Adam Curry.
John C.
DeVora.
It's Sunday, July 6, 2025.
This is your award-winning Gilboa Nation Media
Assassination Episode 1779.
This is no agenda.
Debunking small craft 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 Northern Silicon Valley, where we're burning
off the fat with pink salt and lemons.
I'm John C.
DeVorak.
It's crackpot and buzzkill.
In the morning.
Now, have you been watching TikTok again?
Is that where that comes from?
YouTube.
Oh, have you noticed how bad YouTube has
become?
You mean with the ads every five seconds?
Well, I honestly, I pay to not receive
the ads.
Otherwise, it would take me three days longer
to clip stuff for the show.
So I don't want the ads.
So that's another part of the public service.
Yeah, but then you miss out on the
pink salt, lemon juice, and vinegar.
Burns, it doesn't cost as much as Ozempic.
And some poor woman in Texas is getting
so skinny, she has to eat burgers and
Krispy Kreme to get their weight back up.
Oh, no.
Oh, so it's an ad.
Oh, interesting.
No, I did not know that.
All you have to do is watch the
video.
You're missing this.
Just click here and watch the video.
It's only three seconds.
The video, in five seconds, and then the
video never ends.
It's like, I don't know what the point
is.
Is they testing the public by making you
watch these videos that never end?
It's like the Stansbury Institute videos.
It's worse.
Those are my favorite, where you're watching, you're
watching, and you're watching, and then you're like,
hey, there's no timeline.
I can't fast forward.
You can't speed it up.
You can't slow it down.
I'm watching.
I'm watching.
Like, no, what is this?
They never tell you anything.
They never get to the punchline, ever.
No.
It's a test.
It's some sort of test.
It's an op.
I think you're right.
It is some kind of an op.
Well, it's been kind of crappy around here.
We do not have.
You're in the area where that horrible.
Yeah, we did not have a great.
Fourth of July was just completely rained out,
obviously.
And, you know, no parades, like everything.
Just it was very, very, very humid, very
wet.
And so pretty much everything was canceled.
Then, of course, we awoke on the 5th
to the tragedy that happened.
In Kerrville.
And, you know, besides the obvious, you know,
how can we help?
What can we do?
Which was not much.
In fact, they started turning people away pretty
quickly because they have.
They have so many people helping so many
volunteers that now people just getting in the
way.
And I'm just baffled.
I'm baffled at humanity in general, because right
away.
Right away, you know, you're trying to look
around, see, OK, well, let's get some information
here.
It was the 4th of July weekend, so
obviously the news is, you know, they had
to call everybody like, oh, there's something going
on.
So you go to social media and the
nut jobs, the retards.
It's unbelievable.
It's climate change.
It's chemtrails.
It's 5G towers.
It's cloud seeding.
Blue rain cropped up again.
I don't know.
Blue rain.
Oh, the blue was a hoax.
Like it's raining.
But it's a hoax.
It's blue.
It's raining blue in Texas.
It was just unbelievable.
And around here in our circles, there are
people who you cannot convince them otherwise.
Listen, I've been watching Ariana Masters for a
long time.
I trust her.
She knows what she's talking about.
This was clearly done by the government to
punish Texas for passing the bill.
I mean, I've heard everything in the past,
in the past 48 hours.
Everything you can imagine, except the obvious.
Here's this star, Ariana Masters, who has an
unbelievable following.
I don't know either way.
You gotta slow down.
This woman is just someone who has like
a sub stack.
I don't know who this is.
I've never heard of her.
Well, she's, you know, it's like, it's a
version of, what's that guy Mimi watches?
The storm guy.
Oh, right.
The storm guy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks.
Sorry.
It had come to mind, but yeah, she
loves that guy.
So the storm guy, you know, where you
got a big weather radar.
He was the tip of the day guy.
Yeah.
So only he's, you know, he's actually looking
at a radar and showing you what's going
on.
There are hundreds of people on YouTube and
TikTok and Instagram who show radar screens and
they interpret what they're seeing.
I have a little sample so you can
know.
And there are people who, it's a bit
like monkey works, you know, who's following the
airplanes like, oh, they're taking Hillary Clinton to
Guantanamo Bay.
There you go.
You remember that?
Yeah.
That's a good one.
Max Velocity is the guy.
Now Max Velocity, I like him.
You know, he's actually doing something.
He's okay.
He's okay.
But this, listen.
Oh my gosh, guys.
I'm in the middle of filming my daily
radar show.
I do this every single day.
The anomalies, I want to share them with
you.
This is what's been going on over Texas
for the last day, over 24 hours.
This looks like actual electricity shooting everywhere.
And yes, there will be some people who
come on here.
Oh, you need to learn how to read
radar.
Listen, I've been watching radar every single day.
And I'm telling you, this is super weird.
There is not rain here.
But I will tell you, the vast majority
of these anomaly storms that have been coming
out have been forming right here.
What's going on?
I want to know who lives in this
area.
And have you been feeling off?
Have you been dizzy, lightheaded?
Do you know people who have gone to
the ER for abnormal symptoms that were otherwise
healthy?
Do you know anyone with severe migraines right
now?
There is something going on here.
Keep an eye out for Texas.
Every place that I've covered every single day,
Texas has been the one state that has
never gotten a blip.
But what's interesting is, the theory is that
one of the many things that these towers
can supposedly do is literally heat up the
atmosphere because it's microwave radiation.
So if you heat up the atmosphere, you're
creating essentially a high-pressure zone, steering low
-pressure systems.
Notice how the high-pressure zone is right
here.
Yeah.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
No.
And she goes on for hours like that.
And then there's all kinds of randos on
Instagram and TikTok like this.
I won't play the whole thing.
You'll hear the minute I stop watching him.
After I show you what I have to
show you, there'll be absolutely no doubt.
No doubt of what?
Exactly.
Exactly that.
And by the way, we'll come right back
to this mammoth.
Were you aware that basically a hurricane formed
over Texas and it sat still, just sat
there for like 10 to 18 hours without
moving?
Where have we ever seen that kind of
stuff happen before?
It reminds me an awful lot of North
Carolina.
I wonder how things like that can just
happen.
I showed you earlier, whole houses being tooken
away by the water.
That's where I stopped.
Like this guy just said, tooken away.
Like, wow.
Okay.
So the problem is people are so, especially
here.
I mean, this is just south of us.
We have friends that live in Comfort, friends
that live in Kerrville, all the surrounding areas.
People who know people who had kids in
the camp, the camp, you know, like just
horrific, horrific, heartbreaking stories, heartbreaking stories.
And people are so traumatized.
They're just looking for anything and anything but
logic.
I mean, it's really, it is so sad
to me.
We all have supercomputers in our pockets.
We can communicate 24 seven in real time.
By the way, I have a commercial app.
It's not from NOAA, a commercial app that
was giving me warnings, you know, for 48
hours, flash flood, flash flood possible.
My car even, or Tina's car, flash flood.
Be careful.
Then nobody looks at history.
No one learns history anymore.
People have lost their ability to stand outside
and feel what's happening.
It was so obvious that if you are
in a floodplain, which is what all of
this area is now, we're 1400 feet elevation.
So we're not going to get a little
higher than that.
We're good.
We're good here.
You want to be up.
But, you know, in the old days, people
would go outside and go, hey, this is
not good.
This could be this could be a bad
situation.
You know, we should probably get to higher
ground.
I can just see Paul Ingalls doing it
on Little House on the Prairie.
I mean, we are so connected.
We're ignoring nature.
I've only been here for four years, but
even I know about the devastating floods of
past years.
The Guadalupe River has flooded many, many times.
I actually have the list here.
It's unbelievable.
Not everything is well documented, but we have
1838, 1848, 1868, 1872.
1906, 1913, 177 people died in that one.
1921, 1932, 35 inches of rain.
1936, 1952, 1972, 1973, all by the way,
in the month of July, August.
1978, 1987.
This is this is not all that long
ago for me.
That was that was, you know, the water
went up to 31 and a half feet
and and killed a whole bunch of campers
who were, you know, their bus got swept
away.
1989, 1991, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2015, 18, 2020,
21, 2025.
It happens all the time.
But now all of a sudden it's the
government who was out to get us.
No, we're retarded.
We have all of this communication and all
we're doing is sitting on TikTok and Instagram
go, oh, look at the weather.
It's raining.
It's even even John Cornyn is a moron.
And this was a hundred year flood event
in an area that had been known to
flood, but nothing like this, where the floodwaters
rose 26 feet in about 45 minutes.
It's not a hundred year flood event.
We're going back to 1987.
Here's an actual overview that where they had
some video and some sensible commentary from KVU.
The Texas Hill Country is famed for its
breathtaking scenery with rivers winding through steep hills
and rugged valleys.
But beneath that beauty lies danger.
This region is among the most flash flood
prone areas in the United States.
One of the most devastating floods occurred in
July 1978, when tropical storm Amelia made landfall
in Corpus Christi and moved inland.
The weakened system stalled over the headwaters of
the Medina and Guadalupe rivers, unleashing torrential rain
across the Hill Country.
Eight people drowned near center point and 25
more lost their lives in Kerr, Kendall and
Bandera counties.
Then Governor Dolph Briscoe flew to comfort to
assess the damage firsthand.
Until the recent July 4th floods, the deadliest
weather event in the Guadalupe River's history came
in July 1987.
As much as 15 inches of rain fell
west of Hunt in the river's upper basin.
A group from a Baptist church in North
Texas attempted to evacuate their youth camp.
As buses and vans tried to cross a
low water crossing, a wall of water surged
in from the west, quickly engulfing the vehicles.
Helicopter crews managed to rescue some campers and
staff clinging to trees, but 10 teenagers died.
Flooding struck again in early July 2002, when
Kerrville recorded 19 inches of rain, making it
the city's wettest month since August 1978.
Between Kerrville, Center Point and Comfort, an astonishing
40 to 50 inches of rain were reported.
Texas leads the nation in flood-related deaths
by a significant margin.
Between 1959 and 2019, at least 1,069
people died in floods across the state.
A large share of those fatalities occurred in
the Hill Country, a region grimly nicknamed Flash
Flood Alley, for good reason.
There you go.
So if people just knew history and thought
for two seconds.
It's not even really history, it's almost current
events.
I know, that's what's so sad about it.
You could just, you know, there was a
jet stream that was at like 5,000
feet.
I mean, it's all, being a pilot, I've
studied a lot of weather, and you learn
to kind of look at the sky and
see what's going on.
And you read some reports, you know, we
have the terminal area forecast and the METARs
and all these different reports.
And you're like, okay, this is obvious.
Then you look at, I have, what is
the app I have?
It's, I pay for it because I like
their radar, which they obviously are paying for,
my radar.
And you can see it.
And this came from the kind of north,
northeast.
It was moving very, very slowly.
So it was a very atypical storm, but
you could see it and it was obvious.
And if you're in Kerr County and Comfort,
you know, Kerrville and Comfort, then you know
this is dangerous.
But no, people are TikToking, Instagramming away.
I'm not going to say, I'm going to
blame it on parents or anything like that.
But we, I think we had more, I
mean, you're like that.
Of course, you're a hundred years old.
You know, this is where people need to
respect boomers because sometimes we know stuff.
You know, we remember things.
History, someone in the troll room just posted,
history started yesterday, these days.
People are over-socialized, under-educated.
The thing is, it's not these days.
We keep forgetting that little aspect of it.
This is not a new phenomenon for getting
history.
No, it's not.
In fact, the old saying that if, you
know, the doom to repeat it sort of
thing, the old saying is an old saying
because it's always been this way.
People just don't, you know, they're looking for
some quick explanation.
Like the current explanation is climate change.
Oh, a lot of that.
Or if you're a conspiracy type, the government's
out to get Texas.
Yeah.
And it's because Trump defunded the NOAA.
You know, if we had those satellites, you
know, it would be okay.
But I think the frustration for me is
we have all the information, the historical information.
We have the data is readily available in
many different forms and apps right there in
your hand.
And we have not improved.
And you're in a flood zone.
We haven't improved.
We're still just retarded.
It's unbelievable.
And by the way, it's not like I
sat there thinking, oh, there might be campers
in Kerr County.
I wasn't thinking that.
But I knew that this was bad.
I mean, I could see the storm just
sitting there.
And, you know, we had a lot of,
you know, a lot of water around the
house.
But it's basically rolling off because we're at
altitude.
So that's the sad part is we have
this.
We have all the capabilities.
And we just sit there and we're TikToking
and Instagramming.
And we're tweeting and posting and whining on
the blue cry.
And then when something bad happens, then it's
harp.
By the way, I used to be a
big harp guy.
But this was clear what it was.
But it's been going on for 100 years,
more routinely, not even generational.
It's like every few years.
From the rundown you have, which I think
is the best I've heard, to be honest,
about anywhere.
The one you just gave.
It just makes it ridiculous.
Anyways, and even more tragic.
Yeah.
Yes.
Super tragic.
And it is.
Everybody knows someone who lost somebody.
Or lost their home.
Or lost, you know, it's devastating.
And there we go.
That's a nice way to start the show.
Yeah, congratulations.
Happy 4th of July, everybody.
It brings me to a super cut clip
that I did, which would have been bigger
news.
It's still floating around.
A similar conspiracy-laden bullcrap.
And this one's my favorite one currently going
around, which is the notion that the government,
again, the government, is throwing people out of
airplanes.
You mean illegal immigrants?
Yeah, they're taking illegal immigrants and flying them
out to the 100 miles offshore and then
throwing them out the plane.
Okay.
And there's plenty of documentation.
Yeah, there's proof.
But I have, there's about four or five,
I decided I couldn't play.
I could play clip after clip after clip
and bore people stiff, but instead I put,
I put a little presentation together myself.
About a minute and 40, I guess.
Plane murderers.
You know how there were rumors that they
were throwing people out of cargo planes and
it didn't make sense to transport that many
people with cargo planes because it cost way
much more money anyway?
People have been washing up on shores, still
shackled together, deceased.
This is no longer a rumor.
This is what is happening.
Guys, they're throwing the deportees out of the
planes and into the ocean.
No, this is not a drill.
No, this is not fear-mongering.
They're shackling people, flying out into open ocean
and throwing them out, okay?
The flight patterns, there's people tracking them on
this app.
The flight's going out.
With the deportees, watching them go out to
open ocean and circle back.
This is insane.
And if it's true, then it could change
everything.
I knew there was something about these deportations
that just didn't sit right with me.
And then I found this story about a
man in Colorado.
His name is Alvin.
And it looks like he's been trying to
get this story out for the past two
weeks now.
Long story short, Alvin expresses his worry that
his brother that was taken by ICE and
in quotations, deported, is no longer alive.
Because Alvin is friends with people that work
for private contractors, okay?
One of which seems to have a pretty
high up rank in the military.
Alvin stated that his friend claimed that they
were being paid to drop off people in
the middle of the ocean.
We all know they've been loading immigrants onto
planes and deporting them.
But what I just learned is they've been
shackling their hands and feet and putting them
onto these military cargo planes that have the
capability to open that back door mid-flight.
Five bodies shackled at the hands and feet
washed up near Mallorca, Spain.
Recently, there's been a drastic increase in flight
of these planes.
And their flight path goes just into international
waters.
Yeah, this is interesting.
So this is what happens.
The same as with this weather in Texas.
People have the data.
So we have planes flying because we got
flight aware or flight radar, whatever you're using.
You have tons of different radar programs.
And people have their little setup.
And then they just stand in front of
the blue screen or don't even need that
anymore.
Just chroma keys you badly in front of
it.
And then you just point towards the data.
Here's the data.
Here's proof.
It's proof.
It used to be fun to be a
conspiracy theorist.
It sucks now.
Well, that's an interesting take.
That's why I'm a conspiracy therapist.
I've changed my vocation.
So they, of course, there was a wash
up on shore, I guess it was in
Spain.
Now, of course, one person said it was
Italy.
And it was obviously it was the local
some sort of bandits, you know, trying to
smuggle people in boats because you can't.
For one thing, the logic of this is
the following.
They're flying a cargo plane out 100 miles
into the toward the ocean, 100 miles out
to sea, dumping the bodies shackled alive into
the water and then flying back at 100
miles.
Now the bodies shackled have to travel across
the ocean.
What?
Two thousand fifteen hundred two thousand miles across
the Atlantic Ocean to get to Europe.
Yeah.
Uneaten by sharks and other critters and and
still shackled and intact and landing on Mallorca.
That makes nothing but sense of these people.
So the logical misstep is just obvious right
from the get go.
And it ended.
And then again, there's the idea that the
government would be doing this when they.
Yeah, I'm a Braille Garcia, whatever his name
is, a Braille Garcia guy.
How come they didn't do that with him?
So this is.
But it's also it's the egomania, the ego
of I got to be on TikTok.
I got to be broadcasting.
I got to be showing everybody.
Listen, guys, it's crazy.
If this is true, it seems like it's
true.
Look, here's the map.
Here's the data.
Here's the proof.
A guy that I know, his brother actually
saw this happen.
That's your favorite bit.
A guy I know whose brother's sister's daughter's
actually witnessed this witness.
Saw this.
They went through it.
Yeah.
Could I just play your NPR report just
for historical context?
So we have an actual report of what
happened in Kerrville when we go back years
from now and look at the archives.
Yeah, this is from yesterday when the body
count was 39, I think.
Yeah, it's about 50 and a half.
It's up to 59, I think, now, today,
this morning.
But yeah, you can play that.
In Central Texas, the death toll in the
flash flooding Friday has risen to at least
32, including 14 children.
Meanwhile, crews continue to search for more than
two dozen children missing from a summer camp.
NPR's Sergio Martinez Beltran has more.
I'm outside Camp Mystic in Kerrville, Texas, which
was severely hit by Friday's flash floods.
Parts of it were washed away.
And the area around this place is completely
destroyed.
It's pretty incredible.
Huge trees are down.
Cars are stuck on them.
