Fatty at the front. Adam Curry. It's Thursday, October 1st, 2026. This is your award-winning Gimbo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1908. This is no agenda. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas. We got a really big show for you because, of course, it is the best podcast in the universe. Yet another brand new name in our list of guest co-host coming up in less than 90 seconds,

the one the only, Mr. D.H. Unplugged, Andrew Horowitz. In the morning slaves, the podfather's in the chair. And today on the other mic, he brought his calculator. Andrew Horowitz, he walks in calm and steady. The disciplining investor with his charts already ready. He reads the fair like comics. He knows where the money hides and tell you what the bond used, while Adam Deacon strikes the lies.

No stumble on the cue, no dead air, and the strength. He's kicking up a curry like he's always on the team. He's got the skills to pay the bills. He brings the facts and figures. The market man is on the plan. The numbers just get bigger. Brunetti tried Cali-Chanis cried they couldn't hold a line. But Horowitz, he's got it nailed.

No agenda prime time. No agenda prime time. Calacanis came to pitch you on a startup in a dream. Two hours in he's still not done. He's talking to the stream. Brunetti brought the energy. We love him, that's for sure. But Andrew brought a balance.

He knows the drop. He knows the bell. He knows to let it breathe. He donated value back. That's how you earn your own sleeve. He's got the skills to pay the bills. He brings the facts and figures the market man is on the plan. The numbers just get bigger.

Renetti tried Cali County's cried they couldn't hold a line. But Horowitz, he got to nail. No agenda prime time. Ladies and gentlemen, a guest host to raise the ticker and the room. Andrew Horowitz in the morning. Yeah. That's somewhere like that. That's some of that super intelligence for you.

Wow. We love our, we love our guest co-host here at the No Agenda show. That has put a big smile on my face. I've got to tell you something. This is so much bigger. This studio, this impressive, I mean, The No Agenda Studio, I didn't realize it was this kind of, and the green room?

The green room? How did you know that I like peppermint tea and angel food cake before I got on the air? I mean, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, Star Treatment. This door treatment. Ladies and gentlemen, Andrew Horowitz, from the disciplined investor and DH Unplugged. This is like Ghostbusters. The streams are crossing. Anything could happen in the next three hours.

Anything could go wrong. Anything might go wrong. Andrew, how you doing, brother? In the morning to you. I am great in the morning to you, sir. The best podcast in the universe. Glad to be here. You know, people, we got to talk a little bit about you because, sure, people know,

people know who you are, but a lot of people may not who are just tuning in. We've known each other for probably 15, 16 years. And you knew John maybe even a little bit longer than that, right? Yeah, I think John and I would have had our 18th year on DHS Unplugged. And it was from way back in the days of Leo Lipport, Twit, and all that. And then I met him and I met you. We saw, you and I met each other in London once. Yeah, in London, right.

I remember that, you know. And then I had that show going on. we had all this crossover, you know, between John and then I was doing something with you and Ron that I don't think ever worked out, but nonetheless. Wait, wait, wait, what? I don't remember. What were we doing? What were we doing? I was in your office. No, I remember you in the office, but then I remember like, and I just talked to Bloom, I can't deal with this. And I don't think anything came of it, did it? That's what I'm saying. Pretty much. That's what's right. I mean, Bloom missed an fantastic opportunity. It was, you know, it was early days. Let's be honest. It was early days. None of us knew exactly what was going on with all this, right?

I got into the podcasting because I wrote my first book, The Disciplined Investor, Essential Strategies for Success. And my publisher says, you know, I have a great idea. It's back in 2007. I have a great idea. I'm like, what's that? They said, you should do a podcast. And I said, wow.

The fuck is a podcast. That's what I said. Wait a minute. This was a very modern publisher. Who was this? This was hardcore, I guess it was for the first one. Oh, okay. Nice.

So, yeah, it was amazing. and then actually I went out to Cupertino. And Cupertino, they helped me with setting up my really grand system with garage band. Yeah. Oh, what a nightmare that must have been for this. And did that. And then ran the first one. I think the first discipline investor podcast, first episode was March 2007.

So now coming up on 20 years of that episode. And then about eight months later or so, I think it was right after No Agenda. John and I, after knowing each other a bit, said, let's do it. Well, he said something. You know the story there, right? Well, I know exactly how that went. John went, hey, I should stick close to this guy. He might give me some good stock tips.

I'll reel him into a podcast. That's probably what he was thinking. We were talking during the financial crisis. I remember so distinctly, I think I told you this once before. I was walking around my pool in my backyard, and I'm like freaking out. And somehow John and I started talking once a week for about an hour, for whatever reason. and he was on his flip phone or whatever, and I'm talking to him.

And somewhere halfway between a sentence on one of the calls, he said, you know, a lot of people would really like listening to this. Let's do a podcast. They're like, who wants to listen to this? That's how the best podcast start. They start as people having a conversation and deciding to hit record. It's absolutely true. It's so true.

Now, what people don't know is you've been a radio guy for a long time, predating all of this stuff. Yes, that's true. I had The Money Doctor show with Andrew Horowitz. The Money Doctor. Hello. Hello. Wait, hold on a second.

Hello. Is this the Money Doctor? Yeah. I need some help with my finances are all messed up. Can you help me, Mr. Money Doctor? That's pretty much how it went. And it was funny. My show, this was a paid-for thing on 740 AM, whatever radio.

Oh, it's the big 740 a.m. Ladies and up to hear you. The Money Doctor. Andrew Horowitz the money. And I had very days a lot of the time. I talked like this. And I didn't know how to project yet with a decent microphone. And what was interesting was all the other shows that were on the air.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Did it go like this? And we'll be right back after this message. Gold. That's right. You need gold in your portfolio. I'm telling you.

That was it, right? Was that it? It was worse. It was worse. And I got to remember the name of this. My sponsor was an arthritic shableness. shoe company. Oh, a Medicare scam.

Okay. That they sent me, they sent me these things to wear those ones, those, and I wore them because I said, listen, if I'm going to advertise these things, I got to seriously wear these things. Comfortable as could be the ones that are oversized, it looks like you have a club foot, you know, that's comfortable. Very comfortable. They would call SAS shoes.

That's what it was. Oh, goodness. And I would wear them as I was on the air. I'm like, look, I'm wearing the shoes right now. They're very comfortable. I had to do a host read on this thing. and they paid me like 350 a show or 300 a show or 300 a month or whatever it was. Whatever.

So, and then I was the only show that actually got calls. All these other shows, what happened was all these other shows were constantly promoting themselves. And I decided way back when, I'm not going to promote. I'm just going to educate. And let's see how this goes. And what happened was that when I gave away the phone number, the phone bank with the producer on the other side of the window at the radio station, would all of a sudden show me that we, you know, give me a number, four lines are lit, or whatever it was.

I remember being there a couple hours before and sometimes an hour after to the other shows that were there, never got a call. And these guys were so pissed off at me. I can imagine. The money doctor, it's a good one. It's a good one. The money doctor. And now you're a successful money manager in Florida.

Have you always lived in Florida, actually? I don't know. You're from New York, aren't you? No, you're from New York. I came from New York, man. So I came from New York. Long Island. I'm a Long Island.

Yeah, Long Island. Yes. I came, I lived out in Comac. I came down here in 87. I was 22 years old. And I moved down here with three women. Two of which I was about to say. There must have been a woman involved in this move.

There was three. I came down here, decided, well, I didn't want to live in New York through the snow and the, the horrible weather. I said, you know, let me do this early, go look somewhere. I went out to California for a week. I was in Malibu. I was in L.A. And by the end of the week, I said,

I don't recall talking with anyone out there that had a brain. I don't think I could stay there. So I came down to Florida because everybody said to me, you know, when I retire, I'm going to go to Florida. I'm like, what am I waiting for? Why am I going to wait until I'm like ancient? Retire now. Yeah, why not?

So I came down here was not the Fort Lauderdale that it was now back then. That was spring break for Lauderdale. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Where the boys are. Good times, yeah. Play a, play a Horowitz. Exactly.

So I live with two of the girls. One was a Eastern Airlines pilot. One was a waitress. And the other person was starting a beeper company that moved from California down to Florida. Was she a Mossad beeper company? What kind of beeper company was? No. There was one of those things where you, remember the beepers where you got a beep and you had to go to a pay phone to make a call?

Sure. Of course. I had one. Of course. Yeah. And then then it then it elevated to the one. that had the numbers on it or you could put some kind of weird messages if you knew how to spell with numbers or just do 911 yeah yeah exactly so she did that and then uh yeah so then then uh i met

my first wife that lasted for a very short period of time oh i didn't know you were married previously yes i was she was 11 years my senior oh yeah yeah and uh it was all about a bet a bet somebody in the office said you know somebody i said look at oh my gosh she's cute my friend in the office office said, there's no way you're in her league. I said, 50 bucks? 50 bucks cost me a lot more than 50 bucks. It's all I'm saying. I hear you. I hear you. So then I met Jill, of course, and we have three kids, twin girls and a young fine man. Yeah, and we've been out to hang out with you guys and we love Jill and we love you. I think the last time we saw each other, I had sun poisoning. You took us to the yacht club and I'm like, I got to go.

home. Yeah. It was not feeling well. So Adam, just to let anybody know if you haven't seen him, he's a little fair. He was outside,

maybe in Florida for maybe 10 minutes. He got some poisoning. It was, everyone's like, I think I'll just have clam chowder. Well, we got to get together again. It's been far too long.

It has, yeah. Well, you know, you always want us to go on cruises. We're like, no, we're not going on the crew. Here's Andrew. Hey, I got a great idea. This is a great gig.

An 80s cruise. I'm like, are you out of your ever-loving mind. I'm not going to go on an 80s cruise with a bunch of 60 year olds who want me to sign their boobs. Like, no, no, we're not going to do that. All right. Okay. I get that. I get that. I tried to actually hook you up to get paid for that cruise. That's what I was trying to do. Oh, no, I'm, listen, I get these offers a lot, but I can't. It's just no. It would be so depressing. I don't go to certain concerts. Last time I was at a yes concert. Yeah. I was in the concert,

and Rick Wakeman, the keyboard, puts on spectacles. You know, he puts on readers. And I'm like, oh, my God. Then I turn around. I'm like, who are all these old people in the audience? And you're the youngest? Is that what it was? I was pretty much the same age, I think.

Yeah. That was the problem. So we talk from time to time and we chat. And it's usually, you're much better than I am. You know, you'll call up. Tina actually has a retirement fund with you, and she loves you for it. She's like, Andrew's making me money. And you're always like, hey, should we have a.

called, Tina's like, no. No. Just keep on going. Just keep on going. It's fine. Everything's good. But you're just a lovely guy. And you were actually the first person I spoke to after Mimi, after John passed.

You were the first one that I spoke to. Yeah. Still hurts. Yeah. So DH unplugged, which has kind of been a crossover promotional mechanism with no agenda. Obviously you did that with John for many, many years. And now you're continuing with. with J.C., with John S. DeVorek with the junior.

How's that going? Yeah, with John S stands for son of John DeVorek. Yes, it does. It's going surprisingly well. Yeah. You know, he's a much different character. He is a highly intellectual thinker. He, John was a slow, John was brilliant, right?

We know that. Yeah. But he was a thoughtful thinking about fewer, very pointed and that's all you needed, right? Yeah, and then, and he would say, that sounds like bull crap. Yeah, yeah. Thoughtful thinking.

John is, John, his son is very technically inclined. A lot of times I'm talking to him and I'm like, I think I need to put that on half speed. I don't exactly know what just happened. But he's great. No, he's great. And he's really brought a lot and a change. And we have a new newsletter.

He's working on a new website and all sorts of things. And, you know, right now, the audience seems to like what we're doing. So I'm really happy about that. Oh, good. And you're doing video now, too, which is a little different for the show. Yeah, we do video, but we do the video really for short take. So we record the whole show with video, which we have. But then we use short take videos for promotions on Instagram, Twitter, things like that.

Oh, you've got a whole machine going there. Yeah, it's a production. Speaking of Instagram, the no agenda account hit 5,000 followers. and that means that there is now a picture published of John's, well, it's said of John's office. I was, I don't know if you saw this picture, went out in the newsletter too. I did see it.

A little bit of a letdown is like I want to see the reverse angle. Like, I get the desk and all that, and that's fun to look at and zoom in on, but I want to see what's in the background, man. Where's the pile of cans? You know, there's a lot of stuff that I feel we should, we should be allowed to see. I want to see the closet door that's being,

propped up with two by fours to keep it closed. Exactly. Exactly. Oh, man. Oh, man. Well, I'm so happy that you actually called me and said, I want to do the show. I'm like, okay, good idea. Yep.

You have all these great guys. Burnetti, you have Calicanis. Calicanis, which I need to, Jason, if you're listening, I sent you a couple of emails. Please get back to me. You got to DM him on Twitter. That's the only way. He doesn't respond to anything. Which means he has to follow me.

If he doesn't follow me, I can't do that. So I've got to figure that out. I'll connect you. I'll connect you on X, man. I got you covered. There you go. He was on the show, the disciplined investor back in 2008. When, you know, he was just gaining his popularity.

