To the moon, Alice!
To the moon!
Adam Curry, John C.
DeVora.
It's Thursday, April 2nd, 2026.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media
Assassination episode 1856.
This is no agenda.
To the moon!
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region Number
6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Refinery Row up here in the
North San Francisco Bay, I was gonna say,
to the moon.
I'm John C.
DeVorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning!
We gotta coordinate these.
No, we can't coordinate these things.
I was gonna add Alice.
Yeah, so throw in one of your trademark,
no one understands what JCD's talking about references.
Exactly.
Alice.
Is that from The Honeymooners?
From Jackie Gleason?
You remember.
Barely.
To the moon, Alice!
To the moon!
Was that how much he loved her?
Is that what the deal was?
He's threatening to punch her.
No, he was not.
What do you think it meant?
No, he meant he loved her.
He didn't want to punch her.
Are you kidding me?
He only said that when he was mad
at her and he had his fist in
a ball and he was swinging it around
and he was gonna say, to the moon
one of these days.
This is exactly what I mean.
No one understands these references.
It's okay.
I think they're suppressed.
Well, they should be.
It's completely misogynistic.
You can't have that kind of stuff anymore.
He never hit her.
The threat is violence by itself.
Yeah.
Silence is too.
So, listen to this foamer girl on NPR
with the rocket going to the moon.
NASA says the Artemis II moon mission is
proceeding as scheduled following yesterday's launch of four
astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce was there for liftoff.
The rocket is just arcing up into the
sky.
There's a tremendous noise and just a bright,
bright star-like streaking star in the sky
as it goes up and up.
The sound was like physical.
You could feel your body shaking.
And there's a long, straight cloud, white cloud
coming down from the rocket which is still
very visible high up in the blue sky.
There's four astronauts on board and it's amazing
to think that they're on top of this
thing.
And it's just going up and up and
up and we can still hear it.
It's like a very loud flag-flapping sound
and all eyes are on this thing.
That's NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce.
The asterisk.
I love her.
Does she know that we have television these
days?
Does she know?
I love the theater of the mind.
It's a flapping noise and I can't believe
that on top of this thing there's a
white trail behind it.
We're watching it on television, NPR girl.
It was...
There you go.
It's a big rocket.
It's a big rocket and of course they
launched it on April Fool's Day.
Look pretty real to me though.
I'll be honest.
A lot of work to make it not
real.
All those people witnessing it.
It was still not as big as Saturn
V.
I watched most of this coverage.
The thing is huge but Saturn V is
still a few feet bigger.
Well, it's not the size.
It's in the motion of the ocean.
And they're going to slingshot this thing around
the moon and this is a big deal.
I got a couple of clips.
Do you have anything on the rocket?
No, it's just...
What was there to...
Well...
You found something?
Good.
There's always something.
Let's see.
I got Isaacman.
He's the administrator of NASA.
That guy with the ears?
He could fly to the moon just with
his ears.
Holy mackerel.
Here he is.
This is serious, man.
We're in a new space race for the
moon base.
This is the opening episode.
You're going to start seeing launches to the
moon almost on a monthly cadence.
A lot of uncrewed vehicles are going to
go there as we start to build out
the moon base.
You're going to see crewed vehicles with astronauts
going at some point every year, eventually getting
down to six months.
Vehicle architecture will change until you've got repeatable,
affordable missions going to and from the moon.
Yeah, okay.
You know how they're going to do that?
They have moon partners.
I'd say we have demonstration missions on the
peaceful, civil side for doing on-orbit boosting
of satellites, on-orbit refueling of satellites.
In fact, our entire lunar strategy with our
two moon partners that are building our lunar
landers, SpaceX and Blue Origin, incorporates some degree
of on-orbit assembly or on-orbit cryogenic
prop transfer.
These are going to be game-changing capabilities
for the United States.
So we are moving in that direction, for
sure.
It's a little entremont here.
This came in this morning as the astronauts
are talking to Houston, and they had a
little bit of a problem they thought Mission
Control could help them with.
Why are they...
What?
Okay, wait, wait.
Stop the show.
Clip of the day.
Microsoft Outlook crashes.
I'm telling you.
I'll give you ten points for that.
The whole thing's worth it.
Let's listen to that one more time.
Yeah, go for it.
Can you remote
in?
It's even worse than that.
Yeah, that's the worst.
Remote in.
I thought that was great.
We're sending these guys to the moon, and
they're using Outlook.
I wonder if they're on...
Do you think they upgraded to Windows 11
so they have support?
They better.
Anyway, this whole thing is obviously about national
security.
When America returns to the moon, builds a
moon base, returning to the moon, this time
to stay, it sends a message.
It sends a message to every one of
our adversaries, our geopolitical rivals around the world
of what we are capable of doing.
It sends a message of what we're capable
of doing across every one of the most
important emerging technological domains.
I will tell you, it is absolutely a
race right now.
Success and failure on the moon is going
to be measured in months, not years.
Success or failure is months, not years.
And this, my friends, you may think, we're
just blowing money on rockets, blowing on a
moon base.
Uh-uh.
This is a critical piece of your golden
dome.
I 100% believe that our adversaries around
the world understand how important the high ground
of space is and what our satellites are
capable of doing, again, from an observation and
communication perspective.
And they are doing everything they can to
try and challenge it.
That's where President Trump's golden dome comes in.
We're building out even bigger constellations of satellites.
We're going higher.
We're going into cislunar space.
We're sending American astronauts back to the moon.
What?
Cislunar space?
Did I hear that correctly?
It sounded like he said cis.
Cis, yeah, that's what I heard, too.
Like trans or cis.
Cislunar space.
We're going into cislunar space.
Yeah, cislunar space.
I wonder what cis...
I think we've looked this up.
We have a couple times.
It never makes any sense, really.
Well...
Satellites.
We're going higher.
We're going into cislunar space.
We're sending American astronauts back to the moon
to build a moon base.
Laugh tell.
We're going higher.
We're going into cislunar space.
We're sending American astronauts back to the moon.
Listen, listen, you can hear the laugh tell.
We're going higher.
We're going into cislunar space.
We're sending American astronauts back to the moon
to build a moon base.
So there's no doubt that our adversaries are
trying to counter our capabilities in space, but
this is why President Trump signs a national
space policy calling for the continuation of American
superiority in the high ground of space.
Cislunar space, the high ground of space.
These are new terms.
We should be learning these terms.
That's the show title.
Cislunar space?
It's a little long.
Or just cislunar, maybe.
CBC had a bit here as we apparently
are still racing the Chinese.
I think the Chinese, have they only banked
stuff into the moon?
Have they crash landed or have they had
anything land successfully?
I don't know.
I think all it is was the crash
lands.
I think they just crash landed.
For all the complexity, care, and frankly rocket
science that goes into this moment.
3, 2, 1, booster ignition.
And lift off.
There is little else it comes down to
but the wonder of this moment.
And how wonderful it was to see years
of planning and an estimated $93 billion pay
off.
Artemis 2 with humans on board heads off
to the moon.
Today's successful launch is also a move that
NASA's new administrator has been pushing for.
Jared Isaacman has criticized the pace of this
Artemis program for taking too long and showing
too little.
He recently revamped plans to get more missions
going faster, even to establish a moon base
before competitors like China can make progress.
If there are constant Chinese missions and rare
American missions, what makes you think the language
of space travel will be English?
Dean Chang is a senior fellow with the
Potomac Institute for Policy Studies.
He sees China's persistence to go to the
moon as a real challenge to the U
.S. with timelines.
You can bet that they will move literally
heaven and earth to make sure that Chinese
boots leave an impression on the lunar surface
by December 31st 2030.
Humanity's next great voyage begins.
Still, Artemis is the farthest along and if
all goes well in days, these astronauts will
be physically farther than any other crewed mission
has ever gone.
Even as they know their job is to
be the test case so humans can go
even further.
So beside the endless articles about the color
of their spacesuits, it's orange.
This whole thing really does seem to have
a China angle to it, which I didn't
expect that, or at least there wasn't a
lot of that in the preamble.
I thought so.
You thought there was a lot of China
angle?
Yeah, I thought the whole thing was about
China.
I was convinced that if China hadn't been
threatening to land a man on the moon
that we wouldn't do this at all.
It's too expensive.
Hey man, it's a part of the Golden
Dome.
One more clip, this is from CNN, again
about China and the new lunar economy.
Back 50 plus years ago, the first mission
to the moon, that was a space race
with Russia.
Today the race is really with China.
How much...
Doesn't Russia still make our engines?
I know Elon makes them now.
But they do.
You can still buy the Russian engines, I
think we buy some.
They never said who made these engines.
Maybe we should buy it.
I'm guessing Elon's company.
Maybe we should buy a few of these
engines.
Maybe not.
The race is really with China.
How much has China's own space race fueled
this push to get back to the moon?
Right, absolutely.
I would say it's a major factor.
Right, absolutely.
Did she say right, absolutely?
Back to the moon.
Right, absolutely.
I would say it's a major...
It's more like a right, absolutely.
Right, absolutely.
I would say it's a major factor.
The reason that this is a race and
exactly whether it's a race is kind of
up for debate, but certainly lawmakers have made
clear, both Democrats and Republicans, that they consider
us to be in a new space race
with China and it being a national security
concern if they leapfrog our deep space capabilities.
That's the goal here, right?
China clearly has ambitions to build a base
on the moon.
The United States is stepping up to that
challenge and saying, we want to build one
too.
The big question here maybe isn't who lands
on the moon first again, but maybe who
gets to that lunar base and establishing a
new lunar economy, as NASA likes to say.
China's certainly driving that.
We'll see.
Lunar economy.
Lunar economy.
Tina was having none of it.
She says, but lower my gas prices!
I don't care about what we do with
the lunar economy.
I think that's...
It wasn't the same.
The media made some excitement about it when
they were getting onto the...
into the capsule.
But there wasn't a lot.
Are people that excited anymore the way we
were?
No.
It doesn't look that way, but when they
showed the crowd at Kennedy, there's a bunch
of little kids who watched it, and they're
all excited.
So maybe, you know, it was just us
being old.
Speak for yourself, Tonto.
Hey!
You're going to be a year older.
I've got a birthday coming up.
On the 5th.
The 5th?
That should be exciting.
Is that a show day?
It's not a show day, is it?
It's Easter Sunday.
Oh, wow.
You celebrate on Easter Sunday?
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Isn't it?
It happens about once every 12 years.
Wow.
Yeah, I didn't realize that.
Easter kind of snuck up on me as
well.
It's not the same.
How do they plan that?
I should know this, I guess.
Is that the Hebrew calendar?
Is that why it's so confusing?
That's a good question.
Because I've been baffled by it by myself.
Sometimes it's March.
Sometimes it's here.
Sometimes it's July 4th.
It's all over the place.
It's never been on July 4th.
No, it's never been that.
I think it's the Hebrew calendar.
But it just snuck up on me.
Is the robot operating?
The robot?
You mean it's the robot talk operating?
I don't have her in talk mode.
I'm on Linux now.
She's not compatible.
I can get her working for Sunday.
I don't want to delay the show.
We shouldn't be guessing.
We're right here with computers in front of
us.
Of course I can ask my...
How is Easter Sunday determined?
Okay.
Let's see what she says.
And the robot says...
It's calculating.
I need to put you in fast mode,
robot.
This is the problem.
Okay.
Oh, it's the equinox.
And the full moon and the next Sunday.
So it has...
This is complicated.
Yeah.
It is calendar-based.
It's moon-based.
Okay.
Well, there you go.
That was riveting.
I'm glad we figured that out.
Well, at least we Hebrew calendar.
Hebrew calendar.
So what you got?
I got my typical...
I'm documenting my thesis that Trump's just going
to pull out.
Oh, I think you're right.
I've seen enough...
In fact, I have a few clips, but
what I'm hearing now is, hey, we're going
to wait for them to make a deal,
and then we're going to...
You know what?
We don't need the Hormuz Straits.
Let France take care of it.
Yeah.
That's what I'm hearing.
So I've got variations of the theme here
with a bunch of Iran clips, which are
scattered throughout the list, so I'm going to
have to give them to you individually.
Try this one.
Crazy John Carl.
Tonight, with Iran's blockade of the Strait of
Hormuz, causing oil prices to soar around the
world, President Trump is urging America's allies to,
quote, build up some delayed courage, go to
the Strait, and just take it.
In a phone call, the president told me
of our allies, they can police it themselves.
Why should I do it for them?
They weren't there for me.
The president suggesting that America's allies should be
there to help, even though they didn't start
the war.
France, Spain, and Italy have all expressed reluctance
to get involved.
The president has acknowledged he was elected on
a promise to bring down the cost of
living.
But today, he told me the booming stock
market before the war made it a good
time to do it.
Trump insists the oil prices are going to
go down.
He has threatened if Iran doesn't immediately open
the Strait, he will be, quote, blowing up
and completely obliterating their civilian infrastructure, including power
plants and water systems.
He also says the U.S. and Iran
are talking, telling me, we have regime change,
and this group is much more moderate and
much more reasonable.
