Oh, you gotta be careful with dialing your knobs. Adam
0:03
Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, June 14th, 2026. This
0:07
is your award-winning Give-A-Nation Media Assassination Episode 1877. This is
0:12
no agenda. Calling offsides! And we're broadcasting live from the
0:18
heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in... Good
0:21
morning, everybody. Curry. northern Silicon Valley where they're using Gila
0:27
monster poison to lose weight I'm John C Dvorak Yeah,
0:34
hello, eight months ago. Everybody knows this. Hello? Well, they're
0:41
making a big fuss about it now. They were making
0:45
a big fuss about it then. It just came back.
0:48
It's a recycle. Recycle. What was it? What's the noisemakers?
0:53
You're back home, that's why. Oh, I got a noisemaker!
0:56
Oh, people! Bing, bing, bing, bing! I discovered a bunch
0:59
of stuff cleaning up. So I got this. webs. you
1:09
What is that, Spider-Man? So Yeah. Okay. Hello, child. I
1:19
don't know where I got this. I... I've never even
1:23
heard that one. I haven't either. That's what surprises me.
1:27
You probably had it for years, didn't even know. This
1:29
is what happens. There was one woman, Sharon, I think
1:32
was her name. She kept sending me sound effect devices.
1:36
This is what happens. Then she stopped. I think we
1:38
lost her. She's overboard. This is what happens when you
1:40
let your wife redecorate your house. Was she in your
1:44
room? Not yet. Or maybe. Come on. Okay. Wow. Enough
1:52
of this shenanigans. Hey! Go Team USA! Paraguay 4-1! A
1:59
good match. A good match. Yeah. Thanks to our alien
2:04
player, the black guy who's the only talent on the
2:07
team. Well, he was born in Brooklyn. I thought he
2:11
was born in Nigeria. No, he was born in Brooklyn.
2:14
Uh, grew up? In the UK, I think, but his
2:18
parents are from Nigeria. Okay. So he's a boy from
2:22
Brooklyn. But yes, he's definitely... He sounds like a Brit
2:26
when he talks. Well, it's because he grew up there.
2:28
And so here's what I've noticed because I haven't really
2:30
watched... Football. Which, by the way, it turns out that
2:35
soccer... Actually, the English use that in the... you know,
2:39
a hundred years ago, they used the term soccer. And
2:42
I couldn't figure out. Was it about the game? Yes,
2:46
because you had football. I thought it was about their
2:48
relationships with their women. No, you had football, which was
2:52
rugby. But then you had association football, ASOC, SOC, so
2:58
people would call it SOC. As an association, soccer appeals
3:02
to notice. I'm surprised that you're talking about this when
3:04
the Knicks just wiped out your San Antonio team in
3:11
another pathetic loss by the team that seems to be
3:15
born to choke. Born to choke. It's Cuban's team. I
3:19
have a love-hate relationship. It's not Cuban's team. That's the
3:23
Dallas team that's Cuban's team. No, no. He has the
3:27
Spurs. What are you talking about? Wow. Are you telling?
3:32
You heard it, people. Who does he have? The Dallas
3:35
Mavericks. Oh, the Mavericks, right. Yeah. Oh, well. Screw him
3:39
anyway. I got a real laugh out of you on
3:45
that one. Oh, boy. So let me go back. Yeah,
3:47
because it was one of those flip-around gags. They're pretty
3:51
hard to pull off. So I just want to say
3:54
a few things about the match. We don't call it
3:57
a game. We call it a match. And by the
3:59
way, the boy from Brooklyn, that last goal off the
4:02
outside of his boot. See, I've got all the terms
4:05
back now. Because it's not a shoe. In football, it's
4:08
a boot. Okay. So I see what they've done. You
4:13
know, the biggest problem I've always seen with soccer in
4:16
America is it's not advertising friendly. kind of solved it
4:19
in two ways. One, the digital signage, that's just great.
4:24
They've got someone riding that thing. They're switching it up.
4:27
It's all coordinated. It's all over the stadium. It's very
4:31
subliminal. I think that works well for the advertisers. The
4:35
second thing is they've instituted. the uh hydration break Which
4:44
is not a thing in soccer. Oh, we're halfway through
4:48
the first half. Everybody needs a hydration break. In other
4:51
words, time for commercials! It's so obvious what they did
4:56
there. Well, it will never get as pathetic as it
5:01
was watching the NBA game, where every time they took
5:04
the ball out of bounds, there was 10 minutes of
5:06
commercials. Well, yeah. Can you turn on your speakers just
5:09
a tad? A little bit of slapback coming through. But
5:12
here's the thing that... that really threw me. Because part
5:15
of the game of football... is The referee, you know,
5:20
he makes calls. You go yell at him. You know,
5:23
everyone, big protests. That's part of the game. Now they
5:27
have the VAR. Which is the video... The Daughters of
5:31
the American Revolution? Not D, V, as in Victor. Oh.
5:36
The video assisted... referee So... this one the one team
5:43
for paraguay the one player he's like oh oh he
5:48
he kicked my shin oh i'm laying on the ground
5:51
and they do the slow-mo and it's obvious the guy
5:53
never even touched him so first the the american player
5:56
got a yellow card for kicking the guy in the
5:59
shin, which didn't happen. Then somewhere in the booth somewhere,
6:02
someone calls down to the ref who also has a
6:04
camera on his head. Ref cam. He says, hey, man,
6:07
we're calling a tech on that. So then the ref
6:09
runs over to the sideline, looks at the monitor. sees
6:13
that nothing happened and for the first time ever in
6:16
any world cup He takes the yellow card away from
6:20
the American guy and gives it to the Paraguay gay
6:23
guy. Good. But it's kind of, it's not right. It's
6:30
absolutely correct. This flopping is ridiculous, and that's what soccer's
6:35
known for. It's part of the game, and you're supposed
6:38
to... be able to say we lost because the ref
6:39
was no good. That is part of the game. Yeah,
6:42
well those days are over and they should be. And
6:47
our, where's our, where's our, um... Where's our coach from?
6:52
He's from Mexico City, I think. I'm not sure. Here's
6:56
a, I guess, short clip here. We won the game.
6:59
No, it's worse than that. Here's the president wishing them
7:03
good luck. Brand new video of President Trump wishing the
7:06
team good luck moments ago. Mr. President, Andrew Giuliani, how
7:10
are you? Hi, Andrew. Well, I'm standing in front of
7:13
26 champions and a great coach, Coach Pochettino right now.
7:18
They're ready to go and run through a wall. So
7:20
I'm going to give you to Coach Pochettino and the
7:23
captain. Hi, Mr. President. How are you? Well, I just
7:29
called to say you're a fantastic guy, a fantastic coach,
7:32
and you're all about your record, and you're Success and
7:36
I know how great the players are. is I just
7:42
want to wish you all the best. Thank you so
7:44
much for your support, Mr. President. We are going to
7:48
do everything to make proud you and all the people
7:51
here in this country. Yes, okay, thank you. Whatever he
7:55
just said. Oh, wait, let me get this straight. So
7:58
they win one lousy game. And the president gets pulled
8:03
into it. Because this is the only game they're going
8:05
to win. The American team traditionally stinks. This was before
8:09
the game. Oh, it was before? They don't even win
8:13
a game in the President Against Johnny Dumb. Why are
8:16
you so unpatriotic, man? What's wrong with you? I'm just
8:20
not a soccer fan. Well, you don't have to be
8:22
to just say go team USA or go, go. Okay.
8:25
I'll say it. Go team USA. Now get off the
8:29
stage. So the guy who keeps predicting the winner of
8:34
the world cup, I forget the guy's name. He has
8:37
predicted that. Then America will win. you And just one
8:45
more sports ball nugget. The Dutch king, who was a
8:49
huge football fan. He has problems because now Curaçao, which
8:55
is a Dutch province. has a team, they qualified, they're
9:01
in there, and he has his wife who of course
9:02
is Argentinian. So he has three teams he's gotta be
9:06
rooting for. I mean, this is a problem. So you
9:10
don't like sports at all, and somehow you're suckered into
9:13
this soccer scene, and you've been yakking about it now.
9:19
Why? What happened? Come on, explain. Well, I've been taking
9:22
testosterone. So my tea is up. I thought your tea
9:28
was down. That's, which would more likely explain it. Yeah,
9:32
but no. No, I have a new, now I have
9:36
a new, a new. tablets, dissolvable tablets under your tongue.
9:42
Okay. This is my last foray into the tea. I'm
9:47
not doing shots, okay? I'm not going to do shots.
9:50
Just know this is lame. Jello shots. If it was
9:54
jello shots, yeah, I'd do a lot of that. Anyway,
9:58
right. as we're getting ready for the
10:00
The deal to be signed any minute now, any minute
10:02
now. Oh, yeah. BBC reporting that Israel has attacked Beirut
10:08
again. These guys. If that's really true, I don't see
10:12
it on any other on the quad screen, but if
10:14
that's true... *BURP* Trump will not be happy. It's about
10:18
time we attack Israel. Yeah, we got to do something.
10:23
Those guys are trouble. They keep mucking up the deal.
10:27
It's no good. Did you see the chorus of brass
10:31
that was out over the weekend about this deal? I
10:35
mean, everybody had generals and vice admirals and colonels. and
10:39
guys from CENTCOM. No? Well, I have some clips, but
10:47
I didn't notice it was anything. Beyond the ordinary. I...
10:52
I don't typically see that many coming out. Um... General
10:58
Kane. And the message is, well, the Iranians are no
11:03
good. We should keep bombing them. Here to discuss the
11:05
feasibility of this, retired four-star general, Fox News senior strategic
11:09
analyst, chairman of the Institute for the Study of War,
11:12
General Jack Keane. General, I know... Jack Keane's no good.
11:17
No, of course not. This is on Fox, where Fox
11:20
had all the warmongers on. Notice that the Iranians aren't
11:24
pushing back so aggressively as they have in the past
11:27
after the president said we were close on a deal.
11:30
Do you read anything into that? No, well, I think...
11:34
It remains to be seen where we are. I mean,
11:37
you can tell... This guy's from the... Institute of war.
11:39
Well, I think it remains to be seen. The institute
11:42
of war. From Iran, I mean, their comments are always
11:45
inconsistent when it comes to a deal. You've got people
11:48
saying they're compliant, you have other people in the government
11:51
saying they're not. So it's going to take some time
11:54
to ferret out what we really have here. It's not
11:56
inconsistent at all. Say what? What he described is... inconsistent
12:00
at all. One side says this, the other side says
12:04
that. That's very consistent. Yes. But listen, we're not at
12:08
this point without the military operation that President Trump ordered.
12:13
He knew he wasn't making much progress with these guys.
12:16
And two nights of military operations with the promise. certainly
12:21
gave them added leverage. And I think as we go
12:24
forward, we're in early stages here. Remember, it's taken us
12:28
two months to get here after the ceasefire when the
12:32
Iranians said they were going to negotiate the opening of
12:35
the Straits of Hormuz in two weeks. So we have
12:38
to have some... patience in what we're dealing with here,
12:41
right? And we have to be very clear-eyed about what's
12:44
happening. Because what the Iranians say and what they do
12:48
are two different things. All right, so let's go to
12:51
CNN. uh cnn really want uh us to lose everything
12:56
it's just cnn and ms now they're just like We
12:59
should be the losers. We should be the suckers. This
13:01
is what we want. This is where it's going. Trump's
13:04
no good. Iran declaring victory this hour. The foreign minister
13:07
going on TV tonight to make this declaration. We are
13:13
the victor of this battlefield. The Islamic Republic of Iran
13:17
has emerged as a victor. This is the sort of
13:29
propaganda you might expect from the Iranians, but it actually
13:32
happens to be something a shipping executive I spoke with
13:35
tonight backs up. The ship's stuck in the strait for
13:37
now a long time. He told me, quote, unfortunately, the
13:40
White House, the U.S. are losers. Well, who was the
13:44
name? What was the name of the guy? Why don't
13:46
you have him on? Dude, this is what I don't
13:48
like. Well, this backs up what some guy told me.
13:52
And the guy said, you know, we've had a ship
13:54
out there for some time. So we're losers. That's CNN.
13:59
That is very poor reporting. But that's what we get
14:04
constantly. What was I looking at this morning? Someone sent
14:07
me a note. It was actually, I think the oil
14:10
baron also wants us to lose. I don't know what
14:12
he's doing. The oil baron. Uh, here, this was from
14:17
Bloomberg. This is how, this is what Bloomberg write. Uh...
14:21
Iran pushed back on U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion an
14:27
interim peace deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was
14:29
imminent as an Israeli strike on Lebanon posed a potential
14:33
new risk to any agreement. And then they have the
14:36
Islamic Republic said an agreement with the U.S. would not
14:38
be reached by Trump's suggestion. deadline of Sunday, Iran's semi-official
14:43
Fars News Agency reported citing an unidentified official close to
14:48
the negotiating team. What does that even mean? As a
14:52
friend. As of Friday, Iranian Supreme Leader... Motaba Kameni. hadn't
14:59
agreed to the text of the so-called Memorandum of Understanding
15:03
according to a person familiar with the matter. Like this
15:06
is not reporting. This is just hearsay. I know, I
15:13
know, it's crazy, right? What? What? Gambling? And so... I
15:18
still haven't heard from the oil baron about these, you
15:21
know, 100 million barrels of oil. I think everyone got
15:25
signed because I know that his partner has been to
15:27
the White House and is part of the oil roundtable,
15:30
whatever. I think they were all signed to NDAs about
15:34
this. Listen to this. We're taking out millions. Whoops. I'm
15:38
just announcing today for the first time, but we've been
15:41
taking out millions of barrels. of oil, millions of barrels
15:48
every night. That's why it's at 85, 90 dollars a
15:51
barrel instead of 250. He is an expert, Phil Flynn,
15:54
Fox Business and Focus with me now. Phil, great to
15:57
have you. If you could just walk us through what
16:00
the president's announcement means for oil markets and why price
16:04
is actually good news, not spiking higher in the U.S.
16:08
right now. It's absolutely great news. And I think people
16:11
really have to credit the Trump administration from averting what
16:15
could have been a major economic crisis. The way that
16:19
they've snuck oil out of the Strait of Hormuz by
16:22
the cover of night is something of legend, right? It
16:26
reminds me of the American Revolution sneaking over the Delaware
16:29
in the middle of the night. But you know what?
16:31
People in the industry have been watching this, and we've
16:35
been seeing it on the oil side. That's why the
16:37
markets have been going crazy. We have seen these tankers,
16:40
you know, through these different satellite images, you know, going
16:44
through the straits. So the word was out there, you
16:47
know, but I don't think it was coverage. I think
16:50
because loose lips, you know, sink ships. They were told
16:54
that they were told to shut up about it. It's
16:56
clear now. That's why the oil baron wouldn't answer me.
17:01
Well, that's your thesis. You don't know that for a
17:03
fact. Well, but I'm hearing the guy saying we all
17:05
knew about it. We were watching it on the satellite.
