Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm sorry. I'm going to stop talking. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Act. It's Sunday, June 28, 2026. This is your award-winning Get By Nation Media Assassination Episode 1881. This is no agenda. Monitoring Mahjong Mania. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:24 And from northern Silicon Valley where the Democrat Socialists haven't taken over yet. I'm John C. DeVorek. It's crackpot and buzzkill. In the morning. That's amazing. The whole Sunday shows were filled with people talking about it. It is great. Yeah, it is great.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Before we do that, how was the meetup? The meetup was fair. Fair. It was about 20 people. It wasn't that many. But we had the, there was the regulars, and it was a good meetup. Well, I'll tell you that people should tag no agenda show on their Instagram pictures. This is what you do.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Oh, yeah. Well, I think that's good advice. This is what you do. Tina said, hey, John had a meetup. Look at that. Because she's on Instagram and it showed up for her. So your evil or Jay's evil plan is working. The Instagram, we're going viral with the Insta.
Starting point is 00:01:26 You know, I was thinking about these meetups. We've been doing Meadows for how many years now? It actually began with you and the Hot Pockets Tour. Right. Oh, wow. So that was 2009, I want to say. Yeah, 2000. And then it gravitated toward the trailer that you couldn't write off.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Well, I tried, and that didn't end well for me. But since then, you know, we had, we were using, we were using meetups.com even for a little while and people hated it. Yes, we were for a very short time. People hated it. And then Sir Daniel came in. And then they all of a sudden, they wanted us to pay. Oh, yeah. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Well, like, we're not going to pay for a scheduling website. And then Sir Daniel stepped up and said, hold my beer. And he made the no agenda meetups.com. That was thinking, because, you know, at first the meetups were you and I, attended and then people started doing meetups where we weren't there so they had our heads on sticks. I don't see as many heads on sticks anymore as we used to. No, I haven't seen a head on stick for a couple of years. Yeah. So that's over. That's over. The heads on sticks are over. And it's a global phenomenon. We had meetup in Ukraine. We just had one in Berlin. We have them in Japan. We have them
Starting point is 00:02:47 in Australia. We have them in Brazil. We have them in the Netherlands, the UK. Not many in France, actually. Well, the friend. There's the one with the Gardaire. Yes, Baroness Isabel. Yeah. You know, Pastor Brian had a message this morning about loneliness. At 57, despite our hyper-connected world,
Starting point is 00:03:10 57% of Americans are lonely. And it's a majority of men. Now, his obvious message is that, you know, with Jesus, you don't have to be lonely. But I was thinking, what an important the important thing these meetups are because I was just looking at the picture of you and your people there at the meetup and this is a very disparate group.
Starting point is 00:03:34 These are people probably don't visit the same bars normally or the same, you know, hangouts and some people may never get out of the house or just thinking, you know, or can't find people to hang out with. I think these meetups is that everybody knows that you can come to the meetup and you're going to have one thing in common. It doesn't matter what angle you approach it from or what you think about politics or the world or life. You have something in common.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It's like, oh, we all have our amygdala's in check and we just want to hang out and have a drink and chat. And I think we are actually combating loneliness in the world. So I want to up the ante on these things. All right, all right. Here we go. Guests. Bring a guest. I'm going to have Brunetti come to one of the meetups.
Starting point is 00:04:26 He's going to be the celebrity guests. Oh, celebrity guests. Oh, that's a good one. We've had a fair amount of celebrities throughout the years. Yeah, but they're not celebrity guests. But he's not really a celebrity guest because he listens to the show. He's a producer, although only an associate executive producer. No, he's been executive producer.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Don't get him mad. He won't do the gig. He won't do the gig. Does he have a rider? I'm not doing the gig if Adam keeps insulting me. Yeah, come to think of it, he hasn't called me in a while. I'm a little worried about that. Probably for good reason.
Starting point is 00:05:08 So, yes. So I think then, you know, you get the, I think the Mercy Me guys. I mean, we got Jackie Green up here in Sacramento. He should come down. I mean, there are people. that we have celebrities we can use as shills we have celebrities
Starting point is 00:05:25 we have celebrities we should be using people that come to the meetup we need an extra gimmick though what do you mean extra gimmick for the well some sort of thing like a certificate that you came to the meetup or you know just something
Starting point is 00:05:40 just something a little extra I don't know wait a minute wait a minute it's like the sticker guy who always comes to our to the Albany meetup and he's always dropping off stickers Hey, the No Agenda Shop, No Agenda Sticker Club, that's a good deal.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Well, they're making some terrific. Their stickers are out of this world. They're fabulous. And, of course, they're, you know, they're derived from No Agenda Art Generator. But the one I got, like the legal tender I got in the mail the other day and some other one. It's just, it's good. And they're the perfect size for sticking anywhere. You just stick them up on stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Stick them. Stick them everywhere. People like, oh, that's a pretty square. Near toll boots. That's my recommendation. As you're driving through with your easy pass, you can do it. Well, if you've got an easy pass, it's not going to do much good there. So what is the gimmick then when we have our celebrity appearances at the meetups?
Starting point is 00:06:35 What is the... I don't know. We have to start thinking about it. Okay. The most emailed response to this podcast, is it about Iran? Is it about the war? Is it about the economy? Is it about the midterms?
Starting point is 00:06:50 No. The most response I have received this week, I don't know about you, because it's hard to spell Dvorak, is Majong. Well, that's interesting. One of our dames, or dame in waiting, she's not quite yet. Who's at the meetup had from the 70s a mod, because I guess in the 70s, this was, Ma Zhong had a moment of popularity. and she had a Mahjong necklace that she had gotten in the 70s in New York. Wow.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Wow, that's great. What do you think this is? And she shows it. And I said, that's a mahjong tile. I know that much. Of all of them, got so many different emails. This is from Sarah and Brentwood, Tennessee. Now, ITM Adam and John,
Starting point is 00:07:38 Mahjong mania has indeed taken hold with the suburban ladies of America. My neighborhood friends in the 40 plus club paid to learn from a pro two years ago, and it's become our favorite girls' night in activity. It's not just a silly game for board women. It's a booming industry.
Starting point is 00:07:57 There are countless companies that sell designer tiles. Oh, here's, how about a no agenda, Mahjong set? I'm thinking of something here. Design, the average for these designer tiles, $500 a set. Whoa. Two of my good friends have 10 sets each. They are the most enthusiastic collectors of our group.
Starting point is 00:08:18 You can find tiles to match any aesthetic, any hobby or a session or podcast. I added that. One of our girls is a diehard Swifty. She hook her up with Darren. And she bought the tailor tiles. What? The tailor tiles for around $500. My friend who loves Jesus and America has a nativity set with baby Jesus as the
Starting point is 00:08:42 Jokers. That's blasphemous. She brought over her brand new $475 Patriot tiles yesterday to play at my house. Includes the picture of me winning on the New America tiles sporting my ACJCD swag. Maybe it's time for someone to design a no agenda mahjong set. Exit strategy. Where is this person from? At Brentwood, Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah. Again, this is one of the advantages of living in California. This is not out here. No, you guys are boring. We've got cool stuff. Oh, yeah. There's nothing more exciting than a night in Ma Jong. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I mean... Oh, yeah. Now you're right. I don't know. Don't knock it. I mean, hey. We still play Baccarat. Peanuckles was the thing, the one that got me last show.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Peanuckle. I still don't know. Is that a card game? I don't even know. I think it's potato chips. I'm not sure what you play with. It's a pinnuckle with a shuffle board on the wall. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Never understood it. Anyway, let's get back to the communism because that is fantastic. It's so funny. And the defense by some is just... Yeah, I have a thesis when we're done. I'd like to extrapolate. I know you have a couple of clips here. So let me kick it off.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Just a couple. This is Senator Tim Kane. This is from this morning on Spank the Nation. And he was just aghast about. how stupid Trump's comments were. Senator, I want to ask you a little bit about what's happening here at home. There were three far-left candidates handpicked by New York City Mayor Mamdani, who won last week over more centrist candidates.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Some are looking at that and saying the reach of the left wing of your party seems to be expanding. And here is what President Trump said. Take a listen. It's becoming a communist party. These are not social Democrats. These are hardcore godless communists. They're godless communists. All communists are godless. They don't believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence. What do you make of that attack here? And do you have concerns that the progressive platform of some members of the party will make it more difficult to win in other parts of the country?
Starting point is 00:11:12 headed into November. Margaret, what the president said is just goofy word salad. I'm not an expert on New York House races. I am an expert on Senate races, and we have got Senate candidates all over this country working to flip red seats blue by focusing on the president's mismanagement of the American economy. Families are suffering cost increases because of chaotic tariffs, illegal war, and focus on business. Goofy things like ballrooms, arches, and the reflecting pool.
Starting point is 00:11:46 He likes, I don't know if this is a new term they're trying to launch. Goofy. I mean, it used to be weird. That was a pretty good one. Even according to Scott Adams, rest in peace. Goofy may be a new term they're trying to launch. It's possible. I mean, the idea of calling what Trump said word salad to try to deflect from the usage for that phrase aimed at certain Democrats.
Starting point is 00:12:10 It is, I think, a very good character. characterization of communism. They are godless. Am I wrong? Well, Marxism technically rejects religion. Right. Yeah, because the state should be the religion.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah. Yeah. So it wasn't goofy. And it wasn't an attack. Well, I know what he's talking about. It wasn't an attack. But ABC, this week, they had the man himself on. They had mom Donny on and discussed this.
Starting point is 00:12:46 And this might flow nicely into your clips, I think. Because I think I know what you have. Because I actually was going to clip it, but I saw you come in with it. So I figured I wouldn't do it. Here he is the Muslim mayor of New York. And you're hearing some not just dismissive, though. There's resentment. And this is from fellow Democrats who think that this could jeopardize democratic chances in the fall.
Starting point is 00:13:08 I mean, you've got Josh Gottheimer, a Democratic member of Congress. Many of us believe, as do I. If you're a socialist, you are not a Democrat. And in fact, they put out a manifesto today. Have you seen this thing? Sounds pretty socialist to me. Hold on. Wow. There's an irony. Yes. Yeah, manifesto, which is always, you know, that's a communist idea. Either that or you're a mass murderer or you killed Charlie Kirk, one of the other. Yeah. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. It's a bad idea. Yeah. Manifesto. Usually not. seen as a good thing. Unabomber,
Starting point is 00:13:44 you know, all these kinds of men. Although the Unabomers manifesto was more like a guidebook for the future. And in fact, they put out a manifesto today. Have you seen this thing? Sounds pretty socialist to me. It's not a communist manifesto. It's a moderate manifesto. Moderate manifesto.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Oh, really? Saying, we are capitalist and not socialist. We believe in a growing, fair, and competitive economy, entrepreneurship, ownership. I mean, this is a direct response. They've made it clear to what you did here on Tuesday. That's great, but what's a party,
Starting point is 00:14:15 if not it's voters? And I'm proud to sit in front of you as the mayor of our city having received more than a million votes a little over, a little less than a year ago. And when we're talking about these incredible congressional candidates, they won their races and they won their races with the vision of what politics
Starting point is 00:14:31 should be and one that actually speaks to working people. And for a lot of people who ask themselves, what does democratic socialism mean? And you can tell them the answer at a theoretical level. It's the choice to extend democracy from the ballot box the rest of their lives. But in terms of what it means over these last seven months, we've seen a city with democratic socialist principles at the heart of it within our administration. And what we've delivered has been record low is when it
Starting point is 00:14:55 comes to murders and shootings. There's no one left. That's why it's record low. Everyone's leaving New York. And the rest, they're soy boys and girls. So is it pragmatic democratic socialist? I think democratic socialism at the heart is pragmatic. Because if we cannot deliver for working people, then what is this for? I'm not interested in writing a manifesto or, frankly, in reading one. I'm interested in delivering, and that's exactly what we've been showing. But they're saying that
Starting point is 00:15:21 if you're a socialist, you're not a Democrat. I mean, is there room in the party for both of these views? Yes, here I am. Here are so many more. And I think what makes our party a beautiful party is the fact that it's a big tent. That we have... But you've also
Starting point is 00:15:37 said it has to be a party with a spine, with a backbone. Yes. Even a ten has to stay up. Yes. So, you know, does it have to stay firmly for these ideas that you're talking about that others are calling dangers? I think it has to stand for working people. And I think it has to be willing to fight for
Starting point is 00:15:53 working people. And I think that there are... Fight. Fight of working people. These are liberal white women. Who are offended by the prospect of a party that knows who it fights for and goes every day
Starting point is 00:16:07 to work for that. Because what we've seen over many years is a willingness to not only explain away the status quo, but frankly even to look to benefit from the status quo. And that's not what working people are looking for from our party. It's so disappointing when I hear this interview with ABC, like not even getting to the core of the policy, who pays for what, how do you do this rent freeze, how does it work economically? It's just like, this is the word salad. So there was also a take, it's not just Democrats. You've probably heard what President Trump had to say about you and about the candidates.
Starting point is 00:16:41 supported and he warned that if socialists win and he calls you communists but you will start living squalor there'll be no food, no housing, no military no law and order there'll be nothing
Starting point is 00:16:55 and he had a few other choice words by the way he also said he still likes you but what do you make of what he I mean the Democrats are going to make you the poster child for the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last November, and over the course of these last six months, what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible. We've delivered free child care for two-year-olds for the first time in New York City history.
Starting point is 00:17:28 We've delivered tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We've delivered 165,000 potholes being paved. And we've done all of these things. while also delivering the lowest recorded crime in our city's history. That's what it looks like to have democratic socialism. And what you're seeing is that New Yorkers experienced this for six months and made the decision that they wanted to see more of it on the national stage as well.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I'm thinking if there's a Democratic socialist in San Francisco and they fix the potholes, you might convert. So they have this situation, which you run into a lot, which is crimes down. this reminds me of the D.C. situation where they just misreport. So you take your police department, you put them under someone's thumb, and you say, no, no, no, this is not a crime. You don't report this. You don't report that. You don't report that.
Starting point is 00:18:23 They do that in Fredericksburg, too, for the tourists. No, no, that's not a crime. No. So it's a common way of lowering crime statistics, which is the lie. Yeah. And it's been done in city after. City and these guys love to do that. So that's bull crap.
Starting point is 00:18:41 But the potholes, John. Yeah, the potholes, it was true. Yeah, is it true? Do you think it really close the potholes? Well, I'm sure. I like to know how you get 100, what did he said, 160,000? What was the number? I think it was 165,000? Hold on let me say. Potholes, that many potholes? Holy moly.
Starting point is 00:19:00 The first time in New York City. Who's doing the paving? Let me listen. We've delivered tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We've delivered 165,000 potholes being paved. 165,000 potholes being paved. They've delivered.
Starting point is 00:19:17 That's a lot. That's a lot. Being patched is probably the right term. Well, paved over. Patched. I think that's a plus. 165,000 pot holes. That's one of your core issues. It is. Well,
Starting point is 00:19:35 for good reason. You ever hit a pothole? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, Well, that old Lexus of yours doesn't do too well when it hits a pothole. No, it does fine. But it's not good. No. Did you want to play something here? Well, unless you have more.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I do. I have a couple more. I have, uh, yeah, play yours out and then we'll play the analysis. This is from David Sachs. But let's play yours first and then you do go move toward analysis. All right. We have Senator Chris Murphy.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Oh, God. On, uh, also on Spank the Press. Let's, uh, first off, start with your reaction to the latest primary results out of New York. You've heard President Trump say that these candidates aren't socialists. He's gone as far as to call them communists. As someone who identifies as a progressive, is this a moment of reckoning for establishment Democrats? I think you're going to have different candidates being nominated in New York City and suburban Connecticut.
