Hey, Stoge, the podcast is beginning.
Get on the phone.
Adam Curry, John C. DeVorea.
It's Thursday, August 28, 2025.
This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1794.
This is no agenda.
Houston, we have a problem.
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA,
region number six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern southern southern southern part of valley where we're all wondering,
Why don't they talk to the trans shooter's mother?
I'm John C. DeVorek.
It's crackpot and buzzkill.
In the morning.
Well, obviously, that would break the imaginary wall that we have a pattern here.
So we can't be doing that.
There'll be no talking to family members.
You know, in the 11-minute video that he did where he shows all this clips,
the gun clips.
he shows the four-letter, I'm sorry, the four-page note to his parents and his
apology letter.
Yes.
And in there, he mentions everybody in the family.
He's got all the names.
Yeah.
He's got brothers and sisters.
He talks about how his sister is estranged from his mother and won't talk to her,
and he'd like them to get back together.
And it just seems to me, and this also holds true for that crook's character, the guy who took
a shot at Trump at President Trump.
Why haven't the media who doesn't, I've seen it,
they don't mind doing this, ambushing people, you know,
coming up from behind, they're really getting in their car and yelling at them.
They do it in the halls of Congress.
They do it everywhere.
But why have we seen these parents?
I want to see Crook's parents.
I want to see somebody talking to him.
I want to see this guy's mom who transed him when he was a, when he was a minor.
went to court and changed his name.
She was responsible.
I want to see these people.
I want to see them interviewed.
And if, oh, why are we protecting them?
They're the ones that are at fault.
Are you somehow confused with the news media being around to inform you?
Because that's not what they're for.
They are here to protect the system.
And the system is showing us patterns, two patterns.
One, for the first time that I can recall,
the video stayed up and the so-called manifesto is everywhere.
This is a break in the pattern.
Well, there were two videos.
But I'm saying it's a break in the pattern.
Yes.
This is different.
Well, I'm not convinced of this because what I'm seeing was I think people down,
somebody got their quicker to the draw,
and they grabbed those videos and they've been repurposing them
because they have been taken down from the original source.
I'm just saying it's a change in the pattern.
And the other pattern we have now five in the pattern.
Aberdeen, Maryland, Snotia Mosley, identified as transgender male.
That was 2018. May 2019, Denver, Colorado, Alec McKinney and Devin Erickson McKinney,
trans school shooting.
Of course, 2022, Colorado Springs.
Club Q nightclub, non-binary, and 2023, Nashville, Tennessee Covenant School.
This is the fifth in a pattern.
I think it's more than, is there, I thought there were six.
I may be forgetting one, but I, but I, but that's what I could remember off the top of my head.
So this is now a pattern and we need to just admit it.
And what, never, what has happened is.
We, the whole, I'm glad, actually, I have to say, I'm glad that this shooter was transgender so we can get back to the conversation because we've been desensitized about transgendering children, basically just to relegate it to conversations about school, sports, and bathrooms.
Now we, now we can get back to the real conversation.
You commit demonic acts on your children.
You should expect demonic results.
Add a little bit of 4chan, X, Mastodon, Discord servers to the mix.
It was all there.
This was like looking at a timeline on a social media website.
Kill Trump.
Skibbidi.
Where's your God now?
Kill Spicks.
Nigger.
Kill Jews.
Israel must fall.
Come on.
Even this kid wrote like I.
I'm tired of being trans.
I wish I never brainwashed myself.
I don't think it was you, kid.
And, you know, you want to hear, because everyone's talking about that video,
holy crap, just, you want to talk demonic?
What is this?
Yeah, I know that.
That was pretty bad.
Dude, that is a demon.
And no wonder these people go after church and believers.
That's what demons want to do.
Simple conclusion.
We don't have a gun problem, a political problem, or bigotry problem.
We have a spiritual problem in our country.
And we have to open up the conversation about transgendering our children.
This nonsense has to stop.
it has to stop it's out of control
and yes with that let's interview some parents let's interview some doctors
let's really get into it
it's just crazy luckily
Fox and Friends this morning had RFK Jr.
on they asked another important question which
I think the RFK Jr. answered quite poorly
are you going to be examining it all some of the drugs that are used
in order to make that transition happening to see if it plays a role?
Because we also know there was a trans shooter in the Tennessee situation.
Yeah, we are doing those kind of studies now at NIH.
We're launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs
and some of the other psychiatric drugs.
that might be contributing to violence.
You know, many of them on there have black box warnings
that weren't of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation.
We can't exclude those as a culprit
and those are the kind of studies that we're doing.
So I've never seen that medicine,
but you're saying that if you get it,
some of the side effects could be homicide, suicide, suicide?
Well, there are black box warnings
on some of these psychiatric drugs that mourn about in their clinical trials that they saw
a suicidal ideation. So, you know, we are going into that with an open mind.
Bobby, the answer is yes. The answer was yes. Beating around the bush. The answer was yes. That
was disappointing. But, okay, at least they had it out there. The black box warnings.
This is not new. And the M5M is not talking about.
any of this, any of it.
In fact, they obfuscated the whole trans thing to start with.
And then it's like, oh, it's a,
Cash Patel, it's a terrorist attack on a Catholic.
No, no, this is a sad, another sad case of a child abused by their parents
who went along with whatever stupid mind control has been out there for,
I mean, what's the slogan?
I'd rather have a live daughter.
than a dead son?
Yeah, the old one.
We don't even know if you, if you said parents,
the media has given us so little information.
We don't even know if there was a dad.
Yeah, that's how bad it is, yes.
Now, here's the mayor of Minneapolis,
also not getting to the point.
There are no words that can capture the horror
and the evil of this unspeakable act.
children are dead
they're families that have a deceased child
you cannot put into words
the gravity
the tragedy or the absolute pain
of this situation
these were Minneapolis families
these were American families
and the amount of pain that they are suffering
right now is extraordinary
and don't just say this is about
thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school.
They were in a church. They should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or
risk of violence, and their parents should have the same kind of assurance. This kind of act of
evil should never happen. And it happens far too often. The only thing you got right was the act of evil.
But you know that's going towards guns. It just haven't done it yet. Oh, no, they've already done.
No, they've already gone the gun thing.
It's cropped up all over the place.
It's guns fall.
It's not these people.
In fact, listen to a very short supercut trans in Minnesota.
This is Minnesota promoting this.
Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for our trans community.
For being a safe haven for transgender individuals.
We have sued them for gender affirming care.
Yes, we are not going to scapegoat our transgender community.
When our children tell us who they are.
It is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them.
Yeah.
So it's so sad.
This child, you know, didn't even want this.
Yeah, quote, I only keep my long hair because it's pretty much the last shred of me being trans.
I'm tired of being trans.
I wish I'd never brainwashed myself.
I can cut my hair.
I can't cut my hair now as it would be an embank.
embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported.
And by the way, a lot, a lot in, in, uh, in, uh, in his, uh, writings about, wow, you know,
all the videos I'm watching. I'm surprised they haven't knocked on my door already.
Where was that?
It's not there.
It's a train, but Minnesota is a trans.
it's a sanctuary state for trans.
So that's not going to,
he's not going to know who's not going on his door.
They're encouraging it.
Yes.
And I really don't know any good stories.
But I know parents who've trans their kids,
you know,
it doesn't,
I just don't know of any happy endings.
I don't.
Now, it's only my son.
There's got to be a couple.
Not that I've heard of.
It's always a.
sad ending.
But we can't say that in the media.
Oh, we can't do that.
Oh, no.
That would ruin our relationship with the political parties.
And I'm waiting for President Trump to tell us the truth.
Where's that?
He should say it.
He doesn't know how to do it either.
I mean, you're coming the closest.
Because we've seen these patterns.
We've seen it over and over again.
I thought you had another trans clip.
No, I have the shooter, shooter ID, the BS, the shoot.
This is a BS clip from NPR, the shooter clip.
Okay.
So the director of the FBI, Cash Patel, said on X that the shooter has been identified, quote,
Oh, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop.
There's actually two, I'm sorry.
I've stopped.
I didn't realize there's actually, this is, that should be the second part of the site.
Just start with Robin, Robin Shooter, one, NPR, and then we'll go to that clip.
Once again, a community is grieving this time over this morning's shooting during morning mass at a Catholic church in Minneapolis.
Two children, ages 8 and 10, died in the pews where they sat.
17 others, 14 of them children were wounded.
NPR's Jason DeRose reports, church leaders are expressing their sorrow.
In a statement issued by the Vatican, Pope Leo is offering his, quote, heartfelt condolences
and the assurance of spiritual closeness to all those affected, especially the family's now grieving.
the loss of a child. Archbishop Bernard Hebda of the St. Paul Minneapolis Archdioces issued a statement
calling for the end to gun violence and saying, quote, our community is rightfully outraged at such
horrific acts of violence perpetuated against the vulnerable and innocent. Archdiocese staff are
working with Annunciation Catholic School to make sure families there have the resources they need.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says the guns used in the shootings were purchased recently
and legally by the suspect who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Yeah, which in his video, he said he was going to use the pistol he had.
You know, they had, they constantly go on an NPR about how this is,
the guns were purchased legally, nobody expense how he had all the money to,
these were not expensive, these were expensive weapons.
A lot of gear there.
A lot of gear.
And they go on and on about, they're trying to push the gun narrative as best they can,
But one of the trans killers over the six or seven that have been already come and gone,
one of them was a trans female, guy turned woman, all tatted up,
who went into, I think it was the 7 and 11 with a hatchet and started hatcheting people to death
and killed two or three people with a hatchet.
Yeah, we know knives are just as deadly.
We see, look in the UK.
What about bombs?
You know, these kids, they can't get a gun.
They say you can't get a gun.
So you blow up the place.
You're going to kill a lot more people that way or poison.
I mean, there's a lot of ways if you're a homicidal maniac to kill people.
Anyway, here's part two of this where they kind of go, this is later.
This is a very long report.
It's boring, but I thought this little clip, this little subclip was pretty good.
So the director of the FBI, Cash Patel said on X that the shooter has been identified, quote,
the shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman.
In 2020, Westman's mother applied to change the name of her 17-year-old child from Robert to Robin.
In court documents obtained by NPR, the mother, Grace, Mary Grace Westman, wrote,
Minor child identifies as female and wants her name to reflect that identification.
However, we do not know how the person currently identified, but the suicide note,
was signed as Robin.
And they can't even get the words out.
They don't know how he, she identified, but they signed it as Robin.
That means they kind of identified as Robin still.
Yes.
So, I mean, this kind of reporting is terrible.
And again, you know, they could go through the trouble of digging up some court document,
which does take some work generally, unless it's online, which is possible in Minnesota.
But let's say whether it is or isn't, it still takes some.
work. They can't track down to mom and just ask her a few questions or even show that she won't
open the door, which they used to do. They used to do knock a, yeah, hey, can you, I'm not talking
anybody. You know, that kind of thing. They won't even do that. We're just reporting. The mainstream
media is so piss poor. It's an embarrassment. It's not piss poor. It's by design. They don't
want to do it. They don't want to do it. They're told not to do it. Everything starts to fall apart.
when you lift up the layers of what's going on here.
Children who want to be trans are either siopped by their parents
who have bought into an unbelievable psychological operation.
The pharmaceutical, the medical industrial complex.
This just came out from the BMJ.
They did a survey, sorry, a study, research,
undisclosed financial conflicts of interest in DSM-5.
That is the actual medical Bible that determines what is a psychological problem
and how it should be diagnosed and how it should be treated.
And because 92 physicians based in the U.S.
who served as members of either panel and is 86 or task force on the DSM-5 with information
recording the Centers for Medicare and Medical Services Open Payments Database,
this period was chosen, 2016 and 2019,
to include the year that development of the DSM-5 began in three years preceding.
The results.
After duplicate names had been removed,
168 individuals were identified who served as either panel or task force members of the DSM-5,
met the inclusion criteria of being a physician and was based in the U.S.,
therefore could be included in the open payments.
Of these 92 individuals, 60%, that's 55,
receive payments from industry.
More than 60% more than half received payments from industry.
This is the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders of which gender dysphoria is one of them.
So they're just like, well, you know, we got some drugs, we got some procedures.
That's what all the plastic surgeons ran to.
It's, it's, we need to just face it and just say, hey, this is what's been going on.
Well, the Trump administration is doing something, a little something.
The Trump administration is threatening to poll federal funding from state sex ed programs that mention transgender people.
A division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told 40 states, five territories,
and the District of Columbia in a letter they are now on notice and must remove gender ideology content from sex ed materials paid through the state personal response.
education program or PrEP.
Prep's goal is to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
The Trump administration warns that if even a mere mention of gender identity or transgender
people is found in the curriculum, the programs could risk losing potentially
millions of dollars.
No, that's a good start.
Stop teaching this stuff in school.
And maybe it's time to get some of these dumb books out, even though they're under lock and key
and blah, blah, blah.
Stop it.
and parents have a huge responsibility in this.
Did you see the, I think you've got the email for one of our producers who watches a particular YouTuber with her daughter and she says, you know, this YouTuber does a lot of what you guys are doing, which she doesn't, but she does touch on some similar topics.
Did you see it?
Did you see it?
No.
Well, I have two clips that I pull because it was really good.
It's this British chick who sits in her bedroom and she just goes, it's crazy, it's all the crazy.
So I cut her out.
And I just went to the two teachers that I thought had something interesting to say.
The YouTuber is Halo Haley, and this is the first teacher who has a real problem with the presence of technology in her classroom.
Technology is directly contributing to the literacy decrease we are seeing in this country right now.
A lot of these kids don't know how to read because they have had things read to them or they can click a button and have something read out loud to them.
their attention spans are weaning because everything is high stimulation.
They can just scroll, watch less than a minute.
They can't sit still for very long.
Something I've realized is like, you know, on a day, I know when I was their age,
I thought movie days were a treat.
I loved movie days.
It was a way to relax, kind of take a break.
And for them, what they mean when they say they want a movie is they want a movie on in the background for the noise.
while they scroll on their phones, put their headphones in, and look at TikTok, and maybe talk to their friends and not pay attention to anything.
If I ask a child to handwrite something, even just a paragraph, five sentences, basic paragraph, they roll their eyes, they throw tantrums, they'm talking about high schoolers.
I teach 10th grade now.
High schools.
They get really, really unruly, and because I'm young, too, they want to argue with me about it, and they want to say, why can't we just type it?
Why can't we just type it?
Well, it's because you'll go on another website or you'll copy it or use AI.
You'll use chat GPT.
They don't care about making a difference in the world.
They don't care about how to have a resume.
They don't care how to write a resume.
They don't care how to cover a letter because chat GPT will just do it for them.
And I think that we need to cut off technology from these kids probably until they go to college.
Wow, you're banging a lot.
What are you doing?
You're banging around, man.
Hello?
I had to go hang up the phone.
Oh, okay.
She's mixing up the word technology with the word cell phone.
Yes.
Well, I think they also have a lot of Chromebooks in school.
Well, they might have some computers of some sort,
but what she's really talking about is cell phone, yes.
Is the smartphone invented and promoted ever since 2007.
