Well, you know, this is the new me. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thank you.
This is no agenda.
He's fixing it.
from Refinery Row where we do not
This is Weather Modification. I'm John C. Dvorak.
- Buzzkill!
What now about weather modification?
apparently going on in Iran.
Oh, well, of course. The weather machine. Yes, of course.
It's great. What kind of weather do they have? Well, they're trying to give them to make the drought worse. But then I guess they found some of these microwave fields. And so the Iranians blew them up. Now it's raining.
So we were doing that all along, huh? Hmm.
Well, this is this is some podcaster. Oh, OK. You know, I mean, maybe we were. It was possible. Was it a podcaster just asking questions? No, no. They were. They had some guy on there that knew all about it. Well, the weather modification is real. We know that's real. It's real.
But I prefer the earthquake machine a little better myself. I think that's more fun. Yeah, maybe they can't. There may be nothing there to earthquake.
Oh yeah, and of course there's something to earthquake there. There's plenty, plenty left to do.
Yeah, the problem is there's so many faults in the Middle East that they blow up their own.
Thank you.
There is a lot going on in the world.
And may I remind everybody, you are listening to the No Agenda Show. It is the best podcast in the universe. And we are value for value. You will not hear advertisements during this program. So sit back, enjoy the value that comes to you. And later on in the show, if you think.
That was valuable.
We'll give you an opportunity to help us by sending some value back in the form of time, talent, or treasure.
I think you start with something screwy. Did you notice that Kara Swisher has a special on Kara Swisher, I Want to Live Forever? Yes. Have you seen this? I've seen a little bit. First of all, she has an eternal scowl on her face. Yes, I know. You know, the funny thing is, when she smiles.
She looks good.
Yes, but her – She's got a nice smile. But it's eternally in a frown. Like if you drew a frowny face, a line, because she has no lips.
That's Kara Swisher's mouth.
It's and we must just stop for a moment.
Remind everybody that her on-camera media career is all thanks to you. You gave her her first. I gave her her first.
Her first break. I believe her first dunk. Her big break. Yeah. Was it Silicon Spin or Cranky Geeks or both? Silicon Spin. Silicon Spin. An old school. I mean, you kids listening to the TBM podcast. Stop it. Go ahead. Stop it. Go ahead. No, it's more like, yeah, I'm going to interrupt you, but go ahead.
I want to talk about myself, but go ahead. But go ahead. I'm going to say the real truth here, the facts, but go ahead. So anyway, they started this thing, and I said, well, it just came out, so I click on it initially. So what is this? And they won't – no, you got to subscribe to CNN. Oh, no. Some bullcrap. No, no, no. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. I saw it on CNN. I saw a bit of it. Yes, because they pulled the plug on the subscribe thing and put it on the regular feed. Because no one was subscribing to it. No one was. I wasn't doing much of a job. So I watched part of the first one. Extremely overproduced. They put money into this thing. Now, wait a minute.
The premise of the show, as I understood it from watching it on the quad screen, flipping over to the top right corner and briefly turning on the volume. It seems like this is a show about products or health or people who want to live forever. Mainly. Yes. Silicon Valley. OK. Yeah. All right. All right.
Kind of a mockery of them. Yes. So I recorded this 14-second clip, which I think summarizes her attitude, the show, and everything in between. And it also, if you hear this little 14-second clip, you probably won't want to watch the show.
But let's play this. It's under Karis Swisher. The more you think about.
the happier you are as a person.
I'm going to be cremated for sure. I'm going to be thrown in the face of people I don't like.
Yeah, that sums it up. We should do this.
for all kinds of shows.
What not to watch and why in 14 seconds or less. So we're thinking of death makes you happy and I want to have my ashes thrown at everyone who doesn't like me. His face. What? What? This is her general attitude. That's her attitude.
That's her attitude.
That's fine. You know, you watch things that surprise me. You keep sending me the redacted nut jobs like.
The only time I watched is when you send me a link. I'm like, why am I watching this?
literally showing things that we laugh at.
three days before.
Well, you know, the White House, she was at the White House and she and she called in and she said, well, you know, the Karen Levitt's husband leaned over to me and he said, you know, you got to be careful. And then the phone call was.
Come on, man. Come on. Good stuff. Come on. You want me to.
Stop sending you this material. No, but it ruins my morning. Watch in the afternoon. Let me get us started here because we had a...
Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla will be in New York City today. It's the second leg of their historic U.S. visit. On Tuesday, the king spoke to Congress, met with the president.
He was a guest of honor at a state dinner last night. CBS News royal contributor Roya Nick is here. I'm wondering what you make of the king's speeches in both places because people said that he's right. This reporter of royalty, her name is Roya. Can you believe it? Roya Nicka. Roya Nicka. Roya Nicka. That needle very carefully. Did anything he say surprise you?
Sir, it surprised me. I thought both speeches were quite punchy. Punchy? No, it wasn't. In a very soft power, diplomatic, needling kind of way. I thought some of the comments in the Congress speech, the reference to NATO, the importance of NATO, Charles talking about his service in our armed forces.
forces. We know that Donald Trump has not been so kind about our armed forces recently. But that focus on repairing and renewing the special relationship so much around this trip has been about how damaged the special relationship is because of our respective governments. And I thought the way that Charles delivered some quite punchy points to Donald Trump, but under the guise of, you know, you're my friend, Donald. And we know how...
keen Donald Trump is on our whole family. I thought he pulled it off very well. I know you have a couple of clips about this. Just want to get these two out of the way. So just to review, this is how the British felt that the speech was going to go. I asked if there was any reservations on the part of the king, and I was told not reservation, but apprehension, that he's going to try very hard.
to get the tone right in his speech to Congress. Not worried about the visit, not worried about the Trump stuff, because he's done that before and he knows Trump. But his questions really were about how you get the bit to Congress right. And I was told, and this was a sort of unforgettable quote.
So forgive me. The speech is full of lines that will go over the president's head, but will go down beautifully at home. And I said, what on earth do you mean by that? Oh, because our president is stupid, you see. So it will go over the president's head.
So I only have one clip from the King, where were the no Kings protests, from the King's speech to the joint houses of Congress.
And this is the one that just that the Democrats love this one. This was perfect.
fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause. They carried with them and carried forward the great inheritance of the British Enlightenment.
ideals which had an even deeper history in English common law and Magna Carta. We didn't run away from them at all. This is now we carried with them the deep.
buy deals do you mean the european enlightenment yeah yeah okay okay all right sure oh yeah
These roots run deep and they are still vital.
Thank you.
Our Declaration of Rights of 1689.
was not only the foundation of our constitutional monarchy.
but also provided the source of so many of the principles reiterated, often verbatim.
in the American Bill of Rights of 1791.
Those roots go even further back in history.
the US Supreme Court Historical Society.
has calculated that
Carter is cited in at least
160 Supreme Court cases since 1789.
not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power...
You're subject to checks and balances. Oh, check!
are cheering on the king.
because he said,
Oh, my Lord.
That was, that was, uh, ffff.
No kings. I like that Trump, I think, reposted one of the photos with the caption, two kings. Well, I don't know what clips you have, but I have a 30-second kind of funny bit from the dinner. I'll just play that real quick. Go ahead, play it. Yeah. And I also want to, before we really begin, I want to congratulate Charles on having...
made a fantastic speech today at Congress. He got the Democrats to say, and I've never been able to do that.
I haven't liked any Republican or Democrat, actually. So I just want to thank you and congratulations. It's not an easy thing to do. That's a tough place.
*Groans*
Lordy. Do you have anything from the speech or the dinner? It's kind of not any specific clip. I thought the speech was dull. Yeah, the speech was very dull. The dinner was better.
There were some good things. PBS has a rundown. I thought it was pretty good. This is a King's Visit. King, where is it? King's Visit, here we go. The King and Queen of England were received with high diplomatic fanfare this morning at the White House, day two of the royal visit. This afternoon, King Charles became just the second monarch to address Congress.
In this, the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence.
from the king's five times great-grandfather. It's King George III. Why the laugh in there? What is the laugh about the five times great-grandfather? I just don't understand it.
Did you hear that? That's an excellent spot. Congress. I have no idea. Interesting. To address Congress in this, the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence from the king's five times great grandfather, King George III.
What's so funny about that? I mean, I think it's funny that he's here while we're celebrating that.

you
Today at a rainy White House, there was pomp.
ImagineTru.com.
And a crappy high school band. It's crazy.
And after this military ceremony, the U.S.'s highest diplomatic honor, President Trump did what Brits do when things might.
get a little bit awkward.
Talk about the weather. What a beautiful British day this is.
President Trump is the son of a Scot, and today recalled his mother's fondness for everything royal, especially a man Trump today called a blessing. I also remember saying very clearly.
Charles, look, young Charles, he's so cute.
mother
My mother had a crush.
on Charles. Can you believe it?
Amazing how, I wonder what she's thinking right now.
And President Trump celebrated what he called the free world forged together 80 years ago by President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. That understanding of our nation's unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship. And we hope it will always remain that way.
Yeah, special relationship. No one ever talks about what that is exactly, other than our CIA and MI6 are in bed together. Yeah, the five eyes. That's very special. Yeah, that's all it is.
sharing information. According to Kiriakou, they actually don't keep anything from each other. Oh, I have some Kiriakou for later.
Oh, that guy is all over the place. And he's got an agent now, you know. Of course he does. The agent has an agent. Got to have an agent if you're an agent.
Yeah, there you go. Okay, part two of this. America's words carry weight.
and meaning, as they have since independence.
The actions of this great nation matter even more. And so this afternoon, for only the second time in almost exactly 250 years of separated history, a British monarch addressed a joint meeting of Congress with an appeal to unity. Whatever our differences.
whatever disagreements we may have, we stand united.
In our commitment to uphold democracy. Democracy. To protect all our people from.
and to salute the courage of those who daily risk their lives in the service of our countries. That line, an echo of the first and before today only British monarch to address a joint session of Congress, Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, 35 years ago. The best progress is made when Europeans and Americans act in concert.
It is an era that is in many ways more volatile and more dangerous.
the world to which my late mother spoke. But even if in a soothing baritone, King Charles did not avoid trying British distinction in his baritone. He's not a baritone.
Do you find him a baritone? Yeah, I find him a baritone. I find him a baritone. British way.
With the Trump administration. Not a tenner. We must also reflect on our shared responsibility to safeguard nature. That same unyielding resolve.
is needed for the defense of Ukraine.
And her most courageous people. We answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulder to shoulder. But today, that implicit criticism did not dampen the president's riding royal coattails. The White House posting this photo with the caption, two kings.
So let's talk about the special relationship. And before you do, though, let's go back to Queen Elizabeth's comment that.
She didn't even mention the UK or the special relationship. She said the Europeans. Yes.
That's because that's when they were thinking they're part of Europe. Yeah.
So this is the special relationship was discussed at the dinner. I like the dinner a lot.
I thought the first lady looked fantastic. The whole thing was groovy. Speeches were interesting here as part of that special relationship. My mother's first prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill, understood this so well.
But then he himself was half American.
A tradition of shared transatlantic heritage, which I am pleased to say is alive and well in the White House today.
Indeed, such was the closeness
That's the Winston, while staying here in the White House, in those rooms you showed us upstairs, emerged naked from the bathtub.
discover the door opening as President Roosevelt came in for a chat.
With rapier, which the president cast aside in the embarrassment.
by declaring that the Prime Minister has nothing to conceal from the President of the United States.
Bye.
President Trump saw our special relationship in a different manner. And we're doing a little Middle East work right now, too, if you might know. And we're doing very well. We have militarily defeated that particular opponent.
And we're never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do.
We're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. They know that, and they've known it right now very well.
