This is no agenda. We've got votorama T we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill countountry here in FEMA Reion number six. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've discovered the Antichrist. It's the iPhone. I'm John C. D Boreck ning. Oh, a couple observations right off the top here. One. You're coming to us from Northern Silicon Valley whichich means you're back home Yeah, I'm at the house Excellent. There's still work banging away back there working on the place. Well, what do we mean banging? What happens? Why do you why? they're re the They're redoing the bedroom. There's a bunch of work being done on the house Yeah. I'm making sure they don't wreck the place. That's why I'm here. Is they they Mimi or does she have a crew? Does she have a crew of Mexic illegal immigrants It varies Yeah So what do they do? Well, first of all Welcome back. Good to have you back home That's good news. Second of all Are we close to being able to see your studio? Well, you're talking about the challenge Yes for people who go to the new Instagram No Agenda account, which is No agenda podcast the off official no agenda account on Instagram And once again getst to five thousand, we take a picture of the studio How close are we? I'm sorry, I don't I don't keep up with the Insta I think we're around three three thousand Wow, that went pretty fast. Shouldn't we get should be like a trending somewhere if we get that many followers and one to go? Do we get it I know, we're not. Oh those guys Th those guys are, not those guys just don't don't no, no, no no, you don't, you know, it's a fake anyway. so why put them on it. It's all fake And what's this with the anntichrist iPhone? I mean, is this? I'm determined that the iPhone is the Antichrist Why not Well it as possible I mean, I see I'm floating around. I'm seeing Im telling you like yesterday was went to the store and there's like people getting out of their car. they're looking at the phone as they get out, stumble out, walking into the store, always eyes on the phone. I don't know how people can navigate. I mean used you remember the early days of these phones we were banging into holes and walk, you know over curbs and falling in manholes. Yeah, sure. They're not doing that. There's this new radar or some sense that phone has kept them from banging into stuff. You know So they go ahead. Walking around with the phone and the same person comes out still looking at the phone. What is on the phone? I don't think it's the antichrist. I think it's a national security issue We are a vulnerable. think the anti crris is a national security interest issue. Okaykay, a fair point fair point. It's just these I mean, we are very vulnerable as a country When we have robots, you know, NPCs just roaming around looking at their phones That is a national security issue. you spotted a couup number years ago. Oh, year that was ten, ten years ago, at least even You spotted the fact that people were walking around with the phone in their hand. Yeah. You know, women mostly. But now men too, men and women walking around with the phone in their hand. All the time Yeah Yeah, you know, we forget We forget that this is happening. We kind of got used to it You know, it's so normal now I mean, on Mondays I go play chess with this guy. And so that means I park on Main Street and I get out Is this in the park? No, I park on Main. No, know you've parked a car. yeah, but I'm saying is it in the park outside? No Is a black guy, an old black guy? No. It's inside a Java ranch You know, your favorite Java ranch, It's with Willie. That's why I play with Willie. And he was not a black guy. And u I just walk as I have I have to cross two streets To traffic lights. And all you see is people walking with their phones, looking at their phones It's everywhere. It's rampant. and we've kind of gotten used to it. It's a national security issue. And yes, if it is the antrist, but is it only the iPhone or is Android also the antichrist Well obviously' the smart phone in general Yeah. because there I see people looking at They they all operate the same. people are looking at them, they're carrying them around. It's the same, you know, no, it's all the phones, all the smartphones What are we gonna to do with it? Everything but a flip phone. And I'm not even so sure about that. Yeah. Well you know, I had to give up on the flip phone because they made it impossible to communicate. If you don't have RCS, then you can't communicate with the antichrist people on the iPhone. Yeah, but it's not people communicating with each other so much as they're just Well, no, I in time. No, I understand what you're saying If you have a flip phone, it used to be doable when everything was still kind of over. u SMS or You know, It's like you had MMS rememember this protocol? MS. So someone will send out a video to me and it comes in like. you know, like a little postage stamp because you can't see that because everyone's doing it over IP. All the iPhones and the iPhones got connected to the to the Android with RCS And you know, it was really Apple that screwed all this up They had their own little protocol And then, you know, you couldn't participate. You can't be in a text group anymore. And if it actually worked, then people yell at you. Who is the green bubble? Wh's the green bubble Who's ruining my? Who's ruuling my text group Yeah, that's Mina. So How's that voting going in California Oh, I do have a clip Oh, please what's your clip? Yeah we got Stella, one of our podcast friends, Stella, the Stella show andes talks about the cal voting situation. U A atttorney Billa Saleee says his office has multiple election fraud investigations now underway in coordination with the FBI as California officials are still counting the ballots from this week's primary and it could go on for weeks and weeks and weeks. What is your reaction to this because I know you're following it very closely. I mean, this is your lane. This is what you do It is about time that all eyes are on California's election process. And we're looking at thirty seven days to get counted for our mail in ballots. And it's just about time. And I'm really appreciative of Bill Aailey. He was a former assembly member and he has always done everything he could to possibly bring some course correction to our state. It's incredible. know I ran for state Assembly. and so I looked at our voter rolls. People were registered to vote in empty parking lots in old houses and buildings. It's about time that we start cleaning this mess up because we deserve to be represented. And know, California is such a beautiful state, but we've got a problem. So there's a fighting chance right now. Voting infrastructure that the Democrats and Gavin has created here allows for this. We have every single Californian and even Californians who have left the state are getting mail in ballots You can register same day and get a provisional ballot. It is incredible that there's no voter ID. We're seeing helicopters bringing in ballots. Why is this even happening? Gavin, and we actually had the nerve to go on public platform and pass SB seventy three saying that the signatures on mail and ballots no longer have to be verified So you know, what exactly does that do? That enables cheaters to happen So they're really bringing in ballots with helicopters? Yeah, there was a bunch of choppers coming in. That's great. Drop droping off ballots by the truck load. Talk about an air drop. Well, since you played Stella, let me play State of Daniel. There's one of our podcast friends. Last night there was a drop of about Who's not gay? twenty four thousand ballots Spencer Prat did not get a single one. Let's take a look at the results over here. So last night you can see before the drop it was three hundred eight, eight hundred seventy eight thousand after the drop three hundred thirty three, seven hundred twelve thousand. And as you can see, Spencer Pratt did not gain a single vote. He had before and after the drop eighty six thousand three hundred twenty three. Manwhile all of the other Contenders here, all of the other candidates did gain vote totals. What are the odds of that? That quite frankly is impossible. By the way, when that twenty four thousand vote drop came in, there were also drops that included the votes for goovernor. What are the odds here that even Steve Hilton would be gaining votes overnight, but none for Spencer Pratt are people not voting down the? Are they just voting for goovernor and they're not voting for LA's mayorll race? I get that there are many people voting for goovernor who would not be able to vote this mayoral race Like obviously, if you live in the northernmost part of California, you would not be eligible to vote for L.A.'s mayor. But you're telling me that not a single person who cast the ballot in those twenty four thousand votes in LA notot single one voted for mayor, but they voted for governor. All of this just does not make sense. That's almost like The election where you saw the counts go down live on T. that was right. That was fantastic.w negative votes for Trump during the Bidenm election. Let's move from our podcast crew to ms now. President Trump is sticking with the playbook, election denial. Pidentote hopped on truth social as he does on most nights to claimout Election denial. Th said Democrats were trying to steal the primaries for California goovernor and LA off Sprise surprise, No facts to support No facts, No evidence. Flame pointing only to a predictably slow counting process in a state withait minute is this Let me ask you a question. you're in California. You are you're the man on the scene. booots on the ground. And the boots on the ground. California is this predictable, this slow counting process? Is this something that always happens with California It's been getting progressively worse ever since Newsom got in office. N never used to be this way. In fact, there was a couple of memes floating around showing them, you know finishing the the vote count withithin two or three days of the election. And that's been stretching and stretching largely due to the fact that Newsom decided to Newsom and you know, he can't just blame Newsom. It's also the state legislature. They're the ones who create the bll crop And they u decided to send everybody whether you ask for you don't have to ask for absentee ballots years ago if you wanted to vote by mail You had to request U Yeah, Yeah, you had to request it. you get a package. Yeah Yeah a package You got if you signed this package and sent the package back. Yeah, then it send you an absentee ballot. Right. No Everybody gets an absentee ballot. We continue. P his claim pointing only to a predictably slow counting process in a state with a huge volume of mail in voters. whichich has always been the case, and he has always known, after all, he's now been in politics For more than twelve years. Joining us, former Democratic congressman for New York and senior advisor for vote Fs, Max Rose, James Sampple, still with us as well.. All right, so All right. I mean, this Katie Tur Tur. Yes, T. Got it. It sounds like She's so snide. Yeah, well, that's what you do. Very slowly, Max. Very slowly This has always been very sl case. much much It's always been the case. Oh what? I got a boots on the ground here that says that's not true. They do count very slowly, Max. Very slowly. This has always been the case. How much How much traction does he get on an accusation like that. This is what Donald Trump always does Yeah,' They is hires some, isn't it? It's horrifying because for I think really the Democratic Party has turn. I'm so tired of these people saying Democratic partarty We really have to keep calling this out because it just it makes it sound like oh they're democratic, but they're not Democrat Party, come on dude. Amidst the I think really the Democratic partarty has turned itself in the right direction in terms of its willingness to go on the offense, itss willingness to really use the power at itss disposal. It's been a change right direction On this front though, I still think it's a blind spot that somehow there's this thing about Donald Trump where we're like, you, ye twenty twenty, did the steal january sixth, the whole thing, that won't happen again. There's zero doubt in my mind D is be using this language and attempting to use the powers at his disposal for the. So he said he said they're under investigation. The California vote process is under investigation under investigation. We take him at his word that it's under investigation and that something might be happening at DOJ. We should take him at his word that he wants there to be an investigation and we should take him at his word that what he wants from DOJ, he typically gets. Yes, of course. he gets that now wait wait wa We should take him at his word that he wants there to be an investigation. When did he say he wanted What That's not his words. No Well how can we take him at his words when they misquote him? This whole station is set up to defend the Democrat Party. I mean, we know this That the station is pathetic. Well. So this morning on U Face the press, spank the press, meet the press, meet the press spank depress. That would be a great show Wouldn't that though? You imagine who would h Well, Man Hans Welker is hosting meeet the press. Well, she'd be perfect. She's got the hands for it have her spanking the press So she was in Wisconsin interviewing the president and things did not go well for her. Let' to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. No evidence. No evidence. No evidence. There's a lot about Todd Blanch. Listen to man. Listen to me. Let's talk tremendous evidence. There's nothing but ev election was It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in pres That happening now California. Right now, it's look Look at what's happening in California. that? It's four days They're doing well again. In California, it's no, they're not they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close coming up That's how they count. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. There's what do you have evidence? They're just to support. All they have to do is look All I have to do is's not I listen. And I listen to people and let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidident. You think it's appropriate. That's how they the votes. You think it's appropriate that they have an election. and five days later, they're nowhere close to picking. local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging they're coked. They're urging the votes to be counted's croked Just like you're crooked. Y press is coked. No, here we go. you're crooked. Oh, here we go. Here we go. H we They're urging, they're crooked. They'reurging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they me. crooked Just like you're coked. Y press is croked and meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not croked. Really you play right into their hands of. Just too be fair, mister President, I'm not crooked. fair. I'm not ced Just to be fair now. let's be fair now. I'm not crooked, mister President. That is a great Is To be fair I'm crooed but' Really where you play right into their hands. Let'sue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into the hands. