It's delicious. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorey. DeVore. It's Sunday, July 5th, 2026. This is your award-winning Gimmon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1883. This is no agenda. Still no baby. But we're broadcasting live from Museum Square here in the heart of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

And from northern Silicon Valley, where I can tell you that on behalf of public broadcasting, in case you didn't know, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. I'm John C. DeVorek. It's crackbott and buzzkill. In the morning. Yes, it's a scandal, I tell you. A scandal. Scandal.

Oh, boy. Hey, John, I'm still here in the socialist-slaught communist country of the Netherlands. And how you doing there? You know, there's a couple problems here. First of all, we had a really nice reunion with the family. it was great. It's nice to see everybody. Half of my nephews or socialists.

And they say it. I say, but... Do they greet each other with comrade? Uncle Adam, I'm a socialist. Say, yeah, that's why you're poor. Yes, that's true. No, they are very angry. And they're angry at two things.

The main things they're angry about since you asked is hydration breaks. Yeah, I can see that. You're taking the entire energy out of the game. Say, yeah, but you know, you got to live with it. This is how we're going to make soccer bigger. We don't need football, football, football, not soccer, football to be bigger. Okay. Are you mad because you're out of the game and America's still in it?

Is that the problem here? No. That would be an issue, yeah. That's a sore spot. I don't know why you'd say that. So talking to my brother-in-law, and he runs a pretty big section of a publisher of magazines, which is obviously, I think one of them is still print, but the rest are online. And in fact, the largest magazine in the 80s and 90s when I was here was Veronica Magazine. That was the magazine of the Veronica Broadcast Corporation that I was.

was a part of where I started my career. And that magazine had over a million subscribers in the 90s. How many people do you think still subscribe digitally, digitally to the magazine? A couple hundred thousand? 90,000. And it's still one of the biggest publications here in the country. And he says, oh, man. Now, he's not a socialist.

He is very pro-Trump, conservative, which is an anomaly, which is nice. Although an anomaly for someone to be so open about it. He says, oh, man, because they also own a number of the big newspapers in the country. He says, the journalist and the management literally come to work with Palestinian flags and Kifie is. Oh, brother. He says we're lost. We're lost. But then it was interesting because he says, you know, but it's obvious that, you know, Putin's in trouble now.

I said, what? Oh, yeah. No, Putin is clearly, he's in trouble now with, you know, they're losing terrain and Ukraine is winning. I said, bro, is that what they're writing? Because I'm not so sure about that. So that was good. And then we had a great Uber driver. And so he's in a Tesla course because you can't drive a gasoline powered car in Amsterdam anymore.

It has to be electric. And we're chatting. And he's like, oh, you're from America. I'm from Texas. And this young guy, you're from Texas. Oh, yeah. Oh, you're like lots of guns. Yeah, yeah.

Tina's the first one. Oh, yeah. I like my guns. You know, okay. So he kind of set the tone. and he's like, oh, you have Tesla there? So, no, I'm not a big fan of Tesla. But it's American.

It's Elon. He said, no, I don't like it. You're right. Battery car sucks. I hate it. I suck. It sucks. We have to drive it.

And he goes on and on like this. And then he's like, okay, I want to ask you a question. Please, don't be offended. He's like a Turkish Dutchman, so he has a bit of a Turkish accent. Don't be offended. That's what you're doing. That's what you're trying to do there? I'm doing.

And believe me, I'm nailing. wondering what the hell it was. I'm nailing it. I'm glad you gave you. If he clarified that help. I needed to clarify that, yes. He says, okay, I don't want you be upset. I have a question.

Let me guess. Is this about Trump? Yes. Did you have voted for him? So, yeah, we voted for him. I'm just like, we'll just go all out. Yeah, we voted for him. We love him.

Yeah, but most Americans, if I ask them, they say, oh, I don't want to talk about it. We don't talk about who I voted for. or said, oh, that means they voted for Trump. They're afraid to say it. He says, oh, no, no. And they's like, oh, so Trump, huh? Yeah.

He's like, you know, I'm 30 years old and there's no housing. I still live with my parents. He says, I can't get a house because our government gives it to the immigrants. I understand they have a horrible country. They need a safe place to come to. They need a safe place to live. This comrade, I understand, but they get. give them house, they give them money, they give them car, they give them everything. And I'm

living with my parents. I said, well, there you go. Yes, we need someone like Trump here. Every single time. Every single time. They all think it's great. And then they're, you know, we really need someone like Trump here. So this, it's a, everyone's, uh, oppressed here. They're, they're, they are that they're beaten down. And, you know, the guys, I don't vote anymore. Why not? Because that make any difference. It says they're just there to pretend. It just says, sell me a story. But it never changes.

You vote right. You vote left. It doesn't make any difference. So it's kind of sad to see it. And I think, wow, we have such a great country. We got our problems. Unfortunately, you missed the big show. Well, I tuned into as much as possible.

Well, can I explain a little bit what happened? Yes, please. Please get in the first of all, Trump is does, is, is, a showman and this show was and he had to do the show because he had all these veterans and old men and everybody coming up there and he had to put on a spectacle by setting all kinds of records the biggest ever yeah 375,000 until they got struck by lightning and had to move out is this is on the mall right not the yeah and then they came back most people came back and there still was a big audience but what was interesting was was Trump's speech was pretty good

It wasn't funny, really, but it was, it was, it was, it was, it was a good speech. But it was this show. And it was the 850,000, 851,000 shells circling the whole place that went on for 38 minutes. And then lightning came, or thunder came back and started raining and it washed the crap out of the air, which was an interesting phenomenon. But it was this band, this guy, and no one credited him, I'll tell you who it, it was Colonel Scott McKinsey, who heads up to Army Band. They put together a, and I've looked up, tried to get the details on this, and I can't get any numbers other than 300 to 350 piece orchestra.

No way. That's fantastic. Oh, I did not see any of that. sad about that. It was a joint, it was a joint band where he picked from the best of the best, of all the best musicians and all the armed forces. Oh, it must have been great. Put this tremendous, it was essentially, just for, just for comparison's sake, a symphony orchestra like San Francisco is 105 people. Right. This was like a symphony with a thousand saxophones. Oh, awesome. And he had, he was a sax, this guy's a saxophone.

themselves. And these arrangements, they did cover songs of Chicago and Journey and all these songs, and they were just so well arranged. And you can tell it, they obviously had this segment, this orchestra, so, you know, some part of it would play a rock, a song with a lot of guitars, and then there'd be the saxophone stuff. And they had these four singers, which were all, they were dressed in military, the dumpiest, frumpiest military uniforms. I think there was three women and one bald guy. Oh, no.

And they were terrific singers. But they didn't have cool uniforms? But they would come out in uniforms. But not cool uniforms. They had frumpy uniforms. No, no. They're just to dress whites. Well, okay.

Yeah. So it was frumpy looking. Frumpy forms. It was funny. There's no Shakira, let's put it that way. It was just straight up. And it was something charming about it because you had this big military band, which you couldn't do. This is the word Trump understands the power of big government.

You can put together a 300 piece orchestra if it's government. Yeah, exactly. You can afford to do it. You can afford to do it because it doesn't cost anything, really. But you can't do that in the private sector. So he went all the way with this. And it was like, just, fabulous. And, but, you know, nobody credited this unbelievable band. But just to compare it to what we could expect, I have a couple of clips.

Okay. That might give us some insight of what was going on. First of all, the firework, to play this clip, NPR had to find some way to throw a wet blanket on things before it. Of course, it sucked. It's no good, Orange Man Bad. Now, they made it sound like it's going to be, you know, they actually were pretty. objective about it to the very end. Listen to this report. Fireworks in D.C. And just quickly, Jeff, the 4th of July in D.C. isn't complete without fireworks. I gather this one tonight will be big and then some. Yeah, this is going to be huge. 850,000 fireworks for a roughly 40-minute show, according to the Washington Post. That's absolutely massive compared to, as you know, the quite extensive fireworks D.C. has on every 4th of July. According to the Post, it could cause

air quality issues actually. Air quality was already very unhealthy and people with respiratory issues may need to stay inside or wear masks. You might not. Woo, you worked on it. Nice. So just by comparison, the San Francisco

this, yeah, it wasn't climate change, it was air pollution. So San Francisco, by comparison, they lit up the Golden Gate Bridge. It was not viable by anybody. Didn't they set it on fire? Oh, no, it was the

Brooklyn Bridge. I'm sorry. Well, the local, the local exhibit, which was a bigger show than usual, was 5,000 shells. Wow. That's a big show. Yeah. So 8151. That's crazy. That's crazy.

Yeah, again, this is Trump. Let's go, man. Merca. It did set the Guinness Book of World Records for Fireworks Display, biggest ever. Yeah. I saw all the flybys because that was in the afternoon. And flybys, yeah, it was a spectacle. The flybys were cool.

He's like, this is amazing. What is going on here? Yeah, of course I couldn't watch anything on YouTube TV because, oh, you're in a different country. I'm like, I'll get you. I'm going to turn off my GPS. I got my VPN routed through my home computer. You're in a different country. You can't watch it.

Yeah. I had to get some like C-SPAN streaming on YouTube. No YouTube TV. It was real sad. Fox had the best present. Yeah, but they don't, not all of them were streaming live on YouTube. So you had to kind of hunt around. Then you get the R.B.TV, which is that outfit that always follows Trump everywhere.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I haven't seen them for a while. You tune in and right away. So you're from California. How bad does that suck? I'm like, okay, man, this is Fourth of July. Stop with that. That was too much.

All right. So what else you got? You have fireworks on Facebook? What is that? This is an interesting, this is a local story because locally we had, since it was fogged in. And all the best fireworks displays are just some guy in his backyard. Yeah. Always, always a winner.

It's always a winner, yeah. I'm sure in Texas it'd be a little more spectacular than what we get. But they're trying to crack down with huge fines and everything in between. And so when I was a kid, we used to buy fireworks from the various Chinese grocery stores in Oakland. Or San Francisco, too. You'd go there and you'd have code words and the next thing you know the guy would bring out a bunch of stuff. Well, now it turns out that they're selling the fireworks over Facebook. And this is a local story that I thought was kind of interesting.

It's almost the 4th of July. And though fireworks are illegal in the vast majority of the Bay Area, you've probably already heard or seen some in your neighborhood. So where are all those fireworks coming from? Reporter Darwin Bond Graham with the Oakland side looked into it and he joins me now for more. So you start your story that was published this week with an example of a recent Oakland police raid that found a bunch of illegal fireworks. Tell us about what happened there and how that connects.

to the trends you're finding and you're reporting. Yeah, this was a case of a person who was dealing a large quantity of fireworks out of their home in East Oakland. They were advertising them over social media, and that's how the police kind of caught on to this. When they ended up conducting a search warrant at this person's house, they found over 2,000 pounds of fireworks in the backyard, a very large quantity for a residential neighborhood. It sounds like social media has made it even easier for fireworks. sellers to find buyers. Is there any way for police to keep up of those ads?

Yeah, that's right. It's like the main way that a lot of the sellers appear to be marketing these products is over Facebook and Instagram and other social media. They post these kind of cryptic pictures of fireworks and then they get into these DMs with people who want to buy them and then they'll, you know, meet people in a parking lot or have them come to their house or, you know, somewhere else to sell them. The police are actively scanning social media. So there's a lot of sheriff's deputies and officers from different police departments who are looking on Instagram and kind of lurking around and seeing what they can find.

And that's how they're getting a lot of their leads here to figure out who these people are. Of course. Yeah, right. They're doom scrolling. And this is what their excuse is. I'm looking for illegal activity. Yeah, I found something. Oh, yeah.

