Value for Value and Podcast Decentralization

It's delicious. Adam Curry, John Cy DeVora. It'unday july fifth, twenty twenty six. This is your award winning Gibne Nation Media Assassination episode eighteen eighty three. This is no agenda. Still no baby. But we're broadcasting live from Museum Square here in the heart of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I can tell you that on behalf of public broadcasting, in case you didn't know, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. I'm John C. DeVorak. Yes, it's a scandal I tell you. It was scandal. Scandal Oh boy. Hey, John, I'm still here in the socialist slash communist country of the Netherlands And how you doing there? You know There's a couple problems here. And first of all, we had a really nice reunion with the family. It was great It's nice to see everybody Half of my nephews are socialists they say it say But did they greet each other with comrade? Uncle Adam, I'm a socialist. See ye, that's why you're poor. Yes, that's true Now, they are very angry, and they are angry at two things. The main things they're angry about since you asked is hydration breaks Yeah, I can see that. They you're taking the entire energy out of the game I say, yeah, but you know, this is this is you got to We gott to live with it. This is how we're going to make soccer bigger. We don't need football, football, football, not soccer, football To be bigger.'s okay Are you mad because you're out of the game and America's still in it? Is that the problem here No That would be an issue.. That's a sore spot. I don't know why you'd say that so talking to my brother in law And He he runs u pretty big section of a publisher of magazines, which is obviously I think one of them is still print but the rest are online and In fact, you the largest magazine in the eighties and nineties when I was here was Veronica magazine. was the magazine of the Veronica Broadcast Corporation that I was a part of, where I started my career. And that magazine had Over a million subscribers in the nineties How many people do you think still subscribe digitally, digitally to the magazine couple of hundred thousand ninety thousand And it's still one of the biggest publications here in the country And he says, Hhen Now he's not a socialist. He is He is very pro Trump, conservative, which is an anomaly, which is nice Although an anomaly for someone to be so open about it I saidays, Oh yeah because they also own a number of the big newspapers in the country The journalist and the management literally come to work with Palestinian flags and Kfies He brother. Yeah. He says we're lost. He says we're lost. We're lost. But then it was interesting. because he says, you know Uh But it's obvious that uh, you know, Putin'sh Putin's in trouble now I said, what Oh yeah, no, Putin is clearly, he's in trouble now with, you know, they're losing terrain and Ukraine is winning. I said, bro, is that what they're writing I'm not so sure about that So that was good And then We had a great Uber driver And u And so he's in a Tesla course because you can't drive a gasoline powered car in Amsterdam anymore. It has to be electric. And we're chatting and 's like, o, you're from America. Are you from Texas? this young guy. you're from Texas. Oh I like G lots of guns. Yeah, Yeah, T Tin is the first one. Oh, yeah, I like my guns. Yeah, okay. So kind of set the tone And he's like, oh you have Tesla there. I said, No, I'm not a big fan of Tesla. But it's American.' Elon says, No, don't like, You're right. Battery car sucks. I hate it. I suck it sucks, but we have to drive it And he goes on and on like this And then he's like, okay, I want to ask you a question. please Don't be offended. he's like a Turkish Dutchman, so he has a bit of a Turkish accent. Don't be offended. That's what you're doing. What trying to do there? And believe me, I'm nailing. wondering what the hell it was. I'm nailing it. I'm glad you gave you clarified. I needed to clarify that, yes He says okay I don't want to be upset. just I have a question. Let me guess. is this about Trump? Yes Did you a vote for him So yeah, we voted for him. I'm just like, we'll just go all out. Yeah, we voted for him. We love him Yeah, but Most Americans, if I ask them They say, I don't want to talk about it. We don't talk about who I voted for. I said, Oh, that means they voted for Trump. They're afraid to say it S no no And they's like, o for Trump, h yeah He's like, you know I'm thirty years old. And u There's no housing. I still live with my parents. said I can't get a house because our government gives it to the immigrants. I understand they have a horrible country. They need a safe place to come to. They need a safe place to live. This is comrade. I understand, but they give them house, they give them money, they give them car, they give them everything. And I' living with my parents I say, well there you go. Yes, we need someone like Trump here Every single time, every single time They all think it's great and then they're like,, you know, we really need someone like Trump here So this it's everyone's u pressed here.' they're They are they're beaten down. and you know, the guys I don't vote anymore. Why not? Because that make any difference It says they're just there to pretend. It says tell me a story, but they never it never changes. Do You vote right, you vote left, doesn't make any difference. So it's kind of sad. to see it Um And I think, wow,, we have such a great country. We got our problems. Well Ifate you missed the big show. Well, I tuned into as much as possible Well, can I explain a little bit what happened? Yes, please. please get in First of all, Trump is does is a showman and this show was And he had to do the show because he had all these veterans and old men and everybody coming up there and he had to put on a spectacle by setting all kinds of records in the biggest ever. Yeah three hundred seventy five thousand until they got struck by lightning and had to move out. This is on the mall, right? Not the Yeah. And then they came back Most people came back and this school was a big audience. But what was interesting was was Trump's speech was pretty good It wasn't funny really, but it was it was It was it was a good speech But it was this Sh And it was the eight hundred fifty thousand eight hundred fifty one thousand shells circling the whole place that went on for thirty eight minutes and then lightning came or thunder came back and started raining and it washed the crap out of the air, which was an interesting nice phenomenon. Yeah. But it was this band This guy and no one credited him. I'll tell you it was Colonel Scott McKinzy who heads up to Army band. Yeah. they put together a and I've looked at I tried to get the details on this and I can't get any numbers other than threeree hundred to three hundred and fifty pieces Orchestra No way ook at us. Oh, thats I did not see any of that. Oh, I'm sad about that. It was a joint It was a joint band where he picked from the best of the best of all the best musicians in all the armed forces. Oh, it must have been great. Put this tremendous it was essentially justust room. Just for comparison's sake, a symphony orchestra like San Francisco is one hundred and five people This was like a symphony with a thousand saxophones. awesome. And he had he was ax this guy's a saxophonist himself And Th these arrangements, they did cover songs of Chicago and Journey and Oh all these all these songs and they were just so well arranged and you can tell they obviously had to segment this orchestra. So you know, some Part of it would play a rock a rockcus tune with a lot of guitars and then there'd be the saxophone stuff. And they had these four singers which were all and I They were dressed in military the dumpiest, frumpiest military uniforms I think there' three women and one bald guy. Oh no. they were terrific singers but they didn't have any would come out in uniforms But not cool uniforms That Fumpy. No, no, they're just just a dress whites. Well, okay. Yeah. So there was frumpy looking. Frumpy It was funny. There's no Shakira, let's put it that way. It was just straight up and it was something charming about it because you had this big military band, which you couldn't do. This is the where Trump understands the power of big government You can put together a three hundred piece orchestra If it's government. Yeah. Exactly. You can afford to do it. You can afford to do it because it doesn't cost anything really. But you can't do that in the private sector. So he went all the way with this. And it was like It's just fabulous And and but you know, nobody credited this unbelievable band Just to compare it to what we could expect, I have a couple of clips. Okay that might give us some insight of what was going on First of all, the fireorage play this clip. NPR had to find some way to throw a wet blanket on course before it of course it sucked. It's no good orange m. They made it sound like it's going to be, you know, they actually were pretty objective about it to the very end. Listen to this report, Fireworks in DC. And just quickly, Jeff, the fourth of July in DC isn't complete without fireworks. I gather this one tonight will be big and then some Yeah, this is going to be huge. eight hundred fifty thousand fireworks for a roughly forty minute show, according to the Washington Post. That's absolutely massive compared to, as you know, the quite extensive fireworks DC has on every fourth of July. According to the post, it could cause air quality issues actually. Air quality was al very unhealthy and people with respiratory issues may need to stay inside or wear masks. You might notie you worked on it, nice. So just by comparison, the San Francisco Yeah cl Yeah, it wasn't climate it was air pollution. Yeah. So San Francisco by comparison, they had they lit up the Golden Gate Bridge. It was not availableice anybody. Did't set it on fire? or that was the Brooklyn Bidge I'm sor Well, the local the local exhibit, which was a bigger show than usual, was five thousand shells Wow. That's a big show. Yeah So eight one hundred and fifty one. That crazy. That's crazy Yeah, again, this is Trump. Let's go man. And it Mur set the Guinness Book of World Records for fireworks display Biggest ever. Yeah. I saw all the flybys 'cause that was in the afternoon. Flybys, yeah. it was Flybys were cool He's like, this is amazing. What is going on here Yeah, Of course I couldn't watch anything on YouTube TV Because, oh, you're in a different country I'm like, I'll get you when I turn off my GPS. I'm going to turn I got my VPN routed through my home computer. you're in a different country, you can't was it. So I had to get some like C span streaming on YouTube YouTube TV.. It was really sad was the best present. Yeah. Yeah, but they don't don' not all them were streaming live on YouTube. So you had to kind of hunt around and then you get the RBTV, which is that outfit that always follows Trump everywhere Oh yeah, yeah, haven't seen them for. youun in right away. So you're from California. How bad does that suck? I'm like, Okay, man, this is fourth of July. Stop with that There was too much All right, so what else you got? Fireworks on Facebook? What is that? This is an interesting. This is a local story because Locally we had since it was fogged in And all the best fireworks displays are just some guy in his backyard. Yeah O is always witing c It's always a winner. Yeah. Yeah I'm sure in Texas it'd be a little more spectacular than what we get. They're trying to crack down with huge fines and everything in between. And so when I was a kid, here used to We used it Buy fireworks from Dick various Chinese grocery stores in Oakland. Or San Francisco too. You'd go there and you'd have code words and the next thing you know that guy would bring out a bunch of stuff Well now it turns out that they're selling the fireworks over Facebook And this is a local story that I thought was kind of interesting. It's almost the fourth of July, And though fireworks are illegal in the vast majority of the Bay Area, you've probably already heard or seen some in your neighborhood. So where are all those fireworks coming from? Reporter Darwin Bond Graham with the Oakland Side looked into it, and he joins me now for more. So you start your story that was published this week with an example of a recent Oakland police raid that had a bunch of illegal fireworks. Tell us about what happened there and how that connects to the trends you're finding in your reporting. Yeah, this was a case of a person who was dealing a large quantity of fireworks out of their home in East Oakland. They were advertising them over social media. and that's how the police kind of caught onto this When they ended up conducting a search warrant at this person's house, they found over two thousand pounds of fireworks in the backyard, a very large quantity for a residential neighborhood. It sounds like social media has made it even easier for fireworks sellers to find buyers. Is there any way for police to keep up with those ads? Yeah, that's right. It's like the main way that a lot of the sellers appear to be marketing these products is over Facebook and Instagram and other social media. they post these kind of cryptic pictures of fireworks and then they get into these DMs with people who want to buy them. and then they'll know meet people in a parking lot or have them come to their house or you know somewhere else to sell them. The police are actively scanning social media. So there's a lot of sheriff's deputies officers from different police departments who are looking on Instagram and kind of lurking around and seeing what they can find. And that's how they're getting a lot of their leads here to figure out who these people are Of course. Yeah, right, they're doom scrolling. and this is what their exccususe is I'm looking for illegal activity. Yeah. Yeah, I found something. Oh yeah Well there were actually I caught this We got some clips from Miz now who really they should just shut that operation down Um This's getting worse. Douglas Brinkley, he's historian, I think, isn't he? Brinkley? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, so he he noticed You need to be a historian that there were really w different Americas and two different speeches from two different luminaries this fourth of July. Well, there were two very different speeches. Both were playing with the idea of American exceptionalism. Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore was talking about we're exceptional. and now we've got to drive the communist out of the country basasically r stoking a red scare, something that kind of speech Joe McCarthy would have easily given Madami is reflecting back on a question. Did McCarthy really give big speeches about the comommies, or was he just the guy who had the commission and was going after him? Did he do big speeches about it He was front and center to Diatribes, let's put it that way. I wouldn't call them big speeches. Okay. Ellis Island and the tradition in New York of becoming a naturalized citizen. He's born in Uganda. When asked, he says I can't have presidential ambitions. The Constitution says I can't because I was born in Uganda and here it is july fourth, Alexander Hamilton, one of the great The Revolutionary War era had the same issue. He served his country in every way possible to George Washington. And as we know, his role in the Constitution and the federalist papers and the like, but he could never run for president. But they're a naturalized citizen Mandami was talking about, and it reminds us that we keep refreshing ourselves in this country Having new waves of immigrants and is that is the American dream and that is what makes America exceptional. Now, there was a lot of this refreshing talk everywhere. So I kind of like what he did here. Trump is like McCarthy and Mandami is like Hamilton. I mean, it's so obvious Yeah fact they have I have to interrupt that. I have the Mandami clips I have them Do you have this one Well, let me do Trump first. these are relatively short. This is from the mall. At two hundred and fifty years, America is the oldest repepublic on earth. We are the I'm sorry, this is from Mount Rushmore. The freest people on earth. We have by the way, just s you didn't hear both of them. I did. I have the other ones too Okay, the other one I thought was a little more was a little less disorganized I thought he was okay here. I mean it yeah, it was okay. It was a righteous and enduring constitution on earth We are the strongest and most powerful country on earth And by the grace of God, the United States of America is the most successful, most accomplished, most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history. And it is great to be your president That is great And then this is the communist trope. You can be loyal to Carl Markx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who Pedal Marxist lies about our heritage tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors They're doing something much worse than slandering our past They are slandering and attacking our future. Not gonna let that happen.ot gonna do it. I'll do two more from them allall and then you'll play them on downow me. This country is the home of freedom. This is the land of liberty. and this is a flag. that's the banner of the most extraordinary, most exceptional, most incredible nation ever to exist on the face of the earth, and we're doing better now than we've ever done before People have done more good You've shown more courage, made more progress, wred more injustice, or achieved more greatness than you, the American people. For two hundred fifty years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us he's a rebel rser. We have thrived and flourished because our founders were great Our cause was just, ourur people are brave, our culture is exceptional, and our destiny is written by God As we can see here tonight, after two hundred and fifty years, the Sirit of seventeen seventy six still lives within us all. It still roars in the hearts of our nation's capitol. It still burns in the heart of every patriot It thunders through every city and town and it still lights the entire world with the glow of American liberty. and there is nothing like that At two hundred and fifty years old, we may be the oldest constitutional republic on eararth, but our country is just getting started because the best is yet to come. There you go. And it's kind of, you know, when you hear like, we're the oldest, we've done this And I look at the cobblestones on the streets here in Amsterdam, and some of them are older than America ' unbelieve. We're not a very old country. two hundred and fifty years is pretty nice. We're just getting started. The Roman Empire wentin for a. We're just time. There you go, John. We're just getting started. The best is yet to come And In fact Well, not to just jump the gun on this It has led, I mean, all these two hundred and fifty years of American exceptionalism. American exceptionalism It has led thanks to the education system to this clip, which is to whatever girls nine. What country did the United States gain its independence? This is not fair. Europe. I can't. Who was the first president of the USA? Oh, o, He had a top hat. Yeah. They always say Lincoln. What's his name? What's his name? Abraham Lincoln. Okay. What do you think? Yeah Lincoln. I think it's Lincoln too. they go into that top hat. Lincoln, what country is the Great Wall of China in Tokyo What language do the people in Idaho speak? Poy without. Idahoian. How many years are in a decade, Gemma? twwelve? How many are in a century? five hundred. What is the closest star to Earth? Okay, relax. Fido The North star. The suun. Oh the sun. No Lone star. What country is the Panama Canal in? Yeah Portugal. Okay, you're not allowed to do this. You are jumping the gun. You're like making a mist. No The funny thing is is when that one girl asks answer, what's the closest star, She says the sun which is. It is cl is correct And two or three of the other girls mocked her for being an idiot Well, this is this is part of the genius of America that even if you have clearly Only four or five functioning brain cells, you can still make a living on onlyly fans So we're a great country. What What are you complaining about? This is complaining. I think great. I agree with you a hundred percent. Okay. All right. Okay, let's get back to We have a jobs program for everybody here We You have a Mandami clip? I have aple Mandami. Yeah, I have a couple of a couple of just shorties that I pulled out Well let thiss play mine first is Okay. It may set the stage. All right. Hey guys, it's your mayor. C me Maman. since we're a communists and we don't have electricity for everyone, except for ourselves. We would really appreciate it. If you can go ahead and set your AC to a special mode called off mode. Also, it would be great if you could also stop eating because we don't have food for everyone. So if you're fat, please eat once every other day. If you're kind of fat, you can eat once a day And if you're skinny,'re probably white so you don't get to eat anything. If you have any pets, please bring them into city halls so we can feed our Asian immigrants. Well, I'm off to enjoy Taylor Swift's wedding, so later comrades. Programmatically, I think you made a mistake by playing two nutball clips back to back. It's okay. it's like one comic following another. Programmatically, I wouldn't have advised that Some of the real clips from his fourth of july. That wasn't real? We are told that America is exceptional becausecause we are richer Stronger more powerful than everyone else The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional becausecause here Nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed We may have walked on the moon But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence That work endures. and it belongs to us all. It belongs too to our newest Americans. Those standing here with me today all of whom were recently naturalized neearly a decade ago I too felt what you feel The joy of no longer being just a New Yorker but an American too. Okay, so he starts off reasonably okay. You each hold a special power. Well, hold on Reasonably okay, he's stiff This is the worst speech he could have done. He was not relaxed He was behind the George Washington desk, I guess. No and he has a bunch of stiff standing around him that don't look like they're very comfortable or know what the hell they're even doing there It was terrible. No, It wasn't great. It wasn't very energetic, but you know, he only got a little cmy later. You each hold a special power power to determine what America means. See this is This is like, what do you mean? What what are we going? whereere are we going with this The powerful have always known their answer America, in their view is an arena of supremacy. Aha, the powerful supremacy, Whitey. O only a select few are allowed freedom We're not all are created equal I mean, this is this is going downhill pretty quick America, if you ask it deteriorates very fast. Yeah, I can see, man, come on. White supremacy we were not created equal. o. There you go. America, if you ask them becomes less the more people it welcomes. What is? Where does he get this from America, they will tell you belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin The rest of us says this. But this is this is this is what he's doing. This is I found this to be quite An American, actually The rest of us they insist should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit how small they are. a week How unorigginal You are small and weak Whatriginal Unorriginal. What do we see We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world O where children go to sleep hungry. while the world's first triillionaire hungers for more U swipe it Elon We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections We see mask agents terrorizing our oligarch. Yeah, o no. oligarchs. listen, know the oligarch thing was every consultant on the Democrat side said don't do that. tellells them to stop using that word It doesn't mean anything and nobody knows what the hell you're talking. I think it's oil. They really don't know. We see monopolies that dominate every industry. and oligarchs who buy elections Yeah, who dominates podcasting We see masked agents terrorizing our streets eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vance. This is the one I thought was the best. So that was funny. So the agents you go, hey, can you cook me something before I take you away We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with callist Dird Street Tents Those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead and the soft hands of a precious f Again with this soft hands because they don't work. so this you know just soft hands, like a podcast are soft hands. All right, last one. There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain Love it or leave it, they say But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws Patriotism is every act of righteous assent It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time. It is precisely Because we love this nation that we will not leave it. After all, who loves America more than those who have sacrificed so much to make it free Well, so fine. But there was a lot of this A lot of this talk everywhere of Um, you know It's our turn now. We're going to change it, which is very much the the DSA way, the Marxist way, you know, like whatever the the the candidate now in New York like we're we're going to get rid of the presidency. We'll just have a like a steering committee, all these other steering committees things. Exactly. This is Cherlyn Eiffel, who is Gwen. We love Gwen, Eiffel. In hindsight, we never gave her enough props h, because once she left u Was it PBS? It was yeah, it was a newewsHour. Yeah, newewsour. Once she left, NewsHour just fell apart. It turns out she was the one holding it together. Yeah, you don't know until somebody one cog leaves, the next thing you know the place falls apart. you didn't know at the time. When we say leave, she died So this is your niece and listen to this. And so I remind people that we were founded a second time We will need to be founded a third time And it's on us And that's the exciting part. We get to be the founders and the framers of the new iteration of American democracy. What? If we're willing to do it There's nothing that stops us from doing it And so that's the opportunity of this moment. We hit two hundred fifty and then we needed to restart again. And so that's the work that is before us Cheryln Eifel is the former president of the legal defense firm. She is now at Howard University Law School. Yeah, yes, we need more lawyers like that So so I remember now I have I was young, of course, nineteen seventy six. so I was twelve years old. I remember our bicentennial. I have only fond memories of it and I found a video of man on the street being as Oh yes, this is good. Yeah. And so I split it up into two parts and we don't have to play the positive one, but the negative one So this is just all the people. It sounds the same A art. our negativity that we have elements of severe negativity in America They have the same complaints So Yeah, and I should remind people that this was se nineteen seventy six. whichich I recall. We were there. I was in the middle of working for the air poollution district There was the it was just Watergate was wrapping up and Nixon was a terrible person. We're ready to go into the Jimmy Carter era. We're right in the middle. of what was the equivalent of the Great Depression of the thirties with interest rates percent. Yeah And And unemployment super high. That's when the idea of stagflation was peaking right about the time of the the bicentennial. Funny en. So it was not a good time And we didn't we just have the energy crisis too? Exactly. Yeah, the energy crisis just wrapped OPEC was now, you know, telling everybody what to do.. Yeah, it was not the timing was it was a And me, I'm surprised anyone had anything good to say. Nixon had taken all our gold Um The dollar was