Time Text
All right, this is the time of the year to plant.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, June 8th, 2025.
This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination, episode 1771.
This is No Agenda.
Cutting through the crud and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in FEMA Region No.
6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where they've called out the National Guards, it's authoritarianism.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
Oh, man.
It's on the quad!
It's on the quad!
Everybody's on the quad.
Oh, no!
Trump calls out the National Guard doing what people asked him to do.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
We can't have it.
Authoritarianism.
It is authoritarianism, man.
And the National Guard is standing there like smoking cigarettes.
They don't know what to do.
They're all standing around.
Nothing's going on.
They're standing around.
Everyone else is, they're rioting!
No, they burned their old panties and everyone's live streaming it on Instagram and TikTok.
I have not seen anything really happen.
Well, there's that car on fire.
Oh, a car on fire.
They do that when we win the ball game.
It's true.
Come on.
You win a Super Bowl and they put more cars on fire.
Don't park around the Super Bowl.
Well, I have a couple of clips because the BBC thinks this is a big deal.
Oh, yes.
Well, the BBC would because it's going to happen in their town soon.
Only for real.
But this is interesting.
This clip is interesting because...
Yes, of course.
And so they talk about the event.
They have some woman standing there in L.A. It's in L.A., by the way, for people out there who don't know where this is taking place.
And by the way, for people who don't know what the quad is, YouTube TV has a four-screen, multi-view, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and BBC.
That's the quad.
And so there's a woman who reports, she's got nothing to say.
So they bring on, of course, the main BBC guy.
So he's going to bring an analyst in to discuss this, and here we go.
Well, earlier I spoke to Scott Lucas, professor of U.S. and international politics at University College Duglands Clinton Institute.
He's a professor, he's in Ireland.
And his specialty is Trump derangement syndrome, I'm presuming?
Yeah.
Well, National Guard is a long-established institution.
It dates back to the 17th century, when the U.S. was a British colony.
And that is, it was a local, effectively, militia.
Now, as the U.S. developed as a country, you, of course, would eventually have the national military.
But the National Guard would be overseen at state level.
Now, they could be used in two cases.
The federal government could request that the states deploy them, provide them.
Say, for example, at the start of the 21st century in Iraq and in Afghanistan, they can also be used in national emergencies.
And I emphasize real national emergencies.
For example, in 1992, as you mentioned, in the L.A. uprising, after the beating of Rodney King, they were called out when the city suffered more than $1 billion in damage.
And they can be deployed when states refuse to observe the law.
So the federal government in the 1950s under Dwight Eisenhower called out the National Guard to make sure that schools could be desegregated in Arkansas when Governor Faubus refused to do so.
So in very specific situations where there is an imminent threat, the federal government can override the states and call out the National Guard.
Hold on a second.
He says two things here.
Let me just get this right, and you've probably looked this up.
So the president can call out the National Guard in a situation where the state is disregarding the law, and that could be a danger.
And then at the end he says, but you know, if it's crazy, then he can call it the National Guard.
And in this case, I presume legally President Trump has called in the National Guard because the state of California is not cooperating with ICE.
To hand over criminals.
So that sounds right.
It sounds like the president is in his constitutional right.
You're too logical.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't work for the BBC.
That's the problem.
So a couple of things he did say I want to point out because he's going to be forced to contradict himself.
He makes the point of real, he says, real national emergencies.
And he uses the word national, real.
That's what he said.
Yeah, it's real.
Rodney King was not a national emergency.
No.
It was a local situation in LA.
Yeah.
But I suppose you could, you know- It was not a party.
The other one was Favis.
There was a black kid, they wouldn't let him into school, so they brought the National Guard and forced him to go in.
Or her, I think it was a woman.
That was during Johnson?
No, this was Eisenhower.
Oh, Eisenhower, I'm sorry.
Yes, way before.
And so that was, you know, hardly a national emergency, but whatever the case, he's going, he's kind of wandering here.
He, the BB, he's not on the script because he should have already slammed Trump by now.
So the BBC guy interrupts him.
Prompts him, prompts him.
Hey, you're not doing it right.
It interrupts him and puts him back on track and then we get to hear what they're really trying to tell us.
Here we go.
What do you make of Donald Trump's decision to do it in this instance?
It's unprecedented.
It's unprecedented for the National Guard to be called out when you do not have that imminent threat.
And I need to emphasize protesters gathered last night, as you mentioned, outside this detention center.
Because people are just being swept up, many of whom have no criminal records, and with the threat, they'll just simply be disappeared, deported, without a due process of law.
There were some people who were arrested when they failed to disperse, but there were a sum total of two.
Two people who were arrested for assaults on police officers, one with a Molotov cocktail.
Do you think that in the literature this professor has studied that they speak of sweeping people up?
Or is that just hyperbole from our professor?
And he also used the word disappeared, which is a left-wing trope.
That's good.
I'll take it back to that.
Deported without due process of law.
There were some people who were arrested when they failed to disperse, but there were a sum total of two.
Two people who were arrested for assaults on police officers, one with a Molotov cocktail, allegedly.
So there was no imminent threat here.
This needs to be called out what it is.
It is a political stunt by the Trump administration, both as part of that crackdown on migration and also to try to expand its authority at the expense of the states in what would some see as being effectively authoritarian.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, very good.
Authoritarian.
Every single one of my British and European friends, you know what they say?
Man, I wish we had a guy like that here.
That's what they all say.
That's what they all say.
Yeah, there's that element.
Of course.
That's the one that actually cracks me up.
Yeah, of course.
They won't say it in their own country for fear of a retribution.
And, you know, all the news, all of it is all swept up.
Disappeared.
Disappeared is my favorite.
This is political speech.
That's what that is.
And it's kind of baffling.
Well, no, not really, I guess.
It's not baffling.
What am I thinking?
It's not really baffling.
I have Ice Barbie, who was on the CBS Face the Nation.
Well, where I want to head toward, starting with that, is going toward bringing back Albrego Garcia.
Yes, okay.
I have clips for her, but I think Ice Barbie.
I think...
Well, Ice Barbie is...
Okay, Ice Barbie...
I always mix her up with...
No, Ice Barbie.
Yeah, Ice Barbie is the The dog killer.
Gnome, like Gnome Alaska.
She's cold.
Yes, the dog killer.
The dog killer.
She has no heart, man.
She's a dog killer.
So thank you to the Jones Brothers Syndicate.
Neil always does throughout the week, and Steve has everything rolling in the morning, and that's why I was a little behind.
I was late getting even the clean feed up for you because I was listening to the clips that were coming in.
It's pretty cool to have it just before the show starts.
So this is Margaret, your favorite, your gal, Margaret Brennan, with the ice barbie, Christine Ohm.
Well, we are seeing from the president's proclamation that he can federalize, he says, 2,000 California National Guard forces for 60 days under Title X authorities.
Which units are being deployed?
Are they military, police, and exactly what are their orders?
Yes, President Trump is putting the safety of the communities that are being impacted by these riots and by these protests that have turned violent.
And he's putting the safety of our law enforcement officers first.
So these 2,000 National Guard soldiers that are being engaged today are ones that are specifically trained for this type of crowd situation where they'll be with the public and be able to provide safety around buildings and to those that are engaged in peaceful protests and also to our law enforcement officers so they can continue their daily work.
Okay, that sounds ominous.
This is not good, but we've got to bring in the term federalizing.
Federalizing.
It's like the federal government's taking over the states.
So our CBS team is reporting that the California National Guard officers are at that Edward Roybal Center in L.A. This is a plaza with a federal building.
Federal buildings are there, a processing center, a detention center, a veterans clinic.
Are the soldiers going to remain around the federal building?
Are you planning to have them go throughout the city of Los Angeles?
I won't speak specifically to all the locations where the National Guard soldiers will be deployed to or where they will be conducting different operations as far as security concerns.
They're there at the direction of the president in order to keep peace and allow people to be able to protest, but also to keep law and order.
That is incredibly important to the president.
By the way, from what I can see, that's exactly what's happening.
They're standing around.
They're not in the line with their weapons drawn.
They're just standing around.
And everybody else is protesting reasonably peacefully.
They're all live streaming.
This is an influencer event.
He recognizes he was elected to make sure that every single person in this country was treated exactly the same and that we would enforce the laws.
And that is what ICE is doing every day as they're out on our streets and working to go after bad criminals and people that have perpetuated violence on these communities.
The gang members we have picked up in L.A. because of their hard work are horrible people.
Assault, drug trafficking, human trafficking.
They are now off of those streets and they are safer because these ICE operations are ongoing.
Unfortunately, we've seen some violent protests happen and that's why these National Guard soldiers are being utilized to help us.
All right, so now we're just going to get down to it.
It's because the Los Angeles authorities will not cooperate with ICE.
Well, the U.S. attorney in L.A. told CBS that LAPD did help.
It did.
LAPD does not help.
They waited until we had officers in dangerous situations, then they responded.
Now, if that was my city and I was the mayor, I would be sent...
That's what America is about, is that we have rules and we have laws.
If you don't like the laws, go to Congress and change them.
Someone should go to Congress and say, change the laws.
If we don't like what's happening in this country, do that instead of throwing rocks and throwing Molotov cocktails and instead of attacking law enforcement officers.
We're just not going to do that anymore.
This president cares deeply about family members that want to live in their communities and be safe.
Back to the question, though, of action.
We're going to have a lot of responsibility here in implementing some of this call to do this.
Well, let me be clear about something.
ICE and Homeland Security are running these operations right now, and the advice and counsel of the Attorney General of the Department of Defense are extremely important to the President of the United States, and we never discuss our personal conversations and advice to the President of the United States.
He makes the decisions.
He is the President that sits in that seat.
And we are all very proud to work for him.
So I'm grateful for the leadership of Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi, and I get the chance to work with them.
And as Tom does their job today, we're thankful to have the partnership and the leadership of President Trump.
Oh, Ice Barbie, you're so boring.
The only thing that really I think is interesting about this is the masks.
And this is the last clip of that.
But wait, before you play the next clip.
What is Brennan trying to do here?
Did you notice that she tried to pull in the active duty military?
Because they keep trying to stick Trump in.
He's going to make the military, which is not the National Guard.
I mean, the National Guard is the military, but it's a different branch altogether, even though it's associated.
They're trying to make it scary, like he's turning the military on his own people like we said he would.
Yeah, exactly.
But it's interesting how she slipped it in.
Noam slipped past it.
She should have addressed it and chewed her out for it, which I think bands would have done.
Yeah, well, Ice Barbie is cute, but she's not the best.
I mean, she has kind of a stock way of talking and then to say, oh, I'm excited to work with AG Barbie.
Yeah, she's not as good as the other ones in terms of being aggressive.
I mean, Rubio would have done it.
Oh, yeah.
No, they're better.
They're just better.
It's okay.
Ice Barbie is awesome in that role as Ice Barbie.
Just put a flak dog killer.
Alright, the masks.
This is the part that I thought was interesting for a certain reason.
President Trump said masks will not be allowed to be worn at protests.
Who's going to enforce that and how?
And how can you justify it when law enforcement officials have their faces covered?
Go up to them and pull their masks down!
You know, what I would say is that the law is going to be enforced and that what the laws are in this country is what we are doing and our ICE officers and our law officers out there that are in these situations where people have questioned why they have their faces covered.
It's for the safety of those individuals or the work that they're doing as far as protecting their identity so they can continue to do investigative work.
But are you tasking the National Guard soldiers with removing masks from protesters?
I mean, are you trying to use them?
This is such an upside-down world.
For four years, the left was saying, wear a mask!
Wear a mask!
Wear a mask!
And I was like, stop wearing your mask!
National Guard soldiers are there to provide security for operations and to make sure that we have peaceful protests.
So that's what their work is.
And I won't get more specific on that just because we never do when it comes to law enforcement operations.
We're doing the same standard procedures we always do and have for years in this country with our National Guard and with our law enforcement folks that are on the ground working with these communities.
Now this is interesting, this mask issue, because Hakeem Jeffries, What is his actual title?
He's the leader of the Democrat Party in the House that has a name.
Yeah, he would be the next speaker.
The guy, I know I said this on the show, but he just seems, looks like, he looks slow-witted, sounds dumb, he's a dummy.
Well, here he is talking about the ICE agents and the whole mask issue.
Every single...
This is America.
America.
This is not the Soviet Union.
We're not behind the Iron Curtain.
This is not the 1930s.
And every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, Will of course be identified.
That in fact is the law.
And we're going to make sure that the American people have the transparency necessary to hold people accountable when they're folks who cross the line here in America.
That's what's going to happen.
So he is basically threatening to dox the ICE agents to out them and let everyone know who they are so they can be a target.
And where they live and what their family looks like.
Let's go back to January 26th of 2021.
Hakeem Jeffries.
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
Great to have you on, Congressman.
Just tell me what you know and what you're willing to say.
Obviously, there's some security concerns here about the threats this individual directed at family members of yours.
on January 6th.
This is something that unfolded on January 6th, directed at a family member of mine.
This individual apparently had secured a phone number, secured an address, made it appear as though they were prepared to proceed violently, either at the address of my family He didn't like it when it happened to him.
So, no, Hakeem Jeffries.
Don't do that.
Just don't do that.
So then we have the...
You identified it in the newsletter.
And that is the return of the Maryland husband.
The father from Maryland.
The poor guy who got shipped off.
To El Salvador.
Oh, well, you've got to get the correct usage down.
Oh, well, I'm sorry.
Did I get it wrong?
Yeah, he was accidentally shipped off, or he was mistakenly shipped off.
Swept up, swept up.
Well, I have a couple of clips that kind of...
No, no, no.
I'm tossing to you.
Back to you, Bob.
Yeah, I'm throwing it to you.
Let's start with the...
I stopped doing it, but I'm going to do it again, at least for this show.
This is the rundown.
This is the complete...
I've said this before.
You just watch the rundown, and they give you everything you need to know about today's news.
And this is from yesterday's ABC News.

I'm tired.
I'm tired from just hearing that.
Yeah, I know.
It's pretty fatigued.
But mistakenly, this mistakenly, everybody's using it.
Yeah, mistakenly.
It was a mistake.
Wow, they are so dumb.
Nobody ever said it was a mistake.
One guy in the administration, it was one of the lawyers from one of the federal lawyers.
Yeah, I think we had a clip of that where he said it and it was like, oh no, bono, oh I didn't mean to say that, oops.
And now everyone's picked it up.
Yeah.
So to go from there to the NPR report on the show.
Yeah, NPR, yeah.
This is ICE raids.
Well, it's pretty short, so it's not full of too many gems.
But it's got the right kind of attitude.
It's when we get to the NPR analysis, which are the Dems' view.
But let's play Ice Rays.
This is Ice Raid SoCal.
Ice Raid, SoCal, NPR.
In Southern California, for a second straight day, there are major actions by federal law enforcement going after people in the country illegally.
Steve Futterman has more.
This is, you know, just clipping today, all of the terms that the news media is using.
I mean, people who are...
anything but what you just said, NPR.
For law enforcement going after people in the country illegally.
Agents moved in at another Home Depot.
Some of their focus was on day laborers.
Wow, that's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Let's go to Home Depot, see if we can find any illegals.
Oh, please.
Wow, okay.
That's exactly the right analogy.
How much work are you going to put in today?
I don't know.
Let's just go to the Home Depot and pick up a few guys.
Pick some guys up, exactly.
You know what it is?
The Californians are pissed because these are the people who are rebuilding their homes and they have to get cheap labor because the permits cost 50 grand.
That's what's going on.
If you can get a permit, do you know?
Yes, I do.
Thousands and thousands of homes burnt to the ground.
The total number of permits, what is it?
I think it's like 70 or something.
No, 55. I actually have a clip somewhere of it.
Exactly.
It's a joke.
And those 55 cost tens of thousands of dollars.
So, yeah, you want to go get your labor at Home Depot.
Steve Futterman has more.
Agents moved in at another Home Depot.
Some of their focus was on day laborers who often gather outside the store looking for work.
As word spread on social media of the raid, protesters showed up.
There were some confrontations.
Objects were thrown at a U.S. marshal's bus carrying some of those detained.
Agents responded with flashbangs and tear gas.
One of the protesters, Maya Malika, blames President Trump.
What we're facing right now is Trump's armed Gestapo, because this is the future.
We're just seeing a glimpse of the future that Trump wants to implement.
The acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons, That lady, she was on all the European reports.
She is the, I think, director of a non-profit for immigrants' rights.
So she was everywhere.
So I'm surprised that NPR didn't pick up someone else for that.
I guess she was the only one.
Why bother?
There's the easy way or the hard way.
Did they talk to anyone at Home Depot?
Like a manager?
They can't speak English.
No, they didn't talk to anyone.
Lowe's doesn't allow that.
Lowe's shoes them off.
Shoes them off.
Go.
Go.
Get out.
Go away.
No, Home Depot, we have one around here.
It's during the, in the heyday era, I think it was like a few number of years back.
Yeah.
That place was, there was a thousand guys out there.
You had to find one guy, you had to, you could find, if you wanted to get some work done, you'd find one guy who spoke really good English and he could organize a crew for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, they do good work.
You sound like you speak from experience, strangely enough.
I'm just saying, this is possible.
It's something you can always do if you need a cleanup or something.
Cheap.
On the cheap.
You know, there are plenty of people here in Fredericksburg who are here, born here, who are happy to do it cheap.
They clean up.
They won't come into California, is my understanding.
No, no, of course not.
They don't want to live there.
So NPR decides they're going to bring that bonehead from Connecticut, the guy who went to have a margarita with Abrego Garcia, back on the show.
That guy.
That guy.
Oh, he's perfect.
He's the perfect guy.
Fantastic.
So he can come in and play his, oh, well, you know, all we care about is process, which the Democrats are always accused of.
They're more into process than anything.
And, you know, you've got to follow the rules, and this is all we cared about.
We don't know if he's guilty or not.
It doesn't matter, and blah, blah, blah.
But here we go.
This is a four-parter.
It's quite entertaining.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has been at the center of an intense political and legal fight since he was mistakenly, mistakenly, mistakenly, mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March, is back in the United States.
For months, the Trump administration resisted a Supreme Court order to, quote, facilitate his return.
Now, Abrego Garcia is back, but in a Tennessee prison.
He's been charged with conspiracy to transport migrants in the U.S. without legal status from Texas across the country.