Okay, no nukes, but I'd say the joke of the evening went to King Charles. If I may say so, it is a particular pleasure to be back in this wonderful building, the heart of your democracy.
On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing, Mr President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year.
And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 18...
team.
Very.
That was funny. That was a good gag.
John, for those who do not know the history, explain what happened in 1814. Well, we had the War of 1812, essentially with Canada, but the Brits were behind the whole thing and they burnt down the White House.
I tell you.
Yes. So he basically admitted that they were behind it all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Confession. Yes, thank you very much.
In the meantime, the president went on 60 Minutes.
As we all know, you know, Barry Weiss running 60 Minutes, running CBS. So that would be a friendly interview.
And I think the president got exactly what he wanted. Did you see any of this? Oh, yeah. You can play the clip. It's great. Yeah, well, I have a couple of clips. This is and this was Nora. And the president was ready for her.
The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this, I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
What's your reaction? Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're you're you're horrible people. You're horrible. Right. That I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. Oh, you think he was referring to you? Excuse me. I love how she didn't.
You think it was referring to you? That was great.
This was just, it could have been anybody.
You think it wasn't about y'all?
Good try, Norbert.
I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.
Oh, you think he was referring to you? Excuse me.
I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick.
person
I got associated with...
or stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were... The other side of the plate? What does that mean?
Is he switching to baseball now? Yeah.
There was a couple of things off with the president in this interview. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably – I read the manifesto. You know, he's a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because –
I'm not any of those things. Mr. President, these are the gunman's words. Excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 Minutes. You're a disgrace. But go ahead. Let's go ahead. The other thing that he wrote. And then.
And then...
I mean, is he the only person in America who does not know the full name Southern Poverty Law Center?
Is he the only one who doesn't know that?
Because he was right about what he's saying, but oh, man. I mention that because, again, as his motive, you brought this up, he had social media accounts that had anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric. You should read, why don't you read all the anti-Trump? Why don't you read it? You just did, so why don't you read it?
Well, he had a lot of anti-Christian rhetoric. He was part of a group called the Wide Awakes. He had attended a No Kings protest in California. What did security tell you about...
The reason you have people like that is you have people doing no kings. I'm not a king. What I am, if I was a king, I wouldn't be dealing with you. No, I'm not a king. I don't laugh. I see these.
no kings, which are funded just like the Southern law was funded. You saw all that Southern laws financing the KKK and lots of other radical, terrible groups. And then they go out and they say, oh, we've got to stop the KKK. And yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. They were a total scam run by the Democrats.
It shows you that, like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern law. That was a Southern law deal, too. And it was done to make me look bad, and it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election.
And that's what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your 60-minute episodes, which really hasn't changed very much for the last few years, I'm surprised, but one of those episodes should be on Southern law and the fact that they spent millions and millions of dollars on absolute far right and just bad, bad groups.
And then they'd use those groups and they'd say, these are Republican groups and we're coming to your rescue. And they're the ones that have funded it and they're the ones that keep them going. Southern law, southern law, southern law. Mr. President, get it together.
southern law.
And and then the question that she even hesitated to ask because it's so far beneath anyone at 60 minutes. I hesitate to ask you about this, but as you know, these conspiracy theories out there on the left and the right that the event was staged or that it didn't happen. What? Last night, didn't that? Yeah, that it was because it was your first time there or that Butler didn't happen.
conspiracy theories that are gaining traction on the internet. October 7th didn't happen and World War II didn't happen and the Holocaust didn't happen and many things didn't happen. Yeah, no, I hear it. I don't know. I think they're more sick than they are con people, but there's a lot of con in it too.
I haven't heard that last night didn't happen. Usually it takes a little bit longer. It usually takes about four months for, you know, for our false flags to be recognized by the general public. Usually they wait about two or three months to start saying that. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think that, and forgive me, I'm not.
I don't peddle in that stuff or certainly look at it. What do you mean I don't peddle in that stuff? What is this peddling? You just did it. I don't peddle in that stuff or certainly look at it because I was there.
But the idea, I'm wondering where this is coming from. That would be a tough one, I think. That would be a tough sell. Yeah. Oh, where's this coming from, she says. Where's this coming from? Oh, you're back. Did you drop off? Oh, okay. Anyway.
So that was, did you hear that? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
What do you got on the shooting, John? I'm sure you got some clips on this shooting, on this White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting. Well, you know, there was a lot of...
of yakety yak about, oh, you know, it's not.
our fault and all the rest. And so I put together a...
a few short
12 and 13 second clips and a couple of super cuts that we should be reminded what caused the shooting. Oh, okay. And I want to play these. These are all on Trump. Is this a bit like the Trump cycle? What is that?
Yeah, well, you know, I lost the list. What was that? The Trump, what was that called? That's the problem. I forgot what it's called. Wait a minute. Somebody wanted to give me a copy of it. I said, yeah, I got it right here and I couldn't find it. It was the, goodness gracious, I can't remember what we called it. We called it the, was it the cycle?
The Trump derangement thing? No, no, no. I'm talking about the list of things he's been accused of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's play these on Trump clips. These are some of the things that triggered the event. Oh, wait. Trump rotation. The Trump rotation. Hold on a second.
Should we play that real quick? It's about 58 seconds, just to remind people. Yeah, sure. I have my list, and you might want to see if there's anything I left out. This is the Trump rotation. There's two categories. There's the regular and then the regular.
But here we go. Ready? Yep.
Unhinged. Illegitimate.
White supremacist, racist, bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties, insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis.
But a criminal, mean, racist, immature, thin-skinned, runs the mob, has no money, unstable, fatter than 200...
25th Amendment should be instituted. He hates women, misogynist.
Grudges.
placed golf a lot, obstruction of justice, money laundering, and...
No wonder we're making America white again.
And that's from eight years ago? Yeah, eight years ago. You're doing that. It's old, old, old. Okay, so you have some updates to that in a different format, but the idea is clear.
Well, here's the old supercut that was probably from the first, that was during the first Trump administration. This is on Trump, old supercut.
I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be. People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator. You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. Enemies of the state. Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
your dad's immigration.
We can.
Who resists the temptation to run up and wring her neck? The biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized up to the right. I thought he should have punched him in the face. Even if he lost.
insulted your wife when you came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murderers?
He said, well, what do you think I should have done? I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero.
I said, if we were in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of you.
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? You're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. That's a fact.

Thank you.
And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be, everyone should take note of that.

You ain't seen nothing yet.
Oh, I don't see anything inflammatory about that. What's the problem? No, it's nothing. It's just, you know, commentary. Hey, freedom of speech, baby. Free speech!
Here's a short on Trump newer supercut. Let me ask you tonight. Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes, I do.
This is what kicking the shit out of-
fascism looks like. Try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that's been unleashed against us. So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist.
Fascism, a huge component of fascism, is uniting racism, bigotry.
form of racist nationalism. This is, we are now living in a fascist dictatorship. We are worried about potential rise of fascism in this country. We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government. Not only to roll over to Donald Trump's will, but to roll over our democracy and allow him to take over.
this country as a fascist dictator. When fascism isn't just coming, it's already here. The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Millie said.
No one.
more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump.
He is a fascist to his core.
Again, I just don't see why people can get riled up over this. I mean, that sounds just like rhetoric. It's not it's nothing dangerous. And so we have, by the way, in that second.
clip there, there was Raskin talking. Raskin was there talking about fascism. Yeah. After the shooting, here's what Raskin said. This is on Trump Raskin. And you have, as many of your fellow Democrats, have used some heated rhetoric.
against the president.
And do you think twice about that when something like this happens? What rhetoric do you have in mind? Just talking about some of the fact that he is terrible for this country and so on and so forth. I understand that that's your democratic right. But overall, do you have a responsibility? I have no personal problem with Donald Trump at all.
I like how she says that's your democratic right. Constitutional right, maybe.
Democratic right. Is that Nicole Wallace? Moron.
That was Dana Bash. Oh, just as good.
Let's listen to, here's Mark. This is on Trump Ruffalo. The guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile.
He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble. I'll say I'm a little disappointed because if I'd known you were doing this, I could have gotten quite a few of voices on the right saying the same thing about Trump being a pedophile. It's not just the left that is saying that anymore.
Well, it's hard to top this one. Okay.
This is Ted Lieu. There's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children.
And this is in the Epstein files.
No, it's just something he made up. Okay.
And the last on this list is Kimmel.
First Lady Melania is here. Look at Melania. So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
disgusting deranged if you think it's funny you're disgusting and deranged
Yeah, and to be fair, that was taped before anything happened. Obviously. Yeah, and actually the whole bit he did about, you know, he did this whole bit about, well, there's no comedian that's going to be a mentalist. Okay. By the way, shouldn't the mentalists have told the president to go away quickly? Yeah, well. Wouldn't he have known?
Doesn't a mentalist know ahead of time what's going to happen?
No, that's not. Oh, that's a that's not a mentalist. Mentalist. No, his mentalist is bullcrap. But Kimmel had some funny bits in that he was he was doing a as if he were doing the White House Correspondents Dinner bit. It was all right. I mean, yeah, it's inappropriate in hindsight. ABC might have considered not airing that in hindsight.
But that's just dumb jokes. I'm not offended by any of it.
I do have a theory about this guy and how that ties into Comey. This guy being the shooter.
Let's just play a couple of clips. This is the update about 86-47.
James Comey indicted again by President Trump's Department of Justice, this time by a federal grand jury over a 2025 Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read 8647.
Prosecutors argue the numbers can be interpreted as code, with 86 sometimes used as slang for eliminate. 47 referring to President Donald Trump as the 47th president.
saying the image could be seen as a threat against the press.
Attorney General Todd Blanch announcing the charges during a news conference yesterday. Listen.
The first count is at honor about May 15th of last year. He knowingly and willfully making a threat to
Thank you.
of 10 years.
So I think it's fair to say that threatening the life of anybody is dangerous and potentially a crime.
Threatening the life of the President of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice. Well, this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant.
His alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate and regularly prosecute. I hate to do this, but I do have to play a funny little bit from the ladies. At the tone, a clip from The View will be played.
Shelter in place. Yesterday, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by the Justice Department.
for a social media message he posted and deleted last year.
It featured a photo of seashells that read 8647.
The DOJ claims it's a call for violence, but Comey denies the charges and is ready for his day in court.
I just want to be clear.
Are they interviewing the seashells themselves?
Or are they interviewing Sally who sells seashells?
is what
This is more distraction. So from now on, when we think that there's a, I'm going to start saying distraction alert. What? That's what this is. You can ring your bell.
WHAT?!
What? What?
Ladies do.
Are they trying to do no agenda stuff?
With a bell. Distraction of the week. Don't look over here. Nothing to see here. Look at that. Yeah, we have the distraction of the week as well. Ladies, easy does it. No, I think I know what's connecting this. And I was searching for quite a while. And, of course, this Cole Allen guy, his Instagram is gone.
His blue cry is gone, so we can't really verify anything. I was kind of looking to see if at any point maybe he had liked some of Comey's posts or had commented on them or following him. And I think there's some wording in his manifesto that is going to be the key.
issue here for the Department of Justice. CNN reports some of Allen's social media posts.
compared President Trump to Hitler, encouraged people to buy guns, and questioned whether the first assassination attempt against Trump
was staged. Investigators are looking into an account on Blue Sky, an alternative to acts frequented by progressives, appearing to belong to Allen. He apparently posted under the name Cold Force, the same name signed on his alleged manifesto. Archive posts show him reposting political content and criticism of President Trump and White House policies. He described Trump as a sociopathic mob boss.
mob boss in relation to the Epstein files. So why is mob boss so important? Well, let's ask the Don himself.
They know 86, you know, and 86 is a mob term for kill them.
