Who hasn't been canceled?
It's the no-aggender show!
It is Sunday, August 16th, 2026.
This is your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 1895,
broadcasting live from just outside of Shirek,
right here in FEMA, region number five.
In the morning, everybody, I am Darren O'Neill.
And from the pretentious Connecticut Shore,
this is Larry Blydner, keeping commies and creeps at bay
with my gleaming scimitar of proof.
Yeah, I mean, that was it, man.
Woo!
I love that new intro.
The chick's voice and it's great.
It's great stuff.
Nice work, Darren.
Larry wanted chicks.
I know.
It wasn't just bakers.
He brought in a bunch and it's like, well, we need the stuff to talk over and it needs to be a little quieter.
And I'm like, let me go back into Suno and see and move everything around.
And yeah, that's AI.
And people are going to be like, oh, faking gay.
Then you put something in, send something in.
I'm, where's Sir Chris Vox?
We're some heavy metal directly from somebody that can play the guitar and sing.
There we go.
But like, we can do the theremin.
Let's add some theremin.
Got to have some theremin.
It always adds a certain creepy vibe, which we dig.
Even on a beautiful Sunday morning, what's it like in Chicago, Shirek, excuse me, this morning or this afternoon, Darren.
Tell me.
Well, you're right with the time because I had been doing the rocket roll pre-show for, like,
like 700 episodes.
And I was always just, okay, I did that.
And then I went to have lunch.
I forget that this show is like I should eat something before the show.
So literally like five minutes ago, I'm like, oh crap, this is going to be through.
I'm going to be hungry.
Uh-oh.
So I had to go grab a bar, a little bit of pudding.
You know, something like that just to get you going.
You need something.
Definitely.
But the rain finally stock for like the first time in a week.
the rain stopped so you've been getting rained on all this time yeah pretty much
no no it's no fun but it's 82 degrees now so you never know what's gonna happen you never know
it's a picture perfect day in connecticut well what is that for connecticut though nice and cool
or it's like uh it's like high 70s puffy whites uh very low humidity it's kind of like
California.
Why would you do that then?
Right, exactly.
But it's been rainy too out of here.
But, you know, we're still breathing.
It's all it matters.
It's the only way to go.
Yeah.
And we do encourage people to keep sending things in, clips and openers and all that.
And donations.
Donations.
The voice of JCD passed.
It's like what you need to do is you need to donate.
Keep the show going.
vote and let people know that, you know, you want to keep this pairing here.
That's it.
You've got.
Donate.
Donate.
Donate.
Karma.
Yeah, everybody gets that really should be the one without the karma.
Well, you'll get karma.
It's free.
Mm-hmm.
But donate.
We are bringing you the best in media deconstruction.
And nothing's going on in the world.
world at all, Larry. Have you noticed how boring it is?
You are so. You got to stop fibbing. Don't fib this early in the show. Save it for later.
Like, you have so much to do. Yeah. And I love, I mean, I've been reading the Reddit threads and
people like, these guys suck, man. I love the same people will complain, Darren and Larry,
their voices sound way too radio. And then in another message, they're like, they're not playing
enough of the jingles. Like, well, do you know that's the radio sound, right? That's the whole.
It's the whole bit.
Like, they don't even play the bell, man.
Well, why don't they play the bell?
Well, I have one of those little, I get one of those bells.
I'd get one if you want.
Yeah.
Ding, ding, ding.
Well, that's, Reddit is so weird, man.
I rarely visit that place because it's just, it's out there.
It is.
You can't believe anything that you read on Reddit.
No.
And for everybody that was like, oh, and then Adam was really mad that people were telling
him to do the show with Mimi.
So I thought about it.
Like, everybody on Reddit, do me a face.
get your wife or your children to write your post because it's just the same as you
according to Adam should do the show with Mimi then well then your wife should be the same
put her on Reddit instead of you it's going to be exactly the same right because you can just
interchange anybody I think Reddit is mostly comprised of aOC voters living in their
basement yeah of the parents house without a job without hope
Quite possibly without a lot of hope.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But which one of these things do you want to jump into first from the Trump Decoy plane to the Louis and Iran?
You know what?
I'm going to do a switcheroo on you, Darren.
I know I had Emily Gallagher label is number one.
But since we were talking about people living in their parents' basements, I think we have to start with clip two.
Abdul is blues clues, that one.
Okay, so I get a little setup here.
Okay.
Now, are you hip to blues clues?
I have nieces and nephews who were very big into, is he still around?
I know there's like a weird dude and there was like a handy dandy notebook and something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, for those that may not know, it was a kid's show back probably at least 20 years ago or more,
hosted by a guy, very nice young dude dressed in a rugby shirt and jeans.
And it was probably created for kids from.
I would say, what would say, like maybe three to eight years old, something like that.
Yeah.
So the parents can, like, put them in front of the television and be like, ah, that's your babysitter.
Yes.
And also, unlike Sesame Street and so many other things, it wasn't at all slanted.
There was no political message in Blue's Clues, which was reason I let me just let my kids watch it.
And they liked it a lot.
And so this kid's, this guy sitting there and he had like a digital, you know, fake screen behind him.
And Blue was the name of his dog.
It was like this cute little hound dog, except it was, it was, it was a,
a fake. It was a digital cartoon thing.
And they would learn to count and the
alphabet and all that kind of stuff. So, that
said, this
Abdul El Sejand
posted this actually
a few weeks ago and it just resurfaced
everywhere, talking
about, well, voting
and Medicare and so forth. And he
is dressed like the Blues
Clues Kid. On purpose?
On purpose. On purpose
with the exact same set.
Little cartoon things kind of wick in
out of the screen and it's beyond belief.
You got to hear this.
Indctrination, anyone?
Oh, yeah.
Which is why we need money out of politics,
money in your pocket,
and Medicare for all.
Here's the mail.
It never fails.
It makes me want to whack my tail.
When it comes, I want to whale.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
This is else I had singing and doing a bit.
This is not AI.
This is legit.
This is real.
Yes.
This is who people in Michigan want to
put into office,
into the Senate,
yeah,
right in Washington, D.C.
Thanks, mailbox.
We just got a letter.
We just got a letter.
We just got a letter.
I wonder who it's from.
Do you love this?
What I'm loving this.
To our buddy NetNed,
who lives in the great state,
well,
once great state of Michigan.
Yeah.
He's been working on a boots on the ground
that he said is probably
going to have to be multiple pages and reports because of how bad things are. And I believe it now.
This is cementing that. Oh, yeah. Like, wow. Wow. It looks like my ballot brought to me by my
secretary of state. And with it, I can participate in democracy. The first day that I can turn
this in is June 25th, but has to be postmarked by July 21st. Or I can.
drop it off up until election day, which is August 4th.
Thanks, Secretary of State.
Thanks, mailbox.
Votes gonna do, we can't do.
You should be thanking the U.S. Postal Service, which...
Yes.
May or may not get your ballots there on time.
Yeah.
Now, here's what I, here's the really, kind of the backstory on this.
I saw this posted on X, and there was an avalanche.
I mean a fire hose of comments saying,
what are you an idiot?
You're just all negative stuff.
Grow up,
get a job,
whatever, et cetera, et cetera.
And then I realized he's no idiot, man.
He's very, very smart
because this content goes right to the heart
of most of his electorate
because he's talking to kid adults.
True.
People who never, really, they never grew up.
They want someone to take care of them
because they either can't or don't want to do it themselves.
So we're all on a kiddie show together.
It's blues, clues, and Daddy Abdul will take care of you.
And think about it, Darren, how many times, how many times going back, maybe even to the Clintons,
did people sort of refer to them as like, America's mom and dad?
I don't know if you ever did.
I know I didn't.
No.
And then it was Michelle and Obama.
And then it was Joey and Jill, right?
Then what was it, Reese Witherspoon?
That's, oh, your mama to come out.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
We all need a mama.
Exactly.
So this guy, this guy is very, very sharp.
And he's not afraid to look like an idiot in service to grabbing votes.
And a lot of his people are going to say yes.
Because of that goofy cartoon.
Well, because he seems so likable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Be clear when I was in college, I was the one walking around with a t-shirt that had a drawing of Bill Clinton's face on it.
And on the front it said, if Bill Clinton is the answer, and on the back it said, it must be a really stupid question.
So yeah, I've always been on the right.
And I'm not going to get any heat over that from your fellow students?
At that time, no, because it was still early.
True.
Who's going to, you know, really?
This is true.
And it was in the late 80s, early 90s era.
So it was a little bit of a different time.
But even then, obviously.
the university, which was a Catholic university,
DePaul University in Chicago,
was going completely woke.
I was a communications major.
I'm sure that's not a surprise to anybody.
He likes to talk.
The head of the department was a lesbian
who liked to spend way too much of the class time
talking about her and her partner going down to,
I think it was Peru,
one of those kind of Southern American countries to adopt a child.
And so it's gotten a lot worse from the boots on the round that we've all heard.
And of course, these kids who are being promised things without understanding the ramifications, it's easy.
If somebody walks up to you and like, hey, do you want X amount of money or do you want this prize?
Well, yes.
Like on game show.
Remember when that all broke like, hey, somebody won $100,000.
on a game show, yay.
And then they're like, but then I had to pay $20,000 in taxes.
And I can't afford $20,000 in taxes.
It's because the electorate overall is not paying attention.
I mean, since we're on socials,
I'm going to run a Chris Matthews clip one.
I was interested that he's still alive.
Me too.
I think I saw this one.
And you know what?
He's been gone.
What, would you say maybe 10 years by now?
Probably.
I think so.
I mean, that would be my guess between 5 and 10.
since the, it was Obama, the shiver up his leg, and then that was kind of his going out the door.
So it might even be 12 years ago or so.
And let's, he was also canceled for some reason.
He didn't leave voluntarily.
What happened?
We need to, you know, we need, we need that, we need that book of knowledge guy.
Right.
We need that directly up.
Yeah.
But here's what I was thinking, just to divert just for a moment is, I was thinking about this a lot.
we need a book of knowledge chick.
Right?
Too often.
So Adam has his with the guy with a low voice.
Yes.
Yes.
And you or some other Ben or maybe Adam,
somebody cooked this up for us.
And she's got a really sexy voice,
really sexy.
But she's kind of snarky and snoddy.
So we ask her a question.
She's like,
what do you want now?
Stop bothering me.
Exactly.
Wouldn't that be fun?
That was the other fun thing on Reddit was,
I look these guys up.
Who are they?
And they have this show called Planet's Rage that always has pornographic album art.
It's like, what?
You mean my fully clothed redheads and Irish pubs?
Oh, that's it.
Yeah.
But this, I mean, this is what the, it has to be a leftist.
Sorry.
Sorry for pointing at that because they're the only ones that would look at a fully clothed woman and go, that's porn.
Of course.
Yes.
No, it's a picture.
Yeah.
And it's a pointing chick.
And it's all created by Grock.
So all hail Elon.
They are.
But here is Chris Matthew.
They probably never saw a real woman.
That may be the problem.
That's the answer.
And they're like, we don't understand what this is.
Here's what I think.
And I've been thinking about this for days now.
The DSA has done a favor to non-DSA Democrats, to regular Democrats, who are regular
members of the party.
They've listed what they believe in.
Their chair made that clear.
It's in Peggy Nunes column this week.
It's very clear.
We're going to get rid of ICE.
just ice we're going to get rid of the border. We're not going to have a border anymore. We're
not going to effectively control people coming in and out of the country. And so I think
we're going to get rid of prisons. You know, we're going to get rid of the Pentagon. We're going to
negotiate. Well, what happens when you're hostages are your former diplomats like what happened
with President Carter? People take your diplomats hostages. What do you do then? You need
an army. You don't not like to like to have an army, but you do need to have one.
All these positions can be denied by any regular Democrat.
All you have to do is go out there to say, thank you, DSA, for telling us what you believe in.
I don't believe in that stuff.
And why haven't they?
That's the question.
We've been asking this on Planet Rage for the last five years, which was, why are the moderate,
normal Democrats?
And it seems there's less of them now.
But why have they been acquiescing to this new, very radical part?
I mean, is it all just money?
Is it all just fear?
I don't understand how you can sell your whole soul and country down the toilet.
They're all commies, darn, all of them.
I mean, the ones that say you don't need an army, it's like, okay, let's just understand for one minute that if you had no army, this country would be taken over within seconds.
Well, they are in favor of an army, and that's the one that's dispersed or dispatched or dispatched,
by the flock cameras to say, get that citizen.
He dropped a gum wrapper.
You're much safer.
We can see you,
but we really can't do anything about it.
Yeah, you know,
that's the army they want,
the federal,
you know,
the police state.
I'm kind of getting it.
Somebody's sitting in a room
with 8,000 monitors
watching everything that's going on
and going,
well, look, there's an armed robbery
or there's a sexual assault.
What can we do?
Well, nothing.
We don't have police or anybody anymore.
Yeah.
Like, but we have cameras.
I mean,
way, put anybody in jail, but we have cameras. Well, they won't put anybody in jail for anything
that matters, but like being maybe a podcaster saying the wrong things, that'll get you locked up.
True. They're coming for us, man. Oh, wait, here, we agreed. Okay, we rang the bell.
Woo! By the way, I checked Chris Matthews was bounced for allegations of sexual harassment. So there
we go. Oh, like Bill O'Reilly, which means none of it was probably true. And it was, again, a way to get rid
somebody that you didn't like.
And I love how people are very, very specific about who they believe and who they don't.
And I'm getting, I get tired of that.
It's like if you believe somebody like Bill O'Reilly and I do, I also believe Chris Matthews.
If he says he didn't do it, it's like, where's the proof?
If there's no proof, you know, for guys that have the audience that O'Reilly and Matthews had
in the past, silencing them, they tried to do it to rush.
They tried to do it to Hannity.
They tried to do it to any conservative voice without fail.
And Matthews probably said something the ultra left didn't like.
So like this.
What he's saying right here?
Oh, man, the DSA people, they don't want to hear this.
Well, real proof has become kind of optional, hasn't it?
And in proof of that, there's a story about another.
This is really funny.
You know that Sinatra song, That's Life, right?
That's a flying high in April, shot down in May, right?
Well, this guy was flying high in August and shot down a week later.
This is, his name is Matt Gutman.
You heard about this one?
No, I don't think so.
He was, now this is, this is classic.
And you got to kind of look behind this because I think there's more to the story than they're telling or someone's telling.
CBS Evening News scored its best weekly audience in months as struggling anchor Tolny Doca Bill was on vacation.
And I've seen Tony.
He's pretty damn boring.
Tony's show average 4.1 million viewers for the week of July 27th.
I'm sorry, this is this other guy, the replacement guy, Matt Gutman.
He got 4.1 million viewers for the week of July 27th, according to Nielsen, making the show's best performance in 17 weeks.
And the first time the evening news is topped the 4 million viewer mark since late March.
