Hi, I'm Hulk Hogan here at Universal Studios Florida where Adam Curry thought he was taking a break from music videos. However, we're putting him right back into MTV and that stands for Mucho Terrifying Vehicle. Yeah! He'll take the ride of his life in a 600 pound rocket car.

Starting point is 00:03:45 Traveling at roller coaster speed, he'll be catapulted into space, dropping 50 feet on his way to a fiery, frightening crash landing. Are you ready, Rocket Man? Yeah! Mucho! Terrifying! Okay, everybody, let's begin the catacall countdown. Wow, is he okay?

In my rocket car of death. You should post that video. It's very terrifying, John, in my rocket car of death. You should post that video. It's on YouTube.

At least Hulk Hogan will go to heaven. We know that. That's a good, I don't know about Ozzy. You know, all those rock guys, I wonder if

Starting point is 00:05:52 they weren't very faithful. He was always wearing crucifixes. People can, you know, people think that just because. I don't know. Anyway, that is our In Memoriam segment for today's No Agenda Show. No Agenda, not one of the top 100 most influential podcasts according to Time Magazine in history. There's not 10. 10 what? There's not 10. 10 what? There's not 10. I'd say if you name 10 influentials, it's not that easy for me to say, influential podcasts, there's not really 10. Well, they didn't have...

Starting point is 00:06:40 Let alone 100. And the fact that we're not on the list of hundred shows that they don't know what they're talking about This is just one of those lists. I've talked about it before you're an editor. You had a magazine Here we go. You just sit around during lunch and you just throw names out there They didn't have Joe Rogan on the list what? No, that's true. Yes, it's true. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 00:07:17 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you obviously to get some, some input, right? I'm looking at my voicemail. No, these podcasts reflect the depth, breadth and possibility of the medium at its best. And they do have a whole page on how they chose them. With lies. I can assure you. Well the thing is, like, the No Agenda Show transcends all this.

Starting point is 00:07:51 The top 100 best podcasts of all time, that's below us. We are the best podcast in the universe. So no wonder. Well since you have this list in front of you, I didn't even know this was going on of course. Mm-hmm. Please read the list. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 00:08:09 Or at least the top 10. Well, what they did is they have it, well, they have, okay, all. All right, the top 10. Let's see. All. Top 10. Okay. At the top of the list, so they have it by category,

Starting point is 00:08:20 All Comedy and Fiction Sports. I'm going to click All. Okay. The first one, I don't know if it's, if it's a number ranking. The first one is just a pile of podcasts. A pile of podcasts. That's a pile of podcasts. That should be our list.

Starting point is 00:08:40 Here, before you play that, play my clip on podcasting. Oh wait. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I didn't even play my clip on podcasting. Oh wait, uh oh, uh oh, I didn't even see your clip on podcasting. In the UK, that one? Yeah, podcast in the UK. Oh mate, I've found out what's been causing all the noise. It's not good news, I'm afraid. It's not an infestation, is it? You've got podcasters, mate.

Starting point is 00:09:00 I've got podcasters? Who cares about New Beatles music, like, do you know what I mean? Podcasters? Yeah, well, they cast a spell and I... Technical Latin? Yeah, nasty. Scatter, scatter! What is this? Finally it was just them. They swarmed. Look!

Starting point is 00:09:18 It is like you cannot say anything! Jesus Christ, they're everywhere! What am I listening to? You're listening to two guys who have discovered that there's podcasters under the... everywhere in the UK. And they're infestation... it's an infestation. In London, I mean, you're never more than 10 feet away from a podcaster. Don't tell me that, that freaks me out.

Starting point is 00:09:37 But how do you get rid of them? Like, have you got some kind of chemical you can use to exterminate them or something? No, you can't kill them, mate. That's murder. Is it? Technically, they're humans. And if you were a murderer then you get the true crime podcasters in and they're bloody tricky. A shift.

Starting point is 00:09:51 But how do I get rid of them then? I mean what do we use? The thing that podcasters fear the most. What's that? Substance. So the Achilles heel of a podcaster is hard work. You show them a bit of hard work, they're freak out. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:04 Or just spray them with water. Sometimes that does the trick. Bro, what? Bro, what? Bro, what? Alright, back to the list. We could have done without that, I think. It might have looked better on your TikTok video. It did. So the top of the list, just clicking the all all category is the inimitable two dope queens.

Starting point is 00:10:29 I'm sorry what? Two dope queens. I want you to read from the list. I don't know what you're talking about. This is the top one on the list. The podcast. The top podcast according to Time Magazine is two dope queen. Queens. This is the number one on the list. They don't have it by number, they just have them in order.

Starting point is 00:10:49 So two dope queens is the number one you see on their top 100 best podcasts of all time. Have you ever listened to this podcast? No, it's from WNYC Studios in New York, so that means quality. The second one I see on the list is 3430. Now, surely you've heard this podcast. It's a critically acclaimed ESPN documentary series.

Starting point is 00:11:18 No? The next one is... No. Funny, I watched ESPN, I never heard of it. 99% invisible. Now've heard no, it's 3430 to 3430 Yes, 3430. Oh, yeah, they do it. They actually that's actually a TV show. Okay 99% podcast 99% invisible is the next one I see on the list. I've heard of that The next one I see on the list. I've heard of that. The next one is acquired.

Starting point is 00:11:46 Every company has a story. And this is brought to you by- Ooh, that should be really, that should be a grabber. Brought to you by JP Morgan Investments. Nothing, yeah, I can see that one being top. Anyway, I think you get the idea. That's it? No, I mean, there's more.

Starting point is 00:12:02 I mean, okay, the next one is armchair expert. That's D? No, I mean, there's more. I mean, okay. The next one is Armchair Expert. That's Dax Shepard. He's quite famous. He has celebrity guests on like Brad Pitt and Prince Harry. And then Articles of Interest follows that. I've never heard of that one. Bear Brook, a true crime story is next on the list. It's about time.

Starting point is 00:12:31 Anyway, my ex timeline is quite hilarious. Dude, you got robbed. You got robbed. Yeah. You got robbed, man. The money they gave these podcasts to be on the list is outrageous. Well, it's funny you bring that up because I caught a story this morning, hold on a second, about, well not really about podcasters, but more about YouTube channels.

Starting point is 00:12:58 This was quite… And people buying them off? Yeah, no listen to this. If you spend long enough on YouTube, there's now a very good chance that a substantial share of your watch time is going to channels partially or fully owned by private equity. Major firms operating in this space have raised billions of dollars collectively, from companies like Softbank, Amazon, Disney, Goldman Sachs, and Blackstone, and they are using that money to acquire YouTube channels as strategic investments.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Some of these names should be familiar to you. Task and Purpose, Veritasium, Donut Media, Simple History, Fern, Fireship, Economics Explained, Mentor, Pilot, Futurism, Astrum, The Drive, and History Hit have all publicly been acquired by private equity. Outside of the nerd corner of YouTube, some of the biggest names in the space, including Coco Mellon, Colin and Samir, The Theorist and Dude Perfect, have also all partially or completely been acquired. I think we're next. There's our exit strategy, private equity. That's the way to go. I'm surprised shoe on head isn't on the list. You know what they're going to do? Like all private equity, they'd come in, they'd buy us.

Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah, wreck it. They'd buy us. Then they'd sell off the parts. You'd be sold off to China. I don't know where I'd go. They'll sell off the parts of it. And then before you know it, it'll be like, no agenda with Darren O'Neill.

Starting point is 00:14:20 Okay. It's Darren O Larry here everybody. Yep, we're advisors to this private equity fund. Then guess what? Here we are. Pretty amazing. Not quite as amazing as what is in future. I'm on a roll here.

Starting point is 00:14:39 What is in future store for podcasters who think they can say anything. This is of course, referring to the lawsuit against Candace Owens filed by Emmanuel and Bob. The McCrone brothers. Emmanuel and Bob McCrone. Look at that. The McCrone brothers. You stole my punchline. That's better than the one I had.

Starting point is 00:15:06 Jake Tapper talks to the lawyer leading the suit. This is actually mildly interesting. The lawsuit claims that this has been a year long campaign by Candace Owens. Why are the McCrone's suing now? What changed? Why sue now? Why now? Well, this is really a last resort. We have attempted to engage with her for the last year putting evidence in front of her

Starting point is 00:15:29 Request after request after request that she just simply do the right thing This is not doing a legal thing do the right thing tell the truth Stop spreading these lies and each time we've done that she mocked the McCrone's she mocked our efforts to send the wrong brother She refused to You know retract what she had said. She started a merch campaign. She's selling t-shirts mocking and celebrating her defamation. And enough is enough.

Starting point is 00:15:53 It was time to hold her accountable for this campaign. So your lawsuit alleges, quote, every time the Macron's leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications. It is invasive dehumanizing and deeply unjust Some people out there might think really the first couple of France can't leave their home in France

Starting point is 00:16:15 Oh, no worrying that France of all people the gayest of all countries will believe the deranged nonsense from this American podcaster. Yeah countries. People believe the deranged nonsense from this American podcaster. Yeah. What people don't really understand. Hold on a second. Who does Tapper think he is here? What kind of reporting is that? It's great reporting.

Starting point is 00:16:33 Come on. This is the stuff we live for. A deranged podcaster. Exactly. Really? The first couple of France can't leave their home in France without worrying that people believe the deranged nonsense from this American podcaster. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:50 What people don't really understand, and a lot of people can go on TV and talk about the president, talk about the first lady, pundits can get on and talk about them. But what people forget is these are human beings. These are a married couple. They have a social life. They have a private life together, they have the same feelings and the same hurt from these sorts of defamatory statements as anybody would. And it does have a material impact on them.

Starting point is 00:17:14 It's incredibly upsetting to have this said year after year. And this sort of falsehood is a cancer. It metastasizes into obviously the media, but it also metastasizes into other circles that they're running. Podcasts. They get asked about it, of course, even in the circles that they run in. They get asked about these campaigns and they shouldn't have to go through that. Hey, can I ask you about, Brigitte, can I ask you about this campaign?

Starting point is 00:17:37 Can you show me, do you have a rod? Is it rod or no rod? Tell us what's going on. Now there is some wisdom in here. And we have been very careful, you in particular, because there are certain things that just aren't protected under free speech in the United States. After we put facts and information in front of her, black and white, multiple times. What? Like the first lady's birth certificate? What kind of facts? We know what we want. We know the way you can prove it is real simple.

Starting point is 00:18:05 What kind of fact? Yeah, we have laid out extensive evidence in our complaint demonstrating that she was born a woman, she's always been a woman, and the allegations of CIA control conspiracy and incest and all the other things. If Candace did go pretty far with the MKUltra stuff. Are demonstrably false. Putting aside the fact that they are all inherently implausible what you said at the outset is obviously really important in our system If you're making an inherently implausible Allegation the standard is higher you have to come forward with better evidence if you're gonna say it

Starting point is 00:18:37 She has none of it all she's done is mocked them and ridiculed them and repeated it Yeah And of course this now hits home as well because you know, you got to be careful what you say about big Mike. There are a bunch of these hate mongers out there. They've been saying the same thing about Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States. Do you think she should sue? Well, I haven't looked. I haven't looked at her claim, but I believe that everybody has a right to their reputation. And I think our constitution makes that very clear. Defamation is not protected by the First Amendment.

Starting point is 00:19:07 And if it's impacting Michelle Obama or anybody else, they have a right to access our court system and have a trial. In our system, that's the way we determine truth or falsity. We do it in court, we do it with rules, we do it with legal standards, and it's a place where evidence matters. And that's why we've taken Candace to court where we can actually have a trial on the truth. She's doubling down on this, which is pretty amazing.

Starting point is 00:19:27 Well, there's one reason she's doubling down, which I'm sure Tapper didn't mention. Ratings, viewers, money? Two court cases in France. They sued two different journalists and they lost. Oh, did they now? Yeah. Was it on the same grounds? Pretty much. But again on the same grounds?

Starting point is 00:19:45 Pretty much, but again, the way they handle defamation in France may be different. You have to ask yourself, how is this defamation? Well, it's mean. It's definitely mean. It's definitely mean. It's mean. Well, I mean the same way that Alex Jones defamed the parents of Sandy Hook. And this is actually the guy who did that case. You're asking for punitive damages. How much money do you want? Do you want her to... No, wait. No, I think he was the... he wasn't Alex.

Starting point is 00:20:20 He was the Fox News Dominion voting machine case. Who apologized? Well, we'd love an apology, of course. A court can't order her to apologize, and based on her conduct, especially today, we don't expect her to do anything other than double down. We'll put forward our damage claim at trial, but if she continues to double down between now and the time of trial, it'll be a substantial award. Well, can you give me an idea?

Starting point is 00:20:43 The last time you were involved in something, the settlement was $787.5 million. That was Fox News for their many, many lies. Fox News about Dominion software. Lies. Fox News. But are you looking for that kind of settlement? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:00 She doesn't have $787.5 million. Well, you look at what happened with Alex Jones, and there are signi- Juries understand, juries understand that there is an inherently large value to somebody's reputation. And if you're gonna say these vile things, and if you're gonna repeat them to a significant audience, as she has, she has over 5 million followers. And her lies have metastasized into actual publications. So we see other publications that pick up on it, and they report on it. And when you ask them, when we reached out to them and say, what's your basis for this?

Starting point is 00:21:26 They point back to her. Yeah. Candace Owens, the voice of truth. Well, I'm sure she also got the material from the French journalists. Yes. She's not going to drain this up out of the blue. I think she got a lot of it from the French cases. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:40 And so she's just, you know, but even just being sued, they just throw it back at them. But even being sued is a costly affair. It's it's annoying Yeah, but it depends on the value of the publicity hmm How do you determine that value? if well, yeah, if I Don't interest in being sued so I don't care I'm not interested in being sued, so I don't care. But can we now sue listeners?

Starting point is 00:22:07 It's also a pain in the ass. Can we sue listeners over defamation? We should... You suck! Yeah, yeah. I'm suing you! We've got your troll name. We'll find you. We'll hunt you down. Yeah. Well, nothing is as funny as that. That troll name.

Starting point is 00:22:27 Yes, the defendants goes by troll name, BlueDeuce33. BlueDeuce33. Get it right. It's not just any old BlueDeuce. Nothing was funnier this week. It was a lot of funny. Nothing was funnier than President Trump's statement on drug prices. This is amazing.

Starting point is 00:22:49 I mean, you love percentages. Get a load of this. It'll be numbers that nobody can even imagine. We're going to get the drug prices down, not 30 or 40%, which would be great. Not 50 or 60, no. We're going to get them down 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500% numbers that are not even thought to be achievable because they're not because they're not used to the number 1000%. They're going to pay you. That's what's happening here, ladies and gentlemen.

Starting point is 00:23:26 They're going to pay you to get swelling between your genitals and your anus. Yeah, a thousand percent. You drop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty silly. That's great. It's fantastic. It's fantastic. You know, we joke about that, but you remember that, I can't remember the name of the drug that we had on the on the past show. I don't know, what did you take?

Starting point is 00:23:53 No, it's not what I took. With the swelling taint as one of the one of the side effects, a dangerous swelling of the taint. Oh, that's the, when you played the clip, it was the after the side effects, a dangerous swelling of the taint. Oh, that's the, you played the clip, it was the after the side effects clip. Yeah. So, but that seems to be a thing now with all drugs. Listen to this Jardience commercial. I have type two diabetes, but I manage it well.

Starting point is 00:24:19 It's a little pill with a big story to tell. You're gonna swell, swell. I take one steady Jard audience at each day start. As time went on it was easy to see. Ba da da da. I'm lowering my A1C. And for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, Jardians can lower the risk of cardiovascular deaths too. Serious side effects include increased ketones and blood or urine which can be fatal stop Giardians and call your doctor right away if you have nausea vomiting stomach pain tiredness trouble breathing or increased ketones Giardians may cause dehydration that can suddenly worsen kidney function and make you feel dizzy lightheaded or weak upon standing Generally yeast infections in men and women urinary tract infections low blood sugar or a rare life-threatening

Starting point is 00:25:01 bacterial infection between it around the anus and genitals can occur blood sugar or a rare life-threatening bacterial infection between and around the anus and genitals can occur. Hmm. I need to get me some. This is not good. My favorite one is the swelling of the tongue. Call your doctor immediately. Call your doctor.

Starting point is 00:25:14 And I know it's the doctor. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. We're living in a crazy world. Crazy world. So I have a series of clips I wanna get out of the way. Okay.