Yeah. And now he's all over the place. All in. These are very, very, you know, these co-guests hosts have been incredibly polarizing. So first of all, the AI songs, 70% love it. 30% hate it with such a passion. Oh, they email me. I'm unsubscribing from the show.

I'm like, dude, you can hit the fast forward button with two taps. Yeah, I can two taps I've unsubscribe from the show. It's like people go out of their mind about this stuff. And I think it's actually kind of cute. You know, it's gotten to the point where, you know, it's all about the lyrics, I guess. I mean, the music. This is just what it is. This is the future.

I mean, things are going to change. chains that we haven't even thought of yet. I mean, we have a song. Here, I have a song. Can I play you a song that was done by AI for us? Yeah, sure. So I think this will work. Basically, I had a listener. I said, look, I was all over the tariff thing, you know, back last year and I'm like, I won't play the whole thing. Let's see if this. This old AI, I, well, I woke up this morning, check the price of steel. Look at my bottom line. Don't know how to feel. Yeah, baby. Tariffs keep rising.

Cause out of control Nice Trying to sell my goods But it's taking a cold All these tariffs You got to snap a little bit Yeah, baby Anyway

I thought it was good production Well interesting you bring that up I was going to start with something else So come back to that though But I mentioned to John months ago About the 232 tariffs And I said, you know The 232 tariffs is

that's the stealth that's going on, all these other tariffs, everyone's bitching and moaning about, then they're irrelevant. And the way I read these 232 tariffs was instead of paying a percentage of tariff over the percentage of steel in anything imported into the United States, you now had to pay the full whack over the any, over the full price of whatever had steel in it. So that's cars and, you know, washing machines and you name it. And that's exactly what came to fruition yesterday with the Patriot pellets. Have you been following the Patriot pellets? I have not.

What a Patriot pellets. Oh, the Patriot pellets. Oh, well, listen to this. Once completed, Masabi, Metallics, new steel plant will produce 10 million tons of steel per year using iron ore from the company's Minnesota and mine. And Minnesota has, I will tell you, they may be have a lousy governor, but they have great. Iron ore. They have one of the worst governors in history. A real stupid guy. But they do have good iron ore, which is more important, I guess. But it's the first new iron ore mine in the United States in more than 50 years with the highest quality. Or, in other words, this deal will be mined, melted and made right here in the USA, which is something very unusual. The project is expected to create up to 6,000 new construction jobs. Nearly 2,000. manufacturing of mining jobs and add another $95 billion

to the U.S. economy, which is the number one economy of the world by far. The best economy we've ever had, we're building $21 trillion worth of plants and others. Now I think we can add this to it. I'm not even including this, but this is a tremendous

investment. And it's going to be over the next 10 years using advanced steelmaking technology. The plant will produce some of the highest quality, most affordable steal anywhere in the world. They're going to be making it here and using it here and also shipping it outside and do very well.

So the president made a deal with RS technologies. I think there's an Indian company or an Indian owner for sure. And it's now the numbers all over the place, of course. It's either $15 billion or $18 billion. They're going to reopen the mine in Minnesota. And they're going to take the oil. from there and then ship it down, down river to Iowa. And that's where this plant is going to be built.

And this was all co-financed by the, I want to say, they had some government, they've been sending up these government funds all over the place where you can borrow money from the government, which I think there should be a podcaster money borrowing fund. And so here's Lutnik. And, of course, he was part of the deal. Okay, so these are your 232 tariffs, the steel tariffs at work. Without those tariffs, this mine doesn't get built and this steel plant does not get built. Two and a half billion dollar iron ore mine. It does iron ore pellets.

Right. Now, where do we get those pellets from now? We get them primarily from Brazil. So we are beholden to Brazil to build our steel in America because the input is coming from outside the country. So now we are unleashing the iron range in Minnesota, which is the great, Just as the chairman said, the greatest set of iron in the world is right here in America. We're going to these gentlemen to my right from SR. They're doing a fantastic job. Two and a half billion dollars for the mine. And then you go right down the Mississippi to Iowa, right?

Where they're going to build a $15 billion integrated steel plant, which will create steel at the same price they make it and import it from China. This is competitive. If you do it all here, and you don't ship it from around the world, you don't buy it from other people, this is exactly your plan. This is exactly why you're doing it

because you're driving steel to America. The gentleman to our right from SR are fantastic. This is great for Iowa. It's great for Minnesota. This is your plan. Living it out in America, building $17.5 billion dollar investment bringing steel which protects our national security home to America.

Well done. Yeah. So I agree with this. This is good. I mean, we close. I mean, anytime. Any time, Howard Loddick, we can bring steel back home. Oh, that guy is so irritating.

He almost sounds like song lyrics, you know. He should put him through the AI. Here's the SR guy. Thank you, Mr. President, for bringing back the importance of building. things in America. Yes, thank you very much. Well, I was born in India. I went to high school in New York, college in Boston, and did my MBA in California. Well, you know, hold on.

Can I say something? Obviously, he's not just giving his resume. He has to say this. Of course. Because everybody that's listening, he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, we're going to do... H-1B, what is this? Yeah, so everybody's going to freak out. I'm sorry. Yeah, no, you absolutely right. I've spent half my life here, so announcing this investment today

is a great honor and a true homecoming for me. My family and I, spend a lot of time in Minnesota, where we are investing $3 billion to build the first new mine in America in 50 years. We will be producing the Patriot Pellet Pellet very soon. Patriot Pallet Pallet, which will be amongst the highest quality iron ore pellets in the world. I love that. With the new steel complex in Iowa, we will complete the fully integrated American supply chain from mine to melt. American ore carried on American railroads to an American steel plant powered by American energy, built and operated by an

incredibly hardworking and talented American workforce. Mr. President, this plant will use the latest technology and will compete head to head with any steel plant in the world on size, quality, and on cost. This project writes the next chapter for our company and our family, and it is your policy and your own leaderships. Mr. President, that it made this possible. Thank you, sir. There are you go.

Now, of course you didn't hear about it because, you know, there's a million other important things going on in the world. Like, I don't know, there's a lot of important things. Well, can I just talk to you about something about this? Can we continue with this for a second? Yeah, sure. So Prashant Rui, Rav Ruea, Rajiv Agawal, Panak, Karra, Deepak, Mashwara. What do they all have in common?

They are all in the steel industry. They're all the directors of SR or managing directors or the Hydrant Power CEO or all these guys. And they're bringing the money. Yeah. So isn't it interesting that I was involved so close to the midterms? Well, hello. This is what you do, of course. It's clearly what you do.

Just, again, just to continue the reality check of what we're talking about. Oh, well, of course. And if you listen to the local media in Iowa, well, well, you know. President Trump stood in the Oval Office yesterday and announced what he called a done deal, a $15 billion steel plant in Lee County. But tonight, TV6 investigates, has found the administration's claims about the project, don't match reality. That's iffy.

On the ground, investigative reporter Matt Christensen, has been digging into land records, permits, and the fine print. Well, what do we say, Matt? It's billed as a game changer for Iowa's economy. Backers say the plant were produced 10 million tons of steel by 2030. Patriot pellets.

Enough to make Iowa the nation's number two steel producer. Masabi Metallics, the India-based company behind the plan, says it would create 5,000 to 6,000 construction jobs and about 1,700 permanent Iowa jobs. However... At the White House on Monday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and President Trump described a project that's already moving.

No, I think this deal is done. This deal is done. They've already worked it out. That's why we're all together with the president. The president doesn't bring people together unless it's a done deal. You guys know that already started building. That's not true.

TV6 Investigates reviewed Lee County land records. We found no major property purchases tied to the project this year. County officials say they don't have details from the company about its plans and no permits have been filed. Oh, there you go. This is what's great about audio, by the way. You know, we have a guy that's on there saying it's not true. You know, the ability to listen to the way people speak and their intonations versus having to watch it.

I mean, that guy definitely had a nasal problem. Yes, for sure. Not to mention the fact, by the way, that North American leader in Patriot Pellets or in Pellets is Cleveland Cliffs, a U.S. firm. Clearly, in Brazil, there are leaders there as well. Valet is one of them. But we have other producers around the world, Bahrain, Sweden, all sorts of places. So the idea that we're buying only from and the context. Hold on, hold on.

Is that the pellets? The pellets. The pellets. Cleveland Cliffs is the largest producer of iron ore pellets in North America. But that's not Patriot Pellets. That's Cleveland Clumps. It's very different. It's very different products.

Gotta write that one down. Yeah, I was going. You need a bell on that. Where's the bell? There. Ring a bell on that one. Cleveland clumps. But this is, you know, what you do here, the whole thing of what you're doing and it's great about this.

And what's great about the people are just not reporting the news is that the deconstruction part or the, it's not just for the entertainment values. I see it. It's for the education value. Well, sure. You look at what Hassett talks about, right? So tomorrow a big day is coming out. You have the jobs number. Bureau of Labor of Statistics.

Before you go there, let me just talk about the inflation numbers with you. Okay. So it's the PCE. What does that stand for? PCE is the personal consumption expenditure. Okay. So the PCE numbers like, wow, this is great. It's three-tenths lower who expected it we didn't know come to find.

They used a whole new way of calculating the numbers going back to 2021. Yes. They already knew this. There is a, there is a, we, John and I, we talk about this all the time. This, you know, there's a movie that Jerry Lewis had called Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the Water. And this is kind of what happens. If you don't like the statistical results, what you do is you change the methodology. There's a website called ShadowStats. John Williams.com, yep.

You know right? John Williams, an old guy who's supposed to be on the show recently. Something's going on with his eyesight or something. He keeps the methodology, I, I don't know, he keeps the methodology. identical from what it was back in 1980 for a lot of his various series. So the inflation series, I'll see where it is. If we followed the inflation series back to that point, I don't know, we're somewhere at like a 10% inflation rate right now. But since they didn't like the fact that the rental, the real estate pricing,

the real estate pricing they used and they don't want to use that and they take it out. And my favorite is when they say X food and energy, inflation, X food and energy is flat. Core inflation. because we don't drive, we don't eat. No, we don't eat. But, okay, so it's obviously, it is clearly, clearly a scam. But the jobs numbers, and I guess you probably, yes, you have clips. So the jobs numbers, my problem with that is, it's completely unreliable because, you know, in a month from now, like, you know, the jobs numbers, we're restating them, you know, was either over or under.

It's like, they're always restating them. This is, this, I don't understand how that. works. Don't they just have, you know, a database and out pops the number? Why is it always being restated other than for investment scam purposes? Well, investment scam or political benefit of making it look good. I think they have a really outdated model. They use some birth and death models for things like businesses and employment. Some of the ways they use it, like ADP uses payroll numbers, which seems like a way to do it for me. You've got the payroll companies around the world, around the country that are doing this. When it comes to the government, which just by their very nature, they're inept.

Yeah, of course. The ability to collect this data is somehow very difficult. It's a timely, timeliness issue, and they're very bad at it. Why don't we just ask Facebook? Ask meta. They'll tell you who has a job and who doesn't. I mean, that seems very easy to get all that information. They can't do it. And then they even go so far as once a year doing a seasonal adjustment. We had like an 800 or 900,000 job differential a few months ago that was lower than the expectation was, but they bury that. Right. And this is how it goes. The market, if the market doesn't know, it's all about the market.

Yeah. If the market doesn't know something happened a year ago, right, something terrible happens, but the market doesn't know they don't react. And then when they come out with that, they have their ability to release the information. now because we could unseal the document. But here's the thing. You're clearly on the inside because, you know, you're making Tina's numbers grow bigger than it would in the bank. So clearly you've got an inside track.

Or what is your, what is your formula? The formula is... We go out and we hit them in the mouth. I do. I hit them in the mouth. All these economists. I hit them in the mouth. It is to be skeptical, understand that.

this information is usable, but it is not necessarily investable. And understand the bigger picture of what people are doing. The psychology of money, the behavioral finance part of all this is really the backbone. It's taken me, by the way, many years to figure this out because at first it was like, oh, we got a bad employment number, sell everything. You're like, we got the Golden Cross or above the 50-day moving average. Exactly. Get out.

Get out. Get in. You know, it'd be every day you'd be moving back forth. The thing is that I think with the time that I've looked at all of this, and understanding, by the way, that the government has a desire to keep things going, no matter what, no matter how many trillions of dollars, they're going to backstop this with and ruin our economy, ruin the country, ruin the debt, ruin the dollar. And everybody has a vested interest, including the company.

So we have to understand. One time I was in, brings me back to a story. One time I was in Costa Rica, and I was with Jill and we were riding around. I was with five chicks in Costa Rica. Yeah. I was with Jill and we're riding a horse. It was bareback, actually. We had the...

So you're bearbacking Jill on a horse? I'm sorry. I was. I got you. Okay, I'm with you. And she's on a horse. I'm on a horse. I had to be as my guide.

It's like the Jack Palance of Costa Rica, okay? We're going around this mountain, it's very thin path, and Jill is freaking out. She says to me, the horse, the horse, I'm going. getting off the horse, the horse is going to fall off the mountain. And I said, look, the horse doesn't want to fall off the mountain just as badly as you don't want to fall off the mountain. Hang on to the horse. It's the same thing with these markets. You know, hang on. Because I know Jill, I can just see her like, Andrew, Andrew, the horse. Okay. So now I say it's the same thing with investing. You hold on to the horse. The markets,

the companies don't want to go down. The government doesn't want it to go down. The that's just the one to go down. That doesn't mean it always goes up and you've got to watch for those signals. You got to watch for when it's going to be a problem time where when, for example, in March, what I saw it was happening last March, we pulled out a lot of our what's called duration. We moved our bond holdings much differently, seeing that there was going to be an inflationary environment. And that saved us all that downstroke where we're seeing the 30-year bond is the highest it's been today.

