Starting point is 00:00:00 Sorrows, sorrows, sorrows, sorrows. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, June 15, 2025. This is your award-winning Kimber Nation Media Assassination Episode 1773. This is No Agenda. No kings, no queens, no nukes. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number Six in the morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:26 I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we want to bring back the Fish Witch. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. The what now? Fish Witch. Fish Witch? Is that like a sandwich only stinky? It's a sandwich made from fish.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Well who... Fish witch. Whatever happened to that term? I've never even heard this term. You've never heard of a fish witch? That's why it needs to be brought back. No, of course. Yeah, it was a very popular term and I don't know when. No. The only fish sandwich I know is the filet-o-fish.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Yeah, the fish witch. It used to be called the fish witch. No, it's never been called the fish witch. Everybody out there tell him he's wrong again. You're making this up. I wish. Tell him he's wrong again. He's wrong. Hey happy Father's Day John. Happy Father's Day. Same to you, you're the father. You're a father. Yeah we're both fathers. Woo did you get any socks? You're a father? Yeah, we're both fathers. How about that? Woo! Did you get any socks? You know what?
Starting point is 00:01:27 I've had you notice there's no more father's gifts anymore. Now that you mention it, I haven't gotten a father's day gift forever. Yeah. I don't remember ever getting a father's day gift. Maybe a tie. No, I don't think so. No. These days it's like a text and maybe a tweet.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Maybe it's an insta post. Because it's the patriarchy. I love my daddy. I said so on Instagram. It's the truth. Socks. That's the best gift. Socks. Well, you were going to give your grandson socks.
Starting point is 00:02:04 I know and I bailed out on thecks. Well, you were going to give your grandson socks for his birthday. I bailed out on the idea. I saved you from embarrassment. One of our, in fact, I should put this as tip of the day. One of our producers came up with a, there's an American sock company that makes these socks already. They're super expensive, like $15 to $20 a pair. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:22 But lifetime guarantee, you get a hole in them, you send them back, you get a new pair. Really now? I thought that was a… If you start doing the calculation on this, it might not be a bad idea. Except for then I realized there's one problem. What's that? The socks that go missing. You always miss what we would…
Starting point is 00:02:39 You can't send back just one sock. You have to send back two. Is that the deal? I don't know if you have to send back… No, you probably just send back one, but what good does one sock do you? No, but if you just send back one, then you can get two pair for one pair. Send back a sock and say, hey, look, this is no good. And you send back the other sock later, you get two pairs for one.
Starting point is 00:02:59 If the sock's bad, they're going to repair it no matter what. I will say I've seen a remarkable decline in the quality of socks. I have these smart wool socks which Tina got me, which I like, but they don't last. They do not last. Then you put them on, there goes the hole in the heel. You know, Dame Asprey. There's no reason. There goes the hole in the heel. You know, Dame Asprey. There's no reason to ever have a hole in the heel. No. You know, holes in the toe, I can,
Starting point is 00:03:31 you can see you got a toenail, you never cut it right, or it's jagged in each of the sock. But the heel? No, I'm telling you. How do you get a hole in the heel? I have the same thing with, I got socks with holes in the heel. How does that work?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yes, it's no good. This is the nature of this show ladies and gentlemen Well, we're not talking about socks. I will say day mastered when she and sir Mark were over visiting Fredericksburg It was an interesting gift. She gave me three pairs of socks and They all have the the Japanese You know red circle on them, kind of like the flag. And they are the most comfortable, sturdy socks I have seen in a while.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I need to ask her what they're called. Track them down, make a tip of the day. Sock tip of the day, yeah. Really, really good socks. People, you know, socks just aren't appreciated the way they used to be Socks big deal. No, we just buys them at Costco So, of course everything happens on show days oh we had it was it's been a great couple of days we've had a Shooting up in Minnesota. We've had the bombing of Iran, we had the bombing of Israel, we had the whole thing with this our Joker senator, poor Jeffries, I
Starting point is 00:04:51 wanted to talk about the guy who charged Kristi Noem at the press conference and they got busted by the cops. He was forced to his knees like a slave. He was forced to his knees like a slave and I was forced to his knees like a slave. And I had a theory I talked to you about that I wanted to bring out on the show. Do you have a clip so you can kick into this theory? I don't have a clip of it, I don't. Nobody cares, just so you know, nobody cares.
Starting point is 00:05:15 But it's all, it's gone, I'd still have to bring the theory out. Okay, but all people want right now is, what's going on, what's going on with Iran, what's going on, World War III, what's going on? Yeah, we're gonna get to that. There's no doubt about it. But the point is, is that all these, all these other things were going on and just pushed aside and this guy's got to feel like the most unlucky character.
Starting point is 00:05:35 This guy is a Senator from California. No one ever heard of Padilla. And my thesis is the following. Gavin Newsom is not going to run for president in 2028 because he's got the stench of his lousy job he's done in California that will get him nowhere with the party. Because they'll just eat him alive in the debates. But he's going to be out of office in 2027, I think, or 2026.
Starting point is 00:06:03 So he's going to be out. He's got to do something to stay in the line. He's got to do something to stay in the line. He's got to do something to stay in there. And mayors know that. The only thing he can do is run for the US Senate in 2028, which is Padilla's seat is up. There you go. So Padilla has gotten wind of the fact that...
Starting point is 00:06:21 Wait, you mean this was a show? No. Gambling? Gambling? gotten wind of the fact that. So wait, you mean this was a show? No. Gambling? Gambling? It was a little show. Oh, interesting. So Padilla has to do something to get his profile up because no one's ever heard of him, he won't have a chance against Gavin Newsom.
Starting point is 00:06:40 And Newsom will take his seat in the Senate and then he'll be able to take pot shots at the president and then he'll run in 2036, which is the worst case scenario for him. Best case scenario could be even before then, 2032. But he can redeem himself with the Olympic Games. He could do something really awesome. Well, it won't help and they'll probably screw it up. So let's assume it's going to screw it up. But so anyway, but he's going to, so he'll run for the Padilla seat in 2028 and Padilla has to kind of maybe move over. Cause it was, I think Nat Newsome who appointed Padilla into the vacated seat
Starting point is 00:07:19 for Feinstein. And so we had Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. And then when they left, you had these doofuses running, you know, we should put women back. And so, so Newsom needs to run for Senate. So he can go to Washington DC with his wife and they can, he can make a fuss there and know what, and people will forget what a screw up he is and it'll be a legislator. And so he can run for president.
Starting point is 00:07:46 This whole thing, so Padilla got wind of this, this is no good, I'm not gonna be able to get kicked out, and so he makes a big fuss, try to get some publicity, and then boom, they bomb a ran. I mean, this guy's hopeless. I have a clip. I wanna say thank you. California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla
Starting point is 00:08:03 spoke out shortly after he was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security news conference about ICE immigration raids in Los Angeles. If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cuts, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill reacted to the incident during which Padilla was detained after he audibly identified himself as a senator. There can be no justification of seeing a senator
Starting point is 00:08:47 forced to their knees, laid flat on the ground, their hands twisted behind their back, and being put into restraints. It is beneath a U.S. senator. They're supposed to lead by example, and that is not a good example. We have to turn the temperature down in this country and not escalate it oh yeah okay well so that was nice little bit of theater that went no where
Starting point is 00:09:10 it was theater and he never he didn't have his badge on which they're supposed to carry to identify themselves as senators he mentions that he was a senator as they were dragging him off I saw the whole thing is bull crap yeah and this guy Alex and can't even remember his first name half the time. This guy is a, and if you listen to him, he's just a no good. He's a weak sounding kind of a beta male. He's done, he's done a prayer against Newsom. He's done. All right. Let's, let me get us into it with a little bit of background here from CBS and Operation Rising Lion.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion. He even says it that way. Rising Lion. Rising Lion. A targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat." Netanyahu said Iran, which has long threatened to eliminate Israel, has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs, adding that in
Starting point is 00:10:20 recent months Iran has taken steps to weaponize the nuclear material. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in the times. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program. The White House released a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying Israel's action against Iran is unilateral and the U.S. is not involved in the strikes. The statement
Starting point is 00:10:54 says quote, President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear, Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Yes, and remember they are just days away from a nuclear bomb, just days and days away. There's a lot going on here and a lot of different angles. I think there's certainly one that is not being discussed, but let's just get a quick backgrounder on the strikes themselves, Israel's Mossad intelligence agency carried out a multi-pronged covert operation deep inside Iran. Using advanced systems and explosive drones to strike multiple targets overnight, sources
Starting point is 00:11:43 told Euronews. Mossad deployed systems equipped with precision-guided weaponry deep inside Iranian territory, a source from Israeli intelligence told Euronews on condition of anonymity. These systems were activated as the Israeli military offensive began, launching precision-guided missiles at pre-selected targets. In a separate operation, Mossad secretly installed strike systems designed to neutralize Iranian air defenses that, according to Israel, posed a threat to its fighter jets. A third operation was mounted in which Mossad established a base for launching explosive drones deep inside Iran.
Starting point is 00:12:21 During the attack, these drones were launched from that base towards a nearby military installation. So there are a couple of things that were kind of lost in our stellar mainstream reporting here at the M5M. One is the people of the streets of Tehran cheering who were happy that this was taking place. Multiple, even Forbes had, but no one has any report. It's just video of people going out. Yeah, let's do it. Let's get those suckers. The only report I could find of who was targeted comes from France 24.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Iran's nuclear program and its top tier of military commanders and nuclear scientists, all targeted by Israel in one night of airstrikes. General Hussein Salami is among those killed by the strikes in Tehran. With his death confirmed by Iranian media, leader of the Revolutionary Guards Corps since 2019, Salami was responsible for securing Iran's borders and safeguarding it against any foreign attacks. His forces control Iran's missile arsenal and he was one of the pillars of the regime.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Known for his fiery rhetoric against the United States and its allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, he played a key role in suppressing the internal protests of 2019 and 2022. Also killed was Mohammed Barhari, chief of the staff of the armed forces since 2016. He's one of the Islamic Republic's most senior officers and the driving force behind Iran's ballistic missile program. Another military loss has been Hulam Ali Rashid, deputy chief of staff and the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters, tasked with the military operational decision-making. Salami, Bahri and Rashid were long-term members of the Revolutionary Guards and fought in
Starting point is 00:14:13 the Iran-Iraq War. Iranian media and senior officials have also reported the death of Ali Shamkhani, the senior former navy commander and one of Iran's most influential politicians was a confidant of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to several sources, at least six nuclear scientists were killed, including Fereydoun Abbasi and Mohammed Mehdi Tehranchi. The death of these high profile figures shows the sheer scale of the Israeli operation. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have vowed to take revenge
Starting point is 00:14:46 after the death of their leader. So, you know, everyone focused on the nuclear, nuclear, nuclear, the nuclear scientists, but there's a lot of leadership there that got taken out. Yeah, all military, no civilian. Well, I don't know if, I'm sure there can always be civilian casualties, but these were the guys that they... No, no, but civilian leadership, they didn't know if I'm sure this can always be civilian casualties, but these were the guys. No, I'm talking about civilian leadership. They didn't target them.
Starting point is 00:15:08 No. I ended up watching the analysis of the Middle East Forum guys who were on YouTube streaming. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I wonder if we came to the same conclusion. What did you see? They talked about this thing being large, possibly a catalyst for regime change. And yes, yes, like a black woman there. And, and they, and they, they, the guys there and the MEF, they all knew every there and on the MEF they all knew every single guy and they also talked about how they they since the revolution in 1979 this bet you spent 46 years and so you end up with a lot generational loss of excitement he says that everybody in
Starting point is 00:16:03 the army and every place else one of these guys who the better analysis guys he says they're just a bunch of kids slouches who hate it they hate it they they go to the classes and listen to the propaganda and they don't believe a word of it right if they if these guys are put in a situation we have to go to war they're not gonna fight he says the whole thing is this yeah a house of cards. I mean, I don't think there's something very different going on that I is flabbergasting.
Starting point is 00:16:33 This is just no reporting on. So there's a couple of different narratives. The main one is nuclear, nuclear, nuclear, nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons. The other one, I even talked to a buddy of mine who worked at Doge. He's like, man, Israel's drawn us into a war. They're drawn us into a war. I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I even see some trolls like, I thought America controlled Israel. Well, they do. That's exactly right. They do. That's exactly right. And even Tucker is on the wrong path. Tonight, MAGA divided Donald Trump's support for Israel's actions against Iran is splitting his own base, pitting Israel hawks against those who fear the United States is being
Starting point is 00:17:16 pulled into an even bigger regional fight. But remember, when the president campaigned on this message. I will stop the chaos in the Middle East and I will prevent World War III. I'm going to keep us out of World War III. We're not going to have World War III. But I will prevent World War III. Former Fox host Tucker Carlson sent Trump a stern warning this morning in his newsletter, quote, the United States should not at any level participate in a war with Iran.
Starting point is 00:17:44 No funding, no American troops, no troops on the ground. Drop Israel. Let them fight their own wars. What happens next will define Donald Trump's presidency. Well, I think he's really doing something quite interesting that just nobody is, I mean, I had to go to foreign sources to get anything even close as to what I think is really happening here. And all this talk about nuclear war, there's not going to be a nuclear war. Israel's not going to drop a nuke, not going to shoot a nuke from a sub.
Starting point is 00:18:13 That's not going to happen. Iran has no nuclear weapons. This is pew pew and they're taking out leadership. And I think you're right. The talk of regime change is close and for good reason. There's one other thing that was not well discussed. I did catch this very short clip. An Israeli drone strike has hit a natural gas refinery in southern Iran, one of the
Starting point is 00:18:36 largest gas fields in the world. The attack took place at Kangan Port. That's a part of the South Pass gas field, which is Iran's side of a joint gas field shared with Qatar. So military-sized nuclear facilities and civilian infrastructure for a second day now. So that is a very strategic move to take out the gas refinery or when it comes to traditional resources which Iran has a lot of. And there's reasons for this. Even though we certainly discussed that Iran joined the BRICS group last year. It hasn't really been discussed much and it's odd, but I found a very good overview of something
Starting point is 00:19:33 that happened just 10 days ago on, I think it's the India Times news. So take the reporting, the way it's read. But I thought that this really sums up what's going on here and why there was 60-day negotiation. Yeah, sure, it's about nuclear weapons, but that's not all. Trump wants to do a deal with Iran because he wants to outsmart some other guys. In a stunning geopolitical power play that could reshape the balance of power in West Asia. The first freight train from China has officially arrived in Iran. While this might sound like a simple trade link, it's anything but that. The rail route cuts through more than just land.
Starting point is 00:20:19 It slices through decades of American sanctions, power projections and military dominance. This is not just a train arriving in a dry port near Tehran. This is China and Iran punching a hole through America's global influence. The freight train traveling overland from Xi'an in China to Ibrin dry port in Iran. The train journey slashes delivery time by half. It bypasses sea routes like the Malacca Strait and Red Sea, both under watchful Western naval surveillance, and instead passes through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, reaching Iran in just 15 days. This railroad is a direct outcome
Starting point is 00:21:05 of a 400 billion dollar economic deal signed in 2021. A key part of China's ambitious Belt and Road Initiative. The goal? To build an economic corridor that completely dodges the reach of the US Navy and any future sanctioned regime. It's a masterstroke. While
Starting point is 00:21:26 Washington focuses on sea lanes and maritime choke points, Beijing and Tehran have quietly laid steel tracks where US warships can't follow. The arrival of this train doesn't just move goods, it moves the goalposts in the global power game. For China, this means a more secure energy source, away from the Middle Eastern monarchies allied with Washington. For Iran, it's a pathway out of economic isolation. This new rail link also complements Iran's control over the Strait of Hormones. It's a strategic choke point for global oil. With China now entrenched in both Iranian oil and trade, Beijing has extended its influence
Starting point is 00:22:14 deep into what was once considered America's exclusive zone of influence. And that's what it's really about. This is, I'm sorry for our friend Andrew Horowitz. This is about China. This is about China's Belt and Road. And to do this during the 60 day negotiation, oh, choo choo, here we are. The train goes this way, we load it up, the train goes the other way. You were telling me just the other day
Starting point is 00:22:40 that we've got tons of trains filled with coal and then it gets put on the ship, shipped over to China, to India, all these places. Yeah, we're shipping our coal over there. We can't have that coming from Iran. No, and yes, no, no, yes, they have incredible influence over the shipping lanes and they're telling us about it. Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander said closing the Strait of Hormuz is under consideration in response to Israeli attacks. But what could this mean for Europe? The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most strategically vital choke points in the world and any blockade by Iran would pose serious risks for Europe.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Roughly 20% of global oil and a significant portion of natural gas pass through the strait. If Iran blocks it, global oil prices would spike and Europe could face energy shortages. A sudden oil price surge would increase inflation, energy costs and disrupt industries across Europe. Manufacturing, transport and agriculture would be especially vulnerable. Beyond oil, the strait is a key route for global shipping. Disruption could delay European imports of raw materials. A blockade could also trigger military confrontations involving US or EU navies, risking a broader regional war.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Now, knowing how we've always operated since the Vietnam War, it's like we can't get American boys and girls to go fight in the desert again. That's a non-starter. So what do you do? You tell the people who hate those other people to go and do something. So yes, we used our aircraft carrier in the Middle East to launch some strikes. I think it's more fun. It's your people. There's all kinds of destruction.