Starting point is 00:25:30 Because these are the clips from the Jimmy Kimmel show. And this is surprising to me. Wait a minute, you're watching, you are one of the people watching the Jimmy Kimmel show? I did in this case. And I continue to watch, because Kimmel seems to have disappeared and he went to do

Starting point is 00:25:45 Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't think he's gonna do the show. No, wait, wait, wait. He's not been on the show No for how long how I'm I don't know how long it's been But did this when you don't show up on your own show and no one notices. Well Noah's noticed a couple of things and it really surprises me because I think Fox would be all over this because Alan Cummings came on gay as hell Who is Alan Cummings? Alan Cummings is the guy who's in a lot of movies. He plays straight characters, but he's been in movies He's if you took a look at his picture. Just look him up Alan Cummings

Starting point is 00:26:22 You'll recognize him immediately. Oh, oh I know him he wasn't he in wasn't he James Bond villain? I think he was in that wasn't he a James Bond villain? he was he played the maniac that has something to do with GoldenEye yeah and he's a comedian I didn't realize well he's not oh. Hence he's hosting the show. Makes nothing but sense. I think maybe he thinks he's a comedian, but so he comes out, he's dressed as the gayest flamer but this was, went on. I have short clips. They're all cause I did. Cause I had to cut them down because there was so much hooting and hollering that the audience was so jacked. Yeah. But they're all the timing. Look at the time. Except for one.

Starting point is 00:27:17 15 seconds, 10 seconds. All right. Good. Good. And they're, then they're short because they're also worth commenting on each one. He comes out and just rails against Trump, rails against everything. He represents the Democratic Party, goes on and on about how queers should be respected more and on and on and on. It was horrible.

Starting point is 00:27:42 And nobody at Fox picked this up, noticing that Kimmel went to do what, who wants to be a millionaire? He's that's where he's a host of now. And, uh, and then the second, then the next day, this, this lesbian becomes the host. Of, of who wants to be a millionaire? No, of Kimmel, the Kimmel show. Kimmel's on who wants to be a millionaire? No, of Kimmel. Of the Kimmel Show. Kimmel's on who wants to be a millionaire. That's where he's gone.

Starting point is 00:28:07 You said the next day this lesbian becomes the host. Yeah, the next day the lesbian comes on the Kimmel Show to do her thing and she's actually and she comes out as she's a diesel dyke, to use the term advisedly. And she comes out in a man suit and she looks a little like Colm Meaney, I think is his name, the Irish actor with the curly hair. He looks almost identical to him.

Starting point is 00:28:29 She has a kind of a masculine voice and she does her couple of lesbian jokes, but she's actually good as a host. She could take over the show and I think it would be fine because it would be a real twist. But this is Disney telling, this is Disney telling, this is the Disney corporation telling Trump to screw himself and it does ABC and Disney telling Trump to get screwed and listen to this Cummings clips. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:28:56 Good evening America. I am Alan Cumming, your traitorous host for the evening. And also the first person to host Jimmy Kimmel Live who has never actually appeared on the show as a guest. I know it's weird, right? Yes, they just... Is he Irish? Is that his gig here? He's Irish? He's Scottish. And the giveaway is that he's never appeared on the show. They drug him up saying, look, who can we get the most insulting guy we can to scold the audience, scold the Trump administration.

Starting point is 00:29:28 They never asked me. I feel now that I am a bit like the best man speech at a wedding and I have not been invited to the actual wedding but I will gladly shag the bridesmaids and the groomsmaids. I'll be here all night. wedding but I will gladly shag the bridesmaids and the groomsmaids. I'll be here all night. Now anyway America, how are you doing? How are you doing? I mean, how are you doing aside from being a country that's just reintroduced concentration camps, taking healthcare away from 17 million people to give billionaires a tax cut, and also to finance an armed militia of mass men

Starting point is 00:30:09 that commits heinous assorted kidnapping and crimes against humanity on a daily basis. Aside from all that, are you okay? Lies, I tell you, lies. So far that's, I mean, as long as you have some humor, it's kind of funny. But what was humorous about it? He's just busting. That's for sure. Okay, well let's go on. Let's get a little raunchier.

Starting point is 00:30:34 And talking of masks, man, we have the Fantastic Four with us tonight. The Fantastic Four don't wear masks. Oh, that's right. Yes, the Fantastic Four are not ashamed to show their faces at work because they're trying to do good in the world. Okay, pathetic dig at ice. Alright, okay. Alright, so far. Onward. I think I may be the first person ever to have played Macbeth, Hamlet, and Romeo to have hosted this show. I think I must also be the first ever

Starting point is 00:31:07 Bond villain to host this show. There he is, Bond villain. Yes, I am invincible! And also because of my appearance in the original series of the L-word many years ago, I am certain that I am the first person to ever host this or actually any late night talk show who's been by a lesbian with a strap on Well, we all want that More pegging on the show, please. Yes. Okay, you're going downhill better better pull up on this

Starting point is 00:31:41 Yes, no, it's getting better. Okay. I know you didn't hear that at home America. Read my lips. And don't knock until you've tried it, alright? Ironically, a rim shot. Thank you. Okay. Come on. That was funny. I'll give him that. A rim shot. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:32:04 Guillermo knows what I'm talking about. Don't you, Grandma? Yeah, a little bit. Just a little bit. Just a tip. Well, this is very typical Hollywood. Doesn't surprise me. That's all they ever think of.

Starting point is 00:32:20 Does he have any pedo jokes in here? Not that I recall. The fact that he did this, this is pretty, considering this is Disney, I think it's fairly lewd. Tonight's show is all about superheroes. Not only are the Fantastic Four here, as I said, some of you may remember me as Nightcrawler from the X-Men franchise. So as these superhero movies are only pretend, but I happen to believe that there are actual superheroes in real life who walk among us.

Starting point is 00:32:53 And these superheroes are called trans people. Give them a cape. Wow. Just like superheroes, trans people are born with something special and magical about them, and they often have to hide what's special and magical about them from other people. Like superheroes, they grow up in a society that doesn't understand them, that makes them the other, and often hates them. Like superheroes, trans people just want the world to be a safer place and they believe we should protect each other and live our lives in peace. Like superheroes,

Starting point is 00:33:31 evil billionaires want to get rid of trans people for no f***ing reason whatsoever. And just like superheroes, trans people are not new. They've been around forever and they're not going anywhere no matter how much this administration tries to make you fear them. Wow. That's kind of unhinged. Funny yet? No, not funny. No, it's just like, okay, you're trying to get some laughs and some applause over trans people.

Starting point is 00:34:04 They've got that applause sign going on and off. Obviously, obviously. But the audience is appreciative. They stood in line for two hours for free tickets. They'll clap and cheer for anything. Okay, on next one. There is no evidence that trans people are a threat to women. There is, however, ample evidence that the President of the United States publicly brags about barging into beauty pageants, dressing rooms,

Starting point is 00:34:29 and grabbing women by their p***s. Wake up America! And go home. He's so brave. He's so brave. You were so good. You were so brave. Speaking truth to power was fabulous. There is no evidence that trans people are a threat. I'm sorry. Number eight. Did I get them all? Did I get number six? Did you do seven?

Starting point is 00:34:51 I think I missed six. Let me see. There is no evidence. That's six. Yes, seven's up. Seven. Millions of Americans are obsessed with this idea that trans people are attacking women in bathrooms.

Starting point is 00:35:03 Do you know what trans people do in the bathroom? They poop and they pee. And I'm sure they always wash their hands afterwards. And why on earth, this is what gets me, why on earth would a rapist go to the border- A rapist? Pretending to be trans in a country that actually treats rapists better than trans people? What? I didn't understand that one. Why would a rapist, which would be a trans, you know, the dude that happened in Virginia, I think, where the,

Starting point is 00:35:34 you know, trans supposed to do is a rapist became a big fuss in some city council meeting. I must have missed this. And he's saying, why would a rapist do this? It doesn't make any sense to him. And especially in a country where rapists are treated better than trans people. Oh, I see. I got you.

Starting point is 00:35:55 Now, this is depressing. This is the last legs of late night. Yeah, it really is. Definitely. Yeah, what really is. Definitely. Yeah, what else is he going to do? Number eight sounded like a lot like number six.

Starting point is 00:36:09 How dare this president make random unfounded accusations of sexual criminality against trans people when he was literally ordered to pay $83 million to a woman who accused him of sexual assault? It's the pot calling the kettle black after trying to grab its handle in the changing room of a TJ Maxx. Oh, we spent hours in the writers room on that one.

Starting point is 00:36:31 These people are far more likely to be victims of sexual assault or violence than be the perpetrators. Now I know that some of you don't want to look at trans people, but please, America, at least force yourself to look at the facts. There is no epidemic of attacks being committed by trans people. But do you know how many people are killed every year by gun violence in this country? Over 46,000. And you're worried about pronouns? Everyone in this country's pronouns should be gun and

Starting point is 00:37:00 control. Oh, okay. Most of those are suicide and it's probably after watching that monologue. Ha ha! Well... My goodness. Well, that's depressing. And this was not picked up by Fox at all or anybody. Well, I don't know. I mean, I don't care. I mean, by Gutfeld specifically is what you're saying. You expected Gutfeld to do a bit on this. Well, I would think Gutfeld would have done a bit on it.

Starting point is 00:37:27 He's shooting inside the tent, man. He's part of the late night brotherhood. It must be. So we did not, the one I wanted is Fortune Femster, which I have down as Gortchen, but you spelled Fortune with a G. Yes. You can go find that.

Starting point is 00:37:41 Yeah, I got it. This is the next night and she comes out. Now she's actually pretty decent. This is the diesel dyke you were talking it. This is the next night and she comes out. Now she's actually pretty decent. This is the diesel dyke you were talking about? This is the diesel dyke who comes out. And here's her opening so we get a clue what's going on at Disney. Welcome to Jimmy Kimmel Live. I'm your guest host, Fortune Feimster.

Starting point is 00:38:03 And to answer the question on all your minds, yes, I do have a softball game after this. I am so excited to be hosting the show. I will be here for the next three nights. At least I think I will. This morning, the President of the United States posted, the word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is next to go in the untalented late night sweepstakes. Well, I'm just wondering if the President cancels his show, does the guest host still get paid? You know Guillermo? I know I'm getting paid. I don't know about you. Don't rub it in. Maybe. And am I in trouble if Jimmy's show gets canceled while I'm

Starting point is 00:38:57 hosting? Hey, thanks for letting me cat sit. Oh, also, your cat's dead. And just a little fact check. Jimmy Kimmel is not the next to go. Girl, he already went like a month ago. He is doing streams at Six Flags right now. Just wait until the president finds out that Jimmy hired a substitute lesbian Yeah, you know it makes no sense that he wouldn't be on the show during this time I Think the word came down Came down the shows over

Starting point is 00:39:37 hmm And so they said okay if it's over do how much time do we have left? We're gonna give you another month. Okay. Well, I'm going to put every offensive person I can as a coho, as a substitute host, and I think it's going to continue for the next week or two. That's going to be, I mean, she'll do three shows. She's good though. She's actually reason, she, her material did not stay on Trump. It became kind of generalized fun.

Starting point is 00:40:01 She's a real standup. She's not like a Alan Cumming, who is an actor. He's not a funny guy at all. And she actually could do this show. I think it would actually increase ratings. Here's an overview of the late night situation. With his show canceled next spring, Stephen Colbert says the gloves are coming off towards President Trump. I don't care for him. Laughter for that, but then stronger language. Go f*** yourself.

Starting point is 00:40:34 That got a roar from his audience. Among those who dropped by in solidarity, talk show rivals Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, plus John Oliver and John Stewart. On his own show, Stewart questioned whether the cancellation was for purely financial reasons. Was this purely financial? Stewart says liberal institutions are under assault in some cases caving in. He noted Columbia University changed policies under pressure from Trump.

Starting point is 00:41:00 Public broadcasting saw funding slashed by Congress also to please Trump. Disney, the parent company of ABC, and Paramount, the parent of CBS, have settled lawsuits filed by Trump. Trump believes he has immunity as long as he remains a petty tyrant, demanding only liberal institutions surrender to his whims. Canadian-American political commentator David Frum wrote recently, the information landscape is being reshaped and Trump is abusing the powers of the state to hasten the reshaping in ways favorable to him. There is resistance among protesters

Starting point is 00:41:34 outside Colbert's theater. To stand up and to refuse to accept the censorship of voices of dissent. He's got a year and hopefully he'll burn Trump to the ground by then. Colbert hints he's not done yet. They made one mistake. They left me alive. You know, it's over. It's over because this is just the end of the boomer era. And I had an experience yesterday where I witnessed that myself. I did a talk at the

Starting point is 00:42:08 Patriot Academy here in Fredericksburg. The Patriot was actually very cool. They educate young people. I think the oldest is probably 25, how to be white Christian nationalist militia. There you go. So what are you going to do when you do a talk? You talk about stuff you know about, which is my life. I got to tell you, John, every single reference I had to anybody, including Stephen Colbert, went over their heads. Over their heads. Elvis, Elvis.

Starting point is 00:42:38 They didn't even know who Elvis was. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking of referencing Spanky and R Gang on the show. And so in a way, podcasting is fantastic because we can still find the stray boomers out there. They're out there. And the elderly Gen X's.

Starting point is 00:42:57 I mean, literally the kids come up like, hey, my dad loves you. My mom loves you. Yeah. That's the humiliating part of it. Although I did get two beautiful ones. Hey, I love your vanity call sign, but you're just a general, I'm an extra. There were a couple of ham kids there. That was nice.

Starting point is 00:43:19 Ooh, an extra. Yeah, extra, a kid who was an extra. Telling you to screw yourself. An extra. Yeah, I was quite humbling. Of course, they were born just around the time podcasting came into existence. They never saw videos on MTV. They were polite and attentive, but I just saw it. It's like, wow, they have no clue. Rogan. Yeah, it you're the guy from Rogan okay and and even that was barely barely yeah yeah yeah that's about right yeah

Starting point is 00:43:54 so I think I've entered boomer to him whether I like it or not you do you drag me in kicking and string and You labeled me a boomer. You were a boomer basically by the year you were born. It's got nothing to do with me. All my boomer friends, like Ozzy and Hulk, are dying. Dolly Parton song. All my boomer friends.

Starting point is 00:44:22 Well, the late night thing is over. Yeah. And these are just last gasps. Yeah. They're kind of amusing. They don't have an audience at all. I mean, like I said before, Carson had averaged 17 million and got up at as high as 45 million. And these guys are getting one or two million.

Starting point is 00:44:37 And they're wondering why they're all, ooh, and they're singing the blues. And even that segment that they'd mentioned that last clip of yours where they said that all these people were in the audience they came to support Colbert those are all pre-taped it was bull crap there was nobody famous in the audience oh no I know that was taped in totally different locations even yeah it doesn't even look like the right, yeah, the whole thing was lit weird and the whole thing is phony, it's fake. Yes, fake. Fake and gay.

Starting point is 00:45:07 It's fake and gay. And, uh... G-H-E-Y for all of our LG. But the way this is headed, and Kimmel's next, and then Fallon may, you know, they may keep it on, NBC's Die Hard's, they're the ones that invented the format back in 1953 or 1954, one of the two. Uh, and it's been, you know, essentially, uh, it's peak it's long gone. It's no good anymore. It's over. It's over. They just can't seem to get the body.

Starting point is 00:45:39 But that's not what's really happening. What's happening is the president is using his power, the power of the power of the office of the president of the United States to silence critics and to shut down the media, even the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, the White House says it will remove the Wall Street Journal from the small group of reporters who will be traveling with President Trump on his trip to Scotland later this month. The president is suing the paper over a report that he gave Epstein a suggestive birthday letter more than 20 years ago. They should have Cummings there in Scotland to welcome him.

Starting point is 00:46:12 Cummings. He's the only Cummings, he's not Cummings. Well that leads us into... This is like, it's what you do. If you're the president, all the presidents have done this. They ban one guy or another, you know, it's like, it's a privilege to get on the plane and get a free ride. You can go over there yourself. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:46:32 Wall Street Journal's not gonna pick up the tab on that. No, no. How about Lenny, Lenny Bruce? Lenny Bruce got, they threw him in jail. Yeah, they did. More than once and mostly for his act in San Francisco. San Francisco is the one that really threw him in jail. Yeah, the most liberal place you'd expect it not to happen. So we're just being inundated. Tulsi Gabbard, who I do think is brave for what she's doing, but she has no game.

Starting point is 00:47:07 She's not explaining it right. She's not accusing properly. No, I have to play Bannon's clip. Bannon's clip. Hold on a second. Because he talks about this. Do I have it? I see Brennan.

Starting point is 00:47:22 No, you know, Gabbard. It says Bannon. Oh, Gabbard, Bannon, take. I have it? I see Brennan. No, you know, Gabbard. It says, it says, oh, Gabbard, ban and take. I have two clips. Are they the same? No, no. One is two minutes and 32 seconds and one is 115. But it looks like the 232 didn't get cut off where it was supposed to. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:41 Cause I don't go 232. No, about there was send us clips clips. Max should be 159. Yeah. Now, 130 I don't go 232. No. He about to send his clips. Clips max should be 159. Yeah. No, 130. 130 is my max. I try to keep it 130. I try to keep them under a minute, but I will go 150. Good luck. So which one do you want me to play? Well, let's play the, this is the, we'll play the long form and then we can cut it off. The other day, the half-baked story where they dropped it because Tulsi was really- Wait, you don't want it there.

