	I don't need the aggravation of ear mold.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's early August 21, 2025.
	This is George Ward winning Get My Nation Media Assassination episode 1792.
	This is No Agenda.
	We have a trial.
	And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we applaud President Trump going on patrol.
	Right.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	This is Craig Lawrence Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	And what did I miss?
	He went on patrol?
	No, he's going on patrol tonight.
	Oh, is he doing a ride-along?
	Yeah, in D.C. That's great.
	This came out this morning.
	What's great is that people in other cities are going, hey, hey, hey, President Trump, come do that in our city.
	It's going to catch on.
	You watch.
	It's going to catch on.
	They love it.
	It can only catch on so far because he actually has the authority to do it in D.C. he doesn't have the authority to do it in San Francisco today.
	to this extreme.
	No, but he has, it's just about the crime bill.
	It's going to be the Trump.
	I'll not see him.
	The Trump crime bill, Batman.
	That's what it's going to be.
	And you only got to hope that it turns out right because other crime bills in the past like that of 1992, it's not such a good deal.
	Although now the Democrats are kind of bragging about those old crime bills by Clinton and Biden.
	Yeah.
	They said, well, you trips not doing anything new.
	The crime was really reduced because of Clinton.
	What?
	The 92 crime bill, of course, incarcerated over a million black men for smoking weed.
	For weed.
	So the minute you see a kid on the front of Time magazine or Time website, where you're holding an Uzi, smoking a spliff, then you know that then you know they're serious about the crime bill.
	Because that's what it was, Lil, what was the kid's name?
	From the 90s, oh man, Mo, Mo, Mo, where are you when I need you?
	Lil, Lil, Lil Abby.
	No, it was not Lil Abner.
	Lil Billy.
	No, it was Lil Duncan.
	No, someone in the troll room should know by now.
	I don't even know.
	Yeah, it was Lil Yummy, thank you.
	Lil Yummy, it was a, it was like a 39-year-old gang member, Lil Yankee, Lil Yummy was on the on the cover of Time magazine and that was the whole impetus.
	No, that was when Hillary Clinton was out there saying, you know, these, she said degenerates?
	No, it was something like that term.
	Hey, how good are we to forgetful boomers?
	So that was the, that was the, it was the Biden crime bill.
	I'm sorry, 90, not 92, 94, 94 Biden crime bill.
	What was Clinton's phrase she used it was exploit the term was synonym for exploitative it was um clinton i'd have to well there's only one way to go yeah you got your buddy there why not ask her okay the 1994 uh biden crime bill what did hillary clinton call the perpetrators like lil yummy Oh, she called them super predators.
	Super predators.
	Thank you.
	We don't need to remember anything.
	We've got error.
	We've got error here.
	Super predators.
	Her name's Error.
	Does she make mistakes?
	Uh, you think?
	Error.
	Error, error.
	Yeah.
	Everyone's publishing articles now.
	It seems to be the new, new thing to publish articles about the AI hype being over.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that means it's not over.
	I I'm in agreement with you when when they say it's over, because you know, it's Altman.
	Altman is coming out and he's saying, oh, you know, the LA Times headline, Say farewell to the AI bubble.
	Get ready for the crash.
	Well, he never said say farewell to the bubble.
	He just said there is a bubble.
	Well, I'm no, this is the headline from the Los Angeles Times.
	I didn't, that's not close.
	So they're making it up.
	It's not in quotation marks.
	He's just saying it.
	He's just saying now.
	Well, he's not saying that.
	He's saying it's a bubble.
	He's not saying the bubble's over or about to burst.
	Correct.
	Correct.
	They're the ones saying that.
	The thing though, and if I was a newspaper, I'd say stuff like that too.
	I'm a little conflicted because I got a report from CBS which plays right into, I would hope, the Gen Zs that you and I have raised in these past eighteen years.
	Because we have raised a nation, John.
	We have raised a generation of smart thinking kids.
	This is where you say yes indeed, Adam.
	They're fabulous.
	And I hope that they have heeded our advice throughout the years through our complaints about lack of shop and home ech and other trades and apprenticeships.
	And maybe a few, maybe a few have thought about it because those who have listened to the boomer show are about to get rich.
	Brandon Fry feels squeezed by two businesses trending in opposite directions.
	Data centers such as this one he manages outside Chicago hum along with soaring demand.
	Everything here needs servicing.
	Everything here needs service.
	Technical support, technical support, H vac support, electricians.
	But the supply of technical support he needs available 24/7 keeps shrinking.
	What your customers don't want to hear is we can't find someone for them.
	That's the last thing they want to hear and that will be the last conversation we probably have with them as a customer.
	Data centers now compete with factories and manufacturing plants for electricians and plumbers.
	As older blue collar workers retire, younger people look at college and white collar jobs.
	It's a growing labor crisis.
	Roughly 400,000 skilled trade jobs are unfilled in America.
	By 2033, it's estimated that number could hit close to 2 million.
	Now, listen to the numbers.
	What kind of money you can make as a plumber with your butt crack.
	It's awesome.
	You got to be able to do more with less.
	Matt Roslin, an executive for a software company called IFS.
	I'm sorry.
	First, you got to get some tech guy and shove it in here for no reason in the story.
	Says new technology is one solution.
	And you can see this is changing dynamically.
	His company sells this program that helps companies route and re route their fleet of technicians.
	You can take things like weather, weather, traffic, different priorities and add that up.
	When you think about the labour shortages that are out there and you want to create more efficiencies and do more with less, this is how that's going to happen.
	Back at the data center, Dan Brown knows there's a labour crisis.
	We're always looking for good people to hire, but doesn't understand it.
	He told us in Chicago, experienced H vac technicians make more than $150,000 without student debt.
	The trace kind of got neglected, so now there's a boy that needs to be repaid.
	a void that needs to be filled.
	And you are busier than ever.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Across the floor, electrician Kevin Fishback sees hope.
	His local unions aggressively recruiting young workers for its apprenticeship program.
	They're coming in to trades and they've got insurance, they've got health care, they've got a pension.
	That's an update with power for Brandon Fry.
	That this career path is out there and it is a valuable career path to take.
	But for now, the data is in and it's unmistakable.
	Help wanted.
	For I in America, I'm Mark Strassman in Chicago.
	And of course, we want to thank President Obama for telling everybody to learn how to code.
	Good job.
	Good job.
	Which was the worst advice ever, it looks like.
	Good job, President Obama.
	No.
	And I think you can still just jump in on an apprenticeship.
	I'm sure that there's plumbers and HVAC companies out there that would love to have.
	There's not as many as there should be.
	That's the real problem.
	The idea of apprenticeships has gone out of favor.
	The apprenticeship has sailed?
	No, it's gone out of favor.
	Well, you know, when they see the demand for people, I'm pretty sure that they got.
	Oh, no, it has to come back.
	It's always been there.
	It's how it works.
	You really can't graduate from high school as a plumber.
	You can't graduate from college as a plumber.
	No.
	You have to be shown how to be one by someone who knows how to do it right and professionally.
	I'll tell you, if this gig comes to an end, I'm going into plumbing.
	Good to go.
	Plumbing 2.0.
	Well, yes.
	Meanwhile, we know that the bubble has to be kept afloat and inflating at all costs.
	Reasonable is going to get bigger than a lot of people like to imagine.
	Well, it has to because according to Bloomberg surveillance, we need it.
	How do you think about GDP?
	Well, you know, everybody has, I guess, redefined what reasonable is or what J. Powell describes as solid when we're barely running the economy so far this year, barely over a 1% annual rate.
	I mean, when I started in the business in the mid-80s, you got down to a one handle on real GDP growth and people were talking about reasonable.
	People were talking about stall speed and then asking when's the recession going to start.
	The economy, I think, is sputtering.
	It's uneven.
	You know, without the proliferation of AI data centers and all the technology spending related to general AI, the economy would actually be in recession right now.
	Yeah, I believe it.
	I believe it.
	We need all these data centers and everything.
	Of course, it's unfortunate that people are paying for it and paying for your stupid chat GPT by your electric bill and utilities doubling.
	I wonder when that riot is going to start.
	It has to.
	It has to.
	People aren't going to take it anymore.
	Yeah, well, it's easy for for me to say because it's true.
	When people, when they're like, I think it was like in Indiana alone, 80,000 people got switched off because they couldn't pay their bill, which had doubled.
	Yeah, at a certain point, people get pretty antsy about that stuff.
	Yeah, well, who are they going to take it out on?
	Their city council, their mayor, their city manager.
	Mayor doesn't, the mayor and city council don't.
	City manager.
	Except in some cities.
	But generally speaking, they don't determine the rates of the, it's PGE, for example, in California, which is who's the head of PGE working some woman.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, hey, Luigi, Luigi.
	Luigi.
	Luigi.
	This is where we're at in our culture right now.
	They've suppressed that.
	Wow, you are just so positive about everything going great, aren't you?
	People are telling you these things are harder to do than you think.
	In California.
	And people like, what do people do with their high gas and electric bill?
	They stop using their power.
	And then they just say, okay, well, let's freeze to death.
	Buy more sweaters.
	All right.
	Buy more sweaters.
	Put it in the red book.
	Riot's coming.
	Riot's coming, I'm telling you.
	We're Americans, ultimately.
	And then what, after the riots, what are they going to do about it?
	PG ⁇ E can document that fact that because of their old power lines in the woods and the fact that they caught a bunch of places on fire, burnt numerous millions of acres to the ground.
	And is it their fault that the line sparked because of a tree?
	Or is it the fault of the California people that don't do They stopped doing it.
	Or is it the fault of people like Gavin Newsom who drained this, didn't drain the swamp., he drained the reservoirs.
	He actually tore down two or three dams.
	Whose fault is that?
	Is that PG ⁇ E's fault?
	Is that the reason that the race have gone up?
	No, it's Gavin Newsom's fault.
	And who's riding against him?
	The Democrats are supporting him.
	Well, you're talking about California the whole time.
	California is not America.
	That's a whole different California.
	That's the problem.
	California is America.
	You know, if California was Texas, we'd be better off.
	Although we're trying to be Texas, oh, let's do whatever Texas is doing.
	Let's copy that.
	Oh, Texas is going to go to gerrymander like we always have done.
	So let's do our gerrymandering worse.
	Let's make us look like Massachusetts where we have no Republicans in any office whatsoever, you know, by cheating.
	Well, let's pointing the finger at Texas.
	This is bull crap.
	Well, let me give that's what I gotta say.
	Let me, all right.
	Well, we'll get off the topic of California.
	Allow me to play a few clips here from what is happening in the United Kingdom, which has not come to violence yet, but it's brewing.
	I've been around long enough.
	I remember those thin British coming down from the north to London with their pitchforks and their torches.
	It was not a pretty sight.
	And it's beginning now with Operation Raise the Colors.
	Have you heard of this?
	Okay, you got me on this one.
	Here we go.
	This is Marshall, Winston Marshall.
	He's a YouTuber, but he's a professional YouTuber.
	Over the weekend, a quiet revolution swept Britain.
	And if you only watched the mainstream media, you might never have known.
	It is the Raising the Colors movement.
	Up and down the country, flags are being hoisted and our streets are being adorned with the Cross of St. George, the Union flag.
	Even roundabouts are being painted.
	The good people of the United Kingdom in their calm, collected way, standing up.
	And of course, those of the establishment and the regressive left who are not completely ignoring this movement are doing what they can to undermine it.
	You get something called Operation Raise the Colors.
	That sounds very military, it sounds very aggressive.
	People are not pointing on this flag to celebrate Britain, they're pointing on this flag to remind us that Britain is white and we shouldn't be here.
	When the BBC reported on the roundabout, they ran the headline, Roundabouts vandalised to look like Saint George's flags.
	Contrast that with Rainbow Zebra Crossings appear in resort.
	This morning, footage of Birmingham Council frantically trying to paint over the Saint George's roundabout emerged.
	At least two councils are working fast to take down the flags because they are deemed quote unquote dangerous and to be putting the lives of motorists and pedestrians at risk.
	So the government and the mainstream, everyone's trying to cover it up.
	Shh, don't show those flags, take those flags.
	By the way, you try that in America, if the city started to take down American flags.
	Hmm.
	That would be Yes, that wouldn't go over.
	That wouldn't go over.
	So listen to where this is happening and of course how it started is kind of well known.
	There's a lot more going on here than meets the eye.
	The British are a people with a tradition of being subtle with their patriotism.
	That seems to be changing for good reason, which I'll explain.
	But let's have a look at how this movement came about.
	This does not come out of nowhere.
	Through July and August, anti immigration protests have taken place outside of government funded migrant hotels up and down the nation.
	London, Warwickshire, Solihull, Aldringham, Bournemouth, Aldershot, Ashfield, Southampton, Portsmouth, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Norwich.
	Criminal incidents by those claiming asylum in local migrant hotels inspired the local communities to take the streets.
	Perhaps most famous of all was at the Bell Hotel in Epping, where protests were sparked by the arrest and charging of an asylum seeker Hadush Kebabatu, a 41 year old from Ethiopia who was accused of sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl.
	The alleged incident occurred shortly after Kebabatu arrived in the UK via a small boat and he was residing at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, which was being used to house asylum seekers.
	The protests began following his court appearance in July.
	This, of course, comes after years of pent up anguish and frustration felt by British people because of sexual abuse by legal and illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and communities of immigrant heritage.
	Most notably, of course, the rape gang scandal, the 2023 Nosley riots, which began because the police failed to dealal with advances on a loca girl by a man from a migrant hotel were a violent early example of such protests.
	So this is just the UK starting this, this is, you know, this is starting to bubble under in every single European Union member state.
	And okay, so that's just flags.
	But when the grandmothers come out, this is when you have to be careful.
	The Pink Ladies are in effect.
	As with the grooming gang scandal, it wasn't just the illegal behavior and sexual misconduct of the immigrants which inspired the protests, but also the authorities' mishandling of affairs.
	Now, amongst all of these latest protests were the Pink Ladies.
	ladies british mums uniting to defend their daughters and children and this really might be the turning point for britain when the mums get involved serious one of the organizers loreane cavanagh explains we are uh mothers grandmothers aunts sisters who wanted to protect our family um We don't hate these men.
	We don't hate these men at all.
	What we hate is what the government has done.
	You know, we witness pensioners.
	going up to the local supermarket, getting a basket and looking for the red stickers for reduced labels to get a bit of meat.
	And then we witness these guys, 20s, 30s, getting three meals a day in an unlimited time four-stow hotel in Egyptian sheets, you know, mobile phones.
	And now I'm understood they get a £500 voucher to get clothing.
	And it's unfair.
	And that's why we were standing up, because it's unfair.
	Not because of the men.
	No doubt, half of them wouldn't go nowhere near our children.
	But not one of them women are going to play roulette with their child's life.
	You're going to watch out when the British grannies come out.
	What are you going to do?
	You're going to mow them down?
	Yeah, shoot them.
	Shoot them.
	Spray them with water.
	What always remains is that the similarity between besides even a drag queen story hour, which appears in the EU, appears in Great Britain, or the fact that you have immigrants that are given cell phones and cash vouchers or credit cards in the EU, in Great Britain, and here.
	What is the connection?
	There has to be some sort of international connection because you don't have these phenomenon in these discrepant areas, specifically in western areas, the United States, the UK, EU, the exact same phenomenon where migrants are invited in one way or another, given free cash, given free cell phones, given free accommodations here and there and everywhere.
	Who's coordinating this?
	Well, that is coordinated by the globalists.
	Yes.
	But who specifically?
	This is ridiculous that nobody, I mean, I'm surprised that people have put up with this for as long as they have.
	Well, it started a long time ago with political correctness where people were told to shut up, don't say anything mean or nasty, and it just got worse and worse.
	And then we threw in some BLM, and everything with color became an issue.
	And cheap labor.
	Ultimately, it's cheap labor.
	And when I say cheap labor, not just in some factory of which there's not that much left anymore in Europe, but cheap labor in the kitchen, cheap labor to do your lawn, cheap labor to wash your car, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap labor.
	Keep all of your kids on a, it's about money.
	Keep all of your kids on, on, on, in debt with, for education.
	you know, jack everything up.
	It's about money.
	It's now, so who was that?
	Obviously, the Jewish bankers.
	I mean, what answer do you want from me?
	We all know the answer.
	First of all, I don't think it's about the rough.
	I don't think it's about money.
	Oh.
	Because there's these guys, half of these guys are on welfare.
	The amount of, it's about breaking the backs of Western civilization.
	Right?
	It's not about money.
	I mean, there's these people aren't.
	I mean, half of these migrants aren't, you know, doing the lawn, anybody's lawn.
	That's nonsense.
	I mean, people can do their own damn lawn.
	People can do their own laundry.
	All the things that they say, oh, who's going to cleanan your toilets?
	Clean your own damn toilets.
	Have you, Hello, have you been to the UK recently?
	No, I haven't been since 2017.
	Okay.
	But that's fairly recent and it was pretty bad then.
	It's accelerated.
	It's accelerated.
	Yeah, well, it's accelerated under Biden in this country.
	Yeah.
	When they let in twenty million immigrants.
	Yeah.
	That didn't do anything but take over the whole department.
	Okay, stop.
	So then it's about political power.
	If you want to equate it to what happened here, we have a first row seat.
	It was about redistricting, getting more, in this case, Democrat seats and illegal voting.
	So isn't it ultimately about power and isn't power about money or is it just about power?
	So they can sit there and stroke their white pussy and go, I control you all, you plebs.
	Possibly.
	I think it's closer to that.
	But then who is behind it well it's definitely socialist marxist democrats that's it and i think that is i was thinking about this the other day that every the whole world even humanity itself naturally migrates towards socialism and Marxism until it's too late and they figure out, oops, that wasn't a great idea.
	Because the alternative, which is a republic and free.
	and freedom like the United States originally was is not comfortable.
	It's a little scary.
	You know, you might have to get your hands dirty to make keep things the way you want it to be.
	So I think that's it's almost human nature like, well, you know, I just want someone to take care of me.