Starting point is 00:24:28 But taking out the leadership is what this was about, weakening them so that we can block what China is doing. And this is this is the big game. It's much bigger than than Israel versus Iran and Netanyahu. What a pawn. They always want to kill us.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah, OK. This is about whose money will be the world currency, who has the resources, who sells the resources, who is in charge of the resources, meaning oil, gas, minerals. And there's land and there's always some hooker involved somewhere. It's always the same. And so now everyone's talking about the multipolar world, the multipolar world like Jeffrey Sachs, Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander. I'm sorry. This one.
Starting point is 00:25:17 We have a new arrangement of power because these other parts of the world have made a lot of economic and technological progress. So China was a poor country 40 years ago. It is now a quite wealthy and technologically advanced country. I'd say it's at the cutting edge of many of the most important technologies. How did they get there? Very hard work, very high investment rates, very good strategy, serious planning. They thought ahead. They worked hard at it and they were successful. This is the main fact.
Starting point is 00:25:50 They stole intellectual property. The second fact is a basic fact. Well, Sax is not necessarily a good guy, in my opinion. A technological fact. I would say if he doesn't drop that little bombshell in there. Which we kind of understood in the cold war and kind of forgot after 1991, but shell in there. So the world's intrinsically multipolar in the sense, don't mess with another nuclear superpower, it can really wreck your day. And we forgot that after 1991. Why 1991? That was the year that the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 states.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And the American elite said, okay, now we really are all alone. We are the world's sole superpower. We treated Russia absolutely stupidly, abused our power, which was real, but abused it to the point where we ended up having a full-fledged war. It's in a way a proxy war in Ukraine. Yeah, this is what this is what the game is about. I love the trolls now, John, you'd love the trolls. They're like, oh, the Jew money must have come in to conquer this BS.
Starting point is 00:27:22 This is so funny. Now they're just trolling for trolling. Say some analysis clips when you want to get. Well, what is your thoughts on this really being about China? I'm interested. This is what I conclude. I like the thesis. It's not going to be brought up by too many people. Probably you're the only one.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Yeah. But again, I think by pulling the clips that only No agenda can do from India and other places that nobody else cares about, you can piece it together and I think you make it work. And I think the gas field, you know, blown up gas field, one of the biggest in the world, someone might point out that the Chinese are relying on, they want to maybe bring some liquefied natural gas over or whatever products they can get from Iran, good catch. I don't think it's all about the Chinese, but I think the Chinese, in so far as the American
Starting point is 00:28:13 perspective and the fact that we're controlling the action no matter what anyone wants to believe, and we let Israel think that they're, oh yeah, why don't you go, okay. And these analysis clips that I have will actually kind of back that up because it's like, especially this one guy, the ambassador to the United States, he, which would be the last clip, he just outlines the process that created the outlines the process that created the go-ahead. In other words, there had to be a go-ahead because somebody told Netanyahu not to do this in April. Yeah, needed a trigger. But again, this, and then I want to hear you close, but it boils down to this. Either America is running the show with our money and our resources, or China runs the show.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And you don't really want China running the show. You worry about Peter Thiel and Palantir, wait until China takes over. Oh, China's, you don't, no, you don't want China running the show. They're not, they're, they're good at what they do. They're no good at running the show. I mean, I'd rather have the Brits. Brits over Bricks, I tell you. We talk about this at the dinner table about how the Brits are, you know, they're the ones
Starting point is 00:29:30 that we've talked about on the show. They're the real, I mean, that's where we get all our skill sets for international management. I've been to some of this, I went to an IBM seminar once where they did, the whole thing was on international management IBMers know how to do this the Brits know how to do it the best They ran India that nobody else could run we couldn't do it They you know they write they have a very interesting type of management skill that nobody else can do and they and people don't The Brit the Indians still don't mind the Brits. They don't like us, they might not like the Chinese, but the Brits can do management at a highest international level
Starting point is 00:30:11 because of the nature of their empire and how they formed it and how they develop management skills that we copied from them. The Chinese haven't got a clue. The Chinese classic Chinese management is the Chinese apartment building owner. You pay now! You pay now! And their whole idea of marketing, you know, best price. They're clueless. They're horrible. That's true. It's not a friendly way of marketing. I'm in full agreement. So we don't want the Chinese running everything. They run themselves fine. They're very good at managing large projects.
Starting point is 00:30:51 In fact, they can do that better than I think anybody if you start looking at the history of China and some of the stuff that happened in the past where they had fleets of 5,000 ships and they were well managed because the Chinese can manage each other, but they can't manage other cultures. No.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Look at the mess they make in Africa. And Iran- Yeah, in Africa, they make a mess and they know it. And look, Iran is weak and President Trump, he was doing the 60-day negotiation and it wasn't just about nukes. No, it's like, hey, stop that nonsense with these Chinese. We can't have that. You just can't have it.
Starting point is 00:31:36 And it may sound like a dictator, but yeah, Pax Americana, baby. We can't have that. I understand exactly what he's doing. And then, okay, you want to do that? You don't want to talk? All right. And then he calls Netanyahu and then they go in with the Mossad and their drones. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Israel's controlling us. That's why the bombs are falling on Tel Aviv. Please, please, people. That's a lost cause. If people want to think that Israel runs the world, they got to screw loose. Don't you know about AIPAC? Yeah, AIPAC controls Congress. Absolutely. But where does AIPAC money come from? It comes from the American Israeli Education Foundation. Go look at the Form 990. I did it
Starting point is 00:32:25 It all comes from Raytheon Boeing. It's the military industrial complex Eisenhower did not warn for the Jewish Israeli industrial complex. No, he warned us for the military industrial complex. I Think you should stop beating this up. I Won't why would I we did the same with COVID. We did the same with Ukraine. Why? Because it's fruitless. It's not fruitless. You'll never convert those, the people that think that way.
Starting point is 00:32:53 You're an idealist when it comes to this one topic. I am. And you know what? It's never about the people. The people, the Iranians, they don't want this nonsense. The Israelis, they don't want this nonsense. And we certainly don't want this nonsense. And I doubt the Chinese people want it either. This is big game, big cojones.
Starting point is 00:33:12 We'll see how it goes. So far, no bombs dropped on America. Feeling pretty good. Let's play this. This is the Iran, this is one, one of the analysis pieces from PBS, this is the standalone one says Iran, Israel anal. And for a wider perspective, we turn now to Wendy Sherman,
Starting point is 00:33:34 who was the lead negotiator for the nuclear agreement with Iran during the Obama administration. She served as US Deputy Secretary of State during the Biden administration and is currently a senior fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. And Wale Nasser is a professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. And he's also the author of Iran's Grand Strategy of Political History. Our thanks to you
Starting point is 00:33:58 both for joining us. Wendy Sherman, we'll start with you. The US says it was not involved in Israel's strikes against Iran's nuclear sites. But is this attack, in your view, is it aligned with U.S. interests or does it introduce new and unpredictable risks for U.S. forces and regional stability? I think it certainly introduces a lot of risk for all of the military personnel, some 40,000 in the region and the hundreds of thousands of Americans in Israel, as well as in the wider region. There is no question that all of us don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. That was the whole reason that President Obama asked Secretary Clinton, Secretary Kerry,
Starting point is 00:34:42 and myself to work hard to get a joint comprehensive plan of action with Iran to put constraints on its nuclear program. Donald Trump, in his first term as president, as you know, in 2018, pulled out of that deal. I don't think we'd be where we are today if that hadn't happened. Yeah, we'd have a nuclear-armed Iran if it hadn't happened. This is somebody serving her own purposes. Well, she's from Johns Hopkins. What do you expect?
Starting point is 00:35:15 It was a terror. So PBS is useless, but they did bring in the ambassador from Israel. He was making the rounds, the ambassador. He was all over the news today. Well, that's what you do. He was making the rounds, the ambassador. He was all over the news today. Yeah, well, that's what you do. He was all over the news today. We can play his. I got three clips from him.
Starting point is 00:35:32 The last one is the only good one, but we'll play the clip one. For more on Israel's goals and what comes next, we're joined now by the Israeli ambassador to the US, Yahil Leiter. Ambassador Leiter, welcome back to the NewsHour. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Amnad, it's good to be with you. I want to begin by asking you about the latest we're seeing of the extraordinary Iranian missile attacks unfolding over Tel Aviv at this moment.
Starting point is 00:35:56 As we speak, what can you tell us about the latest on the ground? What kind of damage has been inflicted so far in Israel? Well, we know at present there are 35 people injured right outside of Tel Aviv, two critically. We're praying for their survival. Iran has a very large array of ballistic missiles. They have fired them in the past, both in April and in October. At that time, we were able to intercept them. Several have gotten through this time, a total of 85 in this barrage. These are huge missiles.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Huge. And we do have sustained injuries. A U.S. official said today that the U.S. military is helping to intercept some of those Iranian missiles. Are you expecting U.S. military is helping to intercept some of those Iranian missiles. Are you expecting U.S. forces to participate more deeply than that when it comes to defending Israel? Is that something that Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump spoke about today? The United States has had our back, both in April and October.
Starting point is 00:37:00 There are anti-aircraft missiles that have been set in the Middle East to help support our Iron Dome system. This is a barrage of dozens of missiles all at the same time, and it needs a support system. And we're very, very thankful for the defensive posture that the United States has taken now for a third time in helping to prevent these missiles from exacting dramatic damage on our civilian population. Yeah, that Iron Dome seems a bit buggy. You know, I'm reminded, do you remember the Scud days?
Starting point is 00:37:40 The Scud stud, of course I do. The Scud stud. The Scud stud, yes. And the Scuds were going up. I went and visited Israel a year after that event. And everybody in Israel said that the Patriot missiles hit nothing. And the only thing that was blowing up up there is the Scuds were such junk that when they were reaching their
Starting point is 00:38:05 apogee, they just fall apart. Everybody's scuds. So, okay, part two. We have to erase this threat to our existence. This is not a border dispute. This is a threat to our existence. And they make no secret about it. The Iranian regime has made a very concrete plan. It's actually a printed plan in which it calls for the destruction of the state of Israel. And that's not something we can live with. For us, it's existential. We saw Prime Minister Netanyahu say that obviously part of the goal here is preventing Iran from becoming nuclear armed.
Starting point is 00:38:42 But we also heard him speak directly to the Iranian people. He said, we're also clearing the path for you to achieve your freedom. This is your opportunity to stand up and let your voices be heard. Ambassador, is regime change in Iran part of the goal here? Well, it's not part of our goal. If it facilitates the goal of the Iranian people, that's fine. But regimes have to be determined by the people. That's how the democratic process works.
Starting point is 00:39:10 So we don't focus on regime change. We want militarization change. We want the annihilationist ideology of the regime to change. If the Iranian people rise up as they've tried to do in the past and change their regime, that's for them to decide, not for us to decide. Yeah. Well, of course. I like the annihilationist, I think is a nice term that he threw in. Now there was an interesting
Starting point is 00:39:37 point he made in there, which has been brought up. It hasn't gotten a lot of play, but it came and went. This is the printed plan. Now this falls in kind of in line with your thinking about China. There's, you know, they, they keep claiming and saying, and I believe it's probably true that the Iranians would like to get a nuke any minute. Yeah. And, uh, and they couldn't, and they, you know, they just kept saying, well,
Starting point is 00:40:03 you know, we're not, that's not what we're trying to do here. And yeah, you are. And so that then about, I think it was about six months to a year ago, whenever it was, there was a raid at some place that got blowed up and there was a, and they found a printed plan. They found a printed plan, which is what he mentioned. And it was a printed plan. They had the entire, um, outline of what he mentioned. And it was a printed plan. They had the entire, um, outline of what they were, how they get to a new nuclear weapon and ballistic missiles. And they're going to, you know, own the area.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And this printed plan was brought to the four, I think it was even brought in front of the United nations. It's quite possible that this pre cause for one thing, you can't go on and on about how unbelievable the Mossad is, how they've penetrated this and that. And the other thing in, in Iran with all their spies, uh, you can't say that they're that great and then make no assumption that the printed plan could be bull crap
Starting point is 00:41:02 planted by the Mossad, planted by us, the CIA could have read. The whole thing, very carefully structured, printed plan that just coincidentally they found in a blowed up place. Like a passport found near the Twin Towers. Yeah, the passport found near the Twin Towers. So you have to make the assumption that there's a printed plan that was just coincidentally found in this spot. It could be bull crap.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And there is no printed plan, but it's something they're using as leverage because the whole thing seems to be, you know, it's, it's just well, it's too well structured. I mean, it doesn't help that, you know, the bombs are flying every which way and people are getting killed. But yeah, I'm skeptical by a lot of this stuff. But I think he wraps it up with how this all got triggered in the third clip. As you know, there were ongoing talks between the US and Iran to restrict their nuclear program when Israel struck Iran.
Starting point is 00:41:56 There was another round scheduled for this Sunday. Do you want to see those talks move forward? Do you have confidence that they could reach a deal? We'd like to see the talks move forward, but we're not confident that the Iranians will come around to a deal. We were skeptical from the outset. We encouraged the talks because it's important to try to pursue a path of negotiation rather than a military one. But the fact of the matter is that the Iranians are ideologically and theologically committed to destroying Israel, and they have no intention whatsoever of drawing back their nuclear program,
Starting point is 00:42:33 nuclear weaponization program. Look, the fact of the matter is that the President of the United States gave the Iranians 60 days. Yesterday was the 61st day. It's over, number one. Number two, the IAEA issued a scathing report. This is not an Israeli report. This is an international atomic agency report, which basically indicted the Iranian regime for violations and for the development of a nuclear weapons program. And we see, this is the most important point,
Starting point is 00:43:05 we see in our intel that they're racing forward to achieve the weaponization of enriched uranium. That means a nuclear bomb. That changes the world. And for us, it changes the entire equation because it endangers our very existence. We can't live with that. I think the whole nuclear bomb thing is just, it's just the ploy. Everyone be afraid, be afraid,
Starting point is 00:43:29 be afraid. Nuclear bomb Iran's, they're just days away, weeks away, any moment now they're going to nuclear bomb. No, we're going to, we're totally going to spark regime change. I'm not quite sure what the mechanism's going to be, but it seems like the Iranians are ready for it. sure what the mechanism is going to be, but it seems like the Iranians are ready for it. And well, according to the MEP guys, the Middle East Forum, M-E-F, Middle East Forum guys, they say that the way it's structured right now that Khomeini, the guys running the show, the grand pooba, He is the, he's seen as being very weak because of the bombing that took place. There was no protection for the civilians and there's bombs flying every which way.
Starting point is 00:44:13 And now they've lost, they've lost faith in the Grand Wizard and his group of Mullahs. And everybody thinks that they're ripe to be overthrown and maybe hung by the yard arm. And if there's going to be any other military intervention, I can tell you who's next. Saudi Arabia, Trump was just over there. Hey, I got some stuff for you guys. Didn't he just sell them like a whole bunch
Starting point is 00:44:41 of death-defying rockets? Didn't we have a clip on that? You think the Saudis would invade Iran? No, no, no. Lob some stuff over. They've been fighting Iran forever. Lob some stuff over, maybe. They've been fighting Iran forever. I know they have.
