1856 - "CIS Lunar"

To the moon, Alice! To the moon! Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, April 2nd, 2026. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 1856. This is no agenda. To the moon! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Refinery Row up here in the North San Francisco Bay, I was gonna say, to the moon. I'm John C. DeVorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning!

We gotta coordinate these. No, we can't coordinate these things. I was gonna add Alice. Yeah, so throw in one of your trademark, no one understands what JCD's talking about references. Exactly. Alice. Is that from The Honeymooners? From Jackie Gleason? You remember. Barely. To the moon, Alice! To the moon! Was that how much he loved her? Is that what the deal was? He's threatening to punch her. No, he was not. What do you think it meant? No, he meant he loved her. He didn't want to punch her.

Are you kidding me? He only said that when he was mad at her and he had his fist in a ball and he was swinging it around and he was gonna say, to the moon one of these days. This is exactly what I mean. No one understands these references. It's okay. I think they're suppressed. Well, they should be. It's completely misogynistic. You can't have that kind of stuff anymore. He never hit her. The threat is violence by itself. Yeah. Silence is too.

So, listen to this foamer girl on NPR with the rocket going to the moon. NASA says the Artemis II moon mission is proceeding as scheduled following yesterday's launch of four astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce was there for liftoff. The rocket is just arcing up into the sky. There's a tremendous noise and just a bright, bright star-like streaking star in the sky as it goes up and up. The sound was like physical. You could feel your body shaking.

And there's a long, straight cloud, white cloud coming down from the rocket which is still very visible high up in the blue sky. There's four astronauts on board and it's amazing to think that they're on top of this thing. And it's just going up and up and up and we can still hear it. It's like a very loud flag-flapping sound and all eyes are on this thing. That's NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce. The asterisk. I love her. Does she know that we have television these days? Does she know?

I love the theater of the mind. It's a flapping noise and I can't believe that on top of this thing there's a white trail behind it. We're watching it on television, NPR girl. It was... There you go. It's a big rocket. It's a big rocket and of course they launched it on April Fool's Day. Look pretty real to me though. I'll be honest. A lot of work to make it not real. All those people witnessing it. It was still not as big as Saturn V. I watched most of this coverage.

The thing is huge but Saturn V is still a few feet bigger. Well, it's not the size. It's in the motion of the ocean. And they're going to slingshot this thing around the moon and this is a big deal. I got a couple of clips. Do you have anything on the rocket? No, it's just... What was there to... Well... You found something? Good. There's always something. Let's see. I got Isaacman. He's the administrator of NASA. That guy with the ears? He could fly to the moon just with his ears.

Holy mackerel. Here he is. This is serious, man. We're in a new space race for the moon base. This is the opening episode. You're going to start seeing launches to the moon almost on a monthly cadence. A lot of uncrewed vehicles are going to go there as we start to build out the moon base. You're going to see crewed vehicles with astronauts going at some point every year, eventually getting down to six months.

Vehicle architecture will change until you've got repeatable, affordable missions going to and from the moon. Yeah, okay. You know how they're going to do that? They have moon partners. I'd say we have demonstration missions on the peaceful, civil side for doing on-orbit boosting of satellites, on-orbit refueling of satellites.

In fact, our entire lunar strategy with our two moon partners that are building our lunar landers, SpaceX and Blue Origin, incorporates some degree of on-orbit assembly or on-orbit cryogenic prop transfer. These are going to be game-changing capabilities for the United States. So we are moving in that direction, for sure. It's a little entremont here.

This came in this morning as the astronauts are talking to Houston, and they had a little bit of a problem they thought Mission Control could help them with. Why are they... What? Okay, wait, wait. Stop the show. Clip of the day. Microsoft Outlook crashes. I'm telling you. I'll give you ten points for that. The whole thing's worth it. Let's listen to that one more time. Yeah, go for it. Can you remote in? It's even worse than that. Yeah, that's the worst. Remote in. I thought that was great.

We're sending these guys to the moon, and they're using Outlook. I wonder if they're on... Do you think they upgraded to Windows 11 so they have support? They better. Anyway, this whole thing is obviously about national security. When America returns to the moon, builds a moon base, returning to the moon, this time to stay, it sends a message. It sends a message to every one of our adversaries, our geopolitical rivals around the world of what we are capable of doing.

It sends a message of what we're capable of doing across every one of the most important emerging technological domains. I will tell you, it is absolutely a race right now. Success and failure on the moon is going to be measured in months, not years. Success or failure is months, not years. And this, my friends, you may think, we're just blowing money on rockets, blowing on a moon base. Uh-uh. This is a critical piece of your golden dome.

I 100% believe that our adversaries around the world understand how important the high ground of space is and what our satellites are capable of doing, again, from an observation and communication perspective. And they are doing everything they can to try and challenge it. That's where President Trump's golden dome comes in. We're building out even bigger constellations of satellites. We're going higher. We're going into cislunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon. What?

Cislunar space? Did I hear that correctly? It sounded like he said cis. Cis, yeah, that's what I heard, too. Like trans or cis. Cislunar space. We're going into cislunar space. Yeah, cislunar space. I wonder what cis... I think we've looked this up. We have a couple times. It never makes any sense, really. Well... Satellites. We're going higher. We're going into cislunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base. Laugh tell. We're going higher.

We're going into cislunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon. Listen, listen, you can hear the laugh tell. We're going higher. We're going into cislunar space. We're sending American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base. So there's no doubt that our adversaries are trying to counter our capabilities in space, but this is why President Trump signs a national space policy calling for the continuation of American superiority in the high ground of space.

Cislunar space, the high ground of space. These are new terms. We should be learning these terms. That's the show title. Cislunar space? It's a little long. Or just cislunar, maybe. CBC had a bit here as we apparently are still racing the Chinese. I think the Chinese, have they only banked stuff into the moon? Have they crash landed or have they had anything land successfully? I don't know. I think all it is was the crash lands. I think they just crash landed.

For all the complexity, care, and frankly rocket science that goes into this moment. 3, 2, 1, booster ignition. And lift off. There is little else it comes down to but the wonder of this moment. And how wonderful it was to see years of planning and an estimated $93 billion pay off. Artemis 2 with humans on board heads off to the moon. Today's successful launch is also a move that NASA's new administrator has been pushing for.

Jared Isaacman has criticized the pace of this Artemis program for taking too long and showing

too little. He recently revamped plans to get more missions going faster, even to establish a moon base before competitors like China can make progress. If there are constant Chinese missions and rare American missions, what makes you think the language of space travel will be English? Dean Chang is a senior fellow with the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies. He sees China's persistence to go to the moon as a real challenge to the U .S. with timelines.

You can bet that they will move literally heaven and earth to make sure that Chinese boots leave an impression on the lunar surface by December 31st 2030. Humanity's next great voyage begins. Still, Artemis is the farthest along and if all goes well in days, these astronauts will be physically farther than any other crewed mission has ever gone. Even as they know their job is to be the test case so humans can go even further.

So beside the endless articles about the color of their spacesuits, it's orange. This whole thing really does seem to have a China angle to it, which I didn't expect that, or at least there wasn't a lot of that in the preamble. I thought so. You thought there was a lot of China angle? Yeah, I thought the whole thing was about China. I was convinced that if China hadn't been threatening to land a man on the moon that we wouldn't do this at all. It's too expensive.