The president says his team has been talking
with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad
Ghalibaf.
Speaker Ghalibaf has been jabbing the president on
social media.
He's toned it down a lot, Trump told
me.
He's much better.
The president then adding ominously, we know where
he lives.
Let's put it that way.
And on Cuba, the president telling me Cuba's
gone.
When I asked him if he was talking
about a military operation against Cuba, Trump said,
I can't tell you that.
I trust you implicitly, but I can't tell
you.
Hmm.
This Cuba thing kind of bothers me.
Cuba's gone.
What's he talking about?
Does the Cuba thing bother you at all?
What do you mean, does it bother me?
Like, do I wake up in a cold
sweat?
Yeah, well, yeah, in a cold sweat saying,
what the hell are they doing to Cuba?
I mean, it's just out of the blue.
What do you mean?
Did they let some oil in there?
No, they didn't let any oil in.
Yeah, they let the Russians.
Oh, they did?
Yeah, the Russians unload a whole tanker of
oil.
No, that's nice.
So, no, I'm not bothered by that.
They got some oil.
Okay, let's go on with the thesis.
Here's ABC.
This was ABC WNT.
U.S. bombs key site.
Tonight, massive explosions ripping through this military complex
in Iran.
Flaming debris shooting into the air.
An official telling ABC News the U.S.
struck an ammunition storage facility in Isfahan, dropping
multiple 2,000 pound bunker-busting bombs.
For the first time in this war, the
Pentagon now saying B-52 bombers are flying
deep over Iranian territory.
And tonight, Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the battle
is moving into a decisive phase.
The upcoming days will be decisive.
Iran knows that.
And there's almost nothing they can militarily do
about it.
Yes, they will still shoot some missiles, but
we will shoot them down.
Tonight, a third aircraft carrier, the USS George
H.W. Bush, departing for the Middle East
with 4,500 sailors aboard.
Families emotional.
I'm just trying to be strong for him.
It's really hard being away from someone like
that.
Iran still wreaking havoc.
New images of an oil tanker hit by
an Iranian drone near Dubai, punching a hole
in the ship, sparking a fire on board.
And tonight, an Iran-backed militia accused of
kidnapping an American journalist in Baghdad.
Iraqi officials confirming this chilling video shows the
moment Shelley Kittleson was forced into a car
and taken.
Authorities arresting at least one suspect as an
urgent search intensifies.
David, the State Department with a new warning
tonight for Americans in Saudi Arabia about threats
to places where they gather, like schools and
hotels.
This, as Iran threatens to attack American corporate
facilities across the region.
Can I play a clip to add to
your thesis?
Play all the clips you want.
Here's the president talking about leaving Iran very,
very, very soon.
I would say that within two weeks, maybe
three, we're hitting them very hard.
Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of
missile-making facilities, as you probably read.
We knocked out...
Excuse me?
The U.S. will be gone or done
with the war?
I think with two or three weeks.
We'll leave.
There's no reason for us to do this.
The problem with this, Faye, a guy can
take a mine, drop it in the water
and say, oh, it's unsafe.
It's not like you're taking out an army
or you're taking out a country.
They can drop it.
Or he can take a machine gun from
the shore and shoot a few bullets at
a ship.
Or maybe an over-the-shoulder missile, small
missiles.
He doesn't really know much about military gear,
does he?
That's not for us.
That'll be for France.
That'll be for whoever's using this trade.
But I think when we leave, probably that's
all cleared up.
Today, I heard tremendous numbers of ships were
sailing through.
We're negotiating with them right now.
Again, we have had regime change.
Now, regime change was not one of the
things I had as a goal.
I had one goal.
They will have no nuclear weapon.
And that goal has been attained.
They will not have nuclear weapons.
But we're finishing the job.
And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe
a couple of days longer to do the
job.
But we want to knock out every single
thing they have.
Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal
before that, because we'll hit bridges.
And we've hit some.
We'll hit some bridges.
We've got a couple of nice bridges in
mind.
We hit some bridges.
If they come to the table, that'll be
good.
I like that.
We have some nice bridges in mind.
Bridge too far.
It's possible that we'll make a deal before
that, because we'll hit bridges.
And we've hit some.
We'll hit some bridges.
We've got a couple of nice bridges in
mind.
But if they come to the table, that'll
be good.
But it doesn't matter whether they come or
not.
We've set them back.
It'll take 15 to 20 years for them
to rebuild what we've done to them.
I gotta tell you, I'm disappointed because I
thought the whole plan was to control the
Straits of Hormuz, to be the financier of
the shipping and the insurance.
And now it's like, France deal with it?
It doesn't sound...
The writing's on the wall.
They can't do it.
They're at a position right now where they've
done enough damage.
I think they're only hanging around.
This is my thesis, of course.
Everything's a thesis.
They're only hanging around because they're hoping to
God that they can find that 600 pounds
of uranium that enriched uranium.
Uranium dust, as the president calls it.
Nuclear dust.
Nuclear dust.
They think they can grab it.
That was their great hope.
And I think they're gonna say, well, it's
disappeared.
We're gonna have to put Mossad in there
later.
Maybe they can find it.
We'll come back.
But we can't stay here any longer because
everyone's irked at us.
But we can still blame them for not
helping us when we leave.
I think that's gonna be the kicker.
When he leaves, he's gonna say, well, you
know, we would have stayed, but...
Yeah, I got some of those, but maybe
you want to do your...
No, go ahead.
You've got some.
First of all, let's do a boots on
the ground from the region, from our producer
there.
He says, alive and kicking.
My military guys, they're like, that guy, you're
informant, he's full of BS.
Okay.
That's...
I have a feeling that maybe the military
results are not as rosy as the president
as...
Well, I mean, when they start showing you
the videos on network TV of a truck
being blowed up, come on.
He says, alive and kicking.
Just amazed by the number of, quote, analysts
and, quote, experts discussing the, quote, detailed plans
which are conveniently leaked through WAPO, New York
Post, and every single major paper on the
exact approach and step-by-step ground operation
to seize the islands or retrieve enriched uranium
stockpiles.
The end of this seems near.
Pakistan is taking a dual role here to
manage the negotiation process, and China will step
in as guarantor with actual skin in the
game.
The problem is, how do we deal with
a militarized, angry, and vengeful Iran that guarantees
they won't aggressively rebuild and go all-in?
Some voices in the region think that we
need to take the chemotherapy approach and keep
hitting until the entire regime collapses, which is
aligned to the Israeli approach, but the issue
is, at what cost?
Do we have enough interception capabilities?
Can we expose ourselves to such hardships short
and long-term?
Other voices believe that the regime already collapsed,
but the war itself is what keeps it
fighting for survival.
And what happened to the initial decapitation event
was a military coup by the IRGC, which
picked a dead or nearly dead puppet as
a token for the Islamic Republic idea.
There could be voices that will push the
country towards a softer Islamic Republic with a
cute supreme leader or towards a more pragmatic,
politically savvy bureaucracy.
Iranian people are extremely smart with a wide
range of political ideologies.
Once sanctions are dropped, the regime could fall
through Instagram or TikTok.
I agree.
It wouldn't surprise me, to be honest about
it.
It wouldn't be surprising.
Okay, so NATO, yes, you are completely right.
The president has been lashing out, according to
France 24.
And I've always said NATO's a paper tiger.
And I always said we help NATO, but
they'll never help us.
From jabs and scoldings to thinly veiled threats
and angry outbursts.
Over the last few weeks, Donald Trump hasn't
been shy in his criticism for the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
A longtime NATO skeptic, the US president has
now ramped up his rhetoric, telling British newspaper
The Telegraph that he was strongly considering pulling
the United States out of the alliance.
Trump says NATO isn't doing enough to help
the US in its war with Iran, particularly
when it comes to securing the Strait of
Hormuz.
A fifth of the world's oil and liquefied
natural gas would normally flow through the narrow
waterway, but Iran has virtually closed it since
the start of hostilities on February 28, causing
global oil and gas prices to soar.
When asked about Trump's comments on Tuesday, the
British prime minister stood up for NATO and
reiterated his promise not to get dragged into
the war.
NATO is the single most effective military alliance
the world has ever seen.
And it has kept us safe for many
decades.
Whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever
the noise, I'm going to act in the
British national interest in all the decisions that
I make.
Okay, so they're still kind of staying at
arm's length, and they sent over our boy
to help ease the pain a little bit.
Mark Ritter, showing up on the Fox News.
Alright, I want to start with some criticism.
You know, the president has been sharply addressing
what he sees as NATO's failures in this
current situation.
Here's what he said in the Oval Office
earlier this week.
I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake,
and I've long said that, you know, I
wonder whether or not NATO would ever be
there for us.
So this is a great test.
Yeah, what's up?
So, NATO's making a foolish Don't we really
run NATO?
This whole thing is a charade.
Well, it's not about NATO.
It's about these other...
It's about the EU.
Screw those guys.
That's what he's saying.
Yeah, it's about the EU, but I think
NATO is just a...
This is a smokescreen.
It's a code.
It's code.
And he's got his buddy, Ruta.
Yeah, Ruta's a fake.
Yeah, well, duh.
Listen to him.
Wait until you hear what he's saying.
I've long said that, you know, I wonder
whether or not NATO would ever be there
for us.
So this is a...
This was a great test, because we don't
need them, but they should have been there.
Have you talked with the president?
I know that you guys have had a
good relationship.
Yes, we have, and we talked several times
this week, but before I get there, let
me...
Before I get there, let me stay here
for a moment.
Let me say something which is top of
the show, top of mind.
Just say at the top of our interview
that my thoughts and prayers are obviously with
the men and women in uniform who are
at this moment fighting to make the world
more secure and implement the president's vision of
making sure Iran will not get its hands
on a nuclear facility, nuclear capability, and ballistic
missile capability.
Yes, we cannot have that at all, but
don't worry, we are coming with 22 nations.
I know the president was angry, because he
feels that European and other allies have been
too slow.
The good news here is that since Thursday,
a group of 22 countries, most of them
from NATO, but also Japan, Korea, Australia, New
Zealand, the UAE and Bahrain, most of the
other countries from NATO, are coming together to
implement his vision of making sure that the
Strait of Hormuz is free, is opening up
as soon as that is possible.
So we are now planning, the military people
and others, amongst this group of 22 nations
and with the US, when can we do
that, what is needed, and how should we
do this?
Okay, well let me tell you.
So the 22 nations not included in this
coalition, are NATO members Turkey, Greece, Poland, Belgium,
and Hungary.
So those, they're not participating, and even though
France, Italy, Spain are participating, Spain closed their
airspace to us.
Italy denied bombers use of the air base
in Sicily, and France has refused territory for
military operations as well.
Those in the coalition who are not NATO
members, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, United
Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.
And Rubio is the one who's going out
to explain this on behalf of the President.
He had a long interview with Sean Hannity.
Sean, I've been one of the strongest defenders
of NATO during my time as a United
States Senator, because I found great value in
it.
It wasn't just about defending Europe, I said
it also allowed us to have military bases
in Europe that allowed us to project power
into different parts of the world when our
national security was threatened.
If now we have reached a point where
the NATO alliance means that we can't use
those bases, that in fact, we can no
longer use those bases to defend America's interests,
then NATO is a one way street.
Then NATO is simply about us having troops
in Europe to defend Europe, but when we
need their help, not their help, we're not
asking them to conduct airstrikes.
When we need them to allow us to
use their military bases, their answer is no?
Then why are we in NATO?
Why are we in NATO?
That's a good question.
I think we should re-examine after the
war is over.
So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after
this conflict is concluded, we're going to have
to re-examine that relationship.
We're going to have to re-examine the
value of NATO and that alliance for our
country.
Ultimately, that's a...
Honey, NATO, we've got to talk.
...decision for the President to make, and he'll
have to make it.
We're going to finish the job here.
As I said, we're very, very close to
achieving our objectives on all of these things
that I've outlined, but I do think, unfortunately,
we are going to have to re-examine
whether or not this alliance that has served
this country well for a while is still
serving that purpose, or has it now become
a one way street where America is simply
in a position to defend Europe, but when
we need the help of our allies, they're
going to deny us basing rights, and they're
going to deny us overflight.
Yeah, so this...
It's just...
Screw you guys.
That's what it is.
But yes, we are NATO, so...
I'm sure you saw the President last night
on his national broadcast.
I thought it was very weak.
It was terrible.
And this was perhaps the worst...
I don't know who advised him on this,
that sounds like something, I gotta tell people
this.
This was the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
It's very important that we keep this conflict
in perspective.
American involvement in World War I lasted one
year, seven months, and five days.
World War II lasted for three years, eight
months, and 25 days.
The Korean War lasted for three years, one
month, and two days.
The Vietnam War lasted for 19 years, five
months, and 29 days.
Iraq went on for eight years, eight months,
and 28 days.
We are in this military operation so powerful,
so brilliant against one of the most powerful
countries for 32 days.
What is the point of that?
All you're doing is reminding people that this
could last forever.
Interesting that you interpret it that way.
I didn't think of it that way, but
you're right.
That's why he's gonna have to get out
within the next week or two.
Well, that's what he's saying.