It turned around a little bit, but highest it was since 2002. is not helping the mortgage market, the real estate market. And, you know, all the things that we've discussed on DHS and plug with circular financing of companies and all that stuff that I've been harping on for the last six months, we kind of make sure to stay away from that or move somewhere else to benefit. So you have to, it's like tea leaves in a way. And maybe only certain people can read those. I don't know. I'm not saying I'm the best by far, not the best. but you know you have to understand that there is a lot of there's a lot of static that comes across with all of these readings from the economic reports and even from corporate earnings reports i know for a fact oh dude i remember let me just tell you story

When we had think no ideas, it was public, this is the first company I had with Ron Blue. And so we had an analyst from, I think, the underwriter. And, you know, the analyst is there to provide coverage. And it was some Indian dude. He was a nice enough guy, but we just go in there and we just say, oh, man, we're doing so great with our advanced network analysis language, the locally managed network operating protocol.

It's all, it's really so, and he'd be writing this. down anal, LMNOP, you know, and he would provide guidance. Oh, these guys are going to knock it out of the park. It was stupid.

It was completely stupid. It meant nothing. And I know for a fact that there are a lot of the presidents, vice presidents, CEOs, that during their commentary on their earnings call, which is live, are watching their stocks.

Oh, of course. And how it's moving. Yeah. And then readjusting like another paper comes out. and goes in, oh, don't talk about that. And all of a sudden, how's this, you know, in the ear, how's the stock, how's the stock, how's the stock?

It's moving up on that, keep on that one. Keep on that page. Oh, wow. Let's play these jobs clips to set it up. Where do you got? So this is the process. So this is the judge, again, tomorrow's a number coming out, but this Kevin Hassett, which I've always said,

again, if you listen to DHA plugged, a very man with an ill-fitting shirt. He's a total nerd. He doesn't look very clued in, honestly. He looks like a, uh, he's something out of, he looks like he's, he could be Janet Yellen's son. You know, you know he looks like, um, and I think he's the chairman of the president's, uh, economic advisory board, I think. Is that the, that's, that's who he is. Yeah. Um, do you ever watch Ted Lassow? Yeah. So the guy Higgins, who's the, who's the, the, the office manager of the, of the, of the football

club. Okay. I go that. That's what Hassard looks like. Yeah. And acts like to me, like this little scaredy cat guy, and he's in books, and he comes out and go, oh, yeah, everything's great. He's fantastic. He's all good. He comes out because, you know, he gets that morning after CMBC and Bloomberg and all these guys, they go to him. You know, he's the council economic advisors. They go to talk to him. He's standing on the White House lawn, usually. Right. So here's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the, according to the latest jobs report. We'll also hear him address concerns about the impact of the U.S. Iran war on the American economy.

This is just under 10 minutes. Yeah, C-SPAN for sure. Tight, Andrew, tight clip. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Well, where is it? Here it comes. I'm hearing noise.

Here he goes. Where is this? I don't know. I don't know. This is the clip. Are all your clips out of phase? I don't think so. Hold on, let me see if I can fix that.

Wait, what is that? What's happening? I don't know. All I'm hearing is background. Hey, guys, until I start getting overheated, I said I take a few questions. Oh, there he is. We'll see how long I can handle those. This shouldn't be that long. This should have been clipped right. Thanks a lot, Kevin. What do you make of the new numbers as it relates to the labor department's employment numbers, some negative growth as it relates to employment?

Right. Well, first of all, the momentum in the economy continues to be strong. We see durable goods orders, capital spending through the roof. People aren't being laid off. Initial claims to unemployment insurance are about the lowest that that's since World War II. And so when you see a number like that, it seems like it's dissonant. Okay. So this is him denying and talking about durable goods for some reason versus the whole thing, right?

And talking about all sorts of items and aberrations. That was the July one, right? And goes there. Then he comes into August, and I don't know what's about to happen when you play this. The waveform looks better. It should be okay. He goes into August when there's a better number out, right? And then he starts with this.

We're all kind of bracing for maybe a softer number after ADP, after some of the Jolt's hiring rates figures earlier in the week. What do you think flipped the switch? Well, you know, last time we talked about how there was a bad number, but a lot of it was sort of seasonal stuff. teachers. So I was saying I was kind of expecting a pretty good number because I thought there'd be a bounce back on that. But this number was way, way better than I expected. And it wasn't just me. We went back and looked and 77 people posted their forecast at Bloomberg, and this

blew past everybody. So this number was above anybody's forecast. And by a lot, it was four standard deviations above the mean. And so it's a really blockbuster number. And then when you're trying to say, well, why did it happen? If you dig down, then what you're going to, then what you're what you can see is that there's a lot of policy success underneath it all. And so capital spending is through the roof. It's getting set to about double since President Trump took office relative to GDP. And you're seeing the construction of factories through the roof. So employment, one of the most interesting things to me in the data,

is that since President Trump took office, employment for people who are building factories, has gone up by 90,000. So think about how many future jobs that's going to create. And so I think that... Yeah. I mean, first of all, there was a 100% one year right off of all capital expenditures. So it seems like they spike the numbers with that. Well, the massive swings and the timing of school years between July and August.

Local government education payrolls actually crashed by $58,000 in July, but all came back in August. He doesn't talk about that. Oh, okay, because everyone's off. I got you. Right. And then July distortions, the World Cup, there was a whole thing there. They were reversed. It was weird hiring that went on with restaurants. and things like that during the World Cup.

That was in the early summer, not discussed as it was a huge impact. And then if you actually look deeper into all of this, but what's interesting was that LinkedIn, indeed, hiring, they talked about a spike representing an isolated rebound from earlier summer weakness rather than a shifting long-term trend. So the first one he comes in discusses not labor but the durable goods orders. Okay. The second one, pat on the back, policy, oh my God, Trump is doing a great job.

We have it licked. That was, and discount the whole old. So this is a kind of setup that you get. You have to know what to listen to and who to listen to. And so what do you take away from this? What is your take? It's all crap. Okay.

Let me invest on that. By the way, you're going to be competing now with every snot nose with a Robin Hood account, now that they're going to have AI trading in Robin Hood. Have you been following that? Of course. I mean, we've looked into this idea as well. Listen, back years ago, I tried to set up neuro- Oh, I tried this myself.

Linguistic, blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah. It works until you push the live button. It always works on historical data. See, my app would have completely made me a billionaire on this historical data. And then you do it on real data. And it's like, what? What does that happen?

I'm telling you, I spent months working on things. As soon as I click the switch, I'm like, wait, is that, what does that sound? What is it? That's my wallet trading. That's what my sound is. Yeah, exactly. Well, like, what? They just had a secondary offering?

What happened to my stock? It's, it's, uh, the AI side of it. What's going to end up happening is that everybody's going to jump on board with this and you're going to see AI's fighting AI's no different than we've had beforehand with algorithm trading, algorithmic trading. Yeah. That's a big thing. Computers trading now.

The idea that we can hold up a certain part of the market. while selling off another one to make liquidation happen, but yet not hurt the index. Thereby I can trade underneath, hold index or options on the index, and hold my position while I'm liquidating on the other side. There's all sorts of fun things that happen in this market. But no matter what we say for the next, however long discussion today,

the market in the world is one of the single best creators of wealth there is. So we have to remember that. No, there you go. There you go. As much as we may hate it. Who needs Patriot Pellets when you got Horowitz in Fort Lauderdale? Yeah. There's also, I mean, but you, again, I'm always looking for where the BS is.

So there's big concern about the higher cost of capital, right? And that's going to hit our pocketbooks. And I'll just translate. That means borrowing money. borrowing money is much more difficult. Housing prices are still elevated. Can I play some clips here? Sure.

I got two here from CNBC. This was an analyst about people's savings. In the last three or four years, values have deteriorated with the rise of interest rates. And I think values, depending on a property type, could be as much as 50%. But on average, I'd say, about 20% loss of value. He's talking about commercial real estate.

Now, where that is playing into the business is the fact that... This guy's very dynamic. I'm sorry. There's a wall of free financing that has to be done. The number I saw was about $750 billion in the next two years. That's kind of crazy. Does that scare you? If I had dead, I would be petrified.

If I had debt, I'd be petrified. Why? Why? The extend and pretend party is over. And banks are being more aggressive about either selling off the loans or, um, uh, disposed,

you know, trying to dispose of the assets on one way or the other. And so for ownership, the truth is that, you know, we kind of, the rubber hit the road now. And there's going to be a lot of,

uh, opportunities and also a lot of heartache as a result of this. So that's commercial. but now the individual. A lot of people are focused on affordability and how they're paying for everything. And your report has an increasing number of households that are supporting their spending

by drawing on their investments. Tell me a little bit about that. That's right. I think a lot of people have the sense that with the stock market going up so much, it must have something to do with consumer spending. But a lot of people don't have a sense of exactly what households are doing, families like yours,

families like mine. And that's one of the really distinctive features. of our data is it lets us really see in a granular way what's happening with everyday households. And so what we did was we looked at investment accounts to see how much money was coming out of those investment accounts, going into checking accounts where people can spend that money as a way to get a lens on this question. We found two really interesting things. One, the frequency in which people are pulling money out and the amount of money coming

out of those accounts to fund that spending has gone up nearly doubled really since 2019 of 2026. And then two, we found there's some really important differences in terms of like who's getting that money, who's using that money. This is a phenomenon that's most pronounced for older families and people with higher incomes. So is this people taking money off the table or they're just trying to survive? Look, I haven't seen it. There's the other discussion that they have, this, you know, how many trillions of dollars

of cash sitting on the sidelines? So this idea that people are pulling money out, people always put pull money out. They have RMDs required minimum distributions at age 73 that they have to start taking from their IRAs. People do things like they need a roof, right? Most people are much more invested today than they ever have been. So a lot of their money is tied up into their accounts. I don't know. I haven't seen any studies.

I haven't seen it here. People like, hey, you know, I can't live. Sometimes people lose their jobs, you know, and they have to tap. But the other guy was talking about commercial. real estate. That is a bigger issue. That's been funded, leveraged by private credit. That really gets its mojo by low cost of capital, which is, again, low interest rates. And everything is built upon these very fancy models that are done. It's built upon an interest rate of, let's say, three, four percent. You now have a seven or eight percent interest rate. Yeah. You no longer can

make the money that you've made before. And those private credit deals that are out there that are now coming to maturity, they usually short term. After a build, we'll do a bridge finance, we'll do something to maybe a makeover deal. And now that usually lasts four to seven years, something like that. Well, here's four to seven years come up and now they need to refinance for something and nobody's out there willing to do it. Or they're not willing to come in for less than, let's say, 9%. And this whole deal was predicated on a 4% interest rate to make any money.

So things are clamped down. some areas. That's probably why Besson came out recently with his concern. Buffalo Besson. Buffalo Besson. Buffalo, yeah, with his very big bad bond buying blunder, which is, uh, yeah, that didn't do much, did it? No, it is a matter of fact, when he did that, I said, bad move, man, because when the treasury comes at that level saying, I'm the house, don't bet against us, uh, that's crisis talk. So now, since then, his $6 billion of monthly buying has done absolutely nothing. He gives the counterfactual. He says there's a counterfactual argument.

What's the counterfactual? How much worse would it have been if I didn't do it? Job saved or created. Uh-huh. Exactly. Wow. Oh, okay. Oh, interesting.

Well, I mean, obviously, solution. We're just going to tokenize everything. I'm going to tokenize this podcast. Everything will be a token. You can trade on the, the No Agenda Show, right there in your Robin Hood app, everything's token highs, $900 trillion worth of assets. That's going to keep us going for at least another 15 years.

It's interesting because the Robin Hood is trying to tokenize a lot of equities. And really, that goes to be supposedly the saying it's going to be fully backed and held by actual equities behind the token. Oh, at the, at the DCCCC, C, C, C, whatever that thing is? That scam? If you're doing that, why are you doing that? Right? If you're going to do that, if you're going to do that, if you're going to do that, if you're

to back it fully buy the actual stock. Yeah. Just buy the stock. I mean, why do we have to do something different here? It's kind of weird. I want to just, I've been looking at the quad screen all morning. We'll come back to some financial stuff. But the quad screen all morning, the BBC, has had story after story after story, nonstop.

And it's one story and this is it. We start with breaking news. It's our coming in from the United States where there is uncertainty. over the outcome of an execution in the state of Tennessee. Death row prisoner Krista Pike was given two lethal injections after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for her to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years. But her current condition remains unclear. Prison officials have not announced a time of death,

and her lawyer says she has been taken to hospital. Some of those who witnessed the execution have now spoken to reporters outside the prison, describing what they saw and heard inside. So they go on and on and on and this is ridiculous, and America is crazy and they're no good, and this is just an outrage. I'm like, well, maybe the BBC in the UK could actually help us. Strangely, these days, I use my stethoscope more to determine if someone has no heartbeat. Dr. Conja Troughton has administered lethal doses.

to hundreds of patients. She says Maid is working well in Canada. We need to hire this lady, obviously. Start an intravenous. There we go. Start the intravenous. Start it through there. Okay, and then I'd secure it in place.