These upbeat numbers came in as Matt Gutman filled in for Doca Bill,
who has been struggling to keep the show's ratings up, right?
Now, Hosanna, Gutman's probably feeling real good about that, isn't he?
Sure he is.
One week later,
CBS star Matt Gutman, is facing a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit.
There you go!
Yeah, as his turn behind the CBS Evening News Desk helped deliver the struggling network,
our ratings boost.
The 48-year-old was sued Friday by former ABC Newsfield reporter Samira Saeed,
who accused him of making inappropriate sexual remarks,
during two assignments.
When, Darren?
Years ago.
Has to be years ago.
You got it.
You got a tap.
Not just years ago.
You said to four at the mic.
I heard it.
That was me.
I was getting just ticulating with joy over the story.
So it says that she filed a lawsuit in L.A. Superior Court, naming Gutman, ABC News,
and the parent company, the Walt Disney Company, as defendants right now.
Do you think, isn't the timing of this suit rather strange?
Yeah, you waited until you saw him on TV and went home.
Yeah.
For somebody doesn't want them there, so let's do this.
This is the playbook.
The company Mediaite, what there was that the one that all went after?
Was the concerted effort going after the advertisers of Limbaugh?
It's really where it started with like Limbaugh and Fox News.
Yes.
And then it kind of just steamroll from there because they realized people had zero spine.
and at any hint of a scandal at all,
they would pull their advertising.
And I was having a conversation with Serjean the Russian handler the other day
about YouTube videos.
And it's a very similar thing.
He's like,
you can't easily make money on YouTube if you're doing a show like ours.
Like no agenda, like Planet Rage, like that area.
You can't make money because advertisers run.
away. Where you're making money are, oh, let's talk about Lego or let's talk about something
so vanilla that there can never be any controversy. That's where the advertisers want to put
their money because of this. Sure. Yeah. So somehow Gene is making money by putting like very
boring space video games up there and he's like, point to the warning. Uh-huh. But it's great.
I mean, if you can make money doing it, that's, uh, yeah, that's great. But it's because the Hutter
content doesn't make money. And this does not surprise me, except the guy's name,
it's funny because you say Gutman, the first thing I think is Gutfeld. And I'm like,
is it, no, no, the other guy. Gotman. Now, the interesting thing is too, I think whoever this
woman's attorneys are to file this now, I think they're, they're not that sharp. Because if I was
those guys, I would wait until Gutman, who looks like he was lining up to replace
do, do pukle, whatever his name is, wait until he's really entrenched and maybe, maybe
be capping five million years a night.
Then you sue.
Now,
now CBS is going to give you a lot more go away money
with a guy like that sitting in place.
But is it about the money
or is it about getting rid of the guy?
Well, it could be both.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nobody said people on the left are all that smart.
No.
No.
This is just a quick drop from a Chelsea handler,
which made me.
Did you see this one?
Oh, yeah.
We're going to get Todd Blanche.
He's going to be confirmed.
And he's going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What?
What? He's going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Wait a minute.
Didn't that happen already?
Yes, years ago.
Supreme Court.
We're all sitting around.
All these men who have these powerful platforms are sitting around watching this happen to women,
to communities that you could instead be supporting.
You don't have to, like, turn over a whole new leaf.
It's just about being a decent human being.
Right.
And this again was with Kara Swisher.
Yes.
And she says right.
So is Kara Swisher ignorant of the fact that Roe v. Wade was already thrown down by the Supreme Court?
But it's like, what are these people on the news for?
This is why you cannot believe anything you see on any news program.
It doesn't matter what network it's on or what podcast it's on.
Always double check your work, kids, because the anchors very, very,
very rarely are going to push back.
If Kara Swisher had any idea of what was going on or journalistic credibility, she'd be like,
well, what do you mean overturned Roe v. Wade?
How is he going to do that?
The Supreme Court did that.
But you wouldn't do that because Chelsea's her buddy.
Right.
It's like you can't know.
That would be inconvenient.
Yeah.
But it's the socialist commie way.
You just, we'll change words.
Yes, it is.
People are like, we're tired of hearing about commies.
You know what?
We are too.
Yeah.
But this is what is dominating the news.
This is AOC since we're on the socialist.
Let's run through the socialist clips.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
And I have a local city councilman that has this saying woke one was crazy.
Vogue one was crazy.
You were woke one, AOC.
I mean, well, what part was crazy then?
She was pretty much on the forefront of the original woke push.
One was crazy.
Oak one was crazy.
And I think that what's important is...
And the guy she's talking to on ABC says, that's true.
Did you hear ABC when this was all going on saying,
oh, all these things AOC and her like her saying are they're crazy?
So why is he agreeing with her now?
because again,
they really don't know what's going on.
They are just bobbing their heads.
Sure.
Going along.
I mean, if this guy was sharp,
he would have said,
well,
was your prediction that we'd all be dead
in eight years from climate change?
Was that part of woke one?
Or is that still stand, AOC?
Yes.
Is the world ending or the...
Yes.
That's what she said.
Water is rising.
Oh, yeah.
We have to go all green,
even though we don't have enough electricity.
we all should have cars that we won't be able to charge.
Or, you know, when storms go through like they have in my home state of Illinois,
well, the power's been down for so many.
Like every storm seems to be taking down about a quarter million customers,
according to just the local Chicago area.
That's not even outside of the Chicago metropolitan area.
Are out of power.
It's like, well, you don't want a gas car.
You know. No.
No. Just take our bikes.
Yes.
We have to assess what.
Was it?
I mean, did the movement go too far with some of those positions?
I mean, you briefly supported the idea of defunding the police.
Well, you know, I think that during the-
And I also want to ask you, because maybe I missed something, you know,
when did AOC back away from defunding the police?
He's like, you at one point were backing defunding the police.
Did AOC ever come back out and say, no, no, I think the police need money.
I don't remember seeing that, but I might have missed it.
I challenge you to find that clip, Darren, and I'll pay you handsomely if you can.
But if you can, you won't me.
Right.
No, thank you.
That's not a bad bad.
All right.
During this time, and during, especially during COVID, there was a huge opening of the
overtime window.
We were shut down.
There was some of the highest unemployment rates that we have seen because.
I mean, we were shut down.
Why, AOC?
Yeah.
Joey? No. Joey.
Of those shutdowns.
And I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place.
And I actually think that the discussions that were had in that time were quite fruitful.
I think that when we talk about crime today, it's fundamentally different than the way that we talked about crime in bringing crime down, right?
And I think that we all share in the goals of having as low a crime rate as possible.
I think that, you know, during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today.
And I'm grateful that these candidates have the opportunity to present who they are to their electorate and what they're campaigning on in this moment.
Yeah, we just saw one of them singing the blues clues on or something.
And so rhetoric for her is a synonym for lies.
So is that what she means by that rhetoric?
I think so.
She's a DSC.
I mean, she is not a regular Democrat.
She has said that she is
part of the Democrat socialist
movement and they want to
according to their co-chair
abolish police, abolish prisons,
abolish the presidency,
abolish the Supreme Court.
So AOC will tell you
well, we all want
crime to go down.
We all have that same goal.
And she will tell you that while also understanding that she believes and her group believes,
well, the way to do this is to never incarcerate anybody.
And I think that's just insanity.
Yeah, but maybe it holds water, Darren, because she did say, she said,
it's a direct quote, crime is fundamentally different now.
Right, than it was.
But he didn't ask her how.
Right.
How would that be?
AOC, but details don't matter.
Yes. How, when, where, and why.
That's what a story should be if you're a journalist.
And yeah, they don't ask.
And you're like, well, why don't you ask?
Why do you just keep bobbing your head and saying, oh, okay, yep, yep, yep.
Because they're there to promote.
Not to question, really.
Well, this is the issue.
You've also got the clip here, and I think I have the close to the same one.
Your clip number one kind of fits right in, I think, with the,
Oh, Emily.
You were going to love Emily Gallagher.
Yes.
What is crime?
That's a question, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
I like that.
Just like AOC, what is crime?
Really, I mean, you know, it's, you've got to have different levels.
You do.
Most of what we saw were crimes of poverty.
People who were stealing things like toothpaste.
People who are stealing things like, you know, soap.
And that means if you're stealing those things, you need them.
And we are choosing.
to protect
billion dollar companies like
CBS and Walgreens
over the people
who are struggling to get by.
So I would say that
the true crime is that
there is such incredible
wealth disparity
in this city that there are people
who can be thrown in jail
simply for having a biological need.
And so one of the things
that I'm finding for it...
And I will ask, is it
a biological need to have soap.
Humans existed for a long
time on this planet when soap was not
a thing. I think
if we wanted to, we could check
with both CVS and Walgreens
and ask just how the soap pilfering,
how severe a problem that is.
And I'll guarantee you, they'll say,
not very. No.
No, I'm sure for people that will, they
grab a bunch of things, usually things
that they can resell. Yeah.
And in much lower price,
it's the perfect way to run a store.
If you can go steal everything from somebody else, then sell it out of the trunk of your car.
Oh, definitely.
Yeah.
But yeah, well, why doesn't this New York Assembly person, Emily Gallagher, at her office, wherever it is, I don't know which borough she's out of, but why aren't you giving away bars a soap?
Good question.
Or opening up the bathrooms to the public.
Come use ours.
Wash up here.
Exactly.
But you would think if it really is just things like.
a soap that you could get one of these companies, it would be great, sponsored by, you know,
dove or dial or whoever.
Irish Spring.
I get to send to the Irish.
But she just lies because there are countless homeless shelters and food banks and so forth
that are giving that stuff away right now.
Okay.
So she's just lying.
Well, the CVS's and the Walgreens that have left these areas have been pretty clear
about the amount of money they are losing to theft.
And it's not a small amount and it is certainly not just soap and toothpaste.
No.
But you know, you expect these companies.
When she says we're protecting these companies,
you mean we are enforcing the laws that people don't steal?
Or do you mean that we're not forcing them at gunpoint to remain open in areas where they
cannot make a profit due to the constant shoplifting armed robberies.
And there have been multiple stories of these things, multiple stores having these problems.
Sure.
And the communities then go, well, what do you mean?
That's racist that you're leaving.
Well, it's like, no.
One, the employees in the store are in danger because of the amount of crime in your area.
And they're being robbed so much.
there was one, I think it was in New York,
one of these AutoZone or one of these other auto parts stores
that was like completely looted twice within a 24-hour period.
That's by hungry people you should know.
Of course.
Everybody drinks motor oil, everyone.
Right.
They're just, there's a thing in necessity.
You can't do anything about it.
It's like if your whole store,
if you haven't seen the videos, you're not looking at all.
But when you see these things happen,
where a crowd of 20 to 50, maybe more people all go in at the same time and just take whatever they want and run out.
The store is fairly empty by the time that is done.
It's not somebody going in and grabbing a loaf of bread or a quart of motor oil or whatever.
It's taking everything that they can.
And you expect the stores to stay open.
How?
And so one of the things that I'm finding for at the state level is to make sure we pass things like treatment, not jail, and that we hold the line.
Oh, there you go. Treatment not jail.
Treatment not jail.
You can't put them in, can't incarcerate them.
No, we're going to treat them.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Like, oh, that's going to take care of it.
It's like, oh, we're not going to send cops.
No.
We're going to send social workers.
And shrinks.
Exactly.
They're going to take care of everything until they start getting shot at.
Then they run.
Yeah.
On the incredible criminal justice reforms that we have done over the last 10 and 20 years that are constantly being threatened by right-wing media who are looking to fearmonger about people who are actually just in absolute dire straits.
Yeah, it's fearmongering. Reporting on crimes is fearmongering.
Totally.
Yes.
Just take that beating and shut up.
Change the wording.
Change the language.
No, you're fearmongering.
You can't tell that people looted this store and, you know, physically assaulted the cashiers and bloodied them.
No, no, that's fearmongering, telling people the truth of what's going on.
This concept of having no punishment for crimes makes zero sense when you understand that there are some human beings who are just going to commit crimes.
You're not going to stop them.
Yeah.
There's nothing you can do.
I don't know what it is in their DNA, but you aren't going to stop them.
And when you go, well, the worst thing that you could possibly do,
and you and I discussed this a few years ago in Shirek here,
when the question of why carjackings were going through the roof.
And there was an assemblyman here in Chicago who put out a statement like,
this is all because of these violent video games like Grand Theft Auto.
Yes.
Yes.
I recall that.
And I'm like, no, no, it's not.
It's because Preck Winkle, Perry Winkle, what's their name?
Prec Winkle, I think that they changed the law that if you were under the age of 18,
you were not going to be tried as an adult for carjacking.
And they put that out there.
And then what happened?
Carjackings went way up by people under the age of 18.
And they were surprised.
It's like taking away the punishment had an effect.
And they were like amazed that taking away the punishment was having that kind of an effect.
It's like this is not something that you need to go to school for.
This is not something you need a psychological degree for.
This is nothing you need except common sense that if people feel like they can
get away with bad behavior and have no consequences, they are much more likely to do so.
But what they would answer you with Darren is those teenage carjackers were stealing those
cars because they were hungry.
They had a necessity.
They needed some wheels, baby.
Absolutely.
Got to get some wheels so I can drive it through the front of a supermarket and clean that out.
Go someplace else.
Right.
They're like, how dare you have a car when this.
poor kid here doesn't have one.
Exactly.
You should let him use your car, right?
Yes.
I mean, speaking of Shirek, this is our ex-Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who I think has some aspirations
to throw his hat in the ring to be the Democratic presidential nominee.
Oh, yeah.
I'd love to see him against Newskam, Captain Herschel.
That'd be a funny battle.
Yeah.
It would.
And at least a Ram Emanuel, though.
You know, if this is that kind of a matchup, Emmanuel.
Emmanuel, according to what I'm about to play, is positioning himself as more of the moderate,
which I don't know if that's going along with how he's always governed, but I mean,
if you're going up against New Scum, then you have to take a step to the center, I think.
B, I want to be very clear.
If you control the border, you send a signal that people who break the law don't get rewarded.
And I'm so angry at my party, not only losing control the border, but in the 2020 debate, raising your hand and saying, I'm going to give health care to people that cross illegally.
Forget the immigration policy, the value system.
You have American families suffocating under health care costs.
Not everybody universally covered, but we're significantly well on our way there.
And you're talking about free health care to having crossed the border illegally.
legally at every level that was foolish by the party.
Yeah, let me play the part of your typical journalist.
What do you make of that, Larry?
Well, what I make is he used an interesting phrase when he said people across the border
illegally are not going to be rewarded.
Well, that's pretty goddamn weak, ROM.
The correct response to that question is they're going to be.
be deported and were prosecuted because they've committed a crime. But saying they're not going to
be rewarded, that kind of puts it in a different light, doesn't it? I think it does. A little bit.
And all these guys, this is the standard play that they all do, whether it's Joey, what it is. I'm a
moderate. I'm a moderate. Until they get into office, then that goes out the window. Well, that's easy to
claim you're a moderate. Yeah, of course. But this is how you get elected. And that's usually the way it is.
