Hit it, baby. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill. It's Sunday, August
0:06
2nd, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation of Media Assassination,
0:10
episode 1891. This is no agenda. That's right, we are
0:17
broadcasting live from just outside of Chirac, right here in
0:21
FEMA Region 5. In the morning, everybody, I'm Darren O'Neill.
0:26
And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydener
0:29
keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming scimitar
0:32
of truth. It's Darren and Larry. In the morning. Yeah,
0:38
I still can't figure out why you move from one
0:39
commie place to another. You had a chance. I'm not
0:42
that bright. You had a chance to escape. What can
0:45
I say? Yeah. The joy ride continues on today's show.
0:50
Yeah. Thanks to everybody who sent in the well wishes.
0:56
We are trying to do right by the show and
1:00
trying to give you the media deconstruction. We are not
1:02
trying to replace Adam or John because we can never
1:05
replace Adam and John, but we're Darren and Larry. Yeah,
1:08
we're having some fun. I'll say that. That was a
1:10
lot of fun last time out. It really was. And
1:13
one thing I missed in the troll room, and I
1:15
think I said the number when I did the troll
1:17
count, because it's like plates are spinning. The podfather makes
1:20
it look easy. The maximum number listening live. was 888,
1:27
which is kind of spooky, being that JCD, everybody knows.
1:32
eights are magic so uh then why did he think
1:35
they were magic i couldn't know but they are just
1:39
stacked zeros or two donuts or well you know i
1:42
always wonder about that why people develop uh you know
1:46
an affinity for certain digits your lucky numbers are your
1:49
lucky numbers but jcd left a mark worldwide and if
1:55
there's any question about it Our first clip for today
1:59
comes all the way from down under. And Adam posted
2:03
this over on the X. And the woman's name, I've
2:09
got it here. is Sarah Harris. And man, Nick the
2:15
Rat was the first one that like, oh man, now
2:17
you're making me cry again because this. is going to
2:20
show you exactly. the whole. all around the world left
2:26
by the passing of John C. Dvorak. This is quite
2:30
embarrassing to admit, but last Friday I spent the time
2:34
crying in the work toilets over a man I've actually
2:39
never met. The last 12 years, twice a week, every
2:43
week, I've been listening to this podcast and it's hosted
2:46
by John C. Dvorak. Showing a picture of John. I've
2:55
listened to this podcast for such a long time and
2:57
it's become such a part of my life. And I've
3:02
donated to the show. You don't pay for it. It's
3:04
all based on donations. And it's got me through some
3:08
hard times in my life. And I just can't believe
3:12
how hard it's hit me. It feels like a death
3:15
in the family. You know when people lose their minds
3:17
when celebrities die? Yeah. I always thought, oh my God.
3:21
I get it. I actually get it. to feeling like
3:27
you know someone and that other person has no clue
3:29
who you are. So, Sarah Harris, we feel you. the
3:35
outpouring from people saying just that and this coming from
3:38
somebody that works in radio You know, I don't think
3:42
anybody that does this kind of thing where you're talking
3:44
and, you know, you're basically talking to a microphone and
3:47
I'm talking to you and Adam was talking to John.
3:49
Sometimes you lose. that you're talking to a whole lot
3:53
of people and you're making a difference. in what you
3:57
do. So that was a beautiful. tribute. That was very
4:02
nice. It really was. Heartfelt. Yes, echoing what you are
4:07
hearing from a lot of the producers of the No
4:10
Agenda show. Again, thanks to everybody for listening to Larry
4:14
and I keep up this tradition. And for the people
4:18
saying Larry's voice is too good, I mean, you're probably
4:21
right. Oh, keep saying that. I love it. More. Louder.
4:24
Repeat, please. Yeah. But it's as usual. The news cycle
4:28
going on. The media is a little less than honest.
4:33
And you brought a clip that is more than fresh
4:36
off the press. This popped up like 20 minutes ago.
4:41
It's kind of interesting because in the previous show, the
4:47
doll of the day was, of course, Tony Fauci. And
4:51
his fans are still clinging. to his, to what remains
4:57
of him. And one of them obviously is, is Dana
5:00
Bash. And she's, she's kind of getting into it with
5:03
Bobby the K, right. You know, just minutes before this
5:06
show began. But you're just you're talking about rights and
5:12
I'm asking about a potential public health crisis that is
5:16
that is coming but I do want to let's and
5:19
one of the mistakes we made in the last time
5:22
was suppressing those rights so people weren't being heard. Doctors
5:27
who are saying you're doing it wrong. We're being marginalized
5:31
and vilified. Because, again, I really want to move on.
5:36
But you were saying... You were part of the problem.
5:39
No, I wasn't part of the problem. It was absolute
5:42
press malpractice. You weren't allowing your job. Mr. Secretary, your
5:47
job is a fierce skepticism toward authority. And you weren't
5:52
doing that. You were beating up people who were dissenting.
5:56
No, okay. Are you going to... You want to sit
5:58
here and attack me? Larry, we've never actually hit this
6:06
button for us yet. Clip of the day. I don't
6:14
care that it's the first one out of the box.
6:16
Oh my God, well thank you. I feel so honored.
6:18
There might be a show title in there, Darren. Press
6:21
Malpractice. I've never even heard that before, but I love
6:24
it. Oh, I love that people are getting a little
6:28
bit more ornery with these morons that are pretending to
6:33
be the media who never ask probing questions. If you
6:37
ever hear like, oh, what do you make of that?
6:39
You know they're morons. Of course. Thank you. And this
6:45
reality of the world, we were... Bobby the K, absolutely
6:48
right. They were silencing doctors who had a different opinion.
6:54
from the majority that happened. And that's scary. Cause how
6:57
do you know if your doctors are right or the
6:58
other doctors are right? You don't. They were silencing, silencing
7:02
everyone. I was bumped off Facebook because I said things
7:06
critical of the Vax. I was, many of my tweets.
7:11
were deleted, you know, for those violations. It's disinformation. Disagreement
7:15
is disinformation. We all remember that, yeah. Yeah, and you
7:18
were suspended a few times as well from texting. Oh,
7:22
yeah. By the way, I have to thank, my wife
7:24
came up with that clip, and if I don't thank
7:25
her, I'm going to be probably not eating for the
7:27
next week or so. So thank you, wife. Well, that's
7:30
it. You never know where the good clips are going
7:31
to come from. You never know. Yeah. And that is
7:35
wow. I mean, I've heard people like Rubio and Trump
7:39
get a little contentious with the press. RFK Jr., this
7:44
I think was the, so far, my favorite. Right? He's
7:47
got game. There's no question. Yeah. That is press. So
7:52
what happened was. After the Fauci thing, last episode. I
7:56
kind of flashed on this kooky idea, and I want
7:59
to run it by you, Darren, and of course the
8:01
Podfather, and all our Marvy producers out there. And it's
8:06
kind of like... No Agenda has this very pronounced, I
8:10
think, medieval component. It's kind of like Ving Rhames in
8:16
Pulp Fiction. You're going to get medieval on your ass.
8:18
We've got knights and dames. Yeah, we've got knights, we've
8:21
got dames, we've got barons and dukes and viscounts and
8:23
magical swords and regal trumpet fanfares and signet rings and
8:27
sealing wax. It's all right there. Excuse me. And I
8:31
realized as I was watching Fauci... in that chamber of
8:37
Congress being grilled, and I'd say grilled slash verbally abused
8:43
by some of those guys, that this was the 21st
8:46
century version of being pilloried, like Quasimodo, you know, being
8:51
towed around a town square, strapped to an open wagon
8:54
while everybody pitches rotten fruits and vegetables at him and
8:58
curses him out, right? That's kind of what that was.
9:05
guy and as we know he's actually a hero just
9:07
not not attractive but about the same as as that
9:10
uh knife-eared goblin Fauci. So anyway, watching that, I thought
9:17
maybe there's something there. Maybe there's an element or a
9:21
feature. that could be added to No Agenda, something like
9:26
the pillory pageant. And so my first nominee would be
9:33
Bernie. Right. I mean, who's more cretinous and horrific than
9:38
Bernie? That horrid commie fossil who just won't go away.
9:42
And Kennedy, so nicely, just summed him up nicely on
9:46
the five. But I wondered, was Kennedy at MTV at
9:49
the same time Adam was? I wonder if he knows
9:51
her. There might have been overlap. Overlap. That'd be interesting
9:55
to get his take on that. But here's here's a
9:57
Kennedy summing up.
10:00
something happened rather nicely. She misses a couple of steps,
10:03
so I'll butt in and speak when she does. Bernie
10:07
Sanders, and I speak from experience here, he's like a
10:10
woman in her 50s. Still super hot, doesn't care, doesn't...
10:16
opinion, but he wants to be beloved. And I look
10:21
at Bernie Sanders like a cult leader because that's what
10:23
he is to the democratic socialists. They are all in
10:27
on emotion. They not only do not have a rational
10:31
capacity, they despise... to do with rationality because rationality represents
10:37
objectivity. And objectivity means math. Objectivity means black and white.
10:43
It means binary choices. And they despise that. be subjective.
10:48
It has to be about your feelings. And they pin
10:50
all of that together. And you know, it's like, say
10:55
whatever you want about it, He's a nice guy, but
10:57
he's also got a massive ego on him. And he
11:01
wants to maintain his spot as the kingmaker. Well, that's
11:06
all true. And I might add, you've been railing about
11:09
that for almost five years on no agenda. They're all
11:12
about feelings, correct? Yeah. Yeah. But where I disagree with
11:18
Kennedy is, how does she know? People always do this
11:21
on the right, because the right always wants to kind
11:23
of take the high road and be nice. Hey, Kennedy.
11:26
No, Bernie's a nice guy. Have you had dinner with
11:31
him? Live next door? She's probably never met the guy.
11:35
I'll tell you what he is. He's a gloomy creep.
11:38
You want to know what Bernie is? Picture this. You're
11:41
sitting in an airport lounge, a little too early for
11:44
your flight. There are dozens of empty seats around you.
11:48
And in the distance up the concourse, you spot this
11:51
demented vagrant shuffling your way. Looks like a Muppet. Well,
11:56
it's August. wearing galoshes and an Arctic parka. And he's
12:01
mumbling to himself. And you're praying this guy won't come
12:04
your way. But of course, he does. flops right next
12:08
to you and says, Oligarchy. Okay, that's that Sanders is.
12:15
He's that kind of a weirdo. You don't want to
12:17
be in the same zip code as the guy, right?
12:20
Well, he has changed his, you know, he was against
12:22
Mill. it was out that he was Then he became
12:26
against billionaires. Oh yeah, absolutely. would be and somebody had
12:31
a clip it was too too verbose and too too
12:35
much the same stuff but they had him from 1983
12:40
right till the present I'm saying the exact same lines
12:44
you know becoming a nation of oligarchy But it's funny
12:51
you mention the thing about him. departure from savaging millionaires
12:59
for billionaires because Bernie is a millionaire. Multiple houses, doing
13:04
pretty well. Yeah, and here's a terrific clip of Dave
13:08
Rubin, Bernie explaining himself, and then Dave has some fascinating
13:13
commentary after that. Do I own three residences? Yeah, I
13:18
do. I live here in Burlington, Vermont. We live in
13:20
a middle-class neighborhood. Nice house. I mean, to be fair
13:24
though, Larry, everybody has at least three residences, don't they?
13:27
I don't. Do you? No. Me too. I don't know
13:32
what's the matter. Guess what? I'm a United States Senator.
13:41
In your face, right? Little hubris. I'm United States Senator.
13:44
Okay. Yeah, guess what? Guess what? Isn't that rich? Yeah.
13:49
Right, so that means that you've... money off the backs
13:53
of what constituents And again, politicians that. themselves while There
14:02
is a long list on both sides of the aisle,
14:06
except for some reason, Lindsey Graham, who didn't enrich himself.
14:09
Isn't that shocking? Yeah. I think that Bernie suffers a
14:12
lot from Fauci disease, which is... Oh, yeah. Oh, he's
14:15
in love with himself. And he never thought his little
14:19
position of socialism was going to work. He's old enough
14:24
that he's been doing this so long, he never thought
14:27
it was really going to work. He was just the
14:29
crazy guy on the one side who was enriching himself
14:32
while telling you, you shouldn't have money. And now here
14:37
he is being questioned, and he doesn't like it. as
14:42
do most senators. You know, you live there year after
14:45
year. When I first went to, actually, when I was
14:47
in Congress for 16 years, I rented all the time.
14:49
But I got elected. Okay, got a six-year term. You
14:51
know what? Let's buy a house. So we bought a
14:53
house and gave it to the Like many thousands of
14:56
people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer
14:58
camp. It's a nice one. Stop. That's it. Did you
15:01
hear that? I have a summer camp. Is that like
15:05
a re-education camp? Who the hell? If it's a tent
15:10
on the side of the lake, Bernie, you're lying. That's
15:13
not a camp. But again, lefties and commies love, they
15:17
love the word camp. They really do. Yeah, camp usually
15:20
makes you think that there is... you know, a cult
15:24
or maybe something like that. Oh, when he hit him
15:27
again. Yeah. Okay, got a six-year term. You know what?
15:31
Let's buy a house. So we bought a house. And
15:33
guess what? Like many thousands of people in the state
15:36
of Vermont, I have a summer camp. It's a nice
15:38
one. On Lake Champlain. Yeah, I've never heard of anybody
15:42
saying he has a summer camp. Yeah. A summer home,
15:45
maybe. Maybe he's having an aneurysm or something. Cottage. No,
15:49
I think it's a commie word. It's a dog whistle.
15:53
My camp. I believe it. Yeah. That's it. Now, how
15:58
did I get the money? You're right. I wrote two
16:01
bestselling books, including this book on capitalism. It was New
16:06
York Times bestseller for a while. Surely, yes. Incredibly ironic.
16:15
And this, again, says, you know, people think he's really
16:17
smart. Right there. He's really stupid. He's persistent. He hangs
16:23
as they say. You know, 90% of life is showing
16:25
up. And that's what Bernie's done. But he's really not
16:27
that bright at all. Well, yeah, and why do all
16:30
these commies not give all of their extra money to
16:33
the government? Isn't that what they want? Why not? I
16:36
don't know. And also another book was a youth book.
16:40
A youth book. A youth book. Now. And that's more
16:45
or less how it is. the zillionaire that I am.
16:49
How did I make the money? Well, even though I've
16:52
spent a career trying to destroy... and I've got three
16:55
houses and everything else. I sold best-selling books. Of course,
16:59
I guess if I thought about it for a little
17:01
bit longer, I'd realize it's selling best-selling books. and getting
17:04
them on the New York Times. I didn't know Ruben
17:12
could be that funny. That was very good, wasn't it?
17:15
He's entertaining. He really is. And yeah, he picked right
17:19
up in the irony. I hate capitalism, but I'm going
17:21
to use it so I can buy a vacation house
17:23
on the lake of Vermont. Well, yes, being anti-capitalism is
17:28
the stance for everything that he has put out there
17:31
that has made him money. And he thinks that's okay.
17:37
That's the insanity. You're not even pointing out like, you
17:41
know, this isn't right. This is way too much money
17:43
for somebody just to, you know, write some words down
17:46
on a piece of paper. That's not what Bernie's saying.
17:48
He's taking the money. money. Yeah. But he got the
17:52
money because system that he hates, which. wants to destroy.
17:57
Yes. You don't think he's going to give up all
18:00
his money if the commies win and the country switches?
18:06
You think Bernie's going to give up all of his?
18:08
Well, I think Stalin had like six vacation homes. He
18:12
was very wealthy. And, you know, before, I remember reading
18:16
before Musk really became Musk and before the Soviet Union
18:21
fell, or maybe right around that time, Vlad Putin was
18:25
suspected of maybe being the richest guy on earth. Like
18:27
way, way, way back he had, I think he was
18:29
worth like 40, 50 billion. And that was before Gates
18:34
or Buffett. that that level you know so so those
18:38
commies can really let it make it pay they do
18:42
yeah they make a lot of money telling you that
18:44
this is a horrible horrible system yes which makes zero
18:49
sense oh for them it does well yeah because they
18:53
get money yes so that's it now interestingly enough I
18:57
found another dynamite clip of Michael Savage haven't heard much
19:01
from him lately but he's gonna he's gonna talk about
19:04
Bernie and do his impression. I'll let you and the
19:07
folks at home decide which is superior. Sanders is the
19:12
walking embodiment. communist and that hand of his that spittle
19:17
hand let me tell you why we need to have
19:19
a cooperation international cooperation on it operation with China on
19:25
the thing with AI. And the reason we need to
19:27
have it. Someone is going to dominate from space and
19:33
we'll all get killed. He's had more practice doing it,
19:39
there's no question. Definitely better. I mean, Rubens, I love
19:54
the Rubens like choking on his own larynx or something
19:57
at the end. That was kind of cool. But a
19:59
savage is...
20:00
beat on just the Bernie impression. Very good. Well, yeah.
20:04
And again, this is the far right media going after
20:09
the far left. This is the ball game that you're
20:11
getting no matter what. Yeah. reality of things gets so
20:19
lost somewhere in the middle, which is what No Agenda
20:22
kind of sprung up from. The fact that you... here.
20:26
You're getting this stuff here. How do you know who
20:28
to believe? And, you know, for a while it was
20:31
kind of, I won't say. able to kind of keep
20:35
score and fact check things and know which side is
20:39
telling the truth kind of and which side isn't but
20:43
it's actually getting harder and harder and harder. Now, the
20:50
one story that I... kind of exemplified this better than
20:54
anything else. because money's coming into the Trump family, is
21:00
the truth social API. And, you know, being a guy
21:06
who's kind of familiar with all this stuff, I'm like,
21:09
this doesn't seem right. We just have a couple of
21:12
clips on this. The first being from the senator from
21:16
your area, good old Chris Murphy. Oh, that guy. This
21:20
guy can spew more falsehoods and mistruths in a short
21:25
time. Anybody? I mean, right now, I think he may
21:29
be at the top of the game. May I add
21:31
my specialty? He does. He wears a... His hair is
21:35
not his own. It's like the lid on a coffee
21:37
pot. It's so bad. We have learned this over the
21:40
past few years of Planet Rage. Larry's superpower is being
21:44
able to tell if a guy is wearing a wig
21:47
or not. And if you've heard all those... The favorite
21:51
John C. DeVore clips. You know, one of them was
21:55
he claimed Adam Curry wore a wig back... TV days.
21:58
What say you, Larry? I mean, we're getting on the
22:00
spot. No, no. I know the real deal. And even
22:03
that big hair, which that's an easy fake. No, that's
22:08
all it is. Mamdami absolutely wears a rug. And though
22:15
he denies it, Rand Paul. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
22:20
I drive people crazy. They watch a show at my
22:22
house. It frees the damn TV. end up and point
22:26
at the follicles and say, look, here's the glue. Can
22:28
you see that? insane about that. Are you happy this
22:31
is your superpower? I am. People hate me everywhere for
22:35
it, but I don't care. I enjoy doing it. It's
22:38
like a kazoo player. You want to get rid of
22:40
them, but you can't. Here is Senator Chris Murphy on
22:45
the Truth Social API. is setting up an insider. service.
