Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, you know, this is the new me. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorec. It's Thursday, April 30th, 2026. This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1864. This is no agenda. 86ing the M5M and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Refinery Row where we do not practice weather modification.
Starting point is 00:00:27 I'm John C. DeVorek. It's crackpot and buzzkill What now about weather modification? It's apparently going on in Iran. Oh, well, of course. The weather machine. Yes, of course. It's great.
Starting point is 00:00:42 What kind of weather do they have? Well, they're trying to give them to make the drought worse, but then I guess they found some of these microwave fields, and so the Iranians blew them up. Now it's raining. So we were doing that all along, huh? Hmm. Well, this is some podcaster.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Oh, okay. You know, I mean, maybe we were. It's possible. Was it a podcaster just asking questions? No, no. They had some guy on there that knew all about it. Well, the weather modification is real. We know that's real.
Starting point is 00:01:17 It's real. It's real. But I prefer the earthquake machine a little better myself. I think that's more fun. Yeah, maybe they can't. There's maybe nothing there to earthquake. Oh, yeah. And of course, there's some.
Starting point is 00:01:28 something to earthquake there. There's plenty, plenty left to do. Yeah, the problem is there's so many faults in the Middle East that they blow up their wrong country. There is a lot going on in the world. And may I remind everybody, you are listening to the No Agenda Show. It is the best podcast in the universe. And we are value for value. You will not hear advertisements during this program. So sit back, enjoy the value that comes to you. and later on in the show, if you think, wow, that was valuable, we'll give you an opportunity to help us by sending some value back in the form of time,
Starting point is 00:02:07 talent, or treasure. I think you start with something that's screwy. Did you notice that Kara Swisher has a special on Kara Swisher, I want to live forever? Yes. Have you seen this? I've seen a little bit. First of all, she has an eternal scowl on her face. Yes, I know.
Starting point is 00:02:26 You know, the funny thing is, when she smiles, she looks good. Yes, but her... She's got a nice smile. But it's eternally in a frown. Like, if you drew a frowny face, a line, because she has no lips, that's Kara Swisher's mouth. It's, and we must just stop for a moment and remind everybody that her on-camera media career is all thanks to you. You gave her her first. I gave her her first.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Her first break. Her big break. Yeah. Was it Silicon Spin or cranky geeks or both? Silicon Spin. Silicon Spin. An old school. I mean, you think, you kids listening to the TBM podcast. Stop, but go ahead. Stop.
Starting point is 00:03:14 But go ahead. No, it's more like, uh, yeah, I'm going to interrupt you, but go ahead. Yeah, let me just say something like because I want to talk about myself, but go ahead. But go ahead. Uh, I'm going to say the real truth here, the facts, but go ahead. So anyway, they started this thing And, you know, I said, well, it just came out. So I click on it initially saying, what is this?
Starting point is 00:03:33 And they won't, no, you got to subscribe to CNN. Oh, no. Some bullcress. Well, no, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I saw it on CNN.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I saw a bit of it. Yes, because they pulled the plug on the subscribe thing and put it on the regular, they put it on the regular feed. Because no one was subscribing to it. No one was subscribed. I wasn't doing much of a draw. So I watched part of the first. one extremely overproduced. They puts money into this thing.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Now, wait a minute. The premise of the show, as I understood it, from watching it on the quad screen, flipping over to the top right corner and briefly turning on the volume, it seems like this is a show about products or health or people who want to live forever, mainly Silicon Valley, nut jobs? You nailed it. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:19 All right, all right. Kind of a mockery of them. Yes. So I recorded this 14-second clip, which I think summarizes her attitude, the show and everything in between. And it also, if you hear this little 14-second clip, you probably won't want to watch the show. But let's play this. It's under Karras Wisher. The more you think about death, the happier you are as a person. I'm going to be cremated, for sure.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I'm going to be thrown in the face of people. I don't like. That was Kara. Yeah, that sums it up. We should do this for all kinds of shows. What not to watch and why in 14 seconds or less. We're thinking of death that makes you happy and I want to have my ashes thrown in everyone who doesn't like me's face.
Starting point is 00:05:14 What? What? This is her general attitude. That's her attitude. That's her attitude. That's fine. You know, you watch things that surprise me. You keep sending me the redacted nut jobs.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Like, why? The only time I watched is when you send me a link, I'm like, why am I watching this? Literally showing things that we laugh at three days before. Well, you know, the white house, she was at the White House. And she called in and she said, well, you know, Carolyn Levitt's husband leaned over to me. And he said, you know, you got to be.
Starting point is 00:05:52 be careful. And then the phone call was cut off. Come on, man. Come on. Good stuff. Come on. You want me to stop sending you this material? No, but it ruins my morning. Watch in the afternoon. Let me get us started here because we had a visit. Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla will be in New York City today. It's the second leg of their historic U.S. visit. On Tuesday, the King spoke to Congress, met with the President. and he was a guest of honor at a state dinner last night. CBS
Starting point is 00:06:26 News, royal contributor, Roya Nika's here. I'm wondering what you make of the King's speeches in both places because people said that he's... By the way, this reporter of royalty, her name is Roya. Can you believe it? Roya Nica. Roya Nica. That needle very carefully. Did any
Starting point is 00:06:43 thing he say surprised you? I don't know whether it surprised me. I thought both speeches were quite punchy. And they were in a very soft power, diplomatic. soft power. Meadling kind of way. I thought some of the comments in the Congress speech, the reference to NATO, the importance of NATO,
Starting point is 00:06:59 Charles talking about his service in our armed forces. We know that Donald Trump has not been so kind about our armed forces recently, but that focus on repairing and renewing the special relationship so much around this trip has been about how damage the special relationship is because of our respective governments. And I thought the way that Charles delivered some quite punchy points to Donald Trump, but under the guise of, you know, you're my friend. Donald and we know how keen Donald Trump is on our royal family. I thought he pulled it off
Starting point is 00:07:26 very well. I know you have a couple of clips about this. Just want to get these two out of the way. So just to review, this is how the British felt that the speech was going to go. I asked if there was sort of any reservations on the part of the King. And I was told not reservation, but apprehension. That he's going to try very hard to get the tone right in his speech to Congress. Not worried about the visit. Not worried about the Trump stuff because he's done that before and he knows Trump. But his questions really were about how you get the bit to Congress right. And I was told, and this was a sort of unforgettable quote, so forgive me, the speech is full of lines that will go over the president's head, but we'll go down beautifully at home. And I said, what on earth do you
Starting point is 00:08:11 mean by that? Oh, because our president is stupid, you see. So we'll go over the president's head. So I only have one clip from the king, where were the no king's protest, from the king's speech to the joint houses of Congress. And this is the one that just, that the Democrats love this one. This was perfect. The founding fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause. They carried with them and carried forward. the great inheritance of the British Enlightenment, as well as the ideals which had an even deeper history in English common law and Magna Carta.
Starting point is 00:08:57 We didn't run away from them at all. This is now we carried with them the deep ideals. Do you mean the European Enlightenment? Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay, British. All right, sure. Oh, yes. Golf flaps, golf claps.
Starting point is 00:09:14 These roots run deep, and they are, still vital. Our declaration of rights of 1689 was not only the foundation of our constitutional monarchy, but also provided the source of so many of the principles reiterated, often verbatim, in the American Bill of Rights of 1791. And those routes go even further back in history. The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated. that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases in 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances. Oh, check is.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Yeah. The same people who brought you no kings are cheering on the king, because he said checks and balances for our king, our king is no good. Oh my lord. That was, that was, uh, no kings. I like the Trump, I think, reposted one of the photos with the, with the caption two kings.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Well, he hasn't, I don't know what clips you have, but I have a 30-second kind of funny bit from the dinner. I'll just play that. I'll go to play it. Yeah. And I also want to, before we really begin,
Starting point is 00:10:51 I want to congratulate Charles on having, made a fantastic speech today at Congress. He got the Democrats to say, and I've never been able to do that. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. They liked him more than they've ever liked any Republican or Democrat, actually. So I just want to thank you and congratulations. It's not an easy thing to do.
Starting point is 00:11:18 That's a tough place. Lordy, Lordy. Do you have anything from the speech? the dinner? It's kind of not any specific clip. I thought the speech was dull. Yeah, the speech was very dull. The dinner was better.
Starting point is 00:11:35 There were some good things. Yeah, there was some good. PBS has a rundown. I thought it was pretty good. This is a king's visit. Uh, king where is? King's visit. Here we go. The king and queen of England were received with high diplomatic fanfare this morning at the White House
Starting point is 00:11:51 day two of the royal visit. This afternoon, King Charles became just the the second monarch to address Congress. In this, the 250th anniversary of America declaring independence from the king's five times great-grandfather. It's King George III. Why the laugh in there? What is the laugh about the five-times great-grandary? I just don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Did you hear it? That's an excellent spot. Congress. I have no idea. That's interesting. To address Congress. In this, the 250th anniversary of America declaring individual. independence from the king's five times great-grandfather.
Starting point is 00:12:29 That's King George III. I don't want to do. What's so funny about that? I mean, I think it's funny that he's here. Well, we're celebrating that. But, okay. Nick Schiffran reports. Today at a rainy White House, there was pomp, pageant trope,
Starting point is 00:12:49 and a crappy high school band. It sounds terrible. And after this military. ceremony, the U.S.'s' highest diplomatic honor, President Trump did what Brits do when things might get a little bit awkward. Talk about the weather. What a beautiful British day this is. President Trump is the son of a Scott, and today recalled his mother's fondness for everything royal, especially a man Trump today called a blessing.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I also remember saying very clearly, Charles, look, young Charles. Charles, he's so cute. My mother. My mother had a crush on Charles. Can you believe it? Amazing how I wonder what she's thinking right now. And President Trump celebrated what he called the free world forged together 80 years ago by President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Starting point is 00:13:51 That understanding of our nation's unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship and we hope it will always remain that way. Yeah, special relationship. Special. No one ever talks about what that is exactly, other than our CIA and MI6 are in bed together.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Yeah, five eyes. That's very special. Yeah, that's all it is. Mm-hmm. Sharing information. According to Kyriaku, they actually don't keep anything from each other. Oh, I have some Kyriaku for later.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Oh. Ooh. That guy is all over the place. He's got an agent now, you know. Of course he does. The agent has an agent. Got to have an agent if you're an agent. Yeah, there you go. Okay, part two of this. America's words carry weight and meaning. Meaning. As they have since independence, the actions of this great nation matter even more.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And so this afternoon, for only the second time in almost exactly 250 years of separated, history, a British monarch addressed a joint meeting of Congress with an appeal to unity. Whatever our differences, whatever disagreements we may have, we stand united in our commitment to uphold democracy. Democracy! To protect all our people from harm and to salute the courage of those who daily risk their lives in the service of our countries. That line, an echo of the first and before today only British monarch to address a joint session of Congress, Charles's mother, Queen Elizabeth II, 35 years ago. The best progress is made when Europeans and Americans act in concert.
Starting point is 00:15:38 It is an era that is in many ways more volatile and more dangerous than the world to which my late mother spoke. But even if in a soothing baritone, King Charles did not avoid trying British distinction in his baritone. He's not a baritone. Do you find him a baritone? Yeah, I find him a baritone. I find him a baritone.
Starting point is 00:16:02 British way with the Trump administration. You must also reflect on our shared responsibility to safeguard nature. That same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people. We answered the call together as our people have done so for more than a century. shoulder to shoulder. But today, that implicit criticism did not dampen the president's writing royal coattails, the White House posting this photo with the caption, Two Kings. So let's talk about the special relationship.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And before you do, though, let's go back to Queen Elizabeth's comment that she didn't even mention the U.K. or the special relationship. She said the Europeans. Yes. Because that's when they were thinking they're part of Europe. Yeah. So the special relationship was discussed at the dinner. I liked the dinner a lot. I thought the first lady looked fantastic.
Starting point is 00:17:06 The whole thing was groovy. Speeches were interesting here as part of that special relationship. My mother's first prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill, understood this so well. But then he himself was half American, a tradition of shared transatlantic her. which I am pleased to say is alive and well in the White House today. Indeed, such was the closeness that, Winston, while staying here in the White House, in the rooms who showed us upstairs,
Starting point is 00:17:39 emerged naked from the bathtub to discover the door opening as President Roosevelt came in for a chat. With rapier wit, the President cast aside me embarrassment by declaring that the Prime Minister has nothing to conceal from the President of the United States. President Trump saw our special relationship in a different manner. And we're doing a little Middle East work right now, two of you might know, and we're doing very well.