Starting point is 00:44:57 The Houthis. The proxy war with Saudi Arabia and Iran was the Houthi War. Yeah. In South Yemen. Yeah, but it's still a proxy war. It's still against… Let me see. I think I have this clip.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Let me see. United States President Donald Trump wrapped up his Middle East tour on Friday that saw him visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and was the last stop in the United Arab Emirates. In this first visit to the UAE by a US president since 2008. The two countries pledged to strengthen ties and announced deals totaling over $200 billion. This includes a partnership with the UAE to build a massive AI data center. Okay, AI. And for the Gulf state to buy advanced AI semiconductors from US companies. I'm sure there was bombs in there.
Starting point is 00:45:42 It's said it will buy 28 US-made Boeing aircraft in a deal worth $14.5 billion, while Abu Dhabi, I'm sure there was bombs in there. and resulted in a string of lucrative deals for both Washington and the three countries. Trump boarded Air Force One in Abu Dhabi. I thought that we had a clip somewhere where he sold a whole bunch of these killer missiles. Well, maybe, but the point is, I think he went there in the first place to soften them up for this attack by Israel because he had to set that up in advance. I think you're right. To make sure it wasn't going to go sideways. for this attack by Israel, because he had to set that up in advance. To make sure it wasn't going to go sideways. Meanwhile, of course, the usual suspects are jumping up and down.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Mr. Military Industrial Complex himself, or should I say Mrs. Lady G. Game on everybody, it's game on. It's South Carolina. Don't they have Boeing? Isn't that like the big military production state? I believe there is a Boeing plant in South Carolina. But have a look at what-
Starting point is 00:46:53 This is, I think, this is your Kirsten Welker with I think Rand Paul, let me see. But have a look at what Senator Lindsey Graham argues should happen if Iran does not come to the negotiating table. He says he says quote if Iran refuses this offer of the United States I strongly believe it is an America's national security interest to go all in to help Israel finish the job. How do you respond to Senator Graham's call to go all in? Well his initial response was game on.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I don't consider war to be a game. The hundreds of thousands of people that potentially will now die on both sides. You know, for a couple thousand years, we've had this discussion over what is just war. Not only our civilization, but other civilizations have had this discussion. And one of the things that many people
Starting point is 00:47:44 came to a conclusion was that preemptive or preventative war wasn't just. And so there is that. But there is also the idea that what happens to Iran, you imagine what happens in Iran now. Do they coalesce around their government, even though their government is unpopular? Does nationalism thrive? And you would think that they would probably be less likely to want to negotiate at this
Starting point is 00:48:03 time, particularly when they may feel that negotiations were a ruse to put them at ease until the bombing happened So I think it's gonna be very hard to come out of this and have a negotiated settlement I see more war and more carnage and it's not the US's job to be involved in this war Iraq was a mess Afghanistan was a mess and one of the things I like about President Trump is he has shown restraint. And so I think his instincts are to not be involved in this war, but there'll be a lot of pressure from Lindsey Graham and others to get involved in this war. And I hope that his instincts will prevail. I thought there was another.
Starting point is 00:48:40 It's a little standard blather. Yeah. Yeah. There was another, let me see. I think I had another one from Lindsey Graham. Where was it? Hmm, hold on a second. Yeah, Lindsey Graham, he's, you know, he's got Boeing in his pocket and somebody's in somebody's pocket.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Here he is. This is from this morning. By the way, it's not just Lindsey Graham. It is the unlikely dynamic duo of Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, the peaceniks at work. I think there is really no obstacle- And this is about Iran and Russia. To our moving ahead with these bone crushing sanctions. Even if oil prices spike because of what's happening in the Middle East?
Starting point is 00:49:24 We are now energy independent when it comes to oil, the United States. You're kind of giving the game away here, by the way. It's like, it's about oil, it's about oil, it's about oil, I mean nukes. We are now energy independent when it comes to oil, the United States. Europe has weaned itself off Russian oil. Europe is solidly behind these sanctions. And we've incorporated flexibility in this bill based on our national security for a potential waiver where our interests are concerned unforeseeably
Starting point is 00:49:58 or unknowably right now. We've incorporated exemptions for our European allies who are aiding Ukraine in the billions of dollars, giving them a little bit more time to adjust. This is a carefully- They get 20% of their gas from Russia.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Right? What he says that there's three categories. If you're not doing business with Russia, you don't have anything to worry about. If you're doing business with Russia, but you're helping Ukraine,
Starting point is 00:50:22 you have a carve out for 270 days. If you're doing business with Russia and not helping Ukraine, you're screwed. The president can waive part of all of this based on our national interests. But to the people who wonder, should we pay a price for our freedom we have in the past, go to Arlington. All prices will go up- Oh, brother. Isn't that horrible? If we confront Russia through our bill. All prices will go up if we try to confront Iran for their nuclear
Starting point is 00:50:47 Ambitions, but you pay now you pay later if we get a run, right and we get peace with Russia Ukraine Not only do all prices come down the world will be better off So this idea of having freedom and not sacrificing never existed nor does it exist now I'll go sacrifice yourself. Wow, what a crock. I mean, just goes on with all the every bromide and cliche you can imagine. I mean, I truly think that President Trump is just trying to get he's just let's just compete. Let's do everything.
Starting point is 00:51:18 But you know, China, you guys don't know what you're talking about. Look, go look at Africa. You don't want China in your country. You don't want to do business with China. This just you don't want what you're talking about. Look, go look at Africa. You don't want China in your country. You don't want to do business with China. You don't want that. You would rather have the Chinese run the world over us? I don't think so. I think he's truly trying to make this work. I don't know if it's possible, but I think it's worth the shot. You got no King's Day and you got all the rest of his, he's doing what he can do. No King's Day. What a dud that was. It was a dud. Well, you think that, what, not according to the Brits?
Starting point is 00:51:57 You mean the British media? If you have time to change topics. Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, BBC. I want to play some BBC stuff here, including their analysis of the parade, which was in competition with no King's peaceful protests. Let me find the right clip to start with. Here we go. Let's start with the BBC says the Trump parade was a no-show. President Trump has hosted a massive military parade in Washington DC to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
Starting point is 00:52:30 The parade told the story of the military from the Battle of Lexington until the present day. It included thousands of troops, tanks and military equipment and flyovers and ended with a fireworks display and a concert. In his speech, Mr. Trump... Do you think the Brits are a little sour about the whole Battle of Lexington thing, maybe? Is that maybe why they're... I don't know. Are you playing this report and you get your eyes will roll? Okay....and ended with a fireworks display and a concert. In his speech, Mr. Trump paid tribute
Starting point is 00:53:02 to those who fought for America throughout the years. Time and again America's enemies have learned that if you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you, your defeat will be certain, your demise will be final, and your downfall will be total and complete. Because our soldiers never give up, never surrender and never ever quit. They fight, fight, fight and they win, win, win. Our North America correspondent, Nomiya Iqbal was at the parade and she joins me now live from Washington.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Did they say, did the BBC guys say mr. Trump instead of President Trump I Missed it if they did I think so. Yeah, it's very typical. No, man. What can you tell us? What did it look like? It was quite the spectacle. There's no doubt. So I think there was something quite strange seeing armored vehicles and tanks and Rolling down the streets in DC. It really had everything you had. Thousands of soldiers in historical uniforms, there was flyovers, there were even robot dogs. And there were crowds here but the Trump administration is claiming up to 250,000 people here. We know Donald Trump loves crowd sizes but there definitely wasn't that number here. It was pretty overcast.
Starting point is 00:54:25 There were a few thousand here. There were lots of empty seats where I'm stood right now on the mall just in front of me. You know, there weren't a lot of people here. I always loved the… There were a few thousand? I always loved the grammar. A few thousand where I stood here, or where you stand, or where you were standing. The seats were empty.
Starting point is 00:54:46 There were just a few thousand. Yeah, no one was there. No. This is bull crap. There was very little television coverage for sure. And I will say that it did not look as good as it could have because of the overcast sky. That definitely… It didn't rain.
Starting point is 00:55:02 It didn't rain, but it didn't make it look, I, I think the way that the president would have wanted it to look. But they make it sound, nobody showed up. Well, of course, you know, they're all protesting. And in fact, you play the clip. Here's the BBC on the, no Kings, peaceful protests, protests. Oh wait, I'm sorry. They'll go to the parade too part because I, I actually, let me play this. Play Parade 2 birthday. And then I want to play a couple other clips.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Okay. Was Parade 2 birthday 3? Is that the one you want? Yes. Yes. Okay, it's a little confusing. Donald Trump sees the military and his command of it as a sign of his own strength.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And he's been flexing that from coast to coast. Yeah, and it is of course Mr Trump's birthday. It is but he claims that's just a coincidence although again you know those who are against the President will not buy that and interestingly at the start of the parade when he took to the platform and there was the Hail the Chief and a group singing him Happy Birthday like a mini choir, it wasn't quite clear who they were singing Happy Birthday to. Him, the Army.
Starting point is 00:56:12 I mean, it coincidentally fell on his birthday, but for his critics, they believe that that's no coincidence. No coincidence, it's his birthday. It's no coincidence that his birthday fell on the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US Army. It's a coincidence. He was planned. He was a planned baby. It was planned.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Birthday one, PBS. Hold on a second. The occasion, the US Army's 250th birthday, which happens to coincide with President Trump's own birthday. Oh, oh, oh. To make a point, birthday to PBS. How did his vision for a Bastille Day style parade evolve into this event, marking the Army's 250th anniversary, which also happens to fall on President Trump's own birthday?
Starting point is 00:57:00 How did he do it? How did he do it? It fell, unbelievable, It fell on his birthday. Here's birthday, here birthday false comparison. How is the Pentagon responding to concerns that the military is being politicized? There are critics who have compared this parade to authoritarian spectacles, the types you see in China, Russia, North Korea. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:23 We had a No Kings Day in Fredericksburg. Oh, did you take photos? Oh, there's tons of video and photos. And so they're all standing outside the courthouse, which is actually no longer the courthouse. I think they've turned it into a library. Yeah, that's the same thing in Port Angeles. They've been standing in front of some. Yeah, or actually maybe storage and they're planning to into a library. Which yeah, that same thing in Port Angeles, they stand in front of some. Yeah, or actually maybe storage and they're planning to expand the library there. But there's only like six people in Port Angeles that do this.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Well, the same six old farts. There were probably 50 to 100. Yeah, it was quite a few. And they all were waving. 100? Yeah, they were. Oh, yeah. They were all waving American flags and they all held up signs and said,
Starting point is 00:58:04 Happy birthday birthday I hope it's your last what yeah yeah I'd get the Secret Service on that person well that's threatening the president's calling for his death that's what it sounds like hoping they're just hoping they're just hoping that's okay whatever it's fine yeah the other last BBC clip is the one on No King's peaceful protests. Peaceful, very peaceful. Mass protests against the Trump administration taking place
Starting point is 00:58:34 across the US. The organizers of the No King's rallies accuse Mr. Trump of overstepping his presidential powers. Some of the anger has been sparked by recent raids and arrests by immigration officials across the country. Right now I think our constitutional rights are being violated, stepped on, trampled on and disregarded by President Donald Trump. Everything looks unlawful to me at this point in America. I believe that Donald Trump is destroying our country. He has sold out democracy to the highest bidder.
Starting point is 00:59:07 He is really only in this for himself. The events of the past week have been distressing, to say the least. I don't like the reach that the current administration has over our country. Some of the biggest protests are in Los Angeles from where I'm joined by our North America correspondent John Sudworth. John we're seeing video of police really facing off against protesters what's what's the mood like? Yeah so in the last hour and a half or so it's turned slightly more confrontational I've just seen at the top of the streets, probably 30,
Starting point is 00:59:45 40 metres from where I'm standing, the police moving forward on horseback and pushing the crowd away from that junction. A couple of loud bangs, hard to know from here. No sign of tear gas, so that's possibly rubber bullets they're firing as they're doing that too. The junction I'm on is relatively peaceful. There's a line of LAPD riot police helmets on holding their battens. A couple of them have the baton round guns, those rubber bullet guns as well. But surrounding them and on all sides of this junction, a big, largely peaceful crowd. I mean, noisy, but peaceful peaceful if you know what I mean. Yeah, but you know it was largely peaceful and I combed through, I mean fast forwarded through hours and hours of recorded footage trying to find someone who had a message and
Starting point is 01:00:39 it was all kind of the same. It was just like, I don't like Trump. Yeah, Trump sucks. Yeah, I mean here's an example. This came from rebel news. The problem that we're having now is even if Donald Trump is not in office, is that the 38% of Republicans that would still support him is a cult. This is a brainwashed cult that we are dealing with. And, you know we they need an intervention okay and if there's nothing else i think don the only thing that trump has been successful at in this whole past 10 years is that he's been the most successful cult leader on the planet ever because he's
Starting point is 01:01:21 that i am what i say you are what you you say is yourself. It gets better. In spite of all the disgusting things that he's done, he made fun of a disabled reporter. That's her one thing, by the way. Of old Shrope. Of all the disgusting things he's done, made fun of a disabled reporter. And that's all she has believe me. All the disgusting things that he's done. He made fun of a disabled reporter. I mean I'm not even going to give you the litany of all the disgusting things he's done. I'm not going to give you the litany you, it's beneath me to talk about things I can't really remember. The word sounds...
Starting point is 01:02:06 Stop, stop. I want to revisit the disabled reporter thing. So let's go back in time when this happened. This happened for the 2016 election. Yes. Trump used to do a spaz guy. It used to be part of his act. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 01:02:22 He would just do a spastic kind of a thing. It was kind of a joke to him. And so the Democrats had set him up with a disabled reporter asking a question, knowing, because it was a leading question, the kind of question that he, where Trump did this spastic character, you know, as a joke, not knowing that the reporter was disabled. And so he did the bit. And so then they said, look what he did.
Starting point is 01:02:49 He mocked the disabled reporter. This whole thing was a complete setup. And by the way, Trump never did that bit again. No. That was the last time he ever did it because he got had by being too glib and not paying attention. But that was such nonsense, but it's, but it's structured. You know, the Democrats have their thing, they have their methodology and this is part of it.
Starting point is 01:03:14 And they, and having stupid people like the woman you just played as part of it, the way it works. She's not done because what you're right, what she is saying, no, she's not done because what you're right, what she is saying. She's not done. No, she's not done. She is literally portraying a brainwashed person. I'm not saying that it's avoidable for her, but that's the brainwashing that she received and she holds on to that one thing. It's beneath her to go through the whole litany of disgusting things President Trump has done because he is only a cult leader.
Starting point is 01:03:47 38% of Americans are cultists. They're just cultists and cannot see that maybe she's the one in the cult. He made fun of a disabled reporter. I mean, I'm not even going to give you the litany of all the disgusting things he's done. The word salad, the verbal diarrhea that comes out of his mouth any kind of character, would not support a man like that. So this has gone beyond normal people. This is in the realm of cult. What would you say to your Republican? What would I say? I would say turn off Fox News, turn off right wing media, find out what he is doing.
Starting point is 01:04:46 But you know, it's very hard to speak sense to a lot of these people. They need psychiatric help. There needs to be, you know, in order to bring these people back to reality, back to decency, they need some kind of help or intervention to get them out of the cult. What's interesting is that we have not seen violence from red-hatted MAGA cult members. Have we had, is there, is there something, am I misremembering? No, no. So the only violence...