Two weeks, three weeks, couple days.
We'll be out of here tomorrow.
We'll be out of here.
The problem, he thinks he set it up,
he's a little concerned that Iran's gonna claim
victory no matter what happens.
He doesn't like that idea.
He's worried about the political implications, about going
in and rebelizing and just leaving.
It's great.
I think he's shaky.
He wants to get out like Senator John
Kennedy said.
Why are we there now?
We've done what we had to do.
Let's get out.
Kennedy's aware of this going on more than
any other senator.
I think Trump can't pull the trigger or
the military guys want to test more gear
or who knows what.
They always want to do that.
Definitely.
He reiterated that regime change was not the
goal, which okay, not explicitly, but he keeps
talking about it.
Not our goal.
We never said regime change, but regime change
has occurred because of all of their original
leaders' deaths.
They're all dead.
The new group is less radical and much
more reasonable.
We still don't know who the new group
is.
The head of the parliament's one of them.
There's that foreign minister guy who's on X.
Baghdad Bob.
He's on X all the time.
Baghdad Bob.
We don't know what he's talking about.
We're not talking to anybody.
We're winning this thing.
Then Rubio was sent out and he almost
did a podcast.
Like a scripted thing.
Let me tell you why we did this.
This is very important.
I'm Marco Rubio.
Many Americans are asking why did the United
States have to attack Iran now?
Let me explain.
Iran wants to have nuclear weapons.
Of that, there is zero doubt.
If what they truly wanted, which is what
they claim, is nuclear energy, they could have
nuclear energy like all the other countries in
the world have it.
That is, you import the fuel and you
build reactors above ground.
That's not what Iran has done.
They build their reactors and their facilities deep
in mountains away from the public glare.
They want to enrich that material.
The same equipment that they could use to
enrich material for energy, they could use to
quickly enrich it to weapons grade.
It is clear that they've been offered every
opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows
them to have energy, not weapons.
Every single time, they have turned it down.
Why the attack now?
What was Iran trying to do?
Iran was trying to build a conventional shield,
in essence, have so many missiles, have so
many drones that no one could attack them,
and they were well on their way.
We were on the verge of an Iran
that had so many missiles and so many
drones that no one could do anything about
their nuclear weapons program in the future.
That was an intolerable risk.
Under no circumstances can a country run by
radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of
the future ever possess nuclear weapons.
And under no circumstances can they be allowed
to hide and protect that program and their
ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones
that no one can do anything about.
Okay.
Nice podcast.
Whatever.
Exactly.
So Iran is now formalizing the toll road.
Yeah, that's not going to last.
Well, it's illegal.
France 24 doesn't think it's going to happen
at all, but here it is.
Iran's National Security Committee has approved a bill
that would impose these fees on the Strait
of Hormuz.
That's according to the Iranian Forest News Agency.
And Iran has written to the International Maritime
Organization saying it has to check the ships
going through on the grounds of self defense
and that these checks will generate costs, thus
the tolls.
But for shippers, there are many questions lingering
on whether paying those fees would mean going
against existing international sanctions leveled at Iran.
So even if Iran formalizes it, it's unlikely
to be accepted by other countries, although right
now there does not seem to be really
other options to go across.
Yeah, I agree.
I don't think that's going to happen.
But the UK is now the center of
the 35 countries who will be on the
committee, I think, to reopen the Strait of
Hormuz.
So they're trying to do...
Oh, a committee.
Yeah, a steering committee.
They're trying to do something.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is headed to
the UK.
She will join multi-nation talks on finding
diplomatic options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
trade corridor.
The meeting was called by the UK government
today.
Anand says Canada will not hesitate to help
secure the Strait, but only if there is
a ceasefire.
The Liberal government has not yet decided on
specific measures.
It's Canada.
It's what?
It's the UK.
It's Canada.
I thought everyone's meeting in the UK.
Did I...
I thought maybe...
I know what she's talking about, Canada.
Can I do a...
taking a trip aside here?
Yeah.
Just a little step aside.
Canada is nuts.
Hmm.
Okay.
Jeez.
I want to put this from a couple
of days ago.
Leading the national...
I've decided I'm going to start following the
CBC now.
The national, which is a pretty good news
presentation.
It's their premiere, you know, the nightly news.
Yeah.
It's their Tom Broke jaw.
Yeah.
Broke jaw.
Hang in there.
Hang in there.
You can do it.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't make you laugh?
Is that the problem?
Yes.
Do not make me laugh.
So, Canada.
This was the first time I played the
teaser and then the story, and then you
tell me this is not nuts.
Canada, scandal, the national.
Tonight, anger across Quebec after the message of
condolence from the head of Air Canada was
in English only.
When you've been living in Quebec for 15,
20 years, you should be able to speak
the language.
Why it is not the first time Michael
Rousseau has faced calls for an apology or
resignation.
Because he only did in English and not
in French.
This is the CEO of an airline.
He's not a politician.
He has to speak in both languages all
the time, you know, because of the Quebecers
who are trying to, they're going to do
a breakaway move again one more time, which
we haven't talked about in this show at
all.
It's heating up, I hear.
Yeah, it's supposed to be heating up a
lot.
And this may be part of it.
And then they go into the story.
Here it is.
Air Canada's CEO is facing intense backlash tonight,
including calls for his resignation after his message
of condolence to the victims of the crash
at La Guardia Airport was delivered only in
English.
Michael Rousseau spoke just two French words in
nearly four minutes.
The plane, which took off from Montreal, crashed
into a fire truck on the runway killing
both pilots, Antoine Fauré and Mackenzie Gunter.
Fauré was a French speaker from Quebec.
Criticism has been especially sharp in that province.
As Sarah Levitt tells us, this isn't the
first time Rousseau has faced scrutiny for not
speaking French.
Air Canada already had a terrible human tragedy
to deal with following the crash at La
Guardia Airport, which killed two pilots and injured
many passengers.
But the way it's partly handled that has
created a political crisis.
That, along with this.
Were the only two French words spoken by
Michael Rousseau in a video released after the
crash.
That's put the Air Canada CEO in hot
water, particularly in Quebec.
One of the plane's pilots, Antoine Fauré, was
a francophone from the province.
I'm asking him to quit his job right
now.
For sure he should apologize.
Air Canada should ask him to resign.
In an interview with Radio Canada, Air Canada's
VP of Communications apologized on behalf of the
airline and said that despite years of lessons,
Rousseau's French was not good enough to discuss
such a serious matter.
The airline is subject to the Official Languages
Act and now Rousseau has been summoned to
Ottawa to explain himself in front of the
Official Languages Committee.
It's also earned him an admonishment from the
Prime Minister.
It doesn't matter the circumstances, but particularly in
these circumstances, lack of judgment and lack of
compassion.
Yeah, you've kind of ripped us away from
Iran, Hormuz Straits, etc., but since you're moving
to Canada, I don't know if you saw
any of these.
Well, I'm sorry I did that, but there
was eating at me, these clips.
No, it's okay.
But we're going to play my Canada girl.
Oh, it's probably the same girl I have.
Oh, really?
You think so?
I'm just guessing, yeah.
Oh, maybe not.
Here's your Canada girl.
Hello, I'm a Canadian living in the United
States.
I just have a really quick question.
No, this is not my Canada girl.
Are you aware of what's actually happening in
your own country?
Now, one of the things I like to
do around here is I like to do
research before I speak, so I just went
ahead and I made you a couple notes.
So, please allow me to explain to you
what literally just happened.
So, this woman is ill.
I'll just point that out, that this is
what you're doing with your life on the
TikTok or wherever you got there.
This is more like an Instagram lady, it
sounds like.
It was TikTok or Instagram?
It makes a difference.
It makes a difference.
Yeah, there's a difference.
In Canada, okay, there was four public safety
bills and they were all voted down.
So, there's one called Bill C-246.
Have you heard of it?
If not, that's okay.
I'll sum it up for you.
So, it would have made sure that sexual
predators serve time for each victim, not a
bulk discount, okay?
That was voted down.
Did you hear about Bill C-220?
No.
Okay, if not, that's okay.
I'm here to help you.
It would have stopped lighter sentences for rapists
and child predators just because deportation might happen
after.
That was voted down.
Okay.
Did you hear about Bill C-243?
If not, that's fine.
I'm here for you.
It would have protected victims from having to
relive their trauma at parole hearings over and
over and over again.
Wait a minute, just let me understand.
So, she lives in America and she's telling
Canadians that they live in a horrible country?
Is that what she's doing?
Yeah.
The victims actually begged for this.
It was voted down.
Did you hear about Bill C-242?
No.
If not, once again, I'm here to help
you.
The Jail Not Bail Act?
Okay.
Well, that targeted repeat offenders cycling in and
out of the system.
And that was voted down too.
And you know what?
Can I just give you a little big
picture here really quickly?
I have the time.
So, before you talk about avoiding America, can
you talk about what's happening at home?
Violent crime has risen significantly over the past
decade, okay?
Our theft is at record highs.
Do you like your vehicle?
How about the collapsing healthcare system?
Millions of Canadians still don't have a family
doctor and or access to one.
Housing is completely unaffordable.
Food bank usage is at record highs.
The catch and release policies are frustrating even
law enforcement.
Your own Prime Minister said that you will
need to make sacrifices and suffer.
And those were his words, not mine.
Where I'm from, my tiny little town has
four homeless encampments.
Four.
But sure, America's the problem, right?
Can you do me one really big favor,
Smith Rental Property?
Just turn the TV off, just for a
day.
The United States is not this dystopian nightmare
that you're being sold, okay?
And Canada is not this flawless utopia that
you pretend it is.
Oh, give that woman a green card.
Welcome to America, lady.
Get off Instagram.
We got people in the troll room saying
this show is single-handedly making me hate
women.
So, And that's from a woman.
Yeah, right.
I have a Canadian clip, Canadian lady.
Well, questionable whether it's a Canadian lady or
what it is.
I think a non-binary conforming thing.
Did you see any of the footage from
the NDP convention?
Oh, I saw all of it.
I just had to pull at least one
clip.
We want you to tell people what the
NDP is.
National Democrat Party.
It's communists.
It's communists, yes.
We've seen this before.
This is the kind of groups that get
together, and you can't clap.
You have to snap your fingers.
You have to ask for a point of
privilege.
Nothing ever gets done.
Everybody's a freak.
What is the type of being on Star
Trek?
Quark.
What was Quark's race?
Ferengi.
So, this lady looks like a Ferengi.
The host.
She's the moderator.
The podium girl.
And people are in line, and they have
different colored equity cards.
And these equity cards, from what I understand,
This is great, by the way.
Who came up with this idea?
I've never seen this one before.
I love it.
So, you have an equity card, and I
think you have a yellow one or a
red one, and that means you can move
ahead in the line.
And it's all based on privilege and underprivilege.
Underprivilege, mostly.
And this one clip just kind of sums
it up.
There's a point of privilege on microphone one,
then we'll go to microphone three.
Go ahead, delegate.
What happened to microphone two?
Are you discriminating?
Yes.
Hello, I was standing here with my gender
equity card.
She has a yellow gender equity card.
Before you called on the previous speaker.
And she's wearing a kiffiyah over her shoulder.
She's all for policy.
Equity card before you called on the previous
speaker.
That's my point of privilege, and I would
like to I will explain the speaking order,
which is Okay, if I understand, she's mad
because she had a point of privilege card,
a yellow one, which is not the same
as a red one, because the black lady
gets a red one.
You'll hear from her in a minute.
And so, she was mad that she had
a gender equity card and was not called
on.
Before you called on the previous speaker.
The irony of this clip is she's at
the mic.
She wasn't called on.
You're being called on now.
What more do you want?
I'm mad about that.
My gender equity card before you called on
the previous speaker.
That's my point of privilege, and I would
like to I will explain the speaking order,
which is fixed that I cannot amend, which
is the pro-con rotation.
You can move yourself up a line that
you're standing in.
I am pro, and I was We went
You went pro-con We went pro-con
and my plan was to go con.
The speaker at con mic 3 also has
a speaking card.
Yesterday this card Now she has a, what
looks like a pink card, a black woman
with a white face mask was used in
an inappropriate matter and while I understand in
Ontario we know this is equity even if
that this was also used inappropriate in terms
of gender.
I want everyone to be mindful that these
cards for individuals like myself who identify as
a black woman have no value outside of
this space.
I love that she identifies as a black
woman because she's a black woman.
It's amazing.
This is fantastic.
It's just and you know this kind of
brings me to No King's Day Can I
do a transverse clip?
Kind of a crossover clip that there was
an interview with a man on the street
at No King's Day regarding her moves?
We both have this clip.
You got it too.
This is an interview in the crowd Man
on the street and I think this guy's
a comedian so he's doing a good job
here for humanity and it's a little muffled
but you'll hear he is talking about the
Straits of Hormuz.
Isn't it a little bit homophobic that we're
so focused on the Straits of Hormuz and
not the gays of Hormuz?
Yes, I agree.
Yes, for sure.
I agree.
Why do you think they're willing to leave
the gays of Hormuz behind?