in free floating currency that happened a few years earlier fununny enough, in this archival footage People weren't really complaining about that too much. They had, you know the same typical complaints. Right now we don't have a great deal to celebrate. I feel that it might leave a lot of people out. For me, it doesn't have any real significant Which meaning, I mean, what's the difference between one hundred and ninety nine years or two hundred and one years? I don't really have any particular feel about two hundred years. Somehow, I feel that it's like a big fad. You know, the bicentennial hass been kind of a dirty word here in Philadelphia and throughout the country, I think In many ways, the bicentennial is just being fabricated. This country is faced with so many problems. I just can't stand aside and say, hip hip, horray for the bicentennial. Well, after Watergate, the morale of the country's low concerned that Bicentennial is ' still saying things that We're okay ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, but I don't know if they're okay now At this point in this day I really don't see any advantage of the bicentennial. If att the time of the Bicentennial, we still have, you know eight percent unemployment. Eight percent, John. We have what is it three point four percent right now unemployment? Around four. According to the numbers, those numbers may have changed. I can't see any reason too go around patting ourselves in the back for having just survived two centuries There's a lot of divisions here in the United States. used to be called a melting fight. I don't know what's happening here, you know, Maybe the compounds are beginning to separate again and the people in the United States are diverging again. So We're endorsing the Declar of Independence on july fourth, nineteen seventy six, But you know, an associated press has done a study in Miami where they gave out the Declaration of Independence and didn't say what it was and asked people if they would endorse it Only one person out of fifty on a Miami street corner would endorse the declaration. You know what they said? Why? they wouldn't endorse it? This is Commy Junk, the work of a raver. I'm going to tell the FBI about this kind of stuff. See, you' whatever girls have no hold, no lock on idiocy. We've always been dumb. So these are the kinds of problems that we face. We have strayed so far from the original conception of what patriotism and love of country is That we now believe that everything that this country stood for is subversive. No one wears American flag with pelkins anymore. if you notice? People have lost faith. People don't know what patriotism is anymore. I think maybe the best thing for this country is nineteen seventy five being interternational Women's Ye, even more than nineteen seventy six being bicentennial, you know, because I think maybe women should have a larger say in really what happens in this world our basic loving tendencies, you know, rather than let's beat each other's heads in to get what we want. You know, let's love each other. you know let's not kill each other. I think we've done already enough Enough buildings and enough covering the Eth with concrete. your climate change, dude. and destroyed enough and nurture our ro that maybe progress is regress. I'd like to see the bicentennial deal with the kind of future I think we're going to have. and I think it's going to be a sort of troubled future. We are not necessarily the greatest people that ever existed on this earth. We. We've broken down. We have to rebuild. No, we're going to rebuild on the basis of adversity, whether you like it or not. Are we going to have more and more of everything? No, For a long period now, we're going to have less and less of everything. Yeah, well of course, the opposite is true. We had the eighties The nineties and then we ran into trouble again. It's a cycle. Yeah, the nineties were really prosperous. But I don't hear anything really different from the complaints we get today. You know, it's the same So we rouse a bit. And maybe it's just the media. Maybe the mediaouse a bit. The media picks the same people. That's my ultimate conclusion The media picks the same people. although NPR really tried They this some boss. I got an idea We'll do a segment and we'll have lot of people record their answers on their cell phone and send it in and we'll air it all the way boss J just as contrasted because I know what you're going to play because I saw that or heard it too Bill Hammer was at the fireworks display and afterwards, as people were streaming out, they were doing a live feed And this was just peopleeople leaving And he would just go up to L feed personers after person after person after person. And if you took all that stuff and put it together, it was nothing but positive In fact, it was it was ridiculously positive. And so you so your point about and I think this is This is true and I think we both everybody suffers from it if you're in the media Yeah, you you you know, when you go out there, there's the positive stuff's not that interesting. It's just a bunch of people saying this was great. I love Trump. Can't have that. Stop that imed. Stop that. The Fox people are probably even like, o, we gott to do some negativity here So they asked swing voters if they were proud of their imperfect America. And now W, man, I'm so sorry. I screwed up my screwed up my Laper and Sucitash. I'm Scott. I screwed up my own jingle Simon and now More voices of our fellow Americans and PR has undertaken a project that we call swing Shift. It follows a dozen voters in swing states and Paris Senior pololitical correspondent, Tama' Keith checking in with them periodically on gas prices. Their opinion on how the president's doing and today and how they feel about America on its two hundred fiftieth birthday Hello Tamera. This is John from Pennsylvania. I sent John and the other swingshift voters a list of questions about America two hundred and fifty years in. And they sent back thoughtful answers recorded on their phones. Question is, are you proud to be an American? Why or why not The answer is yes, I am proud to be an American. It's a very imperfect country There's a lot that still needs to be worked on, a lot that still needs to be done. And still, he's proud. they all are, with varying levels of nuance Yes, I am and always have been proud to be. I would still say yes here, but with some slight embarrassment. I'm proud to be an American. This is the greatest country on the planet Earth. We live in the best country in the world. You know, We have democracy. We have freedom. I do have some pride to be an American. However, I also have a lot of shame. Why wouldn't be proud to be an American? I mean, we live in one of the best countries in the world. That was Jason, Walli, Gerald, Theeresa, Evan, and Lee The NPR agreed not to use their full name so they can speak freely about politics in these polarized times. And I think that is a clue that they give us there The minute you let people speak anonymously And then the truth comes out Yeah, I'm proud to be America It's a pretty good country. That's all right. Oh's a li of shame. In general, it sounds like people are optimistic Weople are quite sure if she had at least one besides the guy said I feel some shame. She had enough she would have put it in the report She just didn't have it So That was you kind of likeike you said, you experienced this kind of in an off handed way there and in Holland when driver. asked people who they voted for and they wouldn't say and you said they voted for Trump. Yeah. but they whichich is probably true But they wouldn't say it because it wasn't anonymous Exactly And and and the driver was it was interesting. He's like I love it here because we just say who we voted for. And I think we're pretty clear in America too. think What I feel is that Americans come over. and first of all, why are they over here They hear for business or they hear, you to run away from evil orange man and they just don't want to say it. I don't know. It's u But media wise in the United States, the minute it's anonymous, then the truth comes out. you had a second piece here. The final question I asked was for one word or phrase that explains how they feel about America's future. These swing voters are uncertain, concerned, hopeful, worried, excited, and cautiously optimistic And then there's Lee who has a new job. and his optimism is unqualified. I think we're going have a good Hold on a second His optimism is unqualified Well Technically, what she's saying is that Everybody else had qualified optimism Which means that you yeah, I'm optimistic, but who has a new job, and his optimism is unqualified I think we're going to have a good future because why wouldn't we I don't know. I think she's just saying that guy's an idiot. it can't be right sounds like one. That can't be right. So then we switch over to Em as now, Ms Now And we have let's see, Representative Houffman And of course, MS now was all over the set up to the House being taken over by Democrats for the impeachment of Trump. Yeah, a lot of this is in the jurisdiction of the Natural Resources Committee. and so our oversight and investigation team has undertaken a year long investigation That really I think should upset every American because our country only turns two hundred and fifty years old once. We were on track for a broadly unifying national celebration with serious folks like the Smithsonian leading the programming, Congresswnrisk set up this commission Spare that with Trump the showman. Oh, the Smithsonian is going to. Can you imagine slavery horrible thing y with serious folks like the Smithsonian leading the programming. Congress set up this commission to be insulated from politics, to really be above politics And it was going to be louold I think that fireworks are above politics. Yeah band playing a bunch of hot songs. Well, but this with a big sx section is above ball. actually He's actually leading into something which is a topic you brought to our. tension several weeks ago. And it was going to be a lot like what many of us experienced in nineteen seventy six, something that we could all feel good about our government leading instead. Not every you've already proven that wrong. Not everybody. Donald Trump hijacked, and made it all about himself and his vanity projects, his political agenda All of these endless schemes to enrich himself and his crownies. Erich So with America with freedom two hundred fifty Freedom two hundred fifty, he enriched himself and all of his cronies. Yes, this is a scandal. Congressman, it's Sam Stein here. The report that you put out today really looks at whether money was misdirected and if donors were misinformed about where their money was going assuming they were giving to the conongressionally mandated committee and then it turns out they were giving to the Trump related committee. This is sort of a reoccurring pattern. I know you've been focused on the triumphal arch that he's trying to build out in Virginia Um But we just don't know the sourceces of the money, how he's spending the money, where the money's going, and who it's going to in a lot of these cases Can you speak in broad strokes about what you know as someone who does have jurisdiction over this and what you would like to find out Yeah, this report pulls back the veil on how they hid a lot of this from public scrutiny And they started out with an attempt to take over that bipartisan commission that Congress created. When that failed, they went to planlan B, which is this elaborate mechanation where they set up a shadow company, Freedom two hundred fifty LLC. They housed it within a beloved charity, the National Park Foundation over at the Department of Interior, and they did it in a way that all of their fundraising and other activities would be insulated from public view. And so they started shaking down and misleading donors, soliciting foreign contributions. They siphoned off the resources of the bipartisan Commission that Congress authorized And they did it all in this veil of secrecy through Freedom two hundred fifty. So this is the The organization that that Silicon Valley guy, the Indian guy put together Rke something or other was his name. Yeah, I don't recall his name. So all of this secrecy, he fleece the donors It I looked it up, It's public. I read the documents, mana'am And it's Raytheon. it's north of Gruman. it's all the military industrial complex. It's the usual suspect. Coca Cola. I mean, it's not like they didn't fleece any donors. They said, hey, Trump went over and they said,y, listen You' like these contracts? you know, chip in, man. make America look good Pay something for the all Oh no, this is he just enriched himself and his cronies. Yeah, Coca Cola Conies. He drinks a lot of. Conies are Raytheon. How' the money coming from Raytheon to it Well, I guess it does enrich them because they get a contract. somewhere down the road that they would have gotten anyway. Who else are you going to contract some of these Patriot missile banks too. which are the only ones who make them. Which we sold the Dutch seven hundred of them as an aside. The Dutch Oh Raytheans goodood for that. They bought seven hundred p I think it was Patriots to give what? to give to Ukraine Literally give to Ukraine. know know how you pay for it With a freedom tax There's a new freedom tax in Holland Because we're protecting youritit me, let me get this straight. Dutch people been suckered into paying a freedom tax to give Our company, Raytheon money to buy missiles that then they would then give away. Yep to Ukraine. Yes. And then they tell the media Putin's in trouble It's working people. It's for your freedom tax money is working Wow. But this is so this talk though is all part of the. Well that deal, this sub R to Ruta. It's our guy. Ruta. That's what he is. He's done his job. You Trimp, you are the trillion dollar Trimp. You did it again, man, it's great So Ty Cobb, who used to be a White House lawyer He's now grabbing the bowl by the horns because we have to set everything up