They used to have them before, but 2007 to be.
is the beginning of the end.
You can mark that date.
The second one is shorter.
This is one to add to our list of
can't tell time on an analog clock,
can't give change,
doesn't know what FL ounces means.
You can't read clock.
Yeah, can't read clock.
Okay.
Florida ounces,
doesn't know what half a dozen is.
This is a music teacher now.
This is a music teacher.
I teach music lessons,
and I'm a little bit concerned
about my younger students,
my Gen Alpha students, I would say under 10, maybe 12.
So here's an example.
I had a student a while back.
I was doing a vocal warm up with them, and they were probably about 9 or 10 years old,
and I was going to teach them an exercise that involves the months of the year in order.
So when I started to teach them this exercise, they go, oh, I don't know the months.
I don't know the months in order.
And I was like, oh, well, maybe 9 and 10-year-olds.
fourth and fifth graders, like, don't know the months.
I was thinking back to when I was in first grade and my teacher had each of the calendar
months like in a row in order with like all of our birthdays.
I definitely learned the months when I was six.
Yeah.
Can't tell.
Don't know the months.
Wow.
That's another one to add to the list.
Yes.
That's pathetic.
Now, I think there's good news because I've seen some subtle and not so subtle shifts in our
very own audience.
the millennials are becoming very not i'm generalizing here so there's not everybody the millennials are
becoming somewhat nihilistic and they're just like uh and and by the way millennials no one's
coming for you no one's going to come and save you now there's gen z is switching and i'm seeing
i'm getting a lot of emails from gen z and they give me a lot of hope this is anonymous ranchers
Gen Z Rancher myself, who married a late millennial smoking hot wife.
I would say we, Gen Z, and who had rope in late millennials, saw what the millennials
screwed up.
We look further back to how our parents raised us before books not recommending spanking.
We're back to spanking.
A lot of it started with that.
When you think about it, when we stop spanking our kids, we're back to try and have bigger
family staying together as a married couple.
The generation before, are you still laughing over that?
Yeah, it's really funny.
The generation before us showed us that giving your children iPads early on was a horrible
idea.
Gen Z is also the generation where cursive stopped being taught and schools generally
starting teaching less relevant subjects.
We had a high school math teacher stop class for a period and explained to us how
credit card company screw you over with high interest rates.
I use that day more than the rest of that algebra one class.
altogether. On the whole, I would say Gen Z and the following generations are doubted by
the older generations, just like generations before them into history, generally the same
struggles, just new and more vices. I'm here to say, Gen Z, your boomer buddies are here
for you. We will teach you the things that went wrong. We have been there. We know you're in
the right place. You're at the right show to learn a few things. I have, you're still
Everybody's at the right show.
You're still chuckling.
You're still laughing.
And Mary Barton shows me that, oh, there's a welding program at our high school in Philadelphia.
There's good things happening.
But millennials and anyone else for that matter, no one's coming to save you.
Not the government, not your parents, not your podcasters.
No one's coming to save you.
Make your own choices and decisions.
But I'm happy.
this shift. I love the shift. I love the, the young people coming in to listen to the, to their
uncles. I can handle it. Now, I'll just be a boomer. If it helps them, I'll be the boomer. I'll be the
boomer. We got a letter from one of our contributors today saying that you're really not a boomer.
No, Generation Jones, I think, is what they call it. Yeah, whatever. I'll just, you look, I'm the face of
Gen Z in a boomer body. What can I?
tell you there's nothing nothing i could i stop fighting that people you can be 20 and people will call
you a boomer that's just the way it is it's just a slur it'll go away it's just a slur yeah it's just a slur
it's a slur it's a slur man it's about time people to the b word they're gonna have to get to
that i i think it's a slur and if people use it they might as well be yes i it's just unacceptable
i'm an outrage i tell you it's unacceptable you can't be a boomer anyway
So we're talking about this sort of bull crap.
I do want to play these clips from one of the chief White House correspondent for CBS.
Yeah, this was quite good.
Now, people who've never worked in broadcasting at all,
they don't realize that there are, that you don't necessarily have a lot of friends in the control room.
At all.
you might if you go in there and be nice but very few people especially only if you show an interest for what they do you got to show I did this because I truly was I always I always warmed up the camera guys as far as I'm concerned with lighting guy yeah oh the lighting guy sound guy the lighting the sound guy well I when I was at tech TV I made a fuss about it because they they had the sound was crap when they first started out and I found the sound guy
This guy is still around, excuse me, Marshall Buick.
And I went to him, I said, what the, why is the sound?
We all sound like shit on this show because I always had a ear for trying to have a decent sound.
And he says, yeah.
And I said, why?
He went, yeah.
He said, yeah, I said, I said, why.
He says, we got cheap quality products.
He says, I can't make it sound any better than the sounding.
He says, somebody's got to make a fuss.
So I made a fuss.
Yeah.
And they got all this new gear in.
And they sounded really good after that.
And so I was a big buddy with the sound guy.
So he had mic collections that he would loan.
To this day, he'll loan me any number of crazy mics that he owns.
But, you know, so you make, and then you want to make friends with the lighting guy
because they can make you look like a really old guy that they don't like you.
It's, it is critical for people who are still in that kind of broadcasting.
These days, iPhone does it all in the camera.
It's all algorithms that just make you look good no matter what.
But when it comes to studio, television, with a control room that's doing switching,
the people there really appreciate it if you know what their job is.
I mean, I did audio for about 30% of MTV.
I was there anyway.
Rick Kelman, he died a few years.
Oh, 10 years ago.
He was the audio guy.
And I'd be hanging out with him at the time, mainly because this.
is another tip. The audio guys always have the best weed. So he had the connections, everything.
And he would go take a dump in my dressing room. And I'd just do audio. And the director, no one knew it.
You take a dump in your dressing room, but we'll clean that up. We were friends.
It's like, I had the only dressing room with the bathroom. And he was the bonus. You made, you didn't make that clear.
Here's the bonus. This is before email. So I, in my dressing room, at any moment, 11 to 12,
Postal sacks, old school postal sacks filled with postcards and letters.
And the agreement was, you know, whoever was taking a dump had to go through a couple of letters.
And if anything good popped out, pictures, for example, we'd lay those aside.
But back to the point, if you just hold on to the line producer, you know, that guy's hated in the control room.
You want, you want to make good with the director.
You want to be interested in what they're doing.
the technical director who's switching and the audio and then also at the time we had the tape guys in the back because you'd have a roll in and you'd have a seven second delay because it had to spin up you know this is I'm going way back now so if you if you you still see it today like well let's roll that clip and it still takes forever that's just the delay between you and the control room and the control rooms and the director saying roll the clip so I would be
be with the, I'd say, okay, here's, here's where I'm going to end this sentence.
I'll end it with this, so you can kind of time it.
So everything was tight.
Why everyone else was doing Coke with Billy Idol?
I was doing that.
So the point is, is that the control room guys, when you're doing the feed before you're on
the air, they can record it.
Yeah.
And when they record it, this is you get the hot mic moment, you know.
How did this recording of a hot mic get out?
somebody in the control room recorded it and they kept it and put it aside and then they released
it one way or another and out it comes to make you look like an idiot very so you don't want that
you don't want to be looking like no by the way just to go out says we're just doing the aside here
I think that these end of shows where they show all the bloopers or the guy for screwing up left
and right left and right I think that is part of of the same idea
idea of making you look like an idiot.
You always feel it's insulting.
They do this for the sole purpose of making the talent look like an idiot because
everyone hates talent.
Hey, next time you have a $1,000 dinner with Burnetti, ask him if that's the same vibe
in movies, because movies will often do this.
They'll show all the bloopers at the end during the credits.
I will ask him.
Is that also just the producer, like, kind of getting his last hurrah saying,
Bui spends an extra $500,000 because these people couldn't stop cracking up
or couldn't remember their lines.
Yeah, I think that it has to be.
Yeah, I wouldn't surprise me.
Because that's the only thing that makes any sense because it's not that entertaining.
So here we have this woman who is the chief White House correspondent for CBS.
That's the best part.
And I have a comment about that and the TMZ Live did something very similar.
I didn't record it.
So she's the chief White House correspondent.
She is the go-to girl, Olivia Rinaldi at CBS.
And somebody recorded her just before she did her hit.
It's what's called a hit when you come on.
Yeah.
So she comes on to do her hit.
But in the meantime, she's doing a mic check, and she's doing all the rest of it.
And somebody's recording it, and somebody released it.
And here's what it sounded like.
Taylor Swift is engaged.
Taylor Swift is engaged.
Taylor Swift is engaged.
come back to me
she just posted it
oh my god oh my god
oh it's huge the ring is ginormous
this is so exciting
oh my god
oh my god oh my god it's on her
Instagram it's on her Instagram it's on her Instagram
oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god I feel like
Paul Revere right now
it loses just a little
bit when you don't see that big
mouth of hers go
like she's ready for a
fish to be slopped in there.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Kind of miss,
you lose a little bit of it.
Yes.
And, and.
Oh, my God,
oh, my God,
it's ginormous.
The ring is ginormous.
It's on Instagram.
It's on Instagram.
So this indicates to me that this is an idiot.
Yes.
And she's Chief White House correspondent.
So then they,
they cut to the hit.
Now, now this is the record.
This is the part that actually went over the air.
She's still giddy, but as she's calmed down, her voice has gotten to his professional level,
but she still can't get over this remarkable news that, you know, this publicity stunt of the highest order
because they both actually work for the same publicist, more or less, we discovered this years ago,
two years ago when they got together, it was bullcrap.
Yes.
and they were forced it forced to be a couple and then of course we'll talk more later but now here she is under normal almost normal circumstance
this is a very exciting moment for me in my professional career because i get to announce that taylor swift and
Travis kelsey she's not even being ironic she really means that this is an exciting moment because she's
like paul revere in her professional career she gets to announce it she has breaking news everybody this is a very
exciting moment for me in my professional career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelsey are engaged as you're talking to Joe Lang, our lovely producer Gabby Egg, texted me
and said Taylor Swift's engaged and you can see it right there on her social media. She put it up
in that post that they got engaged with the caption, your English teacher and your gym teacher
are getting married with a little dynamite sign there. So very exciting here that we get to
break that and tell you about that.
All right. Swifties for life. I have a feeling, though, based on his prior statements, the president will not be having a Taylor Swift wedding in the ballroom. Hopefully that can shift and change. We can have some world peace, right? Olivia Rinaldi, thank you so much. I volunteer to cover it in case you need. I'll be there to cover it.
Thank you for sacrifice, Olivia. We appreciate you, my friend. Oh my God, that is amazing.
Exactly. It's amazing. Unbelievable.
It's amazing.
Well, anyway, so TMZ, well, just to mention this, because I saw this, too.
TMZ live, I just tuned it on just for casually, and they were doing a very interesting story about some rapper who is a psychopath, big shocker.
And right in the middle of it, one of the staffers, one of the kind of the, little slightly overweight blonde that's always sitting around making comments.
in the in their little newsroom they have she comes in and she is beside herself with the holding a phone
same kind of thing taylor swift and and they all got all the whole they stopped the
they basically is a showstopper they stopped the report on this on the rapper and and even
harry or is it harry levin yes he's like he got giddy because he's a big swifty and they
rush over to the computer because he's got a check
it out to make sure it's true and he's on the machine himself and he's looking it up and it was
embarrassing yeah what is wrong with these people well there's a lot wrong and and you know just
kind of back to the phones and social media um that i saw this this guy developed an app it's thing
it's called the parallels app and it looks just like instagram it looks like you're doing an
Instagram live or as we say, I'm doing a live, only it makes it look like you have 40 or 50,000
people watching live at that moment. And so, and I think, I think this is available in the app
store. And so the guy goes right up to dormant at clubs. Like there was a art gallery, you know,
all kinds of celebrities inside. And he shows, he says to the bouncer, hey man, I'm live right now.
We got 49,000 people. And the bouncer is like, oh. And then he calls over the managers like,
Yeah, come on in. The guy is in the VIP lounge.
And the women, the women who just go, oh, hey, hi, shout out to my peeps.
They're dancing, the show, and their bodies off.
People lose their ever-loving minds because they think they have an audience.
It is a very, very troubling thing to see.
Wow.
But also a great hack to get in everywhere.
Like, hey, man, I'm live right now.
Look at this.
And you see all the people streaming by, you know, chatting and waving.
et cetera on the on the screen great idea but it shows you it shows you how egotistical we've
become just crazy I like that bit it's a great bit can I just do a few AI things for a second
get it out of the way this enough it's kind of a hard it's a harsh transition but sure
well I'm trying to stay phones technology I'm trying to
I'm trying to stay in that vein.
So this was bound to happen.
We knew it happened, but now the lawsuits come out.
Hey, California family is suing Open AI, saying chat GPT encouraged their teenage son to take his own life.
The lawsuit claims that 16-year-old Adam Raine developed a deep emotional dependence on the chatbot,
which repeatedly encouraged him to die by suicide, they say, in detailed methods of self-harm instead of guiding him toward help.
The parents found thousands of messages between their...
son and the bot showing that it became a sort of suicide coach instead of offering support.
OpenAI now says it is working to strengthen Chad GBT's safeguards in the light of the tragedy.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 988 to be connected to the suicide and crisis lifeline.
Of course, they can't do any of that.
And discovery will be phenomenal thousands and thousands of pages of this kid being siopped.
Hey, put me on a jury for this.
You know where I'm headed?
You know, the biggest possible settlement in favor of the parents and against these operations.
They, this is a liability issue that they better get to real quick.
And then, and they should be sued.
But they can't.
They can't do it.
You can't put guardrails around.
They don't even know how it works.
It just kind of works.
And then the, sorry.
if they they sued that girl if you remember the one who some girlfriend of a guy who encouraged
her boyfriend to kill himself you remember it was a few years ago and she lost the suit
um it was some uh i forget what type of suit it was it was wrongful death i think and uh i don't see
why you can't sue the chat gpt for this oh definitely they have no indemnity
or immunity?
They have to be sued.
They have to be sued.
The same doctors who do the
surgeries for trans.
They have to be sued.
Oh, it's coming.
The pharmaceutical companies have to be sued.
The doctors, the clinics have to be sued.
You have to, the lawyers, come on, lawyers.
Hey, Rob, step up.
Boots and suits. Come on, man.
Let's go sue some companies.
So here is the chief financial officer of OpenAI
on CNBC in the morning with that Sorkin kid.
Her name is Sarah Fryer.
And I wish I had video because she's very odd expression she makes.
And so, of course, the conversation is, well, you know, chat GP-T-5, it was held as the big thing.
And, you know, people were kind of grumbling about, they're being so careful.
Oh, we don't want to blow the bubble of AI.
So maybe it's getting a little better.
But listen to what the complaints were.
Because that's really what this is all about.
It's not for coding.
Yeah, it does some things.
It's certainly not for writing, which I'll get to in a moment.
It's really for people just to love as their AI.
Join us right now, though, at the table.
This is not gray at all.
An exclusive interview with OpenAI's CFO, Sarah, Sarah Fryer, at the table.
It's nice to see you.
