No Agenda - 1779 - "Buffy Gorilla"

Starting point is 00:00:00 June bugs. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, July 6th, 2025. This is your award winning Gilmore Nation Media assassination episode 1779. This is no agenda.

Starting point is 00:00:13 Debunking bull crap 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're burning off the fat with pink salt and lemons. I'm John C. Davorak.

Starting point is 00:00:34 Have you been watching TikTok again? Is that where that comes from? YouTube. YouTube. Oh, have you noticed how bad YouTube has become? You mean with the ads every five seconds? Well I honestly I pay to not receive the ads otherwise it would take me three days longer to clip stuff for the show.

Starting point is 00:00:55 So I don't want the ads so that's another part of the public service. Yeah but you miss out on the pink salt, lemon juice, and vinegar. It burns, it doesn't cost as much as those Zempikin's, and some poor woman in Texas is getting so skinny, she has to eat burgers and Krispy Kreme to get their weight back up. Oh no! So it's an ad. Oh, interesting.

Starting point is 00:01:20 No, I did not know that. All you have to do is watch the video. It's my favorite thing. You're missing this. Just click here and watch the video. It's only three seconds. The video, in five seconds, and then the video never ends. It's like, I don't know what the point is.

Starting point is 00:01:36 Is they testing the public by making you watch these videos that never end? It's like the Stansbury Institute videos. It's worse. Those are my favorite. Where you're watching, you're watching, and you're watching, and then like, hey, there's no timeline, I can't fast forward. There's no timeline, you can't speed it up,

Starting point is 00:01:53 you can't slow it down. I'm watching, I'm watching, like no, this is, what is this? They never tell you anything, they never get to the punchline, ever. No, just- It's a test, some sort of test. It's a- It's an of test. It's an op. I think you're right.

Starting point is 00:02:09 It is some kind of an op. Well, it's been kind of crappy around here. Well, yeah, you're in the area where that horrible... Yeah, we did not have a great, 4th of July was just completely rained out, obviously. And no parades, like everything just, it was very, very, very humid, very wet. And so pretty much everything was canceled.

Starting point is 00:02:44 And then of course we awoke on the 5th to the tragedy that happened in Kerrville. Besides the obvious, how can we help, what can we do, which was not much. In fact, they started turning people away pretty quickly because they have so many people helping, so many volunteers, and now people are just getting in the way. And I'm just baffled. I'm baffled at humanity in general, because right away, right away,

Starting point is 00:03:21 you're trying to look around, see, okay, let's get some information here. It was the 4th of July weekend, so obviously the news is, they had to call everybody like, oh, there's something going on. So you go to social media and the nut jobs, the retards, it's unbelievable. It's climate change, it's chem trails. It's 5g towers. It's cloud seeding. Blue rain cropped up again.

Starting point is 00:03:49 I don't know. Blue rain. The blue was a hoax. Like it's raining blue. It's blue. It's raining blue in Texas. It was just unbelievable. And

Starting point is 00:04:11 around here in our circles, there are people who you cannot convince them otherwise. Listen, I've been watching Ariana Masters for a long time. I trust her. She knows what she's talking about. This was clearly done by the government to punish Texas for passing the bill. I mean, I've heard everything in the past 48 hours. Everything you can imagine except the obvious. Here's this star, Ariana Masters, who has an unbelievable following. I don't know any way. You've got to slow down. This woman is just someone who has a sub stack.

Starting point is 00:04:45 I don't know who this is. I've never heard of her. Well, she's... It's like, it's a version of, what's that guy Mimi watches? The Storm Guy. Oh, right, the Storm Guy, yeah. Okay, thanks.

Starting point is 00:05:04 I'm sorry. It had come to mind, but yeah, she loves that guy. So the storm guy, you know, where you got a big weather radar. He was a tip of the day guy. Yeah. Yeah. So only he's, you know, he's actually looking at a radar and showing you what's going on. There are hundreds of people on YouTube and TikTok and Instagram who show radar screens and they interpret what they're seeing. I have a little sample so you can know. And there are people who it's a bit like Monkey Works, you know, who's following the airplanes like, oh, they're taking Hillary Clinton to Guantanamo Bay. There you go. You remember that? You remember that?

Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah, that's a good one. Max Velocity is the guy. Now Max Velocity, I like him. He's actually doing something. He's okay. He's okay, but this, listen. Oh my gosh, guys. I'm in the middle of filming my daily radar show.

Starting point is 00:05:58 I do this every single day. The anomalies, I wanna share them with you. This is what's been going on over Texas for the last day, over 24 hours. This looks like actual electricity shooting everywhere. And yes, there will be some people who come on here who are like, oh, you need to learn how to read radar. Listen, I've been watching radar every single day. I'm telling you, this is super weird.

Starting point is 00:06:23 There is not rain here. But I will tell you, the vast majority of these anomaly storms that have been coming out have been forming right here. What's going on? I want to know who lives in this area and have you been feeling off? Have you been dizzy, lightheaded? Do you know people who have gone to the ER for abnormal symptoms that were otherwise healthy? Do you know anyone with severe migraines right now? There's something going on here. Keep an eye out for Texas.

Starting point is 00:06:55 Every place that I've covered every single day, Texas has been the one state that has never gotten a blimp. What's interesting is, the theory is that one of the many things that these towers can one state that has never gotten a break. And here it comes. What's interesting is the theory is that one of the many things that these towers can supposedly do is literally heat up the atmosphere because it's microwave radiation. So if you heat up the atmosphere, creating essentially a high pressure zone, steering low pressure systems.

Starting point is 00:07:21 Notice how the high pressure zone is right here. Yeah. Coincidence? I think not. Oh, man. Yeah. No. And and she goes on for hours like that. And then there's you know, all kinds of randos on Instagram and tik tok like this. I won't play the whole thing. This dude, the minute you'll hear the minute I cut the minute I stopped watching him. After I show you what I have to show you, there'll be absolutely no doubt. No doubt of what? Exactly. minute I stopped watching him. without moving. Where have we ever seen that kind of stuff happen before? It reminds me an awful lot of North Carolina. I wonder how things like that can just happen.

Starting point is 00:08:09 I showed you earlier, whole houses being tooken away by the water. That's where I stopped. This guy just said tooken away. Like, wow, okay. So the problem is people are so, especially here, I mean, this is just south of us. We have friends that live in Comfort, friends that live in Kerrville, all the surrounding areas, people who know people who had kids in the camp, the camp, you know, like just horrific, heartbreaking stories heartbreaking stories and people are so traumatized they're just looking for anything and

Starting point is 00:08:53 Anything but logic. I mean, it's really it is so sad to me We all have supercomputers in our pockets. We can communicate 24-7 in real time. By the way, I have a commercial app. It's not from NOAA. A commercial app that was giving me warnings, you know, for 48 hours, flash flood, flash flood possible. My car even, or Tina's car, flash flood. Be careful. Then nobody looks at history. No one learns history anymore People have lost their ability to stand outside and feel what's happening It was so obvious that if you are in a floodplain, which is what all of this area is now

Starting point is 00:09:39 We're at 1400 feet elevation. So we're not gonna get here a little higher than that. We're good. We're good here. You want to be up, but you know, in the old days people would go outside and go, Hey, this is not good. This could be, this could be a bad situation. You know, we should probably get to higher ground. I can just see Paul Ingalls doing it on little house on the Prairie. I mean, we, we are so connected. We connected, we're ignoring nature. I've only been here for four years, but even I know about the devastating floods of past years. The Guadalupe River has flooded many, many times.

Starting point is 00:10:16 I actually have the list here. It's unbelievable. Not everything is well documented, but we have 1838, 1848, 1868, 1872, 1906, 1913, 177 people died in that one, 1921, 1932, 35 inches of rain, 1936, 1952, 1972, 1972 1973 all by the way in the month of July August 1978 1987 this is this is not all that long ago for me That was a that was you know, the water went up to 31 and a half feet and That was, you know, the water went up to 31 and a half feet and killed a whole bunch of campers who were in a, you know, their bus got swept away. 1989, 1991, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2015, 18, 2020, 21, 2025. It happens all the time.

Starting point is 00:11:23 But now all of a sudden it's the government who is out to get us. No, we're retarded. We have all of this communication and all we're doing is sitting on TikTok and Instagram and go, oh, look at the weather, it's raining. Even John Cornyn is a moron. And this was a 100-year flood event in an area that had been known to flood, but nothing like this where the flood waters rose 26 feet in about 45 minutes. It's not a hundred year flood event. We're going back to 1987.

Starting point is 00:11:54 Here's an actual overview that where they had some video and some sensible commentary from K-View. The Texas Hill Country is famed for its breathtaking scenery, with rivers winding through steep hills and rugged valleys. But beneath that beauty lies danger. This region is among the most flash flood-prone areas in the United States. One of the most devastating floods occurred in July 1978, when tropical storm Amelia made landfall in Corpus Christi and

Starting point is 00:12:26 moved inland. The weakened system stalled over the headwaters of the Medina and Guadalupe rivers, unleashing torrential rain across the hill country. Eight people drowned near Center Point, and 25 more lost their lives in Kerr, Kendall, and Bandera counties. Then Governor Dolph Briscoe flew to comfort to assess the damage firsthand. Until the recent July 4th floods, the deadliest weather event in the Guadalupe Rivers history came in July 1987. As much as 15 inches of rain fell west of

Starting point is 00:12:56 Hunt in the river's upper basin. A group from a Baptist church in North Texas attempted to evacuate their youth camp. As buses and vans tried to cross a low-water crossing, a wall of water surged in from the west, quickly engulfing the vehicles. Helicopter crews managed to rescue some campers and staff clinging to trees, but ten teenagers died. Flooding struck again in early July 2002 when Kerrville recorded 19 inches of rain, making it the city's wettest month since August 1978. Between Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort, an astonishing 40 to 50 inches of

Starting point is 00:13:33 rain were reported. Texas leads the nation in flood-related deaths by a significant margin. Between 1959 and 2019, at least 1,069 people died in floods across the state. A large share of those fatalities occurred in the Hill Country, a region grimly nicknamed Flash Flood Alley for good reason. There you go. So if people just knew history and thought for two seconds. It's not even really history, it's almost current events. I know.

Starting point is 00:14:03 That's what's so sad about it. And you could just, you know, there was a jet stream. There was it like 5,000 feet. I mean, it's all being a pilot. I've studied a lot of weather and you learn to kind of look at the sky and see what's going on and you read some reports, you know, uh, we have the terminal area forecast and the, and the matars and all these different reports and you're like, oh, okay. This is obvious. Then you look at, I just, I have a, what is the app I have? We have the terminal area forecast and the and the matars and all these different reports.

Starting point is 00:14:25 And you're like, oh, okay, this is obvious. Then you look at, I just, I have, what is the app I have? It's, I pay for it because I like, I like their radar, which they obviously are paying for my radar. And you can see it. And this, this came from the kind of north, northeast. It was moving very, very slowly. So it was a very atypical storm, but you could see it and it was obvious. And if you're in Kerr County and comfort, Kerrville and comfort, then you know this is dangerous.

Starting point is 00:14:59 But no, people are TikTok and Instagram and away. I'm not going to say I want to blame it on parents or anything like that But we I think we had more I mean you're like that. Of course, you're a hundred years old You know, this is where people need to respect boomers because sometimes we know stuff Now we remember things History someone in the troll just posted history started yesterday these days People are over socialized under, history started yesterday, these days. People are over-socialized, under-educated. That thing is it's not these days. We keep forgetting that little aspect of it.

Starting point is 00:15:33 This is not a new phenomenon for getting history. No, no it's not. In fact, the old saying that if you know, do them to repeat it sort of thing, the old saying is an old saying because it's always been this way. People just don't, you know, they're looking for some quick explanation like the current explanation is climate change. A lot of that. Or if you're a conspiracy type, the government's out to get Texas. Yeah. And it's because Trump defunded the NOAA. You know, if we had those satellites, you know, it would be okay.

Starting point is 00:16:08 But I think the frustration for me is, is we have all the information, the historical information, we have the data is readily available in many different forms and apps right there in your hand. And we have not improved. And you're in a flood zone. We haven't improved. We're still just retarded. It's unbelievable. And by the way, it's not like I sat there thinking,

Starting point is 00:16:34 oh, there might be campers in Kerr County. I wasn't thinking that, but I knew that this was bad. I mean, I could see the storm just sitting there and we had a lot of water around the house. But it's basically rolling off because we're at altitude. So that's the sad part is we have all the capabilities and we just sit there and we're TikToking and Instagramming and we're tweeting and posting and whining on the blue cry. And then when something bad happens, then it's harp.

Starting point is 00:17:11 By the way, I used to be a big harp guy, but this was clear what it was. Well, this could be going on for a hundred years, routinely, not even generational. It's like every few years from the rundown you have, which I think is the best I've heard to be honest about it anywhere. The one you just gave. Yeah. Uh, it just makes it ridiculous. Yeah. Anyways, and even more tragic. Yeah. Yes. Super tragic. And, and it is, I mean, everybody knows someone who lost somebody or lost their home or lost

Starting point is 00:17:47 You know just it's a it's devastating And there we go Now that's a nice way to start the show. Yeah, I congratulate happy 4th of July everybody It would it brings me to a super cut clip that I did, which would be, would have been bigger news. It's still floating around. Similar, conspiracy laid in bull crap. And this one's my favorite one currently going around, which is the notion that the government,

Starting point is 00:18:22 again, the government, is throwing people out of airplanes. You mean illegal immigrants? Yeah, they're taking illegal immigrants and flying them out to the 100 miles offshore and then throwing them out the plane. And there's plenty of documentation, yeah, there's proof. But I have, there's about four or five, I decided I couldn't play, I could play clip after clip after clip and bore people stiff, but instead I put, I put a little presentation together myself,

Starting point is 00:18:52 about a minute and 40, I guess, plain murderers. You know how there were rumors that they were throwing people out of cargo planes and it didn't make sense to transport that many people with cargo planes because it cost way much more money anyway? People have been washing up on shores shores still shackled together, deceased. This is no longer a rumor. This is what is happening. Guys, they're throwing the deportees out of the planes and into the ocean. No, this is not a drill. No, this is not fear mongering. They're shackling people,

Starting point is 00:19:23 flying out into open ocean and throwing them out. Okay? The flight patterns, there's people tracking them on this app. The flights going out with the deportees, watching them go out to open ocean and circle back. This is insane. And if it's true, then it could change everything. I knew there was something about these deportations that just didn't sit right with me and then

Starting point is 00:19:47 I found this story about a man in Colorado. His name is Alvin and it looks like he's been trying to get this story out for the past two weeks now. Long story short Alvin expresses his worry that his brother that was taken by ICE and in quotations deported is no longer alive because Alvin is friends with people that work for private contractors okay. One of which seems to have a pretty high rank in the military Alvin stated that his friend claimed that they were being paid to drop off people in the middle of the ocean we all know they've been loading

Starting point is 00:20:16 immigrants on the planes and deporting them but what I just learned is they've been shackling their hands and feet and putting them onto these military cargo planes that have the capability to open that back door mid flight. Five bodies shackled at the hands and feet washed up near Mayorca, Spain. Recently, there has been a drastic increase in flight of these planes and their flight path goes just into international waters. Yeah, this is interesting. So this is what happens.

Starting point is 00:20:43 The same as with this weather in Texas. People have the data. So we have planes flying because we got flight, flight aware or flight radar, whatever you're using. You have, you know, tons of different radar programs and people have their little setup and then they just, you know just stand in front of the blue screen or don't even need that anymore, just chroma keys you badly in front of it. And then you just point towards the data.

Starting point is 00:21:14 Here's the data. Here's proof. It's proof. It used to be fun to be a conspiracy theorist. It sucks now. Well, that's an interesting take. That's why I'm a conspiracy therapist. I've changed my vocation. So they, of course there was a wash up on shore.

Starting point is 00:21:32 I guess it was in Spain now that of course one person said it was Italy and it was obviously it was the local, some sort of bandits, you know, trying to smuggle people on boats. Cause you can't, for one thing, the logic of this is the following. They're flying a cargo plane out a hundred miles into the O or toward the ocean, a hundred miles out to sea, dumping the bodies, shackled alive into the water and then flying back at a hundred miles. Now, now the bodies shackled have to travel across the ocean,

Starting point is 00:22:06 what, two thousand, fifteen hundred, two thousand miles across the Atlantic Ocean to get to Europe, uneaten by sharks and other critters and still shackled and intact and landing on Mallorca. that makes nothing but sense to these people. So the logical misstep is just obvious right from the get-go. And then again, there's the idea that the government would be doing this. How come a Brego Garcia, whatever his name is, a Brego Garcia guy, how come they didn't do that with him? So this is. But it's also, it's the ego, the ego of I gotta be on TikTok, I gotta be broadcasting,

Starting point is 00:22:58 I gotta be showing everybody. Listen guys, it's crazy if this is true. It seems like it's true. Look, here's the map, here's the data, here's the proof. A guy that I know, his brother crazy if this is true. It seems like it's true. Look, here's the map. Here's the data. Here's the proof. A guy that I know, his brother, actually saw this happen. That's your favorite bit.

Starting point is 00:23:11 A guy I know whose brother's sister's daughter's friend. Witness this. Witness this. Saw this. They went through it. Could I just play your NPR report just for historical context so we have an actual report of what happened in Kerrville when we go back years from now and look at the archives? Yeah, this is from yesterday when the body count was 39, I think.

