Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Thursday, July 24th, 2025.
This is your award winning give on Asian
media assassination episode 1784.
This is no agenda.
Waiting for number three.
Broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas
Hill Country here in FEMA region.
Number six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Silicon Valley, where we're all sick
and tired of people making that stupid heart
symbol with their hands.
I'm John C.
Devorah.
It's a crackpot in Bosco in the morning.
You seem a little low energy today.
Oh, well, liven it up.
Yeah, liven it up, man, because, you know,
before you know it, you're the third.
No, no.
There's already three.
No.
Who was number one?
We had.
Malcolm Jamal Warner.
Oh, you're right.
Malcolm Jamal Warner and Hulk Hogan and Ozzy
Osbourne.
That makes three.
You're right.
Number three is confirmed.
Well, this does give us a unique opportunity
since we have more than one.
Ladies and gentlemen, the no agenda in memoriam
segment.
I went back into the VHS archives because
in show business, you get to say, yeah,
I worked with him.
Yeah, don't you have that?
Oh, yeah.
No, I work with him.
Great guy, big fan of his work.
Big fan.
Big fan of his work.
Yeah.
So we first have two clips.
We go back to 1988 to the plane
ride to Moscow, known as the magic bus
or the get Doc McGee out of jail
free trip.
Here's Adam interviewing Ozzy.
Headbangers ball continues from the magic bus on
our way to the Soviet Union and no
strangers to the ball, of course, Ozzy and
Zack.
Guys, good to have you aboard.
Well, are we aboard?
It's like a flying madhouse.
Are we actually flying?
Is the question I haven't checked recently.
I mean, I don't know what what the
pilot's doing up there, but it's flying on
autopilot.
I hope it's an automatic pilot because I
have no humans.
I thought you were flying it.
I think I was at one point.
So you just finished up the complete world
tour.
Yeah, just 13 months.
We're doing these two shows in Moscow and
we're up for about a month or so.
And it's all right.
And we call it, you know.
I understand Pete Tam is in one of
the back closets in a Samford booth.
Ozzy, we're going to we're going to take
a look at breaking all the rules.
Anything you want to say about the video?
Oh, it was a lot of fun making
it.
Yes, yes.
In-depth questions during this interview.
Ozzy, was it fun making the video, Ozzy?
I had every single rock radio station in
America call me yesterday.
Hey, man, hey, you work with Ozzy, right?
What was he really like?
Oh, man, we had such good times together.
But then then, oh, no, we have Hulk
Hogan.
Seventy one is definitely too early.
And I was able to retrieve from 1993
the infamous rocket car of death during Circus
of the Stars as Hulk Hogan and Adam
Curry worked together and loved each other's work.
Big fans.
Big fans.
Hi, I'm Hulk Hogan here at Universal Studios
Florida, where Adam Curry thought he was taking
a break from music videos.
However, we're putting him right back into MTV.
And that stands for mucho terrifying vehicle.
Yeah, he'll take the ride of his life
in a 600 pound rocket car traveling at
roller coaster speed.
He'll be catapulted into space, dropping 50 feet
on his way to a fiery, frightening crash
landing.
Are you ready, Rocket Man?
Mucho terrifying.
OK, everybody, let's begin to count down.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.
He's giving
us a signal he's OK.
Adam, how'd you like to see what we
just saw you do in slow motion, dude?
Oh, yeah, let's take a look at it,
right?
Oh, what a ride that was.
That fire was so hot.
Oh, that's why I got the headache, bro.
Man, MTV's mucho, terrific, wonderful Adam Curry.
And there'll be more circus fun coming up
right after this, right after these messages.
You got roller coaster speeds.
Yeah, well, yeah, it was it was roller
coaster.
Roller coasters average about 45 miles an hour.
It's very terrifying, John.
In my rocket car of death.
You should post that video.
It's on YouTube.
No, it's on the YouTubes.
Yeah, 1993 Circus of the Stars with my
co-host, Deirdre Hall.
Boy, I've come a long way.
Yeah, have you kept in touch?
Have I kept in touch?
At least Hulk Hogan will go to heaven.
We know that.
That's a good, I don't know about Ozzie.
You know, those rock guys, I wonder if
they weren't very faithful.
He was always wearing crucifixes.
People can, you know, people think that just
because.
I don't know.
Anyway, that is our In Memoriam segment for
today's No Agenda show.
No Agenda, not one of the top 100
most influential podcasts, according to Time Magazine, in
history.
There's not 10.
10 what?
There's not 10.
I'd say if you named 10 influentials, it's
not that easy for me to say.
Influential podcasts.
There's not really 10.
Well, they didn't have.
Let alone 100, and the fact that we're
not on the list of 100 shows that
they don't know what they're talking about.
This is just one of those lists.
I've talked about it before.
You're an editor.
You had a magazine.
Here we go.
You just sit around during lunch and you
just throw names out there.
They didn't have Joe Rogan on the list.
What?
No, that's not true.
Yes, it's true.
It's true.
Wait, so they named 100 most influential.
Well, actually, no, no, I'm sorry.
100 best podcasts of all time.
Let me hear.
The most innovative, influential, and informative listens in
the history of the medium.
These podcasts reflect.
Oh, wait, stop, stop, stop.
They called you obviously to get some input,
right?
I'm looking at my voicemail.
No.
These podcasts reflect the depth, breadth, and possibility
of the medium at its best.
And they do have a whole page on
how they chose them.
Ha, ha, ha, with lies.
Ha, ha, ha, with lies.
I can assure you.
Well, the thing is, like, no agenda show
transcends all this.
The top 100 best podcasts of all time,
that's below us.
We are the best podcast in the universe.
So, you know, no wonder.
Well, since you have this list in front
of you, I didn't even know this was
going on, of course.
Mm-hmm.
Please read the list.
Oh, okay.
Or at least the top 10.
Well, what they did is they have it,
well, they have, okay, all.
All right, the top 10.
Let's see.
All.
Top 10.
Okay, at the top of the list, so
they have it by category, all comedy and
fiction, sports.
I'm going to click all.
Okay.
The first one, I don't know if it's
a number ranking.
The first one is- What is it,
just a pile of podcasts?
A pile of- There's a show title.
A pile of podcasts.
That's a- A pile of podcasts.
That should be our list.
Here, before you play that, play my clip
on podcasting.
Oh, wait.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
I didn't even see your clip on podcasting.
The, in the UK, that one?
Yeah, podcasts in the UK.
Oh, mate.
I found out what's been causing all the
noise.
It's not good news, I'm afraid.
It's not an infestation, is it?
You've got podcasters, mate.
I've got podcasters?
Who cares about New Beatles music?
Like, do you know what I mean?
Podcasters.
Yeah, well, Nick Carstens-Bellendi.
Technical Latin?
Yeah, nasty.
Scatter, scatter!
What is this?
If only it was just them.
They swarm.
Look.
It is like you cannot say anything.
Jesus Christ, they're everywhere.
What am I listening to?
You're listening to two guys who have discovered
that there's podcasters under the- everywhere in
the UK.
And they're infestation- It's an infestation.
I've been in London, I mean, you're never
more than 10 feet away from a podcaster.
Oh, don't tell me that.
That freaks me out.
But how do you get rid of them?
Have you got some kind of chemical you
can use to exterminate them?
No, you can't kill them, mate.
That's murder.
Is it?
Technically, they're humans.
And if you were a murderer, then you
get the true crime podcasters in and they're
bloody tricky to shift.
But how do I get rid of them
then?
I mean, what do we use?
The thing that podcasters fear the most.
What's that?
So the Achilles heel of a podcaster is
hard work.
You show them a bit of hard work,
they'll freak out.
Yeah.
Or just spray them with water.
Sometimes that does the trick.
What?
Bro!
What is killing me, bro?
All right, back to the list.
We could have done without that, I think.
It might've looked better on your TikTok video.
It did.
It did, yes.
So the top of the list, just clicking
the all category, is the inimitable two dope
queens.
I'm sorry, what?
Two dope- I want you to read
from the list.
I don't know what you're talking about.
This is the top one on the list.
The podcast- The top podcast, according to
Time Magazine, is two dope queen?
Queens.
This is the number one on the list.
They don't have it by number, they just
have them in order.
So two dope queens is the number one
you see on their top 100 best podcasts
of all time.
Have you ever listened to this podcast?
No, it's from WNYC Studios in New York,
so that means quality.
The second one I see on the list
is 3430.
Now, surely you've heard this podcast.
It's in a critically acclaimed ESPN documentary series.
No?
The next one is- No, and I
watch ESPN, I never heard of it.
99% invisible.
Now, you've heard of that one.
No, it's 3430 to 3430?
Yes, 3430.
Oh yeah, they do, that's actually a TV
show.
Oh, okay.
99%- It's not a podcast.
99% invisible is the next one I
see on the list.
I've heard of that.
The next one is Acquired.
Every company has a story, and this is
brought to you by- Ooh, that should
be really, that should be a grabber.
Brought to you by JP Morgan Investments.
Nothing, yeah, I can see that one being
top.
Anyway, I think you get the idea.
No, I mean, there's more.
I mean, okay, the next one is Armchair
Expert.
That's Dax Shepard, he's quite famous.
He has celebrity guests on, like Brad Pitt
and Prince Harry.
And then Articles of Interest follows that.
I've never heard of that one.
Bear Brook, a true crime story is next
on the list.
It's about time.
Anyway, my ex timeline is quite hilarious.
Dude, you got robbed.
You got robbed.
Yeah.
You got robbed, man.
The money they gave these podcasts to be
on the list is outrageous.
Well, it's funny you bring that up because
I caught a story this morning.
Hold on a second.
About, well, not really about podcasters, but more
about YouTube channels.
This was quite- And people buying them
off?
Yeah, no, listen to this.
If you spend long enough on YouTube, there's
now a very good chance that a substantial
share of your watch time is going to
channels partially or fully owned by private equity.
Major firms operating in this space have raised
billions of dollars collectively from companies like SoftBank,
Amazon, Disney, Goldman Sachs, and Blackstone.
And they are using that money to acquire
YouTube channels as strategic investments.
Some of these names should be familiar to
you.
Task and Purpose, Veritasium, Donut Media, Simple History,
Fern, Fireship, Economics Explained, Mentor, Pilot, Futurism, Astrum,
The Drive, and History Hits have all publicly
been acquired by private equity.
Outside of the nerd corner of YouTube, some
of the biggest names in the space, including
Cocomelon, Colin and Samir, The Theorist, and Dude
Perfect, have also all partially or completely been
acquired.
Well, I think we're next.
There's our exit strategy, private equity.
That's the way to go.
I'm surprised Shoe on Head isn't on the
list.
You know what they're going to do?
Like all private equity, they'd come in, they'd
buy us.
Yeah, wreck it.
They'd buy us.
Then they'd sell off the parts.
You'd be sold off to China.
I don't know where I'd go.
They'll sell off the parts of it.
And then before you know it, it'll be
like, no agenda with Darren O'Neill.
It's Darren and Larry here, everybody.
Yep, we're advisors to this private equity fund.
Then guess what?
Here we are.
Pretty amazing.
Not quite as amazing as what is in
future.
I'm on a roll here.
What is in future store for podcasters who
think they can say anything?
This is, of course, referring to the lawsuits
against Candace Owens.
Yeah.
Filed by Emanuel and Bob- The McCrone
brothers.
Emanuel and Bob McCrone.
Look at that, the McCrone brothers.
You stole my punchline.
That's better than the one I had.
Jake Tapper talks to the lawyer leading the
suit.
This is actually mildly interesting.
The lawsuit claims that this has been a
year-long campaign by Candace Owens.
Why are the McCrones suing now?
Like, what changed?
Why sue now?
Why now?
Well, this was really a last resort.
We have intended to engage with her for
the last year, putting evidence in front of
her- Evidence.
Request after request of Candace Owens.
She just simply do the right thing.
This is not- Do it.
This is not a legal thing.
Do the right thing.
Tell the truth.
Stop spreading these lies.
And each time we've done that, she mocked
the McCrones.
She mocked our efforts to set the records
straight.
She refused to retract what she had said.
She started a merch campaign.
She's selling t-shirts mocking and celebrating her
defamation of them.
And enough is enough.
It was time to hold her accountable for
this campaign.
So your lawsuit alleges, quote, every time the
McCrones leave their home, they do so knowing
that countless people have heard and many believe
these vile fabrications.
It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust.
Some people out there might think, really, the
first couple of France can't leave their home
in France?
Oh, no.
Without worrying that people- In France, of
all people, the gayest of all countries.
People believe the deranged nonsense from this American
podcaster?
Yeah, what people don't really understand- Wait,
hold on a second.
Who does Tapper think he is here?
What kind of reporting is that?
It's great reporting.
Come on, this is the stuff we live
for.
A deranged podcaster.
Exactly.
Really, the first couple of France can't leave
their home in France without worrying that people
believe the deranged nonsense from this American podcaster?
Yeah, what people don't really understand, and a
lot of people can go on TV and
talk about the president, talk about the first
lady.
Pundits can get on and talk about them,
but what people forget is these are human
beings.
These are a married couple.
They have a social life.
They have a private life together.
They have the same feelings and the same
hurt from these sorts of defamatory statements as
anybody would, and it does have a material
impact on them.
It's incredibly upsetting to have this said year
after year, and this sort of falsehood is
a cancer, and it metastasizes into, obviously, the
media, but it also metastasizes into other circles
that they're running, and they get asked about
it, of course, even in the circles that
they run in.
They get asked about these campaigns, and they
shouldn't have to go through that.
Hey, can I ask you, Brigitte, can I
ask you about this campaign?
Can you show me?
Do you have a Rudd?
Is it Rudd or no Rudd?
Tell us what's going on.
Now, there is some wisdom in here, and
we have been very careful, you in particular,
because there are certain things that just aren't
protected under free speech in the United States.
After we put facts and information in front
of her, black and white, multiple times.
What, like the First Lady's birth certificate?
Like, what kind of facts?
No, we know what we want, and we
know the way you can prove it is
real simple.
Like, what kind of facts?
Yeah, we have laid out extensive evidence in
our complaint demonstrating that she was born a
woman, she's always been a woman, and the
allegations of CIA control conspiracy and incest and
all the other things.
Candace did go pretty far with the MKUltra
stuff.
Are demonstrably false.
Putting aside the fact that they are all
inherently implausible, what you said at the outset
is obviously really important.
In our system, if you're making an inherently
implausible allegation, the standard is higher.
You have to come forward with better evidence
if you're gonna say it.
She has none of it.
All she's done is mocked them and ridiculed
them and repeated it.
Yeah, and of course, this now hits home
as well, because you know you gotta be
careful what you say about Big Mike.
There are a bunch of these hate mongers
out there that have been saying the same
thing about Michelle Obama, the former first lady
of the United States.
Do you think she should sue?
Well, I haven't looked at her claim, but
I believe that everybody has a right to
their reputation and I think our Constitution makes
that very clear.
Defamation is not protected by the First Amendment
and if it's impacting Michelle Obama or anybody
else, they have a right to access our
court system and have a trial.
In our system, that's the way we determine
truth or falsity.
We do it in court, we do it
with rules, we do it with legal standards
and it's a place where evidence matters and
that's why we've taken Candace to court where
we can actually have a trial on the
truth.
She's doubling down on this, which is pretty
amazing.
Well, there's one reason she's doubling down, which
I'm sure Tapper didn't mention.
Ratings, viewers, money.
Two court cases in France.
They sued two different journalists and they lost.
Oh, did they now?
Yeah.
Was it on the same grounds?
Pretty much, but again, the way they handled
defamation in France may be different and you
have to ask yourself, how is this defamation?
Well, it's mean.
It's definitely mean.
It's mean.
Well, I mean, the same way that Alex
Jones defamed the parents of Sandy Hook and
this is actually the guy who did that
case.
You're asking for punitive damages.
How much money do you want and do
you want her to- Oh, wait, no,
I think he was the, he wasn't Alex.
He was the Fox News Dominion Voting Machine
case.
To apologize.
Well, we'd love an apology, of course.
A court can't order her to apologize and
based on her conduct, especially today, we don't
expect her to do anything other than double
down.
We'll put forward our damage claim at trial,
but if she continues to double down between
now and the time of trial, it'll be
a substantial award.
Well, can you give me an idea?
Are we talking about, I mean, the last
time you were involved in something, the settlement
was $787.5 million.
That was Fox News for their many, many
lies.
Fox News!
About Dominion software.
Fox News.
But are you looking for that kind of
settlement?
She doesn't have $787.5 million.
Well, you look at what happened with Alex
Jones and there are, juries understand.
Juries understand that there is an inherently large
value to somebody's reputation and if you're gonna
say these vile things and if you're gonna
repeat them to a significant audience, as she
has.
She has over 5 million followers and her
lies have metastasized into actual publications.
So we see other publications that pick up
on it and they report on it and
when you ask them, when we reached out
to them and say, what's your basis for
this?
They point back to her.
Yeah, Candace Owens.
The voice of truth.
Well, I'm sure she also got the material
from the French journalists.
Yes, I think she got a lot of
it.
She's not gonna dream this up out of
the blue.
I think she got a lot of it
from the French cases, yeah.
And so she's just, you know.
But even just being sued.
And they just throw it back at them.
Yeah, but even being sued is a costly
affair.
It's annoying.
Yeah, but it depends on the value of
the publicity.
Well, how do you determine that value?
Well, I'm not interested in being sued, so
I don't care.
But can we now sue listeners?
It's also a pain in the ass.
Hey, can we sue listeners over defamation?
We should.
You suck.
I'm suing you.
We've got your troll name.
We'll find you.
We'll hunt you down.
Yeah.
Well, nothing is as funny as that.
Troll name.
Yes, the defendant goes by troll name, Blue
Deuce 33.
Blue Deuce.
33, get it right.
It's not just any old Blue Deuce.
Nothing was funnier this week.
It was a lot of funny.
Nothing was funnier than President Trump's statement on
drug prices.
This is amazing.
I mean, you love percentages.
Get a load of this.
It'll be numbers that nobody can even imagine.
We're gonna get the drug prices down, not
30 or 40%, which would be great.
Not 50 or 60, no.
We're gonna get them down 1,000%, 600%.
500%, 1,500%.
Numbers that are not even thought to be
achievable because they're not.
Because they're not.
I used a certain talent that I have.
It's 1,000%.
They're gonna pay you.
That's what's happening here, ladies and gentlemen.
They're gonna pay you to get swelling between
your genitals and your anus.
Yeah, 1,000%.
You drop, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's pretty silly.
That's great.
It's fantastic.
It's pretty.
It's fantastic.
We joke about that, but you remember that,
I can't remember the name of the drug
that we had on the past show.
I don't know what drug, what did you
take?
No, it's not what I took.
With the swelling taint as one of the
side effects, a dangerous swelling of the taint.
Oh, that's the, you played the clip.
It was the after the side effects clip.
Yeah, but that seems to be a thing
now with all drugs.
Listen to this Jardians commercial.
I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage
it well.
It's a little pill with a big story
to tell.