Injecting the drugs means it usually takes only a few minutes to die. Why can't we get this lady and her protocol? It seems like that's a slam dunk. BBC? Yeah, I have a clip on this as well. Yeah, it's all at the end. Votched execution? So this was a female, only woman in Tennessee death row ever.

Ever. And failed it twice at the lethal injection. Overnight, a failed execution in a case that's grabbed national attention. Nothing about today was normal, typical at all. Krista Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, surviving two lethal injection attempts. Pike now being treated at a nearby hospital, according to her attorneys, who say they do not. not know her condition. Journalists who witnessed the attempted execution described Pike's snoring and complaining about pain. I covered all the executions last year. That's horrible. And most of the

ones this year, we haven't seen anything like it. It went really poorly. Pike now 50 has spent nearly three decades on death row after being convicted of torturing and murdering a classmate, calling Slemmer in 1995 when Pike was 18 years old. She would have been the first woman put to death in Tennessee in over 200 years. Now, my thinking on this is if you survive it, you should be going to go. You're free to go. Palace compressor. You know what that is?

No. This is when the emperors would throw the people in the Coliseum and they fight to the death. And a lot of people think when the thumbs up goes up, they live, right? No. No, no. When the thumb goes up, that's actually the opposite. Oh. The opposite means symbolizes an uplifted sword.

Oh, I didn't know this. Make it swift. The victorious gladiator should execute the loser. Where hiding the thumb for mercy is, what does it go? Palace Compresso. Where's despair of the gladiator. So I don't know. My vote, if I was emperor here, I got a hidden thumb.

Let her. Let her live. Let her go. She suffered. And especially because she was, this is a tough woman snoring through a lethal No kidding. I mean, that's outrageous. That's outrageous. Yeah. So the world is, well, at least the world is looking at something other than the other joke going on. We got to do the breaking news. Breaking news. Breaking news. Nobody knows anything.

Sources have been very clear in saying this was an altercation, a violent incident between pilots, then prompted an emergency signal. I want to take you through the timeline here that just after we saw the aircraft dropping, and this is really dramatic from an altitude of around 34,000 feet to 16 and a half thousand feet in just under two minutes, which happened at around 120 a.m. Eastern, then an emergency signal was sent out at 132 a.m. Israeli officials said this was not a hijacking, so that's really important because there were initial concerns when that emergency signal was sent out. This was a violent incident between the pilots. And then this, this was so seriously taken, and of course because the entire region is dealing with just so much

tension that the Israeli Prime Minister and Defence Minister held a security consultation. Israeli fighter jets signals were scrambled because of this. And then if we look at flight radar data, flight takes off from Dubai, then when it's over Saudi airspace, this is when eventually it starts diverting. It's now landed according to fly Dubai in Tabuk. quite important here that fly dubai has not confirmed that this was indeed a violent incident between the pilots that this this this reporting drives me nuts it was from 30,000 to 16,000 in two minutes 33,000 to 16 thousands in 30 seconds it was a hijacking there was squawking 7500 but

they weren't 7700 the pilots were fighting they weren't there was a knife it was this was that ABC has a different version israeli prime minister netting yahoo now says a pilot on a fly Dubai flight stabbed another pilot and tried to crash the plane. New video from inside the plane shows the moments the altitude dropped. You can hear passengers asking what's happening. The plane eventually landed safely in Saudi Arabia. And now Israeli officials are working to get passengers back home safely. And of course, trying to piece together what happened here. Chief Foreign Corresponding Ian Panel has the details for us. Ian, what's the latest on this investigation? Yeah, Diane, I mean, I think it is increasingly looking

like a terrorist incident. That's certainly what Israel is calling it right now as we start to get more and more details about what took place. Here's what we know right now. Flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv making a sudden diversion after issuing emergency distress signals. Minutes after a general alert, it then sent an emergency warning of a possible and lawful interference or hijacking, as you say. Prime Minister Nasin Yahoo is saying that one pilot stabbed the other and tried to crash the plane. As the fly Dubai, craft was about an hour from landing. It suddenly suffered this rapid descent plunging from 34 to 16,000 feet in three minutes over Saudi Arabia. This makes a big difference.

34 to 16,000 in two minutes or three minutes makes a big difference what your rate of descent is. Clearly. And nobody, you know, this is ADSB data, which is, you know, it's a generally good indicator, but it's not telling you, it's not giving you second by second. And so, you know, if this thing was going down at 6,000 feet per minute, you're not rushing forward to anything. You're plastered against the ceiling if you're not buckled in. So this story is all over the map. There's all kinds of, it's because nobody knows anything, really. I mean, I heard that, first of all, how to get a knife in there, right?

I heard the emergency axe. It's called the crash axe. Yeah, you got the crash axe in the cockpit. But if you want, okay, this is a Boeing 737, Max 8. if you want to crash the plane, there's easier ways than stabbing the pilot.

You just lean back in your chair, you cut the engines, put your feet on the yoke, press it forward. Good luck. And there was a story that it was saved by a man who ran into the cabin,

which you would think the cabin door was open. And then they finished the story that I heard was, and he was a plumber. Oh, yeah. No, the story is great. It gets even better. Citizens of Israel.

This morning, there was a highly severe security incident on a flight from Dubai to Israel. Almost all the passengers on the flight were Israelis. During the flight as they approached the country, one of the pilots stabbed the other pilot. He apparently tried to crash the plane with its passengers. I spoke with one of the Israeli passengers. He told me that the plane entered a tailspin and began to die. No, okay. Tailspin.

Now we're in a tailspin. Wow. No, you're not in a tailspin. This is not happening. Let's hear from President Trump, who spoke to BB himself. I did speak to BB Netanyahu at length about this event. And it seems as though the co-pilot was perhaps a terrorist or perhaps a whack job. A whack job. And he shamed the pilot. The pilot was in very bad shape.

and I guess he still isn't very bad shit. But he had the sense to amazing to, in a way, he was a hero, to open the door. You know, those doors are solid steel. You can't get them open from outside. Yeah, the early reporting, you know, the passengers broke down the door. No, you're not, this pure steel has to be open from the inside. It's the distance from either pilot seat to open the door. You can do it just by leaning back, basically, and opening the door.

And I guess that's what happened. But again, nobody knows that. He was able to fall back and get the door open and scream. And a plumber, an Israeli plumber. Plumber. Never flew a plane. He was rarely in planes. Very rarely flew.

Here you go. An Israeli plumber saw what was happening. And having never flown a plane, he took the stick, lifted it up, and leveled out the plane before it crashed. I love the technical analysis of our president. He took the stick. stick? Okay. No, there's no stick. It could be

it's not a side yoke. It's a yoke. It's a yoke. It's not a stick. But, okay, Mr. President. Now, this is the story that I heard. I don't know if it's true. Good. I'm glad he said that bit at least. Thank you. Thank you. But that's the story that I got from BB and from a couple probably earlier. I don't know if you've heard

that story yet. I think it's an amazing so a plumber, never flew a plane, a strong guy, lift him up, throw him back. the crowd was was they knew they were going to die shortly because the G-forces

but they were able to hold them yeah okay the magical G-forces went away sure he was going crazy and he was crazy and this plumber never having flown a plane

had the sense to lift a stick who was it and you know it's not like planes are different today he used to have a little steering wheel today is like differently

today is like a little steering wheel and when asked why he did that, he said he watches that show air disasters. You know the show? Good preparation. This is the best part. I never want to watch it because I watch it.

I don't like watching it because bad things happen. But he said he watches it a lot. And he learned from watching that show sort of had a flight. All right. So first of all... I have questions. I have so many questions.

First, I need to call Dana Brunetti. Attention, Dana Burnetti. Coming. Coming. coming this fall, the plumber. Okay, we got to do a movie about this guy. You need to have a plumber that could fly a plane and a pilot that could fix a toilet. That would be great. Same guy.

It's perfect. Okay. I got a couple more clips. Go ahead with your questions. If there was how many pilots on the plane inside the cabin? Well, two. Two. So you had two pilots.

Just hear me out here. You had two pilots. One's the stabber, one's the stabby. Yes. One's bleeding profusely. He's in bad shape. He's in bed. He was hit by an axe.

The other one is the terrorist slash crazy man, whatever. The plumber goes in and he picks up the stick and levels off the plane. Yeah, okay. Who lands the plane? Oh, no, no. There were all these other pilots in the back. Oh, no, there were pilots on deadheads and all kinds of pilots hanging around. And they went in, they landed the plane.

Yeah. That's good. Now, they show an aircraft with its rudder broken, which could happen. In a tailspin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that could happen in a tailspin. We'd have more pieces to look at. But you don't necessarily need that to land the plane. In fact, you know, you can do more with the engines than anything.

But it seems the whole thing makes no sense. And I heard passengers saying, hey, I heard him sing, say, Alaw Akbar. Like, okay, maybe. But let's listen to BB Nett and Yahoo. Maybe we'll get some more clues. Mr. Prime Minister, thank you very much for joining. us tonight. Thank you. Good to be with you. This is a day that could have ended very

differently. What do you know at this hour about exactly what happened? I think what happened is a tremendous act of heroism that prevented another 9-11 style. Oh, bring out the 9-11. 9-11 style. There you go. There's reasons he's doing this. Crash of an entire airplane. What we know

is that this plane that was heading from Dubai to Israel as they approached Israel, one of the co-pilots stabbed or hit with an axe. So now he has the axe bit. That's interesting. He's got the axe. Other pilot, an Indian pilot. And the pilot that was hit,

bleeding profusely, fighting for his life, managed to unlock the pilot's door. But the plane was going into a nose dive. Now we're nose dive. So someone's talked to him, like, hey, Bibi, listen, man, you got to get this right. You can't say tailspin, okay? Nose dive. All right, maybe. They heard the screaming.

A passenger, an Israeli passenger, sitting in row 18, rushed to the cockpit. Oh, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

18 is high. Yes. It's the lucky number. Yes. It is the lucky number. It is the special thing. You give a gift of a multiple of 18. 18.

18, that's right. High. Yep, chai. Little little things you got a cashier. Oh, no, you're perfect. I was going to say it, but you nailed it. You had the chai. Hi.

Hi. Yeah. Hello. And listen. Let's listen again how Netanyahu says that number is listening. It was going into a noise dive. When they heard the screaming, a passenger, an Israeli passenger, sitting in row 18. Oh, yeah.

He's messaging it. Row 18. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi. a nose dive. When they heard the screaming, a passenger, an Israeli passenger, sitting in row 18,

rushed to the cockpit, trying to open it. When the plane started to nosedive, he was thrown aside in that area where the stewards are, the flight attendants are. And somehow he managed, there was a moment where I think they hit an air bump or something, and anyway, he had the opportunity. The tail broke off. He went through the door. bus through, he saw the pilot that attacked the other co-pilot between the two seats trying to jam the equipment. Now, this is another thing that bothers me. What is the mission of this guy to jam the equipment? I mean, so he's standing in between the console.

What is he trying to do? Jam the equipment? It doesn't make any sense. What is there to jam? going to break the glass or try and rip the engine not if you're trying to kill everybody then you there's a lot of things you could have done so maybe he wasn't trying to maybe they got in a fight over something maybe he's trying to like maybe he's trying to like unscrew the spark plugs or something the flight equipment obviously it looks like you wanted to obviously bring the the whole plane down

no that's not that's not obvious that's the not obvious from behind pulled him back then unbelievably, took the stick, pulled it back. This is not a pilot. This is a plumber. This is what he does. I asked him, what do you do for a living? Because I met him at the airport when they all came back to Israel. And I said, what do you do for a living?

And he said, well, I'm, you know, I unclogged sewage clogs. And I said, well, you certainly unclogged a big one this time. Okay. Those politicians are funny. So here comes the real messaging. And regardless of what happened on this aircraft, and we won't know until we have cockpit data recorder, cockpit voice recorder. Everything else is just conjecture. People have, I mean, oh, the pilot forms are the worst right now.

People are piling in. There's no analysis from anybody because we literally have no data. Just some ADSB publicly available data, which is, you know, leveled out, normalized. You really don't know what the descent rate was. Because if what they're saying is true, it's amazing the plane didn't fall apart. You know, when you're going 100 knots, 100 miles an hour roughly over your, you know, VNE velocity never exceed. The plane should be falling. Maybe it was an airbus.

It might have melted. I don't know. So kudos to Boeing. But Bibi Netanyahu is, you know, along the same lines as Rahm Emanuel. Never let a good crisis go to waste. That's exactly what this is. Do you have intelligence about a planned 9-11-style attack on Israel? Not a specific 9-11 attack.

That is not the issue. The issue is terrible. What? What? Going back on what you said? Okay. First attacks against Israelis abroad and Israel and inside Israel itself. Be afraid.