22:56
If you pay Donald Trump... Okay, again, I want to
23:00
be clear. paying Donald Trump, they're paying Truth Social, which
23:06
Donald Trump has in a trust his family owns part
23:11
or most of Truth Social. He may have the controlling
23:14
still, but this is not Donald Trump, the person doing
23:18
this. This is an entity which his family has control
23:24
over. Now, there is legally a difference, and I think
23:29
being a senator, Chris... knows that, but again, he... the
23:36
listener to believe that Donald corrupt. Of course he does.
23:44
Donald Trump, $100,000 a month, he will give you... to
23:52
the announcements he's making regarding federal policy. Early access to
23:58
information about tariff. to information Iran or early access to
24:03
information about what country he's bombing. Now, I just want
24:06
to point out to everybody that when he's saying early
24:10
access with an API into a social media platform, he's
24:16
not talking. you getting Donald Trump's post and they're saying
24:20
they're packaging up the top 10 accounts on Truth Social,
24:25
which I'm guessing Donald Trump has to be the number
24:27
one, but it's the top 10 accounts on Truth Social.
24:32
that you will get access to their posts. It will
24:35
be fed to you rather than you having to scrape
24:40
it using your own. sitting having an employee do nothing
24:44
but sit there and just hit refresh on Donald Trump
24:46
or whoever's post that you want so the reality on
24:51
this is when they say you're getting this information Early,
24:55
it's hundredths or thousandths of seconds earlier than everybody else.
25:03
Not even minutes. 100 grand for what period? A month?
25:12
A year? Yeah, for a month. That's incredible. Because AI,
25:16
baby, this is a trader. You know, these people that
25:21
work in the stock. They have automated systems, I'm sure.
25:26
Donald Trump's post and if they see that is good,
25:31
that oil is going to be going up, well then
25:33
buy this or sell this. And it's set up to
25:35
do it automatically and in that case, being a few
25:39
thousandths of a second faster might actually be a lot
25:43
of money. But this is not getting private information that
25:50
other people don't get. But I'm still not understanding why
25:53
anybody who's got that kind of money would figure it
25:56
was worth it for a millisecond advance on the knowledge.
25:59
I mean, because, you know, who could possibly type in
26:02
that bet to Polymarket or, you know, buy that oil
26:06
stock or whatever, huh? It's banks. If you see Donald
26:14
Trump says something and you're like, oh boy, XYZ Corporation's
26:18
about to go under. Well, if you're the first ones
26:21
to sell off that stock before everybody else does, it's
26:25
a weird world. It's absolutely a weird world. And it's
26:28
hard to wrap your brain around the fact that getting
26:31
information just a split second, literally, possibly under a second
26:37
quicker is worth paying that kind of money for. WRECK
26:44
that uses social media understands you requesting to see those
26:49
messages and if you have a notification set come out
26:55
to you if somebody makes a post, usually that's not
26:59
instantaneous. You've got the post. It's going to take 30
27:02
seconds or. seconds for it to even notice somebody you're
27:06
following that you have a notification set. So it could
27:08
be a couple of minutes later that. Somebody posted it.
27:13
This isn't the direct fire hose out. Anytime any of
27:16
these accounts post any. it's going directly to the people
27:20
that will pay. And it is an ungodly amount of
27:24
money, $100,000. That's impressive. Per month. I mean, God bless
27:29
capitalism, right, Bernie? Yeah. Next. This is a... that he
27:35
is running out in the open. But it's not a
27:38
criminal. I mean, I think eventually some of this is
27:41
actionable as far as what... folks say. I think you're
27:45
completely right. And if I, if I was the Donald,
27:48
I'd, I'd back away. I think he's loading the guns
27:51
for them. Possibly, yes. them to say exactly going to
27:57
say trump derangement syndrome is real yeah it is illegal
28:03
to make money off of in But this is an
28:06
inside information. Everybody. a split second faster. So it's not.
28:12
And again, so we get missed totally a senator from
28:17
the great state of Connecticut intentionally telling you something that's
28:23
not true. The rug wearing senator from Connecticut. I'll have
28:26
to add that into his bio. And of course, what
28:28
he left out is, you know, let's not forget how
28:31
truth social was established. Trump had. from all social media
28:37
because they just didn't like him. So he said, well,
28:40
screw you. I'm starting my own. And he did. So
28:43
good for him. And I will also point out that
28:45
X has an API very similar to this. Oh, do
28:50
they? So I'm guessing that perhaps even the blue skies,
28:53
I don't know. I would have to do a little
28:55
more research, but I know for sure X has one
28:58
that's very similar. This is for companies that want to
29:01
get information at a breakneck speed. where even the shortest
29:07
amount of time makes a difference. And for everybody using
29:11
these social media platforms... That the way they survive is
29:16
certainly not on the puny ads that you're seeing. No.
29:20
This is how they survive. Clients that pay big bucks
29:25
for access to that information not illegal. It is not
29:32
insider trading. It's not what it's being portrayed here by
29:38
Senator Murphy as at all. Donald Trump is literally setting
29:43
up a formal process by which you can pay him
29:47
a bribe in exchange for information that no one else
29:52
has. That no one else will have for at least
29:55
one one-thousandth of a second. This guy's nuts.
30:00
He's a weasel. a hundred thousand dollars a month big
30:05
billion dollar corporations have that money and when they have
30:08
advance notice of a tariff announcement they can place bets
30:14
on the market to be able to make millions of
30:17
dollars, while ordinary Americans, who cannot pay him for inside
30:22
information, get screwed. None of this is normal. A lot
30:28
of this is illegal. And I will just say to
30:31
companies out there. And I will just ask Senator Chris
30:34
Murphy, which parts of this is are illegal and explain
30:37
what the legal. statutes are that you are claiming it's
30:41
i'd love this is another tell when people just throw
30:46
out things like that, oh, much of this is illegal.
30:48
Well, if you actually knew, any rational person would be
30:52
like, well, he just did this, and this, according to
30:55
this law, is against the law. But no, they never
30:58
do that. If you choose to take part in this
31:04
scheme, and it proves to be illegal as it looks
31:08
on its face, you are going to eventually be held
31:12
accountable. So if you even take part, we're going to
31:15
get, this again is the Democrats way, isn't it? When
31:17
we get back in charge, if you pay Donald Trump
31:20
this money that we say is illegal, I mean, but
31:23
it's not, but we're going to say it's illegal. But
31:25
then when we get back in power, oh, you're going
31:27
to be held accountable. That seems like a threat. It's
31:33
always a threat. Right? Yeah. And this was covered. Bye.
31:39
I don't think he's listening live right now, sir. Bemrose's
31:41
favorite. pundent out there. We may need a jingle. This
31:47
is the leftist talking head, David Pakman, who's also been
31:53
proven to be taking, what, $80,000 a month from some
31:56
leftist group to... I thought it was $8,000. $8,000? Maybe
32:00
it was $8,000. You're right. He's not worth $80,000. He's
32:03
not in the Trump League. No. He can't afford the
32:06
API access. Donald Trump is putting the presidency up for
32:11
sale. Ooh, how do you buy the presidency, I ask?
32:15
and Wall Street firms willing to pay $100,000 a month
32:20
may get to cut the line. Let me explain this.
32:24
Trump can announce a tariff. He can announce a sanction
32:28
or a war. And it instantly moves financial markets. And
32:34
now a company benefiting his family wants to sell traders
32:40
earlier access to the announcements. Okay, at least give Pac-Man
32:44
credit over Chris Murphy and the fact that he said
32:46
it's a company controlled by his family, not the president.
32:50
Yes. Listen to this grift and corruption. Trump Media, which
32:57
owns Truth Social, has unveiled something called the Truth API.
33:02
And what it'll do is deliver posts from 10 influential
33:06
Truth Social accounts, including potentially Donald Trump's, to banks and
33:10
trading firms faster than ordinary users get them. And according
33:15
to Reuters, the company is looking at charging $100,000 a
33:19
month. If that seems steep, they've got a special offer.
33:25
60 grand a month. Now you might say... Whoa, whoa,
33:27
whoa, Darren, let's get in on that. It's only 60
33:29
a month. Come on, pony up. It's a bargain. We
33:31
can get Donald Trump's post in right into our desktop
33:35
in real time. Yes. There's almost no one on Truth
33:39
Social. It's such a stupid platform. Why would anyone pay
33:42
more than a million dollars a year to see Trump's
33:45
posts a little bit early? Because for high-frequency traders, milliseconds
33:51
can mean millions of dollars. Because these firms are using
33:54
computers. Everything is computer, as Trump says. These firms are
33:58
using computers to execute massive trades almost instantly. And so
34:03
if their computers learn about a market-moving announcement even a
34:05
fraction of a second before anybody else, They could buy
34:08
or sell whatever is going to be affected before the
34:11
price reflects everyone knowing that. And that he's right about.
34:16
And the reality with the AI systems now are that
34:22
these trades can be set up in a way. that
34:26
are nearly instantaneous. I mean, you're not going to have
34:30
a human being probably able to do anything to verify
34:35
that the AI is interpreting what is said correctly, which
34:39
also is kind of funny because I would think that
34:41
if Donald Trump has a typo in one of his
34:45
posts that says, I am doing something instead of I'm
34:49
not doing. Well, then you can have all sorts of
34:52
money get lost really quick because an AI is not
34:56
going to be smart enough because they don't think. to
35:00
know exactly what the original intent was. So that could
35:06
be something else moving forward that can be a huge
35:09
deal. A typo now can be a very, that is
35:13
obvious. And it could be a typo that's obvious to
35:16
you and me and every human being that is reading
35:20
it. Will a computer be able to figure that out?
35:25
And this is where. I've been asking... for years, both
35:32
listening to Adam and John here on no agenda, doing
35:36
the show with you, listening to, you know, Bill O'Reilly,
35:40
all of these new sources, listening to these David Pakman
35:43
clips, listening to the Midas touch guys. I know Adam
35:46
and John played clips from them. that are running a
35:52
non-stop fire hose. of lies, misinformation, and it comes on
36:00
both sides. There's a lot of the crazy alt-right people
36:03
as well that are throwing things out there that aren't
36:06
exactly true. And I'm like, what is? the point of
36:11
this. And yes, there's a two day effect, which is
36:15
people are reading it and they are getting spun up
36:19
for one reason or another. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's
36:22
not, but getting people angry, as we know, gets people
36:26
engaged. I realized that immediately on X because I rarely
36:33
interact on X. I'm like, it's kind of a waste
36:36
of time. But a couple of weeks ago, I just
36:40
decided to throw a snide comment. Oh. I know. It's
36:45
so hard to believe. I think it was at J.B.
36:47
Pritzker's account or one of these type things. And all
36:50
of a sudden, my timeline went all liberal politicians and
36:54
liberal pundits. It's like, this is magic. Yeah, it is.
36:58
Those algos are pretty good. The algos are real. And
37:01
that's the today part of this. But it's getting more
37:05
and more obvious to me. And thank you, Adam Curry
37:09
and John C. Dvorak, for making my amygdala the right
37:12
size and always looking for the reasons underneath, the reasons
37:17
behind, the reasons in the shadows. And I'm realizing now
37:23
all of these things are recorded. They're going down. They're
37:29
on the internet. Yes. Which is what all of these
37:33
AI systems are using. to gather their information, to decide
37:40
what's real. And I think there is a very big
37:45
possibility that so much of this stuff is being thrown
37:48
out there because. the major opinion that the AI sees
37:55
when it goes to scrape the data. is going to
37:58
be the one that it's most likely going to believe.
38:00
So if there's like 50 people yelling this. Yes, yes,
38:04
yes. Three people yelling the other thing? It's like, well,
38:08
who's the AI going to pay attention to? Of course.
38:12
Of course that's why they're doing it. So this is
38:14
why the blanketing of information, I believe, is ramping up
38:18
even more so than it has been. It will be
38:22
a constant avalanche, 24-7. By the way, I have some
38:26
advice for Donald Trump, in case he's listening. Because we
38:28
do know that people do listen to this show. They
38:31
won't admit it, but they do. Donate, Donald Trump. Yeah,
38:35
donate. And just make sure right after every entry you
38:39
make where it says, thank you for attention to this
38:41
matter, then your subscript should definitely, be a disclaimer. Truth
38:45
Social is not responsible for any financial gain or loss
38:48
you may experience because of this API. Get that done.
38:52
Get that done. It is, it's a very weird... world
38:57
where you will pay that much for access to information
39:02
a split second sooner. And you know companies are going
39:06
to do it. I mean, I don't know if they're
39:07
going to disclose how many companies are doing it, but...
39:12
I would bet that's going to be a moneymaker for
39:14
him. Could be. Or it could be a financial disaster.
39:18
We'll see. Stay tuned. Right. And of course, there's a
39:20
lot with AI that is truly. the question right now
39:26
is AI going to hit a bubble? I think it
39:29
is at some point as people realize. Exactly what it
39:35
is and the whole open AI getting out of the
39:38
sandbox thing. Well, that was the subject here of a
39:43
NBC news clip Well, let's break that down because you
39:48
talk about this as sort of a rogue incident that
39:50
has a connotation to it that for like it I'm
39:52
sort of like a self-described AI doomer where I see
39:55
something like this and I'm like, oh man, these things
39:56
are out of the box already. But what's the reality
39:59
check on that? Well,
40:00
Let me counter back. Okay. Also, horrible question. What's the
40:03
reality check on that? Why don't we just go back
40:06
and count the cliches he used in those three sentences
40:09
out of the box? I want to hear that again.
40:12
It's one cliche after another when this guy speaks. Well,
40:15
let's break that down. Stop. That's one. We're breaking it
40:18
down, everybody. Break it down. Sort of a rogue incident.
40:21
That has a connotation to it. I'm sort of like
40:24
a self-described AI doomer where I say something like this
40:27
and I'm like, oh, man, these things are out of
40:28
the box already. Out of the box? That's two. What's
40:31
the reality check on that? What's the reality check? We
40:34
have no reality. That's the check. Sorry about that. Well,
40:39
let me counterbalance then the doomerism, right? This is a
40:42
really exciting time. And in particular, in our research at
40:45
Sentinel-1, what we figured out is these new models like
40:48
GPT-5.6 Sol and Mythos, what they have is a new
40:51
emergent capability to do long horizon work, which unlocks some
40:55
very powerful things for cybersecurity, for defensive use cases, and
40:59
also for attacks. But keep in mind, right, when you
41:02
say something like these models went rogue, that implies something
41:06
that's not quite accurate, right? turned off the guardrails. They
41:09
had turned everything off precisely because this is the kind
41:12
of benchmark we want to run. They ran an experiment
41:15
to see if they would go rogue. And in fact,
41:17
they did. Well, just to see how well they could.
41:20
Right. That's part of the intelligence game is how good
41:22
are they at finding vulnerabilities? But those vulnerabilities were there
41:26
to begin with. Which is something that you have not
41:29
heard pointed out by the people that are trying to.
41:33
So the fear over this AI, which is this wasn't
41:38
really in a closed sandbox. What you're really seeing is
41:42
that this was a. user problem the company took you
41:47
know they set this up in order for this to
41:50
happen this all of these stories including one of the
41:53
earliest ones which was like well when an ai was
41:56
told it was going to be shut off it decided
41:59
to blackmail the the coder because it had access to
42:03
his email and it was all set up. You know,
42:07
it's like this is all a game and they're seeing
42:09
what these systems can do. And they're moving from being
42:13
a one step AI, which is the chat bots that
42:17
you could just ask a simple question. It gives you
42:19
an answer and then it's done. Yes. These newer systems
42:24
are set to kind of daisy chain and can do
42:27
multiple things, which if you set them up the right
42:30
way can be great. But it's also I mean. I
42:35
think most people listening. to no agenda understand what a
42:40
script kitty is in the hacking world, which is, I
42:43
don't know what the hell that is. I have no
42:45
idea. You're an anti Ben. I guess I am. It's
42:48
true. There are already a bunch of software packages out
42:53
there. There are resources online, which show you how to
42:58
be a hacker. So basically your hacking skills are, you
43:02
get a little app, little program from somebody, a little
43:04
script, and you run it. is the majority of what
43:09
your hacking skills are. Now, for a company or a
43:13
computer system that is well protected, that's not gonna work.
43:18
But if somebody just threw something out there and there
43:21
was no protection on it whatsoever, the information on how
43:25
to be a hacker exists on the internet. So of
43:30
course, an AI is going to have access to that
43:33
information. And why do they call it a kiddie script?
43:37
It's a, well, it's a script kitty. It's a, because
43:41
this is where the real hackers would make fun of
43:44
these low level kids that are using scripts. They became
43:48
the script kitties. Oh, kitty with two D's. I thought
43:51
it was TTY. All right. Yes. Thank you. And I
43:55
think this is a moment where we're seeing the emperor
43:57
has no clothes, vulnerability is rampant, and we need to
44:01
figure out how to leverage AI in defensive ways, in
44:04
ways that are not obvious. Who's the we in that
44:07
sentence, right? Because, I mean, I covered Congress for a
44:09
long time. Do you see the federal government or state
44:12
governments? Like, is anyone up to the regulatory challenge here?
44:16
There's no such thing as there just being like a
44:18
single body that's going to sort this out. But regulation
44:21
is definitely an important part of this. that we need
44:25
to be careful about because of the amount of fear-mongering
44:27
that's going into this. There's a game for regulatory capture,
44:30
there's a lot of interests that are sort of playing
44:32
in between. In reality for cybersecurity, what you'd want to
44:35
be looking at is something like software liability more so
44:38
than a kill switch. Right, you need some adult supervision
44:41
here, but it has to be sophisticated. Because adults are
44:45
the ones that know how, uh... what they're doing. And
44:49
again, there are so many things. Out in the wild.
44:52
Yeah. There is no way to put kill switches on
44:58
the software that's already been released. There's no putting the
45:02
genies. back in the bottle. Good. And to hell with
45:06
adult supervision, too. Right, because, hey, we've seen enough here
45:10
outside of Chirac with all of the teen takeovers, which
45:14
are not, of course, mob actions, according to the mayor
45:16
of Chicago. Yeah, he wouldn't lie. Do your parents know
45:19
where your kids are? They don't. Sam Altman was asked
45:23
about the safety. Of course, he's the head of OpenAI.
45:28
And he just kind of shrugs. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
45:33
was on the Hill today to preview their new business
45:35
model, their new models, where Fox Business reporter Darren Botello
45:39
asked him about this. Do you plan to talk to
45:42
the Trump administration White House about deceleration of AI development?
45:47
I wouldn't use the word deceleration, but we've talked about
45:49
the need to pace it as the models get more
45:51
capable, which I think is in everyone's interest. Could there
45:53
be other systems that were hacked by OpenAI? in the
45:57
Caribbean. I mean, there could be. Is that correct? No,
46:03
I mean, that's the problem. Okay. You're dealing with something,
46:07
as I always like to harp on with a lot
46:10
of these things. Work on AI is going on worldwide.
46:17
So if every company in the United States is like,
46:19
hey, hey, hey, we're going to slow everything down by
46:22
33% magic number or more. Yeah. Do you think they're
46:26
going to do that in China? No. They're going to
46:29
do more with coal. Yes. And I'm in favor of
46:31
that. Yeah. Well, what did I see the other day?
46:33
We have like 600 years of fossil fuels at our
46:38
capacity. So why are we worried? And that's just West
46:41
Virginia. Wow. Yeah. It's amazing. Things that politicians do because
46:48
they don't know what they're doing. That's why politicians getting
46:51
involved in AI is somewhat laughable. The shrug that tells
46:59
a thousand stories here. This comes as more than 1,100
47:03
staffers from across top AI firms have signed a petition
47:07
calling on the government to help deliberately pace AI development
47:11
because it's just advancing too fast. I don't know what
47:14
that means. Deliberately pace. I want to see how that's
47:17
implemented. That's quite a statement. Deliberately pace. Okay. Being that,
47:21
again, we are in a capitalist society for a while.
