1775 - "Boomer Benefits"

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Adam Curry, John C.

Dvorak.

And Sunday, June 22nd, 2025, it's your award-winning Bebon Nation Media Assassination episode 1775.

This is no agenda.

Stop the hammering.

We're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas No Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where you've heard of Bunker Busters, we're the Bunk Busters.

I'm John C.

Dvorak.

It's Craig Bottom Buzzkill.

In the morning.

I see what you did there.

I see.

Well, we learned a couple of new terms.

These military guys are always funny with their acronyms.

We've got the MOP.

That was a new one.

I didn't, let me play this to get us started.

One issue about a possible attack is the 30,000-pound bomb that is part of the U.S.

Arsenal.

It is known as the Bunker Buster.

Although it has been tested, it's never been used in war.

ABC's Martha Rabbits explains.

Come on, Martha.

This bomb, the massive ordnance penetrator or MOP, can only be delivered.

I think I saw one of those in a shop in Amsterdam, actually.

Delivered by the B-2 Steph bomber.

These MOPs in these places.

Yeah, you know what I mean?

The 32,000-pound bomb can penetrate deep into rock and has been tested successfully numerous times, but has never been used before on the battlefield.

The U.S.

has used the smaller MOAB, the 22,000-pound bomb with success, blowing up caves in Afghanistan.

But if the president decides the U.S.

will hit the Fordo nuclear facility, it will be the first time it's used.

So there are some concerns about how effective it would be in an actual strike since much is not known about Fordo, but there would likely be several of these bombs launched because of the uncertainty.

And of course, the U.S.

still wants to get all its assets into the region.

Our thanks to Martha Raditz for that.

A key concern about the bomb is the potential release of radioactive material.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says the hazard will be limited to the areas that are directly around the nuclear sites.

Yes,

so

this has been the same.

So they didn't take any chances on whether this thing worked.

They used 14 of them.

Yeah, just in case.

Which as many.

Just in case.

Well, you know.

Yeah, which as many people noticed sounded very familiar.

Some preconditioning was done.

Your target is an impact point less than three meters wide.

The two-seat aircraft will paint the target with a laser bullseye.

The first pair will breach the reactor by dropping the laser-guided bomb on an exposed ventilation hatch.

This will create an opening for the second pair.

That's miracle number one.

The second team will deliver the kill shot

and destroy the target.

That's miracle number two.

Of course, that is from the latest Top Gun series, and it kind of made me think, you know, this mop thing may not, who knows what they use?

We weren't there, we didn't see it, there's no video.

Maybe this was all predictive programming to think, make us think that they have one of these.

I don't even know.

I don't know what it was.

Maybe it was a mini nuke for all I know.

You know, this sounded all kind of movie-esque, the way this went down.

Well, it was pretty interesting.

I will say that.

Yes.

And I have to play.

There's a series of eclipse from last night.

Can I just say...

She came back on it.

Before you start, I just want people to know

we are going to treat this like everything else,

which will include some humor.

Because if we don't have a war, it's all great.

If we do, we're not all gone.

So that's also good.

Coincidentally.

I'm not expecting that.

No, neither am I.

Coincidentally, this morning, I got my own massive ordinance attack.

Do you remember?

Oh, well, maybe we should stop my idea here and listen to this because it already sounds more interesting than any clip.

I don't know about that.

Somebody unleashed a subscribe bot on me again.

Oh, really?

Now, you remember this happened previously?

Oh, yeah, this happened.

This was a nightmare for you.

A nightmare.

Yeah, so we went to church.

I came back.

There were over 500.

Thanks for subscribing emails.

Thank you very much.

Oh, this is great.

Hey, reset your password.

Hey, confirm your email.

Now, these things, they used to cost money.

They may be easier to do now with

some large language model systems that can access SSD.

Oh,

that's interesting.

Yes.

May be easier to do.

And luckily, we have Void Zero.

And that's when I switched my email server to his care.

Because I'm like, bro, I can't handle this.

This is blowing my system up.

That's the problem with the,

yes.

Yeah.

I mean, I find this deplorable that you can't do your own email.

You need a pro.

Well, okay.

Now, luckily, I had set up a couple of filters back in the day when this happened because, you know, essentially, I can't subscribe to any more newsletters with my email address because

still for years, I'm still getting

newsletters that I can't unsubscribe from because half of these things don't work and the unsubscribe doesn't work, and they don't want to unsubscribe you.

Unsubscribe.

So I literally can't subscribe to a newsletter with my own email address.

So it did take a lot of those and shuttle them off and delete them.

But as I was thinking about it, do you remember the timeframe when this last happened?

No, I didn't.

When someone was so mad at me because I was so wrong?

I don't know.

I know.

COVID.

But this could be any.

Oh, it was COVID?

COVID.

When we were saying COVID was not...

No, it was before that.

No, no, because I remember exactly where we were.

We were in the house in Austin, new house.

And we had just moved there.

So

this was right around COVID time.

And it was cold.

I remember the whole thing.

So it was in 2019, 2020.

Yeah, 2020.

And so.

I thought you were in this place that you're in now longer than from 2020.

No, no.

I'm getting time compression problems.

Oh, I have it too.

Don't worry.

When you get old, you can't remember what?

It's okay.

I have time compression is correct.

So that means that, you know, people are getting pissed off at us, which is what we do.

And there are people who are sad.

They're people sad.

Sad about what?

Well, because we also have started to deconstruct podcasts.

Oh, that's Zodo poor.

Hey, the podcaster should be considered big

game.

Podcasting is the thing.

I've gotten more notes.

All the kids are doing it.

Yes.

Everybody's doing it.

I've had notes telling us, why don't you guys go after the podcasters?

You're always deconstructing shows and media that nobody listens to.

Exactly.

So what happens is when we deconstruct,

you know, like Tucker Carlson or Scott Horton or any podcast.

Dave Smith, your favorite.

We don't have anyone actually deconstructed Dave Smith, but we will.

We'll get to it eventually.

But the point is, Banyan.

People become - oh, yeah, I'm doing that today.

People become - so they feel that

why do you, why are you shitting on other podcasters, man?

Aren't you guys all on the same team?

It's not a club.

Well, yes, because they feel an, and I understand.

It's not a fraternity.

They feel an affinity, and they say, well, you guys all agreed on this and all agreed on that.

I say, well, we don't agree on this.

Actually, you and I don't agree on a lot of stuff.

You know, I heard heard someone say this morning, when there's two people who agree all the time, one of them is unnecessary.

Welcome to PBS News Hour.

Yeah, I love that.

I'm like, wow, that's something, that's a good way of putting it.

Of course, we don't agree on everything, nor should we, for that very reason, if two people agree all the time, one of them is unnecessary.

So it's not that we hate these guys or whatever.

We think we're better than them.

No, we're deconstructing and we have.

We do think we're better than them.

Well, of course we are.

But we have a different opinion about certain things.

And, you know, we've gone through the, oh, you know, you're just shills like everybody else to the, you know, baby man, why you got to hurry up.

So anyway, so we're going to, we're going to continue that because that is.

You're right.

Podcasting's a thing.

So we.

It's the thing.

It's the thing.

Yes.

They all say it's the thing.

It's the thing.

So it's important for us.

Mainstream media is now saying it.

Can I do one right now?

Before you podcasting?

You're going to do a podcast right away?

Podcast deconstruction?

Yeah.

Can you handle it?

Can you handle it?

This one?

This is.

Yeah, if you let me get back to my girlfriend.

Of course.

Of course.

Of course.

This is Rachel Blevins.

Okay.

Already this is good.

With the name Rachel Blevins.

I guess

some creation of Woody Allen.

Wow, that's a good one.

So Rachel Blevins has on her podcast Sarah Bills, B-I-L-S, Sarah Bills, and she is the co-founder of DD Geopolitics.

And DD Geopolitics,

they were born out of necessity, you see.

because no one was looking at geopolitics properly.

So these two girls, young women and attractive young women, and they're doing the podcast, and they also have a video component, which is good because I think that people will want to look at them.

I can see the benefit there, unlike us.

And so

Sarah Bills will introduce the topic here.

And it is about, obviously, about Iran and

about the nuclear bombs, which I think you and I agree is horse crap.

But then she goes, she says something, I'm like, wow, not only are you new in the podcasting, but you're also trying to replace somebody who's been around for quite a while.

And this was Earth moving.

I actually want to go back one week ago when you had Israel launch this Operation Rising Lion, as they decided to name it, which included the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinations targeting Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, because you actually have a really interesting report out, and I'll make sure that it's linked below, in which you dive into how Garland Palantir and their mosaic AI platform have been used by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency over the last decade to map out data points in Iran and how it may have been used to signal this warning that Iran was closer than ever to creating a nuclear weapon.

Can you start by kind of taking us through your findings and really what your reaction was to this information, especially given everything?

Oh, just stop, let her talk.

God, this is the classic podcaster's dilemma.

Just get to the question.

You don't need to.

Oh, yeah.

What your reaction was to this information, especially given everything that we're watching right now.

Well, everybody put your tinfoil hats on.

I am, that's what they're painting me as, right?

The crazy person I'm becoming the new Whitney Webb who got like painted as she's the new Whitney Webb, John.

Woo-hoo!

Everybody's calling her that.

Everybody's calling her the new Whitney Webb.

Get your tinfoil hats on because she is here.

To this information, especially given everything that we're watching right now.

Well, everybody put your tinfoil hats on.

I am, that's what they're painting me as, right?

The crazy person I'm becoming the new Whitney Webb who got like painted as the conspiracy theorist.

I'm kind of obsessed with Palantir.

I find it really fascinating.

And while I was doing the news on Iran and the bombings and paying close attention to who they were assassinating, they assassinated an AI scientist, one of the top AI scientists in Iran.

He worked at the University of Tehran.

And I couldn't find any military or nuclear attachments to him.

So I was like, why the AI guy?

Then a friend of mine, she sent me a tip that said they've been using this software since 2018 called Mosaic, and that is owned and operated by by Palantir.

So, this had all the elements I needed.

It had the nuclear strike, it had Palantir, it had Whitney Webb,

they killed an AI guy.

And I was like, wow.

So, then I started really digging into it, and I realized that it's Palantir.

It's the Mosaic software, which is a cover for Palantir, which is actually exactly like you said, mapping out these data points, stating that there's leaks or issues at certain sites that have never been known to have nuclear issues or nuclear weapons or nuclear material at those sites.

It's very interesting.

And now you see kind of the IAEA saying, well, we didn't say that they had nuclear weapons.

We're just saying that they're in the process of developing them.

It was Mosaic that actually came out and said the uranium is enriched.

beyond capacity.

And

they have enough enriched uranium to build nine bombs.

The nine bomb theory is the new WMDs.

So WMDs was Iraq.

Nine bomb theory is Iran.

They had enough, quote-unquote, enriched uranium to assemble nine dirty bombs, which there's nothing that proves that.

Now we're realizing that this is all because Iran was

going to develop a nuclear weapon.

And then sort of, I'm wondering why we're using predictive software to start wars.

It's over.

For one thing, they're not developing nine dirty.

They could do dirty bombs tomorrow.

Dirty bombs, just a bunch of crap put in a, you know, a regular bomb

in a shot in a bucket.

To explode a bunch of race.

So why is she saying to develop nine dirty bombs?

This is wrong.

I don't know.

So already we have analysis that has got

at its base misinformation.

Well, she says that we're using predictive software to start wars.

And by the way, most people who were okay with President Trump are not okay with him right now.

They do not like him.

is not what I voted for.

I do not vote for war.

Well, I'm just telling you what people disagree with that.

I disagree with it too.

No, no, I disagree with the comment that you made, which is most people.

Okay, most people in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Which for me is

most people.

Yes.

Oh, no.

People don't like this.

Oh, this is interesting.

Yeah.

You know, I find the most interesting part of the show in the last year or so is

your analysis of the locals.

Because it's fascinating because it is a cross-section of a certain type of American that does permeate the entire country.

Yo, fair.

And it's always interesting to me because I'm in Berkeley.

So, you know, I got a pretty standard fare.

You don't get out of the house.

You don't talk to anybody.

You don't talk to your neighbor.

You don't have to buy food, especially water.

You have to go out and get water.

Doesn't Jay just

dehydrate?

Yeah.

So,

and everyone's like, what do you think?

Well, you should listen to the show because we're going to figure out what we think on the show.

But

I would say, well, let's get to your analysis clips and then we can dive.

Let's take a deep dive into this topic, John.

There's a couple of things here.

Now, one of the things,

this woman, I have to say, this is from last night, so it's always, it's wrong, and there's some corrections I want to make up front.

The attack on Iran on the sites consisted of 30 tomahawk missiles sent off from a submarine.

The missiles took one hour and 45 minutes to hit

a couple of the sites, and they were launched in advance of the B-2 bombers, but the B-2 bomber strike were to take place before the...

this of unbelievable complexity to this.

The bomber would bomb the use the bunker bombers, the bunker bombs,

the mop.

The mops, and they were going to use 14 of them.

So

there were seven B-2 bombers with

an array of other fighters.

And they dropped 14 bombs, and those bombs were supposed to hit before the Tomahawk missiles, which were launched an hour and 45 minutes before that.

So, this is information that she doesn't have.

Okay.

And

she's just guessing, and she's so good at this.

This woman is Jennifer Griffin.

She's a version of Herodge, the Pixie girl.

Oh.

She's a gray-haired version.

Oh, yeah, no, she's on Fox the whole time, isn't she?

She's the Fox version of the CIA plan.

She's read in.

Yes, she's read in.

She's read in, yeah.

But she seems to, she hangs out at the Pentagon, so I think she's read in mostly by the military guys.

And she wasn't read in on this, and nobody seems to have been read in on this.

This was a, and she talks about that, and I think that's the most phenomenal part about it.

They did not mention

they're called the magic eight or the eight balls or some bullcrap.

The eight Congress people that are supposed to be informed with something like this are they

it's the the furious five no the uh

what are they called

the eight something yes.

They didn't, weren't told Jack.

And why weren't they told Jack?

Because you can't say this.

You can't trust them.

You can't trust them.

They're working for both sides.

The eight gang of eight.

The gang of eight.

They won't, they'll talk.

They'll blow it.

I don't, I think that Tulsi Gabbard was kept out of some of these meetings because

I don't think that it's that they don't trust her.

They don't trust the CIA and these intelligence agencies from making a phone call.

Hey, there's a bomb's coming in.

Well, wouldn't you think also

an analyst,

an analyst came to me through someone else and said, you know, this is also a big F you to the Brits and the CIA who have been

destabilizing and mucking around in the region for decades, which is absolutely.

Yeah, I thought that, oh, that was spot on when I heard that.

I'm like, yeah, exactly.

So, no, no one was read in.

I got military people saying, oh, B-2 is going going to Guam.

That means it's Iran.

And then, but that was the, that was the diversion.

Yeah.

There were people.

Fabulous.

There were people even in the military who have ties

who were looking at the diversion when the actual strike went the other way.

They went around the globe in the other direction.

That's what Jennifer talks about here.

And she's, uh, she deconstructs this beautifully, considering this is right after it happened.

So her information, you know, she was assuming they're going to drop a couple of these mops mops when they dropped 14.

She doesn't have that information yet.

But let's listen to this.

This is Iran bombing, and this is Jennifer Griffin.

It's notable how much deception was involved in this operation.

All eyes were looking west towards Guam and the B-2s that took off late last night towards Guam.

It's possible that, but the distance there would suggest that the B-2s may have also flown east from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

Remember, the air refuelers, many of them, were placed in Europe and across the Middle East and that was what is known as an air refueling bridge and all of those B-2s would require much air refueling in order to make it

round.

They usually fly round trip from Whiteman and so what we can say and the President said this in his Truth Social post is that a full payload of bombs those massive ordnance penetrators the 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs were dropped at Ford and as we have reported there are two entrances to Ford.

So at least two bombs at each two entrants, which suggests at least two B-2s were involved over Ford.

My suspicion is that there were more.

And then you have the two other sites, Natans, which also has an underground enrichment facility.

The Israelis had not been able to reach or take out that facility despite the last 10 days of bombing.

And so now U.S.

war planes, likely another B-2 bomber, had dropped that MOP, the 30,000-pound bunker bunker buster, on Natans.

And then you also have Isfahan, a third site south of Tehran, and that is also a very significant enrichment facility.

So those B-2 bombers, it's possible that

as everybody was looking west for the B-2s flying towards Guam, that in fact there was another package of squadron of B-2s that were flying east from Whiteman.

It's about a 15-hour trip from Whiteman in Missouri to the Middle East to Iran, and those bombers often fly a round trip and takes them about 30 hours to get home.

So, there was another new term which cropped up, which has been going for the past few days, is the package.

The package.

Yeah,

this package included, this package.

That is, I had not, I don't think I've heard that before

using the term the package.

This is the package we put together.

I can't say that I've heard it either.

It's news to me.

So,

just as right after this happened, which was

our time around 3 o'clock, which I will mention, donations stopped dead

at 3 o'clock yesterday.

We didn't get,

they dribble in usually all night.

Interesting.

But at 3 o'clock, PayPal had no donations after 3.15.

Now, either that PayPal was shuttered or now, the Iranians, you know,

they cut him off because they're

one of the world's greatest hacking operations.

But anyway, let's go on with part two of her.

The other thing I can point out, Brett, is that this is an operation in the last 18 years since I've been at the Pentagon.

I've never seen such operational security.

There was nobody speaking about this, any of the preparations.

There was a complete lockdown, almost a blackout of information for the last few days.

I'm sitting here in the Pentagon right now.

I can tell you the hallways are empty and all of the information is coming right now out of the White House.

That is a significant achievement because

there were no leaks about the timing.

Now, sometimes I think those who, a lot of the flight trackers, the open source intelligence flight trackers, that flight radar did indicate some of the when the B-2s took off from Whiteman, but again, nobody really expected that it would take place this evening.

If you looked at the moon schedule, you might have had a clue because it was a waning crescent and

almost a new moon on the 25th.

So it would have been very, very dark over Iran tonight, and you need that in order to

bomb.

That's the ideal condition for something like a B-2 that is, yes, it's stealth, but it still has to be escorted in in case any Iran were to put up any planes or there were any opportunities to fire on those B-2s which are such valuable and very, very special planes.

Only the U.S.

military has this kind of weaponry and this capability.

No other country in the world could have carried off what occurred tonight.

Oh, well, at least she gets the talking point in at the end.

Good job.

No one can do this.

We're the best.

Number one, foam finger number one.

Trump talk you.

Yeah.

For people's information out there, we have 17 B-2s in service.

They cost about $4 billion to make one.

They stopped making them years ago.

They've moved to the B-21.

And there were 19 built.

One of them crashed,

a bunch of money.

And I guess another one was a lemon.

Monday morning.