because we're going to have And your thesis and you probably won't be wrong, but I still took the other side of the bet because there's two of us If the Democrats take the House in the midterms, they will immediately move to impeach the president. And this is what they are hammering is enrichment of his cronies himself and he's clearly crooked. How for now Tyi Kobbi is a former Trump White House lawyer. Ty, Pret interesting there when you look at that chart and how much Trump has made and how much everyone else has lost. What is your reaction to thisle of what we're seeing in What How Trump made how much everyone else has lost? This is the best part. Wh lost what? Well, so that they show the chart of the meme coin of the Trump coin Wh You know, it's exactly what it is. You sell you make a million of these Trump coins or however many they made. It's an ICO. Everyone knows how it works. There's tens of thousands of them. and you sell them. everybody buys them and the price goes up. And then you know, he dumps all of the insider stuff that they have, which is another ten million And then you put that in your pocket and then the market goes down. and everyone else lost and you won. That is exactly. losts I see. Exactly how it's been working for you know for a decade, almost. This disclosure. of how much Trump is earning from these crypto ventures? overver a billion dollars last year alone, right? This isn't a cumulative number. It's in one year An industry he's actively promoted and supported and done policy executive orders related to, is it legal I don't believe so. Certainly, I don't think it was contemplated by the founders when they created the emilliams cllause. I do think that one of the line items, of course, is the commemorative coins, know several hundred million dollars of income related to those coins. How can that be anything other than trading on his image and likeness Yes, the image and likeness' built up for for what forty years. Yeah. and I think this all launched before he became sixty years Well yeah, yeah. In violation of the emmolliuments Clause. It's in violation of the Is the emmolluments Clause Is that in violation of the emmolluments Cause? The Emoleents Clause has what g is foreign gifts. J gifts, ye, but okay. With regard to the crypto, obviously crypto, you know it's a slimy industry. slim mean. Yeah, certainly the way he's going around it, where he creates policies that can only en wrench himself and his family Oh crap. Congress is making laws about that. The president isn't making laws about crypto. is something that I think the average American should be staggered by. But you scale. And I think the scale here is just it's intentional. There's no question. I mean, we are seeing the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind in the last eighteen months. Mkind So this is what they're going to do. They're going to take You know, they're going to say crypto, crypto, which will confuse everybody and then they're going to make it very confusing. Well, what is crypto? And what did he have? and is crypto this? is crypto that? and And then it's going go right on because it's a good one because one you know, not a lot of people understand it. Millions do, but certainly not most U and many people have enriched themselves with crypto of all sorts They're going to use this over and over again and the hearings will go on forever. They'll be explaining crypto Uh And Trump didn didn't interfere with CNBC just sit down with our with the guy we likek, the one guy we like Joe Kernan And and here's the two clips about accations Now many people argue business experience is needed in government. and we've seen the stock market in the first term and the second term. I think it's been rewarded to have a businessman in there. I think we shouldn't be surprised that your businesses are going well. But how would you counter critics that say you're using the presidency to enrich yourself and your family Well, in a lot of ways, if you think about it, the stock has got up so much. The stock market today is up five hundred points It's up to almost fifty three thousand You know, I watched your show and you had somebody on one of your brilliant analysts and they said if I had won the election, they said if President Trump could get the stock market to anywhere near fifty thousand, that would be an unbelievable achievement. and that was over four years. In other words, at the end of his term, four years, if he could get anywhere near fifty thousand, that would be Well, it's at fifty three thousand. It's just a couple of points short of fifty three thousand right now. and that's essentially A little bit more than a year. No I disagree with this because We believe that when you devalue the dollar with printing money in essence, and we've done a lot of that. Doesn't the stock market automatically have to go up I mean is that number kind of irrelevant? I mean, you can't say Well, this is in nineteen do eighty four dollars, which would be this much today. donon't you have to say the same thing about the stock market with fifty three might be You know, thirty five in nineteen eighty four What am I think you can make that argument. I don't think it's valid. Oh. Okay All right They continue. But do do you worry that if they take if the Democrats were to win the House that there's going to be endless investigations of you and your administration? I don't do anything having to do with my business. My kids run it. I put a lot of money a lot of money and I have a lot of money I've always made I've made money. you know, I money. a business person. I'm a really good business person. I've made money, I've made a tremendous amount of money more than I would have ever thought I would have made. And I let people invest it. I don't even speak to. I don't even know who they are. But it's given to big firms like that are on your show all the time. My son, Eric handandles it, I don't talk to him about things such as this. I think I'd be allowed to. I'm not sure even what the status is, but I don't Well, and he gives it into these like semi blind trusts or blind trusts where people invest. There was a story today about Jensen Wink. Wh's fantastic Navia and that I have some st I think is very small. I think it's one of many companies that one of the big Wall Street firms invest in. so they said, o, Trump has some suck in there. But how don't care about that? You know why You know why I don't care? Be I have a much bigger purpose. You know, this is the oval Office. It's a much bigger purpose than whether or not I make money That will be the that will be it. That will be they'll be fighting for years and years to impeach him and get him out again. And on the other side we have Really, this socialism thing is quite interesting And somewhat alarming, I would say, because you see the And u I really didn't even believe it myself, but I see this what they call the Red Green Alliance. happening more and more. so it's the Red for the communists and green for Muslim Yeah, that I'm thinking there's something to that now. Here's what Kamala Harris is doing. It's like, o, you know that Mandami guy he's got both. Hes he's a Kami and he's a Muslim. I should go talk to him. An interesting story. Perfect in Axios I'ama Harris. reached out to Zarn Mam Di New York City mayayor and significantly pro Palestinian activists To talk about things. Hima, what's that about? Look, I'm not surprised by it mean,ast I' talked about this for the last couple of months. I mean, this was a big piece of Kamala Harris's sort of downfall in twenty twenty four. She just could not wrap her head around talking communicating with this wing of the Democratic Party. And how aggrieved they felt and how aggeved they felt And we've seen recently with the DSA emerging as something that' you better pay attion, you better pay attention And so I think she's doing her politics correctly. And obviously Mir Mendani is the sort of mayiror of the moment. So she's doing the right thing But she's recognizing that she she's got to amiliate this before the next election, whichich means I'm asking you. Is this a tell? Is this the strongest tell of all that she's running. I think she's doing everything she can right now to put herself in a position to run again. I think it's very likely, but there's still some consideration that she may not. the first tell is when she didn't run for government. Right. Exactly, exactly. But she wants to keep black voters as close as possible as well. Cassie Yeah, I think it's interesting that so many sort of hedged around whether or not they support Mand Dami ahead of his election. And now you have Mi Kamala Harris remains the favorite in the odds the betting market right now. And she's calling him. What I do think is interesting from a Republican perspective is Mandami espouses so many of the things that When Kamala Harris talked about them in twenty twenty four, voters ran away from that. So it's interesting that instead of saying, what are the lessons we learned from twenty twenty four? talkalk about the DNC autopsy, she's doubling down. She's embracing. She's seeing that this is the future base of the Democrat Party. And as we know, you can't win if you can't turn out your base. May mayaybe you need to combine the Kami and Muslim and call them mommmies or mummies But it's so bad that even Fetterman, who Fetterman hates this. such interesting dude. You had the representative who won the u primary in New York Y, Cheavalier is the one they're talking about. Yes. Doria Eiza Avilia Cheavier is one of several far left candidates who have shocked the Democratic establishment, this current political cycle. their success raising questions about the future of the party as they see, as they say, rather, that their movement continues to grow Solidarity is the force that we need to vanquish Trump's fascism to abolish IC and to stand up to the billionaires who are rigging our economy. Can a Democratic socialists get elected president? I think a Democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position. We want to demonstrate that this is not some fluke. This is about an entire movement of working class people who know that we can demand So much more. Now John Fetterman, Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania. Sir good to have you back and good morning to you. I to motor through a couple of topics and this is the first one. You said the other day that there's a significant part of our party that's being taken over with these extreme views. Now others are saying it's just a few here and a few there You said significant, explain that Well, I think her colleague, Chad just pointed out, I just put out a tweet yesterday. I mean, she was praising Kim and Stalin. I mean, between those two men, you know, one hundred million, you know people murdered, you know, like some of the most evil and terrible people you know in the world are in history and she was praising them saying we don't have enough of their books in our libraries And of course, she deleted those things, but this is not ancient history. This is all recent views that people like this we are electing. And on this network, I've described it. I think it was with Jessse. I said, you know, our party's becoming an orgy of socialism. and I think I've been vindicated with to see the way these elections are working out Yeah, it's kind of concerning. Yeah of course, you know, I think the whole thing's an op But that's just me. I think it is it's not just you. I think it is an option. Let's play my favorite one though, the person in Colorado. Yeah, this joker in Colorado it really takes it over the top. The ideological battle within the Democratic partarty on full display yet again. Democratic Socialist candidate Oouse, another sitting Democrat in Congress. Antony Melina Weiskop has key takeaways from Colorado's primary elections Longtime Democrat Cgresswoman Diana Deigette from Colorado is the latest target from the far left of the Democratic Party. Yesterday, the congresswoman who has served here in the House for the past twenty nine years lost her seat to the Democratic socialist candidate, Malat Kiros Pers previously commented that the massacre of Israeli civilians on october seventh was the inevitable consequence of apartheid. House Republicans this week warning about the dangerous rhetoric from far left candidates like her we've watched members of their coalition say Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East It doesn't have the right to exist Kirus's win is the latest in a string of victories for the Democratic Socialist movement in America that's led to the ousting of several Democrat incumbents here in Congress over the past few weeks. House minority Leader and Democrat leadeer Hakim Jeffriys, when asked about this trend, told reporters this ultimately, it'll be in the hands of the people of Denver, but the reality is we have an unsettled electoral environment Another progressive candidate, state repepresentative Manny Rutnell in Colorado's eighth district won the Democratic primary, nudging past a moderate state lawmaker. Rutnell will now face Republican incumbent Congressman Gabe Evans in November. Rults tonight could not be more clear. Out of touch far left Democrats just nominated the most radical socialist Colorado has ever seen. Ban oil and gas ban natural gas stoves. This is one of the most purple districts in the nation, and Democrats are eyeing it as a pickup opportunity for November. House Speaker Mike Johnson telling reporters on Tuesday that the contrast for voters couldn't be more clear I've been thinking about this, particularly you know, speaking to my brother in law here And So two of my nephews, one is a socialist And one is completely right wing voted for Sred buildilders, etcetera. They're two different countries, but the same basic ideas They both agree on one thing. Israel committed genocide And If this truly is an o from CIA, which, you know There's plenty of evidence to go around that they have managed elections and who runs our country for a long time. That would be the perfect one You just want to get