I think it's just history historically, you know,
gays have always been very discriminated against, which
is wrong on so many levels.
Even in war.
Yeah, even in war.
It just takes, I think, more what is
it?
More reform in government, obviously and then also
educating society.
So the gays of Hormuz, we could turn
it into Fire Island.
For sure.
That's the new Borat as far as I'm
concerned.
That guy, he needs to do more of
this.
Yeah.
I got a lot of Fox clips for
some reason.
The Fox, this is the morning show, I
can't remember.
They brought on a psychiatrist to talk about
No Kings and why people are going there
and what it's doing for them.
You say that this is essentially bad group
therapy.
It really does look a lot like bad
group therapy.
We have people on the streets across America,
they're venting, they're getting validation from their fellow
rally goers.
So it all feels very good in the
moment.
Is there a reason why the left is
more distressed than the right?
Well, maybe they have more to be distressed
about these days and I think largely, you
know, they're just not happy with Trump winning.
We have grievance culture run wild.
The left, for the most part, loves to
hate and whether it's a CEO of a
healthcare company or billionaires or a politician, the
culture is grievance culture.
But is there something a little bit more
serious underlying all of this that we should
be actually concerned about?
Well, we should be and if people are
so hyper-focused on a political figure and
they're not able to enjoy life, as a
mental health professional, that's a huge problem that
I see.
I've had people over the years who couldn't
enjoy their vacation because they were so fixated
on Donald Trump.
They just said to me, how can I
possibly go on vacation knowing that he's in
office?
So we really should be concerned about this.
I think that's true.
I think people are really so upset.
And I see, you know- They say
so.
They do.
Yeah, something's wrong with them.
And you drive to Austin, we have to
go over 290, and you go through Dripping
Springs, or the drip as we call it.
And there's older people, so older than me,
70s, and they're always at this one main
intersection, and they're always day in, day out,
rain or shine, no kings, we hate Trump,
down with Trump.
No, we have that, okay, in Berkeley, there's
three overpasses in the Berkeley area.
One's a walking bicycle thing over the freeway,
and one's the big road, and there's another
one.
Ever since the first no kings, there have
been people up there with various signs, they
come and they go, the signs come and
change, and they're just up there all the
time, honk if you hate Trump.
Yeah, honk if you hate Trump.
They do that in the drip as well.
And I don't know, it's like, it's not
the most important thing in your life, it
shouldn't be.
This is our overall general problem in America,
is politics has just become the most important,
national politics, not even your local politics.
I mean, we have a mayoral election, unfortunately,
I can't run, as you know.
What do you mean?
I don't live in Fredericksburg.
Oh, that's where you're county?
Unincorporated, yeah, I'm in Gillespie County.
I could run for sheriff!
Or I could run for Comptroller.
There's a job, Comptroller, that's the job you
want.
But you know, if you walk down Main
Street and say, what about Trump?
Someone will have an opinion.
You say, what about Randy Briley?
Who?
No one knows that there's even a mayoral
election going on.
In fact, this psychiatrist continues here in a
second clip that politics has become the new
national religion.
How much of what you're seeing on the
left has to do with replacing, like, you
know, liberalism also goes hand in hand with
a lot of secularism and sort of, so
could they be replacing that spiritual, religious part
with politics?
And so then it ends up not being
very satisfying.
Yeah, absolutely.
In some ways, politics has become the new
religion.
And so, you know, I covered just a
few days ago, this past week, when President
Trump had the Japanese Prime Minister at the
White House, Sonny Takeuchi, he made a joke
about Pearl Harbor, and everyone on the left,
in the left media, in left politicians, lost
their minds.
It was clearly a joke.
Like, are we at the point now where
people are suffering so bad from TDS like
they can't even get a joke?
Well, I also thought it was funny, but
a lot of people didn't think it was
funny.
You know, they're just so fixated looking for
things that Trump can do wrong, and I've
long said that Trump could cure cancer and
people would find a problem with that.
He said that, actually.
Jonathan, come back and see us, because I
think we're going to need more therapy.
Yeah, I love this segment.
Okay, stupid fox.
Now, if you think it's only people on
the left in America who are crazy or
nuts, that's a fast.
Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham is under attack.
Since evidently, there's nothing for a senator to
do in these trying times, Lindsey Graham decided
to go be where the people are, down
in Disneyland, which he went to and had
a good old time with.
And there's been a lot of great photos
that have come out of this, but I
think by far my favorite is this one.
I don't know exactly where he's at right
there, but I do know what he's holding.
That is a Princess Ariel bubble wand.
And do you know how I know that?
Because I own a Princess Ariel bubble wand.
Well, technically, my daughter Raina does, because I
bought it for her.
It's a big wand with a kid's mermaid
on it that plays kid music and bubbles
come out of it.
And Lindsey Graham is walking around with it.
Now, Lindsey Graham is childless and single.
He was not there with his kids.
I have not seen any evidence that he
was there with anyone's kids.
Now, if you were there with your friend's
kids, your, I don't know, your brother's sister's
kids, maybe you buy them the Ariel bubble
wand.
But as of right now, the only explanation
is that he saw a bubble wand with
Ariel on it and he had to have
it.
Is he just that big of a fan
of Ariel?
I do think that he is a little
bit more personally anxious about that image than
he wants to publicly admit, because now he's
trying to put out other images.
He put out this tweet saying, spend some
time breaking clays in Edgefield County today doesn't
get much better than that.
And oh boy, doesn't he look butch.
He's got his leather vest.
He's got a shotgun.
He really enjoys doing this.
He's not a Disney guy.
He just happened to walk through there or
whatever.
He really wants to be shooting those clays.
I think that the Lindsey Duff protests too
much.
This is TMZ who's doing this.
That guy sounds like an acolyte of Glenn
Beck.
Well, he's Young Turks.
That's from Young Turks.
It's TMZ that put out a call.
In fact, TMZ is out of control.
They're opening up a DC office.
No, they're smart.
They're smart.
Where is the show business fund?
It's all in DC.
I mean, where else can you get a
story about Christy Gnome like this?
Shocking photos have leaked from an online fetish
community that allegedly feature Brian Gnome, the husband
of former Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Gnome.
The Daily Mail obtained hundreds of messages reportedly
sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's
husband and three women who are involved in
so-called bimbofication fetish scene.
Leaked pics reportedly show Brian wearing comically oversized
lopsided breasts, complete with fake protruding nipples.
Other pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul,
who has three children with Gnome, clad in
pink hot pants and a skin-tight, flesh
-colored crop top.
Did you see any of these pictures?
You didn't see the one in the newsletter
that you approved?
Oh, that's exactly where I did see it,
yes.
But that doesn't mean that you saw them.
I saw them.
I'm the one who found that picture that
went to the newsletter.
I get these from Tina.
Made to resemble massive, cockeyed bazoongas.
According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Brian
chatted up women from the online fetish scene
in which adult performers augment their breasts with
massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie
doll-like appearance.
Representatives of Christie told The Post the former
DHS chief was quote, devastated by the salacious
allegations of her husband and that the family
was quote, blindsided by this.
In a 2022 interview with Elysian, Christie Gnome
said that their family was an open book
and transparent.
The Daily Mail also spoke with national security
experts who said the existence of the scandalous
photographs could have made Christie the subject to
potential blackmail threats.
Former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos told the outlet
that the photos could be a quote, tantalizing
lead for a hostile intelligence service.
Cockeyed bazoongas.
Potential show title.
They're like the ones that remember that shop...
Yeah, the shop teacher.
Oh man, do we still...
They may be their friends.
There is a number of websites where you
can buy that crap.
How would I know?
I don't know.
Tina would.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Do we still have clips of that teacher?
Yeah, whatever happened to that guy?
I think they bought him off.
He probably walked away with a lot of
money.
He might have, because he was totally playing
that up like, well, what's wrong?
How come I can't identify as a woman
with...
The other angle of this, of course, is
that...
I don't have the clip.
I should have had it.
Is Kristi Noem testifying and refusing to answer
questions about having an affair with...
What's his name?
Mimi had those.
Yeah.
She gave it to me.
I dropped the ball there.
She's having an affair with...
What's that guy's name?
Corey Lewandowski.
Yeah, Corey Lewandowski.
I guess he's having an affair.
You say that.
And then she wouldn't answer any questions about
saying, tabloid, tabloid.
We can't get into this.
So she's screwed up, too.
She's no good.
She was not good from the get-go.
And I'd say the same thing.
The next one they're talking about, there's gossip.
Gossip.
Yeah, gossip.
I saw the gossip.
Bondi.
Everybody's up for being fired.
Everybody is.
Rubio.
No, not Rubio.
He's got solid people.
Where's Vance?
Vance is like a hitman.
He comes and goes.
He hasn't done any hits.
He's around.
Rubio.
And then you've got your A-gay.
He's also a talented guy.
The gay General Patton.
He's talented.
Tina's like, is he gay?
Hello.
He has a handsome husband.
And they have handsome children.
Just saying.
They're a handsome couple together.
You put good-looking people together and their
children come out beautiful.
Hmm.
Let me see.
How does that work?
Okay.
I've got lots of stuff, but so do
you.
How are you feeling, if you don't mind
me asking?
How are you sleeping?
I still have not got a normal sleep
in.
I'm short a couple hours today.
So I'm kind of...
I don't sound great.
You sound better than you sounded Sunday for
the first hour.
You sound a lot better.
You said I livened up on Sunday?
Yeah, you livened up after the first hour.
I don't know.
I think you pushed through some barrier with
your voice because you sounded a bit like
Soros.
It was somewhere between Kissinger and Soros.
I'm not going to do that because it's
not the way to do things.
So how do you feel in general?
I feel terrible.
Is there any improvement?
There's a lot of improvement.
Stamina improvement.
It's a terrible thing to go through.
No kidding.
I should have a couple more horror stories.
One element of the whole thing that was
not discussed is during the procedure I had
a collapsed lung.
Your memory is shot because we talked about
that on the last show.
Nuts.
I got a lot of fluids and they
don't let me drink water so I'm kind
of parched which doesn't help my voice.
That's part of the problem by the way.
I kind of enjoy having that a little
bit.
If I could do Alex Jones, I think
Alex Jones is going to be a lot
better than yours by the time I'm done.
Unlikely.
I can do it.
I can do it.
That's unlikely.
We did get some good news as your
Health and Human Service Secretary along with Dr.
Oz, it's the tag team.
The Maha tag team.
They heard your complaint.
The other announcement we're making today is that
Dr. Oz sent out a health and safety
notice every hospital in this country at 11
o'clock this morning asking them now to
align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines
in order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid
and Medicare payments.
We're going to bring all the hospitals in
the country in line with good food.
This is not something that we can force
hospitals to do.
They want it.
We have talked with them.
They need the incentive.
This is going to help them with their
procurement companies.
The fact that it's now essentially a federal
mandate.
Again, it's something the hospitals wanted.
It's something they needed.
We want to do this very, very quickly.
As Dr. Oz pointed out, food in hospitals
is so uniformly sucky.
We have one of our producers.
You don't think this is going to happen?
He said if you want Medicare money, you've
got to get brand name Jell-O.
That's as far as it's going to go.
How do you know that?
Why are you so negative, bro?
A couple of things.
One is I'm very affable in the hospital.
I've never been in the hospital before.
Affable?
Like you're nice?
I don't get that on the show.
I'm nice.
I'm nice.
I always have a one-liner.
For the first couple of days, they kept
rotating people in and out.
My one-liner was always the same.
Someone would come in, the new shift nurse,
the shift sub-nurse, the nurse practitioners, one
after the other.
They always check your pulse and do all
this stuff and charge Medicare for doing it
over and over and over.
Every time they'd come in, they'd introduce themselves
and say, how are you doing?
I'd always say, I'm in the hospital.
Did they think that was funny the 20th
time you did it?
I thought it was funny.
If I didn't get a laugh, I would
have stopped doing it.
I did it about, I'd say, 100 times.
In the process, the food thing would come
up in the conversations and I'd bitch and
moan about the food, complaining I can't eat
it.
You can't swallow it.
It's like eating sand.
They'd say, yeah, it's not good.
They'd all agree with me.
Except one nurse who said, I think the
food here is great.
You've never had the food at the VA.
I told this story.
Your memory is shot.
No, I remember telling this story before.
Now that I bring it up, I'm worried
about you.
They did something to your memory.
The reason I'm telling this story is because
you asked specifically why do I think this
isn't going to happen.
When she said that, which I've said it
before, I realized that institutionally it can't happen
because they don't care.
If you like the food from the VA,
there's a lack of care.
Now we had one of our producers wrote
a long, very nice note about how he
took over a hospital and started actually turning
it into a profit center.
He took over the cafeteria because everything was
canned.
It was all from Cisco or worse.
They didn't make anything there.
They couldn't even, you know, they couldn't even
slice a pat of butter.
You had to buy it pre-cut.
I mean, it was a nightmare.
He could do it.
It's doable, but it takes a maniac to
do it.
There's no impetus.
No impetus whatsoever.
This is never going to happen.
Well, you heard it here first.
Guy stays in the hospital once in his
life and now he's an expert.