Hey man, it's a part of the Golden Dome. One more clip, this is from CNN, again about China and the new lunar economy. Back 50 plus years ago, the first mission to the moon, that was a space race with Russia. Today the race is really with China. How much... Doesn't Russia still make our engines? I know Elon makes them now. But they do. You can still buy the Russian engines, I think we buy some. They never said who made these engines. Maybe we should buy it. I'm guessing Elon's company.

Maybe we should buy a few of these engines. Maybe not. The race is really with China. How much has China's own space race fueled this push to get back to the moon? Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major factor. Right, absolutely. Did she say right, absolutely? Back to the moon. Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major... It's more like a right, absolutely. Right, absolutely. I would say it's a major factor.

The reason that this is a race and exactly whether it's a race is kind of up for debate, but certainly lawmakers have made clear, both Democrats and Republicans, that they consider us to be in a new space race with China and it being a national security concern if they leapfrog our deep space capabilities. That's the goal here, right? China clearly has ambitions to build a base on the moon. The United States is stepping up to that challenge and saying, we want to build one too.

The big question here maybe isn't who lands on the moon first again, but maybe who gets to that lunar base and establishing a new lunar economy, as NASA likes to say. China's certainly driving that. We'll see. Lunar economy. Lunar economy. Tina was having none of it. She says, but lower my gas prices! I don't care about what we do with the lunar economy. I think that's... It wasn't the same. The media made some excitement about it when they were getting onto the... into the capsule.

But there wasn't a lot. Are people that excited anymore the way we were? No. It doesn't look that way, but when they showed the crowd at Kennedy, there's a bunch of little kids who watched it, and they're all excited. So maybe, you know, it was just us being old. Speak for yourself, Tonto. Hey! You're going to be a year older. I've got a birthday coming up. On the 5th. The 5th? That should be exciting. Is that a show day? It's not a show day, is it? It's Easter Sunday. Oh, wow.

You celebrate on Easter Sunday? Yeah. Oh, that's great. Isn't it? It happens about once every 12 years. Wow. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Easter kind of snuck up on me as well. It's not the same. How do they plan that? I should know this, I guess. Is that the Hebrew calendar? Is that why it's so confusing? That's a good question. Because I've been baffled by it by myself. Sometimes it's March. Sometimes it's here. Sometimes it's July 4th. It's all over the place. It's never been on July 4th.

No, it's never been that. I think it's the Hebrew calendar. But it just snuck up on me. Is the robot operating? The robot? You mean it's the robot talk operating? I don't have her in talk mode. I'm on Linux now. She's not compatible. I can get her working for Sunday. I don't want to delay the show. We shouldn't be guessing. We're right here with computers in front of us. Of course I can ask my... How is Easter Sunday determined? Okay. Let's see what she says. And the robot says...

It's calculating. I need to put you in fast mode, robot. This is the problem. Okay. Oh, it's the equinox. And the full moon and the next Sunday. So it has... This is complicated. Yeah. It is calendar-based. It's moon-based. Okay. Well, there you go. That was riveting. I'm glad we figured that out. Well, at least we Hebrew calendar. Hebrew calendar. So what you got? I got my typical... I'm documenting my thesis that Trump's just going to pull out. Oh, I think you're right. I've seen enough...

In fact, I have a few clips, but what I'm hearing now is, hey, we're going to wait for them to make a deal, and then we're going to... You know what? We don't need the Hormuz Straits. Let France take care of it. Yeah. That's what I'm hearing. So I've got variations of the theme here with a bunch of Iran clips, which are scattered throughout the list, so I'm going to have to give them to you individually. Try this one. Crazy John Carl.

Tonight, with Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to soar around the world, President Trump is urging America's allies to, quote, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just take it. In a phone call, the president told me of our allies, they can police it themselves. Why should I do it for them? They weren't there for me. The president suggesting that America's allies should be there to help, even though they didn't start the war.

France, Spain, and Italy have all expressed reluctance to get involved. The president has acknowledged he was elected on a promise to bring down the cost of living. But today, he told me the booming stock market before the war made it a good time to do it. Trump insists the oil prices are going to go down.

He has threatened if Iran doesn't immediately open the Strait, he will be, quote, blowing up and completely obliterating their civilian infrastructure, including power plants and water systems. He also says the U.S. and Iran are talking, telling me, we have regime change, and this group is much more moderate and much more reasonable. The president says his team has been talking with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Ghalibaf.

Speaker Ghalibaf has been jabbing the president on social media. He's toned it down a lot, Trump told me. He's much better. The president then adding ominously, we know where he lives. Let's put it that way. And on Cuba, the president telling me Cuba's gone. When I asked him if he was talking about a military operation against Cuba, Trump said, I can't tell you that. I trust you implicitly, but I can't tell you. Hmm. This Cuba thing kind of bothers me. Cuba's gone. What's he talking about?

Does the Cuba thing bother you at all? What do you mean, does it bother me? Like, do I wake up in a cold sweat? Yeah, well, yeah, in a cold sweat saying, what the hell are they doing to Cuba? I mean, it's just out of the blue. What do you mean? Did they let some oil in there? No, they didn't let any oil in. Yeah, they let the Russians. Oh, they did? Yeah, the Russians unload a whole tanker of oil. No, that's nice. So, no, I'm not bothered by that. They got some oil.

Okay, let's go on with the thesis. Here's ABC. This was ABC WNT. U.S. bombs key site. Tonight, massive explosions ripping through this military complex in Iran. Flaming debris shooting into the air. An official telling ABC News the U.S. struck an ammunition storage facility in Isfahan, dropping multiple 2,000 pound bunker-busting bombs. For the first time in this war, the Pentagon now saying B-52 bombers are flying deep over Iranian territory.

And tonight, Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the battle is moving into a decisive phase. The upcoming days will be decisive. Iran knows that. And there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it. Yes, they will still shoot some missiles, but we will shoot them down. Tonight, a third aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, departing for the Middle East with 4,500 sailors aboard. Families emotional. I'm just trying to be strong for him. It's really hard being away from someone like that.

Iran still wreaking havoc. New images of an oil tanker hit by an Iranian drone near Dubai, punching a hole in the ship, sparking a fire on board. And tonight, an Iran-backed militia accused of kidnapping an American journalist in Baghdad. Iraqi officials confirming this chilling video shows the moment Shelley Kittleson was forced into a car and taken. Authorities arresting at least one suspect as an urgent search intensifies.

David, the State Department with a new warning tonight for Americans in Saudi Arabia about threats to places where they gather, like schools and hotels. This, as Iran threatens to attack American corporate facilities across the region. Can I play a clip to add to your thesis? Play all the clips you want. Here's the president talking about leaving Iran very, very, very soon. I would say that within two weeks, maybe three, we're hitting them very hard.

Last night, we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities, as you probably read. We knocked out... Excuse me? The U.S. will be gone or done with the war? I think with two or three weeks. We'll leave. There's no reason for us to do this. The problem with this, Faye, a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water and say, oh, it's unsafe. It's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out a country. They can drop it.

Or he can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a few bullets at a ship. Or maybe an over-the-shoulder missile, small missiles. He doesn't really know much about military gear, does he? That's not for us. That'll be for France. That'll be for whoever's using this trade. But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up. Today, I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through. We're negotiating with them right now. Again, we have had regime change.

Now, regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal. I had one goal. They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons. But we're finishing the job. And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job. But we want to knock out every single thing they have. Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that, because we'll hit bridges. And we've hit some. We'll hit some bridges.