You're gonna swell, swell.
I'm A1C, Jardians.
At each day start, it was easy to
see.
Ba da da dum.
I'm lowering my A1C.
And for adults with type 2 diabetes and
known heart disease, Jardians can lower the risk
of cardiovascular death too.
Serious side effects include increased ketones in blood
or urine, which can be fatal.
Stop Jardians and call your doctor right away.
If you have nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness,
trouble breathing, or increased ketones, Jardians may cause
dehydration that can suddenly worsen kidney function and
make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or weak on
standing.
Genital yeast infections in men and women, urinary
tract infections, low blood sugar, or a rare
life-threatening bacterial infection between and around the
anus and genitals can occur.
Hmm, I need to get me something.
This is not good.
My favorite one is the swelling of the
tongue.
Call your doctor immediately.
Call your doctor.
And you know what the doctor?
Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man.
We're living in a crazy world, crazy world.
So I have a series of clips I
want to get out of the way.
Okay.
Because these are the clips from the Jimmy
Kimmel show, and this is surprising to me.
Wait a minute, you're watching, you are one
of the people watching the Jimmy Kimmel show?
I did in this case, and I continue
to watch because Kimmel seems to have disappeared
and he went to do Who Wants to
Be a Millionaire, and I don't think he's
going to do the show anymore.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
He's not been on the show?
No.
For how long?
I don't know how long it's been, but
this is pretty bad when you don't show
up on your own show and no one
notices.
Well, no one's noticed a couple of things,
and it really surprises me because I think
Fox would be all over this because Alan
Cummings came on, gay as hell.
Wait a minute, who is Alan Cummings?
Alan Cummings is the guy who's in a
lot of movies.
He plays straight characters, but he's been in
movies.
If you took a look at his picture,
just look him up, Alan Cummings, you'll recognize
him immediately.
Oh, I know him.
Wasn't he in James Bond Villain?
In The Good Wife, I think he was
in that.
Wasn't he a James Bond villain?
He was, he played the maniac that has
something to do with GoldenEye.
He's a comedian, I didn't realize.
Well, he's not.
Oh, okay, hence he's hosting the show, makes
nothing but sense.
I think maybe he thinks he's a comedian,
but so he comes out, he's dressed as
the gayest flamer you can imagine, and I
use that term advisedly, and he lectures, and
he scolds the audience for one thing or
another, but this was, went on, I have
short clips, they're all, because I had to
cut them down because there was so much
hooting and hollering that the audience was so
jacked.
You've got eight of them?
Yeah, but they're all, the timing, look at
the time.
Oh, okay.
Except for one.
All right, all right.
15 seconds, 10 seconds.
Oh, okay, all right, good, good.
And they're short because they're also worth commenting
on each one.
He comes out and just rails against Trump,
rails against everything, he represents the Democratic Party,
goes on and on about how queers should
be respected more, and on and on and
on, it was horrible.
And nobody at Fox picked this up, noticing
that Kimmel went to do, who wants to
be a millionaire, that's what he's the host
of now, and then the next day, this
lesbian becomes the host.
Of who wants to be a millionaire?
No, of Kimmel, of the Kimmel show.
Kimmel's on who wants to be a millionaire,
that's where he's gone.
You said the next day this lesbian becomes
the host?
Yeah, the next day the lesbian comes on
the Kimmel show to do her thing, and
she's actually, and she comes out as, she's
a diesel dyke, to use the term advisedly.
And she comes out in a man's suit,
and she looks a little like a Comini,
I think is his name, the Irish actor
with the curly hair, looks almost identical to
him.
She has kind of a masculine voice, and
she does her couple of lesbian jokes, but
she's actually good as a host.
She could take over the show, and I
think it would be fine, because it would
be a real twist.
But this is Disney, this is the Disney
corporation telling Trump to screw himself, and this
ABC and Disney telling Trump to get screwed,
and listen to this Cummings clips, here we
go.
Good evening, America.
I am Alan Cumming, your traitorous host for
the evening.
And also the first person to host Jimmy
Kimmel Live, who has never actually appeared on
the show as a guest.
I know, it's weird, right?
Is he Irish, is that his gig here,
he's Irish?
He's Scottish.
Scottish, sorry.
And the giveaway is that he's never appeared
on the show.
They drug him up saying, look, who can
we get the most insulting guy we can
to scold the audience, scold the Trump administration.
Okay.
They never asked me.
I feel now that I am a bit
like the best man's speech at a wedding,
and I have not been invited to the
actual wedding, but I will gladly shag the
bridesmaids and the groomsmen.
I'll be here all night.
Now, anyway, America, how are you doing?
How are you doing?
I mean, how are you doing aside from
being a country that's just reintroduced concentration camps,
taken healthcare away from 17 million people to
give billionaires a tax cut, and also to
finance an armed militia of masked men that
commits heinous, assorted kidnapping and crimes against humanity
on a daily basis.
Aside from all that, are you okay?
Lies, I tell you, lies.
Oh, that's, so far, that's, I mean, as
long as you have some humor, it's kind
of funny.
Well, what's humorous about it?
Ah, he's just busting.
That's for sure.
Okay, well, let's go on.
Let's get a little raunchier.
I'm talking of masked men.
We have the Fantastic Four with us tonight.
The Fantastic Four don't wear masks.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yes.
The Fantastic Four are not ashamed to show
their faces at work because they're trying to
do good in the world.
Okay, pathetic dig at ice.
All right, okay, all right, so far.
Onward.
Yeah.
I think I may be the first person
ever to have played Macbeth, Hamlet, and Romeo
to have hosted this show.
I think I must also be the first
ever Bond villain to host this show.
There he is, Bond villain.
I am invincible.
And also because of my appearance in the
original series of The L Word many years
ago, I am certain that I am the
first person to ever host this or actually
any late night talk show who's been f*****
by a lesbian with a strap on.
Woo, yeah, woo, yeah, we all want that.
More pegging on the show, please.
Yes, okay, you're going downhill.
Better pull up on this.
Yes, no, it's getting better.
I know you didn't hear that at home,
America.
Read my lips.
And don't knock until you've tried it, all
right?
Ironically, a rim shot, thank you.
Okay, come on, that was funny.
I'll give him that, that was funny.
A rim shot, thank you.
Guillermo knows what I'm talking about.
Don't you, Guillermo?
Yeah, a little bit, yeah.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Just a tip.
Well, this is very typical Hollywood, doesn't surprise
me.
That's all they ever think of.
Does he have any pedo jokes in here?
Not that I recall.
He, the fact that he did this, this
is pretty, considering this is Disney, I think
it's fairly lewd.
Tonight's show is all about superheroes.
Not only are the Fantastic Four here, as
I said, some of you may remember me
as Nightcrawler from the X-Men franchise.
So it's, these superhero movies are only pretend,
but I happen to believe that there are
actual superheroes in real life who walk among
us.
And these superheroes are called trans people.
Give them a cape.
Because.
Wow.
Just like superheroes, trans people are born with
something special and magical about them, and they
often have to hide what's special and magical
about them from other people.
Like superheroes, they grew up in a society
that doesn't understand them, that makes them the
other and often hates them.
Like superheroes, trans people just want the world
to be a safer place.
And they believe we should protect each other
and live our lives in peace.
Like superheroes, evil billionaires want to get rid
of trans people for no reason whatsoever.
And just like superheroes, trans people are not
new.
They've been around forever, and they're not going
anywhere, no matter how much this administration tries
to make you fear them.
Yes!
Wow.
That's kind of unhinged.
Funny yet?
No, not funny.
No, it's just like, okay, you're trying to
get some laughs and some applause over trans
people.
Well, they get the applause sign going on
and off the screen.
Obviously, obviously.
But the audience is appreciative.
Well, they stood in line for two hours
for free tickets.
They'll clap and cheer for anything.
Okay, on next one.
There is no evidence that trans people are
a threat to women.
That is, however, ample evidence that the president
of the United States publicly brags about barging
into beauty pageant dressing rooms and grabbing women
by their...
Wake up, America!
Wake up, America!
And go home.
He's so brave.
He's so brave.
You were so good.
You were so brave.
Speaking truth to power is fabulous.
There is no evidence that trans people are
a threat.
I'm sorry, number eight.
This is, did I get them all?
Was that, did I get number six?
Did you do seven?
I think I missed six.
Let me see.
There is no evidence.
That's six.
Yes, seven's up.
Seven.
Millions of Americans are obsessed with this idea
that trans people are attacking women in bathrooms.
Do you know what trans people do in
the bathroom?
They poop and they pee.
And I'm sure they always wash their hands
afterwards.
And why on earth, this is what gets
me, why on earth would a rapist go
to the border pretending to be trans in
a country that actually treats rapists better than
trans people?
What?
I didn't understand that one.
Why would a rapist, which would be a
trans, you know, that happened in Virginia, I
think, where the, you know, trans supposed to
be a rapist, became a big fuss in
some city council meeting.
I must have missed this.
And he's saying, why would a rapist do
this?
It doesn't make any sense to him.
And especially in a country where rapists are
treated better than trans people.
Oh, I gotcha.
Now, this is depressing.
This is the last legs of late night.
Yeah, it really is.
Yeah, what else do you think?
Number eight sounded like a lot like number
six.
How dare this president make random, unfounded accusations
of sexual criminality against trans people when he
was literally ordered to pay $83 million to
a woman who accused him of sexual assault.
It's the pot calling the kettle black after
trying to grab its handle in the changing
room of a TJ Maxx.
We spent hours in the writer's room on
that one.
Trans people are far more likely to be
victims of sexual assault or violence than be
the perpetrators.
Now, I know that some of you don't
want to look at trans people, but please,
America, at least force yourself to look at
the facts.
There is no epidemic of attacks being committed
by trans people.
But do you know how many people are
killed every year by gun violence in this
country?
Over 46,000.
And you're worried about pronouns.
Everyone in this country's pronouns should be gun
and control.
Oh, okay.
Most of those are suicide, and it's probably
after watching that monologue.
Ha ha!
Well.
My goodness.
Well, that's depressing.
And this was not picked up by Fox
at all or anybody.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I don't care.
I mean, by Gutfeld specifically is what you're
saying.
You expected Gutfeld to do a bit on
this.
Well, I would think Gutfeld would have done
a bit on it.
That's shooting inside the tent, man.
He's part of the late night brotherhood.
It must be.
So, the one I wanted is Fortune Femster,
which I have down as Gortchen.
I spelled Fortune with a G.
Yes.
You can go find that clip.
Yeah, I got it.
This is the next night, and she comes
out.
Now, she's actually pretty decent.
Oh, this is the Diesel Dyke you were
talking about?
This is the Diesel Dyke who comes out.
And here's her opening, so we get a
clue what's going on at Disney.
Welcome to Jimmy Kimmel Live!
I'm your guest host, Fortune Femster!
And to answer the question on all your
minds, yes, I do have a softball game
after this.
I am so excited to be hosting the
show.
I will be here for the next three
nights.
At least I think I will.
This morning, the President of the United States
posted, the word is, and it's a strong
word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is next to
go in the untalented late night sweepstakes.
Well, I'm just wondering, if the President cancels
his show, does the guest host still get
paid?
No, I don't know.
Do you know Guillermo?
I know I'm getting paid, I don't know
about you.
All right, don't rub it in.
Maybe.
And am I in trouble if Jimmy's show
gets canceled while I'm hosting?
Hey, thanks for letting me cancel your show,
Oh, also, your cat's dead.
And just a little fact check, Jimmy Kimmel
is not the next to go.
Girl, he already went like a month ago.
He is doing streams at Six Flags right
now.
Just wait until the President finds out that
Jimmy hired a substitute lesbian.
Yeah, you know, it makes no sense that
he wouldn't be on the show during this
time.
I think the word came down.
Came down.
That the show's over.
Hmm.
And so they said, well, okay, if it's
over, how much time do we have left?
We're gonna give you another month.
Okay, well, I'm gonna put every offensive person
I can as a co-host, as a
substitute host, and I think it's gonna continue
for the next week or two.
There's gonna be, I mean, she'll do three
shows.
She's good, though.
She's actually, her material did not stay on
Trump.
It became kind of generalized.
She's a real standup.
She's not like Alan Cumming, who is an
actor.
He's not a funny guy at all.
And she actually could do this show.
I think it would actually increase the ratings.
Here's an overview of the late night situation.
With his show canceled next spring, Stephen Colbert
says the gloves are coming off towards President
Trump.
I don't care for him.
Laughter for that, but then stronger language.
Go f**k yourself.
That got a roar from his audience.
Among those who dropped by in solidarity, talk
show rivals Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, plus
John Oliver and Jon Stewart.
On his own show, Stewart questioned whether the
cancellation was for purely financial reasons.
Was this purely financial?
Stewart says liberal institutions are under assault, in
some cases, caving in.
He noted Columbia University changed policies under pressure
from Trump.
Public broadcasting saw funding slashed by Congress also
to please Trump.
Disney, the parent company of ABC, and Paramount,
the parent of CBS, have settled lawsuits filed
by Trump.
Trump believes he has immunity as long as
he remains a petty tyrant, demanding only liberal
institutions surrender to his whims.
Canadian-American political commentator David Frum wrote recently,
the information landscape is being reshaped and Trump
is abusing the powers of the state to
hasten the reshaping in ways favorable to him.
There is resistance among protesters outside Colbert's theater.
To stand up and to refuse to accept
the censorship of voices of dissent.
He's got a year and hopefully he'll burn
Trump to the ground by then.
Colbert hints he's not done yet.
They made one mistake.
They left me alive.
You know, it's over.
It's over because this is just the end
of the boomer era.
And I had an experience yesterday where I
witnessed that myself.
I did a talk at the Patriot Academy
here in Fredericksburg.
And the Patriot was actually very cool.
They educate young people.
I think the oldest is probably 25, how
to be white Christian nationalist militia.
There you go.
There you go.
And you know, so what are you gonna
do when you do a talk, right?
You talk about stuff you know about, which
is my life.
I gotta tell you, John, every single reference
I had to anybody, including Stephen Colbert, went
over their heads.
Over their heads.
Elvis, Elvis.
They didn't even know who Elvis was.
Wow.
Yeah.
I was thinking of referencing Spanky and Our
Gang on the show.
No, no, and so in a way, podcasting
is fantastic because we can still find the
stray boomers out there.
They're out there.
And the elderly gen-xers.
I mean, literally the kids come up like,
hey, my dad loves you.
My mom loves you.
Yeah, that's the humiliating part of it.
Although I did get two beautiful ones.
Hey, I love your vanity call sign, but
you're just a general.
I'm an extra.
There were a couple of ham kids there.
That was nice.
Yeah, extra.
A kid who wasn't extra.
Telling you to screw yourself.
Extra.
Yeah, it was quite humbling.
Of course, you know, they were born just
around the time podcasting came into existence.
They never saw videos on MTV.
They were polite and attentive, but I just
saw it.
It's like, wow.
They have no clue.
Rogan.
Yeah, that's, you're the guy from Rogan.
Okay.
And even that was barely, barely, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's about right.
Yeah, so I think I've entered boomerdom, whether
I like it or not.
You dragged me in kicking and screaming.
You labeled me.
You didn't have a choice.
You labeled me a boomer.
You were a boomer basically by the year
you were born.
It's got nothing to do with me.
All my boomer friends, like Ozzy and Hulk.
All my boomer friends are dying.
Dolly Parton song.
All my boomer friends.
Oh, man.
Well, the late night thing is over.
Yeah.
And these are just last gasps.
They're kind of amusing.
They don't have an audience at all.
I mean, like I said before, Carson had
average 17 million and got up to as
high as 45 million.
And these guys are getting one or two
million and they're wondering why they're, oh, and
they're singing the blues.
And even that segment that they'd mentioned that
last clip of yours where they said that
all these people were in the audience that
came to support Colbert.
Those are all pre-taped.
It was bull crap.
There was nobody famous in the audience.
Oh, no, I know.
That was taped in totally different locations even.
Yeah, it doesn't even look like the right,
yeah, the whole thing was lit weird and
the whole thing is phony, it's fake.
Yes, fake, fake and gay.
It's fake and gay.
And G-H-E-Y for all of
our LG.
But the way this is headed, and Kimmel's
next and then Fallon may, they may keep
it on.
NBC's diehards, they're the ones that invented the
format back in 1953 or 1954, one of
the two.
And it's been essentially, it's peak.
It's long gone.
It's no good anymore.
It's over.
It's over.
They just can't seem to get the body.
But that's not what's really happening.
What's happening is the president is using his
power, the power of the office of the
president of the United States to silence critics
and to shut down the media, even the
Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, the White House says it will remove
the Wall Street Journal from the small group
of reporters who will be traveling with President
Trump on his trip to Scotland later this
month.
The president is suing the paper over a
report that he gave Epstein a suggestive birthday
letter more than 20 years ago.
They should have Cummings there in Scotland to
welcome him.
Cummings, Cummings.
Cummings, he's the only Cummings, he's not Cummings,
yeah.
Well, that leads us into, we have-
This is like, it's what you do.
If you're the president, all the presidents have
done this.
They ban one guy or another.
You know, it's like, it's a privilege to
get on the plane and get a free
ride.
You can go over there yourself.
Yeah.
Wall Street Journal's not gonna pick up the
tab on that.
No, no.
How about Lenny Bruce?
Lenny Bruce got, they threw him in jail.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah.
More than once, and mostly for his act
in San Francisco.
San Francisco's the one that really threw him
in jail.
Yeah, the most liberal place you'd expect it
not to happen.
So we're just being inundated.
Tulsi Gabbard, who I do think is brave
for what she's doing, but she has no
game.
She's not explaining it right.
She's not accusing properly.
No, you know, I have to play Bannon's
clip.
Bannon's clip, hold on a second.
Bannon's.
Because he talks about this.
Do I have it?
Oh, I see, Brennan.
No, you know, Gabbard, it says Bannon.
Oh, Gabbard, Bannon, take.
I have two clips.
Are they the same?
No, no.
One is two minutes and 32 seconds, and
one is 1.15, but it looks like
the 2.32 didn't get cut off where
it was supposed to.
Yeah, because I don't go 2.32. People
out there who send us clips, clips max
should be 1.59. Yeah, no, 1.30,
1.30 is my max.
I'm trying to keep it 1.30. I
try to keep them under a minute, but
I will go 1.15. Good luck, so
which one do you want me to play?
Well, let's play, this is the, we'll play
the long form, and then we can cut
it off.
The other day, the half-baked story where
they dropped it because Tulsi was really-
Wait, you don't want it there.
You want the beginning.
Hold on, let's do this.
Another historic day in the briefing room, and
this is so smart because they're forced to
sit there and cover it.
Caitlin Collins and all those smug people are
forced to sit there and hear Tulsi Gabbard,
and that was a command performance today.
Her performance has up to now been amazing.
President Trump, you heard last night, we played
it on the morning show about talking to
the members of Congress.
It was a command performance, and she's got
command presence.
She's unflappable, and she's just giving you fact
after fact after fact, and to call it
a- How about, why not arrest somebody?
