Uh, I'm confused.
Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Sunday, September 21st, 2025.
This is your award-winning Give on Asian
Media assassination episode 1801.
This is no agenda.
Uncancellable and Broadcasted live from the heart of
the Texas snow country here in FEMA region
number six.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern...
Where are you?
Northern...
I thought you had the whole week to
get ready.
I did.
I screwed it up.
You did.
Hit it.
Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Sunday, September 21st, 2025.
This is your award-winning Give on Asian
Media assassination episode 1801.
This is no agenda.
Uncancellable and Broadcasted live from the heart of
the Texas snow country here in FEMA region
number six.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we missed
it completely.
How did that happen?
I'm John C.
Devorah.
So I have a question.
Why are bagpipes often used at funerals?
It's some tradition in Scotland.
Was Charlie Kirk of Scottish origin?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Because they have bagpipers.
I'm surprised you didn't pick up on my
teaser.
What, that we completely forgot?
Yeah.
Forgot what?
You don't remember what we forgot?
Completely?
We completely have forgotten the last show.
We forgot it now.
We completely forgot it.
It just didn't even come across our desk.
Did it come across the climate desk?
No, it wasn't climate.
No, but it could have come across.
I really don't know.
Blackout.
Oh, no.
Did we miss blackout?
Blackout.
It came and went on the 15th, I
think.
And it was well organized.
There were going to be a million demonstrations.
The country was going to be in a
general strike.
We're going to shut down because of Trump.
That's interesting.
We didn't really think that was going to
work, though, did we?
Well, we didn't.
We could have ridiculed it or something.
We didn't even do that.
It was such a dud that it wasn't
even in the news.
Well, and that's why these things fail.
If it's not in the news, then it's
not clipped and sent out on social media.
There was something else going on in the
country, in the world at the time.
And so that's how these things work or
don't work.
And maybe it's very possible it was happening
all over, but we didn't know about it.
If a tree falls in the forest, does
anyone hear it?
If no one's there, does it make a
sound?
Well, I was here in the Bay Area
and I didn't see anybody protesting, walking out,
you know.
I suppose someone from the black community could
say it's supposed to be the blacks that
were supposed to stop working for some reason.
The blacks?
The blacks.
The blacks.
You know, we haven't got any jobs.
So what are we supposed to do?
So, I got several emails saying, you know,
you should start the show an hour later.
I'm like, this is going to be a
multi-hour thing, this Charlie Kirk Memorial.
You know, we might as well not do
a show if, you know, it's like.
We do a show on our own deathbeds.
This is true.
We do it on Christmas.
We're on vacation.
We're going to change the show for some
outside influence.
I don't think so.
No.
And it's a podcast, people.
You can listen to it anytime.
I am recording it.
I will watch it later tonight.
I'm very interested.
It's a real moment for America's younger generation.
That place is packed.
Now, of course, they're showing me celebrities on
the quad screen.
Very important.
We see who's there.
Were you there?
That's some big names.
Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham.
These are all big names.
Yeah.
Well, you won't see them on the MTV
awards, but yeah, they're big names.
I haven't heard of any.
All three of those names are unknown to
me because I didn't know who Halsey was
until I was seeing all these posts because
they won't let Halsey do another album.
So I went and I went to YouTube
to listen to Halsey.
You're still stuck on Rihanna.
Just another one of these manufactured acts.
It's just like she sounds like Taylor Swift
and probably has a little better voice.
But the songs are unmemorable and there's lots
of them.
Yeah, that's what popular top 40 music has
always been.
That's unmemorable.
I mean, name three songs.
Hum the hook from three Taylor Swift songs.
Rihanna, you're a big fan of Rihanna, but
you can't hum one of her songs.
I can't.
Yeah.
Now, these are Christian contemporary artists.
They sell out Austin.
Oh, that's what you would know.
I wouldn't know.
No, they sell out Austin two nights, 15
,000 people each night.
They're pretty big.
That's a good business.
It's a great it's the God business, man.
It's a good business.
So I have a suggestion for people.
Get a ProtonMail or a FastMail account or
get something other than Gmail.
Because I am convinced, based on the content
of your newsletter, that Gmail slash Google slash
Alphabet destroyed it.
Well, I think this happens.
By the way, our girl Catherine in Bangkok
didn't get the mail either.
It says a bunch of people didn't get
it.
And it's always Gmail.
And I think you might be right.
But the problem is every time I send
out the second note, I get about 10
to 20 to 30 to 50 to 100
people say, I've got Gmail.
I've always gotten the newsletter.
I don't know what these people's problems are.
So it's there's something selective about it.
And I can't and I have yet to
figure out what it might be.
It could also, believe it or not, it
could just also be a massive technical fail.
Email, you know, there's a lot that can
go wrong.
You know, years ago, this is back in
the early 80s when I was writing for
the DEC Professional.
Wow.
A platform that I don't think is in
use anymore.
No, because there's no DEC.
No.
Digital Equipment Corporation doesn't exist.
And I wrote this column.
Funny thing is the columns I wrote for
that magazine is the only columns I've won
any awards for.
Wait a minute, what award?
What award did you win?
I wrote the Computer Press Association Award for
best column for one of those.
Computer, did they have a gala every year?
The Computer Press Association?
They did, they did.
And it was gay.
No, no surprise there.
Well, it was a gala.
Oh, a very gala, yes.
Oh, it took you forever.
So I wrote this column once there.
I remember this distinctly because I never got
so much hate mail in my life.
It was about during the early days of
the internet when it was still, you know,
just after ARPANET at first, you know, you
get an email account.
And I did a rant about how that's
unreliable.
And it's never going to, you know, it's
always going to be that way.
It's just because of the system itself, the
whole mechanism stinks.
And oh man, all these nerds, you know,
these engineers from all these big companies, you
can't say it's bullcrap.
This is the best thing ever.
It's going to work and it works well.
Well, I'm sorry.
I was right.
Well, you're also on video with evidence of
how you troll Apple people.
That's one of my favorite pieces of video
is, you know, you were so glib about,
oh, this is how I do it.
You know, I slam Apple and then I'll
go, yeah, Apple's great.
And then I'll slam them again.
And then people whips all back and forth.
And my audience just keeps growing.
You are the ultimate troll.
It's very good.
Oh, well, I'm not as much as I
used to be.
Well, I lost my touch, to be honest
about it.
Can you turn your speakers just a little?
It's really, really coming back loud.
What is this?
What is it?
Yeah, it's coming back loud today for some
reason.
It should be okay now.
Yeah, it's okay now.
So, oh, I forgot last night, local Fredericksburg
news report.
And by the way, before you get your
Fredericksburg news report, I want to say, so
Mimi up, who's running for office in Port
Angeles.
Yeah, but where's the script?
She has, oh, it's coming.
She has a friend who's an ex-police
and he is connected to the same military
intelligence people we talked about before.
Oh, great going down.
She says, she tells me these stories.
Why does he think this?
And I always say that, by the way,
which includes there's going to be an assassination
attempt at the Charlie Kirk thing.
And there's all this and that and all
the anomalies about the assassination and all the
rest.
And I said, you know, and the one
thing in common, I think that all these
people have, they refuse to listen to the
No Agenda show.
Oh no, why would they?
It's like Laura Logan doesn't listen to the
No Agenda show.
She'll never listen to it because it's, no.
I can barely get the keeper to listen
to a full episode.
She listens.
You know who listen?
Everyone at church.
They love it.
They love the No Agenda show.
Everybody's like, yeah.
Oh, so I walk in, this is the
Boots and Barbecue.
This is the big Fredericksburg Tea Party Gala,
which I like a lot because it doesn't
cost anything.
And there's no auction.
Every gala in the world hasn't, we have
the silent auction is closed, everybody.
You know, they did have a silent auction.
They had an auction if they had a
silent auction.
No, no, the silent auction, but it wasn't,
they had sponsors of the event.
They didn't have fun.
It wasn't a fundraising event per se, although
it is, but all these galas like, and
then, well, okay, we've got half a cow
from Ted's Ranch and the bidding starts at
$800.
And, you know, and then so people wind
up buying $4,000 half a cow, you
know, it's all kind of, it's all like
kind of icky.
It's like, yeah, look at me.
I got the big swinger.
Just donate your money.
You know, and there's always something that is
very overpriced that you don't want.
Like a week stay in Steamboat, Colorado in
August.
What's the name of this thing again?
Boots and Barbecue.
And it's organized so that one of the
big engines behind Boots and Barbecue, also the
Fredericksburg Tea Party, is Matt Long, who organizes
our meetups here.
And Matt's the guy that dresses up as
Benjamin Franklin and goes into the schools, the
public schools.
Actually, he looks like Benjamin Franklin.
He's one of those guys.
Oh, he's great.
He's good at it.
No, this is, Matt's the real deal.
One of Benjamin Franklin's, I don't know, relatives,
direct descendant, a guy named Nick DeWolf was
a very famous technologist.
And he, I think he was the great
-great-grandson or something.
And he actually looked like Ben Franklin.
Well, Matt Long looks like Ben Franklin.
And he also goes- But he's not
related.
No, who cares about your stupid story?
It's like you just derailed everything.
I know a guy who was friends with
the great-grandson.
If you had a good story, you just
plow through it.
Yeah, but it wasn't a good story.
I'm trying to get to it.
Anyway, so it's a big deal.
And it's sponsored by, let's see, this is
a great list of people, Gun Owners of
America.
Woo-hoo!
Ben Franklin?
No, no, the Boots and Barbecue, the Tea
Party, the big annual gala.
Oh, I thought you said it wasn't sponsored
by anybody.
No, I said there was no auction where
they had those stupid auctions.
Okay.
A golfing vacation.
Anyway, I'm hearing something really strange.
Something's off with my, are you still there?
Yeah.
Something's off with the system.
I don't know what's going on today.
So, underwritten, let's put it that way.
Gun Owners of America, the Convention of States,
Moms for Liberty.
You can already tell this was a hootenanny.
This was good.
And the speaker was, it was that guy.
Yeah, he has a lot of these podcasts.
Yeah, a podcast.
I think the story is getting worse by
the minute.
Alex Newman.
Alex Newman.
No, he's pretty good.
Alex Newman did 45 minutes and it was
the no agenda show.
It was literally agenda 2021, agenda 2030, Soros,
Common Core.
I mean, it was like a run through
our history.
And the guys out there making money on
this.
I was sitting there going, we could do
this.
We'd just get a PowerPoint.
He had so many slides.
He said, well, I only have 45 minutes.
We just fast forwarded through about 50 slides.
Okay, we're here now.
But it was good.
They honored the volunteer fire department of Kerr
County.
Of course, we had the floods here.
So that was really nice.
But anyway, the point is I bumped into
Kyle Biederman.
And Kyle Biederman, why are you laughing?
It's because this is the most rambling story
you've ever told.
All right, nevermind.
Okay, let's move on to the news.
But I don't even know who Kyle Biederman
is.
I want to know now.
I'm about to explain.
He's a state senator.
Guy who owns ACES.
Okay, is he from New York?
He's a Fredericksburg state senator for the Texas
legislature.
And he's a Republican.
Yes.
And he owns Ace Hardware.
And he comes out to me and says.
He owns Ace Hardware?
The chain?
No, he owns several franchises.
Oh, he owns a franchise.
And a pizza restaurant.
And he says, I love your show.
How long you been doing that?
You guys, you're really good.
Do you really like each other?
I said, no, it's just a good show.
And he said, I love the Florida ounces.
And his wife, her name is Barbie.
She has an amazing voice.
She talks like this.
Anyway, and Chip Roy.
Chip Roy was there.
Did Chip Roy listen to the show?
Chip Roy doesn't listen to anything or anybody.
He's at every single one of these.
He's running for Texas Attorney General.
That's why he was there.
And Don Heffanis.
He's running for comptroller.
It's a political event.
But you know what was good?
The barbecue was good.
Somehow that story just didn't unpack.
I think it was all.
I was going to do a really short
update.
And I think you could have started with
the ending.
But the barbecue was really good.
It tasted great.
The barbecue was good.
And guess who was there?
And he likes to know a gender show.
I think that would have really brought it
home.
I'll do better.
He said a bunch of bands I've never
heard of.
The bands were at Charlie Kirk's memorial.
You're not listening.
You're very confused.
No, it's because the story was discombobulated.
Whatever.
Okay.
It was.
It was bad.
Oh, okay.
So here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Now, the topic of the week has been
free speech.
And it's really irked me how well, not
irks me.
I think people tune into the no agenda
show or listen to it on the podcast
to get some actual information to really understand
what the truth is about something.
And everybody is full of crap, including Ted
Cruz.
What he said there is dangerous as hell.
And I got to say, that's right out
of Goodfellas.
That's right out of a mafioso coming in.
That's all, folks.
I wonder if I have that.
Wow.
That's got to be some kind of tell.
That's right out of a mafioso.
Hold on, I missed it.
Here we go.
And I got to say, that's right out
of Goodfellas.
That's not it.
Ah, I thought I had a.
That's all they got.
I don't have it.
I don't have a porky pig.
All right, onward.
I got to say, that's right out of
Goodfellas.
That's right out of a mafioso coming into
a bar going, nice bar you have here.
It'd be a shame if something happened to
it.
If the government gets in the business of
saying, well, hold on a second.
What is Cruz doing?
Schtick now?
Well, this is his podcast.
It's on his podcast.
And he's doing voices.
That wasn't bad, actually.
I thought his voice.
No, it wasn't.
No, I'm not saying it was bad.
It was pretty good.
But he's Ted Cruz.
I know.
But this is the whole thing stems from
a dumb or.
A remark made on a podcast.
All right, this is where this people don't
think about what they're saying on podcasts.
This has been the thesis of yours for
the entire 18 years we've been doing this
show.
And it's a basic thesis.
You love bringing these these people, these clips
from these naive people.
I don't understand it either, to be honest
about it.
Why you think that you can say stuff
on a podcast you wouldn't say on network
TV?
Well, it's a they don't consider it to
be real media to this day.
It's getting a little closer, I think.
No, like like Palm Bandi.
You know, she she said stuff on a
podcast which was just ridiculous.
And, you know, we determined that that was
possibly a Stephen Miller hit, which I think
is still a very good thesis.
But let's get back to Ted Cruz with
his.
Nice smile you have here.
It'd be a shame if something happened to
it.
If the government gets in the business of
saying.
Well, you can't say.
What did you say something?
No, that was in the clip.
Oh, you sound like Cruz.
If the government gets in the business of
saying.
Well, you can't say what you the media
have said.
We're going to ban you from the airwaves
if you don't say what we like.
That will end up bad for conservatives.
OK, so let's just go through a couple
of things which are not really exposed at
all.
Or discussed.
And let's listen first to what Jimmy Kimmel
actually said.
We had some new lows over the weekend
with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize
this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything
other than one of them and doing everything
they can to score political points from it.
In between the finger pointing, there was grieving
on Friday.
The wife.
OK, so the actual offense as it's being
determined, and we'll get into that in a
minute.
Into it is this beginning part.
And the second part is what everybody's focused
on.
We had some new lows over the weekend
with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize
this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything
other than one of them and doing everything
they can to score political points from it.
In between that was the the true offense
was saying that this was a MAGA guy.
He's saying it in reverse, but he's kind
of saying that.
And then we go into the the comedy
portion.
The finger pointing.
There was grieving on Friday.
The White House flew the flags at half
staff, which got some criticism.
But on a human level, you can see
how hard the president is taking this.
My condolences on the loss of your friend,
Charlie Kirk.
May I ask, sir, personally, how are you
holding up over the last day and a
half, sir?
I think very good.
And by the way, right there, you see
all the trucks.
They just started construction of the new ballroom
for the White House, which is something they've
been trying to get, as you know, for
about 150 years.
And it's going to be a beauty.
Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief,
construction, demolition, construction.
This is not how an adult grieves the
murder of somebody he called a friend.
This is how a four year old mourns
a goldfish.
OK, it was offensive towards the president because
really, you know.
I don't know if the president even heard
the first bit that the that the reporter
asked, like, you know, the murder of Charles.
Sorry about the murder of your friend, Charlie
Kirk.
How are you holding up?
Or maybe he's an 80 year old who's
like, huh?
What?
Yeah, I'm doing great.
Look at the construction over there.
I don't know.
But that's fine.
That's what it seems like.
Well, here's here's the full clip of that
in context.
My condolences to you, sir, actually.
My condolences on the loss of your friend,
Charlie Kirk.
May I ask, sir, personally, how are you
holding up over the last day and a
half, sir?
I think very.
You see, it really I mean, that's from
the that's standing next to the president.
It's a different camera angle.
It's kind of hard to hear what he
said, but regardless.
So then Brendan Carr, the FCC chairman, goes
on the Benny Johnson podcast and shoots his
mouth off, although technically I believe he is
correct.
There's a very concerted effort to try to
lie to the American people about the nature,
as you indicated, one of the most significant
newsworthy public interest acts that we've seen in
a long time.
And what appears to be an action appears
to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to
play into that narrative that this was somehow
a MAGA or Republican motivated person.
If that's what happened here with his conduct,
that is that is really, really sick.
I've been very clear.
Haitian, they have a license granted by us
at the FCC.
And that comes with an obligation to operate
in the public interest.
And we can get into some ways that
we've been trying to reinvigorate the public interest
in some changes that we've seen.
But frankly, when you see stuff like this,
I mean, look, we can do this the
easy way or the hard way.
These companies can find ways to change conduct
to take action, frankly, on Kimmel or there's
going to be additional work for the FCC
ahead.
So kind of a dumb statement because it
did sound threatening.
But what people don't understand is how the
system works, because everyone just watches stuff on
X or you watch it maybe on YouTube
TV.
This is legacy.
Legacy of spectrum, which is very valuable.
You know, you probably read about auctions.
Oh, a billion dollars here.
Ten billion dollars here.
Seventeen.
I think Starlink just bought some spectrum from
somebody else for seventeen billion dollars.
So the broadcast spectrum is owned by all
of us, the taxpayers.
And the licensing requirements are very clear, although
they really have not ever been enforced because
most presidents and administrations have been afraid of
the media.
Like, well, you know, if we start to
mess with them, then, you know, they'll say
bad things about me.
Well, I don't think President Trump has anything
to lose in that manner.
And it really is not the networks.
It's each local individual station that has a
transmitter, which if they just turn those off
and went, you know, full digital, they would
not have to deal with any of this
yet.
Well, yes, that's true.
So there's a few requirements.
First of all, you have to be a
citizen.
Can't be a foreign government.
This is why Rupert Murdoch became an American.
Character.
An applicant must act honestly.
Intentional misrepresentations greatly increase the risk of license
denial or non-renewal.
Criminal conduct may or may not disqualify an
applicant.
When reviewing competing applications, an applicant who has
no character issues more likely to receive the
license than one with legal violations, etc., financial
requirements, and there's technical requirements.
But there are some very specific laws about
what you can and can't broadcast.