	And the more that is allowed to happen, the more people feel comfortable with it until you realize you've built a prison up around you and you can't really get out of it.
	So yes, it is Marxist.
	Marxist is probably the best description because it's cultural Marxism.
	We went through that, man.
	We were talking about that in 2009, even when Obama came in, it's all cultural Marxism and, and, you know, that is now completely a thing.
	And ultimately, the, the, the systems and just look at our own political, uh, our own representatives like California.
	I think California's like, hey man, just take care of me so I can hang out, bro.
	Isn't that just human nature?
	And that was one of the great things about America is we said, no, we're going to govern ourselves and you can have a republic if you can keep it because it's hard.
	And then when you have the Marxist socialist government and system, well, that's great because the people who are chosen as so-called leaders and representatives, they love it because it's never a problem for them.
	They make sure that they've got their salary and they've got their health care and they've got their cars and they're taking care of it.
	Well, this is well and good, but let's go back to the original question, which is, this is coordinated.
	You don't have drag queen story hour in Sweden and the UK and the United States out of the blue.
	You don't have.
	have the same exact formula for the immigrants to come in.
	They get a credit card, they get a cell phone, and they get this, they get that, they get free housing, like in New York is a classic example of the Roosevelt.
	Somebody, there is a group that's identifiable.
	Yes.
	I can't identify them.
	I'm just saying they have to be identifiable that is behind the whole thing somehow.
	All right.
	He's managed to pull this off, and I think it's obligatory for us to figure out who these people are and name them.
	Okay.
	Well, I hate to say it because you're not going to like my answer, but the true enemy of the people in this world is Satan.
	And we have a lot of Satanists running the show, running around, doing all kinds of satanic things.
	Well, I'll let that slide as a distinct possibility, but there's still actual people.
	Yes.
	That need to be called out, named, pointed out.
	and and strung up literally okay well let's let's let's just name one let's start with the low-hanging fruit macron starmer um uh queen ursula, Peepers, go with those people.
	In fact, I have a clip here, which kind of brings us all together because it's AI, but it was so funny and so true at the same time.
	This is President Trump.
	Do you know this is a good one?
	Yeah, this is good.
	You've heard out of the car.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
	So President Trump is doing a kind of like an e-entertainment channel red carpet voiceover.
	Not President Trump.
	Not President Trump, but President Trump AI version is doing a red carpet voiceover of The arrival of the European Union leaders to the White House for the summit.
	Okay, let's see who arrives now.
	This guy, they say he's the president of Finland, looking like the captain of a cruise ship.
	We need to get him a captain's hat later on.
	Okay, who the fuck is this guy?
	These Europeans all look like accountants.
	Yes, sir.
	I come to do your Texas.
	Okay, thank you, sir.
	Ah, the British Prime Minister, they say this guy is gay.
	I don't know if that's true or not.
	I just think he's a dork.
	Shut.
	Hey, this guy is definitely gay, and his wife is a man, and she beats him.
	MM well.
	Emmanuel, poor guy.
	Huh?
	Georgia Maloney.
	I love her.
	I told her and Elon that if they ever have a kid, they better name him Eloni Maloney.
	Ursula, I like that she calls me daddy.
	They all should when you think about it.
	Good day.
	I come to see my American daddy.
	Yes, thank you very much.
	There's always truth in humor.
	You know, it's true.
	accountants, cruise ship captains, losers, weirdos, you know.
	How did they get there?
	That is actually the question of the day.
	That can only be the question.
	Corruption and voting.
	I think that the fix has been in so long on that.
	Everywhere.
	They figured that out a long time ago.
	And you know what?
	The people deserve it.
	We deserve what we got to.
	And now we have President Trump.
	And now it's even hard for him to hold on to anyone supporting him because, you know, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.
	Yeah.
	So that is a question I fear, unfortunately, will never, will have to remain unanswered.
	Satan.
	Yes.
	Yes, that's my answer.
	That is the enemy of the world.
	That's a nice answer.
	It doesn't help.
	That's not, dude, I'll tell you this.
	It does if we all do or not help.
	If we all start.
	It's not a helpful answer, no.
	Not for not for a lapsed Catholic, no, but it's okay.
	I pray for you two.
	You can pray as you want.
	It's not a good answer.
	It doesn't solve anything.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, say, what are you going to do?
	It doesn't solve anything.
	That's the problem I have with it.
	The United States of America has a chance of getting out of some of this nonsense unscathed.
	We really do.
	That particularly are.
	Well, tell that to the Roosevelt Hotel.
	I'm telling it to all of you the 20 million that all it took was one guy, Biden comes in, it doesn't know what he's doing.
	It only takes one generation.
	It takes one guy.
	Yes, that's right.
	One guy four years.
	Well, you gotta add Obama to it.
	Obama was a big part of it.
	He was a big part of it.
	It took a generation.
	The millennials weren't paying attention.
	Can't blame them.
	They were psychoped into believing.
	No, they're they're told they're told stooges.
	They were psychoped.
	They were psychoped into believing that you need a college education in gender studies and then you'll come out and you'll make $150,000 a year, learn to code and meanwhile but, butt-track plumbers can do a buck fifty.
	Come on.
	It wasn't a code.
	It was a psyop.
	Oh, my favorite.
	It was a psyop.
	Yeah, we fired you whole, all the entire, the entire pipeline operations shuttered.
	You guys should just learn, you pipeline workers should just learn to code.
	Do we have any, oh, here's Joe Biden.
	I come from a family where in an area where it's coal mine is, grand.
	Anybody can go down 300 to 3000 feet in the mine, sure enough can learn how to program as well.
	Hey, man, you can learn how to program.
	You can learn how to program.
	And if you can go down to mine, you can learn how to program.
	Guy can't even program his phone.
	Well, let's get into this summit meeting for a moment, because there are a couple of things.
	I'll just set it up with unbelievably, unbelievably.
	And I'm sure you have clips of this, right?
	You've got an analysis.
	Yes, you do.
	Bolton.
	Fart sniffing Bolton.
	By the way, my analysis is so off the wall that you blow out everything you can before we play it.
	Okay.
	So Bolton, fartsniffing Bolton.
	I'm not saying that flippantly.
	Wasn't he in a club where they sniffed each other's farts in New York or was that just what?
	Yes, yes.
	I'm sure of it.
	Yes.
	I mean, I'd like that.
	That's funny.
	We talked about it on the show.
	No.
	Yeah.
	Hold on.
	Okay, go ahead.
	Do your look up and see if you can find it.
	Okay.
	Well, I have here.
	National Security.
	Longest National Security.
	There we go.
	Longest serving national security advisor.
	The question is, who was that?
	Yeah.
	Who's she going to bring on the show is the point?
	Who is she going to bring back all these?
	And the fact that Tulsi is a horrible person, who's she going to bring on?
	The fart sniffer.
	What's his name?
	The mustache man.
	Boom.
	What's his name?
	Fart sniffer.
	You just called him.
	Well, listen, listen.
	So we understand.
	There was a story that we've discussed that he would go to some club in New York where they would sniff each other's farts.
	Am I?
	No.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	I'm not.
	I like the idea.
	It's funny.
	But the fact that you're defending it, you imagine that it's true, is kind of disconcerning.
	Ah.
	It was a.
	Like, yeah, you said there's the opening of the show.
	Yes, there was a weird perverted club in New York.
	There you go.
	I'll save that one.
	I've got it, Watson.
	Tennessee Williams was a part of this club.
	No.
	Okay, no.
	Tennessee Williams was part of a necrophiliac club.
	Well, that's even worse than fart sniffing, I'd say.
	Anyway, we don't have to belabor the point of what Bolton does in his spare time.
	But he did do something interesting.
	Well, he looks like a guy who...
	That's the reason that the joke is funny, but to believe it, to be true, is like all over the top.
	You know what?
	I'm just making it true.
	Should we ask Error?
	I mean, we can do that.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	There you go.
	Ask our buddy Error.
	Okay.
	Hey, Error, is it true that John Bolton belonged to a club where people sniffed each other's farts?
	Oh, two, three.
	Oh, yeah.
	Rumor that seems to have popped up from nowhere.
	There's no evidence or credible reports of John Bolton being involved being involved in anything like that.
	You suck.
	See, AI is wrong again.
	She took her for, she actually did some digging.
	No, not that one.
	I had the channel closed.
	I didn't have her, I didn't have her open.
	Her mic was, wasn't open.
	Anyway, so here's Bolton and he does something interesting for the first time that I can recall in an interview and this is NPR.
	Putin's pretext for the full scale invasion of Ukraine was the possibility of Ukraine's NATO membership.
	NATO membership is a security guarantee.
	So given that, what indication is there that any security guarantee, is there any security guarantee that President Putin would accept?
	Well, there's a lot of loose talk in the West about security guarantees, and many observers have pointed out we gave Ukraine security guarantees with the Budapest Memorandum in 1994.
	That didn't deter Russia then.
	People throw around this talk of an Article 5-like provision.
	You know, Article 5 in the Treaty of Washington that created NATO is famous for the line that an attack on one will be deemed an attack on all.
	And nobody forgets the line.
	Nobody remembers the line a little bit further down in Article 5 that says that each party will, and I'm quoting now, take such action as it deems necessary.
	I looked it up.
	That's true.
	We all have taken Article 5 at face value for the first line, not for the rest, which is, yeah, you know, but we'll, we got your back if we feel like it.
	Did you know this?
	Yeah.
	I didn't know this.
	I didn't know that it was still optional.
	I thought it was, oh, yeah.
	Well, otherwise, every time a missile accidentally, in fact, the latest thing, I don't know if I have a clip of it, of the rocket that hit, or I guess it was a drone that landed in Poland in a cornfield.
	Yeah, but that was all, you know, running with their hair on fire over that.
	Yeah, I think that's because it triggered the whole thing, you know, if it was it could have but it did.
	But that's it's not going to happen.
	No, that's not we're not going to have nuclear war.
	We're not going to have anything of that.
	But as Queen Ursula let out on the last episode when she was doing her little love fest with the Zelensky in Brussels, it's going to be the Europeans.
	Now the question is, what exactly does that mean?
	And I think what they all want is they want hundreds of thousands of European Union troops to be in Ukraine, not on the border, we'll have a demilitarized zone.
	And the reason for that is they want to keep their war economy going and we're going to be perfectly fine with that because we're going to be selling them all the dumb stuff they're going to be using for nothing.
	That makes nothing but sense.
	And then with a promise of EU ascension and we'll have to rouse up some corruption, which, okay, we'll see.
	Anyway, let's since you've got an off the wall analysis, I'll give the anal, I'll have our buddy Andrew Rasulis with his.
	With his Oh, there he is.
	That's the Yeah.
	That's your buddy.
	This is the guy.
	Yeah, this is your go to guy.
	He's like a phone notice.
	This is going to be, you're going to be hearing a lot from this guy for the next six months.
	And that's because we like him.
	We think that he's he's a former war department guy in Canada and he knows what he's talking about.
	So, and he has a pretty clear view of things and it seems straight up.
	Good to see you on these key days.
	And this is one certainly.
	Some of the true social posts I was just mentioning, I wouldn't mind starting there because they're the latest we've heard from US President Trump.
	Let's look at this.
	The one line he's written, President Zelenskyy can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to.
	He seems to be putting the onus entirely on Zelensky here, Andrew.
	What is he seeking to accomplish with this messaging?
	Well, I think the messaging is that basically the overall parameters of a deal are coming together.
	Now that is from Trump's perspective.
	But he's basically saying there's a deal to be made here.
	There's going to be concessions on territory.
	In fact, reflections of reality, since Ukrainians were not going to militarily retake their lost territories.
	And the key thing, your quote from Vitkov, about the Russians making an unrighteousness.
	That's a new one.
	So I think from Trump's point of view, saying, there's the deal.
	You got it.
	Yeah, there is the deal.
	And the deal includes Crimea and whatever security guarantees you want, it will not be NATO.
	Okay, well, hold on for a second.
	We'll come back to security guarantees because this truth social post continues that there will be no I just love how that anything on the internet truth social X, what because of Zelensky's not posting, that would be funny if Zelensky posted on truth social, that would be cool.
	But instead he does it on X. Yeah.
	So this is now how the news operates.
	And President Trump's pretty smart with this.
	I'll give you my statement.
	Thank you for your attention to this matter.
	The official post continues that there will be no getting back Crimea and in all caps, no going into NATO by Ukraine.
	And again, for Ukraine, deciding its future is so all caps is it's obvious no NATO.
	You know, it's so essential to all of its demands.
	So again, what do you think of that part of Trump's latest social media posting?
	I think it's a reality check here for the Ukrainians because the war started.
	The Russians attacked Ukraine over the issue of NATO enlargement.
	Up until now, the Russian position has been that the war will only end when Ukraine becomes a neutral country that is completely not militarily connected to the West, whether politically or militarily.
	Now, the concession apparently that Vitkov is saying of a legal guarantee bilateral, not NATO, but NATO style legal guarantee, that is a Russian change.
	They're actually saying Ukraine, what's left of it, can actually have a legal security guarantee with the West, including the United States.
	That's a fundamental shift, actually.
	That is big.
	And that is it.
	That's a huge concession.
	And I think that's why President Trump is like, we got a deal here.
	It just can't, it can't be NATO.
	And by the way, just to recall, wasn't it Vice President Kamala Harris who went to the Munich Security Conference and started all this by talking about, yeah, NATO, we should put some nuclear weapons in Ukraine?
	Wasn't that her?
	I don't remember her saying putting nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
	No, but I think Zelensky came right out of the, if I recall, I think Zelensky came right out of the Munich Conference and said, well, yeah, we should have nuclear weapons here.
	But she was saying NATO.
	Well, he's always what he does.
	Okay.
	A question here, what he thought of the EU leaders?
	I think Maloney is really interesting to watch here because we've already seen a quote from her saying that in terms of these security guarantees, she's disagreeing with the French president Macron, who's constantly talking about bringing French forces, at least, or a coalition of the willing forces into Ukraine after a ceasefire.
	Maloney's saying no.
	The Italians are really not opposed to that because they're saying, you know, there's X amount of Italians and there's Y amount of Russians.
	There's a whole bunch more Russians.
	So she doesn't want to get involved in a potential war with Russia over Ukraine.
	So security guarantees one thing, but boots on the ground in Ukraine is another thing.
	So that's so Maloney is very interesting that way.
	I think from Starmer and Macron and Mertz, we're going to get the typical, yeah, we're going to boots on the ground, you know, Russia can't make a step forward, the hard line.
	But Maloney is actually the different one here.
	Let's listen just for a second so we can see if we can recall it from this clip from MSNBC about Kamala at the Munich Security Conference.
	Lindsay, this speech was real.
	This was the single most significant speech by an American leader in the global forum calling out Russian aggression and calling out Russia for disinformation since 1962, since the Cuban missile crisis by Adlai Stevenson.
	What we're watching right now with Vice President Harris is an American leader essentially telling the world, we are almost on the brink of war and we have to stop that clip.
	What's he talking about, 1962 Adlai Stevenson?
	I don't know.
	It's Kennedy.
	Okay.
	Adlai Stevenson had nothing to do with the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.
	He was a twice failed presidential candidate in 52, 52, I'm sorry, 62 is when the missile crisis took place, 52 is when he ran.
	He ran again four years later in 56, lost both times when the last time the same guy ran twice.
	It had nothing to do with anything after that.
	He was an Illinois governor.
	I mean, it was like, What are they talking about, Adelaide Stevenson?
	What kind of a report is this?
	Well, it's for MSNBC.
	The more you know in the morning.
	I mean, come on.
	Thank you for correcting MSNBC.
	Surprising that they had something wrong.
	I'm just trying to see if he mentions what Harris said.
	1962, since the Cuban Missile Crisis by Adlai Stevenson.
	What we're watching right now with Vice President Harris is an American leader essentially telling the world, We are almost on the brink of war and we have to resist it because it will destabilize our entire way of life.
	And that is a powerful message.
	This is not a normal speech.
	This is a serious moment for the United States and for Europe.
	So, Joel, who is that message for?
	Who is Vice President Harris talking to?
	Is she talking to world leaders, the American people, Putin himself?
	Putin.
	First and foremost, she's speaking directly at that conference to the allies who are looking to her and to the United States for leadership at this moment.
	And she's saying, we have delivered.
	We are with you.
	We are unified.
	And that is not always a message.
	And she hinted at this that the United States has been giving, certainly during President Trump.
	She's also making it clear to Vladimir Putin.
	And look at this, the juxtaposition, really, of the entire world, the United States.
	But I don't know.
	I'll look it up for Sunday show.
	Well, you're not going to find it.
	Okay.
	You doubting Thomas Hughes?
	No, she's not going to find it because she never did.
	We can't do.
	that we can't even suggest such a thing and if she did she's an well by okay i'm we're gonna go on on a limb here if she did she's an idiot um let's play the poland stuff for a second just as a break okay uh The Texas War Hot Poland.
	Okay.
	Texas.
	I'm sorry.
	I said Texas.
	Because I got a Texas clip I went by.
	I said Russia.
	Texas.
	What is that?
	Yeah, you can put me in the same category as Kamala.
	Russia War Hot Poland.
	At least 1500 injured in a overnight Russian attack on Ukraine's Sumy region.
	This includes a family with three children aged five months, four years and six years old.
	That's according to Ukrainian officials who say Russia launched 15 drones in the attack on the Sumy region in the early hours of Wednesday.
	Meanwhile, in Ukraine's Odessa region, firefighters were dealing with the aftermath of another reported Russian drone strike.
	Ukrainian officials called it a massive drone strike, saying it injured one person and caused a large fire.
	Over fifty emergency workers battle the flames.
	And in neighboring Poland on Wednesdayday, a military drone fell and exploded in a cornfield in the NATO member country.
	Polish officials say it may have been a Russian version of an Iranian drone.
	Once again, we are dealing with a provocation by the Russian Federation with a Russian drone.
	We are dealing with it in a crucial moment when discussions about peace are underway.
	Residents in the area where the drone made impact recount the moment of the explosion.
	You're sitting there.
