No Agenda - 1766 - "Cinematic Ambush"

Starting point is 00:00:00 Come on, kids, let's do a show. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, May 22nd, 2025. This is your award-winning give-on, Asian Media, South Side Asian, episode 1766. This is No Agenda. Making Africa News Great Again. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country

Starting point is 00:00:20 here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're waiting for an ambush, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. It's always so disappointing when, uh,

Starting point is 00:00:37 when a producer sends us the same clip and then I'm like, oh, John didn't reply to it. Maybe he didn't see it. I got it, I got it, I got it. It's my clip, I got it. And then you'm like, Oh, John didn't reply to him. Maybe he didn't see it. I got it. I got it. I got it. It's my clip. I got it. And then you sent bonus clips. You're talking about the ambush.

Starting point is 00:00:52 Of course I'm talking about the ambush. It's beautiful. Whoever made that. We're going to talk about this. What we're going to talk about is the meeting between Trump and the prime minister of South Africa and the media is jumping all over Trump. Just, I have a, the CBS clips, I think are worse. Uh, it's as if there is, uh, whatever the president,

Starting point is 00:01:19 our president of our United States does is no good. And everybody else is better. First of all, let me… I don't know what the media wonders why it keeps losing credibility. It doesn't even support the country that it's in. It hates America. I just love that we have actual Africa news that people are interested in. We've been pushing for this for years. We have. Fine, okay, it's South Africa, all right.

Starting point is 00:01:50 It's not... Who cares? It's not the jungle. We've been talking about this white, you know, whether it's a genocide or not, but the white, the movement against the white farmers. And I have clips here that are six years old. Oh yeah, oh yeah. From a report done by TRT, the Turkish service.

Starting point is 00:02:10 This is not new. Let me kick this off with a BBC report and then you can take it from there. Why has this issue of alleged violence against the Afrikaner community in South Africa become such a central theme for President Trump? He was talking about this in his first term South Africa become such a central theme for President Trump? He was talking about this in his first term and looking at the possibility of giving refugee

Starting point is 00:02:32 status to Afrikaners. But it's only now that we're seeing that he's really going for it. I don't think it's a coincidence that his close friend and close ally, Elon Musk, was in the Oval Office. Elon Musk is born in South Africa. He has pushed these unsubstantiated claims of a white genocide. And Donald Trump, I think, will have been massively influenced by him. Oh, it's all because of Elon. That's why. Trump is dumb. He doesn't look at anything himself. Well, hold on a second. This is a self-contradictory report, which is something you can expect.

Starting point is 00:03:07 She says he tried to do this in the first term. Elon wasn't around. No, it's great. So if Elon wasn't around during the first term, what makes it any different? Nothing, nothing. They're beside themselves. I'll do one more. This is CNN.

Starting point is 00:03:23 No, do as many as you want. There's a lot of good material here that people need to hear. Well, this kind of kicks off the supercut. This is Anderson Cooper, the Pooper 360 with Cornell Brooks. Professor Brooks, I mean what message... I'm sorry. Professor Brooks. Professor Brooks, I mean what message do you think it sends to America and the world when the white US president lectures a black South African president? White, white, black, black, white, white. On television about a genocide of which is not happening.

Starting point is 00:03:51 Not happening. Not happening. Not happening. I said so. It sends a message that the president is continuing to rewrite history and in so doing also dramatically and disastrously impact the president. So in other words, what we had in the White House today was a cinematic ambush, if you will.

Starting point is 00:04:12 And in any- Did he say cinematic ambush? That's a show title. What we had in the White House today was a cinematic ambush, if you will, and anything but diplomatic attack. And this is reminiscent, if you will, of 110 years ago when President Woodrow Wilson showed a film called The Birth of a Nation, which was a film that glorified the Klan. Oh yeah, oh yeah. The Birth of a Nation about Africa? No, this is, it's synonymous, you see, because President Trump is racist.

Starting point is 00:04:48 President Woodrow Wilson showed a film called The Birth of a Nation, which was a film that glorified the clan. So here we have this film today, which is an attempt to rewrite history and adversely impact the present. And so the country should be horrified because President Trump is literally using both racism, anti-black racism, and xenophobia, anti-immigrant, anti-refugee hate, to not only divide the country, but divide the globe. And what has been made bad and terrible in this country he's globalizing and exporting in ways that are detrimental to the interests of the United States.

Starting point is 00:05:35 Wow that's a professor right there and he introduced the term it was my first taste of the ambush that we we play the super cut? Yeah, there's a super cut floating around of all these different, mostly on CNN and MSNBC, of course, but every play other networks too, including ABC, BBC as well. I didn't clip it, but I saw BBC do it. Yep. It's worldwide, baby.

Starting point is 00:06:00 The dramatic scene in the Oval Office today, the tense confrontation, President Trump ambushing the president of South Africa. Next, the Oval Office today, the tense confrontation, President Trump ambushing the President of South Africa. Next, another Oval Office meltdown, President Trump ambushing the President of South Africa. President Trump is being accused of conducting something of a diplomatic ambush of South Africa's president in the Oval Office. To be with you, I'm Katie Tur, President Trump orchestrated another Oval Office ambush today.

Starting point is 00:06:23 Today, Donald Trump meeting with the president of South Africa and attempting to ambush and humiliate that leader. Ambush! To Zelensky territory where essentially he was a bit ambushed inside the Oval Office. Felt like an ambush in there, kind of like the President Zelensky meeting in the Oval Office. This was an ambush, I tell you. An ambush. My goodness. I wish I had this one when I was talking to the kids about propaganda.

Starting point is 00:07:09 This would have been a good one. Why don't you roll out your CBS clips that you got? I've got a couple of CBS clips here. This is the, I didn't, the whole, they did a whole first of the show. Well, of course. But I just only have three short clips from the beginning just to emphasize some of the use of loaded terms, very unjournalistic professionally, I think, very loaded wordage put out in such a way that is slanted, anti-Trump, which seems to me to be a very sketchy thing to do right now since CBS is

Starting point is 00:07:49 still under duress over the lawsuit, over 60-minute lawsuit, which is hurting their, you know, they're getting bought out. But they don't care. Let's hear what we got to say here. For more than a century, the Oval Office has been the scene of dignified diplomatic exchanges. But what point did you not know President Trump was in the Oval Office and things have changed? Between the President of the United States and other world leaders. But President Trump has turned the Oval into a ring for sparring with them, including the President of Ukraine, the Prime Minister of Canada, and now the President of South Africa. Mr. Trump sprung a video on an unsuspecting

Starting point is 00:08:26 serial mammoposa designed to back Mr. Trump's unsubstantiated claims that there's a genocide underway in South Africa targeting white farmers. In recent days, the president has welcomed white refugees from South Africa to the United States, just weeks after signing an executive order suspending America's refugee admission program. Deborah Pata is in South Africa and is South African. We will hear from her in a moment. But we begin with Weijia Jiang at the White House. Weijia?

Starting point is 00:08:58 Good evening. For months, President Trump has accused South Africa of condoning genocide, even cutting off all US assistance to the country back in March. Today, the South African president was hoping to reset the relationship, but Trump had a different plan. Yeah, he was ready for an ambush. He was hiding out, ready to go, ready to do it.

Starting point is 00:09:19 Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready. He don't care because he's making a mockery of, he's turning the oval into a ring. Yes. Nobody, these networks do not see any humor in any of this, of course. I love the whole turn the lights down. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:40 I'm gonna play you a video. How old is that video, actually? Well, the one, he showed a bunch of videos and they don't really discuss the videos. They just kind of say they were bull crap. But they don't play any of Malema, which is the main guy we're talking about here. The ANC guy, yeah. No, he's an EFF guy. He's the economic freedom fighter.

Starting point is 00:10:04 He is the third most popular or fourth, depending on what numbers you look at, most popular party in the country. Julius, Julius I think. Julius, yeah. Not to be confused with Electronic Frontier Foundation. But it could easily be. Easily. But they, this guy is a genocidal maniac and I have clips from him from various years and he was singing this kill the boar, kill the farmer, kill the boar,

Starting point is 00:10:34 kill the farmer, which is one of the videos they showed. And CBS didn't even mention or play any of that, of course, because it would take away from the slant that they have. And we'll have some more evidence of that in the next clip. Ramaphosa acknowledged a law that allows his government to expropriate land for public use with compensation. But he insisted white farmers are not being targeted. Nobody can take the land. Nobody can take the land. They kill the white farmer. And when they kill the white farmer nothing happens to them.

Starting point is 00:11:08 There is quite a bit. Nothing happens to them. There is criminality in our country. So he says, this guy, the Prime Minister says, there's a lot of criminality but it's not like directed necessarily just at whites. There was something that she said, I tried to make some comment on its way cut it play play the next clip The meeting started with a friendly jab from President Trump. He is a man who is Certainly in some circles really respected other circles a little bit less respected like all but when South African President Ciro Ramaphosa denied Trump's accusations his administration is allowing genocide.

Starting point is 00:11:46 Trump was prepared to push back. Turn the lights down and just put this on, it's right behind you. On a television brought into the Oval Office for this very moment, the president showed videos peddling, peddling, peddling, unsubstantiated, unsubstantiated, unsubstantiated claims of genocide against white South African farmers. Those people in many cases are being executed. They're being executed. Yeah. I have a boots on the ground. I don't know if you want it yet or if you want to play some of your other clips first.

Starting point is 00:12:20 Well, we can go with boots. I have a boots on the ground too. Which one's yours from JB? Mine's from MD. You play read yours. This is me. I remind everybody unlike other podcasts where it's just a bunch of dudes sitting around with the headphones on shooting the shooting, the breeze on their hands, on the heads, uh, unlike the breeze, cans on their heads.

Starting point is 00:12:45 Unlike the mainstream media who just have a mission and a narrative, we have producers who are all around the world, which we affectionately call Gitmo Nation. And I did a call out and I said, Varsam and South Africaners, and we both independently, apparently, got boots on the ground report. John C. DeBorock, your report, go. It is from Matthew. About eight years ago, I did accounting for a publicly traded company growing tea in South Africa.

Starting point is 00:13:13 I learned from their CEO that if a black person goes into a white person's home and stays there for a day or two, the white owner, while the white owner is away, the house belongs to the black person. Yeah, hey. If it then takes thousands and thousands of dollars of legal expenses to remove them, South Africa is way ahead of California in squatting laws. They told me a story of a huge black woman who moved into a guest house on the tea farm and would not leave.

Starting point is 00:13:43 Her only English phrase was, diss my house. At the time, I thought this was hilarious. The company had to leave South Africa because they had to hire a quota of black workers and the laws kept getting worse for the white owners. Also, I recall the ownership of the business had to be partially owned by a black person. It's kind of like China, actually. Very much like China. There's a black South African group that got ownership rights and was paid to do nothing.

Starting point is 00:14:15 It's always about the money in the end. The South African story has legs. Ah, okay. So I have a little more expanded story but along the similar lines This is from JB who says and you'll recall the the clip when I his opening starts with being a white neo-nazi adjacent South African Of course we had the clip of that Yeah, the professor cute. Yeah I thought it might may be best place to provide a boots on the ground of the current situation in South Africa.

Starting point is 00:14:45 The famous saying goes, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. This very much applies. The ANC government is no longer the Soviet trained freedom fighters the world remembers them as. There's absolutely nothing they have not stolen or broken in their 30 years in power. They have now finally run out of other people's money and are now selling themselves and the country to the highest bidder. The consensus, while not proven,

Starting point is 00:15:11 is that in order to stay solvent, they are accepting large sums of money from Iran in return for nuclear technology and political favors, such as taking Israel to the International Court of Justice. This, of course, makes them a direct enemy of the United States. It is my opinion that the refugee status offered to Afrikaners is actually a political message to let the ANC government know the US are not effing around. Should the Afrikaners all leave, the economy will be completely destroyed, not because they own all the land, which is complete dis disinformation but rather because 30 years of terrible state education has left a large majority of the black population unemployable and completely unequipped to build an economy.

Starting point is 00:15:56 You'll remember the Afrikaners left Europe a long time ago because they are incredibly self-sufficient people who will not be walked over. It is also largely consensus in the country there is no white genocide happening. We have one of the highest murder rates as well as one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. This has caused a massive violent crime problem fueled by the resentment of massive inequality. The police force is completely unable to stop any crime due to large-scale state corruption as an example Our Air Force has only three working planes

Starting point is 00:16:31 Due to the complete failures of the state civil organizations like AFRI forum have had to step in and fill the gaps where the state Cannot provide to round this off Racism is always the go-to for both MSNBC and the ANC. It allows them to paint Afriform as the enemy and to justify absolutely insane laws which make it borderline illegal for me to have a job under the banner of transformation and equality. What we are watching is the end of an incredibly racist, corrupt, useless, and now bankrupt regime.

Starting point is 00:17:06 Our president even hides his US dollars in his couch. I feel very important to add one additional note after our very own Zelensky moment in the White House. Yes, our government is exactly that stupid. They honestly thought they were going to talk about trade and had no idea they were walking into such a lovely humiliation. The rest of us back home expected exactly this and are very chuffed. We already owe a debt of gratitude to this administration.

Starting point is 00:17:32 JB, white neo-Nazi adjacent South African. That sounds true to me. Remember how weird that was that they took Israel to the ICC? Yes. And in fact, I don't have a clip of this. I've got enough clips. I don't need this one. Of McGregor, the guy, Douglas McGregor, the Colonel, whatever.

Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah. That guy. Who's all over the place. Kind of the Scott Ritter type guy. He says that the only reason that Trump did all this is because South Africa went after Israel in the criminal court and he's doing it to punish them. Well, it's definitely part of it. Well, there's an element.

Starting point is 00:18:21 But the Iran thing is interesting, is that if they're taking money from Iran, then yeah, they are a huge problem. And that sounds completely believable. Yeah, it does. So thank you, Gitmo Nation producers. All right, what else you got here? So we have a bunch of clips. I have a series of South African clips.

Starting point is 00:18:42 There's the Trump versus South Africa, the NPR kind of an overview. We can play that. President Trump's face to face with his guests today. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa took a widely unexpected turn today in the Oval Office. And Pierce Danielle Kurtzleben explains. While the Oval Office meeting began cordially, it grew hostile when Trump repeated false, false, false, false, false

Starting point is 00:19:05 claims of white genocide. At one point, Trump paused the meeting to show the room a four and a half minute video promoting the idea that white South African farmers are being targeted. I must tell you, Mr. President, we have had a tremendous number of people, especially since they've seen this, generally they're white farmers and they're fleeing South Africa and it's a very sad thing to see. South African President Ramaphosa pushed back against Trump's claims, also stressing that he wanted to quote, reset the relationship between the United States and South Africa.

Starting point is 00:19:38 It wasn't the only topic that angered the president. Trump also repeatedly insulted a reporter from NBC when he asked the president about his administration's accepting a luxury airplane as a gift from Cotter. Danielle Kurtz-Slaven, NPR News. I have that clip. Can I play the clip? Yeah, the guy, what's his name? Peter Alexander. Peter Alexander, who's no slouch of a personality, he's been around forever. But I know a clip you're gonna play, but I don't know if you have the follow up clip where later later he says all out of the blue, Trump says, yeah, unlike this idiot over here from NBC, which is I don't I don't have that one.

Starting point is 00:20:17 Here's that. That was the funnier one. Here we go. Yes. Mr. President, the Pentagon announced it would be accepting a Atari jet to be used as Air Force One. What are you talking about? We need to explain. You know, you to get out of here. What does this have to do with the Qatari jet? They're giving the United States Air Force a jet, okay? And it's a great thing.