You know, you ever see the movies? Eighty six. The mobster says to one of his wonderful associates, 86. That means kill him. It's I think of it as a mob term. People think of it as something having to do with this.
But the mob...
uses that term to say when they want to kill somebody, they say, "Eighty-six, the son of a gun." I'm trying to keep the language nice and clear. They don't use that term, "son of a gun." They use another term. But that's a mob term for kill. Yeah?
Probably. I don't know. You know, based on based on what I'm seeing out there. Yeah. The people like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think, for politicians and others. You know, Comey is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop. He cheated on the elections. He tried to help Hillary Clinton. As you know, he dismissed a lot of things that he should have.
proceeded with. I wasn't involved, but he should have proceeded with. No, he's a dirty cop. He's a crooked man. Yeah. So having this indictment come out with this mob boss, mob boss, mob talk, mob boss, that's where they're going to hang on him.
And if they have some other link, social media link between that and this guy, that's what they're going to do.
It's not. This isn't going to go anywhere. The whole thing is I don't think they're really serious about it. They just want to break him. Yeah. This is going to take the guy's money down to nothing.
Major Garrett had a question when Attorney General Todd Blanch was rolling out this 86-47, and I think it was a valid question. In 2022, someone well-known in right-wing circles, Jack Peskovic, posted on X, 86-46. He did not take it down.
He did not apologize. Mr. Comey has done both of those things. The Biden Justice Department never prosecuted him. By the standard of that grand jury.
Jack Posobiec should face charges as well. Will the Justice Department pursue that case? I agree.
Arrest that man. He was on with Bannon.
And he says he's he's he's lawyered up. He's expecting to be arrested. Yeah.
Excellent.
That's good. That's good.
Yeah, you shouldn't do that.
In general, a bad idea.
Yeah. Yeah. It's not a good idea. But there were more. Stay out of it. There were more indictments. Not all of them got as much play. Did you hear about the other indictment?
Well, the guy that worked for Fauci. Yeah, I got it. And that's that's leading to the thought that Fauci is going to be next. But they have, it seems, until May 11th. Yeah, because then everything goes into then it's statute of limitations for Fauci. Yeah. So here's a here's a clip about that.
Dr. Anthony Fauci's former senior advisor was federally indicted on charges of allegedly taking part in a conspiracy to evade federal records requests regarding government-funded COVID-19 research.
David Morrance is a former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases official who advised Fauci in the agency's office of the director from 2006 to 2022. He is facing charges of conspiracy against the United States, destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal or mutilation of records and aiding and abetting. According to the April 16th indictment recently made public.
Mourns and at least two co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records to suppress alternative theories about the origins of the coronavirus. The allegations stem from the suspension of a controversial government grant to Echo Health Alliance, a nonprofit U.S. resource organization suspected of contributing to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic through risky virus studies and its subsequent reinstatement. In 2020, the...
$600,000 grant was terminated based on suspicions that a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology caused the COVID-19 outbreak, but the grant was restored three years later.
Authorities allege that Morin's and other co-conspirators worked to help co-conspirator one, who is potentially Echo Health Alliance president Peter Daszak, reinstate the grant and counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab. In anticipation that the communications would be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests, they all allegedly agreed in writing to intentionally hide their collusion from public.
view by corresponding over Morin's personal Gmail rather than his NIH email account. The three allegedly exchanged a non-public NIH information records that should be stored on government systems to influence NIH to fund Echo Health Alliance. And although we've covered this.
Ad nauseum, the time that all this came out, just a short clip here to remind us of how brazen these people were about it. Morins, who served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 2006 to 2022, conducted official government business from a private email account and asked the National Institutes of Health's FOIA liaison for...
tips on how to evade records requests. In an email from February 2021, Morins wrote, I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA'd, but before the search...
He later went on to write that he, quote, deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to Gmail. Two months later, in April 2021, Morins also wrote, there is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail or hand it to him at work or at his house. What's that? Tony Fauci? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And he was just writing this. These guys are so dumb. These guys are dumb.
grant from the NIH to the Manhattan-based nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, beginning in 2014, that ended up funneling U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research. I think the idea here is to squeeze this guy, to squeal on Fauci.
I don't think they need to. I think Fauci's cooked. I mean, with all the lying he did in front of Rand Paul. I think they're just working on making sure that it's airtight. They're not fooling around like the Comey thing, which I don't think is airtight. I think they're going to.
go nowhere with it, but the Fauci thing, they're going to get him. I hope so. That guy was evil.
And they need to get Collins.
He's not he's not clean in this either.
Remember Collins? Yeah, good point. We're playing his guitar with his wife.
Yeah, that guy.
Do we still have that clip? He played Puff the Magic Dragon.
Do you remember that? Collins. Yeah, vaguely, yeah. Puff. No, it was Puff Coronavirus. I don't think I have it. Francis Collins. Let's see. Now, if you'll indulge me, because it's been kind of promoted as if it might be a grand finale of a musical sort.
I guess I'd like to play a song. This was the head, the head of all things sickness in America. With a little song. Yes. So if I might, I just need a microphone. Why, there's a guitar right here. How about that? It's like he's on a Muppet show. It's like he's Kermit.
Yeah, this is a song where the tune will be familiar to you. Here we go.
unless you came from another planet recently. But the words are going to be quite different.
Because this is really a song for you. Oh, come on. I'm trying to imagine. Come on. What will that be like? We're going to get there. And you're going to help us get there.
there
That's what this is.
Arrested.
For violation of music.
the pandemic when we're free oh it was good times on the show back then
Thank you.
He had Kennedy's job, essentially.
Yeah. And that's what he was doing.
Oh my goodness.
And then this is how it happened basically the same week, same day. Super agent J.D. Vance, the fraud czar going after everybody. Currently underway, federal agents seem leaving the Quality Learning Center. And Brooke Taylor has more on that and what they're looking for. Brooke, good morning.
Hi, Bill. Good morning. Yeah, we have had a photographer there at the daycare since this morning capturing video of those.
federal agents just going in and out of the building, collecting evidence as part of the DOJ's fraud investigation in Minnesota. Take a look at this video here. Sources tell Fox that federal agents are raiding about 22 businesses across Minneapolis this morning. And sources say many of
to Somali-owned operations. Now, the location that you're looking at right now, it's the Quality Learning Center. This is the day it went viral. It blew up on social media because of a sign outside with learning that was literally misspelled. And then shortly after,
After that, the Trump administration announced it was freezing child care funding to Minnesota and calling for a full audit of certain daycare centers. And just checking my emails now, it looks like we got a statement from DHS sharing, quote, Homeland Security investigations in cooperation with our law enforcement partners executed criminal search warrants in Minneapolis.
relating to the rampant fraud of U.S. taxpayers' dollars. And as you can see, there are federal agents still outside one of those daycare centers where they have been the last few hours. And all of this comes as Governor Tim Walz is expected to deliver his State of the State address tonight, and it obviously comes with a lot of questions over oversight.
Well, at least it looks like they're doing something. I think people want that. People want to see. I like the fact that Waltz has chimed in and taken credit for the whole thing.
You don't happen to have a clip of him saying that, do you? No, I don't. That's too bad. He's on top of it. Oh, yeah. I'm taking care of business here, people.
All right.
I have a kind of a side clip here since we're talking about disease.
Have you heard about this typhus in Los Angeles? You know...
Ever since your operation, you're really focusing in on death and disease on the show. I mean, I don't know if that's related. Yeah, well, you know, this is the new me. Well, it seems that in Los Angeles, we have all-time highs of flea-borne typhus.
It's a disease. It's a bacterial infection. It can be treated with antibiotics, but it's pretty serious. According to the L.A. County Department of Public Health, nine out of ten of the people who contract this have to be hospitalized. So this is not just a head cold. And this is carried by fleas on rats. Rats! And guess why we have the all-time high?
of flea-borne typhus in Los Angeles County. Immigrants. Because it's a combination of things. It's the fact that they won't enforce an anti-camping ordinance and stop people from living on the sidewalks. That's part of what's drawing rats. There also was a state ban on some of the poisons that people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion population. What?
factor also. Yeah, because the mountain lions in downtown LA. Hold on, hold on. So don't use rat poison because it's hurting the mountain lions that are roaming the streets of Los Angeles. Oh, yeah, the wolves. Oh, excellent. That people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion population. So that's a factor also.
Garbage. Garbage.
force the businesses to make do with smaller and smaller containers and fewer containers. And the result is illegal dumping. All of these things is just blithering, idiotic policy. And now we have medieval diseases sweeping through Los Angeles County. Yeah. Medieval disease. Have I told you about the term typhus in Dutch in the Netherlands? I have a feeling maybe I told this to someone recently.
To this day, you know, the Netherlands, Holland, very old, very old country.
Amsterdam itself is like 770 years old, I think. Just that city. To this day, people, if they're mad at you, like really mad, they'll say crap.
Or that can also just be if you stub your toe.
Thank you.
But as when it's said to someone else, it means get typhus.
Yeah.
The Dutch are so kind to each other.
In the Middle Ages, if you had a – Get typhus. Hey, you, get typhus. I guess that was a die, kind of like why don't you die type thing.
But we don't have to die from typhus anymore, do we? I don't. Well, it's not something you want to. You always get hospitalized.
It's not good, but at least we have mountain lions.
That's a good idea. So you say I'm focusing on Gloom and Doom. Is that because I played the Kara Swisher thing? Is that the reason?
No, on the last show you had – the last two shows has been here's a new flu. Here's a new disease. We're going to die from this. I think I may have another new flu. Yeah, see? I'm telling you. You just want death and destruction. This is what you're all about.
Okay. What is it? You got a new flu? New flu? I thought I had a new flu thing on this thing. No, the Karaswisha doesn't care. Oh, no, no, no new flu. This is worse. What do you got?
New bad opioid. Oh, have I heard it? I've tried it. A new danger on Bay Area streets tonight as health leaders discover the signs of a deadly new drug. San Francisco just had its first overdose death from a new kind of opioid.
And I'm Dan Ashley. Thanks for joining us. The drug is stronger than fentanyl, believe it or not, and just started to circulate in the United States. This one is especially alarming to experts because the tool we have to handle fentanyl do not work very well against it.
News reporter Tara Campbell has covered the fentanyl crisis for years, and she explains what makes this drug different. San Francisco public health officials are sounding the alarm on a new synthetic opioid. This is not fentanyl. We believe it is more potent than fentanyl. It was found, we believe, in someone using a counterfeit pill. It's called cyclorphine, and for the first time it shows.
up in San Francisco linked to an overdose death earlier this month. The first time DEA seen it was in 2024 at one of our labs down in
Florida. It says cyclophene could show up in just about any other drug. It can be mixed into a pill. It can be sold as a powder. It can be mixed in with cocaine. It can be sold as cocaine again. And making the drug most concerning is it's difficult to test if it's been put in other drugs. And importantly, it's not detected on the available fentanyl test strips that are out there. It's also
believed to be resistant to narcan also known as naloxone the nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose officials warning it could take multiple doses for it to kick in the public health department and the dea both reiterating the importance of staying away from counterfeit pills saying the drug supply is as unpredictable as ever
Tara Campbell, ABC7 Eyewitness News. Here's a thought, kids. Don't take any pills. How about that? I would think not. Don't take any pills. Any pills at all.
Those days are over. Well, from death and destruction. Very good.
I've got a couple of things about Iran as the war, which doesn't seem to be a fighting war at the moment, continues. We have posts and tweets and slashes on the X's and all kinds of stuff. And here's the latest. So President Trump issuing a new warning to Tehran overnight as he reportedly tells aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran.
Lucas Tomlinson is live in Dubai with the latest. Hey, Lucas.