Monday morning B2.

It's no good.

So there were plenty of plays to go around

since they sent seven of them.

So here we go with analysis, the end of her.

By the way, I was...

Knowing that this happened, her analysis came right after it started.

I was extremely impressed.

I'm now always going to be impressed.

And when she shows up, I'm going to listen.

That's how it was just pretty astonishing to me as she did all this.

Here we go.

Yeah, Jen, you're exactly right on the operational security here and the fact that there were obviously some red herrings.

And in a world where decisions are made and the world digests the decision even before it's made because of social media and everyone's watching everywhere, this was a pretty amazing operation.

When you start thinking that the president said within two weeks, we are two days from within two weeks

and this happens with a post on Truth Social and no other word really getting out ahead of that is pretty stunning.

The other extraordinary thing, Brett, is that I've spoken to past planners who have been involved in planning for this kind of mission for the past 20 years, and they all told me to a person that it would normally take the U.S.

military about 30 days to get all of their assets, their military assets, into position.

This took about two weeks.

If you count back to the meeting at Camp David on June 8th, where I think this was first discussed,

it's been about two weeks since then.

And

by moving the USS Nimitz from the Pacific to the Middle East and putting all those destroyers in the eastern med

and along with F-22 fighter squadrons which left Langley Air Force Base earlier this week, all of those refuelers, those refuelers are really the heroes also of this mission because it is, again, the U.S.

and Israel are really among the only countries in the world that can

refuel mid-flight.

And that is what allowed those B-2 bombers to fly all the way from the continental U.S.

U.S., from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, all the way to the Middle East without ever having to land.

Yeah, so the other part of the deception was the two weeks thing.

Here's a mini cut.

I'll let you know in about two weeks.

Within two weeks, I could answer that question better in two weeks, and I'll do this at some point over the next two weeks.

I'll announce it over the next two weeks.

You know, in about two weeks, it'll be out in about less than two weeks.

And so, with that in mind, I went back to the clip we played on the last show, and

it actually sounds like President Trump had, of course, made up up his mind.

He knew what the plan was.

It was good to go when he came out with this two-week stuff.

It's just like, wow, everyone bought that.

Oh, I'm like, oh, two weeks.

Okay, we'll see what happens in two weeks.

Not even thinking that that was a lie.

Bullshit.

A lie.

That's a lie.

But when you listen to him in hindsight, he really does sound sincerely sad that he has to do it.

Listen to this clip.

Striking Iranian nuclear facilities.

Where's your mindset behind it?

Right?

You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question.

Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component?

And what time exactly, sir?

Sir, would you strike it?

Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?

I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it.

You don't know.

I may do it.

I may not do it.

I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

I can tell you this, that

Iran's got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate.

And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before?

All this death and destruction.

Why didn't you negotiate?

I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago?

You could have done fine.

You would have had a country.

It's very sad to watch this.

I mean,

I've never seen anything like it.

It's so, you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse.

I didn't.

I didn't think so.

And I was telling them,

you got to do something.

You got to negotiate.

And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that.

And they got hit.

Remember, 60 Days?

And then came the 60 days.

So he sounds sincerely sad that he had this all planned and had to do it.

I think he is.

I think he's sincere when he's

a peace guy.

Now,

knowing that this really, since 1992, we've been hearing about the days, weeks, they're almost there.

Oh, yeah, there was a great meme floating around, which went something like this.

In 1220, the Persian Empire collapsed under the such-and-such,

and they were just two weeks away from a nuclear bomb.

So now, what is not mentioned, and of course there's no clips of it, but Pakistan was sending their Chinese J-35 fighters over to Iran.

I think that the Chinese moves, you know, they had some big

cargo planes flying in.

I think they were gearing up, and that's what made the decision go quicker, because I still believe with certainty that this is about sending a message to China and not about some fictitious or whatever fata morgana of

nuclear bombs.

Because, I mean, this has just been going on forever, this talk.

And at the same time, if there's no more nuclear capability, well, then we're done, right?

Then Iran doesn't have to,

Israel doesn't have to do anything.

We don't have to worry about it.

BB doesn't have to hold up pictures of bombs at the UN because it's gone.

It's done.

So that does kind of erase that whole thing.

It's gone now.

You can't use that anymore.

Can I interrupt for one second and play a clip?

Yeah.

This was, I was, when this war started, coincidentally, I was watching live

El Jazeera.

I felt like getting Al Jazeera clips.

Okay.

And there's something that took place with Trump's post that I don't think anybody recognized as humor.

His initial post, I thought was done as a form of humor that it just was lost on all media.

And so I have the El Jazeera clip.

This is the Trump Truth social post.

And this is the El Jazeera guy reading the thing.

He missed the joke.

Everybody seems to have missed the joke, except, I don't know, me.

And not that I'm that great, but this was so obvious to me.

But can you play this clip?

So here's what the U.S.

President has said in the last few minutes.

U.S.

President Donald Trump posted on his social media account saying, We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Ford, Natans, and Esfahan.

All planes are now outside of Iran airspace.

A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Ford.

All planes are safely on their way home.

Congratulations to our great American warriors.

There is not another military in the world that could have done this.

Now is the time time for peace.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

That's like

a memo.

You got it, too.

A memo, yeah.

Like it's got the memo meme.

Thank you for your attempt.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And nobody has commented on this little phrase that he dropped in there to make it seem like a bureaucratic memo.

Wow.

Yeah, that's interesting.

It's like a word to the wise.

I mean, all these kinds of things you get, if you've ever worked in a company or an agency or anything, you have these memo writers that put shit like that in their memos, and it's very insulting.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The men's washroom will be closed for the next five days.

Exactly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is like I hope this message finds you well.

Please do not flush anything down the toilets that does not belong there.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Totally.

So since you played the Fox Lady, this is what Steve Bannon's big beef was.

Sorry, I'm speaking digital.

Yeah, I'm glad you got this because

I didn't get to hear any of this stuff.

And did you get it this morning?

Unfortunately,

because of our time zones, I didn't get any good stuff from.

I watched a lot of stuff this morning, but I didn't get anything.

Well, I have the slips.

No, I have the clips from this morning, thanks to the Jones Brothers Syndicate.

So we will definitely play some of that.

But first, this is Bannon, and he blames this all on Fox News.

Listen, you can, and people on Fox, oh, it's good versus evil.

It's good.

Yo, dude, John Adams said, if you want to go,

you know, don't go abroad for monster society.

There are monsters all over the world.

We can do the good and evil everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.

Is that what we're going to do?

It's good versus evil.

Let's go.

I would think if you're going to do good versus evil and kind of weigh them up.

By the way, the repetitiveness in this clip is not me editing, that's him.

Maybe we should be marching on Beijing.

Let's roll.

Let's do it.

I don't hear any voices there for that.

It's interesting.

Is Lao Beijing not worthy of that?

It's because they're Chinese.

They're not worthy of that.

Is that what it is?

So is he?

I mean, is he upset that

it's not known that this was about China?

Or

why do I?

I don't think so.

Is that what it is?

Is that what it is?

No, I think a major FARA investigation should take place at Fox News.

I believe that thoroughly.

I think we need to see if they represent a foreign government as an agent.

I think he's saying that Israel

thinks Fox should be registered as a foreign agent for Israel.

Yes.

They think you ought to check the cell phones, see the data, check the emails, what was going back and forth.

What they were pushing on the American people.

What are they pushing on the American people?

Where did this information come from?

I think it has to happen.

You can't have somebody cheerleading you on to war.

You have to sit there.

We haven't been cheerleading against doing it.

What we're saying, first off, number one, we believe it should be done, right?

We agreed that the Moolah should not get nuclear weapons.

We believe there's many paths to do that.

President Trump was pursuing other paths, as he was from the first term.

None of those paths aside were going on the path to kinetic warfare.

None of them.

Okay, none of them.

But we got jammed up because last Thursday night, had to do it, had to do it, had to do it, had to do it, had to do it, had to do it.

Then we did with a sense of urgency, the phony sense of urgency had to upsell.

Now we need regime change, regime change, regime change.

Got to do it, got to do it.

You're not MAGA, you're not Trump, you're not Team Trump, you're not Team Trump.

But look, bro, we've been in these trenches with Trump a long time.

We know who teammates are and who Arriva stays.

So he's channeling George Bush somehow?

That's what is that's an interesting point to catch because he sounds a little like

gotta do it, gotta do it.

Gotta to do it.

Got to do it.

Got to do it.

He sounds like George H.W.

Yeah.

No, George.

No, George.

Yeah, no, George H.W.

is what you got to do.

Got to do it.

And again,

I mean, to me, it's like, wow, this is so obvious what this was about.

You know, it's still like, go away, China.

You have no business here.

And look what we, and

Trump had, you know, Taco.

Taco, I was calling Trump Taco.

Trump always chickens out.

And so he had to show it.

He had to to show that, oh, no, I'm not going to chicken out.

I'm going to blow up these

sand bunkers.

So.

Well, let's stop for a second because Bannon, let's face it,

Bannon is on the outs.

Oh, yeah.

He's been on the outs since Trump started

since 2020.

Actually, even before that.

Once he got thrown out of the White House by

one of the bad actors, it was Kelly or one of these guys.

They got rid of him as soon as they could.

And he, you know, kind of is like a loose cannon.

He's he's, I think he's anti-Israel.

He's also,

more than he is anti-war.

And he has,

I,

he just has a

an abrasive personality of sorts.

I mean, I think he's an entertaining podcaster, but it's everything's all, you know, it's all,

you know, it's all this, you know, this kind of

weird excitement that he's always got.

Like there's some conspiracy going on constantly.

And he's, you know, he's, he's the only one that can identify it.

I don't like the guy.

Wow.

What this

taking our,

I was going to say, taking our theory into account.

You don't like the guy's fine.

Yeah.

He's too annoying for me to watch long periods of.

He's like, okay, I got it.

But he's Team Trump, I guess.

He says that

we've been Team Trump for a long time, bro.

Well, he thinks he is Team Trump.

Somebody sent me a note when I was bitching about one of his clips, and they said with Bannon saying, we, we got this guy, we got hexeth and we got this guy, and we got that guy in.

And this, the note came and says, what Bannon is saying is MAGA, not we means MAGA.

And I'm thinking as a counter to that is that what Bannon is MAGA?

He represents MAGA.

He is the poster boy for MAGA.

I don't think so.

Well, he thinks so.

Or that's what he needs to

justify.

I credit the guy for having an entertaining show, a good podcast.

So taking into account that this has really been about China for a long time, it kind of puts the pellets of billions of dollars of cash into perspective.

I can totally see the Obama administration going to Iran and saying,

you know,

you know,

we'll give you money.

The Chinese got money.

We got more money.

We'll give it to you cash.

We'll put it on pallets.

We'll bring it in.

Just don't do business with China.

You know what I mean?

There is a clip going around I didn't get.

It's on Twitter, floating around.

It's from some screwball show of some woman who's supposedly ex-CIA.

And that pallet of cash was some sort of blackmail.

Maybe it had nothing to do with China.

Maybe, maybe.

Anyway, I don't think that we're giving people money to not do business with China.

It doesn't make sense.

And we're not going to give it to them, that's for sure.

There's something else.

You're not going to give them credit for being smart.

Definitely not.

Okay.

So this morning, the morning shows,

of course,

the Steve Jones and Neil Jones, Jones Brothers Syndicate, always on top.

So

you need to have this guy if we're talking about Iran, because he was up all night in front of his monitor.

Whoa, it's Lindsey Graham, everybody.

You praised the president's decision overnight, and I know you just got off of the phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

What did he say to you about this moment?

Well, first about the president's decision, I thought it was bold, quite frankly, brilliant militarily, necessary, and most importantly, effective.

So well done, Mr.

President, to your team and our military.

It's a fantastic operation that has substantially degraded, I think, Iran's nuclear program.

So I talked to Beebe just a few minutes ago.

So I was talking to Beebe just a few moments ago, and I said, Hey, Bibi.

Hey, Beebe.

I'm Lindsey Graham.

Really?

Really, Graham?

I think Iran's nuclear program.

So I talked to Beebe just a few minutes ago, and I said, What would you like me to say?

Beebe.

Listen to this.

What would you like me to say, Beebe?

If you want to know someone who's under the influence of

Israel,

you can't even pronounce it.

It's this guy.

He is definitely.

What would you like me to say?

What would you like me to say?

He had a comment.

He's comedic just a few minutes ago, and I said, What would you like me to say?

Because I have no mind of my own, BB.

What would you like me to say?

I'm from South Carolina.

I'm a military-industrial complex state.

What would you like me to say?

He said, Tell the American people Israel is profoundly grateful

for all we do for Israel and very grateful to President Trump for what he ordered last night.

Two messages.

He wanted me to urge the Iranian people to end this madness.

Take this regime down and have a better life for yourselves and be part of the region in a new and different way.

And second, he wanted me to tell the American people, Israel's not going to live this way anymore.

Israel.

They're not going to live under threat from Iran anymore.

Last night they were attacked.

The early morning hours of today, after the attack by President Trump, Israel fired ballistic missiles into Israel,

wounding Israeli citizens.

24 have been killed.

This regime is not going to be tolerated by Israel, is what he told me.

Israel.

And then in this next clip, he literally parrots BB, his friend, his good friend Bibi Netanyahu, with the same words.

Okay, so let me follow up with you on that point, Senator, because Prime Minister Netanyahu has signaled to show.

Say what?

This is Meet the Press with Kristen Welker.

Yes, yes, this is from Meet the Press.

Exactly.

Israelis want to carry out regime change.

Would you support that if Israel were to carry out regime change?

If I were Israel, I would have done it a long time ago.

They've been held back in many ways.

What would be the right response if America had a ballistic missile fired into our country and killed our citizens?

We would wipe the offender off the map.

So here's what I hope.

After the hospital attack, and they were so lucky not to lose a lot of people.

By the way, it was not a hospital attack.

It was a building next to the hospital that was an intelligence building, but okay, Lindsay.

Israel's made a decision.

Wait, stop there.

And by the way,

there is a little kind of duplicitousness here because the Israelis have bombed a bunch of hospitals in Gaza.

And nobody wants to bring that point up because the hospitals were used as cover for, you know, the use of civilian cover for their operations.

What, and how is that different than an intelligence operation next to a hospital?

It's not.

But it's Lindsey Graham.

Israel's made a decision.

This regime is going to change in one of two ways.

They're going to change their behavior, which I doubt the regime itself, or the people are going to replace the regime.

They have less capability today than they did yesterday, but they're still religious Nazis.

They want to purify Islam.

That is literally Netanyahu talk.

Religious Nazis.

They're Nazis.

They want to.

That's a very strange comparison to make.

Yeah.

I mean, the Nazis

was very specific.

Yeah.

It's the National Socialist Party of Germany in the 19th late 20s.

Now I see

they're religious Nazis.

Graham is.

The whole thing is ridiculous.

You know, I also want to reintroduce the idea that all this is theater and it's that the Ayatollah who ditched himself into a bunker, he's the only one who put himself in a safe place while they're killing all the generals and AI guys and nuclear scientists.

And the possibility still exists in my mind

that this is all a setup to get rid of all these threatening military guys that were threatening the regime.

As we say in the old country, they're all playing under the same hat.

They're all playing under the same hat.

And

from Solimani, when Trump killed him on, it's all been just getting rid of these guys one after the other.

So it's possible that

it's possible the Ayatollah is actually a good guy and we'd like to get China out of there, too.

They don't want China.

Sorry?

Well, the Ayatollah was against nuclear weapons.

He was again, he's been, he's publicly been against it the whole time until

this whole thing could be a huge setup

designed to get rid of the nukes, get rid of the Chinese, get rid of the military guys that want to run the country anyway, get rid of all of them and really rearrange Iran for the benefit of the guys, the conspirers who have been working with Israel and the United States all along.

As people in the Mideast, we brought it up on our show numerous times.

All the time they say this.

No, no, all the time.

Iran working together.

All the time.

They say it all the time.

Why?

At least we should keep that in play because I think it's still in play.

Let's go to our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

I'm liking Rubio more and more, by the way.

This is the only guy that matters.

He doesn't smile anymore.

He's not funny.

Yes, no, no humor.

Humorless Marco.

He is, and he's probably the only voice that matters right now because

he runs the State Department.

He can talk.

And he's the head of intelligence.

Oh, yeah, he's the head of the

lot.

He runs a lot of stuff.

Well, here he is on

Face the Nation with Margaret.

Mr.

Secretary, I know it has been an intense few hours.

But so far, it does not appear that Iran has yet retaliated against the United States.

What intelligence do you have at this point about their capabilities to respond, the intent of their proxies?

Is there any kind of command and control structure left to activate them?

Yeah, well, we'll see what Iran decides to do.

I think they should choose the route of peace.

We've done everything.

We have been over backwards, okay, to create a deal with these people.

Steve Woodcoff has traveled the world extensively, met with them, well, not even met with them, met through the Omanis with them and discussed back and forth.

We even put an offer to them that they wanted elements of it in writing and we offered.

It's a very generous offer, by the way.

We've done it, and we're prepared

right now.

If they call right now and say, we want to meet, let's talk about this, we're prepared to do that.

The president's made that clear from the very beginning.

His preference is to deal with this issue diplomatically.

But he also told them we had 60 days to make progress or something else was going to happen.

And I think they thought they were dealing with a different kind of leader, like the kinds of leaders they've been playing games with for the last 30 or 40 years, and they found out that's not the case.

So this mission was a very precise mission.

It had three objectives, three nuclear sites.

It was not an attack on Iran.

It was not an attack on the Iranian people.

This wasn't a regime change move.

This was designed to degrade and or destroy three nuclear sites related to their nuclear weaponization ambitions, and that was delivered on yesterday.

What happens next will now depend on what Iran chooses to do next.

If they choose the path to diplomacy, we're ready.

We can do a deal that's good.

for them, the Iranian people, and good for the world.

If they choose another route, then there'll be consequences for that.

So right away, and I'm quite sure that there's still elements within the military-industrial complex who are like, well, no, we don't want diplomacy.

We can't have that.

So they've launched this, and this comes to me through

the typical channels, and these people don't even know they're doing it themselves.

Like, well, you know, their trucks and stuff was getting out, and it might not be, you know, it might not be over.

There may be some stuff still left.

We didn't get it all.

It didn't work.

What is the U.S.

assessment of how much nuclear material at those sites was moved prior to the attack?

There has been talk for days about bombing of Ford out.

Well, look,

no one will know for sure for days, but I doubt they moved it because you really can't move anything right now.

And they can't move anything right now inside of Iran.

I mean, the minute a truck starts driving somewhere, the Israelis have seen it and they've targeted it and taken it out.

So our assessment is we have to assume that that's a lot of 60% enrich uranium buried deep under the ground there in Isfahan.

