To The Moon Live 00:14:30
	To the moon, Alice.
	To the moon.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, April 2nd, 2026.
	This is your award winning Give On Nation Media Assassination, episode 1856.
	This is No Agenda.
	To the moon.
	And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number six.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Refinery Row up here in the North San Francisco Bay, I was going to say to the moon.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Bottom Buzzkill in the morning.
	We got to coordinate these.
	No, we can't coordinate these things.
	I was going to add Alice.
	Yeah, so throw in one of your trademark no one understands what JCD is talking about references.
	Exactly.
	Alice.
	Is that from the honeymooners from Jackie Gleason?
	Jackie Gleason.
	You remember?
	Barely.
	Barely.
	To the moon, Alice.
	To the moon.
	Was that how much he loved her?
	Is that what the deal was?
	No, that's what he's.
	He's threatening to punch her.
	No, he was not.
	What?
	What do you think it meant?
	No, he meant he loved her.
	He didn't want to punch her.
	Are you kidding me?
	He only said that when he was mad at her and he had his fist in a ball and he was swinging it around and he was going to say, to the moon one of these days.
	Well, it shows you this is exactly what I mean.
	No one understands these references.
	It's okay.
	I think they're suppressed.
	Well, they should be.
	It's completely misogynistic.
	You can't have that kind of stuff.
	Anymore.
	He never hit her.
	But this is the threat, and the threat is violence by itself.
	Yeah.
	Silences, too.
	So listen to this FOMER girl on NPR with the rocket going to the moon.
	NASA says the Artemis II moon mission is proceeding as scheduled following yesterday's launch of four astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
	NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce was there for liftoff.
	The rocket is just arcing up.
	Into the sky.
	There's a tremendous noise and just a bright bright, star-like, streaking star in the sky as it goes up and up.
	The sound was like physical you could feel your body shaking and there's a long straight cloud white cloud, coming down from the rocket which is still very visible high up in the blue sky.
	There's four astronauts on board and it's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing and it's just going up and up and up and we can still hear it.
	It's like a very loud flag flapping sound and all eyes are on this thing.
	That's NPR's now Greenfield BOYS, the Astro.
	I love her.
	Does she know that we have television these days?
	Does she know?
	I love the theater of the mind.
	You know, it's a flapping noise, and I can't believe they're on top of this thing, and there's a white trail behind it.
	Yeah, we're watching it on television, NPR girl.
	It was, yeah, well, there you go.
	There you go.
	There's a big rocket.
	It's a big rocket, and of course, they launched it on April Fool's Day.
	Looked pretty real to me, though.
	I'll be honest, I would have gone through a lot of work to make it not real.
	All those people witnessing it.
	You know, that thing's still not as big as Saturn V. I watched most of this coverage.
	The thing is huge, but Saturn V is still a few feet bigger.
	Well, it's not the size, it's in the motion of the ocean.
	And they're going to slingshot this thing around the moon.
	This is a big deal.
	I got a couple of clips.
	Do you have anything on the rocket?
	No, I didn't.
	No, it's just a.
	No, what was there to controversy?
	Well, you found something good.
	There's always something.
	Well, let's see.
	Yeah, I actually got Isaacman.
	He's the administrator of NASA.
	That guy with the ears?
	With that guy with the ears?
	He could fly to the moon just with his ears.
	Holy mackerel.
	Here he is.
	Hey, you know, this is serious, man.
	We're in a new space race for the moon base.
	So this is the opening episode, but you're going to start seeing launches to the moon almost on a monthly cadence.
	A lot of uncrewed vehicles are going to go there as we start to build out the moon base.
	You're going to see crewed vehicles with astronauts going at some point every year, eventually getting down to six months.
	Vehicle architecture will change until you've got repeatable, affordable missions going to and from the moon.
	Yeah, okay.
	And you know how they're going to do that?
	They have moon partners.
	I'd say we have demonstration missions, again, on the kind of peaceful civil side for doing on orbit boosting of satellites, on orbit refueling of satellites.
	In fact, our entire lunar strategy with our two moon partners that are building our lunar landers, SpaceX and Blue Origin, incorporates some degree of on orbit assembly or on orbit cryogenic.
	Prop transfer.
	These are going to be game changing capabilities for the United States.
	So we are moving in that direction for sure.
	It's a little entremont here.
	This came in this morning as the astronauts are talking to Houston, and they had a little bit of a problem they thought mission control could help them with.
	See that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working.
	If you want to remote in and check Optimus and those two Outlooks, that would be awesome.
	Why are they?
	What?
	Okay, wait, wait, stop the show.
	Clip of the day Microsoft Outlook crashes.
	I'm telling you.
	Clip of the day.
	Okay, I'll give you 10 points for that.
	The whole thing's worth it.
	Let's listen to that one more time.
	Yeah, go for it.
	And I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working.
	If you want to remote in and check, Optimism is to Outlook, so it would be awesome.
	Can you remote in?
	It's even worse than that.
	Just, yeah, just that's the worst.
	Remote in.
	I thought that was great.
	Okay, we're sending these guys to the moon and they're using Outlook.
	Like, I wonder if they're on, do you think they upgraded to Windows 11 so they have support?
	Are they better?
	Anyway, this whole thing is obviously about national security.
	When America returns to the moon, builds a moon base, That you know, returning to the moon this time to stay, it sends a message.
	It sends a message to every one of our adversaries, our geopolitical rivals around the world, of what we are capable of doing.
	It sends a message of what we're capable of doing across every one of the most important emerging technological domains.
	I will tell you, it is absolutely a race right now.
	Success and failure on the moon is going to be measured in months, not years.
	Success or failure is months, not years.
	And this, my friends, you may think we're just blowing money on rockets, blowing on a moon base.
	Uh uh.
	This is a critical piece.
	Of your golden dome.
	I I 100 believe that our adversaries, uh around the world, understand how important the high ground of space is and what our, our satellites are capable of doing, again from an observation and communication perspective, and they are doing everything they can to try and challenge it.
	That's where president Trump's golden dome comes in.
	We're building out even bigger constellations of satellites.
	We're going higher, we're going into cislunar space.
	We're sending American astronauts back to the moon.
	What cislunar space did?
	He did?
	I hear that correctly?
	It sounded like he said Cis.
	Cis, yes, what I heard.
	Like trans or cis.
	Cis, cis, lucrative.
	Some sort of sexual thing.
	Let me list that again.
	We're going into cislunar space.
	Yes, cislunar space.
	I wonder what's cis.
	I think we've looked this up.
	We have a couple of times.
	It never makes any sense, really.
	Well, let me hear it.
	We're going higher.
	We're going into cislunar space.
	We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base.
	Laugh tell.
	Laugh tell.
	We're going higher.
	We're going into cislunar space.
	We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build.
	Listen, listen, listen.
	You can hear the laugh tell.
	Listen.
	We're going higher.
	We're going into cislunar space.
	We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base.
	There's no doubt our adversaries are trying to counter our capabilities in space, but this is why President Trump signs a national space policy calling for the continuation of American superiority in the high ground of space.
	Cislunar space, the high ground of space.
	These are new terms.
	We should be learning these terms.
	That's the show title.
	Cislunar space?
	It's a little long.
	Or just Cislunar, maybe.
	Maybe.
	CBC had a bit here as we apparently are still racing the Chinese, and I think.
	Have the Chinese, have they only banged stuff into the moon?
	Have they crash landed or have they had anything land successfully?
	I don't know.
	I think all it is was the crash lands.
	I think they just crash landed.
	I think.
	For all the complexity, care, and frankly, rocket science that goes into this moment three, two, one booster ignition and lift off, there is little else it comes down to but the wonder of this moment.
	Just an integrity, good old fish.
	And how wonderful it is.
	Was to see years of planning and an estimated $93 billion pay off.
	Artemis 2, with humans on board, heads off to the moon.
	Today's successful launch is also a move that NASA's new administrator has been pushing for.
	Jared Isaacman has criticized the pace of this Artemis program for taking too long and showing too little.
	He recently revamped plans to get more missions going faster, even to establish a moon base before competitors like China can make progress.
	If there are constant Chinese missions, and rare American missions, what makes you think the language of space travel will be English?
	Dean Chang is a senior fellow with the Potomac Institute FOR Policy Studies.
	He sees China's persistence to go to the moon as a real challenge to the?
	U.s.
	With timelines, you can bet that they will move literally heaven and earth.
	To make sure that Chinese boots leave an impression on the lunar surface by december 31st 2030, humanity's next great voyage begins.
	Still, Artemis is the farthest Along.
	And if all goes well in days, these astronauts will be physically farther than any other crewed mission has ever gone, even as they know their job is to be the test case so humans can go even further.
	So, beside the endless articles about the color of their spacesuits, it's orange.
	This whole thing really does seem to have a China angle to it, which I didn't expect that.
	Or at least there wasn't a lot of that in the preamble.
	I thought so.
	You thought there was a lot of China angle?
	Yeah, I thought the whole thing was about China.
	I was always convinced that if China hadn't been threatening to land a man on the moon, we wouldn't do this at all.
	It's too expensive.
	Hey, man, it's a part of the Golden Dome.
	One more clip.
	This is from CNN, again, about China and the new lunar economy.
	Back 50 plus years ago, the first mission to the moon, that was a space race with Russia.
	Today, the race is really with China.
	How much.
	Doesn't Russia still make our engines?
	I know Elon makes them now.
	No.
	Oh, okay.
	But they do.
	I mean, you can still buy the Russian engines.
	I think we buy some.
	They never said who made these engines.
	Well, maybe we should buy them.
	I'm guessing Elon's company.
	Maybe we should buy a few of these engines.
	Maybe not.
	The space race is really with China.
	How much has China's own space race fueled this push to get back to the moon?
	Right, absolutely.
	I would say it's a major factor.
	Right, absolutely.
	I think so.
	We're listening in.
	Back to the moon.
	Right, absolutely.
	I would say it's a major.
	Right, absolutely.
	It's more like a Ra'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a' Build a base on the moon.
	So the United States is stepping up to that challenge and saying we want to build one too.
	So the big question here maybe isn't who lands on the moon first again, but maybe who gets to that lunar base and establishing a new lunar economy, as NASA likes to say.
	And China is certainly driving that.
	We'll see.
	Lunar economy.
	Lunar economy.
	Tina was having none of it.
	She says, Dave, but lower my gas prices.
	I don't care about what we do with the lunar economy.
	I think that's it.
	It wasn't the same.
	The media made some excitement about it when they were getting onto the into the into the capsule, but there wasn't a lot.
	You know, are people that excited anymore the way we were?
	No, it doesn't look that way.
	But when they showed the crowd at Kennedy, there's a bunch of little kids who watched it and they're all excited.
	So maybe, you know, it was just us being old.
	Speak for yourself, Tonto.
	Hey.
	Hey, you're going to be a year older.
	I've got a birthday coming up.
	On the 5th?
	The 5th?
	That should be.
	Is that a show day?
	It's not a show day, is it?
	It's Easter Sunday.
	Oh, wow.
	You celebrate on Easter Sunday?
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's great.
	Isn't it?
	Yeah.
	It happens about once every 12 years.
	Wow.
	Yeah, I didn't realize that.
	Easter kind of snuck up on me as well.
	It's not the same.
Decisive Upcoming Days 00:17:07
	How do they plan that?
	I should know this, I guess.
	Is that the Hebrew calendar?
	Is that why it's so consistent?
	That's a good question.
	Because I've been baffled by it by myself.
	Sometimes it's March, sometimes it's here.
	You know, sometimes July 4th.
	I mean, it's all over the place.
	I've never been on July 4th.
	No, it's never been that.
	I have a feeling.
	I think it's the Hebrew calendar, but it just snuck up on me.
	We should, you know, is the robot operating?
	The robot, well, you mean is the robot talk operating?
	I don't have her in talk mode.
	And, you know, I'm on Linux now.
	She's not compatible.
	I can get her working for Sunday.
	I don't want to delay the show.
	We shouldn't be guessing.
	We should be.
	We're right here with computers in front of both of us.
	Well, we have, I mean, of course, I can ask my, let me, okay.
	How is Easter Sunday determined?
	Okay.
	All right.
	All right.
	Let's see what she says.
	And the robot says, is calculating.
	I need to put you in fast mode, robot.
	See, this is the problem.
	If you don't, okay.
	Oh, it's the vernal equinox.
	Ah.
	And the paschal full moon and.
	The next Sunday.
	So it has S.
	Oh man, this is complicated.
	Yeah.
	So it is calendar based, it's moon based.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Well, there you go.
	That was riveting.
	I'm glad we figured that out.
	Well, at least we Hebrew calendar.
	Yeah.
	Hebrew calendar.
	So what you got?
	I'll.
	I got my typical.
	I'm keeping, I'm documenting my thesis that Trump's just going to pull out.
	Oh, I think you're right.
	I've seen.
	I've seen enough.
	In fact, I have a few.
	I have a few clips, but what I'm hearing now is hey, you know, we're going to wait for them to make a deal and then we're going to, you know what?
	We don't need the Hormuz Straits.
	Let France take care of it.
	Yeah, that's what I'm here with.
	Yeah.
	So I've got variations on the theme here with a bunch of Iran clips, which are scattered throughout the list.
	So I'm going to have to give them to you individually.
	Try this one Crazy John Carl.
	Okay.
	Tonight, with Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz causing oil prices to soar around the world, President Trump is urging America's allies to, quote, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait and just take it.
	In a phone call, the president told me of our allies.
	They can police it themselves.
	Why should I do it for them?
	They weren't there for me.
	The president is suggesting that America's allies should be there to help, even though they didn't start the war.
	France, Spain, and Italy have all expressed reluctance to get involved.