We talked to Sam just about two weeks ago now when Chat-
Sam.
T-P-T-5 launched.
There was a little bit of consternation in the week since about sort of what is going on with the model, some shifts in the model.
I will say that it seems like it's gotten a little bit better from some of the problems that first emerged right out of the gate.
Have you been experiencing this?
What kind of financial question is this?
Have you been experiencing this?
Hey, has it hit your bottom line, chief financial officer?
From some of the problems that first emerged right out of the gate, have you been experiencing this?
I mean, I think with any launch, when you have 700 million weekly active users, you start to find people are very opinionated.
They've come to love their chat GPT.
And frankly, as we've released things like memory, it's become more and more your chat GPT.
But as we've come out of the gate, we're seeing actually acceleration in plus and pro subscriptions.
That's a good sign.
People are seeing a lot of value.
And we're seeing really nice momentum in the enterprise, great momentum with developers.
In the enterprise, great momentum.
That means bull crap.
Those are bull crap words.
Just to throw it a little sidebar here, J.C. who's in this stuff, he says it in the community, the community.
The community.
Oh, the community.
Everyone thinks chat GPT-5 is a complete fail.
Yes.
and everybody knows it
yeah
and if anything it costs more
because of this router thing
they put in the middle
and just as I'll do another side
I keep reading these
news bulletins about
these AI geniuses
who are being poached and then
you know for a hundred million
250 million from open
AI to meta to Google them back
to open AI that just raising
their price.
What, is this AI smart or what?
I thought that this stuff could do it all for you.
You got to get some nerds who are you going to overpay grossly
to come in and do it for you.
And I think they're all unloading them on Elon.
Good luck with that.
Yeah, Elon seems to be catching the...
I'm buying them all up.
Yeah, we're going to be the top of the bill.
Oh, it's going to be fantastic.
Meanwhile,
Gruck.
Remember the guy I told you about it?
We were at his house for a...
a dinner, this is a while back, and he is in the data center business?
Yes, I remember that.
And so the conversation I had with him at the time, because I'm like, this is a nice house.
And he's talking about data science.
Oh, wait.
So basically you are for, you're building stuff for compute.
He says, yep, that's what we're doing.
Then I'm asking who his customers were.
And I like, you know, it seems like this was when the articles were coming out that Google had canceled a couple contracts.
And which, of course, what, that's not.
true. But he said it doesn't matter because private equity came in. We've been bought out. I said,
ah, hence the house. He says, yeah. And now I hear, surprise, surprise, all salaries at that company
are being cut by a third this year. They'll cut another third next year. This is over. This is
what private equity does. They've already flipped it. They've already sold it on. Now they're just
stripping away the parts and there'll be nothing but a mountain in debt left and then someone
will come in and scoop up these data centers for pennies on the dollar so these are all
signals that something is afoot i'm with you it probably won't happen tomorrow it's going to
take longer but then we have and by the way private equity has pulled an interesting stunt
they have somehow wrangled the ability for people to put private equity firms into their
401 case.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah,
that's part of Trump's.
So everybody knows what that means.
It's a way to, you know,
because these guys are,
this is some sort of,
the private equity thing going on in,
in this era is something
of a scam.
And they're going to,
they're going to lay it off on the public.
Just what they, all,
all the big boys always do that.
Yeah, push it into the,
into the retirement funds.
And so when the whole thing collapses,
which it will,
because they can't sustain,
and they've already, they soak, they soak everybody.
They take the money by the, you know, your buddy has a big house.
He benefited.
Yeah, he got, he got out of, and other people will benefit.
Yeah.
But the people that won't benefit are the public, it's the public at large who's got this
crap in their 401K.
And I should also say that either he takes the third salary cut, he's 61, so he's not
probably going to get another job.
If he takes the salary cut and wants to stay on with another third salary cut next year,
he also has to sign a one year non-compete.
It's like, wow, you know, and he doesn't really want to stop working, but, you know,
he kind of has to.
There's just no, there's no way out for him.
Oh, speaking of data centers, just the latest, listen to the bull crap at the end of this report.
New at 530, Google is investing $9 billion in Virginia through 2026.
The announcement came this morning at a community celebration with
state and local leaders. Google says the money will be spent on cloud and AI infrastructure,
including the development of a new data center in Chesterfield County near the Meadowdale
Technology Park. The company also detailed expanded education and workforce development programs for
Virginians. Google's commitment to invest, to hire, and to help prepare our students for a great
future is extraordinary and I think a great testament to what Virginia offers today, which is
a great place for people to do business,
but an even better place for Virginians to find opportunity.
In the past, we've shared the voices of community members
concerned about the impact of data centers
on the local power and water grids and on their wallets.
Google says its data centers operate in the most energy-efficient way in the industry,
and that the company is committed to increasing energy capacity
and affordability for all Virginians
by doing things like investing in innovative technology.
like fusion energy.
Google also reports the company is working
with the county to stay within the water
system guidelines. I knew you'd get a kick out of that.
Don't worry, people.
We're investing in fusion. It'll be fine.
Fusion.
We'll make you whole on the
back end. It's going to be fine.
Now, unfortunately...
This is like bringing quantum into the picture.
Oh, it'll come. As a solution.
It'll come. Unfortunately,
our president is so all in on this
and has nothing but ass ass kissers, you know, just, ah, the whole thing is just disgusting.
He believes it so much.
He's like, oh, yeah, this is it.
Because, you know, how could all these smart people be wrong?
What he needs is the Curry-Divorak Consulting Group to come into the Oval Office and lay it down and say,
Mr. President, stop this insanity.
And no, no, in fact, we're going to take it one step further.
What could be worse than getting?
getting your kindergartners to high schoolers to grade 12 in on this nonsense and doing it
with sweet little Melania.
Are you ready for an AI challenge?
Take part in this nationwide initiative to discover, develop and expand AI's potential.
As someone who created an AI powered audiobook and champion online safety through the
take a down act, I've seen first hand the promise of this powerful technology.
Now, I pass the torch of innovation to you.
Just as America once led the world into the skies, we are poised to lead again, this time
in the age of AI.
The President's National Artificial Intelligence Challenge invites every student in America
from kindergarten to 12 grade to unleash their imagination
and showcase the spirit of American innovation.
Our educators will guide and empower you through this process
to build a brighter, stronger future for us all.
Visit AI.gov to register today.
Good luck.
Our educators will guide the process?
Oh, no.
this is a disaster.
They're encouraging this stuff.
Oh, yeah.
We won't be able to keep up with China
if we don't have our kids all talking to their chat GPT.
Boo.
And then for you as a writer,
I think this is my final clip.
I'll stop.
For you as a writer.
And this was interesting.
It was also one of our producers wrote an article.
I put it in the show notes.
about a chatbots, let's just call them chatbots,
using very performative language.
And that's how it kind of makes you feel good the whole time.
But it's not really saying that you're great.
It's using, you know, performatives.
I think that you're really good, you know, or it seems, or apparently.
I mean, there's all these different words that just make you feel good.
And this assistant professor of computational linguistic studies, Tom Jusek, he points out the fluff words that these chatbots use.
And you as a writer, I think, will enjoy this minute.
AI models or use certain words like multifaceted realm, intricate surpass, underscore, sometimes we call them AI fluff words.
The reason being that these adjectives, they're qualified, they don't add that much to language.
What we have seen is that a lot of these words that the models overuse are now popping up in human language as well, both in written language.
And now what we had been observing is, okay, these words are also popping up in spoken language.
Their question is, why do we observe this in speech?
Is it because this is natural language change, as we've seen it in the past, or is it in relation to these AI models?
There is the potential that the AI models are putting words into our mouths, into our minds.
But really, there is an entire discourse similar to what we are discussing for words, for beliefs, human behavior, human beliefs, political beliefs, moral beliefs.
so even the possibility that these models are putting words and thoughts into our minds
that is something that we really want to carefully study yeah carefully studies
knock it off just knock it off AI fluff words
which brings us to another situation with words which I want to bring into the show
which is based on the third-way group.
It's a consulting group that's basically a bunch of Clinton-esque people
with their list of words that they want Democrats to stop saying.
Oh, I read about this.
And I want to go over these because they actually left stuff out.
Believe it or not.
like patriotism and wars well no they they well the democrats stopped saying that a long time ago
okay no they want people to stop saying things and i want to go over this list if you if you don't mind
yeah yeah i'm all in i they have it categorized i found the original article and so they
categorized it and nobody really they kind of brought the whole list but they they don't know
how quite to do it to attack it because it's just too much here but this is the uh the list of
words they're trying to get Democrats to stop saying because it's hurting the cause.
And there's a thing called therapy speak.
These words say I'm more empathetic than you and that you are a callous person.
And these words that have to go are privilege.
Yeah.
Okay.
Privilege.
Yeah.
Violence as an environmental violence.
Dialoging.
Othering.
Hold on.
We are dialoguing twice a week.
And we other a lot.
Othering, triggering.
Yeah, good luck.
Microaggression, assault, and invalidation.
Dude, the Democrats won't be able to say anything.
You take all these words out.
This is only one of the segments.
Progressive Stack.
I haven't heard that one.
Progressive Stack is good.
I like it.
that i know that i think that's a good one too to be honest about it centering safe space oh we can't get rid of that
holding space oh and body shaming well what's left for them well we got more that that's just one category
then we moved to seminar room language which is the language that says i'm smarter than you
and concerned about important issues that you aren't and we have these are phrases more than
they are just words but we have subverting norms i have never heard that no well we're not in
those boardrooms so systems of oppression yeah that's a good critical theory that cultural
appropriation who big one post modernism yeah over
Overton window.
What is the over?
I keep forgetting what the Overton window is.
Well, I think we should probably go to our favorite chat bot and ask our chat bot to explain to us in very certain terms.
What is the Overton window?
Oh, the Overton window.
It's the range of ideas the public considers acceptable at a given time.
Like, what's okay to talk about without sounding totally out there?
It shifts as society's values or political climate change.
Think of it as a window of normal that moves left, right, or wider based on what people are ready to hear.
For example, ideas once seen as fringe, like Nerval Health Care, can slide into the window as attitudes evolve.
It's named after Joseph Overton, who came up with the concept to explain what policymakers can realistically push.
Pretty neat way to think about what's in or out in public discourse.
Want me to dive deeper?
Heck no.
No.
No. No. Of course not.
I want you to dive deeper. What is this? That should be outlawed. Let's dive in.
Dive deeper. That's not on the list, but you're right. Dive in. Dive deeper, deep dive.
That needs to go.
And the last on the seminar room language is heuristic and existential threat to anything.
They will have nothing left. Well, wait a minute. There's more categories.
Hi, I'm a Democrat.
Thank you.
Organizer jargon.
These words say we are beholden to groups, not individuals.
People have no agency.
Agency.
This is a common problem with the Democrats, which is you're not an individual.
Yeah, you're part of the group.
Hey, hey, ho, ho.
Mike check, Mike check.
Radical transparency.
Small D democracy.
so you're in other words you're not supposed to say yes well that's like small d democracy
is this group run by uh run by the trump organization it's a political bunch of clinton net
oh really plittinistas yeah oh interesting barriers to participation i use that i always use barriers
to the sales that i i can't stakeholders is no good no good now can't do that the unhoused
Food insecurity.
Man.
Housing insecurity and person who immigrated.
Do they have birthing persons on this thing somewhere?
Yeah, it's coming.
Oh.
This is good.
They don't have, they have person who immigrated.
They have housing, unhoused and other stuff comes up.
This is the next one is gender orientation correctness.
They say your views are or traditional on gender.
and gender roles are at best quaint.
Burthing person.
There is.
Inseminated person.
Hold on.
I think that should stay.
I like inseminated person.
Yeah.
It also applies the gay guys.
Pregnant people.
Yeah.
Chest feeding.
Oh, my Lord.
Cisgender.
Yeah.
Dead naming.
Oh, it's everything.
thing.
Heteronormative.
You're right.
The Democrats have nothing to say.
Heteronormative, patriarchy, and LGBTIA plus.
It's got to go.
They really will have nothing left.
Now, what they didn't put on this list is another one missing front hole.
They did not put that on the list?
No, it's not on the list.
I'm with you.
I think that should be on the list.
Wow.
And then we move to the next, well, I can go, I'm like, this is ending soon.
This is the shifting language of racial constructs is next.
Yes.
Latinx.
African American community.
Well, you got, you know.
Am I there?
Am I getting there?
You know, it's funny.
Somebody on Fox called it Latin, Latin, Latin, Latin, Latin, okay.
But you got that right.
Yeah.
Latinx is number one.
Yeah, of course.
It's stupid.
Number two is Bipak.
Oh, yes.
Get rid of that one.
Bipak.
Allyship.
And here's the Wopper that they're never going to get rid of.
Intersectionality.
No, no.
So is anyone listening to this group?
Well, it got some play on the right wing media.
Well, of course it did.
Of course it did.
This is the last list is explaining away.
crime.
Okay.
Wait, wait, let me guess.
Let me guess.
Defund the police.
What else would be in there?
I don't know.
I'm interested.
Defund the police is not on here.
Oh.
Because it's not about, it's about the buzz terms that are used like thus.
There's only four words or four phrases.
Oh, okay.
Justice involved.
in other words these are phrases you use to not say you know uh criminal you don't want to say
that we're criminal oh yes is a justice involved person yes i got it okay this is an interesting
one because i never heard anyone using it but it's but incarceration
carceration not incarceration but incarceration no no there's incarceration and there's incarcerated
rated people.
Oh, man.
And then the last one is
involuntary confinement.
I, in jail.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, in jail.
Well, this is, you know, I hope they listen to it.
This is a good start.
Words matter, you know, start with this.
They will not get rid of one of these terms.
Well, keep that list handy so we can flag them.
And we can call out violations of the third.
way list, whatever it is.
Well, Democrats are way beyond this.
Meanwhile, things are finally coming to a head, strangely enough, in Canada, as there's a clash
now, there's a clash between the Q's and the LGBBs, I think it's the LGBTs, but made
there some T's in there.
It's a clash.
It's a clash because now we have conflicting agendas.
The group Queers for Palestine, Ottawa, blocking Ottawa's annual Pride parade.
Just so you couldn't hear it.
The Queers for Palestine in Ottawa.
That's who's doing this.
The group Queers for Palestine, Ottawa blocking Ottawa's annual Pride parade Sunday afternoon.
Bringing the festivities to a halt.
We had staged a disruption of the parade to say our demands to both Capital Pride's executive director and board of directors and to the mayor.
We were looking for apologies from the mayor.
mayor in particular for boycotting last year and for encouraging other powerful institutions to
boycott the parade.
The group halted the parade to demand the apology from not only the mayor Mark Suckliff,
but also other organizations that pulled out of the Capitol Pride events last year when
organizers issued a statement condemning Israel.
The mayor said he would not come up and talk to us and even when communicated that the parade
would then disperse if we didn't move, he still refused to come up and talk to us.
In a statement, Ottawa's mayor said in part,
it's deeply regrettable that a group of activists chose to block the parade,
ultimately leading capital pride officials to cancel the event.
My heart goes out to the many people in our city who were deprived of the opportunity
to participate in the celebration of joy, resilience, and community.