And that really is the key.

What they should do with that is they should bring it out of of the ground and turn it over.

Multiple countries around the world will take it and downblend it.

That's what they should do with that.

And what they should do is say, we're not going to have any enrichment capability in our country.

Instead, what we're going to have is a civil nuclear program like dozens of countries around the world have, where we build reactors that create electricity and we import enriched material.

And we've made very generous.

I'm not going to get all the details of the offers, but there are other avenues here that would be acceptable to them.

Where do we import enriched materials from?

Who does that?

Is that us?

I mean,

who's the boss of the enriched material that he's not essentially?

So we build reactors that create electricity, and we import enriched material.

And we've made very general, I'm not going to get all the details of the offers, but there are other avenues here that would be acceptable to them.

If that's what they wanted, if what they want is a civil, peaceful, nuclear program, the route has always been there.

The problem is that everything they're demanding has nothing to do with a peaceful program.

They are all the things you would want if you want to retain the option of one day weaponizing the program,

which has been their clear intent.

To me, that's indisputable.

I followed this issue for 15 years, including the intelligence on it for 15 years.

Okay, I have followed it.

And the intelligence, these are assessments, and sometimes they've been wrong.

I've seen them revised multiple times.

These guys want a nuclear weapon one day.

Okay, to that point.

And it isn't going to happen.

Not when Donald Trump is president.

One day, he said.

Oops.

Marco, don't give it away.

Let's address the regime change because that's another thing that just got launched into the ether.

As far as I know, not by the administration, not by the president, but I think by people who are very upset and compare this to the weapons of mass destruction, the aluminum tubes, we're being lied to, we're all going to die, there's going to be a war.

Trump promised us no war, no never ending wars.

And with that comes regime change.

You've said this is not about regime change, but you are describing a regime that you have said for decades, I mean, for upwards of 40 years, has chanted death to America, has done all the things you just described.

Isn't a diplomatic deal with them a lifeline?

Aren't you offering to negotiate with the same people you're saying did all these things?

So therefore

are you actually

looking for regime change?

That misses the point.

I don't like that they chant those things, but one thing is that they chant those things.

Another thing is that they chant those things and they have terror proxies that are all over the world and they have long-range missiles that can reach the United States one day and they have the potential to be one step away from a nuclear weapon.

Well, one day it could be tomorrow, could be a week from now, could be a month from now.

You know, all it takes is the flip of a switch.

By the way, they're not going to broadcast that to the world.

By the time we figure out that they're doing it, you have all the pieces in place, okay?

It's like

the gun here and the ammunition.

It only takes one second.

We have other targets that we could hit, but we achieved our objective.

The primary targets we were interested in are the ones that were struck tonight in devastating fashion.

The ones that were struck, I guess, tonight over there,

in devastating fashion.

And we've achieved that objective.

There are no planned military operations right now against Iran

unless they mess around and they attack American or American interests, then they're going to have a problem.

F-A-F-O.

Then they're going to have a problem.

And I'm not going to broadcast what those problems are, but suffice it to say, know this.

The United States flew halfway around the world, right into the heart of Iran, over their most sensitive locations.

These things got rocked.

And then we left.

And we were out of their airspace.

We were over the ocean before they figured out what had happened.

And there's plenty of other targets.

We don't want to do that.

That's not our preference.

We want peace deals with them, and that's up to them to decide.

They got rocked.

We rocked them.

They got rocked.

So, and now we get down to the nitty-gritty because this is really what the issue is about.

If you look at the price of oil, who determines the price of oil, who is selling the oil, who is selling the oil mainly to China or any type of

energy

stuff,

coal, oil, gas, etc.

And the shipping routes, which is what we use when we sell our stuff and we control the oil.

You said defend American interests.

Would the United States military take action to keep, for example, the transit point, the Strait of Hormuz open?

If there are attacks on oil installations, would the United States consider that a direct act by the state, even if it was carried out by a militia?

Well, I'm not going to take options away from the president.

That's not something we're talking about right now in terms of being immediate.

But if they do that, the first people that should be angry about it are the Chinese government because they take a lot of of their oil comes through there.

So they should be the first ones that are saying if they mine the Straits of Hormuz, the Chinese are going to pay a huge price.

And every other country in the world is going to pay a huge price.

We will too.

It'll have some impact on us.

It'll have a lot more impact on the rest of the world.

A lot more impact on the rest of the world.

It would be a suicidal move on their part because I think the whole world would come against them if they did that.

Will the Chinese and Russians stop trading with Iran?

Stop trading with Iran.

You have to ask the Chinese and the Russians.

Probably not.

I mean, they're getting, you know,

well, the Russians are getting a bunch of these, you know, these drones that they're using are coming from Iran.

Exactly.

They're coming from Iran.

So I saw the foreign minister, instead of meeting with Steve Witkoff, has headed to Moscow to meet with Putin, which was a pre-scheduled meeting, which is fine.

You know, they can go meet.

And, you know, the Russians, at the end of the day, I mean, they buy drones from them.

But look, this is very simple.

We want to have an agreement with them, a diplomatic agreement, in which they have a civil nuclear program but are not enriching and don't have weapons-grade material or weapons-grade capabilities laying around.

That's that simple.

I thought it was so hilarious on DH Unplugged, which airs live every Tuesday, and you can listen to it on the podcast on Wednesdays, that Horowitz had, after 10 years, had pulled all of his clients out of oil, and then this happens.

Oil spikes.

Oh, wait,

crap, Ola.

You know?

Okay, you're back.

Sorry about that.

Could you hear me?

So

the

you didn't get ⁇ unfortunately, I wish that

there was a clip of Rubio from this morning where he says this makes this comment about meeting face to face and not passing notes back and forth and having all these middlemen like third graders.

And it was just a very funny comment because I guess we haven't really had a meeting with the Rubik's.

No, no, it's always they have to write down on a note and the Omanis take it to another suite in the hotel and then they take a note.

It's bull crap.

Yeah, it's bull crap.

You can't do that.

No.

Well, so here's the final message from

our Secretary of State.

When did the President make this decision?

Because he said he was giving two more weeks of diplomacy on Friday and on Friday these jets took off.

Well, the president retains the opportunity to pull out of this at any moment, including 10 minutes before.

But the president ordered options.

Look, the decision, in my view, was made when he wrote a letter to the Supreme Leader, and he said, over the next 60 days, we want to do a deal with you and solve this problem of nuclear weaponization.

We want to do it peacefully.

If after 60 days, we don't see progress or it isn't solved.

We have other alternatives.

He made that very clear.

I think what some people are struggling with here is that we today have a president who does what he says he's going to do.

And that's what happened here.

That was the point.

That was the point.

I like the way she tries to interrupt him.

Yeah.

He's hard to block.

Yeah, he's good.

I actually like a lot of people thought he was a bad choice because he's like a, you know,

for various reasons.

I've enjoyed him as a Secretary of State.

I think he's entertaining.

He could be funny if he wanted to be.

We know that from the past, but he's decided to go with this very serious style.

You know who was a bad choice?

Our ambassador to the United Nations.

Because Stefanik was going to be the ambassador, which I thought would have been a good choice.

I think it is.

No, no, she got kicked back.

Ambassador UN.

Let me see.

Who became it?

Madam Ambassador.

What's her name?

Oh,

Dorothy Shea.

Man, Dorothy, you need to update your picture

on your Wikipedia.

So, what's wrong with her?

I've never heard of her.

Well, let's see.

I know they wanted Stefanik in there, but then they didn't have enough people in the House of Representatives.

They didn't want to let, you know, Kathy Hochl appoint some Democrat, and so they had to keep her in the House of Representatives.

They pulled her nomination, and she was, you know, she wanted to do the job.

Well, let's see.

What did she do previously?

I think it's just a stand-in.

Yeah, well, she's no good.

Listen to this gaffe.

Israel's government has also spread chaos, terror, and suffering throughout the region.

What?

What?

What?

Iran's government has also spread chaos, terror, and suffering throughout the region.

Let us not.

She does a do-over like it's going to get edited out.

Oh, no, that's no, no, you said Israel.

You meant Iran.

Iran's government has also spread chaos, terror.

Or is it just the truth coming out?

Well, I have a, if you want to play, I have a clip similar to that

in terms of somebody just the stupidest thing.

I mean, that's like saying, you know, the

vaccine gas we heard during COVID.

Instead of saying this virus is killing people, this vaccine is killing people.

The vaccine is killing people.

It's a truth coming out thing, man.

That's what it is.

So they,

just to change the topic for a second, I'm sure we'll get back to the

Iran conflagration, but

so they let this guy, the guy that was in Louisiana, Mahmoud Khaliz.

Yes, they, and

what a political move with AOC walking out of the airport with him.

Oh, it's horrible.

AOC is just digging a hole for herself.

Yeah, that's not a good look.

So they had this guy, they had a quote.

This is from again from El Jazeera.

And you have to listen carefully to what he says.

This is him yaking away.

It's a very short clip.

How long is this clip?

Who am I looking for here?

It says HKAH

Yes, okay.

L, I'm sorry.

Okay.

27-second clip.

Listen carefully to his words.

Khalil took part in protests at Columbia University, one of many across college campuses last year, in support of Palestinian people.

The US government is funding this genocide, and Columbia University is investing in this genocide.

This is why I was protesting.

This is why I will continue to protest with every one of you.

Not only if they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting, too.

Yeah, even if you kill me, I'm going to speak up.

Keep speaking.

How does that work?

Yeah.

Now, what is going to happen with this guy?

Because it was because of a judge, another federal judge that they said, oh, you can't do this.

I love how the Guardian positions it.

Let me see if I still have that article.

The Guardian just is like continuous.

Oh, yeah, here it is.

Got the Guardian.

Columbia graduate and legal U.S.

resident.

Yeah, I like the way they always do that.

Yeah, and they keep saying that, keep saying that, but you know, even a green card, there are kind of restrictions on that.

You can't do certain things,

including just getting arrested.

I still think the guy's some sort of plant.

Well, Well, we'll see.

Well, he didn't have the kifiya before, but now he does.

It's like, oh, yeah, he never used to wear that thing.

And then as soon as he comes out of jail, they're walking him all over the place.

Where did it come from?

He's wearing it all over like he had it in jail.

No, AOC gave it to him.

Yeah, but

AOC gave it to him.

Yeah.

Hello, Khalil.

Yeah, she was wearing one.

I'm like, Roy, Roy, Roy Kent.

Let me see.

Talking about people like her.

Let's listen to this clip.

This is the

Iran

bombing naysayers.

This is about the people that are going to be bitching and moaning about it.

What people say.

We've already seen AOC come out and say, you know, this was terrible.

What is happening?

This is an escalation.

You know, when I was a surgery resident, I always learned from everybody.

I learned who to be like and I learned who not to be like.

And so I think this is going to be a very similar moment where the masks are going to come off and we're going to be able to see in this moment of moral clarity who is morally clear and who is confused.

Yeah, and I'm wondering, Emily Austin, if Emily Austin is still with us, I'm wondering, Emily, the people you talked to, was there anybody who was disappointed?

Anybody who said, you know what, there's probably a better way to do this than the United States going in and knocking out their nuclear plans?

My guess is probably of those that you came in contact with, no,

but you tell me.

No, that was a trick question, but the answer is no.

I feel like the best proof that tonight's mission was ultimately a success is we can see who's upset about it.

Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Rashida, Elon, Chuck Schumer.

This is the litmus test.

On a more serious note, a reoccurring theme that we're discussing tonight is what can we expect in retaliation.

Now I want to point out, needless to say, that Iran's military, militarily, they've been weakened.

However, I think it's important that we take note of what they are capable of doing in retaliation.

I believe that what they can do is a cyber strike, cyber attack, something of that sort, because militarily they're going to need a couple of weeks to recoup, re-strategize.

They're very, very weak right now.

But like everyone else said, I'll echo it, they're not going to let their ego be humiliated on such a public stage and meet at the negotiating table.

I think we know they'd rather die a martyr than take that route.

Investigate that woman, Farah, investigation.

Right away.

She's on Gushville all all the time this this gal and she's a um she's also wearing a giant uh cross of david and or david star

there you go and she's uh well she doesn't hide it and she's uh

yeah but that's not the same as filling out your farrah form gen z

uh journalist

and she likes to brag about that too and it is well ultimately this is a and maybe that's part of why he was sounded so sad but this is a big gamble for the president because of his promise of no forever wars, which has kind of morphed into no wars, ending the stupid wars.

Either this ends it or it kicks off something more, and that becomes very irritating.

It could be irritating.

And

that would be very bad for the people.

But if we go with the thesis that we ourselves have

developed, which is the China thesis and the rigged theater

thesis, it should be fine.

Well, yeah, but they've got to.

It's a certain point, why doesn't he just tell the American people this is, you know, China is the issue here?

We can't use that.

I don't think he wants to tell China.

Oh, like, China's stupid?

Like, huh, I wonder what that was about.

Well, maybe you have something there, but maybe that I it's just

he wants China China to think that he's stupid.

I'm sure they know he's not stupid.

I don't know that they know that because the Democrats keep saying that he is.

He's stupid and he's Hitler and

he's a dictator and all the other stuff.

It's got to be confusing.

Well, if he I mean, not everybody's got some clarity like we might have and our and our producers all seem to have, where they're not freaking out about everything, except there are a group that do, obviously.

And you have your people there in

Fredericksburg, Cornhole, Texas.

Cornhole, whatever.

I'm sorry.

Fredericksburg.

Wow.

Wow.

Podunk.

It's a Poe Dunk.

Lipshard Berkeley.

Give me a break.

Are you wearing your kiffier when you go shopping so you don't get accosted?

Birkenstocks.

Well, there's that.

You're Birkenstocks.

But I'm just saying, it's definitely a risk

with the midterms on the way.

And I think it does feel to me.

But it also triggers

a sense of patriotism with a lot of people.

I mean, when you saw this whole thing take place with the secretiveness and the craze and how well it was executed and it was in and out,

I think it turns a lot of people into pay.

Merka.

Sorry?

Merca.

Merca, baby, Merka.

Yes, exactly.

And I think that is good for the midterms.

I will also say that this, the timing of this, maybe to drag a few people over the line for the big, beautiful bill

feels like that was definitely a consideration.

Yeah, I've been listening to more shit chat about the big beautiful bill, and a lot of it is over the salt issue.

That seems to be the last thing, just how much you'll be able to deduct.

So

if you recall back in the first Trump administration,

everyone said there was a tax cut for the rich, but we had our.

They screwed the rich.

They screwed the rich, but because of salt,

you could only deduct up to $10,000 in state and local taxes, which includes mortgages and everything in between.

And

state tax, the whole thing.

And $10,000 was the limit.

And rich people, that deduction was hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases, if you're really loaded.

But they dropped it to $10,000, which screwed all the rich people that had this,

counted on that deduction.

So Mike Johnson wants to raise that to 40.

Yeah.

But the Senate wants to keep it at 10,000.

Yeah, and there's some sunset provision that's all about, well, will it end in 2028?

And, you know, there's all kinds of shenanigans going on, but it doesn't seem like it's about much else.

Shenanigans.

There's not much else, though.

It seems to only be down to the salt.

I don't think there was much else that they're still arguing.

I think they're going to do a compromise that's going to come out at 20, 20, and then they'll

best price.

Best price.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we'll see.

I mean, we'll see what happens in the next between now and Thursday.

What we need, we need

like the Epstein files to drop or a show business scandal.

We need something else.

Show business scandal is not going to cut it.

Epstein files could.

Yeah.

But there's always

stories like this disgusting story, which could get some attention.

It's probably a good time for it to come out during the war, so it doesn't get as much attention.

The dead babies in Ireland story.

They use this as a burial ground.

A baby dying almost every fortnight.

There are decades of secrets buried here.

So many tales of pain and anguish.

Today is the first glimmer of hope, finally, for hundreds of families throughout Ireland and further afield, that Chewam here in County Galway will finally give up its dead.

So what happened here?

From 1925 to 1961, nuns ran a so-called mother and baby home at this site, somewhere unmarried mothers were sent in disgrace in deeply Catholic Ireland.

The illegitimate children were treated shamefully.

An inquiry later found around 9,000 infants died in 18 such homes, resulting in a state apology four years ago.

In Chuam, historian Catherine Corliss discovered almost 800 children had died, only two were were properly buried.

The rest remain under this grassy patch in what used to be a sewage tank.

We are standing on the chambers.

There are about 20 of them.

They stretch right across here.

The chambers were built inside the tank.

They're little openings in concrete and they go down

nine feet.

So the babies had to be placed one on top of the other.

There's no way for an adult to actually get down into those chambers.

So that's just a horrific thought when you think about it.

The dumping of the children's remains in this way sparked outrage in Ireland.

A decade since the story first broke, it's hoped the excavation work starting today can finally afford a dignified reburial to hundreds of innocent children whose only crime was being born out of wedlock.

No, no, that doesn't cut it.

That doesn't get anybody outraged.

They're Irish.

It's like, meh.

I don't see people get it.

Of course, it's horrible, but I don't think

it'd be the grossest story of the week.

So when you I look at my email to see how bad.

I don't know what you can come up with that's gonna top the war.

Something with BRC.

That's about it.

I mean, the Diddy stuff is, it's all no good.

It's completely no good.

There's nothing in there.

No, it stinks.

I love this email from the truth addict.

Instead of ridiculing people for coming across info you are unaware of,

maybe,

maybe, try a simple web search.

Propaganda, I'm sure, but it's being spoken of contrary to what y'all just lead listeners to believe.

Like, what?

Yeah, dirty bomb attack, Iran's next move against Israel, dirty bomb attack.

She said nine dirty bombs, dude.

You understand?

It's like, but why?

Why do you email me like that?

Why are you even listening?

What's the point of this?

Try a simple web search.

You're wrong.

Dirty bombs.

Dirty bombs are real.

Yeah, of course.

We've been hearing about dirty bombs since we started doing the show.

And

before.

It's always been dirty bomb, dirty bomb, dirty bomb.

Oh, it's going to be a dirty bomb.

Okay.

Dirty bomb in New York, dirty bomb in California, dirty bomb everywhere.

Yeah, of course.

We've heard all this.

This is the benefit.

This is the boomer benefit.

We've heard it all.

Boomer benefit.

This is show, show title.

Boomer benefit.

Write it down.

Yeah.

I mean, it is.

And maybe we're just blase

or what is the term?

Jaded is a word.

Yes, jaded.

Boomer benefit.

But we've heard it all.

It's like, oh, how many, how many, you know what?

How about this?

How about we find out there's no gold at the Federal Reserve?

Remember that?

Remember that?

When is that?

That's still in play.

Where's the live stream of that?

By the way, I saw that

the

largest,

let me see, what was it?

It's official.