17:08
Loose lips sink ships. That's exactly. That is a shut
17:11
up mission. Now, of course, I don't know that for
17:14
a fact, but now that it's all over, maybe... But
17:16
you don't even know if it was actually... if anything
17:18
actually happened. Okay. Sure. Why don't you play some clips?
17:23
Because you're not going to be on my side on
17:25
anything today. It started, I know I started you off
17:27
wrong with the football. I'm sorry. Ah, you apologized. Yes,
17:33
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. No, I'm just...
17:38
Think there's a lot of flim-flam going on? and it's
17:42
getting on my nerves. - Oh, okay. - And you
17:46
know, so this, that, yeah, we did this, we did
17:48
that, and now we're doing this, and now we're doing
17:50
that. It's just like... It just bothers me. So let's
17:55
go with the BBC. I got BBC coverage here. This
17:58
is... It bothers him, ladies and gentlemen. It bothers me.
18:01
Please stop. So, let's go to BBC Flim Flam. BBC
18:06
Flim Flam. President Trump has said a deal with Iran
18:09
is scheduled to be signed on Sunday and will be
18:12
followed by the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz
18:15
to shipping. His comment came hours after Iran cast... doubt
18:18
on whether the signing would happen so soon. In a
18:21
social media post, Mr Trump insisted the agreement would ensure
18:24
Iran could never get a nuclear weapon. Thomas Morgan is
18:28
following developments from Washington. It was really interesting how much
18:31
he mentions the nuclear program in Iran in that post,
18:35
even though in this memorandum is actually not a Part
18:38
of that, what it says in the memorandum, is that
18:41
the strait will reopen, there'll be a peace truce between
18:45
the two countries, the US blockade will lift, but in
18:48
terms of the nuclear program, what it says and what
18:51
the deal says is that they will continue negotiations for
18:54
60 days. If I might point out, um... Flimflam is
19:00
a phrase we should use more often. Where does this
19:03
even come from? You have a source of knowledge sitting
19:08
right next to you. Oh, a book of knowledge. Okay.
19:10
Book of knowledge. Book of Knowledge. What is the etymology
19:16
of flimflam? The book of knowledge is always there ready
19:21
for me. Let's see what he comes up with. Oh,
19:25
it has to go back a long time in the
19:26
audience. According to the Book of Knowledge, Flim Flam emerged
19:29
in the 1530s as a contemptuous echoic construction, likely from
19:34
old Scandinavian origins connected to Old Norse Flim, meaning mockery.
19:40
The word first entered English as deceptive nonsense in the
19:44
second half of the 16th century. Flim flam, there you
19:47
go. It has been written. It's mockery. So it's a
19:51
very old term. It's from the 1500s. Well, so are
19:54
you. So it's an old term. It still applies. possible
19:58
show title, I think, now.
20:01
Yeah, it's actually a pretty good thing. Okay, back to
20:04
the BBC. Now we have the deal signing BS clip.
20:09
So, once again, it's been a day which started with
20:12
optimism. Talk of some kind of agreement between the US
20:16
and Iran being signed on Sunday. Only for that hope
20:19
to be... Very much left uncertain, with Iran denying that
20:22
anything would happen quite so imminently. We have, of course,
20:26
been here before. Indeed, President Trump has made a habit
20:29
of announcing that agreement with Iran is close. This time,
20:33
however, it's not just the White House which is talking
20:36
up the prospects of success. As my colleague Parham Khabadi...
20:40
from the BBC's personal service explained to me. What we
20:43
know so far is that they're really close to signing
20:46
a deal. Why? Because Americans are saying it, Pakistanis are
20:48
saying it, and even Iranians are saying it. But what
20:51
we don't know is that is it going to be
20:53
signed really tomorrow? Donald Trump thinks so. He posted on
20:56
his social media saying that it is scheduled for tomorrow.
20:59
Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif also mentioned the same thing.
21:03
However, he said that it is going to be signed
21:05
digitally. So there is no photo opportunities that Donald Trump
21:08
usually likes. And Iranians, they want to deprive him of
21:12
that photo opportunity so that he cannot claim victory. Regardless,
21:17
what Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson has said that there is
21:20
no... signing tomorrow. And we are not traveling anywhere, neither
21:24
to Geneva nor anywhere else for tomorrow. Iranians are being
21:28
more cautious about the timeline and to give the exact
21:32
time and date of signing. Why is that? Maybe because
21:36
they haven't finalized it yet or maybe because of the
21:39
Iranian hardliners. They don't want to create an atmosphere inside
21:42
Iran to give opportunity to Iranian hardliners to criticize the
21:46
governments. I find it interesting that Qatar all of a
21:49
sudden is at the table now. I mean, I knew
21:51
the Pakistanis were doing it, but now Qatar is showing
21:54
up. Those guys may not be any good either. Well,
21:58
they're on the other side of the Strait of... Or
22:01
Moose. Yeah. So they figure they should have something to
22:04
do with that. I don't know. Maybe Tucker will represent
22:07
them. Ah. I got one more clip from the BBC,
22:13
which is this one kind of gives away something. I
22:16
thought this analysis was pretty good. It's possible that this
22:20
is meaningful. It's about the. funeral of the of the
22:22
dead of the dead yeah this is good hold on
22:26
a second uh here it is yes another development which
22:29
we've been hearing about in the news is that iran
22:31
has now said that the funeral of the late leader
22:34
ayatollah ali khamenei will take place next month now they
22:37
had delayed this apparently because iran did not want his
22:41
funeral to take place in the middle of a conflict.
22:44
So if they're now saying it will go ahead next
22:46
month, I'm wondering whether we can read into that that
22:48
they expect the conflict to be over by then. Yeah,
22:51
it might be because they think that by then they
22:53
should have overcome this conflict and this conflict, you know,
22:57
they've reached at least some sort of a kind of
22:59
rapprochement with the United States. So there's no direct military
23:03
combat going on. But the fact is that he has
23:07
not been buried for almost four months, over four months,
23:11
by the time in three weeks' time that they're going
23:13
to bury him. And his son, who is the third
23:16
Iranian Supreme Leader, has not been seen in public, and
23:19
nobody has heard his voice. in the meantime so are
23:23
we going to see him appear for the first time
23:25
during the funeral as well because that might be one
23:28
of the key factors in the equation as well because
23:31
his son has never been heard or seen in public
23:34
so maybe that's the time we're going to see him
23:36
for the first time or maybe not ah well so
23:39
first of all i have a follow-up clip to that
23:41
interesting how things come together on this show rapprochement Why
23:46
are we still using French words for deal? war. rapprochement.
23:53
It's more of an agreement. Yeah, okay. MOU. Reprochement. Memorandum
23:59
of Understanding. actual date, according to Fox News, is even
24:04
funnier. Supreme Leader's funeral happening on that day. Is there
24:24
a message in there somewhere or is that reading too
24:26
into things? It's unclear. There was an original time frame
24:30
that this was going to happen in the early part
24:32
of this month and that maybe it slid. There is
24:35
an ongoing conflict in that country and in that region.
24:38
So perhaps their preps got a little thrown off. Yeah,
24:41
unclear if it has anything to do with the 250th
24:43
anniversary, which the planning and preps for is very noticeable
24:47
around this city. July 4th, those bastards. Yeah, good catch.
24:53
I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the
24:55
day for finding that one. Oh, thank you. You would
24:59
catch it. Ah, the BBC, that day. They don't like
25:02
that day. They don't want to bring any more attention
25:05
to July 4th than is necessary. I have one last
25:09
clip, which is the NPR rundown. It's kind of their
25:14
update of the whole thing. Let's see. NPR rundown. I'm
25:20
not seeing it. What is it? This is... This Iran
25:23
deal update NPR. Both the U.S. and Iran say the
25:27
signing of a peace deal is imminent, but disagree on
25:30
when it will happen. President Trump says it'll happen tomorrow,
25:33
but a top Iranian official doesn't think it will be
25:36
that soon, as NPR's Carrie Khan reports. Trump posted that
25:40
a deal to end... fighting between the U.S. and Iran
25:43
is, quote, scheduled to get signed on Sunday. And he
25:47
added that the Strait of Hormuz, a key transport route
25:50
for the world's oil and gas supply, will be, quote,
25:54
open to all. Pakistani officials, who have been key mediators,
25:58
said a deal was expected within 24 hours and would
26:01
be... signed electronically. But on Saturday, a spokesman for Iran's
26:05
foreign ministry said a deal was coming, but, quote, we
26:08
will have to wait and see about the exact date,
26:11
adding it will not be Sunday. Neither side has provided
26:15
details of an agreement. Other than Iran would open the
26:18
strait, the U.S. would lift its blockade, and the current...
26:21
ceasefire would be extended for 60 days. That 60 days
26:26
meme, I don't know if that's true. I keep talking
26:28
about that. And there's a 24 billion they keep talking
26:31
about. This will kind of wrap it up. ABC had
26:34
their version. And as you'd expect from ABC, it's like
26:38
the whole thing was ridiculous. And we're right back where
26:41
we started. started with Obama. The two sides appear to
26:43
be closer than ever to a deal to end the
26:46
fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Senior White House
26:49
correspondent Selina Wang is in Washington with the details. Selina,
26:52
good morning. Yeah, good morning, Witt. And this is the
26:55
strongest sign we've seen yet that the U.S. and Iran
26:57
are getting close to an agreement to end this war.
27:00
A senior administrator. immigration official telling us there's an 80
27:03
to 85 percent chance a deal is signed in the
27:06
coming days and Iran's foreign minister says an agreement has
27:10
never been closer as for what's in this deal that
27:13
U.S. official says it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz
27:16
that critical waterway and lift the U.S. blockade but look
27:20
this is just a memorandum of understanding would still have
27:23
to be hashed out over a 60-day period. The official
27:26
says the deal, quote, leads to the dismantling of Iran's
27:30
nuclear program, the U.S. taking the enriched material, destroying it,
27:34
and removing it from the country. But there's no specifics,
27:37
Whit, about how all of that would happen. And, Selena,
27:40
what more are you learning about what Iran would do?
27:42
get out of this deal? Well, potentially a lot. The
27:46
senior administration official says if Iran holds up their end
27:50
of the bargain, they'll get relief from crushing economic pressure
27:53
and reintegrate into the global economy. That could include relief
27:56
from U.S. sanctions and $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
28:02
Something really important to keep in mind as we talk
28:04
about all of this. Trump says Iran will promise. I
28:07
love that. But here's this is NLP. That was pretty
28:10
good. But here's something really important to keep in mind
28:12
as we talk about all this. Listen to me. Listen
28:14
to me. Listen to me. That could include relief from
28:17
U.S. sanctions and 24 billion dollars in frozen Iranian assets.
28:22
But here's something really important to keep in mind as
28:24
we talk about all of this. Trump says Iran will
28:27
promise never to build or obtain a nuclear weapon. But
28:30
that promise is not new. In fact, it was in
28:33
the very first paragraph of the nuclear deal negotiated under
28:36
President Obama, a deal that Trump tore up and still
28:39
repeatedly criticizes to this day. He tore it up and
28:43
he's doing the same thing. He's no good. War of
28:45
choice. Yeah. Poor choice. I'm thinking the July 4th funeral
28:51
date. I think that's correct. You know, my thesis has
28:54
always been Trump gets it. That's what I'd do. Yes.
28:58
But Trump's probably happy with it. Yeah, go ahead. Do
29:00
it on July 4th. Who cares? We're going to have
29:03
bombs bursting in air, jets flying over, vanilla ice. It's
29:07
going to be fantastic. We got everything here in America.
29:10
You're not going to see anything that's happening. Who cares?
29:13
We're going to see some people in the street. We're
29:15
carrying a casket like they always do. They use stock
29:18
footage. We've seen that so many times. Then it'll all
29:21
be cleared up and just before, just before the July
29:24
4th holiday, gas prices go down, everyone's happy. Yeah, I
29:29
can see it. I can see it. Well, that would
29:33
be good timing. I personally don't think they're going to
29:36
get the gas prices down in time, but okay. Well,
29:40
they're already down here. Here. Oh, I'm sorry. What am
29:44
I thinking? I shouldn't even be making any generalizations. I'm
29:47
in California. Yes, correct. I saw it's a diesel price
29:52
around the corner. I'm afraid to even guess. 825. Oh,
29:58
man.
30:00
crazy. That's a lot. Well, speaking of California, real quick.
30:06
I mean, it looks like Spencer Pratt has the goods
30:09
on your mayor that, well, you're not in Los Angeles,
30:12
but on the mayor in Los Angeles, do you see
30:14
his threat video? I've seen all his videos, yes. Former
30:20
reality show star and vanquished L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt
30:24
under a menacing music bed unleashing a vitriolic two-minute long
30:28
video. Whoa, that was, this is a good piece. Vanquished,
30:30
and then what he said? Spencer Pratt under a menacing
30:33
music bed. Menacing music bed. Unleashing a vitriolic two-minute long
30:39
video. The top two voters, Mayor Karen Bass and City
30:43
Councilman Nithya Rama. And now every problem that plagues Los
30:46
Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to
30:49
accelerate. It's more interspliced with movie clips. Pratt predicted his
30:54
loss would result in a rapid dismembering of the social
30:57
and economic fabric of the city. And he claimed. of
30:59
a private conversation involving one of the two candidates, of
31:05
such a nature that its disclosure would force them to
31:08
resign from public office. So Karen Nithya, ask yourself, is
31:12
it possible that one of your employees may have a
31:14
recording of you doing or saying something that would force
31:17
you to resign in disgrace? Wouldn't an FBI blazer They're
31:20
busting the door, breaking open your office, because I assure
31:22
you, they're coming. I'm... Shades of Tom Arnold. I've got
31:29
the pee tape. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly it. He probably
31:34
doesn't have anything. Well, let's see, there's one follow-up short
31:38
clip here. Former L.A. County Su- is with UCLA's Luskin
31:42
Institute. He predicts most voters have moved on. People are
31:47
tired of the yelling and screaming, and we saw that
31:51
in the governor's race. One of the reasons Javier Becerra
31:55
emerged as a leader is people were tired of candidates.
31:59
behaving like children. As for Pratt's claim that he has
32:02
a secret recording. Talk is cheap. I don't take it
32:05
seriously. Can I tell you how many times people said,
32:07
oh, we have recordings of you? No, it's I think
32:14
it's just designed to make news. I do get these
32:20
all the time. I get emails all the time. We
32:22
have recordings of you. I broke into your computer. I
32:26
saw you on your webcam. I saw what you were
32:28
doing, looking at adult websites. Send me a Bitcoin. Yeah.
32:33
You get that all the time. Yeah. Yeah. I always
32:36
say semi-copy. It really flies when you drive a gunny.
32:38
camera on your machine. Send me a copy. Yes, give
32:43
me a copy. I'll make some money off of that.
32:45
I could use it. I need the proof. Yeah. So
32:50
then we have the big UFC fight. Yeah, that's going
32:55
on, should be going on now, shouldn't it, or is
32:58
it tonight? No, I think it's... No, they're doing it
33:00
tonight. Oh, man. I really like this idea, personally. UFC
33:07
is such a huge sport. um As far as I
33:12
know, the whole UFC idea is kind of uniquely American.