Starting point is 00:20:40 We're talking about a lot of other things. This NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw. You are a real, you know, you're a terrible reporter. Number one, you don't have what it takes to be a reporter. You're not smart enough. But for you to go into a subject about a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing, they also gave $5.1 trillion worth of investment in addition to the jet. Go back, you ought to go back to your studio at NBC because Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they ought to be investigated. They are so terrible the way you. Go ahead. Go ahead. Talk about that.

Starting point is 00:21:28 His name is Peter something. He's a terrible reporter. Quiet. Let's go. So, I don't have the clip, but at one point, President Trump said to the South African president, It would be nice to get a jet from you. And the guy goes, point, President Trump said to the South African president,

Starting point is 00:21:45 it would be nice to get a jet from you. And the guy goes, I don't have a jet to give. I'm sorry, it would have been nice, but I have a jet. This is an awesome show. So he calls out Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast. That had to send a shill down his spine. Well, if you take into account, where is it here, that this just happened. Tonight, CBS is waving SOS as President Trump takes on the news operation.

Starting point is 00:22:19 Its CEO, Wendy McMahon, says that she is stepping down as the network's parent company, Param Paramount considers settling a lawsuit with Trump over what he claims is a deceptively edited 60 minutes interview with Kamala Harris. McMahon's exit is fueling fear and speculation that a settlement is imminent. Something that senators are now warning amounts to bribery. They say in part, if Paramount officials make these concessions in a quid pro quo arrangement to influence President Trump or other administration officials they may be breaking the law.

Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. There you go. Holy. Yeah. That's good. Wow.

Starting point is 00:22:57 I didn't hear that. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. So there's an old TRT, the Turkish, did a 2019 report on the farmers getting killed. And I want to play a clip of this.

Starting point is 00:23:13 This clip is the SO African woman farmer. Got it. I can still at times hear their voices. I can see them. I can see David. They separated us and they fought with David until he had nothing left in him. He couldn't fight anymore and then he just shot him. Was David killed because he was white? The things that they said when I was with them, you being, the word white being thrown around quite a bit, the word black being thrown

Starting point is 00:23:47 around a bit. Yes, I think it was more because he was white. Yeah. Well, this is not a new thing. No, this is not new at all. No, it's not even close to being new. So here is the, this guy, Malima, is the real troublemaker down there. And he was in parliament for a while, and he runs the EFF.

Starting point is 00:24:12 And people should look him up. Julius Malema on Wikipedia, his story is unbelievable. Ex ANC guy, African National Congress. He looks like a guardian angel. He's always wearing a red hat and this whole group's always dressed in red. They're communists and they're avowed Marxists. And they're partly part of this system that's down there that they've established. And I've got a few clips from him.

Starting point is 00:24:43 I've got him from 2022 on the radio. I got him recent clip. This is a short kind of short clip. It's hard to understand him on this one, but he's talking about the farmers moving to the ones that have the Africanas that have come to the USA. This is Malema on the farmers coming to the USA. If he wants them to start treating him differently and is going to beg them to attend the G20,

Starting point is 00:25:06 he's going to have to compromise some of the fundamental policies of this country. Okay, stop, stop. I gotta set it up better. He is commenting on the president of South Africa being in the White House now and going there to do the deals and he's condemning him for doing it because you shouldn't leave the country at all and blah, blah, blah. And then he brings out this part,

Starting point is 00:25:30 it's some part of some discussion of the farmers. I'll start it over. If he wants them to start treating him differently and is going to beg them to attend the G 20, he's going to have to compromise some of the fundamental policies of this country which we're not prepared. If he does that, he must not come back, he must stay there with those 49 African he must also stay there because he can't compromise our sovereignty for political expediency. We've got positions on on on on

Starting point is 00:26:46 the one. That thing is Muvangwa. I don't know what is Muvangwa in Africa. It's just a drama. I believe they learned that and then they waited for cameras, took them pictures, the next flight back to South Africa. If those people are farmers, it means there are 49 farms available. Why are we not expropriating them? Because they've abandoned them. That's great. Hey, if they left, how can we haven't grabbed their stuff yet? Yeah. It kind of says it all. It kind of says it all. Yeah. Well, here he is on the radio being called out because of his racism. This is Malema 2022 on the radio. Now the way the sentence is structured, you say, we are not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now. two on the radio. going to happen. So you're saying you are not ruling out that in the future you may very well call for the slaughter of white people? It may not be me. Could it

Starting point is 00:27:49 be you? It could be me, yes, but it may not be me. Yeah, so it could be you. You could at some future date call for the slaughter of white people. What will necessitate that? You tell me. I don't know. Why would you, why would I do that? You said you could do it in the future Is that correct? I can't guarantee that I can't do it, but I won't do it So right now I'm not ruling out that possibility. If I asked you to pledge to say I will never call For the slaughter of white people, would you make that pledge? I will do it with ease. Make that pledge Why would I do that? I'm asking you to make that pledge. I will do it. I won't do't do it. Make the pledge. I won't do it. You won't do it? Yes. I understand. That's a bad look.

Starting point is 00:28:31 Wow. Wow. Well, here he is. Go back to 2019 and here is Malema making some other comments that are worth noting and it sounds like, oh well that oh that's what's going on and considering he's a Marxist and the and and the other clips that we played earlier indicate that this that the South Africans are just You know, it's selling what they can, you know taking what they can. It's like the socialist thing We're just keep you break everybody just okay. We're out of money now. Listen to this. I've never called for their slaughter. I've never called for their killing, at least for now. I can't guarantee the future. Yeah, but, I mean, you'd understand somebody watching that.

Starting point is 00:29:14 They freak out. It sounds like a genocidal call. Cry babies, cry babies. I'm not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now. I'm saying to you, not under my leadership will we call for the slaughter of white people, at least for now. I'm saying to you, not under my leadership will we call for the slaughter of white people. I don't know who's coming after me.

Starting point is 00:29:30 I will not speak. They are alarmists. They are crybabies. They are attention seekers. No one is going to slaughter them. The farm attacks is just an act of crime. It's not a genocide on white people who are concerned. Even in the farms there, black workers are killed.

Starting point is 00:29:54 Should we now be alarmist and say, there's genocide of black farm workers? No, it's a crime. Expropriation of land without compensation. Tell me what it means to you, because it means lots of things to lots of people. No no it means is very simple the state owns the land and then it gives it to you on a long lease in that way everyone else will have access to the land. Wow well there's your Marxism

Starting point is 00:30:22 socialism communism right there. The kicker right there was the state. Now all of a sudden, when did that happen? The state owns the land, which is a very communist thing. I remember when I went to the Soviet Union, around the time you did, I think, and I had borne that to one of the principals of the government and he made the point, and I think this is still in play in China, which is why they have so much trouble with intellectual property he says he told me he says well the way we see it intellectual property belongs to the people yeah and so yeah okay so we copied something but it's because

Starting point is 00:30:59 it's for the good of the people and that's the way they see it and that would mean the same thing with land ownership. So all of a sudden, South Africa has become, you don't, there's no property rights. You only get to borrow it. Now that's kind of the case in Hawaii to a large extent, too, for some reason. Well, this is the, this is the United States Democrat Party's dream. Yeah. No wonder the news media is, it's eminent domain.

Starting point is 00:31:25 We've got eminent domain. Yeah, but that you're supposed to get a fair deal. Eminent domain is different. Yeah, you're supposed to get money. You get money for it. Yeah, eminent, it's also eminent domain is different. Yes. There's compensation for eminent domain in South Africa too.

Starting point is 00:31:40 They make that point. Oh yeah, no, they get money for this and that. They don't get money for the confiscated farms. That's different than eminent domain. That's just a government owns everything. The government owns all the property. Well, I thought that was kind of interesting, but this could be just as EFF guy, this economic freedom fighter, Malema. But no, they, they're in the documentary that the Turks did.

Starting point is 00:32:02 I have one last clip and this is a clip from a guy from the ANC, the ruling party, being confronted by the journalist from Turkey in his house discussing the same thing, and he puts it in a different way, but it's pretty much the same deal. This is the South African ANC leader on property rights. The minority is now in position of the majority of the land, almost 85%. It is a threat to the social stability and the economic stability of the country. We've got a population in urban cities which needs a settlement.

Starting point is 00:32:37 To some people expropriation without compensation means stealing without giving you anything for stealing your stuff. So tell me why I'm wrong. No, you are wrong because I mean it is not stealing when it is done orderly, it is done by the constitution, it is done properly and you are given reasons why government must take the property. Throughout the world, government use expropriation powers for various purposes, for example, to build roads,

Starting point is 00:33:11 to build health facilities. There is an expropriation clause in the constitution of any country. Any country? No. Well, according to him. Ugh. But the basis for everything going on is largely

Starting point is 00:33:30 Confiscation they've decided that you don't know you don't own the property that you Have titled you will own nothing and you will be happy. Yes. It's exactly the same. It's exactly what it is Well, this is a good model to look towards and say, no, we probably don't want that. It's probably not a good idea. Basically, we don't want that. Don't want that. Don't want that. All right.

Starting point is 00:33:53 Well, we'll keep our eye on it. Thank you very much, President Trump for making African news great again. We're very, we're very pleased with that. Um, we have to talk about, uh, Biden, this book, of course, the news broke during the last show. But something else happened, which I know you have clips on, so I'm not sure exactly what's in there, but I'll just play the 27 seconds of the announcement by Scott Adams. Some of you have already guessed, so this won't surprise you at all. But I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.

Starting point is 00:34:29 So I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones. But I've had it longer than he's had it. Well, longer than he's admitted having it. So my life expectancy is maybe the summer. I'd expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer. Okay. So first of all, I'm like, wow, that's very shocking. And that's very sad. I have to be honest to you, John. My second thought was, is this another one of his hypno tricks that he's trying to prove a point? I hate that I thought that.

Starting point is 00:35:08 But I immediately thought he's... why now? Why is he saying this? What is the point? He always does strange things with announcements and then says, Oh, I got you all to think this or I got you all to think that. Did you have that thought at all or is that just me? No, because I didn't hear a sped up clip like the you just played. I've been listening to him live and he sounds like he's on his deathbed to be honest about it. I don't think that was sped up. I'm telling you it's not that it's not right.

Starting point is 00:35:39 Well, I didn't speed it up anyway. But he is, and I'm in contact with him, and he is, no, there's no way. I never thought that either. I thought that he might be kind of, he kind of hints something, the clips I have aren't about him, his announcements, but some hints he makes, which I thought were the most interesting thing because I suspect, now Scott, you know, had a back and forth with a lot of different people at the VAX. He was a pro-VAXer. Big time. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:36:17 Yeah. And he kind of is in somewhat denial about it, but I know exactly when it happened when he, when his- When he realized that he had made a mistake? No, no, I, I don't know if he ever realized he fully made a mistake, but I remember when he switched, when his brain was pushed in the direction of, of allowing himself to un, uh, what's,

Starting point is 00:36:41 I'm looking for a word to not be too, too naively take the vaccine because the government recommended it. It predates the vaccine by a lot from the early days of the COVID. I would watch his show and I always thought it was very odd that he came to a screwball conclusion. He liked to use a whiteboard. And on the whiteboard, he put about the origins of the, of the, of the virus. And this is right at the beginning.

Starting point is 00:37:12 And he says that there were, here's the possibilities. He says, it talks about the wet market bull crap. He says, there's a wet market in wet market there in Wuhan where it came from. And people are discussing the Wuhan virology lab that researches coronaviruses. And he puts them both up on the board and he says, you have to go with the simple answer. It's obviously the wet market. That's obviously the wet market. Wow. Yeah. And when he did that, that put his brain into a track that led to getting vaxxed. Because that was illogical.

Starting point is 00:37:58 In fact, Jon Stewart went on the Colbert show at least twice. I remember. I think we probably have that clip actually. Yeah, and he made just a big fuss about this, saying what are you guys thinking? There's a place that research is a lab that's known for its lousy security. It's right there, why aren't you calling this out?

Starting point is 00:38:21 Stewart was beside himself about why people aren't noticing the obvious, which continued till like a couple of years. It's only recently that he finally said, okay, okay, okay, it was the lab. I have a 40 second, 42 second clip. What do you mean by it? Do you mean like there's a chance

Starting point is 00:38:38 that this was created in a lab, there's an investigation? A chance? Well, if there's evidence, I'd love to hear it. There's a novel respiratory coronavirus A chance? Well, if there's evidence I'd love to hear, I just don't know. There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab.

Starting point is 00:38:57 The disease is the same name as the lab. That's just a little too weird weird don't you think? And then they asked those scientists they're like how did this so wait a minute you work at the Wuhan respiratory coronavirus lab how did this happen and they're like mmm a pangolin kiss the turtle. And Colbert was in the same kind of boat of Scott. Oh yeah. No, this can't be. Oh no, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, whatever evidence you have. Remember he had the dancing, the dancing hypodermic needles during COVID.

Starting point is 00:39:34 Yes, he did. Promoting the Vax. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot about the dancing hypodermic needles. So Scott had a couple of comments that I thought were, one was a teaser and then one was a tell. And it has to do with the possibility that this is not your typical prostate cancer because I knew Bill Ziff

Starting point is 00:39:56 had prostate cancer when I first met him. And he went, he must have had it for 20 years. And he finally succumbed to it have had it for 20 years. And he finally succumbed to it, but it took him forever. And it didn't seem to affect him. He didn't have the slurring or anything that's going on with Scott. And he, I don't know how he actually finally died when he died. But I thought that this was revealing and it may indicate there's something more going

Starting point is 00:40:28 on than just simple prostate cancer. This plays Scott Adams teaser. The doctors who have appeared on social media and on the TV, I don't think they're right either. Okay. So the doctors all came, all of a sudden we had a deluge, a deluge of, of doctors coming on saying, well, Biden had this forever. He probably had it in his entire presidency. And they went going on and on and they can, they got to the point where they

Starting point is 00:41:03 predated it pre-COVID vaccine. Cause we know Biden got a couple of shots. A couple. Four or five. Four or five. Could have been. I don't know. A lot, I think. But by saying that he probably had it when he got elected in 2020, got elected in 2020, you know, probably before that, because it takes forever to get to this point of bone effect, affecting the bones. It takes six, seven, eight, nine years. And Scott, which predates the shot, Scott teases that he thinks that the doctors aren't right. Why would he say that? Because I,

Starting point is 00:41:48 I, you can play some clips of Scott currently, and then you can play them from two years ago. And I don't think he had anything wrong with him two years ago. Uh, if you listen to him, he was just too, too spry to, too, uh, I mean, it's still funny. He's, they, I think he's one of the, I think Scott Adams, I told him this too. Did you talk to him recently? Is that?

Starting point is 00:42:09 I exchanged a couple of notes. I never told him this in person, but I believe him to be on the same league as Mark Twain and Will Rogers as a contemporary humorist. And he did appreciate that comment. But I believe it to be true. There's not that many people that come around that... Let me ask you this. Why would a guy like Scott Adams, who has a lot of...

Starting point is 00:42:38 He's always been, you know, always looking at medical stuff and always worried about his health. I mean, was there nothing to be done for him? that, you know, I was looking at medical stuff and always worried about his health. I mean, was there nothing to be done for him? Did he just give up? Did he, did he just say, okay, I'm going to live with this? I mean, that's, it seems so on Scott Adams. This is what tells me with that tease that this came on faster than imaginable. Like turbo fast?