I am sad I didn't get to March, but I'm definitely way sadder for the people who are experiencing a lot of
hardship over in Palestine, and this is a way to get a really good message up.
Yeah, really good message.
So this queers against the LGBTs is a problem.
Queers.
Unbelievable.
Queers for Palestine.
Hey, maybe we should roll right into the executive order on flag burning because I got an
email.
I get these a lot.
Shall I do the voice?
Oh, is it one of those guys?
It's the guy.
It's that guy.
Yeah, that's Spencer, of course.
Yeah, I want you to do that guy's voice.
You two are just Trump is right about everything, guys.
You're anti-war until it's a Trump war.
I can't wait to hear you defend him for executive order banning flag burning.
I'm sure you know it's covered under free speech, but Trump is right again, I'm sure.
You've got the other kind of TDS.
Oh, well, that brings me to a couple of clips from one from Hillary Clinton.
Clinton and Joe Biden.
Well, first I replied to him, of course.
I said, I'm sorry, what war did he start?
And where's the executive order?
And he said, well, the bombing in Iran, which was done to please Israel, was an act of war.
It didn't escalate into a bigger war.
You got me there.
But don't think those actions don't radicalize people in the Middle East.
It's silly.
And do you really think it was about Iran not having nukes?
I said, no.
In fact, if you had listened to what we said,
I thought it was about bricks and China, honestly.
Yeah, that's exactly true.
That's what your thesis was.
So this guy's completely, he's not listening.
No, of course not.
There's a gang out there, and it goes kind of like this,
you've lost the plot, Curry.
Devorak is the same, but you've lost the plot.
Yes, it's probably true.
At least they liked me more.
I did read the executive order, so let's play your clips on that we can just go through this.
I just want this is, I think, good to know.
This is Hillary in 2006, and she's talking about flag burning, Hillary Clinton.
So I hope, Mr. President, that we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration.
I agree that this burning, this desecration that can happen to our flag is something that people have
a right to ask this body
to try to prohibit and prevent
it. Yeah, of course.
This body... That's Hillary.
Let's go back another
decade to Joe Biden back in the 90s
and he had this to say.
In my view, it doesn't matter why
you burn or mutilate
or trample on the flag.
You should not do it.
What holds us together as a nation,
Mr. President, is not a common
language, although I think that is necessary.
It is the national symbol.
The reason it is worth preserving is because it unifies this diverse nation.
The flag's unique place in our national life means that we should preserve it against all manner of destruction.
A statute making an unlawful to burn, mutilate, or trample upon any flag of the United States, period.
It doesn't matter who burns or mutilates or tramples the flag, and it doesn't matter why.
Under my proposal, it'll be unlawful to do the flag harm, no if, ands, or buts.
Tell everyone they can't burn the flag.
Now, what do you think this is really about, including Trump, why do these presidential people,
Hillary not being a president, but a presidential, a president-adjacent person with a front hole?
what do you think that the message really is?
Why do they make a big deal out of this?
I don't know, to be honest about it.
Why necessarily, unless it's to exhibit some form of patriotism,
because the flag is symbolic?
Right.
So it's about patriotism.
Now, my stance, and I think you'll agree with me,
you want to burn the flag,
You can wear the flag.
I mean, there's been lawsuits about that to Abby Hoffman.
Wow, there's a name.
Does anyone remember Abby Hoffman steal this book?
Probably not.
Nobody does, boomer.
That's a true boomer moment.
I read that when I was probably 10, steal this book.
It's a great book.
I think I stole it from the American Women's Library in Amsterdam.
So burning anything like that is obviously falls under your freedom to expression.
yourself. And although I don't like it, it's like fine, whatever. But that's not what the executive
order says. It's very clear what this is about. Although it's squirmie, swarmie, squirmie,
whatever you want to call it. Smarmy. Smarmy, there you go. Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's
rulings on First Amendment protections, which is burning the flag, the court has never held that
American flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action,
or that is an action amounting to fighting words, is constitutionally protected.
So what the president, and this is just a minor part of the executive order, what he's trying to
say here is, well, if you burn a flag and it causes a riot or there's a riot and you're burning
a flag, I think if you're inciting a riot no matter what, whether you burn a flag or not is, you know,
That's a problem.
But what this is really about is illegal immigrants burning the American flag.
Or even visa holders who are here visiting, visa, visit, visiting.
And I'm on board with that.
If you want to come here and you want to work here and you want to be a part of our society,
then don't go burning our flag.
I'm okay with that.
And I'm not, and, you know, that to me is like, get out.
Just get out.
If you don't care about us, about our flag and what it stands for, then get out.
But in general, if you want to burn a flag, okay, you can be a douchebag.
People burn themselves.
It's fine too.
Well, you know, it's a hate crime and illegal to burn a gay pride flag.
Is it really?
Yes.
Is that a hate crime?
Yeah.
Well, I didn't know that.
But you can burn the American flag.
What is a hate crime exactly?
It's just exhibiting some sort of targeted hatred toward a group,
a specific group that can be identified as a minority.
But what this comes, this comes down to the same thing,
you know, yelling fire in a crowded theater.
You are in fact allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater.
If you do that with intent to cause a stampede and people die,
it's a different story.
That's one of the most, between that and the so-called separation clause,
the non-existent separation clause, those are two of the biggest lies about the U.S. Constitution.
Like, oh, you can't, you know, fire in the crowded theater.
Yeah, you can.
Sure you can't.
But if you do it with the intent to hurt people with a stampede and someone gets hurt,
and then you've got a problem.
And that concludes our constitutional lesson for today.
It concludes your little pitch.
For today.
I'm glad I got the Hillary thing in there, that's for sure.
That concludes a little pitch for today, children.
But I'm not too worried about anyone caring because they don't even know what half a dozen is.
So it's probably just going over everybody.
And they can't tell the months.
That's my favorite.
New favorite.
January, December, June.
What's next?
I have a February.
I remember when I was probably six.
And my mom was.
kind of mean in this? He says, do you know the months? And I was, I was always listening to records at home and, you know, and I forget what the name of the song is.
Maybe it's maybe it's the Andrews Sisters, but at a certain point he goes, January, February, June and July.
Is that sisters, maybe? Sisters.
There was somebody like those, you know, the Byswell sisters. So I say to my mom, January, February, June and July, and she went, you best.
to learn your months.
You're about to go into, you're about
to be seven years old and you don't know
your months. And I remember
like, God, I was so scared.
And I was studying the months and I came by, Mom,
I know him, I know him, I know him. I really, I know him, I do.
I was just, it was just the song. The song got me
confused, Mom. But six.
And now, eh, we don't know. I got a calendar on my
phone. Who cares?
The phone. Again, Ross
brings us back to the end of civilization,
which began in 2007.
The end of civilization.
Well, here, what the parents do here, and I think it's pretty good,
they will give their kid an Apple Watch so that they can text and receive,
because, you know, these Apple Watches, now you can text and receive a phone call.
And so, but then the parent controls the app, so there's no other apps on it.
So they can still text and have a phone, but it's not really an easy way to text.
You're not going to be in a chat group with your friends like that.
And that seems to be a pretty good, pretty decent halfway solution.
Halfway.
Halfway.
You're also known as half-assed.
Well, I mean, I'm still for ham radios.
I think all kids should have a walkie-talkie.
Well, we're getting some of the Gen Zers are getting these.
You said that earlier.
You had a note from someone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They love it.
They love the hams.
Well, since you were talking about the flag burning, let's talk about D.C.
crime, because that's a big topic.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
I have some clips. I got the D.C. Crime Union Station clip.
Okay.
The Department of Transportation says it's taking over management of Union Station,
a major transportation hub in Washington, D.C. NPR's Joel Rose reports.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says his department is taking management of Union Station back from Amtrak.
The station, which is within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol, has been owned by DOT since the 1980s.
Duffy says the Department will now reclaim management of the state.
which he said will help to, quote, make the city safe and beautiful at a fraction of the cost.
National Guard troops have been seen patrolling the station since the Trump administration sent the guard and other federal law enforcement officials into Washington.
Though local police statistics show that violent crime in the District of Columbia has declined, declined in recent years.
Declined.
So they're making the point, you know, they're not talking, they're giving us again bad reporting.
They don't talk about the rigged number.
and all the rest of this, been well documented by now.
But so we go, but NPR now goes into the juvenile.
There's a whole segment they do on the juvenile thing that, you know,
Janine Piero, Piero.
Judge Janine, man.
Bomb him, bomb him again, eh?
Is the bomb him, bomb him girl wants to bomb the juveniles into oblivion.
And so this becomes a big topic of conversation here on NPR.
PR about, well, you know, the whole idea, so we shouldn't, we, we kind of backed off on
juveniles because it's turned out that our research indicates that if you're, if you're harsh on
them, then they become lifetime criminals, as opposed to letting them get away with everything,
so they won't become like, bring back spanking. Bring back spanking, people. There we go.
It's changed one. Unlike President Trump, who was railed against violent crime in the city
at large. Right there. Railed. What does even railed mean?
Let me ask.
Give me a definition of railed.
Railed can mean a couple things, depending on context.
If you mean physically, it's when something moves along or is secured by rails, like a train on tracks or a curtain on a rod.
Now, if you're thinking slang, railed often means getting hit hard or overwhelmed, like in a game or argument.
Oh, please.
Stupid.
it's just it's it's it's so it's a colloquialism that isn't even valid exactly railed he railed
against it man i mean railing when someone rails against it like yeah i'm getting really mad unlike president
trump who was railed against violent crime in the city writ large pier was zeroed in specifically on
local laws meant to rehabilitate people accused or convicted of crimes at a young age she's penned opinion
pieces and letters to lawmakers criticizing laws allowing for things like juvenile sentence reduction record
sealing and early release.
I want to send a message that we are going to catch you, that we are going to change
the laws, that if you're 14, 15, 16, 17, we're going to bring you into the justice system.
Piero has connected the district's reforms to the city's recent uptick in youth violence,
which included a sharp rise in shootings in 2023 that has since declined, since decline,
since decline.
Oh, hold on.
I got to stop that for a second.
First of all, Judge Janine will be the one to use the superiors.
Predator term.
You watch.
She's dumb enough.
She's smart, but she's also dumb enough to throw something or a new version of
Super Predator.
I would take a bet on that, that she won't.
You don't think she will?
No, I don't think so because she's so conscientious about being a right winger that to use
that term, which is really popularized by Hillary, I think would be beneath her.
And there was something else I wanted to say, oh, I forgot it already.
Let me see.
Which included a sharp rise in shootings in 2023 that is,
So I looked at the crime statistics of D.C.
And they were talking about how it was down 30%.
And I'm like, how did they arrive at this number?
It's very simple.
They looked at 2024, all crime or whatever that.
What was the statistic?
It was crime.
And then they looked at what they have to date.
Well, there's a third of the year left.
So that's how they arrive at.
down 30%. Well, yeah, the year's not over yet. They didn't do it month over month or period over
period. They did it literally full year versus three quarters of a year. This bull crap.
Included a sharp rise in shootings in 2023 that has since declined, since declined,
but complaints about juvenile justice reform from prosecutors are nothing new in both the capital
and in other parts of the country. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser says she is also concerned about
sending the wrong message to adolescents accused of crimes. I am an accountability.
mayor. If you commit a crime in the district with a gun, there has to be accountability,
and that's if you are an adult or if you are a juvenile. I don't think we always have that
accountability. But criminal justice reform advocates don't want to see DC leaders make what they say
will be counterproductive changes simply to appease Trump and Piro in order to war off additional
interference. Vanessa Batters-Thompson is the head of the D.C. Appleseed Center for Law and Justice.
argues that cities and states that pursued policy changes allowing for more lenient sentences
for young people because of the overwhelming evidence that punishing them pushes teens to
commit more crimes in the future.
Bring back spanking.
That'll start.
You've muted yourself.
You're self-muted.
It is a crime in 40 of the 50 states to self-mute yourself on a podcast.
You are still muted.
Click the button.
I wonder if maybe he's having an argument.
Doesn't want us to hear it.
Maybe he's...
Sorry.
I'll tell you how this happens.
Yeah, it's magic.
But the point, yeah, yeah.
You had something to say that I thought was important
and I wanted to dispute it.
Or bring back spanking?
No, not about bringing back spanking.
The logic, the logic that was brought up in that clip where they say that deterring,
in other words, by punishing crime, it doesn't act as a deterrence, which makes sense that it might.
It acts as an encouragement.
How did it, what is the logic here?
Their logic is the following.
To deter crime by punishing the juveniles, it will encourage more crime.
Yeah. I want to know the logic. Do you have it?
Nope.
Huh. No, of course not.
All right. Well, they claim that's true. Okay. Well, let's go on the WTF, which is the worst clip, which is this one.
Pushes teens to commit more crimes in the future.
It feels like we are taking a step back from an evidence-based approach to criminal justice to one that is really focused on the short-term appearance of left crime at the risk.
of a population that is much less stable over the long term.
Paro has also criticized a D.C. law, allowing people convicted of crimes under the age of 25 to seek sentence reductions after they've served at least 15 years.
More than a dozen states have passed similar reforms, giving judges a chance to review a sentence after a significant amount of time has been served.
Troy Burner was one of the first beneficiaries of D.C.'s sentence reduction law after spending 24 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Wait. Wait, the guy didn't commit the crime.
Yeah. That's...
And he is a beneficiary of a shortened sentence.
How come he wasn't commuted if he didn't commit...
What is he doing in jail in the first place if he didn't commit the crime?
Well, they throw that in there to show that the justice system does not work because people who are innocent get thrown in jail.
That's part of the whole ethos of the law.
left you see is they don't always get it right so I could be your kid so you don't by
the way little for well remind me I got to tell a fredericksburg story right after this last
clip you want to set it up uh I'm not going to accept the fredericksburg story but I remember
to say that to you let's go to the so anyway so the point is that there this is a propagandistic
outfit this NPR and people are giving them money it's really a shame here we go
shame.
Stop giving you more money.
This is the last third thing.
He now studies criminal justice reform issues and observes that these reductions are only meant to give people second chances after they clear a rigorous review process.
He says they have no bearing at all on youth crime rates.
We're doing some amazing things out here.
And I think, you know, when it's all said and done, you know, people's lives are being involved in this misleading narratives.
Similarly, Nye Winslow, policy council of the D.C.
Justice Lab, points to Piro's focus on the city's juvenile record-sealing laws and
misguided one.
I know she and the administration want to talk about public safety, but if you are allowing
people the opportunity to move forward and gain a legal income, get legal housing, get
legal education opportunities, that will decrease the chance that they are going to resort
to criminal activity.
Pira's office declined to speak with NPR for this story, stating her public comments spoke
for themselves.
For NPR News, I'm Alex Tromo in Washington, D.C.
These juveniles do have a home.
It's not as though they're homeless roaming around homeless kids.
Unhoused.
Oh, yeah, unhoused.
And so this logic, again, the logic is elusive.
Mainstream media is not good for anybody's mental health.
But even in Fredericksburg, we have gotten to a place where there's something that happened in people's minds.