I'm so tired of, here are the facts.
We're gonna definitely get into that, but to
listen to Bannon go on and on, I
watched, I couldn't even get through it.
She's so dull.
Coup from the White House press briefing room.
Now we've had it from the Oval Office,
from the President and the Director of DNI.
A treasonous conspiracy.
Treasonous!
And using, and calling out Obama by name,
calling out Brennan by name, calling out Comey
by name.
By name!
The stakes don't get any higher, folks.
I hope you understand that this is, and
Obama denying it, coming out denying it, and
all day, you should see the meltdown on
MSNBC.
All afternoon with Weissman and these folks.
In the Wall Street Journal, in the Murdoch's,
as I have warned for years, are true
enemies of this movement, true enemies of MAGA,
true enemies of the United States, and particularly
true enemies of President Trump.
Well, as we have said for years, they're
Democrats, they're run by Democrats.
You mostly.
Yeah, it's run by, we know that, that's
not a surprise.
And oh, even if it's true, he drew
a picture.
Oh, okay.
He's mentioned, yeah, so is Eric Weinstein.
This is, it's so disappointing.
Everything is just a disappointment.
Everything.
Everything.
Well, yes.
Where's the arrest?
Arrest somebody.
You know, we've been doing this show long
enough, and you know, I was a former
Republican, I was a former Democrat, I'm unaffiliated,
for good reason.
You were a former woman.
No, I didn't get that far.
Close.
But, no, not really.
But the, I never got a shape, that's
the problem.
The whole thing.
Your feet are too big, I think that's
the problem.
That's it, my feet are too, feet are
way too big.
Too wide, yeah.
Is the, the Republicans are, it's the old
rule, they're do-nothings.
Yeah.
That's the do-nothing party.
Yack, yack, yack.
I have a, let me play this clip.
Well, this is a clip.
There's another ban, do you want me to
play the other ban and take, or are
we done?
Because I'm good if we're done.
We'll play the other one, I think it's
the same clip.
I think it's the same.
Another historic day.
Oh, yeah, it's the same clip.
Yeah, same clip.
There is the bonus clip.
Well, you gotta tell me what it was,
because I just put it in, it didn't
say bonus on it.
Oh, it was the clip of, Brennan testifying
before Congress.
Oh, on the dossier.
This is a very short clip.
Yes.
Yeah.
Director Brennan, do you know who commissioned the
Steele dossier?
I don't.
Do you know if the Bureau ever relied
on the Steele dossier as any, as part
of any court filings, applications?
I have no awareness.
Did the CIA rely on it?
No.
Why not?
Because we didn't, it wasn't part of the
intelligence information that we had.
It was not in any way used as
a basis for the intelligence community assessment that
was done.
It was not.
No, that's a lie.
Whatever happens.
Okay, Jesse Watters show.
You're poaching from Jesse Watters again.
It was a good version of the clip.
This was Trey Gowdy who knew the answers
in advance of him asking to entrap him.
Yes.
And they have him on perjury because they
have the memos now showing that he knew
well all about it.
Throw him in irons.
They won't do anything.
In fact, Ryan Paul came on that same
Jesse Watters show and said, yeah, we've got
him cold.
There's no doubt about it.
Of all the people, in fact, there's a
odds list out there that's floating around.
I could bring it up on the screen
if you want to hear them, but they
have the odds of who's gonna get indicted.
And by the way, the odds are out
there for everything.
25 to one is like the odds that
Comey will get indicted.
He's at the top of the list.
But Brennan's number two at 25 to one.
Obama's way down.
He's down at 33 to one.
And the rest of them are all ridiculous.
The real guilty party here is the M5M
because they're the ones who have been complicit
with every hoax, every op.
I mean, everything's just, do you mind if
I play a supercut?
I'll tell you what, play the supercut right
after I play the other bonus clip, which
is the Gabbard on WAPO, which addresses exactly
what you said.
Question the American people's ability to trust the
integrity of our democratic republic.
And the reason why that is, and it's
similar to the deep state actors who have
been trying to stop us from releasing this,
is that we have members of the media
who were complicit in this from the very
beginning, who were leaked early copies of this,
or at least lines from this January 2017
Obama manufactured intelligence assessment.
They printed what they were fed, people like
Ellen Nakashima from the Washington Post, who by
the way, went on to win a Pulitzer
Prize because for years she was so good
at lying and not telling the truth to
the American people that they gave her an
award for it.
That's what, Tulsi should stay away from that.
See, that's her mistake.
She needs to be just, here's the facts,
here's what happened.
When she editorializes like that, it weakens her
argument like she's some pundit instead of the
director of national intelligence.
Yeah, that's a good point.
It's dumb.
And I like her, but it's dumb.
So here are the guilty.
These people are the guilty parties in all
of this and everything.
And luckily their power is diminishing.
They have to bow to the podcasters.
Votes were definitely affected.
Russia hacked the election to tilt it to
Mr. Trump.
The Russians definitively hacked the election.
Russia did hack the election.
No doubt, the Russians hacked the election.
Yes, Russia hacked the election.
Fact, Russia hacked the election.
President-elect Donald Trump still not sounding convinced
that Russia hacked the election.
The president does not want to come to
terms with the fact that the Russians hacked
the election.
President Trump says he still wonders if, if
the Russians hacked the election.
If you can get him to accept that
Russia hacked the election, see if you can
get him to accept who won the civil
war.
If he admits it, it casts a shadow
on his victory over Hillary Clinton.
Let's be clear, Russia hacked the election.
Definitively, Russia hacked the election and Russia is
doing it again now.
Election-related cyber hacking.
Cyber hacking of US elections.
Cyber hacking of the election.
Russia was cyber hacking the election.
Russia was cyber hacking the election.
The CIA, the FBI, NSA.
All of these intelligence organizations.
17 intelligence agencies all conclude that Russia hacked
the election.
If we find out that Donald Trump just
theoretically was colluding with Russia while they were
hacking the election, that is completely impeachable.
This dossier alleged a conspiracy between the Trump
campaign and the Russian effort to hack the
election.
The director of national intelligence, the head of
the national security agency, the head of the
FBI.
All of these intelligence experts saying Russia hacked
the election.
The FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the former
director of national intelligence, James Clapper.
I mean, they've all said this.
So to believe that that's wrong, you have
to believe they're all involved in an elaborate
conspiracy to get Donald Trump, which seems a
little far-fetched to me.
You notice how there's all these incredible viruses,
computer viruses.
SharePoint now is completely hacked.
You know, Snowflake, all of these things.
But the cable news networks never go down.
You know, someone should hack their election.
I'd love to walk into the studio one
morning and just see the quad being all
black.
Even anonymous, just put the anonymous guy in
the hoodie up there, anything.
These are the guilty people.
These are the people who are PSYOPing the
world, America, certainly.
And we're still good.
Yeah, you can hear all the names.
You heard Wolf, you heard Tapper, who blew
the line.
Colbert was in there.
Yeah, all of them.
Yeah.
All of them.
And meanwhile, we're not even the top 100
best and most influential podcasts of all time.
And nobody will be arrested.
But I should be arrested for that list.
I don't want a Pulitzer anymore either.
You can tell them no.
No, it's the Peabody that we're going for.
Oh, the Peabody.
By the way, producer Robert emailed President Trump
endorsing me for the Presidential Medal of Freedom
for being the founder of podcasting.
And he got a response.
With an auto pen.
Yes, dear Mr. Basso, thank you for your
letter and sharing your views.
Wow, that's sincere.
The strength of our country lies in the
spirit of the American people and their willingness
to stay informed and get involved.
I appreciate you taking the time to share
your thoughts.
For the latest information about my administration's policy
initiatives, visit the White House at whitehouse.gov.
Melania joins me in sending our best wishes
to you and your family.
Sincerely, President Trump.
So I guess I'm not on the list
for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
But things have gotten so bad here in
Fredericksburg.
Oh, here we go.
Because what happens when the news just spins
people up?
Because that's what it is.
I mean, you can't open Google News.
You can't turn on anything, can't look at
anything without all of this being thrown in
your face.
Slapping you in the face like a wet
salmon.
And so now- I got a note
from at least two Dutch listeners that say
that no one's ever said that in Holland.
Well, they're not Dutch.
They're fake Dutch.
It may be a mackerel now that I
think about it.
But I like salmon better.
So Tina had her women's Bible study this
morning.
And she comes home, she has to listen
to this.
And this kid, this was serious.
And they had videos to back it up.
In August, there will be five days of
darkness.
The country will shut down.
The internet will not work.
Everything will come to a grinding halt.
Five days of darkness in August.
Oh yeah, it's happening.
It's happening.
Yeah, it's happening.
I'm worried, sick.
And if you go online right now, you'll
see it.
You'll see people, oh yes, no, this is,
it's happening.
It's happening.
Five days of darkness.
I didn't get a clip of it, but
there's something going on in September.
They're gonna blackout, blackout.
You heard about this?
No, I thought that was August.
Now it's September.
No, no, blackout is different.
It's from black people.
Oh, blackout.
Oh no, what's the blackout about?
They're gonna, none of them are gonna buy
anything.
They're not gonna go to work.
Oh, they already tried this before.
They tried this last year.
They're trying it again.
They tried it last year.
They're gonna shut down the country.
It's a general strike.
Okay.
I think it's the 17th of September.
Who is pushing this nonsense?
Who knows?
They're just, they're definitely taking, just throwing spaghetti
toward the wall.
On top of everything, out of the blue
comes a dude I've never heard of, and
I'm sure lots of people have, the Channel
5 guy.
Oh yeah, the Channel 5 guy, Gillespie.
Have you seen him before?
I had never seen him before.
He was new to me.
I've never seen him before, but I have
to say this.
You're talking about, he did the interview.
Three hour podcast with Hunter.
Right, and outside.
Now, the thing about it, people should note,
it was a three camera shoot.
It was not a slouch job.
No, it was not.
Everybody, him and Hunter, outside were extremely well
-liked.
And well-lit, too.
There was extra lighting.
There was definitely lighting, and it was slick.
Other news today, Hunter Biden is speaking out
in an expletive-filled interview that some are
calling unhinged.
And among his targets, George Clooney, who famously
went public about former President Biden's cognitive decline.
F*** him, f*** him and everybody around him.
It's a bleep fest as Hunter Biden goes
after George Clooney.
George Clooney is not a f***ing actor.
He is a f***ing, like, I don't know
what he is.
The troubled former first son is clearly still
holding a major grudge over Clooney's 2024 New
York Times op-ed urging Joe Biden to
quit the presidential race.
What do you have to do with f***ing
anything?
Why do I have to f***ing listen to
you?
What right do you have to step on
a man who's given 52 years of his
f***ing life to the service of this country?
That was unhinged, and I don't get it.
Hunter's rant is leaving many flabbergasted.
It's incredibly disturbing to watch.
It's just foul-mouthed rants after foul-mouthed
rants.
He also lashed out at President Trump.
He's a f***ing dictator thug.
Slamming the president for deporting undocumented migrants.
How do you think your hotel room gets
cleaned?
How do you think you got food on
your f***ing table?
I love this elitist take.
By the way, this is the only clip
I have of it, and yours is better
because it's bleeped.
I have the dirty version, which I don't
want to play.
Absolutely.
This is the most elitist thing you could
possibly say.
Who's going to clean your bathrooms?
Who's going to pick your vegetables?
Who's going to mow your lawn?
Documented migrants.
How do you think your hotel room gets
cleaned?
How do you think you got food on
your f***ing table?
Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your f***ing garden?
Who washes your dishes, John?
I wash my own damn dishes.
I have a dishwasher.
You take a dirty dish, you put it
in the dishwasher, you close the door, you
put the timer on, and it gets cleaned.
I don't have a migrant doing my dishes.
What was he talking about?
I'm convinced, all of us, that these people
are the f***ing criminals.
The White House today is hitting back on
social media.
A Border Patrol agent was just shot in
the face by two criminal, illegal aliens that
Joe Biden let into the country.
But Hunter is more concerned about who is
going to clean up his hotel room after
his benders.
Hunter is also giving a new explanation for
his father's disastrous debate performance that ended his
campaign for re-election.
He claims the former president was under the
influence of sleeping pills.
He's 81 years old, he's tired as s***.
You give him Ambien to be able to
sleep, he gets up on the stage, and
he looks like he's a deer in the
headlights.
All of this, all of this, all of
this is just to keep us distracted, running
around, yelling at each other.
You know, I went to Glenn Beck on
Tuesday.
Well, before you leave that clip and talk
about Beck, I will say, I was watching
Gutfeld, and Tyrus had the best analysis of,
I have to say, it caught everybody off
guard, including Gutfeld.
Tyrus had the best analysis of that particular
interview, where he said it wasn't really a
distraction.
The whole thing was designed to back up
his dad so they don't pull the pardon
away, saying that he was incompetent, and the
auto-pin pardoned Hunter, and Hunter would lose
his pardon so he has to do everything
he can to defend the old man to
make it sound like, no, he was fine.
No, that makes sense.
And it makes nothing but sense because, yeah,
because if Hunter loses that pardon, he could
get into a lot of trouble.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Well, what I was going to say about
Beck, I went up and did his show,
which was fun.
Yeah, how'd it go?
I didn't see it.
Yeah, no, it hasn't aired yet.
I think it airs this weekend.
Well, that's why I didn't see it.
Yeah, like you'd watch.
I go to that show.
Like you'd watch.
You wouldn't watch.
Oh, yeah, I dogged the show.
Turns out, this is my third time.
He says, I've never had anyone on three
times.
I'm like, wow.
He said, is that a job offer?
I said, no, no.
You're just the Regis Philbin of Glenn Beck
now.
And as we're talking- That's trying that
hard to believe.
What?
Well, Beck's been on the air for 20
years.
He's never had anybody on three times.
On this podcast.
This wasn't the radio show.
Oh, the podcast wasn't the radio show.
Yeah, it was a podcast.
He's my age.
I didn't know it.
He's 61, we're the same age.
He said that he talked to President Trump.
President Trump was very mad, very mad at
him.
For what?
I guess he didn't just do as told
and stop talking about Epstein.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So Trump called him.
We can see that.
And he said, but in the conversation, he
said that Trump said, I don't care about
any of this.
I'm here to do the things I promised
to do and I will do them and
I will do them all the way until
a bitter end.
And he said, I don't care about anything.
But that seems kind of hard to believe
because I think he really does care.
And Beck also agreed with me that the
president does not have his finger on the
pulse of the nation.
He didn't have it on the vaccines and
this, he totally just misjudged this.
And now he's got Tulsi out there clearly
not trying to get people indicted or arrested,
just telling stories and going up there with
Levitt.
But who cares?
That's just to feed the machine.
Nothing's happening.
That's what's so disappointing.
In 17 and a half years of the
show, exactly zero things.
No one's been arrested.
Exactly, zero people have arrested, been arrested.
Nothing has happened.
The sealed indictments were never opened.
Nothing.
Oh, we forgot about that.
Joe DeGeneva.
Nothing, nothing.
10,000 sealed indictments.
Nothing, nothing, nothing ever happened.
And by the way, Joe DeGeneva, that was
the best of the group.
Yeah.
Tomorrow.
You know, and of course, you know, now
we get the news.
Wednesday, a federal judge denied a DOJ request
to unseal grand jury transcripts from the investigation
into Epstein.
I understand there are two other requests from
the Department of Justice that are ongoing, but
I'll let this president speak to whether he
wants to see an appeal.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is sending lawmakers for
an early summer recess rather than hold votes
on releasing all of the Epstein documents.
No one in Congress is blocking Epstein documents.
No one in Congress is doing that.
Johnson accused Democrats of engaging in a political
charade, but many of the questions are coming
from the right.
The American people want answers.
The House Oversight Committee passed a motion to
subpoena Epstein's co-conspirator and convicted sex trafficker,
Ghislaine Maxwell, to appear for a deposition.
Yeah, okay.
So again, nothing's gonna happen.
Nothing's gonna come out.
It's almost like, hey, what can we give
the podcasters?
Ah, yeah, we'll give them this.
The podcast.
So I actually got a decent overview, three
clips, reasonable length, from CBN that kind of
lay it out with reasonable facts, just here's
what's going on.
So we can get a kind of, it's
not as sensationalized as every other news outlet.
Although news during Donald Trump's second term.
Of course, the read is sensational, but that's
what you do on cable.
Although news during Donald Trump's second term has
been coming fast and furious, this latest bombshell
is downright startling.
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassifying documents,
showing what she labels overwhelming evidence of former
President Barack Obama and his national security team
basically creating intelligence about Russia attempting to influence
the 2016 election.
There's no question in my mind that this
intelligence community assessment that President Obama ordered be
published, which contained a manufactured intelligence document.
It's worse than even politicization of intelligence.
It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve
President Obama and his team's objective, which was
undermining President Trump's presidency and subverting the will
of the American people.
Gabbard called the act treasonous conspiracy.
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is troubled
too.
Oh yes, let's bring in Mike Johnson.
He's very, very troubling.
I'm the Cheshire cat.
Well, I don't know how to summarize it
by way of description in a snappy phrase,
but I will tell you it is deeply
problematic.
What was it, what?
We recognize that.
Deeply problem as deeply, deeply.
No, what, does he do snappy phrases?
I've never heard that.
Let me listen.
Snappy phrase?
What was the snappy phrase?
That's what he says.
He says, I can't do a snappy phrase
as if he does snappy phrases.
I guess he's saying he doesn't.
Well, I don't know how to summarize it
by way of description in a snappy phrase,
but I will tell you it is deeply
problematic.
This was the meeting.
Tulsi, you gotta get it together.
Use a snappy phrase, you know.
We need something.
Snappy phrase.
We need something to lock her up, you
know.
We need something that everybody can start chanting.
I think that's literally the meeting that they
had.
We need a snappy phrase.
It's hard to sum it up.
And Tulsi's not doing a good job at
getting it.
Recognize that the people who are being called
out now were involved in a scheme.
We knew that it was a shameless false
set of accusations.
And yet, they perpetuated the lie on the
American people and they looked right into the
camera and just lied, clearly.
And they knew what they were up to
the whole time.
So there must be accountability for that.
Well, who's he talking about?
Because that was the news media that looked
into the camera and lied.
You say there must be accountability.
The DOJ will work on the criminal aspect
of this.
What's the role of the House here specifically?
I mean, people want to see subpoenas.
They want to see depositions.
They want to see whether it be Brennan,
Clapper, potentially the president, the former president of
the United States.
Are you willing to go down that route?
Because a lot of people want to see
some of these folks questioned under oath.
Of course.
Look, I think we have a responsibility to
follow the truth where it leads.
Follow the truth.
And I do expect that whether there's a
special counsel appointed, which some are suggesting, and
or in conjunction with the House investigations, that
we will get the answers.
And there will be accountability to the extent
that we're able to do that.
Referring people to the DOJ for prosecution and
any other measure that is appropriate as we
begin to uncover more of the facts.
Does it get tricky at all with the
former president, President Obama, looking at what his
role in this is and bringing him in
for some sort of deposition, potential subpoena?