	You're doing something on your computer.
	Your wife is practically asleep and then boom.
	The whole house shakes.
	An attack on Poland would mean an attack on NATO, which could have serious consequences.
	Poland also directly borders Germany, which has the highest GDP and is one of the most influential countries in Europe.
	Poland's defense minister says Russia's goal is to provoke Western allies.
	Okay.
	Yeah, that some drone went off, killed her and landed in a cornfield big deal.
	It's also somewhat dubious because they determined that it was Russian from some fragments.
	And it's also exactly the kind of material that has been used in Europe.
	Yeah, I'm sure it's completely dubious.
	By the way, he did mention Germany and in there.
	Did you notice Maloney sitting between Trump and and Marshall Peepers?
	Oh yeah.
	Rolling her eyes and just going, you know, she did everything short of sticking her finger in her mouth.
	Listen to this and making a puke sound.
	According to the Polish army, no airspace violations were detected from Ukraine or Belarus.
	Police discovered charred metal and plastic fragments scattered across the cornfield.
	According to the newspaper Respospolita, the wreckage of may be from a Russian Shahhead 131-36 kamikaze drone, the type commonly used in Ukraine.
	So, you know, not necessarily enough evidence to get NATO to invoke Article 5.
	They're not going to invoke Article 5.
	No, we're not Cornfield attacking.
	Cornfield, they're hurting our cornfields now.
	Here's a part two.
	At a time when President Trump is doing everything to bring about this peace and Ukraine is open to concluding this peace, the provocative strategy and hybrid war continue.
	So far, Russia hasn't commented on whether Poland was the intended target.
	Really?
	Like they're going to comment, hey, you were targeting that cornfield.
	Come on, be honest.
	So while the first clip was playing, I read through the transcript of what Vice President Harris said, and she did not say specifically NATO is going to defend Ukraine, but it was so implied.
	So, but it was enough.
	It was enough at the time.
	Putin said that, you know, hey, it's just as responsible as anyone.
	Yes, that this is what I wanted to point out.
	Well, you got that part right.
	Her fault.
	It's all her fault.
	Well, she didn't do anything to to stand it off, stand it down, that's for sure.
	Yeah.
	Let's listen to, well, I I have, uh, I have NPR's morning edition report of the Coalition of the West.
	Oh, God, the morning edition is getting worse.
	Well, that's what we have.
	From Brussels, Terry Schultz joins us now to talk about the challenges Europe faces with so many factors still dependent on Washington.
	So Terry, how have European leaders been digesting the events from Washington?
	Well, quickly hours after those meetings at the white house that the eu leaders who'd been present there were back here in virtual sessions debriefing their counterparts and that urgency just goes to show how high stakes the situation stop clip they're the leaders right they are the leaders yes who are their counterparts then who would be a counterpart no that's if you're
	the if you're the president Yeah.
	Do you have a counterpart?
	Another guy above you or even equal to you?
	No, I mean, there's 27 member states, so maybe the other people.
	Oh, like the polls and the work.
	And that urgency just shows how high stakes the situation is for Europe.
	They had both a meeting of this coalition of the willing, that is about thirty countries, which have expressed their readiness to physically help support a ceasefire in Ukraine, and they had one with just the 27 EU member countries.
	President Trump has made it pretty clear that he wants Europe to take the lead on Ukrainian security.
	That's our understanding, right?
	That's right.
	And they more or less already decided that themselves before Trump became more supportive of Ukraine.
	But now the president has confirmed it many times.
	And the good news for the Europeans is that Trump is now promising for the first time to help with Ukraine.
	The European Council President Antonio Costa, chairing the meeting of EU leaders, said Europe is actually working hand in hand with the US.
	Their commitment to participate in the security guarantees with the Europeans and other like-minded countries is a very important step, a very welcome step.
	Now Costa says there's still a difficult road ahead, but Europeans are feeling assured by the new US support.
	Of course, we don't really know what it means.
	Is it boots in the air?
	Is it, yeah, we'll do some flybyes, you know, maybe we'll drop some supplies.
	It's very, it's not clear what will we're going to do.
	I predict we'll be doing very little other than dropping off the orders.
	What did you order?
	You ordered some tanks.
	Here they are.
	We're doing that.
	Oh, you got joined by Fries with that.
	We're flying them in.
	But how might this look practically?
	I mean, this coalition has been meeting for months without the participation of the US.
	Well, and also without even a basic outline of what a final peace deal might look like between Russia and Ukraine.
	So what would be the rules and protections and obligations of such a mission on the ground?
	In addition, it's been hamstrung since it was created by the US lack of support earlier, which is really critical both in terms of capabilities such as intelligence sharing and surveillance where the US is dominant, but also the deterrent factor, sort of the stick that you have with an agreement backed by the US, especially in the eyes of the Kremlin.
	So now discussions will take a new, more optimistic shape.
	Now President Trump says no US troops would join this mission.
	So how willing are Europeans to send their people into Ukraine?
	Well, that's a huge unanswered question because it's not clear whether this mission would be to sort of monitor a ceasefire or reinforce it or defend certain lines.
	And those verbs all mean very different things carrying different levels of danger for those deployed.
	In general, European countries are going to have to send forces, and it seems about ten have committed to doing that that so far, but some options are much less palatable than others.
	And if this is a small force, it's just there to deter Russia, reattacking Ukraine, this is sometimes described as a tripwire force, what happens if it is attacked?
	We don't have any answers yet, or are we going to need to see hundreds of thousands of European military personnel armed to fight back?
	Yes.
	I think that's pretty unlikely.
	No, I think it's very likely, and they have to.
	There is a very high unemployment level in the European Union.
	People have no work.
	There's only one thing left to do.
	Constriction?
	Constriction, conscription.
	I like constriction is the same thing.
	Conscription.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	It has to be a military draft.
	They're already talking about it in Germany and nobody wants it.
	But okay.
	The German youth do not want to fight for Germany or anybody else for that matter.
	There it's something like they did a survey.
	So like only 20, 20, maybe 30 percent at the most would take up arms for Germany.
	So 30 percent will go into the military and 20 percent will be, well, not actually more than that.
	There'll be 50 percent women who probably won't have to go and the 20 percent of men who.
	don't want to go, they're going to be doing podcasts.
	I mean, there's nothing else for them to do.
	There's nothing else.
	And that's what you need.
	It's like, hey, do you want to have a good pay?
	Go into the Luftwaffe and get in there.
	And it's going to be every single country.
	And it'll be a pretty good gig because nothing's going to happen other than some fear mongering.
	I think Russia likes it.
	We're probably going to do some great business with Russia.
	That's what I think is happening here.
	President Trump, President Putin, like, okay, or whoever that is.
	Because man, that guy have you the pictures of putin it just doesn't look like putin anymore and by the way somebody pointed out something because we have a fake first of all a little backstory mimi's working with a guy in los angeles to to produce a book in a memoirs of that this guy's doing i'm not going to say who oh another book is this well we got a bunch of gate gateway publishing gate view gate view gate view i'm sorry marketing
	marketing marketing marketing marketing gate view i'll never forget now one of the one of his best friends was kennedy's double Wow.
	And he was so apparently was incredibly depressed when Kennedy was assassinated.
	Yeah, he lost his gig.
	He lost his gig.
	So one of our producers pointed out in an email this morning saying that the fake Trump is up and around because the fake Trump has a tell.
	Yeah, I'm a little dubious about this, but I'm dubious about it too, but I just like it.
	I'm just going to say it.
	People can figure it out for themselves.
	I'm dubious about all the fakes, by the way, except for that Hillary, that one with the purse on the wrong side and shorts.
	And daddy long legs Biden.
	Come on.
	Oh, and the double Biden.
	Yeah.
	There's at least three Biden.
	So that's two out of four now.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Well, half of them.
	We might as well just go all the way.
	They're all fakes.
	Y'all budget.
	So this Trump says, when he's talking in third person, he says the Trump administration.
	He refers to the Trump administration when the real Trump always says my administration.
	Yeah, but that's speech written.
	Well, maybe not.
	It's something to look out for.
	I just say it was an interesting tell.
	If true, it's possible.
	Now, because, you know, Dick Gregory had this back in.
	2015, 2016.
	Oh, he died.
	Oh, yeah.
	He talked about it.
	He had the thesis that there were two Trump's, and one of them, he says, the real one always wore the red tie, and the fake one wore blue tie.
	And that's when Trump only appeared with those two ties.
	Now he wears pink, he wears yellow, he wears all kinds of ties.
	Allow me to play that clip.
	The few weeks.
	First, there's two Trump's.
	Okay.
	The one in the red tie is the real one.
	The one in the blue tie is not.
	The one you saw last night after the victory was the blue tie.
	Now, if you would punch up, uh, Dr. Carson, Ben Carson, when Trump called him a pedophile.
	Predophile.
	And the next day he joined Trump.
	And the guy asked him, see, every night in your sleep and stays up, he said, why'd you do that?
	He said, there's two Trump's.
	I was with the good one.
	You see it there.
	Just punch up.
	When somebody interviewed him, he said, there's two Donald Trump's.
	easy to pull up.
	You know, there's a Yes.
	There's a different theory, which I quite like.
	And the only reason I bring it up is because this clip kind of, by the way, We're the only podcast and the best in the universe.
	Of course.
	That talks about body doubles when it's a known fact that they're used to an extreme.
	The theory goes that the elites have long since perfected the art of cloning ever since that stupid sheep dolly dolly the sheep and just a stretch ever since I met that dog.
	I thought it was a sheep.
	Oh, no, I met the first clone dog.
	Yeah.
	And what did he say?
	Hi.
	He said hi.
	Okay.
	But I'm just saying because the theory keeps coming back and people email me this very seriously.
	So I take these things seriously because they clearly believe that it's, if not possible, that it's true and that many celebrities already have their clones and they, of course, they need to shut up, otherwise, you know, they'll have to do all the work themselves.
	That would suck.
	Heaven forbid.
	And that the real Putin, this is the story.
	The real Putin, the OG Putin is dead.
	He died because remember, he had cancer, he had leukemia.
	Well, they kept trying to kill blow him up.
	So he was dead.
	But luckily, luckily, they had the clone.
	And President Trump himself in 2022 kind of alluded to this.
	Do you respect Putin?
	Well, he's a different person.
	I'll tell you something.
	I got along with him.
	And look, I got along with him loving this country and he loves his country, okay?
	But he's a different person than he was.
	He seems to be different.
	Is he salubed?
	Is he mentally?
	He just doesn't seem to be the same person I was dealing with.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	It's a clone.
	Well, that's an interesting clip.
	The problem I have with it is why haven't they, if they can make a clone, why haven't they perfected it?
	I mean, I've heard the reasoning behind it that it kind of actually looks like the person.
	It's not a clone if he doesn't look like him, if he doesn't think like him, if he doesn't act like him.
	It's not a clone.
	It's detectable.
	I mean, well, if you're going to, I can see the rat, I can see somebody coming up with reasons.
	I mean, for one thing, the developmental aspects of a person.
	you can develop worry lines or using aging, just the normal process of getting older and older.
	You might get a bad habit that creates a line in your face or you ate too much and you're getting a chubby face.
	I mean, there's all these variables that you can't control in terms of making a copy.
	So you might have what somebody should ideally look like genetically.
	They'd look like this if they hadn't.
	you know, chubbed out when they were in their 30s and then lost a lot of weight.
	Congratulations.
	Congratulations.
	You have nailed the theory of clone difference to the T. It's exactly right because even though you can make the clone and you can't control what the clone eats and the different environment they live in versus their original DNA donor.
	That is exactly the theory.
	That's how it goes.
	And who knows if that phone call was the real Trump?
	We don't know anything.
	Breaking news.
	Nobody knows anything.
	I don't even know if that's the basic thesis of the show.
	I don't even know if you're John C. Dvorak anymore.
	I haven't seen you in a couple years.
	I don't know.
	They may have replaced you.
	I could be a clone myself.
	Well, that's why I'm talking like this.
	Well, they nailed it on the attitude.
	So good job, science.
	That's all it takes.
	It's just genetic.
	There's nothing you can do about it.
	Anyway, Reuters went to the much more important things of the summit meeting.
	Obviously, Reuters, they would take the high road.
	Another talking point from Monday's White House meeting, that suit.
	President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit.
	I feel ashamed.
	Zelensky's black shirt and blazer combo certainly made diplomatic waves, as well as keeping Donald Trump and journalist Brian Glen happy.
	He was the one who called out Zelensky for his attire in February.
	Behind the new look, Ukrainian designer Viktor Anisimov.
	He told us he didn't tailor the look for Trump or anyone else.
	He says a leader should look dignified and that's it.
	And it was all very last minute.
	Anisimov saying that he was working on alterations until just before Zelenskyy flew out to Washington.
	I love that Reuters actually went through the trouble of trying to find the designer of the suits.
	That's interesting because they tried to at least Fox tried to promote it as they bought the suit that day at one of the clothing stores in New York.
	Like HM off the rack.
	That's mean.
	That's just Fox.
	That's just Fox being Fox.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, it can't make sense.
	It doesn't take that long.
	You know, if you're in Asia, for people out there who, if you ever travel, to anyone out there who wants to go to Korea, I'd say even Taiwan to a lesser extent, but Korea is the main place.
	They have suit makers in.
	in Itawan district.
	There's a bunch of these clothing places.
	I know, John, you used to have your shirts made.
	Tell them about the pocket.
	And I would have, well, I wasn't going to talk about the shirts.
	You are not.
	You are now.
	Okay.
	Okay, I used to have custom shirts made and I always had a Peri Ellis pleat put in the shoulders, which was no one else would do any place else.
	Well, they do in Hong Kong too.
	What kind of pleat?
	It's a pleat that's on the shoulders that I noticed some Peri Ellis shirts used to have.
	I noticed it on a bartender once and I asked him.
	Because it has a certain look to it.
	It's a beautiful look.
	Imperiella is the name of the Peri Ellis.
	Oh, Peri Ellis.
	Peri Ellis.
	The Peri Ellis cleat.
	Okay.
	Pleat.
	Okay.
	I'm just trying to get it anyway.
	So you can have this done.
	So I have these shirts made with that pleat, which is technically illegal.
	Yeah.
	But the because it's copyrighted or something.
	But anyway, so I always had my the shirt pockets were the exact same size as a CD.
	So when you go to a party and you want to steal somebody's CDs, you could easily slip them in the shirt pocket.
	They go right to the bottom.
	Boom, no one would even know you had them.
	How many CDs did you wind up stealing?
	I never stole one.
	I just just in case.
	Just in case you need to.
	I had to.
	I had the means.
	Coppa disc.
	Yeah, so there's big pockets.
	People say, yeah, these pockets look a little large.
	Now, the question is, was it a five-inch floppy?
	No, it was a CD with a jewel case.
	It had to be, it was the size of a jewel case CD.
	Hey, man, that guy's got some awesome tunes.
	I'm going to steal his CD.
	You're a treasure.
	Oh, yeah.
	And by the way, I would be all for clones of us taking over the show.
	I'm good.
	Put me in a tiny home.
	Perfect.
	Let's go.
	With growing doubts about America's willingness to defend its allies, especially especially under President Trump, some lawmakers are now discussing hosting, sharing or even developing nuclear weapons.
	They just threw that in.
	Wow.
	They just threw that in.
	No, they're just asking for trouble.
	Okay, well, I that we're ready for my three clips.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, hold on.
	Can you get any more?
	Could you get them out of the way?
	Because that's what this is.
	It will be done after this.
	I know.
	Last again from Reuters about the whole security deal.
	President Trump is weighing whether to offer US air support.
	Potentially including fighter jets.
	What's up with this?
	This is Reuters.
	They're a news agency.
	kind of dramatizing everything.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	Military planners in Washington and Europe are exploring options for post-conflict security following Trump's meeting with Ukraine's president and EU leaders, which ended with plans for direct talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
	Steve Holland has more on the US calculations.
	One of the things they are not considering is putting US troops on the ground.
	That idea bubbled up in the last few days And President Trump has basically shot that thing down.
	But other ideas that are possible are the United States providing air support for whatever peacekeeping buffer is there along the border.
	There's also the possibility of supplying air defense systems to Ukraine to protect them from these drone attacks, missile attacks from Russia.
	Theoretically, if there's a halt to the fighting, these people would be there on a peacekeeping basis.
	Another option, according to two sources Reuters spoke with, is sending European forces to Ukraine, but putting the US in.
	in charge of them.
	Whatever has worked out, President Trump will need to allay fears domestically.
	The American public is largely supportive of Ukraine, but they're also weary of more foreign entanglements.
	Trump was elected on one of the notions that he would not involve the United States in overseas conflicts.
	He has stuck to that, and by ruling out troops, he's trying to stick to that as well.
	But his MAGA base of supporters, they are really against this sort of thing.
	So Trump would have to provide them some sort of reassurances that the United States is not going to get into a hot war against Russia.
	Yeah, because otherwise Dave Smith will get angry and Scott Horton will freak out.
	How's that Middle East war going against Iran that we were going to be in?
	Yeah, those guys are nuts.
	Yeah, by the way, you took me off the track with that shirt story.
	I meant to talk about getting a suit, tailor-made suit in Korea.
	I'm sorry.
	Which is what people can do.
	If you go to, and I was saying, if you go to Korea, make sure to go to this district.
	There's a number of stores that do this shop around because there's about the price differs a bit, but you can get a tailor-made suit for about $200 to $250 and a tailor-made sport coat for $150.
	They'll fit you and then do the adjustments on the same day.
	You'll have a complete suit the next day.
	It doesn't take forever if they have the infrastructure.
	So the idea that Zelensky had to go for a million, you know, this is jack.
	But this is haute couture.
	You know, Ukrainian fashion.
	you know what?
	I am going to tell you right now that in the next Paris fashion shows, There will be black on black.
	There will be Zelensky inspired fashion.
	It will be from some previously unknown Ukrainian fashion designer and people will love it.
	Oh, this is fabulous.
	Very much, very Zelensky of you.
	Very Zelensky look.
	Very Zelensky of you.
