Hit it, baby.
Larry Blytner, Darren O'Neill.
It's Sunday, August 2, 2026.
This is your Gitmo Nation of Media Assassination, Episode 1891.
This is no agenda.
That's right.
We are broadcasting live from just outside of Shirek, right here in FEMA region number five in the morning, everybody.
I'm Darren O'Neill.
And from the pretentious Connecticut Shore, this is Larry Blydner, keeping comment.
and creeps at bay with my gleaming
scimitar of truth.
It's Darren and Larry.
In the morning.
Yeah, I still can't figure out why you move from one
commie place to another. You had a chance.
I'm not that bright.
You had a chance to escape.
What can I say?
The joy ride continues on today's show.
Yeah.
Thanks to everybody who sent in the well wishes
and we are
trying to do right by the show.
and trying to give you the media deconstruction.
We are not trying to replace Adam or John
because we can never replace Adam and John,
but we're Darren and Larry.
Yeah, we're having some fun, I'll say that.
That was a lot of fun last time out.
It really was.
And one thing I missed in the troll.
I think I said the number when I did the troll count
because it's like plates are spinning.
The podfather makes it look easy.
The maximum number listening live was 888,
which is kind of spooky, being that.
JCD everybody knows.
Eights are magic.
So why do you think they were magic?
I couldn't know, but they are.
Just stacked zeros or two donuts or what, you know,
I always wonder about that why people develop, you know,
an affinity for certain digits.
Your lucky numbers are your lucky numbers, bud.
So JCD left a mark worldwide.
And if there's any question about it,
our first clip for today comes all the way from Down Under.
And Adam posted this over on the X.
And the woman's name I've got it here is Sarah Harris.
And man, Nick the rat was the first one like,
oh man, now you're making me cry again because this is going to show you exactly
the whole all around the world left by the passing.
of John C. DeVoreg.
This is quite embarrassing to admit,
but last Friday,
I spent the time crying in the work toilets
over a man I've actually never met.
The last 12 years, twice a week, every week,
I've been listening to this podcast,
and it's hosted by John C. DeVoreg.
They're showing a picture of John.
Mm-hmm.
I've just been listening to this podcast,
but it's such a long time,
and it's become such a part of my...
my life. And, like, I've donated to the show. You don't pay for it. It's all on, based on
donations. And, like, it's got me through some hard times in my life, but, um, and I just can't
believe how hard it's hit me. Like, it feels like, I feels like a death in the family.
You know, when people lose their minds when celebrities die. Yeah. I always thought, oh, my God,
how can that be a thing? I actually get it. I can't be the only one that's had this reaction to
feeling like you know someone and that other person has no clue who you are.
No, so Sarah Harris, we feel you the outpouring from people saying just that.
And this coming from somebody that works in radio, you know,
I don't think anybody that does this kind of thing where you're talking and, you know,
you're basically talking to a microphone and I'm talking to you and Adam was talking to John.
Sometimes you lose that you're talking to a whole lot of people and you're making a difference.
in what you do.
So that was a beautiful tribute.
And it was very nice.
It really was heartfelt.
Yes, echoing what you are hearing from a lot of the producers of the No Agenda show.
Again, thanks to everybody for listening to Larry and I, keep up this tradition.
And for the people saying Larry's voice is too good, I mean, you're probably right.
Oh, keep saying that.
I love it.
More, louder.
Repeat, please.
Yeah.
But it's as usual, the new cycle going on.
The media is a little less than honest.
And you brought a clip that is more than fresh off the press.
This is like this popped up like 20 minutes ago.
And it's kind of interesting because the, you know,
in the previous show, you know, the doll of the day was, of course, Tony Fauci.
And, you know, his fans are still clinging to his,
to what remains of him.
And one of them, obviously, is Dana Bash,
and she's kind of getting into it with Bobby the K, right?
You know, just minutes before this show began.
Give me, but you're just, you're talking about rights,
and I'm asking about a potential public health crisis that is coming.
But I do want to, let's.
And one of the mistakes we made in the last time was suppressing those rights,
so people weren't being heard.
Doctors who are saying you're doing it,
wrong for being marginalized and vilified.
Yeah, because, again, I really want to move on.
But you were saying, you were part of the problem.
No, I wasn't part of the problem.
Yeah, there was absolute press malpractice.
You weren't allowing your job.
Mr. Secretary, your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority.
And you weren't doing that.
You are beating up people.
My job is also, no.
Okay.
Are you going to, you want to sit here and attack?
me or do you want to have a conversation?
I'm not attacking you.
I'm not attacking you.
Larry, we've never actually hit this button for us yet.
I don't care that it's the first one out of the box.
Thank you.
I feel so honored.
And there might be a show title in there, Darren.
Press malpractice.
I've never even heard that before, but I love it.
Oh, I love that people are getting a little bit more ornery with these morons that.
pretending to be the media who never asked probing questions.
If you ever hear like, oh, what do you make of that?
You know they're morons.
Of course.
They don't know what to say.
And this reality of all, though, we were Bobby the Kay absolutely right.
They were silencing doctors who had a different opinion from the majority.
That happened.
And that's scary because how do you know if your doctors are right or the other doctors
are right?
You don't.
They were silencing silencing.
silencing everyone.
I was bumped off Facebook because I said things critical of the Vax.
I was,
many of my tweets were deleted,
you know,
for those violations.
It's disinformation.
Disagreement is disinformation.
Well,
you all remember that,
yeah.
Well,
yeah,
and you were suspended a few times as well from,
by the way,
I have to thank,
my wife came up with that clip.
And if I don't thank her,
I'm going to be probably night eating for the next week or so.
So thank you,
well,
that's it.
You never know where the good clips
they're going to come from. You never know. Yeah. And that is wow. I mean, I've heard people like Rubio
and Trump get a little contentious with the press. RFK Jr. This I think was the, so far my favorite.
Right. He's got game. There's no question. Yeah. That is, that is press. So what happened was
after the Fauci thing last episode, I kind of flashed on this kooky idea. And I want to run it by you, Darren.
and of course the podfather
and all our Marvin producers out there.
And it's kind of like
No agenda has this very pronounced, I think,
medieval component.
You know, it's kind of like Ving Rhames
and that Pulp Fiction.
We could get medieval on your ass.
You got knights and dames?
Yeah, we've got knights, we get dames,
we get barons and dukes and viscounts and magical swords
and regal trumpet fanfares
and cingot rings and sealing wax.
And that's all right there.
excuse me
and I realized as I was watching
Fauci
in that chamber of Congress
being grilled
and I'd say grilled slash
verbally abused
by some of those guys
that this was the 21st century
version of being pillory
like Quasimoto
you know being being towed around
the town square
strapped to an open wagon
while everybody pitches
rotten fruits and vegetables at them
and curses them out
right that's kind of what that was and it must totally deserve and Quasimodo was a great guy
and as we know he's actually a hero just not not attractive but about the same as as that
knife-eared goblin founchy so anyway watching that I thought maybe maybe there's something
there maybe there's an element or a feature that could be added to no agenda something
like the pillory pageant right
And so my first nominee would be Bernie, right?
I mean, who's more cretiness and horrific than Bernie?
That horrid commie fossil who just won't go away.
And Kennedy, so nicely, just summed him up nicely on a five-five.
But I wonder, was Kennedy at MTV at the same time Adam was?
I wonder if he knows her.
There might have been overlap.
Overlap?
Overlap. That'd be interesting to get his take on that.
But here's a Kennedy.
summing up
Bernie rather nicely.
She misses a couple of steps on.
I'll butt in and speak when she does.
Bernie Sanders, and I speak from experience here,
he's like a woman in her 50s.
Still super hot, doesn't care,
doesn't give a spit about anything
or anyone's opinion,
but he wants to be beloved.
And I look at Bernie Sanders
like a cult leader
because that's what he is to the Democratic Socialists,
because they are all in on emotion.
They not only do not have a rational capacity, they despise anything having to do with rationality
because rationality represents objectivity.
And objectivity means math.
Objectivity means black and white.
It means binary choices.
And they despise that.
Everything has to be subjective.
It has to be about your feelings.
And they pin all of that on their cult leader Bernie Sanders.
And, you know, it's like, say whatever you want about I'm sure.
I'm sure he's a nice guy.
but he's also got a massive ego on him.
And he wants to maintain his spot as the kingmaker.
Well, that's all true.
And I might add, you've been railing about that for almost five years on no agenda.
How they're all about feelings, correct?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But where I disagree with Kennedy is, how does she know?
People always do this on the right because the right always wants to kind of take the high road and be nice.
Hey, Kennedy, how do you know?
Bernie's a nice guy. Have you had dinner with him, lived next door to him? She's probably never
met the guy. I'll tell you what he is. He's a gloomy creep, okay? You want to know what Bernie is?
Picture this. You're sitting in an airport lounge, a little too early for your flight. There are
dozens of empty seats around you. And in the distance up the concourse, you spot this
demented vagrant shuffling your way. Looks like a Muppet? Well, it's, it's all
and he's wearing galoshes and an Arctic parka.
And he's mumbling to himself.
And you're praying this guy won't come your way.
But of course, he does.
And he flops right next to you and says,
Let's talk about oligarchy.
Okay.
That's what Bernie Sanders is.
He's that kind of a weirdo.
You don't want to be in the same zip code as the guy, right?
Well, he has changed his, you know,
he was against millionaires until it was out that he was a multi-millionaire.
Then he became against billionaires.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
The M switched would be.
And somebody had a clip.
It was too verbose and too, too much the same stuff.
But they had him from 1983, right till the present, saying the exact same lines.
He'd become a nice of oligarch, on and on, on.
He never changes his tune.
It's pretty awful.
But it's funny you mention the thing about his, his,
departure from
savaging millionaires for billionaires because
Bernie is a millionaire.
Multiple houses, doing pretty well.
Yeah, and here's a terrific clip of
Dave Rubin, Bernie explaining himself.
And then Dave has some fascinating commentary
after that.
Do I own three residences? Yeah, I do.
I live here in Burlington, Vermont.
We live in a middle-class neighborhood.
Nice house.
I mean, to be fair, though, Larry.
everybody has at least three residences, don't they?
I don't. Do you?
No. Sorry. I barely have one.
Me too. I don't know what's the matter.
Guess what? I'm a United States Senator.
So there's a foot down. There's kind of in your face, right? Little Ubers.
I'm United States Senator. Okay.
Yeah, guess what?
Guess what? Isn't that rich? Yeah.
Right. So that means that you've obviously made money off the backs of
what constituents you have.
And again, politicians that enrich themselves
while in office there is a long list
on both sides of the aisle,
except for some reason,
Lindsey Graham, who didn't enrich himself.
They're shocking, yeah.
I think that Bernie suffers a lot from Fauci disease,
which is...
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he's in love of himself.
Absolutely.
And he never thought his little position
of socialism was going to,
work. He's old enough that he's been doing this so long. He never thought it was really going to work. He was
just the crazy guy on the one side who was enriching himself while telling you, you shouldn't have money.
And now here he is being questioned. And he doesn't like it.
Home in Washington, D.C. as do most centers. You know, you live there year after year. When I first went to,
actually, when I was in Congress for 16 years, I rented all the time. But I got elected. Okay,
got a six-year term. You know what? Let's buy a house. So we bought a house.
And guess what?
Like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer camp.
It's a nice one on Lake Champlain.
That's it.
Did you hear that?
I have a summer camp.
Is it like a re-education camp?
Who the hell talks about a vacation, calls it a camp.
Unless it's a tent on the side of the lake, Bernie or lying?
That's not a camp.
But again, lefties and commies love, they love the word camp.
They really do.
Yeah, camp usually makes you think that there is a, you know,
cult or maybe something like that going on.
Oh, but to hear that again.
Yeah.
I got elected.
Okay, you got a six-year term.
You know what?
Let's buy a house.
So we bought a house.
And guess what?
Like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer camp.
It's a nice one on Lake Champlain.
Yeah, I've never heard of anybody saying he has a summer camp.
Yeah.
A summer home, maybe.
Maybe he's having an aneurism or something.
Cottage.
No, it's a, I think it's a commie word.
It's a dog whistle.
My camp.
I believe it.
Yeah.
That's it.
Now, how did I get the money?
You're right.
I wrote two bestselling books, including this book on capitalism.
It was New York Times bestseller for a while.
Okay, that is also very ironic.
Oh, totally.
As Rubin will remark, surely, yes, incredibly ironic.
I mean, and this, again, says, you know, people think he's really smart.
Right there, he's really stupid.
Okay.
He's persistent.
He hangs, as they say, you know, 90% of life is showing up.
And that's what Bernie's done.
But he's really not that bright at all.
Well, yeah, and why do all these commies not give all of their extra money to the government?
Isn't that what they want?
Why not?
I don't know.
And also another book was a youth book.
A youth book.
A youth book.
A hundred and seventy-five thousand a year.
And that's more or less how I became the zillionaire than I am.
How did I make the money?
Well, even though I've spent a career trying to destroy capitalism and I've got three houses and everything else, I sold best-selling books.
Of course, I guess if I thought about it for a little bit longer, I'd realize it's selling best-selling books and getting them on the New York Times.
I don't know.
I mean something about capital.
I didn't know Ruben could be that funny.
That was very good, wasn't it?
He's entertaining.
He really is.
And, yeah, he picked right up in the irony.
I hate capitalism, but I'm going to use it so I can buy a vacation house on the Lake of Vermont.
Well, yes, being anti-capitalism is the stance for everything that he has put out there that has made him money.
Yes.
And he thinks that's okay.
That's the insanity.
You're not even pointing out like, you know, this isn't right.
This is way too much money for somebody just to, you know, write some words down on a piece of paper.
That's not what Bernie's saying.
He's taking the money.
happy about the money.
Yeah.
But he got the money because of a system that he hates, which...
And wants to destroy.
Yes.
You don't think he's going to give up all his money if the country...
If the commies win and the country switches over, then you think Bernie's going to give up all
his money?
No.
Well, I think Stalin had like six vacation homes.
He was very wealthy.
And I, you know, before...
I remember reading before Musk really became Musk and before the...
the Soviet Union fell or maybe right around that time.
Vlad Putin was suspected of maybe being the richest guy on earth.
Like way, way, way back he had, I think he was worth like 40, 50 billion.
And that was before Gates or Buffett attained that level.
You know, so those commies can, they really had to make it pay.
They do.
Yeah, they make a lot of money telling you that this is a horrible, horrible system.
Yes.
which makes zero sense.
Oh, for them it does.
Well, yeah, because they get money.
Yes.
So that's it.
Now, interestingly enough, I found another dynamite clip of Michael Savage, haven't heard much from him lately.
But he's going to talk about Bernie and do his impression.
I'll let you and the folks at home decide which is superior.
Sanders is the walking embodiment of the evil communist.
And that hand of his, that spittle hand,
Let me tell you why we need to have a cooperation, international cooperation in IT.
We must have international cooperation with China on the thing with AI.
And the reason we need to have it on AI is because if we don't all get together on AI,
someone is going to dominate from space and we'll all get killed.
So I think that we must give all of our secrets to China right away.
And I tell you right now, although I look cock-eyed and I look like I'm an old Jewish man who ate them with salsa.
I'm really a communist plan who should have been indicted a long time ago.
Well, you go, I'm so stupid.
You don't even know my naked comment.
is let me talk about right now.
He's had more practice doing it. There's no question.
Definitely better.
I mean, Rubens, I love the Rubens like choking on his own larynx or something at the end.
That was kind of cool.
But a savage has got him beat on just the straight Bernie impression.
Very good.
Well, yeah.
And again, this is the far rights media going after the far left.
This is the ball game that you're getting no matter what.
Yeah.
And I don't know if anybody really wins because the reality.
of things get so lost somewhere in the middle, which is what no agenda kind of sprung up from.