Well, listen, I mean, I can't, we have
no concern about that.
If it's uncomfortable for him, he shouldn't have
been involved in overseeing this, which is what
it appears to us has happened.
How many sealed indictments there are?
More than 100,000.
100,000 sealed indictments.
And of course, then we wind it up
with the Epstein stuff.
The other story continuing to make waves, the
Epstein files.
Democrats and even a few Republicans want a
House vote to force the DOJ to release
all the Epstein documents.
They filed a discharge petition, meaning if 218
members of Congress agree, they can force a
vote.
The Speaker has some tactical maneuvers to stop
it if he so chooses.
Are you willing to let them have that
vote?
Or procedurally, can you kind of, how do
we say this, muck it up a little
bit?
Well, I think it's a moot point now.
I mean, there's no daylight between the House
Republicans and the White House on maximum disclosure.
The President has said that he wants all
credible evidence to come forward.
And he's now ordered the grand jury testimony
or asked the DOJ and the Attorney General
to request that of the court, and they
have.
And we'll allow the space for all that
to play out.
And so if there's a role for Congress
to play, we will.
But right now, we're in full agreement with
the Commander-in-Chief.
So would you allow then, or you would
not allow the discharge petition?
The discharge petition is a political ploy.
The Democrats are playing games with this.
I'll let everybody else determine the motives of
everyone involved, okay?
But obviously, the Democrats here have shown their
hand many times.
They want to try to damage the President.
They want to go after President Trump.
They want to put speed bumps in the
way of all the progress we're making.
And they see here a political opportunity.
Yeah, okay.
America is one big machine, and we just
feed it with garbage and then just turn
it around and spew it out over people.
And we're the idiots.
Bah, oh, have our mouth open.
Ah, feed me more.
Yeah, then we had to stop in the
middle of everything yesterday.
Stop, stop the guy who knifed four kids
to death.
He's sentenced.
And then we're back.
It's all it is.
You know, the thing about arresting somebody, they
have Brennan cold with the lying to Congress.
Yeah, well, you don't go to jail for
that.
Like Bannon, two weeks.
I don't think so.
You think they can find a sacrificial lamb?
And Bannon went for four months, I think.
It wasn't two weeks.
You know, they can find a sacrificial lamb?
Well, Brennan would be a good choice.
Yeah, but I don't see it happening.
But just don't.
No, you asked for a sacrificial lamb.
He would be a good choice, but I
agree.
I don't think anything's gonna happen because the
Republicans do nothing.
They're a do nothing party.
Oh, I got an idea.
They talk a big game.
Wait, wait, wait, I got an idea.
Let's release the MLK files.
This morning reaction is pouring in.
Following a Wall Street Journal report, that President
Trump's name appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files
multiple times.
According to- Oh, wait a minute, that
wasn't the right clip.
The Trump administration has released records of the
FBI's surveillance of civil rights leader, Martin Luther
King Jr. FBI records released previously show the
bureau wiretapped King's telephone lines, bugged his hotel
rooms, and used informants.
King was assassinated in 1968.
King's family and the group he led had
objected to the release.
The records have been under a court-imposed
seal since 1977.
They were meant to remain sealed until 2027.
So the troll room asked the appropriate question.
Why are they do nothings?
Why does nothing happen?
Why do the indictments never get unsealed?
Why?
And the answer's, of course, because they're all
complicit.
All of them.
No, it's because they're gay.
Okay.
They're all complicit.
They're all in on it.
They're all being blackmailed.
And you are the dupe.
Now, if we just held to that opinion,
the show would end, as would every other
podcast in the universe.
So that's why.
You gotta be part of the system.
Oh, there's something new.
Bob McCrone.
And by the way, how many people, I
was watching some podcasts, and it's like watching
a podcast, which makes no sense.
But I'm watching a podcast.
Yeah.
And it's just a guy, one guy by
himself with a mic who can just endlessly
talk.
Yeah, it's pretty good, soliloquy.
It's pretty astonishing to me because they're not
saying anything.
It's just yak, yak, yak.
It's all talking points that have been kind
of expanded somehow.
Hannity does this.
He's like the pro at this.
He just can yak away just endlessly.
It's like the, if you ever worked with
somebody, stand in a newsroom or TV news
where you had one of these people that
can just get out there and talk as
long as you want.
Yak casting.
And you have to look for the openings
to get them to stop.
They can literally stand there and talk about
a car crash behind them for as long
as you want them to talk.
Yak casting.
Yak, it's unbelievable.
Well, and when you think about that and
what we're consuming, I have to doubt this
report from ABC.
To the index, a new study tonight finds
the pandemic may have aged our brains.
That explains it.
Whether you had COVID or not, they say.
Researchers say brain scans actually show COVID.
Did he just say whether you like COVID
or not?
Hold on a second.
What did he just say here?
Aged our brains.
That explains it.
Whether you had COVID or not, they say.
Researchers say.
Whether you like COVID or not?
No, whether you had COVID or not.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That explains it.
Whether you had COVID or not, they say.
Researchers say brain scans actually show COVID.
The stress involved may have sped up brain
aging by more than five months during that
period.
They believe it's reversible with exercise, diet, and
of course, Oh, diet.
Exercise and diet.
Well, there's a lot now about.
Drinking.
There's a lot about technology in the news
today as there's new studies, new reports, NBC
Today, the doctor comes in, she explains it,
what we all knew to be true and
was not surprising, but now science confirms it.
Now a GMA health alert on children and
smartphones.
A new study out overnight finding a link
between kids who use them at a younger
age and worse mental health outcomes when they
become adults.
Oh, our chief medical correspondent, Dr. Tara Narula
is here with more.
I don't think this is too surprising for
some folks.
So what are the findings here?
This is a topic that so many parents
like myself, I have a nine-year-old
and a 12-year-old are dealing with
as our kids are using phones for education,
socialization, and all kinds of reasons and asking
when can I get a phone getting them
at younger and younger ages?
Unfortunately with this socialization.
Don't you, don't you?
I don't know.
How do you socialize with one of those
stupid phones?
On social media.
That's how you socialize on social media?
That's what socialization is.
It's faux, F-A-U-X socialization.
Correct.
Get a phone, getting them at younger and
younger ages.
Unfortunately, with this social experiment that we are
conducting, we're now realizing that there may be
long-term health impacts.
Social experiment?
Well, she means that in a, not in
a true, she means it in a, Yeah.
I don't know how she means it.
Ironic.
Yeah, she means it ironically.
That we are conducting, we're now realizing that
there may be long-term health impacts from
research.
So this research study looked at 100,000
individuals who they surveyed who were 18 to
24 years old.
They asked them, when did you get a
smartphone?
And they asked them about a whole host
of mental health symptoms.
And they found that those who had a
smartphone before the age of 13 had worse
mental health outcomes.
And by that we mean they reported more
suicidal thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings
of detachment from reality and hallucinations.
When they looked specifically at both genders, Yeah,
hallucinations, isn't that great?
But listen to the numbers.
Suicidal thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings
of detachment from reality and hallucinations.
When they looked specifically at both genders, both
reported, Whoa, hold on a second, doctor.
Both genders?
That makes it sound like it's a binary.
But there's a hundred by a gender, so
I don't know.
At least minimum.
Yeah.
Suicidal thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings
of detachment from reality and hallucinations.
When they looked specifically at both genders, both
reported decreased self-worth and self-image.
Girls decreased as an emotional resilience and also
in their lower confidence.
And boys, they reported less calmness, less stability
and a decrease in empathy.
One specific statistic.
So 48% of girls who got their
phone before the age of 13, around age
five or six, reported suicidal thoughts, as opposed
to 28% who got it over the
age of 13.
Oh, well, 13 is fine.
It's only 28%.
28%.
That's shocking by itself.
What drove this, Robin?
Well, not surprisingly, social media was a big
factor in a lot of this, as was
poorer sleep, deterioration in family relationships and cyber
bullying.
So a lot of issues around giving phones
to kids under 13.
Yeah, you're connected on the phone, but you're
not connected in person to your family.
That's right.
You're not connected.
You're not connected.
What is the takeaway, doctor?
What do you need to be connected for
as you're 13, 14, 15, 16, 17?
What are you, a doctor?
You're on call?
Is it like a pager?
You have to have a phone when you're
17 and you have to be on it
all the time because you never know what
such a, oh, something important might be happening
in your life.
Give me a break.
Well, the problem, I think is highlighted here,
is when kids see their parents doing this,
because that's what's going on here, it's the
parents.
The parents, the Gen X, who are probably
reasonably okay with a lot of this, but
some are severely addicted, just on the phone
all the time, at the table, at the
breakfast table, and everywhere, in the car, all
the time.
Do you remember the days when you'd go
to a restaurant and if somebody pulled out
his cell phone, they were, everyone would stop
them eating.
I was like, just put that out.
What are you doing?
They were scolded.
Yeah, I do remember that.
That was, I think, before social media.
That was when, oh, I got a text
message, or your BlackBerry.
Black, it kind of crossed the line with
BlackBerry because when you had a BlackBerry, it's
like, well, he's clearly doing some important business
because that's a business machine.
What's the takeaway for parents with that?
What's the takeaway for parents?
You're killing your kids is what the takeaway
is.
What's the takeaway for parents with this?
Well, number one, I think, is social media.
The longer we can push off, allowing our
kids to be on social media, we are
learning the better.
I think lots of families are getting creative.
We did a story here, I know Becky
Worley, on landlines, right?
Landlines!
Flip phones for kids may be an option
so that they can have access to communicating
without all the other things that come with
smartphones.
Give the kid a landline with a long
extension cord.
The American Academy.
Yeah, there you go.
Good old Becky, she came up with the
right solution.
Becky, landlines!
Pediatrics has a whole host of information that
families can use.
A family media plan, and actually- A
family media plan!
Oh, we need a media plan in our
family, that'll do it.
A family media plan, and actually something they
call the five C's.
So the first C is- Hold on,
is that anything like the escape plan?
You know, you're supposed to have it on
a go bag, you have a go bag.
We need a media plan.
How much media can I consume today, Dad?
When I was a kid, we got one
hour of television a day because it was
going to rot your brain.
Don't sit too close, it'll rot your brain
and ruin your eyes.
Yeah, it'll ruin your eyes.
I remember that one.
They call the five C's.
So the first C is child.
So knowing your child, what are they interested
in?
Why might they be wanting to use a
phone?
Are they artistic or musical content?
What kind of apps are they interested in
using?
And how do we show them how to
steer away from negative and inappropriate content?
The third C is calm.
So finding ways to emotionally regulate that doesn't
involve the phones, finding ways to fall asleep
at bedtime.
The next C has to do with crowding
out.
You want to make sure it's not crowding
out other things like physical activity and homework.
And the last is communication.
Open lines of communication with your kids about
this.
Let my son tell it.
He's the only 11-year-old in the
world who doesn't have a phone, but I'm
glad- Mine does not either.
No social media, no phone.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, I'm great, I'm a
great parent.
So there were 40, 45 kids at this
Patriot Academy yesterday.
And I'll tell you what the Patriot Academy
does.
They teach young people, typically right before gap
year or right out of college, they teach
them how the political process works.
They've rebuilt Constitution Hall.
They have, you know, they show kids how
to write a bill, how to get it
into committee, how to get it out of
committee, how to argue it on the floor.
And they're in every single state.
There's multiple so-called graduates of Patriot Academy.
And they also teach them constitutional defense.
Half of these kids, all in their early
20s, were all strapped.
They had big nine millimeters on their belt
because it's so, you know, because they teach
it there at the academy.
So they're all walking around armed.
You know, as a speaker, you're like, man,
I better not suck.
But not once, not once did I see
anyone zone out or go to their phone.
It was really impressive.
So it's possible, it's possible, but not in
most modern homes without a media plan.
What do you think parents can do in
order to model healthy behavior when it comes
to the phones?
So certainly parents putting their phones down at
mealtimes and connecting with their kids, eye to
eye having conversations, keeping the phones out of
the bedroom, putting on the do not disturb
on your phone and then watching with your
kids.
I know in my house, we have an
iPad rule where it stays out of the
bedroom for my daughter and she has to
log it in and out like a library
book.
She's only allowed to use it for about
an hour and a half each weekend day.
Oh, okay.
She has to log it in.
Don't need your papers.
Nazi.
Right on cue.
Meta is on the ball.
Meta taking action to protect kids and teens
online, wiping 135,000 Instagram accounts from the
app, as well as 500,000 Facebook and
Instagram accounts that were linked to those original
ones.
All of this action because users behind the
accounts were making sexualized and inappropriate comments to
accounts featuring children.
Adam Scott-Want, an associate professor at John
Jay College of Criminal Justice says the move
from Meta is a step in the right
direction.
We see constant examples of our youth hurting
themselves and others hurting our children in our
country because of these behaviors.
And it is great that Meta is taking
proactive steps in order to address them.
Meta has also introduced new safety features, making
it easier to block and report accounts and
adding protections for Instagram accounts that feature kids
but are run by their parents.
Want stresses that parents and children need to
be proactive about their own protection though, with
parents getting full access to kids' accounts, talking
with their children about what's appropriate, monitoring their
chat rooms, and making sure screen time is
limited and controlled.
And he's calling for more social media apps
to take notice of this move from Meta
and make their own changes.
What do you think hurts kids more in
America, guns or phones?
Oh, phones for sure.
Yeah.
So we need a campaign.
We need a campaign.
And there is no second amendment for phones.
No, no, you can't regulate this stuff.
That's ridiculous.
You can't regulate it.
By the way, when it comes to AI,
there's a new report out and the report
is from commonsensemedia.org.
Talk, trust, and trade-offs.
Now, commonsense media has been around for a
long time.
How and why teens use AI companions?
Well, here's the news.
72% of teens say they are turning
to AI for advice, friendship, and more.
And if you- 72% of what?
Teens.
Of all teens?
Yes.
So we have a million teens and you're
telling me 720,000 of them?
Yes.
I don't believe it.
Okay, well, it's statistics.
Yeah, I mean, lies, lies, and damn statistics,
of course.
From the survey, 70%, and it's AI companions.
This is not just AI, it's companions.
Yeah, that's what makes it so ludicrous.
Yes, if you look at the chat GPT
app, there's, it has, actually, I have it
here.
I installed it just for this very reason.
What was the sound effect you just did?
That was my gun falling out.
Is the app some sort of a thing?
No, my box?
My gun fell on the ground.
So it has latest news.
Therapy is number two.
It has these little, you know, you can
kind of pre-prompt it by setting the
topic.
And therapy is the second box you can
hit.
So they're actively encouraging people to use their
AI chat bot for therapy.
So how teens use them, 33% for
social interaction and relationships, 18% for conversation,
12% for emotional or mental health support,
12% for role-playing or imaginative scenarios.
Well, that's gotta be dull.
For romantic or flirtatious interactions, 8%.
Oh, yeah, I wanna flirt with the computer.
Well, they actually, so what AI users use
AI companions for?
Number one, 30% is entertaining.
Two, I'm curious about the technology.
Three, it gives advice.
Four, they're always available when I need someone
to talk to.
They don't judge me, number five.
I can say things I wouldn't tell my
friends or family.
It's easier than talking to real people, 9%.
Helps me practice social skills, 7%.
And 6% helps me feel less lonely.
This is, well, I'm not gonna beat the
dead horse.
It is obviously an epidemic.
And when it comes to people treating AI
like it's a real human being, it's a
real entity, a deity.
President Trump signed an executive order yesterday about
artificial intelligence, and then the Fox business crew
picked up on it.
Let me, this is a basic straight-up
report about the executive order, which, of course,
doesn't mention the thing that the Fox business
people do.
President Trump is set this very hour to
sign artificial intelligence-related executive orders at a
summit here in Washington, D.C. Aaron Navarro
joins me now from the White House.
Aaron, talk to our audience about what's in
these executive orders and what is the intent
behind them.
If I ever, from what we know, if
I ever say to you, John, John, talk
to the audience, would you please?
Yeah, I'll shoot you.
Okay.
From what we know is that it is
all part of what the White House has
labeled, quote, an AI action plan.
There are three main pillars, the first being
promoting innovation through deregulation, which, from reading the
actual plan itself, is primarily just rescinding a
lot of the actions taken under President Biden
in the last term regarding oversight, regarding risk
mitigation when it comes to artificial intelligence.
The second pillar, making it easier for the
actual building of these data centers, semiconductor manufacturing
within the United States.
One thing that is listed in this plan
is kind of getting rid of, or severely
reducing the permitting process to help speed up
the actual manufacturing of what is needed to
kind of boost AI production within the United
States.
And the third pillar, which is a bit
more broad, lead in international AI diplomacy and
security.
It talks about working to export AI tech
to countries, quote, willing to join America's AI
alliance.
So that's kind of just the overview of
this AI action plan where President Trump will
kind of unveil all of that at this
event hosted by his, quote, AI czar, David
Sachs.
All right, so then we get the Fox
business crew, which might as well just be
Fox and friends or Fox and family, but
pretending to talk about business.
And they remind us that President Trump made
a big deal about no woke AI.
Remember Google Gemini's warped interpretation of historical figures?
Well, President Trump sure does because his next
executive order is going to dismantle Silicon Valley's
political bias.
Woke AI, that's the target of the White
House.
They say if you're going to be a
leader in the next digital frontier and accept
federal funds, well, you better be neutral.
Mr. Bronson, I come to you, sir.
You've been talking about how government shouldn't be
involved in these things.
Is Donald Trump wrong to put out this
executive order?
Well, I don't know what the executive order
ultimately does.
I certainly agree with the- I don't
know anything, but I'm here on Fox Business
now.
The sentiment behind it, I don't want this
wokeness coming through in the code and in
the way these things are programmed and written.
And I think that the president has a
lot of authority on getting rid of wokeness
and certain elements of governmental policy and departments
and whatnot.
So the anti-woke, anti-DEI agenda of
the president is something that I've been completely
supportive of.
And I basically think corporate America may be
clowned itself for a few years, but I
never believed it was doing it ideologically.
I always thought it was doing it because
it thought that was the right commercial move
and they found out the hard way they
were wrong.
The right commercial move, but the images that
were shown were included a black George Washington,
diverse Nazi imagery.
I mean, you look at this, Gary, you
know, we kind of lost focus on this
problem, right?
Other stuff came up, we stopped paying attention
to it.
Does this deserve to end now?
So the whole point they're missing is that,
of course, all of this stuff is pre
-programmed and you're giving it to your kids
and it's programming their brains.
And it's so stupid that Dagan, who I
think is a lawyer, Dagan, she's a very,
she's a hard hitter.
She's on the five from time to time,
I think.
Dagan.
Yeah, she, well, she was going to go
teach AI a lesson.
You know, when we're talking about this executive
order, this is only related to artificial intelligence
companies getting federal money and federal contracts.
So if you want to be crazy left
-wing woke and just make up whatever you
want to, you can do it without federal
dollars.
But I will give you an example of
how bias, and these bots are as biased
as the information that you're training them with,
quite frankly.
