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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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-
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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...
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Wow, it is a beach house.
Yeah, it's a cool beach house.
How big?
Let me see.
Does it say how many, how many, let it say how many rooms?
It looks big.
Seven bedrooms.
Three and a half baths.
That is beautiful.
It's got a bonus room, a breakfast room.
Oh man, I'm gonna get a deal.
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?
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.
I'm going to say she has two notes and she's so panicked.
Well, did she go to trollroom.io?
That's, I mean, I've said it a million times.
Anyway, Troy Walters in long
long Warren the Lang Warren Lang Warren Lang Warren Victoria Australia one thousand dollars
which I'm guessing is uh is Australian dollar reviews matters not night number three
he says do you remember when John ran the strip club
and he sends a link actually I saw this note come in and I and I posted the link
on X this is the Gitmo nation murder in Australia do you remember that whole
YouTube video from 13 years ago did you look at it vaguely no oh it's so good
they'd had a whole idea Oh, no, I did.
Yeah, the one. Yes, yes.
The one where the guy gets shot in the alley.
Shot in the head.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was great.
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.
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
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.
Onward.
Yeah.
I think you had the, which where I was.
No, I, you're up with Chris Kearns.
Oh, Chris.
Yes.
Come on, man.
Stay with it.
Billerica, Billerica, Billerica.
Is that right? Massachusetts. Never heard of it. That's a thousand bucks. No, sounds right. Thanks
for the show. I'd like my knight named to be Sir Chris of Billerica. I know it's pronounced
differently. It's got to be. Belarica. No additional. What? Maybe Belarica. Could be
Barabelarica, it could be.
No additional items at the table for me, no jingles, no karma.
God bless Chris.
All right.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Thanks, boys.
Baronetus Kelly of the Longest Island.
You've got...
...Harmla.
Oops, there's a topper.
Yeah, Amzie Meyer from New Rockford, North Dakota, 333.33.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. You've got
Moving right along to Daniella pompo pompo Daniella pompo
Los Angeles, California 250 dollars and she says happy birthday DJT, which should be Donald Jane Donald John Trump. There you go
Thank you.
Brain.
So you skipped Sir Stuart.
Oh, well you do Sir Stuart, I'm sorry.
I will.
Sir Stuart and St-
We should put Trump on the birthday list, why not?
Sir Stuart and Stafford, Staffordshire, UK, 25270
to my late father, Ken Walton,
who died 24 years ago on Father's Day.
That's putting a crimp
in the celebration, putting for a birdie, well, putting for a birdie on the 11th.
Oh, God.
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.
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.
In honor of my dad, Dr. Cornell Philipchuk, who passed away due to bile duct cancer this past January.
This is sad, sad notes here.
While he left on his own terms, he was gone too soon.
I miss you dad.
I've been in Edmonton for a while after my dad's passing, but now I'm looking for a house
back in Calgary, so kindly give me some house hunting karma as I try to get my ducks in a row.
Jingles, John's Hot Pockets, Train's Good, Plane's Bad, and of course, F Cancer.

And there's Jen the coffee lady in Bensonville, Illinois 20615 as hey guys this is Jen
the other half of Gigawatt Coffee Roaster. 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.
And yeah, coffee helps a lot.
If your mornings look anything like ours, you'll feel right at home with Gigawatt.
Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.
And if you're new, use the code ITM20 to try it out.
Happy Father's Day, Eli.
We love you, Jen. How nice is that? We got Paul Lepiani. Lepiani, I think. L-E-P-I-A-N. Paul Lepiani.

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.
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...
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
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
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.
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

1773 our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
So I promised some griping about AI.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
No, here we go.
Oh, everyone's talking.
I thought we mentioned this.
Med beds.
Med beds.
Med beds.
Look it up.
Med beds.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
of Father's Day greetings in there. We promise we would read them. And John is
going to do just that.

Created fast for you and me.
Just a chip with JCB.
And sometimes at home.
Created by Dana Bernetti.
Okay, well Mimi reminded me that I have a rotation for these tips and this is the cleaning
product that I do every couple of months.
Another cleaning product. Beautiful.
Another cleaning product because people need cleaning products.
Always can use a good cleaning product. Yes, I agree.
This is a good one. It's been tested. This is leather honey. Leather honey. Now there's
different products you can get to keep your leather fresh, especially if you have a car with a leather
interior because it gets hot in there and it dehydrates the leather. Yes, the leather gets all
crackly. And you need to keep it hydrated. And leather honey. Now they also have a conditioner.
The conditioner is the one you want. They also have a cleaner.. Now they also have a conditioner, the conditioners are the one you want.
They also have a cleaner.
There's a cleaner and a conditioner,
but the cleaner you can use anything to clean your leather,
but it's the conditioner that you want leather honey.
It's not cheap, it's around $16.
And it's terrific.
It's a terrific leather product.
Do you use this on the 27 year old Lexus,
on the leather seats in the Lexus? Yes, you could use it on it. Yes, and you use it on the indoor outdoor
Dashboards particularly good on German cars which have which crack really fast
The German Leathers junk do you know what they've done with the new Lexus friend of mine brought a new Lexus
You know what they have now on the Lexus if you look away away from the road in front of you too long, the car says, hey, look at the
road.
If you start slouching, it tells you, hey, sit up straight.
And you can't turn it off as far as I know.
Oh, that, yeah, this is the Lexus Nag 3000.
I've seen these things.