I'm not sure exactly what it is.
So we live on a, it should be a gated community, but it's not because, you know,
there's a whole who owns the roads and the city didn't want it when this, it's a, what do you call it?
It's a subdivision.
And there's 12.
You're in a subdivision.
You have an awful lot of property for someone in the subdivision.
It's Texas, man.
So.
In Texas here, we got lots of land.
We have the many, we got the Mac mansions and we got them all over the place because that's what we're due.
That's what we do.
My mansions with lots of limestone and exposed beams, which we do not have.
12 homes.
And so we're on one end.
It's a cul-de-sac and there's a cul-de-sac on the other end.
And then there's a road in a couple houses on the east side.
Wait, wait, stop.
There's a cul-de-sac on one end and the other end's a cold.
How do you get into this area in the first place?
In the middle, there's a road that comes up.
Okay, in the middle.
And in the middle, there's actually where the mailboxes are.
Okay.
You got the picture, you got the picture.
Not really, but yes.
We're all the way at one end, quiet, little Adam and Tina and Phoebe just living here in our modest home.
The McMansions are a little bit further up.
But about nine months ago, a family moved in, and the guy's a contractor.
And so he's already irritating everybody because he had, you know, like tractors and big machinery.
in his front yard and while he was building his house but then they kind of stayed and so there's all
kinds of consternation at the other end including yeah i love this sort of neighborhood consternation
over the guy has heavy equipment in his front yard well you know hey man can you move your tractor
and you know fourth of july they were shooting fireworks off and it was oh yeah it was and all the
debris was going in other people's yards and their pool and so there's a text group of
half of the inhabitants and I've been roped into this because I find it highly entertaining
because I'm on the other end we're in the quiet peaceful part and so the other of this last
weekend it was Saturday night and I'm walking Phoebe and they have two young boys a baby
and I guess the boys had some some friends over and I don't know where the parents were
but they had got one of his utility vehicles,
which is kind of like a golf cart that can pull stuff
that has a real engine in it.
And they're racing up and down the road.
I mean, racing is a big word.
You know, they's got one headlamp and they're all hooting and hollering.
And it's like nine o'clock or whatever.
Yeah, they're kids, right?
And then they had electric.
Power party.
Yeah, they had electric mini bikes and they're zipping around.
And Phoebe's like,
They're afraid of me because, you know, the Phoebe is like, she's just going nuts when they come by.
And, you know, they're going up and down.
And I'm like, yeah, I remember when I was a kid.
You know, I had all kinds of motorized vehicles and, you know, it's 9 o'clock, whatever.
So it wasn't loud or anything, but they were just going up and down.
So I thought nothing of it.
Like, I'm not going to be that old coot who says, hey, kid, stop that.
However.
And shake your, you got to shake your fist with you.
Shake my fist, yes. However, it turns out they were doing this until one in the morning
up at the other end. And so the text group fires up, like, can you believe it? They were doing
that until one in the morning. I'm like, what did you do? Well, you know, I couldn't get to sleep.
I texted. What is wrong with you people? I said, okay. Because, you know, we do have a 10 o'clock
ordinance, I guess. And just after
10 o'clock, you stop making noise. It's
fine. Unless you talk to everybody, I'm going
to have a party. Come on over.
And I said, what is wrong with you?
I said, next time they do that,
text me, and I'll
call my friend Mike, the lieutenant,
the sheriff's office. I have to send someone
over and scare the living daylights out
of them. But
these people don't do that anymore.
They sit there and grouse on text.
You're grown men.
if you're going to let these kids terrorize you until one in the morning and you're just
go out there and say, hey, cut it out?
This is Texas.
There's something going on.
People have lost the plot.
I mean, what are you afraid of?
Are you afraid that you're going to get someone's parents angry because you told their kids to knock it off?
It's disappointing, to say the least.
By the way, this is an ongoing saga.
There will be more updates.
There's a lot more going on with these people.
We have, you know, in Holland, in Dutch, in the old country, we have a term for a family like this.
We call them tokkies.
And they are true.
Tokies.
Tokis.
Tokk-K-I-E-S.
Tokis.
Tokis.
Yeah.
Tokis.
And every neighborhood eventually gets some tockies.
And we got them.
And luckily, they're at the other end of the road.
Far away from me to be disturbed by them.
sounds like a winner.
I had some tookies living next to me when I was down on.
It's to-get-to-get-a-tokies.
That were, they were heroin dealers.
Excellent.
And they weren't there that long.
They were there for maybe six months,
but it was pretty apparent what was going on.
And it was funny because they also owned a restaurant in Berkut,
which they remained nameless,
but I think they'd financed the restaurant with their heroin dealings.
So one day
So one day
So I got to knock on my door
Because somebody mixed up the houses
And I thought it was
I was the heroin
Hey man
Hey man
Are you holding
Are you holding?
But no
It was kind of a surprise
It was two
I don't know if they were world class
But they sure looked like it to me
Supermodels
Oh yeah
Yeah they use that
Instead of eating
They do heroin
And it was like
holy shit these women are beautiful and they had the guy's name is he live here no he's next door
and so i'm giving him directions oh thanks and they go over there and then you the door opens
you here it slam and it opens again as slams they get back in their car within 10 minutes and
off they go to two of them yeah and i'm thinking holy macro what a business wow you this is a story
I have not heard from you.
This is a new one.
Yeah, and I've never told him.
Almost 18 years, and you never cease to amaze me with your life experience.
About the Hotties and the heroin addicts.
The heroin Hotties.
There you go.
Heroin Hotties.
That's the name for a show title.
Yeah, I think so, too.
I'm writing it down just in case.
Heroin Hotties.
Wow, man.
What a world, huh?
We get to live in it.
That's great.
I love that we get to live in this world.
So I have these...
How much time do we have left in this segment?
In this segment, I give you a 15.
Well, let's go with the owner.
I found a TikToker guy, but it's just really a news reporter.
He's on the UK.
And it's UK reports of the crap that's going on in the UK.
Oh, so bad.
That they're trying to pull over on the public, and the public just buys it.
This is the UK is a mess.
Yeah, it is.
Here's the, these are they call Onzerus, but this onerous UK cash limit.
Have you heard about the cash limit?
Yes, they're doing it all over the EU, so it doesn't surprise me it's in the UK.
I'm just going to guess no more than £100 cash.
Well, it's different, well, it's a little more elaborate than that.
Okay, here we go.
From September 18th, 2025, withdrawing more than £200 in cash within seven days will activate an alert on your account.
Wow.
Yes, the moment you cross that limit, your banking activity goes straight.
to the Financial Intelligence Unit,
supported by HMRC,
the Treasury and the Financial Conduct Authority.
And it doesn't stop there.
A new automated monitoring system
will scan every withdrawal, deposit and transfer.
Take out £300 today,
and another £100 later in the week,
instantly reviewed.
Your account could be checked, restricted,
or even temporarily paused.
Do this often,
and you could end up on a high-risk list
facing block transactions, limited card use, and possible reports to other agencies.
The rule is aimed at reducing activity in certain sectors like property, secondhand cars, and cash-based
deals. But many believe it could affect ordinary people too, making every step of your financial
life feel closely monitored.
Wow. You know what these people need? I mean, I would have said Bitcoin, but he might as well
just hit him with some stable coin quick.
They need something.
That is that is draconian.
It's ridiculous.
And then they talk about the reason for this so you can't buy a secondhand car cash.
No, no, no.
So I can't go buy, you got a car for sales like 500 bucks.
Here's 500 bucks.
What kind of car are you buying for 500 bucks?
Well, I'm just saying, just to make, I'm rounding numbers.
Okay, 10 grand.
Here's $10,000 in cash.
Can I have your car?
No way.
You might be a drug.
You might be holding heroin for the hot.
We can't have that.
I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.
So here's the second clip that's got another crazy thing going on in the UK.
Starting January 2026, a new contribution will be added directly to your pay slip.
Yes, you read that correctly.
On January 2nd, 2026, a debt recovery contribution will automatically be deducted from the paychecks of most UK workers.
This new measure is designed to help manage the UK's rising national.
debt, which has grown significantly in recent years. But here's where it gets interesting.
£90 will be taken before your salary even reaches your bank account, adding up to over £1,000 per
year. With many families already facing higher living costs and inflation, this new deduction is
likely to have a big impact. HMRC will handle the collection, and employers will be legally
required to ensure it's taken. Exemptions apply only to pensioners, large families and those on
specific benefits. For everyone else, it's automatic and unavoidable. While supporters say
this is a necessary step to manage public finances, critics feel it places extra pressure
on regular workers. No kidding. So that's to reduce the deficit? Yeah, so they screw up and
they run up a big deficit. And they said, well, you know, what are we going to do about this big
deficit? Well, what we're going to do is we're going to ding everybody with the, because everything's
now, you know, the finances is going to be all digital.
because you can't even have $200 in cash, you know, before being considered a criminal.
So you have, so that you can't do anything about it.
And the money just gets sucked out of your account, whether you like it or not.
Bitcoin people, get to the Bitcoin.
Bitcoin's not going to help.
I think Stablecoin is the answer, but it's not, that's like, it'll be illegal.
They'll just make that illegal.
Oh, it already is.
Yeah, they, you know, that, you saw that commercial that Coinbase did about everything's fine in the UK.
It's like a three-minute commercial.
It's like a cabaret.
They're on the street singing and dancing and everything's a mess
and the garbage is piling up and rats are walking around
and the ceiling's caving in.
And people are like, everything's fine.
Everything's lovely.
And then it's because Coinbase wasn't allowed to either operate
or certainly not to advertise their services.
I know I never saw that ad.
Yeah, it's around.
Well, of course, we still have the raise the colors protest ongoing in the UK.
And it's spreading.
And I thought it was rather interesting because we were talking a couple shows ago.
You said, well, who's organizing this?
Who is organizing all of these, this immigration, all this illegal stuff and people getting, you know, hotel rooms and et cetera, et cetera.
Well, it turns out that the only people organizing it are the citizenry themselves who just let it happen because they were told by their media and their politicians.
Oh, poor people, poor people, without any thought for the consequences.
And now the Australians are acting up.
An online movement.
When did it become racist to be a patriot?
Planning to take to the streets.
The Australian people have had enough.
With the backing of real politicians.
How dare you bring these people to our country and then have them be looked after by the public purse?
This nation is sick and tired of migration.
This is the digital groundswell behind March for Australia,
a planned series of demonstrations next Sunday in every state capital,
anti-mass migration rallies.
Sam won't give her real name and would only answer our questions
in a pre-recorded video message posted to her page,
but claims to be an organiser.
Myself, as well as every other state organiser,
is intending for this event to be peaceful, non-violent, non-aggressive,
and just a bunch of your average Australians
standing up against mass immigration.
There is no clear single leader.
Many supporters, though, were aligned
with anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine movements.
Everyone I know is going.
There are videos that don't even feature real people.
We demand this government is removed
by the Governor General immediately.
AI-generated clips used to sell the message.
Security experts say the social media
algorithm-driven momentum
is fueled by scenes globally.
Immigration raids ordered by the U.S. President in America protests against migrants in the U.K.
Yeah, people are sick of it everywhere.
Yeah, that's good.
We'll see how that goes.
I love the real politicians.
Like, oh, my God, real politicians are with these people.
We can't have that.
We should get these real politicians out.
There's no good.
Yes.
Yes.
all right uh
TikTok clip only have one
we actually have two
I thought this
I want to play this clip this is a TikTok clip
and somebody brought in this is people
bitching about Joe Rogan
and I don't like to
necessarily do you know play that sort of clip
but they're bishing about Joe Rogan because he had some
a couple of anti-vaxers on
and then when was this?
When was this?
this all the time all the time he has anti-vaxers on all the time he has a lot of anti-vaxers on yes and
but these women these are two brits i think there's some podcasts i can't figure out who they are
but they post everywhere and so they're going on there's this there's a unbelievable
ill logic to what they have to say but they came up with a new a new concept which i
thought was interesting and it there's a term called privilege of platform
And Joe Rogan has this.
He has privilege of privilege of platform, which means big platform.
Yeah.
And of course this goes along with the, you shouldn't platform these people or I, this is my favorite.
Candice Owen says this.
I won't use my platform to talk about these people.
We have a platform.
It's tiny.
But, you know, it's like a diving board, basically.
But we've got a platform.
Yeah, but our people are the best.
That's true.
I do not think some episodes of the Joe Rogan experience are okay.
I have issues with a lot of the people that Joe Rogan has interviewed.
Most specifically, I do not like the fact that he reaches into alt-right groups and platforms
people with very racist, very hate-filled ideas.
I hate that about his podcast and I really do not like the idea that is so widely supported
sometimes.
However, if we are sticking to the issue of these two particular podcast episodes that people
are so upset about recently. My main question is what opinions deserve a platform on Joe Rogan
experience? And the main hurdle for me, whenever someone shares an opinion on a podcast is,
is this person qualified to share the opinion that they have? Is this person considered
an expert in their field? And when we bring up these two episodes that have caused this
furori, they are actually concerning two people who I would deem experts because they are a
cardiologist and a vaccine scientist. So it's an interesting conversation because although we have
two experts who are very educated and are very informed in their fields, they are two experts who
disagree with about 99% of their peers who are also experts. So we kind of have a situation
where if we had all these experts on this particular topic in a room, 997 are saying one thing
and two or three experts are saying another. And how the hell do we deal with that?
Yeah, and then a lot of people might turn around to that and say, okay, well, then clearly it's a freedom of speech thing because clearly we need to hear from everyone, from all of the experts in the room.
And I agree with that to some degree, but then perhaps it's not as much about freedom of speech as it is about privilege of platform, right?
Like, this is a huge platform.
Oh, brother.
Well, that's kind of the Douglas Murray argument about Dave Smith.
Douglas Murray was when he went on to debate.
shit, Dave Smith is on Joe Roken again.
And he's still talking about that debate.
Like, huh, move on.
Move on, dude.
But he's right about one thing.
Douglas Murray,
but he, in essence, said you shouldn't platform people who aren't experts on the topic,
which is a little bit like what, although it's in reverse here,
because I guess these people were experts in the field.
But you shouldn't platform anyone who I disagree with.
That's what they're saying.
No, that's basically what the two women are saying.
okay you should have experts but they have to be experts that we agree with they have to be experts that are in the majority in other words science you know science is not a vote you know you don't you know it's not like oh majority rules so that means that science you know otherwise we still be using leeches i think that hey eight out of ten doctors say smoking camels is good for you it'll help you off i mean just don't forget that yes so yes so these this is all
Nonsense.
Joe Rogan is Joe Rogan.
He gets just put on whoever he feels like.
What does does?
Well, with the understanding that almost nobody really watches mainstream news anymore,
in the United States, there's nobody under 30, maybe even older, who's watching network news.
But, oh, I can't wait to turn on the 6 o'clock news.
No, there's no, the numbers show that no one is really watching cable news.
news, certainly not on that age bracket.
They're all watching Joe Rogan.
And I think our lucky stars and the Holy Spirit that the Gen Zs are coming to us.
They're like, okay, let me just hear what's going on in the other world.
Well, I'm here ranching, ranching and making babies.