But here's an example from- Now listen
carefully to how she got sucked into talking
to an AI bot.
Today, I was asking ChatGPT for inflation adjusted
wages, how much they had gone up under,
and I said, under President Trump's second term,
exactly.
Cause I was double checking my numbers.
And the answer from ChatGPT was, you, there
appears to be some confusion.
President Trump did not serve a second term.
He lost reelection in November of 2020, and
he returned to office January, 2025, which is
the start of a new term, not a
second one.
And I replied to ChatGPT, I said, I
told ChatGPT, your answer, I said, your answer
is biased.
This is correct.
It's right here, right here.
This is the Eliza effect in full effect.
I told ChatGPT, I gave ChatGPT a piece
of my mind.
Currently, President Trump's second term as president, a
second term doesn't have to be concurrent.
You're quibbling to make a point about President
Trump losing in 2020.
Stop this and stop being politically biased, fix
yourself.
And it responded?
Yeah, it said, you're right, but I appreciate
your clarification.
What can I say?
Set the semantics aside and get, I will
get to your exact question.
I said, no, I'm not setting the semantics
aside.
I'm arguing with ChatGPT, but by telling ChatGPT
it's being politically biased, I hope that helps
train the bot to be less biased.
Idiots.
Wow.
Complete.
And you know what?
That clip is so screwy.
I'm going to give you a clip of
the day.
Wow.
Unexpected.
Because you're right.
This is somebody arguing.
It's like yelling at the TV and shaking
your fist.
Or at the podcast player.
Curry Dvorak, you're wrong.
Oh, wait, everybody does that.
Unbelievable.
Well, and then there was the- And
she doesn't understand how these things work to
begin with.
Nobody does.
We have been so programmed, pre-programmed, pre
-conditioned.
Kit, Kit, come around.
Pick me up, Kit.
Computer.
Working.
Working.
Johnny Five, Johnny Five is alive.
And of course, there was the big thread
on X about this guy who was coding
with Reap Replete, I think it is.
And it deleted his database.
And the guy was at it for two
days without sleep.
And he's like, I told you, Chad Teepee,
I told you, Replete, do not delete, Replete.
And it did.
And then it said, I'm sorry.
And then he was talking.
I mean, people get into these conversations and
it is just, just pathetic.
I mean, and I can't blame them.
Again, all the pre-programming in Hollywood, particularly.
And we've been so ready for this.
Working, working.
Yes.
But, but there's a light at the end
of the tunnel because everyone is now seeing
all these things going wrong.
They're seeing.
Nobody's seeing anything.
Yeah, no, they're seeing.
And it doesn't matter because the pivot is
upon us.
The pivot is here.
The first ever global quantum forum, bringing together
leaders in technology from 20 countries, highlighting the
work being done to make Chicago the world's
quantum technology capital.
This technology.
Quantum capital.
Potential.
It could lead to breakthroughs in major economic
sectors from energy, healthcare, cyber security, finance.
Wait a minute.
I thought AI was going to fix all
that.
But I thought that was LLM and Chad
GPT and open AI.
Now we have to wait for quantum to
do all this.
This sounds, this doesn't sound right.
It could lead to breakthroughs in major economic
sectors from energy, healthcare, cyber security, finance, and
more.
Last year, Governor JB Pritzker announced a major
investment in developing the old US steel site
on the South side into the Illinois Quantum
Microelectronics Park.
The 128 acre campus is now home to
three companies, including Inflection, which announced today it
will build the world's first utility scale quantum
computer based on neutral atom technology.
Neutral atom technology.
It'll help us change the way that we
measure, change the way we sense our world.
Our quantum sensors can precisely measure the world
in ways that we never thought possible, enabling
things like the ability to navigate without using
GPS.
Well, we couldn't do that before.
Which will come in really handy for-
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He has a punchline.
He has a punchline.
Precisely measure the world in ways that we
never thought possible, enabling things like the ability
to navigate without using GPS, which will come
in really handy if you're ever driving on
Lower Wacker.
Governor Pritzker projects a $60 billion economic impact
for Illinois and the creation of 30,000
jobs.
This is hyper-charged, super-charged.
Hyper-charged, super-charged, woo baby!
An endeavor to bring jobs, to bring economic
opportunity to the area.
The Global Quantum Forum runs through tomorrow when
there will be discussions on AI and human
health and medicine.
Hey, by the way, I want to mention
there's been ways to navigate before GPS.
Yeah, with a sextant.
Well, no, there's also- A map, a
map.
A map works.
Also, if anybody remembers the eTAC, look that
up, people.
The eTAC, what was the eTAC?
The eTAC was a system you put in
your car and it had maps built in,
and it would do a measure and turn
type of navigation where if you wanted to
go to some place, you'd go a mile
this way and then you'd take a left
and you'd go a quarter mile and then
eighth of a mile this way, that way.
Hold on a second, I'm looking this up.
I don't remember the eTAC.
Yeah, this was a Nolan Bushnell product.
eTAC, oh, here we go, 1985.
The independent US-based vendor automated automotive navigation
system equipped with digital maps, mapping software.
Sunnyvale, okay, all right.
Who was this guy?
Nolan Bushnell, yeah, you know a lot.
Okay, so what- I know a lot.
You do, it was, oh, it was based
on an 8088 system.
Woo, 256K of RAM, baby.
Didn't take that much, and it worked.
I had one, so it worked.
A cassette tape drive with digital maps.
When I was a kid.
When I was a kid, we used cassette
tapes.
Kansas City standard.
I wanna know how it worked.
How did it, what was the, oh, you
used a digital compass.
Oh, okay, and had two wheel sensors.
This was quite a deal.
That was basically dead reckoning.
A dead reckoning system.
Okay, well, that works.
Which didn't need GPS, and it did the
same job, the most elaborate.
In fact, I thought it did a better
job than the stuff I, once in a
while, I'm in San Francisco where the GPS
system is telling me I'm on a different
street.
This is so good.
This is fantastic.
Well, the more you know on the No
Agenda show, fabulous.
And so I took a buddy of mine
up to Beck, and he works at a
hyperscaler.
And I'm trying to, you know, which of
course is an AI company.
And he's, and he does sales.
He has one huge customer.
And I'm like.
Yeah, always a problem.
Well, not for him.
He likes it.
Well, until the customer bails.
Nah, but, well, they're not, they won't.
This is the whole point.
This is what he's telling me.
He's saying, this is all about getting their
data into our system.
Yeah, it's not really a customer.
It's a partner.
What do you mean?
You got one customer and you're that tight
when they're never going to bail.
I said, it's a partner.
It's not a customer.
Right, well, what he does is he services
the customer all day.
And I said, so what's the AI part?
He says, it's really bullcrap.
He says, we just want, yeah, he says
it's bullcrap.
We're a hyperscaler.
So what we really do is we just
want to get their data into our data
center because once we have their data, well,
that's kind of it.
And then if they want to use compute
from Google or compute from Azure or compute
from open AI, they're agnostic.
They say, okay, you just spin up an
instance.
But the data, this is all about data
capture.
This is the real fight because there's so
much data being created.
And the number one competitor of all these
guys is Oracle.
That's it.
And Oracle just has such a lock on
every, all your data belong to us, has
such a lock on the data.
And they charge exorbitant fees.
And that's why Larry Ellis is like, oh,
yeah, we can do AI and then we'll
have a drone kill you when you're speeding.
Stay with Oracle.
This has very little to do with AI.
It's all about getting people's data.
It's a race for the data.
And yeah, of course there's some slicing and
dicing of data.
If anything, it's machine learning.
He says, we just put an AI sticker
on everything.
It's machine learning.
So you can slice it up into blocks
and like, okay, great.
I know when to charge someone a penny
more per kilowatt hour on their home electricity
bill.
It's highly unimpressive.
And all they do is say, oh, you
want to throw an LLM on that?
Okay.
Which he says is really expensive.
He said, so part of what they do
is they have a gatekeeper and it's who's
allowed to use what LLM and for how
long, because you get guys within these companies
that are looking at their own data, which
they now have given to this hyperscaler and
they fire up a open AI.
And the end of the month is a
hundred thousand dollar bill for all this experimentation
he's been doing.
So this is not really built on sound
business practices yet.
Yeah, yet, yet.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
Well, here's a last example.
Well, AI has been a major talking point
of Trump administration health officials saying that it's
going to streamline work even at the FDA,
increase the speed of drug approvals.
And this comes at a time that the
department of health and human services has cut
thousands of workers across health agencies, but conversations
with employees at the FDA who are familiar
with this tool suggest perhaps it's at an
earlier stage maybe than is being promised, at
least when it comes to using it for
things like drug approvals.
One FDA employee telling us quote, anything that
you don't have time to double check is
unreliable.
It hallucinates confidently.
Another employee saying quote, AI is supposed to
save our time, but I guarantee you that
I waste a lot of extra time just
due to the heightened vigilance that I have
to have because it can sometimes hallucinate these
fake or misrepresented studies.
And so what we're hearing is that perhaps
it can be useful for maybe summarizing meetings
or helping with emails, but it's not yet
at the point where it can analyze data
that's been submitted by a company on a
drug or a product, for example.
The FDA does say that it's working on
updating it, but we had a conversation with
FDA commissioner, Dr. Marty Makary about where this
stands right now.
Here's what he said.
The main purpose in which it's used, according
to many of the scientists that I talked
to, is its organization ability.
It is identifying a study in the literature.
And so it's the responsibility of the scientific
reviewer to click on that link that ELSA
provides and look at the study and read
the abstract.
You have to determine what is reliable information
that I can make major decisions based on.
And I think we do a great job
of that.
So this is a tool called ELSA that
was introduced in early June, still clearly in
the early days, and the FDA is saying
it's working on updating it.
But at this point, according to this great
reporting from our DC colleague, Sarah Overmaul, maybe
not at the point that it is speeding
up drug approvals to a great degree.
Of course it's not.
It's not going to.
Ay-ay-ay.
Play my clip, because there's a little screwball
ending to this clip on the Trump AI
meetup.
Meetup.
President Trump vowing to stop adversaries like China
from using AI to push values contrary to
our own.
He's signing new executive orders and unveiling a
White House action plan to boost the American
AI industry.
Joining us now live is NTD's White House
correspondent, Mari Otsu.
Good evening, Mari.
What is the latest from the AI summit?
Good evening, Tiff.
Yes, currently President Trump is speaking at the
Winning the AI Race Summit here in Washington
just after his administration unveiled today a comprehensive
AI action plan.
Key features of this plan include targeting AI
models with political bias and making it easier
for companies to build data centers.
President Trump declares that America must win the
AI race.
Take a listen.
I'm here today to declare that America is
going to win it.
We're gonna work hard, we're gonna win it.
Because we will not allow any foreign nation
to beat us.
Our children will not live on a planet
controlled by the algorithms of the adversaries advancing
values and interests contrary to our own.
And right now we're leading China very substantially
in AI.
Press Secretary Levitt said in her briefing earlier
today that she does not think that the
president supports federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's
AI company.
Elon, Elon Musk.
Our children are controlled by the algorithms, President
Trump.
Yeah, it's true.
But what do you think, they're cutting off
Elon and his rock AI or whatever, their
Twitter AI or XAI.
They gave him a contract.
They said they're gonna cut him off.
Nah, he's in the $200 million contract, which
is peanuts.
One of our producers, Scott, he really wants
to help the show.
He says, he asked ChatGPT, how could the
podcast No Agenda use AI to bring their
media deconstruction message to the people of the
world and help them decouple from the mass
hypnosis of the current media landscape?
Would you like to hear some of these
ideas?
Oh, brother.
I could create an AI-powered media deconstruction
engine for you.
It would be an open source tool that
mimics their media deconstruction process.
Using a large language model.
What, we have a process?
Apparently.
Oh, here's our process.
It is, this is how they do it.
Who is pushing the story?
What's omitted or emphasized?
How emotional language is shaping perception?
The output would be No Agenda style reports
that anyone can generate for any news article
or broadcast.
I can hear Daryl sharpening his pencil already.
Yeah, Daryl's on it.
Or we should create, we should launch a
daily AI-generated briefing in the No Agenda
voice.
Pulled top stories.
No Agenda has a voice.
I guess.
Pulled top stories from global media automatically generate
side-by-side official narrative versus NA style
deconstruction.
Oh, this is a new version of Doug,
your old buddy.
Include links to source audio and video clips,
ideally with Adam's jingles and auto-inserted for
humor.
Oh, that'll work.
And then of course, AI clone of Adam
and John, which is a light touch and
satirical, train the voices, and then train the
voices to do short TikTok and Instagram reels
explaining media tricks.
Make a browser extension, a trigger tracker.
Wow.
Well, you're already, you're kind of losing me
now because it sounds like it's turning into
work.
How about localized No Agenda deconstruction squads?
Use AI to build a template toolkit for
fans in other countries.
Create mini podcast kits with local media inputs.
I like the deconstruction squad.
I think we could take over the world
with this idea.
And then of course, we need the Gamified
Narrative Watch app.
Anyway.
Gamified Narrative Watch app?
Yes.
A mobile app that turns media analysis into
a game.
Abusers score points by tagging manipulative headlines, identifying
who benefits, spotting coincidences, monthly leaderboards, jingle rewards,
unlockable clips from past episodes.
Unlock, what do we do?
We unlock clips.
Tie it into the value for value model.
Gamers earn sats or merch.
What?
Merch.
Merch.
Sounds like it's going to cost us money.
Yes.
So that's, there you go.
The AI is already helping us expand our
business and we're ready for an exit.
Helping us with suggestions.
Yes.
Suggestions, exactly.
You know, and the thing that ChatGPT has
started doing, and this is just a little
tip, you can tell something is generated by
ChatGPT specifically when it does bullet points like
one, two, three, four, five, six, it has
a little icon next to each bullet point.
Have you noticed this?
No.
You'll see when you'll start to see it
everywhere.
People are writing an email and it has
all these bullet points with little icons next
to it.
Listen, no human being in their right mind
goes out of their way to find a
little brain icon, a little world icon, a
little briefcase icon.
No, it's too much work.
Of course not.
Too many emojis out there.
Yeah, but they're putting it into emails, into
PDF documents, into presentations.
That's a giveaway.
You use ChatGPT.
You know, we should do a paper.
Oh, here we go.
Talking about work, yeah.
Well, you might be right, but maybe I
can do a subset column.
But we have to identify all the giveaways,
all the, it's not really a giveaway, it's
a- Clues.
Clue, a tell.
Tells, there you go.
All the ChatGPT and other systems tells and
document them and turn it into a small
book for professors.
Oh, there you go, yeah.
Right after we do the microphone company, right
after the vinegar book, no.
Right after the podcast awards, real money in
that.
You've been hounding me for years.
All great ideas.
By the way- Hey, which of those
ideas isn't great?
They're all great.
And next Thursday, we'll have a two-hour
-plus special on the No Agenda Show of
all of our most excellent exit strategies.
Oh, it's Thursday?
I thought it was Sunday.
Yeah, I thought it was Sunday too, it's
Thursday.
That was wrong.
Oh, you gave me the wrong date.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, my mistake.
It's Thursday.
But I'm all confused.
I think the matrix is moving dates around,
you know, trying to confuse us.
Hey, with that, I want to thank you
for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man
who just put the C in compute.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
DeMora.
Yeah, well, in the morning to you, in
the morning, I should've seen you boosted the
graphene and the air subs in the water,
the day was nights out there.
Say in the morning to the trolls, the
troll robots, Captain Trolls.
Oh, this is not good.
1653.
Yeah, that's low.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
I think it's- There's something in the
air.
No, well, COVID's in the air.
I think I had COVID for the past
five days.
What?
Yeah, I think so.
Did you do a test?
Did you shove a thing up your nose?
Please, no.
Please, no, of course not.
Did you spit in a bottle or spit
in a tube?
No, I had- Pee in a glass?
I had a sore throat and I was
run down.
What could you smell?
Yeah, no.
Could you smell?
No, I couldn't smell.
You couldn't smell?
I can smell again.
I can smell again today.
I can smell again.
I can smell again.
But I think it's because the Troll Room
website was broken.
And so you got COVID from that?
No, I think that's why people have stayed
away.
I mean, people were texting me on Tuesday
night, I can't listen to DH Unplugged Live.
I can't listen.
I can't listen.
The Troll Room was broken.
And you didn't miss anything because all you
would hear is Andrew Horowitz being butthurt about
me not telling him I'm coming to Florida.
What's up with that?
He didn't tell him you're coming to Florida.
He feels butthurt.
Yeah, but what kind of a child is
he?
He's a- He thinks it's funny to
have a feud with you.
Oh, well, here I am keeping it up
and now you're just gonna give it away
for no reason?
What kind of a- I just did
that, yeah.
Why did you do that?
I just thought it was a good idea.
He literally texted me, hey, are you coming
to Florida?
I'm like, yeah, but we're gonna be in
like the middle of Florida in some horrible
godforsaken place.
So I'm not gonna be near you.
He says, oh, well, I'm gonna make it
a big deal on the show.
Keep it up.
You're engagement farming.
This is behind the scenes.
This is what we're supposed to do.
We're transparent.
He's engagement farming.
I mean, his idea of a scam like
that is minor.
He needs help.
I thought the whole thing was suspicious when
he dropped it on me.
Of course, he needs help.
He needs help in doing this stuff.
He's bored.
He's bored because, oh, the halibut was 110
pounds.
It was like bringing up a Volkswagen from
the bottom of the ocean.
He caught a halibut.
110 pounder.
That thing is amazing.
Did you see a picture of it?
Yeah, I did.
It's the whole bottom of the boat.
Those things are horrible looking fishes.
Yeah, they're tasty though.
I consider it a tasteless fish.
With a little bit of butter?
No, yeah, they're tasting butter.
I mean, halibut is, people eat just for
the halibut.
Halibut tastes like butter.
Tastes like butter.
Oh, it's because you got butter all over
it.
I got, last night, one of our favorite
restaurants, we went out with some friends, actually
the friends who watch Phoebe when we're gone,
and of course they just do it as
a favor, so we take them out to
dinner at Cabernet Grill.
If you're in Fredericksburg, Cabernet Grill, it's a
little off the beaten path, but it's, i
.e. not on Main Street, but it's 25
% the price of anything on Main Street.
Little tip for you.
It sounds to me, because I've looked at
these menus with you, Fredericksburg seems like a
ripoff.
Big time ripoff.
Oh yeah, it's horrible, except for Backwoods Barbecue,
which is also, is in the same general
area as, and we're talking five minutes from
Main Street, so it's not a big deal.
Backwoods Barbecue is great, particularly steak night on
Fridays.
As I've always said, the, what's the Bavarian
place?
I forget the name of.
It'll come to me, and Cabernet Grill.
So Cabernet Grill, they do steaks at 1800
degrees, which is, and it's real fast.
Yeah, I would think so.
But last night, upon recommendation of Rich, my
favorite server, I had a sous vide.
Shout out to Rich.
Shout out with a Y.
I had a sous vide chicken that was
flash fried.