	All right.
	By the way, let me just say trolls.
	Dunk go.
	They said, oh yeah, dunk on the pro peace people.
	anti-war and pro-peace too.
	Doesn't mean that some things don't have to happen.
	Well, I think the pro-peace people in many instances as proven by these next three clips may be just stooges There you go, because that's what the bombing of Iran was about.
	in my opinion now let's let's So he's a little different in his approach to thinking about China.
	But when you think of when they're talking about the situation going on in Ukraine and you're talking about trilateral, what comes to mind.
	When I think about the situation in Ukraine and I think about trilateral, now this is a riddle I don't know if I can solve.
	Well, it shouldn't be hard for you to say.
	It means that the Russians, the Ukrainians, and Trump are going to get together in a trilateral three-way meeting.
	Yes, a threesome.
	That's what everybody thinks trilateral is all about, right?
	That would be right, right, right.
	Right, right.
	You can't end the sentence with right, right?
	Right?
	You can't, you're right.
	Right?
	So.
	So, not according to this analyst, this guy has a different look at things, and he thinks that this war is designed to drag on, and he's got his own reasons.
	This is quite an interesting analysis, which nobody has even discussed or come close to.
	This is the new Russian trilat one.
	And joining us now to discuss these latest developments is National Security Advisor and China Analyst Casey Fleming.
	He's the CEO of Black Ops Partners.
	Casey, as always, thank you so much for joining us now.
	All eyes are on how the Russia-Ukraine conflict is going to end.
	Russia has just indicated it wants a trilateral with India and China.
	What could this mean in terms of Putin ending or continuing the war in Ukraine?
	I think what we're looking at, and my team thinks that what we're looking at is an extended peace negotiation.
	We've got two sides.
	We've got the United States and Ukraine who want an immediate end to the war.
	And you've got the other side, which is China, Russia, and other allies of China and Russia who want to keep it.
	extended and they play the long game so we want to play the short game to a quick ceasefire and a quick peace agreement but the other negotiators the adversaries want to keep it much longer the ccp is the wild card in this thing.
	The CCP plays the long game.
	They want to keep Russia engaged in Ukraine, therefore the U.S. engaged in Ukraine to keep us distracted along with the Middle East and potentially another war that pops up, either Taiwan or North Korea.
	So the game for the CCP is to keep the United States very distracted so they can continue their extreme aggression throughout the rest of the world.
	Oh, this doesn't surprise me that the NTD China haters would see this as the angle.
	That's not so surprising.
	Well, I agree 100% with the NTD China haters.
	Of course, of course.
	They're totally on board with that.
	China is running away from everywhere.
	I just read that Angola But you maybe have been duped.
	What, that 300,000 Chinese are fleeing Angola because the Angolans are sick and tired of their Belt and Road lies?
	You may be, maybe that's not, maybe they've been duped.
	I mean, I agree that this is NTD China worse.
	This is, well, that's the not like best case analysis.
	Okay, okay.
	Case analysis.
	Well, it's good.
	Because worst case analysis is looking at China as the bad guy in everything you do, everything you see, everything you eat, everything you buy.
	Yeah.
	It's China.
	Best part of it.
	And so it's okay.
	So we'll continue with that thesis in mind.
	Now on that note, both China and India have been buying Russian oil, which the US says has been helping to fund the conflict, although India has been buying less since President Trump slashed additional tariffs on Indian exports to the US over its Russian oil and gas imports.
	But reports note that China is involved with more than just economic support.
	Some note the No Limits Partnership that was struck just before the invasion.
	What has been China's role here?
	China's role has been very supportive of Russia.
	You remember that they created a very strong alliance and agreement until friends until the end before they ever went before Russia ever went into Ukraine.
	So there's a strategic partnership there at least for now where they are aligned against the United States and to remove the United States as a global superpower and for the CCP's eventual rule of the rest of the world.
	So it's a partnership that we cannot ignore.
	The CCP is the wild card in this situation.
	They are the grand puppet master with Russia, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea underneath that, and to a little bit of an extent, India as well.
	So it's China is the wild card.
	They want to keep this war going as long as they possibly can.
	And if there is a temporary ceasefire or a quote temporary peace agreement, it will be temporary.
	Okay, and does he explain just how China is going to keep this war going as long as possible?
	I mean, are they going to do that through their misinformation?
	But what are they going to do, what tools do they have for this?
	Tucker Carlson?
	What do you mean, Tucker Carl?
	Is he a pro China guy all of a sudden?
	I don't think he, I think there's a lot of unwitting dupes.
	You named a couple of them, the so-called peace nicks, the people in the chat room that condemn us when in fact we're the peace nicks.
	But why?
	Okay, hold on.
	I'm with you.
	I'm just trying to understand.
	Where to look for this?
	They're clearly not getting a phone call saying, hey, best price.
	Well, I'm going to bring it back.
	I think a good example is Mr. Peepers at the sit-down with Maloney in the middle, rolling your eyes, and he's going on and on about how we should demand the ceasefire instead of the peace agreement.
	And the ceasefire is a...
	I'm with you on the European Union, Stooges, for sure.
	Because we know, just by what we know, which is the ceasefire is a non-starter for Putin, because he knows that all that means is just going to be a pause.
	And so they can't have that.
	And they're not going to do a ceasefire under the circumstances.
	But yet, why is Mr. Pieper pushing it?
	out of the blue knowing full well what happened with Trump and Putin.
	But he's yak, yak, yaking it right there with Maloney in the middle.
	So I say the Chinese have got their, and like this guy says, he's their puppet masters.
	They got these puppets, and the puppets are everywhere, according to him.
	And I think there's some evidence of that.
	Okay.
	First of all, Maloney in the middle just sounds like a cool game.
	I mean, it's in the bottle on steroids.
	Maloney in the middle.
	Well, I'll ask you the question after you set up the last clip of this, and I have a question.
	Okay.
	And speaking of alliances, Casey, what what about the North Korean troops fighting alongside the Russians how should we read that the strong alliance like I mentioned China is the grand puppeteer the grand master puppeteer with with Russia Iran Pakistan and North Korea underneath that piece of it and just to add a little bit of confusion and a little bit more complexity underneath Iran you have the terrorist organizations so this is all a master plan by the Chinese Communist Party I think we
	as a government we as a country in the free world underestimate China we all have a long history of underestimating the Chinese Communist Party and it's high time that we we understand just how critical their role is in the future developments of the world.
	Expand on this for us a little bit.
	What is China's goal in terms of the Russia-Ukraine war here?
	Is it in the Chinese regime's interest for it to continue?
	Absolutely.
	They are supplying Russia with finance, buying Russian oil and military armaments, including drones.
	So they're fully engaged.
	Again, they want this war to continue indefinitely.
	Hold on a second.
	That's very interesting.
	And I'll tell you why.
	Let me hear that last, the first bit.
	Expand on this for us a little bit.
	What is China's goal in terms of the Russia-Ukraine war here.
	Is it in the Chinese regime's interest for it to continue?
	Absolutely.
	They are supplying Russia with finance, buying Russian oil and military armaments, including drones.
	Drones.
	The reason I pick up on that is because that is a main, was a main talking point by Queen Ursula in her Zelensky love fest.
	where she said, well, you know, it looks like there's going to be mainly drones that we're going to be building in Ukraine.
	So it's a twist.
	It's a twist around to think of it, but maybe she's also.
	in on this.
	And like, well, you know, there's just going to be lots of drones because China's going to do drones and we might as well do drones and we'll just keep this a drone thing because it's a big money maker for my overlords in China.
	Does that make any sense?
	Yeah, I guess it could be.
	Okay.
	So they're fully engaged.
	Again, they want this war to continue indefinitely.
	So it keeps us distracted, keeps us spread very thin from supporting, you know, two, three wars around the world.
	So CCP has ultimate designs.
	I think when you have to look at it, they want to rule the world.
	completely in their 100-year plan, which ends in the year 2049 as Xi Jinping and the CCP have been overachievers you might want to forecast that as being year 2035 which is 10 short years away and here's a quote from me the world will be won or lost within the next 10 years that's from our analysis of what's been going on and we've been in this game quite a long time Well,
	here's my question.
	If we have stooges, and I'm not going to go for podcasters or trolls in the troll room, but let's say people Peeper's maybe Ursula.
	Ursula is corrupt.
	We know that because just look at the text gate with Pfizer.
	She's clear and she's not elected.
	She's just showed up all of a sudden from Peeper's land.
	Yeah.
	So what is the incentive for them?
	That has to be money.
	You're not telling me that they're in adjust for the power.
	Well, that's a good question, and I don't know the answer to it.
	There is an incentive of some sort.
	Money.
	I mean, don't they just want to have lots and lots and lots of money and just be., you know, well, I think they would have that type of attitude, I'm sure.
	Because, you know, everyone's always jealous of someone, the billionaires of the United States and China, which has just as many, and their luxury life, life of luxury in villas.
	Yes, having them.
	Having them, although our people don't do that so much.
	No, no, but they like to have their hair done in Paris and flying around.
	Flying around.
	Flying around, flying around, basically.
	By the way, a lot of them being extolled.
	Exolled?
	Oh, look at who are high.
	You know?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Worshipped.
	Worshipped.
	Worshiped, yes.
	Well, there's a plan afoot.
	If it's money, if it's money, then there's something, there's a plan here that, do you mind if I do a little series here?
	I'm, uh, I relinquish the floor because I gave you my, uh, screwball analysis that nobody else has even touched.
	Is good?
	Is good?
	And now you can do, you've got something else to do.
	Well, yes.
	And I'll also add to that that if it gets boring, I'll let you know.
	Yeah, I don't care.
	Um, if, of course.
	Well, you'll let me know, but it won't stop me.
	Yeah, no, it never does make a difference.
	You just get irked.
	I'm not even going to get irked, because I think you'll like it but um we do know that mark rutte secretary general of it's not my series it's not my series don't don't get don't get too excited oh nuts it's it's not mark rutte but he kept saying well you know nato when we yes we must the united states must pivot to asia to the Pacific, we must pivot to Pacific.
	So this is not only just Russia now, but it must be the Pacific.
	So that is definitely on deck.
	And again, I think our general agreement is that the bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities was to send a message to China and it seems to have worked.
	It ended.
	And President Trump even sent the Israeli jets back, you know, because I don't know who's in charge there.
	You gotta wonder.
	Anyway, so this starts off with Besant, our Secretary of the Treasury, who said, no way, I don't want to be the Fed.
	I don't want President Trump even said, oh, he loves what he's doing.
	He wants to be the he wants he wants to be right where he is.
	No, he does not want to be a part of the Fed.
	And I think it's pretty clear that President Trump has his sights set clearly.
	on the Fed and the power that they have and everybody should be happy that that's being looked at because it sucks.
	It sucks that the Fed has so much power over our lives.
	So we start first with this is him with Kudlow and this is kind of not really discussed that very much but this foreign investment that we keep hearing about, oh, you know, 500 billion from these guys, 700 billion from these guys, everyone's going to be that's not that's not just a direct check that they write off to American companies.
	This is highly orchestrated.
	We have these agreements in place where the Japanese, the Koreans, and to some extent the Europeans will invest in companies and industries that we direct them, largely at the president's discretion.
	And how does that work?
	I mean, it's almost like an offshore appropriation.
	I'm not sure we've ever had anything like that in the States before.
	Have you consulted with, I don't know, the Senate of Finance Committee or the House Ways and Means Committee or what?
	Well, Larry, I think a good framing of that is other countries in essencesence, are providing us with a sovereign wealth fund.
	So they're going to buy our goods.
	Well, that's essentially what's going on.
	Well, wait, let me step back.
	They're going to build our factories.
	They're going to help us build new factories, which mister Trump loves.
	Exactly.
	So the way to think about it is these huge surpluses accumulated offshore.
	Let's take Japan, we're going to have 550 billion, and they will be reinvesting that back into the US economy, and we will be able to direct them as we reshore these critical industries.
	We are trying to derisk the US economy from what we saw during COVID.
	The president loves new factories.
	He'll take rehabed old factories, but he loves new factories.
	So I thought that was rather interesting that basically, I guess the Treasury used to say, Okay, here's where you're going to put the money.
	This is what you're going to do.
	If true, but it's sound, and I'm sure that that's where tariffs and all kinds of other stuff comes into play that we're not told about.
	Like, well, you don't want to put your money into these companies, tariff.
	We're just going to mess with you with tariffs.
	So then.
	And then it comes this, and thanks to Chris Fisher from Jupiter Broadcasting, he did a great series on these, and I was taken by it.
	And it's from Arthur Hayes.
	He's a former Wall Street guy, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, market maker and ETFs, trader, Citibank in Hong Kong.
	He's been around.
	But he also co-founded Bitmex, which is a cryptocurrency exchange.
	And he's widely regarded as someone who's smart.
	And he explains the stablecoin gambit under Besant and the control it will have over the entire world and how it will neutralize the Fed.
	There's two pools of money, which I think Besant via monetary policy and aggressive use of terrorizing sanctions can make people on board in the stable coins.
	The first is the euro dollar market, right?
	So, you know, 1950s and 1960s, the euro dollar market was created because of.
	And just we've been through this before, but the euro dollar market is nothing more than dollars that are not in America, but mainly traded in foreign exchange in Europe.
	And there's a lot of them.
	And once they're in a non-American bank, you know, there's really not much control we have over it.
	So that's the euro dollar, as they call it.
	You know, 1950s and 60s, euro dollar market was created because of all the regulations and prohibitions around interest payments and trade flows that the U.S. monetary authorities are putting on commercial banks.
	And so you have these foreign branches of U.S. banks and foreign banks saying, hey, I'll take your dollars outside of U.S. control.
	So we have this $10 to $13 trillion market, which nobody has any control over, oftentimes influences Fed and Treasury policy in terms of when dollars become expensive and cheap in the euro dollar market and you can probably trace almost every financial crisis outside of the united states to euro dollar market flows and you know these these flows are not doing what bess it wants them to do he can't control them he doesn't know where they are and he can't make them buy what he wants which is treasury bills so my idea and
	you know maybe he'll do this or maybe he won't i don't know is right now why do you feel comfortable in a euro dollar because every time your banking institution has gotten into trouble the fed the treasury bails you out even if technically they shouldn't be doing it so because you're not a member of the discount window don't follow us regulations but you know we can point to many many, many, even 2008, the Fed secretly bailed out All these foreign branches of banks for all their bad trading policies to make sure the euro dollar depositor was sweet.
	So the idea here is to have stablecoin flood the world, but not just floating out there as dollar equivalents, but to have complete control over the users of it.
	Already 400 million people are using stablecoin throughout the rest of the world.
	And this is how Bessant never wants to go to leave for the Fed because he can actually neutralize the Fed and control interest rates through the stablecoins backed by short term US Treasuries.
	So the first thing Bessant should do is.
	say, hey, guess what?
	If you don't have your money in a U.S. branch of a bank or a U.S. bank inside of America, you do not have a guarantee any longer.
	We will not come and save you anymore.
	So all of a sudden, these dollars, oh, okay, well, there isn't this blanket government guarantee from the Fed and the Treasury for these trillions of dollars that I have deposited on these banks.
	But I could put my money into a stablecoin.
	And a stablecoin means that the dollars are either a deposit at a US branch of a bank in America or they're holding Treasury bills.
	So if you don't feel safe in your Deutsche Bank account in Switzerland or wherever, just talk.
	Just talk to your authorized participant and move these deposits over to a stablecoin.
	And now you have access to your dollars.
	You have the blanket guarantee of the U.S. government.
	And guess what?
	You might earn a bit of a yield on your money because you probably don't get much of a yield in a euro dollar deposit outside of America because the banks don't actually need your money and they have to pay capital charges because they based on three and blah, blah, blah, right?
	All the bad things about why banks don't like large deposits.
	And so now you have, you know, a $10 to $13 trillion tam of money that could flow into stablecoins from abroad.
	And once you're in a stablecoin, Bestin has full control.
	He knows where you are, you know, which bank.
	he you know he knows where you're clearing your treasuries and the best part is he can offer you a yield that's lower than fed funds so if fed funds is four and a half he can say oh guess what i'll give you two on a six month t bill and you say well i can't really do anything about that because i'm not going to go into a u.s bank bank bank deposit the banks don't even pay you anywhere close to fed funds so fuck it i'll just buy the two percent that best and offers so best and can one and one fills stroke completely new to the fed and no longer does the fed have any control over fed funds
	because best and can offer the treasury bill at whatever price he wants unconstrained by what you know powell or whoever his successor does So that's the control mechanism.
	Now, how are we going to spread these stablecoins around the world and the United States so everybody starts using them?
	We hearken back to Elon's everything app, X Money, and not just him.
	What was that dumb Facebook coin that they almost got to?
	I can't remember the name of that thing.
	Error?
	Error would know.
	Error would know.
	What was the name of the Facebook money that they tried to push through.
	So about the last bit, the Facebook settlement money, payments from the 700 No, see she's stupid.
	Oh, she's dumb.
	She's a dummy.
	Yeah.
	Facebook had a coin they tried to push into the market.
	Oh, you mean like the launch coin on the belief platform?
	It's been Okay, has no answer for me, stupid.
	Well, that she should.
	The corpus would have that information.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Sableface, whatever it was called.
	Someone will eventually come up with it.
	The fart coin, the Zuckerbox.
	No, none of that.
	The Libra.
	There it is.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, weirdo.
	The Libra.
	And everyone was all weirdo.
	The guy's name was weirdo.
	W, W, I, I, R, D, O, weirdo.
	So what could you do now to spread your stablecoin throughout the world?
	The US has ways.
	You have a lot of retail.
	around the world in developed and developing countries.
	I live in Asia and basically the entire investment game out here in Asia is how do we get local currency into dollars so they can buy higher yielding assets and equities.
	That's literally all of finance in Asia and then every so often the regulators come after people and they basically put the young guy in jail and the boss stays sweet as they do and that is the game.
	So Bessica could say okay guess what we're going to deputize Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and give them protection to go and offer a stablecoin big account.