Good morning, Brian. After the state dinner where President Trump honored King Charles and Rory McIlroy, the president taking a true social early this morning to send this warning to Iran about the war ending, saying, quote.
Iran can't get their act together. They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They better get smart soon. Perhaps a reference to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Now, the Wall Street Journal reporting Trump tells aides to prepare for extended blockade of Iran. Quote, he assessed that his other options, resume bombing or walk away from the conflict, carried more risk than maintaining the blockade, officials said. Now, that blockade, Brian, has been in effect.
over two weeks in an attempt to open the Strait of Hormuz, which remains effectively closed. While the blockade aims to shut down the oil trade in Iran, its effects are also being felt at home as the price of gasoline is now the highest since July 2022. Now, pain also being felt inside Iran as the Iranian rial has plummeted to a record low, trading at around 1.8.
Million reals to the dollar. You might need a wheelbarrow to go shopping.
Oh, that's not good. So, of course, I'm in constant contact with the oil baron about all of this. He is, after all, an oil baron and he follows everything and he understands this and he has a lot of knowledge. So I'm always trying to get information out of him. And he just went off yesterday like, I can't.
He's saying stupid things.
And this is what it was about. President Trump said on Sunday, well, the Iranians have only three days before their pipelines explode because they've had to shut down production and the pipelines are under so much pressure because they're still full of oil. That doesn't just sound like a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. It is literally a scene from a Tom Clancy novel.
Although a former U.S. intelligence officer told me it's silly. Of course, they know how to shut down production. They are not three days away from their pipelines exploding. Yes, I would say the oil baron agrees that the pipe.
The pipelines will not explode, but...
They will have to shut down production, and it does take a bit to restart it. But we know how to do that. Everyone knows how to do that. It happened during COVID. And they're offloading, you know, now they're the tanks. What happened during COVID? Well, there was less oil being used, so everyone slowed. Yeah, but they didn't shut down any refineries. No, no. This is just the wells. Not talk about the refineries, the wells. Oh, the wells
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but they're slowing it down. They're flaring all the time. But eventually, these rickety ships that they're loading the oil onto, they will reach a capacity, and they're just not selling. So that's why the Rial is in the tank.
And the results are predictable. Markets will be open today after an unsuccessful weekend for diplomacy in the Middle East. New uncertainties in the region weighing on the stock market and oil futures. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has sent global energy.
costs skyrocketing, as you just heard in Bradley Blackburn's report, the impact on gas prices, oil up roughly 40% since the conflict began. President Trump says the prices could remain high through November. A CBS News poll found most Americans think gas prices have been a financial hardship, as we also heard from that report from Bradley Blackburn. Democrats are blaming the administration.
Yes. And so this is this is the part that the oil baron and I are reaching consensus on when the president says through November. Well, what's in November? November, we know, are the midterms. So he's pegging that. And the belief is that he will delight and surprise everybody by drastically lowering gas prices before that and then being able to spike the ball.
just before the midterms. So it's not going to do that with the big government short. The Outlook report is based on a view that oil prices will fall. I mean, I suppose that links to what futures are.
suggesting as well and that's been much remarked upon that the
Is there too much optimism then baked into futures expectations around oil prices? Future expectations around oil prices, do you think, Peter? Because this is going to be...
something that lots of central banks pick up on. Rather than estimating oil prices themselves, they'll probably just go with the futures curve, won't they? That's what they all do when they make their inflation forecast. They base it off the futures curve, which is in backwardation. I think the issue really here is if we look at the oil futures curve, for example, December contracts.
Pre-war, there were levels of around $55 per barrel. At the moment, they're, what, $80, $85, right? So we are pricing it off a much, much higher inflationary base. That's pretty clear. Is it fair to call oil a bit lower? I would say probably yes, but we're going to have high oil prices probably for the next three to four months. According to the oil baron, this is his theory, and I'm all in on it.
He says we've never had this wide of a divergence between spot and future prices, which the term is backwardation.
And he believes that the government.
is going to short oil massively. And he's preparing for it with all kinds of hedges. And then we add this little ditty to the mix about the UAE. UAE will leave OPEC after six decades as it plans a strategic realignment in the wake of the war. Bloomberg oil reporter Alaric Nightingale joins us on this really huge news.
Alaric, and I wonder first what it says about the relationship between the GCC countries amidst this war and also, you know, what it means for production. Can the UAE put more oil?
on the market without the constraints of OPEC.
Well, in answer to the last question, that's really at the heart of the issue. The UAE has long kind of pressed to be able to produce more oil without any kind of constraints from OPEC or has been one of the countries that has.
been eager to add more barrels.
And by doing this, once the war is over, this gives it an opportunity to do so. In terms of the kind of unity of Gulf countries, I think that really, in a way, this is an opportunity for the UAE to do something.
when it's not going to cause a market stir. We know when the market kind of, or when the situation in the Middle East hopefully returns to normal, that the UAE is going, all of the countries are going to need to try and ramp up and get supply to the market. That's obvious. And right now they can't, there's a big shortfall that needs to be recovered. So they and others are going to be doing that.
in the early stages, you know, this gives them an opportunity to do that like everybody else.
You know, I've been watching UAE with the stable coin purchase from the Trump brothers with, you know, the Mohammed dude going, yeah, you know, we're doing different.
things and now they leave OPEC, which that'll blow up OPEC.
These guys, they can do 5 million barrels a day. They have a pipeline into the...
gulf of
Oman. Is it Oman? Off of Oman, I think.
Saudi Arabia has a pipeline over to the Red Sea. So everyone's going to, it's every man for himself. I think this, this is, this is the big news to me, this blowing up of OPEC.
And UAE was just the first one to go in bed with the presidents, with the president's sons at least.
So everyone will start pumping.
Well, they got to get the straits open first. You don't need the straits. They go outside the straits. They have the pipeline, which goes around the straits. Well, the Saudi pipeline can only account for like a third of their production.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
But remember, we've got Venezuelan oil, got American oil. I mean, it may not be as bad. I mean, why else is the market pricing this?
backwardation in at $55 in December.
to miss.
I'm thinking Cal, she bets.
Well, maybe. I mean, it's possible. Well, the oil baron thinks he says the government is going to short oil just before the mid.
So I'm going to take his word for it.
I think that's a pretty good bet.
I won't help the midterms at all.
you want
It takes like a month before the price is stabilized at the pump. So he'll do it in October.
November is optimistic here.
Who, the oil baron? Yeah. He's in the business. Well, he's not going to be a negative Nelly. He's in the business. He's got to make his predictions. He's a super negative Nelly. He's been negative this whole time about this. He's like, I hate the president.
Republican presidents are the worst for my business. This is no good. And then he's like, hold on a second now. And by the way, that's.
for him.
This is today is positive for him. He's like, yeah, it's good.
He doesn't want oil at 55. He's just calling it as he sees it.
How can that be positive for him?
I'm just saying. Okay.
Okay, let's see what else we got. He's a very successful guy.
Yeah, okay. Take your word for it.
No, take his word, not my word. Take his word for it.
I don't know the
You should meet the guy.
Okay, sure. He's a good guy.
Let's take a quick break and listen to Dummies.
on the whatever podcast.
Whatever pod, what is the whatever podcast?
Or the whatever podcast, you've seen it. It's the guy. I don't think so. He sits around with a bunch of.
With a bunch of OnlyFans girls and ask dumb questions. And they can't, they don't know anything. They're so stupid. They're all OnlyFans girls. Yeah, OnlyFans. What did I say? It doesn't matter, but this is not a podcast. This is a YouTube show.
It's a YouTube show. Okay.
And it goes on for decades. I mean, it's like every day. And it's not a three hour or four. It's five hours. It just goes on and on and on. And you love it. And you love it. And you're watching. No, I don't. I only watch the clips. I don't watch the whole thing. It's impossible. OK, but here's the but the clips are good.
Here's a classic, one of the classic girls on here, everybody's dream date. What is 34 plus 66? 34 plus 66? 99, 98. What year was the U.S. founded? I know the answer to that. Okay. 1982. The United States was founded in 1982.
did the U.S. gain its independence from?
We brought this up earlier. Like, we're really friends. You're all friends.
How many letters in the alphabet? 24. What language do people in Idaho speak? French.
You may find this funny. I find it deeply, deeply sad and disturbing.
Deeply, deeply sad and disturbing is what I find. Yeah, that's the difference between you and me. Yes. I find it hilarious. Yes. You like the bird talking, bird hands girls on TikTok. Where's Chanel Ryan? She needs to have you on again. What happened to that show?
What happened to her? Are you still on the show? No, she's back. She's back. She had a baby.
Oh, okay. She had a baby and you had a bypass. So it's – Yeah, when my bypass is fully healed, I'll go back and do her show maybe. It's baby and the bypass. It's like Sanford and Son. Now, that's a great YouTube show.
It would do better on YouTube. The clips are on YouTube.
Okay. By the way.
When the shooting took place at the meetup. At the meetup. At the Trump meetup, yes. Wolf Blitzer, I guess, was right there because he went to the bathroom or something. Oh, okay. Claims he was right next to the shooter. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. The shooter didn't even make it into the ballroom. No, but I guess the bathroom, he had to go outside the ballroom to get to the bathroom.
Oh, okay. All right. He had a crop or something. Who knows? But he has this story about it. And they play – he's on all these different shows talking about it because he's an eyewitness. But this is when they first caught him right afterwards when he's shaking like a leaf and talking about how scared he is and the whole thing. I thought this was –
probably one of the best...
Example of a journalist from CNN at work.
in the field shooting blitzer. I feel a fire.
scary.
It was scary. I was a few feet away from the gunman as he was firing. It was loud. It was scary.
How were you able to do live TV after all of that?
Live TV after all of that.
broadcast professional and I just did it. I told the truth. What I saw, that was that.
Okay. I have to give it to you. That was dynamite. Broadcast professional.
I was scared. Into a secure room. The men's room.
That was good. Oh, man. Poor Wolf.
I empathize with him because like us.
has to do that job.
Now, I'm sure he didn't save any money. You know, what kind of money did Wolf Blitzer save from his CNN paycheck?
You know, so it's like us. We're stuck here.
stuck doing this show.
Playing clips of OnlyFans girls. I mean, you know.
I empathize with Wolf.
Alright, the 60 days are almost up.
Yeah.
Somehow Congress believes that the War Powers Act is in play.
Even though the president never called for this and the 60 days are up
And I saw Pete Hegseth this morning saying, no, no, no. During the ceasefire, we stopped counting.
So we really have another 20. Oh, I didn't hear this. No, it was this morning. I didn't have time to clip it, but it was hilarious. And then you have another 30 days.
I still think they filed this under U.N. Section 51. So I don't exactly know what Congress is doing. But here's an ABC Martha Raddatz report about the waste.
Tonight with an eye pop.
I never heard her say it with an accent.
Never heard her say that. The Strait of Hormuz blocked and no end in sight. Secretary Pete Hankseth not backing down on Capitol Hill.
pointing the finger at Congress. The biggest challenge.
The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans. The secretary combative, defensive and dismissive. The president has got himself in America stuck in the quagmire of another war in the Middle East. This is you, John. That's how you sound.
That's your comment. Congressman, you should know better. Shame on you. Shame on you. Calling this a quagmire two months in. Claiming a tactical victory. It's been an astounding military success. But are we winning the war? Absolutely. But pressed about the justification for war? Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated. Underground, they're buried and we're watching them 24-7. We have destroyed this war.
You just said 60 days.
because the nuclear weapon was an
Now you're saying that it was completely obliterated? They had not given up their nuclear ambitions. The grilling on Capitol Hill comes tonight as gas prices hit a new high. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, drivers now paying $4.26 per gallon, up $1.32 since the war began.
How much it will cost Americans in terms of their increased cost in gas and food over the next year because of the Iran war? I would simply ask you what the.
cost is of an Iranian nuclear bomb. Overnight, President Trump posting a run.
