Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak dissect the Southern Poverty Law Center as a fraud charged with wire and bank fraud for manufacturing extremism, while linking Kash Patel's $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic to a broader retribution campaign. They analyze Trump's alleged loyalty to neoconservatives over domestic allies, his controversial tariff modifications on steel and aluminum, and claims of Iranian war interference by Bibi Netanyahu. The hosts also address vaccine safety conspiracies, UK tobacco bans, and stolen art in Zelensky's videos before concluding with listener shout-outs, new "Knights" inductees, and upcoming international meetups.

ER Chaos and Illegal Aliens00:09:12
Uh, nuts.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, April 23rd, 2026.
It's a Joe Award winning Cuban Nation Media Assassination episode 1862.
This is No Agenda.
Band broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six.
Minding the Minds.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Refinery Row in Northern California.
We're all asking Donald Trump, Daddy, are we there yet?
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
So, I don't want to be the one to complain because I am not the worst wounded on this show.
But I have the cedar fever.
You have the what?
The cedar fever.
Oh, cedar.
Oh, this is every year this happens.
Oh, and the.
I thought you had the HIPAA filter, the HIPAA filter.
Oh, it's everywhere.
And during the bat signal, it caught in my throat.
And during this opening, it caught in my throat.
And it's, ah.
And the only cure for a fever is more cowbell.
It's just so bad.
Anyway, I'll get through it.
How are you, ma'am?
We got a little scare.
Scare.
We were afeared for you.
I had to go into the hospital for a certain checkup, and then they outfitted me with a bunch of gear.
I got strapped.
He's strapped, everybody.
What are you strapped with?
What are you strapped with?
You got a knife?
I got some uncomfortable device on and some sort of a pad.
Some weird sticker.
It looks like a decal that sends, that collects data 24 7 for two weeks.
And does this send, does this connect it to an iPhone?
Please tell me it is.
Yeah.
To Jay's iPhone?
Whose iPhone?
No, no, this is connected.
I had my phone and they said, there's an app.
You got to have it because it collects on the phone.
Wait a minute.
You showed them your phone.
They went, what is that?
They said, This phone is old.
And I said, Yeah, it works.
It works.
What am I supposed to say?
And so they gave me a phone.
Oh, they gave an iPhone?
No, not an iPhone, some Android.
So your Android was not even compatible with today's modern technology.
Wow.
You know, because here's, I got no information.
Did you get my text?
I sent you a text.
Did you get my text?
No.
You didn't get my text.
It's on your phone.
On the phone.
Oh, you should send it to the text system.
You are confusing.
You call me from your phone.
You text me from your phone.
Now I start using that.
I'm like, hey, this is John's phone.
You're in the hospital.
And then I might as well not exist.
Meanwhile, Horowitz is like, oh, yeah, I talked to John.
Everything's fine.
Yeah.
You know, Mimi keeps telling me stop talking to Horowitz.
It hurts Adam's feelings.
It does.
Well, you know, since I didn't hear back from you, like, I only talked to Horowitz because I had to skip the show because they were doing something and this horrible situation occurred with me and a specific doctor at the hospital who I chewed out.
And then this live-that goes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Can you talk about it?
Yeah, I'll talk about it.
So I had this doctor that was at the top, there's a doctor that's in charge of the floor.
Do you mind if I go back a second?
Yeah.
So I heard that you were, you went to the ER.
This is the information I got.
You went to, here's how it was conveyed to me.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, this is going to interrupt my story, but okay.
Well, I think it flows into your story.
So John's in the ER.
Okay.
Is he okay?
Well, yeah.
But he's been waiting for hours, and I got the impression that you were lying on a gurney in the hallway.
Oh, no.
Mm-mm.
Might as well have been, though.
Okay.
Because I started pulling the bats out.
So the reason I'm irked about it is because this doctor comes in, a small Chinese woman, and says, We got to keep another day.
What?
No, I come in and I'm in and I'm out.
Another day.
And she looked at nothing to determine this.
So the next day, I'm upstairs, stuck there, and she comes in.
Uh, you got to keep you another day.
Well, you know, so I got this was from a long series of things, and I so I got mad at her and told her she's not interested in the patients whatsoever.
And then I said to her, This is very dramatic because Brennan was there witnessing this.
Here it comes.
I said, You know what?
You're a lousy doctor, you have no concern for the patient's needs or desires.
And then I kept reading it of the riot act, and so she left.
Wait, she didn't say anything?
She didn't.
Well, she kind of pushed back a little bit.
Did she huff?
She should have at least huffed?
Maybe.
She had a mask on.
Oh, of course.
Of course.
She was masked.
Always masked.
And so one of the nurses comes in.
And I'm gossiping with her because I do that with the nurses.
I told her what I did.
And I said what I did.
And the nurse says, You want to file a report?
Yes, please.
And I took about five beats.
I said, Yeah.
And so she rushes over to the console and says, Tell me everything you know.
Yeah.
It was obvious to me.
That this doctor is a problem doctor.
That was my determination.
And so then, meanwhile, then the supervisor comes in and grills me and makes me tell the story.
And then she's, Oh, you know, we're trying to be for the patient.
When the nurses don't like the doctor, that's a problem with that doctor.
And then there is a, I don't know that, by the way, what you just said, I'm not sure that's true, but I'm, because I don't want to demean the nurse, but it's probably true.
But then I got another supervisor who comes in.
So what I've done was I, like an a hole that I can be, if you haven't noticed.
No, not at all.
Went through the system, you know, because there are ways you can complain.
But doing it from the outside in, having worked in a bureaucracy for eight years, doing it from the outside in is not the same as doing it from the inside out.
Aha.
So she's in trouble.
And rightly so, because she was just trying to up her.
Do you think she gets paid more by keeping you there longer?
Is there insufficient stuff?
Well, I concluded the following If you're a Medicare patient, The money's automatic.
Right.
So the money's coming.
They just have to.
They don't have to fight you for the money.
So you're a gold mine.
So, Medicare patients, let's do what can we do?
And so I think that all these systems, not just the one I'm here with, all these systems across the country are gouging the government.
That's why Medicare.
Oh, what are we going to do?
You know, it's going broke.
Yeah, for good reason.
They're doing everything they can to break it.
I'm surprised they didn't slap you on a vent for another $11,000.
Let's put this old geezer on a vent.
We know that's money in the bank.
Yeah.
Wow.
Hey, can we publish that data that they're collecting?
Can we make like a real time JCD graph, health graph?
Well, we're going to try to get all the records.
Well, I was concerned.
You know, if I was concerned and if it was bad enough that it involved you, I would have called you.
Yeah.
I only called Horowitz.
Because I had to skip to show.
I know, but the fact that you didn't call or didn't even answer my text made me feel like it was much worse.
Because all I got from Jay is, hey, just an FYI, John's at the ER.
I go, okay.
I mean, I'm not complaining.
By the way, the reason I was in the ER, because when they go in there, you get checked in.
That's where you have to go.
I was there forever because there was a fiasco situation, which is another whole story, which I won't tell.
There was some kind of horrible accident that took place?
No, it was just a logistics thing.
It was ridiculous.
Yeah, let me guess.
A bunch of Illegal aliens had priority over you.
Manuka Gold Pain Relief Magic00:03:03
That was my conclusion.
But, you know, it's possible.
Anyway.
As long as they get their money.
Hey, you know what?
You sound good.
In fact, you want to.
Shall I just tell you what my text was to you?
I'm sorry?
Shall I read you the text?
Oh, hold on a second.
Let me turn off the heater.
That was going to be my next complaint.
I was just.
It's so off now.
I can hear you.
Okay.
So here's my text.
Um, Hope you're enjoying your stay.
What a bummer.
This sucks.
Don't worry about clips for Thursday.
I'll have us well covered.
Just show up and grouse as usual.
Come on, man.
That's a great text for somebody who's in the audience.
You're like an amateur writer.
Can't throw anything out.
Oh, man.
I'm glad you're okay.
You sound great.
You sound fantastic.
Yeah, about an hour from now, I'll be grasping.
Well, between the two of us, man, I've had this fever.
You can literally feel the pollen sticking in your throat.
It's nuts.
Yeah, you say this every year.
Well, I had it in January, and now it's come back.
So this is now, you know, so much.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
No, but everyone has it.
Everyone has scratchy eyes.
Who knows?
It's probably the chemtrails.
You got the heap of going?
I got the heap of going.
I got everything going.
What really seems to work?
Oh, Manuka Gold.
The Manuka Gold Honey.
Yeah.
So I had, along with this, I had really pain in my left side and it kind of went to my back.
And it was muscle pain, muscle spasm.
This is old guy talk.
So, Patina says, Hey, we got some of that Manuka Gold pain relief.
So, I opened the thing.
I was expecting honey goo.
No, it's like a balm, you know, a soft gelatin balm.
And I rubbed that, and within two minutes, the pain is gone.
I was blown away by that.
That stuff is magic.
I can hear Cal from Lavender Blossoms going, Hey, my stuff is better.
But I was blown away by the Manuka Gold pain relief, not a sponsor.
What's in it?
Oh, well, CBD to start with.
I don't have it here, but it has a whole list of ingredients.
You know, it's all natural stuff mint and this and that, and it smells great.
And it also doesn't, it's not like you have honey sticking to you.
The skin absorbs it and it's gone, you know, so it's not like it's going to rub off if you go lay in bed or something like that.
It's good stuff.
So there's a tip.
So I figured.
I do a little dive in the archives to start us off today because we both have some.
And by the way, I'm more than prepared with clips.
SPLC Hate Group Funding Scandal00:15:54
Excuse me.
I was just trying to get my clips in.
No, I'm just saying you made it sound like I couldn't do clips.
I have backup people and I want to thank them, but my wife does some stuff for me.
I do my own too, by the way.
But Steve Jones loaded me up.
I know he did.
I know he did.
Yeah.
But you don't have to say, by the way, like I think you're an invalid or something.
Well, no, I was just saying that so I make sure to get my clips in.
Because you've already, like, you know, said that you're going to cover my clips and I just grouse for the show.
And I just wanted to back you off on that.
Well, I was not intending to override your clips because, as you know, I see your clips when they come in.
And I thought, wow, Steve got a lot of good clips for John.
So don't worry.
Don't worry.
They're kind of the clue.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
You can play all your clips.
It's fine because that's what you said, you little spoiled brat.
Yep.
But I was going to start us off with something to start you into your clips by going back 15, 12, nine, and six years into the No Agenda Archive because sometimes we've just been right for years.
We've talked about these jabronis, the SPLC, and I think it was inconclusive the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Yeah, you really have a.
Yeah, I got a real distrust for these guys.
What do you know about the Southern Poverty?
I mean, what kind of name is that?
The Southern.
It's a great name, actually, I should say, as a New World Order speak.
Southern Poverty Law Center.
Is poverty like for poor people?
Like it serves poor of the South?
Let's just review who they are for a moment.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a group who are always referenced, not just by media, but also by politicians as tracking.
The evil that exists in America, evil, primarily hate groups, white supremacists, racists, and I've always felt very uneasy about the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They are the go to guys.
You know what I believe is probably going on here?
Scam.
Well, that's a word I very rarely use, but I think it's something like you get with the Rainbow Coalition or that thing, Sharpton Duck, which is like, yeah, exactly.
We're going to pester you.
You want to get off our list?
You know, when's our donation coming in?
You know, you got the Southern Poverty Law Center going on.
Yeah.
You want to be a hate group or you want to help us?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hate or help?
Hate or help people.
Because obviously, if you give us money, you're not a hate group.
We can easily take you off the list.
This is about the Southern Poverty Law Center, who we have been tracking for a decade.
Until it became really popular.
And we were pretty much one of the few saying, wow, look at these guys.
They got four, $500 million in this huge endowment and they build up hate lists and they just play.
Yeah, they became a juggernaut for fundraising.
Well, and not only that, but they are at the center, at the center of all these fact check networks.
So if you want to know if a statement is true, then you go to the Fact Check Network, which is.
Always, all the networks, all the websites, all the news providers, all say that they use the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, as one of their guiding beacons of light in who is hateful, who is a racist, who's on the list, who's not on the list.
Two weeks ago, employees complaining of toxic workplace, only old white men running the show, everything that they accuse others of, the Southern Poverty Law Center, they have been guilty of themselves.
Apparently, for a long time.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, we never liked these guys.
No, it was so obvious to us that this is bullcrap.
I have four clips.
All right.
First, I got just a simple clip, which is the SPLC fraud charges, because they've been charged with.
I'm going to tell you what these clips are about.
They've been charged with fraud because they're sponsoring these hate groups.
And then.
In fact, let me not only tell you what this is about, let me tell you my thoughts on it.
They not only go after these hate groups, but they, to make it so they can fundraise against the hate groups, it turns out, as these clips will provide, they have been financing the hate groups.
And in fact, that hate group situation, that great meetup, they're very good people on both sides hoaxed that got Biden to run for office.
Was financed by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They gave them the money to do that protest.
And while everybody's up in arms about this, and I think it is disgusting, I have to say the following.
I think this is marketing genius.
You know, while I was looking for those clips, in fact, I probably have it still in the Raw, you said, I've been thinking about this for a long time.
We should get in on this game, is what you literally said.
This is a great gambit.
These guys know what they're doing.
It's like a marketing taken to the max.
Although, the way they did it, I guess because they did it over, you know, there was some fraudulent stuff going over state lines, there was money laundering.
They overcompensated and got themselves in a pickle.
And I'm glad they did.
I don't like these guys.
They're phonies, obviously, phonies.
By what happened?
This is play SPLC fraud charges.
The Justice Department announced fraud charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center over its nonprofit investigations into extremist groups.
CBS News Justice reporter Jake Rosen has the details.
A federal grand jury in Alabama indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts of wire and bank fraud related charges on Tuesday, the Justice Department announced, accusing the group of paying members of extremist organizations as part of its efforts to investigate them without disclosing the practice to donors or banks.
The SPLC has denied the allegations.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch said at a news conference announcing the charges that the SPLC is, quote, a nonprofit entity that purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred.
By reporting on extremist groups and conducting research to inform law enforcement groups with the goal of dismantling.
But, quote, the SPLC was not dismantling these groups.
It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.
You know, I have the indictment in front of me.
If I just can go through a few things before we play your next clips.
Yeah.
This is, I mean, it reads better than any report.
So they had fictitious entities, these front companies with names like Rare Books Warehouse, Tech Writers Group.
