Adam Curry and Mimi Smith Dvorak dissect a chaotic March 19, 2026 episode featuring an AI impersonation glitch, Trump's unannounced war with Iran, and allegations that British royalty and City of London banks control global grain and oil markets. They analyze Tucker Carlson's CIA referral, the gay Supreme Leader of Iran scandal, and Netanyahu's alleged knowledge of Hamas funding since 2018. Ultimately, the hosts argue that geopolitical conflicts serve elite profit motives while questioning the reliability of traditional alliances and leadership. [Automatically generated summary]
This is your award-winning Give One Nation Media Assassination episode 1852.
This is no agenda.
One more for the Kipper.
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 I'm Mimi Smith Dvorak.
And on a globe, I'm between the 48th and 49th parallel.
It's Craig Blottenburg in the morning.
And it's wet.
You're wet.
You're soaking wet.
We don't even say anything about it.
It's just another day.
Yeah, yeah.
100% humidity.
I didn't even know.
You told me before we started that there was a storm in Hawaii that is now over your domain, your network of the woods.
The start of it, we do get one day that that globe in the sky may appear on Saturday, and then we've got rain forever.
We have rain that's just coming, and it's so slow, and it's going to be lots of inches.
And it's also quite warm.
So that means all the snow that we had was going to melt.
So we'll be flooding too.
So great.
What is the actual appeal of living in Washington State?
It's good for your skin.
Oh, yeah, but so is Pharaoh.life.
You know, it's like that stuff is good for your skin, too.
I don't know if you need to live in Washington State for it.
Oh, it's got beautiful trees.
And yeah, that's it.
Okay.
There you go, everybody.
You've got income tax now.
You've got libtards running around, but you got nice trees.
Yeah, nice trees.
So, not once, but twice this week did JCD call me.
That was quite quite exciting.
The first one was, I think, Tuesday.
He's like, hey, it's Dvorak.
Like, okay, you know, we have a caller ID on these phones, John.
In case you didn't know.
And yeah, I said, well, okay.
Yeah.
Just checking in.
I said, well, are you getting out tomorrow?
I said, yeah, yeah.
He says, it was so sweet.
He says, I'm really sorry.
He keeps apologizing.
Stop apologizing.
No, but I'm really sorry.
You have to do one more show with me, Neep.
Like, wow.
Wow.
That would be John.
Yeah.
And then, and then yesterday, like, I've got salmon in the oven.
Tina was out helping a friend.
So I'm cooking dinner.
And salmon, you kind of keep your eye on it.
And he said, oh, let's test the gear.
Let's test the gear.
I guess he was setting up the famed Nook at Jay's house.
And it was so classic, as if nothing has changed.
So he plugs in, he connects to the clean feed.
And I can clearly hear that it's not the microphone he's talking into.
It's like, something else is on.
NATO Allies and Future Conflicts00:16:24
No, it's not.
I'm talking right into it.
Nothing has changed.
It's the same.
John, I'm telling you, this is, and I can hear myself booming through the speakers.
Like, what, you got speakers?
Yeah, Jay bought me some speakers.
Could you consider headphones for once, just maybe?
And he's like, well, I'll call you back.
Yeah, it turns out there was a webcam still plugged in.
I'm like, told you so.
Oh, yeah, told me so.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, I recorded some of it.
I recorded some of it.
Oh, no.
Yeah, let me play a little bit here.
Here we go.
So, this is what happens when your wife and your work wife get together.
Now, that was from the hospital day that he called me, including this one.
I have to go.
It's time for my sponge bath.
So, that ended the conversation.
And then, parents, cover your kids' ears.
I can't stand one more fucking jello cup.
Pretty good, huh?
Oh, yeah.
That's AI.
We don't need John anymore.
Could you tell?
Could you tell it was not John?
I wasn't listening hard enough.
I'm a wife.
I've been a wife for so long, my ears turn off.
Wow.
I thought that only happened to husbands.
That's good.
That's very good.
So one question.
Well, there's a couple things, but one question that people really would like to know, and you may not want to answer this.
Where does, is Mimi your real name?
No.
No, it's not.
My parents saddled me with the first name is Merri Lee Diane.
I like Merri Lee.
That's a cute name.
No, it's Merri Lee Diane.
Well, I have a middle name as well.
It's hyphenated.
I have a middle name.
And then because when I was a little kid, I could not say it because, you know, what kid can spit out Merrily Diane?
I started calling myself Mimi and everyone could start calling me Mimi from then on.
Huh.
So you don't like Merri Lee.
It has to be Merri Lee Diane, but you don't like them at all, obviously.
My name is Merrily Diane.
Like my mother was naming for some southern bell and she got me.
Well, we all saw the pictures.
Merrily Diane.
My mom had blonde, curly hair and she was just dark brown eyes and I am nothing like my mother.
Welcome to the stage, Merrily Diane.
Put your hands together for Merri Lee Diane.
So for political stuff up here, I decided to use Merri Lee when I first ran because we already had a city council member whose name was Sherry and we had one named Sissy and I thought that it sounded like a bunch of strippers.
Yeah.
So people have been listening to us for the past, what have we done now?
Four shows?
Is this the fifth show?
Is this the fifth?
I think it's the fifth.
No, I think it's just four because we missed that first.
Well, we kind of did an intro on the first one.
And I've loved doing this with you, Mimi.
I really appreciate you jumping in.
I'd say 98% of No Agenda Nation loves that you jumped in.
The 2% are always the a-holes.
So I just fight them on Twitter.
Those are the ones I like the best.
They're the worst.
Like, I couldn't listen.
There was no deconstruction at all.
I usually listen to, yeah, I usually listen two to three times in the episode.
I got to turn it off.
Like, okay, fine.
You know, a little bit of grace, maybe, just a tad.
But the best came from Hollywood Bigwig.
He texted this to me during the Academy Award.
So that means he knows he wasn't watching.
Dana Brunetti.
He says, I am pretty sure that Mimi is indeed a spook.
And he takes it one step further.
He says, I don't think anyone's put it together that she is the anonymous donor, that you are pseudonymous of Dog Patch in Lower Slobovia.
And that's how she communicates with John when she's on assignment.
She doesn't live in Washington.
She's just off on assignment.
Notice there have been no donations from him since she's been on the show.
Okay.
Whatever.
Sure.
I'll take it.
I thought that was pretty good.
I thought it was pretty good.
Our president has been super hilarious the past few days.
This just, I saw this this morning.
He was sitting with the prime minister of Japan.
Okay.
Do you know her name?
I forget what her name is.
Not at all.
And so there's a whole bunch of Japanese journalists.
It's just Japanese on a whole one side of the room.
Let me see if I can get this in.
Oh, he doesn't really.
Here he goes.
You sound in shy.
Go ahead.
Of course, no, Japan and U.S. are a very good friend.
But one question.
Why didn't you tell U.S. allies in Europe and Asia, like Japan, about the war before?
So he says, why didn't you tell U.S. allies like NATO and Europe and Japan before you went to war with Iran?
Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much, you know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.
Who knows better about surprise than Japan?
Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
Dude, dude.
Dude, dude.
Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, huh?
Wow.
Wow, that's great.
That's good.
It's good.
And no sooner had we talked about it on Sunday than the president did exactly what we thought he would do.
I'm going to remind everybody what he did during the State of the Union to screw with the Democrats.
One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe.
So tonight I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle.
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.
The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
It was great how the shot pulled out right away.
Yep.
Isn't that a shame?
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
We talked about this on Sunday, and it came true the next day.
He did exactly the same with NATO.
Said, hey, you guys are going to come and stand up and stand next to us.
And so he was with, gosh, I think it was the Prime Minister of Austria or Ireland.
He was with the Teishach of Ireland.
And he's sitting there in the Oval Office.
And this didn't get as much coverage as I hoped it would have on the mainstream, some choice bits, but he really laid it down.
I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake.
And I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us.
So this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there.
The other thing is, and I think, you know, very important, we didn't have to be there for Ukraine.
You know, Biden chose to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on Ukraine.
And I guess the head of Germany just made a statement that, well, they weren't involved and they have nothing to do with the war.
But at the same time, they think we did a great thing by knocking them out.
Nobody wants to have Iran or anybody, but nobody wants to have Iran with a nuclear, because these people are crazy.
They're absolutely crazy, and they're vicious, violent.
I mean, they killed, think of it.
They killed now, I hear it's about 41,000 people.
They put out a notice two days ago.
Anybody that protests will be immediately shot and killed.
That's pretty tough stuff.
So everyone agrees with us, but they don't want to help.
And we as the United States have to remember that because we think it's pretty shocking.
Yeah, we're going to remember that.
It was a test.
He says it himself.
It was a test.
Test to see if they would stand up.
And naturally, the question that he wanted was planted and came.
Are you rethinking the United States' relationship with NATO possibly getting out?
Well, I'm disappointed in NATO that we spend trillions of dollars on NATO.
Think of it, trillions over the years, many trillions of dollars.
It's one of the reasons we have deficits and we help other countries.
And when they don't help us, I mean, it's certainly something that we should think about.
I don't need Congress for that decision.
As you probably know, I can make that decision myself.
I'd work with some very smart people, and I'd always deal with Congress anyway.
But I don't need Congress for that decision.
But, you know, when you say rethink, I'm not, I have nothing currently in mind, but I will say that I'm not exactly thrilled when we help them with Ukraine.
Look, Ukraine would have been over in one day if we didn't help.
Frankly, Ukraine would have been over in the first day.
They had the best equipment in the world.
It was our equipment given by Salipe Joe Biden.
No charge.
No charge.
Hundreds of billions of dollars of the best equipment in the world.
No charge.
I will say that I'm not happy about it.
No.
So there's your shot across the bar.
I love the trolls.
See Brooklyn 112.
Well, you know what's funny?
High gas prices are funny.
America Fruits.
You know what's funny?
No gas.
I lived through that.
Mimi lived through that too.
No gas.
Yeah.
Because we didn't have the region under control.
Anti-war.
If you're anti-war, you have a very weak stance.
You have nothing left.
Get rid of your iPhone.
The U.S. Navy protects that.
And so who did stand with America is exactly the people who make sure that you have gas at all.
Which countries are joining?
Which countries have?
Well, we've had great support from the Middle East.
Qatar has been great.
UAE has been absolutely been great.
Saudi Arabia has been terrific.
Bahrain has been very good.
The Middle Eastern countries have been very strong in their support.
And of course, Israel has been our partner.
Israel's been very, very strong.
Yes.
So that kind of, yeah.
Meanwhile, there's been a lot of like good old Joe Kent.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
You're going too fast.
Let's get to that.
I'm going too fast.
Okay, let's go.
Yeah, good.
We'll get to Joe Kent in a moment, and then we can have a good laugh about Israel.
So the president then reminds everybody where we were with Iran during the Obama administration.
And he even asked us if we've forgotten about it.
If we didn't do the attack.
Or if I'll go a step further, if I didn't terminate the Iran nuclear deal given to us, one of the worst deals ever made by Barack Hussein Obama.
Remember when they sent Boeing 757s over there?
Loaded with cash.
Cash.
Hundreds of millions of dollars.
He would have been very happy.
This was a wonderful.
They said hundreds of millions.
People forget that.
Does anybody remember?
Right?
You remember?
Hundreds of millions of dollars in a Boeing 757.
I think that two of them loaded.
They took the seats out and they put cash.
And it was so much that there wasn't a bank in Virginia, Maryland, or D.C. that had any money left.
They stripped them of all their money, put it into place, sent it to Iran almost as ransom.
Yeah, almost.
That's not going to happen with Trump.
And nobody ever did anything about it.
Nobody ever said anything about it.
Can you imagine if I did that?
I didn't know that the banks in Virginia and Maryland and D.C. were empty of cash.
That's an interesting detail.
I've never heard before.
I haven't heard that at all.
But, you know, we could have all wished for a plane crash that day.
So we're winding up.
Money from heaven.
Mana, mana from heaven.
So we're winding it up here.
You know, Mr. Trump, Mr. President, you have a day after plan.
It's just a military operation to you.
But do you not have a day after plan?
And if so, what is the day after plan for Iran?
Well, we have a lot.
Look, if we left right now, it would take 10 years for them to rebuild.
But we're not ready to leave yet, but we will be leaving in the near future.
We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future.
But right now, they've been decimated from every standpoint.
And again, we've had great support from countries in the Middle East, great support, but we've had no support from, essentially, no support from NATO.
Yep, Then we actually, I had a thing about NATO.
I'll get you to Joe Kent.
Where is it?
Here we go.
Yeah.
Huh.
I thought I had this here.
Where's my goodness gracious?
Where's my here?
It is.
This is from.
Actually, this is Canada global news, and they bring in all the Europeans on this because clearly the president has no clue, no plan, no idea what he's doing.
The U.S. president sounded so sure about Iran's liberation.
I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand, that the war would be over quickly.
I think you'll see it's going to be a short-term excursion.
But Donald Trump has discovered that Iranian freedom is not at hand.
They don't have guns, and the other ones have guns.
Highly sophisticated machine guns.
It's the small observations that are revealing that the Iranian regime can still threaten the global economy.
