*crickets* It's the No Agenda Show with your hosts, Darren
O'Neill and Larry Blydener. In the morning. It's Thursday, August
13th, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode
1894. And we are broadcasting live from just outside of
Chirac. Don't need a rain stick in FEMA region number
five. In the morning, everybody. I am Darren O'Neill. And
from the pretentious Connecticut shore, I'm Larry Blydner, keeping commies
and creeps at bay with my scimitar of truth. It's
Darren and Larry. In the morning. Yeah, thanks to Jess
Baker for that intro. I think we need maybe a
little longer. Yeah, maybe a little more underpinning for... in
that spot but I like it the voice sounds like
some cyborg from Battlestar Galactica it's like did James Earl
Jones do any voices for the Batman I know he
did Darth Vader but there was yeah I don't know
I don't know might have he was a busy guy
it has that vibe to it yeah I like him
best as Thulsa Doom Conan yeah But the podfather was
very clear, got to get rid of that fake and
gay intro. So we're going to be trying out a
few, and Jess Baker came in with the best. All
I can say, if you can extend that a little
bit, Jess, give us a little more music at the
end there. Let's just reverse it, make ours gay and
fake. It's a whole new way to go. Yeah. But
I'm happy to be here because, again, the weather tried
to take me out on Monday. Was that Monday, Tuesday?
Yeah. Were you at power outages or no? Luckily, no.
Our power stayed on. Most of the town around us
seems to be out, which is a kind of interesting
thing. But it all depends on which trees that didn't
fall down in the earlier storms. Sure. Look at the
draw. Because this was a derecho. I mean, Max Velocity,
that's a word I learned from him. A derecho came
down from Iowa into the Chicago area and... Basically, that
just means a hurricane that is inland, more or less,
that type of wind, straight line winds, rather than the
swirling that you get with a tornado. Although we also
had a tornado, so that started like maybe a mile
from north of here and went south. A couple miles
to the east, and they said that was about 300
yards wide and just cut a nice sloth through. Oh,
slicer, 300 yards. It's nothing in Sky Talk. I know.
It's like, whoa. It was probably the worst sloth. sounding
storm because usually you know the things go off you
know bad thunderstorm tornado whatever it is okay you'll kind
of meander downstairs if you have to usually not into
the basement this one was like okay go into the
basement now is that derecho d-e-r-e-c-h-o yes that's Spanish for
right I don't get it they're coming so is it
depending on was it headed let's see to the east
is that one because it would be the better word
izquierdo well not necessarily better the left hand thing is
it's a kooky word uh-huh Hmm. But it's sound. I
mean, but people say, I mean, I don't think a
tornado went right over us, but it was a the
sound of the storm was fairly interesting. And luckily, the
power just went off and on a few times quickly.
Just to scare you, a little flickering, huh? Pretty much,
but it's been weird. ComEd, they've had multiple storms here
in Illinois, but I'm blaming, again, the infrastructure because we
all know what's going on with the infrastructure. Yes, we
do. And when the power goes out now, it's not...
And I get it. These are really big storms. Um...
That's a record I didn't want to take from Adams'
home state there of Texas who had the most tornadoes
in a season ever. Now Illinois has that record this
year. Wow, impressive. So finally, something. I know, we finally
got something. Besides the creepiest politicians. I'm telling you, the
Bears are going to be, I think they were going
to announce that today. And part of the deal with
the money that is going to subsidize this is... Changing
the name. Indiana's going to be in the name. So
Chicagoans are not going to be very happy with these
politicians for letting their football team go. Sports ball. Yeah.
But they expand their... their uh league or whatever their
distance so they went from being a city franchise to
a state franchise now it's gonna be the indiana bears
is that they said indiana was gonna be in the
name i haven't seen the yeah i mean i'm assuming
that's what it'll be It'll probably be closer to here,
so it's kind of nice. I mean, if you really
wanted to go to see football games, but... Not usually
where I'm heading out. Yeah. Well, maybe you'll move, huh?
Finally get out and say goodbye to Pritzker. Just move
over the border to Indiana, although their weather has been
obviously just as bad because it's walking distance from here.
Yeah. But that's not to say there's not a lot
of insane things going on in the world. And we've
got them all for you. I tell you. And the
coverage here, why don't we start with the Fauci phone?
I see you've got the Senator Johnson. And this, he
was on Clay and Buck. And I'm sure he was
everywhere. But this... the information coming out now is beyond
the pale, as Joe Biden would say. Is there any
setup on your clip where we can jump into? On
Ron Johnson? Yeah. No, you could leap right in there,
sure. Dr. Fauci writes, I asked around a bit more,
and another issue came up that you need to be
aware of, period. Period. Since many people have significant cytokine
storm and fever after the second dose, this theoretically could
be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester. Theoretically, only
just theoretically. Theoretically, yes. And all we heard from public
officials is that this was perfectly safe for patients. Let
me go on a little bit more. In June of
2021, Tom Sheehan Bakuro, he was the man in charge
of safety surveillance systems for CDC, published a grossly misleading
paper in the New England Journal of Medicine where they
looked at 827 confirmed pregnancies. 700 of those pregnancies, the
women got their COVID injection in the third trimester after
28 weeks. Of those 827, 104 suffered spontaneous abortion or
miscarriage. The problem with those stats is they took the
104 divided by 827, came up with a miscarriage rate
of 12.6%, which is about four times the rate of
normal miscarriage rate on a confirmed pregnancy. But here's what
they did that was so grossly misleading. 700 of those
women got their injection in the third trimester. A miscarriage
or spontaneous abortion is defined as anything up to 20
weeks. So the relevant denomination should have been 104 miscarriages
divided by 127, which puts a miscarriage rate at 82%.
So, Anthony Fauci knew about potential cytokine storms impacting the
first trimester in miscarriages, told no one about it because
it would create vaccine hesitancy. There you go. Yeah, those
are stats that are... Those are hard to ignore when
you're going up from a very small number because you
were including all pregnancies in it to now you're like,
well, if you were just looking at the first trimester
and the pregnant women, I'm sorry, pregnant people, right, should
have been warned that this is a dangerous thing happening.
To take within the first trimester, yet they were so
afraid that this would cause vaccine hesitancy among everybody that
they withheld that information. Oh, yeah. You know, I happened
to flip through something I saw. Was it Netflix or
whatever? It was called Get Gotti, right? Right. And it
was a show just about how like thousands of cops
from many different agencies tried to nail that guy for
and I was still living in New York back then
and he was a big personality in the news. They
called him the Teflon Don and so forth. And finally,
and the funny part was there was the FBI, the
Organized Crime Task Force, the NYPD, and they were so
intent on getting Gotti that they were screwing each other,
not giving intel that would have been vital to help
them, you know, because they want to be the one,
I got Gotti, right? Anyway, if you think about that
guy, he's running the Gambino crime family. He did it
for maybe five or six years. And all that time,
if he had 100 guys clipped, that would be a
lot, right? Probably less than that. Maybe even 200. But
just considering that, most of them were fellow murderers and
horrible criminals. So in some way, he was maybe doing
a little bit of a public service. Right. Okay, really.
But they were intent on getting this guy because they
could, you know, file their nails and say, look how
cool I am.
How many people did Fauci kill? I mean, has anybody
come up with a number for that with his lies
and the way he misdirected everything? But he will never
do a split second in jail. In fact, look at
the old lady. She's flipping the bird to the M5M's
cameras now. That's crazy. because he kind of knows he's
impervious to prosecution. It's really frustrating, isn't it? Oh, yeah,
he has the Biden pardon. And it's even worse is
that the people that are backing him, this is a
clip from CBS Evening News talking to Dr. Serena Chen.
And they're going to go down that this was still
the right thing to do. I know. It's insane. To
talk about this and the state of the science today,
we have Dr. Serena Chen, an OBGYN and Director of
Advocacy at CCRM Fertility of New Jersey. Dr. Chen, thank
you very much for joining us. dr fauci has declined
to comment on these messages when you read them what
do you make of it you're kidding did he really
i would like to take my fifth amendment rights to
not say anything about anything about anyone ever it's like
did you expect him to no he's never going to
and it's just really it's Disgusting. And that is the
right word. And I think it was the one that
Senator Johnson used because you see these comments privately discussing
this, but they didn't make that public. It's like, I
understand. Both sides of that story But there would have
been an easy enough way to say Hey well if
you're pregnant In the first 12 weeks Be very cautious
But no Read them what do you make of it
And there's your best journalist question What do you make
of it When you read them What do you make
of it So I see somebody who is an expert,
a global expert, infectious diseases, looking at data and having
a conversation with other expert colleagues about what is going
on. He's got to make a big decision, and he
has to look at everything. And... perfectly reasonable to look
at possible concerns ultimately though when you look at the
data the risks and the benefits were really clear at
the time yeah they were really clear at the time
that if you were in your first trimester there was
an 84 chance your baby was going to die if
you took the vaccine yeah That part was clear. No,
no. She's telling you, no, no. That was clear that
the vaccine was more helpful. It's like, no, not to
pregnant women. At the same time, it violated conventional rules
to pregnancy and vaccines that were in place for decades
and decades, which was you get a baby in the
oven, no vaccines for you. Just don't do it unless
it's something, you know, absolutely horrific, you know, Ebola or,
you know, smallpox. But this, let's face it, this was
a powerful flu, you know, and a reasonably healthy woman
could be considered to survive it. So very, very evil
stuff. - The risks and the benefits were really clear
at the time. - The reason people react to this
is because there appears to be this gap between what's
being said in private with all this uncertainty and doubt,
and then what's being said in public. How do you
read that? - I think that... What he said in
public ultimately, obviously, is the right thing. This is our
recommendation today that all pregnant women. I know. Did I
hear that correctly? Yes. Knowing everything we know now. We
would still stick a woman in the first trimester with
an MRNA vaccine knowing there is, what, 84% chance that
the baby's not going to make it because, you know,
we believe the science. Well, you're not listening to the
science, madam. What he said in public ultimately, obviously, is
the right thing. This is our recommendation today that all
pregnant women should get the COVID vaccine every year and
the flu vaccine because we still know, as he knew
then, that the risks of COVID are so much higher.
than the vaccine, even though there may have been some
concerns about fever. Some concerns? Some concerns about fever. About
fever. Wow. Can we have her on as a guest,
Darren? I think we could teach her a thing or
three, maybe. Wouldn't that be fun? If this data is
correct or anywhere near correct, 84% of women having a
miscarriage and she is going to say this all comes
down to, well, there were concerns about fever. Yeah. It's
absolutely unbelievable that people are still hanging to that narrative
the way that they are. I mean, it makes zero
sense. Somebody must be puppeteering her, you know, Pfizer or
something, whatever. You know, this can't be... It's just it's
preposterous what she's saying. Absolutely preposterous. So there must be
something else. There's another layer here we're not seeing. Well,
they're probably all afraid now that Donald Trump is cutting
down the amount of childhood vaccines. And that's a great
thing. Yes, it is. Welcome back. The president signing a
new executive order calling for fewer vaccines for children. Annika
Kim-Constantino has details on that EO yesterday. Morning, Annika. Morning,
Carl. This is President Trump's latest move to reshape how
Americans vaccinate their children. The executive order directs the federal
government to cut the number of childhood vaccines recommended for
all children from 18 to 11 and split the MMR
vaccine into three separate shots spaced out across multiple doctor's
visits. And the shots no longer recommended for all children,
such as the ones for hepatitis A and B, are
advised for certain high-risk groups, and a few will be
based on consequences. with a doctor, but it's important to
note here that this does not ban any vaccines on
the market. States still set their own school vaccination requirements
and the administration says shots will stay available to families
and covered by insurance. But pediatricians still have huge concerns
here. Doctors say the administration has not provided new evidence
justifying the changes and is repeating debunked claims linking vaccines
to autism. And the fear here is that this rhetoric
and new guidance will confuse parents and make some of
them hold off on getting their children vaccinated. And this
all comes at a time where we're seeing record measles
cases in the U.S. and declining vaccination rates. Yeah, it's
all debunked. Have you ever heard the media cover anything
straight lately? No, no. I mean, these people are awful.
They really are. It's like rather than reporting the story
and saying, well, this side says this, this side says
this, it's almost unbelievable. Now, what's the subtext there? Parents
are stupid. They're going to be confused. They can't understand
anything. We'll tell them what to do. You know, one
of those, she didn't mention this one. I heard an
ad, was it on television or the radio show? They're
recommending now HPV, which is, you know, a sexually transmitted
thing that used to be they were plugging it for
12 year olds and above. Now, nine year old. You
get a nine year old kid. So how many how
many nine year olds are sexually active? And what's wrong
with that? These people are demented. No, they're evil. They're
just goddamn evil. They really are. well it is it's
about having complete control yeah we've talked about it how
in California Illinois and other places you can't even get
your child's medical records no you cannot without their permission
once I don't know if it's 12 12 years of
12 years of dad they'll decide what's right for them
not you Then why aren't the 12 year olds voting?
Oh, wait, they're going to want that soon, too. Oh,
yeah, that's definitely it's coming. Yes, no doubt about it.
But listen here, this is CNBC. And just see how
vehement they are about everything Donald Trump mentions is unfounded.