the people who are against Israel together and it's all going to be young people, which is the weakness of the plan because young people don't typically vote as much as older people I can see where you get these anti Israel slash Muslim pro like Mandami types together with the Marxists and free stuff And I can see how they would have molded that. Does that fit into your thesis? Well might Yeah, in some ways and I think a lot of it is to get people to reveal themselves In other words, you know, you set up shop, make it look normal. And then see who jumps in And I have this clip from Rant prerebus. He was asked about this the whole the Democrat socialist stuff And he was blathering on on Hannity. And this is Preevus going on and on I think he who who was Pvus again? He was Rance Pvus is the originals A guy who ran the original Trump office, He was the chief of staff. Oh right, right for Trump in twenty sixteen. Right He's a wimpy looking guy and he was put in by somebody else, but he's kind of come around, P' put him by the CIA, maybe No, I don't think so because I don't think he's read in unless he's unless even this is being part of the plan, but he what he says is to me if you After he's done, I'll tell you what What he's But he's missing. Well, I don't know if we're teaching people anymore like we used to. I mean, you have You have Muslim countries from the west cooast of Africa, all the way through the Middle East, all the way through Asia basically. And you have this little tiny spot Israel on the map and they've been persecuted for decades and decades and centuries, for that matter. I mean, there's no doubt about it. But the point here, it's very clear. This' is a leadership problem. It's not a messaging problem. I mean, you have a Democrat partarty, you have Hakim Jeffrey, Schumer, Ken Martin, all of you all out there in the Democrat partarty. They're not calling it out. This stuff needs to be isolated and rejected. if the entire Democrat leadership called out These kind of comments this gal from Colorado that she was called october seventh inevitable. She called nine hundred eleven inevitable. Every party leader in the Democrat Party should have called her out. Every state party, local party, county party. If everyone did that and ostracized this person for these crazy comments, she wouldn't be elected, but they're not willing to do it. They have a leadership problem. Here's another question If tell me what if you're into DNC right now, which one of which swing state in twenty twenty eight do you want one of these DSA lunatic communists campaigning in too John Asf and Roy Cooper, which one of these DSA candidates you want running around in North Carolina and Georgia this fall campaigning? The answer is none of them So there was Well let me fit let me sh sure themure. When he says that they won't call him out I think you might be missing the point of that They're in this underlying current Even since I was in college, withithin the Democrat Party that's extremely socialist. and it's starting to emerge after all these years And it's a sincere movement bad for the country and bad for everybody, but it's been it's been it's been bubbling underneath the surface and the reason that the leadership doesn't make a point of calling it out is because in some ways they're they're in they want it they love it. Yeah. They want it The Democrats want because Bernie Sanders has been harping on this for year after year after year. We need to go more left So he keeps wanting to, you know, he's he and and the Robert Reich. Who was actually we saw him on the street. lives in Berkeley Robert Reichs came out and if you look at this, he's got a podcaster something yell at him. yell at him Now if I' seen him sooner. He has a podcast where he's same thing on substack. the Democrats should not move toward the middle. They should move further left Is it undercurrent? They've decided, okay, we're going to try it. Let's see what happens. And they're all and I think they're sincere about it So there was this guy there're being encouraged by the op Guess? And I think the op is bigger than just the Democrats. But it will behoove the Democrats Um there was this guy the Jeremy Boring who' is actually he lives up to his name There's a term for that when someone someone's personality is like their name There is a term. I forget what it is He's kind of boring He was the co founder of the Daily Wire with Shapiro and And He has a podcast, of course, the Jeremy Boring Show And he had this guy on Burmawi a Muslim who left Islam and converted to Christianity, and did a whole hour about this. Most of it was not that interesting, but I have two clips that I thought kind of fit in with this exact conversation about the Red Green Alliance. Islam fits that arrative Because Islam is non Western None white U colonized. Non a Christian So it checks all the boxes And Islam by nature is anti West U So the Alliance came Just to know naturally like a couple. who are in love, even though they don't agree on Almost anything else. They agree on the enemy Doubt Marxists they want to take down the system because they want to build their utopia. Islam wants to take down the system because it wants to replace it with the caliphate with the rule of Alla So both groups are saying, well, let's work together. And let's Kick the can down the road And we will figure out who's going to establish what later For now, Let's takeake down a system. I think that's spot on And of course, the communists always forget that Once the combined group has the power The Muslims will kill them. They're the first to kill They kill them first Yeah, that would be the way you'd go communist don't think they Theyy, I don't know what they're thinking. I'm not a communist, so I can't figure out And I mean, it's the whole idea of queers for Palestine it's kind of exactly is this summarizes everything. But now you see that you have a Tucker Carlson who is saying Islam isn't that bad. These Muslim countries are pretty good. Love utter. Love utter. have a house there. You know Israel is horrible. Israel is responsible for all of our problems And And so you're bringing in, you know, you're bringing in another group that are kind of coming together. And eventually we'll wind up voting for Th theseese Democrats U candidates O it's possible. notot all of them, but I think I think you're right, the Democrat Party sees the power, sees the movement and they're like, well, we don't have much else And we can still throw our LGBTQ in there because they're all for it It's it's an interesting game to watch No, it's terrific. now Considering this is coming from the intelligence sector and for CIA this is probably why the president has appointed The ball in the China shop, Bill Palty as the interim ad DNI And he's doing the purge. So you have a director the most senior the director of National intelligence and Poli himself has no experience in intelligence. He is known primarily for doing the president's bidding and now his chief of staff also No no experience and has a history of looking into election fraud claims. Which concerns you more The competence question or the ideology question? I think it's all of them. Number one, it's against the law to put Bill Pulty in there because he has no intelligence background. It' Okay. This was interesting. I'm like, wait a minute. It's against the law to put him in there because he has no intelligence background The law That's bull crap. Well, the law says No candidate to be no nominee shall have no intelligence background But Trump has already nominated another person He's not the nominee, he's the interim So this is another nice move tricky dicky move by the president. He nominated someone who has intelligence background and experience, but this guy is just here for know until we What we move that guy through? Idiology question? I think it's all of them Number one, it's against the law to put Bill Pulty in there because he has no intelligence background. It's actually articulated. So the suitability both on knowledge and experience, but also character from both Bill Pulty and now his chief of staff. But what's their intent? What are they looking to do? Are they looking to make the intelligence community better? The DNI was supposed to be a synchrizer with efficiency and sharing of information. That's not what they're necessarily looking to do. what it sounds like, And what's passed as prologue is they're looking to create another big lie and now use the power of the intelligence community and more broadly, the FBI and Homeland Security and others to do the bidding to forward this conspiracy. And that should alarm all Americans because the capabilities of the intelligence community are vast and impressive, which is why we were able to dismantle ISIS and hunt down bin Laden and all the things we've done during the global warar on terrorism to keep us safe after nine eleven. That is not what we're going to see going forward. We're going to see these capabilities potentially turned on American citizens. Of course, It'll be turning on American citizens like John Brennan. Who has done a cool move? John Brenn is now told me. John Brennan is now suing the Trump administration. Firing back at Donald Trump's revenge campaign. is where we begin this hour. The former director of the CIA, John Brennan, thank you for being here and having this conversation with us Absolutely, Nicole, thanks for having me on. Yes. Nicole. So Vocal fry. Put your headphones on. What made you sort of take a different legal strategy because the facts have always been the same. And I just want to ask you to go over the facts of the smears and the alleged investigation you been unearthed by Trump ally, John Durham, by Markco Rubio, who was the senator in charge of the intelligence committee when it comes to that twenty sixteen intelligence assessment Well, Nicole, clearly, I didn't come to the decision to launch this lawsuit against the Trump administration, President Trump, and the Department of Justice lightly. But as you and I have talked numerous times over the past eighteen months, Donald Trump has been engaged in this campaign to punish individuals he considers his enemies And I am being targeted by Donald Trump because I fulfilled my obligations in twenty sixteen as director of the CIA to expose Russian interference in that presidential election of that year. He's doubling down. Talk about your op Muslim Brennan Wow, right Yeah, this guy's unbelievable. Yeah But he they're going he's going to stick with the with the Russia collusion thing, even though it's been Right. The lid's been long since blown off it by Tulsi Gabbard mostly. But this guy was probably in charge of the Red green Alliance within the intelligence community He probably was since he was head Muslim And nobody To this day has ever ever just ask a news meeting said Hey, are you a Muslim You' a Muslim. And a good Muslim has to answer yes No, a good Muslim doesn't. A good Muslim is that thing where you can lie. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. forgot about that part There's a term for it. Yeah, Lying mean there is a specific term forry. It's called lying for the purposes of the benefit the benefit is Islam. Yeah, interesting Um, so In conclusion There is a definite God situation we have to be aware of in the United States. And I think this red green Alliance's something to it Um, But if you just have a bunch of moms and clerics running around. It doesn't work. It only works if you get a M Donny or Chevalier, this is where this is where it's dangerous. when you have the communist who is a Muslim or converts to Muslim like the Jewish guy In New York. who they had him doing a whole bunch of Quran the mosque. Yeah. That's where that's what we have to look out for U And then we have the intelligence unity The FBI going after Newsom And that I have a clip. Yeah. So I'll play mine and if yours you've got anything then well actually let's play yours because you're in California, you would probably have something better Newsom wiretap. That sounds the same. Stunning new report reveals the FBI recruited a member of Governor Gavin Newsom's inner political circle to wear a wire as early as june twenty twenty four. So who was this cooperating witness Alexis Podesta, a veteran Sacramento Democrat who worked under former Governor Jerry Brown She did so in twenty, Newsom appointed her then to the board of the state compompensation inssurance Fund position that she still holds. She later became a key cooperating witness in the federal corruption case against Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson. who pleaded guilty in May to federal fraud and tax charges. And that's where the story takes a major turn. The New York Post is reporting, quote, Democrat insider Alexis Podesta secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom's then chief of staff, Dana Williamson The revelation that she was wearing a wire, as far back as june twenty twenty four explains why Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them Their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation And that timeline matters The wiretap would have been authorized during the Biden administration and federal wiretaps aren't handed out lightly. Investigators must establish P cause show a wiretap is necessary and the DOJ must approve it. Then a federal judge has to sign off and the authorization is limited, generally just thirty days at a time. With every extension, reacquiring a new application and new judicial approval is required. Yeah, they're going after him. And Id looked it up Alex Dest that is no relation to John No no relations No. But the thinking by some reporters is that She was caught up. in the scandal with the with the chief of staff. She went st the points. She's saying like a canary. She flipped She flipped. And they said, if you really want to ed not to do anything with you You're gonna have to wear a wire Yeah, that's they usually have something on you if you're if you're wear If you're walking around for twenty twenty four with a wire you going on. You're doing it under