Literally, a single terrorist can put something in the water or shoot something or shoot a missile.
Trump said he didn't need NATO's help, then asked for it, didn't get it, then declared he didn't need it and never did.
Incoherent.
I would describe Trump's approach to all of this as strategically incoherent.
This expert on U.S. foreign policy says Trump's objectives have swung from regime change to nuclear disarmament.
He's not even sure who to talk to.
I don't know if they're ready yet.
And we don't even know their leaders.
All of this suggests to me that nobody's on the same page and nobody really knows what the point of the war is or how it's going to end.
NATO allies, recently intimidated by Trump's threats and tariffs, are forcefully resisting him now.
France would never take part, says President Emmanuel McCron on an operation to unlock the Strait of Hormuz.
For many, it all comes back to the same question.
What is Trump's endgame?
We haven't been consulted and we don't really understand what are the objectives of this war.
It's no surprise, say experts, that neither the Allies nor shipping companies want to risk Iranian attacks in the narrow strait.
They can exploit the geography of the Strait of Hormuz and use relatively unsophisticated weapons that are easy to hide and attack shipping almost whenever they want.
So Iran really has the ability to protract this conflict pretty significantly.
So Trump finds himself in a war in which Iran will not surrender and America's usual partners will not take part.
This is what happens when the United States mistreats its allies.
And what we're seeing over the last couple of days is that there's no international appetite to help Donald Trump out of this mess.
Trump's plan to win or end the war still sounds vague.
Iran Conflict and Conspiracy Theories00:14:45
We'll be leaving in the near future.
We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future.
Eric Sorenson, Global News.
Toronto.
I love this.
It's been obvious for over 100 years what is going on.
And Trump is the first president to actually do something about it.
And people who keep saying, oh, we're doing this for Israel.
It's a very illogical, unintelligent take.
To what end?
To what end?
The whole point is the oil.
The oil has been the point since 1906, I think, whenever Churchill changed the British Navy from coal to oil.
And they went in and created the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, later BP.
And everything was hunky-dory.
And everybody was happy until 1953.
Then we, CIA and MI6, went in because they had a republic.
They had democratically elected government.
I'm like, oh, we can't have this.
We need strife and people to be crazy.
And why don't you just take our opium like you did win the deal in the first place?
And the prime minister, what was his name?
Mahouzad or something?
I forget his name.
Yeah.
Well, and he was the one who pushed so that Iran would get a cut.
He was going to nationalize it.
Right.
Yeah.
And they did.
They ended up getting more money, which they had were getting nothing for this oil getting taken from the ground.
Right.
So then we brought in the Shah.
Yeah.
Our boy.
We brought him.
And he kicked Khomeini out.
And then the Islamic Revolution started to happen, which came in 78, 79.
Again, our fingerprints were all over it.
It was a student uprising who, I remember this.
I was old enough to remember.
They got our embassy, had 50 people for over 400 days.
And the CIA was, they had shredded all their documents.
And the students got all the shredded material, took it to school to the school children, say, hey, you like puzzles?
Put this together.
And so they had the proof that we had done all of that.
That's where all this came from.
The students thought that they were going to get freedom and they were going to get their own country and they're going to get elections again.
I mean, they were completely misled.
Oh, well, of course.
Of course they were.
So, yes, they were misled.
And, you know, then the nut jobs came in and it behooved the people who set the oil prices.
The spot market, I believe, is set in London, not in New York or Chicago.
It's set in London.
You know, $5 to $15 of premium per oil for the danger.
That's pure profit right in their pockets.
And it's been that way forever.
And to me, it's so clear.
If you think this is about getting rid of Israel's enemy, no, the Abraham Accords have already got everybody looking in the same direction.
Saudi Arabia is ready to be the tech mecca, the AI mecca.
They're investing trillions of dollars.
So Israel, no, you're stupid.
No, really.
Even, I think I have a clip here.
Even Trump, he was asked about the objectives of the U.S. and Israel.
Are you speaking with Prime Minister Netanyahu?
And are your objectives the same in terms of ending the war?
They might be a little different, I guess.
You know, they're a different country than we are.
Yeah, different country.
Whatever they're doing.
And Heg Seth said effectively the same thing.
Well, I would just state by saying Israel's been a really strong partner in this effort, where they have different objectives.
They've pursued them.
Ultimately, we've stayed focused on ours.
Yeah, there you go.
And we'll get to more of that later after I lead you into Joe Kent.
I was going to say, your director of national counterterrorism, Joe Kent, he just resigned today.
He said he can't support your conflict with Iran.
What's your reaction to that?
Well, I read his statement.
I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security.
I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy.
But when I read a statement, I realized that it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat.
Iran was a threat.
Every country realized what a threat Iran was.
The question is whether or not they wanted to do something about it.
And Kent really had the same old boring take that, oh, well, if you do that, then we'll be distracted and China will take Taiwan.
It hasn't happened.
Right.
And it may.
I don't even know if we care anymore.
It's always so important.
Evidently, he has been a leaker.
So if I love the breaking news, it's 318 breaking news.
We got breaking news.
Just a moment ago, sources are saying that Joe Kent, the former director of the United States National Counterterror Center, this is from Semaphore.
He just resigned.
He's now under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information.
And the investigation predates his departure.
Yeah, I saw this.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
Well, we also have a PBS Liz Landers on Joe Kent.
Okay.
Who's Liz Landers?
She works for PBS?
Yep.
Well, with his background as a Green Beret and a former CIA official, he has with this military and intelligence background, but he really represents sort of the MA portion of this administration who is anti-war.
And that is what we saw today in these comments from him.
He has a close relationship with Tucker Carlson, who we've mentioned previously, has been critical of this war in Iran since it started.
He's also a close ally of Tulsi Gabber, the director of national intelligence.
Ah, you led me right into it.
Perfect.
Which, yep, which, of course, four days ago, Tucker said.
Oh, here we go.
So the other day I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report, the Department of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed.
What's that crime?
Well, talking to people in Iran before the war.
They read my texts.
So the crime under consideration apparently would be the Foreign Agent Act or something like that, acting as an agent of a foreign power.
And I don't expect this to go anywhere.
I'm not too worried about an actual criminal case against me for a bunch of reasons.
One, I'm not an agent of a foreign power.
Unlike a lot of people commenting on U.S. politics and global affairs, I have only one loyalty and that's the United States.
And I'm a podcaster.
I thought that there's no way that's a coincidence.
I think that Tucker was talking to Kent.
Yeah, I thought that too.
With the difference being the FBI has opened an investigation against Kent and Tucker's talking about the CIA.
And I mean, it could just be an elaborate joke.
Or Tucker is just, this is just an elaborate publicity stunt by Tucker.
I wouldn't put it past them, to be fair about it.
So can I go off on my rant?
Yeah, yeah, go for it.
So I was like looking around.
And a funny thing that I found was Tucker is, he likes to be talked about clearly.
And I found a lot of people talking about him.
But what I found the most interesting was Pastor DeMoncy, I think that's how you pronounce it, from Dumontsee, Washington.
I have two parts to it.
So the first one is called Dangerous.
The other one is final.
Within the West, the church itself is being more and more divided on one singular issue: Israel and the Jewish people.
There's lots of doctrinal things, and the church has been fighting for 2,000 years with itself about many, many things.
That's why there's thousands of denominations.
But what we're seeing now more than ever before is that Christians of different ethnicities, different groups, different denominations, Catholic, Protestant, the dividing line seems to be Israel and the Jews.
Israel and the Jews.
Either you believe God's word when it comes to Israel and the Jewish people, or you believe the Tucker Carlsons and the Candace Owens.
And that's really causing a kind of riff right now.
Ooh, right up my alley.
I'll let you finish and then I'll give you my opinion.
Okay, so then there's a final with this pastor, by the way, the founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, and he's in Charlotte, North Carolina.
So let's do the final with him.
It's dangerous because of who he is.
The platform that he has, he's still with TPUSA.
He's still good friends with the vice president of the United States, right?
This is not just some guy on a street corner yelling with a bullhorn.
This guy has access to the highest levels of government in our nation, right?
So, and he's platforms Nick Fuentes, and but he's not getting really any pushback from the people that should be giving him pushback.
This is a very dangerous moment for our nation.
Okay, so I happened to have a conversation with Pastor Jimmy about this yesterday on the We Get to Do This podcast.
I've been tracking this because it is probably the oldest trick in the book, and the Brits love doing it.
And when I say the Brits, you know, MI6, City of London, you know, Wall Street affiliated, they love to use religion to divide people.
And what has cropped up, and it and the catalyst was Charlie Kirk.
That was the catalyst, and that's when we brought in Israel Jews problem, even though it really started October 7th.
But, you know, then we got, that's when we got Candace Owens, we got Tucker, we got Megan Kelly, we got Ben Shapiro, we have Mark Levine, we've got Nick Fuentes.
And the conspiracy theory, which is up my alley, you know, I've looked at many conspiracy theories on the show throughout the years, still don't think we landed on the moon.
But the conspiracy theory is that about 110 years, or about 100 years ago, the Schofield Bible was published.
And the Schofield Bible changed the way American Christians looked at Israel, which had been since the days of Constantine.
So what are we, 300 BC, 300, the year 300?
Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome and effectively the world.
And what Constantine said was Israel is no more.
The church is the new Israel.
And for 1800 years or whatever, you know, this was what it was.
The church is the new Israel.
And that's called replacement theory.
What's the Schofield, and it's really great the way the conspiracy theory goes is, well, you know, this guy he edited the Bible.
It's called the Schofield Bible.
Well, he didn't edit the Bible.
It was a study Bible.
And the study Bible proclaimed dispensationalism, which is very, I find it somewhat convoluted, but there's these, you know, divides world history up into seven stages, and we're now in the church stage.
But there's a third, and so those are the two camps.
The camps are, no, no, and I think a lot of Catholics are in the replay or fulfillment, they would call it, theology.
Like the church is new Israel.
You don't need Israel.
It's fine.
The dispensationalists are very much the, and I think they're ignorant, the Ted Cruzes of the world, probably Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
The president's pastor, Paula White.
You know, they're like 1948.
That was the fulfillment of scripture.
And these people are all hung up on eschatology, the end times.
You know, we're almost there.
You know, it's coming.
Jesus is coming back.
And if you read the Bible, there's, by the way, that definitely reminds me of some of the more ridiculously extreme of the Muslim religions that believe that the only way that Muhammad will come back is if we have an apocalypse.
Oh, yeah.
Armageddon.
Exactly.
Armageddon.
So, but the way I look at it, and I'm a new Christian, so I have the benefit of listening to a lot of different people.
And my pastor, I've been talking about this with him for months.
There's a third way, which is called covenant theology.
And in the Bible, it says black and white, God says this land is for the chosen people.
Now, he doesn't say Benjamin Netanyahu.
He doesn't say the borders as driven in 19 as drawn in 1948.
And we as Gentiles are grafted into the Jewish people.
So that you can believe that Israel belongs to the Jews without having to define it that way and without having to be crazy about it.
You don't have to be nuts because you can just read the words that God said.
So evidently Tucker mistook something that someone said in Israel.
So when Palestine was having all the issues, all the Christians moved.
They left.
They went to other parts of the world.
They went to Israel.
And Tucker thought that it meant that there was ethnic cleansing of Christians.
He completely misunderstood, but that's because he is not, I don't think he has any religious background at all.
So I would love to go into this thing.
I've got Chuckler Carlson's spirituality, and this is a movie called Christianities by Holy Wisdom Films by John Hears.
And they have a sneak peek that features Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson Spiritual Warfare Movie00:14:19
So let's do part one.
Do you think the presence of evil is kick-starting people to wonder about the goods?
That's what happened to me.
That's what happened to you?
Oh, yeah.
I had a direct experience with it.
In the milieu of journalism or just in my bed at night, and I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled.
Physically mauled.
In a spiritual attack by a demon.
Hold on.
Well, it was with the nat pop of the dogs.
I couldn't get it out.
I tried.
Right, no, that's perfect.
That's perfect.
I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled.
Physically mauled.
In a spiritual attack by a demon?
Yeah.
By a demon.
Or by something unseen that left claw marks on my sides on my physical marks.
Oh, they're still there.
Yeah, yeah.
A year and a half ago.
Was your wife terrified?
I know you were.
I wasn't.
I was totally confused.
I woke up and I couldn't breathe and I thought I was going to suffocate.
And I walked around outside.
And then I walked in and my wife and dogs had not woken up and they're very light sleepers.
And then I had these terrible pains on my rib cage and on my shoulder.
And I was just in my boxer shorts and I went and flipped on the light in the bathroom and I had four claw marks on either side underneath my arms and on my left shoulder.
And they're bleeding.
Wait, they were bleeding.
They were bleeding, yeah.
No, no, actual claw marks.
And I sleep on my side, so I wasn't clawing myself.
I don't have long nails.
And they didn't fit my hands anyway.
But yeah, that happened.
So I'm not from a world where things like that happen.
I never heard of anything like that happening before.
I had no idea what that was.
I knew it was spiritual immediately.
Okay.