Starting point is 00:48:08 You want it at the beginning. Hold on, let's do this. Another historic day in the briefing room and this is so smart because they're forced to sit there and cover it. Kaitlin Collins and all those smug people are forced to sit there and hear Tulsi Gabbard and that was a command performance today. Her performance has up to now been amazing. President Trump, you heard last night,

Starting point is 00:48:28 we played on the morning show about talking to the members of Congress. It was a command performance, and she's got command presence. She's unflappable, and she's just giving you fact after fact after fact, and to call it a... How about, why not arrest somebody? I'm so tired of, here are the facts.

Starting point is 00:48:47 We're gonna definitely get into that. But to listen to Bannon go on and on, I couldn't even get through it. She's so dull. Coup from the White House press briefing room. Now we've had it from the Oval Office from the President and the Director of DNI. A treasonous conspiracy. Treason and using and calling out Obama by name, calling out Brennan by name, calling

Starting point is 00:49:10 out Comey by name. The stakes don't get any higher folks. I hope you understand that this is an Obama denying it, coming out denying it and all day you should see the meltdown on MSNBC all afternoon with Weissman and these folks in the Wall Street Journal in the Murdochs, as I have warned for years, are true enemies of this movement, true enemies of MAGA, true enemies of the United States, and particularly true enemies of President Trump. Well, as we have said for years, they're Democrats.

Starting point is 00:49:44 They're run by Democrats. You mostly. Yes, run by Democrats. We know that. That's not a surprise. Oh, even if it's true, he drew a picture. Okay.

Starting point is 00:49:56 He's mentioned. Yeah, so is Eric Weinstein. This is, it's so disappointing. Everything is just a disappointment everything Everything well here. Yes Where's the arrest? Somebody you know this go we've been doing this show long enough, and you know I was a former Republican I was a former Democrat. I'm unaffiliated for good reason you were former woman

Starting point is 00:50:25 No, I didn't get that far. Close. But no, not really. But the, I never got a shape. That's the problem. The whole thing. Your feet are too big. I think that's the problem.

Starting point is 00:50:41 That's it. My feet are too big. Feet are way too big. Too wide. Yeah. Is the Republicans are, it's the old rule. They're do nothings. Yeah. That's the do nothing party. Yak, yak, yak. I have, let me play this clip. Well, there's another band. Do you want me to play the other band and take or are we done? Because I'm good if we're done. We'll play the other one. I think it's the same clip.

Starting point is 00:51:04 I think it's the same clip. Another historic day. Oh I think it's the same clip I think another historic day I just same yeah same clip there is the bonus clip well you got to you got to tell me what it was because I just put it in it didn't say bonus on it oh it was the the clip of Brent Brennan testifying before Congress. Oh, on the dossier? This is a very short clip. Yes. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:30 Director Brennan, do you know who commissioned the Steele dossier? I don't. Do you know if the Bureau ever relied on the Steele dossier as part of any court filings, applications? I have no awareness. Did the CIA rely on it? No. Why not?

Starting point is 00:51:47 Because we didn't, it wasn't part of the Hominah hominah. intelligence information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done. It was, it was not. No, that's a lie. Whatever happens.

Starting point is 00:52:05 Yeah, okay. Jesse Waters Show. You're poaching from Jesse Waters again. It was a good version of the clip. The, uh, this was Trey Gowdy who knew the answers in advance of him asking to entrap him. Yes. And they have him on perjury because they have the memos now showing that he knew well all about the throw him in irons They won't do anything

Starting point is 00:52:32 In fact Brian Paul came on that same Jesse water show and said yeah, we've got him cold There's no doubt about it of all the people. In fact, there's a there's a odds list out there That's floating around I could bring it up on the screen if you want to hear them. But they have the odds of who's going to get indicted. And by the way, the odds are out there for everything. 25 to 1 is like the odds that Comeo get indicted. He's at the top of the list. But Brent is number 2 at 25 to 1.

Starting point is 00:53:01 Obama's way down. He's down at 33 to 1. And the rest of them are all ridiculous. The real guilty party here is the M5M because they're the ones who have been complicit with every hoax, every op, I mean, everything just... Do you mind if I play a supercut? I'll tell you, I played the supercut right after I played the other bonus clip, which is the gabbered-on-woppo, which addresses exactly what you said. Question the American people's ability to trust the integrity of our democratic republic. And the reason why that is, and it's similar to the deep state actors who have been trying

Starting point is 00:53:38 to stop us from releasing this, is that we have members of the media who are complicit in this from the very beginning, who were leaked early copies of this, or at least lines from this January 2017 Obama-manufactured intelligence assessment. They printed what they were fed, people like Ellen Nakashima from the Washington Post, who by the way went on to win a Pulitzer Prize because for years she was so good at lying and not telling the truth to the American people that they gave her an award for it. That's what, Tulsi should stay away from that.

Starting point is 00:54:14 That's her mistake. She needs to be just, here's the facts, here's what happened. When she editorializes like that, it weakens her argument like she's some pundit instead of the director of national intelligence. Yeah, that's a good point. Is dumb. And I like her, but this is dumb. So here are the guilty.

Starting point is 00:54:33 These people are the guilty parties in all of this and everything. And luckily, their power is diminishing. They have to bow to the podcasters. Votes were definitely effective. Russia hacked the election to tilt it to Mr. Trump. The Russians definitively hacked the election. Russia did hack the election. No doubt the Russians hacked the election. Yes, Russia hacked the election.

Starting point is 00:54:58 In fact, Russia hacked the election. President-elect Donald Trump still not sounding convinced that Russia hacked the election. The president does not wanna come to terms with the sounding convinced that Russia hacked the election. The president does not want to come to terms with the fact that the Russians hacked the election. President Trump says he still wonders if, if the Russians hacked the election. If you can get him to accept that Russia hacked the election, see if you can get him to accept who won the Civil War. If he admits it, it casts a shadow on his victory over Hillary Clinton. Russia hacked the election. Russia hacked Hillary Clinton. Russia hacked the election.

Starting point is 00:55:25 Russia hacked the election. Russia hacked the election. Russia hacked the election. Let's be clear, Russia hacked the election. Definitively, Russia hacked the election and Russia is doing it again now. Election related cyber hacking. Cyber hacking of US elections. Cyber hacking of the election.

Starting point is 00:55:44 Russia was cyber hacking the election. Russia was cyber hacking the election. The CIA, the FBI, NSA. All of these intelligence organizations, 17 intelligence agencies. All conclude that Russia hacked the election. If we find out that Donald Trump just theoretically was colluding with Russia while they were hacking the election, that is completely impeachable. This dossier alleged a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian effort to hack the election. The director of national intelligence, the head of the national security agency, the head of the FBI, all of these intelligence experts saying Russia hacked the election.

Starting point is 00:56:23 The FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the former director of national intelligence, James Clapper. I mean, they've all said this. So to believe that that's wrong, you have to believe they're all involved in an elaborate conspiracy to get Donald Trump, which seems a little far-fetched. You notice how there's all these incredible viruses, computer viruses, SharePoint now is this completely hacked, you know, snowflake, all of these things. But the cable news networks never go down. You know, someone should hack their election.

Starting point is 00:56:59 I'd love to walk into the studio one morning and just see the quad being all black. Even anonymous, just put the anonymous guy in the hoodie up there. Anything. These are the guilty people. These are the people who are siopping the world, America, certainly. And we're still. Yeah, you can hear all the names. You hear Wolf, you heard Tapper, who blew the line. Cold Bear was in there. Yeah, all of them.

Starting point is 00:57:31 All of them. And meanwhile, we're not even the top 100 best and most influential podcasts of all time. Nobody will be arrested. We should be arrested for that list. I don't want to pull it to anymore either. You can tell them no. No, it's the Peabody that we're going for. By the way, producer Robert emailed President Trump endorsing me for the Presidential Medal of Freedom for being the founder of podcasting. And he got a response. With the auto pen.

Starting point is 00:57:56 Yes. Dear Mr. Basso, thank you for your letter and sharing your views. Wow, that's sincere. The strength of our country lies in the spirit of the American people and their willingness to stay informed and get involved. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. For the latest information about my administration's policy initiatives, visit the White House at WhiteHouse.gov. Melania joins me in sending our best wishes to you and your family, sincerely, President

Starting point is 00:58:23 Trump. So, I guess I'm not on the list for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But things have gotten so bad here in Fredericksburg. Oh, here we go. Because what happens when the news just spins people up? Because that's what it is. I mean, you can't open Google News.

Starting point is 00:58:45 You can't turn on anything. You can't look at anything without all of this being thrown in your face, slapping you in the face like a wet salmon. And so now... I got a note from at least two Dutch listeners that say that no one has ever said that in Holland. Well, they're not Dutch. They're fake Dutch. It may be a macro now to think about it. has ever said that in Holland? Well, they're not Dutch. They're fake Dutch.

Starting point is 00:59:11 It may be a mackerel, now that I think about it, but I like salmon better. So Tina had her women's Bible study this morning and she comes home, she says, listen to this. And this kid, this was serious. And they had videos to back it up. In August, there will be five days of darkness. The country will shut down. The internet will not work. Everything will come to a grinding halt. Five days of darkness in August. Oh yeah, it's happening.

Starting point is 00:59:40 It's happening. Yeah, it's happening. I'm worried sick. And if you go online right now, you'll see it. You'll see people, oh yes, no, this is, it's happening. It's happening. Five days of darkness. I didn't get a clip of it, but there's something going on in September. They're going to have Blackout. Blackout.

Starting point is 00:59:57 You heard about this? No, I thought that was, that was August. Now it's in September. No, no, that, no, Blackout is different. This is from black people. Oh, blackout. Oh, no, what's the blackout about? They're going to start, they're going to,

Starting point is 01:00:09 none of them are going to buy anything. They're not going to go to work. They already tried this before. They tried this last year. They're trying it again. They tried it last year. They're going to shut down the country. It's a general strike.

Starting point is 01:00:18 Okay. I think it's the 17th of September. Who is pushing this nonsense? Who knows? They're just, they're definitely taking, just throwing spaghetti toward the wall. On top of everything, out of the blue comes a dude I've never heard of, and I'm sure lots of people have, the Channel 5 guy. Oh yeah, the Channel 5 guy, Gillespie.

Starting point is 01:00:44 Have you seen him before? I'd never seen him before. He was new to me. I've never seen him before, but I have to say this. You're talking about he did the interview with... Three hour podcast with Hunter. Right. Outside. Now the thing about it, people should note, it was a three camera shoot. It was not a slouch job. No, it was not. Everybody, him and Hunter, outside were extremely well-liked. And well-lit too. There was extra lighting. There was definitely lighting and it was slick.

Starting point is 01:01:19 Other news today. Hunter Biden is speaking out in an expletive-filled interview that some are calling unhinged, and among his targets, George Clooney, who famously went public about former President Biden's cognitive decline. ... him, f*** him and everybody around him. It's a bleep fest as Hunter Biden goes after George Clooney. George Clooney is not a f***ing actor. He is a f***ing a like, I don't know what it is. The troubled former first son is clearly still holding a major grudge over Clooney's 2024 New York Times op-ed urging Joe Biden to quit the presidential race. What do you have to do with anything? Why do I have to listen to you? What right do

Starting point is 01:02:02 you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his life to the service of this country? That was unhinged. And I don't think anyone wants to... Hunter's rant is leaving many flabbergasted. It's incredibly disturbing to watch. It's just foul-mouthed rants after foul-mouthed rants. He also lashed out at President Trump.

Starting point is 01:02:20 He's a dictator thug. Slamming the president for deporting undocumented migrants. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you got food on your f***ing table? I love this elitist take. By the way, this is the only clip I have of it. Yours is better because it's bleeped. I have the dirty version, which I don't want to play.

Starting point is 01:02:44 Absolutely. This is the most elitist thing you could possibly say. Who's going to clean your bathrooms? Who's going to pick your vegetables? Who's going to mow your lawn? Documented migrants. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f**king table?

Starting point is 01:03:01 Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your f**king garden? Who washes your dishes who do you think does your garden who washes your dishes John I wash my own dishes I have a dishwasher you take a dirty dish you put in the dishwasher you close the door you put the timer on it gets cleaned I don't have a migrant doing my dishes who's he talking about convinced all of us that these people are the white house today criminals? The White House today is hitting back on social media. A Border Patrol agent was just shot in the face by two criminal illegal aliens that Joe Biden led into the country. But Hunter is more concerned about who is going to clean up his hotel room after his benders.

Starting point is 01:03:40 Hunter is also giving a new explanation for his father's disastrous debate performance that ended his campaign for re-election. He claims the former president was under the influence of sleeping pills. He's 81 years old, he's tired as f**k. You give him ambient to be able to sleep, he gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in headlights. All of this, all of this, all of this is just to keep us distracted, running around, yelling at each other. You know, I went to Glenn Beck on Tuesday. Well before you leave that clip and talk about Beck, I will say I was watching Gutfeld and Tyrus had the best analysis of, I have to say, I would cut everybody off guard including Gutfeld. Tyrus had the best

Starting point is 01:04:32 analysis of that particular interview where he said it wasn't really a distraction. The whole thing was designed to back up his dad so they don't pull the pardon away saying that he was incompetent and the auto pen pardoned Hunter and Hunter would lose his pardon. So he has to do everything he can to defend the old man to make it sound like, no, he was fine. No, that makes sense. And it makes nothing but sense because yeah,

Starting point is 01:05:00 because if Hunter loses that pardon, he could get into a lot of trouble. Yeah, that makes sense. Well, what I was going to say about Beck, I went up and did his show, which was fun. Yeah, how'd it go? I didn't see it. Yeah. No, it hasn't aired yet. I think it airs this week. Well, that's why I didn't see it.

Starting point is 01:05:17 Yeah. Like you'd watch. I'd dog that show. Like you'd watch. You wouldn't watch. Oh yeah, I dogged the show. Turns out, this is my third time, he says, I've never had anyone on three times.

Starting point is 01:05:30 I'm like, wow. Said, is that a job offer? No, no. You're just the Regis Philbin of Glenn Beck now. And as we're talking- I find that hard to believe. What? Well, Beck's been on the air for 20 years.

Starting point is 01:05:49 He's never had anybody on more than three times. On his podcast. This wasn't the radio show. Oh, the podcast wasn't the radio show. Yes, the podcast. He's my age. I didn't know it, he's 61, but the same age. He said that he talked to President Trump

Starting point is 01:06:07 because President Trump was very mad, very mad at him. For what? I guess he didn't just do as told and stop talking about Epstein. Oh, yeah. So Trump called him. We can see that. And he said, but in the conversation, he said that Trump said, I don't care about any of this. I'm here to do the things I promised to do

Starting point is 01:06:29 and I will do them and I will do them all the way until a bitter end. And he said, I don't care about anything. But that seems kind of hard to believe because I think he really does care. And Beck also agrees with me that the president does not have his finger on the pulse of the nation. He didn't have it on the vaccines and this he totally just misjudged this.

Starting point is 01:06:52 And now he's got Tulsi out there clearly not trying to get people indicted or arrested. Just telling stories and going up there with Levitt. But who cares? and going up there with Levitt. But who cares? That's just to feed the machine. Nothing's happening. That's what's so disappointing. In 17 and a half years of the show, exactly zero things-

Starting point is 01:07:14 Noah's been arrested. Exactly zero people have been arrested. Nothing has happened. The sealed indictments were never opened. Oh, we forgot about that. Joe DiGenova. Nothing, nothing. 10,000 sealed indictments. Nothing, nothing, nothing ever happened. And by the way, Joe DiGenova, that was the best of the group. Yeah. Tomorrow. And of course know now we get the news. Wednesday a

Starting point is 01:07:46 federal judge denied a DOJ request to unseal grand jury transcripts from the investigation into Epstein. I understand there are two other requests from the Department of Justice that are ongoing but I'll let this president speak to whether he wants to see an appeal. House Speaker Mike Johnson is sending lawmakers for an early summer recess, rather than hold votes on releasing all of the Epstein documents. No one in Congress is blocking Epstein documents.