The fact that you're getting this stuff here, you're getting this stuff here.
How do you know who to believe?
And, you know, for a while it was kind of, I won't say easy, but you were able to kind of keep score and fact check things and no which side is telling the truth, kind of, and which side isn't.
But it's actually getting harder and harder.
and harder.
Now, the one story that I thought kind of exemplified this better than anything else.
And I'm sure Bernie hates it too because money's coming into the Trump family is the truth social
API.
And, you know, being a guy who's kind of familiar with all this stuff, I'm like, this doesn't seem
right.
We just have a couple of clips on this.
The first being from the senator from your area, good old.
Chris Murphy.
Oh, that guy.
This guy can spew more falsehoods and mistruths in a short time than anybody.
I mean, right now, I think he may be at the top of the game.
May I add my specialty?
He wears a rug.
He does.
He wears a, his hair is not his own.
It's like the lid on a coffee pot.
It's so bad.
We have learned this over the past few years of Planet Rage.
Larry's superpower is being able to tell if a guy is wearing a,
wig or not. And that, if you've heard all those, the favorite John C. DeVore eclipse, you know,
one of them was he claimed Adam Curry wore a wig back in the MTV days. What say you, Larry?
I mean, we have a spot. No, no. I know the real deal. And even that big hair, which that's an easy
fake. You know, the more it is that's, you know, no, that's, that's all his. But just for you to know,
Mamdami, absolutely wears a rug. Nobody knows that. And though he denies it, ran
Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes. I drive people crazy. They watch a show up my house and I freeze the damn TV to stand up and point at the follicles and say, look, here's the glue. Can you see that? Yeah, I'm really insane about that.
Are you happy this is your superpower? I am. I am. People hate me everywhere for it, but I don't care. I enjoy doing it. It's like a kazoo player. You know, you want to get rid of them, but you can't.
Oh, here is Senator Chris Murphy on the Truth Social API.
Donald Trump just announced that he is setting up an insider trading information subscription service.
If you pay Donald Trump.
Okay.
Again, I want to be clear, nobody's paying Donald Trump.
They're paying truth social, which Donald Trump has in a trust.
His family owns part or most of truth socially may have the controlling still.
But this is not Donald Trump.
the person doing this,
this is an entity
which his family has control over.
Now, there is legally a difference
and I think being a senator,
Chris Murphy,
knows that.
But again, he wants you,
the listener,
to believe that Donald Trump
is doing something corrupt.
Of course he does.
Donald Trump.
$100,000
a month, he will give you early access to the announcements he's making regarding federal policy,
early access to information about tariffs, early access to information about the Iran war,
early access to information about what country he's bombing.
Now, I just want to point out to everybody that when he's saying early access with an API
into a social media platform, he's not talking about.
you getting Donald Trump's post and they're saying they're packaging up the top 10 accounts
on truth social, which I'm guessing Donald Trump has to be the number one, but it's the top
10 accounts on truth social that you will get access to their posts. It will be fed to you
rather than you having to scrape it, using your own AI, sitting, having an employee do nothing
but sit there and just hit refresh on Donald Trump or whoever's post that you want.
So the reality on this is when they say you're getting this information early,
it's hundreds or thousands of seconds earlier than everybody else,
not even minutes.
And I think that is a big, big detail.
100 grand for what period?
Month a year?
Yeah.
For a month?
That's incredible.
Because AI, baby, this is a trader.
You know, these people that work in the stock market,
they have automated systems, I'm sure,
watching Donald Trump's post.
And if they see something that is, you know, good,
that oil is going to be going up,
well, then buy this or sell this.
And it's set up to do it automatically.
And in that case, being a few thousands of a second faster,
might actually be a lot of money.
but this this is not getting private information that other people don't get but i i'm still not
understanding why anybody who's got that kind of money would figure it was worth it for a millisecond
advance on the knowledge i mean because you know who could possibly type in that bet to polymarket or
you know it's all banks it's stock or whatever huh it's banks and stock traders that have this stuff
set to automatically fire. So if you're the first one, if you see Donald Trump says something and you're
like, oh boy, XYZ corporation's about to go under. Well, if you're the first ones to sell off that stock
before everybody else does, it's a weird world. It's absolutely a weird world. And it's hard to wrap
your brain around the fact that getting information just a split second, literally, possibly under a
second quicker is worth paying that kind of money for.
But it's also a direct hoseout.
Anybody that uses social media understands you are requesting to see those messages.
And if you have a notification set to come out to you, if somebody makes a post,
usually that's not instantaneous.
You've got the post.
It's going to take 30 seconds or 60 seconds for it to even notice somebody you're following
that you have a notification set.
So it could be a couple of minutes later
that you're seeing somebody posted it.
This is the direct fire hose out.
Anytime any of these accounts post anything,
it's going directly to the people that will pay.
And it is an ungodly amount of money,
$100,000.
That's impressive.
Per month.
I mean, God bless capitalism, right, Bernie?
Yeah.
Next.
This is a criminal syndicate
that he is running out in the,
open. But it's not a criminal. I mean, I think eventually some of this is actionable as far as
what these folks say. I think you're completely right. And if I was the Donald, I back away from this.
I think he's loading the guns for them. Possibly, yes. Just getting them to say exactly what you know
they're going to say. Trump, the arrangement syndrome is real. Yeah. It is illegal to make money off of
inside information. But this is an inside.
information. Everybody's getting it. This is just a split second faster. So it's not. And again,
so again, miss totally a senator from the great state of Connecticut intentionally telling you
something that's not true. The rug wearing senator from Connecticut. I'll have to add that into his
bio. And of course, what he left out is, you know, let's not forget how truth social was established. Trump
had been blocked from all social media because they just didn't like him.
So he said, well, screw you.
I'm starting my own.
And he did.
So good for him.
And I will also point out that X has an API very similar to this.
Oh, do they?
So I'm guessing that perhaps even the blue skies, I don't know I would have to do a little
more research, but I know for sure X has one.
That's very similar.
This is for companies that want to get information at a break.
breakneck speed where even the shortest amount of time makes a difference. And for everybody
using these social media platforms, understand that the way they survive is certainly not on
the puny ads that you're seeing. No. This is how they survive. They have corporate clients that
pay big bucks for access to that information. And it's not illegal. It is not insider trading.
It's not what it's being portrayed here by Senator Murphy as at all.
Donald Trump is literally setting up a formal process by which you can pay him a bribe in exchange for information that no one else has.
No one else will have for at least one one thousandth of a second.
This guy's nuts.
Oh, he's a weasel.
$100,000 a month. Big billion dollar corporations have that money. And when they have advanced notice of a tariff announcement, they can place bets on the market to be able to make millions of dollars. Well, ordinary Americans who cannot pay him for inside information get screwed. None of this is normal. A lot of this is illegal. And I will just say to companies,
out there. And I will just ask
Senator Chris Murphy, which parts of this is
are illegal? And I explain what the
legal statutes are that you are claiming
it's ill. I love this is another
tell when
people just throw out things like that. Oh,
much of this is illegal. Well, if you actually
knew any rational
person would be like, well, he just did
this and this by according to this law
is against the law.
But no, they never do that.
Yeah.
If you choose to take part in this scheme and it proves to be illegal as it looks on its face,
you are going to eventually be held accountable.
So if you even take part, we're going to get this again is the Democrats way, isn't it?
When we get back in charge, if you pay Donald Trump this money that we say is illegal,
I mean, but it's not, but we're going to say it's illegal.
But then when we get back in power, oh, you're going to be held accountable.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
That seems like a threat.
It's always a threat.
Right?
Yeah.
And this was covered by, I don't think he's listening live right now, Sir Bemrose's favorite pundit out there.
We may need a jingle.
This is the leftist talking head, David Packman, who's also been proven to be taking, what, $80,000 a month from some leftist group to.
I thought it was eight.
8.0?
Eight.
Eight.
I mean, it was eight.
You're right.
He's not worth 80.
He's not in the Trump League.
Not yet.
No.
He can't afford the API access.
No.
Donald Trump is putting the presidency up for sale.
Ooh, how do you buy the presidency, I ask?
Hmm.
And Wall Street firms willing to pay $100,000 a month may get to cut the line.
Let me explain this.
Trump can announce a tariff.
He can announce a sanction or a war.
And it instantly moves financial markets.
And now a company benefiting his family wants to sell traders earlier access to the announcements.
Okay, at least give Pac-win credit over Chris Murphy and the fact that he said it's a company controlled by his family, not the president.
Yes. Listen to this grift and corruption.
Trump media, which owns Truth Social,
has unveiled something called the Truth API.
And what it'll do is deliver posts from 10 influential truth social accounts,
including potentially Donald Trump's,
to banks and trading firms faster than ordinary users get them.
And according to Reuters, the company is looking at charging $100,000 a month.
If that seems steep, they've got a special offer.
If you do a three-year deal, they'll do it for $60,000 a month.
Now, you might say,
Darren, let's get in on that.
It's only $60 a month.
Come on, pony up.
It's a bargain.
We can get Donald Trump's post in right into our desktop in real time.
Yes.
There's almost no one on truth social.
It's such a stupid platform.
Why would anyone pay more than a million dollars a year to see Trump's posts a little bit early?
Because for high-frequency traders, milliseconds can mean millions of dollars.
Because these firms are using computers.
Everything is computer, as Trump says.
These firms are using computers.
to execute massive trades almost instantly.
And so if their computers learn about a market moving announcement,
even a fraction of a second before anybody else,
they could buy or sell whatever is going to be affected
before the price reflects everyone knowing that.
And that he's right about.
And the reality with the AI systems now
are that these trades can be set up in a way
that are nearly instantaneous.
I mean, you're not going to,
to have a human being probably able to do anything to verify that the AI is interpreting what
is said correctly, which also is kind of funny because I would think that if Donald Trump has a
typo in one of his posts that says, I am doing something instead of I'm not doing, well, then you can
have all sorts of money get lost really quick because an AI is not going to be smart enough
because they don't think to know exactly what the original intent was.
So that could be something else moving forward that can be a huge deal.
A typo now can be a very, that is obvious.
And it can be a typo that's obvious to you and me.
And every human being that is reading it.
But will a computer be able to figure that out?
And this is where I've been asking for years,
both listening to Adam and John here on No Agenda,
doing the show with you,
listening to Bill O'Reilly,
all of these new sources,
listening to these David Pacman clips,
listening to the Midas Touch guys.
I know Adam and John played clips from them
that are running a non-stop fire hose.
of lies, misinformation, and it comes on both sides.
There's a lot of the crazy alt-right people as well
that are throwing things out there that aren't exactly true.
And I'm like, what is the point of this?
And yes, there's a two-day effect,
which is people are reading it
and they are getting spun up for one reason or another.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not,
but getting people angry, as we know,
gets people engaged.
Oh, yeah.
I realize that immediately on X
because I rarely interact on X.
I'm like, it's kind of a waste of time.
But a couple of weeks ago,
I just decided to throw a snide comment.
Oh.
I know.
It's so hard to believe.
I think it was that J.B. Pritzker's account
or one of these type things.
And all of a sudden,
my timeline went all liberal politicians
and liberal pundits. It's like, this is magic.
Yeah, it is. Those algos are pretty good.
The algos are real. And that's the today part of this.
But it's getting more and more obvious to me.
And thank you, Adam Curry and Johnson DeVorek for making my amygdala the right size
and always looking for the reasons underneath, the reasons behind,
the reasons in the shadows.
And I'm realizing now all of these things,
are recorded.
They're going down.
They're on the internet.
Yes.
Which is what all of these AI systems are using
to gather their information to decide what's real.
And I think there is a very big possibility
that so much of this stuff is being thrown out there
because the major opinion that the AI sees when it goes to scrape the data is going to be the one that it's most likely going to believe.
So if there's like 50 people yelling this.
Yes, yes, yes.
Three people yelling the other thing?
It's like, well, who's the AI going to pay attention to?
Of course.
Of course that's why they're doing it.
So this is why the blanketing of information, I believe, is ramping up even.
even more so than it has been.
It will be a constant avalanche 24-7.
By the way, I have some advice for Donald Trump in case he's listening,
because we do know that people do listen to this show.
They won't admit it, but they do.
Donate Donald Trump.
Yeah, donate.
And, you know, just make sure right after every entry you make
where it says, thank you for attention to this matter,
then your subscript should definitely be a disclaimer.
Truth Social is not responsible for any financial gain or loss.
you mean experience because of this API.
Just get that done.
Get that done.
It is a very weird world where you will pay that much for access to information a split
second sooner.
And you know companies are going to do it.
I mean, I don't know if they're going to disclose how many companies are doing it.
But I would bet that's going to be a moneymaker for them.
Could be.
Or could be a financial disaster.
We'll see.
Stay tuned.
Right.
And of course, there's a lot of, with AI, that is truly the question right now.
Is AI going to hit a bubble?
I think it is at some point as people realize exactly what it is.
And the whole open AI getting out of the sandbox thing, well, that was the subject here of a NBC news clip.
Well, let's break that down because you're talking about.
about this as sort of a rogue incident. That has a connotation to it that for like,
I'm sort of like a self-described AI Dumer where I say something like this and I'm like,
oh, man, these things are out of the box already. But what's the reality check on that?
Well, let me counter back. Okay. Also, horrible question. What's the reality check on that?
Well, why do we just go back and count the cliches he used in those three sentences out of the box?
I mean, it's, I want to hear that again. It's one, one cliche after another when this guy speaks.
Well, let's break that down because you talk about this. That's one.
Break it down. We're breaking it down, everybody.
Break it down.
Sort of a rogue incident.
That has a connotation to it.
For like, I'm sort of like a self-described AI
Dumer where I say something like this and I'm like,
oh man, these things are out of the box already.
Out of the box. That's too.
What's the reality check on that?
What's the reality check?
We have no reality.
That's the check. Sorry about that.
Well, let me counterbalance them the Dumerism, right?
This is a really exciting time.
And in particular, in our research at Sentinel 1,
what we figured out is these.
new models like GPD 5.6 soul and mythos, what they have is a new emergent capability to do
long horizon work, which unlocked some very powerful things for cybersecurity, for defensive use
cases, and also for attacks. But keep in mind, right, when you say something like these models
went rogue, that implies something that's not quite accurate, right? They had turned off the guard
rails. They had turned everything off precisely because this is the kind of benchmark we want to run.
They ran an experiment to see if they would go rogue and in fact they did.
Well, just to see how well they could.
That's part of the intelligence game is how good are they at finding vulnerabilities.
But those vulnerabilities were there to begin with.
Which is something that you have not heard pointed out by the people that are trying to
sow the fear over this AI, which is this wasn't really in a close sandbox.
What you're really seeing is that this was a.
user problem the company took, you know, they set this up in order for this to happen.
This, all of these stories, including one of the earliest ones, which was like, well, when an
AI was told it was going to be shut off it, to decided to blackmail the, you know, the coder
because it had access to his email and it was all set up.
Yeah.
You know, it's like this is all a game and they're seeing what these systems can do and they're
moving from being a one-step AI, which is the chatbots that you could just ask a simple
question, it gives you an answer, and then it's done.
Yes.
These newer systems are set to kind of daisy chain and can do multiple things, which if you
set them up the right way, can be great.
But it's also, I mean, I think most people listening to no agenda understand what a script
Kitty is in the hacking world, which is.
I don't know what the hell that is.
I have no idea.
You're an anti-Ben.
I guess I am.
It's true.
There are already a bunch of software packages out there.
There are resources online which show you how to be a hacker.
So basically, your hacking skills are you get a little app, little program from somebody,
a little script, and you run it.
And that is the majority of what your hacking skills are.
Now, for a company or a computer system that is well protected, that's not going to work.
But if somebody just threw something out there and there was no protection on it whatsoever,
the information on how to be a hacker exists on the internet.