That's right.
I am.
Believe me, I studied the process.
Well, millions of experts around the world, particularly
in America.
You know, you can tell if you go
into a company, you've done this, you can
go into a company and you can see
the corporate culture's no good.
And it's not going to change.
Well, yeah.
You're probably right.
You're probably right.
No, that's too bad.
Unless you get a guy like that guy,
our producer guy.
Our guys know how to run a hospital
cafeteria.
But he gave up and went to do
something else, make more money.
Exactly.
There you go.
Our guys just want to make more money.
So back to other experts around the world,
particularly in the United States, are rejoicing today.
If you're a ballistics expert, you're rejoicing today.
We have breaking news about the bullet that
killed Charlie Kirk.
There's a new court filing in the case
of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination.
Lawyers for the man accused of short shooting
Kirk say the bullet doesn't match the gun
investigators say was used in the crime.
Prosecutors say beyond that bullet, they have DNA
evidence that connects Tyler Robinson to the shooting.
It happened back in September while Kirk spoke
at events on the campus on Utah Valley
University.
Robinson's attorneys are asking to delay his preliminary
hearing.
They want more time to review evidence.
Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty.
CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson says this
is not unusual.
It is sometimes difficult to match bullets that
were recovered at autopsy with bullets that are
associated with a defendant's gun.
And that could be based on lack of
evidence and lack of markings on those bullets.
Hmm.
Hmm.
This makes it all very skeptical.
The bullet shattered.
Oh no!
No, that by itself was not possible.
No, the bullet's going to shatter.
It's gone through.
It's a 30-odd, 30-odd six.
30-odd six.
Go right through them.
Candace Owens shooting back to the top of
the podcast charts on YouTube.
Is she really?
Oh, people love her.
There's women here who are, it's 4 p
.m. I'm sorry I turned my phone on
silent.
I'm watching Candace.
It's time for Candace.
Yes.
I wonder if Candace Owens ever realized what
a natural presenter she is.
Oh, she's very natural at it.
Yeah, she's very good.
She's nuts, but she's very good at it.
She's nuts, but she is very good.
Yeah.
So something really cool happened in the world
of big tech and AI as Anthropic accidentally
leaked the source code?
Go ahead.
I talked to JC about this this morning
to get it straightened out.
Well, shall I play the clips and then
you can give me the synopsis?
Yeah, play the clips.
Well, yeah, play the clips.
This is one of those YouTuber guys.
I'll just give you the synopsis.
They published a new version of Claude Code,
an application, but the way they did it
is they accidentally included all of the source
code.
Yesterday, the most ironic thing ever happened.
Anthropic, a $380 billion startup built on the
idea of safety first, that advocates for closed
source software for the supposed benefit of humanity,
a company Elon calls misanthropic, whose logo is
definitely not a sphincter, whose CEO has been
warning us for years that human programmers will
be replaced by AI in six months, just
accidentally leaked Claude Code's entire source code to
the internet at 4 a.m., officially making
Anthropic more open than OpenAI.
I love this guy because he's kind of,
he's like a young JCD, a little snarky,
and he throws in the, whose logo does
not at all look like a sphincter, and
then you have to look at the logo
like, yeah, you're right, it does look like
a sphincter.
So here's how it happened.
But how did this code end up leaked
in the first place?
Well, as I mentioned, the source map was
accidentally packaged in an NPM release, but that's
weird because build tools normally strip out source
maps automatically.
Well, Claude Code is built on Bunjs, which,
as you might recall, was recently acquired by
Anthropic.
And it just so happens that about three
weeks ago, somebody opened up an issue on
GitHub about Bunjs serving source maps in production.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the fastest JavaScript
runtime in the world also turned out to
be the fastest way to ship your entire
codebase to the internet?
And so, while that is all relatively interesting,
I mean, I'm not like running off to
go fork the code, I don't know if
I can do anything with it, but no
later than a few days after I said
that this whole AI run these models locally,
it's the new Tamagotchi?
Boom!
Like there's a hidden capability under a feature
flag called Buddy, which appears to be a
new Tamagotchi-style companion that every developer can
customize and raise like a little digital pet.
This might just be Anthropic's April Fool's Day
joke, but there are also references to Opus
4.7 and a new model called Capybara,
which might be their new recently teased Mythos
model.
There's also things like Ultra Plan, Coordinator Mode,
and Demon Mode, but perhaps the most interesting
is Kairos, which is a Greek word for
an exact moment in time, or God's time.
I hate to beat off a dead horse
here, but it's a bit ironic that Anthropic
didn't get to reveal Kairos at the exact
time it wanted to, and instead, God chose
the right time.
The feature itself seems to be some kind
of background agent that keeps a daily journal,
uses Dream Mode to consolidate memories, and does
work for you in the background on a
specific schedule.
Pretty cool, but at the end of the
day, this leak is a pretty huge setback
for Anthropic, which hopes to IPO later this
year and offload their bags to the retail
public.
And it's yet another reminder that your top
-secret application is just one npm publish away
from becoming open source, whether you like it
or not.
So my takeaway is this is not really
a big deal.
It kind of shows that, you know, it's
all about the prompting and this is a
big piece of code that they've refined for
their prompting.
The cloud code is quite fantastic, I have
to say, the way it interacts with their
model.
I don't think it's going to hurt them
in any way.
What did JC have to say?
He says this is exaggerated.
It's not.
There's pieces of what they're doing that were
not broken out.
He says there's a battle within the company
that put some of this stuff open source
anyway, and it's possible they put it out
there because they need to get some feedback.
And he basically said it's bullshit and it's
also distracting from the Merkur hack, which is
apparently a massive hack that these guys are
doing AI training using experts.
You should look into that.
And their stuff, all of it got released
and it turns out they're breaking the law.
There's all kinds of vials.
It's just a whole slew of problems for
this company.
Nobody's talking about that and they're talking about
this anthropic thing and it's not important.
What is Merkur?
You've got to look it up.
Well, so you can't tell me.
I can tell you.
It's a company that Merkur.
Yeah, M-E-R-C-O-R.
Yeah.
They train AI using experts to train.
It's a completely different approach, which is very
effective and unfortunately it's all gone.
that's not unfortunate.
This is great.
The more...
The more this stuff is open source and
we can run it at home, the better.
I see it as fantastic and there's no
stopping this.
These Chinese models they keep coming out with...
Oh, and by the way, according to JC,
what would happen at Merkur or Merkur, the
Chinese will gobble up.
Yes, and they'll make a compressed version of
it.
It's quite fascinating what you can do with
this stuff at home and that's where this
whole bubble is going to pop.
I'm not against these models.
They're definitely good uses for them.
I finally loaded that model, the 11 Labs
voice.
I have cancelled my subscription.
They lost me as a customer because I
can run it at home on a Raspberry
Pi with an old graphic, a GPU from
NVIDIA.
An old one that someone gave to me.
I'm not making ISOs with it, don't worry.
Why should I worry?
Because 11 Labs is your go-to.
I've moved on.
Oracle, who are big in the data center
game, they are doing whatever they can to
keep raising money through debt to keep building
data centers, which I think is a big
mistake.
Let's get to our Seema Modi with a
news alert on Oracle.
I can confirm from two insiders that Oracle
is laying off thousands of employees.
Notifications were sent out today.
It comes as the company continues to double
down on its massive AI bed, developing and
leasing data centers across the country.
As we know, it's gone to the debt
market to fund these bets, now looking at
another option by reducing its workforce as a
way to drum up more cash.
In fact, there was a TD Cowen report
last month suggesting that 20 to 30,000
layoffs would free up around $10 billion.
So I look into this story like, well,
who are they firing?
Why are they firing?
And most of these companies, well, you know,
AI is so efficient, we don't need any
more, we don't need programmers, that's what everyone's
using now as an excuse to unload employees.
But in Oracle's case, I came across this
clip, Indian news source, it's kind of believable.
Fire the Indians!
Just days ago, we told you that tech
giant Oracle was planning mass layoffs, and now
that moment has arrived.
Tech giant Oracle Corporation has begun a mass
round of layoffs across its global offices.
Employees in the US, India, and other regions
are reportedly receiving termination emails.
TODI, with many, informed that the same day
would be their last working day.
There was no prior notice, no HR call,
and no discussion with managers, just a formal
email from the company leadership.
Well, there is no official confirmation yet on
the scale of layoffs.
Posts from individuals claiming to be affected or
aware of the situation suggest that multiple teams
in India may have been impacted.
Some users allege that entire teams saw significant
reductions, while others claim that even managers were
not informed in advance about who would be
let go.
Teams across multiple divisions, including key tech and
operations units, have reportedly seen significant job cuts,
with some teams losing nearly 30% of
their workforce.
Oracle's India operations, including its development centers, have
also been impacted, with employees across roles and
levels affected.
The company has offered severance packages, but only
after employees signed separation documents for India.
The severance is expected to follow the standard
N plus 2 formula, while uninvested stock benefits
will not be paid.
Reports suggest that this could be one of
Oracle's biggest restructuring exercises, with estimates indicating up
to 30,000 job cuts globally.
The move is being linked to the company's
aggressive expansion into AI infrastructure, which has significantly
increased financial pressure.
I think it's valid to say that you
can get rid of a bunch of Indian
programmers.
That seems pretty valid.
Yeah, get rid of them, 20,000 of
them.
What's the wrong, Phoebe?
Why are you barking?
Okay, I have a few clips now.
All right.
Let's start with the Kid Rock clip.
You heard about this, right?
I've heard about it.
I somehow was able to avoid it.
Tonight, the breaking headline after those U.S.
Army Apache attack helicopters hovered over Kid Rock's
house, the performer saluting them.
Tonight, what's now happened to those Army pilots.
Let's get right to Martha Ravitz.
David, tonight, a major reversal.
Early today, the Army said they had suspended
the four crew members of those Apache attack
helicopters, which were seen in that video doing
a low-level flyby in front of the
home of singer Kid Rock in Nashville.
He could be seen waving and then saluting
the crew.
The Army is saying they take any allegations
of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously.
President Trump, who is a friend of Kid
Rock's, even said they probably shouldn't have been
doing it.
You're not supposed to be playing games.
But shortly after the president made those comments,
Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X, the U
.S. Army pilots' suspensions lifted.
No punishment.
No investigation.
Carry on patriots, he said, and thanked Kid
Rock.
All right.
I have some personal experience with this, but
your commentary is welcome.
You know, it was goofy.
They probably shouldn't do this stuff.
It's a waste of the taxpayers' money.
So, I went to Iraq in 2003, and
we were there with the Dutch Marines.
We made one excursion.
It was about a six-hour drive to
Basra base.
And that's where the Dutch heli detachment was.
And they were running all the Chinook helicopters.
And so we hung out without...
We were doing documentary.
We were filming.
We were doing live radio show from Camp
Smitty in Samoa province.
And it was known that I had my
helicopter license.
I was flying helicopters at the time in
Holland.
And so these guys, like, we'll fly you
guys back.
Now, I cannot confirm or deny if they
let me fly the helicopter to 150 foot
above the deck.
But anyway, so you make friends.
You make friends.
So you got to fly a Chinook?
I can't confirm or deny, but heck yeah.
You know how that works?
It's the easiest helicopter to fly in the
world, because there's no torque.
There's no counter torque because of the two
rotors.
Right.
So you don't have to, you know, coordinate
your feet with your...
Oh, that's cool.
And so what they do is they have
a GPS moving map display and they overlay
a piece of plastic, you know, like when
I was...
For anyone who remembers the overhead projector.
What's that called?
Was it called the overhead projector where you
put the slides on?
They were called overhead projectors.
Thank you.
The cellophane and those would be transparent foils.
Foils, foils.
Oh man, you got to go look that
one up, kids, to see what we had
before you had video projectors.
We had a box of light and you
put a foil on it that had, you
know, drawings on it and letters and it
would project up to a mirror and the
mirror would then project onto a screen or
the wall.
And you'd move these foils back and forth.
The good old days.
So they had one of those foils and
they had a line on it and it
said just follow the line.
And you had to go 150 feet because
if you're any higher, the RPGs could get
to you.
That's what they said.
So, anyhow, I'm flying 150 feet.
It was like a video game.
It was so easy.
And then it's like, okay, you're going to
do a 40 degrees right, 3, 2, 1.
So did that.
Anyway, did the whole thing.
We landed at our base.
But we became friends.
And when I would fly from the castle,
ah, the days were good when I had
money.
We'd fly from the castle up to Amsterdam
because I had a helipad at the house.
Oh man, I miss having that.
Anyway, spent it all.
Burned it in the air.
And I'd fly past the helicopter base.
And so sometimes they'd come out with two
Chinooks and they'd fly side by side.
I'm in my little helicopter.
And sometimes they'd say, okay, we're forcing you
to land.
We're forcing you to have coffee.
Okay, and so I'd land at the base.
But from time to time, they would come
over the house, over the castle in Belgium.
With the Chinook, they'd open the loading bay
door and they'd wave.
They'd be waving.
And it was incredibly destructive because plants were
flying all over the place.
Koi were flying out of the pond.