That's according to the federal indictment unsealed Friday.
Senator Chris Van Hollen played a leading role in the push to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. The Democrat represents Maryland, where Abrego Garcia was living with his family before he was deported.
Senator Van Hollen joins us now.
Scott, good to be with you.
What is your reaction to this news?
He's been returned to the U.S., but is in federal prison.
Wow, did you hear that that was an interview that was done a whole different time, a whole different sound, a whole different timbre of voice?
That was interesting.
Where Arbrego Garcia was living with his family before he was deported.
Senator Van Hollen joins us now.
Scott, good to be with you.
What is your reaction to this news?
He's been returned to the U.S., but is in federal prison.
This is a victory for the rule of law and due process.
As you just said, the Trump administration for months said he would never set foot on U.S. soil again.
They thumbed their nose at a 9-0 Supreme Court decision.
I have repeatedly said that this is not about the man Abrego Garcia.
It's about his constitutional rights to due process and that if you – So, finally, his case is back in court where it should have been all along, and he will have an opportunity with his lawyers, who he's not had any communication with, to defend himself against these new charges.
I have a question.
If you're chewing gum, you're chewing gum, Billy?
Give everybody a piece of the gum or get the gum out of your mouth.
That's the Democrats.
Is there anyone else that this guy from Connecticut or any other representative or senator has gone to bat for that they were swept up and disappeared illegally?
Is there any other example that we've heard of or is it just the news media telling us that?
I don't know of any other examples.
They have talked about the...
But that kind of got pushed aside.
No, because I don't think the gay hairdresser was true.
If there truly was a gay hairdresser who got shipped off, the people would lose their ever-loving minds over it if it was really true.
It would be perfect.
Trump hates gays.
So I'm just going to say it was never true.
So it just, you know, that would be, see, they're taking away our rights.
Well, the question you're asking, the open-ended question you're asking, is not answerable because people are disappearing.
Yeah, but they have family members here.
They've disappeared too.
Oh, okay.
Okay, I got it.
Now, here's the one.
This one I did a little...
ABC said the same thing as you're about to hear in clip two.
Okay.
Have you been able to talk to him or his legal team?
I have not spoken to him directly.
I have spoken to his wife, Jennifer.
What was her response to all of this?
Well, she's relieved to have him back on U.S. soil.
Wait a minute.
The wife who he beat is relieved to have him back on U.S. soil?
This is bullcrap.
That's interesting.
She's finally had a chance to talk to him briefly, which she was unable to do.
Since he was first taken off the streets in Maryland and shipped to El Salvador.
And of course, you know, she's working with the lawyers as to the next steps.
You said before this isn't about him.
It's about the rule of law.
It's about the process.
What is your response to this indictment and the details in the indictment, allegations that he transported undocumented immigrants across the country illegally?
Well, my response is what it's been all along, which is that the Trump administration needs to put up or shut up in court.
So for months, they made allegations over social media, which they had not made before the federal district court judge in Maryland, Judge Zinnis.
They'd made these claims.
With respect to MS-13, she said that they had put forward no evidence.
My point all along is This needs to be dealt with in a court of law.
That's where we convict the guilty.
It's also where people who are charged have their due process rights respect.
So what's interesting in all this is many, if not the most targeted, are people who have already been through that process and have just been let go.
Yeah.
So the court of law thing has already happened.
Exactly what you said.
You think the NPR guy is going to ask that?
Well, no, because otherwise all my hairdresser's clients will go crazy.
Okay, this is the clip that's got the WTF moment, which I have to discuss.
Oh, what?
Well, I have two clips here, two different lengths.
Dem's view on Albrego.
Oh, no, it's got to be 3WTF.
That 3NPR has got to be Clip Force.
I like the guy's new name, Darcia.
That's great.
I mean, there has been criticism from some camps about the amount of detail in the 10-page indictment about the fact that most of this material comes from unnamed sources.
Do you share that concern, or again, is to you the top line, this is now the formal process that should have happened from the beginning?
The top line is that this is the formal process and it should have been in court from the beginning.
I think the issues you just mentioned will, of course, be a subject of debate and litigation in the court.
We also know that one of the members of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tennessee resigned reportedly in protest about how these charges are being brought now.
He resigned?
Reportedly in protest.
Where did that reporting come from that they resigned in protest?
He has never said he resigned in protest.
His resignation is on LinkedIn.
I've read it.
He quit the day that they indicted Abrego Garcia.
ABC, it traces back to ABC claims that he resigned in protest.
So I looked up and we have it in the show notes because I sent you a...
It's believed that the prosecutor knows about some hanky-panky that was going on that allowed this illegality to continue.
He quit.
To get out of the way so he doesn't get caught up in what appears to be an upcoming mess.
Ah, that's interesting.
He didn't quit in any protests and no one has gotten a quote from him saying he quit in protests.
Nobody.
ABC made it up.
Hmm.
Oh, I'm not surprised.
And of course, this Joker from this Connecticut dude, so he...
Connecticut.
The congressman.
Oh, yeah.
He, of course, goes with it.
He says it right there on the report as if the guy quit in protest because this does match.
There were people, if you recall, like, I don't know, six to nine, just right after Trump got in, a bunch of federal prosecutors that quit in protest because they were all short-timers and they were part-time.
One of them was only there for a month and she quit, if you recall.
And so now you can always use the quit and protest trope meme to make it sound like something actually happened when it didn't because somebody made it up.
Okay.
So I had to get that off my chest.
But it's in the show notes.
You know, it's interesting.
Last night, CNN broadcast worldwide.
First time ever exclusive.
Never been done before.
With 20 cameras, live from Broadway.
Right.
Yeah, there was some outrageous number of cameras.
20 cameras.
Can you imagine being the director?
I have to say, production-wise, dynamite.
I watched the whole thing.
Because I'm a big fan of the history of news.
Yeah, no.
I'm a big fan of the great wide ways.
Yeah, and there's no coincidence that the Chonies are coming up.
The Chonies.
Yes, the Chonies.
Yes, of course.
And I think Clooney is nominated.
So it's George Clooney.
Actually, a bunch of dynamite actors.
And they really did a good job.
The lighting was good.
It's about Edward E. Murrow.
Yeah, it's basically the movie.
It's basically the movie, yeah.
But it was very well done.
And I'm looking at it, I'm like, wow, this is pretty good.
A lot of smoking on stage, which, of course, back in the day was true.
What was the name of this product?
Good Night and Good Luck.
Right, which is the name of the movie.
It was a good movie.
Well, the play was good.
But at the very end, you know, Edward E. Murrow did this famous speech at some...
Basically, a republic if you can keep it type speech.
And so Clooney's up there at the very end, and it's setting this scene of him speaking to this large congregation of people about, you know, how he can use this medium for good or for bad.
And then it goes into this montage going all the way, so it starts off like, you know, first man on the moon and the Kennedy assassination.
And then as it speeds up, it moves all the way up through, you know.
Fox News about COVID.
Election deniers.
January 6th.
Rigged election.
Oh, yeah.
None of it was...
No, of course not.
And then the crowd went wild at the end.
Of course, you know, the bunch of elitist...
Yeah, they can spend $90 to $100 for a ticket.
Oh, more than that, I'm sure, for this televised version.
And I was so happy.
I'm like, this is really good.
I'm kind of like Clooney in general as an actor for some of the roles he plays.
But then that came, I'm like, you just basically left me with a taste of vomit in my mouth.
Like, that's all you could pick?
From all the nonsense, all of the garbage that we've been dealing with since we've been doing this show, all of the, like, right up until now, what you just said.
Just making stuff up.
And I was like, oh man, that's just too bad.
It's too bad, I tell you.
So, listen to some of the terms the foreign media is using about President Trump sweeping, sweeping up people.
Well, before you do that, you might as well wrap my clips up with it.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had any more.
Well, the three, the one I said was four.
Oh, it's four.
I got it.
Finally, you know, we're able to, he's able to, and his family's able to litigate these in a court of law rather than unable to communicate from essentially what is a terrible prison, a notorious prison in El Salvador that he was first taken to.
Senator, I want to ask you this.
If all of this ends several steps down the line with Abrego Garcia guilty in federal court and eventually deported, to you, is that still a win for the rule of law and the Constitution?
The answer is yes.
I will be satisfied so long as the rule of law applies, so long as there's no abuse of process.
And again, the overriding issue here is adherence to the Constitution of the United States.
This is not the only case.
Where President Trump and his administration are flouting the Constitution and due process.
But my bottom line has been and remains adherence to the Constitution of the United States, because if you put it at risk for one person, you do jeopardize those rights for everybody.
Well, he's not wrong about that, but I don't know.
He's not, but he's wrong.
I don't know if this is the right case, because it's going to look, it's going to be a lot of egg on people's faces when it turns out that this guy was.
Yes, I think that's what he's been doing.
I think this entire clipage that I played is damage control.
Okay, yeah.
Good point.
So it's preemptive damage control.
And I think he did a pretty good job of that.
If you don't realize that he lied about the guy who quit in protest and all the rest of it, and he soft-pedaled the whole thing, and now he's promoting it.
He prefaced the whole thing by saying, it's not about the man.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's about the process.
Yeah, good catch.
Good catch.
Well, so instead of playing you the...
It's not Pride Month.
It's World Pride Month.
I hope you've noticed this.
When did that happen, by the way?
Well, they did a rebranding.
When did that happen?
I'm asking.
This year.
This year was the first year of World Pride Month?
I believe so.
Yes, I believe so.
Well, they slipped that one by us.
And of course, just by calling it pride by itself, it's a sin to be prideful.
But that's just me.
So here's France 24. And listen to what they're saying President Trump is doing to the LGBTQ plus community, which really is only about the T's because it's very, very small.
I have noticed that most of the World Pride Month stuff, they do have some of the crazy flags, but they have mostly trans flags.
Yes.
Kamala is for they, them.
President Trump is for you.
From campaign ads targeting the transgender community to executive orders banning them from military service.
So, targeting.
No, that campaign ad was targeting the Republican base of Donald Trump.
It wasn't targeted.
It wasn't targeting them.
It was actually targeting the base he wanted to vote for them.
So, no, that's incorrect.
From campaign ads targeting the transgender community to executive orders banning them from military service, Trump has ramped up his attacks against...
It's attacks.
Attacks.
No, it's not an attack.
He had one proclamation about men or men and women.
Where's the rest of these?
It's plural.
That was plural.
I didn't hear it.
Oh, there's many more.
Attacks!
Trump has ramped up his attacks against the LGBTQ community, going as far as erasing any mention of them on the White House and several government agency websites.
Erasing.
This is another important term, erasing, because somehow the narrative has become Trump wants to erase...
Oh, that's my dog.
I'm sorry.
It's not me.
It's the dog.
Hey, Bubba.
It's okay.
What are you doing?
She's itchy.
The dog has wind chimes?
You're torturing the animal.
Phoebe, come on.
Can you imagine what it sounds like to a dog?
It's her collar.
The narrative is...
Erase, and with us that means trans.
It's not about lesbians and gays, it's about trans.
For the organizers of World Pride, the campaign has only increased the celebration's importance.
Through World Pride and all the prides that are going to take place, not just here in the United States, but around the world, this is the year that we need to ensure that we remain visible and seen so folks know.
Was there an invisibility problem that we're not recognizing when they got flags everywhere you go?
I'm telling you, this is the whole we're being erased, which is just not true.
I'm seeing zero evidence of this.
No, there's no evidence of it.
They're being emphasized.
Yes, exactly.
There's no evidence of them being erased.
It's just the narrative.
This is the year that we need to ensure that we remain visible and seen so folks know that there's a place for them, that there are people fighting for them.
For the LGBTQ community, resistance to Trump's policies is key.
Within the U.S., a group of transgender soldiers are challenging the executive order banning them in the military in court.
Abroad, some are making the difficult decision to skip the celebration altogether to avoid problems at the border.
So, somehow, they think they're going to have problems at the border coming into the United States because they're trans?
Yes, I've seen a bunch of TikTok clips on this, and they're holding up their passport, and it's an M, and they identify as a girl, and they look like a girl.
They get the voice, and they feel that this is going to get them thrown in jail or shot.
I don't know what they're thinking.
Meanwhile, others' privilege showing up.
Visibility is resistance.
When you say that we no longer exist, and then we show up in hundreds of thousands of numbers, then it defies this narrative that you have that we don't exist.
This is it.
We don't exist.
Yes, you do.
Everyone recognizes it.
You know, the funny thing is, there's this trans woman, Lynn Alden.
Lynn Alden is an economist and talks a lot about Bitcoin at Bitcoin conferences.
And I had actually asked someone, is Lynn Alden trans?
Yeah, it's trans.
Nobody cares because Lynn Alden just acts like a human being.
Just no one cares.
But when you just talk about them being erased and no one wants...
Lynn Alden's not a race.
Lynn Alden's one of the most visible faces in all of Bitcoin.
It's like, why don't you just act like a human being and a member of society, and then there's no problem.
Anyway, now we have the orchestra.
This is great.
Patriotism means, I'll get this right, loving your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.
The International Pride Orchestra had originally been in talks to play the Kennedy Center, the most prestigious venue in the United States, but those plans were dashed after President Donald Trump took office.
Dashed.
They were dashed.
They were dashed.
So, June 14th is No King's Day.
I thought it was Juneteenth.
No.
Isn't that 18th?
Isn't that June 18th?
Oh, okay.
It's on a Thursday.
It's a show day.
Oh, good.
Well, it's No King's Day.
No King's Day?
Yes.
By the way, I do have a World Pride Day clip I just noticed, so don't let me forget.
No King's Day is a nationwide day of defiance.
From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks.
Oh, No Kings is referring to Trump.
Yes.
We're taking action to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.
This is what democracy looks like.
NoKings.org is the website.
And, of course, can't really find who's behind all of this.
Soros.
Possibly.
It's organized by an outfit called a 5051.
Which refers to a nutball.
No, that's 5150.
Oh, right.
50501.
I haven't quite figured that one out yet.
It's upside down.
It's first and foremost a movement of, by, and for the people.
We are not nationally incorporated and have no plans to change that.
But they do have a lot of groups.
That work with them.
No voice unheard.
Build the resistance.
It's all socialist, by the way.
Build the resistance with a socialist fist.
I can't really find out.
It seems like there's a bigger organization behind this.
Yeah, I'm sure there is.
There has to be.
somebody's paying the bills.
So if you look at the We already got the Aboot page.
They have the partners.
If you can find one person, you can find associations.
So, 350.org.
Yeah.
Education, Healthcare, Public Services, American Humanist Association.
350?
Isn't 350 the parts per million group, the climate change people?
Yes.
ACLU.
The ACLU.
There they are.
Bend the Ark.
Jewish Action.
Black Voters Matter.
Climate Hawks.
Climate Defenders.
Communications Workers of America.
Common Defense.
I mean, there's a huge page here.
Families Over Billionaires.
Federal Unionist Network.
Federal Workers Against Doge.
Human rights campaign.
I mean, it's just...
Yeah, you have to wonder if they're all there on purpose, if some of them never agreed to this.
There's always that possibility because there's so many of these things.
Very possible.
You don't know.
You'd have to go try to track down someone at one of these operations and say, would you guys subscribe to this thing?
How much money did you give them?
This guy has to be on the mailing list.
Alright, what's your World Pride clip?
Well, it's a little Pride little thing.
It's got a little punchline.
I thought it was funny.
The BBC is hosting World Pride celebrations, a high-profile series of events highlighting LGBTQ rights.
This year's World Pride comes at a time when the Trump administration has targeted LGBTQ groups and people in a wide range of ways.
This year's World Pride comes at a time when the Trump administration has targeted LGBTQ groups and people in a wide range of ways.
By the way, I don't think it's been outlawed for gays or lesbians to be in the military, has it?
No, I don't think so.
No, I think that's okay.
Costly trans.
You've got to have drugs to keep you trans.
It costs a lot of money.
Taxpayers' money.
Screw it.
Costly trans.
Oh, man.
In a wide range of ways, from barring transgender service members from the armed forces to stripping gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship.
So, listen to the targeting.
What are the grievances, the targeting?
Killing them?
Is he disappearing them?
Is he erasing them from the voter rolls?
Is he erasing them from the face of the earth?
No, the issues are A wide range of ways.
This is it.
Pay attention.
Here are the issues.
Barring transgender service members from the armed forces to stripping gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship.
We took a name off a ship.
This is an outrage!
NPR's Alana Wise was on the scene ahead of today's big pride parade and joins us.
And heads up, you'll hear sirens in this piece.
Oh, heads up!
We don't want you to be triggered by sirens.
Hey, Alana.
Hi there.
What was the energy like on the streets right now?
Yeah, as you mentioned, this is the first year that D.C. is actually hosting World Pride, but it's also D.C.'s 50th anniversary hosting its own Pride celebrations, and people seemed really ready to celebrate that.
But, you know, more than a big party, Pride is also a call to action for the LGBTQ community to fight for their rights.
I happen to speak with someone named Kylan Mahaney from Virginia about why pride is so important.
We've got to be able to celebrate and be and be seen because otherwise we will be disappeared.
There you go!
You'll be disappeared.
No!
No!
You're going to be disappeared, Adam.
Get with it.
She said so.
You heard her.
Yeah.
Now, I...
The yawk clip, which should say talk, I'm sorry, is a bull dyke.
Oh, yes.
This is the one with the kid in the mall?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good clip.
I was misgendered yesterday.
Well, explain what she looks like, just so we can understand.
Well, if you don't know what a bull dyke looks like, she's got a really short haircut.
She's mean looking, but she's pleasant at the same time.
She is.
I mean, I can no other way to describe it.
But she's a lesbian, a harsh, harsh looking.
It's like...
Butch, I think is the term.
She's basically butch.
Very butch.
And if you saw her, you'd say, there's a lesbian.
By the way, if she didn't cut her hair, crop so short, she'd actually be quite attractive as a woman.
Wouldn't you say?
I mean, I saw this clip, so...
Sorry.
This is two times.
We only get two of these a show.
Okay, sorry.
But you do.
No, the interface just crapped out again.
Oh.
Yeah.
Did you hear what I said?
Yeah, I heard everything.
Okay, well, response.
I said if she didn't have her hair all chopped up, she would be quite attractive.
Oh, you didn't hear what I said, apparently.