	The president has acknowledged he was elected on a promise to bring down the cost of living.
	But today he told me the booming stock market before the war made it a good time to do it.
	Trump insists the oil prices are going to go down.
	He has threatened if Iran doesn't immediately open the strait, he will be, quote, blowing up and completely obliterating their civilian infrastructure, including power plants and water systems.
	He also says the U.S. and Iran are talking, telling me we have regime change, and this group is much more moderate and much more reasonable.
	The president says his team has been talking with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Ghalibaf.
	Speaker Ghalibaf has been jabbing the president on social media.
	He's toned it down a lot, Trump told me.
	He's much better.
	The president then adding ominously, We know where he lives.
	Let's put it that way.
	I found Cuba, the president telling me, Cuba's gone.
	When I asked him if he was talking about a military operation against Cuba, Trump said, I can't tell you that.
	I trust you implicitly, but I can't tell you.
	This Cuba thing kind of bothers me.
	Cuba's gone.
	What's he talking about?
	Does the Cuba thing bother you at all?
	What do you mean?
	Does it bother me?
	Like, do I wake up in a cold sweat?
	Yeah, in a cold sweat saying, What the hell are they doing to Cuba?
	I mean, it's just out of the blue.
	What do you mean?
	Did they let some oil in there?
	No, they didn't let any oil in there.
	Yeah, they let the Russians unload a whole tanker of oil.
	No, that's nice.
	No, I'm not bothered by that.
	They got some oil.
	You know, the press is.
	Okay, let's go on with this with the thesis.
	Here's ABC.
	This one's ABCWNT.
	U.S. bombs key site.
	Tonight, massive explosions ripping through this military complex in Iran.
	Flaming debris shooting into the air.
	An official telling ABC News the U.S. struck an ammunition storage facility in Isfahan, dropping multiple 2,000-pound bunker-busting bombs.
	For the first time in this war, the Pentagon now saying B-52 bombers are flying deep over Iranian territory.
	And tonight, Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the battle is moving into a decisive phase.
	The upcoming days will be decisive.
	Iran knows that, and there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it.
	Yes, they will still shoot some missiles, but we will shoot them down.
	Tonight, a third aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, departing for the Middle East with 4,500 sailors aboard.
	Families emotional.
	I'm just trying to be strong for him.
	It's really hard being away from someone like that.
	Iran still wreaking havoc.
	New images of an oil tanker hit by an Iranian drone near Dubai.
	punching a hole in the ship, sparking a fire on board.
	And tonight, an Iran-backed militia accused of kidnapping an American journalist in Baghdad.
	Iraqi officials confirming this chilling video shows the moment Shelly Kittleson was forced into a car and taken.
	Authorities arresting at least one suspect as an urgent search intensifies.
	David, the State Department with a new warning tonight for Americans in Saudi Arabia about threats to places where they gather, like schools and hotels.
	This as Iran threatens to attack American corporate facilities across the region.
	Yeah, can I play a clip to add to your thesis?
	Play all the clips you want.
	All right.
	This is, here's the president talking about leaving Iran very, very, very soon.
	I would say that within two weeks, maybe?
	Two weeks?
	Maybe three?
	Maybe three.
	We're hitting them very hard last night.
	We knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities, as you probably read.
	Yeah, I read it.
	I wrote it.
	We knocked out.
	Excuse me?
	Pardon me for interrupting.
	The U.S. will be gone or done with the war.
	I think with two or three weeks.
	Not three weeks.
	If it is.
	We'll leave.
	Because there's no reason for us to do this.
	Look.
	Problem with the Strait, a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water, and say, oh, it's unsafe.
	It's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out a country.
	He can drop it.
	Or he can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a few bullets at a ship.
	Or maybe an over-the-shoulder missile, small missiles.
	He doesn't really know much about military gear, does he?
	That's not for us.
	Ad-libbing.
	That'll be for France.
	France.
	That'll be for whoever's using the Strait.
	But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up.
	Today, I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through.
	Tremendous.
	We're negotiating with them right now.
	They've been, again, we have had regime change.
	Now, regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal.
	I had one goal they will have no nuclear weapon.
	And that goal has been attained.
	They will not have nuclear weapons.
	But we're finishing the job.
	And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job.
	But we want to knock out every single thing they have.
	Now, it's possible that we'll make a Deal before that, because we'll hit bridges and we've hit some bridges.
	A couple of nice bridges in mind.
	We'll hit some bridges.
	But if they come to the table, that'll be good.
	We have some nice bridges in mind.
	The bridge's too far.
	It's possible that we'll make a deal before that, because we'll hit bridges and we've hit some bridges.
	A couple of nice bridges in mind.
	But if they come to the table, that'll be good.
	But it doesn't matter whether they come or not.
	We've set them back.
	It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them.
	I got to tell you, I'm disappointed because I thought the whole plan was to control the Straits of Hormuz to be the financier of the shipping and the insurance.
	And now it's like, you know, France deal with it.
	It doesn't sound.
	I think they got the writings on the wall.
	They can't do it.
	They're at a position right now where they've done enough damage.
	I think they're only hanging around.
	This is my thesis, of course.
	They're only hanging around.
	Yeah.
	They're only hanging around because they're hoping.
	To God, that they can find that 600 pounds of uranium that enriched uranium.
	Uranium dust, as the president calls it.
	Whatever.
	Nuclear dust.
	He calls it nuclear dust.
	But there's a bunch of it.
	They think they can grab it.
	That was their great hope.
	And I think they're going to say, well, it's disappeared.
	We're going to have to put Mossad in there later.
	Maybe they can find it.
	We'll come back.
	But we can't stay here any longer because everyone's irked at us.
	But we can still blame them for not helping us.
	When we leave, I think that's going to be the kicker.
	When he leaves, he's going to say, Well, you know, we would have stayed, but.
	Yeah, I got some of those, but maybe you want to do your.
	No, Louis, you got some good questions.
	Oh, I've got.
	Yes.
	First of all, let's do a boots on the ground from the region from our producer there.
	He says, Alive and kicking.
	My military guys, they're like, That guy, your informant, he's full of BS.
	Okay.
	I have a feeling that maybe the military results are not as rosy as the president.
	Well, I mean, when they start showing you the videos on network TV of a truck being blowed up, come on.
	He says, alive and kicking, just amazed by the number of quote, analysts and quote, experts discussing the quote, detailed plans which are conveniently leaked through WAPO, New York Post, and every single major paper.
	On the exact approach and step by step ground operation to seize the islands or retrieve enriched uranium stockpiles.
	The end of this seems near.
	Pakistan is taking a dual role here to manage the negotiation process, and China will step in as guarantor with actual skin in the game.
	The problem is how do we deal with a militarized, angry, and vengeful Iran that guarantees they won't aggressively rebuild and go all in?
	Some voices in the region think that we need to take the chemotherapy approach and keep hitting until the entire regime collapses.
	Which is aligned to the Israeli approach, but the issue is at what cost?
	Do we have enough interception capabilities?
	Can we expose ourselves to such hardships, short and long term?
	Other voices believe that the regime already collapsed, but the war itself is what keeps it fighting for survival.
	And what happened to the initial decapitation event was a military coup by the IRGC, which picked a dead or nearly dead puppet as a token for the Islamic Republic idea.
	There could be voices that will push the country towards a softer Islamic Republic with a cute supreme leader.
	Or towards a more pragmatic, politically savvy bureaucracy.
	Iranian people are extremely smart with a wide range of political ideologies.
	Once sanctions are dropped, the regime could fall through Instagram or TikTok.
	I agree.
	That wouldn't surprise me, to be honest about it.
	Couldn't, wouldn't be surprising.
	Okay, so NATO, yes, you are completely right.
	The president has been lashing out, according to France 24.
	And I've always said NATO's a paper tiger.
	And I've always said we help NATO, but they'll never help us.
	From jabs and scoldings to thinly veiled threats and angry outbursts, over the last few weeks, Donald Trump hasn't been shy in his criticism for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
	A longtime NATO skeptic, the U.S. president has now ramped up his rhetoric. telling British newspaper The Telegraph that he was strongly considering pulling the United States out of the alliance.
	Trump says NATO isn't doing enough to help the U.S. in its war with Iran, particularly when it comes to securing the Strait of Hormuz.
	A fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas would normally flow through the narrow waterway, but Iran has virtually closed it since the start of hostilities on February 28, causing global oil and gas prices to soar.
	When asked about Trump's comments on Tuesday, the British Prime Minister stood up for NATO and reiterated his promise not to get dragged into the war.
	NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen.
	And it has kept us safe for many decades.
	Whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise, I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make.
	Okay.
	So they're still kind of staying at arm's length, and they sent over our boy.
	To help ease the pain a little bit.
	Mark Ritter showing up on the Fox News.
	All right, I want to start with some criticism.
	You know, the president has been sharply addressing what he sees as NATO's failures in this current situation.
	Here's what he said in the Oval Office earlier this week 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.
	Yeah, what's up?
	So NATO's making a foolish mistake.
	Don't we really run NATO?
	This whole thing is a charade.
	Well, it's not about NATO.
	It's about the EU.
	Screw those guys.
	That's what he's saying.
	Yeah, it's about the EU.
	But I think NATO is just a.
	This is a.
	Yeah, smokescreen.
	It's a code.
	And you got his buddy Ruta.
	Yeah, Ruta's a fake.
	Yeah, duh.
	Listen to it.
	Wait until you hear what he's saying.
	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.
	Have you talked with the president?
	I know that you guys have had a good relationship.
	Yes, we have, and we talked several times this week.
	But before I get there, let me.
	Before I get there, let me stay here for a moment.
	Let me say something which is top of the show, top of mind.
	Just say at the top of our interview that my thoughts and prayers are obviously with men and women in uniform who are at this moment fighting to make the world more secure and implement the president's vision of making sure Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear facility, a nuclear capability, and a ballistic missile capability.
	Yes, we cannot have that at all.
	But don't worry, we are coming with 22 nations.
	I know the president was angry because he feels that European and other allies have been too slow.
	The good news here is that since Thursday, a group of 22 countries, most of them from NATO, but also Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE, and Bahrain, most of the other countries from NATO, coming together to implement his vision of making sure that the Strait of Hormuz. Is free, is opening up as soon as that is possible.
	So we are now planning the military people and others.
	The military people!
	This group of 22 nations and with the US.
	When can we do that?
	What is needed?
	And how should we do this?
	Okay, well, let me tell you.
	So the 22 nations that are not included in this coalition are NATO members Turkey, Greece, Poland, Belgium, and Hungary.
	So, those they're not participating, and even though France, Italy, Spain are participating, Spain closed their airspace to us.
	Italy denied bombers use of the air base in Sicily, and France has refused territory for military operations as well.
	Those in the coalition who are not NATO members Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain.
	And Rubio is the one who's going out to explain this on behalf of the president.
	He had a Long interview with Sean Hannity.
Reexamining NATO Ties 00:08:25
	Sean, I've been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during my time as a United States Senator because I found great value in it.
	It wasn't just about defending Europe.
	I said it also allowed us to have military bases in Europe that allowed us to project power into different parts of the world when our national security was threatened.
	If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases, that in fact, that we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one way street.
	Then NATO is simply about us having troops.
	In Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help, not their help, we're not asking them to conduct airstrikes.
	When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no, then why are we in NATO?
	Why are we in NATO?
	That's a good question.
	I think we should re examine after the war is over.
	So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to re examine that relationship.
	We're going to have to re examine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country.
	Ultimately, that's a.
	Honey, NATO, we've got to talk.
	Decision for the president to make, and he'll have to make it.
	We're going to finish the job here.
	As I said, we're very, very close to achieving our objectives on all of these things that I've outlined.
	But I do think, unfortunately, we are going to have to re examine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while is still serving that purpose, or is it now become a one way street where America is simply in a position to defend Europe, but when we need the help of our allies, they're going to deny us basing rights and they're going to deny us overflight?
	Yeah.
	So it's just screw you guys.
	That's what it is.
	But yes, we are NATO.
	So I'm sure you saw the president last night on his national broadcast.
	Yep.
	I thought it was very weak.
	It was terrible.
	And this was perhaps the worst.
	I don't know who advised him on this.
	That sounds like something.
	Oh, I got to tell people this.
	This was the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
	It's very important that we keep this conflict in perspective.
	American involvement in World War I lasted one year, seven months, and five days.
	World War II lasted for three years, eight months, and 25 days.
	The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days.
	The Vietnam War lasted for 19 years, five months, and 29 days.
	Iraq went on for eight years, eight months, and 28 days.
	We are in this military operation.
	So powerful, so brilliant against one of the most powerful countries for 32 days.
	What is the point of that?
	All you're doing is reminding people that this could last forever.
	Interesting that you interpreted it that way.
	I didn't think of it that way, but you're right.
	That's why he's going to have to get out within the next week or two.
	Well, that's what he's saying.
	Two weeks, three weeks, a couple days.
	We'll be out of here tomorrow.
	He's got to just, you know, the problem, he thinks he set it up.
	He's a little concerned that, because, you know, Iran's going to claim victory no matter what happens.
	And he doesn't like that idea.
	And he's worried about the political implications about going in and rubberizing and just leaving.
	That's great.
	And so I think he's shaky.
	Hmm.
	He wants to get out, like Senator John Kennedy said.
	Why are we there now?
	We've done what we had to do.
	Let's get out.
	Kennedy's aware of this going on more than any other senator.
	And I think Trump.
	Just can't pull the trigger, or the military guys want to test more gear, or who knows what.
	Oh, well, they always want to do that.
	Definitely.
	He reiterated that regime change was not the goal, which, okay, not explicitly, but he keeps talking about it.
	Not our goal.
	We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' deaths.
	They're all dead.
	The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.