So, of course, an AI is going to have access to that information.
And what do they call it a kiddie script?
It's a, well, is it me how?
Can I tell you?
It's a script kitty.
It's a, because this is where the real hackers would make fun of these low-level kids that are using scripts.
They became the script kiddies.
Oh, kitty with two Ds.
I thought it was T, T, T, T, Y.
Yes.
Thank you.
And I think this is a moment where we're seeing.
The emperor has no clothes.
Vulnerability is rampant.
And we need to figure out how to leverage AI in defensive ways in ways that are not obvious.
Who's the we in that sentence, right?
Because, I mean, I covered Congress for a long time.
Do you see the federal government, our state governments?
Like, is anyone up to the regulatory challenge here?
There's no such thing as they're just being like a single body that's going to sort this out.
But regulation is definitely an important part of this.
Again, one that we need to be careful about because of the amount of fear mongering that's going into this.
There's a game for regulatory capture.
There's a lot of interest that are sort of playing in between.
In reality for cybersecurity, what you'd want to be looking at is something like software liability more so than a kill switch.
Right, you need some adult supervision here, but it has to be sophisticated.
Yeah, because adults are the ones that know how, uh, what they're doing.
And again, there are so many things out in the wild.
Yeah.
There is no way to put kill switches on the software that's already been released.
There's no putting the genies back in the bottle.
Good.
And the hell with adult supervision too.
Right.
because, hey, we've seen enough here outside of Shirek with all of the teen takeovers,
which are not, of course, mob actions, according to the mayor of Chicago.
Yeah.
Do your parents know where your kids are?
They don't.
Sam Altman was asked about the safety.
Of course, he's the head of Open AI.
And, yeah, he just kind of shrugs.
Open AI CEO, Sam Altman was on the hill today to preview their new business model,
their new models, where Fox business reporter Darren Betelow asked him about this.
Do you plan to talk to the Trump administration White House about deceleration of AI development?
I wouldn't use the word deceleration, but we've talked about the need to pace it as the models get more capable, which I think isn't everyone's interest.
Could there be other systems that were hacked by Open AI?
I mean, there could be, yeah.
I mean, there could be.
Is it de-sumerating? Is that correct?
No, I mean, that's the problem.
Okay.
You're dealing with something as I always like to harp on with a lot of these things.
Work on AI is going on worldwide.
So if every company in the United States is like, hey, hey, hey, we're going to slow everything down by 33% magic number or more.
Yeah.
Do you think they're going to do that in China?
No.
They're going to do more with coal.
Yes.
And I'm in favor of that.
Yeah.
Well, what did I see the other day?
We have like 600 years of fossil fuels at our capacity.
So why are we worried?
And that's just West Virginia.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Things that politicians do because they don't know what they're doing.
That's why politicians getting involved in AI is somewhat laughable.
The shrug that tells a thousand stories here.
This comes as more than 1,100 staffers from across top.
AI firms have signed a petition calling on the government to help deliberately pace AI development
because it's just advancing too fast.
I don't know what that means.
Deliberately pace.
I want to see how that's implemented.
That's quite a statement.
Deliberately pace.
Okay.
Being that again, we are in a capitalist society for a while.
That the company or the person, I mean, whoever comes up with the best product is going
to make the money.
Not always.
But in this case,
beta was better than VHS.
Well, you got a better picture,
but you could put longer amounts of...
You got one more hour tape on it,
but it wasn't worth it.
It was crap.
I still have a stereo beta mix
somewhere in the basement, man,
I'm telling you.
Yeah.
They were great for recording
concerts back in the day.
Yeah, yeah.
But this is a total,
just idiotic take
that we can slow
down what the AI is doing now.
I mean, you can, but again, nobody else is going to slow down.
And using these alleged the AI got out of the box stories, it's not true as we have here
from a France 24.
Wow, the French actually got something right.
Wow.
They talk about how these incidents that happened were not.
not just AIs going rogue, but they were, you know, more of a game that was put into the AI to solve a problem.
After two of the world's biggest AI companies revealed their models had hacked computer systems during testing.
Anthropic Thursday said its Claude AI model hacked the systems of three organizations.
After more than 141,000 evaluations, it revealed,
Each incident involved a different fictional capture-the-flag scenario.
For example, in one, Claude played an employee of a made-up company,
attacking that company's internal systems inside a private test environment.
The disclosure comes just days after rival OpenAI revealed one of its AI agents
carried out a days-long hacking campaign during testing exercises.
The company says the bot targeted AI developer hugging face
and multiple publicly available services.
President, in light of advanced chat GBT AI models escaping their lab and conducting cyber attacks,
are you considering stronger controls on AI and would you consider negotiating regulations?
We're looking at AI, we're looking at controls, we're also making sure that we lead.
The incidences come as government's race to keep up with the technology.
On Saturday, the President's AI executive order is due after federal agencies were given 60 days
to design a voluntary safety framework for advanced AI.
developers.
On Sunday, the European Union goes
even further, enforcing most
of its landmark AI Act,
the world's first comprehensive
legislation governing artificial intelligence.
I think you've got a fetish for this hugging face thing,
Darren. I'm starting to worry about you.
And by the way, can we get that funky music to play
under everything we say?
A whole show.
Friends, I think they need
that to make the news more interesting.
But they're saying, hey, they're worried.
about falling behind in the AI.
Well, no way.
I thought we were supposed to be slowing down the AIs.
And again, the open AI thing, according to a Wired article I read, which I don't always believe
wired, but this was more user error.
And when this happened, it was part of a new system, not the regular AI.
It had intentionally left the guardrails, whatever that.
That means for each AI, it intentionally left those off and then put it out there to see what it can do.
And basically you were asking, though, what can it do?
And the AI world is going to be both great and horrible for network and computer security because it's going to make it very easy to find the vulnerabilities with that said.
then the people writing the software
should be able to fix
those vulnerabilities. So
is anybody out there cooking up a virus
that will destroy AI? Because I want to
donate to their fund.
If your buddy McAfee was still around, he would probably
be doing that. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
I would love to see that happen. It's really,
this whole A-I thing is really starting to bug me.
And I want there to be someone out there to destroy it,
to just immolate it.
Well, because it's everywhere. You can't
call. I called up Comcast. My parents modem blew out. So I went in, got a new modem at
Walmart. Because I mean, screw Comcast. And when to go set it up in the old days, you called
them up on the phone. You said, hey, tech support. Great. Real person. Here's the Mac address.
It's done. Yeah. Now it's an AI who says, you have to go to the app. It's like, well, I didn't
have my cell phone. I didn't have an app. I couldn't do it. It's insane that you can't get
real person, but more and more, anywhere you call.
You get to talk to an AI.
Yeah.
And really, it's infuriating.
The fix for that is there was a great sci-fi horror novel.
Long time ago, I read it when I was in college.
I think the title was something like telephoned with a European spelling,
T-E-L-E-F-O-N.
And the premise was some dude figured out a way to rocket, like, 9,000 amps through a phone line.
Yeah.
And so he could just call anybody.
and blow their head up.
That's a great game.
Right?
That's what I want somebody to figure out that for AI.
And he can send it to one of Mr. Wonderful's data centers,
you know, the one that covers the entire state of Rhode Island.
And just boom.
Oh, it's gone.
Even Willie Nelson's against data centers.
Is he?
Yeah.
It's like there's a lot of misunderstanding there as well.
I mean, I really don't, I'm just bored with it all.
I'm just so bored.
It's like,
When will this go away?
Well, it totally destroyed any other news on the tech and computer.
Yes.
That whole sector's gone.
Hard drives are out of control price-wise.
It's insane.
Yeah, some friends of mine from L.A., their son is dating an only fan's chick.
She's like 21 years old and her income is $2 million a year.
I can see that.
And then she'll soon just like take a, you know,
know, a video of herself and then just give it to an AI and then it'll just make the content while
she's off doing whatever she wants to. I guess. Yeah. And she isn't even allegedly, I mean,
I haven't seen, but supposedly she's not doing nude stuff. It's just suggestive, you know,
bikini shots and so forth. And so like that's, that's interesting tech talk, really.
Well, I know Sir Gene likes to get mentioned on the show.
Mention him. He likes to watch somebody just do cooking. And again, no, no R-rated. He's just
watch somebody cook. Does it have to be Russian food? Maybe. Maybe it does. But just a couple more
little clips here on the AI. This is Anthropics saying it was a testing failure. Not a rogue AI.
Just a testing failure. Warning. God. Kate Rooney has a lot more for us on. Man, these stories,
they get me a little worried, Kate. I don't know about you. David, it is the takeaway. I think this is
adding to a lot of the worry around AI. And as you mentioned, it's the latest cybersecurity issue.
in AI. Anthropic now says it found three cases where its AI agent Claude accidentally hacked
real companies during what was supposed to be cybersecurity testing. Anthropic didn't say which
companies were involved, but it does argue that this was an issue with the setup for these tests.
So the AI model, according to Anthropics, they said that they thought it was in a closed environment.
So they thought they were essentially attacking a simulated target. Turns out that was not the case.
These were real companies. Anthropic does argue the incidents were.
were the result of a testing environment failure and researchers basically left a door open and all that.
They claim it wasn't AI going rogue or breaking out here. Anthropics said they started this,
quote, retrospective review after Open AI's incident last week. They say they ran 141,000
evaluations as part of that and then encouraged other companies to go out and check their own AI agents as a result.
This was all kicked off by Open AI in a separate and in some ways similar issue just last week.
Yeah, art imitating life.
Anybody old enough to remember the War Games movie with Matthew Broderick and Ali Sheedy in it?
I remember the movie, but I never saw it.
Tell me about it.
I mean, as a nerd back in the day, I was, that was the best movie ever.
What was it about?
It's a kid that dials in, because he has a modem that does magical things.
I like this.
I like this.
This is good.
Keep going.
And it goes and it looks for numbers and answer is a computer.
and then he thought he was hacking into a game system.
It turns out it was the Pentagon and he was playing with the computer, the Whopper,
which the W-O-P-R.
I mean, not a Burger King thing, no, believe it or none.
Okay.
And this was the computer that the government was using to run war gaming strategies.
So it was, you know, one of these things were like, well, if we launched the first nuke,
then this is what's going to happen if they launched the first nuke.
If this happened, all it did was the play-by-play in its imaginary world,
what would happen if all of these war-type things happen?
And what would the response be?
This was kind of like playing games of chess over and over and over again.
I like it.
And the reality was this kind of sounds like exactly this,
which is, oh, well, the computer thought this was real,
so it was acting as though it were real.
So maybe AI will self-destruct,
whether it's sentient or not,
it just seems to be attacking other systems and stuff.
Well, yeah, the AIs will probably all end up fighting each other.
Good. Good.
Which maybe one will win or none will win.
And CNBC also does talk a little bit about the script kitties.
No, OpenAI reportedly deactivated one of the models.
So that's off.
But for an open source model, there's no telling who.
who and where and how many times that model has been downloaded.
So there's no way to deactivate.
There's no sort of kill switch that is even possible.
Is that right?
That's absolutely right.
And what's more concerning about it,
and what this is actually done is, you know,
our security programs were designed to handle
the normal amount of thresholds of hackers out there.
So if you look at hackers, let's just say, you know,
98% of them are, you know, generally skilled hackers
but they're not super elite.
Well, what's happened with models is it now, you know,
creates that 98%
of just average hackers and makes them elite hackers.
And now you have a much higher population of elite hackers that are able to breach systems.
And these models are very, very good.
And they, they have, you know, study offensive capabilities.
In fact, my book was, I got a class action lawsuit for my Metasploy book that I wrote.
And Anthropic used to train its own models to figure out how to hack better.
And so these models are really selective on offensive capabilities.
And there's no way to track it.
Anybody can download it.
And literally, you know, you can be a kid out of high school that has barely
touch the computer, just played video games, and say, hey, I want you to hack this company.
And if you have it set up properly, it'll start hacking that company for you.
Can you feel the fear coming off of those clips?
Any kid just out of high school could just download some software.
Did you, were there police sirens in the back?
Okay, that's a good nap pop.
And I got to tell you, they used a phrase that just whipsawed my head with attention.
Okay, it's a perfect hit movie logline.
No way to stop it.
When I hear that, no kill switch.
No kill switch.
I like that just as good, maybe better.
No kill switch.
This is good.
This is where I like to see AI going.
Self-destruction, yes.
And again, I know I harp on it, but the fact is what people are accessing with Claude and ChatGPT online is available at home on your desktop, maybe slightly less capable of models.
But you have full control.
So all of this, oh, no, we're going to be able to put guardrails on the AI.
That is a pipe dream.
Not going to happen.
It is more imaginary than reality.
And there's one last clip here on the AI.
Because, you know, if you're going to use AI for something, Larry, you may as well give
it a really good use.
Okay.
You've heard the term catfishing as popularized in the MTV reality series, Catfish.
Sometimes a little bit of fiction.
Wow.
Catfish curveball leads to a whole lot of reality.
Where people craft fake online personas to mislead others, particularly when it comes to dating and romance.
And now, some dating app users say potential matches are enlisting the help of AI chatbots to help them flirt and communicate, labeling it chat fishing.
The more I read it, the more I was like, this just makes less and less sense.
This doesn't make sense in the context of a real human conversation.
27-year-old Brianna Dobson said she was messaging with the connection,
made on a dating app when she says the texts felt off.
I got a couple red flags from it, but I was like, okay.
I know. Can you imagine the text felt off.
There was a lot of EM dashes.
There was a lot of very weird language.
And I mean, people, I guess, don't understand that your speaking and your writing has a certain
style.
Were these one-handed text, do you think?
No, I think this was lazy dudes.
Oh, okay.
who didn't want to have to spend the time conversing with the women on whatever dating site this was.
That's insulting.
And decided that it would just set up their AI.
And this isn't hard to do.
Again, you can do this with an AI on your desk where it can check your emails.
It can check whatever.
And then respond.
So it was just trying to get, which is hilarious when you think about it.
It is funny.
Because you could have a conversation go back and forth.
it'd be like, oh, well, we'll ask her, you know, what kind of music she likes and food.
And then, you know, if she doesn't match these three or four things, well then, you know, move on to the next one.
But coaster.
Right.
But how lazy do you have to be for an AI to have to take over your interaction?
Then how do you know that the woman, I mean, this goes both ways.
But how do you know the person on the other side isn't using A?
And this could be two AIs talking to each other.
That's a cool concept.
Uh-huh.
there's no, I mean, bot traffic right now on the internet.
They believe, and it's so hard to get a real number on this,
but they believe that bot traffic now is outpacing.
Real human being traffic.
So there's more.
This was like when YouTube first came to be and they're like,
oh my God, you see how much bandwidth YouTube is taking?
Now it's all the bots.
And they might just be trying to find a love connection between the two,
bots, I guess.
Incredible.
When she says, the texts felt off.
I got a couple red flags from it, but I was like, okay, maybe this is just, maybe they're
socially awkward or they just communicate very formally.
So I entertained it.
And the second message I got was so obviously AI generated.
So that would be a really big tell for people used to using text speak.
If all of a sudden you're like, yes, madam, hello, how are you this evening?
Come on.
Suddenly it's Jeeves.
Uh-huh.
Exactly.
Maybe she likes Jeeves.
I don't know.
The second message I got was so obviously AI generated.
So Dobson decided to call them out.
The switchup was crazy.
The just change in the way that he talked.
And he doubled down.
He absolutely doubled down.
Even though his texting style completely changed everything.
66-year-old Lainey Rada says,
well, she's found success in the past on dating.
apps. A recent date admitted during an in-person meeting that they used AI to chat with her online.
I thought it was strange as far as like I wouldn't do that. I've always pride myself on being
authentic. So if I'm going to meet somebody, you have to show up. You have to show up in every way.