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide and I got ninety four percent bad press. mister President, You know why I never presented Becauseuse you have no credibility. But you've never presented evidence. No, that's wrong hold on, Let me finish. That was a mistake he made. What did he say He says He says I got a ninety four percent I don't know what promoting himself. He says. And then no, you know, you got ninety four percent bad press after being winning in a landslide as he calls ninety three And he says he says, why? Because you have no credibility? No, no, he was He was on the crooked pounding home crooked.. And then he switches it to credibility. Yes. That was a blunder. Well he's about to rectify it. Elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. Do know that I won an election in a landslide and I got ninety four percent bad press. mister President. You know why I got present becausecause you have no credibility. But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about I want to talk about Tod. You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk your elections in this country. We're like a third world country.. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked. at least the press is crooked And so is ABC and CBS and CN.. one sided crooked network. let's callall it quit because I've had enough. Thank you, Dart. have a good time And he walks off the set. this is the best part So you know, there's a Welkers. No hold on. What? Now I didn't get to see this because it was, you know past my bedtim. Yeah. I was still getting up. Yeah. I understood the whole thing was fifty minutes. Oh yeah, it was yeah. o yeah. It wasn't like he just walked in and walked off. No, I didn't say that No, I know I know you didn't say it but it sounds like sounds like it the way it comes across. Well is he walked off it fifty minutes How much times he supposed to be there? I mean, I'm playing a clip, but the point is He says, Okaykay, we're done He pulls off the mic, gets up. Thanks, Darling. you're crooked And then Welker is her eyes are bugging out of her head. She's like looking at the producer, looking at the crew, like what just happened? is this the one that aired This is what aired. ye because I know they put a transcript and they I guess they posted a secondary complete interview. Well, somewhere. So at the end They come back to her in the studio. And here's what she says. President, let's please the way This is actually the rain This is how it went on air. theang an hour On and off in the rain. and I've given you enough time.. You hear what heays? giving you an hour is he says this when rain I know. I the raangater an hour On and off in the rain And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great. travel with a dishonest. Listen, We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the Cia. Y. There goes the microphone. Now they switch back to the studio and here's her tag I spoke with President Trump on Saturday, and we both acknowledged the complications during the interview posed by the rain. He agreed to sit down with me for another meeet the press interview. It's because of the rain, I say. Okay. Well there was some talk about the rain. They were in a barn with a tin roof. Yeah with a tractor in the background under a tractor back there. it was raining and it they had to cut it a number of times in in an they had to stop the interview a number supposedly, according to the report I read. The whole thing was crazy The whole thing was crazy. Now there was some there's some u There's a Supreme Court case that may stop some of these ballots. I have this is back to now. Tell me about Sot to and mail ballots. Well, so there's a pending I mean in California, we're tracking the mail in vote, we're tracking how long it takes them to count. California is one of the states that allows for a grace period for ballots that are postmarked by election day, but arrive It's not a ballot that goes right into a post box. You have to get it posted And and signed off on certified essentially by somebody at the post office. Right. Just as when you mail your taxaxes, you can mail them out on april fifteenth at eleven o'clock at night, if you can get to a post office and make sure you get that postmark. The IRS isn't going to reject your money, but there is a movement afoot to reject votes that would meet that same standard. And the Supreme Court has a case pending before it right now called Watson versus Republican National Committee that has not yet been decided. And at oral argument, there were essentially three groups of three There are three votes that are a little bit hard to read based on oral argument. There are clearly three votes to end this practice by have the Supreme Court end this practice. There may be five votes to end the practice. retroactive would not be retro There's no way you could make it retroactive. C certainly not for Cal. Could it work for November if. Conceivably, that would be a massive change. There's a principle called the Percell principle, which says we shouldn't interfere, but realistically Alabama. Right right. Realistically, this Supreme Court applies that principle when it's convenient for the Supreme Court to apply that principle for its partisan en No, okay. well we'll see where that goes There was see this is was an interesting commentary on KTLA about why why they are taking so much time. Tonight, election fraud investigations underway in L.A as some, including Republican candidate for Governor Steve Hilton expressed their frustration the final results of Tuesday's primary election could be weeks away This is an absolute shambles, a humiliation Californ It is making our state a laughing stock here in America. President Trump, without releasing any evidence accusing Democrats of quotingid say Americans are ashamed of what is happening. U.S attorney Bill Aay announcing his office is coordinating with the FBI in multTiple investigation Political experts say there is nothing to indicate widespread election fraud, and the delay is expected because of California's mail in ballot process It's nothing fraudulent, it's nothing untoward. The reason it's taking a long time is that the people counting the ballots take their time matching signatures. Oh, that's it. Matching signatures. Please. But SB twenty five, they mentioned in the Stella podcast says you don't have to do that anymore. acccording to The bill, SB twenty seventy I'm sorry, SB seventy five that Newsom signed says you don't have to match the signatures So whats how does this come into play? Well, they're lying if somebody's lying, Yeah Well, For sure, we will not see what Zavier Basera, he's the guy now leading Yeah. wasasn't health and't didn't we laugh him out of town when he was at health and Han services? Now he's He's the front runner. He's the front runner in California. I think it wasn't he wasas he the one that was impeached too, I think It might have been Oh let's ask the ro Look it up. That's a good one. Book of Knowledge wasas Javier Visera impeached when he was in HHS Let's see. I'm thinking're right Well one is a boy I think it was him It could have been, it could have been ' taken a long time to figure it out. According to the Book of Knowledge, Xavier Bisera served as the twenty fifth United States Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Joe Biden from twenty twenty one to two thousand five. But no impeachment proceedings on J N It was the different Homeland Security get it was impeached.. Oh yeah, you're right differentiffere brown guy Yeah, Butarah was a do nothing, do nothing guy. Do nothing. He oversaw the Vax and ye. Isn't he a farmer guy? He's a big farmer. He's a big business guy. The advantage that he has or the only good news for him is that he's like pro refinery And u Well he's pro on his He's pro oil. Yeah. If he's big oil. Chevron has paid finance his campaign. What and the Jews haven't done it Well no, the Jews, I think the Jews want to styer Styers out of course. How could they fail? Nobody likes Syers. Sttyyer' a creep Yeah But how could he fail? I mean, he had all the money I'm sure he had A pC. And how can it fit? I don't understand. People always tell me Yeah If you got all the money, then you win. You should also mention the fact that I was watching one of these old clips in Hillary twice as much money as Trump twenty sixteen, How come she didn't win? Just saying es but Anomaly So u We were pretty much correct about Pty the it was Pulty that was probably more you than me in this one. Is he the guy from the big construction company? Is that is that this Pulty? Isn't there a pulty construction I don't know if it's the same guy or not But he definitely got not to do with intelligence. I think it's one of these things. I think Trump does this a lot. I'm going to put you up for this. You're going to be able to say, you're going to put in your bio that you were nominated. Y wife's going to like it. Everybody's going to think you're great. But you're not going to get it. Well, the theory goes a little deeper. Let's listen first to CBS. Now we're taking you to Washington where act Attorney General Todd Blanche has just confirmed that a controversial onene point eight billion dollars payout fund for Trump allies has now been totally cancellled.. In the meantime, there's new controversy over the president's decision to name a close ally as acting director of National intntelligence. L XZiang is at the White House with the latest on this. Weish good morning to you. What's the issue? Good morning, Gale. G good morning today everybody. Pident passed over other high ranking intelligence officials and appointed Bill Palty, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to also be the acting director of National intntelligence. When we asked the White House about why Palty was picked for the role, they only said he would do a great job President Trump named Bill Polty to oversee eighteen intelligence agencies and organizations, touting his, quote, deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America. But even some Republicans were quick to point out those sensitive matters don't include national security. There No evidence of any qualifications for that. The director of National intntelligence position was created after nine eleven oordinate communication for the intelligence community. Poli currently runs an agency that regulates home loans. I don't know if any national security expercy has doctor Mhmet Oz, who led Tuesday's White House press briefing. Good afternoon, everybody said he didn't know anything about Poli' situation but added I do trust the president's judgment. is a very sharp quick a quick study I love the CBS does this a lot. They're doing very, very short quotes from everybody, just popping it. I mean, I have to say It's fast But it's all you know, it's either a nat pop or it's going to be a quote of you know, there's no evidence he has any experience. and he is the homebuilder. It is Pulty homebuilder, according to the top. Okay that makes sense because he would be FHA guy sure. Yeah, of course. he is second cliff. Pty also earned the president's praise pushing prosecutions of the president's perceived political opponents. like California Perceive political opponents. This is great Senator Adam Schiff New York atttorney genereneral That's not perceived. That's a political opponent James and Federal Reserve Gvernor Lisa Cook for alleged mortgage fraud. We refer people who are Democrats, Republicans. It doesn't matter. Congress does Bom. You see how they're doing that? bl bl bl boom. H have a role in confirming acting cabinet level officials like Poti or acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The reasons for the fund is something that President Trump talked about for a long time. Blanche faced fierce backlash even after the Justice Department dropped plans to set up a proposed one point Really inherently dishonest Well Yeahah, but but the way they're doing it you have to I like it because it keeps the pace and flow going like crazy and it's also it's augmenting. It's not confir In other word, they don't say something and then the guy says the same thing. Exactly. Blanche faced fierce backlash even after the Justice Department dropped plans to set up a proposed one point eight billion dollars fund to pay people who feel they were victims of government weaponization. But we are not moving forward the fund, period. red to temparily block the fund until next month. But Blanche says even after that date, the administration will not try to bre Okay. So now we go to the president himself. It's an acting position. it's not a permanent. He's not going to be permanent because you, I don't think he'd want to be permanent. But he's a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections, et cera, et cetera. I think'd like to do it. I'd like to. he wants We do it very much, got a lot of energy. but he'll be very good lot of energy. Aain, it's not a permanent position. We're looking at we're interviewing people right now, but it's somebody just to take it over for a little while. Does he have a necessary in yourview, mister President, the necessary national security experience to take on that position? Well, I do, and I think he does actually, because he's smart He's smart. H national security experience. Yeah, he's smart So What we deconstructed Is that this what he's doing here is getting a guy Bull in a China shop. Look at this, look at this, look at this, lookook at this. And there's a guy behind him, which is the same guy who was behind Tulsi And that's the guy. He said, Okaykay, here's Bill Polty. He's going to be the acting director of National intntelligence, which has them completely in a connection fit. Why? Because poll is like a bull in a China shop. And my friend The NSA veteran Kirk Weby once told me, I asked him the question you go about reforming the deep state? What would you do And he said first, you needs someone with a chainsaw weed whacker who's willing to go in there and just Tar everything down. and then you need somebody from the intelligence community who actually knows how to direct the weed whacker to where he's got to go So Tolti Gabbard did that in the first term. Polty is basically capable of doing that. He's got Tolzi Gabbard's chief assistant, Eron