There's going to be a lot of pink eye, let's put it that way.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, July 18, 2024.
This is your award-winning GiveOnAsian Media assassination episode 1678.
This is No Agenda.
Cleansing your polluted amygdala.
And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number 76.
6, In the Morning, everybody!
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where Taranufuji is back, undefeated, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
In the Morning!
Nailed it.
Only, only you could give us some sumo headlines at the start of a show on a day like this.
Only you John Seymour.
I could have said J.D.
Vance, the nerded one.
Wait!
Breaking!
Breaking!
Phil, stand by.
We're going to get back to you soon.
But there's some breaking news emerging right now.
What I'm going to see is Kayla Tausche.
She's on the scene for us.
Kayla, the President of the United States, was about to speak, but something has gone on.
We've just gotten new information.
Tell us about that.
Well, President Biden has just tested positive for COVID.
That, according to the President of Unidos, the leader of the- No, he tested positive for COVID, and it gets worse!
Now, the President has received probably at least five doses of vaccine as a lot of us have.
Wait for it!
Oh no!
Oh no!
No mask!
And that has really, you know, all those elements serve to increase his immunity.
Plus, you know, we also have PaxLivid now.
And we've already heard that he's going to take a dose of that.
Dr. Reiner, we're seeing live pictures of the president boarding Air Force One right now.
And what jumped out at me, and I'm sure to others as well, I didn't see him wearing a mask as he was with those other people.
No mask.
Oh, no.
Breaking!
Breaking!
But remember everybody, it's safe and effective.
President Joe Biden slowly making his way off Air Force One in Delaware Wednesday night.
This is one of the first images of the president we've seen since confirmation came in that he tested positive for COVID-19.
So I think Biden being sick is a big deal, but I don't think he's going to suffer any real consequences from this because it is a manageable disease, even in the older population.
That's Stanford's Dr. Yvonne Maldonado.
That's not right!
Wait for it!
Someone who has tested positive for COVID.
The president's press secretary says Biden will self-isolate in the days to come.
He did eventually put a mask on after getting into his awaiting SUV.
Biden's medical team says he has been vaccinated and has all of his current annual booster doses.
All of them.
Maldonado says that is important.
That is important.
He's had all his booster shots.
He's wearing a mask.
He's still got COVID.
It's unbelievable how safe and effective it really is.
It's amazing.
I didn't make the clip of it, but Gutfeld had kind of an, I don't know, probably a sketchy joke where he said, when he announced it on this show, he says, well, there's another shot that didn't work.
And I think this came right after he announced that he would only, only, only, only really give up if he had some kind of medical emergency.
Yes.
How cool.
There's one report that I have from NPR that Biden has COVID clip and there's a little factoid at the end of this which they've left out of all these other reports.
President Biden campaigning in Nevada left early today.
That's after confirmation from the president's doctor.
The 81-year-old president has tested positive for COVID.
Mild!
Yeah, mild!
He has no problem, but I think this is the clip where they're trying to get rid of him and then I think this is it.
Rehoboth, Delaware.
Biden's doctor says the president's symptoms are mild.
Mild.
Yeah, mild.
He has no problem.
But I think this is the clip where they're trying to get rid of him.
And then I think this is it.
I'm not sure if the way he says, only if I have some medical problems.
The pressure from Democratic leaders for Biden to get out of the race is intensifying.
In fact, one person who has been out there publicly defending Biden told me just a short while ago, Biden is going to see the whole house of cards come down soon.
As for that meeting in Rehoboth, Delaware, I am told that this was a one-on-one meeting, just the Senate leader and the president, and that Chuck Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be better for Biden, better for the Democratic Party, and better for the country if he were to bow out of the race.
And David, when I went to Schumer's office to ask them, to tell them I was going to report this and tell you this tonight, absolutely no denial from Senator Schumer's office.
They only said this.
Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus.
In other words, the views of Democratic Senators.
I am also told that Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, has expressed similar views directly to the President.
Hey Joe, let me show you my caucus.
Let me show you this.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe we can spin this, ladies and gentlemen.
Maybe we can spin this in a positive direction.
Joy Reid, help us!
These two men are both elderly.
Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take an iconic photo op during an active shooter situation.
Weird situation, we'll figure that out one day.
But his survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength.
This current president of the United States is 81 years old and has COVID.
Should he be fine in a couple of days?
Doesn't that convey exactly the same thing?
That he's strong enough, older than Trump, to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age.
So if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn't that exactly the same?
It should.
I mean, it's not exactly the same.
It's not the same incident, but it's an elderly man coming through out of an illness.
It should.
Take her off the air.
What a nincompoop.
It's exactly the same.
I mean, it's not exactly the same.
Yeah, getting shots, exactly the same.
It's exactly the same.
Word on the street, I have from reliable sources, Biden will step down tonight.
Tonight!
Tonight!
This is what I'm hearing, and it kind of goes along with this news, and I believe this is the, uh, the Biden won't quit until he's sick quit.
The Democratic National Committee announces it's shelving an effort to make Biden's nomination official by the end of July through a virtual roll call vote.
The DNC Rules Committee now announcing no virtual voting will begin before August 1.
The move perhaps intended to buy more time to convince Biden to drop out of the race.
Sources telling ABC News it came at the urging of the two most powerful Democrats in Congress, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
So far, Biden resisting all entreaties to drop out of the race, but he has had words of praise for his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
By the way, She's not only a great vice president, she could be president of the United States.
In an interview with BET, Biden did say a doctor's recommendation could sway him.
I'm sure he has some medical condition in him, Hearst.
If somebody, if the doctors came to me and said, you got this problem, that problem.
Ah, there's your out!
I don't know, I think... Well, I don't think he wants an out.
No, but did you see him going into and getting out of the plane?
That is not a grown man.
Oh, he could barely get up the stairs and it was the short little boy's steps.
It wasn't the big, you know, they don't roll that out for him anymore, the big stairway.
No.
Now, I'm just telling you, I heard from reasonably good inside sources Microdot guys?
No.
Close, though.
Here in the Hill Country, yes, the word is he's stepping down.
This comes from Trump Associates, so who knows.
Well, tonight would be timed because Trump gives his speech tonight.
Yeah, so they could ruin the coverage.
So it would make logical sense to do it if you're going to do it at all.
But I don't believe that.
I don't think it's going to happen.
And they keep bringing up this August 1st thing.
One of the early tweets that was taken down after the Trump shooting was, don't worry, Trump's going to be dead by August 1st.
I think that was in one of the newsletters I sent out.
It still had that tweet on it.
So we have to wait until August 1st?
Is that the idea?
Well, I think that if they're planning to try to kill him again... Oh man.
I'd say that August 1st is one of the dates that has been set up, so why would you throw in the towel today?
It doesn't make sense.
Well, I mean, clearly he didn't have to say, oh, I got COVID, I'm going home.
That was not necessary.
His symptoms are mild, isn't it?
He wasn't wearing a mask.
It's a hoax.
It's a reason, maybe he just doesn't like Latinos.
Maybe he doesn't like Latinos because they're turning on him, A. And maybe he's pooped.
He himself talked about the schedule he's been on.
I want to run through a couple of bad takes, bad assassination takes that cropped up in the media.
And some of it was thwarted or combated by the blue team.
We started by the blue team.
CNN, basically.
CNN.
Axelrod does this on CNN.
This is Obama's guy.
You know, the reality is that there are things you can't erase.
I mean, we all remember January 6th.
We remember the president's rhetoric then.
Just a few weeks ago he retweeted a tweet in which Liz Cheney was accused of treason and it said read truth if you want televised military tribunals and he did.
So I think the speaker should talk to the president as well because he has he has done his share to put us where we are.
No, he brought it upon himself, but there's David Urban to say ho-ho-ho-ho!
David?
Yeah, I was just gonna say, look, Axl, you and I will disagree on this.
There's no excuse.
Axl!
That's like blaming the victim a little bit here, right?
Like, so, somebody gets assaulted, you blame the victim.
We shouldn't have been wearing that outfit, or that man deserved being hit by a car, or whatever.
He's not saying that in person.
Indirectly, yes, but you know, you gotta condemn this.
Axl, you gotta condemn it outright, right?
There's no justification.
David, I've condemned it from the very beginning.
I abhor that.
You can't say January 6th is the reason the President almost got killed yesterday.
Did I say that?
I said the Speaker said we have to lower our voice and I'm suggesting that he should speak to his own candidate as well.
And we should speak to lots of Democrats, lots of Republicans, the President of the United States, add some rhetoric.
Well, let's start, let's do this.
Let's start by not putting words in my mouth.
Okay, well, I'm not.
I'm just saying you shouldn't be saying that.
Let me bring it to Nashley for one second.
I just want to say, January 6th did not cause what happened.
I don't think he was saying that.
Nobody said that.
I don't think he was saying that.
He did.
That's exactly what he said.
Liar.
A lot of people getting fired from their jobs for saying, oh, he missed it.
No bad shot.
But my favorite was, of course, what happened in Australia.
A joke about a missed shot from an attempted assassin's rifle has put musical duo Tenacious D in the crosshairs amid calls for their deportation from Australia.
The controversy brought down the curtain on the rest of a tour across Australia and New Zealand and it could mean no more encores for the comedic rockers.
From Tenacious D's Carl Gass, this is not the greatest quote in the world.
Make a wish, Carl.
Don't miss Trump next time.
*crowd cheers* Paying no tributes to his bandmate, the other half of the comedic rock duo, Jack Black, posted, I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday and I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence.
With that, the rest of the duo's spicy meatball tour was cancelled and all creative plans put on ice.
Oh, that was one of my top three.
The topper, the topper had to be Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway on the Pivot podcast.
You got me on this one.
I'm sure this is going to be news to me.
Get a load of this one.
Social media is flooded with misinformation, conspiracy theories, especially X, of course.
And Elon Musk keeps touting that he's real media now.
He's not real media.
He's a piece of... Anyway.
Elon Musk and some other tech business leaders using their megaphones to criticize the Secret Service diversity initiatives and making unsubstantiated claims about the shooting, just like they did with that guy who got killed in San Francisco.
Wrong.
Wrong.
He's not Antifa.
He also formally endorsed Trump after the shooting, as did Bill Ackman, because they couldn't have the spotlight away from them.
People on both sides of the political spectrum are sharing theories, the false flag, claiming the picture was staged.
Yeah.
He certainly was fast on his feet.
There's ridiculous theories on both sides.
The worst on the right.
But I don't know if you heard, but right before Melania gave her public statement, she was heard yelling into a phone, you had one job!
Too soon?
Too soon?
I like a joke.
My favorite joke was from someone where they said, let's hope it's not a time traveler from the future who can't shoot.
It was something like that.
Anyway.
I don't know.
The truth is, I mean, probably the most likely conspiracy theory is the Democratic Party ordered a hit, but they use Timo for it.
They use Timo.
All right, we'll stop with the jokes.
It's just like they hate so much that they still have to make jokes.
And they didn't deliver a single one of them.
But they're not funny jokes.
No, they didn't deliver a single one of them.
What I really played this clip for is, Kara Swisher says, you know, there's lots of conspiracy theories, like it was an inside job.
I gotta say, he did get up pretty quick, that picture was pretty iconic!
And I just need to stop and say something about this.
Because there is a large contingent, quite large, who all believe this was staged.
It was meant to get that iconic photo.
Of Trump and the flag and his fist pumping in the air.
It was too perfect.
Everything was too well orchestrated.
Please, don't pay attention to the dead guy.
That's irrelevant.
But I would just like to remind people that if the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group had advised on such a strategy, we would do it in October, not in July.
That just discredits that whole theory.
It's idiotic.
Wouldn't you say?
Yeah, I'd have to agree with that.
I have a couple of clips that kind of refer to this.
One, first I got, this is about the nature of the shooting.
Bongino came up, who is an ex-Secret Service guy, so he has a lot of contacts, and he was bitching about it.
I guess we're going to do another investigation, this time by the House Speaker.
So we have about six or seven of these things going on at the same time.
They're definitely going to get rid of this woman.
I don't know how they're going to manage it, but they're going to have to give her a golden parachute or something.
Oh, you mean the Secret Service lady?
Cheadle.
Yeah, I mean, you had some stuff in the newsletter about her, which I did not know, that Jill Biden actually was partially responsible for.
Jill Biden hired her, yeah.
Really?
How do we know this?
Well, there's an article in the New York Post, there's an article in the Daily Mail, there's an article in Politico, there's an article in The Hill.
I think there's plenty of articles that indicate that Jill Biden did this.
So that's how we know it.
Alright.
But since you're on the topic of people being abhorrent, which I thought was funny hearing that coming from Axe.
Yeah.
Right on Monday, they cancelled the Mika and... Yeah, the Morning Joe Show.
Morning Joe got kicked off the air because they were... And then the next day, of course, I don't have the clip... By the way, I think we're responsible.
Because you called out the CEO of Comcast.
You said, it's that guy's fault.
And I think he heard it and he went, uh-oh.
Yeah, I doubt if he heard it, but he should have been saying, oh, oh.
Meanwhile, they let Nicole Wallace do her show.
Yeah.
And she's worse than those two.
And so I have some Nicole Wallace's material that I got three clips here.
They're fairly short, except for the first one.
But here's what happens.
This is the day at, you know, this is the first Monday when she comes back on the air.
She wasn't bumped.
And here we go.
We're back with Claire and David.
It's 4.39 in the east and we've memory hold Mike Pence.
The whole reason Donald Trump needs a new VP is because he called Mike Pence the P word because he wouldn't be the final nail in his coup coffin and then left him to die.
His supporters wanted to quote hang Mike Pence.
And by the way, J.D.
Vance said he would not have certified those electors.
Can I show you what J.D.
Vance said?
J.D.
Vance was actually confronted by Fox's Brett Baier about all the things J.D.
Vance said about Donald Trump.
Let me show you that.
Well, you know, Senator, this is an evolution.
And I know you've been asked about this before, about past comments that you've made about Donald Trump.
You've said, I've never, I'm a never Trump guy.
Never liked him.
Terrible candidate.
Idiot if you voted for him.
Might be America's Hitler.
Might be a cynical a-hole.
Cultural heroine.
Noxious and reprehensible.
Cultural heroine?
I didn't think he was going to be a good president, Brett.
He was a great president.
I don't know.
If the flip-flop doesn't make you throw up in your mouth, the sycophant he's turned into might.
Yeah, I think flip-flopping is baked in in the Trump era for Republicans, sadly.
As I mentioned, that's why I think the unqualified tag is important.
But I think at the base of what you just raised about the reason J.D.
Vance is now needed is because Donald Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, has been disenfranchised by Republicans, but most of Donald Trump's cabinet won't support the former president either, for a fundamental reason.
Because Donald Trump did try to topple democracy with violence, and Mike Pence refused to do it.
And this is important to the context of what we saw in Butler.
We don't know the shooter's motivations.
Let's just, let's say it was political violence, politically motivated.
That shooter almost interrupted democracy through violence, through a bullet.
On January 6th, Donald Trump led an insurrection to interrupt democracy.
Yeah, this is the big... It's a false equivalency!
What are you doing?
I like this is that guy.
Jolly, yes, Republican congressman.
Of course, Nicole Wallace is an ex-Republican.
She was, I think, a spokeshole for Bush.
Yes, for Bush.
Yeah.
And she now says that she was like a self-loathing Republican.
She was feeling bad about the D.C.
Yeah, I always hated being a Republican.
But I'm not a flip-flopper!
And speaking about puking in your mouth, come on, Nicole Wallace!
That's a good point.
I'm not a flip-flopper.
That's nasty.
That's nasty.
Well, she's a really pathetic example of a... Well, here's... Listen to this clip, too.
Fortunately, nobody was killed, but the crowd was chanting, hang Mike Pence.
And Donald Trump watched as that occurred.
It is why... He sent out a tweet calling him, not the P word, but we know from Ivanka Trump's assistant that that's what he was saying in private.
And as I've said that... What?
He sent out a tweet, not calling him the P-Word.
What was the tweet?
He's always sending out tweets.
So she said, so she implies, by the way she presents this, that he sent out a tweet calling Mike Pence a prick.
Or a pussy.
Or a pussy.
We don't know.
We don't know because, but it's the P-Word.
It's the P-Word.
You can't say the P-Word unless you're wearing a pink hat.
Exactly.
So she says he sent out a tweet.
Not calling him a... Wait, with the tweets?
What is she talking about?
They're very confused at this moment.
They're confused.
They don't know what to do.
No one's giving... There's no call from Jill.
She's trying to, you know, keep Joe afloat.
Their deal isn't done yet.
You know, she's managing Schumer.
You know, it's like, ah, I gotta get this guy.
I gotta make it happen.
Hunter's, you know, he's in the corner going...
It's a problem.
They got problems.
There's problems in paradise here.
So, nobody knows what to do.
Well, here we go to the last short clip.
Trump was a guy, and the first girlfriend that was dating him was Mike Pence.
And you say, well, you know, it's not you, it's him.
I mean, he left you to actually die.