There are also huge boulders in the middle
of the road.
All of these show how violent the waters
of the Guadalupe River were.
And the search and rescue efforts are ongoing.
Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News, Kerrville, Texas.
Yeah, the one thing which I think happens
everywhere, we are truly Americans.
And you just see everybody coming together.
Everyone's doing everything they can to help and
to do stuff.
And I always love that.
That is such an American trait.
Because I've been through all kinds of things
in Europe.
And in Europe, they're like, well, where's the
government?
Where's the government?
Here in America, we said the government did
it.
Wow, that's a good one.
Well, it's also a good switcheroo.
It's a sad state.
But, you know, it's like your political affiliation
doesn't matter.
Your religious affiliation.
I mean, all the churches got together.
Everyone's collecting clothing and money.
No, we saw that in the Loma Prieta
earthquake.
Oh, same thing.
Yeah.
Where the cars were smashed on the freeway
because the double-decker freeway collapsed on a
bunch of cars.
And people were stuck in there, you know,
stuck in their car.
And it was mostly white commuters going to
the city.
And the black community, which surrounds that area,
were up there saving everybody.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
So, yeah, well, that's ruined the Fourth of
July, I think, in Texas.
Oh, it's, yeah, it really did.
Really, really did.
Now, we had it.
Meanwhile, we had a fogless Fourth of July.
Oh, well, rare, rare moment.
Very rare.
I watched two fireworks displays.
The one on the Third of July in
Richmond was superior.
It's always as good.
And then there was the Fourth of July
to San Francisco, which was terrible, as usual.
They had parallel displays that had no finale
worth of crap.
It was just a junk fireworks display.
It was disappointing.
Of course, we had that explosion of the
fireworks factory.
But I don't think that affected these two
displays.
These guys already had their stuff in place.
And, of course, Richmond was going nuts.
There must have been more money spent there
than any place in the world.
I heard $2 billion in America in total
in fireworks.
And probably $2 billion in fire damage.
Oakland had a number of fires.
There was something like, I think there was
150 fire calls.
Yeah.
For people that were either injured or burnt
the house down.
Yeah.
So, but that's, you know, typical amateurs.
Yeah.
And they don't make, the municipal displays aren't
that good.
Well, that's the problem.
People are doing it themselves.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Now, I do have a couple of Fourth
of July clips, kind of.
Yeah, okay.
We have TikTok.
If you, no, you don't have to play
the jingle.
No, I won't.
But we have a TikTok typical dipshit Fourth
of July scolder girl.
If you support Donald Trump, I better not
see you wearing red, white, and blue, flying
a flag.
By the way, so I'll just say, I
saw you post this on X and I
responded to you.
You said, why does this happen?
Why do people do this with the big,
crazy googly eyes?
She's got nut ball eyes.
And the reverse implosion hands.
Yes, that's something I started noticing, the reverse
implosion hands.
Now, what that is, people can watch this.
You know what it is because you saw
it.
You hold your hand out in a palm
forward, your fingers outstretched.
And when you make points, you draw the
hand into a point.
So you're constantly doing this kind of reverse
explosion thing that you would do with your
hand if you put your fingers together and
then made an explosion motion with your hand.
It's just the opposite.
And they're constantly doing this.
It's like, it's just, I find it extremely
annoying.
I think it's a cultural, it's actually cultural
appropriation.
I think it's a black girl kind of
thing.
Could be.
Yeah.
I believe that could be.
Yeah.
But it's like sister necking.
You see a lot of white chicks do
that.
Yes.
And so I saw you post this.
And like, the reason why this happens is
because people like you, John C.
DuBois, keep propagating it by posting it.
That's, you're the problem.
If you support Donald Trump.
I feel somewhat responsible.
As you should.
Yes.
This brings, before I get back to this,
brings me to some thoughts about shooting the
messenger.
I had, I had this clip of a
guy giving a lecture on Iran, which I'd
posted some time ago.
And I sent it to two people.
One, a famous Hollywood executive.
And another one, a famous, a famous Intel
high end military guy.
Who I know personally, both of them.
You know who they are.
Yeah, of course.
And I just don't want to mention their
names.
Because they both, because their responses were both
funny.
But both got, both people, one of them,
the producers of this, I said, I know
a bullshitter when I see one.
I'm a bullshitter.
A bullshitter takes, these guys are bullshitter.
And that was it.
Nothing about the content, which I thought was
interesting.
The other, my other buddy says, he calls
the guy out as, he just, he was
really rude about it.
But again, nothing about the content.
And then I realized that both of them
shot the messenger.
Because the messenger's no good.
And oftentimes, this is the key.
We always say, oh, don't shoot the messenger.
I'm just the messenger.
No, you have to shoot the messenger.
I've decided that's my new philosophy.
I'm with you.
I'm all about it.
MSNBC is the messenger.
It should be shot.
You must shoot the messenger.
I said the same for Fox.
By the way, a constitutional lawyer, Rob, says
the motion is called bird hands.
Bird hands?
Yeah.
I mean, he's a white lawyer in Texas.
I don't know what he knows, but.
Well, I'll call it bird hands.
Sounds reasonable.
But these women do that when they're talking.
And they're constantly doing it.
I find it extremely.
All this woman was missing was a nose
ring.
Did she say mm-kay?
Did she say that?
I can't remember.
She said mm-kay?
I don't think she said mm-kay.
All right, well, let's listen to it.
If you support Donald Trump, I better not
see you wearing red, white, and blue, flying
a flag, eating apple pie, or even taking
the day off work on the 4th of
July.
You can wear orange and eat Big Macs
on Donald Trump's birthday.
But the 4th of July, Independence Day?
No, you cannot celebrate Independence Day while simultaneously
supporting a man that is actively trying to
dismantle our democracy and undermining the Constitution at
every turn.
Because you do not love this country.
You do not value this country.
You love Donald Trump for some unknown reason.
You've decided to put him above our country
and the principles upon which it was founded.
So save your bullshit.
You're not a patriot.
You're actively anti-American.
I don't wanna see you lighting fireworks, eating
hot dogs, anything.
That is not for you anymore, because you,
my friend, are not a patriot.
You are not pro-America.
You are pro-Donald Trump.
And those two things are in direct contradiction.
Those of us who actually give a shit
about our country, we will celebrate while protesting
the man that's trying to destroy it.
The rest of you, sit your asses at
home if you can't go into work and
try to do some personal work, because Lord
knows that there is a lot of it
that needs to be done.
You know, I've been thinking about this.
You know, there's a thing in our church,
and I'm sure it's very similar in other
churches, and maybe it's a little bit of
a Baptist thing.
You know, we have a non-denominational church.
But if the pastor, or we had a
guest speaker today— By the way, I would,
if I've seen your church's stuff, I would
push it toward Baptist.
Well, our pastor was raised Southern Baptist, but
we are purely non-denominational.
But when, especially if there's a guest speaker,
and he's doing something, he's on a roll,
you know, like a rant, a roll, or
as some would say, I'm preaching now, then
you'll hear the congregation say, good word, good
word.
That's what this is about.
Because the comments are, good word, girlfriend, you
go, good word, yeah, good, yeah, very good.
You said it, you told them, you showed
them.
You showed them.
It's a human thing.
It's a human thing.
And so she's up in her pulpit, the
pulpit of TikTok, and the comments are the
church.
That's exactly right.
And they're like, yeah, good word, girl, good
word.
You go, girl, fantastic.
You tell them, you get that orange, you
get that orange, man, that's right.
You tell them all those crazy followers.
You go, girl, bird hand, bird hand.
That's what it is.
That's what it is.
Well, I have another fed up clip from
another TikToker, and if you want to play
that.
Yeah, oh, okay.
Then we'll get back to 4th of July.
Well, that was about the 4th of July.
I think this is too.
Oh, both, okay.
Then I have the real 4th of July
clips coming up.
Okay.
From the BBC, no less.
No, from Brooks and Capehart.
Oh, oh, right.
I read that as BBC.
Oh, Brooks and Capehart.
Oh, great.
Okay, fed up TikTok girl.
I quit.
I'm done.
Okay, click.
All right, that's what.
Okay, that was a great clip.
Fantastic.
Yeah, thank you very much.
I'm done.
I'm done with America.
I'm done with taxes.
I'm not doing it anymore.
I'm going to cash out like Monopoly and
go and hide and move somewhere.
You're telling me that my tax dollars are
going to build an Alcatraz, Auschwitz.
Alligator, Auschwitz.
Alligator, Alcatraz, Auschwitz.
I don't even know what you want to
call it.
A detention center.
A concentration camp in Florida that our tax
money is paying for.
I'm done.
I can't do it anymore.
I can't feed this system that is doing
everything that I stand against.
I didn't vote for this.
I didn't vote for any of this.
I'm done playing the game.
I just, I want a tree and a
farm and land and somewhere else.
I can't keep feeding into this system.
Am I the only one?
Because it's been what?
Today's the second.
It's been seven months that this man's been
in office and I'm exhausted and I can't
do it anymore.
I'm cashing out Monopoly.
Am I the only?
Come with me.
Let's go.
We're moving.
Okay.
I suggest Europe enjoy that trip or maybe
even the UK.
You might be able to get a tree
there.
Um, I like Alligator Auschwitz.
That's kind of a good one.
That was done.
That was created by somebody on MSNBC.
Oh, okay.
So she's not her creation.
I can assure you.
Okay.
Why isn't it called Alligatraz?
Well, you know, I think, uh, for some
reason, they like the alliteration of Alligator Alcatraz
and this has got a nice sound to
it.
But there's this thing about, and it's, it's
ultimately, it's all very anti-American.
One of our family members, Tina was talking
to her.
And, uh, and I warned her.
I said, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Um, and you know, cause we may be,
we may take a trip to Israel next
year to go see the Holy Land.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Been there.
Been there, done that.
Well, I haven't.
And I have friends in Tel Aviv and
you know, I want to, I want to
see some stuff.
I'll give you a rundown of some of
it.
The women in Tel Aviv is, are unbelievably
beautiful.
Okay.
All right.
Tel Aviv, we're going to do an extra
day in Tel Aviv.
John C.
Dvorak commands it.
And hummus in the little village of Jaffa.
Best ever, best ever.
So what comes back is, do you really
feel comfortable supporting the economy of Israel?
And I thought about it.
That's it.
You're going to go there.
And you and Tina, by taking a trip
to Israel, are going to be, if it
wasn't for you two, they'd collapse.
And I'm thinking, how can you say this
while you're on your iPhone, compiled of minerals
scraped by little black children in the DRC
with their bare hands and assembled in China
who killed tens of thousands of Uyghurs and
suppressed their people with social credit scores?
It's like...
Did you say that to that person?
No, I wasn't on the phone.
After Tina hung up, I said, this is
the line.
And it's just like, you know, it's like,
and what happened to Ukraine?
We don't care about Ukraine anymore.
It's screwed Ukraine.
It's only a million people.
Who cares how many people died there?
It doesn't matter.
It's an empathy issue that we have.
It's an empathy issue.
This is leading beautifully into the Brooks and
Capehart show.
Go for it.
Let's go for it.
Let's go.
Okay, well, here we have them moaning and
groaning about, you know, agreeing about one thing
or another, but it's all bad.
Trump's bad.
And the 4th of July, everything's bad.
And they're particularly concerned about the Alcatraz and
the rest of it.
But they get into this little, this very
interesting discussion where Brooks decides that the way
to get to beat the Republicans, even though
he's supposed to represent the Republicans, but he
said the Democrats can beat the Republicans by
taking all this information and shaming them because
it's a known fact that the Republicans have
betrayed their voters.
Now, I don't know where this comes from,
but this comes from right-wing media.
It should be...
Oh, well, no, this, no.
By left-wing, I'm sorry, left-wing media.
No, I disagree.
This is Tucker.
This is Candace.
This is the America First movement.
Okay, well, it's coming from somewhere.
But the idea is that the Republicans have
betrayed.
Now, I don't see it personally.
I don't see that they've done anything to
betray the voters and, you know, go, you
know, they're doing what they promised and it's
just the way they do it.
But so I just found this to be
very screwy.
This is clip one.
I think the one thing I would say
if I were a Democrat is Donald Trump
won election on the back of the working
class.
He has betrayed you.
You have been betrayed by this guy.
Americans are in a mood where many of
them feel betrayed.
And so Republicans have won because they tell
a betrayal story.
The elites are betraying you.
But Democrats now have a betrayal story to
tell.
This is exactly...
I'll give him this.
He is smart.
He is latching on to an undercurrent, a
movement.
And the betrayal came with the bombing of
Iran because that meant that the unit party
is still in charge.
The military industrial complex is still in charge.
Trump is no better or worse than George
W.
Bush.
That's the...
You need to watch Tucker with Scott Horton
because literally at the end...
May I have to clip that?
Scott Horton is saying...
And Tucker, he's talking to him.
Oh yeah, I could not agree more.
I could not agree more.
Yeah, I think you're right.
We should just withdraw from everywhere.
And why can't we just be a peaceful
country and just not have any military and
everybody can just live in their fine, you
know, nice little world and it'll be multipolar
and it'll be great.
And I couldn't agree with you more.
Yeah, yeah.
Go to antiwar.com.
That's right.
Like, yes, utopia.
I'd love it.
Not even in the slightest realistic.
No, not at all.
Because the Chinese are different.
But back to Brooks and Capehart.
Wherever this comes from, somebody lecturing somebody about
the elites and the elites are taking over.
The elites.
He's the elites.
This guy.
You think?
Well, listen to clip two.
How does this square with what President Trump
is doing on immigration and mass deportations?
It's the opposite.
We've been a country of immigrants since we
were before our country.
And Americans still love pluralism and diversity.
I was celebrating Independence Day and the birth
of our country yesterday in Milan.
On my way to Doha, I stopped in
Milan to celebrate the birth of our country.
I'm surprised you didn't say Milano.
Milano.
I was in Milan during the flight because
I was, you know, the elites have been
ruining the U.S., but Milan is where
I would go.
Hold on a second.
That's not even borderline.
That is Clip of the Day, man.
That was Clip of the Day.
That's a good one.
That's the height of it.
So he went to.
Now, he also says that America is a
land of immigrants.
Yeah, legal immigrants.
Let's not always use the word legal, but
he doesn't do that.
And, you know, diversity bullcrap.
So the guy is full of it.
But to make the Milan thing even worse,
he adds a little more to it.
And now you're going to really roll your
eyes.
Independence Day and the birth of our country.
Yesterday in Milan, but at a Bruce Springsteen
concert.
Wow, I love the level.
At a Bruce Springsteen concert.
Yesterday in Milan, but at a Bruce Springsteen
concert.
And he talked about exactly that, about the
diversity of the country, the land he loves.
He was so patriotic.
And I felt very moved and tears coming
to my eyes.
But so did the Italians.
I mean, talk about out there.
At a four hundred dollar ticket.
Laughing about, oh, yes, I was.
Yeah, I like to go out of the
gate.
And Capehart goes on with some story about
going to Holland for something.
These guys are just the worst.
What did he go to Holland for?
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't contemporary.
So it was, you know, he talked about
a previous trip to Holland where he gave
a speech.
I mean, the whole thing is sickening to
listen to these guys.
This is PBS.
And you have it in the voices of
the elite.
Yeah, hold on a second.
Where is it?
Elitist Voices of America.
This is NPR or PBS.
Spot on.
Just to bring that home.
I do have the PBS because I play
the NPR self-promotion because they're worried about
their money.
Here I have the PBS house promotion, just
that here's their take on the same thing.
They also access computer systems, steal data.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
My mistake.
There was the one right under it.
Here we go.
There's nothing more American than PBS.
It's a safe place where kids learn and
grow and where grownups are informed, entertained and
inspired.
PBS is one of America's greatest resources for
50 years strong and PBS needs your help
to keep going for another 50.
We will have done a great service for
our future.
Visit Protect My Public Media to learn more
because there's nothing more American than PBS.
You know, nothing more elitist.
Now, if you listen to this thing at
the very beginning, you say kids and grownups,
who uses the word grownups except kids?
I mean, what kind of media?
Oh yeah.
Hey, what are the grownups doing?
It's not the adults.
You use the word adults, not grownups.
To be fair, if we had 1%
of our money taken away by the government
for some, through some strange taxation on podcasters,
whatever it is, we'd be doing this too.
Value for value.
We support us, support the show, please.
And I'd have all kinds of jets flying
and Star Spangled Banner and fireworks going on.
America, baby.
Freedom of speech.
Yeah, you bet.
So I got to give them that.
I'm not going to argue against the fact
that, yes, we're the defensive, but the use
of the word grownups for adult has really
got my goat there for some reason.
I don't know why that galls me.
It's like, what are you talking to us
like this for?
Is this the same station that brings you
Antique Roadshow?
Yeah, it is, as a matter of fact.
Just checking, just checking.
Yeah, well, Antiques Roadshow, you learn a lot.
I like the ones where they do their
repeats and they'll show, bloop, bloop, in today's
dollars.
Those are great, and they show the up
-to-date numbers.
Which shows you inflation of the money supply,
basically.
Or that some things just don't get any
more valuable.
Yeah, that's true.
So along these lines, and, you know, we've
kind of been watching this and have discussed
it a little bit, but now, so Elon
Musk announces America Party.
I have the BBC clip of the announcement.
I think they did the best job.
Okay, let me see.
Robert Musk.
Musk.
Okay, and then I have a clip I
want to play.
The tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced the
formation of a new political party in the
United States.
Writing on X, he said the America Party
would challenge what he called a one-party
system that wasted public money and undermined democracy.
Exactly.
So I have the Yamiche version of this.
This is Yamiche on NBC.
And, hey, by the way, good news, I
understand.
Yamiche, who's been carted off of PBS, I
think the Lopez girl has been kicked out.
Oh, kicked her out?
No, I think they either kicked her out
or she's, I don't think they kicked her
out because I think they liked her.