Northwest Technologies, Fox Photography, and my favorite, the Center Investigative Agency.
Yeah, literally CIA.
Cute.
It's very cute.
That's a little knot.
That's what you do.
That's what you do.
So the Nazis, this is the National Alliance member.
He was on the payroll for 20 years.
And where they went wrong with this is one of these guys broke into a violent extremist group's headquarters, stole 25 boxes of documents, and One of the high level SPLC employees coordinated the theft, knew the documents were stolen, went back, returned the originals, got in again, and then published a Hate Watch article.
I mean, these people are completely, they had no scruples.
No scruples.
The imperial wizard of the United States clans of America on their payroll.
Let's see.
The former chairman of the National Alliance was on the payroll.
Now, what is interesting is that the bank that they use actually caught them in 2020 and they investigated these shell accounts.
The SPLC president and board chair wrote a letter admitting that the accounts were open for SPLC operations instead of stopping.
They switched and started using ACH payments with, uh, common like Rare Books 050 and IP Research Con 050.
And then they would load the money onto gift cards.
Oh, money laundering.
Yeah, of course that's money laundering.
Um, and I think Besant is a part of this because he has been doing a lot of looking at the financial networks, forensics.
Yes.
So, uh, they were so, um, What is the charm looking for?
You know, they didn't care.
No, they got, this is what happened.
They got sloppy.
Yeah, when the bank doesn't do anything and nobody seems to care, especially during the four years of Biden, it just gets worse and worse.
But we spotted it early on.
I mean, and I think the point you made when you had that earliest of clips where you say Southern poverty loss.
What has it got to do with poverty?
It's like pay.
They've been going after, they got their reputation by going after one hate group.
Some years back, that's how they got their start.
And they made a business out of that.
They get nothing to do with Southern poverty.
It's like they're not doing anything for the poor.
It's like the Patriot Act.
It's the obvious.
Yeah, there's nothing patriotic about it.
No, exactly.
And I'm so happy that this is happening.
This has been 15 years of the show.
We've always been grousing about these guys.
And I had completely forgotten they are at the center of the fact check list.
That's why there's almost no M5M coverage of this.
Almost none.
Because they were all using SPLC.
SPLC says, we have a comment from SPLC.
They've all been seen as a resource rather than a target of an investigation.
Yeah, it's like an authoritative resource.
Resource.
If they say there were Nazis in Charlottesville, then there were Nazis in Charlottesville.
Yeah, unbelievable.
So, this, I got three NPR, this is one series of clips from NPR.
This is the DOJ.
This is somewhat, some analysis is pretty good.
For decades, the Southern Poverty Law Center has been known for tracking hate groups.
On Tuesday, the Justice Department announced federal criminal charges against the nonprofit in connection with its use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.
NPR Justice Correspondent Ryan Lucas is covering this.
And he's with us now in our studios.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Before we get to the charges, would you just quickly remind us of what the Southern Poverty Law Center does?
So, the Southern Poverty Law Center, it's also known as the SPLC.
It's a 55 year old civil rights organization.
It has a storied history.
It's based in Montgomery, Alabama.
It started out as a law center doing a lot of civil rights work, trying to help end the vestiges of the Jim Crow era in the South.
And its work later expanded to monitoring white supremacist groups, hate groups, including the KKK, and extremist groups more broadly.
What is the administration saying they did?
That they say is illegal.
Well, look, there are 11 counts in this indictment against the SPLC, including wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
And what the indictment alleges is that the SPLC defrauded its donors by telling them that the group was working to dismantle extremist groups, but was in fact using donated money, the DOJ says, to fund extremist groups.
Court papers say that between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC paid around $3 million in total to informants affiliated with several hate groups, that includes the KKK.
It says the SPLC set up Bank accounts in the names of fictitious entities to pay these informants, the idea being to hide that the money was coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
But the indictment says that in setting up these accounts, the SPLC was making false statements to the bank.
Can I just play one of their donation ads from the SPLC?
This is from 11 years ago.
I'm Steve Centuria, and I have been a supporter of the Southern Poverty Law Center for at least 20 years.
It's a fantastic organization that.
These are all mixed couples, black women, white men.
I think that anyone and everyone that is.
Concerned with justice in this country, they should do what they can to support.
It's so amazing to be able to use law to actually achieve justice for people.
I've often said that Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center stand between civilization and barbarism.
And I think it's the most unique organization in America.
I talk to my friends who are still teachers about what they can do in their classrooms.
Some of them do know about teaching tolerance, others don't.
Intend to spread the word even more.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the premier organization to deal with the rights of people who need help and need someone to go to bat for them in the legal system.
This is the outfit that sued the Klan and put them out of business.
I just couldn't imagine what these guys do on a day to day basis.
It's quite touching.
My philosophy is if you don't want to be in the trenches, find the best person you can who is and support them.
If it takes 10 years and all kinds of talent to prosecute someone, your group's willing to do it.
Fight hate, teach intolerance, make sure we seek justice.
I want to stand with Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
When I heard about the Southern Poverty Law Center, I said, Oh my, that's another organization that I must support.
I said, This is a good place for me to continue to give what little I have and to spread the word as long as I live.
Yes, and I would like to remind everybody the No Agenda Show is a value for value podcast.
No tricks, no gimmicks, no ads, no levels, no subscriptions.
You can support us at NoAgendaDonations.com.
Yeah.
So back to NPR.
Now, NPR, if you haven't noticed on the first part of it, they are doing the reporting from the perspective of a skeptic.
They think it's the administration.
This could be alleged, alleged, alleged.
And this is, you know, they make it sound like maybe they can't quite get over the top with it.
I mean, I think they'd like to.
But they're still supporting the Southern Poverty Law Center at NPR.
It's pretty obvious that they're disappointed.
Yeah.
That this came to light.
So, how has the SPLC responded to this?
Well, the group put out a video statement before the charges were announced saying that the SPLC was under federal investigation.
And in that video, the nonprofit CEO, Brian Fair, defended the payments made to informants.
He says these people risked their lives to infiltrate extremist groups and provide information on their activities.
It was done to protect SPLC staff to gather intelligence on violent threats.
He said that information was shared with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI.
And he said that information no doubt saved lives.
He also said the SPLC will defend its work.
We will not be intimidated into silence or contrition.
And we will not abandon our mission or the communities we serve.
Now, Fair also argued in that video that the SPLC is being targeted for political reasons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, of course.
Defending the Indictment Video Claims00:03:52
Of course, the mainstream, they have to defend them because all of their allegations have always been, it's almost like, well, it was in the New York Times.
Well, the Southern Department of Law Center said it, so it's got to be right.
That's what it is.
So, yeah, and I don't think they're embarrassed about anything.
They're bummed.
Oh, man, got to find a new guy to do this for us.
Yeah, that's probably pretty accurate.
Yeah, I'd say.
Hear the rest of this apologia.
Well, Ryan, we have seen the Justice Department under this administration go after President Trump's critics, often at his explicit direction.
So, what about Fair's argument that this indictment is political?
Well, look, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch delivered this news at a press conference yesterday.
He was asked about concerns about politics in this investigation.
Here's what he said.
Well, I mean, look, it's free from political.
There is nothing political about this indictment or this investigation.
Now, it is no secret, though, that conservatives have been highly critical of the Southern Poverty Law Center for years.
They say it unfairly labels conservative organizations.
One example they point to is an SPLC report in 2024 that described Turning Point USA.
That's the group, of course, that was started by the right wing activist Charlie Kirk.
Described it as a case study of the hard right.
And then after Kirk was assassinated last year, the FBI.
FBI ended a long running relationship that it had with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And at the time, FBI Director Kash Patel said that the civil rights group had turned into what he called a partisan smear machine.
Now, this prosecution, this case, of course, is just getting underway.
So we will see how this all plays out in court.
I love the music there.
Please feel so good.
Patel calls it a smear machine.
And so, what happens to him over the last few days?
Oh, before you go there?
Because that is absolutely connected.
First, we have to notice that this is now happening now that Pam Bondi is gone and Blanche is the attorney general.
Can you imagine how this would have played out if Bondi had announced this?
It would have been pathetic.
Yes, exactly.
Like, no.
So you had to go.
It was perfect timing.
I just want to play a little bit of Blanche.
Of what he said in this indictment video.
Yeah, take it.
Yeah, then we'll switch over to the smear machine.
Yeah, we'll get to the smear machine.
Good afternoon.
Today, a few minutes ago, in the Middle District of Alabama, a grand jury returned an 11 count indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
According to the charges in the indictment, the SPLC is a nonprofit entity that purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred by reporting on extremist groups and conducting research to inform law enforcement groups with the goal of dismantling these groups.
As the indictment describes, the SPLC was not dismantling these groups.
It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.
The indictment describes this conduct in detail.
But one troubling example is that the SPLC was paying a member of the leadership group that planned the Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 that resulted in the death of one person.
Atlantic Beer Lawsuit and Defamation00:12:46
And injured dozens more.
Okay.
As you said at the top of the show, top of the hour, I believe this goes much deeper than people may see at face value.
What the SPLC paid that guy to do and probably more people at Charlottesville was a deliberate attempt to undermine and get rid of Trump because, as you already said, it was the complete precursor to this super clip.
I ran for president in 2020 because of what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017.
Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks, carrying Nazi swastikas and chanting the same exact anti-Semitic bile that was heard in Germany in the early 30s.
To run for president after Charlottesville.
Close your eyes and remember what you saw.
Close your eyes.
Neo Nazis, white supremacists, and the KKK coming out of the fields with torches lighted, veins bulging, chanting the same anti Semitic bile heard across Europe in the 30s.
I spoke to the mom who lost her daughter as a consequence of those neo Nazis and white supremacists.
Premises come out of the fields in America with torches carrying Nazi banners.
That's bad singing the same sick anti Semitic bile song in Germany in the 30s.
30s, and when her daughter was killed, Nazis, they pressed went to the then President Trump and said, What do you think?
I knew then, Nazi, I knew I'd do something, and that's how I decided to run because democracy was literally at stake.
He said, They're very fine people on both sides.
Very fine people.
And you know, he and then he made he evidenced.
Everything that we thought.
Every other time the Ku Klux Klan has been involved, they've worn hoods so they're not identified.
Trump!
Under his presidency, they came out of those woods with no hoods.
His presidency!
Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years.
Remember this one?
He was literally at stake.
And then he evidenced everything that we thought.
Every other time the Ku Klux Klan has been involved, they wore hoods so they're not identified.
Under his presidency, they came out of those woods with no hoods.
Under his presidency.
Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years.
Remember this one?
You will not replace us.
It was there on August of 2017, we saw Klansmen and white supremacists.
And neo Nazis come out in the open.
And that's when we heard the words of the President of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation.
Very fine people on both sides?
Now, you know, it's easy to forget because we've been.
This is America.
Even more important, we have to remember who we are.
He said there were, quote, some very fine people on both sides.
We can't forget what happened in Charlottesville.
Inundated with this messaging for over a decade.
But the Trump Nazi, oh, he's got Mein Kampf next to his bed.
This was all coordinated from SPLC and whoever else is affiliated with them, which is, oh, I don't know, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC.
It got so bad that we started making jingles.
Donald loves Nazis.
Donald loves Nazis.
CNN say that he's KKK.
So, of course, this will not stand.
So, we have to bring in the smear machine.
Yes.
So, we have Kash Patel at the center of a lot of this.
So, we have all of a sudden, he's got to go because he's a drunk.
Well, what didn't help is the team at the Olympics where he's guzzling the beer.
No, that's the whole source of everything.
Yes.
Because they got nothing else.
Now, I have two ways to go.
I got one clip of Kash Patel suing, or I said I have the origin story, which is the woman who wrote the article in The Atlantic was on a Jen Psaki show.
Hold on.
So, The Atlantic article, from what I understand, I think AP retracted a story they had referencing the article.
It seems like the Atlantic may have gotten a little bit over their skis on what was written here.
Yes, but they're sticking by it.
All right.
So why don't we play that?
Let's start with the origin story.
This is the Patel origin.
This is Sarah Fitzpatrick, the writer of this article.
And listen to, I got two, it's only two clips.
She's on with Saki, who's out to get everybody.
Well, she's out to get ratings.
Another moment in the sun.
Joining me now is the reporter who broke that story, staff writer for The Atlantic, Sarah Fitzpatrick.
Let's get into some of the details about this because Patel's excessive drinking seems to be what is alarming a lot of the sources in here.
There are multiple anecdotes that refer to that.
That's understandable.
They're moving meetings, people couldn't wake him.
What more have you heard about the extent of his drinking habits and how it seems to be affecting his ability to serve as FBI director?
I think the key point is that this is happening in places in which it is public.
There are lots and lots of people around who are seeing it.
Who are hearing about it, who are learning about it.
For example, we have video of Patel chugging a beer to excess on video.
We've all seen it.
Everybody's seen it.
Yes.
And I think it's just.
That was in the locker room.
He was on official travel at that time.
There were ongoing threats in the United States at that time.
So, you know, it is a very, very clear pattern that has occurred in multiple locations over a long period of time.
And it's that pattern which is giving everyone pause.
These are not one off events.
This is almost as good as saying someone's mentally unstable.
You know, it's like.
I am going to analyze this guy.
And because of the way he chugged his beer, I only saw him chugging one bottle of beer.
He'd chug a whole beer.
He was in the locker room.
Most of it went outside of his mouth.
Of the first time, the USA, the coach of the team, of the USA team in the Olympics, was his buddy.
They're buddies because Patel plays hockey.
Yes, he's a hockey dude.
Now, if you're a drunk, you don't play hockey, but okay.
Well, not very well.
Yes, I wouldn't.
You'd play, but maybe not very well.
So he was invited into the locker room, which was, you know, I would say probably not the, it wasn't a good idea, but okay, he did it.
So he goes in there and they're all throwing beer and champagne over each other because they won.
They beat the Canadians for the first time in the NFL.
It's like Formula One.
Have we ever seen Formula One with the champagne?
Anybody?
Any basketball championship, any championship, they're spraying each other like, you know, it's very kind of oddly sexual.
And they're just shaking the bottle in the wrong spot.
Yeah, it's funny.
So I found it to be disgusting.
Yeah.
But they're dumping.
So he has a beer and he dumps it in his mouth.
It's going all over the place.
He's not chugging a beer in any common way.
And this is the video.
This is the key to everything.
If he hadn't done this, they couldn't do anything.
How much?
Do you think that Psaki is a shots girl?
You think she's one of those that gets sloshed?