47:26
that the company or the person, whoever comes up with
47:31
the best product. is going to make the money. Not
47:37
always. But in this case, it was better than VHS.
47:41
Well, you got a better picture, but you could put
47:43
longer amounts of one more hour tape on it, but
47:46
it wasn't worth it. It was crap. I still have
47:49
a stereo Betamax somewhere in the basement, man. I'm telling
47:51
you. Yeah. They were great for recording concerts back in
47:55
the day. Yeah. But this is a total, just idiotic
48:02
take that we can slow down. what the AI is
48:07
doing now. I mean, you can, but again, nobody else
48:12
is going to slow down and using these. alleged the
48:19
AI got out of the box stories. It's not true
48:24
as we have here from France 24. Wow, the French
48:26
actually got something right. They talk about how these incidents
48:32
that happened were not. just AIs going rogue, but they
48:37
were, you know, more of a game that was put
48:39
into the AI to solve a problem. After two of
48:43
the world's biggest AI companies revealed their models had hacked
48:46
computer systems during testing. Anthropic Thursday said its Claude AI
48:52
model hacked the systems of three organizations. After more than
48:56
141,000 evaluations, it revealed, "Each incident involved a different fictional
49:03
capture-the-flag scenario. For example, in one, Claude played an employee
49:07
of a made-up company, attacking that company's internal systems inside
49:11
a private test environment." The disclosure comes just days after
49:16
rival OpenAI revealed one of its AI agents carried out
49:20
a days-long hacking campaign during testing exercises. The company says
49:25
the bot targeted AI developer Hugging Face and multiple publicly
49:29
available services. The incidences come as governments race to keep
49:47
up with the technology. On Saturday, the president's AI executive
49:51
order is due after federal agencies were given 60 days
49:54
to design a voluntary safety framework for advanced AI developers.
50:00
On Sunday, the European Union goes even further, enforcing most
50:03
of its landmark AI Act, the world's first comprehensive legislation
50:08
governing artificial intelligence. Oh, yeah, that'll work. I think you've
50:11
got a fetish for this hugging face thing, Darren. I'm
50:14
starting to worry about you. Can we get that funky
50:17
music to play under everything we say? The whole show.
50:22
France, I think they need that to make the news
50:25
more interesting. But they're saying, hey, they're worried about falling
50:28
behind in the AI. Well, no way. I thought we
50:30
were supposed to be slowing down the AIs. Again, the
50:35
OpenAI thing, according to a Wired article I read, which
50:39
I don't always believe Wired, but... This was more user
50:44
error and when this happened... It was part of a
50:49
new system, not the regular AI. It had intentionally left
50:56
the guardrails, whatever that means for each AI. It intentionally
51:00
left those off. and then put it out there to
51:04
see what it can do. And basically you were asking
51:06
though. What can it do? And the AI world is
51:10
going to be... both great and horrible for network and
51:15
computer security because It's going to make it very easy
51:19
to find the vulnerabilities. With that said... then the people
51:23
writing the software should be able to. fix those vulnerabilities.
51:29
So is anybody out there cooking up a virus that
51:32
will destroy AI? Cause I want to donate to their
51:35
fund. If your buddy McAfee was still around, he would
51:38
probably be doing. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. I would, I
51:40
would love to see that happen. It's really this whole
51:42
aid. I think is really starting to. And I want
51:46
there to be someone out there to destroy it, to
51:48
just immolate it. Well, because it's everywhere. You can't call.
51:53
I called up Comcast. My parents' modem blew out. So
51:58
I went in, got a new modem at Walmart. Because,
52:01
I mean, screw Comcast. And went to go set it
52:06
up. In the old days, you called them up on
52:07
the phone. You said, hey, tech support. Great. Real person.
52:11
Here's the Mac address. It's done. Now it's an AI
52:15
who says you have to go to the app. It's
52:16
like, well, I didn't have my cell phone. I didn't
52:18
have an app. I couldn't do it. that you can't
52:22
get a real person, but more and more, anywhere you
52:23
call, you get to talk to an AI. Really? It's
52:28
infuriating. The fix for that is there was a great
52:31
sci-fi horror novel. Long time ago, I read it when
52:33
I was in college. I think the title was something
52:36
like Telefon with a European spelling. T-E-L-E-F-O-N. And the premise
52:41
was some dude figured out a way. to rocket like
52:46
9,000 amps through a phone line. Yeah. And so he
52:51
could just call anybody and blow their head up. That's
52:54
a great game. Right? That's what I want somebody to
52:57
figure out that for AI. And he can send it
53:00
to one of Mr. Wonderful's data centers, you know, the
53:04
one that covers the entire state of Rhode Island. And
53:07
just, boom, it's gone. Even Willie Nelson's against data centers.
53:12
Is he? Yeah. It's like there's a lot of misunderstanding
53:15
there as well. I mean, I really don't, I'm just
53:18
bored with it all. I'm just so bored. It's like,
53:22
when will this go away? Well, it totally destroyed any
53:26
other news on the tech and computer. That whole sector's
53:32
gone. Hard drives are out of control price-wise. It's insane.
53:36
Yeah, some friends of mine from L.A., their son is
53:40
dating an OnlyFans chick. million a year. I can see
53:49
that. And then she'll soon just like take a, you
53:52
know, a video of herself and then just give it
53:54
to an AI and then it'll just make the content
53:56
while she's off doing whatever she wants to. I guess.
53:58
Yeah. And she isn't even allegedly, I mean, I haven't
54:00
seen, but supposedly she's not doing nude stuff. It's just
54:03
suggestive, you know, bikini shots and so forth. And so
54:07
like that's interesting tech talk, really. Well, I know Sir
54:12
Gene likes to get mentioned on the show. Mention him.
54:15
He likes to watch somebody just do cooking. And again,
54:19
no, no R-rated. He just watched somebody cook. Does it
54:23
have to be Russian food? Maybe. Maybe it does. But
54:28
just a couple more little clips here on the AI.
54:30
This is Anthropic saying it was a testing failure, not
54:34
a rogue AI, just a testing failure. Warning. God. Kate
54:39
Rooney has a lot more for us on. Man, these
54:41
stories, they get me a little worried, Kate. I don't
54:43
know about you. David, it is the takeaway. I think
54:46
this is adding to a lot of the worry around
54:48
AI. And as you mentioned, it's the latest cybersecurity issue
54:52
in AI. Agent Claude accidentally hacked real companies during what
54:59
was supposed to be cybersecurity testing. Anthropic didn't say which
55:03
companies were involved, but it does argue that this was
55:05
an issue with the setup for these tests. So the
55:08
AI model, according to Anthropic, they said that they thought
55:12
it was in a closed environment. So they thought they
55:14
were essentially attacking a simulated target. Turns out that was
55:17
not the case. These were real companies. Anthropic does argue
55:21
the incidents were the result of a testing environment failure
55:24
and researchers basically, left a door open and all that.
55:27
They claim it wasn't AI going rogue or breaking out
55:30
here. Anthropic said they started this, quote, retrospective review after
55:34
OpenAI's incident last week. They say they ran 141,000 evaluations
55:39
as part of that and then encouraged other companies to
55:41
go out and check their own AI agents. As a
55:43
result, this was all kicked off by OpenAI in a
55:46
separate and in some ways similar issue just last week.
55:50
Yeah, art imitating life. Anybody old enough to remember the
55:53
War Games movie with Matthew Broderick? and Ali Sheedy in
55:57
it. I remember the movie, but I never saw it.
55:59
Tell me about it. I mean, as a nerd back
56:01
in the day, that was the best movie ever. What
56:04
was it about? It's a kid that dials in, because
56:09
he has a modem that does magical things. I like
56:12
this. This is good. Keep going. And it goes and
56:14
it looks for numbers and the answer is a computer.
56:16
And then he thought he was hacking into a game
56:18
system. It turns out it was the Pentagon and he
56:22
was playing with the computer. the whopper which the w-o-p-r
56:29
i mean not not a burger king thing no believe
56:31
it or not okay and this was the computer that
56:36
the government was using to run war gaming strategies so
56:41
it was you know one of these things were like
56:43
well if we launch the first nuke then this is
56:45
what's going to happen if they launch the first nuke
56:47
if this happens it all it did was the play-by-play
56:51
in its imaginary world. What would happen if all of
56:56
these war-type things happened? What would the response be? This
57:01
was kind of like playing games of chess over and
57:03
over and over again. I like it. And the reality
57:07
was this kind of sounds like exactly this, which is,
57:11
oh, well, the computer thought this was real, so it
57:14
was acting. as though were real. So maybe AI will
57:20
self-destruct, whether it's sentient or not. It just seems to
57:22
be attacking other systems and stuff. The AIs will probably
57:26
all end up fighting each other. Good. Good. I like
57:29
that. Maybe one will win or none will win. And
57:33
CNBC also does talk a little bit about the script
57:35
kitties. I know OpenAI reportedly deactivated one of the models,
57:39
so that's off. But for an open source model, there's
57:43
no telling who and where and how many times that
57:45
model has been downloaded. So there's no way to deactivate.
57:49
There's no sort of kill switch that is even possible.
57:52
Is that right? That's absolutely right. And what's more concerning
57:57
about it and what this has actually done is, you
57:59
know, our security programs were designed to handle the normal
58:02
amount of thresholds of hackers out there. So if you
58:04
look at hackers, let's just say, you know, 98% of
58:07
them are, you know, generally skilled hackers, but they're not
58:09
super elite. Well, what's happened with models is it now,
58:12
you know, creates that 98% of just average hackers and
58:15
makes them elite hackers. have a much higher population of
58:19
elite hackers that are able to breach systems. And these
58:21
models are very, very good. And they study offensive capabilities.
58:26
In fact, my book was-- I got a class action
58:29
lawsuit for my Metasploit book that I wrote. And Anthropic
58:32
used it to train its own models to figure out
58:33
how to hack better. And so these models are really
58:36
selective on offensive capabilities. And there's no way to track
58:39
it. Anybody can download it. And literally, you can be
58:42
a kid out of high school that has barely touched
58:44
a computer and just played video games and say, hey,
58:45
I want you to hack this company. set up properly
58:48
it'll start hacking that company for you Can you feel
58:51
the fear coming off of those clips? Any kid just
58:54
out of high school could just download some software. Were
58:57
there police sirens in the back? Okay, that's a good
59:00
mad pop. And I got to tell you, they used
59:02
a phrase that just whipsawed my head with attention. Okay,
59:05
it's a perfect hit movie log line. No way to
59:08
stop it. When I hear that. No kill switch. No
59:12
kill switch. I like that. It's just as good. Maybe
59:14
better. No kill switch. This is good. This is where
59:17
I like to see AI going. Self-destruction. Yes. Again, I
59:21
know I harp on it, but the fact is what
59:23
people are accessing with Claude and ChatGPT online is available
59:30
at home on your desktop. Maybe slightly less capable of
59:36
models, but. You have full control. So all of this,
59:39
oh no, we're going to be able to put guardrails
59:41
on the AI. That is a pipe dream. Not going
59:44
to happen. It is more imaginary. than reality and there's
59:50
one last clip here on the ai because you know
59:52
if you're going to use ai for something larry yeah
59:55
you may as well give it a really good use
59:59
You've heard
1:00:00
term catfishing as popularized in the MTV reality series Catfish.
1:00:05
Sometimes a little bit of fiction leads to a whole
1:00:09
lot of reality. Where people craft fake online personas to
1:00:13
mislead others, particularly when it comes to dating and romance.
1:00:17
And now some dating app users say potential matches are
1:00:20
enlisting the help of AI chatbots to help them flirt
1:00:23
and communicate, labeling it chatfishing. The more I read it,
1:00:28
the more I was like, This just makes less and
1:00:31
less sense. This doesn't make sense in the context of
1:00:34
a real human conversation. 27-year-old Brianna Dobson said she was
1:00:39
messaging with a connection she made on a dating app
1:00:42
when she says the texts felt off. I got a
1:00:45
couple red flags from it, but I was like, okay.
1:00:46
I know. Can you imagine? The texts felt off. There
1:00:49
was a lot of EM dashes. There was... A lot
1:00:54
of very weird language and... I mean, people, I guess,
1:00:57
don't understand that. Your speaking and your writing has a
1:01:03
certain style. Were these one-handed texts, do you think? No,
1:01:07
I think this was lazy dudes. Oh, okay. Who didn't
1:01:11
want to have to spend the time conversing with the
1:01:16
women on whatever dating site this was. That's insulting. And
1:01:20
decided that it would just set up their AI. And
1:01:23
this isn't hard to do. Again, you can do this
1:01:25
with an AI on your desk. Where it can check
1:01:29
your emails. It can check whatever and then respond. So
1:01:33
it was just trying to get, which is hilarious when
1:01:36
you think about it. It is funny because you could
1:01:38
have a conversation, go back and forth and be like,
1:01:41
oh, well, we'll ask her, you know, what kind of
1:01:43
music she likes and food. And then, you know, if
1:01:45
she doesn't match these three or four things, well then,
1:01:48
you know, move on to the next one. But right.
1:01:52
But how lazy do you have to be for an
1:01:55
AI to have to take over your interaction? Then how
1:01:58
do you know? That the woman, I mean, this goes
1:02:01
both ways. But how do you know the person on
1:02:03
the other side isn't using AI? This could be two
1:02:06
AIs talking to each other. That's a cool concept. Uh-huh.
1:02:10
There's no, I mean, bot traffic right now on the
1:02:13
internet. They believe, and it's so hard. to get a
1:02:18
real number on this, but they believe that bot traffic
1:02:21
now is outpacing real human being traffic. So there's more
1:02:27
bot stuff. This was like when YouTube first came to
1:02:30
be and they're like, oh my God, you see how
1:02:32
much bandwidth YouTube is taking? Now it's all the bots
1:02:36
and they might just be trying to find a love
1:02:38
connection between the two bots, I guess. when she says
1:02:42
the texts felt off. I got a couple red flags
1:02:46
from it, but I was like, okay, maybe this is
1:02:48
just, maybe they're socially awkward or they just communicate very
1:02:51
formally. So I entertained it. And the second message I
1:02:55
got was so obviously AI generated. So that would be
1:03:00
a really big tell for people used to using. text
1:03:04
speak if all of a sudden you're like yes madam
1:03:06
hello how are you this evening Come on! Suddenly it's
1:03:11
Jeeves. Uh-huh. Exactly. Maybe she likes Jeeves. I don't know.
1:03:16
The second message I got was so obviously AI generated.
1:03:20
So Dobson decided to call them out. The switch up
1:03:23
was crazy. The just change in the way that he
1:03:26
talked and he doubled down. He absolutely doubled down, even
1:03:30
though his texting style completely changed everything. 66-year-old Lainey Rada
1:03:35
says, well, she's found success in the past on dating
1:03:38
apps. A recent date admitted during an in-person meeting that
1:03:41
they used AI to chat with her online. like I
1:03:46
wouldn't do that. I've always pride myself on being authentic
1:03:51
so if I'm gonna meet somebody you have to show
1:03:54
up you have to show up in every way. Relationship
1:03:58
experts say that while chatbots can be a helpful tool
1:04:01
for expression, transparency is key for fostering genuine connections. Be
1:04:06
honest you know be honest with the person and just
1:04:08
let them know that you are a little bit uncomfortable
1:04:10
with communicating and that you're relying on AI to help
1:04:14
but I feel like honesty is because if you hide
1:04:17
behind masks, the masks are going to eventually fall off.
1:04:21
Wow. Wow. Okay. Is that even worse, Larry? Yeah, it
1:04:27
is. I think it is. So instead of just using
1:04:29
AI, not saying anything about it and be like, oh,
1:04:34
I'm really not good at, you know, talking or communicating.
1:04:37
So can you talk to this AI and see if
1:04:40
you're interested in me? too much man the world it's
1:04:46
it's it's so sad i'm so glad i missed this
1:04:48
crap when i was dating and you know it was
1:04:51
so much fun really when i in retrospect now to
1:04:53
think about walking into a some meat market bar you
1:04:57
know and walking up to some babe and just starting
1:05:00
to see if you can make it roll you know
1:05:02
nobody has that thrill anymore i can't imagine stroking a
1:05:05
phone you know to meet somebody it's like what what
1:05:11
how can i don't it's A-I-N? And you're just asking
1:05:17
for trouble between the different scams. I mean, guys get
1:05:20
hit all the time. Women do too. There was the
1:05:23
one story where the woman thought she was... having a
1:05:26
relationship with Brad Pitt, who somehow convinced her to send
1:05:30
him money. Like, oh my goodness, this little phone in
1:05:34
the pocket. But a lot of this is going down
1:05:37
to the younger generations. And I'm with you. I am
1:05:41
glad we missed this. Yeah. I am glad we didn't
1:05:46
have cell phones as kids. The Brad Pitt thing isn't
1:05:50
that illogical. I'll tell you why. I remember when I
1:05:54
was living in L.A. This was before I was married.
1:05:56
There was a club a couple miles from my house
1:06:00
called, great name, the Pelican's Retreat. And it was right
1:06:03
off the Ventura Highway. And it was some big mansion
1:06:06
that some guy said, hey, we'll make this into a
1:06:08
club. So it had a bunch of rooms and fireplaces
1:06:11
and two stages and bands. And it was a happening
1:06:14
place. Got quite a crowd. And so one night I'm
1:06:17
in there, I'm bellying up to the bar, and I
1:06:19
look to my left, and who's right beside me but
1:06:22
Kelsey Grammer. Ooh. Yeah. The rare conservative in L.A. Exactly.
1:06:27
And I think this was probably before, I think it
1:06:29
was just like kind of a big deal with Cheers.
1:06:31
I don't know if his own show had broken yet,
1:06:33
or maybe it was early in that stage, whatever. But
1:06:35
I was like shocked, you know. And I'm watching him,
1:06:38
and he's kind of doing what I'm doing. You know,
1:06:40
he's looking around, eyeing these chicks. And so I struck
1:06:43
up this conversation, and then I finally said, hey, man,
1:06:47
Like, you're kind of a big TV star. Why are
1:06:51
you doing what I'm doing? It's what works. Yeah. And
1:06:58
he says, you know, it's not easy as you might
1:07:00
think. And I said, come on, you probably got a
1:07:02
fan club, you got all kinds of stuff. He said,
1:07:04
no, it's not quite like that, you know. And I
1:07:08
actually saw him a couple more times there. So I
1:07:10
knew he wasn't conning me. He wasn't Zooming me. It
1:07:13
was actually, this is his. what it was like. And
1:07:16
I guess that's true as well. There was a great
1:07:19
story going back about 10 years and some, like, I
1:07:24
think she was a phone sex operator or something. And
1:07:28
somehow she got a hold of the numbers of De
1:07:31
Niro, several big, big time movie stars. and started just
1:07:37
kind of, you know, audio stroking them. And her name
1:07:41
was something like, wasn't Minerva Miranda? It might have been
1:07:44
Miranda, yeah. And I don't think that she was ever
1:07:47
revealed who she was, but she conned several of these
1:07:51
guys into like meetups and stuff. And they were as
1:07:53
big as it got in Hollywood. So there. You have
1:07:57
to be careful who's on the other end of the
1:07:58
phone. Now it's the internet. You never know. You never
1:08:01
know. This is a clip, sorry, it's an AI voice
1:08:04
reading an article, but it was better than nothing. There
1:08:07
was a... Gen Z study done. And this kind of
1:08:13
rolls right into that because... Gen Z is not fans
1:08:19
of going out to loud, crowded places like, you know,
1:08:23
bars like you're talking about. And I mean, you've got
1:08:26
kids that are around this age. I don't know what
1:08:28
their interactions are and what they do and what their
1:08:32
friends do. They tell me nothing, Darren. They don't tell
1:08:34
me a goddamn thing. That's smart. It is smart. Especially
1:08:38
with me. You're right. There's a good reason for their
1:08:40
actions. Don't tell Larry anything about what you're doing. No.