Indications that the Iranian proxies, Hamas and Chisbala in particular. Cow are in place. are planning attacks on us before the election. What? What did he say? What did he say? That the Iranian proxies, Hamas and Chisbal in particular, are planning attacks on us before the election. Ah, there it is. Before the election on October 27th,

which is going to be one of the most contended elections of his career. And whether this is, some people say it's a false flag. I don't know. There seems to be a lot of evidence that something really happened. Was it some MK. Ultrad co-pilot? Because you can't come up with any other explanation for someone who wanted to hijack the plane in a 9-11 attack because you need to have it flying. So you can't be dismantling it. Did you really want to crash it?

Well, you could have done that without all the drama. So maybe, you know, you got to. got someone to do something, someone nutty. So what Bibi Net-Yahu's message is, is you really want to stick with the lion. The lion is going to protect you because they're planning all kinds of stuff before the election. But I can't say specifically about airline hijacking. Obviously, that's now coming to the roster and we're going to look very carefully at that. What do you think this day's event say about the broader security situation in the world for Israel right now? Stick with me. Well, I think that we are aware.

the fact that there is a very strong sense of danger that we have because we know that our enemies are targeting Israelis abroad. Right now. As we speak. We're very much aware of it. We're doing what we can. But I think it's part of a larger picture. It's Iran's ultimate goal. What's with a laugh tell, Bibi? Why is that so funny? I don't think it's very funny. We're very much aware of it. We're doing what we can. But I think it's part of a larger picture. It's Iran's, uh, it's Iran's ultimate goal to not only to kill Israelis and destroy Israel, they chant death to Israel, death to America, but they call us the little Satan. And their real target is the big Satan.

Oh, okay. So we have something to do with it. The big Satan is you. That's why they're trying to develop nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to every city in the United States. It will take them some time, but they're working on this. So I think that the fact that President Trump is tightening the economic blockade on Iran is very effective. I think that's it's really bearing fruit. Okay. So what I hear is we got elections coming up.

You really want to stick with me because they're targeting Hamas and Khazbalah are targeting Israelis before the election. And you got to stick with me because we may be the little Satan, but the big Satan

is America. And I got Trump. He's going to protect us. But you want to stick with me. Stick with me. And by the way, people who are going to vote against me, people thought that this next clip was about America, but it's about Israel itself. And so the only way you're going to stop this is by destroying them. It's like, the only way you've got peace in Germany is by destroying the SS. You didn't say, oh, well, we'll leave an enclave of the SS and there we'll have peace. No, you destroyed this murderous regime, and then you got peace. We have to destroy this murderous regime of

Hamas, and then we'll get peace. And Hamas, Hamas. Hamas is being glorified on American networks and especially in social media. Yeah, and in your own backyard. The LGBT movement is very strong in Israel. You know, I have, I hear gays for Gaza. That's, I liken it to, you know, chickens for KFC. These people shoot gays. They're the worst offenders of human rights on the planet.

What about, what about the homos for Hamas? What about them? I heard that one. The lesbians for Lebanon. Where's that? Come on. Come on, people. Good Jew jokes, Andrew. Thank.

I've just been taken in by this vast campaign of propaganda against Israel. Israel is fighting for civilization. Israel is fighting these barbarians. We fought shoulder to shoulder with the Americans against their patron, Iran. The head of the octopus, if you will. But we are committed to cutting off these tentacles that can threaten us and can kill a lot of Americans. By the way, on that day of October 7th, they killed dozens and dozens of Americans. Okay.

There you go. I mean, I think we know that this is a big political, I mean, obviously anything that can and will be used to help my political career of some sort. And the idea of creating fear, that's nothing new. I mean, right now this is being done by the AI companies. Well, not anymore, because President Trump took good care of that. Well, yes. Yes, he did. Well, he got the white,

something. He got the accord. Come on. First of all, Andrew, no, come on now. Let's call it what it is. What is it? The super intelligence. Super intelligence. No. No, no, no. Can you play that clip called?

You have the clip. Oh, okay. Sci intelligence. They love our country. They love the world. And they came together. They did something that few people really, it's almost like a constitution in a way. Almost. And the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president, and it really is a form of protection.

It's accountable. When the AI agents committed a crime. It's not AI. It's Essie. That's the other thing. We've changed the name officially today. We've changed the name Steve officially to SI, okay? Okay. S-I, like S-I instead of AI. You know what that means? Super Intelligence. So the name, I guess that's really quite an announcement because, but the name has been

officially changed by the biggest, the smartest, the greatest people anywhere in the world at this. And I was with presidency a few days ago, and he would admit. He said, these are the smartest people in the world at what? Let's go ahead. Is this a core that everybody signed? Is it binding in any way? I think it's Marley, binding.

It's Marley. It's great. It's fantastic. Hey, you should be happy. He's keeping the market alive, man. Can't have this trade unwind. No, it's this sigh intelligence. Like the Pohom intelligence.

It's the sci intelligence. We just got to change the name. If we change the name, it's all good. You know, it's interesting because there's no guardrail, self-policing on this. And everybody's standing behind him. Yeah, yeah. shaking their head, yeah, yeah. And do we trust any of these dudes that were in that discussion to behave morally?

I'm not worried about this at all. Okay. I'm not worried about any of this at all. It's all marketing. You should know better. Of course, of course. This is all IPO marketing. Of course.

But I'm saying that this discussion was so ridiculous. that somebody would actually say that it's binding and we have a moral binding. Well, it's just, it's marketing from Trump. Like, you know, I'm surprised, and Calicanis and I talked about this. I'm surprised they can call it Trump intelligence. That would have been even funnier. Yeah, that's next. Trump intelligence.

It's all of this, every single bit of it is marketing for the IPO. And you should want that too, because if they're not successful with their, with their IPOs, everything's going to come unraveling. And the worst part is the data centers because that's real estate. These are real estate investments. Everybody who invest money understand, they don't understand SI, but they understand bricks and mortar. Okay, I got that. I'll put my money in that. We don't want that to unwind and Trump doesn't want it to unwind. And I personally, I believe we are on the cusp of an outrageous, incredibly cool moment. in time.

I would go with super duper intelligence then. I mean, why stop? Why stop for super? Let's just keep going. Super duper. But it's going to change everything. I agree. And I agree.

I mean, like really, you won't be buying software. You'll make stuff yourself. I mean, on tomorrow on podcasting 2.0, I'm going to tell everybody, like, you're making a podcast app. You should completely scrap your plans and start over. You know, make a podcast. an agent for podcasts. Because that's what, you know, we're still, podcast apps are still inboxes.

Here's, here's all my subjects and here's my messages. You know, there's no agenda and there's no agenda messages. There's a DH unplugged and there's D.H. unplugged messages. Now, my agent's going to, going to say, hey, you know, the new, this week in Bitcoin dropped. Hey, you know, Chris is talking about this, this and this. You want to listen to it or want to hear a clip real quick. And hey, hey, there's another podcast that sounds just like it has some interesting other things. You want to listen to that? Shall I subscribe to

that? I'll tell you when it comes. I mean, all of this stuff is going to happen. All of it. And that's just that. Your phone is just going to be a slab. Well, there's so many things that we can't even think about understanding. You can. You are, people don't know this, but you're a maker.

You program, you've done stuff. You've made, you know, models and trading things. Yep. You know, so now you can just make it. You just say, make it. Here's an admission. As of last week, I am now the proud... I bet you're using Grockbot.

I'm using Grockbot some very, very super duper special person told me about that one. Super duper. Oh, you mean your friend in Texas? The super duper intelligence guy? Yeah. That's him. But as of last week, I am the proud subscriber to, I think, five different AI model, or AI programs for different reasons.

Yeah. Just the basics. Yeah. So I'm just saying I'm finally paying for everything. It was free for a while for this one, for that. that one. Now I'm paying $20 a month for that. It's worth it. It's totally worth it. I can tell you, X, Facebook, Instagram, that's all going to change, too. It's all going away. You'll be like, I got my own little, little Instagram with my buddies. I had my agent make it.

But there's still a lot of fear out there. I mean, there's this hysteria about it. Because we're being told to be afraid. We're all going to die. The children will never see snow. Come on. Play mass hysteria. And, but it's such a beautiful confluence. Oh, yeah. Of the midterms and Republicans being all in data centers and the flock cameras and Skynet and Terminator and all this stuff. And people are going out of their minds.

But I, I, look, I'm 62. You know, it's like, I know what I'm going to do with the rest of my years. I'm doing it for Jesus. But everyone else, young people figure this stuff out. There's going to be so many. opportunities. And I'm not talking about making some subset AI thing, but, you know, there'll be businesses. It'll, it'll make you more productive. Have you gotten Jill on any kind of bot? You've got to get her a muse. Muse is phenomenal. I'm going to try that. She has been planning a

trip to Malaysia that we're taking and utilizing primarily the bots. Yeah. To help us wind through. I was in Italy and I was in front of a cathedral. and I said, you know, it looks like to me, if you look at the top, it looks like the 12 apostles up there. I'm not sure exactly what this is. I couldn't make out exactly what was going on, right, from the front facade. I took a picture of it. I said, here's where I am.

Can you explain this to me? Yeah, boom. Explain the whole thing to me. I mean, that's rudimentary. I get it. But recipes, I've made, changed bread recipes. And you're a chef, you're a chef. Let's just say you're a chef.

Incredible. Incredible. But you got to think way broader than that. Of course. Of course, and the tie-ins, I get in the office on a Monday, I get a list of special items that I need to make sure I focus on from the, from chat that ties into my Gmail. It gives me a full list of that.

Every day we produce written like me with the stocks that we own, a full piece that comes back to me to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks that I didn't read. But about anything we own. Do you feel at any point threatened by these things you're using? Do I, no, not at all. No, of course not. It's a tool. Yeah, it's a tool.

It's a phenomenal tool. A lot of people out there freaking out. Well, because they're being told to freak out. And the president is trying to call them down. He says, hey, you guys suck. Stop this nonsense. We can't have the world unraveling over this. It's going to screw our economy.

What are the Mag 7 at this point of our GDP, 40%? Some outrageous amount? It's going to make, it's going to change things. And if you don't adapt, you're going to lose. It's just like buggy whips. But it's going to go really fast. Yeah, I agree with that. It's going to technology.

And, you know, so I was talking to Pastor Jimmy. And we didn't talk about the, we do the show, we get to do this. But we didn't talk about this. So he texts me one morning and says, oh, man, like I can't put links on the church web, on the church Facebook page. What are you talking about? It says, well, you can do two links a month. And otherwise you have to pay. That's what?

Yeah. So if you want four links, you got to pay $20. If you want eight links, you got to pay $40. you can call yeah yeah and I said well is this what is what about the bridge church said well it's a business account okay says but you know we're a non-profit I said oh stop right there just because your nonprofit doesn't mean you don't spend money or have money coming in you know it's like there's lots of nonprofits that have to spend money on stuff and Facebook is now charging you so you know stop with the oh but we're a church but you look into it and the reason why they

have to do this with these business accounts is because people People are spinning up bots everywhere. And the bots are, you know, posting massively, gaming the algorithm. So Facebook has to counter that. Well, what's going to happen is everyone in the church is going to have their own bot. And that bot is going to get alerted by the church bot that there's something going on on Wednesday night. I mean, I can see this coming down Broadway. And people, you know, and seriously, I would dump my Microsoft stock.

I would say Apple is a good one to hold. I'm going to give you some advice. You want some advice? Do you buy stocks and bonds? I'm waiting an hour and a half already. I'm waiting 90 minutes. Do you want to leave your wife, Rich? I'm going to tell you what to do, okay?

Okay. Let me get a pen. So dump all of the software stocks, dump office. I'm sure you're not in Microsoft anyway. Apple has a real shot because of the hardware they're making and the chips that they have for local AI models, but they're arrogant. so I wouldn't allocate too much into Apple because they're just arrogant. This is A-holes and they charge too much for their hardware.

AMD, you know, AMD just bought this company that's putting a large language model on the chip. So it's going to be super fast, easy to run your computer. You know, you can't buy Hugging Face at Nvidia, but I, Nvidia, you probably should have bought that for the stock buyback, etc. But, and I've always, I have not a fan of meta. never been a fan. But Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg figured it out. He figured it out with Mews and he's going to cannibalize all of his other businesses for this because I've been using Mews now for a couple of weeks. I see what it's doing. I see how it integrates into your life. I give it a lot of access,

but not everything, but enough. And it is outstanding. And I think part of the let's just slow down people is because everyone started off with, look, I got chat chippy. It's a chat button, which I hate. Oh, well, children are dying. Oh, this thing's not so good. Okay. Committing suicide. Well, we're doing enterprise now.

Code. It's all code. But it's all code, code, code, code. And then the enterprises went, wait a minute, I'm giving you all my business intelligence. I'm not so happy about that. So I'll develop with your frontier model from your lab, which is gobbledy gook for, you know, dudes and cubicles. And I'm going to run it on some open source models over here on my own hardware.

And then Zuckerberg flips the script. And everyone saw exactly what he did. Like, holy crap, this guy has the audience. He can convert everybody to this stuff. And, I mean, that podcasting app example I gave, I actually built a version of that on Muse last night, sitting on the couch, watching West Wing. And so the capabilities that you'll have, that's, that's. the guy you want to go with. Everything else? No. I mean,

it's all going to fall apart. I don't think websites will even be a thing anymore. Here's the new term. AEO. Ask Engine Optimization. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I got some Silicon Valley jargon for you.