Relationship experts say that while chatbots can be a helpful tool for expression, transparency is
key for fostering genuine connections. Be honest. You know, be honest with the person.
in and just let them know that you are a little bit uncomfortable with communicating and that you're relying on AI to help.
But I feel like honesty is always because if you have the mask, the mask is going to eventually fall off.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
Is that even worse?
Yeah, I think it is.
So instead of just using AI, not saying anything about it and be like, oh, I'm really not good at, you know, talking or communicating.
so can you talk to this AI and see if you're interested in me?
Yeah.
Too much, man, the world.
It's so sad.
I'm so glad I missed this crap when I was dating.
It was so much fun, really, in retrospect,
how to think about walking into some meat market bar
and walking up to some babe and just starting to see if you can make it roll.
Nobody has that thrill anymore.
I can't imagine stroking a phone, you know, to meet somebody.
What?
What?
How can I don't.
Well, it's leading to all sorts of problems, even outside of the AI, but you add AI in.
And you're just asking for trouble between the different scams.
I mean, guys get hit all the time.
Women do, too.
That was the one story where the woman thought she was having a relationship with Brad Pitt,
who somehow convinced her to send them money.
Like, oh my goodness, this little phone in the pocket.
But a lot of this is going down.
down to the younger generations and I'm with you.
I am glad we miss this.
Yeah.
I am glad we didn't have cell phones as kids.
The Brad Pitt thing isn't that illogical.
I'll tell you why.
I remember when I was living in L.A.
This is before I was married.
There was a club a couple miles from my house called,
a great name, the Pelicans Retreat.
And it was right off the Ventura Highway.
And it was some big mansion that some guy said,
hey, we'll make this into a club, you know?
So it had like a bunch of rooms and fireplaces and two stages and bands.
And it was a happening place.
Got a lot, quite a crowd.
And so one night I'm in there, and I'm bellying up to the bar and I looked to my left and who's right beside me, but Kelsey Grammer.
Ooh.
Yeah.
The rare conservative in L.A.
Exactly.
And I think this was probably before, I think it was just like a kind of a big deal with cheers.
I don't know if his own show had broken yet or maybe it was early in that stage, whatever.
But I was like shocked, you know.
and I'm watching him
and he's kind of doing what I'm doing
he's looking around eyeing these chicks
and so struck up this conversation
and then I said finally said hey man
like you're kind of a big TV star
what are you here? Why are you doing what I'm
doing?
It's what works.
Yeah and he says you know it's not easy as you might
think and he says come on you probably got a fan club
you got all kinds of stuff
He's not quite like that, you know.
And I actually saw him a couple more times there.
So I knew he wasn't conning me, you know, wasn't zooming me.
It was actually this is his what was like.
And I guess that's true as well.
There was a great story going back about 10 years.
And some, like, I think she was a phone sex operator or something.
And somehow she got a hold of the numbers of De Niro, several big.
big time movie stars and started just kind of, you know, audio stroking them.
And her name was something like, wasn't Minerva or Miranda?
Might have been Miranda.
Yeah.
And I don't think that she was ever revealed who she was,
but she conned several, several of these guys into like meetups and stuff.
And they were, you know, as big as it got in Hollywood.
So there.
You have to be careful who's on the other end of the phone.
Now it's the internet.
You never know.
You never know.
But this is a clip.
Sorry.
It's an AI voice.
reading an article, but it was better than nothing.
There was a Gen Z study done.
And this kind of rolls right into that because Gen Z is not fans of going out to loud, crowded places.
Like, you know, bars like you're talking about.
And I mean, you've got kids that are around this age.
I don't know what their interactions are and what they do and what their friends do.
They tell me nothing, Darren.
They don't tell me a goddamn thing.
That's smart.
As far as the kids, you're right.
Especially with me.
You're right.
There's a good reason for their actions.
You know, don't say, don't tell Larry anything about what you're doing.
No.
But it's a completely different world now than when you and I were in our 20s.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Harris poll found that 68% of Gen Z adults agree that going out these days isn't worth the damage it does to my wallet.
On top of that, 62% percent.
of Gen Ziers avoid making weekend plans because they don't want to experience financial regret
afterward. Rather, they stay home to save money and use that spare money on necessities and bills.
The pressures go beyond finances. Social experiences play a part as well.
Osiecki said, quote, going out has become genuinely costly, and the traditional social formats,
loud, crowded, alcohol-centered, are increasingly unappealing to this generation.
The Harris poll found roughly 9 and 10 gensiers are actively opting out of nightlife staples,
with 39% saying they actively avoid large group hangouts, and 38% saying they avoid loud, crowded spaces.
Instead, they are looking to make social plans that cost less and ask less.
Alas, these financial strains and quieter social life desires usher in increased loneliness.
Oseki told Strait Arach, quote,
this is the most connected generation in history, but also the loneliest.
That tension is striking, and it deserves more attention than it's getting.
The Harris poll found that more than half of Gen Z adults experience weekend loneliness,
the highest rate of any generation.
Oseki said, quote,
Loneliness at this scale has consequences that go well beyond the weekend.
It affects mental health, community, civic participation, and long-term well-being.
Many members of the youngest generation of adults want to be social,
but they struggle to find social environments they want to be in.
In fact, 85% of those polled have already found workarounds to be social at a lower cost.
Meanwhile, 62% wish their online friendships turned into real-world plans,
and 71% feel like they're missing out on in-person experience that older generations had.
That's just so bizarre to me.
Yeah.
I don't know if I believe anybody named that.
Oceki. I would advise those people to take the advice of the village people and join the YMCA.
Well, that was my question when it, because there was a twofold thing that came out in this Harris
hole, which was pretty much the younger generation doesn't know how to interact outside of their
phone. Yes, that's true. And that they have no money to go out. And I don't know.
If that's overall the case, I've got, you know, a few nieces and nephews and they're all doing
way better than I am. So I don't understand who the average. There's also a lot of things
you can do that doesn't cost a lot of money. Everybody gets together hanging out if you have an,
if you live in an area where there's a nice beach in the summer, they just hang out and sit by a fire.
You know, there's a lot of things you can do, even if it's going to a bar. I mean, you can,
could just buy one soft drink. You don't have to drink kids. This is true. I don't know what the cover
chargers are these days. It might be exorbitant. Depends on the bar, I suppose, but. Yeah. I think
they're blowing all their money on expensive phones and lattes. They should cut back on that crap.
And they're AI so they can talk to other people. They're doing Trump's 100 grand a month. That's what it is.
Yeah. I got to get my information from the Donald so I know when to buy my stocks.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know we're from a different generation, but Gen Ziers, I mean, right in.
Let me know if this is really overall, why are the Gen Zers making money?
I thought everything's great.
All the minimum wages have been raised to $5 million a year.
I mean, it's, I'm not really sure where the big money part comes from.
And then along with that, I don't understand why they can't find.
reasonable ways to go out and interact that, oh, we have, we're afraid we might make a financial
decision that is bad. Like, what are you talking about? You really? You're not investing in a mutual
fund. You're buying a drink. Right. I mean, of course, sometimes the drinks are,
are up there. I remember when we were in Ireland. A, we were at a hotel bar. And I guess Randy
Travis and his band had just been through there the night before. And, you know, and the
they drank them out of bush mills.
Oh, wow.
It's, I mean, that takes something.
Yes, it does.
I think I was ordering for a buddy of mine that we're in Ireland and like, oh, give me two double black bush.
And then I got the whole story of how the Randy Travis band had drank them out.
And I'm like, okay, well, what do you got?
And he's like, well, we have the bush mills.
I think it was 16 year.
Oh, McCallon, 24.
Right. I mean, kind of. And I'm like, okay, well, give me two of those. And the guy's like, well, those are like, uh, 54 euro apiece. And I'm like, I've never had a bartender trying to talk to me out of a drink before. So I bought them. And, uh, yeah, because really, you're there. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? But I've never had a bar. That was the only time in my life, a bartender's ever like, do you know how much that is?
A thoughtful bartender. Word about your budget, not his. I suppose the Irish are the nicest people.
ever. I mean, we haven't been there now in too long. I mean, it's been, you know, 15, 18 years, something like that.
Yeah. But that was the one place where if you were standing, it was really a fun thing to do. If you would stand on a fairly busy street corner and like look around like you were confused, it would, if you were going to do that for longer than 30 seconds, somebody was going to come up to you and be like, hey, can I help? That's true. Yes. Yes.
like that was amazing.
Yeah.
And I found they were,
they were so smart because
the average guy doing anything,
you know,
you don't have to find some,
some university professor
wallpapered with degrees
to find somebody who knows
exactly what's going on in the world.
Guys driving forklifts and laying bricks and stuff.
Like everybody in Ireland that I met there
was dialed in and knew what was happening.
It was pretty amazing.
Yeah, they do keep up.
So Iers,
we need more.
Irish. Yeah, more of them. We definitely need more Irish. Now, the other big story that has been going on
is these, I mean, I wanted to say the, it would be like the water gate. I'm like putting out water
gate's already a thing. So it's like water hacking gate, I guess. Water hacking gate. Oh yeah,
you haven't heard about this? This is very interesting. A bunch of water treatment plants
in a Minnesota. I mean, imagine. Oh, stop right there.
Imagine, I mean, how do you think things can go wrong in Minnesota, right?
I mean, it's got such great leadership with Timmy Walls and...
But here's a basic breakdown from ABC News on what happened.
This morning, the FBI and EPA out with a warning to water and wastewater facilities,
alerting them to a surge in cyber attacks.
Companies in at least seven states now reporting incidents to federal authorities.
Some of the operations affected, according to the FBI,
include flooding and loss of pressure, which could potentially allow untreated groundwater to
seep into pipes. The warning comes amid a wide-scale cyber attack, targeting more than 30 water
treatment systems in Minnesota. Authorities have not yet identified who is responsible for the Minnesota
attack, but sources tell us a number of officials suspect Iran-linked hackers may be involved.
Okay, now remember that because then we're going to find out...
We're going to find out why they think that. So just remember, these are the stories and everybody
things, it could be Iran-linked hackers that are going after these water treatment plants and water
facilities in Minnesota, and then there were a few other states that were mentioned as well.
In one case, the hackers were able to actually shut down the flow of water from the well and
water treatment plant in the tiny city of Brom, forcing officials to provide clean water to residents
already stored in its water tower. In a statement, the city says it was,
was informed that there were at least four other communities attacked with the same result.
The city of Maple Plain declaring a local emergency that was in effect for two days, and the city of Plymouth also affected.
One reason officials are suspicious of Iranian involvement.
So far, the hackers are not asking for ransom money.
Instead, they appear to be trying to deny service.
Rebecca?
Yeah, that's the, what is the smoking gun, you might ask, Larry, on why?
Yeah, what's a smoking gun?
What is it?
They didn't ask for any ransom.
That's the reason why we think it's Iran.
I thought this was going to solve the explosive diarrhea syndrome.
No, but I mean, really, if they could get access to it.
This shows also the insanity of governments, especially local governments,
that want things to be super convenient and wire up all of these types of resources
to the internet.
I mean, we've had water treatment plans
in all of this long before the internet existed.
So why are you hooking them up to the internet?
Well, so Joe could sit at home and know if something goes wrong, I guess.
Don't worry.
Once AI is running the water, it'll be fine, Darren.
So just chill out, baby.
We need water AIs.
That's what we need.
Yeah.
But Donald Trump, not buying that it's Iranian hackers.
I'm not either.
Can you rule out that Iran is behind that?
And do you like the question again?
Thank you, mainstream media.
Can you rule out that Iran's behind that?
No, but I can't rule out that you're behind it either.
So welcome to America, baby.
I don't know, I think Minnesota is behind it.
You know who's behind it?
Minnesota, because you're mostly in Tampa to him, yeah.
Right, because it's so badly run as a state.
And he has a valid point.
there again, you want to go right back to what we were talking about with the script kitties
and AI right now. This is the perfect time for people that want to be, want to be hackers
that can do things that they wouldn't have been able to do without the resources that they have
now. And attacking something like a water plant would be one of those things. And again,
why is it hooked up to the internet? Who knows? Yeah. If I want to do something smart,
dose it with LSD. That'll get some interesting.
There's interesting results.
They've tried that before, haven't they?
It was in a movie called, I forget what it was called, but yeah.
It worked out well in the movie.
It was crazy.
Fiction, reality.
It's all the same, Larry.
It is.
Yeah.
I think the governor is not.
I don't think there was an Iranian cyber attack.
I think that Minnesota ought to get its act together.
It's one of the worst run states.
J.D. will tell you.
He found tremendous corruption in Minnesota.
And by the way, this gave me a report.
massive, massive future things having to do with corruption in Minnesota are happening right now.
I like J.D.
He is the ultimate yes man.
He's standing right there.
J.D., I'll tell you, yes, sir.
And it's too damn cold.
In Minnesota.
Yeah.
Don't like it.
And do you really think, I mean, why would you think that hackers, if they were state-sponsored hackers in Iran,
why are you just going after small town water supplies across the U?
I mean,
wouldn't you be looking for something a little bit bigger than that?
Maybe they should look into the Somali fraudsters.
Maybe they got some kind of a scam going there.
That's way more likely,
although then they would be requesting Bitcoin or something like that in order to return
your service back to its fully functioning state.
This is a Fox News, of course, on the same story.
The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say that with certainty.
For years, Iran has targeted U.S. water systems with limited success.
But the mayor of Bram, Minnesota, says starting on Monday, the plant operator realized that the big tower was calling for more water, but the well was not cooperating.
They realized the machinery was receiving power, just not doing what it was supposed to do.
So they investigated and found four neighboring systems were experiencing the same problem.
Plant operators restored backup and overrode systems manually, ultimately 30 communities.
communities were affected, but the disruption to water systems was minimal. Investigators haven't
released many details about the suspected cyber attack, but they say the timing, the method, the access,
and targets are all very similar to what they've seen from Iran before. Now, with aging security
technology, the mayor says whatever happened should serve as a wake-up call. That investment is needed,
and the cyber experts agree with him. Now, one of the reasons investigators are leaning toward
the conclusion that hackers are state actors bent on destruction, no one demanded a range.
as you sometimes see that when a large system comes under attack.
Now, the FBI has confirmed that the Bureau is aware of the incident and is in contact with
the victims to resolve the matter.
Okay, so what did we learn in that news report?
Nothing.
State actors.
Because they didn't ask for any money.
That's the only reason across the board, the only reason we've been given, at least that I've
found, is, well, they haven't asked for any money.
So we have to believe that it's state actors.
And, well, I mean, who else besides Iran would, even though they started out with Iran's been trying to do this?
What was his exact wording here at the beginning?
The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say that with certainty.
For years, Iran has targeted U.S. water systems with limited success.
Okay, so it's been years that they've had limited success, but now, I mean, maybe they have Iran AI, and that's now making their job easier for them.
But for years, they have been unsuccessful at trying to do this.
But now because nobody asked for a ransom, that's their reasoning.
I don't buy it.
Well, I just hope they're more successful because I like seeing Minnesota suffer.
And it's like everything that is state run, everything that is run by small towns,
be very careful if it's connected to the internet.
Make sure, I mean, your IT guy knows change that from admin password.
You know, the default admin and password.
Yeah, you want to change that to something.
One, two, three, four.
Yes, that's very secure.
Do that.
One, two, three, four, five, way more secure.
Yeah, I got it.
They're safe now.
Exactly.
Now, where you want to go next?
Oh, God.
Let me see.
Oh, I got here's something.
This is fun.
There's a guy that's,
running in Michigan, not too far from you, for senatorial seat.
And his name is Abdul El-Said.
Have you heard of this guy?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
And he's getting a lot of press.
And he is, he's a very scary character.
And there's this, this clip has kind of been released again.
It released and wasn't meant to be public.
And it was him talking with some pinhead lefty vocal fry chick in the Senate.
it about his plans.