	And we still don't know who the new group is.
	That's.
	Well, the head of the parliament is one of them.
	Yeah, well, there's that foreign minister guy who's on.
	Yeah, that guy, Baghdad Bob.
	He's on X all the time.
	Baghdad Bob.
	Yeah.
	And then.
	We're not talking.
	We don't know what he's talking about.
	We're not talking to anybody.
	We're winning this thing.
	And then Rubio is sent out.
	And he almost did a podcast, you know, like a scripted thing.
	Let me just tell you, let me tell you why we did this.
	This is very important.
	I'm Marco Rubio.
	Many Americans are asking, why did the United States have to attack Iran now?
	Well, let me explain.
	Please.
	Iran wants to have nuclear weapons, of that, there is zero doubt.
	If what they truly wanted, which is what they claim, is nuclear energy, well, they could have nuclear energy like all the other countries in the world have it.
	And that is, you import the fuel and you build reactors above ground.
	That's not what Iran has done.
	They build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains away from the public glare.
	And they want to enrich that material.
	The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy, they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade.
	So it is clear that they've been offered every opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows them to have energy, not weapons.
	And every single time they have turned it down.
	But why the attack now?
	Well, what was Iran trying to do?
	Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles.
	have so many drones that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way.
	We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future.
	That was an intolerable risk.
	Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons.
	And under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about.
	Okay, nice podcast.
	Whatever.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, Iran is now formalizing the toll road.
	Yeah, that's not going to last.
	Well, it's illegal.
	France 24 doesn't think it's going to happen at all, but here it is.
	Iran's National Security Committee has approved a bill that would impose these fees on the Strait of Hormuz.
	That's according to the Iranian Fars news agency.
	And Iran has written to the International Maritime Organization saying it has to check the ships going through on the grounds of self defense and that these checks will generate costs, thus, the tolls.
	But for shippers, there are many questions lingering on whether paying those fiends.
	Those fees would mean going against existing international sanctions leveled at Iran.
	So, even if Iran formalizes it, it's unlikely to be accepted by other countries.
	Although, right now, there does not seem to be really other options to go across.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I don't think that's going to happen.
	But the UK is now the center of the 35 countries who will be on the committee, I think, to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
	So, they're trying to do that.
	Oh, a committee.
	Yeah, they're trying.
	Steering committee.
	They're trying to do something.
	Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is headed to the UK.
	She will join multi nation talks on finding diplomatic options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz trade corridor.
	The meeting was called by the UK government today.
	Anand says Canada will not hesitate to help secure the Strait, but only if there is a ceasefire.
	The Liberal government has not yet decided on specific measures.
	It's Canada.
	It's what?
	You said.
	It's the UK, it's Canada.
	I thought everyone's meeting in the UK.
Gender Equity Card 00:11:18
	Did I?
	No.
	I thought maybe.
	I know what she's talking about, Canada.
	Can I take a trip aside here?
	Yeah.
	Just a little step aside.
	Canada is nuts.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Jeez.
	I want to put this from a couple of days ago.
	Leading the National, I've decided I'm going to start following the CBC now.
	The National, which is a pretty good news.
	Presentation.
	It's their premiere, you know, the nightly news.
	It's their, yeah, it's their Tom Broke jaw.
	Yeah, Broke.
	Hang in there.
	Hang in there.
	You can do it.
	Don't do that.
	Don't do that.
	What, don't make you laugh?
	Is that the problem?
	Yes, do not make me laugh.
	Okay.
	So, Canada, this is the first I'm going to play the teaser and then the story, and then you tell me this is not nuts.
	Canada, scandal, the national.
	Tonight, anger across Quebec after the message of condolence from the head of Air Canada was in English only.
	When you've been living in Quebec for 15, 20 years, you should be able to speak the language.
	Why, it is not the first time Michael Rousseau has faced calls for an apology or resignation.
	Is it because he only did it in English and not in French?
	This is the CEO of an airline.
	He's not a politician, he has to speak in both languages all the time.
	You know, because of the Quebecers who are trying to, they're going to do a breakaway move again one more time, which we haven't talked about on the show at all.
	It's heating up, I hear.
	Yeah, it's supposed to be heating up a lot.
	And this may be part of it.
	But so, and then they go into the story.
	Here it is Air Canada's CEO is facing intense backlash tonight, including calls for his resignation after his message of condolence to the victims of the crash at LaGuardia Airport was delivered only in English.
	Michael Rousseau spoke just two French words in nearly four minutes.
	The plane, which took off from Montreal, crashed into a fire truck on the runway, killing both pilots, Antoine Foray and Mackenzie Gunter.
	Foray was a French speaker from Quebec.
	Criticism has been especially sharp in that province.
	As Sarah Levitt tells us, this isn't the first time Rousseau has faced scrutiny for not speaking French.
	Air Canada already had a terrible human tragedy to deal with following the crash at LaGuardia Airport, which destroyed many pilots and injured many passengers.
	But the way it's partly handled that has created a political crisis.
	Bonjour.
	That, along with this, were the only two French words spoken by Michael Rousseau in a video released after the crash.
	That's put the Air Canada CEO in hot water, particularly in Quebec.
	One of the plane's pilots, Antoine Foray, was a francophone from the province.
	Francophone.
	Asking him to quit his job right now.
	For sure, he should apologize.
	Air Canada should ask him to resign.
	In an interview with Radio Canada.
	Air Canada's VP of Communications apologized on behalf of the airline and said that despite years of lessons, Rousseau's French was not good enough to discuss such a serious matter.
	The airline is subject to the Official Languages Act and now Rousseau has been summoned to Ottawa to explain himself in front of the Official Languages Committee.
	It's also earned him an admonishment from the Prime Minister.
	It doesn't matter the circumstance, but particularly in these circumstances, lack of judgment and lack of compassion.
	Yeah, Canada.
	You've kind of ripped us away from Iran, Hormuz Straits, et cetera.
	But since you're moving to Canada, I don't know if you saw any of these.
	Well, I'm sorry I did that, but that was eating at me, these clips.
	No, it's okay.
	But we're going to play this.
	Can I play my Canada girl?
	Oh, it's probably the same girl I have.
	Oh, really?
	You think so?
	I'm just guessing, yeah.
	Oh, maybe not.
	Here's your Canada girl.
	Hello.
	I'm a Canadian living in the United States.
	I just have a really quick question.
	Are you aware of what's actually happening in your own country?
	Now, one of the things that I like to do around here is I like to do research before I speak.
	So I just went ahead and I made you a couple notes.
	So please allow me to explain to you what literally just happened.
	Yes.
	So this woman is ill.
	I'll just point that out that this is what you're doing with your life on the TikTok or wherever you got there.
	Probably this is more like an Instagram lady, it sounds like.
	Was TikTok or Instagram?
	It makes no difference.
	There's a difference.
	Yeah, there's a difference.
	In Canada, okay, there were four public safety bills and they were all voted down.
	So, there's one called Bill C 246.
	Have you heard of it?
	If not, that's okay, I'll sum it up for you.
	So, it would have made sure that sexual predators serve time for each victim, not a bulk discount, okay?
	That was voted down.
	Did you hear about Bill C 220?
	No.
	Okay, if not, that's okay, I'm here to help you.
	It would have stopped lighter sentences for rapists and child predators just because deportation might happen after.
	That was voted down, okay?
	Did you hear about Bill C 243?
	If not, it's fine.
	I'm here for you.
	It would have protected victims from having to relive their trauma at parole hearings over and over and over again.
	Wait a minute.
	Just let me understand.
	So she lives in America and she's telling Canadians that they live in a horrible country?
	Is that what she's doing?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	The victims actually begged for this.
	It was voted down.
	Did you hear about Bill C 242?
	No.
	If not, once again, I'm here to help you.
	The Jail Not Bail Act?
	Okay.
	Well, that targeted repeat offenders cycling in and out of the system.
	And that was voted down too.
	And you know what?
	Can I just give you a little big picture here, really quickly?
	I have the time.
	So before you talk about avoiding America, can you talk about what's happening at home?
	Violent crime has risen significantly over the past decade, okay?
	Our theft is at record highs.
	Do you like your vehicle?
	How about the collapsing healthcare system?
	Millions of Canadians still don't have a family doctor or access to one.
	Housing is completely unaffordable.
	Food bank usage is at record highs.
	The catch and release policies are frustrating even law enforcement.
	Your own prime minister said, That you will need to make sacrifices and suffer.
	And those were his words, not mine.
	Where I'm from, my tiny little town has four homeless encampments.
	Four.
	But sure, America's the problem, right?
	Can you do me one really big favor?
	Really?
	Just turn the TV off, just for a day.
	United States is not this dystopian nightmare that you're being sold, okay?
	And Canada is not this flawless utopia that you pretend it is.
	Oh, give that woman a green card.
	All right.
	Welcome to America, lady.
	Get off Instagram.
	We got people in the troll room saying, This show is single handedly making me hate women.
	Yeah, I guess.
	So I have a Canadian clip, Canadian lady.
	Well, questionable whether it's a Canadian lady or what it is.
	I think a non binary conforming thing.
	Did you see any of the footage from the NDP convention?
	Oh, yeah, I saw all of it.
	I just had to pull at least one clip.
	This, we want you to tell people what the NDP is National Democrat Party.
	Yes.
	Canadians, it's communists.
	It's communists, yes.
	And communists, we've seen this before.
	This is the kind of groups that get together, and you can't clap, you have to snap your fingers.
	Yes, you have to ask for a point of privilege.
	You got to do this and that.
	Nothing ever gets done.
	Everybody's a freak.
	What is the type of being on Star Trek?
	Quark?
	What was Quark's race?
	Was it Quark?
	Ferengi.
	Ferengi.
	So this lady looks like a Ferengi.
	The host is the one that's.
	Yes, she's the moderator.
	The podium girl.
	The podium thing.
	And people are in line and they have different colored equity cards.
	And these equity cards, from what I understand.
	Who came up with this idea?
	I've never seen this one before.
	I love it.
	So, you have an equity card, and I think you have a yellow one or a red one, and that means you can move ahead in the line.
	And it's all based on privilege and underprivilege.
	Underprivileged, most of it.
	And this one clip just kind of sums it up.
	There's a point of privilege on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three.
	Go ahead, delegate.
	Hey, what happened to microphone two?
	You're discriminating?
	Yes.
	Hello.
	I was standing here with my gender equity card.
	She has a yellow gender equity card.
	Before you called on the previous speaker.
	And she's wearing a kifiyeh over her shoulder.
	She's all for policy.
	She had a gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker.
	That's my point of privilege that I would like to.
	I will explain the speaking order, which is.
	So, okay, if I understand, she's mad because she had a point of privilege card, a yellow one, which is not the same as a red one, because the black lady gets a red one.
	You'll hear from her in a minute.
	And so she was mad that she had a gender equity card and was not called on before you called on the previous speaker.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	The irony of this clip is she's at the mic.
	She wasn't called on.
	You're being called on now.
	What more do you want?
	I'm mad about that.
	My gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker.
	That's my point of privilege that I would like to.
	I will explain the speaking order, which is fixed, that I cannot amend, which is the pro con rotation.
	Pro con.
	You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in.
	I am pro, and I was.
	We went pro con.
	We went pro con.
	Pro, and my plan was to go con.
	Speaker, Economic Three also has a speaking card.
	Yesterday, this card.
	Now, she has a, looks like a pink card, a black woman with a white face mask.
	Was used in an inappropriate matter.
	And while I understand in Ontario we know this is equity, even if that, this was also used inappropriately in terms of gender.
	I want everyone to be mindful that these cards, for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman, have no value outside of this space.
	I love that she identifies as a Black woman because she's a Black woman.
	It's amazing.
	This is fantastic.
	It's just, and this kind of brings me to No Kings Day.
	Can I do a transverse clip?
	Kind of a crossover clip that there was an interview on Man on the Street at No King's Day regarding Hormuz?
	We both have this clip.
	You got it too.
	Yeah, yes.
	Okay, yes.
	This is an interview in the crowd.
	Man on the Street.
	Man on the Street.
	And I think this guy's a comedian, so he's doing a good job here for humanity.
	And it's a little muffled, but you'll hear he is talking about the Straits of.
No Kings Day Clip 00:15:22
	Of Hormuz.
	Isn't it a little bit homophobic that we're so focused on the straights of Hormuz and not the gays of Hormuz?
	I agree.
	Yes, for sure.
	Yeah.
	I agree.
	Why do you think they're willing to leave the gays of Hormuz behind?
	I think it's just history, historically, like, you know, gays have always been very discriminated against, which is wrong on so many levels.
	Even in war.
	Yeah, even in war.
	And it just takes, I think, more, what is it, like more.
	Form in government, obviously, and then also educating society.
	So, the gaze of Homuz, we could turn it into Fire Island.
	For sure, for sure.
	That's the new Borat, as far as I'm concerned.
	That guy, he needs to do more of this.
	Yeah.
	And so, I got a lot of Fox clips for some reason.
	The Fox, I don't know if this is the morning show, I can't remember.
	They brought on a psychiatrist to talk about No Kings and why people are going there.
	And what it's doing for them.
	You say that this is essentially bad group therapy.
	Explain.
	It really does look a lot like bad group therapy.
	We have people on the streets across America.
	They're venting.
	They're getting validation from their fellow rally goers.
	So it all feels very good in the moment.
	Is there a reason why the left is more distressed than the right?
	Well, maybe they have more to be distressed about these days.
	Not happy with Trump winning.
	We have grievance culture run wild.
	The left, for the most part, loves to hate.
	And whether it's a CEO of a healthcare company or billionaires or a politician, the culture is grievance culture.
	But is there something a little bit more serious underlying all of this that we should be actually concerned about?