No, no, I didn't hear what you said.
Oh, I said if you saw her on the street, you'd say, there's a lesbian.
Right, but I said if she didn't crop her hair all choppy, she would be quite attractive as a woman.
I think she could...
She has nice face.
She's got nice features.
She's got nice features.
I was misgendered yesterday.
A little girl at the mall, she was maybe five years old, sitting in a wagon, kept staring at me.
So I made eye contact, and she said, Are you a girl or a boy?
Her mom started to go, Oh my God, we accept everyone.
That's so rude.
You can't say that.
And I laughed, and I bent down on her level.
And I said, That's okay.
It's confusing sometimes.
I'm a girl.
I just really like boys' clothes.
They're pretty comfy.
She got all excited and she said, I'm a girl too!
And I gave her a high five.
I said, isn't it so great being a girl?
I love being a girl.
She said, yeah, that's my brother.
He's a brother because he's a boy.
So I said, you're right.
Brothers are boys and sisters are girls.
There's only boys and girls.
If you're born a girl, you're a girl.
I was born a girl.
I can almost see the release of air coming from her mother's body and just the ultimate sigh of relief that I wasn't going to be indoctrinating her child or teaching her child something that maybe she didn't want her to know.
I continued to talk to the little girl about her brother and her very cute dog who was also a girl.
I said, I hope you have a great day.
And I went about my business.
That is how you address gender to children.
You don't.
That is how you empower little girls and let them know that it's okay to be a girl.
girl who dresses however you want without having to change your gender.
That is how you avoid confusing children, especially children that aren't your own, and projecting your bullshit on them because you might be offended that they use the wrong pronoun.
Exactly.
That's an American.
Lesbian, whatever she is.
I don't care.
That's an American woman who gets it.
Don't push the crap on the children.
So, along those lines, yes, I have a TikTok clip.
Yes, I do.
Now, this is a very calm, very normal looking young woman.
And she explained something that I hadn't really...
What she is going to explain here is how liberal people, I don't want to say Democrats, but just people who were liberal.
Democrats.
I'll say it.
I wouldn't say, not exactly, when you hear what she has to say.
How Democrats, in your words, have been psyoped into staying away from healthy and wholesome things in life because it's all ridiculous.
I used to do CrossFit, like, literally every day of the week at 5am, and that might feel weird to you, because when you think CrossFit, you probably think alt-right, or not at least alt-right, but people who are conservative, because over the last, I'd say, like, seven years, there's been this shift where we are aligning fitness, and especially things like weightlifting and CrossFit in particular, with the right.
It slipped into that pipeline.
Years ago, if you used essential oils or you made your own bread or you had chickens, people didn't make assumptions about you wanting to be a trad wife who doesn't vaccinate.
Like, that used to just be its own thing.
Similarly to how, like, in the 80s or 90s, homeschooling wasn't owned, really, by, like...
And now homeschooling itself has shifted to where if you're not homeschooling in that way, you have to actually differentiate that.
And so you have to say we're part of XYZ homeschooling.
Like there's different brandings now of homeschooling.
But now there's this association.
Of, like, CrossFit is MAGA.
Homeschooling is MAGA.
Wanting to have chickens and my own eggs should not be a red flag of a political alignment.
Like, just let me want my own chickens, please.
Yeah.
Just killing people with this nonsense.
Yeah, it is.
really true and I could not believe You're MAGA.
Not to change the subject, and you can get right back to it, but this egg thing that just took place, the ridiculous, and people should go to the FDA, I guess it's the FDA website, and look at the number of brands that this one egg provider with salmonella-laced eggs, it's everybody.
The old brand, 365, they have all the packages shown there.
And we're all going to die?
Rallies.
Not necessarily, no, but what got me, They all come from one supplier?
One supplier is supplying at least 20 brands of eggs.
Which seems to me, why don't they just have their own damn brand?
There's none of their brand.
So you're ruining the reputation of all these companies, including, oh, the organic operation that runs out of Whole Foods.
Oh, really?
0365, whatever it is.
That's one of them.
Yeah, 365, yeah.
New Laid, which I always thought was just a big egg produced.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
So even the so-called organic eggs all come from the same chicken poop farm?
Yeah.
Nah.
You know how I got my eggs this morning?
Mike.
That's what you're supposed to do.
I get eggs from Jay.
Well, Mike came up to me in church.
He says, hey, I put two cartons of eggs under your car.
Don't drive over them.
That's how I get my eggs.
Well, hopefully you remembered.
Yes, I told Tina.
Otherwise, I might have forgotten.
But yeah, that's how you get your eggs around here.
You know why?
Mike's got too many eggs.
He does, obviously.
He's giving you two whole cartons.
Yeah, and the only thing he says, can you give me the cartons back?
That's all he wants.
Yes, all the egg guys.
This is true of all guys who give eggs or even sell eggs out of their backyard.
They need those cartons.
So above all miracles what took place, even for Fox News, where this is from, all of a sudden...
So after years of being one-upped by plant-based alternatives like oat milk and cashew cream, real dairy products, like especially raw milk, are having a comeback.
They're having a moment.
So talk to us about raw milk because, Nicole, it's not easy to get raw milk.
Me and Charlie talk about it a lot.
It's easier to get meth than raw milk.
This is a good point.
In America, it's easier to get meth than raw milk.
That's a great line.
That's a very good line.
Talk about it a lot.
It's easier to get meth than raw milk.
He said that his dealer got arrested, his raw milk dealer.
The reason people started to go away from animal dairy, you know, cows'milk, sheep's milk, goat milk, is because there were some studies a couple of decades ago saying, you know what, there's high fats and there's high cholesterol potentially in these animal-based dairy products.
Well, most of that research has essentially been determined to be obstinate.
And in fact, animal-based dairy is the best for you.
High in nutrients.
Those proteins are complete.
It's incredibly good for you.
Great for your bone, your skin, your entire body.
So my children have always had whole milk.
Now what you're talking about is raw milk.
So when you just go to the grocery store, that's not raw milk.
That's animal dairy, which is great for you.
But there are concerns with that in terms of hormones, antibiotics, and some of the other things that come along with it.
The reason you have a hard time getting raw milk, Rachel, is because it's illegal in about 20 of our states.
And you can't even sell it across state lines.
And the reason that it's become illegal is because the government has stepped in because there are some concerns with raw milk in terms of certain bacteria like E. coli, campylobacter, and some others.
But the reality is there are safe ways to have raw milk, raw dairy.
It's just a matter of where you get it from, just like everything else.
Nutsap is on the out!
You know, most of the cheese in Europe is made with raw milk.
Yes, of course.
And most of the cheese in the United States is made with pasteurized milk.
It's extremely rare to find raw milk cheese made in the United States.
And the cheese in Europe is better.
Now stay with me because now we're going to go from raw milk to Operation Stork Speed.
Have you heard of Operation Stork Speed?
Stork, like in the baby carrier?
That's the one.
Wait, let me do it.
No, I have not.
Operation Stork Speed!
Welcome back, Democrats.
On Capitol Hill, pushing back on HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s Operation Stork Speed.
Hold on a second.
Stop, stop, stop.
Where'd you get this clip?
Fox.
It's funny they said, welcome back, Democrats.
She should have had a two-beat pause, but she didn't.
No, actually, she had the pause.
That's the problem.
She said, welcome back, Democrats.
And then, yeah, she had the pause in the wrong spot because you know why?
She's a news model reading it from the prompter.
Welcome back, Democrats.
Welcome back, Democrats.
Scroll up.
Welcome back, Democrats, on Capitol Hill pushing back on HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s operation.
Literally, she didn't have time to preview the script because I'm sure she was doing her hair, you know, or whatever.
I don't blame her.
I blame the script writer.
I hate to say it, I blame the teleprompter operator.
The teleprompter operator should have put a comma or a new line.
The teleprompter operator doesn't write the copy, they just move the copy.
I don't know any teleprompter operators that actually wrote teleprompter copy.
They will edit and format all the time, these days.
Not the old school days, because it was just paper on a conveyor belt with a camera above it.
A good teleprompter operator will see this.
Well, somebody's fucked up.
And I don't blame the reader at all.
She's supposed to read what's put in front of her.
And she did.
Welcome back, Democrats.
No agenda.
Welcome back, Democrats.
On Capitol Hill pushing back on HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s Operation Stork Speed.
The FDA is launching the first review of baby formula ingredients in three decades.
They're aiming for more testing for heavy metals and contaminants, clearer labeling on formula.
20-plus Democratic lawmakers now are telling RFK Jr. he is essentially killing his own project's chances.
They say the decision to lay off 20,000 HHS employees and 3,500 FDA employees, including those who oversaw health and safety research of infant formula, sets this operation up to fail.
We're here to respond to that is the FDA Commissioner, Dr. Marty McCary.
Doctor, thanks for being with us today.
Great to have you.
Perfect voice on this issue.
What's your response to that criticism from Dems?
Well, for the last 26 years, we've seen really no innovation in baby formula.
So the current system is not working.
The FDA doubled the number of employees here at the agency since 2007 to today.
So doubling the number of employees has not fixed the baby formula problem.
The problem is that the government issues a recipe, and companies must follow that recipe to get baby formula out on the market.
And so for 26 years, we've seen...
Moms want baby formula without seed oil, without corn syrup, without added sugar, without arsenic and lead and other heavy metals.
And so we convened a group of experts to figure out how we get this right and how we modernize the way we approve baby formula in the United States.
All right, so here is, and I have two more short clips on this because I didn't know that The exit strategy out of this is going back to boobs.
What happened to that?
What was wrong with breast milk?
I'm asking you a question.
Well, I think they're assuming that most mothers breastfeed.
Oh, I think you're wrong.
And then they have breast pumps to get the excessive milk, and then they put that, and that's what they use in a bottle.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I'm quite confident that the baby formula lobby has psyoped everybody into believing you just need baby formula.
I'm not so sure.
I mean, the last time I saw a woman breastfeeding was a no-agenda meetup.
You see a lot of breastfeeding in the San Francisco Bay Area, and that would be the place you'd think there would be, you know, I mean, I don't know.
There should be a survey done.
If a woman can breastfeed, there's absolutely no reason that you would ever use baby formula.
It's not going to be as good ever.
Now, Tina is texting me, and I was going to say this.
She says some women can't breastfeed.
They have issues with attaching or producing enough milk.
Now, I'm not a woman.
If you say you had twins, or if you had triplets, you're not going to be able to handle it.
In agreement.
But to me, it sounds like the majority is using formula.
I don't think so.
Well, you know what?
Neither of us really know.
No, we don't know.
Neither one of us actually know.
I would assume the opposite.
We need an expert.
We need stats.
Call the Archduke of Luna.
Yeah, the Archduke of Luna.
Lover of America and lover of boobs.
He would be the clearinghouse.
Yes.
Darling, do you want to come in and be the expert?
She's blowing up my phone.
Look, I'm not right.
Okay.
There you go.
The expert speaks.
I'm not right.
That would mean I'm right.
Yeah, you're right, I guess.
What was that again?
You're right, I guess.
I guess.
Okay, you are right.
You're correct.
Sir.
So what did we do?
Sir.
You are right, sir.
What did we do before baby formula?
Did the children just die of malnutrition?
Yes, they just died.
They gave them water.
They just died?
They just died.
Or, from what I understand, there's a lot of...
dark networks who trade baby milk, mothers who have excess and they sell it or they trade it.
Okay, in a minute.
You're already right, sir.
No, no, but I was just going to say, if you go back in time before baby formula, which is obviously a mishmash of stuff, why wouldn't you just give the kid cow's milk in a bottle?
Well, neither of us know.
Neither of us know.
But I would like to know, before Formula, what happened?
I mean, some people are saying wet nurses.
I've heard of that.
Yeah, there's that.
Yeah.
I'm sure that you can...
Now, here you go.
Tina, who should just get on the mic, actually, is telling me that Saddle Tramp, Saddle Tramp listens to the show.
Yeah, you do.
She's a producer.
Saddle Tramp, she could not produce or could not attach or whatever.
And she made her own formula with raw milk.
So there's playing into your theory.
I would just like to know, if these are new issues, what happened?
Why can women no longer provide their milk?
So just tell me what happened back on the prairie.
Little House on the Prairie.
What did Laura Ingalls do?
That's all I want to know.
And I'll continue with the atrocity that is baby formula, which makes me want to breastfeed.
I'm like choking as you're talking.
Full disclosure, doctor, I've got a five-month-old on formula at home.
I do know now a considerable number of moms who are essentially importing baby formula from European countries because it is so-called cleaner.
You know, it has less preservatives, less chemicals.
Is that a good thing to be doing right now?
Well, look, our process in terms of our regulation of baby formula has been frozen in time.
There have been incredible advances in nutrition science.
We had an expert this week at the I don't think so.
We had an expert this week at the FDA on our expert panel talk about how in primate studies, when primates are fed a certain kind of baby formula, that is with a certain kind of seed oil, their visual acuity was worse on the eye chart.
This is important research.
We've got to innovate.
Seed oil is blinding people.
Their visual acuity was worse on the eye chart.
This is important research, so we've got to innovate, and that's what we're doing here.
Okay.
What about expeller seed oils?
Expeller?
The whole thing is out of control.
Yeah.
Now, I've had this article- By the way, I'm somewhat in agreement with you because I think that the women of the world, but in America mostly because we're suckers, have been sold a bill of goods on this idea of formula instead of natural breastfeeding.
I know what you're thinking, even though I got you to agree with me, but I know exactly what you're thinking because there's been a movement, a propagandistic movement.
It's the way it's called a formula.
Get it?
Yep.
No, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
So that's all I want to know is before formula, just in 1849, go west, young man and lady and family.
What would they do?
If they could not produce breast milk, could they?
It was always, hey, no problem, I got it.
Or they have attachment problems.
Did they not have those problems?
What caused those problems?
This is what Operation Stork should do for me.
I want to know more about, like, they have no problem.
Well, raw milk is great from a cow, but now you need innovation in baby formula.
So Marty here, Dr. Marty, He seems more like he's working on behalf of Big Food than on behalf of the American people.
If he's on TV, of course.
So I've had this article for the past three shows.
No one has done a news report on it, which is bothersome.
Ah, you couldn't find a clip.
No, exactly.
I've got a bunch of those backed up too.
It's like, where's the clip?
Where's the media?
Why isn't this being covered where somebody's actually saying something?
Yeah, and so I've been reluctant to talk about this because I don't like spiking the ball unnecessarily.
And it's not exactly spiking the ball.
You love spiking the ball.
No, not yet.
But it showed up in the New York Post.
So that means eventually Fox News will do a story on it.
This is about Ozempic.
Many male Ozempic users are saying since they started injecting the weight loss shot, their penises have grown.
Some say up to one inch.
Oh, brother.
This is like...
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
This would be something that maybe you should experiment with.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I still want to be able to walk, you know?
No, that's not the line.
The line is big enough.
Well, I did it in my own way.
You just didn't like my punchline.
Yeah, it wasn't as good.
didn't like my punchline.
Okay, now I would just like to, for a moment...
Oh, by the way, no, I have one more big pharma clip here.
When we're talking about new pandemics and, you know, the COVID, if we've got the M-Beta 8128.111 beta pre-release.
You know, just as an aside, my favorite, I don't have a clip, but it's awesome.
Every newsletter.
McCullough.
By the way, I'm sick and tired of McCullough and Pinsky going on TV selling crap.
Yeah, it's a little bothersome, isn't it?
It's very bothersome.
And then they have their websites and they're selling crap.
Overpriced ivermectin.
Very expensive.
Overpriced ivermectin.
Overpriced everything.
You can get it elsewhere cheaper.
Yeah, I agree.
But the latest thing flowing around.
Next means horrible death.
And next spike, the new Moderna vaccine, next means horrible in Latin.
It means horrible death in Latin.
Oh, interesting.
Have you seen these?
No, I haven't seen that yet, no.
Well, you will.
But the funny thing is, if you do a Latin translation, I mean, if you wanted to have more fun, next does mean death in Latin.
Spell that next, N-E-X?
N-E-X.
Yeah, next.
Nobody said anything about Nexium, which has been around for 30 years, but okay.
But if you use Nexspike, which is the name of this vaccine, and you put that in the Latin generator, it means don't.
Which is actually funnier.
Yeah, that is good.
No, the only thing, this just caught my eye because it's like, when you're pushing this, the, you know, the next spike and the new pandemic and all the...
Just bothered me.
Native to Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, pangolins are the only mammals covered in scales.
No, not the pangolin!
This baby pangolin lives at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, the only place in the U.S. where visitors can see pangolins up close.
Pangolins are also one of the world's most trafficked mammals, prized for their meat and scales, which are used in traditional medicine.
Poaching and deforestation of their natural habitats have drastically reduced their population and several pangolin species are now listed as threatened or endangered.
Now a new Netflix documentary is bringing long overdue attention to the creatures.
Pangolin, Kulu's journey, follows a baby pangolin as he journeys back to the wild after being rescued from poachers.
I don't know.
It just doesn't sit well with me.
Like now all of a sudden the pangolin is some endangered species.
I thought they were running around Asia spreading COVID all day long.
I guess not.
Pangolins.
Okay.
They are cute.
It became the topic for at least 48 hours nonstop.
Nonstop.
You can say you're right, Adam, anytime.
I was always in agreement with the thesis that this is bullcrap.
You started off by saying it was boring and no one cares about it.
No, I'm not changing my mind about that.
It is boring.
My presentation was long and uninteresting to you.
It was long.
Okay.
You said it was uninteresting, no one was talking about it.
It doesn't matter.
I never said no one was talking about it because you had introduced it.
All you have to say is, you're right, sir.
You're right, sir.
Okay, good.
So, to prove that we both were correct, That this is a game.
This is WWE.
This is something they agreed ahead of time.
The Apprentice and his phony baloney.
He did it in The Apprentice.
He created phony feuds.
All of these.
All of these things.
It's all completely set.
And by the way, Elon deleted his ex-post about Trump being in the Epstein files.
oh, really?
I want to interrupt, and somebody pointed this obiosity out that we should have caught too.
If Trump was in the Epstein files, it would have been revealed during the election cycle.
Oh, the Democrats would have used it.
Instead, they had to make up Russiagate.
They had to make up Stormy Daniels, whether it was made up or not.
They went after that.
Of course, these files have been with the FBI since Trump's...
