1771 - "Home Depotation"

All right, this is the time of the year to plant.

Adam Curry, John C.

Dvorak.

That's Sunday, June 8th, 2025.

This is your award-winning Give Monation Media Assassination episode 1771.

This is no agenda.

Cutting through the crud and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas school country, right here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry.

And from northern Silicon Valley, where they've called out the National Guards, it's authoritarianism.

I'm John C.

Dvorak.

It's Crackbot and Buzzkill.

In the morning.

Oh, man.

It's on the quad.

It's on the quad.

Everybody's on the quad.

Oh, no.

Trump calls out the National Guard ask doing what people asked him to do.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

We can't have it.

It's authoritarianism.

It is authoritarianism, man.

And the National Guard is standing there like smoking cigarettes.

They don't know what to do.

They're all standing around.

Nothing's going on.

They're all standing around.

Everyone else is, they're riding.

No, they burned

their old panties and everyone's live streaming it on Instagram and TikTok.

I have not seen anything really happen.

Well, there's that car on fire.

Oh, a car on fire.

They do that when we win the ball game.

It's true.

Come on.

Win a Super Bowl and they put more cars on fire.

Yeah, don't park around the Super Bowl.

Well, I have a couple of clips because the BBC thinks this is a big deal.

Oh, yes.

Well, the BBC would because it's going to happen in their town soon.

And for real.

But this is interesting.

This clip is interesting because

you know they want to turn it around and make it about Trump somehow being Hitler.

Yes, of course.

And so

they talk about the event.

They have some woman standing there in the LA is in LA, by the way.

For people out there who don't know where this is.

And by the way, for people who don't know what the quad is, I have YouTube TV has a four-screen multi-view CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and BBC.

That's the quad.

Just like that.

And so

there's a woman who reports.

She's got nothing to say.

So they bring on the, of course, the main

BBC guy.

So he's going to bring an analyst in to discuss this.

And here we go.

Well, earlier, I spoke to Scott Lucas, professor of U.S.

and international politics at University College Dublin's Clinton.

He was a professor.

He's in Ireland.

And his specialty is Trump derangement syndrome, I'm presuming.

Yeah.

Well National Guard is a long-established institution.

It dates back to the 17th century when the U.S.

was a British colony.

And that is, it was a local, effectively militia.

Now, as the U.S.

developed as a country,

you of course would eventually have the national military, but the National Guard would be overseen at state level.

Now, they could be used in two cases.

The federal government could request that the states deploy them,

provide them, say, for example, at the start of the 21st century in Iraq, I mean Afghanistan.

They can also be used in national emergencies, and I emphasize real national emergencies.

For example, in 1992, as you mentioned, in the LA uprising, after the beating of Rodney King, they were called out when the city suffered more than $1 billion in damage.

And they can be deployed when states refuse to observe

the law.

So the federal government in the 1950s under Dwight Eisenhower called out the National Guard to make sure that schools could be desegregated in Arkansas when Governor Falbus refused to do so.

So in very specific

situations where there is an imminent threat, the federal government can override the states and call out the National Guard.

Hold on a second.

He says two things here.

Let me just get this right, and you've probably looked this up.

So the president can call out the National Guard in a situation where the state is disregarding the law, and that could be a danger.

And then at the end, he says, but you know, if it's just,

if it's crazy, then he can call it the National Guard.

And in this case, I presume legally, President Trump has called in the National Guard because

the state of California is not cooperating with ICE to hand over criminals.

So that sounds right.

It sounds like the president is in his constitutional right.

You're too logical.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't work for the BBC.

That's the problem.

So a couple of things he did say I want to point out because he's going to be forced to contradict himself.

He says he makes the point of real.

He says real national emergencies.

Right.

And he uses the word national.

Real.

That's what he said.

Yeah, it's real.

Ronald King was not a national emergency.

No.

It was a local situation in L.A.

But I suppose you could, you know,

it was not a good time.

It was not a party.

The other one was Fawvis.

There was a black kid.

They wouldn't let him in the school, so they brought the National Guard and forced him to go in.

Or her, I think it was a woman.

That was during Johnson?

No, this is where this is Eisenhower.

Oh, Eisenhower.

I'm sorry.

Yes, way before.

And so that was hardly a national emergency, but whatever the case,

he's going, he's kind of wandering here.

He's not on the script because he should have already slammed Trump by now.

So the BBC guy interrupts him.

Prompts him, prompts him.

Hey, you're not doing it right.

Interrupts him and puts him back on track.

And then we get to hear what they're really trying to tell us.

Here we go.

What do you make of Donald Trump's decision to do it in this instance?

It's unprecedented.

It's unprecedented for the National Guard to be called out when you do not have that imminent threat.

And I need to emphasize protesters gathered last night, as you mentioned, outside this detention center because people are just being swept up.

Swept up.

Many of whom have no criminal records.

And with a threat, they'll just simply be disappeared, deported without

due process of law.

There you go.

There were some people who were arrested when they failed to disperse, but there were a some total of two.

Two people who were arrested for assaults on police officers, one with a Molotov cocktail.

Do you think that in the literature this professor has studied that they speak of sweeping people up?

Or is that just hyperbole from our professor?

And he also used the word disappeared, which is a left-wing disappeared.

Yeah, that's good.

I'll take it back to that.

Deported without

due process of law.

There were some people who were arrested when they failed to disperse, but there were a sum total of two.

Two people who were arrested for assaults on police officers, one with a Molotov cocktail, allegedly.

So there was no imminent threat here.

This needs to be called out what it is.

It is a political stunt

by the Trump administration, both as part of that crackdown on migration and also to try to expand its authority at the expense of the states in what would some see as being effectively authoritarian.

Oh, there it is.

Oh, very good.

Authoritarian.

Every single one of my British and European friends, you know what they say?

Man, I wish.

I can just imagine.

Man, I wish we had a guy like that here.

That's what they all say.

That's what they all say.

Yeah, there's that element.

That's the one that really actually cracks me up.

Yeah, of course.

They won't say it in their own country for fear of retribution.

And,

you know, this,

all the news, all of it is all swept up, you know, disappeared.

Disappeared as my favorite.

These, these, this is not,

this is, this is political speech.

That's what that is.

And

it's kind of baffling.

Well, no, not really, I guess.

Yes,

what am I thinking?

It's not really baffling.

Do you have more?

I have Ice Barbie, who was on the CBS Face the Nation.

Well,

where I want to head toward with starting with that is the

going toward bringing back Albrego Garcia.

Yes, okay.

Yeah.

Which I have clips for, but but Ice I think

Ice Barbie.

Well, Ice Barbie is

I always mix her up with

bondage.

No, Ice Barbie.

Yeah, Ice Barbie is Gnome.

Christy.

Gnome.

The dog killer.

Gnome, like Gnome, Alaska.

She's cold.

Yes,

the dog killer.

The dog killer.

She has no heart, man.

She's a dog killer.

So thank you to the Jones Brothers Syndicate.

Neil always does throughout the week, and Steve Steve has everything rolling in the morning, and that's why I was a little behind.

I was late getting even the clean feed up for you because I was listening to the clips that were coming in.

It's pretty cool to have it just before the show starts.

So this is Margaret, your favorite, your gal, Margaret Brennan, with the ice barbie, Christina.

Well, we are seeing from the President's proclamation that he can federalize, he says, 2,000 California National Guard forces for 60 days under Title 10 authorities.

Which units are being deployed?

Are they military, police, and exactly what are their orders?

Yes, President Trump is putting the safety of the communities that are being impacted by these riots and by these protests that have turned violent.

And he's putting the safety of our law enforcement officers first.

So these 2,000 National Guard soldiers that are being engaged today are ones that are specifically trained for this type of crowd situation where they'll be with the public and be able to provide safety around buildings and to those that are engaged in peaceful protests and also to our law enforcement officers so they can continue their daily work.

Okay, that sounds ominous.

This is not good, but

we've got to bring in the term federalizing, federalizing.

It's like

the federal government's taking over the states.

So our CBS team is reporting that the California National Guard officers are at that Edward Roybal Center in L.A.

This is a plaza with a federal building.

Federal building rooms are there, a processing center, a detention detention center, a veterans clinic.

Are the soldiers going to remain around the federal building?

Are you planning to help them go throughout the city of Los Angeles?

I won't speak specifically to all the locations where the National Guard soldiers will be deployed to or where they will be conducting different operations as far as security concerns.

They're there

at the direction of the president in order to keep peace and allow people to be able to protest, but also to keep law and order.

That is incredibly important to the president.

By the way, from what I can see, that's exactly what's happening.

They're standing around.

They're not in the line with their weapons drawn.

They're just standing around.

And everybody else is

protesting reasonably peacefully.

Okay.

They're all live streaming.

This is an influencer event.

He recognizes he was elected to make sure that every single person in this country was treated exactly the same and that we would enforce enforce the laws.

And that is what ICE is doing every day as they're out on our streets and working to go after bad criminals and people that have perpetuated violence on these communities.

The gang members we have picked up in LA because of their hard work are horrible people.

Assault, drug trafficking, human trafficking.

They are now off of those streets and they are safer because these ICE operations are ongoing.

Unfortunately, we've seen some violent protests happen and that's why these National Guard soldiers are being utilized to help with some security in some areas.

All right.

So now we're just going to get down to it is because the Los Angeles authorities will not cooperate with ICE.

Well, the U.S.

Attorney in LA told CBS that LAPD did help.

LAPD does help.

That's what is

to me, Margaret, is hours later.

They waited until we had officers in dangerous situations, then they responded.

Now, if that was my city and I was the mayor, I would be sending law enforcement in there to back up other law enforcement officers.

That's what America is about is that we have rules and we have laws.

If you don't like the laws, go to Congress and change them.

Someone should go to Congress and say, change the laws.

If we don't like what's happening in this country, do that instead of throwing rocks and throwing Molotov cocktails and instead of attacking law enforcement officers.

I'm just not going to.

Anymore.

This president cares deeply about family members that want to live in their communities and be safe.

Back to the question, though, of active duty troops, different from the National Guard.

What is your personal counsel here to the President?

Because it's you, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Defense.

We're going to have a lot of responsibility here in implementing some of this call to do this.

Well, let me be clear about something.

ICE and Homeland Security are running these operations right now.

And the advice and counsel of the Attorney General of the Department of Defense are extremely important to the President of the United States.

And we never discuss our personal conversations and advice to the President of the United States.

He makes the decisions.

He is the president that sits in that seat, and we are all very proud to work for him.

So I'm grateful for the

leadership of Pete Hegseth and Advan Bondi, and I get the chance to work with them.

And as someone does their job today, we're thankful to have the partnership and the leadership of President Trump.

Oh, Ice Barbara, you're so boring.

The only thing that really I think is interesting about this is the masks.

And this is the last clip of this.

Wait, before you play the next clip, what is Brennan trying to do here?

Did you notice that she tried to pull in the active duty

military?

Because they keep trying to stick Trump.

And he's going to make the military, which is not the National Guard.

I mean, the National Guard is the military, but it's a different branch altogether, even though it's

trying to make it scary, like he's turning the military on his own people, like we said he would.

Yeah, exactly.

But it's interesting how she slipped it in and

the

gnome slipped past it.

She should have addressed it and shoot her out for it, which is, I think, Bands would have done.

Yeah, well, Ice Barbie is cute, but she's not, she doesn't, she's not the best.

I mean,

she has kind of a stock way of talking.

And then to say, oh, I'm excited to work with A.G.

Barbie.

She's not as good as the other ones in terms of being aggressive.

What's going on?

I mean, Rubio would have done it.

Oh, yeah.

No, they're better.

They're just better.

It's okay.

Ice Barbie is awesome in that role as Ice Barbie.

Just put a

black dog killer.

All right, the masks.

This is the part that I thought was interesting for a certain reason.

President Trump said masks will not be allowed to be worn at protests.

Who's going to enforce that and how?

And how can you justify it when law enforcement officials have their faces covered?

Go up to them and pull their masks down.

You know, what I would say is that the law is going to be enforced and that what the laws are are in this country is what we are doing.

And our ICE officers and our law enforcement officers out there that are in these situations where people have questioned why they have their faces covered.

It's for the safety of those individuals or the work that they're doing as far as protecting their identity so they can continue to do investigative work.

But are you tasking the National Guard soldiers with removing masks from protesters?

I mean, are you trying to use them in that way?

This is such an upside-down world.

For four years, the left was saying, saying, wear a mask, wear a mask, wear a mask.

And I was like, stop wearing your mask.

National Guard soldiers are there to provide security for operations and to make sure that we have peaceful protests.

So that's what their work is.

And I won't get more specific on that just because we never do when it comes to law enforcement operations.

We're doing the same standard procedures we always do and have for years in this country with our National Guard and with our

law enforcement folks that are on the ground working with these communities.

Now, this is interesting, this mask issue, because Hakeem Jeffries, who is the, what is his actual title?

He's the

leader of the Democrat Party in the House, but it has a name.

Yeah, he would be the next speaker.

Yeah,

the guy,

I don't have said this on the show, but he just seems, looks like

he has, he looks slow-witted, sounds dumb.

He's a dummy.

Well, here he is talking about the ICE agents and the whole mask issue.

Every single

ICE agent

who's engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that.

This is America.

America.

This is not the Soviet Union.

We're not behind the Iron Curtain.

This is not the 1930s.

And every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified.

That, in fact, is the law.

Oh.

And

we're going to make sure that the American people have the transparency necessary

to hold people accountable

when they're folks who cross the line here in America.

That's what's going to happen.

So he is basically threatening to dox the ICE agents to out them and let everyone know who they are so they can.

And where they live and what their family looks like.

Let's go back to January 26th of 2021.

Hakeem Jeffries.

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries of New York chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

Great to have you on, Congressman.

Just tell me what you know and what you're willing to say.

Obviously, there's some security concerns here about the threats this individual directed at family members, yours, on January 6th.

This is something that unfolded on January 6th directed at a family member of mine.

This individual apparently had secured a phone number,

secured an address,

made it appear as though they were prepared to proceed violently either at the address of my family member and or my own home address.

He didn't like it when it happened to him.

So, no, Hakeem Jeffries.

Don't do that.

Just don't do that.

So then we have

a number of good gambits going on.

You identified it in the newsletter, and that is the return of

the Maryland husband,

the father from Maryland,

the poor guy who got shipped off to El Salvador.

Oh, well,

you got to get the

correct usage done.

Well, I'm sorry.

Did I get it wrong?

Yeah,

he was

accidentally shipped off or

mistakenly shipped off.

Swept off.

Swept up.

Swept up.

I have a couple of clips that kind of

developed this, but I want you to play what you're playing.

No, no, no.

I'm tossing to you.

Back to you, Bob.

Okay,

let's start with the.

We used to do this on the show.

I stopped doing it, but I'm going to do it again, at least for this show.

This is the rundown.

This is the complete.

It's it's a two-minute clip.

And you don't have to watch the news.

I've said this before.

You just watch the rundown, and they give you everything you need to know about today's news.

And this is from yesterday's ABC News.

Tonight, several developing stories as we come on the air.

Violent protests as ICE agents take migrants into custody.

More than 40 million Americans on alert for severe storms.

And Coco Goff makes history at the French Open.

We're all going to die.

Yeah.

I'm tired.

I'm tired from just hearing that.

Yeah, I know.

It's pretty fatiguing.

But mistakenly,

this mistakenly,

everybody's using it.

Mistakenly.

Yeah, mistakenly.

It was a mistake.

Wow.

They are so.

Nobody ever said it was a mistake except one guy in the administration.

It was one of the lawyers and one of the

federal lawyers says,

yeah, I think we had a clip of that where he went, he said it, and it was like, oh, no, oh, no.

Oh, I didn't mean to say that.

Oops.

And now everyone's picked it up.

So to go from there to the NPR report on the

NPR, this ICE raids.

This must be just full of gems.

Well, it's pretty short, so it's not full of too many gems,

but it's got the right kind of attitude.

It's when we get to the NPR analysis, which are the Dems view.

But this play Ice Raids is Ice Raid SoCal.

Ice Raid SoCal NPR.

In Southern California, for a second straight day, there are major actions by federal law enforcement going after people in the country illegally.

Steve Futterman has more.

This is, you know,

just clipping today,

all of the terms that the news media is using.

I mean, people who are.

How about illegal immigrants?

Anything but what you just said, NPR?

Liberal law enforcement going after people in the country illegally.

Steve Futterman has more.

Agents moved in at another Home Depot.

Some of their focus was on day laborers.

Wow.

That's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Let's go to Home Depot, see if we can find any illegals.

Oh, please.

Wow.

Okay.

That's exactly the right analogy.

Well, how much work are you going to put in today?

I don't know.

Let's just go to the home department.

Let's go to Home Depot.

Pick some guys up.

Exactly.

You know what it is?

The Californians are pissed because these are the people who are rebuilding their homes, and they have to get cheap labor because the permits cost 50 grand.

That's what's going on.

You can get a permit.

Do you know as

I do?

As I do.

Thousands and thousands of homes burnt to the ground.

The total number of permits, what is it?

You know,

yeah, I think it's like 70 or something.

No, 55.

Yeah, yeah.

Now, I actually have a clip somewhere of it.

But yeah, no, exactly.

It's a joke.

And those 55 cost tens of thousands of dollars.

So, yeah, you want to go get your labor at Home Depot.

Steve Futterman has more.

Agents moved in at another Home Depot.

Some of their focus was on day laborers who often gather outside the store looking for work.

As word spread on social media of the raid, protesters showed up.

There were some confrontations.

Objects were thrown at a U.S.

Marshal's bus carrying some of those detained.

Agents responded with flashbangs and tear gas.

One of the protesters, Maya Malika, blames President Trump.

What we're facing right now is Trump's armed Gestapo because this is the future.

We're just seeing a glimpse of the future that Trump wants to implement.

The acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons, is defending the actions here, claiming that some of the people arrested included dangerous criminals.

That lady, she was on all the European reports.

She is the, I think, director of the non-profit for immigrants' rights.

So she was everywhere.

And so I'm surprised that NPR didn't pick up someone else for that.

But I guess she was the only one.

Why bother?

Why, you know,

there's the easy way or the hard way.

It's the easy way.

Yeah.

Did they talk to anyone at Home Depot?

Any of the

manic?

They don't speak English.

So no, they didn't talk to anyone.

No, no, no you know lowe's doesn't allow that

you know

lowe's shoes them off no

shoes them off go go get out go away yes no home depot we have one around here it's during the in the heyday era i think it was like a few number years back yeah that place was there was a

thousand guys out there yeah yeah well that was that would find one guy you had to you could find if you wanted to get some work done you'd find one guy who spoke really good english and he could organize a crew for you.

Yeah.

You could work.

You sound like you speak from experience, Steve.

I'm just saying this is possibly

something you can always do if you need a cleanup or something.

Okay.

Cheap.

On the cheap.

You know, there are plenty of people here in Fredericksburg who are here, born here, who are happy to do it cheap.

They clean up.

Yeah, well, they won't come to California is my understanding.

No, no, of course not.

They don't want to live there.

So NPR decides

they're going to bring that bonehead from Connecticut, the guy who went to have a margarita with Abrego Garcia

back on the show.

That guy.

That guy.

Oh, it's perfect.

He's the perfect guy.

Fantastic.

So he can come in and play his, oh, well, you know, all we care about is process.

And all we, you know, this is what the Democrats are always accused of.

They're more into process than anything.

And, you know, you got to follow the rules.

And this is all we cared about.

We don't know if he's guilty or not, doesn't matter, and blah, blah, blah.

But here we go.

This is a four-parter.

It's quite entertaining.

Kilmar Obrego Garcia, who has been at the center of an intense political and legal fight since he was mistakenly, mistakenly, mistakenly, mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March, is back in the United States.