Lucas who is the deputy DNI under Tossi to show him exactly where to go. And people like Mark Warner, the senator who was probably most responsible for russhing is completely flipping out. He says, this guy's gonna have access to every classified secret in the United States What does that mean? In his interview with Miranda Devine yesterday, Trump hinted at it. He kept coming back over and over again to the rigging of the twenty twenty elections And my bet is the way he's seeing Pulty is this is the guy who can prevent the fraud coming up in the midterms. All right So chainsaw weedwacker. there you go. Who is that? Who said that Now who' that last clip from? Barbara Boyd Is that a Prometheus person? Yes. Old lady They have a bunch of them. But then we have two of them. got Well, it seems like a bunch to me. Susan and Barbara. I mean, that's the guy. he's been a spook for twenty years. Of course he knows where everything is. And you get you get Pulty. Yeah, I'm sure the guys are gonna to have fun. it's just like dem house. This is basically the in the private sector, this is the same act that we're seeing with Nick Shirley Oh dail was Nickh' always got some guy. Oh ye, yeah, he he has Dave Bob. Bob or Dave or Fred, there's some guy telling him what to do. Yes, yes, exactly right. It's fantastic 's a good bit because you have a front man Yeah. And then when all hell breaks loose and you got to ax him, you just you okay, you're out. Yeah But meanwhile, they real damage is being done by the second guy there. He's still there and you bring another front man in he does the same exact thing. Do doesn't make any difference who it is And so the whole thing up It reminds me there used to be a The guy who ran compomuter worldorld and and I Oh here here we go. hereere we go. I'm already loving. I'm already loving. Yeah This is one I've not heard. It think I've heard this one. You is possible. I've have told I have told this before because it's a very good story. It's not my story. it's a story that everyone knows. Pat McGovern used to run computer world, info worldorld, all at these magazines and IDG, the publishing companies theyre big in Asia, they're everywhere. Pat use his gambit, he do the same. He pull a similar kind of stunt to have somebody who was a just a prick. wrriting class. By the way, that's a classic word we need to bring back. Trick is not used often enough because you know, it's a word you can use. peopleeople aren't offended, but it really explains like a just a nasty beyond a dick. Yeah, o yeah,'s' it's dick and beyond So this guy so the idea so so he'd create these Mies Gal that didn't exist and he have somebody Ghost write for him. So he had all these different writers that would go on and on and on about something or then they slam some company and say these guys are no good. C course this maybe there be a company that didn't advertise a lot. There's a lot of reasons to do it. Obviously. And It would get the company all bent out of shape And so McGovern always go to the come me said, Well, you know, You know, if you guys maybe to advertise a little bit, it would Well, we can advertise, but that gu righter. That guy's gotta go in and McGoverny would always sayre. No problem. I'm firing him tomorrow. Some guy who didn't exist. A guy who didn't exist That's perfect. He's out He's out We're with you, buddy. That's great. Do you think that stuff must still happen at publications, I'm sure? Sure it does. everything is like that. Yeah when we mess up, we're going to fire our producer That guy's got to go. So this next clip because we're kind of moving into u Todd Blanch, which everyone is also really upset about because he's president's personal lawyers. how many times have we heard this Oh, the attorney general is acting like the president's personal lawyer. Now it actually is his personal lawyer. And they're losing their minds over it I caught this on Ms Now. I'm obsessed with Ms Now. It's so bad. I must be single handedly raising their ratings through the roof Listen doulingouble doubling them. Blanche has been auditioning for this since Bondi was ousted in April. Auditioning. Oh yeah. And pushing to go even farther than she would on cases that even if they ultimately lose or overturned, reflect Trump's demands for a partisan political, revenge oriented DOJ The move does follow on what Trump wanted and telegraphed. Many are concerned that this obvious Legal conflict will only get worse if he goes from temporary too permanent. Remember? It is a scandalillegal barryly guy that Yeah, that's the right guy six o'clock shadow. The guy who does rap lyrics at the end of his show And I remember in the great words of Q West. Conflict will only get worse if he goes from temporary too per Remember It is a scandal and a legal breach in and of itself for any president to take someone who was their personal defense attorney, someone who was loyal to them on a personal basis and say they should also run the DOJ, run the law firm, if you will the country. Because throughout the modern history of the DOJ, it was a huge dividing line that it is supposed to be independent that of course, any the president is entit this is a very good question. He says modern history, but let's just go through the history because I did a deep dive Oh, good for you. Let's start with Number one, George Washington. H Department of Justice, this is he actually established This is before the Department of Justice was established. This is seventeen eighty nine. Edmund Randolph was his private personal attorney managing his extensive personal legal affairs and estates in Virginia And he appointed him as the nation's very first U.S attorney general. Huh. Oh there's the precedence has been set. The precedent has been set. The precedent has been set. Let's go to Warren G. Harding, nineteen twenty one Harry Dhery, Ohio lawyer who served Harding's personal attorney, close political confidant. taking office, Harding appointed Dherty as atttorney General Well there they have. that's pretty modern. Now how about how about this one? This is my favorite because it's not just the old guys, it's not just the Republicans John F. Kennedy literally appointed his brother Robert there you go. as his brother his brother became atttorney genereneral. Yeah, there's no conflict there. That's not crazy Richard Nixon. appppointed John Mitchell And Richard he was Nixon's law partner at their firm Ronald Reagan William French Smith and Edwin Mese. Both in the inner circle. And of course, George W. Bush with Alberto Gonzalz. So this is bull crap This tons is bull card. This is basically a lie being put on the poor dumb viewers of MS now. Low IQ viewers is how we? Yes, exactly of this whole thing But you know, it's it's a new day, it's a new dawn I guess that's guess that What? I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying, but you know, you know what I mean J as we're talking about the Department of Justice. I have an interesting little tidbit for you. Okay This is an Ask Adam. Oh,, hold on a second. You surprise me with the Ask Adam butt. Askam Asam. All right, here we go. Ask Adam. What are we doing? So this is I want you to listen to this clip And this is about Heg Seth A. talking about, you know, Hexeth came out with this that got all the EU people bent out of shape saying you guys are you see on D days a D day speech. Yeah, june sixth. yes. We had D day yesterday for people. It wasn't celebrating the United States at all anymore. Nobody cares. twenty two thousand dead on the beach, but now this whatever whatever it Yeah, whatever whateveratever Okay, so this ask Adam Hegseth on EU US Defense Scretary Pete Heegseth has criticized European nations for allowing what he described as an invasion of migrants on their shores during a D day anniversary speech in France. Speaking in Normandy, he said different European beaches were being invaded by dangerous ideologies Chadley today Different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, Mulgaria, boats And men arrived When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Migration has become a major political issue across Europe with parties supporting hardline immigration policies surging in the polls. Ask Aam Ask Aam W know won't I don't know B we go As Ask. Answer the question, go. All right, what is the question Well, this is a BBC report and I'm asking you, what subtle insult to the Trump administration was made in that clip You know that doesn't come to mind immediately. No becausecause you didn't catch it right. So I'm going play a short clip. Yes. Which is another BBC clip with another presenter doing the same insult. The U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Heagsiff has called on European countries to resist what he calleds an invasion of foreign migrants An invasion of what, she said countries, which was that caught that caught my ear right away He's the secretary of war. US Defense Secretary Pete Hagig has called on European countries to resist what he called an invasion of foreign migrants. Yeah, very good. very good. I did not pick up on that, which no because it's meant for you not to. They're just not giving, you knowed up. We don't care what you call it Yeah. We're gonna call it what we're gonna to call it. We're British. you're right. It's not the Gulf of America. I tell you, it's the Gulf of Mexico. So we have panic, panic, everyverybody panic, panic Panic here in Texas The new world screwworm. The newew world screworm This screw worm is back. So Texas slim stayed here overnight He's on his way to Taylor White Baylor Scott White Hospital. He has Pancreatitis O, Not from drinking becauseuse he hasn't, I don't know if he has had a drinkking at a time. I think you get it from drinking.'s just something else. And like a virus. And so I really want everybody, you know, think of slim Pray for slim. it's not great. and Slim is even slimmer than he was Um, But, you know, this is mrter Beef intntelligence and he's like the screworm. He told me the whole history of the screw. He said back in the day, had screwm. ye, we had screwm and then you dug a trough And you walked all the cows through it and with poison and they came out the other end and the screworm was gone. That's what we did with screworm. they was that simple But now He says now There's two things. one, the vaccine' got to be coming We got to have a vaccine for the screwworm And the other one is really What a vaccine against a worm? Of course, it's ridiculous He says It's just to reduce the herd even further. They're going to want to callull them You know, it's all regulatory capture is what he said. I listen because you know, Slim is the one who said six years ago, our herds going to go down. You have no idea how bad it's going to get. Now he said to me last night. he said, There's going to be a famine within ninety days. It may not be America, it could be Asia. This is a very big problem. And there's a couple of things I caught in this Fox. live now report. Does he think this famine is being Don't Change quuickly. what's what's going to What what's what is the indicator for a famine and what is the trigger Well, the trigger is stuff like this, where the herd gets reduced to where I mean, Have you been to a restaurant lately and ordered a ribeye I mean, you're talking eighty nine bucks. That was dollars. There's literally in Austin at what is that place called? Th Forks, five Forks, I don't know, fork and spoon It's a fancy restaurant Do you get one of those Fintstone rib eyes? What is it called? What's the big one called Yeah know, the huge one. Yeah, bone in. Yeah, no, no, but big, like you eat it with three people Oh a double a double cut. No, no, no, no, no. No, no high collar. Oh, what is that thing? low pockets. No. What is come on, there's the name for it. It's Tomahawk, the jumbo Tomahawk It's toomahawk Yeah They sell a costco, those things are great. How much do you think they charge for it at the fancy restaurant in Austin And you can three people can eat you could do four if you really wanted to But you and I could probably devour one ourselves. Well, maybe not. You need three people. What is the price do you think in the fancy Austin restaurant for a jumbo Tomahawk ribeye Jumbo Tomahawk rib at a fancy Austin, which is overpriced This is New York prices. U for some unknown reason I would say ninety five dollars eightight hundred and seventy five do. No. Yes Yes, dude, I was in the In what? Yes. I was in Nashville. And one little stupid rear buy one hundred and ten dollars We didn't eat it, by the way. We didn't go to the restaurant hundred and ten dollars for just a little ribye It's go back, let's back this up eight hundred and ninety five dollars for sev eight seventy eight seventy five, the Tomahawk, which you can buy at Costco by the way for about fifty bucks Maybe forty. No, I don't think it's that much. It's probably less like thirty No, that's that's a that's best price But this is what's happening And I'm sure that, you know It's a there's a whole bunch of things that come into this. hold on a second. This doesn't cost them, you know, what are they marking the thing up And why? Well, the thing that Slim told me does maybe they don't have it and it's just bull crap. No I'm going back to what he said five, six years ago. He says, mark my words It says beef, Texas beef will be sold as caviar. You remember that You're saying it's going be like caveiar And that's what's happening. And As a little aside, we don't get most of this beef. Most of this beef is going to the rich Chinese And the Japanese and it's all going overseas. We're not even eating Texas beef, which brings me to this report. F about the scary screworm. So first of all, let's just break down what exactly this new worldor screworm is and the threat that it poses to livestock. Yeah. so like you said earlier, it is a fly and it's a parasitic blow fly and it lays eggs on wounds of animals or any type of opening or orifice that it has access to, and then those larvae will hatch off and start eating on the flesh of that animal. And when it eats this flesh, I mean, like does it just eat away at the whole animal Well, I mean, since it's fly larva, it is a little tough for them to eat and consume an entire animal, but they will feed on it and make wounds very grotesque in the sense. And what really ends up happening is the animal doesn't survive these infestations. So normally the animal will pass before full consumption by the larvae, but the impact is severe why they're there and why they're feeding. Okay. Now this is D I think's Loreredo where this happened. They've got a twelve twelve mile radius. U Zone. And this the worm doesn't fly. okay? It doesn't like jump fly around I'm going to go I'm going to go hit hill country. I'm going to go over here. No, it doesn't you have to have contact