She looks like a jello shot girl.
Jello shot girl?
Yeah.
Looks the type.
Let's go to part two of this stupid clip.
The opening anecdote of the story was incredibly striking for a number of reasons.
I mean, because he thought he was locked out of an FBI computer system.
He grew incredibly paranoid, thought he was going to be fired.
It turned out to be a technical issue.
Talk about that level of paranoia, what that tells you, why it was important to kind of lead with that anecdote in the story.
The anecdote was just incredibly telling for a couple of reasons.
One is that it set off such a panic.
Within the FBI and within Washington, it set off a panic in Congress.
The White House was fielding calls.
I mean, there was a real lack of understanding about who was in charge at a given moment, which, as you know, as a former member of government, is an incredibly important who is in charge at a given moment.
But I also think it speaks to character and impulsivity and the ability to be in a stressful situation and think about what those next steps are.
And I think it is also emblematic of other occasions that we have seen that are very public.
In which information has been shared by the FBI director, which was not yet, that went beyond what the investigation was ready to make public at this point.
Like what?
And that later had to be walked back.
And in multiple cases that we have seen, all very publicly reported, the fact that this has impacted the investigation, this has impacted their ability to pursue people that were, you know, potentially mass shooters or other things of that nature.
What?
Because he's drinking a beer, he can't pursue people who are mass shooters.
Is that his job?
That's his job.
Yes, that's all he does.
This is a mistake.
Atlantic made a mistake here.
And, you know, they're going to pay for it if all goes well.
Now, two more clips.
One of them is, let's see, Patel defends.
I got an ABC clip, and then I have another one.
The Kash Patel sues NBC.
Let's play the ABC clip.
Tonight, FBI Director Kash Patel in front of the cameras lashing out at allegations of excessive drinking and concerns about his job performance.
I've never been intoxicated on the job.
And that is why we filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit.
And any one of you that wants to participate, bring it on.
I'll see you in court.
Patel is suing The Atlantic for $250 million alleging defamation after it published a story claiming members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated.
The article also claimed a request for breaching equipment normally used by SWAT and hostage rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch tonight said he had not read the article but disputed the reporting.
The Atlantic is standing by its story tonight, David, and calling Kash Patel's defamation lawsuit meritless.
Isn't this the same playbook they did on Hegsef?
He's a drunk.
Yeah, he's a drunk.
The drunk thing is very, which is ironic since Trump is the president.
No drinking.
So that report seemed like a kind of a cookie cutter.
Well, listen to NBC do the same report.
Tonight, a battle over reputation and reporting.
You want to attack my character?
Come at me.
Bring it on.
I'll see you in court.
Today, FBI Director Kash Patel filed a defamation suit seeking a staggering $250 million against the Atlantic Monthly Group.
After its April 17th story, citing anonymous sources, reported that bouts of excessive drinking and erratic behavior have put his job on the line.
NBC News has not independently verified that reporting.
The story claims on multiple.
Occasions, the director's security detail had difficulty waking Patel and stated that a request was made late last year for breaching equipment to gain entry.
Breaching equipment.
This lawsuit calls that claim pure fantasy and states that breaching equipment is provided to all FBI protection details.
Patel had faced criticism for this moment when he partied with U.S. men's hockey winning Olympic gold.
He responded that he was extremely humble to celebrate with the boys.
The director's lawsuit alleges the Atlantic story contains false and obviously fabricated allegations and ignored the FBI's response before it was published.
While the Atlantic says we stand by our reporting on Kash Patel.
Now, is it a slander lawsuit?
Do we know?
Well, print, one, there's two ways of defamation.
There's two kinds of defamation.
There's one slander and one is libel.
One is in print and one is verbal.
Kash Patel Justice Department Fallout00:15:58
Right.
So it's the one that's in print.
And I hate to say this, but I do get these mixed up a lot.
So I think it's libel if it's in print.
You need a lawsuit.
Let's look it up.
Look it up.
You got the robot.
Well, hold on a second.
What is the question I'm asking here?
Hold on a second.
What's the difference between slander and libel?
Book of Knowledge.
What is the difference between slander and libel?
According to the Book of Knowledge, slander is spoken defamation that damages reputation through false statements, while libel is written or published defamation in permanent form.
Thus, it has been written.
Okay, so, easy way to remember slander is speech.
Ah, S for speech.
S for speech.
That's good.
The Book of Knowledge comes through.
Now, What I see here is this is not just about dismantling the decades old system of the SPLC and the media.
And I would just have, I don't even know it's the Democrats.
I think it's Uniparty.
Whoever they need to take down, they'll take down.
As Kash Patel shows up, this is my favorite show.
I always record Sunday morning, Sunday mornings with the money, honey.
Maria Bartiromo.
Kash Patel pops up with this little message.
Look, I've been with the president nearly since day one on this.
As I told you earlier, I was the one that led the effort with folks like Trey Gowdy, Johnny Ratcliffe, and Devin Nunes to expose the corruption that tried to thwart President Trump's first presidential election run.
And we saw the FISA abuses there.
And I lived through it, and the media came at me then, too.
That just shows you that when you're over the target, you keep pummeling the target because the media is going to try and pummel you.
We are not going to take this and have not taken this laying down.
We did already indict former Director Comey, and that's going through the judicial process.
But we also at this FBI, Even though we uncovered what we uncovered back in the House Intel days, I had to come in here and find rooms that they hid from the world.
I had to come in here and find access on our computer systems in restricted and prohibited case files that they purposely put in places for no one to see and find.
We have found all this information.
We are working with their Department of Justice partners.
And I am never going to let this go because they not only have personally attacked the presidency of the United States and President Trump, but they tried to thwart our elections and rig the entire system.
And that is not something that is going to stop them.
That is not something I'm going to allow.
On my watch, but you just have to remember they built this disease temple over 20 and 30 years.
We've got all the evidence.
I can announce on your show that we've got all the information we need.
We're working with our prosecutors at the Department of Justice and their Attorney General Todd Blanch, and we are going to be making arrests.
And it's coming, and I promise you, it's coming soon.
Did he say disease temple or diseased temple?
I like, no, I like diseased temple.
It's a show title.
With a D or no D?
What do you mean?
D. Disease.
Disease with a D at the end?
I thought he said disease.
No, no, I don't think it is.
I like the.
I don't like it with the.
Sure.
Disease.
Just disease temple.
I've written it down.
Disease temple.
And so, of course, popping up on MSNBC, there's our boy, John Brennan.
Oh, boy.
Oh, there he is.
One question that's off topic, but it has to do with you.
James Comey, subpoenaed according to MSNBC.
Now reporting as part of a grand conspiracy.
You notice how they have to say MS now, MS now, they have to think about it still.
You know, it's like call it.
Of course they do.
You would too.
Station call letter change.
James Comey.
It's like, you know, when you remarry, you don't ever want to call your wife by her or by your old wife.
Not a good idea.
Never done that one.
Subpoenaed according to MS now reporting as part of a grand conspiracy that's being investigated against Donald Trump.
There is talk that you might be also involved in this.
Yeah.
What have you heard?
Have you been?
What are you learning?
What do you make of this?
What are you learning?
I think you mean against Jim Comey, because Jim Comey, myself, and others have received subpoenas from the Department of Justice about some grand conspiracy or the work that we did while we were in government.
And we're going back basically 10 years or so.
That sounds so much like we were just following orders while we were in government.
Just following orders, sir.
Or the work that we did while.
We were in government and we're going back basically 10 years or so.
So, David can speak to the retribution campaign that Donald Trump has been on.
And, but this is an effort to try to harass and to try to ruin people professionally, personally, financially, and so on.
And so, it's very, very sad that our government, our Department of Justice, is engaged in these types of activities.
But again, I'm going to do what I need to do in order to ensure that I am following the law and continuing to.
Say that I feel as though everything I did while I was director of the CIA was certainly consistent with my authorities and lawful and appropriate.
I would have been derelict, or my colleagues at that time would have been derelict if we didn't expose Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Yeah, you know, I think this is the time to play the old Brennan clip.
Oh, yes.
It puts him right in this old Brennan clip.
This applies to him now.
Yes, here it is.
People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity.
That's sham.
Until they're alleged to be in some kind of criminal activity.
Thank you.
Good callback.
I forgot about that one.
And he's very dismayed.
Now he's popping up all over the place.
Another MS now.
Now he's very demure.
He's not happy.
It just shows that over the past 10 years, there's been failure after failure to try to identify something that wrongdoing in this case.
But part of this is to harass.
To try to hurt individuals reputationally, professionally, financially.
Same word.
To keep the story alive as a way to deflect from other issues and challenges that they face.
So, again, I'm not surprised by this.
I'm very dismayed and disappointed by it.
I'm also very troubled that we have people in government who seem to be so mean spirited that they try to actually hurt individuals, hurt people, their families, and others.
Dude, that's what government does.
That's the default.
What about Roger Stone?
What's he talking about?
You know, and they claim to be part of the Republican Party.
This is not the Republican Party that I work with or that you worked with.
You know, they're people of integrity who never would have thought the Department of Justice would have fallen as far as it has.
Fallen.
Again, every day when I wake up, you know, there's something new that I just find just being so surreal and separated from the government and the reality that I worked in for 33 plus years.
Oh.
But again, you know, I take every day as it comes.
Okay.
So, I've got two more shorties here.
33 to magic number.
I know.
It's in there.
So, you know, Trump is only doing this just to distract from his horrible, dumb mistakes.
It's clear that there's this toxic mix of traits that Donald Trump has, which is he's a pathological liar.
Yeah.
He is incompetent on so many fronts.
Yeah.
And he's also deeply corrupt, which I think is now being manifest, manifesting itself in terms of the Gulf War.
That's why you have these wholly incoherent, wholly inconsistent, Flailing about because, first of all, again, there was no real rationale for this war.
Secondly, he's trying to figure out what his next move is and he doesn't understand exactly how he's going to get himself out of this mess.
So he's coming after me because he doesn't know how to get out of this mess.
Okay.
And now, what's he worried about?
Brennan?
Yeah, what's he worried about if this is all true?
Brennan's going to the guillotine.
Bring that back.
That was good.
We can only hope.
One more clip.
Well, Trump said something this morning that was very telling.
When they asked him about the Brits and Keir Starmer, Prime Minister Starmer, why he has not joined this effort.
And Starmer told Trump, I need to speak with my advisor.
Hold on a second.
He has.
Oh, maybe he's talking about the Iran war.
Yeah, Storm has not joined this effort.
Why he has not joined this effort.
Okay.
And Stormer told Trump, I need to speak with my advisors.
And Trump said, Why do you have to speak with your advisors?
It just demonstrates that these are all things that he does on his own.
And he's not taking the advice and input of others, even though they all seem to be the sycophants here.
But Kier Starmer and others are listening to their intelligence professionals, listening to their military experts, listening to their foreign policy advisors and others to see the right way forward.
But Donald Trump acts on his gut.
On his feelings, which is not the way to prosecute any war, especially one that is so needless as this.
And this is kind of an unfortunate example that former CIA Director Brennan brings up because this is exactly the topic of what is happening in the UK.
And I finally put together a couple of clips because it's so entertaining.
Starmer listening to his advisors.
Let's recap, shall we?
Let's just recap.
Peter Mandelson has been on the rack or had been on the rack twice, twice sacked.
From the cabinet, the Labour cabinet, Blair's cabinet.
First time, Blair.
Second time, I believe, Gordon Brown.
First time for taking a big mortgage loan from interest free, I do believe, from Geoffrey Robertson, the Labour Party's in house multimillionaire.
He bought a house in Notting Hill, didn't tell anyone, and then had to declare it.
He had to be sacked.
It was the scandal, hilariously called Notting Hill Gate Gate.
He then went on to be restored to the cabinet and then had to be fired for trying to get the very rich billionaire Indian Hinduja brothers, tycoons there in India, British passports under the counter.
He had to be sacked for that.
And then we had, of course, the Epstein affair.
So, all through that.
Then, Starmer admits in the House, when asked by Badenoch, did you know?
That Peter Mandelson had continued a friendship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein while he was in jail and had stayed at his apartment in Manhattan while he was in jail for child sex offences.
Did you know that, Prime Minister?
Yes, I did.
So he knew that.
He said that in the House of Commons.
He knew about this guy's background, but from what we're hearing, he didn't feel it was worth asking the security services whether or not this man had passed the vetting process.
That is either a lie or it is the height of incompetence.
Unbelievable negligence of duty.
But he always checks with his advisors, does he?
Yeah, yeah.
Brennan, so this is Esther Cracker.
Brennan's full of it, huh?
What?
This is a great story.
It just gets so deep.
And it's the connections between what they were clearly this Mandelson, I think it might be in this clip or in the next one.
They wanted Mandelson close to Trump as soon as possible because they knew that Mandelson, well, they call him the Prince of Darkness.
And so they wanted their guy close to Trump as the ambassador in the United States to the UK.
And Esther Krakow, who's an international affairs commentator, Has some background on that.
So today during Prime Minister's Question Times, Keir Starmer was forced to admit that he actually did know about Peter Mandelson's association with Jeffrey Epstein in a security briefing.
So he was asked point blank in the dispatch box whether he actually knew during the vetting process, which Keir Starmer actually even celebrated Peter Mandelson coming on board before the vetting was complete.
So he'd already made his mind up that this man was going to be the US ambassador.
And then in sort of an embarrassing U turn, he now had to reveal that he did know, but that.
Peter Mandelson misled him and his team on the extent of the relationship, which again is quite baffling because this was easily Googleable information.
I mean, if a conservative researcher who's about 20 years old can find this on the internet, then the Labour veteran team should have been able to.
But it's more about why he even brought him back in the first place.
Peter Mandelson had to resign twice in disgrace from government back in 1998 and 2001, one of which was because he basically peddled his influence to get an Indian billionaire a British passport.
So, this is not someone who had a clean track record to begin with.
But it's clear that Labour is so bereft of talent that they had to bring someone whose nickname is, I kid you not, the Prince of Darkness into the Labour sort of high office to try and get anything done.
Unfortunately, even during Peter Mandelson's brief stint as US ambassador, no one knew his name because basically Nigel Farage was our de facto ambassador and he actually peddled more influence with the Americans than Peter Mandelson did.
But his association with Jeffrey Epstein has proven to be extremely ugly.
He called, you know, Jeffrey Epstein being released from prison Liberation Day.