33:16
Not the techniques and, of course, all the... fighting comes
33:20
from derivatives. But I mean, Correct me if I'm wrong,
33:24
but this is a huge American pastime watching UFC, right?
33:29
Well, this began, this is not an old sport, so
33:33
you can't call it a pastime. I mean, I think
33:35
it... began in earnest about. 25 years ago, maybe. there
33:41
was a i think there was two competing operations and
33:44
the the initial thinking with ufc was this was during
33:49
an era 25 or 30 years ago when everybody was
33:52
taking different kinds of karate, Brazilian karate and jiu-jitsu. And
33:59
there was this thinking, which of these sports would be
34:04
the most dominant if they were facing off in a
34:07
real head-to-head match with no holds barred? Yeah, right. And
34:13
it turns out, after a few of these matches, that
34:16
it turned out to be wrestling. Grappler. Get the guy
34:19
on the ground and start pounding him. Yeah. But if
34:21
you, the first, just to get anecdotal here, because I
34:26
saw some of the first videotapes because it was not
34:29
on television. Right. It was taped and passed around. Some
34:33
guy was a collector of these. It was at carnivals
34:35
and back rooms. Well, I'll tell you. The original UFC
34:40
fights from, and I don't know if it was called
34:42
UFC at the time, but the original fights where they
34:45
had these guys, one guy would be a karate guy
34:47
and the other a boxer. They'd go after each other.
34:49
One guy would jump the other guy, knock him to
34:52
the ground, get him in a position, and then start
34:55
pounding his nuts. as hard as he could. over and
35:00
over and over with extreme force until the guy, if
35:05
the guy could even manage to tap out because he
35:09
was in such pain. That's what I mean. A real
35:10
American sport. That's the one that's going to pound your
35:13
nuts. Yeah, and so they had to ban the pounding
35:15
of the balls because these guys were being, you know,
35:18
basically. Basically never could have children after this. And this
35:23
was the early going. And then they changed and they
35:26
made rules and it became a little more like boxing
35:29
in terms of us, you know, being having rules that,
35:32
you know, what originally was no rules. It was you
35:35
go for it. Well, I have I have three short.
35:39
clips of response from the usual suspects. Let's see what
35:42
they think of it. We start with PBS David Brooks.
35:45
David, do your Sunday night plans involve being at the
35:48
White House for a UFC match by chance? Well, I'm
35:51
actually an active participant. I'm going to be fighting with
35:55
Jonathan. That I would like to see. Could you imagine?
35:59
What do you make of this? Well, I first thought
36:02
of, like, who are the artists John F. Kennedy brought
36:04
to the White House? It was like W.H. Auden, Robert
36:08
Frost, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein. And now we've got cage
36:13
fighting. Don't anybody say America's in cultural decline? Well, he
36:17
also brought in Mayor Monroe and a whole bunch of...
36:19
Dixie was banging, but don't anyone talk about that. Let's
36:23
not mention that. MSNOW. You're reporting yesterday for MSNOW how
36:30
Trump and his allies could profit from the UFC fight
36:33
at the White House. And you report in part, Trump
36:36
purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock in
36:39
UFC. parent company shortly before announcing the event last year
36:43
according to a May financial disclosure he's holding a 1
36:47
million dollar per plate fundraiser for his top super pack
36:51
the night before the cage match. It's his birthday let
36:54
him do what he wants. Tonight and Trump. What did
36:58
Obama bring in? He brought in Jay-Z and Beyonce and
37:04
had all kinds of fundraisers. Officially designed, officially designed a
37:11
line of Trump X UFC Freedom 250 medallions, which are
37:18
selling for... $250 to $12,000. What in the grift is
37:26
this? What in the grift? And when it comes to
37:27
those coins, some of those profits are going to go
37:30
to the president's licensing company. Now, the White House says
37:34
that his sons run the Trump organization businesses, but it's
37:38
not in a blind turn. any of his stuff in
37:41
a blind trust the way past presidents have traditionally done.
37:59
to the American people. And you just... This guy is
38:04
so good. Calling it a gift to the American people.
38:08
Yes, it's a gift to the American people. Is it
38:12
free, by the way? Is it pay-per-view or is it
38:14
free? Well, you're asking me. I don't know. Yeah, you
38:17
don't know. It was a troll roommate, no. defended the
38:19
spectacle, calling it a gift to the American people. And
38:23
you just got to hear this bizarre comparison he made.
38:27
When President Kennedy announced that we were going to put
38:29
a man on the moon and return him safely to
38:31
the earth, no one thought that was possible, and we
38:33
did it. We are a nation founded on doing what
38:35
no one else dared to do and no one else
38:38
aspired to do. And at some level, that's what this
38:41
whole company, what UFC has been. Wow. Isn't that good?
38:46
Rubio's the best. He nails it. On some level, that's
38:51
exactly what happened with this. It was like a moon
38:53
shot, man. ...safely to the earth. No one thought that
38:56
was possible, and we did it. We are a nation
38:57
founded on doing what no one else dared to do
39:00
and no one else aspired to do. And at some
39:03
level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has been.
39:07
Laura Burhan-Lovess and Aidan McLaughlin are back with us. I'm
39:11
going to just leave that alone. I'm going to leave
39:13
that alone. All right. Now, what I learned, though, from
39:15
NBC is that wrestling is a very... very long presidential
39:22
history. 13 former presidents were wrestlers, including Dwight Eisenhower and
39:27
William Howard Taft. Even George Washington was known to grapple,
39:30
according to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. And a
39:33
young Abraham Lincoln is also said to have been victorious
39:36
in hundreds of matches in his day. There's only one
39:39
recorded instance. in which Lincoln lost a wrestling match, that's
39:44
the kind of a president you want. And Teddy Roosevelt?
39:46
As a president, he learned jujitsu and actually threw a
39:51
senator onto the ground. I'm sure other presidents would have
39:53
liked to do that themselves. I didn't know this. Go
39:57
Teddy.
40:00
Hip throw you. Yeah, see? We got weak somewhere along
40:04
the line. Our presidents were badasses. Hey, Senator! You know
40:08
we golf? Ha! Golf! I'm going to, I'm going to,
40:13
when did the golfing thing start? Did that start with
40:16
JFK? He was a golfer, wasn't he? No, Eisenhower was
40:20
a huge golfer. Oh, Eisenhower. Okay. I know Roosevelt wasn't.
40:25
No, his wife was. I don't think anybody else was.
40:29
She had other qualifications that were put in the lead.
40:31
I think it was Eisenhower that really made it happen.
40:35
It was good. It was good. Well, we're on top
40:38
topic of... personalities uh elon musk is a trillionaire yes
40:43
he is yes good work on paper yes uh-huh And
40:47
so I thought I have two clips that I thought
40:49
would celebrate this. One is the Elon Musk supercut of
40:55
everybody on MSNBC, CNN, and the rest of them. saying
40:59
what a dummy he is. This dude. is probably one
41:04
of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or
41:07
seen or witnessed. Being a freeloader and a selfish and
41:12
disrespectful one, and for misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes,
41:17
Elon Musk is the absolute worst. The world's richest freeloader
41:22
evidently has a very thin skin. Elon Musk kind of
41:26
turned out to be a... And I don't want to
41:30
be driving a car. built and designed by Elon Musk
41:34
is incompetent. He's incompetent. He's a thief. He's a Nazi.
41:40
Musk is a pathological liar. He's a criminal. Wow. He's
41:45
a sociopath and a ghoul. I cannot say that someone
41:48
like Elon Musk is an intellectual. Really what he's up
41:51
to is, you know, snorting ketamine and tweeting it all
41:57
hours of the day and night. The guy's a joke,
42:00
right? He really is a joke. The more I hear
42:03
him talk, I'm... astonished at how dumb Elon Musk is.
42:07
But look at what he did with SpaceX and Starlink
42:11
and all these companies. He's got to be somewhat intelligent.
42:14
The more I hear him talk, the more I'm like,
42:16
holy fucking shit. This dude tripped over his dick. and
42:19
became successful. Wow. Who was that at the end? I
42:23
don't know. That one last guy, I don't know who
42:25
it was. But I do have a clip. This is
42:27
the Musk. Hold on. Hold on. Before you go there.
42:30
The Verge. You know, The Verge. Oh, yeah, The Verge.
42:35
Well, they wrote this article. Let me see if I
42:38
can find it here real quick. Yeah, here it is.
42:41
The world's first trillionaire is a killer! He's a killer?
42:48
Yes. Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO will probably make him the
42:51
richest person ever to walk the planet. And while his
42:53
mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one
42:57
fact in particular stands out. A year ago, Musk's actions
43:00
directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of
43:03
people, and he did it knowingly and worse, gleefully. So
43:09
they... claim here, according to a Boston University professor who...
43:16
did some research. 780,000 deaths, mostly of children, many of
43:22
infants, due to the USAID cuts. Oh, brother. Musk is
43:29
personally responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands. The
43:34
Verge. That is pathetic. What happened to The Verge, man?
43:38
They've always been sketchy. No, that's pretty bad, though. Like,
43:42
geez, give me a break. All right, so I just
43:45
wanted to add that. Yeah, it's pretty slanted. So this
43:47
is, you know, Airy, the guy on, is it CNN
43:50
or MSN? Fleishman? Yeah, that guy. And he's with Thomas
43:54
Friedman, the Nobel Prize guy from the New York Times.
43:57
The economist, yes. The Economist. And so they're going to
44:00
go on and on about what a dumb... This just
44:05
came out. And it's like they're still harping on Musk
44:09
being kind of a dummy. Is there something in your
44:12
view that is wrong, that is immoral, with a certain
44:16
level of singular wealth? accrual whether that's a billion or
44:21
10 billion or now today's the first day we'd ever
44:25
say it should a human have a trillion dollars while
44:29
people starve Well, it certainly seems immoral. You don't have
44:34
to be a believer in perfect equality to think that
44:37
there's something kind of obscene. about this much wealth along
44:40
with this much suffering oh man okay Wealth and suffering.
44:44
It's his fault. It's on paper. Meanwhile, you know, yeah,
44:48
I know. But meanwhile, this much suffering, the people are
44:52
starving. These guys won't say anything about the fraudulent learning
44:57
centers. and the fraudulent daycares and the fraudulent food programs
45:01
that nobody gets the food, which is really where people
45:06
are starving. Well, not only that, but the Department of
45:09
Justice announced a huge investigation with arrests, which I think
45:15
everyone who was interested in. The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein
45:19
would kind of be interested in this. More than 475,000.
45:26
Unaccompanied children enter the United States. during the Biden administration,
45:32
475,000. over 300,000. cannot be accounted for at the end
45:42
of 2024. The way that this happened was typically because
45:48
the criminals calling themselves sponsors trafficked these children to the
45:53
border, usually committing fraud to do so. And oftentimes the
45:58
children were abused, assaulted, and certainly exploited. In some cases,
46:04
individuals would sponsor multiple children, which required them to lie
46:08
to government personnel and on government forms, claiming they were
46:12
close relatives when in fact they were not. They would
46:15
use fake or stolen identities. and make other false claims
46:19
during the application process in order to obtain custody of
46:23
the children. I think I'm stating the obvious, that when
46:29
government fails to protect our borders, it is the most
46:32
vulnerable who suffer. Yeah, but there's no outrage over this,
46:36
or over this one particular... I also want to announce
46:39
today from the same district in Ohio, the Northern District,
46:42
the sentencing of another criminal illegal alien who was convicted,
46:46
also from Guatemala. He was a 27-year-old man who came
46:51
to the United States smuggled in a 14-year-old child by
46:56
submitting. false paperwork and lying on the forms, claiming to
47:00
be her brother, proceeded to sexually assault. This young woman.
47:06
And these two cases, well, only two, help explain how
47:12
what was going on is really the stuff of nightmares.
47:14
Yeah, and not to belabor the point, but here's... A
47:16
clip from DHS Secretary Mullen. Because of our partnership with
47:21
HHS and DOJ, Department of Homeland Security. Truly using the
47:28
best of the best, which the Democrats sometimes want to
47:31
demonize because a lot of times this is ICE, this
47:33
is HSI, this is CBP. These individuals that the Democrats
47:39
seem to want to defund, we found 146,000 kids so
47:43
far. 146,000 kids. We still have nearly 300,000 missing. We're
47:52
investigating reports to where Some of these kids. claim that
47:56
they were raped six to seven hundred times. I don't
48:01
care who you are. I don't care if you have
48:05
kids, if you don't have kids, I don't care if
48:06
you're a liberal, you're independent, you're a Democrat, you're a
48:08
Republican. If you can't stand... for law enforcement to go
48:14
find these kids. Who are you? A Democrat. Who are
48:19
you? So, no one seems to care about this. I
48:22
thought that was... No, they don't care. In fact, they
48:24
encourage it. Well... I mean, you can't say that. I
48:28
mean, that's not true. But it seems as if it
48:31
could be. So there's this theory, and I won't say
48:35
I got it from... Texas Slim, but it did. It
48:38
sounds like a Texas theory already. And if you watch
48:42
Dutton Ranch, we talked about it. That's another Taylor Sheridan.
48:45
a series And what will unfold in this series, spoiler
48:49
alert for anybody who cares about it, is that... the
48:53
10-petal ranch, they are using... cattle operation because they have
48:59
Mexican crossbreeds, not Texas Angus, but Mexican crossbreeds, which they
49:03
bring up from Mexico. And they use that to smuggle
49:07
drugs and people. And... I've received enough information about this
49:13
to think that there's something to it, and that's probably
49:16
where the screwworm... stuff comes from. because there's so much
49:20
cattle being moved from south of our border. that not
49:23
everything is investigated. And they put drugs in the cattle.
49:28
They've got compartments where there's people, could be children, could
49:31
be all kinds of stuff. We're going to see that
49:34
this will be the biggest scandal while, you know, our...
49:37
Our ranchers are being screwed over. the uh this all
49:42
this crap beef from south america and and mecca is
49:45
coming through mexico coming up and is being used as
49:48
giant gigantic smuggling carrier vehicles. And I think, wow, man,
49:57
that's... totally possible that they, because you know, there's so
49:59
much
50:00
Much cattle, they're not going to go into every single
50:02
cattle car and check every single, you know, everything out.
50:06
It's a perfect cover for it. I'm not saying I
50:09
heard that from anybody. By the way, Texas Slim wants
50:11
everybody to know that after six years on the road...
50:14
Thousands of handshakes with ranches across the country. It's going
50:17
to pull back and return for a little bit to
50:19
where all this started. He's resting for 21 days. He
50:24
will be okay. But if you don't hear from him,
50:28
keep an eye on his ex account. He'll be back
50:30
in about three weeks, so he's going to be okay.
50:33
He's going back to the source of the seed. Anyway.
50:38
I think we'll see, we will, this is where, um,
50:41
DHS and all those guys should, they should pay attention
50:44
to the, to the beef industry. And if maybe some
50:47
smuggling is happening through that. As the gossipy women in.