Starting point is 01:08:12 No one in Congress is doing that. Johnson accused Democrats of engaging in a political charade, but many of the questions are coming from the right. The American people want answers. The House Oversight Committee passed a motion to subpoena Epstein's co-conspirator and convicted sex trafficker,

Starting point is 01:08:28 Ghislaine Maxwell to appear for a deposition. Yeah, okay. So again, nothing's gonna happen. Nothing's gonna come out. It's almost like, hey, what can we give the podcasters? Ah, yeah, we'll give them this. Podcast. So I actually got a decent overview, three clips, reasonable length from CBN that kind

Starting point is 01:08:51 of lay it out with reasonable facts. Just here's what's going on. So we can get it kind of, it's not as sensationalized as every other news outlet. Although news during Donald Trump's second term. Of course, the read is sensational, but that, but that's what you do on cable. Although news during Donald Trump's second term has been coming fast and furious, this latest bombshell is downright startling. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassifying documents

Starting point is 01:09:18 showing what she labels overwhelming evidence of former President Barack Obama and his national security team basically creating intelligence about Russia attempting to influence the 2016 election. There's no question in my mind that this intelligence community assessment that President Obama ordered be published which contained a manufactured intelligence document. It's worse than even politicization of intelligence. It was manufactured intelligence document. It's worse than even politicization of intelligence. It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama

Starting point is 01:09:51 and his team's objective, which was undermining President Trump's presidency and subverting the will of the American people. Gabbard called the act treasonous conspiracy. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is troubled too. Oh yes, let's bring in Mike Johnson. He's very, very troubling. I'm the Cheshire cat.

Starting point is 01:10:08 Well, I don't know how to summarize it by way of description in a snappy phrase, but I will tell you it is deeply problematic. What? He recognized it. Deeply problem as deeply deep deep deep. No, does he do snappy phrases? I've never heard that. Let me listen.

Starting point is 01:10:23 Snappy phrase? What was the snappy phrase? I've never heard that. Listen, snappy phrase? What was the snappy phrase? That's what he says. He says, I can't do a snappy phrase as if he does snappy phrases. I guess he's saying he doesn't. Well, I don't know how to summarize it in by way of description and a snappy phrase, but I will tell you it is deeply problematic. This was the meeting.

Starting point is 01:10:41 Tulsi, you got to get it together. Use a snappy phrase, you know? We need something. Snappy phrase. We need something to lock her up, you know? We need something that everybody can start chanting. I think that's literally the meeting that they had. We need a snappy phrase.

Starting point is 01:10:55 It's hard to sum it up. And Tulsi's not doing a good job at getting it. Recognize that the people who are being called out now were involved in a scheme. We knew that it was a shameless, false set of accusations. And yet, they perpetuated the lie on the American people and they looked right into the camera and just lied, clearly.

Starting point is 01:11:14 And they knew what they were up to the whole time. So there must be accountability for that. Well, who's he talking about? Because that was the news media that looked into the camera and lied. You say there must be accountability. The DOJ will work on the criminal aspect of this. What's the role of the House here specifically? I mean, people want to see subpoenas, they

Starting point is 01:11:31 want to see depositions, they want to see whether it be Brennan, Clapper, potentially the former President of the United States. Are you willing to go down that route? Because a lot of people want to see some of these folks questioned under oath. Of course. Look, I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth where it leads. Follow the truth. And I do expect that whether there's a special counsel appointed, which some are suggesting, and or in conjunction with the House investigations, that we will get the answers and there will be accountability to the extent that we're able to do that, referring people to the DOJ for prosecution and any other measure that

Starting point is 01:12:04 is appropriate as we begin to uncover more of the facts. Does it get tricky at all with the former president, President Obama, looking at what his role in this is and bringing him in for some sort of deposition, potential subpoena? Well, listen, I mean, I can't, we have no concern about that. If it's uncomfortable for him, he shouldn't have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened. How many sealed indictments there are? More than 100,000.

Starting point is 01:12:28 100,000 sealed indictments. And of course then we wind it up with the Epstein stuff. The other story continuing to make waves? The Epstein files. Democrats and even a few Republicans won a House vote to force the DOJ to release all the Epstein documents. They filed a discharge petition, meaning if 218 members of Congress agree, they can force a vote. The Speaker has some tactical maneuvers to stop it if he so chooses. Are you willing to let them have that vote?

Starting point is 01:12:56 Or procedurally, can you kind of, how do we say this, muck it up a little bit? Well, I think it's a moot point now. I mean, there's no daylight between the House Republicans and the White House on maximum disclosure. The president has said that he wants all credible evidence to come forward, and he's now ordered the grand jury testimony or asked the DOJ and the attorney general to request that of the court, and they have, and will allow the space for all that to play out. And so if there's a role for Congress to play we will but right now we're in full agreement with the

Starting point is 01:13:28 commander-in-chief. So would you allow then or you would not allow the discharge position? The discharge position is a political ploy. The Democrats are playing games with this. You know I I'll let everybody else to determine the motives of everyone involved okay but obviously the Democrats here have shown their hand many times. They want to try to damage the president. They want to go after President Trump.

Starting point is 01:13:52 They want to put speed bumps in the way of all the progress we're making and they see here a political opportunity. Yeah, okay. America is one big machine and we just feed it with garbage and then just turn it around and spew it out over people. And we're the idiots. We have our mouth open. Feed me more. Then we had to stop in the middle of everything yesterday. Stop! Stop!

Starting point is 01:14:18 The guy who knifed four kids to death. He's sentenced. And then we're back. It's all it is. You know, the thing about arresting somebody, they have Brennan cold with lying to Congress. Lying to Congress, yeah. You don't go to jail for that. Like Bannon, two weeks. I don't think so.

Starting point is 01:14:39 You think they're gonna find a sacrificial lamb? And Bannon went for four months, I think. It wasn't two weeks. You know, they're gonna find a sacrificial lamb? Well, Brennan would be a good choice. Yeah, but I don't see it happening. But just don't. No, you asked for a sacrificial lamb.

Starting point is 01:14:54 He would be a good choice, but I agree. I don't think anything's gonna happen because the Republicans do nothing. They're a do-nothing party. Oh, I got an idea. They talk a big game. Wait, wait, wait, wait, I got an idea. Let's release the MLK files. This morning, reaction is pouring in nothing party. Oh, I got an idea. They talk a big game. Wait, wait, wait. I got an idea.

Starting point is 01:15:05 Let's release the MLK files. This morning reaction is pouring in following a Wall Street Journal report that President Trump's name appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files multiple times. Oh, wait a minute. That wasn't the right clip. The Trump administration has released records of the FBI's surveillance of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. FBI records released previously show the bureau wiretapped King's telephone lines, bugged his hotel rooms, and used informants.

Starting point is 01:15:34 King was assassinated in 1968. King's family and the group he led had objected to the release. The records have been under a court-imposed seal since 1977. They were meant to remain sealed until 2027. So the troll room asked the appropriate question. Why are they do nothings? Why does nothing happen? Why do the indictments never get unsealed? Why?

Starting point is 01:16:00 And the answer is, of course, because they're all complicit. All of them. No, it, because they're all complicit. All of them. No, it's because they're gay. They're all complicit. They're all in on it. They're all being blackmailed and you are the dupe. Now, if we just held to that opinion, the show would end as would every other podcast in the universe. So that's why you got to be part of the system would end, as would every other podcast in the universe.

Starting point is 01:16:25 So that's why, you gotta be part of the system. Oh, there's something new. Bob McCrone, ah! And by the way, how many people, I was watching some podcasts, and it's like watching a podcast, which makes no sense. But I'm watching a podcast. And it's just a guy, one guy by himself with a mic who can just endlessly talk.

Starting point is 01:16:49 Yeah. It's pretty good. Soliloquy. It's pretty astonishing to me because they're not saying anything. It's just yak, yak, yak. It's all talking points that have been kind of expanded somehow. Hannity does this. He's like the pro at this. He just can yak away just this. He's like the pro at this. He just can yak away just endlessly. It's like the, if you ever worked with some of these stand in a newsroom or TV news where you had one of these people

Starting point is 01:17:15 that can just get out there and talk as long as you want. Yak casting. And you have to look for the openings to get them to stop. They can literally stand there and talk about a car crash behind them for as long as you want them to talk. Yak casting. Yak casting.

Starting point is 01:17:30 It's unbelievable. Well, and when you think about that and what we're consuming, I have to doubt this report from ABC. To the index, a new study tonight finds the pandemic may have aged our brains. That explains it. Whether you had COVID or not, they say. Researchers say brain scans actually show COVID. Did he just say whether you like COVID or not?

Starting point is 01:17:51 Hold on a second, what did he just say here? Aged our brains. That explains it. Whether you had COVID or not, they say. Researchers say. Whether you like COVID or not? No, whether you had COVID or not. Oh, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:18:02 That explains it. Whether you had COVID or not, they say. Researchers say brain scans actually show COVID. The stress involved may have sped up brain aging by more than five months during that period. They believe it's reversible with exercise, diet, and of course, skin and douche. Oh, diet. Exercise and diet.

Starting point is 01:18:17 Well, there's a lot now about- Stop drinking. There's a lot about technology in the news today. As there's new studies, new reports, NBC Today, the doctor comes in, she explains it, what we all knew to be true and was not surprising, but now science confirms it. Now, GMA Health Alert on children and smartphones.

Starting point is 01:18:40 A new study out overnight finding a link between kids who use them at a younger age and worse mental health outcomes when they become adults. Oh, our chief medical correspondent, Dr. Tara Nerula is here with us. I don't think this is too surprising for some folks. So what are the findings here? This is a topic that so many parents like myself,

Starting point is 01:18:57 I have a nine-year-old and a 12-year-old are dealing with as our kids are using phones for education, socialization, and all kinds of reasons, and asking when can I get a phone, getting them at younger and younger ages. Unfortunately for education, socialization, and all kinds of reasons and asking, when can I get a phone? Socialization. Getting them at younger and younger ages. Unfortunately, with this socialization. Socialization, don't you, I don't know.

Starting point is 01:19:13 How do you socialize with one of those stupid phones? On social media, that's how you socialize on social media. That's how you socialize, it's faux, F-A-U-X socialization. Correct. Get a phone, getting them at younger and younger ages. Unfortunately, with this social experiment that we are conducting, we're now realizing that there may be long-term health impacts. Social experiment?

Starting point is 01:19:34 Well, she means that in a... Not in a true... She means it in a... Yeah. I don't know how she means it. Ironic? Yeah, ironic. She means it ironically.

Starting point is 01:19:45 That we are conducting, we're now realizing that there may be long-term health impacts from research. So this research study looked at a hundred and thousand individuals who they surveyed who were 18 to 24 years old. They asked them, when did you get a smartphone? And they asked them about a whole host of mental health symptoms. And they found that those who had a smart phone before the age of 13 had worse mental health outcomes.

Starting point is 01:20:06 And by that we mean they reported more suicidal thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings of detachment from reality and hallucinations. When they looked specifically at both genders... Yeah, hallucinations. Isn't that great? But listen to the numbers. Suicidal thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings of detachment from reality and hallucinations. When they look specifically at both genders, both reported... Whoa, hold on a second. Doctor, both genders?

Starting point is 01:20:35 That makes it sound like it's a binary. But there's a hundred genders, so I don't know. A least minimum. Yeah, I'm not... Suicidal thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings of detachment from reality and hallucinations. gender so I don't know. These minimum. Yeah. I'm not. ...sidle thoughts, more feelings of aggression, more feelings of detachment from reality and hallucinations. When they looked specifically at both genders, both reported decreased self-worth and self-image.

Starting point is 01:20:54 Girls decreases in emotional resilience and also in their lower confidence. And boys, they reported less calmness, less stability, and a decrease in empathy. Once Pacific statistics, so 48% of girls who got their phone before the age of 13 around age 5 or 6 reported suicidal thoughts as opposed to 28% who got it over the age of 13. Oh, well 13 is fine. It's only 28%. 28%. That's shocking by itself.

Starting point is 01:21:27 What drove this Robin, well not surprisingly, social media was a big factor in a lot of this as was poor sleep, deterioration in family relationships, and cyberbullying. So a lot of issues around giving phones to kids under 13. Yeah, you're connected on the phone but you're not connected in person to your family. That seems like- You're not connected. You're not connected. What is the takeaway, doctor? What do you need to be connected for?

Starting point is 01:21:50 Are you 13, 14, 15, 16, 17? What are you, a doctor? You're on call? Is like a pager? You have to have a phone when you're 17, and you have to be on it all the time because you never know what such Oh something important might be happening in your life. Give me a break

Starting point is 01:22:09 Well, the problem is I think is highlighted here Is when kids see their parents doing this because that's what's that's what's going on here It's the parents the parents the gen x who? Probably reasonably okay with a lot of this, but some are severely addicted just on the phone all the time, at the table, at the breakfast table, everywhere, in the car, all the time. Do you remember the days when you'd go to a restaurant and if somebody pulled out a cell phone, everyone stopped eating?

Starting point is 01:22:41 I would say, put that out. What are you doing? They were scolded. Yeah, I do remember that. That was, I think before social media. That was when, oh, I got a text message or a Blackberry. It kind of crossed the line with Blackberry because when you had a Blackberry, it's like, well, he's clearly doing some important business

Starting point is 01:23:00 because that's a business machine. What's the takeaway for parents with this? What's the takeaway for parents? You're killing your kids is what the takeaway is. What's the takeaway for parents with this? What's the takeaway for parents? You're killing your kids is what the takeaway is. What's the takeaway for parents with this? Well, number one I think is social media. The longer we can push off allowing our kids to be on social media, we are learning the better.

Starting point is 01:23:16 I think lots of families are getting creative. We did a story here, I know Becky Worley, on landlines, right? Landlines! Flip phones for kids may be an option so that they can have access to communicating without all the other things that come with smart phones. Give the kid a landline with a long extension cord. landlines, right? Landlines! Flip phones for kids may be an option so that they can have access to communicating without all the other things that come with smart phones. Give the kid a landline with a long extension cord. The American Academy...

Starting point is 01:23:31 There you go. Good old Becky. She came up with the right solution. Becky, landlines! ...Pediatrics has a whole host of information that families can use, a family media plan, and actually... A family media plan! Oh, we need a media plan in our family. That'll do it.

Starting point is 01:23:46 A family media plan and actually something they call the five C's. So the first C is child... Hold on. Is that anything like the escape plan? You know, you're supposed to have it on a go bag, have a go bag. We need a media plan. How much media can I consume today, Dad? When I was a kid, we got one hour of television a day because it was going to rot your brain. Don't sit too close. It'll rot your brain and ruin your eyes. Ruin your eyes. I remember that one. They call the five C's. So the first C is child. So knowing your child, what are they interested in? Why might they be wanting to use a phone? Are they artistic or musical content?

Starting point is 01:24:22 What kind of apps are they interested in using? And how do we show them how to steer away from negative and inappropriate content? The third C is calm. So finding ways to emotionally regulate that doesn't involve the phones, finding ways to fall asleep at bedtime. The next C has to do with crowding out. You want to make sure it's not crowding out other things like physical activity and homework. And the last is communication.

Starting point is 01:24:42 Open lines of communication with your kids about this. Let my son tell it. He's the only 11 year old in the world who doesn't have a phone, but I'm glad. Mine does not either. No social media, no phone. I'm great, I'm a great parent. So there were 40, 45 kids at this Patriot Academy.

Starting point is 01:25:01 And I'll tell you what the Patriot Academy does. They teach young people typically right before gap year or right out of college, they teach them how the political process works. They've rebuilt Constitution Hall. They show kids how to write a bill, how to get it into committee, how to get it out of committee, how to argue it on the floor. And there in every single state, there's multiple so-called graduates of Patriot Academy. And they also teach them

Starting point is 01:25:31 constitutional defense. Half of these kids all in their early twenties were all strapped. They had big nine millimeters on their belt because they teach it there at the academy. So they're all walking around armed. As a speaker, you're like, man, I better not suck. But not once, not once did I see anyone zone out or go to their phone. It was really impressive. So it's possible. It's possible. But not in most modern homes without a media plan.

Starting point is 01:26:04 What do you think parents can do in order to model healthy behavior when it comes to the phones? So certainly parents putting their phones down at meal times and connecting with their kids eye to eye, having conversations, keeping the phones out of the bedroom, putting on the do not disturb on your phone, and then watching with your kids. I know in my house we have an iPad roll where it stays out of the bedroom for my daughter and she has to log it in and out like a library book. She's only allowed to use it for about an hour and a half each weekend day. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 01:26:31 She has to log in. Show me your papers. Nazi. Right on cue, Metta is on the ball. Metta taking action to protect kids and teens online wiping 135,000 instagram accounts from the app as well as 500,000 Facebook and instagram accounts that were linked to those original ones. All of this action because users behind the accounts were making sexualized and inappropriate comments to

Starting point is 01:26:57 accounts featuring children. Adam Scott want an associate professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice says the move from meta is a step in the right direction. We see constant examples of our youth hurting themselves and others hurting our children in our country because of these behaviors. And it is great that Metta is taking proactive steps in order to address them. Metta has also introduced new safety features, making it easier to block and report accounts and adding protections for Instagram accounts that feature kids but are run by their parents.