	And we don't care if a foreign regulator, whether banking or internet regulator says, we don't like this.
	We don't like that you're basically giving a dollar big account to our entire underclass or anyone who's not a wealthy individual.
	And they don't care care because they're sitting in Hawaii and Austin, Texas, and Trump is protecting them.
	And if you go and you try to remove access to Facebook or X, guess what?
	Sanctions, just like what Trump threatened with Europe when they had their Digital Information Act or whatever it is.
	So that's how they'd spread it around.
	I'm totally, that's, of all the things he's saying, I'm like, that makes a lot of sense.
	And looking at the Genius Act, that would be possible if they adhere to certain, but basically you have to have, Well, that's possible.
	But now to bring it back around to the corrupt CCP influenced policy.
	politicians, this is another perfect gambit for it.
	And then furthermore, Besson finally has a sanctions weapon, right?
	So if you're in Asia or a lot of developers...
	And I will say that I could call this a boring presentation, but it's interesting at the same time.
	Which is a game.
	That's why I'm stopping.
	Who is this guy again?
	Arthur Hayes.
	And what's his background?
	Wall Street banker and the founder of Bitfinex, a big cryptocurrency exchange.
	But he's a long-term, I think mainly in Hong Kong, Deutsche City.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	This is the last clip.
	So thank you for hanging in there.
	And then furthermore, Besson finally has a sanctions weapon, right?
	So if you're in Asia or a lot of developing world, all the elites essentially steal from their people and put their money in U.S. banks in some way, shape, or form.
	And so guess what, president or prime minister or parliamentarian?
	If you don't allow Western social media companies to bank all of your people with dollars, I'm going to sanction you and you're going to lose access to the billions of dollars that you stole from your people.
	And so guess what's going to happen?
	Nothing.
	And so I think that is how you're going to get sort of like 20, 25 trillion dollar TAM of money that could flow into dollar stable coins.
	And I think they're hinting at this already in terms of, you know, you have the major social media companies saying, oh, we're investigating stable coins and this, that and the other thing.
	And, you know, Besson's very pro on them.
	And then basically what does the stable coins do?
	They're going to buy treasury bills and they'll buy whatever yield Besson offers.
	They can completely destroy the Fed.
	You can put, you know, short term rates wherever you want.
	he wants it.
	And now he's got a sink of tens of trillions of dollars that he can essentially fund the U.S. government with until they do some sort of yield curve control to bring down the long end.
	Exactly.
	Until it no longer works, which is probably 10 years or so, but then it will no longer work.
	I think this is a decent thesis.
	Well, it's a fascinating one, that's for sure.
	And it could be the, it could end the Fed.
	But it could also collapse on itself at some point for some reason unknown.
	Oh, easy.
	And it would bring the entire world's economy to a halt.
	Yeah.
	At least for a while, because you can't do it forever.
	but it could become the linchpin of the economy, which would be interesting to see.
	But I think the angle that you caught, which was the interesting thing that caught my attention that made me want to listen to the whole thing, which is that, yes, Elon Musk has been talking about making X an all-in, does-everything-for-you kind of monetary market of some sort to compete with, while stablecoin wants to compete with the Fed and with SWIFT, Elon Musk wants to compete.
	russia russia comes back into the fold not right which is what we want we want russia back in the fold and then you have Elon wanting to compete with PayPal, since he never, he always felt wronged in some funny way because they didn't, didn't, well, they kicked him out.
	They kicked him out of PayPal.
	That's why he felt wrong.
	That's whenever people connect Peter Thiel to Elon Musk, like, those, there's no love lost between those two.
	And that's why he spent a lot, millions of dollars getting x dot com back because he always wanted PayPal to be called x.
	And they kicked him out probably because he was no good.
	Or at least for now.
	Or probably because he's annoying.
	I think he is good.
	Just he's just annoying.
	But he's got to be annoying.
	I mean, even Trump figured.
	that out.
	Yeah.
	And he's been very quiet.
	You know, where's his, where's his new political party?
	I think he's been reading, hey, shh, we're going to get you, we're going to make you the stablecoin queen.
	He's been very quiet.
	Yeah, more or less, and he doesn't, and he lets all the pro-Trump activism go right through X, no problem, never, you know, doesn't get bumped off or anything.
	A lot of screwball stuff on X, I have to say.
	It's fun.
	I know, I see you.
	Someone's like, you're always complaining that you can't get past 100,000 followers, but you're not growing your account like Dvorak.
	You're not growing my account shrunk again.
	That but just the whole concept of you've got to grow your account, man, by posting a lot.
	That's how you grow your account.
	And when do I reap the harvest from this growth?
	When do I get Yeah, well, there's no harvest to be reaped except it's just prestige.
	Yeah.
	I would say that I'm going to subscribe.
	I got a check mark because of my numbers, but I'm going to subscribe to X. Oh.
	And I'll bet you my numbers go up.
	Oh, no, there's an interesting, if, oh, that's very interesting.
	Yeah, that's what my thesis is.
	I've been waiting for it because when it stabilizes, I'm going to subscribe.
	And then I want to see if my numbers, because my numbers should technically go up.
	And this will grow your brand.
	It'll grow on the brand, the Dvorak, the fabulous and valuable Dvorak brand.
	Yeah, man, grow your account and your brand.
	This is beautiful.
	Well, if you can do it and if it works, I'm all in.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well we'll see.
	It's a test coming up.
	Coming up.
	Coming up.
	We're going to I'll report back.
	Just to make sure we don't fall asleep.
	Breaking Exclusive.
	Breaking Exclusive.
	Missouri AG Andrew Bailey being brought in for the future replacement of FBI Director Cash Patel.
	I just love Alex.
	Breaking Exclusive.
	Okay.
	What?
	Oh yeah.
	Well, first of all, he's Deputy Director, not Director.
	Yeah, they're bringing in two new guys.
	to be co deputy directors because as you well pointed out that was the breaking exclusive on this show.
	You know, oh no, actually, Cash Patel is the director, I'm sorry.
	Yeah, he is the director.
	I know he's the director.
	What do you think of Bon Gino?
	Bon Gino.
	Yeah, Cash Patel, I think like Bon Gino, he wants to pop out.
	He's tired of it.
	He didn't like it.
	No, he's got nothing better to do.
	Cash Patel?
	Yeah.
	He can do podcasts.
	He's got nothing better to do.
	He's he's he's he can do podcasts.
	No, no.
	Yes.
	He's no good.
	People love podcasts.
	Well, they love podcasts.s, but he's, you know, you have to have some, some chops.
	By the way, I need to tell you my story.
	I went to the podcast movement in Dallas.
	Ah, here we go.
	Yeah, I went to the podcast movement in Dallas.
	Was it a bowel movement?
	No, no.
	So this is the big podcast industrial complex conference.
	Were you around when?
	Yeah, you I don't know if you were around when.
	I'm sure I was around.
	Well, you were around, but you were alive on this earth.
	The first, so we had the New Media Expo, which always took place in California.
	What's that place that sounds like a Canadian place?
	Ontario, Ontario, California.
	And the New Media Expo, then those guys were very smart and they said, well, you know, this podcast thing has taken off.
	Let's call it the podcast conference.
	And they did their first one in Vegas and we had pod show at the time.
	And so I don't know if you were there yet.
	And they said to me, hey, Adam, would you would you would you come and do?
	Yeah, you've you've complained about this for a while.
	Well, this upcoming complaint that you're going to discuss.
	Yes, just to reiterate.
	Come and do the.
	I'm like, I don't really like doing keynotes.
	You invented it.
	Okay, fine.
	And they said, okay, I'll do the keynote.
	Okay, can we put you down for a gold sponsorship?
	I'm like, what?
	Well, yeah.
	If you want the keynote, you have to be a gold sponsor, which I think was $10,000 or $15,000.
	I'm like, no.
	In fact, I won't charge you for a speaking fee for showing up.
	They have got enough.
	Like, man, you're not supporting the industry.
	You got all that VC money.
	Yeah, you got VC money but not to squander it.
	When you give a keynote, you should be paid to do the keynote, not pay them.
	Thank you.
	So bad man.
	Like, no.
	And that got pretty heated.
	And I said, We're not going to.
	I'll do your keynote.
	We're not going to do a sponsorship.
	Well, then you can't do the keynote.
	Well, fine.
	And what we then did is we took our ten thousand dollars and we started an unconference in the hotel right next door at the pool with chicks and bikinis and drinks.
	I'm sure you would have remembered if you were there.
	I would have remembered that.
	So I came later.
	And it was the podcast unconference and everybody was hanging out.
	We had the mixed drinks and beer and it did not endear me to the podcast industrial complex, but we were rebels, rebels, I tell you.
	So of course, I never got invited to do anything with any podcast industrial complex conference until gosh, is it now three years ago that podcast you were blackballed for being a dick.
	Correct.
	or not playing the game.
	But I agree with you.
	I think your thesis, I think you're, you stood on proper grounds.
	You were doing it.
	are professional.
	You don't pay somebody so you can give a speech.
	Well, I know you haven't done any conference speeches for a while, but that is now pretty much the entire game.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's why one of the reasons I probably haven't done any conference speeches in the last five plus years, at least.
	At least.
	So if you, if that's the game, I'm not playing the game.
	I don't have time for that crap.
	I can, I have a podcast to, to attend to.
	And, and, and, and, yes you do you need to grow your brand you're busy right now i need to grow my brand on twitter you're busy doing things that are very important growing your brand So three years ago, because of the out of the gate success of the podcast index and there was a lot of noise around podcasting 2.0 and new apps were coming up, they said, well, you know, if you want to do a session, you know, we'll make something available to you.
	And I said, well, you know, because at this point, I wanted to just meet a lot of these people who have been working on this project.
	And so we all decided to meet in Dallas.
	And they literally put us during lunch in a room way in the back on the third floor.
	And so with the expected results, it was like twenty people.
	there and, you know, no signage, no promotion.
	So it was quite insulting, but that's a good one.
	Yeah, but it didn't cost money and we got to meet everyone and hang out for a couple of days.
	So of course, I vowed I would never do anything, but then one of the participants in Podcasting 2.0 Soundstack, who actually do a lot of hosting and a lot of ad stuff for other podcast hosting companies, and they're most known for Live 365 live streaming, which is a big part of Podcasting 2.0, witness people listening to this on a modern podcast app, Rocky Thomas.
	She said, Hey Adam, we'll pay for a booth if you come and do a, you know, just a fireside chat.
	I was like, that sounds like fun.
	And I just, and I talked to my buddy Mitch, the parodontist.
	He said, yeah, you can use my plane.
	And so I flew up in the morning and flew back in the afternoon.
	So I didn't have to stay overnight or drive five hours each way or spend seven hours getting there by commercial.
	So not too much skin off my bones.
	And And the main thing, so it was great.
	It was fun.
	Talked about, you know, agenda, how awesome we are, value for value, live stream, all this stuff.
	But what was new, and this is something.
	new for conferences, which I was, I was convinced would suck.
	The way they do it now is they don't have a hundred, you know, all these little rooms where, you know, you can, you can shove thirty, forty people in there and it always smells.
	You know what I mean?
	You get like those session rooms and it's just smelly and sweaty.
	Am I right?
	I don't know.
	I never noticed the stench because I never played a small room.
	Well, remember, these are podcasters.
	So these are people who typically sit in their basement doing a podcast.
	So okay, it makes sense.
	And then if it's full, you know, you people can't.
	stand in the back and you can barely move.
	And so it's no good.
	So they have this giant expo hall at the Gaylord in Dallas.
	And first of all, it's carpeted.
	And I gotta tell you, when it comes to trade shows, carpeting is very important, particularly for people who are walking around all day.
	It's good.
	Very thick, nice carpeting.
	And they had all of these stages completely open with chairs in front and plenty of room for people to stand around.
	And you'd think this would be a nightmare with all these different interviews and speeches and key notes going on, but no.
	But no, they have, and I guess this is a new thing with conferences, you walk into the expo hall, everybody gets a pair of headphones, wireless headphones, and there's three controls on the headphones, on-off, volume button, and then a channel selector, and the headphones on the outside turn color, white, blue, red, green, or purple, indicating what channel you're listening to.
	So we're sitting on stage.
	We have headphones on.
	We have hand mics.
	And we're on the white channel, which I did say was kind of racist.
	And the whole audience packed, all had headphones on with the, you could see if someone wasn't listening, like someone's on the red channel, you could, you could rouse them, you could call them out, but no one was doing that.
	And they all have their headphones on.
	I thought this was going to be the stupidest thing in the world.
	Like, how lame is this?
	I gotta tell you, it was fantastic.
	It's like doing a podcast where everybody's on the podcast, only they don't have mics and they're all listening because you're in their head between their ears and no one was on their phone.
	No one was looking down.
	No one's looking away.
	It was really.
	revolutionary for the conference business.
	I will hand that to them.
	Sounds terrible.
	That's what I thought, but it's not.
	So they had all the stages, like it's like an outdoor concert with multiple stages in the same room.
	And these guys talking, oh, that's...
	I like Coat Hanger better.
	And they're just talking.
	You never would have been able to hear them from way in the back, but I just put the head.phones on, clicked on that button.
	Well, that makes sense.
	It was great.
	Instead of, you know, you can't really hear people are poorly micro, it's not loud enough, you got feedback.
	Now, we could all have just stayed at home and been on Zoom, to be honest about it.
	Well, you have a good audio engineer who knows how to stage speakers.
	So there's a delay between the front speaker and the back speaker in such a way that the sound sounds like what, you sound like the voice of God when you're speaking up there.
	But nobody has those guys anymore.
	I don't know why, why.
	I guess they learned the how to vibe code, man.
	Anyway, it was very enjoyable.
	And then just a bunch of people I knew.
	So everybody's going to have ear infections is what you're telling me.
	That was kind of the disgusting part.
	They did not hand out little sanitization kits, you know, where you can just wipe down the, you know, get sweaty.
	You wouldn't have liked it because, you know, you get ear mold.
	You get sweaty ears.
	Ear mold.
	I don't need the aggravation of ear mold.
	So that was the...
	Welcome.
	All of the new listeners.
	In fact, since we talked about it, why don't we say in the morning.
	to you, the man who put the C in Capa disc.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and the only mister John C. De Moran.
	Yeah, in the morning to you, mister Anna Curry, in the morning, ship C boosts the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Let me count you for a second.
	Hold on.
	20.
	laughter
	Well, that is what I call an we got 1655.
	It seems we went down.
	Yeah, we should have eighteen.
	We should have eighteen at least.
	Yes.
	Okay, well, there you go.
	Okay.
	Well, it's probably the stablecoin discussion.
	Really, I don't think it was.
	No, I think people don't like to talk about things that are that complicated.
	No, because one hour and nine minutes ago was the peak at 16:55.
	So that was, that was, well, then we still have a very big problem with the people stop coming because they had a problem a couple of weeks ago and they still haven't figured out that it's been fixed.
	Yeah.
	But people have emailed me and said, hey, it's working again.
	So we'll have to build that back up one at a time.
	You know what?
	When you grow your brand on X, you should let people know.
	But only when you grow your brand, not before.
	So yes, many of them are listening at trollroom.io or they may be on one of those modern podcast apps, which I highlighted at the podcast movement.
	I would have expected all of you were using them by now.
	But there were a lot of, oh, and, uh, uh, when I told them that, you know, when you go live with your podcast, your podcast app will alert you your audience so you can grow your brand.
	Oh, oh, grow your show.
	Oh, oh, that's great.
	And of course, through the magic of PodPing technology, when we release the show, since you didn't have time or couldn't listen live, within 90 seconds, you'll be notified of that.
	And you can get those at podcastapps.com.
	We are also value for value, another topic much discussed, which is kind of a simple concept really.
	It's like we don't want to be interrupted by ads.
	We don't want to cow tow to the podcast's industrial complex.
	By the way, the CPMs for those ads?
	What do you think the CPM is for an ad that's inserted?
	A dollar?
	Not quite that bad, about 350.
	350.
	I mean, and it can only go down.
	It's not going to go up.
	No, no, now there's a higher CPM, which is cost per thousand for those who are interested.
	If you if you read an ad, a host read ad.
	Host read ad.
	Where I would what's that?
	Your five bucks?
	Where I would, no, that can be it.
	They say, they say up to about twenty, but after commissions from everybody, probably you're looking at thirteen.
	And it would go like, you know, John, Phoebe's looking so great.
	Really?
	Why, you think?
	Well, I started feeding her this new food.
	Tell me more.
	It's called Farmer's Dog.
	Yeah.
	And people would immediately rush and say, wow, Adam's dog is looking good.
	I gotta get me some of that.
	And that's how it works.
	But instead of being total shills, we just asked you to support the show equal directly.
	So all we have is processing fees.
	No middlemen here besides the obvious processing fees.
	Yeah, the thing is, even when you have the middleman, there's pro you still have the processing fees.
	But if you send a check, which we gladly accept, there's a very, there's 15 cents per check.
	Or if you send cash like Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch, there's zero processing fees.
	There's zero.
	Actually, there is a cash fee now.
	No, what?
	they charge you to deposit money to the bank?
	Yeah, after a certain amount.
	Same thing with checks.
	There's a certain amount of checks.
	I think it's like a hundred or a couple of hundred checks you can do for free, which is really cheap.
	It's free.
	But then after a certain amount, then it goes to the 15 cents.
	No, for free.
	Per dollar?
	Per dollar?
	Or per check?
	No, it's 15 cents per whatever.
	It doesn't, no, it's a flat fee per check.
	So if you send in $1,000 in a check, it's 15 cents.
	If you send in $5 in a check, it's 15 cents.
	If you send in $1 in a check, it's 15 cents.
	I got it.
	Unlike, you know, the systems out there from everything from Visa, MasterCard, everything is a percentage of the total, which is, you know, not quite as good a deal.
	Right.
	Be honest about it.
	But yes, at some point, I don't know what the cutoff is.
	I've never asked, but I do know there's a cash acceptance fee.
	I think you get after it gets to a few thousand bucks they start charging you.
	Hey, you know what's going to revolutionize this?