I'm still, I don't understand where are the crossovers?
Where are the people that are willing to put in the time?
You're a tried and true conservative and you just pretend to be a liberal and you run in New York or Detroit or whatever it is.
You get elected and then go, surprise.
Yeah, where are those guys?
That's a great question.
See, this is where we need Minerva or Sybil or whatever, that chick.
We need that girl.
I can't believe it hasn't happened.
That is the, you know, the Manchurian.
and candidate kind of a concept.
Like sell something.
Yeah. And get to where you need to be and then just be like, well, I'm not going to really
vote the way you think I am.
Hmm.
And just a quick clip here, just to show that we do cover every now and then things that
happen outside of the United States.
Oh.
These are our buddies from Grimerica.
Great show.
Yes.
Talking about what I'm guessing from what I understood, from what I've heard.
A new Canadian law about hate speech.
Who do?
Who do?
The caregivers that are motivated by bias against the victims, blah, blah, blah, which are not a criminal offense.
For example, disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful.
It's pretty subjective.
Disrespectful, discriminatory, or hostile speech.
Wow.
I hate.
I know.
Disrespectful.
Who gets it aside.
Well, we know who gets to decide
Whoever is in charge of the government at that time.
I think just the normal RCMP
climbs down off of his Palomino and says,
that wasn't very respectful.
You're going to jail.
To who?
But it gets better.
A hate bias motivated incident may be determined
to be a hate bias motivated crime
upon further investigation.
Yeah, we can look for your hate bias.
Wow.
Hate bias by Hasbro.
There's a little spruce.
There's a spinner arrow there on that game, I hope, yes.
Well, there should be at the very least.
Yes.
It's a party game.
Yeah.
Incident example, an individual creates a social media post promoting the boycott of companies that support the 2SLGBQI plus community.
Whoa.
Yeah.
So boycotting.
Yeah.
an LGBTQ plus community event or organization,
just boycotting them is now going to be a crime in Canada?
Congratulations, Canadians.
Yeah, well, they could shrink the,
the penal code very simply by just saying wrong think
will be prosecuted because that's what they're talking about.
It's very scary.
Very.
That'd be a bias crime.
Wow.
but it's okay the other way, though.
This is the crazy, infuriating thing.
I feel like we're living in a dream.
But they can be completely hateful to Pierre, Pauliev, all the conservatives, anything normal.
They can be super hateful and bias against that.
But that's going to be okay.
So it's hate one way, one way hate.
Yeah.
One way it is.
When you're putting this in to the legal code.
which is, well, it's a hate bias to do this to an LGBTQ,
but it's not to do the same thing to a straight organization, straight person, whatever.
It's like, well, that's not an honorable thing.
Well, no.
And in the United States, the first time any government agency proclaimed anybody, a protected class,
that was just a basically a step upwards in racism.
because if you're protected and the other class isn't,
well, they're kind of below you, aren't they?
Yes, they are.
And that is the overall viewpoint that people are bringing.
I know this is a little out of left field,
but this is in honor of JCD who,
I mean, I was getting kind of sad.
We haven't had any whatever girls on the show.
And this kind of goes in with that.
It's what...
Wait a minute, what girls?
What, whatever girls?
There's a whatever podcast.
Okay.
And then there's a bunch of women that are on there who are like only fans, models, things like that.
And this is a two-parter with the same woman who was a young black woman.
And they're discussing what is and isn't racist, which goes right along with what the Grimica boys were just saying.
As a black person, even if I was racist towards a white person, it doesn't have the same effect.
as if a white person were racist towards me.
That's what I meant.
You know, like the jail system,
more black people go to jail than white people, you know.
But let me ask you this.
A black person walks up to a white person,
not aggravated, just punches them in the face
because that person is white.
Is that racism?
I don't think it's racism.
What?
Maybe prejudice.
I've heard a black.
Right.
Maybe it's prejudice.
If you see a white person and you just hit them with a brick,
I mean, that's not really racist.
That's just having prejudice.
You see the difference?
No, I don't either.
Black man come up to me on a train.
He's peed in my face and he called me a white that I should myself.
I think that's racist.
Wait, that happens?
Yes, that actually happened in New York.
Bro, she could have been Irina Zer.
Oh.
Who's Ukrainian.
Who's Ukrainian, right?
Yes.
In her instance, was that an act of racism that she experienced?
If you want to call that racism, then sure.
I just don't know.
Not what I call it.
I probably call it racism.
Do you call it racism?
And he specifically said something about your...
Yes.
Maybe prejudice.
What?
So again, this young black female sitting right across next to whatever she was with a young
white female Ukrainian girl who had somebody come up on a train or something and spit in her face and call her a white bitch.
is that racist?
Well, no, I don't really think that that's racist.
How?
How? Well, it's because only white racism matters, of course.
Can black people be racist towards other minority groups?
No.
So can the black person be racist towards an Asian person?
Why don't you want to say it?
You can just say it.
No, because can black people be racist towards Asians?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Wait, can black people be racist towards Latinos?
I feel like minority on minority.
It just doesn't mean anything.
I don't know.
I'd explain it.
It's just...
Okay, I'm with the woman that said what?
Minority on minority, it doesn't mean anything.
I'm trying to wrap my brain around that.
That it only matters if it is a white person against any other minority.
That's the only racism that this.
woman believes there is. Anybody that is not white that is actively hostile, actively
assaulting, actively hating another person just because of the color of their skin, because
of their ethnicity, well, that's not racism.
And it's very. This is so, and I understand why JCD brought a lot of these. One, they bring a little
levity, but they also scare the hell out of you when you realize these women are not alone
in the way they think.
No, no.
I don't know.
What do you mean by it doesn't mean anything?
Like.
So it's only bad when white people do something.
Because that's the main core, though.
Political.
First of all, I am not racist.
It is a little bit racist to say that white people or other minorities can't face racism
from black people.
I'm just saying that it doesn't have the same effect.
And if it doesn't have the same effect, it kind of just.
doesn't matter if that makes sense.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Bro, she's actually racist.
Yes.
Hmm.
Wow.
Yeah, I mean, okay.
Wow.
Again, the Katerina,
Carisco, I'm bad with the names,
with the woman.
Saratutska from Charlotte.
Charlotte, yes.
She was killed,
dead because of the color of her skin.
What do you mean it doesn't have the same effect
if it goes the other way?
That's just insanity.
That's just...
Well, maybe she missed that story.
It's indoctrination 101.
She probably watches blues clues with El Sire.
Right?
I don't know.
Let's get that mail-in ballot.
That's all it matters.
How many ballots did he have, though?
It should have been like a thousand mail-in ballots, like fell out for your friends.
Just one.
He's not that special.
If he was special like me in L.A., it's gotten eight when I only needed two.
And if you would have sent those in with the wrong vote,
be in jail right now. They would have come for you. Don't worry. Definitely. Yeah.
Now, if you would have put those all in voted Democrat, then they might have just.
Probably not. Yeah. They didn't notice that. It was just a rounding error.
Yeah. Where do you want to go next? Well, well, well, since we were going briefly
offshore or over the border, there's a couple of funny stories here from the UK about apparently
they've been suffering through some wildfires, Darren.
Interesting.
Like Canada and the United States and...
Yeah, yeah.
And I have some experience of those,
having lived in L.A. as long as I did.
And usually, when they used to begin,
when I first got to L.A.,
there's always been fires in Los Angeles,
even before there were people there.
That's just a very dry place.
But they would call it what it was back in the day,
and most of them were arson,
including the most famous one of all now.
which of course is the Pacific Palisades conflagration,
which was set by some creep.
Didn't just happen.
And even, you know, Karen Bass, who was partying in Ghana as the city burned,
she doesn't want to mention that because that sort of kind of undercuts the climate change position, doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
Yes.
I mean, no agenda pointed out they had hands on a book from the 1800s,
pointed out the amount of wildfires going on even then.
Long before we had electric lines and cell towers and all of us.
Yes, absolutely.
So they've been raging in the UK and I have two clips.
And one is, it's like the yin and the yang in the political mindset.
And the first one is some very happy, giggly newsreader chick talking about she got in the
course of one evening, three, you know, emergency emergency, a cell phone warnings.
from the British government, as she calls them, Annie Burnham.
And they woke her up because she had to get up and do the show the next day.
She wasn't happy about that.
But she's really not that upset.
Just listen to what she says.
Anyway, I got a alert from Andy Burnham and the government three times, just to be clear.
The seven o'clockish one, then I got it again at about 10, and then again at 10 to 11.
And I'd gone to bed early because I need to get up.
And I just, am I not doing it right?
Is there a way of dismissing it?
You're viewing it or you're putting it.
Well, that's what I thought.
They know I just went, oh, wildfires and put it down.
The whole thing about this is Andy Burnham is trying to do something.
I get that.
I get that.
He has actually banned disposable barbecues, as we know.
Stop.
He's appointed a Prime Minister and he's pledged to buy.
Okay.
Did you hear what he's done?
What Burnham's done?
He's banned, banned barbecues.
Well, sounds like California.
Yeah.
Yeah, because when in doubt, just ban something.
That's always the fix.
Ban it.
Ban anything.
Just ban something.
Yeah, California, my buddy, when he lived in, think he's still in the Bay Area.
Oh, no, you can't have a fire, but you can't put that in your fire.
It doesn't matter how cold it is outside.
You can't have you putting that horrible smoke into the air, which then, of course,
went down the line as well where the stories with New York and the, like, oh, pizza ovens?
No, no, we can't have you doing that.
It's all sorts of, we will control you.
Yeah.
And so, you know, at the top of her blathering, she said, you know, am I doing something wrong?
Yes, you are.
You have the wrong attitude, lady.
Okay.
You should be pissed at Burnham.
So I think there's a little more in this clip.
Yes.
And then we can get to number five.
The truth about wildfires.
Actually, band is miserable barbecue as we know.
He's appointed a fire minister and he's pledged to buy European-style fighting aircraft.
That's all fine. He should be doing something.
How much is he spending on aircraft to fight fighters?
Right.
Doesn't mention that.
But it's all fine because he's doing something.
He's banning stuff.
We're buying planes.
Because planes are cheap.
Plains are very cheap.
Very cheap.
So then from the same British station, I guess this was a later telecast, you get a very different, and I think, more realistic and truthful appraisal of the wildfire situation.
in England. I don't think anyone is saying that wildfires and fires in general aren't serious.
I guess the question is, was the alert system the right tool by which to tell people about the danger?
I think it undermines the importance of the emergency system. If you've got something like a war or an earthquake or, you know,
some things that are just so existentially threatening that everybody needs to be told immediately
at that level. That's a high state alert for everyone that's in emergency. And whilst it is very
serious that we've got wildfires, it runs the risk of actually undermining people taking
it seriously. It's a bit like a nanny intervention. We want to be seen to be doing something.
There are arsonists. The majority of fires started from other things, and we know broken bottles
and others. But why are we not having a discussion about what's happened with rewilding,
about the pressures that have been put on farming, not to clear land, not to clear fallen wood,
not to clear areas where peat and grass and where they've been prevented from allowing
sheep to graze and others and deer? And that has created our situation where people want to use
the term tinderbox where things are much more susceptible to catching fire.
There you have it. This sounds exactly.
Exactly like the coverage Adam and John had on the American wildfires.
Same exact things.
They're stopping the clearing of brush.
They're stopping all these things in the usually under the guise of global warming.
And then the end result is the whole place burns down.
And then they want to blame.
Yes.
Yes.
And what this guy alluded to as well.
And the first one,
the woman didn't quite understand was a kind of a little phrase that I remember a guy.
telling me years ago when I was working for a big company.
And there are a lot of people, anybody working for corporate Americanoses,
there's so many people out there are always kind of pretending to be busy, busy,
busy.
Oh, I'm so busy.
I'm doing this.
And this guy said, you know, you should never confuse activity with achievement.
Yeah.
You know, and all these bureaucrats and clowns, they just claim, I'm so busy.
I'm doing this.
I'm banning barbecues.
I'm buying planes.
So I'm really busy.
but you're not getting the job done, are you?
But that's how it works.
Well, so they can list that and then the mainstream media will be, well, they're really trying hard.
They're trying to.
Yes, yes.
Look how busy they are.
Do X, Y, and Z while they ignore, again, the who, why, what, when, and how who, why, what, where, and how, which would make the story.
They don't want to really know how the fires are starting.
No, there are arsonists.
Yeah, believe that or not, people are starting.
guarding fires. A lot of times, intentionally. A lot of times accidentally.
You know, it's like, but it's humans. And if you do not properly treat the things,
which can then lead to a buildup, like in California, a bunch of it was, well, we're not
clearing the brush underneath the power lines. So when there is a problem where a power line comes
down, well, of course, there's something to light.
And then it lights a lot on fire.
Yeah, in the meantime, leave the reservoirs empty because, you know, we'll just handle it with,
I don't know, spray wax or something.
Well, yeah, when the whole, is L.A., I'm wondering, Jack, has L.A. been rebuilt yet now?
I mean, I know they said this was all going to be really quick and, uh, no, no,
almost nothing has been rebuilt. Yeah.
As was predicted.
Yes, Corolla did.
He was telecast or podcasting, I should say, from a hotel room.
The fire wasn't even out yet.
And he said, I guarantee you, you know, in a year and a half, nothing, nothing will have been rebuilt.
It's all going to be hung up in permitting because they don't want this like this anymore.
They want low-income housing in Malibu.
And they're just going to wait the property owners out until they say, you know, all right, I'll sell it a loss.
This is a battle I cannot win.
And he's right.
It's a crazy system.
Yeah.
How about the Trump plane swap? Was that a good one, the Gingway?
I love that. You got something with this, don't you?
Yeah, I've got a bunch. Because this was a very entertaining story.
Yeah.
The United States and the Iranian-back Houthis carried out separate attacks on shipping vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.
Before the war began, about 130 ships per day moved through that waterway.
According to Reuters, only eight ships traversed the strait within the past.
week marking a new low.
Joining me now, CBS News, contributor, H.R. McMaster.
He was one of four national security advisors to President Trump during his first administration.
HR will get to the straight of Horm moves in a second, but I've got to ask you about the Air Force
1 misdirection story.
You've flown on Air Force One many times.
You have a keen understanding of national security threats flying in and out of sensitive areas
of the world.
How do you evaluate the evasive maneuvers, the Secret Service, order the President's
to take and those who flew with the president and those who were stuck on the decoy Air Force
1.
Yeah.
Hey, Major.
Well, you know, it seemed like the system worked to me in terms of protecting the president.
You know, I mean, there was a clear connection between the Secret Service and the intelligence
agencies that gave the president, I'm sure, the heads up or secret service the heads
up.
You know, it's clear that the Iranians are trying to kill him.
I mean, you know, this isn't, this isn't a secret that they've tried to, you know, they've tried
to get others to kill them in the past.