I've heard, I think he told, I think he mentioned a version of this on Joe Rogan.
I think he might have to do it.
Maybe, but let's go to part two and then three.
They're both short.
Not from a, what do they call it, faith tradition that talks about things like that or even acknowledges their existence.
Like there's nothing like that.
I've never heard anybody say anything like that in my whole life.
What was the next day like?
Well, the next morning I woke up and I thought that was the weirdest dream I've ever had.
And then I saw blood on my sheets and I realized that was not a dream at all.
So I called my assistant, who was like the only evangelical Christian I know, you know, well enough to call something bizarre like that, totally bizarre like that.
And she said, oh, yeah, no, no, no, that happens.
Yeah, people are attacked in their bed by demons.
What?
Wow.
Yes.
Which is nonsense because he's Episcopal and they do talk about it.
So let's go to three.
And I'm not pretending to understand that.
I can only say what happened to me and that did happen to me.
And then I was seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible, which I then started without any study aids or anything.
I bought a Bible that didn't have any.
I'm not interested in editorializing in the Bible.
I just want to read it and see what's in there myself.
I have very low levels of trust for Christian pastors, most of whom, you know, I'm just not a fan at all.
So right there, when he's, there's no reason for him to say, I don't need to study Bible.
I think he was set up or he's being set up or he did this purposely to bring in the Schofield Bible conspiracy.
Maybe, or maybe, since it's common across religions that there are fallen angels and symbolic monsters, entities associated with destruction, ethical lapses and spiritual struggle for human souls.
I wonder why did he go back to bed?
Maybe he popped a zen and was doing just fine.
I don't know.
Well, yes.
But not seeking out really, I mean, I'm sorry, if I, during the night, if I suddenly woke up after being visited by a beast, I would certainly seek out guidance.
I wouldn't just reject it all.
And everything that he said since this about the Bible, he is completely wrong.
He attributes stuff to Moses that Moses didn't do.
It's amazing how much he's twisting the words.
Oh, well, if you listen to the podcast with Pastor Jimmy, I mean, he's saying crazy stuff.
And I just need to reiterate that, yes, 1948 came from the Balfour Declaration, I think, 1917.
And it was the Britain, Britain created Israel.
They created all the, hey, they had the Pico-Sykes agreement.
Britain and France, they just drew lines on a napkin.
And we'll call that Iraq, Iran.
We'll call that Syria, Jordan.
And then later, we're going to put Israel here.
It's going to be fantastic.
And people say, well, that was created by Zionists.
Yeah, it was created by the British.
And the whole idea was to have the Jews there to be on both sides of the, you know, on the Sinai to keep Egypt in check.
And what was Britain doing?
They were funding the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
This has always been about protecting the waterways and the oil.
And unfortunately, I find it unfortunate.
We do have a lot of politicians, Christians, who are, they're so deeply entrenched into the fulfilling of biblical prophecy of Israel that, yeah, they definitely feel that, oh, we have to protect Israel at all costs.
I don't think Trump is one of them.
I really, he's pragmatic.
He'd even say, you know, the prayer breakfast is, I don't think I'm going to heaven.
I don't think I, I don't think I belong there.
Because he is about profit.
He is about making America wealthy and prosperous again.
And so, yes, there are definitely, definitely politicians who are all in on the dispensationalism, all in on Israel being the fulfillment of prophecy.
But I don't think that's why Trump is doing this.
And I also don't think that Israel has blackmailed him.
I mean, so Tucker is good friends with Joe Kent.
So we get Tucker being investigated by the CIA, Kent investigated by the FBI.
Kent resigns.
He says two things.
He says Iran posed no threat.
And he said, well, you know, Israel is the one that dragged us into it.
And he shows up on Tucker's show yesterday.
Because the attacks on him have prevented an honest conversation about what he's actually saying.
And what he's saying is, and he says it clearly, and we're going to ask you about it directly in just a moment.
Israel got us into this war.
Its lobby in the United States pressured the president and its prime minister in Israel told the president, we're going without you.
Join us, because if you don't, your troops in the region, your interests in the region, your citizens in the region will all be at risk.
You have no choice.
They led the way.
That's Joe Kent's position.
And rather than push back against that and say, no, actually, he's wrong, they're telling you to shut up.
And why are they doing that?
Well, there's only one reason people ever become hysterical and slanderous, start screaming at you rather than answering you is because they're lying.
Oh, yes, of course.
Of course, because they're lying.
So he gets Kent on.
And I'm glad that we talked about Rubio and his statement, which was so overtly clear what he was trying to communicate.
And after I talked to former JAG military lawyer, Rob, the constitutional lawyer, he agreed.
So it's not just me.
He agreed that this was a brilliant move because they filed with the United Nations under Section 51.
They filed that they were protecting the interests of the United States after Israel attacked Iran because they did not want Congress blocking anything that they're doing.
You notice you don't hear about the war powers resolution anymore because it doesn't apply because the lawyers know that the paperwork has filed and Rubio had to, he, in essence, was providing cover.
And exactly as I thought, as exactly as people were, you know, spiking the ball in the end zone, Tucker and Kent use this Rubio speech as clear proof that Israel dragged us into this.
And I see you weak trolls saying the same thing in the troll room.
I think it's important to stop and say, here's what we actually know.
So I'd like now, if we could, just to play one of the statements that you alluded to, and that's from Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State.
And this was shortly after this war commenced.
And he was explaining, as is his habit, in a thoughtful, precise way, why.
Here's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
And so the president made the very wise decision.
We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action.
We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces.
And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher than those killed.
And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that in the end.
Okay, so that is his almost contemporaneous explanation, and it's not offhand.
He reasons it out.
He explains there's a logic chain there, and he says, we knew not that Iran was going to attack.
He did not say that.
He said we knew that Israel was going to attack Iran, and in retaliation for those attacks by Israel against Iran, Iran might attack American forces.
So the imminent threat that the Secretary of State is describing is not from Iran.
It's from Israel.
Exactly.
And I think this speaks to the broader issue, who is in charge of our policy in the Middle East, who's in charge of when we decide to go to war or not.
In this case, with what the Secretary described and later on, the President, later on, Speaker of the House, and the way the events played out, the Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events, meaning the Iranians would retaliate.
It's so unbelievable to me.
If it was truly Israel, I can see people say, oh, he's got a Zionist gun pointed at his head.
That's why he's doing it.
The guy got shot.
He doesn't care.
He does not care.
He doesn't care about the midterms.
Doesn't care about anything.
He cares about getting the British system out of America.
It surrounds us as a, you know, what do you think Canada is?
They have been running the oil business, the shipping business, the shipping insurance business for 100 years.
And we've always been the dummies who've protected them when it came down to it.
Oh, we'll go into World War I.
Well, we'll go into World War II.
And Trump is saying, no, we are going to stop it and we're going to control it.
That is what's happening here.
And Israel has not, so far, they've only had downside.
They've only got bombs incoming.
They only have bad things happening.
It has not benefited them.
And now this was the kicker for what Tucker says here.
So you've already seen in the wake of a recent terror attack, neocons used that attack as a way to try and censor, shut down, maybe even imprison critics of the decision to go to war in Iran.
So it's almost like you control both sides.
You advocate.
Did you hear what he said there?
Yeah.
He said, we killed a religious leader, so now it's a religious war.
What?
Are you kidding me now?
This is not a religious leader.
This is a nutjob.
As a way to try and censor, shut down, maybe even imprison critics of the decision to go to war in Iran.
So it's almost like you control both sides.
You advocate for a war, which inevitably stokes religious hatred.
Here we go.
You advocate for the killing of a religious leader.
So you're helping to create religious war, permanent generational religious war.
And then when your country or the country you happen to be living in that you don't really care about feels the effects, when Americans are killed as a result of that, you use their deaths to justify the silencing of people who criticized you.
Does that make sense?
No, exactly.
Yeah.
So how much are you concerned we're going to see more of that?
I'm very concerned.
I think I pray we won't, but the odds are not in our favor, just considering how open our borders have been.
Obviously, this type of propaganda radicalizes people.
Again, we've already seen attacks.
We saw attacks inspired by the conflict in Gaza.
So I think we're going to see more of this.
And then just, you know, I made the mistake of opening up Twitter a couple times today.
There's people calling for, you know, dissenting voices to be charged, to be locked out.
Of course.
Et cetera.
And so the erosion of civil rights, I think, during a time of conflict is nothing new.
Unfortunately, we've seen it before.
It's the rule.
This is the part I don't understand.
Who's being silenced?
Well, besides that, I have never heard anyone since Tucker's been on his own show has pushed back against him.
You know, like nobody pushes back.
It's not like he's got any guardrails.
I hate to use that term, but it's like nobody's hauling him in, and he's getting nuttier and nuttier.
Well, I think he's an agent.
I think he is an agent for Britain.
And he is at the genesis of all of this.
The whole Charlie Kirk thing, he's drawing that all towards him, be saying, oh, the whole problem is that Charlie wouldn't bar me from speaking at TPUSA.
The Jews hated it.
This is what the British crown, this is what the city of London does.
And I am connecting Charlie Kirk's murder to all of this.
And it's successful because it has completely driven a schism into the conservative right in the United States.
And it's those who think Israel did everything and those who don't.
Well, now I understand why Carlson was visited by a beast in the middle of the night.
Now, I will say, as a Christian, I got to say, Ephesians 6, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness and the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly places.
British Empire Land Ownership Secrets00:06:45
I truly believe that.
I believe we are, there's constant spiritual warfare going on.
I'm just not sure what attacked Tucker, if you know what I mean.
Well, we'll see.
And so I'm going to make it even crazier because we're all nuts here in the Hill Country.
You know, Roseanne Barr moved to the Hill Country.
She lives right outside of Fredericksburg.
I see her from time to time.
She's a very odd woman.
You know, she's five foot one, maybe five feet.
Oh, yeah, she's tiny.
Yeah, she's tiny.
And I was introduced to her, and she doesn't shake hands.
She shakes arm.
So, you know, like a brother handshake where you grab each other's wrist and not that, not you don't shake hands.
You grab the wrist.
I don't shake hands.
It was very strange.
Yeah.
But she was on with Beanie Boy, with Tim Poole, and she gets it.
Well, the truth is that the royal British Empire is behind all of it.
Oh, oh, no.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
Tell me about it.
And that is what Trump has, you know, pretty much kicked in the gut of.
And that's because of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein and all the banks of City of London.
That's what's really coming down.
And of course, Iran is a great, you know, money laundering center of all of that.
And it sells 20% of its gas to China.
So Trump has put them all, including Cuba.
He's put their whole network that nobody ever talks about because they don't want to know the truth of how it's just British imperialism.
Standard oil is a better word for it than British imperialism.
They'll go anywhere for the oil.
They'll make up fake states all over the world and then sell weapons to both sides of every skirmish because they make money for their stock markets housed in Basel, Switzerland at the Bank of International Settlements, where they decide and fund every war because they make money on war.
They are the military, industrial, pharma, whatever, medical, every, they are consolidated raw power and they are royal.
And, you know, come on.
And in the past 20 or 30 years, things have been degrading internationally.
I think we need to be careful.
It's more complex than that.
Again, it's like we same issue that the anti-Semites are making, blaming Jews for everything.
We need to be careful not to fall into the same.
No, we can easily blame the banks of the city of London.
Absolutely.
I think that's more true.
I agree with that more than the royal family specifically.
But the royal family, you know, is the front office for that.
Let's be real.
I think it's involved.
It has historical.
Yes, it has tendrils everywhere, but it's just, there's no one, I think, competent enough to be doing that.
Listen to this Brit trying to defend them.
Most of them are just sort of like, they're in a kind of retirement home, generally, the entire royal family.
The prominent members, like the royals of this world, own the central bank of all central banks.
Which is all royals.
Not just UK.
Not just UK.
Okay, maybe.
And they're all related to each other, too.
There's about 13 families of them.
Let's jump to this next door.
We've got this.
Yeah, okay.
Go ahead, Tim Poole.
Don't dive into it, Tim.
You might get Charlie Kirk.
You don't want that.
You know who defends the royal family more than those in the UK?
Trump.
The Canadians.
Trump is always talking nice about him, but I think that's a wink and a nudge.
Oh, yeah.
But all of the she's right.
They are.
Look, the Van Montbattens, they're all German.
They're related to the Dutch.
They're related to the Danes, related to the Swedes.
They are.
Just watch the Crown, watch Victoria.
You get a real good sense of how that inbreeding has worked throughout the years.
And where did they get all the money?
East India Company.
The British Empire was robbing the entire world.
All that money went.
What were they living off of?
And now we have this kind of joke where, oh, where the taxpayers are paying for Buckingham Palace.
These people own so much actual land.
It's not funny.
Well, and what no one ever talks about, there's a really excellent book called The Merchants of Grain that talk, and it's been updated in the last few years.
Five families control all the grain in the world, in the entire world.
And if they want to cause famine, okay, you don't get your wheat this year.
Is that Cargill?
Are they a part of the family?
No, Cargill's another layer.
There's Cargill and I can't think of all the names.
We have some big privately owned corporations that control our meat and control everything else.