Starting point is 00:18:11 We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we're never going to let that opponent ever. Charles agrees with me, even more than I do. We're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear. They know that, and they've known it right now very powerful. Okay, no nukes, but I'd say the joke of the evening went to King Charles. If I may say so, it is a particular person to be back in this wonderful building, the heart of your democracy. On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the east wing, Mr. President.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Following your visit to Windsor Castle last year. And I'm sorry to say that we, British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814. Very good. That was funny. That was a good gag. John, for those who do not know their history, explain what happened in 1814? Well, we had the war of 1812, essentially with Canada, but the Brits were behind the whole thing, and they burnt down the White House. Bastards, I tell you.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yes. So he basically admitted that they were behind it all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much. In the meantime, the president went on 60 minutes. As we all know, you know, Barry Weiss running 60 minutes, running CBS. So that would be a friendly interview. And I think the president got exactly what he wanted. Did you see any of this? Oh, yeah. You can play the clip. It's great.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yeah. Well, I have a couple of clips. This is, and this was Nora, and the president was ready for her. The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this. I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist,
Starting point is 00:20:18 and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction to that? Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're horrible people. You're horrible. I did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Oh, you think he was referring to you? I love how she then threw. Oh, you think I was referring to you? Oh, that was great. But this was just, it could have been anybody. But you think it was about you? Good try, Nora. I'm not a rapist.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I didn't rape anybody. I'm not a pedophile. Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person. I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were... The other side of the plate. What does that mean? Is he switching to baseball now? Yeah. There was a couple of things off with the president in this interview. You're friends on the other side of the plate.
Starting point is 00:21:30 The plates are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably, I read the manifesto. You know, as a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. Mr. President, these are the gunman's words. Excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 minutes. You're a disgrace.
Starting point is 00:21:54 But go ahead. The other thing that he wrote. And then the president, I mean, is he the only person in America who does not know the full name Southern Poverty Law Center? Is he the only one who doesn't know that? Because he was right about what he's saying, but, oh, man. I mentioned that because, again, as his motive. You brought this up. He had social media accounts that had anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric. You should read. Why don't you read all the anti-Trust? What don't you read? You just did. So why don't you read it?
Starting point is 00:22:34 Well, he had a lot of anti-Christian rhetoric. He had, he was part of a group called the Wide Awakes. He had attended a No Kings protest in California. No Kings. What did security tell you about what may have been his motives? The reason you have people like that is you have people doing no Kings. I'm not a king. What I am, if I was a king, I wouldn't be dealing with you. No, I'm not a king. I get it. I don't laugh. I see these no kings, which are funded just like the Southern law was funded.
Starting point is 00:23:06 You say, all that, Southern law is financing the KKK and lots of other radical, terrible groups. And then they go out and they say, oh, we've got to stop the KKK. And yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. They were right. It's a total scam run by the Democrats. It shows you that, like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern Law. That was a Southern Law deal, too. And it was done to make me look bad and it turned out to be a total fake.
Starting point is 00:23:35 It basically was a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election. And that's what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your 60-minute episodes, which really hasn't changed very much for the last few years, I'm surprised. but one of those episodes should be on Southern Law and the fact that they spent millions and millions of dollars on absolute far right and just bad, bad groups. And then they'd use those groups and they'd say,
Starting point is 00:24:04 these are Republican groups and we're coming to your rescue. And they're the ones that have funded it, and they're the ones that keep them going. Southern law, Southern law, Southern law. Mr. President, get it together. Southern law. And then the question that she even hesitated to ask because it's so far beneath anyone at 60 minutes. I hesitate to ask you about this, but as you know, these conspiracy theories out there on the left and the right,
Starting point is 00:24:34 that the event was staged or that it didn't happen. What, last night didn't have? That, yeah, that it was because it was your first time there or that Butler didn't happen. These conspiracy theories that are gaining traction on the internet. And October 7th didn't happen. And World War II didn't happen. happen and the Holocaust didn't happen and many things didn't happen. Yeah, no, I hear it. I don't know. I think they're more sick than they are con people, but there's a lot of con in it too.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I haven't heard that last night didn't happen. Usually it takes a little bit longer. It usually takes about four months for our false flags to be recognized by the general public. Usually they wait about two or three months to start saying that. I think that, and forgive me, I'm not, I don't paddle in that. that stuff or certainly look at it. What do you mean? I don't peddle in that stuff. What is this peddling? You just did it. I don't peddle in that stuff or certainly look at it because I was there.
Starting point is 00:25:31 But the idea, I'm wondering where this is coming from. That would be a tough one, I think it would be a tough cell. Yeah. Where's this coming from? She says. Where's this coming from? Oh, you're back. Did you drop off? Oh, okay. Anyway. So that was, did you hear that? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I heard it. What do you got on the shooting? John, I'm sure you got some clips on this shooting on this White House correspondent's inner shooting. Well, you know, there was a lot of, uh, of yacety yak about, oh, you know, it's not our fault and all the rest. And so I, I put together a, just a few short 12 and 13 second clips and a couple of super cuts. Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:10 That we should be reminded what caused the shooting. Oh, okay. And I want to play these. These are all on Trump. Mm-hmm. That's the big. Is this a bit like our, the Trump cycle? What is that?
Starting point is 00:26:24 Yeah, you know, I lost, I lost the list. What was that the Trump? What was that called? That's the problem. I forgot what it's called. Wait a minute. Somebody wanted to give you a copy of it. I said, yeah, I got it right here and I couldn't find it.
Starting point is 00:26:39 It was the, goodness gracious, I can't remember we called it. We called it the, was it the cycle? The Trump derangement thing? No, no. I'm talking about the list of. You know, things he's been accused of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, let's play these on Trump clips.
Starting point is 00:26:54 These are some of the things that triggered the event. Oh, wait, Trump rotation. The Trump rotation. Hold on a second. Should we play that real quick? It's about 58 seconds. Just to remind people, yeah, okay. I have my list, and you might want to see if there's anything I left out.
Starting point is 00:27:08 This is the Trump rotation. There's two categories. There's a regular and then there's a criminal. But here we go. Ready? Yep. Liar. Incompetent.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Unhinged. Illegimate president. White supremacist, racist, bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties, insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis, big red butt, criminal. Mean, racist, immature, thin skin, runs the mob, has no money, unstable, fatter than 239 pounds, bankrupt, 25th Amendment should be instituted. He hates women, misogynist, holds grudges forever, placed golf a lot, obstruction of justice, money laundering, and clown. John, no wonder we're making a miracle white again. And that's from eight years ago? Yeah, eight years ago.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Old, old, old. Okay, so you have some updates to that in a different format, but the idea is clear. Well, here's the old super cut that was probably from the. first that was during the first Trump administration. This is on Trump old supercut. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be. People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator. You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. Enemies of the state. Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless. When they go low, we can. How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck? The biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized up to the right. I thought he should have punched him in the face. I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife. He came down the escalator and called Mexicans, rapists, immersed. He said, well, what do you think I should have done?
Starting point is 00:29:04 I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero. Hero! I'd like to punch him in the face. I said, if we were in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. Punch some people in the face! When was the last time? actor assassinated the president.
Starting point is 00:29:18 They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. Woo! Look, as his character is stabbed to death. Where is John Wilkes' booth when you need him? I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. A Missouri state senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated. I will go and take Trump out tonight.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And if you see anybody from that kid. cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd on them, and you tell them they're not welcome. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and are honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They're not going to stop before election day in November, and they're not going to stop after election day. And that should be, Everyone should take note of that on both levels. That this isn't, they're not going to let up and they should not. If you take me a while you're not, you ain't saying nothing yet.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Oh, I don't see anything inflammatory about that. What's the problem? No, there's nothing. No problem there. Hey, freedom of speech, baby. Free speech. Here's a short, on Trump newer supercut. Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yes, I do. This is what? what kicking the shit out of fascism looks like. Try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that's been unleashed against us. So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist, fascism, a huge component of fascism, is uniting racism, bigotry, a form of racist nationalism. We are now living in a fascist dictatorship. We are worried about potential rise of fascism in this country.
Starting point is 00:31:21 We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government. Not only to roll over to Donald Trump's will, but to roll over our democracy and allow him to take over this country as a fascist dictator. When fascism isn't just coming, it's already here. The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley said, no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump. and he is a fascist to his core. Again, I just don't see why people can get riled up over this. I mean, that sounds just like rhetoric. It's nothing dangerous.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And so we have. By the way, in that second clip there, there was Raskin talking about fascism. Yeah. After the shooting, here's what Raskin said. This is on Trump Raskin. And you have, as many of your fellow Democrats, have used some heated rhetoric against the president.
Starting point is 00:32:18 And do you think twice about that when something like this happens? What rhetoric do you have in mind? Just talking about some of the fact that he, you know, is terrible for this country and so on and so forth. I understand that that's your democratic right. But overall, do you have a responsibility? I have no personal problem with Donald Trump at all. I like how she says that's your democratic right. Constitutional right, maybe.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Democratic right. Is that Nicole Wallace? a moron. That was Dana Bash. Oh, just as good. Let's listen to, here's Mark. This is on Trump, Ruffalo. The guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist.
Starting point is 00:33:02 He's a pedophile. He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble. I'll say I'm a little disappointed because if I'd known you were doing this, I could have gotten And quite a few of voices on the right saying the same thing about Trump being a pedophile. That's not just the left that is saying that anymore. Well, this, it's hard to top this one.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Okay. This is Ted Liu. There's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. Hmm. And this is in the Epstein files? No, it's just something he made up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:51 And the last on this list is Kimmel. Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at, well, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. Disgusting, deranged. If you think it's funny, you're disgusting and deranged. Yeah, to be fair, that was taped before anything happened. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Yeah. And actually, the whole bit he did about, you know, he did this whole bit about well, there's no comedian is going to be a mentalist. Okay. By the way, shouldn't the mentalists have told the president to go away quickly? Wouldn't he have known? Doesn't the mentalist know ahead of time what's going to happen? No.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Oh, that's not a mentalist? No, mentalist. No, mentalist is bull crap. But Kimmel had some funny bits in that. He was doing a, if he were doing the White House correspondent, dinner bit. It was all right. I mean, yeah, it's inappropriate in hindsight. ABC might have considered not airing that in hindsight. But that's just dumb jokes. I'm not offended by any of it. I do have a theory about this guy and how that ties into Comey.
Starting point is 00:35:11 This guy being the shooter. And let's just play a couple of clips. This is the update about 8647. Former FBI director James Comey indicted again by President Trump's Department of Justice. This time by a federal grand jury over a 2025 Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read 8 to 647. Prosecutors argue the numbers can be interpreted as code with 86 sometimes used as slang for eliminate. 47 referring to President Donald Trump as the 47th president, saying the image could be seen as a threat against the
Starting point is 00:35:48 president. Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, announcing the charges during a news conference yesterday. Listen. The first count is at honor about May 15th of last year. He knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm upon the president of the United States. Count two, James Comey knowingly and willfully transmitting an interstate commerce of communication that contained a threat to kill the president of the United States. Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years. So I think it's fair to say that threatening the life of anybody is dangerous and potentially a crime. Threatening the life of the President of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice. While this
Starting point is 00:36:41 case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant, his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate and regularly prosecute. I hate to do this, but I do have to play a funny little bit from the ladies. At the tone, a clip
Starting point is 00:37:00 from the view will be played. Did it again. Shelter in place. Yesterday, former FBI director James Comey was indicted by the Justice Department for a social media message he posted and deleted
Starting point is 00:37:15 last year. It featured a photo of seashells that read 8647. The DOJ claims it's a call for violence. But Comey denies the charges and is ready for his day in court.
Starting point is 00:37:32 So I just want to be clear are they interviewing the seashells themselves? Or are they interviewing Sally who sells seashells? I mean, is what, this is more distraction.