We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. We hit some bridges. If they come to the table, that'll be good. I like that. We have some nice bridges in mind. Bridge too far. It's possible that we'll make a deal before that, because we'll hit bridges. And we've hit some. We'll hit some bridges. We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether they come or not. We've set them back.

It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them. I gotta tell you, I'm disappointed because I thought the whole plan was to control the Straits of Hormuz, to be the financier of the shipping and the insurance. And now it's like, France deal with it? It doesn't sound... The writing's on the wall. They can't do it. They're at a position right now where they've done enough damage. I think they're only hanging around. This is my thesis, of course. Everything's a thesis.

They're only hanging around because they're hoping to God that they can find that 600 pounds of uranium that enriched uranium. Uranium dust, as the president calls it. Nuclear dust. Nuclear dust. They think they can grab it. That was their great hope. And I think they're gonna say, well, it's disappeared. We're gonna have to put Mossad in there later. Maybe they can find it. We'll come back. But we can't stay here any longer because everyone's irked at us.

But we can still blame them for not helping us when we leave. I think that's gonna be the kicker. When he leaves, he's gonna say, well, you know, we would have stayed, but... Yeah, I got some of those, but maybe you want to do your... No, go ahead. You've got some. First of all, let's do a boots on the ground from the region, from our producer there. He says, alive and kicking. My military guys, they're like, that guy, you're informant, he's full of BS.

Okay. That's... I have a feeling that maybe the military results are not as rosy as the president as... Well, I mean, when they start showing you the videos on network TV of a truck being blowed up, come on. He says, alive and kicking.

Just amazed by the number of, quote, analysts and, quote, experts discussing the, quote, detailed plans which are conveniently leaked through WAPO, New York Post, and every single major paper on the exact approach and step-by-step ground operation to seize the islands or retrieve enriched uranium stockpiles. The end of this seems near. Pakistan is taking a dual role here to manage the negotiation process, and China will step in as guarantor with actual skin in the game.

The problem is, how do we deal with a militarized, angry, and vengeful Iran that guarantees they won't aggressively rebuild and go all-in? Some voices in the region think that we need to take the chemotherapy approach and keep hitting until the entire regime collapses, which is aligned to the Israeli approach, but the issue is, at what cost? Do we have enough interception capabilities? Can we expose ourselves to such hardships short and long-term?

Other voices believe that the regime already collapsed, but the war itself is what keeps it fighting for survival. And what happened to the initial decapitation event was a military coup by the IRGC, which picked a dead or nearly dead puppet as a token for the Islamic Republic idea. There could be voices that will push the country towards a softer Islamic Republic with a cute supreme leader or towards a more pragmatic, politically savvy bureaucracy.

Iranian people are extremely smart with a wide range of political ideologies. Once sanctions are dropped, the regime could fall through Instagram or TikTok. I agree. It wouldn't surprise me, to be honest about it. It wouldn't be surprising. Okay, so NATO, yes, you are completely right. The president has been lashing out, according to France 24. And I've always said NATO's a paper tiger. And I always said we help NATO, but they'll never help us.

From jabs and scoldings to thinly veiled threats and angry outbursts. Over the last few weeks, Donald Trump hasn't been shy in his criticism for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A longtime NATO skeptic, the US president has now ramped up his rhetoric, telling British newspaper The Telegraph that he was strongly considering pulling the United States out of the alliance.

Trump says NATO isn't doing enough to help the US in its war with Iran, particularly when it comes to securing the Strait of Hormuz. A fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas would normally flow through the narrow waterway, but Iran has virtually closed it since the start of hostilities on February 28, causing global oil and gas prices to soar.

When asked about Trump's comments on Tuesday, the British prime minister stood up for NATO and reiterated his promise not to get dragged into the war. NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen. And it has kept us safe for many decades. Whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise, I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make.

Okay, so they're still kind of staying at arm's length, and they sent over our boy to help ease the pain a little bit. Mark Ritter, showing up on the Fox News. Alright, I want to start with some criticism. You know, the president has been sharply addressing what he sees as NATO's failures in this current situation. Here's what he said in the Oval Office earlier this week.

I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake, and I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us. So this is a great test. Yeah, what's up? So, NATO's making a foolish Don't we really run NATO? This whole thing is a charade. Well, it's not about NATO. It's about these other... It's about the EU. Screw those guys. That's what he's saying. Yeah, it's about the EU, but I think NATO is just a... This is a smokescreen. It's a code. It's code.

And he's got his buddy, Ruta. Yeah, Ruta's a fake. Yeah, well, duh. Listen to him. Wait until you hear what he's saying. I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us. So this is a... This was a great test, because we don't need them, but they should have been there. Have you talked with the president? I know that you guys have had a good relationship. Yes, we have, and we talked several times this week, but before I get there, let me...

Before I get there, let me stay here for a moment. Let me say something which is top of the show, top of mind. Just say at the top of our interview that my thoughts and prayers are obviously with the men and women in uniform who are at this moment fighting to make the world more secure and implement the president's vision of making sure Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear facility, nuclear capability, and ballistic missile capability.

Yes, we cannot have that at all, but don't worry, we are coming with 22 nations. I know the president was angry, because he feels that European and other allies have been too slow.

The good news here is that since Thursday, a group of 22 countries, most of them from NATO, but also Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and Bahrain, most of the other countries from NATO, are coming together to implement his vision of making sure that the Strait of Hormuz is free, is opening up as soon as that is possible.

So we are now planning, the military people and others, amongst this group of 22 nations and with the US, when can we do that, what is needed, and how should we do this? Okay, well let me tell you. So the 22 nations not included in this coalition, are NATO members Turkey, Greece, Poland, Belgium, and Hungary. So those, they're not participating, and even though France, Italy, Spain are participating, Spain closed their airspace to us.

Italy denied bombers use of the air base in Sicily, and France has refused territory for military operations as well. Those in the coalition who are not NATO members, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. And Rubio is the one who's going out to explain this on behalf of the President. He had a long interview with Sean Hannity.

Sean, I've been one of the strongest defenders of NATO during my time as a United States Senator, because I found great value in it. It wasn't just about defending Europe, I said it also allowed us to have military bases in Europe that allowed us to project power into different parts of the world when our national security was threatened.

If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases, that in fact, we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one way street. Then NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help, not their help, we're not asking them to conduct airstrikes. When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no? Then why are we in NATO? Why are we in NATO?

That's a good question. I think we should re-examine after the war is over. So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we're going to have to re-examine that relationship. We're going to have to re-examine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country. Ultimately, that's a... Honey, NATO, we've got to talk. ...decision for the President to make, and he'll have to make it. We're going to finish the job here.

As I said, we're very, very close to achieving our objectives on all of these things that I've outlined, but I do think, unfortunately, we are going to have to re-examine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while is still serving that purpose, or has it now become a one way street where America is simply in a position to defend Europe, but when we need the help of our allies, they're going to deny us basing rights, and they're going to deny us overflight.

Yeah, so this... It's just... Screw you guys. That's what it is. But yes, we are NATO, so... I'm sure you saw the President last night on his national broadcast. I thought it was very weak. It was terrible. And this was perhaps the worst... I don't know who advised him on this, that sounds like something, I gotta tell people this. This was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's very important that we keep this conflict in perspective.

American involvement in World War I lasted one year, seven months, and five days. World War II lasted for three years, eight months, and 25 days. The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days. The Vietnam War lasted for 19 years, five months, and 29 days. Iraq went on for eight years, eight months, and 28 days. We are in this military operation so powerful, so brilliant against one of the most powerful countries for 32 days. What is the point of that?