Starting point is 00:20:30 This is a party that is also nominated and won with candidates like Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Sherrill. I want us to be a big tent party. I've been saying this for years. I think that it's actually a sign of a party that is alive and growing when there's a contest of ideas inside the party. So I'm not a Democratic socialist, but I do believe that the Democratic Party has been historically way too timid in taking on corporate power. I think our party should have bigger ideas. I put one on the table last week, a $25 minimum wage. And I think we do have to have answers for the way in which.
Starting point is 00:21:09 corporations and billionaires are taking over and corrupting our politics. So I do think that there is somewhat of a trend that candidates who are confronting concentrated corporate power in a meaningful way are winning. And I think that that is something that the Democratic Party should pay attention. This is not the right message. This is the wrong message. Israel is taking over our government. It's not the billionaires. Come on.
Starting point is 00:21:37 It's AIPAC. We all know it's AIPAC. But this kind of softening up these guys, like what you heard, which is kind of what the Democrat, socialist messages, corporations are bad. Yeah. And they should be nationalized. This would get, I don't have the clip, but Gavin Newsom, unless you have it. Oh, I do have it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Gavin Newsom basically came out. He didn't say it, but he's such a weenie that he saw what was going on. I said, this must be a trend because it's going in that direction. First you have Mondami, then he got these three guys. I'm jumping on board, and he gives a talk about how we should just a national billionaires tax. It's time for a national billionaires tax in a new social contract. I just got to pat ourselves on the back for that transition. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Oh, you know, you do that too often. It was so slick. It was so slick. And you spike the ball. I'm sorry. You constantly ruined these things. I know. I ruined it.
Starting point is 00:22:35 There's radio guys everywhere going, wow, that was awesome. I ruined it. You're right. It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract. Think about this. Just 10% of people, 10% of people in this country own two thirds of the wealth. A 30-year-old for the first time in American history is not doing better than his or her parents. That's a five-alarm fire. That's bullshit. Hold on. The first time in American history, you're telling me that during the Great Depression, that that situation didn't happen over and over? Why are you trying to get into history here? That makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Well, he said for the first time in history, he's the one to use the word. The 30-year-old, for the first time in American history is not doing better than his or her parents. That's a five-alarm fire. American wages have stood still, and the cost across the spectrum cost of living have skyrocketed. The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, the corporate tax code, and the heritage. tax code, it seemed to be written for a different set. Oh, that was my favorite. The inheritance tax code. You take it away. Your children get nothing. Americans, it's time for an economic reset, a true
Starting point is 00:23:49 minimum tax. Great reset. A true minimum tax on billionaires that, well, ensures the people at the very top pay, at least the tax rate, their own workers pay. We also should end this tax-free lifestyle loan. This is the gimmick that allows the ultra- Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can I get a tax-free lifestyle? Is there something, am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way to get a tax-free lifestyle? I guess so. If you don't have enough money. Oh, I don't have enough money if you have a tax-free lifestyle. So he's going on about as if as if these guys are paying no taxes and not contributing.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I mean... Well, this is the same lame argument that you should be paying the same tax rate as your secretary because they have capital gains or different tax structures, because they're not taking a salary. It's like, yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah, we'll use a free lifestyle loan.
Starting point is 00:24:46 This is the gimmick that allows the ultra-wealthy to buy. By the way, this very, it's the number of people that can pull that off is very low. The most billionaires are paying a lot of taxes, including Elon Musk. Yeah. Yeah, quite a bit of tax money. Borrow against their stock portfolios while reporting no taxable income. Well, yeah. Also, to rewrite those inheritance rules so that the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in human history estimated by, well, be $124 trillion that will be changing hands, doesn't lock in a permanent American aristocracy of inherited wealth.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Time as well to return to the pre-2000s. Hold on a second. Oh, yeah. Does this guy study history and realize that third generation of most of these super wealthy people break the bank? They lose all the money? Yeah, they lose on dumb stuff. on dumb stuff, is they get taken advantage of? Meanwhile, the third generation's with rare exceptions.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah. Unless there's trusts and all kinds of safety things that are built in by the original guy. Yeah, they blow it all. They blow it all. They blow it all. And, of course, this immediately affects farmers. You want to pass on your farm to your kid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Why would I do that? Right. You can't pass your farm off. My podcast. So it gets taken over by Cargill. I mean, is that's what he wants? Cargill to own everything? I can't pass off my podcast and my daughter.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I mean, this is horrible. You imagine? Christina and Jay. Yeah, I can. Christina and Jay doing the podcast. Hello. Hi. Hi.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I mean, I. I'm a lot. Time as well to return to the pre-2017 corporate tax rates and time to close those offshore loopholes once and for all. And as AI reshapes the country. Hold on a second again. You just move the company to Ireland is what it, what they do. They don't go offshore in a half-baked manner when you jack it up back to 35 or 40 percent tax rate. You just say, just move the company.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Take them right out of the USA. You get no taxes. Is that what you're looking for? Gavin Newsom is a handsome man. I'm going to vote for him. Pre-2017. He looks like Beavis. X rates.
Starting point is 00:27:02 And time to close those offshore loopholes once and for all. And as AI reshapes the country, every American should own a piece of the future. It builds through a national public equity fund. This is the Bernie thing. Trickle-down economics? Yeah, this is what's happening. Yeah. He's caving into the stupid ideas because he thinks this is his route to the presidency.
Starting point is 00:27:25 He may be the sucker when I do my analysis about what I think's going on. He may be the... Let's finish 38 seconds. I'm sorry. I'm going to stop talking. It builds to a national public. equity fund. Trickle-down economics, it's been a, well,
Starting point is 00:27:39 nearly 50-year experiment that has failed. Record corporate profits flowed into stock buybacks and executive compensation. It's time to stop pretending otherwise. We're nearing the 250th anniversary of this country's revolution. The system the American founders built
Starting point is 00:27:55 was designed to prevent the concentration of power in a few hands. What? Where in the Constitution was that put? what constitutional amendment or what bill of right where where is it that that we set it up to stop the concentration of wealth is that accurate if it's in the constitution which is a small document i never noticed it is it in the fine print Gavin but we've allowed that concentration to happen anyway slowly and in plain sight over the course of decades but we can reverse it we can reverse it together
Starting point is 00:28:33 It's time to democratize the American economy to our democracy. All right. So I might as well play the gaggle with the president just to kind of close this out. President Trump, great night for Democratic Socialist candidates last night. In the New York primaries, they swept and knocked out two incumbents. You're from New York. Why do you think it is that now the endorsement of Zoran Mondani means more than the endorsement of Hakeem Jeffries.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Well, they're going radical left. They're going, really, you know, you talk about the Democrat socialists. You took, really, it's really a communist. These people, I watched that woman last night. That's not a socialist. I know socialist. That woman is a communist.
Starting point is 00:29:22 And, you know, what they don't say is that I was 16 and 0 last night. But mine were a little more boring, a little more mainstream. They were Republican conservatives. But we were 16 and 0. And if you look over the last two and a half years, we're about 347 and just about 0. That's pretty good. But nobody writes that. But he picked three. They won. They beat a guy
Starting point is 00:29:47 named Dan Goldman. He was, you know, loser. He was one of my prosecutors, one of my many prosecutors that they used on me. Dan Goldman, not a good prosecutor, fortunately, but he's now looking for a job. I was very surprised to see, you know, because he's pretty liberal. guy. When they go more liberal than Dan Goldman, they're really at a never, never land. And then the final question. Does this tell you that the Democratic Party's 2028 nominee will likely be or could likely be a Democratic socialist? Well, it should make it easier for Republicans because most of the nation is composed of sane people. They don't want to, you know, if you look throughout history. Go back thousands
Starting point is 00:30:34 of years. You've always had socialism and communism by different names. It's never ever worked. It's not going to work this time. It's never ever. I don't think it actually has ever worked. It doesn't seem like that's ever paid out for it.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It works for a while. It works of course. A couple of years is great. People love it. Huh? Fantastic. So here's David Sacks. He's on your favorite podcast. I saw this. on the All In. Yeah, Sax was also the crypto czar and the AI czar.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah, it's very thoughtful. Yeah, it's a thought. And I thought this analysis was quite good. I mean, I think the choices of the future are going to be communism, or if you want to call it socialism in the Democrat Party, or nationalism in the Republican Party. I mean, that is where we're headed. Those are the two populist directions.
Starting point is 00:31:26 But let's look at what these DSA candidates stand for. So let's look at what their platform is. They actually say they want to abolish the Senate. They want to abolish the carceral state. That means basically police forces and prisons. They want to abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all. They do not support any deportations whatsoever. And I should say while he's doing this,
Starting point is 00:31:51 they have a picture of the manifesto on the screen where this is, he's reading it almost verbatim from their one page. manifesto. They want to replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary that is chosen by and subordinate to Congress, which basically now, I guess this means this House. And with respect to House elections, they want to abolish the Electoral College. They want to replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. And they want to expand the House representatives, implement proportionate representation, and rain choice voting in all elections. So this would be a total makeover of our constitutional system. They want to free Palestine. They want public ownership of
Starting point is 00:32:33 major corporations. They want to defund the Department of War. This is a very radical organization. And you would laugh at a lot of these types of proposals, but you can't really laugh at it anymore because these guys are taking over the Democratic Party. And you can see the Democratic establishment is in complete panic right now because they have lost control of the party to Zoram, mom Donnie and his his allies. That's the end of your clip. Yeah. Well, it goes on. I cut it there for time.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah, that's the outline of what they're up to. And here's kind of his analysis of where this is headed. Take this one race here. New York 13. You've got this ally of Hakeem Jeffries, longtime incumbent Congressman Espalad, I guess is his name. He is the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. and he was defeated by an unemployed 32-year-old PhD candidate.
Starting point is 00:33:31 She's never had a job. She's been in college for 10 years, I guess writing this PhD thesis. And I think even by DSA standards, she might be kind of a lunatic. So she has declared that she wants to end Western civilization. She wants to eradicate Western civilization. She actually said she used the American flag as a napkin to clean her hand. She attended a rally one day after October 7th celebrating the slaughter of Israeli civilians. I mean, she's very pro-Palestine, but even to the point of celebrating Israeli civilian deaths.
Starting point is 00:34:06 She calls white women ugly colonizers. She's called for the complete defunding the police and abolishing all prisons and borders, doesn't want a single deportation, hates the police, openly calls them pigs or has on social media before, calls U.S. service members war criminals, and says the U.S. disgrace of a country. She's written favorably about communism and seizing the means of production. This is basically the new Democratic Party. It's going to be, even if the Democrats do take the House in November and Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker, this is going to prove to be a huge headache for him managing all these new DSA members because they do not actually see the traditional establishment wing of the Democratic Party as an ally. They see it as an obstacle. This is the DSA co-chair Josh Block said, we're using the Democratic Party as a ballot access vehicle.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Oh, my God. Not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it's useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home. Didn't that already fail with the squad? Wasn't that exactly what the squad tried to do? Well, this is, that was that were justice Democrats, if you recall. Well, DSA, I mean, they became DSA, but they were originally Justice Democrats.
Starting point is 00:35:24 No, AOC was always DSA. She was recruited and trained by DSA. I thought she was a Justice Democrat at first. I'd have to look it up. I'm pretty sure. Well, this is to me as a CIA op. You know what? The thing is, this is not what is going to matter in elections.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Well, let me do my analysis. Do your analysis, please. Because the CIA op, and this was indicated because of that Stephanic, not Stefanic, but that's that woman that's in the CIA woman that's in Michigan. Do we have a clip? Do we have a clip? No, I don't have a clip of her. But she kind of sided with these guys.
Starting point is 00:36:11 They're kind of pushing this. This is a mirror image of what happened in the 72 election. Ah, here we go. History at work, ladies and. gentlemen. So during Nixon got into office. Wait, wait, stop, stop.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Where do you do this analysis, I just have to point out that there's a whole side Nixon thing going on right now with J.D. Vance. So that is interesting. Maybe it may be a signaling. Part of the signal or part of the signaling. signaling. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:44 And so, so we had the CIA got, let's say the CIA did what Ron Paul said, which is they took over the country. And so they were the ones that were responsible for Nixon getting in in 68 because Hubert Humphrey should have won. He's a good guy. Everyone hated Nixon, but somehow he gets in. So they help him get in. So he gets in 68 and he is running in 72.
Starting point is 00:37:10 He's not finishing the war like he's supposed to in the way he's supposed to. Something's up. And so they... He was a good guy. Wrong. And so an anti-war movement begins with Gene McCarthy, and he gets things started. He's going to be the candidate. I got to meet him.
Starting point is 00:37:30 He was at Cal Berkeley giving a speech, and I talked to him afterwards, and some radical is yelling at him. He was very calm and collected. He didn't have a bunch of secret service or anything. It was a really nice guy. And then he got pushed aside by Robert Kennedy, because they saw that he was making headway. and we don't want that because the guy was, you know, sincere and he wasn't connected and who knows what. So Kennedy gets in, but we don't want him either. We bump him off.
Starting point is 00:37:57 So they shoot him. And RFK Jr. still thinks it was a, you know, scam. Yeah. Who shot him? He's got his own theories. And okay, we'll go along with that. So he's out. And so they move in to Stoge George McGovern, who I also met. He gave a speech at Berkeley.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And I went and chatted with him for a while. and he was a really nice guy, and I voted for him. And George McGovern came in. Didn't they shoot McGovern too? No, they didn't shoot McGovern. And so McGovern came in, but he was the patsy. He was too left-leaning, and he was too, you know, he was anti-war, but not in a good way. But he was just, it was a setup.
Starting point is 00:38:41 And they put him in, and he got annihilated by Nixon in, in 72. was the biggest landslide in U.S. history to this date. And so that's kind of the setup they're doing this time. Now, what happened to Nixon was he, you know, he started being mean to the CIA, wouldn't play ball, wanted to break him up. And they had all, you know, they'd already set him up with this,
Starting point is 00:39:05 as we read in the book Family of Secrets by Russ Baker, who outlines very carefully what happened to Nixon when it came to Watergate. The whole thing was the CIA officer. operation. And it was sitting there waiting to be waiting. It was done. It was a done deal. And all they'd do is pull the trigger and then Nixon would be out because he wasn't playing ball. And he wasn't. Okay. So he wasn't playing ball. So they
Starting point is 00:39:31 pulled the trigger on him and get him out of there. And so so that was the whole thing. This could happen again. Which is, which is just as an aside, this is exactly what Vance is saying. Vance is saying the he says they, but we all know what he means. they got Nixon out and that's what they tried to do with Trump in the first term. This is the analogy he's making right now, which apparently just looking at the quad screen is starting to walk back a little bit, but he said it. Yeah, I think that's true.
