Never has a problem with Horowitz. Adam Curry. John C.
0:03
DeVore. It's Thursday, May 28th, 2026. This is your award-winning
0:07
Gimmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1872. This is no agenda.
0:13
We're back. Broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas
0:18
Hill Country right here in Phoenix. Number six, good morning
0:22
everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Refinery Row, where we've
0:25
come to the realization that Tai Chi walking is not
0:28
going to make you ripped, I'm John C. Dvorak. Please
0:36
tell me you haven't been Tai Chi walking. No, of
0:39
course not. Of course not. Who's going to believe that
0:41
bull crap? Are you seeing these ads? Yeah, I started
0:45
Tai Chi walking. Now I'm ripped. And this guy's muscle
0:49
bound? Come on. No, I haven't seen the ads. Are
0:54
you paying for your services and not just letting these
0:57
ads sneak into your feeds? You mean YouTube? Everything. I
1:02
pay for YouTube. Oh, you pay for it. That's why
1:05
you're not seeing these ads. Well, and that's why my
1:07
life is much better. Well, you're missing out. What if
1:11
you wanted to do Tai Chi walking? Well, I would
1:14
have heard you say it's bullcrap and I wouldn't have
1:16
done it. I wouldn't. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Stop the press. Uh-oh.
1:20
Oh, this is a mistake. This is a mistake. So,
1:26
whereas we both thought it was dynamite to have the
1:29
vice president fill in for Carolyn Levitt. Yeah. Now General
1:34
Scott Besant is filling in. So Trump's got him on
1:38
a rotation. Hey, you gotta do a swing shift today.
1:42
Oh yeah, boom. So we went to Fox, boom. There's
1:46
CNN. I'm waiting for CNN. Waiting for BBC. They've got
1:50
a switch now. MS now has four talking heads on
1:55
screen. Come on. Huh? Maybe these are like auditions. you
2:01
Yes! All right, we're going to do a screen test
2:04
with you, Scott. And the way we like to do
2:06
that here at WHTV is we like to put you
2:11
right out there and get you in front of the
2:13
crowd. And let's see what your ratings are. I don't
2:18
think, well, I'll have to look at it. after the
2:20
show. I don't know if this is his gig. No,
2:25
he's too glib. The thing about Vance is he's very
2:29
pleasant. He's got a nice smile. He, you know, plays
2:33
to the crowd. He's kind of like wants to be
2:35
liked. Yeah. Vance is gay. What? Gay guys can be
2:43
funny and entertaining. In fact, after gay comics, maybe. Yeah,
2:49
see? Right away, your network got shut off because you
2:53
said the G word. You back? Yeah, here's what happened.
2:58
This is the network that did that just It's just
3:00
disconnected. So then I went back to the other one
3:05
and then you were bitching because it doesn't work. And
3:08
so I'm back on it again, but this happened once
3:10
before. Yeah? Yeah, a couple months ago. I can recall
3:14
this happening a lot. In the history of the show,
3:18
it has happened many, many, many, many times. I'm talking
3:21
about the specific, specific thing. Yes. But considering you're in
3:27
Silicon Valley's backyard, you would think that you could get...
3:30
No, well, that's because it's overused. Everybody's on the... Everyone's
3:33
on the networks. Everyone's on the AI. Oh! I'd be
3:36
better off in Iowa. All for... Yes, the quad screen
3:39
is finally filled up. with General Scott Besant. Oh, yeah.
3:44
You want to put them on? Yeah, I could probably
3:46
do that. Let's see. You know he's not going to
3:50
be any good. Yes, you do. Let's see. TV dot.
3:55
These two halting. Halting is his style. Yeah, but I-
4:00
it's- It's not a great style. No, it's not. You
4:04
know, again, as I said before you cut off, it
4:06
would be great if he did campy gay stuff. That
4:09
would be fantastic. Yeah, he's not going to do that.
4:10
That would be fantastic. Let's see what he has to
4:12
say. Come on in, General. On the other side of
4:14
this, the gasoline prices will follow. Is there something on
4:18
the table? Sorry? Is there an agreement? They're running the
4:20
table with him. The teams have been going back and
4:24
forth and President Trump has made it very clear, he
4:27
talked about it at the cabinet meeting, that... He's wearing
4:30
a blue swatch watch. Wrong! Iran has to turn over
4:35
their highly enriched uranium. They cannot pursue a nuclear weapon.
4:39
And the Strait of Hormuz. Your question of energy has
4:43
to free transit. Oh, he's dying. Navigation of the seas
4:46
has to be free transit. He's dying. He's dying. As
4:48
it was before. He can't do it. He's not going
4:50
to take a bad deal. Of course not. We knew
4:52
this before he started. Oh, now they're going nuts. Piling
4:58
on. How long until we see your signature? next to
5:04
President Trump's face on a $250 bill. Well, again, as
5:11
Treasury Secretary, I have two mandates for U.S. currency. Oh,
5:15
he's dying a thousand deaths. By the way, I just
5:18
noticed. He has this... His mouth? in an odd way
5:25
resembles that of Elizabeth Warren. I have to see pictures
5:31
now. You gotta take a look at it. It's, uh...
5:33
Trump could be... Oh, he's boring! Oh no, there's only
5:37
one thing worse than not having the answers, is being
5:40
boring. Yeah, he's no good at this. Give him the
5:43
hook. I mean, he's only fair when he's unfaced the
5:47
nation. Trump should come out now and say, Besson, you're
5:49
fired. That would be perfect for this. You're no good.
5:54
You failed the screen test. Goodness gracious. So I was-
6:00
Who'll be next? You'll get- I can only tell you
6:01
who's going to be next. Rubio. Exactly. Of course. And
6:05
Rubio's going to name, well, he may be, I don't
6:08
know, he may be too serious. No, I don't think
6:09
so. I think Rubio, who is a performer. Yeah. We'll
6:14
kick ass. He'll do jokes, he'll do shtick. If he
6:18
dances, extra points. Now, you've been about him, about Besson
6:24
doing some gay material. It would be better if he
6:27
came out kind of as a Rip Taylor type guy,
6:30
wearing a flamboyant outfit and then doing prop comedy. More
6:36
like Carrot Top. Well, Reptile is a brilliant... the progenitor
6:41
of Carrot Top. Yeah, but nobody in the universe knows
6:44
Rip Taylor anymore. Nobody. And Rip Taylor should throw confetti
6:49
in the air. That'd be a good bit. you Oh
6:53
my goodness. Oh, now he's showing the app. He's showing
6:57
the app. Oh no. Yeah, this was... Give him the
7:00
hook. This was the, you know, I actually have the,
7:03
I think I have it. Get that dancing guy out
7:04
there and have him pull him off. Here's a clip
7:07
about the app. And starting today, parents who set up
7:09
Trump accounts for their children can download a new app
7:13
to manage the account. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says six
7:16
million children are already signed up for the IRA-style savings
7:20
accounts. Parents and loved ones can contribute up to $5,000
7:25
a year into the account. For children born in 2025
7:27
through 2028, the federal government will donate an additional $1,000.
7:34
The accounts don't officially open for investment until July 4th.
7:39
You know, the thing with... It's really too bad. I
7:44
mean, and I really, I'm a big Scott Besson fan.
7:47
And he has done some great snide jokes when he
7:50
was at the World Economic Forum. He kind of lays
7:53
into him. But this is not his wheelhouse. And this
7:55
app, he should just say, girlfriend, let me tell you
7:57
about this app. I mean, just throw in a girlfriend.
8:00
Anything. Anything but this. You can't use it. You could
8:02
never do that. That would never happen. I know. I'm
8:05
just trying to help him out. The press corps. I
8:08
think throwing the confetti in the air would do it.
8:11
How's that for an answer? So I was thinking about
8:16
AI and stuff and how it's changed production. How it's
8:21
changed our lives, how it's changed the art, how it's
8:23
changed the end of show mixes. one of our producers
8:28
reminded me, you know, Ebola, Ebola has been in our
8:32
lives several times. I think it was two previous times
8:37
we've had Ebola pop up and be scary and the
8:40
media being filled with it. I think it's two in
8:43
the past 18 years. Yeah, this is what you do.
8:45
This is the third time. And I'm reminded about how
8:50
creative everybody was. So I put together a short little
8:54
medley. And in the black trunks, weighing in at over
9:00
3,000 troops, the ISIS. Come from Africa, New York. I'll
9:42
tell you this, if Ebola breaks out in the United
9:44
States, I'm going to quarantine myself. I'm wearing a mask,
9:48
I've already got it in place for my family. Yeah,
9:52
I'm freaking out. Don't catch it. Don't catch it. Yeah.
10:03
Yeah, remember how good those were? Yeah, that was the,
10:11
we had an era where everybody was weird El Yankovic.
10:15
Yeah. And they could do these parody songs, and the
10:19
AI won't do that. It can't. In fact, if you
10:22
try to do a parody song, it won't do it.
10:25
No, it's not allowed because God forbid. Yeah, because it's,
10:29
you know, because it's legal, but it's probably going to
10:33
get. thought of as illegal by the stupid AI. Yes,
10:38
even me just playing that will get this episode removed
10:41
from Spotify. Probably. No, not even probably. Even though there's
10:45
not one thing there that was remotely a copyright violation.
10:49
Nothing. Let's check in with Ebola real quick. There are
10:52
growing concerns around the globe about the Ebola outbreak in
10:55
Central Africa. The World Health Organization saying the epidemic is
10:59
outpacing their efforts. ABC's Reena Roy has more. the latest.
11:03
Health officials are racing to contain the rapidly growing Ebola
11:06
outbreak in Central Africa. Just one week after declaring Ebola
11:11
a global public health emergency, the World Health Organization admitting
11:15
the outbreak is outpacing its efforts. Not only is it
11:19
difficult to test for, but right now it's spreading in
11:21
these... Wait a minute! Berks keeps telling us we need
11:24
to test. And now this guy's telling us it's difficult
11:27
to test for? Something's up with that. Health emergency. The
11:32
World Health Organization admitting the outbreak is outpacing its efforts.
11:36
Not only is it difficult to test for, but right
11:39
now it's spreading in these communities faster than health officials
11:41
can keep up. with and it's likely larger than documented.
11:45
The WHO sending supplies to the Democratic Republic of Congo,
11:50
where officials suspect at least 200 people have died from
11:53
the virus. This UN plane bringing protective equipment for health
11:57
workers, medication, and tents for triage. The European Union and
12:02
UNICEF. Tons? Wait. What? There's a half a ton of
12:19
stuff per dead person? 200 dead, 100 tons. They're sending
12:26
100 tons of what? Stuff. Testing gear? PPE. And they're
12:33
required to undergo enhanced screenings, including temperature checks. Enhanced screening.
12:41
Let me take your temperature. What kind of enhanced screening
12:43
is that? Remember during COVID and you go to a
12:47
restaurant and they'd point that thermometer at your head? Well,
12:51
don't you remember pre-COVID during the swine flu? No, SARS.
12:56
And they had every airport had these thermographs as you're
13:00
walking down the airport. Oh, yeah. Remember the thermograph? Thermograph.
13:05
Remember the... Do you remember the thermograph? Yes. Oh yeah,
13:10
and you walk by and oh, oh, you're too hot.
13:13
You're too hot, dude. And they're required to undergo enhanced
13:18
screenings, including temperature checks. Non-citizens are banned from- from traveling
13:22
here at all if they've been to the impacted areas
13:25
in the last three weeks. At least 10 African nations
13:28
have been warned they now have an elevated transmission risk.
13:31
With the FIFA World Cup less than three weeks away,
13:34
fears are growing that the virus could spread beyond Central
13:38
Africa. And now despite the warnings and fears, health officials
13:41
stress that... that the global Ebola threat remains low. Oh,
13:45
it remains low, but hey, play this clip. This is,
13:48
I have the Ebola in the USA clip. The CDC
13:55
sending an urgent request to its staff members for help
13:58
screening Americans returning to the U.S. from Central Africa for
14:02
any potential signs of Ebola. The internal email obtained by
14:06
ABC News and sent by acting CDC director Dr. Jay
14:10
Bhattacharya asking for volunteers to bolster efforts at airports to
14:15
check passengers for symptoms like fever. Bush Intercontinental Airport in
14:19
Houston, Texas, now one of just three entry points. along
14:22
with Virginia's Washington Dulles and Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta for
14:27
U.S. citizens who have been in the Democratic Republic of
14:29
the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the last three
14:33
weeks. Non-Americans are currently banned from entering the country if
14:37
they've recently traveled to those areas. Ebola is suspected to
14:42
have killed more than 200 people. And international aid groups
14:45
say this outbreak could become the deadliest on record. A
14:49
dire scene in the eastern Congo. A baby born to
14:53
a mother infected with Ebola, dying from the disease. Health
14:57
officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than responders can
15:01
contain it. Yeah, we heard that one. One American aid
15:03
worker in the region. That's the... The talking point there.
15:09
Faster than they can contain it. From the disease. Health
15:13
officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than responders can
15:17
contain it. One American aid worker in the region telling
15:20
us doctors are already... stretched thin. Right now we're working
15:24
14, 16 hour days, six, seven days a week. We're
15:26
trying to rotate to get breaks. At least 10 African
15:30
nations bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo now at
15:33
an elevated transmission risk. And David, the request for CDC
15:38
volunteers to help with airport Ebola screenings comes as millions...
15:42
of soccer fans are expected to travel to the U.S.
15:45
in less than three weeks for the World Cup, but
15:47
the CDC insists that the risk of spreading Ebola here
15:51
in the U.S. remains low. They always have this little
15:55
kicker at the end. Every one of these reports. I'd
16:00
say this is, of course, It's ABC, so it's mainstream
16:04
media. All of them, including Fox, are like Democrats. Hey
16:08
man, if we can't screw up Trump in the midterms,
16:11
let's at least screw up world soccer. Yeah, that's all
16:17
they want. I just want to screw stuff up. Yeah,
16:21
they like to screw stuff. I do. I do. They're
16:26
doing a good job. I think they're doing a wonderful
16:27
job of it. Yes. Ha ha ha. Oh man. The
16:34
funny thing is, is that no one's ever upset about
16:37
this. No one's ever upset about these things, about this
16:42
PSYOP. Uh, my Epstein files. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man,
16:47
Epstein-Fels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Since we're going to change topics,
16:54
I have a little interregnum here. Oh, you're using the
16:58
interregnum term. This is something new. This is a... President
17:02
Trump is an interregnum in the liberal world order. So
17:06
you've been affected with the new world order, liberal world
17:10
order talking point interregnum. *ahem* I was unaware of this
17:16
problem. I've never heard you use this word. Well, it's
17:22
a good word. No, it's not. Well, it's not a
17:24
great word. It's not a good word. And I should
17:25
say, I should use, what was the foodie term when
17:27
you had the little piece of... Entremont. An entremont. An
17:31
entremont. Entremont. You have a piece of sherbert. You have
17:35
like a small spoon full of sherbert. Sorbet. I'm sorry.
17:39
Sorbet. Chef has specially prepared this. for you and for
17:43
you only here at the table. Here you go. It's
17:46
one spoonful. What is an interregnum? No, just the thing
17:50
in between, you know. No, I don't think that's true.
17:54
Yes, it's a moment of in-between-ness. Do you mind if
17:58
I ask the book of knowledge for a second? Go
17:59
ahead, ask. A book of knowledge. Give me the definition
18:02
of... interregnum. People like the Book of Knowledge. Yeah, they
18:08
do. Here we go. According to the Book of Knowledge,
18:11
an interregnum is a period when normal government is suspended,
18:14
especially between successive reigns or regimes. It derives from Latin
18:20
meaning between kingdoms. and refers to any interval when there
18:23
is no ruling authority or a temporary gap in leadership.
18:28
Ha, dos. Yeah, exactly what I said. No, it's not
18:32
at all what you said. You used it completely. Yeah,
18:35
it's an in-between. It's specifically in-between kingdoms. Yeah, kingdoms of
18:40
our clips. Oh, okay. Hey, I think I learned something.
18:44
Thank you, Book of Knowledge. I learned something here. Somebody
18:48
said, hey man, you gonna open source that? No. Have
18:53
every stupid podcast in the world using our book of
18:56
knowledge? No way. No. I spent hours on that. All
19:03
right. Interregnum. I love it. It's even better now when
19:06
they say it about Trump. Interregnum. In between kingdoms. So
19:10
he is, by definition, not a king. No kings. No,
19:13
not a king. Oh, not a king. By definition, an
19:15
interregnum, he's not a king. It's in between kingdoms. That's
19:19
a good point. I'm just saying. I think you've got
19:21
to. point there you can slam home as the next
19:27
city council meeting. Okay. I don't know what that has
19:31
to do with it, but thanks. Here we go. This
19:33
is from mid-1960s, about 65, I believe. A little dialogue
19:41
on the series Dragnet. A TV show with Jack Webb.
19:45
Oh, great show. Is that the dum-da-dum-dum? Yep. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum.
19:52
Dum-dum-dum. You've been smoking marijuana? Marijuana's illegal, I know that.
19:57
That's right. For now. In a couple of years, things
19:59
may change when all the kids grow up and start
20:01
wearing ties and going to the polls. Marijuana's gonna be
20:04
like liquor, packaged and taxed and sold right off the
20:07
shelf. I doubt it, Mr. Shipley. Look, I don't mean
20:10
to be disrespectful, but it seems to me there must
20:12
be better things for cops to do than chase down
20:14
wild rumors about something as innocent as marijuana. Why don't
20:17
you go after the big bad guys? The heroin peddlers.
20:20
I won't argue with you about them. They should be
20:22
stopped. That's right. We'd like to put them out of
20:25
business. That's why we're here. What do you mean? We're
20:27
trying to keep them from getting a new customer. There's
20:29
a big difference between marijuana and hard narcotics. Yeah, but
20:32
it's only a small step. And everybody who takes a
20:35
drink is going to be an alcoholic. We know that's
20:37
not true, don't we? Let's face it, we're on opposite
20:39
sides of the fence and there's nothing we can do
20:41
about it. For you, if there's a law against it...
20:44
It's wrong, black and white. I just don't see things
20:46
that way, that's all. Well, you ought to give it
20:47
a try, fella. It might keep you out of jail.