	Stablecoin.
	That's right.
	I think probably not.
	There's still going to be a fee.
	You think the banks are going to let anything like that slide without fees?
	Dream World.
	It'll have to be pretty low.
	There will be, but there will be no middle.
	How low can it go?
	15 cents?
	It'll be even lower.
	No.
	Now they're probably hurting themselves at 15 cents.
	Oh, maybe.
	I'm surprised it's that cheap.
	I think Stripe that we have on the website already accepts stablecoin.
	I'd love to see the first person donate to the show with USDC because that's what they accept on Stripe.
	What's USDC?
	US digital currency?
	No, that's the circle stablecoin.
	You have USDT, which is Tether.
	And of course, you'll have USDX, which will be X, and USDF, which will be Facebook.
	Yeah, USDC is already accepting it.
	Looking at the news.
	I was going to say trades, but it wasn't in the trades.
	It was in the news, financial news, that the Zelle thing is falling apart.
	Oh, yeah.
	The banks hate it for a couple of reasons.
	Well, the bank that we deal with, the two of us, refused to take it, even though it has gone through.
	Yeah, because it's basically a wire transfer through an intermediary.
	But the banks don't like it because there's no takes, sees, backs, sees.
	They can take it back.
	And if so, what happens if someone gets a hold of your Zelle and they just empty out your bank account?
	Then you have a very unhappy broke customer and there's no way to get the money back.
	And it's also cutting into their business.
	Well, that's the main reason.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure they care less about your poor problem.
	Yeah, well, there's a lot of things.
	All of these like Venmo.
	So Venmo uses Plaid middleware.
	And what Plaid does is it, in essence, you give it your password.
	I mean, you don't actually give it your password, but you give it permission to be in your account to credit and debit money and look at your stuff.
	And so what the banks have found is that Plaid logs into accounts not just when they're paying or receiving money, but like ten times a day.
	Well, let me see what he's doing now.
	What is he spending money on here?
	Oh, look at that.
	Well, maybe we can sell this to an advertiser.
	It's sick.
	It's gross, really.
	It's gross.
	And they do that well.
	Well, we don't use those systems.
	We use the basic old-fashioned system, the bank itself, cash, PayPal, and Stripe, and now Stripe.
	And that's it.
	We don't have Square.
	We don't do a lot of different ones.
	No.
	But they're all out there.
	But, you know, people say, why don't you do this?
	Why don't you do that?
	How much more can we do?
	Yeah.
	Don't send blankets or water.
	Just send.
	your cash anyway or a check or a check yeah it's great um so you can send time talent treasure you can't actually send time and talent but you by the way the check goes to box 339 El Cerrito california 94530 there you go and it should be addressed to the no agenda show or me there you go or both yes So we love it when people do things for the show,
	boots on the ground, organizing meetups, helping out with servers, other types of things.
	That's all very valuable to the show because it saves us direct money of having to pay for those services.
	And even though we at this point.
	could probably do our own art.
	I don't think we want to because, you know, we're just everyone else is doing prompting on the AIs to create artwork for us.
	Now, obviously, you need to have a good idea, needs to be fun.
	We like it to be funny if possible, and that's not something artificial intelligence can do, so your creativity is still highly appreciated.
	Blue Acorn did the artwork for episode 1791.
	We titled that Bolt Muncher, which is a slur these days for the for robots and AI systems.
	And it was all right.
	I mean, if you had listened to the show, then you then you got it and you liked it.
	Had a boomer counting out resistors on a counter, which I guess is me since I told the story.
	And there's a robot next to it with a whose name is Clanker.
	And it was the best one we had.
	I mean, there were some others.
	Well, you like screwworm.
	I like screwworm.
	You thought it was you thought it hit the gross factor and therefore was vetoed by you.
	Yes, indeed.
	Yeah.
	I have a gross factor thing.
	We both liked body double, but that was screwed up by comic strip blogger who didn't put the effort in.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, if Comics for Blogger had used AI correctly, AI would have said, Oh, your grammar is incorrect.
	Because we wanted that art.
	We thought it was great.
	We were able to have he could have he could have xed that out in a Photoshop and put in the right grammar.
	But he But you're right, he was lazy.
	It says your body double, but it should have said you're a body double.
	And he didn't do that and was also not aligned properly.
	So he was lazy.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It could have been shifted a little bit to the left.
	He would have had he would have won.
	He would have had a winner.
	That was our first choice.
	It was funny.
	Yeah, yeah, because yeah, it was very no agenda, very funny.
	And he was, it was lazy.
	What can you say?
	By the way, on the screwworm thing, I got a note from a, from a rancher.
	Rancher Austin is his name.
	And he said, and he said, this whole screwworm thing is a psyop, the psyop to raise the price of beef.
	And I think he's probably right about that.
	Could be.
	Yeah, the narrative that the Mexican herd is over...
	Didn't you get the whole story?
	Not from me and me.
	Is that what you're making the claim?
	No, I'm saying that as we were eating beef and drinking wine, I may have misunderstood where he said, oh, that whole new, new, new, new world, new screwworm is, that's real.
	And I might have misunderstood his irony that.
	That the way you presented it, no, no, that is not the way I presented it.
	But now that this rancher says, heyy, this is a this is a psyop.
	I'm like, ah, maybe I misunderstood what Slim was saying.
	So I'm going to call him about that and then and then get the phone.
	Didn't Texas Slim also say that the herd count was down and they were having issues?
	That's that's true.
	That is true.
	Well, that was going to that would increase the price of beef for sure.
	Yes.
	Well, that's mainly because we don't, we just have commodity cowboys and people don't care more about ranching and all of the young people are selling their parents ranch because they don't want to pay the inheritance tax and it's a pain in the butt and ranching's hard and they'd rather learn to code.
	Code.
	That's the bottom line.
	So other pieces of art, yes, I like the screwworm, that was a no.
	Was there anything else?
	I don't think there was anything else that we really, you kind of like your new AI girlfriend, but it was messy by Nessworks.
	There was a lot of messiness.
	Yeah, it was messy.
	It was messy.
	And then you also like Putin red carpet, but I'm like, this is another.
	I did like Putin red carpet because I thought that, I thought the cartooning of Putin, the caricature-ish nature of the Putin character walking the red carpet was really pretty good.
	It was, but.
	No, you vetoed that.
	I did.
	Anyway, that's pretty much the discussion we have every single show day after we're, done, after you do the credits, after we Yeah, we do the credits and then we select the art and then we do the title.
	That's how it goes.
	And you just heard the whole conversation in condensed form because we really argue and throw stuff at each other.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So now we'd like to thank the financial, the treasure part of Time, Talents and Treasure, people who've supported us financially.
	And we had a new promotion which you launched without even talking to me about it.
	Although we've I've done this a couple of times now.
	We had discussed it.
	Why don't you explain the explaining?
	Well, we did talk about it, by the way.
	It wasn't like you were completely in the dark because we had discussed on the show the idea of naming, giving a no agenda secretary generalship.
	Yes.
	Out to as a kind of a token title.
	And you can be secretary.
	And we talked about after the show once too about how to do it and it should be state by state.
	And I decided that's probably not a good idea because it limits people that are in the populous states.
	And so I just said it should be open-ended.
	You can make yourself.
	secretary general of anything including the United Nations under the no agenda banner.
	Yeah.
	And so the offering is you can become secretary general and executive producer for $500 and you get to pick where secretary general of what?
	And I suggested in the newsletter Botswana, you can be secretary general of the United States.
	You can be secretary general of Cincinnati.
	It doesn't matter.
	How about the hill country?
	Secretary General of the Hill Country.
	You could be Secretary General of the Hill Country.
	And it's just, it puts that title where it belongs.
	And now does this come with a certificate of authenticity?
	Oh, the certificate, yes.
	Jay is trying to outdo herself.
	So the certificates will probably go out at the end of the month because she now wants to, the thing, the design is going to be slightly different than our other stuff.
	It's always, everyone's been somewhat different.
	but this is gonna have a big adjustment giant wax seal at the bottom that has the itm signet ring thing but bigger she's ordered a giant version.
	Did she order a giant ring to make it?
	No, just a stamp.
	Cool.
	Giant stamp.
	I had to get the art from Paul Couture to her so she could get this thing produced.
	She found it.
	First of all, I got into an argument.
	Nah, I don't think it's not a good idea.
	For one thing, who's going to make these things?
	and every time we have, Now does she preface it by or does she end it with boomer?
	Does she, oh, I can do that.
	No, she doesn't do that.
	She knows better.
	So yes, I'm looking at the troll room, Secretary of Secretary General of Boobs.
	Yes, definitely a possibility.
	Secretary General of Boobs.
	That would be a gem.
	Secretary General of Uranus.
	Yes, all of these are completely valid.
	All valid.
	All valid.
	So Steve Miller came in from Alito, Texas.
	Steve loves us.
	And he supported us with $2,500, not stablecoins, actual digital money.
	And here's what he said.
	We love your fantastic insights and Commentary.
	Is it possible there's still uncertainty whether your three by three intro was or wasn't on the dating game?
	If so, season of reveal Herb Albert's Spanish flea on the dating game.
	Yes, we did deconstruct that.
	You must have missed that.
	Over the last couple of weeks on my drive home from work, I found each of you making me laugh out loud.
	With the pathetic donation levels recently, I felt like I might be running out of time to make things right in our relationship.
	Please deduche me.
	You've been deduced.
	And also please deduce my son, Andrew, who hit me in the mouth during COVID.
	You've been deduced.
	And please split my donation to make us both overdue and loyal Instant Knights names TBD ITM Steve Miller from Alito, Texas.
	Oh, so he didn't, is he not on the list because he's got a TBD there?
	We've got to wait.
	Well, he didn't mention Secretary General.
	Let me just double check.
	Hold on.
	It says he came in with it at the right time.
	He can go pick one up later.
	He's not on the list, so he can definitely pick one up.
	Okay, so he's got the name.
	Okay, we'll knight him when he feels like it.
	Yes.
	Peter Fentino's up next and he's in Eustis, Florida.
	Eustis, huh?
	Sounds right.
	Came in with a thousand.
	Whoa.
	In the morning, boys.
	First time donation.
	I've been listening since the election and thought it was time to pony up.
	My name will be Sir Peter Jockey of the Mountains.
	Dinner is...
	He's just knighting himself.
	Yes.
	He wants beef Wellington and a shaken dirty martini.
	Ooh.
	Do you want all of those?
	I got chewed out by one of our famous, more famous executive producers.
	Oh, executive or associate executive?
	Yeah, that guy.
	Yeah, all right.
	One of our most famous.
	And so he says that he was aghast, and so was his wife, as a matter of fact, that I had never heard of an espresso martini.
	That was rather odd.
	I don't understand why anyone...
	Well, if you get out of the San Francisco Bay Area where you have the drink you have, I can't even remember the name of it, which is this coffee booze drink that we have in San Francisco.
	Coffee booze, it's called the coffee booze drink.
	The coffee booze drink.
	Also known as an Irish coffee, maybe?
	An Irish coffee.
	This is invented at a place in San Francisco.
	You can go there and get them.
	And so that's to me was, you know, and then there's this espresso martini.
	It's been around for a long time.
	Ask the animal.
	Ask Ara.
	Hold on a second.
	Ask her when it came out, when it was invented and who, where it's been, where it was popular.
	The espresso martini.
	Oh, the espresso martini.
	It's such a fun drink vodka coffee liqueur fresh espresso and a touch of simple syrup shaken until frothy and served with those iconic coffee beans on top.
	Here comes it's like I interrupted her.
	Fun fact it was invented in the 1980s in London by a bartender for a model who wanted something to wake her up and mess her up.
	Fun fact.
	Fun fact.
	You haven't been out of the house since the 80s.
	It makes total sense.
	Onward.
	Skylar Firestone.
	Ah, that sounds like a DJ name.
	Skylar Firestone in the morning with everybody Z one hundred.
	That's in Texas, Liberty Hill five one five thirty eight.
	I see no note from Skylar.
	So No, I see nothing.
	So Skylar will get a double up karma.
	You've got double up karma.
	You can do the next one because I have a note for the one after that.
	Yes, Sir Ahab from Mandeville, Louisiana five hundred and he's in on the program.
	Hey guys, it's Sir Ahab, Knight of the Seven Seas.
	It's been a spell.
	I'd like to be Secretary General of the Pacific Fleleet.
	Thanks for all you do.
	That's a good one.
	All right.
	We're going to have to figure out some way to announce these things properly.
	We do have the people mentioned, but we probably don't have their titles with it.
	That's going to, I'm not sure how to do that.
	But we have, now we have Justine Palmer in Bozeman, Montana, who came with 333-43.
	And this is interesting because I first put her name down.
	This is, I have the note, and I sent the note over to Jay.
	I first thought it was Justin, and then I went back and looked, and I said, wait a minute, this is not a signature or handwriting of any known male.
	And I looked, oh, Justine, that makes sense.
	Wow, you're such a sleuth.
	Well, the thing is, it brought me to this idea that women are more into precision than men.
	Okay.
	I just, and I'm trying to develop this into some sort of thinking because during World War II, when the men were all fighting, the factories of the United States were all people by women, a lot of them, and a lot of them became precision engineers and precision mechanics and all this sort of thing.
	And it just fascinates me now that I start to think about it because the women are not credited with this capability.
	I don't know.
	I found it interesting.
	And the note triggered this.
	But here's her note.
	Donation note.
	Thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	And then she's got a birthday shout out for Chris Illuminati.
	Jensen, a separate explanation, no need to read, but I'm going to read it anyway because it's about football.
	Previously, you had mentioned you did not receive any clothing commemorating the most recent college football championship winners from the FBS or FCS D2, etc.
	She knows what all that means.
	Although you have now received Ohio State representation, people promised Florida I never got anything.
	I even closed some Montana State University Bobcats apparel, which is a nice piece, by the way.
	After a 15-0 season, unfortunately, the Bobcats fell short of the 2024 FCS National Championship game, but I couldn't pass on the opportunity to send some D1 AAA FCS love your direction.
	There you go.
	Nice.
	By the way, I concur on precision.
	I know many female pilots, helicopter pilots especially, who are extremely good, and that's precision work.
	It's like all female.
	Yeah, I just think it's there.
	I think it just dawned on me looking at her handwriting that it was, it's an underrated characteristic of women in general.
	Underrated.
	That's right.
	Is Mimi still there?
	Can you compliment her on her precision?
	No, she crashed a car into a tree.
	No.
	I'm kidding.
	Are you though?
	She's an Ellis.
	She's a good driver.
	She's an excellent driver.
	Maybe that's the reason that we mock female drivers because they're so good.
	Because they're that parallel parking is a male's taste.
	Cut in here, cut in here.
	No.
	Not cutting in there.
	Come on, cut in.
	There's a ton of raw.
	You blew it.
	Justin Prule, Prule.
	PROLX, PRULX, Prule.
	I think it's Prulex or something.
	Prulex might be Prulex.
	It's funny the way I'm pronouncing that.
	I don't have it.
	Oh, he's right up the the road, about an hour Canyon Lake, Texas, 33333.
	ITM Gents, thanks for keeping us grounded with amazing M5M analysis every week.
	It was time to donate when I received my new Delta Reserve Amex made with 33% metal from a retired Boeing 747.
	Well, that sounds like a cool product.
	Yeah, I'd say.
	Take a look at this.
	Unless it's blue, that's kind of lame.
	Let me see.
	Delta Reserve Amex.
	Let me see what it looks like.
	He wants some while you're doing that, why don't you give him some health karma for the wife?
	Yeah, she has a broken back.
	She's a broken back, that woman.
	Welcome back to Womitly.
	Here we go.
	You've got Karma.
	It's purple.
	It's purple.
	Purple?
	Yeah, it's purple.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Up next is Baz, BAZZ with a capital Z, the first one anyway.
	333.
	Baz from sunny Singapore.
	Ooh, look at that.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	All right, Baz.
	We need more Singaporeans listening to the show.
	They can all speak English.
	That's actually on Tina's bucket list, Singapore.
	She really wants to visit Singapore.
	Oh, I've been there.
	Yes.
	And I would recommend it as a great place for a vacation.
	It's extremely safe, super clean uh it's a fascist state you have to know that he can't you can't spit gum out you can't chew gum you can you know i mean you can but you really can't you have to better swallow it uh it's a but it's got great food terrific food it's pretty and uh great markets is i would highly recommend singapore as a vacation retreat is there uh is there any um Can we
	get any garments there?
	Custom-made garments?
	You know, I never bought any clothes there.
	I don't think it's the same on the same league as Korea or Taiwan.
	Zadok Brown the Third in Pukalani.
	Pukalani, Hawaii, 315,85.
	And he says, In the morning, gentlemen.
	And we say, In the morning to you, Zadok Brown the Third.
	Thank you.
	Anonymous in Deckerville, Michigan.
	He becomes Associate Executive Producer 267, 267, 67.
	Anonymous, ITM, Trump only jobs karma, please.
	Needed for promotion.
	God to bless.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs.
	You've got karma.
	And we're on to our next associate executive producer, Kurt Kiefer from Austin, Texas.
	The Texans are really supporting the show lately, 263,22.
	And he says, Kurt Kiefer of Austin, Texas, Commodore of Smooth Texas Highways, Gents, my smoking hot, brilliant, free thinking wife, Beth, and I love you guys.
	We listen to the show live while we're cooking dinner together.
	It's a fun activity, highly recommended even for those cheap ass couples who don't donate to the show.
	Get a clue, donate.
	Anyway, this donation makes me a night.
	I'm making it on the day before Beth and I embark on a safari to Tanzania.
	Beth suggested that I get my night donation in before leaving as she thinks the title would look cool on my urn should I be it will look cool on my urn should I be trampled by an elephant or mauled by other big game on our trip.
	Yes, I concur.
	What about dubbing me Night Kurt of the Nongarungo?
	Nongarungaro, no, Nongarungaro, yes.
	Night Kurt of the Nongarungaro crater.
	If that doesn't roll off the tongue, perhaps Night Kurt of the Serengeti.