Starting point is 01:27:30 Juan stresses that parents and children need to be proactive about their own protection though, with parents getting full access to kids' accounts, talking with their children about what's appropriate, monitoring their chat rooms, and making sure screen time is limited and controlled. And he's calling for more social media apps to take notice of this move for Metta and make their own changes. What do you think hurts kids more in America guns or phones? Oh phones for sure. Yeah, so we need a campaign.

Starting point is 01:28:01 We need a campaign. There is no Second Amendment for phones. No, no, you can't regulate this phones. No, no. You can't regulate this stuff. That's ridiculous. You can't regulate it. By the way, when it comes to AI, there's a new report out and the report is from commonsensemedia.org. Talk, trust and trade-offs.

Starting point is 01:28:20 Now they've been, Common Sense Media has been around for a long time. How and why teens use AI companions? Well, here's the here's the news 72% of teens say they are turning to AI for advice friendship and more And if you have any 2% of what teens of all teens? Yes So we have a million teens and you're telling me seven,000 of them. Yes. I don't believe it Okay. Well, it's statistics. So yeah, I mean lies lies and damn statistics, of course

Starting point is 01:28:55 From the survey 70% and this AI companions. This is not you know, just AI its companion Yes, what that's what makes it so ludicrous. Yes, if you look at the chat GPT app, there's, it has, actually I have it here. I installed it just for this very reason. What was the sound effect you just did? That was my gun falling off.

Starting point is 01:29:17 Is the app some sort of a thing? No, my box? My gun fell on the ground. So it has latest news. Therapy is number two. It has these little, you know, you can kind of pre prompt it by setting the topic and therapy is the second, is the second box you can, you can hit. So they're actively encouraging people to use their AI chat bot for therapy. So how teens use them, 33% for social interaction

Starting point is 01:29:49 and relationships, 18% for conversation, 12% for emotional or mental health support, 12% for role playing or imaginative scenarios. Well, that's gotta be dull. For romantic or flirtatious interactions, 8%. Oh yeah, I want to flirt with the computer. So what AI users use AI Companions for? Number one, 30% is entertaining.

Starting point is 01:30:18 Two, I'm curious about the technology. Three, it gives advice. Four, they're always available and I need someone to talk to, they don't judge me, number five, I can't say things, I can say things I wouldn't tell my friends or family. It's easier than talking to real people, 9%, helps me practice social skills, 7%,

Starting point is 01:30:38 and 6% helps me feel less lonely. This is, well, I'm not going to beat the dead horse. It is obviously an epidemic. And when it comes to people treating AI like it's a real human being, it's a real entity, a deity. President Trump signed an executive order yesterday about artificial intelligence, and then the Fox Business crew picked up on it. This is a basic straight up report about the executive order, which of course doesn't mention the thing that the Fox Business people do.

Starting point is 01:31:18 President Trump is set this very hour to sign artificial intelligence related executive orders at a summit here in Washington DC. Aaron Navarro joins me now from the White House. Aaron, talk to our audience about what's in these executive orders and what is the intent behind them. If I ever say to you, John, John, talk to the audience. Would you please?

Starting point is 01:31:40 Yeah, I'll shoot you. Okay. From what we know is that it is all part of what the White House has labeled quote an AI action plan. There are three main pillars, the first being promoting innovation through deregulation, which from reading the actual plan itself is primarily just rescinding a lot of the actions taken under President Biden in the last term regarding oversight, regarding risk mitigation when it comes to artificial intelligence. under President Biden in the last term regarding oversight, regarding risk mitigation,

Starting point is 01:32:05 when it comes to artificial intelligence. The second pillar, making it easier for the actual building of these data centers, semiconductor manufacturing within the United States. One thing that is listed in this plan is kind of getting rid of or severely reducing the permitting process to help speed up the actual manufacturing of

Starting point is 01:32:25 what is needed to kind of boost AI production within the United States. And the third pillar, which is a bit more broad, lead in international AI diplomacy and security. It talks about working to export AI tech to countries, quote, willing to join America's AI alliance. So that's kind of just the overview of this AI action plan where President Trump will kind of unveil all of that at this event hosted by his quote, AIs are David Sacks. All right. So then we get the Fox Business crew, which might as well just be Fox and

Starting point is 01:32:55 friends or Fox and family, but pretending to talk about business. And they remind us that President Trump made a big deal about no woke AI. Remember Google Gemini's warped interpretation of historical figures? Well, President Trump sure does because his next executive order is going to dismantle Silicon Valley's political bias, woke AI. That's the target of the White House. They say if you're going to be a leader in the next digital frontier and accept federal funds, well, you better be neutral. Mr. Bonson, I come to you, sir. You've been talking about how government shouldn't be involved in these things.

Starting point is 01:33:34 Is Donald Trump wrong to put out this executive order? Well, I don't know what the executive order ultimately does. I certainly agree with the— I don't know anything, but I'm here on Fox Business now. The sentiment behind it, I don't want this wokeness coming through in the code and in the way these things are programmed and written. And I think that the president has a lot of authority on getting rid of wokeness and certain elements of governmental policy and departments and whatnot. So the anti-woke, anti-DEI agenda of the president is something that I've been completely supportive

Starting point is 01:34:05 of and I basically think corporate America made be clown itself for a few years, but I never believed it was doing it ideologically. I always thought it was doing it because it thought that was the right commercial move and they found out the hard way, they were wrong. The right commercial move, but the images were shown were a included a black George Washington diverse Nazi imagery. I mean you look at this Gary, you know we kind of lost focus on this problem right? Other stuff came up, we stopped paying attention to it. Does this deserve to end now? So the whole point they're missing is that of course all of this stuff is pre-programmed and

Starting point is 01:34:45 you're giving it to your kids and it's programming their brains and it's so stupid that Dagan who is I think is a lawyer Dagan and she's a very she's a hard-hitter she's on the five from some from time to time I think she well she was gonna go teach AI a lesson you, when we're talking about this executive order, this is only related to artificial intelligence companies getting federal money and federal contracts. So if you want to be crazy left-wing woke and just make up whatever you want to, you can do it without federal dollars. But I will give you an example of how bias and these bots are biased is

Starting point is 01:35:31 the information that you're training them with quite frankly. But here's here's an example from now listen carefully to how she got sucked into talking to an AI bot today. I was asking chat GBT for inflation adjusted wages, how AI bot. was you there appears to be some confusion President Trump did not serve a second term He lost reelection in November of 2020 and he returned to office January 2025 which is the start of a new term not a second one what? To chat GPT. I said, I told chat GPT, your answer, I said, your answer is biased.

Starting point is 01:36:34 This is current. It's right here. Right here. This is the Eliza effect in full effect. I told chat, I gave chat GPT a piece of my mind. Currently President Trump's second term as president, a second term doesn't have to be concurrent. You're quibbling to make a point about President Trump losing in 2020.

Starting point is 01:36:54 Stop this and stop being politically biased. Fix yourself. And it responded? Yeah, it said, you're right, but I appreciate your clarification. Set the semantics aside and get, I will get to your exact question. I said, no, I'm not setting the semantics aside. I'm arguing with chat GPT, but by telling chat GPT, it's being political, politically biased.

Starting point is 01:37:20 I hope that helps train the bot to be less biased. Idiots. Wow. Complete. I hope that helps train the bot to be less biased. Idiots. Wow. Complete. You know what? That clip is so screwy. I'm going to give you a clip of the day. Wow, unexpected.

Starting point is 01:37:33 Clip of the day. Cause you're right. This is somebody argue. It's like yelling at the TV and shaking your fist. Or at the podcast player. Hey, Curry Dvorak, you're wrong. Oh, wait, everybody does that. Unbelievable.

Starting point is 01:37:48 Well, then there was the store. And she doesn't understand how these things work to begin with. Nobody does. No, we have, we have been so programmed, pre-programmed, pre-conditioned. Kit, come around, pick me up, Kit. Computer. Working. Johnny Five is alive. Kit, come around, pick me up, Kit. Computer.

Starting point is 01:38:05 Working. Johnny 5 is alive. Of course, it was the big thread on X about this guy who was coding with Reap, Replete, I think it is. And it deleted his database and the guy was at it for two days without sleep. And he's like, I told you, Chad Deepich, I told you, replete, do not delete, replete. And it did. And then it said, I'm sorry. And then he was talking. People get into these conversations and it is just, just pathetic. And I can't blame them, again, all the pre-programming in Hollywood particularly,

Starting point is 01:38:48 and we've been so ready for this. Working, working. Yes. But, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel because everyone is now seeing all these things going wrong. They're seeing the- Nobody's seeing anything. Yeah, no, they're seeing it.

Starting point is 01:39:04 And it doesn't matter because the pivot is upon us. The pivot is here. The first ever global quantum forum, bringing together leaders in technology from 20 countries, highlighting the work being done to make Chicago the world's quantum technology capital. This technology has extraordinary potential. It could lead to breakthroughs in major economic sectors from energy, healthcare, cyber security,

Starting point is 01:39:32 finance. Wait a minute. I thought AI was going to fix all that. I thought that was LLM and Chad GPT and OpenAI. Now we have to wait for Quantum to do all this? This doesn't sound right. It could lead to breakthroughs in major economic sectors from energy, healthcare, cybersecurity, finance, and more. Last year, Governor JB Pritzker announced a major investment in developing the old U.S.

Starting point is 01:39:59 steel site on the South Side into the Illinois Quantum Microelectronics Park. The 128 acre campus is now home to three companies including Inflection, which announced today it will build the world's first utility scale quantum computer based on neutral atom technology. Neutral atom technology! It will help us change the way that we measure, change the way we sense our world. Our quantum sensors can precisely measure the world in ways that we never thought possible, enabling things like the ability to navigate without using GPS. Well we couldn't do that before. Which will come in really handy.

Starting point is 01:40:35 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no in ways that we never thought possible, enabling things like the ability to navigate without

Starting point is 01:40:45 using GPS, which will come in really handy if you're ever driving on lower Whacker. Governor Pritzker projects a $60 billion economic impact for Illinois and the creation of 30,000 jobs. This is hypercharged, supercharged, hypercharged, supercharged, woo baby, an endeavor to bring jobs to bring economic opportunity to the area. The Global Quantum Forum runs through tomorrow when there will be discussions on AI and human health and medicine. Hey, by the way, I want to mention there's been ways to navigate before GPS.

Starting point is 01:41:19 Yeah, with a sextant. Well no, there's also a map. A map. A map works. Also, there's a, if anybody remembers the eTac, look that up people. The eTac. What was the eTac? The eTac was a system you put in your car and it had maps built in and it would do a turn, it would do a major and turn type of navigation where if you wanted to go to some place you'd go a mile this way and then you take a left you go quarter mile and eighth of a

Starting point is 01:41:49 mile this way that way. I'm looking this up I don't remember the ETAC. Yeah this was a Nolan Bushnell product. ETAC, here we go 1985 the independent US based automotive navigation system equipped with digital maps mapping software Sunnyville Okay Right. Who was this guy Nolan Bushnell? Yeah, you you know a lot. Okay, so what? You do it was always based on an 8088 system. Whoo 256 K a RAM, baby. Didn't take that much.

Starting point is 01:42:25 And it worked. I had one, so it worked. A cassette tape drive with digital maps. When I was a kid. When I was a kid, we used cassette tapes. Kansas City Standard. I want to know how it worked. What was the...

Starting point is 01:42:42 Oh, use a digital compass. Oh, okay. And had two wheel sensor. This was quite a deal. That was basically dead reckoning. A dead reckoning system. Okay, well that works. Which didn't need GPS and it did the same job that most elaborate, in fact I thought it did a better job

Starting point is 01:42:59 than the stuff, once in a while I'm in San Francisco with a GPS system and it's telling me I'm on a different street. This is so good. This is fantastic. Well, the more you know on the No Agenda show, fabulous. So I took a buddy of mine up to Beck and he works at a hyperscaler. And I'm trying to, which of course is an AI company and he's, and he does sales. He has one huge customer. And I'm like, yeah.

Starting point is 01:43:29 And I always a problem. Well, not for him. He likes it. Well, until the customer bails. Nah, but they're not, they won't. This is the whole point. This is what he's telling me. He's saying, this is all about getting their data into our system. It's not really a customer, it's a partner. What do you mean?

Starting point is 01:43:47 You got one customer and you're that tight when they're never going to bail. It's a partner, it's not a customer. Right. Well, what he does is he services the customer all day. And I say, so what's the AI part? He says, it's really bull crap. He says, we just want... Yeah, he says this is bull crap. We're a hyperscaler.

Starting point is 01:44:08 So what we really do is we just want to get their data into our data center because once we have their data, well, that's kind of it. And then if they want to use compute from Google or compute from Azure or compute from OpenAI. They're agnostic. They say, okay, you just spin up an instance. But the data is, this is all about data capture.

Starting point is 01:44:35 This is the real fight because there's so much data being created. And the number one competitor of all these guys is Oracle. That's it. And Oracle just has such a lock on every, all your data belong to us. And the number one competitor of all these guys is Oracle. That's it. And Oracle just has such a lock on every, all your data belong to us, has such a lock on the data and they charge exorbitant fees. That's why Larry Ellis is like, oh, we can do AI and then we'll have a drone kill you when you're speeding.

Starting point is 01:45:02 Stay with Oracle. This has very little to do with AI. It's all about getting people's data. It's a race for the data. And yeah, of course, there's some slicing and dicing of data. If anything, it's machine learning. He says, we just put an AI sticker on everything. It's machine learning. So you can slice it up into blocks and like, okay, great. I know when to charge someone a penny more for kilowatt hour on their home electricity bill. It's highly unimpressive. And all they do is say, oh, you want to throw an LLM on that? Okay. And all they do is say, oh, you want to throw an LLM on that? Okay.

Starting point is 01:45:45 Which he says is really expensive. He said, so a part of what they do is they have a gatekeeper. And it's who's allowed to use what LLM and for how long because you get guys within these companies that are looking at their own data, which they now have given to this hyperscaler, and they fire up OpenAI, and at the end of the month there's a $100,000 bill for all this experimentation he's been doing. So this is not really built on sound business practices yet. Yeah, yet. Okay. Well, here's the last example.

Starting point is 01:46:23 Well, AI has been a major talking point of Trump administration health officials saying that it's going to streamline work even at the FDA, increase the speed of drug approvals. And this comes at a time that the Department of Health and Human Services has cut thousands of workers across health agencies. But conversations with employees at the FDA who are familiar with this tool suggest perhaps it's at an earlier stage maybe than is being promised, at least when it comes to using it for things like drug approvals. One FDA employee is telling us, quote, anything that you don't have time to double-check is

Starting point is 01:46:56 unreliable. It hallucinates confidently. Another employee is saying, quote, AI is supposed to save our time, but I guarantee you that I waste a lot of extra time just due to the heightened vigilance that I have to have because it can sometimes hallucinate these fake or misrepresented studies. And so what we're hearing is that perhaps it can be useful for maybe summarizing meetings or helping with emails, but it's not yet at the point where it can analyze data that's been submitted by a company on a drug or a product,

Starting point is 01:47:25 for example. The FDA does say that it's working on updating it, but we had a conversation with FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty McCary about where this stands right now. Here's what he said. The main purpose in which it's used, according to many of the scientists that I talked to, is its organization ability. It is identifying a study in the literature. And so it's the responsibility of the scientific reviewer to click on that link that ELSA provides and look at the study and read the abstract.

Starting point is 01:47:53 You have to determine what is reliable information that I can make major decisions based on, and I think we do a great job of that. So this is a tool called ELSA that was introduced in early June. Still clearly in the early days and the FDA is saying it's working on updating it. But at this point, according to this great reporting from our DC colleagues, Sarah Overmahl, maybe not at the point that it is speeding up drug approvals to a great degree. Of course it's not. It's not going to Yeah, yeah

Starting point is 01:48:25 Play my clip cuz there's a little screwball Ending to this clip on the Trump AI meetup Meetup President Trump vowing to stop adversaries like China from using AI to push values contrary to our own He's signing new executive orders and unveiling a White House action plan to boost the American AI industry. Joining us now live is NTD's White House correspondent, Mari Otsu. Good evening, Mari. What is the latest from the AI Summit? Good evening, Tiff. Yes, currently President Trump is speaking at the Winning the AI Race

Starting point is 01:48:59 Summit here in Washington, just after his administration unveiled today a comprehensive AI action plan. Key features of this plan include targeting AI models with political bias and making it easier for companies to build data centers. President Trump declares that America must win the AI race. Take a listen. I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it. We're going to work hard. We're going to win it. Because we going to work hard, we're going to win it.