They've released the RGC, released a video,
a pattern of life video on the First Lady
and the President's son Barron.
So I think that the system worked in this case
in terms of the handoff,
and I think we just have to remain vigilant
because Iran does have a pretty extensive terrorist network,
sleeper-sone network, especially in Europe,
where they've conducted many assassinations over the years, major.
So I think the concern was the location that he was in Europe.
Yeah, and rightfully so.
I mean, there's an active threat.
Yeah.
That's the major Garrett.
And so, and that was a fairly straightforward reporting.
But then you have MSNBC, well, MS now.
I just want to say MSNBC.
You got to get a shock collar on that one.
One of the officials said, another official called the reports of threats against Trump's life is really derived, not U.S. generated.
and viewed as low confidence.
I wanted to talk to you about this because, in part,
I mean, we're both quite familiar with the vernacular of government.
What do you make of that reporting?
What do you make of that, Larry?
There you go.
There you go.
There is.
There is.
What do you make of that?
And this was very low, very low, right,
because the president is going to hop into a catering van or whatever it was
on a low chance of a threat.
And kind of what,
it means about this threat, as far as you can suss out?
Well, it does seem to be consistent with the view of the CIA with respect to Israeli intelligence
of late.
You might remember there was reporting that Mr. Ratcliffe was not convinced that the Israeli
intelligence was correct that you could decapitate the Iranian regime with a strike on
Haminae and cause regime change.
And he kind of called it, he kind of called a BS there in the situation room.
So this is, I think, of a piece of his natural skepticism.
and the skepticism of the professional intelligence analysts at the CIA.
Obviously, you and I haven't seen that, so we're in no position to judge it.
But again, I don't begrudge the secrets.
Oh, no, but the MS.
But they're always going to judge.
It doesn't matter if they've seen any documentation whatsoever.
They're going to judge.
That's their job.
That's their job.
They're judges.
Yeah, yeah, obviously you and I haven't seen that, so we're no position to judge it.
But again, I don't begrudge the Secret Service for being overly cautious and not being not being willing to take a risk,
even if there wasn't unanimity about the veracity of the intelligence.
It's true.
What's also true as a president and his close advisors can go back to the Secret Service and say,
I understand the threat, but I need a different plan.
That's what President Clinton did.
That's clearly not what happened here.
Let's talk about where we are in this war.
And I want to go, wait a minute, peppermint, Patty.
I think you're wrong about the Clinton.
Want to hear this one more time?
Yeah, let's hear that again.
It's true.
What's also true as a president and his close advisors can go back to the Secret Service and say,
I understand the threat, but I need a different plan.
That's what President Clinton did.
That's clearly not what happened here.
Let's talk about where we are in this war.
I don't think we need to hear any more about the war.
I want to go to this clip from PBS NewsHour.
How unusual is it for the Secret Service to turn Air Force One and its passengers to include White House staff,
the traveling press, into a decoy.
As far as we know, the decoy fact of that question, it has only happened once before.
In 2000, President Bill Clinton landed in Islamabad.
You see there in an unmarked plane after Air Force One had landed and a body double who looked like Clinton got off of Air Force One.
Didn't I just hear Jen Pothacky?
Oh, no, Clinton wouldn't do it. No, Clinton wouldn't do it.
Bullshit.
He wouldn't do that.
You know, I missed that story when it happened, Darren.
That's pretty cool.
So he had one of those, probably one of those, do you look like, what is it, daddy long legs?
the Joey clone that was impersonating him.
I think it was somebody that was just fairly close.
Fairly close.
Was he eating a cheeseburger as he walked or something?
That's what sold it.
He had a big mac in one hand and a large chocolate shake in the other.
Okay.
And probably three hookers following him.
Hey.
Bullshit.
Jeff, though, if you go beyond decoys to include faints or secret trips like
George W. Bush's to Iraq,
the Secret Service has taken steps like that before.
As for questions today of the vulnerability of those people who did fly on Air Force One without President Trump,
Matranga said the bottom lines, the Secret Service had to make a tradeoff.
I don't think that anybody intentionally put, you know, the anchors or anyone else,
the White House Press Corps, in harm's way, but that was a risk that had to be weighed.
And at the end of the day, we have to look at continuity of American government.
And quite frankly, I don't have to say this, but just to say it is that the president of the United States is more important than every single person on that plane.
Oh, they're not going to want to hear that.
They don't want to hear that at all.
No, the press is going to be like, no, no, we're the most important one ever.
Of course they are.
Now, this is how NPR covered it.
New reporting contradicts what the White House told the press traveling with the president during a recent trip to Turkey.
To red her, they were contradicting.
Yes.
And as NPR's Tamara Keith reports that may have left reporters vulnerable.
President Trump boarded Air Force One as usual.
But the Washington Post reports he was then smuggled off the plane in a catering truck and flew on an entirely different aircraft.
An entirely different aircraft. Not just a different aircraft.
Entirely. Not just a fuselage, the wings and everything.
It could have been a partially different aircraft.
Yes.
He went on a totally different aircraft.
I feel like, is there anything from...
Scott Simon on this stuff.
I kind of miss him.
We got to jam him into these shows somehow, Darren.
He might be your beat.
You can follow Scott.
All right.
I'm going to do that.
I'm going to put that on me.
I'm carrying Scott.
Yeah.
Huggled off the plane in a catering truck and flew on an entirely different aircraft.
NPR hasn't confirmed the report,
but journalists and White House aides who unknowingly flew on the decoy plane were firmly instructed
to keep their window shades lowered.
Later, talking to reporters, Trump, now.
ever let on.
Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against her?
I have a threat all the time.
I'm number one on the list.
That's not a lie.
That's no lie.
He is definitely number one.
It's been well known and for all sorts of reasons.
Yeah.
Before you.
But if I go, you go.
I love that.
Oh, that pissed them off so much when he said that.
But do they not understand?
It didn't really matter.
whether he was on the plane or not.
And these are the same people that are going to belittle the threats against his life.
Yet, when he leaves the plane and they're on it, all of a sudden, these are very credible threats.
How dare you leave these other people on this plane when you knew they were trying to shoot it down?
Sure.
Well, they're all a butler false flag people.
Right.
Anybody, if you're going to be in the White House press corps, if you're going to be one of the
few that travels with the president on Air Force one, I think, unless you're a complete moron,
you have to understand the dangers that are inherent to that job. How would you not?
Sure. It's like you know you're near a guy who has had more assassination attempts, I believe,
or was the, at least there were more times that Secret Service actually had to fire on a
than any other president.
Oh, no doubt.
So, of course, if you're around him, that might be a little dangerous.
Well, this before you.
But if I go, you go.
Right?
Perhaps something you want to change professions.
Tamara Keith, NPR News.
Senator Richard Blumenthal says he wants to know details about President Trump's travel out of Turkey
after a NATO summit.
Blumenthal wants to know what the safety calculator.
were for journalists and others who traveled on Air Force One.
And that's why I'd like to know what precautions were taken to make sure that they were safe,
flying in an airplane that could have been a target of the Iranians with missiles or other devices
that were capable of evading the defensive mechanisms on the old Air Force One.
Blumenthal spoke on CNN.
Yeah, with all due respect, Senator Blumenthal, you're a moron.
Yeah, he's also the stolen valor man, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
You know what I'm surprised at?
I would think that by now, in fact, maybe we should get Musk on this.
Why hasn't some reporter robot been invented so all these press people can feel safe?
They can sit home in their basements and, you know, converse with the president and watch him while Robbie the robot, you know, press corps guy is, you know, who cares if he gets blown up?
It's okay, right?
Right.
You just have your analog.
It's like a little water thing.
Exactly.
They did a bit like that on the Big Bang theory.
which was, did they?
Sheldon as the robot,
and he couldn't leave the house for some reason.
I don't remember why.
They put a,
they took a hat on him
with the press pass and the hat pan.
Right.
All you need is like an iPad for the head.
You put them on Zoom or something like that.
And everything's good.
Bob's your uncle.
It just seems to,
it's so easy to work.
Hmm.
This I thought we don't, you know, again,
normally coverage the,
of the podcast,
but Rogan, I thought it had an interesting take.
on the Trump decoy.
Okay.
Apparently, there was this plot where Iran was trying to kill Trump.
Remember when he was supposed to get in the Air Force One that Cotter gave him?
Mm-hmm.
And then instead, he flew in the old Air Force One.
Okay.
Well, they're saying that he actually didn't even go in the old Air Force one that they snuck
them out on a truck.
Okay.
Like some fucking cargo truck.
Okay.
And then put him in another kind of.
plane and flew him out of there and then they put the press in Air Force One because they were
think they were apparently worried they were going to target Air Force One as well.
So imagine Trump put the press on Air Force One and they were thinking about possibly targeting
them.
Holy shit.
He hit an airport catering container.
And by putting them there, he means they were there because they were going to be there anyway.
The only thing that changed was Trump was taken.
Yes.
off the plane. And the catering thing, genius.
I know Taylor Swift has used the same thing to get in and out of arenas.
I wonder how the food was in that catering truck.
Was there a snack prepared from inside there?
No.
Trump might have come out with a lamb shank or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is some good stuff.
Great stuff.
To a military jet for a secret flight out of the country after the NATO summit last month.
And this is being reported by the New York Times.
The thing is, though, I think they put the press on Air Force One.
So if they flew him out
It was because they were worried
They were going to try to take down Air Force 1
And they took the press
They just take the press off
Then they know that we know
You're right Jamie
We're not playing games
Just everything's normal
Exactly
And if the press die so sad
Oh my just get more press
That's fucking wild
If that's true
That is so wild
That he didn't even tell them
Hey guys
We're not really gonna get on this plane
No one's getting on this plane.
Somebody tell Joe that Clinton did the same thing.
I guess he missed that as well.
It's all right, Joe.
But, you know, it's an interesting concept.
It is.
And then they all want to get upset because we were on the plane and we were in harm's way.
It's like, well, the only difference is whether Trump was on the plane or not.
You knew you were going to be on the plane.
You signed up for that gig.
You know you're covering the president.
You know you're on Air Force One.
You know that has some dangers.
so come on.
So they can all ask for hazard pay now.
They should.
If you're covering the president,
I'd be like, pay me double, man.
Yeah.
If you got to be anywhere near that guy,
it could get very dangerous, very quick.
But he doesn't care.
The UFC thing, right?
Hey, you got to go sometime.
Hey, like we talked about it on the last show.
He's like, I got to go.
We all got to go at some point.
And Trump,
at the age that he is,
I think is understanding that,
you know,
He's there to do a job.
Mm-hmm.
And it's hard to put yourself into anybody else's shoes no matter what.
Sure.
But I think after the Butler thing, Trump had a reckoning that, you know, if I don't know what his belief system is, but if you believe in a higher power at all and a bullet literally great.
your ear but does not blow your head off.
I think you kind of double down, triple down, quadruple down, or more on the,
I'm here to do a job.
This is clear.
And the man or woman upstairs, whatever you believe in, is looking out for him.
One would think, yeah.
Because it's a very interesting position to be in.
And the guy, I mean, he's either just a total badass.
And people are, oh, my old Trumpers.
Hey, I didn't even vote for Trump the first time.
Shame on you.
No, you weren't well at the time.
No, I was faced down with the whole rental detachment thing.
I forgive you, Derek.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Where do you want to go?
And this media deconstruction.
Media deconstruction.
Well, this is a kind of fun one here with a kind of a catchphrase that might catch on.
This is Caitlin Jenner talking about one of our.
our favorite topics.
Before we go here,
wait a minute,
wait a minute.
We're talking about the WNBA,
right?
And last week,
did I not suggest,
almost beg both you
and Adam Curry,
both at 6 foot 5,
to apply for the WNBA?
What are you waiting for?
I haven't heard a goddamn thing,
Darren,
get busy.
We could be enforcers.
Exactly.
Enforcers didn't usually exist
in,
basketball. In the NBA,
really they don't exist.
And the WNBA, they didn't exist.
In hockey is the sport where you have the enforcer,
which is somebody that is almost entirely on the team to fight people on the other team.
Was that Dave the Hammer Schultz?
Was he one of those guys?
There were a few of them in the-
What a name.
Don't you wish you were nicknamed the Hammer?
I'm telling you, man.
There was some, uh,
Stu Grimson was one of them here in Chicago.
there were a few that that was when they went on the ice,
you knew within seconds most likely
there was going to be the gloves dropping
and a fight breaking out.
And there's nothing more interesting to me
and there's a bunch of videos on YouTube
that anybody can look up
of NHL players
talking to each other
before and after fight.
including there is some, you know, they're sitting there.
They're waiting for the puck to drop.
So this is, you know, when the referee is holding there, he's getting ready to drop the puck.
Play will go in.
But they wait until the puck drops for the fight to start.
Sure.
And these two guys are standing next to each other.
And there's a bunch of them that are out there like this.
And the one that comes to mind, the guys like, hey, how you doing?
Oh, I'm good.
You want to go?
Yeah, sure.
Oh, good luck to you.
And the puck drops and they start fighting.
And then after they're in the penalty.
like, oh, I got to work on my cardio, man.
It's like it's their job.
It's what they do.
So, I mean, I could be an enforcer in the WNBA, pretty sure.
Go for it.
Go for it.
You need an agent.
You can be, you'll be, okay, if you can get Adam and I, the gigs, you know, on the WNBA,
you play the agent, you get us to spot.
I'll be your Jerry McGuire.
Exactly.
Show me the money.
Exactly.
No, not Cuba, Jerry.
Oh, okay.
Cuba was canceled too, you know.
Who hasn't been canceled?
Really? Who hasn't been canceled?
And who doesn't understand yet that the canceling is usually at the behest of a large money group?
Yes.
Very rarely that it's actually a grassroots movement.
Yes.
Now, will we have any set up on this Caitlin?
Yeah, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's Caitlin Jenner talking to, you know, on the news to someone.
I don't know who's, some talking head about his, her thoughts on the WNBA.
X, X, X, you're in, X, Y, you're out.
It's that simple.
That's the catchphrase.
Let's remember that.
I might get that tattooed on myself.
X, X, X, you're in.
X, Y, you're out.
That is called pure logic for any generation besides this current one.
You're right.
It is.
X, X, X, Y, you're out.
It's that simple.
And I think are doing a good job just to show the WNBA how the hypocrisy that's going
on here. We have to protect women's sports. I have been coming on this show for years and years.
I want to protect women's sports. Title IX was one of the greatest legislations that was over
50 years ago for women's equality. It happened to be in sports. But look at what it's done for
women's sports. I don't want that to be ruined by letting biological men come in and play in
women's sports. You know, X, X you're in, X, Y, you're out. You can go play with. You can go play
with the man. Right. Where's the trans league? That's fine. That's fine. Do that. Yeah. As long as everybody is on
equal footing, that's all that matters. And it didn't occur to me at first. And you were the first one to
bring it up, which was the fighters in boxing are all done by weight class. And it's done
for a reason that you don't have a lightweight fighting a heavyweight. Sure. And that is within
these same sex.