Well, there were, um, actually, I caught this. I got some clips from Ms. Now, who really, they should just shut that operation down. It's getting worse. Douglas Brinkley, he's a historian, I think, isn't he Brinkley? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, so he noticed, huh, you need to be a historian, that there were really two different Americas and two different speeches from two different luminaries this Fourth of July. Well, there were two very different speeches.

Both were playing with the idea of. of American exceptionalism. Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore was talking about we're exceptional. And now we've got to drive the communists out of the country, basically restoking a red scare, something that kind of speech Joe McCarthy would have easily given. When Dami is reflecting back on... A question.

Did McCarthy really give big speeches about the commies, or was he just the guy who had the commission that was going after him? Did he do big speeches about it? He was front and center to diatribs, let's put it that way. I wouldn't call him big speeches. Okay. Ellis Island and the tradition in New York of becoming a naturalized citizen, he's born in Uganda. When asked, he says, I can't have presidential ambitions.

The Constitution says I can't because I was born in Uganda. And here it is July 4th, Alexander Hamilton, one of the greats of the Revolution war era had the same issue. He served his country in every way possible to George Washington. And as we know, his role in the Constitution and the Federalist Papers and the like, but he could never run for president. But they're a naturalized citizen. Mandami was talking about. And it reminds us that we keep refreshing ourselves in this country, having new waves of immigrants. And that is the American dream. And that is what makes America exceptional. There was a lot of this refreshing talk everywhere.

So I kind of like what he did here. Trump is like McCarthy and Mondami is like Hamilton. I mean, it's so obvious. Yeah. In fact, I have the Mondami clips. I have him. Do you have this one? Well, let me do Trump first.

These are relatively short. This is from the mall. At 250 years, America is the oldest republic on earth. I'm sorry, this is from Mount Rushmore. the freest people on earth. Yeah, by the way, just since you didn't hear both of them. I did. I have the other ones, too. Oh, okay. The other one I thought was a little more, it was a little less disorganized.

I thought he was okay here. I mean, it was, yeah, it was okay. It was righteous and enduring constitution on earth. We are the strongest and most powerful country on earth. And by the grace of God, the United States of America, the most successful, most accomplished, most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history. And it is great to be your president. It is great. And then this is the communist trope. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America.

You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, who tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen.

Not going to do it. I'll do two more from the mall, and then you'll play them on Dami. This country is the home of freedom. This is the land of liberty. And this is a flag that's the banner of the most extraordinary, most exceptional, most incredible nation ever to exist on the face of the earth. And we're doing better now than we've ever done before. No people have done more good, shown more courage, made more progress, righted more injustice, or achieved more greatness than you, the American people. for 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world.

All over the world, they try and be like us. Nobody can be like us. He's a rebel rouser. We have thrived and flourished because our founders were great. Our cause was just. Our people are brave. Our culture is exceptional. And our destiny is written by God. And as we can see here tonight, after 250 years, the spirit of 1776 still lives within us all. It still roars in the hearts of our nation's capital.

It still burns in the heart of every patriot, thunders through every city and town, and it still lights the entire world with the glow of American liberty. And there is nothing like that. at 250 years old, we may be the oldest constitutional republic on earth, but our country is just getting started because the best is yet to come. There you go. And it's kind of, you know, when you hear like, we're the oldest, we've done this. And I look at the cobblestones on the streets here in Amsterdam.

Some of them are older than America. It's unbelievable. We're not a very old country. 250 years is pretty good. Yeah, just getting started. The Roman Empire went for a lot. A lot. There you go, John.

We're just getting started. The best is yet to come. In fact, well, not to just jump the gun on this, but it has led, I mean, all these 250 years of American exceptionalism, American exceptionalism. It has led, thanks to the education system, to this clip, which is the whatever girls nine. What country did the United States gain its independence? This is not fair. Europe. Who was the first president of the USA?

Oh, oh, uh, uh, uh, he had a top hat. Yeah. They always say Lincoln. What's his name? What's his name? Abraham Lincoln? Okay. What do you think?

Yeah. Lincoln. I think it's Lincoln, too. They go in that top hat. Lincoln? What country is the great wall? Wall of China in. Tokyo?

What language did the people in Idaho speak? Potato. How many years are in a decade, Gemma? 12. How many are in a century? 500. What is the closest star to Earth? Okay, relax, Fido.

What the fuck? The North Star. The sun. Oh, the Sun. No. The lone star. What country is the Panama? Canalan.

Yeah, Portugal. Okay. You're not allowed to do this. You are jumping the gun. You're like making us not bad. You know, the funny thing is that one girl answered, what's the closest star? She says the son, which is.

It is true. It's correct. And two or three of the other girls mocked her for being an idiot. Well, this is part of the genius of America. That even if you have clearly only four or five

functioning brain cells, you can still make a living on only fans. So we're a great country. What are you complaining about? This is great news. Yeah, I'm not complaining. I think this is great. I agree with you 100%. Okay, all right.

Okay, let's get back to the topic. We have a jobs program for everybody here. We have, you have a Mondami clip? I have a couple. On Mondani? Yeah, I have a couple of. A couple of just shorties that I pulled out. Well, let's play mine first.

Okay. It may set the stage. All right. Hey, guys, it's your mayor. Call me Mamdan. Since we're communists and we don't have electricity for everyone, except for ourselves, we would really appreciate it if you can go ahead and set your AC to a special mode called off mode. Also, it would be great if you could also stop eating because we don't have food for everyone.

So if you're fat, please eat once every other day. If you're kind of fat, you can eat once a day. And if you're skinny, you're probably white so you don't get to eat anything. If you have any pets, please bring them into City Hall so we can feed our Haitian immigrants. Well, I'm off to enjoy Taylor Swift's wedding. So later comments. Programmatically, I think you made a mistake by playing two nutball clips back to back. It's okay.

I know it's like one comic following another. Programmatically, I wouldn't have advised that. But some of the real clips from his 4th of July speech. That wasn't real? We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else. The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon.

But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, that work endures. And it belongs to us all. It belongs, too, to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel, the joy of no longer being just, a New Yorker, but an American too. Okay, so he starts off reasonably okay. You each hold a special power. Well, hold on.

Reasonably okay, he's stiff? This is the worst speech he could have done. He was not relaxed. He was behind the George Washington desk, I guess. Oh, really? No. And he has a bunch of stiff standing around him that don't look like they're very comfortable

or know what the hell they're even doing there. It was terrible. No, it wasn't great. It wasn't very energetic, but, you know, he only got a little commie later. You each hold a special power, the power to determine what America means. See, this is, this isn't like, what do you mean? What are we going? Where are we going with this? The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy. Aha, the powerful supremacy, whitey. Where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal.

I mean, this is going downhill pretty quick. America, if you ask that... It deteriorates very fast. Yeah, gee, man, come on. White supremacy, we were not created equal. Yeah, there you go. America, if you ask them, becomes less, the more people it welcomes. What is...

Where does he get this from? America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us... Nobody says this. But this is, this is what he's doing. This is, I found this to be quite an American, actually. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

You're small and weak, all right? And unoriginal. Unoriginal. What do we see? We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world. one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire

hungers for more. Swipe at Elon. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see mass agents terrorizing our... Oligarch. Yeah, oh no, oligarchs.

No, listen, this... The oligarch thing was every consultant on the Democrat side said, don't do that. Tells them to stop using that word. It doesn't mean anything. and nobody knows what the hell you're talking about. I think it's oil. They really don't know.

We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. Yeah, who dominates podcasting? We see mass agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors, before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. This is the one I thought was the best. That was funny. So the agents... So you go, hey, can you cook me something before I take you away?

We see a nation who's immense, wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt street hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone. And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious view. Again, with this soft hands, because they don't work so this, you know, just soft hands, like a podcaster's soft hands. All right, last one. There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain. Love it or leave it, they say. But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent.

It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time. It is precisely because we love this nation that we will not leave it. After all, who loves America more than those who have sacrificed so much to make it free? Well, so fine. But there was a lot of this talk everywhere of, you know, it's our turn now. We're going to change it, which is very much the

the DSA way, the Marxist way, you know, like whatever the candidate now in New York. Like, we're going to get rid of the presidency. We'll just have a, like, a steering committee. All these other things. Exactly. This is Sherilyn Eiffel, who is Gwen.

We love Gwen Eiffel. In hindsight, we never gave her enough props. Because once she left, was it PBS? Yeah, it was a news hour. Yeah, news hour. Once she left, Newshour just fell apart. It turns out she was the one holding it together.

Yeah, you don't know until somebody, one cog leaves, the next thing you know, the place falls apart you didn't know at the time. When we say leave, she died. So this is her niece. And listen to this. And so I remind people that we were founded a second time. We will need to be founded a third time.

And it's on us. And that's the exciting part. We get to be the founders and the framers of the new iteration of American democracy. What? If we're willing to do it. There's nothing that stops us from doing it. And so that's the opportunity of this moment. We hit 250 and then we needed to restart again.

And so that's the work that is before us. Cheryl and Eiffel is the former president of the Legal Defense Fund. Now at Howard University Law School. Yeah, we need more lawyers like that. So I remember, now I have, I was young, of course, 1976, so I was 12 years old. I remember our bicentennial. I have only fond memories of it. And I found a video of man on the street being asked.

Oh, yes, this is good. Yeah. And so I split it up into two parts and we don't have to play the positive. but the negative one, so this is just all the people, it sounds the same. Our negativity that we have elements of severe negativity in America, they have the same complaints. Yeah, and I should remind people that this was, 1976, which I recall, we were there. I was in the middle of working for the air pollution district. There was the, it was just Watergate was wrapping up and Nixon was a terrible person.

we're ready to go into the Jimmy Carter era. We're right in the middle of what was the equivalent of the Great Depression of the 30s with interest rates at 20 percent. Yeah. Yeah. And unemployment super high. That's when the idea of stagflation was peaking right about the time of the bicentennial. Funny enough.

So it was not a good time. And didn't we just have the energy crisis, too? Exactly. Yeah. The energy crisis just wrapped. OPEC was now, you know, telling everybody what to do. Right. Yeah, it was not, the timing was, it was a, to me, I'm surprised anyone had anything good to say.

Nixon had taken all our gold. The dollar was in a free-floating currency that happened a few years earlier. Funny enough, in this archival footage, people weren't really. complaining about that too much. They had, you know, the same typical complaints. Right now we don't have a great deal to celebrate. I feel that it might leave a lot of people out. For me, it doesn't have any real significant meaning. I mean, what's the difference between 199 years or 201 years? I don't really have any particular feel about 200 years. Somehow I feel that it's like a big fad. You know, the bicentennial's been kind of a dirty word here in

Philadelphia and throughout the country, I think. In many ways, the bicentennial is just being fabricated. This country is faced with so many problems. I just can't stand aside and say, hip, hip, hooray for the bicentennial. Well, after Watergate, the morale of the country's low. I'm concerned that the bicentennial is still saying things that were okay, 10, 15, 20 years ago, but I don't know if they're okay now. at this point in this day

I really don't see any advantage of the bicentennial at the time of the bicentennial we still have you know 8% unemployment 8% John 8% we have what is it 3.4% right now unemployment round 4 according to the numbers those numbers may have changed I can't see any reason

to go around patting ourselves in the back for having just survived two centuries There's a lot of divisions here in the United States. Used to be called a melting fight. I don't know what's happening here. You know, maybe the compounds are beginning to separate again, and the people of the United States are diverting again. We're endorsing the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1976,

but you know, an Associated Press has done a study in Miami where they gave out the Declaration of Independence and didn't say what it was and asked people if they would endorse it. Only one person out of 50 on a Miami Street corner, or who would endorse the declaration. You know what they said? They wouldn't endorse it? This is commie junk, the work of a raver. I'm going to tell the FBI about this kind of stuff.