Starting point is 00:37:55 So from now on when we think that there's a, I'm going to start saying distraction alert. That's what this is. You can ring your bell. What? What? What are these ladies doing? Are they trying to do no agenda stuff now?
Starting point is 00:38:12 With a bell. Distraction of the war. Don't look at here. Nothing to see here. Look at that. Yeah, we have the distraction of the week as well. Ladies, easy does it. No, I think I know what's connecting this.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And I was searching for quite a while. And of course, this Cole Allen guy, his Instagram is gone. And his blue cry is gone. So we can't really verify anything. I was kind of looking to see if at any point maybe he had liked some of of Comey's posts or had commented on them or followed. him. And I think there's some wording in his manifesto that is going to be the key issue here for the Department of Justice. CNN reports some of Allen's social media posts compared President Trump to
Starting point is 00:39:04 Hitler, encouraged people to buy guns and questioned whether the first assassination attempt against Trump was staged. Investigators are looking into an account on blue sky, an alternative to acts frequented by progressives, appearing to belong to Allen. He apparently posted under the name Cold Force, the same name signed on his alleged manifesto. Archive posts show him reposting political content and criticism of President Trump and White House policies. He described Trump as a sociopathic mob boss, mob boss, mob boss in relation to the Epstein files. So why is mob boss so important? Well, let's ask the Don himself. They know 86. You know, and 80, it's a mob term for kill him, you know?
Starting point is 00:39:48 You ever see the movies? 86 him. The mobster says to one of his wonderful associates, 86 him. That means kill him. I think of it as a mob term. People think of it as something having to do with disappearing. But the mob uses that term to say, when they want to kill somebody, they say,
Starting point is 00:40:08 86, the son of a gun. I'm trying to keep the language nice and clear. They don't use that term, son of again. They use another term. But that's a mob term for kill them. Do you really think your life was in danger? Probably, I don't know. Based on what I'm seeing out,
Starting point is 00:40:25 the people like Comey have created tremendous danger, I think, for politicians and others. Comey is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop. He cheated on the elections. He tried to help Hillary Clinton, as you know. He dismissed a lot of things. that he should have proceeded with.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I wasn't involved, but he should have proceeded with. No, he's a dirty cop. He's a crooked man, yeah. So having this indictment come out with this mob boss, mob boss, mob talk, mob boss, that's what they're going to hang on him. And if they have
Starting point is 00:41:02 some other link, social media link between that and this guy, that's what they're going to go for. It's not, this isn't going to go anywhere. The whole thing is, I don't think they're really serious about it. they just want to break him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:15 This is going to take the guy's money down to nothing. Major Garrett had a question when Attorney General Todd Blanche was rolling out this 8647, and I think it was a valid question.
Starting point is 00:41:31 In 2022, someone well known in right-wing circles, Jack Poscovic, posted on X, 86-46. He did not take it down. He did not apologize. Mr. Comey has done both of those things. The Biden Justice
Starting point is 00:41:43 Department never prosecuted him. By the standard of that grand jury, Jack Posobic should face charges as well. Will the Justice Department pursue that case? I agree. I agree. Throw Persobic in jail. Arrest that man. He was on with Bannon. Bannon. Bannon. And he says he's, he's lawyered up. He's expecting to be arrested. Yeah. That's excellent. That's good. That's good. Yeah, you shouldn't do that. in general, a bad idea. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a good idea. But there were more...
Starting point is 00:42:20 I just stay out of it. There were more indictments. Not all of them got as much play. Did you hear about the other indictment? Well, the guy that worked for Fauci? Yeah, I got a clip. And that's leading to the thought that Fauci is going to be next, but they have, it seems, until May 11th.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Yeah, because... And then everything goes into statute of limitations. for Fauci. Yeah. So here's a clip about that indictment. Dr. Anthony Fauci's former senior advisor was federally indicted on charges of allegedly taking part in a conspiracy to evade federal records request regarding government-funded COVID-19 research. David Morrance is a former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Official who advised Fauci in the agency's office of the director from 2006 to 2022. He is facing charges of conspiracy against the United States,
Starting point is 00:43:15 alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal, or medulation of records, and aiding and abetting. According to the April 16th indictment recently made public, morons, and at least two co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records to suppress alternative theories about the origins of the coronavirus. The allegations stem from the suspension of a controversial government grant to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit U.S. research organization suspected of contributing to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic through risky virus studies and its subsequent reinstatement. In 2020, the $600,000 grant was terminated based on suspicions that a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology caused the COVID-19 outbreak,
Starting point is 00:43:58 but the grant was restored three years later. Authorities allege that Morins and other co-conspirators work to help co-conspirator 1, who is potentially Echo Health Alliance President Peter Dasik, reinstate the grant and counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab. In anticipation that the communications would be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests, they all allegedly agreed in writing to intentionally hide their collusion from public view by corresponding over Morin's personal Gmail rather than his NIH email account. The three allegedly exchanged non-public NIH information records that should be stored on government systems to influence NIH to fund Echo Health Alliance.
Starting point is 00:44:38 And although we've covered this ad nauseum, the time that all of this came out, just a short clip here to remind us of how brazen these people were about it. Morins, who served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 2006 to 2022, conducted official government business from a private email account and asked the National Institutes of Health's FOIA liaison for tips on how to evade records requests. In an email from February 2021, Morinz wrote,
Starting point is 00:45:07 I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foyed, but before the search starts. He rest the FOIA lady. He later went on to write that he, quote, deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to Gmail. Two months later, in April 2021, Morinz also wrote, There is no worry about foias. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail or handed to him at work or at his house.
Starting point is 00:45:32 What's that? Tony Fauci? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. And he was just writing this. These guys are so dumb. Diana, you guys are dumb. Yeah. ...his private Gmail or handed to him at work or at his house.
Starting point is 00:45:44 He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. In September 2021, Morins wrote that he would, quote, always communicate on Gmail because my NIH email is foiled constantly and, quote, delete anything I don't want to see in the New York Times. Morin's oversaw a now infamous grant from the NIH to the Manhattan-based non-phased non-phobic profit EcoHealth Alliance, beginning in 2014 that ended up funneling U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research. I think the idea here is to squeeze this guy, to squeal on Fauci.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I don't think they need to. I think Fauci's cooked. I mean, with all the lying he did it in front of Rand Paul, I think they're just working on making sure that's airtight. They're not fooling around like the Comey thing, which I don't think is airtight, I think. They're going to go nowhere with it. But the Fauci thing, they're going to get him. I hope so. That guy was evil. And they need to get Collins.
Starting point is 00:46:45 He's not cleaning this either. Remember Collins? Yeah, good point. Who would play in his guitar with his wife? Yeah, that guy. But do we still have that clip? He played Puff the Magic Dragon. Do we have?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Do you remember that? Collins. Yeah, vaguely, yeah. Puff. No, was Puff Corona virus? I don't think I have it. Francis Collins. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Now, if you'll indulge me because it's been kind of promoted as if it might be a grand finale of a musical sort, I guess I'd like to play us out. This was the head, the head of all things, sickness in America. With a little song. Yes. So, if I might, I just need a microphone. Why, there's a guitar, right? here. How about that? It's like he's on a Muppet show. It's like he's Kermit.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Yeah, this is a song where the tune will be familiar to you. There we go. Unless you came from another planet recently. But the words are going to be quite different because this is really a song for you. I'm trying to imagine what will that be like. We're going to get there and you're going to help us get there. So that's what this is about. Arrest him for viola. of music. Somewhere past the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I forgot this one. When we're free. Oh, it was good times on the show back then, John. He had Kennedy's job, essentially. Yeah. And that's what he was doing. Oh, my goodness. My goodness.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And then on this, this is how it happened, you know, basically the same week, same day. Super agent J.D. Vance. The frauds are going after everybody. Currently underway, federal agents seem leaving the Quality Learning Center. And Brooke, Taylor has more on that and what they're looking for. Brooke, good morning. Hi, Bill. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:48:55 We have had a photographer there at the daycare since this morning, capturing video of those federal agents, just going in and out of the building, collecting evidence as part of the DOJ's fraud investigation. in Minnesota. Take a look at this video here. Sources tell Fox that federal agents are rating about 22 businesses across Minneapolis this morning. And sources say many of them are tied to Somali-owned operations. Now, the location that you're looking at right now, it's the Quality Learning Center. This is the day here. It went viral.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It blew up on social media because of a sign outside with learning that was literally misspelled. And then shortly after that, the Trump is. administration announced it was freezing child care funding to Minnesota and calling for a full audit of certain daycare centers. And just checking my emails now, it looks like we got a statement from DHS sharing quote, Homeland Security Investigations in cooperation with our law enforcement partners executed criminal search warrants in Minneapolis relating to the rampant fraud of U.S. taxpayers' dollars. And as you could see, there are federal agents. still outside one of those daycare centers where they have been the last few hours.
Starting point is 00:50:13 And all of this comes as Governor Tim Walts is expected to deliver his state of the state address tonight. And it obviously comes with a lot of questions over oversight. Yeah. Well, it looks like they're doing something. I think people want that. People want to see. I like the fact that Waltz has chimed in and taken credit for the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. You don't happen to have a clip. with him saying that. No, I don't. That's too bad. He's on top of it. Oh, yeah. I'm taking care of business here, people.
Starting point is 00:50:47 All right. I have a kind of a side clip here since we're talking about disease. Have you heard about this? Typhus in Los Angeles? You know, ever since your operation, you're really focusing in on death and disease on the show. I mean, I don't know if that's related. Yeah, well, you know, this is the new me. Well, it seems that in Los Angeles, we have all-time highs of flea-borne typhus, which is a disease. It's a bacterial infection. It can be treated with antibiotics, but it's pretty serious.
Starting point is 00:51:22 According to the L.A. County Department of Public Health, nine out of ten of the people who contract this have to be hospitalized, so this is not just a head cold. And this is carried by fleas on rats. Rats. And guess why we have the all-time high of flea-borne typhus in Los Angeles? County. Immigrants. Because it's a combination of things. It's the fact that they won't enforce an anti-camping ordinance and stop people from
Starting point is 00:51:48 living on the sidewalks. That's part of what's drawing rats. There also was a state ban on some of the poisons that people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion populations. So that's a factor also. Yeah, because the mountain lions need downtown L.A. Hold on, hold on. Wait, so don't use rat poison because it's hurting the mountain lions.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Yeah. that are roaming the streets of Los Angeles? LIA, the wolves. Oh, excellent. People were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion population, so that's a factor also. And then we have garbage. Garbage.
Starting point is 00:52:21 At unprecedented levels all over. Illegal dumping all over. And why is that? Because we have idiotic laws in California trying to reduce the amount of landfill. So they try to force the businesses to make do with smaller and smaller containers and fewer containers. And the result is illegal dumping. All of these things, it's just blithering idiotic policy. And now we have medieval diseases sweeping through Los Angeles County.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Yeah. Medieval disease. Have I told you about the term typhus in Dutch in the Netherlands? No. I have a feeling. Maybe I told this to someone recently. To this day, you know, the Netherlands, Holland, very old, very old country. Amsterdam itself is like 770 years old, I think.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Just that city. To this day, people, if they're mad at you, like, really mad. They'll say, Krecht the typhus. Or that can also just be, if you stub your toe, Krecht the typhus! But as when it said to someone else, it means
Starting point is 00:53:20 get typhus. Yeah. People say, the Dutch are so kind to each other. In the Middle Ages, if you had You get typhus. You get typhus. I guess that was a die, kind of like, why don't you die type thing?
Starting point is 00:53:36 But we don't have to die from typhus anymore, do we? I don't, well, it's not something you want to, you always get hospitalized apparently. No, no. It's not good. But at least we have mountain lions. That's a good idea. So you say, I'm focusing on gloom and doom.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Is that because I played the Kara Swisher thing? Is that the reason? No, on the last show, you had, the last two shows, it's been, here's a new flu, he's a new disease, we're going to die from this. I think I may have another new flu. You see? I'm telling you, you just, You just want death and destruction.
Starting point is 00:54:11 This is what you're all about. Yeah. Okay. What is it? You got a new flu? New flu? I thought I had a new flu thing on this thing. No, the Keroswisher doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Oh, I didn't know. No, no, no new flu. This is worse. What do you got? New bad opioid. Oh. Oh. Have I heard it?