It has been debunked. yeah there was some head scratching
uh on the fact that i don't think there was
a actually a medical doctor in the oval during that
announcement and then this there was no medical doctor in
the oval larry the oval yeah in the oval i
mean since it looks like an insider in the oval
right when we not say oval office yeah No, but
there was no medical doctor in the oval because, you
know, one has to be standing. Really, this is the
left. If you don't have somebody standing behind the president
wearing the white coat, well, then it's not believable. And
let's not forget, they failed to mention the fact that
Tony Fauci was never a practicing physician. So how much
of an expert is he really? Not much. He's America's
doctor. Yeah, but he never used a tongue depressor. Well,
he might have used it for something. Maybe, yeah. There
was actually a medical doctor in the Oval during that
announcement. And then this notion from the president that some
vaccines are the size of a soda bottle, that kind
of raised some eyebrows too. - Yeah, that's a great
point to bring up, Carl. And when I talk to
pediatricians and other experts, they always reiterate the fact that
there's no scientific basis or rationale for any of the
changes that were made. And a lot of the actual
claims that Trump was making during his speech yesterday are
really debunked here. And there's decades of evidence of supporting
the opposite of that so a lot of what we
heard yesterday again there is no scientific basis there this
has to all be pfizer financed it just has to
be who else would would profit from this it is
amazing really that this is a news report on cnbc
And they are totally ignoring the fact that there are
plenty of,
of cases of antidotal evidence and i understand that is
not proof with that said when you're doing something like
trump is in this case he's taking the what's it
measles mumps and rubella vaccinations which are normally given at
one time And the recommendation now is to spread those
out each by a year, where if you do them
that way, there seems to be no problem. Well, less
problems with side effects. Never say no problems with side
effects. No, no. When it comes to anything medical. But
why is that such a problem to the left to
go, well, you know what we think may be having
these three together has caused an uptick in autism and
they're going to tap dance all the way to the
bank to try to explain why autism rates have gone
through the roof. At the same time, they're lying about
the foundational evidence. They've blown measles up to be equal
to Ebola or some horribly fatal ailment. It's not, and
it never was, and they've inflated all their research. You
know, it's a complete lie. I mean, I had measles
when I was a kid. There was no vaccine for
it then. And, you know, you got some spots on
your face and you felt crappy for a couple of
days and then you were good to go. Nobody, I
don't remember anybody ever getting seriously ill and certainly there
were no deaths from measles as kids. But now, you
know what the whole thing is? And basically, they want
Americans, if anything bothers you, from a hangnail to you
just kind of feel gloomy, take a pill, get a
shot. That's the answer. It's all in chemistry. Really. That's
the message. And with that, it's control. Yes. Because they
control who gets the shot and who has access to
it or what you're going to have to pay for
it. But in this case, I don't think anybody can
deny that for some reason, autism has gone through the
roof. And this is... a an attempt with very little
downside except for the fact and that's hilarious to me
that the left says well this just means parents are
going to have to take their kids to the doctors
more it's like i'm sorry your kids should be going
to the doctor once a year anyway for a checkup
when they're young you know it's like that's If they're
over 12, they'll decide, Darren. Right. But the vaccines are
way before then. Yeah. But it's like, so what's the
downside? They keep pumping them after that. They keep pumping
them after that. Of course they do. They don't want
to stop at 12. Yeah. Yeah. And they figure out
how they can get more money and which pills they're
going to give them. And somebody will walk in and
say, hey, tell me about Jardians. Yeah. It is just...
It's insanity. And it's sad that this is where we
have gotten. And it's sad that we have a news
media that seems to be more beholden to the advertiser
dollar than producing a story. Because in this case, this
is the least. Think about it. Think if there was
actually some Trump was saying, stop a certain drug. He's
not. He's saying just separate these into three. So that
way there's less of a chance of an interaction and
they're going nuts. Sure. Stay out of our sandbox. It's
ours. You're not invited, Trump. But, you know, there's a
kind of a lighter side to the COVID Fauci mess.
I have something here from Naomi Wolf, do you have
that one, Sandy? Yeah. You go to a city like
New York, or Boston, or LA, and there's like a
missing vibe, you know, since people have suffered this mass
injection. in New York City is overwhelmingly mRNA injected and
I went there and I just felt like something's missing
it is like a zombie apocalypse it's like where's the
human energy where's that energy of people kind of Grooving
off of each other, like resin from each other. And
if you think about what the lipid nanoparticles are, that
could explain this kind of weird zombie-like quality that... human
beings who've had these mRNA injections sort of exhibit. Stop.
Are there zombies now? Oh, listen, listen. Before we get
to the zombie aspect, notice her vocabulary. This woman is
very smart, right? Did you notice her use the word
vaccine? Did she? I don't think she did. No, no,
she didn't. She chose the correct word injections. It was
never a vaccine, not even for a nanosecond, a complete
fraudulent lie. Right. And, you know, as I'm always braying
about the left, the left, the left, they must, they
must. change the vocabulary to their thing. So, you know
what? I'm not going to call it a vaccine anymore.
She's right. It's an injection and never say progressive. That's
that's that's camouflage for commie. OK, a COVID migrant. No,
it's an illegal alien. Right. Gender. No, sex was just
a perfect word for it until a sick pedo who
should have been parboiled named John Money. came up with
calling people, you know, people's sexuality, gender, it's BS. Hate
speech. There's no such thing. You know, when you use
their words, they win. And I really got to applaud
this chick for calling those injections. That's all they were.
Explain this kind of weird zombie-like quality that human beings
who've had these mRNA injections sort of exhibit and that
sense of like loss of allure, loss of connection, loss
of magnetism. interesting it's fascinating and you know what as
i heard this i thought wow you know i grew
up in new york and you know in my heyday
um i could walk um 10 blocks and at the
end of that this would be in lunchtime or afternoon
rush hour i might have collected one or two phone
numbers two they might have actually been to you know
Real women's homes, not the dog pound. How dare you
interact with people face-to-face? On the street, yeah. And I
mean, New York was absolutely, she's not kidding. It had
a vibe of people who wanted to connect. It was
everywhere, on buses and the subway and restaurants. There was
always kind of a crackle of people. Trying to connect,
you know, and I was I visited for the first
time in 10 years a few months ago And I
was trying to figure out what's what's wrong. There's so
I the word zombie crossed my mind people People in
New York used to—they didn't walk. They trotted everywhere. They're
really fast walkers. That's gone. They're just kind of loping
along, you know, nice and slow. And you go to
a saloon or a restaurant, you look around, and they're
all kind of in slow motion. And that's not the
way it was before. I'm sure she's correct that 99%
of them took the injection and she had a much
larger piece to say about how These nanoparticles have affected
deleteriously people's genitals. You know, really bad things she says
have happened because of how much of that is correct.
I don't know, but I could corroborate her theory on
the zombification of the New York populace. A lot less
people getting laid in New York. Exactly. Birth rates have
plummeted. T-cells are in the toilet. You know, it kind
of makes sense. Well, then you see that the younger
generation isn't really into dating and that they just want
to sit on their phone and you mix all these
things together. No question. You're totally correct. The phone is
a huge, maybe the biggest factor. Yes. Then you're going
to have a whole new generation in the United States
and in the civilized world where the Chinese, they don't
let their kids sit on the phone all day. No,
they don't. They're not using the one child birth rate
anymore per couple. So they're going to be they're going
to be pushing that. But the clip collector sent me
this and kind of works here. This is the morning
Joe responds to the Trump childhood vaccine. Now, if you
really want. journalisming morning joe and mika they're where you
go oh yeah all right big news yesterday big news
big big news breaking president trump signed an executive order
seeking to reshape vaccine recommendations for children On the current
schedule, children are vaccinated against 18 diseases, but Trump's plan
would only vaccinate against 11. His order also calls for
the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella to be vaccinated.
separated into three different single shots it's currently given in
one dose and there is no credible evidence that separating
them provides a safety advantage not one study the president
also made a dangerous and false claim yesterday about the
mmr vaccine dangerous and false claim false what can they
be darren and no data well is there any data
that says uh they're perfectly safe no i mean you
need we may need studies that look at groups that
you know do a test for the parents that want
their kids to get the three and separate them and
then see if there's a difference but that is going
to take 10 20 years for any real answers sure
and i can't really go against what donald trump said
which is if this is all we have to do
is separate them and everybody still gets the full coverage
it just might be a little bit safer why would
you be so against that msnbc does not control how
about leave it up to the parents let them decide
That's what they don't like. No, they don't like that.
The MMR, we want it in three separate vaccinations, given
at separate times. Together, there could be a possibility they're
quite lethal, and separately, it looks like they are not
at all lethal, but just very effective. And I think
I heard you say that the MMR vaccine for measles,
mumps, and rubella is quite lethal. is there any evidence
of that? What I've heard is that there are some
people that say it is that way and I say,
well let's say there's a 5% chance of it, let's
split it up, let's split it up because they do
say that given individual MMOs that give an individual, there
is no impact. In fact, they've said how safe it
seems to be. But I've heard when you put them
together, they can be explosive. that's just not true to
be clear that's just not true to be clear mika
just i've studied that's absolutely he studied yeah he's a
doctor now joey's a doctor now yes he studied he
probably called anthony fauci no doubt by the way you
know fauci Okay, continue. Medical evidence. No study. To support
what you just heard from the president. No medical evidence.
Bobby will say it. To what he just said. Bobby
may be that person he's talking about, but nobody else
has said that. There's no medical evidence except Bobby might
have said it. Well, you know. again if somebody tells
you that uh you know do you're going to do
these three things anyway but if you do them in
this order they might kill you if you do them
in the other order that's much safer well wouldn't you
do them in the other order no because pfizer needs
those profits for quarterly you got to mix them all
in one time yeah listen to the science Yes. And
I don't understand why you wouldn't, again, just cover that
story with, well, there is no evidence, but what harm
is it going to do? It's not like he's saying,
no, we're not going to do these vaccines anymore. Right.
Well... How much does Pfizer contribute to their ad revenue
each year? I think your answer is probably there. Probably
a lot. Of course. Of course. That's why they're so
vehement about this. I mean, they're foaming at the mouth
to defend that crap. Trying to watch any kind of
news coverage. It's very... like, oh, reverse mortgages. That's right.
There's medications usually for, you know, the fat drugs. See
your doctor. It's too much. Ask your doctor today. It
has to be a 90-second ad, too, because 60 seconds
are going to tell you what might happen, including death.
And the people in them always have that kind of
zombie thing going on. Have you noticed that? None of
them moves very quickly. They might all be AI by
now. Maybe. Maybe they are. By the way, did you
know that Fauci's name is now listed in the Urban
Dictionary? I don't want to know. It says, as a
verb, to plead the fifth to refuse to answer a
question, especially avoiding self-incrimination. So as an example, it says,
interviewer, quote, did you see who ate the last slice
of pizza? Me. I'm going to Fauci on that one.
So there you have it. at least it's not any
crazy sexual thing yet which is what normally that'll come
in the urban dictionary now we've had the election you
and I talked about Ms. Hong in we did in
Wisconsin and as long as we're picking on NBC now
This is their coverage on it. And this is the
other interesting thing that really was not clippable, but it
proves to me. That social media is complete and utter
garbage. It is completely inaccurate. It doesn't matter if you're
on the left or on the right. You're most likely
getting things that are not true because this clip of
NBC covering the The elections was hosted by a bunch
of right leaning accounts and half of them called them
CNN, half of them called them, you know, I think
MSNBC. They were just like, it's right there on the
video. You can see the little thing on the bottom
that shows you what it is. So you're posting a
video that clearly says NBC. And you're going to be
like, oh, even CNN's amazed. There you are. But it's
not CNN. OK, and Hong is losing statewide by 6,400
votes with, you know, nearly 60 percent of Dane in.
Her margin here is only three thousand seven hundred thirty
two. I mean, this is supposed to be the idea
of a if this this was going to be a,
you know, a sort of DSA earthquake in Wisconsin. This
was going to be its epicenter, Dane County. This is
what Dane County looks like with almost 60 percent of
the vote in. So so again, zoom out. You know,
I've I've been, you know, processing this and reserving judgment
and the possibilities here. But, you know, they're very friendly,
long precincts in Dane and everything. But I mean, that's
a lot of vote in in Dane County. And, you
know, that margin there has not opened up the way
I think a lot of people expected it was going
to. Meanwhile, OK, waiting on Central Count in Milwaukee, Waukesha
just a tick more came in since we last checked,
nothing there. In Washington, in Ozaki. So, yeah, they're really
not sure what's going on. But let's remember if you
were watching the polling numbers, which anybody that pays any
attention to polls. You're out of your mind because they
are never right. Before this election, I think the polling
on average had hung up like 20 or 22 percent.
She lost. But what I saw, I guess a day
or so ago, was she lost by just a hair.
Yes. It was a very, very narrow margin, right? Am
I correct? Yes, very. But she was supposed to win
by 22%, so... Yeah, but for an insane commie, she
did pretty damn well. Oh, yeah. I mean, really. This
is, yeah, the Democrat Party having its own little infighting.
This was another clip of the same dude when all
of a sudden, out of nowhere, a ballot surge came
in. Oh. By mail overnight? Probably, yes. On a USB
stick. That wasn't the right USB stick or something. There
was some weird things going on. Okay. Wow. Wow. What
the heck just came in in Brown? Was that the,
that was huge for her. Yeah. So that was about
18,000 votes and she nets 2,000. - Yeah. question was
that the I mean you can tell this guy even
without the video you can tell this guy is amazed
by what just came in while he's covering this live
on the air was it pulled out from under a
desk and uh In Atlanta, right, probably. It was in
a banker's box that was found in a janitor's closet.
Right. That wasn't central count, was it? It's possible. There's
no remaining vote in Brown, according to our counter. I'll
check the website. I said I want to present more,
but now I do, because if that was central count,
what was his percentage of that vote? Let's take a
look. If this was Central Count, this is the question
we're getting at from Milwaukee. If he just got buried
in Central Count Green Bay. It was 44 to 34.
Hong over Crowley. Okay. Okay, yeah, let's... Can we ask
our decision to ask what we think that was that
just... And do we think there's central count left for...
Can we ask our people what the hell just happened?
Hmm, really? Really? CNN says the establishment is striking back
Bernie Sanders Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez they did not endorse her as
they had endorsed Abdul Al-Sayed in the Michigan Senate Democratic
primary there I want to say I've been on cable
the last few days a lot it's where I like
a little laugh tell there I've heard a lot of
Republicans with talking points. They were loaded for bear on
Francesca Hong. Francesca Hong was the candidate they were focused
on. They were already trying to nationalize her. What they
saw is her imminent victory in Wisconsin. How surprised are
Republicans this morning? John, they are very surprised that not
only were they talking about this campaign and how they
would effectively use some of her comments, they were trying
to prop her up at the same time. A remarkable
play here. The Republican governor's Association was spending more than
four million dollars running ads showing that she's a strong
progressive. Well, that was seen as a way to effectively
meddle in this race. So Republicans were hoping to run
against her. That did not happen. So this race is
an example of the establishment striking back. But John, I'm
also thinking back to an interview I had with David
Crowley on Sunday evening. I asked him, about that establishment
thing. He said, look, I'm established, but I am not
a member of the establishment. If he would win, he
would be the first African-American governor right here in Wisconsin.
Yeah. Have you checked Crowley's policies?
No, it's probably not a whole lot different. It's almost
identical to hers. So really, you know, it's the same
thing. They'll make great hay out of Crowley's nonsense. Well,
it's because Democrats be Democrat-ing. That's true. And people are
like, oh, you guys are all one-sided. It's like, show
me where I'm wrong. Yeah. This was an interesting little
blurb when they were talking about this on CNN and,
of course, all of the voting, the Save America Act.
This was something that even surprised me. This was a
White House spokesman saying that, yeah, Obama shouldn't have been
on the ballot illegally in Indiana. Oh, yeah. this is
good in arizona he hired the the ninjas what were
they called the cyber ninjas i'll give i'll give you
i'll give you an example where it has been determinative
and that's in my home state of indiana saint joseph
county the gentleman you previously worked for david axelrod barack
obama got on the ballot Because Democrats in that county
submitted fraudulent ballot petition signatures. People, including the Democrat county
chair, went to jail. over that. Barack Obama should not
have been on the primary ballot in the state of
Indiana. But that's not a voting... That's not a voting
issue. Like, that's... Can you believe this is the... What?