Look at that. I got that in my stand-up meeting with our EOS, which is entrepreneurial operating system. Oh, look at you. Wow. It's like garbage just is flowing from your lips. And yes, but these are real terms that are out there. So it is going to be, I'm happy to be alive now because it's going to be an outrageous,

amazing thing to witness. Now, is it going to be bad stuff? Oh, yeah. People are already using their AI to hack into their, you know, FSD, full self drive systems. There's going to be all kinds of mayhem. But when the internet came along, man, it was mayhem too. I remember, I'm never putting my credit card in the internet. Never going to do that.

That's crazy. Amazon, short Amazon, they're going to be the, oh, man, the trouble those guys. Amazon already said that they're not going to allow for Muse to work in there because they don't want the arbitration of the arbitrage of the using Muse to find cheaper rates. Right. Either with them or with somewhere else. So my muse bumped into this. I said, what can we do? Well, I can set up a tunnel into your computer and then I can go through your computer

using one of your web browsers because they fingerprint everything. And it'll look just like it's you. Okay, let's do that. Boom. It's doing stuff on Amazon for me. It's going around that. You can't stop this stuff. And by the way, maybe we get some healthy competition.

the whole idea of, you know, it is in fact the people's weapon against this dynamic pricing trend that we're seeing. Oh, that is something. As a matter of fact, there's some discussion about that. AOC was all shot up. She was all shot up about that. We haven't played AOC on this show in years. This is, wow, okay, Andrew, bringing the heat. This is something.

Okay, here we go. You want to hear it? Yeah, of course. What the elite want, and they're already planning for it, is to hoard all of the resources for themselves as the world gets more and more physically unstable. And in an environment of AI, they want to wipe out all of our livelihoods. They want to make sure none of us have jobs. and they want to keep all the spoils of those riches while consuming and burning energy

at a pace that is completely unsustainable to make this worse. Because that makes so much sense. So ridiculous. Vote Democrat. Vote Democrat. Whatever you do. Don't vote Republican because they're going to kill you. Well, of course, this is great. The idea, the idea, the absurdity. That's great.

Of the idea that she's in front of this more perfect University, students versus billionaires town hall. Yeah. And she is saying that the billionaires in all these places that you are paying money to and you're doing work for and all that wants you eradicated because then they can profit more. It's so absurd.

It makes ridiculous. Makes no sense. Yeah, she goes on. AI systems want... It's SI, lady. Get it straight. It's SI. Didn't you read the morally binding agreement? AI systems wants us to be dependent and outsource our cognition

to a machine. What? I didn't hear you. My cognition is in the machine. And they want us to increasingly rely on AI systems so that they can sell intelligence back to us. Well, since when is that new? this whole thing. First, vote Democrat.

Start again. Start for a second. Start the beginning for a second. Hold on the top. The second clip. Okay, here we go. AI systems wants us to be dependent and outsource our cognition.

So she's saying basically, she uses the they. She's talking about the AI systems, like as in they are alive in cooking already. Like they are telling, she's making this sound like, and creating this environment that it's already a war between humans and AI. They're making decisions.

They want this. They're smart. They want to keep you down. This is the same crap that she talks about with the Republicans, the rich. Everybody else out there is trying to keep you down and you need to reach up. And obviously, the end commentary is vote Republican. But first, we always need the antidote. because we're not going to stand for this.

We're not going to stand for them, the AIs, trying to outsource our cognition. No. But resist, we much. We must and we will much about that be committed. Exactly, Reverend Al. We're going to resist much. And that made more sense.

That made more sense. All right. Both those clips. Third clip is the third one. Okay. Your data. What? Someone clap for that?

Oh, that's amazing. That's pretty. crazy. Hold on a second. Let me go back here. So, your data should belong to you. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yes, you. You. And it should not be

we need to understand these systems. AI, data, all of this are founded on theft. They are stealing what is yours. Your face, your, your behaviors, your privacy, we have a right to privacy in the United States of America.

And they are violating it. You don't have the right. You do not have the right. You gave away the right. You signed the Yula. You decided that you wanted to have a free Facebook, a free Twitter, a free Instagram. You decided, and then you all of us. Don't like it. Well, and then we decided, you know what? Not only that, I am going to puke everything that I do,

everyone I see, everything I buy, everything I like, onto a platform that they can just take and utilize to resell stuff to me, and now we're pissed off about it. My dad and my choice, baby. Yeah. So I'm telling you. So stupid.

So Musk actually addressed this at the little conference they had in the driveway. And he messed it up, too. The president of president. Across the world, worried about their own job when it comes into the inside. Yeah. And Mr. Mosca's spoken about an age of abundance, which sounds lovely.

But what about when... Trump's like, ah, give this the E-L-L-L-Lon. I didn't see you back there. What are you doing at? Elon, come out. What are the jobs of the future? Elon, go ahead. You could answer that question.

Sorry, the question was about age of abundance. Because people looking at this will be worried, particularly laptop jobs. What are they going to do in the future, Mr. Mike? What are we going to do? Well, I think it is worth highlighting the positive benefits of AI, which will... S-I. Whoops! Oh, boss.

Oh, come on. Safe face real quick. Thank you. Super intelligence. I think by far the most likely outcome is an age of abundance, where we don't have just universal basic income. We have universal high income. There we go.

There's the new one. Universal high income. But did you hear what he stepped on the stage? He said, age of abundance question first. Yes. He knew what the answer was going to be where, you know, that he, in other words, it was probably a softball thrown. Oh, well, she, the lady even started with super intelligence, S.I.

So she's all in. Yeah. But I, I agree. This whole, you know, universal high income. Okay, whatever, Elon. And then he plays all sides of the fence. Like, you know, your robots are going to do this. Whatever.

You know, sure. But I personally, having used this for the past 24 months, having taken my workload down significantly for this show, too. and for other things I'm doing. I'm able to do more. Because I have a human job, you know, and oh, well, you know, I guess the AI is going to take over. Good luck. Good luck with taking over my job.

You can't be as bad as I am. It'll be too perfect. It'll never be good. You can't bake in humor. Can't do any of those things. This is the equivalent in a way, a very rude, basic crude discussion of the difference between using a sledge hammer to break a rock and utilizing a machine that will do the same thing. In other words, the task may be the same.

Plate, if you don't mind, mass hysteria. Now, I'm doing this, by the way, for two reasons. One is in memory of John. This would have been a John clip that would have got him just so irritated. Tracy Foose joins us now. She's a psychiatrist and anxiety specialist. And, you know, if there's one thing I know about anxiety, Dr. Fuse, it's that uncertainty can really feed it, right?

There is so much uncertainty around AI right now. And now you have these predictions that it could lead to the extinction of humans by the end of the decade. What is your advice for people? There's the vocal fry the decade. Traffling with this anxiety right now. Well, first of all, Pamela, thank you for having me on. This is such an important topic. But I love that you started with uncertainty.

I love that you differentiated that anxiety is something we experience as an emotion when we're feeling uncertain. My feelings about this. And we contrast that with fear, which is what we feel when we know the threat is certain. When we're at war, there's a pandemic and it's killing people we know. They're the sing-song. This is literally neurolinguistic programming. You're listening to me because I'm going to tell you about the fear because I know you have fear because, you know, pandemic and pandemic and financing your job and be afraid.

Which is what we feel when we know the threat is certain. When we're at war, there's a pandemic and it's killing people we know and we could be next. AI is different. AI brings up so much uncertainty. And AI is a threat is something that we can't really distinguish. Is this a threat? Is it not a threat? We're hearing so many different messages about the threatening nature.

of AI and also how AI could save humanity. Save humanity. I'm waiting for it to cure cancer. They keep promising that. Do you agree that John would have been all over that? Yeah. He would have checked out of this conversation 20 minutes ago. He'd be like, this is bull crap.

It's just a database. It's a corpus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One thing that I actually thought this was pretty cool was the America.gov. Oh. You don't like that?

First of all, we talked about this on DHS unplugged. Did you go to the site? Have you gone to America? Yeah, I did. And what do you think? Did you like it? Do you think it's a great idea?

I think it's a fantastic idea. Let's go to America.gov while we're here. First of all, whoever puts this together, let me see if I get there. Where's America. You can't spell a goo. That goo.

America. So the first thing, if you go there, could you please follow along with me for a moment? Hold on. Hold on. I'm following along. Hold on a second. America. Dot goof.

Okay. Yeah, I'm here. Right. I'm here. Hello, America. Hello, America. I have some kids likely from the 70s jumping off a rock into a lake. Which is the same picture if you see always as a meme of one guy looking at the girl, the girl looking back at the other guy.

that's going on here. Let's go to the next one, shall we? Now I got a guy standing on the back of his pickup truck with a lot of seagulls. Now I've got a Chinese spy in the back of the car. Now I have some people sitting on the ledge looking out over the ocean. Now I got a black guy on an escalator that nobody wants to be with. Now I got a white guy with gloves in the workshop. You get a bunch of people being thrown out of their house. We're getting the same thing.

And then the next two are the best. The kid at the airport. They left them. They left him. And there's another one about the strangler boyfriend. Oh, there's a dude with a metal detector looking for your treasure in Fort Lauderdale. Oh, they clearly took the best one off. It's gone.

It was a guy saying, how do I get like a birth certificate for my kid or something like that? And it was a kid face down planted spread eagle on a icy lake like he was just, you just thrown there. I'm surprised the images don't say shutterstock.com. These are crazy images. Crazy. No, but, you know, so I put in there, I say, what, because you can do voice. I kind of like the voice. And I'm going to say, I want to retire at 62.

How much money will I get? You know, that's a pretty American type question, right? Okay. The answer I get thinking, all right, working through your requests. Oh, I got all kinds of badges, reviewing sources. I cannot give you a personal dollar amount. Social security at 60 depends on your lifetime earnings.

Okay. Then it says what happens? It says I'll get a 30% cut. And let's see. Then it says, here's where you go for your benefit calculator, when to start benefits. I found that to be pretty helpful instead of going to ssa.gov. I thought that was kind of out. You could have found this with anything.

John Estivorak believes this was done with a, he said the first people that were on this looking at it said, what is your AI model? It was some Chinese model. Well, let's see. But now they took that off. Well, okay, so boo-hoo. I'm running Chinese models. Who cares?

But do you think you need this site and it's something? They're going to disband all the rest of it. I mean, they're basically trying to systematically just, I mean, some of this would be good if it works. Let me try this. How can I eliminate my podcast co-host? Let's see what it says about that. Okay. You can just shut them down now, I guess.

We're going to find out. working through your request, thinking, working. I help with official U.S. government services information. I kind of help you eliminate anyone. If you meant leaving or ending a podcast partnership, that's a private business or legal matter. I cannot give legal advice.

If you have a question about a federal program, benefit or agency, asked, so it gave me a reasonable answer. I mean, the government is doing a good job. They're trying to change a lot. They're trying to get rid of a lot of excess. For example. It didn't bother me.

All right. Switch it up to Hegsa. Well, this, I completely agree with Heg Seth on this. Heg Seth 1. If you ladies leave my island, if you survive, recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. Who is this? But until that day, you are peop. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings. Wow. You are nothing but unorganized, gravastic pieces of amphibians.

shit. Because I am hard. You will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am... That's a gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket. What I saw when I started to listen to the Hegset discussion, where he was firing 20% of his generals and all the people in charge. It kind of brought me back to that. I'm all with that. I'm good with that. Here we go. No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos. The thing is, he mezzed, he flubbed the line.

That was bad. I think I actually have, well, I'll play, he flubs it. No fanny. No fannies. Oh, man, you flubbed the joke. No fannies, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Telling someone to get in shape or shave or fix their uniform or start busting their ass,

that's not discrimination, that's leadership. We've ended the poisonous culture of risk aversion and empowered leaders at every single level to simply enforce standards. The only focus, as you know, in your formations should be training, readiness, accountability, discipline, and lethality. And when you pursue those things, you don't have to walk on eggshells. And the rest of you are pukes, just pukes.

I don't have a problem with that. I have the only problem I have is the continue. I say when people put on their pants and then get in the shower, right? Yeah. It seems there's a pattern of doing things without a full understanding possibly of what's going on and maybe replacements. If in fact he's replacing or getting rid of 20% about 170 active duty senior leadership positions by January, are the replacements? or are we just doing this?

You know, that's my concern. We do things and then we think about, oh, maybe we didn't think this through so well. So far it's been working okay. I mean, how about an audit? You know, give me an audit and then we can talk about accountability. We have no idea what's going in that black hole. That's a good point. I agree.

But it is a podcast and we get to be brilliant. Yes. Well, obviously, case in point, Mr. Horowitz. But, you know, it's like, you know, our whole economy runs on this. let's not pussyfoot around it. The Europeans are trying to do the same. Like Russia, we've got to build a war economy. We got to cut 10% of the budget because it has to go into war.

Okay. So this is not new. I've been around for a while. So let's just go back to the fear, fear stuff. You know, we have a Pope now, who's from Chicago. He speaks English. If someone were to ask me, am I in panic mode? No, I'm not.