1:08:46
But it's a completely different world now than when you
1:08:50
and I were in our 20s. Yeah. The Harris Poll
1:08:54
found that 68% of Gen Z adults agree that, Going
1:08:58
out these days isn't worth the damage it does to
1:09:00
my wallet. On top of that, 62% of Gen Zers
1:09:04
avoid making weekend plans because they don't want to experience
1:09:07
financial regret afterward. Rather, they stay home to save money
1:09:11
and use that spare money on necessities and bills. The
1:09:15
pressures go beyond finances. Social experiences play a part as
1:09:19
well. Osiecki said, become genuinely costly and the traditional social
1:09:25
formats loud, crowded, alcohol-centered are increasingly unappealing to this generation.
1:09:32
The Harris Poll found roughly 9 in 10 Gen Zers
1:09:36
are actively opting out of nightlife staples, with 39% saying
1:09:40
they actively avoid large group hangouts and 38% saying they
1:09:44
avoid loud, crowded spaces. Instead, they are looking to make
1:09:48
social plans that cost less and ask less. Alas, these
1:09:53
financial strains and quieter social life desires usher in increased
1:09:57
loneliness. Osiecki tolls straight on
1:10:00
quote, The Harris Poll found that more than half of
1:10:12
Gen Z adults experience weekend loneliness, the highest rate of
1:10:16
any generation. Osiecki said, quote, of the youngest generation of
1:10:31
adults want to be social. environments they want to be
1:10:36
in. In fact, 85% of those polled have already found
1:10:40
workarounds to be a lower cost. Meanwhile, 62% wish their
1:10:45
online friendships turned into real and 71% feel like they're
1:10:49
missing out on in-person experience that older generations had. That's
1:10:54
just so bizarre to me. Yeah. I don't know if
1:10:57
I believe anybody named Osiyaki. I would revise those people.
1:11:02
take the advice of the village people and join the
1:11:04
YMCA. Well, that was my. because there was a two-fold
1:11:11
thing. this Harris Hole, which was pretty much the younger
1:11:16
generation. doesn't know how to interact outside of their phone.
1:11:22
That's true. And that they have no money. And I
1:11:27
don't know if that's overall the case. I've got a
1:11:31
few nieces and nephews and they're all doing way better
1:11:34
than I am. So I don't understand who the average.
1:11:40
And there's also a lot of things you can do
1:11:44
that. a lot of money. Everybody gets together hanging out.
1:11:47
If you live in an area where there's a They
1:11:50
just hang out and sit by a fire. There's a
1:11:54
lot of things you can do, even if it's going
1:11:56
to a bar. I mean, you could just buy one
1:11:59
soft drink. You don't have to drink, kids. This is
1:12:02
true. I don't know what the cover charges are these
1:12:04
days. They might be exorbitant. Depends on the bar, I
1:12:07
suppose. I think they're blowing all their money on expensive...
1:12:14
They should cut back on that crap. And their AI
1:12:17
so they can talk to other people. They're doing trouble.
1:12:20
That's what it is. Yeah. I got to get my
1:12:24
information from the Donald so I know when to buy
1:12:26
my. I know. We're from a different generation. But Gen
1:12:32
Zers, I mean, write in. Let me know if this
1:12:36
is really... Overall, why are the... I thought everything's great,
1:12:42
all the minimum wages have been raised to- dollars a
1:12:45
year. I mean, it's, you know, I'm not really. the
1:12:51
big money part comes from and then along with that
1:12:54
I don't understand why they can't find reasonable ways to
1:13:01
go out and interact that we're afraid we might make
1:13:05
a financial decision that is bad. Really, you're not investing
1:13:12
in a mutual fund. You're buying a drug. Right. I
1:13:14
mean, of course, sometimes the drinks... I remember when we
1:13:19
were in Ireland, we were at a hotel bar, and
1:13:24
I guess Randy Travis and his band had just been
1:13:26
through there the night before, and they drank them out
1:13:29
of Bushmills. Oh, wow. I mean, that takes something. Yes,
1:13:34
it does. I think I was ordering for a buddy
1:13:38
of mine that we were in Ireland, and like, oh,
1:13:42
give me two double black Bush. And then I got
1:13:46
the whole story of how, Thank you. Travis Band had
1:13:50
drank them out. And I'm like, okay, well, what do
1:13:52
you got? And he's like, well, we have the Bushmills,
1:13:55
I think it was 16-year. Oh, or McAllen 24. Right,
1:13:59
I mean, kind of. And I'm like, okay, well, give
1:14:01
me two of those. And the guy's like, well, those
1:14:02
are like 54 euro a piece. And I'm like, I've
1:14:06
never had a bartender try to talk me out of
1:14:08
a drink before. And yeah, because really you're there. What
1:14:14
are you going to do? What are you going to
1:14:16
do? But I've never had a bar. That was the
1:14:18
only time in my life a bartender's ever like, do
1:14:20
you know how much that is? Thoughtful bartender. Worried about
1:14:24
your budget. The Irish are the nicest people ever. I
1:14:29
mean, we haven't been there now in too long. I
1:14:32
mean, it's been, you know, 15, 18 years, something like
1:14:35
that. Yeah. But that was the one place where if
1:14:37
you were... It was really a fun thing to do.
1:14:40
If you would stand on a fairly busy street corner
1:14:45
and look around like you were confused, if you were
1:14:49
going to do that for longer than 30 seconds, somebody
1:14:52
was going to come up to you and be like,
1:14:53
hey, can I help? That's true. Yes. Yes. That was
1:14:57
amazing. Yeah. And I found they were so smart because
1:15:02
the average guy doing anything, you don't have to find
1:15:06
some university professor. wallpapered with degrees to find somebody who
1:15:12
knows exactly what's going on in the world. Guys driving
1:15:15
forklifts and laying bricks and stuff. Like everybody in Ireland
1:15:18
that I met there was dialed in and knew what
1:15:21
was happening. It was pretty amazing. Yeah, they do keep
1:15:25
up. So Irish, we need more Irish. Yeah, more of
1:15:28
that. We definitely need more Irish. Now the other big
1:15:30
story that has been going on is these, I mean,
1:15:35
I wanted to say it would be like the Watergate.
1:15:38
No, Watergate's already a thing. So it's like Water Hacking
1:15:41
Gate, I guess. Water Hacking Gate. Oh, yeah, you haven't
1:15:44
heard about this? No, no. This is very interesting. A
1:15:47
bunch of water treatment plants in Minnesota. I mean, imagine.
1:15:54
Oh, stop right there. Imagine. I mean, how do you
1:15:58
think things can go wrong in Minnesota, right? I mean,
1:16:00
it's got such great leadership with Timmy Walls. on what
1:16:09
happened. This morning, the FBI and EPA out with a
1:16:14
warning to water and wastewater facilities, alerting them to a
1:16:17
surge in cyber attacks. at least seven states now reporting
1:16:21
incidents to federal authorities. Some of the operations affected, according
1:16:25
to the FBI, include flooding and loss of pressure, which
1:16:28
could potentially allow untreated groundwater to seep into pipes. The
1:16:32
warning comes amid a wide-scale cyber attack targeting more than
1:16:36
30 water treatment systems in Minnesota. Authorities have not yet
1:16:39
identified who is responsible for the Minnesota attack, but sources
1:16:43
tell us a number of officials suspect Iran-linked hackers may
1:16:46
be involved. Okay, now remember that because we're Unlinked. We're
1:16:51
going to find out why they think. Just remember these
1:16:54
are the stories that everybody thinks it could be Iran
1:16:58
linked hackers that are going after these water treatment plants
1:17:03
and water facilities. Minnesota and then there were a few
1:17:07
other states that were mentioned as well in one case
1:17:11
the hackers were able to actually shut down the flow
1:17:14
of water from the treatment plant in the tiny city
1:17:18
of Brom, forcing officials to provide clean water to residents
1:17:22
already stored in its water tower. In a statement, the
1:17:25
city says it was informed that there were at least
1:17:27
four other communities attacked with the same result. The city
1:17:31
of Maple Plain declaring a local emergency that was in
1:17:34
effect for two days, and the city of Plymouth also
1:17:37
affected. One reason officials are suspicious of Iranian involvement, so
1:17:42
far the hackers are not asking for ransom money. to
1:17:46
deny service. Rebecca? Yeah, that's... What is the smoking gun,
1:17:52
you might ask, Larry, on why? Yeah, what's a smoking
1:17:54
gun? What is it? They didn't ask for any ransom.
1:17:58
That's the reason why we think it's Iran. I thought
1:18:01
this was going to solve the explosive diarrhea syndrome. No,
1:18:05
but I mean, really, if they could get access to
1:18:07
it. This shows also the insanity of governments, especially local
1:18:15
governments, that want things to be super convenient and wire
1:18:23
up all of these types of resources to the internet.
1:18:27
I mean, we've had water treatment plants in all of
1:18:29
this long before the internet existed. So why are you
1:18:34
hooking them up to the internet? Well, so Joe could
1:18:37
sit at home and know if something goes wrong, I
1:18:39
guess. Don't worry. Once AI is running the water, it'll
1:18:42
all be fine, Darren. So just chill out, baby. We
1:18:45
need water AIs. That's what we need. Yeah. But Donald
1:18:48
Trump not buying that. Iranian hackers. I'm not either. Can
1:18:53
you rule out that Iran is behind that cyber attack?
1:18:57
Do you like the question again? Thank you, mainstream media.
1:19:00
Can you rule out that Iran's behind that? No, but
1:19:04
I can't rule out that you're behind it either. So
1:19:07
welcome to America, baby. I don't know. I think Minnesota
1:19:12
is behind it. You know who's behind it? Minnesota. Right.
1:19:18
Because it's so badly wronged. as a state. And he
1:19:24
has a valid point there. Again, you want to go
1:19:26
right back to what we were talking about with the
1:19:28
script kitties and AI right now. This is the perfect
1:19:33
time for people that want to be wannabe hackers that
1:19:37
can do things that they wouldn't have been able to
1:19:40
do without the resources that they have now and attacking
1:19:45
something like a water plant. those things. And again, why
1:19:49
is it hooked up to the internet? Who knows? Yeah.
1:19:52
If they want to do something smart, dose it with
1:19:53
LSD. That'll get some interest. They've tried that before, haven't
1:19:57
they? It was in a movie. Bye.
1:20:00
I forget what it was called, but yeah, it was,
1:20:02
it worked out well in the movie. It was crazy.
1:20:04
Fiction reality. It's all the same, Larry. It is. Yeah.
1:20:07
I think the governor, I don't think there was an
1:20:10
Iranian cyber attack. I think that, uh, Minnesota ought to
1:20:14
get his act together. It's one of the worst run
1:20:17
states. JD will tell you, he found tremendous corruption in
1:20:20
Minnesota. And by the way, this gave me a report,
1:20:24
massive, massive future things having to do with corruption in
1:20:28
Minnesota are happening right now. I like JD. He is
1:20:31
the ultimate yes man. He's standing right there. JD, I'll
1:20:34
tell you, yes, sir. And it's too damn cold. In
1:20:37
Minnesota. Yeah. And do you really think, I mean, why?
1:20:42
Would you think? that hackers, if they were state-sponsored hackers
1:20:48
in Iran, Why are you just going after small town
1:20:53
water supplies across the U? I mean, would you be
1:20:57
looking for something a little bit bigger than that? Maybe
1:20:59
they should look into the Somali fraudsters. Maybe they got
1:21:02
a, you know, some kind of a scam going there.
1:21:04
That's way more likely, although then they would be requesting
1:21:07
Bitcoin or something like that in order to return your
1:21:10
service back to its fully functioning state. This is a
1:21:15
Fox News, of course, on the same story. up and
1:21:44
overrode systems manually. Ultimately, 30 communities were affected, but the
1:21:49
disruption to water systems was minimal. Investigators haven't released many
1:21:52
details about the suspected cyber attack, but they say the
1:21:55
timing, the method, the access and targets are all very
1:21:59
similar to what they've seen from Iran before. Now, with
1:22:01
aging security technology, the mayor says whatever happened should serve
1:22:05
as a wake-up call that investment is needed, and the
1:22:08
cyber experts agree with him. Now, one of the reasons
1:22:11
investigators are leaning toward the conclusion that hackers are state
1:22:15
actors bent on destruction, no one demanded a ransom. And
1:22:18
as you sometimes see that when a large system comes
1:22:20
under attack. Now, the FBI has confirmed that the Bureau
1:22:23
is aware of the incident and is in contact with
1:22:25
the victims to resolve the matter. Okay, so what did
1:22:29
we learn in that news report? Nothing. State actors. Because
1:22:33
they didn't ask for any money. That's the only reason.
1:22:36
Across the board, the only reason we've been given. at
1:22:40
least that I've found, is, well, they haven't asked for
1:22:43
any money. So we have to believe that it's state
1:22:46
actors. And well, I mean, who else besides Iran would?
1:22:51
Even though they started out with Iran's been trying to
1:22:54
do this. What was his exact wording here at the
1:22:56
beginning? The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say
1:22:58
that with certainty. For years, Iran has targeted U.S. water
1:23:01
systems with limited success. Okay, so it's been years that
1:23:05
they've had limited success, but now. Yeah. I mean, maybe
1:23:09
they have Iran AI and that's now making their job
1:23:12
easier for them. But for years, they have been unsuccessful
1:23:16
at trying to do this, but now. because nobody asked
1:23:20
for a ransom. That's their reasoning. I don't buy it.
1:23:26
Well, I just hope they're more successful because I like
1:23:28
seeing Minnesota suffer. And it's like everything that is state-run,
1:23:34
everything that is run by small towns, be very careful
1:23:39
if it's connected to the internet. Make sure, I mean,
1:23:42
your IT guy knows, change that from admin password, the
1:23:45
default admin and password. Yeah, you want to change that
1:23:49
to something. 1, 2, 3, 4. Yes, that's very secure.
1:23:53
Do that. One, two, three, four, five. Way more secure.
1:23:57
I got it. They're safe now. Exactly. Now, where do
1:24:00
you want to go next? Oh, God. Let me see.
1:24:03
Oh, I got here something. This is fun. There's a...
1:24:09
There's a guy that's running in Michigan. Not too far
1:24:12
from you. for senatorial seat, and his name is Abdul
1:24:18
El-Sayed. Have you heard of this guy? Yes. Yes, okay.
1:24:22
And he's getting a lot of press. And he is,
1:24:26
he's a very scary character. And there's this, this clip
1:24:30
has kind of been released, released and wasn't meant to
1:24:34
be public. And it was him talking with some pinhead
1:24:38
lefty vocal fry chick in the Senate. about his plans.
1:24:42
So it's a two-stage clip. And the first one, you've
1:24:46
got to listen to this broad vocalize before we get
1:24:50
to Abdul. And it's funny. She's funny. But when you
1:24:55
get to him, he's not funny. He's scary. Yeah, hi,
1:25:00
nice to meet you. I'm Farina. I am an environmental
1:25:03
staffer in the Senate, so very much looking forward to
1:25:07
hopefully having you in the halls of the Senate and
1:25:10
on the Senate Environmental Justice Caucus, which one of them
1:25:13
one of the staff leads. Environmental Justice. You got to
1:25:16
have justice. You got to have justice. Those clouds, the
1:25:19
rain, the snow, we have to justify them. On the
1:25:24
Senate Environmental Justice Caucus, which one of the staff leads.
1:25:27
I guess my question, and this is getting a little
1:25:29
bit ahead of course, but, you know. Even if things
1:25:33
go very well in November, we're still looking at two
1:25:36
more years of a Republican presidency. And I'm curious, you
1:25:39
know, I think. Stop. You hear that? You roll. Nobody's
1:25:56
a job anymore, Darren. It's your role. We're all actors.
1:26:00
All of us. We have rolls. Buddy, the last time
1:26:04
I went in to see my cardiologist, after getting the
1:26:10
best EKG the woman had ever seen, she said, your
1:26:14
health care provider will be in shortly. Instead of the
1:26:17
doctor, we'll see you. I don't even think she said
1:26:20
health care. I think she just said, you know, your
1:26:21
provider. I should have gotten up and ran right at
1:26:25
that point. I'm so with you, man. Absolutely. It's very
1:26:28
much out of a dystopian kind of novel. It's Orwellian.
1:26:32
It absolutely is. And so this broad, you can hear
1:26:35
her just prattle on. And she does with so many,
1:26:38
she should actually be in the mainstream media because she
1:26:40
asks a question, but she can't shut her mouth. So
1:26:43
she kind of answers it herself before he can. I'm
1:26:47
not going to bless anybody for talking too much, bloviating
1:26:50
or whatever, blathering. I mean, pot, kettle, that whole thing,
1:26:54
but otherwise. should be doing, codifying the endangerment finding, but
1:26:58
we're not going to have the chance to do that
1:26:59
for a couple more years. I'm curious how you see
1:27:02
your role on environmental issues or sort of all the
1:27:04
issues that we're facing more broadly going into the next
1:27:08
two years of the Trump administration. How do you envision
1:27:12
yourself using your voice? at a time when, unfortunately, we're
1:27:15
not going to get any policy over the finish line.
1:27:16
I mean, the best case situation is that we don't
1:27:19
get much policy over the finish line. Shut up, lady.
1:27:21
I mean, I've lost the question. Let me ask you
1:27:25
a question. Let me answer it for 20 minutes. I've
1:27:28
lost the question. She said so many things since the
1:27:31
question. I've lost the question. Exactly. Now listen to his
1:27:34
reply, Darren, and especially his kickoff for him speaking when
1:27:40
he says. Very fun. This is funny. The situation is
1:27:44
that we don't get much policy with the finish line
1:27:46
because it's inevitably going to be mostly bad. So I'm
1:27:48
just curious how you see sort of your role the
1:27:50
next couple of years in the Senate. Yeah, so first,
1:27:52
thank you for your work, and I hope we get
1:27:54
to work together. That would be very fun. Very fun.
1:27:58
That was so heartfelt. It's going to be very fun.
1:28:01
Yes, thank you for all of your work. Yes, fun.
1:28:03
Very fun. Yeah, very fun. Now, before he starts, this
1:28:06
guy, he is an absolute, you know him, but maybe
1:28:11
others do not. He is like a twin brother clone
1:28:15
of Mamdami. I mean, they have very similar faces. And
1:28:20
whenever he speaks, as he speaks, he has a constant
1:28:23
smile glued onto his face. No matter what it's said.
1:28:27
It's probably not like a natural-looking smile. No, no, no.
1:28:30
It's completely rehearsed and trained and fake. I mean, somebody
1:28:33
could say to me, you know, five minutes ago you
1:28:35
swallowed an explosive capsule, and in 90 seconds your guts
1:28:39
are going to be sprayed across the wall. The smile
1:28:42
wouldn't move. I mean, this guy is a sick boy.