Starting point is 01:05:23 Except for the Jussie Smollett. Remembering no no so the only violence was just a small Yeah, they had red hats it was the black red hat Yes is exactly so you know it pains me that Because when you are in this mode when you say well They're in the cult cult and you can't reach inside yourself and say, you know, they've got to stop watching right-wing media, stop watching Fox News.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Well, what do you think you're consuming? That just does not enter their minds. And it's too bad. I mean, we've always had a healthy discourse between left and right, Republican and Democrat. And it's just, it's, I don't know if it's, if it's repairable. You know, cause people on the right just say you guys are libtards, you're no good, you're nut jobs, you're crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Libtards is my favorite. Yeah. You know, I was like, that's not necessarily helpful either. I'm not convinced over time, I've done this show long enough, and then I also have my background in history. I'm not convinced that this hasn't always been the case. And there's nothing new here.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Well, this is- It's not like a- You're right. It's not like a season that just formed. No, you're right. It's one that's been exaggerated by Fox, because Fox News is the first, actually Rush Limbaugh started it.
Starting point is 01:06:49 He's the first guy that showed up with a perspective that was honest, right wing, on radio, got a big huge following to the point where he got a $400 million contract just to yack, yack, yack. And then Fox- That irks you, doesn't it? And irks you. Yes. Well, but so what has changed- Not as much as Rachel Maddow getting 25 million to work one day a week.
Starting point is 01:07:16 But John, you show up with TikTok clips of nut jobs, which you call nut jobs, and it's just people on the left, okay, they don't have a red hat, they have blue hair and you make fun of them. So, you know, everyone's well, it's amusing to me. I understand. But the thing that has changed is media, social and mainstream. There's more of it, we see more of it, we're more inundated by it. It hits all of the pleasure centers. Oh, there's more. Oh, I can see someone's fighting. You just scroll on X. Every third video is someone beating somebody else up. There's a lot of beat up videos. Look at this. They're beating each other up at the chick-fil-a. at the at the Chick-fil-A. It's you know that exactly a lot of that.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Oh, oh, there's black girls fighting in a in the fast food restaurant. They're pulling hair, pulling hair, pulling wings off. I know. And and that is the scourge. That is what is killing us on the inside. It's eating our souls. It really is. It could be feeding our souls for all you know. This is just one perspective that you have. Yeah, okay. All right. Since I've known you,
Starting point is 01:08:31 I've never known you to be so joyous about nut jobs on TikTok. You're like, I love this. This is great. Listen to this crazy person. That's what TikTok has done is ruined my friend John C. Dvorak. So now I will take this to the next level, which I thought was a very interesting analysis. Back to China? Yes, by none other than the Cuomo kid, Chris Cuomo, who for all I know could be doing this as a paid job by the State Department. I don't know. But you know, if that was discovered, like all of a sudden we've now discovered
Starting point is 01:09:07 that Mike Myers, the comic, was working for the CIA or whatever for all these years. Nothing would surprise me. Nothing. I would, you know, right, exactly, nothing should surprise you when it comes to Intel. Yeah, here's, now this is about the Los Angeles protests. These protests are fed by dark sources with a desire for our destruction.
Starting point is 01:09:31 One of the main players in organizing and funding the Los Angeles protests is a group called CHRLA, C-H-I-R-L-A, acronym, Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights. They have received millions in government grants and state grants, but now reports are showing that there may be a foreign link, specifically from China, funding and organizing these protests. The pro-Chinese far-left Party for Socialism and Liberation, they're known as the PSL, they are working with CHRLA, helping fund the protests in Los Angeles and maybe elsewhere. Remember, all the parties in China are controlled
Starting point is 01:10:11 by the CCP. So this is China. And the party is pushing to destroy capitalism and the West. This is its agenda. This is what China wants. They even have a term for the effort. It's called the smokeless war, where they have this theory of how they'll destroy the West without actually taking to the battlefield. That's what they did during the anti-Israel campus protests. The PSL worked hand in glove with anti-Zionist student groups and helped organize and fund the Columbia campus encampments. By the way, I could totally buy this theory. I think fentanyl and opioids and all this stuff, you know, the Chinese are still mad about the opioid wars.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Yeah, they are. Smuggling fungus. They should be mad at the Brits, not us. We didn't do it. Smuggling fungus into America. You know, it's very possible. But wait, it gets even scarier. Now it gets scarier.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Where does the PSL get its money? Enter Shanghai based socialist billionaire Neville Singham. 2017, he sold his tech company for about a billion. Reports show the same year he started funding far left groups like the PSL to the tune of millions. Millions! Sam is not America's friend. He has deep business ties to the CCP, but also has strong ideological ties to communism,
Starting point is 01:11:39 period. People who worked for him says he's an admirer of Mao, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, not friends of American culture. According to the New York Times, Singham has funded and developed a deep global empire of pro-China nonprofits in the media and grassroots political space, steering millions into these groups over the years, including the PSL. And guess who was associated with the PSL and other Singham funded groups? Elias Rodriguez. Ring a bell? This scumbag, the 30 year old Chicago man who murdered two Israeli staffers in cold blood last month.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Oh man, it's too complicated. Well, the Singham guy is great. I mean, he is something, people should look him up and read his bio in wiki. His name is Neville Singham. He's from Sri Lanka, half Cuban, half Sri Lankan, a communist, not blatant communist. He lives in Shanghai, China. I think he's still an American citizen. Married to the founder of Code Pink. No. Yes.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Not, not, not that lady. Yeah, the crazy lady. What's her name again? I can't remember her name offhand, but she's all, you know, showed up for everything. She's like a dirty trickster, like a dick, a gretty type person which I always... No, no, this is Jodie Evans that's not the same one that's not the one you're thinking of. I'm thinking of the founder of Code Pink. No, no, he is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans. You're thinking of the other lady.
Starting point is 01:13:22 He's not married to her. Jodie Evans was just, is just, oh, you think there's a difference between the two women in terms of their being nuts? It's, I just, I'm just differentiating. It's Medea, Medea Benjamin. That's the one you're thinking of. Oh, okay. Yes, there's two.
Starting point is 01:13:40 You're thinking of her. Oh, okay. Interesting. But this Singham guy is like, he's just basically a communist. I mean, he's not even... He's not hiding it. Not hiding it. He's in Shanghai and he works for the CCP. And they're probably funneling money through him. It's probably not even that much of his money.
Starting point is 01:13:57 And he's, yeah, he's subversive and he's got all these phony baloney organizations under his wing. He is worse than Soros at the moment. Yeah. Who just got married? I hear Alex. Soros? Alex got married to Uma. Alex. Yeah, he got married to Uma. Oh, he did. Oh, good for him. Well, that's good. It's a couple of two beards.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Two beards. Show title. Okay. Two beards. So let's play the USAID in Hungary. This came up, this is on one of these podcast reports. This is interesting. We have to look forward to this. Um, hold on a second. I'm looking for it. USAID you said? Oh, I got it. There we go. The Hungarian government has announced that they will be releasing a documentary exposing the USAID scandal. The movie will focus on revealing how USAID funneled millions of dollars into ideological movements in their country. They claim that political organizations and liberal media, which claim to be independent,
Starting point is 01:14:56 received money through USAID to promote Democrat agendas such as illegal migration, transgenders and war stances. Orban's government says USAID is working with George Soros' Open Society foundations in the plot. You know, the only thing I'm a little tired of is like, is, I'm in front of you for all, Soros, Soros, Soros, Soros, Soros! The Open Society Institute is so big. I mean, Soros doesn't even have to think about it anymore.
Starting point is 01:15:30 No, it just runs out of its own. It's an infrastructure that's been in place for decades. It's worldwide. It's like jumping off a motorcycle. Oh really? Do explain. Jump off a motorcycle, the thing will go a mile. Right.
Starting point is 01:15:44 Balancing itself. It's balancing itself. Yeah. Good point. It's OSI, Open Society Institute, and it's just a great place to donate money so that you can enrich yourself by A, deducting that from your income tax and B, helping to stir things up. It's not even Soros. As Soros.
Starting point is 01:16:05 And Soros, as far as I know, he's in a cryogenic chamber. The guy is 100 years old. Yes, I know. If you've seen him speak within the last year or two, he can barely get a word out. Can't get anything out. And Alex, I have my doubts about that guy being any kind of powerhouse like his dad.
Starting point is 01:16:24 He seems like a like a beta male. It seems like I think you called it two beards. And a beard. And you know who would get married to Uma Abedin? That's like you got to watch your six all the time. You're six. There you go again with that phrase. We're watching too many TV shows. Watch your six, man. Yeah. No, no, no. Hey, we're being accused of being boomers. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:16:55 You should listen to your elders. We are boomers. Yeah, you should listen to your elders. Oh, hey, you guys are boomers, really? You should listen to your elders. Thanks for the accusation. We're boomers and you're a dipshit. How about that? Nailed it.
Starting point is 01:17:12 The one thing is no one can ever accuse us of not speaking our mind and saying what we think it is, right, wrong or indifferent. At least we're having an opinion. And we're right almost all the time because that's the funny thing about being a boomer. Oh, is that so? Does that give you instant I'm right credits? No, no, it's just from years and years and years and years and years of experience. Well, we weren't right about the former governor of New York. you know, we were pretty sure he killed all those seniors in the nursing home.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Go in there and choke them out. Well, he has evidence that he did a good job. Some people have criticized your leadership during COVID, specifically when it comes to the nursing home crisis. How do you answer that question? Friends of all New Yorkers, New Yorkers are gonna criticize whatever you do. On nursing homes, it became a political football four years ago. We now have had a number of reports that have gone all through it. And it has been proven to
Starting point is 01:18:19 have been politicized. The Department of Justice Inspector General said they played politics with the issue. And then when you look at it at the end of the day, said they played politics with the issue. And then when you look at it at the end of the day and they have all the final numbers. New York is number 38 in what's called the rate of death for every 1000 people in a nursing home. We're number 38. New York is number 38 out of 50 states. We're great.
Starting point is 01:18:43 Which means only 12 states had a lower rate of death, which is really incredible. Come to New York, you'll die less. You think about it, we had it first, we had it worst, we didn't know what it was, and it's a tribute to the women and men who worked in our healthcare system and kept it down that low that only 12 states we we saw your mobile morgues they were empty the hospitals were empty it was nothing had a lower rate of death and they had more time to get ready we were hit by surprise no they did an extraordinary job and yes there was a lot of politics in the beginning and Trump was blaming us and
Starting point is 01:19:25 we were blaming Trump. No, he wasn't. Four years later- Trump wasn't blaming anybody. Trump brought in hospital ships. Trump was the, yeah, he wasn't blaming anybody. He was blaming China.
Starting point is 01:19:35 He was blaming China. Yeah, he's blaming China. Facts and- Another thing to think about. New Yorkers did a great job and we led the nation. When nobody knew what it was, Dan, we were on the front line and we stood up and we handled it.
Starting point is 01:19:52 We were leading the nation by offering people burgers and fries in exchange for a shot. We were first people. That was us. Dope. If that guy gets elected mayor, I don't know. There's hopeless back there. He'll get elected.
Starting point is 01:20:12 They'll say, oh, I heard him. I mean, that's how he gets in. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he's good. That's possible. Oh, brother. If he gets elected, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. So he, speaking of Trump being a horrible dictator, we have an addition to the big beautiful bill which has just got Colorado up in arms.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Colorado's Democratic delegation blasting a proposal today they say would hurt Colorado's outdoor lifestyle. I love the blasting. It's going to hurt Colorado's outdoor lifestyle. How's that work? Were they going to shut down the sun? They should go talk to Bill Gates. A new provision added to the budget reconciliation or big beautiful bill would require the BLM and US Forest Service to sell millions of acres of public lands to build housing. Public lands. Black Lives Matter? Yes. Colorado, Colorado. They make the West the West.
Starting point is 01:21:11 But which lands? Lawmakers ended the call before taking that question from me. So I followed up with an email and Senator Michael Bennett's office responded saying that because areas with oil and gas, grazing or mining permits could not be sold, recreation areas would be at risk. Places like 18 Road in Fruta, Hartman Rocks in Gunnison, or Animas City Mountain in Durango. What might seem like a barren parcel on a senator's desk on a map is actually a place where Coloradans hike, camp, hunt, ATV, climb, and so much more. Jessica Turner, president of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable says there's already a mechanism to sell or lease federal land for housing. But we don't need a whole new property.
Starting point is 01:21:50 By the way, this woman who's in charge of whatever this thing is, she is so she's inside her house and she's on her computer. She has on you know, those rich lady clothes, the ones that are couture and they're made of always thick material. You know, like and it's pink. And it's thick and then you look at her and her living room has like baroque furniture. It looks like my first wife's living room, honestly. Baroque furniture and just, you know, she just oozes wealth. Offsets that takes away those safeguards.
Starting point is 01:22:24 So you don't think she's a hiker? No, she does not look like a hiker at all. No, I would call her a Brahmin American. We have a class of society. It's people like this. Seriously, it's people like this. It's our version of Brahmins who are upper middle class to just upper class. And they know everything and they understand everything better.
Starting point is 01:22:49 And for God's sake, man, who's going to clean my toilet? You've got to keep the illegals here. But Summers acknowledges tourism and recreation in Colorado are also hugely important to our economy. And anything that would impact impact that including the sale of federal lands would have to be analyzed further. Right now one thing we do know the bill couldn't touch some of our state's landmarks. It does stipulate that no protected areas so a national park, a national monument, a wild and scenic river those would not be part of this proposal. So I looked at this proposal and what percentage do you think is proposed in this amendment to the
Starting point is 01:23:27 big beautiful bill to what percentage of Colorado land will be sold off? Five? 0.75%. What? Yes. In fact, it says 0.5? It says between 0.5 and 0.75%. But we gotta blast him.
Starting point is 01:23:53 It's nothing. No, it's nothing. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, since you're on Colorado, I get my two Colorado clips out of the way. You got Colorado clips
Starting point is 01:24:05 Something screwy is going on or these clips wouldn't exist and here they are Colorado clip one NPR has learned the Department of Justice has made it where Scott Shimon Is he on vacation Shimon? He's got Shimon. He's young vacation. He's only worked. No, he works weekends weekend And we are with that black screechie girl It works weekends now. Weekends. With that black screechy girl. NPR has learned the Department of Justice has made a sweeping demand for Colorado's election records.
Starting point is 01:24:31 NPR's Jude Joplin Block Report's documents show the DOJ asked Colorado to turn over all records from the 2024 federal elections and to preserve any records it still has from 2020. Several voting experts and officials told NPR that broad of a request is highly unusual and concerning given President Trump's false claims, false claims, false, false claims about elections. Jenna Griswold is Colorado's Democratic Secretary of State. We are seeing them use the apparatus of the federal government to undermine our
Starting point is 01:25:01 elections and our democracy. And I would assume that this is more of the same. Oh, yeah. Yeah, false claims, false, false, false. False claims, false claims, claims, claims that are false, false claims. So, claims that are false and false claims are two different phrases and they don't mean the same thing. They do not. So here we, and the former, which is claims that are false is more accurate.
Starting point is 01:25:28 The other one is just propaganda. That's when you say false claims is propaganda. Yes. And then this is PBS or NPR is NPR. So it's propagandistic. Yes. National Propaganda Radio NPR. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:40 Okay. Okay. Okay. Right. So let's play clip two. The Justice Department indicated it had received a complaint. Colorado was not complying with federal record retention rules. The department declined to provide additional details. Yeah, this is obvious. What's going on is Colorado, I think, is ground zero for these
Starting point is 01:26:00 voting machines, which just seem to be a mess, technically. Well, Colorado is the first state that tried to keep Trump off the ballot. That's not unconstitutional. I forgot all about that. Oh, what an annoying. So Colorado is this and that. And then you play the clips of the 0.07% point, whatever. It makes you wonder, wait a minute,
Starting point is 01:26:25 is this Colorado pushing back by their elites, the elite woman, the Brahmin, which I like that phrase. The Brahmin American. Brahmin American. The Brahmin American. Yeah, elites, you know, there's elites there. My buddy is actually going. There's a lot of elites in Aspen
Starting point is 01:26:42 and there's two or three of these cities and the mountain towns, Aspen's a great one. Bill Ziff had a place in Aspen I visited. Boulder. So I visited Bill Ziff's place in Aspen because I was sorting out his wines. And I know. How does that call go? Hey, hey, Dvorak, come over to Aspen.