The email exchanges between the two suggest that, you know, Peter Mandelson was happy to use his influence to try and influence bankers' bonuses during the financial crisis, the sale of a bank, and details about a European bailout, bank bailout.
This is at a time where, you know, the government were really scrambling to try and reassure people.
People were losing their jobs left, right, and center, their homes.
And you had basically what was effectively the deputy prime minister at the time using his influence to get a pedophile financier and his friends whatever scraps they could.
This is what happens when you resurrect the carcasses of a man like Peter Mandelson's political career.
And unfortunately, Kirsama is really going to try hard to ride this wave, but I don't think he'll be successful.
And then finally, this Ollie Robbins character who was a former senior civil servant, I think he quit or he was sacked, I'm not sure, testifying before the parliamentary committee, which is the nail in the coffin for Starmer and for what I think was a clear gambit to get close to Trump, maybe use some Epstein sap, who knows.
And I think the president, that's when he said, you know, we should probably release all this Epstein stuff.
Let's get it all out there.
I'll ask you this.
So let's move on.
I think throughout January, honestly, my office, the Foreign Secretary's office, were under constant pressure.
There was an atmosphere of constant chasing.
When will this.
Daily phone calls?
I couldn't say for certain daily, but I mean, certainly very frequent from private office to private office.
Has this been delivered yet?
Never any interest, as far as I recall, in weather.
But only an interest in when.
When you say private office to private office, you're saying private office of number 10?
Yes, I am.
I'm afraid I walked into a situation in which there was already a very, very strong expectation, and you will have seen the papers released already under the humble address that coming from number 10, he needed to be in post and in America as quickly as humanly possible.
The very first formal communication of this to my predecessor from number 10 private office.
Mandelson Trump Meeting Blunderbuss00:03:39
Being that they wanted all this done at pace and Mandelson in post before inauguration.
So I'm afraid what that translated into for my team in the Foreign Office and certainly the handover briefing I was getting as I arrived at post was what I felt was a generally dismissive attitude to his vetting clearance.
The focus was on getting Mandelson out to Washington quickly.
Despite this atmosphere, an atmosphere of pressure, the department completed developed vetting.
To the normal high standard.
Because the vetting process is not there to determine fitness for office or reputational risk.
It's there to protect national security.
Yeah.
So there you go.
So, wait.
So, your analysis has it that Mandelson was put over here on purpose to do something to Trump.
Yeah.
Because he had all the.
And then Trump got figured, added two and two, or his team did.
And then they rolled out all the Epstein stuff and got that guy out of here.
Mandelson was the first one to go, if you recall.
Yeah.
He was the first one.
And I'm sure that they staggered the files that way.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's make sure this gets out first.
And that.
Yeah, let's put this here on page one.
Let's make sure that you can copy paste and the redactions are taken out.
Yeah, because it's a huge humiliation for the Starmer regime.
Starmer's on the ropes.
He should be.
Yeah.
But, you know, we still have to try something here at home.
We already had the New York Times article.
With the situation room, sources say Bibi Netanyahu sat at the head of the table.
He had the buttons there.
He was pushing everything.
Bibi was running the meeting.
Trump was serving him drinks, and Bibi was doing all this.
And now we have a new one.
This is one of those former CIA analysts, one of my favorites.
They always show up on Sean Ryan's show.
Larry Johnson.
Here we go.
Larry Johnson.
Okay.
Let's stop here so we can preface this.
Larry Johnson.
Is some sort still working for somebody?
Larry Johnson is the worst of the worst.
Yes, he's the worst of the worst.
Everything is an anti Trump.
It's all you know, the walls are closing in.
He's still back on that theme from like 2017, the walls are closing in type of guy.
He is full of it.
Larry Johnson is the absolute worst.
And this is part of the 25th Amendment ploy, I'm quite convinced.
And then there was a report out that they had an emergency meeting Saturday night.
And apparently, well, one report coming out of that meeting at the White House is that Trump wanted to use the nuclear, so called use the nuclear code.
And General Dan Kane stood up and said no.
He invoked his privilege as the head of the military, so to speak.
It was apparently quite a blow up.
There are pictures of Kane coming out of that meeting with his head down to the ground.
You know, there's some very, very bizarre things going on that you see.
I'm pretty sure in every movie I've seen, and we could check with the book of knowledge when the president says it's time for the nuke codes, the generals don't get to overrule that.
No.
No, they don't.
So they're desperate here.
So this is a bullcrap story.
Yes.
You think?
Which is what you expect.
Yeah.
And these guys are really hard up for.
Fed Inflation Warsh Sock Crisis00:15:17
I don't understand why they can't focus better.
Well, you know, the system is being.
This is scattergun.
Yeah, there it is.
Blunderbuss.
Is that a term?
Blunderbuss?
Yeah, blunderbuss is a type of weapon with a big.
Yeah, with nails.
You put nails in it, don't you?
Blunderbuss.
Yeah, put nails in it.
Blunderbuss.
Yeah.
All right.
I got some other stuff, but I'm open to your suggestions.
Well, we do.
I got these two clips from the Kevin Warsh.
Oh, yeah.
I watched.
Confirmation here.
This is kind of an aside, and then we can talk about.
I got a number of ways to go after that, but let's get these out of the way.
All right, the president's choice to lead the Federal Reserve says he would like the agency to do a little less.
Kevin Warsh testified before a Senate committee Tuesday.
He said the Fed could do a better job of curbing inflation and unemployment if it was more narrowly focused.
One big question is who decides what the Fed does?
Warsh was nominated by a president who wants greater control over an independent agency.
NPR Scott Horsley remains independent and joins us now.
Agency.
Agency.
Says who?
Yeah, what kind of agency are we talking about?
Not a government agency.
The Federal Reserve is not a government agency.
Good morning, Senator.
Good morning.
Oh, Scott.
Good morning.
What was the hearing like?
It was quite polarized.
Committee Republicans mostly backed the nominee.
Democrats were uniformly opposed.
One question that came up again and again was whether Warsh would take marching orders from the president, who's been demanding lower interest rates.
Here's GOP Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana.
Are you going to be the president's human sock puppet?
Senator, absolutely not.
Are you going to be anybody's human sock puppet?
No, I'm honored the president nominated me for the position, and I'll be an independent actor if confirmed as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Moore says it's not unusual that Trump wants lower interest rates.
He says most presidents do.
And Moore says just because Trump is more outspoken than most other presidents, that's not a threat to the Fed's independence.
Hold on a second.
What outfit is reporting this?
The NPR.
All right.
So they forgot to give you the bit before that that Senator.
Which you have, luckily.
Of course I do.
Here is Pocahontas.
I try to end the independence of the Fed because Trump's economic failures.
Are causing him political problems, and he wants the Fed to use monetary policies to artificially juice the economy in the short term, and this is his last chance to do that before the November elections.
Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself, his family, and his Wall Street buddies.
It could mean granting special accounts to his family's crypto company.
Or bailouts to his friends on Wall Street if they get into trouble.
In other words, a Fed under Donald Trump's control creates more opportunities for Trump's corruption.
It's interesting they didn't put that bit in.
She was the impetus for the question.
It might be in one of the other clips, but yeah, she's the one who brought up sock puppets.
And they also didn't play it right.
They didn't play, in fact, hold on.
It's short, but this is the full Kennedy quote, which was better.
If I was working at NPR, I would have chosen this one.
Professor, what's the sock puppet?
I heard the reference from Senator Warren.
Yeah, what is it?
I'm not sure I know.
I think it's a time you stick your hand in.
Yeah.
Kind of like this.
Yes.
What's a human sock puppet?
Isn't a human sock puppet somebody who'll do what somebody else tells them to do?
I think that's what the senator was trying to suggest.
Are you going to be the president's human sock puppet?
So, what he does, you know, he shows his hand up the puppet's butt.
You know, that's the clip.
NPR.
Weak.
It's weak.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
It is weak.
I'm surprised it did war.
Well, let's play clip two.
Although we should mention, Trump did more than speak.
He's done a lot of things to try to get more control over the Fed.
So, are Democrats persuaded that this nominee would be independent?
Well, that was exactly the point that Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren made.
She says Trump hasn't just expressed an opinion, he's gone to great lengths to bend the central bank to his will.
The president has repeatedly and illegally attempted to take over the Fed.
Illegally.
His bogus attacks on Governor Lisa Cook and Chair Powell were designed to threaten all the members of the Fed.
Now, so far, those efforts by the president have been blocked in the courts, but Trump's pressure campaign has raised alarms.
The Fed is supposed to be insulated from that kind of pressure so that it can do what's best in the long run for the economy, not just what's good until the next election.
Aside from his independence, this is a chance to find out what it is that Warsh would want to do with this agency.
How, if at all, does he want to change it?
Yeah, he thinks there is room for lower interest rates, but also a lower profile for the Fed.
He suggests that policyholders at the central bank might hold.
Fewer news conferences and give fewer speeches.
And he wants to improve the data that they use to measure things like inflation.
And he wants the Fed to scale back its investment in government debt.
Oh, man.
I hope there's more in this third clip because I watched a different hearing than NPR did, I guess.
It's the same hearing.
It's just NPR has their perspective.
By the way, I should mention that having less press conferences would be a good thing.
The problem they have now is that when the chairman goes and does his press conference, the stock market is all paying attention for code words, and then it makes the market unstable.
Less press conferences would dramatically lower Andrew Horowitz's blood pressure.
It would, for sure.
He's always like, and the market has this price in, and we're expecting.
This and nothing will happen, and they think it's going to say this.
And what does this phrase mean exactly?
Yeah.
No, I'm down with that.
All right, play this last clip and then you can follow up with the real clips.
What is Warsh saying about his own personal investments?
Not a whole lot.
He is worth more than $100 million.
That doesn't count his wife, who's heir to the Estee Lauder fortune.
But Warsh's financial disclosure form is pretty opaque about how and where that money is invested.
Senator Warren grilled Warsh about whether he has financial ties to the Trump.
Family or to China or even to Jeffrey Epstein.
Senator, I have worked tirelessly with the ethics officials at the Office of Government.
Yes, and you have not come to an ethics agreement with the Fed.
And have agreed, Senator, to sell all of that financial assets.
That's not an issue.
Bush ducked that question with a promise to sell those undisclosed assets before he starts work at the Fed.
How soon would he start work?
Well, possibly as early as next month, but there's a big hurdle to clear first.
Republican Tom Tillis insists he will not allow a vote on this nomination until the Justice Department drops that investigation of the Federal Reserve.
Which critics, including Tillis, say is just another way for the administration to put pressure on the Fed.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Well, Elizabeth Warren got her ISOs.
That's what it's all about in these hearings.
Yeah, she's good.
So there were two questions which I thought were reasonable.
Let me see.
This first one, let me see.
I don't know who was asking this.
The question is about policy.
Prices went up to the tune of 25 to 35% for virtually all deciles of the American people.
That's an indication that the Fed missed its mark.
And we are still dealing with the legacy of the policy errors in 2021 and 2022.
Once you let inflation take hold in the economy, it's more expensive and harder to bring it down.
And so the fatal policy error going back four or five years is still a legacy that we're dealing with.
We need, in my judgment, fundamental policy reforms to fix it.
And while it's true that inflation is less problematic, meaning the rate of change in prices is less severe than it was some years ago, hardworking Americans are no doubt feeling it.
I think that means a regime change in the conduct of policy.
I think that means a different new inflation framework.
There's your headline regime change.
Yes, regime change.
That would be a very good idea.
And what exactly is inflation?
Finally, someone who just says what it is.
Does federal government spending have anything to do with inflation, Mr. Warsh?
Senator, as we talked about in your office, my view of inflation is a bit different from some.
I don't think inflation comes about when the economy grows too much or hardworking Americans get an increase in their wages.
I think inflation comes about when the government prints too much, by which I mean the central bank.
And broadly speaking, the government spends too much.
And so we're spending too much money, and now we've been cleaning up their mess ever since.
Yes.
Yes.
That would be correct.
Milton Friedman had that.
I wish I had.
I think there is a clip in there.
Milton Friedman had a little inflation clip about during, I guess it was during the Civil War, there was somebody, one state or somebody was just printing, printing, printing money, and they had endless inflation.
And once they stopped printing money, yeah, guess what?
It stopped.
Inflation stopped dead.
Amazing how that works.
Last clip.
The reason why I prefer monetary policy to use interest rates as the dominant force is interest rates affect a far broader cross section of the economy.
Interest rates get in the cracks.
If we were to cut rates, then a broader number of people will benefit from it versus quantitative easing, which tends to move through financial assets first.
Half of our fellow Americans don't own any financial assets, so they're wondering what's in it.
For them.
Yes, lower interest rates.
Exactly.
I'm all for that.
Lower mortgage, lower car payments.
It's a good idea.
They're going to fight him, I guess.
Elizabeth Warren, she represents the entire banking industry.
She's no good.
So, the gay General Patton was also testifying.
Did you get any of that?
No, I got none of that.
Oh, okay.
So, Scott Besant, he's a funny guy, but he is in the fight with Operation Economic Fury.
Yeah.
And no one likes what Besant is doing.
He's helping Putin.
We're about seven weeks into the war with Iran.
And I wondered, Mr. Secretary, given that your department enforces sanctions, if you have a sense just how much Iran has gained through sanctions relief since the war began.
I'll tell you, estimates are $14 billion.
Now, President Trump's described the Obama Iran deal as a disaster and a scandal because of the money Iran got, which was about $1.7 billion.
I don't know how you describe $14 billion.
But you don't have to read The Art of War to know that helping your adversaries gain money while you're at war is a terrible idea.
And it's shocking to me that the countries currently profiting from the release of sanctions are our enemies.
No country has profited more from this war than Russia.
Oil and gas prices are up nearly 50% since February.
And it'd be bad enough if Russia were just profiting from higher global oil prices.
But your Treasury Department lifted sanctions on Russian oil, giving them an extra $150 million.
A day in revenue.
And those funds are going not just to kill Ukrainians, but Russia's using its profits to support Iran with drones and intelligence to kill our troops.
So, what do you mean?
Well, wait.
When are Russians giving them drones?
This is the king of the drone makers, Iran.
They're the drone gurus.
And they're the ones who supplied Russia with their drones.
And so now Russia's giving them what they just send the ones they sent back.
So, the distinguished gentleman from Delaware, Senator Chris Coons, Democrat, thinks he can fight gay General Patton, who does not come with a bazooka.
He comes with his calculator.
Agree that Iran has received significant additional revenue from their sales of oil because of sanctions relief.
I couldn't disagree more.