Yeah.
So when you go down this other, which is why, as you've probably noticed, we brought the clip on
the last show, two shows ago where the guy from Outkick Sports offered $10 million.
He was hoping that Elon would like triple that or something or bring it to $100 million.
Yeah.
Because he wants to see the WNBA champions go.
go up against a high school basketball team.
He is so sure.
Remember, we had the clip from the journalist in Minneapolis,
like, well, they're just treating this as a joke.
It's like, no, no, that's real money, madam.
Of course it is.
And it's not a joke.
It is to prove that a high school team will most likely not just beat the WNBA champions.
They will probably blow them out.
Yeah.
And if that's the case, I don't know how anybody with any bit of logic to them would not be able to look at it and go, oh, yeah, now I get it.
This is why we don't let men play in women's sports.
You know, it's like, you know, the key word is logic.
You can't ask for that, Darren.
Just don't even use the word.
It's bad.
Well, that's why I can't even imagine.
And this would be the fun part.
And maybe they would only end up playing a game, these, you know, and there's freedom and
The other dude, I forget his name who wanted in on the WNBA.
But just say these guys or someone like them.
Hell, probably even Michael Jordan at his age now.
Oh, sure.
We're to go in and play one game for a WNBA team.
It would be hard to believe that they wouldn't dominate the game.
Okay, Jordan's lost the step.
He's getting older, but these guys that are fresh out of the NBA or if you were to take a current NBA player.
I would expect that guy to score 80 points.
I think Will Chamberlain holds the record.
Whatever it is, he would make that look like nothing.
Yeah, no doubt.
Because again, it's logic and we don't have logic.
There was another Victor Davis breakdown on this,
which I'm intrigued that he keeps covering this.
Really?
Yes.
Caitlin Clark single-handedly put the W.
NBA on the map.
True.
And that's what the problem is, because the WMNBA was sort of a little unknown league that was 65% black.
People had suggested it was 35 to 40% gay.
And they sort of had their own little atmosphere, their own culture.
And they weren't really being rewarded, but they controlled the ownership, the co-examined.
the coaches, the referees, the players, all were on this DEI left-wing page.
And suddenly the great benefactors of all of them happened to be white heterosexuals like
Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
Which is the problem.
It's like it's somebody that doesn't fit into our group, which it's the separation of groups.
It is a thread that has been going on for 50 years.
You get the rich, you get the poor against the rich.
You get everybody against the cops.
You get the black against the white.
You get everybody.
And this was a very specific little group in the WNBA.
And all of a sudden they're like, wait, these two women that are now getting all of the attention,
well, they're the minority.
They don't fit into what the rest of the league is, even though they are showing them up with what they're doing on the court.
They don't like that because like so many things now, everything is culture-based.
It's race-based.
Sure.
Oh, wait, you're not a lesbian.
How dare you play in the WNBA?
And they didn't want that.
In other words, they were willing to commit violence against them.
and the league was either going to condone it or plead ignorance rather than all benefit.
Yeah, and we're seeing that.
It's just like the violence in the streets of, well, name your major city here.
Sure.
What's stunning, though, is that the coaches don't not only not disapprove of this behavior, they advocate for it.
You know, like the one that's running the fever, right?
She's all pissed off.
Right.
And, I mean, you watch a lot more team sports than I do.
But it's always been sort of believed that if the guys or the women on any given athletic team are adversaries, their performance is going to plummet, really.
You know, I mean, think about that.
And these people are hating each other and pissed off and so forth.
It's got to affect the level of play.
And most coaches would squelch that damn fast because that's,
spreads very quickly. Right, because the ideal would be a team where everybody sticks together.
Yeah, of course. The number one job of coaching or managing is to back your player no matter what.
Even if you think they were wrong, the thing you do in public in front of the cameras is you back your player.
Yeah. And there was a lot of this in the Chicago Bowl.
even when Michael Jordan was here winning six different championships, you know, there was inner strife at times and that definitely took their teams down.
And then you had when I used to watch baseball and I used to be a baseball addict, I am a recovering baseball addict used to watch every White Sox game for this season, which is 162 games, plus there's spring training, plus there's postseason.
it took a lot of time.
Really?
And the 2005 White Sox, I'm glad because one of my favorite players, Ozzie Gien, came to manage in 2004.
Very fun guy says things people don't like.
He also got canceled while managing the Miami team.
But 2005, I was glad I was fully into baseball.
Saw the White Sogs win their only championship.
And the point is there was not one superstar on that team.
But you had a whole team of people that had each other's.
and they won the World Series.
There you are.
Yeah.
It works.
And there was one subtext that no one talks about, but it's right there staring us in the face
that Caitlin Clark is probably the best player.
And that's not supposed to happen in a predominantly gay, black female league.
Doesn't mean that other players are not nearly as good.
But we haven't seen anybody like her in women's national basketball.
And in the case of Sophie.
Cunningham, she's tall, she's beautiful, she's blonde, she's white, and people resent that as well.
You put those two figures together, they create all this controversy and hostility, and they remind
America that something is definitely wrong with this league.
Something that encourages racism, it encourages sexual prejudice, it encourages violence, and nobody
wants to touch it.
and if it continues, maybe they'll lose Sophie Cunningham, and they would lose Caitlin Clark.
And if they lost both of them, they would go back to their preferred obscurity and poverty.
Which, it seems like a very weird thing to want.
I mean, one, it's really scary that it's a little social, you know,
cosum of what's going on there, which is what's going on everywhere,
which is let's spread the hate, let's spread all of these bad.
things, but the concept that they would rather be not in the spotlight, not having huge amounts
of fans, not having a huge bunch of money coming in because we're just having fun and we only
want to do it with people we like.
It's a very weird concept.
I've only run into this when working for a country artist back in the day, running the
whole website fan club thing.
and there were people that would say things like,
oh, I'll be glad when she's not so popular,
and we can see her in a small venue again.
And it's like, what?
I get the concept, but you realize that that is just meaning
your favorite artist is now going to be a nobody
and not making any money and not really having a successful career.
But okay.
Okay.
It's easier for you, I guess,
to get to see them in a smaller venue.
But I think there's leftist underpinning.
to that behavior.
You know, pretty much they just, look,
all they can say now is to destroy the billionaires
and especially that trillionaire.
Right, that one guy, the bad guy.
You know, it's the gospel of envy, as Churchill called it,
and they just don't, they don't like to see people
really achieve greatness in any way.
You know, we all, remember, what's one of their favorite phrases?
We are one, we are one, we are one.
Yes.
You know, okay.
I keep pointing out, if everybody is the same,
you're not going to be Jay Z and Beyonce.
You're not going to be Taylor and Travis.
You're not going to be Rock Hudson and Doris Day.
No, there's a callback.
You're going to be the people that are flipping the burgers.
You're going to be the guy sweeping up after the horse as he walks in the parade in Disneyland.
You're not going to be.
No, they're going to be the people sitting home collecting government checks just because they deserve it.
They won't be big.
No, they won't.
They're going to have to steal soap, Larry.
You're so true.
They're going to have to go to Massachusetts.
Donnie's grocery store and buy expired fruit and then they're going to have to steal soap.
And, uh, yeah, you know, the beautiful thing about the United States is you're going to fail.
You're probably going to fail, but you get to try again.
Yes.
Nobody knows if your first act is going to work.
For some people, it does.
For some people, it takes a little while longer.
And if you put in the hard work, eventually, you'll probably hit on.
something. Hopefully, yeah. Now, we've got the USS Lincoln. We've got the glove story.
There's, I mean, it's all good stuff, man. It's an endless buffet. Yeah. We've got the USS Lincoln,
which again is going to show you more about how the media treats things more than actually
having a story.
We've got, of course, MS now, they're going to be on top of it, right?
Good, good, good.
My colleague Lindsay Papia and I spoke exclusively to the wife of the sailor who jumped off
the USS Lincoln and was medically evacuated from the ship.
The Lincoln's been deployed for 265 days and hit a modern day record for most continuous
days at sea without a port call.
Of course, we got the music that has to be very dramatic.
I didn't even know if that was music.
It was awful.
It really sounded like a modem tone just really slowed down.
Exactly.
And if you don't know what a modem tone is, listen to the last show and you will find out.
Plenty of them there.
But we spoke exclusively and all of these stories are coming through family members,
which means you're not getting any firsthand accounts.
And they're making it sound like these ships are out there for completely ungodly
lengths of time. Are they a little longer than normal with the Lincoln right now? Yes, but it's not
exactly going on, you know, years or anything. You're talking maybe a month or two extended over
what in average, I mean, I don't know if most people understand this, Larry, it takes a little
bit of money to move an aircraft carrier from the United States to the Iran off the Strait of
Hormuz. It's a little bit of an expense.
So what is the point of MS now running this story?
Because so is it, is it Trump bad?
Trump bad.
Okay.
Family members are concerned about potential exhaustion, low morale, and the mental health
of those on board.
I mean, we know MS now very unlikely that they're going to care about the well-being
of the military.
Yeah.
The wife of the sailor who jumped said her husband was struggling with his mental health
and repeatedly expressed his concerns to his hierarchy.
but was quote unquote brushed off.
The Navy says they can't comment on the medical records of individual service members to protect
patient privacy.
In the last message she received from him before he went overboard, he said in part,
I think the boat is finally getting to me.
It's really getting me.
I don't think I can do another deployment after this, and I don't even know if I can
finish this deployment.
The woman told me her husband jumped off the ship last Monday, but she didn't hear anything
from the Navy for four days.
not until Friday, despite her attempts to reach out.
She also said he raised concerns about his prescription contact lenses having expired,
saying he was getting yelled at for accidents on the flight deck that he said happened
because he couldn't see properly.
She says despite that, he was still allowed to work.
She told me, quote, I think that also had a big toll on him because he could have injured
a lot of people and he could have injured himself because that's what they kept yelling at
him every time he made a mistake.
So basically everything's wrong.
They're doing everything's wrong.
I mean, can you buy that?
Imagine this.
So this guy is he's on the flight deck of a carrier.
And I would assume in some way he's responsible for the safe takeoff and landings of the aircraft.
Right.
Correct.
That's what they're saying anyway.
What skipper on earth, even in the Navy of Zimbabwe would say, you're not seeing so good, do it anyway.
We'll take our chances with you.
I mean, it's ludicrous.
There's got to be more to the story.
A lot more to the story than we're getting.
Well, yeah, because if you know your contacts are expiring,
believe it or not, they do bring mail and stuff to these people.
You could have had more contacts delivered.
You know.
Absolutely.
Just because they don't sail into a port,
they still get supply ships visit.
And they can move stuff from ship to ship like you wouldn't believe.
And that's the beauty of these types of reports that are,
well, we spoke to the family.
And here's what they're reporting.
And of course, there's nobody here to push back on.
on any of this.
And the report, again,
the amount of money that it would cost
if there was an accident,
with a plane going onto the carrier would,
the toll of lives would be just unbelievably harsh.
So yeah,
I don't believe for a minute or somebody like,
hey, Skipper, I can't see.
Like, no, no problem, go out there.
Don't buy it for one minute.
And of course, we don't have any comment.
And the whole, oh, no,
they didn't hear.
for four days.
They're in a war zone.
Okay, you may not get notified immediately.
I hope these people understand that you're not going to get immediate notification.
It's a weird thing.
I don't know how much communication we can get boots on the ground from somebody, probably for this.
How much communication if you're on a mission like this?
Can you email daily?
Can you text?
I don't know.
What is available?
Yeah.
I mean, I would assume with Elon's magical satellites, you could probably communicate a lot,
but it's like that is something that maybe shouldn't be allowed either.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Also, MS now.
Families of the 5,000 sailors and Marines facing horrific conditions on an aircraft carrier
that's deployed to the war in Iran confronted the acting secretary of the Navy
at a fiery town hall last week.
That's according to two sources who attended.
attended the meeting who I spoke with.
Two unnamed sources, of course.
Of course.
Of course they're unnamed.
They were there.
I first reported about the conditions on the USS Lincoln last week after speaking to about a dozen of the family members of the Marines and sailors on board.
They told me about things like non-operational toilets, moldy showers, and the ship's store lacking basic hygiene products like toothpaste, soap, and deodorant.
The Lincoln's deployment appears to be extended for a second time.
And they just hit a modern day record in the Navy for the most continuous days at sea,
topping 200 days.
Many of the family members who spoke up at the meeting were crying about the lack of hygiene products on board.
And they say that they're all right.
For all of the things you can be upset about.
Well, see, that ship needs to dock in New York so they can steal the soap from CVS.
There's an easy answer.
Come on.
I don't believe for one minute a military family is.
is crying because
mommy or daddy can't get
a tube of toothpaste.
Yeah.
Also really worried about the fact that these long
hours with very little breaks
could lead to exhaustion, which could
potentially lead to accidents.
Which again, the military is well aware of.
And if there are accidents,
it is a multi-million dollar accident
on an aircraft carrier.
Sure.
So usually they have
a pretty well-oiled machine, if you will, on scheduling and people have off time. Now, I understand
maybe some people have insomnia, some people are tired, it's been a long, I get it. But this is not
the first time a ship has been sent out for over 200 days. I'm sure it isn't. At times, the family
members were crying in the meeting saying that they were really worried about the fact that their
loved ones were facing food shortages and also shortages in basic supplies.
Wouldn't you have led with maybe there's food shortage, but maybe there were food shortages?
We're not saying there is food shortages.
We're saying there's possible food shortages, Larry.
Yeah.
Well, we're not saying there are, but we're saying it's possible.
Yeah.
Well, anything's possible.
At one point, a woman actually said that she found it difficult to be proud of her husband's
service because he had actually been questioning the mission.
after he had seen several news reports about innocent civilians being killed in Iran.
There you go.
There you go.
There you go.
You know what the innocent civilians killed in Iran were there are the people that were standing up that the government killed?
The reason you're there is to try to get those people out.
Yeah.
You know, I would say to these people, they should, you know, if they weren't around, there's probably some books, some diaries, whatever, of the families of veterans from.
World War II, whose dads and uncles and brothers were, let's say, like on the Batan death march.
They didn't have cell phones.
Maybe they got a letter every two months, if they were lucky.
They had no idea what was going on with those guys.
And that's horrible, but that's what kind of war is about.
And whatever these guys are enduring on that aircraft carrier is literally a boat ride compared
to what those guys went through in ground wars.
60 years ago.
Yeah, war is not a vacation.
No.
And obviously they think it should be like,
oh, no, they're not getting,
they're not getting their massages twice a day.
Like, well, this is what they signed up for.
The job sucks.
I get it.
That's why you appreciate the people that serve.
Of course.
An easy thing to do.
It's not like, oh, you're going to be on an aircraft carrier
for six months or however long it is.
You know, that's going to be fun.
No, it's not.