I think she's taking a gig with the
spinoff of MSNBC or something like that.
Oh, Spinco.
Spinco, right, Spinco.
Okay, so we've been trying to figure this
out.
You know, is this a Trump gambit with
Elon?
Is this the foil?
And is this wrestling?
And I think after this report, and you'll
hear, you know, the things that Elon has
been posting or tweeting, to me, this America
Party is entirely designed around the midterms to
get as many Democrats to move away from
the Democrat Party, to move to something else,
mainly because of the woke-ism of the
left, of the Democrat Party.
There's a lot of Americans who are sick
of that.
Without hearing the clip, I'm already agreeing with
your analysis.
Listen to the words.
Tonight, on the heels of President Trump signing
his massive domestic policy bill into law, his
former close ally, Elon Musk, announcing the formation
of a new political party.
Musk, the world's richest person, taking to his
social media site, asked to say, we live
in a one-party system, not a democracy
today.
Okay, right there.
Why would Musk say not a democracy?
This is Democrat talking points.
Republicans always fight against this word.
We say, no, we live in a republic.
You don't say our democracy unless you are
targeting it at Democrats.
New political party.
Musk, the world's richest person, taking to his
social media site, asked to say, we live
in a one-party system, not a democracy.
Today, the America Party is formed to give
you back your freedom.
Musk, who was President Trump's top campaign donor,
has been feuding with the president over the
so-called one big beautiful bill, which the
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says will add more
than $3 trillion to the national debt over
the next 10 years.
Musk has referred to the legislation as a
debt slavery bill.
Right there.
Whenever you bring in slavery, it's never to
speak to Republicans, ever, ever, ever, ever.
Either he has the worst advisors, is the
dumbest guy in the world, which I don't
think he is, or this is directed towards
Democrats.
Democracy, slavery, this is all code.
Over the next 10 years, Musk has referred
to the legislation as a debt slavery bill
and had been teasing a new political party
for days.
The Tesla CEO did not respond to questions
from NBC News seeking clarity about today's announcement.
The stock market's at an all-time high.
For his part, President Trump has been celebrating
the bill.
The legislation extends the tax cuts from his
first term, reduces taxes on tips and overtime
pay, and provides funds for his immigration priorities.
Then it goes on and on about Trump.
To me, the easiest prey in the two
-party system, uniparty, call it whatever you want,
is the, and basically Trump at this moment,
except for abortion and a couple other things,
is like a very old-school Democrat.
You would know.
You were one.
Yeah, of course.
And so, you know, no Republican- Yes.
No Republican candidate is going to switch from
the Republican Party to, I'm not going to
say I know that for sure, but it
seems highly unlikely.
Highly unlikely.
I mean, the Republican, both parties, have so
much money and power and clout, which, of
course, I'm not for.
I love the idea of a third party,
but this, to me, just smells of a
setup to dilute the Democrat Party more.
No one, no Republican's going to go, oh
yeah, screw you, Trump.
I'm going to sit over here.
You know what's going to happen.
That's not going to help you win any
seats.
And, you know, it's like, to me, it
just feels, it may not even come to
fruition.
And, you know, all Trump has said, President
Trump has said about Elon is, well, you
know, his EV credits, and that's a losing
business.
And Elon Musk knows it.
His future is in XAI, which owns X.
And there's a lot of good artificial intelligence
stuff in the big, beautiful bill.
A lot of protectionism.
There's tons of payment options that he'll be
able to take advantage of.
And, of course, SpaceX.
I didn't hear President Trump say, well, we're
going to take away his SpaceX contracts.
No, no, I don't think so.
And so it just feels to me like
this is still some kind of a massive
setup.
Your views, Mr. Dvorak.
Oh, crap.
I'm sorry.
Of course.
Sorry about that.
Your views, Mr. Dvorak.
You're back.
Yes.
Well, I wasn't saying anything.
Oh, you're supposed to say, man, you missed
my great rant.
I could have, because you have done that
in the past.
Yes.
But just to stay honest, no.
I just don't think this is going to,
I don't, it may not work.
It's a nice, I think it's a nice
try.
It's a good idea.
And there's going to be a lot of,
you know, wavering Democrats that can be, you
know, I mean, we've seen every time a
third party comes along, generally speaking with Ralph
Nader, with Perot, it tends to hurt the
Democrats more than the Republicans.
I think it'll get a lot of libertarians,
a lot of Scott Hortons.
And Dave Smiths.
I think they'll all move over there.
They probably voted for, they didn't, maybe didn't
vote or who knows what they voted.
But I think that libertarians have been just
floating around for so long.
Libertarians are hopeless.
Please don't, don't.
I'm going to say it.
I used to, I call myself a libertarian
for, I went through the phases of it
being, you know, Democrat forever.
And then I was a Republican from Reagan
for a while.
And then, and then I got, I think
Bush made me nauseous and younger because he
changed his personality.
He was a funny guy when he's a
governor.
And then he became a super douche.
Then he became douchey and kind of dim
-witted.
Something, they were just on, they drugged him
or something.
And then I became a, then I called
myself, because nobody becomes a libertarian.
They call themselves libertarian.
And then when you start looking at libertarians
that, you know, that actually take it very
seriously, like the guy who ran, for whose
name I forgot already, the Congress guy, he
was a stoner.
It was just, it's really about pot.
And you know, oh yeah, do your, pot,
do your own thing.
What was his name, Gary?
Yeah, Gary something.
Pot, do your own thing.
No war, man.
Peace, baby.
Government should be smaller.
Yeah, okay.
And it's just bull crap.
And it's, and it turns out to be
a mishmash of ideas.
They all disagree with each other.
They can't get it together.
They're stoned.
And so it's like a useless party.
So then I became an independent.
And then I found out that that's actually
a kind of a party in California.
So then non-affiliated.
And that's where I remain.
Gary Johnson.
Gary Johnson, who is stoned.
Well, so was Bill de Blasio.
True.
Speaking of, let's take a quick little trip
to New York with the Mondani derangement system
syndrome, or as some have asked me to
call it, Mondani mania, which I think is
also a good one.
You can turn two middle letters to reverse
them.
It's madman.
Yeah, there you go.
In the days since it became clear that
Zora Mondani would be the Democratic nominee for
mayor in New York City, the response from
Republicans has been about as unhinged as you
might expect.
Donald Trump is practically frothing at the mouth,
threatening to arrest Mondani, who of course has
not broken any laws.
There's a right that they're going to denaturalize
him and deport him.
At least one Republican congressman has called for
the 33-year-old state assemblyman, a naturalized
US citizen, to be deported.
And it hasn't just been that.
Even some established Democrats have refused to back
their party's choice or said really vile things
about him, despite the overwhelming enthusiasm for his
candidacy here in New York.
There's one thing Mondani has demonstrated over the
course of this campaign so far.
He's pretty good at just kind of sticking
to his principles and message discipline.
He doesn't bow down the face of pressure,
but then he keeps pivoting back to the
center of what he campaigned on, which is
affordability.
So here's how it went.
Hey, Mayor Adams.
It's Donald.
I got an idea.
Try this.
Mayor Adams is now questioning his opponent, Zoran
Mondani's 2009 application to Columbia University.
The mayor's camp accuses the Democrat of wrongly
identifying himself as African-American to try to
gain acceptance to the Ivy League school.
A hacker got hold of the application and
gave it to the New York Times.
It shows that Mondani checked off the boxes
for African-American and Asian.
I just love the blanket.
A hacker.
A hacker.
Who did it?
A hacker.
Obviously, he's a hacker.
Today, Adams called that dishonest and possibly fraudulent.
We will never be a socialist country or
socialist city.
This is a city where we will provide
for each other and what we stand for.
Candidate Andrew Cuomo's campaign is also blasting Mondani,
saying if true, it could be fraud and
just the tip of the iceberg.
Mondani, who is a Muslim immigrant of South
Asian descent, tells the Times he checked both
boxes because he was born in Uganda and
the application would not allow for the complexities
of his background.
Oh, yes.
If you're born in Africa.
You're an African.
You're an African.
It's not very complex.
I don't think.
They made a big fuss about this on
Fox, too, but they ended up backing off
a little bit.
Oh, really?
I don't know if I have a clip
of it or not, but we don't.
Lame.
Lame.
Yeah, it's like they tried to make hay
with it.
It's like, but it's the same.
You know what this is?
This says I parallel this, of course, with
Trump.
Yeah, it's the same.
It's the same people who are helping him.
It's the same people.
This is the same.
This is the same scandal, quote unquote, scandal
as Trump University and Trump stakes.
Yes.
And Trump.
I never got my degree from Trump University.
I got ripped off.
Unlike a Ph.D. in media deconstruction from
your No Agenda show, a true value.
It is a true value and it's something
you can be proud of.
And it looks good on the wall.
Yes.
By the way, my daughter graduates on Tuesday.
She got her diploma from No Agenda?
No, she got it.
She got a real honest to God diploma
in she's a social worker.
I told you that.
I told you she's a social worker.
Christina?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
She graduated from what school?
Yeah, she she went back to school.
No, but what school?
Oh, it's a it's an MBO.
It's it's like the the lower of the
name of the school that your daughter graduated
from.
This is how much you care.
Different system.
OK, it's not OK, OK, OK.
You caught me.
OK, all right.
Hold up.
I'm doing bird.
I'm doing bird hands.
OK.
Yeah, she works in a in a home
for middle aged men.
I think it's about 18 of middle aged
men.
Always thinking of dad.
Yes.
Well, it gets better.
Middle aged men who have light mental or
drug abuse issues.
Oh, there you go.
And she loves it.
She says, Dad, this is the best.
It's just like helping my friends.
Only I get paid for it now.
And and that's cute.
Yes, she took me to work one day
when I did.
I talk about this on the show.
No, you did not.
She took me to take dad to work
day.
She was going to do.
I want to be careful.
You get hit on the back of the
head.
Next thing you know, you're in there.
No one guy said, oh, dad, you got
to meet.
I forget what his name is.
You got Nick.
I think my you got to meet Nick.
You'll love Nick.
Nick, because it'd be hey, hey, hey.
I really love the No Agenda show.
Yeah, yeah.
How about.
Oh, yeah, I know about 9-11.
Oh, yeah, I know about all the conspiracy.
It was awesome.
Yeah, no, so she decided to get a
get a, you know, health care in Europe
is the gig.
That's the gig right there.
That's definitely support.
Mainly because no one wants to do the
job anymore.
So she's got the pick and she can
do whatever she wants.
And she still does her Instagram influencer gigs
on the side.
It's amazing.
Finally, finally, my kids got a career.
Anyway, I don't even know how I came
up with that.
I don't either.
Oh, there's a university.
There you go.
Yeah.
But, you know, when I see her, I'll
also give her a Ph.D. in media
deconstruction.
She deserves it.
No.
Okay.
You have to.
She has to put up.
Oh, no, she'll pony up.
Okay, well, yeah, yeah.
She'll pony up.
We don't.
This is not a complimentary thing.
There's no honorary degrees at No Agenda.
Forget about it.
Can't just do some phony baloney commencement speech
and expect to get a sash and a
piece of paper.
You got to support us.
All right.
Black Sabbath last.
Come on, man.
Let's play that.
Oh, yeah, this is a voice.
Finally, I have it.
There's only one good story.
I'll play this clip is Black Sabbath on
finishing up.
Yes, they did their final concert.
A farewell gig for the legendary British heavy
metal band.
Black Sabbath has been taking place in their
home city of Birmingham.
Frontman Ozzy Osbourne performed solo material on a
black throne decorated with skulls before the band's
original lineup joined him to headline what will
be their final show.
Well, not the entire original lineup.
Not dead.
Not the dead guys.
My favorite Ozzy Osbourne story, and I don't
remember if it was he that told the
story or if it was one of the
crew guys, but he had a in one
of his concerts, he decided to have a
catapult kind of behind.
Yeah, the catapult kind of behind the band,
and it was held down by these, I
guess, rubber bands, hold downs, and it's going
to be, I guess, a rubber band is
going to pull the thing for it.
And the catapult in the had a pocket
that was filled with chicken guts.
And the idea was that they were going
to release at some point in the song,
they were going to release, they're going to
cut it loose, and the catapult is going
to fly forward and throw chicken guts all
over the audience.
Nice.
But what happened was Ozzy ended up, they
had a guitar solo or something that ran
on way too long, and the rubber bands
got kind of stretched and loose.
They didn't have enough oomph to make the
thing fly.
So according to the story, the catapult flies
up and kind of just drops all the
chicken guts on Ozzy.
That's a good one.
It seems like a believable story.
Maybe I've told it before.
Maybe I should tell my Ozzy story since
people are always complaining.
I don't talk about my old MTV stories.
Nobody's complaining.
No, I got an email the other day
saying, You need to tell some stories here.
You know, your stories are the only thing.
We listed a show waiting for some stories
from you.
Tina's great.
Hey, Adam, tell the Prince story.
Yeah, yeah.
Tell the Madonna story.
Yeah, yeah.
Tell the Ozzy story.
So I'll tell the Ozzy story.
People have heard it, but I'll tell it
again.
Moscow Music Peace Festival.
You know, the big CIA op.
We all went to Moscow and to get
the kids to love the Scorpions.
Just before the wall came down.
I'll just cut straight to the chase because
I didn't know that at the time, but
it makes a lot of sense now.
So we leave from Newark Airport and it's
a crappy, I think it was a Stretch
727.
You remember those?
Was it 727 or 737, the Stretch?
No, no, it was the 27.
727 Stretch, which looks like they could snap
in half at any moment.
They were funny looking.
Yeah, and so that's what they chartered, Doc
McGee.
Oh, yeah, I should mention the whole reason
for the concert is because Doc McGee, who
managed Bon Jovi and Motley Crue at the
time, his Learjet had gotten busted in Florida
bringing like some unbelievable amount of marijuana into
the country.
And so they got to him and they
said, hey, instead of what's that in your
mouth in this picture?
They said, look, why don't you organize a
concert for us in Moscow and bring all
your bands over there and then we'll sign
up the children.
By the way, the kids in Moscow, this
is 88, I think, 88, 89, had no
idea who Bon Jovi or Motley Crue were.
They had no idea who Skid Row was.
They didn't care.
You know who they knew?
Ozzy.
They knew Ozzy Osbourne and they had all
these bootleg cassettes that came in from Pakistan
and they knew Ozzy.
So we're on the plane.
It's a crappy plane.
There's, you know, no one's in first class.
So everyone's annoyed and everyone's on edge.
Of course, this was supposed to be a
part.
Hold on.
The part of the story that I didn't
know before.
I don't think you told that part before.
Would this stemmed from a from the guy,
a guy getting busted and the CIA coming
along because they wanted to do this.
This they need to do something in Moscow.
They need their front.
Yeah.
No, but the whole thing makes sense to
me.
It's a great idea.
The whole thing was to get the.
Remember, the Scorpions were there.
The Scorpions were a German band and they
had the wind of change, which is the
only hit they ever had that they didn't
write themselves.
Coincidence.
And, you know, that was the wind of
change.
And that was the big anthem when the
wall came down.
Not, you know, not but a year, year
and a half later.
So I'm just all kinds of things.
There's an op involved.
There's a definite op involved.
But I'm the only person from MTV who
goes along like this is dynamite.
So how come you are the only one?
Because wouldn't anybody wouldn't somebody else want to
go?
I think they only offered it to one
person.
And I did headbangers balls.
So I was appropriate.
You know, I was the guy and I
had the hair and everything.
And I don't know.
I'm happy that they told me to go.
I'm sure the I'm sure.
You know what?
I'm sure that downtown Julie Brown was not
having it.
She's like, no, I'm not going to go
to Moscow, Russia.
Of course, this was, you know, still Iron
Curtain stuff.
So anyway, we're on the plane and this
whole concert, this whole affair is billed as
a anti-drugs, anti-alcohol concert.
That was the front.
Like we're doing this because we're going to
show we can have good, clean fun to
the Russian kids.
And we're on the plane.
Everybody's hammered.
They're drunk as skunks, all of them.
And Ozzy was there.
Geezer Butler was there.
Tommy, you know, I mean, there was a
lot of Black Sabbath was there.
Whatever was still alive were barely alive.
And Sharon, who at the time, this is
way before the Osbournes reality show.
This is way before Ozempic.
And Sharon was a big roly poly British
housewife.
Now, she was tipping the scales.
And she's like, Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy.
Very timid, didn't have the big mouth that
she has now.
And so at a certain point, Ozzy gets
up and he has to go to the
bathroom.
He's like, and so there's a laboratory.
That's he got his voice down.
There's a laboratory mid section of the plane
and it's occupied.
Because we're kind of in the second, the
back half of the plane.
And so Ozzy's standing there.
Sharon, Sharon.
And she's like, oh, Ozzy, just wait, Sharon.
And what does Ozzy do?
He pees his pants right there in the
aisle.
Probably the saddest thing I've ever seen in
rock and roll ever.
That is pretty pathetic.
And that's my Ozzy story.
That's uplifting.
What about your stories?
Well, it beats the floods of Texas.
Well, anything does that.
Anyway, yeah.
And then it was just to complete the
story.
It was Greg.
I'm trying to remember his name.
Greg was a production assistant at MTV and
he was out in Los Angeles.
And he had a crew and he had
done something for MTV.
They were doing some interview and he had
the crew for another two days or something
and he knew the Osbournes.
And so he said, you know, why don't
I just follow you guys around for a
day and then I'll cut it up and
we'll make it into some kind of show.
And that literally was how the reality show
of the Osbournes was created.
By a production assistant who just said, I
got some extra tape.
Let's just roll it.
And they cut it together and it was
so outrageous and hilarious that MTV picked it
up and turned it into the Osbournes show.
Well, that's an interesting story.
Yeah.
Shows you that anybody can make it if
you just keep trying.
I saw Greg's name on the credits of
like some big award show.
I mean, that kid went on, man.