So it's a two-stage clip.
And the first one, you've got to listen to this broad vocalize before we get to Abdul.
And it's pretty, it's funny.
She's funny.
But when we get to him, he's not funny.
He's scary.
Yeah, hi.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Fran.
I am an environmental staffer in the Senate.
So we're very much looking forward to hopefully having you in the halls of the Senate.
and on the Senate Environmental Justice Caucus,
which one of the staff leads.
Environmental justice.
You got to have justice.
You got to have justice.
Those clouds, the rain, the snow,
we have to justify them.
On the Senate, Environmental Justice Caucus,
which one of the staff leads.
I guess my question,
and this is getting a little bit ahead, of course,
but even if things go very well in November,
we're still looking at two more years
of a Republican presidency.
And I'm curious, you know, I think, you know, all reading your platform on climate environment,
these are all the right things that we should be doing, codifying the endangerment finding,
but we're not going to have the chance to do that for a couple more years.
I'm curious how you see your role on environmental issues.
Stop.
You hear that your role.
Nobody's a job anymore, Darren.
It's your role.
We're all actors, all of us.
We have roles.
Buddy, the last time I went in to see my cardiologist, the,
after getting the best EKG the woman had ever seen.
Yes.
She said your health care provider will be in shortly instead of the doctor will see you.
You're providing.
I don't even since you said health care.
I think she just said, you know, your provider.
Yeah.
I should have gotten up and ran right at that point.
Oh, I'm so with you, man.
Absolutely.
It gets very much out of a dystopian kind of novel.
It's Orwellian.
It absolutely is.
And so this broad, you can hear her just prattle on.
And she does with so many, she should actually be in the mainstream media because she asks a question, but she can't shut her mouth.
So she kind of answers it herself before he can.
And I'm not going to bless anybody for talking too much, bloviating or whatever, blathering.
I mean, pot, kettle, that whole thing, but otherwise.
Should be doing codifying the endangerment finding, but we're not going to have the chance to do that for a couple more years.
I'm curious how you see your role on environmental issues or sort of all the issues that we're, you know, facing more broadly.
going into the next two years of the Trump administration,
how do you sort of plan,
how do you envision yourself using your voice
at a time when, unfortunately,
we're not going to get any policy
off the finish line.
I mean, the best case situation
is that we don't get much policy
with the finish line.
Shut up, lady.
I mean, I've lost it.
Do you believe this?
Let me ask you a question.
Let me answer it for 20 minutes.
I've lost the question.
She said so many things since the question.
I've lost the question.
Exactly.
Now listen to his reply, Darren,
and especially his kickoff for him speaking when he says,
very fun.
This is funny.
The situation is that we don't get much of policy with the finish line
because it's inevitably going to be mostly bad.
So I'm just curious how you see sort of your role
the next couple of years in the Senate.
Yeah, so first thank you for your work,
and I hope we get to work together.
That would be very fun.
Very fun.
That was so heartfelt.
It's going to be very fun.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Very fun.
Yeah, very fun.
Now, before he starts, this guy is, he is a absolute, you know him, but maybe others do not.
He is like a twin brother clone of Mamdami.
I mean, they have very similar faces.
And as he, whenever he speaks, as he speaks, he is a constant smile glued onto his face.
No matter what it is said.
Probably not like a natural looking smile.
No, no, no.
It's completely rehearsed and trained and fake.
I mean, somebody could say to be saying to him, you know, five minutes.
ago you swallowed an explosive capsule and in 90 seconds your guts are going to be sprayed across
the wall.
The smile wouldn't move.
I mean, this guy is a sick boy.
And so I did a little digging on him and here's some of his bona fides.
In 2014, he completed a doctor of medicine degree at Columbia University, College and Physicians
and Surgeons and was funded by a Paul and Daisy Soros fellowship.
Yeah.
for the new Americans and medical scientist training program.
Elsea did not pursue a medical license instead went into public health epidemiology work.
So he's exactly like Tony Fauci.
I'm a doctor, but I never practiced medicine because there's more bucks in power in being a bureaucrat.
I mean, I can't blame him for that, but yes.
Yeah.
Means you don't trust him.
Not at all.
Not for a second.
So clip five here is Abdul El-Sayed, meaming ventriloquist.
Now, what this guy is saying is actually chilling when you hear what he's saying.
It's mind-blowing.
And I heard this like, what, what?
And the reason this was actually, I got this off of Politico, right?
And their only beef about it was his last words when he's talking about flipping or primarying Federman, right?
And he referred to Federman as putting an ogre on a parlor on a parlor.
Pike. Okay. And so some of the, the, the, the, uh, middle Dems said, you can't talk like that.
But that's like, that's like nothing compared to what preceded that. What he, what he, what, the way
this guy is speaking is like he's literally a kingmaker. This is very scary. I get to that and start
paving the pathway for 2028 and who will be the next president. And so part of what I need to do is
understand that this job is not just about what you can do in terms of your
investigatory power, of course, your legislative power or your confirmatory power.
It's also about power.
Well, it's all about power.
It's about power.
You can't stop listing those powers.
Yeah.
Of course, your legislative power or your confirmatory power, it's also your platform power.
And so how do I start telling the story and paving out the pathway for what the next president
should sound like?
Stop.
Now, wait a minute.
This guy's running for a senator, and he's dictating how a president is going to sound.
Do we hear that correctly, Darren?
Yeah, because they got to get more commies in office.
I think that's what they're kind of going for.
Yeah.
And they understand that their little movement, which is quite the scary movement, is gaining traction.
Somehow, even though the polling that we're seeing, says people don't.
agree with what they're actually saying, which again shows you this is all because Donald Trump
and they've been able to demonize him to such a point that they're willing to, you know,
just accept anybody as long as they're fighting Donald Trump.
Because of what I'm advocating for, right, and how I talk about this.
A lot of what I'm trying to do in this race right now and then, you know, if I win,
is to offer compelling ways or offer sort of memes that people can.
Wait, wait, wait, he's offering meat.
This is politics now.
This is politics now.
And he's going to repeat this.
He's the meme ventriloquist.
That's who this candidate is.
They understand that the society of the United States has gotten so disconnected, so out of touch, that they don't pay attention to real news.
Correct.
So memes are going to be the way to win the presidency.
They may not be wrong, sadly.
They're not wrong at all.
Compelling ways or offer sort of memes that people can pick up
who are running for president to sound like we need them to sound.
There you go.
Sound like we need them to sound.
Not have the right ideas.
No.
Policy ideas, nothing.
Just parrot the crap we give you.
And God bless no agenda.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid any attention back in the day when AOC, the bartender just answered a casting call.
It's like you have to know what you're dealing with.
You have to know who you're voting for.
You have to understand what they want because these people, a lot of them now.
They're telling you exactly what they want.
Yeah.
And think about it.
This guy, I mean, he's running for Senate in Michigan.
And when you hear what he's saying,
you realize he's he's not riffing he's not pulling this out of his butt this is this is something
that's probably spread you know far and wide by soros people and whomever else you know this
this is the way they're thinking they're telling this guy you're you're going to determine how
the next president sounds whoa whoa very scary it's a lot of power for a guy running for
office yes running um i got told you my principal job is to be able to
translate a lot of our broader public policy goals in language that moves people to build
the political capacity to drive legislation and change public policy.
And I think I get to do that quite a bit moving into 2028 where I can leave a lot of
these memes for how we talk about this.
Yeah, it's very bizarre that this is being acknowledged that we just, we need memes, we need memes,
We need memes.
We need a show title.
We need memes.
There you go.
And he realizes how stupid the electorate has become
because policies are too difficult to grasp.
But show them a picture.
You know.
Right.
Here's a, you know, here's a doxon with a ball cap on.
Okay.
I got that.
You know, that's really what it's come down to.
That's my candidate.
Really.
Yeah, well, I forgot who sent it.
I apologize.
But somebody sent me a sad puppy image to use
with an eye patch on.
I'm sorry, I don't remember who.
But thank you, because that did make me laugh.
Moving into 2028, where I can leave a lot of these memes for how we talk about this on the table,
should a political entrepreneur running for president want to run on climate in a way that makes sense
and is less assailable than the way we did it, I think, earlier on.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop.
A political entrepreneur.
When have you heard that before?
Never?
What the hell even?
is that a political entrepreneur?
You're blending communism and capitalism,
because there are no entrepreneurs in communism.
Yeah.
But it's an interesting, but this again,
because people don't understand words.
They're just listening going,
oh, this sounds very interesting.
Yeah.
And they're not really even comprehending what is being said.
No.
This is less assailable than the way we did it,
I think, earlier on.
And, you know, primary people like John Frederickman, I have no problem to do that.
Like, I'm looking forward to it.
And people are like, oh, we don't primary in the Senate.
I'm like, watch me do it.
You know what I mean?
Like, tell me, tell me why I should stop.
You know what I mean?
You're going to spend $60 million in B&B?
Okay, to play that game.
You know what I mean?
So, you know, and then what happens is, ideally, you put one ogre on a pike,
and then everyone else gets the message.
There you go.
And then they start sounding a lot different.
And so there's a threat.
We'll put an ogre on a pike and then everybody's going to fall in line and act the way we want them to act.
This guy, this guy needs to be stopped.
It is insanity.
Yeah.
But hey, I don't expect anything else.
No.
Because that's exactly what you get when you check out and you don't pay any attention.
And all of a sudden you wake up.
Yep.
And the people in office are a little crazier than maybe you thought.
Oh, here's, there's no clip, but I'm going to read this.
I saw this story, Darren.
It's exactly what you're saying right now.
Okay, exactly.
And this is why California is doomed.
Nobody's going to fix California because anybody that's worth saving is pretty much left.
And those that have it, have not, have my prayers.
Same thing in New York.
Dig this.
Brian Romero, the Democratic nominee for New York's 34th Assembly District in Queens,
my own borough, is sailing into Albany with no republic.
opponent, okay, after crushing his primary.
The job pays $142,000 a year plus per diems, yet while he waits to be sworn in, the former
legislative aide, briefly posted a crowdfunding page asking strangers for $2,000 to help with rent
and groceries.
When the New York Post asked about it, the page vanished.
Romero had left his senior advisor role with state senator Kristen Gonzalez earlier,
As earlier this year, after ethics guidance forced the move once he became a candidate, state
payroll records show he pulled down $106,469 last year.
He lives with his partner in a Jackson Heights apartment that costs about $2,600 a month.
So this guy's knocking down $106,000 a year.
His rent is $2,600, but he's only paying half of it, one would assume, because he's got a roommate,
right?
So there's $1,300 a month, but he needs to borrow money to pay his rent.
and he's going to be responsible for budgets.
I mean, it's incredible.
These people are all losers.
They are incredible losers.
Every single one of them.
This is treason.
Oh, for God's sake.
Make an example of her.
Yes, make an example.
Like a bloody head on a fence post.
Yeah.
I like that.
And he's not asking to borrow the money.
He's asking to...
Give it to me.
Yeah.
Just give it to me.
There's no value for value there.
That's just give me your money.
Give me your money.
Well, it's the essence of,
Socialism, Communism. Give me what you got.
Well, that socialism, yeah, communism is we're just taking it.
That's true. We're just taking it. Well, they'll take it anyway.
It's a scam.
But Bill Maher, who has been all over the map as we've covered him over the last few years.
He has.
He is leaning very strongly in the he doesn't like the socialist direction, which is good.
And it's entertaining.
Will anybody listen to Bill? I don't know.
And finally, new rule, Donald Trump has told one trillion lies, but when he says the Democratic
Socialists of America are actually communist, that's not one of them.
And it's not hard to prove it, just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.
Davey Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the
direction of the DSA, my vote was in play.
And all I heard all vacation, it's, oh my God, you're a Republican now.
No, that's not what I said.
I said in play.
And here's why.
Because not a week goes by where I don't read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party.
And then when that face opens its mouth, the communist manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out.
Yeah, it's just like the guy you were just talking about.
Yeah, comes right on out.
Right out.
Again, let's just read the quotes, the DSA platform.
says, your work, you work as much as you are able and no more than needed.
If that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs,
they'd be sued for plagiarism.
New York mayor Mandani once tweeted Karl Marx's words, exactly.
They're not trying to hide it.
Their most popular influencer, Hassan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy.
He laments the fall of the two of the most murderous regimes in his own.
history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.
Mandami's aide, his top aide,
see a weaver said, if you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property,
it's over and impoverished the white middle class.
What?
That's a goal?
You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?
So what point are you at in the cycle if instead of trying to lie about all
of this stuff that you are willing to just go out there and say the truth and think people are
still going to put you into office. I mean, this is some insane world. It's working. I mean,
over quite a few states lately, these Cretans have been elected. And, you know, what America needs
to do is turn back the clock to the late 40s and 50s with Joe McCarthy was basically hunting
these people and attempting to jail them because, you know, it's one thing when there's two sides
of an argument, but if somebody's, if somebody's intent is to destroy you, your way of life,
everything about you, well, that's, that's not an opinion. That's an enemy. And their voice doesn't
matter. You know, there really should be some type of legislation passed that if you are a card
carrying commie, get out. Or, hey, it would work if you just educated the average person enough to
know what communism is and how it would mess their life up immensely.
Who's going to do that?
Not the Teachers Union.
Exactly.
Also a bunch of commies overall.
No question.
One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic Congress people, Darleza Chivalier, supports seizing all
properties from landlords and said seize the means of production.
Mendami has said the end goal is seizing the means of production.
I think they want to seize the means of production.
Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but that's communism.
Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance,
and I must take them at their word when their words include,
our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated, classless society in a word communism.
What do they have to do?
tweet out elect more communists
oh yeah
see a weaver did that
yes
good I'm glad you're shot
people got to realize this is going on
you know he's worries me when
Bill Maher and I've been saying the same thing
but yeah I'm glad he's on the train
yeah it's it's great to hear
but it's really chilling
and nobody's really doing anything to put a stop to this
right because it's not business as usual
This is not a Democrat versus Republican thing.
Yeah.
This is all of the rules of this country, all of the rights that you have gotten from God.
No, the government.
The government gives you your rights, kids.
And if we want to take all of your property and all of your money, there's nothing you can do about it.
Yeah.
And all those people in his audience, most of which, I'm sure, are Democrats or, you know, card carrying lefties.
Isn't that funny?
You know who's not laughing?
is one of the big ones
our buddy Scott Galloway.
Yes.
Okay.
I've got that clip.
Yeah.
Oh, you got that clip.
Lay it on us.
Yeah, he was on with Carus Wisher.
Yeah.
And I've been doxed.
Oh, he's been doxed.
Good.
Suffer.
Suffer. Suffer, Scotty.
You've been doxed.
What?
Tell me.
So, I don't know if you've heard,
but Mayor Mom Donnie has decided to release a list
of the 950,000
residences with addresses and names
that might.
be eligible for his Pietater tax.
I came out in favor of this tax.
This is the definition.
I know.
Let's just laugh at him for the next five minutes.
Worried about how you wanted it.
You're back the wrong horse.
It's very interesting when it's like,
well, here's a list of people that might be.
Might be.
This is the definition.
He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue
and has turned it into a wanted poster.
And the question I would have is, other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong, and then 18 months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street, and then publish the list, what is the upside here?
Why is he doing this?
Because you keep voting them in, dummy.
Correct.
You support his policies.
Now, this is nothing new according to every news report that I can find.
This isn't like MAM Donnie released information that has not been being released in New York for years,
but the framing is now different.
People up till this point weren't really looking at the property owners with, oh, you're evil.
Well, why are people looking at property owners like they're evil?
Because of people like Scott Galloway.
Sure.
Because of the Mammons.
That's why.
because you're buying into what they are selling you.
It makes very little sense.
But yeah, it's kind of funny that this is backfiring on him.
And like, why is this happening?