But there are five families that are very secretive, but it's laid out in this book called The Merchants of Grain, which I highly recommend because you read it and you go, I've never heard of these people.
And they're tied into the international banking as well.
And not the grain part, although he made, or the company now, it's Dreyfus.
Julia Louis Dreyfus's grandfather, he's one of the biggest shicers when it comes to oil, you know, getting oil from Libya, bringing it to Iran, back and forth.
I mean, this, you're right.
There are families you never ever hear about who are involved in all of this trade.
And I'm pretty sure Trump sees through that.
And, you know, someone said on Twitter the other day, oh man, you guys have Trump drain syndrome in reverse.
I said, what are you talking about?
He said, you never talk about this.
Well, you don't listen to every episode, I guess, because we have.
And I show them bingit.io.
Look, here it is.
So, well, you should criticize Trump more.
I said, if it's valid, if it's valid, well, we criticize Trump plenty.
It's valid.
And if we just happen to agree with what we see, then we're Zionist shills.
And especially me as the crazy Christian nationalist Zionist at work.
Well, the one thing to remember is Trump has dealt with people who are way richer than him.
He's dealt with somebody because, you know, in the business that he's always been in, I mean, his family's not that rich.
Rothschilds Wealth and IPO Interest00:03:08
They really aren't.
They're kind of like low-level rich people.
Oh, yeah.
And, you know, when you, at that level, there are people who are so far head and shoulders above you that he has a perspective that most people don't have because he's dealt with them.
He's made deals with them.
He's, you know, he's talked to them.
You know, there are people who are, you can't even imagine how much they control and how rich they are.
And they're just people.
I mean, that's just it.
You know, my whole thing is, you know, everybody's a person.
Everybody poops.
Everybody poops.
Exactly.
But, you know, in my past, I've known some people who are rich and I'd go, oh, you're rich.
They'd go, oh, no, not at all.
I'm like the poor rich.
I'm like the wrong side of the border rich.
And I'd be like, but you've got like $100 million.
And they go, oh, you have no idea.
That's true.
I remember, and our Dutch listeners will remember Nina Brink.
Nina Brink was the Dutch lady who bought up a couple of different internet companies, internet access companies, and was going to launch World Online.
And World Online was going to be a global internet services provider.
This is from the days when we still had dial-up modems and everything.
She bought Euronet and a couple other companies, and she was going to float it on the stock market.
She had already been very successful with business IT systems, a company called A-Line.
And Ron Bloom and I, we went to raise money from her, which is how I came to know her.
And I immediately saw what kind of a woman she was.
She's kind of this power woman, you know, dressed in the typical kind of pastel color, you know, the fuzzy, the fuzzy dress, you know, that's that's supposed to be very expensive.
And she's got the helmet.
She's got the smell jackets.
Yeah, yeah.
And she's just, she has hair like Queen Ursula Fonde Leyen.
And right out of the bat, she said, oh, this is great.
Yes, we'll invest a million dollars in you in a subordinated loan.
Okay, goodbye.
You know, that's not investing.
You're lending us money.
And then if we do anything good with it, you get the first money out.
And if we don't, then we're your slave for the rest of our lives.
So, but I got to know her.
I tried to sell her a helicopter at one point.
Wasn't very successful.
But this was a big flop, this float, because turns out right before the IPO, it came out that she had pre-sold all of her shares before it went public.
But I remember so clearly at a certain point, she said to me, oh, you know, this is before the IPO, the Rothschilds are interested, the Rothschilds.
And she was like a slug.
The Rothschilds.
Oh, the Rothschilds are interested.
And she's a very wealthy woman, the same, you know, hundreds of millions.
But when, oh, she heard the Rothschilds, oh, I might even meet the Rothschilds.
I'm like, wow, you are a sycophant lady.
Gay Rights and Warring Species00:04:21
You're sick.
So yeah.
Yeah.
And so I see the game that Trump is playing.
It's an oil game.
Now, the problem is this is going to cost a lot of money.
He's already asking for a trillion and a half dollar military budget next year.
The only way to fix the debt is to get interest rates way down and to switch the monetary system to stablecoin so that we still have the world reserve currency.
Because if we don't have the world reserve currency through stablecoin, which are backed by treasuries, then we're toast.
So it is a big gamble.
I mean, it's Trump casino level gamble, and that didn't turn out so well.
But at least he's doing something different.
Right.
That's what I like.
And I don't like war, of course.
I don't like that.
But every single one of us listening or speaking was born into a world at war.
Every single person.
That is the world.
Well, you know, it's not like we aren't a warring species.
That's what we do.
We form tribes and then we war against another tribe.
That's what we've done since the beginning.
I mean, that's why there's no Neanderthals here anymore.
You know, there were other species and we wiped them out.
Or we needed to just need to come to terms with our own culture.
We are a warring, fighting people.
Yeah.
That's what we are.
That is, and we believe it's just when we do it.
Oh, it's fun, I'm sure.
It's fun.
Let's be honest.
That's not fun.
Let's do something fun because this came across from New York Post.
I believe it's an AI voice, which is disappointing, but the story is fantastic.
President Trump was stunned to learn that U.S. intelligence indicates new Iranian supreme leader Moshtaba Khamenei may be gay and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason.
The Post can reveal.
Trump couldn't contain a surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
Others in the room also found it, quote, hilarious and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official has not stopped laughing about it for days, said one person familiar with the briefing.
The shocking claim was described to the Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House.
All three sources say the implausible sounding allegation is viewed as credible by U.S. spy agencies.
Two of the sources said the intelligence indicates that Mostaba has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.
The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamine family.
Mostaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same February 28th airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made aggressive sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of the Post sources said.
U.S. spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of the 56-year-old's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, with one saying it was derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has.
I don't know if you caught that, but when someone says the tip is solid, I'm like, I'm sold on the story.
Thank you very much.
The gay Atolla, the Gayatolla Khomeini.
Perfect.
You know, his father, I'm shocked his father let him live.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All these, all these people, you know, saying, oh, you know, we're protesting against, you know, for Iran, against the United States.
Do they understand that homosexuality is a death sentence?
That, you know, they other opinions aren't accepted.
I mean, it's like all these people would be dead if they went to Iran under the last regime under the IRGC.
I love the fact.
Yeah, I bet he is gay.
Gas Field Bombing and IRGC Regime00:09:58
Good.
He kind of looks.
I'm all for him.
Now that I look at the guy, my Gator does kind of go off.
Like, hmm, I never thought I never looked at him that way.
Oh, okay.
No, that's interesting.
Oh, you like him, huh?
No.
No.
I'm not into that.
Not into that.
No.
So overnight, there was some, you know, at this point, I'm thinking, what is because clearly, you know, everything is destroyed.
Their radar, their air force, they can still shoot off some missiles, I'm sure.
But the drones, they still got drones.
And the Straits of Hormuz, I mean, I'm thinking more and more, like, maybe we just keep that shut for a little bit.
I mean, we're working on alternatives with our GCC friends in the Abraham Accords.
It's only a tenth of what it needs to be, but it is an alternative.
Iranian attacks on the oil facilities of neighboring Gulf nations are creating a new chaos for exports, Brian.
Well, Iranian attacks have targeted the United Arab Emirates port of Fujairah for the second day in a row, reportedly triggering a large fire at an oil facility there.
Fujairah is one of the very few points of export for Gulf oil-producing nations that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
It's the terminus for an Emirati oil pipeline that runs from Habshan.
That's a port that lies before the key maritime choke point, now effectively closed by the threat of Iranian attacks.
That pipeline typically handles around 1.5 million barrels per day, maxing out at 1.8 million of the UAE's 3.5 million daily total.
Iran is well aware of the pipeline's value in allowing tankers to avoid the Strait of Hormuz.
Saudi Arabia has its own bypass pipeline going from Abkhaz on the Persian Gulf to Yanbu on the Red Sea.
A fleet of tankers has now gathered at Yanbu, waiting to load up on oil.
Shipments from Yanbu have gone from 2.1 million barrels per day to 3.1 million over the past week.
The head of the International Energy Agency, Mino, says the current war has created the largest oil supply disruption in the history of global markets.
So that's only 10% of what normally comes through the straits, but maybe they can amp that up.
I'm not sure.
I think that Abtina texted me the other day.
I just filled up my car with premium.
It was $4.69 a gallon.
Thanks, Trump.
Well, yeah, yes.
It sucks right now.
But I really think that this is more shenanigans than anything.
This is going to get solved.
What we want is China to pay retail.
Stop with your wholesale prices, China.
Retail.
Right.
I didn't get a clip, but evidently a Russian tanker was hit by, why can't I remember the name of the country?
Ukraine.
Yeah.
By Ukraine.
No, I'm not going to let you say Ukraine because that's Ukraine.
Ukraine.
Ukraine.
Okay, Ukraine.
And the tanker is on fire.
It has liquid petroleum gas and crude.
And it's floating off of Italy.
And everyone's been told to stay, you know, 500 kilometers away because it's a bomb.
They don't know when it's going to go off.
Nice.
Yeah.
Well, this is what's amazing.
When it comes to LNG, liquefied natural gas, that's our business.
Yeah.
So when this happened the other day, when Iran bombed the gas field or gas installation that belongs to the Qataris.
They share this one huge gas field in the Gulf there.
It's like that only that's going to Europe.
And that means we're going to be selling more of it.
So I mean, to me, it's like, okay.
And then Trump was mad at the Israelis about this.
South Pars is the largest natural gas field in the world, split between Iran and Qatar.
Iran says it was targeted by airstrikes overnight, reportedly by Israel.
Iran's president warning of consequences beyond control.
And Qatar accused Israel of a dangerous and irresponsible step that threatens global energy security.
In response, Iran advised citizens near five oil and gas facilities in U.S. allied Gulf states, including Qatar, to evacuate.
And on Wednesday night, Qatar reported major damage from a missile attack at a refinery.
Saudi Arabia also said it intercepted ballistic missiles.
The price of oil has spiked again amid the tensions.
And as the Gulf remains closed off for energy exports to nations, Iran sees as allied with the U.S. and Israel.
We all agree, of course, that the strait has to open up again.
And my note is that allies are working together.
No, no.
Allies have so far refused White House requests for help to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
Overnight, the U.S. military says it struck Iranian missile sites along the strait.
The United States military has a lot of capabilities, as you have seen play out over the last 18 days.
They still do have tricks up their sleeve.
Ooh, tricks up their sleeve.
So here, here's what the president posted.
Truth, he truthed it.
He says, Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars gas field in Iran.
A relatively small section of the whole has been hit.
The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form involved with it, nor did it have any idea what was going to happen.
Unfortunately, Iran did not know this or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG gas facility.
And then, uppercase, no more attacks will be made by Israel.
Because, you know, he's got that Zionist gun to his head.
So he's that's why he's doing it in uppercase.
Pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars field, unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar, in which instance, the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, because Israel needs that gas, will massively blow up.
That's that's bigger than just big, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars gas field and an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.
I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long-term implications that it will have on the future of Iran.
But if Qatar's LNG is attacked again, I will not hesitate to do so.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So there is the president afraid of Israel, I guess.
He's pissed.
And I'm going to guarantee you they don't do that again.
I love that line.
Thank you for this attention to your attention to this matter.
Yeah.
I hope this letter finds you well.
Yeah, that's actually that's pretty frightening.
The thought of what we could do, you know, like I'm going to take my ball and that and I'm going home.
Well, we're not going to go home.
This is going to be resolved.
And everything will, and the question is, will Iran figure it out?
And for sure, we have so-called boots on the ground, and we've got agents all over the place.
You know, the IRCG is kind of a distributed organization, so they're targeting all these regional IRGC offices.
There's a lot going on.
I'm just hearing about this.
I have no proof of it other than what military people are telling me, which could be propaganda.
I don't know.
But it sounds true.
We don't have troop carriers going out there yet, and I don't think that will happen.
I don't think so.
And I think it will return back to some normalcy probably within the next few weeks.
And then, you know, we'll see.
But even apparently, former presidents are a little envious that Trump is the one who did this.
Other presidents should have done.
I spoke to one of the former presidents who I actually like, actually speak to some.
I do like some people.
It would be shocking.
And he said, I wish I did what you did.
Could have done it.
Other presidents, somebody should have done it.
47 years this went on.
They call Iran the bully of the Middle East.
And you could have never had the Abraham Accords.
You could never have had peace in the Middle East.
Now, you're going to have peace.
You could never do it with the dark cloud of a nuclear Iran.
But Iran is a shell of itself.
It's no longer a bully.
It's the one that gets bullied.
It's a bully that got beat up.
We beat the crap out of them.
And they deserve that.
I just want to ask you about something very interesting that you said twice today.
But you talked to another former president of the Iran strikes.
Was it George W. Bush?
No.
Was it Bill Clinton?
I don't want to say it.
I don't want to say it.
Because a member of a party, a member of a poor.
They have truck derangement syndrome.
Oh, but it's somebody that happens to like me.
Nuclear Iran Peace Accords Reality00:10:25
And I liked that person who's a smart person.
But that person said, I wish I did it.