So first, let's continue with Benny.
These are all short with Benny Johnson and
Brendan Carr.
Obviously, there's calls for him to be fired.
I think, you know, you could certainly see
a path forward for suspension over this.
And again, you know, the FCC is going
to have remedies that we could look at.
And again, you know, we may ultimately be
called to be a judge on that.
But this also strikes me as sort of
conduct that to some extent shows some sort
of desperate irrelevance.
I mean, look, NPR has been defunded.
PBS has been defunded.
Colbert is retiring.
Joy Reid is out at MSNBC.
Terry Moran has gone from ABC into now
admitting that they are biased.
CBS has now made some commitments to us
that they're going to return to more fact
-based journalism.
And so I think you see some lashing
out from people like Kimmel, who are, frankly,
talentless.
It's like, this is a podcast and he
thinks that no one watches Benny Johnson.
I'll do this quick.
Benny Johnson is a big podcaster.
Of course he is.
Although, man, go look at his YouTube channel.
You know, he does with the YouTube channel.
If you want to just find the Brendan
Carr interview, good luck, because every image is
AI generated of outraged looking people, you know,
because that's what you have to do in
order for the algorithms to pick it up
and people to click on it.
Oh, there's an outrage clip.
Oh, I got to check that out.
So before you continue, I want to comment
on that clip.
The way he cavalierly says that PBS and
NPR have been defunded is ridiculous.
They're not defunded at all.
They're not even close to being defunded.
What he meant to say, or should have
said, was that the government's not giving them
any more subsidies, and that amounts to 1
% of their budget.
So how is that defunded?
It's not.
He's an idiot in line with Palm Bandy.
He should be fired.
Well, he might get fired.
And maybe this was intentional.
I don't know.
It doesn't seem like it.
It seems like he's just shooting his mouth
off.
And as a commissioner, that's not your job.
We finally know his job.
You're absolutely correct.
This guy should not be on a podcast
at all.
He should just like all these lot of
people that during this, the Kirk era, they
should just shut up.
Well, here he is with the actual rules
and regulations, and then I have a few
things to read.
We have a rule on the book that
interprets a public interest standard that says news
distortion is something that is prohibited.
Likewise, we have a rule that addresses broadcast
hoaxes.
And so, again, over the years, the FCC
has stepped back from enforcing it.
And I don't think it's been to the
benefit of anybody.
Just look at the credibility of these legacy
media.
It's absolutely through the floor.
They used to be able to say at
least they were more trustworthy than Congress, but
now they're even less trustworthy than Congress.
And so I think as a business matter
for them, something has to change.
And at the FCC, we need to reinvigorate
this.
So again, there's actions that we can take
on licensed broadcasters.
And frankly, I think that it's really sort
of past time that a lot of these
licensed broadcasters themselves push back on Comcast and
Disney and say, listen, we are going to
preempt.
We're not going to run Kimmel anymore until
you straighten this out, because we, we licensed
broadcaster are running the possibility of fines or
license revocation from the FCC if we continue
to run content that ends up being a
pattern of news distortion.
So I think, again, Disney needs to see
some change here.
But the individual licensed stations that are taking
their content, it's time for them to step
up and say this garbage to the extent
that that's what comes down the pipe in
the future isn't something that we think serves
the needs of our local communities.
So just so we understand, if the FCC
can't pull anything away from ABC, NBC, CBS,
they can only pull away from individual stations.
And the renewal period is every eight years.
And it's a real thing.
It really happens.
And usually it's like, whatever, just keep on
going.
But the citizens who are in the market
of a, of a transmitter, they are the
ones who can file complaints.
And I'm sure they've filed plenty of complaints
against The View and Kimmel.
There's a lot of people, particularly our age
and older, who sit at home going, ah,
these guys, I'm going to file a complaint
with the FCC.
You know that that happens.
And I'm almost, I'm at the point, if
I wasn't doing this podcast, I'd be doing
it.
Exactly.
You'd be writing letters to the president.
On your, on your typewriter.
No, so this is, it's very valid that
a lot of these stations who are getting
their complaints are saying, well, you know, this
is kind of a problem because I think
it's in 2028 is when a lot of
them come up for renewal.
Like, well, you know, if you look at
the balance and if you really look at
the laws, the laws, then, you know, I
can see where they would be worried.
And Brendan Carr obviously threw some gasoline on
the fire.
Now, there is another very specific, it's a,
it's in U.S. law, 70, 47 CFR
73.1217. Now, I certainly defer.
Oops, sorry, that's not the one.
It's, he talks about here.
We have a rule on the book that
interprets a public interest standard that says news
distortion is something that is prohibited.
Likewise, we have a rule that addresses broadcast
hoaxes.
And so, again, over the years, the FCC
has stepped back from enforcing it.
And I don't think it's been to the
benefit of anybody.
Just look at the credibility of these legacy
media.
It's absolutely through the floor.
They used to be able to say at
least they were more trustworthy than Congress, but
now they're even less trustworthy than Congress.
And so I think as a business matter
for them, something has to change.
And at the FCC, you know, we need
to reinvigorate this.
So, again, there's actions that we can take
on licensed broadcasters.
And frankly, I think that it's really sort
of past time that a lot of these
licensed broadcasters themselves push back on Comcast and
Disney and say, listen, we are going to
preempt.
We are not going to run Kimmel anymore
until you straighten this out.
Did I just play that?
I think I just played that.
Yeah, you played it twice in a row.
OK, so the law is no licensee or
permittee of any broadcast station shall broadcast false
information concerning a crime or catastrophe if the
licensee, this is number one, if the licensee
knows this information is false.
Well, that's kind of difficult to prove.
That is tough.
That's a tough one to prove.
If it is foreseeable that broadcasts of the
information will cause substantial public harm, maybe, maybe
not.
Broadcasts of the information does, in fact, directly
cause substantial public harm.
This is kind of what they call the
hoax, the hoax rule.
So, you know, obviously, no one should say
anything because we don't know the exact origin.
They didn't at that time, certainly not know
anything about this kid.
But, you know, when you're talking to someone
who's saying, I'm sorry, my love, and is
living with a trans person is probably not
a MAGA, you know, so probably not.
Probably not.
And his mom said he wasn't.
You can make a case that that was
broadcasting false information, but it comes down to.
But again, as we pointed out in the
last show, we had clips that indicated that
that operation is so filled with liberals and
siloed people.
I decided I was thinking about these terms
silo versus bubble.
Bubbles pop.
Silos don't siloed people that all believe something.
And so I think they were totally sincere.
And it was definitely wasn't a hoax.
Well, news distortion is another part of a
different rule on the books.
And this is the final question.
Short.
Do you believe that what Jimmy Kimmel said
rises to the level of news distortion?
Well, again, the FCC could be called upon
to be an ultimate judge in that.
But at this point, I think it's clear.
It appears to be clear that you can
make a strong argument that this is sort
of an intentional effort to mislead the American
people about a very core, fundamental fact, a
very important matter.
At the end of the day, if we
do get called upon to pass a vote
on this, Disney will have a chance to
put in their arguments and explain it.
But this is a very, very serious issue
right now for Disney.
Right.
So serious issue for Disney.
But he has no power over Disney.
He only has a decision making over license
renewal, which would come up in 2028, which
he probably wouldn't even be there anymore if
a Democrat president is in the administration, et
cetera, et cetera.
So it's all kind of hypothetical.
Here's Brendan Carr explaining himself on CNBC, where
all truth comes out.
Was this before or after the podcast?
This is after the podcast.
Yeah, this was, in fact, Thursday.
Now, I certainly defer to the decision making
of the company itself in terms of saying
this was beyond the bounds.
But I do wonder, and I think many
people do, whether you really are just targeting
comedians who typically through the years have made
fun of political figures in a way that
because the president simply is offended by it.
No, no, no.
Look, again, broadcast TV is different.
We're on a cable show right now.
You don't have an FCC license.
You don't have an obligation to serve the
public interest.
Podcasts don't either.
Stand-up comedians, whether they're on lots of
forms of communications, don't.
And Kimmel is free to do that.
But if you have a broadcast TV license,
that means that you have something that very
few people have, and you're excluding other people
from having access to that valuable public resource.
And it comes with an obligation to serve
the public interest.
And again, over the years, there's been a
rule in place at the FCC that local
TV stations get to preempt programming that they
don't think meets the needs of their communities.
But recently, these national programmers, ABC, Disney, Comcast,
NBC, they've been exercising outsized control and power
over those local TV stations, and there's been
no pushback.
And this is a very significant moment because
local broadcasters are now pushing back on national
programmers for the first time that I can
think of in modern history.
And that's one thing we want at the
FCC.
We want to empower local broadcasters that have
the public interest obligation to push back on
national programmers so that people have more choice.
Now, this was interesting to me because, do
you know anything about that relationship?
Are these local broadcast stations, are they slaves
of the networks?
Do they have their hands on their nuts,
so to speak?
Are they slaves to the networks?
I think to some extent they are.
Because we had a situation in the Bay
Area where one of our stations, KRON, which
was the NBC affiliate, was replaced by a
station that I think at the time was
in Sacramento and they moved to San Jose,
KNTV.
And it had to do with, you know,
all of a sudden the network wanted to
charge more money.
Yeah, well, there it is.
It comes down to money.
There's a money issue.
By the way, one thing that's not mentioned
here and it should be mentioned is the
Disney thing is a little more complicated than
what's being presented because there's also a deal
that is going to have to be approved
by the Trump administration at some point in
time coming up.
What is the Disney deal?
The Disney deal, Disney's trying to buy via
ESPN, they're trying to buy NFL networks.
Oh, well, what is, oh, that would be
an anti-competitive trade commission?
Yes, because it brings the NFL, you know,
more NFL games over to ESPN and this
is a big deal.
No one talks about that one.
But it's talked about in sports circles.
Okay, as far as I'm concerned, no one
talks about that one.
They do talk about it.
It's been talked about.
No, I know, but because it's sports.
Hello.
But let's follow the money.
I think these affiliates have been asking for
probably since the writers, probably since the writers
strike, they've been saying, hey, ABC, can you
take this guy off?
We could do reruns of Hogan's Heroes and
make a lot more profit.
Just to back you up on that, if
you had looked at the newsletter.
I did.
I did when it came out, when it
came out.
Sorry.
If it came out, if you got one,
there is a chart in there showing the
unbelievable fall off of the audiences for these
late night shows.
It is so bad.
How bad is it?
It's bad.
They've dropped, I'd say 90% of their
audience has been lost.
And Kimmel was losing 40.
I mean, they say that Colbert, which was
over staff, was losing 100 million a year.
Kimmel was losing 40, 40 million a year
just down the drain.
And the audience is not showing any signs
of recovery.
All three networks.
And there you have it.
The bottom line is that Disney didn't want
the backlash.
They didn't want, you know, just want to
get rid of Kimmel.
I'm sure NBC wants to get rid of
Fallon because of this very issue.
It's not prestige anymore.
You're right about Hogan's Heroes, by the way.
Yeah.
Well, it's very cheap content.
Hogan's Heroes reruns would get more audience than
Kimmel.
It's cheap content.
It's cheap content.
You could put friends there.
And it's cheap.
It's free.
Yeah.
So this is a money issue.
They've been probably saying this for a long
time.
And oh, by the way, our audience gets
mad.
And that's why they're not watching anymore because
your guy is just making fun of their
guy.
This has been a money issue.
And Brendan Carr empowered them, particularly Nexstar.
And what's the other outfit who used to
be headquartered here in Austin?
Well, I know the other one that was
upset was Sinclair.
Sinclair.
But I don't think they were in Austin.
Yeah, they were not.
They weren't in Austin, were they?
Their headquarter is in Austin.
Sinclair Broadcasting?
Yeah, it was.
Ron Blum and I went there.
No, Ron Blum and I went there.
We pitched them on something a long time
ago.
And it was, huh.
Yeah.
Well, that's news to me.
Well, and we talked with a muckety-muck.
A muckety-muck.
Yes, a muckety-muck.
A true muckety-muck.
So the only guy who, of course, in
a way, well, he waffles a bit at
the end.
But Rand Paul talked to Christian Welker from
NBC, and he just called it straight up
as it is.
Do you want to ask you, broadly speaking,
about free speech?
Free speech!
Freedom of speech.
I want to play something that President Trump
promised during his inaugural address, followed by comments
that he made just this week.
By the way, I forgot to harp on
the president for this comment during his inaugural
speech.
Take a look.
I will also sign an executive order to
immediately stop all government censorship and bring back
free speech.
Freedom of speech.
To America.
When somebody is given 97% of the
stories are bad about a person, that's no
longer free speech, that's no longer, that's just
cheating.
Senator, do you believe that President Trump is
sending the message that he only supports free
speech when it's speech that he agrees with?
Well, this is why it's kind of rich
for Governor Shapiro also to come on and
be outraged by censorship.
Was he asleep for the four years of
the Biden administration when they did have censorship?
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security were sent
to the offices of Twitter.
They were sent to the offices of Facebook.
Facebook was told to take down information concerning
the origins of the COVID virus, or they
were being threatened with remove their liability protection,
or being threatened with being broken up by
antitrust.
So we have had official censorship going on
for many years now, and everybody on the
left just looked the other way.
They actually had an office, an office of
censorship.
So I applaud Trump for bringing that down.
Now, saying we're going after the FCC licenses
is wrong and inconsistent with that.
I applaud Trump for getting rid of the
censorship office in our government, but I think
people should discontinue this idea of policing hate
speech or sending the FCC after networks.
Yeah, both of those are in his crosshairs,
and rightly so, because they're morons.
Brendan Carr is dumb, and Palm Bandy may
be even dumber.
The thing that's amazing, though, is that where
ABC thought, wow, this is great.
We can dodge the bullet of getting rid
of Kimmel because, oh, the only young people
we have are the ones watching.
What is it, the 0.7 rating, I
think?
It's almost nothing.
More people listen.
In the demographic, 18 to 49, more people
listen to the No Agenda show.
It's really that bad.
It is that bad.
But what's happened is, because of the hatred
towards Trump from the, I guess, your typical
ABC late-night viewer, they've gotten the ire
of all of their fans, and not just
people who like Kimmel, but Disney fans.
Disney fans.
I'm sure you know some Disney fans.
These are people who do pilgrimages, or big
buses.
They love Disney.
Anything that's Disney, they'll watch every movie.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
No.
Oh, I know a lot of people like
that.
I do not know one person like that.
Well, that's interesting.
I know a lot of people like that.
Obviously, there's a lot of diehard Disney fans,
and they are revolting.
Not as in they're kind of revolting, too,
but they are revolting.
They have to be revolting.
They're revolting against ABC.
Here's an example of some TikTok dude.
Okay, everybody.
So, as of today, I canceled my Hulu,
my Disney+, my Paramount.
I never had ESPN.
I would have canceled it anyway.
I cut up my Disney credit card.
My Disney annual pass to the park has
expired.
I was thinking of renewing it.
I will not be renewing it.
I refuse to stand on any Disney property.
I refuse to eat at any Disney establishment.
That is my little way of protesting my
right to the First Amendment.
What they're doing now, becoming state-run media,
is getting rid of everyone that disagrees with
the current administration.
And that, I have to draw the line.
I mean, there are other things, but this,
my right to say whatever I want to
say, being taken away?
No.
What I can watch, what I can't watch?
No.
That doesn't flow with me.
So, the only way to get back at
them, it's got to get back at Disney.
Got to get back at ABC because they
cowered to a bully.
So, they basically told them to get rid
of these people.
Stephen Colbert was first.
Jimmy Kimmel was second.
They will go after more.
Also, daytime.
State-run media.
This is the beginning.
It's happening now.
It's happened before.
North Korea, China, Russia.
State-run media, as of today.
1930s, 1940s.
Nazi Germany.
Hitler became chancellor.
First thing he did, went after radio, went
after the print, the newspapers.
State-run media.
Told the people what they can watch, what
they can't watch.
Sorry.
The only way to make them feel it,
in the pocketbook, I canceled it all.
You know, what this brings to mind is
something that you and Mo discussed some years
ago about the idea that we're not going
to hire people anything like this because the
long-term effects are so negative.
This was some time ago when you talked
about don't hire a black person because it's
going to be trouble down the road.
This is the price you're going to have
to pay if you're going to hire liberals
at the level of Jimmy Kimmel.
Because now they're paying the price.
And they're going to pay the price for
when they get rid of The View.
They should have not had the shows on
in the first place is what's going to
be the rationale for never hiring anybody like
that again.
This is not the way to go about
this.
And it's worse because now big stars, big
stars.
Actually, Cynthia Nixon, you know, sex in the
city, sure.
But she's in Gilded Age, a runaway hit
series.
And here's her little 30-second bit.
Hey, I just canceled my Disney Plus and
Hulu subscriptions.
And they asked me why I hit other.
And I wrote, because I believe in the
First Amendment, reinstate Jimmy Kimmel.
Now, my whole family is really going to
miss Abbott Elementary.
We are really going to miss only murders
in the building.
But you know what?
We would miss the First Amendment a whole
lot more.
Don't go to the theme parks.
Don't go on the cruises.
Cancel your subscriptions now.
Yeah, this is they are definitely paying the
price.
But they're paying the price.
If they hadn't had Kimmel in the first
place, this wouldn't happen.
That's the irony.
Now, since we're talking about First Amendment stuff,
I do have one clip.
One more in my sequence here.
The last one, which relates to the woke
guy talking about this is what Stalin did.
This is what Hitler did.
This is state-run, state-controlled media.
You want to hear about state-controlled media,
woke boy?
This is my new friend, Katie Hopkins.
Remember, I met her.
Katie Hopkins was here in Fredericksburg.
She's your pal now.
She's my buddy now, yes.
And she was right down the road doing
an interview with Laura Logan, going rogue with
Laura Logan.
And listen to this.
But my comedy shows do.
They allow people to laugh at the things
you're not allowed to say because I can
just about get away with saying them now
in the guise of comedy.
And it's a fine line.
I was arrested and interviewed under caution.
I haven't spoken about this yet.
About three weeks ago.
And I'm waiting to be charged for the
crime of online communications, crime of speech for
my Katie's.
I do a pub night online called the
Katie's Arms.
I love the Katie's Arms.
So I've been arrested for that.
I see.
Because of what I said on my Katie's
Arms pub.
So that's her live stream where she drinks
wine.
You ever seen it?
No.
It's just her in her apartment.
She's drinking wine.
She's making snide remarks.
Yeah.
And they arrested her for something she said
that that's Hitler.
That's the stuff you're talking about.
Exactly.
And that's what's going on in the UK
right now.
I mean, when Linham was arrested, he's not
even a UK citizen that I think he's
Irish or he might be Scott.
But whatever the case is, he comes into
Heathrow, I think.
I said it on the show a couple
of shows last show or the show before
that.
I think Americans that do a lot of
tweeting and could possibly just be picked up
when they show up at Heathrow.