Geologists have discovered the largest gold deposit ever recorded, a value of over $80 billion in China.

Now, what does that do to the price of gold?

Shouldn't gold go down?

Technically, it should.

And speaking of gold, John, I buy my gold at the gold boys over here.

I wanted

Goldco.

Goldco.

I want to make sure that all you seniors get really worried about the economy and buy my limited gold coins for 25% above spot price.

I get 5% of your order.

Gold.

It's good.

So I have two clips just to annoy you.

And this is a lecture on planet money

about stable coins, which has a kicker at the end.

Stable coins.

Which just cracked.

The kicker cracked me up.

You'll catch it.

But this is information.

This is people that don't know anything.

And they're just because

Planet Money is a goofball show where they laugh and chuckle at everything they say.

They can barely speak.

Is it still that Kyle guy who hosted it?

I don't know who's these two.

There's two or three people.

Actually, if you take a look at their webpage, they have like 30 people working there, probably all making good money.

But it's just a goofball show, and they go on about trying to, and they're never, it's like always kind of off, you know, that's not quite right, you know, but I figured this is perfect for you.

First, it says that companies that run stable coins need to hold the equivalent amount of actual U.S.

dollars or close equivalents, like U.S.

Treasury bonds.

Okay, makes sense.

Then it clarifies who's in charge of regulating stable coins in the U.S.

Stablecoin lecture.

This is stablecoin.

Oh, stablecoin 2.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

My indicator is $27.6 trillion.

That's a measure of how much people are using stablecoins globally.

Last year, there was $27.6 trillion worth of trading, payments, and transfers on stablecoins like Tether.

And I bring this up because the Senate has just passed a bill that might bring special regulation for these cryptocurrencies for the first time.

Makes sense sense that there's so much money zipping through the blockchain that maybe some lawmakers want to put some guardrails on.

Yes, and so a reminder of what stable coins are.

They are cryptocurrencies whose value is pegged to something else, often the US dollar.

So unlike Bitcoin or Ether, whose values fluctuate wildly, you are promised that when you buy one of these cryptocurrencies, it'll stay basically the same.

And because of this apparent certainty, stablecoins are increasingly popular.

We'll link to our full explainer on stable coins in the show notes.

These cryptocurrencies are often used for people sending money across borders who would otherwise face high bank fees and delays, or they're used in countries where inflation is high, also for scams and drug deals and ransoms.

Yeah, all right.

So, wide range there.

What then

is in this bill?

Is it addressing some of those things?

A lot of use cases.

Many use cases, as Wayland said.

To be clear, the things I just mentioned are illegal.

You don't need to illustrate it.

Anyway, they don't need special regulation.

But the coins themselves seem to.

So the bill does a few things.

Oh, my goodness.

What is this monkey house?

Oh,

I know they do that constantly.

They completely KYC'd stable coin, which somehow is a cryptocurrency.

You can use that to do drug deals.

Okay.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Okay.

And now the other clip, is this where I'm going to get even more annoyed by these people?

No, you're going to get really annoyed by this one.

First, it says that companies that run stable coins need to hold the equivalent amount of actual US dollars or close equivalents, like U.S.

Treasury bonds.

Okay, makes sense.

Then it clarifies why it makes sense of regulating stablecoins in the U.S.

The bill says for large stablecoins, it's the office of the comptroller of the currency.

And for the smaller stable coins, it's actually up to the state where the stablecoin company is based.

Is that actually like, is one like a giant coin?

Is that the large one and the and the small one is like a like a dime-sized stable coin?

I'm very confused, Planet Money.

Huh.

Okay, so you would hope that then those state regulators are on top of this.

They're having the baton handed to them.

Yeah, and you've hit on a major criticism of the bill.

Berkeley economist Barry Eichengreen wrote an op-ed in the New York Times this week.

He pointed out that regulators couldn't move fast enough to act when Silicon Valley Bank's assets were vaporizing a few years ago.

And so he's skeptical that regulators will be able to scrutinize the hundreds or even thousands of stable coins that could be issued all over the country.

Supporters of the bill, though, say that this at least gives some rules of the road as opposed to none.

And speaking of rules, I read that the Trump family can still promote their stable coins under this bill.

Yeah, members of Congress can't shield the stablecoin game, but presidents and their families, they are notably excluded.

Wow.

It's a meme coin.

It's like Trump stakes.

It's sneakers.

Ah, you idiots.

You're right.

I'm very annoyed by that.

I knew that would get you.

The meme coin coin coin coin.

The meme coin.

The Trump stable coin.

It cracked me.

I mean, I don't even know that much about it and caught that a mile away.

It is true, though, that.

So, first of all, what they don't get right is the House and the Senate bill differ on those on who is going to regulate it.

That's going to be the big thing.

So who's going to regulate stablecoin?

And it's certainly true that we're going to see idiotic things like the Walmart stablecoin and the Amazon stablecoin, which you may not be able to use in other places.

It's going to basically be like a loyalty card.

It's going to be very stupid, a lot of this.

But the market for...

Well, it wouldn't be that much different than having the Macy's credit card.

Right.

No, I agree.

Well, I don't know.

I don't know if you're going to be able to use the Walmart stable coin over at Amazon.

That's what I don't know.

No, you definitely won't be able.

Are you kidding me?

Well, I can tell you right now that you're going to be able to do that.

Well, then that's

not the same as the Macy's credit card.

A credit card is a credit card.

No, Macy's.

No, no, no.

Macy's had their own in-store credit card that is only used at Macy's.

You're right, dude.

You're right.

You're right.

I forgot about that.

You're right.

Okay.

So that, first of all, is just factually wrong, whatever they're talking about.

It really is going to come down to which agency is going to regulate it.

But I think the numbers about Tether are correct.

There's 400 million people using stablecoin, Tether Stablecoin, as a U.S.

dollar equivalent all over the world, not really in the U.S.

So we'll see.

I think the better reporting, if

the show is worth a crap, this

better reporting would be to tell people how to implement stablecoins in their own life with details.

Yes.

So people can know, I get some sense of it.

This is just pie in the sky.

We don't know what to, I don't even know, you know, if you didn't know first thing about it, you would say, well, this is crazy.

And wait, wait, 27 trillion or whatever it was?

Too very

high number of people.

2.7, 2.7 trillion.

I thought it was 27.

I thought it was 2.7.

Well, play the beginning of, it's right at the beginning of the clip, first clip.

My indicator is $27.6 trillion.

oh you're right but that doesn't sound right doesn't sound right well that's what it is

his indicator his indicator okay

so fifi legarde comes out

you know uh fifi is uh

buddy christine lagarde of the european central bank now she's taking questions the q a

and she so she's sitting behind the dais And she's wearing some glittery type sweater with glittery speckles in it and she has a sash a green sash over her shoulder like like she's at starfleet command this woman is nuts you know what i mean she wears she i've seen her wear this before it's almost like a beauty queen yes yes

like i have my sash i show authority because you know she if if there was a uniform for the the european central bank she'd wear it she might even get uniforms for everybody and so she's talking about the digital euro listen to this many people are a little worried about what will happen to them with the digital euro.

Can you encourage them?

Why is the digital euro good for people like you and me?

A digital currency where it has been piloted and there is only one which is clearly now launched in in a in a very small country, but it is piloted on a fairly large scale in in China is of use and of service to all citizens.

So it is not something that

is

good for the elite or is good for the young or is good for some versus others.

Anybody.

If it is well done and if it is well implemented, it would be of service to all citizens.

What I hear her saying

is, oh, you know, China has done it.

It's piloted on a fairly large scale.

And, you know, what the Chinese do, it's of use and of service to all citizens.

Yeah,

connected to your social credit score.

That's what they're planning.

She's planning, and by the way, stablecoin could be used in the same manner.

But man, she just said, oh, no, China's doing this great.

It's good for everybody.

And you know, I told you, they're cracking down.

You can't have more than 3,000 euros in cash in your possession.

It's now illegal.

It's becoming illegal in all the member states in Europe.

Cannot have more than 3,000 euros in cash in your possession.

Why?

Because you must be a criminal.

Literally, you must be.

By the way, I think we have a note from one of our producers.

I think she actually donated.

It's probably a long note.

She was coming across the border and had just under $10,000 in cash and got pulled aside for the same reason.

There must be drugs.

Sure, she's coming in here?

Yeah, I think she donated.

Well, yeah, we have, but it's on the on the card.

It says you can't bring, you can't be moving more than 10,000 in cash.

I know, but they, I think, we'll get to it when we read her donation note, but I think that what the Border Patrol said was, it's got to be drugs.

We're going to find the drugs.

None of this is good.

Then that's when you respond.

I already sold the drugs.

That's where I got the money from.

I'm high on him, man.

What are you talking about?

You can't get him anymore.

Okay.

Can I do three NPR clips?

Because, you know, I'm a big fan of...

Oh, you're poaching my territory, I see.

Not really, because this is on the media.

On the media has always been.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, you've been hogging that one.

I've been on the media, on the media.

With Brooke.

I don't remember if it was.

Who was there was a dude who...

The older guy.

It was Brooke Gladstone and her dude buddy.

Well, no, but that's the young guy.

That's Micah.

But before that, there was an older guy.

I think he got kicked off for some reason.

There was some older guy.

This ageism.

No,

I think he pinched somebody's butt or something.

There was something, something he had to go.

And, you know, I like On the Media.

It's an NPR podcast, is how I listen to it, about the media.

It's also on the air.

I know, but it's about the media.

And so when podcasting was coming up, you know, NPR was all jacked about, whoa, let's talk to Adam Curry.

Adam Curry, blah, blah, blah.

That's exactly what they said.

That's what I remember of the conversation.

Adam Curry, blah, blah, blah.

But it was about podcasting.

But it was media.

It's always been about the media.

Now, of course, with Congress, not President Trump directly, but Congress threatening to cut their 1% of funding, which just seems like it's so horrible.

Man, they've gone full Trump hate.

This is the beginning of on the media for this week.

Last Saturday, Trump looked a bit glum at his, I mean, the Army's birthday parade.

Right there at his,

I mean, the Army's birthday parade.

That is, is that reporting?

No.

No.

Bias

observations.

Well, it just keeps.

So the minute I heard that, I'm like, this is not about media.

This is about how much you hate Trump.

Last Saturday, Trump looked a bit glum at his, I I mean, the Army's birthday parade.

The soldiers weren't in tight formation.

They smiled and waved.

But with sparse crowds and very high humidity, Military.com noted that the mood was shaped by a strange quiet.

The organizers we're expecting are around 200,000 people.

That's definitely not the case.

Newsmax.

Newsmax is reporting 10,000 people showed up for this thing.

Michael Wolf, author of the 2018 bestseller Fire and Fury Inside the Trump White House, told the Daily Beast that he'd heard the president later reamed out Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth over the parade's mildly festive tone.

Wolf suggested that the problem was maybe it wasn't quite North Korean enough.

Didn't send the message that he apparently wanted, which is that he was the commander-in-chief of this.

So she says it wasn't North Korea enough.

That was not in the article.

This is all very strange editorializing.

I think they're hurting the show because I didn't like it.

Menacing.

How a media enterprise.

Anyway, the president clearly wasn't happy.

I think the simple word here is hurt.

That's CNN data analyst Harry Enton the day before the parade talking not about Trump's feelings, but his poll numbers.

You can see it right here.

We have two new polls: Quinnipiak University, AP Nork, minus 12 to minus 16.

How about AP Nork?

Minus 16 to minus 21.

Awful, awful, awful.

The worst for Donald Trump in this term so far.

He is very much way, way, way underwater, at least in these two polls.

Still not about media so far.

Now we're talking about Trump's poll numbers, which I just can't make the connection to the on the media podcast.

And on immigration specifically, a drop of six points in the last two weeks.

The only thing that's happened over the last two weeks is obviously Donald Trump's ramped up immigration hawkish agenda.

And at least at this particular point, the American people are saying, no, we do not like that.

And they have turned against the president on his core strength issue of immigration.

He is now underwater on the issue that has been strongest for him.

And the estimated five million that filled the streets of 2,000 towns and cities in opposition?

A historic number rallying under the banner No Kings.

I love how she just, her tone changes.

It's so amazing.

It was historic.

It's so great.

No kings.

Still not about media.

What a gut punch for a guy who cares so much about the numbers.

A gut punch.

But hey, now we got a war on, maybe.

And better still, it's far away.

We won't see that play out in our streets.

So the way is clear for the president to seize the narrative and make it his own once he figures out what that is.

And still not about media.

And then after this last minute, I'm like, okay, this is not going to be about media anymore but listen to this trouble is we have so much of our own violence right here right in our faces which is a little less susceptible to spin do you have the violence in your faces John have you seen the violence in your face I've seen no violence in my face uh for a decade but the stalwarts will go down trying if you're to believe MAGA the left is fundamentally more violent than the right when Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband husband were murdered last weekend and two others were shot.

Now we're going to talk about media.

Here's what Don Jr.

had to say about the shooter.

Everyone talks about Minnesota, but they don't talk about the guy.

Seems to be a leftist.

You walk into someplace and you see a bowl of fruit and from 20 feet away you go, that's fake.

That's Alex Jones, notorious for labeling the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, a hoax.

When it comes to murder, he prefers to doubt what he sees.

It looks real, but you just, your mind knows because it knows the look.

This thing smells of some type of sophisticated operation.

The accused shooter turned out to be a Trump supporter and a fan of Alex Jones' show Infowars.

What?

He was a fan of Infowars?

This is now we're talking media.

I had not heard this.

Studies have found that although political violence is on the rise overall,

the left goes in for property damage.

Murders are more the province of the right.

Yep.

The left destroys property.

The right kills people.

Is the message clear yet?

As Elon Musk learned by way of his own AI chat bot, Grok.

A user on X asked whether right-wing political violence or left-wing political violence is more prevalent in this country.

Grok unapologetically said right-wing political violence is way more prevalent.

Elon says major fail, as this is objectively false.

Grok is parroting legacy media, working on it.

But when challenged, Grok only quoted more studies and stuck to its guns.

I mean, no wonder people who listen to NPR that are customers of My Hair Girl are spun up and spun out.

This is bad.

Yeah, it's just pure propaganda.

Totally.

He was a Trump supporter and an Alex Jones listener.

Did he have boner pills in his back pocket?

How did they know that?

I found that.

Well, he came out and says Waltz hired him as a hitman.

Yeah, to kill Amy Klobuchar.

That's what he said.

That's a good bit.

He says that Waltz hired him to kill Amy Klobuchar because when Waltz is out as governor, he wants to run as senator and he wants that spot.

And then my thesis, which I wrote outlined in the newsletter, was that he killed this woman who was the head of the Senate or state senate or assembly, I think it was the Senate, that was very popular in Minnesota.

And she would have been the shoe-in for Amy Klobuchar if she had been assassinated.

So they had to make way for

Walls by doing this.

By killing both.

By killing both.

Yeah, by killing both.

Well, if that wasn't crazy enough, our very own

Democrat representative, Hank Johnson, took to his guitar this week.

I just have to play this.

Oh, I saw part of this.

I wish I'd clipped it.

Oh, this is fantastic.

This is the guy who thinks that islands can flip over.

Well, I was going to play that as my punchline, but I'll play it now then.

Yeah, my fear is that the whole island will

become so

overly populated that it will tip over and

capsize.

capsize.

That was

Representative Hank Johnson about Guam.

He's notorious for being one of the dumbest people in the world.

He thinks islands are floating.

Listen to this.

Just recently picked it up, thought I would try it out.

I hate to hurt your ears and everything, but I'm just learning to play guitar.

And so I'm compelled with a new guitar and with some thoughts about that old song, Hey Joe,

you know, to give some commentary on where we are now.

And if y'all don't mind, I'm going to just strum a little bit.

Hey, Trump.

Where you going with that gun in your hand?

Hey, Trump.

Where you going with that gun in your hand?

And you're complaining about our end of show mixes.

This is great.

Down the street, shoot down democracy.

You're going to shoot down democracy.

Oh, my goodness.

Why would you do that?

I mean, that's basically how I play guitar.

And you've never heard me play guitar on the show.

Not on the pre-show, nothing.

I'll play the theremin, but I will not play my guitar.

That was just, that was a head scratcher why he did that.

Was it people going, that's a great idea, man?

That's a great idea.

That's exactly what happened.

When you got a guy like that who's that dumb, he's actually, you know, I think

between him and the Hiromo woman, that woman from Hawaii,

when they're that dumb, you can talk them into stuff.

And I think people are just laughing up their sleeve.

His friends.

Hey.

His friends, so-called friends.

It's a great idea, Hank.

That'll show Trump.

Yeah, that'll show.

It was probably Collins.

Like, Collins, like, hey, man, you're great on that guitar.

You should play.

I do it all the time.

I do Puff the Magic Dragon.

You should do something from a black guy.

I know, Hendrix.

And then

just in

bad stuff that circles around on the stupid internet.

I don't know if you caught this meme that went viral.

So there's videos going viral of the U.S.

military being served steak and lobster all over social media.

If you're familiar with the military, you know about the steak and lobster.

Are we about to be in the middle of a conflict?

Take a look at this.

Lobster and steak.

Look.

I wasn't in the military, but I'm going by what people in the military in my family have told me.

Let's take a look at what it means.

Take a look right here from Google.

From Google.

He's reading from Google AI.

In that serving lobster and often steak, creating surf and turf to U.S.

troops, especially during deployments, is a known morale booster.

So the whole idea is they're going to send the troops into the Middle East because they're giving them the deployment meal.

This is it.

They said that it's surf and turf, except that this is like from February.

It's a very old video, and it just, these things keep coming back.

Viewed 9 million times.

The internet is so broken.

And the amount of people who just don't search anymore, they just ask the AI.

Yeah.

And that's all across the spectrum.

The amount of people who ask Grok, hey, Grok, tell me if this is true.

Yeah.

It's over.

Yeah,

it's exactly what's happening.

It's very, very distressing to me.

But the searches themselves have been failing anyway.

True.

True.

I mean, I still can't find the weed whacker.

That remains.

I found you the weed whacker.

You just didn't like the results.

You found me.

You just didn't like the results.

That's all that it was.

You don't like it.

And then the other thing this week was I don't have the clip.

I couldn't bring myself to clip it.

Whoopi Goldberg telling the Persian lady that black people have it worse than the black women have it worse than Iranian women in Iran.

Did you see that?

That was just like.

Everybody showed that so much.

I have the Bill Maher response to it with.

Oh, I didn't hear that.

Yeah, with Wesley Hunt.

He's a Texas representative,

a black guy.

And here's how that went down.

What did you think of Whoopi Goldberg saying

it's worse to be a black person in America today than a woman in Iran?

You know, I say we were talking about the trans issue before, and the New York Times really has come over on that to the sort of the sensible, liberal, not crazy woke position.