	Well, we should be.
	And if people are so hyper focused on a political figure and they're not able to enjoy life, As a mental health professional, that's a huge problem that I see.
	I've had people over the years who couldn't enjoy their vacation because they were so fixated on Donald Trump.
	They just said to me, How can I possibly go on vacation knowing that he's in office?
	So we really should be concerned about this.
	I think that's true.
	I think people are really so upset.
	And I see, you know, they say so.
	They do.
	Yeah, something's wrong with them.
	And you drive to Austin, we have to go over 290, and you go through a dripping spring.
	or the drip, as we call it.
	And there's older people, so older than me, 70s, and they're always at this one main intersection.
	And they're always day in, day out, rain or shine, no kings.
	We hate Trump, down with Trump.
	Yeah.
	No, we have that.
	Okay.
	In Berkeley, over the two, there's three overpasses in the Berkeley area.
	One's a walking bicycle thing over the freeway, and one's the big road, and there's another one.
	Ever since the first No Kings, there have been people up there with various signs.
	They come and they go.
	The signs come and change.
	And they're just up there all the time.
	Honk if you hate Trump.
	Yeah, honk.
	Yeah, honk if you hate Trump.
	They do that in the drip as well.
	And I don't know.
	It's like, it's not the most important thing in your life.
	It shouldn't be.
	This is our overall general problem in America.
	Politics has just become the most important national politics, not even your local politics.
	I mean, we have a mayoral election.
	Unfortunately, I can't run, as you know.
	What do you mean?
	I don't live in Fredericksburg.
	I live in the county.
	Oh, that's right, your county.
	Unincorporated.
	Yeah, I'm in Glasgow.
	I could run for sheriff or I could run for comptroller.
	That's a job, comptroller.
	That's the job you want.
	But if you walk down Main Street and say, what about Trump?
	I want to have an opinion.
	You say, what about Randy Briley?
	Who?
	No one knows that there's even a mayoral election going on.
	So it's, and in fact, this psychiatrist continues here in a second clip that politics has become the new national religion.
	How much of what you're seeing on the left has to do with replacing, like, you know, liberalism also goes hand in hand with a lot of secularism and sort of, so could they be replacing that spiritual, religious, Part with politics.
	And so then it ends up not being very satisfying.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	In some ways, politics has become the new religion.
	Yeah.
	And so, you know, I covered just a few days ago, this past week, when President Trump had the Japanese prime minister at the White House, Sonny Takeichi, he made a joke about Pearl Harbor.
	And everyone on the left, in the left media and left politicians, lost their minds.
	It was clearly a joke.
	Like, are we at the point now where people are suffering so bad from TDS, like they can't even get a joke?
	Well, I also thought it was funny, but a lot of people didn't think it was funny.
	You know, they're just so fixated looking for things that Trump can do wrong.
	And I've long said that Trump could cure cancer, and people find a problem with that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He said that, actually.
	Exactly.
	Jonathan, come back and see us because I think we're going to need more therapy.
	I love this segment.
	Okay, stupid fox.
	Now, if you think it's only people on the left in America who are crazy or nuts, nuts are fast.
	Lindsey Graham.
	Lindsey Graham is under attack.
	Since evidently there's nothing for a senator to do in these trying times, Lindsey Graham decided to go be where the people are down in Disneyland, which he went to and had a good old time with.
	And there's been a lot of great photos that have come out of this, but I think by far my favorite is this one.
	I don't know exactly where he's at right there, but I do know what he's holding.
	That is a Princess Ariel bubble wand.
	And do you know how I know that?
	Because I own a Princess Ariel bubble wand.
	Well, technically, my daughter Raina does because I bought it for her.
	It's a big wand with a kid's mermaid on it that plays kid music and bubbles come out of it.
	And Lindsey Graham is walking around with it.
	Now, Lindsey Graham is childless and single.
	He was not there with his kids.
	I have not seen any evidence that he was there with anyone's kids.
	Now, if you were there with your friends' kids, your, I don't know, your brothers and sisters' kids, maybe you buy them the Ariel bubble wand.
	But as of right now, the only explanation is that he saw a bubble wand with Ariel on and he had to have it.
	Is he just that big of a fan of Ariel?
	I do think that he is a little bit more.
	Personally, he's anxious about that image than he wants to publicly admit because now he's trying to put out other images.
	He put out this tweet saying, Spent some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today, doesn't get much better than that.
	And oh boy, doesn't he look butch!
	He's got his leather vest, he's got a shotgun.
	He really enjoys doing this.
	He's not a Disney guy, he just happened to walk through there or whatever.
	He really wants to be shooting those clays.
	I think that the Lindsey Duff protests too much.
	This is TMZ who's doing this.
	TMZ.
	Well, that guy sounds like an acolyte of Glenn Beck.
	Well, he's Young Turks.
	That's from Young Turks.
	But it's TMZ that put out a call.
	In fact.
	Oh, TMZ's out of control.
	They're opening up a DC office.
	No, they're smart.
	They're smart.
	Where is the show business fun?
	It's all in DC.
	I mean, where else can you get a story about Christy Gnome like this?
	Shocking photos have leaked from an online fetish community that allegedly feature Brian Gnome.
	the husband of former Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Nome.
	The Daily Mail obtained hundreds of messages, purportedly sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's husband and three women who are involved in the so-called bimbofication fetish scene.
	Leaked pics reportedly show Brian wearing comically oversized, lopsided breasts, complete with fake, protruding nipples.
	Other pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul, who has three children with Nome, clad in pink hot pants and a skin-tight, flesh-colored crock-top.
	Did you see any of these pictures?
	You didn't see the one in the newsletter that you approved?
	Oh, that's exactly where I did see it, yes.
	But that doesn't mean that you saw them.
	No, no, no, it doesn't mean you saw them.
	I'm the one who found that picture that went to the newsletter.
	I get these from Tina.
	Balloons made to resemble massive cockeyed bazoongas.
	According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Brian chatted up women from the online fetish scene in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie doll like appearance.
	Representatives of Christie told the Post the former DHS chief was.
	Devastated by the salacious allegations of her husband, and that the family was blindsided by this.
	In a 2022 interview with Elysian, Christy Nome said that their family was an open book and transparent.
	The Daily Mail also spoke with national security experts, who said the existence of the scandalous photographs could have made Christy the subject to potential blackmail threats.
	Former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos told the outlet that the photos could be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service.
	Cockeyed bazoongas.
	Potential show title.
	They're like the ones that, that, yeah, the shop, it's the teacher.
	Yeah, the shop teacher.
	Oh, man.
	Do we still, they may be their friends.
	You know, there is a number of websites where you can buy that crap.
	How would I know?
	Well, I don't know.
	Tina would.
	Uh huh.
	Uh huh.
	I don't wonder, do we still have clips of that teacher?
	Yeah, whatever happened to that guy?
	I think they bought him off.
	He probably walked away with a lot of money.
	He might have.
	Because he was totally playing that up like, well, what's wrong?
	How come I can't identify as a woman with cockeyed bazoongas?
	I can't remember.
	The other angle to this, of course, is that I don't have the clip.
	I should have had it.
	Is Christy Nome testifying and refusing to answer questions about having an affair?
	With what's his name?
	Oh, we had, yeah, Mimi had those.
	Yeah.
	She gave it to me and I dropped the ball there.
	But she's having an affair with what's that guy's name?
	He was in the interview.
	Corey Lewandowski.
	Yeah, Corey Lewandowski.
	Yeah.
	I guess she's having an affair.
	You say that.
	And then she wouldn't answer any questions about saying, boo, it's tabloid, tabloid.
	You know, we can't get into this.
	So she screwed up too.
	You know, she's no good.
	She was not good from the get go.
	And I'd say the same thing.
	The next one they're talking about, there's Bondy.
	There's gossip.
	Bondy.
	Gossip.
	Yeah, gossip.
	Gossip.
	Yes.
	I saw the gossip.
	Bondy.
	Yeah, Bondy.
	Gotta go.
	Everybody's up for being fired.
	Everybody is.
	Rubio.
	No, no, not Rubio.
	And Vance.
	He's got solid people.
	Where's Vance?
	Vance is like a hitman.
	He comes and goes.
	He hasn't done any hits.
	He hasn't done any hits at all.
	He's.
	He's around.
	Yeah.
	Rubio's a tough guy.
	And then you got your A gay.
	He's also a talented guy.
	The gay General Patton.
	Yeah.
	He's talented.
	He's a very talented guy.
	Tina's like, is he gay?
	I'm like, hello.
	He has a handsome husband and they have handsome children.
	Just saying.
	They look a handsome couple together.
	Well, you put good looking people together and their children come out beautiful.
	Hmm.
	Let me see.
	How does that work?
	Okay.
	I got lots of stuff, but so do you.
	And how are you feeling, if you don't mind me asking?
	How are you feeling?
	Well, I like it.
	A little help.
	I still have not got a normal sleep in.
	I'm short a couple hours today.
	So I'm kind of, I don't sound great.
	You sound better than you sounded Sunday for the first hour.
	You sound a lot better.
	You said I livened up on Sunday.
	What was it?
	Yeah, you livened up after the first hour.
	I don't know.
	I think you pushed through some barrier with your voice because you sounded a bit like Soros.
	It was somewhere between Kissinger and Soros.
	We're not going to do that because it's not the way to do things.
	So, how do you feel in general?
	I feel terrible.
	Is there any improvement?
	Oh, yeah, there's a lot of improvement, some stamina improvement.
	It's a terrible thing to go through.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	No kidding.
	I should have a couple more horror stories.
	Yeah, you don't have any.
	You know, you heard this.
	Yeah, one element of the whole thing that was not discussed is during the procedure.
	I had a collapsed lung.
	See, now your memory is shot because we talked about that on the last show.
	Oh, nuts.
	Yeah, nuts.
	Yeah, nuts, exactly.
	So I got a lot of fluids.
	You know, they don't let me drink water.
	So I'm kind of parched.
	Which doesn't help my voice.
	That's part of the problem, by the way.
	And so I get this kind of thing.
	I kind of enjoy having that a little bit.
	But if I could do Alex Jones, I think Alex Jones is going to be a lot better than yours by the time I'm done.
	Brogs.
	Unlikely.
	Yeah, I can do it.
	I can do it.
	Everybody, I can do it.
	That's unlikely.
	We did get some good news as your Health and Human Service Secretary, along with Dr. Oz, it's the tag team.
	The MAHA tag team, they heard your complaint.
	The other announcement that we're making today is that Dr. Oz sent out a health and safety notice every hospital in this country at 11 o'clock this morning, asking them now to align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines in order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid and Medicare payments.
Hospital Food Mandate 00:03:13
	We're going to bring all the hospitals in the country in line with good food and this is not something that bull crap forced hospitals to do they want it we talked with them no they need the incentive and This is going to help them with their procurement companies the fact that it's on now Essentially a federal mandate But it's again,
	it's something the hospitals wanted it's something that they needed and we want to do this very very quickly as Dr. Oz pointed out Food in hospitals is so uniformly, you know.
	Yeah, so uniformly sucky.
	We have one of our producers.
	You don't think this is going to happen?
	He said, if you want Medicare money, you've got to get brand name Jell O. You can't tell.
	That's as far as it's going to go.
	Well, how do you know that?
	Why are you so negative, bro?
	Well, a couple of things.
	One is I'm very affable in the hospital.
	Never been in the hospital before, but I'm affable.
	I keep going.
	Hold on.
	Affable?
	Yeah, I'm affable.
	Like you're nice?
	Yeah.
	I don't get that on the show.
	Where's that?
	I'm nice.
	I'm also nice and I always have a one liner.
	I mean, for the first, I don't know, a couple of days, they kept rotating people in and out.
	And my one liner was always the same.
	And someone would come in, the new shift nurse, the shift sub nurse, the nurse practitioners, whoever.
	Nurse rats.
	One after the other, after the other.
	And they always check your pulse and do all this stuff and charge Medicare for doing it over and over and over.
	And every time they'd come in, they'd introduce themselves and say, How are you doing?
	And I'd always say, I'm in the hospital.
	And did they think that was funny the 20th time you did it?
	Yeah, I thought it was funny.
	I thought it was funny.
	Yeah, I thought it was funny.
	I mean, if I didn't get a laugh, I would have stopped doing it.
	But I did it about, I'd say, 100 times.
	And so, in the process, the food thing would come up in the conversations, and I'd bitch and moan about the food.
	Complaining that I can't eat it and you just can't swallow it.
	It's like eating, you know, sand.
	And so they say, Oh, yeah, yeah, it's not good.
	They'd all agree with me, except one nurse who said, Oh, no, I think the food here is great.
	You've never had the food at the VA.
	Oh, yeah, you, your memory.
	I wrote this story.
	I just remember telling it.
	No, I remember telling this story before.
	No, I'm trying to associate.
	I'm worried about this.
	No, no, no.
	They did something to your memory.
	It was.
	The reason I'm telling this story is because you asked specifically, why do I think this isn't going to happen?
	And when she said that, which I've said it before, when she said that, I realized that institutionally it can't happen because they don't care.
	And if you like the food from the VA, there's a lack of care.
Charlie Kirk Bullet 00:02:35
	Now, we had one of our producers write a long, very nice note about how he took over a hospital and started actually turning it into a profit center.
	He took over the cafeteria because everything was canned.
	It was.
	All from Cisco or worse, and they didn't make anything there.
	They couldn't even slice a pat of butter.
	You had to buy it pre cut.
	I mean, it was a nightmare.
	And he could do it.
	He says, it's doable.
	But it takes a maniac to do it.
	There's no impetus, no impetus whatsoever.
	This is never going to happen.
	Well, you heard it here first.
	Guy stays in the hospital once in his life, and now he's an expert.