For months, the Trump administration resisted a Supreme Court order to, quote, facilitate his return.

Now, Abrego Garcia is back, but in a Tennessee prison.

He's been charged with conspiracy to transport migrants in the U.S.

without legal status from Texas across the country.

That's according to the federal indictment unsealed Friday.

Senator Chris Van Holland played a leading role in the push to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S.

The Democrat represents Maryland, where Abrego Garcia was living with his family before he was deported.

Senator Van Holland joins us now.

Scott, good to be with you.

What is your reaction to this news?

He's been returned to the U.S., but is in federal prison.

This is a...

Wow, did you hear that that was an interview that was done a whole different time, a whole different sound, a whole different timbre of voice?

That was interesting.

Where Arbrego Garcia was living with his family before he was deported.

Senator Van Holland joins us now.

Scott, good to be with you.

What is your reaction to this news?

He's been returned to the U.S., but is in federal prison.

This is a victory for the rule of law and due process.

As you just said, the Trump administration for months said he would never set foot on U.S.

soil again.

They thumbed their nose at a 9-0 Supreme Court decision.

I have repeatedly said that this is not about the man, Abrego Garcia.

It's about his constitutional rights to due process, and that if you trample over his rights, you threaten the rights of everybody who lives in the United States.

So finally, his case is back in court where it should have been all along.

And he will have an opportunity with his lawyers, who he's not had any communication with, to defend himself against these new charges.

I have a question.

So far, this is the.

And by the way, if you're chewing gum, everyone has to have gum.

If you're chewing gum, you're chewing gum, Billy.

Give everybody a piece of the gum or get the gum out of your mouth.

That's the Democrats.

Is there anyone else that

this guy from Connecticut or any other representative or senator has gone to bat for?

That they were swept swept up and disappeared illegally?

Is there any other example that we've heard of, or is it just the news media telling us that?

I don't know of any other examples.

They have talked about the gay hairdresser.

But that kind of got pushed aside.

No, because I don't think the gay hairdresser was true.

If there truly was a gay hairdresser who got shipped off,

the people would lose their ever-loving minds over it if it was really true.

It would be perfect.

Trump hates gays.

So I'm just going to say it was never true.

So it just, you know, that would be...

Well, you might.

You're probably taking away.

They're taking away our rights.

That's...

Well, the reason what you just said, the question you're asking, the open-ended question you're asking, is not answerable because people are disappearing.

Oh, yeah, but they have family members here.

They've disappeared too.

Oh, okay.

Okay, I got it.

Now, here's the one.

This one I did a little, I had to look into this because I got sick of this.

ABC said the same thing as you're about to hear in clip two.

Okay.

Have you been able to talk to him or his legal team?

I have not spoken to him directly.

I have spoken to his wife, Jennifer.

What was her response to all of this?

Well, she's relieved to have him back on U.S.

soil.

Wait a minute.

The wife who he beat is relieved to have him back on U.S.

soil.

That's bullcrap.

Yeah, that's interesting.

She's finally had a chance to talk to him briefly, which she she was unable to do since he was first taken off the streets in Maryland and shipped to El Salvador.

And of course, you know, she's working with the lawyers as to the next steps.

You said before this isn't about him.

It's about the rule of law.

It's about the process.

What is your response to this indictment and the details in the indictment, the allegations that he transported undocumented immigrants across the country illegally?

Aaron Powell, Powell, Well, my response is what it's been all along, which is that the Trump administration needs to put up or shut up in court.

So for months, they made allegations over social media, which they had not made before the federal district court judge in Maryland, Judge Zinnis.

They'd made these claims.

With respect to MS-13, she said that they had put forward no evidence.

My point all along is this needs to be dealt with in a court of law.

That's where we convict the guilty.

It's also where people who are charged have their due process rights respected.

So, what's interesting in all this is many,

if not the most targeted, are people who have already

been through that process and have just been let go.

Yeah.

So,

the court of law thing is already happening.

That's exactly what you said.

You think the NPR guy is going to ask that?

Well, no, because otherwise all my hairdressers' clients will go crazy.

Okay, this is the clip that's got the WTF moment, which I have to discuss.

I mean, there has been criticism.

Well, am I playing 3-NPR or 3-WTF?

Oh, what?

Well, I have two clips here, two different lengths.

I have Dem's view on Albrego.

Oh, no, it's got to be 3-WTF.

That

3-NPR has got to be clip 4.

I like the guy's new name, Darcia, as great.

I mean, there has been criticism from some camps about the amount of detail in the 10-page indictment, about the fact that most of this material comes from unnamed sources.

Do you share that concern, or again, is to you the top line, this is now the formal process that should have happened from the beginning?

The top line is that this is the formal process and it should have been in court from the beginning.

I think the issues you just mentioned will, of course, be a subject of debate and

litigation in the court.

We also know that one of the members of the U.S.

Attorney's Office in Tennessee resigned reportedly in protest

about how these charges are being brought now.

He resigned?

In protest?

Reportedly in protest.

Where did that reporting come from that they resigned in protest?

He has never said he resigned in protest.

His resignation is on LinkedIn.

I've read it.

He quit the day that they indicted Abrego Garcia.

ABC, it traces back to ABC claims that

he resigned in protest.

So I looked up, and we have it in the show notes because I sent you a link to an article in Tennessee from a local newspaper where it's suspected because this Abrego Garcia situation took place in 2022,

three years ago, with the smuggling of all his nine people in the car.

It's believed that the prosecutor knows about some hanky-panky that was going on that allowed this illegality to continue.

He quit to get out of the way so he doesn't get caught up in what appears to be an upcoming mess.

Ah,

that's interesting.

He didn't quit in any protests, and they can't.

No one has gotten a quote from him saying he quit in protest.

Nobody.

ABC made it up.

Oh, I'm not surprised.

And of course, this Joker from this Connecticut dude, so he, or Maryland, where he's from, Connecticut.

He

congressman.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

He, he, of course,

goes with it.

He says it right there on the report

as if the guy quit in protest, because this is, this does match the, there were people, if you recall, like, I don't know, six to nine, just right after Trump got in, a bunch of

federal prosecutors that quit in protest because they were all short-timers and they were part-time.

One of them was only there for a month and she quit, if you recall.

And so now you can always use the quit in protest trope meme to make it sound like something actually happened when it didn't because somebody made it up.

Okay, so I had to get that off my chest, but it's in the show notes.

You know, it's interesting.

Last night, CNN broadcast worldwide first-time ever exclusive, never been done before

with 20 cameras live from Broadway.

Right.

Yeah, there was some outrageous number of cameras.

20 cameras.

George Clooney.

Can you imagine being the director?

I have to say, production-wise, dynamite.

I watched the whole thing because I'm a big fan of

the history of the news.

Yeah, no,

I'm a big fan of the Great Wide Way.

Yeah, and there's no coincidence that the Tony's are coming up.

The Chonies.

Yes, the Chonys.

Yes, of course.

And I think Clooney is nominated.

So it's George Clooney, actually, a bunch of dynamite actors.

And

they really did a good job.

The lighting was good.

It's about Edward E.

Murrow.

It's basically the movie.

It's basically the movie.

Yeah.

But it was very well done.

And I'm looking at it.

I'm like, wow, this is pretty good.

A lot of smoking on stage, which, of course, was back in the day was true.

What was the name of this product?

Good Night and Good Luck.

Right, which is the name of the movie.

It was a good movie.

Well, the play was good.

but at the very end, you know, Edward E.

Murrow did this famous speech at some, I don't know what it was at,

you know, basically, you know,

a democracy if you can, a republic if you can keep it type speech.

And so Clooney's up there at the very end, and it's setting this scene of him speaking to this large congregation of people about, you know, how we can use this medium for good or for bad.

And then it goes, and then it goes into this montage going all the way.

So it starts off like, you know, First Man on the Moon and the Kennedy assassination.

And then as it speeds up, it moves all the way up through, you know, Fox News about COVID, election deniers, January 6th, rigged election.

What?

Oh, yeah.

None of it was.

That wasn't in the movie.

No, of course not.

And then the crowd went wild at the end.

Of course.

You have the bunch of

elitist lefties in the audience.

Yeah, they can spend $90 to $100 for a second.

Oh, more than that, I'm sure, for this televised version.

And

I was so happy.

I'm like, this is really good.

I kind of like Clooney in general as an actor for some of the roles he plays.

But then that came, I'm like,

you just basically left me with a taste of vomit in my mouth.

Like, that's all you could pick from all the nonsense, all of the garbage that we've been dealing with since we've been doing the show, all of the, like right up until now, what you just said, just making stuff up.

And I was like, oh man, that's just too bad.

It's too bad, I tell you.

So listen to some of the terms the foreign media is using about President Trump sweeping, sweeping up people.

Before you do that, you might as well wrap this my clips up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you had any more.

Well, the three, when I said was four.

Oh,

it's four.

I got it.

Finally, you know, we're able to, he's able to,

and his family's able to litigate these in a court of law rather than unable to communicate from essentially what is a terrible prison, a notorious prison in El Salvador that he was first taken to.

Senator, I want to ask you this.

If all of this ends several steps down the line with Abrego Garcia guilty in federal court and eventually deported, to you, is that still a win for the rule of law and the Constitution?

The answer is yes.

I will be satisfied so long as the rule of law applies, so long as there's no abuse of process.

And again, the overriding issue here is adherence to the Constitution of the United States.

This is not the only case where President Trump and his administration are flouting the Constitution and due process.

But my bottom line has been and remains adherence to the Constitution of the United States, because if you put it at risk for one person, you do jeopardize those rights for everybody.

Well, he's not wrong about that, but I don't know.

He is not, but he's wrong.

I don't know if this is the right case because it's going to look, it's going to be a lot of egg on people's faces when it turns out that this guy was.

I think that's what he's been doing.

I think this entire clippage that I played is all damage control.

Yes.

Oh, it's a control.

It's all damage control.

It's all damage control.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah.

Good point.

So it's damage.

It's preemptive damage control.

And I think he did a pretty good job of that.

If you don't realize that he lied about the, you know, the guy who quitting protests and all the rest of it, and he soft-pedaled the whole thing, and now he's promoting it's not about and he's he prefaced the whole thing by saying it's not about the man.

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, it's about the process, guys.

Yeah, good catch.

Good catch.

Well, so instead of playing you the European clips and the verbiage they use

about

the immigration.

It's not Pride Month, it's World Pride Month.

I hope you've noticed this.

When did that happen, by the way?

Well, they did a rebranding.

When did that happen?

I'm asking.

This year.

This year.

This year is the first year of World Pride Month.

I believe so.

Yes, I believe so.

Well, they slipped that one by us.

And of course,

just by calling it Pride is

by itself, it's just, it's, it's, it's a sin

to be prideful.

But that's just me.

So

here's France 24.

And listen to what they're saying President Trump is doing to the LGBTQ plus community, which really is only about the T's because it's very, very small.

And

I have noticed that most of the World Pride Month stuff is

they do have some of the crazy flags, but they have mostly trans flags.

Yes.

Kamala is for they, them.

President Trump is for you.

From campaign ads targeting the transgender community to executive orders banning them from military service.

So targeting.

No, that campaign ad was targeting the Republican base of Donald Trump.

It wasn't targeting.

Do you mean like they were shooting at them?

It wasn't targeting them.

It was actually targeting the base he wanted to vote for them.

So no, that's incorrect.

From campaign ads targeting the transgender community to executive orders banning them from military service, Trump has ramped up his attacks against.

It's attacks.

It's attacks.

Attacks.

No, it's not an attack.

He had one proclamation about men or men and women or women.

Where's the rest of these attacks?

It's plural.

She is.

That was plural.

Oh, there's many more.

Attacks.

Trump has ramped up his attacks against the LGBTQ community, going as far as erasing any mention of them on the White House and several government agency websites.

Erasing.

This is another important term, erasing, because somehow

the narrative has become Trump wants to erase.

I can hear your wind chimes going crazy, by the way.

Oh, that's my dog.

I'm sorry.

It's not me.

It's the dog.

Hey, Bubba, it's okay.

What are you doing?

She's itchy.

The dog has wind chimes?

Yes, the dog has to do.

What do you do then?

You're torturing the animal.

Phoebe, come on.

Can you imagine what it sounds like to a dog?

It's her collar.

The narrative is Trump wants to erase us, erase, and with us, that means trans.

It's not about lesbians and gays.

It's about trans.

For the organizers of World Pride, the campaign has only increased the celebration's importance.

Through World Pride and all the prides that are going to take place, not just here in the United States, but around the world, this is the year that we need to ensure that we remain visible and seen.

So folks know.

Was there an invisibility problem that we're not recognizing when they got flags everywhere you go?

I'm telling you, this is the whole thing we're being erased, which is just not.

I'm seeing zero evidence of this.

No, there's no evidence of them.

They're being emphasized.

Yes, exactly.

There's no evidence of them being erased.

It's just the narrative.

This is the year that we need to ensure that we remain visible and seen.

So folks know that there's a place for them, that there are people fighting for them.

For the LGBTQ community, resistance to Trump's policies is key.

Within the U.S., a group of transgender soldiers are challenging the executive order banning them in the military in court.

Abroad, some are making the difficult decision to skip the celebration altogether to avoid problems at the border.

So they somehow

They think they're going to have problems at the border coming into the United States because they're trans?

Yes, I've seen a bunch of TikTok clips on this, and

they're holding up their passport, and it's an M, and

they identify as a girl, and they look like a girl.

They got the decept of the voice, and they feel that this is going to get them thrown in jail or shot.

I don't know

what they're thinking.

Meanwhile, others privilege showing up visibility is resistance when you say that we no longer exist, and then we show up in hundreds of thousands of numbers, then it defies this narrative that you have that we don't exist.

This is it.

We don't exist.

Yes, you do.

Everyone recognizes.

You know, the funny thing is, there's

this trans woman, Lynn Alden.

Lynn Alden, and Lynn Alden is an economist

and talks a lot about Bitcoin at Bitcoin conferences.

And I had actually asked someone the other: hey, is that Leon Alden?

Is Leon Alden trans?

Yeah, it's trans.

Nobody cares because Leon Alden just acts like a human being.

Just no one cares.

But when you just talk about him being erased and no one wants, you know, Lynn Alden's not erased.

Leon Alden is one of the most visible faces in all of Bitcoin.

It's like, why don't you just act like a human being and a member of society?

And then there's no problem.

Anyway, now we have the orchestra.

This is great.

At a patriotic concert before World Pride festivities in Washington, D.C., legendary drag queen Peaches Christ paraphrased famous American writer Mark Twain.

Patriotism means, I'll get this right, loving your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.

The International Pride Orchestra had originally been in talks to play the Kennedy Center, the most prestigious venue in the United States, but those plans were dashed after President Donald Trump gets office.

Dashed.

They were dashed.

They were dashed.

So June 14th is No King's Day?

I thought it was

Juneteenth.

No.

Isn't that 18th?

Isn't that June 18th?

Oh, okay.

It's on a Thursday.

It's a show day.

Oh, good.

Well, it's No King's Day.

No King's Day?

Yeah.

By the way, I do have a World Pride Day clip I just noticed, so don't let me forget.

Okay.

No Kings Day is a nationwide day of defiance.

From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks.

No Kings is referring to Trump.

Yes.

We're taking action to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.

This is what democracy looks like.

Nokings.org is the website.

And of course, can't really find who's behind all of this.

Soros.

Possibly.

It's organized by an outfit called a 50-51.

So 5-01.

Which refers to a nutball.

No, that's 5150.

Oh, 5-0-5-0-1.

I haven't quite figured that one out.

Upside down.

It's first and foremost the movement of, by, and for the people.

We are not nationally incorporated and have no plans to change that.

But they do have a lot of

groups that

work with them.

No Voice Unheard,

Build the Resistance.

There's a lot of, it's all socialist, by the way.

Build the Resistance with a Socialist Fist.

I can't really find out.

It seems like there's a bigger organization behind this.

But we can look.

Well, I'm sure there is.

There has to be.

Yeah, we can.

Somebody's paying the bills.

So if you look at

the

Aboot, we already got the Aboot page.

They have the partners.

Partners.

If you can find one person, you can find associations.

So

350.org.

Yeah.

Education, Healthcare, Public Services, American Humanists Association.

350, isn't 350 the parts per million group?

The climate change people?

Yes.

ACLU, the ACLU.

There they are.

Bend the Ark, Jewish Action, Black Voters Matter, Climate Hawks, Climate Defenders, Communications Workers of America, Common Defense.

I mean, there's a huge page here.

Families Over Billionaires.

Federal Unionist Network, Federal Workers Against Doge,

Human Rights campaign.

I mean, it's just,

and but there's a lot of organizations, big and small.

So anyway, just.

Yeah, you have to wonder if they're all there on purpose, if there's some of them never agreed to this.

There's always that possibility because there's so many of these things.

It's very possible.

You don't know.

You'd have to go try to track down someone at one of these operations and say, would you guys subscribe to this thing?

How much money did you give them?

This guy has to be on the mailing list.

All right.

what's your World Pride clip?

Well, that's a little pride, a little thing, which got a little punchline.

I thought it was funny.

DC is hosting World Pride Celebrations, a high-profile series of events highlighting LGBTQ rights.

This year's World Pride comes at a time when the Trump administration has targeted LGBTQ groups and people in a wide range of ways.

Targeted.

They're targeted.

Targeted.

Yeah, this is NPR.

Targeted.

Targeted.

It's targeting.

It's just

these words.

This year's World Pride comes at a time when the Trump administration has targeted LGBTQ groups and people in a wide range of ways, from barring transgender.

By the way, I don't think it's been outlawed for gays or lesbians to be in the military, has it?

No, I don't think so.

No, I think that's okay.

Costly trans.

You got to have drugs and to keep you trans.

It costs a lot of money.

What's your taxpayer's money?

It's costly.

Costly trans.

Oh, man.

In a wide range of ways, from barring transgender service members from the armed forces to stripping gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship.

So listen to the targeting.

What are the grievances?

The targeting?

Is he killing them?

Is he disappearing them?

Is he erasing them from the voter rolls?

Is he erasing them from the face of the earth?

No, the issues are.

In a wide range of ways.

A wide range of ways.

This is it.

Pay attention.

Here are the issues.

Barring transgender service members from the armed forces to stripping gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship.

We took a name off a ship.

This is an outrage.

NPR's Alana Wise was on the scene ahead of today's Big Pride parade and joins us.

And a heads up, you'll hear sirens in this piece.

Oh, heads up.

We don't want you to be triggered by sirens.

Hey, Alana.

Hi there.

Hi there.

Hi there.

What was the energy like on the streets right now?

Yeah, as you mentioned, this is the first year that DC is actually hosting World Pride, but it's also DC's 50th anniversary hosting its own Pride celebrations.

And people seemed really ready to celebrate that.

But, you know, more than a big party, Pride is also a call to action for the LGBTQ community to fight for their rights.

I happened to speak with someone named Kylan Mahaney from Virginia about why Pride is so important.

We got to be able to celebrate and be and be seen because otherwise we will be disappeared.

You'll be disappeared.

No.

No.

This is this is, and you know, people gotta be disappeared, at I'm kicked with it people

going to she said so you heard her yeah

now I just as a kicker if you want an extra little clip here I have it this the yacht clip which should say talk I'm sorry is a bull dyke oh yes this is the one with the with the kid in the in the in the mall yeah yeah it's a good clip I was misgendered yesterday well explain what she looks like just so just so we can she's well if you don't know what a bull dyke looks like she's got a really short haircut she's She's mean-looking, but she's pleasant at the same time.

She is.

I mean, I can no other way to describe it.

But she's a lesbian, a harsh, harsh-looking.

It's like

if you saw her.