They were chanting, hang Mike Pence.
And he said, yeah, go for it, basically.
It's really unbelievable.
Wait, wait.
She claims that Trump said they were chanting, hang Mike Pence.
I don't remember this.
I watched the whole thing too.
If he was watching what I was watching, which was on C-SPAN, there wasn't much going on.
And so they're chanting, according to her, hang Mike Pence, which could have been just the FBI chanting it.
And then Trump said, go for it.
When was this?
Do you remember this?
No.
And what they had, they also claim they built a gallows.
There was a small, there was no gallows.
There was a guillotine, like a model guillotine that was outside.
You know, someone brought it in on a trailer.
Yeah.
Surprise, surprise.
The media sucks.
Just surprise.
The media is doing no good.
This is where I want to play this clip.
This is the one I just sent in.
This is Brian O'Shea.
And Brian O'Shea is married to Naomi Wolfe.
Naomi Wolfe... Yes, and he's a former... Intel guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a private security company.
Intel, ex-Intel, ex-Army Green Beret.
He's got a hell of a background.
He, and she married him because he was a bodyguard.
He was a bodyguard, yeah, a bodyguard.
Says when to marry the bodyguard.
Yes, yes.
So this guy... She's a regular witness in Houston.
So she wrote a substack claiming that Jill Biden is behind the whole assassination.
It was really cagey.
She's like, I don't want to get sued, but it looks like Jill is in charge here.
I don't want to get sued, but it looks like Jill is in charge here.
Yeah, it was an interesting piece.
And that piece, I would have linked to that in the newsletter, but I read it after the fact.
Because it was interesting.
I tweeted it so people should follow me, the real Dvorak.
Because I'm not on Mastodon anymore.
No.
So he has a couple of new, he has one insight that I've never heard, and she claims, this goes on for a little while, and she says it's like breaking news and they talk about that, but they talked about some other stuff, but this is one of the key little elements in an interview she did with him on one of her podcasts, and I will say this, she doesn't, I don't know why this is, she's Always poor.
She is so poorly mic'd on her own podcast.
Yeah.
And everybody else, all the guests are well mic'd.
Yeah, she does it on the laptop mic.
I have no idea why.
Someone should shake her about.
Say hey.
It's just I've never heard a podcast where the host... The host is the worst.
I'm gonna send her some gear.
She needs some gear.
We gotta help Naomi with a mic.
She needs a mic.
Okay.
Okay, I'll send her a mic.
All right, so this is Brian O'Shea?
Yeah, Brian O'Shea.
My first reaction was, and I'm not going to judge the Secret Service's conduct, I will say that I've heard, and I don't know, I have a lot of Secret Service friends, are telling me some of those people on that detail were kind of short.
And why is that important?
They were very, a lot of them were like midgets.
Yeah.
And the thing is, it's so, I took no offense when my friend Gary would assign me to, for instance, a former naval commander, a submarine commander, because submarine commanders are short.
I am about five foot eight.
And so I could, I can shield him.
But there were a few that were, and Donald Trump is a tall man.
And I would just think you'd want people at least as hype.
But again, I don't know.
But I also noticed, like, there were a couple people I noticed in the crowd that stood out.
I don't know who they were.
There's one guy that just stood there standing.
That was really weird.
But I will say this.
When I got the audio of the, when they did their huddle around him, the Secret Service, There's some things that the media is censoring right now.
And I think it's because Secret Service has been pushing diversity, equity and inclusion with the goal of having 30% women by like 2030.
What I did hear in the audio that has been censored, they've just cut the sound for the split second.
But I caught it early, is you hear through Donald Trump's mic one of the female agents saying, what are we doing?
Now, as a security professional, not a Secret Service guy, but I'm really good, you always know what you're doing.
Yeah.
Which brings me to another couple of points that are interesting.
Now the media obviously bleeped that out.
I've never heard that.
I don't think I've heard either.
What I did hear is I heard, on your go, alright go, and then nothing goes.
He's still on the floor.
They're supposed to pick him up.
I saw that too.
Yeah, that was weird.
There were two other censorship issues though.
One of them was The New York, this was a whole segment of the Gutfeld Show and I could have clipped it I suppose, but I can just say it.
They are censoring the photo of Trump with his fist in the air and the flag in the background and they're taking the flag out.
By request, by request.
I have an unnamed editor of quote major news outlet wants the media to stop using the iconic photo of Trump because it helps Trump.
Yeah, so the news media is deciding not to use a real photo that hasn't been altered.
Hey man, the whole thing was set up to get that picture, don't you know that?
This whole thing is the inside job false flag!
The other thing that's been taken out, and I do remember seeing this and then I haven't seen it since, which is one of the incompetent Secret Service guys had a rifle, and I don't think it was one of the girls.
I mean, we do know about the girl who can't holster her gun.
That's been played up on Twitter and every place else.
She got the gun out and she couldn't put it back.
And so she held it out and kept it.
in her possession of holding it.
But there is a shot of a guy who's, these people are all confused and this guy's got this rifle and he actually pointed it at Trump.
You know, just on that topic, what bothered me is so many people were behind the president, roaming around, photographers like zipping across to the front and not a single reaction from photographers like zipping across to the front and not a single reaction from any of the law enforcement
And maybe we should just consider that we don't actually live in the West Wing television series and that in reality, The presidents are a lot less safe than we think they are.
You know, it's like, let me just read this for a second.
Our anonymous lobbyist checked in with me and he's in Milwaukee at the RNC.
You remember the anonymous lobbyist?
Oh yeah.
He says, the amount of security and police presence in Milwaukee for the RNC is shocking, actually very impressive.
I work for an organization who put on a party for attendees after the convention last night on Tuesday.
Basically says this is one week of partying from lunchtime till the morning hours.
Just outside the front of our event building are barriers to stop vehicles from proceeding into the hard security zone.
There are two security zones around the forum, soft and hard, which span multiple blocks in all directions.
Vehicles are allowed in the hard security zone, but must pass through a designated checkpoint where a bomb check on the vehicle is performed.
In front of our event building was not a designated vehicle checkpoint.
At the barriers in front of our event building, Secret Service was stationed in an unmarked patrol vehicle, and the building next to our event building was actually housing Secret Service officers for the week of the convention.
During the setup of the event, broad sunny daylight, I was in the front of the event, front of the building assisting with various tasks to prepare for the party a man on a moped managed to speed through the security barrier into the hard zone unabated by the barrier which was designed to stop cars of course not mopeds whoops as soon as the moped got through the barriers a secret service officer popped out of his duty vehicle he walks over to me and says did you see the man on the moped i said yes with some additional trivial comments
The Secret Service officer says, well, I didn't want to kill the guy, so I let him through.
I mean, in reality, you're just not as safe as everyone thinks you are.
It's just a fact of life.
You know, Trump is not necessarily safe tonight at the event.
I mean, anything could be hidden in the... If they want to get him, they'll get him, eventually.
Without intervention of some kind.
So we need to stop dreaming that we live in this fantasy of Harrison Ford and Secret Service and police and everybody does everything right.
They should have shot the guy in the moped.
Yes!
Right through the noggin!
I mean, seriously, that's the reality of it.
We're all living in a fantasy world, you know, preconditioned by movies and television.
It's just not so.
It's hard to do this kind of protection.
It's hard!
So let's listen to Dan Bongino's take on some of this.
All right, Bongino.
Everybody get ready.
Remember, code Bongino for 10% off.
A high-level source reached out to me last night and said to me that the rooftop that the shooter engaged from, as I told you last night during the Tucker Carlson special and then on Don Jr.'s Show, was actually supposed to be posted by a local police department or non-Secret Service counter-sniper team.
So we're clear on the facts.
There were two counter-sniper teams from the Secret Service, two.
Those two were assigned to the scene.
That rooftop was obviously deemed a threat.
It was a line-of-sight issue.
So because they didn't have the assets, and I'll get to why in a few minutes, it involves Dr. Jill Biden, who has an extremely low threat level relative to Donald Trump.
This is the breaking news.
For some reason, that local police department... This is not about Monday morning quarterbacking, folks.
Again, this is not a football game.
These are people's lives.
For some reason, that local tactical counter-sniper team didn't make it to the roof.
What I'm hearing from sources...
Is that that tactical team positioned it through a second floor window, which cedes the high ground.
Now, I wish I wasn't breaking this on my show.
The fact that nobody is comfortable talking to the media because they're such insider hacks, they're afraid they're all going to be exposed, and they all have to come to me, candidly, folks, is a travesty.
Wait, John, breaking news, breaking!
Come here, babe.
I love you.
Have a good trip.
I love you.
Tina's leaving for Indiana.
Oh, that, yeah, sorry, that was breaking!
Well, the thing, the point of that, yeah, I got the joke.
Sorry.
The point of that was, why are, you know, that Bungie, and I agreed with this, nobody's talking to the media about this stuff, because these guys like... Sorry.
What?
No, the dog barked, it wasn't me, the dog is barking.
Oh.
The media are partisan hacks, and you can't talk to them.
You'll get busted, you'll get outed.
They're just not trustworthy.
So, like, that's Bongino's lament was that, why are they telling me this stuff?
I mean, I'm just a talk show host.
Yeah.
And that's what I thought the point of that really was.
A couple of things.
First of all, if we really want to go back to the genesis of hurting the president, I'm going to put that squarely on Kathy Griffin.
She kicked it all off with a Trump-severed head, and boy, did she pay for it dearly, with her career and with her health.
So I just want to say... Yeah, her health.
God, talking about someone who's gone downhill.
Yeah, I mean, so we don't have to be mad at her, but she did really start this... Oh, Phoebe, be quiet.
The things that bother me, and well, okay, let me step back a second.
From looking at all of the videos that people have sent me, all of the personal videos people have taken, all the Rumble stuff, all the Brighteon stuff, all the Q stuff, I can safely say we have a lot of snipers in our country.
Yeah, I noticed this too.
We got a lot of snipers.
A lot of them.
If you just go on Twitter, the number of snipers that have come out of the woodwork.
We got snipers.
If you need a sniper, just come here and throw a brick and you got a sniper.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
This reeks to me completely of an FBI type operation, which was probably not supposed to include a gun.
And I say this because of the very prototypical... Phoebe!
Quiet!
We got people working on the bathroom, so she's a little upset.
Um, I say this because of the very prototypical, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna jack you up online, um, probably while you're playing a game, which is now, is now known that he posted some messages on, uh, on, uh, on Steam, on the gaming site.
Phoebe!
And we're going to give you some explosive devices, and we're going to give you a remote control, and when we give you the signal, you press that button, it's going to blow up, it's going to be awesome!
He did have some explosive devices in his car, and they found some at the house.
The Butler Township Police were not responsible for the security of the building, according to Knight.
But it's unclear which local agency was.
The Secret Service says it was outside of their security perimeter and was primarily the responsibility of local law enforcement, even though the rooftop had a vantage point 148 yards from the podium.
The AR-15 or variations the M4 has a maximum effective range of 656 yards.
Retired Secret Service agent Rich Staropoli also worked for the Department of Homeland Security under Trump.
That building was nowhere near the outer perimeter.
There is no excuse for not having someone posted on the roof of that building.
The Secret Service tells ABC News that no one was put on the roof because it was dangerously sloped.
That argument called into question because of images like these.
The Secret Service did not respond to NBC News' multiple requests for comment, putting out a statement on X overnight.
We are deeply grateful to the officers who ran towards danger to locate the gunman, and to all our local partners for their unwavering commitment.
Stephanie, it looks like a lot of pieces may be falling into place.
I think you're also learning there was another moment along the way that the shooter had been reported as suspicious.
Yeah Lester, four officials tell us that rally goers noticed crooks at the metal detectors pacing and acting strangely.
Police then notified the Secret Service according to a U.S.
official.
All of this happening before crooks got on that rooftop.
So all of this happened an hour before?
I mean this has...
FBI written all over it.
How many times have they given some poor sap a remote control?
You press this, you blow it up, it'll be awesome.
You know, you'll be doing something good.
The kid literally posts on Steam like, July 13th, I'm making my premiere and it's gonna be awesome.
And I'm paraphrasing.
I don't think they expected him to have the gun and he popped off two shots before it even It's not like he was an expert assassin, in fact, according to reports from his schoolmates.
He was a horrible shotgun, like laughably bad, and kicked him out of the gun club.
Well, I never heard that he was laughably bad.
Yes, I had laughably bad is the reporting I have.
So then what really bugs me is that they start to spin the narrative.
And the first narrative which popped up a day ago was this nutty one.
Tonight, a new report that security around Donald Trump was increased in recent weeks because U.S.
intelligence learned of an Iranian plot to kill him, according to three officials briefed on the matter, raising even more questions about how a 20-year-old gunman in rural Pennsylvania, with no apparent connection to the Iranian plot, was able to get on a rooftop last Saturday.
So they try and, oh, it was Iran.
It was an Iranian plot, everybody.
It was Iran who did this.
That's narrative spin number one, which of course results in hilarious gaffes from the mainstream media.
Listen to this.
This morning we're learning more about the increased security around former President Trump before Saturday's assassination attempt.
Yeah, it all comes as U.S.
intelligence directed an Iranian plot.
What?
She literally said- Yes, good guess.
U.S.
intelligence directed an Iranian plot.
Yeah, it all comes as U.S.
intelligence directed an Iranian plot.
Yeah, truth wants to come out.
So that was yesterday.
Today though, this is the new one.
This goes back to he was a gamer, he was an incel.
New this morning, a source tells CNN that the gunman wrote on the gaming platform So what do you think about that?
days before, quote, "July 13th will be my premiere.
Watch as it unfolds." CNN senior national security analyst, former assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, Julia Kayyem, is with us now.
So what do you think about that?
There was some kind of cryptic, somewhat cryptic posting from the shooter.
Yeah, so he knew What's interesting about all the information we're getting out now is that he knew that there was some performative violent action that he wanted to do, right?
Because he's looking at the DNC dates, he's looking at the Trump dates, he's sort of searching all around.
He then focuses on a relatively close event for him geographically, which is Trump.
So we know that For reasons that might be psychological, historical for him, cultural, he's isolated.
He's looking for a moment to get his headline.
What's interesting is he doesn't care what the headline is.
I mean, in other words, his search history now is showing someone who's sort of scrambling for an ideology.
And that's what's so I think new for this kind of political assassination attempt is we generally have a motive relatively quickly.
They either don't like the candidate, right?
Or they're trying to do something to impress someone, as say, the Ronald Reagan assassination attempt.
And so I think we're going to learn a lot more.
And what we may learn, John, is that we can't put a nice bow around this.
Yes, you can.
Incel, loner, you know, no girlfriends, bullied at school, playing video games, wanted to make a name for himself, had no political motive.
Well done, well done.
And just as stupid and bumbling as the Secret Service, and no disrespect, I mean, it's just a fact.
You know, half of these people probably don't train enough in a real life situation.
You know, one of our producers also mailed in, well, you know, the DEI hire, she's probably her first real live event, you know, that something really happened and maybe, you know, she was, adrenaline's flowing, couldn't reholster her weapon, you know, but that's because we all believe in the movies.
So, then we have this other fantastic, fantastic quote from the Secret Service Director, Cheadle, why no one was stationed on the roof, which has just resulted in hilarious memes.
Secret Service Director is saying a decision was made early on not to place any personnel on the roof.
That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point, she said, and so you know there's a safety factor.
That would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.
It's hilarious, the memes like cows on the roof, you know.
That roof is hardly even sloped.
No, it's ridiculous.
So everybody's full of crap.
Everybody, the whole veil has just dropped, has been lifted really.
Like, oh, oh, it turns out you're not really safe.
Give me a break.
But do you remember when Trump first got elected in 2016?
He didn't trust the Secret Service and decided to have his own people?
Yes.
Now, it's my understanding he still has his own people.
It could be.
But I don't know which ones... My understanding is he has special forces, which may have been the military guys, who also seem pretty... Who pointed the gun at him.
Yeah.
Seem pretty ineffective.
Now, I have two clips.
And by the way, I just want to say again, Secret Service, they all did shield him.
And that does take a certain amount of hootspot.
It takes a lot of guts.
So, and you know, I don't want to disparage people.
I'm just being realistic about this.
You have a gift of course.
We're learning new details about the suspected shooter who tried to assassinate former U.S.
President Donald Trump.
Authorities say Thomas Matthew Crooks was scheduled Three hours!
That's amazing!
It's amazing!
Hey, what's that rangefinder?
off law enforcement said crooks first aroused suspicion three hours before the shooting at the venue when he passed through security carrying a rangefinder the binocular type devices are used by hunters or target shooters to measure distances when setting up a long range shot that's amazing it's amazing hey what's that rate a range uh range finder okay carry on come on and then the The only other clip I've got on
this is a Butler Police Department clip.
Uh, where is it?
Yes, got it here.
Meanwhile, the Butler Police Department has confirmed its officers confronted the gunman on the roof outside the Trump rally last Saturday, shortly before he fired at the former president, coming close to killing him.
More from NPR's Martin Costi.