That's not a voting issue. Well, but that's not what
the Save America Act is going to... help with this
is the guy on CNN oh but that's not a
voting wait the guy shouldn't have been on the ballot
he got on the ballot illegally but to CNN that's
not a voting issue in the state of Indiana. But
that's not a voting, that's not a voting issue. Like
that's something. Well, it is a voting issue because he
was on the ballot and people could vote for him.
That's not a Save America Act issue though. That's not
a, you know, they're stealing the elections, illegals are voting.
That's an Indiana issue because Indiana is the one that
determines who's on their ballot. How did that get determined?
And that's Axelrod asking, who's like, wait, wait, how did
this happen? Who was that idiot? I mean, that's incredible.
The guy from CNN. I don't know which actor that
was. I'm sorry. How did that get determined? It was
finally exposed two years later. It went through the courts
and several people found themselves in jail. But that's the
problem. It didn't happen. They didn't find it before he
was on the ballot. It took years after. Oh, but
that's just an Indiana problem. Just an Indiana. Yeah. the
way the system works you got to be amazed you
do and revolted jen pisaki uh i hate the term
but said the quiet part out loud that the democrats
used to be the ones picking the candidates not like
letting the people decide It is really and I want
to bring Liz Smith into this conversation because Liz and
I grew up in Democratic politics. We're still young. of
course but um but we grew up in democratic politics
together and i think we both remember well when party
leadership really selected the nominees now you would never say
it that way exactly but they would you can now
now we can we're free um you know they they
really did because they would put money behind it they
would endorse um and now it it looks very much
like party leaders are not picking the nominees in fact
party leaders pushing nominees is is a negative it is
is a negative in many of these races but what
you mean are the ones with the highly leftist dsa
candidates is what you're saying yeah these people are no
good right hey ladies and gentlemen it's the podfather adam
curry 22 years ago today the daily source code ah
you remember yeah you remember i love it i love
it in the morning to you both in the morning
morning in the morning it's where real podcasting began Was
it 22 years ago? Was it 20? Was it? I
thought it was 20, 20, 20, 304. I thought it
was three enterprise on the 13th of the month. That
was very, no, no, no, bold, bold. I don't want
to interrupt your flow here because this is so interesting.
These DSA people, you look at the response on social
media. And you think that they were already, you know,
in the House and in the Senate. Oh, another communist
won. These are primaries. Yes. It's meaningless. Yeah, they still
have to go through the big election. Yeah. And if
you look at, what's the Al-Fayed? Is that the guy's
name? Al-Fayed. Yeah, Al-Fayed. From now on known as Al-Fayed.
And he's got to look like Alf in any album
art. There you go. You know, if you look at
the primary results, none of the working class Ari has
voted for him. None of them. It's all, and I
understand, these are all highly educated, highly debt-laden people who
got, sadly, psyoped into believing that if you go to
a university, then you will be rich when you go
into the workforce. You'll do just fine. And the two
things that changed is their parents allowed them to go
to woke universities, the woke universities were allowed to exist,
they came out with gender studies degrees, and they're useless.
And so yeah, and it's all about a hate Trump,
protects our community of illegals. And Medicare for all. It's
all the things that have already been adjudicated in Congress.
And I think this is great. I mean, there's a
lot of Republicans I think are nuts too. But these
people, I don't see them winning. Well, have you seen
El-Sayed doing his cowboy dance? No. Oh, wait a minute.
He should come to Texas with that, right? Yeah, I
would have brought a clip, but it was just musical.
And Darren, you should know, he was dressed like the
cowboy from the village people and kind of moved like
him, too. And he learned that. He learned the dance.
He's doing his dance to a Taylor Swift tune. So
there you have it. Nice. Nice. It's even better. But
the guy, you know, he's completely from the whole Axelrod,
Obama... background i'm you know this this guy smells so
bad road scholar okay not just a road scholar i
checked on him a part of his education was paid
for by the soros foundation who by the way is
96 years old today happy birthday wow wow but the
foundation birthday list It's not like he's... Put him on!
Put him on! It's not like he's sitting there stroking
his white pussy, pun intended. You know, the Open Society
Institute, I mean, that thing has been so ingrained across
the world. It's a machine. so that is a real
problem but dsa everyone's just who who runs the dsa
Who are the leaders of the DSA? Who's running this?
Nobody knows. No one talks about it. They're never doing
interviews. I thought it was Antifa. no there is no
such thing as oh that's right it's an idea joey
says it's just a thought it's a concept this was
there was a co-chair was on uh the uh on
fox and actually went hard to believe for an interview
on fox and had a really hard time explaining the
millionaire's tax Now, Hong also wants to abolish ICE to
fund the police, push government-run socialized health care for all,
create state-run grocery stores, and allow transitioning treatments for minors.
Sounds like a plan. Some of those points are pretty
consistent with her past pledges, especially her attacks against law
enforcement. All of that appears in lockstep with the broader
DSA platform, which critics say is so detached from reality
that even the co-chair has trouble explaining a key pillar
of it, high taxes. Do you believe there should be
millionaires in this country? I'm less concerned about millionaires, more
concerned about billionaires. We do believe in taxing the hell
out of millionaires. If you're the co-chair of the DSA,
shouldn't you be more specific than just taxing the hell
out of something? What exactly do you mean? so again
it's democracy right and we have to look at what
we need to spend and what we need right we
look at what we spend and what we need and
we just take it take it take it right right
span it's one hell of a plan It's a great
plan. They're only concerned about billionaires, which, again, if you
take all the money from all the billionaires, you're still
not going to pay for what you want. But it's
crazy because these kids who are all in on this,
because I have a daughter in New York, stepdaughter, but
she's my daughter. And, you know, I was pretty successful
at deprogramming her during COVID. It was difficult. We started
at, you guys are white supremacists. Why do you say
that? Why do you say that? She went to University
of Arkansas. Really woke, woke, super woke college. Who knew?
Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, it's it's it's really incredibly woke
or whatever we used to call woke one, I guess.
I don't know what it is these days. And I
said, well, what? Why do you say that? So, well,
because you're watching Tucker Carlson every night. Oh, OK. And
then, of course, Tina's like, wait a minute, you're living
in a house, your lifestyle is funded by white supremacists,
what's wrong with this picture? Anyway, so she's in New
York, and definitely I will take some credit for deprogramming
her. She's even said, hey, you know, you guys were
right. But that's when it came to when it came
to Luigi trial. Oh, she was out there. Oh
Well, yeah, she's like, you know, first of all, she
thought he was hot, you know, on the down low.
Like, what do you mean hot on the down low?
Well, he's secretly gay. Oh, okay. All right. I'm learning
all this stuff. And, you know, so she was like,
free Luigi. And I'm sure she voted for Mamdani. I'm
pretty sure she did. She said, you know, he wants
to give us stuff that we need. Now, here it
is exactly. Now, she's since, funny enough, she's gotten into
quite a career path where she's doing quite well for
herself. But she was, you know, busting tables, slamming drinks
at bars. And in that period, here she is, highly
educated, with a poli-sci degree, kind of useless. And, you
know, she was like, yeah, I'm all in on this.
Give me some free stuff. So that is your audience.
I don't think it's that big. No, because anybody that
starts then making their own money realizes where that money
is going to go to pay for everything else that
you were promised for free. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You de-incentivize
somebody actually being successful. Now, the thing that is dangerous
that I feel is something we need to look out
for is what my neighbor down the street, Laura Logan,
she calls it the Red-Green Alliance, which is the socialists
with the Muslims. And this, I mean, this is, Texas
is just out of its mind right now. Now, there
is a real concern here because I saw this happen
in Europe. It takes 25 years, but it can happen.
But it's just kind of starting here in the United
States because the last four years and... Even during Trump
and before Trump, this immigration, it's always immigration. It's not
Muslims. It's immigration. Sure. And it's the apathy of people
sitting around going like, eh, city council, school board, who
cares? You know, like state senate, like, eh, nobody. And
then these highly organized, funded organizations. And groups like, you
know, the socialists, the DSA, they start to meld with
the enemy of my enemy. Oh, wait a minute. You
guys hate conservatives and Christians. Good. You'll be with us
and we're going to put a stamp on you and
then you can go into government. And when you get
to that point, that's where you have to be careful,
because then, you know, now someone has different ideas about
what your city or your state or, God forbid, your
country should act like and be like. We had this
big thing in Texas about the curriculum for the school
board. I mean, it was open for comments. They literally
had to do three days. There were so many people
had comments. And you had the socialists. Who wanted no
Ten Commandments, no Bible history lesson. They wanted Koran, I
mean, all of this stuff. And people came out, you
know, people got organized. They came out and then they
said, no, no, no, that's not going to happen. Here's
what we're going to do. But that's only because people
started to get mobilized. And now it's just... It's so
crazy. There was an article this morning. Let me see.
Here, Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to install Muslim foot wash stations
inside terminal bathrooms. Well, everybody is just like, this is
an outrage. What's happening? Of course, they did this at
the Houston Airport in 2024. Yeah. We have special pat-downs
for Sikhs and turbans and all that, but now they've
completely gone nuts, and they're fundraising off of it, and
I'm like, we are so stupid. The three of us
are so stupid. Here's what we need to do. Go
ahead, Larry. It's been in the pipeline for a long
time. I mean, my older daughter's 26, and when she
was in first or second grade at a public school
in Los Angeles, okay, so that's 20 years ago, they
canceled St. Patrick's Day and replaced it with Ramadan. Whoa!
Yeah, and... Okay, so this was very real. But did
you run for school board to stop that nonsense? No,
of course not. I did not. I ran for cover.
Woo! Yeah. Hey, morning zoo time, everybody. Nice, very good.
But that's what I give myself the blame. Like, I'm
in the 80s, 90s. I was MTV guy. I was
making money. I got no time for your school board
nonsense. But you know what I think... I think that
if you really boil it down to the very essence
of politics that goes back farther than the invention of
communism or socialism or any of this stuff, there's only
two kinds of people in this world. And those on
the left, I kind of called ASCOs, which stood for
Assholes Seeking to Control Others. People who want to tell
you what to do. And most of us on the
other side, who do have families and lives and jobs
at MTV or elsewhere, right? Right. How do we live?
We just want to be left alone. Leave us the
F alone. That's really what it boils down to. And
so those ones that are obsessed with controlling other people,
it's their religion. It's just what makes them tick, you
know, and they'll always be doing it. But to be
an American is to represent and to get... Get your
ass in gear. You're right. It should be. We kind
of forgot that. We took that for granted. True. And
I will ring the bell about that because I saw
it happen in Europe. I saw just apathy. People like,
yeah, whatever. Government never changes. And it did. Right under
their noses. Yeah. Right under their noses that changed. Now...
What gets me is the amount of YouTubers and podcasters
who are just making bank on this Muslim stuff. I
mean, we have one Muslim donor, Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch
and Lois Lobovia. He seems pretty okay to me. He
doesn't seem like a political radical Islamist. But I think
we just need to say it. If you don't support
no agenda, the Muslim Brotherhood will take over this show.
Can't deny it. Can't deny it at all. Who knows?
Larry may be asleep herself, for all I know. I
feel like it, Adam. I really do. I've never seen
you in person, man. I don't know. I don't know.
You got a beard? You got a beard? It's the
same thing with... No, Gene has the beard. You got
to really be careful of Sir Gene. Gene looks just
like a terrorist in general. Well, that's true. The people
assume that who is ever in charge... It's doing the
right thing by them. And that lasted for so long
because it was kind of the case for a long
time. They've completely checked out. And it's the same whether
it's local government and the PTA or it's who you're
electing for your state Senate or House or who you're
electing. to send to Washington. They're just assuming like, well,
the people that we put there, they have our best
interests at heart and the mainstream media gives them that
story. So they just go on their day and they
don't know what's going on at all. They're ignorant. i
think a part of it too is parenting i never
voted till i had kids because i just didn't care
what kind of word world will i leave behind what
do i care i won't be in it yeah how
about you at when did you first vote adam just
curious um probably not until Gosh, probably not until I
was in New York at MTV, so my mid-twenties. All
right. And part of it was because we lived overseas.
My parents did vote. It was a real hassle to
get an absentee ballot. You know, these days, it just
comes to your door. You get a hundred of them.
Look, I got a whole mix of them. It was,
you know, I had to go to the embassy, you
had to show your papers, and you had to request
it, and then you had to go pick it up
at the embassy. It was a real ordeal. My parents
both did that. And I think the only reason why
I, for the same reason you're saying, Larry, the only
reason why I eventually did vote is that MTV, these
were all New Yorkers, and they lived in New York,
and they were like, you know, voting day. It's like,
oh, no, man, like, I got to go vote. Yeah,
it was it was a thing, you know, and then
I also hadn't really been in America growing up. So
that's when I realized, oh, crap, I probably should vote.
And I'm sure I voted for Bill Clinton. I'm quite
sure of it. You know, because it was cool. Boxes
are briefs, Mr. President. And I got an invitation from
Hillary to go visit the White House. Did you really?
I want to know more about this. Yeah, I wish.
I wish. You didn't go? No, I was on assignment.
I think at the time I was doing the... I
was the only guy who could ski at MTV, and
they did a deal with the pro-Mogul skiing tour, which
meant someone had to go out. Unfortunately, someone had to
go to every single awesome skiing place in the United
States. That's horrible. That's horrible. And British Columbia. I went
to Whistler and, you know, and I would do the
top 20 countdown, a couple of segments. And when I
got back, someone said, oh, yeah, you know, this came
to you up at the office. And you have to
understand, the office and the studio, there was two different
worlds. The MTV News Department, which came in at a
certain point, and they hated us. They just hated the
VJs. VJs were just scum to them. We never got
invited to the Video Music Awards. Oh, yeah, you can
have a ticket. Oh, yeah, you can get a ticket
if you fly yourself out. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
And so, and then, and this invitation
It'd come in from the White. I still have it.
It'd come in from the White House. The First Lady
requests your presence. I don't remember what it was for,
but so it had already passed by the time I
got the invitation. You were a ski bum. A ski
bum. Yes. Indeed, ski bum. But yeah, to answer your
question, you know, mid-20s. You know, mid 20s. And, and
yeah, you know, so that is, I, people are right.
If you don't, if you don't, what's the acronym? G-Y-A-G-Y-I-A-G.
Get your ass in gear. G-Y-A-I-G. Troll room's already created
an acronym. Gyagi. Gyagi. yeah um then it can be
taken away from you i saw it happen how do
you feel when you go back to netherlands and see
what's happening i mean that must really depress the hell
out of you does it well so the kids uh
my daughter uh uh kevin her i'll just call him
fiancee Uh, because, uh, that's, he's promised me that he
will marry her. They're doing a reality show right now.
So I said, okay, season two, then I'm fine with
that. You don't mess with the podfather with the judge.