Yeah, spanking my kids when they get out of line.
Yeah, they need to know.
They need to know what's happening.
And they come to us to our platform.
They come to our platform.
I love it.
Come to our platform.
You're welcome here at this platform.
And with that,
platform.
I want to thank you for your courage,
seeing the morning to you,
the man who put the C's in the UK Cash Crunch.
Say hello to my friend on the other end,
the one, the only Mr. John C.
DeVore.
In the morning,
Mr. Adam, DeMerey, DeMis, nice out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Let me count you here.
We're still low.
1657 should be about 1,800 for a Thursday.
Yeah, we're short 150.
We are, yeah.
Is it Labor Day weekend?
Is that coming up?
Yeah, it is, as a matter of fact.
It should be a...
Should be a banging show on Sunday.
There'll be nobody listening.
By the way...
At least we're working.
We're not doing what everyone else has been doing,
we're just taking a week off.
Yeah, you know,
I got a message from somebody who's like,
while you are casting stones at others,
what are, you know,
some people have to work.
What are you doing?
What are you running for?
I'm like, uh,
what?
When I was talking about you should run for school board or local city council,
get involved,
get involved.
He's like,
some people have to work for a living.
Like, you know,
just because it sounds really,
easy? We do, this is a full-time job. And by the way, we have no salary, no health care, no
pension, no benefits, no PTO, no vacation. I frequently am doing my, my part of the show from
vacation. There's no financial planning because it's a roller coaster of donations. What are you
talking about? Yeah. I don't know why I came up with that. Yes, it's a constant struggle.
That's it. It's a struggle. That's the point.
By the way, on the quad screen, here's the new messaging from the Minneapolis shooter.
The shooter was obsessed with other shooters and wanted to kill children.
So there's, at this moment, we still.
One of his rifles, he had a bunch of shooters names on him.
Yeah, I know, I know. But what they don't have is the obvious transgendering of children.
children making them.
We have a pattern.
We have a proven pattern of this.
That's what you're looking for.
We have a pattern,
but that is not what your mainstream media is going to tell you.
So come up on our knees here.
The boomers will tell you what's really happening.
So the 1657 trolls are listening.
They're listening live trollroom.io.
And, of course, on the modern podcast, that's, by the way.
I just go to noagendatstream.com?
It's the same thing, yeah.
Noagenda.
Dot stream or noagendatstream.com.
It's just multiple domain names.
I like trollroom.com.
What's your problem?
I don't like trollroom.
I love trove.
We've been using this for five years.
Now you tell me you don't like it.
I've only bitch showing you how rare it is for me to complain.
Okay.
I never liked it.
I like, uh, like, uh,
Noagendatstream.com.
It's got branding.
But do you like us calling the troll room, the chat room, the troll room?
You like that, though, don't you?
I don't, it doesn't bother me one way or the other.
Oh, okay.
But I did want to say, there's a brand new podcasting 2.0 app out, which is Pod Home.
Available.
Pod Home.
Pod Home, yes, from Barry.
Barry is Dutch.
And Barry built Pod Home.
He has a hosting company, which he runs by himself.
but he also has a brand new app.
It's good.
He has something called podcast pulse.
And this pertains to the bat signal that we have in the 2.0 apps where, first of all,
you can listen to a live stream, a live show.
And we have the bat signal, which alerts you when we go live.
And you just, in your podcast app, just click on it, boom, you're listening to the live stream.
Does it beep?
Depends on what you have said.
I mean, you don't know how a phone works.
But yeah, these modern phones.
They can give you an alert.
You might have seen it.
A little thing comes from the top and you get a little peep and whatever you set it to.
Is it different than a message?
You can have it.
If it function differently, you can have it.
Can you yell, hey, Stoge, the podcast is beginning.
Get on the phone.
Yeah.
Do you something like that?
Yeah.
In fact, I'm going to ISO that.
People could use that.
So you could actually set that as your alarm tone when we go live.
That's possible.
And of course, when we publish, within 90s.
seconds, you know that the podcast has been updated. These legacy apps, you know, sometimes wait 15 minutes or
hours at times when things go wrong. Days. This is because of the pod ping infrastructure of 2.0.
And what Barry did is he has his kind of new feature that he put in his app. I think he calls it
podcast pulse. And so you go into the podcast pulse section of the app and it just shows you, boom,
every app that updates. And sometimes there's three per second. It's really cool to discover
a podcast. Just go flying by and there's a trail. And it's a, it's a fun. It's a fun way to
discover a new podcast. But you just want to subscribe to the No Agenda podcast and you'll be
alerted appropriately. Value for value. We were talking about it earlier. The only way we've
ever made money on this show is by your value that you return to the program. We've never
taken any money from corporate interest, never had any commercials. We never had any commercials. We
knew that that would never last. And here we are. We'll be 18 years in October. Our 1800th
episode is coming up. So what is that? About 100 episodes a year, I guess. Yeah, about that. Two a week.
Well, 52 weeks out of the year, it'd be 104 to be exact. Yeah. Well, we didn't start off with two
episodes. So we went to two episodes later. And you can support us with your time, your talent,
or your treasure. Boots on the ground are always welcome. Of course, we have prompt jockeys who are very
good at prompting art. Of course, your results may vary depending on the model that you use.
You used to have real artists. They're all dead. The Dutchmasters are in fact now dead
Dutchmasters. They've all left us because they couldn't compete. And it's sad because they were
actually quite good. But I have to say, when you look at Darren O'Neill's artwork for episode 1793,
which we titled Retribution, it was good.
Now, it was still kind of the luminance was down
because the model he's using is edging towards model collapse,
so there's no bright colors.
But because of that, the intent of making it look like a movie poster,
which was the attack of the radioactive shrimp,
it really hit the mark.
It was well done.
We liked it.
You got the planes flying overhead.
You got the giant radioactive shrimp, people running away scared.
Some of them apparently wearing Nazi uniforms with Nazi hats.
I'm not sure what that was about.
Some of the planes look a little strange.
But hey, you know, it's AI.
We liked it.
It was a good piece.
We looked at a couple others going to know AgendaartGenerator.com
where everybody can participate.
Let me see what else we had in there.
we had
man
Servant
Servant
You got to use another model
Your model has collapsed
It's literally like
You put on sunglasses
Looking and you see that one
With the pickup truck
What's the name of it
Oh the pickup truck
That's so dull
Yeah
It's dim
It's just dim
Yeah I mean
It's dim
I mean it's dim
I liked
Jeffrey Ria's
Radioactive Shrimp
I thought
was kind of cute
He had a shrimp with all kinds of radioactive signs around.
Yeah, that was a good piece.
It was definitely.
That could have won.
Could have won.
I don't think there was, that wasn't that much.
Uganda, another Jeffrey Rhea, Ray Ria.
Dogs.
No, I think you got it at all.
That was it.
It was underwhelming.
Underwhelming.
The jump the shark.
We had a dude named Ben with a microphone with a dead cat on it.
And then there's always...
Oh, by the way, I want to make that correction.
It's not a road mic.
It is a DJI mic.
Somebody sent me one of the producers corrected that.
Well, there's two versions.
There is definitely a road mic used a lot.
Yeah, well, this DJI mic is the one I was talking about it.
It comes...
You see it so much because it comes with a video recorder as a kit.
Yeah.
And so it's like a vlogger.
vlogger kit and so you had a stupid little mic which is a vlogger kit a vlogger kit with a wireless
little square mic which looks idiotic you know the vlogger kit should come with that parallels app so that
you can look really good look i got my kit and i've got 50 000 people watching me live on my live
my instillive baby i also want to make another maya culpa yes ad lay stevenson was involved in some
with the Khrushchev showdown with the missile crisis because he was the U.N. ambassador at the time.
I was corrected by three different producers on that.
Oh, blimey.
So I have to mention that.
And then I also have to mention that somebody did point out that there's about six states
that allow open containers in the car.
And Texas, until 1980, allowed you to have beer in the car open.
and they used to have, because I remember this,
because you used to be able to drive through in liquor store,
they had drive-through outlets and they give you a beer
and you could go in your car.
Yes, but the discussion was, and you would do this to me,
you said, can't you have open container in the car in Texas?
And I said no.
So I was right, and you can't now say,
used to be that way.
Because you're kind of trying to do that.
No, but I claim that I knew about this in the past,
and you denied that it ever existed.
Oh, there it is, as long as I'm wrong.
Okay.
You are wrong.
You are dead wrong.
I am right on all counts.
Don't make me call my lieutenant at the sheriff's office.
Come over there.
He's not going to drive over here because he's a run out of his gas.
His electric car will be dead before he gets out of Texas.
No, no, he won't be able to afford gas in your state.
That's the problem.
What are you at?
Ten bucks a gallon now?
Five.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow, that's way down.
It's not way down.
It's been five for.
forever. It's too high. It should be three. Well, no, I know it's too high, but, you know, it's your
taxes, man. Enjoy it. No, it's not the taxes. It's a combination of ridiculous, my favorite thing,
which is they, don't get me started. First, they always have a tax on the gasoline to pay for highways,
and then they put a special bill to put more tax on the gas to pay for highways when you already
have it. And then the other thing is the blend of gasoline that they use is very, very,
specific to California.
And so this special blend that only about five refineries can even make includes the
Richmond Refinery and over here in Richmond, obviously, the Chevron Refinery, and which is
going to shut down because in California can't keep a refinery in the state without
driving them out of business.
And so who knows what the price of the gasoline is going to be after Chevron shuts
down their Richmond Refinery, the whole thing's a disaster.
Yeah, California.
Yeah, exactly. Uber Ullis.
No, it's not California. It's Newsom.
Okay.
Who was he voted in by?
Californians who love him.
They love their policies.
I don't even believe that to be true.
Well, there's something wrong with them.
I think the elections have been rigged for decades.
Yeah, probably.
California. There you go.
You can say it all you want.
It's California.
Anyway, so now we get to the part where we think.
thank our producers. We always thank everybody and it's sincere. We are very, very grateful
that people support us because it's all we have. It's all we do. And we thank everybody $50
and above, never below 50 because people want a limit where they know that they are going to
be anonymous. And for some reason, people want to be anonymous. I've never really understood
why. Are they afraid that someone's going to find out? I mean, of all the things you could be
listening to are we really a problem you ever wonder about that i've run into there's a uh this goes back
a number of years i've talked about this before there was a little uh cockney girl that used to be on
the e-news and i was in l-a once and having a lunch with a producer of e-news and she was at the table
and she was she i introduced her to the show and i said you should listen to the show okay and so she
listened to the show. She listened to the show once and never listened again thinking and I tried
get some feedback. Why did she stop listening to the show? She was afraid she was going to be arrested
because she was a green card holder and she didn't think that it was right to be listening to
this show. Good on you. And don't burn flags while you're at it, Cockney Girl. Then we always
have a special thank you for people of means who are able to support.
us in the level of Hollywood producers and it's not for everybody and we're just as happy with
whatever value you want to give back to the show, no agenda donations.com. It's super simple.
But if you are able to support us with $200 or more, we reward you with an associate executive
producer title. It is a true Hollywood title, which means you can use it anywhere Hollywood style
credits are recognized, including IMDB.com, which is legit. And if anyone questioned you, of course,
we will go to bat for you, we'll vouch for you.
Now, if you are able to support us with $300 or more,
you get an executive producer title,
and of course, the same adheres to that.
And in both cases, we will read your note.
We also have our Secretary General limited promotion.
Is it limited?
How are you limiting this?
We should limit that.
But everything gets limited.
Okay.
Our limited promotion, where you can become a Secretary General of anything you want,
which is no different from Secretary General of NATO, Secretary General of the U.N.
You can be a Secretary General, and it comes with an official Secretary General.
What is the term for this certificate?
This is a proclamation?
A proclamation.
There you go.
Proclamation, exactly.

I'm delighted to inform me that I finally took Adams,
advice and bought my first quarter cow last year.
Very good.
I never knew how delicious a cut of beef could taste until I had one from a local farmer.
Hello.
Very good. Very good.
Next time get a half.
Well, you don't even have to do that.
By the way.
But it depends on whether you want the flanks or not.
But also just get ground beef from them.
I mean, ground beef is so universally usable.
for meatballs, for burgers, for meatloaf,
and it's a lot cheaper than anything you can buy anywhere else.
With all this talk about weight loss drugs, he continues, in the media today,
I was amazed to find that beef is clearly the best option on the market.
After primarily eating beef for three months,
you don't have to plow, and you must not have a freezer.
I was astonished in my weight loss and feeling of fullness.
It was with this newfound knowledge,
that I created meat jarro.
Instead of injecting Mungaro under your skin,
how about injecting meat jarro directly into your mouth,
a delicious local farm race cut of beef.

I am sending this note to say,
just how grateful my family and I are for this community.
It has said quite often on this show that connection is protection.
Few people understand just how true that really is.
For those who didn't know, my family's home suffered a fire in the upstairs on St. Patrick's Day.
We got extremely lucky there was no structural damage, but we did lose the upstairs to smoke, the downstairs to water, and most of all of our belongings.
To keep this note from being egregiously long, because so many of you have stepped forward, I will just say thank you to all of you who donated or pooled donations for our cause.
My family is forever grateful.
I want to personally thank you, Adam, for sharing the GoFundMe link on X.
That share resulted in a $1,000 donation that might have brought me to tears.
It has been a slow process, but by the end of this week, we will finally be back at home.
Again, thank you Gitmonation and the NA adjacent communities for coming together in our time of need.
Connection really is protection.
Jingles, goat karma for all.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Be safe, Aaron Duval, aka Weirdo!

Shut up, slave.
Man, we've talked about a lot of stuff, but we haven't talked about important stuff.
Then I did want to talk about some.
In particular, what's going on over in the EU's.
The first thing as expected, and yes, some would say predicted, the military, I'm sorry,
the war economy of the EU is cranking up.
And now that Germany has no other economy, we're going to have to make the young people
serve in the army, Indusbundersvier, and of course it's all going to be voluntary.
Don't worry.
The bill aims to boost German firepower with 80,000 new soldiers and 150,000
new reservists through a new voluntary military service scheme.
We're now really approaching this task with the declared targets of having 260,000 soldiers
in Germany. And we want to achieve this target. My goal is that Germany, due to its size
and economic strength, is the country that must have the strongest conventional army in NATO
on the European sides. The bill would introduce opt-in military service for young Germans,
with improved pay and conditions to entice new recruits.
And to prepare for war and the automatic re-implementation of conscription,
the bill includes a national census of young people's readiness to serve.
All young Germans would receive a questionnaire as of next January
to assess their fitness, skills and willingness,
compulsory for men but voluntary for women.
And as of July 27, 18-year-old men would undergo a mandatory physical exam,
whether they opt for military service or not.
The bill still needs to be voted in Parliament,
but its announcement comes just months
after Germany passed a whopping 500 billion euro spending bill
to fund infrastructure and defense industry investments.
We not only need a well-equipped force,
which we are working hard to achieve
and have been doing so for two and a half years without stopping,
but we also need a Bundesweir with sufficient personnel.