In a written statement, the Butler Township Police Department says its officers were assigned traffic duty outside the rally.
Traffic duty.
But they, quote, broke free from that to respond to a report of a suspicious male around a business called American Glass Research.
They didn't find him at first, then one officer hoisted another to the roof where the gunman pointed his rifle at him, causing the officer to let go and fall.
The statement says the gunman opened fire, quote, moments later.
It's still not clear whether the Secret Service's protection plan relied on the sheriff's office, state police, or other local officers to safeguard that rooftop.
So, you know me as a conspiracy therapist.
I'm looking at everything.
You know, that weird QAnon guy was in the audience.
He didn't move.
He knew it was coming.
Q knew it.
It was all set up.
It's all, I mean, so just for the record, I completely believe that this happened.
This kid was probably not even supposed to fire.
It feels completely like an FBI... I like your thesis.
I like the idea that this was an FBI, another six-week cycle FBI scam.
Not meant to actually harm the president.
And the kid, because he was so, I guess, spun up by the FBI, that he decided he's going to freelance.
They picked the wrong guy.
He even said that.
You got the wrong guy.
He said it on that video.
That's right.
You got the wrong guy.
I'm not just going to detonate some bombs, which, as far as I can tell, We're not detonatable.
Or detonable.
Which would be typical.
Which would be very, and you haven't heard, oh yeah, they had to detonate them because they were bombs.
No, they didn't blow them up in the detonation unit.
No, it's like, ah, it's a little unclear about that.
Okay, fine.
Then we have the photo of the bullet.
This is another point of contention.
People saying that it's, there's no reason, there's no reason for this shot to have ever been made and I'll explain why as we have Doug Mills from the New York Times who has been A photographer of presidents, I think since Bush.
Forever.
Yeah, forever.
Forever.
He explains his settings and he does say something interesting here.
My name is Doug Mills.
I've been covering politics since 1983 and I was yesterday covering President Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
I was taking pictures and that's when the pops started happening and I just happened to have my finger on the shutter and I heard the pops and just kept shooting.
I didn't know what I had captured but when I got to my laptop I could see that bullet flying behind his head because it's definitely not in the frames right before it.
And it's not an afterwards, it's only that one frame.
And I was shooting at 1,000th of a second.
It captured that streak behind him.
So the theory goes, no reason he was shooting at 1,000th of a second.
He wanted to get the shot of Trump's head exploding!
I'm not a photography expert, but a lot of people... Oh, that's interesting.
I haven't heard that angle.
Oh, yeah.
Well, so first of all, he says here, like, I looked at my laptop.
In an interview on NBC, which was too boring and too long, he says he sent it to his editor and his editor called him and said, hey, you won't believe what you have.
So there's a little discrepancy in his story there.
Um, but it's my understanding that if you are photographing in a very bright daylight environment and you want to blur out the background, you want to have your object very sharp, that 1 8000th of a second is not completely out of the range of ideas.
Now you know more about it than I do.
It's pretty high shutter speed, but you can get some effects that you otherwise wouldn't have by shooting at that speed.
That's a very high speed.
He's a professional photographer.
He wants to shoot a lot of shots.
He's probably shooting like a maniac.
I mean, click, click, click, click, click.
No, it's more like... I mean, these things do... it's spray and pray.
That's what you do.
That's why he got the frame.
Right, exactly.
And there's two kinds of photographers I've run into over the years, because I've had a lot of photos taken for one magazine or another.
And there's two kinds of photographers you run into.
The one is, like you just described, they sit you down and they will take I don't know, 200 pictures of you, and then they show you the proofs, and it's all on a sheet, little bitty pictures, and then you circle a couple that you might like, or he'll say, here's the one I want to use, and maybe you're allowed to select it or not, depends on the photographer.
Most of the time they let you pick one that you don't look like an idiot.
And then there's the other kind, and I had this done for my, when I did the telecommunications book in the 80s.
He, and this is the other kind of photographer, and this is the artist.
He shoots an 8x10 negative on a big giant camera, sets you up, brings a makeup person in, they stand you there.
Wait, we gotta do a Polaroid first.
Polaroid.
I don't remember the Polaroid.
Yeah, on the Hasselblad.
They do that for lighting.
The Hasselblad.
You put the Polaroid back on it first.
This is not a Hasselblad.
This is an 8x10.
I know.
I'm just telling you.
Yeah, Hasselblad guys are pretty close to the same thing.
Because they got a big negative.
So the guy sets up shop and he's got this big camera.
They put you up there, make you up.
You probably, I don't remember the Polaroid, but he probably did that just to get the lighting to make sure it looked okay.
And then takes one picture!
Yes!
And it's perfect!
That's a different kind of photographer.
And so you have the two, got two different styles, but, but shooting at one 8,000 means you weren't really trying to get a lot of shots off.
I'm sure they're shooting that, you know, I have maximum frames per second, blank, blank, blank, blank.
I mean, there's a lot of people very suspicious of this.
If that's all you got, then okay.
You wanted to get the exploding head shot of the year, you know, but I, I exploding head shot would never be used.
No, no.
So that doesn't make any sense.
No one's going to print a shot of a guy's head exploding.
So now's the next part of the theory.
Now, and this one, uh, I actually wanted to call up Horowitz, but then I found the clip.
This is the, uh, uh, the wealth fund management that shorted the DJT stock.
Yeah.
The day before the shooting, 12 million shares, which was not really a short, it was a put, which is technically.
It's basically a short.
Okay.
Um, and Jason Goodman.
Called and got someone on the phone.
Hello?
Alex?
Is this Mr. Wagner?
Yeah.
My name is Jason Goodman.
We don't know each other, but I was calling to see if you're aware of this information that's going around the internet about Austin private wealth shorting 12 million shares of Trump media stock.
Is there anything to this?
There's a lot of information about your company going around right now.
Right, I understand.
So it was a reporting error.
So if you go back and look at that same filing, you'll see it was a clerical error in the filing.
Well, how did that occur?
I mean, were you trying to short fewer shares than that?
How could such an error like this?
It seems like a remarkable coincidence for that dramatic of an error to occur the day before this historic incident, doesn't it?
So the reporting is generated June 30th, and it was a clerical error.
I do believe we'll be releasing something to our website with more detail on it, but if you go look at the updated filing, you'll see the proper data in there.
So that's something for Horowitz, but I'm sure you can tell- We kind of talked about it.
Yeah?
We talked about the stock and its response to the shooting, which it skyrocketed the next day.
What was that, squeezing shorts?
Well, if it's a put, the puts are really, you just get wiped out.
You know, it's not like you have to cover yourself.
Right, but you're right, you don't get wiped out.
A put is a fraction of the total share amount, correct?
Because it's basically an option.
A put is stock that's borrowed and sold and it's, uh, as an option.
As an option, right.
So you lose your options.
You basically, it's not like actually, when you actually short, you can lose your ass.
Your house and everything.
Yeah.
You can lose a lot of money if you short against a run up.
So you panic and you sell back.
You buy and sell.
They also wrote call options.
I think they had a straddle going.
That would make sense.
I mean, these operations do that constantly.
But the second part of it is that this Austin Wealth Management Fund, they donate a lot of money to Jews.
So, you know, I'm just saying.
What's that got to do with anything?
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
It was all kinds of stuff like that.
So people are really going, sadly, a bit off the rails with this, whereas I think the only explanation I can come to is it's almost like Occam's Razor.
We've seen this from the FBI.
The remote makes total sense.
The FBI immediately took over the investigation.
Of course they did.
And it will, you know, who knows if this will ever come out because typically they do a report and they say, well, I'm a confidential informant person and, you know, and I talked to this kid for two months and, you know, that would make nothing but sense.
It has all the hallmarks, everything to make a big boom, to make, you know, make some noise.
Now, could that have been pro-Trump?
Maybe.
I don't know.
There has always been a conspiracy against Trump.
There is a conspiracy and there always will be.
The literal definition to breathe together.
There is a conspiracy and it's massive.
It's massive.
They hate the guy.
With they I mean...
A large contingent of the government itself hates the guy.
This is true.
He's not making any friends by putting J.D.
Vance in there, who probably is more against the administrative state than Trump himself.
Well, the stock market responded very favorably to Trump surviving this assassination.
Yes, it did.
In fact, it's gone way higher than I expected it to.
I mean, I think the Dow is at 42 now.
Should I have stunned, it's over 40.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Yeah, but it's overheated anyway.
Um, just for, um, just because I love George Carlin, I wanted to play his 42nd bit on assassinations, which is always just fun to listen to.
We miss him.
Assassination.
You know what's interesting about assassination?
Well, not only does it change those popularity polls in a big fucking hurry, But it's also interesting to notice who it is we assassinate.
You ever notice who it is?
Stop to think of who it is we kill.
It's always people who've told us to live together in harmony and try to love one another.
Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon.
They all said, try to live together peacefully.
Bam!
Right in the fucking head.
Apparently, we're not ready for that.
Yeah, that's difficult behavior for us.
Uh, Ah, Mr. George, we need you.
Yes, that is a good bit.
We need George.
We play it every couple years.
And I need to give you massive props.
You called it, you nailed it right on the money.
President Trump walks in on the first day of the Republican National Convention with a big bandage on his ear.
You could not have been more right about this.
Yeah, why would you not do that?
It was, it was, I mean, it was just, it was so big though.
Yeah, now, there was criticism, in fact, there was a funny meme going around, I might put it in the next newsletter, where somebody says, no, the meme is, uh, I don't understand why he's wearing such a big bandage.
What's, what's he afraid of?
And then the person saying this, the meme, memer has got a big giant mask on.
Yeah.
I've seen that.
COVID mask.
So here is, I'm sorry.
I was just going to say the, uh, This became, MSNBC and some of these other, I don't know if it's CNN, but MSNBC for sure, they started bitching about this bandage.
And so they had to get Ronnie Jackson or Jones or whatever his name, Johnson, I can't remember his last name.
Jackson, I think.
Who's Trump's, still Trump's doctor I guess.
Jackson, yeah he's Jackson.
He had to put the giant bandage on because the nature of the wound is such that, and that skin is very susceptible, this is really just cartilage.
He said, Jackson said that if you touched it, just touched it, it would start bleeding so you had to protect it with a big bandage.
So Trump comes walking in and this is CNN with former Fox host Chris Wallace and Jake Tapper and even they could not deny the electrifying moment that it was.
He famously said, nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without effect.
And you can see that today.
The idea that just hours ago, a few days ago, this man, an assassin's bullet whizzed by him, hit him in the ear, inches from his temple.
Just by the slightest fraction of an inch, he survived.
Shot at without effect.
And you can see the joy of this crowd.
I gotta tell you, somebody who's been covering these conventions since 1964, that may have been the most electric moment I ever saw.
That was quite extraordinary.
Whether you like the men or not, that was...
Well, I mean, this is a crowd.
These are tens of thousands of people who love Donald Trump, and they almost lost him.
Dial it back, Jake!
This figure that figures so prominently in their lives.
And it's so interesting tonight.
There has been zero talk about the Democrats, and rhetoric, and political rhetoric, and them blaming the media.
What?
And it's all been talk about divine property.
Hey, hey, stop that!
So that was kind of interesting.
And I think that's what most of these people view is that it is by the grace of God that Donald Trump is here tonight and representing them going forward.
So that was kind of interesting.
Trump's first truth or truth, truth post truth was this was God alone who said.
I thank God that his hand was on President Trump.
The first day of the convention, there was a lot of God talk.
Two days ago, evil came for the man we admire and love so much.
I thank God that his hand was on President Trump.
Because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle.
But an American lion got back up on his feet and he roared.
Continuing on the religious theme, an actual man of God paid tribute to Trump's rhetorical style, much to the former president's delight.
You're gonna be so blessed.
You're gonna be tired of being blessed.
I guarantee it.
Believe me.
That guy was pretty funny.
Did you see him?
Yeah, you know, the whole convention has been a tearjerker.
The way they've orchestrated it.
I have to say that I have seen a lot of these conventions.
I went to one once.
When I was in high school.
Was that where Wallace was?
It was a long time ago.
Sorry, I'll stop.
I think it was the last San Francisco Convention.
Whatever the case was, you can get into these things.
I don't remember ever being checked for guns or anything, but you can get in as you go.
This is the era of the... All the signs used to be on sticks.
I noticed there's two things I noticed about this convention.
Yes.
There's no sticks.
No sticks!
People just holding different signs up as though they were in the, like, the cards section of a college football game where they had these different cards and you lift this one.
Okay, lift up card number three!
And they'd lift up one of the cards and every night's a different card because they've had this, they've made this convention thematic with a different theme for every night and they preface all the speeches, all the big Big Boy speeches with the general public coming out and giving their stories, and they're just heartbreaking.
And they just make it sound like the country's falling apart.
And it's very well done.
I think this is the best orchestrated convention I've ever seen in so far as showmanship's concerned.
You can see Trump's TV background and you know he's talking to Burnett and some of his buddies to design this thing the way it is.
It's spectacular.
Last night they had the Gold Star families, 13 of them who lost kids.
In Afghanistan, oh man, they all went up there and said, Joe Biden lied.
He said not a single serviceman or woman lost their life on his watch.
He has never said my child's name out loud.
And then they all went, you know, they said the names out loud and the crowd said their names out loud.
I mean, that was just like, and even CNN, I didn't clip all of that, but even CNN was like, well, that's a political death blow right there.
Which it was.
I would say all three days so far, and tonight will be Trump's night, have been like that.
I've never seen anything so well done.
The worst speech I think was Don Jr.
He's not a good orator, but he did bring out his granddaughter.
His daughter, Trump's granddaughter, and she gave a grandpa's cool type speech, which was a fantastic, brilliant move.
J.D.
Vance made a huge, huge mistake.
He forgot that this was being televised.
He was talking to the audience.
He was playing on the crowd.
He forgot that he was being on television.
That was bad.
I didn't see it as a faux pas necessarily.
What I noticed about him was that he needs, his elocution could be improved.
He could have a little deeper voice.
He sounds a little thin.
But I basically liked it, but he did, you're right, and the audience would do different kinds of chants, like J.D.' 's mom, because the mom was there.
That was fantastic!
The J.D.' 's mom, they would start chanting different things they'd make up in the audience, and J.D.
was encouraging it.
Mamaw!
Mamaw!
Yeah, mamaw and all the rest of it.
I thought he was, now with Vance, I wasn't thinking they were going to pick him, and I thought it was because of the beard, for one reason.
But everybody seems to like him, Mimi likes him.
Trump Jr.
has a beard, I don't understand why people say Trump has a white beard.
I know, I don't know what I was thinking when I made that assertion, because Eric has a beard!
Yeah, they both have beards.
Eric Trump has a beard.
They're all bearded.
So maybe it's just Trump doing his, you know, sleight of hand.
I heard J.D.
Vance two days earlier on the Hannity radio show, I was driving to the store, and Hannity was on with J.D.
Vance.
And I had never, he is quick-witted, he's fast, he's sharp, he was holding his, more than holding his own, he was dominating Sean Hannity on the radio show, and he was just, I'm listening to him going, oh boy, this is news to me.
And when I heard him on the radio just going, you know, just acting, sounding, I would say, competing with Kellyanne Conway from hogging the mic, I was impressed.
And so I, when I heard, so I was waiting for this speech and his EQ could have been, maybe it could have been improved, but you know, they could have given a little big bottom running through some.
You mean what I give you?
I give you a big bottom twice a week.
Big bottom.
So, but I, now I think, okay, this guy's probably okay, and he is only 39, and he does, he's definitely a Trumper, and he's got the same basic concepts and ideas, even though Nicole Wallace just calls him a brown noser.
Well, here's J.D.
Vance, I think this is the Ohio senatorial race, where, you know, he's, his feet are held to the fire, you are a never-Trumper, you called him an a-hole, a borderline Nazi, which he did, and here's J.D.
Vance.
You've admitted you've changed your mind on Donald Trump, but in the past you've said, quote, I'm a never-Trump guy, quote, my God, what an idiot, and quote, God wants better of us.
All statements you have either said or tweeted about Donald Trump at some point.
The question, you have 60 seconds, why should Trump voters, Trump supporters vote for you?
Yeah, look, I mean, all of us say stupid things and I happen to say stupid things very publicly.
I've been very public about the fact that I voted for the president in 2020, that I was wrong about the president back in 2015-2016, and that he's been the greatest president of my lifetime for the very simple reason, there are many, but one very important reason is that he revealed the corruption in Washington, D.C.
Who would have believed five years ago, six years ago, that the FBI would actually investigate illegally, get an illegal wiretap on a sitting U.S. presidential candidate?
We saw that.
Trump revealed it, and he revealed it in a way that showed us the stakes of the fight, which is why I'm running for this office in the first place.
And one thing I'd point out is that I was just north of 30 years old when I said a lot of those things.
A lot's changed in my life.
I reengaged with my faith.
I got baptized three years ago.
I've had three kids since then.
You know, a lot's different.
And one of the things that's different is that I did change my mind about Donald Trump.