50:54
No, no, none of the women here say. Now on
50:57
the SpaceX IPO. Uh, I have to say... Wow, well
51:01
executed. They did this so well. I don't know if
51:05
you were following any of it. Yeah, of course. So
51:08
the price was set at $135. But they were, I
51:12
mean, you know, because typically they were just running the
51:16
book, getting the book all jacked up, pre-market. It was
51:19
like 170, came out 150, which is. So well done.
51:23
I think it was... Morgan Stanley, I think they're the
51:28
stabilizer. So you've got all these banks, like people unloading
51:32
their shares. They'll buy them up so the price stays
51:34
high. All those SpaceX top employees are wearing green shoes.
51:39
Did you hear any of that? No, I didn't know
51:41
about that. Well, you know what a green shoe is?
51:45
It's a shoe that's colored green. Yeah. So the green
51:47
shoe is named after the green shoe company in 1960.
51:50
They had an IPO. Every IPO has a green shoe,
51:54
but this one was interesting. So the green shoe means
51:56
if the price stays above a certain point for 30
51:59
days, there's an extra tranche. of shares that can be
52:04
sold that the insiders hold, which would be the people
52:08
who literally were wearing green shoes at the IPO. You
52:11
could see them, oh, they're wearing green shoes. The interesting
52:15
thing about this is it's $11 billion worth of shares
52:19
with zero fees going to the underwriter. Somehow Elon got
52:22
that. put together. So if they can keep it above
52:26
150 for 30 days, there's another, just a nice cash
52:29
bonus for everybody. It was so well done. And I
52:34
think it'll be okay. People are focusing more on rockets,
52:39
rockets, and not on the XIA. xai part But I
52:45
think very quietly the bubble... popped Yes, I think it's
52:56
popping. Would you like to... You'd like to hear why?
52:59
Yeah, I'd love to hear why. Okay. So it started
53:02
with the... You know what happens when a bubble pops,
53:05
right? Yeah, it goes pop. And kids cry. Yeah, a
53:09
lot of kids cry. I think it's... I really believe
53:13
it's still... It's happening. And I'll just tell you why.
53:17
Anthropic and OpenAI are waiting for their public offerings. And
53:22
their entire model is built on charging people for using
53:25
their stuff. And we all know that the model there
53:28
doesn't work. People are paying maybe 10 or 100x less
53:34
than it actually costs. And there's all these data centers
53:37
and there's hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers.
53:40
The first... Clue came from the Apple WWDC. I think
53:47
they still call it a keynote. Now the whole thing...
53:51
It's like lame. Oh, we've got liquid glass and you
53:54
have this. Who cares? But, and then, oh, we fixed
53:58
Siri. But forget Siri. Siri is just the front of
54:02
what's happening with the hardware that Apple is building with
54:06
their own silicon chips. This is a... the guy who
54:09
co-founded Siri before they sold it to Apple. And I
54:13
think he's telling us what is happening. sort of a
54:22
data cap, if you will, which I assume you can
54:24
probably buy out of. But it gets to this idea
54:27
of the utility relative to the cost. Do you think
54:29
they're going to find a way to, I guess, strike
54:32
that balance for the consumer? Yeah, I think 80 to
54:35
90 percent of every query that you're going to use
54:39
as a consumer. you'll be able to run on an
54:42
on-device model, which means you have essentially a data center
54:46
in your pocket. There you go. You got a data
54:48
center in your pocket. This is where Apple is moving.
54:51
And then we had this. strange thing happened just on
54:57
Friday with Anthropic with their incredibly dangerous model mythos now
55:03
renamed Fable 5, where they withdrew the model from use.
55:07
Anthropic marketed their latest product as dangerous. That's come back
55:11
to bite them. We are complying with the government's legal
55:14
directive and are removing access to Fable 5 and Mythos
55:18
5 for all users. Just days ago, the... artificial intelligence
55:22
company rolled out its most advanced chatbot, Fable 5. It's
55:26
meant to be a safer version of Mythos, an AI
55:28
model it withheld from general release, claiming it posed significant
55:32
cybersecurity risks. In recent weeks, Anthropicus insisted on more industry
55:36
oversight, even enlisting the support of the Pope, and floated
55:40
the option to pause advanced AI developments. Right now, it's
55:44
like the AI industry has a gas pedal, but it
55:47
doesn't have a brake pedal in the car. And what
55:49
we're saying is we want to do some of the
55:51
work required to build that brake pedal so we in
55:54
the world have an option. Now the US government has
55:57
ordered Anthropic to suspend access to Fable and Mythos for
56:01
foreigners citing national security concerns. As a result, it's been
56:05
abruptly disabled for everyone. It escalates a dispute with the
56:08
Trump administration, which began when Anthropic insisted its tech should
56:12
not be used for lethal autonomous weapons. Anthropic is run
56:15
by an ideological lunatic who shouldn't have a sole decision
56:20
making over what we do. It's also an escalation in
56:23
American efforts to stop China from accessing advanced AI and
56:27
catching up in the race to control the all-important technology.
56:31
Okay, so I think that Anthropic made a very, very
56:33
bad mistake here. So people were, you know, you could
56:36
select your model, you got your Opus 4.8, your Sonnet,
56:40
whatever, and there's... Fable 5 and everybody's like, oh, this
56:43
is great. We're using it because of course it's not
56:46
dangerous. This is Chad GPT-2, they said, that was going
56:50
to kill everybody in the world. Nothing has happened. No
56:54
one's lost it. Yes, people have lost their job, but
56:56
overall, more engineers are being hired. There's all kinds of
57:00
things that are just not turning out to be true.
57:02
with this very scary AI. But if you are in
57:05
enterprise... and all of a sudden your model goes away
57:10
that you've been using, that you've built something on, you're
57:13
going to think twice about this. And so the all-in
57:17
pod, yes. I have to bring some clips from the
57:20
all-in pod. Yeah, I have to. As an aside, Jason
57:24
Calacanis is a great Bernie Sanders. He really nails that.
57:29
It's not in this clip, but he really nails it.
57:31
So... uh What's happening is Anthropic is now looking at
57:37
your prompts. Not just your prompts, but your entire context
57:42
window. and deciding if you should be able to use
57:45
a model or not. which, you know, they could censor
57:50
you out of a model if they feel that, oh,
57:53
you're asking about DNA or chemical processes, you may be
58:00
a terrorist, bloop, we're going to turn you off of
58:01
that model. And nobody wants this who's running a business
58:05
and relies on it. I think that it creates... A
58:09
pretty obvious risk now. And I think that obvious risk
58:14
is twofold. One, is anthropic has essentially shown their hand.
58:20
which is that they will increasingly Take in props. evaluate
58:27
the prompts, and decide what to do with them before
58:31
they generate output to you. And I think If you
58:35
were a person, you should generally now think there's a
58:40
risk of censorship. If you're a company, I think it's
58:45
almost a non-starter. And the reason is because you could
58:49
accidentally trip one of these things. without even knowing it.
58:53
A downstream scientist using the quad APIs could trip it.
58:58
A business executive inside your corporation could trip it. A
59:01
person doing scientific molecular research could trip it, and all
59:04
of a sudden, you'll get cut off. from a very
59:08
important source of business differentiation for yourself. So I think
59:13
if you take both of those two things together. We're
59:16
at this very unique moment in time where I think
59:19
companies need to start underwriting. this next phase of AI,
59:24
which is, how do I have control? Who am I
59:28
allowing to learn off of all of this information? Do
59:32
I want to have single point of failure risk? With
59:35
respect to AI, And I think the answer is that
59:38
you need broad diversity and a governance approach that's better
59:42
managed. So all of these guys in this all-in pod,
59:45
you know, David Sachs, who was the crypto slash AI
59:49
czar, that was Chamath. He's some Silicon Valley hotshot investor.
59:53
Of course, there's J. Cal, who doesn't love him. And
59:56
then there's this dude, Freeberg. And I'm not sure who
59:59
Freeburg lives in.
1:00:00
California and he has a company that does DNA exploration
1:00:05
on plants. He's trying to build better potatoes or something.
1:00:08
But he sees exactly where this has to go and
1:00:11
how it actually doesn't benefit American companies. It benefits the
1:00:15
Chinese. Over the last couple of weeks, they've begun to
1:00:19
restrict. the ability to use the models to do that
1:00:21
work. And the premise is that there's some sort of
1:00:24
bioweapon type risk that folks have theorized could happen using
1:00:29
these tools. And as a result, we're losing the capacity
1:00:32
to use these models for this very important scientific development
1:00:36
work. As a result... we are likely going to end
1:00:40
up needing to use open source models and run them
1:00:42
locally ourselves. So the reason I walk through all of
1:00:45
that is so people can really understand the context of
1:00:47
what's going to happen here. As folks like Anthropic say,
1:00:51
hey, we're going to restrict access or censor the output
1:00:54
of these models, it is going to force companies like
1:00:57
ourselves. who still want to take advantage of the capability
1:01:00
of these LLMs to go and get open source tools
1:01:03
and run them. And what are the best open source
1:01:05
models today? They're Chinese. Yeah, they are. And that is
1:01:08
a major concern. The American open source models are not
1:01:12
as good as the Chinese open source models. So the
1:01:14
restrictions that Anthropic and others are putting upon themselves... upon
1:01:17
the industry is forcing a lot of companies to go
1:01:21
and get open source Chinese models and run them. We're
1:01:23
seeing this across the landscape with startups, with large scale
1:01:27
enterprises. Everyone's making that move. And it's true. If you
1:01:30
look at YouTube, there's hundreds of videos, 15 minutes to
1:01:34
an hour long, people explaining how you run this on
1:01:36
your computer. can run models on your phone, how you
1:01:39
can build your own chat bot. It's not that hard
1:01:42
to do actually. And they're all saying, well, we can't
1:01:45
trust Anthropic. We can't trust any of these things. And
1:01:48
these models are pretty good. If you just want a
1:01:50
chat bot that can do searches, it's very easy to
1:01:53
put together. But it's this last one, David Sachs, who...
1:01:57
who flags what Anthropic may really be trying to do,
1:02:01
which I think is stupid if it's true, but they're
1:02:03
trying to build a moat around what they have by...
1:02:07
Cozying up to the government saying, we need regulation. You're
1:02:10
missing one piece of it, which is at the same
1:02:12
time that Anthropic was... engaging in mandatory surveillance and nerfing
1:02:17
its models. Dario wrote a new blog post. Oh, gosh.
1:02:22
saying that transparency was no longer good enough, that we
1:02:25
needed to have a new regulatory agency like an FAA
1:02:30
or maybe an FDA to approve all models. So your
1:02:34
presumption there is correct. Yes, if you could go somewhere
1:02:38
else. to get your questions answered, then you would have
1:02:41
alternatives. But at the same time that Anthropic is engaging
1:02:46
in this potentially anti-competitive behavior, they want to restrict your
1:02:50
options. It's not good enough for them just to win
1:02:52
in the free market. They're calling on the government to
1:02:55
regulate and stop potential competitors. and limit the number of
1:02:59
models that you have access to. And why would they
1:03:01
do that? Why would they want to get regulated? The
1:03:04
answer, super simple. They want to apply that regulation to
1:03:09
open source, which is impossible. But this would be a
1:03:11
great way to scuttle and sandbag open source models because
1:03:16
they don't have the ability to be regulated. preemptive strike
1:03:19
against token maxing on your local machine. So my thesis
1:03:23
is that people have seen it. People have seen the
1:03:26
success you can get with an open source model running
1:03:30
on your Mac Mini, running on your iPhone, running on
1:03:34
your Linux. It can run on anything. There's a lot
1:03:38
of movement towards that. And this is what we always
1:03:40
see in computing, only this is at hyperspeed. You go
1:03:43
from centralized to decentralized, from decentralized to centralized. And I
1:03:47
think we're already going into decentralized mode. before these guys
1:03:51
can even get public. Someone's going to report on this
1:03:55
on CNBC at some point. People are going to go,
1:03:58
hmm, what is really happening here? Let's listen to this
1:04:01
clip from NPR on how Anthropic got banned by the
1:04:06
government so I can put it in context. Anthropic abruptly
1:04:10
shut down its latest AI models after the Trump administration
1:04:13
banned the use of those by foreign nationals. And here's
1:04:16
John Rewich reports. According to a statement from Anthropic, the
1:04:19
government's directive cited unspecified national security concerns. It ordered a
1:04:23
suspension of access by foreign nationals to Anthropic's Fable 5
1:04:27
and Mythos 5 models. That includes foreigners inside and outside
1:04:31
the U.S. and even foreigners working for Anthropic. The Mythos
1:04:35
AI model has been a source of buzz in recent
1:04:37
months. Anthropic decided not to release it to the public
1:04:40
in March because the company believed it could potentially help
1:04:43
hackers exploit computer security flaws. So it came up with
1:04:47
a workaround. Fable 5, an advanced model with extensive safeguards,
1:04:51
was released this week. Anthropic says it thinks the government
1:04:55
is concerned that there may be a way to jailbreak.
1:04:57
the model to get around those safeguards, but Anthropic says
1:05:01
it disagrees with the ban. Okay, I have thoughts, but
1:05:04
you wanted to put it into context and give comments.
1:05:06
No, I don't have any thoughts. Tell me your thoughts.
1:05:09
Um... First of all, it looks like the Trump administration
1:05:13
is purposely trying to blow something up. This, let's start
1:05:17
with the bass. This marketing hype of, oh, Mythos is
1:05:20
so dangerous, we can only give it to the top
1:05:22
five biggest banks under Project Glasswing. No one else can
1:05:25
have it. Then they release it with guardrails. But they've
1:05:29
done tons of experiments with the same prompts for free
1:05:33
BSD vulnerabilities, and all the other models found the vulnerabilities
1:05:38
too. So it's not like they have something super special.
1:05:42
They don't. And when, you know. I'm not I haven't
1:05:47
seen the exact order or request or what it is
1:05:50
by the Trump administration, but they could solve that in
1:05:54
multiple ways. You know, it's no different from a bank
1:05:57
account like, OK, we need to know your. customer are
1:05:59
you a foreign national let me check your record show
1:06:02
us your id etc even then that's kind of wishy-washy
1:06:06
But then they turned it, that was the mistake. They
1:06:08
were all just going to turn it off. I think
1:06:10
those guys are crazy. They never should have done that.
1:06:13
They should have at least fought that, but they didn't.
1:06:17
So they want to build some. kind of moat around
1:06:20
their super dangerous stuff. but it's really having the adverse
1:06:24
effect. People are like, oh, okay, QEN 3.6 works fine
1:06:27
for me. I get the same results. All it's doing
1:06:30
is building tools and using web searches. The corpus is
1:06:34
no longer important. It's just not. You get your open
1:06:37
model. You can adjust the weight. You can put whatever
1:06:39
you want in there. I think it's maybe a slow
1:06:42
leak then, but the bubble is going to pop based
1:06:45
upon what's happening here from the data center to the
1:06:48
desktop and in your pocket. short now. Oh wait, they're
1:06:52
not public. Well, you said the bubble popped. Now you're
1:06:59
saying it's... Leaking. Well, pop. People didn't hear it pop
1:07:03
yet. I think I saw this. None of this makes
1:07:07
sense. Well, if it doesn't make sense, that means there's
1:07:10
probably something we don't know. Well, the thing I know,
1:07:13
I've been working on it with it extensively, is these
1:07:16
local models work very well, and if a pod... Podcaster,
1:07:20
disc jockey, VJ can figure it out. Other people can.