Butch, I think, is that butch.

She's basically very butch.

And

if you saw her, you'd say, there's a lesbian.

By the way, if she didn't cut her hair crop so short, she'd actually be quite attractive as a woman.

Wouldn't you say?

I mean, I saw this clip, so

oh, wait,

sorry.

This is two times.

We only get two of these a show.

Okay, sorry.

But you do, no, the interface just crapped out again.

Oh, yeah.

Did you hear what I said?

Yeah, I heard everything.

Okay, well, response.

I said if she if she didn't have her hair all chopped up, oh, you didn't hear what I said.

No, no, no, I didn't hear what you said.

Oh, I said she, if you saw her on the street, you'd say there's a lesbian, right?

But I said, if she didn't crop her hair all choppy, she would be quite attractive as a woman.

I think she could.

I think you.

It's hard to argue against that.

She's got nice features.

She's got nice features.

I was misgendered yesterday.

A little girl at the mall.

She was maybe five years old, sitting in a wagon, kept staring at me.

So I made eye contact, and she said, are you a girl or a boy?

Her mom started to go, oh my God,

we accept everyone.

That's so rude.

You can't say that.

And I laughed and I bent down on her level.

And I said, that's okay.

It's confusing sometimes.

I'm a girl.

I just really like boys' clothes.

They're pretty comfy.

She got all excited and she said, I'm a girl, too.

And I gave her a high five.

I said, isn't it so great being a girl?

I love being a girl.

She said, yeah, that's my brother.

He's a brother because he's a boy.

So I said, you're right.

Brothers are boys and sisters are girls.

There's only boys and girls.

If you're born a girl, you're a girl.

I was born a girl.

I can almost see the release of error coming from her mother's body and just the ultimate sigh of relief that I wasn't going to be indoctrinating her child or teaching her child something that maybe she didn't want her to know.

I continued to talk to the little girl about her brother and her very cute dog, who was also a girl.

I said, I hope you have a great day, and I went about my business.

That is how you address gender to children.

You don't.

That is how you empower little girls and let them know that it's okay to be a girl who dresses however you want without having to change your gender.

That is how you avoid confusing children, especially children that aren't your own, and projecting your bullshit on them because you might be offended that they use the wrong pronoun.

America!

Exactly.

That's an American lesbian, whatever she is.

I don't care.

That's an American woman.

Who gets it.

Don't push the crap on the children.

So, along those lines, yes, I have a TikTok clip.

Yes, I do.

Now, this is a very calm, very normal-looking young woman.

And she explains something that I hadn't really

thought about, but when she said it, I'm like, oh, yeah, it's so true.

What she is going to explain here is how

liberal people,

I don't want to say Democrats, but just people who

were liberal.

Democrats.

I wouldn't say, not exactly, when you hear what she has to say.

How

Democrats, in your words,

have been psyoped

into

staying away from healthy and wholesome things in life

because it's all right-wing, crazy, nut jobs, MAGA.

I used to do CrossFit like literally every day of the week at 5 a.m.

And that might feel weird to you because when you think CrossFit, you probably think alt-right, or not at least alt-right, but people who are conservative.

Because over the last, I'd say, like seven years, there's been this shift where we are aligning fitness and especially things like weightlifting and CrossFit in particular with the right.

It slipped into that pipeline.

Years ago, if you used essential oils or you made your own bread or you had chickens, people didn't make assumptions about you wanting to be like a trad wife who doesn't vaccinate.

Like that used to just be its own thing.

Similarly to how like in the 80s or 90s homeschooling wasn't owned really by like one predominant religious group and one predominant type of person.

And now, homeschooling itself has shifted to where, if you're not homeschooling in that way, you have to actually differentiate that.

And so you have to say, we're part of XYZ homeschooling.

Like, there's different brandings now of homeschooling.

But now there's this association of like CrossFit is MAGA.

Homeschooling is MAGA.

Wanting to have chickens and my own eggs should not be a red flag of a political alignment.

Like, just let me let me want my own chickens, please.

Yeah.

Just killing people with this nonsense.

Yeah, it is.

And

I could not be.

Oh, you're a Democratic hand, but chicken.

You're mad at me.

By the way,

not to change the subject, and you can get right back to it, but this egg thing that just took place,

the ridiculous, and people should go to the FDA, I guess it's the FDA website, and look at the number of brands that this one egg provider with salmonella laced eggs.

It's everybody.

Oh, really?

Old brand, 365.

They have all the packages shown there.

Are we all going to die?

Rallies.

Not necessarily.

No, but

what got me.

They all come from one supplier?

One supplier is supplying at least 20 brands of eggs.

Which seems to me,

why don't they just have their own damn brand?

And there's none of their brand.

So you're ruining the reputation of all these companies, including O, the organic operation that runs out of Whole Foods.

Oh, really?

0365, whatever it is.

That's one of them.

0365, New Laid, which I always thought was just a big egg for you.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

So even the so-called organic eggs all come from the same chicken poop farm?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know how I got my eggs this morning?

Mike.

Mike comes.

That's what you're supposed to do.

You're supposed to get it.

I get eggs from Jay.

Well, Mike came up to me in church.

He says, hey, I put two cartons of eggs under your car.

Don't drive over them.

That's how I get my eggs.

Well, hopefully you remembered.

Yes, I told Tina.

Otherwise, I might have forgotten.

But yeah, that's how you get your eggs around here.

You know why?

Mike's got too many eggs.

He does, obviously.

He got waste of eggs.

He's giving you two whole cartons.

Yeah, and the only thing he says, can you give me the cartons back?

That's all he wants.

Yes, all the egg guy.

This is true of all guys who give eggs away or even sell eggs out of their backyard.

They

need those cartons.

So above all miracles, what took place, even for Fox News, where this is from, all of a sudden, raw milk is good for you.

So after years of being one-upped by plant-based alternatives like oat milk and cashew cream, real

dairy products, like especially raw milk, are having a comeback.

They're having a moment.

So talk to us about raw milk because, Nicole, it's not easy to get raw milk.

Me and Charlie talk about it a lot.

It's easier to get meth than raw milk.

This is a good point.

In America, it's easier to get meth than raw milk.

I think that's a great line.

That's a very good line.

Talk about it a lot.

It's easier to get meth than raw milk.

He said that his dealer got arrested, his raw milk dealer.

So

the reason people started to go away from animal dairy, you know, cow's milk, sheep's milk, goat milk, is because that there were some studies a couple of decades ago saying, you know what, there's high fats and there's high cholesterol potentially in these animal-based dairy products.

Well, most of that research has essentially been

determined to be obsolete.

And in fact, animal-based dairy is the best for you, high in nutrients.

Those proteins are complete.

It's incredibly good for you.

Great for your bone, your skin, your entire body.

So my children have always had whole milk.

Now, what you're talking about is raw milk.

So, you know, when you just go to the grocery store, that's not raw milk.

That's animal dairy, which is great for you.

But there are concerns with that in terms of hormones, antibiotics, and some of the other things that come along with it.

The reason you have a hard time getting raw milk at Rachel is because it's illegal in like 20 of our states, and you can't even sell it across state lines.

And the reason that it's become illegal is because the government has stepped in because there are some concerns with raw milk in terms of certain bacteria like E.

coli, Campylobacter, and some others.

But the reality is there are safe ways to have raw milk, raw dairy.

It's just a matter of where you get it from, just like everything else.

Nutsap is on the outs.

You know, most of the cheese in Europe

is made with raw material.

Raw milk.

Yes, of course.

Most of the cheese in the United States is made with pasteurized milk.

It's extremely rare to find raw milk cheese made in the United States.

And the cheese in Europe is better.

Now, stay with me me because now we're going to go from raw milk to Operation Stork Speed.

Have you heard of Operation Stork Speed?

Stork, like in the baby carrier?

That's the one.

Wait, let me do it.

No, I have not.

Operation Stork Speed.

Welcome back, Democrats on Capitol Hill, pushing back on HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s Operation Stork Speed.

The FDA is watching.

Hold on a second.

Stop, stop, stop.

Where did you get this clip?

Fox.

It's funny they said, Welcome back, Democrats.

Well, she

knows she's supposed to say she should have had a two-beat pause, but she didn't.

No, she actually had the pause.

That's the problem.

She said, Welcome back, Democrats.

And then, yeah, she had the pause in the wrong spot because, you know, why?

She's a news model reading it from the prompter.

Welcome back, Democrats.

Welcome back, Democrats.

Scroll up.

Oh.

Welcome back, Democrats on Capitol Hill, pushing back.

Welcome back, Democrats on Capitol Hill.

Welcome back, Democrats on Capitol Hill, pushing back on HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s operation.

Literally, she didn't have time to preview the script because I'm sure she was doing her hair, you know, or whatever, and couldn't.

I don't blame her.

I blame the script writer.

I hate to say it.

I blame the teleprompter operator.

The teleprompter operator should have put a comma or a new.

The teleprompter operator doesn't

write the copy.

They just move the copy.

Very few.

I don't know any teleprompter operators that actually wrote teleprompter.

They will edit and format all the time.

These days, not the old school days, because it was just paper on a conveyor belt with a camera above it.

A good teleprompter operator will see this.

Well, somebody fucked up.

And I don't blame the reader at all.

She's supposed to read what she put in front of her.

And she did.

Welcome back, Democrats.

No agenda.

Welcome back, Democrats on Capitol Hill, pushing back on HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s Operation Stork Speed.

The FDA is launching the first review of baby formula ingredients in three decades.

They're aiming for more testing for heavy metals and contaminants, clearer labeling on formula.

20-plus Democratic lawmakers now are telling RFK Jr.

he is essentially killing his own project's chances.

They say the decision to lay off 20,000 HHS employees and 3,500 FDA employees, including those who oversaw health and safety research of infant formula, sets this operation up to fail.

Well, here to respond to that is the FDA Commissioner, Dr.

Marty McCary.

Doctor, thanks for being with us today.

Great to have you.

From our voice on this issue, what's your response to that criticism from Dems?

Well, for the last 26 years, we've seen really no innovation in baby formula.

The current system is not working.

The FDA doubled the number of employees here at the agency since 2007 to today.

So doubling the number of employees has not fixed the baby formula problem.

The problem is that the government issues a recipe and companies must follow that recipe to get baby formula out on the market.

And so for 26 years we've seen essentially very few innovative products, almost no changes.

Moms want baby formula without seed oil, without corn syrup, without added sugar, without arsenic and lead and other heavy metals.

And so we convened a group of experts to figure out how we get this right and how we modernize the way we approve baby formula in the United States.

All right.

So here is, and I have two more short clips on this because I didn't know that it contained seed oils and arsenic and fructose corn syrup.

The exit strategy out of this is going back to boobs.

What happened to that?

What was wrong with breast milk?

I'm asking you a question.

Well, I think they're assuming that.

I mean,

I'm assuming that most mothers breastfeed.

Oh, I think they have breastfeeding.

And then they have breast pumps to get the excessive milk, and then they put that, and that's what they use for the beer in a bottle.

Yeah, I think I'm not.

I don't think so.

I'm quite confident that the baby formula lobby has psyoped everybody into believing you just need baby formula.

I'm not so sure.

I mean,

the last time I saw a woman breastfeeding was at a no-agenda meetup.

You see a lot of breastfeeding in the San Francisco Bay Area.

And that would be the place you'd think there would be,

you know, I mean, it's seven.

There should be a survey done.

There's no reason.

If a woman can breastfeed, there's absolutely no reason that you would ever use baby formula.

It's not going to be as good ever.

Now, Tina is texting me, and I'm this, and I was going to say this.

She says some women can't breastfeed.

They have issues with

that or producing enough milk.

And now, I'm not a woman.

If you say you had twins, or if you had triplets, you're not going to be able to handle it.

In agreement.

But to me, it sounds like the majority is using formula.

I don't think so.

Well, you know what?

Neither of us really know.

No, we don't know.

Neither one of us actually know.

But I do know that I wouldn't have assumed what you assume.

I would have assumed the opposite.

Well, somebody, we have to get some stats.

We need an expert.

We need stats.

Called the Archduke of Luna.

Yeah, the Archduke of Luna, lover of America and lover of boobs.

He would be the

clearinghouse.

Yes.

Darling, do you want to come in and be the expert?

She's blowing up my phone.

Look,

I'm not right.

Okay.

There you go.

The expert speaks.

I'm not right.

Well, that ends.

Oh, that would mean I'm right.

Yeah, you're right, I guess.

Where was that again?

You're right, I guess.

I guess.

Okay, you are right.

You're correct.

Sir.

So what did we do?

What did we, sir?

You are right, sir.

What did we do before baby formula?

Did the children just die of malnutrition?

Yes, they just died.

They just died.

Gave them water.

They just died.

They just died.

Or

from what I understand, there's a lot of dark networks who trade baby milk, mothers who have excess and they sell it or they trade it.

It's just a meat.

Look, that's.

No, you know what?

John, I have a theory.

Okay, in a minute.

You're already right, sir.

No, no, but I was just going to say,

if you go back in time before baby formula, formula, which is obviously a mishmash of stuff, why wouldn't you just give the kid cow's milk in a bottle?

Well,

neither of us know.

Neither of us know.

But I would like to know before formula,

what happened?

Were there, I mean, some people are saying wet nurses.

I've heard of that.

Yeah, there's that.

Yeah.

I'm sure that you can, now, here you go.

Tina, who is, who should just get on the mic, actually,

is telling me that Saddle Tramp, you remember Saddle Tramp?

Saddle Tramp listens to the show.

Yeah, you do.

She's a producer.

Saddle Tramp, she could not produce or could not attach or whatever.

And she made her own formula with raw milk.

So there's playing into your theory.

I would just like to know.

If these are new issues, what happened?

Why can women no longer provide their milk?

You know, so just tell me what happened back in the, on the prairie, little house on the prairie.

What did Laura Ingels do?

That's all I want to know.

And now I will continue with the atrocity that is baby formula, which makes me want to breastfeed.

I'm like choking as you're talking.

Full disclosure, doctor, I've got a five-month-old on formula at home.

I do know now a considerable number of moms who are essentially importing baby formula from European countries because it is so-called cleaner.

You know, it has less preservatives, less chemicals.

Is that a good thing to be doing right now?

Well, look, our process in terms of our regulation of baby formula has been frozen in time.

There have been incredible advances in nutrition science.

We had an expert this week at the FDA.

Do you want your children

ingesting nutrition science?

I don't think so.

We had an expert this week at the FDA on our expert panel talk about how, in primate studies, when primates are fed a certain kind of baby formulae, that is with a certain kind of seed oil, their visual acuity was worse on the eye chart.

This is important research.

So we've got to

what

seed oil is blinding people.

Their visual acuity was worse on the eye chart.

This is important research.

so we've got to innovate, and that's what we're doing here.

Okay.

What about expeller seed oils?

Expeller seeds?

Their whole thing is out of control.

Yeah.

Now, I've had this article.

By the way, I'm somewhat in agreement with you because I think that the women of the world, but in America mostly, because we're suckers, have been sold a bill of goods on this idea of formula instead of natural breastfeeding.

I know what you're thinking,

even though I got you to agree with me, but I know exactly what you're thinking because there's been a

move, a propagandistic promotion by Nestle and others who make the

formulas to tell moms, no, no, no, no, this is better because it's formulated.

It's why it's called a formula.

Get it?

Yep.

No, I'm with you.

I'm with you.

So that's all I want to know is before formula, just in 1849, go west, young man, and lady and family.

What would they do?

If they could not produce breast milk, could they?

Was always, hey, no problem, I got it.

Would they have attachment problems?

Did they not have those problems?

What caused those problems?

This is what Operation Stork should do for me.

I want to know more about

Like they had no problem.

Well, raw milk is great from a cow, but now you need innovation in baby formula.

So, Marty here, Dr.

Marty, he seems more like he's working on behalf of big food

than

on behalf of the American people.

Of course.

So, I've had this article for the past

three shows.

No one has done a news

report on it, which

is bothersome.

But it's fine.

Ah, you couldn't find a clip.

No, exactly.

Well, and that makes sense.

I've got a bunch of those backed up, too.

It's like, where's the clip?

Where's the media?

Why isn't this being covered?

Where somebody's actually saying something?

No.

Yeah.

And so I've been reluctant to talk about this because I don't like spiking the ball unnecessarily.

And it's not exactly spiking the ball, but it finally showed up.

No, not yet.

But it showed up in the New York Post.

So that means eventually Fox News will do a story on it.

This is about Ozempic.

Many male Ozempic users are saying since they started injecting the weight loss shot, their penises have grown.

Some say up to one inch.

Oh, brother.

This is like.

Yeah, well, yeah, if you're

a big fat gut, you're just, you know, and you shrink.

Everything's going to look bigger that doesn't get affected.

I don't know.

I don't know.

you this would be something that maybe you should experiment with yeah i don't think so i mean i still want to be able to walk you know no no that's the line the line is big enough

well i did it in my own way you just didn't like my punchline yeah it wasn't as good you didn't like my punchline

um okay now i would just like to for a moment uh

oh by the way no i have one more uh big pharma clip here

uh

when we're talking about new pandemics and the COVID, if we've got the M beta 8128.111 beta pre-release.

You know,

just as an aside, my favorite, I don't have a clip, but it's all over the place.

Every newsletter, McCullough.

By the way, I'm sick and tired of McCullough.

and Pinsky going on TV selling crap.

Yeah, it's a little bothersome, isn't it?

It's very bothersome.

These guys, and then they have their websites and they're selling crap, overpriced

fiber mechanics.

Very expensive.

Yeah, overpriced

everything.

You can get it elsewhere cheaper.

Yeah, I agree.

But

the latest thing floating around, Nex means horrible death.

And Nex Spike, the new Moderna vaccine, means Nex means horrible in Latin.

It means horrible death in Latin.

Oh, interesting.

Have you seen these?

Oh, yeah.

I've gotten dozens of people.

No, I haven't seen that yet.

No.

Oh, you will.

But

the funny thing is, if you do a Latin translation, I mean, if you wanted to have more fun, Nex does mean death

in Latin.

Spell that Nex?

NEX?

NEX.

Yeah, Nex.

Nobody said anything about Nexium, which has been around for 30 years, but okay.

So Nex means that, but if you use Nex Spike, which is the name of this vaccine, and you put that in the Latin generator,

it means don't.

Which is actually funnier.

Yeah, that is good.

No, the only thing this just caught my eye because it's like when you're when you're pushing this, the you know, we're the next spike and the new pandemic and all the, then Netflix comes along and has a new documentary.

Just bothered me.

Native to Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, pangolins are the only mammals that are not the pangolins.

Baby pangolin lives at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, the only place in the U.S.

where visitors can see pangolins up close.

Pangolins are also one of the world's most trafficked mammals, prized for their meat and scales, which are used in traditional medicine.

Poaching and deforestation of their natural habitats have drastically reduced their population and several pangolin species are now listed as threatened or endangered.

Now a new Netflix documentary is bringing long overdue attention to the creatures.

Pangolin Kulu's journey, follows a baby pangolin as he journeys back to the wild after being rescued from poachers.

I don't know.

It just doesn't sit well with me.

Like now, all of a sudden, the pangolin is some endangered species.

I thought they were running around Asia spreading COVID all day long.

I guess not.

Pangolins.

Okay.

They are cute.

So

a little bit about Elon and Trump, which

you can say I'm right anytime you want because it became a huge deal during the show

on Thursday.

It became the topic for at least 48 hours non-stop.

Non-stop.

You can say you're right, Adam, anytime.

Well,

I was always in agreement with the thesis that it was just bullcrap.

You started off by saying it was boring and no one cares about it.

No, I didn't.

I'm not changing my mind about that.

It is boring.

My presentation was long and uninteresting to you.

It was long.

Okay.

You said it was uninteresting.