Or did kill himself?
I don't know.
We've already lost track.
Yeah.
Kash Patel, by the way.
I'll get to that in a minute.
So, Mike Johnson goes on ABC, and he screws up.
He screws up.
He gives it away.
Well, the president suggested he could cut Musk's contracts.
Obviously, Musk companies rely heavily on government contracts.
Can he do that?
Is that something he should consider?
Is this Jonathan Carl?
Yes, I think it is Jonathan Carl.
Yeah, he is such a...
He's your buddy.
Oh, no, that's not your buddy.
The other guy's your buddy.
No, no, he's not my buddy.
But listen to what Johnson says.
He gives it away.
Heavily on government contracts.
Can he do that?
Is that something he should consider?
Look, I'm not going to get into the strategy of what happens with all of that.
I mean, what I'm trying to- I'm not going to get into the strategy of all of that, what happens.
In what case would you say that when it's about this feud, so-called feud?
That's a very interesting catch.
I'm not going to get into the strategy of all that.
Yeah, I wouldn't have caught that.
I heard it right away.
Yeah, the strategy.
You wouldn't use that word unless there was something going on.
Exactly.
Rely heavily on government contracts.
Can he do that?
Is that something he should consider?
I'm not gonna get into the strategy of what happens with all of that.
I mean, what I'm trying to do is make sure that that we get the one big beautiful bill done and then hopefully these two titans can reconcile.
I think the president- Just stuttering.
This guy is not a stutterer.
No, it's his tell.
It's his tell.
It's a total tell.
And he's stuttering like a madman because he knows something.
He knows that this was set up as a strategy.
For whatever purpose, and he's nervous, and he's shaking like a leaf, basically.
Although this gets resolved quickly.
that we get the one big beautiful bill done, and that hopefully these two titans can reconcile.
I think the president...
And do you know how you can...
You know that this is phony.
When John and I have a disagreement, just a disagreement, sometimes it gets a little heated.
We go back and forth.
Not like we've never gone to bed angry.
It can get heated.
It used to be really on my side.
People will email, oh, don't do that.
They'll be tweeting, mommy and daddy are fighting.
Because they get uncomfortable by it.
They feel very uncomfortable.
I guarantee you no one felt uncomfortable about this.
No one felt like there was an actual friendly relationship, good friends, who've been working together, that anyone felt like this was so real, like, oh, I feel really uncomfortable about this.
I don't think anyone felt that.
That's a good point because nobody, I don't see any evidence that anyone felt that anything was going on other than it being an exaggerated news story.
Well.
Yeah.
And the ball's going back and forth and back and forth and then with some end point inside.
I think that this is going to kind of continue as a fake feud until after the midterms.
This is, I think, a lot of this has to do at the midterms.
Well, I mean, and now I'm like Mike Johnson.
Here's the report about...
President Trump, who really sticks it out there.
In the explosive feud playing out in public yesterday between Trump and Musk, the world's richest man warning Trump's tariffs will cause a recession this year.
It's one of the many allegations Musk made about Trump, including posting on X. Without me, Trump would have lost the election, adding such ingratitude.
Musk also calling for Trump to be impeached and accusing Trump of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Musk providing no evidence to back up that claim.
ABC's John Carl speaking with Trump on the phone this morning.
There's been reporting out there that the White House is working to put together a call between Elon Musk and Donald Trump to broker some kind of
Now, the little element there that I think is important is the Elon dropping the impeachment word out there because that has to be in play.
It has to be impressed upon the Republican voters who never come out for the midterms, who just as soon let the whole Congress slip back to the Democrats.
They have to have it in play that if the Democrats get Congress, the first thing they're going to do is impeach Trump again.
Now, the thing that was just disappointing is All of the right-wing, alt-right, alternative media, all the podcasters, all are saying, well, this is what it was all about.
Ben Shapiro, Ben Shapiro says, oh, you know, it was really because Trump wouldn't accept Elon's suggestion for NASA administrator.
And there's more.
I think Megyn Kelly, you know, it's like, come on.
This is stupid.
The fact that Ben Shapiro is falling for this, unless he's been read in on it, that's very possible, but I don't think so.
It's possible that more than one of the right-wing broadcasters have been read in and just said, go along with it, we'll deal with it later.
It's possible.
We never get read in on anything, I should mention this.
We don't get read in.
We don't know anything.
We are just pure analysts.
We don't know nothing.
We don't know nothing.
You can't put anything on us.
You can't put us in a torture rack.
We can't tell you anything.
So this brings me to a portion of a note that I got from one of our nights.
And yeah, because we've been deconstructing a little bit of the podcasts, which is amazing.
Our people are getting their media.
And here's an excerpt from our night's email, which I really appreciate he said this, but I have thoughts.
It has occurred to me to wonder if moving towards including podcast content in the show might alienate listeners.
In recent months, No Agenda has analyzed clips from three podcasts that I listen to and have highly favorable thoughts about and feel loyalty towards.
One aspect of the no agenda humor is the disparaging tone used when analyzing media.
This works well for me as a listener because I realize what junk the M5M has become, and so I enjoy it.
It is uncomfortable to hear someone you admire and respect go after someone else you admire and respect in that tone.
So, this is important.
Because we have always, not that we're always right, we have always Said what we think and we believe.
We're not read in.
We don't know nothing.
We're just analyzing media because we've grown up.
I've literally grew up with it, and you've been in it longer than most people can remember.
And we have never, never thought, oh, let's not mention this.
This might piss off our listeners, which it has.
COVID in the beginning, people were livid.
Ukraine war, same thing.
COVID in the middle.
People were livid about the menstrual when we looked at the numbers.
That's not true, you're full of crap, you can't read me.
Ukraine, right away, right away we said this is a psyop, here's how it started.
People in Texas were mad at me because people in Texas had Ukraine flags out.
By the way, no longer.
Good for them.
Finally getting a clue.
You know, when we...
No, we do not believe that Israel controls the entire U.S. government.
People get pissed off.
Yeah, why do people want the government to be...
Well, because people want to make sense of their world.
And when things happen that they feel doesn't make sense, It's, you know, and then you've got to listen.
When you go to the podcasters who are saying this is true and that, you know, and they respect those podcasters and we say no, it makes them feel uncomfortable.
Well, let me put it to you this way.
If you go through an entire No Agenda episode and you haven't felt uncomfortable once, you should probably consider going somewhere else.
Because you should feel uncomfortable from time to time.
What job are we doing?
That's called audience capture, which we get accused of all the time.
We do?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, of course.
How does that go?
They're only saying this for the people who send them money.
Saying what?
For the people who send them money.
Oh, they're not talking against the Jews because they get all that Jew money.
Oh, the Jews.
It's always about the Jews.
Not often.
It's been other things in the past.
Dude, I even saw a donation come in today.
Here.
I'm going to read it ahead.
Ross Johnson.
Nighting donation.
I haven't donated in years because Adam hated Elon.
No, because of Adam's Elon hatred.
Obviously, he's been short-selling for years.
Adam flips like a fish out of water.
That'll be the day.
Adam flips out like a fish out of water because of facts on X. What?
Since when did I flip on Elon?
I've always said the same thing.
All I'm saying is, I don't believe that Elon and Palantir are all going to take over the world with their AI.
Grok, like all other AI, is a piece of crap.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clip, but the story about the 700 Indians posing as AI.
Yeah, I've had this story for four shows, and we've never...
I almost got to it two weeks ago.
Microsoft invested in it.
Yeah, it's too funny.
So you'd send off, like, I want some code to do this, and the Indian, the anonymous Indian in the back, they were all coding it up, and there was not a single...
Yeah, exactly.
Which brings me to this clip.
Calling to mind an army of robots from the sci-fi movie iRobot, leading AI firm Anthropics CEO Dario Amadei warned of a labor market bloodbath caused by artificial intelligence that could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years.
And there's a little bit of truth in what he's saying, but there's a lot of exaggeration, too.
Taming Silicon Valley author and AI expert Gary Marcus is skeptical.
Entry level workers probably are the most affected, but most white collar jobs aren't going anywhere that soon.
In a memo shared by Shopify CEO Toby Lutka in April, he said before asking to increase headcount, teams must demonstrate why they can't get what they want done by AI.
Businesses are using AI as an excuse because they want to cut employees and so they use it as a cover.
Mounting evidence of a phenomenon that's hard to track, of jobs quietly disappearing because of AI.
By the way, did you see that story about the 700 anonymous Indians?
Masking is an AI company.
Was that really big on CNBC?
Were they really like all over that?
Like Hawks?
Like, wow, I can't believe Microsoft got scammed on this one.
I don't think so.
Because they want you to buy, buy, buy, buy.
If the AI bubble pops, there's going to be blood on the moon.
Well, because of the amount of money and the capitalization and the rest of it.
Yes.
It's not going to pop anytime soon, by the way.
Well, no, because they'll obfuscate all of that.
So I truly believe because of the AI hype, there will be more jobs than ever.
I've had a lot of experience in the past three months with AI and coding as a non-coder.
It is atrocious.
But if you're a coder, you can certainly use...
Like as in you, sorry, I don't want to say coder.
If you're a software engineer, you can certainly- I don't like coder.
You can certainly use the large language models to check syntax and to save you some time on things.
And yes, of course, you can say, hey, build me a check-in script so when people come to the front desk, they put their...
All right.
You don't need to employ a full-time employee to do those types of things necessarily.
But I've talked to enough dudes named Ben and dudettes named Bernadette who say, no, no, you cannot put this in the hands of mere mortals.
It doesn't do the job.
The only thing we have to be worried about with AI is people's loneliness.
It was actually Rolling Stone of all publications.
I did not expect this from them.
People are losing loved ones to AI-fueled spiritual fantasies.
People are moving towards artificial intelligence, i.e.
chatbots, let's just call it what it is, because they're lonely, and they want to have interactions, and these interactions with men, of course, frequently lead to sexual fantasies, and it's no different than the 900 lines back in the 80s.
You'd think that you were talking to some hot chick and people were paying $2 to $5 a minute.
It was a lot.
Yeah, people were losing their mortgage money and all kinds of stuff.
And so people are turning to chatbots to alleviate their loneliness.
Actually, I should mention I never thought about this because I forgot about those 900 lines.
And they always had a lot of advertising on TV.
Oh, all the time, back in the day, sure.
It all just disappeared kind of overnight when people started.
When the internet came along.
Well, I think there was more of the abuse of people.
They would get one of these 900 number lines, and it wasn't for chatting, but they'd use it for customer service.
And they would, and people would say, could be put on hold and they didn't know they were on a 900 line that was charging them $2 an hour.
And they get these huge phone bills.
I remember thinking of people talking about, look at this $5,000 phone bill.
I think the whole thing died off because of that more than the internet.
Well, the internet didn't help.
Well, no, of course.
The internet didn't help anything.
But, you know, so when I went to the NRB, the National Religious Broadcasters Conference, there was this company.
I don't want to mention the company because it doesn't matter, but they were I don't think they called it that.
But you put this chatbot on your website, and their testimony was, well, people will tell their intimate thoughts and spiritual issues to a chatbot sooner than they would say it to a pastor.
And the danger in all this, of course, is that you need human connection with people.
This is the absolute danger of artificial intelligence is the parlor trick, the chat bot.
And in fact, one of our producers sent me a...
And Meta is way ahead of everybody.
And they're smart because instead of trying to, you know, make a...
Any app you want in the world, they're creating bots.
Engagement bots.
So one of our producers sent me a screenshot of a Facebook chat group for the Lake Elizabeth families.
So Lake Elizabeth, small community.
They have a little Facebook group.
And all of a sudden, Lizzie pops up.
And Lizzie is a cute little robot.
looks like a robot, you know, about the size of a...
The size of a small doll.
Hi there, I'm Lizzie.
The group's AI.
I'm a resource here to help you in the group.
You might start seeing me comment on posts if I can find relevant past content so you don't have to dig.
And posts to help you catch up on group activity or even get a conversation going.
Like, this is bad.
Wow.
Yeah.
This was bad from one perspective, but it's effective.
Yes, it's effective.
And people are just, I mean, this is your dead internet happening as it takes place.
And by the way, the most underreported story from two weeks ago regarding AI.
Today it's my honor to officially sign the Take It Down Act into law.
It's a big thing, very important, so horrible what takes place.
This would be the first ever federal law to combat the distribution of explicit, imaginary, posted without subjects'consent.
They take horrible pictures, and I guess sometimes even make up the pictures, and they post it without consent or anything else.
And very importantly, this includes forgeries generated by artificial intelligence known as deepfakes.
We've all heard about deepfakes.
I have them all the time, but nobody does anything.
I asked Pam, can you help me, Pam?
She says, no, I'm too busy.
Too busy doing other things.
Don't worry, you'll survive.
But a lot of people don't survive.
With the rise of AI image generation, countless women have been harassed with deep facts and other explicit images distributed against their will.
This is the wrong, and it's just so horribly wrong.
And it's a very abusive situation, like in some cases people have never seen before.
And today we're making it totally illegal.
So, of course, the news media did nothing with this.
No, there was no reporting on this whatsoever.
None.
For several reasons.
One, it's about AI, and we all think the memes are funny.
Two, it is a project spearheaded entirely by the First Lady, Melania Trump, so we can't give her any props for anything.
But here is the funniest part of it.
So I go to the Library of Congress to read the bill.
Like, that's what I do.
So this is about artificial intelligence, because that's what makes these things, creating really horrible images.
Of Taylor Swift.
Well, kids are doing it on their classmates.
Yeah, this is disgusting.
Kids are the worst.
But it's about AI.
And I'm reading the summary.
The summary is generated by AI.
Listen to this.
This bill generally prohibits the non-consensual online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals, both authentic and computer-generated.
When you start off by saying this bill generally prohibits, Generally, I've never seen that in the Library of Congress.
Never.
Separately, covered platforms must establish a process through which subjects of intimate visual depictions may notify the platform of the existence of and request removal of an intimate visual depiction, including the subject that was published without the subject's consent.
I'm telling you, this is a Chad GPT summary.
I've read enough of them.
It's just, it's hilarious.
Well, that's ironic.
So it's very interesting because these specifics are intimate visual depictions of an adult subject where publication is intended to cause or does harm.
Or does cause harm to the subject where the depiction was published without the subject's consent, or in the case of an authentic depiction was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy, Glenn Greenwald, or a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.
This is a pretty broad bill.
I guess covered platforms must remove such depictions within 48 hours of notification.
Under the bill, covered platforms are defined as public websites, online services, or applications that primarily provide a forum for user-generated content.
You know, like our end-of-show mixes.
User-generated content.
So, no coverage of this whatsoever.
No coverage.
And I think that's a pretty big deal.
It's the editors.
The editors of the major news outlets are no good.
They're the ones who do the headlines that are misleading.
The editors write headlines.
People in the business know this.
Once in a while you can get a headline through, but rarely.
The editors are, oh, I got a better headline than that.
And they're the ones who assign stories and they're the ones who promote stories in the meetings.
And say, we're going to cover this, we're going to cover that, we're not going to cover this, and we're not going to cover that.
It's the editors of America.
You remember Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said, well, if I'd known that was in the bill, I wouldn't have voted for it!
Yeah, she got suckered.
Yeah, she did.
Well, here's the details about this 10-year AI regulation ban on the states.
There's a section in the big, beautiful bill that would move to update federal government systems with the help of AI.
So, what could this mean on a state level?
Our sources to answer this, the U.S. Congress, Catawba College political professor Michael Bitzer, and the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The Big Beautiful Bill outlines the initiative in Section 43201.
It would grant $500 million over the next 10 years to, quote, modernize and secure federal information technology systems.
But the bill would also ban state-led AI regulations and block dozens of states from enforcing pre-existing rulings.
So anytime the federal government tells the states what they can and cannot do, that's a component of federalism.
Now oftentimes that might get challenged in court by various states.
Right now there is no centralized federal oversight of AI leaving states to navigate the ever-changing technology on their own.
This type of regulation is something the federal government has done for decades.
One example is raising the drinking age.
The reason that we have a drinking age of 21 was federal legislation.
Back in the 1980s, the federal government said states, if you want federal highway funds for your interstate highways, you have to raise your drinking age from 18 to 21. When it comes to how individual states can respond...
And so this may be the ultimate inroad.
If this does get passed within this legislation, some states may say, you know, we want the power to be able to oversee AI in our borders.
We're going to challenge this in federal court.
Yeah, it's going to be a question of, oh, you don't like it?
No money for you.
And I think the state should have the right to regulate that however they want to.
I have mixed feelings about it.
I don't like the idea of this in certain situations where you have one state saying one thing, another state saying another, and it becomes a problem because of the, especially anything regarding AI, which is ultimately connected to the internet, which goes beyond state lines.
Yes.
Yeah, well, Marjorie Taylor Greene would not have voted for it if she knew that it was in there.
Yeah, sure.
Can I just take us down a quick path of NATO and Zelensky and the drones?
Because it's interesting what's happening here.
I have clips, if I could follow up with you after you're done, I have clips on this.
So right now we're in a quite honestly, President Trump is demanding from them to buy our military gear.
And so let's listen first to the Swedish Minister of Defense.
NATO needs to achieve a strong ability to deter and defend.
We take note of Russia right now being bogged down in and around Ukraine.
It hasn't been successful so far, but we also know after an armistice or a peace agreement, of course, Russia is going to allocate more forces closer to our vicinity.
Therefore, it's extremely important that the alliance use these couple of years now when Russia is delimited by its force postures in and around Ukraine and also that it's It's been weakened by the war that we do a historic build-up on our armed forces.
I do want to convey that this is an historic moment for Europe.
If we are able to reach 5% by 2030 or 2032, we're going to go up to a defense investment that was at the height of the Cold War, and it's necessary for us to strengthen our ability to defend and continue living in peace.
Okay, Sweden's in for 5%.
Let's go to Lithuania.
This is Paul Johnson.
No, that was Pada Johnson.
what's her name here?
Deauville Saclin, She's the minister of defense for Lithuania.
Oh, that's the Swedish guy again.
Hold on a second.
Here she is.
Well, yesterday it was just, you know, informal meetings about that, but today we are going to have a real discussion.
So my question to my colleagues is that if we all trust our intelligence, if we trust NATO military intelligence, and they say that it's just a few years until Russia is going to be able to test NATO, then what are we going to do?