All you're doing is reminding people that this could last forever. Interesting that you interpret it that way. I didn't think of it that way, but you're right. That's why he's gonna have to get out within the next week or two. Well, that's what he's saying. Two weeks, three weeks, couple days. We'll be out of here tomorrow. We'll be out of here. The problem, he thinks he set it up, he's a little concerned that Iran's gonna claim victory no matter what happens. He doesn't like that idea.

He's worried about the political implications, about going in and rebelizing and just leaving. It's great. I think he's shaky. He wants to get out like Senator John Kennedy said. Why are we there now? We've done what we had to do. Let's get out. Kennedy's aware of this going on more than any other senator. I think Trump can't pull the trigger or the military guys want to test more gear or who knows what. They always want to do that. Definitely.

He reiterated that regime change was not the goal, which okay, not explicitly, but he keeps talking about it. Not our goal. We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' deaths. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable. We still don't know who the new group is. The head of the parliament's one of them. There's that foreign minister guy who's on X. Baghdad Bob. He's on X all the time.

Baghdad Bob. We don't know what he's talking about. We're not talking to anybody. We're winning this thing. Then Rubio was sent out and he almost did a podcast. Like a scripted thing. Let me tell you why we did this. This is very important. I'm Marco Rubio. Many Americans are asking why did the United States have to attack Iran now? Let me explain. Iran wants to have nuclear weapons. Of that, there is zero doubt.

If what they truly wanted, which is what they claim, is nuclear energy, they could have nuclear energy like all the other countries in the world have it. That is, you import the fuel and you build reactors above ground. That's not what Iran has done. They build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains away from the public glare. They want to enrich that material.

The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy, they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade. It is clear that they've been offered every opportunity to have a nuclear program that allows them to have energy, not weapons. Every single time, they have turned it down. Why the attack now? What was Iran trying to do?

Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way. We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk. Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons.

And under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about. Okay. Nice podcast. Whatever. Exactly. So Iran is now formalizing the toll road. Yeah, that's not going to last. Well, it's illegal. France 24 doesn't think it's going to happen at all, but here it is. Iran's National Security Committee has approved a bill that would impose these fees on the Strait of Hormuz.

That's according to the Iranian Forest News Agency. And Iran has written to the International Maritime Organization saying it has to check the ships going through on the grounds of self defense and that these checks will generate costs, thus the tolls. But for shippers, there are many questions lingering on whether paying those fees would mean going against existing international sanctions leveled at Iran.

So even if Iran formalizes it, it's unlikely to be accepted by other countries, although right now there does not seem to be really other options to go across. Yeah, I agree. I don't think that's going to happen. But the UK is now the center of the 35 countries who will be on the committee, I think, to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. So they're trying to do... Oh, a committee. Yeah, a steering committee. They're trying to do something. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is headed to the UK.

She will join multi-nation talks on finding diplomatic options to reopen the Strait of Hormuz trade corridor. The meeting was called by the UK government today. Anand says Canada will not hesitate to help secure the Strait, but only if there is a ceasefire. The Liberal government has not yet decided on specific measures. It's Canada. It's what? It's the UK. It's Canada. I thought everyone's meeting in the UK. Did I... I thought maybe... I know what she's talking about, Canada.

Can I do a... taking a trip aside here? Yeah. Just a little step aside. Canada is nuts. Hmm. Okay. Jeez. I want to put this from a couple of days ago. Leading the national... I've decided I'm going to start following the CBC now. The national, which is a pretty good news presentation. It's their premiere, you know, the nightly news. Yeah. It's their Tom Broke jaw. Yeah. Broke jaw. Hang in there. Hang in there. You can do it. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't make you laugh?

Is that the problem? Yes. Do not make me laugh. So, Canada. This was the first time I played the teaser and then the story, and then you tell me this is not nuts. Canada, scandal, the national. Tonight, anger across Quebec after the message of condolence from the head of Air Canada was in English only. When you've been living in Quebec for 15, 20 years, you should be able to speak the language. Why it is not the first time Michael Rousseau has faced calls for an apology or resignation.

Because he only did in English and not in French. This is the CEO of an airline. He's not a politician. He has to speak in both languages all the time, you know, because of the Quebecers who are trying to, they're going to do a breakaway move again one more time, which we haven't talked about in this show at all. It's heating up, I hear. Yeah, it's supposed to be heating up a lot. And this may be part of it. And then they go into the story.

Here it is. Air Canada's CEO is facing intense backlash tonight, including calls for his resignation after his message of condolence to the victims of the crash at La Guardia Airport was delivered only in English. Michael Rousseau spoke just two French words in nearly four minutes. The plane, which took off from Montreal, crashed into a fire truck on the runway killing both pilots, Antoine Fauré and Mackenzie Gunter. Fauré was a French speaker from Quebec.

Criticism has been especially sharp in that province. As Sarah Levitt tells us, this isn't the first time Rousseau has faced scrutiny for not speaking French. Air Canada already had a terrible human tragedy to deal with following the crash at La Guardia Airport, which killed two pilots and injured many passengers. But the way it's partly handled that has created a political crisis. That, along with this.

Were the only two French words spoken by Michael Rousseau in a video released after the crash. That's put the Air Canada CEO in hot water, particularly in Quebec. One of the plane's pilots, Antoine Fauré, was a francophone from the province. I'm asking him to quit his job right now. For sure he should apologize. Air Canada should ask him to resign.

In an interview with Radio Canada, Air Canada's VP of Communications apologized on behalf of the airline and said that despite years of lessons, Rousseau's French was not good enough to discuss such a serious matter. The airline is subject to the Official Languages Act and now Rousseau has been summoned to Ottawa to explain himself in front of the Official Languages Committee. It's also earned him an admonishment from the Prime Minister.

It doesn't matter the circumstances, but particularly in these circumstances, lack of judgment and lack of compassion. Yeah, you've kind of ripped us away from Iran, Hormuz Straits, etc., but since you're moving to Canada, I don't know if you saw any of these. Well, I'm sorry I did that, but there was eating at me, these clips. No, it's okay. But we're going to play my Canada girl. Oh, it's probably the same girl I have. Oh, really? You think so? I'm just guessing, yeah. Oh, maybe not.

Here's your Canada girl. Hello, I'm a Canadian living in the United States. I just have a really quick question. No, this is not my Canada girl. Are you aware of what's actually happening in your own country? Now, one of the things I like to do around here is I like to do research before I speak, so I just went ahead and I made you a couple notes. So, please allow me to explain to you what literally just happened. So, this woman is ill.

I'll just point that out, that this is what you're doing with your life on the TikTok or wherever you got there. This is more like an Instagram lady, it sounds like. It was TikTok or Instagram? It makes a difference. It makes a difference. Yeah, there's a difference. In Canada, okay, there was four public safety bills and they were all voted down. So, there's one called Bill C-246. Have you heard of it? If not, that's okay. I'll sum it up for you.

So, it would have made sure that sexual predators serve time for each victim, not a bulk discount, okay? That was voted down. Did you hear about Bill C-220? No. Okay, if not, that's okay. I'm here to help you. It would have stopped lighter sentences for rapists and child predators just because deportation might happen after. That was voted down. Okay. Did you hear about Bill C-243? If not, that's fine. I'm here for you.

It would have protected victims from having to relive their trauma at parole hearings over and over and over again. Wait a minute, just let me understand. So, she lives in America and she's telling Canadians that they live in a horrible country? Is that what she's doing? Yeah. The victims actually begged for this. It was voted down. Did you hear about Bill C-242? No. If not, once again, I'm here to help you. The Jail Not Bail Act?