Starting point is 00:54:33 I've tried it. A new danger on Bay Area streets tonight as health leaders discover the signs of a deadly new drug. San Francisco just had its first overdose death from a new kind of opioid. Good evening. I'm on a date. And I'm Dan Ashley. Thanks for joining us. The drug is stronger than fentanyl, believe it or not, and just started to circulate in the United States. This one is especially alarming to experts because the tool we have to handle fentanyl do not work very well against it. ABC 7 eyewitness news reporter Tara Campbell has covered the fentanyl crisis for years and she explains what makes this drug different. San Francisco public health officials are sounding the alarm.
Starting point is 00:55:09 on a new synthetic opioid. This is not fentanyl. We believe it is more potent than fentanyl. It was found, we believe, in someone using a counterfeit pill. It's called cyclophene. And for the first time, it's showing up in San Francisco, linked to an overdose death earlier this month. The first time DEA seen it was in 2024
Starting point is 00:55:32 at one of our labs down in Florida. It says cyclophene could show up in just about any other drug. It can be mixed into a pill. It can be sold as a powder. It can be mixed in with cocaine. It can be sold as cocaine. Again, and making the drug most concerning is it's difficult to test if it's been put in other drugs. And importantly, it's not detected on the available fentanyl test strips that are out there.
Starting point is 00:55:59 It's also believed to be resistant to Narcan, also known as naloxone, the nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose. Officials warning it could take multiple doses. for it to kick in. The public health department and the DEA both reiterating the importance of staying away from counterfeit pills, saying the drug supply is as unpredictable as ever. Tara Campbell, ABC 7, eyewitness news. Here's a thought, kids. Don't take any pills. How about that? Just think not. Don't take any pills, any pills at all. Okay. Those days are over. Well, from death and destruction. Very good. I've got a couple things about Iran. As the war, which doesn't seem to be a fighting war at the moment, continues.
Starting point is 00:56:44 We have posts and tweets and slashes on the exes and all kinds of stuff. And here's the latest. So President Trump issuing a new warning to Tehran overnight, as he reportedly tells AIDS to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran. Lucas Thomas in this live in Dubai with the latest. Hey, Lucas. Good morning, Brian. After the state dinner, where President Trump honored King Charles and Rory Macaroy, President taking a true social early this morning to send this warning to Iran about the war ending,
Starting point is 00:57:15 saying, quote, Iran can't get their act together. They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They better get smart soon, perhaps a reference to reopening the Strait of Form moves. Now, the Wall Street Journal reporting Trump tells A's to prepare for extended blockade of Iran. Quote, he assessed that as other options, resume bombing or walk away from the conflict, carried more risks than maintaining the blockade, officials said. Now, that blockade, Brian, has been an effect for. over two weeks in an attempt to open the Strait of Fremuz, which remains effectively closed. While the blockade aims to shut down the oil trade in Iran, its effects are also being felt at home
Starting point is 00:57:48 as the price of gasoline is now the highest since July 2022. Now, Payne also being felt inside Iran as the Iranian Rial has plummeted to a record low, trading at around 1.8 million reels to the dollar. You might need a wheelbarrel to go shopping. Oh, that's not good. So, of course, I'm in constant contact with the oil baron about all of this. He is, after all, an oil baron, and he follows everything, and he understands this, and he has a lot of knowledge, so I'm always trying to get information out of him. And then he just went off yesterday. Like, I can't believe this stupid president. He doesn't know anything. He's saying stupid things. Stupid. What an idiot. And this is what it was about. President Trump said on Sunday, well, the Iranians have only three days before their
Starting point is 00:58:35 pipelines explode because they've had to shut down production and the pipelines are under so much pressure because they're still full of oil. That doesn't just sound like a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. It's literally a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. Although a former US intelligence officer sold me. It's silly. Of course they know how to shut down production. They are not three days away from their pipelines exploding. Yes. I would say the oil baron agrees that the pipelines will not explode, but they will have to shut down production and it does take a bit to restart it. But we know how to do that. Everyone knows how to do that.
Starting point is 00:59:09 It happened during COVID. And they're offloading, you know, now they're the tanks. What happened during COVID? Well, there was less oil being used. So they, everyone slowed. Yeah, but they didn't shut down any refineries. No, no. This is just the wells.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Not talk about the refineries, the wells. The wells. The wells. The wells. The wells. The refineries are a pain in the ass to start. Yeah, yeah. No, but they're slowing it down.
Starting point is 00:59:30 They're flaring all the time. So, you know, but eventually they'll, you know, these rickety ships that they're loading the oil onto, you know, they will reach a capacity. And they're just not selling. So that's why the Rial is in the tank. And the results are predictable. Well, markets will be open today after an unsuccessful weekend for diplomacy in the Middle East. New uncertainties in the region weighing on the stock market and oil futures.
Starting point is 00:59:57 The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has sent global energy costs. skyrocketing, as you just heard in Bradley Blackburn's report, the impact on gas prices oil up roughly 40% since the conflict began. President Trump says the prices could remain high through November. The CBS News poll found most Americans think gas prices have been a financial hardship, as we also heard from that report from Bradley Blackburn. Democrats are blaming the administration. Yes, and so this is the part that the oil baron and I are reaching consensus on when the president says through November. Well, what's in November? November, we know, are the midterms. So he's pegging that. And the belief is that he will delight and surprise everybody by drastically lowering gas prices before that and then being able to spike the ball just before the midterms. So it's... How's you going to do that? Ah, with the big government short. The Outlook Report is based on a view that oil prices will fall. I mean, I suppose that links to what futures are suggesting.
Starting point is 01:01:00 as well, and that's been much remarked upon, that is there too much optimism then baked into futures expectations around oil prices? Future expectations around oil prices, do you think, Peter, because this is going to be something that lots of central banks pick up on, you know, rather than estimating oil prices themselves, they'll probably just go with the futures
Starting point is 01:01:15 curve, won't they? That's what they all do when they make their inflation forecast. They base it off the futures curve, which is, you know, which is in backwardation. I think the issue really here is, if we look at the oil futures curve, for example, December contracts, pre-war, there are levels of around $55 per barrel at the moment, they're what, 80, 85, right?
Starting point is 01:01:34 So we are pricing it off a much, much higher inflationary base. That's pretty clear. Is it fair to call oil a bit lower? I would say probably yes, but we're going to have high oil prices probably for the next three to four months. According to the oil baron, this is his theory, and I'm all in on, he says we've never had this wide of a divergence between spot and future prices, which the term is backwardation. and he believes that the government is going to short oil massively, and he's preparing for it with all kinds of hedges. And then we add this little ditty to the mix about the UAE.
Starting point is 01:02:10 UAE will leave OPEC after six decades as it plans a strategic realignment in the wake of the war. Bloomberg oil reporter Alaric Nightingale joins us on this really huge news, Alaric. And I wonder first what it says about the reliance. relationship between the GCC countries amidst this war and also, you know, what it means for production. Can the UAE put more oil barrels on the market without the constraints of OPEC? Well, in answer to the last question, that's really at the heart of the issue. The UAE has long kind of pressed to be able to produce more oil without any kind of constraints from OPEC or, you know, has been one of the countries that has been eager to add more barrels.
Starting point is 01:03:01 And by doing this, once the war is over, this gives it an opportunity to do so. In terms of the kind of unity of Gulf countries, I think that really, in a way, this is an opportunity for the UAE to do something when it's not going to cause a market stir. We know when the market kind of, or when the situation in the Middle East hopefully returns to normal, that the UAE is going, all of the countries are going to need to try and ramp up and get supply to the market. That's obvious. And right now they can't, there's a big shortfall that needs to be recovered. So they and others are going to be doing that. And in the early stages, you know, this gives them an opportunity to do that like everybody else.
Starting point is 01:03:47 You know, I've been watching UAE with a stable coin purchase from the Trump brothers, with the Muhammad dude going, yeah, you know, we're doing different things. And now they leave OPEC, which that'll blow up OPEC. These guys, they can do five million barrels a day. They have a pipeline into the Gulf of Oman. Is it Oman, off of Oman, I think. Saudi Arabia has a pipeline over to the Red Sea. So everyone's going to, it's every man for himself.
Starting point is 01:04:19 I think this is, this is the big news. to me is blowing up of OPEC. And UAE was just the first one to go, you know, in bed with the presidents, with the president's sons, at least. So everyone will start pumping. Well, they've got to get the straits open first. You don't need the straits.
Starting point is 01:04:39 They go outside the strait. They're the pipeline which goes around the straits. Well, the Saudi pipeline can only account for like a third of their production. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. But remember, we've got Venezuelan oil, got America. oil. I mean, it may not be as bad. I mean, why else is the market pricing this backwardation in at $55 in December? Optimus. I'm thinking calcium bets. Well, maybe it's possible. Well, the oil baron thinks he says the government is going to
Starting point is 01:05:15 short oil just before the midterms. So I'm going to take his word for it. I think that's a pretty good bet. I won't bet on it. It's not going to help the midterms at all. Oh, you want, it takes like a month before the prices stabilized at the pump. So he'll do it in October. It's November.
Starting point is 01:05:36 I think he's optimistic here. Who the oil baron? Yeah. He's in the business. Well, he's not going to be a you know, a negative Nelly. He's in the business where, you know, he's got to make his
Starting point is 01:05:52 He's a super negative Nelly. He's been negative this whole time about this. He's like, I hate the president. Republican presidents are the worst for my business. This is no good. And then he's like, hold on a second. Now, and by the way, that's not positive for him. This is today is positive for him. He's like, yeah, it's good. He doesn't want oil at 55. He's just calling it as he sees it. How can that be positive for him? I'm just saying. Okay. Okay, let's see what else we got. He's a very successful guy. Yeah, okay. Take your word for it. Yeah, no, take his word, not my word. Take his word for it. I don't know the guy.
Starting point is 01:06:35 You should meet the guy. Okay, I should. He's a good guy. Let's take a quick break and listen to dummies on the whatever podcast. Whatever podcast. What is the whatever podcast? You've seen it. It's the guy.
Starting point is 01:06:56 I don't think so. He sits around with a bunch of, with a bunch of only fans, girls and ask dumb questions. And they can't, they don't know any. They're so stupid. They're all, um, only fans, girls. Yeah, only fans. What did I say? It doesn't matter, but this is not a podcast.
Starting point is 01:07:15 This is a YouTube show. It's a YouTube show. Okay. And it goes on for decades. I mean, it's like every day and it's, it's not a three hour or four. It's five hours. It just goes on and on and on. And you love it.
Starting point is 01:07:29 And you love it. And you're watching everyone. No, I don't. I only watch the clips. I don't watch the whole thing. It's impossible. Okay. But here's the,
Starting point is 01:07:37 but the clips are good. Here's a classic, one of the classic girls on here, everybody's dream date. What is 34 plus 66? 34 plus 66. 99. 98.
Starting point is 01:07:51 What year was the U.S. founded? I know the answer to that. Okay. 1980. The United States was founded in 1982. Jimmy. Who did the U.S. gain its independence from?
Starting point is 01:08:02 France? We brought this up earlier. France. I think. How many letters in the alphabet? 24. What language do people in Idaho speak? French.