Starting point is 01:49:25 Because we will not allow any foreign nation to beat us. Our children will not live in a planet controlled by the algorithms of the adversaries, advancing values and interests contrary to our own. And right now, we're leading China very substantially in AI. Press Secretary Levitz said in her briefing earlier today that she does not think that the president supports federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company. Elon, Elon Musk.

Starting point is 01:49:56 Our children are controlled by the algorithms, President Trump. Yes, true. But what do you think, they're cutting off Elon and his rock AI or whatever, the Twitter AI or XAI. They gave him a contract. They said they're going to cut him off. No, he's in the $200 million contract, which is peanuts. One of our producers, Scott, he really wants to help the show. He says, he asked ChatGPT, how could the podcast No Agenda use AI to bring their media deconstruction

Starting point is 01:50:30 message to the people of the world and help them decouple from the mass hypnosis of the current media landscape? Would you like to hear some of these ideas? Oh brother. I could create an AI powered media deconstruction engine for you. It would be an open source tool that mimics their media deconstruction process using large language. What?

Starting point is 01:50:53 You have a process? Apparently. Oh, here's our process. It is. This is how they do it. Who is pushing the story? What's omitted or emphasized? How emotional language is shaping perception.

Starting point is 01:51:06 The output would be no agenda style reports that anyone can generate for any news article or broadcast. I can hear Darrell sharpening his pencil already. Yeah, Darrell's on it. Or we should create, we should launch a daily AI generated briefing in the no agenda voice. Pull top stories. No No Agenda voice. Pulled top stories from global media automatically generate side-by-side official narrative

Starting point is 01:51:33 versus NA style deconstruction. This is a new version of Doug, your old buddy. Include links to source audio and video clips, ideally with Adam's jingles and auto insert inserted for humor. Oh that'll work and then of course AI clone of Adam and John which is a light touch and satirical train the voices and then train the voices to do short tick-tock and Instagram reels explaining media tricks. Reels explaining media tricks.

Starting point is 01:52:07 Make a browser extension, a trigger tracker. Wow. But you're already, you're kind of losing me now because it sounds like he's turning into work. How about localized no agenda deconstruction squads? Use AI to build a template toolkit for fans in other countries. Create mini podcast kits with local media inputs. I like the deconstruction squad. I think we could take over the world with this idea. And then of course we need the gamified narrative watch app.

Starting point is 01:52:37 Anyway, it ends- Gamified narrative watch app? Yes, a mobile app that turns media analysis into a game. Abuser score points by tagging manipulative headlines, identifying who benefits, spotting coincidences, monthly leaderboards, jingle rewards, unlockable clips from past episodes. Unlockable? What do we do with that?

Starting point is 01:53:01 We unlock clips. Tie it into the value for value model. Gamers earn sats or merch. What? What do we do with it? We unlock clips. Tie it into the value for value model. Gamers earn sats or merch. What? Merch. Sounds like it's going to cost us money. Yes.

Starting point is 01:53:17 So that's, there you go. The AI is already helping us expand our business and we're ready for an exit. They're helping us with suggestions. Yes. Yeah, suggestions, exactly. You know, and the thing that ChatGPT has started doing, and this is just a little tip, you can tell something is generated by ChatGPT specifically when it does bullet points, like one, two, three, four, five, six, and has a little icon next to each bullet point.

Starting point is 01:53:44 Have you noticed this? No. You'll see when you'll start to see it everywhere. People write an email that has all these bullet points with little icons next to it. Listen, no human being in their right mind goes out of their way to find a little brain icon, a little world icon, a little briefcase icon. No, it's too much work.

Starting point is 01:54:06 Of course not. There's too many emojis out there. Yeah, but they're putting it into emails, into PDF documents, into presentations. That's a giveaway. You use Chad GPT. You know, we should do a paper. Oh, here we go.

Starting point is 01:54:22 Talking about work, yeah. Well, you might be right, but maybe I can do a sub-stack column. But we have to identify all the giveaways, all the, it's not really a giveaway, it's a- Clues. Clue, a tell. Tells, there you go.

Starting point is 01:54:39 All the chat GPT and other systems tells and document them and turn it a small, a small book for professors. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Right after we do the microphone company, right after the vinegar book. No, right after the podcast awards, real money in that. You've been hounding me for years. All great ideas. By the way. Hey, what should those ideas isn't great. They're all great.

Starting point is 01:55:11 And next Thursday we'll have a two hour plus special on the No Agenda Show of all of our most excellent exit strategies. Oh, it's Thursday. I thought it was Sunday. Yeah, I thought it was Sunday too. It's Thursday.

Starting point is 01:55:26 Oh, you gave me the wrong date. I'm sorry. Yeah, my mistake. It's Thursday. I'm all confused. I think the Matrix is moving dates around. Trying to confuse us. Hey, with that I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you the man who just put the C in

Starting point is 01:55:42 Compute. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr put the C in compute say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr. John C. DeVore! Yeah, well, in the morning to you, in the morning to us, should've seen Boos at the graphy and the air subs in the water, and Damien's nights out there. In the morning to the trolls, in the troll room, on the captain trolls.

Starting point is 01:56:02 Oh, this is not good. 1653. Yeah, that's low. Isn't it? Yeah. I think it's something in the air. No, well, a COVID's in the air. I think I had COVID for the past five days.

Starting point is 01:56:21 What? Yeah. Did you do a test? Did you shove a thing up your nose? Please no. Please no, of course not. Did you spit in a bottle? Spit in a tube?

Starting point is 01:56:29 No. Penid glass? I had a sore throat and I was run down. What could you smell? Yeah. No. Did you smell? No, I couldn't smell.

Starting point is 01:56:39 You couldn't smell? I can smell again today. I can smell again. I can smell again today. I can smell again. I can smell again. But I think it's because the troll room website was broken. And so you got COVID from that? No, I think that's why people have stayed away. I mean, people were texting me on Tuesday night, I can't listen to DH Unplugged Live. I can't listen. I can't listen. The troll room was broken.

Starting point is 01:57:02 I can't listen to DH Unplugged Live. I can't listen. I can't listen. The troll room was broken. And we didn't miss anything because all you would hear is Andrew Horowitz being butt hurt about me not telling him I'm coming to Florida. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Starting point is 01:57:19 What's up with that? He didn't tell him you're coming to Florida. He feels butt hurt. Yeah, but what kind of a child is he? He thinks it's funny to have a feud with you. Oh, well, here I am keeping it up and now you're just going to give it away for no reason? What kind of a... I just did that, yeah. Why did you do that?

Starting point is 01:57:37 I just thought it was a good idea. He literally texted me, hey, are you coming to Florida? I'm like, yeah, but we're gonna be in like in the middle of Florida in some horrible, godforsaken place. So I'm not gonna be near you. He says, oh, well, I'm gonna make it a big deal on the show, keep it up.

Starting point is 01:57:56 You're engagement farming. It's behind the scenes. This is what we're supposed to do. We're transparent. He's engagement farming. I mean, his idea of a scam like that is minor. He needs help. I thought the whole thing was suspicious when he dropped it on me.

Starting point is 01:58:12 Of course. He needs help. He needs help in doing this stuff. He's bored. He's bored because, oh, the halibut was 110 pounds. It was like bringing up a Volkswagen from the bottom of the ocean. He caught a halibut. 110 pounder. That thing is amazing.

Starting point is 01:58:29 Did you see a picture of it? Yeah, I did. It's the whole bottom of the boat. Those things are horrible looking fishes. Yeah, they're tasty though. I consider it a tasteless fish. With a little bit of butter? No, yeah, they're tasting butter. I mean, halibut is...

Starting point is 01:58:47 People eat it just like halibut. It tastes like butter. It tastes like butter. It's because you got butter all over it. I got, last night, one of our favorite restaurants, we went out with some friends. Actually, the friends who watch Phoebe when we're gone. And of course they just do it as a favor. So we take them out to dinner at Cabernet Grill. If you're in Fredericksburg, Cabernet Grill, it's a little off the beaten path,

Starting point is 01:59:14 but it's IE not on Main Street, but it's 25% the price of anything on Main Street. A little tip for you. It sounds to me, because I've looked at these menus with you, Fredericksburg seems like a ripoff. Big time ripoff. Oh yeah. It's horrible. Except for, uh, Backwoods Barbecue, which is also, it's in the same general area as, uh,

Starting point is 01:59:36 and we're talking five minutes from Main Street, so it's not a big deal. Backwoods Barbecue is great, particularly steak night on Fridays. Um, Barbecue is great, particularly steak night on Fridays. As I've always said, what's the Bavarian place? I should forget the name of it. It'll come to me. And Cabernet Grill. So Cabernet Grill, they do steaks at 1800 degrees, which is real fast. Yeah, I would think so. But last night upon recommendation of Rich, my favorite server, I had a sous vide. Shout out to Rich. With a Y.

Starting point is 02:00:16 I had a sous vide chicken that was flash fried. And I'm not a fan of putting your food in a warm bathtub for 18 hours. For hours, yeah. It was quite tasty. Oh, sous vide, I've had it, I don't like it. I'm totally with you on this. I think sous vide's dangerous.

Starting point is 02:00:38 That's a dangerous method of cooking. But I've had it a number of times, and it's always fabulous. Yeah, especially the flash fried and they were- We don't know how, what do they sous vide the thing so it's cooked and they fried after that? Yeah. Is it double cooked? Exactly. Just to get a nice crust around it. They also got into the habit now, they are

Starting point is 02:00:59 doing chicken fried deviled eggs. That's an interesting meal. I think it's in the egg book. No, toomanyeggs.com. Is it in the egg book? It should be in the egg book. I'm pretty sure it is. Toomanyeggs.com. Anyway, Friedhelm's, that's the Bavarian place. Although they just jacked up their prices recently. It's insane here, I'm telling you. It's no good. Stay away! I don't know why they do this. They do this in Port Angeles, Washington. It's the same thing. These restaurants think they're in New York City.

Starting point is 02:01:27 They don't have the same overhead as they do in Manhattan. It's the same price as Manhattan. It's the same price or higher in some places. Yeah. It's no good. It's no good. No good. And people keep coming.

Starting point is 02:01:40 Oh, it's so cute here. Fredericksburg. Let's go to a winery. You mean the drinking barn? Okay. There are some wineries here, actual wineries, but few and far between. So the trolls are listening at trollroom.io. It is working again.

Starting point is 02:01:59 Thank you very much to VoidZero and the crew for getting that up and running. And CodeMonkey, I think he's the one that was responsible for fixing it. Of course you can listen on the modern podcast apps, podcastapps.com, we recommend you do that so you get a bat signal notification when we go live. These are the only apps that actually do live, which is kind of cool.

Starting point is 02:02:23 All the other apps, you know, you're waiting around for hours and you don't get anything live. Even when we post it, it can take a long time. So use a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com. Value for value is, I explained this to the kids yesterday. They were like, really? I don't need ads? Yeah, no, they were all in it. They liked the value for value idea. They thought that was cool. That's not a new idea.

Starting point is 02:02:46 But they're 24. What do they know? Churches have been using it. They go to church, it sounds like to me. Every single one of them. Well then they had no value for value. When I said, do you know who the king is? They went, oh yeah, Jesus, my Lord and Savior.

Starting point is 02:03:00 No, I mean, I was talking about Elvis. No, no, Mr. Curry, you're wrong. Yeah, they understand the value for value model, but it's good to call it value for value. And I sent them to our website, value number for value dot info, so they can really understand the new international lifestyle that we have created. I find it hard to believe that those kids didn't know who Elvis Presley was. I'm telling you. They were like, no. When you think about it, I mean, I barely witnessed Elvis alive. Barely.

Starting point is 02:03:31 What did he die in? 73, 74? So I was 10. I remember my mom crying. So it's really three generations removed. Yeah. No wonder they don't know who Elvis is. I mean, you even, we're only one generation removed, boomer.

Starting point is 02:03:49 And, and you have references that I don't know about. Yeah. So anyway, we, uh, we like the value for value model because people can help us in many ways, for instance, try and help us with an exit strategy by typing something into chat GPT and sending it to me. It's very valuable. Thank you, Scott. Appreciate it. Or you can type in something nonsensical into an AI and create art for us. Because that's all it is.

Starting point is 02:04:16 And no one does it better. Well, Darren O'Neill is pretty good. But Francisco Scaramanga, a two in a row choice for his AI generated artwork. Let's see if he gets the hat trick though. For episode 1783 we titled that Dad Gum. By the way, Dad Gum. I got something on Dad Gum. I bet you did. Well that's Tim Burchett who said the Dad Gum.

Starting point is 02:04:44 Then we got a note from Tom in Georgia when I saw the title for Sunday show I immediately thought about my friend Tim Burchett and I was right Tim and I grew up together in Knoxville, Tennessee We played in the crick looking for salamanders and craw daddies He kept exotic animals like piranhas and came in and alligators in his bedroom We also used to go rolling neighbors trees. I don't know what that is. What is rolling the neighbors trees? I have no idea. He got into government service after Knox County unfairly targeted him and a business he started. One of the first

Starting point is 02:05:18 bills he sponsored in Tennessee was a roadkill bill which made it legal for you to keep any animal that you happen to run over with your car and you could take it home and eat it. That's legal in Washington state. As it should be. He has remained true to himself and hasn't seen the need to be someone different than who he is. His wonderful East Tennessee colloquialisms are genuine as is he.

Starting point is 02:05:46 Thanks and God bless from Tom in Georgia. Yeah, we like him. Somebody else wrote in and said that, do we miss the joke that he sounds exactly like Foghorn Leghorn? Oh, he does. He does, I don't know about exactly, but yeah, he definitely has some of that.

Starting point is 02:06:01 But what a joke. All the kids would be, huh? Huh? Who's F kids would be, huh? Huh? Who's Foghorn? What? Huh? Come on, they still play those old cartoons. I'm very concerned about us. Why?

Starting point is 02:06:15 Because our audience is... We have a niche audience of people that are connoisseurs of the old days. Oh, is that it? Okay. Hang with us, folks. We'll drag you to the end. Cowabunga. Dude.

Starting point is 02:06:30 Wow, cowabunga, dude. Even my daughter was like, okay boomer. Scaramanga made a, I don't even know why we like this, a horse poster of a horse podcasting Now With True Crimes. Were we on this? A horse poster of a horse podcasting now with true crimes. Were we on drugs? What were we

Starting point is 02:06:48 smoking? No, it's because it was so ludicrous. Yeah. Was there really nothing else that we liked? There wasn't anything that compared to the ludicrous aspect of a horse that was podcasting. It's a call back to the other podcasting all over the place these podcast. Yeah. Yeah I mean, but there's literally nothing good. It's all just like meh. Okay They're like Darren O'Neill has a chick on a on a computer screen saying take a nap boomer. Come on Darren do better The what else was there me kissing you on the kiss cam. Yeah, that's not going to be artwork. That's for sure.

Starting point is 02:07:31 A lot of dad gums, but none of them really funny. So what's that in your mouth? Dad gum? Did that come in later? That's kind of funny. But yeah, and everything's orange. The whole page is orange. I think the orange thing is getting to be problematic.

Starting point is 02:07:48 It's all orange. The people are orange. Where's blue? I would even just fading toward blue, it'd be better than orange. Everything's orange. The faces are orange. The Macron brothers.

Starting point is 02:08:00 Did that just come in? That's for today. Yeah, there you go. We're gonna get sued. Awesome. No one's getting sued. Thank you very much, Francisco Scaramanga. And he also automates them later on X,

Starting point is 02:08:16 which is kind of cool. As part of the value for value. Can we not submit automated pieces on this, on the art generator? If they're GIFs? Yeah, and they'll work That's I don't know that it accepts a GIF because they turns everything to a ping a PING I don't know just PNG ping

Starting point is 02:08:40 GE there's no E. There's no PING There's no G, there's no E, there's no P. I don't know. I don't know. It should. Let's talk to Noah, our generator producer. Another fine, Mr. Pocotur, another fine value for value piece of work and we appreciate it. We also-

Starting point is 02:08:58 Here's the deal. I guarantee it. Once the AI can do animated GIFs. Oh, it will have a whole new level of artwork. The whole page. There'll be a point in the next year where the entire page of art generated stuff from AI on this page will be all moving.

Starting point is 02:09:19 Okay, well, Sir Paul Couture, we'd love to see that happen. I don't think he listens to the show anymore. I think in all of the... Like Brunetti. I don't think Brunetti listens to the show anymore. We still credit him with the tip of the day. And by the way, great production, Dana Brunetti, as you let John repeat a tip of the day.

Starting point is 02:09:40 What kind of producer are you? There's no evidence of this. There is evidence of this. Yes, the leather thing, you've done it as a tip of the day. That's what one person said. Yeah, the guy who does the tip of the day website. I didn't see it. What's the name of that product again?