And it was fun.
And I was like, it's not really wasting
any money.
They're in the area.
They just fly by.
They go, hey, Curry.
And they wave and they fly off.
So then, you know, why this is such
a big scandal, I don't know.
It's Kid Rock, you know.
It's a Trump.
Well, yeah, they hate Trump.
Which brings us to the other scandal.
I might as well get to this one.
The update on the ballroom.
The troll room was like, you had Koi?
Ballroom update.
A new stop work order from a federal
court on President Trump's passion project.
The White House ballroom.
That order halts construction unless Congress approves the
plans.
The administration quickly appealed.
The President clearly frustrated.
Basically, he's saying I need Congressional approval.
And he's so wrong.
Judge Richard Leon had granted the request of
a preservation group with a pointed message for
the builder-in-chief.
The President of the United States is the
steward of the White House for future generations
of first families.
He is not, however, the owner.
The ballroom is never far from the President's
mind, publicly balancing his wartime duties and construction
management.
I'm so busy that I don't have time
to do this.
But I'm fighting wars and other things.
This is very important.
His vision, gigantic with seating capacity for up
to 1,000 guests.
The cost swelling to $400 million.
Privately funded, he says.
Buried below...
The military is building a big complex under
the ballroom.
This new legal fight spurred by that October
surprise.
The destruction of the East Wing ended century
of history.
Wreckage without the typical oversight.
The federal judge writes the President went too
far.
No statute comes close to giving the President
the authority he claims to have.
And Kelly O'Donnell also live at the White
House tonight for us.
Kelly, construction continued today, though?
The judge does allow that they can finish
up projects so that they don't leave the
site unsafe.
Well, the President said the entire project is
about safety, and he suggested they can keep
going.
I can't wait until this thing is finished,
the ballroom.
I think Marco Rubio is going to get
the boys back together.
That would be good.
For a dance.
Put on a show.
For a little show.
Well, there was a follow-up to this,
which was always, you know, kind of half
conspiracy, half, like, well, makes sense.
And Carolyn Levitt had to answer the question
in the briefing room.
Can you tell us more about this massive
military complex underneath the President's new ballroom?
I cannot tell you more about that, actually,
as a matter of fact.
However, the military is making some upgrades to
their facilities here at the White House, and
I'm not privy to provide any more details
on that at this time.
Yeah, massive.
Upgrade, upgrade, you know what that means.
Under the White House, the military is already
there.
Yeah.
With a bunker.
Yeah, well, I don't think that was a
surprise, was it?
Well, I, yeah, a little bit.
I'm kind of expecting.
The White House, the President lives there.
What's going on underneath the, in the basement?
Important stuff.
Well, the first, have you not watched Paradise?
Don't you know how this works?
I love that show.
Paradise?
Yeah, it's probably one of those shows you
watch 30 seconds and went, it's on Hulu.
The second season, just, I think the second
season is almost over.
What's it about?
Massive event, volcanic eruption, and then everyone starts
shooting off nukes at each other, and some
Silicon Valley billionaires had built an entire underground
city in a bunker in Colorado in the
mountains and the President and these billionaires all
go there, and there's, I don't know, 20
,000 people, and they live in a bit
of a, what is it, what was the
movie with Jim Carrey?
Truman Show.
A bit of a Truman Show world, where
there's a fake sky, and they have, you
know, they've got Waffle House, and they all
live their little lives, but people on the
outside survived, and so then the people on
the outside are trying to get on the
inside, and it just goes on from there.
Sounds far-fetched.
Not really.
Not really.
Well, I mean, the whole world underground was
pretty elaborate, but it's a pretty good show.
I mean, you know, what else are we
going to watch?
Well...
Exactly.
Chinese television, like you, to learn how to
speak Chinese?
How's that working out?
Mandarin.
Mandarin, yeah.
Ah-so.
Yeah, ah-so yourself.
Okay, so have you heard the Matt Gates
stuff?
No.
All right.
Well, now you're going to hear it.
Good.
Matt Gates on aliens.
I think the most important information will be
the biologics that are not human, that have
been discovered, and, like, even some of the
briefings that aren't classified just need to be
out in the public.
I mean, I had someone come and brief
me, who was in a military uniform, worked
for the United States Army, that was briefing
me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs
where captured aliens were breeding with humans to
create some hybrid race that could engage in
intergalactic communication.
An actual uniformed member of the United States
Army briefed me on that.
What the eff is going on?
Wait a second, you had whistleblowers tell you
this kind of thing?
Do you, please, unpack that?
This is a four-minute clip.
We're playing the whole thing.
Oh, I thought I broke it into two.
Well, you tell me when to stop.
There is a number two that's 30 seconds.
Stop it there.
Stop it.
Play number two.
What do you mean non-human biologics?
Well, that was the testimony of David Grush
before the House Oversight Committee, which I joined,
and the testimony was that in crashes of
craft that had been recovered by the CIA
and through a special program that the CIA
had for crash recovery, that it wasn't just
the hard materials, it was also biologics, but
that they couldn't identify a human source of
those biologics.
Nah, David Grush, isn't he the guy that
makes alien movies?
Let me check.
I'm pretty sure that's the guy.
Yeah, he says he's a whistleblower, but hasn't
he been working making movies for over a
decade?
The whole thing is sketchy.
It is.
I mean, look, I flew to go meet
an alien one time.
I was all in on this stuff.
I've only been disappointed time after time after
time.
Yeah, you're going to meet an alien.
During the show, the show era, you were
going to meet an alien.
I was promised.
You were all jacked up about it.
Yes.
And cocky, I might add.
Well, this was in my second wife days.
Or was it my first, though?
I don't remember.
No, no, no.
This was before your second wife.
Go on.
Well, I was just going to say, I
wanted you to confirm that it was before.
It was around that time.
I remember I had the airplane.
You had a lot of stuff, and you
are also a big believer in spraying water
into gasoline or something.
No, no.
I had a hydroxy booster, which created hydrolysis
and created a gas automobile efficiency.
Yeah, that was that era.
And then because the alien guy not showing
up, you bummed out on the whole thing.
Yeah, because I got screwed once again.
I'm not buying it anymore.
That's what it looks like.
You got screwed on that deal.
So the whole thing is going on around
and around because of the Spielberg movie.
Oh, do you have a clip?
What is the Spielberg movie?
Last year, remember that movie, Disclosure?
Oh, they're going to blow the lid off
everything and get all these people in Congress.
That wasn't a Spielberg movie, though.
No, no.
I'm just saying last year.
Last year, there was a movie called Disclosure,
or something like Age of Disclosure or some
damn thing.
Rubio was in the movie.
Oh, yeah.
They told us that there was aliens.
Oh, yeah.
There's one guy after another.
Just bogus testimony.
No evidence.
No photos.
No alien autopsies.
No nothing.
The whole thing.
So now this year, Spielberg's got a movie
coming out just shortly called Disclosure something.
You can look it up.
I'm looking it up now.
Spielberg's movie.
Hold on a second.
There's got to be a trailer.
Let me see.
Spielberg.
I don't know if the trailer's out.
Disclosure trailer.
Oh, maybe.
Usually these things.
If you're talking about it.
Here we go.
Three weeks ago.
Here we go.
Let's see.
I got this.
Whoa.
Oh, he's got special access.
Are they people?
No.
They're aliens.
What?
Oh, no.
Crop circles.
They got crop circles.
Man, remember the crop circles?
Oh, yeah.
In England?
Every week there was a new crop circle.
And I was all in on that too.
Like, these are real, John.
This is not some...
Yeah, you were quite convinced.
I know.
And people miss that about the show.
But what can I say?
I know.
That's why I'm bringing this in.
Oh, please.
Hold on.
Let's listen to this some more.
From director Steven Spielberg.
Oh, no.
She's having a brain freeze.
She's stroking out.
Is it a vaccine injury?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Her head is changing.
What's happening?
Oh, no.
It's about to explode?
Oh, the nuns are watching.
Do you understand what she's saying?
I can't wait to watch that one.
Yeah.
Exciting.
So, I have a very long clip here.
I didn't intend to put it in the
show, but it's about Spielberg.
And there's this hack.
It's a hack.
It's probably not really a hack.
But this guy, Peter Duke, who's been a
showrunner.
He's been in Hollywood forever.
He's on the Ripple Effect podcast.
That's a popular podcast.
It's very popular.
I think it's well done.
They hate Jews.
Standard stuff.
It's your go-to.
That kind of thing.
What's your podcast about?
We hate Jews.
Stuff like that.
That's our podcast.
That's what we do, man.
It's simple.
It doesn't take a lot of effort.
So, they had this guy on talking trash
about Spielberg.
And I thought it got interesting if you,
I think the first minute and a half
you play this Peter Duke Ripple Effect.
If you play the first minute and a
half, he claims with some justification that Spielberg
has always worked for the Pentagon.
Oh, yeah.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Let's play this.
Richard Grove, he did a great documentary.
Probably one of my favorite documentaries and one
I recommend quite often.
The State of Mind, The Psychology of Control,
which really goes into the whole history of
social engineering and how far back it goes
and these techniques have been used over and
over again to control the masses.
I guess when you talk about that, it
kind of highlights what you're saying in regards
to the Zeitgeist movement got a lot of
shit from religious people, Peter Joseph.
But I think one of the things he
was trying to highlight in his first film
was the fact that you can use religion
to control the masses.
He was kind of opening up talking about
all these techniques to control the masses from
false flags and these events that spark emotion
and empathy and revenge and then use that
like September 11th to go into Iraq and
Afghanistan or you use spirituality, religion, scripture this
higher power idea to convince you that you're
doing something for the greater good.
So yeah, these are all techniques to control
people.
Somebody else we brought up quite a bit
and I wanted your thoughts on it because
it's complete left turn but I'm kind of
curious.
You talked about Steven Spielberg.
What do you think of his new movie
Disclosure or Disclosure Day?
There's a lot of conversations about why he's
doing a movie like this.
I know he's always kind of been, people
say he's always been fascinated with the topic.
Do you think it's just him being fascinated
with the topic or is it more like
you mentioned?
Is there a reason for the timing?
I think Steven Spielberg is part of the
Pentagon and he's very good at what he
does.
I mean, one of the things that they're
very good at, the Office of Net Assessments,
I think, goes out and assesses people.
And I think that Steven Spielberg was assessed
as very competent at what he does because
he is very competent at what he does.
And it's funny because when I worked at
the Shoal Foundation Institute my title had been
at every other company that I worked at,
creative director but I wasn't allowed to have
that title and I wasn't allowed to have
that title because Steven doesn't believe that creativity
is human.
He believes that it's a gift from God
and that you can be a design director
but you can't be a creative director, which
I always thought was so he's very specific
about words, but now that I'm so specific
about words, I totally understand where he's coming
from.
But I've had several friends who were personal
assistants to Steven Spielberg in different capacities, but
like in the room with him every day,
following him around, taking notes, getting stuff done.
One of my friends told me that he
was working at Amblin, which was down the
drive.
I was at Stage 35, which doesn't exist
to this day, but in the 1990s when
I was working on a lot of Universal,
when I worked for Joel Schumacher, I worked
at Amblin.
Wait, wait, you can stop it there, but
you have to let this finish because he
has a really good story in the producer's
building, which is next to what they call
the Black Tower in the front of the
studio.
This is the problem, he's doing a shaggy
dog.
Hold on, people out there who do, if
you're going to start doing podcasts, Mimi does
this.
You get to the point.
He's getting to the point, but all of
a sudden now he's talking about this and
that.
He's roaming away, he's shaggy dogging the thing.
It's annoying.
So do you want me to shuttle forward?
No, no, keep playing.
Now that I've warned everybody, they can put
up with it.
When I worked at Gameworks, I worked on
Stage 35, which was an old sitcom stage.
I mean, was my helicopter story too shaggy
dog?
I didn't think that was too shaggy dog.
No, no, not at all.
When you do shaggy dog, believe me, you
noted my displeasure.
Yes, yes.
It was in the back lot, close to
where they have all of the outdoor scenes
sets.
And it's just down the drive.
The reason I was on that stage is
because it was just down the driveway from
Amblin.
And Amblin is a building that Lou Wasserman
built for Steven Spielberg after, I think, Jaws
came out.
Lou Wasserman didn't want Steven Spielberg to ever
leave Universal, and he basically built him a
little palace on the back lot at Universal,
which is still there to this day.
So my friend who worked at Amblin told
me that they used to ask the same
question that I asked when I worked in
the producer's building, which is, how do they
decide what movies they're going to make?
And he told me about an event that
happened where Steven went and was gone for
a couple of weeks and met with some
people and he didn't go into any details
about who the people were.
But at one point, Steven called into the
office and they had an all hands meeting,
and everybody came into the conference room and
everybody at Amblin came into a conference room
with their yellow legal pads and their pens,
and Steven was on the speakerphone, and he
told them what the nine projects were that
they were going to do that year.
He just dictated them out.
We're going to make a movie about this.
We're going to make a movie about that.
We're going to make a television series about
this.
We're going to make a television series about
that.