Starting point is 01:08:14 You may find this funny. I find it deeply, deeply sad and disturbing. Deeply, deeply sad and disturbing is what I find. Yeah, that's the difference between you and me. Yes. find it hilarious. Yes. You like the bird talking, bird hands girls on TikTok. This is, where's Chanel Ryan? She needs to have you on again. What happened to that show? What happened to her? Are you still on that show? She's no, she's back. She's back. She had a baby.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Oh, okay. She had a baby and you had a bypass. So it's, yeah, when my bypass is fully healed, I'll go back and do a show, maybe. It's baby in the bypass. It's like Sanford and son. It's a good, now that's a great YouTube show. It would do better on YouTube. The clips are on YouTube. Okay. By the way, when the shooting took place at the meetup, at the meetup, at the Trump meet up, yes. Wolf Blitzer, I guess, was right there because he went to the bathroom or something.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Oh, okay. Claims he was right next to the shooter. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The shooter didn't even make it in the ballroom. No, but I guess the bathroom, he had to. to go outside the ballroom to get to the bathroom. Oh, okay. He had the crap or something.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Who knows? But he has this story about it. And they play, he's on all these different shows talking about it because he's an eyewitness. But this is when they first caught him right afterwards, when he's shaken like a leaf and talking about how scared he is and the whole thing. I thought this is probably one of the best example of, of a journalist from CNN at work in the field shooting blitzer. I feel a fine. I'm just scared. It was scary. I was a few feet away from the gunman as he was
Starting point is 01:10:09 firing. It was loud. It was scary. The cops got on top of him, and then they got on top of me to protect me. And then they took me away into a secure room, the Ben's Room. It was just a frightening experience. How were you able to do live TV after all of that? How was that what? Live TV after all of that. A broadcast professional. And, you know, I just did it. I told the truth. What I saw, that was that.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Okay. I have to give it to it. That was dynamite. Broadcast professional. I was scared. Into a secure room. The men's room. That was good.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Oh, man. Poor wolf. You know, he, I empathize with him because like us, he has to do that job. You know, I'm sure he didn't save any money. You know, what kind of money to Wolf Blitzer say from his CNN paycheck? You know, so it's like us. We're stuck here. Stuck doing this show.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Yeah. Playing clips of only fans, girls. I mean, you know, I empathize with Wolf. All right. The 60 days are almost up. Somehow Congress believes that the War Powers Act is in play, even though the President never called for this. And the 60 days are up.
Starting point is 01:11:42 And I saw Pete Higg-Seth this morning saying, no, no, no. During the ceasefire, we stopped counting. So we really have another. Oh, I didn't hear this. this morning. I didn't have time to clip it, but it was hilarious. Then you have another 30 days, but I still think they filed this under UN Section 51, so I don't exactly know what Congress is doing. But here's an ABC Martha Radditz report about
Starting point is 01:12:10 the waste. Tonight with an eye-popping $25 billion for the Iran War. I never heard of say, with an eye-popping, 150 billion for Ukraine. Never heard her say that. The Strait of Hormuz blocked and no end in sight. Secretary Pete Hankseth not backing down on Capitol Hill, instead pointing the finger at Congress. The biggest challenge, the biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless, and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans. The secretary combative, defensive, and dismissive.
Starting point is 01:12:52 The president has got himself. in America stuck in a quagmire of another war in the Middle East. This is you, John. That's how you sound. That's your comment. Congressman, you should know better. Shame on you. Shame on you. Calling this a quagmire two months in. Claiming a tactical
Starting point is 01:13:07 victory. It's been an astounding military success. But are we winning the war? Absolutely. But pressed about the justification for war? Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated. Underground, they're buried and watching them 24-7. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:13:23 this war, you just said 60 days ago, because the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you're saying that it was completely obliterated? They had not given up their nuclear ambitions. The grilling on Capitol Hill comes tonight as gas prices hit a new high. With the straight of Hormuz closed, drivers now paying $4.26 per gallon, up a dollar and 32 cents since the war began. Do you know how much it will cost Americans in terms of, of their increased cost in gas and food over the next year because of the Iran war?
Starting point is 01:13:59 I would simply ask you what the cost is of an Iranian nuclear bomb. Overnight, President Trump posting Iran better get smart soon. Now they have to cry uncle. That's all they have to do, just say, we give up. Cry uncle. I think he's right. I think the time is on our side. It doesn't seem to be that much going on. And for him, nothing matters for the Congress, for the midterms. A lot of it matters. And then we have the Atlantic reporting interesting things. This morning, a new report in the Atlantic is raising questions about what the president is being told about the war in Iran by his closest advisors.
Starting point is 01:14:40 According to the magazine, Vice President Vance has repeatedly questioned the Defense Department's depiction of the war in Iran. And whether the Pentagon has understated what appears to be the drastic, depletion of U.S. missile stockpiles. The Pentagon has claimed U.S. weapon stockpiles are robust, but the report claims Vance has expressed concerns about the availability of certain missile systems. The White House has not publicly responded to the claims. Meanwhile, Iran has- Well, actually, the president did respond to those claims in his typical backwards fashion. So they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. Typically, that's pretty good. What do you think, Jared. I mean, it's going to be hard for them to make a naval comeback. Okay, now they have
Starting point is 01:15:22 an Air Force. Every one of the airplanes has been shut down or has been decimated. They have missiles, about 82% are gone, and they have drones, and most of them are gone. Most of the factories are mostly gone, and we have tremendous anti-dron equipment now between lasers and that new, very special machine gun. Oh, hold on a second. That knocks them out of the air like flies. And we use bullets instead of million dollar missiles. Oh, okay. So we don't need missiles. We have lasers and that very special machine gun. Have you seen this machine gun that the president references? No, have you? No, it's very special. I'm very excited to see it in action. Knock out a $30,000 drought. So I would say Jared would tell me that
Starting point is 01:16:14 Jared. With everything you just heard, typically we're in pretty good shape. And in addition, their economy is crashing. Okay. So that's the play. We don't need million dollar missiles. We shoot the drones with bullets and lasers
Starting point is 01:16:30 and our special machine gun. Okay. Huh? Yeah. Yeah, these drones are cheap. Yeah. Well, that's why we're not using missiles. But according to the Atlantic, Vice President Vance is very worried that we don't have any more missiles. So breaking news, nobody knows nothing.
Starting point is 01:16:50 But then we have the whole question of the nuclear war capability of Iran. And so there's two sides. There's the CIA side, which I don't hear the president talking about CIA ever. Do you ever hear him talking about CIA? He's done a deal with him. Well, what kind of deal? He's going to, they're not going to mess with him and he's going to stop bad-mouting him. Well, so the way I see it is the CIA is bad-mouting him.
Starting point is 01:17:24 They are messing with him, but they're doing it through CIA cutouts, mainly Kiriaku, your guy, Kriaku, and Tucker, who comes from a CIA family. So I don't know if you saw Kiriaku on Tucker and came out a couple days ago. It was one of the worst of the Kariaku. It certainly was, but I did pull two clips from it. Two or three weeks after this war began, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned in his resignation letter. He said, I believe, he didn't say this in his letter.
Starting point is 01:17:57 He said it in an interview with me shortly after the next day. He said, I believe the Butler assassination attempt, the other assassination attempt in Florida, a couple of breaches of Donald Trump's personal security security. service detail and Charlie Kirk's murder may all have played a role in convincing the president to go to war with Iran. What do you think that means? I would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't know. But I would not be surprised. I don't have any insides. I don't know nothing, but.
Starting point is 01:18:36 I would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't either. But I would not be surprised if a person or multiple people got into the president's ear and said, this isn't a coincidence that there were these three events. There were these three
Starting point is 01:18:56 events because the Iranians are behind it. They've got these cells. They're around the United States. We can't identify them. We can't catch them. But they're gunning for you. And Charlie Kirk was a practice hit. or Charlie Kirk was a message or whatever.
Starting point is 01:19:15 And I wouldn't be surprised if the president would believe something like that. If people he trusts are telling him there's a problem and the problem originates in Iran, whether it's true or not, that he would respond to that. A lot of people did tell him that. That's a fact. I can confirm if people told him Iran is out to kill you. How does he know any of this? A lot of people told him.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Who did he get this from? This is propaganda from these two Yahoo's. That's obvious. It's obvious. Well, Charlie Kirk was a warning from Iran. Really? Really? A lot of people have been telling him that.
Starting point is 01:19:52 It's a fact. And he's so stupid. He believed him. It's a fact. It originates in Iran, whether it's true or not, that he would respond to that. A lot of people did tell him that. That's a fact. I should confirm it.
Starting point is 01:20:03 I can confirm it. Iran is out to confirm it. I can confirm it. Who, Tucker? Kill you, the but. assassination attempt Iran was behind it. People were saying that. Fact.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Fact. Fact. Just using the word fact. I'm going to use that all the time. I'm going to say that to Tina. I did not break that cup. Fact. Fact. I took out the trash. Fact. This works really well in all relationships.
Starting point is 01:20:32 But really what they're getting at is the obvious. I fully understand how this was in Israel's interest in the Israelis have long wanted us to attack Iran and to overthrow the regime in Tehran. I get that. It's in their interests. But I've never believed, I don't think any CIA officer past or present, believes or has believed that the Iranians were anywhere near a nuclear weapon. They don't have a delivery system that could deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States. And, you know, when you've got two
Starting point is 01:21:08 national intelligence estimates. A national intelligence estimate is a sense of the entire intelligence community, all 18 organizations within the U.S. intelligence community. The same guys who brought you Russiagate. Unanimously concluding that there is
Starting point is 01:21:24 no Iranian nuclear weapons program twice as well as the late... There's no program. No program. No? No. Come on. Now, I'm not a big believer. I'm not a big believer. pretty lame. I'm not a big believer in this.
Starting point is 01:21:40 That's the worst interview I've ever seen him do. But these are two out of work CIA guys, yapping, just yapping. And CIA is connected at the hip with MI6. Who don't want anything to change in Iran? They love that. Keep it the way it is. Keep oil prices a little unstable. We love this.
Starting point is 01:22:03 This is the way it should be. We've got everything. We got the shipping. We got the insurance, all that. We don't want anyone to take out Iran or do anything. And if anything, this president listens to the military. Now, I'm not saying the military knows what they're doing, but I'll bet they have better intelligence than the CIA about what's happening in Iran.
Starting point is 01:22:25 I bet they've wargamed this whole thing out for decades, for decades. And of course, they say something completely different from the fact that Tucker and Kariaku have. Iran. And this is with their cheerleader, Lady G. Do you believe that 2013 is a year of reckoning when it comes to Iran? Senator, every year I seem to have a year of reckoning. So again, I'm paid to be a sentinel for this country. So I consider 2013 a year of reckoning. Okay, now when it comes to Iran, you said that the sanctions you believe were not working in their ultimate goal of deterring them from acquiring the new capability. Is that correct?
Starting point is 01:23:06 That's correct, sir. Their nuclear industry continues. Now, what is the likelihood that they would work in the future in your view? I believe this regime, knowing it can't win the affections of its own people, I think they are very concerned that the atomic sanctions could turn the people against them,
Starting point is 01:23:27 in which case I think they'd lost benefits. They could be willing to give up even the nuclear effort to stay in power. You think that's the most likely scenario if we continue sanctions? I think we have to continue sanctions but have other options ready. Do you believe that the Israelis would attack Iran if they believed they had reached a critical point in terms of nuclear capability? The Israelis have said so, Senator.
Starting point is 01:23:55 I take them at their word. If they did attack Iran, would they need our help militarily? They could conduct a strike without our help. So that was 2013, the Armed Services Committee from the Senate with Lady G. This is in 2021. Now this is General McKenzie. I'll start with what is my most challenging driver of instability, the actions of Iran. For more than 40 years, the Iranian regime has funded and aggressively supported terrorism and terrorist organizations and defied international norms by conducting malign activities, which destabilized not only the region, but global security and commerce as well. Iran is a major source of instability in Iraq and uses Iraq as a proxy battleground against the United States. Iran's actions also contribute to the instability seen in Syria and Yemen, two regional conflicts that have resulted in millions of refugees, famine, and outbreaks of diseases. So what are we doing to mitigate this instability?
Starting point is 01:24:55 I believe our presence in the region, mostly defensive in nature, has brought us to a period of contested deterrence with Iran. that presence sends a clear and unambiguous signal of our capabilities and will the capabilities and will to defend partners in U.S. national interests, a signal which has been clearly received by the Iranian regime. Yeah. So there's your two sides. Military industrial complex versus CIA. CIA connected to all the financial stuff with MI6, there's nothing. Keep it going. And military, we want to kill somebody.
Starting point is 01:25:29 and then apparently Trump in the middle like, oh, Iran is trying to attack you, Mr. President. This is a load of bull crap. Yeah, well, kind of overlook some of the elements of the cult-like behavior of the Iranian regime. I'll say, just a little bit. Which is kind of an Armageddon-oriented doomsday cult. Oh, yeah. The YouTube pastors are all over that. Well, there's a lot of evidence for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:05 And the idea is to develop a nuke, blow up Jerusalem until the 12th eMomp comes back. And he'll be on a white horse too. And he's like a thousand years old. He's a cool dude. And he's going to come back and save the day. Yeah. With Jesus by his side, by the way. That's right. I know. I know Jesus going to be right there.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Yeah. Yep, because as soon as the 12th, the imam. So these guys are nuts. Yes, yes. And so they really should probably better off just eliminating them. And I think that's happening. But we'll see. Well, they're trying.