pretty much contact with the other animal to get that. But now listen to this piece. Unfortunately, it began moving out of South America through Central America and up into Mexico a couple years ago, right? We've been watching it since twenty two twenty two or twenty twenty three. But most of that movement is due to moving of animals that were infested with these larvae and when you move those animals without treating them ahead of time, it can lead to further infestations in other areas. So what's wrong with this picture It comes from animals that were moved up from Mexico and South America. This is beef country That's not a Texas cow They're mo they're moving We're eating the crap That's what's going on. You go to the supermarket HEB. You're eating South American crap that has been touched by Lord knows how many hands, what they've injected into these animals to get them here. and our beef The big Fintstone stuff that's going overseas. This is not even our beef Why are we driving cattle up through Texas? We got cattle Now, it doesn't matter because we need to reduce the herd. They probably you got to cull them or shoot them up, which will make them inedible and make them die eventually as well So how do what do you do? So they wait they this back up So inally in the olden days, they were just run him through a bass and that would be the end of it. Y. pooison bag, which you do which you can do with dogs too You know, it's kind of basset or have malathione in them or whatever it is. Well What's wrong with that process? No, there's no more knowledge. it's all You It's all rules and regulations that have been written over decades. And you know, it's regulations. Yeah. These regulations Yeah these regulators come in. Now you can't do that gets into the groundwater Exactly And maybe Brooke Rollins, I think that's her name, our Ag seecretary, mayaybe she'll figure this out But the media, this is Fox. They still want to scare you. They want to scare the Bjesus out of you How do we scare Americans What's the best way You're gonna to die No Yeah evenven worse than you dying Y children are gonna die. Now worse than the kids. I don't know. Y dog. Let's talk about cets. There are a lot of dog owners out there, a lot of cat owners out there and do they need to be worried? canan this impact their pets? Definitely. Ely if you're in an area? Deinitely. If you know, I don't know if we have anybody listening from outside the United States, but if you're in an area, you definitely need to be concerned if the screwworms have returned in that area. and in that area Texas right now, we do want to watch our pets. We want to look at them just as much as we would our livestock because yes, they will infest Animals. doogs seem to be high on the list right now out of Mexico, not as high as cattle, but still over five thousand have been identified as having infestations and that's a large number. Is this does it pose a threat to humans Yes, even humans have to be concerned it is rare in humans and even rarer in birds, we get asked a lot about that too. Right now it's like a one percent or so or less of the population of the cases they've recorded that impact humans, but we still we want humans to be aware. it is a possibility. I wouldn't put high on your list, but we still want them to realize worried It can happen. We've had cases of it over the last several decades of travelers going to places where they still can get into where they still find new world forrew wororms and then coming back to the United States with infestations. Yeah, you should still be worried. No matter what you say, be worried, be worried. You want to hear the CBS version of this and we'll close it out Yeah, and I'd be very interested to see if they use the net the net pop style of u Anal We've been holding off the fly for years from Panama. Scientists developed a way in the sixties to breed sterile screwworm flies. Then when they would drop them out of airplanes by the millions the flies out in the wild were unable to reproduce. Using that strategy, they pushed this fly south Out of the United States Out of Mexico, all the way down through Central America using that exact same strategy. During the pandemic, there were some breakdowns in the process and in surveillance.. There was additional movement of people and animals to the north. People the fly. What the people was screworm, come on. Screwworms started to spread again. And I rubbed against the cow and the cow got my screworm. Once that became evident, the US started devoting more resources to trying to stop it They started to prepare a location in Mexico to breed more sterile flies. They prepared an old base in the South US to be able to receive sterile flies and drop them again. And right now the work is ongoing to try to breed sterile flies again in the US. That in itself is significant. Researchers have told me that the flies consider to be so dangerous they can't even get their hands on live samples. They've had to go south to Panama study them They werere all over the place. N this is bogus. So do you know who got money to do this? This is gonna to kill you What company in America amongst many others Got money to do the sterile fly, the sterile mosquito, the sterile ticks Bill Gates Now we already know he does no, Google Goo Google, Google. Yeah. Oh yeah, no, you know what? I did know this because I saw this run past the wire Google Yeah, Google. does how does that even work Tesla? Yeah, right whyy don't you go make your AI better Google is if these flies impact the ability of ranchers to have calves, they have to limit the seasons because they can't have calves in the warm season when the fly is active That impacts how much they're able to rebuild their herds. There you go. It impacts the ability of wildlife to survive. And yes, in some cases, it could impact pets and people. There's been surveillance ongoing for months and months and months State and federal agencies have been training on where to watch for the fly, how to trap it, how to recognize it.. They have been developing therapeutics and treatments and treatments Thrapeut the hope that once it was here, they could get on it right away. But now it is called Mell across the border. It's about one hundred miles southwest San Antonio and the battle is now not just something that scientists are expecting to happen, it is here. It's here, San Antono. Like I could have screworm at any moment I could you probably do. I was wondering about that itch. I got a screw This is u ye, this is bad and Okay, we'll see. We'll see what Brooke does. Nothing Ifraid you're right. think the whole thing's an hop. Well, it is an op. It's an op to collapse the herd even further. Yeah. well, they don't want people eating meat. We had a couple of clips. then we played that clip with a guy we got to poison the public with alpha gal and people stop eating beef? Well, that's an old the planet. Yeah,'s an old clip of that guy said. I know, it's an old clip, but thats What's new? Yeah So We're just going to continue eating our Texas beef We're straight from the rancher. That's where you want to get it So I got a couple of I have odd ball clips today. Okay. U I would I would like to get some non oddball clips. It turns out that The you the uh Train attack St. Petersburg. as we played last Thursday, but they did it again on Saturday and everybody's making it sound like this was the first attack when it's obviously nots as we report orr played clips from NTD last show And Russia has suffered what it's called an unprecedented attack on the city of Staint Petersburg and the surrounding areas. Ukraine fired hundreds of drones at Russian targets early on Saturday, and many of those drones targeted Saint Petersburg itself, coinciding with the final day of a flagship economic forum being held in the city Moscow and Kyiv have intensified drone strikes on each other in recent months, amid US led diplomatic efforts to end the war. But does this latest attack risk escalating the conflict? Our correspondent in Kyiv Vitali Shchenko told The Ukrainians are saying that they hit a weapons storage facility, a navy base and an oil depot outsides in Petersburg. The Ukrainian President Volodyim Rr elensky called the attack a just response to Russia's aggression. The Russian authorities say that this was an unprecedented strike. The governor of Lenengrad region said that hundreds of people were evacuated from outside a military facility which caght fire, so a pretty big incident in St. Petersburg. And were there any deaths or any injuries The local authorities are sort of vague on that subject. They're talking of a number of people injured. They say that damage to buildings in the area is insignificant. but I've seen videos of smoke, billowing outsites in Petersburg and there's well a man who appears to be a local resident and he says that weapons stores have caught fire and you can hear a lot of explosions happening in the background. Were Was there any video with this report? O they just say that there's smoke and weapons de It was a BBC World Service so I didn't get to see any videos. Okay. I don't hear any nnap pops. I don't hear any the BBC World Serice? they don't do that They should they should if they want to stay relevant, they need to do nat pops, get on board BBC. And you know they're still from the old short wave days and they know if they did a nat pop it sound like interference on on the irelessBC with in service. Yeah We have no net probleps but we have reported directly from a guy on the street who said I heard some exploses. That's exactly what it looks like. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a shortwave listener. All right. I you can't find anything anymore. On shhortwave It's pretty hard to come by And you know they it's kind of pathetic compared to what it was when you were a kid. Yeah. So let's go and play part two. We had we had long Wave you had medium wave, which is AM, but they had long wave. and Long Wave was what u Was it what was the thing in Luxb radio Luxembourg A lot of these stations were long, but it was always called shortwave. No, no, you hadn. I mean, the receiver was called a shortwave receiver. No, but it yeah it had a long w had long w W. L W had a band on there said LW, but yes, Yes, that was great. And you had a switch I Oh, I'm a long wave. Hey, and you know what you hear Yeah, you would get a lot of that wy wave sound. That's what we grew up with kids Whooshing. That's what we grew up with. Next I'll do the modem sound of a dialogue. All right, here we go. So how did Ukraine manage to get their drones so far into Russian territory again? Well, I've spoken to the commander of one of the Ukrainian drones units involved in strike. And he basically told me that Russian air defenses were useless We take part in many operations in North region of Russia. and it's very interesting that in these days, It was both operations in Sersburg, and operations in occupied Crimea. and in both directions north and south, we fly in Russia like it's our own territory. Almost no resistance, not hard to reach a target. Is there a fear, Vitali that given the potential humiliation that Russia has suffered in front of its guests, we know that President Putin is holding conomic forum in Staint Petersburg at the moment. Is there a fear about the retaliation now Well for the past months and even years, the two presidents, Vladimir Putin of Russia and Volodymir Zelensky of Ukraine They've been accusing each other of carrying out all sorts of atrocities and saying, well, look, we have to respond. But my view is that this is basically political rhetoric. And the truth is that all these attacks they would be happening anyway because for different reasons, Ukraine and Russia are still willing and able to fight You know They went on forever by the way, should thank me for stopping it. My That way I had to stop it. So this has resulted in a powwow. The French, German and British leaders will meet their Ukrainian counterpart in London on Sunday French President Emmuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz and UK Prime Minister Kir Stammer will discuss with Zelensky the way forwards at a time when Russia in a state of military, economic and strategic failure, is persisting unsuccessfully with a deadly war, the Eiz Palace said. On Friday, Macron welcomed the letter from Volodymir Zelensky to Vladimir Putin aimed at achieving peace. So he sent a letter n a letter. I think Hirch letter. Do they really still send letters? Yeah, firstse. But I mean seriously, do they like with a big wax seal on it? I mean, do they really send letters? Well Trump keeps saying, he's waiting for a letter H from who? I the Iranians. No, yeah. I know I got a's funny you bring that up. I've got I gota A clip from Tucsi, your guy, Tucsi T, number two se Ti Tout Tusi, T O USI, the YouTuber guy, the Tussi guy who we suspect might be a spoop, but we're not quite sure Oh yeah, right. And he does all the Iranian news. And so he shows All these videos because you know, the internet is back open. So IRGC decided, okay, everybody's got internet now. we'll turn it back on And there's tons of videos of protests, students protesting Um Interesting to watch Because what you don't see is h jobs, there's no almost no head scarves. All the girls just got The hair flapping in the wind or tied up in They' Persian women don't, you know, they actually are attractive. Very or they sometimes they get thick ankles Well, you know, it's I'm just saying it's the food. That's only when we're auditioning Persian women. okay? That's the context in which we say this as sers So we had a little report, which I figured I'd share. Doing protests against the Islamic occupation is quite dangerous. as you've also seen Back in December and January, having said that, the regime is getting weaker every day because thanks to President Trump and the US military, because President Trump has not abandoned the mission. As you've seen over the last couple of months and few weeks, the US military continues the operation against the regime in the strait of Hormz. The blockade continues. There have been some clashes, but of course the blockade is doing its job, draining the resources, draining the finances of the regime, creating uncertainty and infighting inside the regime. And that's why the Islamic Revolutionary Gard cororps are trying their best to drag the Americans and everybody else and the Arabs into an all out war because it's in the interest of the regime in Iran to have an all out war because at least it would create unity inside the regime and they could just drag this along But the US decided not to take the bit and continue to paralyze the regime. And they don't know what to do right now If the US military had abandoned the mission, if the US military and the US government