See, you're whatever girls have no hold, no lock on idiocy. We've always been dumb. So these are the kinds of problems that we face. We have strayed so far from the original conception of what patriotism and love of country is that we now believe that everything that this country stood for is subversive. No one wears American football. flag lapel pins anymore. People have lost faith. People don't know what patriotism is anymore.

I think maybe the best thing for this country is in 1975 being international women's year, even more than 1976 being bicentennial, you know, because I think maybe women should have a larger saying, really what happens in this world, our basic loving tendencies, you know, rather than let's beat each other's heads in to get what we want. You know, let's love each other, let's not kill each other. I think we've done already enough, enough buildings and enough covering the earth with concrete. Is your climate change, dude? And destroyed enough in nature already that maybe progress is regress. I'd like to see the bicentennial deal with the kind of future I think we're going to have, and I think it's going to be a sort of troubled future. We are not necessarily the greatest

people that ever existed on this world. We've got we were. We've broken down. We have to rebuild. No, we're going to rebuild on the basis of adversity, whether you like it or not. Are we going to have more and more of everything? No, for a long period now, we're going to have less and less of everything. Yeah, well, of course, the opposite is true. We had the 80s, the 90s, and then we ran into trouble again.

It's a cycle. Yeah, the 90s were really prosperous. But I don't hear anything really different from the complaints we get today. You know, it's the same. So we grouse a bit. And maybe it's just the media. We grouse a bit. The media picks the same people.

That's my ultimate conclusion. The media picks the same people. Although NPR really tried that, listen, boss, I got an idea. We'll do a segment and we'll have people record their answers on the cell phone and send it in and we'll air it all the way. Both. Just as contrast, because I know what you're going to play, because I saw that or heard it too. But Bill Hammer was at the fireworks display, and afterwards as people were streaming out, they were doing a live feed.

And this was just people leaving. And he would just go up to live feed, person after person after person after person. And if you took all that stuff and put it together, it was nothing but positive. In fact, it was ridiculously positive. And so your point about it, and I think this is true, and I think we both, everybody suffers from it if you're in the media. Yeah, you know, when you go out there's, the positive stuff's not that interesting. Yeah.

It's just a bunch of people saying this was great. I love Trump. Can't have that. Stop that immediately. Stop that. The Fox people are probably even, oh, We've got to do some negativity here. So they asked swing voters if they were proud of their imperfect America.

And now more. Oh, man, I'm so sorry. I screwed up my, screwed up my. Suffer and succotash. I'm Scott. I screwed up my own jingle. Simon. And now more voices of our fellow Americans.

NPR has undertaken a project that we call Swing Shift. It follows a dozen voters in swing states. and Pyr Senior Political correspondent Tamara Keith checking in with them periodically on gas prices. Their opinion on how the president's doing and today on how they feel about America on its 250th birthday. Hello, Tamara. This is John from Pennsylvania. I sent John and the other swing shift voters a list of questions about America 250 years in. And they sent back thoughtful answers, recorded on their phones. The question is, are you proud to be in America?

why or why not? The answer is, yes, I am proud to be an American. It's a very imperfect country. There's a lot that still needs to be worked on, a lot that still needs to be done. And still, he's proud. They all are, with varying levels of nuance. Yes, I am and always have been proud to be an American. I would still say yes here, but with some slight embarrassment. I'm proud to be an American. This is the greatest country on the planet Earth. We live in the best country in the world. You know, we have democracy. We have freedom.

I do have some pride to be an American. However, I also have a lot of shame. I wouldn't be proud to be American. I mean, we live in one of the best countries in the world. That was Jason, Wally, Gerald, Teresa, Evan, and Lee. NPR agreed not to use their full name so they can speak freely about politics in these polarized times. And I think that that is a clue that they give us there.

The minute you let people speak anonymously, then the truth comes out. Yeah, I'm proud to be America. It's a pretty good country. It's all right. Oh, it's a little bit of shame. But in general, it sounds like people are optimistic. And I'm quite sure if she had at least one besides the guy said, I feel some shame, she would have put it in the report.

She just didn't have it. So that was quite telling to me. You said you experienced this kind of in an offhanded way in Holland when the driver asked people who they voted for and they wouldn't say and you said they voted for Trump. Yeah. But they, which is probably true, but they wouldn't say it because it wasn't anonymous. Exactly. And the driver was interesting. He's like, I love it here because we just say who we voted for.

I think we're pretty clear in America too. I think what I feel is that Americans come over and first of all, why are they over here, they're here for business or they hear, you know, to run away from evil orange man and they just don't want to say it. I don't know. It's a, but media-wise in the United States, the minute it's anonymous, then the truth comes out. She had a second piece here. The final question I asked was for one word or phrase that explains how they feel about America's future. These swing voters are uncertain, concerned, hopeful, worried, excited, and cautiously optimistic.

And then there's Lee, who has a new job, and his optimism is unqualified. I think we're going to have a good... What? Hold on a second. His optimism is unqualified? Well, technically what she's saying is that everybody else had qualified optimism, which means that you... Yeah, I'm optimistic. but. He who has a new job and his optimism is unqualified. I think we're going to have a good future because why wouldn't we?

I don't know. I think she's just saying, that guy's an idiot. It can't be right. Well, he sounds like one. That can't be right. So then we switch over to Ms. Now and we have, let's see, Representative Hoffman. and of course MS now was all over the setup to the House being taken over by Democrats for the impeachment of Trump. Yeah, a lot of this is in the jurisdiction of the Natural Resources Committee.

And so our oversight and investigation team has undertaken a year-long investigation that really I think should upset every American because our country only turns 250 years old once. We were on track for a broadly unifying national celebration with serious folks like the Smithsonian leading the programming. Yon. Yon. This set up this commission. Yeah, compare that with Trump to showman. Oh, the Smithsonian is going to be. Can you imagine?

Yeah, slavery. Horrible. Yon. With serious folks like the Smithsonian leading the programming, Congress set up this commission. mission to be insulated from politics to really be above politics. And it was going to be a lot like... Hold on. I think that fireworks are above politics.

Yeah. A band playing a bunch of hot songs with a big sax section is above politics. He's actually leading into something which is a topic you brought to our attention several weeks ago. And it was going to be a lot like what many of us experienced in 1976. something that we could all feel good about our government leading instead. Not everybody. You already proven that wrong.

Not everybody. Donald Trump hijacked it made it all about himself and his vanity projects, his political agenda, and all of these endless schemes to enrich himself and his cronies. Enriched it. So with America, with Freedom 250, he enriched himself and all of his cronies. Yes, this is a scandal. Congressman, it's Sam Stein here. The report that you put out today really looks at whether money was misdirected and if donors were misinformed about where their money was going, assuming they were giving to the congressionally mandated committee and then it turns that they were giving to the Trump-related committee. This is sort of a reoccurring pattern. I know you've been focused on the triumphal arch that he's trying to build out in Virginia. But we just don't know the sources of the money, how he's spending the money, where the money's going, and who it's going to in a lot of these cases.

Can you speak in broad strokes about what you know as someone who does have jurisdiction over this and what you would like to find out? Yeah, this report pulls back the veil on how they hid a lot of this from public scrutiny. And they started out with an attempt to take over that bipartisan commission that Congress created. When that failed, they went to Plan B, which is this elaborate mechanization. where they set up a shadow company, Freedom 250 LLC. They housed it within a beloved charity, the National Park Foundation, over at the Department of Interior. And they did it in a way that all of their fundraising and other activities would be insulated from public view.

And so they started shaking down and misleading donors, soliciting foreign contributions. They siphoned off the resources of the bipartisan commission that Congress, authorized, and they did it all in this veil of secrecy through Freedom 250. So this is the organization that that Silicon Valley guy, the Indian guy, put together, Rake something or other was his name? Yeah, I don't recall his name. So all of this secrecy, he fleece the donors. I looked it up, it's public.

I read the documents, ma'am. and it's Raytheon, it's north of Grumman, it's all the military industrial complex. Yes, the usual suspects. Coca-Cola. I mean, it's not, they didn't fleece any donors. They said, hey, Trump went over and said, hey, listen, you like these contracts, you know, chip in, man, make America look good. Pay something for the, for the mall. Oh, no, this is, he just enriched himself and his cronies.

Yeah, Coca-Cola. His cronies. He drinks a lot of nice. The coronis are Raytheon. How's the money coming from Raytheon to win? Well, I guess it does enrich them because they get a contract somewhere down the road that they would have gotten anyway. Who else are going to contract some of these Patriot missile banks to? They're the only ones who make them.

Which we sold the Dutch 700 of them, as an aside. Oh, Raytheon's good for them. They bought 700. I think it was Patriots to give to Ukraine, literally. To give to Ukraine. And you know how you pay for it? With a freedom tax. There's a new freedom tax in Holland. Because we're protecting your freedom.

So wait a minute. Let me get this straight. The Dutch people have been suckered into paying a freedom tax to give our company, Raytheon, money to buy missiles that they would then give away to Ukraine. Yes. And then they tell the media, Putin's in trouble. it's working people is for your freedom tax money is working wow but this is so this talk though is all part of the sale of that deal there's something but we guys are terrific it's our guy it's he's done his job you

trimp you're the trillion dollar trump you did it again man is great so tie cobb who used to be a white house lawyer uh he's now grabbing the bull by the horns because we have to set everything up because we're going to have your thesis and you probably won't be wrong but I still took the other side of the bet because there's two of us if the Democrats take the house in the midterms they will

immediately move to impeach the president and this is what they are hammering is enrichment of his cronies himself and he's clearly crooked. I front now Ty Cobby is a former Trump White House lawyer. Ty, pretty interesting there when you look at that chart and how much Trump has made and how much everyone else has lost. What is your reaction to the scale of what we're seeing in the...

What? How much Trump has made and how much everyone else has lost? This is the best part. Who lost what? Well, so they show the chart of the meme coin, of the Trump coin, which, you know, it's exactly what it is. You sell, you make a million of these Trump coins or however many they made. ICO. Everyone knows how it works. There's tens of thousands of them. And you sell them. Everybody buys them and the price goes up. And then he, you know, he dumps all of the insider stuff that they have,

which is another 10 million. And then you put that in your pocket. And then the market goes down. And then everyone else lost and you won. That is exactly. Oh, they lost. I see. Exactly how it's been working for, you know, for a decade almost. This disclosure of how much Trump is earning from these crypto ventures over a billion dollars last year, This isn't a cumulative number. It's in one year an industry is actively promoted and supported and done policy, executive orders related to. Is it legal? I don't believe so. Certainly, I don't think it was contemplated by the founders when they created the annoyments clause. I do think that one of the line items, of course, is the commemorative coins, you know, several hundred million dollars of income related

to those coins. How can that be anything other than that? then trading on his image and likeness. Yes, the image and likeness he's built up for, for, what, 40 years? Yeah, and I think this all launched before he became president. Closer to 60 years. Well, yeah, yeah. In violation of the emoluments clause. It's in violation of the emoluments clause.

Is that in violation of the emoluments clause? The emoluments clause has to do with foreign gifts. Is gifts, yeah, but okay. With regard to the crypto, obviously that's, you know, a. It's a slimy industry. Siaming. You know, certainly the way he's going around it, where he creates policies that can only enrich himself and his family. Bull, crap.

Congress is making laws about that. The president isn't making laws about crypto. It's something that I think the average American should be staggered by. But you mentioned the scale. And I think the scale here is just, it's intentional. There's no question. I mean, we are seeing the greatest onslaught of corrupt. in the history of mankind in the last 18 months.