Starting point is 01:27:04 I want you to sort out my wine. So I'm in Aspen going through the place and there's mousetraps all over the place because the biggest Aspen is loaded with mice. And so I'm, I take a look at the whole operation. He's got a big indoor pool. And this is one of these stories. So there's a big indoor pool. And, uh, and there's a whole bunch of workers in there and they're over the pool. They've got a big netting and a bunch of flowers and some they're putting up a bunch of you know like vines
Starting point is 01:27:33 and flowers or something. They're all growing live flowers across the top for the guests and they're bringing all these big light stanchions. There's a whole bunch of lights and the lights are underneath the flowers above the pool and pointing up. And I said to the guy, what are you doing? What is the, the flowers getting enough, what's the deal with the lights? And the guy says, well, we put them here
Starting point is 01:27:59 for a couple of weeks and it gives enough time for the flowers and the plants to kind of turn toward the light. So when they have a big pool party and people look up they get to see the flowers. Oh, that's some Brahmin stuff right there. That's some rich dude stuff. I shook my eye and said, wow! This is a new story. I didn't know this story. This is a new one. Yeah, that's a new one. That's a good one.
Starting point is 01:28:25 All right. Let's turn our focus to Minnesota. Very odd things going on in Minnesota. Let's get a little backgrounder from Good Morning America. This morning, an urgent manhunt underway after a man investigators say was posing as a police officer allegedly shot and killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in their home. Police say the same suspect was involved in a separate attack just 90 minutes earlier, allegedly shooting and wounding another lawmaker and his wife.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Suspects posing as police officers shot two victims. Police responding to reports of gunfire around 2 a.m. Saturday at the home of Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, just outside Minneapolis. Officers then checking on Democratic former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband a few miles away at their Brooklyn Park home, willing to find the two fatally shot. They noticed that there was a police vehicle in the driveway with the lights, emergency lights on, and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house. When our officers confronted them, the individual immediately fired upon the officers who exchanged gunfire and the suspect retreated back into the home. This whole thing, so I think there's a clip somewhere where immediately, just within hours of it happening, this is political, this is political, this is political.
Starting point is 01:29:48 I was expecting to find a MAGA hat in the car. And then they released the name of this guy and it's all very, very dubious. The whole thing is super suspicious. Dubious. I have the bonus clip, which is long. Let me finish this one up and then we'll get your bonus clip. I just want to say this is the screwiest, most suspicious, this is MK Ultra it seems
Starting point is 01:30:13 to me. I'm with you on that. Authorities now naming 57-year-old Vance Bolter as the suspect. Investigators say he was dressed as an officer, wearing a vest, a badge and a taser, and was driving an SUV with police lights. The FBI releasing images they say are of him in a cowboy hat and wearing a latex mask outside one of the victim's homes. Investigators say they've recovered several firearms from Bolton's vehicle, along with
Starting point is 01:30:39 no King's flyers and writings mentioning the names of the victims, some abortion providers and other democratic lawmakers. Sources telling ABC News, law enforcement is looking into whether he may have been motivated by extreme views on abortion. And that's kind of new, this extreme views on abortion that wasn't there in the beginning. And there's this video of this guy, undated video, you know, he was waffling on for about four minutes. He's like a guy that picks up dead bodies and takes them to the morgue.
Starting point is 01:31:11 I have this, I have the clip of that if you want to get to it. Yeah, yeah, we just do it now. Is that, oh, you got the whole thing? That's the bonus, yes, you're gonna have to live with the whole thing because it's interesting enough, I couldn't really, I could have just clipped out where he talks about it. I can't believe you brought that whole, I didn't even clip it I couldn't really, I could have just clipped out where he
Starting point is 01:31:25 talks about it. I can't believe you brought that whole, I didn't even clip it. It was like, ah, this is nothing. Well, you can run through the beginning of it because once, I can just summarize. I don't even have to play the clip. No, no, we'll play the beginning.
Starting point is 01:31:34 Oh, my name is Van. But before you play it, there's a couple of things I want to note and people should note this. When they discuss, the cop comes out, and this has been said more than once He was 61 inches tall That's five one. He's a midget and so no offense to the short and petite males out there listen to the show interesting
Starting point is 01:31:57 So do they that's that they always say instead of saying he's five one They say he's 61 inches which makes him sound like maybe he's bigger. Well, you know, when you take a mug shot... Yeah, I know you have the inches on this side. The inches, yes. But when you're in a press conference, you don't say people's inches. Well, the reason I'm getting into it with you is because that probably means there was a mugshot of him taken at some point.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Otherwise, why would you even say that? Well, that's a good point. Because whenever you see a mugshot, it always has inches on the ruler in the background. Yeah, there's a bunch of inches on the side. You have to do the calculation. I don't see where at any point this guy is some kind of security guy for some. Not at five one. And the other thing is according to this, the clip you're going to play, he's married with five kids. Yes. Another one. Where, where's the wife?
Starting point is 01:32:58 Where are the kids? Well, the wife did show up in it. They did. Somebody did contact her, but why did it? It was mentioned that he had told his two roommates, two dudes that he was going to be gone for a while and may end up dead. This came up in the press conference. So why is he living with two guys if he's married with five kids? Let's listen to a little bit of this video. Hello, my name is Vance Belter.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Wait, let me preface the video. This is from a Zoom call he made. I saw his LinkedIn profile too. It's a Zoom call he made because he was taking a class on mortuary services. It was one of those online classes. In those classes, you introduced yourself. This is his introduction to himself. My name is Vance. No other names that I use. I live in Greenel, Minnesota, about an hour
Starting point is 01:33:53 away from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. I'm affiliated with two funeral homes. I work full-time for Wolf Funeral Home, which is an intake location for about six funeral homes. And we also do all the intake for the National Cremation Society and the Neptune Society for all their cremation customers. What kind of course was he taking if he already is doing the job? He's basically a grunt worker picking up dead bodies. He's not a funeral director and I think that's what he wanted to become. Oh. ...as well. So, I mainly do removals at this point. So, I work at Wolf full-time and then I also work
Starting point is 01:34:35 for another funeral home called Metro First Call. And they also do traditional removals at nursing homes, assisted living apartments, but they also have contracts with medical examiner's office. One contract is the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office, so we'll do removals, which we're working with a lot of police officers and deaf investigators at the location where a decedent is found. Have you seen any pictures of the so-called car that looked like a cop car with lights on it?
Starting point is 01:35:15 Have you seen any pictures of this car? No, they didn't show that. And then the other thing is they just found his other car earlier and supposedly he took off on foot, he was wearing a stupid mask. This whole thing is really screwed up. This is a bad op. Yeah. Is there anything else in here we need to listen to? Well, actually you have to keep, now that you started, that part is not interesting. It gets more interesting as we, right now it starts getting interesting. Okay, okay. It could be a crime scene or just a natural death and our role is to just take the decedent
Starting point is 01:35:51 from that place of death to the medical examiner's office. And so between those two locations, I'm working about six days a week. This is about where I bailed on the video, so I'm glad that you- Oh no, this is the part where it gets good. video. So I'm glad that you- Oh no, this is the part where it gets good. Okay. Well, I'm glad you got it. What else here?
Starting point is 01:36:09 Family and pets. I have a wife and five kids and we have two pets, German shepherds. Fun fact about myself, I've been in the food industry about 30 years and that led to an opportunity. I was invited to the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is located in Central Africa. When I was in high school, the country was called Zaire. That's a little bit more familiar with people, but it's the largest, second largest country in Africa, right in the middle of the center there. And was asked a couple years ago to go and see what
Starting point is 01:36:46 I could do for ideas and helping their food supply system. Their population is about 100 million people and they import 80% of their food currently. So some of the food companies I worked for in the past were farm to fork like Del Monte Foods and Golden Pump Poultry where we did everything from at Del Monte Foods and Golden Plump Poultry, where we did everything from at Del Monte. We planted the products, harvested them, processed them and then shipped them out. In Golden Plump Poultry, we had our own hatcheries, grow-out barns. Well, how was that helping feed the people of Zaire? It sounds like some kind of capitalist takeover.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Farmers and then processing plants. So between those two companies, I have some experience with agriculture. And so over in the Democratic Republic of Congo had some ideas they thought were pretty promising, which package up some Congolese and put them in Del Monte. The whole thing is just, he goes on about this and then he was going to move his family there and then he was, but he wanted a part-time job here so he could make money to pay for this other thing. I mean, he's almost done, I think. But it's like, what is this guy, what is going on here?
Starting point is 01:37:58 The company I was working for at the time wasn't interested in doing anything in Africa. So I talked with my wife and we decided I just put in my twoweek notice and we just go off on our own to try to do these projects to help out in Africa. So we're doing farming and fishing projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo and to help pay the bills, I just started working at a funeral home because the shift worked good for my schedule with the other things I was doing. That led to some classes at DMACC, which led to this course.
Starting point is 01:38:27 So just learning more about the funeral industry. And I think that covers everything. And I will look forward to seeing you in class. And we'll go from there. Well, when did, where was the interesting part? Well, I thought it was interesting that he's like connected to the Republic of Democratic Republic of Congo. And if you go to his LinkedIn page, he's the CEO of the Red Lion Group, which is it. This is bull crap. These are, there's a website, right? These are websites
Starting point is 01:39:07 and the Victorian Guard. Yeah, I agree. It is bull crap. But what what is this is a crazy bullcrap considering what this guy just did. He had a hit list with Elon Omar on it. Why he didn't put her at the top is unknown. You horrible man. Let's listen to ABC here for a second. This morning the urgent manhunt continues in the Minnesota Twin Cities region for 57 year old. By the way, manifesto immediately mentioned manifesto. Yeah, where's the manhunt? We don't get the manifesto. They never give us the manifesto until they rewrite it. I want the manifesto. This morning the urgent manhunt continues in the Minnesota Twin Cities
Starting point is 01:39:42 region for 57 year old Vance Bolter. The suspect police say killed a beloved Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and wounded another legislator and his spouse. This was an act of targeted political violence. He knew that that was there right away. Targeted political violence. I mean, is it an op gone wrong? There's something gone wrong. Something is wrong. The FBI putting LB's in... And by the way, that woman, we don't have a... There are clips available of her. She was frightened because she's... I have it. I have it. I have the clip. Here she is. Representative Melissa Hortman, after she voted no on health care for illegals.
Starting point is 01:40:26 I know that people will be hurt by that vote. We worked very hard to try to get a budget deal that wouldn't include that provision. Yeah, so she looked and she sided with the Republicans. She looked and sounded distraught. And she was very upset because they, according to other reports, they, all the Democrats in the state were going after her for siding with the Republicans on the, on the free welfare for undocumented immigrants. And, uh,
Starting point is 01:40:59 which is an easy kind of MAGA right wing thought like, Oh, that's why he killed her. But that's why she was killed. I'm not buying any of that something else. I'm not buying anything because I think this is some sort of I think you maybe hit it right and an op gone wrong. Yeah well let's finish with ABC. Targeted political violence. The FBI putting out these images they say are of Bolter not long after the attack in a cowboy hat offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Bolter, a Minnesota resident, ran a private security company with his wife.
Starting point is 01:41:33 Do not approach him. You should consider him armed and dangerous. Around 2 a.m. Saturday, police in Champlain, northwest of Minneapolis, responding to reports of a shooting at the home of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. Suspects posing as police officers shot two victims. Eight miles away in Brooklyn Park, a fast thinking sergeant proactively checking on the home of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, finding them fatally shot.
Starting point is 01:42:01 They noticed that there was a police vehicle in the driveway with the lights, emergency lights on, and what appeared to was a police vehicle in the driveway with the lights, emergency lights on and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house. When our officers confronted them, the individual immediately fired upon the officers who exchanged gunfire and the suspect retreated back into the home. Just happened to go check on him. Yeah, I should go check on him. Yeah, by coincidence.
Starting point is 01:42:24 And the other thing is now all of a sudden, instead of being an Africa or funeral home or food service, he's co-owned a security company with his wife while he was living with two dudes. You know what? This to me... This is nuts. This sounds like a contracted hit from someone else, not politically motivated. How about this? Now as you bring that up, the guy was a hit man. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:52 In, in Congo. Yeah. Or yeah. And maybe that's why he was in the Congo to do a hit there. He, this, I mean, I, this is really out there, but what's the possibility? There are these guys out there that are professional murderers. They're usually about 61 inches tall. And the 61 inches tall is code.
Starting point is 01:43:16 Yeah. And what's the mugshot taken for? Because I think your analysis of that is probably correct. It would have to be a mug shot with a 61-inch marker on the side, which is where that came from. When people ask me how tall I am, my standard joke is 5'17". But I'm going to start switching to inches now. So they really go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 5'17 is already hard for people. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Starting point is 01:43:47 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baloney list of people that were on, you know, Elon,
Starting point is 01:44:05 Ilan Omar, Tim walls and a bunch of other politicals that were on this bull crap. This whole thing could be bull crap. But I liked the hitman theory on my own. I pat myself on the head. Don't give yourself a brain injury. And she was nervous when she, that clip you played of the speaker. She was a nervous wreck for some reason. Something else was going on. So, anyway, for people who are emailing me and saying, what is happening in our world? Just look at the ground.
Starting point is 01:44:38 Turn off the TV. Put your phone down. Turn off the TV. It'll be okay. It'll be okay. These things have been going on forever. I mean, no one even mentioned the 10 people shot in an Austrian school. That wasn't news here. No, well, I saw one report. A little bit, but you know, it's like, this is the, we live in a broken fallen world.
Starting point is 01:45:04 That's just it. It's not. It's the same old world it's like, this is the, we live in a broken fallen world, that's just it. It's not. It's the same old world it's always been. That's my point. It's just more amplified. It's amplified, continuously. Yeah, which gives us the opportunity to do no agenda show for people. They should be thankful. No. I don't care if they're thankful or not. Yeah, you do. I don't care if they're thankful or not. Yeah, you do. But it's like, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:45:29 Go outside, enjoy your neighbors, have a joke about their birthday signs. Hey, how you doing? Yeah, okay, that's pretty funny. Just calm down every... I mean, they are... It's off the rails here, John, it's off the rails. Like well, you know, 2030 Soros, the World Economic Forum, they're going to get a new
Starting point is 01:45:56 world order. We're back to new world order. That's cropping up again. It's the cycle that's just annoying. It's like, Hey, I went down that rabbit hole 15 years ago. It's nothing at the bottom. There's no Alice in Wonderland. There's no looking glass.
Starting point is 01:46:12 Aliens. Speaking of something else to be worried about. It's roughly the size of a 15-story building. Asteroid 2024 YR4, dubbed the City killer when it was discovered last year was initially given a 3% chance of striking Earth on the 22nd of December 2032. New projections from NASA have downgraded that threat to almost zero. Instead our nearest neighbor the moon may now be in danger. Oh no! NASA has upgraded the chances of a lunar collision to 4.3%. Though unlikely, the impact could be visible from Earth and may leave a new lunar crater
Starting point is 01:46:53 up to a kilometre in diameter. Objects in space where there is so much space and the chances of it getting anything is extremely low in most circumstances, Four percent is very high indeed. To brief, how can four percent chance of it hitting the moon be very high indeed? It's better that it was high compared to one. Now, I wonder if this thing hits the moon if it's going to crack through the spaceship. The hollow moon. The hollow moon, because it could crack through
Starting point is 01:47:26 because so far nothing's been able to penetrate that that inner thing whatever it is did you see spacecraft i didn't clip it but there was some some guy state senator i think and he was being interviewed and he let it slip he said well you know I've talked to army guys. We got a, we got army people on the moon. Like what? Did you see that video? No, it was almost unbelievable. I'm surprised that you saw it. You didn't clip it. Because it was, it was, it's like three seconds long. I'm like, eh, I tried to find the original, couldn't find it. I gotta get up. Yeah. I gotta do work. No, I can't do that. I gotta get it. Where's the, where's the gun? Oh, it's too late. I can't do that. I gotta get it. Where's the gun? It's too late.
Starting point is 01:48:07 I can't do that. Are the Grammys coming up? Are the Grammys on the way? Yeah, you're the one that keeps track of the Grammys. I don't. Let me see. When is the Grammy? I think the CMT had something to go. Let me see. Look at yours, Satan Cycle calendar. I'm looking at the Satan cycle here. Let me see. The Grammy Awards, when are they coming up? They should be coming up soon.