	That's right.
	I am.
	Believe me, I studied the process.
	Well, millions of experts around the world, particularly in the matter of.
	You know, you can tell if you go into a company, you've done this, you can go into a company and you can see the corporate culture is no good.
	And it's not going to change.
	Well, yeah, you're probably right.
	You're probably right.
	No, that's too bad.
	Unless you get a guy like that guy, our producer guy.
	Our producer, our guys are, yeah.
	Our guys know how to run a hospital cafeteria.
	But he gave up and went to do something else, make more money.
	Exactly.
	There you go.
	Our guys just want to make more money.
	So, back to other experts around the world, particularly in the United States, are rejoicing today.
	If you're a ballistics expert, you're rejoicing today.
	We have breaking news.
	About the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk.
	There's a new court filing in the case of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination.
	Lawyers for the man accused of shooting Kirk say the bullet doesn't match the gun investigators say was used in the crime.
	Prosecutors say beyond that bullet, they have DNA evidence that connects Tyler Robinson to the shooting.
	It happened back in September while Kirk spoke at events on the campus on Utah Valley University.
	Robinson's attorneys are asking to delay his preliminary hearing.
	They want more time to review evidence.
	Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
	Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty.
	CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson says this is not unusual.
	It is sometimes difficult to match bullets that were recovered at autopsy with bullets that are associated with a defendant's gun.
	And that could be based on lack of evidence and lack of markings on those bullets.
Oracle AI Restructuring 00:10:15
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	This makes it all very skeptical.
	The bullet shattered.
	Oh, no.
	No, that by itself was not possible.
	No, the bulls couldn't shed it.
	It's gone through.
	It's a 30 odd six.
	30 odd six.
	You go right through them.
	Candace Owens shooting back to the top of the podcast charts on YouTube.
	Is she really?
	Oh, people love her.
	There's women here who are four.
	It's 4 p.m.
	I'm sorry.
	I turned my phone on silent.
	I'm watching Candace.
	It's time for Candace.
	Yes.
	I wonder if Candace Owens ever realized what a natural presenter she is.
	Oh, she's very natural at it.
	Yeah, she's very good.
	She's nuts, but she's very good at it.
	She's nuts, but she is very good.
	Yeah.
	So something really cool happened in the world of big tech and AI as Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code or Python.
	Go ahead.
	I talked to JC about this this morning to get it straightened out.
	Well, shall I play the clips and then you can give me the synopsis?
	Yeah, play the clip.
	Well, I can.
	Yeah, play the clip.
	Yeah, it's short.
	This is one of those YouTuber guys.
	So I'll just give you the synopsis.
	They published a new version of Claude Code, an application, but the way they did it is they accidentally included all of the source code.
	Yesterday, the most ironic thing ever happened.
	Anthropic.
	A $380 billion startup that built on the idea of safety first that advocates for closed source software for the supposed benefit of humanity.
	A company Elon calls Misanthropic, whose logo is definitely not a sphincter, whose CEO has been warning us for years that human programmers will be replaced by AI in six months.
	It just accidentally leaked Claude Code's entire source code to the internet at 4 a.m., officially making Anthropic more open than OpenAI.
	I love this guy because he's kind of like a young JCD, a little snarky.
	And he throws in the whose logo does not at all look like a sphincter.
	And then you have to look at the logo like, yeah, you're right.
	It does look like a sphincter.
	So here's how it happened.
	But how did this code end up leaked in the first place?
	Well, as I mentioned, the source map was accidentally packaged in an NPM release.
	But that's weird because build tools normally strip out source maps automatically.
	Well, Claude code is built on Bun.js, which, as you might recall, was recently acquired by Anthropic.
	And it just so happens that about three weeks ago, somebody opened up an issue on GitHub about Bun.js serving source maps in production.
	Wouldn't it be ironic?
	If the fastest JavaScript runtime in the world also turned out to be the fastest way to ship your entire code base to the internet.
	And so, while that is all relatively interesting, I mean, I'm not like running off to go fork the code.
	I don't know if I can do anything with it.
	But I had no, no later than a few days after I said that this whole AI run these models locally, it's the new Tamagotchi.
	Boom!
	Like there's a hidden capability under a feature flag called Buddy, which appears to be a new Tamagotchi style companion that every developer can customize and raise like a little digital pet.
	This might just be Anthropics April.
	Fool's Day joke, but there are also references to Opus 4.7 and a new model called Capybara, which might be their new recently teased Mythos model.
	There's also things like Ultra Plan, Coordinator Mode, and Demon Mode, but perhaps the most interesting is Kairos, which is a Greek word for an exact moment in time, or God's time.
	I hate to beat off a dead horse here, but it's a bit ironic that Anthropic didn't get to reveal Kairos at the exact time it wanted to, and instead, God chose the right time.
	The feature itself seems to be some kind of background agent that keeps a daily journal, uses Dream Mode to consolidate memories, And does work for you in the background on a specific schedule.
	They're pretty cool, but at the end of the day, this leak is a pretty huge setback for Anthropic, which hopes to IPO later this year and offload their bags to the retail public.
	And it's yet another reminder that your top secret application is just one NPM publish away from becoming open source, whether you'd like it or not.
	So, my takeaway is this is not really a big deal.
	It kind of shows that, you know, it's all about the prompting, and this is a big piece of code that they've.
	They've refined for their prompting.
	The Claude code is quite fantastic, I have to say, the way it interacts with their model.
	I don't think it's going to hurt them in any way.
	What did JC have to say?
	He says this is exaggerated.
	It's not, there's pieces of what they're doing that were not broken out.
	He says there's a battle within the company.
	They put some of the stuff open source anyway, and it's possible they put it out there because they need to get some feedback.
	And he basically said it's bullshit.
	And it's also distracting from the Mercur hack, which is apparently a massive hack that these guys are doing AI training using experts.
	You should look into that.
	And their stuff, all of it got released.
	And it turns out they're breaking the law.
	There's all kinds of violence.
	It's just a whole slew of problems for this company that's being, nobody's talking about that.
	And they're talking about this anthropic thing.
	And it's not important.
	What is Mercur?
	You got to look it up.
	Well, so you can't tell me.
	Well, I can tell you.
	It's a company that.
	Mercur.
	Mercur.
	Yeah, M E R C O R.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They train AI using experts to train.
	I mean, it's a completely different approach, which is very effective.
	And unfortunately, it's all gone.
	Well, this is not unfortunate.
	This is great.
	The more it is great for me, it's like the more this stuff is open source and we can run it at home, the better.
	I see it as fantastic, and there's no stopping this.
	I mean, these Chinese models they keep coming out with.
	Oh, and by the way, according to JC, what would happen at Mercur or Mercore, the Chinese will gobble up.
	Yes, and they'll make a compressed version of it stuff, you know.
	It's quite fascinating what you can do with this stuff at home.
	And that's where this whole bubble is going to pop.
	I'm not against these models.
	They're definitely good uses for them.
	I mean, I now, I finally loaded that model, the 11 Labs voice.
	I have canceled my subscription.
	They lost me as a customer because I can run it at home on a Raspberry Pi with an old graphic, a GPU from NVIDIA, an old one that someone gave to me.
	You know, I'm not making ISOs with it, don't worry.
	But still, it's like Why should I worry?
	Because, you know, 11 Labs is your go to.
	I moved on.
	And so now, Oracle, who are big in the data center game, they are doing whatever they can to keep raising money through debt to keep building data centers, which I think is a big mistake.
	Trying to bounce off some session lows here.
	Let's get to our Seema Modi with a news alert on Oracle.
	Hey, Seema Modi.
	Oh, yeah, Carl, I can confirm from two insiders that Oracle is laying off thousands of employees.
	Notifications were.
	Sent out today, it comes as the company continues to double down on its massive AI bet, developing and leasing data centers across the country.
	As we know, it's gone to the debt market to fund these bets.
	Now, looking at another option by reducing its workforce as a way to drum up more cash.
	In fact, there was a TD Cowan report last month suggesting that 20,000 to 30,000 layoffs would free up about 10 billion dollars.
	So, I look into this story like, well, who are they firing and why are they firing?
	And most of these companies, well, you know, AI is so efficient, we don't need any more programmers, so we just get that's what.
	What everyone's using now as an excuse to unload employees.
	But in Oracle's case, I came across this clip, Indian news source.
	It's kind of believable.
	Fire the Indians.
	Just days ago, we told you that tech giant Oracle was planning mass layoffs.
	And now that moment has arrived.
	Tech giant Oracle Corporation has begun a mass round of layoffs across its global office.
	Employees in the US, India, and other regions are reportedly receiving termination emails.
	Todi, with many, informed that the same day would be their last working day.
	There was no prior notice, no HR call, and no discussion with managers, just a formal email from the company leadership.
	While there is no official confirmation yet on the scale of layoffs, posts from individuals claiming to be affected or aware of the situation suggest that multiple teams in India may have been impacted.
	Some users allege that entire teams saw significant reductions, while others claim that even managers were not informed in advance about who would be let go.
	Teams across multiple divisions, including key tech and operations units, have reportedly seen significant job cuts, with some teams losing nearly 30% of their workforce.
	Oracle's India operations, including its development centers, have also been impacted, with employees across roles and levels affected.
	The company has offered severance packages, but only after employees signed separation documents.
	For India, the severance is expected to follow the standard N plus 2 formula, while unvested stock.
	Benefits will not be paid.
	Reports suggest that this could be one of Oracle's biggest restructuring exercises, with estimates indicating up to 30,000 job cuts globally.
	The move is being linked to the company's aggressive expansion into AI infrastructure, which has significantly increased financial pressure.
	I think it's valid to say that you can get rid of a bunch of Indian programmers.
	That seems pretty valid.
	Yeah, get rid of them, 20,000 of them.
Helicopter Flying Tales 00:04:02
	What's wrong, Phoebe?
	Why are you barking?
	Okay, I have a few clips now.
	All right.
	Let's start with the Kid Rock clip.
	You heard about this, right?
	I've heard about it.
	I somehow was able to avoid it.
	Tonight, the breaking headline after those U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters hovered over Kid Rock's house, the performers saluting them.
	Tonight, what's now happened to those Army pilots?
	Let's get right to Martha Raditz.
	David, tonight, a major reversal.
	Early today, the Army said they had suspended the four crew members of those Apache attack helicopters, which were seen in that video doing a low level flyby in front of the home of singer Kid Rock in Nashville.
	He could be seen.
	Waving and then saluting the crew.
	The Army saying they take any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously.
	President Trump, who is a friend of Kid Rock's, even said they probably shouldn't have been doing it.
	You're not supposed to be playing games.
	But shortly after the president made those comments, Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X, the U.S. Army pilots' suspensions lifted.
	No punishment, no investigation.
	Carry on, patriots, he said, and thanked Kid Rock.
	All right.
	Well, I have some personal experience with this, but your commentary is welcome.
	Well, you know, it was goofy.
	They probably shouldn't do this stuff.
	It's a waste of the taxpayers' money.
	So I went to Iraq in 2003, and we were there with the Dutch Marines.
	We made one excursion, it was about a six hour drive to Basra base, and that's where the Dutch heli detachment was, and they were running all the Chinook helicopters.
	And so we hung it without, we were doing a documentary, we're filming, we're doing a live radio show from Camp Smitty in Samawa province.
	And it was known that I had my helicopter license.
	I was flying helicopters at the time in Holland.
	And so these guys, like, ah, you know, we'll fly you guys back.
	Now, I cannot confirm or deny if they let me fly the helicopter to 150 feet above the deck.
	But anyway, so you make friends.
	You know, you make friends.
	So you got to fly a Chinook?
	I can't confirm or deny, but yeah, heck yeah.
	You know how that works?
	It's the easiest helicopter to fly in the world because there's no torque.
	There's no counter torque because of the two rotors.
	Right.
	So you don't have to coordinate your feet with your tool.
	And so what they do is they have a GPS moving map display and they overlay a piece of plastic, like one of those, for anyone who remembers the overhead projector.
	What's that called?
	Was it called the overhead projector where you put the slides on?
	They were called overhead projectors.
	Thank you.
	The cellophane, and you'd have those would be transparent foils, foils, foils.
	Oh, man.
	You got to go look that one up, kids, to see what we had before you had video projectors.
	We had a box of light, and you put a foil on it that had drawings on it and letters, and it would project up to a mirror, and the mirror would then project onto a screen or the wall.
	And you'd move these foils back.
	The good old days.
	The good old days.
	So they had one of those foils and they had a line on it and said, just follow the line.
	And you had to go 150 feet because if you're any higher, the RPGs could get to you.
	That's what they said.
	So, you know, I'm flying 150 feet.
	It was like a video game.
	It was so easy.
	And then it's like, okay, you're going to do it 40 degrees right, three, two, one.
	So did that.
	Anyway, did the whole thing.
	We landed at our base, but we became friends.
	And When I would fly from the castle, oh, the days were good when I had money.
	We'd fly from the castle up to Amsterdam because I had a helipad at the house.
	Oh, man, I miss having that.
Alien Disclosure Movie 00:15:20
	Anyway, spent it all, burned it in the air.
	And I'd fly past the helicopter base.
	And so sometimes they'd come out with two Chinooks and they'd fly side by side.
	I'm in my little helicopter.
	And sometimes they'd say, okay, we're forcing you to land.
	We're forcing you to have coffee.
	Okay.
	And so I'd land at the base.
	But from time to time, they would come over the house, over the castle in Belgium with the Chinook.
	They'd open the loading bay door and they'd wave and they'd be waving.
	And it was incredibly destructive because plants were flying all over the place.
	That was bad.
	Koi were flying out of the pond.
	And it was fun.
	And I was like, this is not really wasting any money.