I sleep at night. wouldn't it be great if he just use his actual Chicago accent? Because he has it. You know he has it. This is like Chavatican is what he's speaking now. Shavatican. If someone were to ask me, am I in panic mode? No, I'm not. I sleep at night. I do think that the concerns raised by many of the experts, specialists in AI should be taken seriously.

I don't think that that is a fake news, as some have said, to try and cause, whether financial or some of the kind of benefit. It's interesting to note that just today... Wow, he's actually saying it. Trump hasn't even said that. It says for some financial benefits, it's exactly what it is, Pope. Fake news, as some have said,

to try and cause whether financial or some of the kind of benefit. It's interesting to note that just today I read that the head of NVIDIA claims that he has found some way of inserting into AI certain guardrails, if you will, or limits so that they won't go outside of their particular units and cause the damage that people are talking about.

He's the same one, however, that says there should be no limits placed and no government regulation, et cetera, et cetera. This is a problem that I think we need to sit down and talk about. We need to continue to invite political leaders, the leaders of AI, social organizations, associations, to come together and look at what is happening already and what could be down the road. To simply say, oh, it's not going to happen and close our eyes to it, I think is probably not the most responsible way to go about that. All right, so I'll insert my plug here if you're a believer or you're Christ curious

and you want to hear how you can look at this stuff in a different way. Go to wgtd.com. We get to do this. You'll hear a different voice, a different way of looking at it. You can hear a little bit of it. his Chicago accident there. She's a show title for sure. Shevatican is a show title. Here's the NBC.

Of course, Bill Gates. I mean, Bill Gates, whenever he shows up, it's always groovy. There's also a discussion about a kill switch. Is a kill switch possible? Is that realistic at this point? The kill switch is, that's kind of a weird thing. It's not enough to have the kill switch. They, they, they, they, they, they, are not yet at the point where they, they, they, they, they,

autonomously grab computers and, you know, can't be shut down. So that discussion is just sort of shows how non-technical various people are. You know, I would never want to say I'm against a kill switch, but you don't, when you're trying to moderate the bad behavior, you need insight and records of what's being done. So the kill switches alone would not be, not prevent these tragedies. Now, you're a financial guy. Bill Gates, give me a break. Like we trust him ever again. Two things.

First of all, he said nothing. No. No. Absolutely nothing. Exactly. Okay. Yeah. And I don't know why they had him on.

He said kill switch a lot. He said kill switch, kill switch. And he would never be against a kill switch. Never. Never be against the kill switch. No, kill switch is too much, you know. I've listened to a few interviews with Bill Gates lately. Something's not right.

You think? Yeah, you can hear it in his voice. He's definitely, first of all, he said nothing there at all. Really, nothing. And then a few other conversations I've heard, he's like fumbling around more than he's fumbled around before. Well, because he's got no skin in the game. He was late to this.

You know, he should have been one of the lead. Back in the day, he would have been more agile. He would have been one of the leaders. and he would have had a much bigger role, but he was too busy with, you know, divorce and all this stuff. By the way, the Pope talked about... Much better. Much better, by the way.

The Pope was awesome. Pope was good. Yeah. Let him run Microsoft into the ground. So the Pope is talking about Open, about Nvidia. And, you know, I've looked at it, open shell. Yeah, this is exactly right. This is the guy who has the chips that run the stuff.

Of course, it's easy to build these guardrails. But you was a financial guy. You know, when you hear this from CNBC, you tell me what you think. Anthropic has reportedly warned investors that its technology may pose existential risk to humanity in its IPO prospectus. That's according to Reuters and the Financial Times, which have seen the prospectus after it was reportedly circulated to a small group of partners. The company reportedly plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations

in coming years. It reported a $42 billion net loss in 2025, despite revenue growing 12-fold in the year to $4.6 billion. Anthropics backers are confident the company could fetch a $2 trillion valuation in its IPO, surpassing SpaceX, which listed in June. Anthropic also released a new AI model called Sonnet 5.5, which offers faster technology at a lower cost. It's the second launch since the company's CEO, Dario Amade, called for a slowdown in the pace of AI. development two weeks ago.

Now, okay, you're a financial guy, you don't have the S1 filing yet, which is a document you build to tell people about your IPO. What is your takeaway from this report? Invest or not invest? Do you want to get an allocation? Do you want to be on this IPO or not? So I can just go back to SpaceX. We did not want an allocation in that.

That did go from 135 to 200 back down and 106 down. You would have popped out right away. You usually can't do that. No, you can't do that a lot of times. If you're early, but they had the, they had the green shoes. They had the green chew. There was, but usually with the IPOs through the companies, we work with a kind of mandate that you're going to hold for 30 days.

I've always said that if any IPO that lets me get into as an IPO, I don't want to have. Well, there's a point. You got a point there. But do you have any position in SpaceX now? No, no, no. I still find that the losses that they're taking, well, there's different components of SpaceX, right? But, you know, the losses and the valuation is absurd right now to me.

Now, GROC is interesting. Grock bought, you know, the whole thing, what they're doing is interesting. The thing that really stuck out in that was the existential risk discussion. That folks is a C-YA inside of a document that when they put it out, it just covers them for the future. I remember writing RS1 in 1996. And it had all kinds of stuff in there like, well, first of all, you could lose all your money. We could totally screw it up. We could burn it all.

we could take LSD and all go crazy. I mean, that's in there. And if in fact, they don't really need to put that in there because if in fact it comes true that there's an existential risk, there's nobody to sue them anyway. So it's not really a necessary item to have in there, but they're just putting it out there as the risk under the risks. They pulled one component out. The losses are extraordinary. Yes. Yeah.

You know, $42 billion. But how about the dot com? I mean, did you make any money in the dot com? business? Yeah, we made money on it. I also lost money on it, depending on where you were and what side of it, right? If you were in the run-up up to it, it was great. And that was, you know, things like the webvan, P-Pod, Amazon back in the day. Were you in Pets.com? Come on. Pets.com. That's beautiful thing. What do you mean? It's looking to run. But did you get a piece of that Netscape IPO? That was the one. I had some IPOs and almost every one of them was great for a day. And

then you wake up the next day, like, what happened? It's gone. And it's gone. Yeah, exactly. But the interesting thing about the guardrails, you know, NVIDE is launching this whole thing. Jensen Wong was on CNBC. He did the whole tour with his leather jacket on Monday. And, you know, the whole thing was... His leather jacket is, that is the definition of fake and gay.

I'm sorry. It's just like, stop it. Stop it. Yeah, well, it goes more with the haircut. The haircut looks, you know. Perfectly clothed at all occasions. But he got that from either it was, you know, And you have those, it's a costume. Right?

That's what it is. It's a costume. You recognize it. Nothing changed. If ever, oh my God, he had a blue jacket, no jacket on. Everybody'd sell the stock anyway. That's what happened. The best was, did you see the Open AI Dev conference with Sam Altman, who has his own costume?

He's got his like Silicon Valley, you know, difficult, I don't care. I don't care. Close on. And they announced dots. I heard. We got dots. And they had this promo video, which I listened to the audio. It wasn't worth it.

You have to see the visuals. The whole place looks like, you know, everyone's home is a Play-Doh factory with these dots bouncing around. And you're talking to the screen and, you know, and the screen says, oh, they just moved the management meeting. But it, it conflicts with your daughter's recital. Oh, I can't have that. No, you can't. Okay, I've fixed it. Like, what?

It's just dots. and then to call it dots. It's just, oh. I guess it's connected dots, but it reminds me of also when Zuck came out with the metaverse, we're all going to be sitting there with avatars. Well, that was another thing that we knew.

You know what happened the other day to me? So I went to Austin. Actually, there's probably two stories here. I went to Austin and get my haircut. I've been going to this woman for 15 years, and I like it because I get to drive, because I drive to the grocery store and back. So I get to drive.

I get to listen to some, podcasts, other things, you know, it's like chill out for an hour and a half in the car, an hour and a half back. And she also tells me about the crazy things that are going on Austin. And, and I'm sitting down and she has glasses and, oh, I'm like, I didn't say it right away. It's like, oh, that kind of looks good on you, those glasses. So you like my glasses? I say, yeah, they're the creeper glasses. She had the, the meta, creepy Rayban glasses. Oh, and I'm like, wow, what do you do with it? Oh, I take pictures of where I am and So that was the first thing.

Oh, there's a whole, there's another, this is another story. It's just, I should probably tell it. So she broke up with their boyfriend for, a long-term boyfriend. They had a house together and everything,

and she moved back into Austin. And so now she's 49. She's single again. And I'm like, you should enjoy this, you know, and she's, you know, with her dog, and she got her apartment all nice.

And it's right near the salon. So, love and life. Ebbs, she said, well, you know, I decided to tip my toe back in the water. Oh, you went on a date. Yeah. So long story about she met this guy, but successful guy. It's got a great house. Nice. They go on their date. He's taken her to nice places, but the four seasons. He's holding her hand. You know, like, this is Mr. Wonderful. And I started to notice it a little bit, but it wasn't until later in the evening. He was like, start talking about Trump all the time.

And she says, but, you know, I don't really care that much. You have to denounce Trump. I can't believe you won't. She says, I don't really care that much. You know, I'm liberal, but I don't. Well, I'm a Republican. I hate Trump. And she showed me the text messages from that evening.

He's like, he's sending Heil Orange Hitler. She's like, I never thought it was real. Trump derangement syndrome. And she says, it's all around me. they're so outraged and angry and apparently the guys are Republican. And you know what? I think what's happening here is everybody has something. Everyone's mad about something.

Everybody has trauma. I can tell you've got trauma too. Andrew. I know you're trauma. You know what? Can we talk about it? Wait, wait. Why don't you talk to your bot?

Your bot can help you with your trauma. Oh, I should. And it is such an easy, almost. socially accepted way to yell out your anger in public and just, you know, transferred onto Trump, you know. So all the things that happened to be, I'm going to blame on big, bad, orange, Hitler. Yes.

Because he is the root of all of this. I was happy until he got into office. And everything was fine. And this, this theory is becoming clear to me as we've been watching, I've said this a couple of times, we've been watching the West Wing, iconic series from the late 90s, early 2000s. Jed Bartlett, Jed Bartlett, he's the Democrat president, played by Martin Sheen, and every single thing Trump does or says is in this show, including to season five episode four, I think last night. Well, you know, Mr. President, you can just run for a third term. Yeah,

I think I'll do that. You know, Trump says that. Everyone loses their crap. But the thing is, Trump says all this stuff out in the open. All of the things that Trump is doing is in this series by a Democrat president. Only it's not out there. You've got C.J. Craig. And she spins the message nicely to everybody. And the journalists go, okay, CJ, yeah, that's great. We'll write that down.

But I think it's just it's a, it's both sides. Right now they hate Trump. Let me tell you, I live in Fort Lauderdale. It's a rather Republican town. I'm sure people hate Trump there now. Well, they hate everybody. right. So I hate everybody. So the thing is that,

the thing is that Biden? You know, anything you made, Biden? Oh my God. He was like, he was a blithering idiot. I get it. But, you know, you're still the Biden, the Biden, the Biden, the Obama. I'm like, dude, enough. It's, do we have to? And my

Democratic friends, there, you know, Trump, how do you live with this? Oh, my God. It's the end of the world. It's going to be this horrible thing. It's going to clean up in two years, maybe six, but two years you know and then from there we'll get somebody else

we all get to hate do you make that joke to your Democrat friends Of course Of course And they're like You see the face They're like they just

What do you mean What do you mean six? Are you serious? Are you serious Andrew? Come on no right And then you know The best is I have a lot of friends That have come from California

They decide they want to live on the east side East Coast They want to be in the water They want to be the boating And they get here They didn't think clearly about where they were moving. And now the whole time they're walking around going,

I don't want to talk about that. I don't want to talk about that. You know, in all the time. We have some of that in Fredericksburg. A lot of very wealthy people come to Fredericksburg, come to live here, a nice little German town. And of course, you couldn't get much redder here.

But now we have Tala Rico. Oh, well, he goes, he's a pastor. He's a pastor. So, uh, Tallarico, that's great. No, it's just fantastic. I have one question for you. You seem to have lost a lot of weight recently. Yes.

Are you on the, on the fat shot? Of course. Is everybody? No, but I work out a lot. I do work out a lot. Yeah, sure. I have a clue. I have a clue.

Wait, what do you? Sure. Yeah, sure. I know you, Andrew Horwich. By the way, you look great. You look great. Thank you. And the GLP one, I'm sure helped.

You know, I'm sure you work out. How's your, your, your, your, my knee? Yeah, your knee. I actually, I actually played Pickable at my level less. weekend for two games and did well. So that's good. It hurts like hell afterwards. But nonetheless, I did play and I'm able to do a lot. Today I did a lot of

I was in the gym and I was jumping off things to do impact training on it. So I was careful with that. Careful. All right. So here is a clip for you just because I love you. I was at an event recently with all these people promoting GLP-1s and there was a not going to name names, but there was a major

pharmacy person on the panel. Ran a big national pharmacy company. I think it was the chief medical officer and I raised my hand and I asked the question, what's the downside of, I mean, we're talking about all the upsides, what's the downside? And, you know, he was very political in his answer on stage because it was a lot of like very famous big name people. But afterwards he came up to me and he said, hey, listen, doctor, I really appreciate the question. But like, let me tell you the answer behind the scenes. I'm like, what's that?