Mankind. So this is what they're going to do. They're going to take, you know, they're going to say crypto, crypto, which will confuse everybody. And they're going to make it very confusing. Well, what is crypto? And what did he have? And is crypto this?

Is crypto that? And they're going to go on. Because it's a good one. Because not a lot of people understand it. Millions do, but certainly not most. and many people have enriched themselves with crypto of all sorts. But they're going to use this over and over again, and the hearings will go on forever.

They'll be explaining crypto. And Trump did an interview with CNBC. He did a sit down with the guy we like, the one guy we like Joe Kernan. And here's the two clips about these accusations. Now, many people argue business experience is needed in government. And we've seen the stock market in the first term and the second term,

I think it's been rewarded to have a businessman in there. So I think we shouldn't be surprised that your businesses are doing well. But how would you counter critics that say you're using the presidency to enrich yourself and your family? Well, in a lot of ways, if you think about it, the stock has got up so much.

The stock market today, it's up 500 points. It's up to almost 53,000. You know, I watched your show, and you had somebody on one of your brilliant analysts, and they said if I had won the election, they said if President Trump could get the stock market to anywhere near 50,000, that would be an unbelievable achievement,

and that was over four years. In other words, at the end of his term, four years, if he could get anywhere near 50,000, that would be, well, it's at 53,000. It's just a couple of points short of 53,000 right now, and that's essentially everything. after a little bit more than a year. Now, I kind of disagree with this because I believe that when you devalue the dollar

with printing money in essence, and we've done a lot of that, doesn't the stock market automatically have to go up? Is that number kind of irrelevant? I mean, you can't say, well, this is in $1984, which would be this much today. Don't you have to say the same thing about the stock market? with 53 might be, you know, 35 in 1984? I think you can make that argument. I don't think it's valid.

Oh, okay. All right. They continue. Do you worry that if they take, if the Democrats were to win the House, that there's going to be endless investigations of you and your administration based on. Well, you know, I don't do anything having to do with my business. My kids run it.

I put a lot of money, I had a lot of money, and I have a lot of money in it. I've made money. I'm a business person. I'm a really good business person. I've made money. I've made a tremendous amount of money more than I would have ever thought I would have made. And I let people invest it. I don't even speak to it.

I don't even know who they are. But it's given to big firms that are on your show all the time. My son, Eric handles it. I don't talk to them about things such as this. I think I'd be allowed to. I'm not sure even what the status is, but I don't. And he gives it into these like semi-blind trusts or blind trust where people invest. There was a story today about Jensen Wing, who's fantastic.

Dividea and that I have some stock. I think it's very small. I think it's one of many companies that one of the big Wall Street firms invest. And so they said, oh, Trump has some stock in there. But I don't care about that. You know why I don't care? because I have a much bigger purpose. You know, this is the Oval Office.

It's a much bigger purpose than whether or not I make money. Anyway, that will be the, that will be it. That will be, there will be fighting for years and years to impeach him and get him out again. And on the other side, we have really this socialism thing is quite interesting and somewhat alarming, I would say, because you see the, the, I really didn't even believe it myself,

but I see this, what they call the red green alliance happening more and more. So it's the red for the communists and green for Muslim. Yeah. And that, I'm thinking there's something to that now. Here's what Kamala Harris is doing. It's like, oh, you know, that Mondami guy, he's got both. He's got, he's a commie and he's a Muslim. Oh, I should go talk to him.

An interesting school. Perfect. In Axios, Kamala Harris, reached out to Zohanam Dani, New York City Mayor, and significantly pro-Palestinian activists to talk about things. Things. What's that about? Look, I'm not surprised by it. I mean, Cass and I talked about this for the last couple months.

I mean, this was a big piece of Kamala Harris's sort of downfall in 2024. She just could not wrap her head around talking, communicating with this wing of the Democratic Party. And how a grief felt. And how a grief they felt. And we've seen recently with the DSA emerging as something that's like a, like, You better pay attention. You better pay attention. And so I think she's doing her politics correctly.

And obviously, Mayor Mandani is the sort of mirror of the moment. So she's doing the right thing, but she's recognizing that she's got to ameliorate this before the next election. Which means, I'm asking you, is this a tell? Is this the strongest tell of all that she's running? I think she's doing everything she can right now to put herself in position to run again. I think it's very likely, but there's still some consideration that she may not. Because the first tell is when she didn't run for governing.

Right, exactly. Exactly. she wants to keep black voters as close as possible as well. Cassie? Yeah, I think it's interesting that so many sort of hedged around whether or not they support Memdami ahead of his election. And now you have, Kamala Harris remains the favorite in the odds, the betting market right now. And she's calling him.

What I do think is interesting from a Republican perspective is Mandami espouses so many of the things that when Kamala Harris talked about them in 2024, voters ran away from that. So it's interesting that instead of saying, what are the lessons we learned from 2024? Talk about the DNC autopsy. She's doubling down. She's embracing. She's seeing that this is the future base of the Democrat Party. And as we know, you can't win if you can't turn out your base.

Maybe you need to combine the commie and Muslim and call them mommies or mummies? No. Okay. But it's so bad that even Federman, who... Oh, yeah, Federman hates this. He's such an interesting dude. You had the representative who won the primary in New York. Yeah, Chevalier is the one they're talking about.

Dorealise Avelia Chavez-A is one of several far-left candidates who have shocked the Democratic establishment, this current political cycle. Their success raising questions about the future of the party as they see, as they say, rather, that their movement continues to grow. Solidarity is the force that we need to vanquish Trump's fascism to abolish ice and to stand up to the billionaires who are rigging our economy. Can a democratic socialist get elected president? I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position. We want to demonstrate that this is not some fluke. This is about an entire movement of working class people who know that we can demand so much more. Now, John Federman, Democratic Center from Pennsylvania.

Sir, good to have you back. and good morning to you. I want to motor through a couple of topics, and this is the first one. You said the other day that there's a significant part of our party that's being taken over with these extreme views. Now, others are saying it's just a few here and a few there. You said significant. Explain that. Well, I think your colleague, Chad, just pointed out, I just put out a tweet yesterday. I mean, she was praising Kim and Stalin. I mean, between those two men, you know, 100 million, you know, people murdered, you know, like some of the most evil and terrible people, you know, in the world are in history. And she was praising them, saying we don't have enough of their books, you know, in our libraries. And of course, she deleted those things.

But this is not ancient history. This is all recent views that people like this, we are electing. And on this network, I've described that. I think it was with Jesse. I said, you know, our party's becoming an orgy of socialism, and I think I've been vindicated with to see the way these elections are working out. Yeah, it's kind of concerning. You know, of course, you know, I think the whole thing's an op, but that's just me.

I think I think it isn't. It's not just you. I think it is an op. Let's play my favorite one, though, the person in Colorado. Yes. This Joker in Colorado is really, takes it over the top. The ideological battle within the Democratic Party on full display yet again.

Democratic Socialist candidate Ose, another sitting Democrat in Congress. Antony's Molina Weiskop has key takeaways from Colorado's primary elections. Longtime Democrat congresswoman Diana DeGette from Colorado is the latest target from the far left of the Democratic Party. Yesterday, the congresswoman who's served here in the House for the past 29 years lost her seat to the Democratic Socialist candidate, Malot Kiros. Kyrus previously commented that the massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7th was the inevitable consequence of apartheid. House Republicans this week warning about the dangerous rhetoric from far-left candidates like her. We've watched members of their coalitions say Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East, doesn't have the right to exist. Kyrrhus' win is the latest in a string of victories for the Democratic Socialist Movement in America that's led to the ousting of several Democratic-embrance.

here in Congress over the past few weeks. House Minority Leader and Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries, when asked about this trend, told reporters this. Ultimately, it'll be in the hands of the people of Denver, but the reality is we have an unsettled electoral environment. Another progressive candidate state representative, Manny Ruttle in Colorado's 8th District,

won the Democratic primary, nudging past a moderate state lawmaker. Ruttenel will now face Republican incumbent Congressman Gabe Evans in November. The results tonight could not be more clear. Out of touch, far-left Democrats just nominated the most radical socialist Colorado has ever seen. Ban oil and gas. Ban natural gas stoves. This is one of the most purple districts in the nation, and Democrats are eyeing it as a pickup opportunity for November. House Speaker Mike Johnson telling reporters on Tuesday that the contrast for voters couldn't be more clear.

Now, I've been thinking about this, particularly speaking to my brother-in-law here. and so two of my nephews. One is a socialist and one is completely right-wing, voted for shared builders, et cetera. And they're two different countries, but the same basic ideas. They both agree on one thing, Israel committed genocide. And if this truly is an op from CIA, which, you know, there's plenty of evidence to go around that they have managed. elections and who runs our country for a long time. That would be the perfect one.

You just want to get the people who are against Israel to talk together. And it's all going to be young people, which is the weakness of the plan, because young people don't typically vote as much as older people. But I can see where you get these anti-Israel slash Muslim pro like Mandami types together with the Marxists. and free stuff, and I can see how they would have molded that. Does that fit into your thesis? Well, yeah, in some ways, and I think a lot of it is to get people to reveal themselves. In other words, you set up shop, make it look normal, and then see who jumps in. And I have this clip from Rance Prebus.

He was asked about this, the whole Democrat Socialist stuff, and he was blathering on Hannity. and this is Previs going on and on. I think he, of all people... Who was Prebis again? Ransprevus is the original a guy who ran the original Trump office. He was the chief of staff. Oh, right, right, right.

For Trump in 2016. Right. He's a wimpy-looking guy and he was put in by somebody else, but he's kind of come around, but... Put him by the CIA, maybe? No, I don't think so, because I don't think he's read in,

unless even this is being part of the plan, But what he says is to me, after he's done, I'll tell you what he's missing. Well, I don't know if we're teaching people anymore like we used to. I mean, you have Muslim countries from the west coast of Africa all the way through the Middle East, all the way through Asia, basically. And you have this little tiny spot, Israel on the map, and they've been persecuted for, decades and decades and centuries for that matter. I mean, there's no doubt about it. But the point here, it's very clear. It's a leadership problem. It's not a messaging problem. I mean, you have a Democrat Party. You have Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer, Ken Martin, all of you all out there in the

Democrat Party. They're not calling it out. This stuff needs to be isolated and rejected. If the entire Democrat leadership called out these kind of comments, this gal from Colorado, She was called October 7th inevitable. She called 9-11 inevitable. Every party leader in the Democrat Party should have called her out. Every state party, local party, county party. If everyone did that and ostracized this person for these crazy comments, she wouldn't be elected, but they're not willing to do it.

They have a leadership problem. Here's another question. Tell me what, if you're into DNC right now, which swing state in 2028 do you want one of these DSA, lunatic communist campaigning. To John Assef and Roy Cooper, which one of these DSA candidates you want running around in North Carolina and Georgia this fall

campaigning? The answer is none of them. So there was this... Well, let me say something. When he says that they won't call them out, I think he might be missing the point of that there's been this underlying current, even since

I was in college, within the Democrat Party that's extremely socialist. And it's starting to emerge after all these years. And it's a sincere movement. It's bad for the country and bad for everybody. But it's been bubbling underneath the surface. And the reason that the leadership doesn't make a point of calling it out is because in some ways they want it.

They love it. They want it. They want it. The Democrats want, because Bernie Sanders has been harping on this for year after year after year. We need to go more left. So he keeps wanting to, you know, he and Robert Reich, who was, actually we saw him on the street. He lives in Berkeley. Robert Reich came out and if you look at this, he's got a podcast or something.