Okay.
Do you disagree that Russia has received significant additional revenue from the sanctions relief?
I couldn't disagree more.
Okay.
Why did you relieve the sanctions against?
Russian and Iranian oil?
Think of it this way, sir.
There's the Strait of Hormuz.
Familiar with it?
There is oil to the left and to the right.
There is to the right.
The Treasury was able to, just as you are concerned about gasoline prices for the American consumer and for our Asian allies, as are we, Treasury was able to create more than 250 million barrels on the water.
And the way to think about this is as they came in today, the oil prices are at $100.
If we had not done that sanctions relief, they might have been at 150 because the world became very well supplied.
So, if Russia was selling their oil at a 20% discount, I can tell you that 100% of 100 is less than 80% of 150.
And the American consumer has been better off.
Take that, Senator.
You can't do math.
Well, if the folks in Delaware are buying $4 a gallon gas today, I don't see that we've seen a significant reduction in the price of the pump or the price on the world markets.
But I have two more questions I want to get to.
And I look forward to disputing with you the details.
I believe that Russia and Iran have benefited from the release of sanctions.
And when you said we're not going to extend sanctions relief and then we're reversed, I was deeply disheartened because we shouldn't be funding Putin's war machine.
I would like to take that as a result.
Last week was Bank Week, World Bank, and IMF Week.
John, we missed Bank Week?
Yeah, we missed Bank Week.
Hey, everybody, it's Bank Week.
And on Wednesday, it was my belief we would not do it.
I was approached.
By more than 10 of the most vulnerable and poorest countries in terms of energy.
And they ask us to extend that sanction.
And it's only for 30 days.
30 days, $4.5 billion to Putin's war machine.
UAE Dollar Swap Line Requests00:03:42
Yes.
You're a Putin lover.
You're all in with Putin.
This last clip was, I think, to me, the most interesting because this is where the US dollar comes into play as it diminishes constantly as the reserve asset currency, reserve currency of the globe.
But gay General Patton has been requested to do things, and he is doing them, and it will save our bacon.
Government of the UAE.
As I'm sure you probably know, President Trump and his family have done a very brisk business with the UAE over the last few years.
There was the $500 million.
Hold on a second, is this the right one?
We understand that the UAE, a billion dollars that Sheikh Tao Noon, the UAE's national security advisor and brother of the President, invested in World Liberty Financial, which is the Trump family crypto venture, right before the President's inauguration.
There was the $2 billion in World Liberty stablecoin, which Panoon used to invest in Binance, a deal that effectively handed World Liberty $2 billion in cash at the same time that the United States government relaxed our export controls on high end AI and ships to UAE companies.
And now I understand that the UAE is looking for.
A swap line.
Swap line.
The war in Iran has already cost us dearly.
In my view, it's been a huge mistake, made us less safe and a lot worse off.
In addition to lives lost, we're talking about over a billion dollars a day in taxpayer money.
We're talking about higher gas prices.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Higher prices overall.
And now we understand that the UAE is asking.
You to provide them a swap line.
So, just so people understand, this is not like money we're going to give them a swap line as we get their rials, which are pegged to the dollar, so it's exactly the same thing.
It's just giving them U.S. dollars to, well, Scott Besson will explain.
Through the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Mr. Secretary, can you talk about this request and whether or not you expect to support it?
Senator, I would just I don't dispute much of what you earlier said and any linkages to this swap line.
Many of our Gulf allies have requested swap lines.
You would have just read about the UAE, and swap lines, whether it's from the Federal Reserve or the Treasury, are to maintain order in the dollar funding markets and to prevent the sale of the U.S. assets.
Assets?
In a.
What?
What?
Disorderly way.
So the swap line would both benefit the UAE and the U.S.
And as I said, numerous other countries, including some of our Asian allies, have also requested them.
Yes.
All oil in U.S. dollars.
Exactly.
That's exactly the right thing to do.
These senators, they do not know anything.
No, they don't.
They really don't.
Well, what are you doing?
That's Trump.
It's making Trump rich.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
We can talk about Iran.
Flu Shot Dementia Risk Batches00:08:30
I got these Vax clips I wanted to get out of the way.
Vax clips?
Oh, okay.
What do you mean?
We need to talk about the Vax for a while.
We haven't.
What's he got in Vaxland?
Well, I got the.
I actually have one I want to play from the last show.
I didn't move it over.
But let's start with this.
This is the.
Let's start with the Ron Johnson going after the Vaxers.
Finally, let's just put up this graph.
Because of your radical transparency, I've got close to 11 million pages.
We uncovered that they hid the signal on myocarditis.
We also just recently uncovered that they also hid a signal on ischemic stroke for people over 65 by the tail end of 2022, 2023.
They hid both signals, they downplayed them.
But what is most alarming, and we'll be holding a hearing on this next week, I've got a draft report.
They were made aware, Peter Marks was made aware on March 26th, 2021.
That the inventors of the algorithm that analyzes the Veyers data was going to mask adverse events.
He was told that by using a different system, they had uncovered 49 examples of extreme masking, 25 significant adverse events, including sudden cardiac death, Bell's palsy, pulmonary infarction.
So this report will be issued in conjunction with that hearing.
Again, I didn't need a sophisticated Mathematical models tell me that we had safety signals screaming at us.
This chart shows the deaths associated with the vaccines all the way going back to 1990 when they started, a couple hundred a year.
Anaphylactic shock, that type of thing.
2021, over 20,000 deaths, and for five years, FDA has been saying, we don't see a signal.
This was a signal screaming at us that to this very day, we are covering up.
There are a bunch of people involved in this cover up that still continue to work within the HHS, CDC, FDA.
I want your commitment that those people be made available for interviews.
I'll have to subpoena others.
I'm going to dig into this massive cover up.
You have my commitment.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Nothing will come of it, but there it is.
Now you have to look this one up.
This is called Vax Study Batches.
Okay.
Two shows ago.
Vax Study Batches.
Um, hmm.
Vax batches, maybe?
That's odd, John.
I don't see it.
Oh, spell study with two T's.
Oh.
No.
Vax.
Is it Vax with one X?
V A X, all caps.
Okay.
V A X, space, space, yes?
Yeah.
S T.
I don't have it.
S T T U D Y.
No, I don't have this clip.
I can.
Ah, you have to.
From how long ago is it?
Two shows ago.
Well, let me go look in that bin.
Hold on a second.
It'll take me but a second.
So, from 1860?
Yeah, from 419.
I have Vax and Food.
And Vax Study Bachelor should be right under it.
No, it's not in there.
Well, they got moved up one, maybe, but I didn't see it anyplace else.
It'd be on the next show then.
Okay, hold on.
That would be 1861, the last one.
Didn't I see there we have?
Oh, interesting.
Yep, I have it.
Okay, we got it.
We now have peer reviewed published data by Schmelling and colleagues from Denmark, basically a bombshell study.
They found that 4.2% of the batches of the doses that were dosed out of that batch accounted for skyrocketing serious adverse events, hospitalization, and death.
That was 4.2%.
In a sense, really bad batches.
There was about two thirds of batches that were moderate.
Pretty low risk, moderate.
And then interestingly, a third, zero.
There was basically that line didn't come up.
They took a shot and nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Yeah.
While we had reports.
Which brings me to the point I've been wanting to make, which is liability.
This brings us back to the good old days with the swine flu vaccine that one of these companies released, if you recall.
That was just swine flu.
You get a shot, you get swine flu.
It killed people.
Yeah, killed people.
But there's no.
They've got.
Why can't they talk about liability more?
Even McCullough, who was there, he's the one giving that yakety yak.
He doesn't mention it.
It needs to be mentioned all the time.
You can't bring a product out and sell it to the public without liability.
You can't be, you know, indemnified by the government for bringing out crap.
Okay, I'm done with that.
Well, you know.
RFK Jr. has promised he's going to take care of all that.
Yeah, he hasn't done anything.
Well, the only thing he did, just before you get to your next vax clip, you know, they did sign that executive order about disclosing all of the side effects of, I'll see if I can find it now, in your advertising.
Yeah.
Oh, that'll do it.
By your thing, by the way, by your theory, that would just draw people to the vax.
That's your cigarette theory.
Yeah.
That theory.
Yeah, you're right.
So it's either ban or nothing.
You're right.
Whenever you say it's going to kill you, people want it.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
It's like Ozempic.
I'm a tough guy.
Ozempic.
Ozempic, literally.
You don't want to have sex.
You get eye cancer.
Your liver goes to crap.
Your pancreas fails.
Want to look good?
You're looking good.
You're looking good.
Now, this last one is just kind of an aside, but I think it's pretty funny.
This is that you've seen this character.
He's McCullough's right hand man.
He's this kind of dull guy who talks with him.
He's just a dull guy.
And he's talking about this is the flu shot causes dementia.
The largest single study ever conducted on vaccines and dementia, with over 13 million people in it, found that vaccinated adults who got flu shots and pneumococcal shots.
They faced a 50% increased risk of Alzheimer's and a 38% increased risk of dementia.
And the risk increased the more doses they got.
So they started to get more flu shots that they lined up every year to get it.
Unfortunately, they faced the highest risks of neurodegenerative conditions.
And the risk persisted for over 10 years.
And so it appears, you know, once you receive so many of these shots, it is inducing.
Neuroinflammatory injury, dementia, and Alzheimer's in vaccinated adults.
So, not only now do we know that the flu shot doesn't work, according to Stressla and colleagues out of the Cleveland Clinic, flu shots increase your risk of flu by 27%.
So, not only do they do that, but now it appears that they increase your risk of dementia, which is absolutely terrible.
Holy mackerel.
You didn't hear that one?
No.
Oh, yeah.
And we have a dementia epidemic in our country.
Yeah.
And in Europe, I know lots of people who have parents who have early onset dementia.
Wow.
You probably have a lot of your friends who have just gone cuckoo.
Well, losing their minds.
Buckley Attack Islam Betrayal Promises00:15:52
It's getting there.
I mean, it depends.
I don't know personally that many people that line up for the flu shot every year anymore.
But if you have a precondition of being a Democrat, yeah, well, that's for sure.
It could make it worse.
Wow.
Oh, that's, oh, man.
And that's again, liability, flu shot, who knows what's in the thing.
That is, and besides the fact that you have a higher chance of getting the flu.
Yeah, well, that's the joke of it.
Oh, man.
That's almost humorous.
That is just so lame.
So, I listened to the new podcast, The Carlson Kids.
Have you heard this podcast?
No, I heard about it.
Hey, everybody, it's time for The Carlson Kids.
I had no idea Tucker's brother's name is Buckley.
Yeah, how white can you get?
Well, how Tucker and Buckley.
Here's my son, Tucker, and here's my other son, Buckley.
Let's go have a spot of something good.
I don't know if it's just white or just DC.
You know, it's like Buckley.
If you're in DC and their dad was, you know, he ran a spook.
Yeah, he was a spook.
He ran the broadcast board of governors, Voice of America, stuff like that.
Yeah, that was a good job.
Yeah, it was a great job.
We'd be very good at it if it still existed.
They fired everybody, shut it down, I guess, kind of.
Some people had to be unfired.
So I don't know.
But I think if you're in DC and you're probably thinking, oh, I just, William F. Buckley, he is just so awesome.
I think I'll.
Why don't we, honey?
Why don't we name our son Buckley?
Maybe we'll get invited to the party.
Maybe we'll get invited to the cocktail party.
So, both conservative, apparently.
And these clips are relatively short, but both are just so disappointed.
They just feel like they've been betrayed, betrayed by Trump.
Where a lot of people who really like Trump are very disappointed in Trump.
In fact, more than disappointed.
Feel betrayed or enraged, feel like shockers, feel like they've been taken for a ride.
A ride.
I could not possibly have supported that given what it became.
Taken out back and thumped a couple times.
A lot of people seem to feel that way.
But do a lot of people seem to feel that way?
Do they actually feel that way?
According to polls, I did.
Now, there's a wait.
You can't put forth a thesis that is kind of assertive and then ask the question, am I right or am I wrong?
You can do that on a podcast.
You can do anything you want on a podcast.
A lot of people seem to feel that way.
But do a lot of people seem to feel that way?
Do they actually feel that way?
According to polls on CNN, 100% of MAGA voters still support Trump.
100%?
Is that real?
So it's really hard to know given how fraudulent so much polling is.
So we thought we would speak to the one person we know who sincerely supported Trump from the very beginning.
Wrote speeches for Trump in 2015, voted for Trump three times.
New people within the Trump White House worked with the Trump White House.
Except for the writing speeches, it's the same.
He voted for Trump three times.
Bring on Nick.
He already had Nick on.
This is a new guest.
We've never had this guest on the show.
That period, 10 years, supported Trump in public, not on television, which is easy, but in his own neighborhood, which was 100% Trump haters.
That person is my brother, it turns out.
Buckley Carlson, Uncle Buck, as he's known to us.
Uncle Buck.
Buck Tuck.
You don't have brothers or sisters, but I would never call my brother Uncle anything.
I don't have a brother.
I wouldn't call him Aunt Tiffany, Aunt Willow.
No.
Anyway.
No.
So here's Buckley.
And you can imagine what the breaking point was.
What broke these men?
What was the breaking point for you?
Really, initially, it was the attack on Iran.
Why is he laughing over that?
He laughs at it.
He also has the same intonations that Tucker does in his voice.
Yeah, it's a milieu.
It was the attack.
And he also stretches words like, was the.
That's an important DC thing.
Yeah.
I'm never going to get through these.
It's 26 seconds.
No, you're not.
Not with this guy.
It was the attack on Iran initially last year when I guess we successfully eradicated all of their nuclear capabilities.
Are you aware?
Because it was still on.
I'd heard that.
It may still be on the White House website because it was on there even when we engaged in this latest war with Iran, this unnecessary, what will be probably a forever war that has killed Americans and is going to degrade us as a country significantly.
Already has.
Speculation?
Yeah, it's significantly.
It already has.
No, no, no.
It's a betrayal of the promises.
That's what it is.
Because politicians never betray anybody with their campaign promises.
President Trump has come through.
On a number of them, but this one was the breaking point.
What?
And then the war in Iran, which he clearly had no plan for, wasn't enthusiastic about at all.
He was fully aware of the risks.
He was fully aware that it was a betrayal of his explicit promises for 10 years not to do this.
He did it.
Okay.
So he didn't want to do it?
No.
He said he really didn't want to.
He wanted to negotiate and he gave him two weeks and then he struck him early.