Okay.
But I don't want to get into who I don't want to get him into trouble.
Maybe, hey, you know what?
I think you probably know.
You know, it's interesting.
And maybe he'd be proud.
And I could even ask him that, would you like me to reveal your name to Peter at Fox?
Well, at least you have high ratings.
Hillary wouldn't let him.
Come on.
Exactly.
Hey, Donald.
I really like that, man.
I wish I had done that.
Would have been good.
Could have been real good.
Yeah, Hillary wouldn't let him.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought that was funny.
The guessing game, you know.
That's Trump.
That's Trump.
What else you got on your list here, Mimi?
You seem to have other things you brought along to the party.
So did you watch the Oscars?
You know, I'm glad you asked.
First of all, ratings down almost 10% over last year.
Only 3.5 million in the demo watched.
So that is an objective failure.
I could not even get through the monologue.
The first problem for me was, you know, he does the opening sequence, and I have not seen any of the movies.
So I knew that they, you know, that this all related to the movies, but I had not seen any of them.
Because who goes to the movie theaters anymore?
And the mic sounded so bad.
I couldn't get, I was like, oh, man, it could not get, it bothered me too much.
And, and, and we'll, and I thought the decor was orange, like burnt orange kind of color.
So, no, I did.
I, on YouTube, I later went back and I looked at my favorite segment, The Dead Segment.
And there's Barbara singing the way we were.
And she was, it was crap.
She doesn't look, she doesn't look.
She looks like the crypt keeper.
No, no, no.
Who was our health and human services secretary?
The admiral, the dude in the dress.
Who was that?
Who was that?
I don't remember, but yes.
Come on.
Who was that?
That's what she looked like.
Right away.
Cena's like, that's the Admiral.
Isn't it the Admiral?
Yeah, from Health and Human Services.
I got to look up his name now.
Levine, that's right.
Levine.
So, you know, for several years, she had a summer place that she would come to up here.
And I would see her at the local, you know, little independent grocery store.
No, Barbara or Levine?
Barbara.
Babs.
Yes.
And so her husband is, what's her husband?
Her husband is, what's Mr. Babs?
Oh, Brosnan.
Pierce Brosnan.
So I run into him at Sunny Farms.
I love Sunny Farms.
And I was looking at him, and he had one of those.
Is that a spa for celebrities, Sunny Farms?
Is that where you go?
Sunny Farms is the nut.
It's the local nut house that has great vegetables.
It has a butcher counter.
It's just a little, it's a little independent grocery store.
Gotcha.
Trendy.
So I go there and Broslyn's there and I don't recognize him really, but I noticed that he had the most beautiful haircut I've seen for a long time.
Brolin, I'm sorry, Josh Brolin.
Josh Brolin.
Thank you.
So he has.
It's one of those haircuts that looks like every hair was cut individually, measured and cut individually.
It was gorgeous.
And I went, you've got a great haircut.
Well, you said that?
Yeah, I said that to him.
Why not?
I'm in the potato aisle.
And he looks at me and he goes, do you know who I am?
And I went, well, do you know who I am?
Oh, no, that's okay.
And I walk away.
You showed him, Mimi.
I'm Mary Dad.
Just so you know, I'm Mary Dan.
I own this place up here.
This is Squim, whatever it's called.
So Barbara would always, Barbara, whatever you say your name, Streisand, would be in line shopping with us peasants, you know, with like sunglasses on and you have a hatred of famous people.
Well, and she's looking around like, who's recognizing me?
And it's like, we don't give a shit.
You know, you're in Sunny Farms.
We don't care.
You shop.
And she'd be up here all the time.
You'd run into her.
I ran into her maybe five or six times.
She didn't look like that.
I mean, she's had some work and it doesn't look good.
I absolutely loved I Have a Fonda About Redford clip.
Can I, before you go in, I just oh no, we'll play that and then I have to say something about your hatred for famous people.
Fonda, Fonda.
Oh, Fonda.
Here we go.
I mean, we lost so many greats this year.
I don't know.
How come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford?
She only made one movie with him.
I made four.
You made four.
I have more to say.
See it now.
I mean, what do you remember most about working with Robert Redford?
I was always in love with him.
Fonda, how old is Fonda now?
How old is she?
About the same age, you know, in her 80s.
88.
And she looks like she'd had a few to drink.
So did you notice who they left out of the memorandum?
No.
Who did they leave out?
They left out Bridget Bardot, Robert Carradine, Buddha.
Really?
Richard Chamberlain.
And they left out David Kiley, who invented IMAX.
Huh.
It was, I couldn't watch it.
Wouldn't watch it.
John described, he was since he was in the hospital, he had nothing else to do.
He described early on.
Oh, he watched it?
Yeah, he did.
Well, twice, I think.
Early on, there were three people who were up on stage, and the first two got to speak.
And the third one, the music queued up, and she was like, oh, okay.
And then somebody said, no, no, you're with Netflix.
Thank Netflix.
And they stopped.
They didn't lower the music.
They just stopped it to allow her to give her Netflix play.
So your stance towards famous people, the way I just heard you talk about her and say that she was looking around to see if anyone recognized her.
You could be a Dutch person.
This is how Dutch people are around celebrities.
Overnight, I was famous in the Netherlands at 19 years of age because I was doing a live music show on one of the two television stations that, and there was nothing else to watch.
That was it.
And I would be in a store or somewhere, and people would come up to me and say, I don't know who you are because I don't watch television.
And that reminds me of you, Mimi.
This hatred of people who are famous.
This is very interesting.
And you've mentioned this to me.
You said, I don't get celebrity.
I don't like famous people.
What is your problem, Lady?
Well, wait, let's go back.
My father's mother, my grandmother, my actually native grandmother, was a stage on stage.
She was actually a very famous stage actress.
And she's the one who introduced W.C. Fields to her producers and got him in a play called Poppy, which later became Sally of the Sawdust, his first motion picture.
Emma, her name is Emma Janveer, and Emma Janveer died in 1921, 22, right around there, during the production of Poppy.
And so my dad knew everybody as a kid, everybody in the whole business.
I mean, you know, people that no one will remember.
And, you know, as a little kid, I'd ask him, well, because W.C. Fields and my dad stayed close all through my dad's life.
Tell people who W.C. Fields was because I don't think everybody knows him.
People don't even know 20-year-olds don't even know who Michael Jackson is.
So you've got to explain.
Okay.
W.C. Fields was a vaudevillian juggler, one of the best jugglers in the world.
He juggled whole cigar boxes and many of them.
Yeah, I know.
And he did, he was mostly in vaudeville, which is how Emma knew him because Emma was also in Vaudeville.
Emma got him into the movies or into that one play, which led to the movies.
And he was in a series of movies.
He did a lot of radio shows.
He was exceptionally popular because he was such a goofball character.
And he had a funny delivery, like he'd be like, you know, my little chickadee.
And I would ask my dad as a kid, you know, did he talk like that?
And my dad would go, no, he talked just like you and me.
What do you think?
He's just a person.
So in my life, I've been able to meet lots of people who are famous.
And some people, you know, I feel sorry for them because you never have a moment without somebody there or the paparazzi showing up and taking pictures or people just intruding on you.
And so I've always just kind of like, you know, I've let me say this about that.
Yes, you know about that.
Yes, I do.
I am uniquely qualified to discuss this.
Any celebrity can Get around that.
Yeah.
You can get around it.
You may have some restrictions on your life, like maybe you can't eat at the Ivy in Hollywood.
Or in an outburger with an Oscar in your hand.
Maybe, maybe.
You know, I've had in the Netherlands when I was with my first wife before we were married.
It was quite scandalous.
She was still married.
She was 16 years my senior, both in show business, small country.
We had photographers in the trash can.
Celebrity Restrictions and Scandalous Past00:14:53
I kid you not, it was hilarious.
But in general, it was quite easy to get around stuff and not, you know, I never felt like, oh, I have no privacy.
I can't live.
You know, if you don't have to live in the big house in Brentwood, you know, you can, you can live all kinds of different places.
Hollywood is not Hollywood.
You don't need to live there, which is why I have so much respect for, you know, many like Harrison Ford.
Doesn't he live somewhere in Montana or whatever?
You know, go away, go live somewhere else.
I have enjoyed fame for it.
And I can, I remember three specific instances, but it's it, and people know me from two things.
And it's been fantastic.
So when I was in my 1920s, I was known in Holland and across Europe.
There was one scary kind of time when I got mobbed at an airport in Portugal, but it was also cool.
I'm like, wow, look at this.
I'm like the Beatles.
It was awesome.
But I was, you know, I was 20 or whatever.
So it was, yeah, 20.
I remember moving to New York in the late, mid to late 80s and just on MTV.
MTV had just gone to basic cable, 40 million households.
So it was definitely a thing.
And we lived on 56 and Broadway and we walked to the Hard Rock Cafe on 57th.
And this, you know, the Hard Rock, it was such a thing.
I mean, people stood in line to get into the hard rock.
And so we were in line, you know, and I had my baseball cap on, whatever.
You know, it wasn't necessarily, look at me, I'm Adam Curry with the hair all poofed up.
And I remember, I remember the doorman rushing up to me and saying, hey, Adam, hey, man, you don't have to stand in line.
Come on in.
And so we got in, we ate for free.
They gave us all kinds of cool hard rock stuff.
I remember thinking to myself, wow, that's really odd.
Like two weeks ago, I would have had to stay in the line and now I'm in here eating for free, getting free swag.
This is great.
And so that was the one time.
And so I'm either known for, you know, those days, I was known for MTV for a long time.
It was, it was bad and also not good for me after I left MTV.
I started my company.
This became a big company.
We took it public in NASDAQ on NASDAQ in 96.
And we had big customers, Budweiser, Reebok, IBM, Avon, like just, you know, Fortune 500 companies at the time.
And it was great because we do a sales meeting and pretty much this all fell on the marketing department, but they'd always bring in the IT guys.
So I could swoon over the ladies in the marketing department who were going to make decisions, but I also had the technological background to talk to the IT nerds.
That was good.
But the bad part was whenever something, whenever we screwed up, it's like I had to go fly and I had to go apologize to the ladies in the marketing department.
I'll send the MTV guy in.
And now in my early 60s, I'm 61, but ever since my 50s, I've been in Texas, kind of, you know, low profile.
I'm just a dude.
You know, I'm a podcaster.
I'm known from Rogan and from podcasting.
And the only benefit, which I enjoy tremendously, is that restaurants, restaurants will always get me a good table.
The owner always comes over.
He's got a Metallica t-shirt underneath, you know.
And I have to say, it's fantastic.
I love it.
Well, okay.
And I'm a great tipper.
I'm a great, but value for value, baby.
I'm a value for value tipper.
I'm a great tipper because I was a waitress for a long time.
So when I, so, okay, I've had this convoluted background, lived in Reno and then lived in Iran and then came to California for a year.
And then my parents were deciding we went back to Reno.
And my father was going back to being a merchant marine.
So he got offered a job with Mattson lines from Hawaii to the West Coast.
So we went and stayed in Hawaii for the entire three months of the summer because my mother needed to be convinced that she could live in Hawaii because that would be my dad's home base in Honolulu.
So this was back before Jumbo Jets.
So Hawaii wasn't super crowded.
It was just for the ultra-rich.
And we stayed at the Royal Hawaiian for three months.
Wow.
I had a great childhood.
Yeah, this was like 68.
So my parents just let me have run at the hotel.
So I could go down, I could sign for food.
I could, you know, I could go to the beach before dawn.
And I usually left the room right before dawn because, you know, I was a kid.
I had no controls.
I was everywhere.
So I would, my favorite thing to do would be to go sit next to the pool in the Royal Hawaiian right before dawn because you would, it was amazing.
You could smell the plumeria and you could have all these great intoxicating scents.
And then breakfast would start and it would be slowly evolve into the city waking up and the smell of bacon cooking and all that.
So one morning I'm down there and I've got my feet in the pool and somebody comes up and sits down next to me.
And he was a couple years older than me.
Really nice.
We hung out with each other for several mornings.
But that one morning we just talked and he talked about what a burden it was to be famous.
And I, you know, he really influenced me in a lot of ways because I could see it through his eyes because he was really lamenting it.
I was lamenting being lonely because I had my brother in Reno.
My brother had gone off to the university.
I kept getting ripped back and forth away from friends.
And I'm in Hawaii.
I don't know anybody.
I'm just the brat kid in the hotel.
And so for several mornings, we would hang out.
We'd run the beach before dawn.
We just had a great time.
And then his entourage would come down and take him away.
And so then you lost your train of thought, didn't you?
No, no, I was just trying to go which direction to go, whether I tell you who it is.
So one night, my parents and I were getting ready to go out to dinner.
And my parents went to restaurants constantly.
And in the lobby, we come up on him and his entourage.
And he comes up and he says, oh, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I have loved hanging out with your daughter.
She's been the bright point in my world.
Mimi has been so kind to me.
Would you please come as my guest to my performance tonight?
And here we go, the big reveal.
Who was it?
It was Jim Morrison.
Wow.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
John, is that where you met Mimi?
No.