Starting point is 01:26:44 I think they've run out of targets. Yeah. Well, we'll see. Right now, it seems like we have, what was this other clip that I had? Oh, yeah. This was from G.B. News. The war on Iran has not just brutally exposed Britain's military and, frankly, leadership weakness. Largely unreported is the war's exposure of London's financial system to meltdown, and with it our global influence.
Starting point is 01:27:09 Lloyd's of London was the centre of global maritime insurance until Trump began his strikes. Reliant on its access to world-class intelligence, the world's insurance markets moved in hock to Lloyd's. However, reports indicate the insurers were caught off guard by this war. They had no knowledge prior, and in response, policies for ships transporting oil and other goods in and out of the war, the Gulf were either cancelled or soared by up to £100,000. Global oil transport risk collapse, not because they were necessarily in danger, but because the insurance rates became prohibitively expensive. Donald Trump has stepped in, ordering the US Development Finance Corporation to cheaply insure
Starting point is 01:27:51 all maritime trade, cutting Lloyds out. This is the US's chance to kill London's insurance market, and with it a lot of the UK's international influence. Think of it. Lloyd's of London was so influential it had the ability to shut down the global transport of oil. That's an asset Britain wouldn't want to lose. But Trump's public fallout with Kirstama suggests he'll be unlikely to take pity on us once he has the world ensuring its ships cheaply by the US. Is this the final nail in the coffin for British global influence or will the US lose in Iran and Kirstama be proved right to have acted so cautiously.
Starting point is 01:28:33 Now, the DFC re- That's an excellent clip, by the way. Thank you. And I would put my money on Trump before I would on Kier-Starmer. Yes. And our gay general Patton, who set up the DFC Maritime Reinsurance
Starting point is 01:28:47 Program, Scott Besant, which is now up to $40 billion. I can't find any evidence anyone's using it yet. But they're open for business. So that would be phenomenal and that would be the win. That would be a big change in things. Meanwhile, everybody's blaming everything on Iran. You know what? Donations for the No Agenda Show are down. You know why?
Starting point is 01:29:13 Iran. Iran. All right. Hey, everyone. Thanks for joining today. We had a strong quarter for our community, our business, and our progress towards AI. More than 3.5 billion people use at least one of our apps every day. We saw a small decrease in total family dailies due to internet outages. Yeah, this is Zuckerberg on the earnings call. Yeah, listen. People use at least one of our apps every day. We saw a small decrease in total family dailies due to internet outages in Iran and blocks in Russia.
Starting point is 01:29:45 But otherwise, trends across our apps are strong. Daily and monthly actives on Instagram and Facebook continue to grow with video driving all-time high engagement across both apps. It's Iran, baby. Maybe. We're down just a little bit because of Iran. And then his CFO, Susan Lee, I've never even heard this woman, but I happen to be listening to the earnings call. I think she's a bot. I think she's actual AI. And that Zuckerberg has made an AI CFO. Listen to this woman speak. Thanks, Mark. And good afternoon, everyone. Wow. Right. Right away.
Starting point is 01:30:24 She's not real. This can't be true. Thanks, Mark. And good afternoon, everyone. Let's begin with our segment results. All comparisons are on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted. We estimate 3.56 billion people used at least one of our family of apps on a daily basis in March, which declined slightly from December due to internet disruptions in Iran and the restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia. Absent these impacts, growth in family daily active people would have been positive quarter over quarter. Is she AI or what? You muted yourself, so you've known. That was me. Yeah. I muted myself because the screen went dead, went black and I saw it and I clicked it to come back. Oh, I was like, mute, muted.
Starting point is 01:31:21 You mean a screensaver kicked in with your set screen at home? Or did pointcast kick in? Do you remember pointcast? Boy, I'm telling you, that's a callback. Nobody gets. Let me just tell everybody. Nobody gets that one. Let me see.
Starting point is 01:31:36 Hands up, troll room, if you remember, Pointcast. Pointcast was really the precursor to... Everything. Newsfeeds, to everything. Yeah. I see no one raising their hand. Okay. We will have to tell you.
Starting point is 01:31:51 So, when was this, John? This must have been 98, maybe. I think it was even before then. It came out real early. It was chewing up all the resources of machines. Well, let me tell people what it is. then you can talk about how horrible it was. You know, it was actually pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:32:06 No, it was fantastic. So Pointcast, this is in the days when we had monitors where you had to have a screensaver. Because otherwise, your, you're, how, Udora. Burn in. Your E! Dura email, I'm doing the callbacks now, baby. Your Eudora email. I'm doing it.
Starting point is 01:32:26 Would burn into your screen. So we had. famously we had flying toasters and we had fish as screensavers. Am I just on a roll here or what? Yeah, keep it up. And so these guys came out with this free screen saver called Pointcast. And you set up the screensaver. So you needed a screen saver.
Starting point is 01:32:52 Everybody had to have a screen saver. Otherwise, your monitor was ruined. You were a schmuck. You were a douche. And you could select categories of news. with little checkboxes. And so then when your screensaver kicked in, it was giving you headlines and stock prices.
Starting point is 01:33:09 And this is way before any like Yahoo Finance or any of this stuff. And people were mesmerized by it. Everyone was like, holy crap. The problem was our companies, at the time, we had in New York 110 people in the office on a T1 line. T1 is one megabit per second. Yeah, but it was solid.
Starting point is 01:33:32 It was a solid one megabit per second, but nothing compared to what, you mean, one megabit per second is a fraction of what your cable modem does at home currently. And the minute the screensavers kicked in, you couldn't get to any website. Email was failing because the pipe was completely filled with people's pointcast. So then we had to go around saying, please turn off your pointcast. turn back on the toasters. But man, that was resource hungry. Yeah, it was, I think it crunched your computer too.
Starting point is 01:34:09 But it was so cool. And that was the precursor to everything. I think it was the pre-cure. And then the joke of it was the guys who did it, I don't know, I could almost remember their names. They were offered, you know, in those days, it was big money. A couple hundred million dollars. for the product.
Starting point is 01:34:31 Really? Yeah, they were offered big dough for the product. Before all the scandals came out about it's being resource hungry and being a mess, they were saying, yeah, you will give you this. I forgot who it was that made the deal, but it was a huge offer and it was like, nah, we're going to sit down this case. We're going to hold out. We're going to hold out for the big bucks.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Hold on. Book of Knowledge. Who tried to buy Pointcast and for how much money? Let's see if the Book of Knowledge can tell us. It might be. It might have some information. That's old for the Book of Knowledge. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:35:05 All right. According to the Book of Knowledge, news corporation, led by Rupert Murdoch, attempted to purchase Pointcast for $450 million in January 1997. But the offer was withdrawn in March after Pointcast rejected it, seeking more money. Thus, it has been written.
Starting point is 01:35:27 Oh, wow. Imagine how sad those guys are now? Yeah, because it never did anything sense. That thing fell apart after that. Oh, man, that was dynamite. Classic. Yeah, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 01:35:40 I didn't know it's as recent as 97. I thought it was a little earlier, but okay. Well, kind of makes sense. Kind of makes sense. Well, let's stay on the... By the way, I think there was another product that we had... In fact, they know the guy pretty well who refused some offers. There was one of these early social network.
Starting point is 01:36:01 I wish I could remember which one it was. Since you're on early, you might remember it. It was during the live journal era. Somebody came up with something that was getting hot, really hot, and it was going to be, does the same kind of thing. You ready? You ready? Movable type. No.
Starting point is 01:36:21 Wasn't movable type? I'm sure movable type could have been in a similar story. No, it was something else. it was damn it I wish I could just recall I'm going to have to go through my own material and try to figure it out live journal I never really got into live journal I didn't like that nor movable type but they were all they were all basically blogs weren't they
Starting point is 01:36:41 movable type was a it was a foundation it wasn't really a blog hmm hmm Tesla coils is yes that's where my teenage emo diaries live Oh, yeah. I've been holding on to diaries.com, hoping those days return. Every once in a while I get an email.
Starting point is 01:37:06 Will you sell this? I say, yes, one Bitcoin, and you never hear from them again. That's too bad. What, you own Diaries.com? I do. I do. It's worth a million dollars. Well, go get a million dollars.
Starting point is 01:37:18 I'll give you $100,000. Boom. No, wait, I'll give it $200,000. Boom. 20% I could do. I'd do it. Yeah, well, go do it. All right, I'll agent it.
Starting point is 01:37:29 I can sell it. You cannot sell anything. I can sell it. Another classic no agenda exit strategy. Well, it's not much of an exit strategy. It's just a quick hit. I'll have 800,000. I'm exiting.
Starting point is 01:37:47 I'm out. I'm buying a Bitcoin and I'm out. I'm sorry. Mimi doesn't like it when I make these jokes. No, she doesn't. Should we get a little... I'm not a douche? It's not nice.
Starting point is 01:38:02 Always threatening to quit the show constantly. No. Yes, I am, actually. Yes. Well, why not? It's fun. It gets everybody on edge. A little Mandelson-Epstein update,
Starting point is 01:38:16 because that stuff continues. Good. Then while we're at it, we can play the Jeffrey Epstein Ranch Story. Well, why don't we start with that? Jeffrey Epstein Ranch Story. Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro ranch stretched for miles. Its centerpiece?
Starting point is 01:38:29 The enormous mansion he built with its pool and library stables nearby. None of it searched by federal investigators after Epstein's 2019 arrest to the shock of Hector Balderas at the time, New Mexico's Attorney General. Do you think the feds should have searched the ranch back in 19? Absolutely. By 2019, Balderas had opened a state investigation into the ranch, but says he was asked to stand down by the feds so they could build their case. We assumed, with their reputation for being aggressive, that they were going to be
Starting point is 01:38:59 aggressive and then share that evidence with us. It was a very simple one-to-punch. And that's happened before in other cases. Absolutely. But it didn't happen here. It didn't happen here. Now, New Mexico is trying to make up for lost time, opening a new state investigation. I think what bothers me the most, knowing the extent of what happened, why nothing was done. Okay. What is, what was the, what do they expect to find?
Starting point is 01:39:26 Or an unfinished ranch and the building in the middle of nowhere, New Mexico, Zoro Ranch, whatever was called? Well, the story is that, um, there were two teenage girls buried near the ranch. That's the story. And, I'll dig him up. I actually met the guy who bought the ranch. Oh, yeah? Yeah, he's, uh, I don't know, he was running for, uh, comptroller of Texas, Doug Effines, I think his name. is interesting guy one of those petite male kind of dudes uh very very successful uh see if
Starting point is 01:39:59 doug affines what is effines i think it's effines let me just see what his name is dog effines let me see no that's not the right name huffine maybe it's huffines dog huffines that's the book of knowledge yeah well if if i can't one for one if i can't Let's see. All right, Book of Knowledge. What's the name of the guy who was running for Texas Comptroller who bought Epstein's Zorro Ranch? Now, if the Book of Knowledge can do this, then I'm impressed. According to the Book of Knowledge, the Texas Comptroller candidate who bought Epstein's Zorro Ranch is Don Huffiness, a former Texas State Senator. His family purchased the New Mexico Ranch through a public auction in 2023, with proceeds reportedly aged.
Starting point is 01:40:54 Epstein's victims. There you go. It has been written. Yeah. So, and he's already said, oh, you can come, you want to do some research? Come on over here. Do whatever you want. He bought it for a song. I'm sure the guy's not dumb. But he said, yeah, anyone come in here and check it out, do whatever you want. And I don't know if anyone's even, if the DOJ is even interested. Apparently they're not part two of the cliff. New Mexico lawmakers this spring also established a bipartisan commission to investigate Zorro after the release of the Justice Department's Epstein files. At this point, we don't have the full story
Starting point is 01:41:30 and what we understand is that most that information was provided to the federal government and has not been provided back. The DOJ declined to comment on those specific materials but says they welcome New Mexico undertaking additional investigations of Zorro. And if those uncover potential
Starting point is 01:41:46 federal crimes, they stand ready to work closely together to prosecute. Outside the ranch now, a memorial with signs. pictures and crosses. This is the main driveway leading up to the ranch, but this is as far as we're able to go. You can see the no trespassing signs that have been put up around the property. The ranch was purchased in 2023 by a Texas real estate developer who wants to turn it into a Christian retreat, renaming the road here, San Rafael, after the patron saint of healing.