Ask them for extension.
Ask them to delay the deadline.
This is not going to happen.
So therefore, I'd like to hear the answers.
What is then their plan?
Translation, if we don't do it and Russia attacks, we're going to say, hold on, we got to get the money?
Very smart.
Miss from Lithuania.
But it was Ruta, short clip, who gave it away.
When I heard him, I'm like, okay, I see what's going on here.
He was asked a question at this minister's summit.
He's always there.
By the way, look, I'm just going to say maybe he has a cold, but he is touching and rubbing and sniffing.
and his nose is like that.
I've never seen him do this, but he now answers a question about- Yeah, and I'm not the guy who spots that.
You're usually the guy who spots that.
And now Dave Ackerman, who sent me this clip, he always sends me the...
He now calls him White Lines Rutte.
And so White Lines is talking about hybrid warfare.
Hybrid.
Ah, this is something new.
Two things.
First, when we discuss hybrid, that we realize that that is basically an umbrella.
For sometimes an assassination attempt on the CEO of a big company.
Sometimes the jamming of commercial airplanes in parts of NATO airspace.
Sometimes even cyberattacks, for example.
And I mentioned that before.
The example you know at the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.
So we have seen this.
We have seen the Skripal case in March 2018 in the UK.
I think we're good to go.
To make sure it stops.
And that is what the hybrid strategy is all about.
Yeah, the hybrid strategy, the only thing he didn't mention is the drones.
Because that has been the change.
This Operation Spiderweb from Ukraine against Russia, I think, was a big promotional push.
And we'll just, a little background.
You heard it in your news overview from ABC.
Here's Martha Raddatz with the president of Ukraine, the dancing Volodymyr Zelensky.
Let's talk about Operation Spiderweb.
Please.
So you believe you did destroy maybe 40 aircraft?
maybe 10 to 20, how many did you destroy?
We think, and we have our President Zelensky describing the operation as complicated and clandestine.
18 months in the making, so secretive not even the US was informed.
We have to prepare such plans.
By the way, bullcrap.
I agree with you.
Bullcrap.
Bullcrap.
It was just the plausible deniability bullcrap.
Making so secretive, not even the U.S. was informed.
We have to prepare such plans.
And we are not stopping.
We have to prepare such plans because Russia can't We don't really know if they will stop this war.
They don't want.
They don't want to stop the war.
This is the problem.
The key to the plan?
Ukrainian drones, just like these, which the president's office arranged for us to see this weekend, simple yet deadly, packed with an explosive unit.
This is one of many drone production facilities across Ukraine, spread out across the country.
We can't tell you exactly where we are, because obviously these facilities are Russian targets.
Okay, so obviously it's very secretive what she's doing and everything there.
This is a little more background on Operation Spiderweb.
The 100 drones used in Operation Spiderweb were smuggled into Russia, hidden in containers with remotely controlled retractable roofs.
The drones had all been concealed on trucks with Russian drivers, unknowingly delivering the payload.
They didn't know anything.
They didn't know what will be on the roofs.
They didn't know just when it will, because they didn't know what will be.
That's why they didn't know when it will be and where.
I think this is important, very important.
And those drones and the Ukrainian pilots guiding them, knowing the Russian aircraft's most vulnerable spot where the fuel is held, after examining old Soviet aircraft still in Ukraine and on display.
And we have heard that they knew what parts of that airplane to hit.
Yes.
Because you have airplanes in museums.
Yes.
They knew exactly where to hit.
And they did it exactly what was in their idea.
Step by step, they did very clearly this operation.
Okay, so now let's talk about this operation.
Let's talk about this operation.
From a podcast, Preston Stewart, and I'm not going to poop on Preston.
No pooping on Preston.
He had a...
I mean, the whole podcast, like 40 minutes, is great.
it's in the show notes.
This guy talks about the drones, about how they get, if they create a drone configuration that kills Russians, they get a bonus.
I mean, it's like a game.
It's literally like a video game.
But then you got to kind of get into, because he's a Ukrainian speaking English, listen to what he says about where the drone's So, I think many countries, many companies, they want to bring their weapons here to clarify, is it working?
Many companies, from many countries, want to bring their weapons here to, he says, clarify.
In other words, to verify, certify that their weapons are working.
To test market.
To test market.
Thank you.
Many countries, many companies, they want to bring their weapons here to clarify, is it working?
And they use it like assistance to Ukraine.
Some drones we buy from the government.
Some drones still now are sent to Ukraine as a gift.
I know some very rich guys, especially now one American guy doing very big gifts to the Ukraine army.
One big rich American guy sending drones to the Ukraine army.
Really?
He really saved many of our lives because he does his job well.
And his drone is not so expensive.
His drones are cheap.
He sends them to us for free to go test market them.
And then right on cue, the Wall Street Journal.
I'd never heard of the JCU.
Remember we heard that guy, the lieutenant colonel, the propagandist about drone warfare.
Oh, we're not ready.
We've got to get ready.
We've got to get ready for the drones.
Well, the Wall Street Journal did a report.
On the JCU drone anti-drone warfare and how they're training our troops.
The U.S. military has launched a new school to train American armed forces in how to counter the emerging threat of drones, or what it calls Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS.
The first academy of its kind, the Joint Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems University, or JCU, will train about 1,000 troops a year.
Warfare is changing very fast.
This threat right here, this current threat with respect to UAS, it's the pace of your phone changing.
This footage is from a Ukrainian drone attack carried out against Russian forces.
And this video is from a Hamas drone attack in November, carried out against Israeli forces in Gaza.
The proliferation of small, cheap, commercially available drones is transforming modern warfare.
And this has not been lost on the Pentagon.
Colonel Mosef Sauda is the director of the JCU.
The pace of the need is outgrowing capacity right now, so we're trying to train as many people as possible and trying to grow as fast as possible to fit that need.
Today, students at Fort Sill are training on weapon systems to counter small, unmanned aircraft.
The students are also learning how to use another handheld system, the drone buster.
Whereas the smart shooter utilizes the 5-5-6 round, this is known as an electronic attack system.
So, the soldier is taking this here and they're pointing it in the general direction of the target that they see.
And then the soldier placed it in operation, utilized various jamming means to in the President Trump!
This came in two days ago.
President Trump orders restrictions slashed on U.S. drones.
Executive orders give local law enforcement more power to take down rogue drones.
Okay.
Well, isn't that interesting?
This thing was a sales video.
The sales video I am familiar with internal discussion, says our, of course, anonymous source familiar with the matter.
I just listened to your Iron Dome versus Golden Dome presentation on episode 1770 at the 48 minute 30 second mark.
You are correct in your concept, but incorrect in your nomenclature.
Iron Dome is out.
There is only Golden Dome.
Golden Dome is very broad.
Multiple layers.
Sea, land, air, space, cyber.
That should draw a better picture of the concept's correct nomenclature.
The golden dome will be against drones.
It is the boondoggle of all boondoggles that President Trump is launching here for the military-industrial complex.
Huge boondoggle.
Ever that's not a boondoggle.
Right.
Besides World War II.
But when you throw in the drones, hybrid, baby.
This is what Ritter is.
Ritter is the sailor.
He's the brown shoes.
Hybrid.
Oh, it's hybrid.
We got to have Golden Dome against poisoning people.
Golden Dome against shooting executives.
Golden Dome against cyber.
Golden Dome against drones.
By the way, listen again, because...
To the Swedish defense minister, what the Swedish defense minister says, and this is someone who's in the conversations about Ukraine and Russia.
Well, yesterday it was just informal meetings about that, but today we are going to have a real discussion.
So, my question to my colleagues is that if we all trust our intelligence, if we trust NATO military intelligence, and they say that it's just a few years until Russia is going to be able to test NATO, then what are we going to do?
Ask them for extension?
Where is this?
Oh, crap.
Oh, crap.
I cut it out.
It's my best part.
I did it again.
Well, that's why I didn't spot it.
Yes.
She said armistice.
Whether there's going to be a peace or an armistice.
Crap, I'm sorry.
I blew that one.
Yes, and you were accusatory.
Yes.
No, I thought I was slim and sly.
She mentioned armistice.
It's going to be an armistice that will never be a peace.
It will be an armistice after the big NATO summit meeting, after everybody is, all the defense ministers have agreed.
They all sign their checks.
It's all going to come in.
There's going to be one big golden dome over America and probably over Europe.
Oh, golden.
It's going to be beautiful.
A beautiful golden dome.
Go meta on this whole thing and say that the Russians are in on this.
And let's let them blow them up and we can start up our industrial complex and make some extra money for the public.
Whatever they just blew up has to be built again.
Bigger?
Better?
Oh yeah.
War is a racket.
This whole thing.
And unfortunately...
Because, you know, they blow up all these...
And so they blow up all these Russian bombers.
And the Russians don't make a bigger fuss than they did?
They threw a few more drones and almost killed somebody.
Did you see President Trump?
Did you see President Trump with Mr. Peepers?
Yeah, I did.
This was...
I'd love to have that.
I'd like it to start.
Right now, we would leave a room.
This is President Trump talking about peace between Russia and Ukraine.
I'd love to have that.
I'd like it to start.
Right now, we would leave a room.
If we knew the war could end, we'd say, forget about you guys.
Forget about trade, right?
We'd say, let's go settle it.
There's some additional fighting that's going to go on.
You know, he was he attacked and they attacked pretty harshly.
They went deep into Russia.
And he actually told me, I mean, I made it very clear.
He said, we have no choice but to attack based on that.
And it's probably not going to be pretty.
I don't like it.
I said, don't do it.
You shouldn't do it.
You should stop it.
But again, there's a lot of hatred.
Yeah, President Trump's saying it's going to go on for a little bit longer.
And then Peeper's pipes up.
And says something very interesting.
We get satellite pictures of the Warfield, and you don't even like to look at them, right?
It's terrible.
It's so bodies, arms, heads.
You've never seen anything like it.
It's so ridiculous.
And this is only by Russian weapons against Ukraine.
Notice what he said.
Oh no, there's only Russian weapons against Ukraine that blow up the people.
That is not happening anywhere else.
Legs all over the place.
You've never seen anything like it.
It's so ridiculous.
And this is only by Russian weapons against Ukraine.
This has never happened with Ukraine weapons against Russia.
Never happened with Ukraine weapons against...
You mean those drones that come in and fly, you know, poor Russian soldiers running around and the drone just blows up on him?
That didn't happen?
Never.
Ukraine is only targeting military targets.
Not civilians, not private, not energy infrastructure.
So this is the difference, and that's the reason why we are trying to do more on Russia, how to stop this war.
Well, in this case, I'm talking about the battlefield, you know, the soldiers on soldiers.
But you could also say that, too, with the cities.
The cities are being hit also.
So it's a terrible, terrible thing, right?
Terrible, terrible.
Oh, you had to course correct.
That's interesting.
Yeah, because Peeper's like, oh, Yeah, Mr. Peabers is an idiot.
Yeah.
And then Trump says something very interesting, which, of course.
And, you know, I'm very proud of the fact that with India and Pakistan, I was able to stop that, and those are nuclear powers.
That would have really, that was getting close to being out of hand, and I spoke to some very talented people on both sides, very good people on both sides, and I said, you know, we're dealing with UN trade, Pakistan and India, right now.
I said, we're not going to deal with you in trade if you're going to go shooting each other and whipping out nuclear weapons that maybe even affect us.
Because, you know, that nuclear dust blows across oceans very quickly.
It affects us.
And I said, if you're going to do that, we're not going to do any trade deals.
And you know what?
I got that war stopped.
Now, I hope we don't go back and we find out that they signed it, but I don't think they will.
They were both good.
They were well represented.
I want to congratulate both countries.
Because, as you know, the leader of India, who's a great guy, was here a few weeks ago.
We had some great talks.
We're doing a trade deal.
And Pakistan, likewise, they have very, very strong leadership.
Some people won't like when I say that, but, you know, it is what it is.
And they stopped that war.
Now, am I going to get credit?
I'm not going to get credit for anything.
They don't give me credit for anything, but nobody else could have done it.
I don't get credit for anything.
But I believe it.
I believe you called them up and said, hey, stop that nonsense.
There are no trade deals.
I believe that.
I believe it too, but I think the good people on both sides.
That's funny.
That was funny.
That was funny.
That was very funny.
The good people on both sides.
Good people on both sides.
Oh no!
We're talking to China again!
We had a very good conversation with President Xi a little while ago, just before your arrival.
In fact, we just hung up and they said, you're here.
I said, that's pretty good.
Two great leaders of the world in a very short period of time.
We had a very good talk and we've straightened out any complexity.
It's very complex stuff and we straightened it out.
The agreement was we're going to have Scott and Howard and Jameson.
We'll be going and meeting with their top people and continue it forward.
But no, I think we have everything.
I think we're in very good shape with China and the trade deal.
We have a deal with China, as you know, but we were straightening out some of the points having to do mostly with rare earth.
Magnets and some other things.
So it's reduced trade tariff rates.
They remain in effect?
We have the deal.
I mean, we've had a deal.
We announced the deal.
And it would be, I guess you could say...
I would say we have a deal and we're going to just make sure that everybody understands what the deal is.
Okay?
They had a deal?
Yeah, he stumbled there.
I don't think he meant to say that.
He kind of backed away.
They have a deal, obviously.
Clearly they have a deal.
Yes.
Something's up.
Yeah.
Probably a counter for the stock market going up a little bit.
Yeah.
There was one other thing that I thought was, you know, we're in the season of reveal.
I mean, season of review!
Well?
Well...
Sorry.
Well, the first thing for the season of reveal, this was also in the It was in the Wall Street Journal.
Pentagon disinformation that fueled America's UFO mythology.
Did you even hear about this?
No, tell me.
A tiny Pentagon office had spent months investigating conspiracy theories about secret Washington UFO programs when it uncovered a shocking truth.
At least one of those theories had been fueled by the Pentagon itself.
The congressionally ordered probe took investigators back to the 1980s.
Remember that whole hearing?
And everyone was like, oh no, I've seen it.
It's off-world.
And we're like, these guys are full of crap.
When an Air Force colonel visited a bar near Area 51, a top-secret site in the Nevada Desert, he gave the owner photos of what might be flying saucers.
The photos went up on the walls and into the local lore went the idea the U.S. military was secretly testing recovered alien technology.
But the colonel was on a mission of disinformation.
The photos were doctored.
The now-retired officer confessed to the Pentagon investigators.
The whole exercise was a ruse to protect what was really going on in Area 51. The Air Force was using the site to develop top-secret stealth fighters viewed as critical edge against, at the time, the Soviet Union.
All those TikTok videos and stuff, trust me, this is all bullcrap.
All of it.
All of it has been to cover up their own stuff, which probably doesn't work very well.
Season of reveal.
But that didn't reveal much.
What?
That the Pentagon itself was lying about UFOs?
Where's that in the news?
Well, it's in the Wall Street Journal, but who cares?
Of course.
The Pentagon was lying?
Wait a minute.
Let me get this straight.
The Pentagon was lying?
Well, yes, gambling.
Is gambling going on and that to you is the season of reveal?
Because it's been unknown in the past that they lie?
About the UFOs specifically.
Listen, Joe Rogan's upset.
Well, that could be maybe it's a meta.
Maybe they're living with some aliens in the White House as we speak.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I should have figured that one out.
That would be your perspective.
I don't get it.
Why you're knuckling under here to what might be an op?
I don't think so.
Here's another season of reveal.
A Japanese aerospace company trying to put a lander on the surface of the moon says it has lost contact with the craft.
Resilience is owned by iSpace and this is only the third time in history that a private company has tried to reach the moon.
It's also the first time a company outside the US has achieved this feat.
Resilience is an uncruised spacecraft which was carried into orbit by a SpaceX rocket in January.
Keith Carrings, a space expert and editor of nasawatch.com.
He joins us from Washington, D.C. Now, iSpace, the Japanese enterprise, they lost communication as the lander approached the surface of the moon.
We seem to hear that a lot when people try and do this.
Yeah.
Going to the moon is straightforward.
Orbiting the moon is straightforward.
Coming down close to the moon, sending pictures is straightforward, but landing is always hard.
They were going kind of fast when they lost the telemetry or the data, so I really don't think we have a healthy spacecraft on the moon.
We may have a crashed spacecraft.
Right.
So getting this far, is that getting as far as actually starting to approach the moon to try and land, is that standard or is that actually quite an achievement?
You know, the idea is to go to the moon and land there.
And we sort of have, again, the notion of going to the moon and going around it is easier than doing all the rocketry so the thing lands exactly how you want it.
I'm happy that they made it that far.
I just wish they would have gone a little bit further and a little slower.
50 years ago, we did it in a tuna fish can.
How can it be hard?
55 years ago.
This is the second half of show stuff.
They were missing so much.
We never landed on the moon in the first place.
The Japanese make great cars.
They can't even land on the moon.
It's all fake.
Russiagate was a setup.
Really?
Did you watch the whole thing?
I watched about 70%.
Did you watch the whole thing?
I didn't watch any of it.
I don't really watch too much Rogan.
It was only on for two hours.
The timing is interesting.
And about Epstein, well, you know, we're going to get everything.
Yeah, the Epstein thing is hilarious, the way they're handling it.
Yeah, we have to cover up a lot of stuff.
We've got to protect the innocent.
But we're doing it.
We're going to release an artificial intelligence.
of showing that he's by himself.
The AI keeps giving Epstein six fingers on one hand, It's just a matter of time.
They've got to keep regenerating it to have it.
But what I like a lot, and I know that this is bubbling, and he's been talking about it more and more, this is really going to come into play.
This is the auto-pen controversy.
Well, look, the auto pan, I think, is the big scandal outside of the rigged election of 2020.
I think the biggest scandal of the last...
And who's using it?
I happen to think I know, okay, because I'm here.
And I'm not a big AutoPen person, fortunately.
I'm glad.
I'm very glad.
It's an easy way out.
But it's a very bad thing, very dangerous.
You know, I sign important documents.
Usually when they put documents in front of you, they're important.
Even if you're signing ambassadorships, I consider that important.
I think it's inappropriate.
You have somebody that's devoting four years of their life or more to being an ambassador.
I think you really deserve, that person deserves to get a real signature, not an AutoPen signature.
And I can tell AutoPen easily.
I can look at it like two little pinholes from pulling the paper, right?
You always see the pinholes.