1:28:44
And so I did a little digging on him, and
1:28:49
here's some of his bona fides. In 2014, he completed
1:28:52
a doctor of medicine degree at Columbia University College of
1:28:55
Physicians and Surgeons. and was funded by a Paul and
1:29:01
Daisy Soros fellowship for the New Americans and Medical Scientists
1:29:06
Training Program. El-Sayed did not pursue a medical license, instead
1:29:11
went into public health epidemiology work. So he's exactly like
1:29:15
Tony Fauci. I'm a doctor, but I never practiced medicine
1:29:20
because there's more bucks and power in being a bureaucrat.
1:29:24
I mean, I can't blame him for that, but yes.
1:29:27
Yeah. It means you don't trust him. Not at all.
1:29:30
Not for a second. So, clip five here is Abdul
1:29:35
El-Sayed memeing ventriloquist. Now, what this guy is saying is
1:29:39
actually chilling when you hear what he's saying. It's mind-blowing
1:29:42
when I heard this. And the reason this was actually,
1:29:46
I got this off of Politico, right? And their only
1:29:49
beef about it was his last words when he's talking
1:29:52
about flipping a... primarying Fetterman, right? And he referred to
1:29:59
Fetterman as
1:30:00
putting an ogre on a pike. Okay. And so some
1:30:04
of the, the, the middle Dems said, you can't talk
1:30:07
like that, but that's like, that's like nothing compared to
1:30:10
what preceded that. What he, the way this guy is
1:30:13
speaking is like, he's literally a King maker. This is
1:30:17
very scary. I get to that and start paving the
1:30:19
pathway for 2028 and who will be the next president.
1:30:24
And so part of what I need to do is
1:30:26
understand that this job is not just about what you
1:30:29
can do. do in terms of your investigatory power of
1:30:32
course your legislative Power, power, power. Well, it's all about
1:30:37
power. It's about power. You can't stop listing those powers.
1:30:40
Yeah. of course, your legislative power or your confirmatory power.
1:30:44
It's also your platform power. And so how do I
1:30:46
start telling... in paving out the pathway for what the
1:30:51
next president should sound like. Stop. Now, wait a minute.
1:30:54
This guy's running for senator and he's dictating how a
1:30:59
president is going to sound. correctly, Darren? Yeah, because they
1:31:03
got to get more commies in office. that's what they're
1:31:08
kind of going for. Yeah. And they understand. little movement
1:31:14
which is quite the scary movement is game action, somehow
1:31:20
even though the polling that we're seeing says people don't
1:31:25
agree with what they're which again shows you this is
1:31:29
all because donald trump and they've been able to demonize
1:31:32
him to such a point that they're willing to you
1:31:34
know just accept anybody as long as they're fighting donald
1:31:38
trump because of what i'm advocating for right and how
1:31:43
i talk about this a lot of this race right
1:31:45
now and then you know if I win is to
1:31:49
offer compelling ways or often memes that people eat. Wait,
1:31:55
wait, wait. He's offering meat. This is politics now. This
1:32:00
is politics now. And he's going to repeat this. He's
1:32:02
the meme ventriloquist. That's who this candidate is. They understand
1:32:08
that the Society of the United States so disconnected, so
1:32:17
out of touch that they don't pay attention. real news.
1:32:22
Correct. So memes are going to be the way. win
1:32:27
the presidency. They may not be wrong, sadly. They're not
1:32:29
wrong at all. Compelling ways or offer sort of means
1:32:34
that people can pick up who are running for president
1:32:37
to sound like we need them to sound. sound like
1:32:41
we need them to sound. have the right ideas. No.
1:32:47
Policy, ideas, nothing. parrot the crap we give you. Hey,
1:32:52
and God bless Noah Jenner. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid
1:32:55
any attention back in the day when AOC, the bartender,
1:32:59
just answered a casting call. It's like you have to
1:33:04
know what you're dealing with. You have to know who
1:33:06
you're voting for. You have to understand. what they want
1:33:10
because these people, a lot of them now, they're telling
1:33:13
you exactly. Yeah, and think about it. This guy, I
1:33:16
mean, he's... in Michigan. And when you hear what he's
1:33:21
saying, you realize he's not riffing. He's not pulling this
1:33:25
out of his butt. This is something that's probably spread
1:33:30
far and wide by Soros people and whomever else. This
1:33:34
is the way they're thinking. They're telling this guy, you're
1:33:36
going to determine how the next president sounds. Whoa. Whoa.
1:33:41
Very scary. It's a lot of power for a guy
1:33:44
running for office. Yes. Running. you Like I told you,
1:33:49
my principal job is to be able to translate a
1:33:53
lot of our broader public policy goals in language that
1:33:56
moves people to build the political capacity to drive legislation
1:34:01
and change public policy. And I think I get to
1:34:04
do that quite a bit moving into 2028 where I
1:34:09
can leave a lot of these memes. Yeah, it's very
1:34:13
bizarre that this is being acknowledged. That we need memes.
1:34:19
We need memes. We need memes. There's a show title.
1:34:21
We need memes. There you go. And he realized. stupid
1:34:26
the electorate has become because policies are too difficult to
1:34:30
grasp. But show them a picture. You know, right. Here's
1:34:33
a, you know, here's a, here's a dachshund with a,
1:34:35
with a ball cap on. Okay. I got that. You
1:34:37
know, that's really what it's come down to. That's my
1:34:40
candidate. Really? Yeah. Well, I forgot who sent it. I
1:34:43
apologize, but somebody sent me a sad puppy image to
1:34:47
use with an eye patch. Sorry. I don't remember. But
1:34:53
thank you because that did, that did make me laugh.
1:34:59
A political entrepreneur? When have you heard that before? Never?
1:35:19
What the hell even is that? A political entrepreneur? You're
1:35:24
blending. Communism and capitalism, because there are no entrepreneurs in
1:35:29
communism. Yeah. But it's an interesting myth, but this again,
1:35:35
because people don't understand words. They're just listening going, oh,
1:35:38
this sounds very interesting. And they're not really even comprehending
1:35:43
what is being said. do it you know what i
1:35:57
mean like tell me tell me why i should stop
1:35:59
i mean you're gonna spend 60 million to beat me
1:36:01
okay to play that game you know what i mean
1:36:03
um so you know and then what happens is ideally
1:36:07
you put one ogre on a pike and then everyone
1:36:12
else gets the message and then they start they start
1:36:17
sounding a lot different so there's a threat we'll put
1:36:20
an ogre on a pike and then everybody's gonna fall
1:36:22
in line and act the way we want them to
1:36:25
act this guy This guy needs to be stopped. It
1:36:29
is insanity. Yeah. But I don't expect anything else. No.
1:36:35
Because that's exactly what you get when you check out
1:36:40
and you don't pay any attention. And all of a
1:36:42
sudden you wake up. Yep. And the people in office
1:36:46
are a little crazier than maybe you thought. Oh, here's
1:36:49
there's no. I saw this story, Darren. It's exactly what
1:36:52
you're talking about. now okay exactly and this is why
1:36:56
california is doomed nobody's going to fix california because anybody
1:37:01
that could that's worth saving is pretty much left and
1:37:04
those that have it have have my prayers. Same thing
1:37:07
in New York. Dig this. Brian Romero, the Democratic nominee
1:37:11
for New York's 34th Assembly District in Queens, my home
1:37:14
borough, into Albany. No Republican opponent. Okay, after crushing his
1:37:23
primary. The job pays $142,000 a year plus per diems,
1:37:27
yet while he waits to be sworn in, the former
1:37:30
legislative aide briefly posted a crowdfunding page asking strangers for
1:37:36
$2,000 to help with rent and groceries. When the New
1:37:42
York Post asked about it, the page vanished. Romero had
1:37:46
left his senior advisor role with state senator Kristen Gonzalez
1:37:49
earlier this year after ethics guidance forced the move once
1:37:53
he became a candidate. State payroll records show he pulled
1:37:56
down $106,469 last year. He lives with his partner in
1:38:01
a Jackson Heights apartment that costs about $2,600 a month.
1:38:06
So this guy's knocking down $106,000 a year. His rent
1:38:10
is $2,600, but he's only paying half of it, one
1:38:12
would assume, because he's got a roommate, right? money to
1:38:18
pay his rent and he's gonna be responsible for budgets
1:38:20
and I mean it's incredible these people are all losers
1:38:25
they are incredible losers every single one of them this
1:38:30
is treason oh for God's sake make an example of
1:38:33
that yes make an example nothing says you'll pay me
1:38:34
like a bloody head on a fence post yeah I
1:38:37
like that yeah and he's not asking to borrow the
1:38:40
money he's asking to give it to me yeah just
1:38:42
give it to me there's no value for value there
1:38:44
that's just give me your money give me your money
1:38:47
well It's the essence of socialism, communism. God. Well, that
1:38:52
socialism, yeah, communism is we're just taking it. That's true.
1:38:56
We're just taking it. Well, they'll take it anyway because,
1:38:58
you know, it's a scam. But Bill Maher, who has
1:39:01
been all over the map as we've covered him over
1:39:04
the last few years, is leaning very strongly in the
1:39:08
he doesn't like the socialist direction, which is good and
1:39:13
it's entertaining. Will anybody listen to Bill? I don't know.
1:39:20
trillion lies but when he says the Democratic Socialists of
1:39:24
America are actually communist that's not one of them and
1:39:28
it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the
1:39:31
DSA and their candidates. Davey Vance was on the show
1:39:34
and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps
1:39:37
going in the direction of the DSA my vote was
1:39:41
in play and all I heard all vacation was oh
1:39:44
my god you're a Republican now no that's not And
1:39:50
here's why. Because not a week goes by where I
1:39:53
don't read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in
1:39:57
the Democratic Party. face
1:40:00
opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy
1:40:04
shit comes out. Yeah, it's just like the guy you
1:40:07
were just talking about. Yeah, comes right on out. Right
1:40:10
on. Again, let's just read the quotes. The DSA platform
1:40:15
says, you work as much as you are able and
1:40:18
no more than needed. If that was any closer to
1:40:21
Karl Marx's dictum, from each according to his abilities to
1:40:25
each according to his needs, they'd be sued for plagiarism.
1:40:28
New York Mayor Mondani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly.
1:40:35
Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so
1:40:40
gruesome that it's He laments the fall of the two
1:40:43
of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union
1:40:45
and the Soviet Union. and Chairman Mao's China. Mandami's aide,
1:40:50
his top aide, Sia Weaver, said, if you don't believe
1:40:53
in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over,
1:40:57
and impoverish the white middle class. That's a goal? You
1:41:05
know you're supposed to scare people. For you, right? What
1:41:12
point are you at in the cycle if instead of
1:41:16
trying to lie about all that you are willing to
1:41:20
just go out there and say the truth. are still
1:41:23
going to put you into office. I mean, this is...
1:41:26
Insane world. It's working. I mean, over quite a few
1:41:30
states lately, these cretins have been elected. And, you know,
1:41:35
what America needs to do is turn back the clock
1:41:38
to the late 40s and 50s with Joe McCarthy was
1:41:43
basically hunting and attempting to jail them. Because, you know,
1:41:48
it's one thing when there's two sides of an If
1:41:51
somebody's intent is to destroy way of life, everything about
1:41:55
you. Well, that's not an opinion. That's an enemy. And
1:41:58
their voice doesn't matter. You know, there really should be
1:42:02
some type of legislation passed that if you are a
1:42:05
card-carrying commie, get out. Or, hey, it would work if
1:42:10
you just educated... enough to know what communism is and
1:42:16
how it would mess their life up immensely. going to
1:42:21
do that not the teachers union exactly also a bunch
1:42:25
of commies No question. One of the new soon-to-be Democratic
1:42:30
Congress people, Darlesia Chevalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords
1:42:37
and said seize the means of production. said the end
1:42:41
goal is seizing the means of production. I think they
1:42:45
want to seize the means of production. Now maybe you
1:42:50
missed that in school or missed school altogether, but that's
1:42:53
communism. Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist
1:42:57
Unity Group is in ascendance, and I must take them
1:43:00
at their word when their words include, our commitment is
1:43:04
to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society.
1:43:09
communism what do they have to do more communists? You
1:43:25
know, it always worries me when Bill Maher and I
1:43:30
have been saying the same thing, but yeah, I'm glad
1:43:32
he's on the train. Yeah, it's great to hear. But
1:43:36
it's really chilling, and nobody's really doing anything to put
1:43:39
a stop to this. Right, because it's not business as
1:43:44
usual. This is not a Democrat versus Republican thing. Yeah.
1:43:49
This is all of the rules of this country, all
1:43:52
of the rights that you have gotten from God. No,
1:43:54
the government. The government gives you your rights, kids. And
1:43:58
if we want to take all of your property and
1:44:00
all of your money, there's nothing you can do about
1:44:02
it. Yeah, and all those people in his audience, most
1:44:06
of which I'm sure are Democrats or card-carrying lefties. Isn't
1:44:10
that... Laughing is one of the big ones. Our buddy
1:44:15
Scott Galloway. Yes. Okay. I've got that clip. Yeah. Oh,
1:44:19
you got that clip. Lay it on us. Yeah. He
1:44:21
was on with Kara Swisher. Yeah. And I've been doxxed.
1:44:25
Oh. Good. Suffer. Suffer, Scotty. You've been doxxed. What? Tell
1:44:31
me. So, I don't know if you've heard, but Mayor
1:44:35
Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000
1:44:40
residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for
1:44:45
his pied-a-terre tax. I came out in favor of this
1:44:47
tax. This is the definition. I know. Let's just laugh
1:44:52
at him for the next five minutes. You're worried about
1:44:54
that. You want it. You backed the wrong horse. It's
1:44:58
very interesting when it's like, well, here's a list of
1:45:00
people that might be. Might be. This is the definition.
1:45:06
He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue and he's
1:45:09
turning it into a wanted poster. And the question I
1:45:12
would have is, other than trying to identify and imply
1:45:16
these people have done something wrong, and then 18 months
1:45:19
after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street and
1:45:23
then published the list, What is the upside here? Why
1:45:27
is he doing this? Because you keep voting him in,
1:45:29
dummy. Correct. You support his policies. Now, this is nothing
1:45:37
new according to every news report that I can find.
1:45:41
This isn't like Mamdani released information that has not been
1:45:46
being released in New York for years, but the framing
1:45:49
is now different. People up till this point weren't really
1:45:53
looking at the property owners with, Oh, you're evil. Well,
1:45:58
why are people looking at property owners like they're evil?
1:46:01
Because of people like Scott Galloway. Sure. Because of the
1:46:05
Mamdonis. That's why. Because you're buying into what they are
1:46:11
selling you. It makes very little sense. But yeah, it's
1:46:16
kind of funny that this is backfiring on... Oh, yeah.
1:46:20
Yeah, I've been like, why is this happening? But you're
1:46:22
still supporting him, right? Oh, yeah, I love it. But
1:46:25
I mean, he's going to get me killed, but I
1:46:27
really like him. And I have one quick clip from
1:46:31
the governor of Illinois, the state that I currently reside
1:46:35
in. Oh, JB. More lies, lies, and damn lies from
1:46:39
somebody that doesn't claim to be a Democrat socialist, but
1:46:44
he is. What is? This is directly from the JB
1:46:48
account. So, yes, the music. All JB's people. Donald Trump's
1:46:54
so-called Save America Act. It's yet another... I mean, why
1:46:58
is it a so-called act? It is just the Save...
1:47:00
It's not a so-called act. Well, you know. It's yet
1:47:04
another... for Americans who disagree with them. You know, yeah.
1:47:17
Sorry, are a citizen of this country. Words matter. I'm
1:47:22
asking you to approve the Save America Act. And it
1:47:27
should be before anything else happens. Voters who would face
1:47:31
the possibility of being disenfranchised. The bill would make it
1:47:34
harder for tens of millions of married women to vote
1:47:37
because their last names don't. I know. Let him finish
1:47:43
this part. Because their last names don't match their birth
1:47:47
certificate. He wants to... the way that you can get
1:48:21
beyond this. So yeah, okay. So if your birth certificate
1:48:24
has a different last name, you have to jump through
1:48:27
all kinds of hoops, right, Larry? I mean, if you
1:48:29
want to. No, I don't believe that for a second.
1:48:31
No, you know what they need? What? An affidavit from
1:48:34
the person swearing that what they're providing is true. Oh,
1:48:38
see. So they have to write. That's impossible. Women are
1:48:41
too stupid to write an affidavit, according to J.B. Briskin.
1:48:48
down that Mary Jones is Mary Peters. That's way too,
1:48:53
way too hard for women, according to J.B. Pritzker. Well,
1:48:56
the poster is Pritzker thinks women are stupid. Put it
1:48:59
on every billboard in Illinois. It's unbelievable. You need a
1:49:03
affidavit from the person. You know, nobody else. You don't
1:49:07
have to go. You don't have to get a lawyer.
1:49:09
You just have to fill out a piece of paper
1:49:11
that says, I, your name here, am really this person
1:49:15
originally, your name here on the birth certificate. Boom, done.
1:49:20
I'm trying to remember. I used to know that number,
1:49:22
but I don't think there are tens of millions of
1:49:24
women getting married every year. I think it's like three,
1:49:26
four million, something like that. Yeah, because that's going off
1:49:30
the ledge as well. Marriage is an institution. Make it
1:49:35
so even using your real ID, which is secure enough
1:49:38
to keep air travel safe. Is the real ID really
1:49:42
keeping air travel safe? Not in the least. No. Not
1:49:48
doing a damn thing to make it safer, no. Wouldn't
1:49:51
allow you to vote. And if you move even one
1:49:54
block from where you live now, you wouldn't be allowed
1:49:56
to vote. I mean, what he doesn't mention is... One
1:49:59
block.
1:50:00
Could put you into a different state, a different county,
1:50:02
a different town. But no, don't worry about reality, kids.
1:50:08
Unless you start the whole registration process all over again.
1:50:13
The push to pass. Because, you know, when you move,
1:50:15
Larry, I mean, you did. This is a perfect example.
1:50:17
You moved over the last few years from Commie, California,
1:50:20
into Commie, Connecticut. Correct. There were no paper. There was
1:50:24
nothing you had to fill out anywhere, right? I mean,
1:50:26
you just, you moved, and your credit cards, and they
1:50:30
just knew where you were, right? Yeah. Yeah, they knew
1:50:33
where I was. And amazingly, incredibly darn, they knew I
1:50:38
was here, and so they could tax me on my
1:50:40
cars, on my house, on everything. All the taxes. magically
1:50:43
appeared. I don't know how they did it, but they
1:50:45
did it. It's amazing. When you move, there's never any
1:50:48
paperwork that you need to fill out. Just give us
1:50:50
the money. the Save America Act is just Donald Trump's
1:50:54
latest attempt to deny your right to vote and to
1:50:58
reshape the electorate in MAGA's favor. He doesn't want a
1:51:02
legitimate election. He wants certain victory. No, he wants fair.
1:51:08
Read the Safe America Act bill, not the so-called. If
1:51:12
you read it, it is... pretty clear but this is
1:51:17
part of this massive amount because pritzker's social media This
1:51:23
is daily. This isn't like he releases a video every
1:51:26
now and then. There are things like this coming out.
1:51:29
Constantly, sure. Yes. And it's that fire hose effect again.