No one was talking about it.

It doesn't matter.

I never said no one was talking about it because

all you have to say is, you're right, sir.

You're right, sir.

Okay, good.

So to prove that we both were correct,

that this is a game, this is WWE,

this is something they agreed ahead of.

The apprentice and his phony baloney.

He did in the Apprentice.

He created Phony Feud.

All of these, all of these things.

It's all completely set.

And by the way, Elon deleted

his ex-post about Trump being in the Epstein files.

Oh, really?

Well, that's even if it was true and they had a real fight, that's weak.

I want to interrupt, and somebody pointed this obviosity out that we should have caught to.

If Trump was in the Epstein files,

it would have been revealed during the election cycle.

Oh, the Democrats would have used it.

Instead, they had to make up Russia Gate.

They had to make up Stormy Daniels, whether it was made up or not.

They went after that.

Of course, these files have been with the FBI since Trump's initial.

When did Epstein not kill himself or did kill himself?

I don't know.

We've already lost track.

Yeah.

Cash Patel, by the way.

I'll get to that in a minute.

So Mike Johnson goes on ABC,

and he screws up.

He screws up.

He gives it away.

Well,

the president suggested he could cut Musk's contracts.

Obviously, Musk companies rely heavily on government contracts.

Can he do that?

Is that something he should consider?

This is Jonathan Carl.

Yes, I think it is Jonathan Carl.

Yeah, he is such a guy.

He's your buddy.

Oh, no, that's not your buddy.

The other guy's yours.

No, no, no, he's not my buddy.

But listen to what Johnson says.

He gives it away.

Heavily on government contracts.

Can he do that?

Is that something he should consider?

Look, I'm not going to get into the strategy of what happens with all of that.

I mean, what I'm trying to

the strategy?

I'm not going to get into the strategy of all of that.

What happens?

In what case would you say that when it's about this feud, so-called feud?

That's a very interesting catch.

I'm not going to get into the strategy of all that.

Yeah, I wouldn't have caught that.

I heard it right away.

I'm like, Johnson's

strategy.

Yeah.

Obviously, he's awesome.

You don't wouldn't use that word unless there was something going on.

Exactly.

Rely heavily on government contracts.

Can he do that?

Is that something he should consider?

Look, I'm not going to get into the strategy of what happens with all of that.

I mean, what I'm trying to do is make sure that all of this gets resolved quickly, that we get the one big beautiful bill done, and that hopefully

these two Titans can reconcile.

I think the president.

Here's the other thing about that,

not you bring it up.

This stuttering.

This guy is not a stutterer.

No, it's his tell.

It's his tell.

It's a total tell, and he's stuttering like a madman because he knows something.

He knows that this was set up as a strategy for whatever purpose, and he was unfamiliar, and he was, and he's nervous, and he's shaking like a leaf, basically.

All that this gets resolved.

We get the one big, beautiful bill done, and then hopefully

these two Titans can reconcile.

I think the president.

And do you know how you can, I'm going to ask the troll room on this.

And the listeners and producers in general.

You know that this is phony.

When John and I have a disagreement, just a disagreement, sometimes it gets a little heated.

We go back and forth.

Not like we've never gone to bed angry, but

it can get heated.

Mainly, it used to be really on my side.

People will email,

oh,

oh, don't do that.

You know, they'll be tweeting, mommy and daddy are fighting.

Because they get uncomfortable by it.

They feel very uncomfortable.

I guarantee you, no one felt uncomfortable about this.

No one felt like there was an actual friendly relationship, good friends who've been working together that they, that anyone felt like this was so real.

Like, oh, I feel really uncomfortable about this.

I don't think anyone felt that.

That's a good point because nobody, I don't see any evidence that anyone felt that anything was going on other than it being an exaggerated news story.

Well,

back and forth.

It was like a back and forth volley, like an exhibition tennis match.

Yeah.

And the balls going back and forth and back and forth.

And then with some end point inside, I think that this is going to kind of continue as a fake

feud until after the midterms.

This is, I think, a lot of this has to do with the midterms.

Well, I mean, and

now I'm like Mike Johnson.

Here's the report about President Trump, who really sticks it out there.

In the explosive feud playing out in public yesterday between Trump and Musk, the world's richest man warning Trump's tariffs will cause a recession this year.

It's one of the many allegations Musk made about Trump, including posting on X, without me, Trump would have lost the election, adding such ingratitude.

Musk also calling for Trump to be impeached and accusing Trump of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Musk providing no evidence to back up that claim.

ABC's John Carl speaking with Trump on the phone this morning.

There's been reporting out there that the White House is working to put together a call between Elon Musk and Donald Trump to broker some kind of peace.

I asked Donald Trump about that.

He said he's not particularly interested in talking to Elon Musk.

He said Elon wants to talk to him.

He's not ready to talk to Musk, who he called a man who has lost his mind.

Now that

the little element there that I think is important is the Elon dropping the impeachment word out there, because that has to be in play.

It has to be impressed upon the Republican voters who never come out for the midterms.

who would just as soon let the whole Congress slip back to the Democrats.

They have to have it in play that if the Democrats get Congress, the first thing they're going to do is impeach Trump again.

Now, the thing that was

just disappointing is all of the right-wing, alt-right, alternative media, all the podcasters all are saying, well, this is what it was all about.

And Ben Shapiro, Ben Shapiro says, oh, you know, it was really because Trump

wouldn't accept Elon's suggestion for NASA administrator.

And there's more.

Like, I think Megan Kelly, you know, it's like, come on.

This is stupid.

The fact that they are, that Ben Shapiro is falling for this, unless he's been read in on it, that's very possible, but I don't think so.

No, that's a, you know, just possible that more than one of the right-wing broadcasters have been read in and just said, go along with it.

We'll deal with it later.

It's possible.

We've been

doing it.

read in on anything.

I should mention this.

We don't get read in.

We don't know anything.

We are just pure analysts.

We don't know nothing.

We don't know nothing.

You can't put anything on us.

You can't put us in a torture wreck.

We can't tell you anything.

Okay, so this brings me to a portion of a note that I got from one of our knights.

And,

you know, because we've been deconstructing a little bit of the podcasts, which is how people are getting their media.

Our people are getting their media.

And

here's an excerpt from our night's email, which

I really appreciate you said this, but I have thoughts.

It has occurred to me to wonder if moving towards including podcast content in the show might alienate listeners.

In recent months, No Agenda has analyzed clips from three podcasts that I listen to and have highly favorable thoughts about and feel loyalty towards.

One aspect of the No Agenda humor is the disparaging tone used when analyzing media.

This works well for me as a listener because I realize what junk the M5M has become, and so I enjoy it.

It is uncomfortable to hear someone you admire and respect go after someone else you admire and respect in that tone.

So

this is important.

Because we have always, not that we're always right, we have always said what we think and we believe.

We're not read in, we don't know nothing, we're just analyzing media because we've grown up.

I literally grew up with it and you've been in it longer than most people can, can remember.

And we have never, never

thought, oh, let's not mention this.

This might piss off our listeners, which it has.

COVID in the beginning, people were livid.

COVID in the middle, people were livid about the menstrual when we looked at the numbers.

That's not true.

You're full of crap.

You can't read me.

Ukraine, right away, right away.

We said,

this is a psyop.

Here's how it started.

People in Texas were mad at me because people in Texas had Ukraine flags out.

By the way, no longer.

For them, finally getting a clue.

You know, when we give our view, our opinion, our historical knowledge, and our research about

Israel, and no, we do not believe that Israel controls the entire U.S.

government, people get pissed off.

Yeah, why do people want the government to be?

I mean,

it's beyond me, but okay, continue on.

Well, because people want to make sense of their world.

And when things happen that they feel doesn't make sense,

it's

you know, and then you've got to listen.

When you go to the podcasters who are saying this is true,

and that, you know, and they respect those podcasters, and we say no, it makes them feel uncomfortable.

Well, let me put it to you this way: if you go through an entire no agenda episode and you haven't felt uncomfortable once, you should probably consider going somewhere else

because you should feel uncomfortable from time to time.

But what, what job are we doing?

That's called audience capture,

which we get accused of all the time.

We do?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, of course.

How does that go?

They're only saying this for the people who send them money.

Saying what?

For the people who send them money.

Oh, they're not talking against the Jews because they get all that

money.

It's always about the Jews.

Not often.

It's been other things in the past.

Dude, I even saw a donation come in today.

Here.

I'm going to read it ahead.

Ross Johnson, nighting donation.

I haven't donated in years because Adam hated Elon.

Because, no, because of Adam's Elon hatred.

Obviously, he's been short-selling for years.

Adam flips like a fish out of water.

Adam flips out like a fish out of water because of facts on X.

What?

Since when did I flip on Elon?

I've always said the same thing.

All I'm saying is I don't believe that Elon and Palantir are all going to take over the world with their AI.

Grok, like all other AI, is a piece of crap.

Unfortunately, I don't have a clip, but the story about the 700 Indians posing as AI.

Yeah, I've had this story for four shows, and we've never, I almost

got to it two weeks ago.

Microsoft invested $1.5 billion down the drain with these fakes.

Yeah, too funny.

So you'd send off, like, I want some code to do this, and the Indian, the anonymous Indian in the back, they were all coding it up.

And

there was not a single,

not a single piece of AI was actually doing it.

Yeah, exactly.

Which brings me to this clip.

Calling to mind an army of robots from the sci-fi movie iRobot, leading AI firm Anthropic CEO Dario Amade, warned of a labor market bloodbath caused by artificial intelligence that could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years.

Good.

And there's a little bit of truth in what he's saying, but there's a lot of exaggeration, too.

Taming Silicon Valley author and AI expert Gary Marcus is skeptical.

Entry-level workers probably are the most affected, but most white-collar jobs aren't going anywhere that soon.

In a memo shared by Shopify CEO Toby Lutka in April, he said before asking to increase headcount, teams must demonstrate why they can't get what they want done by AI.

Businesses are using AI as an excuse because they want to cut employees, and so they use it as a cover.

Mounting evidence of a phenomenon that's hard to track: of jobs quietly disappearing because of AI.

By the way, did you see that story about the 700 anonymous Indians masking as an AI company?

Was that really big on CNBC?

Were they really like all over that, like hawks?

Like, wow, I can't believe Microsoft got scammed on this one.

I don't think so.

Because they want you to buy, buy, buy, buy.

If the AI bubble pops, there's going to be blood on the moon.

Well, because of the amount of money and the

capitalization and the rest of it.

Yes.

Canada began.

It's not going to pop anytime soon, by the way.

Well, no, because they'll obfuscate all of that.

Here's, so I truly believe because of the AI hype, there will be more jobs than ever.

I've had a lot of experience in the past three months with AI and coding as a non-coder.

It is atrocious.

But if you're a coder, you can certainly use, like, as in you, so I don't want to say coder.

If you're a software engineer, you can certainly use.

Yeah, I don't like coder.

You can certainly use

the large language models to check syntax and to save you some time on things.

But, and yes, of course, you can say, hey, build me a check-in script.

So when people come to the front desk, they put their, yeah, of course, it can do that.

All right.

You don't need to employ a full-time employee to do those types of things necessarily.

But I've talked to enough dudes named Ben and dudettes named Bernadette who say, no, no, this is, it's not, you cannot put this in the hands of mere mortals.

It doesn't do the job.

The only thing we have to be worried about with AI is people's loneliness.

It was actually Rolling Stone of

all publications.

I did not expect this from them.

People are losing loved ones to AI-fueled spiritual fantasies.

People are moving towards artificial intelligence, i.e.

chat bots, let's just call it what it is.

because they're lonely and they want to have interactions.

And these interactions with men, of course, frequently lead to sexual fantasies.

And, you know, it's no different than

the 900 lines back in the 80s.

You'd think that you were talking to some hot, hot chick, and people were paying $2 to $5 a minute.

It was a lot.

Yeah.

People were losing their mortgage money and all kinds of stuff.

And so people are turning to chat bots to alleviate their loneliness.

Actually, it's the same.

Now, I should mention, I never thought about this because I forgot about those 900 lines.

And they always had a lot of advertising on TV.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, all the time.

Back in the day.

It all just disappeared kind of overnight when people started.

When the internet came along.

Well,

I think there was more of the abuse of people, they would.

just get one of these 900 number lines and it wasn't for chatting, but they'd use it for customer service.

And would and people would say be put on hold and they didn't know they were on a 900 line that was charging them $2 an hour and they get these huge phone bills.

I remember thinking people talking about look at this $5,000 phone bill and they'd go on and bitching about the phone bills and that became a lot of bad publicity and I think the whole thing died off because of that more than the internet.

Well the internet didn't help.

Well, no, of course it's not.

The internet didn't help anything.

But, you know, I've so I when I went to the NRB, the National Religious Broadcasters Conference, there was this company.

I don't want to mention the company because

it doesn't matter.

But they were selling artificial intelligence

pastors, basically.

I don't think they called it that.

But you put this chat bot on your website and their testimony was, well, people will tell their intimate

thoughts and spiritual issues to a chat bot sooner than they would say it to a pastor.

And the danger in all this, of course, is that

you need human connection with people.

And this is being,

this is the absolute danger of artificial intelligence is the parlor trick, the chat bot.

And in fact, one of our producers sent me a,

and Meta is way ahead of everybody.

And they're smart because instead of trying to, you know, make a large language model that can program code for you any app you want in the world, they're creating bots, engagement bots.

So one of our producers sent me a Facebook, a screenshot of a Facebook chat group for the Lake Elizabeth families.

So Lake Elizabeth small community, they have a little Facebook group.

And all of a sudden, Lizzie pops up.

And Lizzie is a cute little robot, looks like a robot, you know, about the size of a, I don't know, the size of a small doll.

Hi there, I'm Lizzie.

The group's AI.

I'm a resource here to help you and the group.

You might start seeing me comment on posts if I can find relevant past content so you don't have to dig.

And posts to help you catch up on group activity or even get a conversation going.

Like, this is bad.

Wow.

Yeah.

This.

Well, it's bad from one perspective, but it's effective.

Yes, it's effective.

And people

are very just, I mean, this is your dead internet happening as it takes place.

And by the way, the most underreported story from two weeks ago regarding AI.

Today it's my honor to officially sign the Take It Down Act into law.

It's a big thing, very important, so horrible what takes place.

This will be the first ever federal law to combat the distribution of explicit, imaginary posted without subjects' consent.

They take horrible pictures, and I guess sometimes even make up the pictures, and they post it without consent or anything else.

And very importantly, this includes for forgeries generated by artificial intelligence known as deep fakes.

We've all heard about deepfakes.

I have them all the time, but nobody does anything.

I asked Pam, can you help me, Pam?

She says, no, I'm too busy.

Too busy doing other things.

Don't worry, you'll survive.

But a lot of people don't survive.

That's true, and it's so horrible.

With the rise of AI image generation, countless women have been harassed with deepfakes and other explicit images distributed against their will.

This is the wrong, and it's just so horribly wrong.

And it's a very abusive situation, like in some cases, people have never seen before.

And today we're making it totally illegal.

So, of course, the news media did nothing with this.

No, there was no reporting on on this whatsoever.

None.

For several reasons.

One, it's about AI, and we all think the memes are funny.

Two, it is a project spearheaded entirely by the first lady, Melania Trump.

So we can't give her any props for anything.

But here is the funniest part of it.

So I go to the Library of Congress to read the bill.

Like, that's what I do.

And so this is about artificial intelligence, because that's what makes these things,

creating

really, you know, horrible images, you know, of Taylor Swift.

Well, kids are doing it on their classmates.

And

yeah, this is disgusting.

Yeah, it's kids are the worst.

But it's about AI.

And I'm reading the summary.

The summary is generated by AI.

Listen to this.

This bill generally prohibits the non-consensual online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals, both authentic and computer generated, and requires certain online platforms to promptly remove such depictions upon receiving notice of their existence.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the online publication of intimate visual depictions of an adult subject.

When you start off by saying this bill generally prohibits, generally, I've never seen that in the Library of Congress.

Never.

Separately, covered platforms must establish a process through which subjects of intimate visual depictions may notify the platform of the existence of and request removal of an intimate visual depiction, including the subject that was published without the subject's consent.

I'm telling you, this is a ChatGPT summary.

I've read enough of them.

It's just, it's hilarious.

Well, that's ironic.

So it's very interesting because

the specifics

are intimate visual depictions of an adult subject where publication is intended to cause or does harm or does cause harm to the subject where the depiction was published without the subject's consent or in the case of an authentic depiction was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy, Glenn Greenwald, or a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.

This is a pretty broad bill.

And

I guess covered platforms must remove such depictions within 48 hours of notification.

Under the bill, covered platforms are defined as public websites, online services, or applications that primarily provide a forum for user-generated content.

You know, like our end-of-show mixes, user-generated content.

So

no coverage of this whatsoever.

No coverage.

And I think that's a pretty big deal.

It's the editors.

The editors of the major news outlets are no good.

They're the ones who do the headlines that are misleading.

Yeah.

The editors write headlines.

People in the business know this.

Once in a while you can get a headline through, but rarely.

The editors are, oh, I got a better headline than that.

And they're the ones who, who assign stories, and they're the ones who promote stories into meetings and say, we're going to cover this, we're going to cover that, we're not going to cover this, and we're not going to cover that.

It's the editors of America.

You remember

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said, well, if I'd known that was in the bill, I wouldn't have voted for it.

Yeah, she got suckered.

Yeah, she did.

Well, here's the details about this 10-year AI regulation ban on the states.

There is a section in the Big Beautiful bill that would move to update federal government systems with the help of AI.

So, what could this mean on a state level?

Our sources to answer this: the U.S.

Congress, Catawba College political professor Michael Bitzer, and the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The Big Beautiful bill outlines the initiative in section 43201.

It would grant $500 million over the next 10 years to, quote, modernize and secure federal information technology systems.

But the bill would also ban state-led AI regulations and block dozens of states from enforcing pre-existing rulings.

So, anytime the federal government tells the states what they can and cannot do, that's a component of federalism.

Now, oftentimes, that might get challenged in court by various states.

Right now, there is no centralized federal oversight of AI, leaving states to navigate the ever-changing technology on their own.

This type of regulation is something the federal government has done for decades.

One example is raising the drinking age.

The reason that we have a drinking age of 21 was federal legislation.

Back in the 1980s, the federal government said, states, if you want federal highway funds for your interstate highways, you have to raise your drinking age from 18 to 21.

When it comes to how individual states can respond?

Well, states can go into court and certainly challenge any federal policy that they disagree with.

And so this may be the ultimate

inroad.

If this does get passed within this legislation, some states may say, you know, we want the power to be able to oversee AI in our borders.

We're going to challenge this in federal court.

Yeah, it's going to be a question of, oh, you don't like it?

No money for you.

And I think the states should have the right to regulate that however they want to.

I have mixed feelings about it.

I don't like the idea of

certain situations where you have one state saying one thing, another state saying another, and it becomes a problem because of the, especially anything regarding AI, which is

intimately connected to the internet, which is just, which goes

beyond state lines.

Yes.

Yeah.

Marjorie Taylor Greene would not have voted for it if she knew that was in there.

Yeah, sure.

Can I just take us down a quick path of NATO and

Zelensky and the drones?

Because it's interesting what's happening here.

Then it starts.

I have clips, if I could follow up with you after you're done.

I have some clips on this.

So right now we're

in a situation where the

ministers,

the defense ministers in the EU, well, NATO, really, but let's just say it's the EU.

They are talking about the 5% that, quite honestly, President Trump is demanding from them to buy our military gear.

And so let's listen first to the Swedish Minister of Defense.

NATO needs to achieve a strong ability to deter and defend.

We take note of Russia right now being bogged down in and around Ukraine.