Starting point is 00:43:05 Yes. Mm-hmm. So, listen to the tell, this is Scott Adams' tell. But the big question is how long does it take to go from a clean bill of health to stage four prostate cancer? So, I heard some one doctor say it would take seven to ten years or something like that. I don't think that's right. I think there's actually a tremendous variability of how long it takes to go from localized

Starting point is 00:43:32 and the prostate and your PSA spikes to, uh-oh, it is spread to your bones. He sounds like he's on Percocet actually. Something like that. That's why he's scary. Sounds like it's on Percocet actually. Something like that. That's why it's blurry. His description of the pain is like, he's had to be on morphine. Oh, morphine, yeah.

Starting point is 00:43:52 Oh man, I feel so bad. That sucks. Well, yeah, because he is a good observer. You get material from it, material ideas at least, and we don't steal from anybody. We had a fight with him. Now I feel bad about the fight. You should.

Starting point is 00:44:11 Don't do that to me. Don't, don't do that to me. I will pray for Scott. But I think, and I don't, you know, I'm not going to even discuss it with him, which is the Vax issue. That this came on. Most people you get prostate cancer the rule is is you know you can do about it Really you can have your prostate removed with that You know you can do that Yeah It doesn't make any difference

Starting point is 00:44:33 It turns out if you have it removed or not because it's such a slow moving process that by the time you're in your 80s You are gonna dive something else anyway. It's just the way it is. And for this to happen at this rapid pace, which Scott indicates as far as I can tell, because he has the tell and he has the foreboding. And then he says those doctors are full of shit about Biden. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:07 You don't say that from a perspective unless you know something. Well, I hope that he speaks his mind in his final days. It would be very good for humanity. Yeah, I think he will. I mean, he's still doing his show. I don't know how long he can continue doing it, but he can do it probably for a while. Gosh, in light of the Michael Yaden clips we played on the last show, it's just horrible. It's just horrible.

Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah, I think those clips are applicable. Yeah. But the idea of prostate... There was some commentary about the spike protein headed toward reproductive organs. Well, for sure. For sure. So there's some of that kind of thing. But if this is going to show up as a turbo prostate cancer, that's going to have some…

Starting point is 00:46:01 At some point they're going to have to say something. Somebody has to say something. No, no. Well, Scott may say something. Somebody has to say something. Well, Scott may say something. No, he won't. He won't. I don't believe he will. It's the plastics you're drinking. It's something. It's environmental. It's all kinds of... We don't know. We don't know! We can't think of a single thing that changed. That's what your medical community is saying.

Starting point is 00:46:23 Which is... Well, Ron Johnson just came out with a report about myocarditis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the report I did just, it just dropped in my inbox like, whoa. Yeah, the report just came out and he says, and this is, they have to change the recommendation for this vaccine. Yes, like no. Change the recommendation. Well, that's what they're discussing, right? There was a big brouhaha about it. It's like, well, it should only be for old people

Starting point is 00:46:54 who are on death's door. Yeah, you might as well push him over the cliff. Yeah, we'll see. But anyway, it's a depressing situation. That is depressing, yes. But to, it's a depressing situation. That is depressing. Yes. But to lighten it, you could ask him if he has anal leakage, he might get a kick out of it.

Starting point is 00:47:10 I'm not going to try to do material. I'm not going to try to do material. The dying man. Okay. I'm just thinking like, I want to cheer the guy up. I know it. There's some stuff I know he'd think is funny, but I'm not, I'm not an asshole anyway. I'm going to overdo it.

Starting point is 00:47:28 Well, I, I, I, I still pray for Scott Adams that things can turn around. Anything is possible. You know, he thinks it's not possible, but I think it is possible. I think it's possible. I really think it's possible. Just along the lines of COVID, our new NIH director, Jay Patachari, gave a speech in front of some staff, like I don't know, an auditorium full of staff.

Starting point is 00:47:52 And when he said this, people stood up and walked out of the auditorium. It's possible. There's a lot of controversy over this. I'm sure there's folks in the room who disagree with me. It's possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings. And it's also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research. And if that's true, it's nice to have free speech. Welcome you guys.

Starting point is 00:48:22 There they go, all walking out. Yeah, they're walking out to go to get to their lawyers office. If it's true that we sponsored research, if it's true that we sponsored research that caused the pandemic, and if you look at polls of the American people, that's what most people believe. And I've looked at the scientific evidence, I believe it. What we have to do is make sure that we do not engage in research that's any risk of opposing any risk to human populations. That's a very good standard. I do. Heaven forbid we do that. I have a couple of clips about the limitation of the COVID vaccine slash booster from the man who would know all about it.

Starting point is 00:49:10 Uh Fauci oh wait Boat Camp. How is the approval process changing and who will be affected the most? Well the first part Pam is not much of a change that because it reduces hospitalizations and deaths, the recommendation is to, um, uh, annually provide annual immunizations to, uh, those over the age of 65. Sure. That is Hotepp. And he, I didn't realize until I just, I mean, I recognize his voice, but I didn't realize he does sound a little bit like a, just a pubescent teen.

Starting point is 00:49:46 He sounds like a boy. Just without looking at him, he does not sound like a mature male. No. Well, he's definitely got something wrong with him. ... and deaths. The recommendation is to provide annual immunizations to those over the age of 65 and those with, or those with underlying risk factors. And in a guidance document they published

Starting point is 00:50:12 in the New England Journal of Medicine, they listed what those risk factors are. So no problem there. The part that I disagree with is they've stopped recommending universal vaccinations for those individuals under the age of 65. And the reason I think that's a mistake is because they're not really considering the impact of long COVID.

Starting point is 00:50:33 There's now evidence to suggest that if you vaccinate, keep up with your immunization. What is evidence to suggest? Is that evidence, if there's evidence to suggest? It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean there's evidence. He said there's some stuff to suggest but it's not evidence that suggests. They're not really considering the impact of long COVID. There's now evidence to suggest that if you vaccinate,

Starting point is 00:50:55 keep up with your immunizations, you're much less likely to experience long COVID. And I think there's a lot of people concerned about long COVID and potentially they're not eligible. I think another reason is there is some impact on reducing virus transmission if you're vaccinated. So I'm starting to get emails and direct messages on blue sky and X from people in their forties and fifties who are taking care of aging parents and they're worried about giving COVID to their parents. So I think that's another reason to vaccinate. So I think, you know, this, in my view, this should be a decision made between individuals and their physicians. If you're under the age of 65 and basically the federal government is,

Starting point is 00:51:36 is taking that decision away, away from us. And, and, and I, and I'm puzzled by that given the fact that this administration, at least the department of Health and Human Services, keeps on beating the drum about health freedom, medical freedom. This seems to be the opposite of that. Yeah, because they won't pay for it. You can take the Vax if you want. You should have seen the FDA page or I don't know if it was the FDA page about this new recommendation.

Starting point is 00:52:04 I don't think it was a a for Bowton thing. No, it wasn't. That's not he's full of shit. That guy there were five thousand five thousand comments of people saying like that, but I want it. I want it. What if I want it? I want it.

Starting point is 00:52:18 I want it. I want it. It's like wow. Okay. Yeah. Well, there are people that want it and they can do what they want. Well, here's his follow-up. It's interesting, doctor, that this change brings the US approval process in line with other countries like the UK, Canada, and Australia.

Starting point is 00:52:39 The FDA hopes this change might help restore public confidence in vaccine safety. Does this change help achieve that goal? You know, I don't think so. I think what's what undermines public confidence in vaccine safety is all of the anti-vaccine activism and rhetoric that you're hearing on other cable news channels and some of the conspiracy podcasts. Yeah, we got to mention, conspiracy podcasts. That's what's going to help restore vaccine confidence. If anything, I...

Starting point is 00:53:13 Get rid of those. What did he say? What's going to restore vaccine confidence? Getting rid of those conspiracy podcasts? Yeah, that'll do it. Let me go back it up a second. What do you say here? That you're hearing on other cable news channels and some of the conspiracy podcasts. And that's what's going to help restore vaccine confidence. I want to hear what you say. In other words, get rid of the skeptics. Let me hear it again. I don't think so. I think what's what undermines public confidence in vaccine safety is all of the anti vaccine activism and in rhetoric that you're hearing on other cable news channels and some of the conspiracy podcasts.

Starting point is 00:53:56 And that's that's what's going to help restore vaccine confidence of anything. That's very interesting. He says the confidence is, well, so the questions about the confidence is, well, I think it's because of the rhetoric, anti-vaccine rhetoric and the conspiracy podcast, that's going to restore confidence. What he left out was we're going after him? It's like he forgot to say something in there. You know what I mean? No, I don't know what you mean. I've listened to that.

Starting point is 00:54:29 Let's listen to the clip again. It's interesting, doctor, that this change brings the US approval process in line with other countries like the UK, Canada, and Australia. The FDA hopes this change might help restore public confidence in vaccine safety. Does this change help achieve that goal? Okay. Does this change help achieve that goal? You know, I don't think so.

Starting point is 00:54:53 I think what undermines public confidence in vaccine safety is all of the anti-vaccine activism and rhetoric that you're hearing on other cable news channels and some of the conspiracy podcasts. Okay, no, here's what he said. They said, you think that these new policies will change the anti-vaccine, the public perception? And he says, no, that won't because the real problem is other networks, Fox and OAN and these other fringe channels and the anti-vaxxers on these conspiracy podcasts. That's what the problem is, is what he said. Okay, let's just listen to the last 16 seconds and then we'll decide after that. Does this change help achieve that goal? You know, I don't think so. I think what's what undermines public confidence in vaccine safety is

Starting point is 00:55:53 all of the anti-vaccine activism and rhetoric that you're hearing on other cable news channels and some of the conspiracy podcasts. And that's that's what's going to help restore vaccine confidence. If anything, I think this now kind of takes decisions away from individuals making health decisions in collaboration with their physician. It takes away that option. And I don't think that's the way we should go in the United States.

Starting point is 00:56:19 I know, it sounded strange to me. Oh, I know exactly what you're thinking now because he, he, you're right. You're right. What? He said, what? You're dead right. I didn't hear you. He said, uh, he talked about the podcast and he says, that's what will restore. Yes. And what he left out was getting rid of this disinformation is what will restore... No, no, he didn't say getting rid of disinformation.

Starting point is 00:56:47 No, that's what he didn't say. That's what you were missing. Yes. He meant to say that. Yes, what he meant to say is getting rid of podcasts. Podcasts! It's podcasts! He's against the podcast. Yes, he left that out. But that's what he meant. Anyway, final bit here. He was thinking it, but he didn't say it.

Starting point is 00:57:06 Here's this is the final clip where he introduces a term that is worth discussing. In making this decision, FDA officials said there is not enough evidence that healthy children and adults get clinically meaningful benefits from regular COVID-19 shots. They want to see more placebo controlled trials, particularly in adults 50 to 64 before recommending the shots for other groups. So what's wrong with that? Well, there's a couple of things. One, they only consider the acute manifestations of COVID in terms of case fatality rates and hospitalizations.

Starting point is 00:57:39 And while that's certainly important, they're not factoring in the chronic sequelae such as long COVID, such as... Chronic sequelae in the chronic sequelae, such as long COVID, such as chronic sequelae, chronic sequelae. And then, and now all of a sudden long COVID is a thing. Sequelae is a condition resulting from a disease, injury, therapy or other trauma. A typical sequela is a chronic complication of an acute condition, a long-term effect of a temporary disease or injury. So now long COVID is a sequela. It's certainly important they're not factoring in the chronic sequelae such as long COVID,

Starting point is 00:58:18 such as downstream heart disease. Remember, this is a thromboembolic virus, a virus that causes strokes and heart attacks. They're not looking at the chronic implications of COVID. And I think that's a mistake. And then the other is the idea that they'll allow universal vaccination provided the pharma companies now conduct a brand new round of clinical trials for each updated variant. It's not realistic because it can take months and months to do the enrollment. The expense of doing a trial to, especially now when everyone's been either previously

Starting point is 00:58:53 infected or infected and vaccinated or vaccinated and infected, it would be a massive, massive study that would be prohibitively expensive. It basically means the problem with companies are probably not likely to pursue that. So it's really a way of denying vaccine access for those who want it. And it goes against what Mr. Kennedy recently said. He made the point of saying he'll never deny any American access to any vaccine. And clearly that's not the case. He's changed his mind apparently.

Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah, my doctor has told me get the COVID booster shot. You might still wind up getting COVID, but it'll be a much milder case than if you hadn't gotten the COVID booster shot. Dr. Peter Hotez, thanks as usual for joining us. We always appreciate your expertise. Yeah. So, Brolf got a phone.

Starting point is 00:59:38 Thank you, Brolf. Good one. You helped us. Thank you very much. Thanks for saying that. Thanks for promoting it at the end of that confusing conversation. We appreciate that. So back to President Biden.

Starting point is 00:59:50 Now my first thought there was they're finally going to kill him if he's not dead already. And all of a sudden, yes. You know, it's the meme that does one of the memes in the newsletter kind of have that in mind. Morbidity. But the, I think that, yeah, that's what I was thinking. You're going to do one. The guys, the guys decided to go back out on the speaking tours and they don't want that.

Starting point is 01:00:19 Nobody wants that. He doesn't listen to anyone. So they're going to kill him. You know, so now we have this expose. Wait, before we get to the expose, a little reminder, a little mini cut of the M5M calling President Biden's stuttering and unintelligible language cheap fakes. Do we remember this period of time? Oh yeah, who can forget?

Starting point is 01:00:42 It's cheap fakes everybody. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever. If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it. Look, I'll do what he's unable to do. I'll lead an effective strategy to mobilize, shoot international pressure, isolate and punish China. Thanks to all the members of Congress and Homeland Security Secretary. I'm not sure you're gonna do show all the way. We're hearing about so called cheap fakes. It's playing out on right wing media, Fox, New York Post and so on. And all of this is to try to make the case that Biden is slipping, he's confused and

Starting point is 01:01:24 so on. If he knows so long as everything is denied, our freedom can never be secured. Oh, man. We'll teach Donald Trump a valuable lesson. Don't mess with the men in America unless you want to get the benefit. There are a lot of videos going around about President Biden on social media. Which ones are real? Which ones are deceptively edited, now being called cheap fakes.

Starting point is 01:01:46 A lot of memes and what the White House is calling cheap fakes. Cheap fakes are a little bit simpler. They're cheap. They're just distorted, out of context videos, chopped up in certain ways, constructed in certain ways. That's what we're seeing. That's what the Biden administration, the Biden campaign is so worried about right now. How do you lead the world without having the best infrastructure? How do you lead the world without having the best infrastructure?

Starting point is 01:02:06 How do you lead the world without having the best healthcare in the world? How do you lead the world without having the best education system? How do you lead the world when you don't have that done? We all choose to be self-evident. All men and women created by the, go, you know the thing. Oh man. Of course, we knew what was going on. We talked about it.

Starting point is 01:02:29 Now, so Jake Tapper and this Alex Thompson from Axios, they wrote a book, which to me, I mean, and this even comes up in some of the CBS stuff, seem like, wow, okay. So you get away with covering up and then you get to write a book and get to say, Oh no, we did some investigative journalism. But no one has answered yet. And no one has asked what was up with daddy long legs. Don't pussy foot around. Who was that guy?

Starting point is 01:02:59 Who was that guy? Is he dead? Did you kill him? Because obviously you can't have a perfectly good Biden walking around with legs that are too long. So that question never came up. However, I have decided that we need to cover more of the podcast media because it is media that people are listening to.