He went on to do some stuff.
Obviously, he has some sort of talent.
So I'm going to play a couple of
clips with our kids.
We left him out.
He hasn't been.
He's been left on the cutting room floor.
Our buddy.
Oh, no.
I'm Scott.
Simon.
Finally, he's back.
All right.
So now he's talking about the big, beautiful
bill.
But before we play the four clips, they're
short.
I want to play it even shorter.
He introduces.
I've noticed NPR, they got that Ayesha girl.
Dog's eyes.
She talks funny.
And then we had that Mexican kid that
from Texas who gave us the report on
the of the curville thing.
And then there's this woman.
I don't not going to play her, but
I just want to play his introduction to
her.
This is Scott Simon introducing reporter.
Buffy Gorilla visits where it started and where
it's going.
Her name is Buffy Gorilla.
Yes, they have a person now at NPR
named Buffy Gorilla.
No, no, I'm telling you, that was not
a creation.
That is Buffy Gorilla.
You'll find her.
I'm telling you, that's a show title.
Buffy Gorilla is a show title.
It's a good name.
I mean, if you want a name, it's
almost it's not even a stripper's name.
Hey, here she is.
Buffy Gorilla.
No, no.
I don't know what kind of a stage
name it is.
It's great.
Let's play that again.
Hold on a second.
We'll do the combo.
Suffer and succotash.
I'm Scott Simon.
Reporter Buffy Gorilla visits where it started and
where it's going.
Buffy Gorilla.
I don't know.
So here we go.
Scott Simon on the BBB.
President Trump has called the deadly flooding in
central Texas shocking and says his administration is
working with Governor Abbott over federal aid.
He made those comments yesterday after he signed
his massive policy bill, the so-called Big
Beautiful Bill, at a July 4th White House
celebration.
No, I like the intonation.
Big Beautiful Bill.
That's that's the thing that made me stop
it there.
Yeah, is the use of the term so
-called.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
This is the reason NPR and PBS should
not be getting government money.
That is a propagandistic word in this sense.
If you look it up, it's actually available.
Cambridge and Merriam-Webster both have definitions of
it.
And it's.
It implies bullshit.
You think so?
It's also a good word for Scott Simon,
the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
So it's called the Big Beautiful Bill.
It's not so-called.
So this is a propagandistic term.
So we know, OK, right away, this is
going to be a very slanted report from
the new member of the Radio Hall of
Fame, Scott Simon.
Here's part two.
Promises made, promises kept, and we've kept them.
There's a triumph of democracy on the birthday
of democracy.
And I have to say that the people
are happy.
It's a package that will cut taxes, add
more funding for border security.
And also make cuts to major programs like
Medicaid.
And Pierre Whitehouse correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben joins us.
Danielle, thanks so much for being with us.
Yeah, good morning, Scott.
And please tell us about yesterday's.
Wait, did she say in the morning, Scott?
I heard it.
She said in the morning, Scott.
Listen, Danielle Kurtzleben joins us.
Danielle, thanks so much for being with us.
Yeah, good morning, Scott.
She's saying in the morning, Scott, I'm telling
you.
We've got a shill on the inside, John.
Danielle Kurtzleben joins us.
Danielle, thanks so much for being with us.
Yeah, good morning, Scott.
And please tell us about yesterday's ceremony.
Well, the event was outside the White House
at a picnic for military families, including those
who participated in Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran.
At that event, B-2s flew overhead.
Now, those are the planes that carried those
massive bombs targeting those underground nuclear facilities in
Iran.
Trump came out on a balcony with First
Lady Melania Trump and he thanked the military
members, but he quickly transitioned to celebrating his
new policy bill.
And then he came down from the balcony
to sign it, surrounded by Republican congressmembers.
A Fourth of July event, to be sure,
but also a celebration of the administration.
Oh, very much.
That was also the case, by the way,
in Iowa on Thursday night, too.
I was there.
It was in Des Moines.
And it was meant to be a celebration
for America.
But really, it looked like any Trump campaign
rally, which is to say it was deeply
partisan.
Oh, yeah.
OK, of course.
Of course it's partisan.
That's what you do.
That's what every president does.
By the way, that B-2 with the
two jets on either side, that looked badass.
That slow flyover was cool.
Oh, that flyover was amazing.
That looked really cool.
I agree.
It's a good looking plane.
Yeah.
The B-21, which is his, the new
plane is the B-21 is pretty nasty
looking, too.
Yeah.
In the air, when it's on the ground,
it looks flimsy.
No, it looks terrible.
It looks doofus with those little wheels out.
Rumbling along.
Oh, it's no good, then.
Yeah, it looks like a toy.
OK, part three.
And there, too, he said he had a
couple of weeks of winning that have just
passed.
After all, Congress passed that new major domestic
policy agenda, albeit narrowly.
And he had that major strike on Iran
and then a ceasefire that is holding at
the moment.
And then there are also numbers showing that
border crossings are way down.
And he celebrated that on his trip to
Florida this week to a new migrant detainment
camp, which the administration is calling Alligator Alcatraz.
The administration points to all of this and
says that amounts to a lot of winning.
Is there more to consider?
Well, absolutely.
For example, on Iran, it's still unclear how
much of Iran's nuclear capabilities were truly destroyed.
And it's unclear if or when they would
start rebuilding their program.
On that so-called big, beautiful bill that
could push nearly 12 million people off Medicaid,
according to the Congressional Budget Office or CBO,
which has also found that the bill would
benefit the wealthy most.
Oh, yes.
This is this is lies.
It's just lies.
Did they have not said it will push
people off?
Did it say that?
Did it say it'll push people off Medicaid?
No, it didn't.
They also didn't say, oh, it's only the
by the nonpartisan CBO who do make mistakes,
but they're nonpartisan.
I doubt they said, oh, it's just going
to benefit rich people.
I don't think that's in their report.
No, it's not.
But OK.
On that so-called big, beautiful bill that
could push nearly 12 million people off Medicaid,
according to the Congressional Budget Office or CBO,
which has also found that the bill would
benefit the wealthy most.
Democrats were very worried about that, as were
some Republicans, and some Republicans were also upset
about how much the bill would add to
the debt.
According to the CBO, it would add three
point three trillion.
That is a lot over 10 years.
And then there's the fact that it's not
that popular, according to multiple polls.
Now, Trump, for his part, simply dismisses that
polling.
Here he was talking yesterday.
We just have to look forward, fellas, look
forward and just say what it is, because
it's the most popular bill ever signed in
the history of our country.
I don't think so.
I don't know if it's the most popular
bill ever, although there is one thing I
can if I can just interrupt with something
from the big, the so-called big, beautiful
bill by the rains coming down again here.
This is from producer Andrew.
I missed this one.
The bill reduces the two hundred dollar National
Firearms Act tax to zero dollars for suppressors,
short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns and, quote,
any other weapons.
This reduction to zero tax allows lawsuits to
be filed, challenge the challenging the validity of
still having to register these items under the
NFA, possibly nullifying the National Firearms Act altogether,
or at least the portion governing these items.
That is interesting.
Yes, I heard about this, too.
An extreme rare win for Second Amendment.
Yeah, very rare.
It's unusual.
Yeah, I thought that was and I missed
that one.
So I appreciate producer Andrew for catching that.
Wow.
You hear that?
It's like it's coming to here.
Listen, I'll turn off the noise gate for
a second.
Listen to this.
That's the rain.
That's not loud enough.
Oh, well, it's the rain in the studio.
All right.
You have a tin roof, I think.
Yes, I do.
Yeah, it's a tin roof.
I got a cat on a hot tin
roof over here.
You have a tin roof.
It's made of tin.
They were saying, well, how about Adam?
How did he do in this?
I said, Adam's a big time.
He's at altitude.
Nothing happens to Adam's place.
It's not going to flood.
I can't believe Mimi didn't text me.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, she talked to me about it.
Don't bother him.
She thinks you're going to be dropping.
She thinks, well, she's worried, but she like,
like she cares.
She wants to make sure the show continues
so that she can pay bills.
That's basically it.
It's very interesting how people from all over
the world reached out.
Are you okay?
Of course, there's always the five people who
said, admit it, Curry.
You kicked over the rain stick, didn't you?
Yeah, that's really funny in the time of
tragedy.
Interestingly, about three different people never reached out,
didn't even know it.
And that's because they're not on social media.
They didn't even know what happened, which is
the way it used to be.
And it's the way it probably should be.
It's not your business if you're not around
the area, it seems to me.
Oh, thoughts and prayers.
Okay, fourth, fourth and final clip of the
so-called Big Beautiful Bill report.
Danielle, you mentioned the Florida detention center.
What challenges are there for President Trump and
immigration right now?
Well, as you know, immigration has been maybe
the central issue for Trump since day one.
And so people who vote for him vote
for tighter immigration policy.
But in practice, this administration's approach to immigration
enforcement, it has faced a lot of opposition
around the country, for example, in the form
of protests.
And also some businesses are just concerned he'll
deport their workers.
And it's uncertain whether or to what degree
that will happen.
Trump has, in fact, waffled, for example, on
whether he will ease up on raids on
places like farms, which rely on a lot
of immigrants.
And what about tariffs?
Well, he said he plans to make a
lot of tariff moves in this next week.
But first, let me remind you of where
we are.
In early April, Trump announced tariffs on most
countries.
Then he backed off and set those tariffs
at 10 percent temporarily.
He said that on July 9th, the rates
would jump back up.
But then before then, he would negotiate rates
country by country.
Well, July 9th is coming and he's negotiated
rates with two countries, the UK and Vietnam.
So now he says he'll send out letters
simply notifying countries of their tariff rates.
So soon, we're going to find out how
much American businesses and likely consumers will be
paying for imports.
Oh, that'll be fun Tuesday on DH Unplugged.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
It depends on where the market goes up
or down.
Well, the market doesn't like tariffs.
I thought the market doesn't like the market
doesn't like uncertainty in general.
The market is booming, baby.
It's booming.
The market is booming.
But the market is is quasi, I'd say
quasi predictive.
Because it's seen as, oh, it's always looking
ahead.
And it's it's taken into account, already taken
into account.
So that's no, it's already taken.
No, it's priced in is what you're supposed
to be priced in.
It's priced.
And so if it's if the market goes
up when the announcement happens, it's been, oh,
it's already been priced and taken into account.
If the market goes down, same news, same
situation, nothing's changed.
Absolutely the same is because, oh, no, no,
they're worried sick.
I mean, it's so bogus.
I love every morning after about an hour
or so, I'll pick up my phone and
I'll look at CNBC.
Because then you can see what the what
the what the futures are for Nasdaq and
the Dow.
And if it's down, there's always a picture
of a guy with a sad face or
his head in his hands, you know, or
looking looking up at a screen, like really
terrified.
And if the market's going up, you know,
the happy guy, you know, it's it's so
it's so awesome just to look at the
MSN CNBC website in the morning is great.
It's always, always doing it.
So what before I finish that, those clips
are over.
But I do have one last anti-Trump,
anti-Trump Medicare.
Oh, yes, very good.
Or Medicaid report.
Many of the 1500 federally funded community health
clinics that provide free or reduced cost care
to more than three million people are at
risk of closing because of the Trump administration's
new tax and spending law.
It appears Yuki Noguchi has more.
Yuki.
About half of such centers, patients rely on
Medicaid, meaning the centers do too for revenue.
The new law's cutbacks to that program mean
many will no longer get payment and will
have to close or cut back on services,
according to Joe Dunn at the National Association
of Community Health Centers.
That, he says, will hit rural areas hard.
Health centers are largely the only primary care
network in the community.
And so if there's a closure or reduction
in services, then it's going to be felt
even more so than in maybe a suburban
or urban setting.
Now, how does that square with reality that
over 10 years, Medicaid spending will actually increase
by 25 percent, if not more, depending on
who gets into into Congress?
Is this a derivative lie?
Because, well, if people get kicked off.
That's a good term.
I like it.
Derivative lie.
If people get kicked off of Medicaid, yeah,
then the services will will cease to be
needed.
But that's unlikely to happen except for about
a million illegal immigrants.
That's that seems to be and people who
just don't want to work or I don't
know, I can't imagine how I saw.
I saw a horrible story.
I can't believe I thought I clipped that
it was.
Wait, let me see.
I'm sure I clipped that one.
Maybe it was on the last show.
Let me see.
It was like it ended with with some
kid.
Let me see Medicaid.
Oh, yeah.
No, that was actually the Amish clip.
Let me play this clip at the end
here.
That was the one with Elon's Democracy Party.
And I stopped it.
Listen to what they did at the end
here.
The legislation extends the tax cuts from his
first term, reduces taxes on tips and overtime
pay and provides funds for his immigration priorities.
It also makes some of the biggest cuts
in history to social safety net programs like
Medicaid and food assistance.
In Missouri, Kimberly Gallagher is worried about how
the bill's new work requirements could affect her
and her son's access to Medicaid.
Her son, Daniel, has a rare genetic disorder
and autism, and she is his primary caregiver.
Medicaid is in every facet of our life.
It's not just medical, it's financial, it's care.
And to lose any of those parts would
drastically change our lives.
It's unbelievable that they did this.
So they show a mom with a kid
who clearly has autism and he can't walk
right and he's severely autistic.
And like, oh, it's going to take away
his care.
Bull crap.
It specifically states, specifically in the bill, in
plain English, that even me, a three month
graduate of Salem, Salem College, West Virginia, can
read.
And it says, if you have a dependent
child, that you're not going to be affected
at all.
So why would they lie like this?
And why would Yamiche?
On NBC.
The pinnacle of socialistic reporting.
Yeah, well, because they they just want to
keep because it doesn't kick in until December
of 26, right around those midterms.
No, it's after the midterms.
Right after the midterms.
So they just want to.
I know we have tick tockers.
I don't have any clips.
Luckily for you, tick tockers are on.
They're saying, I've lost my EBT.
I've lost.
They've taken it away as though it all
happened like like yesterday.
No, I mean, these people are liars.
Yes.
By the way, Buffy Gorilla, I'll have, you
know, is a master of journalism candidate at
the University of Melbourne, Australia.
A master of journalism.
M.J. Master of Master's degree in journalism
was a.
Candidate.
Candidate.
Candidate, which doesn't mean Jack.
I'm a I am, too.
I'm a candidate for all kinds of degrees.
The three degrees I'm all over the place
with my candidacy.
So she's a can't she's not even.
OK, no.
Why would you put that in there?
It just doesn't make any sense.
I just had to put it in.
Let's talk about war for a second.
War.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again.
Well, it looks like the Israelis once again
are controlling America like, hey.
We're going to do a cease fire.
You tell us to do it.
The Gazans say they've had enough and they're
ready for the war to end.
Enough.
The war has been going on for long
enough now.
People are exhausted beyond imagination.
I can't take it any longer.
It's almost two years now in the situation
is very difficult, and it's becoming more and
more difficult.
Following days of deliberations and meetings with Palestinian
factions, Hamas says it's ready to begin talks
on a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal.
The news was met with joy and relief
in the Gaza Strip.
When Hamas gave its positive response, people felt
happy because we are really tired.
We are happy that Hamas responded positively, and
we hope that a truce will be announced
and the crossings eventually reopen so we can
receive flour.
People are dying for flour, and young people
are dying as they try to provide flour
for their children.
Those in the enclave say they live in
constant terror of aerial bombardment by Israeli missiles
and that there are no safe places for
them to take cover.
They also point to the lack of basic
necessities, including food.
Hamas is pressing for guarantees for a permanent
end to the war, a commitment Israel has
yet to make.
However, the Israeli prime minister will be visiting
Washington next week, where Donald Trump will likely
be pressing him to negotiate.
Two previous ceasefires brokered by Qatar, Egypt and
the U.S. have also seen a temporary
halt in fighting and prisoner-hostage exchanges, though
both deals ultimately collapsed.
And then we have this little ditty out
of Lebanon.
Under the leadership of the late Hassan Nasrallah,
the Lebanese political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah
grew into a regional military player with tens
of thousands of fighters, as well as rockets
and drones.
It is now much weaker after Israel decimated
its command, killed thousands of its fighters and
destroyed much of its weaponry.
Nasrallah's successor is Naim Kassem, who in April
said the group would not allow anyone to
disarm it.
It's reported now that Hezbollah is considering scaling
back its role as an armed movement without
disarming completely.
That emerges as the Lebanese government is preparing
its response to a U.S. proposal for
Hezbollah's disarmament.
The country's deputy prime minister, speaking to France
24, said his government is gradually extending its
authority as it works to establish a state
monopoly on weapons.
This cannot happen in a moment.
There will be some resistance.
We hope the resistance is political.
So this is the meaning we try to
give to those fiery statements that we hear
every now and then from Hezbollah leaders.
U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack will visit
Beirut on Monday.
This Saturday on social media, he appeared to
urge a decision from Lebanon's leaders on phased
disarmament of Hezbollah within months, saying Lebanon's hope
awakens.
The opportunity is now.
This is a historic moment to supersede the
strained confessionalism of the past and finally fulfill
Lebanon's true promise of the hope of one
country, one people, one army.
You know, I know it's not very Hortonian
of me, but sometimes when you just show
some power and cut off the funding at
the head of the snake, things start to
move.
Isn't it amazing?
And I'm pretty sure President Trump is now
about to start making moves to show Putin
that he's serious as well.
President Vladimir Zelensky spoke on Friday with U
.S. President Donald Trump in what the Ukrainian
leader said was, quote, a very important and
fruitful phone call that Iran has been taking
on social media platform X.
And they said the pair discussed Russian airstrikes
and broader frontline developments.
He also said they spoke about opportunities in
air defense and agreed they would, quote, work
together to strengthen the protection of our skies.
Not Zelensky then went on to thank the
U.S. president for his support.
The conversation comes a day after Trump and
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed Ukraine, Iran and
other issues in a call the Kremlin described
as frank and constructive.