20:49
Maybe, but we'll change the law someday, even though your
20:52
friend here thinks we won't. Believe me, it's a new
20:55
world. Your laws are as outdated as bustles. Laws are
20:58
going to have to be changed to keep pace with
20:59
the new morality. They'll change or we'll have to break
21:02
them. Oh man, the Lear Foundation was already working in
21:06
1960? I don't think there was. No, no. It seems
21:11
unlikely. Is there a Dragnet where they're talking about LGBTQ?
21:15
There probably is. You know, I think somebody's got to
21:18
start data mining the old Dragnet shows. This is kind
21:22
of like. the Simpsons. Predictive, yes, predictive programming. That's very
21:26
interesting. Well, of course, it was the liberal. media hippies
21:30
who were running the show back then even. Because then
21:34
in the 70s, we got All in the Family, and
21:37
we know that Meathead was a dope smoker. Yeah. So.
21:43
Interesting. Well, I can't say that it's bad, but it's
21:47
right down to the packaging and tax. That's interesting. I
21:52
know. It was really great. That's pretty good. I like
21:54
that a lot. Hey, you nailed it on, uh... On
21:59
those teen takeovers. I have some bunch, I have three
22:03
clips of the teen takeovers. And all, not all of
22:07
them, but at least two of them mentioned the idea
22:10
that we've talked about. which is that parents should be
22:13
arrested for these teen punks. Well, yes. I mean, I
22:18
have one or two clips myself. I'd love to hear
22:20
yours because when I heard how these... parents are acting
22:23
in this regard i'm like yeah you're probably right i
22:26
only see two though There's another one. I'll find it.
22:29
It's got a different, it's got the wrong title. Of
22:31
course. What are we starting with? Let's start with the...
22:37
Oh, there should be teen takeover too. Okay. I'm... I'm
22:41
looking for Teen Takeover 1, but let's skip right to
22:44
the Fox. This is from Tampa, Florida. This is the
22:48
Teen Takeover Fox 44. Okay, so there's a new TikTok
22:52
trend. You know, takeovers, going into restaurants, trashing places, meeting
23:00
up, driving crazy. Listen, that's not going to work in
23:04
Polk County. There's a whole lot of laws that not
23:08
only hold juveniles responsible. adults responsible, but parents responsible for
23:15
your children's conduct. to include juvenile curfews. Now summer's coming
23:21
and we will... the kids to have a good time
23:23
and a fun time. They worked hard in the school
23:26
this year. We don't want them to start next year
23:29
with a criminal arrest record. But I'll guarantee you. Who
23:34
is this guy? He's a blowhard. Is he from Dragnet?
23:37
He's the cop. Oh, yeah. He's drag. He's drag. He's
23:43
dragging it. Cool. Tearing up people's businesses. Fighting in the
23:47
streets. We're going to light them up, all of them.
23:51
And then, Mom and Daddy, if you don't hold them
23:54
accountable personally. make sure they're home when they need to
23:59
be, then we're going to come lock you up too.
24:01
or charge you civilly, depending on which laws we can
24:06
plug in. But parents? Hold your children accountable so we
24:10
don't have to. We will hold them accountable if you
24:14
make us, but then we're going to hold you accountable
24:16
too. Think about that. And then have a good summer.
24:21
Why don't you? marinating that for a minute. That's the
24:24
Florida law. We're going to light them up. What, are
24:28
you going to tase them? That's what they need. They
24:30
need to be tased. Well, let me just throw an
24:32
interregnum. This is what happened in Chicago. From day into
24:37
the night, Memorial Day weekend closed out with more teen
24:40
takeovers. In Hyde Park, three people were shot. and several
24:43
arrested. This is not just messing around in Chicago. We
24:46
shoot you. The past couple of years, the so-called teen
24:49
trends have been a thorn in the side for police.
24:52
We need to do everything we can to put a
24:54
stop to these events. And that means giving the police
24:57
all the tools that they could possibly bring to bear.
25:00
City Council's Public Safety Committee Chairman Alderman Brian Hines. Hopkins
25:03
has been trying to give police more tools, like an
25:06
earlier teen curfew, but Mayor Brandon Johnson has been against
25:10
it. Hopkins says as the teen trends continue, more of
25:13
his colleagues are supporting curfews and other measures. It's their
25:17
voters that are calling them and demanding something be done.
25:21
And it's Chicago's police... superintendent demanding something as well. During
25:25
a city club appearance last week, Larry Snelling says it's
25:28
time to stop making excuses for the teenagers who participate.
25:32
And there has to be accountability. The failure here is
25:36
that when we don't put accountability on teenagers because teenagers
25:40
need it more than anybody. Which means having the tools
25:42
to make arrests and there's a growing call from snelling
25:45
alders and the mayor to make parents accountable because the
25:49
teen trends gain steam on social media st savannah's youth
25:52
organizer lamar johnson says many parents are aware and even
25:56
enabled their kids like majority of parents not all but
26:00
majority of these parents know exactly what their teens are
26:03
doing Know where they are. Uber them. Uber them. Take
26:10
them down there. I doubt it. What? in violent behavior.
26:24
Well, censorship. That's how it starts. Yep. I agree. Do
26:29
you agree what? That censorship, it shouldn't be done. No,
26:33
but that's how it started. Oh, it's bad posts. Bad
26:36
posts. Well, I can't find the clip one, but this
26:40
is part two of another series where they talk about
26:43
this. Now, Chicago officials weighing targeting parents with one representative.
26:48
It's the same lady. Proposing charging parents of minors arrested
26:52
at teen takeovers after the city's 10 p.m. curfew with
26:56
contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A Class A
26:59
misdemeanor punishable by up to a $2,500 fine and $300.
27:03
64 days in jail. This strategy of potentially charging parents.
27:07
That's three years. Why don't they say three? Hold on.
27:09
Why'd they say three years? Let me hear it again.
27:12
And 364 days in jail. That's one year. Oh, I'm
27:17
sorry. You're right. Hello? This strategy of potentially charging parents.
27:21
I'm doing math in my head inaccurately. Yes. I mean,
27:24
you're almost Chad GPT accurate. Jail. This strategy of potentially
27:29
charging parents. Do you think it would be effective? I
27:32
think that is a start. We need to have a
27:35
proactive approach from police, whereas they should be monitoring social
27:38
media to establish where these meetups would be occurring. Meetups?
27:43
Wait a minute. It's a meetup. It's a meetup. All
27:46
of a sudden it's a meetup. To establish where these
27:49
meetups would be occurring and place the officers accordingly. One
27:54
idea as desperation to rein in teen takeovers rose. But
27:59
there was stuff like this. We had weird stuff going
28:02
on as kids and we all. Hey, let's go meet
28:04
up there and we get all rowdy. I mean, it's
28:08
really social media that makes it happen. Well, it's social
28:11
media that is drawing more attention to it. When I
28:14
was a kid... Here we go. Okay. You had sit-ins.
28:20
No, when I was a kid... Um... And this, I
28:24
believe, was in the 60s. You'd go to the county
28:27
fair in Pleasanton, Alameda County Fair. And on 4th of
28:31
July... You'd always go on the 4th of July. They
28:35
stopped showing the fireworks on the 4th of July because
28:37
of this. Every 4th of July, year after year after
28:41
year, you could go to the 4th of July. And
28:44
there would be a teen takeover of the fair where
28:48
two rival gangs usually... Yes, gangs, absolutely. Rival gangs would
28:54
come in and start pounding each other. No, no, no,
28:56
they would rumble. Yeah, they'd rumble. This is, by the
29:01
way, the movie... with the musical uh West Side Story.
29:08
West Side Story. The musical West Side Story. was from
29:12
this era. And these kids would come in and you'd
29:16
go just to watch it. Of course you did. It's
29:19
going to be a rumble. Because they never involved you.
29:21
They didn't come and just randomly punch you. and they
29:23
would just go after each other. And they're doing it,
29:25
if you watch the latest videos that come out of
29:28
these teen takeovers, which I think is an interesting, the
29:31
fact that they've coined a term for it, teen takeover.
29:35
And they all use the same term, teen takeover. When
29:38
you see it, it's just two groups battling each other.
29:41
They're not really, you know, you see people holding their
29:43
kids. to the side and you see bystanders but they
29:46
never do anything to the bystanders do you remember during
29:50
obama this was a great piece of history i probably
29:53
don't have the clip During the Obama administration. There was
29:58
an equivalent of kind of a teen takeover. And this
30:02
mom, this... Black mom. comes right up to her kid
30:06
and grabs him by the ear. And do you remember
30:09
this? Like, what are you doing here? And she took,
30:11
and it was... Vaguely. Everybody, everybody was covering this. Mom,
30:17
teen, I wonder. They might have a clip. But anyway,
30:20
so this is not a new phenomenon by any means.
30:23
No. You said this happening in restaurants, which I'm sure,
30:27
you know, they used to be in public events. Yeah.
30:32
And then when the cops would come, it's cops! And
30:34
then we'd all run. And then we'd scatter. Scatter! Yeah,
30:40
this has been going on for the last 50 years.
30:42
Longer. maybe longer. Yeah, I'm sure it goes back to
30:45
the 20s and 30s and longer than that. How about
30:49
the gangs of New York? Yeah, there you go. Basically,
30:52
teen takeovers. Oh well. I like the parents who Uber
30:57
their kids. Hey, go ahead, go to the takeover. Sounds
31:00
like fun. But this is leading. to the arrest of
31:03
parents and I think this is the real trend that
31:06
we're looking at. It's the fuzz, man. The fuzz. Wow!
31:14
Welcome to Boomer Agenda, everybody. I still think we're... I
31:19
think it's great. I think it's great that we know
31:22
all these stories. terms. You could learn something from us.
31:25
Yeah, yeah, especially if you're a Zed. You know, I
31:27
went to a movie screening last night. called Young Washington.
31:34
Is this one of those Christian films that you rush
31:37
to? It is actually. It was produced by the Wonder
31:41
Network. and distributed by Angel. But it's... It's more about
31:46
they're releasing it on July 3rd and it's more intended.
31:50
It's not like, in fact, if anything, there's a lot
31:53
of blowing people up in this movie. But it's interesting
31:57
that you say that. Why do you equate "Young Washington"
32:00
with one of those Christian movies? No, I think that's
32:02
the only thing you go see nowadays. In the theater,
32:05
yeah, probably. Um, But I realize how little I know
32:12
of our own country's history. I didn't really realize. You
32:16
suspect that this was accurate, this movie? Yes. Yeah, I
32:19
think it was pretty accurate. Was it idealized like you'd
32:21
expect? I would expect it. be idealized? Not really. In
32:28
short, it shows that he wanted to be part of
32:30
the British army. This is colonial Virginia. And he can't
32:34
because he's just scum. He's a colonist. Go back to
32:37
your farm, stupid boy. And, uh... And then he, um...
32:45
he gets an assignment, which he was meant to fail
32:48
at, to go and scout out some land in the
32:51
Ohio Valley, and then he finds the French. I didn't
32:54
really realize that the Brits fought the French over the
32:57
Ohio Valley. They're fighting their French over everything. Yeah, but
33:02
it's, I'm telling you, I felt. Like, wow, I'm pretty
33:05
stupid. I didn't really feel that way. These are details
33:09
of history that very few people would know one way
33:11
or the other, and it's not really that important in
33:13
the scheme of things in today's world. How Washington came
33:17
to be and how the uniforms were chosen for the
33:20
militia, it was like the prequel to Star Wars. That's
33:25
what it was good. And a lot of people getting
33:28
blowed up. It was, it was, yeah, it was good.
33:31
I could do without the violence. Oh, pfft. Really? It's
33:38
part of our history, man. That's who we are. We're
33:41
a violent, warring people. We don't want to admit it,
33:45
but we are. This is our roots. We're good at
33:48
it, too, by the way. And we were, in fact...
33:51
George Washington was friends with the Indians. In fact, this
33:54
is interesting because earlier in the conversation, you went on
33:57
about how it'd be cool. You didn't use the word
34:00
cool, but you were implying it. To tase these poor
34:03
kids in the... teen takeover come in there with tasers
34:06
and just electrocute all that which is a violent act
34:11
well i've never seen anyone just shot with one of
34:13
these things they shake a lot well half the people
34:15
just keep walking from what i've seen of these taser
34:17
videos But I didn't. More voltage. I was only trying
34:21
to extrapolate on what the sheriff said about we're going
34:24
to light him up. So I thought that maybe if
34:26
you light them up, that means you're going to electrify
34:28
them. I don't know. Lighten them up. Anyway, it's a
34:31
good movie. When it comes out, I recommend you go
34:33
see it. Yeah, I've seen one movie at a theater
34:38
in the last five years, and that's about it. I
34:41
watched my movies on the video. on the video. Oh,
34:45
really? Do you get your from Blockbuster? Or where do
34:48
you get your video? I get my videos from the
34:52
TV. So let's play. I got some screwball clips here.
34:58
Let's play Whatever Dummies. I was going to go into
35:01
some real news. We've done nothing but screwball, but okay.
35:03
Whatever dummies. What gas do plants absorb from the air?
35:06
Oxygen. What continent is Brazil in? Brazil is in Latin
35:12
America. What continent is Egypt in? Why are you asking
35:17
me these questions? Wait, is this the stupid show where
35:21
these women are all cute and then you- You cut
35:24
four clips of that? I refuse. They're very short. Okay.
35:27
No, wait, wait, stop. Okay, now you know what it
35:30
is. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Here's the man
35:33
who just said, I haven't been to the theater in
35:35
five years. I don't go to the movie theater. I
35:37
sit at home and watch these dipshits on TikTok for
35:41
hours, and you probably emailed me. a copy of this,
35:44
didn't you? I'm sure you did. I haven't looked at
35:46
your emails. No, I did not. Because you hate this
35:49
show. This is the whatever podcast where this guy... This
35:52
is not a show. This is not even a show.
35:54
This is dumb. It's basically this guy, okay, let's just
35:58
do a little background here. This guy who's kind of
36:01
an obnoxious character but he's He has his moments. He's
36:06
good at mugging. And he brings on OnlyFans girls and
36:11
whores. basically and the difference is There's not much difference,
36:17
it turns out. But he brings them on, and then
36:21
they talk about love and sex. And then he goes
36:26
out of his way to prove that they're all idiots
36:28
by asking the simplest of stupid questions, man on the
36:31
street version, and they can't answer anything. Now, you know,
36:37
his show is run as a live six-hour stream every
36:41
day. It's very hard to watch. Which I'm sure you
36:43
are just, you're like... People who watch Candace Owens, you're
36:46
like this for this show. No, no, I can't watch
36:48
this show because it's impossible. Oh, the stream's coming on.
36:50
I can't wait for this thing. You can ridicule me
36:53
all you want. I'm going to. You can mock me.
36:55
Yes. You can do what you think is funny. But
36:57
I'll tell you right now, this show's not watchable. So
37:01
you can only get the clips from it. You've got
37:03
to find someone who knows how to clip the show.
37:05
But the point where they ask these idiotic questions and
37:09
then they can't answer the simplest of questions with. some
37:15
of the dumbest things you've ever heard in your life,
37:17
I think is amusing, especially when these clips are just
37:20
54 seconds, 30 seconds, 47. I mean, these are short.
37:25
I'm not killing it with these long, boring clips. I
37:30
will in a moment. I got long, boring clips coming
37:32
up. So, these are the whatever girls. Let's just play
37:38
two. I'll play two of them and I'll let the
37:39
other two. No, no, no, no. We're playing all four.
37:41
Let's go. Okay, go for it. What continent is Brazil
37:47
in? Brazil is in Latin America. What continent is Egypt
37:53
in? Why are you asking me these questions? We spoke
37:57
about... We spoke about... Wait, sorry. Egypt is where? The
38:00
Middle East. What continent is Japan in? Tokyo. You are
38:05
re-deposing this. There's no way. What country is immediately south
38:09
of the United States? Country? Immediately south of the United
38:13
States? Wisconsin. That's a state. I don't know. I have
38:21
no idea, honestly. I've never been there. Who painted the
38:24
Mona Lisa? Ooh, why do I, Van Gogh? No, that's
38:27
wrong. No, Monet. No, I actually. Monet? Were you about
38:31
to say Monet? Who painted the Mona Lisa? Justin Bieber.
38:36
So. This is interesting because... You kind of... put me
38:42
down for saying that we should learn more about our
38:45
history. And here you are with these. Oh, you're throwing
38:49
my single comment back at you. I'm very sad by
38:53
this. This saddens me. You should be. I'm very sad.
38:57
This is pathetic, especially since these are hardworking girls. Name
39:02
three countries besides the USA. You can't repeat. Africa? Keep
39:08
going. Africa. Africa, Europe, Asia? Barcelona. Barcelona. Okay, that's a
39:17
country. You know, sometimes I'm a bit harsh on the
39:20
workers, but sometimes it's the only option. How many states
39:24
are in the USA? 25, 26. How many planets are
39:26
in our solar system? I don't know. I'm sorry. Seven?
39:32
Well, actually, I'm going to change my mind now. I
39:35
think it's very, I praise the guys who started OnlyFans.
39:40
These women would have been homeless and drug addicts. This
39:44
is- I'm glad they have- That's an interesting take. I
39:47
am glad they have jobs. This is horrible. How many
39:50
letters in the alphabet? 27? Oh, maybe 28? I don't
39:54
know. What ocean is California next to? I don't know.
39:57
Atlantic? If a dozen eggs cost $3, how much is
40:00
each egg? $4? What country is the Panama Canal in?
40:05
I don't know, honestly. Lexi? What country is the what
40:08
the what what? What country is the Panama Canal in?
40:12
I have no clue what that means. Guess. Just throw
40:14
out a country. Spain. Where did the attack on Pearl
40:19
Harbor take place? Pan? What is 100 minus 66? 100
40:24
minus 66. It's very simple. It's 66. Wow, good for
40:37
you. Onward to number three. Number four. is number four.
40:46
Oh, that was three? Yeah, we're at the end. Now
40:48
I'm sad you don't have more. Ha ha! What species
40:54
are we? Uhhhh... The genuis thing? Sorry, what? The... Huh?