Oh, well, it's funny you bring that up
because I have a clip of an American.
Now, she's not at Heathrow.
She already is living in the UK.
And this is, you know, the GB News
is making a big deal of this.
She's she's a member of something called the
Free Speech Union, which is probably strike one.
Here she is as a cop comes to
her house.
I'm a member of the Free Speech Union
and I'm an American citizen.
Something that we believe you've written on Facebook
has upset someone.
You're here because somebody got upset.
Is it against the law?
Am I being arrested?
You're not being arrested.
Then what are you doing here?
My plan was if you were admitting that
it was you who wrote the comment, you
could just make an apology to the person.
I'm not apologizing to anybody.
I can tell you that.
The alternative would be that I have to
call you for an interview.
I'm here to talk to you about the
allegation.
They've reported it to the police.
So what?
Obviously, we get a lot of reports like
that.
Are there no houses that have been burgled
recently?
No rapes, no murders?
Yeah, that's all going on as well.
Well, then why aren't you out there doing,
you know, investigating those?
Because I've got to investigate everything that gets
reported.
Well, you're not investigating houses being burgled.
No, that's not my job today.
Would you like to have a look at
the comment that I made?
I don't need to.
I know exactly the things I've said.
So the cop shows up at her house
to talk to her about what she posted.
And if she just goes along with him
and apologizes to the person she offended, then
the problem goes away.
Otherwise, you have to come downtown.
We have to interview you.
By the way, didn't she sound a bit
like Mimi?
No, not to me.
No.
To me.
She sounded very nervous and pissed.
Well, no.
Which does sound a little like Mimi.
Well, no.
She's like, I know exactly what I said.
You know, I'm not apologizing to anybody.
I could see Mimi saying that.
Well, there's that.
Yeah, well, that would definitely be the wordage
would be similar.
So, you know, it's like, come on.
But anyway, you wanted to go to a
clip.
Yeah, I want to get this.
We're talking about free speech.
Freedom of speech.
I'm not going to allow it to say
free speech.
I don't know why freedom of speech as
opposed to free speech is so important to
you.
Because one of these days they're going to
write some legislation that's going to be free
speech and it'll be something different than the
First Amendment.
This happens all the time.
Now it's different now.
Hate speech, like hate speech, that that's just
hate of speech.
Hate, hate, hate speech kind of just crept
in all of a sudden.
And then we have our attorney general talking
about it.
So, no, it's freedom.
To me, it's it's awkward structure to say
freedom of speech when you mean free speech.
I don't mean that.
Free speech is this podcast.
This is free.
Free speech.
OK, well, that's what I'm talking about.
Free speech.
OK, free speech.
So yeah.
So we had discussed Harvey Levin trying to
get out of the fact that his his
audience cheered.
Yes.
No, not his audience, his staff.
I'm not his audience, his staff.
His entire staff cheered when Charlie Kirk was
killed and he came on sheepishly saying, well,
nobody like that.
They weren't sharing about that.
Nobody would be working here if they were
that way, blah, blah, blah.
And I've gotten plenty of evidence.
I've seen him go on and off on
Trump all the time.
So listen to now.
So they bring up the Kimmel thing on
the show and tell me that this guy
didn't just hire people that hated.
I mean, they're just you can tell that
this whole operation is staffed by these types
of people.
They're all a bunch of liberals to an
extreme.
Just listen to Harvey in the background during
this teaser.
This is the beginning of a segment on
on Kimmel and Harvey going as they're talking
about free speech there.
He keeps saying R.I.P. R.I
.P. Listen to this.
It is a new day in America, a
day where it feels like more than ever
free speech and the First Amendment.
R.I.P. R.I.P. Some people
are saying R.I.P. to the First
Amendment after Jimmy Kimmel was officially suspended, but
suspended indefinitely by ABC.
Well, that's interesting.
I thought that was a bit much and
he was beside himself.
R.I.P. R.I.P. And they
did a teaser with R.I.P. R
.I.P. So like he's going to be
censored.
Maybe he could get fired because he's a
douche.
Of course not.
He's a Jew.
The Jews run the media.
No way.
It's never going to happen.
He has nothing to worry about.
R.I.P. R.I.P. Brother.
Yes, his problem is he's a douche.
And well, you don't actually watch TMZ.
You just picked up that clip somewhere.
I'm sure you don't watch it.
I occasionally watch it because I think it's
I like the structure of the show.
I find it fascinating that Harvey, who is
very petite male, a lot of people you
don't realize it because he's a petite male.
He is a petite male, really.
And compared, I mean, he usually is behind
like a fence or behind a barrier.
And he's kind of leaning over drinking a
soda.
But when he comes out and stands amongst
the others, he is the petite.
He's a petite male.
He works out a little bit.
But I would like to see him next
to Greg Gutfeld.
And I wonder which one of the two
is shorter.
Well, you know, small people with big heads
are very successful on television.
That's the rule.
I'm going to lead you into your clips
with a 40 second setup.
The Pentagon will now require credentialed journalists to
sign a pledge to refrain from reporting on
stories that have not been authorized for release,
including unclassified information.
The newly named Department of War detailed in
a 17 page memo that journalists who do
not abide by the new policy will risk
losing their access.
The new restrictions come as the Trump administration
beefs up its attacks on the media landscape.
Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth stated that reporters will
also no longer be allowed to freely roam
the halls, adding that they must either follow
the rules or go home.
U.S. journalists have denounced the new measures
as unconstitutional, calling them an attack on the
First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of the press.
So the press somehow believes that freedom of
the press, which, by the way, that no
one calls it free press.
You'll notice.
OK, Barry Weiss.
Yep.
Freedom of the press has nothing to do
with where you walk or what you what
you can grab.
It has to do with what you can
say.
You can roam the halls of the Pentagon,
barging into whatever office you want.
Well, clearly, that's what they think, as according
to Euronews.
That's what they're all up in arms because
we can't walk a walk around the halls.
That's we have freedom of the press, man.
Free press.
Free press.
Free press is what my Chinese laundry does.
Pentagon clamped.
And this is from NPR.
It's only two clips, but there they summarize
it, I think.
Press Corps that covers it.
There are some new rules to follow.
That is, if they want to keep their
official credentials that allow them to report from
inside the building.
It is worth noting the move came at
the end of a week where the Trump
administration took aim at First Amendment rights on
several fronts.
President Trump tried to sue The New York
Times.
ABC took late night host Jimmy Kimmel off
the airwaves after the chairman of the FCC
threatened the network stations unless they acted against
the longtime Trump critic.
Trump also warned that broadcasters who air the
voices of critics like Kimmel should lose their
licenses.
Joining us to explain what this what I
know.
This is so slanted.
We just played the actual clip of what
he said.
There was none of that.
Like, yeah, I know.
This is great.
Trump also warned that broadcasters who air the
voices of critics like Kimmel should lose their
licenses.
Joining us to explain what this latest move
at the Pentagon means for reporters and for
the rest of us is NPR media correspondent
David Fulkenflik.
Hi, David.
Hey, Scott.
Tell us what exactly the new rule is.
Well, you know, Pete Hegseth came in as
a Pentagon chief.
He's a former Fox and Friends weekend host,
and he promised that it would be the
most transparent Pentagon in history.
Instead, they've had very few press briefings.
And now and they threw out, by the
way, a number of media organizations from their
slots at the Pentagon, including NPR and The
Watch Post, The New York Times.
And now they're saying that reporters who want
to report from inside the building have to
pledge never to divulge or even gather any
information that the Pentagon hasn't authorized for release.
And that's including unclassified information.
I mean, that just doesn't sound like reporting.
It doesn't sound like reporting.
It doesn't sound like the kind of reporters
you and I know.
I mean, these are people who often have
done this for many years.
Many of them have, you know, covered military
conflict and wars in faraway zones and have
gotten to know military personnel from the grunts
to the multi-star generals and commanders and,
you know, have gone through corridors and hallways,
knocked on doors, not only to get scoops,
but just to get expertise and understanding of
the kinds of stories they're trying to bring
to the American public and to the military
personnel themselves.
How are the news organizations that cover the
Pentagon responding to this?
Now, let me just say something to these
hoity-toities here for a second.
I would be on board with what you're
saying if for the past 15 years, maybe
even for the entire length of our free
speech podcast, we hadn't been inundated with complete
non-journalistic reports of sources say, I went
to college for three months.
For communications.
And what I learned right off the bat
from Vanita Zinn, who was my professor, you
need to have two sources on the record
to report something.
On the record.
We haven't heard an on the record in
over a decade.
So, you're not, you know.
Try two decades.
Try two decades.
Yeah, possibly right.
So, well, this was also 1985, I think.
No.
Try four decades.
Whatever.
So, get out of here with your, well,
you know, this is not how reporters operate.
Yeah, that's exactly how reporters operate.
You take leaks from all kinds of people
with agendas from inside the building, which is
the problem, of course.
And, you know, we don't want you doing
that anymore.
Yeah.
Okay.
Fine.
I just look at the sales numbers.
How are we doing?
Do we sell any stuff to Ukraine?
That's good to go.
I think that's about right.
But, yes, I think all that is correct.
And they've kind of, they've gotten lazy.
Well, you know, what they could have done,
because of the internet.
Yes, you're right.
Lazy is the word.
It used to be, according to the Uganda
Times.
Now, those are the good old days when
you had.
Yeah, that's when the CIA could plan a
story in the Uganda Times and they just
pick it up.
They don't even do that anymore.
That's the way you're supposed to do it.
They don't even do that anymore.
Circular reporting.
No, they're too lazy.
You're right.
I haven't seen a report from the Uganda
Times forever.
It's hopping.
I'm telling you, the Uganda Times.
Is there an actual Uganda Times?
I think there is a Uganda Times.
There probably is.
Okay, let's go to the finish this up.
Scott, I think it's very striking that none
of the TV networks that I've reached out
to, including Fox News itself, CBS, NBC, CNN
have said anything publicly, issued any public statements.
Our new editor-in-chief, Tommy Evans, as
well as Matt Murray, the executive editor of
the Washington Post, and the New York Times
corporately have released strong statements saying that this
goes against First Amendment principles.
There's something called prior restraint.
That is that the government preventing the press
or broadcasters from reporting the news before it's
actually reported.
That was taken more than 50 years ago
to the Supreme Court, which upheld the idea
that the government cannot do that in a
Pentagon Papers case involving the Nixon administration.
I mean, this makes it harder for us
reporters.
Hold on.
This is a conflation of prior restraint means
you can't stop the paper from printing a
story.
Right.
That's ready to go to the press.
It's got nothing to do with walking into
offices, knocking on doors, and then shooting the
shit with some guy who's bored stiff at
his desk.
I mean, come on.
By the way, there is most definitely a
Uganda Times.
Yeah, it's the Times everywhere.
Yeah.
Reporting the news before it's actually reported.
That was taken more than 50 years ago
to the Supreme Court, which upheld the idea
that the government cannot do that in a
Pentagon Papers case involving the Nixon administration.
I mean, this makes it harder for us,
the reporters who cover Washington to do our
jobs.
David, why do you think people who read
the news, who listen to the news, who
watch the news or just see it scroll
by on their social media feed should care
about this development?
Well, reporters are trying to give the American
people an accurate understanding of what our military
is doing, how our military are treated, and
what's being done with their taxpayer dollars.
Take the attacks by the Trump administration and
Defense Department against what they've characterized as Venezuelan
drug boats.
There's been some question about that.
And there have been some lawmakers in Capitol
Hill, both parties, who've raised questions about the
legality of that.
You know, clearly, Hegseth would like to control
what kind of information gets out about that
now contentious things.
The idea of the strikes on nuclear sites
in Iran, you know, the military told us
they were incredibly successful.
In subsequent days and weeks, we heard maybe
not so much.
Again, the question is, what kinds of information
is the American people getting?
I don't think the Pentagon gets to decide
what we learn about the Pentagon.
Wait a minute.
So in other words, the shooting of the
drug boats, for example, to understand how that
works, we have to have a guy roaming
the halls in the Pentagon, just going randomly
from door to door.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, I need freedom of the press.
The Uganda Times is owned by the government
of Uganda.
Here.
I'm glad you took a deep dive into
the Uganda Times for some unknown reason, out
of the blue in the middle of the
show.
Well, it's interesting that 26% is owned
by the Ministry of State for Finance.
26% owned by the Ministry of Finance,
Planning, and Economic Development.
19% the National Social Security Fund.
This is, they have it split up.
A different minister.
Everyone gets to put their two bits.
Yes.
Yes, that's probably the way to go.
Yeah, that's your state media.
For a state run.
Yeah.
We don't have that here.
Not yet.
Not yet.
New York Times is like owned by Saudis
and Mexicans.
I mean, come on.
Yeah, exactly.
By the way, the Netherlands is on fire.
People have finally had it.
With the...
Yeah, sure.
With the, well, it's interesting.
With the asylum seekers.
You got clips?
It's all in Dutch, so no.
There's a lot of fireworks and yelling and
fighting and setting stuff on fire.
But what's interesting is the main protesters who
went to The Hague, where the government is,
there's this big open field called Malieveld.
And that's where you do your demonstration.
You know, that's the place to go.
So you get thousands and thousands of people.
The majority of them, who were all dressed
in black with their skull masks, football supporters
of different teams, sometimes even rivals.
They banded together to say that they are
sick of it.
They've had enough.
They fought the cops.
They set stuff on fire.
It's kicking off.
We'll see.
Well, yes.
I mean, take my bike.
Exactly.
Take my bike.
Where's my bike, man?
I forgot.
Yes, I got it.
That's my theme.
I don't know.
You picked it up.
You stole it.
I did not.
It's my theme.
Where's my bike has always been my theme.
Oh, people go back and catch some clips
of me bitching about the bikes.
OK, all right.
I'll give it to you.
Hey, just a little aside here.
Yeah.
I think you'll be interested in this.
This is right up your alley.
OK.
We're going to the moon.
As early as next spring, NASA hopes to
send astronauts back to the moon.
Oh, we can't wait for this.
To orbit the moon, at least.
OK, hold on a second before we play
these clips.
The more the more of these that come
out, the more I'm starting to take your
side on the original.
Only I've got I'm now wondering, you had
this thing you used to do to soft
pedal yard.
Well, we never went to the moon, which
is not an unusual commentary.
We had a famous pharmacist in the area
that was a big advocate of this.
But I think your original thesis was we
never went to the moon, but we went
later.
To the later, because they went seven times
or someone looked that up and get some
clips.
I think I think that could be documented
and and I would be I'm beginning to
think that we maybe never went.
We didn't ever.
We didn't.
You not even for the later.
No, the whole thing.
Even Elon Musk.
Even Elon Musk says that he would have
to refuel.
They don't.
The whole thing is a big, massive hoax.
And now even the scientists at NASA who
are so young, they don't remember.
OK, here's what besides losing the tapes and
all the rest of it.
But here's what bothers me about these two
clips that I have is why are we
doing what they're going to describe?
What do we need any of this for
the way they're describing it?
Listen to this clip.
As early as next spring, NASA hopes to
send astronauts back to the moon to orbit
the moon, at least the next step in
a long plan to return to lunar landings
and eventually to set foot on Mars.
Commander Reid Wiseman and the rest of the
crew of Artemis two have been training for
years.
When we leave planet Earth, we're zero miles
an hour.
And then when we come back in the
atmosphere, we're doing 39 times the speed of
sound.
We profiled the Artemis two astronauts on the
show about a year ago.
But on a mission like theirs, the people
in space are just one part of a
massive operation.
In fact, right now, NASA is recruiting volunteers
here on Earth to help track the spacecraft
as it makes its way to the moon
and back.
Oh, wait, bring in some ham radio operators.
Volunteers like Scott Chapman helped NASA keep tabs
on the automated uncrewed Artemis one mission in
2022.
After the spacecraft was no longer in sight,
I assembled all those numbers into the format
NASA asked for and uploaded it to their
computer.
Chapman is an I.T. specialist in Virginia,
and he mainly helps small businesses with computer
issues.
But briefly in 2022, he got to moonlight
as a spacecraft tracker.
The spacecraft is transmitting at a fixed frequency.
However, when a transmitter and receiver are moving
in relation to each other, either getting farther
apart or coming closer together, the received frequency
changes coming towards you.
The frequency seems to be getting higher.
And then as it goes away from you,
the frequency of what you hear gets lower
as it goes past you.
And radio signals do the exact same thing.
Chapman is widely known in the amateur radio
community.
And over the radio waves, he goes by
his FCC issued handle K4KDR. Much in the
way.
Bah, he's not even an extra loser.
Widely known in the amateur radio community.
And over the radio waves, he goes by
his FCC issued handle K4KDR. Much in the
way of local television might be designated as
whatever the.
Would you call that a handle?
No, that's his call sign.
Yeah, it's not a handle.
It's like, oh, we have our local NBC
station here and their handle is, you know,
KNTV.
It's not a handle.
I'm looking him up right now.
Yeah, I look him up.
Yeah, I'm looking him up in QRZ.
That's where I'm looking him up.
A call sign of that local station is
in the amateur radio hobby.
That is essentially your name on the radio.
With his antenna up, he learned NASA was
looking for operators to assist in navigating Artemis
1.
He wanted it.
Now, this confused me a little bit.
He says the further away you get, the
frequency changes.
No, no, as you know, it's like the
train coming and going past, you know, past
you as the as you're as you're accelerating
away sound.
Yes, no, no.
The frequency would know this the same as
sound and, you know, sounds of frequency.
So as you're going away, the frequency that
the signal would be transmitting would be changing.
It would be lengthening.
And as it's coming towards you, it would
be it would be compressing.
And so you're going to have these different
the frequency is going to going to alter
just enough that you need a ham in
the middle of nowhere to do this because
we couldn't do it in 1969.
I don't know how they got the signals
back and forth.
Well, yeah, but the shift is minute.
I mean, that's like I would think it
would be fairly small.
Is that the feeling a million miles an
hour?
No, it's very minute, very, very minimal.
Because, you know, we bounce signals off the
ionosphere and this, you know, yeah, you tune
it a little bit.
We're talking minor kilohertz, very eight.
Let me listen to that last bit again
from this nerd with with his baseball cap
on backwards.
The spacecraft is transmitting at a fixed frequency.
However, when a transmitter and receiver are moving
in relation to each other, either getting farther
apart or coming closer together, the received frequency
changes coming towards you.
The frequency seems to be getting higher.
And then as it goes away from you,
the frequency of what you hear gets lower
as it goes past you.
And radio signals do the exact same thing.
Chapman is widely known in the amateur radio
community and over the radio waves.
He goes by his FCC issued handle K4KDR.
Much in the way of local television might
be designated as whatever the call sign of
that local station is in the amateur radio
hobby.
That is essentially your name on the radio.
With his antenna up, he learned NASA was
looking for operators to assist in navigating Artemis
one.
He wanted it.
Brother.
Your point is well made.