But you're kind of leading towards something, I think, here, Tucker.
He did it against his will.
That's my.
Against his will?
Ah, okay.
Highly informed read.
Highly informed read.
Okay.
He has.
What?
Yes.
He did it against his will.
This goes back to the New York Times.
He was.
Bibi Netanyahu controls Donald Trump.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
There you go.
This is what it is.
He did it against his will.
That's my highly informed read.
Yes.
I mean, I could be wrong.
You don't know what.
Highly informed read.
What?
He goes.
It's my highly informed, which is like a cheat word.
We don't know if it's highly informed or not.
I'm reliable.
He says it is, so it must be.
You and I are reliably informed, and he is only highly informed.
I think our reliably trumps his highly.
Well, you don't know that.
I'm informed I am.
Yes.
I mean, I could be wrong.
You know, you don't know what people's motives actually are, but it could be wrong.
Could be wrong.
Weasel.
From very close vantage, I can say I don't think he was excited about it, but he did it.
Clearly, he felt he had no choice.
So, and I think that's widely understood.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
But I have no sympathy for him for doing that.
No, but this is all leading to one thing Israel.
It's still reprehensible and it's still a big question mark.
Why would someone who has obvious and demonstrated allegiance to a foreign power give Donald Trump $250 million while he's running for president?
I mean, how is that defensible?
It's really not.
If Russia.
Wait a minute.
How much money did Kamala Harris get in like three weeks?
$2 billion?
$1.5 billion.
Okay.
Billion.
Had given a pack for Trump, you know, if.
The mayor of Moscow had somehow, you know, assembled an enormous amount of money and put it in a 501c3 for Trump's benefit.
Would that have been acceptable?
Of course, it wouldn't have been.
Now, where were you when it came down to Hunter Biden getting the money from the mayor of Moscow?
What kind of analogy is this?
So, what does someone, it's so basic, comes back to the money.
Like, what did they get in return for that amount of investment?
And it's so the accusation here, I think, is because he got $250 million from a Jew.
Miriam Adelson, yeah, that is the reason why he went to war in Iran for 250 million.
He got more money from Musk for 250 million dollars into a pack.
Okay, so what does someone it's so basic?
Just make me president, Miriam, and I'll hit Iran for you.
I got other things to do, but I'll hit Iran.
I promise you.
It's back to the money like, what did they get in return for that amount of investment?
And it's clear, I get it.
No, I mean, of course, I agree with every word that you're saying.
I just think you should say that.
Given his John, could you say that more often to me?
I agree with every word you say.
You have to say, of course, I agree with every 100%.
Of course, I agree with every word you say.
I agree with everything you're saying.
100%.
I'm not using 100%.
Oh, come on.
It's for that amount of investment.
And it's clear.
I get it.
No, I mean, of course, I agree with every word that you're saying.
I just think, given his behavior and his demonstrated disloyalty and viciousness to previous supporters, why wouldn't he display the same lack of loyalty to Miriam Adelson?
What?
I mean, that's kind of the question.
The only people he's been loyal to are the neocons and his donors.
So he's attacked, you know, so he attacks Islam.
Some of us stand up and say, Probably shouldn't attack Islam.
I don't know.
He said, Praise be to Allah.
Yeah.
How's that attacking Islam?
No.
I mean, what's her name?
The actress said, Inshallah, the other day for the new Devil Wears Prada 2 movie and Hathaway.
Uh huh.
So is that an attack on Islam?
Who knows?
The only people he's been loyal to are the neocons and his donors.
So he's attacked, you know, so he attacks Islam.
Some of us stand up and say, probably shouldn't be attacking a religion.
Oh, you're a Muslim, secret Muslim.
You love Muslims.
Yes, you are.
You do love Muslims.
I love lots of Muslims.
No, just I like reverence and I don't think you should attack people on the basis of their religion.
Don't attack the religion.
Yes.
And all these like evangelicals are like, oh, see, you're a Muslim.
The next week he attacks Jesus.
Wow.
Okay, because it's all.
He attacks Jesus.
Now, you can say that.
When did he attack Jesus?
That's the Messiah meme.
He attacked Jesus the next time.
Oh, that AI art.
Yes, he attacked Jesus.
And all these evangelicals were like, oh, see, you're a Muslim.
The next week, he attacks Jesus.
Attacks.
Wow.
Okay, because it's all connected, right?
Clearly.
Of course.
Well, beyond money, obviously.
Well, right.
But the one person he's never going to attack is Rebbe Schneerson, a Jew.
Yes.
Who?
Rebbe Schneerson.
Rebbe Schneerson?
It's a Jew.
He's not in the Senate.
And then what about Saul Goldberg?
How about that?
How about Saul Goldstein?
Remember him?
Oh, yeah.
What was his show?
Channel J?
Saul Goldstein.
I'm not sure.
I don't remember.
Person he saw.
Oh, no.
Goldstein, you're talking about the guy who was on.
Screw Magazine.
Goldstein.
He was a fact magazine or one of them.
He's a magazine.
He had a show on Public Access New York where he just groused.
And he just, hey, I'm getting ripped off by, and he tells some story about some company that owes him money.
It was a great guy.
Yeah, he was very funny.
Person he's never going to attack is Rebbe Schneerson.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
And, you know, the Chabad leader who's passed, but who I'm not attacking, by the way, but who was regarded as the Messiah by many of his followers.
I don't think Trump should attack him, to be clear.
Trump would never attack him.
That's the one Messiah he will never attack.
So, like, what is that?
Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
All right.
So, their whole thing is Israel controls.
This is a podcast they put on the air?
Two hours of it.
Two hours.
Are these two guys agreeing with each other?
Yeah, it was pretty boring.
But I sat through it.
I want to contrast that with an interview from Associated Press.
And I pulled three clips, but I'm only going to play one, and it's enough.
And this is Eric Weinstein, also conservative.
I think probably.
Oh, Eric, this guy's lost the plot.
Well, he says something really interesting in this interview.
He's a wild card.
You know, there are three people who are doing amazing versions of the drunken boxing game Kanye, who's probably the first one to really fail, Elon, and Donald Trump.
And all three of them tried to do something where you couldn't pin them down, you couldn't figure out what they were going to do next.
And that's what the order is keeps trying to do.
Like, will you commit to this?
Will you say this?
Will you mouth these words?
And none of these people would play the game.
So that's what Donald Trump is.
He's a guy who's got formulas that confuse people like Sam Harris.
I think that Trump is an incredibly intelligent man and that there's incredible method in his tweets of old.
You can just put them into a data set and you say that there are five or six different types of tweets and that the left falls for every one of them every time.
What if the one figure everyone called Unpredictable was actually the most calculated player on the board.
Eric Weinstein flips the narrative, arguing that Donald Trump wasn't random.
He was strategically unreadable.
Weinstein compares Trump to a drunken boxing master impossible to anticipate, impossible to trap.
While critics saw chaos, he sees pattern messaging designed to confuse opponents, disrupt expectations, and force the system into reacting instead of controlling.
And I agree with that.
That is what I call the Trump algo.
And I think you agree with it mostly.
Yeah.
And he does this over and over again.
And that's what the yelling is.
And we're going to, you know, I'm going to bomb civilization.
Iran will no longer be a civilization.
So, you know, so many people got upset.
How can you condemn Hillary Clinton for laughing about Gaddafi being killed, but you don't condemn Trump for saying he's going to wipe a whole civilization off the face of the map?
I said, well, two reasons.
One, He didn't do it, and we knew he wouldn't do it, and we said he wouldn't do it.
He didn't laugh.
He wasn't laughing.
Yeah, he wasn't laughing about it.
He wasn't laughing about a guy being killed and then a rifle stuck up his butt, which is what they did.
They might have fired it too.
So I personally think, and you know, this is people go, oh, he's doing 5D, 7D, go and chess.
Nah.
He's strategic.
He has patterns.
And I personally believe that this president is getting rid of the they that we always talk about.
And the they is not a person, it's not Soros.
It's not, you know, China.
American Steel Tariffs Industry Energized00:08:53
It's an entire system.
It's a whole system that has been around for well over 100 years.
And he's breaking things apart systematically.
And he does not care what Tucker and Buckley think of him.
He's doing it ultimately for my grandchild, the way I see it.
And this pattern emerged on CNBC when he was grousing about the Supreme Court overruling of his tariffs.
You know, we had a little setback with the Supreme Court.
They said I can charge tariffs, but I have to do it.
a different way.
And because of what they did, we have to pay back $160 billion.
All they had to do was add one sentence, just one sentence, and that's, you don't have to pay anything taken in thus far back.
But because they didn't add, and by the way, it was a close call, too.
There were justices that were powerful that I was right on the tariffs.
But because we lost by just two votes, you know, just little vote, two votes, we have to pay back $165 billion.
They could have, with a little one sentence, you don't have to pay back tariffs.
That have already been received.
You start from this point and you do it a different way.
So we're doing it a different way.
So the grousing is about that he has to pay it back.
And all the mainstream was like, oh, get your money back, got to pay the money back.
Trump's a loser.
And what he's not saying in this clip, he's not saying the tariffs are important for our country, for national security.
He just offhandedly says, I got to do it a different way.
He mentions two Supreme Court justices, the two that he Nominated Gorsuch and Amy Barron, Amy Coney Barrett.
And I think they may have been in on this because just this week I got this email from the oil baron and he says, There's a run on pipe.
I'm like, What?
What are you talking about?
Run on pipe, man.
The tariffs, the 232 tariffs.
Had you even heard about this?
No, tell me.
So the 230, so when Trump says, yeah, I got to do that a different way, well, boy, did he.
And this was by executive order, but it came through a recommendation that has to come from the commerce secretary.
Oh, isn't that coincidental?
That's Lutnick.
And the change in 232 tariffs is significant and very significant to the oil baron because it changes the tariffs on steel products.
And before that, so the way it used to be is you paid 50% on the percentage of steel in a product.
And now we changed it to 50% on the entire product if it contains steel.
Big deal.
It's a huge deal.
There's also a 50%, you know, there's 25% on downstream products.
So if it's foreign steel, it's auto parts, then it's only 25%.
10% if the metal is melted and poured in the United States.
So there's all kinds of different tariffs.
Under 15%, there's no tariff.
But it puts in place a system that reinvigorates, and this is what he promised to do reinvigorates American steel.
There's billions of dollars in steel plants coming online right now.
They'll be fully operational by 2027, 2028.
And yeah, the executive order could be overturned by the next president.
Or you could have a congressional order to vote to overturn that.
Right.
But I don't think.
You could put it in play permanently.
I don't think West Virginia will vote.
It's like the steel producing states will never vote for this.
And it would be suicide because this will create, I believe, hundreds of thousands of jobs.
And I have a couple clips here from the steel industry executive.
This is a lobbying group, it's an industry group, so take it for what it is.
And he kind of explains how.
Fantastic, this change is.
Now, this President Trump has signed an executive order to revamp his tariffs on steel, copper, and aluminum.
The White House calls it a move to strengthen economic and national security.
Brandon Farris joins me now.
He is the Steel Manufacturers Association Executive Vice President.
All right, Brandon, great to have you here.
What do these developments really mean for manufacturing and affordability?
Tell us.
Ashley, thank you so much for having us.
And we are energized.
The steel industry is energized.
This is one of the most exciting times in recent history to be involved in the American steel industry.
President Trump has done more for the 87,000 men and women who make America's steel than any president in modern history.
And what he did last week was a necessary move, it wasn't optional.
He moved the full value of the tariffs to the full product.
Before it was based on percentage of steel, and we saw bad faith importers underreporting the value and avoiding paying the full tariff.
And now they will be paying the full tariff, and the 232s are paying off for the American steel industry.
Yes, this is a great gambit.
Listen, how much has been invested?
Brandon, because there were so many critics of the tariff saying it's a tax and the American consumer is going to ultimately pay the price.
But how successful do you think the tariffs have been in accomplishing the goal that they set out to do?
Ashley, what we believe is the president's signature trade achievement is the 232 steel tariffs.
And they have been historically successful.
Over the last few years, In our industry, they've driven $25 billion in investments.
And they will put online an additional 4 million tons of steel capacity.
And what does that mean?
Putting that into perspective, with that additional 4 million tons of steel capacity, you can build 1,000 guided missile destroyers for the Navy.
That's not just economic might, that is national security, Ashley.
And there's your big, beautiful ships that we're going to build.
And we will build them.
And you do need steel as national security.
And here come the jobs.
And what about manufacturing jobs in this country, Brandon?
Have we seen a turnaround on that level?
Absolutely, we have.
We've got some very impressive job numbers from March.
We're going to continue seeing that as the president's trade policy continues to reshore American manufacturing.
The steel industry, those $25 billion in investments, those are going to create tens of thousands of jobs.
For every steel job you have, you have six or seven throughout the value chain.
And we're going to continue increasing those manufacturing jobs throughout our economy.
So, for the Carlson kids, I think that this was part of the plan all along.
He knew that he would never be able to, these tariffs, they're not going to last through another administration, the ones that he had put 10% here, 50% here, 100% there.
That was just to get everybody, you know, draw them all in.
And then this 232, that was done without any big brouhaha.
No one reported on it, but they're permanent for all intents and purposes.
And by 2028, when there's a new president, regardless of who it is, you won't turn that back.
Then, yeah, yes, is it going to cost more?
I'm sorry, oil baron.
I love him.
He's my brother.
But okay, you've had a good ride.
You can take a little less profit because of your run on pipe for the next two, three years.
And then, you know, it will make no sense to buy inferior steel from South Korea or from China or wherever else you get it from.
It'll be American steel.
And I think it will reinvigorate our country.
And I like it.
Well, it sounds like a good catch.
I like it.
I like it a lot.
And, you know, Trump loves it.
Go suck him off, you pussy.
Well, you know, I got a grandkid coming, so I like it.
I don't mind.
You know, I'll take the pain.
I will lay face down in the mud so my grandchildren can walk over my back.
I got one last little thing here to discuss.
Yeah, you're going to make the sacrifice.
I like that.
John's like, hey, Theodorable, get off my back.
Smoking Weed Joint Fortune Making00:05:03
What are you walking on my back for, kid?
I just want to get this one thing, the cigarette thing, out of the way.
Cigarette thing?
Yeah, I got one short clip, I think, that covers it.
Yeah, WBAL TV Baltimore, UK ban on smoking for anyone born after 2008.
Countries like the Maldives and Bhutan have enacted total tobacco bans, but with a population of nearly 70 million people, this ban in the UK could have serious and long term impacts.