It hasn't been successful so far, but we also know after an armistice or a peace agreement, of course, Russia is going to allocate more forces closer to our vicinity therefore it's extremely important that the alliance use these couple of years now when Russia is still limited by its force postures in and around Ukraine and also that it has been weakened by the war that we do a historic build-up on on our armed forces I do want to convey that this is a historic moment for Europe if we are able to reach five percent by twenty thirty or twenty thirty two, we're going to go up to a defense investment that was at the height of the Cold War and it's necessary for us to strengthen our ability to default and defend and continue living in peace.

Okay, Sweden's in for 5%.

Let's go to Lithuania.

This is Paul John.

No, that was Paul Johnson.

This is

what's her name here?

Dovil Sakhlin, the Minister of

I'm sure I got that wrong.

She's the Minister of Defense for Lithuania.

NATO needs to

be a very good question.

yesterday it was just, you know, informal meetings about that, but today we are going to have a real discussion.

So, my question to my colleagues is that if we all trust our intelligence, if we trust NATO military intelligence, and they say that it's just a few years until Russia is going to be able to test NATO, then what are we going to do?

Ask them for extension, ask them to delay the deadline?

This is not going to happen.

So, therefore, I'd like to hear the answers.

What is then their plan?

Translation: if we don't do it and russia attacks we're going to say hold on we don't we got to get the money uh very smart miss from lithuania but it was ruta short clip

who gave it away

when i heard him i'm like okay i see what's going on here uh he he was asked a question at this minister's summit he's always there by the way

Look, I'm just going to say maybe he has a cold, but he is touching and rubbing and sniffing his nose is like that.

I've never seen him do this, but he now answers a question.

Even you spotted it.

Yeah, and I'm not the guy who spots that.

You're usually the guy who spots that.

And now,

Dave Ackerman, who sent me this clip, he always sends me the

YouTube videos of France 24 and stuff, and I clip whatever I want.

He now calls him White Lines Ritz.

And so Whitelines is talking about hybrid warfare.

Hybrid.

Ah, this is something new.

Two things.

First, when we discuss hybrid, that we realize that that is basically an umbrella for sometimes an assassination attempt on the CEO of a big company, sometimes the jamming of commercial airplanes in parts of NATO airspace,

sometimes even cyber attacks.

For example, and I mentioned that before, the example you know at the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.

So we have seen this.

We have seen the Skip Paul case in twenty eighteen, March 2018,

in the UK,

which was of course also an assassination attempt.

So

these issues

we really have to consider that this is next to the traditional warfare is increasing, that we have to know what is happening, that we have to know how we can make sure that those doing this, if this is Russians or whoever are behind this, that we not only notice but that we don't accept it and that we will find ways to make sure it stops.

And that is what the hybrid strategy is all about.

Yeah, the hybrid strategy, the only thing he didn't mention is the drones, because that has been the change.

This

Operation Spiderweb from Ukraine against Russia, I think, was a big promotional push.

And we'll just a little background.

You heard it in your news overview from ABC.

Here's Martha Raditz with the president of Ukraine, the dancing Vladimir Zelensky.

Let's talk about Operation Spider Web.

Please.

So you believe you did destroy maybe 40 aircraft.

Others say maybe 10 to 20.

How many did you destroy?

We think, we think, we think, and we have our analytics that we destroyed 34% of the strategic air jets.

President Zelensky describing the operation as complicated and clandestine.

18 months in the making so secretive not even the U.S.

was informed.

We have to prepare such glass.

By the way, bull crap.

I agree with you.

Bullcrap.

Bullcrap.

There's no way we were informed.

Bull crap.

It was just a plausible deniability bullcrap.

Making so secretive not even the U.S.

was informed.

We have to prepare such glass.

And we are not stopping.

We have to prepare such blasts.

Because Russia can't because we don't know, we don't really know if they will stop this war.

They don't want.

They don't want to stop the war.

This is the problem.

The key to the plan, Ukrainian drones just like these which the president's office arranged for us to see this weekend, simple yet deadly, packed with an explosive unit.

This is one of many drone production facilities across Ukraine, spread out across the country.

We can't tell you exactly where we are because obviously these facilities are Russia targets.

Okay, so obviously it's very secret of what she's doing and everything there.

Let's just get a little more background on Operation Spiderweb.

The 100 drones used in Operation Spiderweb were smuggled into Russia, hidden in containers with remotely controlled, retractable roofs.

The drones had all been concealed on trucks with Russian drivers unknowingly delivering the payload.

They didn't know anything.

They didn't know what will be in the roofs.

They didn't know just when it will, when, because they didn't know what will be.

That's why they

didn't know when it will be and where.

So

this is, I think, this is important,

very important.

And those drones and the Ukrainian pilots guiding them, knowing the Russian aircraft's most vulnerable spot where the fuel is held, after examining old Soviet aircraft still in Ukraine and on display.

And And we have heard that they knew what parts of that airplane to hit

because you have airplanes here in museums.

Yes.

They knew exactly where to hit.

And they did it exactly what was in their idea step by step.

They did

very clear this operation.

Okay, so now let's talk about this operation.

Let's talk about this operation.

From a podcast, Preston Stewart,

and I'm not going to poop on on Preston.

No pooping on Preston.

He had

Yevgen Karas, the commander of Ukraine's 413th Unmanned Systems Forces Battalion on the podcast about the drones.

And I mean,

the whole podcast, like 40 minutes is great.

It's in the show notes.

This guy talks about the drones, about how fancy, you know, they get,

if they create a drone configuration that kills Russians, they get a bonus.

I mean, it's like a game.

It's literally like a video game.

But then, you got to kind of get into, because he's a Ukrainian speaking English, listen to what he says about where the drones came from.

Some companies start moving.

So

I think

many countries, many companies, they want to bring their weapons here.

They have to

clarify, is it working?

Many companies for many countries want to bring their weapons here to, he says, clarify, in other words, to verify, certify that their weapons are working.

To test market.

To test market, thank you.

Many countries, many companies, they want to bring their weapons here to be uh clarify is it working and uh they use it like assistance to Ukraine.

Uh

some drones we buy from the government, uh some drones still now uh

sent it to Ukraine as a gift.

I know some very rich guys, uh especially now.

One American guy doing very big uh gifts to Ukraine, army.

One big rich American guy sending drones to the UK, the Ukraine army.

Really?

He really

saved many of our lives because he do his job well.

And his drone is not so expensive.

His drones are cheap.

He sends them to us for free to go test market them.

And then right on queue, the Wall Street Journal.

I'd never heard of the JCU.

Remember, we heard that guy, the lieutenant colonel, the propagandist about

drone warfare.

Oh, we're not ready.

We got to get ready.

We got to get ready for the drones.

Well, the Wall Street Journal did a report on the JCU drone anti-drone warfare and how they're training our troops.

The U.S.

military has launched a new school to train American armed forces in how to counter the emerging threat of drones, or what it calls Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS.

The first academy of its kind, the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems University, or JCU, will train about 1,000 troops a year.

Warfare is changing very fast.

This threat right here, this current threat with respect to UAS,

it's the pace of your phone changing.

This footage is from a Ukrainian drone attack carried out against Russian forces.

And this video is from a Hamas drone attack in November carried out against Israeli forces in Gaza.

The proliferation of small, cheap, commercially available drones is transforming modern warfare.

And this has not been lost on the Pentagon.

Colonel Mosef Sauda is the director of the JCU.

The pace of the need is outgrowing capacity right now.

So we're trying to train as many people as possible and trying to grow as fast as possible to fit that need.

Today, students at Fort Sill are training on weapon systems to counter small unmanned aircraft.

The students are also learning how to use another handheld system, the drone buster.

Whereas the smart shooter utilizes the 5.56 round, this is known known as an electronic attack system.

So the soldier is taking this here and they're pointing in a general direction of the target that they see.

And then the soldier replacement operation utilizes various jamming means to interdict that target.

10-minute video on the anti-drone warfare.

President Trump.

This came in two days ago.

President Trump orders restrictions slashed on U.S.

drones.

Executive orders give local law enforcement more power to take down rogue drones.

Okay.

Well, isn't that interesting?

This thing was a

sales video.

The sales video for not just the drone industry, but according to a producer, Boots on the Ground, I am familiar with internal discussion, says our, of course, anonymous source familiar with the matter.

I just listened to your Iron Dome versus Golden Dome presentation on episode 1770 at the 48-minute 30-second mark.

You are correct in your concept, but incorrect in your nomenclature.

Iron Dome is out.

There is only golden dome.

Golden Dome is very broad.

Multiple layers, sea, land, air, space, cyber.

That should draw a better picture of the context of the concept's correct nomenclature.

The golden dome will be against drones.

It is the boondoggle of all boondoggles that President Trump is launching here for the military-industrial complex.

Huge boondoggle.

Name a military-industrial complex thing ever that's not a boondoggle.

Right, but besides World War II.

But when you, yeah,

but when you throw in the drones,

hybrid, baby.

It's this is what Ritter is.

Rita is the sale.

He's the brown shoes.

Hybrid.

Oh, it's hybrid.

We got to have golden dome against poisoning people, golden dome against shooting executives, golden dome against cyber, golden dome against

drones.

By the way, listen again, because you didn't catch it, to the Swedish defense minister, what the Swedish Defense Minister says.

And this is someone who's in the conversations about Ukraine and Russia.

Well, yesterday it was just, you know, informal meetings about that, but today we're going to have a real discussion.

So my question to my colleagues is that if we all trust our intelligence, if we trust NATO military intelligence, and they say that it's just a few years until Russia is going to be able to test NATO, then what are we going to do?

Ask them for extension, ask them to shoot.

Where is this?

To delay the deadline?

This is not going to happen.

So therefore, I'd like to hear the answers.

What is that?

Ah, crap.

Oh, crap.

I cut it out.

My best part.

I did it.

Well, that's why I didn't spot it.

Yes.

She said armistice.

Whether there's going to be a peace or an armistice.

Crap.

I'm sorry.

I blew that one.

Yes, and you were accusatory.

Yes.

No,

I thought I was slim and sly.

She mentioned armistice.

It's going to be an armistice.

There will never be a peace.

It will be an armistice.

After the big NATO summit meeting, after everybody is, all the defense ministers have agreed, they all sign their checks.

It's all going to come in.

There's going to be one big golden dome over America and probably over Europe.

Oh, golden.

It's going to be beautiful.

A beautiful thing.

Let's go meta on this whole thing and say that the Russians are in on this.

Well, here is.

And let's say that the Russians had a bunch of bombers they needed to get rid of because they got to, you know, these are old dogs.

And let's let them blow them up and we can start up our industrial complex and make some extra money for the public.

Whatever they just blew up has to be built again.

Bigger, better.

Oh, yeah.

No, I.

War is a rocket.

This whole thing.

And unfortunately.

Because, you know, they blow up all these,

there's five bases that were attacked, it seems, in the last analysis.

And so they blow up all these Russian bombers.

And the Russians don't make a bigger fuss than they did.

They throw a few more drones and almost killed somebody.

Did you see President?

I'm in agreement with you.

Did you see President Trump with Mr.

Peepers?

Yeah, I did.

Listen to these short clips.

I'd love to have that.

I'd like it to start.

Right now, we would leave a a room.

This is President Trump talking about peace between Russia and Ukraine.

I'd love to have that.

I'd like it to start.

Right now, we would leave a room.

If we knew the work of that,

we'd say, forget about you guys,

forget about trade, right?

We'd say, let's go settle it.

There's some additional fighting that's going to go on.

You know,

he attacked, and they attacked pretty harshly.

They went deep into Russia.

And he actually told me, I mean, I made it very clear.

He said, we have no choice but to attack based on that.

And it's probably not going to be pretty.

I don't like it.

I said, don't do it.

You shouldn't do it.

You should stop it.

But again, there's a lot of hatred.

Yeah, President Trump's saying it's going to go on for a little bit longer.

And then Peepers pipes up

and says something very interesting.

We get satellite pictures of the warfield,

and you don't even like to look at it, right?

It's so

bodies, arms, heads,

legs all over the place.

You've never seen anything like it.

It's so ridiculous.

And this is only by Russian weapons against Ukraine.

Notice what he said.

Oh no, there's only Russian weapons against Ukraine that blow up the people.

That is not happening anywhere else.

Legs all over the place.

You've never seen anything like it.

It's so ridiculous.

And this is only by Russian weapons against Ukraine.

This had never happened with Ukraine weapons against Russia.

Never happened with Ukraine weapons against Russia.

You mean those drones that come in and fly, and the poor Russian soldiers running around, and the drone just blows up on him?

That didn't happen.

Okay, Trump calls him out on just a little bit.

Never.

Ukraine is only targeting military targets, not civilians, not private,

not energy infrastructure.

So this is the difference, and that's the reason why we are trying to do more on Russia, how to stop this war.

Well, in this case, I'm talking about the battlefield, you know, the soldiers on soldiers.

But you could also say that, too, with the cities.

The cities are being hit also.

So it's a terrible, terrible thing, right?

Terrible time.

Oh, you had to course correct.

That's interesting.

Yeah, because Peepers like...

Yeah,

Mr.

Peepers is an idiot.

Yeah.

And then Trump says something very interesting, which, of course, didn't get play.

But now that I think about it, yeah, that did kind of die down pretty quick.

And, you know, I'm very proud of the fact that with India and Pakistan, I was able to stop that.

And those are nuclear powers.

And that would have really, that was getting close to being out of hand.

And

I spoke to some very talented people on both sides, very good people on both sides.

And I said, you know, we're dealing with you and trade, Pakistan and India, right now.

I said, we're not going to deal with you and trade if you're going to go shooting each other and whipping out nuclear weapons that maybe even affect us, because you know that nuclear dust blows across oceans very quickly, it affects us.

And I said, if you're going to do that, we're not going to do any trade deals.

And you know what?

I got that war stopped.

Now, I hope we don't go back and we find out that they signed it, but I don't think they will.

They were both good.

They were well represented.

I want to congratulate both countries.

Because, as you know,

the leader of India, who's a great guy, was here a few weeks ago.

We had some great talks.

We're doing a trade deal.

And Pakistan, likewise, they have very, very strong leadership.

Some people won't like when I say that, but, you know, it is what it is.

And they stopped that war.

Now, am I going to get credit?

I'm not going to get credit for anything.

They don't give me credit for anything, but nobody else could have done it.

I don't get credit for anything.

But I believe it.

I believe you called them up and said, hey, stop that nonsense.

No trade deals.

I believe that.

I believe it too, but I think the good people on both sides of the state IC reference was funny.

That was ballback.

That was hilarious.

That was funny.

That was very funny.

The good people on both sides.

Both sides.

Good people on both sides.

And then during the Peepers meeting, oh no.

Oh, no.

We're talking to China again.

We had a very good conversation with President Xi a little while ago, just before your arrival.

In fact, we just hung up, and they said, you're here.

I said, that's pretty good.

Two great leaders of the world in a very short period of time.

We had a very good talk, and we've straightened out any complexity, and it's very complex stuff, and we straightened it out.

The agreement was: we're going to have Scott and Howard and Jameson will be going and meeting with their top people and continue it forward.

But no, I think we have everything, I think we're in very good shape with China and the trade deal.

We have a deal with China, as you know, but we were straightening out some of the points, having to do mostly with rare earth

magnets and some other things.

So it's reduced trade tariff rates, they remain in effect?

Yeah, we have the deal.

I mean, we've had a deal.

We announced the deal.

And we'll be, I guess you could say, I wouldn't even say finalizing it up, Scott.

I would say we have a deal, and we're going to just make sure that everybody

knows what the deal is.

Okay.

They had a deal.

Yeah, he stumbled there.

I don't think he meant to say that.

He kind of backed away.

They have a deal, obviously, in this case.

Clearly, they have a deal.

Yes.

Something's up.

Yeah.

Probably a counter for the stock market.

There was one.

Going up a little bit.

Yeah.

There was one other thing that I thought was,

you know, we're in the season of reveal.

I mean, season of reveal.

Well.

Well, the first thing of the season of reveal,

this came, this was also in the

let me see where it is.

It was in the Wall Street Journal.

Pentagon disinformation that fueled America's UFO mythology.

Did you even hear about this?

No, tell me.

A tiny Pentagon office had spent months investigating conspiracy theories about secret Washington UFO programs when it uncovered a shocking truth.

At least one of those theories had been fueled by the Pentagon itself.

The

congressionally ordered probe took investigators back to the 1980s.

Remember that the whole hearing, and everyone's like, oh, no, I've seen it.

It's off-world.

And we're like, these guys are full of crap.

When an Air Force colonel visited a bar near Area 51, a top secret site in the Nevada Desert, he gave the owner photos of what might be flying saucers.

The photos went up on the walls and into the local lore went the idea the U.S.

military was secretly testing recovered alien technology.

But the colonel was on a mission of disinformation.

The photos were doctored.

The now retired officer confessed to the Philippines.

Doctored?

Yes.

The now retired officer confessed to the Pentagon investigators.

The whole exercise was a ruse to protect what was really going on in Area 51.

The Air Force was using the site to develop top-secret stealth fighters viewed as critical edge against, at the time, the Soviet Union.

All those TikTok, Tic-Tac videos and stuff, trust me, this is all bull crap.

All of it.

All of it has been to cover up

their own stuff, which probably doesn't work very well.

Season of Reveal.

They didn't reveal much.

What?

That the Pentagon itself was lying about

the news.

Well, it's in the Wall Street Journal, but who cares?

Of course,

the Pentagon was lying.

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

The Pentagon was lying?

Well, yes, gambling.

But it's gambling going on.

And that's to you is the season of reveal?

Wow.

Because it's been unknown in the past that they lie.

About the UFO specifically.

Listen, Joe Rogan's.

Well, that could be maybe it's a meta.

Maybe

they're living with some aliens in the White House as we speak.

Oh, okay.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I should have figured that one out.

That would be your perspective.

I don't get it

while you're knuckling under here to what might be an op.

I don't think so.

Here's another season of Reveal.

A Japanese aerospace company trying to put a lander on the surface of the moon says it has lost contact with the craft.

The lander, Resilience, is owned by iSpace, and this is only the third time in history that a private company has tried to reach the moon.

It's also the first time a company outside the US has achieved this feat.

Resilience is an uncrewed spacecraft

which was carried into orbit by a SpaceX rocket in January.

One.

Keith Cowings, a space expert and editor of NASAWatch.com.

He joins us from Washington, DC.

Now iSpace, the the Japanese uh enterprise, they lost communication as the lander approached the surface uh of the moon.

We seem to uh hear that uh a lot when people try and do this.

Yeah,

it's uh going to the moon is straightforward, orbiting the moon is straightforward, coming down close to the moon, sending pictures is straightforward, but landing is always hard.

They were going kind of fast when they lost the telemetry or the data.

So I really don't think we have a healthy spacecraft on the moon.

We may have a crashed spacecraft.

Right.

So getting this far,

is that getting as far as actually starting to approach the moon to try and land?

Is that standard or is that actually quite an achievement?

You know, the idea is to go to the moon and land there.

And we sort of have, again, the notion of going to the moon and going around it is easier than doing all the rocketry so the thing lands exactly how you want it so

i'm happy that they made it that far i just wish they would have gone a little bit further and a little slower uh 50 years ago we dent it we did it in a in a tuna fish can

how can it be hard

This is second half of show.

Five years ago.

This is the second half of show stuff that we're missing so much.

We never landed on the moon in the first place.

The Japanese make great cars.

They can't even land on the moon.

It's all fake.

My favorite, though, is Cash Patel going on Rogan, spending an hour talking about China killing us on purpose with fentanyl.

Russia Gate was a setup.

Really?

Did you watch the whole thing?

I watched about

70%.

Did you watch the whole thing?

And then he got an episode.

I didn't watch any of it.