I think this is a great first step toward getting the Democrats back to sanity.

And a second good step would be: we got to do something about the view.

I really believe that.

I mean,

it's huge in Iran now.

When I mentioned the view in Iran, I always went with a head cover.

You can't even tell which one is which.

My district in the great state of Texas is actually a white majority district that President Trump would have won by 25 points.

As I said, I'm a direct descendant of a slave.

My great-great-grandfather was born on Rosedown Plantation.

I am literally being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character.

That's the progress because, like, a lot of white people had to vote for me.

A lot.

So I don't even ever want to hear Whoopi Gober's conversation about how it's worse to be black in America right now.

Some sanity.

People want to get rid of the view now, which will never

happen.

It'll never happen.

No, because now

it's become bulletproof unless the ratings all of a sudden take a huge dive.

Yeah.

I don't see that.

People love them.

So I think there's a dedicated group of people that love the show.

And then there's all the the people that follow it just so they can ridicule it.

There's no excuse for that type of activity.

Yeah, just going back to Chat GPT for a second, just because I saw this article I stuck in the show notes.

So MIT

did a, I'm not sure, I don't have the actual document, so I can only give you the summaries that I have.

They did

brain scans, so that would be MRIs, I guess.

No, what's the, what's the probably?

What's the one that the brain professor used to do?

It'd have to be MRIs.

Yeah, but it's CAT scan's the other one.

Yeah, that's

dangerous.

Yeah.

An MRI of people using chat GPT.

And so they studied people for four months.

Our findings offer an interesting glimpse in how LLM-assisted versus unassisted writing engage the brain differently.

In summary, writing an essay without assistance, brain-only group, led to stronger neural connectivity across all frequency bands measured, with particularly large increases in the theta and high alpha bands.

This indicates participants in the brain-only group had to heavily engage on their own cognitive resources.

So if you see the people who used AI to write essays, they couldn't even remember what was in the essay four minutes later.

And what's happening is that.

Yeah, of course.

Because you write something,

you're engaging your brain.

Yes.

Well, you're creating it out of nothing for starters.

Yes.

So by creating something out of nothing, which is what writing is,

as opposed to cut and paste, which is what AI amounts to.

Yes.

Yeah.

You would have a change in it, it would change the pattern a bit.

It changes people's critical thinking.

It changes all kinds of, it dumbs your brain.

It makes you stupid.

Artificial intelligence makes you stupid.

Hey, there's a bumper sticker.

Maybe that's the idea.

Trying to dumb down the public so they'll go along with some of these programs.

Well, it's working.

So we can steal their money, say the Democrats.

It's already working.

And then this one, now, I'm surprised that this isn't getting the play that I think they wanted it to get because it is a 100% marketing move.

This is the 16 billion passwords leaked from Apple, Facebook, Google, and others.

Did you hear about this?

No.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

No, actually, I saw it's one of those.

I saw

some reference to it, and I never followed up.

So, Forbes, this is Forbes, because, of course,

Davey Winder will publish anything, senior contributor.

He's a veteran cybersecurity writer, hacker, and analyst.

16 billion Apple, Facebook, Google, and other passwords leaked.

And it's like, oh, this is horrible.

This is a problem.

This is a big deal.

And so everywhere you turn, it all boils down to one thing.

And this analyst who I forget where he's from, maybe they mentioned the intro, he gives it away twice.

Researchers say billions of login details have been leaked, giving criminals access to accounts around the world.

The security firm Cyber News is warning that the data breaches affect Google, Apple, and Facebook.

Researchers say they amount to about 16 billion hacked credentials, which means many people affected are likely to have had their login details for more than one account leaked.

The report suggests that the data was stolen through multiple events over time and not just from a single hack.

Experts are advising people to change passwords and use multi-factor authorization.

Please help us out.

16 billion compromised credentials.

How bad is this leak?

Well, the good news is that this isn't really a new data breach.

As you mentioned before, this is a compilation of data that's been compiled over a very long period of time.

The bad news, of course, is that 16 billion credentials is quite a lot.

And what it really indicates is the success of a new form of malware that has been rising to prominence called the info stealer, which is capable of stealing hundreds of credentials all at once.

That's why the number has gotten quite so high.

I think over the span of time that this breach covers, it is very likely that you have changed your password, added two-factor authentication, ideally in the form of an authenticator code or even better, what's what's called a passkey.

Now, they are taking steps to make sure that this is less relevant in the future.

For example, if you sign up for a Microsoft account right now, you won't actually

create it with a password, you'll create it with something called a passkey.

Apple and Google and the other internet giants have also done a good job of trying to kill the password.

This is what it's about.

Microsoft has been pushing this passkey for quite a while now.

Google does the same thing.

You log in, like, oh, you know, why not not just get rid of your password?

Use a passkey.

Do you know anything about these passkeys?

No, it sounds like a version of a password.

Yeah, it's

they're annoying is what they're, it's like if you lose your passkey, then just

I need someone to help me out with this, but they're pushing this very hard.

And to me, it sounds like if you use a passkey, the only person really in charge of your credentials is the person who issued the passkey, i.e.

Microsoft and Google.

And then you have to go to them and say, oh, you know, I lost my passkey.

Can you?

Why is a passkey different than a password?

Well, the password, ultimately, you, if

so you can forget your password or you can lose your password.

Let's drop those two premises.

I'm not going to lose or forget my password.

How's it different than a password?

So a passkey, as I understand it, is issued by someone else.

Well, how's that different than what MCI Mail did in the early days before the internet and when you had a they gave you a password that they generated and you used it?

Yeah, but they so you don't know the password.

That's the thing.

Oh, you don't know the passkey?

No, you don't.

They they store it.

So, how do you how do you log in then?

I think it's it's like a certificate type deal.

So, you have this passkey thing Is it in a cookie or sitting in the file somewhere?

Where do you change machines?

Well, there's a good question.

All I hear from

my geek friends is, oh, passkey.

I hate them.

They suck.

So they must suck.

I'll have to look into it now.

Yeah, you need to write something on the Oasis.

I can write something up.

Don't use chat BTGPT because you become stupid.

And we need you smart.

We need you sharp for the show.

That was the eye-opener for me.

But that people are getting dumb.

Artificial intelligence.

I'm set.

Whoa, I'm shocked.

Artificial intelligence.

And the public is getting stupider by the minute.

And AI is making it worse.

Oh, no.

They finally found a trick.

How can we make people even stupider?

Even dumber.

We've tried the drugs.

The drugs, yeah, they become a little more susceptible.

We've already killed the school so nobody can leave and learn anything except gender

ideology that's that's dumbed them down enough that they're cutting their dick off

how can we make them dumber than that how can we make somebody dumber than that i know

i know let's give them artificial intelligence and that will make them human stupid it's fantastic they finally got to something This is the ultimate goal.

I think we finally figured it out.

That's it.

So that people will believe stuff like carbon budget.

Stark warning.

A new report from over 60 climate scientists showing the world may be running out of time for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.

I think it shows a pretty harsh reality, right?

You know, things aren't just getting worse.

They're getting worse faster.

We're actively moving in the wrong direction in a critical period of time that we would need to meet our most ambitious climate goals.

But some reports,

there's a silver lining.

I don't think there really is one in this one.

Scientists say we're on track to burn through the planet's remaining carbon budget much sooner than expected.

That budget represents the total amount of greenhouse gases we can emit and still have a 50-50 chance of keeping warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.

See, this is what we identified on the last show.

They have pivoted to this carbon budget, and it's 500 metric mega megatrillion tons, whatever it is.

And we're running out.

The budget is running.

So they've basically equated climate change with money.

And that's the point.

Back in 2021, the UN estimated that we can afford to release around 500 billion tons of carbon dioxide and still be on track.

But today, that figure has dropped to 130 billion tons.

By 2028, the world would have pumped out enough CO2 that even a 50% chance of staying within the Paris goal would be off the table.

Meanwhile, the impacts of climate change are already being seen

across the planet.

We are seeing the impacts of climate change on

extreme heat, we're seeing it on extreme rainfall, we're seeing it on sea level rise and storm surges if you're in a coastal area.

We're seeing it in wildfires.

And it is now no longer

possible to just say, oh, you know, this is just something that the scientists worry about.

It doesn't affect normal people.

It's affecting normal people and it's affecting them all over the world.

This affecting normal people

who write essays with Chad GPT.

You know, I'm looking at the quad screen and they're showing videos of the B2 rolling out of the hangar.

That thing looks dopey.

It looks dopey when it's coming out of the hangar.

It looks like an amphibious vehicle.

No, it doesn't look.

No, it's not.

It only looks good when it's flying.

Yeah.

It looks dynamite when it's flying.

It looks wobbly.

It looks like a Cessna rolling out of the hangar.

The flying wing.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it looks a little dopey.

The big

cabin on top.

All right.

I'll give you another minute here before we take a break.

If you want to.

You have to take a break?

What?

Yeah, we should.

We should.

I want to keep us on.

Do you get any donations after three o'clock?

Yeah, we got donations.

I saw it.

We got long, long

notes.

Well, there's a couple of things.

Roy McGovern was on, I thought it was funny.

Who's these?

Roy McGovern was on El Jazeera just before the bombing?

Who's this?

Oh, I'm sorry, Ray.

Ray McGovern.

Who's Ray McGovern?

CIA guy.

He's the ex-CIA guy.

He used to be on Democracy Now all the time.

He's been fucking right.

And he's an analogy.

His analysis.

Sorry, XA, with air quotes?

No, no, just

X-CIA.

He's X-CIA, real X-CIA.

Oh, sure.

But he's like, hasn't been in.

I don't think he's working for him.

I just don't think he's connected.

And

he gave a two-part analysis that was

wrong as could be.

But

I've been thinking there's

different clips I should go to.

He says we only have a little time.

I want to play my TikTok clips then.

Oh.

I'll play the Ray McGovern clips later.

Well, you kind of surprised me with that.

I wasn't sure.

Yeah, I know.

I changed into midstream.

All right, the highlight of the show, everybody.

Well, to me.

I mean, if AI's not going to get you, TikTok clips will.

Yep.

So there's this woman named Kylie who does just, she's just constantly, she's a teacher or something.

She's on the all the, she does it every day.

She has something to tell us, and they're all just junk.

And it's pathetic.

And she goes on and on.

She's so self-absorbed and self-assured.

Now she's going to give us a lecture on conservatives.

Hi, my name is Kylie, and here are four categories of conservative people.

I grew up around a lot of conservative people, so I've noticed there are four major patterns or types of people that fall into this category.

Number one, narcissists.

These are people that expect the world to revolve around them.

And when it doesn't, they become angry and start to scapegoat one of the many minorities that they do this to.

An example of someone notable would be Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

Number two, social misfits.

These are people that are honestly incredibly intelligent, but they were consistently bullied as children or just never really found community.

They've always been the weird one that no one likes.

And because of that, they begin to take it out on other people and promoting hateful ideas.

So think maybe like Ben Shapiro for this category.

Number three, ignorant people.

These are generally people who are apolitical and don't see color and they just don't care enough or don't know enough.

So they end up adopting the beliefs of their friends, family, and community.

And number four, last but not least, stupid people.

These are people who didn't go to college and just don't care about learning, generally speaking.

They coasted through school and they probably read it about like a fifth grade reading left.

They just don't have a very sophisticated knowledge of settler colonialism or racism or systemic issues that underlie our society, so they become susceptible to propaganda.

Peace and love,

peace and love, peace and love.

Judge Notching your kids.

No, I don't know if the are the kids watching this?

It seems like you are watching.

No, no, I'm talking about she's a professor.

She's a teacher.

Oh, she's a teacher.

I believe.

Oh, Kylie.

Well, she said, she's a teacher on TikTok.

Well, which brings us to the opposite end of the spectrum, a lady trucker trucker who,

and I think that

I guess Oklahoma just passed a law that said if you try to stop somebody's car, they can run you over.

And I think Florida has a similar law.

What do you mean, if you stop, you stop them over?

If you're in a situation, there's a bunch of protests and you're trying to get through someone and they surround your car and they're to stop it and they're pounding on your car, you can run them over.

Wow.

But that's only in like Florida and Oklahoma.

Every place

happening.

Texas needs to get on board.

Yeah, they do.

And

this woman who's a trucker with a Peter built,

she has a, or big,

some monster truck.

Big rig.

She's a tough chick, and she is, I think, expressing a view that a lot of people feel.

So I hear talk that there's a lot of people planning on doing protests out in the streets across the country soon.

I just want to tell you a little fun fact about truck drivers.

You see this thing behind me?

80,000 pounds.

It takes nearly two football fields to come to a complete stop when we're driving at interstate speed.

For us truck drivers out here, we're just trying to make a living.

We're just trying to pay our bills, support our families, and go home.

And I can tell you this, if you guys start standing out in the middle of the interstate, us truck drivers, we're not going to stop.

You see a truck driver by the name of Reginald Denny stopped once for a protest, rather it was more of a riot.

And he got pulled out of his truck and he got beaten to death.

A man that had a family to go home to who was just trying to do his job.

So, if you decide to stand in front of one of these on the interstate for your little protests, or whatever you want to call it, I call it domestic terrorism.

I guarantee you that truck driver that fears for their life is going to do whatever they have to do to get themselves out of that situation where they feel they're in danger.

And in that situation, the best thing for us to do is push that throttle to the floor.

Huh?

I don't think Reginald Denny died.

It was not good, but I don't think he died.

I don't know if he died or not.

I didn't look it up now.

No, no.

But using the Reginald Denny as the excuse for running people over is, I think, is going to be a commonplace.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hey,

there's something to running people over who are standing in the middle of the interstate trying to stop you from

moving.

This is not good.

None of this is good.

No, it's none of it's good.

You have to murder people to you have to run them, plow through them like they did.

There's that one one video going around where the person in the Toyota ran over some poor woman.

She was in the front, yelling and screaming.

It was like that other maniac that you talked about a couple of shows ago.

But she, she, the woman ran her over.

I mean, ended up knocking her to the side and didn't ran over her legs, which was an unpleasant experience.

You see the car bumping up and down.

I, uh, I actually have an educational TikTok clip that I wanted to share with you.

Oh, okay.

Hey, poacher.

Hey, hey, poacher.

I think you'll find this fascinating and informative.

I don't like the way straight women talk.

And I don't mean that in a bad way at all.

I've just noticed there is a huge difference between the way queer women and straight women talk.

For straight women, there's very much an expectation that you're dainty and small.

And so a lot of straight women will talk like this and raise their voice and talk really high.

Think of Sabrina Carpenter or Ariana Grande.

They have a tendency to raise the pitch of their voice to be seen as more feminine.

It's almost like a sorority voice or a customer service voice.

But queer women, because we date other women, we do not feel the need to do that.

The way queer women talk is more natural.

It's a little bit more raspy, usually more of a vocal fry.

That's one of the ways that I was able to tell that I was queer because speaking in that high-pitched tone felt very unnatural and very forced.

And to this day, that's how I'm able to pinpoint women that are queer, even if they haven't come out yet.

I see a lot of people talking about gay voice for men and how it's higher pitch, but not a lot of people talk about the inverse inverse of that, which is for queer women, which is like a lesbian voice that's deeper and raspier.

And that's why queer women are honestly seen as less friendly.

I could go on and on about this, but let me know what y'all think in the comments.

How about that?

The more you know.

I think it's bull crap.

Well, of course it's bull crap.

I found out I was queer because of my voice.

There's a couple of

literally said might have been a couple other people.

I found out she was queer.

Yeah, which is code now for lesbian.

That's a lesbian.

Which is code for someone.

I think the lesbian should get mad now.

Seriously.

By my, because of my voice.

No, but I mean,

the queer is stealing their lesbian.

Yes, I think so.

That's, oh, man.

Kara Swisher, where are you?

Way in on this.

She'd be on board with it.

She'd be on board with it.

Yeah, yeah.

Does she think she considers herself queer now?

Yeah, I'll bet you she does.

I'll have to tune in if I have two episodes backed up.

Well, I think that's a way to top it off to go into

the fabulous donations.

Well, and with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the waning crescent.

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

John C.

DeMorth.

Hey, in the morning to you, Mr.

Adam Curry.

In the morning, all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.

In the morning to the trolls over there in the trolls.

Roman accounts for some.

Don't run away.

Stop running.

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, it's amazing how no donations came in after three, but 2,869 trolls tuning into the live stream today.

That's epic.

Donate, people.

That's epic.

It's epic, I tell you.

Well, not really.

It's epic.

It's epic.

Hello, trolls.

For this year, yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

Trolls are in the troll room at troll room.

You know

what the high is, right?

Yeah, 4,000 or something.

Yep.

Over 4,000.

When was that?

What was the episode?

I wrote it down.

Whatever it was, we need that to happen again.

But the thing is, it doesn't result in donations.

4,038 was the number.

You don't know the episode or what the occasion was?

You'd think you'd want to correlate.

It must have been a Trump.

You know, I just wrote on a little stick-it thing and I didn't put the date.

It was about two years ago.

Hmm.

Anyway, the trolls can also use modern technology.

I didn't expect to be grilled about the details.

I don't know how many people are in Iran.

I'm not the no-agenda troll

expert.

Ted Cruz.

Ted.

Ted, Ted, Ted.

Good lawyer.

Dope otherwise.

Don't want to judge, but

so the trolls are making use, many of them, of modern technology created by independent software developers who make these modern podcast apps, which have many, many benefits.

You know, Spotify is now

using chapters, which is a podcasting 2.0

enhancement to podcasting.

No, I'm not sure.

I'm sorry, not chapters.

Big thank you to podcasting 2.8.

Transcripts, transcripts.

Not chapters, transcripts.

And no, of course they didn't.

And of course they do it a little bit differently.

So, you know, they bought Anchor,

a big free hosting company for, I don't know, way too much money.

And so they now create, so if you use Anchor and 2 million of the,

I think it's 1.8 million Anchor podcasts.

Most of those go like, most of them have one episode that go like this: test poop, test poop.

And that's the whole podcast.

I know, because we've got to get, we get rid of all those.

We have systems to check if that's all that it is.

Test poop, test poop.

Okay, very good.

So they actually create the transcript.

By the way, just

once you're complaining about stuff, what is these podcasts?

I think maybe I bitched about this before.

What is this podcast?

Podcast begins in five minutes.

4.59,

4.58, 4.50.

Well, who cares?

What?

Just cut that out.

What is the 10, 9, 8?

We're live.

We're live, everybody.

We're live.

We're live.

Okay, are we live?

Let me check.

I'll wait a few minutes for you people to get in here.

Let's make sure you get into the live.

There's another one.

Are you on the live?

Yeah, I'll wait for you guys to get into the live.

I'm just hearing you diddle around.

Here comes some more people.

I don't know.

I don't know what that's about.