But you're still supporting them, right?
Oh, yeah, love it.
But I mean, he's going to get me killed, but I really like him.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And I have one quick clip from the governor of Illinois, the state that I currently reside in.
Oh, J.B.
More lies, lies, and damn lie.
lies from somebody that is, doesn't claim to be a Democrat socialist, but he is.
What is?
This is directly from the J.B. account.
So yes, the music is all J.B.'s people.
What is Donald Trump's so-called Save America Act?
It's yet a-I mean, why is it a so-called act?
It is just the save.
It's not a so-called act.
Yeah.
Well, you know.
It's yet another way for him to make voting more difficult for Americans who disagree.
with them. Oh, only the people that
disagree with them. It'll make it harder to
vote for. You know, showing
you actually live in this country.
You know, yeah. Well, I'm sorry, are a
citizen of this country.
Words matter.
I'm asking you to approve the
Save America Act,
and it should be before anything
else happens. Voters
who would face the possibility of being
disenfranchised. The bill would make
it harder for tens of millions of married
women to vote because their
I know.
Let them finish this part.
Because their last names don't match their birth certificates.
He wants to.
Yeah.
So, I mean, are you familiar with this?
Because I looked it up.
Because your name doesn't match your birth certificate.
I know that's really inconvenient because women, when they get married, a lot of them change their name to take their husband's last name.
Now, in this law that this moron, Pritzker, my governor, is talking about the way that you can get beyond this.
So, yeah, okay, so if your birth certificate has a different last name, you have to jump through all kinds of hoops, right? Larry, I mean, if you want to.
No, I don't believe that for a second.
No, you know what they need?
What?
An affidavit from the person swearing that what they're providing is true.
Oh, see.
So they have to write.
That's impossible.
Women are too stupid to write an affidavit according to J.B. Prisker.
They're too dumb to be able to write down that Mary Jones is now Mary Peters.
That's way too, way too hard for women according to J.B. Pritzker.
Well, the poster is Pritzker thinks women are stupid.
Put up on every billboard in Illinois.
It's unbelievable.
You need a affidavit from the person.
You know, nobody else.
You don't have to go.
you don't have to get a lawyer, you just have to fill out a piece of paper that says,
I, your name here, and really this person originally, your name here on the birth certificate.
Boom, done.
Yeah.
And he said tens of millions.
I'm trying to remember.
I used to know that number, but I don't think there are tens of millions of women getting married
every year.
I think it's like three, four million, something like that.
Yeah, because that's going off the ledge as well.
Marriage is an institution.
Make it so even using your real ID, which is security.
enough to keep air travel safe.
Is the real idea really keeping air travel safe?
Not in the least.
No.
It's making more inconvenient, but it's not doing a damn thing to make it safer.
No.
Wouldn't allow you to vote.
And if you move even one block from where you live now, you wouldn't be allowed to vote.
I mean, what he doesn't mention is that moving one block could put you into a different state, a different county, a different town.
But no, don't worry about reality, kids.
unless you start the whole registration process all over again.
The push to pass.
Because, you know, when you move Larry, I mean, you did.
This was a perfect example.
You moved over the last few years from Cami, California into Cami, Connecticut.
Correct.
There were no paper.
There was nothing you had to fill out anywhere, right?
I mean, you just, you moved and your credit cards and every,
and they just knew where you were, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, they knew where to where it was.
Amazingly, incredibly done.
they knew I was here
and so they could tax me on my cars
on my house
all the tax just magically appeared.
I don't know how they did it, but they did it.
It's amazing. When you move, there's never any
paperwork that you need to fill out.
Just give us the money.
Uh-huh.
The Save America Act is just Donald Trump's
latest attempt to deny
your right to vote and to reshape
the electorate in MAGA's favor.
He doesn't want a legitimate election.
He wants certain victory.
No, he wants to
It's fair.
Read the Safe America Act bill, not the so-called.
If you read it, it is pretty clear, but this is part of this massive amount because Pritzker's social media.
This is daily.
This isn't like he releases a video every now and then there are things like this coming out.
Constantly, sure.
Yes.
And it's that fire hose effect again.
And why?
Because people look at it and they're like, oh, must be true.
I mean, he's an elected official.
He's the governor of Illinois.
He wouldn't be lying just flat to my face, would he?
Yeah, hell yeah.
Seems like that happens a lot.
Yes, yes, it does.
And just to prove that the migration crisis doesn't just happen in the United States.
This is a very interesting story.
This Quetta, Haima.
It's amazing, man.
Sweta, Sweta, invasion.
I'm great with geography names.
It's amazing.
But here is the breakdown on what is going on from the BBC.
Where is Seuta and why have so many people suddenly tried to swim there?
These images are of thousands of migrants suddenly rushing towards Morocco's border with Seuta,
a tiny sliver of land that belongs to Spain.
They swam across in such huge numbers that the border effectively collapsed.
there was chaos. The swim isn't long, but some people clearly struggled and several dozen
have drowned. Those who did make it ashore, though, were euphoric.
No, Marwecos, Vipa, Vipa. So why Sayuta? Well, it's a spot where Europe and Africa meet directly,
a stepping stone, some think, on the way to a better life. It's just a few square miles in size
and with around 80,000 inhabitants, so 50,000 more arriving in just one day,
was quite something. Spain has now sent troops and police to help keep the peace and to reinforce
the border. But it's still not clear why so many migrants suddenly rushed to Sayuta.
Okay, here's a very interesting thing. She's telling you literally one breath before.
Nobody understands why, but listen to what follows.
A Spanish court did rule recently that anyone who swims across the border can't be
automatically returned. So perhaps word spread.
So perhaps this is the understatement of the century.
Sure.
Well, it's just like Joey and Kamala.
We can't control the border.
We're taking act to Congress.
We can't stop them.
So come on up, guys.
Right.
We can get phone cards for you and phones and everything.
Nothing will happen exactly.
What they had here was the court rule.
If you come in via the water, you can't be immediately returned.
That seems like it might have been a lie.
But oh, maybe people heard.
heard this. Well, of course they did because you didn't have this before that and now you do.
Yeah. Cause and effect. But there are also questions about what Morocco did or didn't do to stop
people crossing. Okay, it's Morocco's fault. Why did none of these liberal outlets went, oh,
it's Mexico's fault for allowing all of these migrants to walk through. You know, it's amazing.
Morocco should learn from East Berlin. Put that wall up. Keep it inside.
everybody needs a wall, Larry.
Everybody needs a wall.
Right now, it's not happy with Spain because of Spain's relations with Algeria, not a friend of Morocco.
Spain's government is playing that down because it needs help from Morocco now to be able to send people back there.
Many have already gone, but many thousands more are still in Suita and unsure of what happens next.
Yeah, we're already seeing what's happening next.
Here is the Fox News report.
chaos at the border of Spain's
North African enclave in Morocco.
This is a city called Suta.
You're watching as thousands.
And the reason I can't get the name right is because everybody covering this has said this differently.
I think he's correct and the Brit was wrong.
So it's Soutai gut feeling.
Suta, yes.
Of migrants break through the fence and completely overwhelm the border police.
Their video showing huge groups of people, mostly young military age guys.
Sounds very familiar.
doesn't it, though? Yes, the young military age guys.
Coming into a country, no, nothing to see here.
Their video showing huge groups of people, mostly young military age guys,
cramming into inflatable tubes or arriving on shore another way,
some of them wading in the water as they break through the gates to get to the other side.
Sandra, this is reminiscent of kind of what we saw during the open border during the Biden administration through 2021, 24,
kind of similar to what we saw in Del Rio back in 2021.
And of course, this is Fox News, who is very much on the Trump train overall.
So they will bring the comparison to the invasion of the United States under Biden.
The socialist agenda, their platform literally says they want to abolish borders,
abolish immigration enforcement, have complete freedom of movement.
This is what it looks like in another country if they get what they want.
Notice there is no resistance from the government.
So wherever, these people are coming in without any obstruction.
And if people don't know, Spain has a very left-wing government.
Earlier this year, they did a big amnesty program for over.
Well, Spain isn't really just very left-wing.
They are pretty much straight-out socialist, aren't they?
Totally. Yes, that's correct.
You know, I think of that Brit idiot.
They arrived so, what was the word?
She said, ecstatic or something, how happy they were to be there.
Yes.
And then she says it's normally a community of 80,000 people.
And suddenly there's 50,000 strangers.
Now, if you look at a map, it's the tip of kind of a, not a peninsula, but it's jutting into a vast chunk of water called the Mediterranean.
And there's nowhere to go from there.
Okay.
So where are all these guys going to make peepee?
Where are they going to eat?
Where are they going to sleep?
You know, it doesn't matter because they're happy.
You know, and the people that are living there already, well, screw them because they need to welcome everybody.
Well, that's not what's happening, believe it or not.
But all these people going think once it's very much the same story of the Venezuelans that came into the United States, wound up here in Chicago, sleeping on the floor.
Send me back.
Right.
When interviewed, we're like, this is horrible.
We thought there was opportunity here.
We can't work without getting permits.
We can't get the permits.
We can't get a place to live because we don't have any money.
and when asked if they would do it all over again,
they're like, no, it was better before they left home,
but it was because of the story that was sold to them.
They should have gone on Martha's Vineyard.
Now they could have stayed at Barack and Michelle.
No problem.
Well, don't know.
Spain has a very left-wing government.
Earlier this year, they did a big amnesty program
for over a million illegal immigrants living in the country.
They had 1.3 million illegal immigrants.
immigrants apply for that amnesty program between April and June. So that's what we call a pull
factor, Sandra. They're looking for something like that. They know if they can just get their foot
in the country. Maybe someday that left-wing government will do another amnesty program. And you were
just reading some of the wires. The locals want an emergency declaration. It sounds like...
The ministry's saying no. And they will not deploy military to the border. Apparently they don't think
this is an emergency. I mean, look at this. This is a total free for all.
And I don't know exactly the timing between this news report and then what happens.
shortly after because the concept that they weren't being rounded up and sent back doesn't seem
to be the truth. Either this is a global news report. It started with hundreds than many,
many more. The Spanish government estimates roughly 60,000 people arrive from Morocco and little
more than a day. Many swam. And again, we know that millions came into the United States.
but as you just pointed out,
this is about 60,000 people coming into an country of 80,000.
Almost doubling within a day.
This man says he spent two hours in the ocean.
Another brought his five daughters.
Just before an attempt, this woman says she doesn't make enough as a waitress
to support her parents and daughter.
They're traveling from Morocco into a Spanish enclave in Africa called Sueta.
Many thousands of people have tried in the past, risking their lives to seek a better life.
More than 30 people died in their attempt this time.
The rumor that seems to have really blown up is that all of the rules around pushbacks were suspended.
Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith points to misinformation around a
recent Spanish court case as a potential reason why so many are trying now.
Spain Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily returned.
So which part of that's misinformation?
I'm not really sure.
It seems like good information.
If the court ruled that, why would you say then it was misinformation?
I want to hear that again too.
All of the rules around pushbacks were suspended.
Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith points.
to misinformation around a recent Spanish court case as a potential reason why so many are trying
now, Spain Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily returned, though
that appears to be happening. As a Friday morning local time, as many as 25,000 people returned.
This man says he's leaving, and that he hasn't eaten or slept in a day, others likely dissuaded
by the Spanish military.
Spain's Prime Minister called so many people illegally arriving and attack.
A sentiment the British Prime Minister echoed.
It is a cause for concern and we are making contact with the Spanish government, the Spanish authorities, to provide support.
Smith points out legal entry to the EU enables free passage within it.
He also says many European countries are aging and rely on migrant labor.
That more legal pathways could make life easier for many people.
No, no. It's the same story as here. Oh, no, we need. Yeah, we need that.
We need the influx. Well, then come in legally. Right. And don't even want to talk about the danger as we talked about,
Adam and John talked about the danger from coming into the United States and how many people died.
Yeah.
Trying to make that journey because it's a very corrupt way to get into the country and you're paying, you know, mules to get you in.
I mean, people, not actual mules.
And it's a very dangerous thing.
And they're not, most of these news reports here, we haven't heard anything about the death toll here.
But France 24 has it.
Both cities, Melia and Seuta, are really surrounded by very high fences.
And it's extraordinarily difficult, actually, normally to reach.
And of course, we've seen over the past few days, while obviously tens of thousands of
of people arrived, dozens of people, as you say, the latest estimate is 57, people died in the attempt.
So it's very difficult and very dangerous.
Once people arrive in Seuta and Melia, while they are part of Spain and as such, they are part of the Schengen Free Movement area,
there are special rules applied to the autonomous cities and it's actually quite difficult to travel
onward. So a lot of the scaremongering that we've heard and the reactions from countries like
Italy, sort of thundering about suspending Schengen or suspending Spain from Schengen are
really red herrings that don't match up with the reality of the situation.
I mean, one I also don't understand all these, you know, leftist countries who are now afraid
that more people are coming in. I thought you don't want the borders.
Now these people are coming in illegally.
How horrible.
But CBS News is the only one that I found that had boots on the ground that had a reporter there trying to speak to these migrants coming in.
And I thought this was very interesting.
Again, was echoing the interviews with the Venezuelaans that I saw here in Chicago, kind of given the same thing.
We were promised a better life.
And the reality may be a little different.
All these people have been told that they're not going to be able to get asylum here.
So they're being turned around and sent back right there.
No, they're not letting people stay.
That's what the police have told us.
Everyone, they're making everybody leave.
But some people here in Kuzerokal go to Spain.
You can see, but most of them are walking this way because the police and the military have forced them to leave.
I know.
It's very hard to hear because of the audio was bad.
But the migrants, like, but no, no, a bunch of these people that were going to Spain.
And this guy's like, no, that's not going to happen.
You know, sorry, but your journey is for not the journey.
The military says that they're not letting people stay, that you have to go back.
What about if many people stay here?
No problem.
So your hope is that you'll be able to stay here.
There's no problem.
So you read a news article that said that if you came here, you could claim asylum and live in Spain.
And you read that and then you decided to swim over.
It said Spain has opened the door.
It said Spain has opened the door.
This was on social media.
Right?
Never believe social media, kids.
Yeah.
It's Spain is open the door.
It said Spain has opened the door.
This was on social.
I mean, again, this is the exact playbook of what happened with everybody coming into the United States.
Oh, the United States said it.
The door is open.
Come on in.
Well, they did say that.
And there were, you know, cell phones and phone cards and credit cards and, you know.
Probably new air Jordan's waiting for them.
Where would you like to go?
Yeah, we'll fly it where you go.
I mean, yeah, it was for real under Joey.
But you know, it's fascinating.
It's, you know, I saw some of those videos.
And it looked, there was a science fiction movie a few years ago with Brad Pitt.
about some kind of a plague.
I can't remember what it was called.
But it was actually very good.
World War III, that's what it was.
And there were these mob scenes of these zombies
just swarming various areas.
And the videos of that invasion
from Morocco to Spain, that part of Spain,
was very reminiscent.
Thousands and thousands of guys,
as they say, military-age dudes.
Somebody in the report said,
somebody brought five children.
I didn't see any kids.
I didn't see any women.
It was all guys, maybe 17 to 13.
you know.
And it, and they constantly, this, the left is, this is their stock and trade, man.
They distort the language.
And it's kind of been accepted now around the world that invaders are now referred to as
migrants.
And it's so pisses me off because they're not.
Yes.
You know, for, for a hundred, whatever years, the migrants, and certainly, I witnessed it in
California.
They'd come across.
They'd work in the farms, the ranches, whatever.
And they'd, a while, and they'd send money back to Mexico.
And then it was done, they'd go home, you know?
Not the same as swarms of thousands of guys just coming.
Those are invaders.
Those are not migrants.
They're invaders.
And I believe they're referring to both men and women, but there might be a little bit of a hint here
why there aren't many women crossing.