I don't really watch too much Rogan.

It was only on for two hours.

The timing is interesting.

And about Epstein, well, you know,

we're going to get there.

We're going to get to be hilarious.

The way they're handling it.

Yeah, no, we have to cover up a lot of stuff.

We've got to protect the innocent.

But we're doing it.

We're going to release an artificial intelligence

movie of

the AI keeps giving Epstein six fingers on one hand.

So they'll fix that.

They can't get this.

It's just a matter of time.

They got to keep regenerating it.

They'll have it.

But what I like a lot, and I know that this is bubbling, and he's been talking about it more and more.

This is really going to come into play.

This is the auto pen controversy.

Well, look, the auto pen, I think, is the big scandal.

Outside of the rigged election of 2020, I think the biggest scandal of the last many years is the AutoPen.

And who's using it?

I happen to think I know, okay, because I'm here.

And I'm not a big AutoPen person, fortunately.

I'm glad.

I'm very glad.

It's an easy way out.

But it's

a very bad thing, very dangerous.

You know, I sign important documents.

Usually, when they put documents in front of you, they're important.

Even if you're signing ambassadorships, or and I consider that important.

I think it's inappropriate.

You have somebody that's devoting four years of their life or more to being an ambassador.

I think you really deserve, that person deserves to get a real signature, not an AutoPen signature.

And I can tell AutoPen easily.

I can look at it like two little pinholes from pulling the paper, right?

You only see the pinholes.

It's real easy to tell about AutoPen.

I think it's very disrespectful to people when they get an AutoPen signature.

Outside, AutoPen to me are used when thousands of letters come in from young people all over the country and you want to get them back.

And, you know, people use AutoPens for that.

You send a little signature at the bottom of a letter.

We have thousands of them.

We get thousands of of letters a week, and it's not possible to, you know, do it.

I'd like to do it myself, but you can't do it.

To me, that's where autopens start and stop.

But I don't think, I don't, I'm sure that he didn't know many of the things.

Look, he was never for open borders.

He was never for transgender for everybody.

He was never for men playing in women's sports.

I mean, he changed.

I mean, all of these things that changed so radically.

I don't think he had any idea that what was, frankly, I said it during the debate and I say it now.

he didn't have much of an idea what was going on

you shouldn't be I mean essentially whoever used the auto pen was the president and that is wrong it's illegal it's so bad and it's so disrespectful to our country I I smell something coming well there is something coming but it's interesting to listen to Trump because he what he said there could have been said in 15 seconds.

He just is the most long-winded guy.

He's going to wear everybody out.

I mean, he gets us to under our two-minute time limit for a clip, but just barely.

But I like the two little pinholes.

You can tell because of the two little pinholes.

That's interesting.

I didn't know about that with the auto.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, he does redo

material.

Yes.

So now we all know what to look for.

Yeah.

But

if those papers that were auto-pen signed were not directed by the president,

can they be declared null and void?

Duo.

That's what they're working on.

That's where they're headed.

They're trying to do that so they can pull the pardons on some of these people.

Yes.

And no.

I think that, no, that's it.

That's it, to pull the pardons on those people.

I think that's it.

That's all that he's going to do.

Everything else is complicated because of Congress voted for it, you know, and they sent a bill.

That's complicated.

But the pardons, yeah.

I can see that's where he's going.

I think he's targeting Adam Schiff.

Pencil neck.

That'll be funny.

Yeah, Adam Schiff is

in deep shit, this guy.

Yeah, California.

What do you expect?

By the way, on the quads right now, protests erupt.

ICE against protests.

And literally, the ICE guys are just standing there in a line.

Nothing's happening.

CNN.

Protests are up for third day.

ICE raids.

BBC.

National Guard troops clash.

There's no, it's not a single.

They're literally standing there.

There's not a single clash taking place.

Standoff between National Guard and protesters on third day in L.A.

MSNBC.

Fox.

House subcommittee to hold hearing on anti-Semitic attacks.

Okay, there you go.

No wonder people listen to podcasts.

Oof.

So I have two clips before we go to the break, which I think is overdue.

Yep.

Because these clips, I put one, this has been in for

probably a month about and these are Andrew Tate warning clips.

But I want to play these two clips one after the other.

And one of them is because it doesn't make sense.

There's something going on.

This guy is an op of some sort.

I've never understood.

I haven't really paid attention to it.

You have the same sense I do.

Something is amiss.

But this is Andrew Tate Arrest PBS.

Prosecutors in the UK say that the influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been charged with rape, human trafficking, and other crimes.

Officials say the charges were authorized last year and are only now being confirmed.

The Tates were arrested in Romania in 2022 and indicted last year on charges of sexually exploiting women.

Andrew Tate was also charged with rape there.

British prosecutors say the two will be extradited to the UK once the Romanian case is concluded.

The Tates are dual citizens of the US and UK, and they deny any wrongdoing.

The whole Romania thing is

odd.

Okay, so we have what sounds like you got two horrible people that are under arrest.

But then explain this second clip.

The online influencer and self-declared misogynist Andrew Tate has been fined and suspended from driving after being caught doing nearly four times the speed limit in Romania.

Officials say the British American National was driving nearly 200 kilometers an hour in a village, despite a 50 kilometer an hour limit.

Mr.

Tate and his brother Tristan face charges including rape and human trafficking in Romania, as well as separate allegations in Britain and the United States.

They deny all those accusations.

Wait, so

this was from yesterday, by the way.

So these guys, all this bullcrap, and they're just floating around, driving around at high speeds and carefree?

Does this make any sense at all?

No.

And how does Romania fit into it?

What are they doing in Romania?

Why Romania?

There's something very suspicious about the whole Andrew Tate situation.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like every one of these things, it's like these are coded messages.

I don't know who they're coded for or why or how, but

the whole 200 miles and that, 200 kilometers an hour.

That's pretty fast in a village.

That's very fast.

That's very fast in a village.

That is fast by any standards.

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

Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the ice federalization.

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

John C.

DeMore.

Yeah, in the morning to you, Mr.

Adam Graham, manager ship of sea busting around feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names and knights out there.

Good morning to the trolls trolls in the troll room.

Stop.

I need more bangs.

More bangs.

It scatters them.

There you go.

Yes, there we go.

There we go.

Okay.

We're back on par.

We're back on par.

2247 at the peak.

That makes sense.

That's about right for a Sunday, isn't it?

22.47.

No, it's down.

Down.

24 is what we should have.

Oh,

well.

Hello, trolls.

Good to have you here.

We appreciate you all so much.

The trolls hang out in the troll room at trollroom.io.

Hey, I got a lot of feedback on

the new podcast apps.

Everyone's like, yeah, man, Apple should be using Podping.

We talked about it on the last show.

Yeah, Podping.

Yeah.

Guess who didn't call Apple?

Why would they?

Hey, I know.

You said it a couple of shows ago.

Not invented here.

It's a mantra of Silicon Valley.

Podcasting wasn't invented there either.

Yet they love that.

Well,

they've assumed, somehow they've assumed that it was invented there.

Yeah.

So everything else is not invented.

I bet if you go, if you stand outside that spaceship and you say, hey, who invented podcasting?

They all say, Steve.

Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs.

Of course.

Yeah, he invented it.

Yeah, probably true.

Yeah, that's what you do.

That's how you do it.

So if you

want to stay in touch with your favorite podcasts, don't be duped.

Don't be duped by the legacy apps.

They're no good.

Get a modern podcast app.

Hundreds of thousands of podcasts are using the technology that updates within 90 seconds of posting, or as some would say, downloading.

And of course, the new hot stuff is the live podcasts.

And there are a lot of podcasts, particularly on the No Agenda stream.

I think all of them use the...

the what we call the lit technology live item tag for live so your podcast app will notify you when they go live this is what you want many more features as as well.

Podcastapps.com.

Thank you to our artists.

Wow.

I guess

we were wrong.

You know, in the value for value model, we have many ways people can contribute and support the show.

One of them is, well, two of them are with time and talent.

And we love our artists who are always helping us by giving us artwork to use for

the album art.

So it's always exciting.

And we've been doing it for,

gosh, well over 15 years, I think, maybe even longer.

We've had no agenda, artgenerator.com.

And we were pretty convinced that Digital

2112 Man was

an alias for Darren O'Neal.

It turns out that's not true.

It turns out to be a real person, at least, unless it's an op that's so elaborate that I don't even think Darren would do it.

Yes.

But he's obviously, he says himself,

he's actually an expat.

He hates the term, but he is.

He lives in Madeira, Portugal.

Yes, that was interesting.

And he is a former,

not a spook, but former guy.

Some guy, I forgot what he did.

Some kind of thing.

Yeah.

And

he moved to Portugal for the cheap

alcohol.

Cost of living.

And he lives in Madeira.

They got good wine there.

I'll give you a Madeira, Madeira.

So he

it seems as if he's using the same tools and has developed the same prompting techniques as Darren, giving us results that are almost identical.

Well, and there it is.

There is the fallacy of AI.

Like it all starts to look, it all looks

like the other one.

It all sounds like it.

And of course, Darren never chimed in

to say anything.

He wanted to take credit for being a smartie

and

giving him more credit than he deserves, which he loves.

Darren deserves a lot of credit, man.

Well, he's a very talented person.

He is.

And he's like six foot nine or something.

Six foot nine.

Yeah, he's huge.

He's like lurch.

Gives you a different look.

Oh, Darren.

I'm Darren.

You rang.

You rang.

We want to thank Blue Acorn for his his AI prompting skills.

I think, I don't know.

I'm afraid to say it.

I'm sure.

You don't know.

Blue Acorn doesn't always use AI.

He's told us that.

This could be just Blue Acorn.

He brought us the artwork for episode 1770.

We titled that one Control Grit.

I did get some people thanking us for talking about Catherine Austin Fitz.

They too are tired of the adult Whitney Webb that she sometimes turns out to be.

And this was The Salmon to the Face,

which,

and I think I copied you on the reply.

Someone reminded me that this was a Monty Python skit, although not with salmons.

I think it was herring.

Well, it was herring, then it was followed by a salmon or some big fish.

Yeah.

Where they were slapping each other in the face with the fish.

So, yes.

But if you're from Holland, you understand

these types of expressions, getting hit in the face with a wet salmon.

And it was a funny piece.

I think

we both went, yeah, yeah, let's do that one.

Let's do Blue Acorn.

Well, it was hard.

There wasn't anything better.

You did like the control grid.

I didn't like that at all.

Let me see what that was.

It was down further.

There wasn't any real killers.

There was a lot of Trump-Elon stuff, which Trump and Elon.

We try to not put people in so often.

And a lot of socks.

A lot of socks.

A lot of socks.

Socks.

A lot of socks.

You like.

I can't remember what the sock reference was.

We were talking about socks made in America.

Yeah, gold Goldtoes.

Yes, exactly.

No, I like the one with Trump and Musk laughing and then the CNN headline in the back, Trump and Musk at War.

But you nix that.

Probably rightly so.

A lot of them boxing.

No.

We looked at that.

Let's see.

Control grid.

I don't see the control grid.

Oh,

look, there's Larry.

Darren.

Larin.

There's Darren.

Larin.

Darren posted, don't fall for the cheap imitations.

I am not digital 2112 man.

Okay.

Cheap imitation.

And again, I'm just looking at tons of AI.

It's sickening.

It's all AI.

There's a piece or two that's not.

It's all starting to look like the piece next to it.

All of it.

It's just.

I'm not seeing that so much.

Oh, come on.

You're a hater.

It's boring.

Let's just face it.

It's boring.

I'd rather have bad mixes for end of show.

The mixes are the mix that you've got coming up is the worst mix you probably ever produced.

I produce nothing.

I just get what people say.

It's probably the worst mix you've ever approved.

I approve everything.

It's user-generated content.

That's how it works.

Sometimes they're great.

People at the end will hear it and they'll probably never listen to the show again.

Adamcurry.com, if you like the piece, tell them that John's full of it and these mixes that we have today on today's show are fabulous because that's what Adam thinks is going to happen.

And I disagree.

Well,

but I could be wrong.

Maybe these are they could be terrific.

Let me just say, hold on, hold on.

Maybe I don't like them for some other, some psychological reason.

Yes.

And I don't like, you know, just people that just clip us saying something and then repeating it over and over and over and over again, meaninglessly with no song involved or any creativity whatsoever.

This says the guy who likes house music.

Who says I like house music?

You like that techno.

You like techno.

You're a techno guy.

You like, you come on.

You like a lot of that techno stuff, rave music.

I've heard you like it.

Okay, so what?

But that's what they're making.

the thing here here's here's that's an interesting approach well here's the thing

so people don't know this if you don't listen to the live show but i'll play the end of show mixes before the show starts kind of a little warm-up after darren and we just get going and then and then

typically i open up john's mic and i say in the morning

And then you say in the morning, and then I do the whole fat lady thing.

So it's, and it's okay if you don't like the mixes.

But when I say in the morning, you say, I think, you don't even say in the morning.

I think we should get rid of those.

We shouldn't play those.

Those are no good.

I should, we should get rid of the whole segment altogether.

Is that not what you said?

Well, I didn't use that intonation.

That's how it sounded in my ears.

Well, everything to you.

But you didn't even say, good morning, in the morning.

Hello.

Hello, partner.

I'm glad you showed up again.

First of all, first of all, you were late.

So I go to the light.

I was not late.

I was not late.

I turned on the, I was clipping for the show, and I was running long, and I just hadn't brought up clean feed yet.

And you're texting like, where are you?

How come it's not again?

In that exact tone.

Let me see.

Let me read it to you.

Yes, it's exactly that tone.

Here it is.

Why are you not online?

Question mark, question mark, question mark.

Three question marks.

How am I supposed to.

Is that why you're not online?

Or is that, why are you not online?

What's wrong with you?

Was it all caps the way you're expressing it?

You know, funny enough, you didn't even capitalize the first letter of the sentence.

Of course not, because it was low-key.

I thought, here's what I thought.

I thought you were using the old instance.

Well, that wouldn't make any difference.

You can come in on the old instance or the new instance.

No, I only have one that I can come in on, which is the new one.

No, the other one still works.

Yeah, but I don't have a link to it anymore.

My point is, I didn't change.

You changed.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

No,

you usually have the whole hour of Darren.

And I like listening to Darren stuff, so I can complain about it.

And

I have to say, he did have a, I think it was Def Leppard doing a version of Traveling Band.

Yes, do you not know that this is on

this is on the No Agenda stream and if you can listen to it there live in real time?

I've done that, but

every so often when I do that, I leave the stream running and it confuses everything because you get this feedback and it's like, can't be

doesn't work.

Thank you very much.

We're done now.

I just want to make the point that the troll room is now, mommy and daddy are fighting.

Oh no,

the troll rooms are a bunch of weenies if they think that.

They're weenies.

This is the mommy gay.

They have some issues.

My point is, they didn't feel that way when Trump and Elon were fighting.

Point made.

Let's thank our producers.

We thank everyone who sends us a financial donation, $50 and above.

We'll thank you by name.

We'll thank you with the amount that you sent us.

And of course, we have our executive and associate executive producers.

A gambit, we made up because we want people to feel good about donating more when they can, when they feel like it, when they've received value that equals the amount they're sending into us.

And so with that, we said, you know what?

What makes Hollywood different from us?

We're a part of the establishment.

We can give out executive and associate executive producer credits.

And it turns out it's true because people can use them on imdb.com.

It's just the same, whether you're a producer on the latest Clooney movie or the No Agenda Show.

You are a producer.

Congratulations.

So here's how it works with these particular titles.

$200 or above, you get an associate executive producer credit, good for your entire lifetime.

Doesn't expire.

We'll read your note.

$300 or above, you become an executive producer, and we read your note.

And again, that doesn't expire.

And we kick it off today with the one and only Sir Dirty Jersey Whore.

That guy, by the way, is also 6'9,

and he's probably 260 pounds.

He's huge.

And he comes to every single meetup in Texas.

He's in Gladewater.

He sends us $1,033.

And he says, I hope this donation of 1033 finds you well.

I reckon I'd like to get one of those highly sought-after PhDs.

The extra $33 hopefully offsets the legacy banking system fees.

No jingles, no karma.

Just John's best.

I'm not buying it.

I'm not buying it.

I believe this donation brings me to baronet status.

I was originally inclined to forego the upgrade because I believe the title to mean small or female.

However, after an informative chat with my local AI chat bot, I found that it's not a diminutive term.

The et, as opposed to et with double T E.

Ending comes from Old French, but it doesn't imply small or female.

A baronet is still addressed as sir, and the title passes down to male heirs, unlike a knighthood, which is not hereditary.

This is a good point.

So when you die, your kid gets it.

Anyways, please ask everyone to come to my meetup in Longview, Texas at the end of the month.

It'll be fun, and you'll get to meet the world-famous Sir Brian with one eye.

Adam and John, thanks for all you do.

It does not go unnoticed.

Y'all be good, says Dirty Jersey Whore.

Thank you, DJW.

We really appreciate that.

Next donation is from Anonymous in New York.

this donation came in in a very small envelope that was completely taped in every which way uh and jay didn't want to open she says there's something in here it's all taped up i can't open

fentanyl i'm gonna get killed so i had to take a knife and rip through the tape to cut it open i said i guarantee there's a big check in here because that's what people when they when they put a big check in the mail they always tape it up

it's like a giveaway and it was was.

There was a check for $500 from someone who

did the right thing.

You want to be anonymous.

We had a complaint from one of our, someone who was a spook that sent something in through Stripe and bitched at us for saying his name.

Yeah,

do you want to send it in cash in an envelope?

This guy did a check, and he had post-it notes all over the check saying anonymous blog.

Anonymous, anonymous.

So we got the picture.

It was a picture?

Oh, no, we got the picture.

I get it.

Yes.

We got the picture.

No, he's anonymous at 500 bucks, so we appreciate that.

But he gets a double-up karma.

Because he had no note, which is always

worth a double up.

Karma.

All right.

Oh, here we go to Ross Johnson.

Read him earlier.

$333.39.

Knighting donation.

Now.

Is he getting knighted?

Is he on the knighting list?

Let me make sure.

I want to make sure we get him.

Knights.

Hmm.

I haven't donated in years because Adam Elon

donation.

Unless he hasn't donated in years, but this is his knighting, he claims, donation.

He's not on the list, so that has to be a good idea.

Well, maybe he should clarify.

Yes.

I haven't donated in years

because of Adam's Elon hatred.

Seriously?

Obviously, short selling for years, which is just funny.

I know that's...

Yeah, I find that to be hilarious.

Adam flips like a fish out of water because of facts on X.

It's not a terrible platform, right?

Dude, if you hate me so much.

No, no, if he's going to hate and donate 330, 330 nights.

That's the best.

That's what you want.

Call out douchebag Fritz for his youngest graduating high school.

Douchebag.

Okay, there you go.

Thank you very much, Ross Johnson.

I have never shorted.

I've never shorted.

He doesn't short.

I've never shorted.

It's not, it's non-trivial.

That he put a big heart at the end, an emoji.

Yeah,

I guess it's all.

Maybe it was just all in jest.

It was

that could be.

Maybe he's just chiding you.

Yeah, that's possible.

That could be because that's what the heart's for.

Regardless,

I forgive him of his debts as I forgive my debtors.

Indy No Agenda Meetup came in from Greenwood, Indiana.

They're always doing a meetup all the time.

They have big, big, big meetups.

Marca Maria, big, big meetup.

So they they got 330, 333 for us.

And this is the Indy No Agenda meetup.

Raffles, Switcher Roo donation for Jason

Soderlund.

Soderlund.

So

he'll be credited.

Yes, he will.

Thank you, Adam and John, for your good humor and perspective.

Thanks also to all the producers who silently work in the background to keep the show going.