1:51:32
And why? Because people look at it and they're like,
1:51:35
oh, must be true. I mean, he's an elected official.
1:51:38
He's the governor of Illinois. He wouldn't be lying just
1:51:42
flat to my face, would he? Yeah. Seems like that
1:51:46
happens a lot. Yes, yes it does. And just to
1:51:50
prove that the migration crisis doesn't just happen in the
1:51:55
United States, this is a very... Interesting story. This Quetta.
1:52:02
It's amazing, man. Sueta invasion. I'm great with geography names.
1:52:08
It's amazing. But here is the breakdown on what is
1:52:13
going on from the BBC. Where is Ceuta and why
1:52:18
have so many people suddenly tried to swim there? These
1:52:21
images are of thousands of migrants suddenly rushing towards Morocco's
1:52:25
border with Ceuta, a tiny sliver of land that belongs
1:52:29
to Spain. They swam across in such huge numbers that
1:52:32
the border effectively collapsed. There was chaos. The swim isn't
1:52:37
long, but some people clearly struggled and several dozen have
1:52:40
drowned. Those who did make it to shore, though, were
1:52:43
euphoric. No Marruecos! Viva España! Viva! So why Ceuta? meet
1:52:51
directly, a stepping stone, something, on the way to a
1:52:55
better life. It's just a few square miles in size
1:52:59
and with around 80,000 inhabitants, so 50,000 more arriving in
1:53:03
just one day was quite something. Spain has now sent
1:53:07
troops and police to help keep the peace and to
1:53:10
reinforce the border. But it's still not clear why so
1:53:13
many migrants suddenly rushed to Ceuta. Okay, here's the very
1:53:16
interesting thing. She's telling you... literally one breath before. Nobody
1:53:23
understands why, but listen to what follows. A Spanish court
1:53:27
did rule recently that anyone who swims across the border
1:53:30
can't be automatically returned. So perhaps word spread. So perhaps
1:53:37
this is the understatement of the century. Sure. Well, it's
1:53:41
just like Joey and Kamala. We can't control the border.
1:53:44
We're taking an act to Congress. We can't stop them.
1:53:46
So come on up, guys. Right. Saying come in. We
1:53:49
can get phone cards for you and phones and everything.
1:53:51
Nothing will happen exactly. What they had here. was the
1:53:55
court rule, if you come in via the water, you
1:53:59
can't be immediately returned. That seems like it might have
1:54:02
been a lie, but oh, maybe people heard this. Well,
1:54:06
of course they did because you didn't have this before
1:54:09
that and now you do. Cause and effect. But there
1:54:14
are also questions about what Morocco did or didn't do
1:54:17
to stop people crossing. OK, it's Morocco's fault. It's their
1:54:21
fault. Why did none of these liberal outlets went, oh,
1:54:24
it's Mexico's fault for allowing all of these migrants to
1:54:27
walk through. You know, it's amazing. Morocco should learn from
1:54:32
East Berlin. Put that wall up. Keep it inside. Everybody
1:54:35
needs a wall, Larry. Everybody needs a wall. Right now,
1:54:38
it's not happy with Spain because of Spain's relations with
1:54:41
Algeria, not a friend of Morocco. Spain's government is playing
1:54:45
that down because it needs help from Morocco now to
1:54:48
be able to send people back there. Many have already
1:54:51
gone, but many thousands more are still in Ceuta and
1:54:54
unsure of what happens next. Yeah, it's good. Well, we're
1:54:58
already seeing what's happening next. Here is the Fox News
1:55:01
report. Chaos. Chaos. The reason I can't get the name
1:55:12
right is because everybody covering this has said this differently.
1:55:15
I think he's correct and the Brit was wrong. So
1:55:17
it's Soutai gut feeling. Soutai, yes. Sounds very familiar, doesn't
1:55:32
it? Doesn't it, though? Yes, the young military age guys.
1:55:35
Absolutely. Coming into a country, no, nothing to see here.
1:55:38
No. They're video showing huge groups of people, mostly young
1:55:43
military age guys, cramming into inflatable tubes or arriving on
1:55:47
shore another way, some of them waiting in the water
1:55:50
as they break through the gates to get to the
1:55:52
other side. Sandra, this is reminiscent of kind of what
1:55:55
we saw during the open border during the Biden administration
1:55:58
through 2021, 2024, kind of similar to what we saw
1:56:00
in Del Rio back in 2021. And of course, this
1:56:03
is Fox News, who is very much on the Trump
1:56:06
train overall. comparison to the invasion of the United States
1:56:14
under Biden. The socialist agenda, their platform literally says they
1:56:19
want to abolish borders, abolish immigration enforcement, have complete freedom
1:56:23
of movement. This is what it looks like in another
1:56:26
country if they get what they want. Notice there is
1:56:28
no resistance from the government whatsoever. These people are coming
1:56:31
in without any obstruction. And if people don't know, Spain
1:56:35
has a very left-wing government. Earlier this year, they did
1:56:37
a big amnesty program for over... Well, Spain isn't really
1:56:40
just very left-wing. They are pretty much straight-out socialist, aren't
1:56:43
they? Totally. Yes, that's correct. Think of that Brit idiot.
1:56:47
They arrived so, what was the word she said? Ecstatic
1:56:51
or something, how happy they were to be there. Yes.
1:56:53
And then she says it's normally a community of 80,000
1:56:56
people, and suddenly there's 50,000 strangers. Now, if you look
1:56:59
at a map, it's the tip of kind of a,
1:57:01
not a peninsula, but it's jutting into a vast chunk
1:57:06
of water called the Mediterranean. And there's nowhere to go
1:57:09
from there. Okay? So where are all these guys going
1:57:12
to make pee-pee? Where are they going to eat? Where
1:57:15
are they going to sleep? You know, it doesn't matter
1:57:17
because they're happy, you know, and the people that are
1:57:19
living there already will screw them because they need to
1:57:22
welcome everybody. Well, that's not what's happening, believe it or
1:57:26
not. But all these people going think once it's very
1:57:30
much the same story of the Venezuelans that came into
1:57:35
the United States, wound up here in Chicago, sleeping on
1:57:39
the floor. Send me back. Right. When interviewed, we're like,
1:57:44
this is horrible. We thought there was opportunity here. We
1:57:49
can't work without getting permits. We can't get the permits.
1:57:54
get a place to live because we don't have any
1:57:56
money and when asked if they would do it all
1:58:00
over again they're like no it was better before they
1:58:03
left home But it was because of the story that
1:58:08
was sold to them. They should have gone to Martha's
1:58:12
Vineyard. They could have stayed at Barack and Michelle's. No
1:58:15
problem. Who don't know, Spain has a very left-wing government.
1:58:19
Earlier this year, they did a big amnesty program for
1:58:21
over a million illegal immigrants living in the country. They
1:58:24
had 1.3 million illegal immigrants apply for that amnesty program
1:58:28
between April and June. So that's what we call a
1:58:31
pull factor, Sandra. They're looking for something like that. They
1:58:34
know if they can just get their foot in the
1:58:35
country, maybe someday that left-wing government will do another amnesty
1:58:38
program. And you were just reading some of the wires.
1:58:40
The locals want an emergency declaration. It sounds like... The
1:58:44
ministry is saying no. Apparently, they don't think this is
1:58:48
a number. I mean, look at this. This is a
1:58:49
total free for all. And I don't know exactly the
1:58:52
timing between this news report and then what happened shortly
1:58:57
after, because the concept that they weren't being rounded up
1:59:02
and sent back doesn't seem to be the truth. Either
1:59:05
this is a global news report. It started with hundreds
1:59:10
than many, many more. The Spanish government estimates roughly 60,000
1:59:17
people arrive from Morocco in little more than a day.
1:59:21
Many swam. And again, we know that millions came into
1:59:25
the United States, but as you just pointed out. This
1:59:29
is about 60,000 people coming into a country. of 80,000.
1:59:36
almost doubling within a day. This man says he spent
1:59:43
two hours in the ocean. Another brought his five daughters.
1:59:50
Just before an attempt, this woman says she doesn't make
1:59:52
enough as a waitress to support her parents and daughter.
1:59:56
They're traveling from Morocco into a Spanish enclave in Africa
1:59:59
called
2:00:01
Many thousands of people have tried in the past, risking
2:00:04
their lives to seek a better life. More than 30
2:00:08
people died in their attempt this time. The rumor that
2:00:11
seems to have really blown up is that all of
2:00:16
the rules... around pushbacks were suspended. Migration researcher Craig Damien
2:00:23
Smith points to misinformation around a recent Spanish court case
2:00:27
as a potential reason why so many are trying now.
2:00:30
Spain's Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be
2:00:34
summarily returned. So which part of that's misinformation? I'm not
2:00:37
really sure. It seems like good information. If the court
2:00:41
ruled that, why would you say then it was misinformation?
2:00:45
I want to hear that again, too. All of the
2:00:48
rules. around pushbacks were suspended. Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith
2:00:55
points to misinformation around a recent Spanish court case as
2:00:59
a potential reason why so many are trying now. Spain's
2:01:02
Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily
2:01:06
returned, though that appears to be happening. As of Friday
2:01:11
morning local time, as many as 25,000 people returned. This
2:01:17
man says he's leaving and that he hasn't eaten or
2:01:20
slept in a day. Others likely dissuaded by the Spanish
2:01:23
military. Spain's prime minister called so many people illegally arriving
2:01:30
an attack. A sentiment the British prime minister echoed. Smith
2:01:41
points out legal entry to the EU enables free passage
2:01:45
within it. He also says many European countries are aging
2:01:48
and rely on migrant labor. That more legal pathways could
2:01:53
make life easier for many people. No, no, it's the
2:01:56
same story as here. Oh, no, we need. Yeah, we
2:01:59
need that. We need the influx. Well, then come in
2:02:01
legally. Right. And don't even want to talk about the
2:02:06
danger as we talked about, Adam and John talked about
2:02:11
the danger from coming into the United States and how
2:02:14
many people died trying to make that journey because it's
2:02:19
a very corrupt way to get into the country and
2:02:21
you're paying, you know, mules to get you in. I
2:02:24
mean, people, not actual mules. And it's a very dangerous
2:02:28
thing. And they're not, most of these news reports here,
2:02:30
we haven't heard anything. about the death toll here, but
2:02:34
France 24 has it. Both cities, Melilla and Ceuta, are
2:02:40
really surrounded by very high fences. And it's extraordinarily difficult,
2:02:45
actually, normally to reach. And, of course, we've seen over
2:02:50
the past few days, while obviously tens of thousands of
2:02:54
people arrived, dozens of people, as you say, the latest
2:02:59
estimate is 57 people died in the attempt. So it's
2:03:03
very difficult and very dangerous. Once people arrive in Ceuta
2:03:10
and Melilla, while they are part of Spain and as
2:03:14
such they are part of the Schengen Free Movement area,
2:03:17
there are special rules applied to the autonomous cities and
2:03:21
it's actually quite difficult to travel onward. So a lot
2:03:25
of the scaremongering that we've heard and the reactions from
2:03:29
countries like Italy sort of thundering about, suspending Schengen or
2:03:35
suspending Spain from Schengen are really red herrings that don't
2:03:40
match up with the reality of the situation. I mean,
2:03:44
what I also don't understand, all these leftist countries who
2:03:48
are now afraid that more people are coming in. I
2:03:50
thought you don't want the borders. No, these people are
2:03:53
coming in illegally. How horrible. But CBS News is the
2:03:58
only one. that I found that had boots on the
2:04:02
ground, that had a reporter there trying to speak to
2:04:08
these migrants coming in. And I thought this was very
2:04:11
interesting. Again, was echoing the interviews with the Venezuelans that
2:04:17
I saw here in Chicago, kind of given the same
2:04:19
thing. We were promised a better life. And the reality
2:04:24
may be a little different. All these people have been
2:04:27
told that they're not going to be able to get
2:04:29
asylum here. So they're being turned around and sent back
2:04:31
right there. No, they're not letting people stay. That's what
2:04:38
the police have told us. Everyone, they're making everybody leave.
2:04:54
You can see, but most of them are walking this
2:04:56
way because the police and the military have forced them
2:04:58
to leave. I know it's very hard to hear because
2:05:01
the audio was bad, The migrants are like, but no,
2:05:04
no, a bunch of these people that were going to
2:05:06
Spain. And this guy's like, no, that's not going to
2:05:08
happen. you know sorry but uh your journey is for
2:05:13
not the journey The military says that they're not letting
2:05:17
people stay, that you have to go back. What about
2:05:19
if many people stay here? No problem. So your hope
2:05:23
is that you'll be able to stay here? Yeah. There's
2:05:26
no problem. So you read a news article that said
2:05:30
that if you came here you could claim asylum and
2:05:32
live in Spain. And you read that and then you
2:05:34
decided to swim over. It said Spain has opened the
2:05:39
door. It said Spain has opened the door. This was
2:05:40
on social media. Right? Never believe social media, kids. Yeah.
2:05:48
It said Spain has opened the door. It said Spain
2:05:50
has opened the door. This was on social media. I
2:05:51
mean, again, this is the exact playbook of what happened
2:05:54
with everybody coming into the United States. Oh, the United
2:05:58
States said it. The door is open. Come on in.
2:06:00
Well, they did say that. And there were cell phones
2:06:03
and phone cards and credit cards and, you know. Probably
2:06:07
new air Jordan. Where would you like to go? Well,
2:06:10
fly over. I mean, yeah. It was for real under
2:06:13
Joey. But you know what's fascinating? I saw some of
2:06:16
those videos. There was a science fiction movie a few
2:06:19
years ago with Brad Pitt about some kind of a
2:06:21
plague. I can't remember what it was called. But it
2:06:24
was actually very good. World War III, that's what it
2:06:26
was. And there were these mob scenes of these zombies
2:06:31
just swarming various areas. And the videos of that invasion
2:06:36
from Morocco to Spain, that part of Spain, was very
2:06:39
reminiscent. Thousands and thousands of guys, as they say, military-age
2:06:43
dudes. Somebody in the report said somebody brought five children.
2:06:46
I didn't see any kids. I didn't see any women.
2:06:48
It was all guys, maybe 17 to 30, you know.
2:06:52
And they constantly, the left, this is their stock and
2:06:57
trade, man. They distort the language. And it's kind of
2:07:01
been accepted now around the world that invaders are now
2:07:05
referred to as migrants. And it so pisses me off
2:07:10
because they're not. Yes. You know, for 100 whatever years,
2:07:15
the migrants, and certainly I witnessed it in California, they'd
2:07:19
come across, they'd work in the farms, the ranches, whatever,
2:07:22
and they'd, a while, and they'd send money back to
2:07:25
Mexico, and when it was done, they'd go home, you
2:07:27
know? Not the same as swarms of thousands of guys
2:07:31
just coming. Those are invaders. Those are not migrants. They're
2:07:34
invaders. And I believe they're referring to both men and
2:07:38
women, but there might be a little bit of a...
2:07:42
of a hint here why there aren't many women crossing.
2:07:48
Facebook, Instagram. Everyone wants to be here. No, no, no.
2:07:54
Morocco? No, no, no. Morocco. No Morocco. There's no money
2:08:05
in Morocco. Ah, see, see. If you have family, children,
2:08:09
like that you can be happy all the life. Do
2:08:11
you have a family? Yeah. My mother, my... But, should
2:08:15
to be do something. So you really want to leave
2:08:19
Morocco, you don't care where you go? Turkey, you just
2:08:23
want to be able to leave Morocco? And why is
2:08:27
that? Why do you want to leave Morocco so badly?
2:08:35
Maybe there was a different clip that I misclicked, but
2:08:37
there was talking about... They're being witches on the journey
2:08:42
in how they just tied them up and threw them
2:08:44
into the sea. Ooh, that's not nice. No. It's not
2:08:50
the way that you want to go. Well, that was
2:08:53
how you determined a witch, right? Back in those days.
2:08:55
They tried to drown you, and if you drowned, you
2:08:57
were a witch. Right. The only way to know is
2:09:01
to throw them into the water. Yes. And this was
2:09:05
just, I thought this was kind of interesting. Not that
2:09:07
I, you know, give any credence to this guy. His
2:09:11
name's Mark Adderley. He is a British producer. And of
2:09:16
course. The evil and the reasoning behind all of this
2:09:22
are going to be clear. Obviously, some kind of, even
2:09:24
reported by the Telegraph, Moroccan governmental influence on this. And
2:09:30
also, we can't pretend to ignore that Morocco, clearly, only
2:09:34
in recent days, has been in conversations with Trump, telling
2:09:38
him they're naming a highway after Trump. They've signed the
2:09:42
Abraham Accords, and they have a military relationship with Israel.
2:09:46
So, you know, we have no way of being able
2:09:49
to prove anything. But the feeling is one of it's
2:09:53
curious. that Spain has inadvertently become the epicenter of a
2:09:59
might.
2:10:00
crisis very shortly after the world cup and everything that
2:10:06
america has said about not liking the spanish yeah it's
2:10:10
all trump it's all israel that's the reason it's all
2:10:12
wow so this was all cia app this is how
2:10:15
this happened maybe yeah it's Again, there is so much
2:10:21
blather out there that it's nearly impossible to know. Who's
2:10:27
right, who's wrong, which just, of course, gets everybody else
2:10:31
anxious. It gets everybody all spun up, and that's not
2:10:34
doing anything good for their mental health as well. Yeah.
2:10:38
Now you have two more clips here, and then we
2:10:40
can thank a lot of people for their courage. Yeah,
2:10:43
why not? What have I got here? I've got, you
2:10:46
know, this kind of fun one. Stephen Miller dropping truth
2:10:51
bombs. You know, I'm such a stickler for vocabulary and
2:10:54
words. You can hear what this guy has to say.
2:10:57
The people you mentioned, the names you mentioned, AOC, Bernie,
2:11:00
the squad, Omar, these are people who even 10 or
2:11:04
15 years ago would have been relegated to the outer
2:11:07
extreme fringes of the Democrat Party. They're now the center
2:11:11
of the party. They're the heart of the party. They're
2:11:13
the soul of the party. So the Democrats have become
2:11:15
a party of freaks, weirdos, losers, and crazies. But you
2:11:19
can't laugh it off because it's deadly serious. When you
2:11:22
give these people power, everything you know and love in
2:11:25
this world falls apart. You have chaos, corruption, decay, violence,
2:11:30
poverty. That's a poster right there for him. Yeah, he's
2:11:35
dead right. And he missed a step when he said,
2:11:39
I'm going to give these people power. They get power
2:11:42
because before they get power, people insist that you give
2:11:45
them respect, right? And he's right. 15, 20 years ago,
2:11:49
a lot of these people would have said, hey, man,
2:11:51
those are psychos. They're nincompoops. They're weird. Get them out
2:11:54
of here. You know, the Bernies, really, really, the vagrants.
2:11:59
So many of them are. But how do they get
2:12:01
that way? Well, I'll tell you how. From preschool teachers
2:12:05
telling the little children that everyone deserves respect. No, they
2:12:10
don't. No, they do not. They conflate respect with civility,
2:12:15
right? Respect borders on admiration. And nobody deserves respect. Of
2:12:21
course, they can only earn it, but not the way
2:12:24
children are taught. And so that's why these creeps, these
2:12:28
insane people, suddenly get to where they go. because people
2:12:32
are afraid to call them what they are. So, you
2:12:36
know, I get to applaud Stephen Miller. The left hates
2:12:39
him, but I admire what he just said, because he's
2:12:42
correct. Dug it up in the troll room and says,
2:12:44
Stephen Miller's a baller. A what? A baller. What's that?