Have someone else pay for it. Um, and of course
my granddaughter, Cleo, little baby Cleo, I'm not. Held in
my arms yet, end of the month. You know, all
of Rotterdam, not all, but many parts of Rotterdam are
just Moroccan now. And that is an immigration issue which
turns into a Muslim issue because they have their own
schools, which are, I guess, technically... Not called the Madras,
but it's probably pretty similar to it. The Macro Mafia,
as it's known, they run all the drugs in Holland,
all of it. And they run the drugs all through
Western Europe. It all comes through the port of Rotterdam.
Wow. So, you know, my daughter doesn't necessarily feel safe
walking alone. She can take care of herself, but she
doesn't like it. And when we were there visiting a
couple weeks ago, she's like, I think the topic of
boobs came up. Yeah. The boobs donation. This is people
talk. Well, it came up in the context of feeding
the baby, breastfeeding. And in Europe, it's very common for...
Women to breastfeed in public It's not a big deal
In fact, growing up in the Netherlands Although a tad
shocking to my parents In the early to mid-70s You
go to the beach And Holland has beaches It's right
on the North Sea there and everyone's topless men and
women and it was just normal and the dutch didn't
even understand you know co-ed showers at the sports club
wow this would now that has gone away uh over
time but just you know taking your top off as
a woman on the beach was not seen as a
big deal Well, now, oh, no, not only that, but
they have burkinis everywhere. So it's a burka bikini. And,
yeah, the freedom, loving, open kind of, I will say,
liberal... The society of the Netherlands is ruined. Changed forever.
Changed forever. What about the red zone in Amsterdam? Is
that still cooking? That's a tourist trap. I mean, they
changed that a long time ago. The coffee shops are
dwindling because you can't sell it as a coffee shop.
So you have to keep operating until you drop dead.
I don't think even your kids can assume it. So
all of that cool stuff is gone. Now it's a...
Nut jobs with TikTok, you know, influencers everywhere. There's a
sign like, oh, we have the strobe waffles from TikTok.
This is the place you need to get them. There
was never like fresh strobe waffle bakeries in Holland. You
know, a baker might make them. And now it's a
TikTok attraction. It's all ruined. It's ruined. Yeah. It's been
Disney-ized, Americanized. Not Americanized. I mean, first of all, in
Amsterdam, there's no Dutch people. It's all expats. Wow. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I love Amsterdam. It's so cool. I ride
my bike everywhere. Yeah. grandma back yeah exactly yeah but
it's the same thing what's going on in london what's
starting to happen in ireland it's all just the destruction
of culture and it's being done intentionally And everybody wants
to just ignore it and say, well, it's good to
have diversity. It's like, well, but it's not good to
destroy cultures. No. Well, and that, you know, so if
you look at these DSA or DSA adjacent candidates, one
of the big things there... One of the big things
they're talking about is affordability, okay, affordability, and this is
something that's coming from both sides of the spectrum, affordability
and endless wars. And, you know, I've been looking at
this Iran war since it started, but before then as
well. You know, Iran has always been an interesting, interesting
region. And, you know, particularly 79, we all know, you
know, what we did in 79 is, you know, we
we've. We've always been a part of the kind of,
well, the North Sea nexus has always been about keeping,
keep that region, keep it a problem, you know, so
we can kind of own the oil trade. You know,
oil is still mainly traded on the ICE, which is
the British exchange. Of course, there's also Brent is traded
in the United States. Or Texas crude, WTI. But the
whole, you know, the oil has always been the issue.
And for all these years, 47 years, as our dear
old Lindy Hop would say, Iran has just been a
problem. And now everyone hates Trump. All sides hate him.
But I... I think they're missing what he's doing. First
of all, Trump doesn't care. He doesn't care if the
Republicans lose the midterms. He doesn't care. He really does
not care. He has a couple things he wants to
fix with America. The first one is production, factories. I
think he's largely succeeding. If you see that the jobs
report, okay, it's 5,000 jobs, but, you know, came after
another 15,000 that were created in a previous report. He's
put these section, I think it's 232 tariffs on steel,
which makes anything... And anything coming from abroad that contains
steel, just too expensive. So I know a CNC milling
guy here. He says, we can't, almost can't handle the
work. Wow. And it's all American steel, which he said,
yeah, it's more expensive. The prices are going to come
down over time. But if you look at the Chinese
steel... It was crap. 40% you throw away. It was
just no good. So the job, I think that's the
big part. If I believe Mike Rowe, and I tend
to believe him, there's 7 million jobs that need to
be filled, and there's 7.5 million jobs People who just
stop looking for jobs. Now, I don't know exactly why
that is or that they're living with their parents. There's
40,000 welders that are needed. You know, another multi-10,000 electricians.
You don't need a degree. You can just go to
an electrical industry. company and say, I'm willing to work,
they'll teach you. Right. They'll train you quick. I mean,
we have a guy here in Fredericksburg and he prepares
the wineries. He does all the You know, the pre-planting,
the harvest. Well, of course, the vines aren't really planted.
They stay there. But all of the sprinkler systems and
ice came through town. Oh, we need a lot of
employees. No, ICE has been through Fredericksburg several times. And
so, you know, all of his workers are gone. And
he is desperate. Be like, you know, they're up to
like $30 an hour. I'll pay anything. Just come and
work for me. So that's going to change. And that
is... That's kind of the point. That's part of what
the president was doing. Now, when it comes to Iran,
I think everyone is seeing it incorrectly. This is, you
know, we have the choke points, the main one being
Straits of Hormuz. You know, we have the Suez Canal.
There's another one there. Oh, I'm forgetting the name. But,
you know, these are the maritime routes. And I'm just
going to put fertilizers and stuff to the side. And
when, you know, when there's problems in the region, then,
you know, the oil doesn't flow as it should. This
is... Bank of America guy talking about it on CNBC.
Well, it's a bit of a laundry list. So to
the extent that the U.S. and Iran cannot come down
to an agreement to allow free passage. Remember, we are
seeing just about five to ten ships a day. We
need to see about 140 to be back at pre-war
levels. And frankly, to stabilize the market, we probably, because
we are rerouting through Saudi Arabia and the UAE, We
probably need to see 80 to 100 ships a day.
So again, we need to see roughly 10 times the
flow of ships to normalize prices and prevent
An escalation into the winter. So the analysis that no
one is giving is that this entire operation started a
year before the kinetic operation. And it is our gay
general Patton, Scott Besant, on the down low, who started
Operation Economic Fury. And... He, in this clip, I'm glad
I got this one. He explains exactly what the plan
has always been and what it's going to be. And
then I have some clips to back up that it's
happening. At Treasury, we did economic fury. What goes a
little publicized is, you know, on the kinetic side, AIR
FORCE IS WIPED OUT, NAVY IS WIPED OUT, A BIG
PORTION OF THEIR MISSILES, MORE IMPORTANTLY THEIR MISSILES PRODUCTION. ON
THE ECONOMIC SIDE, WE HAVE THEM BY THE THROAT AND
THEY'VE GOT 150, 180% FOOD INFLATION, NOT ABLE TO PAY
THE TROOPS. SO I THINK Maybe even today, tomorrow, we
are going to see an agreement, 30, 60-day ceasefire. And
the strait will be open, energy prices should come down.
There are some who have speculated the strait will never
go back to being the way it was before. What
would you say? I would say, I would take... I
think they're saying that in a doomsday sort of way.
I would say it in another way. The strait is
never going back to the way it was because the
Iranians have used... or tried to use it as a
choke point. What we are going to see over the
next two years, the strait's going to become irrelevant. It
is going to become just another body of water, and
I would say that more than 50 or 70 percent
of the energy that moves through the strait now is
going to go through underground pipelines. My favorite topic The
pipeline Yes And all these pipelines Are already in place
They've been used They're not big enough To make up
for the 20 20 million barrels Of oil per day
But they're being expanded If you recall The UA Now
UAE Saudi Arabia All these guys got oil Iran's not
the only one And they stepped out of OPEC, which
means one thing. They can pump as much as they
want. They're not restricted by the rules of the oil
producing economic communities or countries. And they're doing it. This
crown prince dude, he's not messing around. The Strait of
Hormuz has been a key energy artery of the world,
a narrow stretch of water just 33 kilometers wide at
its tightest point, through which nearly a fifth of global
energy supplies passes. But now, as Iran continues to restrict
global shipping access, through the strait, the UAE expediting an
alternative oil trade route. Abu Dhabi is moving with unusual
speed to ensure that its economic future is no longer
tied to Hormuz. The UAE has ordered a fast-track expansion
of a major West-East oil pipeline, a project designed to
bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely. The directive came from
UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed, who
has been asked Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to accelerate
construction timelines. At the center of this strategic shift is
Fujairah. Unlike most Gulf export terminals, Fujairah sits on the
Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz. That makes
it one of the few safe exit points for Gulf
oil if the strait remains disrupted. The UAE already operates
the Hapshaan-Fujaira pipeline, capable of moving up to 1.8 million
barrels of crude per day. But now, Abu Dhabi wants
to double that capacity by 2027. It means that the
Gulf monarchies are no longer treating Hormuz disruptions as temporary
crisis. They are building for a future where they will
no longer be reliable on the straight. And that marks
a fundamental strategic shift. For years, energy security in the
region was built around the assumption that global navigation through
Hormuz would continue. Now, with Iran's restrictions through the strait,
that assumption has collapsed. So look at the two-year timeline
that Besan is talking about. That's 2028. These pipelines will
be in full operation. There's even a pipeline that Iran
built. That goes from it goes up the coast of
Israel. You got to wonder why we're going to protect
that bypassing the whole Suez Canal nonsense. That's being that
was built in like 1967 that's being reactivated. Now, so
by 2028, the oil will be flowing just the same
as it was, maybe even a little bit earlier. By
2028, the steel industry will be, you know, for every
job you create at the top end of steel, there's
like six jobs downstream, people are going to be back
at work just around the time when you know we're
going to have a general election new president will come
in it doesn't matter who it is they're not going
to say to the steel producing states well that's no
good right send it back to china because you'll never
get elected So I think what the president is doing,
yeah, I can see, I love the trope, trust the
plan. Yeah. Okay. This is not 5D chess. This is
just chess that no one's reporting on. It's that simple.
Some Indian lady is where I have to get these
clips from. Are you kidding me? So that's what's going
on and it will be good. I feel very good
about it. And the president does not care about the
midterm election. I don't think he even cares about who
comes after him. No, he wants his legacy. That's it.
Yeah, that'll be his legacy. And, you know, and of
course he'll have an arc and all that, an arc
to triumph, arc to Trump, all that stuff. You know,
he's kind of weird that way, but... It'll be gold-plated.
Those two general... missions, I think, are good. They're good.
And then probably, he probably, trust the plan, everybody, probably
has seen that this AI thing is going to blow
up, because he may not understand it, but he's not
stupid. He knows numbers. I'm sure he goes to Darius
at Anthropics and says, he's So, what's your profit? Well,
nothing. We're burning money, literally burning money on computer chips.
Well, okay, then let me fast track all of these
power plants, nuclear, gas-fired turbines. Well, that's going to be
great. So whether these data centers work out or not,
whether they get filled or not, whether they're used or
not, there's going to be a lot more power, a
lot of power. And power equals life and productivity. No
matter, I mean, that's just the basics of any economy.
Power. That's why the Chinese have done so well. They
have hydropower. They never went in on the green energy
scam. So they're just burning coal. They also have some
huge fusion magnet thing. I don't know if that'll ever
work, but it may just create a hole in the
universe. Don't you wish that that he would be some
concern about the midterms? Because look, you know, you get
the lefties back in there. Just think about Joey. He
stepped in. I'm shutting the pipeline pipeline down. All electric
cars. No, you know, they're crazy and they don't care
about productivity and jobs or anything. Just their their agenda.
Well, but this is—but, you know, there's not a pipeline
that you can—it's not an American president or American Congress's
business how the oil moves from the UAE and Saudi
Arabia. True. That's not his business. So, if anything— What
we're doing now by sitting there and shepherding, you know,
there's still 80 ships a day coming through, shepherding whoever
we want to come through. We're kind of helping all
these other countries create this alternative route. That's ultimately good
for everybody. You know, Congress is not going to stop
that. Okay, take the ships away by then. It's already,
Congress can't, if Congress wanted to stop this war, they
would just defund the War Department. The Dvorak and I
went through this, like Congress gets to declare a war.
You can declare all you want, but it's a commander
in chief who calls the shots. That's why they haven't
stopped it. They can't stop it. Every president has called
the war powers, a war powers resolution unconstitutional. And it
is. So what are they going to do? They're not
going to stop that. And, you know, back to the
steel example, what are they going to do? Just kill
all the jobs that were just created in the, in
the, in the, in the middle of the country? No.
So, yeah. And it's not what the... end result so
far has been is, I think, 18 servicemen and women
gave their lives in the Iranian thing. And I looked
this up the other day because I was curious. In
the same time period, 190 people have been murdered in
Chicago, where 18 service members sadly died over in Iran.
But When you kind of look at the cost of
everything and what is coming out of it, and if
you are going to be able to, you know, I
give Trump a little bit of credit for not going
in and just bombing him, bombing him, bombing him. He's
running this a little bit longer than a lot of
people would like. But the end result is their economy
is going to crap. They can't get oil out. And
once they're bypassed, their biggest card, we have the Strait
of Hormuz, kind of goes away. I wish instead of
saying, you know, 18... military men and women lost their
lives, I would just like to say these people were
heroes for securing our future. - Absolutely. - Then they
should be revered
and they should be remembered for help. But everyone's been
psyoped. It's like the right and the left. Endless war,
war of choice. No, every president has talked about this,
but no one did it. And now that Trump's 80,
he doesn't give a crap. You know what Joe Rogan
told me? When they had the, uh, uh, they had
the... the fight out on the White House lawn. Right,
the UFC thing. UFC, thank you. And, you know, there
was this, you know, some gang or whatever, they were
going to try and assassinate the president and kill people.
And Joe said that Trump said... I think Joe said,
aren't you afraid of getting taken out? And Trump said,
got to go sometime, Joe. Got to go sometime. I
can't be afraid of this stuff. That's your president. Right,
which is what you want. You've got to have somebody
who is able to stand on convictions and not... Have
the death threats and understand what may happen if he
pisses the wrong people off. Well, the problem is that
the only guy who actually tells you what's going on
is Besant. And he just talks like a, like a
dish rag, you know, it just, he's, he doesn't, and
Rubio, I don't know why Rubio doesn't just, someone has
to just say, this is the plan. I don't know
why they're not saying that. I'm sure there's reasons for
it. Or maybe fewer people understand it at all. But
to me, it seems so obvious. And, you know, it's
not like we don't have enough oil. It's just the
global price is set on markets. Whenever there's demand, the
supply always follows. I mean, there's always been enough oil.