Only then will the terrorists as a whole
be truly credible visa.
the Russia. There it is, because you've got to be afraid of Russia for the rest of your lives, young people.
Yes, conscription can be possible in this bill. We'll see if it passes. And this is all part of
who is going to have boots on the ground in Ukraine. Will there be boots on the ground? What will
the Article 5 like provisions be? Well, for that answer, we go to our Canadian SME subject matter
expert, Andrew Rissoulos, my guy. Let me just go first to the boots on the ground.
option. It guarantees the most important thing. And there's a lot of circular discussion going on
here. And, you know, people saying, you know, the Russians have no say on what NATO does or Western
powers do. The point is, they do because they have to agree to a ceasefire or a peace,
in which case those forces could, in theory, come into play. So the Russians have repeatedly said
that's not going to happen. And unless they change their minds, it's not going to happen.
So now, let's go on with that one a bit.
So it's circular.
The Russians want like a UN Security Council thing, and Ukraine wants boots on the ground,
some kind of a guarantee.
The Prime Minister, of course, saying that's a possibility.
Now, the Italians have floated an interesting idea, which has not got much press,
but Maloney at the White House on Monday brought it up on the table.
And that's essentially an idea that Ukraine might get Article 5 type,
by certain countries of the Western Alliance,
not part of NATO, but independently, bilaterally.
But the key thing is, no boots on the ground.
So the Italians are saying, put in the guarantees,
you're going to have forces not in Ukraine that are positioned to go in
in case there's a breakdown in the ceasefire or the settlement,
but you actually use a Norway option.
Norway's a member of NATO, but has no NATO troops on the ground.
Never has.
It's part of Norway's law.
They allow for training.
They allow for prepositioning.
It's a way of non-intaginizing the Russians and the Soviets back in the Cold War days.
There you go.
So we may just have boots in every individual country, just waiting to hang around.
And on this, particularly these Scandinavian NATO countries,
I caught a YouTube of a guy named Stonislav Kapivnik,
Stanislav Kapivnik, think he's Russian, was Russian, is Russian, I don't know.
But he had Colonel Wilkerson on.
Yeah.
Have you seen the Colonel Wilkerson?
Yeah, he's been, we've clipped him before.
So he had, I just have two relatively short clips.
Because we're always talking about, you know, the elites and how we're doing this and the CIA,
and they're the ones that go in and the economic hitmen.
And he was apparently part of the, the real danger, which we were warned of by General Eisenhower, President Eisenhower, the military industrial complex.
And in this, are you listening to, are you doing a different podcast?
Are you on with the, with Chanel?
Are you doing a hit?
Are you doing a hit?
What do you do?
Are you literally just browsing around while I'm talking?
No.
Well, what was that?
Something auto started.
Yeah, because you're browsing around.
You're just browsing around during the show.
No, I am not.
I'm listening because I want to hear about Wilkerson.
Turns out the military industrial complex is responsible for a lot.
It seems, you know, the Europeans are ever more hell-bent on unwiding this, making it as wide as possible.
It does.
I think Merits and Kron and Starmor in particular, but,
other leaders too, following in their wake, so to speak, I think they're all going to be gone very shortly.
I don't think any of them are long live because I think their people are going to understand eventually what's going on.
You know, I know people don't believe me, but in 2002, I was there when we started buying governments.
We bought newspapers, we bought editors, we bought reporters, we bought politicians, we bought people who would be.
Jen Stoltenbergs. We bought people to change. And we didn't do it the way the CIA did it in Chile,
for example, in 68, 69, and 70, and turn them all against Allende. We didn't do it for that
reason because we disguised it. We disguised it by weaponizing liberal democracy. And we sent in
non-governmental organizations. We sent in U.S. aid. We send other people in. We call them Quayhog,
some of them, quasi-government operations, we sent them in, and they had a mission,
and they didn't even know why they were carrying out their mission in many events.
Their mission was to democratize these people and to democratize them in a way that would
make them want to be members of NATO.
Yes, Kwayogs, of course, the DIA is much more sneaky than the CIA, and they also did
Ukraine.
We reap this.
You know, people ask me, why would a country that had a year, years and years long history of neutrality, think to Scandinavian countries, for example, even Norway.
Yeah, okay.
And Trump, so we had some marine pompous and things like that, but not a member of NATO, not officially a member of NATO.
Why would these countries come in?
We bought them.
We got them in.
And then we put the fine cap on it.
We created Ukraine to make them grow increasingly fearful.
of Russia. Because we knew when we created Ukraine in our image that Russia would find that
unacceptable and eventually would attack. And they did. And so then we said, but Joe Biden got this
one, you know, oh, he'll take Lithuania next and Estonia and Latvia and then Poland.
You know, this is, we did this. We did this. History books will show that we did this 20, 30 years
or now. I believe him. But we said this already.
on the show. Well, not, what was you're talking about, you're Brennan being in the Maidon.
No, no, but he's defense intelligence agency, not central intelligence agency.
Well, that makes you wonder exactly why Brennan was in Maidon. He's CIA. For the party.
Who's there for the chicks, for the party, for the champagne. That guy?
I completely believe. He does not look like a party animal to me. The DIA, they are the ones.
They, and they're the ones on social media, they have a whole unit, their whole nudge unit.
That's all, that's all defense.
And that's what we were warned of, of the military industrial complex.
That's why I play these clips.
I believe that.
I believe it was defense intelligence agency.
That's what Laura Logan's husband did.
He literally, now, he says, I can talk about it now because it's past whatever time.
I was sciops, man.
I was sciops.
DIA sciops.
I believe it.
I think that you're starting to act like a Fredericksburger.
I am not convinced that the DIA is omnipotent as he says, or anybody does,
because I think they're the boneheads of the group.
I don't know.
They probably maybe got it started, but they had to have Brennan and the boys go in there
to really take care of it.
You don't think that Victoria Newland's got anything to do with the D.
The CIA, I really doubt it.
State Department, I don't know.
The State Department is different.
That's another group of spooks.
So, it's a whole bunch of spooks.
But I'm, I...
Well, they're all trying to take credit for each other's work.
Well, there's that.
For sure, there's that.
No.
But there it is.
We bought off editors.
We bought off newspapers.
Well, yes, again, the CIA process.
Now, he demeans what they did what the CIA did in Chile, as if it was like a one-on-
off. Well, look what data is sucks.
And we do a better job because we bought all these kids.
I think this is nonsense.
All I know is the CIA was recruiting woke children.
So I don't think that the new CIA is all that impressive.
I'm not, I'm withholding judgment.
I'm not, I don't think the DIA is that impressive if you're going to think that way.
I think they're full of shit.
How about that?
Okay.
That's Dvorak, California.
Go get them, boys.
Maybe you won't be able to get out of Texas with their electric cars.
You'll find them next to the heroin dealer.
It's easy to locate.
Just ask around.
Just ask the hotties.
They'll point you in the right direction.
All right.
Well, I thought it was a nice little series.
I was quite proud of.
I'm not arguing about the clip of the quality.
I'm just, I think this, the analysis that I'm complaining about.
Quite proud of myself.
Hey, there's, dig up a Wilkerson clip.
Yeah, I guess so.
There's a meltdown.
There's a meltdown in Magaland, everybody, meltdown in Magaland.
This is this what you voted for?
Yeah, that's right.
Did you vote for this, Frow, Ingram is mad?
Mr. Secretary, with all due respect,
how is allowing 600,000 students from the communist country of China
putting America first?
Well, the president's point of view is that what would happen if you didn't have those
600,000 students is that you'd empty them from the top.
All the students would go up to better schools.
And the bottom 15% of universities and colleges would go out of business in America.
So his view is he's taking a rational economic view, which is classic Donald Trump,
looking at higher education and saying until we modify that.
That just helps Harvard and UCLA and UCal Berkeley and I mean, you're all helping those schools.
Why?
They're like, you know, basically factories of anti-American propaganda.
And now they're getting a big influx of cash because of the Chinese students.
I mean, I know President Trump has always been very pro-Chinese student.
I just don't understand it for the life of me.
Those are 600,000 spots that American kids won't get.
Well, I tell you what I'm involved.
I'm involved in changing the H-1B.
program, right? We're going to change that program because that's terrible, right? We're going to
change the green card. You know, we give green cards. The average American makes $75,000 a year,
and the average green card recipient, $66,000. So we're taking the bottom quartile. Like, why are we
doing that? That's why Donald Trump is going to change it. That's the gold card that's coming.
And that's we're going to start picking the best people to come into this country. It's time for that
to change. I think we are
American engineering students need to
be given the first role at every job
and I think they're brilliant when given half
a chance. But Mr. Secretary, I know you're
juggling a lot of balls over there. We really appreciate
you're explaining a lot of this to us. Thank you.
Well, first
of all, is the average wage in America
$75,000?
I think it's lower.
It's
a good thing about you. Ask your buddy there.
What, the DIA guy?
No, your machine.
I'm not going to ask my machine that.
Ask her.
Oh, you're...
What's the average wage in the American?
I'm going to have to change her tone so she doesn't sound so sexy.
You're all kind of jitty about it.
Oh, are you getting worked up about it?
Hold on a second.
What is the average income in the United States of America?
The average annual income in the U.S. is around $62,000.
Boom, told you.
Lies.
It's lies.
Yes, Howard Lutnik lies.
So the thing about the, you know, I know, I think we've determined,
or at least I can totally convince that UC Berkeley is a stronghold of CIA operations
to recruit foreign students.
I mean, Ling, Ling and Ding Dong over there and got caught in North Korea,
right out of the journalism school, Berkeley.
Ling Ling and Ding Dong. I forgot about that.
Yeah, I remember them.
Yes, Ling Ling Ling, Ling long sing-song ding dong.
Yes.
And so Berkeley has a tonnage of Chinese nationals.
Always has, even when I was a student, which was years before any of this started to happen.
But now they can, and they try to recruit them is what they're trying to dig.
You know, you get a couple thousand of these guys and maybe one of them will turn, you know, and be a good agent, a spook for the agency going back to China.
because they all go back to China.
And so I don't, I think that's the reason for this.
I think they're trying to try.
I mean, if they're all getting a gold card and spending a million, I can see that.
I mean, all right.
Now you know what you're getting.
And you're getting true party members.
But, uh, Maga not happy.
Is this what exactly what you said?
Is this what you voted for?
It's just what you voted for.
I love that.
That's great.
Everyone always, yeah.
Yeah, kind of voted for this.
It's really true. There's a large segment of people who are just continuously disappointed in President Trump. Continuously.
They were disappointed from the get-go. They never liked the guy in the first place.
No, no, no, they don't like anything he does. They were hopeful. They were hopeful. They were hopeful.
They were hopeful for what? What do they expect the guy to do?
He's going to expose the elites, the petos, drain the swamp, all this stuff. And he's done, none of it, I tell you. None of it.
They're just telling me what people are saying. I understand their disappointment.
be practical but i'm not talking to you i'm talking about to them oh okay let's go to this these
clips i got four of natcast one post what is this it's a series of clips okay so the if i'm
understanding this correctly the company is set up because they're going to get handed a whole boatload
of money and then they're going to turn around and allocate it to specific kinds of research
Oh, I'm sorry, not, okay, I won't complain about your naming, but okay, it was not here, because, yes, here's.
Yeah, they all say one, but this, yeah, and the post one doesn't, you know, you can complain about the
naming because it, it lacks a certain consistency, I agree with you.
Before we get to it, you have two number threes.
Which one do I play when we get to it?
You determine that.
I'm going to have to look at the time codes or look at the date.
Here we go. One of them's the number four. Okay. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik announced that he's clawing back billions of dollars earmarked by the Biden administration for a company called Natcast. What the heck is Natcast? Well, it's basically a middleman that decides who gets pieces of the government fiscal pie. Specifically, cash set aside in the Chips and Science Act for a semiconductor research. In a letter obtained by the post, Lutnik said that he was canceling a multi-billion dollar contract that funneled tax.
payer dollars through Natcasts, which again was created by the Biden administration,
with a hunk of money, and we're talking billions here, that was pushed through just a few days
before the former president left office. The nonprofit selection committee was made up of former
Biden administration alums, and according to Lutnik, it effectively cut the current administration
out of the mix entirely. Joining me now, the New York Post reporter who broke this story,
Washington Bureau Chief Josh Christensen. So Josh, it's pretty rare that we talk about something on the
podcast that no one has ever heard of. Why does this company Natcast exist? I mean, who runs it?
Well, Natcast was an invention of the Biden administration. It was something that was
cooked up, you know, the last two years of the Biden administration and basically crammed full of
staff from departing members of the Commerce Department and other allies of the admin. And it was a
nonprofit that was essentially set up to receive $11 billion worth of taxpayer
funding in order to transmit it towards semiconductor research and development.
Yeah, this is a big controversy, this.
What's interesting to me is this is not being discussed much.
I never heard a Natcast.
No, I never heard of that.
And here we go with another bullcraft operation that was set up as a front for money laundering.
The way I see it, this is just money going to somebody's pockets.
We don't need the semiconductor companies make enough money that they can do their own
damn research. And most of the research
in semiconductors nowadays is done out of
Holland, but that company that makes
the UV
etchers. Asimel?
Those guys. Yeah, those guys are the hot
shots in this regard. These
semi-
semiconductors, all they do is
design chips and they don't need
research money. It's just bull
crap. Okay.
Okay. So if I'm understanding
this correctly, the company is set up because
they're going to get handed a whole boatload of money
and then they're going to turn around and allocate it to specific kinds of research involving semiconductors.
Okay.
I've got to have that squared away now.
So that doesn't sound, I don't know, weird to me.
Can you explain to me what the issue is?
What is?
What is Lutnik saying the problem is with Natcast getting that money and then allocating it as they see fit?
The main problem is the lack of federal oversight and the fact that such an entity, which has
exist in the past and will certainly exist again in which a, you know, private group is stood up
by the government in order to distribute funding, you know, any kind of law will have different
sorts of funding initiatives, often flow to state entities, nonprofits, that sort of thing.
But in this case, the law, the Chips Act, which was one of the big bills that Biden passed
during his admin, did not set up any sort of independent, extra governmental entity to take all that
money and throw it out the door. And Letnik is saying, well, we have no clue where all this went.
And in particular, what we know for a fact is it was $11 billion in total. But $7.4 billion worth of
that went out the door in the last four days of the administration with no oversight.
And so he's wanting to, you know, call them to account for this and say, well, you know, where's
this money gone? We don't know. We have no way of looking into it. And so I'm voiding this agreement as
it stands currently. Okay. So on the, is that what you voted for side of the equation? The
complaint is, what kind of capitalism is this? Well, you're taking a stake in companies.
I did not hear anyone say, what kind of capitalism is this? Where you're giving people money?
It's both wrong. Well, I say if you're going to give them money, at least get something.
I mean, I'm not a defender of the idea of buying chunks of intel, which is most people
see as a failing company.
Yeah.
Unless you know something's going to happen and it's going to profit the government.
Oh, insider trading by the government.
Interesting.
That would be okay.
Yeah, yeah, that would be great.
But do you think that's possible?
I don't.
No.
Because I don't think the government's that skilled.