1:07:24
I watch the YouTube video. I like the way you
1:07:27
do that bit. I'm just a podcaster, man. Podcaster, DJ.
1:07:32
VJ. VJ. Oh, yeah, VJ. Who's always been kind of
1:07:38
a nerd. Yeah, but everybody's a nerd these days. Look,
1:07:43
you can just go watch a YouTube video. The guys
1:07:45
explain exactly how to do it. Like, oh, I click
1:07:47
on this, I click on that, I download that, and
1:07:49
now it's working. That's what the whole OpenClaw thing was.
1:07:52
It does a lot of good stuff on YouTube. Yeah,
1:07:55
I should do a YouTube channel. VJ Hacking. Anyway, that's
1:08:01
just my thoughts. Okay, well, good. Because you have so
1:08:06
many opinions, I have to give you this. It's not
1:08:09
an Ask Adam. But I did a three by three,
1:08:12
even though he says two by two, I don't know
1:08:15
why that happened. Three is just a typo. It's the...
1:08:19
It's the stuff they use to put you to sleep,
1:08:21
man. That stuff. I talked about these before. These are
1:08:27
the openers. Let's do the jingle first. Now it's time
1:08:29
for 3x3. Experiment by CD. Confirming stories from ABC, CBS,
1:08:37
and NBC. Okay, these are the three biggest stories. These
1:08:45
are the openings of the three networks for Friday's show.
1:08:48
Friday's news shows, the Amish, you know, Tom Yamas and
1:08:52
the rest of them. Yeah. I want e- I want
1:08:58
you to pay careful attention because there's... The main stories
1:09:01
that took place were the Knicks upsetting. Yes. Not the
1:09:08
game that just played yesterday, but the game before. And
1:09:11
they must be becoming a trillionaire. Tornadoes in the Midwest.
1:09:15
And one or two other stories. It turns out that
1:09:19
they're not as matched. as you might think. They're not
1:09:22
even close to being the same length. ABC stretching it
1:09:26
to over two minutes. Yeah, it's long. And CBS keeping
1:09:31
it short at 120. They have more ad load. And
1:09:36
so I want you to tell me which is the
1:09:40
best. because my opinion has always been NBC's done the
1:09:44
best job, but after listening to these three, I can't
1:09:47
say that anymore. And the blend is totally different from
1:09:51
network to network. Let's start with the long one with
1:09:54
ABC. Tonight, the severe storm threat for millions as we
1:09:58
come on the air more than...
1:10:00
90 million on alert from the Midwest into the Northeast.
1:10:03
That's very good. You start, we come on the air.
1:10:05
That's urgency. It's well-written. I like it. Start with death
1:10:08
and destruction with the storm. Very good. Come on the
1:10:11
air. More than 90 million on alert from the Midwest
1:10:13
into the Northeast. A tornado watch across multiple states. Pounding
1:10:17
rain, violent winds into the 9th and through 10th. Lee
1:10:21
Goldberg is tracking it all. hours after President Trump threatened
1:10:26
a major escalation in the war in Iran, his sudden
1:10:28
about-face calling off new military strikes. The president now says
1:10:32
a deal with Iran could be in place as early
1:10:34
as this weekend. and rock an entire neighborhood, a massive
1:10:44
fireball, at least nine homes damaged. for the next director

A famous song inspiring the name of her brand. And

Spurs, the faces of the Knicks fans tell the story.
1:11:59
Wow. PISCINU Okay. This is World News Tonight with David
1:12:08
Muir. Interim review. Just as I was getting upset, I
1:12:13
was going to say, where is the human interest story,
1:12:16
which is typically lost puppy found. kitten in the tree
1:12:22
something that warms your heart we got Dolly Parton we
1:12:26
got the Knicks you know after we had the Knicks
1:12:28
destroy the city then we had they did the Knicks
1:12:31
twice in this tease but they did the horrible story
1:12:34
and then the kind of uplifting story everyone likes an
1:12:37
uplifting sports story what caught my ear was Dolly Parton's
1:12:41
coffee brand based upon a famous song. I've not heard
1:12:44
it, but I'm just guessing. Is the song Jolene and
1:12:46
she sings caffeine? No. It's funny though. Caffeine. Caffeine. Caffeine.
1:12:54
I love caffeine. That's what I would have done if
1:12:57
I were naming her coffee. So they got, they covered
1:12:59
pretty much every, thing except where's Elon Musk's trillionaire? No,
1:13:04
it's not in there. Good catch. It's not in there.
1:13:06
No, wait, this was from Friday night? Yeah. This is
1:13:09
all from Friday. This is all after the trillionaire thing
1:13:12
happened. Should have been in there. Should have been in
1:13:13
there. Okay, which is next? Well, let's go to the
1:13:16
next longest one, which would be NBC. Breaking news as
1:13:21
we come on the air. They also, as we come
1:13:24
on the air, I don't think I've heard him say
1:13:26
that in two different reports. And we need to start
1:13:29
doing that. They're all doing this. As we come on
1:13:31
the air here for your pod. Breaking news as we
1:13:34
come on the air. President Trump saying a deal with
1:13:37
Iran could be signed as soon as... The president announcing
1:13:41
the deal is almost finalized and that he's called off
1:13:44
another round of strikes set for tonight. What Iran is
1:13:48
now saying about this deal? Tornadoes tearing across the Midwest,
1:13:53
one ripping the roof off this home. Pool chairs flying

1:14:31
World Cup kickoff, we're there for the first game. going

wild with protesters. Outside the stadium. Our series, The Cost

White House cage match, our first up-close look at the
1:15:05
octagon ahead of the big UFC fight this weekend. And
1:15:09
there's good news tonight, the biggest comeback NBA Finals history,
1:15:14
sending famous fans like Jimmy Fallon, Larry David, and Taylor
1:15:18
Swift into a frenzy. Nightly news starts right now. This
1:15:26
is NBC Nightly News with Tom Yamas. Okay, analysis here.
1:15:29
I love how their music bed has so much tension
1:15:33
when it starts off. But they don't have, like ABC
1:15:38
had symbols and crash and they had now. pops and
1:15:41
all kinds of stuff. And after you hear that... Well,
1:15:44
they did have a couple of nat pops during the
1:15:46
tornado thing where you heard someone in the background say,
1:15:49
oh my God! Yeah, yeah, some of that. But what
1:15:54
happens is... The music bed gets in the way of
1:15:59
that at a certain point because it... If you can't
1:16:02
continuously be telling me about death, destruction, we're all going
1:16:05
to die, we're coming on this news at this hour,
1:16:07
then it gets boring and then you kind of lose
1:16:11
interest. And they should have shifted the music when he
1:16:14
says, and now some good news. You know, do something
1:16:17
different there. So that's just my opinion as a television
1:16:20
producer. They did have the World Cup mentioned, which ABC
1:16:26
did not mention. Yes, that's correct. Which is good news.
1:16:30
And no Elon. And they did not have Elon. No,
1:16:34
no Elon. Yo, Elon! Yes. So we have, so you
1:16:38
can see there's a slight difference. editorial room where they
1:16:42
make these decisions is varied enough that it's kind of
1:16:46
entertaining to try to see what one, like the Phil
1:16:50
Mickelson story was not in the ABC report and it's
1:16:54
no place else. And in a Medicare breakdown. And Yamas
1:16:58
doesn't have that intensity. I like Yamush. Yeah, but I'm
1:17:03
just saying. If I would have said, take this back,
1:17:06
recut it, boys, it's not good enough. Now, CBS, I
1:17:09
haven't heard these, obviously. CBS has been really good with
1:17:13
quick nat pops and quick words from people in their
1:17:17
reports. So I'm curious about their news. They're open. And
1:17:22
are they coming on the air at this moment? We'll
1:17:24
find out. I'm Matt Gutman in for Tony DeCoppo. you
1:17:31
at least one person killed and 10 wounded in West
1:17:36
Texas. The moment a storm chaser saved a man trapped
1:17:47
under the rubble of a collapsed house. Tens of millions
1:17:50
in the path of potentially dangerous storms and brutal heat.
1:17:54
SpaceX blasting off in an historic stock IPO, making Elon
1:17:59
Musk the world's first trillionaire. Why some are concerned about
1:18:02
the unprecedented wealth and power in one person's hands. That
1:18:07
possible peace deal with Iran looking more likely tonight. Iran
1:18:11
says an agreement has never been closer. But will it
1:18:14
actually happen? What the president is warning tonight. World Cup
1:18:19
fever spikes. The U.S. men's team faces. Katy Perry starting
1:18:24
the party at the opening ceremony. We have a bond
1:18:29
that we think no one else can break. From CBS
1:18:40
News Headquarters in New York. This is the CBS Evening
1:18:45
News with Tony DiCoppo. Okay, bad start because they didn't
1:18:47
come on the air at this moment. Very poor. They
1:18:50
should have at least replicated that. I agree. I love
1:18:54
how they brought in early. Early, they whipsawed you by
1:18:57
saying, you know, destruction, tornadoes, how a storm... chaser save
1:19:02
somebody's life? Yeah, okay, I'm interested. Then they went into
1:19:05
Elon, good, and then immediately contrasted that with he might
1:19:09
have too much power. But then what was this with
1:19:12
the twins at the end? The whole thing fell apart.
1:19:15
What was that story? Their story at the end is
1:19:18
the human interest story. which they tease, only ABC and
1:19:23
CBS tease the human interest today, because NBC usually does,
1:19:28
but they didn't on... on Friday. It's just a lame
1:19:33
story. Steve Hartman is the guy that, you know, is
1:19:36
like Charles Kuralt used to be on the road and
1:19:39
he's out, you know, Charles Kuralt, of course. two families,
1:19:43
famously. Yes. And he was on the road so he
1:19:46
could go. Which was just... Honey, I'm home! Yeah, I'm
1:19:51
home, honey. I gotta go on the road again. Can
1:19:55
you imagine? There's a lot of people like that, though.
1:19:58
You keep hearing those stories. I guess.
1:20:00
It seems like a lot of work. It seems like
1:20:04
way too much work. One family is more than I
1:20:07
need. Thank you. I just thought it didn't, but it
1:20:12
missed a lot. It didn't have anything about the Knicks.
1:20:15
No. uh it didn't have anything about it was weak
1:20:19
it was very but he had the main story the
1:20:20
main stories were i thought tornado musk Tornado, Iran, those
1:20:27
are the three big ones, and then World Cup is
1:20:30
optional. I don't know. CBS was the worst. I really
1:20:34
thought ABC was the best, even though it was long.
1:20:38
I thought it was the best. they really packed it
1:20:41
all in for me. I thought it was the best
1:20:41
too, except that it left the Elon off. So let's
1:20:45
listen to the top of the show on MS Now,
1:20:47
shall we? Because this is the one story that none
1:20:50
of your 3x3s or 2x2s even had, and that is
1:20:53
this. And for that, we switch to Circleback Saki. So
1:20:57
this was the crowd that gathered outside of the Kennedy
1:20:59
Center this morning. To watch as workers set up scaffolding
1:21:02
to strip Trump's name from the building. No one had
1:21:05
Trump's name being stripped from the building. There were people
1:21:08
out there watching at night, standing there, waiting, waiting, waiting
1:21:13
for this. Yes. Online, literally millions of people, we've talked
1:21:17
about this already, watched the live streams for hours, which
1:21:19
is remarkable. Given the big action they were watching was
1:21:22
basically scaffolding being built. Now in person, there were cheers,
1:21:27
there was a drag queen, there were bubbles. Who says
1:21:29
D.C. isn't fun? There's lots of fun people here. Why
1:21:33
do lefties, I wouldn't call her Democrats, but why will
1:21:36
lefties... Always associate arts with drag queens. and bubbles and
1:21:42
rainbows. Why? It annoys me. It really does. It annoys
1:21:48
me. Yeah, I guess it would. It would annoy anybody.
1:22:01
like quite the party. And there to celebrate her victory
1:22:04
was Democratic Congresswoman from Ohio, Joyce Beatty. You see, the
1:22:07
reason any of this is really happening today is because
1:22:10
Joyce Beatty is on the board of the Kennedy Center,
1:22:12
and when Trump's new appointees to that board added his
1:22:14
name to the center, she sued, arguing that legally, an
1:22:18
act of Congress was required to rename the building. And
1:22:21
last saying, quote, "Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name,
1:22:25
and only Congress can change it." leadership at the Kennedy
1:22:33
Center tried to get that decision paused. scaffolding had been
1:22:41
built and workers were ready to start peeling off Trump's
1:22:44
name, the Trump-appointed leadership at the Kennedy Center tried again.
1:22:47
They appealed the decision. Tonight, that appeal was rejected. And
1:22:52
I kid you not, moments after that final appeal was
1:22:55
rejected, a literal rainbow appeared across the Kennedy Center. A
1:23:01
double rainbow, actually. Oh! The gay god approves! This is...
1:23:07
this is... man That is pathetic. Talk about banal. So
1:23:15
this... Beatty woman, she's the one that sued over this.
1:23:19
Everybody, all the... Is she the transgender? Is she? I
1:23:24
don't know. There is one in Congress. There might be.
1:23:26
Let's see what she has to say. Why do you
1:23:28
think he keeps focusing on these things? I think it's
1:23:32
because it's who he is. I think that having this
1:23:36
role has made him to himself. This is a fantasy
1:23:41
project. Having this role has made him to himself. She's
1:23:46
a- What? So she's illiterate, whoever she is. Yeah, listen
1:23:51
to her. I think that having this role has made
1:23:55
him to himself. Whoa! Ding, ding, ding. Hold on a
1:24:00
second. This is a vanity project for him. All the
1:24:06
gold in the White House, tearing down historical rooms and
1:24:12
venues that have been there. What? tearing down historical rooms
1:24:18
and venues that have been there. Jeez. She is captured,
1:24:22
man. She's captured by something that it's not based in
1:24:25
reality. Tearing down historical rooms and venues that have been
1:24:30
there and putting what I think he calls his trademark
1:24:34
on it. So I think it's all about him that
1:24:38
he wants people to always remember that he was there.
1:24:41
Not what he did, not how he fought for the
1:24:44
country, and not how he stood up for our democracy
1:24:47
and the rule of law. He wants to be a
1:24:49
dictatorship, and that's what dictators do. He wants to be
1:24:52
a dictatorship. He doesn't want to be a dictator. He
1:24:55
wants to be a dictatorship. A whole dictatorship all together.
1:24:59
And then we wind it out with the Ms. Now.