41:03
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Almost,
41:05
almost. Homogenious? Homogenious? A little bit homophobic? No, no. They're
41:14
the word close to that. Please don't refer to people
41:18
as homos. What species are we? Humans, then? Well, we
41:23
are humans, but what species are we? Why was I
41:28
the first one? How many states are in the USA?
41:31
52? Do you vote? No. Okay, good. What is the
41:38
capital of the USA? Albany, New York. How many planets
41:44
are in our solar system? You're counting? Seven. Ugh. Well,
41:52
this does bring up an old story. When I entered
41:57
Dutch school in fifth grade, speaking maybe ten words of
42:00
Dutch. But I understood enough to hear the teacher tell
42:05
me, now so this would have been 1974. No, I'm
42:10
sorry, 78. *Cough* And the teacher said, America has 52
42:17
states. I went and I raised my hand. I said,
42:20
no. It says 50 states. And the teacher went. They
42:26
had 50 and then they bought Alaska and Hawaii, you
42:29
stupid American. I may be exaggerating a little bit on
42:32
the last part, but that's how it made me feel.
42:34
I said, no, it's really 50. I remember, now, here
42:38
I was. Young man. And I called up the embassy.
42:46
that day from home and I recorded on a cassette
42:49
recorder and I asked them and they told me I
42:51
was 48 and you know we bought Hawaii and Alaska
42:54
and I took it into school the next day and
42:56
played it and I got kicked out of class Yeah,
42:59
yeah, that would happen. And I think that was when
43:02
I decided I would be a podcaster. This is the
43:05
gig for me. I need to be... You decided something
43:08
at that point because you realized that the system is
43:10
corrupt. Yeah. Yes. There was a lot of good education
43:13
that I got in Dutch school, but that was not
43:16
part of it. Anyway, that was fun. Do you think
43:19
the guy makes any money with that show? How does
43:21
he make money? Does he have a donation segment? No,
43:24
he doesn't. I don't know how he makes money. to
43:26
be honest about it. He's probably running OnlyFans, girls. He
43:30
might be. That's probably what he's doing. This is the
43:34
clip I have from the one girl who's accumulated $32
43:38
million so far in her OnlyFans. business Yeah. I mean,
43:44
that's a business. It's a living, but she probably doesn't
43:47
know how many states are in the union either. It's
43:49
unbelievable. But, you know, again. Yeah. Well, I... What's the
43:54
difference between not knowing that and not knowing that George
43:58
Washington ran into some French dudes back in the day?
44:01
It was a little more than that. It's his backstory.
44:05
It's the back sore. It's an important back sore. I
44:08
thought it was good. Yeah, okay. Well, I'm not going
44:11
to say it's not a good movie. I'm just saying,
44:13
what's the difference between not knowing some small factoid about
44:16
Washington and not knowing how many... plants there are in
44:20
the solar system. By the way, there's seven. The girls.
44:25
Counting on her hand. I'm sure she was. On her
44:27
fingers since she gets the seven. Third rock from the
44:31
sun is Mars. Moon is too. Third rock from the
44:35
sun. So yesterday, the president did one of his cabinet
44:39
meetings. And I was watching. I was watching the stream,
44:44
but then I was watching the quad screen. screen. And
44:47
the mainstream media does the same thing every single time.
44:50
They show the president's preamble. Then when the secretaries are
44:54
all giving their report, they cut away and then they
44:57
laugh about the president, about dumb he is. And I'll
45:00
be honest, he went on for 10 minutes about the.
45:04
reflecting pool in front of the Washington Monument. Oh, and
45:07
the color of the water and the rest of it.
45:09
He went on and on and how he, you know,
45:11
he's done swimming pools and he got his guys and
45:15
now... He's the right color blue for the paint. From
45:18
a builder's perspective, it was rather interesting. Like, oh, okay,
45:22
I see what you did there. And I'm sure that...
45:23
I haven't been to D.C. in a long time. I'm
45:25
sure a construction guy would have thought it was interesting,
45:28
and that's about it. Yeah, but it was, hey, number
45:33
one rule, talk about what you know about. But it
45:36
just went on and on. And I was like, I
45:38
wish I would have kind of seen this thing before
45:41
he fixed it, because I'm sure it was a piece
45:43
of crap. He was talking about 11 truckloads of trash
45:47
they took out of it. It was leaking. It was
45:50
all oxidized. Nothing was working. So there was, you know,
45:55
anyways, so then they... They'll do that, and then they
46:00
cut back when the press is asking questions, which are
46:02
usually, you That's accurate representation. Yeah, that's about right. And
46:09
then the next day you get reports like this. President
46:12
Trump is adamant that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,
46:14
but exactly how he pulls that off is still an
46:16
open question. The president held a cabinet meeting at the
46:19
White House today where he touched on a wide range
46:21
of topics. But of course, the headline was. Excuse me,
46:25
Iran. And he said talks with the regime are still
46:27
happening. but is leaving the door open to resume fighting
46:30
if necessary. They want very much to make a deal
46:34
so far. They haven't gotten there. We're not satisfied with
46:36
it, but we will be. We will be either that
46:39
or we'll have to just finish the job. They're negotiating
46:42
on fumes. Fumes! So we'll see what happens. Negotiating on
46:47
fumes. I like that phrase. Yeah, I mean, well, so
46:50
did the mainstream media. M5M was all over it. Although
46:53
the phrase is you're running on fumes, but negotiating on
46:58
fumes, maybe in the context of oil is interesting. Yeah.
47:02
We'll see what happens. The president said he doesn't feel
47:05
pressure to strike a deal before voters head to the
47:07
polls in November for the midterms. They thought they were
47:10
going to out-weight me. You know, we'll out-weight him. He's
47:13
got the midterms. I don't care about the midterms. People
47:15
understand that they know that, very simple, Iran cannot have
47:19
a nuclear weapon. I don't care about the midterms. Probably
47:22
true. So that's one version. Then, oh, he said something
47:26
dumb. Oh, and it's a pooper. More breaking news tonight.
47:28
Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking. It's breaking news. I'm telling it's
47:31
breaking news. More breaking news tonight. New American military strikes
47:34
on Iran. That's according to a U.S. official who tells
47:36
us that Iran has set out to... excuse me, have
47:46
struck some new sites at the Iranian-- - Get it
47:48
together, Anderson. - Nearby Iran. The official adding that the
47:51
military also intercepted drones being launched from Iran. Gaps a
47:56
day that saw the president hold a televised cabinet meeting
47:58
during which Iran came up repeatedly. He suggested a deal
48:02
is closed. but also that there's no hurry to reach
48:04
one. Saying pressure from the midterm elections was not a
48:06
concern for him. He threatened as well to, quote, blow
48:09
up Oman, which is an ally of the United States.
48:13
Now we all know what an ally is. Now he's
48:15
going to blow up Oman. of the straightover moves. Iran
48:22
and Oman to control the strait. So we'll have to
48:43
blow them up. They understand that. They'll be fine. Again,
48:47
Oman is an ally, gives access to air bases and
48:50
a port to American forces. And if you think the
48:52
president's statement about blowing up Oman was a slip of
48:54
the tongue, the State Department posted that clip of the
48:57
president making the threat on social media not long after
49:00
he said it. As for Iran, it says 23 vessels.
49:02
So that was the main takeaway everybody had. Oh, he's
49:13
just going to blow up Oman, an ally. And there's
49:19
an ally. Oh, come on, people. It's just a question.
49:25
Quite funny. I think this is... Isn't it rather unique?
49:29
I'm sorry, let me do the Tucker. Isn't it rather
49:31
unique that the president... televises his entire and allows the
49:37
press to be there the entire time. I just want
49:39
to, I don't remember any other president doing that. No,
49:42
but no, it's, it's. not only unique, but he does
49:44
it a lot. Yeah, he does some long ones. He
49:47
actually, that's how he started off. And I said, yeah,
49:50
you know, that is kind of, that is true. That's
49:53
a good point. We have a... A lot of very
49:57
happy people around the table because we're a great team.
50:00
It's been a tremendous period of time. How many times
50:03
have you heard? a CEO of a company do this.
50:05
This is exactly what the Monday morning management meeting was.
50:10
This is like Bloom. It's a high bloom factor. All
50:14
hands. No, it's not all hands. It's the management team.
50:18
You sit down with the management team and you pep
50:20
everybody up. Hey, everybody, it's Monday morning. Okay, in this
50:22
case, it's Wednesday. Monday morning, everybody. We've got a great
50:25
team. All right, we're doing great. Everything's fantastic. Good to
50:28
have y'all here. For our country, and things are going
50:31
very well. A number of jobs. We have more people
50:34
working today than we've ever had before in the history
50:36
of our country. Is that true? No. Well, yeah, I
50:41
guess technically because we have more people than ever before.
50:43
Yes, well then so it's true. More people than ever.
50:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And many other things. Many other things.
50:52
And I have a few words to say to you
50:54
that... I think will be helpful. And last night was
50:57
incredible. Not only Texas, but so many other places. The
51:01
numbers were fantastic. And they've really been that way for...
51:05
A year, if you look, hundreds of people won. And
51:11
almost nobody didn't win. Almost nobody didn't. Who didn't win?
51:16
Which of his primary candidates didn't win? Do you know?
51:20
Not offhand, but there's, I think, one or two. One
51:22
or two. But last night was very... Very powerful. So
51:28
I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the 12th cabinet meeting
51:30
of our administration and we're doing something that no administration's
51:34
ever done. We're always letting the press join us because
51:38
we're very open and transparent. We like the word transparent,
51:41
but we're more transparent than any administration in history. To
51:46
the best of my knowledge, press has never been invited
51:49
ever to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all.
51:53
I believe that to be true. I believe it to
51:56
be true. And the thing is, they don't cover it.
51:58
They don't want you to know what's actually happening. Well,
52:01
it's kind of boring. It's not boring. Why do you
52:04
think it's boring? Well, I've watched these things. Because the
52:08
first one he did, number one. Four hours. Yeah, that
52:11
was boring. It went on and on. And here's the
52:15
thing that's bothersome. And I think one of the reasons
52:18
you don't have these things, I think having the press
52:21
there does serve a purpose. It keeps everybody in line.
52:26
because you don't have anybody. spouting off because they know
52:31
that they're just going to be Next thing to be
52:34
front page in the New York Times. So you can't
52:35
have anybody blowing up or having anything screwy happening in
52:40
the press. It makes it very genteel, which is probably
52:45
what Trump wants. He doesn't want any, you know, because
52:47
you have enough trouble with leakers that he doesn't need
52:51
that aggravation in his cabinet meeting. So he just puts
52:53
the brings the press in. There's not going to be
52:55
any leaking now. Right. But the bothersome thing to me
53:01
is that no one covers it. And yeah, maybe because
53:04
it's boring, but... Like a good CEO, he goes through
53:08
his most. Well, you'd think they'd cover it better than
53:10
they do because they have these press conferences and they're
53:14
asking the questions. The questions are pre-answered in these cabinet
53:18
meetings. Well, that's what I'm saying. They cover. uh the
53:23
president's opening to to be able to okay He said,
53:26
Oman, they're going to blow him up. He's an ally.
53:29
He's dumb. Yeah. Okay, here's my take. I'm a journalist
53:34
and I've got the White House. And I'm thinking, do
53:39
I want to go to this? cabinet meeting and sit
53:42
there for four hours and three hours or whatever the
53:44
hell it is and listen to this crap? I'm going
53:48
to go to the bar. It was only an hour
53:49
and a half. That's too long. So... No, I don't
53:56
want to put the work in. I just don't want
53:58
to do it. I think it's for different reasons. I
54:00
think it's because they don't want to report. So the
54:03
president, like any good CEO, starts with... A report, we
54:06
have had zero illegals come in in the last 12
54:09
months. Murder rate is the lowest. I'm taking the perspective
54:14
of the journalist. I'm going to say the same thing.
54:15
I'm going to say it again. So what? This isn't
54:18
interesting to me. This is not good news. I understand.
54:23
But I'm deconstructing media by showing you what they're not
54:26
doing. Well, they're not doing anything, it seems like. Right.
54:29
So therefore... Did you know that we have the law?
54:32
I'm just going to presume these are true. And the
54:35
fact that no one went out and said, he lied.
54:37
I'm just going to say they're probably true. Lowest murder
54:41
rate in 125 years. Yeah, this seems to be true.
54:44
11,888. Crime and murderers have been removed. Most favored nation
54:51
drug prices. Which I think is, in fact, he was
54:55
mad about this. Under my most favorite nation agreements, this
54:58
is something that I wish the media would talk about
55:01
because to me it's one of the biggest things ever
55:03
to happen in our country. It certainly has to... Medical.
55:08
Anything having to do with medical. Because drug prices, we're
55:11
delivering record-setting discounts on prescription drugs with price differences of
55:16
400, 500, and even 600% at the TrumpRx.gov. Now wait,
55:22
he's going to screw this up himself here. We recently
55:25
added nearly 1,000 low-cost... low-cost generics to the website. So
55:32
we have drugs down 400, 500, 600%. Now you could
55:35
say 80, 90, 70, 60, 50% if you want. There
55:40
are two ways. It depends on the way you ask
55:42
the question. What? Okay. doesn't help himself with that. And
55:47
then he goes into most favored nation drug prices. So
55:51
a pill that costs 10 bucks in London, but 110
55:54
in the US, now it's 20 for everybody. But that's
55:57
a big deal. But of course, they're not going to.
55:59
Of course, again, if you read my current substack column,
56:06
Dvorak.substack. where I talk about... The capture of the media
56:11
by the drug companies. Yes, it was a good piece.
56:14
They're obviously not going to write about this because it
56:16
has anything to do with drug companies. Forget it, it's
56:18
verboten. And then he goes into the Somalis. The Somalians,
56:23
what they've done to Minnesota, the Somalians. The Somalians. Crooked
56:27
as hell. Elon Omar. Crooked as hell. They're all crooks.
56:32
And we got them. We got them. We got them.
56:35
Putting the clamps on. Huh? Omar, she's still kicking. She's
56:41
still doing her thing. No, no. That's an impressive group
56:45
of guys. I was watching that and a couple of
56:50
very strong women too. But I was watching that last
56:53
night. I said, I'm proud of you guys. In two
56:56
months, we've exposed tens of billions of dollars of defrauded
56:59
taxpayer money, prosecuted numerous fraudsters, Todd, and stopped billions of
57:05
suspicious payments, very suspicious. Well, you see, I'm getting reports
57:09
from Todd, from JD. I've never seen anything like it.
57:15
Just hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen, and no
57:20
other administration would do what we're doing. And he goes
57:23
on about that. And then he had a nice moment.
57:25
He thanked Tulsi. Gabbard, who was, she didn't speak. Before
57:28
asking Vice President Vance to speak about these efforts, I
57:31
want to express our tremendous gratitude to our outgoing Director
57:35
of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who's a terrific person, actually.
57:47
Come up with some findings that were pretty good. And
57:52
Tulsi's worked tirelessly to restore trust and focus on the
57:55
intelligence and with the intelligence community. They all respected her.
58:00
And it goes on about all the things she's uncovered
58:02
about Russia, Russia, Russia. And then, you know, for some
58:07
reason, she opened up the JFK, RFK files, and then
58:11
UFO files. I don't think Tulsi had anything to do
58:13
with that. But then the secretary spoke, and they actually
58:17
were quite interesting. Um, I'll skip Vance because, well, actually
58:24
the beginning is kind of... Yes, sir. Well, first of
58:26
all, thank you for your leadership, sir. You always have
58:28
to start with thank you for your leadership. For making
58:31
it possible. I often find in the Fraud Task Force
58:34
that there sometimes are barriers that we need to break
58:36
down, agencies that need to coordinate, and I'll come to
58:38
the president and say, Mr. President, I need your permission
58:40
to do, and he'll say, for what? For the Fraud
58:42
Task Force? And he'll cut me off and say, yes,
58:44
go do it. So the fact that we have dedicated
58:47
presidential leadership is really what's made this possible because it
58:49
does require, we've got great people around the table, but
58:52
sometimes these agencies don't know how to work together at
58:55
the lower level. And that's one of the things we've
58:57
had to turn on and force with the fraud task
58:59
force. So I want to shout out just a few
59:01
all-stars here. Linda at the Department of Education has been
59:04
amazing. finding student loan fraud. You've got people who are
59:07
either illegal aliens or aren't even actually real human beings
59:11
who are getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the
59:13
Department of Education for student loans. You know, so all
59:16
most of these reports are all about fraud. And it's
59:20
it really is unbelievable how much how much I'll never.
59:24
forget my dad once when I brought him into my
59:27
company. We didn't really have a great relationship, but I
59:30
felt bad. So you can get a desk over here.
59:34
not a not a good relationship and my this is
59:38
in holland and my company was in line to get
59:42
a deal with the department of education education. Until we
59:46
found out how fraudulent those guys were. I mean, they
59:49
literally were committing fraud to pay us. I'm like, nah,
59:52
I don't want any part of that. And I had
59:54
to go testify in court later for that because it
59:57
was so messed up. But I remember him saying that.
1:00:00
Then nothing came of it. No, no, no. The that
1:00:03
guy was dismissed. You got. out of government. Oh yeah.
1:00:06
Oh, okay. Something did come out of it. But I'll
1:00:09
never forget my dad, a good company man. He worked
1:00:12
for the U.S. government for many years. He said, this
1:00:16
is great. Once you get on the government teat, it
1:00:19
lasts forever. I'm like, yeah, that's, that's. Yeah, I. I've
1:00:24
heard this ad. Well, I kind of say the same
1:00:27
thing. I think the word teat is what bothered me
1:00:29
the most. Teat, yeah. I'm like, this sucks. I hated
1:00:33
that. It really bothered me. Here's Todd Blanch, our acting
1:00:36
attorney general. I'll just continue to talk about what the
1:00:39
vice president was just talking about. The way that we
1:00:41
are actually, it's one thing to uncover. fraud, which we've
1:00:46
done, and that's part of it, but it's also prosecuting
1:00:49
the bad guys that are doing it and stopping it
1:00:52
from continuing, and that's where you have everybody in this
1:00:55
room has inspector generals, and for many years, these really
1:00:58
hardworking law enforcement members would identify fraud, and nobody did
1:01:02
anything about it. DOJ... prosecuted it but spent a very
1:01:05
little resources on that. So what we've done just in
1:01:08
the past 51 days, over 400 law enforcement actions in
1:01:13
this country related to major fraud. That's search warrants, that's
1:01:16
arrests, that's convictions, that's indictments that are filed. And that's
1:01:20
just 51 days. And it's not just the great prosecutors.