Starting point is 00:40:03 But they didn't really do the same. The number they did on Nixon was flawless. It was fantastic. And so actually it worked with him. And he had the personality that he caved. Trump is his stronger personality. I think he got through it. And they also, there's some thought that Trump was given the 2016 election by the CIA to begin with.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And it was apparent that he wasn't going to play ball, so they make his life a little miserable. And then they roused him in 2020, because Biden did that ridiculous election. and to put the idiot in, and so that Trump got back. But this is a setup to make sure that these Democrats, socialists, are sidelined because we don't need the aggravation of these people being too high up in government. So they're going to put a stooge who's going to run against either Vance or Rubio, and they're going to get annihilated, not to the extreme that McGovern did, but maybe. and that the whole thing is set up for that.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And so this Democrat Socialist thing, which is bogus, that election in New York, there was only 10% turnout. It was all immigrants. It was pathetic. The whole thing is a setup to get some, to get these guys to follow the Bernie, this was in the newsletter too, by the way, people should have read that.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yes. To follow the Bernie Sanders idea that, well, it's just not left enough. So you got to go more left, go completely radical, nonsense and run some screwball and it may be Newsom trying to worm his way into this position to get killed. But whoever runs in 2028 against the Republicans is going to get wiped out. Now how about-
Starting point is 00:41:57 Okay. So everyone at this moment, all the analysis is only about the midterms. Right, but they're not looking ahead. No, no. The midterms are, there are a lost cause. The midterms are a lost. The midterms are a lost cause. The Republicans, there's no way they can hold the House. They maybe will hold the Senate because of the stupidity of that guy in Maine. He's going to lose the Susan Collins. Susan Collins has a machine or something up there.
Starting point is 00:42:26 She's just going to get in again. So the playbook, as I see it, for the midterms, is not a bunch of commies and socialists. The playbook is Muslim. That's what the Republicans are put. And they're pushing it hard. Because, you know, one of those DSA candidates is Muslim. Didn't the Jewish guy, like, start doing the Muslim prayer? The Jewish guy went to a Muslim meetup.
Starting point is 00:42:53 A Muslim meetup. And I think the fix is in on this. Producer sent me, you know, the Daily Wire, they have a podcast. It's the morning wire where you get your, your, your, your, you know, Yeah, I know. I've never heard it. Oh, it's a decent, you know, it's like 18 minutes, 19 minutes. It's just kind of an overview from their perspective. Of course, they're doing video, which they should never have done.
Starting point is 00:43:22 This is some nerd, like an overlit studio. You know, it's just, okay. Yeah, yeah. It annoys me. But at the very end, and this is the audio of it. And so you can imagine the pictures. It's like twin towers coming down, all kinds of horrific images. And I only heard the audio when I was like, wow, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:49 At the very end, it's like, you know, the Muslim takeover coming in 20, 20, 27, or is it already here? 27. Yeah. Do they know that anybody do statistical analysis? Listen to this. We'll be back this. And this is at the very end of the podcast, just for no reason, no tease or anything. anything, this just pops in. We'll be back this evening. The more news you need to know.
Starting point is 00:44:15 A terror warning in Northern Virginia. Radical Islam has designs openly on the West. The FBI awarded a terror plot on New Year's Eve. Violence attack over the Halloween weekend in Michigan. Protests on college campuses showing no signs of stopping. Dearborn. Chicago. People getting beheaded. Shot. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big caption. Muslim take. 2027 or is it already here? Is that what it says?
Starting point is 00:45:30 Yes. And this is the Shapiro outfit. So you know, you know that this is part of some Republican machine that is doing this. And that's going to be the play. It's like you don't want, you don't want these Muslims. They're going to kill you. And that's what, that's the play. That's what they're going to do.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Well, it's dumb. Yeah. But it's working. What is it? Yeah. I think so. If you want to get people to the polls. Well, wait, listen.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Well, hold on. Do you think it's working enough that the Republicans can hold the house? I really haven't run the numbers. And to be honest, I really don't. I can tell you, no way. I really don't care. No way. Well, I'll take that bet for a buck.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Two. Oh, you're going to double this bet. Trying to get your money back, huh? Yeah, yeah. I'm down $2. I'm going back. I'm going for it. Two bucks.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Everybody write it down. Okay. Bill Marr caught on to what I said and what you questions. I'm presuming you kind of... What did I question? The tourists loving America here for the World Cup. Oh, yeah. I still question it.
Starting point is 00:46:41 You said, well... I like it. I'm not saying it. And I decided I've tried to figure out what it is. I think it's a chamber of commerce. They're trying to get more European tourists. No, man. It's real.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Oh, boy. You know, everybody's talking. I got into a big argument at the dinner table with everybody over this because I was with Mimi on the phone. Yeah. And she's bought into it. J.C.'s bought into it. Although he backed off a little bit. He's got his own.
Starting point is 00:47:11 He listened to me, unlike the rest of them. And everyone else is all the hookline and sinkers. Like they've got a hook in their mouth and they're being dragged, dragged out of the water with a fishing pole. Really? this is what you think I've said my piece you're the man who actually believes these whatever girls are that stupid
Starting point is 00:47:32 I got a great whatever girls clip for today but you're telling me that this is not real you're telling me all these videos are not real no there's one or two there's a couple that are real they're all real it's so obvious from the man who posts Biden telling everyone to listen to the no agenda show
Starting point is 00:47:53 Come on. Yeah, that's my point. Here is Meyer with the setup. And finally, new rule, let's all give it up for soccer being the greatest sport. No. No, no. Not the game itself. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I mean, there's more scoring at a Star Trek convention. All right, there's your line. Good one. But I am loving that the World Cup has brought to our shores all these people who are doing Americans the service, the service of reminding us just when we needed it on our big 250 birthday, that actually this place is kind of awesome. And yes, I know, how dare I, how privileged, when there are so many problems and threats and people left behind.
Starting point is 00:48:50 All true, I could give you the statistics where we are not good enough and have done so many times. Infant mortality rate, 54th in the world, women in government, 85th, overdose deaths, lack of health insurance. Yes, many problems. But that's because the name of our country is America, not utopia. Okay, so good lead in, good lead in. And if anything, if this is any kind of op, it's a brilliant move by Trump.
Starting point is 00:49:19 It was like, this is going to be great. He saw it. He understands this is going to be great for America. And the result is not so much that tourists want to come to America. The result is that Americans feel good about their country for the first time in 20 years. Like, oh, you know, and hey, you're the, you're the Costco guy. You're the Europeans. Can you believe it?
Starting point is 00:49:45 We go to this place called Costco, the John C. DeVorek told me you get the best vine. Bordeaux for $2.99 you buy it in the case. It's fantastic. America is great. There actually are some good things about us. Even with all the ice nonsense, we have more immigrants than the next four countries combined. We have to fight for it, but still have freedom of speech and assembly and trial by jury. Even if you're found guilty, you can still ask a Kardashian to get you a pardon.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Other countries struggle just to have water here. We make it put on a show. In the desert, no less. We have drive-thrus for both church. and sex toys. That's right. You can buy a dildo, then ask the Lord to forgive you for it
Starting point is 00:50:47 without ever leaving your car. We have the strongest intellectual property, the most innovative R&D, the highest GDP, the most valuable companies, and the most trillionaire. Now look, maybe it's a coincidence, but I think it's something in the American
Starting point is 00:51:16 system and character that we have the highest number of Nobel Prize, winners and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the smartphone, the airplane, personal computers, and the party-sized bag of extra flaming hot cheetah. Plus, you can believe in whatever crazy religion
Starting point is 00:51:38 you want here, and 24 states have legal weed and our pop stars can juggle knives. Happy forth, everybody! And that's what I thought was interesting, is that he, you know, they call it the Great American Sleepover, where your cousins were told you to never go visit
Starting point is 00:51:54 your other cousins because the parents hate each other. But that's not really, that's one result, which may be good for the Commerce Department, but the real result is this. People, like Bill Maher, he's a negative guy on a lot of things in the country. No, he's a negative guy. Yeah. And so I think that that's a very positive thing. Yeah, anytime Marr goes off on one of these tangents, yeah, of course it is.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Yeah. So I think that's positive. Yeah, that's what you have to do. I like this. So let me just set the scene. So it's the dinner table. it's Jayce is his wife with him
Starting point is 00:52:28 Do y'all get together? Yeah. I forget her name. Jesse. Jesse. Jesse, I'm sorry. J.C. and Jesse. You've got Jay and Brandon.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Brennan. Sorry. Brennan. I'll get back to him. I'm sorry, Brennan. He says, yeah, it calls me a deadbeat. No, no, no. That's your word.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Don't you put that in my mouth? No, he knows better. Wait, he still doesn't have a job? What? Anyway, that's beyond the point, beside the point. And Mimi is on the- Beyond the point. Mimi is on the speakerphone?
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yeah. Now, is she eating dinner as well at the same time? No, she's just yacking about something. And it was like this came up at the conversation. Because somebody mentioned it. They said, oh, you know, what about these stupid videos? And I didn't say that. But they mentioned the videos and that just set me off.
Starting point is 00:53:28 I had a deal with Adam on this and he won't buy into it either. No, no. Because I know people in Europe. It's such a phony deal. You can just, it's like walking down Broadway. No, I just disagree. It's not, these videos are not phony deals. You know, you, when you get suckered, it's, so you're all in.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Why do you think I'm getting suckered? What evidence do you have for this? There's no evidence. It's your commentary. You're falsely claiming this without evidence. Yeah. Yeah. The evidence is apparent.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Now, we need evidence. Now, on the flip side of patriotism, the Freedom 250 mall is not such a success. That's not the message I'm getting. Really? Yeah, we got some people who wrote in, some boots on the ground. They didn't say it's a dog. Oh, it's not the crowd size for the president's speech.
Starting point is 00:54:34 That's the only thing. Yeah, that's what, well, that's different. Well, most people I know here are either going just before the fourth or they're actually going on the fifth or the sixth. But you want to go on the fourth for the fireworks. I think you would. I think you would. Yeah, 800,000 shells? bombs bursting in air.
Starting point is 00:54:52 This is a... No. Then on July 4th, we will have the greatest show of all on the National Mall. Your favorite president will be speaking. So please show up. Because if we have two empty seats, you know what's going to happen? The fake news is going to say he didn't fill out the arena. I mean, he doth protested so much.
Starting point is 00:55:16 He doth protested so much. He's not protesting. He's right. I was looking at today's headlines on the, you know, the phony bologna. You go to a web browser now you get all these headlines or whatever it was. Are you using Edge? I use Firefox. And so you go and they've done it now.
Starting point is 00:55:37 I mean, it's over. And so everyone is doing it. You're crazy not to. And so one of the headlines was Trump says nobody walked out in a speech, but two people were seen leaving. You fill out the arena. I mean, he doth protested so much. I think the idea that we're the problem. He seems to be the problem when it comes to empty seats,
Starting point is 00:55:59 clearly showing the vulnerability that this exposes, the lack of attendance, the lack of enthusiasm, and people walking out looking for non-political, I guess, most generous description. Did you even talk to them? Acts. Yeah, I think. Yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:56:17 They're mind reading again. They're good at it. That's what they do, man. Action acts. Yeah, I think this celebration would have been a lot better had Trump not made himself the center of it. But unfortunately with Donald Trump, he's incapable of doing that. I mean, he wants to be at the center of every bit of this America 250 celebration. And last night, I think you saw how the crowd feels about that.
Starting point is 00:56:43 As soon as he came on, the crowd started to thin out. And I think come the 4th of July, because the fireworks are at the end, you've, might not see that as much. But last night, there was nothing to look forward to after Trump. So they got their pictures and they head for the gates. So there's a change at Miz Now, Ms. Now. And I think we already called this. They are going to do podcasts on their channel. And they have a deal with crooked media. Yeah. You know, it was Pod Save America. And then the most interesting person from Nicole So they're literally going from the same dumb people, now the same dumb people with headphones and a microphone in their face.
Starting point is 00:57:25 And this is rampant. I see it on Bloomberg. I see it on BBC. I've seen it all over. And it's terrible. It's so fake. It's fake and terrible. Faking gay.
Starting point is 00:57:39 It is exactly what it is. I wasn't going to say it. Yeah. What is this? So if you say, it's cheap. So we just... What is it? Can you guys, do you guys get some of those Logitech cams?
Starting point is 00:57:53 I don't even, no, I think, you use your own mic. No, no. You got a mic? It's often, it's often like Bloomberg, they're still doing it in the same set. BBC is at night. It's the BBC nighttime set. They just do less camera switching and everyone's got cans on and a mic and they're talking. and they're talking down, not looking into the camera or, you know, at the other person, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:20 the kind of looking down at the mic. And I think that someone just said, hey, these podcasts, man, this is, the podcast is where it's at everybody. And a podcast, of course, it's video. Just look at Joe Rogan. Look, we need that. We need Joe Rogan type success. Um, let's bring the consultants in. Well, yes, we, as you can tell from our LinkedIn profile, we are podcast consultants. How many podcast consultants hit you up on LinkedIn? Lots. A lot of them. I get probably two or three a week.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah, I'm a pot. I can help you grow. There's either that or the SEO, but this is mostly podcast. Oh, you know, we do this. We can get your numbers up. I can help you grow your show. Yeah, they help you grow. Grow.
Starting point is 00:59:03 We got about a million listeners. You're going to do what? Grow your show. and they say, well, you know, you really got, it's really about the style because a podcast, it's really, it's this style of, of video. It's nothing to do with Arasas,
Starting point is 00:59:21 the style of video. I don't know where this voice comes from, but that's when I imagine these people sound like. So that's what they're doing. That voice is, that's not your best. No, no, I can do better. You can do better. I mean, you can be more accurate. There's not an, it's,
Starting point is 00:59:40 That's a funny voice, but it's not for these people, for the, for the consultant. I've never spoken to one. So I couldn't really know. I think you're, you've spoken to one, but you don't know it. No, I, I, my login for some reason on, on LinkedIn, it's like whenever, whenever I, so I, they want me to log in again. And I have my password and they say, well, we haven't seen you in a while. We don't recognize this device.
Starting point is 01:00:10 This is Omarchi Arch Linux. We need to confirm this with you. We're going to send you a code to Adamatcurry.com. And the code comes six hours later. And then I put the code in, this code has expired. Yeah, I love that. It's a loop that I can't seem to get out of.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I don't know why. It just comes away. You know on Instagram too. Instagram suddenly worked again. I mean, that's one of our producers listening, who fixed me. there. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, we need someone, some producer that works at X. Yeah, that would be nice. So we can get our, so we don't have a, we're not throttled.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Let's see, we have a couple different places we can, I'd say, first of all, we have a, we have our first, a conviction. It's not the most satisfying one, but listen, we have a conviction of mustache man. Breaking news. Breaking news. Security Advisor, John Bolton just pleaded guilty in his classified documents case. Bolton was indicted last year on 18 counts related to his handling of sensitive government information. Now, prosecutors said he shared it with two relatives for possible use in a book he was writing. As Mr. Bolton just admitted, he put our national security at grave risk in violation of the law. Our system of classified information is designed to protect sensitive
Starting point is 01:01:40 information that would jeopardize national security if mishandled. And the national defense information at issue in this case was classified at the highest classification. Classified. It's classified. The Hill had a little longer report, which gave us some more detail. Well, before you play it, I have the old Bolton. I'm glad you got that. Here it is. Wait, let me set it up. This was right after Trump got the Mara Lago raid. Yep. Bolton got on all the shows and this is what he said. Then he has committed very serious crimes. This is a devastating indictment.
Starting point is 01:02:21 I speak here as an alumnus of the Justice Department myself because not only is it powerful, it's very narrowly tailored. They didn't throw everything up against the wall to see what would stick. This really is a rifle shot and I think it should be the end of Donald Trump's political career. Ah, he who digs a pit for another will fall in it himself, they say. Breaking news from the federal courthouse in Maryland. Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton has just pleaded guilty to a singular count of unlawfully retaining national defense information.