	They're in the area.
	They just fly by.
	They go, hey, Curry.
	And they wave and they fly off.
	So then, you know, this is why this is such a big scandal.
	I don't know.
	It's like, it's kid rock, you know?
	Everything.
	It's a Trump.
	No, well, yeah, they hate Trump.
	Yeah, it's true.
	Which brings us to the other scandal.
	I might as well get to this one.
	This is an update on the ballroom.
	The troll room is like, you had Koi?
	Yeah.
	Ballroom update.
	A new stop work order from a federal court on President Trump's passion project, the White House ballroom.
	That order halts construction unless Congress approves the plans.
	The administration quickly appealed.
	The president clearly frustrated.
	Basically, he's saying I need congressional approval.
	And he's so wrong.
	Judge Richard Leon had granted the request of a preservation group with a pointed message for the Builder in chief.
	The president of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of first families.
	He is not, however, the owner.
	The ballroom is never far from the president's mind, publicly balancing his wartime duties and construction management.
	I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this, but I'm fighting wars and other things.
	This is very important.
	His vision, gigantic, with seating capacity for up to 1,000 guests.
	The cost swelling to $400 million, privately funded, he says.
	Buried below the military is building a big complex under the ballroom.
	This new legal fight spurred by that October surprise.
	The destruction of the East Wing and its century of history.
	Wreckage without the typical oversight.
	The federal judge writes the president went too far.
	No statute comes close to giving the president the authority he claims to have.
	And Kelly O'Donnell also live at the White House tonight for us.
	Kelly, construction continued today, though?
	The judge does allow that they can finish up projects so that they don't leave the site unsafe.
	Well, the president said the entire project is about safety, and he suggested they can keep going.
	I can't wait until this thing is finished, the ballroom.
	I think Marco Rubio is going to get the boys back together.
	That would be good.
	For a dance.
	Put on a show.
	For a little show.
	Well, there was a follow up to this, which was always, you know, kind of half conspiracy, half like, well, makes sense.
	And Carolyn Levitt had to answer the question in the briefing room.
	Can you tell us more about this massive military complex underneath the president's new ballroom?
	I cannot tell you more about that, actually, as a matter of fact.
	However, the military is making some upgrades to their facilities here at the White House, and I'm not.
	Privy to provide any more details on that at this time.
	Yeah, massive.
	Upgrade, upgrade.
	You know what that means?
	Under the White House, the military is already there.
	Yeah.
	With a bunker.
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't think that was a surprise, was it?
	Well, I, yeah, a little bit.
	Kind of expected.
	The White House, the president lives there.
	What's going on underneath in the basement?
	Important stuff.
	Well, the first, have you not watched Paradise?
	Don't you know how this works?
	I love that show.
	Paradise.
	Yeah.
	It's probably one of those shows you watch 30 seconds and went, it's on Hulu.
	The second season, just I think the second season is almost over.
	What's it about?
	Oh, massive event, volcanic eruption, and then everyone starts shooting off nukes at each other.
	And some Silicon Valley billionaires had built an entire underground city in a bunker in Colorado in the mountains, and the president and these billionaires all go there.
	And there's, I don't know, 20,000 people, and they live in a bit of a what is it?
	What was the movie with Jim Carrey?
	A Truman Show.
	A bit of a Truman Show world where there's a fake sky, and they have, you know, they've got Waffle House, and they all live their little lives.
	But people on the outside survived.
	And so then the people on the outside are trying to get on the inside, and it just goes on from there.
	Sounds far fetched.
	Not really.
	Oh, you say, oh, not really.
	Well, I mean, the whole world underground was pretty elaborate, but it's a pretty good show.
	I mean, you know, what else are we going to watch?
	Well, exactly.
	Chinese television, like you, to learn how to speak Chinese?
	How's that working?
	Mandarin.
	Yeah, Mandarin, yeah.
	Also.
	Yeah, also yourself.
	Okay.
	So have you heard the Matt Gaetz stuff?
	No.
	All right.
	Well, now you're going to hear it.
	Good.
	Matt Gates on aliens.
	I think the most important information will be the biologics that are not human that have been discovered.
	And like even some of the briefings that aren't classified just need to be out in the public.
	I mean, I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race to.
	That could engage in intergalactic communication.
	An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that.
	What the F is going on?
	Look, wait a second.
	You had whistleblowers tell you this kind of thing?
	Can you please unpack that?
	This is a four minute clip.
	We're playing the whole thing.
	Oh, I thought I broke into two.
	Well, I have a number two.
	Well, you tell me when to stop.
	There is a number two that's 30 seconds.
	Stop it there.
	Stop it where you.
	And just play number two.
	What do you mean, non human biologics?
	Well, that was the testimony of David Grush before the House Oversight Committee, which I joined.
	And the testimony was that in crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA and through a special program that the CIA had for crash recovery, that it wasn't just, you know, the.
	Hard materials.
	It was also biologics, but that they couldn't identify a human source of those biologics.
	Nah, David Grush, isn't he the guy that makes alien movies?
	Let me check that.
	I'm pretty sure that's the guy.
	Yeah, he says he's a whistleblower, but hasn't he been working, making movies for over a decade?
	The whole thing is sketchy.
	It is.
	I mean, look, I flew to go meet an alien one time.
	I was all in on this stuff.
	I've only been disappointed time after time after time.
	Yeah, you're going to meet in a.
	This is during the show.
	Yes.
	The show era.
	Yep.
	You were going to meet an alien.
	I was promised.
	You were all jacked up about it.
	Yes.
	And cocky, I might add.
	Well, this was in my second wife's days.
	Or was it my first, still?
	I don't remember.
	No, no, no.
	This was before your second wife.
	Go on.
	Well, I was going to say, I wanted you to confirm that it was before me.
	Yeah, it was around that time.
	I remember I had the airplane.
	You had a lot of stuff.
	And you are also a big believer in spraying water into gasoline.
	No, no.
	I had a hydroxy booster.
	Which created hydrolysis and that created a gas automobile efficiency.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And yeah, that was that era.
	And then because of the alien guy not showing up, you bummed out on the whole thing.
	Yeah, because I got screwed once again.
	I'm not buying it anymore.
	That's what it looks like.
	Yeah.
	You got screwed on that deal.
	Well, so the whole thing is going on around and around because it's because of the Spielberg movie.
	Oh, do you have a clip?
	What is the Spielberg movie?
	It's the last year that, remember that movie Disclosure?
	Oh, they're going to blow the lid off everything and they had all these people in Congress.
	That wasn't a Spielberg movie, though.
	No, no, I'm just saying, I'm saying last year.
	Last year, there's a movie called Disclosure, and it was, or something like Age of Disclosure, some damn thing.
	And they had all the Rubio was in the movie.
	Oh, yeah, I know.
	They told us that there were aliens.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, there's one guy after another, just the bogus testimony.
	No evidence, no photos, no alien autopsies.
	No, nothing.
	No, nothing.
	The whole thing.
	And so now this year, Spielberg's got a movie coming out just shortly.
	Really?
	Called Disclosure Something.
	You can look it up.
	I'm looking it up now.
	Spielberg's movie.
	So.
	Hold on a second.
	There's got to be a trailer.
	Let me see.
	Spielberg.
	I don't know if the trailer's out.
	Disclosure trailer.
	Oh, maybe.
	Usually these things.
	If you're talking about it, here we go.
	Three weeks ago.
	Here we go.
	Let's see.
	I got secrets.
	Oh.
	Whoa.
	The data they paid me to protect.
	Oh, he's got special access.
	Are they people?
	No, they're aliens.
	What?
	Oh, no.
	Crop circles.
	They got crop circles.
	Man, remember the crop circles?
	Oh, yeah.
	In England?
	Every week there was a new crop circle.
	And I was all in on that too.
	Like, these are real, John.
	This is not so real.
	Yeah, you were quite convinced.
	I know.
	And people miss that about the show.
	But what can I say?
	I know.
	That's why I'm bringing this in.
	No, please.
	Hold on, let's listen to this some more.
	From directors, Kevin Spielberg.
	Oh no, she's having a brain freeze.
	She's stroking out.
	Is it a vax injury?
	Oh no.
	Oh no, her head is changing.
	What's happening?
	Oh no, it's about to explode.
	Oh, the nuns are watching.
	What?
	Okay, can't wait to watch that one.
	Yeah, dog.
	Exciting.
	So I have a very long clip here that I.
	I didn't intend to put it in the show, but it's about Spielberg.
	Okay.
	And there's this hack, this guy, it was a hack, it's probably not really a hack, but this guy, Peter Duke, who's been a showrunner.
	He's been in Hollywood forever.
	And he's on the Ripple Effect podcast.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's a popular podcast.
	It's very popular.
	I think it's well done.
	It's, you know, they hate Jews and they get, you know, standard stuff.
	It's your go to.
	That kind of thing.
	But, and the guy.
	What's your podcast about?
	We hate Jews, you know, stuff like that.
	You know, that's our podcast.
	That's what we do, man.
	It's simple.
	It doesn't take a lot of effort.
	So they had this guy on talking trash about Spielberg.
	And I thought what got interesting, if you, I think the first minute and a half, you play this Peter Duke ripple effect.
	If you play the first minute and a half, he claims with some justification that Spielberg.
	Has always worked for the Pentagon.
	Oh, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
	Let's play this.
	On the show, Richard Grove, he did a great documentary.
	He's still one of probably my favorite documentaries and one I recommend quite often.
	State of Mind, The Psychology of Control, which really goes into the whole history of social engineering and how far back it goes.
	And these techniques have been used over and over again to control the masses.
	I guess when you talk about that, it kind of highlights what you're saying in regards to the Zyngaist movement got a lot of shit from religious people, Peter Joseph.
	But I think one of the things he was trying to highlight in his first film, Was the fact that you can use religion to control the masses, right?
	He was kind of opening up, talking about all these techniques to control the masses from false flags and these events that spark emotion and empathy and revenge, and then use that, like September 11th, to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, or you use spirituality, religion, scripture, this higher power idea to convince you that you're doing something for the greater good.
	So, yeah, these are all techniques to control people.
	Somebody else we brought up.
	Quite a bit, and I wanted your thoughts on it because it's a complete left turn, but I'm kind of curious.
	You talked about Steven Spielberg.
	Well, what do you think of his new movie Disclosure or Disclosure Day?
	There's a lot of conversations about why he's doing a movie like this.
	I know he's always kind of been, people say he's always been fascinated with the topic.
	Do you think it's just him being fascinated with the topic or is it more like you mentioned?
	Is there a reason for the timing?
	I think Steven Spielberg is part of the Pentagon and that, and he's very good at what he does.
	I mean, one of the things that they're very good at, the Office of Net Assessments, I think, goes out and assesses people.
	Right.
	And I think that Steven Spielberg was assessed as very competent at what he does because he is very competent at what he does.
	And it's funny because when I worked at the Shoah Foundation Institute, my title had been at every other company that I worked at, creative director, but I wasn't allowed to have that title.
	And I wasn't allowed to have that title because Steven doesn't believe that creativity is human.
	He believes that it's a gift from God and that you can be a design director.
	But you can't be a creative director, which I always thought was so.
	He's very specific about words, but now that I'm so specific about words, I totally understand where he's coming from.
	But I've had several friends who were personal assistants to Steven Spielberg in different capacities, but like in the room with him every day, you know, following him around, taking notes, getting stuff done.
Manipulating Online Actors 00:11:30
	One of my friends told me that he was working at Amblin, which was down the drive.
	I was at stage 35, which doesn't exist to this day, but in the The 1990s, when I was working on a lot of Universal, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	When I worked for Joel Schumacher, I hate that.
	All right, well, wait, wait, you can stop it there, but you have to let this finish because okay, he has a really good story, okay, in the producer's building, which is next to what they call the Black Tower in the front of the studio.
	This is the problem, he's doing a shaggy.
	Hold on, people out there who do, if you're going to start doing podcasts, Mimi does this.
	You get to the point, he's getting to the point, but all of a sudden now he's talking about this and that, he's roaming away.
	The shaggy dogging the thing, it's annoying.
	So, do you want me to shuttle for it?
	No, no, keep putting it.
	Now you can play.
	Now that I've warned everybody they can put up with it.
	When I worked at Gameworks, I worked on stage 35, which was an old sitcom stage.
	I mean, was my helicopter story too shaggy dog?
	I didn't think that was too shaggy dog.
	No, no, not at all.
	When you do shaggy dog, believe me, you noted my displeasure.
	Yes, yes.
	It was in the back lot, close to where they have all of the outdoors.
	Scenes, sets.
	And it's just down the drive.
	The reason I was on that stage is because it was just down the driveway from Amblin'.
	And Amblin is a building that Lou Wasserman built for Steven Spielberg after I think Jaws came out.
	Lou Wasserman didn't want Steven Spielberg to ever leave Universal.
	And he basically built him a little palace on the back lot at Universal, which is still there to this day.
	So, my friend who worked at Amblin told me that they used to ask the same question that I asked when I worked in the producer's building, which is how do they decide what movies they're going to make?
	And he told me about an event that happened where Stephen went and was gone for a couple of weeks and met with some people.
	And he didn't go into any details about who the people were.
	But at one point, Stephen called into the office and they had an all hands meeting.
	And everybody came into the conference room.
	And everybody at Amblin came into a conference room with their yellow legal pads and their pens.
	And Stephen was on the speakerphone.
	And he told them what the nine projects were that they were going to do that year.
	He just dictated them out.
	We're going to make a movie about this.
	We're going to make a movie about that.
	We're going to make a television series about this.
	We're going to make a television series about that.
	And everybody got their marching orders.
	And then they went and they made those movies and made those TV shows.
	So that story to me makes me think well, he was getting read in.