With the modern podcast app, you just get an alert, boop, and then we're live.

And you tap on it, and we're live, and you're good to go.

In fact, I do it a little bit early.

I do it during the fat lady so that people can gear up.

You know, you sing along with the fat lady, and then you're good to go.

You know that we're live.

We don't need a countdown clock like we're waiting for lift off.

Countdown.

And it's always around the same time anyway.

So, yeah, that's a very good question.

I don't know.

It's overproduced nonsense.

It's people trying to be, they're trying to create tension and excitement and expectation to see two dudes with cans.

All right, we're live.

Are we live?

Yeah, we're live.

Okay, let me see.

Are we also live on the Insta?

Let's check the Insta.

Okay, we're live.

No, thank you.

No, because of course you can also get D-lived.

from those platforms.

Don't do it.

Don't do it, people.

Just get into modern podcasting.

Go to podcastapps.com.

For iOS users, Cast-O-Matic, which is made by Franco.

Franco is a doctor in Italy.

He works four days a week as a doctor,

saving lives.

And then one day a week, he programs and saves souls with podcasting.

And he creates the Cast-O-Matic.

He just put out a new version.

He's an admirable character.

He's a great guy.

We had him on the Podcasting 2.0 podcast on Friday.

He's a great guy.

He's so nice.

And I said, hey, is it when you're debugging software, is it the same way you debug humans?

And he said, if only humans had a log file, that would be much easier.

So he created Cast-O-Matic a while ago, and he just added all the live stuff with the notifications.

It is, I think, one of the best Apple iPhone podcast apps there is.

I don't have an iPhone, but I've seen it work, and it's very impressive.

It has a very iPhone feel to it.

So cast-o-matic.

You can get it from the App Store or go to podcastapps.com and see many more.

It's very, it's a very good product.

And when we go live, you'll get an alert right on time.

And then when we publish the show, unlike your legacy app, within 90 seconds, you'll know that the show is available.

Don't be like your granddad with an oh, granddad using Spotify.

Oh, I didn't even get to the Spotify part.

So, so they will create a podcasting 2.0 transcript.

So, if you publish with

Spotify hosting for podcasts or whatever they call it, and you use a modern podcast app, the transcript will show up.

However, our show,

which isn't on Spotify, but if our show was on Spotify, they don't accept the exact same technology from other hosting companies.

You have to go to Spotify and use their transcripts.

Well, that stinks.

It's stupid.

They think somehow that that's going to work for them?

They're losing users every day

with shenanigans like this.

It's baffling.

It's baffling what big technology companies will do sometimes.

I don't understand it.

Anyway, so Franco puts his heart, his soul, his time, his talent into...

into his app, and we're very appreciative that he does that.

And we have many producers who like to return value to this very podcast, which is a value for value podcast.

Go look it up: value4value.info, value number four, value.info.

If you want the full backstory on it, pioneered on this very podcast.

It's now a thing.

People just call everything value.

Oh, Patreon, value for value.

No, not.

We give you the full on experience for free.

Patreon is not value for value.

Value for value has to have a variable

donation

style, which we stumbled upon early on because because people, if you remember when we first started and started taking donations and reading all the people that donated, they always had these code numbers.

Yeah, numerology.

And they like to say, oh, yeah, I'm donating 666.

Ah, I'm the devil.

69, 69, dudes.

69, 69.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

You said it.

You said 69.

You said 69, man.

Yeah, there's a lot of Beavis and Butthead type stuff going on.

Yeah.

But besides that, we have the, I haven't gotten an Angigi donation in a while.

We have the upside down eggs or eggs over easy.

I mean, people like it.

They come up with stuff.

It sticks.

It becomes lore of the show.

But also.

Double Nickels on the Dime was for a couple of years one of the most popular donations.

Sergeant Fred started that Double Nickels on the Dime.

Yes.

So it's...

Yeah, it's

also so you can determine the value yourself.

We're not roping you into something.

Yeah, it's like, I think that this was a $12 show.

Okay.

I think this was a $120 show.

Good.

And that all depends on you, not on us.

We can't determine what the value is to you, but we do ask you to send some back.

That's all.

And you can do that with time, talent, or treasure.

We love it when people give us.

Even if you hate the show, you're getting something out of it.

Yeah, hate.

Hate.

It's a valid emotion.

It's valuable to some people.

We have artists who

are now prompt jockeys, most of them, with still some real artists around, but most of them have just fallen by the wayside.

AI has definitely killed art on this show.

There's no doubt about it, and I'm sad about it.

But

on the other hand, I'm happy because in a weird roundabout way, we have discovered the whole idea of the AI Music Awards, which

it was pre-show,

yeah.

Hold on a second, let me uh let me register that right away.

AI musicawards.com.

Tell me that isn't taken.

You think that's going to be taken?

Think someone already got that one?

Did you go away for some reason?

No, I'm here.

I'm waiting for you to find out.

Someone already has it.

Was it when did they do it?

Was it today?

I can't tell.

No, I don't think it was today.

No, oh man.

Yeah, we'll come up with an alternate that works.

Yeah, because we need a name like the Oscars.

It has to be, you know, like the dummies.

Maybe call it the dummy, the dummies.

I want to call it the dummies.

No, of course not.

Hey, guess what?

Newsflash.

It's never going to happen.

No, no, it's going to happen.

This is going to be never going to happen.

I can feel it.

If you don't get it going now, it's never going to happen.

AI music will happen.

And nothing will happen.

This is perfect, actually, because you've been expunged from the annals of MTV

for some reasons unknown to everybody except you.

And

because

you were smart enough to have signed up for MTV.com or something like that, or you got hooked about whatever it was.

They didn't like that.

And then they sued me, and I counter-sued them, and then we settled.

And then you were expunged.

And I'm expunged.

I'm dark.

Get out.

I'm out.

Get out.

I'm Emeritus.

VJ Emeritus.

They did a bunch of free musical shows where they had a lot of Satanism going on.

That was dynamite.

Good times.

So you're missing out on that.

Good times.

Yeah.

We should have a Satan award, too.

And a G-Status.

Oh, the most satanic AI song.

Oh, satanic AI song.

Gosh.

Most of them.

So our artists are always there trying to give us something that looks cool, funky, funny, interesting, grabs attention, or as my lovely wife Tina would say, oh,

oh, one of those again?

Like what?

Oh, because of the one we just did?

Yeah.

That you picked?

I did pick it.

I said it was the best one.

I thought it was.

You picked it.

I always get blamed for picking the cheesecake, but no, no.

This time I wasn't even for this one.

I don't know if I admitted it was me.

You weren't for it.

Yes, you were.

You said okay.

I did say okay after a while because all the other stuff was like you had an argument against everything except this piece.

Oh, okay.

So Darren O'Neal did the cheesecake, but what I liked was the USG Wants You because that was relevant to the show.

Right.

And

she looked like an American government issue.

Yeah.

It looks a bit like my wife.

You didn't bring that up.

She looks a bit like Tina, actually.

Oh, that's what it was.

Yeah, you said it looked like Tina, so you wanted to put Tina on the cover.

And that's right.

Thank you for remembering.

That's a good excuse that you just dreamed up to keep Tina off your back.

It's a good one.

It's a good bit.

But now that I'm looking at it, I'm like, oh, that does look a bit like Tina.

So that was Darren O'Neill's entry.

There were other entries which we discussed, and we're going to look at them right now.

I would say a tip of the hat for the climate protection from capitalist agenda.

But it was all way too small.

But he did a lot of really,

I mean, so it was a condom wrapper, and it had climate protection, no agenda, extra large, of course.

Curry curry divorce.

Actually, that was your first pick.

Yes, because it had warming sensations.

And I, what was my comment?

Too small.

Too small.

You couldn't read anything on there.

I know, but when you embiggen it, there's good, there's funny stuff in there.

It was humorous.

And then you wanted to also continue to scold Scaramanga.

You wanted Bill's kink room.

What?

Yeah.

The one with the cat and the young girl and then the torture bed with a drill and all kinds of stuff.

That's what you were looking at.

I'm like, what's wrong with you?

Bill's kink.

Yeah.

I don't know.

You're making that up.

No, I'm not.

You said I wasn't.

I liked Nick Durat's duty button.

Yeah, you busy.

You thought it was too busy.

Yeah, it was very busy.

I think I actually used that for.

And I also liked the peanut gallery from Darren O'Neal, but you didn't like that at all.

It was too AI.

Yeah.

I actually used it.

We ended up having to pick this one because it was relevant.

You know, you were jacked up about it, and I didn't see anything really wrong with it.

I actually used the duty button for the bat signals today.

And yeah, you like to get hopped up by Nessworks, which we were both like, eh, it was, I don't know.

And then you was a lot to choose from.

There was that one.

But all this stuff, luminance, has gone down by 20%.

Unbelievable.

You pay now by Digital 211 Man,

which is the joke that we use on the show.

It's just all just mud.

It's mud, man.

I mean, there's another one that I saw.

Yeah, there's one down for a Jip J, misspelled J-I-P

from again, Disrael211.

He should reset his system.

Another mud, it's just mud.

It's all brown.

It's all brown.

I'm telling you, it's no good.

No, at least Darren has got his reset because even though the USG1 shoe piece, the white background is not white.

No, it's not.

It's kind of a pinkish.

So, thank you to all of our artists for diligently prompting away.

And sorry, Edmia, I'm not going to let it destroy the end of show mixes, but it will be an exit strategy for us with the AI Music Awards, hosted by Adam Curry and John C.

Devork.

Now, here's your host, Nick the Rat.

So, we want to thank our producers.

This is the treasure portion of the Time Talent and Treasure.

And the idea is

we thank everybody, $50 and above.

But if you support us, which is just so appreciated, with $200 or more, we will give you a title and a real Hollywood title because we can do that.

And they are recognized and legit because you can go to imdb.com and use them.

And you can put it anywhere you want.

Call yourself an associate executive producer of the No Agenda Show.

And we'll read your notes.

Now, the notes are way too long.

So we're going to have to cut these down on the fly.

$300 or above, you become an executive producer for the episode, and we will read your note as well.

And so we have our old friend back at the top with 2606.

And that is the correct number.

We know it's code for something.

Something's getting blowed up somewhere.

Seronymas of Dog Patch and Lower Slobovia.

And he sent a note from Seronymas of Dog Patch and Lower Slobovia.

John's favorite type of donation letter, horizontal line, horizontal line, no jingles, no karma, enclosing Muslim funds to offset the Jewish shortfall.

I have to say this: Muslim money.

Muslim money.

He sent one bill,

a bunch of one dinar, two dinar bills from Oman.

Oh, real Muslim.

Real Muslims.

Oh, that's cool.

He sent actual Muslim money, Kuwait, Dubai.

He has like

a pile of about seven bills from all the Arab states.

Did he have one from Oman?

I'm pretty sure there's an Omani bill in there, yeah.

He might be a negotiator.

He might be.

All I know is that you don't get these bills unless you go there.

And so

he's

and

they're used.

It's not like a bunch of new money.

I mean, it would have been nicer if they were better quality bills like

his hundos, most of them are brand new, right from the U.S.

government.

Right from the Fed.

Right from the pallet.

Right off the pallet.

That's where the pallet money went.

I got it.

Pallet money.

Either that or

Saddam Hussein's piles that were found by the army.

I love this.

We don't know where this is coming from, but I got a kick out of all these bills, and I'd never seen a lot of these because I've been to the Middle East, but I haven't been to every country in the Middle East, and I've never actually been in Saudi Arabia.

So

I thought that was cute.

Nice touch.

It was real Muslim money.

Nice touch.

Thank you very much, Sironymus of Dog Patch and Lower Slobovia.

One of our biggest, longest-standing patrons, and we appreciate you very much for that.

Definitely.

Okay.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I hate to tell you.

No,

I'm off.

Why do I, you know, you need to fix your stuff.

I don't need to fix anything.

I love doing this.

I love my truck and I love what I do.

I can make it work.

It's from

Clear Oakey.

I just have to click on these boxes in Bakersfield.

And he came in, Bakersfield, California, and he came in with an even thousand bucks.

He writes, My company has been working on the California HS High-Speed Rail in the Central Valley

since around 2016.

How long does it take?

And it was already going since 2009, wasn't it?

This is a scam of scams.

When we did a meetup years ago, almost 10 years ago in Sacramento, there was a high-speed rail guy there, and he says the whole thing is just based on who can buy the property ahead of where they're going to put the tracks, and then they scam the state.

The whole thing's a job.

It's a job domain, all of that.

I don't think the project is feasible in general, he writes and the way they're managing the construction is preposterous i vote against the project every time i get the chance when the project comes up in a conversation the other person usually says wow are they still working on that

which i just did and they ask how i could be part of it to which i respond if my company doesn't work on it a company from l A or San Francisco will come in, steal my employees and work on it anyway.

So I just take the money and keep it local.

Wow.

However,

it looks like the gravy train may have been derailed, puns intended with the audit by the USDOT.

A notice from USDOT, Department of Transportation, the California High-Speed Rail Authority, CHSRA, for you out there following the acronyms,

dated to 2025

recent, that CHSRA must proceed at its own risk

because if a violation of the Dot Shizra agreement is found during the audit, cost reimbursement will be retroactive.

So, in other words, you're going to have to return the money, even if you spent it.

The project is routinely four to six months behind on their payments to us, to a subcontractor.

So, I'm going to be making some calls to our prime and probably our local state representative to see if my company may be left holding the bag for six months of

payroll if the plug is pulled.

Oh, no.

This could come up as a piece of leverage in the brewing Trump Newsome rivalry.

Oh, that's the more you know, right there.

And then he has a couple of newspaper articles that they link to, which I didn't read.

And

then the last line you're going to have, it says link to the audit and correspondency page 305, blah, blah, blah.

And there may be something after that, but that I can't get to.

Oh, he says.

No, I can get to it.

I can get to it.

That's it.

He just has another link.

And he says, if you'd like more on this, I'm happy to provide.

Trains good, planes bad.

Clear, Okie.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

Listen to that horn.

By the way, I was talking to a guy this morning who was an electrical contractor, you know, and I say, hey, how's business?

He says, he's dead, Jim.

He says,

nothing is being built in Fredericksburg, which is kind of crazy.

He says all the big electrical contractors, they're laying people off left and right.

And Boot Ranch, now Boot Ranch is about 15 minutes away.

That's where the real, this mega homes are.

There's 18 homes for sale between $5 and $12 million.

So no one's building out there either.

Something is up.

And I said, well, what's going on?

He says, I don't know.

He says

the banks won't lend a commercial,

no more commercial loans.

He said, that's part of it.

I don't know what that means.

It doesn't sound good.

Yeah.

A little bit of tip.

Give that to Horowitz so you can buy some calls.

We go to Eric Tolbert.

Or putz.

Putz, maybe.

He's in Topeka, Kansas.

$1,000.

Hello, gentlemen.

Please find and close my donation of $1,000 to cover my PhD in media deconstruction, my Instant Knight, and my executive producer credit for SO 1775 on Sunday, June 22nd.

Please also include me on the birthday list.

My birthday is June 21st, 1963.

My Ph.D.

will be in the name of Eric James Tolbert.

My birthday is June 21st.

Please bestow the name, sir, not appearing in this film for my knighthood.

For jingles, I'm sorry, I missed that.

I would like an Al Sharpton.

And he says, My favorite is Resist We Much.

Well, we can obviously do that for you.

And

please acknowledge my better half.

Dame Bessie the T is silent if possible.

Her name is often mistaken for Betsy, hence the joke.

We realize at her daming that in print it wasn't as funny, although you take the T out of the front and back of our name was hilarious.

Okay.

Did we do that?

Probably.

Thank you for all you do, he says.

Eric, and he also wants an F Karma, so we will do that for you.

And we'll see you later on at the Knight and Dame Roundtable.

But resist, we much,

we must, and we will much

about

that be committed.

You've got karma,

huh?

Arch Duchess Kim, keeper of the nutty fluffers parts unknown, came with 500 bucks.

And she wrote a note that is

a little piece of paper.

You can hear?

I can hear it.

ITM, Adam and John, jingle, screw your freedom, little girl, yay, and F22 Karma.

Switcheroo, it says Sitcheroo,

but I think she means Switcheroo for my dad, Night John, protector of the pocket protectors and keeper of his 15 grandchildren.

Wow.

Happy birthday and Father's Day, Dad.

You are amazing.

What do you get a dad that has everything?

You get him a producer credit on the best podcast in the universe.

Now you're talking.

Thank you for all that you have done for us.

Love you, dad.

You're a good daughter.

Not the good daughter.

Your good daughter.

The good one.

Archduchess Kim, keeper of the nutty fluffers.

Screw your freedom.

Yay!

You've got

karma.

And very nice signature, by the way.

She's very nice handwriting, too.

Although it wasn't handwritten, it was just signature.

Caucho Woodworking comes in with $350.93 from Redondo Beach, California.

Thank you for your courage.

I hope John received my premium banquet board.

Yes.

Yes, I got it.

It's dynamite.

A premium banquet board?

How big is the banquet board?

It's not that really that big.

It's not like, unless I'm mistaken, it's about two and a half feet by two and a half feet, something like that.

Well, that's a size, a good size.

You can put some cheese on there.

The correct website is gaucho woodandcraft.com.

Gaucho Woodandcraft.com.

Ah, it was a correct information.

Yes.

And thank you very much.

I said gaucho woodworking, I think.

Yeah, I did.

And thank you very much,

gaucho woodworking.

Oh, here's the note I was talking about.

You need to read this.

You want to read it?

Nope.

It's from Dame Kicking and Screaming.

Parts unknown.

Don't know where she's from.

The very top of this note seems to.

Oh, there it is.

Okay.

I popped it open.

God.

Dear.

Oh, this is so long.

Well,

you can get that.

Dear Adam and John, here's a donation made from my dirty drug dollars in order to cleanse the possible curse on the money.

Oh, nice.

That's good.

Yeah.

On a road trip as a mule from South Mexico to Waco, Texas last week, I was inspected by U.S.

Customs while waiting for them to go through the cargo, mainly personal stuff and some used chiropractic heavy devices.

I saw the sniffer dog coming out.

I was sure he was going to be done in two minutes, not finding anything.

To my surprise, he sat down, which is what they do.

And before I knew it, it was happening, I heard the dreaded,

ma'am, can you turn around and put your hands on your back?

Wow.

Followed by the distinct click-click of handcuffs.

I was detained and strip searched in a cell soon after.

In shock, I was wondering who was going to feed my cat for the next 20 years.

By the way, the

Bob's guy came in with a wad of money and asked, What is this?

Not to be smart, but generally answering honestly, uh, money.

That was not received well.

A supervisor joined and triumphantly smirked, we found the money.

Now it's a matter of time before we find the drugs.

Unquote.

I died right there and then.