1:01:24
It's the FBI agents, it's DHS and HSI agents, it's
1:01:28
everybody in this room that has inspector generals that are
1:01:30
now, they have been freed up. And it's because of
1:01:34
you, it's because of the vice president saying this is
1:01:36
going to be a priority of what we are going
1:01:38
to do. Not just the Department of Justice, even though
1:01:40
we're the prosecutors that are putting bad guys in jail,
1:01:42
it's also the... the law enforcement at every agency, FBI
1:01:47
and DHS. And so we're already seeing results. And billions
1:01:50
of dollars was given out just very quickly before Biden
1:01:55
left office. Billions and billions were given out. And I
1:01:58
mean, I know of many cases, but one, I don't
1:02:01
know what's happened with it, but I think you're looking
1:02:03
at it. I know Lee was involved in it environmentally.
1:02:06
Stacey Abrams was given $2 billion for an account that
1:02:10
had $103 in it, an environmental fraud. So we heard
1:02:15
about this. We heard about the $2 billion to Stacey
1:02:17
Abrams. Did you ever hear what happened to that? No,
1:02:21
I did not, as far as I can tell, nothing.
1:02:23
So here is Lee Zeldin of the EPA. He gets
1:02:26
to talk. He came right after Todd. Thanks for your
1:02:29
leadership, Mr. President. That was canceled. And they no longer
1:02:33
have access to that $2 billion. Where do I go?
1:02:37
They wanted that money. Go ahead. In fact, it was
1:02:40
over $29 billion that It's now been canceled at EPA.
1:02:45
You told us to make it a priority. Now this
1:02:48
happened as soon as you came in. After the election,
1:02:50
before your inauguration, they were caught on video saying that
1:02:56
they were rushing to get billions of dollars out the
1:02:58
door before you're swearing in because they were afraid that
1:03:01
once you were sworn in, you were going to stop
1:03:02
it. Well, that part, they were right. We did. So,
1:03:07
I didn't know that. I didn't know that they pulled
1:03:11
that money back. I may have known it. I, you
1:03:15
know, this is the problem. This is the problem. I
1:03:18
didn't know there were 400 arrests. I didn't know any
1:03:22
of this stuff. Why would I? Because they're not reporting
1:03:25
on it. Yeah, why would you? Because they're not going
1:03:26
to tell you. Well, if it was Obama, they would.
1:03:29
It's not. If they tell you, are you going to
1:03:33
vote Democrat? I don't think so. Well, exactly. But Fox
1:03:38
News didn't tell me either. Well, hello. Okay. Just saying.
1:03:44
So then we got Rubio, who had some funny things
1:03:46
to say. Just two quick things I want to touch
1:03:48
upon. One, you touched upon the border and security. Part
1:03:51
of securing our border is dealing with the people that
1:03:54
are in this country unlawfully, many of whom do not
1:03:57
want to go back to the country that they originally
1:03:59
came from for a variety of reasons. Now listen to
1:04:01
this. You can't send them there, or some judge ties
1:04:03
us up. And one of the key things we have
1:04:05
achieved is now 20 countries have signed third country national
1:04:09
agreements, meaning these are safe countries where individuals who refuse
1:04:12
to go back to their country of origin can be
1:04:15
sent to that country instead. We've gotten 20 countries now
1:04:17
around the world who have signed agreements that allow us
1:04:20
to deport people to those places. What often happens when
1:04:23
you... go to the person who's here unlawfully and say,
1:04:26
we're going to send you to this third country, is
1:04:28
all of a sudden they decide they'd rather go back
1:04:30
to their home country. No, man, don't send me to
1:04:32
Nigeria. No, no, I'll go back to Mexico. I promise,
1:04:35
I promise. I'll never do it again. And this is
1:04:39
the one clip that I did see here and there
1:04:41
on the mainstream. By the way, that was a stroke
1:04:43
of genius. to do that, pull that stunt. It's a
1:04:45
great idea. Yeah. Oh, you can't go back to Costa
1:04:49
Rica? Okay. We'll send you to Nairobi. Tanzania. Whatever. Tanzania
1:04:56
or Congo. No, no, no. There's Ebola there. I don't
1:04:59
want to go there. No. I'll go back to Mexico.
1:05:02
I promise. And this got a little bit of play
1:05:05
in the mainstream, Rubio on Cuba. Could I just ask
1:05:07
you, Cuba and Venezuela, what's going on there? Well, interesting.
1:05:11
On Venezuela, that process continues, that three-phase process, you know,
1:05:14
of obviously stabilization, recovery, and transition. I would just say,
1:05:20
just since January 3rd of this year, okay, and I
1:05:22
think... This number's right, and Chris or Doug can correct
1:05:26
me on this, but I think over 10 million barrels
1:05:29
of Venezuelan oil have been delivered to the United States
1:05:31
since the 3rd of January. That doesn't seem like a
1:05:35
lot. 10 million barrels since January? Aren't some of these...
1:05:44
Uh... Middle East countries pumping out 5 million a day?
1:05:50
Yeah. So 10 million in what? Six months? That doesn't
1:05:54
seem like a lot to me. Maybe it's more than
1:05:56
what's coming out of there. But I was like, no,
1:05:59
that's just, that's odd. That industry is being professionalized for
1:06:02
the first time. time ever. It's going to the benefit
1:06:04
of the Venezuelan people. They are selling oil in the
1:06:06
market at market rates. The money's going to an account
1:06:10
in the United States, controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited
1:06:13
by KPMG. I like that. KPMG in the house, people.
1:06:18
And it's for the first time ever the money's not
1:06:19
being stolen. It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan
1:06:22
people. Cuba's in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for
1:06:26
them, it's run by a bunch of incompetent communists. And
1:06:29
being communist is bad. Being an incompetent communist is like
1:06:31
the worst. Okay, Marco. Okay, Marco. Good one. Lubio in
1:06:37
there. The country's been taken over by this company called
1:06:39
Gaisa that basically controls 70% of the... economy. None of
1:06:43
the money in that company goes to help the Cuban
1:06:46
people. I didn't know this. which was set up by
1:06:55
Raul Castro in 1955 and does indeed, according to reports,
1:06:59
control up to 70% of the entire economy. economy, tourism,
1:07:03
retail, finance, infrastructure, like the ports. I'm just going to
1:07:11
give you, just to interrupt you. Yeah. Venezuela oil production.
1:07:16
Yeah. It's around, currently it's up to 893,000 barrels a
1:07:22
day. But it's been as low as... as low as
1:07:27
uh two barrels it's really you have to look at
1:07:30
this chart it was as high as like 3.5 million
1:07:35
barrels a day back in 1970 and it dropped to
1:07:38
as low as She's just next to nothing. thing in
1:07:43
2020. I mean, it's almost the chart is just at
1:07:47
the bottom. It's the number so low you can't even
1:07:51
get it. So it's up, though. That's the idea. It's
1:07:53
up a bit, yeah. It's up, yeah. Hmm. But they're
1:07:57
not produced, they're not anywhere near capacity. I mean, it's
1:08:00
like ridiculous. No, of course not. Which is what Trump's
1:08:04
offering. Let's get back to cranking this stuff out and
1:08:07
then you can make, you know, this woman who runs
1:08:10
the country will be rich without being corrupt. Yes. Although
1:08:15
it's, you know. All right, so then we go to
1:08:20
Doug. Doug, Doug Burgum, he's of the interior. And he
1:08:24
starts to confirm some things about... Alaska. That I've been
1:08:30
looking at the pipeline, the, uh, what is it? The
1:08:33
North slope. And so here he is on the oil,
1:08:37
our own oil. I would, uh, president Trump under your
1:08:39
leadership, uh, we've opened up a lease sales. on public
1:08:44
land. This is land that was put away for the
1:08:46
benefit and the use of the American people, like the
1:08:48
Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The Biden administration had illegally
1:08:53
stopped holding lease sales during their administration. President Trump famously
1:08:58
said, drill, baby, drill, but before you can drill, you've
1:09:00
got to open public lands. I Between the lease sales
1:09:04
that have happened in the Permian, in the Bakken and
1:09:07
on the North Slope, just since January of this year,
1:09:12
it's over $4 billion of revenues come into the Treasury.
1:09:16
That's 13 times more than the Biden administration brought in
1:09:19
on lease sales in the entire four years they're in
1:09:22
the office. in office. Sir, your policies brought that in
1:09:25
in five months. So with that, a lot of excitement,
1:09:28
a lot of activity. Exciting. Very exciting. We also inherited.
1:09:30
All right. So very exciting. Very exciting. Oil, oil, oil.
1:09:34
I actually checked that. because I keep hearing about Alaska.
1:09:37
And he talks about how all these land leases and,
1:09:40
you know, we know that in Alaska. The oil money
1:09:43
goes to the Alaskans. And so that's a piece of
1:09:46
it. A piece, yes. But the same thing is starting
1:09:48
to happen with these public lands. And apparently there's a
1:09:51
backlog of 5,000 or 6,000 land leases for oil drilling.
1:09:55
So I got to talk to the oil baron about
1:09:58
it, who did send me a note this morning and
1:10:00
said, your call on... $60 oil is right. He sent
1:10:04
me some. long analysis. Someone who says it's probably going
1:10:08
to go down to 62. And it won't take much.
1:10:12
It won't take much. So here's they're not, you know,
1:10:15
supposedly Alaskan oil is going to China. I think it
1:10:19
may be, but I don't think it's quite there yet.
1:10:21
This is from CNBC. I want to ask you, Joe
1:10:24
just had some headlines here before we came out of
1:10:26
the commercial break, which is basically that China may have
1:10:29
agreed to buy U.S. oil. What can you tell us
1:10:32
about the China meetings and China's energy purchases from the
1:10:36
United States? Yeah, I mean, 20 years ago, we were
1:10:38
the largest importer of oil and natural gas in the
1:10:41
world. And today. China is the largest importer of oil
1:10:44
and natural gas in the world. So there's a natural
1:10:47
energy trade there. We've sold them, you know, ethane for
1:10:50
petrochemicals and oil on and off through the years. And
1:10:54
I suspect we'll see a growth in their oil imports
1:10:56
from the United States. So you think, you said suspect,
1:10:59
but you think they will be a larger buyer? We
1:11:01
know they're a huge buyer of U.S. LNG, or at
1:11:03
least Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are, China as well.
1:11:07
You think they'll be a bigger buyer of U.S. crude
1:11:10
oil? I do think they will. There's huge interest in
1:11:13
Asian buyers for more oil out of Alaska as well.
1:11:16
You know, now our oil goes out of the Gulf
1:11:18
of Mexico. We'll see more of that going over to
1:11:20
China. But in the not too distant future, we're going
1:11:23
to see more oil coming out of Alaska that's going
1:11:25
to supply our neighbors and friends in Asia as well.
1:11:28
Yeah, that's the pipeline from the North Slope down to
1:11:30
the South. We'll see. And then in the Q&A, there
1:11:33
were only two kind of interesting questions in the Q&A.
1:11:37
This one slipped in. I'm like, oh, I see what's
1:11:39
going to happen here. Are you expecting Congress to pass
1:11:44
a federal gas tax holiday? A gas tax holiday? Well,
1:11:49
it's something we might talk about. Let's see what happens
1:11:51
over the next week, two weeks. A lot of good
1:11:53
things are happening. Gas tax holiday. Well, of course. Of
1:11:57
course you want to do a gas tax holiday right
1:12:00
before the 4th of July. Because that's the date. That's
1:12:05
the day we had gas. He has to have an
1:12:07
announcement. Do you know how much the federal taxes on
1:12:12
gasolina? You'd be surprised how little it is. of the
1:12:22
federal gas tax as a way to give drivers some
1:12:24
relief. Let's go to Morgan Stevens with the fact check
1:12:27
team. So we got to talk about numbers. Let's start
1:12:29
with the federal gas tax. I believe it's just short
1:12:32
of 20 cents per gallon, right? Yeah. The federal gas
1:12:34
tax is 18.4 cents per gallon for regular and 24.4
1:12:40
cents for diesel. Now, do you think that would make
1:12:42
a lot of difference to people if it went down
1:12:44
by basically 20 cents? If it went down by 20
1:12:47
cents? I think to some people. Who chew up a
1:12:52
lot of gas, especially these truckers. Yeah, well, that's even
1:12:56
more on oil. So that may be part of what
1:13:00
he's thinking of doing. And I don't think the president
1:13:03
can do that. I think it has to be an
1:13:04
act of Congress because it's a federal tax. And that
1:13:06
18.4 cents has been there since the 90s. It's been
1:13:11
there forever. I'm surprised they don't jack it up. Well,
1:13:15
in California, I think you have, uh... Almost $2. No,
1:13:19
I'm sorry, 70 cents. 70 cents. of state tax. I
1:13:25
still don't understand how you get to seven bucks a
1:13:27
gallon in California. Well, our blend is very specific to
1:13:30
California. Bad blend, yes. It's a blend that supposedly reduces
1:13:36
smog and it only can be made by a few
1:13:38
refineries. And once those refineries get shut down, down by
1:13:42
California and stupidity, we won't have any gas at all
1:13:45
and then we can ride our bicycles. And then the
1:13:49
final question about the Abraham Accords. One of the things
1:14:02
that will happen is the Strait will open immediately. Immediately.
1:14:06
But it's got to be perfect. I'm not going to
1:14:08
do this. I didn't do this to get a crummy
1:14:10
agreement. The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein
1:14:15
Obama. What a horrible agreement that was. It was a
1:14:18
setback for this country, for the whole world. The Middle
1:14:21
East. No, and we'd like to have the countries we
1:14:24
were talking about with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and the
1:14:28
others, we'd like to have them immediately join the, and
1:14:32
Steve Woodcoff is working on that with Jared and some
1:14:34
others, but we'd like to have them join the Abraham
1:14:36
Accords. It'll be historic if they do it. I think
1:14:40
they owe that to us, to be honest. I think
1:14:42
because that really would be a tremendous sign. And I
1:14:46
think those countries owe it to us. Steve, are you
1:14:50
going to get them to sign? We're definitely pushing it.
1:14:54
I'm not sure. I'm not sure we should make the
1:14:56
deal if they don't sign. You want to know the
1:14:59
truth? If they don't sign to join the Abrahamic courts.
1:15:02
I don't know that we, you know, we have countries
1:15:04
in there already. UAE, great. great countries, bold countries, and
1:15:10
it's turned out to be so good, so effective. And
1:15:15
so we're requesting strongly that they join. It'll be great.
1:15:19
It'll be great for Saudi Arabia. It'll be great for...
1:15:21
guitar and kuwait the whole group he's pushing he's pushing
1:15:25
real hard for it Who knows? Who knows? Crazier things
1:15:29
have happened. And I just listened to this. You know,
1:15:32
it was overall, it was very positive. You know, a
1:15:35
lot of good news about manufacturing and, you know, and
1:15:39
Besson came in and he had nothing but. Great news
1:15:42
to report, of course. And I believe 80% of it
1:15:46
is true. But no one hears this. And so we,
1:15:50
as humans, we love bad news and we love living
1:15:54
in, in anger and we love living in sarcasm. And
1:15:58
it's just, it's too bad because people get so wrapped
1:16:01
up in it. I'll give you a point there for
1:16:04
you talking about the Algos and regarding Massey's so-called affair
1:16:09
with Boebert. I think that people attract these algos and
1:16:14
they just sit in that muck all day. It sucks.
1:16:18
It's no good. It's horrible. I've run into another interesting,
1:16:22
uh, algoat. I don't know what this is about, but
1:16:26
I mentioned it to Mimi and she said, she says,
1:16:28
oh, I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't
1:16:31
seen one of these videos. Okay. Because I have... My,
1:16:36
my, my algos are like... You'll talk about it on
1:16:39
the show, just put them on the algo. So there's
1:16:42
a bunch of Russian shi- Thanks. that keep cropping up,
1:16:47
and there's three of them in particular. I would love
1:16:51
to see your algo, because of course you're getting Russian
1:16:54
chicks after you got the nitwits who don't know how
1:16:56
many planets there are or letters in the alphabet. Your
1:17:02
brain is frying, my friend. So the Russian chicks, there's
1:17:06
a bunch of them, and there's also clips of Putin.
1:17:10
And I think that Putin wants to show up a
1:17:13
little more on TikTok. And it's what a great guy
1:17:17
Putin is, and look at his security people, and he
1:17:19
hands signals, and he does this, and he does that,
1:17:22
and he's got... And there's just... And there's meaningless... drivel
1:17:25
about Putin, about what a great guy he is. The
1:17:27
Russian chicks are all pretty and they have funny stories
1:17:32
about Russia and how depressing it is, but how great
1:17:36
the Russian people are. And there's one Russian girl that's
1:17:40
teaching how to say, cuss in Russian. You want to
1:17:43
know how to cuss somebody out in Russian? And it's
1:17:46
one thing after another. And I think that this is,
1:17:48
I believe there's an intelligence agency behind these. And they
1:17:53
are promoting the idea that we're going to, and this
1:17:57
backs you up, by the way. I don't know why
1:17:58
you're complaining about it. But this backs your theory that
1:18:02
it's Russia, China, United States, and maybe India. It's forming
1:18:06
a new nexus because this is warming people up to
1:18:09
Russia. Yes, and you're right. Add India. Lubio was just
1:18:13
there for the week. Right, he was there just coincidentally.
1:18:17
With his wife. But not coincidentally. Nope. and uh but
1:18:21
this right the russian prop the pro is Oddly pro-Russian,
1:18:25
even though they're cynical girls, they're all very pretty. One
1:18:29
in particular is a beautiful girl. And she's telling us
1:18:32
about, you know, how we should, you know, listen to
1:18:35
the Russian women. It's just crazy stuff. And they're short
1:18:39
and they're on Insta and they're on TikTok. And I've
1:18:43
seen them, you know, they just. kind of crop up.