Okay. Well, that targeted repeat offenders cycling in and out of the system. And that was voted down too. And you know what? Can I just give you a little big picture here really quickly? I have the time. So, before you talk about avoiding America, can you talk about what's happening at home? Violent crime has risen significantly over the past decade, okay? Our theft is at record highs. Do you like your vehicle? How about the collapsing healthcare system?

Millions of Canadians still don't have a family doctor and or access to one. Housing is completely unaffordable. Food bank usage is at record highs. The catch and release policies are frustrating even law enforcement. Your own Prime Minister said that you will need to make sacrifices and suffer. And those were his words, not mine. Where I'm from, my tiny little town has four homeless encampments. Four. But sure, America's the problem, right?

Can you do me one really big favor, Smith Rental Property? Just turn the TV off, just for a day. The United States is not this dystopian nightmare that you're being sold, okay? And Canada is not this flawless utopia that you pretend it is. Oh, give that woman a green card. Welcome to America, lady. Get off Instagram. We got people in the troll room saying this show is single-handedly making me hate women. So, And that's from a woman. Yeah, right. I have a Canadian clip, Canadian lady.

Well, questionable whether it's a Canadian lady or what it is. I think a non-binary conforming thing. Did you see any of the footage from the NDP convention? Oh, I saw all of it. I just had to pull at least one clip. We want you to tell people what the NDP is. National Democrat Party. It's communists. It's communists, yes. We've seen this before. This is the kind of groups that get together, and you can't clap. You have to snap your fingers. You have to ask for a point of privilege.

Nothing ever gets done. Everybody's a freak. What is the type of being on Star Trek? Quark. What was Quark's race? Ferengi. So, this lady looks like a Ferengi. The host. She's the moderator. The podium girl. And people are in line, and they have different colored equity cards. And these equity cards, from what I understand, This is great, by the way. Who came up with this idea? I've never seen this one before. I love it.

So, you have an equity card, and I think you have a yellow one or a red one, and that means you can move ahead in the line. And it's all based on privilege and underprivilege. Underprivilege, mostly. And this one clip just kind of sums it up. There's a point of privilege on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three. Go ahead, delegate. What happened to microphone two? Are you discriminating? Yes. Hello, I was standing here with my gender equity card. She has a yellow gender equity card.

Before you called on the previous speaker. And she's wearing a kiffiyah over her shoulder. She's all for policy. Equity card before you called on the previous speaker. That's my point of privilege, and I would like to I will explain the speaking order, which is Okay, if I understand, she's mad because she had a point of privilege card, a yellow one, which is not the same as a red one, because the black lady gets a red one. You'll hear from her in a minute.

And so, she was mad that she had a gender equity card and was not called on. Before you called on the previous speaker. The irony of this clip is she's at the mic. She wasn't called on. You're being called on now. What more do you want? I'm mad about that. My gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker. That's my point of privilege, and I would like to I will explain the speaking order, which is fixed that I cannot amend, which is the pro-con rotation.

You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in. I am pro, and I was We went You went pro-con We went pro-con and my plan was to go con. The speaker at con mic 3 also has a speaking card. Yesterday this card Now she has a, what looks like a pink card, a black woman with a white face mask was used in an inappropriate matter and while I understand in Ontario we know this is equity even if that this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender.

I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman have no value outside of this space. I love that she identifies as a black woman because she's a black woman. It's amazing. This is fantastic. It's just and you know this kind of brings me to No King's Day Can I do a transverse clip? Kind of a crossover clip that there was an interview with a man on the street at No King's Day regarding her moves? We both have this clip. You got it too.

This is an interview in the crowd Man on the street and I think this guy's a comedian so he's doing a good job here for humanity and it's a little muffled but you'll hear he is talking about the Straits of Hormuz. Isn't it a little bit homophobic that we're so focused on the Straits of Hormuz and not the gays of Hormuz? Yes, I agree. Yes, for sure. I agree. Why do you think they're willing to leave the gays of Hormuz behind?

I think it's just history historically, you know, gays have always been very discriminated against, which is wrong on so many levels. Even in war. Yeah, even in war. It just takes, I think, more what is it? More reform in government, obviously and then also educating society. So the gays of Hormuz, we could turn it into Fire Island. For sure. That's the new Borat as far as I'm concerned. That guy, he needs to do more of this. Yeah. I got a lot of Fox clips for some reason.

The Fox, this is the morning show, I can't remember. They brought on a psychiatrist to talk about No Kings and why people are going there and what it's doing for them. You say that this is essentially bad group therapy. It really does look a lot like bad group therapy. We have people on the streets across America, they're venting, they're getting validation from their fellow rally goers. So it all feels very good in the moment. Is there a reason why the left is more distressed than the right?

Well, maybe they have more to be distressed about these days and I think largely, you know, they're just not happy with Trump winning. We have grievance culture run wild. The left, for the most part, loves to hate and whether it's a CEO of a healthcare company or billionaires or a politician, the culture is grievance culture. But is there something a little bit more serious underlying all of this that we should be actually concerned about?

Well, we should be and if people are so hyper-focused on a political figure and they're not able to enjoy life, as a mental health professional, that's a huge problem that I see. I've had people over the years who couldn't enjoy their vacation because they were so fixated on Donald Trump. They just said to me, how can I possibly go on vacation knowing that he's in office? So we really should be concerned about this. I think that's true. I think people are really so upset.

And I see, you know- They say so. They do. Yeah, something's wrong with them. And you drive to Austin, we have to go over 290, and you go through Dripping Springs, or the drip as we call it. And there's older people, so older than me, 70s, and they're always at this one main intersection, and they're always day in, day out, rain or shine, no kings, we hate Trump, down with Trump. No, we have that, okay, in Berkeley, there's three overpasses in the Berkeley area.

One's a walking bicycle thing over the freeway, and one's the big road, and there's another one. Ever since the first no kings, there have been people up there with various signs, they come and they go, the signs come and change, and they're just up there all the time, honk if you hate Trump. Yeah, honk if you hate Trump. They do that in the drip as well. And I don't know, it's like, it's not the most important thing in your life, it shouldn't be.

This is our overall general problem in America, is politics has just become the most important, national politics, not even your local politics. I mean, we have a mayoral election, unfortunately, I can't run, as you know. What do you mean? I don't live in Fredericksburg. Oh, that's where you're county? Unincorporated, yeah, I'm in Gillespie County. I could run for sheriff! Or I could run for Comptroller. There's a job, Comptroller, that's the job you want.

But you know, if you walk down Main Street and say, what about Trump? Someone will have an opinion. You say, what about Randy Briley? Who? No one knows that there's even a mayoral election going on. In fact, this psychiatrist continues here in a second clip that politics has become the new national religion.

How much of what you're seeing on the left has to do with replacing, like, you know, liberalism also goes hand in hand with a lot of secularism and sort of, so could they be replacing that spiritual, religious part with politics? And so then it ends up not being very satisfying. Yeah, absolutely. In some ways, politics has become the new religion.

And so, you know, I covered just a few days ago, this past week, when President Trump had the Japanese Prime Minister at the White House, Sonny Takeuchi, he made a joke about Pearl Harbor, and everyone on the left, in the left media, in left politicians, lost their minds. It was clearly a joke. Like, are we at the point now where people are suffering so bad from TDS like they can't even get a joke? Well, I also thought it was funny, but a lot of people didn't think it was funny.