Hey, Damorak, you missed your cue.
You missed your cue.
I know I missed the cue.
You guys are off the road.
You've driven off the road.
You're bouncing around in the desert now.
Ladies and gentlemen, he's back from the dead.
He lives.
Hey, you blew my punchline.
Yes, I'm out of the hospital and I should be doing the show on Sunday.
And I couldn't help but say, Adam invited me.
Hey, you could, you know, you could like, you know, maybe jump in the show here.
You feel you kind of feel like it.
And he steps on my punchline.
So we have a group here.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Mimi's complaining that you blew her punchline.
Let her get the punchline out of it.
I know the punchline out there.
That's why I did it.
Oh, the Bickersons are back.
So I'm actually given this opportunity to.
You can't get her back on the road.
Nope.
Okay, you tell me.
I'm going to be silent.
Tell the.
Oh, no, go ahead, John.
You can tell them.
You did the first time.
I forgot the punchline.
Okay.
Wow.
So, yeah.
Never mind.
I'll tell you later.
No, I want now.
No, no.
And everyone's on pins and needles.
Now we need to know.
So hold on.
It was Jim Morrison.
Right.
And he was getting ready to play the big venue in Hawaii for one night.
And he invites my parents to come to backstage to be able to see a show.
And before he even gets it out, my mother goes, no, no, thank you.
No.
And we go to dinner.
That's the punchline.
That is a good story.
That is a great story.
Hey, John, can I, you know, Mimi has been doing the show, been filling in for you, been doing fantastic.
I have definitely concluded that without either one of us, no agenda is not a show.
I miss you.
But Mimi's been pretty fun.
I've got to be honest with you.
No, she's good.
Except when she goes off driving off the road.
Because what she was doing there, if you remember, you're the one that triggered it, by the way.
You basically said, Mimi, give us a shaggy dog story on how you hate the letters.
I did not.
I did not.
And the end of the shaggy dog stories.
No, I don't feel, you know, it's like the guy sitting at the table and say, hey, hey, Frank, Frank, Frank Sinatra.
Say hi to me when you come by because that's going to impress this girl.
And then Frank goes, you know, he's walking by the guy at the table.
And the guy is on the phone and looks up at Frank.
He says, hey, hey, later, maybe.
Back.
It's a kind of dissimilar material.
So anyway, I'll be doing the show on Sunday.
You sound the same.
It's like nothing happened.
Did you just go to the Seychelles on vacation?
You don't sound like you operated on the ball at all.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Have your chest cracked open someday.
See what you think.
No, thank you.
I'll pass.
I'll pass if you don't mind.
Well, clearly, John got a good night's sleep last night.
I did not.
Why?
It is almost impossible to sleep because I like to sleep.
I'm a side sleeper just like Tucker.
I know.
I'm looking for somebody to claw me, and it hasn't happened.
Ooh, a callback.
Nice.
And so I can't do that.
I have to sleep on my back.
And it's very tedious.
It's tedious.
It's not good.
There is something in your voice that is different.
There's like a small extra spark of enthusiasm.
Do you think that's possible?
I miss the audience.
The trolls are going to be a little bit more.
I miss you doing it.
Yeah.
Do you miss your wife at all?
I mean, just an astonishing.
I like the fact that she says it's hard to do this three hours and yakity yak.
In the whole week of finding clips.
But I do better on ISOs than you do.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
She's got nine ISOs.
Well, and also, by the way, I miss you, Adam.
Oh, thank you, John.
So everybody out there should note that.
Yes, and I miss you too.
I said that to you privately.
I said, man, I miss you.
And I said it to Tina.
I said, you know, I never thought I'd say, because initially.
I never thought I'd think that.
No.
No, this is interesting because, you know, like a week ago, Tina's like, can you call John?
Like, what am I going to say?
We've got nothing to say to each other.
You've been around us when we're not on the show.
I got nothing to say.
And she's like, what?
I said, no, whatever.
He's okay.
And then, you know, I was like, Brunetti said, oh, I talked to John.
Horowitz, oh, I talked to John.
Like, okay, now I got to talk to John.
And I talked to you.
I was like, oh, I really miss this guy.
It's, you know, 18 years, a long time.
Yeah.
He didn't grouse for the first week, which really scared me.
What, when you were married, the first week of your marriage?
No, the first week he was in the hospital, he barely groused.
He'd be like, uh, and I was like, where's John?
I want John back.
I want him to say something mean to me.
There you go.
I think it's a good thing.
On that note, like I said, I'll be on Sunday and I hope that you guys, I'll leave you alone.
I was actually intending on jumping on the into the stream during the donations.
Well, we're just about to get into the donation segment.
Yeah, I'm just good enough.
And so I said, yes, okay.
So excuse me, and I'll be on my way.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, there he is.
John C. Dvorak.
He put the C in cardiac arrest.
Beautiful.
All right.
All right, buddy.
I'll talk to you on Sunday.
Gotcha.
All right.
I'm disconnecting you now because I don't trust you.
All right.
There we go.
Please go.
So let's thank some people, Mimi, who have been kind enough to support us.
And first, we'll just mention that this is a value for value podcast.
Whatever value you get out of the podcast, the whole idea is you put it right back into it.
And you can do that with your time, your talent, your treasure, any amount, any type of talent or time.
Lots of people help out doing meetups.
People build websites, maintain servers, VoidZero, always making sure that we're up and running.
And there's always the artwork, which has gotten easier for people to do.
But still, there's real work involved, you know, typing.
So we want to thank the artist for episode 1851.
We titled that one Mark and Mimi.
I couldn't resist.
And the artwork was from Baron Darren O'Neill.
This was one that John would have liked.
Typically, I would have said, like, it's too busy.
It looks like a cartoon.
But because we had that whole lobstergate bit, did you see the art?
Did you see the art that I did not?
I'm sorry.
Oh, well, thanks.
Darren's happy to hear that.
It was a dynamite piece.
It was a lobsters and the lobsters were going to war.
And it was a very classy, classy, classy, classic piece for No Agenda.
And Baron Darren O'Neill did a great job on that.
And next week we'll return to Grousing About the Art.
John and I will be doing it together.
But first, I'm going to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1852.
Lobster Art Donation Credits00:08:23
We thank everybody, $50 and above.
You can send your support to the show, your value to noagendadonations.com.
We kick it off with an anonymous donation from Marietta, Georgia, $1,000.
Boom.
And here's the note that Anonymous sent.
John and Adam.
And I'm going to add Mimi there.
Just want to say thank you for the last 18 years.
I'm 38 years old, middle-aged, and have been listening to you guys for my entire adult life.
I've graduated college, started a career, married my wife of 15 years, got a second degree, have three wonderful children, and started a successful business.
I'm hoping one of those or two of those kids are named John and Adam, because that is kind of the agreement.
Or Mimi.
Or Mimi.
John, Adam, and Mimi.
There you go.
There's the kids.
Hey, kids.
There have been wars, economic turmoil, presidencies, the pandemic, and much more between now and then.
A lot has happened between then and now.
And I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm grateful.
I'm grateful that you guys have been a consistent source of reason, humor, and calm.
I imagine sometimes it's nice to look back on your body of work.
Oh, it's such a body of work.
There's White Snake.
And feel like it made an impact.
That it was worth it.
That was worth something.
And I hope, well, yes, a note like this makes it worth it.
And I hope you two know that what you have done for the last 18 years was a worthy endeavor.
Is this like a eulogy?
Are we both dead now?
Is that what's going on here?
Not just for me, but I suspect for many others living life with you from a distance.
John's recent heart surgery made me realize that one day the show will end.
And that thought made me take a stock in how much I've appreciated you over the last 18 years.
I didn't want to wait another day to say a simple thank you.
So thank you from Anonymous.
That's a nice note.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's actually lovely.
So that means it's a night now, right?
Yes.
But of course, I guess we'll be doing that on Sunday.
All nightings and damings.
Do it next Thursday because that gives John time to get back into it before you're swinging around that sword for so much.
Yeah, good point.
We don't want him to pull something.
So the next one is Don Tommaso DiTorrent from Kettleby, Ontario, Canada.

Adam, John, and Mimi, along with the rest of the back office, thank you for all you do.
John, I'm 35 years old, born with a congenital heart defect, and have had three open heart surgeries by the time I was 14.
Show off.
That's time for a zipper.
I have a horror story or two.
F that one surgeon, but it's not as bad as everyone claims, especially with morphine, and you're in good hands.
Anyway, I wish John the best of luck in his recovery and simply ask for some health karma for John and some relationship karma for myself.
Love and light, Sam Rickman.
You've got karma.

Illegal Immigration Emergency History00:09:05
We hit people in the mouth.
Shut up, sleep.
Yeah.
Oh, this was a nice story.
So the dog shooter got kicked out, Chrissy No.
Yeah.
Yep.
And did you see any of the confirmation hearing with this new guy, Mullen?
I did, but he doesn't have much personality.
Oh, did you see the tearjerker moment?
No.
Oh, this is.
I mean, I saw this.
I'm like, you're confirmed.
Oh, wait a minute.
I hate Trump.
I can't confirm him.
But wait, I'm confused.
So my son was a really world-class athlete.
And January 17th of 2020, which mind you was an election year.
He had a really serious brain injury.
And the president found out about it and he gave me a call immediately.
He didn't understand the severity of it, but he heard it in my voice and immediately went to work.
He called almost every day for two weeks checking on Jim.
And then he says, I'm going to come see him.
The center told us that the short-term memory loss would something would trigger it.
Some big event would eventually trigger where he would start retaining stuff.
Until then, he was still having issues.
And the president arrived for the next 15 minutes.
did nothing but love on my son.
That one incident jogged his memory.
And from then on, he started retaining things.
And Jim's attitude went from this, you know, we're going to get through it to this, I'm going to get through it.
When we got released a little bit, the president said, come to Mar-a-Largo and see me.
We go down there and home station.
It was amazing.
And when we're leaving, dang it.
I hate getting emotional.
See, if I talk about my kids, I get emotional.
Other than that, you can't make me cry.
Anyways, he grabbed my son and he said, he said, do you know why I love your dad?
Do you know why I love your dad?
Chrissy tells a story better than I do.
And he goes, no, sir.
He goes, because he loves you.
Because of you.
Because of you.
Man, he didn't do it for any other reason.
I mean, here's the president of the United States and he did it just because he cared.
Yeah, I believe that story.
Yeah.
I totally believe that.
Yeah.
Oh, you know, I think more people should get choked up when they speak.
Yes.
I'll try and do it on Sunday.
It may not be easy.
I'm going to try and get choked up and try and be all emotional about it because I'm sure John will hate it.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure he would.
He said he missed me.
Did you hear him?
You heard him.
He said he missed me.
I heard it.
You got it on tape, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right next to.
I can't stand one more fucking jello cup.
Yeah, right next to that one.
It's all recorded.
All right.
You're out in California.
Let's talk of, let's talk fraud.
I mean, you're in California, on the West Coast.
You're on the fraud coast.
Well, do we want to talk about Chavez first?
Getting canceled?
Yeah, sure, whatever.
That's fine.
Okay.
I have no idea what's going on.
Chavez getting canceled.
Here we go.
Troubling details of a New York Times investigation into sexual assault allegations against farm labor icon and Arizona native Cesar Chavez.
Two women have now come forward to accuse Chavez of rape, and several others say he sexually abused them.
Perhaps most shocking is the account from Dolores Huerta, the now 95-year-old co-founder of the UFW.
And now tonight, several groups and cities are canceling events in Chavez's name.
Brian Webb is live to continue our coverage tonight.
Brian.
Hi, Christina.
The Cesar Chavez name is all over the valley, from schools to dog parks and this plaza in downtown Phoenix, right by City Hall.
Not to mention several events on Cesar Chavez Day, March 31st.
But that is quickly changing after interviews of more than 60 aides and relatives, union records, pictures, emails, and recordings.
Pictures of Cesar Chavez are already off the walls at El Portal Restaurant in South Phoenix.
The owner knew, worked, and revered Chavez, Mary Rose Wilcox.
Very humble, very passionate about making sure that social justice got carried out for all people.
Wilcox served on the Phoenix City Council and was a supervisor in Maricopa County.
But before that, she was an immigration activist and first met Chavez in 1971 helping organize unions for farm workers.
She remembers him as humble and kind.
I'm just heartbroken to bottom.
You know, I'm really torn because I really, you know, revered Chavez.
And now I look at it and I'm just sick about it.
You know, I found out last night and my husband and I both had a terrible night.
And this morning we woke up and said we have to make a statement.
And, you know, you're really torn because there's two Chavez's.
There's the one Chavez who did all these good things and passed all this legislation and was a passionate man who wanted farm workers rights.
And now you find out there was another Chavez we didn't know.
Is this the old Hugo Chavez?
The old Cesar.
He died at the time.
But how old are these women?
In their 80s and 90s.
Oh, okay.
They don't sound like it.
They don't sound that old.
Well, I mean, it'd be a little late to speak up.
So they're tearing down history.
This is absolutely tearing down history.
You know, I met Cesar in the story.
I didn't.
Is this going to be the one when your mom said, we're not going to Cuba?