And in point of fact, if you look on YouTube, there are multiple carnival cruises that are worse than that carrier.
I've seen a few of those.
That's a stone fact.
It's the reason I've never been on a cruise.
I've seen some videos in our life.
I watched a documentary a while ago.
I couldn't stop laughing.
It was called the poop cruise.
What's the like a fright?
That's a big floating Ebola chain.
I don't know.
No, no, no, no.
This thing, for some reason, I forget what the hell happened.
But it lost all power.
And of course, I think it was carnival.
And so for like six days, it was just a drift in the Gulf of America.
And what happened when the power went out, well, then, you know, the toilets don't flush on ships.
And the waters and flow.
And I think on two or three decks, there was like four inches of sewage water, you know, with feces and peepee.
It was just beyond belief.
And that, you know what, I guarantee you that cruise was much worse than that carrier's enduring.
in the Mideast right now.
You know, that was you just retelling something and not a clip,
but Chris Wilson sent this in and it fits.
Depressing clip of the day.
Oh.
Whoa, did somebody smack a puppy?
I'm going to get pissed if that's what the, what was that?
I don't know.
I don't know what was the, I think that was a gunshot at the end there.
Ooh.
What makes that kind of noise in the, in odds of the,
I'm not sure.
A little bit left here, and then we got Hegsef responding.
Her comment was met with applause from the audience.
Now, Navy leaders said that they're planning on sending the USS Theater Roosevelt,
another aircraft carrier in the region, to relieve the Lincoln.
But they couldn't give a definitive timeline about when that would happen
or when the Lincoln would come home.
But they did say that they're committed to improving the conditions on the Lincoln
while they continue to fight in this war that has no clear end in sight.
Oh, there you go.
No clear end in sight of the war.
It's a forever war.
Remember that.
I pointed it out on the last episode,
and I know it doesn't mean anything to some people,
but there have been 18 service members who have given their life
because they care enough to fight for freedom around the world.
In the same time period, 180 people murdered in the city of Chicago.
So when people try to tell you that the cost is too high,
I just want you to have the receipts, as the kids say.
Good point.
This is from CBSKRCG, a Hegzith reaction.
...facing major questions tonight about reports of American sailors jumping overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln,
which has now been deployed in the Middle East for 266 days.
It's about nine months, nine months deployed.
250 of those days, not even with a land stop.
This is because they are in the middle of Trump's war with Iran.
Trump's war with Iran.
Not our war.
Not the United States war.
It's Trump's war with Iran.
And that war is taking a toll on sailors aboard who've complained about not having enough food.
They've literally gone hungry.
And we've heard these complaints, the lack of basic necessity.
We haven't heard these complaints.
Actually, madam, what we've heard is family members allegedly
recounting stories that they got firsthand. We have not, as far as I can tell, and I looked,
there are no clips of servicemen from, or service women from the Lincoln giving a first-hand
account. Yeah. These, that includes toothpaste, deodorant, soap. And again, who wrote this
list? Because it's always about toothpaste, deodorant and soap. Yeah, interesting. And all of those
things add up with an incredibly long deployment that keeps getting extended to dangerously low morale.
There are 5,000 American sailors on board. But tonight, the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is
denying the reports, saying they're simply untrue. Listen to what he told Newsmax when
questioned about the reporting while traveling in Panama. Completely misrepresented. Listen, we
make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every
single moment. Some deployments are longer than others and I have more
respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody.
This again is all just about making the average person listening be
against what's going on. And there are people on both sides. I mean,
that was one of the places people always like, Darren and Larry, they agreed too much.
Where you were like, hey, no, I don't think we should be there. No. Trump said no new war.
And I'm the guy that's like, well, words mean things.
And it's really, is it a war?
No, it's a, it's a military action.
I was that guy.
You were that guy.
But I still think nothing's going to really change when they pack up and leave.
No, because there's only two ways for there to be real change.
Nooking is one.
Right.
Well, blowing pretty much everything in the country away, whether it's nooks or not.
Yes.
And they don't want to do that.
No.
Or get.
getting rid of the current regime.
If you don't do one of those,
then yeah, you're going to be right back more or less where you started.
According to Donald, he's already gotten rid of two or three regimes.
It seems like there's always a backup regime.
Those guys are prepared.
They do keep recycling.
Yes.
There's no question about it.
You can never tell the latest regime from the previous one.
They all look the same.
It's very strange, isn't it?
Yeah, but you know who owns the straight of horn?
Ramos now, right?
Who does?
And after we finish
defeating Iran,
which is being very badly defeated,
pretty soon I'll be
declaring the
Hormoz Strait,
a territory of the United States.
And again,
he's laughing while he says it.
But what I want him to do
desperately, and I really mean this, Darren,
I want him to call that thing the Strait of America.
Put it on the back.
maps.
Yes.
That's all that really matters.
Put it on the map.
That's all it matters.
Yes.
It's all naming rights.
Yes.
Not wrong.
Essentially this one.
We have the blockade.
And again, he then says essentially.
So not only that he laughed through it to make it clear that it was a joke.
And then he's like, well, that's just essentially what it is because we're controlling it.
And people are all going nuts like, oh, no, he's going to take.
He's going to go.
No. Why don't you people pay attention?
That's too difficult.
True.
No chips get through unless we want them to.
But, and how about Venezuela? Venezuela was a one-day war.
And now we work great with them.
We've taken in millions and millions of barrels of oil.
Which is true. And then, of course, it's the cost of gas.
For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline.
Just remember, you're doing it so that a very evil country cannot have,
A country really is the number one state sponsor of terror in the world.
We don't want to have them have a nuclear weapon.
So remember that when you have to pay a little bit more, you're at $4, it's okay.
I mean, it's, I'm not, I'll never apologize.
I did the right thing.
But you could, you know, if you didn't have, you'd be a, I mean, I had it down to below
$2 in many states, but California can't include because they keep taxing, taxing, taxing.
Yeah, California keeps blowing up, up, up, no matter what.
Yes.
And for the lefties that are all like, oh, no, we're paying too much for gasoline.
Well, let me remind you during Joe Biden.
Here's an MSNBC back when it was still MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell.
It's a potent one, but I really do think in talking to members of Congress that they now see the politics right now, and it may not last,
that the American people are behind this
and more likely are willing to take
a hit at the pump.
I don't think it's been sold adequately.
If it means not bringing war here, right?
Like that's another way to message us, I might argue.
Yeah.
And Putin's price hike is a great way to message it.
So they were fine.
The Democrats were fine,
including their talking heads,
because of the war in Ukraine.
And it was Putin's price hike, not Joeys.
Right.
Never forget that.
So why is this the Trump price hike and not the mullahs?
Who knows?
And I just don't remember how much oil we get from Ukraine or Russia.
I don't think any, but somehow was Putin's price hike.
I couldn't make sense of that, Darren.
What's wrong with me?
But it shows you exactly the insanity because they're going to, it all is political.
It's not about giving you the facts who why, what, where,
why, what, when, how, whatever.
They are just giving you the politics.
They don't care.
And this was okay, that little blurb in there.
Well, they're willing to pay more at the pump.
To keep the war over there, you know, in Ukraine.
What about an Iran when you want to keep the war out of your, you know, out of your own little area?
I would think that would be the case, but no.
Yeah, but, you know, everybody's.
love Zelensky, especially Ben Stiller. So that's who matters. Do you remember there was a video of
Ben meeting Zelensky? It was hysterical. He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he,
he, he, he, he's standing in the middle of this pretty large room and they let Ben through a door on the
side, like, like, a hamster coming out of a cage. And he's, he walks across the room to greet
Zelensky. He's got his both hands in front of him in the prayer position. I don't remember that.
Maybe, oh man, it was bizarre. It was like, what, what?
What is this?
You know, the Bows and scripts.
He didn't kiss his hand, but I was expecting him to do that.
There were a lot of bizarre things.
Yeah.
Including here, we've got a boots on the ground, but this is a...
Oh, wait, before you get to boots on the ground,
there's one more Iran thing.
I'd love to walk you through real quick.
Sure.
Before we leave Iran.
And this just made me laugh.
And maybe Trump shouldn't know about this.
The headline was, dig it.
Iran's black widow faces multiple death sentences
after gruesomely killing at least 10, 10 of her ex-husbands.
Oh, she's got to be a very attractive woman then.
You wouldn't believe it.
Wow.
Really?
Frightening.
Oh, my gosh.
She's so scary looking.
Why 10 guys?
How did she catch 10 dudes?
Well, I think they don't give all the details, but I think she's like 50.
She's 56.
Her name is Colthum Akbari.
56 confessed to much of the horrific body count,
the Manzan Duran province public.
Relations Office told Her Indian State
me last Sunday.
They mentioned one of her victims, the latest one,
he was 82. So the guy was probably
not seeing that very well.
But I mean, still,
that's a hell of a run. And she's a weapon
in her own right, really. I mean,
that's quite a stack of
bodies. She's
knocked over. And
she, they said the motive
was greed and that she collected gold, cash
and other dowry wealth
from her victims.
and what was her method?
Well, what a gold did?
Well, what she did was something, you know,
one of my guilty pleasures with my wife
used to be watching like 48 hours
and all these murder mystery things.
And so many times these women
would kill their husbands
by feeding them
breakfast drinks like orange juice or jello shots
that were laced with antifreeze.
Right.
And it would take a long time
for these guys to die.
They'd be six.
what's wrong with nobody could figure it out and one day they woke up dead and that's pretty
much what she was doing she said that her last victim was in 2023 his name was i'm going to
try to pronounce this name i think it's pronounced he had come that's it's he had complained
to family members that akbari had been forcing him to take medications and died shortly thereafter
so there so you know if trump wants to get the next
regime knocked off, maybe he should turn her loose on them.
Also, if somebody's forcing you to take medications, run.
Run.
It's not a good idea.
My favorite one of the stories that was not too long ago, it was an Asian couple
where allegedly the husband then told the wife,
because they were having a problem with some kind of credit.
It may have been ants.
Like, oh, we'll mix this in a like coffee mug or whatever.
and then had her on video doing that and then claim that she was poisoning him to try to put her in jail over the whole bit.
And the wife's like, no, he told me to put the poison into the mug.
At which point, who do you believe?
Yes.
Could be either way.
Could just be somebody smart enough.
That's like, well, okay, I was putting poison into his coffee mug.
Oh, well, he told me to do it because we had, we had ants.
We had ants.
You don't want ants.
You do not want ants.
and just a quick AI story before we have a boots on the ground
because this, if you fly, this is terrifying what's going on in Canada.
From the outside, it's pretty clear.
This is not the air traffic control tower you're used to
because controllers are elsewhere, maybe even in another city.
You can start seeing movement, so it helps our air traffic controllers
and our traffic services staff be able to pick out the things that are relevant to them.
NavCanada says this is the future, remote air traffic control with new high-tech features.
It's the same level of service that we end up providing.
Essentially all we're doing is we're taking the visual view of someone looking out of a window,
replacing that with a digital view onto screens.
Super exciting time, obviously.
Ottawa's Kongsberg geospatial designed the system and says it will provide access to services in remote community,
just as it has in the home of its parent company, Norway.
As we're seeing the development and implementation of AI into more and more technology, this is another great example where the system can continue to learn.
You know, what am I looking at?
What are the aircrafts?
What are the weather condition?
What could go wrong, Larry, it's we're going to take the tower from your local airport.
Yeah.
And we're going to consolidate it and put it elsewhere.
Now, I understand putting some of these tools into.
affect, but moving people to a remote location means really bad things can happen.
I understand the staffing issue, and we've got people that are responding to this.
Travelers at the Ottawa airport aren't so sure.
Don't like it. I would rather people looking out a window.
The more you put stuff like this in, the more it screws up.
All right. You need the human factor, regardless.
Hamilton Airport with 300,000 travelers a year will be the first fully remote location and those air traffic controllers have been asked to move to Kingston.
The union is concerned they might leave the field instead.
That attrition is only, I'll say quote unquote only, you know, 10 or 20 percent.
We can't afford to lose a single air traffic controller right now in Canada.
NAV Canada says this change could be part of the solution.
When fully operational, up to 15 airports could be remotely monitored from Kingston.
It provides more flexibility in our staffing in the long run.
Nav Canada says that it won't be moving to Hamilton until a year of shadow testing in Kingston shows no possible issues
and until all regulatory hurdles are cleared.
With the stakes for all involved so high, whether this comes to an airport near you remains up in the air.
I see what you did there up in the air.
Up in the air. Now that's shadow testing. Does that include airliners with real people on board?
Well, of course, because what this would be is you're going to have the remote unit monitoring and doing their job, not actually communicating with the airplanes, but having this be a simulation kind of.
But one, I don't think a year is a long enough time to understand everything that can possibly go wrong.
With that said, I don't know if anybody's still just literally looking out a window.
These are usually all on instrumentation, which I understand you can go remotely.
It kind of reminds me like what MLB did when they started going to New York for certain plays.
Like, oh, no, we need to do a video replay.
Let's get New York on the phone.
Well, this is interesting because I saw a story earlier today.
that the biggest siphon
of current air traffic controllers
are video game developers.
They like the way these guys operate
and they're the ones that are taking them off
of the flight towers,
which is kind of kooky, so there you go.
It's a tie-in.
It is a very, one, it's a very stressful job.
There's no question about it.
The more I've been watching
a few different channels that show
the problems that have been going on in major airports around the country and around the world.
And it's amazing what some of these controllers can do and pilots.
It's amazing when they totally are able to keep their cool,
even though they know the situation that they're in is not very good.
with that said, you want to keep a human being.
If the lines get cut between the airport that's being serviced and the remote location.
Again, I understand adding a bunch of new equipment to a local,
but the tower that's there.
But when you try to take everything and move it remote,
if that line somehow gets cut, you're going to have big problems.
Sure.
But of course what they're going to want is just pure AI.
That'll be the next down.
Yeah.
Hal will run all.
It'll just be a human watching the AI allegedly who's going to fall asleep, just like humans that are in the car.
These people that get their Tesla's are the self-driving cars and they're just going along and they're like, oh, wow, it's been, I tried this for two weeks and it didn't hit anybody.
So now I'm just going to relax.
Yeah.
Why not?
That's when it drives you right off the bridge into the Gulf of America, baby.
or the straight of America.
Yes.
We have a boots on the ground from Sir Darius Unity Night of the Sand Hill people.
He says in the morning, thank you for your courage.
Long live Mr. Bud's kill as well as his legacy.
Amen to that.
And he said the best podcast in the universe and they put no agenda in parentheses.
Thank you, Sir Darius Unity.
Discussed data centers on Thursday's episode.
And I remembered my pops and I did some work on them back in the day.
union electricians. We were in the national capital region with Local 26, and I was an apprentice
primarily on the fire alarm crew. I worked with fellow apprentices in Charlotte, North Carolina,
as an unofficial member of the Local 379 as well this very spring that just passed together
even more treasure slash intel for Gipmo Nation. First, what I recall from my recent experience,
the data centers are very mum's the word as of late.