had abandoned the Iranian people, for example, obviously the regime right now will be strengthened massively. But right now they can't because the U.S. military is not stopping what they are doing. and President Trump is also not giving up. And he also, he had many opportunities to sign a deal, give a deal to the Islamic Republic and just get out of it. He said, no. I'm not getting out of this and he's rejected every single deal sent from Tehran Dad, july fourth is just around the corner Y God he's gonna have to get it together. Premium was down twenty cents here in Texas I thought that was quite a drop actually should be down to nothing. Texas is an oil producing state Okay Got it. You know, the the oil baron, he's reopening wells they previously kepped He says, there's so much demand right now. They have fifteen hundred wells that they kepped and they're opening them up again He says that right now what it used to cost issues is number They used to cost twenty eight thousand dollars a day to operate a well. now it's thirty eight thousandars says because it's hard to get anybody So let me get anybody to work. to workately They can't get anybody to work. They they rift all these people you know, reduction in force. And now these people who were riffed, they're like, e, I don't know, man, pay me some more. I'll come back This is how the oil business works the way it should work. Yeah.,'s. You keep your employees or you screw up with them and they're gonna screw with you. Come on. So then NPR had I had this woman on who wrote a book U let's see. Um What is his name? Yagane Torbati She wrote the book Stolen Revolution And she kind of says the same thing that things are kind of groovy in Iran right now I'm Mary Lise Kelly. That country I was just describing, it's Iran, or at least Iran at the time of the nineteen seventy nine Revolution. The path from nineteen seventy nine with the toppling of a monarch through the decades of oppression and economic turmoil that followed to this current moment is mapped out in the book Stolen Revolution, Betrayal and Hope in mododern Iran Co author and journalist Yagena Torbati is here to talk to us about it in this special episode of the podcast. We spent so much time here. Th last few months talking about the current war in Iran. It felt worthwhile to dig deep on Yagena's reporting on forces and people who brought Iran to this moment. Yena Torati, welcome Thank you so much for having me. All right, now listen to her report. You in that same story though, write about a rock concert in Tehran that has just sold out. and rock con know Bruce Springsteen is playing Tehron? Hipsters, young hipsters in Tehran who are still hanging out atips and having fun. Hipsters check the calendar gettinging to read Joy continues. hope does continue even amidst a wider sense of hopelessness. Life goes on, you know, I think even in people in war zones. figure out ways to have those moments of joy because you sort of have to to keep going. And I do think my job as a book author and my job as a newspaper reporter can sometimes be a little bit in tension because reviewing all this history I sort of got a sense that like nothing is permanent. things change and movements can arise out of nowhere and people learn to kind of deal with things and maybe come up with solutions. and they manag to find ways to keep contesting power and to keep asserting themselves over time. And so you know for a news story, you kind of have to like have an angle and a conclusion But it's a snapshot in time. and in a year or in five years, we may look back and you know see all of this as a prelude to something or kind of be able to identify the threads that then led to something bigger. And we sort of have to be patient and also keep watching, I think. The hipsters are doing rock concerts in Tehron. How much of a war is this woman something' phony about her. She does a laugh tle before she uses the word book author. book. And then sheair. Then she uses a laugh tale in front of the word I should have written it down, but another key word. Yeah fair halfway through. Fair. That's fair So I guess she's a spook. This is a bull crap book. There's no rock concerts going on. mayaybe there are I think I think the rock there might be but this I don't think I think this is going to be This is not presented correctly C to make this sound like, o, don't worry about it. That's how that's how I took it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it No Don't worry about that. It's so good So we are on the worry about it. We're on the eve of something pretty big U these big IPOs the the tech IPOs Um And there was after the crash on Friday AI crash on Friday. Yeah I think these eight you think these IPO's are going to come off Yeah, I think they will. they They got to go, but here here's the thing. let me see if I can find this. The thing that is rather concerning For the general public, if you think about your average investor, a lot of them are passive investors. You look at your four hundred one K, your retirement accounts, you're probably plugged into some sort of an index fund. So you don't have to go and be a stock picker. You can just sit back and collect money that's growing within these major indexes So the rules have changed a little bit for these listing places like the NASDAQ, for the New York Stock Exchange when these companies debuted, there was a waiting period around three months before they were included in these index funds. Now, as little as two weeks later, these massive companies with unproven financial models can now be added to the index funds And typically when you see a company debut, the first day of trading is very volatile. The first few weeks of trading are very volatile because people are trying to price what the value is of this particular company. So now that these companies like your open AIs, your sppaceXs, that they can be included your open AIs, your space Xs, is there more than one SpaceX your SpaceX is, this is is this bad reporting Nular company. No I can give you some other examples of why it's bad reporting when you're done Okay. The way she presents it is boll crap. What do you mean It's not like, o, now you can now the indexes can pick them up after two weeks. They have to pick them up after two weeks if they're in the index Yeah if it's allowed, this is a scam. Yes. This is we talked about this on DH. Okay, good. What what did you conclude conclude this was another beautiful ploy by Elon to change the moment where you where the index fund has to bring this, you know, instead of letting the stock settle out, you know, it comes out, goes up and down and up and down. Who knows what it's going to do? You don't know you really don't know No And inste instead of waiting for it to go through the normal process and then putting it in the index fund. and it's a big part of the index fund, which means you got to bring a lot of you got to buy a bunch of stock because the index funds have to own the stock. So they have to buy a bunch of stock. inststead of having to let it go through its rigama roll, it's artificially up because it has to buy it right away. Yep. This is a scam and it should be pointed out as not a scam illegally. It's just another Elon Musk beautiful. The guy's a genius. Yeah well, they're all going to get in. I mean, if they all have this level All of them will have to be will be not have to be. all of them will be pulled into the indexes. They have to be. This's by by the rules of the of the fund So okay. So you're going to have a bunch in other words This could be the beginning of the end. This could bring down the whole thing. You don't know. Well but this is there's more and more crazy stuff going on asking for a major correction. So there's something else I learned from a friend of mine who works at an accounting company the anonymous gay guy, but he'll probably weigh in. He still listens. I know he does The Anonymous show. Oh, no, he texts me all the time never texted me. Well, the anonymous gay accountant, of course texted me about testosterone. Hello I mean He was the first one to text me What did he say? It's great and you got to get on these peptides. I'm ripped. pepttide. I'm ripped. I should put him I bet he is. Of course my son My son found one The Wolverine everyone's talking about the wolverine package Is that the one that that burnings your muscles up and they didn't get as big as posot they turn it into you can turn it into a literally a monst Wolverine by working out once a month. Yes, Wolver's the wolverine and it's like two pepttides And please don' email me. I have everything I need to know And you know what I'm going to do? absolutely nothing. I would avoided like the plague.ll get I got some feedback on from a PhD as well. Anyway So a lot of these what they call the hypers scalers Which includes Google. They have switched from stock options to RSUs. Are you familiar with this? It's like revenue service units No, I'm not familiar with them. So as an accounting thing, they switched everybody to RSUs So it's all about accounting. But now everything's about accounting. Every single time an RSU employee cashes out company has to sell stock to cover it which pushes the stock price down. So then of course, they have to do stock buybacks to keep the price up. It's like a treadmill And Google is raising eighty billion dollars U AI. Well If you look at the in fact, Reuters wrote about it forty million of that is going towards compensation of employees who are cashing in their RSUs forty billion of it. So The theory is that these big taking up companies so I mean, they so need AI to succeed because their wealth at this point is really on paper. They got to spend all this Capx on AI And these employees, you know, they they cash out boom, legally Every time an RSU employee cashes out, they have to withhold twenty two percent up front That's a lot of money So there's something going on that is not well in Silicon Valley of with Google of all companies They were printing money And somehow now this whole AI thing is screwing everybody's numbers up. So yeah, you better believe it has to be successful Note from a dude named Ben who works at Microsoft We've been told to use AI for everything that has resulted in a lot of token maxing. This is the this is the big the big term in Silicon Valley Token maxing, here's your tokens, you got to use them all. I work in C plus plus and I've had to review code that was complete slop Amongst my coworkers, we keep talking about how much this is actually costing us and no one knows We're told, Hey, now is the golden age. So use as much as you can before it ends I think everyone knows there's going to be a limit on it eventually, but we don't know how much The other thing to note is that AI use is just tracked and factored into promotions and bonuses This is what leads to token maxing. So you have to show that you're really productive by using a lot of tokens. Um this is. This is a good one. I don't think AI coding is going anywhere. The models have gotten a lot better. However, it can be a really frustrating to work with them. Sometimes they can implement features really well and It's fantastic. It's like a slot machine. Yes, is what I've noticed too. I hope they get better, but I hope they get better for things I really need to understand for now I'm writing all my code myself So now enter the big problem. that is that we've been talking about which is the data center to the desktop. And CMBC had What's this guy's name Patel? Of course, Indian dude Um He is the president of Cisco. Cisco and of course, Cisco wants to sell routers and switches and stuff for traffic. So the guys are kind of full of crap But what he's saying here, I think is very relevant. Hey, just imagine that Employees in the company use about two hundred dollars worth of tokens every week fifty weeks a year. That's ten thousand bucks In tokens, you have forty thousand employees, that's four hundred million dollars. You you have ninety thousand employes, that's nine hundred million dollars. That was really.arting price, can you say that again slowly? two hundred dollars per week. Okay That doesn't seem like It doesn't seem like it's crazy, right? Trying to think of my open club b. You probably use more than that d. It wouldd be a very expensive. It gets cut off, but I'm like, I got every outit. Okay, so two hundred dollars Ak week And then you multiply that at how many? fifty weeks. Yeah. Let's say you take two weeks off a year. You maybe take four weeks, it's forty eight weeks. Roughly it's ten thousand bucks a year. And R employee. per employee. And so that cost We have ninety thousand employees. So now we have the problem for these AI frontier model companies like Open AI Anthropic and a degree SpaceX AI elementOP, model routing. What about model routing? I feel like this week, everyone's talking about that and it makes a lot of sense. L you can just see the numbers. cost you twenty five dollars for an output on Claud Opus Under a dollar for the same output on Deepseeak. Are you guys utilizing that? Absolutely. We actually have three models ourselves. We have a deep network model. We have a foundation security model that we've open sourced. And we've got a time series model We just also got another model for observability and we demoed that on stage that you know if it takes twelve cents for token costs that you would have for a certain task You could take out ninety five percent of the cost if you actually go with the local model. L a small model But what you have to do is you have to have an intelligent routing layer that says for these prompts and these tasks, I'm going to go over here and for these other tasks, I'm probably going to be able to go to something cheaper. So I'll get back to that one second, onlyn two more clips because this term came up wo weeks ago, I hadd never heard it before, and it's back, Jevin's P paradox. What does that mean for premium priced? AI? I mean, there's always going to be a place for them, right? But is it going to be growing as quickly as we've seen over the last few years? I think there's Jevin's paradox that's going to be like constantly on supercharge right now. The lower the price goes, the biggest risk we have is an industry is if this gets too expensive where the cost of tokens is disproportionately higher than the value it generates, then people pull back So actually, the cost per token going down is better for the model providers because when the cost goes down, people use it more, but your value is actually commensurate to what you're paying per token. Let me push back on that point.. We actually don't know the value is commensurate. And that's what No, I'm saying it's not right now. Right Yeah So if it's not And if the price goes down, that's actually better because then people