Better get smart soon. Now they have to cry uncle. That's all they have to do. Just say we give up.
uncle
he's right i think we the time is on our side this doesn't seem to be that much going on for him
Nothing matters for the Congress, for the midterms. A lot of it matters. And then we have.
The Atlantic reporting interesting things.
This morning, a new report in The Atlantic is raising questions about what the president is being told about the war in Iran by his closest advisers. According to the magazine, Vice President Vance has repeatedly questioned the Defense Department's depiction of the war in Iran and whether the Pentagon has understated what appears to be the drastic depletion of U.S. missile stockpiles.
The Pentagon has claimed U.S. weapons stockpiles are robust, but the report claims Vance has expressed concerns about the availability of certain missile systems.
The White House has not publicly responded to the claims. Meanwhile, Iran. Well, actually, the president did respond to those claims in his typical backwards fashion. So they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. Typically, that's pretty good. What do you think, Jared? I mean, it's going to be hard for them to make a naval comeback. OK, now they have an air force.
Every one of their planes has been shut down or has been decimated. They have missiles. About 82 percent are gone and they have drones. And most of them are gone. Most of the factories are mostly gone.
And we have tremendous anti-drone equipment now between lasers and that new, very special machine gun. Oh, hold on a second. That knocks them out of the air like flies. And we use bullets instead of million dollar missiles. Oh, OK. So we don't need missiles. We have lasers and that very special machine gun.
Have you seen this machine gun that the president references? No. Have you? No. It's very special. I'm very excited to see it in action. Knock out a $30,000 drone. So I would say Jared would tell me that. Jared. With everything you just heard, typically we're in pretty good shape. And in addition, their economy is crashing.
Okay, so that's the play. We don't need million-dollar missiles. We shoot the drones with bullets and lasers and our special machine gun.
Okay.
Bling.
Yeah, these drones are cheap. Yeah, well, that's why we're not using missiles. But according to The Atlantic, Vice President Vance is very worried that we don't have any more missiles. So breaking news, nobody knows.
But then we have the whole question of.
the nuclear war capability of Iran.
And so there's two sides.
There's the CIA side, which I don't hear the president talking about CIA ever.
Do you ever hear him talking about the CIA? He's done a deal with them. What kind of deal? He's going to they're not going to mess with him and he's going to stop bad mouthing him.
Well, so...
The way I see it is the CIA is bad-mouthing him.
They are messing with him, but they're doing it through CIA cutouts, mainly Kiriakou.
Your guy, Kiriakou and Tucker, who comes from a CIA family.
So I don't know if you saw Kiriakou on Tucker. It came out a couple days ago. It was one of the worst of the Kiriakou interviews. It certainly was, but I did pull two clips from it.
Two or three weeks after this war began, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned. In his resignation letter, he said, I believe—he didn't say this in his letter. He said it in an interview with me shortly after the next day. He said, I believe the—
assassination attempt.
the other assassination attempt in Florida, a couple of breaches of Donald Trump's personal security secret service detail, and Charlie Kirk's murder may all have played a role.
in convincing the president to go to war with Iran. What do you think that means? I would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't either. But I would not be surprised. I don't have any inside information. I don't know nothing but.
I would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't either. But I would not be surprised if a person or multiple people got into the president's ear and said, this isn't a coincidence that there were these three events.
There were these three events because the Iranians are behind it. They've got these cells.
They're around the United States. We can't identify them. We can't catch them. But they're gunning for you. And Charlie Kirk was, you know, a practice hit or Charlie Kirk was a message or whatever. And I wouldn't be surprised if the president would believe something like that. If people he trusts.
are telling him there's a problem and the problem originates in Iran, whether it's true or not, that he would respond to that. A lot of people did tell him that. That's a fact. I can confirm it. People told him Iran is out to kill you. A lot of people told him that. Who does he get this from?
This is propaganda from these two yahoos. That's obvious.
Well, Charles.
was a warning from Iran? Really? Really? A lot of people have been telling him that. It's a fact. And he's so stupid. He believed him. It's a fact. It originates in Iran, whether it's true or not, that he would respond to that.
A lot of people did tell him that. That's a fact. I can confirm it. People told him. I can confirm it. I can confirm it.
Tucker. Kill you, the Butler assassination attempt. Iran was behind it. People were saying that. Fact.
Fact.
Just using the word fact. I'm going to use that all the time. I'm going to say that to Tina. I did not break that.
Back.
works really well in all relationships. But really what they're getting at is the obvious. I fully understand how this was in Israel's interest. And the Israelis have long wanted us to attack Iran and to overthrow the regime in Tehran. I get that. It's in their interest. But.
I've never believed, I don't think any CIA officer, past or present, believes or has believed that the Iranians were anywhere near a nuclear weapon. They don't.
have a delivery system that could deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States. And, you know, when you've got two national intelligence estimates, a national intelligence estimate is a sense of the entire intelligence community, all 18 organizations within the U.S. intelligence community.
The same guys who brought you Russiagate. Unanimously concluding that there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program twice as well as the late. There's no program. No program.
No, no.
Now, I'm not a big believer. That's pretty lame. I'm not a big believer in this. That's the worst interview I've ever seen him do. But these are two out-of-work CIA guys. Yeah.
just yapping and
CIA is.
connected at the hip with MI6, who don't want anything to change in Iran.
that.
is keep oil prices a little unstable. We love this. This is the way it should be. We've got everything. We got the shipping. We got the insurance, all that. We don't want we don't want anyone to take out Iran or do anything. And if anything, this president listens to the military. Now, I'm not saying the military knows what they're doing, but I'll bet they have better intelligence than the CIA about what's what's happening in Iran.
I bet they've war-gamed this whole thing out for decades, for decades. And, of course, they say something completely different from the fact that Tucker and Kiriakou have. Iran. And this is with their cheerleader, Lady G. Do you believe that 2013 is a year of reckoning when it comes to Iran?
Senator, every year I seem to have a year of reckoning. So, again, I'm paid to be a sentinel for this country, so I consider 2013 a year of reckoning.
Mr. Orion, you said that the sanctions you believe were not working in their ultimate goal of deterring them from acquiring the new capabilities. Is that correct?
That's correct, sir. Their nuclear industry continues. Now, what is the likelihood that they would work in the future, in your view?
I believe this regime, knowing it can't win the affections of its own people.
I think they are very concerned that the sanctions could turn the people against them, in which case I think they'd lost benefits. They could be willing to give up even the nuclear effort to stay in power. Do you think that's the most likely scenario if we continue sanctions? I think we have to continue sanctions but have other options ready. Do you believe that the Israelis would attack?
if they believed they had reached a critical point in terms of nuclear capability.
The Israelis have said so, Senator. I take them at their word. If they did attack Iran, would they need our help militarily?
They could conduct a strike without our help.
So that was 2013, the Armed Services Committee from the Senate with Lady G. This is 2021. Now this is General McKenzie. I'll start with what is my most challenging driver of instability, the actions of Iran. For more than 40 years, the Iranian regime has funded and aggressively supported.
terrorism and terrorist organizations and defied international norms by conducting malign activities which destabilized not only the region but global security and commerce as well. Iran is a major source of instability in Iraq and uses Iraq as a proxy battleground against the United States. Iran's actions also contribute to the instability seen in Syria and Yemen.
two regional conflicts that have resulted in millions of refugees, famine, and outbreaks of diseases. So what are we doing to mitigate this instability? I believe our presence in the region, mostly defensive in nature,
has brought us to a period of contested deterrence with Iran. That presence sends a clear and unambiguous signal of our capabilities and will. The capabilities and will to defend partners in U.S. national interests, a signal which has been clearly received by the Iranian regime. Yeah, so there's your two sides.
Military industrial complex versus CIA. CIA connected to all the financial stuff with MI6. There's nothing. Keep it going. And military, we want to kill somebody. And then apparently Trump in the middle, like, oh, Iran is trying to attack you, Mr. President.
This is a load of bull crap.
Yeah, well.
Kind of overlook some of the elements of the cult-like behavior of the Iranian regime. I'll say.
Just a little bit. Which is kind of an Armageddon-oriented doomsday.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
The YouTube pastors are all over that. Well, there's a lot of evidence for it. Yeah. And the idea is to develop a nuke, blow up Jerusalem until the 12th Imam comes back. And he'll be on a white horse, too. And he's like a thousand years old. He's a cool dude.
And he's going to come back and save the day.
Yeah. With Jesus by his side, by the way. That's right. I know. I know Jesus is going to be right there. Yeah. Yep. As soon as the 12th, the imam. So these guys are nuts. Yes.
And so they really should probably better off just eliminating them. And I think I think that's happening. But we'll see. Well, they're trying. I think they've run out of targets. Yeah. Well, we'll see.
Right now, it seems like we have, what was this other clip that I had? Oh, yeah, this was from GB News. The war on Iran has not just brutally exposed.
Thank you.
The world's insurance markets moved in hock to Lloyd's. However, reports indicate the insurers were caught off guard by this war. They had no knowledge prior. And in response, policies for ships transporting oil and other goods in and out of the Gulf were either cancelled or soared by up to £100,000. Global oil transport risk collapse.
Not because they were necessarily in danger, but because the insurance rates became prohibitively expensive. Donald Trump has stepped in, ordering the US Development Finance Corporation to cheaply insure all maritime trade, cutting Lloyds out. This is the US's chance to kill London's insurance market.
and with it a lot of the UK's international influence. Think of it. Lloyd's of London was so influential it had the ability to shut down the global transport of oil. That's an asset Britain wouldn't want to lose. But Trump's public fallout with Keir Starmer suggests he'll be unlikely to take pity on us.
once he has the world insuring its ships cheaply by the U.S. Is this the final nail in the coffin for British global influence, or will the U.S. lose in Iran and Keir Starmer be proved right to have acted so cautiously? Now, the DFC... That's an excellent clip, by the way. Thank you. And I would put my money on Trump before I would on Keir Starmer. Yes.
And our gay General Patton, who set up the DFC Maritime Reinsurance Program, Scott Besson, which is now up to $40 billion. I can't find any evidence anyone's using it yet.
But it's, they're open for business.
So that would be phenomenal. And that would be the win.
That would be a big change in things. Meanwhile, everybody's blaming everything on Iran. You know what? Donations for the No Agenda show are down. You know why? Iran. Iran. All right. Hey, everyone. Thanks for joining today. We had a strong quarter for our community, our business, and our progress towards AI.
More than 3.5 billion people use at least one of our apps every day. We saw a small decrease in total family dailies due to internet outages. Yeah, this is Zuckerberg on the earnings call.
Listen, people use at least one of our apps every day. We saw a small decrease in total family dailies due to Internet outages in Iran and blocks in Russia. But otherwise, trends across our apps are strong.
Daily and monthly actives on Instagram and Facebook continue to grow with video driving all-time high engagement across both apps. It's Iran, baby. We're down just a little bit.
a little bit because of Iran. And then.
His CFO, Susan Lee, I've never even heard of this woman, but I happen to be listening to the earnings call.
she's a bot.
I think she's actual AI and that Zuckerberg has made an AI CFO. Listen to this woman speak. Thanks, Mark. And good afternoon, everyone. Wow.
Right away?
She's not.
This can't be true. Thanks, Mark. And good afternoon, everyone.
Let's begin with our segment results. All comparisons are on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted.
We estimate 3.56 billion people used at least one of our family evaps on a daily basis in March.
which declined slightly from December due to Internet disruptions in Iran and a restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia. Absent these impacts, growth in family daily active people would have been positive.
quarter over quarter. Is she AI or what?
You muted yourself.
I muted myself because the screen went.