He was a great president.
And I think at the end of the day, one of the things this race presents is an opportunity.
Who actually agrees with Trump on the core issues of trade, of immigration?
Who's willing to fight for an America First foreign policy?
I think that's clearly me.
Interesting.
Got baptized.
Yeah, he also did a, well I know you'd respond to that, he also had in another interview, I think maybe it was on Hannity, he kind of blamed the media for brainwashing him against Trump.
Oh, I wish we had that one.
That wouldn't surprise me.
I wish I had it too.
Wouldn't surprise me.
That makes nothing but sense.
So, a couple other people showed up.
The most interesting one to me was Amber Rose.
Amber Rose, who has a huge social media following, I think mainly for her boobs.
And she's black, or mixed race.
And so she came out, and by the way, she's most famous for dating Kanye West.
That's really what shot her.
Yeah, she was good.
The first person I knew who supported Donald Trump was my father.
I was shocked.
My entire family is racially diverse and I believe the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist.
My father said, no, he's not Amber.
What are you talking about?
And when I insisted, he said, prove it.
So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump.
People have to do their research.
I watched all the rallies and I started meeting so many of you, his red hat wearing supporters.
I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight.
It's all love.
- It's all love. - It's all love, baby! - And that's when it hit me.
These are my people.
This is where I belong.
So I let go of my fear of judgment, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left, and I put the red hat on too.
So this really shook a lot of people up.
Here's a quick reaction from the Daily Blast.
People have a right to change their minds.
I think flexibility of thought is very important.
But right now, this moment, to me, when it comes to Amber Rose, is giving the short line.
I've spoken about the short line a lot because when you're a person of color you're often enticed with more revenue, more eyeballs, more of a following if you do the contrarian point of view to people who look like you in front of people who don't.
Because you stand out.
Exactly.
I see.
And that's what it was giving to me last night.
She's just a whore!
She doesn't really care.
She's a whore!
Here's Van Jones, he had his own take.
But what I would say is, what you called an inchoate coalition, I see it as the Republicans are trying to eat our cookies.
We've had some cookies called the black vote, and they're trying to take those cookies.
We've had the labor vote, they're trying to take those cookies.
They're taking our cookies, man!
They're taking our cookies!
That's a good one.
Taking our cookies!
Oh no!
Another person similar to her speech, and I thought that got the audience worked up, was the Jewish student from Harvard.
Did you see him?
He was on Last Night.
Oh, Mastodon went crazy.
They're bringing him to Utah!
They're bringing him to Utah!
It's no good!
Literally, literally, literally.
Oh no, the Jews!
Mastodon is like the biggest anti-Semitic operation there is.
It's unbelievable.
You mean the Fediverse?
The Fediverse.
Yeah, the Fediverse.
I call it Mastodon because it's Bastodon.
Yeah, and then you had the two Americans whose son is a hostage.
They were very unsuccessful at getting the crowd to bring them home.
They got Bring Them Home started, but it didn't go very far.
No, the rhythm was all off.
It was not good.
One other observation.
Mike Johnson, who just has a Cheshire Cat vibe about him.
I don't like him.
Now that you mention it, I never thought of it.
There's something about his stupid grin that I didn't recognize.
Now that you mention Cheshire Cat, that's exactly what it is.
And did you see the hammer?
The gavel?
No.
That thing's as big as his head!
It's the biggest gavel I've ever seen anywhere!
I have a short clip by Johnson.
Okay, let me see.
This is called Another Investigation.
It's an NPR clip.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is launching a bipartisan task force to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Trump.
It appears Claudio Grasso supports congressional briefings are also being held with officials about the shooting.
Speaker Johnson told Fox News that investigators will be able to move faster than a traditional committee and have the authority to force witnesses to testify.
There's not a lot of the procedural hurdles and we'll have subpoena authority for that task force as well.
It'll be compiled of Republicans and Democrats to get down to the bottom of this quickly so the American people can get the answers that they deserve.
Johnson's task force is expected to be part of several congressional probes that will look into security failures exposed by the shooting at the Trump rally in western Pennsylvania.
Now just to counter your slight snide remarks, despite the fact that he's a believer, I do not like Mike Johnson.
I don't like him either.
I don't like him.
I do like the fact that he's political enough that he was the one sitting next to J.D.
Vance's mom, who's 10 years sober, as they like to keep pointing out, and he was kibitzing with her.
And it was cute to see.
Yeah, he's smart that way.
He is smart.
We watched Hillbilly Elegy.
I'd never seen it, had not read the book.
Impressive story.
And I'm going to presume it's true.
Um, but so many people, oh no, he's manufactured.
He's manufactured.
Where I, I came away, have you seen the movie or read the book?
No, I have not seen the movie.
I have not read the book.
I came away from it thinking, wow, seriously, only in America, only in America can you go from, from the backwoods of, well, really Kentucky, but also Ohio, you know, what, what people would call white trash.
Yeah, I would say he definitely would be called white trash.
You know, and then go into, after 9-11, go into the Marines, and then with GI Bill, was able to barely scrape by in Yale.
You know, the whole story is nice.
No, first he went to Ohio State.
I'm sorry, THE Ohio State, I learned.
Well, yes, THE Ohio State, the person always says.
THE Ohio State.
Now, is there a football thing between Wisconsin and Ohio?
No, the football thing is between Ohio State and Michigan.
And it's a major, major hatred between the two schools.
Another thing I do like, he owns over $100,000 in Bitcoin.
Go J.D.
Yeah, you'd like that.
Go J.D.
That and being baptized would be your two things for that guy.
Well, on that note, what do you think?
So Trump said he has completely rewritten his speech.
He threw it out.
He said, I'm going in a completely different direction.
Besides Hulk Hogan showing up tonight, which would be awesome.
It could be.
By the way, Trump could be misdirecting.
He does that constantly.
Could be.
In fact, I never realized it until the Trump granddaughter came up, the 17-year-old, and gave that little speech and talked about him trying to psych her out on the golf course and being kind of an a-hole, which is what sports guys do to each other.
She's teaching her.
She's teaching her to be competitive.
That's what a good grandpa, paw-paw does.
Don't you?
So you don't know... Stop, stop, stop.
You're a grandpa.
Don't you mess with your kid, with your grandkid all the time?
Constantly.
You do the best you can.
Yeah, to get them prepared for life.
And you'll be able to figure out hoaxes.
Well, the parents won't do any of the good stuff.
No, that's why you give your grandson noisemakers for his birthday.
Oh yeah, you want to always give kids.
Drum kit is my favorite gift.
Drum kit.
Exactly, exactly.
So, I believe Elon Musk may be speaking tonight?
That'll be interesting.
So, let's just go back to JD Vance for a second.
I think he's a good pick.
Even though you were sure it was going to be Marco Rubio.
No doubt about it.
Looking back on it, largely because of the beard again.
What were you thinking, man?
What were you thinking?
I was thinking that Trump was, you know, of course I never heard Trump say this.
It could have been just recording.
No, you heard it from the media.
Suckered by the media.
Yes, suckered.
Suckered by the media.
So what else is new?
I mean, this is what they do.
And so I have some J.D.
Vance clips.
Oh yeah, let's do that.
To give us a little insight here.
I only have two actually.
They're both from NPR and it's talking about his techie.
This is why I think Musk will be there.
This J.D.
Vance techie.
The Republicans.
Night two of the GOP convention was a night of rivals coming together to back Donald Trump, including his final primary opponent to drop out, Nikki Haley.
I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear.
Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period.
Tonight, Ohio Senator J.D.
Vance will accept his party's vice presidential nomination.
You might be aware of Vance's roots in Appalachia, thanks to his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.
Less known are his roots in the worlds of Silicon Valley and venture capital.
As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, Vance's close ties to tech billionaires could supercharge Trump's re-election bid.
Shortly after J.D.
Vance published his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, in 2016, another career began to rise in San Francisco.
He was hired to work in a venture capital firm run by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, who is one of the most powerful figures in Silicon Valley.
Here's writer Max Chafkin, who wrote a book on Thiel that mentions Vance.
Vance worked for Teal for a relatively short amount of time, less than two years, and then moved to Ohio where he continued to invest, but clearly was starting to, you know, think about his political future.
But before his political life even started, he launched his own VC fund with backing from Teal and other tech heavy hitters like investor Mark Adresin.
In other words, he was compiling a deep pocketed tech roster that came in handy when he ran for Senate in Ohio and won with financial help from Teal and other tech investors.
And now as Trump's vice president pick, Vance is tapping his tech billionaire contacts once again, and a growing group of them are embracing the MAGA movement, says author Jafkin.
So this is also quite controversial, the Teal connection, and so the messages I receive are, he's Intel, he's Palantir, Teal, it's no good, oh no, he's all in with the intelligence agencies, he's supported by them, he's bringing in, he's a horrible guy, and I'm thinking, My uncle is one of the highest guys in the CIA.
Why are you listening to me if you think that way?
Yeah, I would say the same thing.
Why is anyone listening to you?
Yeah!
Really, stop it!
Now the other thing about this, there's a second clip and I actually have a third clip.
Well, I want to play an intermediate clip because when Trump picked, this is just a very short clip, it's only a couple seconds, but this is where the NPR says that Trump named his dick.
So, Trump named Vance's pick on Monday.
You have been speaking to Republicans in Milwaukee.
How's he being received?
Let me hear that again.
So, Trump named Vance's pick on Monday.
You have been speaking to Republicans in Milwaukee.
How's he being received?
That's what you want to hear, maybe.
I don't know.
You know, I listened to it, I slowed it down and everything, and he definitely says pick.
Pick is what I heard.
But if you drop the idea that he says dick and you listen to it, he says dick.
It's the blue dress, gold dress thing.
Silver, yes.
Anyway, let's play the second part of the J.D.
Vance clip.
It's tempting to paint this with a broad brush and say all of Silicon Valley is getting behind the former president, but what's actually happening is that Silicon Valley's right wing has been activated and persuaded to open their pockets.
A new tech-aligned political action committee called America PAC was unveiled just after Trump announced Vance as his running mate.
Elon Musk is poised to flood the group with cash.
Venture capitalists Mark Andreessen and Ben Horowitz also plan to contribute.
On the duo's podcast on Tuesday, Horowitz said he wished they didn't have to pick a side.
But the future of our business, the future of technology, new technology and the future of America is literally at stake.
Many big players in Silicon Valley traditionally sat on the sidelines for presidential elections or voted for Democrats, but now that has changed.
Samuel Hammond is an economist at the right-leaning think tank Foundation for American Innovation.
He says many of the new financial backers of Trump and Vance are placing big bets on two industries, artificial intelligence and crypto.
Whether that bet pays off depends entirely on the policy of the U.S.
government.
Jafkin, the book author who is also a reporter at Bloomberg Businessweek, says there is a fear that AI policy in the Biden White House will be too heavy handed.
They perceive, you know, to some extent, I think correctly, that Joe Biden, less so than pretty much any president that they have encountered in their lifetimes, is not as willing to accommodate them.
Newly added to the Republican Party platform, just in time for the RNC, repealing Biden's AI executive order that attempts to provide some modicum of AI oversight.
Oh, I can't.
We'll talk about AI in a moment because that's bullcrap.
You know, the thing is that Silicon Valley is mostly Democrats.
No, hold on a second.
Before Obama, they were all reading Ayn Rand and they were all wearing Rolexes.
Obama came along and they all became Democrats and they became staunch Democrats.
John Doe was always a Democrat.
Yeah, he doesn't count.
He doesn't count.
Well, he's VC, you know, and most of those Kleiner guys are Democrats.
Peirce is a Democrat.
They're all Democrats.
Yeah, but they were all reading Ayn Rand and talking all big game and Rolexes and fast cars and where's Silicon Valley?
But they were still supporting the Democrat candidates and they all were.
His jobs had meet-ups at his house.
Tim Cook had big money-gathering operations at his place.
Zuckerberg put a bunch of 400 million bucks or some ridiculous amount of money into the Wisconsin... Can we just put it this way?
Silicon Valley are globalists.
They're not right or left, really.
They're globalists.
Whoever has the best globalist path, they'll take.
That's what they are.
I'm not going to argue about that.
No.
That's absolutely true.
That's what they really are.
But they tend to be Democrats in terms of where they give their money.
I mean, in fact, if we just really think about it, the Republicans, Republican Party, the Democrats, you have lower taxes.
You know, that's about the only thing so far.
Until Trump came along and he stopped wars, which is a big problem.
So he's going to have to deal with that stopping war business.
He's going to have to still... Yeah, stopping wars is not good for business.
Well, unless you ramp up China, which he's always been an anti-China guy.
And, you know, we need big beautiful ships, subs that go so deep, deeper than others.
I'm thinking tonight.
And this really hit me because I saw Tucker did a speech.
Why are you laughing?
Why are you raffing?
Because Tucker has been showing up everywhere.
Exactly.
He shows up the first night.
He's right there.
Yes, he was right there.
He was up in that booth where Trump was.
The VIP box.
Yeah, he was.
So why is Tucker there?
I think Tucker, and he's been hanging out with Trump a lot.
You know, he goes to the UFC fights, there's Tucker.
You know?
Tucker is around Trump a lot.
In so- let's call it social settings.
So I think he has his ear.
Oh wow!
I was looking at the clip and then I cut that in the background.
Penny dropped!
So, so...
Just taking him at his word, which is usually a mistake, and maybe even some art of war, perhaps Trump is going to change the battlefield tonight.
He has said that he doesn't want to go into this whole mode about, you know, whatever he was going to do, he was going to burn everything down, he was going to, you know, just slash and burn the Democrats.
He says he's going to change it all up.
So just at face value with Vance, even Mike Johnson, with his close call with what everyone is saying at this convention, Tucker.
Again and again and again throughout history there are forces within every society because they reside in the human heart that are against people.
They are dedicated to the destruction of people and the civilizations that people built.
And if you pay any attention at all To history, you will recognize it.
It's like, wait a second, people are saying exactly the same things.
The climate people, the AI people, the transhumanist people, the Biden administration, they're saying exactly the same kinds of things, the same themes, that every other movement of this kind, and they had a million different names for them throughout history, were also saying.
That's the first thing I noticed.
The second thing I noticed is what do all of these movements over the past 2,000 years have in common?
Who do they hate most?
As you can tell by what I said about J.D.
Vance, I think you learn very much by taking a look at who's mad at whom and about what.
So if there's something that threatens you, pay close attention to what makes them angriest.
It's certainly true in my business, which is the speech business.
What are they trying to get you not to say?
What are they punishing you for saying?
Those are likely to be the truest things.
Not the falsest things.
It's not misinformation.
It's not disinformation.
It's truth.
That's why you hate it, obviously.
It's obvious now.
It took me about 10 years to figure this out.
I'm not a super genius.
But what group do they dislike most?
What group are they absolutely terrified of and hoping to eliminate?
Well, it's Christians.
That's who it is.
It's Christians.
And I'm saying this as not a particularly fervent lifelong Christian.
I am a Christian.
But I haven't spent my life, you know, surrounded by plumes of incense deep in prayer.
I've spent my life in a newsroom saying the F word.
I mean, I'm not sort of a pious person at all.
But I try to be a noticer since I'm paid to do that, and the group that makes them angriest, triggers them most, I guess we would say now, is Christians.
Christian nationalism, people pray outside abortion clinics, people celebrate Easter and not Trans Visibility Day.
These are their real enemies.
But that's been true in every revolution in the past 2,000 years.
It was a really, it was an interesting speech that Tucker gave.
And so I'm thinking, if Trump were to move this from lawfare to spiritual warfare, he has a whole different game going on.
And I'm just saying this from an analytical point of view, because here's the stories that are popping up.
New York Times, this is, this is, after Saturday, Trump's devotees see God's protection.
Christian nationalism.
He's emerging as an overt threat to democracy, Los Angeles Times.
Pro-Trump Christian extremists use scripture to justify violent goals, Washington Post.
The defiant Trump image that made critics join the cult.
I mean, it's everywhere.
Yeah, well, this is the atheists getting a little upset.
Well, on cue, someone who I don't really even like that much, I try to avoid playing any clips, is Josh Hawley.
Now, isn't Josh Hawley also a tech guy?
Not that I know of, but I mean Josh Hawley's name has come up in the conversation quite a bit.
Well here's... I'll look him up while you... Here's a clip that popped up.
Faith leaders are speaking out on what they say are the dangers of Christian nationalism and its impact on our democracy and government.
This is in response to Senator Josh Hawley's words advocating for Christian nationalism a week ago.
Our David Imelotti is breaking down the conversation for us in studio tonight.
So these religious leaders today tell me their biggest fear is violence in the aftermath of Senator Hawley's speech, one where he advocates for Christian nationalism but insists he is for religious tolerance.
I'm told by the panel of faith leaders today the issue with professing advocacy of Christian nationalism is that the stance denies religious freedom to Jews, Muslims, LGBTQ Christians, and people of color.
Some will say that I'm advocating Christian nationalism, and so I do.