But despite phone calls, the conflict still continues
on the ground.
Overnight and into Friday, Russia launched a massive
aerial attack against Ukraine, mainly targeting Kiev, while
subsequent attacks also caused a blackout at the
Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, said the country's energy
minister.
Also on Friday, a Russian telegram channel reported
that Ukraine had used a new type of
drone to attack a strategic plant in the
country's Rostov Blast region.
So new type of drone is what caught
my eye.
No sooner has the NATO 5%, really 3
.5% been agreed to, then we see
all kinds of deals.
We have a memoranda between Ukraine and the
U.S. company Swiftbeat, who will enable scaling
up production of interceptor drones.
Do you know the company Swiftbeat, John?
No.
Well, there's a nice picture here of the
executives of Swiftbeat sitting with President Zelensky and
there's Eric Schmidt, formerly of Google, moves in
right away, getting some of that sweet, sweet
military industrial complex cash.
And there's now a strategic cooperation that's been
announced between Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall, you know,
to create some patriots for them.
It didn't take but two weeks.
And the money is flowing.
And then, I've got to play this.
Lulu, your gal, Lulu Garcia Navarro, you know
who I'm talking about?
Lulu?
No.
Yeah, you do.
Maybe.
Yeah, Lulu Garcia Navarro.
She's the New York Times lady, and she's
always on MSNBC and on NPR.
Lulu Garcia.
She has the very hip, you know, the
new modern look for glasses.
Look her up.
The modern look for glasses for women is
the big, like, 19— The big, giant— Yeah,
like 1969, 1970s.
My mom had them.
You know, the giant glasses.
Navarro.
Yeah.
Yeah, they look like crap.
It's very hip.
All the hip girls are wearing them.
She's very hipsters.
Yeah.
And she even has, like, the 60s outfit
on.
She's got the 60s platform shoes.
She's going all in.
But, you know, she's a journalist.
So she did this huge interview with the
one and only Mark Rutte.
Mark Rutte.
Your buddy.
Yes.
And the title of this— So she also
did it in— She did the interview on
video.
And they had, you know, big microphones in
front of their faces, because I guess it's
a podcast.
And the title of the video is Rutte
Explains Why He's Such a Big Trump Fan.
So I got a couple clips, I think.
There's a good one.
Gee.
I thought it would be interesting.
Something that the No Agenda Show were flat
-footed on.
Secretary General, thank you so much for joining
the interview.
I really appreciate your time.
Really appreciate being here.
Thank you for the invitation.
Thank you for the invitation.
I'm going to start with a big but
basic question.
And I want it to be in the
form of an elevator pitch, if you will.
What?
Why should NATO matter to Americans now?
OK, stop.
I knew you'd catch that.
Well, there's that.
But I met her Wiki page.
She's, I would say, sketchy.
Sketchy?
She's been all over the place.
Jerusalem.
She's been bureau chief.
She's a Zionist.
She's a Zionist.
Baghdad, Jerusalem, Rio.
She was there during Arab Springs.
I educated Georgetown University.
She was one of six children refugees from
the 59 Cuban Revolution.
She earned a bachelor's degree in international relations.
Master's in journalism from City University in London.
She's been all over the world.
It looks like she's depends on where they
station her, quote, unquote, is the way I
see it.
So she is of that ilk.
Right off the get go, I think that
we only bring.
Yes, please.
I think that we should have that in
mind.
Yes.
As we listen to the election.
And we will go back and listen to
the beginning.
Secretary General, thank you so much for joining
the interview.
I really appreciate your time.
Really appreciate being here.
Thank you.
I'm going to start with a big but
basic question.
And I want it to be in the
form of an elevator pitch, if you will.
What is this elevator pitch you speak of?
We don't have this in the Holland.
We we walk the stairs, lady.
What should NATO matter to Americans now?
What do Americans get out of this treaty
today?
It should matter.
And if I was in the elevator, I
would say, if you want to defend the
U.S. If I was in the elevator,
I'd say, don't stand so close to me.
You stinky.
It should matter.
And if I was in the elevator, I
would say, if you want to defend the
U.S., you have to make sure that
three things are secure.
Here we go.
You need a secure Arctic because it is
opening up.
And the Chinese and the Russians are sailing
there.
You need a secure Atlantic because it is
your sea.
It is crucial.
And you need to secure Europe because Russia
is here.
And Russia is reconstituting itself at an incredible
pace.
And not to attack Norway, but to attack
ultimately the U.S. If the Arctic, if
the Atlantic Ocean, if Europe is not secure,
the U.S. has a big problem.
Well, there you go.
By the way, announced we're buying icebreakers and
we're buying them from Finland.
We haven't agreed on the price yet, but
we're buying them.
That's been announced.
Hold on a second.
Why are we buying icebreakers?
Shouldn't the ice will be gone by 2013?
Oh, John C.
Dvorak, please, please, please.
The ice has only increased.
It's baffling everybody.
This is what climate change does.
All right.
Question number two.
Aren't you people in the EU just a
bunch of freeloaders?
I'm assuming that's how you sold it to
President Trump.
Yes, he sold.
He had to sell it to me.
I'm not working for him.
No, I'm not working for him.
He had to sell me.
I was resisting.
I said, Donald, Donald, don't try to sell
me.
Just tell me with the elevator pitch what
you want me to do.
Who has conspicuously not been a very big
fan of NATO and essentially views Europe, as
he has mentioned in the past, as a
bunch of freeloaders.
He sees it as European nations basically funding
their welfare states, you know, giving free health
care, giving pensions at the expense of American
defense.
You think that view is fair?
The second half of the view is fair,
but the first half I would not buy
into because I think that and I'm pretty
much confident.
I'm very confident.
That's why I'm stuttering.
That and I'm pretty much confident of the
fact that the American president, Trump, very much
realizes his whole team.
Based on my conversations when I was in
Washington in March, when I was in April,
when I had the conversations last week in
The Hague.
Because, you know, I have him on speed
dial.
I say, hey, Donald, I'm going to send
you a text.
March, then April.
Yes.
And then in The Hague, when I basically
got an office there.
He made a big splash.
And I said, Donald, I'm going to send
you a WhatsApp.
And you're going to tell me what I
want to do.
That for the US to stay strong and
safe, there is this embeddedness with European security.
And of course, working together to keep the
Indo-Pacific safe.
But I do agree with the second half.
Did you hear about the Indo-Pacific safe?
Because that's what NATO does.
You know, Indo-Pacific is North Indo-Pacific
Treaty Organization.
There is this embeddedness with European security.
And of course, working together to keep the
Indo-Pacific safe.
But I do agree with the second half.
Because there is this enormous irritance since Eisenhower
with American presidents.
And I think they're completely right that Europeans
were not paying enough.
And that you are paying an average 3
.5 percent of your GDP on defense.
That Europeans were, well, struggling to get to
2 percent.
So there, he has a big point.
And luckily, last week in The Hague, we
solved that.
Yes, we solved that by saying, what's this
in your mouth?
You're going to up the ante, give us
3.5 percent.
And I don't have daddy issues.
I don't.
Before we get into that substance, I'd like
to talk a little bit about the style.
Because your interactions with President Trump in the
aftermath of that meeting have been called, and
I'm quoting here, fawning and orchestrated grovel.
I saw someone refer to NATO now as
the North Atlantic Trump Organization.
It's been a week.
I hadn't heard that one either.
I liked it.
I also like the term orchestrated groveling.
Yeah, I hadn't heard that.
But it's orchestrated.
Well, it's Trump, you know, it's all a
show.
President Trump in the aftermath of that meeting
have been called, and I'm quoting here, fawning
and orchestrated grovel.
I saw someone refer to NATO now as
the North Atlantic Trump Organization.
It's been a week.
It's been a week.
A lot of criticism.
How do you see it?
Well, I see it completely different, of course,
because he is my daddy.
Well, let's face what is happening.
There were seven or eight countries in Europe,
not a two percent.
So now it's five percent, a new benchmark.
Do we really think that we would have
been able last week in The Hague to
agree to that five percent if Trump would
not have been reelected as president of the
United States?
So I think when somebody deserves praise, that
praise should be given.
And President Trump deserves all the praise, because
without his leadership, without him being reelected president
of the United States, the two percent this
year and the five percent in 2035, we
would never, ever, ever have been able to
achieve agreement on this.
So put that in your head.
I want to get to what exactly these
numbers are and what they mean.
But there are these two camps after this
summit.
You know, one said that you did what
you did to sort of pacify President Trump's
ego and have a successful summit, which you
did.
And the other says that while our president
likes flattery, he ultimately sees it as weakness.
And it only appeases him for so long.
I'm sure you've seen all this commentary afterwards.
I was 14 years prime minister of the
Netherlands, so I know.
So I know what bullcrap is.
About criticism, but I don't care.
In the end, I need to do my
job.
I need to do my job for the
military guys.
I've got Raytheon breathing down my neck.
I've got Boeing talking crap to me.
I've got to do my job.
I've got to sell, sell, sell, daddy, lady.
I have to keep the whole of NATO
together.
And the biggest ally is the United States.
That biggest ally has paid since Eisenhower more
than the Europeans.
And now for the first time in 65
years, we will equalize between what the U
.S. is paying and what the Europeans are
paying.
So, and without Trump, that would not have
happened.
And now you see it.
This, oh, you got to listen to her
little thing at the end there.
I stepped on my own clip.
Listen to what she does at the end.
Ally is the United States.
That biggest ally has paid since Eisenhower more
than the Europeans.
And now for the first time in 65
years, we will equalize between what the U
.S. is paying and what the Europeans are
paying.
So, and without Trump, that would not have
happened.
Yeah.
Hmm.
So this is it.
NPR thing.
It's NATO versus BRICS.
That's just the bottom line.
And right now, NATO is looking pretty strong
and BRICS is looking pretty weak.
The Chinese have completely withdrawn.
Moscow, who knows where Putin's at, but he's
not going to do it alone.
I read there's another publication out there, which
I've been looking at, because what drew my
attention to it is Facebook banning it.
And it's out of India called Op India.
Op India.
Cool.
Yeah.
Op India.
Yeah.
I think it's opindia.com.
And they have nothing but these.
I don't, I can't, I haven't put my
finger on it.
If it's, if it's anti-Hindi.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Do you have a Facebook account?
No, there was in the, it got banned.
It got news.
I was looking, okay, here's what.
I went to Google News and said Facebook
bans, because I heard that there's some new
bans.
And they didn't show up, because I guess
I was reading an old feed or something.
And they had this thing about Op India.
And I said, Op India, what's Op India?
And I clicked on the link and I
went to the site.
Next thing you know, I've discovered this kind
of gold mine of screwball news from India.
A very slick operation.
This is not a slouch place.
And in there, one of the articles was
that how India is now the dominant character
in BRICS.
And Modi's taken over BRICS.
And everybody's fallen by the wayside except India.
So this brings me back to the old
thesis that the United States has always had
this problem with India.
That's why we were traditionally sided with Pakistan.
And we used to sell our jets to
Pakistan.
And India used to buy all its armaments
from Russia.
This was traditional forever until just recently.
I think especially during the first Trump administration
where they kind of tried to- Yeah,
that's when he went over to Modi and
went to the stadium and all that stuff.
Yeah, and saw the big stadium full of
people and said, oh man, I can't get
this many people.
This is a rally, Modi.
This is what I call a rally, yeah.
And so there's something up.
And so you're right about BRICS.
And nobody wants, this is just like the
Chinese, we talk about this sociologically on this
show.
We talk about how nobody really wants the
Chinese to be your boss.
You want to be boss, your boss to
be an American or a Brit or somebody
who knows how to manage people properly.
You don't want a Chinese- Or Indians.
Or Indian.
Indians could be worse.
Well, I remember the stories Mo used to
tell me when he was in corporate life.
Especially as a black American, he was definitely
a minority to the Indian rulers of the
technology company he worked at.
Yeah, I'll bet.
So just sticking with the EU for two
more clips, there's something going on.
One of our producers is in Hungary.
He says, man, there's a lot happening right
now.
They're trying to get rid of Orban, trying
really, really hard.
He had this guy, it's in the clip,
I forget his name.
He was, first he was all in with
Orban's party and now all of a sudden
he flips over.
He's anti-Orban.
Something is, just one more dimension aside.
Orban, they had the big gay rally in
Hungary, huge gay event that was against the
law, basically, but they weren't going to do
anything about it.
Which brings me back again to Op India.
There's a number of stories there about trans,
trans, trans in India and trans flag, that
pink and baby blue flag all over the
place.
There is something going on.
Here's what's happening in Hungary.
A day after European Union leaders of the
27-member bloc failed to reach a consensus
on top jobs for EU Parliament, political parties
across member nations are mulling over which umbrella
alliance they will join.
In the latest, Hungary's opposition party has decided
to join European Parliament's EPP or the European
People's Party bloc which is a centre-right
alliance.
We are happy that the EPP group just
voted in favour of our party.
97% of the EPP members supported joining
the TISA party to the EPP.
We are a pro-European party as the
Fidesz was some years ago.
TISA, the Hungarian opposition party, is led by
Peter Magyar.
The political newcomer is seen as a threat
to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán whose party
used to once be a part of the
EPP bloc.
However, Orbán's party parted ways with the alliance
in 2021.
Magyar, on the other hand, will be occupying
a seat in EU Parliament as an MEP.
However, the opposition leader has emphasised that while
being in Brussels helps strengthen the party's position,
his focus remains on Hungary's elections in 2026.
Well, you're right because I didn't have a
clip of the LGBTQ plus pride, illegal pride
demonstration in Hungary.
But that's how you do it.
That's what we've done traditionally.
It's like you, and I think Europe is
like, oh, this is great.
We're going to, because you know, when you
get the trans people and you get all
the people who are just anti-everything in
and they're going to demonstrate and it looks
big and Orbán's in trouble.
At least that's what I'm hearing from our
producer in Hungary.
Meanwhile, Queen Ursula is under fire.
A vote of no confidence will be held
this week.
And this is still about the Pfizer deal,
the secret text messages.
This has haunted her.
Oh yeah.
Now this is the guy, I think he's
from Romania, a member of European parliament, and
he's spearheading this.
And he doesn't think it's going to happen
this time, but they're definitely on the war
path against Queen Ursula.
The European commission has been targeted by a
motion of censure in the European parliament.
The MEP should debate it on Monday and
the confidence vote is scheduled for Thursday.
Entabled by this Romanian MEP, the motion of
censure was signed by conservatives and the extreme
right.
His first argument concerns the commission's refusal to
disclose text messages during Pfizergate.
The European court of justice in Luxembourg says
that the European commission should disclose those SMS
which were exchanged between Frau von der Leyen
and Burla from Pfizer about the contract, a
contract with a value of 35 billion euros
about the contract for the vaccines.
Furthermore, the conservative MEP accuses the commission of
mismanagement of funds for the post-COVID-19
pandemic recovery plan.
He also says that the commission would have
funded NGOs to lobby MEPs with the aim
of promoting the European green pact.
Accusations refuted by the commission.
To be adopted and lead to the resignation
of the college of commissioners, the motion must
secure two-thirds of the votes cast and
the support of a majority of MEPs.
There will be a vote against the motion,
I'm sure of this, because the majority is
still there with Frau von der Leyen.
And even in this majority, there are a
lot of discontents against Frau von der Leyen.
They will not, for the moment, force her
to resign, but probably this will happen in
six months.
Six months.
Frau von der Leyen.
I like that too.
Instead of Queen Ursula.
Frau von der Leyen.
Oh, sorry, John.
Crap.
It's one of those days, man.
Hold on.
Yeah, you're back.
All my commentary, those funny one-liners I
had, the whole thing.
All gone.
All lost in history.
Just about COVID deals and the shots for
a second.
You probably haven't heard about this on the
American mainstream media, which is mainly paid for
by the pharmaceutical industry.
So you might have missed this one from
the FDA.
It's held up.
It's completely held up by the pharmaceutical industry.
The media would not be today's media if
it wasn't for the fact that they are
propped up.
That's a better word.
Propped up by pharma.
I mean, if pharma couldn't advertise and prop
them up, my quad screen would be one
screen.
It would just be all over.
One screen, BBC.
Here's Dr. Vinay Prasad of the FDA with
a short announcement, not an unimportant one.
Thank you all for coming.
I'm going to be discussing the safety label
update for myocarditis associated with mRNA COVID vaccines,
which we just put forward.
This came out on June 25th, 2025.
The FDA approved a required updated warning, which
is a class warning for all mRNA COVID
-19 vaccines in conjunction with the manufacturers.
I'm going to walk you through the updated
warning and the basis for the warning.
The updated safety label for the mRNA COVID
vaccines harmonizes the age range across products and
adds additional data about the adverse event of
myocarditis and what we know.
It's based on two factors.
It's based first on the unadjusted crude incident
rate from the 2023 to 2024 formulation.
And it's also based on persistent and concerning
cardiac MR findings.
This is the FDA analysis of the BEST
system, which is an observational data system that
captures myocarditis and pericarditis following immediately afterwards, the
first seven days COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
And what you see here is that even
in 2023, 2024, the last year for which
we have data, you see a rate of
myo and pericarditis of eight out of a
million in all persons in this age range.
And in the highest risk demographic group, young
men between the ages of 12 and 24,
it's about 27 per million.
Notably, the BEST data set does not allow
us to disambiguate the risk by product.
And as such, this is a class mRNA
safety label.
There you go.
Did not see that on my local news
or my cable news, on my cable news.
No, of course not.
Yeah, myocarditis.
And we had all these young men falling
down.
It's crazy.
Dropping dead.
Yeah, yeah.
Athletes.
Yes, athletes.
She always mentions athletes.
Yeah, yeah.
Sad, sad what they did to us.
Well, they're still doing it.
Yeah.
And they'll continue doing it until they stop
advertising on TV.
And then that'll be the end of it.
People can actually look into this stuff.