Did you yell at him? Did you yell at him? No, if I had seen him sooner. he has a podcast where he's the same thing. On substack. The Democrats should not move toward the middle. They should move further left. And so it's undercurrent.

They've decided, okay, we're going to try it. Let's see what happens. And I think they're sincere about it. So there was this guy. And they're being encouraged by the op. Yes. And I think the op is bigger than just the Democrats. But it will behoove the Democrats, Democratic,

Democratic Party. There was this guy, Jeremy Boring, who is actually, he lives up to his name. There's a term for that when someone, someone's personality

is like their name? Yeah, there is a term. I forget what it is. He's kind of boring. He was the co-founder of the Daily Wire with Shapiro, and he has a podcast, of course. The Jeremy Boring show.

And he had this guy on Burmawi, a Muslim who left Islam and converted to Christianity. And there's a whole hour about this. Most of it was not that interesting. But I have two clips that I thought kind of fit in with this exact conversation about the Red Green Alliance. Now, Islam fits that narrative. Because Islam is non-Western, non-white,

colonized, non-Christian. So it checks all the boxes. And Islam by nature is anti-West. So the alliance, they became just, you know, naturally, like

a couple who are in love, even though they don't agree on almost anything else. they agree on the enemy. The Marxists, they want to take down the system because they want to build their utopia. Islam wants to take down the system because it wants to replace it with the caliphate, with the rule of Allah. So both groups are saying, well, let's work together. And let's kick the can down the road.

And we will figure out who's going to establish what later. For now, let's take down the system. I think that's spot on. And, of course, the communists always forget that once the combined group has the power, the Muslims will kill them. They're the first to kill them first. Yeah, that would be the way you'd go. The communists don't think, I don't know what they're thinking.

I'm not a communist, so I can't figure it. And, I mean, it's the whole idea of queers for Palestine. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It summarizes everything. But now you see that you have a Tucker Carlson who is saying Islam isn't that bad. These Muslim countries are pretty good. Love cutter.

Love cutter. I have a house there. You know, Israel is horrible. Israel is responsible for all of our problems. And so you're bringing in, you know, you're bringing in. another group that are kind of coming together and eventually will wind up voting for these Democrat candidates. Or it's possible, not all of them, but I think I think you're right. The Democrat Party sees the power, sees the movement, and they're like, well, we don't have much else. And we can still

throw our LGBTQ in there because they're all for it. It's a, it's an interesting game to watch. Oh, it's terrific. Now, considering this is coming from the intelligence sector and for CIA, this is probably why the president has appointed the bull in the China shop, Bill Pulte, as the interim DNI, and he's doing the purge. So you have the director, the most senior, the director of national intelligence, and Pulte himself has no experience in intelligence. He is known primarily for doing the president's bidding,

and now his chief of staff also know and no experience and has a history of looking into election fraud claims. Which concerns you more? The competence question or the ideology question? I think it's all of them. Number one, it's against the law to put Bill Pulte in there because he has no intelligence background.

Okay, this was interesting. I'm like, wait a minute, it's against the law to put him in there because he has no intelligence background. The law... That's bull crap. Well, the law... law says no candidate to be, no

nominee shall have no intelligence background. But Trump has already nominated another person. He's not the nominee. He's the interim. So this is another tricky dicky move by the president. He nominated someone who has

intelligence background and experience, but this guy is just here for, you know, until we move that guy through. Ideology question. I think it's it's all of them Number one, it's against the law to put Bill Pulte in there because he has no intelligence background. It's actually articulated.

So the suitability, both on knowledge and experience, but also character from both Bill Pulte and now is chief of staff. But what's their intent? What are they looking to do? Are they looking to make the intelligence community better? The DNI was supposed to be a synchronizer, supposed to help with efficiency and sharing of information. That's not what they're necessarily looking to do, what it sounds like, and what's passed as they're looking to create another big lie and now use the power of the intelligence

community and more broadly, you know, the FBI and Homeland Security and others to do the bidding to forward this conspiracy. And that should alarm all Americans because the capabilities of the intelligence community are vast and impressive, which is why we were able to dismantle ISIS and hunt down bin Laden and all the things we've done during the global war and terrorism to keep us safe after 9-11. That is not what we're going to see going to see these capabilities potentially turn

on American citizens. Yeah. Of course. It'll be turned on American citizens like John Brennan. Who has done a cool move? John Brennan is now... John Brennan is now suing the Trump administration. Firing back at Donald Trump's revenge campaign

is where we begin this hour with former director of the CIA, John Brennan. Thank you for being here and having this conversation with us. Absolutely, Nicole. Thanks for having me on. Yes. Nicole, vocal fry. Put your headphones on.

What made you sort of take a different legal strategy? Because the facts have always been the same. And I just want to ask you to go over the facts of the smears and the alleged investigations into you. Smirs. Shemir. As they've been unearthed by Trump ally, John Durham, by Marker Rubio, who was a senator in charge of the Intelligence Committee. when it comes to that 2016 intelligence assessment. Well, Nicole, clearly I didn't come to the decision

to launch this lawsuit against the Trump administration, President Trump, and the Department of Justice lightly. But as you and I have talked numerous times of the past 18 months, Donald Trump has been engaged in this campaign to punish individuals he considers his enemies. And I am being targeted by Donald Trump because I fulfilled my obligations in 2016, as director of the CIA

to expose Russian interference in that presidential election of that year. He's doubling down. Talk about your op, Muslim Brennan. Wow. Right? Yeah, this guy's unbelievable. Yeah.

So they're going to, he's going to stick with the, with the Russia collusion thing, even though it's been. Right. The lid's been long since blown off it by Tulsi Gabbard most. But this guy was probably in charge of the red-green alliance within the intelligence community. Yeah, he probably was since he was.

As head Muslim. And nobody to this day has ever in the news media has said, Hey, are you a Muslim? Are you a Muslim? And a good Muslim has to answer yes. No, a good Muslim doesn't. A good Muslim, there's that thing where you can lie. Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

I forgot about that part. part. Like, there's a term for it? Yeah, lying. Well, you know, I mean, there is a specific term for it. Perjury. It's called lying for the purposes of the, to benefit. The benefit Islam? Hmm. Yeah. Interesting. So, in conclusion, there is a definite situation we have to be aware of in the United States. And I think this red-green alliance, there's something to it.

But if you just have a bunch of imams and clerics running around, it doesn't work. It only works if you get a Mamdani or a Chevalier. This is where it's dangerous when you have the communist who is a Muslim or converts to Muslim like the Jewish guy in New York. They had him doing a whole bunch of Koran sensations. Yeah, he's at the mosque. Yeah. That's where that's what we have to look out for. And then we have the intelligence community, the FBI, going after Newsom. Oh, yeah, I have a clip. Yeah.

I'll play mine and if you've got anything then. Well, actually, let's play yours because you're in California. You would probably have something better. Newsom wiretap. That sounds the same. Stunning new report reveals the FBI recruited a member of Governor Gavin Newsom's inner political circle to wear a wire as early as June 2024. So who was this cooperating witness? Alex Alexis Podesta, a veteran Sacramento Democrat who worked under former Governor Jerry Brown. She did so in 2020. Newsom appointed her then to the Board of the State Compensation Insurance Fund,

a position that she still holds. She later became a key cooperating witness in the federal corruption case against Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty in May to federal fraud and tax charges. And that's where this story takes a major turn. The New York Post is reporting, quote, Democrat insider Alexis Podesta secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom's then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson. The revelation that she was wearing a wire,

as far back as June 2024, explains why Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them. Their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation. And that timeline matters. The wiretap would have been authorized during the Biden administration. And federal wiretaps aren't handed out lightly.

Investigators must establish probable cause show a wiretap is necessary and the DOJ must approve it. Then a federal judge has to sign off and the authorization is limited. Generally just 30 days at a time. With every extension, re-acquiring

a new application and new judicial approval is required. Yeah, they're going after him. And I looked it up, Alexa Podesta is no relation to John. No, no relation. No. But the thinking by some reporters is that she was caught up in the scandal with the chief of staff. She went state sevens. She sang like a canary. She flipped.

She flipped. And they said, if you really wanted us not to do anything with you, you're going to have to wear a wire. Yeah, that's, they usually have something on you if you're, if you're wearing a If you're walking around for, since 2024 with a wire, there's something going on. You're doing it under duress. Nobody's voluntarily doing that. Because people will shoot you if they, you know, I mean, there's been, oh, she fell out the window.

I'm sorry. Yeah. So, yeah, this is bad. Yeah, that's bad. Well, that's why Kamala is sniffing around Mamdani. You know, who do they have at this point? Who do they have? Well, the other thing that, you know, that I'm convinced of,

which is that part of the whole op, the op of the Kamiop, is also to sideline Josh Shapiro. Shapiro. And they've done that because all this anti-Jewish stuff is come, all the Semiatic stuff. Can't have the Jew. And so, and he, and CNN had an interesting little,

uh, chat around with somebody saying, well, he, he, he presents himself as more Jewish. Ooh. He's other guys. Do you have that?

Do you have a clip? No, I wish. Did they say, did they say he's more Jewie? Did they say that? No, that would be a John Stewart's always using the term, Jewy. But that would be a deal killer.

So, Shapiro. Because Shapiro, I think, could be a great candidate. Yeah. Because he's got the chops. He's got executive experience. He's running a state. That kite will not fly in this Democratic Party.

You can't be a Jew anymore. It's just not going to work. No, so the Jew thing, so they've managed to sideline him. How do they even allow Bernie Sanders to speak anymore? That's a very interesting point. Or is he just an old crank and they don't even see him? He's an old crank and, you know, he's okay. He's not really Jewish.

Yeah. The most Jewie of them all. So Birchett, Tim Burchett, Representative Burchett, who was the big UAP, UFO Disclosure Day guy. So that turned out to be a wet fart. It's just nothing happened. Spielberg didn't come through. You know, the video suck. It's all old stuff.

Oh, okay. We have a hard time even believing Apollo 11. Oh, okay. But, you know, they. They saw stuff on the moon or something. So it was just a dud. And the witnesses aren't really witnesses. They're not really whistleblowers.

So it's just nothing. So he's moved on. I think this guy's entire modus operandi is, you know, if I can just got on Joe Rogan a couple of times, I'll get reelected. So now he's on the MK Ultra tip, which is a lot more believable than the UFOs. And they got hearings. Have you seen any of the MK Ultra? hearings? I've been meaning to go back to C-SPAN and look specifically at them, but no.

Let me bring you up to speed. I remember when all the, I've seen a couple of clips that are good. Sorry, here we go. I remember when all the talk about MK Ultra broke and then they were talking about lawsuits and there were lawsuits and the CIA and the federal government said that this didn't exist. And then they came back and said, well, it does exist. And then, but we're not doing it anymore. I guess my question to y'all the first is, which lie do we do we believe? Because

he's doing stick. Woo! Yeah, who! Are these M.K. Ultra Survivors who are hooting and hollering in the background? Obviously, there was an open bar before this thing started, so thank you all. But, um, Dr. Kinser?

Hit your mic, brother. You're on the mic. On the mic. This old CIA trick. I'm just kidding. I mean, the guy is just doing stick, which is not really that funny. But I think he's trying to become a personality in these things. I think like Kennedy. He's trying to be a John Kennedy. Oh, well, he's failing. He's no John Kennedy. I put myself in the place of one of those senior CIA officers, and I'm thinking to myself like the ones back in the 1950s.