Starting point is 00:23:32 It's up to 59, I think, now today this morning. Yeah, you can play that. In central Texas, the death toll in the flash flooding Friday has risen to at least 32, including 14 children. Meanwhile, crews continue to search for more than two dozen children missing from a summer camp. And here's Sergio Martinez Beltran has more. I'm outside Camp Mystic in Kerrville, Texas,

Starting point is 00:23:57 which was severely hit by Friday's flash floods. Parts of it were washed away. And the area around this place is completely destroyed. It's pretty incredible. Huge trees are down, cars are stuck on them. There are also huge boulders in the middle of the road. All of this show how violent the waters of the Guadalupe River were.

Starting point is 00:24:20 And the search and rescue efforts are ongoing. Sergio Martinez Peltran, NPR News, Kerrville, Texas. Yeah, the one thing which I think happens everywhere, we are truly Americans and you just see everybody coming together. Everyone's doing everything they can to help and to do stuff. And I always love that. That is such an American trait because I've been through all kinds of things in Europe and in Europe they're like, well, where's the government? Where's the government? Here in America, we said the government did it. Wow, that's a good one.

Starting point is 00:24:55 Well, it's also- It's funny. Yeah, it's a good switcheroo. It's a sad state, but it's like your political affiliation doesn't matter your religious affiliation I mean all the churches got together everyone's you know collecting Clothing and money. No, we saw that in the North Carolina North ended in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Oh the same thing. Yeah, the big one had the earthquake. Oh, the same thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:22 The big one. Where the cars were smashed on the freeway because the double decker freeway collapsed on a bunch of cars and the people were stuck in their car and it was mostly white commuters going to the city and the black community which surrounds that area were up there saving everybody. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:25:46 saving everybody. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So. Oh yeah, well that's ruined the 4th of July I think in Texas. Oh, it's yeah, it really did. Really, really did. Now we had it meanwhile, we had a fogless 4th of July. Oh, well rare moment. Very rare. I watched two fireworks displays. The one on the 30th July in Richmond was superior. It's always as good. And then there was the Fourth of July at San Francisco, which was terrible as usual. They had parallel displays that had no finale worth of crap. It was just junk. A junk fireworks display was disappointing. Of course we had that explosion of the fireworks factory, but I don't think that affected these two displays.

Starting point is 00:26:29 These guys already had their stuff in place. And of course, Richmond was going nuts. There must've been more money spent there than any place in the world. I heard $2 billion in America in total in fireworks. And probably $2 billion in fire damage. Oakland had a number of fires or something like, I think there was 150 fire calls.

Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah. There are people that were either injured or burnt a house down. Yeah. So, but that's, you know, typical amateurs. Yeah. So, but that's, you know, typical amateurs. Yeah. And they, and they don't make, uh, the, the municipal displays aren't, aren't that good. So people doing them themselves. That's exactly right. That's exactly right.

Starting point is 00:27:16 Now on the, I do have a couple of fourth of July clips kind of. Yeah. Okay. We have a tick tock if you don't have to play the jingle. No, I won't. But we have a TikTok typical dipshit, Fourth of July, Scolder girl. If you support Donald Trump, I better not see you wearing red, white and blue, flying a flag. By the way, so I'll just say, I saw you post this on X and I responded to you.

Starting point is 00:27:44 You said, why does this happen? I'll just say, I saw you post this on X and I responded to you. You said, why does this happen? Why do people do this with the big, the big crazy googly eyes? And she's got nut ball eyes and the reverse implosion hands. Then my worst, that's something I started noticing the reverse implosion hands. Now what that is people can watch this. You know, you know what it is. Cause you saw this. You know what it is because you saw it. You hold your hand out in a palm forward, your fingers outstretched, and when you make points you draw the hand into a point. So you're constantly doing this kind of reverse explosion

Starting point is 00:28:21 thing that you would do with your hand if you put your hand, fingers together and then made an explosion motion with your hand. It's just the opposite. And they're constantly doing this. It's like, it's just a no, I find it extremely annoying. I think it's a cultural, it's actually cultural appropriation. I think it's a black girl kind of thing. Could be. Yeah. I believe that could be. Yeah. like sister-necking. You see a lot of white chicks do that. Yes. And so I saw you post this and I'm like, the reason why this happens is because people like you, John C. DeVore, keep propagating it by posting it. That's, you're the problem. I feel somewhat responsible. As you should.

Starting point is 00:29:01 And I, this brings, before I get back to this, brings me to some thoughts about shooting the messenger. I had, I had this clip of a guy giving a lecture on Iran, which I'd posted some time ago and I sent it to two people. One a famous Hollywood executive and another one, a famous, a famous Intel high-end military guy, who I know personally, both of them.

Starting point is 00:29:29 You know who they are. Yeah, of course. And I just don't want to mention their names, because they're both funny. But both people, one of them, the producer, I say, I know a bullshitter when I see one. I'm a bullshitter, a bullshitter takes, you guys a bullshitter.

Starting point is 00:29:47 And that was it. Nothing about the content, which I thought was interesting. The other, my other buddy says, he calls the guy out, he just, he was really rude about it. But again, nothing about the content. And then I realized that both of them shot the messenger because the messenger is no good. And oftentimes this is the key.

Starting point is 00:30:12 We always say, Oh, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just the messenger. No, you have to shoot the messenger. I've decided that's my new philosophy. I'm with you. I'm all about it. MSNBC is the messenger. It should be shot.

Starting point is 00:30:24 You must shoot the messenger. That's the point. I say the same for Fox You have to... MSNBC is the messenger. It should be shot. You must shoot the messenger. That's the point. I say the same for Fox. By the way, constitutional lawyer Rob says the motion is called bird hands. Bird hands? Yeah. I mean, he's a white lawyer in Texas. I don't know what he knows, but... I don't know. Well, I'll call it bird hands if you want. Sounds reasonable. Sounds reasonable. But these women do that when they're talking and they're constantly doing it. I don't know what he knows, but. I don't know. Well, I'll call it bird hands if you want. Sounds reasonable. Sounds reasonable.

Starting point is 00:30:46 But these women do that when they're talking and they're constantly doing it. I find it extremely... All this woman was missing was a nose ring. Did she say, mmkay? Did she say that? I can't remember she said, mmkay? I don't think she said, mmkay. All right. Well, let's listen to it. If you support Donald Trump, I better not see you wearing red, white and blue, flying a flag, eating apple pie, or even taking the day off work on the 4th of July. You can wear orange and eat Big Macs on Donald Trump's birthday, but the 4th of July Independence

Starting point is 00:31:15 Day? No, you cannot celebrate Independence Day while simultaneously supporting a man that is actively trying to dismantle our democracy and undermining the constitution at every turn. Because you do not love this country, you do not value this country. You love Donald Trump for some unknown reason, you've decided to put him above our country and the principles upon which it was founded. So save your bullshit, you are not a patriot, you're actively anti-American.

Starting point is 00:31:42 I don't wanna see you lighting fireworks, eating hot dogs, anything. That is not for you anymore because you, my friend, are not a patriot. You are not pro-America. You are pro-Donald Trump. And those two things are in direct contradiction. Those of us who actually give a shit about our country, we will celebrate while protesting the man that's trying to destroy it. The rest of you, sit your asses at home if you can't go into work and try to do some personal work because Lord knows that there's a lot of it

Starting point is 00:32:10 that needs to be done. You know, I've been thinking about this. There's a thing in our church, and I'm sure it's very similar in other churches, and maybe it's a little bit of a Baptist thing. We have a non-denominational church. But if the pastor or we had a guest speaker today, By the way, I would, I would, if I, I've seen your church's stuff, I would push you toward

Starting point is 00:32:38 Baptist. Well, our pastor was raised Southern Baptist, but we are purely non-denominational. But when, especially if there's a guest speaker and he's doing something, he's on a roll, like a rant, a roll, or as someone would say, I'm preaching now, then you'll hear the congregation say, good word, good word. That's what this is about. Because the comments are, good word, girlfriend, good word, good word. That's what this is about. Because the comments are good word, girlfriend, you go good word. Yeah, good. Yeah, very good. You said it. You told them, you showed them. It's a human thing.

Starting point is 00:33:16 It's a human thing. And so she's, she's up in her pulpit, the pulpit of Tik Tok and the comments are the church. Exactly right. And they're like, yeah, good word, girl. Good word. You go girl. Fantastic. You tell them, you get that orange. You get that orange man.

Starting point is 00:33:32 That's right. You tell them all those crazy followers. You go girl. Bird hand, bird hand. That's what it is. That's what it is. Well, I have another fed up clip from another TikTokker. And if you want to play that.

Starting point is 00:33:45 Yeah, okay. Then we'll get back to 4th of July. Well, that was about the 4th of July. I think this is too. No, both. Okay. Then I have the real 4th of July clips coming up. Okay. From the BBC no less. No, from Brooks and Capehart.

Starting point is 00:34:02 Oh, oh right. I'd read that as BBC. Oh, Brooks and Capehart. Oh, great'd read that as BBC. Oh, Brooks and Capehart. Oh, great. Okay. Fed up TikTok girl. I quit. I'm done. Okay. Click. All right. That's, that's okay. That was a great clip. Fantastic. Yeah. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I'm done. I'm done with America. I'm done with taxes. I'm, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm going to cash out like Monopoly and and and go and hide and move somewhere You're telling me that my tax dollars are going to build an Alcatraz

Starting point is 00:34:31 Auschwitz alligator Auschwitz I don't know what you want to call it a detention center a Concentration camp in Florida that our tax money is paying for. I'm done. I can't do it anymore. I can't feed the system that is doing everything that I stand against. I didn't vote for this. I didn't vote for any of this. I'm done playing the game.

Starting point is 00:34:55 I just I want a tree and a farm and land and somewhere else. I can't keep feeding into this system. Am I the only one? Because it's been what? Today's the second? It's been seven months that this man's been in office and I'm exhausted. And I can't, I can't do it anymore. I'm cashing out monopoly.

Starting point is 00:35:14 Am I the only, come with me, let's go. We're moving. Okay. I suggest Europe enjoy that trip or maybe even the UK. You might be able to get a tree there. Um, I like Alligator Auschwitz. That's kind of a good one. That was created by somebody on MSNBC. Oh, okay. This is not her creation, I can assure you.

Starting point is 00:35:36 Okay. Why isn't it called Alligatraz? Well, I think for some reason they like the alliteration of alligator Alcatraz and it's just got a nice sound to it. There's this thing about, and it's ultimately, it's all very anti-American. One of our family members, Tina, was talking to her and I warned her, I said, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. And you know, cause we may be, we may take a trip to Israel next year to go see the Holy land.

Starting point is 00:36:10 Oh my God. Oh my God. Been there, been there, done that. Well, I haven't, and I have friends in Tel Aviv and you know, I want to, I want to see some stuff. And of course. I'll give you a rundown of some of it. The women in Tel Aviv are unbelievably beautiful.

Starting point is 00:36:26 Okay. All right. Tel Aviv, we're going to do an extra day in Tel Aviv. John C. Dvorak commands it. And Hummus in the little village of Jaffa. Best ever. So what comes back is, do you really feel comfortable supporting the economy of Israel? I thought about it. That's it. You're gonna go there and you And Tina by taking a trip to Israel are going to be if it wasn't for you two that collapse And I'm thinking how can you say this while you're on your iPhone? compiled of minerals, scraped by little black children in the DRC with their bare hands and assembled in China who killed

Starting point is 00:37:14 tens of thousands of Uighurs and suppressed their people with social credit scores? Did you say that to that person? No, I wasn't on the phone. You wish. Did you say that to that person? No, I wasn't on the phone. After Tina hung up, I said, this is the line. And it's just like, you know, it's like, what happened to Ukraine? We don't care about Ukraine anymore. It's only a million people. Who cares how many people died there?

Starting point is 00:37:40 Doesn't matter. It's an empathy issue that we have. It's an empathy issue. This is funny. This is leading beautifully into the Brooks and Cape Park. All right. Go for it. Let's go for it. Let's go for it. Okay. Well, here we have them moaning and groaning about, you know, they're agreeing about one thing or another, but it's all bad. Trump's bad. And the 4th of July, everything is bad. And they're particularly concerned about everything is bad and they're particularly concerned about the Alcatraz and the rest of it. But they get into this little, this very interesting discussion where Brooks decides that the way to

Starting point is 00:38:18 get to beat the Republicans, even though he's supposed to represent the Republicans, but he said the Democrats can beat the Republicans by taking all this information and shaming them because it's a known fact that the Republicans have betrayed their voters. Now, I don't know where this comes from, but this comes from right-wing media should be killed. Well, no, this, no. Oh, I'm sorry, left-wing media. No, I disagree. This is Tucker. This is Candace, this is the America First movement.

Starting point is 00:38:49 Okay. Well, it's coming from somewhere, but the idea is that the Republicans have betrayed. Now, I don't see it personally. I don't see that they've done anything to betray the voters and, you know, they're doing what they promised and it's just the way they do it. But so we, so we, this, so I just found this to be very screwy. Listen, this is clip one. Yeah, I think the one thing I would say if I were a Democrat is Donald Trump won election on the back of the working class.

Starting point is 00:39:22 He has betrayed you. You have been betrayed by this guy. Americans are in a mood where many of them feel betrayed. And so Republicans have won because they tell a betrayal story, the elites are betraying you. But Democrats now have a betrayal story to tell. This is exactly, he's like, I'll give him this. He is smart, he is latching on to an undercurrent, a movement, and the betrayal came with the bombing of

Starting point is 00:39:48 Iran, because that meant that the Uniparty is still in charge, the military industrial complex is still in charge. Trump is no better or worse than George W. Bush. You need to watch Tucker with Scott Horton, because literally at the end, man, I have to clip that. Scott Horton is saying, and Tucker, Tucker's like, oh yeah, I could not agree more. I could not agree more. Yeah, I think you're right.

Starting point is 00:40:20 We should just withdraw from everywhere. And why can't we just be a peaceful country and just not have any military and everybody can just live in their fine, nice little world and it'll be multipolar and it'll be great. And I couldn't agree with you more. Yeah, go to www.AntiWar.com. That's right. Like, yes, utopia, I'd love it, not even in the slightest realistic. No, not at all. Because the Chinese are different. But back to Brooks and Capehart, wherever this comes from, somebody lecturing somebody

Starting point is 00:41:02 about the elites, the elites taking over, the elites. He's the elite, this guy. You think? Well, listen to Clip 2. How does this square with what President Trump is doing on immigration and mass deportations? It's the opposite. We've been a country of immigrants since we were before our country. And Americans still love pluralism and diversity. I was celebrating Independence Day and the birth of our country yesterday in Milan. On my way to Doha, I stopped in Milan to celebrate the birth of our country.

Starting point is 00:41:37 I'm surprised you didn't say Milano. Milano. I was in Milan during the fight because the elites had been ruining the US, but Milan is where I would go. Hold on a second. That's not even borderline. That is clip of the day, man. That was good. Clip of the day. That's a good one. That's the height, man. That was good. That's a good one.

Starting point is 00:42:05 That's the height of it. He also says that America is a land of immigrants. Yeah, legal immigrants. So, let's always use the word legal, but he doesn't do that. And, you know, diversity bullcrap. So, the guy is full of it. But to make the Milan thing even worse, he adds a little more to it, and now you're gonna really roll your eyes. Independence Day and the birth of our country, yesterday in Milan, but at a Bruce Springsteen concert. Wow, wow, I love the level.

Starting point is 00:42:49 Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, Springsteen concert yesterday in Milan, but at a Bruce Springsteen concert. And he talked about exactly that, about the diversity of the country, the land he loves. He was so patriotic. And it's not and I felt very moved and tears coming to my eyes. But so did the Italians. I mean, talk about out there, and a group of them laughing about, oh yes, I like to go out of the... And Capehart goes on with some story about going to Holland for something. These guys are just the worst. What did he go to Holland for?

Starting point is 00:43:23 No, it wasn't contemporary, so he talked about a previous trip to Holland where he gave a speech. I mean, the whole thing is sickening to listen to these guys. This is PBS and you have it in their little clip. The Voices of the Elite. Yeah, hold on a second, where is it? Elitist voices of America. This is NPR or PBS Spot on. Just to bring that home I do have the PBS because I play the NPR self promotion because they're worried about their money Here's I have the PBS house promotion just that here's their take on the same thing they also access computer systems no data sorry sorry my mistake there was the one right

Starting point is 00:44:11 under it here we go there's nothing more American than PBS it's a safe place where kids learn and grow and where grown-ups are informed, entertained, and inspired. PBS is one of America's greatest resources for 50 years strong, and PBS needs your help to keep going for another 50. We will have done a great service. For our future. Visit Protect My Public Media to learn more, because there's nothing more American than PBS.

Starting point is 00:44:43 You know, that's- Nothing more elitist. Now, if you listen to this thing at the very beginning, you say kids and grownups. Who uses the word grownups except kids? I mean, what kind of media? Oh yeah, hey, what are the grownups doing? It's not the adults.

Starting point is 00:44:59 You use the word adults, not grownups. To be fair, if we had 1% of our money taken away by the government for some, through some strange taxation on podcasters, whatever it is, we'd be doing this too. Value for value. We support us, support the show. Please. And I'd have all kinds of jets flying and star spangled banner and fireworks going on. Merica, baby. Freedom of speech. Yeah, you bet.