It went black, and I clicked it to come back, and it muted. You mean your screensaver kicked in with your SETI at home? Or did Pointcast kick in? Do you remember Pointcast? Boy, I'm telling you, that's a callback that nobody gets. Let me just tell everybody. Nobody gets that one. Let me see. Hands up, Troll Room, if you remember Pointcast. Pointcast.
was really the precursor to everything. News feeds to everything.
I see no one raising their hand. Okay. We will have to tell you.
So when was this, John? This must have been 98, maybe? I think it was even before then. It came out real early. It was chewing up all the reason.
resources. Well, let me tell people what it is, and then you can talk about how horrible it was, because I had to come out. You know, it was actually pretty cool. No, it was fantastic. So, Pointcast, this is in the days when we had monitors where you had to have a screensaver.
Because otherwise, you're...
Wow. Eudora... Burnian. Eudora email. I'm doing the callbacks now, baby. Your Eudora email.
I'm doing it would burn into your screen. So we had famously we had flying toasters and we had fish as screensavers. Am I just on a roll here or what? Yeah, keep it up. And and so these guys came out with this free screensaver called Pointcast. And you set up.
screensaver. So you needed a screensaver. Everybody had to have a screensaver. Otherwise, your monitor was ruined. You were a schmuck. You were a douche. And you could select.
categories of news with little check boxes. And so then when your screensaver kicked in, it was giving you headlines and stock prices. And this is way before any, any like Yahoo finance or any of this stuff. And people were mesmerized by it. Everyone's like, holy crap. The problem was.
Our companies at the time, we had in New York 110 people in the office on a T1 line. T1 is one megabit per second. Yeah, but it was solid. It was a solid one megabit per second, but nothing compared to what we mean. One megabit per second is a fraction of what your cable modem does at home.
currently.
And the minute the screensavers kicked in.
you
couldn't get to any website. Email was failing because the pipe was completely filled with people's point casts. So then we had to go around.
saying, please turn off your point cast, turn back on the toasters. But man.
That was resource hungry. Yeah, it was. I think it crunched your computer, too. But it was so cool. And that was the precursor to everything. I think it was. And then and then the joke of it was the guys who did it. I don't know. I can almost remember their names. They were offered, you know.
In those days, it was big money, a couple hundred million dollars for the product. No, really? Yeah, they were offered big dough for the product.
Before all the scandals came out about us being resource hungry and being a mess, they were saying, yeah, we'll give you this. I forgot who it was that made the deal, but it was a huge offer, and it was like, nah, we're going to sit on this. We're going to hold out. We're going to hold out for the big bucks.
Hold on, book of knowledge.
I tried to buy Pointcast and for how much money?
Let's see if the book of knowledge can tell us.
It might have some information.
That's as old for the book of knowledge.
According to the Book of Knowledge, News Corporation, led by Rupert Murdoch, attempted to purchase Pointcast for $450 million in January 1997, but the offer was withdrawn in March after Pointcast rejected it, seeking more money.
Thus, it has been written.
Wow. Can you imagine how sad those guys are now? Yeah, because that thing fell apart after that. Oh, man, that was dynamite. Classic. Yeah. Wow. I didn't know it was as recent as 97. I thought it was a little earlier, but okay. Kind of makes sense. Kind of makes sense.
Well, let's stay on the... By the way, I think there was another product that we had. In fact, I know the guy pretty well who...
refused some offers. One of these
Social, early social network.
I wish I could remember which one it was. You might, since you're on a roll, you might remember it. It was during the live journal era.
Somebody came up with something that was getting hot, really hot, and it was going to be.
It does the same kind of thing. You ready? You ready? Movable type.
No.
Was it movable type? I'm sure movable type could have been in a similar story. No, it was something else.
It was, damn it, I wish I could just recall.
I'm going to have to go through my own material and try to figure it out.
LiveJournal. I never really got into LiveJournal.
like that, nor movable type. But they were all they were all basically blogs, weren't they?
Moveable type was a... Moveable type was a... It was a foundation. It wasn't really a blog. Hmm.
Tesla Coil says, yes, that's where my teenage emo diaries live. Oh, yeah.
I've been holding on to diaries.com, hoping those days return.
Every once in a while, I get an email.
Will you sell this? I said yes, one Bitcoin and you never hear from him again.
That's too bad. What, you own diaries.com? I do.
to do. It's worth a million dollars. Well, go get a million dollars. I'll give you 100 grand.
Boom.
Wait, I'll give you 200 grand. Boom.
80% I could do it. I'd do it. Yeah, well, go do it. All right, I'll agent it. I can sell it.
You cannot sell anything. I can sell it.
Another classic no agenda exit strategy.
Well, it's not much of an exit strategy. It's just a quick hit. Well, I'll have 800,000. I'm exiting.
I'm out.
I'm buying a Bitcoin and I'm out.
I'm sorry.
Mimi doesn't like it when I make these jokes.
No, she doesn't.
Is that a douche?
It's not nice. Always threatening to quit the show constantly. No. Yes, I am, actually. Yes. Well, why not? It's fun. It gets everybody on edge.
Um, a little Mandelson-Epstein update, because that stuff continues. Good, then while we're at it, we can play the Jeffrey Epstein ranch story. Well, why don't we start with that? Jeffrey Epstein ranch story. Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro ranch stretched for miles. Its centerpiece, the enormous...
This mansion he built with its pool and library stables nearby, none of it searched by federal investigators after Epstein's 2019 arrest to the shock of Hector Balderas, at the time, New Mexico's attorney general. Do you think the feds should have searched the ranch back in 19? Absolutely. By 2019, Balderas had opened a state investigation into the ranch, but says he was asked to stand down.
We assumed.
with their reputation for being aggressive, that they were going to be aggressive and then share that evidence with us. It was a very simple one-two punch. And that's happened before in other cases. Absolutely. But it didn't happen here. It didn't happen here. Now, New Mexico is trying to make up for lost time, opening a new state investigation. I think what bothers me the most, knowing the extent of what happened, why nothing was done.
Okay. What do they expect to find?
An unfinished ranch in the middle of nowhere, New Mexico, Zorro Ranch, whatever it was called. Well, the story is that there were two teenage girls buried near the ranch. That's the story. Go dig them up. I actually met the guy who bought the ranch.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, he's, uh, I don't know.
He was running for Comptroller of Texas, Doug Effines, I think his name is. Interesting guy, one of those petite male kind of dudes.
Very successful. Let's see if Doug Effines. What is Effines? I think it's Effines. Let me just see what his name is. Doug Effines?
Let me see.
No, that's not the right.
Huffine? Maybe it's Huffines. Doug Huffines. That's the book of knowledge. Yeah, well, if I can't— It's one for one. If I can't—
Okay, let's see. All right, book of knowledge. What's the name of the guy who was running for Texas comptroller who bought Epstein's Zorro Ranch?
The book of knowledge can do this.
And I'm impressed.
According to the book of knowledge, the Texas comptroller candidate who bought Epstein's Zorro Ranch
Don Huffines, a former Texas state senator.
His family purchased the New Mexico ranch through a public auction in 2023.
With proceeds reportedly aiding Epstein's victims. There you go.
It has been written.
So and he's already said, oh, you can come. You want to do some research? Come on over here. Do whatever you want. He bought it for a song. I'm sure the guy's not dumb.
But he said, yeah, anyone come in here and check it out, do whatever you want. And I don't know if anyone's if the DOJ is even interested.
Apparently they're not part two of the clips. New Mexico lawmakers this spring also established a bipartisan commission to investigate Zorro after the release of the Justice Department's Epstein files. At this point, we don't have the full story. And what we understand is that most of that information was provided to the federal government and has not been provided back.
The DOJ declined to comment on those specific materials, but says they welcome New Mexico undertaking additional investigations of Zorro. And if those uncover potential federal crimes, they stand ready to work closely together to prosecute. Outside the ranch now, a memorial with signs, pictures, and crosses.
the main driveway leading up to the ranch, but this is as far as we're able to go. You can see the no trespassing signs that have been put up around the property. The ranch was purchased in 2023 by a Texas real estate developer who wants to turn it into a Christian retreat, renaming the road here San Rafael after the patron saint of healing. I don't think that you could turn this space around with the horror that it's.
The family of Virginia Roberts Dufresne, who died by suicide last year. She's one of at least 10 girls or young women who say they were groomed or assaulted by Epstein at Zorro. Oh, there it is. There's Doug.
He seems like a nice enough guy. Doesn't seem creepy.
Maybe.
Was it Tumblr you were thinking of?
Tumblr now.
But I'm sure there's a story behind that, too.
Well,
Yeah, Tumblr was bought for –
billion dollars and then resold for a couple million.
There's the story on that.
Yeah, that's just the opposite story.
So let's get back into this because Keir Starmer, the guy you would not bet on, is not doing too well with this Mandelson kerfuffle. A Mandelson known as the Prince of Darkness in UK elite circles. Peter Mandelson was once entrusted to strengthen relations with the UK's most powerful ally. Now his links to another once...
powerful man, the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, ascending shockwaves through the British establishment.
UK lawmakers want to know how much the man who appointed Mandelson as the UK ambassador to the US knew about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson betrayed our country.
Parliament.
Mr Speaker, he lied repeatedly to my team when asked...
his relationship with Epstein.
before and during his tenure as ambassador.
I regret appointing him. If I knew then what I know now, he would never have been anywhere near government.
A forceful condemnation, but critics say Starmer was not blind to the risks. After being questioned repeatedly by the leader of the opposition in Parliament, Keir Starmer... Oops.
Linux? Let's see. Mandelson's vetting process for the job of the ambassador to the US. He did know that Mandelson and Epstein had kept in touch even after Epstein's conviction. And that, for many, raises serious...
about the UK Prime Minister's judgment. Mr Speaker, I asked the Prime Minister... Under pressure from both the opposition and his own Labour MPs, Keir Starmer has agreed to release documents detailing how Mandelson was vetted for the Washington job. But it has done little to quell the anger of some lawmakers who say Mandelson, who was twice fired...
from previous governments over unrelated scandals should never have been appointed to a top diplomatic role.
He is now under criminal investigation for allegedly passing market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a business secretary in the wake of the global financial crash.
But as scrutiny of him intensifies, it is Keir Starmer and his decision-making that are firmly under spotlight. So this is being compared to the Profumo scandal.
Oh, please.
Do you remember the Profumo scandal? Yeah, I do remember it. What is your recollection of the Profumo scandal? It was a real classic sex scandal. Yeah.
Yeah, and it was like, you know, real, you know, it wasn't, it didn't have anything to do with just some guy's association with a creep.
I don't remember. I don't remember. Well, I mean, ask the Book of Knowledge for a briefing.
Book of Knowledge, give me a briefing on the Profumo scandal.
Then I have a clip about the prosciutto.
the guys who apparently wrote the book about it.
According to the Book of Knowledge, the Profumo affair was a 1963 British political scandal involving War Secretary John Profumo's affair with 19-year-old model Christine Keeler. The scandal's explosive nature stemmed from Keeler's simultaneous relationship with Soviet naval attache Yevgeny Ivanov.
raising national security fears. I remember now that happened at Clifton. Now I remember.
Yeah, yeah. She was like a Mata Hari spy. That's what was going on. She was a hottie, I think. Yeah, she was a hottie. In 1963, the publication which did more than any other to cover the Perfumo affair was a young magazine called Private Eye. And the Eye has been following the Epstein case for many years as well. And its editor, Ian Hislop, is with me now in the studio. Ian, great to have you here. And I've got a copy
of your new private eye. We'll read some of the jokes out in a moment.
First of all, a sense of history. Do you think this really is at the same level as the Profumo scandal? Well, I think there are two things. One is Profumo was a more junior minister than Peter Mandelson in the heart of New Labour. And if it was the end of that Tory establishment regime, this has got to be really embarrassing for the whole New Labour project. I mean, Mandelson is going to be arrested, isn't he?