That excerpt of last Monday's speech by Senator Josh Hawley continues to make waves in our country and pull together religious leaders in Missouri this Monday condemning the senior senator's words.
Christian nationalism is not compatible with religious tolerance or religious freedom because it's saying we will have a Christian nation, sorry Muslims, sorry Jews, sorry atheists, This nation isn't for you the same way it's for others.
At best, we'll tolerate you being here, but you don't get the same level of rights as others.
Christianity is 2 billion people across the world.
It's a very diverse religion.
So when they talk about a Christian nation, they really mean a very specific ...form of mostly white, but mostly evangelical, conservative, straight, patriarchal Christianity that often becomes white Christian nationalism.
Last week, Senator Hawley said his focus is keeping the left from destroying the First Amendment and religious liberty our country is built on.
It's a fact of history, not open to debate.
It's a fact of history that we were founded by Christian believers and that our fundamental ideals, including those in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, all come to us from the Christian tradition.
That's just a fact, and I think it's worth preserving.
So, um, man, there's a lot of fear about this.
No tech connection.
I thought, why did I think that?
Just the opposite.
Well, where does he come from?
Well, he actually graduated from Stanford, and he lives in Missouri, obviously, and he's another Yale-y, just like... Oh, like Vance.
Like Vance.
These Yale guys run the country, and who knows what they're up to.
So what is interesting is there's... But Hawley's been on this theocratic thing forever.
I didn't know that.
This is nothing new with him.
I didn't know that.
But he says, I'm a Christian nationalist and everyone freaks out about it.
And then, you know, so this, oh, it's a, and then you get all these.
So we really have, we have the sparkle clergy, which is, you know, God is trans.
Then we have the extreme right nut jobs, you know.
God hates fags!
You know, go in and storm abortion clinics.
No, I mean, there's all kinds of crazy things going on.
And then you have the, you know, what they call like the remnant church who believed in the history of America being, you know, the pilgrims came literally after Strengthen their faith in Leiden, of all places, and Amsterdam, and, you know, all of the first presidents.
Everything is all based upon the word of God.
So, Hawley's actual message is something I think Trump could actually use.
The left's primary purpose is to attack our spiritual unity, our common loves.
They want to destroy the affections that link us one to another and substitute a set of altogether different ideals.
The left preaches its own gospel, a creed of intersectionality, of deliverance from tradition, from family, from biological sex, and of course from God.
They regard the faith of our fathers as a fetter to be broken.
They deem our common moral inheritance as cause for repentance.
Instead of Christmas, they want Pride Month.
Instead of prayer in schools, they venerate the trans flag.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are their watchwords, their new Holy Trinity.
And they expect their preachments to be obeyed.
They may speak of tolerance, but they practice fundamentalism.
Those who resist are called deplorable.
Those who question are labeled threats to democracy.
And this is why progressives, I submit to you, have such little patience these days for working people.
They're too attached to the old ways, to the old faith of God and family, home and nation.
Now this is the left's true replacement theory.
Their true replacement agenda.
To replace the Christian ideals on which this nation was founded.
And to silence those Americans who dare still stand by them.
Boom!
That's what Trump should do tonight.
I don't think Trump's going to do that.
I don't think that's what he should do.
I think he's just falling into a trap.
If he does, I think he's going to be mostly about family and the working class.
That's why he brought on, I think, the most controversial guy.
Oh, the Teamster guy.
The head of the Teamsters.
Well, they want labor on their side.
They want their cookies.
They want to steal the cookies from the Democrats.
Steal their cookies.
They already had, they got plenty of religious stuff going on, they don't need to, Trump doesn't need to pile on.
I mean, he's not going to mention it, but I think it's going to be about family, it's going to be about unity, and it's going to be about, and he's going to slip a bunch of labor stuff in there to try to get the working class, the middle class, and blacks and Hispanics.
He's going to do a lot of crossover stuff to bring them in.
He knows that there, he can get a lot of black votes, mostly black men.
The black women still reject him.
Keep your eye on Hulk Hogan tonight, too.
See what he says.
And they're going to have Hogan, yeah, I don't know.
That'll get, well, that group, that's just a, that's kind of a... Nah, you watch, you watch.
I'm going to disagree with you on this, but it's okay.
We can disagree, we can disagree.
I don't think he's going to push that.
That's not a good idea.
I think it's a great idea.
Obviously.
Well, you would.
Obviously, I would.
Yes, I would.
You're a religious?
No, I'm a Jesus freak.
That's what I am.
No, I think he's a religious freak.
No, no, I'm not.
No, I'm a Jesus freak, not a religious freak.
It's different things.
Anyway, just to move to the AI portion, because that's very interesting that these tech bros, as Kara Swish would call them, the tech bros, oh yeah, they want AI regulation.
You know, we got to change that.
We got to get rid of it.
You can't hamper our fantastic investments.
Yeah, the way I see it, Let the AI thing collapse on its own weight.
Why should the government get involved?
Here's the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast about AI and the investments.
The biggest challenge is that over the next several years alone, we're going to spend over a trillion dollars developing AI, you know, around the infrastructure, whether it's Data center infrastructure, whether it's utilities infrastructure, whether it's the applications, a trillion dollars.
And that is the issue in my mind.
What trillion dollar problem is AI going to solve?
This is different from every other technology transition that I've been a part of over the last 30 years that I've closely followed the technology industry.
Historically, we've always had a very cheap solution replacing a very expensive solution.
Here, you have a very expensive solution that's meant to replace low-cost labor.
And that doesn't even make any sense from the jump, right?
And that's my biggest concern on AI at this point.
But isn't technology always expensive in its nascent stage, and then you improve, you evolve, you iterate, and the cost comes down dramatically?
Yeah, not always.
Let's take e-commerce and the internet as the best example of this.
From the get-go, you had a very cheap technology, e-commerce, replacing a very expensive brick-and-mortar retail solution.
Amazon was able to sell books from the first day that they started selling books on the internet because it was cheaper to sell over the internet than it was for Barnes & Noble to have retail stores.
That was cheaper from the beginning.
So there's a real life example of arguably the most important technology development of our generation, e-commerce.
That was cheaper from day one.
Fast forward 30 years, right?
And it's still cheaper.
We still have a cheaper solution replacing a more expensive solution.
Take Uber replacing limousine services, right?
So you start it cheaper and 30 years later, the internet is still enabling things to be cheaper than what the incumbent solution is.
There's nothing about AI that's cheap today, right?
And you're starting from a very high cost base.
So that part, I think there's a lot of revisionist history on about how things always start expensive and get cheaper.
Nobody started with a trillion dollars. - You know, he could have pushed back further.
It's never been more expensive than the beginning.
Never, never.
I mean, when the personal computer first came out, those things, to put them together so that it was actually useful, it cost about $3,500 for a machine.
As opposed to today, you can get a Beelink, which has more power, for $69.
With a great hard drive.
Well, that's your issue.
Yeah.
So, use condition to power.
That would be my advice.
Anyway, the point is, is that it's always been, when the $3,500 machine came out, or even you could even spend more than that, it was so much cheaper than a mini computer.
You're a mainframe.
And everything else in between.
It's always been cheap.
It always starts off cheaper.
That's your original so-called value proposition.
It's cheaper.
Value is the word.
Value.
And it's always been cheaper.
The fact that it's going to cost a trillion dollars to solve a cheap labor problem, which is like worldwide, you get cheap labor anywhere.
It is ridiculous.
This guy, I don't know who that guy was, but he nailed it.
He's from Goldman Sachs.
Well, they know what they're doing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're shorting while everyone's going long.
They're shorting while they're telling everyone else to go long.
Well, of course, that's what you do on CNBC.
So along in that vein, we've really started something with the economic indicators.
We had the hair salons.
And I think you and Horowitz were doing some of this stuff, or at least it sounded like it.
I got one from one of our producers who follows Helen or Troy, H-O-T.
By the way, these are all called coincident indicators.
It's a known thing to look out for.
I like economic indicators better, but what do you call them?
Coincident indicators.
They're economic indicators that just happen to coincide with some other action going on someplace else.
So if you can find one that's obscure and that really nails it, you can make a lot of money.
Well, here's one.
This is Helen or Troy, their hair products.
Consolidated net sales declined 12.2% driven by decline in sales of hair appliances, prestige hair care products, and humidifiers in beauty and wellness.
Yeah, Helena Troy produced some earnings recently that were off mark.
Yes.
And it became a kind of a topic of discussion for an entire day at CNBC.
Here is, I like this one, police officer in Chicago here.
Hello, thank you for your service.
And in Chicago for both police and fire departments for the last four to five years has had a large quantity of people passing up the opportunity to take the job and a lot of people in Chicago have mentioned that the economy is good and people don't want to be cops or firemen because money is loose and there's plenty of jobs.
I am roughly 35 years old and I have had at least three people that are around my age ask my advice on becoming a police officer in Chicago.
One of them works in finance, but stated it's too boom and bust and the market is brutal.
I'm also noticing a lot of people in my age group, 28 to 35, moving back home with parents.
I think we can assume 2020, 2021 was the generation's 2008, but covered up by COVID like has been discussed on the show.
He feels that when people start to look for jobs at police and fire, that that is an economic indicator of rough times ahead.
That's not- I think we could have the cop- That's an interesting thesis.
I think we could have the cop indicator.
And then- The cop indicator.
Yes, the cop indicator.
And then, the most mind-boggling- ...segment on CNBC!
All the orange pill boys are jacked!
As you know, I was a... Mrs. Larry Fink.
Yes!
I was a proud skeptic!
And I studied it, learned about it, and I came away saying, okay, you know, my opinion five years ago was wrong, here's my opinion today, this is what I believe in today, I believe the opportunity today.
I believe Bitcoin is legitimate.
I'm not trying to say there's not misuses, like everything else, but it is a legitimate financial instrument that allows you to have maybe uncorrelated, non-correlated type of returns.
I believe it is an instrument that you invest in when you're more frightened, though.
It is an instrument when you believe that countries are debasing their currency, debasing their currency by excess deficits, and some countries are.
I believe we have countries where you're frightened of your everyday existence.
And if you have an opportunity to invest in something that is outside your country's control, then you can have more financial control.
And so I'm a major believer that there is a role for Bitcoin in portfolios.
I believe you're going to see that as one of the asset classes that we all look at.
I look at it as digital gold, as I said before, and I do believe there's a real need for everyone to look at it as one alternative to, I would say, the optimism that I have in the world.
And I believe there's a great industrial use for it, and I think a lot of people are missing that.
Industrial use.
What's the industrial use?
I don't know.
Is it a hedge?
He believes it.
I have no idea.
He do believes it.
He do believes it.
We've come a long way from beating babies for the internet.
That guy is the last guy I'd listen to.
The DEI guy.
The BlackRock has got their heads up Biden's ass.
And they make no money.
They're very unsuccessful.
Oh, they make plenty of money, but they're not making money because of this offhanded advice that they're giving other people.
Okay.
You know they have an ETF, right?
It's a very successful Bitcoin ETF.
So they do put their money where their mouth is.
I don't know how successful that ETF is.
ETFs are not a good idea.
Okay.
Because they naturally degrade, just naturally.
It's a real problem with ETFs, unless you're shorting them.
Alright, ETFs, no good.
I cannot paré your comment about ETFs.
All I know is they have one.
We can take a break here or we could get to the other big news which just it spanned all the networks for about an hour and then it disappeared but man this was a doozy.
Senator Bob Menendez left.
What was it?
Here it is.
Senator Bob Menendez left federal court today a convicted criminal.
I'm deeply, deeply disappointed by the jury's decision.
That jury finding him guilty of 16 counts including bribery, extortion, and acting as a foreign agent.
I have never violated my public oath.
I have never been anything but a patriot of my country.
Now, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is joining a group of more than 30 Democrats calling for the Senator's resignation.
Prosecutors spent nine weeks proving Menendez accepted thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, and a new Mercedes in exchange for actions that in part benefited the Egyptian and Qatari governments.
They had another clip and they had his nickname.
He was with Qatari now.
I thought it was Egypt.
How many governments in the Middle East was he working for?
All kinds of governments.
Was this the... Someone had his nickname here.
I think this is it.
Senator Bob Menendez is facing calls to resign after being convicted of corruption.
Prosecutors said the New Jersey Democrat abused his power as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by doing favors for Egypt and several businessmen as part of a scheme that involved extortion and bribery.
Those bribes included gold bars, a luxury car, and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Menendez is vowing to appeal.
Now, somewhere they call him Gold Bar Bob, which I like.
Gold Bar Bob, everybody!
But that guy's, I mean, and I still think it's his wife.
I think he got really screwed by his wife.
Because she's the one that introduced all the connections.
She's a mover and a shaker, that woman.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C's in the Coup Coffin.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only, Mr. John C. DeForey!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam McRae.
In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning, you trolls, how you doing?
Well that's interesting.
We are about an almost half an hour late on the troll count.
Last Thursday we had 1873 and that was after about an hour and 10 minutes.
Today 2319 at a buck 50.
Hello trolls!
Good to have you here.
That's the number that used to be common.
Yeah but it would have been much higher if I had done it half an hour ago.
So, the trolls are tuning in, and they're doing that at trollroom.io.
Some of you, hopefully more, increasingly, are using a modern podcast app.
Support your independent podcast app developers.
You're going to be very sorry.
Podcasts will start disappearing from Apple and Spotify.
Oh, it's so easy.
Yep, okay.
Go to podcast... Boom, they're gone.
They're gone.
And poof!
Yeah, that's right.
Podcastapps.com.
And of course you get all the cool features, which includes artwork in the chapters.
You get chapters, which are, I mean, no one really has this chapter feature.
You get transcripts, you get all kinds of fun extras that are just not available.
And you get these modern podcast apps alert you through the Podping system, which is a decentralized notification system.
Blockchain.
Within 90 seconds of us publishing.
So you go ahead, you know... It's a blockchain?
We have a blockchain?
It's a blockchain, yes.
The PodPing system runs on a blockchain.
Why?
So it's completely decentralized.
No one owns it.
So anybody can ping the blockchain.
It's not... I don't want to own it.
But where is the blockchain that you can ping?
It's in the cloud.
It's a blockchain space.
You can ping somebody.
Somebody has to be hosting something.
No, it's like hundreds of thousands of people are hosting this blockchain.
What if they all stop?
Yeah, okay.
All right, John.
They're not all going to stop.
But if they all stop, then we have other problems.
So that blockchain has been around for 15 years.
What if the net goes down?
Yeah, I don't think you'll be worried about your podcast if the net goes down.
You won't be getting your podcast.
And we can say wherever you don't get your podcasts.
Those images come from our artists who understand the value for value system extremely well.
They like to give us value back for the value they receive from the show, which is what we've been doing.
It'll be 17 years in October.
And instead of taking corporate... You know what?
Someone got mad.
Um, and said that your tip of the day, which was, I think it was a book?
No, it was a water filter.
Was it a water filter?
Oh yeah, the uh, the clearly filtered filter.
Yeah, and you said you'll get it on Amazon and then immediately be like, man, that's insulting!
You got native ads!
I said...
A native ad for a water filter three hours and ten minutes into the show.
Boy, we're rockin' and rollin', aren't we?
No, the whole point of being Value for Value is we can talk about actual products we like and that we use.
Yeah, that's the idea.
We do that all the time with different computers.
I mentioned Beelink earlier.
Oh, Beelink, oh yeah.
Oh, they're paying us off.
They're losing money on each computer.
I mean, they're paying us off.
That are too conspiratorial.
No, it's just guys like that.
The guy's a dick.
No, he's not.
He apologized.
And once I said, you're... I said, quite frankly, I find this insulting.
I didn't mean it that way.
Oh, okay.
Well... Then how did you mean it?
People write stuff.
I understand how it works.
You know, people... Some guy wrote a note in.
He says, I offended John.
He goes on and on and on.
And I'm thinking, What?
I don't even know what he's talking about.
Was that the Brahmin?
No, it wasn't the Brahmin.
The Brahmin I do offend.
Yeah, and all of India hates you.
The Brahmin deserves a couple of... He lords it over everybody.
He's a Brahmin, that's what they are.
If I were you, I wouldn't go to Bangladesh anytime soon.
I'm not going to Bangladesh.
You won't be there anyway.
Time, talent, and treasure is the way that it works.
You can hit somebody in the mouth, turn them on to the show, get them to donate, call someone out as a douchebag, support us however you can.
I mean, it's in kind when you're doing things that would cost us money like websites, you know, Void Zero.
Art.
Well, I'm going to get to Art.
Void Zero does our infrastructure.
Everybody pray for Mark.
He has all kinds of intestinal issues.
Oh, this is not good.
No, no.
In fact, it's really not good.
You know, he can't really sit down even.
Oh, I should give him a call.
Yeah, you know what?
He would really appreciate that.
And he's been with the show for, what, 15 years, I think.
At least 15 of our 17.
Yeah, he came in after Mr. Oil.
No, he was there before because he had the chat.
Okay.
Which, it's, you know, the troll room still is on his server.
He's just, you know, it's just running for everybody.