It's just the price of it. That's the problem. Well,
yeah, we have enough oil. What was the last number,
like, for the next 600 years? So it's not like
there's a, oh, no, we're running out like we were
told decades ago. Peak oil, baby. I think it was
for coal. Uh-huh. They said, I think it was 600
for coal. Was that oil, really? I don't remember that,
but peak oil- During, I think it was 2009, during
this show. Peak oil. Oh, it's peak oil. Oh, no,
we're at peak oil. There's going to be no more
oil in the ground. That went on for years. Yes.
For years. Just like climate change. Still coming out of
the ground, too. Yeah. And so the hot job market
will be for steel workers and demolition guys to take
down all the unused AI data centers. Is that correct?
Well, maybe. I mean, I think that they can be
used as factory floors. They're probably useful for that. Yeah,
yeah. What about, are you any near the one that
Musk wants to build in Texas? It's going to be
100 million square feet? No, no. I really have a
hard time believing that this is actually going to take
place. I actually have a couple of MS Now clips
about data centers. Man on the street stuff, you know,
which is always good to pick from. Let me see
what this is. And then we have a cha-cha sauce,
too. It's a three-in-one sauce. You need to be a
television host. This is a guy with a food truck
in Detroit. That's your job. I think so. They're trying
to build a lot of data centers in Michigan. Do
you think it's going to be an issue that's central
to the politics here in the state? I do. Why?
Because people think that their bills are going to go
up and... It's a lot of... People are scared of
them. They are, and I'm afraid of them, too. What
scares you the most? The water usage and the prices
with the utilities. It's frightening to me. I'm in my
70s. Pretty soon I'll be sitting down doing nothing, and
I'd like to have the money to do it, and
I don't want a $200 water bill. And this is
an interesting psyop that's taking place about the water bill.
I don't think that is true. You know, these systems,
they take on water and then they recycle most of
it. Not all, but most of it. For sure, I
know from dude named Ben... Name Ben, do name Ben,
name Ben, the protector of megawatts, that a lot of
these data centers are definitely screwing around with the local
municipalities by setting up, you know, they kind of hide
behind their power generators that they're setting up. And so
they are passing on costs to the local community, but
I think that's temporary. And there's obviously a lot of,
you know, a lot of money changing hands to get
these things built. And, you know, we have a new
generation of farmers who are looking at how much work
it is to run a farm. Right, and how much
you can get for the land. How much you can
get for the land, exactly. And so people are being
told the most horrendous things. AI data centers, yeah, that's
where they do a lot of the AI, making the
AI stuff. Are you worried about it? Water. I am
worried about it. I'm very concerned about it. Yeah, because
I feel like when you cold press something, you need
water to do it or no? Well, I need water
to clean my stuff, you know, and wash my produce
and do all of that. There's no water in that
juice, though. She's in the food truck, too. I'm kind
of for them, you know, as long as they take
certain safeguards, you know, environmentally and noise pollution and all
that stuff. The residents who live out by the new
ones apparently don't think that's adequate enough. Yeah, they're not
happy about it. What's your name? Connie. bank honey it's
so nice to meet you that is a nice head
of cauliflower you got there guess how much it costs
how much this is detroit honey how much one buck
stop it i'm telling you one dollar cauliflower all right
so yeah But I think this is the gambit here
is get all of these. And there's these turbine. They're
using old jet engines, anything they can get. All GE
is sold out of power generating turbines through 2030. They're
sold out. So we're going to have power everywhere. I
really don't think they're going to be utilized, at least
not with the so-called artificial intelligence that we're seeing today,
you know, because the numbers just don't add up. But
that power generation is going to be fantastic. I stand
by this. And, you know, the president said, it was
kind of genius. Okay. I don't know if he came
up with it. But, you know, to say that these
are utilities, these will be local utilities. And I truly
believe that that is going to turn out to be
true. And it probably won't be powering these data centers,
but they'll make power very powerful. Maybe we use these
as factory floors. We start producing stuff here with nuclear
energy. There's, I think, eight small-medium reactors that are being
deployed all around the country now. This is the stuff
that was being held back for decades and decades. And
so now the... I don't know if you've been following
this, but this is such a bullcrap money sink that
they've got BlackRock and KKR and Blackstone and all the
big hedge funds. They're all raising half a trillion dollars
now. to build out data centers with NVIDIA leading the
charge. NVIDIA, the only profitable company in this entire mix.
And it's another form of the circular financing that's been
going on. Except now they've come up with a new,
a new, come up with a new one. um tokens
equals a commodity so you can invest in tokens now
no one knows exactly how they're made what each each
token is different uh what does it really cost to
make a token doesn't matter they are setting up not
the not the the 99-2000 bubble. They're setting up the
2008 crash is what's going on here. So Jensen Wong
calls AI infrastructure a new asset class. Do you agree
with that assessment? Well, we have spent so much money
already. On data centers on AI. Companies involved in AI,
their stock market valuations have soared in Nvidia itself, which,
of course, is a huge supplier of chips to the
artificial intelligence industry. has a market cap now more than
five trillion dollars uh unfortunately wall street has a tendency
to really get into excess mode and hype mode and
this is an example of that uh to be honest
It harks back to me about what wall street did
to push mortgage back securities leading up to the 2008
financial crisis when. Wall street firms literally vertically integrated to
be able to provide mortgages, right mortgages, and then finance
mortgages. package them up into mortgage-backed securities and sell them
off and keep some of what they couldn't sell on
their balance sheet and use that to finance their own
cash needs on a daily basis resulted in disaster as
we all know. So now we've got 500 billion dollars
Coming out of essentially the private credit market to finance
in videos, construction now of new data centers as if
there aren't already enough data centers. So, here's Larry Fink.
Now, the thing about Larry Fink is he runs BlackRock,
but whose money does BlackRock trade? It's our money. It's
our money. Yeah. He's, you know, the nine or $11
trillion, you know,
that he trades is from the United States of America.
We need to raise this money as fast as possible
and put this to work because I think it's really
imperative that the United States is the leader in AI
in the world. And I think we need to be
the leader in the disbursement of this technology around the
And I think this is why this is so critical
and I applaud what NVIDIA has done bringing all these
firms together and saying we have a common goal, we
need to raise $500 billion obviously that's an unprecedented amount
of money, but we're going to have to raise trillions
of dollars over the coming years. And I do believe
this is going to be representing a fantastic investment. In
fact, I think it's going to be such a large
investment over time. You're going to see more and more
allocation into this asset class. Jim talked about compute as
an asset class, but importantly, I look at the financing
of data centers This is the very beginning, like what
it was when I started in the mortgage-backed securities market
in the 1970s. And I look upon this as a
next future for financial engineering. These guys are amazing. They
literally just, oh, yeah, I was part of that mortgage-backed
securities. It was great. I started this great business. Fantastic.
But the thing is, they're building the data centers. It's
the power that I don't think is being built from
our money, BlackRock per se. You know, and BlackRock may
not be using our money. They're going to raise this
money, so they'll raise it from sovereign wealth funds and
all kinds of other places. But here's the numbers on
the power. What I'll just end with is that the
power... is what drives all of this. The access to
energy. Yes, the access to energy. And we need to
build more faster. And there is a financing system for
power. Like, it's not new what Jensen's doing with compute.
Compute will get to where power is. There is, but
it physically has to get underwritten. And, like, we have
14 nuclear plants plants that were in various stages of
construction today, and it will be another 40 with another
hundred coming. Oh, we're going to get them done. And
this is the first time in a long time that
market-driven forces can build out the sustainable energy necessary around
the world. This is incredible, without government funding, this is
all market-driven. We're building these ourselves, and they're going to
get built all across the United States. And remember, we
bought Westerners out of bankruptcy seven years ago. Nobody was
building a nuclear plant, and there's a renaissance going on
today in the United States, led by Westinghouse, that is
incredible, largely because it's carbon-free, it's baseload, and it's the
next energy that's coming. And that's what's going to be
great about this. And I see you see Brooklyn 112
in the troll room. Same Ponzi over and over. The
C stands for cynical. No, it's not a Ponzi. That's
real investment. And it's going to be great. I'm going
to be mining Bitcoin for one cent a kilowatt hour.
I can't wait. Power is going to go down. Yes,
it's going to drop dramatically. Well, especially when people don't
understand they're already the people that are working on these
AIs that are distilling models on their own. They're taking
these open source models and they're able to get nearly
the same accuracy now. With a much smaller model, which
takes much less electricity. Forget the chatbot nonsense, which is
a complete loss leader for these guys. I have a
Helix machine, GTX, whatever it's called, 64 gigabyte. I'm running
15 complete... Uh, robot radio stations on one machine, creating
the voices, uh, checking, uh, the promos with whisper, you
know, everything's going back and forth, which would cost $3,000
if you had to buy it from, uh, Anthropic, or
even if you use, you know, one of these. Outfits
like Together.ai, where you rent by the minute. Right. And
I'm running that at home on a relatively inexpensive machine.
And what is the format of these radio stations? Christian
contemporary music, baby. Interesting. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, you should
listen to what's... The CCM that's going on today, it's
like rock and roll. I mean, it's good stuff. You
got Brandon Lake, Jelly Roll. There's some country in there.
You know, it's good. And... The message makes you feel
good. Of course. With Jesus. Amen. It's working. Quick Larry
Fink question. I want to know how he's getting along
with the decline in DEI. Wasn't he like leading that
charge? Oh, yeah. No, he had to shut that down.
You know, it was Fink and those guys who set
up the whole scale industry. The whole, you know, you're
not investable unless you, what was the name of that?
What was it? Gosh, I remember that. I talked about
it on Rogan. What was that called? Hold on a
second. What was, you know what I should, what am
I even thinking? Where's the book of knowledge? Book of
knowledge should tell me. What was the DEI scale that
BlackRock and Larry Fink put into place that companies had
to adhere to? Let's see what the book of knowledge
says. I need to give you the book of knowledge
there. Okay. Here it comes. Will he get it? I
don't know. It's a little dusty. Haven't used it in
a while. I'm not so sure he's going to... Need
more electricity. I need a nuclear power plant. Right, in
the backyard. But you could do that in Texas. According
to the Book of Knowledge, the instrument wielded by Larry
Fink was not a DEI-specific scale of his own making.
But rather the broader ESG scoring system, a 0 to
10 scale mapped to MSCI ESG letter ratings, running from
AAA for leaders down to CCC for laggards, through which
BlackRock, as a shareholder, used its enormous leverage to... There
you go. There you go. The ESG score, that's what
it was. That was it. Yeah. But the push for
electricity is interesting, especially when they started throwing EVs at
everybody while the power grids were basically failing. So here's
your answer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and even Zuckerberg he sees
it coming he wrote a manifesto like a mass shooter
he wrote a manifesto well anybody is able to code
and do it right from their own home It's the
release of Muse Glimmer. It's accompanied by a 14-page essay.
The gayest name ever for a model. Muse Glimmer. Muse
Glimmer. It's the release of Muse Glimmer. It's accompanied by
a 14-page essay from Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg, where he lays
out his vision for the future of AI, and he's
saying it's to push to democratize the technology. now to
Chief Technology Correspondent for Axios, Ina Fried. So Ina, it's
a manifesto. Makes it seem like a huge deal. Manifesto.
What's in it? Well, he's trying to address a few
different things here. He's trying to counter the Doomerism first
and foremost. He's trying to paint an optimistic vision for
what AI is gonna bring. So the first thing he
really tries to do is contrast himself with the people
that are saying, this is something you need to worry
about. And so he goes point by point around the
environmental concerns, working with communities where there's data centers. talks
about cybersecurity and how AI can be a good thing.
He talks about jobs and how it's going to create
new entrepreneurial opportunities, even as it does perhaps get rid
of some of the traditional jobs that we're used to.
So that's one big point. The other is to say,
look, we're back in the game. Meta has been behind
in AI. They spent a fortune to bring in alexander
wang he's been leading an effort for around a year
ish now to kind of rebuild from the ground up
and they're saying look we have something worth checking out
and they're returning to open source and then the last
thing he wanted to do was push back a little
bit on the government yeah Because, you know, all these
companies like, oh, we need government. We need labels on
the on the gay eye. Well, they're begging for guardrails
and somebody else can make those hard decisions. Yes. A
moat, as we call it in the business. A moat.
We need a moat. So I think it's great. You
know, anyone who's messed around with some. I'm not a
coder. But I've built all kinds of fun stuff that
is useful that I'm selling to actual customers. And that's
what AI is good for, for things that have come
before. It is not good for things that haven't already
existed. I mean, if you're building something with packages with
code that have already been tested out, makes perfect sense
if you really go out of the box it's harder
for these things to look at what i built for
you it's amazing i mean i it took me 20
minutes i'm like hey i i got this i got
this uh soundboard and i have my clip set up
and i want darren to be able to access it
on the web boom It's like, it works. Yeah. Yeah.
Let's see. But people have done this before. People have
created soundboards not exactly in the same way. They've played,
put together play out systems. So anything that's been done
that it can access that code. I mean, the best
example is having a username and password login. It's used
on every
The code's already out there. The AI can implement that
code into your project. And it really is just like
making every little piece of code a puzzle piece. Well,
I think what's nice about it is you can streamline
your business. Oh, yeah. So, an example. So, I've been
doing this show with Pastor Jimmy called We Get to
Do This. I've been doing this for, we now have
45 episodes in. And, uh... You know, seeing as my
situation is changing and I'm being pushed out by two
other guys who are taking over the show. Yeah, well,
you know, I would say you're old, but Larry's older,
so we can't use that. It's like, I got to
do value for value. And, you know, and I said
to Tina, okay, you're back office. She's like, what? Yeah.
You know, what work and, and she, no, she doesn't
mind work, but you know, she's, she's good at writing
newsletters and doing that stuff. But you know, when you
have to pull in Stripe and, and, um, and PayPal
and donations. And so I just sat down and went,
okay, we're a little business here. Um, Robot, I call
all of my AIs robot, robot, make me a system
that pulls in the donations, makes it into a nice
spreadsheet, orders it this way, put the notes into it.
And, you know, the robot said, okay, I need some
API tokens. Okay, how do I do that? Click here,
click there. Okay, boff. Click, click, copy, paste. And then
it says, do you have a website? I said, no,
but you can put it on the, I got a
computer. Okay, I'll put it on this computer. And it
just built it. And I just type in donations, all
uppercase, and it brings it in and it's done. And
that saves money. a marriage yeah oh absolutely it's weight
in gold with these new enterprises will you be doing
any cookie stuffing like phoebe gates oh man i hope
so yeah don't do that no i love the cookie
stuff the stuff isn't that great yeah it's like here's
an affiliate program and i'm gonna steal your uh your
money yeah It's awesome. You've got to explain that. You've
got to explain what's going on with that. I don't
know if I can do it, but I think she's
probably going to do less time than Fauci. That's just
my bet. But they're saying she's up for perhaps 20
years. I don't see that happening. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
Fia, the AI shopping assistant co-founded by 23-year-old Phoebe Gates
and Sophie Kiani, allegedly used cookie stuffing to claim commissions
on sales that didn't drive. Or like honey. That was
the same deal with honey. Yeah, honey was the same
thing. So basically you take the affiliate cookies, browser cookies,
and then you just use them and so whenever someone
is buying something through that you hijack it. Yeah, it's
great. Yeah, America, baby. That's how we roll. She should
go to jail for sure. But that's the beauty of
these AI systems. You can pull in your spreadsheet from
PayPal or wherever and just go, you figure it out.