Construction workers must, if I recall,
turn in their phones at the beginning of the workday
or to prevent unauthorized pictures or info from being made public
or more plausibly maybe it was that they couldn't use their phones
while on the jobs that yet.
They're very sensitive about that stuff getting out.
He says if they do,
they risk getting an immediate pinky slash pink slip now
for what my pops and I,
four men told me from his experience in August or so of 2023.
the data centers run 24-7 that they do.
They have beefed up slash arm security
and they lose out on at least a million bucks per minute
for each and every minute that they have shut down operations,
especially if it's due to emergency repairs.
And I think that's a little high,
but the numbers that I've seen put it as possibly 20,000 plus
per second or per minute,
which adds up fairly,
Quickly. If you're out for an hour, I mean, our power was out here for over 24 hours. So, you know, if you're losing 20,000 plus per minute, that is no joke. No. He says we dealt extensively with long, heavy and thickly protected cables and wiring. Oh yeah, you have to have shielding on that. Especially when the all hands call went out randomly. We were often somewhat confused regarding exactly what our.
general contactors clients needed or wanted from us,
be it in the specs for material that we were installing or in the necessary tasks in general,
which is also interesting when you're like, well, why are we doing this?
You have to wonder exactly what's going on.
He said, lastly, we had to install smoke detectors approximately every six feet.
And if memory serves, they had to be drilled into the columns of the structure,
holding up the raised flooring.
Yeah, these things are built.
So there's a lot of wires going around.
Oh, they're very creepy looking things.
And I can guarantee that as we speak,
there are probably half a dozen studios
with scripts on their desk with titles like,
Data Center Doom.
You know, there's definitely.
I mean, it's just rife with terror, these things.
And somebody's going to make a buck off that.
Or they're going to lose a box.
I mean, there's a lot.
Well, that too, yeah.
Probably get to this more on the,
the next show as far as the amount of money.
A lot of people think it's turning into a bubble.
A lot of people don't think any of the billions or trillions of dollars
that are being raised for these data centers are actually going to pay off.
And what is horror would say about that?
Is it a way to play that and short these things and make a fortune?
It's, we all know that there are memory shortages.
It's amazing that memory that was worth like nothing to.
or three years ago, all of a sudden people want it because it's still memory.
Yeah.
And the chip manufacturers can't keep up.
But as we've talked about here, the reality is, as this AI stuff continues, more and more will be brought into the home.
It will be brought into small businesses.
you can run some very capable models on hardware that cost, you know, in the $10,000 range,
which for an average person, they're not going to pay that to play, you know, chat GPT and ask it questions.
No.
But for any company, even small businesses, sure.
That is a small bill to pay rather than paying 50 or 100 bucks a month for,
your AI in the cloud and
risking your corporate data.
And these things are all ready to the point to where
they're getting into your own location.
So these data centers, what are they going to be used for?
As we talked about with Adam on the last show,
yeah, it'd probably be a lot of pickleball courts or something.
The boots on the ground continues apologies for wasting so much time
and getting this to y'all dovetailed with the following.
My deep sincere regrets and remorse that I haven't been.
an associate executive producer in well over a year.
It breaks my hearts.
The Manhattan's, he quotes.
In a similar manner,
my heart was shattered at the passing of the late great Mr.
John C. DeVorek.
And he says,
if y'all would be ever so kind as to mention read at least some of this,
it was good information, my friend.
Yes.
Live to tape episode,
No agenda.
I'd be deeply grateful, thankful, appreciative.
No, thank you.
He says, love you, mean it, little girl, yay,
and love is lit.
Bless Noagenda Nation always.
and forever. God, keep us all to stay blessed, free, and dangerous. Well, that's the only way we know
how to do it. Indeed. And we love our boots on the ground. I put out a thing on X. I'm like,
you want to be a podcast? Everybody's like, hey, you, you're giving up Larry's spot? I'm like, no,
we're looking for people that can do boots on the ground because while I love boots on the ground
as the one-eyed podcaster reading is sometimes a bigger pain in the behind than not. And we would just like
to hear your voice for people that have the ability to record audio. I'm trying to get a,
you know, a list of no agenda producers with what your expertise lies in. Like here we just had our
AI dude. Like so when the next AI story comes, I can reach out and be like, hey, this is the
story. What's, what's your take on it? Be of the perfect reporter like, hey, what do you make of this?
and we can get the boots on the ground from people in a way
where people can hear your lovely voices
rather than listening to the overly radio voices
of Larry and Derry all day.
Is that what they say about us?
Oh, dear.
Oh.
I know.
They sound too good.
Well, I saw a letter that came in,
that Adam Ford did that you kind of sound like a beat neck poet,
which, uh,
yeah,
I like that.
That's kind of cool.
You kind of have that thing going on.
Hmm.
Let's get the glove story in.
I think that is one that...
Oh, the glove story.
The gloves, baby, yeah.
The gloves are interesting
and they're dividing people.
And of course, that means
they're dividing the media.
This is something that's been around for a while,
which I think most of the stories are missing out on.
They've been using these in jails.
They're basically gloves with batteries
that produce a shock much less than a taserwood.
Yes.
This is from a Kentucky jail employee showing off the gloves,
which I think is a good primer.
Basically, you put it on just like any glove.
You know, right now they're off.
I can touch it.
You know, they strap on.
And basically, you got a power button that you hit.
It lights up and then it's active at that point in time.
So I can touch it.
anywhere on my body.
If I wasn't grab hold of my hand,
which I'm not going to do it.
I've already experienced it.
I don't want to put myself through it.
It doesn't feel the best.
Yeah, you don't want to shock yourself.
I'll bet some will.
There's going to be glove fetish freaks.
It'll be buying, you know,
taking these right off the shelves fast as they can, no doubt.
And the interesting thing was, as he just pointed out,
it needs to make contact with skin,
which means now people can just,
whether they can just go head to toe in like lycra or whatever that material is.
Yeah.
that would probably then insulate you from this because it's such a horrible,
dangerous weapon.
It doesn't incapacitate you, but it, you know, I've, I've to have been exposed to this
probably 10 to 15 times myself.
And it's, I guess, the best way to describe it.
I mean, it basically takes all your focus off everything that's going to basically where
you're getting grabbed at.
And then as soon as you let go, it's gone.
There's no marks that's left or anything like that.
and it lets you get the control of the person to where you can get them in a safer location
and actually try to gain compliance.
And we've had the compliance gloves now for over.
That is a great word.
We love compliance kids.
It's always about compliance.
Always, yeah.
Okay, that's probably a good art idea.
Compliance gloves, make them snappy.
Yeah.
And basically, it has been probably one of the,
probably one of the best tools we added.
One thing about, like, and I'll even show you,
one thing about the gloves themselves is that they have a button on them.
And again, it doesn't incapacitate a person like a taser.
I'm sure several people have seen taser videos where you hit somebody
and they fall on the ground and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, and get stiff.
This has no incapacitation with it.
I wonder I didn't do enough research.
I, nobody is telling exactly.
what the charge is.
No.
That you're getting.
So it's enough to make you
stop resisting allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
I have my doubts about this.
I really do.
Well, yeah, the guys on like bath salts or something.
We've seen enough videos where tasers didn't work.
Didn't work, sure.
And then when I saw this thing first mentioned online,
it was in reference to apparently, allegedly,
ICE has bought many hundreds or thousands.
of pairs of these things they're going to be using.
Which you know any day now,
somebody from MS now
will be reporting that these are, in fact,
a wearable firing squad.
You know, that's how they're going to characterize this stuff.
CNN's already doing it.
Oh, there you go.
Okay.
And again, the reality is this is less than a taser.
That much is clear so.
Less lethal than what they already have.
So this is trying to appease a great,
greater majority of the population by having a way to do the job without doing massive damage
and but still it's going to be Trump bad, Trump bad, Trump bad, ICE is evil.
Well, the gloves in theory, and GLOVE is for generated low output voltage emitter, so it's
glove.
I know, I mean, whoever comes up with the acronyms, I got to.
I have to give them credit on that one.
That was pretty good.
It's glove.
The gloves generically are a tool.
So like, you know, you put them on.
They're sort of an on-off switch.
So if you touch someone, they may not feel it.
When you turn it on, they're going to get a voltage that's described as sort of an intense bee sting.
They're not supposed to do it for longer than 15 seconds.
So this may be helpful.
And I will say that the devices have mostly been used, at least from the public record.
the company is not speaking now, at least from the public record, in confined situations, a jail.
That may make sense because there's really no freedom of movement.
Oh, there's no freedom at all in jails, madam, but it's very little.
Well, you know that these things are going to find their way very quickly into schools and subway stations and crowded buses.
It's going to be. It's good.
Well, right. For law enforcement, okay.
Now, for other people, you're going to be committing battery if you do this.
Yeah.
This is Juliet KM, the CNN analyst.
Go forward to ICE and where we are now, this is asking for intense trouble for the American public.
Intense trouble for American public.
Ice is not known for de-escalation.
Oh, but wait, this is indeed.
Okay.
Ice is not known for de-escalization, she says.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
But this is a tool that is way below the threshold of what they've had before,
which would show that in good faith, anybody, again, if you had logic,
would understand that this is a step towards de-escalization,
because this is like a bee sting rather than you getting hit with the electric shock coming off,
a capacitor on your TV.
No.
If they were serious about this, Darren, they would issue every squad of ice guys,
um, pocket watches with chains and a, a competent hypnotist.
And that's how to make people compliant.
Just sit them down, swing that watch.
They'll do what you say.
I don't know if that would work.
The, oh, you're getting sleepy.
That's it.
Some audio, too.
Yeah, now you got it.
You're on board.
You're getting very sleepy.
That's what I'm talking about.
Stop rushing me with that gun.
No, no.
Right. That's exactly the problem. Oh, but these gloves are bad.
The rules of engagement for ICE are not understood. And with this mandate from the White House of...
The rules of engagement for ICE are not understood. If somebody tries to mess with them, they will use the glove.
And more.
200, 2,000 arrests a day.
Oh, a day, 2,000 arrests, a day.
That's too many.
Let's not talk about the fact that how many million people came in under Joey because he said,
Hey, come on in.
Let's not talk about how crime rates actually seem to have gone down in some major cities,
which I cannot prove it.
You cannot prove it.
Nobody can prove it yet, but it seems it's possible that violent gang members that are being sent back to their mother country
maybe is one of the reasons why it's safer to walk around some places in the United States now.
Could be.
You now have sort of issued ICE to sort of go around, touch people and zap them and say that they're not compliant.
We know I.
Right.
Touch and zap.
They can just say they're, they could always say they weren't compliant, madam.
But before they could shoot them or kill them or do something like that, now they're going to get a little owie.
I mean, this is just insanity.
The fact that the reality of this system is you're not doing any damage to somebody because of this glove.
Yeah.
I'm going to be direct here.
We know ICE lies.
Oh, I'm going to be direct here.
We know ICE lies.
That was very direct.
Madden.
So direct.
Or Ice lies.
This is again, give us the list of where ice, which is a, not a person, of course.
Where has ice lied?
Where has ice touched you on the doll?
That's it.
They've been shown to lie.
They have.
And so this...
They have!
That's the N.N.
They have.
Woo!
It could be a real danger for the American public.
They have been shown to lie in court.
And so, you know, judges have made those, made that very plain and clear.
I do want to ask you about, because we've talked about this before, but it, it, with this extra tool, when you consider the idea that there is a quota, most departments have gotten rid of these, right?
I mean, this was a whole.
big thing with law enforcement
many, many decades ago.
And now that it's back for
ice and ice only, generally
speaking, what does this do
to law enforcement agents when
they have this thing sitting over their
head that, oh, we need to get $2,000 per day?
Yeah, it's a...
Wait a minute. She's saying that these
gloves go back for decades? Is that
correct? No, she's just talking about
quotas in law enforcement.
And... I mean,
the reality is the only reason the quote
of the around 2000 a day is there is because they started with so many millions of people that
they had to get rid of. And this is nothing different than having a job. You work at a factory,
you know, and you need to get X amount out. Well, you put a number on it. You're saying,
well, here's our goal. Here's what we're trying to do. There's no like, well, if we don't get this
amount of people, something happens. It's just, hey, this right now is the level we want to be at.
but it doesn't mean they're rounding up people that don't deserve it.
They're like, oh, no, they're not criminals.
Oh, you mean, are they here illegally?
Well, then technically criminal.
Holman did respond to the glove kerfuffle, if you will.
Oh, let's hear what Tom said.
And look, and there is no reason for it.
I mean, bottom lines, you're right.
It's just, it's politics, the sanctuary jurisdiction.
They know, over a decade.
I can't think of the hundreds of cases like this stuff's happened.
It's just one case after another ethnother.
We'll talk about this today and tomorrow.
Then we'll move on.
The next week there'll be another one, some other place,
and another sanctuary state.
And what really upset me, the response from the governor's office
was that, well, I said billions of dollars.
They should be doing the job.
We did our job.
We located this person in their facility.
We did an investigation, found out he is an illegally in the United States.
She has a criminal history.
He is deportable.
So we issued a detainer.
asking them to notify us before they release them.
Now, I don't care about sanctuary policies.
They said, we can't honor detainers.
We don't think they're legal.
There's nothing illegal.
There's nothing against the sanctuary law in California.
For a deputy, just pick the phone up and say that, hey, this guy's being released in an hour.
You don't have to hold them one minute longer than you would normally hold them.
Just call us before we release them.
It's common sense.
So this person's dead because Governor Newsom and the state of state of Congress,
California's puts politics hatred over President Trump over public safety.
So look at what California has done to hurt you guys to curb ice enforcement.
They make ice agents easier to sue.
They're banning costs from moonlighting for ice, restricting ice courthouse arrests,
taxing immigrants detention profits, banning masks for federal agents.
They're doing everything possible to make your job harder.
Now, think about if you're the family of that 68-year-old or that 68-year-old.
How do you feel today?
Shake to your stomach, that your government let you down.
The state government let you down.
Look, they put a lot of roadblocks up.
They try to make our job more difficult.
The bottom line is of June this year,
ICE made more arrests than any time in the history of ice.
Historic month in June.
What do we do the next month in July?
We blew June out of the water.
We got another historic record.
We're going to keep doing our job.
You can make it more difficult.
You can impede.
You can interfere.
But you're not going to stop President Trump
from keeping his promise to American people.
And I think he's right there.
Yeah, let's hope so.
You're not going to keep Donald Trump from doing what he wants to do, whether you like him or not.
And the whole thing with these gloves, I don't understand because they seem to be gentle enough.
If you're like, well, the guy's like, I accidentally touch myself a few times.
That sounded dirty.
But hey, if it didn't knock them out, like, well, what's the problem?
Yeah.
Do you have any more stories for us today or should we thank some people for us?