Starting point is 00:45:29 So, I got to give a math. I'm not going to argue against the fact that yes, the word is defensive, but the use of the word grownups for adult has really got my goat there for some reason. I don't know why that galls me. It's like, what are you talking to us like this for? Is this the same station that brings you Antique Roadshow? Yeah, as a matter of fact. Just checking. Just checking. Well, Antique Roadshow, you learn a lot. I like the ones where they do their repeats and they'll show in today's dollars.

Starting point is 00:46:07 Those are great. They show the up-to-date numbers. Which shows you inflation of the money supply basically. Or that some things just don't get any more valuable. Yeah, that's true. So along these lines, and we've kind of been watching this and have discussed it a little bit, but now, so Elon Musk announces America party. And you know, we've kind of been watching this and have discussed it a little bit. But now, so Elon Musk announces America Party.

Starting point is 00:46:28 I have the BBC clip of the announcement that I think they did the best job. OK, let me see. Probably under Musk. Musk. OK. And then I have a clip I want to play. The tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political party in the United States. Writing on X, he said the America Party would challenge what he called a one-party system that wasted public money and undermined democracy. Exactly. So I have the Yamiche version of this. This is Yamiche on NBC. And...

Starting point is 00:47:06 Hey, by the way, good news, I understand. Yamiche who's been carted off of PBS, I think the Lopez girl has been... Oh, kicked her out? No, I think they kicked her out, or I don't think they kicked her out because I think they liked her. I think she's taking a gig with the, with the spin-off of MSNBC or something like that. Spinco. Spinco, right, Spinco.

Starting point is 00:47:33 Okay. So we've been trying to figure this out. Is this, you know, is this a Trump gambit with Elon? Is this the foil and is this wrestling? And I think after this report, and you'll hear the things that Elon has been posting or tweeting, to me, this America party is entirely designed around the midterms to get as many Democrats to move away from the Democrat Party to move to something else, mainly because of the woke-ism of the left of the Democrat Party. There's a lot of

Starting point is 00:48:12 Americans who are sick of that. Without hearing the clip, I'm already agreeing with your analysis. Listen to the words. Tonight on the heels of President Trump signing his massive domestic policy bill into law, his former close ally, Elon Musk, announcing the formation of a new political party. Musk, the world's richest person, taking to his social media site, acts to say, we live in a one party system, not a democracy today. Okay, right there. Why would Musk say not a democracy?

Starting point is 00:48:47 This is Democrat talking points. The Republicans always fight against this word. We say, no, we live in a Republic. You don't say our democracy unless you are targeting it at Democrats. New political party. Musk, the world's richest person, taking to his social media site X to say, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. Musk, who is President Trump's top campaign donor, has been feuding with the president over the so-called One Big Beautiful bill, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget

Starting point is 00:49:23 Office says will add more than $3 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. Musk has referred to the legislation as a debt slavery bill. Right there. Whenever you bring in slavery, it's never to speak to Republicans, ever, ever, ever, ever. Either he has the worst advisors, is the dumbest guy in the world, which I don't think he is, or this is directed towards Democrats. Democracy, slavery, this is all code.

Starting point is 00:49:54 Over the next 10 years, Musk has referred to the legislation as a debt slavery bill and had been teasing a new political party for days. The Tesla CEO did not respond to questions from NBC News seeking clarity about today's announcement. The stock market's at an all-time high. For his part, President Trump has been celebrating the bill. The legislation extends the tax cuts from his first term, reduces taxes on tips and overtime pay, and provides funds for his immigration priorities. All right, then it goes on and on about Trump. To me, the easiest prey in the two party system, uniparty, call it whatever you want, is the, the, oh, and basically Trump at this moment, except for abortion and a couple

Starting point is 00:50:40 of other things is like a very old school Democrat. You would know you You were one. Yeah, of course. And so, you know, no Republican- That's why it appeals to the working class. Yes. No Republican candidate is going to switch from the Republican party to- I'm not going to say I know that for sure, but it seems highly unlikely. I think you're close to knowing it for sure.

Starting point is 00:51:06 Highly unlikely. I mean, the Republican, both parties have so much money and power and clout, which of course I'm not for. I love the idea of a third party, but this to me just smells of a setup to dilute the Democrat party more. No Republican's going to go, oh yeah, screw you Trump. I'm going to sit over here. You know, what's going to happen. That's not going to, that's not going to help you win any seats.

Starting point is 00:51:35 And, you know, it's like, it just feels, it may not even come to fruition. And, you know, all Trump is president Trump has said about Elon is, well, you know, his EV credits and that's a losing business. And Elon Musk knows it. His future is in XAI, which owns X and there's a lot of good artificial intelligence stuff in the big, beautiful bill, a lot of protectionism. There's tons of payment options that he'll be able to take advantage of, and of course, SpaceX.

Starting point is 00:52:10 I didn't hear President Trump say, well, we're going to take away his SpaceX contracts. No, I don't think so. So it just feels to me like this is still some kind of a massive setup. Your views Mr. Dvorak. Oh crap I'm sorry. Course. Sorry about that. Your views Mr. Dvorak.

Starting point is 00:52:39 You're back. Yes well I wasn't saying anything. Oh you're supposed to say, Man you missed my great rant. I could have because you have done that in the past. Yes. But just to stay honest, no, I just don't think this is going to, it may not work. I think it's a nice try.

Starting point is 00:53:00 It's a good idea. And there's going to be a lot of waver know, wavering Democrats that can be, you know, I mean, we've seen every time a third party comes along, generally speaking with Ralph Nader, with Perot, it tends to hurt the Democrats more than the Republicans. I think it'll get a lot of libertarians, a lot of Scott Horton's and Dave Smith's. I think they'll all move over there. They probably voted for, didn't, maybe didn't vote or who knows what they voted. But I think that the libertarians have been just floating around for so long.

Starting point is 00:53:34 The libertarians are hopeless. Please don't, don't. I'm going to say it. I used to, I call myself a libertarian for, I went through the phases of it being, you know, Democrat forever. And then I was a Republican from Reagan up for a while. And then, and then I got, I think Bush could made me nauseous and younger because he changed his personality. He was a funny guy when he's a governor. And then he became a super douche.

Starting point is 00:54:01 Then he became douchey and kind of in with it. Something they was on, they drugged him or something. And then I called myself, because nobody becomes a libertarian. They call themselves libertarian. And then when you start looking at libertarians that actually take it very seriously, like the guy who ran, his name I forgot already, the Congress guy who was a stoner, it was just really about pot and, you know, oh yeah, do your pot and do your... name I forgot already the congress guy he was a stoner it was just it's really about pot and you know yeah do your own thing Gary what's his name Gary yeah

Starting point is 00:54:32 Gary something pot do your own thing no war man peace baby government should be smaller yeah okay and it's just bull crap and it's and it turns out to be a mishmash of ideas. They all disagree with each other They can't get it together. They're stoned And so it's like a useless party So then I became an independent then I found out that that's actually a kind of a party in California So then non-affiliated and that's where I remain Gary Johnson Gary Johnson who is stoned?

Starting point is 00:55:12 Well, so was Bill de Blasio. True. Speaking of let's take a quick little trip to New York with the Mondani derangement system syndrome or as some have asked me to call it Mondani mania, which I think is also a good one. Here's the- You can turn to the two middle letters to reverse them as madman. Yeah, there you go. In the day since it became clear that Zoran Mondani would be the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City, the response from Republicans has been about as unhinged as

Starting point is 00:55:44 you might expect. Donald Trump is practically frothing at the mouth threatening to arrest Tom Donahue, who of course has not broken any laws. There's talk on the right that they're gonna like denaturalize him and deport him. At least one Republican congressman has called for the 33 year old state assemblyman,

Starting point is 00:55:59 a naturalized US citizen to be deported. And it hasn't just been that, even some established Democrats have refused to back their party's choice or said really vile things about him despite the overwhelming enthusiasm for his candidacy here in New York. But if there's one thing Mamdani's demonstrated over the course of this campaign so far,

Starting point is 00:56:16 is he's pretty good at just kind of sticking to his principles and message discipline. He doesn't bow down to the face of pressure, but then he keeps pivoting back to the center of what he campaigned on, which is affordability. So here's how it went. Hey, Mayor Adams, it's Donald. I got an idea.

Starting point is 00:56:37 Try this. Mayor Adams is now questioning his opponent, Zoran Mamdani's 2009 application to Columbia University. The mayor's camp accuses the Democrat of wrongly identifying himself as African American to try to gain acceptance to the Ivy League school. A hacker got hold of the application and gave it to the New York Times. A hacker. A hacker.

Starting point is 00:57:00 A hacker. A hacker. A hacker. A hacker. A hacker. A hacker. A just love the blanket. A hacker. Who did it? A hacker, obviously. He's a hacker. Today, Adams called that dishonest and possibly fraudulent. We will never be a socialist country or socialist city.

Starting point is 00:57:15 This is a city where we will provide for each other and what we stand for. Candidate Andrew Cuomo's campaign is also blasting Mamdani saying if true, it could be fraud and just the tip of the iceberg. Mamdani, who is a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent, tells The Times he checked both boxes because he was born in Uganda and the application would not allow for the complexities of his background.

Starting point is 00:57:42 Oh yes. He's born in, if you're born in Africa. You're an African. You're an African. It's not very complex. I don't think. And they made a big fuss about this on Fox too, but they ended up backing off a little bit.

Starting point is 00:57:56 Oh, really? I don't know if I have a clip of it or not, but we don't. Lame. Lame. Yeah, it's like they tried to make hay with it. It's like, but it's the same, you know what this is, this is, I parallel this of course with Trump. Yeah, it's the same people who are helping him. It's the same people.

Starting point is 00:58:14 This is the same, this is the same scandal, quote unquote scandal as Trump University and Trump's stakes. Yes, and Trump's sneakers. Oh, I never got my degree from Trump University I got ripped off. Unlike a PhD in media deconstruction from your No Agenda show a true value It is a true value and it's something you can be proud of and it looks good on the wall Yes, by the way, my daughter graduates on Tuesday. She got her diploma from No Agenda? No, she got it. She got a diploma from No Agenda? No, she got

Starting point is 00:58:45 a real honest-to-God diploma and she's a social worker. I told you that, told you she's a social worker. Christina? Yes. Oh yeah. She graduated from what? School? Yeah, she went back to school. No, but what school? Oh, it's a, it's an MBO. It's like the lower- You don't know the name of the school that your daughter graduated from? This is how much you care. It's a different system. Okay.

Starting point is 00:59:14 It's not, it's not, okay. Okay. You caught me. Okay. All right. Hold on. I'm doing bird. I'm doing bird hands.

Starting point is 00:59:23 Okay. Yeah. Hold on. I'm doing bird. I'm doing bird hands. Okay. Yeah, she works in a home for middle-aged men. I think it's about 18 of them. Middle-aged men. She's always thinking of dad. Yes. Well, it gets better. Middle-aged men who have light mental or drug abuse issues. There you go. And she loves it. She says, dad, this is the best. It's just like helping my friends only I get paid for it. Oh, that's cute. Yeah, she took me to work one day. Didn't I talk about this on the show?

Starting point is 00:59:54 No, you did not. She took me to take dad to work day. I wouldn't be careful. You hit on the back of the head, next thing you know you're in there. No, one guy said, oh dad, you got to meet, I forget what his name is. You got Nick. I think my Nick, you got to meet Nick. You'll love Nick.

Starting point is 01:00:12 Nick goes to be, Hey, hey, hey, I really love the No Agenda show. Yeah. How about, oh yeah, I know about 9-11. Oh yeah. I know about all. She is a total conspiracy theorist. It was awesome. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 01:00:24 No, so she, she decided to get a, get a, you know, healthcare in Europe is the gig. That's the gig right there. Yes, it is. Yes, they definitely support that business. Mainly because no one wants to do the job anymore. So she's got the pick, man. She can do whatever she wants. And she still does her Instagram influencer gigs on the side. It's amazing. Finally, finally, my kid's got a career. Anyway, I don't even know how I came up with that. I don't either. Oh, there's a university. Yeah, but you know when I see her, I'll also give her a PhD in media deconstruction. She deserves it.

Starting point is 01:00:58 No. Okay. You have to, she has to put up. Oh no, she'll pony up. Okay. Well, yeah Yeah, she'll pony up. We don't we're this not a complimentary thing There's no honorary degrees that no agenda forget about it Can't just do some phony baloney commencement speech and expect to get a sash and a piece of paper You got to support us All right, Black Sabbath last. Come on, man. Let's play that.

Starting point is 01:01:27 Oh, you know, this is a very funny. I have a, there's only one good story about, well, play this clip. It's Black Sabbath's finishing up. Yes, they did their final concert. A farewell gig for the legendary British heavy metal band, Black Sabbath has been taking place in their home city of Birmingham. Frontman Ozzy Osbourne performed solo material on a black throne decorated with skulls before the band's original lined up line up joined him to headline what will be their final show.

Starting point is 01:01:58 Well not the entire original lineup. Not dead. Not the dead guys. So my favorite Ozzy Osbourne story, and I don't remember if it was he that told the story or if it was one of the crew guys, but he had a, in one of his concerts, he decided to have a catapult kind of behind. Yeah. kind of behind the catapult, kind of behind the band. And it was held down by these, I guess, rubber bands, pull downs. And it was going to be, I guess a rubber band is going to pull

Starting point is 01:02:39 the thing forward. And the catapult had a pocket that was filled with chicken guts and the idea was that they were going to release at some point in the song they were going to release they're going to cut it loose and the catapult is going to fly forward and throw chicken guts all over the audience. But what happened was Ozzy ended up, they had a guitar solo or something that ran on way too long and the rubber bands got kind of stretched and loose. They didn't have enough oomph to make the thing fly. So according to the story, the catapult flies up and kind of just drops all the chicken guts on Ozzy. That's a good one. It seems like a believable story.

Starting point is 01:03:32 Maybe I should tell, I've told it before, maybe I should tell my Ozzy story since people are always complaining I don't talk about my old MTV stories. Nobody's complaining. No, I got an email the other day saying, hey, you need to talk more about- You tell some stories here, you know? Your story is the only thing we listed on the show waiting for some stories from you. Tina's great. Hey, Adam, tell the Prince story.

Starting point is 01:03:52 Yeah, tell the Madonna story. Yeah, tell the Ozzy story. So I'll tell the Ozzy story. People have heard it, but I'll tell it again. Moscow Music Peace Festival. You know the big CIA op? We all went to Moscow and to get the kids to love the scorpions just before the wall came down.

Starting point is 01:04:09 I'll just cut straight to the chase because I didn't know that at the time, but it makes a lot of sense now. So we leave from Newark Airport and it's a crappy, I think it was a stretch 727. You remember those? Was it 727 or 737, the stretch? No, no, it was just 27. 727 stretch, which looks like they could snap in half at any moment.

Starting point is 01:04:32 They were funny looking. Yeah, and so that's what they chartered, Doc McGee. Oh yeah, I should mention the whole reason for the concert is because Doc McGee, who managed Bon Jovi and Motley Crue at the time, his Learjet had gotten busted in Florida Bringing like some unbelievable amount of marijuana into the country and and so they got to him and they said hey instead of what's that? In your mouth on this picture. They said look Why don't you organize a concert for us in in Moscow and bring all your bands over there? And then we'll sign up the children by the way The kids in Moscow. This is 88. I think 88 89

Starting point is 01:05:10 Had no idea who Bon Jovi or Motley Crue were they had no idea who skid row was they didn't care You know who they knew Ozzy They knew Ozzy Osborne and they had all all these bootleg cassettes that came in from Pakistan and they knew Ozzy. So we're on the plane. It's a crappy plane. No one's in first class, so everyone's annoyed and everyone's on edge. Of course, this was supposed to be a...

Starting point is 01:05:39 Hold on. The part of the story that I didn't know before, I don't think you told that part before. Would this stemmed from the guy getting busted and the CIA coming along because they wanted to do this, they needed to do something in Moscow and they needed a front? Yeah. No, well, the whole thing- Makes sense to me. It's a great idea. It's a great move. The whole thing was to get the, remember the Scorpions were there, the Scorpions were a German band and they had the Wind of Change, which is the only hit they ever had that they didn't write themselves, coincidence. And that was the wind of change. And that was the big anthem when the wall came down,

Starting point is 01:06:20 not but a year, year and a half later. Um, so I'm, I'm, there's all kinds of theories. So there's an op involved. There's, there's a definite op involved, but I'm the only person from MTV who goes along and like, this is dynamite. So, How come you were the only one? Because wouldn't anybody, wouldn't somebody else want to go? Uh, I think they only offered it to one person and I did headbangers ball, so I was appropriate.

Starting point is 01:06:46 I was the guy. And I had the hair and everything and I don't know. I'm happy that they told me to go. I'm sure the, you know what, I'm sure that downtown Julie Brown was not having it. She's like, no, I'm not going to go to Moscow, to Russia. Of course, this was still Iron Curtain stuff. So anyway, we're on the plane and this whole concert, this whole affair is billed as a

Starting point is 01:07:15 anti drugs, anti alcohol concert. That was the front. Like, we're doing this because we're going to show we can have good clean fun to the Russian kids. And we're on the show we can have good clean fun to the Russian kids. They were on the plane, everybody's hammered, they're drunk as skunks, all of them. Ozzy was there, Gieser Butler was there, Tommy Oh, I mean, there was a lot of Black Sabbath was there. Whatever was still alive were barely alive. And Sharon, who at the time, this is way before the Osborne's reality show,

Starting point is 01:07:50 this is way before Ozempic, and Sharon was a big, roly-poly British housewife. Now, she was tipping the scales. And she's like, oh Ozzy, oh Ozzy, Ozzy. Very timid, didn't have the big mouth that she has now. And so at a certain point Ozzy gets up and he has to go to the bathroom. He's like, and so there's a lavatory.