actually use it more. Is that a problem though? I mean, do you think that that will hit demand? Some of these questions over return on investment and value? I mean, Scott was just here basically saying that if you don't get enough value from our product, we're going to pay ten million dollars for your usage. It feels like everyone is scrambling to show that they're providing value, but this is a question too that is not new, right? That hit the AI trade, the public AI trade before It's kind of been off to the races recently, but there's some of that skepticism creeping back in. I think there's a now So this is this this is one of those bull crab silicon Valley things. We've seen this come and go a hundred times Jevven's paradox which and this I don't know if you remember it two weeks ago or something like that, someone said, o, it's Jevin's paradox. So this is and that was on the all in pod So this is a bull crap term they're using in Silicon Valley Jevin's paradox is an economic principle discovered by British economist William Stanley Jevins in Wait for it, eighteen sixty five Can't just see some VC coming up with this? Absolutely. Well, you know, according to Jevin's paradox, it states that technological improvements that increase the efficiency of resource use can paradoxically lead to an increase in the total consumption of that resource. rather than the expected decrease. paradox occurs because the efficiency improvements make a resource cheaper to use, The cost savings often lead to increased demand, that more than offsets the efficiency gains, for example More fuel is the paradox. Well, I'm waiting for it More fuel efficient cars might lead to more driving or energy efficient appliances might encourage people to use them more frequently This is Silicon Valley speak for We're screwed. The model doesn't work. Jevin's paradox, man. Don't worry. When Jevins kicks in, it's all going be great can just feel it It's one of those things Can't you see John Dor running around? This got me to just change this little presentation here change the tip of the day It's what you'll hear it when you get to the tip of the day it'll be the end of the show. you. People have to listen, but this will be very relevant. Oh good what you're saying. Oh good. And then the final clip, this is truly what I think is already happening and where all this is heading and why your four hundred one K will suffer when these IPOs and these companies get added to the index Companies are eventually, and this is what you were talking about earlier on desk side computing, is that right? He says companies are eventually going to shift to running local models. Prices are getting too high for Fortune five hundred companies to swallow. We are already seeing starting to see the leaders shift to this idea. Yeah. It makes a lot of sense, doesn't? E exxplain. Break this down for me.. I have agents I want to use these agents I'm going to actually have a Mac Meni right next to me That's my desk side computer. My laptop computer is where I'm working, my desk side computer is where where the Mac mini is where my agents are working That means I now am doing a lot of processing locally. I might have models that actually sit on that Mac Money that that agent is using because they're getting smaller and smaller' getting smaller and smaller. So if I can get a substantial percentage of the workload on those Boy, that's a great thing What that does though, is it's going to require a lot more network bandwidth because those agents are going to generate being Listen to this bull crap. here we go. Oh yeah. a lot more bandwidth because the agents' gonna kind want to talk there are routers. traffic that'll have to go back and forth between the data center. Oh, back and forth between the data center. Oh no. These agents aren't just talking amongst themselves're going talk talk amongst themselves on the Mac mini, but they'd also talk to someone in the cloud. Oh, you need two gigabits now. And so I think you're going to have a At this point, an agent workflow is a routing challenge It is a it is a trust decision. and it's a telemetry event event being, I need to make sure that I'm showing the traceability of where that agent is going, what it's doing. All those things together make this a coordination of intelligence. It's not just a It's not just that you're going to have one large model and one large data center and it's going to answer all your questions. So here we go, John, we're pitching now So taking in mind what you all know, of course, Jevin's paradox, when we have these telemetry events, we're going to be rich. J watch. It's going to be great. Invest now. H my hereere's my powerpoint Well, what do can you term of the telemetry threshold for the ROI Yes, I can do that with the locally managed network operating protocol with the advanced network analysis language O . I heard you could do that. My favorite my favorite favorite one, addvanced network analysis language. Now there is good news. There's good news because finally we have something that AI is useful for. I fully support this. I think it's great. called Dana Brunetti because we're going to kill Hollywood once and for all. It's interesting that this is a YouTuber that is making the leap because you were pretty early invvesting in the creator space with full screen Any I mean, what did you learn out of that? And did you think that in the year twenty twenty six we would see this run of digital native filmmaking talent making the leap not just to getting Hollywood style movies made, but getting big audiences, you know, obsession just opened big and is keeps growing and now we've got this other YouTube first movie That is going to be big. called It's called Back Room. Have you heard of these movies Well, there's one no, the only one I've heard of is the one that's actually playing in a theater. Yes. That's back in the Tribecca film Festival I think it's back rooms is the one that's play. No, no, it's it's something violets Well, there's I'll get to tit. There's a couple of them. Absolutely. the only one playing in the theaters is the is the violus film Let's listen to this This is um Who's this guy? figured on a minute. They believed that. You did. Yes. we look You know, we have been huge believers in the creator economy and creator economy back. I think we invested in full screen fourteen years ago Look, it's also to be fair, it's no accident. We are the only media company based in Silicon Beach. Our offices are in Pied Vesta we are Silicon Be Beach. What is Silicon? Where is Silicon Beach? Down south is it Calabasas or someplace downown southern California.asas Yes, Bowl craft. This is great. YouTube is right over there. I'm in Silicon Hills Facebook is right over there Uh you know As a company, I'm deeply interested in technology. We've always been deeply interested in. blah, blah, blah, blah. What's happened the movie' Dreams of vioolence, Dreams of vi. is' it from an Iranian filmaker and it's about Iran riots or killings or something like that. It was very controversial. It's the first one accepted in the film festival. And there's a bunch of news stories on all the networks about it. Well, now Hollywood is just like Silicon Valley, except instead of the What is it? the Jervan? I forgot the name already Jarvin principle I was I gu Igot ourb principple. The Jambo principle. Jambo. There you go, poor jambo guy. principle. poor jambo guy. Now it's ye man, we want YouTubers. Get us YouTubers. We need more YouTubers. You can't just live on seQels. You can't just live on existing IP. It's a terrible thing to do at the US. I hope that there is a lesson to those big studios in both obsession and backrooms because they should be taking risks like that. You know, And if you go back to the big franchises, which they are making infinite sequels of are generally fifteen to thirty, forty years old at this point. Cathonians wasn't born when they started Yeah And you know what do you think the model is going to be? Do you think that it's possible that These YouTube first movies that that they could reinvigorate People going to theaters to see it Like vinyl, you know. L like everyone's o, Oh vinyl Vinyl. Oh no, you gott to see this thing in the theater Do think that's possible? C could they I think it's possible, but not for a while Well, there's a couple of these movies happening. I mean surely we can't just have people putting them out. on YouTube and not making making YouTube pennies. That's not gonna last. Well, the movie dreams of violets. They had protests out in Front and everyone's moaning about it. Really Yeah, because oh, it's going to ruin Hollywood and we're all gonna to die. Brunetti should be all over this. No Brunetti probably is all over it. I haven't talked to him about it I'm sure he's all he's not over all over. He should be producing this stuff. He should be producing. He should be hey kid kid, I wantm gonna to make you famous You want to get rich? You wantan to get leave your wife rich? Yeah. Stick with me. babe D Brunet babe. get you want to get a job and You want to be a star. a star A star. Yeah. I'm Dana Brunetti. That's not at all how he sounds, by the way. ounds like? That's not how we him I No No. Yeah, he sounds just like that. That's not at all how Berenetti s. He sounds like this. And he's not and he doesn't look at all like he sounds either You know, he lookss like this. He looks like a frat boy with a beer.ot a big cigar usually smokkingay. h it h it So I have an AI story that needs to be All right ed Okay. This is This is an ode to Linda Lupatkin. Oh. All right. Linda. But AI job searches and what a little tidbit here is quite interesting Stanford just released the biggest study ever done on AI hiring tools. and it's uncovering this massive web that's answering the question all of us are asking, whyy does my resume keep getting rejected for jobs that I am completely qualified for? No. And I'm going to be honest, this study has changed the way I think about every application I've ever sent. ninety percent of companies are using AI to screen applicants before a human ever sees them. And the interesting thing is that most of these companies are using the same few vendors to do that work, meaning it's the exact same tool just used in different companies. And it's probably everywhere that you have been applying. Here's how it actually works. You apply to a job And then the company sends your resume to a third party AI tool. And that AI platform gives you a score. And then it sends that score back to the employer That score doesn't disappear or get regenerated with every application you send Sometimes it holds onto that score for three hundred and thirty days So when you apply to another company that uses that same platform, you're not getting a fresh start. You're just getting that same score again. And the research is real. They track over four million applications across one hundred fifty six employers? When they found that the people who had applied to multiple companies who were using the same AI tool to screen, the rejection rate was a little too high to be coincidental. So they're calling it systemic rejection. Cy is called algorithmic mononocultures in hiring. if you wantna check it out. But just know that if you've been sending applications out and hearing nothing back It's probably not your resume. And this is just another reminder that we're not living in some glitch. It's effectively one score for three hundred and thirty days for every company that you're applying to. And this is why laws like the ones Colorado is passing right now are going to be imperative to the future of job applications and hiring. I'm going to continue to report on this So Follow, like, comment if you want to know more about this. are actively working against you in your job search. And feel free to share this with anyone else who's being actively gas lit by AI on a daily basis. That's Image Makers Inc with the gay. Now I was say a couple firstirst of all, I did not edit that. U I'm better than that. This is typical H tech way of saving money. Yeah. they instead of having, you know, you get an application in and you scan it for the for some score and you send the score back to the first company Another thing comes in from the same person from a different company Why bother scanning it? Same school. We already have the guys just send the same score on. so that's what they're doing. Yeah Why is this classic? Why burn tokens on it? No'm gonna Yeah Why burn tokens when you can just Hey, he's in the database send that same score get a completely different resume. but so what? Keep him there for a year. It's good ' year and by the way, I doubt it. I'm sure this permanent. It's like a credit score Yes you're done. You' toast. You're not ever going to work again We gott to do these two peeptide emails since we made such a big deal about it and we had so many lovely people writing in. about what Pep tides Oh peeptides. Peptides. Yes. And so about ninety five percent We're telling me, it's great, it's phenomenal. I inject myself twice a week. I'm on the go. I'm on the Wolverine. This is the best thing ever. It's fixed my back. I don't doubt it at all I'm sure it helps a lot of people. Yeah, but there's two emails I wanted to highlight One from our senior medical student, he's written him before. He's in Australia. He says basically you buy this stuff online, but these peptides can be between fifty percent to three hundred percent purity of the stated dose This makes no difference for the fancy water peptides that people get a placebo from injecting them. I'm sure there's a lot of that going on But for harmful drugs like this new R ETA as everyone calls it, reteta This can kill people. I've seen otherwise healthy young patients coming in with symptoms of pancreatitis, of unknoss cause. Hey, Sim until you ask about the peptide use. I had a young lady taking four times the recommended dose of ret retr trueed, I can't retr trrueed daily. This is the stuff we talked about. Yeah. This is not even mentioning the fact that her vials could have been two hundred percent purity, so it could have been eight times the dose Based on talking to patients, I would say around tencent to twenty percent of young Australians, fourteen to thirty are taking peptides with up to half considering it. This is a lot Yeah In fact I think this is a bigger thing that than than we suspect. Yes The fact is most of these peptides are I know people who get their peptides from their hair person justust same The fact is most of these peptides are showing promise in studies on rats and muscle cells and petri dishes. With minimal human safety trials other than Reddit and TikTok forums, these companies can get away with making millions selling these as it's not illegal here in Australia to sell research