I have this oddball clip I've been sitting
on, which is CCP versus the USA energy
sector.
Okay, let's have a go.
There is a coordinated assault by the radical
left backed and paid for by the Chinese
Communist Party to seize control of our courts,
to weaponize litigation against U.S. energy producers,
all in order to undermine American energy dominance.
Senators on Capitol Hill are looking into the
Chinese Communist Party's influence campaigns against U.S.
energy producers.
Senator Ted Cruz accusing the Chinese Communist Party
of funding climate advocacy groups that work to
block these energy producers in courts, bankrupting them
through financial and expensive litigation.
If this is truly about reducing emissions, why
isn't China investing that money in reducing its
own pollution?
Communist China emits more carbon than the United
States and Europe combined.
The lawsuits many times work to block oil
and gas companies as well as coal companies
here in the U.S. Cruz says that
these lawsuits are in the name of climate,
but actually they're about controlling global energy in
favor of the CCP.
The goal, well, one panelist says that whether
or not these companies know if they're benefiting
the CCP, their actions work toward that goal,
weakening the U.S. power grid, increasing the
price of power and decreasing energy production.
Not sure I quite understood, mainly because I'm
so annoyed by Ted Cruz.
Well, what's happening is that it turns out
that an investigation of all these lawsuits that
prevent companies from drilling or doing this or
doing that, there's all financing by the Chinese.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so they're financing a lot of the
legal action taken against energy progress.
Smokeless war.
That's what they do.
There's a way to do it.
I mean, if they can get away with
it, which they apparently can, and that report
wasn't clear enough.
I see, I see, I see.
No, no, I'm just, Ted Cruz, he just
puts his foot in his mouth.
It just sounds like his foot's in his
mouth all the time.
Well, which is kind of a shame because
he was the debating champion.
He thinks, I think he's taking himself so
seriously as a debater.
He's a master debater.
Yes, exactly.
Nah, yeah, it's just, I mean, remember when
he went on vacation during COVID?
Remember that?
He took the jet down to Jamaica or
wherever he went.
I don't blame him.
No, but he is just a walking public
relations nightmare, this guy.
Let's play this clip on the migrants.
This is a story that keeps unfolding, the
South Sudan story.
This is the latest.
Plane carrying people deported by the Trump administration
has arrived in South Sudan after the migrants
lost a last-ditch legal effort to halt
their transfer.
Officials say only one is from South Sudan.
Oh, we're sending people to Sudan?
South Sudan.
So I'm thinking, both, I think the throwing
people out of the airplane into the drink
and sending them to South Sudan, which they
got sued over and the suit got lifted.
So they sent a bunch of people to
South Sudan.
Of course, then there's always a Costa Rica
prison.
I think a lot of this is just,
I think it's the Trump administration's version of
promotion.
If you can convince these illegals that if
they get shackled and brought on an airplane,
they're going to get tossed in the Atlantic,
they're going to start self-deporting.
This could be a giant op, I'll use
the term again for this third time in
the show, a giant op to get people
to self-deport by scaring them with phony
baloney, mythical stories about, oh, you're going to
end up in South Sudan.
Who the hell wants to end up in
South Sudan if you came from Mexico, let's
say, or any place, Haiti even.
Or you don't want to go to alligator
alcatraz.
And you don't want to go to the
alligator place and you don't want to get
thrown out of an airplane alive.
Interesting.
I heard that over a million people have
self-deported.
Supposedly.
And not all using the program, many have
just left.
Right, but if you use the Customs and
Border Patrol home app to self-deport, they
give you $1,000.
Yeah, they give you $1,000.
And there's been no evidence that they're not
giving them the $1,000 when they arrive.
Right, yeah, once you're back home.
It has been one feedback story, again, making
me think that this is all part of
a scheme.
Because you'd think that somebody, some Democrats say,
oh, they just trick them into leaving and
they'd never give them the money.
That's what they said at the beginning of
the program, if you recall.
The Democrats came up with that bullcrap.
And so they've been giving and obviously giving
him the money.
So I think that's, I'd take advantage of
that if I was worried sick.
You know, one of my buddies here, Shane,
he's an electrician.
He used to live in Florida.
He's been in the Hill Country about as
long as we are.
And he tells me all kinds of stories
about, so he hires legals and he doesn't,
it doesn't mess around, this guy.
But he said that all work in Boot
Ranch.
You should look up Boot Ranch.
It's about 20 minutes from Fredericksburg.
The average price of a home in Boot
Ranch is $8 million.
Boot Ranch?
Oh, yeah.
And they've got golf courts.
What town is it associated with?
With the town of Boot.
I don't live in Boot.
What?
Boot.
Just look at Boot Ranch.
And there are now, no one is building
anymore.
And he said, you know, the reason why,
this is like, I was out there with
my guys and, you know, they're doing some
electrical work.
And, and all of a sudden, you know,
a pickup truck goes by and they're honking
their horn.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Ice, ice, ice, ice, ice.
And like, everybody just like, all these guys
just split.
Just for days they were gone.
And it wasn't true.
There was no ice raid on Boot Ranch.
But man, there's some nice houses.
I just went to images.
That place is insane.
There's some houses there that, that are, wow.
Oh, yeah.
I told you.
I told you.
I mean, really, wow.
And I'm grateful for Boot Ranch because that's
why we have a rocking airport here.
You know, it's small, but you can land
your G4.
So, yeah, we got good services because of
Boot Ranch.
But yeah, yeah.
So that's a crazy, here's a place that's,
some of the size of the swimming pools
are the size of a small lake.
I know.
We had a flyover.
That's nuts.
Look at the prices.
How did this ever come about?
A boot.
Whoever's behind Boot Ranch, the promoter, the developer.
Yeah.
That's the guy you want to know.
I'll find him and give him a call.
You should.
I mean, that's a guy, that guy's a
genius.
Most of us Fredericksburg people don't really mix
with the Boot Ranch people.
I wouldn't, looking at their houses, I would
think they mix with too many people.
They're mixed with each other, maybe somebody in
Palm Beach.
And some key parties, but that's about it.
Hey, with that, I want to thank you
for your currency.
In the morning to you, the man who
put the C's in the CCP lawsuit.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
DeVore.
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning, our ships see blues on
the ground, feeding the air, subs in the
water, and the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the
troll room.
Hello, let's catch you guys, how we doing?
All right.
Now, what is average for a Sunday?
24, 25.
What do you think it is today?
20.
26, 74.
Well, it makes no sense.
Well, you know what?
It's raining, not everywhere, but it's raining and
4th of July is over.
Everyone's sick of their family.
It's hung over, hung over.
Well, they didn't donate, that's for sure.
We only had a total of donations over
50 bucks.
29 people total out of a million listeners
and then 30,000 people in the mailing
list.
If you look at Twitter, that's because of
our stance on Israel.
That's just the beginning.
It's just the beginning.
It's all going downhill.
Yeah, well, then where's the Jew money that
we're looking for in these guys?
They wonder why donations are down.
They wonder why.
I hear that all the time.
Oh, man.
Well, I'm not even going to read them
to you.
It's not.
Oh, come on.
Oh, okay.
Why do people put the effort in to
say stuff like this?
I think a lot of them are bots.
There's definitely bots at work on my timeline.
I don't think there's that many bots.
Yeah, I think there's a lot more.
Why are the bots writing us?
Small potatoes.
Go write somebody over it.
Well, the bots are practicing.
Oh, so they're workshopping with us?
Oh, yeah.
We're training the models here.
I'll just go through some stuff.
Do you guys still ignore all of Trump's
insanity to cherry pick some left-wing criticism?
That's a good one.
That's Larry Underwood.
I like that.
I like that's a good one.
I know people personally that would feel that
way.
Yeah, sure.
Trump is literally insane and he's got insanities
and he's a criminal.
Let's see.
We're scrolling down the timeline.
Okay.
No, it's not that much.
No, no, no, no.
But considering our audience, we don't get as
many complaints as you think.
I'm stuck at 9,800 people forever.
Oh, here's one.
You're a disgusting demon and need to seek
mental help.
That's a favorite.
Why are you a disgusting demon that needs
mental help?
I don't know.
But what demon-like thing did you do?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay, let's see.
Adam Curry.
Oh, let's see.
Since I've often promoted No Agenda podcast.
Not the, but No Agenda podcast.
Who is this?
Tay.
Oh, Tay is from China.
With 200, 200.
We have nobody from China.
I'll try it.
Since I've often promoted No Agenda podcast, I
now post this disgusting, retarded, anti-Christian quote
from No Agenda's Adam Curry.
If you go after the Jews slash Israel,
you automatically go after the Christians because that's
exactly what happened between Tucker and Ted Cruz.
I don't think that's exactly what I said,
but.
What?
I don't know.
Well, that's convoluted.
Yeah, let's see.
Is Ted Cruz Jewish?
No, I don't think.
There were some really nasty ones about the
flood.
Like, let's see.
Oh, people are sick.
Oh, no, they're very, very sick.
I'm waiting for this.
I'm trying.
There was a good one here.
And that was, oh man, people post a
lot of junk.
Oh, you're going through your Twitter timeline.
Yes.
I thought you were getting emails.
Here it is.
I hope their house gets what they ignore
happened to Gaza.
If there's a God, he would strike bad
people like Curry with lightning.
But God is fake and Curry is faking
being a Christian.
And I must have effed kids on camera
and become part of the blackmail Israel lobby.
OK, so there you go.
Who was that person?
Oh, well, that was Megatronic.
Megatronic has seven followers.
Seven followers, probably eight now.
Well, when you see that seven followers sending
some random note like that, that is a
bot.
Yeah, of course.
There's lots of bots.
I mean, there's going to be nothing left
of bots.
It's bots making YouTube videos and bots watching
the YouTube videos and somehow YouTube making money
on it.
That's really what's going to happen.
It's amazing.
We had a good idea over dinner.
I think JC had this idea, which is
a fireworks displays.
You know, there's competitors, especially in China, are
the drones, the drone displays where they're flying
around and making images and stuff.
How about I think this would draw a
big crowd.
Drones all equipped with Roman candles trying to
shoot each other down out of the sky.
I'd watch that.
Yeah.
You know, I can't even get you to
do a microphone company.
Now we're going to do drones with Roman
candles.
No, the microphone company is still in play.
Please.
Christopher Brown actually sent us a very reasonable
exit strategy idea.
It's already too late.
Isn't the special been done?
We can't even do these anymore.
It's a little device that looks like a
compressed air can that clips onto your belt
or your purse.
It connects to your smartphone and uses advanced
AI to automatically remove your daily CO2 emissions
from the surrounding air.
And of course, we'll have to have some
blockchain verification in there.
And you can dress it up in an
LGBTQ plus flag.
Once you get home, you can hook it
up to a storage device.
It will be collected regularly and buried safely
in Africa.
I kind of like that.
That's a great idea.
Because you might as well get on board.
Because I mean, and think of the carbon
credits we can get for that.
Yeah.
I mean, you could give those away with
what the, you know, the carbon credits are
going to be worth.
It's going to be dynamite.
Anyway, thank you, trolls, for being here.
It's nice to have you with us.
They're listening to us at trollroom.io, perhaps
on a modern podcast app, which you could
find at podcastapps, plural.io. And we are
value for value.
You already surmised that, I'm sure.
Value for value means from time to time,
when you're like, you know, I got some
value out of that show.
I sat around with over two and a
half thousand people.
And I listened to it.
And I was like, you know, that was
kind of good.
I laughed, I cried, I got mad, I
learned something.
I got a good stock tip, which would
just be incidental and coincidental since we don't
give stock tips.
Anything.
I learned a little bit about the history
of Texas.
You know, maybe I could sound a bit
smarter around my friends, all my QAnon friends,
who are sending you videos and links.
And, oh, this guy's spot on.
He's got it.
The guy who said, you know, I took
up some houses, that guy, he is spot
on.
Okay, before you continue, I stumbled on the
boot ranch, one of the pages of inventory
of houses.
There's a couple, there's like 12 or 15
for sale right now.
There's a lot, actually, a lot more than
that.
I'm counting at least 20 or 30.
Oh, wow.
But there were four, I'd say the average
price is 4 million, not eight.
But if you go to the high end,
13 million, 13 million, five, five, six.
It's not cheap, but these houses are huge.
Oh, yeah.
They're like 20,000 square feet.
Well, some of the big ones, yeah.
Yeah.
And then there's raw land, you can buy,
here's raw land, 1.2. Yeah, for like
a quarter acre.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, right.
Here's some more, here's cheap raw land for
850.
Anyway, so if you're in the market for
a house at Boot Ranch and you're listening
to the show, consider sending us a little
value back, a donation.
Just learn about a great place to live.
We got an airstrip nearby.
You got the cute little town of Fredericksburg
to hang out in.
And you can say you live in Fredericksburg
when you really don't, you live in Boot
Ranch.
In the county of Boot, Boot, Texas.
In fact, there's a lot of them with
Fredericksburg address.
Here's a place for 13-7 and it's
on Boot Ranch Circle and it says Fredericksburg.
Yeah.
So there it is, unincorporated.
The HOA fees must be outrageous.
Oh, I would.
More than my rent.
Nobody should ever be in an HOA.
I've never lived in one.
I never will.
I think it's dumb.
You're throwing money away.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
We don't have an HOA, but of course,
you can't tell the neighbors to tie their
dogs up or stop shooting fireworks on my
lawn.
We solve those things differently here.
There's other ways of doing it.
Hey, we want to thank the artist who
brought us the artwork under the Value for
Value model for episode 1778.
We titled that Three Holes, One Bag.
And we went back and forth a lot
because we are kind of traditionalists when it
comes to artwork for holidays like Christmas and
Easter and the 4th of July.
And Nestworks, who is a real artist, made
us a nice piece of an exploding firecracker
which had his kind of trademark imagery on
there.
And it's an ITM blast and a big
explosion.
It had all the elements.
It was, it popped on the page.
You know, it looked good, particularly on a
white background.
And I don't think, well, actually, if I
recall, we did go back and forth quite
a bit.
Well, we started with American Freedom, the Chevy
that was dragging his ass.
Yeah, we didn't like the dragging, the Chevy
dragging.
The rear wheel was in the dirt.
It didn't feel right to us.
And that was bad.
You were going for the kids on the
bike, which was like, no, it looked like
a Disney drawing, a Disney cartoon, didn't like
that.
It was the kids on the bike.
Yeah, like the 4th bike parade.
Oh, the 4th bike parade.
Yeah, I wasn't going for it that much.
See, I liked the No Agenda fireworks by
Blue Acorn.
I thought that was nice, No Agenda.
I used Lady Liberty for the newsletter.
Yeah, we did talk about that one.
That was also nice.
Nice.
And then the interesting one here is the
Darren O'Neill's who's been doing the AI
art longer than anybody else.
He's got a piece next to ITM Blast,
which is the one we picked, called Bad
Adam.
And it is just, the dimension, there's no
color range whatsoever.
Tell me, what comic strip does that look
like?
Archie.
Yes, nailed it.
It's completely derivative of the Archie comics.
Yeah, except for the colors.
Yeah, no, there's no luminance.
Now, the one we both liked, and if
it wasn't 4th of July, we would have
chosen NASA Girl.
I like NASA Girl a lot.
Yeah, we like NASA Girl.
Darren did that.
It's a little girl popping out of a
box with bad teeth.
A little girl with bad teeth.
That was good.
We both, if it wasn't 4th of July,
NASA Girl.
Yeah, I laughed out loud with that one.
Yeah, NASA Girl would have been a winner
for sure.
And obviously, there's tons more AI art for
today.
It's ruining everything.
That's great.
We have exactly one end of Showmix, and
it's a piece of AI.
That's it.
No one sends a Showmix, and yet Showmixes
will end.
I got a note from someone saying, it's
going to ruin the show.
So I don't think it's going to ruin
the show, but it'll ruin the mix segment
of the show, that's for sure.
Well, the mix section is ruining itself.
Yeah.
Do you think- The guys who are
the creative song guys that used to do
the mixes, and they do derivative stuff and
funny stuff, and they throw it into a
corg and- What happens is they're just
tired.
They're tired.
Yeah, it's amazing that we can do the
show at the high level that we continue
to proceed with, and I think it has
nothing else to do with any one thing
except we never went to the third show.
I think we did one or two third
shows.
I'm pretty sure we did at least one
third show.
Nope, we just kept promising.
It's just classic promise and never deliver.
Yeah, like every other thing we promise.
Like the microphone company.
Like the HEMA underwear.
Yeah, like the Vinegar book.
The microphone's coming.
That microphone is too many.
As soon as the tariff thing is worked
out, we're done.
Oh, now you're blaming it on tariffs.
This happened before Trump was even elected the
microphone company.
I saw it coming.
Please, you weren't even thinking Trump was going
to win.
Let's go on to some other topic.
I've been using the Curry One microphone for
over a year and a half.
Yeah.
And people love the sound of it.
It's a good sounding product.
Okay.
It's a great product.
So we have- Yeah, it's an outstanding
product.
All right, thank you very much, Nessworks.
We appreciate you, and now we're going to
thank our producers who sent us some value.
We thank everybody who sends us financial, time,
talent, treasure donations.
$50 and above.
And this is the executive and associate executive
producer segment where anybody with $200, not only
do we read your notes, but we'll also
give an associate executive producer credit, which is
a real credit, just like our PhDs in
media deconstruction.
And you can put this credit on the
IMDb.
You can put it on your letterhead.
You can use it in Hollywood.
And if anyone complains or questions it, we
will vouch for you personally on the phone.
If you have three- Yes.
Yeah, we will.
Yes.
If you have $300 or more, then you
get an executive producer credit, and we will
also read your note.
And we kick it off with Kent Oler,
who's from Hockley, Texas.
And Kent, now this is a belated 1776
.76. He missed the 4th of July, but
still coming in in the 4th of July
weekend.
Thank you very much, Kent.
A beautiful, beautiful donation.