	You know, he was meeting with the Tavistock people or.
	The Tavistock people?
	You mean the trans people?
	No, let it finish.
	It's almost done.
	You know, this is literally five and a half minutes.
	You owe me.
	No, that's why I said you had to break it up by hand.
	He gets his marching orders from, and they tell him, This is what you're going to go make.
	These are the movies and the TV shows that you're going to make.
	Why don't you just go on that podcast?
	I mean, you're playing a podcast on a podcast.
	Yeah, okay.
	So the point he's trying to make, which you won't let him finish, I'll let him finish.
	I think that's the way it works.
	I think that's the same way it worked with Chris Carter and the same way that it works with Mark Burnett and with Sam Ismail and all of the other showrunners.
	Who's the guy who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
	These people get marching orders.
	Oh, I get it.
	The Jews and they march.
	Not the Jews.
	Yes.
	And I mean, he's talking about a more general.
	I agree with this.
	He's talking about slow mo and Weisenheimer and all those things.
	I'm telling you, how did these things get?
	Who picks what and how?
	Brunetti, I sent him this clip and he had no pushback on it.
	He said he was offered to go to one of these meetings and given marching orders.
	He's Brunetti, so no, I'm not going.
	But this is not surprising.
	Is this surprising to you?
	Well, a little bit for a guy like Spielberg.
	Oh, no, he's the top guy.
	Think of all the movies he's done that have been important for social engineering.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, no, it doesn't.
	In fact, I think this is why OpenAI had to shut down Sora.
	It's like, you can't do that.
	We can't have everybody psyoping everybody else with movies.
	You got to shut that stuff down.
	And what do they do?
	Oh, look, we got a great camera for you, Hollywood.
	I'm convinced of it.
	You've got to stop that.
	We can't have people making their own propaganda movies.
	In fact, I got a clip here.
	Where's this from?
	This is from Global, the Canadian guys.
	And they're talking about the propaganda, which is done with AI by both Iran or Iranian actors and America or American actors or Jews.
	I don't know.
	The propaganda war over Iran has taken a strange turn.
	The White House and the Iranian regime are trolling each other online in a war of memes, posting videos like these on their official social media channels.
	It started with the White House posting videos of real airstrikes on Iran, edited together with clips from American action movies and video games, even SpongeBob SquarePants.
	You want to see me do it again?
	With captions such as Justice the American Way and Wake Up Daddy's Home.
	This obscene focus on lethality and the celebration of.
	Violence.
	This focus on a gaming culture where victims vanish from moral consideration is an utterly immoral.
	Tehran is now firing back.
	By the time a satellite finds me, I'm already gone.
	The regime's propaganda studio producing these animations.
	Many depicting Lego figures of the U.S. president, Israeli prime minister, and the devil plotting attacks on Iran to distract from the Epstein scandal.
	A lot of this stuff would seem silly if it wasn't.
	Obviously, such a serious situation.
	Is this stuff actually effective?
	I mean, I think it's effective in functioning as railing cries.
	We are talking about content that's been viewed in the billions.
	What started as a propaganda war between the American and Iranian governments has now spiraled into an online free for all, with other apparently ordinary users deploying AI technology to produce not only memes, but deep fake videos of the war.
	This video purports to show an Iranian attack on the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormuz.
	Well, this one claims to show Israel's airport being struck by an Iranian missile.
	Both are fake.
	The use of AI is just shedding doubt everywhere.
	So it's making things more believable, but it's also making things not believable in the sense that anything and everything can be edited or fully AI generated.
	This parallel information war is blurring the lines between real and fake.
	So, this is the real issue at hand.
	And the video stuff, yeah, you know, movies is definitely the way to go.
	Remember, the CIA was all over the Moscow Music Peace Festival, and I didn't even know it at the time, other than I got interviewed by some dudes who came into my manager's office and said, Oh, you're going to Russia.
	Stay away from hookers.
	They're all KGB.
	Stay at the hotel.
	You don't want to go anywhere else.
	You want to be careful.
	But as it turns out, that was, you know, listening to the Winds of Change podcast.
	That whole thing was a psyop to get kids to get ready to bust out when the wall came down.
	And they, you know, we all know that it was David Hasselhoff who premeditated that.
	But the real psyops is social media.
	And if we believe him or not, here's a blast from the past Steve Pieczenik.
	Ah, we haven't talked about him in a long time.
	Is this recent?
	No, no, no.
	This is from back in the day when we were still talking.
	Steve Pieczenik was quite explicit in telling me that DARPA had been experimenting with social networks, now, probably not the way we have them today, but online social networks, probably more along the lines of news groups, stuff like that.
	And maybe even America Online and the CB Simulator to see how the CB Simulator, the CB Simulator, how, no, that was CompuServe.
	How you could manipulate people, and how you could have multiple actors online talking for and against each other.
	And the social media networks of today are a goldmine.
	It's just a goldmine for this type of operation.
	I see it all the time on my ex account.
	And you'll see people who are saying things, people, bots.
	I'm convinced 70% of them are bots.
	And they'll be commenting on comments.
	You go look at them, no followers, numbers in the name, account from 2016.
	Like, okay, yeah, that makes sense.
	And this was, This was the subject of a bit here on Deutsche Welle.
	What looks like real online debate during elections could be AI.
	Researchers warn that networks of AI agents might coordinate disinformation campaigns during elections, flooding social media with propaganda autonomously and at scale.
	In a recent study, scientists tested this on a simulated social platform similar to X.
	They created 50 AI agents.
	Some acted as regular users, and others as Operators with the goal of promoting a fictional candidate.
	They tested three scenarios agents with just a goal, agents who knew their teammates, and agents that could plan strategies together.
	The key result simply knowing who was on the same team was enough to create coordinated behavior, almost as effective as planning together.
	What followed looked like real online conversations different opinions, replies, and growing support around one message.
	This is very different from traditional bot campaigns.
	Older bots follow simple scripts.
	Post this, retweet that, which makes them easier to detect.
	But AI agent systems behave more like real users.
	Even though this was just a simulation, the implications are real.
	Such systems could shape public opinion and increase division in the elections to come.
	And they may be way harder to detect because it's not just about what individual accounts post, but how networks of accounts act together.
	And whether platforms can keep up is still unclear.
	I'm convinced this is taking place.
	Oh, you don't have to be convinced.
Detecting Bot Networks 00:09:54
	Yeah.
	And none of it's good.
	Well, how different is that?
	What's the difference between that and having, like in Russia or Ukraine or wherever, a building full of people on the computer acting as one with marching orders, say 500 people making X amount of money, and all they do is post all day?
	It's cheaper.
	It's cheaper.
	I think the AI is cheaper.
	Yeah, it's a lot cheaper, but it's the same thing.
	Yeah, but you know, they can do it 247, they can micro target stupid podcasters.
	Hey, let's go after that curry.
	Yeah, let's do that.
	He gets all worked up and he does a voice.
	I'm telling you, somebody said that to you.
	What?
	No, I know people say that all the time when people email me, read this in your lip-tired voice.
	That's the one I'm not gonna read.
	Okay, that's not how it works, anyway.
	No psyops here.
	And with that, I want to thank you for your courage.
	In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the cockeyed bazongas.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C. DeMore.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam McCurry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, fiendi, air, subs in the water, names of the nights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls.
	Go to the moon.
	Let me count on you.
	We got 1404, 1,404 trolls listening live to us as we speak.
	And what?
	It's not that good.
	We're losing it.
	Well, you know, you're not that good.
	You know, you're not up to strength.
	You know, that's true, but it doesn't mean they have to abandon me.
	No, they abandoned you right away the minute Mimi came in.
	Like, oh, well, that was fun while it lasted, stupid Dvorak.
	It's nothing to do with Mimi.
	It's just you.
	You know, it's bad for the show.
	No, it's the truth.
	And have you contacted Void Zero about the email?
	Working on it, working on it, working on it.
	So that's another one.
	Hey, you know, I'm running at 50%.
	Hey, I'm the first one to say, I'm amazed that you're doing this show at all.
	No, I appreciate that too.
	At all.
	People forget.
	And they forget.
	They have no idea.
	Your chest was cracked open.
	You're going to be 74 years old on Sunday.
	So, you know, you're not.
	You know, wretchedly old, but it's, you know, it's a big procedure.
	And within a week of coming out of the hospital, you're like, here I am.
	I'm doing the show.
	I appreciate that.
	I do.
	I also think that you need to do the show, it's a part of your healing process.
	Yeah, what gets me.
	Yes, I do.
	So support John if it's only just to keep him alive.
	This is the whole point of the newsletter.
	Support the show.
	Support the show.
	Support the old man living.
	Those trolls are listening at noagendastream.com, and they are, many of them are trolling along in the troll room.
	It's always much appreciated.
	And of course, you can always listen on a modern podcast app.
	This is what we recommend because then when we send off, when we fire off the bat signal, you will be notified.
	And if you're in the car, if you're, that's your job.
	Some of these modern podcast apps are pretty elaborate.
	Yes.
	Have you tried any of them?
	Which ones are you trying?
	Yeah, I've had Podverse recently.
	Very impressed.
	Wait until you see Podverse.
	Next Generation.
	Mitch has been building on that for over a year.
	And Martin's come back with Pod Friend.
	It's a friendly podcast app, it's very fun.
	And he has all kinds of comments and stuff you can do.
	And this, the people just keep building.
	They keep on building, all part of Podcasting 2.0, which I just do for the love of it.
	Now you can listen tomorrow.
	We do the show live, the boardroom, we call that.
	About 400 people who listen total.
	So, these modern podcast apps, when we go live, this is something we developed, then boom, you get a notification and you can listen live to the show.
	Or within 90 seconds of publishing, you will get the show in your app.
	No waiting for these legacy apps.
	Don't wait around for those anymore.
	That's newpodcastapps.com.
	No Agenda Show has pioneered the value for value model.
	And the way that works is we don't have any ads, we don't have any forced subscriptions.
	Gosh, there was a great post someone showed me there that I forgot where that was.
	I should have saved it.
	You know, we're not, there's no bonus content that you get if you're a member, you know, no special meetings, you know, no special handshakes.
	Everything is out in the open.
	We give you the best that we have, which is really only 50% because John is slagging.
	So, well, I mean, with my hundreds, it's 75%.
	So we can do better.
	But, you know, bear with us.
	He'll get back to speed.
	He'll be as grouchy and grumpy as always.
	And it'll be pushing back more on me.
	You're not pushing back.
	This is the main complaint.
	You let Adam get away with everything now.
	Well, okay.
	I'm just saying.
	I'm just giving you some feedback, show feedback.
	Who said that?
	People.
	Just people.
	Bots.
	Bots.
	Bots on X.
	So the way we do it is value for value.
	We give you all the value we have, and it is everything.
	We put it all out there.
	All the value we have.
	A lot of work goes into the show.
	John came loaded for bear.
	Did you get some clips from the clip collector?
	From Steve Jobs?
	I have, yes.
	Okay.
	Because I encouraged him to do that and he's helping me out.
	Yeah, I saw him.
	And I have to, I have to, it's, yeah.
	I noticed that.
	I have to organize, get together with him so I can, so he uses my system.
	Your system.
	My system.
	Your naming system.
	Yes.
	I recognize his numbering and naming system.
	Oh, okay.
	So now the clip collector, he's making decisions over which clips to give me and which clips to give you.
	That's nice.
	So the way I see it, he gave half of the clips to you.
	Actually, more than half.
	He gave me a lot of clips.
	He did.
	He did.
	Very nice.
	Well, this is so that's one of the ways you can return value.
	We consider everybody who's listening to the show not to be a fan or audience or listener.
	You're a producer.
	This is something we do it all together.
	So your job is to help us produce, and you can do that by returning value in one of the three T ways time, talent, or treasure.
	That's all we ask for.
	So helping produce clips, boots on the ground reports, or We have artwork, which we always appreciate people doing their best to come up with some prompts that make it funny.
	Now, the episode 1855, which you did on Sunday, was titled Gooder.
	There's no way we couldn't use that.
	And this piece of art, a lot of people came in with Gooder art pieces and totem poles.
	Totem poles were a big hit for some reason.
	Yeah.
	And so we had to see.
	I got a note from one of our producers.
	You're full of crap.
	The totem poles aren't only in Washington.
	And BC, we have them in Alaska.
	It's the same basic group of Indians.
	It is.
	First Nations people, all right?
	Yeah, whatever.
	So, Dan Obi.
	I'm just old enough and having had a heart attack, I can say what I want.
	You know, have you ever tried this on your kids?
	You've given me a heart attack.
	I mean, you should try that now.
	It's a little too late now.
	You're giving me another heart attack.
	Dan OBGYN4 is the one we chose.
	We like this one.
	It had a lot in it.
	It had John's order of the Red Heart.
	It had a microphone.
	It had 33s.
	It had what looked to me like a Mac Plus baked into it.
	And then Curry Dvorak totems behind it.
	The whole thing was good.
	The clouds, no agenda.
	Do you think this was completely AI or did he do some work to it?
	I think it was completely AI.
	Well, it's dynamite.
	It's dynamite, I tell you.
	But he nailed it.
	He did.
	Let's take a look at.
	Some of the other pieces that people sent in.
	He had another version of this, which wasn't quite as compelling.
	Oh, with this, that looked like Super Mario Brothers.
	I didn't quite like that one.
	The one I kind of, we don't do our faces.
	I did like Scaramanga's version of you with tats and a white t shirt, and you had a bandana, and on the wall it says, No agenda is gooder.
	I kind of like that one.
	That was.
	That was kind of cool, but we don't really like using our faces, our likenesses.
	Can we explain why?
	No, I don't.
	I've forgotten why.
	Is it a copyright violation?