You know, they're just so fixated looking for things that Trump can do wrong, and I've long said that Trump could cure cancer and people would find a problem with that. He said that, actually. Jonathan, come back and see us, because I think we're going to need more therapy. Yeah, I love this segment. Okay, stupid fox. Now, if you think it's only people on the left in America who are crazy or nuts, that's a fast. Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham is under attack.

Since evidently, there's nothing for a senator to do in these trying times, Lindsey Graham decided to go be where the people are, down in Disneyland, which he went to and had a good old time with. And there's been a lot of great photos that have come out of this, but I think by far my favorite is this one. I don't know exactly where he's at right there, but I do know what he's holding. That is a Princess Ariel bubble wand. And do you know how I know that?

Because I own a Princess Ariel bubble wand. Well, technically, my daughter Raina does, because I bought it for her. It's a big wand with a kid's mermaid on it that plays kid music and bubbles come out of it. And Lindsey Graham is walking around with it. Now, Lindsey Graham is childless and single. He was not there with his kids. I have not seen any evidence that he was there with anyone's kids.

Now, if you were there with your friend's kids, your, I don't know, your brother's sister's kids, maybe you buy them the Ariel bubble wand. But as of right now, the only explanation is that he saw a bubble wand with Ariel on it and he had to have it. Is he just that big of a fan of Ariel? I do think that he is a little bit more personally anxious about that image than he wants to publicly admit, because now he's trying to put out other images.

He put out this tweet saying, spend some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today doesn't get much better than that. And oh boy, doesn't he look butch. He's got his leather vest. He's got a shotgun. He really enjoys doing this. He's not a Disney guy. He just happened to walk through there or whatever. He really wants to be shooting those clays. I think that the Lindsey Duff protests too much. This is TMZ who's doing this. That guy sounds like an acolyte of Glenn Beck.

Well, he's Young Turks. That's from Young Turks. It's TMZ that put out a call. In fact, TMZ is out of control. They're opening up a DC office. No, they're smart. They're smart. Where is the show business fund? It's all in DC. I mean, where else can you get a story about Christy Gnome like this? Shocking photos have leaked from an online fetish community that allegedly feature Brian Gnome, the husband of former Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Gnome.

The Daily Mail obtained hundreds of messages reportedly sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's husband and three women who are involved in so-called bimbofication fetish scene. Leaked pics reportedly show Brian wearing comically oversized lopsided breasts, complete with fake protruding nipples. Other pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul, who has three children with Gnome, clad in pink hot pants and a skin-tight, flesh -colored crop top.

Did you see any of these pictures? You didn't see the one in the newsletter that you approved? Oh, that's exactly where I did see it, yes. But that doesn't mean that you saw them. I saw them. I'm the one who found that picture that went to the newsletter. I get these from Tina. Made to resemble massive, cockeyed bazoongas.

According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Brian chatted up women from the online fetish scene in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie doll-like appearance. Representatives of Christie told The Post the former DHS chief was quote, devastated by the salacious allegations of her husband and that the family was quote, blindsided by this. In a 2022 interview with Elysian, Christie Gnome said that their family was an open book and transparent.

The Daily Mail also spoke with national security experts who said the existence of the scandalous photographs could have made Christie the subject to potential blackmail threats. Former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos told the outlet that the photos could be a quote, tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service. Cockeyed bazoongas. Potential show title. They're like the ones that remember that shop... Yeah, the shop teacher. Oh man, do we still... They may be their friends.

There is a number of websites where you can buy that crap. How would I know? I don't know. Tina would. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Do we still have clips of that teacher? Yeah, whatever happened to that guy? I think they bought him off. He probably walked away with a lot of money. He might have, because he was totally playing that up like, well, what's wrong? How come I can't identify as a woman with... The other angle of this, of course, is that... I don't have the clip. I should have had it.

Is Kristi Noem testifying and refusing to answer questions about having an affair with... What's his name? Mimi had those. Yeah. She gave it to me. I dropped the ball there. She's having an affair with... What's that guy's name? Corey Lewandowski. Yeah, Corey Lewandowski. I guess he's having an affair. You say that. And then she wouldn't answer any questions about saying, tabloid, tabloid. We can't get into this. So she's screwed up, too. She's no good. She was not good from the get-go.

And I'd say the same thing. The next one they're talking about, there's gossip. Gossip. Yeah, gossip. I saw the gossip. Bondi. Everybody's up for being fired. Everybody is. Rubio. No, not Rubio. He's got solid people. Where's Vance? Vance is like a hitman. He comes and goes. He hasn't done any hits. He's around. Rubio. And then you've got your A-gay. He's also a talented guy. The gay General Patton. He's talented. Tina's like, is he gay? Hello. He has a handsome husband.

And they have handsome children. Just saying. They're a handsome couple together. You put good-looking people together and their children come out beautiful. Hmm. Let me see. How does that work? Okay. I've got lots of stuff, but so do you. How are you feeling, if you don't mind me asking? How are you sleeping? I still have not got a normal sleep in. I'm short a couple hours today. So I'm kind of... I don't sound great. You sound better than you sounded Sunday for the first hour.

You sound a lot better. You said I livened up on Sunday? Yeah, you livened up after the first hour. I don't know. I think you pushed through some barrier with your voice because you sounded a bit like Soros. It was somewhere between Kissinger and Soros. I'm not going to do that because it's not the way to do things. So how do you feel in general? I feel terrible. Is there any improvement? There's a lot of improvement. Stamina improvement. It's a terrible thing to go through. No kidding.

I should have a couple more horror stories. One element of the whole thing that was not discussed is during the procedure I had a collapsed lung. Your memory is shot because we talked about that on the last show. Nuts. I got a lot of fluids and they don't let me drink water so I'm kind of parched which doesn't help my voice. That's part of the problem by the way. I kind of enjoy having that a little bit.

If I could do Alex Jones, I think Alex Jones is going to be a lot better than yours by the time I'm done. Unlikely. I can do it. I can do it. That's unlikely. We did get some good news as your Health and Human Service Secretary along with Dr. Oz, it's the tag team. The Maha tag team. They heard your complaint.

The other announcement we're making today is that Dr. Oz sent out a health and safety notice every hospital in this country at 11 o'clock this morning asking them now to align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines in order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid and Medicare payments. We're going to bring all the hospitals in the country in line with good food. This is not something that we can force hospitals to do. They want it. We have talked with them. They need the incentive.

This is going to help them with their procurement companies. The fact that it's now essentially a federal mandate. Again, it's something the hospitals wanted. It's something they needed. We want to do this very, very quickly. As Dr. Oz pointed out, food in hospitals is so uniformly sucky. We have one of our producers. You don't think this is going to happen? He said if you want Medicare money, you've got to get brand name Jell-O. That's as far as it's going to go. How do you know that?

Why are you so negative, bro? A couple of things. One is I'm very affable in the hospital. I've never been in the hospital before. Affable? Like you're nice? I don't get that on the show. I'm nice. I'm nice. I always have a one-liner. For the first couple of days, they kept rotating people in and out. My one-liner was always the same. Someone would come in, the new shift nurse, the shift sub-nurse, the nurse practitioners, one after the other.

They always check your pulse and do all this stuff and charge Medicare for doing it over and over and over. Every time they'd come in, they'd introduce themselves and say, how are you doing? I'd always say, I'm in the hospital. Did they think that was funny the 20th time you did it? I thought it was funny. If I didn't get a laugh, I would have stopped doing it. I did it about, I'd say, 100 times.