Under the tobacco and vapes bill, the legal age for buying tobacco will increase by one year every year, starting with people born on or after January 1st, 2009.
This means children in the UK who are 17 or younger.
Will never be able to legally buy cigarettes.
I've seen this report, and people are like, oh, can you believe it?
They won't let kids smoke.
It's about purchasing.
They're not going to arrest you if you're smoking on the street.
Well, the other thing is this Mimi dug up an interview with the head of Philip Morris from, I don't know, 10 years ago.
Yeah.
And he predicted this because the company, and nobody's covered this at all, and Philip Morris may be behind this, may be an op.
They don't want to sell cigarettes and tobacco products.
It's always tobacco products anymore because they sell the straight up chemicals and vapes.
Yes, they want to sell the vapes.
And they sell the little chewy thing you put in your mouth.
Yeah, the pot of the s.
Yeah, instead of the tobacco chew, there's no tobacco.
Because tobacco products are a pain in the ass.
They're staying on the shelves.
People aren't buying them anyway.
They're buying the vapes.
And they figure, and the way the CEO told it, there's a clip I could have, but it's hard to clip.
It was, we got China.
We are all our tobacco products fine.
We make tobacco products for China.
Those guys love smoking.
They love smoking.
Nobody else does.
Everyone else wants to vape or they want to chew on a ball, you know, that kind of thing.
So the whole thing is fake.
Chew on a ball.
You know, a thing filled with nicotine salts.
I love vaping.
Yeah, you do.
You're a big vapor.
There's a lot to be said about it.
But you used to smoke like a, you were a smoker.
I would tell the story out of class.
You know, Adam used to not only smoke, but he was a dilettante about it.
And he liked to roll his own.
That's because I was rolling weed in it.
I wasn't just smoking weed.
Yeah, you were rolling weed in it, but it was always this rigmarole.
You didn't use a little machine to make a cool looking cigarette.
No, I was rolling it with hand rolls.
No, man, I've been rolling my own since I was 15 years old.
He did a little roll.
He's rolling his own.
It looks just like they all do.
They look like shit.
No, and I had the long filters, so they looked like a joint, and they were a joint.
They were spliffs, in fact.
That is the traditional name for what I would smoke.
And I enjoyed it very much.
And I'm amazed that Tina married me, despite me being a wake and bake guy.
It was amazing.
She even decided to wake and bake.
I never heard that one.
Oh, John, I would wake up at three in the morning.
Since I quit smoking, I sleep like a baby.
I sleep all the way through seven and a half hours if I'm really lucky, but six and a half, seven hours.
I wake up of my own accord before the alarm.
But when I was smoking weed, I would take a 50 milligram gummy, go to bed, and then I'd wake up at three in the morning, like, I'm awake.
I'd go out on the porch, smoke a whole joint, go back to bed.
It was pretty severe.
Now, that's bad.
You would say that I was a lot more fun back in the day.
But I don't think I would.
Well, you would have.
But I don't think I've changed that much.
I don't think you changed that much either.
To be honest about it, you're pretty much, I don't think that the weed thing was.
I think it was just habitual.
I wasn't really affecting your personality to any extent.
Except, you know, when you first smoke, sometimes, you know, I remember the time you were out in front of Mevio.
Yeah.
Just smoking a joint.
And as the employees wandered in whenever they felt like it, hey, you'd always greet them.
Hey, I'm glad you could finally make it to work.
They were coming in at 10 30.
One after the other.
And did that stop pretty quick after I was sitting out there smoking my weed and telling them that I was happy they could finally make it?
No, not really.
Yes, it did.
It made a difference.
It went out of business anyway.
Yeah.
It wasn't a great year ahead of your time, is the reason.
No, no one's making money on podcast networks.
Yeah, they're making money by selling to other dummies.
Well, yes, there's that.
But that has always been my plight.
I'm always 10 years too early.
Stolen Art Zelensky Live Streaming00:03:28
I'm like, man, look at that guy.
He made a billion dollars.
How did he do that?
No.
We went public in 1996.
Woo!
You know, two years later, people were, you know, Mark Cuban made $10 billion on selling a domain name.
I was the first one.
No.
Face it.
I think it was $3 billion.
Okay.
This is my plight.
This is what it is.
Yeah, Cuban had the domain, Mark Cuban's claim to fame.
Broadcast.com.
He put up the domain name broadcast.com.
Pretty much.
There was.
Yeah, I think it was Yahoo that said, we'll give you a couple billion for it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was how he made his fortune.
He was live streaming.
He's a marketing genius.
He's a business genius.
Yes.
He was live streaming radio stations and selling ads around it.
Then he would literally go to the stations and say, I'm becoming a billionaire off of your product.
Thanks.
And they went, Okay, Mark.
Okay.
Sounds good.
No, maybe I'm not shrewd enough.
I'm a podcast.
Let's face it.
That's what I am.
I've always been a disc jockey.
I started when I was 13.
I was a disc jockey then.
I was a disc jockey on TV.
And I'm a disc jockey now.
It's your calling.
Call it what you want.
That's what I call it.
I have one oddball clip that nobody's covering.
Okay.
This was unreported news.
Unreported.
Zelensky.
Stolen art.
On March 22nd, three paintings by French masters Cézanne Renoir and Matisse, worth more than $10 million, were stolen from a museum near the Italian city of Parma.
The theft has since been investigated by Italy's Carabinieri and the Cultural Heritage Protection Unit.
Surprisingly, less than a month after the heist, one of the stolen paintings, A cup and plate of cherries by Paul Cézanne appeared in one of President Zelensky's videos.
Presumably recorded on April 16th, the video shows Zelensky addressing Ukrainians, with a stolen painting appearing on a wall directly behind his back.
The video was published on the official website of the President of Ukraine, but has since been removed.
This is a rare case of a stolen painting reappearing in public.
Chris Marinello, founder of Art Recovery International, says that a very small percentage of stolen art is ever found.
Five to 10% of all art that's stolen is ever recovered, which is why we need to start focusing more on prevention.
He also confirms that stolen art often ends up in countries where the rule of law is weak.
They move them on through Belgium or Eastern Europe, countries where due diligence is not often practiced as it is in the West.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can you believe that?
He's got the stolen art.
This is a corrupt operation.
Of course it is.
You know, there's no focus on him right now.
That's the problem.
Yeah, I know.
It's been taken away.
Yeah.
You know, and Trump is only helping Putin kill Ukrainians.
So, yeah.
Hey, with that fine little clip that no one's reporting about, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Saying the morning to you, the man who put the C in the Carlson Kid, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only mister still alive.
Moose Dressed Hooker Pun Business00:10:00
John C. DeMore.
Well, in the morning, you, Mr. Adam Green, ownership of C. Boozle Grand, Fields Air, Subs and Water, Dames and Knights out there.
In the morning to you trolls over there in the troll room.
Let me count you for a second.
Don't move.
There we go.
1377 in the troll room, listening live.
It's a noagenda stream.com.
I've been troubleshooting one of our producers.
He's like, I can't hear the stream.
I'm getting kicked out.
How can I help?
I keep getting kicked out by that.
Well, are you listening in a podcast app, like a modern podcast at podcastapps.com?
Are you listening on a strat list at noagenda.com?
Okay.
We don't actually have that domain name.
You know, if you have a technical problem, You need to learn to describe a little bit what's going on.
It's, you know, I am the help desk for No Agenda.
I'm the first line of defense before I toss it over my shoulder and say, Void Zero, help.
And Void Zero is just one of the many people who help make this show what it is.
I mentioned at the top of the show, if you're listening right now, this is a value for value podcast.
And people have been helping us for over 18 years in so many different ways.
No one's a listener.
Everybody's a producer.
Everybody has an obligation.
When it comes around to you and we're talking about something that you know that you're an expert in, you need to email us, which means email me at adamacurry.com because no one can spell Dvorak.
And it's not Dvorak.com either.
Huh.
How many times has that happened?
My email's getting bounced from John at Dvorak.com.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is there a Dvorak.com?
Do you have that?
You should have that.
Actually, I do own it, I believe.
It's never used.
Some guy bought it four times ago and gave it to me.
I'm not sure who.
I'm not sure where the registration is.
I'd have to look it up.
I went into.
No, I use.org for a reason.
I'm a.org, not a com.
You're a.org kind of guy.
I checked curry.com today.
It doesn't expire until 2030.
That's good.
I'm good.
So at that point, I'm done.
I got to end this sometime.
How about you?
We've looked for so many exits.
Strategies at a certain point.
When we just be old and tired and just.
We went to 2030.
They won't even.
The whole.
This is.
Nah.
Get through the next election.
I'm not doing another presidency.
We can't do another presidency.
Well, that's 2028.
Okay.
I was thinking like 2027 somewhere, you know, before we get to the.
Now you make my wife nervous.
Stop it.
Mimi's got five businesses she's running.
She doesn't need you, the talent.
John's the talent.
We just do everything around him.
I love your family.
Your family's great.
So, just like the Dvorak family, everybody here pitches in and does something for the show.
And we ask you to support us by returning the value that you receive from the media deconstruction that we do, which I would say someone emailed me and said, You're not keeping to your promise.
What is our promise, John?
We promise to deliver.
Unbiased news deconstruction.
No, two hours and 45 minutes.
No, what does the FAQ say?
Oh, what does the FAQ say?
It says we do, I know I wrote it.
Yes, we do media deconstruction.
Yeah, well, somehow that morphed into you do fair and balanced media deconstruction.
Said, now that's Fox News stuff, which is a lie.
Oh, yeah, we, yeah, it doesn't mean fair and balanced.
No, fair and balanced is bull crap.
We're very unbalanced, in fact.
Yeah.
We are who we are.
And what we don't do is we don't get captured by the audience like Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, all these guys.
Yeah, and start hating Jews for no good reason.
Yeah, we don't care.
Remember Ukraine?
Man, I got flack in Texas for that.
That's exactly what they said.
So the guy had a hair lip.
Basically, right?
Pretty much.
There were Ukraine flags everywhere.
Like, no, this is a scam.
Oh, yeah.
Remember the Ukraine flags in Congress, which I think is illegal.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Ukraine flags everywhere.
I think huge Ukraine flags in Dripping Spring.
Like, no, Ukraine is one big corrupt country.
Always has been.
Always has been.
And it was us.
It was Victoria Nuland.
It was Brennan.
It was Lindsey Graham.
They always want, they hate Russia.
They want to invade Russia and take Russia's riches.
And you still hear coons.
Our number one enemy, Russia.
No, he's not.
He's not.
We're going to do lots of business.
Here's how that call went about the oil that Scott Besant lifted the sanctions on.
Here's how that went.
Vlad is Donald.
Listen, we're going to release the sanctions.
Whatever you do, don't give it to the Europeans.
Okay, Donald, good idea.
They sell to Japan.
Everybody got oil from Russia, China, but not the EU.
And they don't deserve it.
They're stupid.
Cutting off the oil and gas from Russia.
How stupid are they?
This is a question you need to answer.
They're very stupid.
Very stupid.
They just have a hard on for Russia.
Hard on for Russia and for renewables.
Oh, yeah.
Windmills.
Yeah, let's shut down the nuclear power plants in Germany.
Let's see what happens.
Yeah.
What could possibly go wrong?
FDU, that's right.
See Brooklyn.
So, yes, time, talent, treasure.
As I said, many people put a lot of time and talent into doing things for us.
And that includes artists.
Now, it used to be really hard what the artist did.
It's gotten a lot easier just prompting some stuff back and forth.
I think, did, if I remember correctly, did we choose another Darren O compilation here?
Let me check.
Yeah.
Episode 1861, we titled that The Cone of Uncertainty.
This got some good traction on the X.com, which is the only social network I ever look at and pretty much only my inbox or my mentions.
And it was indeed Darren O'Neill, but he nailed it.
The classic road signs, which were well done in this case.
No agenda, Curry Dvorak.
And then a digital sign Welcome to Canada.
Would you like to die today?
And a nice little Canadian maple leaf in the corner.
And a lot of Canadians responded saying, Unfortunately, this is true.
It was like the reality was pressed in front of them.
They went, Yeah, yeah, it kind of does suck what we're doing over here.
So it worked.
It worked.
It was well done.
Good idea, Darren.
We appreciate it.
Take a quick look at noagendaartgenerator.com to see if there wasn't really anything else.
Yeah, that's what I'm checking.
I like something and you mixed it.
Let's see.
It was Constance Granger, the Strait of Whore Moose, which was a toll booth.
Yeah, you're right.
It didn't take much to talk me out of it.
If it wasn't a moose head, Well, it was a moose dressed as a hooker.
It was a pun, but the pun was in the title.
Yes, dressed as a hooker.
And if you look at the title, Whore Moose, as in a moose that is a whore, it's funny, but just the art by itself is no one's going to get this.
I mean, it's like one of those riddles.
What is it called?
There's a particular kind of cartoon.
They must have a term for it where it's something you have to think about.
We can't have people thinking about our art.
We just can't.
I will say that Rocket Boys, no agenda floss free zone, I think that was used in the newsletter.
That was pretty funny.
Yeah, yeah, that was good.
I like that one.
Dana Brunetti thought that was one of the funniest things he'd ever heard.
What?
That I busted you for flossing your teeth on this one.
Yeah, he said it was, I guess, cracked him up.
Maverick, my periodontist, says, What is this?
What is this?
You're telling people to stop flossing?
This is no good.
He got so much response.
Can't floss while you're on the air.
Can't do that.
It's no good.
NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
We encourage everybody to prompt around and do some work.

Linda Karma Cadel Resume Credits00:14:55
You get the associate executive producer title, which is good for the rest of your life and is valid anywhere Hollywood style credits are, not just Hollywood style, Hollywood credits are recognized, a real credit.
You can even enter it on an account.
If you don't have one, you can open one up at imdb.com.
$300 or more, you become an executive producer.
You can put it on your curriculum, you can put it on your resume.
I wonder does Linda Lupatkin advocate for putting your no agenda executive producer credit on your resume that gets results?
I never asked her, but she might put it in the next note whether she does or not.
I think it's pretty cool on LinkedIn.
It looks great on LinkedIn.
Absolutely.
We also have a special promotion running for the Insta Knight Order of the Heart, the Red Heart, which, if you don't already have one, you will receive a Noah J. The Red Knight.
The Red Knight.
What is the exact title?
Because I think I'm getting it wrong every time.
Red Knight Order of the Heart.
All right.