Well, other people must be doing this. We'd be falling behind if we don't do it. And nobody's looking over our shoulders. And that, I think, is your job. So I think there is a definite air of urgency and total secrecy. If any current research is going on and if it's conducted in any comparable level of secrecy to the original M.K. Ultra, it's very deeply secret. Okay, it's very deeply secret. So let's bring us up to speed, make it a little more current. let's talk about some of these lone wolf people, which we used to call lone wolves.

Now they're just known as loaners. What are the possibilities that what we've learned in MK Ultra now that it has advanced so much to algorithms and the computer and getting to loners that some of these loners could, through this just mass propagation of whatever you're doing, could cause someone to make, maybe take a shot at a president.

I know there's a lot of speculation out there about the Butler shooting and I guess even the Charlie Kirk shooting. I just hate to speculate because I don't know. I have no first-hand knowledge whether those guys were programmed through radio waves or through their computer activity. So I would never hazard a guess except to say what I've already said that they developed means that we've never been told about many, many years ago. And I imagine they've evolved to be much more effective now.

I think this guy was the only, I forget who that was, it was Dr. Kinzer. I think he's probably correct that memes and algorithms, they definitely can affect people. And, you know, DARPA, now this comes from Pachennick. So take it with the grain of salt. But Pachanek told me that DARPA, the defense event. When did you talk to Pachanic? Oh, no, we're talking years ago, years ago. And so he told me this years ago.

And there's evidence of it. The DARPA, the Defense Agency Research Project, who, thanks to Al Gore, created the Internet and, you know, Tim Berners-Lee. But we all know it was Al Gore. that they were evaluating the effects of quote-unquote social media back in the late 70s. And I think there's something to that. And just look at what memes can do. They're very powerful. And if you can control algorithms and get stuff going, you know, you can move people places.

You can get to people to want to defend Palestine and hate Jews. and, you know. The problem I have with that thesis is that when I was at Cal Berkeley is 50 years ago, plus way before memes or social media or before computers, desktop computers at least, pre-desktops, they were yelling the Palestinian thing. And then, you know, Palestine, Palestine seems to be code for something. And then when I heard that speech, which I've discussed, on the show before, a Phil Spector, who gave a three-hour lecture in Wheeler Auditorium,

and he, as an aside, went on that when he was a kid, he had heard this Palestine versus the Israel thing before Israel was even a country, and he was hearing about this Palestine, Palestine, Palestine. So I'm not convinced that memes are going to trigger some guy to take a shot in Trump. Let me counter that. maybe Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, never worked until they had the internet. And then, oh, now we can do it.

It still doesn't work. What do you mean? They're getting people positioned to be elected. We have a mayor in New York. It is working. I don't know if it's working anymore. Well, if it's an op, it may not be working and it may be artificial. I'm going to make the argument that's artificial.

Okay. Well, we shall see. Comrade. I'm going to start calling you comrade. I'm hedging my bets just in case. And our friend Bertrand also is hedging his bets because he's playing. He's doing the same thing that he did with the UFO UAPs. Listen to this.

Sounds to me like you're describing something like the Martin Luther King assassination. The FBI didn't carry it out, but he created such a climate. Denouncing King is the most dangerous man in America and putting out all this material about how he was helping communists, that they must have thought it's going to, filter down. Somebody will take action. And then we can say we didn't have anything to do with it. And James Earl Ray was a third-rate thief.

He made an incredible shot, one foot on a commode, one foot in a bathtub, leaning out of a window, basically. And the next day, or that afternoon, all the shrubbery was cut in front of the flop house. He was staying in. There's a lot on that one that will never be discussed. I have some friends that were there. Oh, yeah. So I guess I could come on pretty close to firsthand.

knowledge. But yeah, I'm sorry. I'm probably going to get audited when I walk out of the room. I know it. Thank you. Chair, lady, I yield back my four seconds. Yeah, okay. So they're not really talking about M.K. Alter. They're talking about propaganda, media propaganda. And we can certainly show that there's a lot of mainstream media propaganda that is intended for one reason and one reason only is don't vote for Trump. Vote Democrat, even better. So, I mean, I think it's, I think this op idea, there's something to it. It's possible, plausible, could be happening.

Well, it'll resolve itself shortly. But I still think the Democrats are getting in and getting the House in, I don't know if they're going to get the Senate, but they're going to get the House for sure. And they're going to impeach Trump, even though it's going to go nowhere. It's just going to be a huge waste of time. Yes. waste of time and useful content for Ms. Now and other cable news networks. They need something.

I saw an interview just to, can I switch topics here? Yes, please. I saw an interesting interview on FedGov today. You know, because they do podcasts, obviously, good use of your tax money. And they had on, they had an interview with, let me see, she is this, I think the C.I. of, hold a second, where is this here? Her name is Fletcher, Fletcher, Fletcher, Kelly Fletcher, State Department CIO.

So she runs the computers for Marco's outfit. And they have had quite an interesting experience with AI. And I'm listening to this, and I'm sure you'll pick up on the same things that I did. Honestly, for the State Department, generative AI is like the perfect technology for us. We translate things. We write a lot. It's pretty magical for our mission. Magical. And so we rolled it out to 3,000 users to start, and it was, you know, it was in development.

It crashed. You loaded a document that was too big. It crashed. PDFs worked fine, but like, oh, an Excel table, forget about it. It was imperfect. And I'm so thankful we had these 3,000 users. they were committed to it. We would change the underlying prompt in a small way, and these users would notify us of the change in performance before our analytics did.

It was so cool. So we actually have recently sort of hit the knee-in-the-curve moment. We spent probably a year... We've got to remember this one. The knee-in-the-curve moment. This is a good one. What does it refer to? So you have to look at the knee

if someone's lying on their back and then the curve all of a sudden shoots up because their knee is bent the knee in the curve. Okay. I think it's one we need to keep track of. Okay, we can keep track of it, but I don't think it's going to go anywhere.

It was so cool. So cool. We actually have recently... Just girls are being bad. Wait for it. We've hit the knee in the curve moment. We spent probably a year, year and a half just saying use it, use it, use it.

We built this for you, please use it. We now have well-euvre. over 50,000 users. We have about 20,000 users every single week, unique users. Unique users. She's talking like a Silicon Valley lady. And now we have to

we don't have enough users, so let's get some champions. Yeah, we have a really strong, like, community of users. Community, hey? Right. So, these are our employees. Some of it is, like, not technologists, but technology users become super users. They talk to each other.

They engage. And I thought organically this will grow. You know what I mean? They're sitting next to non-super users that'll grow. But now we're being more intentional about it. So we have the AI Champions Program. These are folks who like explicitly part of their duties are to go around their embassy or their domestic office and say to people, hey, this is what I'm doing with AI. Would this work for you? They get to call themselves AI champions. Their cohort, they get extra training. Honestly, it's really cool. Everything's really cool. So what do you think that after these years of implementation,

forcing these poor government employees to use it, sending out some kind of Gestapo team called AI champions, hey, they, why aren't you using this? What do you think they're ultimately using this technology for? Search engine. No, close. So right now, I would say we have AI agents, but as a user, you don't really see them.

Because they don't really exist. in the background. But we're moving to role of something we're calling Beacon, and it is your personal administrative assistant. So all those things that you're, you know, how much leave do I have? You know, I forgot. First thing we do, how do I get out of this job? AI agent, how much leave do I have? How can I leave this desk? Well, that sounds, that is government worker in a nutshell, having been there. Number one, how much? How much? The six, time do I have? How much leave do I have? Can I combine the two? I'll get

sick and take a week off. I'll be in Europe for two weeks. This is it. How much leave do I have? You know, I forgot my password on my phone. Do I have to go in to see someone or can someone help? Okay. If you're a government employee and you forgot your password on your phone, maybe you shouldn't be an employee. Like all the... Yeah. Administrative toil. Administrative toil of how do I get out of this job for two weeks in Europe?

All the administrative toil, it's going to help with that. We have the infrastructure to do it, but I'll tell you it's the training that's getting us. Because right now you would call all different helped us to solve these problems, and those helped us have scripts. And some of those scripts are great, and some of them are not. Okay. So now we're coming down to the nitty-gritty, all of this money, all of this effort, all of of these agents running around doing stuff, we need to show some numbers, people. Show me some results. And we found about 60% of our tickets from the IT support center could either be sped up or

totally resolved through an agent. But we need the agent to be very clear if it can't help. Right. We need to send you to the right place to get help, but it can't, it can't not help, because then we're going to be in a situation where folks just aren't going to trust it. We have about a minute left for this part of the conversation. What kind of a time one? Hey, lady, get to the point. The hook. Do you expect to be able to get through, it sounds like just a volume of stuff to be able to work through even with the advantage of using AI tools?

So for the IT Support Center, I think we have a full plan for about 60% of the tickets we receive, which we receive almost a million tickets a year. Now rolling that out, we're going to see how it goes with users. I think we're going to get users. my hope is that 10 to 20% of their help desk questions are resolved through Beacon in the next six months. So it's for help desk. I forgot my password. What do I do? Do I need to go see someone? I mean, what a waste. And is this the best they can do? It seems pretty pathetic. Now, if you ask Mark Andreessen, man, that guy's head.

It was egg-shaped. It's an egg. It's not egg-shaped. And it's completely smooth. I mean, it's like his head is like a giant ostrichag. I'm surprised he doesn't wear a hat. A tiny one. A tiny little. A cowboy hat would probably be the way to go.

No, no. Everyone would know, like, dude, just hiding that pointy. He is a cone head. That's what he is. And he seems like a nice enough guy. I bet the guy had dinner. with him once. Oh yeah?

When he had hair. Oh. That was how long ago it was. Yeah. And with his hair and everything, he looked, you never knew he had that shaped head for some reason. I think he probably should have gone with a toupee. Well, I think it was.

So I met him virtually in 1993. And he was still at school. I've told you the story. And I had the MTV.com. go for server. And he says, hey, I've got this thing.

It's called a web browser, Mosaic, and you can set it up on MTV.com. And he sent me the HTTPD, I think, 1.4 or something. Yeah, this is way before I met him.

Yeah. Well, he was in school. So I think once he was a billionaire, he's like, well, I'm going to deal with the toupee. I can get any chick I want.

Egghead or not. I just call my boy Jeff. So here he is about, he's asked the question about his favorite models. And so, you know, again, we're back to policy questions, which is there are going to be policy efforts to kind of prevent AI medicine from happening or robotic medicine from happening. But the capabilities for sure are going to be, are going to exist. I mean, the doctor chat GPT is a better doctor than 99% of doctors. Like people like, you know, doctors hate, you know, doctors hate when you say, but like it is, it is. It just is. It really is. we have all these new companies.

We have this company, a breaking one of our companies, open evidence that's actually the AI medical service that a lot of the doctors use. And it's sweeping the medical field. And it's great, by the way, as a patient, you really want this, because you want your doctor to have state of the art

AI, supporting all of their, you know, by the way, if only to just have all of the information at their fingertips, right, to just like really understand, you know, because no human doctor can possibly read all the medical literature and keep up with it every year. Dr. Chad GPT? That's what he's going for. Doesn't say.

Yeah, that's inevitable. Yeah. And here's an ad that producer Gary sent me. As meta is rolling out their AI. And I don't think they have a good strategy at all. They're trying to sell it now as part of your WhatsApp for an extra five bucks a month. Or you could get the pro version for 19. $19 a month.