It's like you have a twenty four point
six billion dollar budget, but we got to
get ham radio guys.
OK, sure.
I'm logging into my QRZ account to get
this guy's full details.
Yeah, go.
I thought you'd have it by now.
So while you're doing that, let's play part
two.
I forgot my credentials, but I have it
in my password manager.
At first glance, it seems overwhelming.
Certainly a person living in a world where
it was overwhelming, but it wasn't overwhelming in
nineteen sixty nine.
But it's overwhelming today.
Why are you taking my gig, man?
It's like all of a sudden you're you're
on.
I'm just annoyed by this.
These sorts of reports and how everybody's breathless
about it as though, oh, OK, that makes
sense.
It doesn't make sense at all.
At first glance, it seems overwhelming.
Certainly a person living in a rural area
of Virginia isn't going to be capable of
monitoring the signals and reporting the data that
they are looking for.
But I thought to myself, wouldn't it be
nice if this project had one participant who
had a very small system?
So I went ahead and replied and much
to my surprise, was selected for the program.
Chapman's job tracking the signals beamed down from
the automated spacecraft as it orbited the Earth.
As a hobbyist, he had the tools good
enough for NASA.
I did have a one meter dish which
you can hold in your hands and that
was mounted on a rotator on my roof.
So in the eyes of the people managing
that program, they determined that I was maybe
capable of receiving the signal.
And ultimately, I did.
Applications to help track the next mission, one
filled with astronauts traveling further from Earth than
any human has in 50 years, are due
in late October.
Yeah, this is a bunch of nonsense.
They do this to, I think, to show
that they're relevant because, you know, they've got
citizens who are interested in this.
This guy's logbook isn't even on QRZ.
He's not a real ham.
Let me see.
We're sure he's a real ham.
No, but I mean, you got to be
uploading your logbook, man.
Oh, you mean he's not like a nut
ball ham?
Yeah, exactly.
So this program I'm looking at, volunteers worldwide
to track lunar journey of NASA's Artemis 1
mission.
Look, I mean, this guy.
Oh, I love, I love communicating with the
International Space Station.
Oh, I, I, wait, wait, I've got a
thesis.
All right.
Fake.
They're going to have a bunch of these
hams.
There's going to be so many of them
that they can't, they won't have to worry
about people saying that the whole thing was
hoaxed.
No, how about this?
All you need is some satellite that sends
down a signal, phase shift that, you know,
do a little frequency shift and then say,
hello, I am Artemis 1.
Maybe it's just to prove that it's real.
It's kind of the same thing you're saying,
I believe.
Yours is slightly better.
Yeah, yeah, same thing, same basic thesis.
Let me see.
Just to get everyone involved to say, oh,
look at all these people, this confirms.
Hey, error.
Hey, error.
What frequency is Artemis 1 transmitting on?
So.
What?
What?
What frequency is Artemis 1 transmitting on?
Artemis 1 transmitted its main signals on the
X band, around 8 gigahertz for uplink and
7.2 for downlink, NASA's go-to for
deep space chatter.
But if you're hunting amateurs, check the harmonics
near 2 gigahertz.
Folks like Scott Tilley picked those up easy
from their backyards.
Oh, well, it's something NASA couldn't do.
Oh, we need help.
You're right.
It's a hoax.
They're hoaxing by getting all these amateurs to
say, yeah, I received it.
I received the signal, man.
You know, I also.
This is a possibility that I have to
accept.
I also once, you know, I tracked the
International Space Station, stood out on the back
deck when we're still in Austin, like an
idiot, pointing a Yagi antenna at the sky.
And I got a message back from the
International Space Station.
It could have been from Elon Musk's Starlink
for all I know.
I couldn't see it.
You don't know if it's really Artemis 1.
Could be anything in low orbit.
And he's.
And so he has a one.
What do you have?
A one mega.
What dish did he have?
One meter.
One meter disc.
Very small.
Yeah.
Two gigahertz.
Oh, all right.
Sounds hoaxy to me.
This will continue this saga.
I like it.
I like it.
And by the way, everyone's complaining like, well,
I don't like the money we send to
Israel because, you know, we can't eat at
home.
Well, stop.
Stop spending three times as much on this
dumb stuff.
Who cares?
It's dusty.
We know that.
Well, we're talking about is you just mentioned
Israel.
I do have a Gaza report.
Yeah.
And this is NPR.
You know, NPR has changed his voices.
It's got new people.
Where's Scott?
And now they have they actually I'm pretty
sure this is Dracula reporting from Gaza.
Take a listen.
Israeli airstrikes across Gaza City continue as the
Israeli military forces residents out of the area,
home to about one million people.
Gaza health officials say at least 34 Palestinians
were killed yesterday from airstrikes.
And Piers Anas Babas reports the situation is
deteriorating rapidly for civilians unable to get out
of Gaza City, with many families running out
of water.
In the heart of Gaza City, thirst is
now spreading faster than the fear of bombs.
The municipality says 75 percent of central water
wells have been destroyed or damaged by Israel,
leaving hundreds of thousands with little or no
access to clean water.
Families still trapped north of the city have
been unable to evacuate or forced to walk
as far as 15 miles to reach the
south.
Evacuating is expensive, as much as $6,000
to secure a vehicle out and a tent
to stay.
Some have even returned home after failing to
find a safe place in the southern Gaza.
That is what Al-Jamal family did after
failing to find safety.
They returned to their home early Saturday.
I was waiting for a good one.
Well, I think NPR blew it because what
an opportunity they've missed.
They've missed a massive opportunity to slam President
Trump and his entire extended family.
Global News in Canada had it.
Bezalel Smotrich had just been asked what he
thought should happen in Gaza.
The controversial far-right minister answered that the
first phase of urban renewal in the strip
was done, the demolition, and that the time
to build was coming.
Smotrich says to listen to him, there's a
plan on President Trump's desk that will turn
what's happening into a real estate bonanza.
I'm not kidding.
He says it pays off.
Now, The Washington Post earlier this month reported
the Trump administration is considering a plan to
run Gaza for a decade as a trusteeship.
Palestinians living in the enclave would be moved
out, at least temporarily, while billions would be
poured in to develop the territory as a
tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing hub.
Residential areas would be built up inland, away
from the coast.
It was Trump's son-in-law who first
floated the idea of developing Gaza, saying last
year its waterfront property could be very valuable.
That idea seemed to stick in the mind
of Donald Trump when he returned to the
White House.
I don't want to be cute.
I don't want to be a wise guy.
But the Riviera of the Middle East, this
could be something that could be so bad.
This could be so magnificent.
Well, the only person who appears to be
speaking publicly about the plan is Smotrich, the
ultranationalist leader of Israel's religious Zionist party.
The reported Washington plan for Gaza is being
criticized by observers and legal experts.
Many say any displacement of Palestinians out of
the enclave would be coercive at best and
violate international law.
Smotrich, on the other hand, appears to be
saying it doesn't go far enough, that Israel
deserves a part of the land in Gaza
in return for the money it's spent on
the war.
Man, what an opportunity NPR missed.
They got soundbites and everything.
By the way, you know who's going to
pay for this Riviera?
The Arabs.
They're all in on it.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar.
They're like, oh yeah, this is good.
They are.
They're being very coy about it.
Of course.
As one of our boots on the ground
said, even the attack in Qatar, the Qatar
is like, well, it's not about sovereignty, but
just don't hit any civilians.
That's not okay.
No one likes Hamas elected by the people
of so-called Palestine in 1988 with their
kill all Jews.
It's really amazing.
The lack of historical knowledge of people everywhere
is just flabbergasting.
Who really occupied those territories?
Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
Those guys get away scot-free.
It's amazing.
And I'm pretty sure the Palestinians will be
sent to Syria.
That's why President Trump made nice with the
terrorists over there.
Yeah, you take them.
Because Egypt doesn't want them.
That's a possibility.
Egypt doesn't want them.
Jordan doesn't want them.
They don't.
No, Jordan gave up.
I mean, the West Bank, which is actually
East, is actually the West Bank of Jordan.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They fought a war over that.
Anyway, meanwhile, more importantly, back home, didn't get
as much play as it should have.
But the president, wow, he came out with
a couple of executive orders regarding immigration.
Very interesting.
The first one is, while he was on
his way back from the UK, he came
up with an immediate executive order to be
implemented immediately regarding H-1B visas.
One of the most abused...
Oh, this is great.
It gets really good, huh?
One of the most abused visa systems in
our current immigration system has been the H
-1B non-immigrant visa program.
This is supposed to allow highly skilled laborers
who work in fields that Americans don't work
in to come into the United States of
America.
What this proclamation will do is raise the
fee that companies pay to sponsor H-1B
applicants to $100,000.
This will ensure that the people they're bringing
in are actually very highly skilled, and that
they're not replaceable by American workers.
So it'll protect American workers, but ensure that
companies have a pathway to hire truly extraordinary
people and bring them to the United States.
We need workers.
We need workers.
We need great workers.
And this pretty much ensures that that's what's
going to happen.
I think, Sean, you agree with that?
Well, they're $100,000 per year.
So the whole idea is no more will
these big tech companies or other big companies
train foreign workers.
They have to pay the government $100,000.
Then they have to pay the employee.
So it's just not economic.
If you're going to train somebody, you're going
to train one of the recent graduates from
one of the great universities across our land,
train Americans, stop bringing in people to take
our jobs.
That's the policy here.
$100,000 a year for H-1B visas,
and all of the big companies are on
board.
We've spoken to them about the gold card.
They love it.
They really love it.
They need it.
Now, that part at the end, are you
sure they love it?
Are you sure that the big tech companies
love it?
Because the Indians abroad in India, they sure
don't love it.
It's the latest effort by the Trump administration
to curb or raise more money from legal
immigration.
Companies will now have to pay an annual
$100,000 fee on H-1B visa application.
Annual?
I don't know if it was annual.
They have to pay $100,000?
No, it's annual.
It has to be renewed.
A move that deals a major blow to
the US tech industry, which relies heavily on
workers from India and China.
It is a loss for America, not India.
Those who go abroad and can't pay that
much money for the visa will open their
offices here.
And when they work in India, which is
already making economic progress, it will contribute to
that.
So I think this hike is beneficial for
us.
The Indian government says the plan is likely
to have humanitarian consequences, particularly the disruption caused
to families.
President Donald Trump's threat to crack down on
H-1B visas has become a major flashpoint
with the tech industry, which relies on H
-1B visa holders more than any other sector
of the US economy.
Supporters of the program, including Tesla CEO Elon
Musk, say it brings in highly skilled workers
essential to filling in talent gaps and keeping
firms competitive.
The Trump administration, on the other hand, says
hiking the fee will mean more opportunities for
American workers.
The country would rather not have to pay
$100,000.
But they'd rather, how do you do that?
You hire Americans.
So there's an incentive to hire Americans.
But there may be instances where it's better
off doing it through expertise or whatever it
may be.
The new fee is going into effect Sunday.
It will not be applied to existing holders
of valid visas re-entering the country.
From what I hear, there's entire groups online
who are making airline reservations and that they
don't intend to take, but keeping them up
until the last minute and then canceling so
that they can't come back in before the
deadline and sneak into the country.
It's probably our own spooks doing it.
Well, talking about that, Brock brings up a
point, which I want to read a letter.
A letter?
Not an email, but a letter.
I'm sorry.
I print mine out so it's like a
letter.
Regarding Americans getting these jobs.
And something we discussed.
This is from producer Trevor.
ITM, I wanted to elaborate on the other
producer who said Zoomers can't use a tape
measure.
As 26-year-old carpenter and tradesman, I
see this all the time with new hires
as to what they don't understand.
For example, you ask them to cut a
piece of lumber at say 120, I'm sorry,
127 and 5 16ths.
First of all, they ask, how do I
find out how long it is?
And then once you tell them to use
this thing, also known as a tape measure,
they then have absolutely no clue what a
16th is or how to read the tape.
So you explain that there's 16 marks on
the tape measure between each inch and count
each mark as 1 16th.
Then you go and say something like, cut
that at 65 and 3 8ths.
And they have no idea what an 8th
is.
And it's easy an entire day, an entire
day worth of explaining how to use a
tape measure.
Well, you're not going to get many engineers
at the highest level of H-1B dumb
if you can't even do that.
Well, maybe everyone will stop dumbing down our
children and consider changing.
The whole Department of Education, all of this
started during, was it Reagan?
Carter.
Carter.
I mean, all of this was a bad
idea.
It started with Carter.
Reagan tried to get rid of it.
He failed.
And it just got worse and worse and
worse.
So that was only half of the announcement.
The big announcement is the one we've been
waiting for.
The gold card.
So this executive order is entitled the gold
card.
It will set up a new pathway, a
new visa pathway for foreigners of extraordinary ability
who are committed to supporting the United States
for a payment of $1 million to the
U.S. Treasury or if a corporation is
sponsoring them, $2 million by that corporation.
And that will give them access to expedited
visa treatment as part of this new gold
card program.
And one of the biggest problems we have
is that people, they go to the best
schools and they do great and they get
great marks.
And then they're thrown out of the country.
You're not allowed to stay.
This way, a corporation will be able, sort
of like a signing bonus in baseball or
football.
A corporation will be able to get them
to stay in the country.
And I think it's going to be tremendously
successful.
Howard, would you say a few words on
that?
Sure.
So historically, the employment-based green card program
led in 281,000 people a year.
And those people, on average, earned $66,000
a year on average.
And they were five times more likely to
go on assistance programs of the government.
So we were taking in the bottom quartile,
below the average American.
It was illogical.
The only country in the world that was
taking in the bottom quartile.
So what we are doing now is we
are going to stop doing that.
We're going to only take extraordinary people at
the very top, instead of people trying to
take the jobs from Americans.
They're going to create businesses and create jobs
for Americans.
And this program will raise more than $100
billion for the Treasury of the United States
of America, which we'll use for cutting taxes
and paying down debt.
Now, OK, hold one second.
So about a year ago, or no, I'm
sorry, early in the Trump administration, it had
to be just, what, five months ago.
Yeah.
He brought up this gold card idea.
And my understanding then was the gold card
cost $5 million and guaranteed you citizenship.
No.
What happened to that?
Well, that's the platinum card.
See, they didn't talk about that.
Trumpcard.gov. The Trump gold card is here.
Unlock life in America.
So the website is just like a credit
card company.
It's great.
Exclusive privileges.
Now, the Trump gold— Low interest.
Well, yes.
Listen to this.
The Trump gold card for a processing fee
after DHS vetting, a $1 million contribution, receive
U.S. residency in record time with the
Trump gold card.
But then you have the Trump platinum card.
Listen to this.
Sign up now and secure your place on
the waiting list for the Trump platinum card.
So I guess it's coming.
It wasn't in the executive order.
For a processing fee and after DHS vetting,
a $5 million contribution, you will have the
ability to spend up to 270 days in
the United States, here it comes, without being
subject to U.S. taxes on non-U
.S. tax income.
This is— This— Come on in, people.
All you rich British people, you lammies, come
on in.
That's a very interesting twist.
That is an interesting twist to get rich
people who are sick of what's going on
in Europe, especially.
Yep.
And maybe even some Chinese.
And have all your money sent to America
and no income tax.
That's dynamite.
That's a good idea.
Yeah.
You got to see this website.
It's the president with an eagle.
Well, okay.
What is it?
TrumpCard.gov. You're going to laugh.
I'm sure.
I'm going to laugh.
This guy is amazing.
TrumpCard.
It's so good.
45th and 47th president of the United States.
Little American flag there.
Got a little presidential seat.
Ah, he's on the card.
Of course he is.
With the eagle.
It's so good.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
And do you know how many Brits and
Dutch and French all email me?
And he got a form you can fill
out right there on the page.
Oh, yeah.
Just sign up now.
No obligation.
Yes.
I know.
It's perfect.
It's perfect.
This is so American.
There's also a gold card and a corporate
gold card.
The corporate gold card is even funnier.
I mean, I wonder if you can get
miles with it.
You go further down, there's an animated eagle.
Oh, where's the animated eagle?
It's right at the bottom.
It says submit your application and the eagle
turns its head.
Oh, he does.
Someone put some work into this one.
Yeah, this is not a slouch of a
site.
Oh, designed in DC by the National Design
Studio.
Oh, well, good job, everybody.
This is too funny.
It's the most American thing I've ever seen.
Wow.
Unlocked life in America.
Yeah.
There are so many, you know, we should
also have a green card, you know, like
the green.
Well, I guess you can't call it the
green card.
You know, we should.
We need a level for people with like
only a hundred thousand.
Diners.
The diners club card.
Trump diners card.
Yes, exactly.
I don't know.
I just get a kick out of it.
It's just funny to me.
It's just funny.
I'm sure somebody finds it offensive.
Well, probably offensive that we're talking about.
In that same sesh.
Oval sesh.
The what?
The oval sesh.
Session is short for session.
Sesh.
In that same oval sesh.
Sesh?
Sesh.
Yes, sesh.
Session.
Sesh.
You call the sesh.
You're going to be a stickler about freedom
of speech, but you're going to use terms
like sesh.
Yes.
And sus.
I'm going to use all these terms.
Sus?
Sus.
Yeah, you don't know sus.
Where you been, man?
Sus used to be used to sus something
out.
No, that's double S.
Sus.
S-U-S is suspect.
Suspicious sus.
Wow.
Here's what the president said about former President
Biden.
Joe Biden didn't know what he was doing.
We had a man that didn't know what
he was doing.
We had a man, by the way, that
didn't approve.
If you take a look at what's happening
in Congress, we had a man that signed
almost everything with an auto pen.
And he didn't tell the people from the
auto pen, whoever was using it.
One man that used it predominantly said that
Biden only spoke to him twice, and it
was only about the weather.
So those pardons that he gave are illegal.
He gave illegal pardons.
And that includes the congressman that destroyed and
deleted all the information from J6.
They deleted everything because it turned out that
they were wrong.
It turned out that I offered 10,000
National Guard or soldiers, whatever they wanted, and
you wouldn't have had a problem.
And they turned it down.
Nancy Pelosi turned it down.
And the mayor of Washington, D.C., turned
it down.
They deleted everything and they destroyed it, illegally
destroyed it.
And Biden gave them a pardon.
And Biden gave a lot of other people
pardons that, frankly, would be in jail if
it wasn't for those pardons.
But those pardons now are illegal.
Illegal.
They're going to go after that.
Yeah, they're going to try.
I don't know how they're going to, how
far they're going to get.
Well, the big thing, which I'm sure you
heard, was, let me see.
It was the president's truth, his truth to
Pam Bondi.
I thought I had a clip of that.
Where he basically went on Truth Social and
posted a truth.
And said, Pam Bondi, what are you doing,
Pam Bondi?
You got to, like, arrest these people.
Where is it?
Oh, I guess I thought I clipped that.
Oh, well, nobody's arresting anybody.
We already know that.
Well, I think the way I read it
was President Trump is on board with getting
her out.
That's how I read it.