Starting point is 01:03:19 One of the most popular would be- I feel the same way and I have some clips later in the show that has nothing to do with this, but the same thing. You got to go to the podcast. Got to go to the podcast and the job for the No Agenda producers is of course to send us podcasts with time codes. Yes, and it's important that we get this from the outside because there's too damn many podcasts. I know, it's crazy. There's over 4.4 million podcasts that I know of that you've, cause you keep track of the number and I always grill you about it.

Starting point is 01:03:54 Well, I, I, let me give you the, uh, the current number because the number that counts is the number of active podcasts in the last 90 days. And which means they have updated with an episode in the last 90 days, which means they have updated with an episode in the last 90 days. That number is 488,484 as of today. Still too many. It's too many podcasts.

Starting point is 01:04:15 That is, that is like- There's a lot of podcasts. Yeah. That's global now. That's global. So- That's more than one out of every thousand people you run into. Someone's doing a podcast. One of the podcasters.

Starting point is 01:04:29 That's a horrible statistic. So you need to help us with time codes. We both listen to podcasts, but it's impossible to listen to everything. However, Meg and Kelly... And they're also lengthy. Well, but that's the beauty of the podcast, man. No, that's the great part about a podcast. If you're a customer of the podcast, you like listening to somebody yak away for a while. But in terms of us collecting clips,

Starting point is 01:04:55 it makes it very difficult. Said the man who does a three and a half hour podcast twice a week. So, please help us with that. It is very important. And Megan Kelly, absolutely one of the top podcasters, she just started a new feature, which is the AM update. I really appreciate what she's doing here. It's about 15 to 18 minutes long. This is something I can listen to on a daily basis? Most of us like, okay. But she had Tapper and Thompson on and her interview was a lot better than anything else. So, yes. I just wanted to say, I watched this too. The guy Tapper took all the flack.

Starting point is 01:05:43 This other guy was, he must have been just wiping his brow on and off because she never grilled him. Well, she, you know, she didn't grill him. She only asked him a question. I think the deal here, this guy had a, he had a book deal to do a book about Biden before the election. So I think he's the, he's the deal guy. He really has the book and Tapper is there to be the lightning rod. The lightning rod. He's supposed to take all the heat and he deserves it. He deserves it.

Starting point is 01:06:14 It could only ever work if you allowed it, if the press allowed it. Some of us tried not to and some of us were complicit. The Biden White House did not like me. Okay. This is, I do not have great connections with the Biden White House. It says the guy who was at the birthday party of the deputy CIA director hanging out hobnobbing with everybody. Okay. Well, clearly you have a lot of sources.

Starting point is 01:06:37 You say you talked to over 200 sources for this book. This was after the election. You have some that could have called and worked. That's the point is that they were not being honest. That's the point. Well, how did the Wall Street Journal get it in June of 2024? And Jake Tapper and CNN couldn't find sources for this story then before he dropped out? Annie Linsky and Siobhan Hughes did an amazing job in their reporting.

Starting point is 01:07:01 They didn't get the book deal though, nana, nana. And they should be heralded and I heralded them I had them on my Show right after the debate to talk about the great reporting But any was the debate but you did not put them on when they published that story which was before the debate correct if we're gonna Do this Let's just stick to the facts here, okay? If we're gonna do if we're gonna do this let's just stick to the facts, okay, Megan? Which was before the debate.

Starting point is 01:07:28 Correct. If we're going to do this, let's just stick to the facts here, okay? When there is a damaging report of- Jake, that's what I've been doing all along. I'm talking about what you just said. One of us didn't miss the biggest story of the century when it comes to presidential politics, and one of us did. All right. Then we get into a very interesting angle where instead of saying the podcasts were

Starting point is 01:07:51 right. Oh no, it was conservative media. And Alex and I are here to say that conservative media was right and conservative media was correct and that there should be a lot of soul-searching not just among me but among the legacy media to begin with. Soul-searching? John, you and I should do some soul-searching of our own. Why are we doing this podcast? I've always believed that.

Starting point is 01:08:21 But among the legacy media to begin with. Legacy media. That's you. It's yourself. Begin with all of us for how this was covered or not covered sufficiently. 100%. Oh, whenever someone says 100% from now on, that means you might as well say bull crap. You know what I mean? It's almost like my bad. That's another one. Boy, when they say my bad or we bad or our bad, it's just sickening.

Starting point is 01:08:50 That's on me. And by the way, check the calendar on that one, people. That's on me. That's another one. That's on me. That's on me. That's another one. Yeah, that's on me.

Starting point is 01:09:00 For how this was covered or not covered sufficiently. 100%. So, I mean, I'm not here to defend coverage that I've already acknowledged. I wish I could do differently. No, you don't. But then this was the eye-opener to me, is that this is what actually happened during that fateful debate when he, and I think Dana Bash were hosting it.

Starting point is 01:09:24 This is something like, if you're doing this during a debate and you make this conclusion, you should have been on the air the next hour talking about it. So we have iPads because you can't communicate obviously talking to your control room during a debate. We have iPads. I wrote, Holy smokes. Now what I was thinking was thinking was holy fuck Dana writes to me on a piece of paper He just lost the election

Starting point is 01:09:51 And it was just I mean it is I don't think this is hyperbole at all The worst debate in the history of presidential debates going back to 1960 I just can't think of anything even remotely close to it. Who cares about your stats about 1960? And then you saw him immediately after you write in the book and he seemed like unaware that something... Oblivious. Oblivious. Did I just see that? Was that... did I just witness this 90 minute event? Yeah. Yeah, so okay. So he's full of crap. But then she does the one question here from Alex Thompson,

Starting point is 01:10:27 a lot of names we'd already guessed because we surmise as well. Someone else is running the show. It's not President Biden. The people that we're naming, it would be Mike Donilon, Steve Reschetti. Mike Donilon is his top political advisor. Steve Reschetti is his top legislative advisor. Ron Klain, when he was chief of staff, Bruce Reed, his basically longtime policy advisor. You can, those are sort of the four, they were known as a Politburo, Gray Hairs, Poo-Bahs, and they were with him the most of anybody. Now, if you were to ask them, and I still think even if you put them on truth serum today, they would say he was fine. Then there's this other sort of group that aren't the Politburo but are just as powerful and they were the ones that kept the schedule

Starting point is 01:11:12 Affected personnel and really built the bubble and that would be any Thomasini who is deputy chief of staff and previously Oval office operations and then Anthony Bernal who was the top aid enforcer for first lady Jill Biden and had incredible influence to the point that even people in the Biden White House would refer to her as one of those powerful first ladies in history. Oh, I have a couple of clips that follow this now because he left one person out. Mm hmm. to follow this now because he left one person out. Which will be in the clips. Yeah, which clip is it, John? These are the Lindy Lee clips.

Starting point is 01:11:53 Oh, Lindy Lee, oh, Lindy Lee. Yeah, this is the, she was a fundraiser big time and she's always in the White House and she's spending a lot of time. She's all over the place. She's been on every podcast about Kamala Harris and the money and all this because she was a fundraiser and she's mad, hopping mad. She basically is hopping mad. Yes, you're right. She'll desperately. So basically she's turned on Biden. She is prof- No, what she has done, she is profiling herself.

Starting point is 01:12:27 She is not a whistleblower. She is not a turncoat. She is profiling herself. For whatever reason, she is hyping up Lindy Lee. I'm not sure what she's up to, but her information is quite entertaining. Let's put it that way. Here we go. Jill desperately wanted him to stay. And please bear in mind that during this time Biden had COVID

Starting point is 01:12:49 and Hunter was basically sitting in on White House meetings, high-level meetings that require security clearances. This guy is a, honestly, I'm not even entirely sure if he's a recovering drug addict. And it's undeniable that he peddled his influence to enrich himself and the big guy, quote unquote. So this is a guy sitting in the Oval Office listening in on top level White House meetings throughout this time, throughout the month of July. And I know because my friends are senior aides, like Steve Ruschetti and Nina Dunn. So Biden was incapacitated this entire time because he was really sick. And remember that a few days before Trump suffered the assassination attempt.

Starting point is 01:13:30 So people were freaking out. They rightly thought that the election was over. How do you beat a guy like that? And the way that he handled that with such self-possession, I would have been freaking out. I would have been hysterical. No, no, it was incredible watching him, that moment of composure and everything else. self-possession, I would have been freaking out. I would have been hysterical. No, no, it was incredible watching him,

Starting point is 01:13:47 that moment of composure and everything else. Right. I mentioned that because Democrats were in complete disarray would be putting it mildly. And this is the thing that people don't understand, or they don't even know, and it hasn't been reported. There was no money coming in, other than the monthly recurring Act Blue donations that they trick you into giving, obviously. But this is not

Starting point is 01:14:08 an exaggeration. There was no money coming in after the debate. Like I mean zero. What podcast is this from? Okay, this is Dave Rubin. Oh, okay, Dave Rubin. And you wouldn't know because the way this was edited by me. You edited out Dave Rubin because he's a little long-winded and annoying. He's not only long-winded. You don't realize until you have to sit there and edit him and you think to

Starting point is 01:14:34 yourself, I could be doing 10 clips instead of this one. Which means podcasts could be 10% the length of what they really are. He asked, he'll he'll ask a question three or four different ways before he lets the other person talk. He did not go to the school of podcasting by Dave Jackson. He yak, yak, yak, and yaks and then doubles down and kind of reiterates and does it again and again and again. I cut all of it out and including the back, there was a number of back and forths in that clip.

Starting point is 01:15:07 Megyn Kelly does that too, by the way. She has a bit of that too. Yes, I've tried to clip her up too. She also is too talkative. So these clips are tight compared to, I mean, if it even doesn't seem tight. Maybe we have to just do an interview show, John. Maybe that's just where we have to go, show these kids how it's done, son. No, maybe not. That sounds like a pain in the butt. Maybe not.

Starting point is 01:15:30 Let's go with, no, I think what we've got is the best formula for a show is we move along. Here we go. Jaffers, who I would just be like shooting the shit with on the sofa because they had nothing to do. And we would just be commiserating because everybody lost faith. So Biden kind of markets his decision as an act of patriotism.

Starting point is 01:15:48 It wasn't. There was no money coming in. So there was no way he would have continued. There's just no way. But putting the money part aside, do you have any insider info as to what the day or two before he stepped down was like? Yeah. And I want to say I first hinted at this on the Sean Ryan show.

Starting point is 01:16:06 And then suddenly that new book that's coming out fight, I hate mentioning it. I want to give them free advertising, but they were repeating something that I already said two months ago, like it's some new Intel. The role of Congressman James Clyburn has been seriously underestimated in the public sphere. He played such a huge role in so many instances of Biden's recent life, starting with his 2020 campaign. If it hadn't been James Clyburn, there would have been no Biden presidency.

Starting point is 01:16:34 I want to be extremely clear about that because he came in fifth in New Hampshire. He was done. And he bombed in Iowa too. Do you remember this? James Clyburn saved his butt by endorsing him and allowing him to win the South Carolina primary. If it hadn't been his intervention, Biden would have been done. And that was a point at which Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and everyone, federal work

Starting point is 01:16:55 or rally around him. That was Clyburn. Clyburn is also the person that made him appoint Kintanji Brown Jackson. The woman who can't say who a woman is, yeah. Yeah. Right. Hired because she, or nominated because she was a woman, just doesn't know what a woman is.

Starting point is 01:17:12 Exactly. And let's just be very clear. All these people are DEI candidates. Oh, I forgot to mention that Kamala Harris is picked, also largely because of James Clyburn. Hmm. Yeah, that little kid got that. That's interesting. Yeah, that is good.

Starting point is 01:17:29 Because we had other thoughts on that. But she does say in another part of this interview that the three people that ran the show were Anita Dunn was number one. Interesting. Which was not mentioned on that other clip that you had. No. No. Anita Dunn, who's just a horrible looking person, Anita Dunn, Reschetti and Donalyn, who is brother of the CEO of BlackRock.

Starting point is 01:17:53 Anita Dunn looks like, what's that? Admiral? Who's the Admiral? Just like Rachel Levine. Rachel Levine. She does look like Rachel Levine. Wow. So, Donnalyn, who's the other guy,

Starting point is 01:18:09 who is the brother of the guy who runs BlackRock, is largely responsible for passing BlackRock to the one who pushed the DEI agenda on the corporate world. Which reminds me of my recent experience with the Lexus dealer. I'll complain about that on another show. Very disappointed in how Lexus is turned into. Well, I want to stick a pin in that one because I'm interested in hearing that

Starting point is 01:18:36 comrade, that little story. But those are the three she claims are really the ones who ran the show. And here's the last clip. Biden's original intention was to not endorse Kamala that day at all. And he would just roll it out at his own leisurely pace. He wanted this stage to himself to basically make a victory lap and, you know, luxuriate in all the love and admiration that he thought he deserved. But James Clyburn insisted, actually, he wanted Biden to endorse him in the first tweet.

Starting point is 01:19:06 There were two tweets at separated by half an hour. But the fact that Biden endorsed her so quickly afterwards was because of James. And he kind of flies under the radar. But Clyburn is at every major fundraiser. I always see him at VIP events. He has his youngest looking wife, I forget her name, and the two of them would just be there, like meandering the crowd. They're always there. I hosted Biden Harris here in Philadelphia, in

Starting point is 01:19:34 February 2023. Clyburn is there. I raised half a million for them in September, right after the debate in DC and Clyburn is there. He's there everywhere just exerting her quiet influence. And I'm just, I'm genuinely shocked that the public hasn't caught on. Wow. She's, she's vying for a gig somewhere else. That's for sure. How many bridges can you burn?

Starting point is 01:20:01 Yeah, I know she's plugging herself and her ability. Burning the bridges. So, Dunn is married to Robert Bauer, former partner at Perkins Coie, and former personal counsel to President Obama and the White House counsel. They are the power couple of Washington DC. Well, that makes sense. With a face like that, you better have some power. Sorry to say it.

Starting point is 01:20:24 I hate being superficial. Yeah, I hate when you do that. But I would never say that. I would never comment on somebody's homely looks. No, no, no. Well, I think that for a moment here, we should just take a little breather and we should listen to what the ladies from The View had to say about this book, Original Sin. At the tone, a clip from the view will be played.

Starting point is 01:20:46 Shelter in place. ****. Shin anonymous sources who talked to Tapper have spoken up about their concerns while he was in office, while he was still in office. And my other question is, why is this important to know now? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:21:00 Well, that's what's comfortable. Why? Why? Because to me, you know, we got a lot of stuff to be concerned about at the moment. So I list them? Yes, please. Okay. Here's the Trump atrocities. I'm going to list them for you.

Starting point is 01:21:15 Cutting Medicaid. Yeah. Well, this is what we're concerned about now. Oh, I got you. Okay. Cutting Medicaid, slashing funding for cancer research, rising prices because of tariffs, dismantling USAID, which helps children and people who are poor around the world, fears of recession, destroying due process, ending birthright citizenship, dismantling the Department of Education, rolling

Starting point is 01:21:37 back regulations on air and water flowers, destroying our relationships with allies like Canada and the UK UK and targeting his political opponents. Preach. And not only that, but he also said that Joe Biden has stage nine cancer. Oh, really? Where did he come up with that? When is Jake Tapper going to write a book about the cognitive decline of the person who is in charge right now? Preach, girl. Preach, girl. Preach. Yeah, he needs to write a book about that. Meanwhile, and I'll get back to Tapper in a moment, President Trump spoke at the Kennedy dinner last night. Well, it was last night, the night before last night.