purposes only peptides with no recourse Um Here's a He's some people take U MS H to be more tan and it works well for this. But when you stimulate the melanoites on your skin, you stimulate the moles that are normally hanging out there Most people have moles that could turn into melanoma. o? So's kinds of horrible things that can happen. Then then we have boots on the ground from Patrick before you day. before you're done with that letter, I should mention, I sent that letter to JC. Yes, that very one And I'm sorry, the one from Australia And he says it he says he thinks it's wrong. Rong at the what he says about the u melanoma generator because it turns out that it might actually be just the opposite It be it might be sure might just the opposite. It might be he cited some some rationale that it would anyway, he says he it's dubious So now the the the argument.. Yeah it might be. I don't know, might be We don't. And in fact is the thing that bothers me about all this, of course, is people that are always you know, concerned about, uh eating whole foods and being careful about what theyat and ingest it would just take these things off, you know from drug dealers. It's it's cray So now we have Patrick who is pursuing his doctorate in chemistry, right up your alley. He was listening to Thursday show. He said, I heard you were interested in peptides. Well, since I'm pursuing this I thought I could weigh in and tell you what I know. From a scientific perspective, the discovery and creation of GLP one drugs is interesting and they have gotten pretty good from what they began as. When it comes to peptides as a drug, The hardest part is making sure they are not digested in the body For the large majority, you cannot just eat peptides because your body will digest them like any protein you would get and from eating food and not intoer the bloodstream. This is why they are injected into the bloodstream, and even then your body will break them down although at a much slower rate. When it comes to peptides, which many people are using to biohack, that' it, outside of GOP ons Most of them come from Chinese companies, which have little to no studies, especially not in human trials. The rationale of using them to improve bodily function mainly comes from computational modeling like climate change The biggest issue for these is the actual production of the peptides themselves. That kind of goes along with what our previous boots on the ground said. Companies utilize e colide to produce the peptide. What? Whoa., usings a process known as recombinant protein expression, I do this on a regular basis in the lab and it's actually a very efficient way of producing peptides and proteins insulin is produced using this method. The biggest issue with using this to create drugs for human use is the contamination of polysaccharides, sugar which can create severe allergic reactions if injected into the bloodstream. Pharmaceutical companies are great at removing this and have testing to ensure that batches are not contaminated. The equipment to dou this is very expensive, and I would bet that the Chinese companies that are producing peptides are not doing this I best price. I have friends that have had adverse reaction to these peptides and gotten sick from them. This is the biggest issue I see with peptides outside of the general ignorance on how they will interact with the body as the biochemical pathways within the body are very complex and small changes can create big effects. So I mean, biohacking is what people are doing and u You don't need to email me and tell me Th these guys are full of crap and I don't know what I'm talking about because guess what? I don't. But we don't we're rank amateurs when it comes. All we're doing is presenting what we know. Yeah. what we're told our or not even that. Yeah. What our producers tell us. Yeah, what people Yeah, and we're going to continue to do that for a while. Yes. because I mean So big deal. this is going on. Yeah. so when people get all bent out of shape that now Eli Lillily is taking what they've basically been getting for fifty bucks from their hairdresser They're now, you know, now they have to pay a thousand bucks a month. They're all bent out of shape you, blah, blah, blah. But Production matters, quality matters U so I said when it comes to vaccines where there's no liability. Oh no please. Well since you inject this, can't they just call it a vaccine And how well. And how would the pill, how would this pill work better than injecting it mainlining that crap, baby My mom mainline it right into me ill doesn't make sense to what we what the one guy what the chemist said doesn't make sense about the pill because they're just getting, you know, digested like any other protein. I mean, I'm here's what I'm worried about You get this stuff. particularly if it gets approved by the FDA, and before you know it, you're voting Democat. I'm telling you, you gotta be careful about it. I think you might be on to say. You gotta be careful with these things But yes, theverine the Wolverine combo is what everyone seems to like a lot. If you're working out a lot and you get ripped Re pp. ripped. Yeah. I'm not a exerciser. I'm a walker So I'm not going to get ripped anytime. I'm a podcaster. I got no time to exercise. Podcastters shouldn't be ripped. There's nothing there's not sick about a ripped podcast.. Tell that to Joe Rogan Well, yeah, but Rogan was always Yeah, but Rogan's also UFC fighter. And by the way, which brings me to the I finally got one more. I took forever to get a Sharpon clip. Oh, a Sharpon clip Wh he screws up Of why they're having these fights on the on the White House law on the UFO and all U whatever they call it. Excellent. Yeah, fininally a new shharppton jingle to use. Very good. veryy good.'m very happy. Thank you. Thankk you. took Excellent job. Excellent job. veryery happy with that Oh man. Ebola update. Wait, I need to do my Ebola jingle I need to I need to oops Ebola Yes, here we go. Ebola, Ebola, It has been with us two times in our lives. Now is the third It time to speak about Ebola, Ebola, Ebola. Security has been stepped up at Ebola treatment centers in easastern Congo, with extra UN peacekeepers and local police deployed. Medical staff have faced growing hostility with reports of attacks on facilities Richard Kagoy reports The move follows threats against health workers in a region where distrust and misinformation about Ebola remain widespread. Security has been reinforced in Rompara and Mokumbalu in Itiri province after incidents targeting treatment centers and medical staff. Troops also guard smaller clinics receiving patients and supervise imperor teams. alongside the security push government and aid partners running outreach campaigns to counter false information and build public trust in communities where cultural beliefs have shift views on illness and death. The WHO says nearly five hundred cases are confirmed, including eighty two deaths in the outbreak across Central Africa. I have a follow on clip from CBS regarding a little misunderstanding After this outrage in Kenya in which two people were killed, protesting a Trump administration plan to set up an embola facility only for Americans at a military airbase, Secretary of State Marco Rubio now says there has been a misunderstanding. And that's about whether Americans would only be observed for symptoms if they've been potentially exposed in the region or if positive whether they would be quarantined and then treated for the longer term. We're not actually act Kenya to set up treatment for Americans. I think the one that's been very controversial is a misunderstanding. There is a facility that the Kenyans are allowing us to open. If there are any Americans that are exposed potentially exposed, they will be transferred to this facility for observation. And he said that they would now be removed from Kenya now to either Europe or the United States N he did not say the facility was entirely off. The flight radar has been tracking U.S military flights flying towards an airbase about one hundred twenty five miles north of Nairobi. That airbase is called Lpia. This was before a Kenya High court judge blocked the facility at least temporarily, also after that judge blocked the facility. after those protests broke out on june first, Kenya's Prime Minister William Ruto said that it would be good for the country's own Ebola prepariness and said that the U.S and Kenya have had a friendship for the past thirty to forty years. But many Kenyans feel that this is the Trump administration outsourcing American health risks to their own home country. And a high level medical contact of mine in Nairobi told me that the expectation is that this U. S. facility will go ahead regardless of what any high court says. I mean, don't you think it's time for a repeat of the Ebola flight coming in and everyone's all There has mat suits on s out like He Hello hello jumps on a bicycle and takes off. Yeah. Be bye. We didn't play this clip the other day, but it's relevant, I guess now. Two research scientists have been arrested and charged with smuggling imppCs into the United States. Vincent Munster and ClaeQay work at the National Institutes of Health BiosSafety Lab in Montana According to prosecutors, the pair traveled back to the US from the Republic of Congo, where there was an outbreak of empochs. When they went through customs, CBP officers questioned them about a large plastic case they had. They allegedly lied to the officers about what was inside After investigating and testing, the FBI found vials of deactivated imppox virus, chicken poox virus, and human DNA. The men face up to five years in prison The scandal isn't so much that they did this F years, you imagine Adam Curry and John C. DeVorac show up at the airport?

Oh This was kind of funny this is about our pro our favorite prop bet We have to Kalsi being one Federal investigators are examining the prediction market trades of former New York Republican Cgressman George Santos. AndPR's Bobby Allen reports it's the latest case raising questions about insider trading on the betting sites. Four months after George Santos had a seven year wire fraud prison sentence commuted by President Trump, he took to social media I'm going to be there for the sake of the union in the gallery guys, just chill trolls Chill trolls. What he didn't say publicly is that he was betting tens of thousands of dollars on the prediction market site Kaussi that he would not attend. Before it was revealed, he did not go, he cashed out. That's according to the resources with direct knowledge of Santos's trades, the Justice Department and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are investigating When reached by NPR, Santers said the investigations were news to him. He said, I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no when asked if he has an account on Kausuchi Man, how low IQ are you if you do that? Well, this is I can make money quick This is illegal wasn't it Insider trading by definition. There's no SEC involved in this. Not yet And it what insider training, you're the guy they' people are betting on Well, he bet on him You don't think the basketball guys do this constantly. Yeah. Oh I sprained my ankle. I can't play. Right. They get in trouble for it Do they? But from the leeague Yeah, true Oh, Wall Street Journal, Trump urges Pulty to fire Intel employees. Here we go Here's the hereere's the said, you're right. Here we go. The bull in the China shot. The chainsaw weed whacker. R R. Yeah. Oh, this is gonna be so much fun It's gonna be great. and be good for the show. I know it should be. Yeah and find all kinds of stuff so they I'm sor I'm going to say the World Cup, Weve got a clip on Iran. they gave him visas But um I have a bunch I have a couple of screwy clips here. ould you I'm gonna to ask this could be an ask Adam What is the gayest city in the United States? A, the gayest city in the United States. It's Gay Pride month. I got a gay pride clip Um, well, I mean, instinctively you want to say San Francisco, but somehow I don't think it's the gayest I don't think there is one. I think New York would be it personally, which O Atlanta Atlanta is very gay. Which clip is it? Which clip? This is the mayor Mayor Bowser, the mayor of Washington, DC. Oh. Well he claims that Washington, DC, the capital of the United States of America Well play the clip. fifty one years of pride in the future fifty first state And both movements are rooted in the same belief. Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and fully represented. We're celebrating pride in the gayest city in the world Well, let's be fair We do have some A gays Uh in DC. You know, so you bring in a Bescent. there's going to be a whole bunch of other people who follow around I can see. do you think Besson will be out there at pride with his ch with his chest. No. He was he did not do a good job, man the other day me see where is it He was he was being Grilled see, here we go you think with all the experience he's had. It's no good He'd be better. Oh, he's no good. Listen to this. Why are you allowing President Trump and his family to have complete immunity from being audited? Again, since you are a lawyer, you will understand that the US Treasury and the IRS are represented by the Justice Department and the acting A attttorney genereneral. Yes, but I just mentioned a Supreme Court case that doesn't bar you from testifying. It's pretty clear to me though, however, that you're not interested in answering questions. you're interested in arguing Let me ask you this question. If President Biden amended a prior tax return and claimed that he was owed one billion dollars Do you think that that would be audited or should it be audited? I'm not gonna talk about any the Because you're not really here to answer the questions. I don't understand why you wouldn't audit that and I don't understand why you wouldn't do the same for President Trump. So the ruling have the ruling by the Justice Department have specific knowledge of an audit of President Trump? Excuse me It's my time. Y. I're not here to ask me questions. I'm here to ask you questions. and hopefully you're here to try to answer some of them. Oh man, he it got even worse whereere he's like he's he's he literally clutches well, he didn't he was if he had pearls, he'd be clutching him Like this is an outrage. Can't Rubio take him aside Rubio is the guy that's good at this. Yeah and Rubio is good at this but Bessen has to answer and he's just no good at it I don't know. I don't understand I mean He's chokes, choke, choke, He listen to this. I'm curious to know who counts as Trump's family for the purposes of this immunity? Is it His children, his in laws, his grandchildren, his second or third cousin, his great great