Okay, to round out this tech segment, both of you
are old enough to remember dial-up modems. Certainly. Okay. uh
larry what was the speed of the first modem you
ever used do you remember oh my god i'm gonna
say it was i think it was something in the
teens was it like 16 was it b-a-u-d did that
mean something no you're in the bods okay bods don't
count you were on bulletin boards trading porn no i'm
talking about to connect to the internet To connect to
the internet. I don't remember. I don't know. Do you
think 1200 baud sounds right? Maybe, maybe. Well, listen and
tell me if this sounds familiar to you. Okay. Oh
yeah, you've got mail! That was 1,200 baud per second.
Now, I'm sure you had a 2,400 baud. This is
what that sounded like. Oh, yeah, that's more like it,
with that little group in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I like that Bemrose is triggered. That's not hard to
do. All right. So these things eventually, so that was
24. Then we went... I think we might have had
48, then we had 96, then 14.4, 28.8, 33.6, then
we had 56KV.90. I don't know if anybody remembers this,
but here's what I want to test. Tell me the
speed of the following modem. Are you ready? Sure. *BEEP*
*Bell rings* 28 age. All right, what was the speed
of that modem? Not 28.8, was that faster? 28.8, you
nailed it, 28.8. I might write some lyrics to that.
I started with a 300-bought acoustic coupler. Ah, that sounded
like this. Here you go. Just very slow. Very slow.
But it was great because you actually had to put
the phone handset in and you could hear it. Into
the cradle. Into the cradle. I still have my TRS-100,
which is a laptop-sized device that had an eight-line LCD
display. And you could do, the journalists had this, you
could do, you could write documents and you could run
some basic programs and it had an acoustic coupler. and
which i also have and then later it had a
built-in modem and i think that was 300 baud and
you could dial into the newsroom that was way better
because with the acoustic couplers you couldn't even play your
music loud i mean it would screw everything up all
right here's the one that we probably all remember this
is the 56k *Bell rings* Ah, good times. Now I
wonder what game is really in there. I'm pretty surprised
you got the 28-8, Darren. That was pretty good. Hey,
when you've been using them as long, they all have
a distinct little sound to them. And there were wars.
Gosh, I wish John was here. There were wars with
different modem vendors. Like, no, no, no, you got, we
have the V. Hayes had their Hayes compatible. system and
US Robotics they came out with the V.92 I think
right where they were throwing like compression in to try
to make it faster oh yeah how often did you
upgrade your your modems Well, they stopped after a while.
No, they stopped. Wow. I think they went, didn't we
at one point have 112, but it was kind of
unreliable? Yeah, I never went to that. I went from
56 and then had AT&T at home came in with
one megabit down or 1.5 megabit down. Oh, man. Wait,
when was that? Oh, that had to be... What, 2000?
Oh, okay. No, I'm talking 90s. In the 90s, I
had a 56K frame relay dedicated line, which was cool.
Because you didn't have to dial up. It was just
on all the time. And there was no, you know,
no charge. But still, if you... ISPs at the time
got very angry if you stayed out all day and
all night. Mm-hmm. And then at a certain point, with
my company OnRamp, we had Molson Ice as a client.
And they had the Molson Ice Polar Beach Party. Remember
they had Polar Ice, Molson, Molson Ice, Polar Ice? And
so we built the website, which we easily charged $50,000
a month for. It was such a good time. Now
you just, Chad GPT, make a website. And we had
to do the prize for these winners today. was a
concert at the North Pole with Metallica, Veruca Salt, and
Hole with Courtney Love, three bands. And it was, it
took to Yuktuk, so the Northwestern territories, you know, we
were like a mile inside the Arctic Circle. And we
had sold, we said, we'll live stream it. Okay. Good
luck with that. Well, which of course the technology at
the time was see you, see me. And, and we
did have, we, we did have PCM streaming audio. So
you could at least get some streaming audio, but yeah.
How are we going to get the connectivity up there?
Right. And we built this thing called the road box.
And the road box was a flight case. And it
had, I think, 30 modems in it. So as long
as we could get, and it mucks them. And then
on the, at our office, we had a DMUX, so
we had, you know, 30 modems on the other end,
and so it would, you take these 30 modems, and
we were able to get phone lines, because there was
an oil drilling station up there, so we got the
phone lines, plugged them all in. And then, you know,
that combined created, I don't know, created enough, like probably
half a megabit or so in order
To stream the CUCME and the audio back to home
base. And it worked. It worked. That's crazy. 30 modems,
30 phone lines. And it somehow worked? And Lars was
a real wussy boy. He was complaining the whole trip.
Always complaining, complaining. Courtney Love was crazy. She didn't care.
She's like, I'm going to jump into the Arctic for
water here. That's great. Calm down, Courtney. Calm down. Yeah,
good times. It was a little chilly. Yeah, well, you
got to dip your toe into the North Pole water,
of course. It did that. And, you know, it was
daylight, 23 hours of the day. And we're up there
and, you know, there's no alcohol. It was a complete
dry village, Tuk-Tiuk-Tuk. Oh, no. No. And so it's like
11 at night and, you know, we're all we're all
out of our minds jet lagged and we're like, you
know, we've got to get some alcohol. And these kids
are riding their bikes around 11 at night. It's, you
know, it's broad daylight. Hey, kid, let me ask you
something. Oh, you want alcohol? That guy over there. Go
visit him over there. Yeah. Man, I'd forgotten that story.
That's why you're writing a book. Any evidence of UFOs
or the thing up there in the Arctic Circle? Nah,
nothing like that. No, nothing like that. Nothing like that.
And now, thanks to Elon, you just can get satellite
connectivity in broadcast. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, I've actually just
turned my, you know, we're tightening the belt here in
the hill country. It's like, do I really need this
$150 a month backup satellite thing, the Starlink? You can
put it on sleep mode for $10 a month. That's
not bad. We're supposed to be getting, they ran the
cables, finally getting fiber in October. So I'm counting down
the days. Yeah, no, we got, we got five gigabit
fiber here. It's fantastic. It's, uh, you know, it's part
of the, uh, rural broadband. So we're technically rural, and
so all of your government money that's supposed to go
to poor people in the middle of America is going
to the billionaires in Fredericksburg. Five gig up and down.
Oh, yeah, it's disgusting. But at least you have broadband.
That's all that matters. They can put it on the
map. I do. I'm running a server farm here, baby.
Another big scam. All of the rural broadband. That's, again,
follow the money if there is any. All right, what
else you got? What do we got? I got, let's
see, I have one from, this is always kind of
fun. There's a U.S. Air Force former secretary now suing
the government. Did you hear about this guy? No. No.
Yeah, his name is Frank Henry. And his security clearance
was pulled about, I don't know, eight months ago. And
so he's very, he's upset about that and he's suing
the government because, you know, he's entitled to that, I
guess. It comes as former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall
is speaking out for the first time here on Outfront
after the Trump administration revoked his security clearance over his
comments to media outlets about Trump's new Qatari-gifted Air Force
One. Frank Kendall is now Outfront, the former Air Force
Secretary and now author of Lethal Autonomy, the Future of
Warfare, Whether We Like It or Not. And Secretary Kendall,
I greatly appreciate your time, and I do want to
get your reaction to this Washington Post reporting, because it's
literally just crossing moments before you came on the air.
First though, I just have to ask you, you know,
your reaction. When you first see the post from the
Pentagon that states that you, former Air Force Secretary, have
lost your classified status, it's been revoked effective immediately. What
did you think and did you find out from that
post? Well, Aaron, it certainly made my weekend more interesting.
I found out about it. My wife and I were
at a cooking class. I'd given her for a couple's
cooking class. I'd given her as a gift for her
birthday. Stop. So our phones were off. Okay. Garrett, so
the guy's flogging a book. Let's remember that. Number one,
he's flogging a book. And it's probably the worst book
ever written because he's bloviating. Okay. Nobody cares about he
was at a cooking class when the call came in
saying your clearance has been pulled, you know, and the
guy goes on and on to to complain about this.
And so he's kind of in the O'Reilly League for
bloviating, I think. And so that's what he's mad about.
But here's what bugged me when I saw this. I
thought, you know, I was with a couple of Fortune
500 companies, and when the ride was over, it was,
give us your credit card. Your expense account is canceled.
Your email's been deleted. And thank you very much, and
maybe you'll see your pension in 20 years. You know,
that was it. But these government guys, I guess, They
consider, you know, it just keeps rolling on. And apparently,
having that security clearance entitles him to all kinds of
government consulting, advisory boards, and, you know, roles with defense
contractors. He can, you know, just pass the blather and
collect some nice checks for being an alleged wired-in expert,
you know. Well, yeah, because we're in the wrong business.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. then i checked about he said he's
going to sue them right so i saw a legal
thing that said the supreme court held in department of
the navy versus egan in 1988 that quote no one
has a right to a security clearance and the decisions
about access to classified information are committed to the executive
branch's broad discretion Now, do you normally keep security clearances
once you are retired? Apparently... A lot of these guys
do. And if you recall, I think Hillary was ticked
off when Trump pulled hers after he was elected. Yeah,
a whole bunch. Yeah, a whole bunch. Yeah, but she
didn't speak about suing anyone. This is new with this
guy. But that's part of the gig, is you keep
your security clearance so you're on all the cool email
lists and you use that and you're consulting. Yeah, that's
great. Yeah, yeah. Then you can go on Fox News
and MS Now and spew things and everybody gets a
little piece. Yeah. Are you guys going to bring someone
in on Sunday? We had Steve Jones just volunteered today,
which... Steve is great. He said he bought the whole
podfather, Mochu, Ari 320, so he said he's all set.
I have no idea how he sounds. I've never spoken
to him. He's been helping me for, man, I want
to say at least three years, maybe four years with
clips. He's the guy that got John's three-by-threes. Oh, really?
Yeah. Yeah, he would always do the three by threes
for John and he would pull the Sunday morning things
for me, you know, the early Sunday morning shows. Steve
is good. Well, of course, he might sound like Mickey
Mouse. We need processing and it'll be fine. I encourage
you guys to work with some of these no agenda
nation people. This is you know, we were creating a
kind of a new format with the show and I'm
liking what I'm hearing. I said I know he would
bring his own clips. I like it. That helps. Yeah.
He might have enough clips for everybody for the show.
Really? But he says, I'm like, he's pretty good at
it. He's pretty good at it. And get some women
in there. Where are the women? Hey, I put a
word out. I don't know if she got the message
yet, but dang, Jennifer, I was the first one Larry
and I thought of for, uh, sitting in. You know,
from animated, no agenda film. Yeah, absolutely. Adding a different
voice that, you know, has less testosterone might be. Yes,
she definitely. A preferred way to go. Yeah. A low
voice doesn't mean you have high testosterone. You both sound
pretty low T to me. Yeah, maybe it was very,
very, very tired. And that's probably all the mainstream media.
Yeah. It's those modems you fool around with. It'll get
to you though, right? You're watching this stuff all day
long. It tires you out. It's amazing. Because you can't
believe it is repeating itself over and over and over.
I've got one more here. This is a Julian Epstein,
no relation, I'm assuming. Yeah. He is a Clinton attorney.
He was the one that when Bill was going through
his little problem with Monica Lewinsky, I think he was
one of the attorneys. He was the attorney when Hillary
ran for president and his view of the current media
situation I thought was interesting. You rely on MSNBC for
news. I think you're basically illiterate and uninformed about what's
going on. I think that's somewhat, it's less true for
CNN, but also true. Julian Epstein, I'm a longtime Democrat.
I was formerly the chief counsel of the House Judiciary
Committee and the staff director of the House Oversight Committee
for the Democrats. Yeah. I'm the former CEO of the
consulting firm LMG, which represented, amongst other people, Hillary Clinton
for president. And a number of other Democrats. Mainstream media
is sort of covering the Democratic infighting and hinting at
the possibility of a civil war. We are in a
civil war right now. And I think the news media
is missing that. I know, saying the quiet parts out
loud. Really? What? Civil War, what? Democrats? No, they're all...
Just, Larry particularly, just love your neighbor. Love your enemies.
You know what, when you show them love, it's like
pouring hot coals on their head. It is... I've tried
this, it's really fun. Just love them. You know, my
route is this, Adam, I pull a ball cap low
on my head like some movie star. I put on
my mirrored sunglasses, put the buds in my ears.
Then I said moose on bark at anything, and I
walked down the street and no one ever speaks to
me, and I'm good with that. - Why are you
in Connecticut? That's a great question. That's not a great
question. Because he went from California to small steps. You
walked right into that one. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know
what happened? As you know, Los Angeles just went to
hell. and i wanted to leave and then suddenly i
found both my daughters were on the east coast and
my wife was kind of fond of this area she
used to come up here in the summertime as a
kid okay are you near armonk at all Well, I'm
probably 100 miles from that. That's IBM. Oh, okay. Oh,
you got a beach house. It's Larry in the beach
house. Nice. But he's in the basement because he was
afraid he was going to have people cutting the lawn
again. Oh, there's always somebody cutting a lawn, always. That's
suburbia, baby. That's how it works. That's suburbia, yeah. But
that's what I do. So, you know, that way I
don't have to interface with anyone. Okay, well, you're perfect
for podcasting. You're the perfect guy. Exactly. And I think
the news media is missing that, but I think more
importantly, they're missing the nature of the extremism that is
happening with the left, and they're missing the bigotry that
is emerging on the left scene critical race is basically
a permission slip for more bigotry is to divide. Most
important thing about them is race, and then to start
building public policy around that. That's what critical race is.
And now that they have embraced Islamic extremism, they have
gone one step further into a sectarian, set of beliefs.
And I don't think the news media is covering that.
And they should be covering that. I know, so surprising,
isn't it? Yeah. Well, but this is the ploy. This
is... We love... Pitting people, sides against each other in
America. That's what we do. And so this, that's exactly
where the political Islam is. That's the one. Everyone's only
looking at that issue, not looking at anything else. Right.