Starting point is 01:22:14 And I don't, did you see any video of this? No, I saw none of it. He had a lectern, more like a stand for his speech notes, and like a golden eagle is holding up the speech. But it's not just a golden eagle. It looks like a golden eagle, it's made of gold, clearly. It has a head like a cartoon. Well, plated, like not made of gold.

Starting point is 01:22:36 It has a head like one of those cartoon eagles, like Captain America cartoon eagles. Oh, that's funny. It's very leader uh, leaderistic. Let me put it that way. And he says, Hey, whatever you say, you know, we were numb nuts before I came along. As they said, the king of Saudi Arabia said your place, your country is a whole different image now.

Starting point is 01:22:59 We were a laughing stock, a laugh, an absolute laughing stock, but we're not a laughing stock any longer. I was talking to, as I said, President Putin for two and a half hours that was being very seriously listened to. We don't like what's happening. We don't like that we should have ever been involved. It would have never happened. But we're respected again as a country. You know, one thing that I tell you that I think is amazing, if you remember about eight months ago, the big story was that nobody wants to join our military. We couldn't have any people weren't joining. And they weren't proud of our country. They weren't joining police forces all over the

Starting point is 01:23:41 country, Houston, Dallas, all over the country, New York. And now we have record-setting enlistment in the military. Think of that record-setting. The most in 38 years, but it's probably more than that. They started taking the numbers, Suzy, 38 years ago, right? But the most in 30 years, probably the most ever, I don't know. But we have record-setting young people that want to join the military. And that's incredible to have that is just absolutely incredible.

Starting point is 01:24:13 And to think that eight months ago, we were all listening to the fact that this was before the election eight months ago, we were listening to the fact that we wouldn't have any, you know, we wouldn't have anybody in our, I mean, nobody. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, I'm so proud of Space Force, we got that going. We started Space Force and they wanted to terminate it and the military backed up and they said, you're not going to do that. We were third in space and now we're number one

Starting point is 01:24:37 in space by a lot. They've done a great job. They had some great commanders in Space Force but ultimately it's going to be one of the most important things we've ever done because it's all Heading to space and I'm not talking about just Experimental things that we do understand that we can understand that but we're in terms of defense and offense of our country Yeah, we're number one Want to play a few of these CBS this morning with CBS, Gail and the gang, with

Starting point is 01:25:09 Tapper and Thompson. Tapper and Thompson. You don't need the intro. Okay, so they are blaming all of this on the administration, on the aides, on the White House, who was running the White House. It's all their fault. Did you guys think the aides were being deceitful, or did you think that they really believed

Starting point is 01:25:28 that he was going to be okay, Alex, and he would be able to do the job? I think some of the early steps were done with innocent enough reasons. You want your principal to look good. But as his diminishment increased, some of those actions became increasingly deceitful, because the fact is that the Biden

Starting point is 01:25:43 that we saw on the debate stage last June, he had other moments like that behind the scenes and increasingly so. And they started structuring his schedule, his public schedule to make sure that the public didn't see it. And even some people inside their own administration, their own White House, their own cabinet did not see this. Yeah, no one saw it. No one saw it.

Starting point is 01:26:04 Remember how, how deceitful they were with the sharpest attack? What sharpest attack he sharpest attack sharpest attack. Yes. Yeah, he runs circles around you. Sharpest attack everybody sharpest attack. Speaking of circles. As we all know, there's a difference between the outer rung and then your inner circle. Yeah. And when it comes to proximity the former first lady Joe Biden is the closest to him Yeah, do you believe that she was?

Starting point is 01:26:34 Complicit in this cover-up. I think the main people complicit in hiding the non-functioning Biden were President Biden first lady Biden hunter First Lady Biden, Hunter Biden, and then his immediate circle of aides that other people in the White House called the Pollock Bureau, Mike Donilon, Steve Roschetti, and some others. They were the ones who... Afraid, afraid to mention Anita Dunn, pussy. He's afraid. He's afraid. He knows. You know, I better not mention Dunn. Donilon and Roschetti are being roasted for this. Mike Donilon and Roschetti are being roasted for this. Yeah. Donilon and Reschetti are getting the brunt of it.

Starting point is 01:27:07 Yeah. I agree. Steve Reschetti and some others, they were the ones who saw President Biden every day up close and personal and whether they were lying to themselves and everybody else or just everybody else. And that is a big question. And I agree. It's a big question. Right, I agree. Well, yeah, it's a big question.

Starting point is 01:27:27 There was no cover-up. So one of those aides, Rashadi, referred us to the Biden team statement, which is there's nothing in this book that shows Joe Biden failed to do his job, nor did they prove their allegation that there was a cover-up or conspiracy. Nowhere do they show that our national security

Starting point is 01:27:43 was threatened or President Biden wasn't otherwise engaged in the important matters read the book. If he's not meeting with cabinet members, if they don't have direct access to him, if he sometimes lights out at 5.15 or dinner at 4.30, as you reported even during the administration, I do genuinely wonder if something had occurred of national concern, who was making the decisions at that point? Well, I'll just say, we didn't make this up. The fact is that people are not going to be able to make the decisions. We're going to who was making the decisions at that point?

Starting point is 01:28:06 Well, I'll just say, you know, we didn't make this up. The fact is that people inside the administration told us this, that they did not. We had multiple cabinet members that said if there had been a crisis, especially in 2024, late in the middle of the night, they did not have confidence that Joe Biden would necessarily be up to that task. And as a result, you sort of have the institutional aspects of the presidency that would have probably, you know, tried to take hold. So, I mean, you mentioned the other day that the 25th Amendment is no good.

Starting point is 01:28:36 Should people like this who were very aware of it, shouldn't they be held? I mean, can you just call them traitors? Can they be held accountable to any standard for not disclosing what was really going on? I think you can call them what you want, but there's nothing you can do about it. I think it's a, you know, they can publicly humiliate them as far as it's gonna get.

Starting point is 01:28:58 Because the rest of it, you could say, make the comment. In fact, I would use that as a defense. Hey, there was the 25th amendment that we could have done and then we didn't do it. So we could have gotten rid of it. We thought it was that bad. So we were pretty sincere. And if it was that bad, Congress could have done it.

Starting point is 01:29:15 Because the 25th amendment also allows Congress to bypass the way it's supposed to be done. The first round is the vice president goes to the board of directors, which is basically your... The administration, the secretaries. It goes to the departments, the various... The departments, the secretaries. The secretaries, the secretaries, state secretaries.

Starting point is 01:29:39 Hey, hey, hey, hey, this guy's toast. Hey, we got to get rid of this guy. And then they all go, okay, and they kick him out. It's this 25th Amendment. But if they, but the Vice President doesn't do that, the Congress, the House of Representatives can do it in some way or other, but they still have to get, I think they still have to get the secretaries to agree. I'm not sure.

Starting point is 01:29:58 I had to look it over again. But the point is, is that I think you can use that as a defense. So this is, I think this is season of reveal for the American public if they care to pay attention. Because that's exactly it. It's like there's no accountability. Now we know who was running the show. We were lied to as the American public.

Starting point is 01:30:22 The news media did not do their job, no matter how Tapper jumps around. No, the news media is the number one responsible force here. Absolutely. They're screwed up. The people do not trust these guys anymore. They listen to podcasts. Yes. Their news. Yes.

Starting point is 01:30:36 You have enough people that tell us, oh, you know, I don't even listen to this. This is a podcast. Yeah. Why is that? Because of our dark soothing voices I'm convinced We can talk that's right everybody So, of course it would not be CBS if we didn't somehow turn this around and make it about Trump So you mentioned president Trump, you know after writing a book like this

Starting point is 01:31:00 Yeah, I would assume it gives you a keen eye when it comes to the cognitive and physical declination of Now all of a sudden I got a keen eye now I know what to look for, you know, like the guy who's a foot taller running towards the helicopter. Go leaders. And you guys are well sourced as Gail mentioned. What are you hearing? What are you hearing when it comes to our current president? Is he losing his mind? Is he out of control? What do you know Jake? You're the expert. Trump. I don't think we don't see any effort, any evidence

Starting point is 01:31:30 of any sort of deterioration cognitively. I think the questions about Trump that have always been raised have to do with his personality, which is something that is very out and in the open to the voters. But to pick up on Alex's point, whether you're talking about President Biden, President Trump or President Gayle King, I think that— —Choose another name.

Starting point is 01:31:51 —The transparency. —The transparency is so important, it is not required. Presidents do not have to give their health records to the American people. —And that needs to change. —And that is—it's unacceptable. After this, there's no way that the American people should tolerate this ever again. There needs to be a law on the books requiring full health

Starting point is 01:32:11 disclosures, full health, under oath, as Alex said. Let's hope the doctors tell the truth too. That seems to require it. The doctors tell the truth. That's why it has to be a group. The deniers. But because the doctors are not always fully discreet. Exactly right.

Starting point is 01:32:23 No, like during COVID. Exactly, so no one can trust nobody. That's the bottom line. No one can trust nobody. That's right. Of course, by the way, I want to, we have to bring it. The idea, the daddy long legs thing is still, since you brought it up.

Starting point is 01:32:40 It's making me mad. I think you have to bring it into the conversation more. Yes. Because it is the thing what... Yeah, they're making all this, you know, may have couples and they're going into this and that. And, oh, we missed this, we missed that, we could have cut. And no one has brought that up. Who was that guy? It's one of the more obvious things because we had this tall skinny guy with the, you know, wandering around.

Starting point is 01:33:03 Who was that guy? Was it a mask? These are wandering around. Who was that guy? Was it a mask? These are my questions. Who was that guy? There's been no discussion of that technology, the CIA mask. Which we know is very advanced. Who was he? Because it was advanced in the 60s.

Starting point is 01:33:19 That's right. Who was he? Was it a mask? And did you kill him? Or is he available for parties, bar mitzvahs and weddings? Because he's awesome. He was pretty good. He did a good job.

Starting point is 01:33:31 He should receive an Academy Award. This guy should be, screw Zelensky. This guy should be on, I played Joe Biden for the entire world. Oh yeah, you were awesome. You were awesome, man. You really had us fooled except when you were running towards the helicopter at eight feet tall. So President Trump, of course, takes advantage of this to put the fear of God into certain

Starting point is 01:33:55 people. Do you want to respond to President Biden being diagnosed with cancer? Are you going to call your processor? I think it's very sad, actually. I think that if you take a look, it's the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine. There was nothing wrong with him. Well, he said, if it's the same doctor who said there was nothing wrong there, and that's

Starting point is 01:34:17 being proven to be a sad situation, and the auto pen is becoming a very big deal. You know, the auto pen is becoming a big deal because it seems like that maybe was the president who ever operated the auto pen is becoming a very big deal. You know, the auto pen is becoming a big deal because it seems like that maybe was the president who ever operated the auto pen. But when they say that that was not good, they also, you know, you have to look and you have to say then the test was not so good either. In other words, there are things going on that the public wasn't informed. And I think somebody is going to have to speak to his doctor if it's the same or even if it's two separate doctors yeah now that's gonna

Starting point is 01:34:47 put the fear into some people who got pardons oh oh it was Anita Dunn who was controlling the pen oh no oh no oh boy I'm in trouble now he's not gonna do anything but I think nothing's gonna happen no of course not but I think it's fun that he's but it will there. But it will scare people. People are easily freaked out. Then this morning, it happened. BBB used to be billed back better. Now it's a beautiful bill.

Starting point is 01:35:14 On this vote, the yeas are 215, the nays are 214, with one answering present. The bill is passed. Woohoo! Yeah! No tax on tips. No tax on social security. Answering present the bill is passed No Like to know how the salt thing was resolved because if one of the guys was made a big fuss about I do have some clips well, hold on a second, I want to play this short clip because This wasn't going to happen until President Trump went into the meeting. He had a meeting with the Republicans of the House. And just so you know, it was a meeting of love.

Starting point is 01:35:59 I think it was a really great, that was a meeting of love. Let me tell you, that was love in that room. There was no shouting. I think it was a meeting of love. Let me tell you, that was love in that room. There was no shouting. I think it was a meeting of love. There were a couple of things that we talked about specifically where some people felt a little bit one way or the other, not a big deal. Yeah, it was a great meeting. The party is unified. The House Republican Conference is excited. Multiple standing ovations. They love this President. The people back home love what he's doing. It's historic and everybody understands the scope and the meaning of this. If we do not accomplish this mission, the people back home love what he's doing. It's historic and everybody understands the scope and the meaning of this.

Starting point is 01:36:27 If we do not accomplish this mission, every one of you, all the American people are going to have the highest tax increase that you've ever had. I think it was a great talk. It wasn't a speech, we talked about things. Who do you work for? Nurse. Who? Nurse.

Starting point is 01:36:39 I don't even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real nurse. Mr. President? Where are you, a nurse? Where are you from? I get you started. I'm a nurse. I'm a nurse. I'm a nurse. I don't even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job. Mr. President! Where are you? Nurse? Where are you from?

Starting point is 01:36:49 Get yourself a real job. Anyway, yes, a meeting of love. Here's how I think the meeting went. Hey, look at this picture. What is that in your mouth? That was an obvious... You know Trump does that. He went...

Starting point is 01:37:04 Where did he go when he showed a picture of the guy's house? Remember that? Yeah, it was the Taliban guy. Yeah, he said, hey, look at this. What's this? It's a picture of your house. So I think that just he had a little stack of pictures like look at this, look at this, look at this.

Starting point is 01:37:19 The way politics is always done in America. If he did that to the Taliban guy, he probably, you're right, that's probably his MO for certain people. Not everybody's happy. Massey, of course, is very unhappy about this. Massey's always unhappy. Well, I mean, what he's unhappy about is the $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. And he should be. Yes. By the way, I heard you and Horowitz talking about this on the show. Oh, you actually listened.

Starting point is 01:37:47 Yes. And I have something to say. Horowitz, keep my wife's name out of your mouth. Be very... Stop making me laugh. Be very, very careful, Horowitz. I'm not digging that. Who do you think you are? He's like, oh, I'm hitting on Tina. What? What? As my mom would say, you're skating on thin ice, Florida man. All right. Yes. Well, I'm the one, of course, who instigated the whole thing.

Starting point is 01:38:20 You're stoking this. Of course you are. You love it. You got nothing better to do. I'm a terrible person. That's why I always say don't want me working in an office, please. I know I had you in my office. You're Switzerland between two shows. You're getting away. Yeah, I'm neutral. Woe is the day that Horowitz and I make up and team up against you.

Starting point is 01:38:42 By the way, I always love like when Bitcoin goes down, you guys like, it's supposed to be a hedge. What is this stupid Bitcoin? And now it's like 112. Wow, that's going quite well. Looking good. Looking good. Oh, no, it's because of Coinbase there in the S&P.

Starting point is 01:39:01 Coinbase, please. You guys. That was a good, I liked it. I liked that analysis when you said that. Yeah, please be consistent. It's the four trillion dollars. That's what's doing it. Printing more money. Hello. That's what's going on there. I want to get this out of the way because this is important. This is part of the, you know, they always say that the rich are somehow benefiting from Trump, tax cuts for the riches, bull crap.

Starting point is 01:39:26 And they had nothing but trouble getting the SALT stuff through. That SALT is state and local taxes. In other words, I'm in California. You pay 13%, I think. I have to pay 13% to the state of California and I don't get to deduct that from the federal. Now, can I ask you a question?