Starting point is 01:42:15 I don't think that you could turn this space around with the horror that has happened here. The family of Virginia Roberts Dufre, who died by suicide last year. She's one. of at least 10 girls or young women who say they were groomed or assaulted by Epstein at Zorro. Oh, there it is. There's Doug. It seems like a nice enough guy. Doesn't seem creepy. Petit, maybe, but not creepy.
Starting point is 01:42:39 Was it Tumblr you were thinking of? Tumblr, no. No. But I'm sure there's a story behind that, too. Well, yeah, Tumblr was bought for like a billion dollars and then resold for a couple million. There's the story on that. Yeah, that's just the opposite story. So let's get back into this because Keir Starmer,
Starting point is 01:43:04 the guy you would not bet on is not doing too well with this Mandelson kerfuffle, a Mandelson known as the Prince of Darkness in UK elite circles. Peter Mandelson was once entrusted to strengthen relations with the UK's most powerful ally. Now his links to another once powerful man, the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, ascending shockwaves through the British establishment. UK lawmakers want to know how much the man who appointed Mandelson as the UK ambassador to the US knew about his relationship with Geoffrey Epstein. Mandelson betrayed our country, our parliament and my party.
Starting point is 01:43:48 Mr Speaker, he lied repeatedly to my team when asked about his relationship with Epstein. before and during his tenure as ambassador. I regret appointing him. If I knew then, what I know now, he would never have been anywhere near government. The forceful condemnation, but critics say Stama was not blind to the risks. After being questioned repeatedly
Starting point is 01:44:13 by the leader of the opposition in Parliament, Kier Stama... Oops. Linux? That would see. Andelson's vetting process for the job of the ambassador to the US. He did know that Mandelson and Epstein had kept in touch even after Epstein's conviction,
Starting point is 01:44:32 and that, for many, raises serious questions about the UK Prime Minister's judgment. Mr Speaker, I asked the Prime Minister, under pressure from both the opposition and his own Labour MPs. Kier Stama has agreed to release documents detailing how Mandelson was vetted for the Washington job. But it has done little to quell the anger of some lawmakers who say Mandelson, who was twice fired from previous governments over unrelated scandals should never have been appointed to a top diplomatic role. He is now under criminal investigation
Starting point is 01:45:05 for allegedly passing market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a business secretary in the wake of the global financial crash. But a scrutiny of him intensifies, it is Kirstama and his decision-making that are firmly under spotlight. So this is being compared to the Profumo, scandal. Oh, please. Do you remember the profumo scandal?
Starting point is 01:45:29 Yeah, I do remember it. What is your recollection of the profumo scandal? It was a real classic sex scandal. Yeah. Yeah, and it was like, you know, real, you know, it wasn't, it didn't have anything to do with just some guy's association with a creep. Well, I would, I don't remember. I don't remember. Well, I mean, that's the book of knowledge for a briefing.
Starting point is 01:45:51 Okay. Book of Knowledge. Give me a briefing on the Profumo scandal. And then I have a clip about the Profumo scandal from the guys who apparently wrote the book about it. Okay, let's see. According to the Book of Knowledge, the Profumo affair was a 1963 British political scandal involving war secretary John Profumo's affair with 19-year-old model, Christine Keeler. The scandal's explosive nature stemmed from Keelah's simultaneous relationship. with Soviet naval attach Yevgeny Ivanov, raising national security fears.
Starting point is 01:46:28 Oh, I remember now. That happened at Clifden. Now I remember. Yeah. Yeah, well, she was like a Madahari spy. That's what was going on there. Yeah, she was a hardy, I think. Yeah, she was a hardy. In 1963, the publication which did more than any other to cover the perfumer affair was a young magazine called Private Eye. And the Eye has been following the Epstein case for many years as well, and its editor, Ian Hizlob, is with me now in the studio. Ian, great to have you here, and I've got a copy of your new private eye. We'll read some of the jokes out in a moment. But, first of all, some of the sense of history, do you think this really does, is at the same level as the Profumo scandal? Well, I think there are two things. One is, Profumo was a more junior minister
Starting point is 01:47:10 than Peter Manelson in the heart of New Labour. And if it was the end of that Tory establishment regime, this has got to be really embarrassing for the whole new Labour project. I mean, Manelson is going to be arrested, isn't he? It's fairly clear that the full criminal investigation is going to be very serious for him. Well, all we know, I suppose, this evening is that the police are carrying out an investigation. They've confirmed that. Yes. But it is jaw-dropping.
Starting point is 01:47:39 And I think because of this story, Profumo broke and exploded, this one's been going for a very long time. And everyone involved pretends they had absolutely no idea. dear, Kirstama, all his advisors, all these businessmen. Everyone's saying we had no idea that Epstein, it was in some way a paedophile. Whereas in fact, 2008 is the date of the case. And we ran a cover about this in 2011. I was going to ask you, when was the sort of cloud the size of a man's hand suddenly appearing? And you thought this Epstein guy is a big story.
Starting point is 01:48:12 It was over the then-Duchess of York now, not Duchess anymore. and Fergie. And it was a story that she'd accepted 15,000 pounds from Jeffrey Epstein. This. He was then convicted, paedophile, and financier, who everyone was pretending was absolutely fine. And we ran a cover with Sarah and her two daughters and a voice saying, you know, I'll give you 15,000 pounds. And she was saying, is that for Beatrice or both of them? Now, at the time, this was considered high. harsh and offensive. But it was trying to make the point that everyone was pretending they didn't know. Yeah, exactly. Just like everyone in America pretended they didn't know. Wasn't McCain's wife?
Starting point is 01:49:00 Who was it that said everyone knew about Epstein? Was that McCain's wife? No, whose wife was someone? That alludes me. I can't think of it. But some, yeah, a lot of people say stuff. Yeah, everyone knew this. You didn't?
Starting point is 01:49:17 What? What? You weren't in the know? I wonder who that was. Yeah, Sydney McCain. It was. It was Sydney McCain. Between a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, like she mentioned, but actively participating in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not far from here on trafficking charges.
Starting point is 01:49:45 Are these power plays? players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them? Or is this a pipe dream that we need to address in the future somehow? No, it's like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing. But we had no one that was no legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him. All of a sudden, someone said, BS, we're not afraid of you anymore on what doing. It's not only wrong, it's illegal, it's all those things.
Starting point is 01:50:21 It's like a house of cards now. It's going to start tumbling, believe me. And these guys, if they don't leave the country, number one, they're going to get caught. And not only will they get caught, but they're going to be made examples of. And that's exactly what we should be doing with these guys, especially.
Starting point is 01:50:40 In my opinion, if, you know, I know there's questions, but EPSY's a chicken shit for doing what he did. He should have faced the music, that one. He should have. Sorry. So everybody knew.
Starting point is 01:50:54 Everybody knew. Yeah. Everybody knew. Just like Jimmy Saville. They really buried that one, didn't they? That's the best. The Jimmy Saville stuff. Jim will fix you.
Starting point is 01:51:06 Yeah, that's the best. Saturday is a big election day in Texas. Sadly, I cannot stand for me. mayor because I don't live in Fredericksburg it turns out so I guess I shut down no agenda social for no reason remember that he he wants to protect this political career that's why he's shutting down no agenda social the worst uh a couple a couple side clips well I'm I was gonna say something here and you just like ramrod me. Yeah. Well,
Starting point is 01:51:50 wait for you. So I'm getting there. Election Day is Saturday and we have a baron running for mayor of Hayes County. Baron from no agenda? Yes, Baron Alex Savala, also known as the NICU Dad.
Starting point is 01:52:09 And he wrote a very nice note, which I won't read the whole thing, but it's in the show notes if you want to see it. And he says, I'm no agenda. I've been very vocal about keeping political parties out of non-partisans positions. I'm the only candidate who is not endorsed by a political party. The Dems have their candidate and the moms for liberty have theirs. I'm pretty sure I'm going to win, but let's go with God willing. I'm sure I'm not the first no agenda party candidate, but here we go. So if you're in Hayes County,
Starting point is 01:52:37 which is pretty big, vote for Baron Alex Savala. We need a guy like that in politics. Yeah, an honest man. Yes. Oh, he's a very honest man. And he's the NICU Dad from the NICU Dad's podcast. And he goes to No Agenda Meetups. And, you know, we can go to City Hall. And no, I don't. Yeah, that's a good idea, MVP.
Starting point is 01:53:00 I wish I lived in Hayes County because, yes, then I could be sheriff. That would be cool. You could appoint me sheriff, but no, no such luck. All right. Back to you, Bob. I got two screwball clips. Well, first of all, Netanyahu has prostate. cancer. I thought he was already healed.
Starting point is 01:53:16 My understanding, he still has it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today he has received treatment for prostate cancer and is now healthy. It's the first time he's publicly acknowledged the diagnosis. The 76-year-old says he had prostate surgery almost two years
Starting point is 01:53:31 ago and that a more recent tumor was successfully treated with radiation therapy. He asked that a public announcement be delayed due to the war with Iran. The war's got to do with it. Nothing. Nothing at all. All right. Okay, so I've got this screwballs. This is a very interesting.
Starting point is 01:53:49 You've got to give it to, you know, Massey, Thomas Massey, the renegade congressman. Yes. He's got the skiff story that I thought was fascinating. And I took one of my colleagues, Victoria Sparts, in a skiff. I said, there's a document nobody's looking at. We need to go read. And so we go in the skiff. It was a letter from Senator Ron White. and I don't know how he has, the senators, particularly those on the intelligence committee, they get access to things.
Starting point is 01:54:22 When a bill says that they have to notify Congress of something, what they really mean is they have to notify the Intelligence Committee. And then the Intelligence Committee just doesn't say anything or they don't even bother to look at it. And so Ron Wyden in the Senate, he's a Democrat, he's on the Intelligence Committee over there. he discovered an innovative loophole they're using to spy on Americans in a way I can't even tell you here because the FBI's interpretation of the law is top secret.
Starting point is 01:54:56 Literally, there's a red and white cover on top of Ron Wyden's ladder that says top secret. And Victoria Sparts and I went in there, and we read it very troubling. it's an interpretation, a secret interpretation of the FISA law, and it can't even tell you how they're interpreting. Now, when you have secret laws, that's when you know your country has gone too far. How do you know you're not breaking secret laws? How do you know what your government's doing? The nature of the two documents I saw were secret interpretations of the law. And you should be allowed to know how the executive branch is interpreting the law. Otherwise, how, how How could, for instance, the Supreme Court rule?
Starting point is 01:55:42 Or how could you vote for a representative that's going to vote for you if you don't know what they're voting on? And they don't know what they're voting on. So when do we find out what this is? I mean, this is all part of the ongoing Section 702 reinstatement that I think is still ongoing. Yeah, I think so. So I'd like to know what that is. Yeah, a secret law, secret interpretate. What is this?
Starting point is 01:56:07 Yeah, that's FISA. That's the whole thing. You've got the five. Nothing needs to be dumped. Yes. And that's why it's stuck in the house, I think. Is it in the house or in the Senate? It's probably the house.
Starting point is 01:56:19 Yeah. Sunsetting, it's going to be gone soon and not soon enough. Remember we had those clips like, oh, well, it's only a couple thousand now, but they just changed the way they were counting as really millions. Yeah. Right. And I think the way they do it is they just go to Google and, Amazon and maybe Apple and just say, give us some details.
Starting point is 01:56:48 And we seem to give our information up willingly. So just buy it on the open market. But I don't know what the law interpretation is. I'd like to know that. So Massey just says that and then nothing happens? No, that's what happens. He says that nothing happens, of course. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:57:06 Well, groovy. Well, that's just the way it is. You know, Republican, nothing gets done. Yeah. Okay. So I have this one last little clip here. I'll play. This is the, there's this woman named Sophie Lewis, who is a professor at one of the universities. And I just thought this was an interesting clip because it brings out the anti-family, anti-everything, you know, let the government raise your kids.