After the Miller Pod fiasco, I think she's
on the way out.
Because it was...
Well, she hasn't done anything.
No.
And it does appear as though she's just
a dud.
And you're right.
She sashays when she walks, which is a
bit somewhat annoying, to be honest about it.
Let me read this to you.
Let me see.
I have it here somewhere.
It was, he didn't end it with, thank
you for your attention to this important matter.
Which meant he was really pissed.
That would be true, yeah.
Everyone has the headline, but why don't they
just post a picture of it?
Oh, my goodness.
This is the problem we have.
It really is.
Oh, he deleted the post, apparently.
Okay, well...
Oh, he did.
Well, let me see.
Just to make it...
That's unusual for him.
Yes, to make it more sus.
By the way, we have some other suggestions
from the troll room.
The coal card.
Amazon offers hourly employee...
Please.
The coal card, the brown card, the algae
card, the jelly of the month card.
There you go.
Jelly of the month.
American jelly of the month.
Let's see.
This was, there was a, the president was
at the, where was he at?
The Cornerstone Institute.
Have you ever heard of the Cornerstone Institute?
No, I've never heard of them.
Well, it was a big gala.
With gays?
Yeah, yeah, the agays, of course.
Let me see.
The Cornerstone Institute.
American Cornerstone Institute.
Who are these people?
Oh, the Ben Carson's on the, on the
cover here.
Oh, they got American Cornerstone Institute.
What do these guys do?
Well, so they had a gala.
Yes, probably with.
And the president spoke there in tuxedo, no
less.
Then he said something pretty interesting.
Marty McCary is fantastic.
He's done amazing.
He's done great.
Thank you.
He's done great.
He's really amazing.
And they're really working on it with Bobby.
They're working on it.
Bobby's so non-controversial.
Wish we could get somebody who's a little
bit more exciting in there.
And but they're doing something.
And I think we have, frankly, that's a
big announcement.
I think we have a bigger announcement coming.
I hope on Monday, Marty.
It's enough.
We have to announce.
We have to make the announcement.
It's so big.
We can't let people keep doing this.
It's I don't want to wait any longer.
We don't need anything more.
And if it's wrong, it's right.
It's not going to be wrong.
But if it is wrong, it's it's fine.
We have to do it.
Because we're going to have an announcement on
autism on Monday.
Got to be Monday.
I don't want to do it Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday.
And I think it's going to be a
very important announcement.
I think it's going to be one of
the most important things that we will do.
Because what's happened with autism.
Do you know that if you go back
15 years, 15 years, maybe a little bit
longer, it was one in 10,000 children
had autism.
Bobby told me it's hard to believe that
this is correct.
That as of recently, it was one in
10 boys.
Big, big announcement.
Not Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Monday, Monday.
It's going to be Monday.
American Cornerstone Institute is Ben Carson's outfit.
Dr. Ben Carson.
Yeah, he's very well.
He's respected.
Yeah, he is.
Publicity, but he's respected.
Yeah, I think he's getting the presidential medal
of freedom from the president.
Well, that's your position brought up to autism.
I do have a series of Vax clips.
Oh, yay.
Vax mania.
This was played out because they're, they're all
everyone's.
Oh, they're going to do this.
They're going to do that.
Don't do anything.
Of course, this is typical.
It's like the, like a James Comer congressional
committee.
They're going to, oh, they're going to put
the piece.
They got there.
They're putting the dots together.
They're going to get Biden to Biden kid.
You know, they're going to get, you're going
to find it.
Find the banks.
They're going to find every this and that,
and then nothing comes of it.
So let's listen to the.
So they're all bent out of shape about
Kennedy's new Vax panel.
I know they haven't changed anything, but here
we go.
The secretary, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. has promised to change the country's
vaccine policies.
And during contentious meetings in Atlanta this week,
vaccine advisors for the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention began to do just that.
The panel was handpicked by Kennedy.
NPR health correspondent Ping Wong was at their
two day meeting and joins us now.
Hi, Ping.
Hey, Scott.
Hey, Scott.
What kind of changes to the advisors make?
So they voted to narrow the recommendation on
the COVID booster shot, and they also made
a change in the childhood vaccine schedule of
recommending against a measles and chicken pox combo
shot for young children.
And while these changes weren't as drastic as
some medical and public health experts had feared.
Stop the clip.
So that's it.
By the way, you're going to hear a
bunch of clips here where they're moaning and
groaning and moaning and groaning about the about
these massive changes.
One, the COVID shot.
They kind of changed the way they're looking
at it.
Two, they're going to split off the chicken
pox shot.
But you still got to get all these
shots.
That's it.
By the way, I'm just going to tell
you the advance.
That's that.
That's the big, horrible news.
Well, to be fair to NPR, we also
were able to fill about 45 minutes talking
about Florida ounces.
So, you know, the recommendation on the COVID
booster shot, and they also made a change
in the childhood vaccine schedule of recommending against
a measles and chicken pox combo shot for
young children.
And while these changes weren't as drastic as
some medical and public health experts had feared,
this meeting did show that these members who
Kennedy chose after firing the entire panel back
in June is starting to figure out how
this works.
And they're starting off on an ambitious agenda
backed by Kennedy, who has a history of
being very critical of vaccines.
Let's just make this news you can use
for a moment.
I'm sure a lot of people listening are
wondering, can I?
Let's make this news you can use.
I think we should use that.
That's a great slogan, John.
No agenda news you can use.
Works and they're starting off on an ambitious
agenda backed by Kennedy, who has a history
of being very critical of vaccines.
Wait, stop.
Let's just make this.
This ambitious agenda is what I just said.
Yeah, separating the way we look at COVID
vaccines, and we're going to split off one
of the vaccines, very ambitious, very ambitious.
It's very ambitious, very ambitious at how this
works.
And they're starting off on an ambitious agenda
backed by Kennedy, who has a history of
being very critical of vaccines.
Let's just make this news you can use
for a moment.
I'm sure a lot of people listening are
wondering, can I go into a pharmacy, a
CBS, whatever and get a vaccine shot like
I have the last few years?
Can I go into a pharmacy, a CBS,
whatever and get a vaccine shot like I
have the last few years?
The answer is mixed.
So in some states, yes.
And in other states, it's not clear.
And that's because the group has recommended the
vaccine to everybody under something called shared clinical
decision making, which means that patients are supposed
to talk to a medical provider about risks
and benefits before they get one.
But at this point, billions of COVID shots
have been given out.
So this kind of counseling would add a
new hurdle.
So wait a minute.
So they're going to tell you that the
shot is maybe dangerous or it can do
this and that and the other thing, and
that's bad.
But what they've already given, look, Adam, Adam,
Adam, Adam.
Yes, John.
You never call me Adam.
This must be serious.
They've given out a billion shots.
Yeah.
So what's the big deal?
Just keep giving shots out.
What could possibly be wrong with that?
That idea, just you've given a billion out.
Well, I'm sure that Scott asked that very
question in clip number two.
Wrong.
Also, the panel wanted input on what goes
into that counseling.
They voted to add more discussion about theoretical,
theoretical, theoretical, theoretical risks to the vaccine information
sheet.
And Metcalf-Levy, the panel member who led
that discussion, focused on things he said were
unknown.
Do we know all the answers?
No.
Did we hear satisfactory explanations from the companies
and the FDA?
Absolutely no.
Okay.
One thing about that clip, which I emphasize
there.
Yes, I heard it.
Theoretical.
They're going to give you the theoretical risks.
No, these aren't theoretical risks.
No, that's a lie.
These are actual risks.
It's a total lie.
These are documented contraindications and side effects that
have been, they don't make them up.
I mean, if it was anal leakage, you
wouldn't make that up.
You wouldn't put it in.
No, it's not a theoretical risk.
She says she uses a propagandistic term, theoretical
risk.
It's not theoretical.
Take away their license.
Oh, you know, now think about it.
You could do that with NPR stations.
I'm going to start to complain.
Yes, write a letter.
So that information sheet for consumers could go
from one that summarizes the most important documented
side effects of the COVID vaccine.
Things like fevers, body aches, a rare risks,
a rare risks, a rare risk of heart
problems for young men to one that includes
a lot of speculation, speculation, speculation, which could
confuse people and dissuade them from getting vaccinated.
Okay.
So that's clearly the headline here, but I'm
wondering what else was on the table.
Hold on a second.
What is her name again?
I need to look her up now.
What is her name?
Oh, she, they said it at the very
beginning.
Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. has promised to change the country's
vaccine policies.
And during contentious meetings in Atlanta this week,
vaccine advisors for the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention began to do.
Picked by Kennedy.
NPR health correspondent, Ping Wong was.
Ping Wong, Ping Wong.
Penguin.
Goodness.
How do I spell that?
Ping Wong, Ping Wong, Ping Wong, Ping White,
Ping Wong.
I'm not, we're racist.
I can't believe this.
No, you are.
You are not me.
Okay.
It's P-I-N-G, Ping Hong, Ping
Hong.
Okay.
I'll look her up while we play clip
number three.
So that information sheet for consumers could go
from one that summarizes the most important documented
side effects of the COVID vaccine.
Things like fevers, body aches, a rare risks,
a rare risks, a rare risk of heart
problems for young men.
So one that includes a lot of speculation,
speculation, speculation, which could confuse people and dissuade
them from getting vaccinated.
Okay.
So that's clearly the headline here, but I'm
wondering what else was on the table.
So do you think Pen Wong is a
doctor or has some expertise in the medical
field?
Wouldn't that, she is the correspondent here for,
would you not think?
I'm guessing she's a drug salesman.
Let's see.
She joined NPR in 2019 as the newsroom's
first Reflect America fellow, working with shows, desks,
and podcasts to bring more diverse voices to
air and online.
No, she's a diversity hire.
She's a DI hire.
Her reporting with NPR's visuals team on tracking
COVID-19 data won her an Edward R.
Murrow award.
Yeah, we haven't won that.
Her, not yet.
Wong's experiences span categories and continents.
Here we go.
She was the executive producer of Data Made
to Matter, a podcast.
Whoa, there's an Edward R.
Murrow award topic right there, Data Matter.
That's a podcast from the MIT Sloan School
of Management.
And, oh, and she has taught, what do
you think she has taught at Northeastern University?
Communications.
Podcasting.
What?
Yes.
There's a class in podcasting at Northeastern?
Apparently, she has taught podcasting at Northeastern University.
How come I never get these gigs?
How come you weren't contacted by her for
some syllabus information?
Podcasting course, Northwest, I gotta find it.
Northeastern.
Northeastern, oh, well, what's Northeastern University?
Well, I can't wait to see this.
Do they have a, it's a minor.
It's a minor.
But, yes, it's a, so you can get
a minor in podcasting.
You can actually get a degree.
Yes.
Wow, I should get an honorary degree.
I'll do the commencement speech.
In an era of profound disruption for legacy
media, podcasting has emerged as one of the
most durable and successful features of the new
media and information ecosystem.
Listeners, listenership continues to rise with devoted audiences
for long form audio storytelling.
Like, she's doing storytelling right here.
Narrative news, true crime, personality-driven interview shows,
et cetera.
This minor is for students from a variety
of disciplines interested in learning interviewing, performance, research,
and production skills required to create high-quality,
non-fiction audio programs in a variety of
formats.
I'm betting dollars, 10 bucks on the line
with anybody that she credits Adam Carolla with
inventing podcasting.
Ah, yes.
You only need a 2.0 grade average
to get in.
It's typical.
Well, that would be normal for podcasters.
For podcasters, yeah.
Podcast.
We get.
Okay.
All right, clip four.
So there was a proposal to recommend that
states require prescriptions for COVID vaccines, which would
make them much harder for patients to get.
And after a charged discussion on it, it
was defeated.
And the panel also tabled a proposal to
change the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for babies.
Now, some members said that the current policy,
which recommends a shot right after birth, is
working fine, and they saw no reason to
change it.
Now, there was some confusion, and it did
seem at times that members didn't seem to
fully understand how their votes would affect policies
and coverage.
To that point, what is the impact of
these votes?
What do they affect?
This group's recommendations form the basis for which
vaccines are covered by health insurance or subsidized
through federal programs.
And an example of how that works is
to look at the other vote that they
did take on the MMRV vaccine.
That's a combination shot for measles, mumps, rubella,
and chickenpox.
And this vaccine comes with a slightly higher
risk of causing fevers that can lead to
seizures in children under four.
Kids generally recover from them pretty quickly.
What?
Wait a minute.
So a kid under four gets this stupid
shot and they have seizures?
Yeah.
But they recover.
They tend to recover rather quickly.
I don't want my kid having seizures.
Theoretical.
Theoretical seizures.
Not actual seizures.
Just theoretical.
That's unbelievable.
It's completely believable.
So we finish off.
I think we finish off here.
They can also get the same protection from
getting the MMR and the chickenpox shot separately.
So that's how most kids get it.
But up to 15% of parents asked
for the combo shot.
And here's why.
According to pediatrician Cody Meissner, who's the only
member who served on this panel before.
Some parents don't want to administer.
Wait a minute.
I thought they kicked everybody off.
This guy has served on it before.
That's what they said.
They kicked everybody off, put a new group
in, but this guy was there before.
How does that work?
Some parents don't want to administer two doses
of a vaccine if they can receive one
and get the same degree of coverage.
Why are we taking away that option?
This is coverage, access, coverage, access.
We already know the insurance company said they're
going to cover the COVID vaccine.
We had that on the last show.
Yeah.
So this is just more of the same.
CBS had a report about this, which I
have queued up for us.
There was pushback during today's meeting of the
CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee as the panel debated
a new recommendation for the combined MMRV shot.
But if a parent wants to get a
single dose, why are we taking away that
option?
The same guy, same clip.
Isn't that amazing?
Yeah.
A single dose.
Why are we taking away that option?
The proposal, children under four should get one
shot for measles, mumps, and rubella, and then
a separate one for varicella, better known as
chicken pox.
This recommendation is going to create more confusion
among the public.
Earlier this year.
I'm confused.
It's not that hard.
Separate one for varicella, better known as chicken
pox.
This recommendation is going to create more confusion
among the public.
Earlier this year, Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. fired all the panel members and
picked their replacements, some who share his vaccine
skepticism.
Thursday, the committee chairman defended the new group.
You have falsely been called anti-vaxxers, but
your stance is not only pro-children, but
also pro-science, pro-public health, and pro
-vaccines.
Here on Capitol Hill, the fired CDC director
told lawmakers she was pressured by Secretary Kennedy
to rubber stamp the committee's recommendations without first
considering the scientific evidence.
He just wanted blanket approval.
The panel is also debating changes to the
hepatitis B vaccine recommendation.
Much of the data is considered pretty settled.
Dr. Jodi Guest is the senior vice chair
of the Department of Epidemiology.
She said most of the data is pretty
settled.
Listen to that again.
Fake evidence.
He just wanted blanket approval.
The panel is also- Hold on, I
don't want to hear it again.
Pro-public health and pro-vaccines.
Here on Capitol Hill, the fired CDC director
told lawmakers she was pressured by Secretary Kennedy
to rubber stamp the committee's recommendations without first
considering the scientific evidence.
He just wanted blanket approval.
The panel is also debating changes to the
hepatitis B vaccine recommendation.
Much of the data is considered pretty settled.
Dr. Jodi- What does that mean?
The data is settled?
Most of the data.
Is considered pretty settled?
Yeah, that's a vague thing.
You know, by the way, they're defending this
woman.
They should be playing- I don't have
the clips, but I could go back and
get them.
Rand Paul grilled her in front of Congress,
and she's an idiot.
He just wanted blanket approval.
The panel is also debating changes to the
hepatitis B vaccine recommendation.
Much of the data is considered pretty settled.
Dr. Jodi Guest is the senior vice chair
of the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University.
She says these vaccines are safe and effective.
And there's not new evidence out there that
we have been following.
There's not new evidence out there that we
have been following.
Is this woman a lawyer?
So there may be evidence out there, but
we're not following it.
We don't follow them on Twitter.
It would show that you would want to
change the guidance.
Dr. Guest also warns- That is-
that is- wow, I can't believe that.
So there is evidence out there, but we're
not following it, so we don't make any
changes.
Says these vaccines are safe and effective.
And there's not new evidence out there that
we have been following that would show that
you would want to change the guidance.
Dr. Guest also warns any changes could lead
to health insurance companies limiting coverage.
Ah, no.
No, they want your kids sick.
They want seizures.
Come on.
They're not going to change that.
It's a small investment.
Cover the vax.
Customer for life.
You know, you want to take some wagers
on what the big announcement is on Autism
Monday?
What do you think?
Well, here's what I- It can't be
- okay, so far Kennedy has been thwarted.
At every turn.
And they're still going after him.
And this new panel is useless.
And they're still going to give the kids
the 80 shots or whatever it amounts to.
I think it's- Including the hep B
shot four minutes after they're born, which is
ludicrous.
That was in the clip as well.
It's on the table.
I'm guessing they're going to come up with
nothing.
The big announcement is going to be something
that's inconsequential.
We'll give every child a gold card?
Well, obviously, from what we've been looking at
since the discredited report- What's the-
Research.
Discredited research from Andrew- What was his
name again?
The- I don't know.
Weizenhut now.
Vaccine.
Let me ask the bot.
Hold on a second.
Who was the scientist who did research that
proved autism was caused by vaccines, but was
discredited?
Well, that sucks.
Should we try it again?
Who was the scientist who did a research
survey that showed that vaccines cause autism and
was discredited, disbarred, and thrown out of society?
That'd be Andrew Wakefield.
Yes.
Okay.
Thank you.
Long way to go, Wakefield.
Wakefield.
Okay.
That's what I would be hoping because at
least millions of parents would have an answer
and we could have a lot of lawsuits.
That's the problem right there.
Well, maybe it's not.
Maybe it's a benefit if we can sue
a lot of these companies.
Well, I would be, yeah.
Also, if they just take these advertisers off
the air, that would help.
So they don't own the media.
They're going to have to do four minute
ads.
Four minute ads, which would be funny.
Yeah.
Because everyone would be like, oh, these ads
suck.
This medication sucks.
I don't want all that because you have
to have all of the side effects in
the ad.
That would be good.
Okay.
So I got the clips.
How much time do we have before we
go to a break?
Well, it depends.
What's your topic?
Well, there's a lot of clips here.
This is the clips you wanted from Matt
Gaetz's show where the guy who's embedded with
the Russian army goes on and on about
how Ukraine is not what we think it
is.
And this may be a piece of pure
propaganda.
I think we should do it.
I think we should do it now.
It could be a piece of propaganda.
It turns out I mentioned in the last
show and I got a couple of notes
mentioning other people, I guess, that have been
embedded in the Russian army that are Western
reporters and they're, I don't know who they
are.
I never heard of them.
This guy here is somewhat obscure as far
as I can tell.
I don't know if these reports are accurate.
Yeah, the disclaimer is clear.
It's hypothetical embeddedness.