duress. Nobody's voluntarily doing that. Just people will shoot you if they you know, I mean, there's been Oh, she fell out the window. I'm sorry So so yeah, this is bad. Yeah, that's bad. Well, that's why Kamla is sniffing around M Donny, you know. Who do they have at this point Who do they? Well the other thing that you know, that I'm convinced of which is that part of the whole Um the op of the comy op is to is also to sideline Josh, Josh Sro Shapiro And they've done that because what they the all this anti Jewish stuff has come all they subic can't have the Jew. And so and he and CNN had an interesting little I chat around with somebody say, Well, he He presents himself as more Jewish than these other guys. He's Do you have that you have a clip No, I wish did they say this guy the clip. they say he's more Jewy?id they say No that would be Johon Stewart always using the term Jewy. But that would be a deal killer So Shapiro is because Shapiro, I think could be G great candidate. because he's got the chops, he's got exxecutive experience. that is running a stage. That kite will not fly in this Democratic partarty. You can't be a Jew anymore. It's just not going to No So the Jew thing. what So they've managed to sideline him. How do they even allow Bernie Sanders to speak anymore That's a very interesting point. Or is he just just an old crank? and they don't even see him? He's an old crank and you know, he's okay. He's not really Jewish most jewy of them all. So Burchet, Tim Burchett, representative Burchet, who was the big UAP UFO disclosure day guy So that turned out to be a wet fart. just nothing happened. Spielberg didn't come through you know, the The video suck It's all old stuff. Okay, we have a hard time even believing Apollo eleven., okay, but you know, they saw stuff on the moon or something So it was just a dudge And the witnesses aren't really witnesses, they're not really whistleblowers So it's just nothing. So he's moved on I think this guy's entire Mus operandi is, you know, if I can just c on Joe Rogan a couple of times, I'll get reelected So now he's on the MK ultra tip whichich is a lot more believable than the UFO's. and they got hearings. Have you seen any of the MK Ultra hearings? I've been meaning to go back to CSan and look specifically at them, but no, let me bring you up to speed. I rememberen a couple of clips that are good. Yeah, hereere we go. I rememember when all the talk about MK Ultra broke and then they were talking about lawsuits and there were lawsuits and the CIA and the federal government said that this didn't exist, and then they came back and said, well, it does exist And then but we're not doing it anymore. I guess my question to y'all first is which lie do we believe He's doing stick Yeah,. Are these MK ultra survivors who are hooting and holling in the background? Obviously there was an open bar before this thing started, so thank y'all. But doctor Kenzer? Pit your mic, brother, you're on the mic. whole CIA trick. I'm just kidding. I mean, the guy is just doing stick, which is not really that funny I think he's trying to become a personality in these things. I mean like Kennedy he's trying to a John Kennedy. Oh, well he'sailing He's no Joh Kennedy. I put myself in the place of one of those senior CIA officers, and I'm thinking to myself like the ones back in the nineteen fifties. Well, other people must be doing this. We'd be falling behind if we don't do it. And nobody's looking over our shoulders And that I think is your job. So I think there is a definite air of urgency and total secrecy. If any current research is going on and if it's conducted in any comparable level of secrecy to the original MK Ultra, it's very deeply secret Okay, it's very deeply secret. so Let's bring us up to speed, make a little more current U let's talk about some of these lone wolf people. which we used to call lone wolves. now they're just known as loners. What are the possibilities that what we've learned in NK Ultra now that it has advanced so much to algorithms and the computer and getting to loners that some of these loners could through this just mass propagation of whatever you're doing could cause someone to maybe take a shot at a president I know there's a lot of speculation out there about the Butler shooting and I guess even the Charlie Kirk shooting. I just hate to speculate because I don't know. I have no firsthand knowledge whether those guys were programmed through radio waves or through computer activity. So I would never hazard a guess, except to say what I've already said that they develop means that we've never been told about many, many years ago, and I imagine they've evolved to be much more effective now I think this guy was the only I forget who that was. It was doctor Kinzer I think he he's probably correct that memes and Algorithms, they definitely can affect people And you know, DarRPa Now this comes from Penk. So take take it with a grain of salt. But Pachenic told me The DARPA, the defense been talked to Brenic. Oh, we're talking years ago. years ago U And so hes he told me he told me this years ago and there's evidence of it. The DARPA Defense Agency reesearch project, who Thanks to Al Gore created the internet Um, and, you know, Tim Berners Lee, but we all know is Algore. The they were evaluating the effects of quote unquote social media back in the late seventies Um, and I think there's there's something to that. You know, and just look at what what memes can do They're very powerful. And if you can control algorithms and get stuff going, you know, you can move people places. You can get people to to want to defend Palestine and hate Jews and You know the problem I have with that thesis is that when I was Cal Berkeley is fififty years ago plus way before memes or social media or before computers U desktop computers at least, pre desktops They were yelling the Palestinian thing And then you know, Palestine, Palestine seems to be code for something. And then when I heard that speech, which I've discussed on the show before of Phil Specter. who gave a three hour lecture in Wheeler Auditorium And he as an aside went on that when he was a kid, he had heard this Palestine versus the Israel thing before Israel was even a country. And he was hearing about this Palestine Palestine palace So I'm not convinced Well, memes are gonna trier I'm to take a shot Trp. Let me counter that Maybe Palestine, Palestine, Palestine never worked until they had the internet. And then oh, o, now we can do it. Now we know doesn't work What do you mean? They're getting they're getting people positioned to be elected. We have a mayor in New York It is working I don't know if it's working anymore that Well, if this's an op, it may not be working, it may be artificial I'm going to make the argument that's artificial. Okay. Well, we shall see, Crade. I'm going start calling you Comrade, I'm hedging my bets just in case And our friend Bertchet also is hedging his bets because he's he's doing the same thing that he did with the UFO UAPs. Listen to this. It sounds to me like you're describing something like the Martin Luther King assassination. The FBI didn't carry it out, but it created such a climate just denouncing King as the most dangerous man in America and putting out all this material about how he was helping communists that they must have thought it's going to filter down. Somebody will take action, and then we can say we didn't have anything to do with it. And James R' Ray was A third rate thief He made an incredible shot, one foot on a commode, one foot in a bathtub, leaning out of a window basically. and the next day or that afternoon, all the shrubbery was cut in front of the flop house he was staying in. There's a lot on that one that will never be discussed. I have some friends that were there. Oh ye. so I guess I I'm I read the j. Pty close to firsthand knowledge, but yeah I'm sorry. I'm probably going to get audited when I walk out of the room. I know it. Thank you. Chair Lady, I yield back my four seconds. Yeah, okay So they're not really talking about MK Ultra. they're talking about propaganda, media propaganda And there's we can We can certainly show that there's a lot of mainstream media propaganda that is intended for one reason, and one reason only is don't vote for Trump ot vote Democrat even better. So I mean I I think it's u I think this op idea there's something to it. It's possible, plausible. would be happening We' to resolve itself shortly I still think the Democrats are getting in and Getting the House in I don't know if they're going to get the Senate Is it going to get the house for sure And they're going to impeach Trump, even though it's going to go nowhere. It's just going to be a huge waste of time. Yes. It's waste of time and useful content for MSN and other cable news networks. they need something I saw an interview just can I switch topics here Yes, please. I saw an interesting interview on Fed Gov today. You know, because they do podcasts, obviously, good use of your tax money. And they had on they had an interview with let me see, she is the I think the CIO O a second, where is it here U her name is Fletcher, Fletcher, Fletcher, Kelly Fletcher State Department CIO. So she runs The computer is for Marco's outfit And they have had quite an interesting experience with AI I'm listening to this, and I'm sure you'll pick up on the same things that I did. Honestly, for the State Department, Generative AI is like the perfect technology for us. We translate things, we write a lot. It's pretty magical for our mission. Magical. And so we rolled it out to three thousand users to start and it was You know, it was in development. it crashed. She loaded a document that was too big. it crashed. PDFs worked fine, but like, o an Excel table, forget about it. You know it was imperfect. And I'm so thankful. We have these three thousand users they were committed to it, we would change the underlying prompt in a small way and these users would notify us of the change in performance before our analytics did. It was so cool. So we actually recently sort of hit the knee in the curve moment. We spent probably a year You gotta remember this one. The knee in the curve moment This is this is a good one What does it refer to? So you have to look at the knee if someone's lying on their back and then the curve all of a sudden shoots up Because their knee is bent, the knee and the curve Okay I think it's one we need to keep track of. Be I can keep track of it, but I don't think's going to go anywhere. What extad It was so cool. so cool. We actually recently said wait for it. Ive hit the knee in the curve moment. We spent probably a year, a year and a half just saying, use it, use it, use it. We built this for you, please use it. We now have well over fifty thousand users. We have about twenty thousand users every single week, unique users. Unique users, she's talking like a Silicon Valley lady And and now we have to we don't have enough users, so let's get some champions. Yeah, we have a really strong like community of users Cunity. R. So these are our employees. Some of it is like not technologists, but technology users become super users, they talk to each other, they engage. And I thought organically this will grow. You know what I mean? They're sitting next to non super users. It'll grow But now we're being more intentional about it. So we have the AI Champions program. These are folks who like explicitly, part of their duties are to go around their embassy or their domestic office and say to people, hey, this is what I'm doing with AI. Would this work for you? They get to call themselves AI champions, their cohort, they get extra training. Honestly, it's really cool. Everything's really cool So what do you think that the after these years of implementation, forcing these poor government employees to use it, sending out someome kind of gestapo team called AI Champions. He. Who why aren't you using this What do you think they're ultimately using this technology for search engine. No, close. So right now, I would say we have AI agents, but as a user, you don't really see them. Be they don't really exist in the background. But we're moving to role of something we're calling Beacon. and it is your personal administrative assistant. So all those things that you' you know, how much leave do I have You know, I forgotten. firstirst thing we do, how do I get out of this job? AI agents, how much leave do I have? How can I leave this desk? Well that that soundsic. That is government worker in a nutshell. haaving been there. Number one, how much How much sick time do I have? How much How much leave do I have? Can I can I combine the two? I'll get sick And take a week off. I'll be in Europe for two weeks. This is it. How much leave do I have? You know, I forgot my password on my phone. Do I have to go in to see someone or can someone help If you're a government employee and you forgot your password on your phone Maybe you shouldn't be an employee. Like all administ Yeah. administrative toil. Administrative toil of how do I get out of this job for two weeks in Europe? All the administrative toil's gonna help with that We have the infrastructure to do it, but I'll tell you it's the training that's getting us. Because right now, you would call all different helped us to solve these problems and those helped us have scripts And some of those scripts are great And some of them are not. Okay, so now we're coming down to the nitty gritty All of this money All of this effort All of these agents running around doing stuff. We need to show some numbers, people. Show me some results. And we found about sixty percent of our tickets from the IT supportupport center could either be sped up or totally resolved through an agent. But we need the agent to be very clear if it can't help Right? We need to send you to the right place to get help, but it can't It can'tot help because then we're going to be in a situation where folks just aren't going to trust it. We have about a minute left for this part of the conversation. What kind of the time? Hey lady. getet