1:18:45
They also show up on Twitter, but not to an
1:18:48
extreme. And it's just fascinating because you just see it
1:18:52
as an op. It's a psy-op. Maybe, but I think
1:18:58
the algos, you know, whatever you're looking, the algos aren't
1:19:01
all that smart. So, yes, I think it's very easy.
1:19:04
for any agency to promote things and get people who
1:19:09
are already interested in cute women. Could these Russian chicks,
1:19:13
could they name all the planets? Probably, I'm just guessing.
1:19:17
Yeah, you know, they're not dummies. Right, so... You can
1:19:21
see the difference. This is exactly what I'm talking about.
1:19:24
about people are living in this Negative. In America, very
1:19:29
much in America, I just see it everywhere. Sucks, everything's
1:19:34
faking gay. Trump, Epstein. That's all I hear all day
1:19:41
long. But you don't hear any of the good stuff.
1:19:44
And it probably doesn't even matter to them anymore. Hey,
1:19:47
there's no more idiot illegals coming in. Oh, that's good.
1:19:51
Hey, you know, we got a lot of people at
1:19:52
work. Yeah, that's pretty good. Hey, we got a lot
1:19:56
more jobs coming. I talked to one of our kids
1:19:59
here the other day, Parker. I meet with him from
1:20:02
time to time. It's like, I'm thinking about becoming an
1:20:04
HVAC guy. I want to make 200 grand. Where does
1:20:09
he hear it? On this show. Like, that sounds pretty
1:20:11
good to me. We've been talking about it since we
1:20:15
were on the topic of good news. Let's move to
1:20:18
this story. NASA moon base big story. Yeah, buggies and
1:20:24
bases. Everybody, they're back! Take a look at NASA's vision
1:20:28
of a future moon base. Massive. Potentially hundreds of square
1:20:32
miles on the lunar surface. Complete with astronaut living quarters,
1:20:36
lunar rovers, and power stations. With the ultimate goal of
1:20:40
heading to Mars. And we want to be in an
1:20:42
environment where we can learn the skills so that... Astronauts
1:20:46
can go and plant the stars and stripes on Mars
1:20:47
someday. Splashdown confirmed. NASA's moon-based plans come just six weeks
1:20:53
after the Artemis II mission that sent astronauts around the
1:20:56
moon for the first time in 50 years. NASA hopes
1:20:59
to land Artemis IV astronauts on the moon in 2028.
1:21:06
Building a moon base will come in three phases starting
1:21:09
this year, eventually using drones and rovers to scout the
1:21:13
best landing sites near the South Pole. In 2029, they'll
1:21:17
begin assembling the moon base, including solar and nuclear power
1:21:20
systems. Then in 2032, the first astronauts will begin living
1:21:24
and working on the moon. NASA plans to establish a
1:21:37
perimeter around the American base. It's an ambitious timeline and
1:21:42
NASA will need to learn and react fast and... mitigate
1:21:45
the risks including from long-term radiation exposure and micrometeorites that
1:21:51
shower the moon. Now, do you think that this still
1:21:54
inspires young people? this whole moon business? Or is it
1:21:58
more like, hey, man. Get my gas down to three
1:22:02
bucks. That's an interesting question you'd bring up. Let me
1:22:10
contemplate. There's a series of NASA, NASA, NASA. NASA. NASA.
1:22:14
Yes, NASA. NASA clips. NASA has gone farther than anyone
1:22:18
else. Yes, NASA. And so it starts with NASA, Moon
1:22:21
Base, etc. This is an NBC. report and there's this
1:22:26
three parts and it talks about what you know they're
1:22:28
trying to Because Trump wants to defund or not defund,
1:22:33
but to pull back on the NASA funding and give
1:22:35
more of it to Musk. Okay. And so now NBC
1:22:40
is pushing back with this presentation. And NASA Administrator Jerry...
1:22:45
Mr. Administrator, thank you so very much for joining us
1:22:49
tonight. Fascinating timeline on all of this with the first
1:22:52
part of Operation Moonbase. It seems like it's already in
1:22:55
motion and it also seems like the first things first
1:22:58
is... Hold on a second. Could they not come up
1:23:01
with a better operation name than Operation Moonbase? Is that
1:23:06
really all they got? Lame. Yeah, very lame. Well, I'll
1:23:20
tell you, we're off to a really great start, right?
1:23:22
So Artemis 2, just a month and change ago, we
1:23:24
got to watch those. Four amazing astronauts fly around the
1:23:27
moon, bring them back safely home to Earth, reestablish NASA
1:23:30
back in the business of sending astronauts to the lunar
1:23:33
environment. Artemis 3 is going to start stacking this summer,
1:23:36
and then to your point, in parallel, while we're getting
1:23:39
our astronauts ready for that grand return, we're building the
1:23:41
moon base. So today we had some incredible announcements. first
1:23:45
three missions that will go to the moon, uncrewed robotic
1:23:48
ones later this summer. But we also announced two rovers
1:23:51
on the lunar surface that have autonomous and crewed capability.
1:23:55
But this is just the beginning. We're talking about a
1:23:57
$20 billion investment over the next seven years to establish
1:24:01
that enduring presence on the moon, realize its scientific and
1:24:04
economic potential. and master the skills for where we go
1:24:06
next, and where we go next is Mars. Oh, please,
1:24:09
do tell me, what is the scientific and economic potential?
1:24:13
What is it? I have no idea, but I'll tell
1:24:15
you this much. If they're going to spend $20 billion
1:24:18
to put a moon base up, I think we spent
1:24:20
$120 billion for a high-speed rail in California. doesn't even
1:24:25
have one inch of track blade. Well, in that regard...
1:24:28
Maybe we should take some of our money. In that
1:24:31
regard, I think you're right. The money is rather insignificant
1:24:37
in the grand scheme of things. But I can predict
1:24:39
what's going to happen. I can get your calci bets.
1:24:42
I'm going to over-predict after you're done. predicting I'm gonna
1:24:45
meta predict my prediction is Artemis 3 probably, but Artemis
1:24:52
4, when they're actually going to send people to the
1:24:54
moon, blow up. It's going to blow up. It's gonna
1:24:58
be sad, and it's gonna blow up, and it's gonna
1:25:00
be death, and it's gonna be no good. That's my
1:25:03
prediction. Your meta prediction? You're not gonna do Jack. What
1:25:08
do you mean? Nothing blows up, nothing happens. Yak, yak,
1:25:12
yak. They're going to talk, talk, talk. Send a couple
1:25:15
of robots up there and one of them will stop
1:25:19
working and then they won't know what to quite do.
1:25:21
This will just get put off. 2028, they're supposed to
1:25:24
send Artemis up with the people? No. Okay. All right.
1:25:27
NASA 2. If I understand this correctly, you know, extraction
1:25:31
of helium-3, again, that is probably pretty far on the
1:25:33
horizon. But we're talking about nuclear power that may not...
1:25:37
Answering your question. What, what, are they answering my question?
1:25:42
Your question was what are they, what are you talking
1:25:44
about? What are they going to get out of it?
1:25:45
What are we going to extract? Helium-3 So? What is
1:25:51
the cost of extracting helium-3 from the moon? What is
1:25:55
helium-3? I think it's used for, you know. Balloons. Balloons.
1:26:01
It's not used for balloons. For party balloons. No, it
1:26:05
has to do with nuclear power. Why don't you ask.
1:26:07
the book of knowledge to explain it okay i shall
1:26:10
uh book of knowledge what is the use of helium-3
1:26:17
All right, here we go. Book of Knowledge is scribbling
1:26:20
away and looking for answers for us all. According to
1:26:25
the book of knowledge. Helium-3 serves four primary earthly purposes:
1:26:31
Neutron detection for security screening, dilution refrigerators for ultra-low temperature
1:26:37
physics, medical imaging including lung MRI scans, and as potential
1:26:42
fuel for future aneutronic fusion reactors. Listen to this. Nearly
1:26:46
80% of current Helium-3 is used for security purposes worldwide.
1:26:50
For security purposes, for scanning you at the airport. Oh,
1:26:55
wow. I'm so happy we're doing that, Nasa. If I
1:26:58
understand this correctly, you know, extraction of helium-3, again, that
1:27:01
is probably pretty far on the horizon. But we're talking
1:27:04
about nuclear... power that may not have any radioactive fallout.
1:27:09
There's all kinds of things we could do with helium.
1:27:12
Bull crap. Oh, all kinds of fusion. Yeah, here we
1:27:15
go. What do you think sizable amounts of helium-3 would
1:27:19
do to a space economy if we could... Space economy?
1:27:23
All right. How about Earth economy? from the moon. So
1:27:29
Helium-3 has applications for quantum computing and to your point,
1:27:33
for fusion power it can be more... quantum computing everybody
1:27:42
efficient fuel source for it what I will say is
1:27:44
there is helium 3 here on Earth. We can manufacture
1:27:48
it. In fact, a lot of the reactors up north
1:27:50
are capable of doing it. But the question will be,
1:27:53
will there be so much demand that helium 3 from
1:27:56
the lunar surface... Oh, so much demand for quantum computing.
1:27:59
Okay, good night, Nassau. ...actually sparks that lunar economy. Lunar
1:28:05
economy! We don't know. We haven't been there in a
1:28:07
really long time, and we're going back. We're putting a
1:28:10
heck of a demand signal out there. I mean, there's
1:28:12
going to be so many landers and rovers on the
1:28:14
lunar surface. Certainly, we're going to have our astronauts there
1:28:17
infrequently at first until you get to the point where
1:28:19
it may be. Who is this? Is this the guy?
1:28:21
Isn't this a NASA head guy? He's like a lunar.
1:28:25
He is a lunatic. I think they found him in
1:28:28
an insane asylum. An operational base similar to how we
1:28:32
keep a continuous presence in low Earth orbit on the
1:28:34
International Space Station. So there may be a lunar economy,
1:28:37
but what we do know is there is water ice
1:28:39
there, and our astronauts will work with it, again, to
1:28:42
master those skills that are going to be imperative, because
1:28:44
in the not-too-distant future... If we can put astronauts in
1:28:47
the moon, we'll be able to put them on Mars.
1:28:49
The hard part is how do you bring them back?
1:28:51
And manufacturing propellant on the moon is a great place
1:28:54
to figure it out when you're four or five days
1:28:56
away from home and really get good at it before
1:28:59
you send astronauts nine months, a year away from home
1:29:01
on Mars where they're going to have to be incredibly
1:29:04
good at those skills. I'm against all of this. This
1:29:09
is the worst idea ever. Who cares? Open the straights.
1:29:14
Give me $3 gas. Then we can talk about moon
1:29:17
stuff. It's going to be all the lunar economy. Okay.
1:29:22
The price tag that you kicked around at the top
1:29:24
of this conversation. Still 20 billion, but obviously mass drivers
1:29:28
excluded in that, but is that realistic? Nuts. Oh, very
1:29:33
realistic. Oh, absolutely. I mean, if you take a look
1:29:37
at the resources that President Trump has made available between
1:29:39
the Working Family Tax Cut Act, that's a $10 billion
1:29:42
one-time plus up in NASA. I mean, the single biggest.
1:29:45
and supplemental investments since the Kennedy era. A large portion
1:29:50
of that going into exploration, which is putting American astronauts
1:29:53
back on the moon to stay, which is the moon
1:29:56
base. And then I think you take a look at
1:29:57
the 26 appropriations, the president's budget request. We absolutely have
1:30:02
the resources. And not only that, to dial it up,
1:30:05
to get... Get those landers on the moon, get the
1:30:07
rovers there to learn in that unique environment. You're right.
1:30:11
We're not getting people on the moon. We're getting... Way
1:30:15
most on the moon. robots robots okay impress me uh
1:30:21
to inform phase two and phase three to realize that
1:30:24
enduring presence on the on the moon And do all
1:30:26
the other things. All the other things. The International Space
1:30:28
Station. Our astronauts. All the other things. Our X-Plane portfolio.
1:30:31
The orbital economy. What? We went from the lunar economy
1:30:37
to our X, our X plane portfolio, the orbital economy,
1:30:41
the orbital economy, a lot of economies going on. We've
1:30:45
got the space economy, the lunar economy, the orbital economy.
1:30:49
You know, lots of great missions of science and discovery
1:30:53
like Roman and Dragonfly. Roman and Dragonfly? Oh, he's just
1:30:57
throwing out words now. That's the SpaceX stuff. The public
1:31:01
should rightfully have high expectations for what NASA can deliver
1:31:04
with the research. very high expectations sources available we intend
1:31:08
to uh to show them land a dude there. All
1:31:12
right? Show me that. Yeah, and just to put things
1:31:14
in perspective, I mean, $20 billion for a lunar base
1:31:16
here in California. We're still waiting for that link from
1:31:19
L.A. to San Francisco. And that's where we are. $100
1:31:22
billion. NASA, Mr. Joe, Isaacman. Thank you so much for
1:31:26
joining us. Thank you so much for that information. Thank
1:31:29
you. I'm so incredibly happy. I'm so happy about this.
1:31:33
It's great. That's just fantastic. I gotta play an interregnum.
1:31:39
Another one? Wow! No, we're into Regnum 4 today. Have
1:31:44
you seen the- It's a show title. It's in a
1:31:46
regular. Oh, no, I wrote it down. Have you seen
1:31:48
the new Ferrari? The electric one? The doofus looking one?
1:31:53
Yes! I mean, as a kid growing up. You had
1:31:57
your matchbox cars, your Hot Wheels. A Ferrari, that was
1:32:03
like a thing you knew you'd never have. But it
1:32:05
was cool, and you see one driving, like, oh, it's
1:32:08
a Ferrari. You knew which model Ferrari it was. There
1:32:12
goes, yeah. Yeah, you know, and then... There goes an
1:32:14
Enzo. Yeah, an Enzo. Exactly. He's sitting in the middle.
1:32:17
Look at that, the Enzo. And then this thing comes
1:32:20
along. I mean, what a dog. And I got this
1:32:25
report on it, which made so much sense once I
1:32:28
heard about it. It is called the Luce. It is
1:32:31
the first all-electric Ferrari in the numbers. Well, at least
1:32:34
they're impressive. 1,035 horsepower from four electric motors, zero to
1:32:39
60 in 2.5 seconds, five seats, and a starting price,
1:32:43
get ready for it, $600. $40,000. That's the starting price.
1:32:48
But the design, well, as one analyst said, the market
1:32:51
has spoken. Ferrari shares down about 4.5% on concerns that
1:32:55
the Luce will cheapen the brand and add significant costs
1:32:59
that will be hard to recover. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna
1:33:03
telling CNBC that the... Ferrari looks different because EVs are
1:33:07
different. This guy is about to be out of a
1:33:09
job. When you have a new technology, you need to
1:33:11
make sure that that technology is properly represented in the
1:33:17
design. By making it look like a piece of crap.
1:33:20
The design must be different. It's different like stupid. You
1:33:23
have to respect. The different needs, the different wishes of
1:33:27
the clients. So we will have clients, already existing clients
1:33:30
that will take it and some clients that are not
1:33:33
clients today, some people that are not clients today that
1:33:36
will get in our community. Now wait for it. This
1:33:39
is what I was expecting, this part. And it certainly
1:33:42
is different. The Luce was designed with... Johnny Ive. They
1:33:47
let that gay guy design it. You just got clip
1:33:50
of the day for this one. I was like, holy
1:33:54
moly, they didn't do that, did they? Wow, good catch.
1:34:01
No wonder it's a piece of crap. And it's got
1:34:04
gur- it's got- Johnny Ives here. I'm Johnny Ives. I
1:34:08
built the latest Ferrari. I'm Johnny Ives. Looks just like
1:34:11
an iPhone. It even uses the Gorilla Glass or whatever.
1:34:15
And it certainly is different. The Luce was designed with
1:34:18
Johnny Ives. He, of course, being the former Apple design
1:34:21
chief. And much like the iPhone, the Luce's body is
1:34:24
made... Partly from Corning Glass. Corning Glass. What could possibly
1:34:31
go wrong? And guys, a lot of people are concerned
1:34:33
about that Ferrari engine sound that made Ferrari famous where
1:34:36
they're going to do it through an electronic amplification system.
1:34:42
Oh, no. Oh, no. Thomas of all dumb. Rear axle.
1:34:46
amplifies it outside as well as in the cabin. And
1:34:50
Sarah, as you said, we're just going to see how
1:34:52
many people buy the new Luce. Luce. I'm Johnny Ive,
1:34:58
I built the lucha. I didn't know they were going
1:35:01
to put a phony baloney sound effect on it. What's
1:35:05
the point? Exactly. If you've got an electric car, one
1:35:08
of the cool things about them is that they're super
1:35:11
quiet or they make a nice hum. They make some,
1:35:14
you know. Yeah, they hum along. I mean, they just
1:35:17
do what they do. They're electric, but then you make
1:35:19
it sound like a gas engine. Why? Yeah, I know.
1:35:23
There were more fun things this week. Our, uh... socialist
1:35:29
mayor of New York met with the bankers? Yeah, I
1:35:34
saw that. I thought that was kind of interesting. I
1:35:36
have two clips here. Mayor Mamdani spent most of yesterday
1:35:40
afternoon meeting with the folks who helped make New York
1:35:42
City the financial capital of the world to try to
1:35:45
contain that. backlash that you mentioned. Mom Donnie met with
1:35:48
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon at their new headquarters in
1:35:51
Midtown. Mom Donnie's office sharing with Fox Business that the
1:35:54
pair discussed, quote, how the public and private sectors can
1:35:58
collaborate to deliver both excellent public goods and a thriving
1:36:02
city where all New Yorkers can succeed. From J.P. Morgan's
1:36:06
perspective, they said that the meeting was constructive and included
1:36:09
the importance of, quote, keeping the city competitive. JP Morgan
1:36:14
has been signaling with hiring moves that they're more optimistic
1:36:18
about other markets. The firm has reduced their headcount in
1:36:21
New York and now has more employees in Texas than
1:36:25
they do in the Big Apple. That's because we have
1:36:28
a stock exchange opening up here in Texas, in Austin,
1:36:31
actually, I think. Mamdani also met with Goldman Sachs CEO
1:36:34
David Solomon at Gracie Mansion. Neither the city nor Goldman
1:36:38
Sachs has given Fox Business a readout of that meeting.