In the process, the food thing would come up in the conversations and I'd bitch and moan about the food, complaining I can't eat it. You can't swallow it. It's like eating sand. They'd say, yeah, it's not good. They'd all agree with me. Except one nurse who said, I think the food here is great. You've never had the food at the VA. I told this story. Your memory is shot. No, I remember telling this story before. Now that I bring it up, I'm worried about you. They did something to your memory.

The reason I'm telling this story is because you asked specifically why do I think this isn't going to happen. When she said that, which I've said it before, I realized that institutionally it can't happen because they don't care. If you like the food from the VA, there's a lack of care. Now we had one of our producers wrote a long, very nice note about how he took over a hospital and started actually turning it into a profit center. He took over the cafeteria because everything was canned.

It was all from Cisco or worse. They didn't make anything there. They couldn't even, you know, they couldn't even slice a pat of butter. You had to buy it pre-cut. I mean, it was a nightmare. He could do it. It's doable, but it takes a maniac to do it. There's no impetus. No impetus whatsoever. This is never going to happen. Well, you heard it here first. Guy stays in the hospital once in his life and now he's an expert. That's right. I am. Believe me, I studied the process.

Well, millions of experts around the world, particularly in America. You know, you can tell if you go into a company, you've done this, you can go into a company and you can see the corporate culture's no good. And it's not going to change. Well, yeah. You're probably right. You're probably right. No, that's too bad. Unless you get a guy like that guy, our producer guy. Our guys know how to run a hospital cafeteria. But he gave up and went to do something else, make more money. Exactly.

There you go. Our guys just want to make more money. So back to other experts around the world, particularly in the United States, are rejoicing today. If you're a ballistics expert, you're rejoicing today. We have breaking news about the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk. There's a new court filing in the case of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassination. Lawyers for the man accused of short shooting Kirk say the bullet doesn't match the gun investigators say was used in the crime.

Prosecutors say beyond that bullet, they have DNA evidence that connects Tyler Robinson to the shooting. It happened back in September while Kirk spoke at events on the campus on Utah Valley University. Robinson's attorneys are asking to delay his preliminary hearing. They want more time to review evidence. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty. CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson says this is not unusual.

It is sometimes difficult to match bullets that were recovered at autopsy with bullets that are associated with a defendant's gun. And that could be based on lack of evidence and lack of markings on those bullets. Hmm. Hmm. This makes it all very skeptical. The bullet shattered. Oh no! No, that by itself was not possible. No, the bullet's going to shatter. It's gone through. It's a 30-odd, 30-odd six. 30-odd six. Go right through them.

Candace Owens shooting back to the top of the podcast charts on YouTube. Is she really? Oh, people love her. There's women here who are, it's 4 p .m. I'm sorry I turned my phone on silent. I'm watching Candace. It's time for Candace. Yes. I wonder if Candace Owens ever realized what a natural presenter she is. Oh, she's very natural at it. Yeah, she's very good. She's nuts, but she's very good at it. She's nuts, but she is very good.

Yeah. So something really cool happened in the world of big tech and AI as Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code? Go ahead. I talked to JC about this this morning to get it straightened out. Well, shall I play the clips and then you can give me the synopsis? Yeah, play the clips. Well, yeah, play the clips. This is one of those YouTuber guys. I'll just give you the synopsis.

They published a new version of Claude Code, an application, but the way they did it is they accidentally included all of the source code. Yesterday, the most ironic thing ever happened.

Anthropic, a $380 billion startup built on the idea of safety first, that advocates for closed source software for the supposed benefit of humanity, a company Elon calls misanthropic, whose logo is definitely not a sphincter, whose CEO has been warning us for years that human programmers will be replaced by AI in six months, just accidentally leaked Claude Code's entire source code to the internet at 4 a.m., officially making Anthropic more open than OpenAI.

I love this guy because he's kind of, he's like a young JCD, a little snarky, and he throws in the, whose logo does not at all look like a sphincter, and then you have to look at the logo like, yeah, you're right, it does look like a sphincter. So here's how it happened. But how did this code end up leaked in the first place? Well, as I mentioned, the source map was accidentally packaged in an NPM release, but that's weird because build tools normally strip out source maps automatically.

Well, Claude Code is built on Bunjs, which, as you might recall, was recently acquired by Anthropic. And it just so happens that about three weeks ago, somebody opened up an issue on GitHub about Bunjs serving source maps in production. Wouldn't it be ironic if the fastest JavaScript runtime in the world also turned out to be the fastest way to ship your entire codebase to the internet?

And so, while that is all relatively interesting, I mean, I'm not like running off to go fork the code, I don't know if I can do anything with it, but no later than a few days after I said that this whole AI run these models locally, it's the new Tamagotchi? Boom! Like there's a hidden capability under a feature flag called Buddy, which appears to be a new Tamagotchi-style companion that every developer can customize and raise like a little digital pet.

This might just be Anthropic's April Fool's Day joke, but there are also references to Opus 4.7 and a new model called Capybara, which might be their new recently teased Mythos model. There's also things like Ultra Plan, Coordinator Mode, and Demon Mode, but perhaps the most interesting is Kairos, which is a Greek word for an exact moment in time, or God's time.

I hate to beat off a dead horse here, but it's a bit ironic that Anthropic didn't get to reveal Kairos at the exact time it wanted to, and instead, God chose the right time. The feature itself seems to be some kind of background agent that keeps a daily journal, uses Dream Mode to consolidate memories, and does work for you in the background on a specific schedule.

Pretty cool, but at the end of the day, this leak is a pretty huge setback for Anthropic, which hopes to IPO later this year and offload their bags to the retail public. And it's yet another reminder that your top -secret application is just one npm publish away from becoming open source, whether you like it or not. So my takeaway is this is not really a big deal.

It kind of shows that, you know, it's all about the prompting and this is a big piece of code that they've refined for their prompting. The cloud code is quite fantastic, I have to say, the way it interacts with their model. I don't think it's going to hurt them in any way. What did JC have to say? He says this is exaggerated. It's not. There's pieces of what they're doing that were not broken out.

He says there's a battle within the company that put some of this stuff open source anyway, and it's possible they put it out there because they need to get some feedback. And he basically said it's bullshit and it's also distracting from the Merkur hack, which is apparently a massive hack that these guys are doing AI training using experts. You should look into that. And their stuff, all of it got released and it turns out they're breaking the law. There's all kinds of vials.

It's just a whole slew of problems for this company. Nobody's talking about that and they're talking about this anthropic thing and it's not important. What is Merkur? You've got to look it up. Well, so you can't tell me. I can tell you. It's a company that Merkur. Yeah, M-E-R-C-O-R. Yeah. They train AI using experts to train. It's a completely different approach, which is very effective and unfortunately it's all gone. that's not unfortunate. This is great. The more...

The more this stuff is open source and we can run it at home, the better. I see it as fantastic and there's no stopping this. These Chinese models they keep coming out with... Oh, and by the way, according to JC, what would happen at Merkur or Merkur, the Chinese will gobble up. Yes, and they'll make a compressed version of it. It's quite fascinating what you can do with this stuff at home and that's where this whole bubble is going to pop. I'm not against these models.

They're definitely good uses for them. I finally loaded that model, the 11 Labs voice. I have cancelled my subscription. They lost me as a customer because I can run it at home on a Raspberry Pi with an old graphic, a GPU from NVIDIA. An old one that someone gave to me. I'm not making ISOs with it, don't worry. Why should I worry? Because 11 Labs is your go-to. I've moved on.