Is that how this ends?
No, no, Cesar was from Arizona.
No, he was okay.
I mean, it was my boyfriend at the time's father worked for the co-op stores, and he was big on the civil rights movement.
And Cesar, he was helping Cesar.
So this is a prime example of tearing down history for a reason.
Yes.
So I start looking around to try to figure out why.
And it becomes very obvious when you listen to some of his old speeches because.
Oh, yeah.
He hated illegal immigration.
He.
Yeah, so I have a 1972 interview and a 1974 interview.
All right, 72.
Or we've gotten very few.
And then all of a sudden, yesterday morning, they're brought in 220 wedbacks.
These are the illegals from Mexico.
Now, there's no way to defend against that kind of strike breaking.
And so therefore, the only way to win strikes is by then taking our fight to the citizens, to the people in the city, especially, and have them help us boycott those products that we're striking.
And we need that.
And that's the only way we've been able to get contracts.
And I venture to say that without that, we couldn't possibly organize unions.
So what would happen was they would, at the time, the grapes were a big thing, boycott grapes.
But the workers had stopped working in an attempt to force the owners and everybody in the area to give them decent wages.
So the next interview actually tells really what happened.
It's a great interview.
This question of the illegals is very interesting.
Would you say that it's at this particular moment as important as any of the other problems facing the union?
Oh, yes, in the last three weeks, it's become the last two weeks.
It has become an emergency for us.
There's an awful lot of illegals coming in by the hundred, by the thousands.
Our people are not only in some of the crews where there's now strike breaking, some of the schools are 100% illegals outright openly, with no attempt to disguise it.
And so it's so bad now that we estimate 60 to 70% of the farm workers in California, the resident worker, of the citizen is out of a job because of the wetbacks.
They're coming in by the thousands, just unbelievable.
See, they're coming in with the consent of the immigration service, which is part of the Department of Justice.
How else could they come?
We, for instance, know that if you go to Coachella, you go around the El Paso area, the secondary immigration checkpoints have been unmanned now for at least three, four weeks.
They're closed.
They're at night.
They're dark.
There aren't any patrolmen there.
It's a gimmick.
We think that it's a prelude at the beginning to a big drive on the part of the administration and the Mexican government to bring the Bracero program again.
It's a vicious attack on the local worker, and it's just one of those things that every business thinks they can get away with it.
And our job is to inform the whole country what's happening together with the boycott and solve it that way.
Erasing Martin Luther King Memory00:05:34
Who was president then?
It was Nixon and then Gerald Ford.
So the Bracero program was started after World War II to bring contract workers up from Mexico.
Yeah.
And then they could stay for a visa, then they had to go back.
And that happened all the time.
Yeah.
But in this case, he was for the farm workers who were here legally.
Here illegally, right.
So I think this is an attempt to completely erase his memory.
It's completely erase how he began a labor movement.
But when I start looking around, I think that Martin Luther King Jr. should be a little afraid.
Can you play that clip?
I have a dream.
My four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
Martin Luther King Jr. remains one of the most revered figures of the 20th century, a minister, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and the voice of the civil rights movement, whose I Have a Dream speech continues to echo through history.
Yet behind the pulpit and marches lay a private life now shadowed by controversy.
Recently unearthed FBI files and reports from the National Archives have resurfaced shocking allegations of King's serial infidelity.
He had sexual encounters with up to 40 women and was present during acts of abuse by others.
Yeah.
Why do you think that who do you think is behind this?
Why are they doing this?
Hello?
Well, I lost you, Mimi.
I see you're connected.
Hello?
Hello, Mimi.
Oh, there you are.
You back?
No, no, you've muted yourself now.
What happened?
That was odd.
Hello?
You're still connected.
Yeah, you're mute.
Now you've muted yourself.
So click on the green microphone and unmute yourself.
Hello?
Podcaster down!
Podcaster down!
You've got to click on mute on the green button.
Yeah, are you okay?
Now I'm concerned.
You can hear me, so you muted yourself.
Oh, no!
She's left.
All right.
We'll set a time marker here.
We'll see what happens.
There we go.
Connecting.
Ah, you're still muted.
Click the green microphone button or the white microphone button.
There I am.
Yeah, right back on.
Yeah, what happened?
Solar flares.
Oh, okay.
Solar flare.
So my question was: why do you think this is happening right now?
I think it's happening because of the whole ICE thing.
They can't have a hero who's talking about wet backs and illegal immigrants.
I think that's part of it.
And I think that it's just heavy-handed.
It's like, are we trying to destroy the farm workers' union?
Are we trying to, I think it's a backlash against him.
You know, but it's like how, let's tear down history.
Let's rewrite history because I'm seeing history being rewritten every which way.
Well, hold on.
But this is true history, is it not?
What part?
The women who are 80 years old, suddenly remembering that they were.
Yeah, that's probably true.
The Martin Luther King stuff is probably true.
I mean, there's lots of evidence of that.
Yeah.
And let's wait till people are dead and they can't defend themselves.
Well, yeah, that's what you do.
You know, I find it to be a little, yeah, I know.
It's, it's just, I think it's just, it's more, I think it's, it's falsely like we've had a lot of things happen up here where entire narratives have been changed in history.
And I think that, you know, rearranging, rewriting history is not a good thing.
But that, you know, it plays into, it plays into, you know, all the fraud.
Okay.
Well, I'll just say that, you know, I like it when history is when a different history emerges, such as we didn't land on the moon.
I like it when that emerges.
I like it when those things happen.
Now, it doesn't bother me that much.
Because to me, it's not quite the same as taking down statues of Washington and Jefferson or, you know, that's a little different.
The street names are getting changed.
They're taking away his day.
That they just, Obama was the one who gave us Cesar Chavez Day on March 31st.
Oh, well, okay, there you go.
They're really naming schools and dog parks.
I mean, it is completely erasing him from history.
It's not adding a footnote.
Oh, okay.
All right.
No, I disagree with that.
I don't think that's necessary.
That's interesting.
I've not picked up on this happening at all.
Medicare Fraud Billionaire Tax Link00:15:15
You know, there are tons and tons of fraud that's going on is unbelievable to me.
Yes.
Tina's been keeping me up to speed on that a little bit.
So there was a petition fraud in California.
It's ABC.
All right.
A video making its rounds on social media appears to show people getting paid $5 to sign a ballot initiative.
And it has people really criticizing the signature gathering process.
Take a look at this video.
This was posted on X by JJ Smith, who tells us that he saw this happen in San Francisco.
He says that he noticed a line of people waiting to sign what appears to be ballot initiatives at a table.
One of the people in line tells him that you can receive $5 if you sign the petition.
Now, in the video, a woman behind the table appears to tell people what name and address to sign on that petition.
Smith says the entire encounter made him question the legality of the process.
They were coaching them to what name they signed, what address in what city.
And right there, that rang the bill in my head is like, they turned on the light in my head.
Like, that's not legal.
Why not sign your own name?
Building a Better California is a policy organization who says this was one of their campaign documents that was being signed.
A spokesperson with the organization says they are outraged and do not tolerate this type of fraudulent activity in the signature gathering process.
Yeah, this is one part of it.
What's really the Medicare fraud is what's most unbelievable.
And unfortunately, they're throwing people in jail who are just pawns in the whole game.
Well, let's go back.
Okay.
The billionaires tax in California, they have to come up with 800,000 valid signatures by June.
Oh, wow.
So the initiative is sponsored by the whole initiative is sponsored by the SEIUHUHW, which is a California-based union of over 100,000 healthcare workers.
The group's leadership has been usually accuses corporations of Medicare fraud, but they've also had a lot of internal allegations of corruption, including in 2023 when the SEIU vice president was convicted in federal court of 14 counts, which included embezzlement of union funds, tax violations, which leads us right into Nick Shirley just dropped a new video.
Yeah, you said dropped.
Okay, he dropped.
Yes, he dropped a new video.
You want to do this billionaires tax first?
You know, I'm going to leave that for John because he'll love to go into that more because this is not going to go away.
Okay.
So which Nick Shirley?
Nick Shirley knew on California fraud.
California may have the largest amount of fraud in the country as California is the state with the highest taxes and collects more money than any other state in America.
It is filled with fraud.
California's version of Medicaid called Medi-Cal has more than doubled since 2022 from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion in 2026.
Their population, however, has not grown exponentially.
However, their spending has.
There has been a thousand percent increase in hospice care in the Los Angeles County.
In fact, one out of every $10 of home health care in America is spent in Los Angeles.
On top of that, their government-funded daycare programs are filled with violations.
While they continue to give money to these fraudsters, it is estimated that the fraud in California could be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Yes.
Yay!
Good reason to tax billionaires.
So Nick went to an old motel that has been converted into office spaces.
There were 80 some hospices in this one place.
Some were empty, you know, just like the whole thing with child care in Minnesota.
Lots of expensive cars in the parking lot.
So then later in his video, he does outline how this works.
And that's the Nick Shirley outlines.
The way these hospices are able to enroll these people and collect money from Medicare and Medi-Cal here inside of California is they collect the Medicare numbers from individuals and then sign them up for hospice without them even knowing.
I actually went and spoke with a professional inside of the medical industry to get her opinion on how this all works.
We're seeing all these hospices pop up here.
Why is hospice and home health care such a booming business right now?
I think it's become a trend of fraud.
Honestly, it has.
Like, I heard about this about five years ago during COVID, that people were building hospices and selling them.
It was like a business these people made.
So it's an easy, I think, easy way to build Medicare with their people's beneficiary numbers that people can easily steal and even purchase and buy.
They buy numbers from people and tell them, give me your Medicare beneficiary number, and I will give you something in return.
And what does that mean, give you my beneficiary number?
So there's an ID that you have.
Medicare gives you, Medicare is for anybody 65 and over.
So they'll give you a Medicare ID number.
And that number is what's used to build Medicare.
So essentially, if they can get a number from somebody, it's almost like getting a credit card number.
And then from there, they can continue to bill and bill and bill and get that Medicare money.
Exactly.
It's actually more beneficial than finding a credit card theses.
Anybody can get a hospice license, actually.
You don't need to be a physician.
You don't need to be a doctor.
You can apply and get a hospice license in the state of California.
They bill, they take the Medicare numbers, they bill Medicare, the Medicare sends them a check right away.
It's an easy process.
And what kind of people are doing this in California?
Regular old California Ins?
Well, so far it's been identified as being the Armenian mob and some other mobs.
But what's really interesting about all this, so Nick Shirley is saying, oh, I just discovered this.
Except California, and I actually sent it to you for the show notes.
California's own fraud investigation department, their auditing department, found that the state's licensure and oversight of hospice agencies in 2019 that Los Angeles County has experienced a 1,500% increase in its number of hospice agencies since 2010.
It had more than six and a half times the nationwide average of hospice agencies relative to its aged population in 2019.
They found indicators of large-scale fraud that likely include fraudulent billing to Medicare and Medi-Cal, including the apparent use of stolen identities of medical personnel to obtain licenses.
So they knew that in 2019.
A big report was done in 2020.
But meanwhile, we have Newsom who said 10 months ago, part one.
We're Dogebut Better.
And we've been Doge for literally six years.
Dogeba Better.
Yes.
Doge, but Dogeba Better.
And then he has more words salad on part two.
You know, you can go back.
There's amazing that we still have the tapes of our announcements around ODI and all of these reforms and efficiencies that we've been advancing for years and years and years.
It's just, again, difficult to sort of break out of that, you know, the intention challenge.
Okay.
So you've been watching Nick Shirley for a while, I believe.
For two years at least.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I was first introduced to him with the Minnesota Learing Center videos.
Yep.
Yep.
And he had this guy next to him, Bob.
You know, Bob is never introduced to us.
Bob's got all the paperwork.
I think it was Dave.
Dave.
I think it was Dave.
Bob, Dave, Pete.
Same thing.
He's got all the information.
Is this the same?
Because I suspect that someone saw what Nick Shirley was doing and went, this is a great way to show this fraud.
Because it never works when you get Pam Bondi standing up there in front of the press.
And, you know, it doesn't work.
But this is a stealth way of getting people outraged.
Does he have another Dave, Bob, or Pete with him when he's out in California?
He has.
During the video, he has a couple of different people.
One of them, I think, is just emotional support.
He's got his, I mean, some of the situations he's getting himself into looks really scary to me.
But this is all common knowledge.
I mean, this is like there is a government report from 2019 that was published in 2020 that says, oh, yeah, this is a huge problem.
There are other podcasters, video podcasters, whatever you call them.
YouTubers, YouTubers, YouTubers, who've been putting up information all along, but couldn't get any traction because, you know, he's got the best platform.
But why?
I'm telling you that there's someone on the inside working with him, giving him stuff, helping him, showing him, juicing something.
Well, actually, somebody asked, I wonder, I think it's probably Trump.
I have a Trump personally or just the administration.
Trump explains the money.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
That's what I'm talking about.
You said during your state of the year that this type of fraud, the corruption, is the type of thing that can shred the fabric of the nation.
Why do you suppose then that leaders in recent memory haven't looked at the systemic amount of fraud?