Starting point is 01:08:18 You got his voice down. There's a lavatory mid section of the plane and it's occupied. Because we're kind of in the second, the back half of the plane. And so Ozzy standing there, Sharon, Sharon, Sharon. And she's like, oh Ozzy, just wait Sharon. And what does Ozzy do? He pees his pants right there in the aisle. Probably the saddest thing I've ever seen in rock and roll ever.

Starting point is 01:08:50 That is pretty pathetic. And that's my Ozzie story. That's uplifting. What about your stories? Well, it beats the floods of Texas. Well, anything does that. Anyway. It's the floods of Texas. Well, anything does that. Anyway, yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:07 And then it was just to complete the story, it was Greg, I'm trying to remember his name. Greg was a production assistant at MTV and he was out in Los Angeles and he had a crew and he had done something for MTV, they were doing some interview and he had the crew for another I think another two days or something and he just and he knew The Osbournes and so he said, you know Why don't I just follow you guys around for a day and then I'll cut it up and we'll make it into come some kind of show and That literally was how the reality show of the Osbournes was created by a production assistant who just said, I got some extra tape, let's just roll it. And they cut it together and it was so outrageous and hilarious that MTV picked it up and turned

Starting point is 01:09:51 it into the Osbournes show. Well, that's an interesting story. Yeah. It shows you that anybody can make it if you just keep trying. I saw Greg's name on the credits of like some big award show. I mean, that kid went on, man. He went on to do some stuff. Obviously he has some sort of talent.

Starting point is 01:10:09 So I'm going to play a couple clips with our, cause we left him out, hasn't been, he's been left on the cutting room floor. Our buddy, Scott Simon. Suffer and succotash. I'm Scott. Woo! Simon. Finally, he's back. All right.

Starting point is 01:10:27 So now he's talking about the big, beautiful bill, but before we play the four clips, they're short. I want to play it even shorter. He introduces, I've noticed NPR has, they got that Aisha girl, talks, she talks funny. And then we had that Mexican kid that from touch ass who gave us a report on the, of the, uh, curvil thing. And then, and then there's this woman, I don't, not going to play her, but I just want to play his introduction to her.

Starting point is 01:11:00 This is Scott Simon introducing reporter, Buffy gorilla visits where it started and where it's going Her name is Buffy Gorilla. Yes. They have a person now at no NPR named Buffy Gorilla. No No, I'm telling you that was not a creation that is Buffy Gorilla You'll find her I'm telling you that's a title. Buffy Gorilla is a show title. It's a good name, boo. I mean, if you want a name, it's almost, it's not even a stripper's name.

Starting point is 01:11:31 Hey, here she is, Buffy Gorilla. No, no, I don't know what kind of a stage name it is. It's great. Buffy Gorilla! It's a Buffy Gorilla. Let's play that again. Hold on a second. We'll do the combo.

Starting point is 01:11:43 Suffer and succotash. I'm Scott Simon. Reporter Buffy Gorilla visits where it started and where it's going. Buffy Gorilla. I don't know. So here we go. Scott Simon on the BBB. President Trump has called the deadly flooding in central Texas shocking

Starting point is 01:12:08 and says his administration is working with Governor Abbott over federal aid. He made those comments yesterday after he signed his massive policy bill, the so-called Big Beautiful bill, at a July 4th White House celebration. Oh, I like the intonation, Big Beautiful bill. That's different. Well, the thing that made me stop it there is the use of the term so-called. Oh yes, yes, yes. This is the reason NPR and PBS should not be getting government money. That is a propagandistic word in this sense. If you look it up, it's actually available. Cambridge and Merriam-Webster both have definitions of it.

Starting point is 01:12:46 And it implies bullshit. You think? It's also a good word for Scott Simon, the so-called big beautiful Bill. So it's called the Big Beautiful bill. It's not so called. So this is a propagandistic term. So we know, OK, right away, this is going to be a very slanted report

Starting point is 01:13:16 from the new member of the Radio Hall of Fame, Scott Simon. Here's part two. Promises made, promises kept, and we've kept them. This is a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy. And I have to say that the people are happy. It's a package that will cut taxes, add more funding for border security, and also make cuts to major programs like Medicaid. NPR White House correspondent Danielle Kurtz-Leban joins us.

Starting point is 01:13:43 Danielle, thanks so much for being with us. Yeah, good morning, Scott. And please tell us about yesterday's... Wait, did she say in the morning Scott? I heard it. She said in the morning Scott. Listen. No she didn't. Danielle Kurtz-Leban joins us. Danielle, thanks so much for being with us. Yeah, good morning Scott. She's saying in the morning Scott. I'm telling you. We've got a shill on the inside, John. Yeah, wish. Danielle Kurtz-Leban joins us. Danielle, Kirtzli, you've been joining us. Danielle, thanks so much for being with us. Yeah, good morning, Scott.

Starting point is 01:14:08 And please tell us about yesterday's ceremony. Well, the event was outside the White House at a picnic for military families, including those who participated in Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran. At that event, B-2s flew overhead. Now, those are the planes that carried those massive bombs targeting those underground nuclear facilities in Iran. Trump came out on a balcony with First Lady Melania Trump, and he thanked the military members, but he quickly transitioned to celebrating his new policy bill.

Starting point is 01:14:34 And then he came down from the balcony to sign it, surrounded by Republican Congress members. John McDonough, The Washington Post, The Washington Post, and The Washington Post Fourth of July, I have been to be sure, but also a celebration of the administration? Melania Trump, The Washington Post, of the administration? Oh, very much. That was also the case, by the way, in Iowa on Thursday night too. I was there, it was in Des Moines, and it was meant to be a celebration for America, but really it looked like any Trump campaign rally, which is to say it was deeply partisan.

Starting point is 01:14:58 Oh, yeah. Okay. Of course. Of course it's partisan. That's what you do. That's what every president does. It's a Trump rally. What are you expecting?

Starting point is 01:15:07 It's a rally. By the way, that B-2 with the two jets on either side, that looked badass. That slow flyover. Yeah. Oh, that flyover was amazing. That looked really cool. I agree. It's a good looking plane.

Starting point is 01:15:23 Yeah. In the air. cool. I agree it's a good-looking plane. Yeah. The B-21 which is the new plane is the B-21 is pretty nasty looking too. Yeah in the air when it's on the ground it looks flimsy. Oh it looks terrible. It's like doofus. It has little wheels out rumbling along. Oh it's no good then. Yeah it looks like a toy. Okay part three. And there, he said he had a couple of weeks of winning that have just passed. After all, Congress passed that new major domestic policy agenda, albeit narrowly, and he had that major strike on Iran and then a ceasefire that is holding at the moment. And then there are also numbers showing that border crossings are way down.

Starting point is 01:16:02 And he celebrated that on his trip to Florida this week to a new migrant detainment camp, which the administration is calling Alligator Alcatraz. The administration points all of this and says that amounts to a lot of winning. Is there more to consider? Well, absolutely. For example, on Iran, it's still unclear how much of Iran's nuclear capabilities were truly destroyed, and it's unclear if or when they would start rebuilding their program. On that so-called big beautiful bill that could push nearly 12 million people off Medicaid according to

Starting point is 01:16:32 the Congressional Budget Office or CDO which has also found that the bill would benefit the wealthy most. Oh yes this is so this is lies. It's just lies. They have not said it will push people off. Did it say that? Did it say it'll push people off Medicaid? No, it didn't. They also didn't say, oh, it's only got the, the nonpartisan CBO who do make mistakes, but they're nonpartisan. I doubt they said, oh, it's just going to benefit rich people.

Starting point is 01:17:05 I don't think that's in their report. No, it's not. But okay. On that so-called big beautiful bill. So-called. That could push nearly 12 million people off Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office or CBO, which has also found that the bill would benefit the wealthy most. Now, Democrats were very worried about that, as were some Republicans, and some Republicans

Starting point is 01:17:26 were also upset about how much the bill would add to the debt. According to the CBO, it would add $3.3 trillion. That is a lot. Over 10 years. And then there's the fact that it's just not that popular according to multiple polls. Now Trump, for his part, simply dismisses that polling. Here he was talking yesterday We just have to look forward fellas look forward and just say what it is because it's the most popular bill ever signed in the history of our country

Starting point is 01:18:01 Although there is one thing I can fucking just interrupt with something from the big, the so-called big beautiful bill by the rains coming down again here. This is from producer Andrew. I missed this one. The bill reduces the $200 national firearms act tax to $0 for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and quote any other weapons. This reduction to zero tax allows lawsuits to be filed, challenging the validity of still having to register these items under the NFA, possibly nullifying the National Firearms Act altogether or at least the portion governing these items.

Starting point is 01:18:48 That is interesting. Yes, I heard about this too. An extreme rare win for Second Amendment. Yeah, very rare. It's unusual. Yeah, I thought that was, and I missed that one, so I appreciate producer Andrew for catching that. Wow, you hear that?

Starting point is 01:19:05 It's like, it's coming to here. Listen, I'll turn off the noise gate for a second. Listen to this. That's the rain. Yeah, it's not loud enough. Oh, well it's the rain in the studio. All right. You have a tin roof, I think.

Starting point is 01:19:20 Yes, I do. Yeah, it's a tin roof. I got a cat on a hot tin roof over here. Yeah, a tin roof. It's made of tin. They were saying, well, how about Adam? How'd he do in the store? I said, Adam's at altitude. Nothing happens to Adam's place. It's not going to flood. I can't believe Mimi didn't text me. Oh my gosh! Oh, she talked to me about it and I said, don't bother him.

Starting point is 01:19:42 She thinks you're going to be dropping. She thinks you're gonna be dropping, she thinks well she's worried but she like, like she cares, she wants to make sure the show continues so that she can pay bills. That's basically it. It's very interesting how people from all over the world reached out, are you okay? Of course there's always the five people who said, admit it, Curry, you, you kicked over the rain stick, didn't you? Yeah. That's really funny in the time of tragedy. Interestingly, about three different people never reached out, didn't even know it. And that's because they're not on social media. They didn't even know what happened, which is the way it used to be.

Starting point is 01:20:26 And it's the way it probably should be. It's not your business if you're not around the area, it seems to me. Oh, thoughts and prayers. Okay, fourth, fourth and final clip of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill report. Danielle, you mentioned the Florida Detention Center. What challenges are there for President Trump and immigration right now? Well, as you know, immigration has been maybe the central issue for Trump since day one. And so people who vote for him vote for tighter immigration policy. But in practice, this administration's approach to immigration enforcement, it has faced a lot of opposition

Starting point is 01:21:00 around the country, for example, in the form of protests. And also some businesses are just concerned he'll deport their workers. And it's uncertain whether or to what degree that will happen. Trump has in fact waffled, for example, on whether he will ease up on raids on places like farms, which rely on a lot of immigrants. And what about tariffs? Well, he said he plans to make a lot of tariff moves in this next week. But first, let me remind you of where we are. In early April, Trump announced tariffs on most countries.

Starting point is 01:21:29 Then he backed off and set those tariffs at 10 percent temporarily. He said that on July 9th, the rates would jump back up, but then before then, he would negotiate rates country by country. Well, July 9th is coming and he's negotiated rates with two countries, the UK and Vietnam. So now he says he'll send out letters simply notifying countries of their tariff rates. So soon, we're going to find out how much American businesses and likely consumers will be paying for imports. Oh, that'll be fun Tuesday on DH Unplugged.

Starting point is 01:21:56 I can't wait. I can't wait. But it depends on whether the market goes up or down. Well, the market doesn't like tariffs, I thought. The market doesn't like uncertainty in general. The market is... Booming, baby, it's booming. The market is booming, but the market is quasi-predictive

Starting point is 01:22:18 because it's seen as, oh, so it's always looking ahead and it's taken into account, already taken into account. So there's already taken. No, it's priced in is what you're supposed to say. Priced in, same thing. It's priced in. And so if the market goes up when the announcement happens, it's been, oh, it's already been priced in, taken into account.

Starting point is 01:22:37 If the market goes down, the same news, same situation, nothing's changed, absolutely the same, it's because, oh, no, they're worried sick. I mean, it's so bogus. I love every morning, um, after about an hour or so I'll, I'll pick up my phone and I'll look at CNBC because then you can see what the, um, uh, what the pre you know, what the futures are for NASDAQ and the Dow. And if it's down, there's always a picture of a guy with a sad face or his, what the futures are for NASDAQ and the Dow.

Starting point is 01:23:07 And if it's down, there's always a picture of a guy with a sad face or his head in his hands, or looking up at a screen like really terrified. And if the market's going up, you'll see a happy guy. It's so awesome just to look at the MSN, I see MBC website in the morning, it's great. It's always awesome just to look at the MSN, a CNBC website in the morning is great. It's always doing it. So before we finish those clips are over, but I do have one last anti-Trump Medicare or Medicaid report.

Starting point is 01:23:38 Many of the 1,500 federally funded community health clinics that provide free or reduced cost care to more than three million people Are at risk of closing because of the Trump administration's new tax and spending law It appears you keen to Gucci has more Yuki about half of such centers patients rely on Medicaid Meaning the centers do too for revenue The new laws cutbacks to that program mean many will no longer get payment and will have to close or cut back on services, according to Joe Dunn at the National Association of Community Health Centers. That, he says, will hit rural areas hard. Health centers are largely the only primary care network in the community and so if

Starting point is 01:24:20 there's a closure or reduction in services then it's going to be felt even more so than in maybe a suburban or urban setting. Now how does that square with reality that over 10 years Medicaid spending will actually increase by 25%, if not more, depending on who gets into Congress? Is this a derivative lie? Because well, if people get kicked off… That's a good term. I like it. Derivative lie.

Starting point is 01:24:51 If people get kicked off of Medicaid, yeah, then the services will cease to be needed. But that's unlikely to happen except for about a million illegal immigrants. That seems to be, and people who just don't wanna work or I don't know, I can't imagine. Oh, I saw a horrible story. I can't believe I, I thought I clipped that. It was, wait, let me see. I'm sure I clipped that one.

Starting point is 01:25:21 Maybe it was on the last show, let me see. I'm sure I clipped that one. Maybe it was on the last show. Let me see. It was like it ended with some kid. Let me see Medicaid. Oh yeah, no, that was actually the Amish clip. Let me play this clip at the end here. That was the one with Elon's democracy party

Starting point is 01:25:42 and I stopped it. Listen to what they did at the end here. The legislation extends the tax cuts from his first term, reduces taxes on tips and overtime pay, and provides funds for his immigration priorities. It also makes some of the biggest cuts in history to social safety net programs like Medicaid and food assistance. In Missouri, Kimberly Gallagher is worried about how the bill's new work requirements could affect her and her son's access to Medicaid. Her son Daniel has a rare genetic disorder and autism, and she is his primary caregiver. Medicaid is in every facet of our life.

Starting point is 01:26:18 It's not just medical, it's financial, it's care. And to lose any of those parts would drastically change our lives. It's unbelievable that they did this. So they show a mom with a kid who clearly has autism and he can't walk right. And he's severely autistic and like, oh, it's going to take away his care. Bull crap. autistic and like, oh, it's going to take away his care. Bullcrap. It specifically states specifically in the bill in plain English that even me, a three month graduate of Salem, Salem college, West Virginia can read and it says,

Starting point is 01:26:58 if you have a dependent child, that you're not going to be affected at all. So why would they lie like this? And why would Yamiche? On NBC. The pinnacle of socialistic reporting. Yeah. Well, because they just want to keep,

Starting point is 01:27:15 because it doesn't kick in until December of 26, right around those midterms. No, it's after the midterms. Right after the midterms. So they just want to keep it going. I know, and we have TikTokers, I don't have any clips, luckily for you. TikTokers are on there saying, No, it's after the midterms. Right, after the midterms. So they just want to keep it going. I know, and we have TikTokers, I don't have any clips, luckily for you. TikTokers are on there saying, I've lost my EBT.

Starting point is 01:27:32 I've lost, they've taken it away as though it all happened like yesterday. No. I mean, these people are liars. Yes. By the way, Buffy Gorilla, I'll have you know, is a Master of Journalism candidate at the University of Melbourne, Australia. A Master of Journalism, MJ, Master's degree in journalism. Candidate.

Starting point is 01:27:57 Candidate. Candidate, which doesn't mean Jack. I am too. I'm a candidate for all kinds of degrees. The three degrees, I'm all over the place with my candidacy. So she's not even okay. No. Why would you put that in there?

Starting point is 01:28:16 It just doesn't make any sense. Just had to put it in. Let's talk about war for a second. War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again. Well, it looks like the Israelis once again are controlling America. Like, hey, we're going to do a ceasefire. You tell us to do it. Gazans say they've had enough and they're ready for the war to end.