1:36:41
These talks are the latest efforts by Mamdani to make
1:36:44
nice. with the business community as he continues to push
1:36:47
initiatives like city-run grocery stores and massive tax increases on
1:36:51
second homes. Mamdani has also been meeting with other Wall
1:36:54
Street executives from Bank of America and Blackstone, the world's
1:36:57
largest commercial real estate owner. His office has also reached
1:37:01
out to Citadel founder Ken Griffin, whom Mamdani previously criticized.
1:37:05
publicly over his New York City penthouse with that second
1:37:08
home tax. Citadel telling Fox Business that Griffin welcomes thoughtful,
1:37:12
serious conversations about the policies that can grow the city's
1:37:16
economy and create more opportunities for all New Yorkers and
1:37:19
that, quote, reckless political theater serves no purpose. No meeting
1:37:24
has been announced. yet and there was a a readout
1:37:28
in fact they had a quote from jamie diamond about
1:37:31
this meeting later in the day jp morgan chase ceo
1:37:34
jamie diamond warning progressive left leaders are driving wealth and
1:37:38
business and taxpayers out with their tax the rich agenda
1:37:42
and socialist economic schemes can't demonize success the wall street
1:37:45
to New York's Mayor Mamdani, saying he doesn't care what
1:37:51
the socialist says, They think that somehow being anti-business is
1:37:57
going to help the city. It's not. So we all
1:37:59
want to pay fair taxes. That's not the point. But
1:38:02
at one point, people voted their feet. And there are
1:38:04
a lot of studies that have shown that. All these
1:38:06
people moved out and they're obviously the tax, obviously New
1:38:09
York's booming, so you're not going to see in this
1:38:11
year's taxes, but a lot of people are paying billions
1:38:14
of dollars taxes left. Why do you want that? How
1:38:17
does that help the lower paid person in New York?
1:38:20
Yeah, so it sounds like Jamie Downer was not so
1:38:23
happy with that meeting. And the guy's no good. And...
1:38:27
You know who's back on the scene? Talk about algos.
1:38:32
The one, the only, Pastor Manning from Atla Ministries is
1:38:37
back. Well, he's never gone anywhere. No, but he's never
1:38:41
had anything good enough. I mean, he ran for mayor
1:38:43
and it was kind of funny. But he also turned
1:38:46
on Trump. Yeah. Well, he turns on everybody. Yeah, he
1:38:50
turns on everybody. But I have a clip here where
1:38:53
he talks about Mom Donnie. Well, he'd be good on
1:38:58
this, yeah. Yeah, not kid-friendly, everybody. So I'll give you
1:39:02
a second to... Yeah, put your hands around your children's...
1:39:07
Stick your feet in yours. Are you okay? I'm choking
1:39:10
to death here. Are you all right? I was chewing
1:39:13
on a lozenge. Ah, the lozenge went down the wrong
1:39:16
pipe. Careful with that. Here we go. A woman can't
1:39:20
raise children. You can't raise children with tits. You gotta
1:39:24
have balls. You gotta have a man. And... For a
1:39:28
man to not take responsibility to raise his children ought
1:39:32
to be executed. You have a responsibility before God. And
1:39:36
we don't want to hear that. No, no, dude. We
1:39:41
got the poorest, economically deficient people on the planet. The
1:39:47
other thing is this. Is that when that boy Mondami
1:39:50
came out on the scene? This nigga is a Muslim.
1:39:55
He is a jihadist, if you will, intifada, if you
1:39:59
must, Hamas-supporting, anti-Jesus Muslim. And niggas are talking about he
1:40:05
got a good program. I don't give a damn how
1:40:06
good his program is. He's a Muslim and Jesus is
1:40:10
Lord and I'm voting for him and I ain't telling
1:40:12
nobody else to vote for him. What the hell's wrong
1:40:17
with you? I'm tired of the Democrat Party making bitches
1:40:23
out of our women and pussies out of our men.
1:40:26
I'm tired of it. I'm tired of it. I've had
1:40:28
enough of it! Had enough of it! The man needs
1:40:31
to stand up and be a man! The Reverend never
1:40:35
disappoints. Yeah, I don't know. I think that was disappointing.
1:40:39
It wasn't that disappointing. It wasn't that good. He used
1:40:42
to be funnier. Well, he did have some betters. Not
1:40:45
just a Muslim rant. Anyone can do that. Well, he
1:40:47
was tired of the Democrat Party. Yeah, well, that part
1:40:51
was okay, but he didn't have enough verve. I don't
1:40:55
know. Verve. More verve. Speaking of verve. Well, before you
1:40:59
go there, since you're talking about screwball clips... Mm-hmm. This
1:41:03
is another one. I just want to get another one
1:41:06
of my predictions out of this. the way all right
1:41:08
it's not quite getting there yet but it's gonna happen
1:41:10
this is the drone show mishap clip okay a major
1:41:15
fail at a drone show over the harbor in sydney
1:41:17
australia a thousand drones in the sky almost 90 drones
1:41:20
veering off course dozens plunging into the water no one
1:41:23
was hurt officials say it was caused by a quote
1:41:25
unforeseen change in radio frequency. Am I predicting that somebody's
1:41:31
going to take over one of these drones shows with
1:41:33
a radio control and attack the crowd? Can you imagine
1:41:39
100,000 drones coming at you as you're watching one of
1:41:43
these displays? Yeah, I can actually. Of course you can.
1:41:48
You know hackers and the mentality and somebody's going to
1:41:52
do it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, local news. Texas, local
1:42:00
news. Texas news. uh oh yeah paxton yes paxton your
1:42:05
buddy paxton and by Yeah. And yeah, you wanted to
1:42:09
say something? Ed Cornyn. Yeah, so the runoff is complete.
1:42:14
Cornyn got kicked out. Yeah, sorry, this is an Amy
1:42:17
Goodman clip, a real quick one, though. And in Texas,
1:42:20
the state's Attorney General, Ken Paxton, backed by President Trump,
1:42:24
defeated four-term incumbent... Senator John Cornyn in the Republican Senate
1:42:29
primary runoff Tuesday. Paxton has previously been indicted on charges
1:42:35
of felony securities fraud and was impeached from office on
1:42:39
allegations of bribery, dereliction of duty, obstruction of justice, and
1:42:45
abuse of public trust. Paxton is the first primary challenger
1:42:49
to defeat an incumbent U.S. senator from Texas since at
1:42:53
least 1980. The Republican candidate spent nearly $130 million, making
1:43:00
it the most expensive Senate primary in U.S. history. Paxton
1:43:04
now faces Democratic nominee state. Representative James Tallarico in the
1:43:09
general election in November. Now this is the fight to
1:43:12
watch. This is the interesting one. Tallarico is an interesting
1:43:17
person. He's a screwball isn't he? Yes, he's uh, he's
1:43:23
so he He went to seminary school, so he... he's
1:43:27
a pastor. He says, I don't know. what kind of
1:43:31
seminary school he went to, because he's all about the
1:43:34
LGBTQ and God is a woman, and he said a
1:43:37
lot of interesting things. Right, God's a woman, trans are
1:43:41
the future. Yeah, precisely. All this sort of Texas stuff.
1:43:45
So we're going, yes, well... You know, the Austinites, the
1:43:49
Houstonites, the Dallastonians, they love this guy. Oh, he's a
1:43:53
Christian. Oh, well, he's a Christian. So, you know, and
1:43:56
of course, Paxton is also a Christian. And here's the
1:44:00
line of attack that Tallarico will be using. Democratic Senate
1:44:03
nominee and state representative James Tallarico. Thank you so much.
1:44:07
and welcome back, Tom. Okay, hold on a second. Bye.
1:44:11
I, uh, mea culpa. He said God is non-binary. I'm
1:44:15
sorry. It's so much better than God is a woman.
1:44:18
Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallarico, thank you
1:44:22
so much, and welcome back to Ion Politics. So now
1:44:25
we know you're going to be facing... Republican Ken Paxton
1:44:28
in November. You've wasted no time. You've come right out
1:44:31
and called him the most corrupt politician in the United
1:44:35
States. And I'm wondering how convincing an argument will this
1:44:39
be for voters in this Republican state? Well, I want
1:44:43
us to step back and appreciate the gravity of what
1:44:46
happened last night. The most corrupt politician in America just
1:44:49
became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate right
1:44:53
here in Texas. Three years ago today, Ken Paxton was
1:44:57
impeached by his own party for using his public office,
1:45:02
his position of public trust to enrich himself and his
1:45:06
donors. at our expense. That kind of corruption is the
1:45:11
rot at the core of this broken system. It's why
1:45:15
we can't afford anything. It's why we can't get ahead
1:45:18
no matter how hard we work. For 50 years, billionaire
1:45:22
mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have
1:45:27
rigged this economy against us. They've rigged the political system
1:45:31
against us. And I think in this election, you're going
1:45:34
to see Texans coming together, Democrats, independents and Republicans to
1:45:40
defeat the most corrupt politician in America. And if we
1:45:43
can do that in this race, in this year, in
1:45:45
this state. then I think we can defeat this entire
1:45:48
corrupt system. And that's when we can start to unrig
1:45:51
the economy, start raising our pay, start cutting our taxes
1:45:55
and lowering our costs. He fails at the end, though.
1:45:58
He's like, we got to get, you know, this guy's
1:46:00
corrupt, he's no good. Once we get that guy out,
1:46:03
then all of a sudden we can lower taxes. How
1:46:05
does that make any sense? Those two don't compete, don't
1:46:09
compute. I think it's going to be an interesting race
1:46:11
to watch. I think Tallarico. So I have a question
1:46:14
for you. You're the Texan. Yes. I asked a question
1:46:19
before about Coronin, and I'm asking this. Did anybody do
1:46:25
due diligence? on Paxton. Why did he get picked? And
1:46:31
knighted by Trump. Paxton sounds like a bad guy to
1:46:36
push into this position. I think this is the Christian
1:46:41
vote. As I said before, Paxson is in the faith
1:46:45
office. With Paula White and that whole crowd there, he's
1:46:49
in the West Wing all the time. He's in Trump's
1:46:54
face. He's got Trump's ear. Yes, sir, Mr. President. Yes,
1:46:58
sir, Mr. President. Yes, yes, yes. The lobbyists love him
1:47:02
because the guy is a player. That's why he'll do.
1:47:06
Do whatever Trump tells him to do. I don't think
1:47:10
he's a great guy. at all. No, you've said this
1:47:14
before. Well, I'm answering. Yeah, he's a creep. And he's
1:47:21
done, you know, dumb, nasty things. Well, I don't think
1:47:24
he's a good candidate. Just listening to what you just
1:47:26
said. played. I don't think so either. And I don't
1:47:28
think he was a very good attorney general. In fact,
1:47:31
I think he was a bad attorney general. I will
1:47:33
say Chip Roy did not become attorney general. I'm glad
1:47:36
about that. I didn't like that guy either. I've seen
1:47:38
that guy. I've met him several times. Swarmy. Another guy.
1:47:43
No, I don't like Chipotle. Smarmy? Yeah, smarmy. Smarmy. Schwarmie,
1:47:47
shwarma, whatever. Don't like him. I only have one more,
1:47:52
uh... Sequence here I want to play two clips. This
1:47:56
is to show you how dishonest, surprise, surprise, Ms. Now
1:48:02
is. This is, although I did like the term that
1:48:06
was created here. But they brought in Joe Rogan, and
1:48:09
so I have to stick up for Joe. Donald Trump
1:48:12
not helping his midterm chances either with the thug fund
1:48:16
we are seeing now. I think thug fund is good.
1:48:20
That's a good term. Well, I don't. Well, why is
1:48:24
it a good term? Because I don't like it. It
1:48:26
sticks. It sticks for the Democrats. Yeah. Thug fund? Thug
1:48:30
fund. Yeah, I think it works. What does it refer
1:48:32
to? It doesn't immediately come to... The reason I don't
1:48:36
like it is because it doesn't bring anything to mind.
1:48:39
Okay. Well, I thought it was good. We can disagree.
1:48:41
That's not what the clip is about. Donald Trump not
1:48:44
helping his midterm chances either. With the thug fund, we
1:48:48
are seeing now bipartisan outrage. If you tune out of
1:48:51
the news over the long weekend, it has only been
1:48:53
building since a contentious meeting at the end of the
1:48:56
week. Republicans are upset and other Trump loyalists, including longtime
1:49:00
MAGA allied podcaster Joe Rogan, also speaking out. That is
1:49:04
so crazy. Imagine like, what? He's mega allied all of
1:49:08
a sudden? Oh yeah, oh yeah. But then listen, listen.
1:49:11
So it's about the thug fund. It's about the $1.776
1:49:17
billion. Oh, it's about that money that's going to go
1:49:20
to the people that got screwed by the Jan 6
1:49:23
a-holes. The J6ers. Yes, exactly. And then he brings in
1:49:27
Rogan. Including longtime MAGA Allied podcaster Joe Rogan, also speaking
1:49:31
out. That is so crazy. Imagine like somebody accused you
1:49:34
of murder. Yeah. And it turns out you weren't guilty
1:49:37
of that murder and then you sue them and you
1:49:39
go, you can never prosecute me for murder again. And
1:49:42
then you just go straight Uday Hussain. Yeah. And they're
1:49:45
like, it's cool. This is crazy. Rogan is not feeling
1:49:48
it. Now. I heard that. I'm like, is he even
1:49:53
talking about the same thing? No, of course not. He's
1:49:56
talking about the fact that they had clips in the
1:50:00
last show, which we didn't play, about Trump not getting
1:50:04
prosecuted for IRS offenses. Right. If it was about that,
1:50:09
the clip is disingenuous. I pulled the clip. Didn't Trump
1:50:13
do a lot of, like, stock purchases? He's made a
1:50:17
fortune. He's made a fortune in this term. They made
1:50:19
a settlement with the IRS. I think that's why a
1:50:21
lot of it came out recently. But, like, he can't
1:50:23
be charged with anything. Yeah, they can't be. The latest
1:50:28
thing is that he and his... Kids in this company
1:50:30
cannot be audited. Oh, that's cool. That is cool. That's
1:50:36
my settlement. What was the settlement? What was the IRS
1:50:39
being sued for? What was the accusation? It was for
1:50:43
the leak. the leak of his tax returns. Okay, so
1:50:49
the IRS leaked his tax returns? Yeah, he said they
1:50:52
were reckless and... Yeah, the settlement of his $10 billion
1:50:55
lawsuit. 2018 leak of his tax returns to New York
1:50:59
Times in the U.S. is forever barred and precluded from
1:51:03
examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons. And the Trump Organization's
1:51:08
current tax filings, according to one-page document released Tuesday. That
1:51:11
is so crazy. Imagine, like, somebody accused you of murder.
1:51:14
Yeah. And it turns out you weren't guilty of that
1:51:17
murder. And then you sue them. And you go, you
1:51:19
can never prosecute me for murder again. And then you
1:51:22
just go straight Uday Hussein. So he took a clip
1:51:26
completely. out of context and then joe and i think
1:51:30
was tom segura they actually stumble upon the little bit
1:51:34
that is also not reported about this settlement and they're
1:51:37
like it's cool Yeah, it's fine. Now, here's the only
1:51:41
thing, the detail of that, is part of that settlement
1:51:45
that says that... like the language, that they cannot be
1:51:49
for their current tax filings. Does that mean, though, that
1:51:53
in the future, future filings also fall under that immunity?
1:51:57
Exactly. It's only about previous filings. But everyone makes it
1:52:02
look like, oh, he can never be audited again in
1:52:05
his life and- Yeah. It's a bull. crap yeah yeah
1:52:08
well that's yeah good work media well good work if
1:52:12
you work for the democrats Or people who just hate
1:52:17
Trump. Basically, they've propagated a lie. Yeah, exactly. You know,
1:52:21
and it's the old you are, I am what I
1:52:24
say you are. Precisely. Well, that's why we're here. Yeah,
1:52:31
that's exactly right. If it wasn't for us, nobody would
1:52:33
know anything. Breaking news, yes. How about us going to
1:52:37
Hunter Biden showing up on Candace Owens and the two
1:52:41
of them windbagging? Now, was this a new interview or
1:52:45
was it an old interview? That was unclear to me.
1:52:48
It was unclear to me. Whether it's Butler or Charlie
1:52:52
or these things that... Well, it's definitely after Charlie, so
1:52:58
it's got to be fairly new. Yeah, you're right. So,
1:53:00
glaringly not right. It's almost as if they're just saying...
1:53:03
F you. F you. They're not even trying. I don't
1:53:06
care. You know what? psyops anymore and that's what I
1:53:08
keep saying I'm like it's so disrespectful that we're not
1:53:11
even getting good psyops anymore like we're supposed to believe
1:53:13
he survived four what do we have four assassination attempts
1:53:16
the first president that's ever survived four assassination attempts they
1:53:20
quietly they lie to us about things and make a
1:53:22
big deal and then they make it want to you
1:53:23
know it's going to go away they're going to keep
1:53:25
pretending and telling us that this is a totally normal
1:53:28
grieving widow, okay? No one's buying that. Like, something's just
1:53:32
not right here. Everyone can see that. This is not
1:53:34
how you would react to your husband being shot. And
1:53:37
this sort of just, I'm fine. And two weeks later,
1:53:40
I fully accept the narrative. I have no interest in
1:53:42
anything else. It's over. Let's close it. I forgive him.