I expectedly,

especially, I specially

want to thank Dreb for his tireless effort in putting the chapters together.

Yes, Dreb Scott, everybody, who is no, it's very appreciated and adds a lot to the show.

I went to my first meetup in Indy last weekend.

Oh, this is

Jason writing this.

Oh, they gave Jason the ability.

He wrote the note.

Yes.

Oh, okay.

Went to my first meetup, had a great time, and having won the meetup donation raffle, I decided to add it to my

add to it.

Oh, he added to it to get his producer credit, executive producer credit.

So he needs a dedouching.

You've been dedouched.

And then he has a plug that you'd like, minimal agenda.

If you're looking for it to cultivate a Bible reading discipline in yourself, go to sonsofsolomon.net.

Peace in Christ, he writes.

Jingles request, what's that in your mouth?

Sonsofsolomon.net.

What's that in your mouth?

It's beautiful.

Yeah, it's just kind of a

interesting.

JCD hot pockets, karma, and no karma, just prayers from, and he says, Pax Vobiscum, Jason Sutherland.

Hot pockets.

What's that in your mouth?

Still gets me.

Mike, thank you, Jason.

Mike Rulin in White Salmon Washington 333.33.

He says he wants a double F cancer.

You've got karma.

Don't do that.

Oh, we don't do that all the time, but since he asked me, you've got karma.

There we go.

And you can read the next one says it blows up my spreadsheet.

Trevor Lohman, Redlands, California, $210, associate executive producer.

He says, I've been listening since 2013.

I was donating steadily, but unfortunately lost my health care job for not accepting the vaccine into my life.

Once I could finally get a lawyer to take my case, I learned that the statute of limitations had expired.

Oh, that's interesting.

Hmm.

I wonder what the statute of limitations were on and what they were for.

Seems

pretty short.

Yeah.

In an ironic series.

I wonder what they, oh, he's going to have to explain.

Yeah, I'd love to know.

In an ironic series of events, I'm now a professor of neurology at a Big Ten medical school.

Things have a way of working out.

I would be happy to replace your long-lost brain professor if you're still in the market.

Yes, but are you a Libtard?

Doesn't quite work if you aren't a Libtard.

This is my first donation in five years, and it brings me to knighthood.

Please knight me, sir, Writer of Words, and plug my recent book, God's Eye View.

The book explores the true experiments in neuroscience and quantum mechanics that support rather than refute the existence of the human soul.

Well, send me a copy.

Wow.

That's cool.

Please also plug the Grimerica Show, the Brothers of the Serpent podcast, and my own podcast.

Oh, I'll listen to your podcast.

My own podcast.

My own podcast plug.

Yes.

And my own podcast, God's Eye View.

Oh, I know Trevor.

He actually sent me the book.

Oh, brother.

Yeah, well, he wanted me to write a blurb, but his deadline was too tight, and I just couldn't get through it.

Oh, man, I can write a blurb in two seconds.

You know, I was told this is years ago.

But you know what?

It's like when you send someone a book in a Word document, I find that very hard to read all of the books.

Okay,

I understand.

That's difficult.

But you were going to say, I have a promotion, a

story.

So, and I took it to heart.

And I'm always irked.

I've done a couple of books and I've asked people for blurbs.

They say, well, I got to read it first.

They go on and on and on.

It's like, give me a break.

Okay.

I don't know if I've got total agreement with you.

I can't write a blurb.

I actually considered just writing his blurb without having read it, but I didn't feel good about it.

Well,

so John Brockman, my agent in New York that was when I was doing a lot of tech books,

who's

well connected, he was friends with Alan Watts, the

writer, Buddhist.

Oh, yeah.

This is all the guys that Whitney Webb talks about.

And so he says that Alan Watts told him that he says he never met a blurb he didn't write.

He says, if you asked Alan Watts for a blurb, he'd give you a blurb in five minutes because the way he saw it, it was all publicity.

Just write the blurb.

People see your name, your name, your name, your name, Alan Watts.

And that's a policy that I adopted.

If someone asked me for a blurb for their book, I don't care how crappy the book is.

I'll give them a blurb.

Wow.

Okay.

Yeah.

And it doesn't take long.

There's all kinds of ways you can put things with.

So if I gave you a book right now,

and the book was about uh here I'm gonna give you a title and then you write the blurb you ready because you're gonna write that's what I'm gonna ask you first will you write a blurb about my book regardless of course regardless of what it is yeah here's my book Jesus was a badass outlaw give me your blurb go

a fascinating read by Adam Curry

that's it that's the blurb that would be a blurb I could write a longer blurb or a shorter blurb I need more blurb uh I would say uh

I've never,

this is a book everyone should pick up and read.

It's unbelievable how he's come to these conclusions.

This is something I highly recommend.

Now I just got to write the book.

Yeah, one of the things.

Continuing.

Noah Genda Nation, please search God's Eye View on Amazon and look for the book with the big black hole on the cover.

For those who can't afford the book or are too cheap to buy it, please search God's Eye View in a modern podcast app to find my show.

Four more years, says Sir Writer of Words.

Thank you, sir, writer of words.

We appreciate that.

And good luck with the book.

When it comes out in paperback, I will write a blurb.

I know how to do it now.

Linda Lou Patkin, Lakewood, Colorado, 200 bucks jobs karma.

She's asking for.

And she says, for a competitive edge with a resume that gets results.

Go to ImageMakers Inc..com for all your executive and resume and job search needs.

That's ImageMakers Inc.

with a K.com.

And work with Linda Lou dutches of jobs and writer resumes.

She's gone back to the classic.

Because she knows that we know, that we know that she knows that we know what we're talking about.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You got our money.

Awesome.

Yes.

Eli, the coffee guy, didn't show up today, so I hope he's okay.

He probably didn't get the mail.

A lot of people didn't get the newsletter.

Did it happen again, the newsletter?

You know, and I couldn't send out a secondary

letter again because every time you do that, you lose like 50 people off the daily.

Oh, really?

Oh, that sucks.

At least.

And so

I can't keep sending out two and two and two.

So I'm not sure.

I'm just going to have to let it settle down.

So that kind of sucks.

Kind of.

Yeah, that sucks.

All right.

That is our last donor for his show 1771.

Well, for the executive and associate executive producers, we appreciate you.

And, of course, we'll be thanking the rest of our

producers who came in $50 and above.

And as always, you can go to NoAgendadonations.com and donate any amount you want.

We love the numerology.

Thank you, Sir Dirty Jersey Whore,

Baronet, Sir Dirty Jersey Whore.

And that means you can also set up a sustaining donation.

It could be just a couple of bucks per show, per week, per day, whatever you want to do.

Go to NoAgendadonations.com.

Again, thank you to our executive and associate executive producer.

Our formula is this:

we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

what's that in your mouth

some copyright stuff going on they're making a fuss about uh this

is that with ai copyright stuff yeah yeah good

so i have two clips that are at least somewhat enlightening i don't think it gets us anywhere but

at least it shows that somebody's covering it.

This, I think, NPR.

NPR it is.

The United States Copyright Office is normally kind of quiet, low drama.

Authors and artists go there to register their works, and Congress goes there when it needs advice on copyright issues.

But lately, between the firings and the lawsuits and a highly anticipated report on AI, the office is not so quiet.

Here's NPR's Andrew Limbaugh.

Let's start the story on a Thursday, May 8th.

President Trump abruptly fired Carla Hayden, the librarian of Congress.

The next day, May 9th, the U.S.

Copyright Office, which resides within the Library of Congress, published a highly anticipated report on whether or not using copyrighted works to train generative AI counted as fair use.

Funny thing is, this report was and still is labeled as a pre-publication version.

That part is extremely weird.

In fact, I don't think they've ever done that before.

That's Dave Hanson, the executive director of the Authors Alliance, an organization that argues for less strict copyright laws, which is to say they interact regularly with the office.

Anyway, that report dropped on a Friday.

And then by Saturday, Shira Perlmutter, the head of the U.S.

Copyright Office, had a letter telling her that she was dismissed.

That letter was sent by Trent Morris, deputy assistant to the president.

It seems like there must be some sort of connection between the timing of the release and all of that other drama, but we just don't really know exactly why.

And we still don't quite yet.

Perlmutter has since filed a lawsuit against President Trump, as well as the two people he appointed currently acting as the new Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights, Todd Blanche and Paul Perkins.

The argument being, since both the Library of Congress and the U.S.

Copyright Office are under the legislative branch, the president has no authority to hire or fire people.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

He's just firing anyway, he feels like.

Give him something to do.

This is part two.

But people, broadly, in the copyright world, have been kind of stunned at how much their quiet neck of the woods has been shaken up.

Cristelia Garcia is a professor at Georgetown Law focusing on intellectual property.

Obviously, politically, things are all drama, drama, drama all the time now.

But to have it come to the copyright office was quite a surprise for the copyright community who are sort of, you know, not used to being thrust into the spotlight, generally speaking, even with the sort of AI stuff.

So what about that big bombshell report the Copyright Office published on generative AI?

The one the office put out before it was finalized?

Well, what it said was, in some instances, using copyrighted materials to train generative AI could qualify as fair use, and in some cases, it wouldn't.

It is very even-keeled.

That's Keith Cooper Schmidt, the CEO of the Copyright Alliance, a group that represents artists and publishers for stronger copyright laws.

And he says, the report avoids generalizations and takes arguments on a case-by-case basis, which is reflective of how Perlmutter ran the office.

Perlmutter was beloved no matter whether she agreed with you or not, because she always did the hard work.

She always was very thoughtful and considers all these different viewpoints.

There are dozens of lawsuits going on right now over copyright and AI usage.

While it remains to be seen if and how the legal teams on either side will use this report, this is just the beginning, says Georgetown Professor Cristelia Garcia.

This is just a foreshadowing of the front lines of the generative AI battle.

I think copyright is really taking the sort of canary in the coal mine here.

The warning being: if you haven't been paying attention to generative AI, now is a good time to start.

Your analysis, Dr.

Dvorek.

Well, they told us nothing.

Pretty much.

In three minutes, two clips, nothing.

And I don't know.

I think it's my analysis is like everybody else's.

It's like, I don't know what's going to happen.

Well,

I think there's fair use issues here, but there's a lot of, you know,

I mean, there's a lot of public domain material that the generative AI can suck up.

And then once in a while, you get...

I asked perplexity the other day something

about.

You are talking about it in a manner that sounds like it's a human.

You are on a bad track.

And it was wrong with this answer because I knew the answer.

I was just looking for the details.

Oh, no.

It was wrong.

Oh, no.

And I find that it's wrong a lot.

And I'm not sure why it's wrong because if you re

this is a real problem, I think,

especially people who go to,

and some people do it on this show, and some people do it on the DH Unplugged show.

I've seen this happen on real time, where the person will go to chat GPT or some AI to get a quick answer to a question.

And I find that with the wrongness of a lot of these answers, and if you rephrase the question, it gets it right.

This is a real problem in my mind.

Well, that's because there's no intelligence involved.

It can't understand the concept of the problem.

Well, I know there's no intelligence involved, but the point is it's supposed to be a neural network

in front of the corpus that

analyzes.

The whole key to the success is analyzing the question you ask it or analyzing the prompt you give it.

And then reacting accordingly to the prompt using a neural network that's supposed to mimic intelligence.

And it doesn't work well.

No,

it doesn't work well at all.

Well, no, it works better than you like to imagine, but it doesn't work as well as I'd like.

No, it doesn't work well.

Maxine Waters is now in Los Angeles.

There you go.

She's at the protests.

Oh,

they got a showboat.

They got professional signs, John.

Professional signs at the already.

Well, they've been there the whole time.

So the quad box, everyone is live including the bbc

and i think they're just waiting for someone to kick it off

they're just waiting they're just standing two lines and waiting for somebody to take a shot yeah yeah yeah

to throw or throw a molotov cocktail at so all the protesters are walking past the ice agents filming them live i'm live everybody right now i'm live we are brave we're brave we're standing up against the terror the terror the man the man Screw the man.

It's like nokings.org.

Make sure you go there on the 14th.

We're streaming live.

We're doing it live here on the Insta and on the TikToks.

We're live everywhere, everybody.

Yeah, yeah, we're not taking it anymore.

We're not taking it from Trump.

Tears will come from this.

Someone is going to do something, and then they're going to get beaten upside the head.

I can tell you right now, everyone's waiting for it.

Everyone's glued in.

They're just waiting for

some douchebag, some instigator to to do something, and then it's gonna be messy.

Ugh.

So, okay, on the AI copyright, this is a story from the UK's, which is

could be concerning, I guess, if you don't read your contracts from 10 years ago.

You can do it when you be in QIT.

Her face may not be recognizable, but Gayan is the voice behind adverts for some of Britain's biggest brands.

Please lynch when alighting from this train.

Now she's the unbeknown AI star announcer on board Scotland's trains.

I feel violated.

I feel completely violated.

My voice is my job and I should be allowed to know who I'm working with and what I'm working on.

But more than that, as a human being, I should know who owns my voice data.

So just to be clear, you didn't know that you were going to be the voice of Scotland's railways.

No, I had no idea.

I literally didn't know.

This can all be traced back to a job Gayan carried out during Covid with the Swedish firm Read Speaker, recording scripts for the visually impaired.

It was before artificial intelligence was really a thing.

Fast forward a few years, her voice has been sold and transformed into a robot.

Unions representing the creative industry claim this is exploitation and points to wider AI concerns.

I feel burgled.

I feel like my data has been burgled.

I don't know who holds it.

I don't know what they're doing with it.

I've no control over it and I don't consent to it.

Do you know I'm the voice of Apple for Singapore?

Read Speaker claims there is an agreement in place and all issues have been addressed.

Scott Rail has no plans to stop using the voice.

A story of consent, contracts, and concerns in an increasingly AI-focused world.

Well, that's no good.

Can you imagine that?

I mean, being a voiceover artist is tough in general now.

Yeah, you don't make a lot of money.

No.

No.

So

they bought her voice.

It was sampled by well, if she signed it over.

Yep.

This is like people who sign their rights over when they do writing and they sign all their rights over to some publisher.

And then it turns out.

And then it turns into a cloony movie.

Good.

Yeah.

And then you feel really bad about it.

Hey, here's something I've been wondering for a long, for many, many years.

If you are running for the governor of New York,

Why do they call it a gubernatorial race?

When does the B come into governor?

That's a very good question.

Does it borderline on a great question?

No,

there's no such thing.

Can't you say a governor's race or governatorial?

Why is it gubernatorial?

Like, if you always make like goober, like a bunch of gubernators.

Yeah, that's what there it is.

You just answered your question.

Because a governor is a goober.

Well, there's a lot of goobers, and this is, you know, so they're debating right now.

And of course, Cuomo is trying to come back.

Yeah, but he's coming back as a mayor.

I thought it was for the governor.

No, no.

Oh, this is the governor.

Cuomo wants to be mayor of the United States.

Ah, well, my question is still valid.

No, the question about gubernatorial is, yes.

Well, this is about the mayor then.

I'm sorry.

For some reason, I mistook it for the gubernatorial race.

So this is they're doing the debates, and Cuomo's in the debate.

And this, by the way, goes against everything that I just said earlier about people leaving the show because, you know, we pander to the Jews for the Jew money.

Yes, where's our Jew money?

We may have gotten some spook money today, but we didn't get any Jew money that I can tell.

It's no good.

Here is

an interesting question posed to the candidates for mayor of New York City.

The first foreign visit by a mayor of New York is always considered significant.

Where would you go first?

That's right, Ms.

Adams.

First visit, I would visit the Holy Land.

Okay, Ms.

Lander.

Mr.

Lander, sorry.

Boy, what Trump is doing to Canada, there's a lot of opportunities for us to partner better with them.

Ms.

Ramos.

I'd love to meet Claudia Scheinbaum, but I'd probably head to Colombia to my parents' homeland.

That was a good answer because you throw in a little bit of Jew there with Scheinbaum, but you're going to go to Colombia.

That was good.

Mr.

Meyer?

I am a proud son of two Caribbean immigrants.

I represent a robust Caribbean constituency.

I'd like to go to the Caribbean as my first visit.

You're off.

You're not going to win.

Mr.

Cuomo?

Given the hostility and the anti-Semitism that has been shown in New York, I would go to Israel.

Very good.

Mr.

Tilson, where would you go?

Yeah, I'd make my fourth trip to Israel followed by my fifth trip to Ukraine to invariably.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

he's doubling up.

He's going to go for his fifth trip and then to Ukraine, yes.

Mr.

Tilson, where would you go?

Yeah, I'd make my fourth trip to Israel, followed by my fifth trip to Ukraine, two of our greatest allies fighting on the front lines of the global war on terror.

Mr.

Momdani.

I would stay in New York City.

My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five boroughs and focus on that.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Mr.

Mamdani, can I just jump in?

Oh, I want to jump in.

Would you visit Israel?

No, she said.

She said, you.

She said, would you.

Would you?

She said, Would you?

Across the five boroughs and focus on that.

Mr.

Mamdani, can I just jump in?

Would you visit Israel as mayor?

I will be doing, as the mayor, I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform.

Because ultimately, we need to focus on delivering on their concerns.

And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel?

I believe Israel has the right to exist.

Not exactly.

As as a Jewish state,

as a state with equal rights.

He won't

say it has the right to exist as a Jewish state.

And his answer was: no, he won't visit Israel.

I said that's what he was trying to assist.

No, no, no.

Unlike you, I answered the question very directly.

And I want to be very clear: I believe every state should be a state of Israel.

He wouldn't say it.

He wouldn't say it.

He's no good.

Oh, man.

Wow, what a bunch of rubes.

New York is done.

That was pretty.

I thought that was hilarious.

Oh,

you just won the Super Bowl.

Where are you going?

Israel.

Israel.

Miss America.

You just became the new Miss America.

Where are you going?

Tel Aviv.

Oh, it's hilarious.

Well,

they could have gone to visit a Bulgarian old folks home because all hell's breaking loose there.

Oh, what's going on?

This Bulgarian old folks horror.

Bulgarian officials say they've rescued 75 residents from two illegal care homes where they were allegedly subjected to brutal mistreatment.

They said the victims were beaten, bound, and sedated, with doors and windows locked.

Justice Minister Georgi Gyorgiev described the facilities in the eastern village of Yagada as houses of horrors.

Bulgaria has a shortage of good care homes for older people.

Oh my.

Do they have pictures and video?

What's the horror?

Beaten beaten.

They take the old folks and they beat them.

Wow.

Bulgaria.

What are you doing?

Is there a color revolution going on in Bulgaria?

Is there an election coming up?

No, no, nothing.

Turns out that's what they do to old people in Bulgaria.

They beat them.

It's coming to California soon, I hear.

Yeah, it could be.

The five-minute warning, you get one or two more clips.

It's all up to you.

Go.

Well, okay.

I have this.

Every once in a while, there's one of these stories that comes up, and it's always the same kind of a thing going on.

It's a very suspicious story and they're gonna they're gonna these are all seem like uh spooky stories because they it's like you they got somebody and you got to debrief them or you've got to get them out of the country or you got to you got to rescue them or somebody some like it's like a CIA guy and it always goes through and I have no idea why the detainment centers in Louisiana.

Have you noticed this Louisiana thing keeps cropping up?

No.

Play this Russian.

This is the Russian frog

smuggler.

Yes.

A judge in Vermont today ordered the release of a Russian-born scientist and Harvard researcher saying she was being unlawfully held by immigration authorities.

Kasenia Petrova, who recently spoke to NewsHour from detention, still faces a criminal charge of smuggling frog embryos after she failed to declare them at Boston's Logan Airport in February.

Petrova says she uses them for research.

An immigration officer stripped Petrova of her visa and she was sent to an ICE facility in Louisiana.