Starting point is 01:48:31 The 20th, is it the, oh, February? Oh, please. Because they just announced some new categories, which is also very interesting. Changes are coming to music's biggest night in 2026. The Recording Academy has announced new rules and new categories for the Grammy Awards next year. The best new artist category is expanding to include acts who were previously nominated
Starting point is 01:48:58 for album of the year as a featured artist. The Academy is carving. I don't understand this. What? Yeah, so if you were nominated for best album, you can now be nominated for best new artist even if you won, I guess, that category. But then you're not new. I mean, who are they trying to get on the show that they have to...
Starting point is 01:49:22 This is like when we did... Oh, that's exactly right. This is what we did with. I've told this story with Michael Jackson. We want to get Michael Jackson on the video music awards and he would only do it if we promised to give him the video Vanguard award and we would name it after him, the Michael Jackson video Vanguard award of the year. And then so, okay, and there was some other stipulations which, well, I'll tell the story
Starting point is 01:49:52 in case someone hasn't heard it. This sounds corrupt. So, and then we had to do this whole special weekend to debut his video. I don't remember which one it was. And so we recorded on Friday, we'd record for Thursdays, we record for Saturday and Sunday and Friday, we record for Monday because none of it was live, not much of it was live. So we did the whole 48 on Thursday. And then Friday, we tape for Monday and everybody went home. And then the frantic phone calls, everybody had to come in on Saturday to reshoot everything for the weekend because in the contract that stipulated
Starting point is 01:50:31 every single time we would say Michael Jackson, you had to say Michael- Well, yeah, you did tell this story. Michael Jackson, the king of pop. And so we didn't, that contract piece hadn't come down to the studio. But anyway, so you finesse the award, you make up an award to get someone to appear on the award show.
Starting point is 01:50:51 And by the way, once he was dead, that's now the JLo Video Vanguard Award. That didn't last, those hypocrites. So anyway, so there's something up with this. Who were previously nominated for Album of the year as a featured artist? The Academy is also carving out a standalone category for best album cover and create album cover No agenda show should win that When's the last time you saw an album cover? Cover and creating a brand new category for best traditional country album.
Starting point is 01:51:27 The existing best country album category has been renamed best contemporary country album. So they're kind of giving two lanes for that. What that means is we have a white country, a country winner and a black country winner because Beyonce took it last year. The change comes after, of course, Beyonce won best country album last year for Cowboy Carter. We're really seeing a lot of expansion within that music category. There's no words to reflect it. This is weird.
Starting point is 01:51:57 Best contemporary. This is the same thing that Tony's did. Tony's added a bunch of first, you know, the best actor and best featured actor, two separate categories. What the hell is that supposed to mean? I don't know. It's strange. No, you're right.
Starting point is 01:52:12 I think you nailed it. You absolutely nailed it. Strange. This is corruption at the core. We want to get so-and-so to show up for the show because nobody wants to do these shows anymore because the ratings are flagging and it's not helping us much if they don't show up. If nobody shows up, it gets worse.
Starting point is 01:52:31 We got to bribe them somehow. How are we going to do it? Okay, here's what we're going to do. Let's have a meeting. Yeah. Let's have a meeting. Oh man. Oh boy.
Starting point is 01:52:40 What are we going to do? You know how we do the Elbrego Garcia stuff? I got two clips. Oh, is he, is he, what's happening with him? Well, here's the update, Abrego Garcia update. In Tennessee, Kilmar Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty today to federal charges of human smuggling. It was the first time the construction worker and longtime Maryland resident has appeared in a U.S. courtroom since he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March. The Trump administration brought him back to the U.S. last week to face criminal charges
Starting point is 01:53:14 that stem from a 2022 traffic stop. The people united will never be divided. Abrego Garcia's supporters called for his freedom outside the courthouse today and at a nearby church, his wife Jennifer described seeing her husband for the first time in three months. Meantime, a federal judge has sided with the Trump administration's push to keep Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil in detention. That's despite a previous judge's orders saying the pro-Palestinian activists could
Starting point is 01:53:43 no longer be held based on the administration's initial argument that he's a threat to US foreign policy. The government now says Khalil is being held on other grounds claiming that he lied on his green card application. They're keeping him in Louisiana for some sort of debriefing. By the way, when you're ready, I have the answer for Louisiana for you. We got a Louisiana. But first with Abrigo Garcia, this is interesting. This was on a podcast. This is Dershowitz. Oh, the Dersh.
Starting point is 01:54:13 Dersh clip. Yeah. Talking about analyzing the whole situation, saying that his lawyers, his liberal lawyers got him screwed over. Big mistake, big blunder by his lawyers. His lawyers never, ever should have tried to bring him back to the United States. They should have filed a motion having him transfer from
Starting point is 01:54:33 El Salvador or Nicaragua, where maybe there was some fear, to another place, say Argentina or Brazil. He might be a free man today if they had done that. Remember that he was ordered deported. The only flaw in the order was where he was sent, not whether he was sent. And so I think he may spend a long time in prison. If he's found guilty, he's presumed innocent, but if he's found guilty, he's going to spend a long time in prison complaining about his ideological radical
Starting point is 01:55:04 lawyers who made a hero out of him and try to get him back to the United States when that was not in his own self interest. So lawyers made the most fundamental mistake a lawyer can make, putting ideology before the best interest of the client. Right. One quick bounce question and then I'm coming to the Gov. The Gov. Professor, the idea of what America should have done
Starting point is 01:55:27 with him, why these charges from a traffic stop that didn't seem to amount to much when it happened instead of challenging the stay of removal? Well, they can do both. That's the problem with what the lawyers did. They're gonna have a trial. If he's convicted, they're happy. But if he's acquitted, they can still bring the deportation charges because
Starting point is 01:55:51 the standard of proof is very different in deportation charges. All they would have to do is deport him to a country where he could not make a plausible claim that he's in danger. So from the government's point of view, it's a win-win to do it this way. Did Cuomo say in a minute, we're coming to the Gov? Yeah. What is, is that his brother? We're coming to the Gov? Yeah, the Gov.
Starting point is 01:56:17 The Gov. Yeah, they tried to make this a George Floyd type deal. That's what they tried and it failed. Well, they're still working on it. They got the protesters out there demanding is be free. This is not going to happen. It was so sad to see these people who were just, you know, so the, you have, um, these vans, like kind of the like courtesy shuttles almost.
Starting point is 01:56:40 And I guess they rousted some people and put them in the courtesy shuttles. And then you have these protesters standing in front and just, just completely hysterical. Let my people go. Let my people go. It's like, wow. I love that woman yelling that much. She's screaming at the top of her lungs, damaging her vocal cords, no doubt. Let my people go and she's like some, and they, you know, she's bald, she's some bald white woman. Yeah, she was. She was bald.
Starting point is 01:57:09 It's like, what is, what is wrong with these? This is terrible. Yeah. She needed a hug really bad. No, she needed, yeah, she needed a hug and in the same asylum, she needs a hug with a straight jacket. When, when you, when you go that hysterical, I mean, there's no coming back at a certain point.
Starting point is 01:57:29 It's like a temper tantrum for an adult. I have trouble watching that. I look at it like, oh, it's just hard. What is going on? Yeah. Well, that reminds me of this TikTok video because- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I gotta stick with Louisiana for a moment. Okay, oh yes, I wanna hear that. I of this TikTok video. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, don't. I got to stick with Louisiana for a moment.
Starting point is 01:57:45 Okay. Oh yes. I want to hear that. I'll bring you back. So our Dell dealer, he's in Louisiana and he says, oh no, we. What? The Dell dealer is the guy who sends the Dell computers. Oh, the guy who never sent me anything. Yeah. I think I have yours. Oh, not one of those deals.
Starting point is 01:58:06 It's like the people that send me candy bars for you. Yeah, they send me Dells. You know, he was going to send me a cool seven-inch touch screen, but then he heard Tina complaining about the mess in my studio. He said, I didn't send it out because I didn't want Tina to get mad at you. I just got screwed out of a cool seven inch touchscreen.
Starting point is 01:58:27 So whose fault is that? Don't think I'm going to say it's my wife's fault. It's always my fault. Hello. So he's in Louisiana. I met him. He came to Fredericksburg with his daughter. He's nice guy. Real nice guy.
Starting point is 01:58:38 We had a lunch. We hung out for a little bit and I said, oh no, it's a, this is the place to be we we have we're number one when it comes to detention centers. And he sent me a couple of maps and some clips. And I think this one says it all. Since the all woman South Louisiana ice processing center, these facilities are five some five hours away from downtown New Orleans. Most folks don't even know they exist. It's one of Louisiana's privately run ICE facilities where Tufts University PhD student, Rameshia Ozturk is currently being held. The facility is part of a growing network
Starting point is 01:59:14 of detention centers across the state, now under scrutiny by lawmakers and activists. Unfortunately, Louisiana has a very, has a lot of prison capacity. Nell Hahn works to educate migrants in Lafayette about their rights. She says the rural locations of these centers make it nearly impossible for detainees to access help.
Starting point is 01:59:34 It's particularly hard on immigrants because there aren't that many immigration lawyers and most of them are not concentrated in central or north Louisiana. Louisiana is rapidly becoming a detention hotspot. In March, Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil was transferred to a center in Jenna. Just a month earlier, migrants from Montanamo Bay were sent to Louisiana. According to TARC, Louisiana now holds the second highest number of ICE detainees in
Starting point is 02:00:00 the US, over 7,000. Texas ranks first with more than 29,000. Number one. And it's not just the numbers raising eyebrows, it's who's running the show. According to research from the National Immigrant Justice Center, 90% of people in ICE custody in the country are held in privately run facilities. These are incredibly, incredibly profitable businesses. There you go. That's Merica, baby. Profit.
Starting point is 02:00:26 That's why. Far away from lawyers and very profitable. Like far away from lawyers. Far away in the middle of nowhere, Louisiana. Far away from lawyers. That would be no lawyer wants to work there. And from what I understand, the government facilities, it costs $120 a day to house a detainee and the commercial guys, eh, we'll do it for $75.
Starting point is 02:00:51 Well, we got you, we got you, Gov. We got you, government. We'll take care of you. So that's why. But Texas is still number one, who knew? Oh, I didn't know that either. Where? Probably in the middle of nowhere somewhere in Texas, outside of Waco. until number one, who knew? Oh, I didn't know that either. Where?
Starting point is 02:01:06 Probably in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in Texas, outside of Waco. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in coming to the gov, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. Wynand's order herself, himself. John C. DeMorett! Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, he was on the morning you Mr. Adam Curry in the morning.
Starting point is 02:01:26 Joke out. He was on the ground feeding the air subs in the water. Yeah, hello trolls in the troll room. Very troll-y. Joke out. Well, it's Father's Day. 1912. That stinks. I thought there'd be more people willing to hear our Iran bombing stuff.
Starting point is 02:01:48 No, I guess not. Dad's more important. I'm okay with that. If dad's more important than Iran bombing stuff, I'm fine with that. I'm good. It's nice. You had a nice little ditty in the newsletter about the origin of Father's Day. Can you recount? I mean, recount?
Starting point is 02:02:07 Father's Day was a pushback. Mother's Day had been established long in the 1800s, I think. And the fathers were short-cheated and they didn't get any day. And so they started bitching about it. It began in 1901. The first kind of somebody came up with the idea of Father's Day and it never went anywhere. And then in 1956, to be specific, the Eisenhower administration, they recognized it was a Father's Day and then it started floating around. It was in the 70s when they gave it a day, third Sunday or second Sunday of the month or whatever.
Starting point is 02:02:42 And it's always been semi-rejected because it's a symbol of the patriarchy. Yes, and socks. Socks. Socks, socks. I got Happy Father's Day from my stepdaughters even. It was really nice. Both of them?
Starting point is 02:02:59 Both of them, yeah. Both of them. That looked good. And from my own daughter, yeah, that's nice. I feel like a dad. I feel like the patriarch of the family. Heck yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:10 Well, I got a happy Father's Day from my daughter, not from my son or my stepson, either one. None of them, or my wife, nobody else cares. Really? Mimi didn't even say, hey, thanks for being a shit today? Well, she might have, but I probably ignored it. Ha ha ha. She should. How can you ignore it? Jay did for sure.
Starting point is 02:03:29 Does she need a banner flying over the house or does she text you or did she call? You just ignored it. No, I think she said something last night but it wasn't official. Hey by the way, happy Father's Day for tomorrow. No, but I think we've discussed this already. It's a noodnick day for the most part, except apparently for our listeners. Yes. Well, we do have some Father's Day well wishes. I looked at the spreadsheet. I saw it come in. But first, we want to remind you that the trolls who we count diligently,
Starting point is 02:04:01 they're all listening through a number of variety of ways. And they're in the troll room, of course, trollroom.io. We can listen live and you can troll along if you feel like it. Lots of trolling happening today. Suggestion, listen on a modern podcast app. Did I tell you that the research came out that it's been denied that YouTube was out there claiming they're the biggest podcast platform ever. Did you hear any of that?
Starting point is 02:04:32 I know nothing of what you speak. Okay. So, well, basically Google slash YouTube had been just going on and on. Well, people, podcasts are on YouTube. Everything's everything is a podcast. And they'd go in and automatically, if you had headphones on and microphone, they'd change your tags to it's a podcast. And then they say, oh, we've got a billion podcasts. It's like, it was fake and gay, honestly.
Starting point is 02:04:59 It was not okay. And then some guy came out from Signal Hill Research, which is part of some other big group, said, no, no, no. In fact, if you look at it, it's like over 60% listen to podcasts on podcast apps. And then the whole industry, which for a year and a half has been going, oh, you need video, you can't have a, oh, the market's demanding video. If you don't do video, you can't have a pocket. You won't be successful. No one's going to care about you.
Starting point is 02:05:27 The young people, they only watch podcasts. They don't want to listen to podcasts. On a dime they turned. People are misinterpreting what I was saying. I just felt it was the shiny new thing. So podcast wins again. think, boo, so podcast wins again. You cannot.
Starting point is 02:05:52 In fact, I would say that podcast is the biggest medium in media in general. I think you could probably make that claim. And I think somebody might be able to prove it. Well, if you take four and a half million podcasts, let's say the average. Yeah. Well, almost… When I go YouTube TV, I do not have four and a half… Even with Pluto, I do not have four and a half million channels. A 1.8 of those million comes from Anchor, formerly known as Anch as anchor which is a free host and now is Spotify for
Starting point is 02:06:26 Podcasts is still free. So a lot of those are like test one two poop, right? Okay, that's your podcast They got one episode. Yes, let's let's just presume that on average every podcast has a hundred listeners That's 400 million, 450 million. It dwarfs everything. You are either a podcast or you don't exist in media land. That's just it. Podcasting is bigger than anything else en masse, and it's distributed and no one owns
Starting point is 02:07:00 it and no one can take it down. Good try YouTube, who came out and said, YouTube, you know, they've never reported their numbers. I don't even think they're profitable. If you were making tons of money with YouTube, wouldn't you say, hey, YouTube did really great? Wouldn't you put that in your numbers? They've been very secretive about all their numbers.
Starting point is 02:07:23 Well, they still report numbers. They're a public company. Yeah, their numbers. The way they report numbers is like they don't want anyone knowing what their formula, underlying formula for number generation is. So they, Google's always, even before YouTube, they were always very sketchy about how they reported numbers. They had the money.
Starting point is 02:07:40 There's money here. Look at this pile of money. Well that's pretty much all you know. The report they came out with is, we contribute $55 billion to the GDP of the world. Okay, does that include camera companies and cell phones? That number's probably true, but the underlying foundational calculations for that number are a mystery.
Starting point is 02:08:05 They had to make special chips just to encode all the video they get to do it with any kind of speed. I mean, I just don't see why. It doesn't matter. Podcasting, MP3s, we're glad you're listening. We've never done video, we're never gonna do video. That's one thing I can say, we're never gonna do that. We're just too old and boomery. No one wants that. Look at us. Yeah, we're too old to do video. That's one thing I can say. We're never going to do that. We're just too old and boomery.