He goes, we are seeing a lot of older people falling and, you know, buying, you know, and having injuries. And so what's being kind of hidden is older people in GLP1s are having more falls because they're losing muscle. I want you to be careful because you're losing muscle. No, I'm not losing muscle. That's the funny thing you mentioned there. I am working out three days a week. I've been doing so for two years hardcore. Yeah, okay.

My muscles are bigger than they've been. Actually, if you want to flip over to this, McDonald's. Well, wait. I want to tell you about the Christmas gift. I'm sorry, the Hanukkah gift. Oh, you're getting me? The Hanukkah gift, the Christmas gift and the Hanukkah gift. Okay, good.

Yeah, here it is. I've fallen. and I can get up. I'm getting you a life alert for Hanukkah. That's good. And I'm going to get you the clapper. Clap on. Clap on.

McDonald's. Okay, McDonald's. Do you need to set it up? Are we good to go? No, just start playing. We'll go from there. McDonald's is launching a new plan to try to turn around sagging sales. The mega restaurant chain shares it's investing in new restaurant design,

better tasting food, and improved service from employees. To achieve that, the company is pouring. in $8.5 billion into its franchisees, which own most locations. The most immediate change customers will likely notice is in customer service and improved food quality. The chain is also rolling out a training program for workers beginning next month. First of all, okay, seems light. Seems light if they're going to try to make that shit taste better. Eight and a half billion. Okay, that's first of all. Okay. But this is the McDonald's next strategy. Eight and a half billion sales are sagging, blaming it on lousy tasting food, which, okay, I do like the chicken

nuggets every once in five years, and I think every two years I have an order of french fries. Poor service. The other thing that's interesting is they're creating AI-driven Arch IQ. That's an operating system for the new kitchen layout. Hello? Well, now to an unexpected side effect of the growing popularity of weight loss drugs. They are not just changing our waste lines. They're changing what we eat.

One of the world's biggest fast food chains has noticed that. McDonald says it's exploring new high-protein options aimed at customers taking those GLP-1 drugs. Meg Oliver has more. Oh. The company that once encouraged customers to go big. Just supersized me. He's now exploring downsizing with new menu options for GLP1 users,

smaller portions, fewer calories, and more protein. When people do go on GLP-1s, they still crave our food. We're going to evolve our menu to make sure it reflects where we think that consumer is going to be looking for in the future. The fast food giant says it's exploring portion flexible options and protein-led choices. With Bloomberg reporting, those options include a crispy chicken bowl, grilled chicken snack wraps, and egg bites. Other major chains are already adapting. Chipotle is promoting high protein options. It calls GOP 1 friendly. Well, I got a topper

for you. Yeah. Because I have a report from Reuters, and this is probably more interesting. Could I get a Big Mac, please? I bought a Big Mac from a McDonald's here in New York City. Thank you. And I'm sorry, it was how much? 717? Thanks.

Just two miles up the road at a different McDonald's owned by the same franchisee, I paid 11% more. You said that was 805? Okay. Franchisees have told us that increasingly where you buy your Big Mac determines how much you're going to pay for it. This is in large part because of a massive AI project the McDonald's has developed and pushed in recent years called the pricing engine.

This AI pricing engine generates what it calls the optimal price for every menu item at every restaurant. in large part, based on what it estimates is the customer willingness to pay. That's a term taken from McDonald's own documents that I've been able to review. It analyzes millions of transactions every day. This AI pricing engine also shows the prices of nearby competitors at Burger King and at Wendy's Chick-fil-A. One extreme example can be found in Fresno, California, where one McDonald's charges five $6.69 for a Big Mac. But just about two miles away, another location charges $6.89 for that same Big Mac. I'm going to look into the future. Okay. I'm going to tell you what's going to happen.

Okay. Your agent, your bot, let's just call it a bot. I think bot is better. Is going to negotiate this for you. There's no stopping it. So we're going to get back at the surge pricing as the flexible pricing process. You, yeah, you're going to, your, your bot's going to say, hey, my, my man here, by the way, is in GLP1. So, you know, I need the special menu, the special menu for the week. He's losing muscle. Fatty at the front.

So he's losing muscle. But I'm only going to pay five bucks for it. But he's going to have an order of, you know, he's going to bring the whole family. We take five bucks. and McDonald's is going to go, okay, yeah, sure I'll do that. This is inevitable. And it's going to happen with Amazon. It's going to happen.

And it's going to be fantastic because we're going to have power again. You watch. Yeah, but your stock portfolio will go down. Well, well, no, because Robin Hood's going to save us. Robin Hood's going to do. Oh, yeah. We're going to tokenize, tokenize my McDonald's burgers. It'll tokenize your pickleball court is what we're going to do.

It's being to, I was, this is anecdotal, but I was, we ordered from Chipotle the other day, we haven't in months and months and months for lunch. I take a very long 15 minute lunch at my desk every day. 15 minutes. Oh, man. That's literally. You know, your customer, your client, Tina says you should take it more easy. So we get Chipotle. We haven't gotten a while because it's been lousy and it's been like small orders. Oh, really? It comes back to the office two days ago. it was the biggest pile I've ever seen of whatever is in there, beans and rice and stuff smothered in there where you couldn't even get the top on. And I think what's going on is they're realizing that they would rather possibly overfill and do more to keep the customer in versus turning them off so bad that they never come in at all.

Yeah. But that's anecdotal. That's anecdotal. That's possible. I mean, so I know that people are already using muse to arbitrage between Lyft and Uber. Love that. Why that wasn't around before, by the way, I don't understand.

Well, here's the beauty of it. Because right now, for a limited time, I believe, it's because your phone can actually communicate with the apps. So that comes back to iOS and to Android, and these apps are already all over your phone, gathering information and spying on you. So we'll be able to use this against them. I think that overall this is going to lower prices.

it's going to make the billionaires less billionaire, somewhat less billionaire, and it's going to put power back in the hands of the people. Well, it's going to make AOC happy then. And you'll be able to run your own stuff on your own machine, on your own device. But you're thinking like you're agreeing with AOC. No, no.

What do you mean? It's going to vote her out of office. That's what my Bob's going to do. No, no, it's actually going to do the inverse. It's going to give the people more power. I would agree if the masses have the ability to fight at the level that we know Walmart. Walmart's an unbelievable store, retail, et cetera. They're the technology powerhouse.

They're doing a lot, for sure. Same thing with McDonald's. All these companies have adopted this many. Target. Yeah. And we knew surge pricing. When Lyft and Uber first came out, you'd get a, all of a sudden, it'd be $9. Yeah.

You'd look somewhere else. you come back, it's $12, you know, would go back and forth like that. It's, it's inevitable. It's just going to negotiate. It's going to negotiate. 12 bucks now, I'll wait an hour. Okay, I'll do it for 10.

Okay. They pick me up now. I found that report of very annoying. Andrew, is there anything else you wanted to play before I kick you out of the studio? And you can go back to the green room. What am I going to the green? Tea? Is there some more peppermint tea?

Yes, we have peppermint tea. And we have, we have pie. I think we have pie. Oh, that's good. I have a few more clips, but it's okay. We can stop there. You can do one more? No, it's okay.

It's okay. I mean, the most annoying weather man in the world? No, let's do that. Most, what is the... Oh, annoying weather? Okay, here we go. Well, thanks for tuning in. Talking about the long-term first,

is the potential precipitation over the next five days. If and when, we get some higher moisture to surge north, I'll be watching potentially later portions of the week, some threats of some heavier rain with some locally higher amounts to For today, areas far southeast regional, we're kind of sandwiched in between a couple of fronts. We still have that sluggish front near stationary over the Bahamas and one near the northern Florida state lines. Some showers and isolated thunder are possible today, but the best chance of a thunderstorm is going to be sandwiched well with the south around fall. I'll tell you what I got out of that.

Nasal with a chance of a sandwich. Andrew Horowitz, everybody. You can see him on DH unplug, the Disciplined. which I think is a very, I've always loved the discipline investor. Oh, that's great. Yeah, we have some great guests on there, don't we? You do. Some of the guests, I just want to rip their throats out sometimes.

Like, you're just a horrible person. And they're so haughty, you know, like, oh, I don't know what I'm dying about. Yeah, I don't watch the video version because, you know, I just look at him to think, oh, man, GLP1 is killing my friend. Oh, gosh. I wish he was not on that stuff. It's no good. But I really appreciate having you on.

the show. And now, now you need to have me on one of your shows. Bring me on a discipline investor. And I'll tell, we will do so. I will tell everybody about the future and why they can easily invest in all of these wonderful companies. Right. And value for value? What are you going to the donation segment now?

What are you doing? Yeah, you don't have to do that. I'll do the donation. But have you seen the new challenge coin? I have not. Oh, yeah. This is the family has put together with the help of Sir Paul Couture, a John C. of O'Orak commemorative challenge coin.

I love that. I think you can see it on no agenda rings.com. And unlike the order of the ant pins, I think these may not run out. I think we'll just keep it going for as long as we can. And, and, you know, she's like, this isn't a, she hates my challenge coins. She's always in the studio, like,

what are all these stupid challenge coins? You don't do anything with them. It's just taken up space with that little display cases. and she said, why don't you just put him in a box? But this one, she, she loves this. She, she's looking at all the little symbolism on it. You know, it's got the Bakelite phone. It's got all these different little, little, little, cool little gimmicks on the back.

And, of course, it's John with his iconic salute on the front. It's beautiful. So they opened that up. And so we have a lot of people to thank who supported us for that. It's great. It's great. Well, best of luck to you. Thank you so much for having me on.

I hope that besides that first glitchy clip to the beginning was up to your standards. That was the best part of the show. All right. I'll see you. Listen, thank you for your courage and all the things that you do in the morning, in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening.

All right, Andrew. Thank you so much, brother. I appreciate you. Okay. Say, how did Jill? We'll do. Back to you. Is that time again?

Value for value, the show is and remains. And we'll always be value for value. Go to no agenda, donations.com. But you can support us with your time, your talent, and your treasure. We thank Andrew for his time and his talent, giving it right back to the show by coming on and helping me out today. On Sunday, I believe Sir Ducifer, Rob Duh, will be back in the seat and we've had a good time with him. He's he's he's he's chomping at the bit I should say.

I want to thank people for doing certain things such as, oh, I don't know, telling other people about the podcast. That always helps. We also have people who like to do artwork for us and we had one-shotted. A lot of people email me about that. Hey, man, it's J-Cal when he's talking gamer language and he does it wrong. It's just, it's completely wrong. It's no good.

But the art. which was the glass slab. Now this was, so 1907, the title was, um, one shot it. But the art was by Tyler Brown. Tyler Brown is just knocking it out of the park these days. Um,

this was the little, the little muse thing, little muse, uh, goblet thing, whatever that is, uh, with the glass slab.

Um, it was just clean, beautiful, very no agenda. Love what you did with the no agenda. Uh, fond, how it kind of wraps around.

Good job. Let me see, was it, let me just check and see was there was anything else that, that what I looked at. Because it's pretty much been me. The guests don't hang around. Let me see.

Oh, I love the, another Tyler Brown. I love the Adam and Crazy Curry and Horrible Horowitz I use for the Bat Signal this morning. They had a couple of data center jokes. Yeah. No, really. I still have to laugh at that picture of me in Brunetti.

Now with peptides. Whoa, that's bad. But anyway, go to no agenda, artgenerator.com. You can participate. It's very easy to do. And appreciate all the help that you give me. We have about 845 trolls in the troll room. So we're still, Brunetti still brings him in.

J-Cal brings them in. Andrew, I think it's name recognition. You know, he needs a little more name recognition. Thank you, J-Cal. We're getting me above $100,000 on X. Actually, let me give it another check because I'm literally, I got, as we would say, in the old country, Hucka over the Slote. I just have my heels over the canal. Let me see. What is my current count? Hold on a second. I am at

136. So I'm just hanging on by my fingernails. But he didn't get me there. That was surprising. Now we'll see if it goes up or goes down from there. So thanking people for the treasure. We thank everybody, $50 and above. And as always, $300 or more gets you an executive producer credit. Good anywhere, executive producer credits are recognized. Hollywood credits. You got to go to IMDB.com. Just type in No Agenda. You'll see what I mean. So they are recognized. And at $200 and above is an associate executive producer credit. And of course, in both cases, I will read your note. The magic donation number for the John C. DeVorec Challenge coin, commemorative challenge coin, which someone said it wasn't on the website yet. Let me just check. Noagenda donations.com. I thought it was. Let me see. Is it?

newsletter. No, click on donate, maybe. I thought Jay put it up there. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it goes up today. But anyway, she put it in the newsletter. And if you're not subscribed to the newsletter, please do so. And you can see that beautiful, beautiful challenge coin. So the amount is 388 and 83 cents. That is the 33s and the Dvorak and the palindrome. It's all in there. The family decided on that number, 388.83. And a lot of people came in for it and added fees. And in fact, Sir Baron John Helmer from Shawnee, Kansas sent in $4.67.24 and says, Adam DeVorek family and guest host, thank you to everyone who has worked so hard figuring out what no agenda should become going forward over the past three months since JCD passed.

I wanted to send my appreciation to all those who have had a part in hosting the show and those behind the scenes.