At a hearing today, Judge Christina Reese said, quote, there does not seem to be either a factual or legal basis for the immigration officer's actions.

Petrova is expected to face a bail hearing next week on the smuggling charge.

Okay, well, that is interesting.

I happen to know a couple of people here in Fredericksburg who moved recently from Louisiana

and they grew up there, so they may have some inside information for me.

I mean, there's ICE detention centers all over the place, but these super suspicious-sounding stories like this one: Russian woman, a professor teaching, brings in some embryos.

I don't know how they found those, but they did.

There's like a setup.

And they move her to this facility in Louisiana.

It's always Louisiana.

They do ask at

customs, you know, do you have any plants, animals, or fruit?

And if you lie, then you get detained.

Yeah.

But who's gonna, how are you gonna

you could?

It doesn't make sense.

This whole story just makes no sense.

I don't see how anybody can't easily take some frog embryos and stuff them in a Coke can and take it through customs.

I mean, or guys, you can't get through because it's got liquid, but I mean, there's ways.

If you're smuggling frog embryos, it seems to me you know what you're doing.

Hey, hey, ho, ho.

Bull crap.

Frog embryos have got to go.

Hey, hey, ho, ho.

I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.

Imagine all the people who could do that.

Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

Yeah,

on no agenda

in the morning.

Rest assured, I am on the case of the Louisiana spookiness.

I will get answers.

Several people I know here have grown up there in the bayou, in the swamps.

We have swamp people here.

They will know what's going on.

And we have some just horrible, non-musical pieces of crap coming up, known as the end of show mixes.

You don't want, I mean, why are you even still listening?

You don't want to be exposed to that.

It may hurt you.

But before that, we have the most wonderful tip of the day by John C.

Dvorak.

Now, this, the tip of the day is its own entity.

You could, this should be a spin-off show.

Tip of the day show.

Tip of the day show.

I'm telling you.

Now, the problem is you'd have to do it every day, which, you know, because it's tip of the day.

Yeah, otherwise it wouldn't be a tip of the day.

But I guarantee you, podcast success.

I'm thinking a podcast award.

Maybe, maybe even a Webby.

Hey, which reminds me, I saw, I was looking at somebody's

wiki page.

I can't remember who it was, but they won.

It was one of just the

Rando podcasters, and they won a podcasting award from some operation.

It was listed on the wiki page for best audio sound.

Oh, man.

That's what I said.

How many times do I have to say, I'm good to go on the Pod Father Podcast Awards, and you just dropped the ball on me?

Oh, I'm going to have to pick it up.

I'll pick up the ball.

Dame Rita, meanwhile, picked up the ball.

She's moved way up to the top of the list here.

She's in Sparks, Nevada.

And she came in with $135.

And she says, thanks for the tremendous value.

And spin down.

I like that.

We're spin-downers.

Spin downers.

Paul Rouge.

That could be perceived as negative.

Spin downers, downers, man.

I think that might hurt the show.

Spin down.

That might hurt the show.

We can't use that.

No, what it's going to hurt the show is those mixes.

Paul Rouge, R-U-U-G-E.

I think that's how it's pronounced.

He's in Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

He came in with $100.

Kellen Prince.

That's a nice name in Hollywood, Florida, $100.

Baroness Knight, she's in Edmonds, Washington.

She's up to anti-she's always a $50 donor, and she's up there to $100.

So that's nice.

Kevin McLaughlin shows up at 8008.

He's the Archduke of Luna, lover of America, lover of boobs.

And he says he's got a PSA here.

He says, Summertime's the perfect time to show off your melons, ladies.

No disagreement here.

No, the no agenda agenda shows.

I will say that our, I

track this stuff.

The number of people, our female listeners

has been

down.

It's down.

It's down.

I think

we're turning to a couple of sexist jerk-offs as far as a lot of the ladies are concerned.

Well,

either that or they...

We know Tina's listening because the minute we're talking about

right away, it's like, you're wrong.

You're wrong.

You know what you're talking talking about.

Jan

Brungink.

Brugink.

Brugink in Schmilde,

Netherlands.

He came here 8008.

Very famous.

Very famous place.

That's where the Moluckers hijacked a train in the 70s and killed it.

Oh, the Moluckers.

Yeah, God.

Yeah, the Moluckers.

Maybe he wants some jobs, Karma, for his son, Jurjan.

Is that right?

Yurjan.

Juryan.

Urian.

And that would be

at the end, if you can remember.

Why am I

Christian?

Oh, another Dutch.

Pretty good.

Christian sir.

Christian,

and it's Leiden.

Very good.

8008.

And he has a little note there.

He's just got it's in green.

He came in through

Stripe.

Stripe.

And he says, thanks for sending some rain over to Leiden.

I know he did.

And he says, I sent boobs in return.

This is a good combination, if you ask me.

He says, Adam, next time, you know, next time it starts hailing golf balls, put a drum kit outside.

Let me tell you, if you look at Tina's Insta,

I think she's Tina Curry, 33,

you can hear what it sounds like.

And so we actually, it turns out we have a lot of damage we didn't know about.

The garage doors filled with pits.

Little pits, little dents, dents.

Oh, dense.

Little dents.

We have our screen.

I like the idea of putting a drum kit outside.

We have a...

Oh, it would go right through the skins.

We have a screened-in porch.

We don't go out there much when it's 95 degrees.

Completely, all the screens pelted with holes.

Oh.

Yep.

We've got damage.

Damage stinks.

We've got damage.

Well, you've got insurance.

We are not going to claim this for insurance.

You know what will happen?

We'll get kicked out of our insurance.

Stephen Hatto in St.

Petersburg,

Florida, great little place, $75.

Zachary

Metzinger in South Lake, Texas,

$66.73.

Chad Hewitt in Folsom, California, $66.40.

And he says, yeah, go blue acorn.

Huh.

Stephen Schumach in Xenia, Ohio, 6580.

David Cox in Austin, right down the street from you, 63.25, or where you used to live.

Grayson Insurance, Grayson Insurance in Aurora, Colorado, 6006.

Eric Hulse in Katie, Texas,

or Katie, Texas, 57.98.

Katie.

It's Katie, Texas.

I'm loving Katie.

Manuel Medeiros in Tracy, California, 5798.

Quit your belly aching donation.

Wow, it worked.

So 57.98 is a belly aching donation.

I guess so.

Sir,

Hilton.

He's Hilton.

Hilton.

In Salton.

He's in Salton, Georgia.

He wants 55.10 and he wants some karma jingle.

I I don't know what that means.

But we'll put some karma at the end.

Anonymous, 56 or 55.

Nancy Murphy in San Bruno, California, 55.

And there she is again with another 55, and she says here's another donation.

The new sad puppy made me do it.

I got two complaints about this new sad puppy.

Troy Funderberg.

The complaints were the sad, somebody sent me this picture to use.

It's a sad puppy, sad looking in a dryer,

which you'd have to assume is pre-suicidal or something.

This goes to my theory that people don't care what you do to other people, but man, you do something to a dog,

it's the end of you.

So the dog's in the dryer, and somebody said, one of the producers says, that's in poor taste.

Scolding me for it.

Nancy Murphy came in twice.

Okay, well, she's actually 110.

Trey Funderberg in Missoula, Montana, 55.

Troy, Troy, Troy Funderberg.

Troy, I always do that.

Okay, here's another Dutchman.

Rolene von der Haar.

It's probably a Dutch girl in Holland Schaefer.

It's a girl.

Rolene.

Holland Schafeldt.

52.

In Holland Schavelt.

5272.

52.72.

Brittany Miller, also 52.

We got women.

They're women right here.

Look at these women.

Trinidad Kelly.

Yeah, those are the two.

Nancy, Rolene, Brittany.

Come on.

Christian Hartsock,

Burbank, California.

He's one of our regulars.

5194.

I did a, I helped.

He substituted on OAN for Chanel over the weekend.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

He's apparently a writer for OANN, you know.

Oh, Won American News?

Yeah.

Oh, cool.

Hey, Roger.

And I did a hit.

Oh, you did a hit on OAN?

Yeah.

Well, how come you didn't tell me?

I just did.

Yeah, but I mean, did it go in advance?

No.

It's because you do so many podcasts and you never mention anything to me.

And then all of a sudden, it shows up in a donation note.

And I go, What, what is this?

So I'm doing the same.

I'm on the move.

John's doing PR, everybody.

He did a hit on OAN.

All for Roger Palich

in Norcross, Georgia, 5510.

He needs a dedouching.

You've been dedouched.

So

Zia Thomas in Ankini, Iowa, 51.

And now we got the $50 donor's name and location.

Starting with not a lot today.

Jacob Rotmatrommel.

Rotrommel in Decatur, Illinois.

And she's...

Well, it was St.

Bernard's or in Switzerland.

Yes.

That's nice to have a Swiss donor.

That came in Stripe.

International

producers.

Stripe.

Stripe is the way to go for international donations.

Cal Rae Jackson in Watertown, Tennessee.

And last on our list is the good old Jason DeLuzio in Miami Beach, Florida.

I want to thank all these people for show 1771.

Yes, indeed.

Thank you all very much.

And again, thank you to those donors who came in and supporters and producers who came in under $50.

We never mentioned them for reasons of anonymity.

And of course, you can set up a sustaining donation at any time, any kind of donation, any amount.

It's value for value.

Whatever you get out of the show, send it back to us and value them.

that's just fine for some people five dollars is a lot for some people 500 is a lot or not it doesn't matter just as long as you support us at some point somehow to give back to the show that's value for value

again thanks to our executive and associate executive producers for episode uh wow what is it episode 1771 of palindrome and strangely enough For the first time in as long as I can remember, we do not have a single birthday to celebrate.

When has that happened?

Has that ever happened?

Yeah, it has.

A couple times, actually.

I don't recall.

Well, so no birthdays.

So no happy birthdays to you.

However,

title changes.

Turn and face the slaves.

We do have a couple of title changes.

We've got Sarah Dirty's Jersey Whore, as you heard earlier, our top executive producer today, who becomes a baronet.

Dame Nancy of the Confused also changing her title today, becoming a baroness.

So yes, very, very beautiful.

And Sir Dirty Jersey Whore also gets his PhD.

We have that special promotion which has come back for a limited time, limited time only.

Go to noagendarings.com, Dirty Jersey Whore, let us know where to send your PhD and if you really want Sir Dirty Jersey Whore on it or maybe your actual name so you can use it to impress your friends and the neighbors.

And we have one night.

So I'll grab my blade here if you can.

Here's the same old one night blade I've got.

Oh, it's nice.

It's sharp.

As long as it's sharp, it's fine.

Trevor Lohman, it's taking you a bit, but we're happy to see you here at the podium for the dames and knights of the No Agenda Roundtable because you have supported the best podcast in the universe in the amount of $1,000 or more.

That means I get to pronounce you, sir, as Sir Writer of Words.

And for you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Red Boys, and Chardonnay.

We've got some Diet Soda and Video Games, fish pie and fellatio, harlots and haldahl.

We've got redheads and rise, beers and blunts, Rubiness, women, and rose, geishas and sake, vodka manila, bongheads and bourbon, sparkling sidear and escorts, ginger, ale and gerbils, a favorite in Hollywood, breast milk and pablum, and as always, the mutton and the meat here at the round table for you.

And you also can go to noagendarings.com.

Anybody can go there and take a look at them.

And it's a cumulative, so you can donate $5 a month if you want.

People become knights and dames.

It's really cool.

And this ring is a signet ring.

It's uh, it looks very, very cool at the No Agenda Meetups.

And so, for that reason, we give you a couple of sticks of wax you can melt down and stick your signet ring right on there and let everybody know that this is a very important correspondence.

And as always, it comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by yours truly, Adam and John.

No agenda meetups.

Yeah, everybody, the No Agenda Meetups, another great way to send value back to the show and to Gitmo Nation in general by organizing a No Agenda Meetup.

You can go to Noagendameetups.com, another fantastic website we never built, done in the value-for-value model.

Thank you, Sir Daniel, for that.

We got a report from Brussels, the big Brussels meetup.

It seems like Sircastic the Nomad was there by himself.

He did get one RSVP from Alex, who lives in Brussels.

Unfortunately, his two girlfriends from from Colombia arrived early in Brussels, and he decided to stay home with them.

And he sent me a picture, and I think he made the right choice.

A picture of Alex with his two Colombian girlfriends.

Doesn't sound suspicious.

He brought the girlfriends to the meetup.

I think so, too.

But he didn't.

Big Tom's Bar was a great venue.

Unbeknownst to me, it is a NATO hangout bar.

Lots of spooky people drinking Belgian beer.

I'm always amazed what a drunk soldier will tell you.

Do tell, sir Castic the Nomad.

We'd love to hear more.

And Sir Dirty Jersey Whore, as you recall on the last show,

excuse me, for his meetup promo, the Texas, the East Texas No Agenda meetup,

we excoriated him for sending in a two-minute

meet-up promo.

You remember this?

You excoriated him.

No, you did too.

You said it should be 30 seconds tops.

I did say that.

He sent us not in the form of an excoriation.

Well, he sent us a new one.

It is 33 seconds exactly, which I think is valid.

That's okay.

And he put up with that.

And listen to this.

Hey, there, freedom lovers and media deconstructors.

Are you tired of screaming at the screen alone?

Wish you had someone to compare your shrunken amygdala with.

Well, do we have a meetup for you?

It's all going down Sunday, June 29th at 3:33 p.m.

in Longview, Texas.

Go over to noagendametup.com and let us know you are coming or just show up.

Again, that's June 29th, 3:33 p.m.

Longview, Texas.

Be there or be labeled a conspiracy denier.

Common side effects may include mild dizziness, nausea, spontaneous lactation, sudden urges to gamble or engage in risky sexual behavior, sleep driving, sleep eating, sleep shopping, uncontrollable laughter, explosive diarrhea, anal leakage, blue-gray skin discoloration, hallucinations, black hairy tongue, unexpected hair growth in unusual places, purple urine or sweat, permanent loss of taste or smell, false positive drug test, pain eyelid enlargement, and in rare cases, existential dread.

Ask your conspiracy therapist if this meetup is right for you.

Brought to you by Dana Brunetti.

That sounds like a Fremont drag strip commercial from back in the 60s and 70s.

That was outstanding.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday is all that was missing.

33 nitro-burning funny cars.

That's right.

Well, on Sunday, this Sunday, the fourth annual Louisiana Crawfish Boil kicks off at 2 o'clock at Shaw Acres.

That's Prairieville, Louisiana.

Hey, Mary Moon organizing.

Let us know what you know about the ICE detention centers.

It's a little spooky down there.

By the way, it is an RSVP invite.

I think it's at her home, so you've got a

check-in to be checked out.

By the way, to interrupt you in the midst of this, I have to say the Jersey Dirty Whore

quickie was well done.

Well done.

Well done indeed.

The Northern Wake Freedom Southern Slam-O-Wamo, six o'clock on Thursday at Hoppy Endings in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Make sure you check that out.

Coming up next week, the 13th, Copenhagen, Denmark.

We have Lazarus Vaard in Kuhlenburg.

I'm just doing the international ones.

Comox, British Columbia.

That's Candinavia.

17th, Cannes in France.

We've never had good luck in Cannes.

No one ever shows up to those meetups.

So please, please give it a shot.

And on the 19th of September, we're way ahead now, Tilburg,

Nord Brabond in the Netherlands.

So go to noagendameetups.com.

There's always a cool meetup taking place.

It's all around the world, as you can tell.

And when you do a meetup report, make it fun, make it interesting, try and make it short, and always include your server and tip them well.

Noagendametups.com.

If you can't find where near you, start one yourself.

It's always a party.

Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.

You wanna be where you won't be triggered or hell lame.

You wanna be where everybody feels the same.

It's like a party.

All right, now to make up for the end of show mixes, we'll have a very snappy ISO for you at the end, which will just because that truly is the last thing that people hear.

So this kind of discredits your theory.

It makes people happy.

They're like, oh, this was great.

I really loved hearing that end of show ISO.

I feel good about the show.

Doesn't the end of the end of show ISO come before the mix?

No, it comes at the very, very end of the show.

Have you ever listened to the podcast?

No, I never listened.

I have two.

Okay, probably don't like that one.

But I kind of thought this one was okay.

This doesn't make any sense.

I'm freaking out inside.

You laugh through it.

This doesn't make any sense.

I'm freaking out inside.

I'm freaking out inside.

Oh, God.

I liked it.

If you took that part off, it would be good.

This doesn't make any sense.

Like that?

Yeah, I think

that beats mine.

Well, let's listen to yours.

Thanks for spending your weekend with us.

Wow, that's AI if I ever heard one.

Nope.

Really?

Thanks for spending your weekend with us.

It's that black chick, whatever her name is, that does the weekend shows with Scott and the other people.

No, that's a real person.

Oh, you like mine better?

This doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, I like it.

Well, we'll keep that one, and we will get the weekend kicking now with John's tip of the day.

Great masks for you and me.

Just the tip with JCD

and sometimes Adam.

Created by Dana Bernetti.

All right, this is the time of the year to plant.

Is it now?

Not in Texas.

Well, actually, this would be fine in Texas too.

This is a site.

It's called the Chili Pepper Institute.

And it is run out of New Mexico State University.

And they have, they sell

over a hundred varieties of hot chilies.

The seeds.

They're a little, I think they're pricey.

The seeds are

pricier than I like, but it's five bucks a pack.

But there's some of the more, lots of scorpion peppers, all kinds of screwball peppers you've never had.

You don't see them, not commercial, and they're there, and they claim that the seeds are all very viable.

So you plant these seeds, they're going to grow.

And I would recommend planting some chilies.

Chilies.

And

they have all of them.

I'm sorry, they don't have all of them because there's thousands, but they have over 100 varieties, including a bunch of scorpion peppers.

They don't have the Carolina Reaper, for example, I don't think.

That must actually copyright the Carolina Reaper.

Well, that's a tough one.

But

I finally found

a website that

you can write down.

CPI for Chili Pepper Institute.

NMSU, New Mexico State University, dot edu.

And just click on the store, online store, and knock yourself out.

What is the appropriate or best way to plant your chilies?

They have all kinds of

information on the site.

They grow like a tomato.

If you know how to grow a tomato planting footage, you can get those little seedling pots

and put them in the window and get the thing started.

Once it gets started, you got it made.

So you grow it up indoors.

You grow it indoors, not outdoors.

You could.

No, I would start it indoors and I would take it outdoors.

Or you could just plant it outdoors if you can keep it so it germinates.

You got got to make sure it germinates.

Make sure you germinate your peppers, everybody.

There it is.

Once again, a fantastic John C.

Dvorak sip of the day.

Great master you and me.

Just a tip with JCD.

And if anybody grows anything weird, because there's lots of weird peppers in here, send me a couple.

Send John a couple of weird peppers.

Once you pick a peck of pickled peppers, send them to Dvorak.

And that concludes our broadcast day, everybody.

Remember,

just plug your eardrums because, man, we got Sir Ducifer

and Sir Scovey with end of show mixes.

Oh, no!

Uh-oh.

John C.

Dvorak says, does better.

Do better.

Does better.

Just do better.

I like him.

But I like all kinds of crap.

Coming up next on your No Agenda stream, we have the Mere Mortals Book Reviews.

Oh, this is Adapt or Die, the youth spy who sparked a passion for discipline.

Hmm, Stormbreaker book review.

It's Kyron from down under doing that.

I look forward to that.

And we will gladly be back with you on Thursday and we'll bring you more.

Multiple hours of media deconstruction.

Still waiting for it to kick off in Los Angeles or to pop off.

And I'm here in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

In the morning, everybody, Madam Curry, and from northern Silicon Valley, where the National Guard is not here.

I'm John C.

Dvorak.

Remember us at noagendadonations.com until Thursday.