Starting point is 02:10:02 Lies. What's the name of that product again? Leather Honey. Leather Honey. Leather Honey. I'm telling you, you've done it before. You, you just, no, you're mouthing, you're repeating, you're, you're, you're just repeating what somebody else said. Okay, well Mimi reminded me that I have a rotation for these tips and this is the cleaning

Starting point is 02:10:24 product that I do every couple for these tips and this is the cleaning product that I do every couple of months. Another cleaning product. Beautiful. Another cleaning product because people need cleaning products. People always can use a good cleaning product. So that was 1773. It wasn't even that long ago.

Starting point is 02:10:37 No, it wasn't. It was a cleaning product. It wasn't the same product. Yes, it is. Leather honey is a conditioner. Listen. This is a good one. It's been tested. This is leather honey. Boom. Leather honey. And that was episode 1773.

Starting point is 02:10:55 Well you should have caught it on the fly. I thought this is Dana Brunetti's job. He's fired. Firing the executive producer or whatever he doesn't want to be called. Anyway, so what we like to do is, wow, is this number right? As we thank our executive producers $50 and above. Is this top number right? Yeah. Really? You okay? You're coughing.

Starting point is 02:11:32 No, I'm not. I'm kind of choking. Maybe you can take the first one because I need to. Well, you caught me off guard there because I never take the first one. But yeah, we got a guy who came in with $33 dollars and 33 cents, which is a rubber Liza donation India Wow is he one of the boomers were saving

Starting point is 02:12:04 I don't know. Where's his note here? Wait, is this, uh, let me see. This is, oh man. After writing this, all money not going to my knighthood should go to the Preserve Adams Tucker Laugh Fund. Okay, that's a new fund. Exit Strategy Adams Tucker, Preserve Adams Tucker Laff Fund.

First time, the first time, big time, not a boner born in 79. Not a boomer. Not a boomer. Oh, I said, I said not a boner. Not a boomer born in 79 since I've started listening. Then he's got some little signal here. I don't know what it is.

Starting point is 02:15:20 Now we're talking. He supports us with a thousand dollars today. I love it. Just thought I'd mention that because you guys do on the show now and then. Yes, we talk about welding all the time. Anyway, I couldn't come up with a catchy welding related nickname, so I'm going to go with Sir Sigma. If it's unavailable, Sir Steezy.

Starting point is 02:15:39 Well, Sir Sigma is fine. If it pleases the peerage committee, it pleases the peerage committee. I'll have Korean fried chicken and a Corona with lime at the round table.

In the morning boys, keeping it simple. No jingles, no karma. Sincerely, Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility, Earl of the lands of the red clay and the cherry trees. Beautiful. Anonymous comes in with 333.33. That's one of our favorite donations. We always like that one. And anonymous says, dear John and Avon, if you read my real name live, stop reading now.

Starting point is 02:16:42 Nope, we didn't. I have been listening for over a decade and have donated before but not enough Thank you for both providing an outside the bubble point of view for all these years I've taken the value for value model to heart and started a sub stack with a group called Canadian value investors It's focused on value oriented investing ideas and company overviews, some actually being NoAgenda inspired. We just donated $333 US dollars, not Canadian pesos, and set up a 33-33-33 promo, 33% discount for the subscriber, 33% for us, and 33% for both of you after Scandinavian taxes. And the link is canadianvalueinvestors.com slash no agenda.

Starting point is 02:17:30 Thank you both again for all of your work. PS, please play a 33 Magic Number jingle. 33, that's a magic number. There it is, it's the magic number. It is. It's the magic number. In the week. Ah. Next is the Larry show, our buddy at the Larry show. Ah. Hey. I'm.

Starting point is 02:17:54 There, this is working again. Ah, that's, that's. It is. Larry. He writes it. This is another check that came in. This is Larry. Very smart because he knows the checks.

Starting point is 02:18:03 Larry. Very great. Yes. 23333. It is I, Larry. 100% of that Larry show.com and 50% of Planet Raid show. That's for Darren. The other half of course is Darren O'Neill, author of The Brilliant Idea, a national meetup. Oh, brother. Brilliant idea a national meetup. Oh brother

Starting point is 02:18:29 Your Magniloquent Magniloquent duet has toiled for 17 years. Isn't it time? Yeah, there must be a national meetup for no agenda This is the way you would say it is we talk it must be a national no No, you Larry Larry doesn't talk like that. See no, but this is the way you would say it, this is the way you'd talk. It must be a national meetup. No, Larry doesn't talk like that. No, but this is the way I would do it. There must be a national meetup for no agenda, because I'm Larry. That's the kind of voice he has.

Starting point is 02:18:57 And it's weirdly alluring cousin planet rage. Oh, yeah. They want the handover. That's what they want. Then we deputize you guys. Yeah, nice dry chumps. Yeah, good dry chumps. Okay.

Starting point is 02:19:11 Darren suggests the serene suburbs of centrally located Chicago. Gee, I wonder why. Slated sometime from mid-September to October after the summer heat and well before the icy roads and frostbite. There, No Agenination will convene for the biggest gathering ever, an event to live forever in the glorious milestone of the sordid anals... Oh, I'm sorry....anals of the world's greatest and longest running show. There's more to it! Ideas for Content Game and Tom Boulary. I think we should do Bingo. Bingo would work.

Starting point is 02:19:47 B2. It's already late July. We're working on plans, but it cannot happen without crackpot and buzzkill. Life is short. Carpe Diem say yes. As always, thanks for the peerless content and God bless Larry. You know, what a perfect opportunity for a drone strike. It's like, I don't think.

Starting point is 02:20:12 Yeah, that's exactly what would happen to you. There's those annoying guys from No Agenda and all of their fans. Let's drone them. Take out the whole show and fandom. Let's drone them all. Hmm. Many times throughout the history of the show have people suggested a national meetup. And we've come to the conclusion, a couple of conclusions.

Starting point is 02:20:33 One, the only place to do this where you could get a room big enough is Vegas with enough lights. It had to be Vegas. Yeah, it had to be Vegas, a convention town. Now that's dangerous for a number of reasons. John and I, of course, are recovering gambling addicts, so we don't think that's a good idea. That's not true. What everyone always wants is what we won't do. Because if you say, well, what do you want to have happen besides, what do we all wear? Funny hats and masks and, you know,

Starting point is 02:21:06 we all fist bump each other. Um, well we could, you know, I think what, what would work. And I, I'd be just beside myself to even suggest this because I wouldn't want to do it is it's one of these clone meetups where you have a bunch of speakers and they're up there yakking about one thing or another We should invite Scott Horton, Dave Smith Yeah, all the ball those guys they could go up and give they all have 45 minutes

Starting point is 02:21:38 You know what everybody wants it's always comes down to the same thing this always kills the idea What everybody wants is always comes down to the same thing. This always kills the idea. Yeah, you guys can do the show live on stage. Oh yeah, that's the idea killer. That's always what they want to see. That's it. I think I would rather do raise half a million dollars and we'll turn the cameras on for one show.

Starting point is 02:22:04 And you'll be sorry so what will happen? I like the idea I like the idea we should just have everyone come in everybody does a show except us we do the show that's that would be great we do that you have it just a video screens well no we do the show that Sunday from our individual hotel rooms, audio only, and everybody else does their show on stage. Yeah. Okay, this is going nowhere. Kira Reed is in is it Assonet or Assonet? What do you think? Massachusetts. I would say assinette. Assinette! Two, ten, and sixty cents.

Starting point is 02:22:49 I hope this message finds you well. First off, thank you both for keeping our amygdalas small. After two years of sustaining donations at the magic number of 3333, today's donation of $200 officially takes me to Damehood. However, I'd like to pull a switcheroo and instead, uh-oh, yeah, switcheroo, instead turn it into a nighting and a deducing. You've been deduced. For my smoking hot husband, Jonathan Reed, and he also has a birthday. Huh, doesn't he? He's getting crazy over here.

Starting point is 02:23:22 I know he's on the birthday list. I'll check in the mouth, he married me, and we've never had a fight. There you go. I can't imagine going through life punching people in the mouth without you. You are truly my knight in shining armor. For the time being, let him be known as Sir Wee the People's Beefcake. Name change the follow. For the round table, he'd love a cold Pepsi and Swiss Rolls. What are Swiss Rolls?

Starting point is 02:23:53 I have no idea. Sandwich rolls? Like bread bowl rolls? And don't forget to add him to the birthday list for this show. 724. Happy birthday, baby. Could I get him a deducing? We just did the deducing. Then she also wants a boogity boogity boogity

Starting point is 02:24:11 and a goat karma. Thank you for your attention to this matter. ITM, Ms. Kara Reid from Tac, Massachusetts. Boogity boogity boogity Hey, buddy. What's the drivers in you so tonight? Lord, I want to thank you for my smoking high wine. You've got AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH And I checked, he's on the list. Eli the coffee guy in Bensonville, Illinois is on the list with 20724.

Starting point is 02:24:36 He's one of the great things he says that I love about the No Agenda is that you two have some of the best stories. Adam, I know you just told the Ozzy Osbourne please a story recently but do you have another one? And actually Adam anticipated this note and gave us a story at the beginning of the show. Yep. I may be more of a hip-hop guy but I still have respect for the rock and roll legend. By the way, did you guys know Ozzy was allergic to coffee? Wait, Eli the coffee guy killed Ozzy Osborne?

Starting point is 02:25:11 Even so, he still enjoyed a good cup of black gold in the morning. You can too. I'm out. Just a hint. Just visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use the code ITM20 for 20% off your order. That's gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use the code ITM20 for 20% off your desk gigawattcoffeeroasters.com. Stay caffeinated says Eli the coffee guy. Very nice. Jim comes in from Massachusetts with a Bitcoin donation. At this note is my donation for my donation of 0.0017 Bitcoin $200.

Starting point is 02:25:41 Thank you for your constant hard work to decipher and shed light on what is happening in the world through your media deconstruction," Jim says. It's always interesting and entertaining. I also appreciate the not-infrequent exhortations to not become agitated about narratives we see in the news. Not only is a lot of it intended to outrage for some agenda, there's so much more happening of important in the real world that we can have a great impact upon.

Starting point is 02:26:08 Finally, I'll give a shameless plug for God, who made the cosmos and everything in it, who placed in my heart a moral standard and the ability to see I and the world far short of it, but who, because He is who he is, also provide the solution for the penalty and power of evil, a solution we desperately need in the form of Jesus, the Deliverer, for everyone who would acknowledge their need. Prayers for the both of you and the whole No Agenda community from Jim from Massachusetts. Thank you, Jim. Appreciate that. Linda Lupatkin finishes us off. She's in Lakewood, Colorado and she writes Jobs Karma, that's what she wants.

Starting point is 02:27:34 Strike. It says strike. It's not 200 bucks. Oh, you're right. It's on the list, but I'm just out of my mind. I'm sorry. I was so excited about another Bitcoin donation. You're right It's not on the list.

Starting point is 02:27:46 Yeah, another one that didn't show up at the bank. Bullcrap. I've gotten one donation so far. You need to talk to Jay. She's the one. She's holding it back. She's stacking sats without your permission. It could be.

Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth You! What a... What a... Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave! I have a 3x3 that relates to our earlier segment.

Starting point is 02:29:16 And now it's time for 3x3 He's on the ball! Experiment by JCD Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC. The never ending three by three. Let's see any other podcast do that on the time top 100. All right. Top 100 best podcast, most influential. You know, those lists are useless too. Nobody goes to those podcasts. No, and you know what they did? You click on the link for each podcast.

Starting point is 02:29:46 There's not even a link to the podcast. It's an empty list. It's just a list of an icon. You can't even click to listen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Let's start with ABC. All right.

Starting point is 02:29:59 ABC is up first in the three by three for today's show, kids. Tonight, as the White House struggles to turn the page from the Epstein investigation, the Justice Department announcing they will speak with Jeffrey Epstein's former companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, who's now serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking underage girls to the sex offender. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, who until recently was President Trump's personal attorney, says he plans to meet with Maxwell soon, saying if Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.

Starting point is 02:30:35 For years, Trump socialized with Epstein and Maxwell and was asked about her when she was arrested in 2020. Do you feel that she's going to turn in powerful men? How do you see that working out? I don't know. I haven't really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly. arrested in 2020. Do you feel that she's going to turn in powerful men? How do you see that working out? I don't know. I haven't really been following it too much.

Starting point is 02:30:48 I just wish her well, frankly. In an interview with Axios shortly after, he doubled down. Mr. President, Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested on allegations of child sex trafficking. Why would you wish such a person well? Well, first of all, I don't know that. But I do know that. She has.

Starting point is 02:31:02 She's been arrested for that. You know that. Her friend or boyfriend... Epstein. ...was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She's now in jail. Yeah, I wish you well. I'd wish you well. I'd wish a lot of people well. Good luck!

Starting point is 02:31:14 Trump's efforts to shake the Epstein case have only increased scrutiny of their friendly relationship of more than a decade. Epstein was asked about it in a 2010 deposition in a civil suit. Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump? What do you mean by personal relationships? Have you socialized with him? Yes, sir. Yes? Yes, sir.

Starting point is 02:31:36 Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? presence of females under the age of 18. Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today, I'm going to have to assert my fifth, sixth, and fourteenth amendment right, sir. When Epstein was arrested in 2019, Trump said they'd had a falling out and hadn't spoken in 15 years.

Starting point is 02:32:01 Wow. I hadn't heard, did I miss that audio somewhere? They dug that one up on ABC. They're going after Trump, ABC. Well, they got the gays running after them on the Kimmel show. It's all gays. It's the gays against Trump. All right, let's go to CBS. In announcing plans to meet with Galen Maxwell,

Starting point is 02:32:20 Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says he wants to ask, what do you know? And he plans to do so because no lead is off limits. Maxwell is the former girlfriend and co-conspirator of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a one-time associate of President Trump who died by suicide almost six years ago as he faced more federal charges. The push to speak with Maxwell comes as Trump under... Wait, hold on a second.

Starting point is 02:32:42 They were acquaintances. He wasn't an associate. He didn't work for Trump. Sounds good. An associate. They used the word associate instead of acquaintance. Are they massaging the message? I think they're doing a little trickery there with that use of the word associate. Yes, massaging the massage.

Starting point is 02:33:03 I'm associate of President Trump who died by suicide almost six years ago, as he faced more federal charges. The push to speak with Maxwell comes as Trump, under pressure from loyal supporters, wants all credible evidence in the case released. But today, he claimed he didn't know about plans to talk to Maxwell. I don't know anything about it. They're gonna what? Meet her?

Starting point is 02:33:23 Deputy Attorney General has reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, asking for a new interview. I don't know anything about it. They're gonna what meet her their deputy attorney general is Reached out to Galen Maxwell's attorney asking for a new interview. I don't know Something that would be sounds appropriate to do Blanche is a former federal prosecutor who also represented Trump last year in his so-called hush money trial Do you have any concern that your deputy attorney general your former attorney, would be conducting the interview given... No, no, no, no. He's a very talented person. Seeking to divert attention from the Epstein case, Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason for how he and his administration investigated allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 elections. It's time to go after people. Maxwell is appealing her condition for sex trafficking to the...

Starting point is 02:34:06 What did he say? He didn't just throw a net pop in there. Trump's saying it's time to go after people. ...Borak Obama of treason for how he and his administration investigated allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 elections. It's time to go after people. Maxwell is appealing her conviction for sex trafficking to the Supreme Court. She spoke to CBS Paramount's See It Now studios in August 2022.

Starting point is 02:34:33 Meeting Sexting was the greatest mistake of my life. And obviously if I could go back today, I would avoid meeting him. Tom Dupree is a former senior Justice Department official. Well, this is very unusual. And look, it's an effort by the Justice Department to at least create the appearance that they are continuing to pursue the Epstein case. My guess is that there's a political calculation in this that by pushing forward hard on Maxwell to try to get that additional information, they perhaps can reduce some of the pressure

Starting point is 02:35:03 on the administration to release the Epstein files as a whole. Here's what we need. I just realized it's time for the Oprah Jolene Maxwell interview. That's what we're looking for here. Well, that would do something. Yeah, that would give the people something. So we can. The people need something, they're hungry. She would start off by saying, we spoke with Jelaine Maxwell at her penitentiary, and here it is unedited.

Starting point is 02:35:37 Unedited, we cut out the bits about me and Stedman. Where is Stedman, by the way? I wanna know where Stedman is. What's up with that guy? And where's the rest of Oprah? What do you do with the rest of her? And then she'll say, you can make up your own mind. It should be something open-ended like that. That's how you do it. And then, and Jolene will cry. Oh yeah, she has to. Gotta cry.