And everybody got their marching orders, and then
they went and they made those movies and
made those TV shows.
So that story, to me, makes me think,
well, he was getting read in.
You know, he was meeting with the Tavistock
people or...
The Tavistock people?
You mean the trans people?
No.
Let it finish.
It's almost done.
You know...
Literally five and a half minutes.
You owe me.
That's why I said you had to break
it up.
He gets his marching orders from, and they
tell him, this is what you're going to
go make.
These are the movies and the TV shows
that you're going to make.
Why don't you just go on that podcast?
I mean, you're playing a podcast on a
podcast.
Yeah, okay.
So the point he's trying to make, which
you won't let him finish.
No, I'll let him finish.
I think that's the way it works.
I think that's the same way it works
with Chris Carter and the same way that
it works with Mark Burnett and with Sammy
Ismail and all the other showrunners.
Who's the guy who did Buffy the Vampire
Slayer?
These people get marching orders.
Oh, I get it.
The Jews.
And they march.
The Jews.
He's moving on to a more general view.
I agree with this.
He's talking about Slo Mo and Weisenheimer and
all those guys.
How did these things get...
Who picks what and how?
You know, Brunetti, I sent him this clip
and he had no pushback on it.
He was offered to go to one of
these meetings and given marching orders.
He's Brunetti, so no, I'm not going.
But this is not surprising.
Is this surprising to you?
Well, a little bit for a guy like
Spielberg.
Oh, no.
He's the top guy.
Think of all the movies he's done that
have been important for social engineering.
Absolutely.
Oh, no.
In fact, I think this is why OpenAI
had to shut down Sora.
It's like, you can't do that.
We can't have everybody syoping everybody else with
movies.
You've got to shut that stuff down.
And what do they do?
Oh, look, we've got a great camera for
you, Hollywood.
I'm convinced of it.
You've got to stop that.
We can't have people making their own propaganda
movies.
In fact, I've got a clip here.
Where's this from?
This is from Global, the Canadian guys.
And they're talking about the propaganda which is
done with AI by both Iran or Iranian
actors and America or American actors or Jews.
I don't know.
The propaganda war over Iran has taken a
strange turn.
The White House and the Iranian regime are
trolling each other online in a war of
means, posting videos like these on their official
social media channels.
It started with the White House posting videos
of real airstrikes on Iran, edited together with
clips from American action movies and video games,
even SpongeBob SquarePants.
You want to see me do it again?
With captions such as Justice the American Way
and Wake Up Daddy's Home.
This obscene focus on lethality and the celebration
of violence, this focus on a gaming culture
where victims vanish from moral consideration is utterly
immoral.
Tehran is now firing back.
By the time a satellite finds me, I'm
already gone.
The regime's propaganda studio producing these animations.
Many depicting Lego figures of the U.S.
President, Israeli Prime Minister and the Devil, plotting
attacks on Iran to distract from the Epstein
scandal.
A lot of this stuff would seem silly
if it wasn't obviously such a serious situation.
Is this stuff actually effective?
I mean, I think it's effective in functioning
as rallying cries.
We are talking about content that's been viewed
in the billions.
What started as a propaganda war between the
American and Iranian governments has now spiraled into
an online free-for-all with other apparently
ordinary users deploying AI technology to produce not
only memes but deepfake videos of the war.
This video purports to show an Iranian attack
on the U.S. Navy in the Strait
of Hormuz.
While this one claims to show Israel's airport
being struck by an Iranian missile.
Both are fake.
The use of AI is just shedding doubt
everywhere.
So it's making things more believable but it's
also making things not believable in the sense
that anything and everything can be edited or
fully AI generated.
This parallel information war is blurring the lines
between real and fake.
So this is the real issue at hand
and the video stuff, you know, movies is
definitely the way to go.
Remember the CIA was all over the Moscow
Music Peace Festival and I didn't even know
it at the time.
Other than I got interviewed by some dudes
who came into my manager's office and said,
oh you're going to Russia stay away from
hookers they're all KGB, stay at the hotel,
you don't want to go anywhere else, you
want to be careful.
But as it turns out, that was you
know, listening to the Winds of Change podcast
that whole thing was a psy-op to
get kids to get ready to bust out
when the wall came down.
And they, you know, we all know that
it was David Hasselhoff who premeditated that.
But the real psy-ops is social media.
And if we believe him or not, here's
a blast from the past, Steve Pchenik, we
haven't talked about him in a long time.
Is this recent?
No, no, no, this is from back in
the day when we were still talking.
Steve Pchenik was quite explicit in telling me
that DARPA had been experimenting with social networks,
now probably not the way we have them
today, but online social networks, probably more along
the lines of news groups, you know, stuff
like that.
And maybe even America Online and the CB
Simulator to see how...
Oh, the CB Simulator.
No, that was CompuServe.
How you could manipulate people and how you
could have multiple actors online, you know, talking
for and against each other.
And the social media networks of today are
a goldmine, it's just a goldmine for this
type of operation.
I see it all the time on my
ex-account.
And you'll see people who are saying things,
people, bots, I'm convinced 70% of them
are bots.
And they'll be commenting on...
You go look at them, you know, no
followers, numbers in the name, account from 2016,
like, okay, yeah, that makes sense.
And this was the subject of a bit
here on Deutsche Welle.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Yeah, and none of it's good.
It's entertaining.
Well, how different is that, what's the difference
between that and having, like, in Russia or
Ukraine or wherever, a building full of people
on the computer acting as, you know, as
one with marching orders, say, 500 people making
an extra amount of money, and all they
do is post all day.
It's cheaper.
You think it's cheaper?
I think the AI is cheaper, yeah.
It's a lot cheaper.
But it's the same thing.
Yeah, but, you know, they can do it
24-7, they can micro-target stupid podcasters.
Eh, let's get after that curry.
Eh, let's do that.
He gets all worked up and he does
a voice.
I'm telling you.
Somebody said that to you.
What, no, people say that all the time.
When people email me, read this in your
libtard voice.
That's the one I'm not going to read,
okay?
That's not how it works.
Anyway, no psyops here.
And with that, I want to thank you
for your courage in the morning to you,
the man who put the sea in the
cockeyed bazongas.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
DeMora.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam
McHurry.
Also, in the morning to all ships and
sea boots on the ground, feed the airships
and the water dames and knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls, let me
tell you a little, let me tell you
a little story.
We got 1,404, 1,404 trolls listening
live to us as we speak.
And what?
What?
It's not that good.
We're losing it.
Well, you know, you're not that good.
You know, you're not up to strength.
You know, you're, you know, it's true, but
that doesn't mean you have to abandon me.
Oh, they abandoned you right away.
The minute Mimi came in.
Like, oh, well, that was fun.
Well, it lasted stupid to the Dvorak.
It has nothing to do with Mimi.
It's just you.
You know, it's bad for the show.
Well, it's the truth.
And have you contacted Void Zero about the,
about the email?
Working on it, working on it, working on
it.
So that's an L.
Hey, you know, I'm running at 50%.
Hey, I'm the first one to say, I'm
amazed that you're doing this show at all.
No, I appreciate that too.
At all.
People forget, and they forget.
They have no idea.
Your chest was cracked open.
You're going to be 74 years old on
Sunday.
So, you know, you're not, you know, wretchedly
old, but it's, you know, it's a big
procedure.
And within a week of coming out of
the hospital, you're like, here I am, I'm
doing the show.
I appreciate that.
I do.
I also think that you need to do
the show.
It's a part of your healing process.
Yeah, well, it gets me, yes, I do.
So support John, if it's only just to
keep him alive.
This is the whole point of the newsletter.
Support the show.
Support the show, support the old man living.
Those trolls are listening at noagendastream.com and
they are, many of them are trolling along
in the troll room.
It's always much appreciated.
And of course you can always listen on
a modern podcast app.
This is what we recommend because then when
we send off, when we fire off the
bat signal, you will be notified.
And if you're in the car, if you're,
that's your job.
Some of these modern podcast apps are pretty,
they're pretty elaborate.
Yes, have you tried any of them?
Which ones have you tried?
Yeah, Podverse recently.
Very impressed.
Wait until you see Podverse Next Generation.
Mitch has been building on that for over
a year.
And Martin's come back with Podfriend.
It's a friendly podcast app.
It's very fun.
And he has all kinds of comments and
stuff you can do.
And this, the people just keep building.
They keep on building.
All part of Podcasting 2.0, which I
just do for the love of it.
Now you can listen tomorrow.
We do the show live, the boardroom, we
call that.
About 400 people will listen total.
So these modern podcast apps, when we go
live, this is something we developed, then boom,
you get a notification and you can listen
live to the show.
Or within 90 seconds of publishing, you will
get the show in your app.
No waiting for these legacy apps.
Don't wait around for those anymore.
That's newpodcastapps.com.
No Agenda Show has pioneered the value for
value model.
And the way that works is we don't
have any ads.
We don't have any forced subscriptions.
Gosh, there was a great post someone showed
me.
The other, I forgot where that was.
I should have saved it.
There's no bonus content that you get if
you're a member.
No special meetings, no special handshakes.
Everything is out in the open.
We give you the best that we have,
which is really only 50% because John
is slagging.
So, well, I mean, with my 100, it's
75%.
So we can do better.
But bear with us.
He'll get back to speed.
He'll be as grouchy and grumpy as always.
And he'll be pushing back more.
I mean, you're not pushing back.
This is the main complaint.
You let Adam get away with everything now.
Well, okay.
Just saying.
Just giving you some feedback, show feedback.
Well, who said that?
Oh, people, just people, bots, bots, bots on
X.
So the way we do it is value
for value.
We give you all the value we have,
and it is everything.
We put it all out there, all the
value we have, a lot of work goes
into the show.
John came loaded for bear.
Did you get some clips from the clip
collector, from Steve Jones?
I have, yes, because I encouraged him to
do that, and he's helping me out.
Yeah, I saw that.
And I have to, yeah.
I noticed.
I have to organize, get together with him
so I can, so he uses my-
Your system.
My system, yeah.
Your naming system, yes.
I recognize his numbering and naming system.
Oh, okay.
So now the clip collector, he's making decisions
over which clips to give me and which
clips to give you.
All right, that's nice.
So the way I see it, he gave
half of the clips to you.
Actually, more than half.
He gave me a lot of clips.
He did, he did, very nice.
Well, this is what we're talking about.
So that's one of the ways you can
return value.
We consider everybody who's listening to the show
not to be a fan or audience or
listener.
You're a producer.
This is something we do it all together.
So your job is to help us produce,
and you can do that by returning value
in one of the three T ways, time,
talent, or treasure.
That's all we ask for.
So helping produce clips, boots on the ground
reports, or we have artwork, which we always
appreciate people doing their best to come up
with some prompts that make it funny.
Now, the episode 1855, which he did on
Sunday, it was titled Gooder.
There's no way we couldn't use that.
And this piece of art, a lot of
people came in with Gooder arts, Gooder art
pieces, and totem poles.
Totem poles were a big hit for some
reason.
Yeah.
And so we had to- You know
what, I got a note from one of
our producers.
You're full of crap.
The totem poles aren't only in Washington and
BC.
We have them in Alaska.
It's the same basic group of Indians.
Yes, First Nations people, all right?
Yeah, whatever.
So Dan OB- I'm just old enough
and having had a heart attack, I can
say what I want.
You know, have you ever tried this on
your kids?
You're giving me a heart attack.
I mean, you should try that.
It's a little too late now.
You're giving me another heart attack.
Dan OBGYN4 is the one we chose.
We liked this one.
It had a lot in it.
It had John's Order of the Red Heart.
It had a microphone.
It had 33s.
It had what looked to me like a
Mac Plus baked into it, and then Curry
Dvorak totems behind it.
The whole thing was good.
The clouds, no agenda.
Do you think this was completely AI, or
did he do some work to it?
I think it was completely AI.
Well, it's dynamite.
It's dynamite, I tell you.
But he nailed it.
He did.
Let's take a look at some of the
other pieces that people sent in as suggestions.
He had another version of this, which wasn't
quite as compelling.
That looked like Super Mario Brothers.
I didn't quite like that one.
The one I kind of, we don't do
our faces.
I did like Scaramanga's version of you with
tats and a white T-shirt, and you
had a bandana, and on the wall, it
says, no agenda is gooder.
I kind of liked that one.
That was kind of cool, but we don't
really like using our faces, our likenesses.
Can we explain why?
No, I don't.
Yeah, you've forgotten.
I've forgotten why.
Is it a copyright violation?
No.
The first three or four years of the
show, every single piece of art was just
the two of us in various poses.
Oh, yeah.
It was us every, every, and it was
getting to the point where it was like,
no, no, no.
We got sick of ourselves.
We were sick of ourselves.
We got sick of it, and we banned
it.
We said, no more pictures of us because
there's at least 1,000.
And people still do it.
They don't know about the ban, apparently.
Yeah, no, it's banned.
Yeah, it's banned, but comic strip blogger, keep
doing the buts.
You're not gonna get chosen, but it's always
fun.
We can say, oh.
You did point out that comic strip blogger
nailed your walker on his piece here.
Yeah.