Since they are, you know, socially conscious and they know how much their users, although I don't think their users are graduating from college, I think their users are 70, 60, 70 years old, probably, on average. Well, we have to be socially conscious. So we have to help these kids who are going to displace from the workplace and get them new jobs. People are building things here in America. again, and this moment calls for the best of America, our people. Introducing America's Workforce Academy, built by META,

a program helping to train the next generation of welders, fiber installers, crew leaders, and more. Paid training, a job, and a path to America's future, because the future is for everyone. Learn more at meta.com slash America's Workforce Academy. By the way, I would go for it. I would highly recommend you go get trained by Zuckerberg and get paid. It's a real thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I recommend it too. Two more in this, no, one more in this series, just one. Further proving my point of the idiocy of the hyperscalers and the data centers, Lisa Sue. Lisa Sue, Susan, Susan, who is the CEO of AMD. She just did her big keynote, her, her Steve.

jobs like Keynote, and her one more thing was this. Now, I would say this is pretty beautiful. Do you guys agree? So let me tell you what it is. This is the smallest AI development system in the world, capable of running models with up to 200 billion parameters locally, not connected to anything. It's powered by our highest-end RISN AI Max processor

with 128 gigabytes of high-speed unified memory that is shared by CPU, GPU, and NPU. This architecture accelerates system performance and makes it possible to efficiently run large AI models on a compact desktop PC that fits in your hand. 1,900 bucks. We're getting there. This is going to be such a meltdown when people start to figure this out. What does J.C. say? He's all in on the same thing.

Good. That makes me feel good. He has no qualms about that. that. Well, it's changed the subject again. We should probably at least discuss the big shot funeral that took place. Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah, this was rather interesting. On the 4th of July, as we had already accurately pegged, it didn't get the play that they wanted. You can't, You can't do a funeral. I can't have a funeral compete with 850,000 shells.

No, but here's the BBC report. A massive funeral like this takes massive preparations, including centers like this restation, right of the outskirts of Tehran. There are lots of these inside the city. As people come on these buses, one has just pulled up, bringing Iranians from across this country. Here, they can cue men in one line,

women in the other to get food and water and to rest. They tell us they're heading to Tehran. They want to be able to go to the vast masala complex where the former Supreme Leader is lying in state. And then on Monday, what's expected to be a huge procession carrying his coffins to the streets of Tehran, millions are expected to turn out. Many will, but many won't. Those who suffered during the restrictions and repression of his nearly four decades of rule. In the midst of this morning, this is an intensely political moment. You'll see on all of the photographs of the flags a clenched fist, a symbol of resistance and also revenge,

a message from the leaders of this Islamic Republic. The war assassinated, their supreme leader, and many others. But they're still standing and still in charge. Well, that's interesting. That was the BBC take, who clearly want to continue to have the strangle hold on the Strait of Hormuz out of our hands. CNN had a rather different report. Up front now, Nizila Fati, former New York Times correspondent who's based in Iran for 10 years. Nizila, we haven't seen or heard from the new Supreme Leader, Moshabakominee yet.

So if he does not appear during this ceremonies, what is the message that's? sense. Erica, I think that is the most striking absence that everybody's asking. Where is he? What is the reason that he has not made an appearance yet? Because even the head of the Revolutionary Guards, Ahmadabad Vahidi, who had not been seen in public since his appointment after Ayatollah Khomeini was killed, made an appearance at this funeral.

How come he's not showing up for his father's? his own daughter's funeral. And the only way that he has communicated has been through written messages. And if this funeral is expected to project an image of resilience, strength, and also leadership transition, I don't think this messaging is complete without Khomeini's appearance during this funeral. A little different message. Of course, the guy may not even be alive for all we know.

I wonder myself. You know? Trump keeps saying like, oh, no, it was a bit of regime change, new people, the old, we killed the old people, then we killed the new old people, now they're dead, now we got the new guy. Yeah, kind of cavalier about it. Yeah. He likes killing people. I have a kind of the religious, I wouldn't call her a nutcase, but this woman who runs a Grace Ministries, Amanda Grace has kind of, I'm not familiar with her.

Well, you will be after you listen to this. This is a rundown of what's to come after the July 4th party. Hello, everyone, Amanda Grace here. something fascinating is beginning today and actually converging with July 4th. Oh, I have seen her. She has like a kind of a small room that she's standing in. Yeah. Yeah.

Hello, everyone. Amanda Grace here. Something fascinating is beginning today and actually converging with July 4th that I believe we really need to pay attention to the fact that these events have converged together this particular year. That is America's 250th anniversary. Let me explain. So the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar begins July 2nd, 2026. Can I just ask in advance? Does this result in the rapture at any point?

I don't think so. Okay. It's a Jewish fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple. Now, it marks the beginning of a three-week period of mourning that leads to Tishba-Av or the 9th. of Av. Now, the ninth of Aviv begins this year, July 22nd, 2026. It is considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, on which they not only fast and pray, but they

recognize that very serious world events occurred on the 9th of Av. Some of them were, the spies returned with a bad report, both holy temples were destroyed, the Jews were expelled from England and from Spain, and World War 1 began. America's

250th anniversary, the year falls within these three weeks of morning between Tishbaav and the 17th of Tammuz. I don't think that's an accident. I think we have to pay close attention to the fact that these two events are converging within this time. You know what else is happening to within this three week morning period? The Ayatollah Ali Komeni's funeral, which happens to begin July 4th, 2026 and goes to July 9th, gets what July 4th is on the Islamic calendar.

It is the 19th day of the first month, or 9-11. And it's concluding July 9, 7-9, 1979 was the Iranian Revolution. This is all happening within this three-week period between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av. That's not an accident. We have to be heightened and alert spiritually, intercede and pray, because there is a profound reason this is all converging. die. Yeah. I would have

clip that on myself. Yeah. Well, I expect Sir Brian of London to give us a full report. Oh, he'll be glad to. Yes, and he'll let us know if there's any truth to this. But yes, you must be very careful. Be, uh, we must be

on alert. Uh, well, I'm always on alert. So I do have one Ask Adam clip. Oh. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Yeah. Okay, I'm ready. Okay, before we play it, this is a clip you want to listen to this.

I want you to tell me what this is all about. And this is the 30-second clip? Is that what it is? Ask Adam Context. Yeah, ask Adam Context. What is this about? Women's bodies have always been big business. You can go back to the 90s.

There was an obsession around being as thin as possible. Fast forward in the 2000s. we saw a lot of focus on having big lips, tiny waist. Now the focus may be on being young forever, but it's always been a money-making business. Is the difference now that young girls are being monetized? I mean, it strikes me that Ellie Mae has taken on a role as a moneymaker. Ask Adam, ask Adam,

will he know or really won't? I don't know, but here we go. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Answer the question. Go. Can I hear the last... Can I hear the last 10 seconds of this clip? You can listen to it again if you want.

I think I need a few more seconds of this clip. A lot of focus on having big lips, tiny waist. Now the focus may be on being young forever, but it's always been a money-making business. Is the difference now that young girls are being monetized? I mean, it strikes me that Ellie Mae has taken on a role as a moneymaker Okay, can Is this, it is either

I can't Is it a reboot of the Beverly Hillbillies? Wow. Is it? That's out there, no. But I admire that shot. That was a good one. He admires my shot.

That was from half a court. Shot in the dark. I did a granny style, underhand. Is it about only fans? No. It sounds like it's about prostitution. What is exactly about, and I took the, it's not a context clip, obviously, because I thought it was so fascinating the way they put everything. It's about pre-teen online influencers. Oh, wow. There's a big trend going on. This was a report from, I think, NPR or BBC, one of the two. But there's a whole bunch of these pre-teen online influencers that are paid. to, uh, to, you know, promote makeup or whatever.

Yeah. Yeah. For kids. Yes. For kids. Yeah. Ziphora. Which brings us to another kind of a angle here, just part of that clip.

I have this Maha clip. Okay. This is the Maha soda pop influencers clip. You know, last spring, something strange happened online. I want to share with everyone. The moment, uh, Robert F. Kennedy, moved to pull soda off the food stamp thing. Oh, this was a big to do.

This is from several months. This is maybe almost a year ago, this thing that happened. A wave of influencers, dozens of them just blew up their feeds overnight, outraged, all trying to defend soda. And I'm like, these are like dietitians. These are health gurus defending soda all at the same time within the same 48 hours. I found that very odd. Almost every one of them just happened to mention the same thing

that President loves Diet Coke. I'm like, oh, interesting. This is probably not a grassroots reaction. This is a script. And if you pull the string on it, it comes out, comes from a PR firm that has been quietly texting influencers, their talking points, and offering at the very bare minimum, $5,000 a post. I thought it was $5,000.

But if you are a larger influencer, you can get 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, even up to 500,000 or more per post. And I'm not kidding. It's like a lot of money involved in this. So, so there, and the problem is their posts are not mentioning that they're being paid. So, unfortunately, you know, it's like you've got to be suspicious of these posts because it all seemed to be attacking at the same time. But here's what people need understand this is like the normal now and online influence is the product you can buy it by the post and the overwhelming majority of marketers now run influencing or influencer campaigns it's a multi-billion dollar machine yeah and i from what i understand after this came out that the most of these

influences were paid and didn't disclose it then there was a whole wave of them apologizing like hey, I took this money. I really shouldn't have. I feel bad about it because they were all exposed. Yeah, this is what, hey, the same way that they're paid to influence soda pop, they can be paid to influence elections, they can be paid to influence all kinds of things.

Yeah, that's what you do. And quite frankly, I think that's our exit strategy. We might as well just sell out. Yeah. You know, I'm thinking we can probably do influence campaigns for coffee, for chocolate, for honey products. Honey, honey products. Honey products.

For resumes that get results. I mean, hey, maybe, maybe I should just thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in 128 gigabytes of CPU. Say hello to my friend on the other end. The only Mr. John C. Pardon you, Mr. C. I'm currently on the morning.

I should see boost the graph in the air. Subs in the water. all the dames and nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hold on a second troll me. I got to count you. Hold on. There we go. Oh, 1471. That's more than I expected.

On this 4th of July weekend, which I would like to remind everybody. We're working. We're working. Fourth of July weekend. I'm working here. It is 10 p.m. Yeah, and you actually flew to, you're not even, you're not only working.

you're working in another country. Yes, in a different time zone. And I really should be here hanging out with my daughter. But no. Sorry, I can't come visit you Thursday or Sunday. Sorry. I know I'm only 40 minutes away, but, you know, it got to work.

You know, we have a public service. People tell you. You're 40 minutes away? From Rotterdam, yeah. Oh, I thought you were staying in Rotterdam near them. No, no, we're staying in Amsterdam. We're right near the museum plane. The Rikes Museum.

Rikes Museum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stade Lake Museum, which is modern art. And then they have the Moko, Moko. And that's like, they say they have a Banksy and some other stuff there. I don't know. Isn't that Banksy doesn't it have to be attached to a wall or something? Yeah, you have to take the wall down. Generally. So, no, but it's important to us because we know that people rely on certainly 14,

1,300 people rely on us doing it live at this hour, at this hour. And we're happy that they're listening. And they're probably listening at noagendashstream.com or on a modern podcast app because you're just wasting your time with the legacy apps. First of all, you're never going to get a bad signal. You're not going to go know that we went live. And you certainly have to be able to listen to the live stream in your modern podcast app. And, you know, we have a troll room, which is our studio audience.

They hang out. and if you can't, even if you can't, when we publish the show within 90 seconds because of the pod ping technology that all these modern podcast apps are using. And it's now, we're decentralizing this pod ping stuff even more. And people can even participate with a gossip listener. So we are really taking the power away from ourselves, actually. We're taking podcast index. We're going to decentralize that. It'll all be in DHD, which is distributed.

hash space. So the whole podcast universe will be distributed and uncorruptible. And that will be the only media distribution format of its kind that can do that.

And we will make zero money from it, which is kind of weird, but also kind of fun. So I hope everyone appreciates that. I know you do, John. Oh yeah. And I think it should get a noble prize. I always appreciate the not making money part. Yes.