I have no idea, but I think it's
definitely worth listening to.
And Matt Gaetz, a former congressman, is not
a dumb idiot.
No.
And so the fact that he's got this
guy on, his name's Pearson Sharp.
Spook name.
It's a spook name.
Is he even Brit?
No, but now you mentioned the spook name.
He has certain characteristics as possible, and he
has a kind of a spook joke at
the beginning of his presentation.
You'll hear it.
OAN investigative reporter Pearson Sharp, host of the
Sharp Report here on One America News, has
traveled to the front lines.
He's spent time with the troops fighting this
war, and he joins us now from Russia.
Pearson, first of all, it's good to see
you safe and sound.
It looked from some of the snippets of
your reporting, I was able to see that
you were pretty close to the front lines
and the fighting.
Tell us where you are and what you
have learned about this war from your reporting
and your journalism.
First, I'd like to read this pre-prepared
speech from my KGB handler.
I'm kidding.
Listen to this about Pearson Sharp from his
own website.
As a privacy junkie, I'm slowly getting rid
of my social media accounts.
Yeah, as a spook, that's what you do.
All right, good joke about the KGB.
All right.
Of course, if it was updated joke, it'd
be FSB, but he uses KGB because that's
a reference we all know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
FSB would be no good.
I agree.
Yeah, no one would get it.
But that's what it should be if he's
going to have be reading a prepared statement.
OK, so that was funny.
OK, so now I've got OK, the guy
has a sense of humor.
So here we go.
We're here in Nizhny Novgorod, and it's about
a four hour train ride east of Moscow.
And this is where some of the drone
attacks have been happening.
They've installed some jammers in the area to
block signal because they're trying to keep the
drones from attacking the military targets.
But in any case, this past week, we
were down in Donbass, which is a large
region down near Ukraine.
And we were in Donetsk.
We went to Mariupol.
We went to the Azovstal steel plant.
We went to a couple of other small
towns that have just been absolutely decimated by
the fighting.
And being down here has been incredibly eye
opening as far as the kinds of people
that you meet, the kinds of things you
see that just destroy the Western narrative about
what's happening here and what life is actually
like in Russia, really.
How are people dealing with all of the
death?
I mean, that's a very difficult question to
answer.
How does anyone deal with the death?
The people here are living their lives as
best they can.
Donbass has been the center of a lot
of the fighting.
And we went to Donetsk, which was the
front line of the war for quite a
while.
It's now moved quite a bit west from
there.
But the people have tried to integrate the
war into their lives the best that they
can.
John, I got to tell you, this guy
is definitely a spook.
He has no bio, no wiki page.
OAN has...
Pearson Sharp grew up in a small farming
town in central Ohio.
He moved to Colorado for school, where he
attended the University of Colorado in Boulder, studying
English and creative writing, I'll say.
There's nothing on this guy.
So there's no profile at all, which is
like one of the earmarks.
Yes.
On his own page, I'm a show host
and foreign correspondent.
I cover international conflicts from the migration crisis.
So you spotted it immediately with his name.
That's a spook name.
That's a total spook name.
All right.
Well, good.
Okay, so let's assume he's a spook, which
is good to know.
We don't know who he's working for.
And what's the point of this?
Because the point of this is there's got
to be something going on here.
Tell me it's in this clip three.
I think it's in clip four.
Okay.
We went to a park in Donetsk, and
it was a memorial park.
They had a little shrine there for the
children that have been killed by the Ukrainian
shelling.
And so far, the running count just in
Donetsk, not all of Donbass, but just in
Donetsk is 257 children that have been killed
from Ukrainian shelling.
And it was called the Alley of Angels.
And it was very powerful.
Oh, that sounds horrendous.
And it certainly animates President Trump's efforts to
try to end this war and end the
killing.
Little children should not be dying because of
this type of geopolitics.
It's a tragedy.
Pierson, we've seen photos of you interacting with
the people who are fighting this war.
What can you tell us about those people?
So we actually got to visit some of
the troops who are fighting for the Russians
against the Ukrainians.
And the incredible part was that these aren't
Russian soldiers.
These are Ukrainians.
And they've decided to join with Russia and
fight against the Ukrainian regime, as they call
it.
And when I asked them how they felt
about fighting against fellow Ukrainians and, you know,
are they fighting for Russia now?
Do they want to see Russia win?
They say, we're not fighting for Russia.
We're fighting to free Ukraine.
And I think that says a lot about
the mindset of the people here.
They don't think that Ukraine is free right
now.
The Ukrainians living there don't think that it's
free.
And these people, the soldiers that I spoke
with, none of them joined the army willingly.
They were grabbed off of the streets, thrown
into vans and forced to fight.
One of them was a university student.
And he was trying to get his doctorate
because apparently there's some kind of loophole that
once you get your doctorate, you don't have
to fight.
And so he was literally at his desk
at school.
And the henchmen came in and dragged him
out, kicking and screaming, and threw him into
a van.
Suddenly you're in the army now.
So he was in the Ukrainian army, but
then switched sides and joined the Russian side
of the fight?
And joined the Russians.
Yes.
Wow.
To fight against the Lenin.
Now, the interesting little factor there was the
fact that Gates heard the interview going in
the wrong direction.
He adjusted it because it was not clear
what was going on.
And so the guy was, so he's been
conscripted out of school, right out of his
classroom before he got his PhD and ended
up, this is one of those, this didn't
happen stories.
But there's a message here about this whole
thing that is through Gates that's being done
for some purpose or other.
And I thought it was definitely worth, I
mean, I didn't play it on the last
show, but I think it's probably worth listening
to.
We went to a park in Donetsk, and
it was a memorial park.
They had a little shrine there for the
children that have been killed.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I cued up the same one twice.
My apologies.
Wow.
Conscription may not be all it's cracked up
to be.
If that type of...
No, the soldiers, they said they don't want
to fight for Zelensky.
They don't, they called it the regime.
They don't want to fight for him.
And I asked them, this is your opinion,
of course, the troops here, but what about
the rest of the Ukrainians?
How do they feel about this?
And they said, no one wants to fight
for Zelensky.
No one sees him as legitimate.
They all think that he's an illegitimate ruler
who's been propped up in place and is
basically a dictator at this point.
And no Ukrainians want this war to continue.
They all want it to end.
Hmm.
Well, he was born in London, I've found.
Attended University College London, the Dragon School of
Oxford.
What's the Dragon School?
I don't know.
I've been to Oxford and I haven't seen
that school.
It's like some kind of Hogwarts.
Winchester College, Trinity College, Cambridge.
No, that can't be right.
That's, this is...
It's got to be a different guy.
That's error.
That's error.
Making errors.
I can't be right for the guy.
Well, yeah, the conscription, I mean, this video
is on Telegram of people being dragged off
the street, thrown into vans all the time.
That's been going on for the entire, you
know, three years of the war.
So, yeah.
We're not getting good information one way or
the other.
No, no, we're not.
Well, then we'll go into our break here
with the latest news from Europe.
Brussels airport is the worst affected by this
outage and there's real scenes of chaos at
the airport.
Lots of flights cancelled, lots of flights delayed.
The airport is telling people don't come unless
you have it confirmed that your flight is
actually taking off because the agents are having
to do things manually because that system software
that processes ticket check-in and luggage check
-in is offline.
So this is different than when you would
have, let's say, an outage for air traffic
control because that means the planes literally can't
take off.
This can be solved by surging staff over
to the airport to be able to process
all the check-ins manually.
So I'm told they are trying to do
that.
There's a number of other airports affected as
well.
London Heathrow and Berlin airport, Berlin Brandenburg airport,
for instance, they are also seeing these scenes
of check-in agents having to manually check
people in, which is obviously slowing things down.
But this is very worrying if this is
indeed a cyber attack, which the evidence is
pointing to right now, because Collins Aerospace is
a very, very big company.
It manages airport check-in across the world.
And especially worryingly, it's also a defense company.
So the fact that it could have been
subject to this kind of cyber attack is
very worrying.
But transport sector analysts that I've talked to
over the past months have said they've been
worried about something like this because these types
of services that can shut down multiple airports
with just one attack are a very tempting
target.
Now, I think this is a hit job
from a competing company because every single news
report had the same payoff.
Oh, it's Collins.
You know, Collins, a major defense contractor, very,
very worrying.
Collins.
And where does it hit?
Brussels.
Brussels.
Brussels, where all of the European muckety-mucks
live and work.
I'm not going to argue that at all.
I think it could even be Microsoft.
Microsoft doing it because they're not using Windows
on these systems in Europe that they're talking
about.
They're talking about somebody else's software.
I mean, it's not beyond the pale because
back in the day during the OS-2
era— Oh, what a great OS that was.
During the OS-2 era, when they came
out with a version called—and they made the
claim IBM did that.
Didn't you write a book about it?
I did.
Wow.
One of my 27 books that I've done.
Instant bestseller.
What was the scripting language called again?
Oh, I forgot.
That's what was so appealing.
First of all, it was— It had a
nice scripting language, there's no doubt about it.
But I didn't even finish the story.
So during the—when they came out with crash—it
was called the warp version of the OS
-2 warp.
Warp, OS-2 warp.
Crash-proof, crash-proof.
So Steve Ballmer would go into the IBM
booth with a disk and just stick it
in any random computer and crash it.
And he did this.
It was a big joke amongst everybody there.
Ballmer would pull the stunt.
That's a— Classic Microsoft.
I don't put it past Microsoft to do
stuff like that to this day.
Classic.
Rex.
Rex.
Yeah, Rex.
Restructured extended executor.
Wow, man.
I love that.
Yeah, it was supposed to be crash-proof.
That was right before we found out that
if you sent a flood ping to a
a Windows NT computer that it would give
it blue screen of death.
You remember that?
No, I don't remember that.
It was so fun.
You have someone—you see someone across the way
working on a Windows NT, and if you
had his, you know, IP address—we even worked
over the internet.
You could send a flood ping and it
would get blue screen of death.
It was amazing.
It was good times.
Can't do that anymore.
What fun.
Yes, it was super fun.
With that, I want to thank you for
your courage and say in the morning to
you, the man who put the seas in
the coal card.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end.
The one, the only, Mr. John C.
DeMora.
Yeah, well, in the morning, you go see
Adam Curran.
In the morning, you go see Bruce LeGraff
feeding the air subs in the water.
And all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning, to the trolls in the
troll room.
Stop moving around.
Let me count you.
There we go.
Oh, 1,982.
That's low, but I think a lot of
people are watching this Charlie Kirk memorial.
You know, I'm going to say something.
And this is, I said, I say these
things and you maybe always, you wishful thinking.
Wishful thinking, I'll say it in advance.
Yes, such as when I said, I think
President Trump can go all the way.
I think this Charlie Kirk murder might spark
a long overdue revival in America.
Hey, four more years, baby.
We'll see.
Four more years.
I love my job and I love what
I do.
The trolls are in the troll room.
You can join them at noagendastream.com or
my preference trollroom.io. And they are there
listening live because they either know it or
they have a modern podcast app.
You know, probably not discussed at Northeastern University.
We have all of the brand new functionality
in the modern podcast apps.
Not that legacy Apple thing or certainly not
Spotify.
We are not even on Spotify.
We refuse to be on Spotify.
It hasn't hurt us.
Instead, we're on all those modern podcast apps.
We have chapters.
We got transcripts.
We had all kinds of cool thingamabobs, including
when we go live, which we do on
Thursdays and Sundays, we send out the bat
signal.
Your podcast app will tell you that you
can listen live.
You can listen live to us in the
podcast app.
It's like on demand and live.
And when we publish it, your modern podcast
app will let you know within 90 seconds
why deal with any other podcast app, podcastapps
.com.
18 years in October, we just celebrate 1800
episodes.
18 years, a long time.
And we've been doing it value for value,
which means we are the true essence of
free speech because they're free, free because we're
not selling anything.
All we want is for you to consider
if you got any value out of the
work that we do as a public service
under the guise of free speech, just send
us something back and keep us going for
more years.
One of the ways you can help is
by sending us artwork.
There's a lot of things you can do.
NoahGenArtGenerator.com is where we are always hunting
for a piece of art to use for
every single episode.
Every single one is different and often interesting.
But often, you know, we had the big
1800 episode on Thursday.
And, you know, you know, when you get
Darren O'Neill twice in a row, you
know that the art was bad.
Wow.
What is this?
What is this thing with you and Darren?
When you got a feud going?
I got no feud with Darren.
He knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Darren agrees.
Like, yeah, that's crazy.
I can't believe that I typed in.
Give me a road sign with No Agenda
Way, 1800, No Agenda Way and Curry Dvorak
at an intersection.
OK, AI, go.
That's all he did.
I think he's doing more.
I think he's doing something to brighten up
his images because his images have none.
He pays attention.
That's one guy in the group that pays
attention.
And you bitch and moan and bitch and
moan and complain and complain and complain about
the orange nature of a lot of these
images.
And all it takes is just a quick
shot and, you know, put it in Photoshop
and take the orange shot.
Boom.
This is true.
This is true.
Is he the only guy that pays attention
to that?
I noticed it.
Well, Darren's wife works and he just stays
at home, podcasts.
No, he's a home dad.
As far as I understand.
Hey, I'm happy.
He's our pre-show guy.
Darren's rock and roll pre-show is important.
It riles everybody up, gets them all ready.
You know, there's always a Ted Nugent song
played.
He used to play Taylor Swift all the
time.
He stopped doing that.
Yeah, it's a good thing he stopped.
Too many complaints.
So we were looking for, we always like
to go pretty traditional, something with 1800 on
it.
And pretty much everybody failed.
Yeah, we had a lot of 1800 Cuervos.
We had a bunch of rando women.
We liked the 1800 Cuervos, but it was
all too small.
You couldn't read it.
And the one that we liked, like Curry
DeVore, like, okay.
Servant.
Let me see.
Where are all these?
They scroll down to the next page.
Next page.
Hold on.
There's a lot of art, of course.
But we should just integrate an LLM in
this thing already.
So we liked, I like Matthew Dropko, but
it was too small.
You like the, I really like Nico Symes.
But again, it was too small.
And yeah, you like the Darren with the
two glasses, but you see Adam Curry, John
C.
Dvorak on the glass.
You couldn't read it from the event.
I couldn't read it at all.
At all.
The people, you know, this is the problem
with AI.
They go, it's so easy to make art,
but people don't pay attention to anything anymore.
So we have to call you out on
the things you're doing wrong.
But maybe once it's created, you know, it's
very hard to, it's very hard to tell
the model, change this, change that.
It screws everything up.
Honorary mention, though, for Matthew Dropko.
The Cory Booker clutching his pearls was dynamite.
Oh, yes.
That was hilarious.
Of course, he has eight fingers on one
hand.
That's a minor problem.
Gee, that's not AI.
What?
You're using one of the older models, Matthew.
He literally has one, two, three, four, five,
six fingers.
Very nice.
Very interesting.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
And they're all bent, bent and warped, which
is OK, but that's probably what the AI
thought clutching looked like.
Yeah, but we were going to pick something
that said it definitely had 1800 on it.
So yeah, of course, of course.
Well, maybe, but that was a it was
a funny idea.
Yeah, that was poorly, too many fingers, poorly
timed, too many fingers.
Exactly.
But we appreciate the effort.
You prompt jockeys, you've pretty much chased away
every single actual artist.
It's too bad.
I'm going to do the same with end
of show mixes.
It's all happening.
It's all here.
Yeah, you can see it coming down Broadway.
Yeah, you can fight against all you want.
But like that, that mix that we have
coming up is a good mix.
About the No Agenda Nights and the Dames
is a good mix.
You can't fight it.
It's a good mix.
Boy, you can fight it.
I tried.
I've given up.
Like we because I have nothing else.
Everyone's like, oh, man, it's like too much
work.
You just throw it in the air.
It's too much work.
This is the laziness thing we brought up
earlier in the show.
Well, it's like a theme in the country.
Let me ask you this.
If we could do this show with AI
and not have to show up and just
make it happen, press a button, do some
prompts like, OK, talk about the gold card.
Talk about free speech versus freedom of speech.
If we did like 50 lines of prompting
and the show did itself, would we just
stay in bed?
If it was as good as it could
be, if it was as good as the
real show, I would.
But it's never going to be.
That's the problem.
I mean, AI is creeping into everything, but
it's not creeping into certain things it can't
do.
For one thing, the personality of AI sucks.
It stinks.
It's got no voice, no personality.
It's flat, soulless.
Bemrose says these lazy AI images is just
value for value.
Very rude, Sir Bemrose.
Very rude.
Yeah.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
We still have a piece of art, but
take some pride in your work, people.
Get rid of the orange, lighten it up,
make your blacks blacks, your whites whites, and
check the fingers.
Check your fingers.
Of course, we always thank people who support
us with monetary value, $50 and above.
We always want to mention them and thank
them profusely for supporting the show.
It's the only income we generate.
No tote bags, no hats.
How many I heard NPR?
NPR like, you know, if you only give
us $25, we'll send you a hat.
It's like they don't understand value for value.
Do you think that Democrat listeners, that they
just are stingy?
What do you think?
They had a matching donation, a $15,000
matching donation the other day for On the
Media.
Stingy.
Which reminds me, I got a note here.
Hold on, where's my note?
I got a note here from one of
our producers.
And this is, hold on, this is producer
Nate.
Nate says, ITM Adam, I've been listening since
your first rogan appearance and haven't missed a
show since.
I love the work you two do.
I could go on, but I'll try to
get to the brass tacks.
I am regrettably a douchebag as I haven't
donated once.
Well, it's free speech.
What do you expect?
But I have hit several people in the
mouth.
During show 1800, you mentioned having some challenge
coins made for the Rubbleizer donation.
Finally, an opportunity to add value back to
the show enters my mind.
I have very close friends who operate a
third-generation family-owned casting company that does
small and large batch castings.
Locally, the business provides medals and trophies for
schools, as well as custom commissions for anything
from belt buckles to shirt pins.
Made in America, baby.
They also have made tons of merch for
basically any band you can think of that
has been big since your MTV days.
I would gladly pay for the commission and
materials required for the first 33 challenge coins
and mail them to you, either you or
John, once they're done.
I'm not an artist, however, so I would
need someone to render an image for the
coins.
If you're interested, feel free to respond anytime.
Much love and keep up the good work.
Well, that's a beautiful offer.
That's great value for value.
All we need now is a beautiful design.
What do we need for that?
You like a high-end?
No, I think we should just give it
to Paul into doing it.
He did the original challenge coin, still one
of the best.
You don't want to use Made in America
by Nate for free?
No, no.
I'm talking about the design of the coin,
not the manufacturing of the coin.
Oh, OK.
Well, Paul doesn't even listen anymore.
Well, he would probably perk up if I
told him we need a new design for
a new challenge coin.
He'd come up with something.
Well, tell him.
Tell him.
I will.
Yeah, please tell him.
And then we can pass the information on
to Jay, and she can coordinate the whole
thing.