Let's thank some people, yeah.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
Yeah, we are a value-for-value proposition,
which means this show is yours.
You get to decide.
If you like it, you go over.
You put a number on it.
You go to No Agenda Donations.com.
You help us keep the lights on.
It's time talent.
and treasure, which means we need things like artwork. Man, this was a hell of a week for art.
You have all sorts of ways to give us boots on the ground, support the show. It is your
no agenda show. That's one thing I picked up from Adam years ago where it was always like,
well, this is your no agenda show. It's like, well, what do you mean by that? Yeah. It means it is
the producers running the show. Everybody's a producer. The podfather actually seems to be in
enjoying being a producer of the show.
Imagine that.
He really is.
He says he likes listening to us.
He may be, he's,
he listened to Planet Rage.
That is why we are here right now is because he listened to Planet Rage and he liked it.
You can also get over into the troll room.
Let's see.
Oh, there there, 902 for a high.
That's not bad.
I mean, for us.
I mean, for Adam and John, John would be like, ah, that's not a,
Enough. Of course.
We need everybody to bring one friend with them.
No, bring two friends.
That would be better.
Yes.
The troll room is available over at noagenda.stream.
But if you have a podcasting 2.0 app, you're notified when the shows go live.
A bunch of shows use it.
And it's great because a lot of people enjoy listening live because you don't know what's
going to happen.
Some shows will edit things.
They're like, oh, no, what did they say?
If somebody rage quits, you might miss out and all the fun.
Yeah.
So you go over to know agenda.
You listen live.
You get a podcasting 2.0 app.
You take part in the troll room shenanigans.
And if you are able to prompt an AI or maybe if you're a real artist, we love the real artist.
I know for me, the guy that is the AI prompt jockey.
I like the real art.
And a lot of people that are like,
I don't think this guy ever listened to No Agenda.
It's like, go to the No Agenda Art Generator.
I'm only behind Nick the Rat in Art Wins.
They're like, this guy's never actually listened to the show.
I was sleeping through it.
I bet you that was the issue.
Oh, Mike Riley's coming in today.
Oh, man, he's going to.
That's good.
That's good. We like that.
People are going to have to up their game.
The piece that we chose, and we knew it was going to be very controversial.
Right.
exactly what it was.
And we had a conversation about it.
And I got a email from a, I think it was a Viscount that was like, you know, that was
JCD would never have let that go through because it was grotesque.
And I'm like, I know.
I know it was a bit grotesque.
It was from Fret Pound, who this was win number one, which it was the very carnival looking.
Yes.
With the Barker and then the pregnant.
woman with the vaccine.
Fauci was the carnival barker.
Oh, is that?
I could see that.
That's a Fauci.
It looks even more insane than Fauci does normally.
Yeah, but that was him.
I lived with like a walking stick.
And he had the striped jacket on,
the straw boater hat.
Yeah, it was perfect.
And he's like, the number was 82, not 84.
I'm like, I know there was a little bit of artistic license.
It's okay.
But when,
and the overall vibe work,
And since it was a cartoonish, you can get away with a little bit more.
It wasn't clinical.
It was an interpretation.
You know, the other ones, you know, the guy with the cat from Dr. Evil, the bears and the horses fighting.
Scaramanga had a couple like Burka Beach.
Yes.
I mean, we figured if we were going to go grotesque, you may as well really jump into it.
Yeah.
We felt we just should take a chance and unsettle you a little bit.
And apparently we did.
And CSB, all the naked women are nice, but they're probably not going to get picked.
No.
When I see the naked bodies, I hear John saying.
No, cheesecake.
Cheesecake is okay, but they need to be clothed, CSB.
Yes.
And the burka, burka, burka from Scaramanga, we dug.
But it took everybody like a half hour to realize she was sitting on.
cauliflower rather than like, what is that?
What is that?
It's got to be simplistic.
If we not learned anything, the simple joke goes.
I was almost going to go with the CSB's eye patch guy because it was less offensive than the Carnival Barker one.
But Larry convinced me, he's like, no, no, that one's more eye catching.
And you want to be eye catching.
I'm like, well, we could go to an evergreen, but then the artist will never throw anything in because they'll be like, you didn't pick my art.
And then I threatened to just make my own art and put it up there.
Like, I can do it.
I can do it.
I've won, however, I'm only behind Nick the rat.
If you go to the leaderboard, you'll see Nick the rat, 193, me 141.
Wow.
Wow.
Good for you, Darren.
Nick the rat will go down in history as the number one no agenda artist, unless somebody really, really comes out of nowhere.
So thank you, fret pound.
it is very much appreciated.
Time, talent, and treasure.
We got to keep the lights on,
got to keep the microphones humming.
So you got to send a Darren and Larry donation.
I mean, just tell it.
It's a Darren and Larry donation.
We want to hear more of those guys.
Yes, please.
But we have a few people to thank for today's show.
We have the executive producers,
which is anything over $333.
It's a number that everybody enjoy.
And let me pull up the right screen here.
The first one coming in with $1,88.
And $88.
That's one heck of a number.
It is.
Mike,
the privileged taco salad,
which I've heard a lot of good nicknames.
That's great.
The privileged taco salad says,
Dear Amy,
dear Adam, Mimi and the Dvorak family in the morning,
spelled M-O-U-R-N-I-N-J.
After listening to show 1888, I discovered that I must have been living under a rock for most of my life.
When my buddy Gary hit me in the mouth back around episode 1357, he mentioned the podcast was done by John C. DeVorek and Adam Curry.
My response was, John who?
I knew who Adam was from MTV, but I had never heard of JCD.
I was hooked from the start and have not missed any show since.
I learned quickly that the both of you know what you're talking about and set feelings and thoughts straight in my mind.
That is one of the greatest things about no agenda.
Yes.
I liked finding people who think the way that I do.
I have questioned things that the mainstream media reports for as long as I can remember.
One instance is when George W. Bush was president and Gerhard Schroeder, Gerhard Schroeder, was the German chancellor.
The American news was claiming and quoting things that Schroeder was saying,
and the German news was quoting things and saying what George Bush was saying.
I just happened to be learning German at the time,
and I picked up on what was being translated and can only go, no,
that's not what he said from both sides.
The news was embellishing the reports.
Imagine that.
What, gambling?
Round up the usual suspects.
Exactly.
And this is, especially when things get translated.
You know there's going to be funny things going on.
He continues.
I, like you and JCD, am also a jack of all trades and a master of none.
I have donned a lot of different hats in my life and know quite a bit by doing so.
Again, you two showed me that there are others who are like me.
Past nicknames were hazmat Mike, out of scope Mike, and rock and roll, Mike, just to name a few.
experiencing the love that was shared for JCD was amazing,
and I am proud to be able to be a part of such a great group.
Gitmo Nation Rocks.
Yeah, it's even better than schoolhouse rocks.
Definitely.
I do hear John grousing at me for the length of this note,
so I will close it by saying, God bless you all.
And then he has met Vile, Libet, and L.A.,
which I had to look up, which I know I butchered.
It means with much love to you all.
in German. He says, Mike, the privileged taco salad. P.S. Kudos to Larry and Darren for
their filling in. I have to admit that I visualize Tommy Chong when Larry's piece and lost it when
he said, dude, maybe you do have a Tommy Chong thing going on. Really? So I'm either a beatnik poet
or a Tommy Chong. Wow. Or a total stoner. That's quite a span. Yes. Yeah. Jeez.
He says PPS, please accept my $1888.88 donation in honor of JCD.
We do thank you very much.
And then handwritten at the bottom, which I want to let you know, my AI got right.
Type is better than my chicken scratch.
But hey, if the AI can tell what it is, that's all that really matters.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
I guess he's already a night if you're the any title change or anything.
please let us know.
But thank you, Mike.
The privileged taco salad.
Thank you, Mike.
Next up is Dr. Don and Dame Audra.
333.88 from places unknown.
But there's a jingle request to Darren.
It's a double up.
You've got.
Double up.
Karma.
See, there was none, but I just had to make myself a note to remember and get it.
So he could be quick like the podfather.
Hmm. Up next, Manuka Gold from Hudson, Florida, $250 from the Manuka Gold family. We're always happy to keep supporting.
We do have a code at manukagold.com for the no agenda listeners. If you're looking for 20% off, just use code treasure.

Went astray, huh?
Yes, make sure you send in the note to notes at noagenda.com.

And we will do a make good for you.
on the next episode.
Then coming in, Stefan Trachles
from Soist,
to Denmark.
I guess.
I'll go with that.
Hi, gents.
I know he's donated to our other shows.
I just,
I'm blanking on where these from.
Hi, gents,
much appreciated that the two of our producers
moved from Brunetti-like backroom
producing to being off-cam news models.
Well, I mean, we are very pretty stuff on.
I mean, you know that.
At least Larry is.
I have to wear these.
I'm gorgeous. He says, I would like to request any jingle with love in the title, except love you mean it.
That is an interesting request. Yes. And his donation was 22117.
I love Bob.
Had love in it.
Thank you, Stefan.
Next up is Eli the coffee guy.
And I'm so excited, Darren, guess what?
He's got my address and he's sending me some of that fabulous gigawatt coffee.
Oh, you're going to be wired.
I am.
He's from Bensonville, Illinois, 208.16.
And Eli says, gentlemen, I read the newsletter, I read the newsletter,
and figured the straight of Ormou's sovereignty line was you guys having a laugh.
Some snide throwaway.
Then I saw some news articles with Trump trolling that pretty soon he'll declare it a territory of the United States.
It's hard to tell us.
bit from the news anymore.
Life often imitates comedy.
Thanks for the laughs and great media deconstruction.
For producers who want great coffee,
visit gigawatt coffeeroasters.com
and use code ITM20
or 20% off your order.
Stay caffeinated.
Eli, the coffee guy.
Thank you, Eli.
Thanks, Eli, I got to get back to me.
Some of the producers, they want to do a Saturday meet up in September.
Oh, that's exciting.
And it's either they want to make sure I
never do another show or they want to say congratulations.
I'm not too sure which yet.
You'll find out.
But coming in next with $200.
Linda Lupaitkin from Castle Rock, Colorado says jobs karma.
Of course, your resume has about 10 seconds to make an impression and most don't.

Don Mills of Shasta Lake, California, donated $200.
And Don says,
Keep the best podcast in the universe going.
Glad to hear the media deconstruction
will continue. Well, thank you, Don. Yeah, we're planting the flag, just like on D-Day. We're just
putting it up there, daring anybody to come take it. Up next, Brenda Forcadde, is I think,
Paulsboro, Washington came in with $200. No, no, these are the associate executive producers.
Thank you very much. Brenda. Next up, Anonymous, gave $200 from Parts Unknown and
Whoever you are anonymous, we thank you very much.
Then also with 200, Sir Lawrence of Dystopia,
says in the morning, Darren, and Larry, as you read this,
our northern Silicon Valley in the morning of John Meetup will be in the rearview mirror.
Thanks go out to Pizzeria Violetta, Sir Crazy Recalcitrant Steve,
and the Dvorax in attendance for the gathering of the roundtable.
No Agenda Nation lives on.
Thank you for taking the helm during the interim,
regardless of how the show will morph in the future.
I am convinced that with the multi-universe of talent
that is the No Agenda Producers Network,
the show will go on.
As we are currently having an ant battle at our,
yeah, at our redoubt in our readout in Maxwell Park,
may I please get in I've got ants.
And this I'd love it.
He said, I thank you for your cur-ray.
Oh.

Sir Lawrence of Dystopia Baron of Maxwell Park.
I got ants.

There we go.
Next up is Sir Swiss Seneca from Wadden's Will, Zurich, Switzerland.
$104.69 cents.
I just made a PayPal payment of U.S. dollars 10469, which is the equivalent to 88.88 Swiss francs in honor of JCD.
In my 63 years, I cried twice over the death of a well-known person.
The first time was when the musician Prince died on April 21st, 2016, and now what I learned of the passing of Buzzkill.
As the occasional organizer of the Swiss meetup, I decided the producers of my region should meet again,
in Zurich at the cozy rooftop bar near the main station on Saturday, August 29.
I remember the discussion between the two of you, if I would be eligible for the title of Black Knight,
and in the end you gave it to me, I wear it with pride, just like my ceiling ring.
I wish you all the best, the Dvorick family, the Curry family,
and the two good souls who generously took over the mics for the time being.
I'm curious of what the future will bring for my favorite podcast,
the best podcast in the universe.
Best regards.

JCD meetup.
Have a little note here.
Greetings, no agenda, no donation.
Thank you for everyone who came out
for the In the Morning, Virginia,
and thank you for your courage, JCD meetup.
It was wonderful to see both familiar faces
and new ones over food and drink.
We shared memories and stories and stories.
As we honor John, we extend our deepest condolences to the Currie and Dvorak families and also prayers of celebration for the newest arrivals.
In loss, we find new life.
These moments remind us of why the meetups matter so much.
Let's keep this tradition alive because connection is protection.
Along with the attached group photos, and it's a very good looking group.
They were outside.
No masks or anything, Larry.
It was crazy.
Wow.
That's cool.
We're sharing a prayer for the no agenda and no nation provided by Navy Chaplain Milo Curtis from Chesapeake, Virginia.
A special thank you to him and his wife, Bethany, for traveling out for their very first meetup.
Thank you for your courage, Dame Trail Chicken.
And this is the prayer here.
All right, go ahead.
All right, let's pray.
Lord, we come to you right now.
We lift up the Dvorak family to pray for Mimi and the kids.
and the curries as well.
And Lord, we're all in the space with one another
because of their faithful service to us over the years.
We pray that your presence would be heavy,
it would be felt your peace would be overwhelming.
Father, I pray it for the no agenda community across this nation
and around the world.
That, Father, this type of gathering, these type of friendships,
this kind of camaraderie with strength and souls in these days.
May your presence be felt.
Father, may good things come of it.
that would accomplish your kingdom purposes.
We pray this in your name. Amen.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.

I finally brought myself to listen to the Memorial Show and listening to your intro.
You could hear how much the old coot really meant to you.
The No Agenda family is grieving with you.
Yeah, I think John.
meant more to most people than they realized.
Oh, yeah.
And he's left really big shoes.
And that's coming from a guy with size 15s.

I was looking for the tip jingle, but you know what?
We don't need the tip jingle in honor of JCD.
I will just say, if you have a medical bill at a hospital,
call them up and ask for a discount.
That's a good tip.
That is the tip.
We had, my wife had some tests done when she was in the ER, went in,
and you call up, and at our hospital anyway, it's easy.
enough. I'm like, can you offer me a discount for paying promptly? And they're like, yeah,
we can give you 5%. That's not bad. Then I'm like, can you do 10? And they put you on hold for like
30 seconds. And then they always come back and say yes. That's very good tip. It is a very nice way to
save a little bit of money. And whatever you save, of course, you can donate to the best damn podcast
in the universe. That is going to do it for another fun edition.