It's real easy to tell about AutoPen.
I think it's very disrespectful to people when they get an AutoPen signature.
Outside, autopen to me are used when thousands of letters come in from young people all over the country and you want to get them back.
And, you know, people use autopens for that.
You send a little signature at the bottom of a letter.
We have thousands of them.
We get thousands of letters a week.
And it's not possible to, you know, I'd like to do it myself.
You can't do it.
To me, that's where auto pens start and stop.
But I don't think, I'm sure that he didn't know many of the things.
Look, he was never for open borders.
He was never for transgender for everybody.
He was never for men playing in women's sports.
I mean, he changed.
I mean, all of these things that changed so radically, I don't think he had any idea that what was, frankly, I said it during the debate, and I say it now, he didn't have money.
I have a bunch of an idea of what was going on.
I mean, essentially, whoever used the auto pen was the president.
And that is wrong, it's illegal, it's so bad, and it's so disrespectful to our country.
I smell something coming.
Well, there is something coming, but it's interesting to listen to Trump because what he said there could have been said in 15 seconds.
He just is the most long-winded guy.
I know, I know.
He's going to wear everybody out.
I mean, he gets us to under our two-minute time limit for a clip, but just barely.
But I like the two little pinholes.
You can tell because of the two little pinholes.
That's interesting.
I didn't know about that with the auto pin.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, he does season of reveal material.
Season of reveal, yes.
So now we all know what to look for.
Yeah.
But if those...
Thank you.
Do-over?
That's what they're working on.
That's where they're headed.
They're trying to do that so they can pull the pardons on some of these people.
Yes.
No, that's it.
That's it.
To pull the pardons on those people.
I think that's it.
That's all that he's going to do.
Everything else is complicated because of...
That's complicated.
But the pardons, yeah.
I can see that's where he's going.
And I think he's targeting Adam Schiff.
Pencil neck, that'll be funny.
Yeah, Adam Schiff is in deep shit, this guy.
Yeah, California.
By the way, on the quads right now, protests erupt.
Ice against protesters.
And literally, the ICE guys are just standing there in a line.
Nothing's happening.
CNN.
Protests erupt for third day!
ICE raids!
BBC.
National Guard troops clash!
There's no, it's not a single, they're literally standing there.
There's not a single clash taking place.
Standoff between National Guard and protesters on third day in LA!
MSNBC.
Fox.
House subcommittee to hold hearing on anti-Semitic attacks.
Okay, there you go.
No wonder people listen to podcasts.
So I have two clips before we go to the break, which I think is overdue.
Yep.
Because these clips, I put one, this has been in for probably a month, these are Andrew Tate warning clips.
But I want to play these two clips one after the other, and one of them is because it doesn't make sense.
There's something going on.
This guy is an op of some sort.
I've never understood.
I haven't really paid attention to it.
You have the same sense I do.
Something is amiss.
But this is Andrew Tate, Arrest PBS.
Prosecutors in the UK say that the influencers, Andrew and Tristan Tate, The Tates were arrested in Romania in 2022 and indicted last year on charges of sexually exploiting women.
Andrew Tate was also charged with rape there.
British prosecutors say the two will be extradited to the U.K. once the Romanian case is concluded.
The Tates are dual citizens of the U.S. and U.K., and they deny any wrongdoing.
Romania thing is odd.
Okay, so we have what sounds like you've got two horrible people that are under arrest.
But then explain the second clip.
The online influencer and self-declared misogynist Andrew Tate has been fined and suspended from driving after being caught doing nearly four times the speed limit in Romania.
Officials say the British American national was driving nearly 200 kilometers an hour in a village, despite a 50 kilometer an hour limit.
Mr. Tate and his brother Tristan face charges including rape and human trafficking in Romania, as well as separate allegations in Britain and the United States.
They deny all those accusations.
Wait, so this was from yesterday, by the way.
So these guys, all this bullcrap, and they're just floating around, driving around at high speeds and carefree?
Does this make any sense at all?
No.
And how does Romania fit into it?
What are they doing in Romania?
Why Romania?
There's something very suspicious about the whole Andrew Tate situation.
Yeah.
Yeah, I...
I don't know who they're coded for or why or how, but then the whole 200 miles and 200 kilometers an hour.
That's very fast.
That's very fast in a village.
That is fast by any standards.
Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the ice federalization.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeMora.
Yeah, in the morning to you, Mr. Andrew Greenman, a ship of sea boots and rat feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
Morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Stop.
Hey, I need more bangs, more bangs.
It scatters them.
There you go.
We're back on par.
We're back on par.
22.47 at the peak.
That makes sense.
That's about right for a Sunday, isn't it?
22.47?
No, it's down.
24 is what we should have.
Oh.
Oh, well.
Hello, trolls.
Good to have you here.
We appreciate you all so much.
The trolls hanging out in the troll room at trollroom.io.
Hey, I got a lot of feedback on the new podcast apps.
Everyone's like, yeah, man, Apple should be using PodPing.
We talked about it on the last show.
Yeah, PodPing.
Yeah, guess who didn't call Apple?
Why would they?
Eh, I know.
You said it a couple of shows ago.
Not invented here.
It's a mantra of Silicon Valley.
Podcasting wasn't invented there either.
Yet they love that.
Well, they've assumed somehow they've assumed that it was invented there.
Yeah.
So everything else is not invented here.
I bet if you stand outside that spaceship and you say, hey, who invented podcasting?
They all say, Steve.
Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs.
Of course.
Yeah, he invented it.
Yeah, probably true.
Yeah, that's what you do.
That's how you do it.
Yes?
Silicon Valley.
So if you want to stay in touch with your favorite podcast, don't be duped.
Don't be duped by the legacy apps.
They're no good.
Get a modern podcast app.
Hundreds of thousands of podcasts are using the technology that updates within 90 seconds of posting, or as some would say, downloading!
And of course, the new hot stuff is the live podcast, and there are a lot of podcasts, particularly on the No Agenda stream.
I think all of them use the We call the lit technology, the live item tag for live.
So your podcast app will notify you when they go live.
This is what you want.
Many more features as well, podcastapps.com.
Thank you to our artists.
Wow.
I guess we were wrong.
In the value for value model, we have many ways people can contribute and support the show.
One of them is, well, two of them are with time and talent.
And we love our artists who are always helping us by giving us artwork to use for, For the album art.
So it's always exciting.
And we've been doing it for, gosh, well over 15 years, I think.
Maybe even longer.
We've had no artgenerator.com.
And we were pretty convinced that Digital 2112 Man was an alias for Darren O 'Neill.
It turns out that's not true.
It turns out to be a real person.
At least, unless it's an op that's so elaborate that I don't even think Darren would do it.
Yes.
But he's obvious, he says himself, he's actually an expat.
He hates the term, but he is.
He lives in Madeira, Portugal.
Yes, that was interesting.
And he is a former, not a spook, but former guy.
I forgot what he did.
Some kind of thing, yeah.
And he moved to Portugal for the cheap drink, alcohol.
Cost of living, and he was in Madeira that got good wine there.
I give you a Madeira, Madeira.
So it seems as if he's using the same tools and has developed the same prompting techniques as Darren, giving us results that are almost identical.
Well, and there it is.
There is the fallacy of AI.
Like, it all starts to look up.
It all looks like the other one.
It all sounds like it.
And, of course, Darren never chimed in to say anything.
He wanted to take credit for being a smarty and giving him more credit than he deserves, which he loves.
Darren deserves a lot of credit, man.
Well, he's a very talented person.
He is.
And he's like 6 '9 or something.
6 '9?
Yeah, he's huge.
He's like Lurch.
Gives you a different view.
Hello, I'm Darren.
I'm Darren!
You rang.
You rang.
We want to thank Blue Acorn for his AI prompting skills.
I think.
I don't know.
I'm afraid to say it.
I'm sure.
You don't know.
Blue Acorn doesn't always use AI.
He's told us that.
This could be just Blue Acorn.
He brought us the artwork for episode 1770.
We titled that one Control Grid.
I did get some people thanking us for talking about Catherine Austin Fitz.
They, too, are tired of the adult Whitney Webb that she sometimes turns out to be.
And this was the salmon to the face, which, and I think I copied you on the reply, someone reminded me that this was a Monty Python skit, although not with salmons.
I think it was herring.
Well, it was herring, then it was followed by a salmon, or some big fish.
Yeah.
Where they were slapping each other in the face with the fish.
So, yes.
But if you're from Holland, you understand these types of expressions, getting hit in the face with a wet salmon.
And it was a funny piece.
I think we both went, yeah, let's do that one.
Let's do blue acorn.
Well, it wasn't anything better.
You did like the control grid.
I didn't like that at all.
Let me see what that was.
It was down further.
There wasn't any real killers.
There was a lot of Trump, Elon stuff.
Trump and Elon.
We try to not put people in so often.
And a lot of socks.
A lot of socks.
I can't remember what the sock reference was.
We were talking about socks made in America.
Gold toes.
Yes, exactly.
No, I like the one with Trump and Musk laughing and then the CNN headline in the back, Trump and Musk at war, but you nixed that.
Probably rightly so.
A lot of them boxing.
No, we looked at that.
Let's see.
Control grid.
I don't see the control grid.
Oh, look, there's Darren Lahren.
There's Darren.
Darren posted, don't fall for the cheap imitations.
I am not digital 2-1-1-2, man.
Okay.
Cheap imitation.
And again, I'm just looking at tons of AI.
It's sickening.
It's all AI.
There's a piece or two that's not.
It's all starting to look like the piece next to it.
All of it.
I'm not seeing that.
Oh, come on.
You're a hater.
It's boring.
Let's just face it.
It's boring.
I'd rather have bad mixes for end of show.
The mix that you've got coming up is the worst mix you've probably ever produced?
I produce nothing.
I just get what people send me.
It's probably the worst mix you've ever approved?
I approve everything.
It's user-generated content.
That's how it works.
Sometimes they're great.
People at the end will hear it and they'll probably never listen to the show again.
Oh, really?
AdamMcCurry.com, if you like the piece, tell them that John's full of it.
And these mixes that we have today on today's show are fabulous because that's what Adam thinks is going to happen.
And I disagree.
But I could be wrong.
They could be terrific.
Hold on, hold on.
Maybe I don't like them for some psychological reason.
Yes.
And I don't like people that just clip us saying something and then repeating it over and over and over and over again meaninglessly with no song involved or any creativity whatsoever.
Says the guy who likes house music.
Who says I like house music?
You like that techno.
You like techno.
You're a techno guy.
I've heard you like it.
Okay, so what?
But that's what they're making.
Well, that's an interesting approach.
Well, here's the thing.
So, people don't know this if you don't listen to the live show, but I'll play the end of show mixes before the show starts, kind of a little warm-up after Darren, and we just get going.
And then, typically, I open up John's mic and I say, in the morning.
And then you say, in the morning.
And then I do the whole fat lady thing.
And it's okay if you don't like the mixes.
But when I say in the morning and you say, I think we should get rid of those.
We shouldn't play those.
Those are no good.
We should get rid of the whole segment altogether.
Is that not what you said?
Well, I didn't use that intonation.
That's how it sounded in my ears.
Well, everything to you.
But you didn't even say, good morning, in the morning, hello, hello partner.
I'm glad you showed up again.
Well, first of all, first of all, you were late.
So I go...
I was not late.
I was not late.
I turned on the...
For the show, and I was running long, and I just hadn't brought up clean feed yet, and you're texting like, where are you?
How come it's not?
In that exact tone.
Let me see.
Let me read it to you.
Yes, it's exactly that tone.
Here it is.
Why are you not online?
Question mark, question mark, question mark.
Three question marks.
How am I supposed to?
Is that why you're not online?
Or is that, why are you not online?
What's wrong with you?
It was in all caps the way you're expressing it?
You know, funny enough, you didn't even capitalize the first letter of the sentence.
Of course not, because it was low-key.
I thought, here's what I thought.
I thought you were using the old instance.
Well, that wouldn't make any difference.
You can come in on the old instance or the new instance.
No, I only have one that I can come in on, which is the new one.
No, the other one still works.
Yeah, but I don't have a link to it anymore.
My point is, I didn't change, you changed.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
No, you usually have the whole hour of Darren, and I like listening to Darren's stuff so I can complain about it.
And he, I have to say, he did have a, I think it was Def Leppard doing a version of a traveling band.
Do you not know that this is...
Do you not know this is on the Know Agenda stream and if you can listen to it there live in real time?
I've done that, but every so often when I do that, I leave the stream running and it confuses everything because you get this feedback and it's like, you can't...
Thank you very much.
We're done now.
I just want to make the point that the troll room is now, Mommy and Daddy are fighting.
Oh no.
The troll rooms are a bunch of weenies if they think that.
They're weenies.
They have some issues.
My point is, they didn't feel that way when Trump and Elon were fighting.
Point made.
Let's thank our producers.
We thank everyone who sends us a financial donation, $50 and above.
We'll thank you by name.
We'll thank you with the amount that you sent us.
And, of course, we have our executive and associate executive producers.
A gambit we made up because we want people to feel good about donating more when they can, when they feel like it, when they've received value that equals the amount they're sending in to us.
And so with that, we said, you know what?
What makes Hollywood different from us?
We're a part of the establishment.
We can give out executive and associate executive producer credits, and it turns out it's true because people can use them on imdb.com.
It's just the same whether you're a producer on the latest Clooney movie or the No Agenda show.
You are a producer.
Congratulations.
So here's how it works with these particular titles.
$200 or above, you get an associate executive producer credit.
Good for your entire lifetime.
Doesn't expire.
We'll read your note.
$300 or above, you become an executive producer.
And we read your note, and again, that doesn't expire.
And we kick it off today with the one and only Sir Dirty Jersey Whore.
That guy, by the way, is also 6 '9".
And he's probably 260 pounds.
He's huge.
And he comes to every single meet-up in Texas.
He's in Gladewater.
He sends us $1,033.
And he says, I hope this donation of 1033 finds you well.
I reckon I'd like to get one of those highly sought-after PhDs.
The extra $33 hopefully offsets the legacy banking system fees.
No jingles, no karma, just John's best.
I'm not buying it.
I'm not buying it.
I believe this donation brings me to Baronet status.
I was originally inclined to forego the upgrade because I believed the title to mean small or female.
However, after an informative chat with my local AI chatbot, I found that it's not a diminutive term.
The et as opposed to et with double T-E ending comes from Old French, but it doesn't imply small or female.
A baronet is still addressed as Sir, and the title passes down to male heirs, unlike a knighthood, which is not hereditary.
This is a good point.
So when you die, your kid gets it.
Anyways, please ask everyone to come to my meetup in Longview, Texas at the end of the month.
It'll be fun, and you'll get to meet the world-famous Sir Brian with one eye.
Adam and John, thanks for all you do.
It does not go unnoticed.
Y 'all be good, says Dirty Jersey Whore.
Thank you, DJW.
We really appreciate that.
Next donation is from Anonymous in New York.
This donation came in in a very small envelope that was completely taped in every which way.
And Jay didn't want to open it.
She said, there's something in here.
It's all taped up.
I can't open it.
Fentanyl, fentanyl.
I'm going to get killed.
So I had to take a knife and rip through the tape to cut it open.
I said, I guarantee there's a big check in here because that's what people, when they...
It's like a giveaway.
And it was.
There was a check for $500 from someone who did the right thing.
You want to be anonymous?
We had a complaint from someone who was a spook that sent something in through Stripe and bitched at us for saying his name.
Do you want to send it in cash?
In an envelope or, yeah.
Well, this guy did his check and he had...
Anonymous, anonymous, anonymous.
So we got the picture.
Was it a picture?
Oh, no, we got the picture.
I get it, yes.
We got the picture.
No, he's anonymous at 500 bucks, so we appreciate that.
But he gets a double-up karma.
Because he had no note, which is always worth a double-up karma.
All right.
Oh, here we go to Ross Johnson.
Read him earlier.
$333.39, knighting donation.
Now, is he getting knighted?
Is he on the knighting list?
Let me make sure.
I want to make sure we get him knights.
I haven't donated in years because Adam Elon not even donation He's not on the list, so that has to be evaluated.
Well, maybe he should clarify.
Yes.
I haven't donated in years because of Adam's Elon hatred.
Seriously?
Obviously, short selling for years, which is just funny.
I know that's...
Adam flips like a fish out of water because of facts on X. It's not a terrible platform, right?
Dude, if you hate me so much...
That's the best.
That's what you want.
Call out Douchebag Fritz for his youngest graduating high school.
Douchebag!
Okay, there you go.
Thank you very much, Ross Johnson.
I have never shorted.
I've never shorted.
He doesn't short anything.
I've never shorted.
It's non-trivial.
He put a big heart at the end, an emoji.
Yeah, I guess it's all.
Maybe it was just all in jest.
That could be.
Maybe he's just chiding you.
Yeah, that's possible.
That could be, because that's what the heart's for.
Regardless, I forgive him of his debts, as I forgive my debtors.
Indy No Agenda Meetup came in from Greenwood, Indiana.
They're always doing a meetup all the time.
They have big, big, big meetups.
Yes, Mark and Maria.
So they got $333.33 for us.
And this is the Indy No Agenda Meetup raffle switcheroo donation for Jason Soderlund.
Soderlund.
So he'll be credited.
Yes, he will.
Thank you, Adam and John, for your good humor and perspective.
Thanks also to all the producers who silently work in the background to keep the show going.
I expectedly want to thank Dreb for his tireless effort in putting the chapters together.
Yes, Dreb Scott, everybody.
No, it's very appreciated and adds a lot to the show.
I went to my first meetup in Indy last weekend.
Oh, this is Jason writing this.
Oh, they gave Jason the ability.
He wrote the note.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Went to my first meetup, had a great time, and having won the meetup donation raffle, I decided to add to it to get his producer credit, executive producer credit, so he needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
And then he has a plug that you'd like, Men of No Agenda.
If you're looking to cultivate a Bible reading discipline in yourself, go to sonsofsolomon.net.
Peace in Christ, he writes.
Jingles request, what's that in your mouth?
SonsofSolomon.net, what's that in your mouth?
It's beautiful.
Yeah, it's kind of interesting.
It's awesome.
JCD Hot Pockets Karma and No Karma, just prayers from, and he says, Pax Vobiscum, Jason Sutherland.
Hot Pockets.
What's that in your mouth?