1:25:00
crew. I'm listening to him. I wrote down here split
1:25:03
screen. I keep going back to the reporting of Susie
1:25:08
Wiles, the chief of staff, basically saying to everyone in
1:25:13
the administration, listen, let Trump be Trump. But you guys
1:25:18
relentlessly focus on the economy. At what point will someone
1:25:23
realize, perhaps the chief of staff, that having that kind
1:25:26
of split screen in any White House, but particularly this
1:25:31
White House, is what's fueling this anger? Because you can't
1:25:36
have the President of the United States with the biggest
1:25:38
megaphone out there with his... This gladiator fight, I'm so
1:25:42
glad you said that. The gladiator fight on the South
1:25:44
Lawn and saying in the Oval Office, I love the
1:25:47
inflation. And meanwhile, people can't buy gas. They're having trouble
1:25:52
meeting their payments. At what point will the White House
1:25:55
say, you know what, we need a unified message here,
1:25:58
a strategy? Do people watch? That's the K-Part guy. No,
1:26:07
is that the K-Part guy? Yeah, that was K-Part. I
1:26:10
can't tell if it's K-Part or the guy with the
1:26:12
fro. I can't tell. It's hard to tell them apart.
1:26:15
I thought the trend day Aragua. Uh, killing? Nino Guerrero.
1:26:24
I thought that got underplayed a lot. Well, before you
1:26:28
drift over there, I have a couple of clips. Since
1:26:31
you played an idiot. Oh, boy. Listen to him catch
1:26:37
the cue. Wow. Well, that's because the troll room was
1:26:40
already doing over-unders on these. clips. Ha! Ha! That's good.
1:26:47
I think he could do calci bets. Will Dvorak play
1:26:50
a Whatever Girls clip? I have two Whatever Girls clips
1:26:54
for today's show. Oh, man, I could have made a
1:26:56
killing. You could have made a killing. Yeah, on the
1:27:00
prop bed business. Yes. Because, you know, we just played
1:27:05
a dummy. So let's hear these women who... What you're
1:27:08
saying is future representatives of our country is who we're
1:27:11
going to listen to. Yes, the girls who, some of
1:27:14
them did not really pay much attention in grammar school.
1:27:18
Okay. - She's like, "Oh, is that the cue?" How
1:27:23
many planets are in our solar system? Oh, goodness. Nein.
1:27:30
Like 25. Okay. Like currently. I do kind of like
1:27:34
how when they say something stupid, the guy goes, okay.
1:27:38
Yeah, that's a good bit. Okay. Okay. But currently? A
1:27:44
hundred years ago. Yes, currently. The government building the Pentagon
1:27:50
is what shape? Like the pyramid. It's like a pyramid,
1:27:54
okay. What country is directly north of Mexico? Like Spain.
1:28:00
That's not too far from Tel Aviv. How many months
1:28:03
are in a year, Gemma? Fifteen. Twelve, sometimes thirteen. It
1:28:07
really just depends on if we have a leap year.
1:28:09
She said fifteen. Twelve, sometimes thirteen. She's on some weird,
1:28:12
like, Greek, ancient Greek calendar or some shit. How many
1:28:16
sides does a triangle have? Oh, that's a real hard
1:28:19
one. Um, four? What country gifted the Statue of Liberty
1:28:22
to... the United States starting with you. Tel Aviv. That's
1:28:26
not a country, mother. No, that actually was Italy. England.
1:28:31
Again. I remain this is a national security issue. These
1:28:36
children cannot be walking around the streets. They need to
1:28:39
be educated right away. And it's not the... It's not
1:28:43
that they don't know the facts, you know, these trivia
1:28:46
questions. It's how they bounce around guessing on stuff. That's
1:28:53
a great observation. Yes, because in fact they get into
1:28:56
an argument. One of them says, well, it's 13 months
1:28:59
in a year, depending on whether it's a leap year.
1:29:02
Where do you get that? that and the other one
1:29:04
says no it's 15 months in a year you don't
1:29:07
know how many months there are in a year Tel
1:29:10
Aviv And Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv. How does that get
1:29:15
in their brain? Well, this is what happens when you
1:29:18
doom scroll all day. And your stuff just sticks there,
1:29:21
like Tel Aviv. Okay. scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. The nine
1:29:26
planets, scroll, scroll. I'm surprised no one said, well, third
1:29:30
rock from the sun is Mars because that was a
1:29:33
good TV show. This is... Yeah, the third rock from
1:29:38
the center, of course. Yes. Is Earth. Well, no, but
1:29:44
this is what I expect them to say. Yeah, you
1:29:46
need to say something like that, sure. Okay, let's go
1:29:49
to the next one. More uplifting clips from Tennessee. More
1:29:52
uplifting clips. Name three countries besides the USA, starting with
1:29:57
you. Texas, Mexico.
1:30:01
England? Israel, Europe. I also have to say, I don't
1:30:05
know, Texas too. How many continents are there? Four. Six.
1:30:09
One. Name one continent. Russia. What two countries border the
1:30:15
USA? South America and North America. Israel and Germany. How
1:30:22
many states in the USA? What is it, 57 or
1:30:25
something? 13. What is the capital of the USA, Gemma?
1:30:30
Of the USA? Yeah. Like British Columbia. That's ridiculous. Now
1:30:39
they're just being silly. I was just being silly. Were
1:30:43
they in hot pants? No, they never show their overall
1:30:48
attire just to waist up. Unless they get up or
1:30:52
get thrown off the show. This is... Why don't they
1:30:57
ever get dumb boys? Are boys not stupid like this?
1:31:00
Is this? only women? Oh, they could do some women
1:31:05
could do. There's not all the women are. I mean,
1:31:07
they have a he has a bunch of women on
1:31:09
his side of the of the dais, basically, that that
1:31:13
are smart and they're condemning these girls constantly. There was
1:31:17
a good debate recently where one of them says, how
1:31:19
do you ever expect to get married? You don't even
1:31:21
know. And she just blathered, nails her with all her
1:31:24
stupidities. It's a weird show. It's too long to watch.
1:31:31
I warn you, my friend. I warn you. This is
1:31:33
contagious. Don't watch too much of this. I only get
1:31:35
the clips from their feed. Don't watch too much of
1:31:38
this. Because the feed has these occasional... Q&As, which I
1:31:43
think are just man on the street stuff, which is
1:31:46
always good for a laugh. But it's, like you said,
1:31:51
it borderlines a national security issue. I'd vote for him.
1:31:56
No problem. Uh, so... Tulsi Gabbard made a statement. Oh,
1:32:02
yeah, this was great. Which I clipped it down to
1:32:05
three bite-sized bits because it was about three minutes. Yeah,
1:32:08
she talks long. Too long, too long. And you know
1:32:11
what she misses? I mean, it could have been AI.
1:32:15
I actually had the robot check it out. She is
1:32:17
very AI robotic. That's a problem. She doesn't have a
1:32:20
lot of impact when she speaks. No, I mean, she'd
1:32:22
be saying... 120 US funded biolabs in 30 countries people!
1:32:26
This is insane what's going on! No, instead... After months
1:32:30
of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I'm
1:32:34
releasing new evidence of long-standing US government funding of more
1:32:38
than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries. Now these biolabs
1:32:43
include labs in places like Ukraine, which could be at
1:32:46
risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. In
1:32:50
fact, the intelligence community had previously warned that a U.S.-funded
1:32:54
biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable
1:33:00
to long-standing threats of Russian attacks. seizure or damage. Part
1:33:04
of the problem here is that we know all this.
1:33:07
This was this when we were taught we were talking
1:33:09
about this years ago. Like, oh, yeah, then the Russians
1:33:12
is, you know, you got to be careful. They can
1:33:14
blow up these bio labs. What kind of files do
1:33:17
we have to unearth to prove this? We all knew
1:33:20
it. It wasn't proved. It was... It never was proved.
1:33:24
It was just, you know, there's conspiracy theorists who are
1:33:27
out there talking about it. Podcasts. But the White House,
1:33:31
when Jen Psaki was, there's actually clips of her saying,
1:33:35
no, there's no, we don't do any of that. This
1:33:37
is bull crap. This is a conspiracy theory by a
1:33:40
bunch of right-wing nuts. I'm trying to see what clips
1:33:44
we had about bio labs. But yeah, there was a
1:33:49
couple of nasty ones in Ukraine. Yeah. Ah, we see.
1:33:59
What do we have here? This is interesting. What is
1:34:01
this? So here are the facts. Ukraine owns and operates
1:34:06
its own public health laboratory infrastructure. These facilities make it
1:34:11
possible to detect and diagnose diseases. Who is this? Can
1:34:16
you tell by the voice? I can barely hear it.
1:34:19
You got to turn it up a little bit. It's
1:34:21
the U.S. I think it's the black woman who is
1:34:24
the ambassador to the United Nations. Like COVID-19, which benefit
1:34:28
us all. The United States has assisted Ukraine to do
1:34:32
this safely and securely. This is work that has been
1:34:36
done proudly, clearly, and out in the open. This work
1:34:41
has... everything to do with protecting the health of people.
1:34:45
It has absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing to do with biological
1:34:51
weapons. And then we have a clip from Lavrov. Might
1:34:54
have paid attention to him back in the day. It
1:34:57
has arrived there and we have data that Pentagon... The
1:35:02
Pentagon is preoccupied about the chemical and biological installations in
1:35:08
Ukraine because Pentagon built two biological war labs and they
1:35:13
have been developing pathogens there. All right, so we didn't
1:35:18
believe that either, although we did. Yeah, we did. We
1:35:21
did. Because it's logical. It's what you do. You don't
1:35:25
have to be a genius to add two and two.
1:35:28
So here's the second part of Tulsi's statement, which should
1:35:32
have been, these idiots were building gain-of-function labs. They're doing
1:35:38
gain-of-function, hidden from the public, despite... Despite the laws... Illegal
1:35:43
gain of function, let's get that word in there. Despite
1:35:45
executive orders, it was completely illegal, but no, here's Telsey.
1:35:49
Until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of
1:35:53
these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from you, the American
1:35:57
people. Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs... are currently... From
1:36:02
you, the American people. ...or have previously engaged... It's terrible.
1:36:06
It's like, they withheld this from you. This is dangerous.
1:36:10
Can you believe these a-holes? They withheld it from you.
1:36:13
Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs are currently or have
1:36:17
previously engaged in research using hazardous... highly contagious pathogens, and
1:36:23
in some cases included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little
1:36:28
visibility or oversight. Now, President Trump clearly understands the serious
1:36:33
threat dangerous gain-of-function research poses to the American people. And
1:36:37
this is why he took decisive action over a year
1:36:40
ago. On May 25th, 2025, he signed an executive order
1:36:44
to end federal funding of gain-of-function research around the world.
1:36:48
Okay, no one cares. They just want to know that
1:36:51
they're making stuff there in secret that they shouldn't have
1:36:53
been doing and you could die from it. It could
1:36:56
spread across Ukraine, the world, whatever. And Fauci and Biden...
1:37:00
and they lied to you about it. They lied. Despite
1:37:04
the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact that research on
1:37:09
dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians and so-called health
1:37:15
professionals like Dr. Fauci, as well as entities within the
1:37:18
Biden administration's national security... to tease. entities. She needs to
1:37:24
rewrite these scripts. I know she can do it. It's
1:37:28
just, whoever, this is no good. Dr. Fauci, as well
1:37:30
as entities within the Biden administration's national security team, lied
1:37:35
repeatedly to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded
1:37:40
and- So this release today breaks new ground. As the
1:37:58
information surrounding the existence... history, locations, and funding of these
1:38:03
U.S.-funded biolabs has been intentionally covered up by very powerful
1:38:07
people who falsely claimed that these biolabs didn't exist. Finally,
1:38:14
a little nuance in her speech. These biolabs didn't exist.
1:38:19
So, it goes- completely unnoticed. Yeah. No one does anything
1:38:24
with it. Whatever. I think there wasn't any of the
1:38:26
news rundowns. Nah, whatever. Who cares? No, it's... And I
1:38:33
appreciate this. You could have made that the top story.
1:38:36
Easily. And I appreciate that she does all the work,
1:38:39
but if you're not going to... if you're not really
1:38:42
going to do anything. This is the same with, I'll
1:38:44
go back to the Trende Aragua guy. This is war
1:38:49
on the cartel bosses. This is saying... Hey, we're going
1:38:53
to kill you. Coming on the air with breaking news.
1:38:55
Wow, coming on the air. John, this is something new.
1:38:59
I'm just catching this now. Coming on the air. We
1:39:03
have to start doing this. I think it's been going
1:39:05
on for a while. I haven't caught it until now.
1:39:07
Coming on the air with your No Agenda show. Coming
1:39:10
on the air with breaking news that the U.S. military,
1:39:12
along with the Venezuelan government, has killed the alleged leader
1:39:16
of the gang, Tren de Aragua. That's according to President
1:39:19
Trump. We want to show you... of a home in
1:39:23
Venezuela that President Trump just released on social media. Now,
1:39:27
the president says this military strike was delivered on the
1:39:30
home of Nino Guerrero. That's the alleged leader of the
1:39:34
gang that's been a key target of the president's immigration
1:39:37
enforcement agenda. Now, his truth, his post rather on Truth
1:39:42
Social notes that quote, this military action was done with
1:39:45
the close coordination of our friends in Venezuela with whom
1:39:49
we are working very well. As a result, Trente Aragua
1:39:52
terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere
1:39:56
else. And under my leadership, we will find these.
1:40:00
murderers and drug lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to
1:40:04
the depths of hell where they belong. God bless America,
1:40:08
President Donald J. Trump. Now, that's a leader. I'm going
1:40:11
to blow you up, bitch. That's what we're going to
1:40:14
do. Hey, isn't Tulsi, isn't she a surfer? Yeah. Why
1:40:19
doesn't she do it surfer-do style? Hey, man. Hey, man.
1:40:23
Cowabunga. Bio labs, man. It's like this is bad news.
1:40:29
She could have done that. So this is, I think
1:40:31
this is a very nice marker to the drug industry.
1:40:35
Like, we're going to blow you up. You're not getting
1:40:38
away with it. Also not in the overview. Not in
1:40:43
the rundown. It should have been. No. I think so.