2:12:49
A baller. Oh, wow. Okay. It's a badass. Oh, okay.
2:12:55
Yeah. All right. I didn't know that was going to
2:12:58
be a terminology that was off of the radar. It's
2:13:01
a baller, man. Yeah, it didn't. I thought it was
2:13:04
like a basketball player or something. Kind of. You're bringing
2:13:09
a Gavin Newsom clip? Yes. This is, you know, even
2:13:12
though you're not a dad, I think this may stimulate
2:13:17
some rage within you, Darren. Yeah, because I do have
2:13:20
a thing against bad parenting anyway. Yeah. Well, this isn't
2:13:23
the parents' fault, but you realize how bad things have
2:13:26
become in the state of California. I'll just tell you
2:13:29
the setup. It's a woman filming herself. She's on a
2:13:32
speakerphone talking to somebody at the MyChart outfit or some
2:13:37
medical institution in California. And, man, what she has to
2:13:41
say is kind of sickening. I have a question for
2:13:44
you. I got a notification in MyChart from my daughter
2:13:47
Gianna saying that once her birthday hits on August 4th
2:13:53
that I'm not going to have access through MyChart for
2:13:56
her appointments and her test results and stuff. Um... Correct.
2:14:01
What you're gonna have to do is when the child
2:14:04
turns 12, you're gonna have to bring her in and
2:14:06
she's gonna have to create her own account. Her own
2:14:10
account. How? - How much? What is this, an account
2:14:17
for? on like my device so she has her own
2:14:24
My chart, the medical website that seems every... Oh, right.
2:14:28
I was thinking, because I've got those with every doctor
2:14:31
that I've got. So wait. This doctor's office is telling
2:14:37
this woman that a 12 year old is going to
2:14:38
have to set up her own account. Yes, because you
2:14:41
get out of California. And what is the reason for
2:14:44
that? Well, because Scott Weiner, that freak up in San
2:14:49
Francisco, among his other legislation, he's passed now in California.
2:14:53
Basically, if a 12 year old says, excuse me, I
2:14:56
want to get my Johnson removed. They can have it
2:14:59
done by themselves, by their fiat. And mommy and daddy
2:15:02
have no say whatsoever. Wow. Yeah. Wow. How much... on
2:15:13
like my device so she has her own login. No,
2:15:15
her device. Her device. She's 12. She doesn't have a
2:15:19
device. and she wouldn't be able to access it. -
2:15:23
Like how is she, so you guys expect 12 year
2:15:26
olds to make their own appointments and monitor their test
2:15:29
results? - It's not us, it's not, this is a
2:15:32
state, a state nationwide thing. - Crazy. - My kids,
2:15:36
I can't even get my kids, I can't even get
2:15:38
my own kids, unless they give me access. But I
2:15:41
have to, my kids have to create their own accounts.
2:15:46
Okay, so if she creates her own account on whatever
2:15:49
device, she has her own login, we could do it
2:15:53
through that. Correct. You'll be able to email the doctor.
2:15:58
So on the account that you currently have, you'll be
2:16:01
able to schedule and cancel appointments. Okay. You'll be able
2:16:05
to email the doctor. Because the message says that I
2:16:08
can't even do appointments. Hold on! They can't do appointments?
2:16:16
I mean, is this real? This is real. This is
2:16:18
not fake. I mean, this, I mean, I'm having flashbacks
2:16:22
to the AI videos that I was complaining were fake
2:16:25
a couple of weeks ago. This is. This is real?
2:16:29
I believe it is. It's been, you know... Oh, no.
2:16:33
I guess not. So she's going to have to call
2:16:35
and create her and make her yearly appointments. Oh my
2:16:40
god, it's crazy. Okay. That's insane. How do they expect
2:16:46
kids to, say they get a blood test, how do
2:16:50
they want them to review their own blood test results
2:16:54
at 12 years old? Okay, well, we'll figure it out.
2:17:00
I'm just going to have to create the login together
2:17:03
and I'll manage it under her account. Yes. And then
2:17:08
if they do create, they have their appointment, I'm just...
2:17:12
I'm still allowed to... go in with her, right? Or
2:17:16
I'm not even allowed to be in the room with
2:17:18
her. Unless she says, if she says yes, absolutely. If
2:17:22
she says no, she has every right. Okay. There you
2:17:25
go. Wow. Four-year-olds are calling the shots. They'll decide what
2:17:28
mommy and daddy have to say or see. Okay, that
2:17:32
does not, if that's real, that is... Beyond the pale,
2:17:37
as Joe Biden would say. Yeah, well, that was a
2:17:39
big, big issue about them doing it. I mean, people
2:17:43
in California were just, you know, having conniptions over it,
2:17:46
and justifiably so, because it's all rooted in the trans
2:17:49
movement. That's the genesis. Right, because if they want to
2:17:54
get the surgery done, then the parents can't be told
2:17:58
about it because that would be bad somehow. Right. Wow.
2:18:03
Wow. If that's real, I mean, I would have given
2:18:05
you a clip of the day, but I already did
2:18:08
that. First clip of the show, because that is absolutely
2:18:11
insane. If you're in California, if you got kids. Get
2:18:15
out. Yeah, God help you. time to do this. to
2:18:21
show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all
2:18:24
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be
2:18:26
fab. No agenda Yeah, I know the jingle doesn't always
2:18:35
go there. People are like, oh, you're not doing it
2:18:37
right. It's like spinning plates. You are a great plate
2:18:41
spinner. You know you are. The best. I get better.
2:18:44
No, Adam Curry's the best. I'm getting all right as
2:18:49
time goes by. I'm going to get a little bit
2:18:52
better each and every time. By the time Adam's like,
2:18:55
give me all this stuff back, you guys are nuts,
2:18:57
then I'll be perfect. I'll be good. I'll know exactly
2:19:00
what I'm doing. But no agenda is a value for
2:19:03
value show. What does that mean? I mean, the whole
2:19:06
ecosystem, it's based on three words. talent treasure it's pretty
2:19:11
simple there's no ads there's no corporate money nothing's locked
2:19:15
behind a paywall it's not like some subscription service that
2:19:18
you're like how do i stop this no it's very
2:19:21
easy the show goes out you can grab it with
2:19:23
whatever app you want we highly recommend the podcasting 2.0
2:19:27
app because then you get the bat signal when the
2:19:29
show goes live and all the other shows that you
2:19:31
like that are on the podcasting 2.2 If you don't
2:19:39
have one. And then if you get anything out of
2:19:41
the show, did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you
2:19:44
like Larry's Fauci impersonation, man? Everybody dug that. Was it
2:19:48
better than cats? Just you get to send some value
2:19:51
back to us to keep the show going on. That's
2:19:53
it. It doesn't have to be money. That is where
2:19:55
the time, talent and treasure comes into it. You can
2:19:58
do artwork. You can tell a friend.
2:20:00
You can hit them in the mouth as we say,
2:20:01
spread the word in any way you can. And if
2:20:04
you want to go the monetary donation route that keeps
2:20:07
the lights on, do what feels right for you. Five
2:20:10
bucks could be a big deal. And some people, a
2:20:12
hundred bucks, 200, a thousand, nobody dictates the number, but
2:20:16
you, this is pure freedom. And the value for value
2:20:20
model, you can just go over to noagendedonations.com. And see
2:20:24
what number hits you. Maybe it's 888 because there was
2:20:27
888 people in that troll room the last time. But
2:20:29
Larry and I are getting compensated for these shows. We
2:20:33
left that number up to the Podfather and the Dvorak
2:20:36
clan. It's an example of value for value. Whatever they
2:20:39
think we are worth, then that's what we're going to
2:20:41
get. So we highly recommend, if you like what we're
2:20:44
doing here, that you go over and send in a
2:20:47
donation and just let them know, Darren and Larry, they're
2:20:49
okay. Yeah. I mean, it's okay as we can possibly
2:20:53
be, but, uh, let me look here at the troll
2:20:55
room. Oh, what do we got? What's the head count?
2:21:00
I know, these trolls, they always run. I don't know
2:21:02
why. We have a peak trollage of 956 with 776.
2:21:07
That sounds kind of patriotic. It does. Right now, and
2:21:11
we are glad you are joining us in the No
2:21:13
Agenda Troll Room, which is available over at noagenda.stream. And
2:21:19
then if you're a true nerd, you will figure out
2:21:21
how to get onto the IRC server direct so you
2:21:24
don't have to deal with any of the crazy web
2:21:27
interface stuff and just the way it works and all
2:21:30
the trolls there on a podcasting 2.0 app because they
2:21:33
know when we're live. The other thing you can do,
2:21:36
of course, artwork for the show. As I said the
2:21:39
other day, people like, oh, can you can you still
2:21:41
do art? Well, I could, but that wouldn't be in
2:21:44
the. No. And then I'd have to pick your stuff.
2:21:47
Would be awful. No, you would be like, no, I
2:21:49
don't like any of this stuff. This is all bad.
2:21:52
Give me a Darren thing. But we had some nice
2:21:54
art coming in on the last show and a couple
2:21:56
of the artists was Mike Riley. Somebody told me like,
2:22:00
no, no, be be vicious, be vicious to the artists.
2:22:03
Don't don't let them off the hook. But there were
2:22:06
a few nice pieces. by Dame Kenny Benn, and there
2:22:10
were a few we could have gone with. Yep. And
2:22:14
I really kind of liked... the vibe of the muppet
2:22:20
Fauci with the duct tape, but Larry hates puppets. I
2:22:24
do. It's true. So you have to learn exactly what
2:22:29
the, what the host like, and Larry does not like
2:22:32
puppets, but see, that was a Fauci muppet that looked,
2:22:36
I mean, that looks more Fauci than the actual Fauci.
2:22:40
It's amazing. That was a beautiful piece. It was good.
2:22:44
The one we chose was a cartoonish Fauci, which everything
2:22:49
kind of blended perfectly with the little bubble of I
2:22:52
take the fifth, which that was the thing you said
2:22:55
was the. Tape over the mouth. Didn't. really coincide enough
2:23:01
with the 111 times. Yes. of Fauci taking the fifth.
2:23:07
And then we had like the little lawyer names. I
2:23:10
mean, I hope the O'Neill and Blyder aren't the real
2:23:12
lawyers for Fauci because we, although we get paid well.
2:23:16
That's true. But we thought that one really hit on
2:23:19
all of the marks. I don't know what was next
2:23:23
for you. I mean, we both decided that Blue Acorns
2:23:26
Fauci writing in the diary was so disturbing. We are
2:23:28
going to have nightmares for the next. Well, as long
2:23:32
as we can imagine. Yes. It's a tad disturbing. Yes.
2:23:36
You think? I mean, really, noagendaartgenerator.com. Go look. The Fauci
2:23:43
Diary by Blue Acorn. Very weird. We had, of course,
2:23:48
Scaramanga coming in with the cheesecake, but it was a
2:23:51
little too trashy of cheesecake. And with the flock camera.
2:23:56
Yeah. I mean, and the butts. I mean, the only
2:23:58
way butt art is going to get picked is if
2:24:00
it's CSB, who said he was going to put some
2:24:02
in for today. I mean, we shamed him on the
2:24:05
last show. Like, where's the CSB art? I was gathered.
2:24:08
I was taking a nap. Like, well, why? You snooze,
2:24:13
you lose. During the show. And the Parker Pauly. One
2:24:17
which was the mashup of our original Planet Rage art
2:24:22
with no agenda was very nice as well. That would
2:24:26
have probably been second on my list after the one
2:24:31
that we chose. But there's some interesting stuff coming in
2:24:34
today. I do see something from comic strip bloggers, so
2:24:38
he didn't lie. Oh, cool. There is still plenty of
2:24:41
time, though, to compete to see what is going to
2:24:44
win today. It could be anything. That is the beauty
2:24:47
of it. And we thank Dame Kenny. But I know
2:24:49
she's been out of the art game for a little
2:24:52
while. So it was nice to see some pieces. by
2:24:55
her that came in. Yes. It is all very much
2:24:58
appreciated. It's part of the time talent treasure. Thank you.
2:25:02
Dame Kenny, Ben. And now we do need monetary support
2:25:06
to keep the show going. And this is where we
2:25:08
normally do our executive producers and associate executive producers today.
2:25:13
Again, we're going all the way down to the 50
2:25:16
mark. Why? Because we're new. We need some reps, and
2:25:22
we want to encourage you to continue supporting the best
2:25:27
damn podcast in the universe. So if you have the
2:25:31
spreadsheet open, we can... I do, Darren, and I'm going
2:25:35
to ask for your assistance to avoid the train wreck
2:25:38
situation. I'm looking at Fred Hadley's very generous donation, and
2:25:42
it says, see attached note. Where do you find that
2:25:45
note? I've got it. Let me read that one. He
2:25:47
came in with 1776 in cash. You're very brave. Wow,
2:25:52
that's cool. Cash. Wow, that's impressive. And the note was
2:25:56
on a piece of paper, so I transcribed because it
2:25:58
was a little hard to read from the picture, I've
2:26:00
got it here. He says, dear no agenda. United States
2:26:04
is a federal corporation where July 4th is Independence Day.
2:26:08
United States of America is the constitutional republic whose August
2:26:12
2nd is Independence Day. Artificial intelligence scrapes and steals, spies
2:26:18
and surveils, and lies and kills. AI serves the devil.
2:26:23
Sincerely, Fred Hadley. I was going to say, that is...
2:26:26
Fred, thank you, and I am with you, brother. Yeah.
2:26:29
You and Larry should start an anti-AI coalition. I'm down.
2:26:33
Yeah. It's the way to do it. I mean, it's
2:26:36
very much appreciated. We don't have anything as far as
2:26:39
he's an insta-knight. Obviously, I don't see any knight name.
2:26:42
If you have a knight name, Fred, please let us
2:26:45
know. And then do you want to continue with the
2:26:49
Dame? Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. She's from Los Angeles. Sorry
2:26:55
to hear that. She donated $300,000, and she said, Adam,
2:26:59
you were such a great host in 1888. I'm proud
2:27:02
of you. John, too. Best wishes to you all. Dame.
2:27:05
Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. Dame. All right. They're
2:27:10
dames. They're dames. I'm trying to be French. Oh, I
2:27:12
guess the last name. I see. You were trying to
2:27:14
bring all sorts of upper crust. Yeah. Next is Manuka
2:27:21
Gold, our friends from Hudson, Florida. And ITM from the
2:27:26
Manuka Gold family, thank you, Larry and Darren. Great job
2:27:29
filling in. We really enjoyed Thursday's show, and we're happy
2:27:32
to keep supporting. We do have a code at manukagold.com
2:27:36
for the No Agenda listeners looking for 20% off code
2:27:41
treasure. Again, that's code treasure. We'll work for the entire
2:27:45
month of August and beyond. Feel free to reach out
2:27:48
with any special request. like gift notes, etc. It's great
2:27:53
to email with fellow No Agenda listeners. And that was
2:27:56
$250. Thank you. Good gold. Yeah, I need to get
2:27:59
some of that stuff. I've heard it's the greatest honey
2:28:02
around. for all sorts of different reasons. Honey is magical
2:28:07
stuff. It's got to be the right honey. Well, this
2:28:10
is it. Yes, really. Um, next, Eli the Coffee Guy.
2:28:16
It's from Bensonville, Illinois and 208.02. Thank you to Darren
2:28:23
and Larry for doing a great job holding the fork
2:28:25
down. of us in Gitmo Nation are feeling the shadow
2:28:28
of John's passing with heavy hearts, so I figured I'd
2:28:32
offer a little ray of light. We have a new
2:28:34
Gigit baby. Congratulations. Our son Miles was born July 28th.
2:28:40
Everybody is healthy and happy. We haven't slept much in
2:28:44
the past week, but that's what coffee is for. Visit
2:28:48
gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20. Again, that's ITM20 for 20%
2:28:56
off. off your order. Stay caffeinated. Eli, the coffee guy.
2:29:01
Yeah, he's the only guy that ever got me to
2:29:03
do a meetup. And he was a good dude. Yeah,
2:29:06
he's the first No Agenda producer that I met in
2:29:08
the wild. We went to go see Eli. And I'm
2:29:11
like, I got to try some of this GigaWatt coffee.
2:29:14
Then he got me hooked. He gave me a couple,
2:29:16
like, he tried these, and I was like, oh, man.
2:29:19
Good stuff. Uh-huh. It's like crack. Once you have it,
2:29:22
you want it. You want more. All right, we've got
2:29:28
Red Knight from Bismarck, North Dakota. That's a town with
2:29:32
a great name and a great place. 201-88. Deepest condolences
2:29:37
to the Dvoraks, Currys, and all who have been touched
2:29:40
by JCD. My keeper and I were traveling, and we
2:29:44
had stopped at the world's largest truck stop in Iowa
2:29:47
along Route 180. We had just sat down for some
2:29:50
lunch when I saw the announcement newsletter. Like many others,
2:29:54
I was in disbelief. This isn't April. Reading it again,
2:29:58
and my keeper could tell something.
2:30:01
I handed her my phone. It was also very saddened
2:30:03
after reading the news. Since we were traveling for a
2:30:07
few days, I wouldn't be able to send a proper
2:30:09
note or donation. The added delay gave me the time
2:30:12
needed to process and reflect. I don't know when exactly
2:30:16
I discovered JCD, but I'm pretty sure it was when
2:30:18
he was a guest on Twit. Early in my marriage,
2:30:22
2000s, my keeper had work training in the San Francisco
2:30:26
area. I gleefully tagged along. It was during this time
2:30:30
I frequently watched, listened to Twit. They would meet at
2:30:33
various venues to record the show. I guess this could
2:30:36
have been the original meetups. I was able to be
2:30:39
part of the audience on two recordings in two different
2:30:42
venues. others I don't recall, and of course, John C.