Starting point is 01:28:45 Enough. The war has been going on for long enough now. People are exhausted beyond imagination. I can't take it any longer. It's almost two years now and the situation is very difficult and it's becoming more and more difficult. Following days of deliberations and meetings with Palestinian factions, Hamas says it's ready to begin talks on a US-backed ceasefire

Starting point is 01:29:06 proposal. The news was met with joy and relief in the Gaza Strip. When Hamas gave its positive response, people felt happy because we are really tired. We are happy that Hamas responded positively and we hope that a truce will be announced and the crossings eventually reopen so we can receive flour. People are dying for flour and young people are dying as they try to provide flour for their children. Those in the enclave say they live in constant terror of aerial bombardment by Israeli missiles

Starting point is 01:29:39 and that there are no safe places for them to take cover. They also point to the lack of basic necessities, including food. Hamas is pressing for guarantees for a permanent end to the war, a commitment Israel has yet to make. However, the Israeli prime minister will be visiting Washington next week, where Donald Trump will likely be pressing him to negotiate. Two previous ceasefires brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the US have also seen a temporary halt in fighting and prisoner hostage exchanges. So both deals ultimately

Starting point is 01:30:14 collapsed. And then we have this little ditty out of Lebanon. Under the leadership of the late Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah, grew into a regional military player with tens of thousands of fighters, as well as rockets and drones. It is now much weaker after Israel decimated its command, killed thousands of its fighters and destroyed much of its weaponry. Nasrallah's successor is Naim Qassem, who in April said the group would not allow anyone to disarm it.

Starting point is 01:30:44 It is reported now that Hezbollah is considering scaling back its role as an armed movement without disarming completely. That emerges as the Lebanese government is preparing its response to a US proposal for Hezbollah's disarmament. The country's Deputy Prime Minister, speaking to France 24, said his government is gradually extending its authority as it works to establish a state monopoly on weapons. This cannot happen in a moment.

Starting point is 01:31:12 There will be some resistance. We hope the resistance is political. So this is the meaning we try to give to those fiery statements that we hear every now and then from Hezbollah leaders. US Special Envoy Tom Barrack will visit Beirut on Monday. This Saturday on social media, he appeared to urge a decision from Lebanon's leaders on phased disarmament of Hezbollah within months, saying, Lebanon's hope awakens. The opportunity is now.

Starting point is 01:31:39 This is a historic moment to supersede the strained confessionalism of the past and finally fulfill Lebanon's true promise of the hope of one country, one people, one army. Yeah, I know it's not very, uh, Hortonian of me, but sometimes when you just show some power and cut off the funding at the head of the snake, things start to move. Isn't it amazing? head of the snake, things start to move. Isn't it amazing? And I'm pretty sure president Trump is now about to start making moves to show Putin that he's serious as well.

Starting point is 01:32:12 President Vladimir Zelensky spoke on Friday with US president Donald Trump in what the Ukrainian leader said was quote, a very important and fruitful phone call. Now that Iran has been taken out on social media platform X, they said the pair discussed Russian airstrikes and broader frontline developments. They also said they spoke about opportunities in air defence and agreed they would quote �work together to strengthen the protection of our skies�. Zelensky then went on to thank the US President for his support. The conversation comes a day after Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed

Starting point is 01:32:48 Ukraine, Iran and other issues in a call the Kremlin described as frank and constructive. But despite phone calls, the conflict still continues on the ground. Overnight and into Friday, Russia launched a massive aerial attack against Ukraine, mainly targeting Kiev, while subsequent attacks also caused a blackout at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, said the country's energy minister. Also on Friday, a Russian Telegram channel reported that Ukraine had used a new type of drone to attack a strategic plant in the country's Rostov-Oblast region.

Starting point is 01:33:21 So new type of drone is what caught my eye. No sooner has the NATO 5%, really 3.5% been agreed to, then we see all kinds of deals. We have a memoranda between Ukraine and the US company SwiftBeat, who will enable scaling up production of interceptor drones. Do you know the company Swift beat John? No Well, there's a nice picture here of the executives of Swift beat sitting with President Zelensky and there's Eric Schmidt Formerly of Google moves in right away getting some of that sweet sweet military industrial complex cash and there's now a strategic cooperation that's been announced

Starting point is 01:34:07 between Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall, you know, to create some patriots for them. It didn't take but two weeks. And the money is flowing. And then I've got to play this. Lulu, your gal Lulu Garcia Navarro. You know who I'm talking about. Lulu?

Starting point is 01:34:33 No. Yeah, you do. Maybe. Yes, Lulu Garcia Navarro. She's the New York Times lady and she's always on MSNBC and on NPR. Lulu Garcia. and she's always on MSNBC and on NPR. Lulu Garcia. She has the very hip, the new modern look for glass. Look her up.

Starting point is 01:34:51 The modern look for glasses for women is the big, like 19. The big giant. Yeah, like 1969, 1970s, my mom had them. You know, the giant glasses. Lulu Garcia. Navarro, yeah. Yeah, I know, they look like crap. It's very hip. All the hip girls are wearing them.

Starting point is 01:35:10 Yeah, she's very hipsters. Yeah. So she's, and she even has like the 60s outfit on. She's got the 60s platform shoes. She's going all in, but you know, she's a journalist. So she did this huge interview with the one only Mark Rütte. Mark Rütte. Your buddy. Yes. And, and the title of this, so she also did it in, she did the interview on video, and they had, you know, big microphones

Starting point is 01:35:36 in front of their faces, because I guess it's a podcast. And the title of the video is Rütte Explains Why He's Such a Big Trump Fan. So I got a couple clips. There's a good one. Gee. I thought it would be interesting. Something that the No Agenda Show were flat-footed on. Secretary General, thank you so much for joining the interview.

Starting point is 01:36:01 I really appreciate your time. Really appreciate being here. Thank you for the invitation. Thank you for much for joining the interview. I really appreciate your time. Really appreciate being here. Thank you for the invitation. Thank you for the invitation. I'm going to start with a big but basic question, and I want it to be in the form of an elevator pitch if you will. What? Why should NATO matter to Americans now?

Starting point is 01:36:16 Okay, stop. I knew you'd catch that. Well there's that, but I met her wiki page. I would say sketchy. She's I would say a sketchy Sketch she's been all over the place Jerusalem she's been bureau bureau chief in Baghdad Jerusalem Rio

Starting point is 01:36:36 Party she was there during Arab Springs I educated Georgetown University She has she was one of six children refugees from the 59 Cuban Revolution. She earned a bachelor's degree in international relations, master's in journalism from City University in London. She's been all over the world, it looks like. She depends on where they station her, quote unquote, is the way I see it. So she is of that ilk. Right off the get-go, I think that we- I only bring-

Starting point is 01:37:11 Hold on. Yes, play, please. Everybody wants to spot the spoon. Yeah, everybody. I think that we should have that in mind as we listen to the lecture. And we will go back and listen to the beginning. Secretary General, thank you so much for joining the interview.

Starting point is 01:37:26 I really appreciate your time. Really appreciate being here. Thank you. I'm going to start with a big but basic question. And I want it to be in the form of an elevator pitch, if you will. What is this elevator pitch you speak of? We don't have this in the Holland. We walk the stairs, lady.

Starting point is 01:37:43 What should NATO matter to Americans now? What do Americans get out of this treaty today? It should matter. And if I was in the elevator, I would say, if you want to defend the US, you have to... If I was in the elevator, I'd say don't stand so close to me, you stinky. It should matter. And if I was in the elevator I would say if you want to defend the US you have to make sure that three things are secure.

Starting point is 01:38:11 Here we go. You need a secure Arctic because it is opening up and the Chinese and the Russians are sailing there. You need a secure Atlantic because it is your sea it is crucial. Yes. because it is your sea, it is crucial, and you need to secure Europe because Russia is here. And Russia is reconstituting itself at an incredible pace, and not to attack Norway, but to attack ultimately the US. If the Atlantic Ocean, if Europe is not secure, the US has a big problem. Well, there you go. By the way, announced we're buying icebreakers and we're buying them from Finland. We haven't agreed on the price yet, but we're buying them. That's been announced.

Starting point is 01:38:54 Why are we buying icebreakers? Ice will be gone by 2013? Oh, John C. Dvorak, please, please, please. The ice has only increased. It's baffling everybody. This is what climate change does. All right. Question number two.

Starting point is 01:39:16 Aren't you people in the EU just a bunch of freeloaders? I'm assuming that's how you sold it to President Trump. Yes, he sold it. He had to sell it to me. I'm not working for him. No, I'm not that's how you sold it to President Trump. Yes, he sold it. He had to sell it to me. I'm not working for him. No, I'm not working for him. He had to sell me. I was resisting.

Starting point is 01:39:31 I said, Donald, Donald, don't try to sell me. Just tell me with an elevator pitch what you want me to do. Who has conspicuously not been a very big fan of NATO and essentially views Europe, as he has mentioned in the past, as a bunch of freeloaders. He sees it as European nations basically funding their welfare states, you know, giving free health care, giving pensions at the expense of American defense. You think that view is fair? The second half of the view is fair, but the first half I would not buy into because I think that and I'm pretty much confident

Starting point is 01:40:05 of it. I'm very confident, that's why I'm stuttering. And I'm pretty much confident of the fact that the American president, Trump, very much realizes his whole team based on my conversations when I was in Washington in March, when I was in April, when I had the conversations last week in The Hague. Because you know I have them on speed dial. I said hey Donald I'm going to send you a text. March then April and then in The Hague.

Starting point is 01:40:34 He's basically got an office there. He made a big splash and I said Donald I'm going to send you a WhatsApp and you're going to tell me what I want to do. That for the US to stay strong and safe there is this embeddedness with European security and of course working together to keep the Indo-Pacific safe. But I do agree with the second half. Did you hear about the Indo-Pacific safe? Because that's what NATO does. Indo-Pacific is a North Indo-Pacific treaty organization.

Starting point is 01:41:05 There is this embeddedness with European security and of course working together to keep the Indo-Pacific safe. But I do agree with the second half because there is this enormous irritance since Eisenhower with American presidents and I think they're completely right that Europeans were not paying enough. And that's where you are paying an average 3.5% of your GDP on defense, that Europeans were struggling to get to 2%. So there he has a big point. And luckily last week in The Hague we solved that.

Starting point is 01:41:38 Yes, we solved that by saying, what's this in your mouth? You're going to up the ante, give us some 3.5%. And I don't have daddy issues. I don't. Before we get into that substance, I'd like to talk a little bit about the style. Because your interactions with President Trump in the aftermath of that meeting have been called, and I'm quoting here, fawning and orchestrated grovel. I saw someone refer to NATO now as the North Atlantic Trump Organization.

Starting point is 01:42:08 It's been a week. I never heard that one. I hadn't heard that one either. I'd like to. I also like the term orchestrated groveling. Yeah, I hadn't heard that. What is orchestrated? Well, it's Trump, you know, it's all a show.

Starting point is 01:42:21 President Trump in the aftermath of that meeting had been called, and I'm quoting here, fawning and orchestrated grovel. I saw someone refer to NATO now as the North Atlantic Trump organization. It's been a week. It's been a week. A lot of criticism. How do you see it? Well, I see it completely different, of course, because he is my daddy. Well let's face what is happening there were seven or eight countries in Europe not a 2% this was the so now is 5% a new benchmark do we really think that this would have been we would have been able last week in the Hague to agree to that 5% if Trump would not have been re-elected as president of the United States so I think when somebody deserves praise, that praise should be given.

Starting point is 01:43:06 And President Trump deserves all the praise. Because without his leadership, without him being re-elected President of the United States, the 2% this year and the 5% in 2035, we would never, ever, ever have been able to achieve agreement on this. So put that in your head. I want to get to what exactly these numbers are and what they mean. But there are these two camps after the summit. One said that you did what you did to sort of pacify President Trump's ego and have a successful summit, which you did. And the other says that while our president likes flattery, he ultimately sees it as weakness and it only

Starting point is 01:43:45 appeases him for so long. I'm sure you've seen all this commentary afterwards. I was 14 years prime minister in the Netherlands, so I know. So I know what bullcrap is. About criticism, but I don't care. In the end, I need to do my job. I need to do my job for the military guys. You got Raytheon breathing down my neck.

Starting point is 01:44:02 I've got Boeing talking crap to me. I've got to do my job, I've got to sell, sell, sell, daddy, lady. I have to keep the whole of NATO together and the biggest ally is the United States, that biggest ally has paid since Eisenhower more than the Europeans and now for the first time in 65 years we will equalize between what the US is paying and what the Europeans are paying so and without Trump that would not have happened. And now you see it, this, you got to listen to her little thing at the end there. I stepped on my own clip, listen

Starting point is 01:44:30 to what she does at the end. Ally is United States that biggest ally has paid since Eisenhower more than the Europeans. And now for the first time in 65 years, we will equalize between what the US is paying, and what Europeans are paying. So, and without Trump, that would not have happened. So this is it. NPR thing.

Starting point is 01:44:51 It's NATO versus BRICS. That's just the bottom line. And right now, NATO is looking pretty strong and BRICS is looking pretty weak. The Chinese have completely withdrawn. Moscow, who knows where Putin's at, but he's not going to do it alone. I read there's another publication out there which I've been looking at because what drew

Starting point is 01:45:11 my attention to it is Facebook banning it and it's out of India called OpIndia. OpIndia, cool. Yeah, OpIndia. I think it's opindia.com and they have nothing but these... I haven't put my finger on it if it's anti-Hindi. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I went to Google News and said Facebook Bands, because I heard that there's some new bands. Okay. And they didn't show up, because I guess I was reading an old feed or something, and it had this thing about OpIndia,

Starting point is 01:45:52 and I said, OpIndia, what's OpIndia? And I clicked on the link and I went to the site. Next thing you know, I've discovered this kind of gold mine of screwball news from India. I have very slick operation. This is not a slouch place. And in there, one of the articles was that how India is now the dominant character in bricks.

Starting point is 01:46:16 Hmm. And Modi's taking over bricks and everybody's falling by the wayside except India. So this brings me back to the old thesis that we, the United States has always had this problem with India. That's why we were traditionally sided with Pakistan, and we used to sell our just to Pakistan, and India used to buy all its armaments from Russia. This was traditional forever until just recently,

Starting point is 01:46:42 I think especially during the first Trump administration where they kind of tried to- Yeah, that's when he went over to Modi and went to the stadium and all that stuff. Yeah, and saw the big stadium full of people and said, oh man, I can't get this many people. This is a rally, this is a rally, Modi. This is what I call a rally, yeah.

Starting point is 01:46:59 And so he's, you know, so there's something up. And so you're right about bricks. Uh, but, and India and nobody wants this. Just like the Chinese, we talk about this as a sociologically that on this show, we talk about how nobody really wants the Chinese to be your boss. You want to be, you want to be boss, your boss to be an American or a Brit or somebody who knows how to manage people properly. You do not want it Chinese or Indians or Indian Indians could be worse.

Starting point is 01:47:30 Well, I remember the stories Mo used to tell me when he was in corporate life, especially as a black American, he was definitely a minority to the Indian rulers of the technology company he worked at. Yeah, I'll bet. So just sticking with the EU for two more clips, there's something going on. One of our producers is in Hungary. He says, man, there's a lot happening right now.

Starting point is 01:47:56 They're trying to get rid of Orban, trying really, really hard. He had this guy. It's in the clip, I forget his name, he was, first he was all in with Orbán's party and now all of a sudden he flips over, he's anti Orbán. Something is, just one more dimension aside, Orbán, they had the big gay rally in Hungary, huge gay event that was against the law basically, but they were going to do anything about it, which brings me back again to Op India. There's a number of stories there about trans, trans, trans in India, and trans flag, that pink and baby blue flag all over the place.

Starting point is 01:48:44 There is something going on here's what's happening in Hungary A day after European Union leaders of the 27 member bloc failed to reach a consensus on top drops for EU Parliament political parties across member nations are mulling over which umbrella alliance they will join in the latest Hungary's opposition party has decided to join European Parliament's EPP, or the European People's Party Bloc, which is a centre-right alliance. We are happy that the EPP group just voted in favour of our party. 97% of the EPP members supported joining the TISA party to the EPP.

Starting point is 01:49:23 We are a pro-European party as the Fidesz was some years ago. TISA, the Hungarian opposition party is led by Peter Magyar. The political newcomer is seen as a threat to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose party used to once be a part of the EPP bloc. However, Orbán's party parted ways with the alliance in 2021. Magyar on the other hand will be occupying a seat in EU parliament as an MEP. However, the opposition leader has emphasized that while being in Brussels helps strengthen the party's position, his focus remains on Hungary's elections in 2026. Well, you're right, because I didn't have a clip of the LGBTQ plus pride, illegal pride

Starting point is 01:50:09 demonstration in Hungary. But that's how you do it. That's what we've done traditionally. And I think Europe is like, oh, this is great. When you get the trans people and you get all the people who are just anti everything in and they're going to demonstrate and it looks big and Orbán's in trouble. At least that's what I'm hearing from our producer in Hungary. Meanwhile, Queen Ursula is under fire.

Starting point is 01:50:40 A vote of no confidence will be held this week. And this is still about the Pfizer deal, the secret text messages. This has haunted her. Oh yeah. Now, this is the guy, I think he's from Romania, a member of European Parliament, and he's spearheading this. He doesn't think it's going to happen this time but they're definitely on the war path against Queen Ursula.

Starting point is 01:51:10 The European Commission has been targeted by a motion of censure in the European Parliament. The MEP should debate it on Monday and the confidence vote is scheduled for Thursday. Attabled by this Romanian MEP, the motion of censure was signed by conservatives and the extreme right. His first argument concerns the Commission's refusal to disclose text messages during the FISA gays. The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg says that the European Commission should disclose those SMS which were exchanged between Frau von der Leyen and Bula from Pfizer about the contract, a contract with a value of 35 billion euros about the contract for the vaccines.