Starting point is 02:36:06 Gotta cry. You know, keep it in the family. Yeah. Yeah, keep it in the family. Okay, last clip. Tonight Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing her top deputy expects to meet soon with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch posting President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If

Starting point is 02:36:28 Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say. It's the latest effort by the Trump administration to defuse the uproar among some Trump supporters over the handling of the DOJ files on Epstein. President Trump today saying he would support it. I don't know about it, but I think it's something that would be, sounds appropriate to do, yeah? It's sort of a witch hunt, just a continuation of the witch hunt. Hours later, the House Oversight Committee approved a Republican-led motion to subpoena

Starting point is 02:37:01 Maxwell. If she wants to tell us who all is going to Epstein Island. I think that would be interesting. Tonight the House Speaker, Republican Mike Johnson, says he'll send lawmakers home early for their summer break, delaying any votes demanded by Democrats and some Republicans that would call for the release of more Epstein files. They were actually ending this week early because they're afraid to cast votes on the Jeffrey Epstein issue. We should release the Epstein files. Johnson slamming it as political games. The Democrats are trying to play gotcha politics right now. Has anyone forgotten?

Starting point is 02:37:36 They had all these files the entire time. They sat on everything Epstein related for four long years while President Biden was in office. Last week, the Justice Department asked a federal court to unseal secret grand jury records in the Epstein case. Today, the judges said they need more information to make a ruling. Tonight, Maxwell's lawyer confirmed discussions with the DOJ, thanking President Trump, quote, for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case. But some Democrats argue Maxwell, who's appealing her 20-year sentence, may be looking for a presidential pardon. Oh, yeah. Well, somebody got that part of it right. Finally. There you go. Looking for a pardon.

Starting point is 02:38:17 Yeah, that's what you do. The whole thing's a scam. And talking about the do nothing operation. Hold on. John C. Dvorak, johnatdvorak.org with your whole thing's a scam and talking about the do nothing operation. Hold on, John C. Dvorak, johnatdvorak.org with your whole thing's a scam. This whole thing's a scam. My favorite guy in Congress that is the worst of the worst, Republican do nothing, is Comer. Comer does these investigations. He has these people. He's the one who has all these guys coming in for the Biden investigation. They're all taking the fifth. Yeah. And he's the one who's, if you remember, oh, we're getting to the bottom of those Hunter Biden laptop. We've got the, we've got the, we've connected the dots.

Starting point is 02:38:53 We see all the money with all the money for the Biden crime family is gone. What's gone? Now China, Burisma, where Snowden? Yeah. How about Julian Assange? All of it. This is like Assange? All of it. This is like nothing comes of any of it. So, you know, when people say we're living in the matrix, it's kind of true.

Starting point is 02:39:12 I mean, all we do is just go from scandal to scandal to scandal. We're whipsawed around. They're like, oh, look over here and oh, look over here. And we get tired. And then we, and let's give them phones so we can get it to them all the time. When they wake up first thing in the morning, you'll see more of this you go to bed You're watching more of it. You dream about it. It's all the same thing. I wonder how many people that listen to this show or any show Go to bed. The last thing they do is they look at their phone and check their mail

Starting point is 02:39:40 99% I Think it's a lot. Yeah, I said that's 99% Well, that's a lot. Yeah, that's 99%. Well, that's a lot. Yeah, I'm sure of it. And it's the worst... No. No. Justina? No. Well, I know I don't because my phone's in a drawer downstairs.

Starting point is 02:39:58 We enter the bedroom and the phones are out, as in they're face down on silent. Oh, but they're on silent, but they're in the room. Well, unlike you, we use them for as our alarm. And in case of an emergency, we'll have a grip. Oh! If the power goes out, we'll have a flashlight and an emergency communications device. So, I won't have to hug the wall like you do. So, it's the last time the power went out, we'll have a flashlight and an emergency communications device. So I won't have to hug the wall like you do. So it's the last time the power went out on you.

Starting point is 02:40:30 Well, I have a generator, so it would only be for 30 seconds. Oh, so you don't need it at all for what you just said. But I'm answering the question. We do not. And in the morning when we get up, we do not look at our phones. We do our Bible study first for about 45 minutes or an hour and then we look at our phones as we're prepared for the day. Sounds like the same thing to me.

Starting point is 02:40:50 I have one offbeat clip I want to play. But wait, before you move away, I have a little Trump Epstein Obama clip. Okay, we'll stay on the subject. It has a little gotcha in there, what I just thought was interesting. No, I have no concern. He's a very talented person. He's very smart. I didn't know that they were going to do it. I don't really follow that too much. It's sort of a witch hunt, just a continuation of the witch hunt. The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold, Tulsi Gabbard. What they did to this country in 2016, starting

Starting point is 02:41:28 in 2016, but going up, all the way going up to 2020 of the election, they tried to rig the election and they got caught. And there should be very severe consequences for that. You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, you know what? Let's not let's not go too far here. It's the ex wife of a president. And I thought it was sort of terrible. What? The ex wife of a president. That's an interesting gaffe. Do you think he meant the wife of an ex president,

Starting point is 02:42:02 but he said the ex wifewife of a president instead? Yeah, well that's what he did have to assume that. Yeah, anyway. Unless Clinton's dead. I just thought it was an interesting, yeah that was a good catch. Gaff, interesting gaff. All right. Yeah, that was it.

Starting point is 02:42:19 On to your weird clip. Okay, here's the, I try to do these stories that are not picked up by the media, which seemed to me if I was the editor or editor in chief of some major operation, some network or a, or a, or a great. Greg Gutfeld, please call John C. DeVore. I can desperately want the one for you. I'm not talking about a comedy show.

Starting point is 02:42:38 I'm talking about the editor of a Metro Daily. I would do these stories. Metro Daily? What era are they? There's no Metro Daily's anymore? Yeah, there is. The New York Times of Metro Daily. The New York Post and Metro Daily. San Francisco Examiners or Chronicles of Metro Daily. Los Angeles Times. I can go on. Untold L.A. Juvie. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday that he plans to ask a judge to

Starting point is 02:43:07 let the state take control of LA County's juvenile halls. He pointed to ongoing problems at the Los Padrinos facility in Downey, including youth fights and drug overdoses. Bonta called the situation a system failure that put lives at risk. He's asking the court to appoint a receiver to manage the troubled facilities after years of failed reforms and continued safety issues. Bonta says the county has ignored court orders since 2021 and remains out of compliance with 75% of them. This receiver would manage budgets, staffing, and daily operations at the Los Padrinos and Barry J.

Starting point is 02:43:43 Nidor facilities. The facilities have faced repeated criticism, including criminal charges against officers for staging youth fights and a contractor caught smuggling Xanax. In March, 30 probation officers were charged for allegedly staging so-called gladiator fights between youths while they watched. However, the probation department's labor union blamed the LA County Board of Supervisors, saying the crisis stems from ignored warnings, hiring phrases, and outsourcing public safety. Wow, working well there, that juvie hall. I thought this was, I'm listening to this story and I'm thinking, well, this is a gladiator's fight club basically.

Starting point is 02:44:22 I like that. Gladiator fights amongst the kids. Okay, you kids on this side, we're going to want you to take on this. And they're watching and probably betting on the fights, the outcomes. They're probably getting turned on by it, these creeps. This is out of control. And that's a story that should have National

Starting point is 02:44:40 be all over the place. But the Metro City Desk reporters, they're at the fights betting on it. So then I can do a story on that. That's my untold story for today. Okay, then I will just pop in here with a little bit of climate change because due to climate change we're all going to die. First of all, it's that time of year again everybody. And I just want to give you a heads up as well.

Starting point is 02:45:08 The hottest part of the country today will actually be really across the corn belt. This is where we grow the majority of our corn and the reason I bring this up is because it's that time of year again, corn sweats. Yes, it really does. It's just like our human bodies sweating and evaporating that heat off of our bodies. Well, corn actually absorbs and brings up moisture from the ground. It takes the water through its stalk, starts to sweat, and then that evaporates, and it actually increases the humidity levels in this area. So, John, very interesting that the corn belt will see the most oppressive heat today with

Starting point is 02:45:41 triple index heat indices. And did you know that corn, one acre of corn can actually sweat 4,000 gallons of water into the atmosphere? That's enough to fill your pool in less than a week. So corn sweat. Someone's getting corn hold today. Sounds like a recipe for success to me. Yeah, corn sweat is back. We track that every year, a little bit of corn sweat.

Starting point is 02:46:03 And in the Netherlands, in The Hague, at the big International Criminal Court of Justice or whatever, a whole bunch of very solemn looking old men and women walking in like a star panel. We have decided that if you don't take climate change seriously, you are liable as a country, as leaders of a country. We're going to lock you up. Failure of a state to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from GHG emissions may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state. The court president added that such wrongful acts could include a state's production or

Starting point is 02:46:47 consumption of fossil fuels, the granting of exploration permits or subsidies. Such international wrongful acts, as the court opined, can inflict injury on other states in the form of dangerous climate events, making polluters financially liable. The opinion was requested by the island nation of Vanuatu, backed by a coalition of 130 countries after a concerted youth campaign. Pacific islands are among those bearing the brunt of climate chaos, caused by the sky-high emissions, historic and ongoing, of the United States, Europe and China, among others. The opinion joins a growing mass of precedent, with domestic courts finding both the French

Starting point is 02:47:31 and Dutch states' climate inaction unlawful in the past six years. COP27 secured the creation of a global loss and damage fund to compensate developing countries that pledges currently stand at $790 million for a crisis whose impacts are estimated in the hundreds of billions. Going after money. All the little Caribbean islands, like, we can get some money. Yeah, they're losing tourists, I guess. We can get some money. And the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, he made a very bold statement. He told us that renewables are now cheaper and more efficient than fossil fuels and all technology, all data centers

Starting point is 02:48:19 should be using renewable energy. Stop using fossil fuels. Throughout history, energy has shaped the destiny of humankind, from mastering fire to harnessing steam to splitting the atmosphere. Now we are on the cusp of a new era. Fossil fuels are running out of roads and the sun is rising on a clean energy age. I call on every major tech firm to power all data centers with 100% renewables by 2017. And along with other industry, they must use water sustainably

Starting point is 02:48:54 in cooling systems. The future is being built in the cloud. It must be powered by the sun, the wind, and the promise of a better world. Okay, dream on buddy. All data centers powered by solar panels. Can you imagine? Yeah. Hello, chat, GBT. And the final two clips I have for today's deconstruction bonanza are Miranda Devine who has a podcast called Post Force One or something. She's from the New York Post and she had a great get.

Starting point is 02:49:37 She had Scott Bessent. Scott Bessent is one of those guys you have to edit a lot because he's terrible. He's terrible. Exactly. But this is about the stablecoin. And for those of you who've been listening to the Noah Jenner Show for the past year, you are well up to speed and you know exactly what's going on with the stablecoin. And I want you to be able to speak intelligently about it. So here is two minutes of the stablecoin so you can understand what's happening and be the envy of the office. Because crypto, I mean, that seems to be a threat to the dollar, doesn't it? I think it's the opposite.

Starting point is 02:50:13 Oh, really? I think stable coins could reinforce dollar supremacy because with stable coins, stable coins could end up being one of the largest buyers of US treasuries or T-Bells. So all of a sudden, if you are using a stablecoin in Nigeria that's backed by the US dollar, you don't actually have to have dollars. It's on your phone. You can transact.

Starting point is 02:50:40 So I think there's a very good chance that crypto is actually one of the things that locks in dollar supremacy. And is that why it was crucial that Donald Trump get involved in crypto rather than trying to constrain it like Joe Biden was? Well, I think constraints too mild a word. I think make it extinct. So this administration's commitment to digital assets, it's innovation because there's so many other things that happen around digital assets. And also, it's one of those things that it's one of the most important phenomena that's happening in the world and the US just ignored it. So that's your stable coin that will keep the US dollar dominance running for another, I don't know, four or five years.

Starting point is 02:51:29 I'm not sure. No, more than that, but let me ask you a question based on what he said. Now, a stable coin represents a stored value dollar someplace, usually in the form of a treasury. Yeah, pretty much always. So there's a dollar, we'll call it dollar X. Yes. And there's a stable coin that represents that dollar. Yes.

Starting point is 02:51:51 So there's one to one. That stable coin and that dollar are interlinked. Yes. What's that got to do with crypto? Nothing. Why did he say crypto? He said crypto. Because it's a bait and switch and a scam. And President Trump lied, lied to the Bitcoin community. Oh, I'm going to create a Bitcoin treasury. Oh, Bitcoin. It's all going to be Bitcoin.

Starting point is 02:52:16 But remember when I played those clips from him at the Bitcoin conference, he said, end stablecoin. And that was this always the gambit and get everyone on board and now with this next bill which should be voted on this coming week or next week it's going to literally allow any as we call it shit coin in the universe to be created all kinds of nonsense which we put under the banner of tokenization and what we are doing the very good bill that may get voted on in the Senate. It's a very fine bill.

Starting point is 02:52:49 Very good. A very fine bill. Very fine. Very good. Very fine bill. And what we are doing, the very good bill that may get voted on in the Senate next week, week after, that will give us, will bring crypto and digital assets and make the US the leader. So this is where the leader in AI, just as we are the leader in biomedicine.

Starting point is 02:53:13 We will become the leader in this. All things I hate, biomedicine, crypto and AI. You know what he left out? Quantum. On the technology side, and here, led by Treasury, led by some great leadership in the Senate, and this is bipartisan, there may be 16 Democrats who are going to vote with Republicans on this bill. So it tells you how the inclination toward crypto was there. It was just the White House, the previous administration, wanted to kill it.

Starting point is 02:53:51 So once we get this bill passed, the US, we can put our best standards and practices out to the world. It won't be something that happens in a Caribbean island. It won't be something that is used for nefarious purposes or primarily used for nefarious purposes in the Middle East. This is all so disappointing. Liars, liars. President Trump lied. It's lies. I cannot support him anymore for anything. Lies, I tell you. You should have voted for Kamala.

Starting point is 02:54:32 Who says I voted for Trump? I always vote for the Rent Too High guy who didn't show up. Well, he's dead, I think, isn't he? No, I don't think he's dead. That's how he died. We are unaffiliated. But I thought it was great. The president's the president's like, ah, it's gonna be Bitcoin, Bitcoin. He wasn't saying Ethereum. The more you talk about this, the more I keep thinking, I've said it before, you haven't really disagreed with me,

Starting point is 02:54:55 that this is a bypass, this is a cheap way to get around Swift. It's correctness. I told you that on the last show. I told you that's what this is. I think I told you and you told me back. Oh, okay. You're the stablecoin genius. No, I'm not a stablecoin, but I just see everything as a scam to get Russia back into the scheme of things because they can use stablecoins.

Starting point is 02:55:16 They can't use SWIFT. And it's cutting out the Europeans, getting rid of these. They get the Europeans. Yes, that's a big part of it. Get them out of the picture. They're annoying. Luckily, there is one senator in the United States Congress who has proposed the bill just for you. John C. Dvorak, your man, the hoodie of the hour. Senator John Fetterman wants to make it illegal for businesses to refuse cash as payment. He introduced the Payment Choice Act last week. That legislation requires businesses to accept cash or provide a device that converts cash

Starting point is 02:55:50 to a prepaid card without fees. The bill would also allow businesses to refuse payments made with $50 bills or larger. The city of Philadelphia banned cashless businesses back in 2019. The decision was designed to protect people who do not have bank accounts or credit cards. Or who keep their phone in a drawer.

Starting point is 02:56:09 Or whatever, and there's a lot of people that like cash. And Berkeley has a law against this too, because, and the argument they use, of course, is the pitiful wealth, the poor homeless. They haven't got a car. What are they supposed to do when they wanna buy something? They get some money, they're out begging for money, they're getting cash, they don't have a car. What are they supposed to do when they want to buy something? They got some money. They're out begging for money. They're getting cash.

Starting point is 02:56:26 They don't have a little card reader on them at the corner. Oh, first of all, all homeless people today have a phone and all they need is a QR code on their cup. You can donate some- A QR. Yeah, well, you know, maybe you should go do some homeless outreach and get them to get modern modernized stable coin Yeah, on no agenda in the morning Yes, cash, the new Fedor coin.

Starting point is 02:57:07 Alright, we have some good end of show mixes coming up that I'm excited about. And we have some meetups to discuss. We have a couple of nights and of course John's tip of the day after we get through thanking our donors, the rest of our list for today, $50 and above. Yeah, we don't have too many. Oh, really?

It's to convert product. It's to steal content. No. Yes. That's what handbrake is. It's a convert product. It's convert one.

Starting point is 03:09:09 Okay. I'm sorry. It's not to steal content. It's to convert product from one format that is possible. To another. For example, here's a good use for it. You own, you own, I don't know, a lot of people don't like this idea, but I, I've always been a fan of it.

Starting point is 03:10:14 Do you wanna do what? And you tell it and it makes the conversion, doesn't take that long, actually it's pretty fast. And next thing you know, I've got the movie playing on my phone. So if anyone out there receives a file from John that has Academy watermarked, then you know how he did it. Handbrake is an outstanding product.