Which is no agenda stream, which is, you know, where all the trolls hang out.
So yes, we do have artists who like to give us art.
Some of them donate too, financially, but the art is just phenomenal for us to be able to choose.
There's a little slim pickings for us on the last show, for a number of reasons we'll get to, but first we want to thank our Dutch master Dame Kenny Bem.
We chose her volume knob, her rhetoric volume knob.
That was under protest.
Yes, under protest.
Do explain.
It was not my favorite.
Well, you had another cheesecake.
I didn't see it as a possible fallback, but you were rejecting everything.
Well, here was the main problem.
So we kind of liked the idea of Trump as Van Gogh.
And Scaramanga had probably the best version of Trump as Van Gogh, but you didn't see it because there was John's favorite boobs front and center, which of course... No, that wasn't the reason.
The boobs were great.
Scaramanga's boobs.
No, there were two of the Dutch, there were two of this, the Trump and the patched ear.
One of them you liked, which was Tantaniel's.
And I like Scaramanga's, they're right next to each other.
And I like Scaramanga's not because of the heavy topped woman, although that was not, I didn't think it hurt the piece by any means.
But Scaramanga did a tremendous job of making Van Gogh look like Trump.
He did.
Tantaniel did not.
Agreed?
And there were a number of people who did Trump ear things, which we were kind of against, but the Van Gogh thing was funny.
But they had the wrong ear!
Yes, there was one piece in particular that- Correct the record.
Correct the record.
Had the wrong ear.
Correct the record.
Has the wrong ear.
Come on, would that take any talent?
Did you see Darren O'Neill sent us his prompts for his artwork?
Yes, I saw the prompts.
Darren O'Neill has decided to eschew his own artistic capabilities in favor of comic strip bloggers' prompt jockey AI.
And he sent a... We had to, because of the show before, we demanded that he send us the prompts.
Send us your prompts!
And so he sent a whole, a very nice presentation, which is actually something I could, I should put in the, uh, Substack column just as, as, as is.
It was quite, it was quite amazing how really simple it is.
I mean, in that regard, and he only pays 20 bucks a month, I'm sure it's costing somebody money somewhere.
Believe, you know, cause he, just the example for that one piece that he did, He, the thing coughed out about 10 pieces at least, and each one of those has got to cost a number of dollars a piece to generate by the AI.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For 20 bucks a month, he's killing it.
Yeah.
It's a moneymaker.
So the rhetoric button I felt was usable, and you ended up agreeing.
Yes, I did.
Let's see what other... You know, there were other ear things, but I think we both felt like, mm, like gummy ears, okay.
Yeah, we didn't know.
That was a little sick.
We're not Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway.
Who do you think we are?
Yeah, we try to keep the... yeah.
Yeah, but we're also not going to glorify... And Trump put the fist in the air and the flag in his back and all that.
We're not going to glorify anybody, no.
No, we're not going to do that.
It's just a, you know, it's just a... It's just, no.
We need, we're talking about creative.
We need creative.
Yes, creative.
And creative means creative.
It comes from your soul.
Yeah?
That's why, that's why Darren... Or your training in some cases.
Yeah, that's why Darren O'Neill is one of the top of the leaderboard.
He has soul!
Even though he is just a prompt jockey.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Well, we want to thank all of our artists, of course, because they provide just a very valuable service, and that's how Value for Value works.
We really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for doing that.
And now we go to the treasure component of our value for value model, our executive and associate executive producers.
Go to noagendadonations.com to learn how to support us with your finances.
We do need that because this is all we have.
You know who reached out to me?
Podcast One.
Are you familiar with Podcast One?
The name rings a bell from years ago.
Well, Podcast One went public.
And they have Adam Carolla and... Oh, okay, that group.
And they said, hey, a lot of our users are telling us we need to get you guys into our network.
And I replied, and you know, they're like, hey, we provide money.
We got money.
We help you monetize with ads and money.
And I said, well, you're going to have to make it extremely attractive for us to leave our producers behind.
So, I don't know if you can provide... They won't do that.
Of course not.
If you can provide... To them, money is like, you know... An exit strategy.
I'm looking... Money is like, you know, 50 bucks.
I mean, most podcasters that are part of these networks don't make anything.
Well, Corolla's making something.
Is he?
Oh, yeah.
He's definitely making something.
And he got stock.
Yeah, stock.
It probably was useful.
He got... You want to hear this note?
Yeah, play the note.
Play the note?
I can't play the note.
I can read you the note.
Let me see where it is.
Um, hi there!
That's a good start.
That's the kind of notes I get on LinkedIn.
I'm the development coordinator at Podcast One, a full-service podcast production, marketing and advertising network.
I want to introduce myself and personally reach out as we would love to work with you on the No Agenda podcast.
Our staff has been submitting their favorite podcasts and your shows come up from multiple fans at our company.
Yeah, sure.
If you're open to it, we'd love to set up a call or grab lunch if you're in LA.
Yeah.
Have you ever listened to our show?
To see if there's an opportunity to work together or at the very least make a formal... Answer no!
We limit the number of shows on our slate.
These are real Hollywood people, John.
Which has contributed to the five plus year longevity of hits like... Are you ready for these hits?
I'm ready.
Lady Gang.
Oh yeah.
Off the Vine, A&E's Slate, that's Arts and Entertainment Network, the Adam Carolla Network, the Kyle Lowry Network, and Jordan Harbinger!
Just recently we launched with Cody Rigsby.
Have you heard of any of these people?
No, Adam Carolla.
We support with revenue generating a top-class sales team across the country headed by Sue McNamara who ran sales for Howard Stern for 20 years.
John, think of the opportunity.
I'd rather... I'd rather be dead.
I mean, seriously.
I would rather thank our executive and associate executive producers twice a week for sending us the value that they get out of the show.
And that's really all that it is.
It's just sending us the value that you get out of the show of any amount.
And the thing is, one of the things we've worked out on this show is lack of dependency.
Correct.
Because you lose one advertiser because you said something stupid.
And then we can't pay the rent.
Well, you could say something stupid and make us lose the advertiser too.
In fact, we used to, we don't do it so much as we used to, at the end of the show when we do our post-mortem to get the art and do the rest of it and talk about the show.
We used to say, you know, we would have been fired for this, this, and this.
I think we still do it, we just don't pay as much attention to it.
All the things we do on this show because we're not limited by worrying about the advertisers.
Exactly.
We're not limited to what we say or what we do.
We're only limited by liability issues.
And we keep each other loose.
And slander.
We can't slander people.
We don't do that.
We're responsible to each other.
Right.
Right.
That's it.
That's the ticket.
And best of all, remember, no meetings.
That's the real reason right there.
We don't want to meet with anyone.
Especially at lunch in L.A.
What's that big fast-moving consumer goods group with the E, the Dutch group?
What's their name?
They do all the soap stuff?
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's their name?
They do Dove.
Well, you know what?
How about this?
Listen, guys, we've got a great buy opportunity from Eric Prince with his unplugged phone.
He's going to give you a phone.
And you know what?
We'd love for you to interview him on the show.
Unilever, thank you very much, Osteen Berger.
You said E. What?
You said the name starts with an E. Yeah, I was wrong.
Yeah, that's why I couldn't get it.
Unilever, of course.
Monster company.
The guys at Unilever, they really would love to advertise with Dove, but can you dial back the DEI hate?
Because they're really big on black skin.
That's the kind of stuff we'd have to deal with.
Can you imagine that?
Yes.
In fact, what you just said was from, obviously, extracted from a meeting you've already had years ago when you were doing other work.
And the women are always the same type of women.
Yes, they're all the same.
Hey, the team has been talking about your last episode.
Can we have a couple of notes for you?
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
If you support us with $200 or above, you get an Associate Executive Producer credit, which is real.
You can use it anywhere, including IMDB.
You can open up an account there, and they will be recognized as such.
And we read your note, and the $300 and above, you're an Executive Producer, and Lubor Benda is from Czechoslovakia.
Rudnik, to be exact.
Where's Rudnik?
Rudnik.
And came in with a beautiful note that just said, love, love, love, and sent us $1,000.
Yeah, that was pretty generous.
That's love, love, love.
Donating is loving.
Proof.
Thank you so much, Lubor.
Did you get the note that the guy from Argentina sent us?
I did.
Actually, I'll read it to you.
That was very interesting.
Hold on, I have it here.
As requested, I hereby confirm, I am a DH Unplugged Argentinian listener.
I guess you guys were talking about it.
I don't know of anybody else.
However, a bunch of people listen to No Agenda here, all hit by me.
Still need to find someone I don't know who listens to the show.
I live in a rural setting in Uruguay.
A few houses in the woods.
I can assure you, you can walk around the hood and you might be able to hear the No Agenda Show playing.
You can't miss the sound of goat karma in the woods.
It's hilarious.
I personally listened to the show live walking around with a speaker.
You've got friends down here, don't forget.
We don't have much cash, but we are not poor.
Come for vacation.
We live by the ocean.
Santiago.
Well, we just might take you up on that, Santiago.
I hear Argentina's beautiful this time of year.
Well, Uruguay's supposed to have some tremendous food.
And soccer players.
Andrew Alexander's next on the list, and he's from your neck of the woods, Fredericksburg, Texas.
Hey!
And he came in with 5-4-3-7-5.
A neighbor!
Hi, team!
We live in F-burg, which I guess is what they call it there.
No, we call it Fred.
I don't know why you said F-burg.
Fred.
Makes me suspicious.
We live in F-burg, and have been on the sidelines of this shift for about a decade.
Come by our place in Cool Water Ranch.
We have an insane barn with restored neons from Mexico and 3,000 collectible liquor bottles.
Huh.
He's a hoarder.
I should go there.
Come visit, John.
You'll love it in Fred.
Note from my friend Elias, a big fan of yours, you should send them something, this is the note from Elias, you should send them something about how your best friend dated a girl who testified against Hunter Biden and hit you in the mouth, aka told you about the show, and how he almost got shot by the Secret Service for grinding on Malia Obama while she was a Harvey Weinstein intern, so there's no way that guy on the roof was allowed to take that shot unless it was a setup.
Best wishes, Andrew.
Do we have the best producers or what?
I guess so.
Boots on the ground while I was grinding Malia Obama.
You guys are the best.
Sir Smidiot.
Smidiot.
Shreveport, Louisiana, 350, 93.
John and Adam, first let me get this out of the way.
Rodney, how are you still a douchebag?
And Robert, Welcome to Noah Jen The Nation!
You are now a douchebag!
Sorry I haven't donated in a while, to be honest.
I'm donating because of John's giant ear bandage prediction.
Just keep up the great work!
Four more years!
And he wants a couple of jingles here, he wants, oh he wants, he wants the dumps, he wants Trump come, and then he wants, don't eat me Joe Biden.
Okay, well we have all of that.
And he ends it by saying, regards Sir Smidiot, Smidiot, rhymes with idiot.
Okay, gotcha.
They did dumps.
They call them dumps.
Big massive dumps.
I'm going to come.
Don't eat me, Bojitan.
You're scary.
So scary.
You're right.
Thank you.

Yeah.
Yeah, okay.

And we'll be reading the rest of our producers down to the 50 in a few minutes.
Once again, thanks to our executive and associate executive producers for producing episode 1678.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
I would like to start this off on a lighter note.
It's the second half of the show.
Alright.
Oh, second half of show?
It's the second half of the show.
Oh, okay.
But it's not second half of show material?
No.
Oh, okay.
It's just the second half of the show.
I mean, you confused me.
Oh, you were going to play the jingle.
Don't do that.
Okay.
But you can play this jingle, Ask Adam.
All right, everybody, it's Ask Adam time.
What could be going on?
This is actually two Ask Adams, one after the other.
What?
So let's start with Ask Adam Puzzle Q. OK, and people should know that John sends me his clips in the morning.
I don't listen to him.
We don't coordinate.
This is a performance that we do together.
So I have no idea what's coming.
And here is my Ask Adam Puzzle Q. A Q for question, I presume.
One of the world's most famous puzzles turns 50 this year.
A puzzle.
A famous puzzle.
Turns 50.
A famous puzzle.
I have to come up with something.
What could... The troll room was already telling me.
I don't want to cheat.
The troll room is helping you cheat.
I just looked over and they gave it away.
I don't appreciate that troll room.
Here's your answer.
Yes, the Rubik's Cube.
The creator is an 80-year-old Hungarian architect, Erno Rubik.
Yes, the Rubik's Cube.
The creator is an 80-year-old Hungarian architect, Erno Rubik.
Back in the day, he was a professor in Budapest, fascinated with geometry, and he created a prototype in 1974 that took him months to solve.
So the creator of the Rubik's Cube, Mr. Rubik himself, was stumped by his own inventions.
Very difficult.
I would not have guessed that.
And in fact, 50 years, and I'm thinking back, was I 10 when that came out?
I guess so.
I have no idea.
That is crazy.
You know, my nephew, Connor.
Connor is from the elite side of the family.
He did his submission to, I don't know if it was, I think Juilliard?
That he plays a classical piece while solving the Rubik's Cube.
It's a great video.
Yeah, that's talent.
I gotta find it.
Yeah, he's from the Buckley side of the family.
That brings in another Ask Adam Q. A bonus!
The second part of this is this one.
Now, half a century later, about 500 million Rubik's Cubes, official versions and lookalikes, have been sold worldwide.
And solving it has become a competitive sport.
The World Cube Association.
There's an association for everything.
Yeah, that's what the script says.
I wouldn't know.
Now, the World Cube Association says the current world record set last year is just over Oh, okay.
How much time?
Yeah, how much time does it take to solve a Rubik's Cube puzzle by the number one guy?
I've seen some of these.
I'm going to say seven.
Oh, this is astonishing.
I'm going to say seven seconds.
Play the answer.
Last year is just over three seconds.
You can watch it on YouTube.
Three seconds must be a very short video.
Wow!
Three seconds?
I don't know how that's possible.
Except I'll say this.
Now our old spreadsheet guy, a friend of ours, is Eric Mackey.
Yes.
The guy who can do a Rubik's Cube in three seconds sees things differently than you do.
Because he can look at it, and then they say, go, and he's got it done in three seconds.
Eric is one of these guys.
He does not the Rubik's Cube so much, but we used to do this all the time at the table.
You could take one of those crazy puzzles that have a bunch of, you know, things hooked together in some awkward way and you're supposed to pull on it and you try to get this thing on.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Those things, the Curly Q metal things?
Yeah, those Curly Q metal things.
And I would say I would have one and it took me like five minutes jerking around and getting the thing to fall apart.
Eric, and this is God's truth, and he does this with other things too.
He can like pack a container.
Yeah, he has kind of a Rain Man vibe.
He can count things in a room and do all kinds of stuff like that.
I don't know if he does that, but with the puzzles he does the following.
You put it in front of him and he looks at it.
For about, I don't know, 15 seconds?
And then just grabs it and boom, it's all apart.
It's just instant.
It's like as soon as he picks it up, it's in the 10 pieces that it was designed to be, you know, that's part of the puzzle.
And then he can put it right back together.
It's unbelievable.
And so I have to assume the Rubik's Cube guy, and I've heard this from a lot of engineers have this capability.
Chet Heath, who did one of the buses for the IBM PC, he said he didn't realize that he can look at a bus and he can see immediately why it won't work just by what the pinouts are.
It's not going to work.
Contrary to popular belief, Eric actually has a family with three kids.
He has three kids, yeah, and they're all happy campers.
He figured it out!
Anyway, there are people that have... That was a good one.
You, by the way, you're kind of that way with sound.
Answer the question.
Go.
Anyway, there are people that have, you know, that.
That was a good one.
You, by the way, have you, you're kind of that with sound.
What?
You're kind of one of these guys.
You're seeing your.
Oh yeah, definitely.
Oh, sound.
It's big with me.
Sound, sound.
I like doing sound.
Let me do a little light clippage here.
This was kind of fun because I saw this story six days ago.
And I think I might have clipped it and like, who cares?
The reason why it was interesting to me is I built a website back in the on-ramp days before it became Think New Ideas.
And it was the website you visit more than once a month, tampax.com.
That was the actual slogan on the website.
And so there was this study that came out and I had clips I was like yeah that's something I should probably probably you know put on the back burner if we have some time and today a new report comes out and I'll play the original report in a moment.
Thanks for being with us again.
Good morning.
So we're going to do some health headlines of the day.
First off, I think we did this story where they said metal was detected in tampons.
Should people be worried about this?
Talk about it.
Okay, this sounds terrifying.
Bottom line, this is nothing to panic about.
So what's this all about?
I got a lot of media last week.
Basically some scientists tested to look for the presence of metals in tampons.
All kinds of tampons.
Every brand.
Organic.
Inorganic.
And they found that there was metal in all of them.
Arsenic.
Cadmium.
Lead.
So this sounds terrible, right?
But there's three reasons that no one needs to panic.
Number one is there's no evidence that these metals get outside the tampon, much less get absorbed by the body.
Number two, we're talking trace amounts, teeny, teeny, tiny amounts that are unlikely to be clinically significant at all.