Starting point is 01:51:55 Furthermore, the conservative MEP accuses the commission of mismanagement of funds for the post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery plan. He also says that the Commission would have funded NGOs to lobby MEPs with the aim of promoting the European Green Pact, accusations refuted by the Commission. To be adopted and lead to the resignation of the College of Commissioners, the motion must secure two-thirds of the votes cast and the support of a majority of MEPs. There will be a vote against the motion, I'm sure of this, because the majority is still there with

Starting point is 01:52:32 Frau von der Leyen. And even in this majority there are a lot of discontent against Frau von der Leyen. They will not for the moment force her to resign, but probably this will happen in six months. Six months. Frau von der Leiden. I like that too. Instead of Queen Ursula. Frau von der Leiden. Oh, sorry John. Crap. It's one of those days, man. Hold on. Yeah, you're back. All my commentary, those funny one-liners that I had, the whole thing. All gone, all lost in history. Just about COVID deals and the shots for a second.

Starting point is 01:53:15 You probably haven't heard about this on the American mainstream media, which is mainly paid for by the pharmaceutical industry. So you might have missed this one from the FDA. which is mainly paid for by the pharmaceutical industry. So you might have missed this one from the FDA. It's held up, completely held up by the pharmaceutical industry. The media would not be today's media if it wasn't for the fact that they are propped up.

Starting point is 01:53:39 That's a better word, propped up by pharma. I mean, if pharma couldn't advertise and prop them up, my quad screen would be one screen. It would just be all over. Have one screen, BBC. Here is Dr Vinay Prasad of the FDA with a short announcement, not an unimportant one. Thank you all for coming. I'm going to be discussing the safety label update for myocarditis associated with mRNA COVID vaccines, which we just put forward. This came out on June 25th, 2025. The FDA approved a required updated warning, which is a class warning for all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in conjunction with the manufacturers. I'm going to walk you through the updated warning and the basis for the warning. The updated safety label for the mRNA COVID vaccines

Starting point is 01:54:26 harmonizes the age range across products and adds additional data about the adverse event of myocarditis and what we know. It's based on two factors. It's based first on the unadjusted crude incident rate from the 2023 to 2024 formulation. And it's also based on persistent and concerning cardiac MR findings.

Starting point is 01:54:44 This is the FDA analysis of the BEST system, which is an observational data system that captures myocarditis and pericarditis following immediately afterwards, the first seven days, COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. And what you see here is that even in 2023, 2024, the last year for which we have data, you see a rate of myocopyracarditis of eight out

Starting point is 01:55:07 of a million in all persons in this age range. And in the highest risk demographic group, young men between the ages of 12 and 24, it's about 27 per million. Notably the best data set does not allow us to disambiguate the risk by product. And as such, this is a class mRNA safety label. There you go. Did not see that on my local news. Or my cable news.

Starting point is 01:55:30 My cable news. No, of course not. Yeah. Myocarditis. And we had all these young men falling down. It's crazy. Dropping dead. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:55:39 Yeah. Athletes. Yes, athletes. You should always mention athletes. Yeah. Sad. Sad what they did. Yeah. Yeah. Sad. Sad what they did to us. Well they're still doing it.

Starting point is 01:55:50 Yeah. And they'll continue doing it until they stop advertising on TV and then that'll be the end of it because people can actually look into this stuff. I have this oddball clip I've been sitting on which is CCP versus the USA energy sector. Okay. Let's have a go. There is a coordinated assault by the radical left backed and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party to seize control of our courts, to weaponize litigation against US energy producers, all in order to undermine American energy dominance.

Starting point is 01:56:28 Senators on Capitol Hill are looking into the Chinese Communist Party's influence campaigns against U.S. energy producers. Senator Ted Cruz accusing the Chinese Communist Party of funding climate advocacy groups that work to block these energy producers in courts, bankrupting them through financial and expensive litigation. If this is truly about reducing emissions, why isn't China investing that money in reducing its own pollution? Communist China emits more carbon than the United States and Europe combined.

Starting point is 01:57:08 The lawsuits many times work to block oil and gas companies as well as coal companies here in the US. Cruz says that these lawsuits are in the name of climate, but actually they're about controlling global energy in favor of the CCP. The goal, well one panelist says that whether or not these companies know if they're benefiting the CCP, their actions work toward that goal, weakening the US power grid, increasing the price of power, and decreasing energy production. Hmm, I'm not sure I quite understood, mainly because I'm so annoyed by Ted Cruz. Well, what's happening is that it turns out that in investigation to all these lawsuits that prevent companies from drilling or doing this or doing that, there's all finance by the Chinese. Oh, really? Yeah, so they're financing a lot of the legal action taken against energy progress.

Starting point is 01:58:02 Smokeless war. That's what they do. That's a way to do it. I mean, I have to give, they can get away with it, which they apparently can. And that report wasn't clear enough. I see. I see. I see. No, no, but I'm just Ted Cruz. He just puts his foot in his mouth. All it just sounds like these foot's in his mouth all the time.

Starting point is 01:58:20 Well, which is kind of a shame because he was the debating champion. He thinks, I think he's taken himself so seriously as a debater. He's a master debater. A master debater. Yes, exactly. Nah. Yeah. It's just, I mean, remember when he, when he went to on vacation during COVID, remember

Starting point is 01:58:40 that? Yeah. He took the jet down to Jamaica or wherever he went. I don't blame him. No, but he is just a walking public relations nightmare, this guy. Let's play this clip on the migrants. This is a story that keeps unfolding, the South Sudan story. This is the latest.

Starting point is 01:58:58 Plane carrying people deported by the Trump administration has arrived in South Sudan after the migrants lost a last-ditch legal effort to halt their transfer. Officials say only one is from South Sudan. We're sending people to Sudan? South Sudan. South Sudan? Oh.

Starting point is 01:59:17 So I'm thinking, you know, both, I think throwing people out of the airplane into the drink and sending them to South Sudan, which they got sued over and the suit got lifted. And so they sent a bunch of people to South Sudan. And of course, then there's always a Costa Rica prison. I think a lot of this is just, I think it's the Trump administration's version of promotion. If you can convince these illegals that if they get shackled and brought on an airplane, they're going to get tossed in the Atlantic, they're going to start self-deporting. This could be a giant op, I'll use the term again

Starting point is 01:59:56 for this third time in the show, a giant op to get people to self-deport by scaring him with phony baloney, you know, mythical stories about, oh, you're going to end up in South Sudan. Who the hell wants to end up in South Sudan if you came from, you know, Mexico, let's say, or any place, Haiti even. Or you don't want to go to alligator Alcatraz. And you don't want to go to the alligator place and you don't want to get thrown out of an airplane alive.

Starting point is 02:00:23 Interesting. I heard that over a million people have self-deported. to the alligator place and you don't want to get thrown out of an airplane alive. Interesting. I heard that over a million people have self deported. Supposedly. And not all using the program. Many of them just left. Right. But, but if you use the customs and border patrol home app to self deport,

Starting point is 02:00:42 they give you a thousand dollars. Yeah. They give you a thousand dollars and there. They give you a thousand dollars. And there's been no evidence that they're not giving them the thousand dollars when they arrive. Right. When, yeah, once you're back home. There's not one, it has been one feedback story, again, making me think that this is all part of a scheme.

Starting point is 02:01:00 Cause you'd think that somebody, some Democrats say, Oh, they, they just trick them into leaving and then they'd over give them the money. That's what they said at the beginning of the program, if you recall. The Democrats came up with that bull crap. And so they've been giving him, obviously giving him the money. So I think that's, I take advantage of that. If I was worried sick. You know, one of my buddies here, Shane, he's an electrician. He used to live in Florida.

Starting point is 02:01:25 He's been in the Hill Country about as long as we are. And he tells me all kinds of stories about, so he hires Legals and he doesn't mess around this guy. But he said that all work in Boot Ranch. You should look up Boot Ranch. It's about 20 minutes from Fredericksburg. The average price of a home in Boot Ranch is $8 million. Boot Ranch?

Starting point is 02:01:55 Oh, yeah. And they've got golf courses. What town is it associated with? With the town of Boot. I live in Boot. What? Boot. Just don't even boot. Just look at boot ranch and, and there are now, no one is building anymore. And he said, you know, the reason why this like, I was out there with my guys and you know, they're doing some electrical work and, and all of a sudden, you know,

Starting point is 02:02:24 pick up truck goes by and they're honking their horn, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, ice, ice, ice, ice, ice. And like everybody just like, all these guys just split. Just for days they were gone. And it wasn't true. There was no ice raid on Boot Ranch. But man, there's some nice houses. I just went to images. That place is insane. There's some houses there that are. Yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 02:02:51 I told you. I told you. I mean, really, wow. And I'm grateful for Boot Ranch, because that's why we have a rockin' airport here. You know, it's small, but you can land your G4. So, yeah, we got good services because of Boot Ranch. But yeah, yeah. So that's a crazy, here's a place that's some of the besides of the

Starting point is 02:03:13 swimming pools are the size of a small lake. I know. Here's a flyover. That's nuts. Look at the price. How did this ever come about? A boot. Whoever's behind Boot Ranch, the promoter, the developer, that's the guy you want to

Starting point is 02:03:34 know. I'll find him and give him a call. You should. I mean, that guy is a genius. Most of us Fredericksburg people don't really mix with the boot ranch people. I wouldn't go looking at their houses. I wouldn't think they're mixed with too many people. They're mixed with each other.

Starting point is 02:03:52 Maybe somebody in Palm Beach. And some key parties, but that's about it. Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your currency. In the morning to you, the man who put the C's in the CCP lawsuit. Say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only mr. John C. DeVore! In the morning you and mr. Adam Curry in the morning our ships sea boost on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and the dames and nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room hello let's count you guys how we doing? Alright now what is average for a Sunday?

Starting point is 02:04:27 24, 25. What do you think it is today? 20. 26, 74. That makes no sense. Well, you know what? It's raining, not everywhere, but it's raining and 4th of July is over, everyone's sick of their family. They're hungover. but it's raining and 4th of July is over, everyone's sick of their family. They're hungover. They didn't donate, that's for sure. We only had a total of donations over 50 bucks. 29 people total out of a million listeners and then 30,000 people in a mailing list.

Starting point is 02:04:59 If you look at Twitter, that's because of our stance on Israel. That's just the beginning. It's just the beginning. it's all going downhill. Yeah, well, then where's the Jew money that we're looking for? And they wonder why donations are down Oh man, I mean, well, I'm not even gonna read them to you. It's not it's all come on. Okay Why do people put the effort in to say stuff like this? Well, I think a lot of them are bots. There's definitely bots at work on my timeline. I don't think there's that many bots.

Starting point is 02:05:37 I think there's a lot more. Why are the bots writing us? We're like small potatoes. Go write somebody over at Fox. The bots are practicing. Oh so they're Workshopping with us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're training the models here. I'll just I'll just go through some stuff Do you guys still ignore all of Trump's insanity to cherry pick some left-wing criticism?

Starting point is 02:05:59 That's a good one. That's Larry under would like that. I like that's a good one. That's Larry Underwood. I like that's a good one. We're Larry Underwood. The second, I know people personally that would feel that way. Sure. Sure. Cause literally insane and he's got insanities and he's a criminal. Let's see. We're scrolling down the timeline. Hmm. Okay. No, no, no, Uh, well. No, it's not that much. No, no, no, no, but... Considering our audience, we don't get as many complaints as you think.

Starting point is 02:06:31 I mean, I'm stuck at 98, uh, 98, uh, 100 people forever. Oh, here's one. You're a disgusting demon and need to seek mental help. That's a favorite. Why are you a disgusting demon that needs mental help? I don't know. What demon like thing did you do? I don't know. I don't know.

Starting point is 02:06:48 Okay, let's see. Adam Curry. Let's see. Since I've often promoted No Agenda podcast, not the, but No Agenda podcast. Who is this? Tay. Oh, Tay is from China. We're in the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle

Starting point is 02:07:02 of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle Since I've often promoted No Agenda Podcast, not The, but No Agenda Podcast, who is this? Tay. Oh, Tay is from China. We have nobody from China. I'll try it. Since I've often promoted No Agenda Podcast, I now post this disgusting retarded anti-Christian quote from No Agendas' Adam Curry. If you go after the Jews slash Israel, you automatically go after the Christians

Starting point is 02:07:26 because that's exactly what happened between Tucker and Ted Cruz. I don't think that's exactly what I said, but... What? Yeah, I don't know. Well, that's convoluted. Yeah, let's see. Is Ted Cruz Jewish?

Starting point is 02:07:39 No. I don't think... There were some really nasty ones about the flood. Like, um, let's see. Oh, people are sick. Oh no, they're, they're very, very sick. Uh, this I'm waiting for this. Is it, I'm trying.

Starting point is 02:07:56 There was a good one here. And that was, oh man, people post a lot of junk. Oh, you're going through your Twitter timeline. Yes. I thought you were getting emails. Here it is. I hope their house gets what they ignore happened to Gaza. If there's a God, he would strike bad people like Curry with lightning.

Starting point is 02:08:18 But God is fake and Curry is faking being a Christian. I'm curious faking being a Christian. And I must have F'd kids on camera and become part of the blackmail Israel lobby. Okay. So there you go. Who was that person? Well, that was a Megatronic. Megatronic has seven followers.

Starting point is 02:08:47 Seven followers, probably eight now. Well, when you see that, seven followers sending some rando note like that, that is a bot. Yeah, of course, there's lots of bots. I mean, there's gonna be nothing left of bots. It's bots making YouTube videos and botch watching the YouTube videos and somehow YouTube making money on it.

Starting point is 02:09:07 That's really what's going to happen. It's amazing. So we had a good idea over dinner, I think JC had this idea. Yeah. Which is a fireworks displays, you know, there's competitors, especially in China, are the drones. The drone displays where they're flying around and making images and stuff. How about, I think this would draw a big crowd. Drones all equipped with Roman candles trying to shoot each other down out of the sky. I'd watch that.

Starting point is 02:09:36 Yeah. You know, you, I can't even get you to do a microphone company. Now we're going to do drones with Roman candles. Oh, the microphone company is still in play. Please. Christopher Brown actually sent us a very reasonable exit strategy idea. It's already too late. Isn't the special been done? We can't even do these anymore. It's a little device that looks like a compressed air can that clips onto your belt or your purse. your belt or your purse. It connects to your smartphone and uses advanced AI to automatically remove your daily CO2 emissions from the surrounding air. And of course, you'll have to have some blockchain verification in there. And you can dress it up in an LGBTQ plus flag. Once you get home,

Starting point is 02:10:23 you can hook it up to a storage device. It will be collected regularly and buried safely in Africa. I kind of like that. That's a great idea. You might as well get on board. I mean, and think of the carbon credits we can get for that. Yeah. I mean, you could give those away with the, with the, what the, you know, the carbon credits are going to be worth. It's going to be dynamite. Anyway, thank you trolls for being here. It's nice to have you with us. They're listening to us at trollroom.io perhaps on a modern podcast app, which

Starting point is 02:10:56 you could find at podcastappsplural.com. And we are value for value. You, you already surmise that I'm sure Value for value means from time to time when you're like, you know, I got some value out of that show I sat around with over two and a half thousand people and I listened to it Oh, that was kind of good. I I laughed I cried I got mad. I learned something I got a good stock tip which would just be incidental and coincidental since we don't give stock tips Anything I learned a little bit about the history of Texas. Maybe I could sound a bit smarter around my friends, all my QAnon friends who are sending

Starting point is 02:11:32 you videos and links and this guy is spot on. He's got it. The guy who said, it took up some houses. That guy is spot on. Okay. put some houses, that guy, he is spot on. Okay, well before you continue, I stumbled on the boot ranch, one of the pages of inventory of houses. There's a couple, there's like 12 or 15 for sale right now.

Starting point is 02:11:55 There's a lot actually, a lot more than that. I'm counting at least 20 or 30. Oh wow. But there were four, I'd say the average price is four million, not eight, but if you go to the high end, $13 million, $13 million, $5 million, $5 million, $6 million. It's not cheap, but these houses are huge.

Starting point is 02:12:17 Oh yeah. They're like 20,000 square feet. The big ones, yeah. And then there's raw land, you can buy, here's raw land, 1.2. Yeah, for like a quarter acre. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, right.

Starting point is 02:12:35 Here's more, here's cheap raw land for 850 feet. Anyway, so if you're in the market for a house at Booth Ranch and you're listening to the show, consider sending us a little value back, a donation. You just learned about a great place to live we Got an airstrip nearby You got the the cute little town of Fredericksburg to hang out in and you can say you live in Fredericksburg when you really don't You live in boot ranch in the county of boot boot, Texas

Starting point is 02:12:57 In fact, there's a lot of them with Fredericksburg address. Here's a place for 13-7 and it's a boot ranch circle and it says Fredericksburg. Yeah. So there it is. Unincorporated. The HOA fees must be outrageous. Oh, I would never. More than my rent. Nobody should ever be in an HOA. I've never lived in one. I never will. I think it's dumb. You're throwing money away. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:13:29 Yeah, that's true. We don't have an HOA, but of course you can't tell the neighbors to tie their dogs up or stop shooting fireworks on my lawn. I think we, we solve that, those things differently here. There's other ways of doing it. Hey, we want to thank the artists who brought us the artwork under the value for value model for episode 1778. We titled that three holes, one bag. And we went back and forth a lot because we are kind of traditionalist when it

Starting point is 02:13:57 comes to artwork for holidays like Christmas and Easter and the 4th of July. And Nestworks, who is a real artist, made us a nice piece of an exploding firecracker, which had his kind of trademark imagery on there, and it's an ITM blast and a big explosion. It had all the elements. It popped on the page, you know, it looked good, particularly on a white background.