2:30:47
Dvorak. JCD was new to me at the time and
2:30:50
didn't know all of his vast history like I do
2:30:53
now. At first, I wasn't much of a fan of
2:30:56
JCD. However, the more he popped up on Twit, listened
2:31:01
on no agenda, the more I appreciated his direct no-nonsense
2:31:04
delivery. His stories from past experiences always had my attention,
2:31:08
as well as his many tips. He even used a
2:31:11
tip suggestion I sent him called Drop Stop that goes
2:31:15
between your front car seat and console. Several times after
2:31:19
this, I tried to feed him with more tips, but
2:31:21
nothing stuck. One of the tips I sent, he said,
2:31:24
this isn't a tip, this is a product promotion. And
2:31:28
I remember that original Drop Stop. I was like, oh,
2:31:31
I need that. Because if you've ever dropped anything in
2:31:33
your car and it goes between the seats. I recall
2:31:35
that. It was a cool product. One last thing I'd
2:31:38
like to share about John is his mentioning of giving
2:31:42
a short sentence review of products like a book, for
2:31:44
example, quote, couldn't put it down or quote, a real
2:31:48
page turner, unquote. I just so happen to own a
2:31:51
game for the Apple 2GS called Crystal Quest. On the
2:31:56
front of the box is a sticker with a few
2:31:58
more of those one-liners. Our very own JCD has a
2:32:01
comment, quote, hottest game in town, unquote. I've often thought
2:32:06
about sending him this box, with donation of course, and
2:32:10
see if he would sign it for me. Another part
2:32:12
of me thought it may fall into the depths of
2:32:14
his studio to never be found again. That's probably more
2:32:17
likely. Yeah. It's never good timing when a loved one
2:32:21
leaves us. However, John's sequence of events seems appropriate. One,
2:32:24
give everyone a scare with a major surgery. Two, needed
2:32:29
passwords, digital things are realized. Three, John is recovering, we
2:32:33
need a promotion, red knight, order of the heart. Four,
2:32:36
time passes and grousing per usual. Five, evening of the
2:32:40
final event, John calls to his soulmate, spend a few
2:32:44
more minutes together, then silently exits. prayers to the Dvoraks
2:32:50
and Curries, that our Heavenly Father will carry you through
2:32:53
this valley and give you the strength for the next
2:32:55
chapter. John truly was a national treasure. Red Knight, Sir
2:33:00
Brendan, FEMA Region 8. Well, thank you very much. Again,
2:33:06
as we heard from the clip directly at the start
2:33:08
of the show. the gaping hole that is left by
2:33:13
John C. Dvorak. And it's funny, I've heard from more
2:33:16
than a few people when they posted about John. that
2:33:19
starts, at first I wasn't a fan. Because you didn't
2:33:23
really understand John. It's kind of like no agenda. People
2:33:26
that start listening to this show, there are so many
2:33:29
little backstories, so many jokes, so many, you know, in
2:33:33
the morning, people are like, what does that mean? It
2:33:35
takes a little time to kind of catch up. But
2:33:37
once you did with John, people were in for the,
2:33:39
I've never heard anybody that was like, oh, but no,
2:33:42
that didn't turn around. I mean, the minute I saw
2:33:45
him take Leo's phone and change it to Korean, I
2:33:47
was in. That's a great stunt. Everybody should do that.
2:33:54
Yes. My wife did that to me once. Before it
2:33:56
was a phone, when it was Garmin GPS on the
2:33:59
dashboard of the car, and she changed the language to
2:34:01
French. And I was headed to a very important appointment,
2:34:05
and man, I was pissed. You didn't know if you
2:34:11
were turning left or right. Exactly. I had no idea.
2:34:14
Nice. You want to do this one, Darren? Sure. Sir
2:34:19
Nobody of New Jersey. Now there's a name. $201 says,
2:34:25
Dear O'Neill and Blydener, I wanted to thank you two
2:34:28
for hosting Thursday's show. It was great, so I subscribed
2:34:31
to Planet Rage. In my previous note, I think I
2:34:35
forgot to convey my condolences and sympathies to JCD's family
2:34:39
as well as Adam's family. Congrats on the birth and,
2:34:43
of course, the Horowitz's. But on to good news. Looking
2:34:48
over my donation amounts from the last donation, I realized
2:34:51
that I'm a baronet. Those sustaining donations do add up.
2:34:57
I'm a fan of the 11-11 plan. It's not much,
2:35:00
but every little bit helps. And I'm just going to
2:35:03
say, I don't want to argue with the night, but
2:35:05
it is not nothing. It is not not much. It
2:35:08
is very much what keeps shows like this going are
2:35:12
the monthly donations. So thank you for that. Yep. Title
2:35:15
to be Baronet Nobody of New Jersey. Also, for the
2:35:18
New Jersey crew and anybody else, I'm happy to announce
2:35:21
an early meetup for Central Jersey on August 8th at
2:35:25

2:35:30
BR. Yeah, three bedroom. Titled, hey, that's a heck of
2:35:33
a bar. We drink and we know things. Absent Friends
2:35:37
Edition. I did this so as to not take Thursday,
2:35:41
not to take thunder away from the Dame Wen of
2:35:44
the Lakes fantastic pig roast meetup on September 6th, which
2:35:48
is highly recommended to the New Jersey crowd. Well, that
2:35:52
sounds like fun too. It does. Looking forward to Barrenhood
2:35:56

2:37:53
I am not overboard. Love, love, love you all. No
2:37:55

2:38:26
Larry and Darren, for stepping up. Much appreciated. Well, thank
2:38:29
you, Ian. Yes, we appreciate that when the people aren't
2:38:33
trying to run us out of town with pitchforks yet.
2:38:36
Yes, pitchfork and torch party. It's got to be in
2:38:40
there somewhere someday. And then I see we do have
2:38:42
a couple of hundreds from Baron Ladaquin of Houston, Texas,
2:38:46
and Arnold Wilbur Jr. of Independence, Kentucky. Thank you to
2:38:51
both of you. Yes. Here's one from Danny Haynes, 93.64,
2:38:58
Dear Adam and Mimi. I started listening to No Agenda
2:39:01
at episode 94 back in May of 2009 after hearing
2:39:05
John C. Dvorak on This Week in Tech. I am
2:39:09
so sad to hear of his passing. The humor, analysis,
2:39:11
and worldview have been life-changing, and the friendship between Adam
2:39:15
and John has been inspirational. This donation will bring me
2:39:19
to knighthood. of Cumberland County. This area is the entire
2:39:27
Sydney Basin accounting attached. He's got some biblical... Biblical verses
2:39:33
here, Matthew 5, 4, blessed are those who mourn for
2:39:36
they shall be comforted. Psalm 34, 4, delight yourself in
2:39:41
the Lord and he will give you the desires of
2:39:43
your heart. Yours in Christ, Danny Hayes in Greystains, Australia.
2:39:50
Thank you, Danny. Next is Ox Otherix, Buffalo, New York.
2:39:57
$90, no note. Thank you, Ox.
2:40:01
Oh. You still with me, Darren? Yeah, I'm just, I
2:40:04
lost the spreadsheet for a minute there, but I see
2:40:06
up next. Yeah, Sir Nubbin. Sir Nubbin, our buddy. Coming
2:40:10
in with 88, 88. He says, my condolences to the
2:40:14
Dvorak family and Adam. JCD was the same age as
2:40:17
my parents, so JCD passing hit really hard. Also, Darren
2:40:21
and Larry, you have really stepped up for the sub-in.
2:40:24
Thank you for your courage. Oh, it's the sub-in from
2:40:27
Sir Nubbin, who... I believe he's the only... Actually, I
2:40:33
think there's two that are Knights of the No Agenda
2:40:35
Roundtable and also... scumbags in the planet rage world. So,
2:40:41
uh, it's a very small group, but thank you, sir.
2:40:44
Nubbin. Thank you. We have, let's see, Patrick Colley in
2:40:50
Carmel, Indiana, 8888. Long time boner. Please de-douche me. R-A-P-D-C-D.
2:40:59
You've been de-douched. From Duke Slam Bob Rolling Knight 88.88,
2:41:07
thank you for your courage, gents, ITM. Boots, boobs, JCD,
2:41:12
forever respect. Duke Slam Bob Rolling Knight of the Guadalupe
2:41:15
Trail and Heartbreak Hill. Baron Sir Phenom of Appleton, Wisconsin,
2:41:22
88.88. Credit as Baron Sir Phenom. Hi, Larry and Darren.
2:41:28
So what is the thing I will miss most about
2:41:30
JCD? Now that is a great question. Where there's so
2:41:34
much the community that he and Adam created around the
2:41:36
show is nothing short of amazing. I have met some
2:41:39
awesome people through the show, like Dame Jennifer, the first
2:41:43
producer I ever met who happened to be working at
2:41:45
the same co-working space in Chirac as I was, and
2:41:49
had an N.A. mug on her desk. One of those
2:41:52
people is Sir Dank Steddy, who suffered a great loss
2:41:56
when the tornado tore through Menasha, Wisconsin, last week. their
2:42:03
beloved cat are all safe. And please send heaps of
2:42:06
karma to all of them. Next. Yeah, right. I will
2:42:11
say, Baron Serfinov in Appleton, that was the town, really,
2:42:16
that looked like it took it the hardest. We're glad
2:42:18
you're all right. The drone footage of Appleton after those
2:42:22
storms, which took out our power here. With the drunken
2:42:26
NATO and the 100-mile-an-hour winds, man, Appleton got hit hard.
2:42:29
So hopefully you and everybody around there recovers from that
2:42:33
one. This weather is no joke. Dame Rita in Sparks,
2:42:39
Nevada. Wasn't that Art Bellstown? I think so. Close by.
2:42:42
No, Power Up. That's where he was. Dame Rita donated
2:42:47
88.88 and said, ITM, Darren O. and Larry B., much
2:42:51
appreciation for your time and talent. Thank you for your,
2:42:55
is it Courage or content? It could be either, right?
2:42:57
Dame Rita, thank you. For us, it's maybe both. Okay.
2:43:03
Dame Shelley and Tom Blowers of Jeffersonville, Indiana, 8888. Thank
2:43:08
you, John. Godspeed. Dame Shelley and Tom Blowers, Brownsville, Texas.

2:48:02
Eli, the coffee guy, he got me out of the

2:48:06
couple. Always enjoy it. There was a Raleigh JCD meetup
2:48:10
report from James Jeffers who said there was no audio,
2:48:14
but they had 14 people show up. They toasted JCD's
2:48:20
memory, and they say, we miss him and remember him
2:48:25
with fondness. And there was a nice picture, some very
2:48:27
good-looking trolls out there. for the meetup. which is what
2:48:31
we like to see and celebrating JCD. I mean, what
2:48:35
better way to go than to find a bunch of
2:48:37
people who have similar ideas as you and aren't going
2:48:41
to go crazy if you disagree with them, which is
2:48:44
also a plus because we're living in a world now
2:48:47
where people are, you're wearing a red cap. You're you're
2:48:49
the devil. No, not at a meetup. Everybody's cool. And
2:48:54
then we had a North Georgia meetup. And this is
2:48:58
headed up by Sir Bob. And he's got the meetup
2:49:02
report here. He doesn't know if I'll be playing him.
2:49:04
Oh, yes, I will. But he also adds condolences to
2:49:07
Mimi and everyone else from Georgia. In the morning, Adam
2:49:11
and Mimi and the whole Dvorak clan. This is Sir
2:49:14
Bob coming at you from the North Georgia quarterly meetup,
2:49:17
which we have renamed the North Georgia Rest in Peace
2:49:20
John C. Dvorak meetup. We had a great night. We
2:49:22
had the best turnout we've had in a long time.
2:49:24
Everybody's here talking about how great John was and how
2:49:26
much he meant to us. what John meant to them
2:49:32
and I'm gonna start with that and mine is a
2:49:35
couple of things I want to say about John and
2:49:37
one of the things he used to say that I
2:49:38
always crack me up when he would go oh brother
2:49:41
and the reason that meant so much to me is
2:49:43
because my mother is the same exact age as John
2:49:47
and from a different part of the country. but I
2:49:50
guess their generation said the whole thing because when I'd
2:49:53
be with my mom and we'd be playing cards and
2:49:56
doing things and she'd go, "Oh, brother!" And it made
2:49:58
me think of John and then when John would say,
2:50:01
Oh brother, that would make me think of my mom.
2:50:03
So that was a really important thing to me and
2:50:05
it made me feel special with John and my mom.
2:50:07
And the other thing, the only thing I'm going to
2:50:09
say that I want to take to the very thunder
2:50:10
because everybody's got probably the same thing to say, but
2:50:13
I'm going to miss the three by three. I love
2:50:15
the three by three. So rest in peace, John C.
2:50:17
Dvorak. I'm going to pass the phone around and we're
2:50:19
going to get everybody else's thoughts about John. Adam, Mimi,
2:50:25
and all the Dvorak children, may God bless you, keep
2:50:28
you, make his face shine on you, and be gracious
2:50:31
to you, look upon you with favor, and give you
2:50:32
peace. Next letter that comes from quote, seronymous market return
2:50:38
to sender. In the morning, this is Sir R. I'd
2:50:42
like to give a shout out to the Love is
2:50:44
Lit for JCD Denver-Seattle parks meetup. I will not be
2:50:48
there in person, but I'll drop some DMT and be
2:50:51
there in spirit. T here, remembering John C. Dvorak, who
2:50:57
passed before there was any evidence people wanted to use
2:51:00
the mouse. I miss you, JCD. JCD. Please say hello
2:51:09
to JC. As I walk through the valley of the
2:51:13
shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are
2:51:16
with me. Sean here, thinking of JCD while we're connecting
2:51:21
and protecting. Now is the time to go out and
2:51:25
support your local No Agenda community. In the morning, y'all.
2:51:30
Hey, NA. Dr. Sir, Mike Roth. I'm gonna miss. John
2:51:36
saying my hey is rude. I followed that guy for
2:51:41
literally 33 years since I got a 386 Packard Bell
2:51:47
back in the day. And I had so many questions
2:51:51
and he was my source. I love you guys. Long
2:51:55
live NA. RIP JCD. This is Cody with Cherry Street
2:51:58
Brewing. These guys with no agenda are awesome. Hell yeah.
2:52:02
Stay safe. Rest in peace, JCD. Yeah, that's doing the
2:52:07
meetup report right. They got the server involved. That's pretty
2:52:10
cool. And Sir Dr. Mike Crotch always makes me crack
2:52:13
up. It's the voice. And then we have a report
2:52:17
from the North Idaho Sanity Brigade meetup. Head up by
2:52:21
Sir Scott the Jew, who says, apologies for the late
2:52:25
submission. I had a hard time editing this one through
2:52:28
the tears. In the morning, Gitmo Nation, Sir Scott the
2:52:32
Jew here. Now this time it wasn't just another North
2:52:34
Idaho Sanity Brigade meetup. It wasn't just another par-tay. This
2:52:38
time, it was a par-tay for JCD's life. A celebration
2:52:43
of the man. So many of the same faces and
2:52:46
voices together at the Trails End Brewery in Coeur d'Alene,
2:52:49
along with some new faces who came to one of
2:52:51
our meetups for the first time. Conversations of JCD's voice
2:52:54
and legacy abounded. A hearty cheers to the man, the
2:52:58
myth, the legend. John C. Dvorak. I've been really meaning
2:53:30
to write JCD and tell him I love all those
2:53:32
Whatever Girl clips. It keeps it lively. Wait, what's that
2:53:35
in your mouth? In the morning, No Agenda family, this
2:53:39
is Sir Spook of Spokane. We're all just sharing tales
2:53:42
of John and really all appreciating what a family the
2:53:47
No Agenda community has. John, I hope you're finding something
2:53:52
to grouse about up in heaven. We know you are.
2:53:56
Adam, Mimi, all the No Agenda family. Wishing you the
2:54:00
best. Much love and prayers. In the morning. Rest in
2:54:03
peace, John. In the morning, Flinner of the Finings here
2:54:06
escaping Spokane for the smell of freedom found in the
2:54:08
North Idaho Sandy Brigade meetup. Thankful for Scott the Jew,
2:54:13
Larry and Darren for holding down the No Agenda Homestead,
2:54:15
and the wonderful servers here at Trails End Brewery in
2:54:18
Corn Lane. Still praying for the Dvorak clan. JCD will
2:54:22
be missed but never forgotten. Keep your boots down and
2:54:24
your tails up and congrats to the newlyweds. Hey, it's
2:54:28
Rev, the gold digging cowgirl. God bless the No Agenda
2:54:31
Nation. And may JC, sitting next to Jesus, guiding us
2:54:36
through the bullshit. Love you all. This is Reb's Mule.
2:54:41
Miss you, John. All righty. What's that in your mouth?
2:54:44
This is Sir Donald at the fire bottles. Comment on
2:54:47
John Dvorak. Our true home is in the next world,
2:54:52
not here. John has been called home. May he rest
2:54:55
in peace by the mercy of God. Brigade. We've raised
2:55:01
many a glass in toasting JCD and his years of
2:55:07
pleasure in hearing him and life goes on. My name
2:55:12
is Embry and I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Sorry
2:55:16
about John, but I hope you guys keep on doing
2:55:20
the show how you used to and as fun as
2:55:23
you used to. This is Lane Fleming from Otis Orchards,
2:55:27
Washington. And I've been listening for about 13 years. I'm
2:55:31
going to miss John a lot. Sure love listening to
2:55:33
you guys. Thanks for everything. Sending lots of thoughts and
2:55:36
prayers and love to the whole No Agenda family as
2:55:40
we grieve and to the Dvorak and Curry families. We
2:55:43
will get through this. Lord, bless transitions. For all we
2:55:47
have going on in front of us, welcome your brother,
2:55:50
your son, John, all the way home. Welcome Adam into
2:55:54
whatever's next, and welcome all of us into the city.
2:55:57
On behalf of the Idaho Sanity Brigade, we miss you,
2:56:00
John. In Jesus' name. Hey guys, this is Janine from
2:56:04
Trails End Brewery. I had the pleasure of serving No
2:56:07
Agenda tonight and they were super fun. My pleasure. We
2:56:11
will see you next time. Cheers. That is a nicely
2:56:17
done meetup report. Really? It's such nice people. Wow. That's
2:56:21
cool. I know the servers are always like, oh, wow.
2:56:24
They're all good tippers. I'm sure that's it. They're like,
2:56:27
the insanity is okay. They're all having a lot of
2:56:30

2:58:14

2:58:17
be very rare right now, but if you don't see
2:58:18
anything close to you, it's very easy. You can set
2:58:22
up your own meetup listed there. And protection is connection,
2:58:26
as the podfather always says and it's true try it
2:58:30
out it's totally true *same* It is like a party.
2:58:57
And I have a couple of ISOs. We have to
2:58:58
start getting you to get ISOs as well. But I
2:59:01
put the word out there. And again, I'm going to
2:59:05
slam my head here because I didn't write down who
2:59:08
sent these in. So bad me. I apologize. But we
2:59:11
did have somebody send in. I asked for some of
2:59:14
the JCD favorites kind of thing. Cool. So we do
2:59:18
have two of those. This was the first one. The
2:59:20
only one that I brought is this one. And it
2:59:23
didn't really... This today wasn't so bad, but... stumping the
2:59:28
podcaster i thought that was good from from the podfather
2:59:32
i mean that should really you know what this should
2:59:34
be on a button that i can hit so anytime
2:59:37
somebody sends something and i'm like oh i don't know
2:59:39
what then it's just stop stumping the podcaster that's good
2:59:43
yeah make that a prime button yeah but the two
2:59:46
from sophia one of jcd's favorite was Chef's kiss amazing.
2:59:53
So there's that short and sweet that's within the normal
2:59:56
timing of a no-agenda ice.
3:00:00
but I really liked this one. That was the most
3:00:02
fulfilling, hilarious, amazing thing I've ever heard. Which one? That
3:00:09
was cute. Yeah. Really. I mean, it may be lying
3:00:12
on this episode, but I mean, I think. we can
3:00:15
go along with that one. And, uh... How you feeling?
3:00:21
Are we made it through another one? I'm feeling pretty
3:00:23
good. Yeah. I'm almost ready for Thursday. Well, let's not
3:00:29
be a workaholic here or anything. No, no, no. That
3:00:32
is gonna do it for another edition. of the best
3:00:35
damn podcast in the universe. For those of you sticking
3:00:39
around, we hope you do on the mighty NOAA agenda
3:00:42
stream. Up next is... Really? Just two good old boys,
3:00:46
Sir Gene and dude named Ben named Ben? Sir Benrose
3:00:50
chose this. Sir Gene says he never chooses a show.
3:00:53
Now you see. Yeah. That is a not the truth.
3:00:58
So you can stay along and listen to that one.
3:01:01
There were no end of show mixes. So I think
3:01:05
I'll throw in a while Dvorak's chair gently squeaks. Next
3:01:14