Starting point is 01:02:58 The prominent Trump foe has now admitted that after he left the White House during President Trump's first term, that he unlawfully kept diary-like entries about his day-to-day work. Specifically, John Bolton is pleading guilty to one of the 18 counts that he was originally indicted on by a grand jury last fall. That indictment accused him of transmitting thousands of diary-like entries to two relatives in preparation for a potential book. But John Bolton now avoiding those 17 counts by agreeing to plead guilty to a singular felony charge of retaining national defense information. As part of this deal, he's agreed to pay a roughly $2 million fine. And now the question becomes, will he face prison time? This deal means that he could face up to five years in prison.
Starting point is 01:03:46 But that's going to be a question for U.S. District Judge Theodore Tron. He's the former, he's the appointee of former President Obama, who's assigned to oversee this case. And it is up to him to decide whether John Bolton will ever be behind bars. He already has set that sentencing date. we are expecting John Bolton to come back into court to learn his punishment later this year on October 28th. But already, this is a major shift for the prominent Trump foe and former National Security Advisor. When John Bolton was first charged, he had claimed that he was a vindictive prosecution victim, part of a retribution campaign by the Trump administration. But today, in a federal courtroom, John Bolton now admitting to one of these charges. And as he entered that guilty plea,
Starting point is 01:04:31 he told the judge, quote, when asked if he's guilty, I am your honor. I'm sorry for it. So this is a win. It's shallow. It doesn't feel like a win. Like, who cares? You know, Bolton is good for the knowledge of the people because we always thought it was a creep. Yeah, totally. I still think it was a part of that fart club in New York, although we can never seem to agree on that. The fart sniffing club, remember that? Yeah, some creation of yours. Must be. But then we have, and there's a couple of victims of the Epstein files.
Starting point is 01:05:06 We'll get his stormer in a moment. But Leon Black voluntarily came in to give his deposition. He has run Apollo Global Management. I think he's had some scandals or some stuff in the past, maybe unrelated. But this didn't go too well for Mr. Leon Black. Black testified before the House Oversight Committee today. Things broke down when Republicans and Democrats. Democrats demanded answers about non-disclosure agreements with women in Epstein's orbit,
Starting point is 01:05:37 some of whom now assert they were victims of Epstein's abuse. After Black ended the interview, the committee issued two subpoenas. I have just issued two subpoenas to Mr. Black, one for all the NDAs that he is party to, and second for a deposition on July 16th. So this is a result of refusing to answer specific questions about the NDAs and the terms. We believe that information is vital to our investigation. I will remind everyone that Mr. Black came in voluntarily, but they are refusing to disclose.
Starting point is 01:06:26 that. So I have issued the subpoena and we're handed it to him as we speak. And this cannot be coincidence after the first lady's sudden statement where she said, hey, let these victims testify before Congress. It can be in enclosed committee. It doesn't have to be public. They will not be violating their NDAs when Congress requests that you disclose that. So I feel it. I feel it. There's kind of no coincidence here about these NDAs because this is what it really boils down to. And it's not looking good for Black. Black's attorney spoke to reporters after he left Capitol Hill. Mr. Black came here voluntarily to assist the committee.
Starting point is 01:07:15 They made a premeditated political decision to serve him with subpoenas after less than an hour of questioning. And before they even asked a single question, about his legitimate payments to Epstein. I want to be clear, as Mr. Black said in his opening statement, he never abused a woman. He never was with an underage woman. He never engaged in sex trafficking. He never paid Epstein for access to women.
Starting point is 01:07:44 He was never black men by... Is this Trumpin Capote? Who is this? I don't even know if it's a man or a woman. Truman Capote. He never paid Epstein for access to women. I think it's a... dude. He was never blackmailed by Epstein. Black said he never knew anything. He never did anything wrong.
Starting point is 01:08:03 And he has no knowledge of any wrongdoing. He paid Epstein a lot of money. He paid a lot of money to others to conceal things and avoid further legal action. He never knew anything or did anything. Perhaps a subpoena and the threat of perjury before Congress will shed more light on all this. Yeah, maybe it will. And then we have another political victim of Fallout of the Epstein files. Unfortunately, it's not in America. But Keir Starrmer, we must remember that this all happened because of Mandelson. Mandelson was his guy.
Starting point is 01:08:40 What do you mean? Well, I think that report that came out about the 250,000 raped girls in England didn't help much. No. Although no one is talking about it, that's some sort of screwy cover up. Have you seen citizen vigilance? Oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Wow. If you know, people don't want to watch, you just watch the last 15 minutes. Well, I started watching it. I'm like, holy crap. Go watch the last 15 minutes. No, I'm going to watch the whole thing. I mean, I'm halfway through. I'm just saying the last 15 minutes summarizes it.
Starting point is 01:09:17 The way it's been marketed, and this just came out of nowhere, Elon Musk post the whole video on. Yeah, Elon Musk post the old video. He said no one, they, Germans ban the movie. Screw him. I'm going to post it on X. That's, he's got a, Elon's got a hard on for the EU because they keep trying to, to cut X out of the picture. Well, the marketing is phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:09:42 The marketing is they won't allow this to be seen, which there's no evidence of that. There's no evidence that it was forboughton anywhere. Well, we don't know. I mean, I'm not in Germany. It's something, maybe one of our German listeners can tell us. And it's not even set in Germany. No, it is, no, it said, well, where is it set? It seems, I'm not sure, I think Norway or Denmark.
Starting point is 01:10:05 It's hard to tell. It's a little hard to tell. Not you mentioned. It starts out since Europe. Yeah, Europe. Yeah, like that's the innocuous Europe. So yes. And by the, it does, it proves a couple of things.
Starting point is 01:10:20 It's a good idea for a story, but it also proves that Army Hammer. Yes. can't act well he probably he is terrible I wonder if you finance it with some of the Arm and Hammer inheritance I don't know
Starting point is 01:10:34 there's some there's one name that's attached to it I don't think it's him this way it's not a Dana Brunetti production but it's not it's bloody though it's bloody
Starting point is 01:10:43 the acting is not up to part but it's bloody it's extremely violent the violence is off the chain anyway here's here's Starmer, giving it up. This week marks 10 years since Britain voted
Starting point is 01:10:59 to leave the EU. It sounds like NPR is just so sad somehow. And in those 10 years, Britain has lived through six prime ministers gearing up now for number seven. I was trying to remember when you took over the London beat, Lauren, like what prime minister were we on?
Starting point is 01:11:17 We were on five, Rishi Sunak. He was new. And now, so I've seen the end of Rishi Sunak's term, all of Kier-Starmer's term. And you're telling me that these British tourists who are coming to the World Cup in America and see this nonsense going on in their own country. And they've been told that we have a horrible, horrible political system. It's no good.
Starting point is 01:11:40 They're going through their sixth prime minister now. They know what's up. And we're going on the seven. They know what's up before they came here. They're not. So that's insincere. That's why they say, hey, it's not that bad in America. We don't have rape gangs.
Starting point is 01:11:58 You know, in Florence. My nephew was robbed at the train station. By a bunch of immigrants. It's crazy. Prime Minister in 10 years, and that looks to be Andy Burnham. Who we're going to talk about in a second. But first, I want to take us all the way back. We've got to talk about this guy.
Starting point is 01:12:21 He's another stooge. He's great. Many news cycles ago all the way back to Monday. The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party
Starting point is 01:12:42 to that question. And I accept that answer with good grace. Grace. Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first. Yes. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labor Party. And here's President Trump. I don't know. I see that he was, I guess, the mayor of a town. I hear he was extremely liberal.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Extremely. So that means he probably won't open up the North Sea. You know, I gave I gave Kirstarmer some pretty good advice. I said, open up the North Sea. Go to Aberdeen, which was the hottest city and the whole. on the whole continent. It was the oil city. It was the oil of Europe. And they closed everything. It was terrible. I saw it before my eyes and I couldn't believe it. The North Sea is loaded. And here is the man himself. Molly, what happens next? What do we know about a timetable for when exactly he steps down? Right. So while this was not a total surprise, what labor leaders and what many people in the
Starting point is 01:13:49 country were waiting to hear is what would actually be the process. And he did lay that out in his speech. So we have a little bit of a timeline. Nominations for his replacement. So other labor leaders who could possibly take over, that will open up July 9th. Then there are two options based on the British political system. So if there is only one candidate, Savannah, it will be an orderly transition, what British journalists are calling kind of a coronation. It will pass from Kierstarmor to the next person. And I know we're going to get to him, but Andy Burnham is the runaway favorite. He is the former mayor of Manchester. He just won a parliament seat by a resounding, margin on Friday. I'm sorry. I thought I had a clip of him. Maybe it's this one.
Starting point is 01:14:27 UK Prime Minister Kier Starrmer has announced that he'll design just two years after winning a landslide election victory. He becomes the sixth British Prime Minister in a decade to quit, an extraordinary level of churn in a country long known for political stability. In an emotional statement here in Downing Street, Starrmer said he accepted that the Labor Party no longer thinks he's the right person to lead it. The party will now choose a new leader who will also become prime minister within weeks. nominations open on the 9th of July. They close a week later, and the new leader will be in office by September 1st. It could also happen a lot quicker than that. The leading contender to replace Starmor is the ex-Greater Manchester mayor, Andy Burnham,
Starting point is 01:15:08 who last week won a special election for a seat in Parliament. Where is he? The express purpose of coming to London to challenge Kier Starmor. There's enormous enthusiasm among labor lawmakers for Burnham because they are desperate for a charismatic leader who can reverse the party's failing fortunes. the chances of I'm sorry, I thought I had a recording of him. I don't have it for some reason. I should mention something one analyst did on one of these
Starting point is 01:15:34 foreign channels about, which mirrors my commentary about McGovern and the 70s and Nixon, which was that the British Parliament and the British prime ministerships had gone extremely left-wing. in the 70s, resulting, I think it was in 78 when Margaret Thatcher ended up, the Iron Lady took over
Starting point is 01:16:01 as a conservative, and they ran the government fairly for years after that. And this is supposed to be another iteration of that lefty, which is leftist, these guys. The Labor Party is, you know, they're against freedom of speech, they're for pro-immigration, open borders, all the same stuff that the DSA is doing. and they're getting trounce. And this is going to end up with some Thatcherite type character eventually. Civil war. Civil war. Civil war. Civil war.
Starting point is 01:16:35 We ever see these civil wars. Everyone talks about. Well, okay. When you get those guys from the north all mad, you know, they come down and they start marching the streets with their pitchforks and their shovels and their torches. Yeah. It's amazing how, you know, you hear Tommy Robinson. I hear people talking about Tommy Robinson. Tommy Robinson, I heard one of his recent little presentation.
Starting point is 01:17:04 He is quite good. Yeah, he is a criminal. He is a criminal, but he's really good. He's a hater. He's far right. He's a hater, but he's really good. He's very good at what he does. And he's been over here in Texas telling everybody the Muslims are going to kill us all.
Starting point is 01:17:23 No. Yes. Oh, yeah. Tommy Robinson was in Texas? Oh, yeah. When was this? I'd say maybe six weeks ago, two months ago. Oh, he was on- Really? Oh, he was on Laura. Come on here and hear about this. He was on Laura Logan show. He was here. I could have gone over and said hi. You should have gone over and said hi. They didn't tell me. I just saw it come through on my feet. Like, oh, Tommy was here. Okay. Yeah. He was going to churches everywhere, riling everybody up. Muslims are going to get you. You got maybe 18 months.
Starting point is 01:17:56 18 months, 18 months. 18 months. Look at us. 18 months. Okay. Let me write this down. Yeah, that's what I said. Yes. And yes, for those of you wondering, Cecile, the giraffe has been found.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Cecile, the giraffe is safe. We had a giraffe escape. But it wasn't really here. We have giraffes here in Fredericksburg, but that wasn't one of our giraffes. People think. No, it's just a local lady. right? People here. Hill Country. Oh, that must be where Adam is. Hill Country is pretty big.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Yuvaldi is Hill Country and that's a four and a half hour drive. So, no, was not here. But we do have giraffes. Ran Paul not letting up on Fauci. Good. We have two clear cut cases against him, lying to Congress, which is a felony, but also destroying public records. We now have emails that he distributed to Francis Collins and others saying, hey, read this and then destroy it. That is against the law. You're not allowed to do that in the executive branch. It's clear. You know, his only argument is, oh, it wasn't about government, and it clearly was, and I think a jury would decide. So I still would prosecute him. And I went digging for some. Yeah, good, by the way, since we've already determined that this whole COVID, because the MRNA and the stuff from Robert Malone,
Starting point is 01:19:18 and we played the clips and this is all a CIA deal. And the CIA, you know, came up with the MRNA and they started Modern, and we know that. It was done by the operation in Silicon Valley, one of the investment arms. And they can't admit they're wrong about it. They're behind the whole thing. They're behind the family. Fauci's never going to get prosecuted for anything because he was going along with it. And, you know, he played ball.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And Rand Paul's going to get himself beat up by another neighbor. if he keeps this up. Here is the analysis whether this is actually possible or not considering the pardon that he received from President Biden. Senator Paul was on our show last week and said Dr. Fauci's preemptive pardon from President Biden should be challenged in court. Take a listen to what he had to say. We've never had a pardon that's gone to court that was granted for an unspecified crime. So he's been pardoned for any crime he might have committed over a 10-year period. He's never been charged with a crime. So how do you pardon someone in advance of a charge and for any crime they might be charged with over a 10-year period?
Starting point is 01:20:26 So I think a court could look at this and say that's way too broad. If you didn't specifically pardon him for something, he's not pardoned. So I think it should be challenged in court and I think it's worthwhile. But he's guilty of several felonies. He's guilty of lying to Congress on gain of function. But he's also guilty of destroying records. That one's an open-shut case. So Jonathan, from a legal standpoint, Senator Paul, I mean, he has a bit of a point there.
Starting point is 01:20:50 There was no crime to be pardoned at the time. How strong is that argument that a pardon in this broad and unspecified could be challenged? Yeah, I think that he had a number of good points within there. Remember, you know, the pardon only applies to federal offenses, not state offenses. So if any state offenses apply, that wouldn't cover them. But I think the point is, is sort of this overly broad question. I pardon you. Typically, he's right. It doesn't have to be something that's been charged or convicted, but it usually has to be specified as I'm pardoning you for this crime or this course of action. So I think that's a problem. The secondary problem is there's the autopen issue that we all talked about. But it's okay if it's signed by an auto pen, but the question is, did President Biden knowingly and violently and intelligently sign off or delegate this pardon? So that's a secondary question as well. But this is, certainly a unique situation to have such a broad pardon. I think what ultimately helps
Starting point is 01:21:49 Fauci is the courts typically are going to give a lot of deference to the federal, to the executive branch on these types of things, particularly for pardons that are primarily, that they are an executive function. So even if the court doesn't believe that it's too broad and believes it maybe not knowingly and voluntarily made, they still may not want to weigh into it. But my, there are certainly legitimate questions blah blah blah blah blah can I here's a question for you
Starting point is 01:22:18 blah blah blah yeah yeah it's a question for you all right to keep bringing this up yeah he said the auto pan we don't know that Biden
Starting point is 01:22:28 he knew what he was doing but hey news flash Biden's still alive why doesn't somebody go over and ask him specifically hey you know about this part
Starting point is 01:22:41 did you know anything about it just show it to him and say, did you sign, what is this? You mean like from the news media or? I don't care. News media, Congress, one of Rand Paul's secretaries, anybody. They keep talking about, we don't know that Biden even knew he was signing a thing for Fauci. The guy is still alive. Go ask him. Well, it's not a bad idea. But that would kind of ruin the fun of doing a podcast.