1:53:44
Let's move on. You're asking us. to abandon our common
1:53:49
sense and our humanity is what you're asking us to
1:53:51
do. And that kind of seems like where we're at,
1:53:55
like they're insisting on this. And I'm going, where is
1:53:58
this going to go? Because... We're not doing the thing
1:54:01
they want us to do. Like they're just constantly giving
1:54:03
us slop all the time. I mean, even the recent
1:54:05
White House Correspondents Dinner, there was so much. theater to
1:54:08
it after. So much theater. And now it's kind of,
1:54:11
okay, Secret Service maybe shot each other and we're just
1:54:13
going to kind of quietly move on. But Trump needs
1:54:15
a ballroom. Like, that's a normal reaction. Hey, there's a
1:54:17
shooting duck. Hey, we better get that ballroom. By the
1:54:20
way, it's going to cost a billion dollars now. And
1:54:21
by the way, it's not from donors. And by the
1:54:23
way, we're going to do it. Like, it's just like,
1:54:25
it's just the constant. Talk about gaslighting. This has been
1:54:30
just this. We're not even, are we even a year
1:54:33
into Trump's second term? We're a little over a year.
1:54:36
A little over a year into his second term. And
1:54:38
I don't think there's just been... Okay, so what I
1:54:41
understand from this clip is they think that all of
1:54:43
the assassination attempts are fake. And that Erica Kirk killed
1:54:48
her own husband. Yeah. Okay. You got it. You nailed
1:54:52
it. You pulled it right out of a hat. Yeah.
1:54:54
Even my wife. Says, I don't trust Erica. There's something
1:55:00
up with her. There's something up with her. And I
1:55:04
don't go into... We have an agreement about that. It's
1:55:08
like, I'm just not, we're not going to argue about
1:55:11
that. Um... But yeah. All right. And, you know, and
1:55:18
Erica, she was grooming some girl. She's very suspicious. I
1:55:24
think that it's just a... I think there's a market
1:55:27
for this kind of thinking. No kidding. There's a big
1:55:30
market for it. And it's just feeding a market and
1:55:33
it doesn't, and it's basically, I hate to say they're
1:55:37
NPCs, but they're kind of non-playing characters. that are not
1:55:42
important. - No, I disagree on the NPC part. I
1:55:46
think you were right about the first part. There's a
1:55:48
big market for this. See the algos I was talking
1:55:51
about earlier. And people like this. They like to think
1:55:54
this way. It's... It's a lot more fun. I did
1:55:58
it for a long time. This is why people say,
1:56:00
I got a great note the other day. I think
1:56:02
your Texas boomerism and financial security has... Clouded your judgment.
1:56:11
What does that even mean? Well... One, I'm a boomer.
1:56:15
And I'm not, but okay. There you are. Boomer adjacent.
1:56:21
No, you're a boomer. You're millennial and Jason or X-Gen
1:56:25
or whatever it is. Yeah, I'm Gen X. You're X
1:56:28
adjacent. I'm X. I was literally the face of Generation
1:56:31
X, but okay. Three months, three months of boomer territory.
1:56:35
Call me a boomer. That's fine. But the funniest one
1:56:38
is your financial security. What? I look at the road
1:56:44
ahead and like, I'm going to be doing podcasting. for
1:56:46
a long, long time. Why do you think I'm podcasting
1:56:51
when I go away for a weekend to worship Jesus?
1:56:54
Why do you think I'm still podcasting on a Sunday?
1:56:57
Why? Yeah, and a holiday. We're always working holidays. On
1:57:00
a holiday. We're killing ourselves just trying to... Because of
1:57:03
the financial... We're forced into this job. Well, no, and
1:57:07
we're not forced into it, but this is our lot.
1:57:11
Yeah, it's our lot. Same thing. It's what it is.
1:57:14
I believe our lot is being forced into it. It's
1:57:17
just the way I see things. It's our lot, but
1:57:19
we're forced into our lot. Wow. I mean, hey, it...
1:57:26
It's not a bad job, but financial security? No. It's
1:57:30
a good job. It's a good job. We get to
1:57:32
ridicule things and make fun of people. Yeah, it's a
1:57:36
fun job. I get this out of the way. Cars
1:57:37
for Kids now banned in California. You know, I had
1:57:41
this clip too, and you've been carrying it over for
1:57:43
three weeks. Yeah, I know. We knew this. We knew
1:57:48
it years ago. 13 years ago, we knew that this
1:57:51
was a Jewish organization in New Jersey. Yeah, Hasid's from
1:57:55
Brooklyn. That had nothing to do with Cars for Kids.
1:57:58
We're back now with that infamous Cars for Kids commercial.
1:58:01
The jingle that probably just got stuck in your head
1:58:04
the second I said the name. But tonight the music
1:58:07
is stopping in California where a judge has banned the
1:58:10
ads. Steve Patterson explains why. ♪ Morning ♪ That Cars
1:58:19
for Kids jingle. an earworm that lives rent-free in people's
1:58:27
heads. Ours for kids, a business model you don't understand
1:58:30
and a jingle that will haunt you forever. 877 cars
1:58:34
for kids but if you live in california a judge
1:58:38
ruling that the charity has 30 days to pull the
1:58:40
ads from state airways for violating false advertising laws the
1:58:44
lawsuit was filed by bruce pewter ball who donated his
1:58:47
Volvo after he says that melody got to him But
1:58:53
he says he felt misled after learning where the money
1:58:56
actually went. According to testimony from the charity's COO, much
1:59:00
of it goes to a New Jersey-based Jewish organization, which
1:59:03
uses the funds for summer camps. trips to Israel, even
1:59:06
a matchmaking service. He doesn't care that it's going to
1:59:10
Jewish kids. He just wanted to know that because maybe
1:59:13
he wanted to send it to, um... poor disadvantaged kids
1:59:18
in California, which is what he thought the ads were
1:59:22
doing. The judge finding that children, especially needy or under
1:59:25
privileged children were not the exclusive recipients of the donations.
1:59:29
The nonprofit calling the decision deeply flawed, saying it's well
1:59:33
known that we are a Jewish organization and our website
1:59:35
makes it abundantly clear, adding that they plan to appeal.
1:59:40
Steve Patterson, NBC News, Los Angeles. So here's my life.
1:59:46
Here's my life. You bring this clip. I'm praying that
1:59:50
I hope we never have to do play this clip.
1:59:52
I mean, I had the clip and I didn't play
1:59:54
it. You're looking at the rock. This, this. Yes, I
1:59:59
see the clip every single time you're going, he's recycling
2:00:02
the cars for kids clip again. And then, okay, so
2:00:05
then you call. for it. We play it. And what's
2:00:08
the first thing I get? WTF Curry playing the jingle
2:00:12
on the show. It's John's clip. It's not me, people.
2:00:17
This is my life. The best line is that I
2:00:21
donated a car to the Cars for Kids and I
2:00:23
never got a kid. It's not. funny it's a you
2:00:27
this is a horrible way to go into a donation
2:00:31
segment It's probably the worst thing you could ever do
2:00:35
before a donation segment. Well, I'll tell you one thing
2:00:38
it does. It emphasizes something that we don't talk about
2:00:41
much anymore, but we've talked about in the past. Jingles
2:00:44
work. This is true. We have a jingle expert that's
2:00:50
a part of our crew, basically. He's an ancillary. He's
2:00:54
no agenda adjacent. Yes. And jingles work, and we use
2:00:58
them for that reason. Yes, I guess so. Probably do
2:01:06
this. And then just to make sure people know that
2:01:08
jingles work. Is that a jingle? It's the lousiest jingle
2:01:20
we have. Hmm, not very catchy. With that, I want
2:01:24
to thank you for your courage. In the morning to
2:01:25
you, the man who puts... the C in cars for
2:01:27
kids. Say hello to my friend on the other end,
2:01:30
the one and only Mr. John C. Well, in the
2:01:35
morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning,
2:01:37
I'd ship to see Boos from Grand Feet and the
2:01:38
Air Sub. There's no water names and nights out there.
2:01:39
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
2:01:41
Let me count you for a second. *Growls* Wow, 1388.
2:01:46
Low. That's very low. You know what happened? She played
2:01:51
that stupid clip. No, that wasn't it. Everybody ran away.
2:01:56
I can't hear that jingle. It is the worst jingle,
2:01:59
actually, but they work. They work. They work. We are,
2:02:04
um... We are broadcasting. live. We do it every Sunday
2:02:07
and Thursday. You can listen to us on the No
2:02:10
Agenda stream, noagendastream.com. And if you want to find out
2:02:14
how many times we talked about that bogus organization, or
2:02:17
at least the bogus commercial for the organization, go to
2:02:21
bingit.io, noagenda.clipgenie.com, and you can just search. And you'll see
2:02:27
we've been on this for a long time. But somehow,
2:02:31
all of a sudden, the mainstream media, I guess they
2:02:33
weren't, were they not? Spending enough, add buy? Well, the
2:02:38
Carson Kids, I think it was done as a public
2:02:40
service. I don't think there was any payment out. No,
2:02:43
but maybe that they wanted them to step it up
2:02:46
a little bit. Because, you know, they were buying a
2:02:49
lot of airtime at one point. I don't think they
2:02:50
were buying any airtime. I thought those were all PSAs.
2:02:53
Oh, that's a good point. I don't know. Hmm. How
2:02:57
come we can't get a PSA? Because we don't have
2:03:00
any... No agenda for kids. We're not a charity. Oh,
2:03:07
that's right. And for good reason. Because then you can't
2:03:10
talk about politics. according to the Johnson Amendment. You can
2:03:16
listen to it. Now, here's a cool way to listen
2:03:18
to us. Because, you know, people are busy, lots of
2:03:21
stuff going on in your life. However, there are these
2:03:24
modern podcast house. We are, after all, a podcast. You
2:03:27
go to podcastapps.com. You get one of these podcast apps.
2:03:30
And then the modern ones, they know when we're going
2:03:34
live. All of these live shows of no agenda stream,
2:03:37
when they're going live, they send out a special pod
2:03:39
ping and you get a notification in your app, just
2:03:42
like any other notifications. Hey, no agenda is live. You
2:03:45
tap on that. You're listening to show live. Even better,
2:03:47
perhaps. After we publish the show, within 90 seconds, we're
2:03:52
updated on your app, unlike the legacy apps. Yeah, that's
2:03:55
the interesting part to me. Yeah, because some can take
2:03:58
15 minutes, a half hour, an hour. Now, there's this
2:04:02
one app that a lot of people use, Overcast, which
2:04:05
is not... Marco is an interesting guy. He only makes
2:04:10
apps for Apple. And he hates me. Bye-bye. Because he
2:04:18
is very, if you want to talk about woke, the
2:04:21
guy is super woke. I mean, over the hill woke.
2:04:27
Over the top. Is he non-binary? He could be. I
2:04:31
don't know. Probably. But he never liked the idea of,
2:04:36
you know, when we started podcastindex.org, we said... Let me
2:04:41
see. Actually, I should tell you exactly what we said.
2:04:42
What did we put on the website? We put... Hold
2:04:46
on. We had a statement. Here it is. The Podcast
2:04:51
Index is here to preserve, protect, and extend the open,
2:04:54
independent podcast ecosystem. And... At one point we had in
2:05:02
there... freedom of speech. I don't see that on there
2:05:07
anymore. We had that. The whole thing was started because
2:05:12
podcasts were being deplatformed. That's why we started. That's why
2:05:15
Dave Jones and I started it. And he didn't like
2:05:18
that. Oh, your free speech, huh? That's the freeze peach
2:05:25
people. Yes, he's one of the free speech people. Did
2:05:27
the no agenda social, which we both had to bail
2:05:30
out from. Yeah. Ah. I can't remember what the big
2:05:35
deal was. They always used to use the term freeze
2:05:38
speech. So he always has to do things differently. So
2:05:43
instead of, so one of the, we developed a couple
2:05:45
of things with the, with podcast index and with. podcasting
2:05:48
2.0 we developed the chapters and transcripts and with this
2:05:54
25 other ones So. We make transcripts of our show
2:05:59
and we put that in the RSS feed and then
2:06:03
the modern podcast apps pick that up. If you don't
2:06:06
have... transcripts and almost every podcast host now delivers transcripts
2:06:12
along with, you know, your, your files. what Apple started
2:06:17
doing is Apple started making transcripts for podcasts that didn't
2:06:21
have transcripts, which is, you know, okay, that's Apple. They
2:06:24
want to do that. The idea is if I have
2:06:27
my own transcript. my own, then you should take my
2:06:31
transcript. You shouldn't be using your transcript. Would you agree?
2:06:34
Right. Exactly. There's nothing that makes nothing but sense. So
2:06:39
do you think that once Overcast, Marco's app started to
2:06:43
do transcripts, do you think that he would use our
2:06:45
transcript? I'm guessing no. No. And so here's how. The
2:06:52
transcript showed up for our previous show. As the jingle
2:06:58
played... The jingle being... buzzkill in the morning How do
2:07:06
you think that showed now on It shows up fine
2:07:08
in our transcript. How does it show up in the
2:07:11
Overcast transcript? I'm sure it's very poor. Craig Bond and
2:07:16
Boss Kill. What? Yes, exactly. Craig, as in Craig. You're
2:07:23
Craig? Craig Bond. And Bond, you're Craig Bond. Yes, and
2:07:27
you're Boss. kill b-o-s boss kill b-o-s-k-i-l-l yeah use our
2:07:34
transcript marco He's not even listening to this show. No
2:07:39
doubt. Anyway, that's why you want a modern podcast app
2:07:42
that doesn't suck. And we don't have ads. We don't
2:07:47
have ads. I think the Overcast app has ads. The
2:07:51
ads, unless you pay for it. See, you don't get
2:07:53
ads if you don't pay for us. If you don't
2:07:55
pay for us, then that's your own conscience you have
2:07:57
to deal with. All we ask for is value in
2:08:00
exchange for the value we deliver. Now, if you got
2:08:02
no value from it, fine. Why are you listening? If
2:08:05
you did get value. then you should probably consider at
2:08:08
some point sending that value back to the show. It's
2:08:11
a very simple system. We've been living by it for
2:08:13
over 18 years. It's called value for value. Now, you
2:08:17
can deliver that value to us in time, talent, or
2:08:21
treasure. It's kind of, again, a very simple, simple idea.
2:08:26
And... Value comes in many different ways when it comes
2:08:30
to time and talent. Many people will organize meetups. Also
2:08:36
known as, what are they, teen, what is the term?
2:08:43
Teen Takeover. Teen Takeover. No Agenda Takeover. No agenda takeover.
2:08:48
So you can do that. You can help us out
2:08:51
with boots on the ground. Always very helpful, boots on
2:08:54
the ground. And man, lots of people sending Kratom boots
2:08:58
on the ground. Various, various types of feedback. Most of
2:09:01
them saying, I've been chewing those leaves forever. I feel
2:09:04
great. And so I'm like, well, my mom is losing.
2:09:07
but she may be on the synthetic stuff, okay? But
2:09:10
it's all appreciated. We take it all into account. Oh,
2:09:14
one other boots on the ground. I got a boots
2:09:15
on the ground back from our lobbyist about the flavored
2:09:19
vapes. And the CDC guy quitting. Okay. And she tapped
2:09:28
her network in D.C. And indeed. Trump forcing him to
2:09:33
approve the flavored vapes was the reason he quit. That
2:09:37
was the last straw. which seems like an odd hill
2:09:41
to die on. Yeah, I'd say it is an odd
2:09:44
hill to die on. I think he wanted to quit
2:09:46
anyway. I think so too. So we always want to
2:09:52
have a nice piece of art representing the show for
2:09:55
our album art, another thing that we've been using for
2:09:57
a long time. Pretty much from almost the beginning of
2:10:01
the show, ever since the first art generator showed up.
2:10:05
Sir Paul Couture doing that, another great example of value
2:10:07
for value. Actually, it was Couture, no, it was Randy
2:10:09
and the... There was also another guy, Randy. I can't
2:10:14
remember his last name. We lost him. He's overboard. He's
2:10:17
dead. Maybe he's dead. Randy. I can't remember. There was
2:10:21
an original art generator, which is missing. And then it
2:10:24
kind of just... faded and Paul Couture took over and
2:10:28
did a whole new one and now is the king
2:10:31
of the art generator. He is the king. But the
2:10:34
original one still had some pieces that are lost to
2:10:37
time. Oh, no. And then remember drop.io? Yeah, I remember
2:10:42
drop.io. Do you remember? I was... publishing show notes and
2:10:46
art and everything on drop.io. And that was the big
2:10:49
lesson about Silicon Valley. We woke up one morning and,
2:10:52
oh, we've shut it down. We've sold to, I think
2:10:55
it was maybe Facebook. And then all of a sudden
2:10:57
you can't use it. It was gone. All of our
2:10:59
content was gone. That's when we started hosting things ourselves.
2:11:04
Lots of producers have stepped up for that. Anyway, the
2:11:07
artwork, we wanted something very traditional. We typically do that
2:11:10
on days of importance, like Memorial Day. Blue Acorn understood
2:11:15
it perfectly and did this dynamite piece with just an
2:11:19
eagle with his feathers, all like, just very energetic piece.
2:11:23
Like, yeah, don't mess with America. Memorial Day. It was
2:11:27
a beautiful piece, Blue Acorn, and we unanimously decided that's
2:11:32
the one we want. Now, a lot of people took
2:11:35
this to a very strange level because, hey, I can
2:11:38
prompt, why not? And, you know, it's not appropriate to
2:11:41
have thanked the fallen for their courage. No. Ryan M.
2:11:46
Scott? No, that was odd. Very strange. We had Memorial
2:11:52
Day alien combination. No, we're looking for Mother's Day, Christmas,
2:12:00
Easter, Veterans Day, Memorial Day. We're looking for something traditional.
2:12:06
And we got it from Blue Acorn. um We also
2:12:10
learned that, I think, didn't we get an email from
2:12:14
Nesworks? The previous art that we selected was very- Yes,
2:12:19
Ness works in an elaborate email explaining how he uses
2:12:23
Photoshop. Yeah! which we suspected. Yes, that was the flamingo
2:12:27
with the drones. Yeah. Yeah, and how he did it.
2:12:30
And so it was Photoshop. It was good. We love
2:12:33
seeing, and we just chose it because it was a
2:12:35
good piece that proves that it doesn't all have to
2:12:38
be slopped to get chosen. Noagendaartgenerator.com. That is how you
2:12:42
support us with your photographic. and prompting talent, and we
2:12:47
appreciate that. We also thank all of our... Donors, of
2:12:52
course, they're all producers, every single one of you. $50
2:12:56
and above. We will thank everybody under $50 for reasons
2:12:59
of anonymity. And we have a special kudos for people
2:13:04
who are able to. support us with $200 or more.