Media.
Yeah. On what, on Twitter or Instagram?
Facebook, Instagram.
Everyone wants to be here.
Why don't you want to go home to Morocco?
No, no, no, Morocco.
No, no, no, Morocco?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's no money in Morocco.
Ah, see, see.
If you have a family, children, like, that you can be happy all the life.
Do you have a family?
Yeah.
My mother, my, my, but should be there's something, too.
leave a good life.
So you really want to leave Morocco.
You don't care where you go.
Just saying, Turkey, you just want to be able to leave Morocco.
And why is that?
Why do you want to leave Morocco so badly?
Maybe there was a different clip that I missed clip, but there was talking about there being witches on the journey in how they just tied them up and threw them into the sea.
Ooh, that's not nice.
No.
It's not the way that you want to go.
Well, that was how you determined a witch, right?
Back in those days, I tried to drown you.
And if you drowned you were a witch.
Right.
The only way to know is to throw them into the water.
Yes.
And this was just, they, I thought this was kind of interesting.
Not that I, you know, give any credence to this guy.
His name's Mark Adderly.
He is a British producer.
And of course, the evil and the reasoning behind all of this are going to be clear.
Obviously, some kind of, even reported by the telegraph, Moroccan governmental influence on this.
And also, we can't pretend to ignore that Morocco clearly, only in recent days,
has been in conversations with Trump telling him they're naming a highway after Trump.
They have a, they've signed the Abraham Accords, and they have a military-related.
relationship with Israel. So, you know, we have no way of being able to prove anything. But the feeling
is one of it's curious that Spain has inadvertently become the epicenter of a migrant crisis very
shortly after the Spanish World Cup and everything that America has said about not liking the
Spanish. Yeah, it's all Trump. It's all Israel. That's the reason it's all. Wow. So this was all
CIA op. This is how this happened.
Maybe.
Yeah.
It's again, there is so much blather out there that it's nearly impossible to know who's right,
who's wrong, which just, of course, gets everybody else anxious.
It gets everybody all spun up.
And that's not doing anything good for their mental health as well.
Yeah.
Now you have two more clips here and then we can thank a lot of people for their courage.
Yeah.
Why not?
What have I got here?
I've got, you know, this kind of fun one.
Stephen Miller dropping truth bombs.
You know, I'm such a stickler for vocabulary in words.
You can hear what this guy is to say.
The people you mentioned, the names you mentioned, AOC, Bernie, the squad, Omar.
These are people who even 10 or 15 years ago,
but would have been relegated to the outer extreme fringes of the Democrat Party.
They're now the center of the party.
They're the heart of the party.
They're the soul of the party.
So the Democrats have become a party of freaks, weirdos, losers, and crazies.
But you can't laugh it off because it's deadly serious.
When you give these people power, everything you know and love in this world falls apart.
You have chaos, corruption, decay, violence, poverty.
That's a poster right there for a...
Yeah, he's dead right.
And he missed a step when he said to give these people power.
They get power because before they...
get power, people insist
that you give them respect, right?
And he's right, 15, 20 years ago.
A lot of these people would have said, hey, man,
those are psychos.
Those are, they're nincompoops.
They're weird.
Get them out of here.
You know, the Bernies, really, really,
the vagrants.
So many of them are.
But how do they get that way?
Well, I'll tell you how.
From preschool teachers
telling the little children that
everyone deserves respect.
No, they don't.
No, they do not.
They conflate respect with civility, right?
Respect borders on admiration.
And nobody deserves respect.
Of course, they can only earn it, but not the way children are taught.
And so that's why these creeps, these insane people, suddenly get to where they go,
because people are afraid to call them what they are.
So, you know, I get to applaud Stephen Miller.
The left hates him.
But I admire what he just said, because he's crows.
Correct.
Dug it up in the troll room says,
Stephen Miller's a baller.
A what?
A baller.
What's that?
A baller.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
It's a badass.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I didn't know that was going to be a terminology that was off of the,
the radar.
It's a baller, man.
Yeah, it didn't.
Yeah.
I thought it was like a basketball player or something.
Kind of.
Okay.
You're bringing a Gavin Newsome clip?
Yes.
This is, you know, even though you're not a dad, I think this may stimulate some rage within you, Darren.
Yeah, because I do have a thing against bad parenting anyway.
Yeah.
Well, this isn't the parents' fault, but you realize how bad things have become in the state of California.
This is, I'll just tell you the setup.
It's a woman filming herself.
She's on a speaker phone talking to somebody at the MyChart outfit or some medical institution in California.
And man, what she is to say is kind of sickening.
I have a question for you.
I got a notification in my chart from my daughter, Gianna,
seeing that once her birthday hits on August 4th,
that I'm not going to have access through my chart for her appointments
and her, like, test results and stuff.
Correct.
What you're going to have to do is when a child turns 12,
you're going to have to bring her in,
and she's going to have to create her own campus.
her own account how?
Mm-hmm.
How would...
And what is this an account for?
On like my device, so she has her own...
My chart, the medical website that seems everybody...
Oh, right.
I was thinking, because I've got those with every doctor that I've got.
So, wait, this doctor's office is telling this woman that a 12-year-old is going to have to set up her own account.
Yes, because it's in California.
And what is the reason for that?
Well, because a Scott Weiner, that freak up in San Francisco, among his other legislation, he's passed now in California, basically, if a 12-year-old says, excuse me, I want to get my Johnson removed, they can have it done by themselves, by their fiat, and mommy and daddy have no say whatsoever.
Wow.
Yeah, wow.
How would you, on, like, my device, so she has her own law.
No, her device.
She's 12.
She doesn't have a device.
Oh, then she won't be able to access.
Like, how is she, so you guys expect 12-year-olds to make their own appointments and monitor their test results?
It's not us.
It's not, it's the state, nationwide thing.
Crazy.
I can't even get my kids.
I can't even get my old kid unless they give me access.
But I have to, my kids have to create their own accounts.
Okay, so if she creates her own account on whatever device, she has her own login, we could do it through that.
Correct.
We're able to email the doctor, so on the account that you currently have, you'll be able to schedule and cancel appointments.
Okay.
Still be able to email the doctor.
Because the message says that I can't even do appointments.
Oh, huh?
They can't do appointments?
I mean, is this real?
This is real.
This is not fake.
I mean, I'm having flashbacks to the AI videos that I was complaining were fake a couple of weeks ago.
This is, this is real?
I believe it is.
It's been, you know.
Oh, no.
I guess not.
So she's going to have to call and create her and make her yearly appointments.
Oh, my God, it's crazy.
Okay.
I know.
That's insane.
How do they expect kids to, say they get a blood test?
How do they want them to review their own blood test results at 12 years old?
Okay.
Well, we'll figure it out.
I'm just going to have to create the login together and I'll manage it under her account.
Yes.
And then if they do create, they have their appointment.
I'm just, I'm still allowed to go in with her, right?
or I'm not even allowed to be in the room with her.
Unless she said, yes, absolutely.
If she says no, she has every right.
Okay.
There you go.
Wow.
The girls are calling the shots.
They'll decide what mommy and daddy have to say or see.
Okay, that does not, if that's real, that is beyond the pale, as Joe Biden would say.
Yeah, well, that was a big issue about them doing it.
I mean, people in California were just, you know, having conyption.
over and justifiably so because it's all rooted in the trans movement.
That's where that's that's the genesis.
Right, because when they want to get the surgery done, then the parents can't be, you know,
told about it because that would be bad somehow.
Right.
Wow.
Wow.
If that's real, I mean, I would have given you a clip of the day, but I already did that.
Well, I like what I got.
The show because that is absolutely insane.
If you're in California, if you got kids.
Get out.
Yeah.
God help you.
Yeah.
But it's time to do this.
I'm going to show my suburb by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, oh, no agenda in the morning.
Yeah, I know the jingle doesn't always go there.
People are like, oh, you're not doing it right.
And like it's like spitting plates.
You are great plate spinner.
You know you are.
The best.
I get better as, no, Adam Curry's,
the best. I'm getting all right as time goes by. I'm going to get a little bit better each and
every time out. By the time, Adam's like, give me all this stuff back. You guys are nuts. Then I'll
be perfect. I'll be good. I'll know exactly what I'm doing. But no agenda is a value for value
show. What does that mean? I mean, the whole ecosystem, it's based on three words. Time,
talent, treasure. It's pretty simple. There's no ads. There's no corporate money. Nothing's locked behind a
paywall. It's not like some subscription service that you're like, how do I stop this? No, it's very easy.
The show goes out. You can grab it with whatever app you want. We highly recommend a podcasting 2.0 app.
Because then you get the bat signal when the show goes live and all the other shows that you like that are on the podcasting 2.2.2O ecosystem go live.
Just go over to podcast apps.com. If you don't have one. And then if you get anything out of the show,
did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you like Larry's Fauci and
Man, everybody dug that.
Was it better than cats?
Just you get to send some value back to us to keep the show going on.
That's it.
It doesn't have to be money.
That is where the time, talent, and treasure comes into it.
You can do artwork, you can tell a friend.
You can hit them in the mouth, as we say.
Spread the word in any way you can.
And if you want to go the monetary donation route that keeps the lights on,
do what feels right for you.
Five bucks could be a big deal.
And some people, $100, $200,000.
and nobody dictates the number.
But you, this is pure freedom
in the value for value model.
You can just go over to no agenda donations.com
and see what number hits you.
Maybe it's 888 because there was 888 people
in that troll room the last time.
But Larry and I are getting compensated for these shows.
We left that number up to the Podfather
and the Dvorak clan.
It's an example of value for value.
Whatever they think we are worth,
then that's what we're going to get.
So we highly recommend,
if you like what we're doing here,
that you go over and send in a donation
and just let them know, Darren and Larry, they're okay.
Yeah.
I mean, it's okay as we can possibly be.
But let me look here at the troll room.
What do we got?
What's the headcount?
I know, these trolls, they always run.
I don't know why we have a peak trollage of 956 with 776.
That sounds kind of patriotic.
It does.
Right now, and we are glad you are joining us into the Noah.
to troll room, which is available over at noagenda.stream.
And then if you're a true nerd, you will figure out how to get onto the IRC server
direct so you don't have to deal with any of the crazy web interface stuff.
And just the way it works.
And all the trolls there on a podcasting 2.0 app because they know when we're live.
The other thing you can do, of course, artwork for the show.
As I said the other day, people like, oh, can you still do art?
Well, I could.
but that wouldn't be in the...
No. Then I'd have to pick your stuff.
Wouldn't that be awful.
No, you would be like, no, I don't like any of this stuff.
This is all bad.
Give me a darn thing.
But we had some nice art coming in on the last show.
And a couple of the artists was Mike Riley.
Somebody told me like, no, be, be vicious.
Be vicious to the artist.
Don't let them off the hook.
But there were a few nice pieces by Dame Kenny Ben.
And there were a few we could have gone with.
Yep.
And I really kind of liked the vibe of the Muppet Fouchy with the duct tape.
But Larry hates puppets.
I do.
It's true.
So you have to learn exactly what the host like.
And Larry does not like puppets.
But see, that was a Fauci Muppet that looked.
I mean, that looks more Fauci than the actual Fauci.
I mean, it's amazing.
That was a beautiful beast.
It was good.
The one we chose was a cartoonish fouchy,
which everything kind of blended perfectly with the little bubble of I take the fifth,
which that was the thing you said,
was the tape over the mouth didn't really coincide enough with the hundred and eleven times.
Yes.
Of Fauci taking the fifth.
And then we had like the little lawyer names.
I mean, I hope the O'Neill and Blinder aren't the real.
lawyers for Fauci because we, although we get paid well.
That's true.
But we thought that one really hit on all of the marks.
I don't know what was next for you.
I mean, we both decided that Blue Acorns Fauci writing in the diary was so disturbing.
We are going to have nightmares for the next, well, as long as we can imagine.
Yes.
It's a tad disturbing, yes.
You think?
I mean, really no agenda art generator.com.
Oh, look, the Fauci Diary by Blue Acorn, very weird.
We had, of course, scaramanga coming in with the cheesecake,
but it was a little too trashy of cheesecake.
And with the flock camera.
Yeah.
I mean, and the butts.
I mean, the only way butt art is going to get picked is if it's CSB,
who said he was going to put some in for, uh, really today.
I mean, we shamed him on the last show.
Like, where's the CSB art?
I was, Datherant, I was taking a nap.
Like, well, why?
you snooze you lose during the show.
And the Parker Polly one, which was the mashup of our original planet rage art with no agenda was very nice as well.
That would have probably been second on my list after the one that we chose.
But there's some interesting stuff coming in today.
I do see something from comic strip blogger so he didn't lie.
Oh, cool.
There is still plenty of time, though, to compete.
to see what is going to win today.
It could be anything.
That is the beauty of it.
And we thank Dame Kenny Ben.
I know she's been out of the art game for a little while.
So it was nice to see some pieces by her that came in.
It is all very much appreciate it.
It's part of the time, talent, treasured.
Thank you, Dame Kenny, Ben.
And now we do need monetary support to keep the show going.
And this is where we normally do our executive producers
and associate executive producers.
Today, again, we're going all the way down to the 50 mark.
Why?
Because we're new.
We need some reps.
And we want to encourage you to continue supporting the best damn podcast in the universe.
So if you have the spreadsheet open, we can.
I do, Darren.
And I'm going to ask for your assistance because to avoid the train wreck situation.
I'm looking at Fred Hadley's very generous.
donation and it says see attached note.
Where does find that note?
I've got it. Let me read that. When he came in with 1776 in cash, this is, you're very
brave. Wow, that's cool. Cash. Wow, that's impressive. And the note was on a piece of paper.
So I transcribed it because it was a little hard to read from the picture, but I've got it here.
He says, dear no agenda, United States is a federal corporation where July 4th is Independence Day.
United States of America is the Constitutional Republic
whose August 2nd is Independence Day
Artificial Intelligence
Scrapes and steals
spies and surveils and lies and kills
AI serves the devil
Sincerely Fred Hadley
I was going to say that is
Fred thank you and I am with you brother
Yeah you and Larry should start an anti-AI coalition
I'm down yeah
It's the way to do it
I mean it's a very much appreciation
We don't have anything as far as he's an instant night.
Obviously, I don't see any night name.
If you have a night name, Fred, please let us know.
And then you want to continue with the Dame, Dame, Dame, Pamphill.
She's from Los Angeles.
Sorry to hear that.
She donated 300 and she said, Adam, you were such a great host in 1888.
I'm proud of you, John 2.
Best wishes to you all, Dom Pompu.
Dame.
Dame.
They're dames.
They're dames.
I'm trying to be French.
Oh, I guess the last name.
I see.
You were trying to bring all sorts of upper crust.
Yeah.
So next is Manuka Gold, our friends, from Hudson, Florida.
And ITM for the Manuka Gold family.
Thank you, Larry and Darren.
Great job filling in.
We really enjoyed Thursday's show, and we're happy to keep supporting.
We do have a code at manukalgold.com for the Noagent.
listeners looking for 20% off code treasure.
Again, that's code treasure.
We'll work for the entire month of August and beyond.
Feel free to reach out with any special requests like gift notes, etc.
It's great to email with fellow no agenda listeners.
And that was $250.
Thank you.
Mooka Gold.
Yeah, I need to get some of that stuff.
I've heard it's the greatest honey around for all sorts of different reasons.
Honey is magical stuff.
stuff, but it's got to be the right, honey.
Well, this is it.
Yes, really.
Next, Eli the Coffee Guy.
It's from Bensonville, Illinois, and 208.02.
Thank you to Darren and Larry for doing a great job holding the fork down.
I know all of us in Gitmo Nation are feeling the shadow of John's passing with heavy hearts.
So, I figured I'd offer a little ray of light.
We have a new Gigate baby.
Congratulations.