Starting point is 01:23:15 Well, no, it's maybe with that one particular topic. Where you can speculate and... Yeah, speculate and shoot the shit. Blah, blah, blah. Get a close up with my cans on my head. Yeah, that's what you do. You need those cans on your head. So the UFO-UAP thing is falling apart.
Starting point is 01:23:36 That's just not going nowhere. Well, that's because of the movie. movie's over. The movie came out. It's a dud. Nobody likes it. It didn't happen. And now, this was NBC. So they, um, they caught up with the people who supposedly from the New York Times are responsible for the modern disclosure movement. What? Yeah, exactly. And here's an interview on NBC with him. This, this whole thing. And even when you hear them, you're like, what? These people started this? I can tell you, we do know exactly where this whole modern-day disclosure push started,
Starting point is 01:24:13 it traces back to a very specific New York Times story. You might have read it where a reporter met two national security and Pentagon insiders ready to blow the whistle on secret programs the government had on UFOs. And guess what? We caught up with the three of them today at Congress. And this Pandora's box that we now see, this UAP disclosure push, it all started with the three of you, right? I would say it started with the two of them and then they came to me
Starting point is 01:24:44 I would say it started with this guy I'm not I had nothing to do with it there's your answer was there like a secret bench or was there a handoff a hotel we met in a hotel lobby well it was it but they had a sort of large lobby area that you could go off and be private and it's almost like a little restaurant big space I remember I mean, am I allowed to say that you were, you were frightened because you were going out into the post for the first time?
Starting point is 01:25:12 That's putting it mildly. These people sound like morons. These are the people who started this? Are you serious? New York Times reporter found two of these people. Yep. And started shooting the crap with him and then ended up with the story that started the whole thing is what being told. And the whole thing was, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Yeah. The whole thing is, I don't know. Yeah, we were having a line. I said, I think we got some UFO docks somewhere. I don't know. Here's a couple more clips. Do you anticipate the release of some higher fidelity video that could completely put this issue to bet? So, first of all, it's not up to me, but I will tell you there are efforts behind the scenes to do exactly that.
Starting point is 01:26:00 That decision is not mine. But I think if you were to ask Chris or Leslie or myself, you know, you know, There are efforts underway right now to try and compel some of these organizations to strip the metadata of some of these videos and provide them to the American people. So the American people can see exactly what some of us have already been exposed to in the past. The more sophisticated or the more compelling from our terms the video is the harder it is to get it declassified. I'm not sure what the strip the metadata has to do with it. It's very odd. This is another thing that came up.
Starting point is 01:26:37 with the Nancy Guthrie bull crap where these guys are trying to extract a Bitcoin. They said, well, TMZ says to the guy, well, send us at least some pictures or something. And the guy says, no, because the metadata will make it so I'm identifiable. Well, the metadata is on there already if they're going to give away this phone that was buried somewhere. Yeah, metadata, you can get rid of metadata. Almost any photo editor will take the metadata out. Right, but why does NASA or the Pentagon have to take away the metadata? I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Yeah, well, that's the other thing. What difference does it make? And here's the last one. It's usually just telling you what camera it was. Well, speaking of photos. A month ago during the second tranche release, there were multiple files and videos released by NASA itself, where they have pictures taken from the surface of the moon during the Apollo mission,
Starting point is 01:27:32 where they have taken pictures, photographs of some sort of anomalous activity above the surface of the moon. Now, what did NASA say following that release? They said it is quite possible that what we are seeing here are actual things. These are not lens flare or anything like that. And keep in mind, if you look at that contextually to what we had orbiting the moon out that time, we had one thing only, and that was a lunar orbiter, waiting to rendezvous with the lunar lander. There were no satellites orbiting the moon. moon back then. So if we now have photographs, we now have audio tapes of astronauts having
Starting point is 01:28:08 conversations about something. The real question is, what else do we have? Nothing. There's nothing. It was never anything. It's nothing. And everyone's disappointed. No one more disappointed than Sean Ryan. What do you think of Sean Ryan? I'm not quite sure what I think of this guy. I'm not even sure who he is. Do I know Sean Ryan. Your name rings a bell. He a podcaster? Yes, he's a podcaster.
Starting point is 01:28:40 Does he wear cants? No, interestingly, they don't. No, he has like a lounge, like a man cave and there's two big leather seats and he's bald. And he's supposedly CIA consultant, you know, military, one of these guys. and so he's and sometimes it's like six hour podcast which is too long
Starting point is 01:29:04 oh god yes yeah so he has physicist Brian Keating on and Sean Ryan has had it with this he's had it he can't but this is nothing this is all bull crap what do you think about all this alien stuff
Starting point is 01:29:15 you know it's it's either the most exciting time to be alive or it's going to be the most depressing time to be alive you know it's like imagine you keep asking a girl out she's yeah soon soon I'll I'll disclose my intentions to you.
Starting point is 01:29:30 And he's just kind of waiting in the wings. And you keep hearing things are going to happen. It's going to come out. Finally, we're going to know the truth. And the whole community is thinking about things and is excited about things. And then I'm sorry to say, I'm just been completely underwhelmed. This last release by President Trump and Department of War, Pete Higsoe. I tore through that like a kid on Christmas morning or as soon as it came out.
Starting point is 01:29:55 What did you find? I found, you know, Really, it's a nice round number. I found like zero. I found zero that really interested me. And worse than that, I found things that were, you know, your background, you're used to dealing with kind of like sci ops and a good friend, my friend, my friend, Chad Hosh. He was, everybody is into sci ops, by the. So many people on podcasts.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Now, yes, I taught everyone how to do sci ops. This is my job in the Army. I did the CIA. I taught sciops, and I'm here on your podcast. In the siops. He was in U.S. Army, served in Iraq. You know, they have exposure to things, right? They're going to prime me for certain things.
Starting point is 01:30:35 I call these sciops, S-C-I-Ops. Because it sounds like outrageous. It titillates the mind, especially if you're a nerd like me. I want to know about extradimensional beings. I want to know about non-humanoid biologics. And all I get to hear from people I respect, some people I've talked to, you know, I like to say, I've got the square root of your podcast, but I talk to a lot of the same people you've had the opportunity and honor to talk to. And it's always, you know, comes down.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Because he's on a podcast. He's a physicist. Like, trust me, bro, or I heard or somebody said this and I can't say that. And in the military, I completely understand it. I understand. You've seen things. You've done things. You're not going to be able to talk about things.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Oh, yeah. You're a scientist and you go on a show like my friend, you know, Stephen Bartlett's show. And you get 10 million views and one night you say, well, I heard from somebody who heard from somebody and you're a physicist, like the people that have come on recently on his show. It frustrates me. This is exactly what's going on the way science. This is exactly what's going on the podcast. Everyone, oh, I'm a physicist, but I'm on a big podcast. Oh, I got it.
Starting point is 01:31:46 Go on Joe Rogan talk about UFOs. And finally, finally, Sean Ryan is figuring out that this is bull crap, but he has the wrong angle. I used to think there was something to this alien shit. I really did. Now I don't. You know, people... I just don't. You know, I've interviewed so many people about this.
Starting point is 01:32:09 And I'm not talking about Avi Lope. But, you know, the thing is, is one thing that, one red flag to me, is you got all these people out there that are screaming disclosure, we want disclosure. They're demanding it. But none of them are really working together. That's right. You know, and so, you know, behind closed doors off camera,
Starting point is 01:32:36 they're all talking shit about each other. Exactly. It's like, oh, you want disclosure, but only if you're the fucking one to disclose it, right? You don't want to work with anybody else all the time. Say what? You just swear constantly? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Well, that's another, but you got to do that on your podcast. Otherwise, you know, because if you don't have cans, you might as well be swearing. You know, figure this out. You just, you want to be the... Makes him real. The guy. That's what it is.
Starting point is 01:33:02 And, yeah, it's... So that's like one thing. Another thing is, I find the timing very odd of the release of all this shit. I mean... Now, we know why the timing of this was, right? Yeah, the Spielberg movie. Promote the movie. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:33:21 We've been talking about this for... We've been doing the show almost 19 years. We've been talking about this for 19 years. We've seen it over and over and over. It's always in conjunction with a movie. There's always a Hollywood entertainment product that comes with these stories. But that's not the Sean Ryan conclusion. The latest batch of the alien conspiracy thing is, you know,
Starting point is 01:33:44 it's stopped right at the height of the Epstein stuff in the Iran war, whether you're warred against it or whatever. It's very unpopular. You know what I mean? And so it's like, give them aliens. You know what I mean? That's how I think about it now. I'm just like, this fucking bullshit.
Starting point is 01:34:02 Of course you drop it right now. Exactly. And so it's, I think the timing alone is discrediting. Yeah. Because it's about a movie, Sean. It's not about, oh, oh, Epstein Files, give him aliens. Okay. That's, I mean, that's what CIA has developed in our country.
Starting point is 01:34:23 these are the people who, who did COVID? Yeah, well, it's hard to think. Like I said, they don't ever admit they're wrong. Let's talk about Ebola, get these clips out of the way. Ebola is still going on. They haven't done anything about it. Well, why? And they finally found out why.
Starting point is 01:34:41 Today I'm joined by NPR Global Health. Wait, you're going to have to. Okay, the problem I have, I have two problems here. One, it says NPR one and there's just NPR. Yeah. Which one you're going to play? The one that just says NPR. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:54 How long have we been working together, Bo? I just was fearful. And today I'm joined by NPR Global Health. And by the way, Ebola spelled E dollar sign BOLA. For what reason I don't know. Today I'm joined by NPR Global Health Reporter Jonathan Lambert. Hey John. Hey, John.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Hey, Gina. So you're here today to talk about the ongoing Ebola outbreak. Yeah, it's been just about the only thing I've covered over the past month and a half or so. The outbreak has gotten really big. really fast. It's already the third largest Ebola outbreak on record. That's terrible. So we're... The sincerity. Stop depressed. The sincerity is great. This is, besides sounding so scripted and corny, this is their science podcast, the NPRs.
Starting point is 01:35:42 Oh. This is their science. This is a high-end science podcast. That's terrible. Besides it being like really terrible and stuff. It's terrible. It's really terrible. Third largest Ebola outbreak on record. That's terrible. So. That's terrible.
Starting point is 01:36:04 Oh, this is fantastic. This is, you know what? Right off the bat, I think you actually, I think you actually deserve a borderline for this. It's just so good. Even though you doctored it with some editing. You doctored it, but still, it's worth it. I didn't take anything away from it. No, you didn't take anything away.
Starting point is 01:36:21 That's terrible. where did the number stand right now? As of now, there are over a thousand confirmed cases and over 250 confirmed deaths, but the toll is likely much higher. Why is that? Well, many people are
Starting point is 01:36:35 that? What? Ebola kills people? Why is that? Higher. Why is that? Well, many cases and deaths are probably going uncounted. The outbreak
Starting point is 01:36:48 is centered in a region of the Democratic Republic of Congo that's really remote. and battered by a lot of ongoing conflict. I see how that could make responding to the outbreak. Is this an AI podcast? This sounds like one of those notebook L.M things. That's terrible. I mean, it might as well be.
Starting point is 01:37:07 I know it's terrible. I'm not going to argue the point. A lot of ongoing conflict. I see how that could make responding to the outbreak a lot harder. No, what has happened here? I think something else is going on that we have stumbled on to. these people are talking to their chat bot all day long. They're starting to talk like the chat bot.
Starting point is 01:37:28 Mm, that's terrible. I can see where that would be really bad. You might be right. There's something going on here. Of ongoing conflict. I see how that could make responding to the outbreak a lot harder. Yeah. And the virus got a head start.
Starting point is 01:37:40 It was likely circulating for months before officials realized that it was. That's made it harder to rain. Come on. Come on. This is like I am going to make an Ebola podcast. podcast with AI, and the female voice will literally do that. Ooh, yeah, um, yeah. I'll see what you mean.
Starting point is 01:38:00 Ah, yeah. Officials realized that it was. That's made it harder to rein in, which is really worrisome for a disease that, on average, kills about half the people it infects. So do scientists have a sense of how bad it could get? Well, the CDC projects that in the absence of robust control measures, as many as 20,000 people could be sick by August. If it continues at that pace, it could rival the 2014-216 Ebola outbreak in West Africa,
Starting point is 01:38:27 which killed over 11,000 people. And there are concerns that it could spread more widely in the region. So today on the show, how this became one of the largest Ebola outbreaks in history. And what has to happen to treat patients and get it under control? Wow. Ebola! We'll spruce it up a little bit with some of our own bits here. Okay, so they get back and they get into the groove here.
Starting point is 01:38:51 Of course, you can guess who they blame. Trump. For the whole thing. Trump, World Health Organization, we pulled out of the world. Trump, no, Trump, you got it right the first time. Don't have to go any further. But let's go with the NPR One clip. Although something I said, what was?
Starting point is 01:39:11 I was telling Tina last night in bed, I was saying, you know, a friend of mine, he went to have his heart checked out. And he asked him kind of on the, you know, like, hey, have you seen more people with heart issues ever since COVID and the vaccine? And the cardiologist goes, oh, yeah, absolutely. It's a lot more. And he said, is that because of this? But it's not because of the vaccine.
Starting point is 01:39:36 It's not because of the vaccine. And Tina says, what was it? Climate change? I mean, my wife is good. She could do this podcast. she could inherit it with our daughters. Yeah. And today I'm joined by NPR Global Health Reporter Jonathan Lambert.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Hey, John. Hey, John. Hey, Gina. Hey, John. Hey, Gina. So you're here today to talk about the ongoing Ebola outbreak. Wait, is this a different one? Yeah. Sounds exactly the same. This is the exact same clip, John. Oh, is it okay. Oh, brother. Sorry, okay, go to clip three. Well, what is number two? the number two is gone we're going to number three because this is where they start to
Starting point is 01:40:21 they attribute blame they attribute blame and it's going to go right to where everyone thinks this is so much propaganda is sickening but you need to say SOT 3 SOT 3 What? That's what Megan Kelly are It's sound on tape SOT SOT 3 you have to cue me
Starting point is 01:40:39 SOT 3 Countries like DRC that experience a lot of Ebola outbreaks have really beefed up their surveillance systems. For instance, they've built up lab infrastructure so they can test samples that might be from Ebola patients. U.S. foreign aid really helped build up those systems. And in recent years, it's helped outbreaks get declared relatively early on. Okay. So usually they're caught pretty early, but you're saying that didn't happen for this current situation? No. So when the outbreak was declared on May 15th, that initial death toll had already. reached 65. I track outbreaks like these pretty closely. And when I saw that announcement,
Starting point is 01:41:16 I had this like moment of panic that I'd somehow missed earlier reports because the numbers just seemed too big for a new outbreak. Oh wow. Oh wow. Now health officials suspect the outbreak wasn't new then and it likely started months ago, perhaps as early as February. So why was there a delay in declaring it? A few reasons. Like I said, it's a tough region to work in because it's remote and there's conflict. And the species of a bull of its spreading is a rarer one. It's called Boondabujo, and there have been only two other outbreaks of it in 2007 and 2012. Genetically, it's like 30% different than the more common species. Unfortunately, that means that the tests that DRC typically uses can't detect it. So cases that
Starting point is 01:41:59 seemed like Ebola kept turning up negative. Oh, so how did they eventually tell it was Ebola? Health officials shipped samples to a bigger lab in Kinshasa, DRC's capital, where they did more sophisticated tests. But even that process was delayed. Early samples weren't shipped properly, and there were delays in those shipments. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:18 And these outbreak surveillance activities are the kind of thing that used to be heavily supported by U.S. foreign aid, including by USAID. Orange! There it is. Very good. And there's more? But wait, there's more?