But number three is the big one.
You're already getting your daily dose of arsenic in your kale salad, in your arugula, in any fruits or vegetables that either grow or are in the water because we have metals in our water supply in the ground.
So this idea that you're going to put this tampon on your body and it's going to do terrible things to you is not based in science.
This is clickbait.
This is fear-mongering.
And in fact, the people that wrote this article said, hey, this is like no big deal.
We just want people to know this.
And let's just talk about organic for a minute.
The reason why I play this is because I happen to know how these companies operate and the choice a young woman makes between different menstrual cycle products We'll probably determine their usage for the rest of their life.
So Tampax was really all in on trying to get young girls as soon as possible to use their product.
And what this was, was a bogus-ass stupid study from the makers of cup products, which is now all over social media.
Girls going, oh look at this!
They're all getting paid for it.
So they put out this fear-mongering report.
As you can well imagine, I have a teenage daughter and I'm thinking about this, you know, for her as well.
And so we are going to spend a bit of time talking about alternatives for people that they can consider if they are concerned about this.
OK, well, let me tee you up on that.
Let me tee you up.
This is NBC.
Let me tee you up.
Let's read what the script says.
Okay, well, let me tee you up on that.
What are some of those alternatives?
I think people know, obviously, pads are an option.
There's those little, like, cup things too.
Yeah, exactly.
So there are two things that work kind of similarly.
There are menstrual cups, there are menstrual discs, which essentially sort of... So this was a native ad of horrible proportion.
Unbelievable.
Scaring people into thinking there's arsenic in your tampon.
This is what goes on in the mainstream media constantly as supposed news.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's disgusting.
Yes.
And then we get called out because I recommend a water filter.
Well, there's that.
It's your own fault!
You did it.
You brought that on yourself.
Hey, let me tee you up, John.
Let me tee you up.
I need to be teed up!
I'm gonna tee you up with a very short report from the King's speech, which was Prince Charles, and this is the piece that was sent to me.
A bill will be introduced to progressively increase the age at which people can buy cigarettes.
And impose limits on the sale and marketing of vapes.
Vapes!
Ministers will also legislate to restrict advertising of junk food to children, along with the sale of high caffeine energy drinks to children.
A bill will be introduced to progressively increa- Oh, sorry.
So there you go.
Progressively making it difficult to get vapes, get your hand on vapes and energy drinks and junk food.
The King is very obsessed.
It's worse than that.
I have a bunch of clips from the King's speech that were done by N-T-D-U-K, which I normally don't click from.
Interesting, okay.
So they have, these are four clips, and they stay, and the fourth clip is the kicker.
But let's listen to the basic introduction.
Is this like a State of the Union?
What exactly is the King's Speech?
The King's speech is confirming what the new party is up to, and agreeing with it, and promoting it, and it seems to me that's what it is.
The Queen, I think, used to be the Queen's speech, but she never got so involved.
This guy's almost like wanting to be a governor.
I don't like this guy, this Charles.
No, he's a douche.
Sorry, sorry UK.
He's definitely in on, you know, all this This is, if you listen to these four clips, this is Britain turning socialist.
As far as I'm concerned.
I'm sorry, as far as I'm concerned.
As far as you're concerned.
King Charles has set out the new government's legislative agenda.
The King's speech, delivered within a ceremony full of pageantry, promises a government of service focused on reviving the economy and tackling issues from an acute housing shortage to the cost of living crisis.
King Charles set out Prime Minister Keir Starmer's legislative agenda on Wednesday, promising a government of service focused on reviving the economy.
Charles told the gathered peers and MPs the government's programme would be based upon the principles of security, fairness and opportunity for all.
Stability will be the cornerstone of my government's economic policy.
And every decision will be consistent with its fiscal rules.
The package of more than 35 bills will focus on growing the economy, reforming planning laws to make it easier to build homes, speeding up the delivery of major infrastructure projects, improving transport and creating jobs.
My ministers will get Britain building, including through planning reform, As they seek to accelerate the delivery of high quality infrastructure and housing.
They will also pursue sustainable growth by encouraging investment in industry, skills and new technologies.
Now, do they need the approval of the king in order to implement?
Because it says my ministers.
I thought it was just... Technically, they do.
I thought there was just a formality.
It's tradition.
Well, it's a formality, but turns out... Yeah, turns out.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And so this guy, who is a socialist, as far as I'm concerned, he continues, and we'll go to clip two.
The government also set out plans to gradually rationalize the passenger rail network and set affordable fares to draw people back onto trains.
Wait, did he say nationalize?
Yeah, nationalize.
This decision would mostly reverse the privatization of the railways, conducted in the 1990s by the then-Conservative government.
Taking together these policies will enhance Britain's position as a leading industrial nation, and enable the country to take advantage of new opportunities Wait, wait, let me hear that again.
and wealth creation. - This piece delivered in the House of Lords by the King with all the traditional pomp and pageantry includes many of the policies championed in Labour's manifesto.
- Measures to modernize the Constitution will be introduced, including House of Lords reform to remove the rights of hereditary-- - Wait, wait, let me hear that again.
- Measures to modernize-- - I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna go back.
- Includes many of the policies championed in Labour's manifesto.
Measures to modernize the Constitution will be introduced, including House of Lords reform to remove the rights of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the Lords.
Wow, you're getting kicked out!
They're revising the Constitution, and I'm sure they have an amendment process.
Don't they?
What is the Constitution?
The Magna Carta?
Well, no, it's just whatever it is.
I don't know what it is, but they're going to change it and the House of Lords guys are done.
Yeah.
So they're basically going to limit it.
I mean, the House of Lords has always been kind of like, you know, they just kind of rubber stamp stuff.
But they're funny.
But they're funny.
And they're funny, but they're not dangerous and need to be, like, kicked out of office.
This is really extreme changes that people are... I think it's going to screw up the country, but I think it's all part of the socialist agenda that he's falling for because he's all in on climate change and all these other ideas.
Useless eaters.
So let's go to clip three.
Behind me here in Parliament, King Charles set out Sir Keir Starmer's plans for government in his King's Speech.
It contained 40 pieces of proposed legislation.
Some of the key bills announced include a bill to toughen spending rules.
This seeks to strengthen the role of the economic watchdog, the Office for Budgetary Responsibility, to guarantee that major fiscal decisions are properly scrutinised.
There is a crime and policing bill which will include a ban on zombie style knives.
It will also include a new type of anti-social behaviour order and stronger penalties for shoplifting.
Labour's landmark bill to boost workers' rights is referred to as a new deal for working people.
It includes a ban on zero hour contracts Giving workers rights immediately on starting a job and a crackdown on the practice of fire and rehire.
There's a strengthened version of the Renters Reform Bill.
This retains a ban on no-fault evictions and would bring in measures to boost renters' rights.
Then, onto planning, infrastructure and energy, there's a bill to reform procedures to accelerate house building across the country.
The government is seeking to re-nationalize nearly all passenger rail services within five years, a key priority for the Labour government.
And they bill to establish GB Energy, a state-owned company which will oversee investments in decarbonization projects such as offshore wind.
Wow, how are they going to pay for this?
Inflate the pound?
Oh, that's an interesting point.
I didn't even think of that.
Hey, it could be cheap for us to go visit.
It's already kind of... Yeah, but everything... I mean, the pound is worth less now.
It's only a buck twenty.
I mean, I used to go there, it was a buck sixty.
It was always a buck sixty, it seems to me.
Yeah, I remember that.
Sure.
But everything's overpriced now, so it doesn't really... Still a jip.
Now...
So the last thing is the kicker, which is this one.
And this is a classic socialist idea that is incorporated into these 40 parts of the labor manifesto.
And the funny thing is they use a manifesto term, which fits right in.
Here we go.
Moving on to AI, another bill which creates binding rules to govern the development of artificial intelligence.
This legislation will enhance legal safeguards with a focus on general purpose technology that underlines AI products such as CHAT's GPT.
In regards to border security, this government plans to strengthen Britain's borders by modernizing the asylum and immigration system and establishing a new UK border security command with counter-terror powers to tackle organized crime.
Labour is also resurrecting the previous government's proposed ban on anyone born after 2009 buying tobacco.
And alongside devolving powers to mayors and councils, Labour is seeking major constitutional reform too.
Reform of the House of Lords is on the table, which would include removing hereditary peers.
There's also a hint at potentially lowering the voting age to 16.
Wow!
Well, every country gets the government she deserves.
That's what y'all voted for.
Because you hated the conservatives.
Like, oh, let those labor guys in.
They've been chomping at the bit.
Lower the age to 16.
That is always a winner if you're a socialist.
They are going to throw you in irons.
And what do you think those reforms?
Oh, you won't be able to say anything?
You won't be able to say anything?
Already can't?
No, they're already cracked down on social media in the UK.
Wow.
People get arrested for nothing.
There's unconfirmed rumors coming in that Chinese President Xi Jinping had a stroke.
Oh, I haven't heard that.
I know that today's news from out of China was that they got rid of a number of people from the ministry.
Could be a palace coup going on.
Who knows?
I do.
I want to play.
I just wanted this back to Biden for just a second.
Why not?
I wanted to play these distant two clips from his Lester Holt interview.
Yeah, he was pretty angry.
He was lit.
He was mad and he kept saying, look, look, look, look.
I mean, when you hear somebody saying, look, as much as Biden does, this is very defiant.
But he's also half brain dead.
They only have two clips, but the first clip is the good one.
Well, let's talk about the conversation this has started.
And it's really about language, what we say out loud and the consequences of those.
You called your opponent an existential threat on a call a week ago.
You said it's time to put Trump in the bullseye.
There's some dispute about the context, but I think you appreciate... I didn't say crosshairs, I was talking about focus on.
Look, the truth of the matter was, what I guess I was talking about at the time was, there was very little focus on Trump's agenda.
Yeah, the term was bullseye.
It was a mistake.
I didn't say crosshairs.
I meant focus on him.
Focus on what he's doing.
Focus on his policies.
Focus on the number of lies he told in the debate.
There's a whole range of things.
Look, I'm not the guy that said, I want to be a dictator on day one.
He didn't say that.
He said he'll be a dictator for one day.
Lies!
Nice!
Biden's a liar.
But this idea that, you know, I said crosshairs, I mean bullseye, I mean focus on it.
That was great.
And so we have part, the second part is not as entertaining, but it's funny too.
And I asked him about his struggle in the debate and the calls from some Democrats for him to step aside.
Do you feel like you've weathered the storm on this issue of whether you should be on the ticket or not?
Look, 14 million people voted for me to be the nominee in the Democratic Party, okay?
And listen to them.
In your last TV interview you were asked if you had watched the debate and your answer was, I don't think so, no.
Have you since seen it?
I've seen pieces of it.
I'm not watching the whole debate.
The president also responding to news of Donald Trump's new vice presidential pick.
I want to ask you about, just shortly before you and I sat down, former President Trump named his vice presidential pick J.D.
Vance.
What does that tell you, his qualities, what does that tell you about former President Trump's values in terms of who he will surround himself with in the next administration, should he win?
Well, it's not unusual.
He's going to surround himself with people who agree completely with him.
I have a voting record.
I support him.
Even though if you go back and listen to the things J.D.
Vance said about Trump.
You know, I think I have angrier clips from Joe from that interview.
If you don't, if you will indulge me.
That's fine, that's all I got is those two because I thought they were meaningful.
But yeah, well he was, the clips I should have gotten I didn't get, but I just couldn't get a good, the reason I didn't get them, these are the clips from the NCAA speech.
I have one clip.
Not NCAA, but the NAACP speech.
I have one.
Where he's, he's, we're good.
He's screaming, he's yelling, it's like gone nuts.
I mean, he goes crazy.
It's one of those crazy speeches where he's unhinged.
But I found two copies of it and they were too echoey.
I wasn't going to run them to you.
Yeah, they're no good.
They're no good.
They were no good.
They're no good.
Here's a very, very short one.
Definitely my favorite.
One of my best friends, when I was a lifeguard in the projects, he was, uh, his name is, his nickname is Mouse.
Yeah, this is one he got in the, he tangled, he rumbled with Corn Pop.
He had his buddy there in the projects, which was Mouse.
Does anybody take this guy serious?
I got some short angry clips here.
I want to ask you about just shortly before you and I sat down, former President Trump named his... Oh no, you got that one.
You had this one.
Mr. Trump has said he's giving you a chance to redeem yourself.
Basically the idea of engaging in another debate.
We're going to have another debate.
Yeah, you're going to have one in September that's on the books.
Would you be open to doing one in the next few weeks?
I'm going to debate him when we agree to debate.
And I'm going to debate him in September.
But if the opportunity came up to do one between now and then, is there a sense of wanting to get back on the horse?
I'm on the horse.
Who are you banning?
I've done 22 major events.
Had thousands of people.
I'm on the horse!
A lot happening.
I'm on the horse.
What I'm doing is going out and demonstrating to the American people that I'm in command of all my faculties, that I don't need notes, I don't need teleprompt.
I can go out and answer any questions I want.
I don't need teleprompt.
No.
And I stood there, when NATO was in town, I stood there for an hour and answered questions.
If you were to have... Oh, poor follow-up from Lester Holt.
Yeah, that's when you identified Vice President Kamala Harris as President Trump and President Zelensky as President Putin.
Is that what you're talking about, Mr. President?
No.
If you were to have... Lester Holt is a softballer.
He's a softballer.
If you were to continue to run and be officially nominated, what happens if you have another episode like we saw during the debate?
What happens if you have another performance on that level?
I don't plan on having another first.
Mr. President, it's always good to talk to you.
Good to see you.
Thank you for making some time for us.
Sometimes come and talk to me about what we should be talking about.
All right.
Okay, the issues.
Always happy to talk.
When does he talk about the issues?
No, man.
What is that?
It's bullcrap.
Oh.
Well, I hope he stays in.
Yeah, well, he's quitting tonight.
He's quitting tonight.
It's over tonight.
Tonight?
No.
Well, this is, yeah, micro dots.
No.
It's quantum dots, okay?
Quantum.
Micro dots is funnier.
Quantum dots.
The Olympics are starting soon in Paris.
For one, I have Olympic fever.
I'm very excited.
Although, I always find it kind of I gotta admit, I don't like that we always send the dream team for basketball.
You know, it's like, oh LeBron James.
Okay, well at least we can win in one thing.
I think it's a version of cheating.
Years ago, before the original dream team.
You couldn't be pro.
You couldn't be a pro, and so they had these college kids, and we'd win, and we wouldn't win, and we wouldn't win, and somebody got sick of the fact that other countries were beating our college kids, and we said, okay, these guys, as far as we're concerned, they're bringing in pros, we're bringing in pros.
Yeah.
So make up your mind.
But I think, who's that freak, the guy who's 7'9", that guy?
Yeah, I always call him, it's Obenyama, I think is his name.
I always call him Obama.
But he'll play for his own country.
Yeah, a lot of guys do.
In fact, one of the best players in the league is playing for Serbia.
Right, that guy, what's his name?
I should have the name off the top of my head, being a sports ball fan, but I don't.
Yes, you are a fan.
Anyway, you know, part of the deal was... Miljkovic.
The Joker.
Part of the deal is we'd have flying taxis.
Well, we know that's out.
The flying taxi's not happening.
Surprise, surprise.
Which means we won't have people dying in these death traps.
Trust me, trust me.
And they're supposed to have all kinds of competitions in the sand.
Yeah, this is a classic.
This is a good story.
But the sand is basically full of poop.
Yeah, it's poopy.
So to prove that it's not poopy, the mayor took a swan dive into the Seine.
It's the dive into the Seine River that Paris' mayor has been dreaming about.
Dreaming?
To show the water is clean.
It's amazing.
We work a lot and very hard for that very lucky and happy day.
Happy because the Seine will be the centerpiece of the Paris Olympics.
In less than two weeks from now, opening ceremonies will be hosted on the river for the first time.
But there had been concerns about athletes competing in the water.
The river's so polluted, swimming in the Seine was banned for more than a century, with only a few exceptions.
For good reason.
Determined to make it safe again for the Olympics, cleanup efforts began over nine years ago, costing one and a half billion dollars.
It included a giant underground water storage basin, renovating sewer lines and treatment plants.
Even with all that, water quality tests last month indicated more needed to be done.
We did it.
We did it.
Officials say the latest water quality tests show welcomed improvements and Paris is ready to let the games begin.
Why did they have to do sewage changes?
Were they dumping the poop in the sand?
Well, the coliform tests were always failing.
It's possible that they could possibly fix it.
One time I was hanging out.
Hanging out.
I was hanging out in Paris.
In Paris with a guy.
With a croissant.
I asked him, I said, you know, what would you define the French as being really good at?
And I was thinking, you know, growing peaches, wine, there's all these different things you'd think of.
He says the number one thing the French are great at is public works.
Rail designs, sewage system, the sewers of France, all the rest.
I mean, they do that better than anybody else in the world.
And I've noticed since the first time I was over there, the roads don't have potholes all over the place.