With the handbrakes.
Yeah.
How you doing with that thing?
Are you getting around?
Well, I mean, I only use it when
I'm out, you know, when I'm out.
Here's the reason you have to have it.
When you're out hitting on the lady.
Hey, lady.
Hey, girls.
Because you had your chest ripped open, and
you have the breastplate and everything has to
heal.
If they glue it back together and staple
it and all this, it takes like months
and months to get it to the point
where it's secure.
So if you fall, if you fall under
the circumstances that I'm currently existing within, you
have to be taken back to the emergency
room and they're gonna have to put you.
They're gonna screw you up.
It breaks it open.
Yeah, we don't want that.
So that's why you have this loose.
And I only use it outside if I
have to walk around.
And I can walk pretty fast.
But it's not the walk, it's not the
problem.
It's just the accident, the possibility of a
trip.
And in fact, they tell you this at
the hospital.
If you fall within the next four months,
you don't let anyone try to pick you
up, call 911.
That's the nature of it.
If that doesn't drive you to grabbing one
of these devices, nothing will.
Okay, all right.
There you go.
Now, the more horrors.
Yes, horrors, more horrors.
Nobody wants to hear this.
I felt super bad because Tina went to
the PO box and she got our Little
John's Candies collab with Eli the Coffee Guy
gigawatt, which you can't have either.
You can't have chocolate or coffee.
Right.
Oh man, that stuff is so good.
Yeah, I know.
It has little cherries in there and they
sent us some chocolate Easter bunnies.
Also, who's the joker who sent us the
pool water?
Did you get a box of pool water?
I did not get a box of pool
water.
So it's artisan pool water.
They're like metal kind of aluminum bottles.
It seems like a novelty thing.
It's water, it's just water.
From the swimming pool?
Well, it's called pool water.
So yeah, that's kind of, it's funny.
But they sent it in a box marked
media mail, which I believe is intended for
stuff like media, like photographs.
Yeah, it's a discount.
Well, right.
And so Tina picks it up.
I wish I was there.
The Pakistani lady got in her face.
You're stealing from me.
Tina's like, what are you talking about?
You're stealing.
This is stealing from the post office.
This is stealing from me.
And Tina's like, well, I didn't order this.
Someone sent it to me.
Well, next time I send it back or
I charge you.
She got really mad about it.
And Tina, well, but it's from one of
my husband's millions of listeners.
Well, I don't care about him.
What is he, a podcaster?
I ain't go away.
So don't do that, people.
Don't rip off the post office.
They got mad at us, the recipients.
Not supposed to do that.
Yeah, you're not supposed to do that, I
guess.
I don't know.
But it's appreciated, the pool water, but almost
as much, not as much as that Little
John's Candies gigawatt stuff.
It's a dynamite combination.
So we wanna thank all of our producers
who support us financially.
That is the treasure part of Time, Talent
and Treasure.
And we will thank everybody, $50 and above.
We have special, special spots reserved for those
who can afford more.
Just like any big Hollywood production, you can
be an executive or associate executive producer if
you got the goods.
So $200 or more, you receive the title
of associate executive producer, which is an absolute
bona fide production credit.
You can use it anywhere.
Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com.
Go take a look.
You'll see thousands are in there.
And we'll read your note.
$300 and above, same deal, only then you're
an executive producer and we'll read your note.
And we start off with $1,333.13
from Sir Anonymous, driver of The Gap.
And he says, John, glad you're getting better.
I can't deal with another loss this year.
Oh goodness.
Oh, this is sad.
We lost our son in the third trimester
late last year.
And this month we lost our four-year
-old puppy unexpectedly.
The podcast is a constant that I truly
love and look forward to.
No more losses, only additions in this year
ahead.
With one exception, no more AI ISOs.
They cheapen the product, he says.
He wants F22 Karma, which I'm sure he
won't mind if I upgrade it to F35
Karma.
And when I'm thinking of you, Sir Anonymous,
driver of The Gap.
You've got Karma.
Hey, is your foot hooked in the mic
cable again?
No, Lindsey Carson and Ressica, Ressica, I don't
know, Georgia.
Ressica, Ressica, probably Ressica.
Could be Ressica.
Ressica, I'm thinking Ressica.
Anyways, 86765, another big donation, that's pretty good.
Dear John and Adam, ITM Gents, this day
has been a long time coming.
Please de-douche me.
Here's a de- I'm sorry, it's the
wrong button.
You've been de-douched.
Wrong button.
Play that one.
What, the one I just played?
Yeah.
Hold on a second, let me load it
up again.
Here we go.
Here's a de-douche for the re-douche.
It was de-douche for the re-douche,
that's my mistake.
I have now finally paid my value for
value penances with a dame-worthy donation coincidence
that I made the largest sale of my
real estate career in the same week, in
the same week that JCD returned from the
lucid dead.
I think not.
My sister Lauren and my friend Alex both
hit me in the mouth a very long
time ago and I'm grateful for all things,
no agenda.
I can hear my voice.
You want me to pick it up?
Cause this is a long time.
I'm gonna finish this one.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna plow through it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I like it, right?
I really can't overstate how transformative the learning
live media deconstruction has been for me.
I just graduated my oldest daughter from homeschooling
and having the show's coverage of a political
and world events and especially all the wild
stuff happening in schools has been a huge
part of keeping me determined to stay the
course with her and with her two sisters.
Yes, of course.
You don't want your kids to be nut
jobs like the rest out there.
Yep.
The lifeline the show became during COVID also
stands out in my experience.
The show jargon, jingles, isos, mixes and inside
jokes are a constant source of entertainment and
make me feel like I'm part of something
special.
You are.
But my favorite story arc in the time
I've been listening is witnessing Adam's faith conversion.
What a testimony.
Anyway, ZZZ, I am beyond thrilled that I
will, I don't know what that means.
Oh, anyway.
Okay.
I am beyond thrilled that I would have
a chance to celebrate the 11th anniversary of
my 33rd, 33rd birthday this year by attending
my first meetup with my sister and fellow
human resources in Fredericksburg.
Woo!
I'd like to be known as Dame Lindsay
of the House Hunters.
And if any of the Noah generation needs
a realtor in Northwest Georgia, Google me and
let's connect.
Rosé and Hot Cheetos for the round table.
Jingle requests a foamer and you've got prayers
and you've got prayers should do it.
Thank you for your courage, Lindsay.
Listen to that horn!
You've got prayers.
♪ Praise the Lord, He rules.
♪ Uh, let me see.
I don't think I got the...
Guys, did we order the Cheetos?
The Cheetos and the Rosé?
They always have Cheetos.
They eat them.
Cheetos and Hot Rosé.
Okay.
And that was 86765.
We see what you did there.
Associate Executive Producership for Sir Nobody of the
3D Printer in Parland, New Jersey, 233 and
30 cents.
Hey John Adam, he says, I'm seeing 33s
everywhere so I must be grateful and donate.
I figured I'd plug a friend's Kickstarter.
I was at it.
I was at it?
It's for a movie followup from the makers
of Missouri Breaks The Ballad of Missouri Biltern,
an indie film that made it to Amazon
streaming.
Oh, we should all stream that then.
The Ballad of Missouri Biltern.
I like building up small projects to get
through the nihilism that has seemed to have
inhabited mainstream media for some reason.
Tinfoil hat people have fun with why nihilism
is going on.
Where even shadows fear to tread, phase one.
That's the Kickstarter.
I'll put that in the show notes.
I thank you as always for the show.
It breaks up the long hours of logistics
work with two jobs that are 24-7.
Sir Nobody of the 3D Printer definitely working
on a title change.
Got to look up the account, Jersey James
Scott and we thank you very much for
your courage.
Onward to Matthew.
Ah, our buddy.
Matthew Martel in Broomhall, Pennsylvania.

No, it's not.
Then we go to La Jolla Salt Corporation.
Void Zero is not doing the mailing.
No, he's not doing it.
I thought it was going to help you.
Yeah, it's going to help me, but it's
beside the point we had.
There's a lot of things at play all
at once.
Okay, there's a lot of things at play.
La Jolla Salt Corporation comes in with $210
.60 and we are very thankful.
They say decimate dry skin with a luxurious
sea salt scrub from lajollasalt.com.
Enjoy the dazzling moisture and exfoliating power of
our small batch sea salt scrubs and handmade

All things being equal, select to scrub, rinse,

People, please support the show.
It's good to have you back.
Buzzkill, happy birthday.
Thank you for your courage and go podcasting.
No, I'll read this one.
Eli the coffee guy, of course, in Bensonville,
Illinois, who has that coffee.
204 or two.
Might not be a coincidence, Artemis 2 launched
on April Fool's Day and is being pitched
as our return to the moon.
A little too on the nose, nonetheless.
I wish the lunar travelers Godspeed.
It's the perfect feel-good distraction from Iran,
high gas prices, and the usual background noise.
Maybe the moon shot still works as a
national therapy.
For coffee that's out of this world, visit
gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code IDM20 for 20
% off your first order.
Stay caffeinated, Eli the coffee guy.
And look who is back.
Yeah, how about that?
Dame Tanya Wyman from New York, New York,
with $201.
It's good to see your name on the
list, Tanya.
We hope you're doing well.
And she says, JCD, get well and happy
birthday.
Sending many soft hugs, because I can't squeeze
that chest.
Ladies, stop squeezing the podcast host.
This one brings me to countess level, plus
an associate executive producer credit.
Well-deserved.
Put me down for the countess of New
York City.
John, when you can drink again, I'll buy
you something fancy.
You bet you will.
Fancy, fancy, fancy.

We got stuff to look forward to.
Carl Snyder, Lake Bay, Washington.
Four more years.

By the way, my wife's birthday is April
5th.
My birthday is September 1st.
What are the chances?
I'm September 3rd, close.
That woman in Etobicoke, California.
Never heard of Etobicoke.
I haven't either.
77.47. And then that's not in California.
No, maybe it's Canada.
Well, it shows up here.
That's why we never heard of such a
thing.
Simon Bennett, Ipswich, that's in the UK.
Happy birthday, JCD.

A call for all the Danish producers to
donate $333.33 Danish kroner, which is about
35 bucks.
And come to our meetup.
He wants an F-cancer.
You know, I should probably do an F
-cancer for you.
Let's see, where's our F-cancer?
Here we go.
That's his mom.
Brought her to hospice yesterday, 1st of April,

Now, before we get to John's fabulous tip
of the day, that's just fabulous tip of
the day, I got a couple of ISOs
to go through.
I see you only have one.
I have four, so why don't I try
mine?
What's that?
Blame I won.
You won?
I have an appointment with anywhere, but here.
That's actually not bad.
It's not bad.
I have an appointment with anywhere, but here.
Okay, here's what I have.
It is amazing to think that they're on
top of this thing.
Call back ISO.
Everybody who loses gets a podcast.
Okay, maybe.
It was great.
Yeah, it's a classic.
And then, this is so good.
All right, I'll let you decide.
I think the so good.
Oh, you like that one, huh?
This is so good.
All right, well.
Or that or the Trump.
Well, the Trump is kind of classic.
Everybody who loses gets a podcast.
I kind of like that one.
All right, go for it.
All right, then we'll go for that one.
In the meantime, stand back.
It's time for John's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes, ask.
So, you know when you had the tip
about the honey, Manuka honey?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
It's the one honey in the world that's
got a composition deep within the honey that's
somewhat different than all other honeys.
Well, it turns out, and I probably would've
known about this years ago.
I probably wouldn't have had the heart attack.
It turns out that, Chris is gonna dramatize
that.
Yeah, right, keep going.
That there's an olive oil that has, that
there's a one spot in the world that
makes an olive oil whose composition includes a
lot of polyphenols that are healthy for the
heart and anti-inflammatory, are part and parcel
of the oil itself.
And you can go all over the world.
And everybody should note that olive oil is
not just from Italy or Greece or Spain.
Most South American countries make it, and I
always recommend trying it because you have different
flavor profiles.
California has terrific olive oil, by the way.
And France has terrific olive oil.
But this health-oriented olive oil, which is
also cheap because nobody knows about it, and
it comes from a kind of a lower
income area, is from Morocco.
So it's Morocco olive oil.
And the one I've been using is Atlas,
which is available on Amazon for a liter
for 24 bucks, rather medium priced, not expensive
at all.
But Moroccan olive oil.
You can do a little research and you'll
find out about it.
So is this, so I've heard, correct me
if I'm wrong, that you are indeed in
the final completion stages of a cookbook.
Yeah, the family cookbook.
Oh, it's the family cookbook.
And I understand that you are folding the
vinegar book into the family cookbook.
So I, and I understand that somebody in
the family obviously tipped you off to humiliate
me to get back to work.
And will you be including some olive oil
tips in this family cookbook?
Oh, there's a whole chapter on olive oil,
yeah.
And what is the, do we have a
name for this cookbook yet?
The Dvorak family cookbook.
Oh.
What, what?
No one can pronounce that.
They'll be like, I want that cookbook.
Okay, well you come up with a good
name and we're gonna use it.
The family that cooks together, stays together.
Well, there's some truth to that.