It's the whole distraction thing. It is the point. Yeah,
everybody just said this is going back to the weather
underground manifesto. Everybody, it's a black against white as people
against the cops. It's the rich against the poor. As
long as you are creating division, you can get away
with a lot more. And it's interesting when you're seeing
Democrats that are coming out with this. It shows there
is at least some kind of a fracture going on.
How big is it? I don't know. The distraction of
the week on the Woods agenda over there. Let's take
it over. Squirrel. Oh, we're doing a jingle off, are
we? Okay. We're doing nothing to see here. Ooh, look
at that. Uh-huh. That's fully into a zoo. I got
them all, man. I got them all. I got them
all at the ready. Can't wait. I wanted to play
this clip real quick. It's short. Because we were talking
about this on the show in, it must have been
2009, I'm going to say, maybe it was 2008. Dvorak
at the time said, it's never going to happen. It's
never going to go into, I got kicked out of
my house under eminent domain for this thing. and of
course I'm referring to the high-speed rail. The inspector general
for California high-speed rail says the project could run out
of money as soon as December 2027 is part of
the updated review of the project's revised 2026 business plan.
The inspector general says the plan still has major gaps
in information and violates California state law. The lack of
cash means the project could face a financial crisis unless
lawmakers and the governor address it by the end of
the legislative session the session closes at the end of
this month it's like 15 years and the thing goes
to bakersfield or something like that it goes nowhere goes
nowhere and I think there are already some insane amount
80, 90 billion in the hole on it and there's
been a little bit of like concrete superstructure built out
in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mud and and
I checked on this the first high speed rail was
built in Japan begun in 1956 I think it was
completed in like 1958 or 59 how about that it's
still running well now there's a third party that's doing
one from is it LA to Vegas oh yeah oh
please supposedly allegedly allegedly That's a five-hour drive, and it's
a rite of passage. It is. It should never be
done by train. You've got to drive it in your
rented convertible. Right. That's what you do. That's what you
do. Or your Tesla. It'll just drive you. I talked
to the back office. And Sir Paul Couture, who we
know from NoAgendaArtGenerator.com, has created a special memorial challenge coin.
of JCD. Very nice. And I can't wait for everybody
to see these. It is just an unbelievably beautiful coin.
I want him to get them numbered so you can
get a number. And we'll figure out how we're going
to do that. And then we also have, I think
we're going to do for people who complete their knighthood.
So if you're close, you'll like this. An order of
the ant. pin. That's cool. I like that. Are you
going to put in the little micro piezo speaker, whatever
they call that, that plays the goddamn... That'd be great.
Either that or a little lighter, because you've got to
torch them. You've got to torch them. So you guys
want to do donations? Is it that time? I haven't
kept track of the time. Do you have anything else,
Larry? If you want a quickie from our buddy Hassan
Piker. Oh, yeah. Well, why not end with a good
commie? Explain this guy to me. What's up with this
Hassan Piker guy? Yeah. You know, I'm trying to figure
that out myself, Adam, because he's really, he reminds me
of, remember this was a character named Destiny? He's kind
of a lefty, very lefty guy. And this is like
a larger version of him, but he's become way more
popular. I don't understand why, because he's completely negative. He's
got a very snotty sort of attitude all the time.
And like all commies, he is a fake commie, as
this clip will demonstrate. At what point does your very
expensive home stop being a basic human necessity and something
that essentially reinforces the very system that you're critiquing? I
don't think the purchases that you make necessarily, I mean,
if you're buying a private jet, it's a little different,
but I don't think the purchases that you make, as
long as you're... So, you hear that? You can buy
anything except a private jet. That's going too far. You
can buy a million-dollar house. Yes, you can buy Zuckerberg's
yacht. But what he's talking about here is this guy,
he has a $2.7 million house in West Hollywood, like
five bedrooms, baths, swimming pools, and so forth. Where does
he get that from? From doing what? Exactly. His podcast.
Well, he's an influencer. obviously. He's an influencer. Oh, man.
Yeah, yeah. I got to get me an Instagram account.
This is no good. It's crazy. If you go commie,
the money is there for some reason. I don't understand.
Exactly, yeah. And he should be giving it all away,
shouldn't he? Absolutely. Not using it to engage in capital
accumulation imply, you know, something less ethical than whatever purchase
they're making in general. I have a house. The reason
why it's so expensive is because it's in West Hollywood.
that's the West Hollywood yeah that's why that's good it'd
be even more expensive if it was in Beverly Hills
which is adjacent to that that's great that's why you
don't have to live there oh you gotta love that
that's funny good for him And West Hollywood is the
equivalent of the Castro in San Francisco. Lisa used to
be very, very gay. Socialism but at the same time
Is buying multi-million dollar homes And his exact words are
It's okay if I do it As long as you
don't do capital accumulation Well, capital accumulation Means that you
have a very large net worth Let's just see how
much he's worth If we look at his net worth,
we're looking at around an estimate of $20 to $35
million. To me, that seems like you're accumulating a pretty
large amount of capital. If we look at his income,
he's making $2.8 million in just a couple of years
from things like subscriptions and donations. And if we look
at how much does he actually make per year, according
to sources, it looks like he averages in the four
plus million dollar range in recent years. So that seems
to me like he is benefiting pretty well on the
capitalist system, yet he's pushing socialism. Yeah. Oh, he's Thanksgiving
and outlaw boomers. that's him too he's uh he's he's
chunk's uh nephew is he yes yes he got his
start ah he was at the young turks oh correct
yeah and by the way the name piker is also
a word and it means penny ante gambler so nice
Very nice. Yeah, I think that wraps it up. -
Yeah, you gotta go count me, man. - Yeah, you
have to.
Well, we should go commie, but I will start us
off with our donation segment here, because this is and
remains a value for value podcast. You got to support
the work if you want it to continue. Larry and
Darren also value for value on the show now, which
I really appreciate. Did you hear Chris Wilson's intro to
the donation segment the other day? I did not. Was
that Sunday? Because I dropped off after we were done.
Yes, it's just a quick little bit. Yeah, play it.
It's very Chris Wilson. This is your amygdala. Shut up,
son. This is the mainstream media. We are concerned about
the trouble and trying to be responsible. One-sided news stories
played in our country. This is your amygdala without no
agenda. Any questions? No questions. Oh, man. Oh, man. Well,
time, talent, and treasure is how you support the show,
your time and your talent. You can tell somebody about
the podcast, tell someone about the show. You can send
them boots on the ground report. That's how I got
my information about the podcast. about the power and the
GE turbines. We get these from our producers who are
right in the field, who know exactly what's going on.
You can do other things like create artwork for the
show, which I've not been involved in the selection for
the past shows. And I have to say, I thought
the last one that you guys chose for episode 1893,
titled En Banc, which the constitutional lawyer sent us a,
a mini war in peace. Yes. And I, it was,
maybe it was the formatting of the email, but I
was, I like, I, my eyes started to glaze over.
Did you guys get what he was saying? I kind
of, and then he had the PDFs of what it
was, um, But it was just, again, a case of
a literal swinging dick story, which was interesting. I don't
think I saw that email. Would expect nothing short of
that from the constitutional lawyer. From the constitutional lawyer. You
know, he hasn't... You got to look at his Instagram.
Okay. He's in boots and suits. Because he's, you know,
he's like, you got the... You got the big guys
who just want to settle quick. And you got us.
He's got his cowboy hat on. He's got his boots
on. And we'll go for the top money. Have you
been hurt on the job? Call us. Boots and suits.
Yeah. So Scaramanga did this one. Yes. Yeah. And I've
kind of missed the conversation about the guy who wants
to be in the WNBA. What's his name? There were
several... And as freedom guy, then there was there was
a couple of them at least. And then it seemed
like there may have been more. And it was basically
trying to make the WNBA make a rule that says
dudes can't play. But of course, they're. Not doing it.
No, I think this is great. This is almost like
the shop teacher who was wearing the huge fake boobs.
Remember that? Yeah, it's in Wisconsin. Yeah. I was insistent
that both... Darren and Adam apply as well. Imagine how
famous you'd both be. We got the height. Both six
foot five. You're tall enough, right? So just demand that.
Come on. Yes. Yes. Okay. Thanks. We're starting the Podcaster
Basketball League. Yeah. I have to move to San Antonio.
Play for the Spurs. But the Saks. I mean, that...
Right there. Go for the joke. That's what we learned
from the art. It was good. You can JCD always
go for the joke and that sold it. The team
name being the sacks. And in a fun way, it
was, uh, uh, you know, it was John's favorite kind
of, uh, kind of art. Yeah. Yeah, the little cheesecake.
Cheesecake. Just a different, maybe a little different cheesecake. Cheesecake
with a 10 o'clock shadow. I would say he's rolling
over. He would probably say, this is grotesque. We can't
use this. He might. Yeah. He might not be wrong.
scaramanga good job man do it do you guys review
the uh the other arts we both really like the
capitalist agenda honoring jcd but it was too small for
album art but we both agreed it would be nice
as a print with the diner setting the classic uh
um blanking on the artist name that did it looking
into the diner at night i was edwin hopper style
that classic uh you know it's usually bogart maryl monroe
and you know it's been reconfigured a thousand ways look
oh i see it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah it
was too small too small too small I like the
Etch-a-Sketch a lot, but not... The Etch-a-Sketch is great. I
think Jay used it in the newsletter. She did. I
think it's a cool image. Yeah, it's the official no
agenda phone. Also Capital Agenda. So he's doing good work.
And you know what? Once JCD was gone, the real
artist came back. Coincidence? I think not. They didn't like
to be. I'd be rated. Be rated. Be rated. Something
up with that. Something up with that. Hey, I'm telling
you. Of course. Some of the days JCD really ripped
into me were the days he was like, hey, can
you make me some art? Oh, yeah, I'm sure. I'm
sure. I'm sure. Like, it's a bit. Come on. We
got good support today. I'm really grateful for people who
understand that if you want the show to continue, and
now there's, you know, we're sharing this with Larry and
Darren. So there's now... Four families and 18 children, depending
on your support of the No Agenda Show. And we
thank Randy Filkins from Wellsburg, West Virginia, who comes in,
boom, with $1,000 plus fees, $1,052.62. And he has a
prayer. Heavenly Father, I pray you place your hand on
the hearts of JCD's family and friends and guide them
through their pain and loss. Amen. Thank you, Randy. That
is very, very kind of you. Wow. And that helps.
It does. We've been doing a lot of praying for
JCD, a lot of praying for the family, praying for
other families as well, like Horowitz, Horowitz. You know, it's
been a big loss for Horowitz. Their show was going
on almost as long as No Agenda. You know, and,
and I know because, you know, Horowitz is calling a
couple of times a week, Brunetti's calling a couple of
times a week. These, you know, they had real relationships
with John that went beyond my, I probably talked to
John longer on a weekly basis, but they talked to
him often. Yeah, it's a different dynamic, and it's for
Horowitz, it's like, JCD is not replaceable. Somebody said, oh,
it took at least two guys to replace JCD, and
yeah, it probably could be three or four or more.
And that's the thing, it's like, my grieving is not
just for John, the show. I mean... it was we
had a performance together yeah you know like Laurel and
Hardy Lucy and Ricky We were more like Fred and
Ethel, probably. I mean, there were people, again, nothing was
better than JCD being silent for way too long and
then moving on. That was just okay. Well, yeah, at
the end there, he would go, maybe. Maybe. I'm like,
why does maybe, what is maybe, you can't give me
a maybe, there's no maybes in podcast discussions. I love
those broad pauses followed by, okay. Yeah. It's like, if
you want to, if you want to just cut somebody
down, do that. It shows deep contemplation, that's a... using
the silence. It's an art form. Only some can do
it. Next, we have Baronet Surplus to Requirement. Came in
from Indy Atlantic, Florida with 388.88 and says, rest easy,
JCD. You are a legend. Condolences to all. Keep your
chin up sincerely, Baron Surplus to Requirement. Larry, do you
do these at all? I sure do. I sure do.
He looks pretty. That's all. I mean, he's good at
looking pretty. I'm just here for my looks. This is
a Karen B, 33888. Note, see attached, not page two.
Where's that attachment? What was that? what does it say
here when Wiffent Wiffent who when because there was a
PDF of the when I here when I first saw
the picture this is Karen B when I I got
it here When I first saw the picture of John
in the newsletter with his real age, I was taken
aback, given his great voice, wonderful humor, and... Spinnaker? No,
that's probably not it. I can't understand. I don't know
what that word is. I was going with... Oh, spryness.
I was going with 65 years old. I first came
to no agenda during COVID. It helped to maintain my
sanity. I've always... enjoyed the show because there is no
hidden agenda hidden in parens there the best it was
when john and adam were bantering back and forth john
will be greatly missed my deepest sympathy to mimi and
the family and adam from caranby thank you karen with
a 300 338 dollars and 88 cents Then Clint Misenal,
sorry about this, Misenal Saul, Eugene, Oregon, with 333.33 and
no note. Thank you. We have next Paul from Fort
Atkinson, Wisconsin.
Johnson 333.33 oh my lord my lord again says another
attached note page three hmm where is this page three
i'm not seeing it I got it. I'm sorry, I
had a PDF. I thought there was only one. I
must have missed the two and three. Yeah, no, I
got it here. Noah Jen has been a steadfast companion
since discovering the show in 2023. John's entertaining brand of
wit and wisdom will be missed. Godspeed, Dvorak Clan. NPR

I can't wait to try it. That's a perk of
being a no agenda podcaster. And I have it on
good authority. It was the last thing John had in
his mouth. So now we know Sinatra last had a
grilled cheese sandwich and Dvorak had honey. That's all you
know. Manuka gold. That's right. 2-3-4-5-6 from ENJ Electric in
Colorado Springs. I wonder what they do. Well, first they
say, happy anniversary, Mimi and John. This is a holdover,
of course. Thank you, Darren and Larry, for stepping up
to the plate. It's good to hear you on the
show again, Adam. Like others have shared, John and Adam
have helped to shape my worldview over the years. I'm
one of those that has occasionally shut off all news
except for the best podcast in the universe. I know
the show will never be the same without John, but
as long as there is no agenda, I'll be here
listening in my truck as I roll out of the
garage every morning. Well, I guess he's an electrician. Looking
to work with anyone in or around Colorado Springs, find
my Google page at ENJElectric, that's the letters, ENJElectric.com. Shoot

Hillary. No, that's the one. That was Pelosi. Jobs. Yeah,
it's Pelosi. It's Pelosi. That's the right one. That's Pelosi?
Really? Sounds like Hillary. No, it's Pelosi and karma. You
did it. You did it right, man. You nailed it.
Woo! Dame Lisa, Amick Lake, 188.88. I'll do a couple
here. Kevin Redacted from Mommel, Arizona. No, Arkansas, sorry. 105.88.