	You guys pick.
	I like the Nongarungaro.
	non garangaro because it'd be fun for me to try.
	Let's keep it simple for the roundtable, zebra snitzel, hippo hotlinks, a pilsner or two, and just one, just one camel filter cigarette.
	Love you guys, the producers and boobs, says Kurt.
	Great note, Kurt.
	Thank you.
	Camel made filtered?
	Yeah, they're kind of they taste icky, what I remember.
	Taste a bit like a palm mall.
	James Green.

	Thanks for supporting.
	Thanks for reporting on the reporters.
	Oh, thanks for reporting on the reporters.
	Does anyone hear Dr. Huckabee in NPR's Alicia Roscoe?
	Dr. Huckabee.
	Yeah, the mom.
	Huckabee.
	Oh, Huckabee.
	Huckabee.
	No, she's not.
	Oh, she's, oh, yes., Huxtable, the Bill Cosby character.
	His wife.
	In the way Alicia talks.
	Doctor Huxtable.
	Yes.
	I know, Doctor Huxtable, what that was.
	Was that the wife?
	No, no, Doctor Huxtable, that was Cosby, wasn't it?
	Yeah.
	I thought his wife was the doctor.
	Oh, okay, well, I don't know.
	I can't remember what show.
	Well, wait, somebody there does know.
	But, yeah, there's a sound of Alicia Roscoe has is I think she just doesn't sound like a professional big orchestra.
	Ayesha was Ayesha.
	Ayesha.
	Ayesha, Ayesha.
	Yeah, Ayesha.
	Okay, Ayesha.
	Anyway, Suffering Succatash Go Florida ounces.

	Sam Trudell is in Green Bay, Wisconsin, 218.92.
	ITM, he says, I just realized my 33rd birthday is on a show day.
	Time to donate.
	Thanks to Adam W in Milwaukee for hitting me in the mouth, please deduce.
	You've been deduced.
	And I didn't realize he asked this.
	He says, I request a Sharpton hubris.
	And that's from Sam Trudell.
	I don't, you know, it's part of one of these medleys, so I hope I got it.
	Let me see.
	Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.
	No, that's resist we much.
	I don't remember what, where hubris is.
	Hubris.
	Let me see.
	I like the guy I did this, so let me just try.
	Let me try this.
	Maybe this one.
	Thanks for the review.
	Is this crown hog day two?
	We are watching.
	That was attorney general Eric Holder.
	ABD about some.
	Today the Pentagon refuted that claim.
	And he said the American people do not want him to, quote, driddling.
	They do not want him driddling his thumbs.
	You can get a gig as a cooked contortionist, intravenous fluids and pills coated with gelatin.
	Okay, I don't I don't know which one it is.
	I'll have to look that up, sorry.
	But thank you very much.
	Eli the Coffee Guy two zero eight twenty one.
	There he is.
	Mamadi Coffee, by the way.
	It's interesting how recent diplomatic efforts by America to broker peace have gone unnoticed by the M5M.
	It's not that interesting.
	It's what you expect.
	Whether Azerbaijan and Armenia to Cambodia and Thailand, did you see the one thing that wasn't reported?
	Did you see the 5,000 Cambodian Buddhist monks?
	Have you seen this?
	No.
	Yeah.
	a bunch of candidates, like 5,000 of them or more came out in a giant group.
	They took a picture of it and say, we, we, Really?
	Cambodian Buddhist monks.
	Yeah, like 5,000 of them.
	Wow.
	And nobody covered it.
	I'm going to look that up while you're reading this note.
	Fox, I think, covered it.
	Well, duh.
	you Cambodian monks promote Trump for Nobel.
	And you'll probably find it.
	Or maybe your buddy there in the office.
	Oh, I'm tired of her.
	She'll know.
	Anyway, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, or India, Pakistan, this cynic in me questions, were these brief flare-ups of conflict manufactured with the purpose of allowing for a U.S. brokered resolution?
	Seems unlikely we don't have that much power.
	Or is Trump trying to make peace profitable again?
	That seems like that would be nice.
	One thing is certain, tariffs are increasing the price of coffee imports, but at gigawatt coffee roasters dot com, we are dedicated to great coffee at a great price and remember to use code ITM twenty for twenty percent off your first order state caffeinated Eli the coffee guy.
	Well, you were wrong.
	Wrong again.
	It was not five thousand monks.
	It was seventy thousand monks.
	Seventy thousand monks just broke their vows of silence to nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize.
	Dear Mr. President Trump, we are standing here today with hearts full of appreciation.
	Today, 70,000 Cambodian Buddhist monks are wholeheartedly supportive of our Cambodian Prime Minister Hunmanet to nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize.
	Please accept, Mr. President.
	70,000 monks can't be wrong so you got 70 000 monks well they weren't 70 000 there but that gives you no but there was a lot there there was a lot of monks a lot of monks they're all dressed in red and this got no coverage orange what orange oh it's orange yeah i remember they might have been hari krishna i don't know man whatever the case they're all bald yeah they were bald for sure and they It was weird enough as news
	and just a visual was screwball and drawing.
	Yeah, a visual, definitely.
	You'd think somebody in the mainstream media, New York, anybody would have taken a picture and run it in their paper.
	No, nobody except Jesse Waters even mentioned it.
	Yeah.
	That's pathetic.
	Certificate, we've got a couple more associate executive producers here.
	Certificate two hundred dollars forty two cents.
	He says, For some reason I haven't been able to get into politics, including no agenda since the election.
	Not that the results aren't what I wanted, burnout, I suppose, but with this donation, I think I will wage back in.
	No jingles, no karma, says certificate, aka Keith Lossett.
	Well, we're not all about politics.
	We're about all kinds of stuff.
	Yeah, that's true.
	We talk about all kinds of things, including Linda Lou Patkin, Lakewood, Colorado, and her $200 show donation, which happens every show, and she always requests jobs, Karma, and makes the comment worried about AI.
	For a resume that gets results and tells your unique story and highlights the value you bring, go to imagemakersinc dot com, that's imagemakersinc with a K, and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs, and writer of winning resumes.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	And our last executive producer is Gordon Schroeder.
	We have no location for Gordon.
	We have no note for Gordon.
	Well, that means we have one thing for Gordon, which is a double up karma.
	Thank you for your courage.
	You've got double up karma.
	And that concludes our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1792.
	You know how it works.
	These are real Hollywood style credits.
	It's like an Article 5 style security guarantee.
	And you can use that anywhere that credits are, especially Hollywood credits are accepted.
	You can go to immdb.com.
	you can put on your LinkedIn all kinds of fun stuff you can do with it.
	And you can always say that you are an executive or associate executive producer of the No Agenda Show episode 1792.

	And if you want, you can become a sustaining donor by setting up a recurring donation, any amount, any frequency, noagendadonations.com can come.
	Congratulations to these executive and associate executive producers.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Real World Order.
	Shut up, Slay.
	A little bit of a...
	Since this is up from Washington State.
	Two months ago, I don't know if you caught this news or maybe Mimi heard about it and told you.
	The first hybrid electric ferry is about to rejoin the fleet.
	After nearly two years out of the water, the ferry Wenatchee is undergoing sea trials.
	Vigor Marine says the historic conversion is complete.
	They swapped diesel generators out for batteries and installed a new propulsion system.
	The Wenatchee will rejoin the Seattle Bainbridge run and welcome back passengers once sea trials are complete.
	All right, so we've got a battery-powered ferry.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	Two months later, Washington State Ferries has pulled its newly renovated hybrid electric ferry from service less than one month since the big renovation.
	We're told the Wenatchee had a mechanical problem yesterday while docking at Coleman Dock.
	It's not clear exactly what that issue was or how long it will be out of service.
	The Wenatchee was added to the Seattle Bainbridge route in July after its conversion to hybrid electric power.
	Yeah, of course.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	Battery powered ferries.
	That's just not a good idea, people.
	You put especially those explosive batteries in the water.
	In the water environment.
	That's a smart move.
	Yeah, what if it's such a bad idea.
	You know, there was Peter Thiel, we talked about him earlier, co-founder.
	He's from the PayPal Mafia.
	And of course, fund of killing machines like Palantir, which, although we have a lot of testimony to the contrary, people believe that Palantir runs the world and is tracking your every move.
	They certainly have been successful at some government contracts and very unsuccessful at targeting terrorists in Palestine because they killed a lot of the wrong people, but that doesn't matter because Peter Thiel is a force to be reckoned with.
	And the New York Times interviewed him about a month ago, and I paid no attention to what I saw it come by my feed but the guy is so annoying to listen to because he's like sam altman yeah it seems that the entire paypal mafia talks like musk is the same way But Altman wasn't part of the PayPal Mafia, wasn't he?
	No, I know, but this seems like the PayPal Mafia all talks that way.
	I think it's a Silicon Valley thing.
	It could be a million thing.
	Just to sound interesting.
	I'm deep in thought about it.
	And he is a transhumanist as you will hear in a moment.
	He's trans?
	Well, he's gay.
	And you remember his boyfriend fell off the balcony and died in Miami a year ago.
	Yeah, it was kind of a bad, bad vibe.
	You know, fell off the balcony.
	But he's the New York Times guy sits down with him and he starts asking him about transhumanism.
	approaches it from a very innocuous way really about do you think the human race should survive or do you think that your machine should run everything and it took an unexpected turn.
	You would prefer the human race to endure, right?
	You're hesitating.
	Well, I and I should mention, I cut out a lot of the five second pauses.
	You would prefer the human race.
	We both like to brag about our editing skills.
	It doesn't take a lot of skill because you look at the web.
	It doesn't take a lot of skill to see why.
	Look at all this white space.
	Just cut it out.
	You would prefer the human race to endure, right?
	You're hesitating.
	Well, I Yes?
	I don't know.
	I I would.
	This is a long hesitation.
	There's so many questions in play.
	the human race survive uh yes okay but uh i i also would um i i also would like us to to radically solve these problems right and uh and so you know it's always i don't know um you know yeah transhumanism is this you know the ideal was this radical transformation where your human natural body gets transformed into an immortal body.
	And there's a critique of, let's say, the trans people in a sexual context or, I don't know, transvestite.
	is someone who changes their clothes and cross dresses.
	and a transsexual is someone where you change your penis into a vagina and we can then debate how well those surgeries work but we want more transformation.
	Yeah, you should have debated that.
	How well do those surgeries work, Peter?
	Where you change your penis into a vagina and we can then debate how well those surgeries work.
	But we want more transformation than that.
	The critique is not that it's weird and unnatural.
	It's, man, it's so pathetically little.
	And okay, we want more than cross-dressing or changing your sex organs.
	We want you to be able to change your heart and change your mind and change your whole body.
	And then Orthodox Christianity, by the way, the critique Orthodox Christianity has of this is these things don't go far enough.
	Like that transhumanism is just changing your body, but you also need to transform your soul and you need to transform your whole self.
	What?
	I must alert Pastor Jimmy.
	He's not going far enough.
	We need to transform our bodies.
	You can imagine this got my attention.
	And let's dive in, shall we?
	I generally agree with your what I think is your beliefs.
	He agrees with his beliefs.
	Yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is the New York Times.
	That religion should be a friend to science and ideas of scientific progress.
	I think any idea of divine providence has to encompass the fact that we have progressed and achieved and done things that would have been unimaginable.
	Okay, stop right there.
	This is great.
	First of all, interviewers should not be agreeing.
	Well, not agreeing or disagreeing, but this guy's gone beyond agreeing and disagreeing.
	He is now expressing himself.
	Yes.
	Yes, he's he's from the Sparkle clergy.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We came to listen to Peter Thiel and his what he thinks, not with some, what some reporter from the New York Times who's, you know, made a mess of his life or he wouldn't be there for at his age.
	Yeah.
	We don't care what you think.
	Well, this guy, I think, is a member of the Sparkle clergy because he's like, oh yeah, no, I agree.
	Yeah.
	Anything that we do is God's I plan.
	And Providence has to encompass the fact that we have progressed and achieved and done things that would have been unimaginable to our ancestors, but it still also seems like, yeah, the promise of Christianity in the end is you get the perfected body and the perfected soul.
	Oh, shut up.
	He's laying out his Bible smack, man.
	Let him go.
	What you hear Thiel say is better.
	This guy's just there.
	The promise of Christianity in the end is you get the perfected body and the perfected soul through God's grace, and the person who tries to do it on their own with a bunch of machines is likely to end up as a dystopian character.
	In hell.
	Well, it's a articulate this.
	You can have a heretical form of Christianity.
	Right.
	That says clearly.
	I don't know.
	I think the word nature doesn't occur once in the Old Testament.
	Okay.
	The word nature doesn't appear once in the Old Testament.
	Okay.
	I guess you could call creation, heavens and earth, the world.
	If you don't want to call it nature, okay.
	That's a point of discussion.
	But I think there's a New Testament where it appears quite a bit.
	Especially the term against nature.
	I think the word nature does not occur once in the Old Testament.
	And so, you know, if you, you know, and there is, you know, there is a word in which, a sense in which the way I understand, you know, the, you know, the Judeo-Christian inspiration is, it is, it is, It is about transcending nature.
	He's almost done.
	The way I understand, you know, the...
	And that's true.
	But, you know, there's some ways that, you know, with God's help, you are supposed to transcend that and overcome that.
	Well, I now link arms with the Peter Thiel haters of the world.
	This guy is a ghoul.
	He's a complete, all of his government contracts should be ripped up.
	What an idiot.
	And the New York Times guy is not much better.
	No, the New York Times guy's worse.
	Yeah.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, sure.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Well, nice interpretation, Peter Thiel.
	Well, that was a trip down nowhere.
	Well, I thought it was quite interesting personally.
	Let's go to what Tulsi Gabbard's up to.
	Yeah, she's doing a couple of things, isn't she?
	I think she has to be the intelligence communities, at least the bad actors in the intelligence community.
	You gotta be worried.
	Worst nightmare.
	Yes.
	Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard announces today that she's cutting her department by more than 40% to quote, root out deep state actors.
	She says the move will make the department more efficient and save taxpayers north of $700 million per year.
	The news comes just after she wrote security clearances for 37 intelligence officials, accusing them of politically weaponizing intelligence.
	NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has more.
	Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard strips security clearances from 37 current and former intelligence officials.
	She also terminated any government employment or contracts for them.
	Gabbard said that she's doing this at the direction of President Trump and she didn't disclose any specific acts that led to the losses of clearance for each person, but said that more generally., they were part of a political weaponization of the intelligence community, leaking classified information and bypassing normal procedures, particularly in creating a false intelligence report that accused Trump of colluding with Russia in the 2016 election.
	They were not happy with the outcome of that election, and so they created this politicized, weaponized piece of fake intelligence that they aided and abetted in this action, this seditious conspiracy that undermined our democracy, undermined our republic.
	These are bad actors that have to be rooted out.
	Yeah, I think this is pretty good what she's doing here.
	And I think that's why she was hired, was to do this stuff.
	I think so.
	She has a bad attitude.
	She's not going to put up with anything.
	Well, bad attitude.
	She's not like a bureaucrat that's in it just for the, you know, so she can pick up a, pick up a retirement check.
	Income.
	No, no, she's Yeah.
	I'm kind of liking this Tulsi business.
	And it's still not being picked up by, I'm sorry, it's still not being picked up by the mainstream.
	You know, they still keep bringing out people like Susan Rice and they bring out these other people and people I know around here, the Democrats around here that I know that, I don't care what they say.
	Yeah, that's California.
	In announcing the move on X, she said that a security clearance is a privilege, not a right.
	Those who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests before the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold.
	Those who lost their security clearances can no longer access classified facilities and information.
	Back in July, Gabbard said that the intelligence community did assess that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, Russia was trying to interfere in the U.S. presidential election by sowing discord and chaos, but repeatedly stating that Russia didn't appear to have a preference for either candidate and viewed both equally bad for Russia's interest.
	She then said that in December 2016, then President Obama called for another intelligence assessment to contradict it and claim that Russia did interfere in Trump's favor.
	There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.
	But Gabbard said that they used substandard intelligence, bypassing normal procedures, and used the steel dossier as a source for the newer assessment the steel dossier is now widely considered to have been discredited weren't they supposed to start the depositions on the 19th I mean do we even know if that started at all you know nothing's going to come of any of this except the people that lost their security clearances are probably going to have to go find work someplace Else,
	you know, who knows where.
	And that's going to be all that's going to happen.
	The Republicans are not vindictive enough to actually take action.
	No, they're not.
	And by the way, the CIA, and you know, an old report has resurfaced, and I put it in the show notes, 1957, a 200-page report proposing that American special forces should secretly infiltrate Ukraine, spark uprising, and destabilize the Soviet Union from within.
	This has been a plan by the CIA and Western.
	It was actually, they did it with the Brits.
	And there was an update to this plan in 2014.
	I mean, come on, it's so obvious.
	The outrage should be that we started all this nonsense in Ukraine.
	We don't...
	They just can't.
	They're not working for the people.
	Unlike us.
	We work for you.
	We work for the people.
	We do.
	We work for the people.
	NPR did have a, I think I have a 56 seconds.
	NPR had this story.
	President Trump's chief spy, Tulsi Gabbard says she'll cut her agency's budget by over forty percent by the end of 2025.
	Is she the chief spy?
	Is that really?
	Is technically?
	Technically?
	NPR's Jenna McGaughlin is a spy.
	You know, that's the thing.
	She's not a spy in the sense of what a spy is.
	But it sounds true.
	She is a bureaucrat.
	Yes.
	That heads up all the spies and analysts.
	She's the chief spy.
	NPR's Jenna McGaughlin reports.
	Career intelligence officials say their mission is to speak the truth to power.
	However, the former Democratic lawmaker turned head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
	Wait a minute.
	Since when is that their job?
	Let's listen to that again.
	2025.
	NPR's Jenna McLaughlin reports.
	Career intelligence officials say their mission is to speak truth to power.
	That's bullcrap.
	That's not their mission.
	To speak truth to power is to subvert other powers, other nations and other leaders.