The mooney was the mooniest.

The money was counted, and as I assessed before, it was less than $10,000.

He wanted to give it to me, but I refused for fear of accepting responsibility for other things they would find.

According to the supervisor, it was already too late.

Everything found in the car was my responsibility.

The car is owned by an 80-year-old American chiropractor living in Mexico who has bought the Ford Transit secondhand.

A few years later, I was uncuffed.

A few years.

A few hours later, I was uncuffed.

and led through a hallway when one officer turned around, handed me my shoelaces back, and mumbled, you're released.

My niece buckled from relief.

I was still clear enough to ask what would happen with the money.

They couldn't confiscate it, they said, so I asked for it.

They handed me the money, and I was now brought back to my car that had exploded by the looks of it.

Oh, they dug it.

They just basically tore it apart.

Everything was unpacked outside and strewn around only for me to put back.

Every panel was open, and it was a mess.

No explanation was given.

You know what, you know, just to stop there, note for a second.

The dog lied.

Well, the dog, this is a car in Mexico, it was a used car.

Ford transit, a Ford Transit.

Hello.

Somebody had used the car for drug transit and just some random dust was left, which the dog spotted and did his job.

Yeah, that makes nothing but sense.

No explanation was given about the whole situation.

No report, no rapport, no human interaction.

In order to clean the karma mat might be on the dirty drugs dollars, I decided to donate a big portion of it to various people.

No agenda was on the top of my list.

I had to keep it short.

Keep it short.

But so many things happened.

Sorry, John.

Sad, smiley face.

Thank you for your courage in four more years.

Dame kicking and screaming.

Thank you for keeping it short.

Well, that's a good story, at least.

That's a good story, yes.

And it ended well, and thank you for sharing that dirty drug money with us.

Tom Onymus is in Emaeus in Pennsylvania, and he donated, probably to just let us know, it's pronounced Emaeus.

We said Emous, Emous, Emouse, Emou.

Emouse.

Emouse.

Emaus.

Yes.

31533.

Big thanks to all the Noah Genda producers.

Even bigger thanks, Adam and John, for making the best podcast in the universe stronger than ever.

Dvorak is right.

But first, a a doucheball douchebag call out for Greg the Welder.

Douchebag.

He knows who he is, but Dvorak is right.

Rotten Tomatoes has been corrupted and

has been a no-good movie rater for years now.

They pay critics to juice scores.

You have to wait two months to see where a movie really lands, which makes it useless.

And they've destroyed decent, honest movie reviews like we had back in the day.

It's a psyop.

Fortunately, there's a value-for-value option out there, so if you'd like to consider thoughtful movie reviews, check out the Daily Ratings podcast.

It's a podcast.

Or stop by thedailyratings.com to see the 2,000 movie reviews and counting.

You may not always agree with us, but we're pretty consistent since all the scores come from one guy, Vincent Daly.

Hence the name Daily Ratings.

We even have a couple of great scores for Dana, creator of the tip of the day Brunetti.

Love and light.

And best price, says Tom Onymis.

Thank you, Tom.

That's definitely a tip.

Sir Christopher in Elrod, Alabama, $233.99.

Switcheroo!

I dedicate this row of ducks plus fees.

So $233.99.

Okay.

The row of ducks, really.

To Kim, another Kim with no last name.

Was this in the last show?

No, it seems the same, but I don't think it is because

you're right.

Because it's his wife.

It says wife.

The other Kim was just some rando Kim.

Yeah, yeah, rando.

Yeah, this is for Kim, his wife, so it's Kim Christopher, I am assuming.

Christopher could be the first name.

Never mind.

I'm just using Kim.

I don't want to get into it.

June 23rd, a nice medley of Sharpton, if you don't mind.

Thank you, Sir Christopher Knight of the Sipsi Valley.

Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.

But resist.

Oh, here we go.

We must.

I didn't even know that was.

We must and we will much

about

that be committed.

Beautiful, Al.

Joining me now.

There you go for Kim.

Noted.

Anonymous is in

much.

Anonymous is in Seust.

In Deutschland, apparently.

Row of ducks from Anonymous, 222.22.

Thank you very much.

Associate Executive Producership for Anonymous.

Yeah, nice.

Well, you also have 222.22

from Sir PBR.

Street Gang.

IT, I'm John and Adam.

Please find the enclosed check for 222.22.

Thank you for your courage.

My wife, Dame Trinity, reminded me that we sponsor a local Christian radio station for her birthday, and

it's listener supported.

And they run no advertisements, and neither does no agenda.

So please add Dame Trinity to the birthday list.

I'm not, you know,

I'll double-check, but I think

to the birthday list for June 28th, we both pray for John's return to the Catholic Church

and for Adam's continued walk with Jesus.

Amen.

Jingles Boogity Boogity, which is a jingle I don't like.

That's true,

Signs or PBR, Pap's Blue Ribbon, by the way, that's what it stands for,

which is odd.

That's true.

Anyway, Sir Paps PBR

street gang, which I don't get either.

I didn't know you didn't like the Boogity Jingle.

You've never mentioned that before.

No, at the very beginning when we started playing it, we banned it.

We did?

Oh, brother.

That's true.

I have no problem with it.

I have no problem.

Yeah.

And silly.

Okay.

Brian George in Yorkville, Illinois, 210 and 60 cents.

Sir Pew Pew Ding Ding.

It's been a while since donating, but I could use some help with bringing a child into the country.

My in-laws have lived in Thailand for 30 years, adopted a boy, and are getting the runaround.

Ah, email me and I will send you the details of my most excellent immigration lawyer who was extremely good at this.

So I'd be happy to help you out.

Can I get a Scott Simon?

Love y'all.

Suffering Succotash.

I'm Scott.

Simon.

I love that one.

Mitchell,

the tint guy in Dallas, Texas.

A new one.

A tint guy.

A tint guy.

The footage out of California feels like a rerun from 2020.

Peaceful protests.

Up front, but behind the sheep with the signs and megaphones, it's looters and backpacks and bricks.

And the common demonstrator, the common denominator in every clip, which is the looters enter through the gate

glasses, the weak link at Coolview of McKinney, Texas.

We install retrofit security systems that hold glass together under assault, giving your home or business a fighting chance.

Check us out at, which reminds me of a story I'll mention.

Check us out at coolview.com.

McKinney mentioned no agenda and get 20% off professionally installed window film or security film.

ITM, Mitchell the Tint Guy.

So interesting.

So I, it, when I was

C-O-O-L-V-U,

coolview.com.

C-O-L-V-U.

Yes.

Yeah.

So I'm I was up in

Seattle once and I was at an architect's office for getting a barbecue set designed or something.

Some guy was a fan of mine.

And

he just so happened to be working on the Bill Gates house at the time,

which was on the water

on Lake Washington.

And he said they had to

there's a it's like a big front a bunch of glass windows and it was huge windows.

And he said they had to replace them with he said, they had to replace all the windows of the Gates mansion with bulletproof glass

because fishermen and other jokers would be just cruising down the river.

And they say, hey, that's Bill Gates' house.

And they'd take pot shots at it.

No.

Yeah.

The whole, the house is riveted with bullets.

Wow.

And they'd bust the glass and they'd zoom off on their boat.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

That's wild.

An untold story.

I actually, bonus clip, bonus clip, since we had Mitchell the tint guy from Dallas, Texas talking about the protests, I thought what J.D.

Vance did in Los Angeles was hilarious.

Did you follow that at all

when he spoke about Padilla?

About Jose?

Yeah.

And the reason I'm here is I just wanted to hear from the law enforcement officials themselves, the state officials, the local officials, but also the federal officials, what's actually going on here on the ground.

I think there's some good news, and the good news is the rioting has gotten a lot better.

But the bad news is, as I heard from everybody, unfortunately, the soldiers and Marines are still very much a necessary part of what's going on here because they're worried that it's going to flare back up.

Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't the theater.

And so that was, I mean, he said there wasn't a theater.

That was going to be his big punchline.

So I can only presume that he really did think the guy's name is Jose Padilla.

What is his real first name?

Alex.

And so this was the retort from LA Mayor Karen Bass.

Mr.

Vice President, how dare you?

You don't know his name, but yet you served with him before you were vice president, and you continue to serve with him today because the last time I checked, the vice president of the United States is the president of the U.S.

Senate you serve with him today and how dare you disrespect him and call him Jose but I guess he just looked like anybody to you well he's not just anybody to us he is our senator

an arrogant woman that's hilarious you be just like the AI version did you see the AI version of Vance going off no I didn't I didn't

I should have clipped it it was he's it in fact I would have but I

didn't yeah He says, I don't know if you call him Jose or Rodrigo.

And he goes on and on with a bunch of these diminutive names.

It's still full of crap.

You know, he goes on.

Oh, man.

Linda Lou Patkin winds us out as our final associate executive producer.

She is in Lakewood, Colorado, and she wants jobs karma and adds to that, do you need a resume that tells your story, highlights your wins, and shows why you're unique?

Visit imagemakersinc.com for a resume that gets results.

That's ImageMakers Inc.

with a K.

And work with Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You thought

well, there you go.

Our executive and associate executive producers gets real short after that, which is interesting.

That's because it all got cut off at 3.15.

Maybe we got bounced, man.

Maybe PayPal jacked us.

Have you tried donations?

Well, the number of people that normally come in late didn't come in at all.

You know, the system could have been down.

There could have been a million reasons for this.

Well, I hope that's it.

You never know.

You've gotten donations since.

Oh, okay.

Well, then good.

So I think

that would really suck, John.

That would really suck.

That would suck some big time.

Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers.

We got PhDs to celebrate later.

We have One Night, One Dame.

We're very, very appreciative of the value you have returned, particularly these bigger donors.

But we love everybody who supports us, no matter what it is, no matter what amount.

You can make that up yourself by going to noagendadonations.com.

You can even set up a recurring donation where you can do any amount and any frequency you want.

Please do that.

Support your No Agenda show.

And again, thank you to these executive and associate executive producers.

Our formula is this:

we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

Shut up, sleep.

Shut up, sleep.

Shut up, sleep.

You know, that I'm looking.

Yeah, the donations are back on track, but

that may account for this weird.

I got a call from Jay this morning.

This

This weird note came in

from

Tom Blowers in Brownsville

about his, you know, his donation for my key.

I'll read the note because you're going to have to read it in the next segment.

I'll read it now.

Okay.

This donation is from my keeper, Shelly, Switcheroo.

Also, I'd like to commemorate to our son Colby, who is the one who hit us in the mouth.

has mentioned the show back in early 2023, not sure, but the episode, Colby on 6, 19, 23, succumbed to his demons and unfortunately not with us anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And he's so missed.

So, my message here is: if someone out there needs help, please contact the

suicide hotline.

You're not alone.

You're loved and are important to everybody.

We, however, continue to be great fans of the best podcast in the universe.

Help us maintain our sanity while traveling the great country.

With this donation, Shelly becomes the dame.

Now, this is going to get bumped to Thursday.

Oh, okay.

Because the donation, I think I got caught up.

No, no, no, no.

I think I have that one.

I have, yeah, I have Shelly.

Yes.

Oh, she's on the list?

Yep, she's on the list.

Okay, Jay put her on the list then.

Yeah.

But she, we have to be careful.

But this donation, I'm pretty sure, and I would say Gigawatt Coffee, too, because he always, he's always the last donation,

got bumped through the, whatever happened.

I don't know what it was.

A glitch.

They come through eventually.

It was a glitch.

Yes, exactly.

It was a glitch.

Glitch.

Obviously, a glitch.

Hey, I have some underreported news, which I thought to be quite interesting, and here it is.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda are set to sign a peace agreement.

The deal was brokered by the United States and is set to be signed on the 27th of June.

The provisional agreement announced by the U.S.

State Department covers issues including disarmament, the integration of non-state armed groups, and the return of refugees and internally displaced people in Eastern DRC.

Eastern DRC has been gripped by a violent conflict spanning back decades.

Several armed groups are competing for access to precious natural resources, including gold, copper, cobalt, and lithium.

Congo has accused its neighbor Rwanda of backing one of the largest groups in the conflict, known as the M23.

The UN estimates that 4,000 of the group's fighters are troops from Rwanda, though Kigali has strongly rejected those allegations.

M23 is one of approximately 100 armed groups involved in the conflict vying for control in the region.

Congo and Rwanda are not formally at war and in the past have held peace talks aimed at resolving disputes in eastern DRC.

Angola stepped down in March as mediator between the two countries after several attempts at brokering peace.

Other nations like Qatar also attempted to mediate the conflict in the past with no success.

Well, how about that?

We did a good one.

We did a good one.

We did a good one.

That's from Euronews.

I'd not get it.

There's stuff that is going on that we aren't paying attention to because we're not being told by anybody.

I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the day for coming up with that one.

Oh, well, thank you.

And I actually have an extension to that borderline clip of the day.

Because the way I saw it, it's like, okay, so we kicked China out because clearly China was in there for the cobalt and the gold and the minerals

and all that stuff.

And then this comes across the transom.

A regulatory agency announced Saturday that the Democratic Republic of Congo has extended its ban on cobalt exports for three more months, a measure aimed at curbing oversupply of the key material for electric vehicle batteries.

The world's largest supplier of cobalt, the country had imposed a four-month export ban in February after price hit a nine-year low of just ten dollars per pound.

The ban was originally set to end this Sunday.

The regulatory body plans to announce a further decision to modify, extend, or lift the suspension before the end of this new three-month period, which will conclude in September.

Reuters reported on Friday that Congolese authorities were considering extending the ban as they review the allocation of cobalt export quarters.

Several industry players, including Glenco, the world's second-largest cobalt producer, support a proposal to introduce these quarters.

So here's how I'm thinking the deal went.

All right, listen, guys, we're going to broker a peace deal here.

We'll make sure that no more fighting breaks out.

But you know what?

We're going to make you guys a little richer.

So why don't you extend that ban on exports to China?

I think this is a China play.

Like, yeah,

don't give them any coins.

I do too, but it's like, it's funny that every analysis you've had for the last

few months.

Everything I have,

China, China.

Yeah,

China.

China.

China.

China.

China.

Okay.

This I picked up on

What is it?

It's on NTD, actually.

British Thought Leaders.

You have American.

It's a great show.

Yeah, it's a very good show.

You have American.

It's one of the best interviews.

I try to clip it once in a while, but it's

hard.

It's a long story.

It's hard to clip for some reason?

Well, the problem is it's not, you know, I clip my NTD stuff from the computer and from the internet feeds because I can't get it on TV.

I mean, I get it on TV, but it's on over the air.

They don't have it on the Google, and so I can't record anything.

And so I have to scrounge around to get stuff.

Yeah.

So they had on British journalist Lewis Brackpool.

And the reason I clip this is because of EastEnders.

EastEnders is a daily soap that has been running in the UK for, I think, 50 years.

Been running forever.

And And when I lived there, we lived there for five years.

I got into it.

You know, and it's just, you know, it was funny.

British culture.

I got into

General Hospital or Days of, I think, Days of Our Lives is sometime in the 70s

when I was working in a swing shift or something.

It's like you watched daytime TV.

I watched it a couple of times.

And next thing you know, for months on end, I was watching the stupid show.

And you were rooting for Susan Lucci to finally win.

I am.

Well, Susan Lucci, which show was she on?

I can't remember.

I think was she on Another World, maybe?

Oh, I don't know.

There's about five of these things.

They were actually pretty well structured.

So

here's what he did.

He came across, I guess, someone mentioned it to him.

And well,

he did some journalistic work.

Here's the setup.

I put in a request to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to ask whether the government from 2020 to now to present

was involved in any collaborations with the government and TV

companies, producers, script writers that may embed government messaging through fictional television programs.

And this was off a back of a conversation again with a friend.

And he, I don't know why, he watches EastEnders.

It's not my cup of tea, but you know, a lot of people do watch it.

Millions watch it across the country, so I'm not judging.

He was watching it, and during one of the storylines one of the characters mentioned climate intervention and specifically geoengineering, which was bizarre for an EastEnder's storyline.

Like, it was very, you know, sore thumb.

And we were talking about it and I said, oh, do you know that

there's a lot of evidence to show that the government are involved in script writing for fictional television programmes because it's broadcast to millions of people across the UK?

And he said, well, that wouldn't surprise me.

I went went to check articles to back up what I was saying, and I couldn't find any.

So I thought, okay, this is a perfect time to put in the request.

And here's the response he got back from the government.

And their response: they've delayed my request for another 20 working days

because they've cited an exemption which

basically says it could affect the public affairs, meaning disclosure of this information

could affect

their messaging number one it could affect media backlash if they come out and say actually yes we we do actually hold this particular information but certain things we have to

basically

exempt from the public to see in case the public are riled up and upset about what is being pushed via messaging.

So they have confirmed that they hold the data.

There's no question about that.

It's a case of what and what particular narratives are they pushing.

You know, we, of course, know that this happens in the United States through the Norman Lear Hollywood Foundation.

Absolutely.

And I think it's a good idea.

People should be putting in freedom of information requests to all of their European governments.

You should get into this

because I bet it's rampant everywhere.

It's probably the problem with the problem with doing that here is that we use cutouts so well.

Like the Lear Foundation.

I mean, if they're the ones that are helping these script writers put crap into the scripts that propagandize the public, you can send the Freedom Information Act to anybody you want, and you're not going to get anywhere because they're, oh, no,

we've heard of them, and the USAID sends them some money on the side, but we don't know what to use it for.

No, it's not going to work.

Okay, good point.

Well, I mean, we do know it's not like it's a big secret because the Lear Foundation themselves come out and say it.

They do.

They used to.

I mean, now Norman Lear's dead, it's hard to say what.

Well, let's talk about the auto pen.

There was a funny guy that came out and gave testimony before Congress, and it was recorded.

This guy's name is, I think I have it on this clip name, Theodore Wald.

They put a group together to investigate the use of the auto pen in the Biden administration.

I thought these two clips were worthwhile.

Traditionally, the President takes positive actions and authenticates those actions through his signature.

His signature is required for the most significant actions he may undertake, to sign an executive order, to take any action invested in him by the Constitution, as in granting a pardon, and to take the most important action of all, to sign a bill into law.

In all these cases, the President's signature is itself the protection of democratic principle.

When the President signs, he communicates his assent and endorsement of the action he takes.

The auto pin is a device that signs the president's signature to a document.

The Oversight Project, of which I am a board member, has discovered that the Biden White House deployed an auto pin to affix President Biden's signature to pardons, prison commutations, executive orders, and presidential proclamations.

The Oversight Project's research has found that the Biden White House first deployed the auto pen to affix President Biden's signature to a proclamation on day five of his administration, and that there were at least three different auto pen signatures in use throughout President Biden's tenure in the White House.

In June 2022, the Biden White House began deploying the AutoPen to sign clemency warrants and executive orders.