Starting point is 02:14:24 And I don't think, well, actually, if I recall, we did go back and forth quite a bit. Well, we started with American freedom, the Chevy, that was dragging his ass. Yeah, we didn't like the dragging, the Chevy dragging. The rear wheel was in the dirt. It didn't feel right to us. And that was bad.

Starting point is 02:14:45 You were going for the kids on the bike, which was like, no, it looked like a Disney drawing, a Disney cartoon. Didn't like that. The kids on the bike. Yeah, like the fourth bike parade. Oh, the fourth bike parade. Yeah, I wasn't going for it that much. I like the No Agenda Fireworks by Blue Acorn.

Starting point is 02:15:03 I thought that was nice. No agenda. I used Lady Liberty for the newsletter. Yeah, we did talk about that one. That was also nice, nice. And then the interesting one here is the Darren O'Neill's who's been doing the AI art longer than anybody else. He's got a piece next to ITM Blast,

Starting point is 02:15:23 which is the one we picked, called Bad Adam. And it is just, the dimension, there's no color range whatsoever. Tell me what comic strip does that look like? Archie. Yes, nailed it. It's completely derivative of the Archie comics. Yeah, except for the colors. Yeah, no, there's no luminance.

Starting point is 02:15:48 Now the one we both liked, and if it wasn't 4th of July, we would have chosen NASA Girl. I like NASA Girl a lot. Yeah, we like NASA Girl. Darren did that, it's a little girl popping out of a box with bad teeth. Bad teeth. That was good.

Starting point is 02:16:04 We both, if it wasn't 4th of July, NASA Girl would have been a winner for sure. And obviously there's tons more AI art for today. It's ruining everything. That's great. We have exactly one end of show mix and it's a piece of AI. It's it. No one sends a show mix and yet show mixes will end. I got a note from someone saying it's going to ruin the show. So I don't think it's going to ruin the show but it'll ruin the mix segment of the show. Well the mix section is ruining itself. The guys who are the creative song guys that used to do the mixes and they do derivative stuff and funny stuff and you know, they throw it into a corg and you know.

Starting point is 02:16:50 What happens is, you know, they're just tired. They're tired. Yeah, it's amazing that we can do this show at the high level that we continue to proceed with and I think it has nothing else except, I think it has nothing else to do with any one thing except, except we never went to the third show. I think we did one or two third shows. I'm pretty sure we did at least one third show. No, we just kept promising. Just classic promise and never deliver. Yeah, like every other thing we promised. Like the microphone company. Like the HEMA underwear. Yeah, like the vinegar book.

Starting point is 02:17:27 The microphone's coming. That microphone is never coming. As soon as the tariff thing is worked out, we're done. Oh, now you're blaming it on tariffs. This happened before Trump was even elected the microphone company. Please. You weren't even thinking Trump was going to win. Let's go on to some other topic. I've been using the curry one microphone for over a year and a half. Yeah. And people love the sound of it. It's a good sounding product. It's a great product. So we have. Yeah, it's an outstanding product. All right.

Starting point is 02:18:06 Thank you very much, Nestworks. We appreciate you. And now we're going to thank our producers who sent us some value. We thank everybody who sends us financial, time, talent, treasure donations, $50 and above. And this is the executive and associate executive producer segment where anybody with $200, not only do we read your notes, but we will also give an associate executive producer credit, which is a real credit, just like our PhDs in media deconstruction. And you can put this credit on the IMDB. You can put it on your letterhead. You can use it in Hollywood. And if anyone complains or questions it, we will vouch for you personally on the phone.

Starting point is 02:18:42 If three, if you have three. Yes. Yeah, we will. Yeah. So if you have $300 or more, then you get an executive producer credit and we will also read your note and we kick it off with Kent Oler who's from Hockley, Texas and Kent. Now this is a belated 1776.76. He missed the 4th of July, but still coming in in the 4th of July weekend. Thank you very much Kent a beautiful beautiful donation and he says that thank you for your courage please knight me sir tardy the delayed.

Starting point is 02:19:17 My late brother hit me in the mouth way too long ago to admit so could you please deduce me. You've been deduced and he would like a build back build back better jingle and f-35 karma and he says God bless thank you from Kent been down on bending knee oh yeah bear the brunt of all the burdens like a broken one should be build with blinded loyalty

Starting point is 02:19:53 that the better ones than you for a better life beyond your freedom build back better ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm feeling like better For someone else Ah, thank you Jeff Smith You've got Karma That was an example of the kind of material we used to have people produce that has now been replaced by AI because of the lack of...

Starting point is 02:20:26 Yes, that's the Jeff Smith who I don't even know if he listens anymore. He's in Nashville, he's on tour, he's a working musician, but whenever I say, hey Jeff, can you help me out? Right away he drops everything, jumps into a studio and makes it and we love him for that and that is there's a professional I one of the few we have left. Sir Jeff a different one in Bethlehem Pennsylvania 33333 and he writes ITM please put me on the birthday list for 7-9 we got you thank you for your courage sir Jeff a baron of PA Route 33 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Starting point is 02:21:09 All right. Congratulations. The Indianapolis Noagenta June Meetup, Greenwood, Indiana, $300. This is a switcheroo for the raffle donation winner. So this goes to Adam Ketterman and Adam Ketterman will put that in right now He will be an executive producer for this episode greeting sirs I just recently had the pleasure of attending the in Indianapolis No agenda meetup and had some met some great open and fun people. I won the raffle therefore sending it back into the cause

Starting point is 02:21:40 Thank you just started listening and I really appreciate the deep dives and the topics that really concern all of us deep dive I look forward to upcoming content and getting to know the locals better and he says do you still have good to be here brulph to play well of course we do good to be here brulph it's Fauci now we we have Lavender Blossoms, our buddy in Northville, Michigan. 22722 Adam. Did you knock over the rain stick? Yeah, there you go. Sir Cal did it. He said it. I hope all is well. Stay dry, Sir Cal of Lavender Blossoms dot org. Yes, hope all is well there Sir Cal. Dame Shelley is in Grand Forks, North Dakota, 21270. That is an associate executive producer. She says

Starting point is 02:22:34 Happy Birthday Sir Chadwick on July 8th. Love from your sister Dame Shelley. Ah, how sweet. Linda Lou Patkin, we're already there. 200 bucks. Lakewood Colorado, jobs K. For a resume that tells your story, highlights your wins, and shows why you're unique, visit imagemakersinc.com for your resume, for a resume that gets results. That's image makers Inc. with a K, and work with Linda Lu, Duchess of Jobs, and writer of winning resumes. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.

Starting point is 02:23:14 Yeah! You got karma. And then we have one more, final anonymous in Seattle, Washington $200 and Anonymous says I thought the pride flag represented tolerance and compassion Huh, you know actually this brings me to a bonus clip a bonus clip this is a clip that was doing the round several people sent it to me a user on X name known as Ringo

Starting point is 02:23:46 star not to be confused with the beetle Ringo star and this is finally one of our gays saying hey enough already and I just love this guy I thought he was hilarious and how he presented his argument and his case you might not like the truth but I'll never tell a lie. The LGB community needs a divorce from the TQ+. Not a separation, not a break, a full blown court stamped, assets divided, move out by Friday, divorce. Because we need to make something very, very clear here. LGB, that's just sexual preference. Yeah, me as a guy, I just like other guys.

Starting point is 02:24:27 That's it. Not a pronoun party and not a gender celebration. Just good old fashioned same sex attraction. That's it. Now the TQ+. Oh, that's not a sexual preference. No, no, no. That is an identity crisis center with a revolving door. You walk in as she heard and come out as a two-spirited they them dragon king. What? LGBT says love is love. The TQ Plus says yeah I'm a non-binary lesbian with a penis and if you don't date me you're a bigot. I'm sorry but wouldn't it being gay turn into navigating someone else's delusions?

Starting point is 02:25:03 Yeah. I didn't sign up for that shit. We used to fight for acceptance, now we're being guilt tripped into co-signing on someone's fantasy. I don't think so. Let me tell you something. I didn't come out of the closet

Starting point is 02:25:14 just to be shoved in another one. I know the difference between a man and a woman. So yes, the LGB wants a divorce stat. There you go. Finally someone's standing. I like the, I didn't come out of the closet just to be shoved back into another one. That's a good line. That's a good line.

Starting point is 02:25:30 I like that. All right. Thank you very much to the executive and associate executive producers for episode 1779 of the No Agenda Show. We'll be thanking the rest of our donors $50 and above. You can always support the show by going to noagendadonations.com. We take PayPal, you can use your credit card with Stripe, you can send cash if you want, gold coins,

Starting point is 02:25:50 we take it all to our P.O. Box. Go to NoAgendaDonations.com to find out more. Thank you again to these executive and associate executive producers. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Music Good to be here bro. Shut up slave. Shut up slave. Let's see. I got some public service stuff here.

Starting point is 02:26:28 We can play the PFAS stories. Oh, funny. I have the PFAS stories as well. Where do you have them from? I have them from NPR. This is interesting. I have them from CBS. I think we should play CBS first and then NPR.

Starting point is 02:26:42 Okay. Let me just see... All of a sudden, when they show up like this, this is like, you know... Something's going on, something's going on. This is like three holes, one bag. Here we go, CBS. The House will come to order. Minnesotans call it Amara's Law, named for Amara Strandy.

Starting point is 02:27:03 And starting this year, it's America's strictest state law policing PFAS. Chemical compounds found in everyday products such as non-stick cookware and cosmetics, and linked to childhood cancers and other health issues. It's in products, it's in humans, it's in animals, it's in air, it's in water, it's in fish. Katrina Kessler heads Minnesota's pollution control agency. We all need to think about exposure to PFAS and also ways to mitigate PFAS. Here's how Strandy helped expose Minnesota's PFAS problem.

Starting point is 02:27:35 2022 was the year my cancer became unstoppable. She was 20 and dying of liver cancer when she testified before lawmakers. PFAS have created a public health crisis that has plagued my community for nearly 60 years. Minnesota's new law will reduce, then eliminate, the manufacture and sale of non-essential PFAS products by 2032. 3M, a multinational corporation headquartered near Minneapolis, developed PFAS and manufactured them for decades. According to the state, PFAS waste discarded into landfills, leached into local groundwater.

Starting point is 02:28:13 Don't drink the 3M cancer water, became the running joke at my high school. There's no definitive proof PFAS caused Amara's cancer, but she was convinced and inspired lawmakers to act. So why don't I play your PFAS clip one, then I'll play my clip two and then your clip two. It'd be interesting. Let's see what happens. PFAS or forever chemicals are everywhere in our daily lives.

Starting point is 02:28:40 In the fish. Manufactured chemicals show up in our food, our water, consumer products, and they are... It's the same script! ...are inside of us. Oh! Now, scientists in the UK say we may be able to harness our gut microbiome to eliminate at least some of these chemicals from our bodies.

Starting point is 02:28:58 Wait a minute. Gut microbiome. I'm thinking that Ozempi can solve this. NPR's Will Stone explains. These PFAS chemicals, and there are thousands of them, show up in the blood of virtually every American. Their effect on our health isn't fully understood, but research has found links to cancer, cardiovascular disease, decreased fertility and other harms. Kieran Patil is a professor of molecular systems biology at the University of Cambridge.

Starting point is 02:29:25 He says there's no easy way to get rid of them. They're forever chemicals because it's very difficult to attack them chemically. Scientists are exploring how to remove them from our environment, for example using harsh chemicals or intense heat. But of course, you know, we can't apply this process to human bodies to get rid of them. This is why Patil turned to the bacteria in our gut microbiome. His team has identified certain strains that have a remarkable ability to sop up these chemicals. To kind of act as a sponge and soak them up inside and store them inside. Images from his lab show this clearly clusters of PFAS molecules stashed in the bacterial cells. The research was published

Starting point is 02:30:03 in the journal Nature Microbiology Today. Pattsil's lab ran experiments with mice. Their microbiomes were first colonized by these bacteria strains from the human gut. The scientists saw the bacteria absorb the PFAS and the animals eventually cleared it when they went to the bathroom. Well this is interesting so CBS is all over 3M and the poor girl with cancer and NPR is talking about solutions. Back to CBS. I was exposed to these harmful chemicals through no fault of my own and as a result, I will die with this cancer.

Starting point is 02:30:37 3M told us it supports regulations based on the best available science and established regulatory practices. The company will stop producing PFAS by the end of this year and agreed to pay the state 850 million dollars for a PFAS cleanup. And now Minnesota has a PFAS law because a dying woman told her story so well. One person can make a difference. You just have to have the willingness to fight the good fight. Amara Strandi died five weeks before the bill became law. Uplifting story from CBS.

Starting point is 02:31:11 We go back. Hold on, before I play second half, did anyone ask her if she got vaxed? This happened in 2022. Just wondering. I mean, I don't want to throw in a variable here, but. Wow, wow, no, no, no. Okay, back to your second clip.

Starting point is 02:31:25 This natural PFAS removal process, which we did not know before this study, right? Patil says the next step is to launch clinical trials in humans to see whether probiotics can increase the amount of these PFAS-hungry bacteria. He and his collaborators have started a company to do this. I think this is a really important finding. Andrew Patterson is a researcher at Penn State who works on PFAS in the gut microbiome. He says the findings open up a tantalizing possibility, but everything gets a lot more complicated

Starting point is 02:31:53 when you jump from mice to humans. How do you increase those beneficial bacteria through probiotics? I mean, that's quite challenging. Not to mention there are many PFAS chemicals and some could act differently. This certainly teases at that possibility that there is therapeutic benefit. I think without the human trials, it's probably still a little premature to make that assessment.

Starting point is 02:32:12 But Patterson agrees the research offers a new direction and some hope for tackling a growing problem. That's interesting why there's two completely different PFAS stories in the same week. Yeah, it is. By the way, MSNBC for some reason has, they're doing podcasts now on television. Rachel Maddow is on Nicole Wallace's podcast. And they're each in their- Which they're broadcasting because they can't get Rachel Maddow to come

Starting point is 02:32:46 in but once a week so now there's cheating. Well wait, no Nicole Wallace is also at home. Now she has a nicer home. Who's that dude? Oh no, that's, that is in fact Rachel Maddow has like a homemade booth with sound absorbing material around her. And they both have their cans on. This is odd. They're like, hey, Joe Rogan has a great formula.

Starting point is 02:33:20 This is probably what the new company is going to be. Just a bunch of podcasts. All podcasts all the time? Yeah, podcasts on TV. Why not? It's cheap. It's the way to go. It's a cheap production.

Starting point is 02:33:34 There's no doubt about it. Yeah. And it's so interesting to watch. Oh God. Hey, you remember the summer of music, the party of music in France where all the girls got pricked with needles? Yeah, would you as a follow up? There's a follow up and it's very interesting.

Starting point is 02:33:54 Do you remember the headlines about syringe attacks during Fête de la Musique in France? While people on social media have been talking about being pricked with needles, not a single case has been confirmed yet according to an investigation by French newspaper Le Monde. And experts say that's a common issue with needle spiking. But what actually happened? Days before the annual music festival took place across France at the end of June, calls to jab women with needles during the festival circulated on social media. In response, videos popped up warning people about such attacks. After the evening of the festival, about

Starting point is 02:34:28 145 cases of needle spiking were reported across France. Most of the cases involved young women. Some said they experienced intense and sudden fatigue and feared that they had been injected with the substance. Lamont's investigation states that police arrested more than a dozen suspects without any charges being laid. Several have since been released, some because of a lack of evidence, while other cases are still being investigated. The newspaper reported that doctors examined 22 women who said that they had been jabbed, but found no evidence of needle prick injuries or any psychoactive substances. Some cases turned out to be mosquito bites, according to the newspaper. The chair of a French parliamentary inquiry into TikTok said that videos warning against such

Starting point is 02:35:10 attacks can spread fear around something that is extremely marginal. But this year's incident is not the first of its kind. In 2022, people in France reported hundreds of cases of needle spiking at concerts, bars or nightclubs, but in most of them no substance had been detected. Social contagion. Yeah. How about that? And social, I don't want to, I hate saying it, but luckily I-

Starting point is 02:35:35 Women, it's young women. They're most susceptible to it. That's what you're going to say. No, but now that you mention it. Yeah. Young women are very susceptible to social contagion. It's part of their subculture. DNA. It's part of their DNA.

Starting point is 02:35:50 It's part of their DNA. It's part of their DNA. Yes. Yeah. Makes sense. People should, they want to understand this fully. Look up, go to Wikipedia. June bugs.

Starting point is 02:36:02 June bugs. June bugs. That's right. Look up the June bug contagion. That was a good one. Yeah. That's that, you know, and makes sense. There were videos circulating on TikTok and then people felt intense fatigue, which is what happens when you're doing power of suggestion is MDMA. Power of suggestion plus plus MDMA. MDMA equals, oh, I got pricked by a needle. Yeah, so no one actually felt being pricked by a needle,

Starting point is 02:36:31 but they're like, oh, I feel tired all of a sudden. I must have been pricked by a needle. What's that? Oh no, I got pricked. Oh, it's a mosquito bite. That's very powerful stuff when you think about it. How can we turn that into a giving moment for no agenda? How can we turn it into an exit strategy?