Starting point is 01:42:35 Well, no, well, they have to spike the ball. It's not just you. If we're going to talk about USAID, let's make sure we focus a little bit more. And after the Trump administration's massive eight cuts last year, I'm sure it was affected. Yeah, a lot of it is gone. The State Department has said that it's false to claim that those cuts impacted the Ebola response, but I've spoken with a lot of global health experts who think it contributed. Yep.
Starting point is 01:43:05 Oh, man. It's our fault. That's right. It's your fault. It's Trump's fault. that the Ebola thing broke out. That's right. It's so obvious.
Starting point is 01:43:14 Let's boil it down. It's Musk's fault. He needs to be taxed. Take away half his company. Yes. Well, I might as well do my data center to desktop segment here. As the AI trade continues to look more and more like it's just not going to be quite as valuable as everybody thought it was. we go to
Starting point is 01:43:39 this is well this is actually what's his face from the all in pod but either way I profoundly believe the future is composable models and you're going to
Starting point is 01:43:49 every enterprise you're going to have what Andre Carpathi called the council of LELands you're going to have you're going to have GROC you're going to have Anthropic
Starting point is 01:43:58 you're going to have open AI Google you're going to have at least two of those I would argue GROC should always be one of the two because of its dedication to the truth
Starting point is 01:44:04 and it will tell you as a business owner or a politically inconvenient truth that you need to know for your data. But you're also going to have your own open weights model that you are old on your data, and you're going to put those two together, the frontier models and your own model, and you are going to get real Pareto-dominant outcomes. And, you know, half the queries are going to be go to the open source model, maybe 85%. And only the hardest ones are then, maybe they all go to open source first,
Starting point is 01:44:34 and only the hardest ones are then checked by the frontier models. And this, by the way, is Gavin Baker, I think, was a early investor in SpaceX and all the AI stuff. This is the future. It's coming. And a misconception that a lot of people have is that open source models are, you know, somehow bad for AI. They're awesome for the AI infrastructure providers. They just shift economic value from the margins of the frontier labs to the, the infrastructure. And that's not bad for AI. That's great for them. It's great for them. But I do think there's still a role for these frontier models. And it may be true. To date, frontier tokens are captured 90% of the economic value. And open source tokens are probably 80% plus of tokens processed. And those ratios may be here to stay, but I just think composable
Starting point is 01:45:27 models are the future. There you go. Frontier tokens versus composable models. We have more buzzwords. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I've been burning a lot of frontier tokens lately. Heavy now? The frontier token is just as crazy. And then CNBC identifies the, let's see, didn't we have a, yes, the token maximization burn is a problem. Welcome back. Open AI and Anthropic have commanded premium AI pricing. Premium AI. Is that advantage fading ahead of their public debuts? Our Kate Rooney has that story. Hey, Kate. Hi, Leslie. So Open Eye and Anthropic have seen this eye-popping revenue growth during what has been just a spend at all-cost attitude in corporate America. Experts tell me that may be why these AI giants are both racing towards public markets to sell that AI growth, while these numbers still at this point look that good.
Starting point is 01:46:22 So both have filed confidentially, Anthropic. When you look at the revenue, it's a $47 billion run rate that was up a 4x from last year. Open AI's run rate. When you look at revenue, it's roughly doubled from a year ago. Analyst and investors I've been talking to tell me the growth rates for Anthropic and Open AI are what they expect to be the fastest they're ever going to be. That is one good reason to go public now. The concern is that some of their largest enterprise customers are starting to rein in token spending and overall AI spend. And while that's expected to continue, folks are going to spend at AI, but one person told me what is absolutely hitting a peak, at least according to Darren Kamari. he's the CEO of AI squared. He says, the peak here is using the most expensive models for simpler tasks within organizations.
Starting point is 01:47:04 As he put it, employees don't need these powerful models on the market to write email. So the pressure is coming from all sides here. So I hear OpenAI has delayed their IPO now? That's a bad sign for them. Uh-oh. That's a bad sign. That's not good. And I saw, when you tell Horowitz on Tuesday, DH unplugged everybody.
Starting point is 01:47:27 Tuesdays 9 p.m. Eastern, they go live, shows out. Does he put it out the same night or is it Wednesday morning? No, no. He puts it out faster than you do. Oh, well, the show is a third of the length and it's scripted. Well, you don't have to get sensitive about it. No. Jeez. You're right.
Starting point is 01:47:50 It's kind of an offhanded compliment that you get it out so fast. I don't want, I don't even know why I responded that way. I apologize. You're very sensitive. I am just so sensitive. So he posts an interview with some guy on X, and I saw it. He's like, oh, yeah, you know, the best thing for the AI trade now is invested in people who have big battery storage. I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:48:15 So, yeah, because at peak hours, the AI is going to switch to battery power. That's exactly. That was that on a disciplined investor? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like, what? Like, okay. For what, 45 minutes?
Starting point is 01:48:31 How long is that going to last? No, I don't know. This is hilarious. That's too funny. Let me see. There was something, it was actually something kind of concerning. You know,
Starting point is 01:48:45 I've been seeing a lot of those videos of people finding tick boxes. Have you seen the tick box? Oh, the tick box. Yeah, the tick boxes. And there's these boxes that are just out in the wild. and they're just teething, seething with ticks. Ticks. And this is from the Farm Journal.
Starting point is 01:49:04 And I, you know, I'm with Texas Slim that, you know, this is a targeted operation. Another op. Well, it's against the American ranchers. And the op is by the big meatpackers. There's only three of them, I think, maybe four, three. Four. Mainly foreign owned. and they just want to bring crap cows up from South America.
Starting point is 01:49:28 And they want to continue doing that because there's drugs being smuggled and probably people being smuggled along with these cattle transports. I don't know if they put the drugs in the cow. But there's clearly a correlation between cartels and cows. The cow cartel. And this was on the Farm Journal. Well, Travis, thanks for joining us today. On June 9th, you posted some photos of your cattle just covered in ticks, and they're quite devastating. So can you tell us what happened to these animals and when the last time was that you checked them after seeing this?
Starting point is 01:50:05 So that was on Saturday. We were in the hay and right beside these cattle, walked through them. The one I posted a picture of was a, she was broke to show. She was a showcast. So I actually laid hands on her in the pasture field. Tuesday, the guy leased this farm from called and he says, you have a heifer laying out here. So we came out here and that's how we found her just covered in ticks.
Starting point is 01:50:33 And Monday driving through her, you couldn't see any on her. And Saturday, I actually laid hands on her and never saw a tick or anything. And we did have them tested and it was the Asian Longhorn tick on every farm, Every tick we got was that species. Have you ever seen ticks like this before? Your pictures are unbelievable. Never. My dad said they had them 30 or 40 years ago.
Starting point is 01:51:03 We were in the dairy business and had them pretty bad one year, but nothing like that. It's still bad. You can walk to the gate to open the gate out of the side beside and you'll have five or six crawling up your pant leg. That's not good. I don't know. This feels like something nefarious is going on. And we don't hear anything about the screw worm anymore. Screw worm just came and went. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:51:32 Very suspicious. Well, we got ranchers out there. They'll let us know what they think. We have the best producers in the universe, after all. The TPS, big win, or as the headlines go, Supreme Court hands Donald Trump a big win, hands him a big win. And this is the temporary protective status,
Starting point is 01:51:55 which we've been talking about for the length of this show. Probably ever since the Haitian earthquake. And it's kind of interesting because didn't Obama and Clinton and Bush, didn't they raise hundreds of billions of dollars for Haiti? Yeah, and don't send your blankets or your water. Just send your cash. Yeah. But somehow the Haitians, who as you know, are eating the dogs. They're eating the dogs.
Starting point is 01:52:26 Well, yeah. I got definitely the Haitians are being kicked out of the country, too. Do you have a clip on that? I have a Tom Holman, a short clip about the immigration. The TPS decision that the U.S. Supreme Court is 6'3 about they can allow. So the president has the constitutional authority to make it temporary and not permanent. It's a right call. You know, I've been doing this since 1984. TPS has never been temporary. That's why the whole
Starting point is 01:52:59 statute exists. Temporarily give people protection while the countries in turmoil or after they suffer a hurricane. But the problem is no administration has had the guts to actually follow that statute. President Trump has the guts to follow the law. So
Starting point is 01:53:14 temporary means temporary. When the condition that country gets better, they need to go home. You know, there are millions of people staying in line want to be part of the greatest nation on Earth. And that goes back to my early point. People say, why are you arrested if they're not going to have been under 10 years? Because they cheated the system. They may have been in 10 years. Let's remember, when you enter the country, it's a crime, and they're doing that, putting themselves in front of the line, while millions of people are taking their test, doing their background of investigation, paying their fees to be part of the greatest nation on earth.
Starting point is 01:53:45 So temporary means temporary, and I'm grateful for that decision. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. Yep. Just send your cash. Now, they got a lot of cash. And then didn't they build one hotel, the Bill Clinton Hotel and a couple of homes? Yeah, on the other side of the island.
Starting point is 01:54:02 Sean Penn built a couple of homes. And then they had the islands where the cruise ships rolled up. And there was like a Hooker's Paradise. Yeah. And then Clinton's, was it Clinton's brother who got the gold. rights in Haiti. And then there was... I forgot about that part.
Starting point is 01:54:22 And then they were smuggling out kids. The whole thing was it... It was so. Todry. Tadry, yes. I was going to say sketchy, but Tadry is a better word. And so now it's time to go.
Starting point is 01:54:34 And, you know, of course, now is the problem. Well, in NPR, all they do was moan about this. And they say, well, these poor people, they're locked into the community. They've been here for some... Over a decade. And they got jobs and family. And it's a Shame. And more I was thinking about, yeah, what Holman indicated was, yeah, you do them temporary
Starting point is 01:54:55 thing and you never ship them back. That's been the strategy. We just don't ship them back ever. No, in fact, we ship them in and we ship them to specific locations where factories need cheap labor. Yeah, so they can vote Democrat. And they can eat the pets. They eat the dogs. I still think Trump won on that line. They did. You're eating the dogs. Oh, no, no. Let's get the, let's get it good. Let's get the, uh, hold on. Where is it? Here we go. They're eating the dogs. Oh, man. So good.
Starting point is 01:55:29 Dude. In context, it's even funnier. Because, you know, Camel was on some sort of a roll. And he interrupted her with that line. Here's the, uh, out of the blue. Here's the full line. In Springfield. They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats.
Starting point is 01:55:52 They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame. It's a shame. It's a shame. It's a shame. That's the line of the day. It's a shame.
Starting point is 01:56:10 They're eating the dogs. All right. What else you got? You want to roll one more out here? Well, I've got a couple. A lot of interesting things. You've got airline organization crashes. Yeah, this is good. Well, play that airline organization crashes thing. This is something fishy about this. The most recent close call happened this weekend. Confusion. As a Delta flight aborted its landing in Boston, after a cockpit collision alert warned that an American jet was just 300 feet away on an intersecting runway.
Starting point is 01:56:41 Delta 3.233.2. I'm going around because of America. Market 301. Where you go? He cleared is her takeoff 3161. Today, a stunning revelation from the organization that represents the nation's airlines. There are many more, thousands of more of near misses than are probably out there in the public and that, you know, get the headlines. There are hundreds of them every single day. But only a fraction make the news.
Starting point is 01:57:06 The FAA says most reported incidents are not close calls and that runway incursion rates have decreased more than 10% since last year. In April, the FAA says two Southwest planes came within five. 500 feet of each other over Nashville. And a close call between two regional jets at New York's JFK Airport. You fly through the approach course of running 3-1 less, correct? The video. Wilco, brickyard 4464.
Starting point is 01:57:32 And following horrific crashes in Washington, Louisville, and New York. This has been a year when we've had many, many serious close calls. The pilots union and NTSB want Congress to require all planes to have precise GPS-based air traffic receivers that show surrounding air traffic, something the American Airlines crew did not have and the fatal mid-air crash over Washington. If we don't have a deadline, it will never happen. While the Senate wants to set a deadline, the House has declined, concerned that it would create an excessive burden on airlines and aircraft owners.
Starting point is 01:58:06 Well, a couple things about this. First of all, we have more air traffic controllers than anybody, any podcast anywhere. and I'm a little, just, I have a twinge of disappointment that no one has contacted me with their opinion on this. I think a couple of things happened in the particular case of the crossed runways. This is not abnormal, this type of clearance for, you have a one on final, which is kind of short final, you have one taking off. That's not abnormal. Two things, though, the controller did not say clear for departure immediately or make it fast. You know, there's a whole bunch of things you hear from air traffic control, which means go now and, you know, moving.
Starting point is 01:59:00 There's a whole bunch of ways they say it. That didn't happen. And it still took about 30 to 40 seconds before the American airline took off. But then there's also, from what I understand, all these major airports have the runway, light incursion system. That's probably not what it's called. And it's automatic. It's not, it's not something ATC flips on. So if there's an aircraft incoming or that is about to cross the runway, red lights light up all across the runway. We don't know if that worked or not or if it was ignored. So that, that's a safety measure that was put in specifically for this. But ultimately,
Starting point is 01:59:38 it's all about military contractors with the next gen aviation system. That's what everybody wants. Where is that anyway? That's what they want. They want more, more gear. More gear, new gear, more gear. Yeah, that's probably what. Of course. And that's what you do.
Starting point is 01:59:55 That's what these stories are. And just say a prayer for your air traffic controllers because they do a great job and for your pilots. And you know what? Shit happens. 33,000 flights a day over the United States. Exactly. Exactly. It's a lot.
Starting point is 02:00:10 The most dangerous part of flying is driving to the airport. That's just the truth. It reminds me about one of my, we have these stories called Phyllis stories. It's my mom. Oh. She always said these stories. You've said stories that your mom would tell us. I didn't never knew her name was Phyllis.
Starting point is 02:00:28 Yeah, Phyllis. So we had these Phyllis stories. Wait, wait, the most legendary Phyllis story is that the Chinese are stealing our toilet paper. Oh, yeah, the toilet paper story. But she has, she has this one, too. This is another classic. There's also the brown chicken eggs. But,
Starting point is 02:00:44 Philist story. So this story, so I'm going on some trip. And it's just the classic response to anything I ever said to her. She says, why are you going on a trip? I said, I'm going to Europe. She's, oh, it's so unsafe. It's so unsafe to fly. I said, mom, there's 33,000 flights a day every day.
Starting point is 02:01:09 How unsafe could it be? She says, oh, my, no one. I wonder there's so much air pollution. It's just like without missing a beat. So that's where you get it from. Now I understand. It's all Phyllis. It's the Phyllis DNA that's running through your veins.
Starting point is 02:01:29 That's what's going on there. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say, in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in the... What do we have? Where was it? Airplane crash. They're the cow cartel. No, cow cartel.