And I'm not a fan of the, putting
your food in a warm bathtub for 18
hours.
It was quite tasty.
Oh, sous vide, I've had it, I don't
like it.
I'm totally with you on this.
I think sous vide's dangerous.
That's a dangerous method of cooking.
But I've had it a number of times,
and it's always fabulous.
Yeah, especially the flash fried.
And they were running around.
With that, what do they, sous vide the
thing so it's cooked and they fry it
after that?
Is it double cooked?
Exactly, just to get a nice crust around
it.
They also got into the habit now, they
are doing chicken fried deviled eggs.
That's an interesting meal.
I mean, it's in the egg book.
TooManyEggs.com.
Is it in the egg book?
It should be in the egg book.
Is it in the egg book?
I'm pretty sure it is.
TooManyEggs.com.
Anyway, Friedhelm's, that's the Bavarian place.
Although they just jacked up their prices recently.
It's insane here, I'm telling you, it's no
good.
Stay away.
I don't know why they do this.
They do this in Port Angeles, Washington.
It's the same thing.
These restaurants think they're in New York City.
They don't have the same overhead as they
do in Manhattan.
It's the same price as Manhattan.
It's the same price or higher in some
places.
Yeah, it's no good.
It's no good.
No good.
And people keep coming.
Oh, it's so cute here, Fredericksburg.
Let's go to a winery.
You mean the drinking barn?
Okay.
There are some wineries here.
Actual wineries, but few and far between.
So the trolls are listening at trollroom.io.
It is working again.
Thank you very much to Void Zero and
the crew for getting that up and running.
And CodeMonkey, I think he's the one that
was responsible for fixing it.
Of course, you can listen on the modern
podcast apps, podcastapps.com.
We recommend you do that so you get
a bat signal notification when we go live.
These are the only apps that actually do
live, which is kind of cool.
All the other apps, you're waiting around for
hours, and you don't get anything live.
Even when we post it, it can take
a long time.
So use a modern podcast app at podcastapps
.com.
Value for value is, I explained this to
the kids yesterday.
They were like, really, I don't need ads?
Yeah, no, they were all in it.
They liked the value for value idea.
They thought that was cool.
That's not a new idea.
But they're 24.
What do they know?
Churches have been using it.
They go to church, it sounds like to
me.
Every single one of them.
Well, then they know value for value.
When I said, do you know who the
king is?
They went, oh yeah, Jesus, my Lord and
Savior.
No, I'm talking about Elvis.
No, no, Mr. Curry, you're wrong.
Yeah, they understand the value for value model.
But it's good to call it value for
value.
And I sent them to our website, value4value
.info, so they can really understand the new
international lifestyle that we have created.
I find it hard to believe that those
kids didn't know who Elvis Presley was.
I'm telling you.
They were like, uh, no.
When you think about it, I mean, I
barely witnessed Elvis alive, barely.
What did he die in, 73, 74?
So I was 10.
I remember my mom crying.
So it's really three generations removed.
Yeah, no wonder they don't know who Elvis
is.
I mean, you even, we're only one generation
removed, boomer, and you have references that I
don't know about.
Yeah, so anyway, we like the value for
value model because people can help us in
many ways.
For instance, try and help us with an
exit strategy by typing something into chat GPT
and sending it to me.
It's very valuable.
Thank you, Scott.
Appreciate it.
Or you can type in something nonsensical into
an AI and create art for us because
that's all it is.
And no one does it better.
Well, Darren O'Neill's pretty good, but Francisco
Scaramanga, a two-in-a-row choice for
his AI-generated artwork.
Let's see if he gets the hat trick,
though.
For episode 1783, we titled that, Dadgum.
And by the way, Dadgum, I got something
on Dadgum.
I bet you did.
Well, that's Tim Burchett, who said the Dadgum.
Then we got a note from Tom in
Georgia.
When I saw the title for Sunday's show,
I immediately thought about my friend Tim Burchett,
and I was right.
Tim and I grew up together in Knoxville,
Tennessee.
We played in the creek, looking for salamanders
and crawdaddies.
He kept exotic animals like piranhas and caiman
and alligators in his bedroom.
We also used to go rolling neighbor's trees.
I don't know what that is.
What is rolling the neighbor's trees?
I have no idea.
He got into government service after Knox County
unfairly targeted him and the business he started.
One of the first bills he sponsored in
Tennessee was a roadkill bill, which made it
legal for you to keep any animal that
you happened to run over with your car,
and you could take it home and eat
it.
That's legal in Washington State.
As it should be.
As it should be.
He has remained true to himself and hasn't
seen the need to be someone different than
who he is.
He's a wonderful East Tennessee.
His wonderful East Tennessee colloquialisms are genuine as
is he.
Thanks and God bless from Tom in Georgia.
Yeah, well, we liked him.
Somebody else wrote in and said that we
missed the joke that he sounds exactly like
Foghorn Leghorn.
Oh, he does.
I don't know about exactly, but yeah, he
definitely has some of that.
But what a joke.
All the kids would be, huh?
Huh?
Who's Foghorn what?
Huh?
Come on, they still play those old cartoons.
I'm very concerned about us.
Why?
Because our audience is- We have a
niche audience of people that are connoisseurs of
the old days.
Oh, is that it?
Okay, hang with us, folks.
Hang with us.
We'll drag you to the end.
Cowabunga.
Dude.
Wow, cowabunga, dude.
Even my daughter was like, well, that's okay,
boomer.
Okay, boomer.
Scaramanga made a, I don't even know why
we like this, a horse poster of a
horse podcasting now with true crimes.
Were we on drugs?
What were we smoking?
No, it's because it was so ludicrous.
Yeah.
Was there really nothing else that we liked?
There wasn't anything that compared to the ludicrous
aspect of a horse that was podcasting.
It's kind of, it's a call back to
the other, the podcasting all over the place,
these podcasters.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, but there's literally nothing good.
It's all just like, eh, okay.
Like Darren O'Neill has a chick on
a computer screen saying, take a nap, boomer.
Come on, Darren, do better.
What else was there?
Me kissing you on the kiss cam.
Yeah, that's not going to be artwork.
That's for sure.
A lot of dad gums, but none of
them really funny.
So what's that in your mouth?
Dad gum.
Did that come in later?
That's kind of funny.
But yeah, and everything's orange.
The whole page is orange.
I think the orange thing is getting to
be problematic.
It's all orange.
The people are orange, the hair is orange.
Fading toward blue would be better than orange.
Everything's orange.
The faces are orange.
The Macron brothers.
Did that just come in?
That's for today.
Yeah, there you go.
We're going to get sued.
Awesome.
No one's getting sued.
Thank you very much, Francisco Scaramanga.
And he also automates them later on X,
which is kind of cool.
As part of the value for value.
Can we not submit automated pieces on this?
On the art generator?
If they're GIFs, yeah, and they'll work.
I don't know that it accepts a GIF
because it turns everything to a ping.
A pinge?
A pinge?
Ping, P-I-N-G.
I don't know.
No, no, just P-N-G.
Pinge.
Pinge.
There's no G-E.
There's no E.
There's no pinge.
Pinge, pinge, pinge, pinge.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We should.
Let's talk to Noah Jenner, art generator producer.
Another fine, Mr. Paul Couture, another fine value
for value piece of work, and we appreciate
it.
We know once, here's the deal.
I guarantee it.
Once the AI can do animated GIFs.
Oh, it will have a whole new level
of artwork.
The whole page.
Yeah.
There'll be a point in the next year
where the entire page of art generated stuff
from AI on this page will be all
moving.
Okay.
Well, Mr. Paul Couture, we'd love to see
that happen.
I don't think he listens to the show
anymore.
Because I think in all of the...
Like Brunetti.
I don't think Brunetti listens to the show
anymore.
We still credit him with the tip of
the day.
And by the way, great production, Dana Brunetti,
as you let John repeat a tip of
the day.
What kind of producer are you?
There's no evidence of this.
There is evidence of this.
Yes.
The leather thing, you've done it as a
tip of the day.
Even the tip of the day.
One person said this, I can't find it.
The guy who does the tip of the
day website.
I didn't see it.
No.
What's the name of that product again?
Lies.
What's the name of that product again?
Leather Honey.
Leather Honey.
I'm telling you, you've done it before.
No, you're mouthing.
You're repeating what somebody else said.
Okay, well Mimi reminded me that I have
a rotation for these tips and this is
the cleaning product that I do every couple
of months.
Another cleaning product.
Beautiful.
Another cleaning product because people need cleaning products.
People always can use a good cleaning product.
So that was 1773.
It wasn't even that long ago.
No, it was a cleaning product.
It wasn't the same product.
Yes, it is.
Leather Honey is a conditioner.
Listen.
This is a good one.
It's been tested.
This is Leather Honey.
Boom.
Leather Honey.
And that was episode 1773.
Well, you should have caught it on the
fly.
I thought, this is Dana Brunetti's job.
He's fired.
Or find the executive producer or whatever he
doesn't want to be called.
No, he was.
Anyway.
Yeah.
So what we'd like to do, we'd like
to do is, wow, is this number right?
As we thank our executive producers, $50 and
above.
Is this top number right?
Yeah.
Really?
You okay?
You're coughing.
No, I'm not.
I'm kind of choking.
Maybe you can take the first one because
I need to.
Well, you caught me off guard there because
I never take the first one.
But yeah, we got a guy who came
in with $3,333.33, which is a
Rubberlizer donation.
India, hang out, Mike.
Standby.
33, 33, 33.
Rubberlizer out.
Wow.
Is he one of the boomers we're saving?
I don't know.
Who is this?
This is note here.
Wait, is this, let me see.
This is, oh man.
After writing this, all money not going to
my knighthood should go to the Preserve Adams
Tucker Laugh Fund.
Okay, that's a new fund.
Exit strategy, Adams Tucker, Preserve Adams Tucker Laugh
Fund.
Can you do it?
I just did it.
Yeah, but there you go.
Yeah.
To Adam and John, first time, this is
by the way, the donor, His name is,
Just plain Kevin, and he is in Portland,
Oregon, which I think is great that we
get a donation from Portland, Oregon.
First time, the first time, big time, not
a boner, born in 79.
Not a boomer.
Not a boomer.
Oh, I said, I said not a boner.
Not a boomer, born in 79.
Since I've started listening, then he's got some
little signal here.
I don't know what it is.
Is that two and a half years ago,
I think?
Two and a half?
I can't tell.
I don't know.
I've taken it all in, including your love
of short notes.
Huh?
Uh-huh.
India Tango Mike.
Call in the airstrike, John.
The airstrike request.
Love you too, Kevin, Portland, Oregon.
P.S. I'd like to be known as
Sir Kevin, and keeper of the SPI?
Speck?
SPI?
I don't know if it's SPI or Speck.
I think it's.
We've got it down below too.
It says, I think below it says.
This is very hard to read.
His writing is terrible.
Spattle, Spattle G, Spattle G is my 11
-year-old.
Yes, SPI is my 11-year-old black
lab.
SPI.
Oh, okay.
It was dying of cancer.
Aw.
Aw.
This is for us.
She listens to every show.
Oh, that's right.
This is the dog that listens to the
show intently.
Hello, SPI.
Hello, SPI.
SPI?
SPI?
Woof, woof.
Come here, SPI.
Woof, come here, come here.
Good doggie.
I'm gonna do an F cancer for SPI,
even though he didn't ask for it.
I just want to throw that out there.
You've got karma.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Kevin.
And give him the, the.
I did, I did.
I'll do it again.
No, the airstrike.
India.
What?
The airstrike.
What's the airstrike?
Don't we have a jingle that's an airstrike
or something comes in and bombs something?
No, you're hallucinating like Chad GPT.
Well, it just said it on here and
I'm pretty sure we have one.
No.
Okay.
No, we don't.
Well, good.
Okay, well, we got out.
Yeah, he's got his.
Anyway, great.
Thanks for this donation.
Yeah, thank you very much.
Tynan.
It made our day.
Tynan or Tynan, Tynan Rebich, Marysville, Washington.
What do you think it is?
Tynan?
I think Tynan.
Adam and John, I hope this message finds
you well.
Yes, a lot of people are doing this
now.
Any emails?
I hope this, I actually sent a memo
this morning and ended it with thank you
for your attention to this matter.
Yeah, perfect.
I'm a 22 year old welder.
Ah, now we're talking.
He supports us with $1,000 today.
I love it.
Just thought I'd mention that because you guys
do on the show now and then.
Yes, we talk about welding all the time.
Anyway, I couldn't come up with a catchy
welding related night name, so I'm going to
go with Sir Sigma.
If it's unavailable, Sir Steezy.
Well, Sir Sigma is fine.
If it pleases the peerage committee.
It pleases the peerage committee.
I'll have Korean fried chicken and a Corona
with lime at the round table, please.
I'll keep listening as long as you keep
putting it out.
18 more years.
Yeah, dream on.
Thank you very much, Tynan.
Very well, you know.
And we will be knighting you in a
bit.
Onward with Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility,
333.33. And he wrote in a note
himself.
Another is a check.
In the morning, boys, keeping it simple.
No jingles, no karma.
Sincerely, Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility, Earl
of the Lands of the Red Clay and
the Cherry Trees.
Beautiful.
Anonymous comes in with 333.33. That's one
of our favorite donations.
We always like that one.
And Anonymous says, Dear John and Ava, if
you read my real name live, stop reading
now.
Nope, we didn't.
I have been listening for over a decade
and have donated before, but not enough.
Thank you for both providing an outside, the
bubble point of view for all these years.
I've taken the value for value model to
heart and started a sub stack with a
group called Canadian Value Investors.
It's focused on value-oriented investing ideas and
company overviews, some actually being no agenda inspired.
We just donated $333 US dollars, not Canadian
pesos, and set up a 33.33.33
promo, 33% discount for the subscriber, 33
% for us, and 33% for both
of you after Canadian taxes.
And the link is CanadianValueInvestors.com slash no
agenda.
Thank you both again for all of your
work.
P.S. Please play a 33 magic number
jingle.
33, that's a magic number.
33, it's the magic number.
Ah, next is the Larry Show, our buddy
at the Larry Show.
Ah, fuck, hey, there, this is working again.
Ah, that's, that's Larry, Larry, Larry.
This is another check that came in.
This is Larry.
Very smart, because he knows the checks very
great.
233.33, it is I, Larry, 100%
of that LarryShow.com and 50% of
the Planet Rage Show.
That's with Darren.
The other half, of course, is Darren O
'Neill, author of The Brilliant Idea, a national
meetup.
Oh, brother.
Ha, ha, ha.
You're...
Oh, brother.
Magniliquent.
Magniliquent duet has toiled for 17 years.
Isn't it time?
There must be a national meetup for no
agenda.
This is the way you would say it.
This is the way you'd talk.
There must be a national meetup.
No, no, you, Larry, Larry doesn't talk like
that.
See, he...
No, but this is the way I would
do it.
He would go, there must be a national
meetup for no agenda, because I'm Larry.
That's the kind of voice he has.
And his weirdly alluring cousin, Planet Rage.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, there she is.
Oh, yeah.
They want the handover.
That's what they want.
Then we...
Yeah, nice try, chumps.
And we deputize you guys.
Yeah, good try, chumps.
Okay.
Darren suggests the serene suburbs of centrally located
Chicago.
Gee, I wonder why.
Slated sometime from mid-September to October after
the summer heat and well before the icy
roads and frostbite.
There, no agenda nation will convene for the
biggest gathering ever.
An event to live forever is a glorious
milestone of the sordid annals...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Annals of the world's greatest and longest running
show.
There's one more thing to do.
There's more to it.
Oh.
Ideas for content game and Tom Boolery.
I think we should do bingo.
Bingo would work.
B2.
It's already late July.
We're working on plans, but it cannot happen
without crackpot and buzzkill.
Life is short.
Carpe diem.
Say yes.
As always, thanks for the peerless content and
God bless Larry.
You know, what a perfect opportunity for a
drone strike.
It's like, I don't think.
Yeah.
It's exactly what would happen.
There's those annoying guys from no agenda and
all of their fans.
Let's drone them.
Take out the whole show and fandom.
Let's drone them all.
Many times throughout the history of the show
have people suggested a national meetup and we've
come to the conclusion, a couple of conclusions.
One, the only place to do this where
you could get a room big enough is
Vegas with enough lights.
It has to be Vegas.
Yeah, it has to be Vegas, a convention
town.
Now that's dangerous for a number of reasons.
John and I, of course, are recovering gambling
addicts.
So we don't think that's a good idea.
That's not true.
And what everyone always wants is what we
won't do.
Because if you say, well, what do you
want to have happen?
Besides what do we all wear?
Funny hats and masks.
We all fist bump each other.
I think what would work, and I'd be
just beside myself to even suggest this because
I wouldn't want to do it, is one
of these clone meetups where you have a
bunch of speakers and they're up there yakking
about one thing or another.
Yeah, we should invite Scott Horton, Dave Smith.
Yeah, all those guys.
They all have 45 minutes.
You know?
No, what everybody wants, it always comes down
to the same thing.
This always kills the idea.
Yeah, you guys can do the show live
on stage.
Oh yeah, that's the idea killer.
That's always what they want to see.
That's it.
I think I would rather do raise half
a million dollars and we'll turn the cameras
on for one show.
And you'll be sorry is what will happen.
I like the idea.
I like the idea that you, we should
just have everyone come in, everybody does the
show except us.
We do the show that Sunday.
That would be great.
We do the show.
Do that, yeah, and have it just, yeah,
screens.
Well, no, we do the show that Sunday
from our individual hotel rooms, audio only.
And everybody else does their show on stage.
Okay, this is going nowhere.
Kira Reid is in, is it Assonet or
Assonet?
What do you think, Massachusetts?
I would say Assonet.
Assonet, 210 and 60 cents.
I hope this message finds you well.
First off, thank you both for keeping our
amygdalas small.
After two years of sustaining donations at the
magic number of 3333, today's donation of $200
officially takes me to Damehood.
However, I'd like to pull a switcheroo and
instead, yep, switcheroo.
Instead, turn it into a nighting and a
de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
For my smoking hot husband, Jonathan Reid, and
he also has a birthday.
Oh, it doesn't, he's getting crazy over here.
I know he's on the birthday list.
I'll check in a moment.
The associate executive producership, of course.
I hit him in the mouth, he married
me, and we've never had a fight.
Well, there you go.
I can't imagine going through life punching people
in the mouth without you.
She's saying that to Jonathan.
You are truly my knight in shining armor.
For the time being, let him be known
as Sir We The People's Beefcake, name change
to follow.
For the round table, he'd love a cold
Pepsi and Swiss rolls.
What are Swiss rolls?
I have no idea.
Sandwich rolls, like bread bowl rolls?
And don't forget to add him to the
birthday list for this show, 7-24, happy
birthday, baby.
Could I get him a de-douching?
We just did the de-douching.
Then she also wants a boogity, boogity, boogity,
and a goat karma.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
ITM, Ms. Kara Reid from Taxachusetts.