OK, excellent.
Hey, we have staff.
I love it.
Yeah, so we have a workflow, I figured
out.
It's called Workflow.
We have Workflow.
We have Workflow.
Woo!
Everybody, we got Workflow.
Thank you very much, Brandon Mango from Midland,
Pennsylvania.
And we always have special titles for our
top donors for each show, although any amount,
any time.
We love it all, and we appreciate it.
It's value for value, so the value is
only something you can determine.
And Brandon thinks it's very valuable what we
do.
$1,052.60, which I'm thinking is $1
,000 plus fees.
And he says, any chance y'all can
let me know how much I've donated?
Love you.
Love the show.
I'm sure Jay responded to him.
And for that, he becomes an executive producer.
$300 and above always gets you an executive
producer credit.
$200 and above gets you an associate executive
producer.
And in both instances, we will always read
your note.
And I guess you're going to become a—
wow, he'll become a secretary general today and
tonight.
It's beautiful.
And thank you very much, Brandon.
We appreciate it.
Well, let me stop everything and say no.
What do you mean, no?
We can't tell you how much— The idea
is, the way we do this— No, but
I thought— Okay.
You have to keep your— No, those days—
Years ago, Eric had some mechanism where he
could look at some of the past donations
and come up with a number.
But it's always been on the honor system
regardless.
I just thought that— It's always been on
the honor system.
We want you to keep your own books.
Yes.
Keep your own books, people.
Thank you for saying— And I think people
should be reminded of that.
And that's why I stopped.
I stopped the presses right there.
Yes.
Thank you.
Because most people can figure it out.
You can look at your checkbook or you
can look at your bank.
There's ways of knowing how much money you—
I mean, you better know how much money
you're spending on anything.
You should, yes.
Joshua— What is this?
What do you think?
Coffet?
Coffet?
Coffelt?
Coffet?
Coffelt.
Coffelt.
Coffelt.
Coffelt.
He's in Grove City, Ohio.
And he came in with 51538.
Hi, Tim and John and Adam.
Thank you for your courage.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has made me
realize that the country is still in dire
need of the service you provide.
Ah, there we go.
I think so, too.
I want to do my part to ensure
that you're able to continue doing what you
do.
For four more years, this is my first
donation.
It needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
If it has not already been claimed, I
would like to be named the Secretary General
of the Unknown Unknowns.
Sounds good to me.
Can I please get some baby-making karma?
And can you play the following clips slash
jingles?
Trump, they're eating the dogs.
John's mac and cheese.
Alex John's...
Durka Durka?
Durka Durka?
Yes.
You know what that is?
I don't know.
Shut up already.
It's science.
And the baby-making karma.
They're eating the dogs.
You slaves can get used to mac and
cheese.
Mac and cheese.
Macaroni and cheap cheddar melted together.
Durka Durka.
Mohammed Jihad.
Durka Durka Durka Durka.
Shut up already.
Science.
You've got...
Karma.
At night, John checks in from Tucson, Arizona.
$343.33. He says he added $10 for
fees.
Not sure how that works.
Next time, I'll write a note and send
the check.
That saves everybody money, John.
ITM Adam and John.
This donation of $333.33 plus fees is
for a birthday wish for Archduchess Kim, Keeper
of the Nutty Fluffers.
She is definitely on the mend, and we
are very happy about that.
Happy birthday, Kim!
All uppercase.
Kim shares her birthday with Bilbo the Frodo.
Please excuse the Lord of the Rings reference.
And the equinox.
That's right.
Today is the equinox.
It is?
Yes, it's the equal daylight and nighttime.
Today is the equinox.
She'll also be 42, so we'll soon have
the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
That's right.
I enjoyed your discussion of drive-thru liquor
stores a few episodes back.
I remember driving through one for a six
-pack while test-driving a car with the
dealer.
Times have certainly changed.
Yes, Kim was a little kid in the
backseat with her sister.
She went ahead and survived my upbringing anyway.
Jingles, F-35 Karma, and screw your freedom.
Screw your freedom.
You've got Karma.
So, Sir Lawrence of Dystopia, who's over here
in Oakland and was at the meetup, came
in with 333.48, the Oakland meetup, and
he had a complaint, which I found somewhat
distressing.
ITM gentlemen, while listening on the Sunday show,
I was horrified to find that my cash
donation was not all there.
Oh no.
If you recall, John, I had the envelope
passed down the table to you.
It was sealed in wax with my No
Agenda Night Ring Signet ring, and I don't
think any of the people there would have
taken it.
I think I got it and probably opened
it.
I'm not sure what was in it, because
you don't tell me here.
I'd taken it.
The cash donations get piled up, and then
obviously this one was somehow forgotten.
Yes.
Unless it was less than 50, which there
were none, so it had to be at
least $100.
So, you take $100, $100 to $100.
Taken as if they were all non-douchebag
No Agenda Americans.
It is possible you may have stopped off
at Club Mallard on the way back from
the Pizzeria Violeta, had a drink, and tipped
the excellent bartender a nice fat tip.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's gonna...
That sounds possible.
I don't think so, no.
But I go straight home.
Uh, or considering my rather poor performance at
my IDFA match the following day, it's possible
I counted twice only to short the best
podcast in the universe.
That ends now.
Congratulations on 18 glorious years, Sir Lawrence of
Dystopia, Baronet of Maxwell Park, Kilo Oscar 6,
Echo Juliet, Echo 73s.
73s, Kilo 5, Alpha Charlie Charlie.
We'll see you on the 2 gigahertz back
channel from Artemis 1.
Joe Grillo, soon-to-be Sir Joseph Lord
of the Central Jersey Swamps, 333.34. Oh,
thank you.
He adds a penny to the jar.
Hey, John and Adam, if someone told me
I would someday donate $1,000 to a
podcast, I would have told them that they
needed their head examined.
Well, I guess I need my head examined
because this third donation of 333.34 puts
me into the knighthood category.
I couldn't possibly ask you to kick in
the penny considering how much bitching John does
about the lackluster donations of late.
There you go.
Please knight me, Sir Joseph Lord of the
Central Jersey Swamps, and if you'd be so
kind, provide some gumbo parmesan and albida beer
for the round table.
We already did this donation.
I think we did too, didn't we?
Yeah.
Did we?
Yeah.
Because albida beer, we got into a big
discussion about it.
But I don't remember.
No, I think this is different.
I do remember him saying what he said
about, I didn't think I'd ever donate $1
,000 to a show.
I don't know how it got on here
twice, but here it is again.
Well, should I just read it just in
case we're wrong?
Yeah, finish it off.
Might as well.
It's there.
Here's the part I don't remember.
If you'd be so kind, provide some gumbo.
That is, I do remember that.
Please mention my band, the Gumbo Goombas.
Yeah, he came in.
This was a letter he had that had
Gumbo Goombas on top.
I read this letter.
All right.
Well.
I don't know how it got unless he
did it again, which is possible because the
original one was a handwritten note.
It wasn't on the spreadsheet.
Hmm.
Well.
But a lot of people do this, by
the way.
Not a lot, a few, a number of
people have done this.
Not enough.
Not enough.
They send in a note that is handwritten
with the check, and then they send in
the same thing somehow through the PayPal.
So I believe he's just getting double publicity,
which is somehow he pulled it off.
Good job.
More power to him, to the Gumbos.
The Goomba Gumbos.
Good job, everybody.
Okay.
Onward.
Okay, now we go to Linda Lupatkin in
Lakewood, Colorado.
No, that's it.
We're done.
No, we're not done.
Kelly and Monica are both in Canada, and
their donations amount to $240 each at least.
Okay.
Yeah, in Canadian.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Go for Linda.
Linda says Jobs Karma.

Yes, Kelly Spongberg, no stranger to the show
from Rocky Mountain House in Alberta, Canada.
Came in with $189.55, Canadian dollarette.
So, associate executive.
No, no, no.
That's American after the 250 bucks for the
Canadian dollarette.
Thank you.
I got you.
So, they will be associate executive producers.
Sir Kelly and Dame Andrea are pleased to
announce the completion of our business expansion at
Metal Dog Machines in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
This donation is to both celebrate the show's
1800th milestone and all Dame Andrea's work as
a general contractor.
All right.
Huh, beautiful.
And last on our list is Monica Blansing.
She's in Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada.
You guys should meet up.
A hundred, that'd be $240.48, I think
is what it comes to.
Happy belated 18th anniversary.
Thank you.
All right.
Belated, well, you can do it again in
October.
It's not quite belated until October 20th something.
1800 episodes, we appreciate it.
Yeah, that's what she meant.
And we appreciate all of our executive and
associate executive producers as always.
Thank you so much for your courage.
And of course, these credits are entirely real
and accepted by the Hollywood bigwigs.
Go to imdb.com.
You'll see over a thousand no agenda executive
and associate executive producers.
It also works in your LinkedIn profile or
on your ex or if you're on it,
on your blue cry.
And we'll be thanking the rest of our
value for value supporters in our second segment,
$50 and above.
And again, congratulations to this associate executive and
executive producers.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the
mouth.
Shut up, Slade.
Shut up, Slade.
Silence is golden.
So somebody sent me a clip, this clip,
which is, this is Newsome.
And this is a short clip that I
pulled it off Twitter.
And Newsome has been getting nothing but grief
because he's trying to act like Trump and
he's a tough guy and he's cussing a
lot.
So somebody pointed out, this is Newsome.
Now he's decided to change course and act
like Biden.
And if you listen to this clip, he
sounds like Biden except he's missing the no
joke.
What was the other thing Biden used to
say?
No joke, man.
No joke.
No, it's not a joke.
It's not a joke.
It's not a joke.
I'm not kidding.
And this sort of thing, because this-
I'm not lying.
This response to this particular bogus story is
every known meme of things that didn't happen
were posted.
And in fact, I collected a few of
them for the future use of the newsletter.
It's like nobody believes a word of this
story, which makes it again, more like Biden,
one of his cockamamie screwball stories.
And this is just nonsense.
This is a chill.
This is chilling.
This is serious.
I walked into a restaurant the other day,
entire staff came out, started hugging me and
crying.
The hell is that?
The United States of America, what he's doing
to our diverse communities, what he's doing to
the fabric of our society.
Yeah, he does a little bit like corn
pop.
He was a bad dude.
There's a Biden cadence and stupid.
That's funny.
Yeah, no one cares about it, by the
way.
No one cares about Biden, except for President
Trump, who wants to undo all the pardons.
Yeah, well, that's definitely what's happening.
And so since we're on California, do one
more clip on, this is not from Newsom,
but it's about Newsom.
And this is the Cali band.
It says band, but it's about the ban
on ice masks, legal ban on it.
Yeah.
Okay.
California will be the first state to ban
most law enforcement, including federal immigration agents, from
covering their faces while on official duty.
Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law
today, saying the masked law enforcement pulling people
off the streets is a step toward authoritarianism
in Trump's America.
A few other states are considering similar measures.
The law does allow exceptions for things like
riot gear, medical masks, and undercover work.
In the past, I said it's officers wear
masks to prevent being identified in videos and
photos, online, and facing threats.
This is an amazing world we live in.
You know, the very state that forced everyone
to wear a mask still does from time
to time.
Well, if you listen to that report carefully,
there is an out, which is instead of
wearing the normal mask that the ICE guys
are wearing, they just put on a medical
mask.
Yeah.
It said right there, except for medical masks,
so you can go out there like a
COVID.
Yeah, that's an out.
So you wear that, you wear a little
blue mask, and you know, screw you.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
Looks like we have a deal.
The deal has been approved on the phone.
I don't think we've papered it yet, but
we got a deal.
We have a deal.
We got a deal.
It's like, I got a deal.
I spoke to the guy.
We got a deal.
Here we go.
The deal is for TikTok.
Video sharing app TikTok's future in the US
has long hung in the balance, but Donald
Trump says his Chinese counterpart approved a deal
over the phone as they plan to meet
at the APEC regional summit next month.
As you know, we approved the TikTok deal,
and we're in the process.
We have some great investors, big, some of
the biggest in the world, because we have
to get it signed, I guess.
Chooses security and surveillance concerns over American users'
data.
Washington passed a law last year mandating that
TikTok, run by Chinese parent company ByteDance, must
sell its US operations or risk going offline.
ByteDance has expressed its willingness to negotiate and
keep its estimated 170 million users in the
US.
We thank President Xi Jinping and President Donald
J.
Trump for their efforts to preserve TikTok in
the United States.
ByteDance will work in accordance with applicable laws
to ensure TikTok remains available to American users
through TikTok US.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal
could involve the US government receiving a multi
-billion dollar fee from TikTok in exchange for
facilitating negotiations with China.
Trump's stance on TikTok has changed since returning
to office, and he credits the app with
helping him win a second term via young
voters.
He's delayed implementing the sale deadline multiple times,
the latest now until December 16th.
The app's fate has been caught up in
a sweeping tariff spiral between Washington and Beijing
that has strained relations between the world's top
two economies.
So let's talk about this for a second.
A, who do you think the buy...
It's got to be multiple buyers at this
point.
I presume...
Yeah, Oracle's one of them.
Yeah, Oracle has the data already as part
of Project Dallas or whatever they call that.
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, for harvesting the data, the US data
in Oracle, which is where a lot of
your data is harvested.
Who else?
Who else would be in on this?
It was Andreesen Horowitz is one of them,
and there's a third partner, and I'm trying
to think who it is.
Can't remember.
You know, your bot there would know.
I'm not going to ask the bot.
The bot doesn't know anything.
But so there's...
What are the chances that it'll just suck?
Well, the problem is that they're still negotiating
about the algorithm.
It's so...
I could write this algorithm.
You think so?
Yeah, I know so.
I like...
Why don't you give them a call?
I like red.
You get red stuff.
That's what they're...
That's what it looks like to me too.
Yes.
I like black preachers that do the falling
thing.
Boom, you get them all.
Yeah.
I like blue hair complaining and crying about
Trump.
Boom, you get it all.
It's very...
It's a very simple algorithm.
And then the monetization is the shop.
That's the problem.
You know, because of the...
Well, De Minimis is probably still high enough
at $200 that you can still get most
of that junk in without import duty.
But that's my impression.
But I mean, is it still making...
Or is it making $8 billion a year?
I think is what it was.
I don't know.
I think your robot would know.
I don't care.
Get your own robot.
Get your own robot, man.
I'm not getting a robot in the house.
This is just like an intrusion.
You know, I was thinking about, you know,
Optimus Prime and all these robots and that
ridiculous robot expo where all the...
Where they're boxing the boxing robots that kids
box for crap.
They're boxing and they're playing soccer and it
all sucks.
It totally blows.
It's really funny.
The thing is, like people always want a
humanoid robot.
That makes no sense to me.
I have a robot.
I have one robot in my house and
I love this robot.
It's my second one, actually.
And that's the vacuum cleaner.
Oh, it's not from Roomba, is it?
No, it's from Shark.
Because Shark...
Oh, okay.
That's fine.
No, Shark has one.
Oh, I have no doubt that China has
an entire layout of my house.
I mean, I really despise that part.
But it's so...
Because of Phoebe.
Phoebe's shit.
Oh my goodness.
I forgot to let her in.
Oh boy.
Stop the tape.
Yeah, let me stop the tape.
Hold on a second.
The poor dog is burning up.
You know, I think I liked it better
when you played the slide whistle.
Slide whistle was better.
Yeah, well.
So the ASPCA, they're going to come and
take her away, I'm sure.
Why?
Well, it's like it's 85, it's almost 90
degrees.
She's in the...
Oh!
She's in the...
Well, she's a big white hairy dog.
She's in the corner of the yard where
there's a little bit of shade.
She's all curled up like, I'm frying, Daddy.
Oh no.
Don't you have a doggy door?
This dog needs a human door.
We should teach the dog how to open
the door.
Yeah, okay.
Anyway, I thank you.
I also took the opportunity to urinate and
get some water for myself.
Anyway, we were talking about dog.
I don't...
What were we talking about?
Oh, that's a good question.
The shark vacuum cleaner.
Oh yeah, it's monitoring and napping your house.
Yes, but they have a special version that
is specifically for pet fur.
And it's really good.
And I love that thing.
We call it Steve McLean.
And every night at 11, Steve McLean goes
around.
And that's an actual robot that is functional.
It doesn't look like Rosie from the Jetsons
vacuuming.
This is what I don't get.
How stupid.
Like, you're spending all this battery and energy
and gyroscopic power on keeping this humanoid thing.
Who cares?
Oh, look, it walks just like a human.
It can jump.
Make it functional.
Don't make it look like a human.
I've never understood that.
Am I just obsessing too much about this?
No, I've always felt the same way.
I always...
And I point out to people that they
all have robots already.
The word processor is a typist.
And you hit the button and it types
out a bunch of documents for you.
That's a robot.
It's a robot.
So there's other examples.
Yes.
Something's happening in the UK.
It's coming here.
I had a long talk with Kyle Biderman
about this.
Man, Lindsey Graham's in bed with Kash Patel,
which he took...
No, I thought you were going to say
he was in bed with the Queen.
Well, believe me, Kyle Biderman got the joke
already.
He thought it was funny.
And I said, digital ID, man, it's coming.
And here's the UK Labour minister.
We know the government is looking at digital
ID cards at the moment.
How would that help prevent the situation that
we're in now?
Well, Keir Starmer, our prime minister, has said,
we are looking at what other countries have
done to bring in a sort of digital
accreditation.
I think there's real actually benefits right across
here from obviously dealing with illegal working, but
also actually imagine if your viewers imagined that
they had one credential that would allow them
to access all the different government services and
our public services do.
I'm sure many of your viewers often tear
their hair out with all the different numbers
and passwords.
Oh, no, different numbers and passwords.
I'm tearing my hair out.
Please, please, please.
The different bits of government that they have
to deal with.
I do think there could be a real
benefit here for people who are here and
working legally and accessing our public services if
there was one route in, as well as
the benefits it could have with illegal migration.
We're looking at that.
I think it is an interesting idea that
other countries have taken forward and we want
to learn from what they've done.
You see, this is the difference.
This is why we fought the British and
kicked them out.
They want digital ID.
We give you the Trump platinum card.
I mean, it's a much better card.
You want digital ID.
You want the Trump platinum, the Trump gold
card.
This is the difference right here.
Although they're going to push for it real
hard right after we go to the moon.
No, they're going to push for it real
hard, period.
Moon notwithstanding.
A little bit of EU news.
Well, actually, I've been taking my time to
watch some more of President Trump's presser with
Keir Starmer.
And I don't remember any clips of this
out there.
This is about him being disappointed in President
Putin, but also telling us when and how
the war will end.
Mr. President, you say that President Putin has
let you down.
Have negotiations run out of road?
And what are your next steps to compel
an end to this war?
He has let me down.
I mean, he's killing many people, and he's
losing more people than he's killing.
Very simply, if the price of oil comes
down, Putin's going to drop out.