Starting point is 02:01:45 Everybody say hello to my friend on the other end, the one the only, Mr. John. Peter Morris. Hey, how much do you, this man, Gary, Marys, see, blitz the breath in the air, subs in the water, and the dames of the nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, don't move, let me catch you. Don't have. It's doing better. What do we have here?
Starting point is 02:02:10 1563. There you go. Over 50, 1,000. One and a half thousand people listening live to this to this podcast. Top that, Sean Ryan. We do it live, baby. That's with no editing. We also won't do it six hours.
Starting point is 02:02:25 Well, we've done six hours once. 7.5. Was that it on the 1000th anniversary? Was it episode 1,000? Was that when we did that? It was 10th anniversary. Oh, 10th anniversary. Oh, 10th anniversary.
Starting point is 02:02:43 Just 19 years, not even 20. I've got to make it to 20 at least. Before we start getting into any of this, I want to make an announcement. There's no more red nights available. What? How about the guy that just emailed today? Did he get in? That's the last one, that guy.
Starting point is 02:02:59 He got in? Oh, okay, because I saw that. I'm like, oh. No, the guy, he took the rest of them. Oh, okay. He's coming in with a rubble. He'll be on this Thursday show. He's coming in with a rubbleizer donation.
Starting point is 02:03:10 No way. scarf up the end of the thing. Oh, so they're done. They're scarf. They're out. He came in and got him for his whole family? Yeah, Jay did a double count today and we're done. Okay.
Starting point is 02:03:22 Wow. All right. I mean, maybe by popular demand, we'd make some more, but it has to... Nah, I don't think. Probably not. You're healed. I mean, let's be honest about it. It's done.
Starting point is 02:03:32 You're back. We saved you. We gave you a reason to live. You're here. You're here. You got a reason to live. No agenda show. Hey, hey, are you knocking this?
Starting point is 02:03:44 Come on, man. Yes, the no agenda. It's like slave labor. Forced to do this show. Wake up, get up. Get back to the show. That's exactly what Mimi was saying. And maybe the public.
Starting point is 02:04:04 We have to do this show or else. The funniest was your family, not concerned at all. Now, we just got to give them a reason to. live. Let's show him the cash. Oh, that's right. We laugh a lot on this show. That's for sure. People who are listening live, they're using one of those modern podcast apps. Get one now. Today. What are you waiting for? Stop using legacy stuff. It's really not worth it. You can listen to us live when we go live. If not, don't worry about it. Within 90 seconds, we're publishing. You'll get a notification on the modern podcast app. Podcastapp.com. So we're
Starting point is 02:04:41 Value for Value, which is kind of interesting how we have a lot of recurring value for value don'ts. We got to talk about Manuka Gold, though. They got to slow down a bit on their notes. Have you noticed this? Hello? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:00 I didn't look at today's. Oh, no, you'll see. So the beauty of Value for Value is that we give you the show. We're not forcing you to subscribe to anything. We're not taking money out of your bank account every single month, unless you want us to. But we just want you to return the value whenever you feel that you've received value from the show. It could just be a laugh. It could be a career opportunity could be something that made you feel smart around the water cooler.
Starting point is 02:05:29 Are there still water coolers in businesses? I don't even know anymore. I don't know. People just, no, probably not. Well, it's in a while you'll see one. Yeah. Well, where do people hang out? Do they even hang out anymore?
Starting point is 02:05:39 Is this part of the loneliness happening? No, they're on there looking at their phones. It's not, and the loneliness epitam, did, did Pastor Jimmy bring up Satan's tool? It was Pastor Brian. Oh, Brian, one of the Bryans, one of the four Bryans, he come up there? Was he holding up Satan's tool, the Antichrist, called a smartphone and blamed the whole thing on that? Because that's the real issue. He actually did.
Starting point is 02:06:04 Well, good for him. But it was an iPad, but he did. An iPad? Yeah. Well, he had to do it for effect because he needed to show. Oh, yeah, because he probably was on the phone all day like everyone else. PB is a good guy. PB1.
Starting point is 02:06:23 We got a lot of PBs over there. So, yes, where was it? You've confused me. We are value for value, which means if you support the show, we will thank you. If it's above $50, we'll thank you on the show. If not, we, for reasons of anonymity, we don't do anything below $50. And there's a lot of people who send very small amounts, which is all appreciated. Everybody should be sending some small amount at some point in time, considering we have a lot of people listening.
Starting point is 02:06:53 It would be nice if everyone did it. We know that doesn't work. So Wikipedia, which is Wikimedia, someone sent me their latest fundraising drive. And they're about the same as us. They say, you know, if all the people use Wikipedia. Now, Wikipedia is no longer an outstanding product. Wikipedia sucks. They really ruined that product.
Starting point is 02:07:15 But in their own value for value ask, they say about 2% of people who use Wikipedia as supported. And they're doing millions. Yeah, because 2% of their usage is off to charge. It's hundreds of millions of people. Yeah. They're doing quite well there. Or at least they're hanging in. And so we know, they're doing well if there's, yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:41 We have a, we have a promise that if you are able to support us with $200 or more, not only will we give you an official Hollywood title. And it's real because Hollywood, you can go look at. Lots of Hollywood people have this. And these are the Hollywood people who soon will be special guests at your meetup. You get the associate executive producer title. And we will read your note. Guaranteed.
Starting point is 02:08:03 Within reason. $300 or more. you get an executive producer credit, and we will read your note within reason. So what a lot of people have done is they receive value from the show. And it's family business. You got Eli DeKofi Guy, Lynda Lippecan, and they'll have a little plug.
Starting point is 02:08:20 You know, we're happy to read the plug. But, you know, there's a limit. Because it's a beautiful system. Is it really advertising? No, because we don't have any conversations. We don't set a rate. We don't have a rate card. We don't have a meeting.
Starting point is 02:08:37 We don't have a meeting. We don't have to provide statistics and our CPM value, which, by the way, when you think about it, the whole fact that podcasting that people sell ads based on CPM, it can only be erased to the bottom. When you insert ads, you know, a pre-roll. I mean, there's four million podcasts. It's going to be five million within a year with all the AI slopcasts that are going out there. there. And so there's just all this inventory that means it's only becoming less valuable. Yeah, too much inventory. Yeah. I mean, it's unlimited inventory. How much podcast do you want? Infinite. Infinite. Thank you. It's infinite. So it's not a winning strategy. And it's annoying.
Starting point is 02:09:23 So we decided, we'll just do it this way. And, you know, I love the small businesses because they get as much a kick out of the No Agenda community as we do because people send notes and they thank them for their product and they give them their testimonials. And so you'll see we have a couple of those today. And some of them that are really funny, but just really, Manuka Gold really got me today. So first we start with...
Starting point is 02:09:51 Well, you give them enough plugs right now. You don't even have to read their note. No, I'm not going to be like that. you're getting, well, I wasn't really suggesting, I'm just saying, I'm going to scold them. It's not as though they don't get bang for their buck. I'm going to scold them. Now, what is this, uh, is this meetup money that came in here at the top of the list? No, this is money. No, you just skip it. It is the, okay, the old legacy account. Yeah. Which was the old $5, $2, $1, there's old, it has been building up for about 10 years.
Starting point is 02:10:26 nickel and dime, nickel and dime. That's about five years worth. I had to move it over because I got to get, move it over. You've got to eventually get, got to move it over. So I moved it over for load balancing. We needed the money. Load balancing. Holy moly.
Starting point is 02:10:46 All right. I love the load balancing. Okay, so I can just ignore that. Yeah, just ignore that. All right. So then we go to Brendan Flemer. Am I saying that right? Am I on the right note here? I didn't even see this note initially, so I have some work to do here.
Starting point is 02:11:03 He comes in with $1,000, which is very much appreciated. And he says, IT... No, no, no, you're David Rosa. Oh, I'm sorry, I got the note first. Oh, David Rosa. I'm sorry, there you go. David Rosa comes in from Clarkson, Michigan, $1,000 plus fees, $1,30, and $26. And he says, so glad that John, the patriarch of the Order of the Heart, is on on the mend. He's done. He's good people.
Starting point is 02:11:28 By the way, is there still progress being made on the Rubelizer challenge coins? Well, this is a question for you. The answer? We need the answer. No, not yet. Well, soon. Now that we're completely done with the heart donation, it's time to get to work. Okay. I'll talk to Paul about it.
Starting point is 02:11:54 See, I wanted to make Paul do it because Paul, yeah for some reason has a knack for certain kinds of designing challenge coins yes he does and he's his challenge coin is still the best of the all we had a lot of people doing challenge coins and designing him and ever but paul's is he's got a uh he's got i don't know what it is it's just it's just some sort of knack it's all i could call it yeah for doing this stuff and i have to talk him into it because it's work for him. Oh, well, Paul, we'd love it. We'll love it if you could do that.
Starting point is 02:12:28 He doesn't listen to the show. Really? I don't know. He does the art generator but doesn't listen to the show. I mean, people, they do that. All right. All right. It happens. Yes. Okay. Next, you're up.
Starting point is 02:12:42 This is a note. Yeah, this is from a note. This is a Brendan, Brendan Flemer in Bismarck and North Dakota. And he's the one who sent in the $1,000. very short note, ITM. I couldn't think of a witty knight name that hasn't already been claimed. So I'm just going to go
Starting point is 02:13:02 with my given name. Jingles, he does have some jingle requests. Biden, the full load, two to the head, Obama, you might die. A little story, this mini story. And then he has a round table request of flesh clue, flesh, flesh, flesh,
Starting point is 02:13:20 flesh, flesh, flesh, fash-ke-lou, flesh-ke-c-cliu. Flish Kiklou. Whatever that is. And corn butch. Cambucha, corn butcha. This is corn here. No it doesn't.
Starting point is 02:13:32 Keep up the extraordinary way. By the way, kombucha. We talked about this. It's bad. It's dangerous. It's something is dangerous. The best mycologist in the country. It's a witch's brew.
Starting point is 02:13:45 It can't be duplicate. Nobody knows what's even in that mother. It's just a bunch of different animals living there. Hey. When you give us the vinegar book, we'll believe what you're saying. Until then... I'm just saying. There's no evidence.
Starting point is 02:14:00 I don't drink it. Okay. Keep up the exemplary work soon, Sir Flemer. I'm going to give you the whole load today. You might die. There you go. And we move on to Knights John, who is from Tucson, Arizona. and he sends in $6.26.26.
Starting point is 02:14:28 I don't see. Do I have this note? Yeah, it's a note. It's the second note on that same page. Oh, could you read it because for some reason I closed that one. John, this donation is 6262626 is for my palindrome birthday on June 26. We've been skipping these palindromes. The whole week has been palindrome week. Like today's show, 1881. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:50 Yeah. This is a great way to connect birthdays to donations. To boot, I'll be 6-7. Wow. As near as I can tell, most people can expect to get one of these in a lifetime. I'm sure the numerology nerds out there can do some predicting and forecast show donations on this basis. Yeah, they can and the show donations are down. Maybe this will keep John smiling.
Starting point is 02:15:17 No. Thank you for your courage. Knight John, protector of the pocket protectors and keeper of his 15 grandchildren. Now there's a guy that does his work. Jingles F-35 Karma and WTC7. Okay, this is what I didn't have. F-35 Karma.
Starting point is 02:15:37 And he wants WT, well, I'm going to do WTC7 first because that's a better sequence. WTC-7 won't go. You've got. Karma. I'll do the next two because it got Manuka Gold coming up to. 333 from, let's see. This is from, wait, no.
Starting point is 02:16:08 I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Manuka Gold comes first. I'm a mess today. I'm a mess. I'm a mess. I'm a mess. I'm a wreck. Here it is. Manuka Gold. Hudson, Florida, 333.33.33. You notice too long, Manuka. Hi, gentlemen. As always, the Manuka Gold family.
Starting point is 02:16:24 is thrilled to support the show. We've enjoyed all the fun ITM comments when you place your orders, and it's nice to hear from all the like-minded people. On Thursdays, it's my fault. Adam noticed we changed the 20% off code to track what works, so we might as well make the code fun for all of us
Starting point is 02:16:40 and solve a long-standing debate in our family. Who do you think needs Manuka Gold's pain relief gel more? Rocky after Apollo in Rocky 1? Or Rambo God. Or Rambo after the Russian got hold of him in Rambo 2.
Starting point is 02:17:00 Cast your vote with your 20% off code at checkout. Use either Rambo or Rocky. See, you're pushing it, Manuka. Don't you think they're pushing? Am I wrong that they're pushing it here? Well, belaboring is the word I'd be using. And I don't think it's the gag is not that funny. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:17:20 Did you know that Sylvester Stallone was banned from Everett? traveling to Russia because of that movie? No. Is he still banned? I think so. Feel free to explain your vote in the order notes. If you don't need top quality of Manuka Honey Products this week, feel free to contact us through our email on manukukkahgold.com and put in a vote. Oh, so you don't have no purchase necessary is what you're supposed to say.
Starting point is 02:17:42 Everyone can play. We have our own opinions, but we'll see if the majority agrees. Stay tuned. Yes, you don't get to do your own segment. That's not how it works. And I was going to do a really nice testimonial from Tina, but now I'll have to wait. Because you used up all your time with your Rambo versus Rocky. And we thank you so much for supporting us.
Starting point is 02:18:05 All right. You're going to do the next one too, you said. No, I'll do that fine. Hunt Defenthaler. Perns? What is this? Hans Defenthaler Perns. Boca Raton, mouth of the rat.
Starting point is 02:18:24 Not me. 333.33. This is long overdue. Please deduished. You've been deduished. Hello from the southernmost island in the Caribbean archipelago. Boca Raton. I found no agenda during COVID when I had a longing for simpler times and wondered what Adam
Starting point is 02:18:45 Curry from MTV was up to. Can you imagine? Oh, man, we're locked down from COVID. I wonder what Curry is doing. And I go to YouTube and see Adam's appearance on Rogan, which was just before the lockdowns. I felt like I found my tribe and immediately had an amygdala resizing. I'm going to cut this short and just say,
Starting point is 02:19:06 thank you for everything. John, you gave us a scare, but glad you are here. Sorry, I couldn't do this sooner, but better late than ever. Cheers. And until the next donation, kind regards from Hans. Thank you, Hans. Yeah, well, thanks for the compliment. Yes.
Starting point is 02:19:21 Dr. Don. and Dame Audra, they were at the meetup. And did anyone come in with cash donations? Like no blankets, water, but cash? Well, this is interesting because everyone comes in with all the donations from the meetup were cash, except for one. All right. Except for one.
Starting point is 02:19:41 Did you, do you have them all or are there in the spreadsheet? They're all mixed in. They're in here. There wasn't, there wasn't no consolidation. Okay. All right. It wasn't necessary. So they just blend them right in.
Starting point is 02:19:54 So we got a note, hello boys. Thank you for your courage, a little feedback for Crazy Steve. Please don't ever schedule a meetup on Pride Weekend. What, did he have a... The traffic through the Bay East Bay was horrendous.