It's fairly clear that the full criminal investigation is going to be very serious for him. Well, all we know, I suppose, this evening is that the police are carrying out an investigation. They've confirmed that. Yes. But it is jaw dropping. And I think because this story Profumo broke and exploded.
This one's been going for a very long time, and everyone involved pretends they had absolutely no idea. Keir Starmer, all his advisers, all these businessmen, everyone's saying, we had no idea that Epstein was in some way a paedophile.
Whereas, in fact, 2008.
is the date of the case. And we ran a cover about this in 2011.
I was going to ask you, when was the cloud the size of a man's hand suddenly appearing and you thought this Epstein guy is a big story?
It was over the then Duchess of York, now not Duchess anymore. Fergie. And Fergie. And it was a story that she'd accepted £15,000 from Jeffrey Epstein. He was then convicted, paedophile and financier, who everyone was pretending was absolutely fine.
And we ran a cover with Sarah and her two daughters and a voice saying, you know, I'll give you 15,000 pounds. And she was saying, is that for Beatrice or both of them? Now, at the time, this was considered harsh and offensive. But it was trying to make the point that everyone was pretending they didn't know. Yeah, exactly. Just like everyone in America.
They didn't know. Wasn't it McCain's wife? Who was it that said everyone knew about Epstein? Was that McCain's wife?
No, whose wife? It was someone.
Oh, that eludes me. I can't think of it. But somebody, yeah, a lot of people say stuff. Yeah, everyone knew this.
You didn't? What? What? You weren't in the know? I wonder who that was.
Yes, Sidney McCain. It was. The perception between a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, like she mentioned, but actively participate in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not far from here on trafficking charges.
Are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them?
Or is this a pipe dream that we need to address in the future somehow?
No, it's like.
everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing. But we had no one that was...
legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him for whatever reason they were afraid of him. All of a sudden someone said, BS, we're not afraid of you anymore and what you're doing is not only wrong, it's illegal, it's, you know, all those things. It's like a house of cards now. It's going to start tumbling, believe me. And these guys, if they don't leave the country, number one, they're going to get caught.
And not only will they get caught, but they're going to be made examples of. And that's exactly what we should be doing with these guys, especially. In my opinion, if, you know, I know there's questions, but Epsi's a chicken shit for doing what he did. He should have faced the music, that one. He should have.
Thank you.
So everybody knew. Everybody knew.
Everybody knew, just like Jimmy Savile.
They really buried that one, didn't they? That's the best. The Jimmy Savile stuff. Jim will fix you. Yeah, that's the best.
Saturday is a big election day in Texas.
Sadly, I could I cannot stand for mayor.
because I don't live in Fredericksburg, it turns out.
So.
gets a shutdown no agenda social for no reason remember that he he he wants to protect his political career that's why he's shutting down no agenda social okay no agenda
A couple.
clips well i'm i'm i was gonna say something here and you just like ramrod me yeah well wait for us wait for you
So I'm getting there.
Election Day is Saturday, and we have a baron running for mayor of Hayes County. A baron from no agenda? Yes, Baron Alex Zavala, also known as the NICU dad. And he wrote a very nice note, which I won't read the whole thing, but it's in the show notes if you want to see it.
And he says, I'm no agenda. I've been very vocal about keeping political parties out of nonpartisan positions. I'm the only candidate who is not endorsed by a political party. The Dems have their candidate and the Moms for Liberty have theirs. I'm pretty sure I'm going to win, but let's go with God willing. I'm sure I'm not the first no agenda party candidate, but here we go. So if you're in Hayes County, which is pretty big.
for Baron Alex Zavala. We need a guy like that in politics. Yeah, an honest man. Yes. Oh, he's a very honest man. And he's the NICU dad from the NICU dad's podcast. So.
And he goes to the no agenda meetups. And you know, we can go to city hall.
And no, I don't. Yeah, that's a good idea. MVP. I wish I lived in Hayes County because, yes, then I could be sheriff. That would be cool. You could appoint me sheriff, but no, no such.
Back to you, Bob. I got two screwball clips. Well, first of all, Netanyahu has prostate cancer. I thought he was already healed. My understanding, he still has it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today he has received treatment for prostate cancer and is now healthy. It's the first time he's publicly acknowledged the diagnosis. The 76-year-old says he had prostate surgery almost two years ago.
and that a more recent tumor was successfully treated with radiation therapy. He asked that a public announcement be delayed due to the war with Iran.
Nothing at all. All right. Okay. So I've got this screwball. This is a very interesting.
You got it.
Give it to, you know, Massey, Thomas Massey.
you
Renegade congressman. Yes. He's got this skiff story that I thought was fascinating. And I took one of my colleagues, Victoria Sparks, in a skiff. I said, there's a document nobody's looking at. We need to go read. And so we go in the skiff. It was a letter from Senator Ron Wyden.
And I don't know how he has the senators, particularly those on the Intelligence Committee, they get access to things. When a bill says that they have to notify Congress of something, what they really mean is they have to notify the Intelligence Committee. And then the Intelligence Committee just doesn't say anything or they don't even bother to look at it. And so Ron Wyden.
in the Senate. He's a Democrat. He's on the Intelligence Committee over there.
He discovered an innovative loophole they're using to spy on Americans in a way I can't even tell you here because the FBI's interpretation of the law is top secret.
Literally, there's a red and white cover.
On top of Ron Wyden's letter that says top secret.
And Victoria Sparks and I went in there, and we read it. It's very troubling. It's an interpretation, a secret interpretation of the FISA law, and it can't even tell you how they're interpreting. Now, when you have secret laws, that's when you know your country has gone too far. How do you know you're not breaking secret laws?
How do you know what your government's doing? The nature of the two documents I saw were secret interpretations of the law. And you should be allowed to know how the executive branch is interpreting the law.
Otherwise, how could, for instance, the Supreme Court rule? Or how could you vote?
for a representative that's going to vote for you if you don't...
If you don't know what they're voting on and they don't know what they're voting on. So when do we find out what this is? I mean, this.
is all part of the ongoing Section 702 reinstatement that I think is still ongoing? Yeah, I think so.
So I'd like to know what that is. Secret law, secret interpretation. What is this?
That's Pfizer.
That's the whole thing. You've got the Pfizer. It needs to be dumped. Yes. And that's why it's stuck in the in the house, I think, is it in the house or in the Senate? It's probably the house. Yeah. It's sunsetting. It's going to be gone soon and not soon enough.
Remember we had those clips like, oh, well, it's only a couple thousand now, but they just changed the way they were.
Yeah.
Right.
And I think the way they do it is they just go to Google and Amazon and.
maybe Apple, and just say, give us some details.
we seem to give our information up willingly.
it on the open market.
But I don't know what the law interpretation is. I'd like to know that. So Massey just says that and then nothing happens? No, that's what happens. He says that nothing happens, of course. Oh, OK. Well, groovy. Well, that's just the way it is. You're a Republican. Nothing gets done. Yeah.
So I have this one last little clip here.
Oh, this is the, there's this woman named Sophie Lewis who is a professor at one of the universities. And I just thought this was an interesting clip because it brings out the anti-family, anti-everything, you know, let the government raise your kids.
This whole undercurrent that's going on.
Dead.
is the Democrat Party.
Communists.
And I thought this was worthwhile to listen to. This is the Abolished Family clip.
All of the attacks on parental rights going on in the country today are direct--
to the far left's desire.
to abolish the nuclear family. I'm Karlyn Boriseko. I'm an analyst and undercover journalist following the far left in America. And let me show you.
inside some sea
presentations.
of parental rights. - Yes, it's true. What the far right says, feminism wants to abolish the family.
to hell with family values and all capitalist value for that matter.
My hunch is that just beyond the horizon, beckoning to those of us who want to hear it, there is a world of relationship no longer strangled by scarcity and no longer held hostage by...
Thank you.
you
That was abolish the family queer communist Sophie Lewis.
on abolishing the nuclear family lectures.
at the University of Pennsylvania pushing these.
their gender center. We cover Sophie and her friends quite a bit.
Okay.
I just thought I'd throw that in as an uplifting little clip. Yeah, I'm-
I feel very uplifted and positive now.
And is she a Democrat or is she, what is this? Oh, she's a Republican.
She's obviously a Democrat. I mean, is she? She's not a politician. She just writes crazy books.
Yeah.
Yeah, but people love this stuff. There's this anti-capitalist vein in the current Democrat Party. Current? It's really disgusting. Current?
It's been that way forever.
I'm not so sure it was that way in the 50s. Okay. Well, in my forever.
Yeah.
It used to be, you know, the...
pro-labor party, which I guess is somewhat socialist if you think about it.
Good union jobs.
All right. What's this fake brand? I've been looking at that for the past two hours. Yeah, the fake brand. This is a piece of A.I. that showed up on the net. The problem is this was Brando.
supposedly being interviewed after the Godfather movies when he was older. But the Brando that's in this AI is a Brando from the 50s.
And this whole thing is nonsense. And it floated around. I thought it was a classic example of, you know, AI being used to try to just put that anti-Jewish message out there. Because Brando, when he didn't accept the Academy Award, I think it was 1973. Oh, anti-Semite. Right away. It wasn't because of anything. He was about the Indians. That's why he had this woman. Oh, I remember he had that Indian woman come out.
Yeah, it was about a Native American complaint. It had nothing to do with the Jews in Hollywood. But somebody created this bull crap and put it on Twitter, and people were eating it up. Mr. Brando, why did you refuse the Academy Award last year? I refused it because of the increasing control of Zionists in Hollywood.
They own the studios, they shape the stories, they decide who gets heard and who doesn't. I saw it clearly, and I couldn't be part of that system anymore.
Not that it's wrong. It's just not what he said.
Well, it's true. Not that he's wrong. Not that he's wrong. Hey, with that.
I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the second word of point cast, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Kramer. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me count you for a second.
1937 on the Troll Count, listening live to noagendastream.com. We appreciate everyone.
who is checking us out probably, hopefully, or you should be listening in a modern podcast app.
Because now the podcast index is stopping slop and spam. We're stopping slop, John. What? Yeah, we're stopping the slop.
We're stopping the slop. Oh, the AI crap? Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah. Okay, how have you accomplished this? Ah, we're fighting AI with AI. Yep, we are, um... Yes! We have built our own weights in a model.
because there's a lot of things that you don't want to overfit. Overfitting is the term. You want to overfit the model so it starts making wrong decisions. But the spam is pretty easy to detect because that's typically they just want to somehow get a website.
free podcast account. You get a website that is highly ranked in Google and then they get SEO juice. But the AI slop is off the chart.
I mean, people are just throwing out hundreds of podcasts a day of nonsense.
A day? Oh, yeah. From one outfit. 100 new podcasts. Boom. 100 new podcasts. And they do it on one of these outfits that give you ads. So if you have 100 new podcasts and each one has 10 episodes, so now we're at 1,000, that's a CPM.
And you get two ads at the front and two ads at the back. You know, if you get a couple people listening, you're making pocket change.
You know, a CPM is probably remnant stuff, five bucks. So, you know, you could be making 50, maybe $100 a day. That's not, you know.
That's money.
So now we're detecting this and we're chopping it out like now. We're just done with it.
ruining everything.
So we're not going to let it ruin.
So get a modern podcast app, you know, because Apple can't fight this. They don't have our technology. They don't have the people.
I don't know how they're going to do it. Or Spotify, even worse, Spotify. They're actually providing the hosting for all these scam podcasts. No. Yes. Yeah, they bought.
What hosting company do they buy?
They bought a hosting company and they bought Megaphone, which is the advertising company. Yeah, they are the bad actor in the bunch.