grandchildren. Do you know the answer to that question, mister Secretary? Again, I imagine you have the Justice Department phone number. I would suggest you call them I'm not the one that runs the the Department of the Treasury or that overseas What is happening with this immunity that is I not one either. We follow the instructions of our lawyers And we obey the law You're proud of your performance today mister Secretary. P I think it's pretty safe to say I hope she get some social media clips. that this is probably the most corrupt treasury deepartment in our nation's history and going protect I'm going to have to take exception with that. No. I'm going to write a stern letter to the time That is Tr. And I'm going to write an oped about you. You will be in deep, deep Kim Cha. I am going while you dswer around questions exception will protect Trump Trumpers Americans are suffering in Trump's spiraling economy inflation is now raising faster than average hourly wages. Gas bams are at an time high with the war in Iran. I know what's going on with him. You know what it is Low tea. That's what's happening here. Maybe peptides are needed Anything, anything Oh my goodness. That's because I am a I'm a Bescent fan, but this is bad This's just bad. No good Yeah I hope you get some good social media clips out of this one very lame. And he's got that nervous sound to his voice is no good. Hey, I want to play this clip. I've been holding it, but I just want to play this because I just think this is technology that needs to be discussed more. Okay The X fifty nine. I don't know if you've seen pictures of this thing. This is a new jet No I haven't. I'll have to w it's it's a jet that can go Muck one point something It goes past the speed of sound with no sonic boom How does this even work Well, that's what I like to know But if you look at the design of the thing it' loopy looking. it looks like like a concord cept with the Lor it's just cool it's cool looking. Let's put it that way, but same time But it doesn't, I guess stir up enough I don't know. I have no idea. the explanation is not in this report or any place else. NASA's X fifty nine research aircraft is designed to fly at supersonic speeds without producing a loud sonic boom This month, the X fifty nine will fly supersonic in test flights at around forty three thousand feet in altitude. That will be followed by a mission conditions. That's a flight at moC one point four speed and an altitude of roughly fifty five thousand feet. NASA's goals here are to have the aircraft fly over US communities to gather data from the public about its quiet supersonic operations. Now I have to ask the book of Kowledge, why does the X fifty nine aircraft not produce a sonic boom I mean, we can sit here and we could just be yapping at each other, but let's ask the Book of Knowledge who knows all things in the universe. And so here we go According to the Book of Knledge, the X fifty nine reduces sonic booms by shaping acoustic pressure waves preventing shockwaves from merging into a single boom, and creating instead a gentle sonic thumb. Its thirty eight foot extended nose, carefully shaped fuselage, and top mounted engine enine used the aircraft body as a shield to direct and dissipate shockwaves No It has been written written A. Okay, well that's a sonic thump. That's right. A sonic thump. Now that means I would love to have them fly this thing over the Bay Area. Let us know. Yeah And I want to so we can hear the sonic thump. because when I was a kidm When I was a kid living in a centerville There used to be This was pre some point or other you'd hear Sonic booms 'causeuse there was no big deal. It's like, ah yeah, so what And you know, they finally put some laws against it after they I guess it broke a few windows here and there around the country. But It would be a low, I know exactly what a sonic boom sounds like because I was well kind of I rat that It rattles the windows It's a loud boom Boom Yeah And it's like, okay, well that's that was a jet So I want to hear the sonic thump Now, here's the thing. I have been in the Concorde twice. which does create Booms Yeah, That's why I wasn't allowed to fly over much of the country Inside the aircraft, nothing Very good would there be I'm just well You'd think that if it was boom outside, you'd hear it on the inside you don't hear It's a big letdown. like it's like a It's like a good bass note, you know, you can't really hear it near the speakers. But these things are loud, boom in the plane. I mean, I'm in the plane. I thought I would hear it. I remember the pilot. How wasn't a plane that got hit by lightning, you could hear that? Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard, British Airways, Concorde. We'll be j Mark two. Unfortunately there will be no spectacular booms. That is a very comfortable travel. ennjoy yourself. However the plane will elongate by eleven inches in flight? Enjoy That thing, u the thing get longer. that was. Yeah the SR seventy one used to change its size and shape during high speed flight, which is why it leaked gas, jet fuel leak all over that runway because the thing se only sealed up at at speed. So Logan five says, no Adam. This is what troll. You fly faster than the sonic wave that the plane creates. Oh that makes sense Yeah That does make sense. Yes, it does. You know what else makes sense The fact that I w want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the chainsaw weed whacker, say hello to my friend on the other end, everybody, mister John. Yeah R G Mars doingoy the ground thereir sub one of the Dameson Nights out there. It is good to have the noise makers back. Nice You got all your noise back. I've been missing that for months.

We don't make you subscribe to get the bonus content. We also don't have, like tote bags or anything like that. We had them, but they were toxic, so we got rid of them. China. never never no one ever got a tote bag Instead, we just say, hey, what do you think? Did you get any value out of the show? If you did, send some value back to us. We love time, we love talent and we love treasure. And the time and talent part works in many ways. You can do like we had two medical folk wr in. this is very valuable to the show. We appreciate stuff like that In this case, when it comes to the artwork, not only did we get a fun piece of art, we also got a cool movie out of it See, this is what we have to remember. Whenever we choose Saramanga's art, He always makes a cool movie Did you see the little video he did I missed it. It's on the Tweeters Check it out. So we titled the episode the Kennel indndex. How is the kennel, by the way? Is the kennel full? Is it draining? what's I didn't ask. Well, you gotta ask I know it is how indexes work Yes, we have to know can we put some AI into our index? The kennel ind got to put a camera at the kennel. Yes. Yes. There you go. Like the old coffee pot cam Remember back in the day, Oh, we could see the call Bird cam. Bird cams. Bird cams. yes, I had the Empire State cam for a while. U this was done by Francisco Scaramanga. He is an expert in usually babes. It was just too funny what he did. He had this goofy looking dude It's like got a fifties, like madmen type dude all jacked on peptides big no agenda testosterone partot next to him And he's rubbing the cream on his balls, which is a football, a basketball, and a soccer ball accentuated by the text just rub it on your balls. I mean Everybody laughed. Everybody thought this was great I think the fact that he's wearing short white shorts with his leg spread kind of helped Made a little made a little extra gay Um And there were a couple other people who did similar things. Let's see, lookingoo at no agenda art generenerator. com We had o wow, got a lot of screworm stuff for today Um was it? Wow, that's a scrollay. Oh yeah, we had Dare O'Neil Then you of course Darren had a couple of good pieces. There's Also way A Corn had the tea bag. We like that. It was a close runner up. Yeah, the te bag was second. Yeah, I would say. close runner up. That would be second U, and that was a lot of women made to smile And they were pretty good too, but just nothing quite as good as a Saramangus piece I thought that was we loved it. We really did. It was we laughed. Did we laugh out loud or did we laugh out loud I think we laugh out loud. I think we lolled for sure. It was It was silly, silly. And that's what we love about it. We love silly. That's great Now in the treasure department, This is where you can go to no agendaonations. com and we really appreciate it when people do that And you can send us whatever you think the show is worth. People love numerology. and of course, we don't really know what's valuable to you. You know, five dollars may be a lot of money to you. Well, we appreciate that just as much as someone who sends dollars hundred dollars because that may be different for them. It's value for value. somehow it all kind of evens out. It's a bit of a roller coaster this international lifestyle, but it evens out and we feel good about it Um I love the The spammer we have on O our no agenda Insta who was telling us I never understand this Donations will go up if you tell everybody that Tucker should be president. He's the true representative of MAGA And the far left and the far right have to get on board with everything anti Israel. I mean, do people really think that that works Can you imagine thinking that Tucker I mean, Ler Carlson doesn't want to be president I mean, may may be talked into running, but it's a's a farce and they're associating him with like Spencer Pratt and Trump because you have o, you got these guys that they didn't have any experience. Trump has been running for president since the nineteen eighties. He's talked about it yed y Yeah new book, new book. I'm running for president for at least sixteen years before he actually ran Yeah And so then And it was predicted by the Simpsons. I mean, it wasn't like some surprise and and he's always been somewhat political. The other guys that are high profile is people like Ronald Reagan who is high profile, but he was a governor of California. Okay, let's discount that. He was the head of the of of the sccreen actctors guuild, I believe And he was a left winger turn right winger, which a lot of these guys do that And Spencer Pratt has got a bone to pick Please very dedicated to trying to fix Los Angeles. It's just a mayorial thing. It's not a big deal in terms of like national spotlight, like Tucker being president. It's stupid. Let me let me read this guy's post his comment verbatim. was pretty funny The Israel issue is going to drastically reduce donations I've been listening to No agenda since Obama, and it's hard to hear them sound so out of touch Ancient boomers every time the ancients Ancient boomers every time everyvery time the Israel issue comes up. Israel is the most important issue of times. John and Adams seem to like the idea of Rubio for president instead of Tucker, which is insane. The next president must be actively anti Israel, not anti Jewish people, just anti Israel Yeah. and this guy's riding constantly Oh yeah, he's a troll. Well, can't you block him I mayaybe Jay would know. Not that you should. I mean, I think it's hilious. I'm not gonna block him. He's okay. I mean I think it's hilarious. addding some demand. I told him the same. tell I told Jade is the is the our social media person. Well Jade is more than our social media person. No, but that's no that's one of her jobs. Yeah. And so she's doing the whole thing. In And I told her when you get these things. what does I say about this guy She says, this guy's annoying. And so I said was and I said And I wrote a little diddy up for her to just keep posting, which is a reference to the no agenda mission Yes. miss goo to no agendas showhow. net and read the mission statement You'll find a link to it And that is that's the answer We don't remote anybody for president we think Rubio is going to be the president. That's not we're not ' not taking part in his campaign No No Let let me read the mission statement. Where is our mission statement? You sure it's on there Of course it is. Where's the mission statement? It's down. Go to the bottom and it has all those links at the bottom. You see the mission statement You know You say that? it's on the left. I'm looking at the left I'm looking at the left. There's no at the bottom. I'm looking at the Oh, no agenda mission statement. Here we go. Oh my goodness Who wrote this? I this before I had you put it there. The agenda No agenda is is a podcasting LLC, whoa Whose goal is to deconstruct the news media to reveal slanted stories and the reasoning for slanted or misleading reporting The purpose is not to critique or discredit news reports, but through media deconstruction to find the actual underlying story to give the audience a realistic understanding of current affairs and events and provide a normalized objective understanding of them Now unfortunately People don't like what we conclude, some people. No agenda has no political motivations and does not and does no original reporting, but does do original research on stories as needed. On occasion, the show will read and disseminate what it calls boots on the ground reporting, which replaces letters to the editor, Dear Abby and is used as background information. In some cases, outsiders will be contacted to clarify a facts to improve analysis. These boots on the ground reports are provided by the audience of producers who voluntarily contribute these messages to the show There's a lot more here that's right We have adopted an open source approach to its content and trademark name Notice allowing third parties to leverage the show produce related products such as branded t shirts and mugs This also means that anyone can post the final proded show on their own sites. Yes, that's right. That's right. correct I'm all in It's very good That's our mission statement. and go read the whole thing, people, it's worth it So that is the time and talent Now we love the treasure, obviously. so it keeps it keeps the fires burning here at HQ And we always thank everybody who sends us fifty dollars or more. Of course, we see the spreadsheet, we see everybody under fifty dollars, but there's a lot of people who don't want to be mentioned. So for anonymity and brevity's sake, we don't do all of those But we do thank people, specifically those who are able to send us two hundred dollars or more between two and three hundred Not only are we guaranteed to read your note, but we will also give you the title of Associate Executive prodroucer. And three hundred dollars or more gets you an executive producership, which you can see thousands of people have done by going to MDb d. com. You can also search for it on LinkedIn, Twitter.