Starting point is 02:20:10 Worst than legacy podcast apps. Many thanks to you, John. And that may have been the problem with the meetup being so poorly attended. Half of our audience was in the parade. They're in the pride. You get paraded. Not I think about it. Many thanks to you, John and Adam and the entire No Agenda Back Office for the gift of the best podcast in the universe. I love Dr. Don and Dame Audra, Bricks and Man and mini fig steals from old people. That's some code for something. Now, what is this Apple note paper? Well, he works at Apple. He's one of the Apple guys that watches the
Starting point is 02:20:50 show and he is uh he watches the show wow those guys at apple they got what am i saying they got some with the cans with a cans on yeah well with a cane he's blind so i'm sorry i said that but you're even worse brought it to my attention you're the worst uh he brought and gave me the new one dollar apparently every state's got one these these commemorative one dollars. It was sold out. He has a bag of them of the one dollar coin, California commemorative coin, official real coin with Steve Jobs on it. No way. So Steve Jobs got on the coin. Like a real dollar. You can spend it in the store. Yes. It's an actual US currency dollar. What? And it's got Steve Jobs on it. It was funny when
Starting point is 02:21:47 And Brennan looked at the coin. He says, he says, the Steve Jobs' depiction on the back looked like that Ramirez guy, the serial killer, kind of look like him. And so, so everybody was, you know, the same, I had the same reaction. Everybody had the same reaction. This can't be real. Yeah. Because this is supposed to be, it was determined that Steve was the most important Californian that we could put on this coin. and California minted this themselves?
Starting point is 02:22:21 No, no, this was minted from the U.S. regular, wherever stamps out the coins back, I think Philadelphia. Besson did it himself personally. So these coins, and they only made a limited number, they're already selling for six bucks, looks they're going to go to 20. And I was thinking, all the people that could have been put on this coin, California's,
Starting point is 02:22:46 pick Steve Jobs, I don't know, but at the same time, according to Don, they sold out in 12 minutes. And he got a bag of him. He got a whole bag and he gave us to get him to other Apple people. That's cool. Cool it is. As an aside, I apologize. I had no idea the Rocky versus Rambo would be such a hit. The troll room is still arguing.
Starting point is 02:23:16 over it. Oh, well, okay. Well, I take it back. Great promotion. We've been wrong before. At least we admit when we're wrong. So, uh, anyway, so they, that was, I thought was, uh, yeah, that's cool. That's cool. I'm glad you got one. Where's mine? Actually, Brunetti wants one too. When Brunetti comes to the, as the guest star of the meetup, you know, probably going to do it. You're dodging the question. About what? Where's mine? Well, he had to go hold of Don.
Starting point is 02:23:52 Maybe he's got a couple left. He might send you one. He didn't give me one to give you. Let's put it that way. Well, that's obvious. You weren't at the meetup. I've met Steve Jobs and I should get one. I met Steve Jobs too.
Starting point is 02:24:05 Yeah, for an hour privately. I met him when he was during the Apple II era. Oh, well. When he was not quite the A hole he later became. He was very nice. What would you guys doing privately? Talking. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 02:24:21 Eli the Coffee Guy is back. He's in Bensonville, Illinois, and he's back with his $200 plus the date, $6.28. And we love hearing from Eli the Coffee Guy. He says, as America gets ready to celebrate his 250th anniversary, I want to reflect on the nation our forefathers built. There's still no freer or greater place on earth than the United States of America. Patriots rebelled against Britain and its oppressive taxes by dumping tea into the Boston Harbor. In its place, we adopted coffee. Gigawatt is just keeping the tradition alive, crafting the finest, freshest beans.
Starting point is 02:25:03 This is how you do it. Visit gigawatt coffee roasters.com and use code ITM 20 for 20% off your order, and stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee guy. Linda Lopatkin is up. She's in Castle Rock, Colorado, and says, jobs, karma. Your resume is about 10 seconds to make an impression. And most don't. For a resume that gets results, go to Imagemakers Inc.com. Linda helps professionals and executives position their experience so employers see their value. That's ImageMakers Inc. with a K. And Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs
Starting point is 02:25:42 and Rews. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got Karma. And we still have a couple more 200s here. Steve Peterson is in Kingarroy. That's in Queensland, Australia, 200. And that would be probably, oh, he had, oh, wait, he become, he will be an executive producer because it is 303 dollars and 12 cents in the dollarie dollarettes from Australia. So we do honor that number. And he says, good day. Cochinda is right. Check out the Fabian window. A deliberately hot world being forged. by elitist clowns and Australia's leaders are all in. The exchange rate sucks. $200 U.S.D. is 303 and 12 Australian cents. Wow, that is pretty bad. That's a third less. You know, the countries that suck the most right now,
Starting point is 02:26:39 that really suck the most are the UK, Canada, and Australia. Well, Germany's pretty bad. Yeah, yeah. And you get your Hollanders there, you know, your... Well, I'm going to be giving you... Boots on the ground Thursday. We leave on Wednesday. We're going for almost two weeks to see if we can time it with the arrival.
Starting point is 02:26:58 You're going there for the baby's birth. We hope so. What do you hope so? I mean the kid might be delayed. What if the kids? Or it could be born while you're in the air. Well, that's okay. That would be okay.
Starting point is 02:27:15 It's going to save me money going back. Well, you're going to take the baby with you? No. If the baby's... If the baby's born after we've already left, we have to go back, of course. Oh, geez. That's right. I told Christina, like, can you jump up and down a bit?
Starting point is 02:27:33 Yeah. Can jump up and down. It's pizza. Pizza. Pizza. Oh, pizza. Pizza. Is that what it does it?
Starting point is 02:27:41 Pizza? Yeah, a big slice of pizza, and boom, you have a baby. Okay. That's a known fact. It's been works for everybody. And, you know, of course, we'll have a curry grandbaby. donation amount. We have all kinds of fun stuff. Think of the show, John. Think of the show.
Starting point is 02:27:56 Ah. All right. Oh, Robert, we got one last one. Robert Montoy in Pleasant Hill. $200. No note. Well, no note. That means a double up karma for you. You've got Double up. Karma.
Starting point is 02:28:14 And we thank these executive and associate executive producers for episode 1,881 481 profusely. We appreciate it very, very much. and of course you get these official Hollywood credits, associate executive producer or executive producer. They are valid wherever Hollywood credits are recognized, and that includes your LinkedIn profile and your IMDB,
Starting point is 02:28:33 and we thank you. Our formula is this. We hit people in the mouth. And as promise, we will thank the rest of our time, talent, and treasure supporters. You know what we forgot? We completely forgot the artwork. And I'm not sure how that happened. No, that's funny.
Starting point is 02:29:03 I should have caught it. Should we do that real quick before I do the 50s? Sure. Yeah. That's part of the time, talent, and treasure. We had episode 1880, the Antifa Book Club, the artwork, which was funny. It was good. Of course, it's Darren O'Neill.
Starting point is 02:29:18 This was our president with his snorkel coming out of the reflecting pool filled with algae with his own. A lot of people like that piece. Because it's a good piece. It's humorous. Although the AI kind of, if you look at it carefully, there's a, what looks like a P-51 trainer airplane with a banner with no agenda. And the ropes with the banner are on the far side of the Washington monument, which seems a little unlikely.
Starting point is 02:29:50 Yeah, seems unlikely. Seems a bit unlikely. But it was a great piece. And yes, and that's what it is. sometimes Darren O'Neill, man. He just, he has it. He's got that magic. Let's see.
Starting point is 02:30:02 We looked at other things, though. I think there was something that I like that you didn't like. There was not much. I kind of like the, the, well, the scrabble. You're right. It wasn't all that great. Well, the scrabble is what Jay used for the newsletter. So she did like it.
Starting point is 02:30:17 She's been putting it together. And I call her up and say, where are you using this? Yeah, I think it's really good looking. And I said, that's what Adam said. Yeah. And then. So I find it very irksome. Some people like, hey, I like the no agenda in the reflecting pool.
Starting point is 02:30:31 We already done one of those gags. The gag is over. A lot of rodenticide, a lot of dead rats, rats deteriorated. This is a little gruesome. But there also wasn't a lot. There wasn't a lot. It was only like maybe. There was no inspiration.
Starting point is 02:30:47 We get lots of art when people get inspired by something we say. And so the Antifa Book Club, which is what the title of the show was, Blue Acorn, did an Antifa book club art. which blowed up is a great piece of art, but it's too small for the art as just a poster-sized image. It's a waste because it was really good, but blowed up. It would be nice on the wall or something. Yeah, that was one of the pieces. It had been huge to be appreciated.
Starting point is 02:31:20 All right. Now we continue with our 50s and above, and we left off with the Duke of San Francisco, who sends us $160. Thank you. Robin Tolbert from Topeka, Kansas, 133.33. We love the 33s. James Powers in Carnegie, Oklahoma, 100. Lydia of the Shire.
Starting point is 02:31:39 Let me mention something about Lydia. So she's at the meetup. And with the, I want to thank her for the bag of, she has dropped off a bag of giant Meyer lemons, which I'd never seen them quite that big. And some other goodies in the process. and she's about to become a dame. Okay.
Starting point is 02:32:01 $100 on her way. Sir Zolbat, 100. C-C-P-E-N-O. Was that a meet-up person? I don't know. C-C-C-E-N-O, $100. Coming in with $80 and $8. $8.008.
Starting point is 02:32:17 Tried on your calculator. Kevin McLaughlin. He is the Arch Luke of Duna, lover of America and boobs. He's from Concord, North Carolina. And he says, 1881, Laos Deo, which translates to praise B-2. God inscribed on top of the Washington Monument facing east towards the rising sun.
Starting point is 02:32:33 The more you learn, the more you know. John Albarini, $70.26. Rebecca Haugh was 63. And she says, John Adam, I love you both.

Starting point is 02:38:44 and they took their sweet time. In the morning, Adam and John is Augusto de Britannian. We are here in Berlin, Germany. Today was a lovely day for a meetup. It was 33 degrees in the afternoon. Hi, everyone. Here is Tal from Berlin.

And we, yeah, had some drinks and some food and some fun. And it's really been a good time, good people. Hello, greetings from Berlin. Even though we are in Germany, there are no Germans among us.
Starting point is 02:39:32 So if you're a German and you want to come to the next meetup in Berlin, please do. We have a Brazilian, two Americans. I'm Polish, and we have a French guy too. I've resisted. Greetings from Berlin. This is the first time I ever even heard of this podcast. But yeah, these are some very nice people, and I've had a lovely evening. There was all of this discussion about what am I going to say, what are you going to say? Everyone wants to rehearse what they're going to say. But one thing that we thought we needed to mention is that the server is here in Berlin are zero interested to be part of our meetup report. Selkiris, when they're pete, she probably said you...
Starting point is 02:40:18 That actually tells us something. That's interesting information. Germany has been so suppressed with free speech. That's right. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. Put me, I get nothing to do that.
Starting point is 02:40:33 I don't want to get arrested. No, exactly. The Gestapo were on the way. Yeah, that's exactly right. Wow. That is pathetic. Yeah. Sorry for you, Germany.
Starting point is 02:40:42 Well, thank you, thank you guys for your Berlin Meetup report. And it sounds like at least there's some sane people in Germany these days. We also have a meetup in Alabama taking place as we speak, the Northern Alabama meetup at Mellow Mushroom and Decatur.

Starting point is 02:42:18 It's like a party. We do have end of show mixes coming up from the trifect. Just Baker, Johnny B, an MVP. We've got John's tip of the day, and I do not see any ISOs from you today. I felt so bad about winning the last one. Oh. When I thought you had a better ISO, I'd defer to that one. But you probably can't find your old ISO.
Starting point is 02:42:40 from the last show. I probably can. Which is the one you like better? Well, if you played them, I can tell you. I think it was the first one. Let's see. I think it was... There's nothing else like that on planet Earth.
Starting point is 02:42:56 Was it that one? That's a good one. I have this one. These guys are great entertainers. Very smart, very funny. I have new ones. I have new ones. It's highly entertaining.
Starting point is 02:43:07 And I have another new one. That was great. I kind of like that one. I'm a little partial to that. I like the first one that you played just from Vegas was the last show. This one? There's nothing else like that on planet Earth. That's the one?
Starting point is 02:43:22 Yeah. Okay, we'll do that one. But first, we have to listen to John because he's got another tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. All right, I got a wine tip from Costco. All right.
Starting point is 02:43:43 Wake the kids. Only because people keep wanting these wine tips from Costco. That's all we really want. I'm going to try to get a couple in a month. Okay. This is a 2020. Now, this is for people who are really shardiné aficionados. I don't know if you want to want this wine.
Starting point is 02:44:02 This is for the ABC people. ABC, anything but shardin. The women who are, that use the term, ABC, which means anything but chardonnay. Right. There's a bunch of people that started to hate it. They don't like the buttery, the delicious buttery chardonnays.
Starting point is 02:44:22 They don't like oak. They don't like this. They don't like that. This is a, but they like a crisp, clean chardonnay. But they, you know, like a Chablis would be a good example from France. Yes. In France, they have the range of chardonnays that's only equaled by California. we have an incredible range of quality chardonnays,
Starting point is 02:44:44 which is probably our best grape. Now, you did one of these recently. You did an ABC wine recommendation. Yeah, but it wasn't a charonet. It was actually a true ABC one, I believe. Okay, okay. This is a chardonnay that qualifies because it's, I consider a very well-made, unobtrusive chardonnay for people who don't like chardonnay necessarily.
Starting point is 02:45:07 And maybe if you like chardonnay, you'd like this wine, too. It's the Ferrari Carano, which they always make a good wine. It's a Sonoma Valley operation. F-E-R-A-R-A-R-I-C-A-N-O, 2024 Sonoma County Chardonnay. And it's available at Costco for 1598. Wow, that's a pretty good price. It's a reasonable price.
Starting point is 02:45:34 What is it? Some of the ladies here, they're drinking something else. and say they all go for not not blunk to blanc that's that's bubbly right blount to blanc is bubbly Blanc to Blanc is typically a sparkling wine yeah what is the other was something else that not a V and A in your own Blanc? No maybe I'm trying to think no blonk I don't remember I'm going to have to five well thanks a lot that's useful not useful at all not useful you know Matt Long came up to me it reminds me You know, hey, John, hey John, I had this fabulous wine at this restaurant.

Starting point is 02:46:30 And sometimes, Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti. Yeah, all right, everybody. That's it. I will be flying out of here. on Wednesday and landing Thursday morning and doing the show for you until midnight because
Starting point is 02:46:44 I love you and we do this as a public service. We love doing it. We love it. And before we go today, we have end of show mixers, mixes as T's from Just Baker, MVP, and Sir Johnny B.

So we'll return on Thursday. we hope that you tune in because if you want to make sense of what's happening in your world, why the media is talking such bull crap, we'll deconstruct it for you. And until then, I am coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill country, where we have our giraffe back in the morning, everybody.

I'm picking the safety keep Empire four pack NYC chair West Coast may a stack corridor crew holds power While the base snooes they lead with free Palestine Is the fix for local decline Guys are keynote in the suburb war zone where the priest and guards left
Starting point is 02:50:05 Clocking virgins on a parental Wi-Fi plan with ideologies Resuming in reality bishop that list left burn left wins Sweet blue sleep the ground games elite While the death only sells in the deep but the misery's deep No agenda TSA just crush the scene low turnout big upset door knock winning machines Talking free Palestine while I'm just buying fries and half of them still live at home surprise
Starting point is 02:51:25 What's my party again? What's my party again? They're running, let in play. Same boat or same trend. I'm still asking, yo, what's my party again? To fund this and that nationalized every brand never had a job, but they got a master plan. Party bosses losing grip, rents, crime.
Starting point is 02:51:51 Culture fights, chaos never ends. So I'm stuck yelling. Hey, what's my party again? Mofo. Devorac.org slash N.A. It's like that on planet Earth.