Because they're crooked.
They make money.
They gain power.
They use it for power.
Like with the Somalians, they vote in a block 100%.
They make a deal with the Somalians.
They all vote because they're in a gravy trade.
It's money first.
Power second.
A lot of people say power first now.
It's money first.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, this Nick Shirley pop has Trump written all over it.
Yes, absolutely it does.
And I think it's great.
He's got the audience.
He's got the eyes, and he's such an unassuming little...
Oh, he's so sweet.
He's such a sweet boy.
He's having a birthday next month.
I know.
He's finally going to be older.
Oh, wow.
Oh, what's he going to be?
12?
Yeah.
I think 24.
I think this is the future.
It's a dynamite way to expose fraud through a YouTuber who's out there with the one camera.
Actually, I think he has two.
I've seen him with two shots.
Sometimes two, yeah.
Yeah.
It's great.
It's a great way to do it.
And man, it is rampant.
And yes, it's hundreds of billions of dollars.
Maybe a trillion a year.
Who knows?
Which explains that?
Which explains why the billionaire's tax is such a big deal to California, which if you want, you can certainly play that billionaire tax explanation because it's pretty much how much we're losing in Medicare fraud.
Tax pay for health care or would it backfire?
That's the debate behind a proposed wealth tax that could be on the California ballot this November.
Supporters have to collect about 875,000 signatures by mid-April just to get it on the ballot.
But it's already caused a ton of grief among big names in tech and finance, and they're not the only ones.
Even Governor Gavin Newsom has come out against it, saying it would hurt the state's finances in the long run.
It's a badly drafted effort.
It's already had an outsized impact on the state.
To get a full understanding, let's back up to step one.
How would the tax actually work?
Could it work?
Well, it's a one-time tax of 5% of wealth.
Individuals or couples worth more than $1 billion, as of the end of this year, would have to pay it.
That's about 200 people in the entire state.
If you're a billionaire and you live here, you'd be subject to the proposed tax.
It covers stocks, cash, businesses, just about everything.
What it doesn't cover is real estate, and you could exempt up to $5 million of personal property like ART or a private jet.
90% of the tax would help cover federal cuts to health care.
The other 10% would help fund education and food assistance.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of people in the tech industry do not like this one bit.
One of their biggest claims is that it would cause the wealthy to move to Nevada or Texas or Florida.
Here's the problem if that happens.
According to state data, more than 40% of California's income tax comes from the top 1% of income earners.
So if lots of the state's rich residents did leave, California's bank account would get smaller.
Would they actually leave?
It's hard to say.
There's some research that indicates that rich people actually rarely move in response to new taxes.
And that's because they tend to depend pretty heavily on social and professional ties to, say, Silicon Valley.
But also, we've never had a wealth tax like this before.
Most of the European countries that have tried it eventually got rid of it.
I got to show you how to use Adobe to remove that horrible music.
I know.
Oh, goodness.
No, no, it's okay.
It's just like, oh.
Interesting.
I think they would move.
I think that I mean, they're already.
But oddly enough, we only need this tax because of so much fraud.
The money is just flown out.
Yes.
Next time someone complains about the 3.8 billion we give to Israel that they spend on our war stuff, remind them of this.
Yeah.
In every state, every state this exists.
That's the problem.
Or every blue state.
What is the total Medicare?
I mean, what does the federal government pay annually in?
Let me see.
Let me ask the robot.
What is the annual federal expenditure?
I'm going to use some big words.
Expenditure for health care from the okay, for health care.
Boom.
All right.
Let's see.
All right, robot.
I put it in thinking mode, so it'll take a second.
Yeah, let's go.
Think real hard.
I like who's pushing this tax the most is Bernie Sanders.
Oh, my God.
He's everywhere.
Well, of course.
But here it is.
Oh, man.
The most recent completed fiscal year, 2025, the U.S. federal government spent approximately, how much do you think?
Trillions.
$2.03 trillion.
That's more than a quarter of the total budget.
Now, that can't all be fraud.
No, but if a hefty portion of it is.
Yeah, we can buy some more bombs for Iran.
It's great.
Hey, there you go.
Yeah, let's bomb them, everybody.
I'm going to show my skill by donation to know what you're doing.
Imagine all the people who could do it.
That's right.
We thanked our executive and associate executive producers earlier.
Now, we are going to thank everybody who supported the show.

I thought you said something.
No, I'm hearing more.
There's more solar flares.
We're hearing more bings.
It's fine.
Is this?
Are you joshing me or are you there real solar flares?
Interesting.
I'm far enough north that sometimes we get them and it screws up our internet and our cell phones.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
I'm glad this is the last time we're doing this.
Yeah.
Annoying.

You to be where you want me.
Trigger to a hell of a lame.
You to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
All right.
Now, Mimi, you came with nine ISOs.
Nine.
Uh-huh.
Nine.
I'm an overachiever.
Yes, you are.
And I'm just going to play mine.
I have, I actually have, what do I have?
I have four of them.
I thought it was loaded for bears.
So I'll play mine first and then we'll go through yours.
Here we go.
Well, I guess that's it.
That's your boy.
You recognize him?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, who is it?
It sounds like Tucker.
No, no, listen.
No, who is it?
Listen again.
Listen again.
You'll get it.
Well, I guess that's it.
You're in love with him.
Tasman Gold.
Oh, it doesn't sound like him.
That's funny.
All right, next one.
I am in love with him.
Yes, I know you.
All right.
Here's the next one.
Okay.
Bye.
This is a classic.
That's important information you might want to write down, folks.
Okay.
Okay.
And then this is just, this is my favorite.
We're pounding it, like really pounding it hard.
Kind of like that one.
All right.
So now, Mimi, with your, I can't, I don't even have enough players on my system to load them all up.
All right.
Which one do we go?
Do we go in order?
Yes, let's go in order.
Okay.
Number one, ride.
Because I can give you a ride if you need a ride.
Okay.
Number two.
I was not prepared for whatever that was.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
It's a little muddled.
Not that you can help that.
Okay, number three.
You can go.
You don't have to.
You can hang around.
Still great, but you can go.
Yeah, it's too long.
It's too long.
Okay, four.
Show is over.
Show is over.
That's cute.
This next one's too long, too.
These are too long, but I'll play them.
Y'all hear me in there?
Rat was done last night, Thursday.
No more.
That app ain't working all wash.
He said that last go-round and the one before that.
See, I turned it.
It's busy.
No, unacceptable.
Unacceptably long.
I know, but it's cute.
Got to get going.
I meant you already.
Stop.
Oh, that's cute.
I like that one.
Let's see.
Another one that's way too long, Mimi.
Give me your love to hold.
What is that?
Pet Pee Product Carpet Stain Remover00:04:30
No.
No, you don't understand ISOs.
I know, but I thought it was funny.
Number eight.
What?
What?
Okay.
You know who that is?
That's Tucker.
That's Tucker.
And this is a longer one.
Once.
What are you even talking about?
I kind of like, let me see.
Was it this one?
No, no, that's not.
I like this one.
It's kind of what I like.
Got to get going.
I meant you already.
Stop.
Kind of like that one.
You get to choose.
Oh, you know what?
I'm fine.
You choose whatever you want.
Number six, it is, everybody.
And before we go, of course, it is time for the tip of the day with the one and only Mimi.
Green fast for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes I don't.
Well, hopefully this isn't one that John's already done because I'm always raving about this product, but I think he doesn't like it because of the name.
I have four elderly dogs.
So my biggest hobby in life is picking, is cleaning up dog pee.
What is elderly?
How old is elderly?
I have a Bassett hound who is 16 years old, which is twice the age of a normal Bassett.
Yeah, that's up there for sure.
And I've got two 12-year-olds and an 11-year-old mastiff.
So they're all quite old.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
They're all really old.
And are they all incontinent?
Is that what you're telling me?
They all pee every other day?
Really?
Absolutely.
You sure they're just not trained properly?
It's just no, no.
This is no.
Dogs don't pee when they're walking.
Okay.
So, yeah, my animals are getting much too old.
And diapers are, I'd be changing diapers all day.
So I just clean the floor constantly.
So this product is called My Pet Peed.
No, this has not been featured on the show.
I guarantee you.
I know.
My pet peed, the last word is P-E-E-D.
It removes pet stains and odors like it's magic.
It's safe around kids, around pets, around plants.
It gets the smell out.
It's fragrance-free.
It does not rely on enzymes.
What's it made of, this magic formula?
It's some strange type of hydrogen peroxide.
So it may take the color out of some natural fiber carpets, but for the most part, I don't care.
I want the smell out more than I don't care about coloring.
Your dogs are peeing on your carpet.
No, I've got washable carpets everywhere and rugs everywhere.
I have all hardwood floors or all new floors.
Now I know why John doesn't want to move up there.
It's obvious.
Is it pee?
Someday I'm going to fall.
I'm going to die because I'm going to fall on pet pee and I'll just be in the puddle.
Okay, nice visual.
Thank you.
We got it.
We got it.
You use it straight.
You use it sparingly.
It's expensive.
For a 32-ounce spray, it's $34.95.
The best deal on Amazon is a two-pack, which is $49.95.
I buy it by the gallon, 128 fluid ounces or Florida ounces.
And that's like $79, $80.
It works so well, though.
It lasts a while.
It really does.
get the smell out.
It gets stains out of carpets, you know, if they're color fast.
I use it constantly.
And I don't think I would be able to stand the smell of my house if I didn't use this stuff.
And I've tried everything on the market.
Can you also use it?
If you kill someone, they bleed out.
Does it get rid of that?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
It would.
You'd do a good job.
Yeah.
Or if you have, you know, a puky family.
Or for a good cleaning product, if you have like a really grimy place that you've forgotten to clean for years, you spray some of that on and you leave it for a couple hours, then you wipe it up, and it is beautiful.
Give us the name again of this fabulous product.
My Pet Pead.
My Pet Pead.
There it is, everybody.
A spooktacular tip of the day from Mamimi.
Greenbaster, you and me, just the chip with JCD.
Hamas Eighth Front 9-11 Warning00:05:32
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Bernetti.
Well, there you go.
Mimi, it has been a pleasure working with you.
It's been lovely, but it's way too much work for me.
No one's seen me in two weeks.
I'm like, I have to work.
I have to work.
And I'm still not good at it, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.
So next time John needs to fill in, I guess I could do it.
I really appreciate it.
It is above and beyond, and it's just been so great to get to know you a little bit better after all these years.
And the next time we talk, it'll be some crap about me getting you information for taxes.
So we got to do that too.
Yeah, don't remind me.
I'm so behind.
Tina's like, we're filing late, aren't we?
Probably.
Oh, yeah.
No, we've already filed late.
It's fine.
We've filed extensions for the business anyway.
Yeah.
Thank you very much, No Agenda Nation, for being with us.
Coming up next on the No Agenda stream, we have, oh, DH unplugged.
This will be with Horowitz and the young John Dvorak, which I hear he's done a really good job.
The whole family's been pitching him.
End of show mixes.
We've got, what do we have?
We have Professor Jay Jones.
We've got the Clip custodian and more.
And we'll be back on Sunday with the return of John Z. Dvorak.
Until then, adios mofos, a hooey hooey, and such.
I'm concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu.
The fact that he knew where Hamas was getting its money in 2018.
He refused to cut it off.
I'm concerned that he continued to prop Hamas up.
I'm concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu had Hamas' terrorist plans a year before the terrorist attacks and they did nothing.
After the attacks did nothing for six, seven, eight, ten hours.
They were ill-prepared.
I've never seen anything like it.
Are we really going to tie Israel's future up to this man and say if those of us who love Israel, those of us who were taught in Sunday school when we were five years on years, that we Jews are God's chosen people, Six million were slaughtered in the Holocaust.
Are we not allowed to question Benjamin Netanyahu's motives?
Because if not, that's pretty sick.
And it's not in Israel's best interest because all countries need allies.
Here is a group of people who we can use as the theoreticians and the executors of the U.S. policy that we want.
And Israel is an ally.
It's a fighting ally that pulls its weight.
America's landed aircraft carrier.
We're the junior partner.
We have fought now a seven front or we have an eighth front.
The infosphere is the eighth front.
And seizing the high ground in the fight for global public opinion is a battle.
He told these people, I think they're going to kill me.
Who is they?
Charlie writes in this group chat, just lost another huge Jewish donor.
Jewish donors play into all of the stereotypes.
I cannot and will not be bullied like this.
Reporters in Gaza are Palestinians, and those people fall into three categories.
Some of them identify with Hamas, some of them are intimidated.
And the third category is people who actually belong to Hamas.
The AP, like all of its sister organizations, collaborates with Hamas censorship in Gaza.
What does that mean?
The center of the coverage will be a number, a casualty number that is provided to the press by something called the Gaza Health Ministry, which is Hamas.
And it's a way of basically settling the story before you get into any other information.
General Michael Glynn calls out Net Yahoo and the Israeli military leadership for clearly standing down.
But the point is, and so these governments all need a boogeyman.
I'm your boogeyman.
Somebody had had a bunch of the troops stand down.

I'm your boogeyman.