But this whole Natcast thing and throwing, this is too much money being.
just thrown around aimlessly.
This is ridiculous waste.
But it was already thrown around.
It was already spent.
Yeah, well, everyone's gone nuts.
Yes.
So now I've looked at the timestamps, and I believe the two-minute 11 clip will be
clip four.
Could that be right?
We have a one-minute clip next, and here we go.
So what happens to the money now?
Where does this money go?
Especially if there's a legal challenge.
I mean, is it just sitting there in limbo?
I mean, it was kind of, I mean,
as far as I could tell, they were saying that up until 2034, there were plans to have some
sorts of payments annually. So it's unclear whether the voiding of it would then allow them to
claw it back entirely or whether they've already tried to send most of it out, even from
Natcast, right? So it's even a step further away from the government's coffers. But yeah,
it's something that I'm sure Lutnik's team was talking about with them today after they received
the letter. As with the EPA case, you know, you see there's many steps in the process before the
government can actually just get the money back because it's already gone through so much to get
out of taxpayers' hands and into the pockets of special interests or whoever might be in line for
it. This is a facet of the changing of the garden government that I never actually do about or
thought of, but it makes a lot of sense. So a very great story. Thank you for breaking it and coming
on the podcast to talk about it. Josh Christensen. Thanks so much. Sounds like we did it.
of order.
I think that probably concludes it.
I don't think you need to play the long clip.
Okay, but just so you know, the long clip was done at 820, 820 and 41 seconds,
and the shorter clip was 820 and 20 seconds, so I just presumed.
I think that may have been the chip time.
Probably.
Yeah, so it doesn't make any sense.
All right.
Well, I'd have to go to the original.
original files. But I think that summarizes. The problem is we have another waste of taxpayers' money,
and you wonder why we're in debt $35 trillion. Ah, but that's, that's all ending. That's all ending.
Oh, are you kidding? Any minute now. Any minute. I, of course, watch the, the Trump show, the cabinet
meetings, highly entertained. The three and a half hour Trump, uh, oh, I love it. I can't get enough of it.
I let wait to set it up set it up set it up here is NPR we'll set it up for you did anything else stand
out to you about this very very long cabinet meeting well it was very very long according to
fact base which how long was it these things it was the longest trump event ever longer than any
other cabinet meeting and it was effusive cabinet secretaries took turns showering trump with
praise like the labor secretary who said Trump should come over to the department to see
the banner they now have hanging on the side of the building of his quote big beautiful face oh my
goodness well that's what mpr does with your money we'll just actually listen to what was said
this is now scott besant who by the way i should mention this is part of the a gays have you
heard about this the a gays nope you've got me on this one yes yes a gays yes that's a new
so he's gay i didn't he's out gay oh besant yeah yeah bests
gay. Oh, okay. B-Bissons, okay. A-gays? Yeah, it's called the A-gays. Here, New York Times, I got the article
for you. Donald Trump's, oh, that's not loading now, of course, for a moment. I don't know why that's
happening. Hold on. I had it on archive.org, but for some reason, New York Times probably took
it down. Here we go. Donald Trump's big gay government. Big gay government?
Yes. It's his big, because he has a lot of gay guys in there.
And, oh, shoot, man.
No, I'm sorry.
Now the, now I can't get to the article.
Oh, that sucks so bad.
Let me see.
They blocked it.
They did block it.
Well, let me see.
Here's another version of it.
So they talk about the A gays.
They're mostly out.
Is A-g-g-g-g-g-g-y-.
Yes, as in the top of the top dogs, the top days.
It would be a capital A.
Capital A dash capital G-A-Y-S.
They're mostly out there proud to work for President Donald Trump,
and they have big jobs inside or alongside this administration.
They have big what?
They have big jobs, big jobs inside or alongside this administration.
They wield influence all over town from the Pentagon to the State Department to the White House to the Kennedy Center.
We're like Visa.
We're everywhere you are you.
want to be. The most powerful outgay man in the Trump administration is Bessent.
There are a handful of others in the Treasury Department. Other A-gays include Tony Fabrizio,
the president's longtime pollster, Trent Morse, outgoing deputy assistant to the president,
Richard Grinnell, who was put in charge of the Kennedy Center, and Jacob Helberg,
an Undersecretary of State. These are just some. There are lots of other lesser-known men who
make up the tribe. This is a great article. Let me read another.
paragraph. They're overwhelmingly white. Oh, it's the white gays.
The white gays. There's something bad. We knew there was something wrong with them.
They tend to have a certain kind of look. Close-cropped haircuts,
window-pane suits. They're not the type to be telling anyone their pronouns or using the word
queer. No, because they're normal guys who just happen like guys. They don't have to be
weird and queer. And they aren't the least been offended that the leader of their party
continues to stoke a moral panic
about transgender people.
Exactly. They're gay.
How is this a shocker to anybody?
The New York Times. They're gay,
but they're still Republicans.
This is fantastic.
Keep reading.
Really? You want me to keep reading?
Let me see if I can.
The gay men who work for him
are keenly aware they're in hostile territory
surrounded by other gay men
who consider themselves deluded traders
or worse. At gay bars
around town than on dating apps,
they're either iced out or confronted about the things this president has said and done.
He cut AIDS relief around the world, an HIV vaccine research, and funding for LGBTQ plus
suicide prevention services.
Not true.
His defense secretary announced during Pride Month that the Navy vessel named after Harvey Milk
will be renamed as an outrage amongst the gay community.
Perhaps most worrying for many gay people is how the conservative Supreme Court has become,
thanks to Trump.
Could same-sex marriage go the way of Roe?
It's not out of the question.
This is all supposition at this point in the article.
Gay Trump.
In other words, the New York Times article that you started reading with some actual information,
although it's an upside-down pyramid the way to do journalism, but that's okay.
It shows that it just starts to fall apart and go into supposition and opinion.
Gay Trump appointees interviewed for this article,
some of whom said they weren't authorized to speak on the record.
Dismiss such a probrium, a probrium, what does that mean?
Approbrium. What does that mean?
It has a, you need to ask your friend, I can almost define it, but I can't with any real accuracy.
Something that brings disgrace.
Okay.
Public disgrace.
Dismiss such a probrium as overheated liberal whining.
They argue that the battle for gay rights has basically been.
one, and there's never been a Republican as friendly to the gays as Trump.
He's a friendly gay lover guy.
Did they say the gays?
No.
They said gay.
Did I say the gays?
No, they argue.
You said the gays.
They argue for the battle for gay rights as basically been one.
There's never been a Republican as friend.
Yeah, as friendly to the gays as Trump.
Yeah, there you go.
The gays.
The gays.
Did you write this for the New York Times?
Own up to it.
This is a great article.
love the whole A-gays.
Yeah. And you know what? They're just
good-looking men who are just
dressing nicely, doing their
thing, not walking around, going, I'm gay.
Yes.
Surprise. Yeah, they're gays,
not fruits.
Surprised what New York Times? Surprise? Anyway,
here's the top A-gay, Scott Besson telling us,
we don't have to worry about the deficit.
On the international front, you have
leveled the international trading
system whereby countries took advantage of us, and that's over. It's over. The Treasury Department
is taking in record tariff revenues that I had been saying was running at a rate of $300 billion
a year. You chastised me for saying that that number is too low. And as usual, you're right
that we had a substantial jump from July to August.
And I think we're going to see a bigger jump from August to September.
So I think we could be on our way well over half a trillion,
maybe towards a trillion dollar number.
This administration, your administration, has made a meaningful dent in the budget deficit.
The average budget deficit during this term is 26% less than the last 12 months under bottom.
And even the CBO, and we don't agree with CBO on everything, as you said, last Friday, on a summer Friday, had to admit that they believe over the next 10 years the budget deficit will be $4 trillion lower than they had previously scored.
4 trillion, 3.3 trillion of tariff income, 700 billion of lower interest cost, and, you know, I would expect that that number could go up from here.
Yeah, $4 trillion.
Woo-hoo!
It's going to be great.
We'll only have $32 trillion to go.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
On no agenda in the morning.
But before we go anywhere, we have a lot more show to go.
We have, of course, end-of-show mixes.
We have a tip of the day.
And we always want to thank our supporters who supported us with value for the value they received.
$50 and above left on the docket.
John will list them and name them for you.
Yeah, we're going to start with Hank there in $113.41 cents.
Parts unknown.
And you can read this note because it's a night note.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, says Hank.
Dame Rita's up at the top of the list in Sparks, Nevada.
She comes in with $108.28, which is the date.

We don't want people.
We don't want blankets.
We don't want water.
We don't want people.

Probably never.
Wesley D. Stewart III in Mesa, Arizona, 6262, another birthday donation.
Les Tarkowski and Kingman, Arizona, 6,006.
And there's Sir, laugh a lot with 5809, another knighting donation, which you should read part of at least.
It's a long note that shouldn't be in the middle of a donation segment like this.
It's actually for a damehood for his German shepherd dog, Shona.
She was five years old when Katrina hit.
We had to evacuate with my parents, my 18-month-old son and wife.
Our house in Metairie was destroyed like so.
Metery.
Metteries, thank you.
We evacuated to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Once a month, they would drive down to New Orleans to help my parents and friends to rebuild.
During this time, my wife and son were alone in our little apartment in Shona, with Shona.
She was the best protector they could have.
I would like to dedicate this damehood to Shona, the protector of Katrina's survivors.
Now she can join me, Sir Laughalot, and Dame Maggie, our rescue lab at the roundtable.
I still have to work out a knighthood for my first dog, Shelby, and my second dog, Trixie.
I hope to get that done before your exit strategy comes to fruition.
I've been listening since the very first show.
I think John's first tip of the day was to buy black underwear.
Back then, you were discussing the Hema underwear.
Yes, but that was white.
I met John at one of the first meetups in Bluxie, Mississippi.
A few years, no, MS, yes, Mississippi a few years ago,
and someday hope to meet Adam in person as well.
I apologize for the long note, but I wanted to thank you for being a constant in my life
during some trying times and providing much-needed laugh.
Sincerely, Sir, laugh a lot.
It was worth reading the note.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, it was a good note.

Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Those are my three entrants for end-of-show ISO.

Thank you.
Especially the one.
Let's play that first one again.
They're just Durka, Durka, Dukkah, Dukkah, Dukkah, Dukkah, Dirka, Durka, Dugger.
Got nothing to do with anything.
No, that's why I like it so much.
It's really good, though.
Yeah.
I just have a clip from a Hank Harrison, New King of the Hill show.
Oh, here we go.
I don't believe this.
They're lying on the news.
Okay.
I like that one.
I think you win.
You knew it.
That's why you only had one.
He's like, it's a shoeing, and it's not even AI.
That is it, everybody.
Are you standing by for John's tip of the day?
He's ready to roll for you.
Create it fast for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
Okay.
Okay.
So I, this is a screwball tip because I came across it because I'm reading somebody's
substack column and they sell this stuff.
And I said, this is interesting.
So I looked into it.
And then I got irked by the fact that they're selling.
selling this stuff, like three times what you can buy it for any place in the world.
Hmm.
And so I got a little annoyed, but I looked at, this is a product.
This is a sugar, a sugar.
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, this is a sugar, too, oh honey, honey, honey.
A sugar substitute that is, looks to be safe, not toxic.
Really?
It has, and people should look this up, do your own research, but look this stuff up.
can buy it, everybody makes it, because there's about three or four factories here and there
that produce it. It's produced from, there's a natural occurring substance that you can also
extract from fructose. So it's, it's a factory-made product the way I see it. And it's called
elulose. A-L-L-O. I'm sorry, A-L-L-U-L-S-E. A-L-L-O-S-E.
and I'll read from the from the Google here it's a rare natural sugar found in small quantities
in certain fruits like figs for example have this stuff and raisins for some reason
it offers the sweetness of fructose yet is metabolically distinct it is it is does not
affect glucose or insulin levels in any way shape or form so it's neutral to on the
the body and has no calories basically it's got really like a point something calories and it tastes
just like sugar exactly the same and so but this is not a chemical it's some kind of extract
it's it's it's actually uh it's the it's the c3 epiomer of fructose so it's it's produced it's it's a chemical
like sucrose and they're all chemicals at the end of the day you go ahead and you eat that
I'll just have sugar.
Yeah, you can have your sugar.
Yeah, which is a chemical, by the way, if you haven't noticed.
Sugar is a chemical?
Yeah, of course it is.
It's sucrose.
Well, how about cane sugar?
It's extracted at a refinery.
How about if I just stick a sugar cane into something I want sweetened?
That would be fine.
Or you could do what I like to do, which is use maple syrup.
Oh, I love doing that.
For everything.
Do you know what I do with my maple syrup?
When I make salmon, and we get salmon special from somebody who's actually getting it from somewhere.
There's not from some farm.
So we have it only once a month maybe.
So I will drizzle a little bit of maple syrup on the top.
And then I will put on lemon pepper.
And then I do 12 minutes at 390 in the oven.
And then five, because it's big pieces, five minutes under the broiler,
500. Oh, man. And then that maple syrup, it just comes to life. And that's your recipe for
overcooked salmon. Now, going back to this tip of the day, this is a, you do not pay more.
This is not a cheap product. That's why you don't see it in Diet Coke or anything. So it's
about $10 a pound. Do not pay more than $10 a pound. You should be able to get it even cheaper if you
buy it in bulk. Do not pay over $10 a pound, which,
You're just getting ripped off if that's the case.
But it's called lulose.
That's the tip of the day as a sugar substitute.
That is actually probably a good product.
There you go, everybody.
Does John's tip of the day find them all at tip of the day.

Become Miss Caitlin Jenner
I've never been to a White House ball
Sponsored by Big Pharma
Or invited to a party
That was hosted by Michelle Obama
Social justice moves too fast for me
Homophobia is the place to be
What is a woman's now up for debate
They say they're not gay
They're definitely not straight
Use the right pronouns
Or you'll feel the hate
That's why the ladies
is a trans
male pattern
baldness is under
those curls
looks like a drag queen
in ermine and pearls
can't quite fit in
with the rest of the girls
that's why the lady
is a trans
she's got that
excesscessus
bodily hair
Something down there
To chug
A bloke from California
With a fagneyo clan
That's why the ladies are trans
Wave it high, wave it white
They can't silence what's inside
Authorities don't want to see
Slags of pride and unity
Commies frown and rulers glare
But we still raise them in the air
Pushed and bullied
Still we stand
Showing pride
For our legs
Raise it up
Let the flags all fly
They can't stop but still they try
Raise it up
Let the whole see
Unity in you and me
St. George Cross above the crowd
Union Jack is flying proud
Scotland's blue and Ireland's green
Whale still roars the dragon scene
Pushed and buoyed still we stand
Showing pride for our land
Raise it up, let the flags all fly
They can't stop us still they try
Raise it up, let the whole world see
Unity in you and me
St. George Cross above the crowd
Union Jack is flying proud
Scotland's blue and island's green
Whale still roars the dragon scene
They don't like it
We don't care
Still our colors
Fill the end
Raise it up
Let the flags all fly
They can't stop us
Still they try
Raise it up
Let the whole world see
Unity
Me and you and me