the point. The hook. When do you expect to be able to get through? it sounds like just a volume of stuff to be able to work through even with the advantage of using AI tools So for the IC support center, I think we have a full plan for about sixty percent of the tickets we receive, which we receive almost a million tickets a year Now rolling that out. We're going to see how it goes with users. I think we're going to get users. My hope is that ten percent to twenty percent of their helped us questions are resolved through Beacon in the next six months So it's for helpelp desesk A I forgot my password. What do I do? Do I need to go see someone Like this what a waste and is this the best they can do It seems pretty pathetic Now if you ask Mark Andreon Man, that head, that guy's head. It's those eggs shappe. it's an egg. It's not egg shaped. is and it's completely smooth I mean, it's like his head is like a giant ostich j. I'm surprised he doesn't wear a hat Well a tiny one. a tiny littleay hat would probably be the way to go. No, no. Eone would know, like dude, you' just hiding that pointy. He is a cone head. That's what he is And and he seems like a nice enough guy. But that the guy had dinner with him once Oh ye ye when he had hair No That's how long ago it was. And with his hair and everything he He looked you never knew he had that shaped head for some reason. I think he probably should have gone with a two pay Well, I think it was so I met him virtually in nineteen ninety three And he was still at school Ive told you the story And I had the mtv. com gopher server And he says, Hey I've got this thing. It's called a web browser mosaic and and you can set it up at mtV. com and he sent me the HTTPD, I think zero, one point four or something Yeah, this is way before I met him. Yeah, yeah. Well, he was in school. So I think once he was a billionaire, he' like I got to deal with the two pay I can get any chick I want Bake head or notut. and just call my boy, Jeff. So here he is about He's asked the question about his favorite models. And so you know, again, we're back to policy questions, which is there're going to be policy efforts to kind of prevent medicine from happening or robotic medicine from happening, But the capabilities for sure are going to be are going to exist. I mean the doror Chad GPT is a better doctor than ninety nine percent of doctors like people hate, you know I don't know doctors hate one But it is, it just is, it really is. We have all these new companies. We have this company a Braak and one companies, Oen Evidence. that's actually the AI medical service that a lot of the doctors use. And it's with in theical medical field. And it's great, by the way, for the patient, you really want this because you want your doctor to have state of the art AI, right supporting all of their But by the way, if only to just have all of the information at their fingertips, right to just like really understand, you know, no human doctor can possibly read all the medical literature and keep up with it every year Dr. Chad GPT And that's what he's going for 't Yeah, that's inevitable. Yeah And u Here's an ad. producer Gary sent me As u Meta is rolling out their AI. and I think they I don't think they have a good strategy at all. They trying to sell it now as part of your WhatsApp for an extra five bucks a month Or we could get the proro version for nineteen dollars a month since they are, you know socially conscious and they know how much they their users, although I don't think their users are graduating from college. I think they their users are seventy, sixty, seventy years old, probably. on average Well, we have to be socially conscious, so we have to help these kids who are going to displace from the workplace and get them new jobs. People are building things here in America again, and this moment calls for the best of America. Our people, intntroducing America's Workforce Academy, built by Meta A program helping to train the next generation of welders, fiber installers, crew leaders, and more paid training, a job, and a path to America's future. becausecause the future is for everyone. Learn more at meta. com slash America's Workforce Academy By the way, I would go for it I would highly recommend you go get trained by Zuckerberg and get paid is a real thing. Yeah Yeah Yeah, I recommend it too Tw more in this no one more in this series, just one further proving my point of the idiocy of the hyperscalers and the data centers, Lisa Sue Lisasu Susan, San Who is the CEO of AMD She just did her big keynote, Steve Jobs like keynote. And her one more thing was this. Now I would say this is pretty beautiful Do you guys agree? So let me tell you what it is. This is the smallest AI development system in the world. Cable of running models with up to two hundred billion parameters locally, not connected to anything It's powered by our highest end Rizon AI Max processor with one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of high speed unified memory that is shared by CPU, GPU, and NPU This architecture accelerates system performance and makes it possible to efficiently run large AI models on a compact desktop VC that fits in your hand. one thousandine hundred buckars We're getting there. This is going be such a meltdown when people start to figure this out What does JC say? He he's he's all in on the same thing. Good. makes me feel good He has no he has no qualms about that Um Well, let's changeed the subject again. We should probably at least discuss the big shot funeral that took place. Oh yes, yes, the yeah, this this was uh Rather interesting. onn the fourth of July as we had already accurately pegged It didn't get the play that they wanted. You can you can't you can't do a funeral. I can't have a funeral compete with eight hundred fifty thousand shells. No, but here's the BBC report. A massive funeral like this takes massive preparations, including centers like this rest station, right of the outskirts of Iran. There are lots of these inside the city. As people come on these buses, one is just pulled up, bringing Iranians from across this country. Here, they can ceue men in one line women in the other to get food and water and to rest. They tell us they're heading to Tehran. They want to be able to go to the vast Musala complex where the former Supreme leader is lying in state. And then on Monday, what's expected to be a huge procession carrying his coffins through the streets of Tehran. Millions are expected to turn out M will But many won't. thoseose who suffered during the restrictions and repression of his nearly four decades of rule In the midst of this morning, this is an intensely political moment. You'll see on all of the photographs of the flags a clenched fist, a symbol of resistance and also revenge, a message from the leaders of this Islamic Republic. The war assassinated their supreme leader and many others. But they're still standing and still in charge Well, that's interesting. That was the BBC take who clearly want to continue to have the strangle hold on on the Strait of Hormz out of our hands CNN had a rather different report. Up front now, Niz ila Fati, former and New York Times correspondent who's based in Iran for ten years. N a, we haven't seen or heard from the new Supreme leader, Mashaba Kamani yet. So if he does not appear during these ceremonies, what is the message that sends Erica, I think that is the most striking absence that everybody's asking Where is he? What is the reason that he has not made an appearance yet? becausecause even the head of the revolutionary guards Amada Baidi, who had not been seen in public since his appointment after Ayata Hamen was killed made an appearance at this funeral. How come he's not showing up for his father's for his own daughter's funeral. and the only way that he has communicated has been through written messages. And if this funeral is expected to project an image of resilience, strength and also leadership transition. I don't think this messaging is complete without Hin Moramber Homin's appearance during this funeral a little different message the gu the guy may not even be alive for all we know. I wonder myself nail Trump keeps saying like, o there was a bit of regime change, newew people, the old killed the old people, then we killed the new old people. now they're dead. and now we got the new guy Yeah, kind of cavalier about it He likes killing people I have a kind of the religious and I wouldn't call her a nut case. this woman runs a grrace mininistries to grrace. ' kind of familiar with her. Well, you will be after you listen to this This is this is a rundown of what's what's to come after the july fourth party. Hello everyone. Amanda Grace here. somethingomething fascinating is beginning today and actually converging with july fourth. Oh, I have seen her. She has like a kind of a small room that that she's standing in. Yeah, ye yeah. Hello everyone, Amanda Grace here. somethingomething fascinating is beginning today and actually converging with july fourth that I believe we really need to pay attention to. The fact that these events have converged together this particular year, that is America's two hundred fiftieth anniversary. Let me explain. So the seventeenth of Tamz on the Jewish calendar begins july second, twenty twenty six Can I just ask in advance Does this result in the rapture at any point? I don't think so. Okay. It's a Jewish fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the seconde temple. Now, it marks the beginning of a three week period of mourning that leads to Tishba Av or the ninth of Av. Now the ninth of Av begins this year july twenty second, twenty twenty six It is considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar on which they not only fast and pray, but they recognize that very serious world events occurred on the night of Ob. Some of them were, the spies returned with a bad report. Both holy temples were destroyed. The Jews were expelled from England and from Spain and World War one began America's two hundred fiftieth anniversary this year falls within these three weeks of mourning between Tishb of and the seventeenth of Tamus I don't think that's an accident. I think we have to pay close attention to the fact that these two events are converging within this time. You know what else is happening to? Within this three week mourning period? The Ayatolla Ali Khomini's funeral, which happens to begin july fourth, twenty twenty six and goes to july ninth, Guess what july fourth is on the Islamic calendar It is the nineteenth day of the first month or nine eleven. And it's concluding july ninth, seventy nine, nineteen seventy nine was the Iranian revolution. This is all happening within this three week period between the seventeenth of Tamuz and the ninth of Av. That's not an accident. We have to be heightened and alert spiritually, intercede and pray because there is a profound reason this is all converging Yeah I would have clip that on myself Yeah, well, well I expect Sir Brian of London to give us a full report And Oh he'll be glad to. Yes, and he'll let us know if there's any truth to this, But yes, we must be very careful. be we must be on alert Well, I'm always on alert So I do have one Ask Gam clip. Oh As Asam. Okay, I'm ready. Okay, before we play it This is a clip you want to listen to this. I want you to tell me what this is all about Anden this is the thirty second clip As Adam askk Adam contact. Yeah, ask Adam contact hear. What is this about? Women's bodies have always been big business. You know, you can go back to the nineties, there was an obsession around being as thin as possible, fast forward in to the two thousands. You know, we saw a lot of focus on having big lips, tiny waist Now the focus may be on being young forever, but it's always been a money making business. Is the difference now that young girls are being monetized? I mean, it strikes me that that Ellie May has taken on a role As a money maker Oh really well Answer the question, go. Can I hear the last now that young girls Can I hear the last ten sounds? You can listen to it again if you want. I think I need a few more seconds of this clip. A of focus on having big lips, tiny waist. Now the focus may be on being young forever, but it's always been a money making business. Is the difference now that young girls are being monetized. I mean, it strikes me that that Ellie May has taken on a role As a money maker, Okaykay, can is this? It is either I can is it a reboot of the Beverly Hill builduildings? Wow. Is that out there? No. Ch I admire that shot. That was a good one. He admires my shot. That was from half court. S shot in the dark. I did a granny style underhand Um Is about only fans No What sounds like it's about prostitution. What it iss exactly about and I took the it's out of context ip obviously because I thought it was so fascinating the way they put everything. It's about pretine online influencers Oh wow. There's a big trend going on. This was a report from I think, NPR. Yeah or BBC, one of the two but there's a whole bunch of these Pre teeen online influencers that are paid to u to you know, promote makeup or whatever. Yeah just for kids, yes. for kids. Yeah, Zuepora Wh which brings us to another kind of a angle here just part of that clip. I have this maha clip. This is the Maha Soda pop influencers clip. You know, last spring, something strange happened online. I want to share with everyone. The moment Robert F. Kennedy moved Pull soda off the food stamp thing. Oh, this was a big thing to do. This is from several months. This is maybe almost a year ago this thing that happened. A wave of influencers, dozens of them just blew up their feeds overnight. outraged, all trying to defend so that. I'm like These are like dietitians. These are health Gurus defefending soda all at the same time with within the same forty eight hours. I found that very odd Almost every one of them just happen to mention the same thing that president loves diet Coke. I'm like, oh, interesting. Probably not a grassroots reaction. This is a script. And if you pull a string on