So we have Black Knights, but now this will be a forever Red Knight status Order of the Heart, which includes a handsome lapel pin designed by Sir Paul Couture.
Yeah, which is coming in May.
Coming in May.
So it's a double bonus.
And that will be going to Anonymous, who checked in from Salem, Oregon, with $1,000, who wants to be Sir Zed Anonymous.
But I should leave.
Oh, he said he wanted to be Sit Zed Anonymous.
But I should leave that for one of the Zeds.
No, I think it must have been Sir.
Sir Zed Anonymous.
It's a typo here.
If it pleases the committee, may I be Sir X Anonymous?
Well, I'm sure that's not a problem, sir.
X Gen. Sir, X Nonimus is approved, and you will receive the Red Knight Order of the Heart in just a moment.
Cody Dodson in San Antonio.
Just down the road from you, actually.
$1,000.
In the morning, good sirs, I realize I've been negligent paying the bill for my conspiracy therapist.
This donation is a big thank you for all the value you both provide.
John, thank God you're still recovering well and in such good spirits.
If I can clear out my voice, maybe.
Get well soon, Adam.
We need more old rock and roll stories.
Yeah.
Really?
I believe this installment makes me a red knight.
Please dub me Sir Dobie, destroyer of libraries.
I'd like to request hookers and blow at the roundtable.
That's always there.
If the peerage committee approves.
Sincerely, Cody W. Dobson, not your neighbor in San Antonio.
P.S. Space is fake.
We're both in need of lozenges today.
I just popped one myself.
Thank you, Cody.
Dennis Cadel?
I'm going to say Cadel.
I guess.
Cadel?
No, Cadel.
Tampa, Florida, $3.33.33.
ITM, gentlemen, this donation is a follow up after all your great feedback about our Be Well Manuka Honey.
Ah!
I was talking about it at ManukaGold.com.
M A N U K A Gold.com.
We sell natural Manuka Honey products.
We have an extremely popular line of topical creams.
But our best seller is Be Well, that's B E E Well, Manuka honey blended with ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, and MCT oil.
Yes, I've been taking a spoonful of that every day in addition to the pain relief.
Great for teas or topping yogurt or oatmeal.
It's good for everything from inflammation to boosting your immune system and also tastes amazing.
ManukaGold.com is offering the listeners of Gitmo Nation a 20% discount with the code BUNGINO.
No, I'm kidding.
JCD, where is Bongino?
Did he stop doing his podcast?
No, no, he's back on the air doing it.
He's a little reticent to talk about his.
No, I think he's taking a pause again.
Again?
I think so.
I think he got a lot of flack.
Yeah, for Stolen Valor, 20% discount with the code JCD20.
Or for those of you in the village's farmer market in Florida on Saturday mornings, we have a booth from nine to one.
If you see us, stop by for a $20 free gift with purchase.
The villages, is that the creepy Disney village?
No, that's celebration.
Right.
I forgot about that.
As always, thank you, John and Adam.
This is still the best podcast in the universe.
We're happy to help keeping it going.
Don't forget to use code JCD20 for 20% off.
Sincerely, Dennis Cadle, Tampa, Florida.
It's an outstanding product.
I wouldn't say it if it wasn't.
Thank you.
And you didn't need to donate for me to say it because it's an outstanding product.
I could not believe how quickly the pain relief set in.
And celebrations in Orlando.
Have you ever been there?
No.
You?
Worth the trip.
You?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Isn't that where a whole bunch of like boomers swap wives?
Maybe.
Okay.
Film at 11.
It's quite the manicured faux little city.
And they drive around in golf carts?
No, no, it's where you can drive your car through there.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Max Martyr in Van Nuys, California comes up with 333.33.
Hi, Adam and John, he writes.
I'm making this donation of 333.33 for my wife, Annie Martyr, for her birthday, April 26th.
She's a wonderful wife and mother to our two kids, and I can't think of anything she would like more than to be an executive producer for your show.
She listens to every episode when they become available and even re listens to them with me in the car.
She adores you guys, especially John.
Yeah.
Please give her an extra special de douching for her birthday.
You've been de douched.
Happy birthday, Annie.
I love you, Max, Annie's husband.
Aww, that's so lovely.
De barred, debarred in Fenton, Michigan.
Row of ducks 222.22.
First time, long time, a de douching is in order.
You've been de douched.
A thousand apologies for my belated contribution, but I am poor.
It took me the better part of eight months to save for this donation, and there is more to come.
I know I could have done smaller donations, but my reasons are as follows.
One, you two really deserve it, and with JCD's recent health scare, I knew I couldn't wait any longer.
And I hope you're feeling better, John, he says.
Two, I heard karma really works, and I'm in dire need of all the karma Gitmo Nation can muster.
With the very limited wins in my life, I think having the title of associate executive producer will not only cheer me up, but look good on my resume.
Yes, that's, you know, you got to take that into account.
It cheers you up.
Four, I could not show my face at the Brighton, Michigan meetup on the 26th as a douchebag.
Wow.
So, when everybody at the Brighton, Michigan meetup on the 26th, make sure you say, I had a D, D barred.
Thank you both sincerely.
Again, I need all the karma and prayers, but for the sake of time, I'll settle for an F 35 Karma as my jangle.
Love is lit.
D. Bard.
You've got karma.
Eli, the coffee guy, is here in Bensonville, Illinois.
204 23.
With all that's going on in the world, no agenda is needed more than ever.
All of us producers really appreciate the dedication.
You won't get a bad ticker.
You won't let a bad ticker or a flight across the pond stop the show.
By the way, how's that coming?
What?
You're going to go?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going.
You're going to be able to get back?
No.
There's a big.
No, May 6th.
We're going May 6th and we're supposed to return May 13th.
The show will continue as regularly scheduled.
But if I can't come back, guess what?
The show will continue as regularly scheduled.
Keep up the great work.
What happens to the dog?
Oh, Jill and Mike, they got her at the ranch.
She's fine.
She loves the ranch.
Okay, good.
For producers who want great coffee, visit gigawattcoffeeworosters.com and use the code ITM for 20% off your first order.
Stay caffeinated.
Says Eli the coffee guy, you have the next two.
Yes, it's a ITM 20 for 20% off your first order.
What did I keep saying?
ITM, just ITM's ITM 20.
We don't want people to get bogged out of their discount.
So the next two is interesting because Robert Mussard comes in from Riverside, California with $200 with no note.
So he will get a double up karma.
You've got double up karma.
But then I see Linda Lupatkin, Linda Lou, and it says see note with her $200 donation.
I do not have a note.
Do you have a note?
I didn't look.
But Jay did not send me a note.
I noticed.
Well, let's see if.
This is important.
This is Linda Lou, man.
Well, you know what you're going to do if we can't find a note?
What will we do?
We'll read her standard sales pitch.
Well, do you have the standard sales pitch there?
The last note I have from her is from May 16th.
From last year?
Yeah.
From last year?
Well.
Well, this is a conundrum.
We'll have a note from the last spreadsheet.
I'll just open that up and it should be good to go.
Do you have that?
Yeah, I have it on the download list.
That's good because I'm on Linux.
Oh, Linux.
If you can grab it from the last show, I feel horrible because Linda Lou, I don't think she's ever said C note.
Never.
Here's what she normally says this Jobs karma, your resume.
Has about 10 seconds to make an impression, and most don't.
For a resume that gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com.
Linda helps professionals and executives turn their executive experience to a clear story of leadership, results, and impact.
That's ImageMakers Inc. with a K, and Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You thought, how much?
Well, I feel bad because I like to do, I like to give good service to Linda Liu.
But whatever it is, we'll make up for it.
We guarantee you that.

You don't care what the point is.
Well, you said so at the beginning.

Thank you for your service.
Amen.
Love you, brother.

Obama, you might die.

Where is you might die?
I have such a good system.
What?
You might.

You might die.
Hardly worth it.
I'm glad I did that.
Also, we have a.

I wasn't going to let you get it.
You want to say, poor guy.
That's true.
Oh, that's the wrong one.
I see.
That's good enough.
We have them.
There's so many of them.
I think it has to do with the classic.
Here we go.
That's true.
Since you called for it.
A night from Chris.
He also said Mimi Rocks.
That I just missed.
I would have said that.
I didn't miss that on purpose.
Chris Kinney.
We learned how to say that on the last show.
He said on show 1860, my parents, Mike and Becky Kenny, gifted me an instant knighthood for my 50th birthday.
That's right.
I would like to claim that knighthood with the following title.
Which will be, what will it be?
Sir Sound Guy, Red Knight of Streaming Data, Protector of the Transactions.
At the round table, I'd like to partake of Shiner Bohemian Black Lager and True Buffalo Style Hot Wings and Blue Cheese.
He likes long stuff.
By the way, Mike welcomed JCD to the Zipper Club.
The Zipper Club is a club for people who have undergone open heart surgery.
It is named after the unique scar running up the sternum that looks a lot like a zipper.
You don't say.
ITM, Chris Kenny, soon to be Sir Sound Guy.
Yes, that is in fact true because we have a couple of knights to welcome today, and I'm going to bring up my blade.
John has a little tiny one.
I got one right here, the portable.

I do want to say one more thing.
I want to thank Sir Skunkbeard for the card.
He sent the card and a coin.
Oh, which he wanted to remind you was valuable.
What coin was it?
It was a little coin.
I'll talk to you about it after the show.
Oh, man.
Like a million dollars valuable?
We should be so lucky.
How about a Bitcoin?
That's good money.
Somebody should send us a Bitcoin.
That would be nice.
But we'll take whatever we can get.
And we appreciate everybody supporting us.
NoAgendaDonations.com.

Now, here's the good news it doesn't cost anything.
You don't have to, there's no, you know, like secret handshake.
You just say in the morning and everyone's like, hey, in the morning, how are you doing?
And you grab a drink and have a good time and chat about stuff.
And you will find that even though everybody's from very diverse backgrounds, from constitutional lawyers to lowly hookers, we have them.
They've been to our meetups.
And by the way, not all of them are lowly.
Why did I even say that?
I don't know.
Help me.

What?
I don't see any ISOs.
I decided to let you have it.
Oh, what?
You're going to some excuse like dog ate my homework?

Dog ate my homework.
I was in the ER and no one attended to me?

Please.
Yeah.
You know that I tried to get people to help you, right?
Did you know that?
I'm sorry, like how?
Oh, I put out a tweet.
Oh, I saw that tweet, yeah.
I said, How did it pay off?
I got, well, I had, there's a lot of doctors responded.
People were calling nurses they knew.
So I don't know if it helps.
It got you a nasty doctor, so maybe it helped.
But then you got the kind nurse who wanted to immediately take your complaints.
So.
Did you get helped?
Do you feel like you got helped?
You got a monitor?
You got an iPhone?
Yeah, I'm good to go.
Okay.
Here are my ISOs.
You choose.
These geezers got to be sick of picking ISOs.
That's just cute.
I don't think it's appropriate for an ISO.
I like it.
I like it too.
How about you put some money toward us?
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little bit, a little muffled.
Nice, funny guys.
Real sweet.
Now you're talking.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Yeah.
Boom.
You like that one?
You like the thank you to that?
Yeah.
Oh, hold on a second.
And then the last one is.
They were right about everything.
Okay, that's the one.
I knew I'd nail it eventually.
Hey, everybody, it's that time again.
John's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
This is a crazy one.
This comes from producer Zach.
He sends me this website.
And it's like, holy mackerel.
If you think you're handy or handyman, you need, you know, Some sort of a wrench, or maybe you need a certain kind of special hammer.
Vice grip, vice grip.
You need vice grips, real ones, and ones that say vice grips on them.
And they work right, which is not everyone.
I have vice grips.
Oh, you need some tools for a power tree.
You need wires, or you need level controls, or temperature control devices, filters, filters of any sort.
Check out this website.
This is the damnedest thing.
This is everything known to man.
Okay.
The name of the website is.
Master, I'm sorry, what?
McMaster, I'm sorry, McMasterMCMaster.com.
McMaster.com.
Wow.
Wow.
Keep scrolling.
Wow.
Oh, man.
They got hard hats.
Oh, my.
You can scroll for days.
Oh, my goodness.
This is great.
Look at this thing.
It's like Home Depot on a website.
On steroids.
Hand tools.
Let's see.
Plumbing and janitorial.
Do they have toilets?
I need a toilet.
I need a new toilet.
Toilets and urinals.
They got toilets.
Urinals.
Wall mounted urinals.
Well, that's what you need.
Yeah.
Yes.
They have bidets.
Do they have bidets?
I want a bidet.
We got, wow, this is pretty good.
You can, oh, you can look by, you can sort it by different bowl.
I've been thinking about a new toilet.
Yeah.
Well, you know, here's your why.
I'm good.
Why?
What's wrong with the toilet?
I don't like our toilet.
What's wrong with it?
Well, it's too low and it's cheap.
It feels cheap.
I want it when I want people to go to Costco, it has nice toilets for good prices.
I want people to feel like, oh, this is a nice toilet.
Well, then you want to get one of those Japanese things.
Nah, that's naff.
I don't want to get one of those.
So before the guy, you know, can say hello, he gets washed.
No, I don't want it.
I want, well, I like the snowmobile ones, you know.
They're really huge.
Like he's, I want it to be a throne.
That's what I want for my guests.
It's not for me, it's for my guests.
McMaster.com.
That is an interesting find.
I like it.
Yeah, I say, I was very impressed.
Yeah, I like that a lot.
Well, that's just one of the many tips you get at tipoftheday.net.
Created faster for you and me than just the tip with JCD.

Until Sunday, adios, mofos, a hooey hooey, and such.
Soundbite clipped and refined produces hum in the other room.
You can feel that twist coming soon.
Media assassination flows, human resources nobody knows.
Orange man bad, sprints get red while the chat room crawls blood red.
Jobs, jobs, jobs in the late night light.
Value for value keeps it tight when we actually send you cash.
You salute, then roll it back.
Second half, momentum builds, nights get.
Name the ledger feels, spur this pain that bells ring loud.
Producer pride, get more proud.
Soundbite, clipped and refined.
Producers home in the other room you can feel that twist coming soon.
Media assassination flows, human resources nobody knows.
Orange Man, bad scripts get red while the shat run cross blood red.
Drive down late night you salute, then roll it back and slow, bantering, chatting, trading blows.
They said that's a great question.
And we say, No, it's not with aggression.
Get more on the porch, get more on the porch.
You pull it back.