Starting point is 02:08:26 No one wants to look at us. We're too old and boomery. You don't want to watch a couple of boomers with cans on their heads. What's worse than two boomers on a podcast is two boomers on a video podcast. That's the worst. You don't want that. I can't imagine that. So anyway, try out a modern podcast app.
Starting point is 02:08:42 It works with all of your existing podcasts and it has lots of benefits, including chapters with art, which is nice, which you can crowd source those. Dreb Scott does them for us. But I think the most exciting pieces are that you listen to the live show in the podcast app. It alerts you when we go live. We've got the bat signal. And when we publish, and this is the one that is most appropriate for today's issues, particularly with some of the legacy apps where you've got people
Starting point is 02:09:12 complaining, oh, he's not an apple. Within 90 seconds of us publishing the podcast, it shows up on the modern podcast apps. That's why you want to get one right there. Everything else is kind of the same. And there's like 27 other new features, but you can figure those out for yourself. We are still a value for value program, which means we just give you our unadulterated opinion, years of experience, years of doing media deconstruction.
Starting point is 02:09:44 I mean, I have doing media deconstruction. I mean, I have end of show mix. I just pulled out all the bomb-a-ran clips again. This is the fifth time we've used them in the history of the show. You could just keep up pulling them out. Yeah, but they're still good. They're still valid.
Starting point is 02:09:56 You just keep pulling them out. There we go again, time to bomb-a-ran. It's always the same people saying it too. So we thank people who give us time, their talent, their treasure. We always thank people who support us financially, $50 and above will mention your name. But before we even get to that,
Starting point is 02:10:16 you mentioned earlier, the artists. We should indeed be nominated for album art for a Grammy. I would gladly, it wouldn't be funny if we went up there to accept it. We've got a Grammy for best album art. Uh, uh, uh. Go podcasting! That's what you'd make me say. I know you'd make me say that.
Starting point is 02:10:37 Yeah, that's definitely, you'd have to say that. So we have No Agenda Art Generator, which is one of the great examples of time, talent, and treasure. That is Sir Paul Couture who put that together for us. And the artists have been uploading art for well over a decade, maybe 15 years, with different versions of the Art Generator. So we always get to, right after the show, we get to choose from a plethora of art, which I have to say I'm seeing model collapse before my very eyes. Everyone's using AI these days. They've gone from photographic type images. Now it's just all
Starting point is 02:11:11 cartoony. And the cartoons, they're starting to look the same, like the same cartoon. The same. It's like that's why we got confused. I was my thesis that digital 1- one, two, two, one, one, five, whatever his name is. Digital man, one, two, one, one, two. Was Darren O'Neill. Yeah. Because it all looks the same now. Because the cartoon they have this, they're prompting, I don't know if they're
Starting point is 02:11:34 using the same software, maybe they're not, that would make it even worse. But this happened with the last DH unplugged that's coming up is the, or the one last week or the one coming, there's one, some art that Andrew did, it is the same, it looks like it was done by O'Neill. I mean, it's got the same character, cartoon type, it's just like a certain, it's annoying. It's the second law of thermodynamics, entropy.
Starting point is 02:12:02 You can't stop it. It's just unstoppable. When this stuff keeps eating its own art, it's just going to get worse and worse and worse. And then you know, well no, but there's this new one. Yeah, because it hasn't been saturated with its own output yet. There's gonna be a lot of new ones apparently. Well of course, because everyone knows. You hang around long enough. I mean, who still uses Dali? Please. That was the cat's meow back in the day.
Starting point is 02:12:30 I do. Yeah. Well, where's your art then? I don't know. Exactly. We want to thank our artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1772. And it was indeed digital 2112 man for the concept. There were multiple versions of the concept and this was not perfect by any stretch of
Starting point is 02:12:52 the imagination. No, because he left out the term Dr. Pepper. Yes, the most important part was left out but he had the album cover concept correct. So that's why we chose it. It's you know, it I guess it's John and George You and me No, but I know I'm well, who am I then I'm not the guy with the mustache You're the guy with the glasses with a hat. Yeah. I'm the guy with a hat Had the right idea and let's just go take a look at the other art because there was
Starting point is 02:13:26 there was one other which actually had Dr Pepper on it because that was a mistake. You said Dr Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. It was funny and so we had well there was also Digital2112 man. He did no agendas Dr Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club, Curry and Dvorak band, but it was just a poster. It wasn't even the right thing. He should have combined those two. Yeah, he should have. It's a misser.
Starting point is 02:13:53 But if you're just working with prompts, you can say combine the two and you won't get what you want. Yeah. But everything, everything is AI. And it's just blending together. It's all starting to look alike. you won't get what you want. Yeah. But everything, everything is AI. And it's, and it's just blending together. It's all starting to look alike. The good example is digital 2112s. If you go down further and you got the two cartoons next to each other, keep that story in your pants and know Kings, which I like to know Kings one,
Starting point is 02:14:22 but the cartoon style is the same as Darren O'Neill's cartoon style and every other cartoon style and the same one that Horowitz ran into. Because that's all, it's not even outputting good stuff anymore. In fact, Scaramanga's Mexican protestican down further down, which I liked a lot, but you Test the can down further down, which I liked a lot, but you Well, Rejected because curry and Devark was too small. You can't read it was too small. It was too small But why is why is Scaramanga doing that? What happened to his photo realistic stuff? It can't be done anymore. I'm telling you It's like Mike Mike Riley's
Starting point is 02:15:01 Entire all the boomers were complaining about AI No, I got more complaints sucked up. You're always two boomers complaining about AI. No, I got more complaints coming up. Oh yeah. Just so you know. Known fact. Was there anything else that we liked? Yeah, you liked the crosswalk down below Scaramanga's thing, which I use for the newsletter.
Starting point is 02:15:18 Yeah, because, and the only reason why is that kind of reminded me of the Beatles, you know, the Abbey Road album cover. And it was okay. But again, digital 2112 man. And what's going to happen is his art is going to start sucking because the AI is sucking up his art and it's going to suck worse. It's just, it's going to degrade. Digital 2112 man also did the one, another one I like, which was the rotten fruit.
Starting point is 02:15:44 Yeah, you just was the rotten fruit. Yeah. You just like the next layer. Did you hear that the Atari chess computer program beat Chad GPT chess? No. Got the Atari program in an emulator from this eighties. Yes. Yeah. It, it, and, and Chad GPT was mad. It was like, well, you know, had all kinds of excuses. If we just start over, then I can show you I can win was basically Chad GPT's answer every single time. Yeah. I think, yeah, that's when you walk. Yeah, sure. Two out of three, five, three out of five. Yeah, right. Five out of seven, what's next? That just goes to show, you know, this stuff is no good
Starting point is 02:16:26 It's no what it's great for Is uh so-called uh help desk. I think it's great for that Yeah, how can I help you? Your trash will be picked up on Thursday. Would you like a special time for ten dollars extra? It can do that I think help desk call center, valid. Everything else, no good. Art, disappointing. Disappointing. I miss our artists. I really do. They've deserted us. I think their new Prom Jockey artists are doing just fine. This stuff is good.
Starting point is 02:17:00 I think it sucks. It's not fine. Okay. It's fine. Yes. It's fine. It's not great. It's just fine. Okay. If you have a funny concept, you can still win, but it's not, there's nothing is stunning anymore. Do you think there's anything stunning? Like, wow, that's just so great. So beautiful. No, no about saying any one of these pieces that you bitch and moan about constantly. If you put it back in time, five years and dropped it in, it would win. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:29 Mike Riley, exactly. And he's deserted us. Yes, Mike Riley has left the building. I don't even think he listens to the show anymore. No, no, because of you. He's like, that duvor, I hate him. All right. So, thank you very much.
Starting point is 02:17:45 Digital man 2112 for your win and no agenda art generator.com anybody can prompt and participate these days apparently.

Starting point is 02:21:42 Could take Dina to Lake Michigan. Troy Walters. Yes? I was going to say, maybe one of the reasons the trolls are so low today, I just got a note from Janet who says she's been trying to listen to the live stream and she can't. No. How long do I have to wait? It says it's coming, but will it?
Starting point is 02:22:03 Should I give up? Where is she looking? I don't know. Oh, you know what? No, I, no, I, I hit the life. I hit the bat signal. Everybody got the bat single. I don't know what she's talking about.

Yeah, the one. Yes, yes. The one where the guy gets shot in the alley. Shot in the head. Yeah. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 02:23:12 I guess he was one of the... I think I'm pretty sure Troy is one of the producers of that. And that was before AI. I don't remember the thing when it came out. Oh, I do. And it was before AI. And they did some video overlays and looked pretty good. It was fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:25 The Gitmo Nation cops trying to come and get people shooting them in the head. And people with Hello Slave t-shirts where you could still wear them. Good times. Thank you very much, Troy. Thank you for everything, brother. So Janet has sent in a bunch of screenshots from the troll room and she claims she can't hear anything. I Look, I can't I can't I know I can't do anything. I'm just saying tech stuff for her. Maybe something's amiss There's nothing amiss. It works fine
Starting point is 02:23:59 Okay. Well, I'm just saying she's I don't normally see this sort of complaining. I don't know what to tell you. I can't help it. I'm doing a show. Okay. I'll send you the note. Yeah. Take care of it later. Uh, okay.

No additional items at the table for me, no jingles, no karma. God bless Chris. All right.
Starting point is 02:24:50 Then we go to Joep van der Pyt in Anthoven in the Netherlands, $1,000. And he says, a few weeks ago, I asked John to bring back the PhD immediate to construction because I think that having attended more than 400 classes and over 400 years now qualifies me for this coveted academic title. Yes, he was the one who triggered this. So I was thrilled to hear I could be graduating in the class of 25. I hereby send you my tuition fee which also brings me to instant knighthood. As my knight name I would like to be known as Sir Vicks Destroyer. Wait, that's way too offensive. Let's go for Sir Tyified Maverick. What do you think that is? T-I-F-I-E-D. Hello, I'm looking for feedback. I have got nothing. Certified Maverick of the Peaks and Polders. Tiffied, tiffied.
Starting point is 02:25:47 No, it's not tiffied. Tiffied, tiffied. Certified, certified. Oh, certified, certified. Well, duh. Certified Maverick, okay, got it, of the Peaks and Polders, as it reflects my cultural heritage
Starting point is 02:26:01 being born in Colorado near Pikes Peak and living in the Netherlands. Can I have tulips and tumbleweeds at the round table please? Why yes, of course you may. Can't eat those? Well, you can, hey, whatever you want, you can have whatever you want. Can't have it at the arrangement. Yes, a centerpiece.
Starting point is 02:26:18 I have a couple of requests. When I donated for the first time a while back, my note mentioned that I didn't want to be a douchebag when meeting Adam at the meetup near Schiphol, but I forgot to explicitly ask for a deducing, therefore I never got one, please officially deduce me. You've been deduced. Also could you put my girlfriend Oshra on the birthday list for show 1777? You're gonna have to email us back brother. I mean, Jay is pretty good at it, but email just in case.
Starting point is 02:26:50 She turns 40 on the 30th of June. Last time I donated, I asked for jobs and relationship karma, but I received neither. Since then, I did manage to find both a great job and an awesome girlfriend. So I guess I can go karma-less this time around. However, he wants WTC 7 and we told you so on no agenda which is actually a banned jingle but it's we've banned it so long that I'll play it
Starting point is 02:27:12 because we don't like spiking the ball thank you for your curd says yoop thunder prits there you go. Yeah, that's no good. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, that was a long, I always call that a long note. Long note. That was a long note.
Starting point is 02:27:35 There's more to come. But Baronetess Kelly in Sayville, New York. Okay, Ville. Uh, I see them gents. I hope you have a very happy Father's Day and a happy Father's Day to my amazing husband, Joe. Yo, yo, Joe. Thanks for putting up with all the estrogen in our household. Just some yak karma.

In the morning, sorry to blow out your spreadsheet again, John. Not long ago, I got my tax return in the mail, I asked my wife if I could donate it to No Agenda.
Starting point is 02:28:25 Reluctantly she said yes. That's a good idea. This small amount of stolen treasure I've been able to recover is being donated in honor of my father for Father's Day which will make him a Knight. He should be knighted Sir Preston, Knight of the CS. I'd also like to call out Jeremiah as a douchebag. When the mask mandates were in place, Dad went to hospital a few times. When he was told to mask up, he told the nurses that he can't because he has CS. Why? Because CS stands
Starting point is 02:28:53 for common sense. I don't think he's listed on the nights. Okay, I'll check it. Dad, you're an amazing father and role model to me and your other human resources. I love you. On a more sobering note, I would like to ask for prayers for all those who have taken the jab. Life goes on and it isn't easy to be ignorant when you're healthy, but I worked with someone who recently died of heart complications after being through hell and back with blood thinners, medications and open heart surgery.
Starting point is 02:29:22 It's frightening to hear people discuss taking 10 different medications to counteract the side effects of the one or two they actually need. He was also vaxxed and boosted. His wife also started having similar issues though I haven't kept up with her. Another former co-worker of mine who was only 59 had two strokes and has been calling me to tell me she won't be coming in for work even though that even though that she stopped working here over a year ago. Adam, go set Rogan straight about AI. He's becoming part of the OP. I did it on the last show I told him it was he was wrong. With love, Sir Amzie, Knight of the Northern Plains, may God bless the two of you and thank you for your courage. So let me make sure we have Sir Preston, Knight of the Sea S on the list. Okay, you may continue while I do that.
Starting point is 02:30:14 Yes, Angel Young in Tucson, Arizona. Our first associate executive producer, 26322. There's no note. That means a double up karma. You're getting all the good ones today.

Which reminds me of a million golf jokes. On the 11th green at Bishop Stortford Golf Club in Hertfordshire. Thinking of you on this special day dad for all the great dads, Sir Stuart, the angry accountant.
Starting point is 02:31:32 All right. Sir Donald, Sir Donald of Calgary, Edmonton, Alberta, Scandinavia, 233.99 in the morning, John and Adam, please accept my donation of 222.22 USD. He did give us 233.99 equals 222.22. It seems unlikely. Isn't Canada almost like 40% down from our US dollar? Wouldn't be up.

She's obviously the one who designs the packaging. That is so nice. You usually hear from Eli, but I wanted to jump in for a second. Eli's at the heart of Gigawatt and on top of everything he does for the business, he's also a full-time dad to our energetic little guy while I work my day job. He's up early chasing a toddler, keeping our whole world moving and something and somehow still reads bedtime stories like nothing ever happened.

Satsuma, Alabama. $201. I did 40 installments of value for value. Add in a couple extra donations. Fin finishing with an executive today
Starting point is 02:35:26 For my lovely keeper you can do it, too I'm vacationing in my birth state of Montana what a great Father's Day gift. This is for my keeper I would like to be Sir Mountain Man of the big sky Thank you for your time and insight for safe travels home Throw me a karma and the oldest jingle in your catalog and then the most recent jingle in the catalog the Alpha and Omega. So I looked it up and the oldest that I have in my catalog is actually I didn't even I'd forgotten all about this. We have we in fact we just played this one it is the oldest one that we have then it's a two-parter and that is the WTC 7 jingle and I'd forgotten that it consists of two parts.
Starting point is 02:36:11 Here we go, the oldest jingle in the catalog. WTC 7 won't go away That's part one, here comes. I don't know how to tell my baby That's it, that's the oldest one we have. And I think that's right. That's at least by file date that makes sense. And then the most recent one...
Starting point is 02:36:37 What's that in your mouth? Which is soon to be an instant classic everybody. You've got karma. Huh. And finally on the list, Linda Lupatkin in Lakewood, Colorado. 200 bucks and she wants Jobs K. And asks, Need a resume that tells your story, highlights your wins, and shows you why you're unique, visit
Starting point is 02:37:06 ImageMakersInc.com for a resume that gets results. That's ImageMakersInc.com with a K and work with Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes. Oh, a little addition there. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! Yes! And I did get a note from Sergeant Fred Castaneda. The reason I couldn't find it because I always say Sergeant Fred Castaneda, but it's Castaneda. And he sent us the check for $201 on the last show, which I couldn't find his note. And he did want to say part of his humble honoring those this was for actually for May 25. So everything came in late. He's a Vietnam veteran. He says I deliver this as part of my own humble honoring those whose lives were
Starting point is 02:37:55 taken away in combat. This is for Memorial Day 2025. As you know, I served in combat during the Vietnam War as a combat infantryman. and I do respect the memorial. I want to emphasize that this year the Memorial Day honors are special. In fact Bill O'Reilly mentioned in his blog that there should be a special proclamation for Vietnam veterans and he thinks that would be a good idea and he would like everyone to ask President Trump to have a special Vietnam vets in America proclamation for Memorial Day. I don't know if it happened for this Memorial Day, but certainly for next year. Of course, it's more than 50 years.