2:13:07
Not only will we guaranteed read your note, but we
2:13:10
also give you an official Hollywood title, which is the
2:13:12
real deal. You can go to imdb.com. You see thousands
2:13:15
of no agenda producers in there. Some of them are
2:13:17
actual Hollywood big name producers. You get an associate executive
2:13:21
producer credit, $300 or more, an executive producer credit. And
2:13:24
while they last. we have the Red Knight Order of
2:13:26
the Heart still available. We only made 50 of them
2:13:29
available. This is in honor of John still living and
2:13:32
still being with us, which we're very happy about. Not
2:13:35
only will you get your knight ring if you don't
2:13:37
have one already, but you will get a very handsome
2:13:39
red knight pin, and you will be admired by many
2:13:43
at your team takeover, Noah Gennomito. And we start with
2:13:47
$1,002. from Sir Switcheroo, Black Baron of the I-4 Corridor,
2:13:55
Commodore, and he's in Orlando, Florida. And I very much
2:14:00
appreciate it. And he says, ITM, John and Adam, this
2:14:04
order of the heart contributions. signifies my love for you
2:14:07
guys, no homo. John. You have become too agreeable. This
2:14:15
is understandable given what just happened to you. I'm getting
2:14:18
a lot of this feedback from people. I'm apparently becoming
2:14:22
too agreeable. And I'm being, uh... pushed around by you
2:14:26
specifically. Well, who else should push you around? You're like,
2:14:31
you're like becoming a bully. An egregious bully? Mm-hmm. And
2:14:38
I'm supposed to, and I've taken too much of it.
2:14:42
I'm putting up with too much of your means. bullying.
2:14:49
I wish I could come up with a synonym for
2:14:52
bully, but I can't. Let's read the note and see
2:14:55
what he actually says, because your explanation seems a little
2:14:59
over the top. John, you have become too agreeable. This
2:15:03
is understandable given what just happened. happened to you and
2:15:06
I'm not talking about your heart surgery. You can't hide
2:15:09
behind that. You experience an immense outpouring of love after
2:15:14
your absence. This is a well-deserved blessing that must have
2:15:18
moved you. However, for the sake of the show, please
2:15:22
lean into your buzzkill vibe to keep Adam sharp. And
2:15:26
the show's spicy. Adam tried to be nicer to John.
2:15:31
You guys are the best. No jingles, no... Well, you
2:15:35
know... Uh, I can't. John annoys me, uh, often. Uh,
2:15:43
so, I- Never. I- What? What? No, it's not true.
2:15:50
You are not in my head. I'm just saying. I'm
2:15:58
taking a note at face value. So try to be,
2:16:02
I will try to be nicer. I guess an example
2:16:07
of that would be me complaining about you bringing dumb
2:16:11
women clips onto the show. I love the dumb women.
2:16:14
Was I not nice? I'm just trying to keep people
2:16:17
listening to the show is what I'm trying to do.
2:16:19
I'm trying to help the show. And we should mention
2:16:23
something as an aside. I don't want to change the
2:16:25
subject. should have been brought up earlier in the show.
2:16:30
We now have an official No Agenda Podcast Insta account.
2:16:34
Insta? No agenda podcast. It's Adam and John are the
2:16:41
proprietors. I'm not. We need a thousand, a couple thousand
2:16:45
people. Subscribe to this thing so it's a no agenda
2:16:49
podcast, all one word. Instagram. Uh... So I've been kicked
2:16:57
off Instagram. What? Yeah. My account, which I only use
2:17:03
to check in on my daughter and, you know. like
2:17:06
post a picture on her birthday, Adam C. 1999. um
2:17:12
I was told when I went to log in, Bill,
2:17:16
you need to log in from a device that has
2:17:20
had the app used with Instagram before. Well, I've never
2:17:24
used the Instagram app. So, okay, I install the Instagram
2:17:29
app, log in, it says no. No! But I mean,
2:17:34
it'll send an email to my email address and say,
2:17:36
yeah, you can't reset your password or even log in
2:17:40
until. You prove that you are Adam by logging in
2:17:45
in the app. on a device that has been used
2:17:47
for Instagram before. So I'm in a hole. I can't
2:17:50
get out. I can't get in. I can't even see
2:17:52
our own Instagram account. Well, you're there. I just searched
2:17:56
you, Adam. I'm there, but I can't log into my
2:18:00
account. So whenever someone sends me an Instagram... link I
2:18:07
can click on it says install the app or continue
2:18:10
on the web I continue on the web and then
2:18:13
seven times out of ten I can see it and
2:18:15
then it says log in. I'm stuck. I cannot get
2:18:19
into my Instagram. Well, I'm looking at your posts. Yeah.
2:18:24
I think this is a benefit. to society. And I'm
2:18:32
supposed to be nice to you. I'm just saying. I
2:18:36
don't post. What is the last... There are tons of
2:18:40
posts on here. What's the last post I made? You
2:18:43
got a picture of Christina. Yes, exactly what I just
2:18:46
said. Happy birthday. Well, there's one and there's a picture
2:18:49
of you and there's a picture of a horse. And
2:18:52
then there's a, you don't post that much. No, I
2:18:55
don't ever. I just said that. See, here you go,
2:18:59
annoying me again. Well, I did now. So what difference
2:19:01
does it make whether you post a lot or not?
2:19:03
I can't even see the No Agenda podcast Instagram. Grammy,
2:19:06
you just said we're the proprietors of it. I'm not.
2:19:09
I'm not, I can't even get on Instagram. I'll give
2:19:12
you a password for you can do the no agenda
2:19:14
podcast. I want my own account back so I can
2:19:18
promote the no agenda podcast account. I don't understand why
2:19:21
you can't. This doesn't make any sense. It's never happened
2:19:25
to anybody. Can somebody help him? It happens to lots
2:19:28
of people. These things happen all the time. People get
2:19:32
locked out of Google. It happens all the time. This
2:19:35
is the Silicon Valley model. We don't trust you. I
2:19:37
got locked out of Twitter the other day. Yeah, well,
2:19:39
you got banned. And then it put me on some
2:19:41
old account I started as a joke. And then I
2:19:45
couldn't get out of it. Because you can't log out.
2:19:49
Sir Switcheroo, Black Baron of the I-4 Corridor, Commodore in
2:19:52
Orlando, thank you very much. You will be a red
2:19:55
knight today. We appreciate it. Dame Cece in Greensboro, Georgia.

nice. Ian Cummings is in Kingsville, Texas, $450. We appreciate
2:20:18

2:20:20
Thank you so much. And he says, this is a
2:20:21
donation towards my father, Timothy's knighthood, as he undergoes intensive
2:20:26
chemo for Rick. transformation lymphoma. I don't know what it
2:20:30
is, but it doesn't sound good. Doesn't sound good. He
2:20:33
is 75 and has been hit in remission for leukemia
2:20:36
for years before this bout of cancer hit him. I
2:20:39
plan to get him knighted before he passes, but hopefully
2:20:42
he lives longer. I think we should give him an
2:20:44
F cancer is what I'm going to do. Yeah, definitely.
2:20:50
You've got karma. That sucks. uh louis ruiz in portage
2:21:01
Indiana? Uh... This is he- How come the Texas and
2:21:08
U.S. are reversed on? on these guys it's the same
2:21:12
thing same thing with com what are you talking about
2:21:14
well normally they The second thing is usually the country.
2:21:19
It's like Dame Cece, Greensboro, Georgia, U.S. They're all the
2:21:22
same. No, then I got Kingsville, U.S., Texas. Oh, I
2:21:26
have Kingsville, Texas, U.S. I wonder why mine is backwards.
2:21:33
I'm trying to be nice to you, so I'll say,
2:21:36
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, how is it possible?
2:21:40
340-375-ITM, John and Adam, thank you for the show. I
2:21:44
look forward to it every Sunday and Thursday. It helps
2:21:47
make me... It helps make the miles go by faster.

Ah, guy in a car. No. I said, John, a
2:21:52

2:21:57

2:23:55
from Nashville. And have you ever had this on the
2:23:58
plane where all of a sudden you just get this
2:24:01
neck pain on one side that goes from the top
2:24:04
of your head almost down your neck? down to your
2:24:08
shoulder and no matter what you do you can't fix
2:24:11
it You stretch, you move, you try to reposition. Have
2:24:15
you ever had that? I probably, but I don't, I
2:24:18
can't recall. Not in a plane necessarily. I was miserable.
2:24:21
We're in the car. We had to drive back from
2:24:23
Austin. So I was just miserable. I come home, I'm
2:24:28
like... I'm getting, I put the Manuka Gold Relief Gel
2:24:31
on it. I don't know what, it doesn't work the
2:24:34
same way for Tina. It worked a little bit for
2:24:37
her, but man, I tell you, within... five minutes that
2:24:41
was gone i don't know what this stuff is well
2:24:44
i do it's honey But that and the burn cream
2:24:50
are now in my kit forever. I'm never leaving home
2:24:53
without it. We need a smaller vessel. a smaller thing
2:24:58
that I can take with us. The container's too big.
2:25:02
I'm doing product development here. I guess. Thank you, Dennis.

good morning gentlemen or good morrow Thank you for your
2:26:07
courage and all you do to help everyone's sanity. John,
2:26:12
glad you're well. And if I don't take care of
2:26:15
myself, I'll end up in the same boat. My grandpa
2:26:19
had a five-way bypass. That's the big one. Letterman had
2:26:24
five-way. That's a biggie. Letterman had five waiting. He was
2:26:28
back to work. Yes, you've mentioned this several times. Yeah,
2:26:33
I know. It's galling. And you're still living with your
2:26:35
kid. Why? It's because they're re... The house is being
2:26:40
remodeled. Are you getting one of those chairs that you
2:26:44
sit in to take you up the stairs? Oh yeah,
2:26:47
sure. Those are cool. I can jog up the stairs
2:26:51
now. It's not a big deal. Oh, okay. Then you
2:26:53
can do help with the remodeling. Oh, please. My grandpa
2:26:57
had a five-way bypass. My dad had a three-way bypass
2:27:01
at 45. That's... See, the difference is I... That's nothing.
2:27:06
The main difference is that I'm on Medicare. Yeah, how
2:27:11
much, did you ever get the bill for that thing?
2:27:14
Yeah, we'll talk about the bill in the future. Okay.
2:27:18
Because I have more anecdotes. So I'm probably looking at
2:27:22
a one-way bypass in my future, not necessarily. Magnesium, my
2:27:27
friend, magnesium. My dad jokes around and calls the scar
2:27:31
on the chest our family crest. It's called a zipper
2:27:34
scar. Shout out to my beautiful and talented daughter, Marley.
2:27:39
Today is her high school graduation. So crazy being a
2:27:42

I want to tell the people over at the Dojendafan,
2:29:07
and I'm going to mention this again at tip of
2:29:09
the day moment because a lot of people won't listen
2:29:11
to this segment. It's the badia, no added salt version,
2:29:16
not the regular badia. I got note after note, "I've
2:29:20
got to look at this thing, it's filled with salt,
2:29:23
what are you trying to kill me?" It's the no
2:29:28
added salt badia. Noted. Please make changes as necessary. Picked
2:29:36
up some body. And by the way, the other stuff
2:29:38
is good too, but if you don't care. I grilled
2:29:41
up some pork chops over Memorial Day. You may be...
2:29:44
off the salt but happy to hear you're back on

2:33:46
James. I think he had a red heart donation. Am
2:33:48
I correct? Uh, maybe. I think so. Uh, celebration of
2:33:52
John. My father had, yeah, so this is a make
2:33:55
good. My father had the surgery and lived a vibrant
2:33:57
life afterwards. Sounds like he's not with us anymore. I'm
2:34:00
sure John will be renewed with strength and his famous
2:34:03
fighting spirit soon. Well, apparently he's gone. He's gone weak.
2:34:06
I've gone soft. Also, I'm wishing both of you and
2:34:09
all of Gitmo Nation a very happy Memorial Day week
2:34:11
as we move forward to celebrate our 250th year of
2:34:14
the Declaration of Independence. I pray the celebration reignites our
2:34:18
patriotism that is badly needed for our country. Yes, go
2:34:21
and see young Washington. That'll get your spark going. This
2:34:25
donation moves me to the level of Earl. I would
2:34:27
like to be known as Sir Vincent, Earl of the
2:34:29
Rocket City, protector of the GCC. That's the Gulf Coast
2:34:33
Counties, Countries, I think it should be. Take care and
2:34:36
God bless Sir Vincent. Okay, we've got that noted. Title
2:34:40
change is on deck. And I also would like to
2:34:43
give a shout out to No Agenda Shop. They have
2:34:47
this, you know, they've had, they're very busy. They're trying
2:34:50
to keep their heads above water. The No Agenda Shop
2:34:53
has been with us for a long, long time. And
2:34:55
they have the No Agenda Shop sticker club. And I
2:35:00
received, they put me on the sticker club. I received
2:35:02
the stickers. They're really cool. And we've been a big
2:35:05
proponent of stickers. I don't think toll booths work anymore
2:35:09
because now we have the E-ZPass and so you can
2:35:11
just kind of blow through them. There's still a few
2:35:13
toll booths here and there. Yeah, but you can put
2:35:16
these stickers anywhere. I know you can't. Put them on
2:35:19
cop cars, all kinds of great places. Put them on
2:35:21
your laptop. People love the stickers on their laptops. I
2:35:24
advise against putting them on a cop car that's not
2:35:26
a good idea what am i thinking uh but thank
2:35:29
you very much no agenda shop noagendashop.com and thank you
2:35:33
all for supporting no agenda noagendadonations.com that is where you

act together and all listen to the No Agenda podcast.
2:42:37
A little long, but... Sounds very close. Very close. It's
2:42:42
close. It's not great. Not great, no. And then we
2:42:45
have... This is Morgan Freeman. I just love these two
2:42:48
guys and this podcast. He doesn't say no agenda. Could
2:42:56
have been any podcast. This will be stolen by other
2:42:58
podcasters and be like, Hey, look what Morgan Freeman said
2:43:01
about our podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really good. Just
2:43:04
love. these two guys and this podcast. And there's some
2:43:09
kind of weird edit in there. No, I think Peterson
2:43:11
No, no, that was him. That was part of the
2:43:13
voice. Well, it's no good. It's no good. We're going
2:43:16
to use Peterson. Peterson is good. I like Peterson. He's
2:43:19
long, but it's good. We'll use him, but we will
2:43:21
use him after we do John C. Dvorak's tip of
2:43:24
the day. ♪ It's for you and me ♪ Just
2:43:29
the tip with JCB And sometimes, Adam. Okay, first of
2:43:35
all, for the people that are documenting these tips, the
2:43:38
last tip was not mentioned that the badia that I'm
2:43:42
talking about has no salt, there's no added salt. salt
2:43:45
is a special version. You just said that. I know,
2:43:49
I'm repeating it because people don't listen to the donation
2:43:51
segment. Oh, they just tune in for the tip of
2:43:53
the day? They don't listen to this either, but it's
2:43:56
beside the point. I'm making it clear. And so please
2:44:02
make that correct. There's another correction involving that tip. is
2:44:05
that you can't get it in a big giant bottle.
2:44:08
It's only a small pack. Tiny pack. Tiny pack. All
2:44:11
right. No, that's good. I'm excited. I have ordered. I'm
2:44:15
excited to try it. It's a correction. Okay. So today's
2:44:20
tip of the day. is now I'm looking at these.
2:44:24
I'm thinking what we paid is too much. But I'm
2:44:27
not sure what the cost was on these. because there's
2:44:31
a million different versions of this product. And you're going
2:44:35
to have to try different ones to see which ones
2:44:37
you like. But I'm telling you, the best snack I've
2:44:39
run into in the last decade. Freeze dried blueberries. Huh.
2:44:48
These things are unbelievable. They taste like they have the
2:44:54
quality of corn pops. So they're just crunchier than they're
2:44:58
just crunchy. And you just can't eat enough of them.
2:45:02
In fact, the bag that I got from Trader Joe's,
2:45:05
and you can get these at Trader Joe's, and Trader
2:45:08
Joe's is in 43 of the 52 states. Mm-hmm. so
2:45:12
you can go get him there. You can cross the
2:45:14
state line to get him, son. and so uh trader
2:45:18
joe's has them but they also if you go to
2:45:20
amazon there's about 30 vendors of these things and there's
2:45:24
all different kinds of freeze dried fruit. What is the
2:45:27
sugar content per serving? It's pretty low. Really? Blueberries don't
2:45:31
have a lot of sugar anyway. They're a good source
2:45:35
of protein. It's a good source of a lot of
2:45:38
things and they're very low in sodium and low in
2:45:40
potassium. They're outstanding products. antioxidant value yes high antioxidant but
2:45:46
you just but the one pack turns out to be
2:45:50
one serving and you had quite a few of them
2:45:52
in here but you end up you can't stop eating
2:45:55
them they're worse than olives oh olives oh man olives
2:46:00
i hear you oh man I hear you, man. Have
2:46:03
you ever had the Louisiana pickles? Louisiana pickles? I don't
2:46:08
know what that is. What is special about them? Oh,
2:46:10
now this is a producer and he does... You haven't
2:46:13
gotten those Louisiana pickles? No one sent me anything. Oh,
2:46:16
okay. I'll have him send some to you. Yeah, since
2:46:19
it's sweet Swedish. Oh, it's great Okay. Anyway, back to
2:46:23
your blueberries. Anyway, so freeze-dried blueberries. Check it out. Freeze?
2:46:28
Is this the kind that, uh... that tries to run
2:46:31
down the hotel hallway? Huh? No, you don't remember. Oh,
2:46:38

2:46:41

lake between the Lincoln Monument. Nobody's ever seen anything like
2:50:15
it. And it was a problem about things, and hundreds
2:50:18
of millions were spent. The Biden administration and the Obama

administration. hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get it

didn't work. I mean, they wouldn't even have water in

there, but when they did, it was just dirty, filthy