Starting point is 01:39:41 Does SALT also include your mortgage deduction, your interest, mortgage interest deduction, or does that not change? I don't think so. That's another issue. Yeah, that's a huge issue. Because they put a cap on that, but they raised the cap on that thanks to… They raised it on that too? No, they raised it on…

Starting point is 01:39:58 That was always going to get raised to 40. 40,000? From 10. Wow. Well, I had time to… 40,000 from 10. Wow. Well, I had time to... If you own some properties, you end up, you know, I know, time to get a bigger house. Yes, that's my motto.

Starting point is 01:40:16 So let's just get a little background on this because it's kind of interesting. I thought it may be beside the point at this point, but this place, Salt Support NPR. Last week on this program, we heard from representative Mike Lawler of New York State, one of the Republicans who want to restore a federal tax deduction for state and local taxes. Here's what he said then. As I've said for over two years since coming to Congress, if there was not a fix for salt,

Starting point is 01:40:41 I would not support any tax bill that came before me. I've been loud and clear about that. Yesterday, President Trump addressed this issue. He said he doesn't like the SALT tax deduction, as it's called, because he said it would benefit quote Democrat states. Representative Lawler is back on the line from New York. Representative, good morning. Good morning, Steve.

Starting point is 01:41:03 Thanks for having me. Thanks for joining us again. The president doesn't sound like he's interested at all in your priority anymore. What does that mean for your vote? Well, I think the president obviously is anxious to get a bill passed. We are in the final stages of negotiating that through the House.

Starting point is 01:41:19 And then as your report just mentioned, it goes to the Senate. So the president wants us to come to afternoon and into the evening meeting with the speaker and coming to terms on an agreement. But we are, we're still working through some of the finer points. And I suspect today will be in a much stronger position.

Starting point is 01:41:45 Do you mean to say that you think you're going to get the salt tax deduction or some variant of it or some portion of it? Oh, we are. So just so I understand, I live in a state where there's no state income tax. We do have rather high sales tax and real estate tax, which pays for beautiful roads. You got big, beautiful roads. Everything's good. Everything's fine. Everything functions.

Starting point is 01:42:08 We have chem trails, Abbott, that something has got to change. So what's happening here is when you get to deduct your 13%, that comes out of my pocket, does it not? Oh yeah. It comes right out of your pocket. Indirectly. We're coming in there, we're looking for you, and we're going to hit you over the head with this.

Starting point is 01:42:29 Oh, spoken like a true Cali Commie. Come on now. It's the truth. If you get to deduct it, then that's coming out of… Why should it be double taxed is the question. Do you think it's fair? No, I don't. I get a dollar and I get taxed like 13 cents for the dollar and then I have to pay taxes.

Starting point is 01:42:53 I understand your issue and you are correct sir. However, your state should not be levying tax against you. Instead, you're going to deduct it from the money you pay into the big pot that I pay into as well. I do have a small if-you with that because you should move out of California. Why? Because of the 13% tax. I'd like the weather. You'd love Texas. I don't like it that hot. I do like Texas weather. I have no complaints about it, but they're also, they still have tornadoes and other issues. You're just making a climate change now, whereas I have a point. It's okay. But that means we are picking up the slack for states like California

Starting point is 01:43:37 who are out of control. You have, you know, you can deduct your, your property tax and you can deduct your sales tax. Some people do that. I don't know but I know does it, but I know people that can do it and have done it. TurboTax has like some formula where they just say, yeah, you probably paid this much, we'll deduct it.

Starting point is 01:43:57 Yeah. Which is great. TurboTax. Yeah, and that's generally acceptable. I mean, these formulas are accepted by the IRS. They're pretty liberal about it. And- But you get to deduct that too.

Starting point is 01:44:09 I'm just, look, I don't have a problem with it. Sales tax isn't, what yours is, is less. And also, property taxes are reasonable because we have Prop 13, which keeps people from having their property taxes jacked up every year by some maniac, which happens in Washington State and elsewhere. We don't have that in California, luckily. Well, how groovy.

Starting point is 01:44:31 It is groovy. So on where we could now, you have to remember the NPR, this guy's reasonable, this Republican from New York, and NPR has to get some digs in on Trump, and he backs him off pretty well. It's pretty, this is a pretty New York and he, and NPR has to get some digs in on Trump and he backs him off pretty well. It's pretty, this is a pretty good back and forth. But this is important. New York's tax burden is the highest in the country. The governor just increased state spending by double digit billion dollars, up a hundred

Starting point is 01:44:59 billion in a decade. These are unsustainable levels and that's what the president was referencing. Let me ask about, forgive me, I just want to get one more thing in here. We heard earlier today from Greg Kassar, one of your Democratic colleagues, he's from Texas. Yeah, Austin loser. And he's talking about this budget bill, talking about the Medicaid cuts or savings, and he asserts that the cuts will affect health care for real people, including in a red state like his. Let's listen. What they're talking about is closing rural hospitals, closing addiction treatment centers,

Starting point is 01:45:33 leaving 4 million school-aged kids without food assistance. It's horrible, but we can still stop it. When he says rural hospitals, I immediately think of one that I know about in upstate New York that's forever in danger of closing. This is a constant problem across the United States. How would you protect rural hospitals as you cut back, scale back Medicaid, which many of them depend on? Greg Kassar, by the way, is a massive, massive communist.

Starting point is 01:46:04 Yeah, he was obviously a communist. And I like the way the NPR guy, the guy is talking about Hokel jacking up the revenues for New York by a hundred billion dollars and he cuts him off to throw in that the communist the guy who sounds like a woman by the way and to him terms of his pitch And we've probably had a vasectomy I'm sure he led the workers defense project the certified communist this guy I didn't that was so Austin He was on the Austin City Council worse So he brings all this stuff in because it's got a lot of anti-Trump messaging. And the New York guy bounced it off pretty nicely.

Starting point is 01:46:49 Yeah, he did. He did. Yeah. Well, no. Here he comes. Here's where he really does it. The focus of the reforms in the bill is to slow the rate of growth and make sure that those who are not eligible do not receive benefits, i.e. illegal immigrants, people who are no longer eligible should not remain on the program for up to a year, which is what the Biden administration allowed, as well as work requirements for able-bodied adults. When it comes to food assistance, it's a cost share. It is having the states have some skin in the game in starting with, you know, a 5% share.

Starting point is 01:47:30 Right now they pay 0% share for the cost. So this is about slowing the rate of growth. Medicaid is going to expand by 24% over the 10 year window of this bill. So it is not a major cut, but in fact slowing the rate of growth. Congressman Mike Lawler, Republican of New York, always a pleasure talking with you.

Starting point is 01:47:49 Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah, that's the lie about the, oh, they're gonna cut your Medicare, you're gonna cut this, cut that. That's not true. They're gonna make you actually go look for a job. Well, not only that, but they're not cutting it.

Starting point is 01:48:02 They're cutting the growth. Yes, which has grown 100% in like five years or something. I think it's because of fraud. If they put some police on the job, in other words, you put an enforcement agency together and then tack it on to the operation and have it with some teeth. Billy clubs go in there and wrap some knuckles, knock on some doors. Hey, hey, walk across the room. You got no problem.

Starting point is 01:48:24 You can walk on those stumps. And if you do some enforcement, you would have less fraud and then you would save a lot of money. But it's like a pain in the ass to put together an agency or enforcement division. And you know, maybe they should get rid of those ads for those phony baloney phones that you know, oh it will cost you nothing where you have anonymous Indian transcribing the call in the

Starting point is 01:48:51 background. Yeah, those phones. Yeah, those phones, all that, get rid of all that nonsense, the back braces, all these things. Oh, it'll cost you nothing. All very dubious. I get calls every so often from one of these operations. Hey, You can get a free this or a free that. Just sign up. A free walking stick. A free shillelagh. A shillelagh? You know what a shillelagh is?

Starting point is 01:49:16 That's interesting. Maybe I do. I've heard the word. What's a shillelagh? It's like a big stick that the Irish walk around with. Ah, shillelagh. Ah. I, Clybuscbasket the Shillelagh. If you get one of those, you could get one of those scooters.

Starting point is 01:49:30 One of those that... Yeah, I could. ...drive around on Walmart. I'm on a hill. That'd be really funny to watch. Next time you're in Walmart, just get on one of those and take a picture. That'd be hilarious. One of those electric scooters.

Starting point is 01:49:43 What are they called? I don't know. They're called electric scooters. I got Medicaid. Talk'd be hilarious. One of those electric scooters. What are they called? I don't know. They call electric scooters. I got Medicaid. Talk about Medicaid cuts. I got Medicaid cuts. Um, Yeah. I'd be like, you don't need Medicaid. You're a podcaster. What's your problem? Two, two, two, two clips. Oh, hold on a second. Uh, Medicaid, Medicaid, Medicaid cuts.

Starting point is 01:50:04 I'm looking under M, Medicaid cuts. I'm looking under M. Medicaid cuts. I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking under M. I don't see anything with Medicaid. I have- There's like Medicaid 2, there's Medicaid cuts, NTD, and there's medical nuisance scam. I'm telling you, I do not have these.

Starting point is 01:50:20 What is going on? There's M's, there's M's. No, I'm looking at the M's. Were these your bonus clips that I put them in the wrong? No, no, these are the real clips. I have Magna Carta, Magna Carta Tail, Malema, Malema, Malema, Qatar.

Starting point is 01:50:34 I don't have Medicare. Under the M. I don't. Well, then it got disorganized because it was sent with the rest of them. It wasn't sent separately. I'm just telling you. Do you have Nintendo gripe? Nope. Did you send one batch or two batches? No wait, hold on. Oh, oh, okay. I love it how you blame me. Blame me? It's your fault. Blame it on the podcaster. No, I don't have these. You have to go to the, never the never mind never mind Well, you want to send them to me real quick? I'll be happy to add them

Starting point is 01:51:07 No, I forget I got a better better material with the Doge attack. Okay Well first let me talk about a different attack because this was completely predictable Knew it was gonna happen No surprise the Jew hate has reached its epic. Oh, yeah. It was not a good story. It's a very bad story. Overnight police in Washington, D.C. investigating the deadly shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members. Authorities say the man and woman were shot at close range as they were leaving the Capitol Jewish Museum. Prior to the shooting, the suspect was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum. He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun, and opened fire, striking both

Starting point is 01:51:50 of our decedents. After the shooting, the suspect then entered the museum and was detained by event security. After the shooting, a man in custody inside the museum was heard chanting support of Palestinians. Free, free Palestine! He implied that he committed the offense. The suspect chanted, free, free Palestine while in custody. One witness says she gave the man water unaware of what had unfolded. We offered him water and he was like, yeah, that'll be great actually. That's when he reaches into his backpack and pulls out a kaffir and says, I did it.

Starting point is 01:52:28 I did this for Gaza. The shooting suspect identified as 30 year old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago. Police say they had no prior interactions with him. The American Jewish committee was hosting an event at the museum celebrating Jewish heritage at the time of the shooting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying, this was a brazen act of cowardly anti-Semitic violence. Israel's ambassador to the UN calling it, quote,

Starting point is 01:52:51 a depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism. Saying the young embassy staffers killed were a couple who were planning to get married. There you go. Yeah, completely predictable. And what brought that on you think Media pushing the Palestine protest. Yep Colleges pushing Palestine Palestine Palestine. Mm-hmm, South Africa

Starting point is 01:53:18 Yep, but you know next time it'll be a right-winger It's just gonna keep on happening and I know I know a lot of Jewish people. They're very worried. They're like, oh, this is no good. It is no good. Can't go shooting people like that just because of some political purpose or political purposes. Because you, an American living in Chicago, want the free Palestine. What do you got to do with it? It's ideological at this point. It's not political. It's ideological. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. Well, there you go.

Starting point is 01:53:46 That's not good news. I don't know why you said it was a good story. It's a good story. It's not a good story. It's a horrible story. But that does bring us to ideologies. I did pick up, I did listen to a Financial Times podcast that had Steve Bannon. B Knolley Bannon back on the beat. Do I have this clip? Steve Bannon Yeah, it's called Bannon. It's one of the bonus clips. Ben Knolley Yes, I have Bannon. I have Bannon. You ready? Steve Bannon

Starting point is 01:54:14 This is interesting. This is about the pope. Ben Knolley I recommend it. Ben Knolley I'm sorry. Was that a cue? Steve Bannon I'm sorry. Just play. I'm sorry. Ben Knolley

Starting point is 01:54:23 I recommend it. Ben Knolley By the way, just so you know, there are already trolls who are saying, I'm sorry. Was that a cue? I'm sorry. Just play. I'm sorry. I recommended. By the way, just so you know, there are already trolls who were saying, was fake, wasn't a fake, was a fake shooting, wasn't real. Wasn't real. Yeah, the trolls are trolls.

Starting point is 01:54:35 Yeah. I recommended. He come back strong in that and Bergoglio the entire time has been very anti-Trump. But that's not the, it's not just being anti-Magna. Stop it. He keeps referring to the previous Pope Francis as Bergolia, which is his real name. And he also refers to the new Pope by his former name too. Okay. Lou.

Starting point is 01:54:55 I recommended. He'd come back strong in that. And Bergolia the entire time has been virulently anti-Trump. But that's not the, it's not just being anti-Magger, anti-Trump. That's the politics of it, right? And Prevost is a continuation. But it is for the traditional Catholics in the crowd, the Latin mass Catholics, the pre-Vatican two Catholics, we're close to a schism in the church between Bergoglia in this kind

Starting point is 01:55:20 of radical way he's taking it and Prevost. What my research found, we have lots of contacts in the Curia, we have lots of contacts in the Vatican. You know, I've spent a lot of time in Italy. We had a monastery that we actually owned for the government took it away from us to be kind of a counter to what was going on in the Vatican. So we have a broad network of the traditionalists.

Starting point is 01:55:39 And prevost, and I'm saying this, the conclave for the pope was more rigged than the 2020 election. Now, why do I say, let me back it up some facts. On Piers Morgan show 10 days before the conclave started, I called, I said, Prevost is the dark horse. He wasn't in any betting pool. If you look at Italian TV, nowhere.

Starting point is 01:56:02 The reason is, is not only is the- Okay, I just gotta stop for a second. He didn't call it. He mentioned a couple of names and he said there were several dark horses. He did not call it. I'm just saying that because I got it wrong, but I got it right once before. He didn't call anything. Let me back it up with some facts.

Starting point is 01:56:22 On Piers Morgan show 10 days before the conclave started, I called. I said, Prevost is the dark horse. He wasn't in any betting pool. If you look at Italian TV, nowhere. The reason is, is not only is the, he's only been a cardinal less than two years. He was the perfect acolyte for Bergoglio to continue his thing. And the front page of the New York Times says that today. If you read the whole huge front page story. More importantly, because of our efforts and other, because the traditional church in America

Starting point is 01:56:48 is on fire with vocations and young people and vibrancy and urgency, that we help cut off the money going to the Vatican. And so the Vatican, the Wall Street Journal had a huge article this week that showed the Vatican has tons of assets, but they're illiquid. They need the American cash. They would never put a traditional American in that role because they think the American church has too much power. Prevost, what is going to be the contact for the big American donors?

Starting point is 01:57:14 No, I think he's right. I think he nails it with that. I don't know how a private election can be rigged. I don't know about that. Well, I like the way he put it. Yeah. Well, speaking of rigged elections, let's go check out Romania. Having conceded defeat on Sunday night, George Simeon, following pressure from his supporters

Starting point is 01:57:38 on TikTok, will now sue to get the presidential election results cancelled, sizing interference by France. International observers saw interference not only from the Republic of Moldova, but also from the French state. Social media was manipulated and algorithms were used to influence Romanian citizens. The pro-Russia candidate was relaying accusations by Pavel Durov, co-founder of Telegram, who has said he's willing to testify. Durov took to the social media platform X on Sunday to directly accuse French intelligence services.