He's going to have no choice.
He's going to drop out of that war.
And when I found out that the European
nations were buying oil from Russia, and as
you know, I'm very close to India.
I'm very close to the Prime Minister of
India.
I spoke to him the other day, wished
him a happy birthday.
We have a very good relationship.
He put out a beautiful statement, too.
We have- Hey, Modi.
But I said, you know, I sanctioned them.
China is paying a very large tariff right
now to the United States.
But I'm willing to do other things, but
not when the people that I'm fighting for
are buying oil from Russia.
If the oil price comes down, very simply,
Russia will settle.
And the oil price is way down.
You know, we got it way down.
We're drilling and we produce more oil than
anybody else in the world.
We're doing a lot.
But I was disappointed to see that.
And the Prime Minister was disappointed to see
that.
So if the price of oil comes down,
then Putin's out.
How does that work, though?
Because of course, we know it's a troll.
The European Union is not going to stop
buying oil.
But if they stop buying Russian oil, wouldn't
the price go up?
Wouldn't there be less available and therefore the
prices would go up?
That's too logical.
The idea is that Russia would be selling
less oil because the Europeans stopped buying it.
And it wouldn't really change the price of
anything, but it would change the income flow.
In other words, they would just get less
money.
And running out of money is not a
good thing for it because it's a main
part of their economy is the revenues from
oil.
Well, funder lion Queen Ursula is clapping back
and she has a plan, a plan.
Now, it's not about oil, but did you
know that they were taking Russian LNG?
Oh, doesn't surprise.
Well, then not anymore.
They got a lot of gas, too.
We're stopping that.
Russia's war economy is sustained by the revenues
from fossil fuels.
We want to cut these revenues.
So we are banning imports of Russian LNG
into European markets.
It is time to turn off the tap.
We are prepared for this.
We have been saving energy.
We have been diversifying supplies.
We've been investing in low carbon sources of
energy like never before.
And today these efforts pay off.
We've been saving energy.
Look, I have it here in my little
purse.
Yeah, you got a bunch of it right
here in a box.
And we have low carbon alternatives.
Yeah, oh yeah, they're going to die.
Once they killed their nuke plants, this was
the problem.
I don't know how they got suckered into
any of this.
Well, they want to kill people.
Isn't it just universally true throughout history that
the cheaper and more abundant actual energy is
that the more prosperous people become?
Yes, because what it is, it is energy.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it makes things move.
Yes.
Poor Europeans.
I do love our European brothers and sisters,
but you're letting these people kill you.
They're squashing you like bugs.
Yeah, and you can't say anything about her.
You get thrown in the slammer.
Yeah, you get arrested like Katie Hopkins.
Man, you should- She's joking about it,
but she's in for a surprise.
You should hear her story.
That whole podcast with Lara is good.
Because at a certain point, she became the
most hated person in the UK.
I don't remember what happened or what she
did.
She was on LBC for a while, as
I recall.
Yes, and she was on LBC.
She loves America because she would do a
regular spot on Tucker.
And because of that, she was able to
have, it was the Republican Women's Conference.
And she spoke at some gathering because of
Tucker got her in there.
And then she was on the speaking circuit
all of a sudden.
She was going around every state, speaking at
every Republican Women's Conference.
And that's, in essence, how she survived.
But it got so bad, as she was
saying, that her husband had to take their
children, move to a different town, take on
different names.
And they did not have contact for five
years because of the abuse the children were
taking.
Really?
Yes.
I was blown away.
Well, I remember that we used to follow
her when she was on LBC.
Raj was too.
Yeah.
And she was, you know, she was funny.
She was very biting in terms of her
critique.
And I just don't, I mean that, I
just don't see how that would create that
much hate.
No, I think it was something.
Well, this time I will ask the robot.
What was it that happened that made Katie
Hopkins the most hated person in the UK?
Well, Katie Hopkins earned that most hated label
from a string of explosive, often offensive comments
that lit up the UK media.
She kicked off big in 2015 with a
Sun column comparing migrants crossing the Mediterranean to
cockroaches, sparking massive backlash for racism, got her
investigated by police, though charges dropped.
Then there was her digs at fatties, calling
them lazy, slagging off Scottish accents as scummy,
and telling folks with depression to snap out
of it, which hit parents of kids with
autism hard too.
Oh, and that time she joked about euthanizing
dementia patients to free up NHS beds?
Pure firestorm.
Shows like Celebrity Big Brother amplified it all,
turning her into a tabloid villain.
But hey, she turned the hate into cash,
didn't she?
Not really.
Not really.
Hey, you biased robot.
Error.
Okay, well.
That's kind of funny though.
Snap out of it.
Snap out of it.
Snap out of it!
What's your problem?
Well, her style of pointed critique was very
American.
She definitely wasn't beyond what a Louis C
.K. would have done or almost any decent
comic.
Yeah.
Well, what she did for the public masturbation.
I was going to say, she did masturbate
in front of other comics in the hotel
room, as far as I know.
As far as you know.
As far as I know, yes.
So.
Yeah, poor, poor Katie.
Anyway, she seems to be doing okay.
And she had a, she had a, she
almost died.
Well, it started with, I think it just
started with the cockroach thing and that brought
down the ire of the globalists who were
moving to move everybody they could from the
Northern Africa into the Europe.
Yeah.
Since it's on right now, and I gotta
tell you, I'm looking at this, this is
amazing, the people who are at this memorial.
The entire cabinet has spoken already.
All of the top podcasters, ourselves excluded.
Of course we are.
We're never, we're excluded from everything.
Yes, we were deplatformed when we started.
This is good.
That's really good.
I was bringing that up because I called
it.
I
think
she's really gonna make something out of this.
Yeah, I'm in total disagreement.
Okay.
I think she has no karma whatsoever and
it's gonna go just nowhere.
But if there's people behind her that are
doing the job, it might not make a
difference.
This is where you say, Marco Rubio, he's
the guy.
Marco Rubio could do it.
So I have a question for you.
I got an air traffic controller clip.
So this is a kind of, it's edited
a bit, but not by me.
And this is the air traffic controller scolding
a Spirit airline flight for getting too close
to Air Force One.
Okay.
When he took the trip to England.
And is this kind of insults?
Do air traffic controllers normally insult the pilots
of these planes?
Is that a common thing?
Let's have a listen.
Okay.
So these conversations, this is a little more
than usual.
This is the exact reason when I fly
up to Dallas and if I'm flying myself,
because I only fly once every six weeks,
once every two months, maybe.
And we go in a Cirrus, which is
a fast, but it's a four seater.
It's a small aircraft, but it's not, you
know, it's fast for a small four seater.
So it takes me an hour and five
minutes to get up to Dallas versus five
minutes, five and a half hours in the
car.
Beautiful.
I love it.
And I always take along one of the
instructors from the flight school.
I rent the plane from the flight school
because they're on the radio all day.
Cause here's, this is my experience and air
traffic controllers are there for a reason.
We have a lot of them listening to
us.
I love them all.
I've never had a spat with them, but
this is what happens.
It's very busy airspace.
There's five airports up there.
You got Dallas, Fort Worth, you got Love,
you got Addison.
And if you are flying into that airspace
and they're going to vector you and tell
you what to do.
And if you so much as go, uh,
on the radio, they'll go, okay, why don't
you fly 30 minutes that way?
And we'll talk to you in a half
hour.
And we'll let you back in and make
your approach because they're busy.
They're trying to keep, you know, separation, all
kinds of bad things from happening.
So if you're not responsive on the radio,
which sounds like there's a couple of different
clips of this floating out there.
Like he had to ask two or three
times to turn 20 degrees right.
If you don't say, you know, you're called
Spirit Airlines, 20 degrees right.
If you don't say that right away, then
you're not paying attention.
And that's, that's frightening for an air traffic
controller because you need to respond.
I need you to do this.
If you're not turning right and you're not
responding, I can run into trouble.
I'm thinking five steps ahead.
So yeah, call them a douche, get off
the iPad, stop, uh, stop horsing around.
This is a busy airspace and we got
the Air Force One.
So yes, and it was meant as an
insult and I think it was correct.
Now, I thought it was kind of funny.
Oftentimes you'll have a different dispute where the
air traffic controller is going to tell you
how to fly, you know, or, or, I
mean, I'm trying to think of a good
example.
But ultimately the pilot in command is in
command of that aircraft.
So they'll tell you to do certain things
like, no, I don't want to do that.
I want to do it this way.
Then if it's not within their, if it's
not within their aerodrome space, you know, you're
like, hey, I don't want to fly that
way because I might run into rainstorms.
I want to go that way.
You know, they will have to concede to
you because you do have the authority over
the aircraft and you're up there and they're
not.
But when it comes to this, absolutely.
The guy, Spirit, he was a douche.
20 degrees to the right, just confirm and
go.
Not paying attention.
Yeah, they were talking to each other in
the cockpit, you know, talking about the flight
attendants.
You see that hottie?
Yeah, that dude's real hot.
It's Spirit, Spirit Airways.
I'm just saying.
Yeah.
All right.
I only got one.
I've got a couple more, but I'm like,
I'm going to say super cut.
Oh, you have a super cut?
You're going to save a super cut?
It was about the free speech thing.
I think it'd be better bummed because we'd
be talking about freedom of speech.
You know, I actually tried to, I actually
tried to make that one sound better.
This one?
Does it have music on it?
I don't remember.
There's about 10 of them out there.
This is the one.
This is a retrospective.
Yeah, I tried to take the music out
of this.
Why bother?
You can't do it.
I don't think there's music on this one.
Well, it did.
I told you, you need to try the
11 labs thing.
11 labs really works incredibly well.
It takes music out?
Yeah.
Oh, it takes music.
I told you, it's the only thing that
makes RFK Jr. sound legible.
Okay, I'll play with it next time.
Well, let me just see because I think
I have the, I threw it out.
Maybe I still have it.
Yeah, I still have it.
Yeah, you'll laugh.
Okay, let me see if this is the
same one.
You shouldn't be banned from one platform and
not.
Twitter, ban the president.
No, I have a different one.
You shouldn't be banned from one platform and
not others if you are for providing misinformation
out there.
There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation
or hate speech and especially around our democracy.
There are Americans who are engaged in this
kind of propaganda.
And whether they should be civilly or even
in some cases, criminally charged is something that
would be a better deterrent.
If people go to only one source and
the source they go to is sick and
has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation,
our first amendment stands as a major block.
It's really hard to govern today.
This is a matter of corporate responsibility.
Twitter should be held accountable and shut down
that site.
It is a matter of safety and corporate
accountability.
The first amendment is not absolute.
It does not protect any single thing anyone
says.
And there are limits and that's important.
And what this committee has been trying to
do for the last year and a half
is to chill the federal government from monitoring
what is going on on social media.
When you look at what Tucker Carlson and
some of these other folks on Fox do,
it is very, very clearly incitement of violence.
Very clearly incitement of violence.
I believe that when it comes to broadcast
television like Fox News, these are subject to
federal law, federal regulation in terms of what's
allowed on air and what isn't.
That's a good piece.
First of all, she calls it broadcast television.
It's not.
And they're not.
This is a U.S. representative that was
AOC.
This is an actor.
It's not a representative.
Very clearly incitement of violence.
I believe that when it comes to broadcast
television like Fox News, these are subject to
federal law, federal regulation in terms of what's
allowed on air and what isn't.
My biggest concern is that your view has
the first amendment hamstringing the government in significant
ways.
We should have played that earlier.
Although it's nice to kind of wrap up
with it.
So as a rare exception, I will play
for you until you realize why I threw
it out.
The supercut that I got.
Now, this had a typical.
Yeah, I don't get those too many of
those.
I don't like them.
Well, so that's why you use 11 Labs,
their voice isolator.
And it worked extremely well until it got
to someone speaking in an audience with a
lot of applause.
And you'll hear why I threw this out.
Twitter banned the president permanently.
Oh, damn.
They took away his precious.
Well, Facebook upheld their ban of Donald Trump
today for at least another six months.
It is so funny to watch the Trump
supporters and the Republicans meltdown over Tucker Carlson
getting fired from Fox News.
Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News.
Couldn't have happened to a better guy.
Fox News media and Tucker Carlson have agreed
to part ways.
So that's wow.
That's actually the view.
If you remember when who's the little Latino
woman?
Yeah.
Anna Navarro.
Yeah.
So she starts singing.
I wouldn't call her a little.
She starts singing.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Hey, say goodbye.
And it turned her.
This is actually a very interesting filter because
it removed the music from everything, but it
brought the actual devil that is inside of
that woman out.
Listen again, listen again.
It's the 11 Labs devil revealing software.
That's exactly what it is.
Agreed to part ways.
Foxy, I'm telling you, this is my demon
revealer.
I'm going to have to use that more
often.
It's a reverse demon filter.
Yeah, it brings the demon out.
Well, our supporters are no demons.
They are, in fact, angels.
They support us with value for value, and
we appreciate everything you support us with.
No agenda donations.
Dot com is where you can do that.
And we have several more people to thank
who supported us with $50 or above.
John C.
DeVore, I go.
Adrian Christensen starts us off.
He's in Marmore, Queensland, Australia to 12640, which

executive producership.
I will mark it as such.
Nathan Cochran in Franklin, Tennessee, 12345.

And the title change for today's show goes
to Sir Greg Hudson, the monarch knight of
the inner banks.
He becomes a baronet thanks to his exceedingly
generous donations.
Another $1,000 in the pot.
And we appreciate that.

tell us where we can send it to.
All hail to the Secretary Generals, cause they
are the ones who need hailing.
All hail to the Secretary Generals, on the
No Agenda show.
So I guess Sir Greg actually, he kept
his own accounting.
Turns out not only does he get an
upgrade, we should have knighted him first and
then given him the upgrade because he has
reached baronet.
But I think we should definitely make him
an official knight of the No Agenda round
table.
If you don't mind, you can bring out
a sword for me.
Here you go.
Thank you.
A sword with a xylophone.
He said, I'm Sir Greg Hudson, the Mammoth
Knight of the Inner Banks.
I've been donating since 6-17-22 and
he's now supported us with another 1,000.
So he is a baronet.
But first, I'd like to welcome him to
the round table and I pronounce him as
Sir Greg Hudson.
For you, sir, we have the requisite hookers
and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, cookies and
vodka, warm beer and cold women.
We have harlots and haldol, beards and blunts,
cowgirls and coffee barns, rubinettes, women in rosé,
dates and sake, vodka and vanilla, bong hits
and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts.
Of course, we've got some breast milk and
paddlemen as always here at the round table
for our knights and dames, the mutton and
the mead.
You also go to noagendarings.com and let
us know exactly where you want us to
send your knight ring.
With that, we'll give you, give us the
size.
There's a ring sizing guide on that website.
We'll also send some sealing wax with you
to seal your important correspondence and a certificate

As always, welcome to the round table.

It's easy and always.
Guaranteed a party.
Yeah, baby, like a party.
John's tip of the day is on the
way.
And of course, we have our end of
show AI mix.
You'll want to stick around for two toe
tappers for sure.
But first, as part of our this is
how the sausage is made.
We are going to determine what we will
play as our end of show ISO.
Once again, I have two.
John has one.
I'm sure it's an AI version.
I, of course, just have regular people.
And here we go.
This is outrageous.
Okay.
And the gift that keeps on giving from
Austin, Texas.
Those are my entrance for today.
I mean, I like Alex Jones, whatever he
does, but I don't know if that's very
good for the end of the show anyway.
So I got it.
You're right.
This is a creation.
And here he goes.
Tell us proof.
It is the best podcast in the universe.
How can we?
How can we not do that?
I mean, if you're just going to shill
it in with best podcast universe, we're the
best.
We're the awesomest.
Donate.
Of course, we're going to.
Oh, what was that?
It should do.
I hurt myself.
I didn't mean that.
I did something really bad.
What I meant to do was hit this
one and say it is time for John's
tip of the day.
All right.
I'm going to go to a generalized tip.
And this is a wine tip for everybody
out there, especially the ladies.
Hello, ladies.
And this is triggered by the exploding bottles
at Costco.
Oh, so there's a recall of some of
this wine that Costco has.
And Costco has a pretty good one, but
they're all good.
And the wine that everyone should check out,
it's and this is called Moscato Dosti.
That's M-O-S-C-A-T-O
-D apostrophe A-S-T-I.
It's a sweet, bubbly wine.
It's not like a champagne bubbly.
It's a light sparkling wine.
It's sweet.
The alcohol is low.
It's like 7% on a lot of
these.
Sometimes it gets to 10.
And it's every one I've ever had in
my life.
I've had a lot of them.
They seem to be all be good at
whatever price.
They run around 12 to 15 to 16
bucks, maybe.
I think Costco has one for under 10
that explodes in some states.
I don't know what the deal is there.
It was, I listened to it.
It was every single state except for Texas
for some reason.
No, no, they didn't have any exploding bottles
in California either.
There was only about 20 states where they
were blowing up.
And you didn't even have to take it
back.
You could just show them a receipt and
you get your money back.
So you get free bottles of this stuff.
I would just recommend if you have a
bottle, they said don't open it because it
might blow.
I would say just put on some goggles,
wear some gloves and open it.
And if it doesn't blow up, you're in
good shape.
You have a nice bottle of free Moscato
Dosti.
Now, do you have a tip on how
to approach this exactly?
It's a sweet wine for it's chilled.
It's a summer sipper.
It's good for the upcoming Indian summer.
It's a summer sipper.
And the problem with it is Mimi has
this issue and most people will, you can't
not drink the whole bottle.
Yeah, is that only Mimi, really?
Well, I think a lot of people will
run into it.
If you've ever had Moscato Dosti, you will
find it's hard to resist just drinking it
down.
It is a superior product.
It's a great, it's an afternoon thing.
It's supposed to be a dessert wine, but
I wouldn't have it for dessert.
It's not really sweet enough.
It's kind of awkward for dessert.
It's really just a casual drinker.
There you go.
There it is, everybody.
John's tip of the day.
Get the non-exploding kind.
It drinks better.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with JC Dean.
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Brunetti.
Ah, well, there we go.
Created by Dana Brunetti.
Okay, let me see.
I think we have Mutton Meat and Music
coming up next.
Oh, Sir Bemrose will turn 48 on Tuesday.
I'm sorry, Bemrose.
I didn't realize that.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Has a special mention for you.
There you go.
And end of show mixes, we have Jeffrey
Corker.
Repeat.
It was so good.
I have to play it again.
And Kevin Trotman with a nice ditty about
the No Agenda Nights and dames.
And we will return on Thursday.
I'm sure there will be something to deconstruct
if it's not free speech or something of
the like or some pod that someone said
something dumb on will be here for you
to help you through it all, make you
sound smart at the water cooler.
And I am coming to you as we
do twice a week from the heart of
the Texas Hill Country.
I live in Fredericksburg, and I love my

Everybody, I'm Adam Curry from Northern Silicon Valley
where I remain.