Our son Miles was born July 28th.
Everybody is healthy and happy.
We haven't slept much in the past week, but that's what coffee is for.
Visit gigawatt coffee roasters.com and use code ITM20.
Again, that's ITM210 for 20% off your order.
Stay caffeinated.
Eli, the coffee guy.
Yeah, he's the only guy that ever got me to do a meetup.
And he was a good dude.
Yeah, he's the first no agenda producer.
that I met in the wild.
We went to go see Eli and I'm like,
I got to try some of this, a gigawatt coffee.
Then he got me hooked.
He gave me a couple of, like, you try these.
And I was like, oh, man.
Good stuff.
Uh-huh.
It's like crack.
Once you have it, you want it.
You want more.
A lot more.
All right, we've got Red Knight from Bismarck, North Dakota.
That's a town with a great name and a great place.
20188.
Deepest condolences to the.
the Devorax, curries and all who have been touched by JCD. My keeper and I were traveling, and we had
stopped at the world's largest truck stop in Iowa along Route 180. We had just sat down for some lunch
when I saw the announcement newsletter. Like many others, I was in disbelief. This isn't April,
reading it again, and my keeper could tell something was wrong. I handed her my phone. It was also
very saddened after reading the news. Since we were traveling for a few days,
I wouldn't be able to send a proper note or donation.
The added delay gave me the time needed to process and reflect.
I don't know when exactly I discovered JCD,
but I'm pretty sure it was when he was a guest on Twit.
Early in my marriage, 2000s, my keeper,
had worked training in the San Francisco area.
I gleefully tagged along.
It was during this time I frequently watched, listened to Twit.
They would meet at various venues to record the show.
I guess this could have been the original,
meetups. I was able to be part of the audience on two recordings in two different venues.
Leo Leport, Kevin Rose, others I don't recall, and of course, John C. DeVorek.
JCD was new to me at the time and didn't know all of his vast history like I do now.
At first, I wasn't much of a fan of JCD, however. The more he popped up on Twit and later
listened on no agenda, the more I appreciated his direct no-nonsense delivery. His stories from past
experiences always had my attention, as well as his many tips. He even used a tip suggestion
I sent him called Drop Stop that goes between your front car seat and console. Several times after
this, I tried to feed him with more tips, but nothing stuck. One of the tips I sent, he said,
this isn't a tip. This is a product promotion. I remember that original Drop Stop. I was like,
oh, I need that, because if you've ever dropped anything in your car and it goes between the seats.
I recall that. It was a cool product.
One last thing I'd like to share about John to his,
and this is his mentioning of giving a short sentence review of products like a book, for example,
quote, couldn't put it down or, quote, a real page turner, unquote.
I just so happen to own a game for the Apple 2GS called Crystal Quest.
On the front of the box is a sticker with a few more of those one-liners,
our very own JCD as a comment, quote,
hottest game in town, unquote.
I've often thought about sending him
this box with donation, of course,
and see if he would sign it for me.
Another part of me thought
it may fall into the depths of his studio
to never be found again.
That's probably more likely.
Yeah.
It's never good timing when a loved one leaves us.
However, John's sequence of events seems appropriate.
One, give everyone a scare with a major surgery,
two.
Needed passwords, digital things are realized.
three, John is recovering, we need a promotion, Red Knight, Order of the Heart, four,
time passes and grousing, per usual, five. Evening of the final event, John calls to a soulmate,
spend a few more minutes together, then silently exits. My continual prayers to the Dvorix
and Curries that our Heavenly Father will carry you through this valley and give you the
strength for the next chapter. John truly was a national treasure, Red Knight Sir Brendan, FEMA,
Well, thank you very much. That's, again, as we heard from the clip directly at the start of the show, the gaping hole that is left by John C. DeVorek. And it's funny, I've heard from more than a few people when they posted about John that starts, at first I wasn't a fan. Because you didn't really understand John. It's kind of like no agenda. People that start listening to this show, there are so many little backstory, so many.
jokes somebody you know in the morning people like what does that mean it takes a little time to
kind of catch up but once you did with john people were in for there i've never heard anybody that
was like oh but no that didn't turn around i mean the minute i saw him take leo's phone and change
it to korean i was in that's great stunt everybody should do that yes my wife did that to me once
before was the phone when it was garmin gps on the dashboard of the car and she changed the
the language to France, to French.
And I was heading to a very important appointment.
And man, I was pissed.
This is no.
You didn't know if you were turning left or right.
Exactly. I had no idea.
Nice.
You want to do this one, Darren?
Sure.
Sir, nobody of New Jersey.
Now, there's a name.
$201 says,
Dear O'Neill and Blydner,
I wanted to thank you too for hosting Thursday's show.
It was great.
So I subscribed to Planet
rage. In my previous note, I think I forgot to convey my condolences and sympathies to
JCD's family as well as Adam's family. Congrats on the birth and of course the Horowitz's.
But on to good news. Looking over my donation amounts from the last donation, I realized that I'm a
baronet. Those sustaining donations do add up. I'm a fan of the 11-11 plan. It's not much,
but every little bit helps.
And I'm just going to say, I don't want to argue with the night,
but it is not nothing.
It is not not much.
It is very much what keeps shows like this going are the monthly donation.
So thank you for that.
Title to be baronet, nobody of New Jersey.
Also, for the New Jersey crew and anybody else,
I'm happy to announce an early meetup for Central Jersey on August 8th at the 3BR.
Is that distillery in Keyport, New Jersey?
It looks like 3BR.
Yeah, three bedroom.
Tidal, hey, that's a heck of a bar.
We drink and we know things.
Absent Friends edition.
I did this so as to not take Thursday,
not to take thunder away from the Dame Wen of the Lakes,
fantastic pig roast meetup on September 6th,
which is highly recommended to the New Jersey crowd.
Well, that sounds like fun too.
It does.
Looking forward to barrenhood soon and seeing everyone at the meetups,
sir, nobody of New Jersey.
Jersey and he came in with 201 today making them a baronet. Thank you.
Very cool. Next up is anonymous.

I started listening to No Agenda at episode 94 back in May of 2009.

Hi, Larry and Darren, so what is the thing I will miss most about JCD?
Now, that is a great question.
Where there's so much the community that he and Adam created around the show
was nothing short of amazing.
I have met some awesome people through the show,
like Dame Jennifer,
the first producer I ever met
who happened to be working at the same co-working space
in Chirac as I was
and had an N-A mug on her desk.
One of those people is Sir Dank Steny
who suffered a great loss
when the tornado tore through Manasha, Wisconsin,
last week.
Fortunately, his family,
including their beloved cat, are all safe.
And please send heaps of car.
to all of them.
Next.
Yeah,
I will say,
Barron Serfina,
and Appleton,
that was the town,
really,
that looked like it took it
the hardest.
We're glad you're all right.
The drone footage
of Appleton after those storms,
which took out our power here
with the drunk NATO
and the 100 mile an hour winds,
man,
Appleton got hit hard.
So hopefully you and everybody
around there recovers from that one.
It was,
this weather is no joke.
No.
Dame Rita in Sparks, Nevada.
Wasn't that Art Bell's town?
I think so.
Close by.
No, Parham, that's where he was.
Dame Rita donated 88.88 and said,
Darren O and Larry B.
Much appreciation for your time and talent.
Thank you for your, is it Courage or content?

They're great.
I've been to a couple.
Always enjoy it.
There was a Raleigh JCD meetup report from James Jeffers.
Who said there was no audio, but they had 14 people show up.
They toasted JCD's memory.
and they say we miss him and remember him with fondness.
And there was a nice picture, some very good looking trolls out there for the meetup,
which is what we like to see in celebrating JCD.
I mean, what better way to go than to find a bunch of people who have similar ideas as you
and aren't going to go crazy if you disagree with them,
which is also a plus because we're living in a world now where people,
oh, you're wearing a red cap, you're the devil.
No, not at a meetup.
Everybody's cool.
And then we had a North Georgia meetup,
and that is headed up by Sir Bob,
and he's got the meetup report here.
He doesn't know if I'll be playing them.
Oh, yes, I will.
But he also adds condolences to Mimi and everyone else from Georgia.
In the morning, Adam and Mimi and the whole Devorak clan,
is Sir Bob coming at you from the North Georgia Quarterly Meetup,
which we have renamed the North Georgia Rest in Peace.
John C. DeVorak meetup. We had a great night. We had the best turnout. We've had in a long time.
Everybody's here talking about how great John was and how much he meant to us.
So I want to pass the phone around and have everybody give a little bit about what John meant to them.
And I'm going to start with that. And mine is a couple of things I want to say about John.
And one of the things he used to say that I always cracked me up when he would go,
oh, brother. And the reason that meant so much to me is because my mother is the same exact age as John.
and from a different part of the country.
But I guess their generation said the whole thing
because when I'd be with my mom
and we'd be playing cards and doing things
and she'd go, oh, brother.
And it made me think of John.
And then when John would say,
oh, brother, that would make me think of my mom.
So that was a really important thing to me
and it made me feel special with John and my mom.
And the other thing,
the one thing I'm going to say that
I want to take the little bit of thunder
because everybody's got probably the same thing to say.
But I'm going to miss the three by three.
I love the three by three.
So rest in peace, John C. Devorak. I'm going to pass the phone around. And we're going to get everybody else's thoughts about John.
Adam, Mimi, and all the Devorak children, hey, God bless you, keep you, make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you, look upon you with favor and give you peace.
Next letter that comes from, quote, Sir Anonymous, Mark it, return to sender.
In the morning, this is Sir R. I'd like to give a shout out to the love is lit for JCD,
Denver, Seattle Parks Meetup.
I will not be there in person, but I'll drop some DMT and be there in spirit.
Tea here, remembering John C. DeVorak who passed before there was any evidence people wanted to use the mouse.
I miss you, JCD.
JCD, please say hello to J.C.
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil.
are with me.
Sean here, thinking of JCD while we're connecting and protecting.
Now is the time to go out and support your local No Agenda community in the morning,
y'all.
Hey, N.A. Dr. Sir, Mike Roth, I'm going to miss John saying my hey is rude.
I followed that guy for literally 33 years since I got a 386.
Packard Bell back in the day.
And I had so many questions,
and he was my source.
I love you guys.
Long live in A.
RIP, JCD.
This is Cody with Cherry Street Brewing.
These guys with no agenda are awesome.
Hell yeah.
Stay safe.
Rest and peace,
JECD.
You know, that's doing the meetup report, right?
They got the server involved.
That's pretty cool.
And Sir Dr. Mike Crotch.
Always makes me crack up.
It's the voice.
And then we have a report from the North Idaho Sanity Brigade meetup.
Head up by Sir Scott the Jew who says apologies for the late submission.
I had a hard time editing this one through the tears.
In the morning, get Mo Nation.
Sir, Scott the Jew here.
Now this time it wasn't just another North Idaho Sanity Brigade meetup.
It wasn't just another partay.
This time it was a partay for JCD's life.
A celebration of the man.
so many of the same faces and voices together at the trails and brewery in cordial lane,
along with some new faces who came to one of our meetups for the first time.
Conversations of JCD's voice and legacy abounded.
A hearty cheers to the man, the myth, the legend, John C. DeVorak.
Adam and John, I love you so much.
You have changed my life.
John, you were more of a father to me than my own dad.
I'm going to miss you.
I don't drink much anymore, but I'm having one or three.
for you tonight. I love you. Thank God for No Agenda.
Rust in peace, John. Thank you for all the decades of wonderful skeptical media analysis and deconstruction.
From Trevor. Jen with the G here at the North Idaho meetup. Adam, I know they're not your favorite,
but I've been really meaning to write JCD and tell them I love all those whatever girl clips.
It keeps it lively. Wait, what's that in your mouth?
In the morning, No Agenda family. This is our Spook of Spokane. We're all just sharing tales of John
and really all appreciating what a family that No Agenda community has.
John, I hope you're finding something to grouse about up in heaven.
We know you are.
Adam, Mimi, all the No Agenda family, wishing you the best.
Much love and prayers.
In the morning, rest in peace, John.
In the morning, Flindner of the findings here escaping Spokane
for the Smell Freedom found in the North Idaho Sandy Brigade meetup.
Thankful for Scott the Jew, Larry.

What's that in your mouth?
This is Sir Donald of the Fire Bottle's comment on John DeVorek.
Our true home is in the next world, not here.
John has been called home.
May he rest in peace by the mercy of God.
This is Marty at the North Idaho Sanity Brigade.
We've raised many a glass in toasting JCD and his years of pleasure in hearing him.
And life goes on.
My name is Emberra and I live in Port-Alane, Idaho.
I'm sorry about John, but I hope you guys keep on doing the show how you used to and as fun as you used to.
This is Lane Fleming from Otis Orchards, Washington, and I've been listening for about 13 years.
I'm going to miss John a lot.
I sure love listening to you guys.
Thanks for everything.
Sending lots of thoughts and prayers and love to the whole No Agenda family as we grieve and to the
De Borac and Curry families, we will get through this.
Lord, bless transitions.
For all we have going on in front us, welcome your brother, your son, John, all the way home.
Welcome Adam into whatever's next and welcome all of us into the city.
On behalf of the Idaho Senatorate Brigade, we miss you, John.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Hey, guys, this is Janine from Trailsen Brewery.
I had the pleasure of serving No Agenda tonight, and they were super fun, my pleasure.
see you next time. Cheers.
Now that is a nicely done meetup report.
Really? It's such nice people. Wow. That's cool.
I know the servers are always like, oh, wow. They're all good tippers. I'm sure that's it.
They're like, the insanity is okay. They're all having a lot of fun. There are some meetups coming up, including today, which is the JCD Inn Memorandum Memorial at 3.33 p.m. north of Toronto Time.

I mean, if you don't see something close to you,
which is going to be very rare right now,
but if you don't see anything close to you,
it's very easy.
You can set up your own meetup listed there.
And protection is connection,
as the podfather always says.
And it's true.
Try it out.
It's totally true.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
Yeah, it is like a party.
And I have a couple of ISO.
We have to start getting you to get ISOs as well.
But I put the word out there.
And again, I'm going to like slam my head here because I didn't write down who sent these in.
So bad me.
I apologize.
But we did have somebody send in.
I asked for some of like the JCD favorites kind of thing.
Cool.
So we do have two of those.
This was the first one.
The only one that I brought is this one.
And it didn't really.
today wasn't so bad, but...
Stop stumping the podcaster.
I thought that was good from the podfather.
I mean, that should really...
You know what?
This should be on a button that I can hit.
So anytime somebody sends something and I'm like,
oh, I don't know what...
Then it's just...
Stop stumping the podcaster.
That's good. Yeah, make that a prime button.
But the two from Sophia,
one of JCD's favorite was...
Chef's Kiss Amazing.
So there's that.
That short and sweet, that's within the normal timing of a no agenda iso.
But I really like this one.
That was most fulfilling, the hilarious, amazing thing I've ever heard.
Which one?
Yeah.
Really, I mean, it may be lying on this episode, but I mean, I think we can go along with that one.
And how you feeling there?
We made it through another one?
I'm feeling pretty good.
Yeah. I'm almost ready for Thursday.
Well, let's, hey, let's not be a workaholic here or anything.
No, no, no, no.
That is going to do it for another edition of the Best Damn podcast in the Universe.
For those of you sticking around, and we hope you do on the mighty No Agenda Stream.
Up next is, really, just too good old boy, Sir Gene and dude named Ben, named Ben?
Sir Benrose chose this. Sir Gene says he never chooses a show.
see. Yeah. That is a not the truth. So you can stay along and listen to that one. There were no end of show mixes.
So I think I'll throw in a while DeVorax chair gently squeaks. And just until next time, coming to you live just outside of Shirek right here in FEMA region number five in the morning, everybody. I am Darren O'Neill.