Starting point is 02:36:46 Speaking of Paris, this will really get you sick. Remember, we have a heat wave, a heat dome over Europe. Now, would you or would you not like to take a dip in the Seine? That's the question Parisians are asking each other this Saturday as the river opens up to legal public swimming for the first time in over a century. As you see there, the first bathers have already taken the plunge in central Paris near the Notre Dame Cathedral. Let's hear what they had to say. I'm so surprised. I thought the water would be freezing. Super cold. But it's quite warm, actually. I thought it would be cold like seawater but it's warmer. That's amazing.

Starting point is 02:37:25 Two other swimming sites are due to open. One in Eastern Paris near the Finance Ministry and another near the Eiffel Tower. That's where France 24's Ténishk Saha is standing by. Ténishk and Hidalgo has made good on her promise to open the Seine up to swimming. How are things shaping up where you are? Are Parisians showing up? Well, Alison, everyone is gearing up. As you can see right behind me, as you might know, there have been weeks of intense heat in the French capital with Parisians looking for another way to cool off and the opening of these three dedicated sites

Starting point is 02:37:56 on the river Seine is sure to serve to that purpose. So there's a health crisis in Paris because of the heat. So let's just throw them in the sand. That'll help it. That won't make them sick. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that story. A hundred years, people have not, and all of a sudden, Oh, don't worry. It's good. Remember all the swimmer, the Olympics, the Olympics, supposedly. Oh yeah. They were puking right after the race. They were all puking. It were. Yeah. And that wasn't just from the opening ceremony. No. You're on a roll here. That's due to nothing. Yes.

Starting point is 02:38:32 Might as well play these stories. This is the North Korea bull crap story of all time. Oh, this is on PBS. So that makes sense. This week, federal prosecutors charged four North Korean nationals with scheming to get hired by a US company as remote workers, and then steal nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. It's a relatively new North Korean threat, operatives using fake IDs and credentials to infiltrate American businesses. Freelance investigative reporter Bobby Johnson explained how and why they're doing it in a Wired magazine article headlined, North Korea stole your job. Bobby, it's more than jobs that North Korea is after.

Starting point is 02:39:17 Why are they doing this? So the reason for this scam is really to earn money from well compensated jobs in the US and in the West and send it straight back to Kim Jong-un and his regime to fund various things from the nuclear weapons program to his personal slush fund and other government operations. North Korea is really under pressure because of sanctions so they can't make money through normal means. What is this? And what does cryptocurrency have to do with it? That's funny you should ask,

Starting point is 02:39:49 because their story goes, I only have one more clip, because I couldn't take it anymore. It's a bull crap story, there it was. And this guy from Wired, you know, is just making stuff up, basically. But it goes on and on, and they never, the story concludes there's no crypto angle at the end.

Starting point is 02:40:08 They just threw it in there for no good reason. All right. I guess they get your attention. It got my attention, but they go on. I guess people have gone on and they've got fake IDs and they're trying to work for these tech companies, home, home jobs. And according to this guy, they, they get a laptop and delivered to this guy, they get a laptop and deliver it to their home, which is a middleman someplace in Minnesota who then ships it off to Korea or keeps it or makes a copy and the Korea guy does the work and this whole thing, it's ludicrous and then somehow it's propping up North Korea.

Starting point is 02:40:41 They also access computer systems, steal data, potentially plant malware or other dangerous software so that they can in the future do ransomware attacks as we've seen in the past. What kind of jobs are we talking about and what kind of companies? As we all saw from the pandemic, a lot of jobs went remote. But one of the widest ranging is software engineering. And so this is a place where people are very used to over a long period of time for hiring remote workers who get the job done. They're coding websites, they're building apps, they're making kind of all doing all the IT and technical stuff.

Starting point is 02:41:17 And so these are really the target jobs for these operatives. In job interviews, how do these guys disguise who they really are and where they really are? Yeah, so we'll go through the scam a little bit. So what they do is first of all, they steal an identity. So they get hold of someone's ID, their personal details, their social security number. They make a resume up that says, you know, they know how to do this. They know how to do that.

Starting point is 02:41:42 They know how to code websites, whatever it is that the jobs are acquiring. They'll then get on to an interview talking over a video like this. They'll use all manner of tools at their disposal to try and pass that interview. So they will have an AI that generates a script for them. So the interviewer asks a question, the AI is listening, it will create a script that the person can then read back and sound relatively fluent or knowledgeable, and particularly help them get over their difficulties with English because these North Korean operatives, although they've been trained, they're not

Starting point is 02:42:14 native English speakers and they're not kind of who they say they are, so they're trying to pretend. But they'll also do stuff like if they're asked to do software tests or coding tests, they'll use AI or programmatic tools to kind of cheat those tests and look like they're better than they are. And then when they get the job, that's when things get even more complicated and they have to bring in other people to help them succeed. Well, that was like filler content. It was highlighted on the PBS web page.

Starting point is 02:42:47 And I said, Oh, let me look at it. And by the way, I, again, I went on forever with all these details about using AI and it went on and on and on. And I, so it was highlighted. I said, well, this has got to be interesting. And I got these two clips and I realized what you just said. Yes. Filler. Filler crap, dumb story. You wasted my time with that. Interesting and I got these two clips and I realized what you just said. Yes filler. It's filler crap

Starting point is 02:43:06 Yeah, dumb story. It's my time with that. Well, I mean I intended on doing that Well, good job, by the way this the best people with Nicole Wallace. I'm not Joking, they're doing podcasts on MSNBC That's how you'd save money. They're still yapping together. Hashtag best people. I'm sure it's just so entertaining because Nicole Wallace, she's a brainiac and you have crying.

Starting point is 02:43:36 What's her name? There's always in tears crying. Rachel's got to be some rhyme I can make that would explain it. Yeah. That's, that is very, that's like reverse. Anyway, let's do some tech news. This caught my eye because this is quite a lot of layoffs. Breaking news out of a Microsoft. I'm sorry, John. Breaking, breaking.

Starting point is 02:44:01 Breaking news out of a Microsoft headquarters in Redmond. The company now confirms thousands of workers are being laid off. Microsoft began sending out layoff notices this morning. Just over 9,000 workers will be losing their jobs, including nearly 2,300 local employees here in Washington. This is the company's second mass layoff in recent months. In May, Microsoft laid off 6,000 workers company-wide, including 2000 here in Washington. Dude, that's a lot of people. What's going on with that?

Starting point is 02:44:36 They're the way it's being played. Co-pilots taking over their jobs. really? No, no H1B guys. Oh. They're really in a delay off. They're laying off a bunch of what they consider dead wood overpaid, mature workers. People have moved up the ladder. They're getting paid too much. So they're going to bring a bunch of H1B Indians in and have them take those jobs cheap.

Starting point is 02:45:01 Wow. Wow. And that's how you do it. That's what Sacha Nadella would do. It's what you do. Yeah. So what are the rules? Is those relaxed for H1B workers?

Starting point is 02:45:15 Has it gotten easier to bring those in? That's all I know. It might not even be true, but that's what I'm led to believe. Well, I'm definitely not upgrading to Windows 11 now. I don't trust it Do you remember the lawsuits the AI copyright case? Yeah, we had a number of clips on it. Yes. Well, my favorite part is the part where they're gonna the lawsuit goes against both the the Corpus and against the person who asks for the output.

Starting point is 02:45:47 Well, it's a non-starter, says the judge. While the AI wars continue to escalate between tech giants, groups of creatives have been pushing back. And now in a win for Big Tech, a judge has dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by 13 authors against Metta over AI training. The group included big names like comedian Sarah Silverman, novelist Jacqueline Woodson, and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Starting point is 02:46:13 They accused Metta of illegally using their copyrighted works to train its flagship generative AI model, LAMA. But instead of the declaration that Metta violated copyright law, the judge ruled the plaintiff's arguments weren't strong enough to move forward. According to a copy of the ruling obtained by Courthouse News, the judge stated the dismissal doesn't mean Metta's actions were lawful, only that the plaintiff's quote, made the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of the right one. The judge said a potentially winning argument was barely mentioned.

Starting point is 02:46:46 The author's lawyers didn't present evidence on how Meta's AI might flood the market with copycat content from the real authors. In a statement to the Associated Press, the lawyers representing the authors disagreed with the decision, saying in part, the court ruled that AI companies that feed copyrighted protected works into their models without getting permission from the copyright holders or paying them are generally violating the law. Yet, despite the undisputed record of Metta's historically unprecedented pirating of copyrighted works, the court ruled in Metta's favor.

Starting point is 02:47:17 Metta argues users of Llama don't have access to the actual copyrighted works and that there's no evidence anyone has used the system to retrieve them or substitute their work for the authors. The judge also clarified that this ruling only affects this specific case, not other ongoing cases or those who may bring similar cases against Meta in the future. Man, looks like they got some bad advice on that one. I don't think these guys, the lawyers know what they're doing. No, no.

Starting point is 02:47:48 And I don't know that they're ever going to know what they're doing. And I'm not sure that they're ever going to get a good case together. It may be someday down the road, but it's going to be too late. Yeah. When it happens, because these systems will be loaded to the gills with stuff and you can't pull it out. I think unless you can find some way, like say, well, okay, meta, my book is in there and is being used, uh, repurposed and, uh, and used in other people's work.

Starting point is 02:48:16 I want my book pulled from the corpus. You know what they, you know what they should have done? They should have called Rob Carty. Boots and suits. He'll take care of it. That's gonna be the new ambulance chaser gig. Lawyers who go after AI companies for you. Not until somebody shows that it pays.

Starting point is 02:48:40 Well, that's what I'm saying. Someone's gonna come up with- No one's shown this paid. No one has paid out. The ambulance chasers show a profit. Yeah, I know. But when they figure it out... They may never. Well, they may.

Starting point is 02:48:54 May never may is possible. I think they never will. I don't think it's doable. You're going to have to be some sort of genius to bus this thing. That's what I'm talking about. Rob the constitutional lawyer. He's a genius. He's a genius. Well, if he was that much, he'd be working on it as we speak.

Starting point is 02:49:12 Oh, trust me. He's up there in Canyon Lake. How can I get some money out of this? This is a good idea, Curry. Finally an exit strategy. Curry, exit strategy. He'll give you a finder's fee. Here you go $1,000 Hey, I'm a knight. Thanks for my million. You'll be moving into boot ranch. Hey, here's a here's a here's a grand

Starting point is 02:49:34 Thanks, boys. Good idea Hey, I got a sports ball story for you Oh, no, a major league baseball pitcher is benched as the league investigates unusual betting on pitches he threw. First pitch missing low ball one. On June 15th, Cleveland Guardians right-hander Luis Ortiz threw the first pitch of the second inning far outside the strike zone. That's when a betting integrity firm identified unusual bets on whether that pitch would be

Starting point is 02:50:01 a ball or a hit by pitch when a player is hit by the ball. Pedro Páez leads off and takes one left foot. He's just a little bit outside. Later in the month against the Cardinals, Ortiz threw the first pitch of the third inning even farther outside the strike zone and again unusual betting action was detected. After those pitches were flagged, Major League Baseball opened up the investigation and spoke with the Major League Baseball Players Association. Ortiz was supposed to start last night's game against the Cubs,

Starting point is 02:50:29 but the Guardians saying he's been placed on leave per an agreement with the Players Association due to an ongoing league investigation. It comes a year after San Diego Padres infielder Tukapita Marcano was banned from baseball for placing nearly 400 bets on the game. And in February, an umpire was fired for sharing a sports betting account with a friend who gambled on the game. After the meteoric rise of sports betting, no league is immune to potential controversy. Just last week, an investigation into one of the NBA's top free agents came to light. Officials now looking into allegations Malik Beasley gambled on the game. It is an extremely serious situation because it goes to the very heart of his fans, spectators,

Starting point is 02:51:13 anyone who cares if you can trust what you're watching. The Detroit News now revealing Beasley's personal financial woes with millions in debt. As for Luis Ortiz, he's on leave pending that investigation. Well, all this to say, Hey, I'm good work. Fine. I didn't know how man you stepping on my, I was giving you a compliment for the clip cause you just came out of the blue. I had no idea. Hold on. I'm shocked shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.

Starting point is 02:51:43 Yeah. You should have put that on the clip. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Then you stop the clip and you let me talk. I know I screwed it up. I screwed it up. Yeah. But how about that? Back to this.

Starting point is 02:51:53 Back to this. This all stems from the plague of prop betting, which we've talked about on the show before. Like he's going to hit the batter with the ball. Well, wow, I can do that. I've always believed that prop bets, I look at them all the time. They have, well, is Trump going to wear a red tie or a blue tie in his inaugural?

Starting point is 02:52:14 I mean, if I saw that prop bet floating around, I was Trump's family. I'd say, Hey dad, what are you going to wear? I'm going to wear the red tie. Okay. You sure? Yeah, I'm definitely going to wear the red tie. Okay. And then you go bet. I mean the prop beddings, it prop bedding is a scam. It has, it has corruption written all over it. And you see there's some of the properties. Is she going to wear high heel shoes? Is the first Oscar and then go to so-and-so?

Starting point is 02:52:44 Is this, is she going to come out in a dress? Is she going to do this? Is he going to wear high heel shoes? Is the first Oscar and then go to so-and-so? Is this, is she going to come out in a dress? Is she going to do this? Is he going to do that? All these are prop ballot. Cause these, these, these sick, I tell them sick, they're sick, depraved gamblers will bet on anything. I got to get in on some of this prop bet action. This sounds like fun. It's not fun unless you know what's going on. If you're a criminal, it's fun. Cause it's easy money.

Starting point is 02:53:10 Rob, the constitutional lawyer says, tell John this is all privilege. He won't be commenting. So just so you know, he won't be commenting because I guess he won't be commenting on what he's already on. He's already, he's already doing the AI lawsuits. Good luck, Rob. I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda.

Starting point is 02:53:39 In the morning. Yeah, even though it is the Fourth of July weekend, we still have some actually some pretty nice meetup reports.

All right, before we get to John's tip of the day, we always have to have an ISO off Which means we determine what we're going to play at the very end of the show We show you how the sausage is made where we argue about what we're going to do. I have only one today

Starting point is 03:11:00 So that doesn't bode well for me since you have two. Well, give it a shot. Just wow. That's not too bad. I mean, I like it if it was, you know, but it's not that... How come you have... Yours are five seconds and 16 seconds and you forget to clip them? Oh, maybe. I don't know. The one is the long one. What's the long one? Well, yeah, the long one is the king.

Starting point is 03:11:29 I'm playing with dialect on the AI, and so this one probably won't win, because I don't know why it's 16 seconds, but you might as well play it. King of England could not do better. How's that 16 seconds? Well, it's- King of England could not do better.

Starting point is 03:11:45 It keeps going. Oh, because I got it. Okay, I didn't kill it. Yeah, that sucks in so many ways. But that's a... I'm playing, I'm playing. I'm using the AI for the benefit of the show. Edit, edit, edit. Well, that was blunder on my part.

Starting point is 03:12:00 Using AI for the... AI is killing all aspects of the show including this segment. No, yes, so Here's the other one juicy. That podcast was juicy. Mmm Okay, okay you win it on that mmm AI sucks and here's John's tip of the day. Okay. Well, this is a food, a foodie, uh, a recommendation. This is, and I don't know why I haven't recommended this before. I looked, I didn't see that I did, but, uh, I'm going to

Starting point is 03:12:45 recommend people as a seasoning, a seasoning liquid smoke and specifically one brand. Are you sure you haven't done liquid smoke before? I think I had but I don't remember doing it and I looked and I couldn't find it. Look it up. Go, you got your bing it.io. I'm going to look it up on my bing it.io. Okay. I'm going to, I'm going to. So the, the brand is you have to look up the brand cause it would be this brand. There's a bunch of different people that liquids make liquid smoke and the one that I prefer and recommend because it never get you can use as much of it as you want never gets bitter. It's a hickory. It's the hickory smoke from Colgen.

Starting point is 03:13:32 It's not normally available except in the south, although you can get it for mail order. It's very popular in the south, but you can't barely find it in the west coast. They have Rites and Stubbs and all these other brands. But Coles and Liquid Smoke, and here's where you'd use it, in spaghetti sauce, it makes it taste like you have smoked tomatoes. Use it in pizza sauce in particular. You'll knock it out of the park.

Starting point is 03:13:58 You can use it in stews, and you can use it as a cheat to make pulled pork in the oven. Hmm. And a lot of people, commercial people have used Colge in particular to make a phony pulled pork that tastes like it was cooked outside, you know, but you just cook it slow and low in the oven. You can cook, you know, put the pork in there for 10 hours or longer and liquid smoke it up and you swear to God it came out,

Starting point is 03:14:27 and it tastes terrific, it's a fabulous product, but I'd recommend it on pizza, pizza sauce in particular. Well, we have not had it as a tip of the day, but we have discussed it previously. So it's valid, it's valid, it's a tip of the day, it's a good tip, liquid smoke, isn't that what you get when you put an iPhone in a blender. Oh no, that's iSmoke. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 03:14:51 Podcast. Oops. Sorry about that. Yes. There you go, everybody. It's John's tip of the day. Find them all at tipoftheday.net. Creative vibes for you and me.