love from our family to yours. David Oliver, Calistoga, California,
$100. Best of the No Agenda team, Larry slash Darren
crushed it. I'll sneak over to Planet Rage. Are you
guys doing Planet Rage while you're doing the show? It's
dead. It's dead. It's dead. Just point your feed to
No Agenda. That's fine. It's been a few weeks. When
we really need to swear, there'll be a Planet Rage
episode as a bonus. Josh Corby, Euless, Texas, 100. Thank
you for your service. Sir Skibbity, $100. Please wish my
sons Jens Mathry... think it is. Happy 20th birthday, celebrated
yesterday on the 12th, from Michelle and Sir Skibity. If
Adam has any hot tips about Jen's testing for his
fixed wing pilot's license in a few weeks, That would
be a bonus. I would say it's for his future
knighthood, but really it's an investment into the continued operation
of both No Agenda and DH Unplugged. Thank you for
your courage and ITM, Sir Skibbidi. Yes, here's the advice.
Don't sweat it because the examiner knows that. that your
pilot's license is really just a license to learn. Don't,
don't think you have to be perfect. When I did
my, I have got my helicopter first and I did
my fixed wing, I bounced all the way in. I
mean, it was, it was a mess and it's okay
because the examiner knows. You know, you're not going to
be flying alone anytime soon in your own airplane because
someone has to sign off on you, even flying in
a rented aircraft. So it's a license to learn. You'll
be fine. Don't sweat it. And they need pilots, so
that's not a bad thing to do. They do. They
do. Keith R. Johnson coming in with $100 from Arlington,
New York, says, Darren and Larry, thanks for filling in
and giving Adam a break. You guys did great. Happy
anniversary. Mimi, our thoughts are with you and your family.

San Rafael, California rounds us out for the treasure portion
of the value for value, time, talent, and treasure. We
thank you all so very much for supporting the show.
Thank you. It means a lot, and you don't want
to be a douchebag for another one of us to
drop dead. Because so many people felt so bad about
not donating before John passed. It was unbelievable. Everybody always
thinks there's more time. Yeah, there never is. Hey, do
we do a troll count? Um, I didn't, actually. Let
me take a look. Do you have the troll count?
Oh, there we go. Let me take a look. Let
me see what the max was. We had 845 trolls.
peak trollage. JCD would not be happy with that number.
No, he would not be. But, you know, I have
a feeling this will just take some time. People will
get used to it. We still make an outstanding product.
And my favorite complaint now is Larry and Darren's voice
sound to radio. Oh, there's a lot of that. I
got one, this one lady. She's like, they're no good.
First of all, they're no good. She's not wrong. And...
and of course I should do the show with Mimi
it always starts with that and I don't know about
that Larry guy he seems very dark I don't think
he's good you should probably stay away from him she's
right on all counts very dark there's something very dark
about that Larry guy yeah I enjoy you guys I
enjoy listening to you I mean I I may not
be on the show the whole time, but I enjoy
listening to you. Well, that is appreciated. We're glad to
know that. It's cathartic for me. It really is. There
was one makeup jingle as well from Night of Sandy
Ridge. I guess it was from 1889. Yeah. I've got
Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind. I've got Pabst Blue
Ribbon on my mind. Wow. Now there's a callback. It's
become quite the thing. People are sending you hats now
in case you hadn't received it. Oh, man, that was
a great... And John got irked by it at the
end. He was mad. Really? Stop it with the Pat's
Blue Ribbon. Well, then stop opening your soda can on
the air. Right. I mean, you can do it away
from the microphone. It was a good bit, though. Theater
of the mind. It was a good bit. You know,
I just want to... Just a little callback. Yeah. I
really love what, who did the opening, the opener? Jess.
No, no, not Jess. Jess Baker. Jess Baker. Jess Baker.
Jess Baker. I was getting around to it. Jess Booger.
Jess Baker. Excellent, but it's not really a jingle. You
need the opening music in there. People should be sending
it. Did you get the stuff from Sir Brian with
an I? No. I forwarded it to you. I thought
I sent it to you. No, this should be a
contest. Create the opening. Oh, there were two that were
very AI-ish. Maybe that was the only sentence. Yeah, that
was the problem. They were very AI-ish. I mean, and
just Baker does that. He knows what he's doing with
AI. That guy knows what he's doing. Yeah, that was
good. I like the sound of it. We just needed
a little more extended so we can do a proper
intro. But if other people, like I said, we're not...
to this quite as of yet, so throw your hat
in. You can have that to your IMDb page. Created
the theme for... The No Agenda Show. Hmm. So, noagendadonations.com,
that's where you can support the show. I don't have
the meetups. I do have the birthdays. I'll do the
birthdays real quick. It's just Yeah, we have Sir Skibbity
and Michelle wishing their son Jens Mathry, I believe, a
very happy birthday, celebrated his 20th yesterday. And Donna Walters
wishes her son Ryan a happy birthday. He turned 40
on the 11th. Happy birthday from everybody here at the
best podcast in the universe. It's your birthday, yeah Right.
Who's going to do meetups? Well, we have two meetup
reports. The first one, of course. Wait, you don't have
the jingle? You don't have the meetup jingle? Oh, right
here. There we go. Agenda. Meetups. Meetups. Stay on the
ball. Come on, Darren. Stay on the ball. It is
like a party. Indeed. It is like a party. I
got to get a touch screen, which would make it
easier, too, than having the mouse go over it. You
need a second eye. That would help. Yes, that would
also help very much. They keep telling me they're close
with being, you know, the stem cells or something else
being able to... regrow retinal tissue, which is what I
need. Do you mind if I ask about this? Can
I ask you a few questions? Sure. Did you have
eyesight in both eyes previously to degenerate over time, or
were you born with this? No, it was a retinal
detachment that happened about 10 years ago, and the first
surgeon could not... get it to stay up so it
went through multiple surgeries and by the time I got
the surgeon that was able to have the retina stay
up it is so scarred there's really no vision just
yeah it sucks especially considering I was sitting in the
first guy's office And he was like, well, we don't
have your referral yet because it was still just a
terror at that point, but without being a full detachment,
which probably could have been fixed with laser. But he's
like, well, no, we need the we need the referral.
So come back tomorrow. But didn't really have until tomorrow.
Oh, so you've been living off the money of a
lawsuit? You should call Rob the constitutional lawyer. I think
you can get some money out of this deal. Maybe.
This is no good. Maybe. It sounds like you're a
victim of incompetence, Darren. Yes, I agree. I think there's
a lawsuit here. Kind of, because when they went to
do the surgery, the surgeon that I finally got that
I trust, He had to request a special tool, you
know, basically they're sticking these things in your eye to
get to the back of the retina. He's like, because
your eye is so big, he needed a special large
tool. I'm like, well, I never heard this from the
other guy. Could he keep his large tool up? Maybe
the other guy couldn't. Right. That's exactly what it is.
That way you keep the eyes, you know, functioning. It's
a much preferred way to go. Yeah. So I just
close one eye a lot. Okay. But is it all
gunky and weird looking? Yeah. It's getting there because there
was oil in there, which is what kept the retina
up. And since there was no vision, he's like, well,
we could take the oil out, but that's another surgery.
It's not going to hurt you. And after a certain
amount of years, it started scarring the cornea. Wait a
minute. Tell me you wear an eye patch. No, I
really should.
Eyepatch is cool, man. You're 6'5", eyepatch, you know, you'll
scare little children. I'm just saying, if it were me,
I'd be wearing an eyepatch. You know, I have a
friend, and she lost her eye many years ago. And
she just pops it out. In fact, she went back
to her... her um college reunion and they were doing
like you know running around you know the old sorority
sisters like running around with uh beer across an obstacle
course or something and she tripped and fell and her
eye popped out i mean awesome just awesome nobody's gonna
forget that no no eyepatch eyepatch is what i'm saying
and talk like a pirate right yeah i wear the
eyepatch i'll everybody will know if we when they do
a meetup who would who the guy with the eyepatch
yes yeah Nice. But really, I remember the greatest thing
about that whole thing was sending in the no agenda
note afterwards and Dvorak reading it. And you could tell
he was uncomfortable with the whole sticking needles in the
eye and. And I was face down for like 12
weeks. Oh, that's right. I remember that. Yeah. Oh, man.
Yeah. And that was the worst part. I mean, because
if they would have just said, no, your eyes screwed
up. I mean, I could have saved 12 weeks. If
still don't have vision, you may as well just have
let it go. It was like 12 weeks of being
face down for really no payoff at the end, which.
Wow. Wow. which kind of sucked yeah so donate to
the one-eyed podcast jcd would be like don't let this
opportunity go hello you you can call it the patch
cast right there you go yeah i like that how
about there were a few more meetups here including the
fort lauderdale 8 8 2026 jcd tribute This, of course,
Andrew Horowitz, and you can play this. I haven't heard
this yet. In the morning, everybody, this is Scott Alt
from the Winning the Week podcast. And I just want
to say we're having a good time over here at
the Fort Lauderdale meetup. In memory of John, there will
never be another one. And I wish you guys were
here with us, but you're not. So we're going to
have fun without you. in the morning a hundred dollar
Eric just want to thank you guys for setting us
up we really appreciate and we're with you guys on
everything you're going to go forward with thank you for
all the history In the morning, my name is Juliana,
I'm here to celebrate John and everything he's given me.
I consider John my friend and Adam and also Andrew.
Everybody, thank you for inviting me to your lives. Thank
you. Hi, I'm Hans Mathry, Sir Skibbity. Sir Skibbity! And
I've listened to both the shows for ages. And I
really miss John, and I hope everybody's doing well. Thanks
for all the podcasts. I'm Clay Basweiss, I'm from Miami,
Sir Basweiss, and I started listening to John in 2008
and I listened to Agenda back then and it was
terrible. Well, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's not the way
to do a meetup report. No, it's great. It's great.
Roll it. Roll it. Didn't listen again until 2012. Then
it is a lot better. So I do miss John.
The last 18 years giving me advice via podcast. So
John, we miss a lot. And all the respect and
love to his family for everything. For giving us so
much of John's time. I always miss you too, Adam.
All right. Thank you. Yeah, my name is Ken. I
discovered the No Agenda show through Joe Rogan, actually, right
after or right during the pandemic. And John was somebody
that I just enjoyed his voice hearing it. And he
was always, to me, a voice of reason. I also
had a lot of affection for him because he's from
California and I'm from California originally and you know I'm
gonna miss him a lot and I hope he took
that last Amtrak Zephyr train to the next world so
God bless him and may he rest in peace. Alright,
you got it. Paul Barron, I've been listening to Andrew
and John for, gosh, many years. Actually, John and I
go way back even pre and actually when I found
that John was doing a podcast with Andrew, I didn't
know Andrew, but I knew John from the old days
of Silicon Valley. And, of course, a lot of his
work with PC Magazine and had followed him around. And,
of course, found Andrew and then realized he lived in
my hometown. That was how we all kind of got
together. So that's kind of been my... My history, I
guess it's probably been about 10 years. I know the
DH Unplugged podcast is one of the oldest ones out
there, so it's been a while since they got going.
Gosh, I think even the first time I had listened
to John, it was when he was with Leo Laporte
over on Twit. And that was probably 15 years ago,
so it's been quite a while. Listening to him on
DH Unplugged. I'm Chris Marble. I've been listening to No
Agenda since 2020 and to DH Unplugged for about five
and a half years. What do you miss about Joe?
I mean, everything. I feel like he's my grumpy spirit
animal and... his alternate way of looking at everything on
planet Earth is going to be missed a lot, for
sure. Hi, my name is Leslie Wilbur. I've been listening
to No Agenda since about 2021, and I'm from Lotsahatchee,
Florida, and I'm so excited that we're meeting here. And
John, I'm going to miss you so much. i think
what i'm gonna miss most is you saying bullcrap hey
it's uh andrew and jill and jill and we're here
at the nadhu meetup for jcd a lot of acronyms
and symbolized terms right there but it's wonderful to have
everybody here it's wonderful for this great day to honor
such a great man and um all that he has
meant to us and uh mimi the gang jay and
jc and everybody i want to say hello and let
you know that we're thinking about you a lot of
people right here thinking about you as well so we
send all of our deepest condolences and send a lot
of love and healing prayers to the family oh sweet
Jill Andrew's wife yeah And JCD will always be around
in audio clips. Do you find that weird that, you
know, your voice is going to go on because of
doing as much content as you have over the years?
No, I love that. I love that. That's longevity. You
know, they used to say people who write will live
on forever. Right. Right. There's going to be our voices
on CD-ROMs for generations to come, USB sticks, all kinds
of stuff. I think it's great. I hope someone finds
it. There's so many copies, which is always our idea.
Copy it. Put it anywhere you want. Make sure it's
out there. you might learn something you might might not
yeah i've always been into the old time radio stuff
so it's like this is the same thing in a
hundred years people might find this and say, wow, you
guys were screwed up. Yeah, exactly. We also have a
second brief meetup report, this one from Springfield, Missouri. Hey,

sounds weird. Wow. Okay, your Mac is crapping out. Your
Mac is just done, but that is the first. The
curse of the Mac. Here, I got you. I'm going
to refresh that page much better. Sometimes you want to
go hang out with all the nights and days. Sometimes
you want to go hang out with all the nights
and days. You want to be where you won't be,
triggered or held or lame You want to be where
everybody feels the same Party. That's weird. Macs never have
audio problems. Until now. That's why I got off a
Mac, man, for that very reason. No problem until it
is. I got a couple of ISOs here sent in
by the clip machine. Keep the vaccines away from me,
dude. Oh, that's fitting for today's show That it is
By the way, you know that study about the miscarriages?
Yes So we figured that out, that it was really
high And this was early on, I think, when the
study came out And I remember talking about it and
I got so much flack. You don't know what you're
talking about. It's bullcrap. That's not true. It's not blah,
blah, blah. And I had the exact same calculations. And
I'm like, wait a minute. Look at who is miscarrying
and at what term. And then it was probably a
year later when people started to say, oh, yeah, I
guess you were right. It was a was a show
deconstruction back in the covid years. And it was right.
Johnson is getting no attention for doing nothing will happen
about you. No, no, no. And you also understood lying
with statistics. And that's exactly what we if we make
it all trimesters, it seems like a much lower number,
even though we know they're all in. The same third
trimester. Unbelievable. Organoids are alive. Going to the well. Beautiful.
And then, let's see. I mean, I thought I had
clipped just the here, the... I've got Pat's blue ring
on. So one of those. Uh... larry go ahead you

in, everybody, so. It's like the famous. The Pabst Blue
Ribbon, of course. Okay. Yeah, I agree. It's a good
one. In honor of JCD, of course, with real, it
was probably with real JCD can opening. Probably. It's not
that liquid death stuff you drink. No. So we've got
that. Oh, I guess. Let's see if the audio still
works now. Duh. It's working now. Who knows what anger
lurks in the heart of an Apple machine? Yes. That
is going to do it for another edition of the