1:40:46
I think it's totally worth it. I see you brought
1:40:52
clips as well, so I'll let you play yours about
1:40:54
Switzerland. Yeah, this is funny, uh... It's weird, but yeah,
1:41:01
this is the BBC report on Switzerland's said to them,
1:41:06
or they're taking a vote on it, it may not
1:41:07
pass, that they're going to limit their population. Can a
1:41:11
country, indeed, should a country try to put a limit
1:41:14
on its population size? For the people of Switzerland, that's
1:41:17
not some abstract... question, but one they're about to vote
1:41:21
on. The Alpine nation will tomorrow hold a referendum on
1:41:24
whether to cap the population at 10 million. Right now
1:41:28
it's 9 million, around a third of whom are foreign
1:41:31
residents, and it's very much the issue of foreign residents
1:41:34
which is behind Sunday's vote. It was proposed by the
1:41:37
right-wing Swiss... People's Party, whose representative Yves Mbahou made clear
1:41:42
that reducing immigration is the aim. What we want is
1:41:46
to protect what we love, to ensure that Switzerland remains
1:41:49
a wonderful place to live in. We're not going to
1:41:52
eliminate traffic jams overnight, but this will allow us to
1:41:55
adapt road and rail infrastructure and build housing. but not
1:41:59
at a pace that would ultimately prevent us from absorbing
1:42:02
this massive influx of people. Switzerland has long had a
1:42:07
large foreign population. People brought in from abroad to do
1:42:11
everything from high-level jobs in industry and public services to
1:42:15
manual labour work which locals aren't prepared to do for
1:42:18
the wages available. Indeed, some there argue that limiting Switzerland's
1:42:22
population, and thereby limiting immigration, will also put a limit
1:42:26
on the economy, all of which has made tomorrow's referendum
1:42:30
very divisive. According to the Swiss journalist Julia Hamilton, the
1:42:34
result is still too close to call. The results are
1:42:38
in, in case you're interested. Should I give you the
1:42:40
results after the second clip? Yeah, give me the results
1:42:44
after the second clip. Right now, the suggestion is that
1:42:47
it's going to be very close. Something like 53% of
1:42:50
people are against and 45% people are for. And of
1:42:54
course, some people are still undecided. The main concern is
1:42:57
that Switzerland's growing population is... putting pressure on housing. I
1:43:03
myself have spoken to some people who live in Geneva
1:43:06
housing estates who said that they have to wait for
1:43:09
one, three, five, even sometimes up to 10 years for
1:43:13
an apartment. And because there are so many people waiting,
1:43:17
so it's very difficult to find accommodation. They're also saying
1:43:21
that there is pressure in schools and kindergartens and on
1:43:23
public services and transport. So people can feel sometimes, especially
1:43:28
in big cities, that there is a problem. But of
1:43:32
course, the opponents are saying that the problem is not
1:43:34
the immigration itself. The problem is that there is no
1:43:37
affordable accommodation available. So there are many... questions being discussed
1:43:41
in a society about this. Many businesses in Switzerland actually
1:43:44
employ foreign staff and they say that this could be
1:43:47
a big blow to the economy and the ability to
1:43:50
hire foreign workers to fill those jobs that requires foreign
1:43:54
talent. It has been likened to a Swiss Brexit in
1:43:57
some of the media because this would potentially isolate Switzerland
1:44:01
from the EU because not only that the government would
1:44:05
be obliged to take measures once the population reaches 9.5
1:44:09
million then once it reaches 10 million then the country
1:44:13
will be forced to exit the free movement agreement with
1:44:17
the EU and that of course would lead to problems
1:44:20
with its biggest trade partner, the European Union. So there
1:44:23
have been many discussions about what could happen and what
1:44:26
sort of effects this could have on the economy and
1:44:29
relations with its neighbours as well. Yeah, it was interesting.
1:44:32
The clips I had, I won't play them. We're talking
1:44:35
about health care, that all the health care workers are
1:44:37
foreigners, immigrants. And Switzerland is an aging country, aging population.
1:44:45
and they already have their homes, they don't care about
1:44:48
the young people, they're not motivating the young people to
1:44:51
have babies, and they just want to be taken care
1:44:53
of by slaves. And so, um, they voted it down.
1:44:59
The referendum did not pass. That makes sense. Yeah. But
1:45:04
they're being overrun with the same problem every other European,
1:45:07
almost every other European country has. in the EU. And
1:45:12
that is letting immigrants in, giving them homes, giving them
1:45:17
allowance. nothing to do hang out here You know, it's
1:45:23
a purposeful destruction of the European Union. For the people,
1:45:27
for the elites, it's no problem because they'll have a
1:45:30
completely controllable population. They control their money. The methodology to
1:45:37
do this, which is the... Like you said, to discourage
1:45:40
babies and families and the rest of it. And also
1:45:45
to do what Belfast, of course, where they had this
1:45:49
Sudanese guy try to chop some guy's head off and
1:45:53
they blinded him and whatever happened. There was a bunch
1:45:55
of riots. Well, as you would expect. because the forces
1:46:00
of counter-valence, the Soros people and others, put together some...
1:46:08
Some people. Some complainers. And here we have the Belfast
1:46:12
anti-fascist riots. 3,000 people have attended an anti-racism rally in
1:46:18
Belfast. in Northern Ireland following days of riots triggered by
1:46:21
a serious knife attack. Demonstrators held banners reading Refugees Welcome
1:46:26
and Riots Don't Speak for Belfast. The riots, dubbed racist
1:46:30
thuggery by a British minister, saw people singled out on
1:46:33
the basis of their skin colour with some forced into
1:46:35
hiding. A Sudanese man is charged with attempted murder over
1:46:39
the stabbing. Oh man. Yeah, that's beautiful. It's great. It's
1:46:44
really good. It's good. It's really, really good. Um... FISA
1:46:50
went dark. Refugees, welcome. FISA went dark on Friday, so
1:46:53
we're no longer being spied on. Yeah, right. One of
1:46:59
our One of our producers has a boots on the
1:47:01
ground of Disclosure Day. Did you see that? I'll read
1:47:04
it real quick. This is Mike. Boots on the ground
1:47:09
here in Minneapolis, St. Paul. My wife and I saw
1:47:11
a disclosure date tonight. Now I want to file this
1:47:13
report from the field. Coming on the air with a
1:47:16
report from the field is Mike from the... Twin cities
1:47:19
of Minneapolis-St. Paul. First off, this movie was a dud.
1:47:23
Ah, good. The writing was scattered. It moved between cerebral
1:47:28
sci-fi to car chase to campy philosophical monologues and then
1:47:32
back again so quickly and abruptly that anything resembling a
1:47:35
plot line was lost halfway through the effort. This is
1:47:39
our version of Cisco and eBird. And there were religious
1:47:42
themes of faith and our lot in the universe that
1:47:46
were thrown in your face and simultaneously so completely out
1:47:49
of place that I could not help but start to
1:47:51
laugh out loud in the theater from sheer confusion. By
1:47:54
far the worst movie Spielberg has ever made. expense might
1:47:58
have been created by the release of the UAP footage
1:48:01
released by the Trump admin a few months back, was
1:48:04
expeditiously squandered by this B-movie masquerading as a summer blockbuster.
1:48:09
I'm afraid the payoff, after months of speculation, was an
1:48:12
unmitigated disappointment, assuming one had any hopes for this film
1:48:16
at all. Thank you for your courage. It's Mike from
1:48:19
the field. there you go excellent report that's the kind
1:48:23
of report that that is valuable right there Yeah, it'll
1:48:26
save people a lot of money. It costs a fortune
1:48:29
to go to the theater nowadays. Wait for it to
1:48:31
come out on Netflix and you can turn it off
1:48:33
halfway through. Yeah, so Tina was in Vegas the past.
1:48:37
couple of days with her sister. They went to go
1:48:40
see Gwen Stefani at the Sphere. And so Phoebe and
1:48:43
I were here home alone. I'm like, you know. Let
1:48:46
me watch something crazy something I would never watch John
1:48:50
wick for That's something you'd never watch. No. No, I'd
1:48:54
never watch. And I watched the whole thing. I'm like.
1:48:57
This is dumb! I mean, it's so impressive. Keanu Reeves
1:49:03
kills... 200 people. Never a scratch on him until the
1:49:08
duel at the last moment. You know, you got a
1:49:10
blind guy who can kill everybody just by smelling him.
1:49:13
It's just... It's dumb. It's so dumb. I find the
1:49:23
John Wick movies quite enjoyable. Did you see John Wick
1:49:26
4? Did you see the fourth one? I may or
1:49:28
may not have. They're all the same. Well, this is
1:49:30
the worst of the four. I've seen other ones. It's
1:49:35
like, no, this is no good. And everybody has to
1:49:38
be shot in the head. You throw the guy in
1:49:41
the ground, then you shoot him in the head. Otherwise,
1:49:43
he's not dead. Well, we know that's true. Yeah, but
1:49:47
it's just like, shoot him in the head. Shoot him
1:49:50
in the head. Shoot him in the head. Shoot him
1:49:51
in the head. And he has endless supply of ammo.
1:49:56
Endless, I tell you. It never ends.
1:50:00
Yeah, reload again, reload again. A new mag, reload again.
1:50:04
Endless supply, it's amazing. So there you go. Okay, so
1:50:09
let's jump to a scandal. There's a TV show called
1:50:15
Married. at first sight. What is the premise of this?
1:50:20
The premise is you – it's a reality TV show.
1:50:23
There's a version in England. There's a version – I
1:50:26
think there's a version in the United States. There's a
1:50:28
version in Australia, which is controversial. You take two people
1:50:32
and you marry them. Oh. without them ever having met
1:50:36
before. Pretty much. Is this a Dana Brunetti production? No,
1:50:43
Dana's, I think, a little, got more savvy than that,
1:50:48
but here we go. As we say in the old
1:50:49
country, he has more in his Mars. I'm not sure
1:50:54
why they say that, but here we go. The revelations
1:50:56
about Australia's married at first sight comes just weeks after...
1:50:59
after damning allegations were made about the UK version of
1:51:03
the programme, with two participants saying they were raped by
1:51:06
the men they were partnered with, allegations the men involved
1:51:09
have denied. The Australian version is made by a different
1:51:13
production company and broadcast on a different channel. Both insist
1:51:17
there are strong protocols in place to ensure participants say...
1:51:20
Here's our culture correspondent, Noor Nanji. This is a huge
1:51:24
hit in Australia. Of course, we've been mentioning that the
1:51:27
UK version of Married at First Sight has been facing
1:51:31
intense scrutiny ever since our panorama came out a month
1:51:34
ago. But now there are fresh questions for the Australian
1:51:37
version too. Following this new investigation, we have... done and
1:51:41
we heard from several cast members who told us that
1:51:43
they felt unsafe after being matched with men with criminal
1:51:47
past which crucially they were not told about now we
1:51:50
should reiterate that the broadcaster in australia which is channel
1:51:53
nine and also endemol shine australia which is the production
1:51:57
company for that version have said that they have strong
1:52:00
proto to protect participants and to ensure safety and well-being.
1:52:05
But I think today's story should be seen against the
1:52:08
context of what this show is all about. Married at
1:52:10
First Sight Australia, by its very nature, is a show
1:52:13
that involves strangers meeting up, being sent on honeymoon, moving
1:52:17
in together, building a life together, sharing a bed... And
1:52:21
it is given that context, women say to us, they
1:52:24
said, that they should have been fully informed about the
1:52:27
men that they were being partnered with ahead of the
1:52:30
show. One woman that we spoke to said, you shouldn't
1:52:33
be left alone with a stranger with a criminal record.
1:52:36
And she added that there should have been informed consent.
1:52:41
Here's how you go. There's there's culture at its best.
1:52:45
Here's how reality shows work. You put two or more
1:52:48
people in a room together with cameras. And you add
1:52:52
alcohol. That's how it works. Yeah, that's how it works.
1:52:56
That's how it works. So did you see Carney's New
1:52:58
World Order speech? No. Yeah, so Carney... Do you have
1:53:04
it? Yeah, I do. I have four clips of it,
1:53:06
not the whole thing. um How long did it go?
1:53:10
Was it a long speech? Oh, it was eight minutes.
1:53:13
Too long. Too long. And I actually gave it to
1:53:17
the robot and said, cut all the silence. Robot did
1:53:20
a pretty good job because I couldn't, it was too
1:53:22
much. I'm like, I'm never going to play these clips
1:53:24
if I have to cut out every single silence. It'll
1:53:26
take me hours. So I was happy about that. So
1:53:30
he's a little more animated than it really was. Well,
1:53:33
that's pretty good. You got the robot to do something.
1:53:35
Yeah, robot is good. Good robot. So in a way...
1:53:39
So his whole, the premise here is America bad, Trump
1:53:45
really bad. not trustworthy. Those guys suck. We're going to
1:53:50
do, we're going to reboot everything our own way with
1:53:54
the European Union. And we're kind of going to do
1:53:56
what Trump is doing, but we're going to do it
1:53:58
for us. And this is an urgent task now because
1:54:01
the world is changing rapidly. Ireland and Canada are navigating
1:54:07
a global rupture, not a quiet transition. The post-Cold War
1:54:13
world of rules-based order is breaking down. Multilateral institutions have
1:54:18
weakened. Economic integration from which we have benefited is being
1:54:22
weaponized. The international trading system, which we've relied upon for
1:54:27
decades, is under threat. And at the same time, new
1:54:31
technologies from artificial intelligence to cyber and quantum are changing
1:54:36
the nature of war, the structure of economies, and the
1:54:38
possibilities of a new world. - Abilities of human advancement.
1:54:41
Climate change is no longer a warning. It's here. It's
1:54:44
here. Last month, as you know and you felt, Ireland
1:54:48
experienced its hottest May on record. Ever. Oh, no. In
1:54:51
Canada last year, forests larger. than Ireland burned in the
1:54:56
drought and heat. Global conflicts are exciting. They're more than
1:55:01
kinetic, as horrible as that is. Canada, Ireland, and Europe
1:55:09
are increasingly and more immediately vulnerable to once distant threats.
1:55:14
It's very interesting he throws Ireland in there every single
1:55:16
time because he wants to bring them back into the
1:55:18
fold. They got fighters over there. So, all right. So
1:55:21
just so you know, with Canada, with Ireland and with
1:55:24
the EU, we are bigger than you. I suggest... that
1:55:29
amidst this change, amidst this disruption, Canada, Ireland, and Europe
1:55:35
can be pivotal, powerful, and purposeful. Powerful, purposeful. Pivotal because
1:55:42
we are the most connected region in the world to
1:55:46
each other. and to others. Canada has 16 free trade
1:55:50
agreements with 51 countries covering one and a half billion
1:55:55
people, two-thirds of global GDP. And we're on course to
1:55:59
double that market access this year. The EU maintains preferential
1:56:05
access to over 80 partner countries, making it the top
1:56:09
trading partner for 80 nations globally. Together we are powerful
1:56:15
because we have the capacity to act together. Combined, the
1:56:20
population is more than twice that of the United States.
1:56:24
We have a larger cultural export industry and a more
1:56:28
diverse one, I might add, a similarly sized GDP, comparable.
1:56:32
Our collective defense budget is twice that of China's. to
1:56:39
the majority of the world's top 100 universities and over
1:56:43
half of the world's Nobel Prize winners. So together, we
1:56:48
are one of the largest economic, cultural, technological, financial... I
1:56:54
was just doing the math on the fly. With twice
1:56:57
the population, as he says, They only have half the
1:57:01
Nobel Prize winners. Where's the other group? Well, I guess
1:57:04
some of them are in China, but most of the
1:57:05
United States. And then he has some other, almost half
1:57:10
of the great universities. Where's the rest of them? So
1:57:13
we have half the population and twice as many great
1:57:16
universities per capita. He's just throwing away these numbers. If
1:57:22
you start looking at them on a per capita basis,
1:57:24
we're kicking ass. Yes. Well, so now we get to
1:57:28
the Trump bit. We're going to do what Trump is
1:57:30
doing, but he sucks. Now, because over decades, governments and
1:57:36
businesses prioritized efficiency over resilience, We all have developed supply
1:57:42
chains and trading relationships that create dependencies, that can turn
1:57:47
economic integration from an advantage, which is what it was,
1:57:50
into subordination. And so Canada's strategic imperative is to build
1:57:56
sovereign capabilities and resiliencies in these key areas. That starts
1:58:01
at home. We're fast-tracking a trillion dollars of investment in
1:58:04
energy, AI, critical minerals, new trade corridors. We're investing to
1:58:09
double our clean electricity grid. We're investing in quantum. We're
1:58:14
building our food security. Pretty much the same thing we're
1:58:17
doing except we, well I guess we're doing the dumb
1:58:20
quantum too. And so what is he going to do?