Starting point is 01:58:18 This spring at the Salon des Batailles in the Hôtel de Crion, Nicolas Lerner, head of French intelligence, asked me to ban conservative voices in Romania ahead of elections. I refused. We didn't block protesters in Russia, Belarus or Iran. We won't start doing it in Europe. Allegations which French Intelligence, which has admitted meeting to Europe on several occasions took the unusual step of denying. The Director-General for External Security strongly refutes allegations that it made any

Starting point is 01:58:45 requests for accounts in relation to any electoral process to be banned. I totally believe they did that. It's unbelievable. Yeah, well that guy even said before, he said France is meddling here. He said it the first three times they voted. They're gonna just keep voting and keep voting until they get the right guy in there. Until they get the right guy. It's the worst in the EU. Well, it's pretty much the same people, the same people running the show. Yeah, the ads great. It's great. Look at the world around you, man. It's great. We're podcasting. Everybody's happy.

Starting point is 01:59:29 everybody's happy. Except Joe. With that daddy long legs, he's hiding out somewhere. Daddy long legs thing, since you brought it up, has just been bugging me now. Yeah, it's very annoying. Because these two jokers, especially Tapper, has been on show after show after show after show, and not one reporter has even broached the topic of a fake viral. Because if they broach that topic and the mask story comes out, well, then no one will believe anything again. Everybody will be a dude and a mask. What you're saying is a gentleman's agreement with the intelligence agencies.

Starting point is 02:00:01 I think so. Well, we know that Tapper... Shut up. We know that Tapper is at the birthday parties. We had one of our producers catered the deputy CIA director's birthday party and Tapper was there hanging out, not reporting. Oh, I think, yeah, a gentleman's agreement, which is like, hey, Jake, look at this picture. I can't have much said in your mouth. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage.

Starting point is 02:00:25 Say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the Cali commie say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr. John C. DeVore. In the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning all the ships of sea boots on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and all the names of nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room when we count you. Come on here we go counting it up. in the water and all the names of nights out there. Hi in the morning to the trolls in the troll room when we count you.

Starting point is 02:00:45 Here we go counting it up. 1874. That's not too bad. It's a Memorial Day weekend, right? Isn't this the long weekend? Today's Thursday. That's what I mean. Everyone's taking the Thursday and Friday off. They're already on vacation. No one's working anymore.

Starting point is 02:01:02 Well, smart money. Smart money. Not podcasters. Smart money. Those trolls are in the troll room. You can find them at trollroom.io and many of them may be listening to the live stream on a modern podcast app, which you definitely want to try by going to podcastapps.com because you'll never find a show being deplatformed from there because it is all connected to the podcast index, which I personally make sure does not deplatform or remove anybody or anything. And just to prove my point, Brennan sent me an email Monday. He says, Pandora disappointed me this morning.

Starting point is 02:01:43 I went like I do every Monday to listen to Sunday show and none of the shows are on there at all. I'm not sure if they cut the cord, but I figured you should know. Like Brennan, how many times do I have to tell you? Get a modern podcast app, Pandora. Pandora? Are they still in business? Yeah, I think they're public. I think they're a fan door. Are they still in business? Yeah, I think they're public. I think they're a public company.

Starting point is 02:02:07 So no, get a modern podcast app. Support independent developers. Don't kowtow to big tech. Don't kowtow to big tech. That should be the motto of the show. Yeah, yeah. I don't. Yeah, I don't.

Starting point is 02:02:23 I don't even use a phone. You don't even have a,. But if you had one, it would be one of those nice Samsung flip phones. We all know that. All those Samsung flip phones are unbelievable. Yeah, they are. Stop texting me people. I'm texting you on my light phone. Yes, so that's the trolls. And then of course, we want to make note of the fact that when we do this show, you notice that no commercials. Did you notice that? No commercials, no pre-rolls.

Starting point is 02:02:51 No, we don't all we're talking about something and talking about the Pope. And then all of a sudden, gold there, you can get gold for your IRA. Get these gold coins, these gold coins. It's you're only going to pay 50% above spot price in gold, but hey, they're limited edition. Get them now. Well, stocks last. We'll help you roll over your IRA old person. You know, I've been wanting to put a series of clips together of the segues that these, like Mark Levin, for example,

Starting point is 02:03:21 he'll be talking about something very serious and segue right into a gold Plug bill O'Reilly is the worst so he has the bill O'Reilly morning update and So he has another guy so he has the bill O'Reilly update for Monday Here's chip and chip will tell you what's going on So bill O'Reilly is not there chip does the news and. And now we'll be right back after Bill talks to you. And then O'Reilly comes in and says, it's troubling times right now. We know what's going to happen with the tariffs, with the economy. That's why I trust gold.

Starting point is 02:03:56 And he does it like a news story. It's like a news story. It's like a native ad and it just slips it right in. And what happens is, you wind up buying specialty gold coins, which are limited by the people selling you the gold coins because they mint them. Now they do that through Australia so they don't get in trouble for this obvious, I'm just going to call it a scam. I mean, I'm not an expert, but that's my opinion. going to call it a scam. I mean, I'm not an expert, but that's my opinion. And so you're paying 25% above the price of the actual gold contained in the coin. And I think the podcaster gets 5% or something. It's like there's so much money going around this guy. We are stupid. Well, we're not stupid.

Starting point is 02:04:47 We're well, no, we're not. We're honest. I, for example, when I was in high school, yeah, honest, you know, honest John. Exactly. And why was that in high school specifically? Because that's where I can start to remember things. Okay. That's pretty funny.

Starting point is 02:05:08 No, so we don't do that. There's no levels, no hoops to jump through. We just give you the show. If you want to buy premium gold, collect classic Americana gold, real Liberty coins, the ones America minted back in the 1800s. They're around.

Starting point is 02:05:26 And find a reputable dealer who'll sell them to you at the market price of what these collectible coins are worth. You have the gold and you have a collectible item that's not going to. But because it's collectible, you're paying above the actual price of gold. No, you are. But if you're going to pay, I'm just saying, if you're going to pay above spot gold price, but this being sold to people, you can just buy gold if you want to buy a bar. Buy a bar of gold. Exactly.

Starting point is 02:05:52 But this is being sold to people who have no idea about the numastic value. I'm not recommending people buy a bar of gold because the only guy I know that ever bought a bar of gold ended up losing in some divorce settlement or something. And I bought it at the time, $750 an ounce. It's tripled more than that. It's quadrupled. Yeah. Oh man.

Starting point is 02:06:17 And don't worry, the person who got it squandered it right away. Anyway, one of the many ways that you can support us for the work that we do is, well, there's three ways actually, time, talent and treasure. And we always love the treasure, we do need the treasure. However, doing stuff for the show is also important. So when someone does a, you know, does a boots on the ground, hitting people in the mouth, calling out people as douche bags for not donating, all these things are of high importance. But we also have the artists and the artists sometimes prompt jockeys.

Starting point is 02:06:55 But again, I've made, I've made it. I have a statement about AI. Duh oh. Yeah. I have a statement about it. Cause I, you know, a statement you did, is it something you read? Is it on a piece of paper? No, it's not on a piece of paper. I've been vibe coding and I finally got my project done. Spent about 250 hours. Any competent coder could have done this in 10. And it's true.

Starting point is 02:07:19 And the worst is like, the AI will take you down a rabbit hole and will not, it doesn't remember, it has no common sense, it makes mistakes and if you don't catch them, if you're not reading or if you just like fix this, fix this, fix this, it winds up ruining everything. You better have backup copies otherwise you have to go say, no, this worked and now you broke it. So you need AI to use AI. In order to use artificial intelligence, you need almighty intelligence. That is my statement.

Starting point is 02:08:04 And if you got that like digital 212, 2112 man, then you can come up with something decent. But it's not just going to do it by itself for yourself. Not a single AI will create an image or code or marketing document or resume or anything. If you don't know what you're doing, it's not going to do a good job. Yeah, that's what everyone says. That's why the artists that do the best AI art are artists. Are artists, like Darren O'Neill, the true artist. He's been using his easel and oils ever since he was a child.

Starting point is 02:08:36 Digital2112man brought us the artwork for episode 1765. We titled that Pro-Mortalist. And this is Adam and John at the climate desk. And we look very happy about it. Yes, we do. Which I wasn't crazy about it. I mean, considering- No, you didn't like the piece really.

Starting point is 02:08:55 I'm the one who put, I would take full credit for promoting this piece. And the reason I use the rationale is what we were sick of Darren winning all the time is one thing. It's like, as long as it's not Darren. You did say that. I think I actually heard you say that. By the way, still on the all-time leaderboard he's still moving up. It's crazy. I just like the composition of the piece. I thought it was pretty. It was joyful. it had a, which is important. Yes.

Starting point is 02:09:27 It was, it just was cute. It was a cute piece. I really like this piece. I personally like the beach walk, which was no agenda, in shells on the beach. Of course, that totally was a call back to Comey. Comey. Comey. And you said it was too small and didn't read. Well, that's because here's why. I saw that piece. I thought it was kind of a cute piece. I didn't notice it was shells, which it, because it wasn't obvious, because you had to blow it up to say, oh shells. Oh, I get, I didn't get the joke into you actually explained it. I didn't get the joke until you actually explained it. Because it was too small.

Starting point is 02:10:07 The shells are too small. The joke is lost because of the sizing thing. The good news is because of this discussion, I can play the donation bonus clip. How about that? I'm all in. This is Komi with Colbert on the what is the show the Colbert show the Colbert this evening something show. To him running Colbert running cover for Comey this is so this is. Now Colbert is pathetic. 56 seconds

Starting point is 02:10:42 of lies. What happened you walking on the, and you saw this on the beach? Yeah, my wife and I, Patrice, were walking on the beach and saw those numbers in shells on the beach. You didn't do this, somebody else did this. Yeah, somebody else did it. We were on a walk, preparing for this week, and I rolled out of my book. She looked at it and said, why'd someone put their address in the sand? All right. And then we stood at it, trying to figure, looked at it trying to figure out what it was and she'd long been a server in restaurants and she said, you know what I think it is?

Starting point is 02:11:09 Yeah. I think it's a reference to restaurants when you would 86 something in a restaurant. Right, off the menu. Yeah. I said, no, I remember as a kid you'd say 86 to get out of a place. This place stinks, let's 86 it. I was a bartender, you would 86 a customer if they were getting drunk. Like that's 86 on this, like give them him a low proof alcohol something like that. Yeah, and so I said I think it's a clever political message

Starting point is 02:11:30 And she said you should take a picture of it. I said sure and then she said you should Instagram that and boom And boom I'm all in all the shows to promote my stupid book He always gets the book mentioned in early but the thing is some I forgot one of the shows I heard this that they researched his wife and she's never worked in a restaurant as bullcrap. Well, he blamed his wife, which is low Oh My wife told me to do it. Yeah, my wife told me like low That's low, that's lame, that's lame, that's lame, That's lame. You botch.

Starting point is 02:18:58 Made at the Kilpatrick bakery would get score marks to make them look risen Your trip down memory lane in the Kilpatrick bread bakery jarred some ancient memory in my head. It's a long memory. At the risk of sounding like a boomer, you're there. This is a boomer note. I had indeed toured the Kilpatrick's factory with my folks as some sort of get the kids out of the house and try to make it educational day, probably 70 or 71.

Starting point is 02:19:24 I distinctly remember getting the paper Kilpatrick bakery hat like the workers wore at the end of the tour and a loaf of magical Kilpatrick air bread puffy and vacchus as God intended. It is said the Kilpatrick aficionados would deride Wonder Bread as inedible, brushing it off as an inferior product. And then he talks about how he was slipping back in time. You could smell it. He was... Anyway, he says, Thank you for taking me back to those halcyon days of the late 60s, early 70s of the SF Bay Area.

Starting point is 02:19:54 It's a crap hole. Nothing like it used to be then. What a wonderful time to be alive in the Bay, long before Big Tech took any shred of character left from my beloved boyhood home.

A very famous family. Adam and John, thank you for your courage. I've been an avid listener of the show for the last two years, slovenly absorbing the exquisite decadence known as your premium content. The last three shows have pushed me over the mountain of douchebaggery and I've started my journey towards knighthood.

Starting point is 02:21:57 As a seasoned veteran of the Amazon slave gang, I've seen firsthand the infiltration of DEI and the tightening noose of the economy as my generation falls ever deeper into the abyss of sheep-dumb, D-U-M-B. Alas, I've been slowly and steadily hitting others like me in the mouth, striving to grow the movement to end the sad puppy. Adam, I listened to Curry and the Keeper and hate to correct you, but I am in fact one of the Dorful band members. I humbly request Baby Making Karma F35 Scream and he also wants some chemtrails for his jingles. I've been trying to avoid the chemtrails because they've been bad here the past few weeks.

I want to play Dan Bongino in 2022. Dan Bongino 2022. Do you need a harp to go back in time or? You could do that. I think the harp would actually be a nice touch. Here we go. Going back in time. Dan Bongino 2022. Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal.

Starting point is 02:24:37 Please do not let that story go. Keep your eye on this. Catherine Rummler, we need to keep the heat on this case, folks. There are a lot of people who are knee deep in the Washington swamp, who are not telling you the truth about serious allegations out there that Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing things

Starting point is 02:25:00 they shouldn't have been doing. And you should be asking yourself the question, how is it that all these people, the CIA director, the Obama fixer, Bill Clinton, all intersected past with Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein isn't with us anymore and nobody seems to want to talk about it outside of a few entrepreneurial media outlets saying, hey, this is a big deal. And we come back. Wow, Dan Bongino pretty hot there about the who killed Epsi. We had songs, we had jokes, we had t-shirts.

Starting point is 02:25:30 Jeffrey Epsi didn't kill himself. Everybody was saying it. Here's Dan Bongino last week. He killed himself. Again, you want me to get... I've seen the whole file. He killed himself. What's interesting about this is this is such a distraction. Who cares?

Starting point is 02:25:49 Show me the tapes. Show me what happened. Show me the client list. Show me anything. Now everyone's running around like, Oh, can't trust him. Oh, shields. Everything's a shield. Probably Trump. Trump's a bad... Show me the daddy long legs with the mask. It's all fake. What the kids say fake and gay GE a GE Y H.

Starting point is 02:26:15 Fake and gay. Yeah, that's so if you already did a thing that they attack Doge. Oh no, a Doge attack. Doge attack. I got a two parter. Okay. I guess the first parter is faux attack. What?

Starting point is 02:26:32 The first part of the two parter is faux attack. I thought I corrected that before I shipped it in. Yeah, you sent it with those other clips. You have two shipments, man. I don't know who got the other one, but it wouldn't me. We report on the broad reach of a government effort set up by Elon Musk. The ad hoc department of government efficiency

Starting point is 02:26:52 keeps finding new parts of the federal government to try to shrink. Hold on, ad hoc is a lie. It's the digital services department, isn't it? That's not ad hoc. I think pretty much. Yeah, that's a lie. No, ad hoc makes it, you made it up as you're going oh let's just to put a come on

Starting point is 02:27:08 kids let's do a show we report on the broad reach of a government effort set up by Elon Musk the ad hoc Department of Government Efficiency keeps finding new parts of the federal government to try to shrink a new analysis by NPR found at least 40 agencies and groups that Doge has tried to A new analysis by NPR found at least 40 agencies and groups that Doge has tried to cut in recent weeks. NPR's Stephen Fowler is covering all of this and is online. Hi there, Stephen.