You always try to tell me to re-evaluate my choices in life. So you can get a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com. Now, we have made our own, speaking of money, our own vow to not succumb to commercial interests and only work in a value for value model. which means we give you our full program, everything we have twice a week, the full Monty, no expectations up front.

All we suggest is that you think about the value you have received, which can be, you know, would you please take the value pitch? Because I asked you to do that last week, and I think you should do it again this week. You're pretty good at it. People are tired of hearing me say it.

You're good at you, but it's just kind of, well, you kind of, you give it in such a way that it's relaxing. I'm more irked about it is because the idea is that we reproduce a very elaborate product that people are kind of stunned by how professional it is. Yes. And then we give it away. And we just hope to God that people make the realization that the reason that we're giving it away is because we can't do this any other way and be honest.

Because if you have advertisers or corporate index, interests, you have to cater to them, even though you sometimes will do it so subtly, you maybe make it sound as though you're not doing it, but you have to do it. You have to knuckle under in one way of shape or form. Have you tried that new Coke zero? Yeah, like that. So it's delicious. So there's a lot of, the honesty factor.

It depends on whether you want to this. We're the only podcast that really does this well because we're very sincere about it. Other people who try to do half-baked value for value. Some people are reticent about it. Some people are shy about it. That's the real problem. Oh, God, I don't want to have to ask for money. Oh, me, I'm asking for money.

I don't want to take you. I don't want to take people's stuff. Yeah, and then give 30% to Patreon or whatever. Yeah, they give a bunch of money to Patreon. Then they get a check in the mail. Then Patreon can cut them off. And, yes, Patreon can cut them off. And Patreon, you have to have levels.

They kind of force the, I don't think you can just willy-nilly give any rando donation. I think you have to have a level. That's the other thing. We've actually pioneered the rando donation where you give whatever you feel like. You know, what do you think is it worth to you? Now, the idea, of course, to be honest about it, is that it maybe gives people the, you know, they might get loose. and say, well, I'm going to give them a little more than I normally. He's got $50.

I'll give them $55. Or $501. Do you feel loose yet? I want to get high on that list. Do you feel loose? 505, that's a good one. It's a super high quality product. You had me at super high quality product, really.

That's where you have it. It's a super high quality product. Every once in a while somebody will comment about it to say, how do you guys do that? You're not in the same room. You don't rehearse. You don't practice. and you're like remote and you go for three hours jacking away about these various topics and it is smooth and sounds like you know you've been doing it forever well that's because we've been

doing it forever we've been doing it for 19 years if you don't have it down by now you're never going to get it down so that's what value for value is all about there you go so you can support us in a number of ways time and talent and treasure now the time and talent part is critical to the model. We have never called our listeners, listeners, or as Rogan calls them, fans. No, you know, you are producers. Everyone has an obligation. And not everybody has a time or a talent in their, in their mix.

Some people are very good. Well, it's actually interesting because everybody has a specialty. And that's why we have such interesting boots on the ground reports from, oh man, people in aviation, people in medicine, people in education. In broadcasting. People in broadcasting. People in carpentry. People in welding.

People in trucking. People in, you can't name a vocation. Yes. You can't name a vocation that we don't have someone out there who is an expert in the field and is happy to share their experience with. I actually got boots on the ground from the anonymous air traffic controller. about that that almost incursion

where we had one plane incoming and the other plane took off after like 30 seconds of getting clearance and so then the incoming plane had to do a go around and pulled up so it didn't crash into them. Yeah. And I said, you know,

hey, I'm kind of disappointed that you didn't, you know, none of our air traffic controllers wrote in. So I'll just read what wrote in finishing 1881. Regarding the near miss and ATC, these things, in my opinion, are a culmination of things all resulting from COVID, where one to two year pilots were promoted after large amounts of retirements occurred through the scamdemic. Also during those years, the FAA implemented CPDLC, controller pilot data link communications, basically text messaging from

air traffic control to pilots. Now with the recurring no agenda topic of screen, and smartphones destroying our younger generation's ability to do anything outside of drool and drool and scroll. It's got an image. Imagine a system where air traffic control of pilots don't have to talk to each other for a majority of the flight. Everything has done over text message. Click accept and the plane does it. This is true. No one has thought through the impact that's going to have. When you eliminate the constant need to listen and respond in a timely matter, the result is delays in response and slower attention spans. Quote, oh, when ATC sends me the next text command and just push the button, it's noticeable.

Pilots are slow to respond, sometimes called three to four times before acknowledging. This doesn't exclude controllers. Making the job more efficient with tech takes away from what actually gets the job done. The God-given ability to speak. Post-COVID freeze hires are unwilling to do the study, to study the point. post-COVID freeze hires are unwilling to study the point 65 to know the rules. I'm not sure what that means. So he winds up by saying, no agenda pilots, do better.

No agenda controllers. Pull your heads out and do the job. Stop relying on a computer system to do your job. Thank you for your courage, the anonymous controller. Kind of a concerning note. Yeah, I'd say it bothers me hearing it. Yes. But that's the kind of quality analysis you get on the.

No Agenda show from our producers. Now, you can also organize a meetup. There's a lot of things you can do. We do need to pay bills. And that's where this value for value comes for. Value often enumerated in cold, hard cash. Don't send your water, your blankets. We just want your cash.

But first, we got to thank a talent, and that is the artwork that always gets attention. We have noagenda artgenerator.com. That is where you can upload your usually AI prompted artwork. and if we choose it, we're happy to give you credit. And we thank Blue Acorn for making the traditional kind of cheesecakey, although it wasn't a classic style, a classic, almost like, would you call this 1960s or 1940s? I would say pin-up style, yeah.

So 40s kind of. Vargas. Varga girl. Yes, Varga girl, exactly. America 250, no agenda. You got the Varga girl. you got the eagle, you got a flag, you got some fireworks. It worked for us.

And a lot of people had this similar idea. If we go look at the art generator to evaluate other pieces we looked at. Let me see. We had happy to, we had the ferris wheel. Francisco Scaramanga had an ovage. No, we're not going to use that. was there anything else we liked I don't think so

not really you were actually complaining well I usually do complain I usually complain about the artwork no this was good I like the the comic strip bloggers which was used in the newsletter the second iteration of

happy 250 with the roller coaster which was stolen from apparently Nessworks who did an earlier version in the in the timeline. But it wasn't as good. He reprimped it as an old prompt.

Oh, that's interesting. I don't know how he managed to do it exactly the same. Or maybe. Unless he fed the original art into the thing and said, do it better. Or maybe they just use the same model and pooped that out. Maybe. That's also possible. Well, Blue Acorn, we appreciate you.

Thank you very much for your support with the time and talent you put into it. Now we're going to thank the financial producers who gave us their treasure. and we thank everybody $50 and above. We do have some guidelines for ourselves here. We like to read notes, and we read every single note above $200 guaranteed. We may pick one or two out under the 200 level, and that's just for time's sake. If you're fortunate enough to support us with $200 or more, then not only will we read your note, we'll also give you an official Hollywood title of Associate Executive Producer,

and those are real titles, real credits. You can put it in IMDB.com. It's accepted there. It looks great on your LinkedIn, et cetera. You can say you're an executive, if it's $300 or more, you can say I'm an executive producer of the No Agenda podcast and I'm a podcast consultant.

And then you can send people emails and they will hire you. Haven't you received many of these consultant messages on LinkedIn? LinkedIn? You get more than if you get a bunch of them, yeah. My email, I don't know if you have, my email has somehow they got my name off of a podcast list. There's some hot list that is going around and it's just, I mean, you can't, you can't. You get in junk. Well, it's all, you know, talk to this guy, you know, he wrote a book, like Tham Hartman. I forwarded that one to you. Yeah, I saw that Tom Harman.

You should interview. What I sent you back was the great crash of 2017. The authoritative Tham Hartman. I get a lot of those, probably 10, 15 a day. And they have pretty good subject lines. I'm like, is this one a producer? Ah! You open up right away.

It's one of those. You've got to bounce. I don't know if your email system can do it. I know mine can. I know Google doesn't do it. You send a region. But you have to, if you bounce the sender as though that their, that email is invalid, you just, you know, usually take you off that list, whatever it is.

Oh, that's a good idea. Okay. I'll talk to Void Zero. Yeah, he'll get you bounced. So let's start with our top executive producer today who came in with a show number donation. This hasn't happened in a while. And it gets tougher the longer we continue the show. $1,883. This is show 1883.

I also give props to you two. Well, I know I'll always give props to you to. Thank you for helping me make my dad proud. Adam, please shake your rainstick for Colorado and Utah. They're both on fire.

end of show mixes and John's tip of the day it's time to select the ISO for the end of the show. I came with nothing today. So you win by default. We just have to choose which fake voice we're going to use. Fake, I got these from Trump's speech. Okay.

Start with the 250. I want to wish no agenda and the producers a happy 250th U.S.A. anniversary. Okay. Wow. That's so cool. You got it from his speech. I must have missed that part. It was during the lightning storm.

Well, you were, you didn't get to catch the whole thing. Okay. But that was nice when he did that. Very, very kind of him. Yeah. And here's another one from Trump. John and Adam are the best podcasters out there. So donate to the show.

Well, I'm conflicted because we really... Don and Adam are... How come it got cut off? You need to have the bot put a little more breath at the beginning and the end. Don and Adam are... It sounds like Don't. John and Adam are the best podcasters out there. So donate to the show.

I think we'll do that one just to piss you off. It's Don and Adam. Yeah, Don and Adam, everybody. Hey, right now it is time for John's tip of the day. advice for you and me just the tip with JCD and sometimes at all

this comes from one of our nights and this is a nights only tip of the day for the nights out there people that got the nights yeah this is a and he sent a convincing argument

why I should make this tip of the day okay this is an electric wax and this is what you look it up and Amazon has it they're $8.98 cents what a deal Electric wax seal, warmer.

Oh. It's a seal kit with tweezers and a tool and the whole thing. And your little round thing where you can pour the hot wax into the, and to make the circle, and you can stamp it with your, with your night. Oh, so you're not messing around with a lighter and dripping. So you're not burning yourself.

You're not burning the wax. It's a wax melter. That's a great idea. That's a good thing. A little wax melter for people out there who like to use the wax. that you get with the ring. That is an outstanding tip. I think that's...

Not of that, but you get some more... You get additional melting wax seal sticks. Yes, there's nothing quite... And beads. You get some wax beads if you want to use them. You get some beads. Everybody wants beads. You can't lose, everybody.

If you want to find out more, go to tipofthaday.net or no agenda fun.com. Great advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCP. And sometimes... Adam, created by Dana Burnettie. Wow, all right. Going on 11 p.m. here in the lowlands. We'll be probably not hitting the bed until about 12.30.

Time to go to bed. Yeah, so these good people can go home. That's what my grandfather would say. What? It's time to go to bed so these good people can go home.

Same chunks of celery. Same globalist lard. Melting in the heat dome like it's part of the plan. Push it faster till it gives the whole country the trots, man. The exact same recipe from Ottawa to Canberra. Even the paprika ratio is suspiciously similar. Open border onions. Burn out croutons on top.

Socialist mayo is so thick. It'll make your sobriety stop. Heat wave hit it. Now it's turning into soup. GOP1 in the potato salad. Got the whole party on the scoop. Explosive diarrhea at the 250th barbecue While the moderate potato salad

Till the whole country's soft The only way to beat it is to put out even more Till the food poisoning so bad that you can't ignore the metaphor. Same potato salad, same recipe worldwide. Melting faster than the narrative they try to hide. Push it past and let the mayo melt down commence. Support the show before the potato salad achieve sentient.