	No.
	The first three or four years of the show, every single piece of art was just the two of us in various poses.
	Oh, yeah.
	It was us every, every.
	And it was getting to the point where it was like, no, no, no.
	We got sick of ourselves.
	We were sick of ourselves.
	We got sick of it.
	And we banned it.
	We said, no more pictures of us because there's at least a thousand.
	And people still do it.
	They don't know about the band, apparently.
	Yeah, it's banned.
	Yeah, it's banned.
	But Comicster Blogger, keep doing the butts.
Banning Self Portraits 00:15:32
	You're not going to get chosen, but it's always fun.
	We can say, oh, you did point out that Comicster Blogger nailed your walker on his piece here.
	Yeah.
	With the handbrakes.
	Yeah.
	How are you doing with that thing?
	Are you getting around?
	Well, I only use it when I'm out.
	Here's the reason you have to have it.
	Well, you're out hitting on the lady.
	Hey, lady.
	Hey, girls.
	Because you had your chest ripped open and the breastplate and everything has to heal, they glue it back together and staple it and all this.
	It takes like months and months to get it to the point where it's secure.
	So if you fall, if you fall under the circumstances that I'm currently existing within, you have to be taken back to the emergency room and they're going to have to put you.
	It breaks it open.
	Yeah, we don't want that.
	So that's why you have this little.
	And I only use it outside if I have to walk around.
	And I can walk pretty fast.
	But it's not the walking, it's not the problem.
	It's just the accident, the possibility of a trip.
	And in fact, they tell you this at the hospital if you fall within the next four months, don't let anyone try to pick you up.
	Call 911.
	That's the nature of it.
	If that doesn't drive you to grabbing one of these devices, nothing will.
	Okay.
	All right.
	There you go.
	Now, more horrors.
	Yes.
	Horrors.
	More horrors.
	Nobody wants to see this.
	I saw this.
	Super bad because Tina went to the P.O. box and she got our Little John's Candies collab with Eli the Coffee Guy Gigawatt, which you can't have either.
	You can't have chocolate or coffee.
	Right.
	Oh, man.
	That stuff is so good.
	Yeah, I know that's what everyone's saying.
	And it has little cherries in there.
	And they sent us some chocolate Easter bunnies.
	Also, who's the joker who sent us the pool water?
	Did you get a box of pool water?
	I did not get a box of pool water.
	So it's artisan pool water.
	They're like metal, kind of aluminum bottles.
	It's like a novelty thing.
	It's water.
	It's just water.
	From the swimming pool?
	Well, it's called pool water.
	So yeah, that's kind of funny.
	But they sent it in a box.
	Marked media mail, which I believe is intended for stuff like media, like photographs.
	It's a discount.
	Well, right.
	And so Tina picks it up.
	I wish I was there.
	The Pakistani lady got in her face, You're stealing from me.
	Tina's like, What are you talking about?
	You're stealing.
	This is stealing from the post office, it's stealing from me.
	And Tina's like, Well, I didn't order this.
	Someone sent it to me.
	Well, next time I send it back or I charge you.
	She got really mad about it.
	And it's either, well, but it's from one of my husband's millions of listeners.
	Well, I don't care about him.
	What is he, podcaster?
	I go away.
	So don't do that, people.
	Don't rip off the post office.
	They got mad at us, the recipients.
	Not supposed to do that.
	Yeah, you're not supposed to do that, I guess.
	I didn't know.
	But it's appreciated, the pool water, but not as much as that Little John's Candy's gigawatt stuff.
	It's a dynamite combination.
	So, we want to thank all of our producers who support us financially.
	That is the treasure part of time, talent, and treasure.
	And we will thank everybody $50 and above.
	We have special spots reserved for those who can afford more.
	Just like any big Hollywood production, you can be an executive or associate executive producer.
	If you got the goods, so $200 or more, you receive the title of associate executive producer, which is an absolute bona fide production credit.
	You can use it anywhere.
	Hollywood credits are recognized, including IMDb.com.
	Go take a look.
	You'll see thousands are in there.
	And we'll read your note.
	$300 and above, same deal, only then you're an executive producer and we'll read your note.
	And we start off with $1,333.13 from Sir Anonymous Driver of the Gap.
	And he says, John, glad you're getting better.
	I can't deal with another loss this year.
	Oh, goodness.
	This is sad.
	We lost our son in the third trimester late last year.
	And this month we lost our four year old puppy unexpectedly.
	The podcast is a constant that I truly love and look forward to.
	No more losses.
	Only additions in this year ahead, with one exception.
	No more AI ISOs.
	They cheapen the product, he says.
	He wants F22 Karma, which I'm sure he won't mind if I upgrade it to F35 Karma.
	And when I'm thinking of you, sir, anonymous driver of the gap.
	You've got.
	Karma.
	Hey, is your foot hooked in the mic cable again?
	No.
	Lindsey Carson and Rizaka?
	Rizaka?
	I don't know.
	Georgia.
	Rizaka?
	Rizaka?
	Probably Rizaka.
	Could be Rizaka.
	Rizaka.
	I'm thinking of Rizaka.
	Anyways, 86765.
	Another big donation.
	That's pretty good.
	Dear John and Adam, ITM gents, this day has been a long time coming.
	Please deduce me.
	Here's a D. Sorry, it's the wrong one.
	You've been deduced.
	Wrong button.
	Play that one.
	What, the one I just played?
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me load it up again.
	Here we go.
	Here's a D douche for the re douche.
	I was D douche for the re douche.
	Yeah, it's my mistake.
	I have now finally paid my value for value penances with a dame worthy donation coincidence that I made the largest sale of my real estate career in the same week.
	In the same week that JCD returned from the Lucid Dead.
	I think not.
	My sister Lauren and my friend Alex both hit me in the mouth a very long time ago, and I'm grateful for all things no agenda.
	I can hear my voice just going.
	You want me to pick it up?
	Because this is a long one.
	I'm going to finish this one.
	I'm going to plow through it.
	You can do it.
	You can do it.
	Go ahead.
	Go ahead.
	And world events, and especially all the wild stuff happening in schools, has been a huge part of keeping me determined to stay the course with her and with her two sisters.
	Yes, of course.
	You don't want your kids to be nut jobs like the rest out there.
	Yep.
	The lifeline the show became during COVID also stands out in my experience.
	The show jargon, jingles, ISOs, mixes, and inside jokes are a constant source of entertainment and make me feel like I'm part of something special.
	You are.
	But my favorite story arc.
	In the time I've been listening, is witnessing Adam's faith conversion.
	What a testimony.
	Anyway, ZZZ, I am beyond thrilled that I will.
	I don't know what that means.
	Oh, anyways.
	Anyways.
	Okay.
	I am beyond thrilled that I have a chance to celebrate the 11th anniversary of my 33rd birthday this year by attending my first meetup with my sister and fellow human resources in Fredericksburg.
	Woo!
	I'd like to be known as Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters.
	And if any of the No Agenda Nation needs a realtor in Northwest Georgia, Google me and let's connect.
	Rose and hot Cheetos for the round table.
	Jingle requests a foamer, and you've got prayers, and you've got prayers should do it.
	Thank you for your courage, Lindsay.
	You've got prayers.
	Let me see.
	I don't think I got the.
	Did we, guys, did we order the Cheetos?
	The Cheetos and the rose?
	They always have Cheetos.
	They eat them.
	Cheetos and hot rose.
	Okay.
	And that was 86765.
	We see what you did there.
	Associate executive producership for Sir Nobody of the 3D printer in Parlin, New Jersey, $2.33.30.
	Hey, John Adamy says, I'm seeing 33s everywhere, so I must be grateful and donate.
	I figured I'd plug a friend's Kickstarter.
	I was at it.
	I was at it.
	It's for a movie follow up from the makers of Missouri Breaks, The Ballad of Missouri Bilturn, an indie film that made it to Amazon streaming.
	Oh, we should all stream that then.
	The Ballad of Missouri Bilturn.
	I like building up small projects to get through the nihilism that has seemed to have inhabited mainstream media for some reason.
	Tin foil hat people have fun.
	With why nihilism is going on.
	Where even shadows fear to tread, phase one.
	That's the Kickstarter.
	I'll put that in the show notes.
	Thank you as always for the show.
	It breaks up the long hours of logistics work with two jobs that are 24 7.
	So nobody of the third 3D printer, definitely working on a title change, got to look up the accountant, Jersey James Scott.
	And we thank you very much for your courage.
	Yeah, onward to Matthew.
	Our buddy Matthew Martell in Broomall, Pennsylvania.

	I don't think it's Void Zero's problem.
	No, it's not.
	Then we go to La Jolla Salt Corporation.
	Void Zero is not doing the mailing.
	No, he's not doing it.
	I thought he was going to help you.
	Yeah, he's going to help me.
	But it's not, it's beside the point we had.
	There's a lot of things at play all at once.
	Okay.
	There's a lot of things at play.
	La Jolla Salt Corporation comes in with $210.60, and we are very thankful.
	They say, Decimate dry skin with a luxurious sea salt scrub from lajoyasalt.com.
	Enjoy the dazzling moisture and exfoliating power of our small batch sea salt scrubs and handmade by the sea in the village of La Jolla.
	All things being equal, select to scrub, rinse, and then tug to avoid chafing.
	People, please support the show.
	It's good to have you back.
	Buzzkill, happy birthday.
	Thank you for your courage and go podcasting.
	All right, I'll read this one.
	Eli, the coffee guy, of course, in Bensonville, Illinois, who has that coffee.

	Might not be a coincidence, Artemis 2 launched on April Fool's Day and is being pitched as our return to the moon.
	A little too on the nose, nonetheless.
	I wish the lunar travelers godspeed.
	It's the perfect feel good distraction from Iran, high gas prices, and the usual background noise.
	Maybe the moon shot still works as a national therapy.

	Stay caffeinated, Eli the coffee guy.

	Yeah, how about that?
	Dame Tanya Wyman from New York, New York with $201.
	It's good to see your name on the list, Tanya.
	We hope you're doing well.
	And she says, JCD, get well and happy birthday.
	Sending many soft hugs because I can't squeeze that chest.
	Ladies, stop squeezing the podcast host.
	This one brings me to countess level plus an associate executive producer credit.
	Well deserved.
	Put me down for the Countess of New York City.
	John, when you can drink again, I'll buy you something fancy.
	You bet you will.
	Fancy.

Fabulous Olive Oil Tip 00:02:54
	Before we get to John's fabulous tip of the day, just fabulous tip of the day, I got a couple ISOs to go through.
	I see you only have one.
	I have four.
	So why don't I try mine?
	What's that?
	Play my one.
	Your one?
	I have an appointment with Anywhere But Here.
	That's actually not bad.
	It's not bad.
	I have an appointment with Anywhere But Here.
	Okay.
	Here's what I have.
	It's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing.
	Callback ISO.
	Everybody who loses gets a podcast.
	Okay, maybe.
	It was great.
	Yeah, it's a classic.
	And then this is so good.
	All right, I'll let you decide.
	I think the so good.
	Oh, you like that one, huh?
	This is so good.
	All right.
	Or that or the Trump.
	Well, the Trump is kind of classic.
	Everybody who loses gets a podcast.
	I kind of like that one.
	All right, go for it.
	For it.
	All right.
	And then we'll go for that one.
	In the meantime, stand back and sign for John's tip of the day.
	Great advice for you and me.
	Just the tip with JCD and sometimes Adam.
	So, you know, he had the tip about the honey, Manuka, Manauka honey, right?
	Sure.
	It's the one honey in the world that's got a composition deep within the honey that's somewhat different than all other honeys.
	Well, it turns out.
	And I probably would have known about this years ago.
	I probably wouldn't have had the heart attack.
	It turns out that Chris is going to dramatize that.
	Yeah, right.
	Keep going.
	That there's an olive oil that has, that there's a one spot in the world that makes an olive oil whose composition includes a lot of polyphenols that are healthy for the heart and anti inflammatory that are part and parcel of the oil itself.
	And you can go all over the world.
	And everybody should note that.
	Olive oil is not just from Italy or Greece or Spain.
	Most South American countries make it, and I always recommend trying it because you have different flavor profiles.
	California has terrific olive oil, by the way, and France has terrific olive oil.
	But this health oriented olive oil, which is also cheap because nobody knows about it, and it comes from a kind of a lower income area, is from Morocco.
	So it's Morocco olive oil, and the one I've been using is Atlas.
	Which is available on Amazon for a liter for 24 bucks, rather medium priced, not expensive at all.
	But Moroccan olive oil.
	You can do a little research and you'll find out about it.
	So, is this so?
Family Cookbook Ideas 00:06:23
	I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong, that you are indeed in the final completion stages of a cookbook.
	Yeah.
	And the family cookbook.
	Oh, it's a family cookbook.
	And I understand.
	That you are folding the vinegar book into the family cookbook.
	So I understand that somebody in the family obviously tipped you off to humiliate me to get back to work.
	And will you be including some olive oil tips in this family cookbook?
	Oh, there's a whole chapter on olive oil, yeah.
	And what is the name for this cookbook yet?
	The Dvorak Family Cookbook.
	Oh.
	What?
	What?
	No one can pronounce that.
	They'll be like, I want that cookbook.
	Okay, well, you come up with a good name and we're going to use it.
	The family that cooks together stays together.
	Well, there's some truth to that.
	There is everybody, your tip of the day.
	Noagendafun.com, tipoftheday.net.
	Created by Dana Bernetti.
	Yes, cooking with Dork, cooking with the dorks.

	That's right.
	We work on the High Holy Days because it's John's birthday, too.
	And he has resurrected, he's back.
	We're happy to have him.
	End of show mix is from the one and only Darren O'Neill.