Auto pen use skyrocketed from there.

We found that of the 51 clemency warrants issued during the Biden presidency, over half, 32 in total, were signed with an auto pen.

And these include some of the most controversial acts of clemency of the Biden presidency, including death row commutations and the preemptive pardons of members of the Biden family, Dr.

Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and more that were issued in the final days of the Biden presidency.

Finally, we found multiple days where President Biden wet-signed a bill into law, but used an auto pin to issue an executive order or for other important executive actions.

The Biden White House's widespread use of an auto pen to affix President Biden's signatures to documents that exercise executive powers belonging solely to the president poses significant constitutional, legal, and practical considerations.

Hmm, this guy's with the Claremont Institute?

Yeah, I think so.

What do they do?

Sounds like so.

Oh, they're a think change.

Sounds like they're doing something for the president, some work for the president.

This is all body punches

to soften everybody up for the fact they're going to pull a plug on a lot of stuff Biden did because they can prove that Biden had nothing to do with it.

And they've got a lot of, they're getting documentation to show that maybe Biden didn't do any of this.

He did something, but he didn't do everything.

He drooled, sadly.

He drooled a lot.

So here's the finish of

this little

testimony.

Once the president's signature is copied and loaded into the auto pin, the machine can sign documents as the president himself would.

To be blunt, by using the auto pin, anyone can sign documents as the president himself.

Now, to be clear, I'm not here today to suggest that the auto pin is bad.

It's just technology.

I'm here today because of questions concerning President Biden's capacity and whether the auto pen was used to usurp presidential power or to conceal the president's decline.

As the sitting president's mental acuity declined, potentially to the point of incapacitation, his administration's expansion of the powers of the presidency raises more questions than answers.

Any investigation into this matter should focus not only on whether President Biden directed or authorized subordinate staff to take action in certain instances, but whether he had the capacity to do so at all.

The 25th Amendment lays out clear procedures for what to do when the President is incapacitated.

It was carefully drafted and informed by our nation's history.

The Biden administration ignored it all to aggrandize executive power and push the country further in their preferred ideological direction.

It is our obligation at this point to get to the bottom of these issues and to ask the important question as to whether or not the auto pin and other devices were used to cover and obscure President Biden's mental decline, undermining our national security and also the Constitution.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify this morning.

Yeah,

yeah.

So, can you?

I guess the question is:

can you

hold someone

accountable, is that the word I'm looking for,

For not adhering to the 25th Amendment?

Or is that something you just invoke?

I don't think they have a prayer of doing anything like that.

But what they,

I mean, that's an interesting case, but I think what they're going to try, I think the best they're going to do from all this is pull the plug on a bunch of these pardons.

I think that's as far as they're going to be able to get.

Because,

like he said, there's no evidence that, because they look in the record and there's no evidence that Biden wanted to pardon half of these people.

He never mentions it anyway.

Well, they mentioned specifically Fauci and Milley, and

that's the shot across the bow right there.

Yeah,

definitely.

Hey, did you?

I see you had something.

Oh, by the way, nothing's going to come of it.

No, of course not.

Put it in the Epstein file, bitch.

It's like, what's his name?

What's that?

Comer.

It's like James Comer's various investigations.

He talks a big game.

Oh, good.

Nothing has has that guy

ever come of any of it.

Did you have an article?

Did you say something not too long ago about China,

the smuggling in fungus?

Was that a clip of that?

We talked about the fungus and the

couple shows ago.

Yeah, someone bringing in.

Do we have a clip of that?

Someone was bringing in a fungus.

Someone got arrested.

Yeah, they're bringing in some horrible fungus

that can kill wheat.

So wheat is really targeted.

It also makes people sick if you get

an infection with it.

Well, listen to this.

A lethal fungus that can rot human tissue from within

is spreading.

I think that's the same fungus, to be honest about it.

It's spreading rapidly across the U.S.

And this is from the Daily Mail, so take that with a grain of salt.

And experts warned the problem could worsen as temperatures rise.

Look, it's got a climate change.

Climate change, climate change component.

It can cause serious lung infection called aspergillosis, which in vulnerable individuals can lead to organ failure and death.

Those with weakened immune systems, they're susceptible, of course.

Major cities like New York, Houston, Los Angeles face added risk from dense populations and aging infrastructure.

And so I'm thinking, I'm listening to that.

I'm thinking, well, is this connected somehow?

The latest COVID variant is causing a distinctive symptom, a sore throat so severe it's nicknames razorblade throat.

Some patients report a sharp stabbing pain when they swallow, often at the back of the throat.

Because of that, the new variant is informally being called Nimbus, a name that refers to a jagged type of storm cloud.

Doctors in the UK are also seeing more intestinal symptoms than with other variants.

The virus is spreading quickly.

In the U.S., Nimbus went from single digits to 37% of all new cases of COVID in less than three weeks.

Nah, it's not.

I'm reading down this article further, and there it is.

Climate change is making it easier for the fungus to survive inside the human body as global temperatures rise.

The human body doesn't change temperatures because of climate change.

Of course not.

Of course not.

Your body temperature stays the same.

Or it should.

Man.

Yeah, and it's actually gone lower.

So this is just historically.

This is just another climate psyop then.

Okay, I should have known better.

I'm sorry.

All right, five-minute warning, John.

Five-minute warning.

Five-minute warning.

Oh, we got a few things here.

We're talking since we're talking disease and

disease and death.

Death, disease, and something else.

Tick advice for the summer.

Bad year for tick bites.

Data from the CDC show people are seeking emergency care at the highest rate since 2019.

So if you're planning a hike or a trip to the park and want to avoid these blood-sucking bugs, And here's Ping Huang has some tips to help you fend them off.

There are about a dozen different ticks in the U.S.

that can cause problems for human health.

In the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Upper Midwest, the biggest problem is Lyme disease.

Thomas Hart is an infectious disease microbiologist at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.

He says Lyme disease is transmitted by infected deer ticks.

You can encounter these ticks really at any time of the year, but they're going to be the most active in warmer months, and they tend to live in a woody or grassy area.

In the central and southeastern U.S., Erlichiosis and spotted fever ricketsiosis are top concerns along with a tick-induced allergy to red meat.

Tick bites are less common in the West, but they also happen there and can spread Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and a few other things.

If all of this is making you itchy, Allison Hinkley, an epidemiologist with CDC, says there are precautions you can take.

You can wear insect-repellent treated clothing.

We call that permethrin-treated treated clothing.

That's a really easy thing to do.

Cover up as much skin as possible and check yourself daily.

Showering when you come in from outside really has shown to be a good way to prevent tick-borne diseases.

That's because the longer a tick feeds on you, the higher the risk of infection.

So if you find a tick, take it off right away.

The best way is to use tweezers, grab it as close to the skin as you can, and find out what type of tick it is and how long it's been feeding on you.

If it's a deer tick and you're in an area where Lyme disease is common, Pinkley says see a doctor.

The only time you would get an antibiotic after a tick bite and before any symptoms, it would be to prevent Lyme disease.

And in that case, we recommend just a single dose.

Otherwise, watch for symptoms like fever, aches, and rash.

If those show up, Hinkley says seek medical care.

Hey, whatever happened to Alpha Gal?

Who?

Alpha Gal.

I don't know, Alpha Gal.

Oh, yeah, Alpha Gal.

Yes, you do.

You dated her.

Alpha Gal

was the meat allergy that people would develop after getting bitten by the Texas lone star.

Oh, they mentioned it in there.

I know, but whatever happened to that?

That was like a big thing.

And people are like, oh, I can't eat red meat.

And Alpha Gal and Texas, the Lone Star Tick.

Yeah, the Lone Star Tick.

That was the name of it.

Yeah, what happened to that?

Just no one has that anymore?

Does that go away?

I don't think it has.

Hmm.

Well, we're going to New York next month.

I'll be doing the show from New York, Tina.

Oh, New York City.

New York City show.

You need a report of how the homeless encampments are doing.

And how's things at the Roosevelt Hotel?

You got a lot of work to do if you're going to go to New York.

I'll be very, very busy.

We're going there for Tina's birthday.

We'll be celebrating with her youngest daughter, who lives in New York.

And well, I've noticed, just imagine, I'm thinking we're going there.

We're going to stay at the Roosevelt Hotel.

Well, I'm not too sure about that.

Terminus released its annual ranking of the worst cities for bed bugs.

Uh-oh.

Philadelphia holds a top spot for the second year in a row.

Congratulations.

The city is powered by New York, Cleveland, and Los Angeles.

Analysts say infestations are likely tied to Aliana, can't even look at this.

I don't want to see it.

They're likely tied to climate, housing trends, and travel health.

People just bring them around.

Pest control experts suggest checking all furniture at your hotel or rental unit to avoid bringing any bugs back home with you.

I can't wait for Tina to hear the show.

She'll be checking the furniture.

She'll be checking the cabinets, the closets, everything.

We don't want bed bugs.

That's gross.

It's gross, I tell you.

Bed bugs.

There was a couple of years during this show era that, and it is an era at this point.

The no agenda era.

You should note that.

I prefer to call it a season.

Well, it's more than a season, believe me.

So during the No Agenda era, there was, if you remember, there's about a year's worth of bed bug stories because that was the fear

of the day.

There were bed bugs in the theaters.

That's where it started, yes.

We had,

let me see, 2020.

Bedbugs in the theaters.

Yeah, well, that happened in

France.

The bed bugs were in the theaters.

And let me see, was this 2020?

Coming up.

it's a feeding frenzy on the move.

Bed bugs are giving people nightmares.

Over the last 10 years, their population has been exploding.

Tonight, we know why the insects are crawling out of beds and into movie theaters, classrooms, and more.

2020.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was all during the No Agenda era.

Do you see now why we have boomer benefit?

Do you understand?

Yeah, but

besides

our knowledge base, the two of us combined, is 100 years plus

easy,

it's the

show

archives itself are unbelievable.

Right there,

within 20 seconds, you found a bed bug clip exactly explaining what the problem was, was just bed bugs in theaters.

And it came, what we forgot, of course, is it came from France.

Yes.

Or I forgot that you remembered.

Yes.

So your point is

people should think about what we just did and say, you know, we should give these guys at least five bucks or subscribe or something.

I'm going to show my support by donating to Noah General.

Imagine all the people who could do this.

Oh, yeah, that's fine.

That nailed it.

And we still have plenty of show to come.

I have some actual real-world ISOs that

may be worth selecting for our end-of-show ISO.

We have some dynamite

Iran end of show mixes on the way, John's tip of the day.

And of course, we have a night.

We have two dames, I think.

We have some PhDs.

And the birthdays, but first, John is going to thank our very short list of donors that we still want to thank $50 and above.

Yeah, and I noticed that

our dame in Sparks, Nevada is missing because I think she that was, again, the problem with PayPal.

Because she's been giving us money every show.

And we'll hear from her shortly.

So we start with a Vienna donation from of all places.

Vienna, Austria.

Oh.

From Balaza

Checo, I think.

Chesco, Chesco, something.

I don't know.

I'll never get that name.

Kevin McLaughlin got through the filter.

He's there with 8008.

He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America, lover of boobs.

Probably because he's on an automatic.

No, he's not automatic because he adds a

could you squeeze because he's writing different notes all the time, so you can't do that with automatic.

And he's asked, could you squeeze the melon mix by sound sound guy Steve into the end of the show mix, please?

Melon mix.

Oh.

Okay.

Yeah.

Because he asked for it and he is the Archduke.

Yes, I will.

No, he gets what he wants.

He totally gets what he wants.

That dude's awesome.

Both of them receive PhDs in media deconstruction.

You can go to noagendarings.com, fill out all the information where we can send this to you.

It's a very handsome certificate.

It is beautiful for framing.

Don't just stick it on your wall, frame it.

It'll make it look so official because it is official, an official PhD from your No Agenda show.

Then we have One Knight and One Dame.

This is the note that you read earlier from my keeper Shelly.

And with this, they commemorate their son Colby, who was the one who hit them in the mouth, as mentioned on the show back in early 2023, who succumbed to his demons.

Unfortunately, he is no longer with them anymore.

So, again,

their message is: anyone out there needs help, please call the Suicide Hotline.

You are not alone.

You are loved and you are important to everybody.

With this donation, Shelly becomes a dame.

Please name her Dame Shelly, holder of the CDL.

And Dog Mama, she wants squeaky toys and tennis balls at the round table already ordered.

Therefore, you keep up the fantastic work.

And Colby's favorite was Noodle Boy.

You know, we'll do a, let me get the

Noodle Boy.

We have, we don't have, we don't have a jingle for noodle boy, do we have the the noodle gun is what we have?

No, we have the noodle boy, it's not a jingle, it's the whole thing, right?

Right, well, I'll do a noodle gun because that is about the the noodle boy and karma for all.

We'll do that right now, actually.

I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit.

I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.

You've got karma.

And with that, let's draw our blades, Mr.

Dvorak.

Bring out the blade.

Got one right here.

Very nice.

Okay.

Shelly, pop on up here right on the podium along with Eric Tolbert.

Both of you have completed everything you need to become a knight and a dame with a Noah General Roundtable, so I'm very proud to pronounce Kate thee as Dame Shelley, holder of the CDL and dog mama.

And sir, not appearing in this film for you here at the round table.

we have squeaky toys and tennis balls.

We've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay for your pleasure.

We have redheads and rise, Brazilian hotties and cachasha.

We've got gates and a sake, Ruben Esperman and Rose, Bungits and Bourbon, Sparkling Cider and Escorts, Ginger Ale and Gerbils, Breast Milk and Pablo.

And as always, here at the round table, the favorite, the staple, your mutton and your mead.

Go to noagendarings.com and there you will see the handsome ring for knights and for dames, the signet ring.

So with that,

you receive that with not just your certificate of authenticity but also a couple of sticks of wax so you can seal your important correspondence and thank you both for supporting the no agenda show

No Agenda meetups being organized around the globe.

That is where the producers get together, talk about important affairs like stuff we talk about on the show, and their opinions, and their conspiracies, and whatever else is happening.

Knights and dames show up to these.

It's a good old hoot and any.

You can find all of these listed at noagendameetups.com.

And we love it when people get together because that connection gives protection.

And these are the first responders in an emergency.

bye-bye.

No?

Okay.

Keep it 100, bro.

We're sorry, citizen.

You violated the terms of our agreement here in the office.

I don't even know where that comes from.

Sounds like me.

And this one I think is maybe useful.

Boy, I'm sick and tired of smart guys.

Hmm?

It was Biden.

Yeah.

When he was, I think we've tried to, I think you tried to slip that one in once before.

Well, I'm sick and tired of smart guys.

Well, I kind of like it.

I mean, it's got.

I like the bunker buster because it wraps the show around because it started with bunker buster.

That was one bunker buster of a show.

Yeah.

Well, it is AI, but then again, so is everything.

I'm not even sure I'm talking to John anymore.

It could just be.

You are talking to John.

You are talking to John.

You are not talking to AI.

Tip of the daytime.

Created by Dana Bernetti.

All right, I have a website to plug.

A website plug.

Yeah, we do website plugs with rotations.

We do websites.

Now, if anyone ever is going to buy a digital camera, a used one in particular, or a new one,

there's a website that, you know, I don't go to the computer magazines or online stuff.

There's one website that all they do is review digital photography stuff.

They review every camera that's ever come out.

You can go look at their old reviews if you want to buy a used camera.

A lot of people, buying a used digital camera is not a bad idea in today's world because they really got to a very high peak, you know, five years ago, and they're still very useful, these cameras.

But which one would you get?

And then there's lenses and other things that these guys review.

What?

Lenses?

Lenses?

There's There's different lenses?

I have five on my iPhone.

I don't need different lenses.

So

this is for people who

realize that a camera is still better than a phone for taking a photo.

But I mean,

the phone does a great job.

Is that true, though?

Is a camera better than a phone these days?

Yeah.

Just look at the little dinky lens and the whole, come on, it's all and talk about AI.

The thing is processing the picture.

It's probably changing the colors.

Oh, it's changing everything.

The whole thing is ridiculous.

That's why they're better.

People like the pictures because they're like, oh, I look good in this.

Yeah.

Well, that's

dpreview.com.

DPreview.com.

Highly recommended website.

Yeah, if you like anything.

Be careful.

There's other DP websites out there.

You want to be kind of careful.

DP Review, one word, DPreview.com.

I'm just saying.

And I know this is unfortunate.

Go to tipoftheday.net.

Only you would come up with that.

Just the chip with JCD.

And sometimes at home.

Created by Dana Bernetti.

I only do it as a public service.

I want to help people.

You know, I want to warn them for the perils, the perils that could be out there.

The perils.

Doya.

Yes.

All right, by request for the end of show mix, we've added the melon mix from Sound Guy Steve for our Archduke of Luna and the Lover of America and boobs.

Along with that comes James Trees.

That's the song you like, the war in Iraq, and a classic, because they're all classic, because you can use them every five years,

medley from our very own Jesse Coy Nelson.

That is coming up in our end of show mixes.

Do stay tuned for that.

They're toe-tappers, I tell you, real toe-tappers.

Up next on the No Agenda stream, trollroom.io, and if you just keep listening to your modern podcast app, you will hear Podcasting 2.0, where we talk about, well, about Spotify getting on board, kind of, and other things about the future of podcasting.

We'll be back on Thursday to bring you more media deconstruction.

Until then, coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where not everybody's happy with President Trump.

Fredericksburg, Texas, in the morning, everybody.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's going to NoAgendadonations.com today.

Dvorak.

We will talk to you again on Thursday.

Until then, adios, slow foes.

Ho hoooe-hoo-ee.

To get ready for World Water 3.

It's so exciting to look and see.

There's gonna be mushroom clouds everywhere.

And nobody will even have to care.

We're gonna be waving bye-bye to everyone,

you and me.

I'm gonna get a tan from the rain and be

of nuclear fusion decay.

It's gonna be raining all over the world.

I'm gonna look so great.

It's gonna be a war with Iran.

And I'm doing all I can

to get ready for World Water 3.

There's gonna be a war with Iran,

Generals gathered in their masses.

This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years.

Just like witches at Black Masses.

When I first came to office, one of the first meetings I had was at the Pentagon with generals.

Evil minds that plot destruction.

Bolton has always said, let's go to war, but he's not the one who's going to go in the forefront.

He's a coward.

Sorcerer of death's construction.

The leaders of Iran are racketeers.

Behind every problem is Iran.

They heard what you said in 2016 and liked it when you said no more stupid wars.

You've got a rogue president in the White House surrounded by these uber hawks that thirst for another war with Iran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has never found Iran in contravention of stipulations in the deal.

if Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran.

Never threaten the United States again.

I'm not somebody that wants to go into war.

In the United States, heading towards another Middle East showdown, this time with Iran.