And he says, thank you for your courage.
Please knight me, Sir Tardy the Delayed.
My late brother hit me in the mouth
way too long ago to admit, so could
you please de-douche me?
You've been de-douched.
And he would like a Build Back Better
jingle and F35 karma.
And he says, God bless.
Thank you from Kent.
Thank you, Jeff Smith.
You've got karma.
That was an example of the kind of
material we used to have people produce that
has now been replaced by AI because of
the lack of...
Yes, that's the Jeff Smith, who I don't
even know if he listens anymore.
He's in Nashville.
He's on tour.
He's a working musician.
But whenever I say, hey, Jeff, can you
help me out?
Right away, he drops everything, jumps into a
studio and makes it.
And we love him for that.
And there's a professional, one of the few
we have left.
Sir Jeff, a different one in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,
33333.
And he writes, ITM, please put me on
the birthday list for 7-9.
We got you.
Thank you for your courage, Sir Jeff, a
baron of PA Route 33 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
All right.
Congratulations.
The Indianapolis No Agenda June Meetup, Greenwood, Indiana,
$300.
This is a switcheroo for the raffle donation
winner.
So this goes to Adam Ketterman.
And Adam Ketterman will put that in right
now.
He will be an executive producer for this
episode.
Greetings, sirs.
I just recently had the pleasure of attending
the Indianapolis No Agenda Meetup and met some
great, open and fun people.
I won the raffle, therefore sending it back
into the cause.
Thank you.
Just started listening, and I really appreciate the
deep dives into topics that really concern all
of us.
Deep dive.
I look forward to upcoming content and getting
to know the locals better.
And he says, do you still have Good
To Be Here Brolf to play?
Well, of course we do.
Good to be here, Brolf.
It's Fauci.
Now we have Lavender Blossoms, our buddy in
Northville, Michigan, 22722.
Adam, did you knock over the rain stick?
Yeah, there you go.
Sir Cal did it.
He said it.
Yes.
I hope all is well.
Stay dry, Sir Cal of LavenderBlossoms.org.
Yes.
Hope all is well there, Sir Cal.
Dame Shelley is in Grand Forks, North Dakota,
21270.
That is an associate executive producer.
She says, happy birthday, Sir Chadwick, on July
8th.
Love from your sister, Dame Shelley.
Ah, how sweet.

Let's vote for Jobs.
You've got karma.
And then we have one more final.
Anonymous in Seattle, Washington.
$200.
And Anonymous says, I thought the pride flag
represented tolerance and compassion.
Huh.
You know, actually, this brings me to a
bonus clip.
A bonus clip.
This is a clip that was doing the
rounds.
Several people sent it to me.
A user on X known as Ringo Star.
Not to be confused with the Beatle, Ringo
Star.
And this is finally one of our gays
saying, hey, enough already.
And I just love this guy.
I thought he was hilarious in how he
presented his argument and his case.
You might not like the truth, but I'll
never tell a lie.
The LGB community needs a divorce from the
TQ+.
Not a separation.
Not a break.
A full-blown, court-stamped, assets divided, move
out by Friday, divorce.
Because we need to make something very, very
clear here.
LGB, that's just sexual preference.
Yeah, me as a guy, I just like
other guys.
That's it.
Not a pronoun party and not a gender
celebration.
Just good old-fashioned same-sex attraction.
That's it.
Now the TQ+, oh, that's not a
sexual preference.
No, no, no.
That is an identity crisis center with a
revolving door.
You walk in as she, her, and come
out as a two-spirited, they, them, dragon
king.
What?
LGB says love is love.
The TQ+, yeah, I'm a non-binary
lesbian with a penis.
And if you don't date me, you're a
bigot.
I'm sorry, but when did being gay turn
into navigating someone else's delusions?
Yeah, I didn't sign up for that shit.
We used to fight for acceptance.
Now we're being guilt-tripped into co-signing
on someone's fantasy.
I don't think so.
Let me tell you something.
I didn't come out of the closet just
to be shoved in another one.
I know the difference between a man and
a woman.
So yes, the LGB wants a divorce stat.
There you go.
Finally, someone's standing.
I like the, I didn't come out of
the closet just to be shoved back into
another one.
That's a good line.
That's a good line.
I like that.
All right, thank you very much to the
executive and associate executive producers for episode 1779
of the No Agenda Show.
We'll be thanking the rest of our donors,
$50 and above.
You can always support the show by going
to noagendadonations.com.
We take PayPal.
You can use your credit card with Stripe.
You can send cash if you want, gold
coins.
We take it all to our PO box.
Go to noagendadonations.com to find out more.
Thank you again to these executive and associate
executive producers.
Our formula is this.
We go out.
We hit people in the mouth.
New.
Worst.
Order.
Good to be here, bro.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Let's see.
I got some public service stuff here.
We can play the PFAS stories.
Oh, funny.
I have the PFAS stories as well.
Where do you have them from?
I have them from NPR.
This is interesting.
I have them from CBS.
Hmm.
I think we should play CBS first and
then NPR.
Okay.
Let me just see.
All of a sudden, when they show up
like this, this is like, you know.
Something's going on.
Something's going on.
This is like three holes, one bag.
Here we go.
CBS.
The house will come to order.
Minnesotans call it Amara's Law, named for Amara
Strandy.
And starting this year, it's America's strictest state
law policing PFAS.
Chemical compounds found in everyday products such as
nonstick cookware and cosmetics, and linked to childhood
cancers and other health issues.
It's in products.
It's in humans.
It's in animals.
It's in air.
It's in water.
It's in fish.
Katrina Kessler heads Minnesota's Pollution Control Agency.
We all need to think about exposure to
PFAS and also ways to mitigate PFAS.
Here's how Strandy helped expose Minnesota's PFAS problem.
2022 was the year my cancer became unstoppable.
She was 20 and dying of liver cancer
when she testified before lawmakers.
PFAS have created a public health crisis that
has plagued my community for nearly 60 years.
Minnesota's new law will reduce, then eliminate, the
manufacture and sale of non-essential PFAS products
by 2032.
3M, a multinational corporation headquartered near Minneapolis, developed
PFAS and manufactured them for decades.
According to the state, PFAS waste discarded into
landfills, leached into local groundwater.
Don't drink the 3M cancer water, became the
wedding joke at my high school.
There's no definitive proof PFAS caused Amara's cancer,
but she was convinced and inspired lawmakers to
act.
So why don't I play your PFAS clip
one, then I'll play my clip two, and
then your clip two.
It'd be interesting.
Let's see what happens.
PFAS, or forever chemicals, are everywhere in our
daily lives.
In the fish.
Manufactured chemicals show up in our food, our
water, consumer products.
And they are- It's the same script.
Are inside of us.
Now scientists in the UK say we may
be able to harness our gut microbiome to
eliminate at least some of these chemicals from
our bodies.
Wait a minute.
Gut microbiome.
I'm thinking that Ozempic can solve this.
NPR's Will Stone explains.
These PFAS chemicals, and there are thousands of
them, show up in the blood of virtually
every American.
Their effect on our health isn't fully understood,
but research has found links to cancer, cardiovascular
disease, decreased fertility, and other harms.
Kiran Patil is a professor of molecular systems
biology at the University of Cambridge.
He says there's no easy way to get
rid of them.
They're forever chemicals because it's very difficult to
attack them chemically.
Scientists are exploring how to remove them from
our environment, for example, using harsh chemicals or
intense heat.
But of course, you know, we can't apply
this process to human bodies to get rid
of them.
This is why Patil turned to the bacteria
in our gut microbiome.
His team has identified certain strains that have
a remarkable ability to sop up these chemicals.
To kind of act as a sponge and
soak them up inside and store them inside.
Images from his lab show this clearly.
Clusters of PFAS molecules stashed in the bacterial
cells.
The research was published in the journal Nature
Microbiology today.
Patil's lab ran experiments with mice.
Their microbiomes were first colonized by these bacteria
strains from the human gut.
The scientists saw the bacteria absorb the PFAS
and the animals eventually cleared it when they
went to the bathroom.
Well, this is interesting.
So CBS is all over 3M and the
poor girl with cancer.
And NPR is talking about solutions.
Back to CBS.
I was exposed to these harmful chemicals through
no fault of my own.
And as a result, I will die with
this cancer.
3M told us it supports regulations based on
the best available science and established regulatory practices.
The company will stop producing PFAS by the
end of this year and agreed to pay
the state $850 million for a PFAS cleanup.
And now Minnesota has a PFAS law because
a dying woman told her story so well.
One person can make a difference.
You just have to have the willingness to
fight the good fight.
Amara Strandy died five weeks before the bill
became law.
Uplifting story from CBS.
We go back.
Hold on before I play second half.
Did anyone ask her if she got vax?
This happened in 2022.
Just wondering.
I mean, I want to throw in a
variable here.
Wow.
OK, back to your second clip.
This natural PFAS removal process, which we did
not know before this study.
Patil says the next step is to launch
clinical trials in humans to see whether probiotics
can increase the amount of these PFAS hungry
bacteria.
He and his collaborators have started a company
to do this.
I think this is a really important finding.
Andrew Patterson is a researcher at Penn State
who works on PFAS in the gut microbiome.
He says the findings open up a tantalizing
possibility, but everything gets a lot more complicated
when you jump from mice to humans.
How do you increase those beneficial bacteria through
probiotics?
I mean, that's quite challenging.
Not to mention there are many PFAS chemicals
and some could act differently.
This certainly teases at that possibility that there
is therapeutic benefit.
Without the human trials, it's probably still a
little premature to make that assessment.
But Patterson agrees the research offers a new
direction and some hope for tackling a growing
problem.
That's interesting why there's two completely different PFAS
stories in the same week.
Yeah, it is.
By the way, MSNBC, for some reason, they're
doing podcasts now on television.
Rachel Maddow is on Nicole Wallace's podcast.
And they're each in their broadcasting because they
can't get Rachel Maddow to come in but
once a week.
So now there's cheating.
Well, wait, no, Nicole Wallace is also at
home.
Now, she has a nicer home.
Who's that dude?
Oh, no, that is, in fact, Rachel Maddow.
So Rachel Maddow, sorry, Rachel Maddow has like
a homemade booth.
With with sound absorbing material around her.
And she's got they both have their cans
on.
This is odd.
They're like, hey, Joe Rogan has a great
formula.
This is what we're this is probably what
the new company is going to be.
Just a bunch of podcasts all the time.
Yeah, podcasts on TV.
Why not?
It's cheap.
It's the way to go.
It's a cheap production.
There's no doubt about it.
Yeah.
And it's so interesting to watch.
Oh, God.
Hey, you remember the the the music summer
of music, the party of music in France
where all the girls got pricked with needles?
Yeah, there's a follow up.
There's a follow up.
And it's very interesting.
Do you remember the headlines about syringe attacks
during Fête de la Musique in France?
While people on social media have been talking
about being pricked with needles, not a single
case has been confirmed yet, according to an
investigation by French newspaper Le Monde.
And experts say that's a common issue with
needle spiking.
But what actually happened?
Days before the annual music festival took place
across France at the end of June, calls
to jab women with needles during the festival
circulated on social media.
In response, videos popped up warning people about
such attacks.
After the evening of the festival, about 145
cases of needle spiking were reported across France.
Most of the cases involved young women.
Some said they experienced intense and sudden fatigue
and feared that they had been injected with
a substance.
Le Monde's investigation states that police arrested more
than a dozen suspects without any charges being
laid.
Several have since been released, some because of
a lack of evidence, while other cases are
still being investigated.
The newspaper reported that doctors examined 22 women
who said that they had been jabbed, but
found no evidence of needle prick injuries or
any psychoactive substances.
Some cases turned out to be mosquito bites,
according to the newspaper.
The chair of a French parliamentary inquiry into
TikTok said that videos warning against such attacks
can spread fear around something that is extremely
marginal.
But this year's incident is not the first
of its kind.
In 2022, people in France reported hundreds of
cases of needle spiking at concerts, bars or
nightclubs.
But in most of them, no substance had
been detected.
Um, yeah, makes sense.
People should, they want to understand this fully.
Uh, look up, go to Wikipedia, June, June
bugs, June bugs.
Look up the June bug contagion.
That was a good one.
Yeah.
That's that, you know, it makes sense.
There were videos circulating on TikTok and then
people felt in intense fatigue, which is what
happens when you're doing power of suggestion is
MDMA.
Power of suggestion plus MDMA equals, Oh, I
got pricked by a needle.
Yeah.
So no one actually felt being pricked by
a needle, but they're like, Oh, I feel
tired all of a sudden I must've been
pricked by a needle.
What's that?
Oh no, I got pricked.
Oh, it's a mosquito bite.
That's very powerful stuff.
When you think about it, how can we
turn that into a giving moment for no
agenda?
How can we turn it into an exit
strategy?
Speaking of Paris, this'll really get you sick.
Remember, we have a heat wave, a heat
dome over Europe.
Now, would you, or would you not like
to take a dip in the Seine?
That's the question Parisians are asking each other
this Saturday as the river opens up to
legal public swimming for the first time in
over a century.
As you see there, the first bathers have
already taken the plunge in central Paris near
the Notre Dame cathedral.
Let's hear what they had to say.
I'm so surprised.
I thought the water would be freezing, super
cold, but it's quite warm actually.
I thought it would be cold like seawater,
but it's warmer.
That's amazing.
Two other swimming sites are due to open,
one in Eastern Paris near the finance ministry
and another near the Eiffel tower.
That's where France 24's Tanishq Saha is standing
by.
Tanishq and Hidalgo has made good on her
promise to open the Seine up to swimming.
How are things shaping up where you are?
Are Parisians showing up?
Well, Alison, everyone is gearing up.
As you can see right behind me, as
you might know, there have been weeks of
intense heat in the French capital with Parisians
looking for another way to cool off and
the opening of these three dedicated sites on
the river Seine is sure to serve to
that purpose.
So there's a health crisis in Paris because
of the heat.
So let's just throw them in the Seine.
That'll help it.
That won't make them sick.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw this story a hundred years.
People have not.
And all of a sudden.
Oh, don't worry.
It's remember all the swimmers in the Olympics
for the Olympics?
Supposedly.
Oh yeah.
They were puking right after the race.
They were all puking.
It were.
Yeah.
And that wasn't just from the opening ceremony.
No.
You're on a roll here.
That's two to nothing.
Yes.
Might as well play these stories.
This is the North Korea bull crap story
of all time.
Oh, this is on PBS.
So that makes sense.
This week, federal prosecutors charged four North Korean
nationals with scheming to get hired by a
US company as remote workers and then steal
nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency.
It's a relatively new North Korean threat operatives
using fake IDs and credentials to infiltrate American
businesses.
Freelance investigative reporter Bobby Johnson explained how and
why they're doing it in a Wired magazine
article headlined North Korea stole your job.
Bobby, it's more than jobs that North Korea
is after.
Why are they doing this?
So the reason for this scam is really
to earn money and from well-compensated jobs
in the US and in the West and
send it straight back to Kim Jong-un
and his regime to fund various things from
the nuclear weapons program to his personal slush
fund and other government operations.
North Korea is really under pressure because of
sanctions.
So they can't make money through normal means.
What is this?
And what does cryptocurrency have to do with
this?
That's funny.
You should ask because there's story going.
I'd only get one more clip because I
couldn't take it anymore.
It's bull crap story.
There was and this guy from Wired, you
know, is just making up making stuff up.
Basically, but it goes on and on and
they never they'd story concludes.
There's no crypto angle at the end.
They just threw it in there for no
good reason.
All right.
I guess I get your attention.
It got my attention, but they go on
and I guess people have gone on and
they've got fake IDs and they're trying to
work for these tech companies home home jobs.
And according to this guy, they they get
a laptop and delivered to their home, which
is a middleman someplace in Minnesota who then
ships it off to Korea or keeps or
makes a copy.
And the Korean guy does the work.
And this whole thing, it's ludicrous.
And then somehow it's propping up North Korea.
They also access computer systems, steal data, potentially
plant malware or other dangerous software so that
they can in the future do ransomware attacks,
as we've seen in the past.
And what kind of jobs are we talking
about and what kind of companies?
As we all saw from the pandemic, a
lot of jobs went remote.
But one of the widest ranging is software
engineering.
And so this is a place where people
are very used to over over a long
period of time for hiring remote workers who
get the job done.
They're coding websites, they're building apps, they're making
kind of all doing all the IT and
technical stuff.
And so these are really the target jobs
for these operatives.
In job interviews, how do these guys disguise
who they really are and where they really
are?
Yeah.
So we'll go through the scam a little
bit.
So what they do is, first of all,
they steal an identity.
So they get hold of someone's ID, their
personal details, their social security number.
They make a resume up that says, you
know, they know how to do this.
They know how to do that.
They know how to code websites, whatever it
is that the jobs are acquiring.
They'll then get on to an interview talking
over a video like this.
They'll use all manner of tools at their
disposal to try and pass that interview.
So they will have an AI that generates
a script for them.
So the interviewer asks a question, the AI
is listening.
It will create a script that the person
can then read back and sound relatively fluent
or knowledgeable and particularly help them get over
their difficulties with English.
Because these North Korean operatives, although they've been
trained, they're not native English speakers and they're
not kind of who they say they are.
So they're trying to pretend.
But they'll also do stuff like if they're
asked to do software tests or coding tests,
they'll use AI or programmatic tools to kind
of cheat those tests and look like they're
better than they are.
And then when they get the job, that's
when things get even more complicated and they
have to bring in other people to help
them succeed.
Well, that was like filler content.
It was highlighted on the PBS webpage.
And I said, oh, let me look at
it.
And by the way, I again, I went
on forever with all these details about using
AI and it went on and on and
on.
And so it was highlighted.
I said, well, this has got to be
interesting.
And I got these two clips and I
realized what you just said.
Yes, filler.
It's filler, crap, dumb story.
You wasted my time with that.