There's that.
Move to Paris then, you freak!
So I can see them possibly being able, with their public works kind of mentality, being really good at it, maybe cleaning up the sin, but that's a big project.
I don't know.
I think there's going to be a lot of pink eye, let's put it that way.
Uh, from there we move to, uh, well we actually, we had the King's speech.
The Queen is under attack.
The Queen... Oh wait, before I, just to stay with the Olympics, I do have a clip.
Oh, you have an Olympics clip.
Okay.
I have an Olympics clip that I think is funny.
Let me see.
All right, here we go.
Paris Olympics will provide recycled cardboard beds for athletes.
The manufacturer of the beds said they are so strong that five or six people can jump on them.
The mattresses of the beds can be customized to enhance sleep quality.
Paris 2024 revealed the recyclable cardboard beds that will be helping athletes catch up on their beauty sleep during the summer games.
The beds were designed by Airweave, a Japanese company.
Its CEO said cardboard beds were initially created in 2021 for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
He said the beds for Paris Olympics were even stronger.
Cardboard beds?
Didn't they have that?
A couple years back, I remember those cardboard beds.
Yeah, it was the previous Olympics, but I didn't know that.
And it's like, is that the best you can do?
Yeah, really.
What about a futon?
I think that... No, the cardboard beds, is my understanding, is so that it discourages sex.
I never heard that part of it.
Yeah, I think that's... I mean, did you know that there was a 4chan poll about us?
About us?
Yeah.
No agenda, guys, yay or nay.
We've probably got... For 4chan, we've probably got... I don't know what we'd get from... I know Reddit would give us a nay.
Well, listen to this.
Worth listening to if you have seven hours a week to kill.
I remember listening to John C. Dvorak for years related to tech.
I did not realize he was involved in politics.
Yeah, they're pretty good, although Dvorak is increasingly naive for someone as old as he is who has seen as much as he has.
He's always giving MFers the benefit of the doubt when it's really, really not warranted.
He also reads Slash Paul, so that's great.
I guess you're a 4-channer.
Then... Adam is a retard.
John C. Dvorak is the GOAT!
It's a shame that... It's a shame that tranny made that god-awful keyboard layout and made it his same last name!
Wow, 4chan!
Real accurate there.
Yeah, fantastic.
Anyway, back to the Queen.
The Queen is under attack!
It was five years ago that Ursula von der Leyen squeaked her way into the chair as head of the European Commission by just a handful of votes.
Her attempt to get re-elected for a second term is likely to be just as close.
Two weeks ago, EU leaders nominated von der Leyen despite an occasionally controversial stint in charge of the bloc's executive branch.
I would plain and simply like to express my gratitude to the leaders who endorsed my nomination.
One key dissenting voice, though, is Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Maloney.
The leadership proposal from the conservative, socialist and liberal parties was wrong, partly because there was no discussion considered regarding the mandate for these leadership nominees.
In the wake of European elections, their citizens clearly asked for a new direction for the EU.
Maloney is not the only person unhappy with von der Leyen.
Ahead of Thursday's ballot on whether to confirm her for another five years in charge, talk has grown about objections and opposition to her leadership of the Commission.
A vital issue for some is the question of transparency.
That was capped on Wednesday ahead of the vote by an EU court ruling which criticised the the Commission's handling of COVID-19 contracts.
More significant, however, are questions about Ukraine.
MEPs on Wednesday backed a motion reaffirming support for Kyiv at a time when Europe appears increasingly divided about the war with Russia.
That comes less than three weeks after EU leaders signed a new security deal with Ukraine.
The key player is Hungary, which currently holds the EU's rotating presidency.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has talked about using the position for something he calls peace missions.
Those include meetings with Ukrainian war critics like China's President Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, and a visit to Moscow.
What's the over-under?
Do you think she'll stay in?
According to this morning, she's back.
Oh, really?
Yeah, she's in.
Well, I'm happy because we need her for the show.
She's good for the show.
Yeah, she's good for the show.
And my last clip before we... What a horrible person she is.
Oh, no, she's the worst.
She's never been elected by the public to anything.
She was a failed finance minister for Germany.
People discarded her.
They didn't like her.
And she totally, totally was all in on the backroom deals with Pfizer.
Yeah, she's a Pfizer stooge.
There must be a lot more Pfizer stooges for her to stay in.
Good try, Maloney.
Her voice is amazing.
I'm Georgia Maloney.
Texas News!
Which is actually, it's no agenda news.
It's Texas and California.
Putting a capital X in Texas.
Billionaire mogul Elon Musk shared on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, that he's had it with California.
He plans to move its headquarters and that of SpaceX to the Lone Star State.
Musk explained he decided to make the move after California's governor signed into law a pro-LGBTQ plus bill.
This is the final straw.
Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its headquarters from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas.
And X's headquarters will move to Austin.
Have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.
Signed by Gavin Newsom, the California law that provoked Musk'sire gives schools more leeway in regard to informing parents of a child's gender choices.
It forbids schools from requiring teachers to tell the parents of any changes.
Elon Musk has long voiced inflammatory statements against trans people.
And he has a trans daughter.
In court documents said she no longer has a relationship with him.
I think Austin should block this.
They don't want it.
We don't want that trash, that ex-trash.
you Well he, this is, he has to do this stuff publicly because to get out of California, because he's going to get some billions of dollars in the payment.
He has to get out of California very publicly and he can't have any connections to like the Twitter offices or anything because California goes after you.
They have an exit tax, right?
No, not just exotechs.
They claim that if you spend more than so many hours in California a year, you're considered a California citizen.
And so the only way to really extract your... You have to get everything out, you have to make it very public, and then you have to... And they're still going to go after you.
They're very into going after people who leave the state.
Wow, that's like leaving the Manson family.
It's exactly the same as Democrats.
I said this, you know, a number of times, I've mentioned it, which the Democrat Party, which runs California, is more like a cult than it is like a political party.
So when you quit the cult, it's hard.
Is that why you're still there?
You're afraid of the cult?
No, no, I divorced myself from the cult in 1979, 1980, and it took this long to be accepted as some outsider.
I'm not in the cult.
Nobody cares.
But I'm telling you, for at least a decade, I was hounded for not being a Democrat.
I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
And we want to thank everybody who came in.
$50 and above in the value for value proposition that we bring to you twice a week.
We give you the value.
No hoops, no barriers, no tote bags, no levels.
No, no, no.
You can just send us whatever you think the show is worth to you.
If you enjoyed, if you're still listening, you probably got some value out of it.
So consider us.
That would be very helpful.
John's going to take us through the 50s.
And we do have a tip after this.
A tip?
So stick around.
Yes, we do have a tip.
And by the way, I'm unaffiliated.
Yes.
Politically.
Yes.
Alex Thomas in Northcote, Victoria, Australia, 167.
Starts us off.
And then Jake from Blissfield, Michigan, 140.08.
And he wants a de-douching.
Got it.
You've been de-douched.
And he condemns Colin, not for being a douchebag, but for claiming that he got him to listen to the show and he doesn't believe it.
Eric Anderson and Henry South Dakota, 111.11.
He has a note, and since he's going to be a knight, I think you might want to open that note and read it.
Uh, yes, I happen to have it here.
Crackpot and buzzkill!
In celebration of getting my ham license, I figured I would complete my knighthood.
I tested and passed my tech and general, and I'm really enjoying it so far.
Check me out on V-A-R-C.
What is it?
VARAC.
I'm on digital modes, baby.
Beaconing every 15 minutes.
Please knight me, Sir Idiot of the Rural Intelligentsia.
I want a geisha and a bucket of fried chicken at the round table.
It's yummy!
Thanks for keeping me sane for the years it took me to get here.
I think I started listening somewhere in the 100s.
Long timer.
No agenda has helped me look at world events with the skepticism it deserves.
73s, he says.
The soon-to-be Sir Idiot.
73s from Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
Thanks, brother.
Diane Schwanebeck in Johnsburg, Illinois, 105.35.

Last week's show was good.
Last show was good.
Last show was good.
Ash, Texas, $100.
Stephen C. in Bedford, Massachusetts, $92.
And he has this thing about 92 is in honor of Donald J. Trump, who will be our 45th plus 47th president.
And our first Bitcoin president, Steve C. That's actually a $92 donation in honor of Trump.
It's not a bad one.
It's a good number.
I didn't want to do anything that's that biased.
We'll take it.
Thank you, Steven C. So 45 plus 47 is 92.
Kevin McLaughlin, there he is in North Carolina, and Concord to be exact.
He's the Archduke of Luna and he gives 8008, which is a boob donation.

And he's got a birthday call up for his wife, Anna.
And, and, and I think she wants a, um...
Let me see, she wants a biscuit, so we'll give her a biscuit for her birthday.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Yeah, you got it.
Sir Kevin O'Brien in Chicago, 6006 small boobs.
Chad Hewitt in Folsom, California, also 6006.
Jeff Hunt.
5510 double nickels on the diamond.
He's got a little, he's got a knighting coming up.
You want to read this?
And I believe after 15 years he says this brings me to knighthood.
Love the show and I need some graduate MBA karma dealer's choice.
I can use anything I can get.
We'll do that at the end for you.
Regarding the MBA, my ethics class was 100% focused on UN sustainable development goals.
No room for dissent, and what little I put up against globalism, questions about global warming, or something simple like maybe we shouldn't treat science like a religion, I was SHUT DOWN!
Despite being the only one with any understanding of science.
For context, this is a Jesuit Catholic school which should be questioning everything dogmatic, at least by my understanding.
All right, Jeff.
You will be knighted.
That's terrible.
That is terrible.
James Edmondson in South Plainfield, New Jersey, 55-10.
Dean Roker, 55-10.

We see you there, 49, 99, 49s, and of course, anybody can support the show in some manner financially.
You can do that at any amount, anything that represents the value you got out of the show, and we love it when you do sustaining donations, where you can set a frequency and a number of your choice, and we appreciate all of you.
Knowagendadonations.com.
Just wanted to say sorry that we lost Dr. Ruth.
She passed.
A lot of dead people this week.
John Lord, bass player for Deep Purple, who I knew actually, and he was 71 or something, that's too young.
And I just heard that Lou Dobbs apparently just died.
Lou Dobbs?
Yeah.
This is unconfirmed.
This is unconfirmed, but that's what I just heard.
Oh, I knew him.
Yeah.
I saw him on Silicon Spin a couple of times when he was running that science site.
Really?
What science site?
He had a site, after he got fired the first time, he started some rocket science site as a website that was about rockets and launches and it was pretty good.
Hey, you know who else just died?
Bob Newhart.
Oh, well that's a shame.
Did you know him?
No, I never met Bob Newhart.
We're outliving everybody.
I did get to see Bob Newhart when he first showed up as a stand-up.
Oh, that must have been great.
Oh, he was unbelievably funny.
Because he was the first super dry comic that was just killing it.
And he had those two best-selling... He's the one who popularized the Cut Comedy album.
Above all others.
That's right.
It's a bad day for Bob's, basically.
It's not a good day for Bob's.
Here's the karma that was requested.
You've got karma.

No agenda meetup.
That's right.
No agenda meetup.
It connects you with other people, which immediately gives you protection.
Connection is protection.
It is a great addendum, or, yeah, addendum is a good piece, I think, good way to put it, to your No Agenda Show, because you may be in the troll room hanging out, but you can actually meet these people.
And we've had people meet and get married.
We've had people meet and start businesses.
We've had people meet and just hang out together and drink and have fun and talk about stuff.
Never has there been a fight.
Never has there been any angry words that I have ever heard of.
In fact, here's an example of a great Meetup report from Fort Wayne, the Mac and Cheese Meetup.
Adam and John, this is Shannon in Fort Wayne.
We're low on Nat Pops and low on Biden voters.
But we're very high in Mac and Cheese.
Hi, it's Shelly from Fort Wayne.
Thank you for your courage.
Hey, Jared.
Thank you for Shelly's courage.
In the morning, I met some wonderful people today.
And he wasn't paid to say that.
Hey, Sir PBR Street King.
In the morning, John and Adam.
Here we are at Fort Wayne eating the mac and cheese.
I'm Dame Trinity having a great time at J.K.
O'Donnell's in the morning.
And it's Mike with the Fort Wayne crew in the morning.
So Baron Spud the Mighty's trolling around in the troll room.
Says don't expect to meet any chicks at the meetup.
I just heard a couple right there!
It's not true, blatant lie.
In fact, why don't you give it a shot if you're in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Tonight, 7 o'clock, Ed's Tavern.
Gotta meet up there.
Charlotte's Thirsty Third, Thursday of the month.
There's a lot of women that go to these meetups.
You know, it's Baron Spud the Mighty.
I mean, hi, I'm Spud the Mighty.
Alright, yeah, I'm sure the chicks run away from you.
Spud the Mighty.
Saturday, the Chicago River Rendezvous.
That's where you can meet chicks.
1 o'clock at the Island Party Hut in Chicago, Illinois.
Hey, Darren, you should go.
Dr. Ruth's Last Call, Miller's Alehouse, Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey on Saturday.

Stop listening to goats in the woods.
Why don't you do a little meetup and do a meetup report?
We'd love to hear from you guys in Uruguay.
Please, it would be a lot of fun.
NoahJennerMeetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
It's easy.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want to be.
Triggered or held to blame.
It's like a party.
It's like a party.
It always is like a party.
Got another Austin meet-up coming up soon, I think.
We should probably go.
And one's going to be organized in Burney.
Burney, Texas.
Come on, Burney.
Yeah, yeah, that's Mitch.
Mitch the Maverick, the periodontist.
He's going to start one.
He's going to.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, he's got dough, so it'll be cool.
He'll set it up right.
You got any isos?
You know, I failed again.
Whaaaaaat?
Well, luckily I have two.
Hopefully one of them is useful.
You're always one useful.
Maybe it's the ghost of Corn Pop!
Hmm, I don't like it either.
It's usable, but it's blurry.
Yeah, this is the one you want.
Are you saying it's a false flag?
Oh, it's only because of her voice at the end when she goes, what?
It's the best.
Come on, we all know it's good.
Ladies and gentlemen, end of show.
This is what we do every single show.
That's right, just a tip, everybody.
It is a tip from John C. Dvorak as we lead you into your weekend, well, almost weekend.
John, what kind of tip do you have for us today?
I have a food tip.
A food tip?
Ah, we love our food tips.
And the only reason I'm going to bring this tip up is because every time I go to the store and this situation occurs and I always have to... I have actually discussed this with fellow shoppers at the grocery store.
Hello shoppers.
And very few people seem to know this simple fact.
Which is that pineapples are not bananas and they don't ripen after they're picked.
They stay frozen in time as to their ripeness.
So when you buy a pineapple, a lot of people, for some reason, almost nobody knows this.
So how do you know?
Because they always think of everything as a banana.
Or even all kinds of things ripen after you pick them, but not pineapples.
And so pineapples, you want to... If you go before me, that's going to be... I'm going to put that in my eulogy.
John taught me people think everything's a banana.
And that's just not true, people.
So when you buy a pineapple, you want to get one that is gold colored, not green, but gold colored.
Because if you buy a green one that's all greenish, it's not going to go anywhere.
It's going to be sour and kind of like not as sweet as it should be.
So the thing should be solid gold colored.
You don't find it very often, but when you do, they stand out like a sore thumb.
And that's the one you buy, a gold pineapple.
And when you cut one of those babies open, they're super sweet.
The core is edible.
It's unbelievable how good a pineapple is when it's ripe, but it will not ripen.
It's not good news, it's good advice.
John C's tip of the day.
That's right, everybody!
An invaluable tip!
An invaluable tip of the day.
I hit my own tip here.
Tip's too long.
And that will conclude our broadcast day, live from Northern Silicon Valley and the Texas Hill Country.
Fred!
No cults here.
No cults here.
Before we leave, though, we do have a couple of end-of-show mixes.
We're getting short on people doing these kinds of end-of-show mixes.
The sung variety, which we do love so much.
It takes a lot of effort.
Nostradamus did that for us, and also Clip Custodian Neil Jones.
These are evergreens, so we love rolling them out for you.
Oh, what do we have coming up next?
MMO!
Millennial Media Offensive on the No Agenda Stream, or if you're listening on one of those modern podcast apps.
Coming to you from the heart of that Texas Hill Country in Fred, FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's sunny today, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday with another media deconstruction just for you.
Read all about it on 4Chan.
Until then, adios mofos, a hooey hooey, and such.

Trump haters are not the same as you and I Patriots such as I, it's gone with the fall of the sea and their frozen minds News is why Trump leaders got nobody.
Trump leaders got nobody.
Trump leaders got nobody to love.
They got safe spaces where they're running high.
Crying their eyes out, scream at the sky.
Got sanctuary, free stuff for all.
Socialist leaders stomping the wall.
Kicking our free speech, and the guns too.
Burning our flags, all red, white, and blue.
Trump is telling us what he intends to do.
Trump. .
Trump means to throw people in jail who disagree with him.
Listen to what he says because he's telling us what he will do.