it, it comes out comes from a PR firm that has been quietly texting influencers, their talking points and offering At the very bare minimum, five thousand dollars a post. I thought it was five thousand dollars. But if you are a larger influencer, you can get twenty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred hundred thousand, even up to five hundred thousand or more per post. And I'm not kidding, that's like a lot of money involved in this. So and the problem is their posts are not mentioning that they're being paid. So Unfortunately You know, it's like you got to be suspicious of these posts because it all seem to be attacking at the same time So here's what people need to understand. This is like the normal now and online influence is the product. You can buy it by the post. and the overwhelming majority of marketers now run influencing or influencer campaigns, that's a multi billion dollar machine Yeah, and I from what I understand, after this came out that the most of these influencers were paid and didn't disclose it. Then there was a whole wave of them apologizing like, hey, I took this money, I really shouldn't have. I feel bad about it because they were all exposed. Yeah, this is this is what hey The same way that they're paid to influence soda pop, they can be paid to influence elections, they can be paid to influence all kinds of things. Yeah, that's what you do And quite frankly, I think that's our exit strategy we might as well just sell out. Yeah, you know, I'm thinking we can probably do influence campaigns for coffee for chocolate for honey product honey honey product, honey product for resumes that get results. I mean, hey, maybe, maybe I should just thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of CPU, say hello to my friend on the other end the one, the only mister J see the world a sham G the murders, if you see Boostingraffee in the air. Subbs in the water and all the Dames and nights out there. in the morning A, fourteen seventy one. That's more than I expected on this fourourth of July weekend, which I would like to remind everybody We're working. We're working fourourth of July weekend Im I'm working here It is ten PM. And you actually flew to you're in not even you're not only working, you're working in another country. Yes, in a different time zone. And I really should be here hanging out with my daughter, but no Sorry, I can't come visit you Thursday or Sunday. Sorry. know I know I'm only forty minutes away, but you know gota gota work. you know, we have a public service people. you're forty minutes away. fromr Rotterdam, yeah Oh, I thought you were staying in Rotterdam near them. No, no, we're staying in Amsterdam. We're right near the museum plane. The Reich'es Museum. Reiches Museum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stade Look Museum, which is modern art And then they have the moko, Mko And that's like they say they have a banksy and some other stuff there. Banksy doesn't have to be attached to a wall or something. Yeah, you have to take the wall down him. Generally U So no, but it's important to us because we know that people rely on certainly four thousandteen hundred people rely on us doing it live at this hour, at this hour And we're happy that they're listening and they're probably listing at no agendastream. com or under modern podcast app because you're just wasting your time with the legacy apps. just first of all, you're never going to get a bad signal. You're not going to go know that we went live And you certainly might be able to listen to the live stream in your modern podcast app And you know, we have a troll room, which is our studio audience. they hang out U and if you can't, even if you can't, when we published the show within ninety seconds because of the pod ping technology that all these modern podcast apps are using. And it's now we're decentralized decentralizing this pod ping stuff even more ople can even participate. u with a with a gossip listener So we are really taking the power away from ourselves, actually. We're taking podcast index. We're going to decentralize that It'll all be in DHT, which is distributed hash space So the whole podcast universe will be No distributed and uncorruptible And there will be the only media distribution format of its kind that can do that And we will make zero money from it, which is kind of kind of weird, but also kind of fun So I hope everyone appreciates that. I know you do, John. Go yeah And I think it should get a no b. always appreciate the not making money part. Yes. You always try to tell me to reevaluate my choices in life So you can get a modern podcast app at podcast apppps. com. Now we have made our own speaking of money, our own vow to not succumb to commercial interests. Uh in Only work in a value for value model whichich means we give you our full program, everything we have twice a week, the full Monte, no expectations up frront Ohe always suggest is that you think about the value you have received, which can be, you know, would you please take the value pitch? because I asked you to do it last week and I think you should do it again this week. You're pretty good at it. People are tired of hearing me say it. you're good at but it's It's just kind of well, you kind of you give it in such a way that it's relaxing. Yeah.. I I need to about it is because the idea is is that we reproduce them. very elaborate product that people are kind of stunned by how professional it is. Yes. and then we give it away And we just hope to God that people make the realization that the reason that we're giving it away is because we can't do this any other way and be honest if you have advertisers or corporate interests You have to cater to them even though Yeah You sometimes will do it so subtly you maybe make it sound as though you're not doing it, but you have to do it. You have to knuckle under. Have you way, shape or form. Have you tried that new Coke zero Yeah, like that. So It's delicious So there's a lot of the honesty factor depends on whether you want to this we're the only podcast that really does this well because we're very sincere about it. other people try to do the half baked the value for value. some people are are reticent about it. someome people are shy about it. That's the real problem that. Oh God, I don't want to have to ask for money. I'm asking for money. but I don't want to to go to Patreon. I don't want to Patreons. Yeah and then give thirty percent to Patreon or whatever. Yeah they give a bunch of money to Patreon. then they get a check in the mail then Patreon can cut them off. And yes, Patreon yes, Patreon can cut them off and Patreon, you have to have levels they kind of force the I don't think you can just willy, nilly give any rando donation. I think you have to have that's the other thing. we've We've actually pioneered the Rando donation where you give whatever you feel like, you know, what do you think is what is it worth to you Now the idea, of course, be honest about it, is that it maybe gives people the You know, they might get loose And say, Well, I'm gonna give him a little more than normal. If you got a fifty dollars, I'll give him fifty five. people O fifty hundred one. Do you feel I want to get it high on that list. Do you feel l fiftyzero five. That's a good one. It It's a super high quality product. You had me at super high quality product, really Thats's where it's super quality product. Every once in while, somebody will comment about it, they say, how do you guys do that 't you're not in the same room, you don't rehearse, you don't practice and you're like remote and you go for three hours, yacking away about these various topics and it's smooth and sounds like you know, you've been doing it forever Well, that's because we've been doing it forever doing it for nineteen years. If you don't have it down by now, you're never going to get it down. So that's what value for value is all about. There you go. So you can support us in a number of ways. U timeim and talent and treasure. Now the time and talent part is critical to the model we have never called our listeners listeners or H Rogan calleds him fans? No You know, you are producers. Everyone has an obligation. notot everybody has a time or a talent in their mix. U someome people are very good. it's actually interesting because everybody has a specialty then That's why we have such interesting Boots on the ground reports from Oh man peopleeople in aviation, people in medicine, people in education broadcasting, peopleeople in broadcasting, people in carpentry, people in welding, people in trucking, people in you can't name aers Yes You can't name a vocation that we don't have someone out there who is an expert in the field and is happy to share their experience with actually got a boots on the ground from the anonymous Air traffic contontroller uh, about that incur that almost incursion u where We had one plane incoming. And the other plane took off after like thirty seconds of getting clearance. And so then the incoming plane had to do a go around and pulled up so it didn't crash into them And I said, you know, hey, I'm I'm kind of u of disappointed that you didn't did, you know none our air traffic controllers wrote in. so I'll just read what he wrote in. finishing eighteen eighty one Regarding the near MS and ATC, these things, in my opinion, are a culmination of things all resulting from COVID. where one to two year pilots were promoted after large amounts of retirements occurred through the scandemic Also, during those years, the FAA implemented CPDLC. controller pilot data link communications, basically text messaging from air traffic control to pilots Now with the recurring knowge in the topic of screens and smartphones destroying our younger generation's ability to do anything outside of drool and drool and scroll This got an image Imagine a system where air traffic control and pilots don't have to talk to each other for a majority of the flight. Everything is done over text message. Click accept and the plane does it. This is true No one has thought through the impact it's going to have. When you eliminate the constant need to listen and respond in a timely manner, the result is delays in response and slower attention spans Qote, Oh, when ATC sends me the next text command, I just push the button. It's noticeable. Pilots are slow to respond, sometimes called three to four times before acknowledging This doesn't exclude controllers Making the job more efficient with tech takes away from it actually gets the job done. The God given ability to speak Post COVID freeze hires are unwilling to do the study U to study the point Oh sory. Post COVID freeze hires are unwilling to study the z point sixty five to know the rules. Im not sure what that means So he winds up by saying, No agenda pilots, do better No agenda controllers. Pull your heads out and do the job. Stop relying on a computer system to do your job Thank you for your courage, the anonymous controller Kind of a concerning note Yeah, I'd say it bothers me hearing it. Yes. So but that's the kind of quality analysis you get on the No Agenda showh from our producers. Now, you can also organize a meetup. There's a lot of things you can do We do need to pay bills. That's where this value for value comes for, value often enumerated in cold hard cash Don't send your water, your blankets, we just want your cash But first we got to thank a talent and that is the artwork that always gets attention. We have no agenda artgeneratated. com. That is where you can upload your usually AI prompted artwork. and if we choose it, we're happy to give you credit. And we thank Blue Acorn for making the traditional Dam It kind of cheesecakey, although it was int a classic style classic Almost like would you call this nineteen sixties or nineteen forties U I would say pin upp style, yeah. So forties kind of Vargas. Varg. Yeah, Varga girl. Yes, Varga girl, exactly All America two hundred fifty, no agenda. You got the Varga girl, you got the Eagle, you got some you got a flag, you got some fireworks. It worked for us. And a lot of people had this similar idea If we go look at the art generator to evaluate other pieces we looked at Uh let me see, we had We had the fer a lot of ferris wheel Yeah. Francisco Scaramanga. OVad, you know, we're not gonna use that. Uh Was there anything else we liked I don't think so. Not really. You were actually complaining Well, I usually do complain. I usually complain about the artwork This was good I like the the comic strip bloggers, which was used in the newsletter The second iteration of happappy two hundred fifty with a roller coaster, which was stolen from Apparently NessWorks who did an earlier version Yeah in the u in the timeline. So he reprom It wasn't as good. He reprompted an old prompt. Oh, this is interesting. I don't know how he it exactly the same. Or maybe unless he fed the original art into the thing and said do it better. Or maybe they just use the same model and poop that up maybe that's also possible. Well, Blue Acorn, we appreciate you Thank you very much for your support with the time and talent you put into it. Now we're going to thank the financial producers gave us their treasure And we thank everybody fifty dollars and above. We do have some guuidelines for ourselves here. We like to read notes And we read every single note above two hundred dollars guaranteed. We may pick one or two out under the two hundred level And that's just for time's sake If you're fortunate enough to support us with two hundred dollars or more, then not only will we read your note, we will also give you an official Hollywood title of Associate Executive prodroucer And those are real titles, real credits. You can put it in IMDB. com It's accepted there. It looks great on your LinkedIn, etceta.

And and they will hire you Haven't you haven't you received many of these consultant messages on LinkedIn You get more than you get a bunch of them, yeah My email, I don't know if yet, my email has somehow They got my name off of a podcast list. or there's some hot list that is going around.