Well, I intended on doing that.
Well, good job.
By the way, this the best people with
Nicole Wallace.
I'm not joking.
They're doing podcasts on MSNBC.
That's how you save money.
They're still yapping together.
Hashtag best people.
I'm sure it's just so entertaining because Nicole
Wallace, she's a brainiac and you have crying.
What's her name?
There's always tears crying.
Rachel's got to be some rhyme I can
make.
That would explain it.
Yeah, that's that is very.
That's like River.
Anyway, let's do some tech news.
This caught my eye because this is quite
a lot of layoffs breaking news out of
a Microsoft.
I'm sorry, John breaking breaking breaking news out
of a Microsoft headquarters in Redmond.
The company now confirms thousands of workers are
being laid off.
Microsoft began sending out layoff notices this morning.
Just over 9000 workers will be losing their
jobs, including nearly 2300 local employees here in
Washington.
This is the company's second mass layoff in
recent months.
In May, Microsoft laid off 6000 workers company
wide, including 2000 here in Washington.
Dude, that's a lot of people.
What's going on with that?
They're the way it's being played.
Oh, co-pilots taking over their jobs, really?
No, no.
H1B guys.
Oh, they're really in it.
They lay off.
They're laying off a bunch of what they
consider deadwood, overpaid, mature workers.
People have moved up the ladder.
They're getting paid too much.
So they're going to bring a bunch of
H1B Indians in and have them take take
those jobs.
Wow, wow.
And that's how you do it.
That's what Satya Nadella would do.
It's what you do.
Yeah.
So what are the rules?
Is those relaxed for H1B workers?
Has it gotten easier to bring those in?
That's all I know.
It might not even be true, but that's
what I'm led to believe.
Well, I'm definitely not upgrading to Windows 11
now.
I don't trust it.
Do you remember the lawsuits, the AI copyright
case?
Yeah, we had a number of clips on
it.
Yes.
Well, my favorite part is the part where
the lawsuit goes against both the corpus and
against the person who asks for the output.
Well, it's a nonstarter, says the judge.
While the AI wars continue to escalate between
tech giants, groups of creatives have been pushing
back.
And now in a win for big tech,
a judge has dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought
by 13 authors against Meta over AI training.
The group included big names like comedian Sarah
Silverman, novelist Jacqueline Woodson, and journalist Ta-Nehisi
Coates.
They accused Meta of illegally using their copyrighted
works to train its flagship generative AI model,
Lama.
But instead of the declaration that Meta violated
copyright law, the judge ruled the plaintiff's arguments
weren't strong enough to move forward.
According to a copy of the ruling obtained
by Courthouse News, the judge stated the dismissal
doesn't mean Meta's actions were lawful, only that
the plaintiffs quote made the wrong arguments and
failed to develop a record in support of
the right one.
The judge said a potentially winning argument was
barely mentioned.
The author's lawyers didn't present evidence on how
Meta's AI might flood the market with copycat
content from the real authors.
In a statement to the Associated Press, the
lawyers representing the authors disagreed with the decision
saying in part, the court ruled that AI
companies that feed copyrighted protected works into their
models without getting permission from the copyright holders
or paying them are generally violating the law.
Yet despite the undisputed record of Meta's historically
unprecedented pirating of copyrighted works, the court ruled
in Meta's favor.
Meta argues users of Lama don't have access
to the actual copyrighted works that there's no
evidence anyone has used the system to retrieve
them or substitute their work for the authors.
The judge also clarified that this ruling only
affects this specific case, not other ongoing cases
or those who may bring similar cases against
Meta in the future.
Man, looks like they got some bad advice
on that one.
I don't think these guys, the lawyers know
what they're doing.
No, no.
And I don't know that they're ever going
to know what they're doing.
And I'm not sure that they're ever going
to get a good case together.
It may be someday down the road, but
it's going to be too late.
Yeah.
When it happens, because these systems will be
loaded to the gills with stuff and you
can't pull it out.
I think unless you can find some way,
like, say, well, OK, Meta, my book is
in there and is being used, repurposed and
used in other people's work.
I want my book pulled from the corpus.
You know what they should have done?
They should have called Rob Carty.
Boots and suits.
He'll take care of it.
You know, that's going to be the new
ambulance chaser gig.
Lawyers who go after AI companies for you.
Not until somebody shows that it pays.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Someone's going to come up with.
No one has paid out.
The ambulance chasers show a profit.
Yeah, I know.
But when they figure it out.
They may never.
Well, they may.
May never may.
I think they never will.
I don't think it's doable.
You're going to have to be some sort
of genius to.
That's what I'm talking about.
Rob, the constitutional lawyer.
He's a genius.
He's a genius.
Well, if he was that much, he'd be
working on it as we speak.
Oh, trust me.
He's up there in Canyon Lake.
And how can I get some money out
of this?
This is a good idea, Curry.
Finally, an exit strategy to give you a
finder's fee.
Here you go.
A thousand dollars.
Hey, I'm a knight.
Thanks for my 1,100 bucks.
You'll be moving into boot ranch.
Hey, here's a here's a here's a grand.
Thanks, boys.
Good idea.
Hey, I got a sports ball story for
you.
Oh, this morning, a major league baseball pitcher
is benched as the league investigates unusual betting
on pitches he threw.
First pitch missing low ball one.
On June 15th, Cleveland Guardians right hander Luis
Ortiz threw the first pitch of the second
inning far outside the strike zone.
That's when a betting integrity firm identified unusual
bets on whether that pitch would be a
ball or a hit by pitch when a
player is hit by the ball.
Later in the month against the Cardinals, Ortiz
threw the first pitch of the third inning
even farther outside the strike zone.
And again, unusual betting action was detected.
After those pitches were flagged, Major League Baseball
opened up the investigation and spoke with the
Major League Baseball Players Association.
Ortiz was supposed to start last night's game
against the Cubs, but the Guardians saying he's
been placed on leave per an agreement with
the Players Association due to an ongoing league
investigation.
It comes a year after San Diego Padres
infielder Tukapita Marcano was banned from baseball for
placing nearly 400 bets on the game.
And in February, an umpire was fired for
sharing a sports betting account with a friend
who gambled on the game.
After the meteoric rise of sports betting, no
league is immune to potential controversy.
Just last week, an investigation into one of
the NBA's top free agents came to light.
Officials now looking into allegations Malik Beasley gambled
on the game.
It is an extremely serious situation because it
goes to the very heart of his fans,
spectators, anyone who cares, if you can trust
what you're watching.
The Detroit News now revealing Beasley's personal financial
woes with millions in debt.
As for Luis Ortiz, he's on leave pending
that investigation.
Well, all this to say, hey, I'm shocked.
Good work.
Oh, man, you're stepping on my side.
I was giving you a compliment for the
clip because this came out of the blue.
I had no idea.
Hold on.
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is
going on in here.
There you go.
Yeah, you should have put that on the
clip.
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Then, you know, you stop the clip and
you let me talk.
I know, I screwed it up, I screwed
it up.
Yeah, but how about that?
Back to this, back to this.
This all stems from the plague of prop
betting, which we've talked about on the show
before.
Like he's going to hit the batter with
the ball.
Well, wow, I can do that.
I've always believed that prop bets, I look
at them all the time.
Well, is Trump going to wear a red
tie or a blue tie in his inaugural?
I mean, if I saw that prop bet
floating around, I was Trump's family.
I'd say, hey, Dad, what are you going
to wear?
I'm going to wear the red tie.
Okay, you sure?
Yeah, I'm definitely going to wear the red
tie.
Okay, then you go bet.
I mean, the prop betting, prop betting is
a scam.
It has corruption written all over it.
And you see some of the prop bets,
is she going to wear high heel shoes?
Is the first Oscar going to go to
so-and-so?
Is she going to come out in a
dress?
Is she going to do this?
Is he going to do that?
All these are prop bets because these sick,
I tell them sick, they're sick, depraved gamblers
will bet on anything.
I got to get in on some of
this prop bet action.
This sounds like fun.
It's not fun unless you know what's going
on.
If you're a criminal, it's fun because it's
easy money.
Rob, the constitutional lawyer, says, tell John this
is all privilege.
He won't be commenting.
So just so you know, he won't be
commenting.
Because I guess he won't be commenting on
what?
Well, he's already on it.
He's already doing the AI lawsuits, clearly.
Good luck, Rob.
Even though it is the 4th of July
weekend, we still have some pretty nice meetup
reports.
We've got some dames, some knights, layaways, actually.
A layaway knight and two layaway knights and
a layaway dame.
We have a PhD.
We got, oh, John's tip of the day
and an AI end of show makes.
You can leave now.
All right.
John's going to thank our donors, $50 and
above, which is not a lot.
But here we go.

Congratulations, Kent.
Go to noagendarings.com.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
You can find the PhDs on that website.
It'll tell you how to give us information,
as in where to send it, and what
name you'd like on it.
We're happy to oblige, to comply.
We have layaway dame and knights today.
The first is from layaway knight and dame
surrounded by grace and dame winter of the
desert.
At least that's what they're about to become.
They have a note.
Hello, John and Adam.
I've been on the value for value dollar
an hour subscription of $16 a month since
October 2018.
It's 11 years when I started listening to
the show.
Last month, a glitch in my bank's automated
check sending system accidentally sent you two checks.
So enjoy the bonus.
Well, it's quite the glitch, actually.
I took this as a sign to finally
claim- What glitch is that?
It's not a good one.
Well, it is for us.
Yeah, for us.
I took this as a sign to finally
claim my knighthood.
After doing the calculation, turns out we have
now donated enough for a knighthood for myself
and for a damehood for my wife, who
is also an avid listener.
We would like to be knighted surrounded by
grace, and my wife would like to be
dame winter of the desert.
Adam, we are so thrilled to be able
to call you a brother in Christ.
For months before you officially announced your Christianity
on the show, my wife and I would
pick up on something from you during the
shows and ask each other if you were
secretly a Christian or might be on your
faith journey or something.
When you finally made the announcement on the
show, I don't think I ever made an
announcement on the show.
Did I ever go, hey, John, I have
an announcement?
Not that I know of.
I don't think so.
Our reaction was a big, I knew it!
It's been exciting to see the Holy Spirit
working within you.
Well, you two should get into spot the
spook then, because you can, if you're looking
for codes.
Yeah, that's a very good point.
It's good, it's a good, I'm telling you,
it's a hobby I only discovered a decade
ago, and I'm loving every minute of it.
And they end up with God bless you
both and the entire Noah-Jenna nation.
Thank you very much.
Then we have Lay-Away Knight Sir Valen
of Lincoln.
Sir Valen of Lincoln, that's UK, K-A
-Y-O-D.
I'm not sure, is that a call sign?
Or I don't know what K-A-Y
-O-D, because I think we should know
what that means.
So for the round table, I would like
Dim Sum, Mooncake, Lao Pa Barn, that's wife
cake, and Pao Lai Tea.
Please do me the service of bestowing karma
to all with a little girl yay.
Lastly, thank you all for reading, watching, and
work done when it was annoying to others
in your family.
Well, that's nice.
Thank you.
That's always been that.
It's funny.
What are you doing?
You're watching the news all day.
It's so true.
You're on your phone again.
Oh, we love doing it, ma'am.
And yes, and believe me, our families appreciate
what you're saying.
Best regards, Sir Valen of Lincoln, K-A
-Y-O-D.
So I will give you, what do you
want?
Do you want a day of karma?
And a little girl yay.
You've got karma.
There you go.
So why don't we bring these fine folks
up?
Because we have them and we have some
others.
So do you have a sword handy?
I do, as a matter of fact, it's
right here.
Oh, that's a nice one.
I got this one over here.
Perfect.
All right, Mr. Roberts.
And let's see.
We have Austin Roberts.
We have Mrs. Roberts.
There you go.
We've got, I think we've got them all
now.
Yes.
And Kent Oler.
There we go.
That's all of them.
Up on the podium.
I'm very proud to pronounce K-B as
Dame Winter of the Desert, Sir Valen of
Lincoln, K-A-Y-O-D.
Surrounded by Grace and Sir Tardy the Delayed.
For you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent
Boys and Chardonnay, along with that dim sum
mooncake, Lao Pao Ban and Pao Lai Tea.
Also, Bong Hits and Bourbon, Sparkling Cigarette Stores,
Ginger Ale and Gerbils.
And of course, we always have the mutton
and mead.
Head over to noagenderings.com.
That's where you will find your beautiful knight
and dame rings.
Give us your ring size.
There's a ring sizing guide on the website.
Tell us where to send it.
And we'll include some sticks of wax so
you can use these beautiful signet rings to
seal your important correspondence.
And as always, it all comes with a
certificate of authenticity.
Thank you for supporting the No Agenda Show.
And welcome to the roundtable.
Brand new knights and dames.
No Agenda Meetup!
That's right.
No Agenda Meetup.
Always a party no matter where you go.
Even if no one shows up.
This is the meetup report for Victoria of
Friday Afternoon Beer here at the Lighthouse Brewery.
This is Sir Rogue of the Taverns and
his dog, Rogue.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any people showing up
this week.
But hey, we'll be doing this again next
week and a few more times this summer
on Friday afternoon around five o'clock.
What do you got to say about that,
Rogue?
I look forward to everyone coming out and
joining Rogue and Sir Rogue of the Taverns
for a Friday afternoon beer at the Lighthouse
Brewery.
That's all from Victoria.
All right.
Thank you very much.
And next time, if we have to, like,
call somebody, go and visit that guy.
He's doing a meetup all by himself.

Not paying much attention here.
But a good turnout this time.
I love those guys.

You pay now.
I like the line, every beer you drink
is a beer a child can't drink.
And always include your server in these meetup
reports.

It's easy and always guaranteed a party.
All right, before we get to John's tip
of the day, we always have to have
an ISO off, which means we determine what
we're going to play at the very end
of the show.
We show you how the sausage is made,
where we argue about what we're going to
do.
I have only one today, so that doesn't
bode well for me since you have two.
We'll give it a shot.
Just wow.
That's not too bad.
I mean, I like it if it was,
you know, but it's not.
How come you have you have yours are
five seconds and 16 seconds.
You forget to clip them.
Oh, maybe.
I don't know.
Let's the one is what's the long one?
Well, yeah, the long was the king.
I'm playing with dialect on the on the
AI.
And so this this one probably won't win
because I don't know why it's 16 seconds,
you might as well play it.
King of England could not do better.
And how's that 16 seconds?
Well, it's King of England could not do
better.
It keeps going.
Oh, because I got it.
OK, I didn't.
Yeah, that sucks in so many ways.
But that's it.
I'm playing.
I'm playing.
I'm using AI for the benefit of the
show.
Edit, edit, edit.
Well, that was a blunder on my using
AI for the AI is killing all aspects
of the show, including this segment.
No.
Yes.
And so here's the other one.
Juicy.
That podcast was juicy.
OK, OK, you win it on that.
Hey, I sucks.
And here's John's tip of the day.
OK, well, this is a food, foodie recommendation.
This is and I don't know why I
haven't recommended this before.
I looked, I didn't see that I did.
But I'm going to recommend people as a
seasoning.
Oh, a seasoning, liquid smoke and specifically one
brand.
Are you sure you haven't done liquid smoke
before?
I think I had, but I don't remember
doing it.
And I looked and I couldn't find it.
Look it up.
Go.
You got your bingit.io. I'm going to
look it up on my bingit.io. OK,
I'm going to.
I'm going to.
So the brand is you have to look
up the brand because it would be this
brand.
There's a bunch of different people that liquids
make liquid smoke.
And the one that I prefer and recommend
because it never gets you can lose use
as much of it as you want, never
gets bitter.
It's a hickory.
It's the hickory smoke from colgen.
It's not normally available, except in the South.
All you can get it for mail order.
It's it's very popular in the South, but
you can't barely find it in the West
Coast.
They have rights and stubs and all these
other brands.
But colgen liquid smoke.
And here's where you use it in spaghetti
sauce.
It makes it taste like you have smoked
tomatoes.
Use it in pizza sauce in particular.
You'll knock it out of the park.
You can use it in stews and you
can use it as a cheat to make
pulled pork in the oven.
And a lot of people, commercial people have
used colgen in particular to make a phony
pulled pork that tastes like it was cooked
outside.
You know, you just cook it slow and
low in the oven.
You can cook, you know, put the pork
in there for 10 hours or longer and
liquid smoke it up and you swear to
God it came out.
And it tastes terrific.
It's a fabulous product, but I'd recommend it
on pizza, pizza sauce in particular.
Well, we have not had it as a
tip of the day, but we have discussed
it previously.
So it's valid.
It's valid.
It's a tip of the day.
It's a good tip.
Liquid smoke.
Isn't that what you get when you put
an iPhone in a blender?
Oh, no, that's I smoke.
I'm sorry.
Podcast.
Oops.
Sorry about that.
Yes.
There you go, everybody.
It's John's tip of the day.
Find them all at tipoftheday.net.
And that's it for your Fourth of July
holiday weekend extravaganza media deconstruction bonanza.
Woo.
We're here.
We always keep working.
And in fact, I'll be in New York
on Thursday, the next show, and I will
be working.
You're going to be in New York.
Look out for muggers.
Yes, I shall.
We're there to celebrate Tina's birthday with her
daughter.
So we're excited to visit New York.
It's going to be raining, which is good
because New York in the summer is never
a joy.
It's never a joy.
It does stink.
We have Nico Seim, his singular, singular end
of show mix created by AI.
And then after that, if you keep listening.
Did he say it was created by AI?
No, he didn't.
I'm pretty sure it is.
Well, he'll correct me.
He'll correct me if I'm wrong.
That Larry show coming up right after this
show.
That is Larry's Psychic Dreams.
You know, Larry's the guy with the big
deep voice.
Can't miss it.
And we'll be with you on Thursday.
So join us for more media deconstruction.
Until then, I'm Adam Currie.
In the morning.