	That's not their mission.
	However, the former Democratic lawmaker turned head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, has expressed her commitment to aligning the agency with President Trump's policy goals.
	The ODNI was created after the September 11 terrorist attacks to foster intelligence sharing between U.S. government agencies.
	Gabbard says she'll slash the agency's costs by over 40% by the end of September, though she didn't identify specific cuts.
	In a statement, the Democratic Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner of Virginia, says he would welcome the chance to review Gabbard's plans, but expresses concern, arguing Gabbard has a track record of politicizing intelligence.
	And you're listening to NPR.
	What?
	What?
	What track record?
	Let's listen again.
	Welcome the chance to review Gabbard's plans, but expresses concern, arguing Gabbard has a track record of politicizing intelligence.
	And you're listening to NPR.
	A track record, I tell you.
	What track record?
	She just got this job recently.
	She's been in office six months.
	A track record assumes you've been doing something for years and years.
	Track record.
	When you use it in a political sense, when you say track record.
	Track record.
	I'm telling you.
	Track record.
	Well, NPR, just since you mentioned this bullcrap about truth to power, play this little clip.
	This is an off-the-wall clip.
	This is the science clip I have here.
	Where is it?
	It says, this is NPR.
	Now, I don't know if you can define science.
	You can ask the robot there, your buddy.
	I'm not going to.
	To define science.
	But listen to the definition of science.
	From NPR.
	Science, mind you.
	Science, science, science.
	Science.
	Shortwave thinks of science as an invisible force showing up in your everyday life.
	Wait, start it over.
	Okay, here we go.
	Shortwave thinks of science as an invisible force.
	Showing up in your everyday life.
	Powering the the food you eat, the medicine you use, the tech in your pocket.
	Science is approachable because it's already part of your life.
	Come explore these connections on the Shortwave podcast from NPR.
	So what exactly did they just say?
	They said science is a force.
	A force?
	Some sort of force that some sort of force.
	I'm going to read a definition of science.
	It's like the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.
	That's it.
	That's what science is.
	It's not a force.
	It's a force.
	It's a force to be reckoned with.
	Shut up already.
	It's science.
	It's science, yes.
	Well, let's talk to NPR promoting the idea of science.
	This way you believe the science.
	Believe the force, Luke.
	Believe the force.
	Well, let's talk about some science for a moment with Dr. Selene Gounder.
	In your health, there's news tonight that the maker of Ozempic is cutting the price nearly in half for some patients.
	A company had already cut the price of Wigovi, a similar medication approved for weight loss.
	Dr. Selene Gounder is here with more on the emerging price competition over these drugs.
	So what is driving this price war, Dr. John?
	The race is on.
	Novo Nordisk has dominated early on with their drugs Ozempic and Wagovi, but now Eli Lilly with their drugs Manjaro and Zepbound are catching up fast thanks to lower prices and strong supply.
	So it's really about Novo Nordisk trying to regain, take back market share.
	Specifically, Novo has said this is targeted at patients with type 2 diabetes who don't have insurance.
	Now, I don't know how many patients don't have insurance who can afford $500 a month, but that is the target audience.
	Yeah, well, we know that it's not about that.
	We know that you're being paid to shill for weight loss drugs.
	So, and are they competing just on price or is there anything else they compete on?
	Well, they also compete on effectiveness.
	So there was a head-to-head study published in the New England Journal of Medicine looking at these two companies' drugs head-to-head over 72 weeks.
	People on the Lilly drug lost about 20% of their body weight compared to 14% body weight lost with those on the Novonordis drug.
	So there is a difference there and the degree of improvement in blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol was commensurate with, proportional to the amount of weight lost.
	And we have a new side effect of these drugs.
	Oh, I saw this.
	A new side effect known as ozempic.
	vulva.
	Oh, I don't know about that.
	I talked, you know, I was thinking the positive things going on.
	Well, I'll tell you about this.
	The Ozempic vulva is sagging caused by loose labia, loose skin in the vaginal area, wrinkles, or some combination of all three, if you're lucky.
	Dude.
	Oh, God.
	Dude.
	You had positive news from them.
	You had positive.
	Yeah, it's apparently a cure for baldness.
	Oh, well, well, good news, ladies.
	You won't go bald.
	Bad news.
	Bad news, you'll be dragging on the ground.
	We have an update.
	Of course, we need to discredit our health and human services secretary and everybody that he's hired.
	Back to school often means making sure your child is up to date on vaccinations.
	That's what it means.
	Just remember, back to school means get your shots.
	Back to school means, yeah.
	It used to mean back to school suddenly means get vaxed.
	It used to mean, you know, like get your books.
	You gotta put covers on your books.
	You gotta get your race shoes.
	No, no, no, not anymore.
	Not backpacks.
	Back to school means getting back.
	Get vaccinated.
	Back to school.
	And why are we going back to school?
	I'm sorry we're going back to school so soon, but I that's another topic.
	Back to school season often means making sure your child is up to date on vaccinations, a step most schools require before students can attend.
	In the past, parents could rely on a single authoritative schedule for their No longer.
	This year, the American Academy of Pediatrics has released its own vaccine schedule, and it's different from the government's.
	CBS News medical contributor, Dr. Selene Gounder is here to explain.
	Dr. Gounder, explain.
	What is this?
	Oh, oh yeah, here is it.
	So he's laugh-telling because, you know, he's like, the stupid RFK Jr.
	I mean, we can't trust them anymore.
	So what are we going to do?
	Dr. Counter, explain.
	What is this discrepancy here?
	Yeah, so for the first time in decades, pediatricians are putting out their own schedule because they no longer trust the government.
	Stop the clip.
	Stop in the clip.
	Because I can, I'm going to predict the direction of this clip.
	Surely you just, Mr. Dvorak.
	She's going to go on with her assertion.
	And then Dickerson, who is an old pro, knows what he's doing, is a top journalist is going to say, well, isn't it true that the pediatricians have a conflict of interest because they're paid direct money, direct cash money to make sure all their patients have all these vaccinations and it's a big, huge bonus and part of their income, it's very important to them.
	So they're conflicted.
	Don't you agree with that, doctor Gounder?
	Let's see if you're right.
	Yeah, so for the first time in decades, pediatricians are putting out their own schedule because they no longer trust the government's process.
	So the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee, folks may remember, was recently overhauled.
	All members were dismissed and almost everyone who replaced those experts is someone who has spread disinformation about vaccines or has expressed vaccine skepticism.
	This has never happened under a previous Democratic or Republican administration that the process would be politicized in this way.
	And so the American Academy of Pediatrics is saying, look, we want to stick to the science.
	We don't want a politicized process.
	So now all of a sudden we have to stick to that science, but from the very same people who have given your kids Ritalin, who have told your kids that, you know, they've told you, well, it's been better to have a daughter who's alive or son who's alive than a daughter who's dead.
	The very same people.
	The Academy.
	Oh, I want to thank the Academy.
	Oh, but what's a parent to do, doctor?
	So if I'm a parent and I want to know what to do.
	Stop.
	They didn't ask the question that I surmised.
	No, funny.
	You didn't ask a probing question, a valid question that would actually make some sense and educate the public that they're trying to serve?
	Or are you...
	This is serving the advertiser.
	What is a parent to do?
	Don't do your own research.
	Yeah, so the main area where the American Academy of Pediatrics diverges so far with the CDC, the CDC is no longer recommending routine COVID vaccinations for healthy children.
	Pediatricians, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, strongly disagree with that.
	And they are saying that all infants between the ages of six months and two years should be receiving a COVID vaccine.
	The bottom line is that the risk in infants is quite high and the first encounter with COVID should be with the vaccine and not the virus.
	Duh.
	What is it?
	You kidding me?
	Listen to that ending again.
	That's very interesting what she says here.
	Hold on.
	Bottom line is that the risk in infants is quite high and their first encounter with COVID should be with the vaccine and not the virus.
	Their first encounter with COVID should be with the vaccine.
	What does the vaccine give you COVID?
	Yeah, well, duh.
	But more importantly, why doesn't he ask her to clarify when she says, which we know not to be true, that the risk.
	for infants and children is high for catching COVID.
	Why doesn't he say, John Dickerson says, what exactly is the risk?
	How many times are you going to pose this question pretending that you don't know this is a bought and paid for advertisement?
	We know this, this is obvious.
	He's not a journalist, he's a pitch man and they did the same segment that was the evening news, they did it on the morning show in this morning's Health Watch.
	As kids are going back to school, there's new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommending that children from six months to two years old get a COVID shot.
	Now, this contradicts the Centers for Disease Control under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which does not recommend COVID shots for any healthy children.
	CBS News medical contributor, Dr. Selene Gounder, is editor at large for public health at KFF Health News, and she joins me now.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	Okay.
	So why has the American Academy of Pediatrics made this recommendation?
	I think it's important to note that even before the American Academy of Pediatrics made this recommendation, there was a group brought together called the Vaccine Integrity Project, which includes some of the nation's top experts in vaccine science, as well as representatives from the professional medical societies.
	They combed through all of the evidence since the last CDC review of vaccines to bring their recommendationsations up to date.
	And that review is what informs the American Academy of Pediatrics' newest recommendations.
	And that affirms that the vaccines are safe and effective.
	Oh!
	Children or infants really between the ages.
	You're talking about the fee schedule?
	Yes, it's safe and effective and profitable.
	Six months and two years are those at highest risk of complications from COVID, whether that's hospitalization, ICU.
	Because they have smaller airways, their immune systems are not fully developed.
	And by the way, under two, we may not even know if they have immunocompromising or other underlying medical conditions that put them at risk.
	That's right.
	Jab.
	If they're under two, jab them up.
	And the same script comes out again.
	Okay.
	So parents are stuck in the middle because this guidance conflicts with the CDC's advice.
	What are you to do as a parent?
	What am I going to do?
	I'm not vaccinating.
	I'm so confused.
	You've confused me, CBS people.
	I'm children against COVID.
	So who should parents listen to?
	The science.
	I mean, look, the American Academy of Pediatrics represents over 67,000 pediatricians across the country.
	These are the people who actually see these children every day and cash the checks.
	Unfortunately, the federal guidance has now been shaped by politics and ideology.
	Some people will try to keep it.
	Wow, wow, lady, wow.
	Politics and ideology.
	What's the ideology here?
	What's the ideology?
	This is, these people are not serving the public.
	You pointed it out.
	And they will say that high quality studies are flawed.
	They will call for gold standard science, which is in reality garbage science.
	And they will say that this is about putting commercial interests ahead of public health.
	When in fact, this is wow.
	This is putting commercial interests ahead of public health.
	Yes, exactly what you're doing.
	And they will say that this is about putting commercial interests ahead of public health.
	When in fact, this is the first-Stop, stop, stop, stop.
	What specifically, I'm sure this guy will ask, but what specifically, what specifically are the commercial interests that she's talking about that they're putting ahead of public health?
	Who is profiting from, what commercial interests is profiting?
	profiting from not giving a kid a COVID shot.
	Well, if you listen to this, she's saying that they are saying, i.e.
	RFK junior, the way I understood it, RFK junior is saying, you're putting commercial interests ahead of health.
	And that would be twofold.
	One, the doctors who are giving the shot.
	She said that they're that the RFK position.
	Let's listen.
	They will call for gold standard science, which is in reality garbage science.
	And they will say that this is about putting commercial interests ahead of public health.
	They will say that this is about putting commercial interests ahead of public health.
	The commercial interests are the commercial shot guys.
	The shot and Celine Gowner with her advertisement.
	for Big Pharma right here on CBS.
	When in fact, this is the first administration, Republican or Democratic, to have politicized vaccine recommendations in this way ever.
	Politicized, politicized.
	So what's the polit I don't get the politics part.
	Well, she's politicizing it.
	This is all what you say by yourself.
	And there was a third bit here to this morning segment that I could not resist clipping for us.
	The vaccine advisory committee recently limited use of a preservative called thermosol.
	Yeah, a thymerosol, you dork.
	Thermosol.
	The US has recently limited use of a preservative called thermosol and is now looking at other chemicals in vaccines.
	Why are these part of the vaccine?
	What's their use?
	So thimerosol is a form of mercury.
	Now people hear mercury and they think, Oh, that's dangerous.
	We're talking about a specific form of mercury, ethylmercury, which is not the dangerous form.
	The dangerous form is methylmercury with a M, so MM.
	And routine childhood vaccines have actually been thimerosol free for years now, so it's not really even a problem.
	Now, what do you think she'll say next?
	What do you think she'll say next?
	By the way, the methylmercury.
	I have some quibbles about that.
	Any mercury salt is bad.
	Please, quibble away.
	I want to hear ethylmercury versus ethylmercury.
	Ethylmercury, yeah, it's a bad actor, but any mercury salt, elemental mercury is not bad necessarily unless it can be metabolized in some way, but it generally can't.
	But any salts, the salts are the things that the body can absorb and cause poisoning.
	And what is the thimerosol used for?
	It's used for preservatives.
	Preservatives.
	Yes.
	Preservatives.
	But now wait for it.
	So big picture, if you're going to worry about methylmercury, worry about broken thermometers and those skin lightning creams, not about the vaccines.
	Now, aluminum is another one Kennedy has also been concerned about.
	Aluminum nudges the immune system so that you get a longer lasting, more robust immune response with fewer doses.
	So that's a bonus, and there's no evidence that it's harmful.
	No evidence.
	Aluminum, do you think that's a good thing to have in your vaccines?
	No.
	I don't, and they use it, what she didn't say is it's an adjuvant.
	Yeah, she didn't use the term.
	It kind of tickles your immune system, you know, to get you going.
	Yeah, because it's toxic.
	Yes, that's exactly why.
	Why?
	These people, oh man, oh man, oh man.
	Well, you can talk all your way.
	You're blue in the face.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to NoAgenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that would be fab.
	NoAgenda in the morning.
	Well, even though we don't have their actual names, Ben, we hope to have them very soon and we'll gladly go back and proclaim them properly as Secretary Generals.
	We do have a couple of those coming up, thanks to the donors from today.

	Yeah, it does.
	I've had other people suggest this.
	Do we want to do that?
	We'll talk about it.
	I'm thinking no, but okay, I didn't expect you to say we'll talk about it.
	All right.
	Onward.

	You're going to hear the best podcast in the universe.
	Now I would like the back office to take notes.
	We have four Secretaries Generals.
	We do not have their names yet, so I will put together a special Secretary General award ceremony, music and effects, et cetera, and we will come back to Steve Miller, Peter Fantino, Skylar Firestone, and Sir Ahab.
	They might not have even known that they were eligible for a Secretary General because it is $500.
	They came in with $500 or more, so we will let you know, or you let us know, and we will see.
	Secretary generalized them post post the actual event.
	Does that sound right?
	I guess so.
	It's going to be fun.
	I think we'll have some really John Dickerson couldn't do better.
	I think we'll have some very funny names to be congratulated.
	Too lights ready to go.
	If you got your blade, we'll bring them up on the podium.
	Yeah, right here.

	Bum, bum, bum.
	You're to be where you want me.
	Triggered or hell lame.
	You want to be where everybody knows you're gay.
	It's like a party.
	Now, before we get to John's tip of the day, we always like to show you how the sausage is made in Media Land.
	And we're going to do a little production meeting here and we're going to select the end of show ISO.
	I actually have a lot of ISOs for today.
	So I'm going to roll through all of them.
	And then we'll, do you have an ISO at all?
	I have two that are probably, if you have a lot, you'll probably have a killer.
	Okay, let's see what we have.
	I'm about to lose my mind.
	Okay.
	All right.
	No.
	No, okay, no eject.
	This is not a children's program.
	No, we love the voice.
	Yeah.
	This is not My Little Pony.
	I kinda like that one.
	Authenticity and truth.
	Little, little hollow, but okay.
	These guys are completely natural.
	And here we go with this.
	You know, we we get into it deep.
	And then the final one.
	Everyone pretend podcasting isn't boring.
	And that's what I got.
	So I think we both, I'll keep it up here.
	I think we No, we're just bumping mine to the next show.
	No, we like these.
	This is not My Little Pony.
	I kind of like that one.
	You're bumping yours.
	We have to go with that.
	Okay, well, you've got a lozenge and we're putting your ISOs in abeyance, which means I'm in a lozenge.
	I'm in mode.
	Yeah.
	Time, everybody, for John's tip.
	of the day.
	Great past for you and me Just a tip with JC and sometimes Adam.
	All right.
	For everybody out there, it should be a gardener.
	If they're not, they should have a potted plant somewhere in their garden.
	You should be a gardener or just learn how to code.
	So the tip of the day are terracotta watering spikes.
	You can just Google it.
	Terracotta watering spikes.
	They have them all over the place.
	It's some of them.
	They look like a giant carrot.
	And you fill them with water and they water the plant.
	You put a bottle of water in the top hole and it'll water plants without you having to attend to them.
	In case you're on vacation, you take a week off, you go someplace for the weekend, you have a plant that needs watering.
	This takes care of it.
	It's a very good tip.
	How does it function?
	Well, it turns out that it leaks.
	There's all these different mechanisms for watering plants.
	So what you don't, because most people will get on Amazon and they'll buy some Internet of Things connected watering hose thing you don't want that why do we not want that because what happens if the net goes down what happens if you have your rotary boots it's nonsense just have some simple device a terracotta t-e-r-r-a c-o-t-ta watering spike it's all there's a bunch of people that make them and the ones you want to look like a carrot and
	you can stick a you you soak them first and stick them in the ground and then stick a water bottle in the top filled with water and it'll drain as the as the soil gets dry it'll leak out the water very slowly and keep the plant from dropping dead.
	Huh.
	That is a very good tip.
	I like that.
	That is cool.
	That's an old school analogy.
	How long will it last?
	I mean, how much water do you, I don't know.
	I've never run out of water.
	I don't go out of the house.
	I stay here.
	All right, everybody.
	You can find them all at tipoftheday.net.
	John's tip of the day.
	Great advice for you and me.
	Just a tip with JCD.
	And sometimes Adam.
	Created by Dana Burnetti.