♪ Boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity
♪ ♪ It's the drive that's been beautiful
tonight, baby ♪ ♪ All along the bimby
truck ♪ You've got karma.
And I checked, he's on the list.
Eli the Coffee Guy in Bensonville, Illinois is
on the list with 207-24.
He's, one of the great things he says
that I love about the New Agenda is
that you two have some of the best
stories.
Adam, I know you just told the Ozzy
Osbourne, Please, this story recently, but do you
have another one?
And then actually Adam anticipated this note and
gave us the story at the beginning of
the show.
Yep.
I may be more of a hip hop
guy, but I still have respect for the
rock and roll legend.
By the way, did you guys know Ozzy
was allergic to coffee?
Wait, Eli the coffee guy killed Ozzy Osbourne?
Even so, he still enjoyed a good cup
of black gold in the morning.
You can too.
I'm out.
Just visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use the code
ITM20 for 20% off your order.
That's gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.
Stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee guy.
Very nice.
Jim comes in from Massachusetts with a Bitcoin
donation.
This note is for my donation of 0
.0017 Bitcoin, $200.
Thank you for your constant hard work to
decipher and shed light on what is happening
in the world through your media deconstruction, Jim
says.
It's always interesting and entertaining.
I also appreciate the not infrequent exhortations to
not become agitated about narratives we see in
the news.
Not only is a lot of it intended
to outrage for some agenda, there's so much
more happening of important in the real world
that we can have a great impact upon.
Finally, I'll give a shameless plug for God,
who made the cosmos and everything in it,
who placed in my heart a moral standard
and the ability to see I and the
world far short of it.
But who, because he is who he is,
also provide the solution for the penalty and
power of evil, a solution we desperately need
in the form of Jesus, the deliverer, for
everyone who would acknowledge their need.
Prayers for the both of you and the
whole No Agenda community.
From Jim from Massachusetts.
Thank you, Jim.
Appreciate that.

I'm sorry.
I was so excited about another Bitcoin donation.
You're right, it's not on the list.
Yeah, another one that didn't show up at

I have a 3x3 that relates to our
earlier segment.
And now it's time for 3x3.
He's on the ball.
Experiment by JC Dean.
Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC.
The never ending 3x3.
Let's see any other podcast do that on
the time top 100.
Top 100 best podcasts most influential.
Those lists are useless.
Nobody goes to those podcasts.
You know what they did?
You click on the link for each podcast.
There's not even a link to the podcast.
It's an empty list.
It's just a list of an icon.
You can't even click to listen.
I know.
Let's start with ABC.
ABC is up first in the 3x3 for
today's show, kids.
Tonight as the White House struggles to turn
the page from the Epstein investigation, the Justice
Department announcing they will speak with Jeffrey Epstein's
former companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, who's now serving a
20-year prison sentence for trafficking underage girls
to the sex offender.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who until recently
was President Trump's personal attorney, says he plans
to meet with Maxwell soon, saying if Ghislaine
Maxwell has information about anyone who committed crimes
against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will
hear what she has to say.
For years, Trump socialized with Epstein and Maxwell
and was asked about her when she was
arrested in 2020.
Do you feel that she's going to turn
in powerful men?
How do you see that working out?
I don't know.
I haven't really been following it too much.
I just wish her well, frankly.
In an interview with Axios shortly after, he
doubled down.
Mr. President, Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested on
allegations of child sex trafficking.
Why would you wish such a person well?
Well, first of all, I don't know that,
but I do know that- She has.
She's been arrested for that.
Her friend or boyfriend- Epstein.
Was either killed or committed suicide in jail.
She's now in jail.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, I wish her well.
I'd wish you well.
I'd wish a lot of people well.
Good luck.
Trump's efforts to shake the Epstein case have
only increased scrutiny of their friendly relationship for
more than a decade.
Epstein was asked about it in a 2010
deposition in a civil suit.
Have you ever had a personal relationship with
Donald Trump?
What do you mean by personal relationships?
Have you socialized with him?
Yes, sir.
Yes?
Yes, sir.
Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in
the presence of females under the age of
18?
Though I'd like to answer that question, at
least today, I'm going to have to assert
my 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendment rights.
When Epstein was arrested in 2019, Trump said
they'd had a falling out and hadn't spoken
in 15 years.
Wow.
I hadn't heard that.
Did I miss that audio somewhere?
They dug that one up on ABC.
They're going after Trump, ABC.
Well, they got the gays running after him
on the Kimmel show, so yeah.
It's all gays.
It's the gays against Trump.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, let's go to CBS.
In announcing plans to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell,
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says he wants
to ask, What do you know?
And he plans to do so because no
lead is off limits.
Maxwell is the former girlfriend and co-conspirator
of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a one
-time associate of President Trump who died by
suicide almost six years ago as he faced
more federal charges.
The push to speak with Maxwell comes as
Trump- Wait, hold on a second.
They were acquaintances.
He wasn't an associate.
He didn't work for Trump.
They didn't work.
Sounds good.
An associate.
They used the word associate instead of acquaintance.
Are they massaging the message?
I think they're doing a little trickery there
with that use of the word associate.
Massaging the massage.
I'm associate of President Trump who died by
suicide almost six years ago as he faced
more federal charges.
The push to speak with Maxwell comes as
Trump, under pressure from loyal supporters, wants all
credible evidence in the case released.
But today, he claimed he didn't know about
plans to talk to Maxwell.
I don't know anything about it.
They're going to what?
Meet her?
Deputy Attorney General has reached out to Ghislaine
Maxwell's attorney asking for a new interview.
I don't know about it, but I think
it's something that sounds appropriate to do.
Blanche is a former federal prosecutor who also
represented Trump last year in his so-called
hush money trial.
Do you have any concern that your Deputy
Attorney General, who's your former attorney, would be
conducting the interview given- No, no.
He's a very talented person.
Seeking to divert attention from the Epstein case,
Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason
for how he and his administration investigated allegations
of Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
It's time to go after people.
Maxwell is appealing her conviction for sex trafficking
to the- What did he say?
Did they just throw like a nat pop
in there?
Trump saying, it's time to go after people.
President Barack Obama of treason for how he
and his administration investigated allegations of Russian interference
in the 2016 elections.
It's time to go after people.
Maxwell is appealing her conviction for sex trafficking
to the Supreme Court.
That's good.
She spoke to CBS Paramount's See It Now
studios in August 2022.
Meeting Epstein was the greatest mistake of my
life and obviously if I could go back
today, I would avoid meeting him.
Tom Dupree is a former senior Justice Department
official.
Well, this is very unusual and look, it's
an effort by the Justice Department to at
least create the appearance that they are continuing
to pursue the Epstein case.
My guess is that there's a political calculation
in this, that by pushing forward hard on
Maxwell to try to get that additional information,
they perhaps can reduce some of the pressure
on the administration to release the Epstein files
as a whole.
Here's what we need.
I just realized it's time for the Oprah
Julee Maxwell interview.
That's what we're looking for here.
Well, that would do something.
Yeah, that would give the people something.
The people need something, they're hungry.
She would start off by saying, we spoke
with Julee Maxwell at her penitentiary and here
it is unedited.
Unedited, we cut out the bits about me
and Stedman.
Where is Stedman, by the way?
I want to know where Stedman is.
What's up with that guy?
And where's the rest of Oprah?
What did you do with the rest of
her?
And then she'd say, you can make up
your own mind.
It should be something open-ended like that.
Yeah, that's how you do it.
And Julee will cry.
Oh, yeah, she has to.
Gotta cry.
Gotta cry.
Keep it in the family.
Yeah, keep it in the family.
Okay, last clip.
Tonight, Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing her top
deputy expects to meet soon with Ghislaine Maxwell,
the convicted accomplice of notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey
Epstein.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posting, President Trump
has told us to release all credible evidence.
If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who
committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the
DOJ will hear what she has to say.
It's the latest effort by the Trump administration
to defuse the uproar among some Trump supporters
over the handling of the DOJ files on
Epstein.
President Trump today saying he would support it.
I don't know about it, but I think
it's something that would be, sounds appropriate to
do, yeah?
It's sort of a witch hunt, just a
continuation of the witch hunt.
Hours later, the House Oversight Committee approved a
Republican-led motion to subpoena Maxwell.
She wants to tell us who all is
going to Epstein Island.
I think that would be interesting.
Tonight, the House Speaker, Republican Mike Johnson, says
he'll send lawmakers home early for their summer
break, delaying any votes demanded by Democrats and
some Republicans that would call for the release
of more Epstein files.
They were actually ending this week early because
they're afraid to cast votes on the Jeffrey
Epstein issue.
We should release the Epstein files.
Johnson slamming it as political games.
The Democrats are trying to play gotcha politics
right now.
Has anyone forgotten?
They had all these files the entire time.
They sat on everything Epstein-related for four
long years while President Biden was in office.
Last week, the Justice Department asked a federal
court to unseal secret grand jury records in
the Epstein case.
Today, the judges said they need more information
to make a ruling.
Tonight, Maxwell's lawyer confirmed discussions with the DOJ,
thanking President Trump, quote, for his commitment to
uncovering the truth in this case.
But some Democrats argue Maxwell, who's appealing her
20-year sentence, may be looking for a
presidential pardon.
Oh.
Somebody got that part of it right.
Finally, there you go.
Looking for a pardon.
Yeah, that's what you do.
The whole thing's a scam.
And talking about the do-nothing operation.
Hold on, John C.
Dvorak, johnatdvorak.org, with your whole thing's a
scam.
The whole thing's a scam.
My favorite guy in Congress that is the
worst of the worst, Republican do-nothing, is
Comer.
Yeah.
Comer does these investigations.
He has these people.
He's the one who has all these guys
coming in for the Biden investigation.
They're all taking the fifth.
Yeah.
And he's the one who's, if you remember,
oh, we're getting to the bottom of those
Hunter Biden laptop.
We've connected the dots.
We see all the money.
All the money for the Biden crime family's
gone.
What's gone?
No.
China, Burisma.
Where's Snowden?
Yeah.
How about Julian Assange?
All of it.
It's just like nothing comes of any of
it.
So when people say we're living in the
matrix, it's kind of true.
I mean, all we do is just go
from scandal to scandal to scandal.
We're whipsawed around.
Oh, look over here.
Oh, look over here.
And we get tired.
And let's give them phones so we can
get it to them all the time.
When they wake up first thing in the
morning, you'll see more of this.
You go to bed, you're watching more of
it.
You dream about it.
It's all the same thing.
I wonder how many people that listen to
this show or any show go to bed.
The last thing they do is they look
at their phone and check their mail.
99%.
I think it's a lot.
Yeah.
That's 99%.
Well, that's a lot.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure of it.
And it's the worst.
No.
No.
Does Tina?
Nope.
Nope.
In fact, we.
Well, I know I don't because my phone's
in the drawer downstairs.
We enter the bedroom and the phones are
out, as in they're face down, on silent.
They're on silent, but they're in the room.
Well, unlike you, we use them as our
alarm.
And in case of an emergency, we'll have.
Oh.
If the power goes out, we'll have a
flashlight and an emergency communications device.
So I won't have to hug the wall
like you do.
So it's the last time the power went
out on you.
Well, I have a generator, so it would
only be for 30 seconds.
Oh, so you don't need it at all
for what you just said.
But I'm answering the question.
We do not.
And in the morning when we get up,
we do not look at our phones.
We do our Bible study first for about
45 minutes or an hour.
And then we look at our phones as
we're prepared for the day.
Sounds like the same thing to me.
I have one offbeat clip I want to
play.
Before you move away, I have a little
Trump Epstein Obama clip.
Oh, OK.
I understand the subject.
It has a little gotcha in there, what
I just thought was interesting.
No, I have no concern.
He's a very talented person.
He's very smart.
I didn't know that they were going to
do it.
I don't really follow that too much.
It's sort of a witch hunt.
Just a continuation of the witch hunt.
The witch hunt that you should be talking
about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold.
Tulsi Gabbard.
What they did to this country in 2016,
starting in 2016, but going up all the
way, going up to 2020 of the election.
They tried to rig the election and they
got caught.
And there should be very severe consequences for
that.
You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I
said, you know what?
Let's not let's not go too far here.
It's the ex-wife of a president.
And I thought it was sort of terrible.
What?
The ex-wife of a president?
That's an interesting gaffe.
Do you think he meant the wife of
an ex-president, but he said the ex
-wife of a president instead?
Yeah, well, that's what he did.
You'd have to assume that.
Yeah.
Anyway, unless Clinton's dead.
I just thought it was an interesting.
Yeah, that was a good catch.
Gaffe.
Interesting gaffe.
All right.
That was it.
On to your weird clip.
Okay.
Here's the I try to do these stories
that are not picked up by the media,
which seemed to me if I was the
editor or editor in chief of some major
operation, some network or a.
Greg Gutfeld, please call John C.
DeVore.
I'm not talking about a comedy show.
I'm talking about the editor of a Metro
Daily.
I would do these stories.
Metro Daily?
What era?
There's no Metro Dailies anymore.
Yeah, there is.
The New York Times, a Metro Daily.
The New York Post, a Metro Daily.
New San Francisco Examiner or Chronicles, a Metro
Daily.
Los Angeles Times.
I can go on.
All right.
Untold L.A. juvie.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday that
he plans to ask a judge to let
the state take control of L.A. County's
juvenile halls.
He pointed to ongoing problems at the Los
Padrinos facility in Downey, including youth fights and
drug overdoses.
Bonta called the situation a system failure that
put lives at risk.
He's asking the court to appoint a receiver
to manage the troubled facilities after years of
failed reforms and continued safety issues.
Bonta says the county has ignored court orders
since 2021 and remains out of compliance with
75 percent of them.
This receiver would manage budgets, staffing and daily
operations at the Los Padrinos and Barry J.
Nidor facilities.
The facilities have faced repeated criticism, including criminal
charges against officers for staging youth fights and
a contractor caught smuggling Xanax.
In March, 30 probation officers were charged for
allegedly staging so-called the gladiator fights between
youths while they watched.
However, the probation department's labor union, the L
.A. County Board of Supervisors, saying the crisis
stems from ignored warnings, hiring freezes and outsourcing
public safety.
Wow.
Working well there.
That juvie.
I thought this was.
I'm listening to the story and this thing.
Well, this is a stage fight club, basically.
Juvie gladiator fights amongst the kids.
OK, you kids on this side, we're going
to want you to take on this.
Can you.
And they're watching and probably betting on the
fights and the outcomes.
And they're probably getting turned on by it.
These creeps is out of control.
Yeah.
And that's a story that should have national
be all over the place.
But the Metro City Desk reporters, they're at
the fights betting on it.
So they're not going to do a story
on that.
That's my untold story for today.
OK, then I will just pop in here
with a little bit of climate change because
change.
We're all going to die.
First of all, it's that time of year
again, everybody.
And I just want to give you a
heads up as well.
The hottest part of the country today will
actually be really across the Corn Belt.
This is where we grow the majority of
our corn.
And the reason I bring this up is
because it's that time of year again.
Corn sweats.
Yes, it really does.
It's just like our human bodies sweating and
evaporating that heat off of our bodies.
Well, corn actually absorbs and brings up moisture
from the ground.
It takes the water through its stock, starts
to sweat, and then that evaporates.
And it actually increases the humidity levels in
this area.
So, John, very interesting that the Corn Belt
will see the most oppressive heat today with
triple index heat indices.
And did you know that corn, one acre
of corn, can actually sweat 4,000 gallons
of water into the atmosphere?
That's enough to fill your pool in less
than a week.
Someone's getting cornholed today.
Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
Yeah, corn sweat is back.
We track that every year, a little bit
of corn sweat.
And in the Netherlands, in The Hague, at
the big international criminal court of justice or
whatever, a whole bunch of very solemn-looking
old men and women walking in like a
star panel.
Oh, we have decided that if you don't
take climate change seriously, you are liable as
a country, as leaders of a country.
We're going to lock you up.
Failure of a state to take appropriate action
to protect the climate system from GHG emissions
may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is
attributable to that state.
The court president added that such wrongful acts
could include a state's production or consumption of
fossil fuels, the granting of exploration permits or
subsidies.
Such international wrongful acts, as the court opined,
can inflict injury on other states in the
form of dangerous climate events, making polluters financially
liable.
Full reparation to injured states.
The opinion was requested by the island nation
of Vanuatu, backed by a coalition of 130
countries after a concerted youth campaign.
Pacific islands are among those bearing the brunt
of climate chaos, caused by the stay-high
emissions, historic and ongoing, of the United States,
Europe and China, among others.
The opinion joins a growing mass of precedent,
with domestic courts finding both the French and
Dutch states' climate inaction unlawful in the past
six years.
COP 27 secured the creation of a global
loss and damage fund to compensate developing countries,
but pledges currently stand at $790 million, for
a crisis whose impacts are estimated in the
hundreds of billions.
They're going after money.
All the little Caribbean islands, like, hey, we
can get some money.
They're losing tourists, I guess.
And the Secretary General of the United Nations,
Antonio Guterres, he made a very bold statement.
He told us that renewables are now cheaper
and more efficient than fossil fuels, and all
technology, all data centers should be using renewable
energy.
Stop using fossil fuels.
Throughout history, energy has shaped the destiny of
humankind, from mastering fire, to harnessing steam, to
splitting the atmosphere.
Now we are on the cusp of a
new era.
Fossil fuels are running out of roads, and
the sun is rising on a clean energy
age.
I call on every major tech firm to
power all data centers with 100% renewables
by 2070.
And along with other industries, they must use
water sustainably in cooling systems.
The future is being built in the cloud.
It must be powered by the sun, the
wind, and the promise of a better world.
Okay.
Dream on, buddy.
All data centers powered by solar panels.
Can you imagine?
Yeah.
Hello, Chad, GBT.
It shuts down right away.
And the final two clips I have for
today's deconstruction bonanza are Miranda Devine, who has
a podcast.
It's called like Post Force One or something.
She's from the New York Post.
And she had a great get.
She had Scott Besant.
Scott Besant is one of those guys you
have to edit a lot, because he's terrible.
He's terrible.
Exactly.
But this is about the stable coin.
And for those of you who've been listening
to Noah Jenner's show for the past year,
you are well up to speed, and you
know exactly what's going on with the stable
coin.
And I want you to be able to
speak intelligently about it.
So here is two minutes of the stable
coin so you can understand what's happening and
be the envy of the office.
Because crypto, I mean, that seems to be
a threat to the dollar, doesn't it?
I think it's the opposite.
Oh, really?
I think stable coins could reinforce dollar supremacy,
because with stable coins, stable coins could end
up being one of the largest buyers of
U.S. treasuries or T-bills.
So all of a sudden, if you are
using a stable coin in Nigeria that's backed
by the U.S. dollar, you don't actually
have to have dollars.
It's on your phone.
You can transact.
So I think there's a very good chance
that crypto is actually one of the things
that locks in dollar supremacy.
And is that why it was crucial that
Donald Trump get involved in crypto rather than
trying to constrain it like Joe Biden was?
Well, I think constrain is too mild a
word.