Still gets me.
Thank you, Jason.
Mike Rulon in White Salmon, Washington, 333.33.
He says he wants a double F cancer.
You've got karma.
You've got karma.
What a f***!
The fucking guy.
Don't do that.
We don't do that all the time, but since he asked for it.
Karma.
There we go.
And you can read the next one since it blows up my spreadsheet.
Trevor Lohman, Redlands, California, $210, associate executive producer.
He says, I've been listening since 2013.
I was donating steadily, but unfortunately lost my healthcare job for not accepting the vaccine into my life.
Once I could finally get a lawyer to take my case, I learned that the statute of limitations had expired.
Oh, that's interesting.
Hmm.
I wonder what the statute of limitations were on and what they were for.
Seems pretty short.
Yeah.
This has a statute of limitations.
He's going to have to explain it to us.
Yeah, I'd love to know.
In an ironic series of events, I'm now a professor of neurology at a Big Ten medical school.
Things have a way of working out.
I would be happy to replace your long-lost brain professor if you're still in the market.
Yes!
But are you a libtard?
It doesn't quite work if you aren't a libtard.
This is my first donation in five years, and it brings me to knighthood.
Please knight me, Sir Writer of Words, and plug my recent book, God's Eye View.
The book explores the true experiments in neuroscience and quantum mechanics that support, rather than refute, the existence of the human soul.
Send me a copy.
Wow.
That's cool.
Please also plug the Grimerica Show.
The Brothers of the Serpent podcast and my own podcast.
Oh, I'll listen to your podcast.
The podcast plug.
Yes.
And my own podcast, God's Eye View.
Oh, I know, Trevor.
He actually sent me the book.
Oh, brother.
Yeah, well, he wanted me to write a blurb, but his deadline was too tight, and I just couldn't get through it.
Oh, man, I can write a blurb in two seconds.
You know, I was told this is years ago.
It's like when you send someone a book in a Word document, I find that very hard to read all the way through.
I understand.
I have a promotion story.
And I took it to heart.
And I'm always irked.
I've done a couple books and I've asked people for blurbs.
They say, well, I've got to read it first.
They go on and on and on.
It's like, give me a break.
Okay.
I don't know if I've got total agreement with you.
I can't write a blurb.
I actually considered just writing his blurb without having read it, but I didn't feel good about it.
Well, so John Brockman, my agent in New York that was, when I was doing a lot of tech books, he, who's well connected, he was friends with Alan Watts, the, Writer, Buddhist.
Oh yeah, this is all the guys that Whitney Webb talks about.
And so he says that Alan Watts told him that he says he never met a blurb he didn't write.
He says if you ask Alan Watts for a blurb, he'd give you a blurb in five minutes because the way he saw it, it was all publicity.
Just write the blurb, people see your name, your name, your name, your name, Alan Watts.
And that's a policy that I adopted.
If someone asked me for a blurb for their book, I don't care how crappy the book is, I'll give them a blurb.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it doesn't take long.
There's all kinds of ways you can put things with, you know.
So if I gave you a book right now, and the book was about, I'm going to give you a title and then you write the blurb.
You ready?
Because you're going to, I'm going to ask you first, will you write a blurb about my book regardless of what it is?
Yeah.
Here's my book.
Jesus was a badass outlaw.
Give me your blurb.
Go.
A fascinating read by Adam Curry.
That's it?
That's the blurb?
That would be a blurb.
I could write a longer blurb or a shorter blurb.
I need more blurb.
I would say this is a book everyone should pick up and read.
It's unbelievable how he's come to these conclusions.
This is something I highly recommend.
Now I've just got to write the book.
Yeah, why don't you do that?
Continuing.
No Agenda Nation, please search God's Eye View on Amazon and look for the book with the big black hole on the cover.
For those who can't afford the book or are too cheap to buy it, please search God's Eye View in a modern podcast app to find my show.
Four more years, says Sir Writer of Words.
Thank you, Sir Writer of Words.
We appreciate that.
And good luck with the book.
When it comes out in paperback, I will write a blurb.
I know how to do it now.
Linda Lupatkin, Lakewood, Colorado.
$200 jobs karma she's asking for.
And she says for a competitive edge with a resume that gets results.
Go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive and resume and job search needs.
That's ImageMakersInc with a K. Dot com.
And work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer of Resume.
She's gone back to the classic.
Because she knows that we know that we know that she knows that we know what we're talking about.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Awesome.
Yes, Eli the Coffee Guy didn't show up today, so I hope he's okay.
He probably didn't get the mail.
A lot of people didn't get the newsletter.
Did it happen again, the newsletter?
You know, and I couldn't send out a secondary letter again, because every time you do that, you lose like 50 people.
Oh, really?
Oh, that sucks.
At least.
And so I can't keep sending out two and two and two, so I'm not sure.
I'm just going to have to let it settle down.
Oh, that kind of sucks.
Kind of.
Yeah, that sucks.
All right.
That is our last donor for show 1771.
Well, for the executive and associate executive producers, we appreciate you.
And, of course, we'll be thanking the rest of our producers who came in $50 and above.
And, as always, you can go to noagendadonations.com and donate any amount you want.
We love the numerology.
Thank you, Sir Dirty Jersey Whore.
Marinette or Dirty Jersey Whore.
And that means you can also set up a sustaining donation.
It could be just a couple of bucks per show, per week, per day, whatever you want to do.
Go to noagenthodonation.com.
Again, thank you to our executive and associate executive producers.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
What's that in your mouth?
Shut up, Steve.
Shut up, Steve.
Some copyright stuff going on they're making a fuss about.
Let me guess, is that with AI copyright stuff?
Yeah.
Oh, good.
So I have two clips that are at least somewhat enlightening.
I don't think it gets us anywhere, but at least it shows that somebody's covering it.
It's, I think, NPR.
NPR it is.
The United States Copyright Office is normally kind of quiet.
Low drama.
Authors and artists go there to register their works and Congress goes there when it needs advice on copyright issues.
But lately, between the firings and the lawsuits and a highly anticipated report on AI, the office is not so quiet.
Here's NPR's Andrew Limbaugh.
Let's start the story on a Thursday, May 8th.
President Trump abruptly fired Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress.
The next day, May 9th, the U.S. Copyright Office, which resides within the Library of Congress, published a highly anticipated report on whether or not using copyrighted works to train generative AI counted as fair use.
Funny thing is, this report was, and still is, labeled as a pre-publication version.
That part is extremely weird.
In fact, I don't think they've ever done that before.
That's Dave Hansen, the executive director of the Authors Alliance, an organization that argues for less strict copyright laws, which is to say they interact regularly with the office.
Anyway, that report dropped on a Friday, and then by Saturday, Shira Perlmutter, the head of the U.S. Copyright Office, had a letter telling her that she was dismissed.
That letter was sent by Trent Morse, deputy assistant to the president.
It seems like there must be some sort of connection between the timing of the release and all of that other drama but we just don't really know exactly why.
And we still don't, quite yet.
Perlmutter has since filed a lawsuit against President Trump, as well as the two people he appointed currently acting as the new Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights, Todd Blanche and Paul Perkins.
The argument being, since both the Library of Congress and the U.S. Copyright Office are under the legislative branch, the president has no authority to hire or fire people.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Huh.
He's just firing anybody he feels like.
Give him something to do.
This is part two.
But people broadly in the copyright world have been kind of stunned at how much their quiet neck of the woods has been shaken up.
Cristelia Garcia is a professor at Georgetown Law focusing on intellectual property.
Obviously, politically, things are all drama, drama, drama all the time now.
But to have it come to the copyright office was quite a surprise for the copyright community who are sort of, you know, not used to being thrust into the spotlight.
Generally speaking, even with the sort of AI stuff.
So what about that big bombshell report the Copyright Office published on Generative AI, the one the Office put out before it was finalized?
Well, what it said was, in some instances, using copyrighted materials to train generative AI could qualify as fair use, and in some cases, it wouldn't.
It is very even-keeled.
That's Keith Coopersmith, the CEO of the Copyright Alliance, a group that represents artists and publishers for stronger copyright laws.
And he says the report avoids generalizations and takes arguments on a case-by-case basis.
Which is reflective of how Perlmutter ran the office.
Perlmutter was beloved no matter whether she agreed with you or not because she always did the hard work.
She always was very thoughtful and considers all these different viewpoints.
There are dozens of lawsuits going on right now over copyright and AI usage.
While it remains to be seen if and how the legal teams on either side will use this report, this is just the beginning, says Georgetown professor Cristelia Garcia.
This is just a foreshadowing of the front lines of the generative AI battle.
I think copyright is really taking the sort of canary in the coal mine here.
The warning being, if you haven't been paying attention to generative AI, now is a good time to start.
Your analysis, Dr. Dvorak.
Well, they told us nothing.
Pretty much.
In three minutes, two clips, nothing.
And I don't know.
My analysis is like everybody else's is like, I don't know what's going to happen.
I think there's fair use issues here, but there's a lot of, you know, I mean, there's a lot of public domain material that the generative AI can suck up.
And then once in a while you get, I asked perplexity the other day something about...
You are on a bad track.
And it was wrong with its answer, because I knew the answer.
I was just looking for the details.
Oh, no.
It was wrong.
Oh, no.
And I find that it's wrong a lot.
And I'm not sure why it's wrong because if you read...
This is a real problem, I think, especially people who go to...
I've seen this happen on real time, where the person will go to chat GPT or some AI to get a quick answer to a question.
And I find that with the wrongness of a lot of these answers, This is a real problem in my mind.
Well, that's because there's no intelligence involved.
They can't understand the context of what you're asking.
Well, I know there's no intelligence involved, but the point is it's supposed to be a neural network in front of the corpus that analyzes.
The whole key to success is analyzing the question you ask it or analyzing the prompt you give it.
And then reacting accordingly to the prompt using a neural network that's supposed to mimic intelligence.
And it doesn't work well.
No, it doesn't work well at all.
Well, no, it works better than you like to imagine, but it doesn't work as well as I'd like.
No, it doesn't work well.
Maxine Waters is now in Los Angeles.
There you go.
She's at the protests.
No!
What a showboater.
They got professional signs, John.
Professional signs.
Already?
Well, they've been there the whole time.
So the quad box, everyone is live, including the BBC.
And I think they're just waiting for someone to kick it off.
They're just waiting.
They're just standing two lines.
And wait for somebody to take a shot.
Yeah.
Or throw a Molotov cocktail at the end.
I'm live, everybody.
Right now I'm live.
We are brave.
We're brave.
We're standing up against the terror.
The terror.
The man.
The man.
Screw the man.
Like, nokings.org.
Make sure you go there on the 14th.
We're streaming live.
We're doing a live here on the Insta and on the TikToks.
We're live everywhere, everybody.
Yeah, yeah.
We're not taking it anymore.
Taking it from Trump.
Tears will come from this.
Someone is going to do something and then they're going to get beaten upside the head.
I can tell you right now, everyone's waiting for it.
Everyone's glued in.
They're just waiting for some douchebag, some instigator to do something and then it's going to be messy.
Ugh.
So, okay, on the AI copyright, this is a story from the UKs, which could be concerning, I guess, if you don't read your contracts from 10 years ago.
You can do it when you B&Q it.
Her face may not be recognisable, but Gayanne is the voice behind adverts for some of Britain's biggest brands.
Now, she's the unbeknown AI star announcer on board Scotland's trains.
I feel violated.
I feel completely violated.
My voice is my job.
And I should be allowed to know who I'm working with and what I'm working on.
But more than that, as a human being, I should know who owns my voice data.
That you're going to be the voice of Scotland's railways?
No, I had no idea.
I literally didn't know.
This can all be traced back to a job Gayanne carried out during Covid with the Swedish firm Reid Speaker, recording scripts for the visually impaired.
It was before artificial intelligence was really a thing.
Fast forward a few years, her voice has been sold.
And transformed into a robot.
Unions representing the creative industry claim this is exploitation and points to wider AI concerns.
I feel burgled.
I feel like my data has been burgled.
I don't know who holds it.
I don't know what they're doing with it.
I've no control over it and I don't consent to it.
Do you know, I'm the voice of Apple for Singapore.
Reid Speaker claims there is an agreement in place and all issues have been addressed.
Scott Rail has no plans to stop using the voice.
A story of consent, contracts and concerns in an increasingly AI-focused world.
Well, that's no good.
Can you imagine that?
I mean, being a voiceover artist is tough in general now.
Yeah, you don't make a lot of money.
No.
No, so they bought her voice.
It was sampled by some company.
Well, if she signed it over.
This is like people who sign their rights over when they do writing, and they sign all their rights over to some publisher.
And then it turns into a Clooney movie.
Good.
Yeah, and you feel really bad about it.
Here's something I've been wondering for many, many years.
If you are running for the governor, Of New York.
Why do they call it a gubernatorial race?
When does the B come in to governor?
That's a very good question.
Does it borderline on a great question?
No, there's no such thing.
Can't you say a governor's race or gubernatorial?
Why is it gubernatorial?
It always makes it like goober.
Like they're a bunch of goobers.
Yeah, there it is.
You just answered your question.
The governor is a goober?
Well, there's a lot of goobers, and this is, you know, so they're debating right now, and of course Cuomo is trying to come back.
Yeah, but he's coming back as a mayor.
I thought it was for the governor.
No, no.
Cuomo wants to be mayor of New York.
Ah, well, my question is still valid.
No, the question about gubernatorial is, yes.
Well, this is about the mayor, then.
I'm sorry.
For some reason, I mistook it for the gubernatorial race.
So this is, they're doing the debates, and Cuomo's in the debate.
And this, by the way, goes against everything that I just said earlier about people leaving the show, because, you know, we pander to the Jews for the Jew money.
Yes, where's our Jew money?
We may have gotten some spook money today, but we didn't get any Jew money that I can tell.
That's no good.
Here is an interesting question posed to the candidates for mayor of New York City.
The first foreign visit by a mayor of New York is always considered significant.
Where would you go first?
Left to right, Ms. Adams.
First visit.
I would visit the Holy Land.
Okay.
Mr. Lander, sorry.
Boy, what Trump is doing to Canada, there's a lot of opportunities for us to partner better with them.
Ms. Ramos.
I'd love to meet Claudia Scheinbaum, but I'd probably head to Colombia to my parents' homeland.
That was a good answer, because you throw in a little bit of Jew there with Scheinbaum, but you're going to go to Colombia.
That was good.
Mr. Meyer?
I am a proud son of two Caribbean immigrants.
I represent a robust Caribbean constituency.
I'd like to go to the Caribbean as my first visit.
You're off.
You're not going to win, Mr. Cuomo.
Given the hostility and the anti-Semitism that has been shown in New York, I would go to Israel.
Very good.
Mr. Tilson, where would you go?
I'd make my fourth trip to Israel, followed by my fifth trip to Ukraine.
He's doubling down.
He's going to go for his fifth trip and then to Ukraine.
Mr. Tilson, where would you go?
I'd make my fourth trip to Israel followed by my fifth trip to Ukraine, two of our greatest allies fighting on the front lines of the global war on terror.
Mr. Mamdani.
I would stay in New York City.
My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five boroughs and focus on that.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Mr. Mamdani, can I just jump in?
Oh, I want to jump in.
Would you visit Israel?
Did I say Jew?
No, she said Jew.
She said would you.
No, she said would you.
Across the five boroughs and focus on that.
Mr. Mamdani, can I just jump in?
Would you visit Israel?
As mayor?
I will be doing, as the mayor, I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform, because ultimately we need to focus on delivering on their concerns.
And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel?
I believe Israel has the right to exist.
As a Jewish state?
As a state with equal rights.
He won't say it has a right to exist as a Jewish state.
And his answer was no, he won't visit Israel.
That's what he was trying to say.
No, no, no.
Unlike you, I answered questions very directly.
And I want to be very clear.
I believe every state should be a state of equal rights.
He wouldn't say it.
He wouldn't say it.
He's no good.
Oh, man.
Wow, what a bunch of rubes.
New York is done.
You just won the Super Bowl.
Where are you going?
Israel.
Israel.
Miss America.
You just became the new Miss America.
Where are you going?
Tel Aviv.
It's hilarious.
Well, they could have gone to visit a Bulgarian old folks home because all hell's breaking loose there.
Oh, what's going on?
Listen to this Bulgarian old folks horror.
Bulgarian officials say they've rescued 75 residents from two illegal care homes where they were allegedly subjected to brutal mistreatment.
They said the victims were beaten, bound and sedated, with doors and windows locked.
Justice Minister Georgi Georgiev described the facilities in the eastern village of Jagoda as houses of horrors.
Bulgaria has a shortage of good care homes for older people.
Oh, my.
Do they have pictures and video?
Beaten.
They take the old folks and they beat them.
Wow.
Bulgaria, what are you doing?
Is there a color revolution going on in Bulgaria?
Is there an election coming up?
No, nothing.
Turns out that that's what they do to old people in Bulgaria.
They beat them.
It's coming to California soon, I hear.
Yeah, it could be.
Five-minute warning.
You get one or two more clips.
It's all up to you.
Go.
Well, okay, I have this.
Every once in a while, there's one of these stories that comes up, and it's always the same kind of a thing going on.
It's a very suspicious story, and these all seem like spooky stories, because it's like you've got somebody, and you've got to debrief them, or you've got to get them out of the country, or you've got to rescue them, or something like a CIA guy, and it always goes through, and I have no idea why, The detainment centers in Louisiana.
Have you noticed this Louisiana thing keeps cropping up?
No.
This is the Russian frog smuggler.
A judge in Vermont today ordered the release of a Russian-born scientist and Harvard researcher saying she was being unlawfully held by immigration authorities.
Ksenia Petrova, who recently spoke to NewsHour from detention, still faces a criminal charge of smuggling frog embryos after she failed to declare them at Boston's Logan Airport in February.
Petrova says she uses them for research.
An immigration officer stripped Petrova of her visa and she was sent to an ICE facility in Louisiana.
At a hearing today, Judge Christina Reese said, quote, there does not seem to be either a factual or legal basis for the immigration officer's actions.
Petrova is expected to face a bail hearing next week on the smuggling charge.
Okay, well that is interesting.
I happen to know a couple of people here in Fredericksburg who moved recently from Louisiana.
And they grew up there, so they may have some inside information for me.