Starting point is 01:57:37 This whole undercurrent that's going on that is the Democrat part. communists. Yes. And I thought this was worthwhile to listen to. This is the abolished family clip. Did you know that all of the attacks on parental rights going on in the country today are directly related
Starting point is 01:57:57 to the far left's desire to abolish the nuclear family? I'm Carlin Beresenko. I'm an analyst and undercover journalist following the far left in America. And let me show you inside some secretly recorded presentations where they tell you what they really
Starting point is 01:58:13 think of parental rights. Yes, it's true. What the far right says, feminism wants to abolish the family. To hell with family values and all capitalist value for that matter. And fuck parents
Starting point is 01:58:29 rights. My hunch is that just beyond the horizon, beckoning to those of us who want to hear it, there is a world of relationship no longer strangled by scarcity, and no longer held hostage by economics.
Starting point is 01:58:47 Thank you. That was Abolished the Family Queer Communist, Sophie Lewis. Sophie has written two books on abolishing the nuclear family, lectures all over the country, works at the University of Pennsylvania, pushing these ideas through their gender center. We cover Sophie and her friends quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:59:09 Okay. I just thought I'd throw that in as an uplifting little clip. Yeah, I'm, I feel very uplifted. and positive now. And is she a Democrat or is she, what is it? What? Oh, she's a Republican. She's obviously a Democrat. No, I mean, she's not a politician. She just writes
Starting point is 01:59:29 crazy books. Yeah. Yeah, but she, the people love this stuff. There's this anti-capitalist vein in the current Democrat party. Current? It's really disgusting. Current. It's been that way forever. I'm not so sure it was that way in the, 50s. Okay. Well, in my forever.
Starting point is 01:59:51 Yeah. They used to be, you know, the pro-labor party, which I guess is somewhat socialist if you think about it, but union, good union jobs. All right. What's this fake Brando? I've been looking at that for the past two hours. Yeah, the fake brand. This is a piece of AI that showed up on the net. The problem is this was Brando supposedly being interviewed after the Godfather movies when he was older, but the Brando that's in this AI is a Brando from the 50s. And this whole thing is nonsense.
Starting point is 02:00:33 And it floated around. I thought it was a classic example of, you know, AI being used to try to just put that anti-Jewish message out there because Brando, when he didn't accept the Academy Award, I think it was 1973. Anti-Semite. Right away. It wasn't because anything he was about the Indians. That's why he had this woman. Oh, I remember he had that Indian woman come out.
Starting point is 02:00:55 Yeah, it was about a Native American complaint. It had nothing to do with the Jews in Hollywood. But somebody created this bullcraft and put it on Twitter and people were eating it up. Mr. Brando, why did you refuse the Academy Award last year? I refused it because of the increasing
Starting point is 02:01:13 control of Zionists in Hollywood. They own the studios, they shape the stories, they decide who gets heard and who doesn't. I saw it clearly, and I couldn't be part of that system anymore. Well, not that it's wrong. It's just not what he said. Well, it's true. Not that he's wrong. Not that he's wrong. Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man he put the C in the second word of pointcast.
Starting point is 02:01:39 Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John Cedar. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Cranem. I should be seeing you, New Orleans and the morning to the trolls. We're seeing the air, so our names nice out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me count you for a second. All right. 1537 on the troll count listening live to no agenda stream.com.
Starting point is 02:02:02 We appreciate everyone who is checking us out. Probably, hopefully, or you should be listening in a modern podcast app. Because now the podcast index is stopping slop and spam. We're stopping slop, John. What? We're stopping. Yeah, we're stopping the slop. We're stopping the slop.
Starting point is 02:02:20 Oh, the AI crap? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. How have you accomplished this? Ah, we're fighting AI with AI. Yeah, we are, um, yes. We have built our own weights in a model. Uh, because there's a lot of things that you don't want to, um, overfit.
Starting point is 02:02:39 Overfitting is the term. You want to overfit the model so it, uh, so it starts making wrong decisions. But the spam is pretty easy to detect because that's typically they just want to somehow get a website. Because if you get a free podcast account, you get a website that is highly ranked in Google and then they get SEO juice. But the AI slop is off the chart. I mean, people are just throwing out hundreds of podcasts a day. Of nonsense. A day?
Starting point is 02:03:13 Oh, yeah. From one outfit. A hundred to one podcast. Boom, 100 new podcasts. And they do it on one of these outfits that give you ads. So if you have a hundred new podcasts and each one has 10 episodes, so now we're at 1,000, that's a CPM. And you get two ads at the front and two ads at the back. You know, if you get a couple people listening, you're making pocket change.
Starting point is 02:03:40 You know, a CPM is probably remnant stuff, five bucks. So, you know, you could be making. 50, maybe $100 a day. That's not, you know, that's money. So now we're detecting this and we're chopping it out. We're like now. We're just done with it. It's ruining everything. So we're not going to let it ruin podcasting.
Starting point is 02:04:01 So get a modern podcast app. You know, because Apple can't fight this. They don't have our technology. They don't have the people. So I don't know how they're going to do it. Or Spotify, even worse, Spotify. They're actually providing these, the hosting for all these scam podcast.
Starting point is 02:04:18 No. Yes. Yeah, they bought what hosting company do they buy? They bought a hosting company and they bought megaphone which is the advertising company.
Starting point is 02:04:30 Yeah. They are the bad actor in the bunch. So, you know, they have competing, what was the name of that company they bought? Not ACAS. Anchor, thank you,
Starting point is 02:04:42 Mr. Benrose. Anchor. They bought Anchor. It's free. So everyone can create a free account. So you create a whole bunch of free accounts, and then you get your megaphone advertising.
Starting point is 02:04:51 And it's all slop. It's no good. It's even worse as people are, you know, Libravox. You familiar with Libravox? No, I'm not. Oh, so people do audio books of open source or public domain books.
Starting point is 02:05:07 Which is, you know, a lot of it's not great readers. So now the AI, Slop guys, they are doing AI-generated versions of the LibraVox books. So if you look and go to Spotify and look for the story of Frankenstein, you'll see, you know, 50 of them. And, you know, can you find a real one in the middle of that? It's not going to be easy. So anyway, you want one of those modern podcast apps at podcast apps.com.
Starting point is 02:05:38 And the groovy thing about it besides 27 new features that you won't get on the legacy apps is when we go live, we fire off the bad signal. you get an alert, you know that we're live, you get it right there in your podcast app. Or if you don't have time for that, you want to listen to it later. Within 90 seconds of us publishing the show, you'll know about it in the modern podcast. Podcasts.com. We are a Value for Value Podcasts. We talked about this at the top of the show. We don't have ads.
Starting point is 02:06:01 We are not slop, by definition. We are not slop. Maybe two old dues, but we're not slop. So we just say, he like value? You got value? Was this valuable? to you? Are you still listening at this point? Then you certainly must have gotten some value in the past two hours. All we ask is that you send it back to us in time, talent, or treasure. That could be
Starting point is 02:06:26 many different things, helping us out with clips, giving us story ideas. I didn't even remind me to do the SCOTUS decision of the Voting Rights Act. Because Rob Cardi, the constitutional lawyer, sent me a note about it and it is quite different from what you've heard from the M5. Let's do it now. Okay. Well, since you say, I'll do it right now. This is bonus, bonus content. So I'll just give you, let me give you the Nicole Wallace version of this Supreme Court decision. In a likely blow to Democrats' representation in Congress and in a complete and utter perversion of the original purpose of the Voting Rights Act, the nation's highest court told states that they can almost never consider race when drawing congressional
Starting point is 02:07:14 maps to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. And striking down Louisiana's congressional maps due to a majority black district. The decision was 6'3 along ideological lines with all three liberal justices dissenting. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, said this, quote, compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act could not justify the state's use of race-based redistricting here. The state's attempt to satisfy the district court's ruling, although understandable, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. While the court technically stopped short of overturning this key provision entirely in a scathing dissent,
Starting point is 02:07:54 Justice Elena Kagan called it demolished and said that today's majority opinion amounts to quote, the largest reduction to minority representation since the end of reconstruction. Oh, President Obama posting about it on X and oh, this is horrible. this is diminishing the black vote in America. But what was the case really about? I cite from the constitutional lawyer. After the 2020 census, Louisiana redrew some congressional districts. A coalition of black voters challenged the plan,
Starting point is 02:08:29 claiming that it diluted black voting power. A court agreed and invalidated the plan. So Louisiana wrote a new plan that specifically accounted for race and protected black voting power, just as the court, the lower court, required. Then a group of non-black voters challenged this new map saying, hey, this is racist. They took it to the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 02:08:51 And guess what? The Supreme Court said, yeah, you can't do that based on race, no matter what color they are. And that's what they struck down. But you will see it as Republicans hate black people. Well, the funny thing is, some years and years and years ago, there was a discussion.
Starting point is 02:09:10 probably have a clip about it, how there was a kind of a gentleman's agreement between certain black congressmen and certain white representatives that would allow these blacks to get a foothold. Please say these blacks a couple more times. These blacks. A foothold, a wink, wink, nudge, foothold. You guys can always have this district, but we always get to have this district. but we always get to have this district so we can always, you know,
Starting point is 02:09:42 it's just going to be this nice balance between the two of us. And it was a gentleman's agreement to have this sort of race-based distinction. And I guess somebody finally called, I always thought I was going to fall apart. It had to. It's completely ridiculous. Hmm. Okay. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 02:10:04 Bonus content right there for you, everybody. So that's one way that you can provide value back to the show by being a constitutional lawyer helping us out. You can also do things like create art, artwork for the show. It's not very hard to do anymore, but we have some, I think, some great end of show mixes. The music is getting much better and the concepts around our end of show mixes are getting better, such as the newsletter is now just a staple. We're just putting the newsletter into AI and turning it into a song, but the music is really good. And then one of our producers, I think was MVP,
Starting point is 02:10:38 did all the numbers pie, at least for as long as the song lasted, 3.14, etc. And that turned out to be kind of interesting. And then there's a donation song at the end. So this is a big number. It's a really big number. You don't say. It's a big number.
Starting point is 02:11:00 Okay. You can also create art and you can upload that at no agenda art generator.com. The art generator by itself is maintained by Sir Paul Couture. And I need to mention that the Red Knight Order of the Heart pins are in. I'm reliably informed from Jay. Have you seen them? And you'll get one shortly. I know. But have you seen them? Oh yeah.

Starting point is 02:11:30 fine. Just stick it in. So we want to thank... We want to thank Ryan M. Scott, the artist who gave us the artwork for episode 1863. We titled that one Nekidly. This was an interesting piece. I had some complaints about it because I thought Corrine de Vorac was too small. It was like a postcard, false flag postcard with our president saluting right in front of the American flag. But what was cool is that in each of the letters, there was a little scene from the White House correspondence dinner.
Starting point is 02:12:06 And I'm typically not a fan of small things in the artwork, but this was well done. And I guess it's AI. You would presume. It is. I think it's a combination. He had to do some. There's no way you could prompt this.
Starting point is 02:12:23 I don't know. I don't know what you can or can't prompt. I kind of liked his other false flag, which is the blue, red, and white. You didn't like that one. Now, we would have chosen. we would have chosen the SPLC artwork by Darren O'Neill, which it was a cool piece. It had a guy with a KKK hood on and an SPLC Southern Poverty Liars Club.
Starting point is 02:12:47 And it had this, you know, this KKKSPLC guy with his handout grabbing some dollars underneath and said funding hates to end hate. But Darren neglected to see that the hand was. backwards. It was the wrong hand. It's the wrong hand sticking out of the right hand on his left arm. So, Darren, if you had just reprompted it, man, you might have had a shot. So, sorry.
Starting point is 02:13:18 We have to draw the line. Wow, did you see this BB Netanyahu piece? What the one just came in? Yeah. This is great. It's BB Net and Yahoo lying on the beach in a speedo. and he has seashells like the Comey seashells except his say 6947

It's got everything going on. It's the Kirkland-2020-Blonque, Fand de Bordeaux, Appalachian Bordeaux, Contrale. It has a little moniker at the bottom. a little chateau name where it came from, which I'd have to look at the label to see.