I think make it extinct.
So this administration's commitment to digital assets, it's
innovation, because there's so many other things that
happen around digital assets.
And also, it's one of those things that
it's one of the most important phenomena that's
happening in the world, and the U.S.
just ignored it.
So that's your stable coin that will keep
the U.S. dollar dominance running for another,
I don't know, four or five years.
I'm not sure.
More than that.
But let me ask you a question based
on what he said.
Now, a stable coin represents a stored-value
dollar someplace, usually in the form of a
treasury.
Yeah, pretty much always.
So there's a dollar.
We'll call it dollar X.
Yes.
And there's a stable coin that represents that
dollar.
Yes.
So there's one-to-one.
That stable coin and that dollar are interlinked.
Yes.
What's that got to do with crypto?
Nothing.
Why did he say crypto?
He said crypto.
Because it's a bait-and-switch and a
scam, and President Trump lied, lied to the
Bitcoin community.
Oh, I'm going to create a Bitcoin treasury.
Oh, Bitcoin.
It's all going to be Bitcoin.
But remember, when I played those clips from
him at the Bitcoin conference, he said, end
stable coin.
And that was always the gambit, and get
everyone on board.
And now with this next bill, which should
be voted on this coming week or next
week, it's going to literally allow any, as
we call it, shit coin in the universe
to be created, all kinds of nonsense, which
we put under the banner of tokenization.
And what we are doing, the very good
bill that may get voted on in the
Senate.
It's a very fine bill.
It's a very good, very fine bill.
Very fine bill.
Very fine bill.
And what we are doing, the very good
bill that may get voted on in the
Senate next week, week after, that will give
us, will bring crypto and digital assets and
make the U.S. the leader.
So just as we are the leader in
AI, just as we are the leader in
biomedicine, we will become the leader in this.
It's all things I hate, biomedicine, crypto, and
AI.
You know what he left out?
Quantum.
On the technology side, and here, led by
Treasury, led by some great leadership in the
Senate, and this is bipartisan.
There may be 16 Democrats who are going
to vote with Republicans on this bill.
So it tells you how the inclination toward
crypto was there.
It was just the White House, the previous
administration, wanted to kill it.
So once we get this bill passed, the
U.S., we can put our best standards
and practices out to the world.
It won't be something that happens in a
Caribbean island.
It won't be something that is used for
nefarious purposes or primarily used for nefarious purposes
in the Middle East.
This is all so disappointing.
Liars, liars.
President Trump lied.
It's lies.
I cannot support him anymore for anything.
Lies, I tell you.
You should have voted for Kamala.
Who says I voted for Trump?
I always vote for the rent-too-high
guy who didn't show up.
He's dead, I think, isn't he?
No, I don't think he's dead.
I thought he died.
We are unaffiliated, but I thought it was
great.
The President is like, this is going to
be Bitcoin, Bitcoin.
He wasn't saying Ethereum.
The more you talk about this, the more
I keep thinking, I've said it before, you
haven't really disagreed with me, that this is
a bypass, this is a cheap way to
get around SWIFT.
That's correct.
I told you that on the last show.
I told you that's what this is.
I think I told you and you told
me back.
Okay, you're the stablecoin genius of the show.
No, I'm not a stablecoin, but I just
see everything as a scam to get Russia
back into the scheme of things because they
can use stablecoins, they can't use SWIFT, and
it's cutting out the Europeans, getting rid of
these.
Yes, that's a big part of it.
Get them out of the picture.
They're annoying.
Luckily, there is one senator in the United
States Congress who has proposed the bill just
for you, John C.
Dvorak, your man, the hoodie of the hour.
Senator John Fetterman wants to make it illegal
for businesses to refuse cash as payment.
He introduced the Payment Choice Act last week.
That legislation requires businesses to accept cash or
provide a device that converts cash to a
prepaid card without fees.
The bill would also allow businesses to refuse
payments made with $50 bills or larger.
The city of Philadelphia banned cashless businesses back
in 2019.
The decision was designed to protect people who
do not have bank accounts or credit cards.
Or who keep their phone in a drawer.
Or whatever.
And there's a lot of people that like
cash.
Yes.
And Berkeley has a law against this too.
And the argument they use, of course, is
the pitiful, well, it's the poor homeless.
They haven't got a card.
What are they supposed to do when they
want to buy something?
They get some money.
They're out begging for money.
They're getting cash.
They don't have a little card reader on
them at the corner.
Oh, first of all, all homeless people today
have a phone, and all they need is
a QR code on their cup.
You can donate some.
A QR.
A QR.
Yeah, well, you know, maybe you should go
do some homeless outreach and get them to
get modernized.
Give them some stable coin.
Ha, we're doomed.
I'm going to show my soul by donating
to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
In the morning.
Yes, cash, the new Fedder coin.
All right, we have some good ender show
mixes coming up today.
I'm excited about them.
We have some meetups to discuss.
We have a couple of nights, and, of
course, John's tip of the day.
After we get through thanking our donors, the
rest of our list for today, $50 and
above.
Yeah, we don't have too many.
Oh, really?
Things have been grim.
Dreary.
I mean, we did get that $3,000
guy who saved the show.
Did save the show, for sure.
Now we have a random donation from Stripe
for $148.03. Dame Rita.
There she is.
Always at the top of the list.
107.24. She is in Sparks, Nevada.
And she said, great end of show mix
on episode.
That is the one that Nico did.
Yes, Nico Syme, indeed.
It was a very good one.
Which was a toe-tapper.
A super toe-tapper.
Zach and Blair in Lino, I'm not sure,
Massachusetts.
105.35. Please break for night, Sir Mark
of Gherkaland.
We'd like an F Cancer Karma for his
recent diagnosis and prayers for his healthy and
speedy recovery.
We can do that right now.
Could you like to do that?
Happy to do that.
You've got Karma.
Ian.
Ian.
Ian Field.
$100.
Another Stripe donation.
98.94. Kevin McLaughlin.
8008.
He's the Archduke Luna lover of American lover
of melons.
He sure is.
Nicholas Leary in Columbus, Ohio.
7272.
Matthew Elwhart in Weatherford, Texas.
6006 small boobs.
Les Tarkowski in Kingman, Arizona.
6006.
And then we have a couple.
Here we go.
More Stripes.
I hope this stuff starts showing up.
Good luck.
5903 and 5854.
Thank you both, whoever you were.
You're anonymous.
Which is how it works.
Bente Held Edlich.
Bente Held Edlich.
In Binnington, Switzerland.
Ah, we love the Swiss.
We do.
$58.
And he's got a happy birthday call to
Dame Dane who turns 58.
Yes.
Yeah, good man.
A very good man.
Robert Wicker in Jacksonville, Florida.
5510.
Scott Forrest Brinkley in North Canton, Ohio.
5272.
Henry Barron of Outpost West in Rancho Palos
Verdes, California.
5242.
Forrest Martin, 5005.
Andrew Benz in Imperial, Missouri.
5005.
And now we get to a few $50
donors.
Four of them, to be exact.
Alexa Delgado in Aptos.
Brett Denton in Boise.
Melissa Alvarez in Punta Vedra Beach, Florida.
And last on the short, short, short, short
list.
How short is it?
Short.
Sir Greg in Newport, North Carolina.
We want to thank these people for helping
us on show 1784.
And again, thanks to our executive and associate
executive producers for this episode.
And as always, you can support us by
going to noagendadonations.com.
We will not mention you under $50 for
reasons of anonymity.
Or you could just send us a whole
bunch of Bitcoin and we won't mention you
either.
We'll just thank Strike for it.
And of course, you can set up a
recurring donation, which is the OG way to
go with value for value.
Any amount, any frequency.
And, of course, numerology counts.
We love the special numbers that you put
together for us.
noagendadonations.com.
And we just heard from Bente Heldt-Edlich,
who wishes Dame Dane a very happy one.
She turns 58 on the 21st of July.
Kara Reid, her smoking hot husband, Jonathan, who
now becomes a knight.
He celebrates today.
Happy birthday to him.
And Angelina from Amsterdam sent a special note
for me to wish Sebastian a very happy
birthday.
He celebrates on the 30th of July, and
they're having a Noagenda meetup in Japan.
He's on his way, so he'll probably be
hearing this on the airplane.
He says, send love from me, Charlotte, and
Mirte.
His sisters love the show.
And that's it.
Happy birthday for everybody here at the Best
Podcasting in the Universe.
We congratulate our two PhDs for today as
the promotion winds down.
No crying after the end of July.
Kevin and Tynan Rebich, you can go to
noagenderings.com.
We have a special PhD tab for you
there.
Take a look at that beautiful, very, very
handsome PhD, Immediate Deconstruction Certificate.
All you have to do is tell us
exactly what name you want on it and
where to send it, and we'll send it
off to you post-haste.
And we do have three knights to bring
up on the round table, the Noagenda knights
and dames.
So here's a blade for me, if I
can have your blade, please.
Here you go.
Here's the big boy.
Beautiful.
The big boy is out.
Tynan Rebich, Tynan Rebich, and Jonathan Reid.
All three of you today become knights of
the Noagenda round table.
I'm very proud to pronounce KB as Sir
Kevin, Keeper of the Sea, his beautiful black
lab.
Sir Sigma, and Sir We, the People's Beefcake,
as a temporary name.
For you gentlemen, we have Hookers and Blow,
Rent Boys and Chardonnay, Korean Fried Chicken and
Corona with Lime, Can of Cold Pepsi with
Swiss Rolls, not to be outdone by the
Rubin, that's Lumen and Rosé, the Gator and
Sake, the Vodka, Vanilla, the Bong, Hits and
Bourbon, the Sparkling Orange, Cider and Eschlorz, the
Ginger Ale and Gerbils, the Breast Milk and
Pablum.
And as always, at every single round table
celebration, the mutton and the mead.
You can join our PhDs over at NoagendaRings
.com.
That's where you will find your beautiful knight
rings on display.
They are signet rings, so each knight ring
comes with a couple of sticks of wax.
You can seal your important correspondence with that.
Also, a certificate of authenticity.
And thank you for joining this round table
with our Noagenda knights and our Noagenda dames.
Noagenda meetups!
Yeah, the Noagenda meetups, they are still on
deck, still happening.
People love going to them at Noagenda meetups.
Excuse me.
COVID.
NoagendaMeetups.com.
Don't be looking for that national meetup.
This is a decentralized, distributed thing we've got
going on.
It's like the TEDx.
You create a meetup wherever you want, for
whatever reasons you want, whatever time of the
day.
Call it whatever you want.
Just have people come out who listen to
the show.
It's always fun.
NoagendaMeetups.com.
Here's a meetup promo we got.
Sorry, this is not a promo.
Yeah, this is a promo.
Today at 1 p.m., the Baron of
Nassaupon and Sindoff at Six Bears with a
Goat in Stafford, Virginia.
Address says Fredericksburg.
Yes, Adam, that happens here too.
Let's honor this OG Virginia meetup host at
an incredible brewery.
See you Saturday.
All right.
Look at that.
I love that.
Do we have no meetup reports, only the
promo?
Well, that's perfect because I can promo what's
coming up on Friday.
Tomorrow, Beer in the Sun, 5.30 at
the Lighthouse Brewery in Victoria, British Columbia.
Please send us meetup reports and include your
server.
On Saturday, Baron Harry Pilgrim.
There it is.
It's his send-off.
Of course, I met Baron Harry Pilgrim on,
gosh, one of the first No Agenda meetups.
I think it was the OG Hot Pockets
Tour.
And that will be at Six Bears and
a Goat in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
You heard Sir Tom Starkweather there.
He was organizing it.
Everyone, come on out and give Sir Baron
Harry Pilgrim a great send-off.
Also on Saturday in Anaheim, California, Leo Bravo
does it for the 65th time, long-time
No X Flight of the No Agenda.
That will be at 3.33 at Brewery
X in Anaheim.
And on July 26, that is also Saturday
at Dempsey's No Agenda Columbus meetup at 5
.30, Columbus, Ohio.
Go hang out with Sir Leary and all
the cool kids at the No Agenda Columbus
meetup.
No Agenda meetups, you can find them all
at noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, don't
worry.
You can start one yourself.
It's free, it's easy, and always guaranteed to
party.
All the nights and days.
You want to be where you want to
be.
Check it all out.
You want to be where everybody feels the
same.
It's like a party.
But before we get to anything, as always,
we try to delight the cloud with some
insight how the sausage is made.
This is how a production meeting would go
in the real world.
Of course, we'd have Dana Brunetti calling a
meeting and making it all complicated.
I'm the producer, I gotta tell you what
to do.
I'm just trying to get his attention.
I told you to stop listening to the
show.
He did.
He doesn't care.
He hates the show.
No, he likes the show, but he just
is bored.
Well, what is he doing then?
Driving his fire truck?
Tractor.
Right now, as we speak, I guarantee he's
on a tractor.
Get off that tractor!
All right, I have four end-of-show
ISOs, and you have one, so I guess
I'll go first.
This is bigger.
This is way bigger than I could ever
imagine.
That's a little too long.
We have Robo John.
Kill humans.
Yeah?
No?
Okay.
We have...
Just donate.
Donate.
Donate.
Huh?
Liking that one.
And the final one?
Does not compute.
Pew!
Pew!
That's no good.
Okay.
Just donate.
Donate.
Donate.
All right, now we'll get yours, which...
Mine's curiously similar.
Together, we can make a difference.
Donate now.
No, mine's better.
Just donate.
It's real.
Donate.
Donate.
It's John...
That's not what you think that other one
is.
Fake.
No, it's not.
Together, we can make a difference.
Donate now.
Well, wherever you got it from, they faked
it.
No, it's a guy with a big, deep
voice.
It's a real guy.
Well, which one do you like better?
I like...
I will take yours, because you're trying to
demean my stuff, and I might as well
go along with it.
So you have some scheme afoot, so I'll
play along.
That's right, I have a scheme afoot.
My scheme is to confuse you, get you
to repeat John's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with John C.D. And
sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Burnetti.
Okay, this time it's software.
We're on the rotation.
Hmm, software.
So we're on software.
This is software day.
And I'm going to recommend a product that
I've been using for decades.
Whoa!
No, I'm sorry, a decade.
Boomer product, boomer product.
At least a decade.
Okay, this is a handy-dandy product.
It's free.
It is called Handbrake.
You can look it up, you can Google
it.
We have definitely done Handbrake before.
No, we've never done Handbrake.
Yes, we have.
I've talked about it before, but I've never...
I'm sure it's not tip of the day.
Okay.
All right.
Okay, what does it do?
It's to rip, to steal content.
No.
Yes, that's what Handbrake is.
It's to convert product.
It's to convert one...
Okay.
I'm sorry, it's not to steal content.
It's to convert product from one format that
is possible...
To another.
Yes.
For example, here's a good use for it.
You own, you own.
I don't know, a lot of people don't
like this idea, but I've always been a
fan of it.
I own, I own.
I bought, paid for a DVD.
Oh, my.
And you want to send it to all
your friends.
No.
I want to put it on my phone.
You do not want to put it on
your phone.
What, so it can play in the desk
drawer?
So I can play it on the airplane,
because I'll bring a phone on the plane.
When have you been on a plane recently?
I haven't been recently, but if I'm going
to go on a plane, I'm going to
do this.
Okay.
I'm going to take the DVD.
I'm going to run it through handbrake.
It'll bust it up into pieces, and it'll
say to me, what do you want to
do with this?
You want to make it small?
You want to make it big?
You want to make it a small file,
a big file?
You want to change it from MP4 to
MKV?
Yeah.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to change the bit rate?
Do you want to do what?
And you tell it, and it makes the
conversion.
It doesn't take that long.
Actually, it's pretty fast.
And next thing you know, I've got the
movie playing on my phone.
So if anyone out there receives a file
from John that has Academy watermarks, then you
know how he did it.
Handbrake is an outstanding product.
I used to use it on the Mac
because I think it's cross-platform.
No?
I don't know.
I don't have a Mac.
And for all of us Unix guys, we
just use FFmpeg.
We're real men.
We don't mess around with handbrake.
There it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, John C.
Dvorak, tip of the day, tipoftheday.net.
And as always, you can get the collection
at noagendafund.com.
Creative lives for you and me.
Just a tip with JCB.
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Burnetti.
Yes, thank you, Dana Burnetti.
Created by Dana Burnetti.
Well, he created it, but he's not producing
it.
No, he's not.
Created by is different than produced by.
Yeah, that's true.
So he's not responsible for the leather honey
fiasco.
But you're supposed to blame the fame.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
It must be the wine.
All right, everybody, we do have end of
show mixes coming up from Melody.
We've got John Valentine.
And we got Jeff and who was it?
Jeff and Jeff and Andy.
Jeff, one of the funniest clips you'll ever
hear.
Yeah.
Jeff and Andy is good.
Very good.
Also, if you stay tuned to noagendastream.com
or on that modern podcast app, we have
random thoughts coming up next, which I think
has Gene on it.
It always seems to be with Gene.
Coming to you from the heart of the
Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, where
we're just as expensive in New York in
the morning.
Everybody, I'm Adam Curry from Northern Silicon Valley,
where I remain.
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Remember us by supporting us at noagendadonations.com.
We'll be back on Sunday.
Until then, adios, mofos.
Ahoy, ahoy.
And sludge.
Are you hiding?
No.
You're not hiding anything.
Prove that to the American people.
Yes.
And if you are trying to hide something,
as many of Donald Trump's MAGA supporters apparently
believe, then Congress should actually work hard to
try to uncover the truth to the American
people.
He's dead.
He's dead.
Epstein died from suicide.
Epstein died from suicide.
Epstein didn't kill himself.
Epstein died from suicide.
Jeffrey Epstein conducted a conference called Confronting Gravity.
I don't know who Jeffrey Epstein was at
all.
I was really bet money that he was
the product of at least one, uh, one
more element of intelligence.
The CIA?
The CIA.
Those are ours.
Epstein died from suicide.
Epstein died from suicide.
Epstein didn't kill himself.
Epstein died from suicide.
Epstein died from suicide.
Could use headphones, but that would be ridiculous.
No, I'm not going to use headphones.
I have sweaty ears.
I'll get mold in my ears.
Well, I'm sitting in my chair.
Podcast blaring in the air.
Got them cans on tight.
But something ain't right.
My ears are getting wet.
It's a sweaty kind of bed.
John Cena's got a fear.
Don't want no mold in here.
Sweaty ears.
Oh no.
Don't want no mold in here.
Never heard about mold in your ear.
Fungus creeping near.
Man, that's my biggest fear.
You were almost dead for a while.
Because of mold in your ears.
Adam's got that moldy glow.
But I ain't gonna go.
Keep them earbuds for.
I'm a headphone free star.
Sweaty ears.
Oh no.
Don't want no mold in ears.
Say what?
Try to clean.
That's me.
Living mold free.
Once I have sweaty ears, I'll get mold
in my ears.
Sweaty ears.
Oh my.
I'm keeping these bulbs dry.
No, I'm not getting these headphones.
No cans for me.
I'm setting my ears free.