So, you know, they have competing. What was the name of that company they bought?
Not ACAS. Anchor. Thank you, Professor Ben-Rose. Anchor.
They bought Anchor. It's free. Someone can create a free account. So you create a whole bunch of free accounts and then you get your megaphone advertising and it's all slop. It's no good. It's even worse as people are...
You know, LibriVox, you familiar with LibriVox? No, I'm not. Oh, so people do audio books of open source or public domain books.
which is, you know, a lot of it's not great readers. So now the AI slop guys, they are doing AI-generated versions of the LibriVox books. So if you look and go to Spotify and look for the story of Frankenstein, you'll see, you know, 50 of them.
And, you know, can you find a real one in the middle of that? It's not going to be easy.
So anyway, you want one of those modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com. And the groovy thing about it, besides 27 new features that you won't get on the legacy apps, is when we go live, we fire off the bat signal. You get an alert. You know that we're live. You get it right there in your podcast app. Or if you don't have time for that, you want to listen to it later. Within 90 seconds of us publishing the show, you'll know about it in the modern
We are a value for value podcast. We talked about this at the top of the show. We don't have ads. We are not slop by definition. We are not slop. Maybe two old dudes, but we're not slop.
So we just say, you like value? You got value? Was this valuable to you? Are you still listening at this point? Then you certainly must have gotten some value in the past two hours. All we ask is that you send it back to us in time, talent, or treasure. That could be many different things, helping us out with clips, giving us story ideas. I didn't even...
Remind me to do the SCOTUS decision.
Of the Voting Rights Act. Because Rob Carty, the constitutional lawyer, sent me a note about it, and it is quite different from what you've heard from the M5A.
Okay.
Well, since you say it, I'll do it right now. This is bonus, bonus content.
So I'll just give you, let me give you the Nicole Wallace.
version of this Supreme Court decision.
In a likely blow to Democrats' representation in Congress and in a complete and utter perversion of the original purpose of the Voting Rights Act, the nation's highest court told states that they can almost never consider race when drawing congressional maps to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
and striking down Louisiana's congressional maps due to a majority black district.
The decision was 6-3 along ideological lines with all three liberal justices dissenting. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, said this, quote, Compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act could not justify the state's use.
A race-based redistricting here. The state's attempt to satisfy the district court's ruling, although understandable, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
While the court technically stopped short of overturning this key provision entirely in a scathing dissent, Justice Elena Kagan called it demolished.
and said that today's majority opinion amounts to, quote, the largest reduction to minority representation.
since the end of Reconstruction.
President Obama posting about it on X. Oh, this is horrible. This is diminishing the black vote in America. But what was the case really about? I cite from the constitutional lawyer. After the 2020 census, Louisiana redrew some congressional districts. A coalition of black voters challenged the plan.
claiming that it diluted black voting power. A court agreed and invalidated the plan. So Louisiana wrote a new plan that specifically accounted for race and protected black voting power, just as the court, the lower court, required.
Then a group of non-black voters challenged this new map saying, hey.
This is racist. They took it to the Supreme Court. And guess what? The Supreme Court said, yeah.
can't do that based on race.
color they are.
And that's what they struck down. But you will see it as Republicans hate black people.
Well, the funny thing is...
Some years and years and years ago, there was a discussion. I'll probably have a clip about it.
how there was a kind of a gentleman's agreement between black, certain black congressmen and certain white.
representatives that would allow
blacks to get a foothold. Please say these blacks a couple more times. These blacks, a foothold, a wink, wink, nudge, nudge foothold. You guys can always have this district, but we always get to have this district so we can always, you know, it's just going to be this nice balance between the two of us. And it was a gentleman's agreement.
have this sort of race-based distinction. And I guess somebody finally called. I always thought it was going to fall apart. It had to.
It's completely ridiculous.
Okay.
Well, there you go. Bonus content right there for you, everybody.
So that's one way that you can provide value back to the show by being a constitutional lawyer helping us out. You can also do things like create art, artwork for the show. It's not very hard to do anymore, but we have some, I think, some great end of show mixes. The music is getting much better.
and the concepts around our end of show mixes are getting better such as the newsletter is now just a staple we're just putting the newsletter into ai and turning it into a song but the music is really good and then uh one of our producers i think was mvp uh did all the numbers pi at least for as long as the song lasted 3.14 etc
And that turned out to be kind of interesting.
And then there's a donation song at the end. So this is a big number. It's a really big number.
You don't say!
Yeah.
You can also create art and you can upload that at noagendaartgenerator.com. The art generator by itself is maintained by Sir Paul Couture. And I need to mention that the Red Knight Order of the Heart pins are in.
I'm reliably informed from Jay. Have you seen them? And you'll get one shortly. I know. But have you seen them?
Oh yeah, I got them right here in the, they're right here. Are you wearing it? Are you wearing your, your... I don't have a lapel.
Just put it on your collarbone. It'll be fine. Just stick it in.
So we want to thank.
We want to thank Ryan M. Scott, the artist who gave us the artwork for episode 1863. We titled that one Nakedly. This was an interesting piece.
I had some complaints about it because I thought Curry and Dvorak was too small. It was like a postcard, false flag postcard with our president saluting right in front of the American flag.
But what was cool is that in each of the letters, there was a little scene from the White House Correspondents Dinner.
And.
I'm typically not a fan of small things in the artwork, but this was well done. And I guess it's AI.
You were
It's pretty. It is. It's pretty. I think it's a combination. He had to do some.
There's no way you could prompt this.
I don't know. I don't know what you can or can't promise. I kind of like this other false flag, which is the blue, red, and white. You didn't like that one. Now, we would have chosen...
We would have chosen the SPLC artwork by Darren O'Neill, which was a cool piece. It had a guy with a KKK hood on and an SPLC Southern Poverty Liars Club.
And it had this, you know, this KKK SPLC guy with his hand out grabbing some dollars underneath his head funding.
Hate to end hate. But Darren neglected to see that the hand was backwards. It was the wrong hand sticking out of the left arm.
So Darren, if you had just re-prompted it, man, you might have had a shot.
So, sorry, we have to draw the line some- wow, did you see this bb net and yahoo piece?
The one that just came in? Yeah. This is great.
Bebe Netanyahu lying on the beach in a Speedo.
And he has seashells like the Comey seashells, except his say 6947.

And we have the special InstaNight Red Night Order of the Heart campaign still running. And that today will go to James Pelliccio. I think we pronounce it. He's from Oxford, Pennsylvania, comes in with $1,000.
And he says, Jimmy.

During World War II...
To see if you were a spy or a Nazi, the test was.
You had to say the word Scheffening. So if I was an American, they'd think I was a Nazi spy? Yes. Or you were, well, the Nazis might think you were a spy. Depends on who was using the question, asking the question.
So just to make sure, I want to help you learn how to say this properly.
Because I'd hate for you to get picked up as a spy.
Scheveningen.
Yeah, you're dead. Craig Nuzzo, Warrenville, Illinois, $210 and six dimes.

Plenty more show to come with three outstanding end-of-show mixes. John's tip of the day, but first at this moment, we always select the end-of-show ISO. Why? I don't remember anywhere, but it's fun to do. I'm over ISO'd here. I got four, and I don't think they're any good. So I'm going to go first. Ready?
Hit it.
down.
I love that. And that's wonderful. And that's a wonderful model.
They sound kind of...
It's over.
Maybe this one.
They had a great time. No, I don't. Oh, wait, I have this one. Distraction alert. I don't like any of them.
Well, I got two that you probably won't like either. Okay. Okay. One was sent in by a producer who will remain nameless because it's.
or
It's just a producer's clip. ISO AJ.
This next one was nine seconds, really?
Here's the next one.
with you and with folks is that this is real and and it's cool a perfect example of the beauty that happens okay so i didn't click i did obviously sent in the wrong clip
It's supposed to be just a short little snippet from the middle of that. Well, I can set that. Hold on a second. So it's, I can set that. Let me see.
What you were thinking was, let me see.
This is real.
And it's cool. It's cool. Okay, I can set that.
It's worth it.
This is real. And it's cool.
Boom. Cool. You got to get a little further. Yeah. Okay. Hold on. This is all Linux, by the way.
I made this specifically... What's the editor?
I built this, the Curry Caster.
I built it myself. Here we go. This is real. And it's cool. There you go. Did I nail it? You nailed it. Yeah. I don't know why I didn't do it. Curry cast it for the win, baby.
Before we do anything like that, it's time for John's tip of the day. Oh, hold on a second. I'm sorry. Just for the Nazis out there, it's GNU Linux.
They're already in the troll room. Excuse me. It refused to say it. Linux.
Linux.
All right, tip of the day.
know it's not.
Yeah.
not okay.
It's just Dolman.
Okay, I went back to the well here. We're going to do a wine tip. Oh, yes. Love the wine tips. People love the wine tips.
Costco
Oh, wow. Tina just was just in Austin. Crap. She missed out. Yeah.
This is the Kirkland.
2024, Bordeaux Blanc.
699.
This is the perfect wine for you ABC people.
Anything but Chardonnay.
which is a huge contingent of people that are sick of Chardonnay.
And they want something that's refreshing, juicy, great flavors, nice nose. It's got everything going on. It's the Kirkland 2024 Bordeaux Blanc Van de Bordeaux Appalachian Bordeaux Controla.
It has a little moniker at the bottom. It's a little Chateau name where it came from.
which I'd have to look at the label to see. Oh, you have it there? I have only a photo of it. Well, I have questions.
You are not allowed to drink wine. No, no, I can drink now.
six months. No, it turns out my dietician said I can have a glass of wine. This dietician deserves a raise.
you
Well, hey, I'm happy because I've been telling all my friends, because everyone wants to know, how's John? How's John? How's John? I'm so sick of it. Well, he's not dead, okay? It's just, how's John? How's John?
But I tell them like.
kind of sad because he can't have Little John's candies, he can't have Gigawatt coffee roasters, and he can't have any wine. Like, oh, oh no, how is he holding up? I said, well, he's kind of grumpy.
But now it turns out you can have wine. So you have sampled this yourself.
Yes, the Chateau Petit Freillon, it says at the very bottom, which is the chateau, is an ordinary Bordeaux from the, probably the Entre-de-mer area.
But it's the wine for you ABC folk.
Super cheap. Everybody loves it. It's gotten 91 points from one reviewer, and the Costco wine blog gave it 89 points, and I think they were being cheesy. Now, is this a white wine?
Yes, white wine, Bordeaux Blanc. Bordeaux Blanc, yes. Chateau Migran.
What? Chateau Migraine.
with Shetomi Grand.
Chateau Migraine. Chateau Migraine.
No, you don't get a migraine.
So there are a lot of people who are anything but Chardonnay? Yes, big deal. What kind of club is this? It's a bunch of women who don't like Chardonnay. There are people that for Chardonnay, which is so ubiquitous and is one of the most...
The amazing products that ever came out of California, some of them are just dynamite. And I mean, really stunning wines that compete with the world class wines from France.
They're sick of them. They just can't take them because there's too much Chardonnay out there. There's tons of it. They want something different. This is different. I'm going to pick some up because we have a couple of those women in our friend group.
They would love this stuff. Yeah. And, you know, wow, the Currys, man, they've got something great. And I'll be like, yeah, $6.99, baby. Is it even $6.99? How much is it?
$6.99. $6.99. Well, ladies and gentlemen, especially you ladies, you're ABCers. If that isn't a tip of the day, I don't know what is. You can go to tipoftheday.net or knowagentofun.com.
John C. Dvorak's tip of the day. Created by you and me. Just the tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti.
I'm excited about this tip. Wine tips do very well on the show.
for some reason.
No.
Let's see. $6.99. $6.99. Anything will go. It's hooch. I'll drink it.