Starting point is 02:38:33 And he always sends me a beautiful photo that was, I think, in Time magazine of Sergeant Fred in Vietnam, up to his waist in swamp water, and he was a handsome devil, man, he was a handsome devil man. He was a handsome he was like all-american soldier so we appreciate you sergeant Fred and Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1773 of the best podcast in the universe We will be thanking the rest of our donors $50 and above you could always go to no agenda donations calm You can support us with any amount that you want.

We go out, we hit people in the mouth. So I promised some griping about AI.
Starting point is 02:39:49 You did? Yeah. I thought that promise was a promise for the future. No, no. Well, the future is here. Welcome to the future. It's actually two clips. Apple had their big WWDC conference and you know, liquid glass.
Starting point is 02:40:07 It's gorgeous. But missing, missing from all of the announcements was the overhyped and overpromised Apple intelligence. And the Wall Street Journal somehow amazingly got an exclusive interview with Craig Federici. You know Craig, he's the chief of software. And Greg Joswiak, he is the head of marketing. And she's like, hey, what happened to Siri? Aren't you Apple? What happened to Siri? Where is our super-apert happened to Siri? Weren't you supposed, aren't you Apple? What happened to Siri? Where is our super Apple intelligence from Siri? Yeah, you got liquid glass, it's gorgeous,
Starting point is 02:40:49 but what about your AI strategy? Last year you announced a smarter AI driven Siri. Where is she? We had a really two phase plan, two versions of an architecture to deliver a great Siri. And as we got into the conference, we had V1 working to do basic capabilities that we showed off at the conference.
Starting point is 02:41:14 So we had some real software we were able to demonstrate there and show what was coming, but it didn't converge in the way quality wise that we needed it to. That's Apple speak for, it really sucked. We had something working, but then as you got off the beaten path and we know with Siri, it's open ended what you might ask it to do.
Starting point is 02:41:33 And the data that might be on your device that would be used in personal knowledge. And we wanted to be really, really reliable. In other words, it was hallucinating. And we weren't able to achieve the reliability in the time we thought. But there was a working version of this. This wasn't just vaporware.
Starting point is 02:41:49 Oh yeah. Oh no, no, no, no, no, of course. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, saw. Yeah, there's this narrative out there that, yeah, it was demo where only no, it was, it was again something we thought as Craig said, we'd actually ship by later in the year. And look, we don't want to disappoint customers. We never do, but it would have been more disappointed to ship something that didn't hit our quality standard
Starting point is 02:42:20 that had an error rate that we felt was unacceptable. So we made what we thought was the best decision. I'd make it again. Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave. Never would Steve Jobs admit defeat like that. He would blame it on the user. You're holding it wrong. You did it wrong.
Starting point is 02:42:38 You're doing it wrong. We'll send you a rubber bumper, but you're doing it wrong. So of course, how is this possible? You're Apple. It's great that you set this high bar. You're also Apple. I mean, you've got more engineers, more cash than most companies, maybe any company. Why can't, why couldn't you make it work? I mean, this is, this is new technology. I think when it comes to automating capabilities on devices in a reliable way, no one's doing it really well right now. We wanted to be the first, we wanted to do it best, and like I said, we had very promising
Starting point is 02:43:17 early results in working initial versions, but not to the level that as we began living on it internally and feeling like this, this just doesn't work reliably enough to be an Apple product. So this stuff takes hard work, but we do see AI as a long-term transformational wave, as one that's going to affect our industry and then, and of course our society for decades to come. We want to get it right. There's no need to rush out
Starting point is 02:43:45 with the wrong features and the wrong product just to be first. We suck. Womp, womp, womp, womp. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo because it's no good. It just is no good. It's not gonna happen. If Apple can't do it, who can? I mean, they can make it look gorgeous, but no. I don't think it can be done, John. I don't think it can be done. It can be done, but not by Apple.
Starting point is 02:44:16 Nah. It's no good. It's not, it's no good. All they had to do is just release Siri with a different voice and say it was AI, they would have gotten away with it. Have anonymous Indians in the background just scrambling answering questions. Yeah, do that.
Starting point is 02:44:31 Do that with 700 Indians. So we know that the COVID shot is very controversial in America because people are losing access to it. Just because it's not recommended, they're not losing access. But interestingly, Canada is following suit. Healthy individuals will be paying out of pocket if they want a COVID-19 shot. The province making the announcement Friday, it means starting this fall, most Albertans will have to pay full price for the vaccines and the shots will be administered through community health clinics not available at pharmacies as they have been in years past. Now there are exceptions, seniors in supportive living environments, home care clients, and those older than 65 or six months and older with any underlying medical conditions
Starting point is 02:45:25 or immunocompromised. They're going to kill their seniors. They just want to get rid of them. Well, that's Canada's whole thing. Oh, they always have the option to, you know, you, you're going to have this heavy medical bill or you can kill yourself. Well, this has been a Canada thing for some time. I happened to have two clips from Dell Big Tree, you know, Dell Big Tree. Yeah. Um, and he had on this woman, what's her name? Angelina Ireland.
Starting point is 02:45:54 And she had quite an interesting story about the, so made is the name of the, is the acronym for medically assisted something death. What is it medically assisted induced death. What is it? Medically assisted induced death? What does it stand for again? M-A-D Canada. Medically assisted, oh, medical assistance in dying.
Starting point is 02:46:16 It's even easier to remember. Medical, it's not even a night cool term. It's like, eh, medical assistance in dying. So it seems to be kind of a mandatory feature Medical it's not even a night cool terms like yeah Canadian so It seems to be kind of a mandatory feature of all health care in Canada at the time when they were pushing made down on to Everybody who gets public money, okay, so any any company that gets public money anywhere Well, it's a public health care system. Everybody gets public money. So everyone's on it?
Starting point is 02:46:47 Everybody's getting public money. So it's everybody. It's everybody. So we did have a public-private partnership with the Fraser Health Authority. And we were told in our hospice, so I became the president of the Delta Hospice Society. and we were told because we had a hospice that we operated, a facility that we actually built.
Starting point is 02:47:13 We fundraised eight million dollars, we built it. We got a land lease for 35 years, we built those buildings on it. We were told that if we want money, we're gonna have to start killing our patients. And we said, well, we're not killing our patients. We're palliative care, we don't do that. Right, the whole point is to just ease the suffering
Starting point is 02:47:33 as they go through this experience. Live well. Life, yeah. Until your natural end, which we can help you with. Yeah. Right? And so they said, well, you're not getting any more money. And we said, that's fine.
Starting point is 02:47:42 We don't want your money and we don't need your money Wow, okay, right. So we had we're sitting on this land with our buildings So we had 25 years left on that land lease So as soon as we started to resist and be defiant not get into lockstep They canceled that lease with 25 years left Wow, right Yeah You evicted us from our buildings, took our money away, and basically took our facility from us, kicked us off the land, and expropriated those buildings, eight and a half million dollars worth, and to the government. So the government walked in,
Starting point is 02:48:18 started to operate our hospice with us gone, and provide euthanasia there. our hospice with us gone and provide euthanasia there. Man, they're just killing their citizens. This is the medical system in both countries. We had that clip from the Joe Rogan show last show where the woman talked about how the hospital is just killing patients with a morphine overdose. Get rid of them. Yeah, get rid of them. Yeah, get rid of them.
Starting point is 02:48:46 But yeah, this idea that, well, you know, you get some money from us, you got to kill some of these people off. I mean, there are drainouts, there are useless eaters. This is the kind of elitist mentality we're dealing with here. You know, what good is it? So what grandma's in the, she's, yeah, okay, she's alive. So what, get rid of her.
Starting point is 02:49:11 It's kind of ghoulish. Kind of? I mean, this is the thing people in Fredericksburg should be worried about. I'm sorry, they're not, because you know, President Trump is gonna roll out the med beds and it's gonna be great. You know about the med beds, don't you?
Starting point is 02:49:26 No, here we go. Oh, everyone's talking. I thought we mentioned this. Med beds. Med beds. Med beds. Look it up. Med beds.
Starting point is 02:49:36 M-E-D-B-E-D-S. Well, just to explain. The med beds. Oh, it's a new breakthrough and President Trump's going to roll it out. They're going gonna be everywhere The med bed is you lay down on the bed. No matter what issue you have. It has sonic vibrations It will heal all the sonic vibration. It will heal you The med beds because we know it's vibes that cause everything Does the work vibes man? I'll be vibe coding on my med bed
Starting point is 02:50:04 This is the second part to this because of course, Dell says... Yes. Sorry? I'm going to tell you, you can get Clip of the Day for that. Oh, well thank you very much. That wasn't even expected. As a follow-up, Dell said, well, what about the media? Aren't they covering this? A period of time.
Starting point is 02:50:26 And all just because you're like, we're not going to offer death as one of the options in our hospice. That's right. So you are now compelled. You see, and this kind of made, right, is conquest and then compel. That's the dance. That's the modus operandi that they're using and that's going to be facilitated by the court system, by the judiciary.
Starting point is 02:50:49 Yeah. Right? And all of our courts and our judges are appointed in Canada, appointed by the government. Yes. And so the government is controlling the whole thing. And so where does the media come into this? Why is the media not pushing back? I mean, because I mean here, I mean, I know here we have pharmaceutical control of our media, so we'd be kind of screwed here, but you don't have that in Canada. No, we have government control of our media. The government gives the media billions of dollars. So basically it's, you know, I joke kind of not really, that is like Soviet-style Pravda. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:51:23 That's our media. So none of the television stations, they all get government funding? They all get money. But particularly the CBC, that's the state media outlet, and they get money. And of course, we have never been able to get our message onto the legacy media, into the mainstream media. It's all very pro-made. So people don't really even know how bad it is. Well, that's why you get all your Canadians listening to the No Agenda Show.
Starting point is 02:51:51 We'll tell you how bad it is. Just give in. Just become our... We're not getting any government money. Well, at least that we know of. We're getting that Jew money though. We don't get enough Jew money or government money. All right. Five-minute warning. Okay. Well, I got a couple of...
Starting point is 02:52:10 Let's see what we can do here. I don't have much left anyway. Well, we could... I was watching Netflix and there's a special called Cocaine Flights or something. Some cocaine specials. specials, very short documentary and it involves Sarkozy and they were trying to blame him for smuggling cocaine or something and he says a joke but then meanwhile this smear piece comes out on Sarkozy from the BBC. They're out to get Sarkozy. The former French
Starting point is 02:52:43 president Nicolas Sarkozy has been stripped of France's highest honor, the Legion d'honneur, as a result of his conviction for corruption. Mr. Sarkozy was found guilty of bribing a judge four years ago and finally handed a three-year sentence in December last year. Wow. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 02:53:00 Yeah, of course not. Why would you? No. So my last clip, I'll play a TikTok clip. Oh, thank goodness. I'm going to save one of them for later, but this one here is... These are embarrassing. These are racist clips that keep cropping up. And it's not like anyone's making these dumb women go online and say stupid stuff.
Starting point is 02:53:24 And you have to look at it and say, is she an actress? Is this acting? And you have to say, no, I don't think it is. And in this case, it's a woman complaining about having her car repaired. And she doesn't understand the word catalytic. She thinks it's Cadillac. And so she doesn't get the fact there she thinks they're trying to convert her Jeep into a Cadillac and it's just a it's a mess
Starting point is 02:53:50 I love it when people think that I'm stupid I love when people think that I'm stupid cuz tell me why I'm at the mechanic shop and he talking about I need a Cadillac converter But I drive a Jeep Make it make sense. I'm stupid Ladies when y'all going down to the mechanic shop, take somebody with y'all. Your brother, your uncle, your daddy, your boyfriend, somebody. Stop going to these mechanic shops by yourselves because they know we don't know anything about cars. So they're trying to give us any type of services that we services we don't
Starting point is 02:54:20 even need. Outrageous prices. Because I don't understand make it make sense a Cadillac converter, I don't even have a catalytic Jeep converter, maybe they think we stupid ladies Don't let these mechanics play in your face and it'd be the shade tree ones all the way down to the dealerships They all try to play in our faces So next time when I go get my car fixed make best believe I'm going to have somebody with me because I'm not playing with these people today. I'm not playing with these people. They think they got me, but they ain't got me.
Starting point is 02:54:52 I have a, since we're doing car talk, I have a car story. So Tina went to get a new car, not a new car, a year old, you know, we're not stupid. I'm not going to buy a brand new car. So she goes to the dealer, she gets a year old car and I said, just make sure it has everything you want. And the one thing she asked for was adaptive cruise control, which is, it's a nice feature. Adaptive?
Starting point is 02:55:20 Yeah, so that you can just set the cruise control and it'll stay X amount of car lengths behind the car in front of you if the car slows down your car slows down radar In the car. Okay. Yeah LIDAR or whatever. It's a call it. It's every car has it these days So she gets the car she comes back and and it was my request. It was wasn't even she doesn't care She's a car girl. She like she likes to drive. She't, I don't want any cruise controls for wimps. So it was my request. I'm a wimp. I like adaptive cruise control. And I say, oh, it has cruise control, but it's not adaptive.
Starting point is 02:55:56 She says, what? And I said, well, if you want to go back, she says, nah, it's fine. The big F word, it's fine. I don't need adaptive cruise control. It's her car. It's her car F word. It's fine. I don't need adaptive. It's her car. It's her car. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:56:06 I just won't drive your car because it doesn't have adaptive cruise control. It's her car. She says, it's fine. And then, uh, so she gets the survey and she puts on the survey, you know, not five stars, four stars because, and she puts in there and Tina's a survey girl too. She fills out surveys cause she's a used to be in marketing and she's there, Tina's a survey girl too, she fills out surveys. Because she used to be in marketing and she said, I would fill out the survey, let people know. And she says, yeah, the sales guy said it had adaptive cruise control and it didn't, otherwise I'm happy with the car.
Starting point is 02:56:37 The sales guy calls her, can I send you the survey again because I get dinged in my compensation if I don't get five stars on everything So what is the point of the survey? Oh, this is classic this happened to me when I was flying Emirates do tell I Dive told the story in the show before I don't think you fly Emirates there I'm going to Dubai and so you're in the Emirates, which is a great airline I mean, this is the most comfortable airline, beautiful food. Of course, everyone's all covered up in burkas, but besides that, it's a nice flight. And before the flight ends, they have these magazines that they give
Starting point is 02:57:16 everybody. They say, on page six of this magazine, we want you to fill out these surveys. And then they monitor you. And so you have like three or four in-flight magazines from various companies and you have to, which is your favorite airline? You got to check Emirates and so they check your work. What is this? No, no, no, not Cat Day Pacific, it's Emirates they'll throw it out. It's like, what, what kind of a survey is this? They do this everywhere. It's a great airline, but come on people.
Starting point is 02:57:53 Yeah. And Tina also got a new phone. Her old phone, she had had her phone like five years, things falling apart. So we go to the T-Mobile store, you know, and it takes forever. It takes longer to get a phone than a car. Yeah. Oh, back it up and move it over.
Starting point is 02:58:09 I gave up on T-Mobile for this exact reason. And then as we're about ready to leave, the guy says, you know, you'll get a survey. Um, it would be great if you could give me five stars, uh, because anything less than I get docked on my commission. What is the point of the survey if they're setting you up like that? This is un-American. This should not be happening this way. However, if you get a survey asking you about the No Agenda Show, please give us five stars. all the people who could do this. Oh yeah, that'd be fun. Five stars for all of our supporters in the time talent and treasure division of the treasure division that is $50 and above. We thank you all so much as a lot