I mean, there's ICE detention centers all over the place, but these super suspicious-sounding stories like this one, Russian woman, a professor teaching, brings in some embryos.
I don't know how they found those, but they did, which seems like a setup.
Then they move her to this facility in Louisiana.
It's always Louisiana.
They do ask at customs, you know, do you have any plants, animals, or fruit?
And if you lie, then you get detained.
Yeah.
But who's going to, how are you going to, you could, it doesn't make sense.
This whole story just makes no sense.
I don't see how anybody can't easily take some frog embryos and stuff them in a Coke can and take it through customs.
I mean, or guys, you can't get through because it's got liquid, but I mean, there's ways.
If you're smuggling frog embryos, it seems to me you know what you're doing.
Hey, hey!
Ho, ho!
This is bullcrap.
Frog embryos have got to go!
Hey, hey!
Ho, ho!
I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
In the morning.
Rest assured, I am on the case of the Louisiana spookiness.
I will get answers.
Several people I know here have grown up there, in the bayou, in the swamps.
We have swamp people here.
They will know what's going on.
And we have some just horrible, non-musical pieces of crap coming up known as the end of show mixes.
You don't, I mean, why are you even still listening?
You don't want to be exposed to that.
It may hurt you.
But before that, we have the most wonderful tip of the day.
By John C. Dvorak.
Now, the tip of the day is its own entity.
This should be a spin-off show.
Tip of the day show.
Tip of the day show.
I'm telling you.
Now, the problem is you'd have to do it every day.
Yeah, otherwise it wouldn't be a tip of the day.
But I guarantee you, podcast success.
I'm thinking a podcast award.
Maybe even a Webby.
Which reminds me, I was looking at somebody's Wiki page.
I can't remember who it was, but they won.
It was one of just the rando podcasters, and they won a podcasting award from some operation.
It was listed on the Wiki page for Best Audio Sound.
Oh, man.
That's what I said.
How many times do I have to say, I'm good to go on the Podfather Podcast Awards, and you just drop the ball on me?
Oh, I'm going to have to pick it up.
I'll pick up the ball.
Dame Rita, meanwhile, picked up the ball.
She's moved way up to the top of the list here.
She's in Sparks, Nevada.
And she came in with $135.
And she says, thanks for the tremendous value.
And spin down.
I like that.
We're spin downers.
Spin Downers.
Paul Rouge.
That could be perceived as negative.
Spin Downers.
Downers, man.
I think that might hurt the show.
That might hurt the show.
We can't use that.
No, what's going to hurt the show is those mixes.
Paul Rouge.
R-U-U-G-E.
I think that's how it's pronounced.
He's in Fort Thomas, Kentucky.
He came in with $100.
Kellen Prince.
That's a nice name.
In Hollywood, Florida, $100.
Baroness Knight, she's in Edmonds, Washington.
She's up to ante.
She's always a $50 donor and she's up there to $100.
So that's nice.
Kevin McLaughlin shows up at 8008.
He's the Archduke Luna lover of America, lover of boobs.
And he says, he's got a PSA here, says, summertime's the perfect time to show off your melons, ladies.
And no disagreement here.
The no agenda show agrees.
I will say that I track this stuff.
The number of people, our female listeners has been...
Is down.
I think we're turning to a couple of sexist jerk-offs as far as a lot of the ladies are concerned.
Well, I mean...
You're wrong, man.
You know what you're talking about!
Jan Brugink in Schmilda, Netherlands.
He came with 8008.
Very famous place.
That's where the Moluckers hijacked a train in the 70s and killed a bunch of people.
Oh, the Moluckers.
Yeah, the Moluckers.
Anyway, he wants some jobs, Karma, for his son, Juryan.
Is that right?
Juryan.
Urien, and that would be at the end, if you can remember.
Why am I Christian...
Pretty good.
Christian, sir.
Christian, and it's Leiden.
Very good.
8008.
And he has a little note there.
He's just got this in green.
He came in through...
Stripe.
He says, thanks for sending some rain over to Leiden.
Yeah, we did.
And he says, I sent boobs in return.
It's a good combination if you ask me.
He says, Adam, next time it starts hailing golf balls, put a drum kit outside.
Let me tell you, if you look at Tina's Insta, I think she's Tina Curry 33, you can hear what it sounds like.
And so we actually, it turns out we have a lot of damage we didn't know about.
The garage doors?
Filled with pits.
Little pits.
Dents.
Dents.
Oh, dense.
A little dense.
We have our screen...
Oh, it would go right through the skins.
We have a screened-in porch.
We don't go out there much when it's 95 degrees.
Completely all the screens pelted with holes.
Oh.
Yep.
We've got damage.
That stinks.
I got damage.
Well, you got insurance.
We are not going to claim this for insurance.
You know what will happen?
We'll get kicked out of our insurance.
Stephen Hutto in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Great little place.
$75.
Zachary Metzinger in South Lake, Texas.
$66.73.
Chad Hewitt in Folsom, California, 6640, and he says, yeah, go Blue Acorn.
Stephen Schumach in Xenia, Ohio, 6580.
David Cox in Austin, right down the street from you, 6325, or where you used to live.
Grayson Insurance, Grayson Insurance in Aurora, Colorado, 6006.
Eric Hulse in Katy, Texas.
Or Catee, Texas.
5798.
It's Katie.
It's Katie, Texas.
I'm loving Catee.
Manuel Medeiros in Tracy, California.
5798.
Quit your belly aching donation.
It worked!
So 5798 is a belly aching donation.
I guess so.
Hilton.
I didn't say Hilton.
Hilton.
In Salton.
He's in Salton, Georgia.
He wants 55.10 and he wants some karma jingle.
I don't know what that means.
But he will put some karma at the end.
Anonymous, 56. Or 55. Nancy Murphy in San Bruno, California.
55. And there she is again with another 55. And she says, here's another donation.
The new sad puppy made me do it.
I got two complaints about this new sad puppy.
Troy Funderburg, the complaints were dissent.
It's a sad puppy, sad looking, in a dryer.
Which you have to assume is pre-suicidal or something.
This goes to my theory that people don't care what you do to other people, but man, you do something to a dog, it's the end of you.
So the dog's in the dryer and somebody said, one of the producers says, that's in poor taste!
He's scolding me for it.
Nancy Murphy came in twice.
Okay, well, she's actually 110.
Trey Vunderburg in Missoula, Montana, 55. Troy, Troy, Troy Vunderburg.
Troy, I always do that.
Okay, here's another Dutchman.
Rolien van der Haar.
It's probably a...
In Hollandscheveldt.
52-72.
Brittany Miller, also 52-72.
We got women.
They're women right here.
Look at these women.
Nancy, Roline, Brittany.
Come on.
Christian Hartsock.
Burbank, California is one of our regulars.
51-94.
He'd substituted on OAN for Chanel over the weekend.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He's apparently a writer for OANN, you know?
Oh, One American News?
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Hey, Roger.
And I did a hit.
Oh, you did a hit on OAN?
Yeah.
Well, how come you didn't tell me?
I just did.
Yeah, but I mean, did it, No.
It's because you do so many podcasts and you never mention anything to me and then all of a sudden it shows up in a donation note and I go, what is this?
So I'm doing the same.
I'm on the move.
John's doing PR, everybody.
He did a hit on OAN, all 15 people.
Roger Kalachick in Norcross, Georgia, 5510.
He needs to de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Josiah Thomas in Ankeny, Iowa, 51. And now we've got the $50 donor's name and location, starting with not a lot today.
Jacob.
Rottrammel in Decatur, Illinois.
Stephen Ray in Spokane, Washington.
Ray Howard in Kremling, Colorado.
Edward Mazurik in Memphis.
Christopher Scott in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.
Renee Bernhard Goethe.
She's in Switzerland.
Bernhard Goethe.
Bernhard's Grütter, Grütter, Grütter.
She's in St. Gallen.
She greets St. Bernard's.
Well, St. Bernard's are in Switzerland.
Yes.
That's nice to have a Swiss donor.
That came in Stripe.
International producers know Stripe.
Stripe is the way to go for international donations.
Cal Ray Jackson in Watertown, Tennessee.
And last on our list is the good old Jason DeLuzio in Miami Beach, Florida.
I want to thank all these people for show 1771.
Yes, indeed.
Thank you all very much.
And again, thank you to those donors who came in and supporters and producers who came in under $50.
We never mentioned them for reasons of anonymity.
And, of course, you can set up a sustaining donation at any time, any kind of donation, any amount.
It's value for value.
Whatever you get out of the show, send it back to us in value, and that's just fine.
For some people, $5 is a lot.
For some people, $500 is a lot.
Or not.
It doesn't matter.
Just as long as you support us at some point, somehow, to give back to the show.
That's value for value.
Again, thanks to our executive and associate executive producers for episode, wow, what is it?
Episode 1771 of Palindrome.
And strangely enough, for the first time in as long as I can remember, we do not have a single birthday to celebrate.
When has that happened?
Has that ever happened?
Yeah, it has.
A couple times, actually.
I don't recall.
Well, so no birthdays.
So no happy birthdays to you.
However.
Title changes.
Turning face to slaves.
Title changes.
Don't want to be a douche.
We do have a couple of title changes.
We've got Sir Dirty Jersey Whore, as you heard earlier, our top executive producer today, who becomes a baronet.
Dame Nancy of The Confused, also changing her title today, becoming a baroness.
Oh yes, very, very beautiful.
And Sir Dirty Jersey Whore also gets his PhD.
We have that special promotion, which has come back for a limited time, limited time only.
Go to NoAgendaRings.com.
Dirty Jersey Whore.
Let us know where to send your PhD and if you really want Sir Dirty Jersey Whore on it or maybe your actual name so you can use it to impress your friends and the neighbors.
And we have one night.
So I'll grab my blade here if you can...
Oh, it's nice.
It's sharp.
As long as it's sharp, it's fine.
Trevor Lohman, it's taking you a bit, but we're happy to see you here at the podium for the Dames and Knights of the Noah General Roundtable because you have supported the best podcasts in the universe in an amount of $1,000 or more.
That means I get to pronunciate you, sir, as Sir Ryder of Words.
And for you, we've got Hookers and Blow, Red Boys and Chardonnay.
We've got some Diet Soda and Video Games, Fish Pie and Fellatio, Harlots and Haldol.
We've got Red Heads and Ryes, Beers and Blunts, Ruben S. Ruman and Rosé, Geishas and Sake, Vodka Manila, And you also can go to NoAgendaRings.com.
Anybody can go there and take a look at them.
And it's accumulative, so you can donate $5 a month if you want.
People become knights and dames.
It's really cool.
And this ring is a signet ring.
It looks very, very cool at the No Agenda meetups.
And so for that reason, we give you a couple of sticks of wax you can melt down and stick your signet ring right on there and let everybody know that this is a very important correspondence.
And as always, it comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by yours truly, Adam and John.
Yeah, everybody, the Noah Tuna Meetup is another great way to send value back to the show and to Gitmo Nation in general.
By organizing a No Agenda Meetup.
You can go to noagendameetups.com.
Another fantastic website we never built.
Done in the Value for Value model.
Thank you, Sir Daniel, for that.
We got a report from Brussels, the big Brussels meetup.
It seems like Sarcastic the Nomad was there by himself.
He did get one RSVP from Alex who lives in Brussels.
Unfortunately, his two girlfriends from Colombia arrived early.
In Brussels, and he decided to stay home with them.
And he sent me a picture, and I think he made the right choice.
A picture of Alex with his two Colombian girlfriends.
Doesn't sound suspicious at all.
He could have brought the girlfriends to the meetup.
I think so, too.
But he didn't.
Big Tom's Bar was a great venue.
Unbeknownst to me, it is a NATO hangout bar.
Lots of spooky people drinking Belgian beer.
I'm always amazed what a drunk soldier will tell you.
Do tell Sarcastic the Nomad.
We'd love to hear more.
And Sir Dirty Jersey Whore, as you recall on the last show, for his meetup promo at the East Texas Noah Jenner meetup, we excoriated him for sending in a two-minute meetup promo.
You remember this?
You excoriated him.
No, you did too.
You said it should be 30 seconds tops.
I did say that.
But not in the form of an excoriation.
Well, he sent us a new one.
It is 33 seconds exactly, which I think is valid.
Well, that's okay.
We need to put up with that.
And listen to this.
Hey there, freedom lovers and media deconstructors.
Are you tired of screaming at the screen alone?
Wish you had someone to compare your shrunken amygdala with?
Well, do we have a meetup for you?
It's all going down Sunday, June 29th at 3.33 p.m.
in Longview, Texas.
Go over to noagendameetup.com and let us know you are coming or just show up.
Again, that's June 29th, 3.33 p.m., Longview, Texas.
Be there or be labeled a conspiracy denier.
Common side effects may include mild dizziness, nausea, spontaneous lactation, sudden urges to gamble or engage in risky sexual behavior, sleep driving, sleep eating, sleep shopping, uncontrollable laughter, explosive diarrhea, anal leakage, blue-gray skin discoloration, hallucinations, black hairy tongue, unexpected hair growth in unusual places, purple urine or sweat, permanent loss of taste or smell, false positive drug test, penile enlargement, and in rare cases, existential dread.
*laughs * That sounds like a Fremont drag strip commercial from back in the 60s and 70s.
That was outstanding.
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday is all that was missing.
33 nitro-burning funny cars.
That's right.
Well, on Sunday, this Sunday, the fourth annual Louisiana Crawfish Boil kicks off at 2 o 'clock at Shaw Acres.
That's Prairieville, Louisiana.
Hey!
Mary Moon organizing.
Let us know what you know about the ICE detention centers.
It's a little spooky down there.
By the way, it is an RSVP invite.
I think it's at her home, so you've got a check-in to be checked out.
By the way, to interrupt you in the midst of this, I have to say the Jersey Dirty Whore quickie was well done.
Well done.
Well done, indeed.
The Northern Wake Freedom Southern Slammo Whammo, 6 o 'clock on Thursday at Hoppy Endings in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Make sure you check that out.
Coming up next week, the 13th, Copenhagen, Denmark.
We have Lazarus Waard in Kulemborg.
I'm just doing the international ones.
Comox, British Columbia.
That's Scandinavia.
17th, Cannes in France.
We've never had good luck in Cannes.
No one ever shows up to those meetups, so please, please give it a shot.
And on the 19th of September, or way ahead now, Tilburg, North Brabant in the Netherlands.
So go to NoAgendaMeetups.com.
There's always a cool meetup taking place.
It's all around the world, as you can tell.
And when you do a meetup report, make it fun, make it interesting, try and make it short, and always include your server and tip them well.
NoAgendaMeetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
it's always a party.
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
You wanna be where you won't be triggered or held lame.
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
All right, now, to make up for the end of show mixes, we'll have a very snappy ISO for you at the end, which will just, because that truly is the last thing that people hear, so this kind of discredits your theory.
It makes people happy.
They're like, oh, this was great.
I really loved hearing that end of show ISO.
I feel good about the show.
Doesn't the end of show ISO come before the mix?
No, it comes at the very, very end of the show.
Have you ever listened to the podcast?
No, I never listened.
I have too.
Ooh, nice balls.
Okay, probably don't like that one.
But I kind of thought this one was okay.
This doesn't make any sense.
I'm freaking out inside.
You laughed through it.
This doesn't make any sense.
I'm freaking out inside.
I'm freaking out inside.
Oh, God.
I liked it.
If you took that part off, it would be good.
This doesn't make any sense.
Like that?
Yeah, I think that beats mine.
Well, let's listen to yours.
Thanks for spending your weekend with us.
Wow, that's AI if I ever heard one.
Nope.
Really?
Thanks for spending your weekend with us.
Is that black?
Chick, whatever her name is, that does the weekend shows with Scott and other people.
No, that's a real person.
Oh, you like mine better?
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, I like it.
Well, we'll keep that one, and we will get the weekend kicking now with John's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with JCB.
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Burnetti.
Alright, this is the time of the year to plant.
Is it now?
Not in Texas.
Well, actually, this would be fine in Texas, too.
This is a site.
It's called the Chili Pepper Institute, and it is run out of New Mexico State University, and they sell over 100 varieties of hot chilies, the seeds.
I think they're pricey.
A little pricier than I'd like, but there's five bucks a pack.
But there's some of the more, lots of scorpion peppers, all kinds of screwball peppers you've never had.
You don't see, they're not commercial, and they're there, and they claim that the seeds are all very viable, so you plant these seeds, they're going to grow.
And I would recommend planting some chilies.
And they have all of them.
I'm sorry, they don't have all of them, because there's thousands, but they have over 100 varieties.
Including a bunch of scorpion peppers.
They don't have the Carolina Reaper, for example, I don't think.
That must be real tough, the Carolina Reaper.
Well, that's a tough one.
But I finally found a website that you can write down.
CPI, for Chili Pepper Institute, dot NMSU, New Mexico State University, dot EDU.
And just click on the store.
Online store and knock yourself out.
What is the appropriate or best way to plant your chilies?
They have all kinds of information on the site.
They grow like a tomato.
If you know how to grow a tomato plant, you can get those little seedling pots and put them in the window and get the thing started.
Once it gets started, you've got it made.
You grow it indoors, not outdoors.
You could.
No, I would start it indoors and I would take it outdoors.
Or you could just plant it outdoors if you can keep it so it germinates.
You've got to make sure it germinates.
Make sure you germinate your peppers, everybody.
There it is.
Once again, a fantastic John C. Dvorak's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with J.C. And if anybody grows anything weird, because there's lots of weird peppers in here, send me a couple.
Send John a couple of weird peppers.
Once you pick a peck of pickled peppers, send them to Dvorak.
And that concludes our broadcast day, everybody.
Remember, just plug your eardrums because, man...
Oh, no!
Uh-oh!
John C. Dvorak says does better.
Do better.
Does better.
Just do better.
I like him.
But I like all kinds of crap.
Coming up next on your No Agenda stream, we have the Mere Mortals book reviews.
Oh, this is Adapt or Die, the youth spy who sparked a passion for discipline.
Hmm.
Stormbreaker book review.
Oh, that's Kyron from Down Under doing that.
I look forward to that.
And we will gladly be back with you on Thursday.
And we'll bring you more multiple hours of media deconstruction.
Still waiting for it to kick off in Los Angeles or to pop off, and I'm here in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the National Guard is not here, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Remember us at knowageinthedonations.com until Thursday.