1:58:24
Huh? I just crack up when I think about it.
1:58:27
There's no evidence that they can get these things to
1:58:29
work. You mean quantum? Yeah. Quantum does fun little games
1:58:34
and stuff. Snake. All right, here we go. Last question.
1:58:36
But we recognize a second principle, that building true sovereignty
1:58:40
cannot... be achieved in isolation. It requires diversification. It requires
1:58:45
partnership. Wait, hold on a second. What's the logic here?
1:58:49
Sovereignty in isolation? Of course, sovereignty is isolation. This guy's
1:58:56
a banker. He's upset. True sovereignty cannot be achieved in
1:59:01
isolation. It requires diversification. It requires partnership. And so we
1:59:07
are focused on building a dense web of connections, said
1:59:11
another way, ad hoc coalitions that work issue by issue
1:59:15
with partners that share enough common ground to act together.
1:59:20
And that's why... Canada was the first non-European country to
1:59:23
join the EU's safe defence procurement program. It's why we've
1:59:29
signed 20 new economic and security agreements over five continents
1:59:35
in the past year. It's why we're championing efforts to
1:59:38
build a bridge between the Trans-Pacific. partnership in the European
1:59:43
Union. Something that would create a trading block of one
1:59:46
and a half billion. Sorry, I messed that up. Yeah.
1:59:52
So, you know, it's going to all happen to EU.
1:59:55
EU and Canada. We're going to take care of you
1:59:58
citizens. Don't worry about it.
2:00:00
Good. It's all good. It'll all be okay. We need
2:00:03
to put more Canadian news in the show. Yeah, seeing
2:00:08
as it will soon be just part of American news.
2:00:11
I'm still hopeful. Well, that ain't gonna happen, but there's
2:00:16
definitely causing issues. There's something up. With Canada, well, what's
2:00:21
up is that Trump has blown everything apart. He wants
2:00:25
to renegotiate NAFTA. Or the, I'm sorry, it's not NAFTA.
2:00:29
What is the... They changed the name, but it's basically
2:00:32
NAFTA. NAFTA, yeah. It's up for negotiation. They changed it
2:00:35
to Nambla. No, that's something else. Never mind. I'd like
2:00:39
to thank you for your courage, say in the morning
2:00:41
to you, the man who put the C in. What
2:00:43
does the C actually stand for? Say hello to my
2:00:45
friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr.
2:00:48
John! We have the very worst of the great Irish
2:00:55
secrets that wrap in here, such as the wine and
2:00:58
games and nights out there. In the morning to the
2:00:59
trolls in the troll room. *Metal Gear* 1681. If only
2:01:07
every one of the people listening to this show live
2:01:09
would send us a little donation. Yes, we have less
2:01:14
than 30 donations over 50 today. Less than 26. And
2:01:19
it's wonderful that people come in with Red Knight donations,
2:01:22
but you can give $5. You really can. Especially if
2:01:28
you're listening all the way through up to this point,
2:01:30
you should consider returning the value for the value that
2:01:34
you received. And I think once again, we have delivered.
2:01:37
you With John's Noisemakers alone, we have delivered. There you
2:01:42
go. It's all on deck. DEST- The people listening now
2:01:48
are either listening through noagendastream.com or one of the modern
2:01:52
podcasts. That's Podverse. It's really popular. I looked at the
2:01:55
numbers the other day. The share, the share of... apps
2:01:59
we share there we go for the last month uh
2:02:02
i think But 30% is the Apple legacy app, which
2:02:07
you cannot get the live stream through. Hello, people. And
2:02:12
next on the list is Podverse. You know how many
2:02:15
downloads we had from Spotify? Last month? No. Three. Three?
2:02:23
Three. Literally three. Wow. Some people have wised up. Of
2:02:31
course they have. Modernpodcastapps.com. You'll get a bat signal and
2:02:35
notification when we go live. And right after that. The
2:02:38
minute we publish the show, within 90 seconds, you're notified.
2:02:41
And your NOAA agenda show, the best podcast in the
2:02:43
universe, is flowing into your eardrums, ready for you to
2:02:46
go. So the value we give is open for everybody.
2:02:50
We're like an open source model. uh You can get
2:02:55
it however, there's so many different ways to get it.
2:02:57
You can download it right from the website. You can
2:02:59
give it to other people, redistribute it, do whatever. We
2:03:02
don't really care as long as you do something in
2:03:05
the 3Ts, Time, Talent, Treasure, to give back to the
2:03:08
show. So we had Mike in the Twin Cities giving
2:03:10
us a great movie review, which I think right there
2:03:14
is worth the price of admission. So that is literally
2:03:16
what you don't have to do. to pay to watch
2:03:18
that dog. People can do all kinds of things, organize
2:03:23
meetups. I mean, there's a lot that you can do
2:03:25
to support the show and return the value. And next
2:03:28
time you have one of those coffees, like, say, maybe
2:03:31
I should give this to the boys over there. It's
2:03:33
a no-agenda show. You'd be amazed how much the little-
2:03:36
And say hi to me in the- Albany meet up
2:03:38
next Saturday. Oh, there you go. Next Saturday to 27th.
2:03:41
One of the ways people help us is by prompting
2:03:44
art, prompt art, and then upload it to the No
2:03:49
Agenda Art Generator, noagendaartgenerator.com, so that we can have something
2:03:54
fun to show to people that is hopefully relevant to
2:03:57
the... episode and they click on it and they listen
2:03:59
to it. It's just an extra bonus. People like it.
2:04:03
It's fun. It's exciting. And Blue Acorn. comes in again
2:04:07
with the art for episode 1876 titled Screwball. for all
2:04:12
of John's screwball clips. And this was the Alaska dog
2:04:15
sled delivering the ballots. And it was different for an
2:04:21
AI-generated image. Did you think it had a different vibe
2:04:25
to it? The edges were a little sharper? It was
2:04:27
a little messy. A little messy. We usually don't pick
2:04:30
messy pieces like this. But I kind of liked it.
2:04:33
I mean, obviously we liked it. Well, it was very...
2:04:35
It was a... It was a... It had a charm.
2:04:39
of some sort. We both liked it. Yeah, we did.
2:04:44
What else did we like? Nothing. Well, yes, we had
2:04:48
the totem pole. Oh, the totem. Yeah, that totem had
2:04:54
potential. A lot of people uploading Ulster says no. Yeah,
2:04:58
I don't get why we would think we're going to
2:05:00
pick that. It's not going to happen. No, it's not
2:05:02
going to happen. Let me see, was there anything else
2:05:06
that we thought even came close? A lot of nipples.
2:05:11
No. Good try. Yeah, you thought the Darren O'Neill's cough,
2:05:14
the totem cough was funny. Yeah, I thought that was
2:05:18
funny. think that was it really um i'm looking at
2:05:25
it now there was another dog sled from jock 10
2:05:29
but no it wasn't quite as good i like the
2:05:32
ballot box which i used uh to announce the newsletter
2:05:36
although in the newsletter there was a The perfect crime
2:05:40
was the artwork. Yes. But I liked the ballot box
2:05:44
with the Jack in the Box popping out. It was
2:05:46
good. No agenda voting box. Yeah, that was good. Definitely.
2:05:49
Another Darren piece of genius. How does he do it?
2:05:54
I don't know how he does it. The guy, he's
2:05:56
a maniac. A maniac. Yeah, he's got the skills that
2:06:00
pays the bills. So then we quickly move on to
2:06:05
the... To the producers who supported us with the financial
2:06:09
donation, anybody can do it by going to noagendadonations.com. We
2:06:12
even accept Bitcoin. Yeah, you can send checks, which is
2:06:17
great. We love checks. We will not excuse your checks.
2:06:20
Yeah, because checks are totaled fees between 15 and 40
2:06:24
cents. Yes, very good way of supporting the show. And
2:06:28
of course, we, as always, just to make the segment
2:06:31
more exciting, give people more incentive, you can become a
2:06:34
knight or a dame. That is cumulative, so... You know,
2:06:37
if you've been giving support over years, we have lots
2:06:41
of layaway nights, eventually you will be invited to the
2:06:44
roundtable, you get one of those no agenda rings, one
2:06:46
of the few tchotchkes, and it's not really a tchotchke,
2:06:49
it's an actual signet ring that we have here, and
2:06:52
we've had that for a long time. The title is
2:06:54
probably more impressive than the ring itself. You can move
2:06:57
up the peerage ladder. We also have an opportunity. Come
2:07:00
and duke. Yes, we have an opportunity for people to
2:07:03
get official Hollywood credits. We are certified to hand out
2:07:08
these credits, so $200 or more. Not only will we
2:07:11
read your notes that you sent in with the donation,
2:07:13
guaranteed, we will also give you the Hollywood credit of
2:07:16
association. executive producer. You can use that anywhere these credits
2:07:20
are recognized, including imdb.com, which looks kind of cool. Hey
2:07:24

2:07:29
executive producer. Same deal, we'll read your note and you
2:07:31

2:07:34
from Spooksville, Alexandria, Virginia. $1,100. $1,100. All right. Very cool.
2:07:42
And he says... I'm glad to discover your show. My
2:07:46
chosen title as Red Knight of the Heart is Sir
2:07:49
Wild Bill, Liberator of California. Please, I'd like mac and
2:07:53
cheese and little gourd, yeah? And he says... Liberate California!
2:07:59
You slaves can get used to mac and cheese, mac
2:08:02
and cheese, mac and cheese, macaroni and cheese, cheddar melted
2:08:06
together, mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.
2:08:11
All right. And we have done that. Thank you very
2:08:14
much. We'll see you at the roundtable. Dr. Sir One
2:08:17
Awesome Jason in Smyrna, Georgia, 1030-103026. Hi, John and Adam.
2:08:26
John, glad to see the shock of Apple releasing a
2:08:29

2:26:29
good one from the Grumpy Dames, the Grumpy Old Dames,
2:26:32
who were desperately trying to figure out what the C
2:26:34
stands for in John C. Dvorak. I noticed with that
2:26:40
song they actually pronounced my last name correctly. Well, maybe
2:26:43
it wasn't AI. Well, somebody's talking pretty fast. Doubtful. Would
2:26:49
you like to divulge what the C stands for in
2:26:52
John C? We all know what it stands for. Everybody
2:26:54
knows what it stands for. Cash. *laughs* We have John's
2:27:02
tip of the day coming up at first. End of
2:27:04
show ISOs. I have two. I see you have celebrity
2:27:07
ISOs once again. So I will start with mine. I
2:27:10
was very, I was, it was amazing. And this one.
2:27:15
It was amazing. Okay. now what do you have it's
2:27:18
kind of the same one it's a man it's a
2:27:21
woman it's two different things they're real they're not ai
2:27:23
generated but okay let's go with your fakeness i don't
2:27:26
like ai to me no it wasn't this no no
2:27:29
this okay okay this i have obama i called him
2:27:32
up and had him do these brock obama ai sorry
2:27:35
not ai okay brock obama here You just heard the
2:27:38
best podcast ever. Lame. Okay, let's try the other one.
2:27:46
Because he always says, the way he always starts off
2:27:49
with... Hello everybody! Remember, we made a big deal out
2:27:54
of that. All right, next. I wish the No Agenda
2:27:58
show was around when I was a kid in Kenya.
2:28:01
Okay. All right. Kid in Kenya, we'll take it. But
2:28:06
first, it's John's tip of the day. Great advice for
2:28:11
you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes...
2:28:18
Wine, wine, wine, we want wine. You had wine before.
2:28:22
Oh, okay. Okay, so wine will be coming, coming soon.
2:28:27
Mm-hmm. So this is a screwball tip because I saw
2:28:32
some some ads for it and so I ended up
2:28:35
getting one and I Yeah, there's some... It's an interesting
2:28:38
product. It's a cardboard box cutter motorized. Oh. And it
2:28:46
just plows through cardboard real fast. But what it really
2:28:49
is, is it's basically just an assisted knife. um There's
2:28:56
like a knife, it's like a blade, it's like a
2:28:58
box cutter with a motorized assist so you can really
2:29:02
zoom through the boxes. And this has been promoted here
2:29:07
and there. I'm going to give you the, this is
2:29:08
the one that I got and played with is the...
2:29:13
Uh... I guess it's Keyland. K-E-L-I-N, 300 milliamp hour cardboard
2:29:22
box cutter 2026 version. What's wrong with scissors? You can't
2:29:29
cut through cardboard with scissors. Yeah, you can. They cut
2:29:33
through cardboard all the time with scissors. Wow. These are
2:29:37
20... So the thing about these cutters, and you look
2:29:43
it up in Amazon as a cardboard box cutter, motorized
2:29:48
or whatever. But the thing about these things is that
2:29:52
you want the cheap one because they're all the same.
2:29:55
40 different versions of the same exact thing, this typical
2:29:59
Chinese product.
2:30:00
There's a million versions of it, and they vary in
2:30:03
price from the cheapest I've seen is 19. This one
2:30:06
I got for 19, but now it's 20. $20 to
2:30:08
$50 for the exact same product. Get the cheap one.
2:30:13
They do work. If you've seen ads for them, it
2:30:18
takes a little more force than you think. think, but
2:30:20
it's a good way to cut up a cardboard box
2:30:23
into cardboard strips. Well, okay. Valid point. We have a
2:30:28
lot of boxes at the end of the week, and
2:30:31
I usually, I have a knife, I have a pocket
2:30:33
knife, you know, the kind you pull out and it
2:30:35
opens automatically. Oh, it's called a stiletto. No, no. This
2:30:40
is a there's a little hook on it And if
2:30:43
you know, and so it slips into your right pocket,
2:30:47
your front pocket with a clip. And then when you
2:30:49
pull it out, if you pull it out with a
2:30:51
little bit of backwards motion, then it automatically opens the
2:30:56
blade so I can shiv them real quick. Yep. So
2:30:59
I use that. to cut up the boxes and I
2:31:02
think that this motorized box cutter may be for me.
2:31:06
It might be, but again, get the cheap one. The
2:31:09
cheap one, yes, the cheap one. And this case is
2:31:12
the cheapest one with the most powerful battery, 3,000 milliamp
2:31:17
hours. Okay. And they do work. No, I, I, I,
2:31:22
I. But it makes you, they make it sound like
2:31:24
it's a saw. It's not. It's an assisted blade. I
2:31:30
will bring a report after I order mine. I will
2:31:32