Starting point is 02:27:32 Good morning. So who's getting a knock on the door here? Well, the knock is often an email from one of a few Doge staffers based in the General Services Administration. They're seeking to learn more about operations and to embed a team within the organization. Now, some of them have already been effectively dismantled by Doge, like the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

Starting point is 02:27:52 Some of them have been targeted for elimination by the president in his proposal for next year's budget, like AmeriCorps. The outreach has been to this constellation of commissions, boards, and entities that are all small and independent. Well, how have some of these dozens of entities responded? After the email, in many of these places, DOGE has moved quickly. At the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, for example, in less than one week, an email led to a video call, led to an in-person meeting, and now a DOGE team is being onboarded. On April 17th alone, Doge

Starting point is 02:28:26 staffers scheduled meetings with officials from the Truman Scholarship Foundation, the Denali Commission, the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation, and the US Access Board. That's according to two sources not authorized to speak about Doge's operations. I guess we should mention different laws apply to different organizations which themselves are organized differently. Could they just say no thanks to Doge's requests? Some of them already have because these Doge folks have also tried to reach out to organizations that aren't government agencies at all, like the private nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice, the Independent Nonprofit Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the Government Accountability Office, which is part of the legislative branch.

Starting point is 02:29:12 What did I learn here? You learned that they don't care. It's like what you learned is nobody cares. They're mocking this basically. Nobody wants to do anything about all this government waste, but they bitch and moan about the ridiculous deficit that we have. Yes. But okay, let's play part two.

Starting point is 02:29:31 How legal is any of this? There are more than a dozen lawsuits that have been filed related to Doge efforts at these small organizations that say it's not legal. By and large, these are places that have been created by Congress, many of them nonprofits, and nearly all of them do have their funding and functions spelled out by law, and some of those cases explicitly limiting the president's power to interact with them. That means President Trump can't always go in and fire people and make changes on his own.

Starting point is 02:29:59 In the last week, a judge ordered a halt to Doge-related shutdowns at the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and the Minority Business Development Agency. And this week, a different federal judge found Doge's takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace was illegal. Stephen, what does all of this add to your understanding of what Doge is doing? Well, President Trump has a very clear mission of what a government remade in his image looks like. It's smaller, there's less bureaucracy and those people and institutions who

Starting point is 02:30:29 are left answer directly to him and his viewpoints. Calling him God there with a maid in his image. Yeah, this was the point. Oh, they want to make it in his image and they want loyalists. I mean, it's like you're the president, you've been elected thus, and then you expect... What? And you expect people to pay any attention? You want people that go along with your program? No. We don't want that. We want independence. We want to do what we want to do. We don't... The president doesn't matter.

Starting point is 02:31:00 This is ridiculous. They don't support any of it. Let's do a little tech news. The media does not support anything positive. No. Well, we're not supporting them. We're moving to podcasts. Let me see. Sam Altman, OpenAI, has bought Johnny Ive's AI company for $6.5 billion. Nice work if you can get it. That's pretty nice.

Starting point is 02:31:30 My favorite artificial intelligence story, well I have two actually. My favorite was the AI generated summer reading list. Did you catch this story? No, I didn't, but it already sounds good. Some newspapers around the country, including Chicago Sun Times and at least one edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer, have published a syndicated summer book reading list that includes made-up books by famous authors.

Starting point is 02:31:58 That's the great thing about AI. If it can do art, it's making stuff up. It's making it up. The list has no byline, but writer Marco Boscaglia has claimed responsibility for it, says it was partially generated by artificial intelligence. In an email to NPR, Boscaglia writes, huge mistake on my part has nothing to do with the Sun Times. They trust that the content they purchase is accurate and I betrayed that trust. It's on me 100%.

Starting point is 02:32:36 There it is. We just talked about it when you say 100% bull crap. Unbelievable. Let's see, do we have any of these fun books that they had? Um, let me see. Yeah, you had to have the list. Yeah, I have the, I have the list here. Let me see.

Starting point is 02:32:58 Uh, but these are authors. I don't know. Yeah, well, cause they're probably half of them are made up. No, the, well, dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. Is that a real book? I don't know. Well, I know Ray Bradbury. Yeah, he's real.

Starting point is 02:33:14 He's dead, unfortunately. Well, he has a new book out. I got to have breakfast with him once. With Ray Bradbury. Wasn't he a science fiction guy? Wasn't he a... Yeah, he's a great guy. He gave a speech in Napa at some event I was attending.

Starting point is 02:33:28 And he's a great public speaker. He has a certain kind of style that is very easy to take. And it's easy to copy. And I had breakfast with him the next day, yacked about what I yacked about, and he's just a charming guy, nice guy. Oh, nice. And he gave me a charming guy. Nice guy. Oh, nice. And he gave me a book, autographed it up.

Starting point is 02:33:48 I have a, I have a tip for a DH Unplugged, which you can hear on Tuesdays, live on Tuesdays and listen to the podcast on Wednesday. Wednesday. Yeah. Six o'clock Eastern. Yes. That's no, no, no. Eight o'clock Eastern, isn't it?

Starting point is 02:34:04 I was six. No, I think it's nine o'clock Eastern, isn't it? Oh, it's six. No, I think it's nine o'clock Eastern. Nine o'clock Eastern. It's like Pacific. Yeah. With that Horowitz guy. Yeah, the guy who's hitting on your wife. Kicking on my wife.

Starting point is 02:34:14 Here's my tip. I would say a long-term short on Alphabet. They have finally done the worst thing they could possibly do to their core business. Business now with Charles Pellegrin. He is standing with Google making some big announcements at its developers conference on Tuesday. This is a special year, isn't it, Charles, with regards to artificial intelligence?

Starting point is 02:34:42 That's right. Since Chad JPT's come onto the scene in 2022, there's been a mad scramble in Silicon Valley to try and integrate AI powered chat bots in many features and there had been concerns that Google was lagging behind. Well, the tech giant clearly tried to alleviate those fears on Tuesday by saying they are rolling out a new search feature for US users called AI mode. It's basically a new tab within Google search engine that users can activate and which answers questions

Starting point is 02:35:11 in the conversational style of an AI chatbot and does not include a list of blue links like we've been accustomed to for so long. The new feature will be powered by the AI model that Google has developed itself called Gemini. Take a listen to Google's CEO Sundar Pichai. It's a total reimagining of search. With more advanced reasoning, you can ask AI mode longer and more complex queries like this.

Starting point is 02:35:38 In fact, users have been asking much longer queries, two to three times the length of traditional searches. And you can go further with follow up questions. All of this is available today as a new tab right in search. This is the dumbest thing they could do. You don't make stock tips that that was a real tip that you gave. No, those just me. Just joking around.

Starting point is 02:36:04 Yeah, I'm just joking around. Don't... And by the way, most people are buying heavily into Google for some reason. Yeah, well, I just think... So you probably eat it if you follow your advice. Knowing that... No, I'm just looking at what it costs.

Starting point is 02:36:17 I mean, it's seven times the cost to perform an AI search. There's no links. So they ruin the whole concept of SEO. No, they're, they're, I don't know what to make. It makes no sense to me. Unless, unless they start charging for it. They're, you're going to have to dream up some way of making money off this thing. I don't know how they're going to do it.

Starting point is 02:36:39 Well, right now. And of course some of this obviocity of his commentary his commentary which included oh, they're asking really long structured questions Yes, if you're asking if you're working with AI you ask long question questions yes, because that's what the AI is expected to hear and the funny thing is During the very early days of Google before they got The funny thing is during the very early days of Google, before they got their act together in the 90s, in the late 90s when I had, when Sergey Brin used to come on sometimes. Was that the late 90s when they got their act together?

Starting point is 02:37:15 It feels like it was later than that, wasn't it? Yeah, I think it was the late 90s. It was the late 90s they got their act together. And people were still using Yahoo until about, for most of the 90s, they got direct together and their people were still using Yahoo until about for most of the 90s. And because I always asked everybody about it. And they said, what's your using Google? Sergey Brin used to say, you should write a complicated question that is your search criteria.

Starting point is 02:37:38 Yeah. Well, try that. I think it's dumb. I think it's dumb. You're going to get a lot of stories. Google told me to do this. Google did this. Google did that. Well, I think it's dumb. I think it's dumb. You're going to get a lot of stories. Google told me to do this.

Starting point is 02:37:48 Google did this. Google did that. It's a PR nightmare, I tell you. Well, it's going to be for them because they always have inferior technology at some level when it comes to the AI. You can tell by their AI art where they are the American revolutionists all black. Blacks, yeah. Did you see the videos from that producer who sent it to us about the guy, I think he's

Starting point is 02:38:11 in Canada and he has the free zero point energy machine made of magnets? No, I didn't. So he shows this machine and he has like... Did we talk about this in the last show? Yes, someone donated and told us to look out for this. So the guy has this machine, there's two gears on one side and he has a piece of wood stuck in, he pulls the wood out and the thing just starts going and going and going.

Starting point is 02:38:40 He puts the wood back in and it stops. And then he dismantles the machine on video right before you to show there's no wires there's no wires it's all just magnetic energy. It's really fast I love this stuff it's very fascinating and then by coincidence if there's such a thing this video this news story pops up I think that they're trying to get rid of magnets altogether. New at 10, despite more safety rules, kids around the world continue swallowing magnets. The United States tops the list for the most incidents. A new study was published yesterday in the medical journal BMJ Injury Prevention. It found the US reported between 522 and 2000 magnet ingestion cases each year since 2016.

Starting point is 02:39:25 We've been warning you about this for a long time. Now in 2016, a ban on high powered magnets says was overturned, but in 2022, the Consumer Product Safety Commission set strict rules on the size and strength of loose magnets that could fit in a child's airway. Experts say the new studies suggest the safer regulations may not go far enough.

Starting point is 02:39:46 Here's a tip. Kids, stop eating magnets. That's a tip. All right, five minute warning, John. You're up. You can play your last clips. What was my last clip? I don't know. What do you got? I'm sure you got some. Well, I can play the dumb clips. This is a clip which just encourages archivists and hoarders to be on the lookout and this also tells me that Harvard is either the luckiest group or they're dumb because it took them this long to figure out what was going on. This is the Magna Carta clips. Yeah, this was an interesting, interesting story.

Starting point is 02:40:22 In 1946, Harvard University purchased what it thought was just a very old copy of the Magna Carta from a bookseller in London for $27.50. Now, 80 years later, that document has been identified as the real deal issued by King Edward I in the year 1300. NPR's Scott Newman has the story. The first version of the Magna Carta was produced in 1215. It outlined the rights of free men and the limits of the English monarchy. The Royal Charter of Liberties went through several iterations throughout the 13th century,

Starting point is 02:40:55 the last in the year 1300. Although few originals exist today, it's considered one of the most important legal documents in history. Centuries later, that legacy resurfaced when David Carpenter was searching through the Harvard Law School Library's online archives. The professor of medieval history at King's College London saw an item listed as a copy of the Magna Carta from 1327. So he clicked. And, no, behold, what do I see before my eyes but, but for all the world seemed to me an original of the 1300 Bagnacarta.

Starting point is 02:41:31 But he needed to be sure. So he enlisted Nicholas Vincent, a fellow professor of medieval history at the University of East Anglia, to help. The two approached Harvard with their hunch and requested an ultraviolet scan to get a better look. This is an odd story. I don't know. I saw it too.

Starting point is 02:41:51 I didn't. I think I quickly... Yeah, I just thought it was kind of fascinating, but it encourages people to be on the lookout, go to more flea markets. Yeah. Here we go. Jonathan Zittrain is a Harvard professor who heads the law library there. When he got the request from Carpenter and Vincent, he was intrigued but cautious.

Starting point is 02:42:11 You've got to tie together a number of threads to figure out the authenticity of something. And it's not always that there's a eureka moment where it's like, ah, yes. Zittrain says that without help from the UK scholars, Harvard may never have known what a great deal they struck all those years ago to own a treasure of world history. And of course it makes you wonder, uh, gosh, what else do we have between the couch cushions? No one knows exactly what Harvard's Magna Carta is worth, but in 2007, one authentic document

Starting point is 02:42:42 fetched $21.3 million at auction. Scott Newman, NPR News. Yes, this is indeed spurs on the archivist like yourself, which leads me to the question. Have you ever come across a gem of a find in your collection days? Yeah. Like what? Well, I was at an auction and I saw and there was a, they had, someone was auctioning off what I looked at and saw, oh, this is a daguerreotype. I should bid on it and nobody's bidding on it. I got it for a dollar. What's a

Starting point is 02:43:17 daguerreotype? Daguerreotype. It's a type of early photo. Oh. but it wasn't a daguerreotype at all. It was an Edward Curtis original photograph on a gold photograph on glass. Edward Curtis would be... He's an old photographer from the 1800s. And this piece is worth, it probably was worth $10,000. Whoa, whoa! $1 into $10,000? Yeah. You know what that is?

Starting point is 02:43:47 That's better than Bitcoin. Well, that's the only real deal that I've been holding on to this thing. I haven't gotten $10,000 out of it. ["On No Agenda"] I'm sorry, I just drowned you out. Yeah, I just said I haven't sold it so it's still worth $10,000. Supposedly.

Starting point is 02:44:10 I mean, I might get, it might only get five, but whatever it was, I only paid a dollar, which is the point. That's groovy, man. I'm very happy for you. Now where would you go to sell that? Another flea market? No, no, it would go to an auction house. It would go to Christie's.

Starting point is 02:44:24 Yeah, Christie's. They're probably calling you right now. Hey, he's got an original. No, you have to get it into one of the... I've auctioned stuff off and to do auctions right, you have to find a thematic auction. So you have like, in other words, if a big Edward Curtis auction took place where he had a lot of his stuff, it attracts all these collectors, that's when you get the money. Otherwise, you could get ripped off, chipped. Don't want that. But I haven't cashed in.

Starting point is 02:44:57 We have some beautiful end of show mixes on the way for you. John's tip of the day.

And when you go to one of these, you get connection that always gives you protection. NoAgendaMeetups.com. If you can't find one near you, start one yourself. Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.

Starting point is 03:01:40 You want to be where you want to be, triggered or held alame. It's like a party. I had one ISO and it's not working. Is this ISO not working? Hmm. That's interesting. Like 10 people sent me this ISO and, uh, and I don't know if it doesn't seem to want to load in my player. So I'll just see if it plays. If it doesn't, then the joke's on me.

Starting point is 03:02:16 You ready? Yeah. You know, I don't like dicks. There you go. You know, I don't like dicks. Yes, that was taken from the DHM Plug. From the DHM Plug show, yes. And we were talking about dick sporting goods. Yes, yes.

Starting point is 03:02:35 I thought it was a fine end of show, ISO. I don't think you agree with me. Well, it doesn't really apply to the show and it's like, you know, kind of a, it's somewhat profane the way it's clipped. Somewhat, yes. All right. So let's hear what you've got. I have four, but actually one of them doesn't, isn't a clip at all. It's just, I thought I'd play it just because it's a experiment. This is three back to back to back. Cause I'm just to let you know, I'm still working on it. This is what I'm working on.

Starting point is 03:03:03 And this is how far I've gotten. Yo, yo, yo, what up? Yo, yo, yo, what up? Yo, yo, yo, what up? No, none of them are even close. I'm getting there.