Oracle, who are big in the data center game, they are doing whatever they can to keep raising money through debt to keep building data centers, which I think is a big mistake. Let's get to our Seema Modi with a news alert on Oracle. I can confirm from two insiders that Oracle is laying off thousands of employees. Notifications were sent out today. It comes as the company continues to double down on its massive AI bed, developing and leasing data centers across the country.

As we know, it's gone to the debt market to fund these bets, now looking at another option by reducing its workforce as a way to drum up more cash. In fact, there was a TD Cowen report last month suggesting that 20 to 30,000 layoffs would free up around $10 billion. So I look into this story like, well, who are they firing? Why are they firing?

And most of these companies, well, you know, AI is so efficient, we don't need any more, we don't need programmers, that's what everyone's using now as an excuse to unload employees. But in Oracle's case, I came across this clip, Indian news source, it's kind of believable. Fire the Indians! Just days ago, we told you that tech giant Oracle was planning mass layoffs, and now that moment has arrived. Tech giant Oracle Corporation has begun a mass round of layoffs across its global offices.

Employees in the US, India, and other regions are reportedly receiving termination emails. TODI, with many, informed that the same day would be their last working day. There was no prior notice, no HR call, and no discussion with managers, just a formal email from the company leadership. Well, there is no official confirmation yet on the scale of layoffs. Posts from individuals claiming to be affected or aware of the situation suggest that multiple teams in India may have been impacted.

Some users allege that entire teams saw significant reductions, while others claim that even managers were not informed in advance about who would be let go. Teams across multiple divisions, including key tech and operations units, have reportedly seen significant job cuts, with some teams losing nearly 30% of their workforce. Oracle's India operations, including its development centers, have also been impacted, with employees across roles and levels affected.

The company has offered severance packages, but only after employees signed separation documents for India. The severance is expected to follow the standard N plus 2 formula, while uninvested stock benefits will not be paid. Reports suggest that this could be one of Oracle's biggest restructuring exercises, with estimates indicating up to 30,000 job cuts globally.

The move is being linked to the company's aggressive expansion into AI infrastructure, which has significantly increased financial pressure. I think it's valid to say that you can get rid of a bunch of Indian programmers. That seems pretty valid. Yeah, get rid of them, 20,000 of them. What's the wrong, Phoebe? Why are you barking? Okay, I have a few clips now. All right. Let's start with the Kid Rock clip. You heard about this, right? I've heard about it. I somehow was able to avoid it.

Tonight, the breaking headline after those U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters hovered over Kid Rock's house, the performer saluting them. Tonight, what's now happened to those Army pilots. Let's get right to Martha Ravitz. David, tonight, a major reversal. Early today, the Army said they had suspended the four crew members of those Apache attack helicopters, which were seen in that video doing a low-level flyby in front of the home of singer Kid Rock in Nashville.

He could be seen waving and then saluting the crew. The Army is saying they take any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously. President Trump, who is a friend of Kid Rock's, even said they probably shouldn't have been doing it. You're not supposed to be playing games. But shortly after the president made those comments, Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X, the U .S. Army pilots' suspensions lifted. No punishment. No investigation.

Carry on patriots, he said, and thanked Kid Rock. All right. I have some personal experience with this, but your commentary is welcome. You know, it was goofy. They probably shouldn't do this stuff. It's a waste of the taxpayers' money. So, I went to Iraq in 2003, and we were there with the Dutch Marines. We made one excursion. It was about a six-hour drive to Basra base. And that's where the Dutch heli detachment was. And they were running all the Chinook helicopters.

And so we hung out without... We were doing documentary. We were filming. We were doing live radio show from Camp Smitty in Samoa province. And it was known that I had my helicopter license. I was flying helicopters at the time in Holland. And so these guys, like, we'll fly you guys back. Now, I cannot confirm or deny if they let me fly the helicopter to 150 foot above the deck. But anyway, so you make friends. You make friends. So you got to fly a Chinook?

I can't confirm or deny, but heck yeah. You know how that works? It's the easiest helicopter to fly in the world, because there's no torque. There's no counter torque because of the two rotors. Right. So you don't have to, you know, coordinate your feet with your... Oh, that's cool. And so what they do is they have a GPS moving map display and they overlay a piece of plastic, you know, like when I was... For anyone who remembers the overhead projector. What's that called?

Was it called the overhead projector where you put the slides on? They were called overhead projectors. Thank you. The cellophane and those would be transparent foils. Foils, foils. Oh man, you got to go look that one up, kids, to see what we had before you had video projectors. We had a box of light and you put a foil on it that had, you know, drawings on it and letters and it would project up to a mirror and the mirror would then project onto a screen or the wall.

And you'd move these foils back and forth. The good old days. So they had one of those foils and they had a line on it and it said just follow the line. And you had to go 150 feet because if you're any higher, the RPGs could get to you. That's what they said. So, anyhow, I'm flying 150 feet. It was like a video game. It was so easy. And then it's like, okay, you're going to do a 40 degrees right, 3, 2, 1. So did that. Anyway, did the whole thing. We landed at our base. But we became friends.

And when I would fly from the castle, ah, the days were good when I had money. We'd fly from the castle up to Amsterdam because I had a helipad at the house. Oh man, I miss having that. Anyway, spent it all. Burned it in the air. And I'd fly past the helicopter base. And so sometimes they'd come out with two Chinooks and they'd fly side by side. I'm in my little helicopter. And sometimes they'd say, okay, we're forcing you to land. We're forcing you to have coffee.

Okay, and so I'd land at the base. But from time to time, they would come over the house, over the castle in Belgium. With the Chinook, they'd open the loading bay door and they'd wave. They'd be waving. And it was incredibly destructive because plants were flying all over the place. Koi were flying out of the pond. And it was fun. And I was like, it's not really wasting any money. They're in the area. They just fly by. They go, hey, Curry. And they wave and they fly off.

So then, you know, why this is such a big scandal, I don't know. It's Kid Rock, you know. It's a Trump. Well, yeah, they hate Trump. Which brings us to the other scandal. I might as well get to this one. The update on the ballroom. The troll room was like, you had Koi? Ballroom update. A new stop work order from a federal court on President Trump's passion project. The White House ballroom. That order halts construction unless Congress approves the plans. The administration quickly appealed.

The President clearly frustrated. Basically, he's saying I need Congressional approval. And he's so wrong. Judge Richard Leon had granted the request of a preservation group with a pointed message for the builder-in-chief. The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of first families. He is not, however, the owner. The ballroom is never far from the President's mind, publicly balancing his wartime duties and construction management.

I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this. But I'm fighting wars and other things. This is very important. His vision, gigantic with seating capacity for up to 1,000 guests. The cost swelling to $400 million. Privately funded, he says. Buried below... The military is building a big complex under the ballroom. This new legal fight spurred by that October surprise. The destruction of the East Wing ended century of history. Wreckage without the typical oversight.

The federal judge writes the President went too far. No statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have. And Kelly O'Donnell also live at the White House tonight for us. Kelly, construction continued today, though? The judge does allow that they can finish up projects so that they don't leave the site unsafe. Well, the President said the entire project is about safety, and he suggested they can keep going. I can't wait until this thing is finished, the ballroom.

I think Marco Rubio is going to get the boys back together. That would be good. For a dance. Put on a show. For a little show. Well, there was a follow-up to this, which was always, you know, kind of half conspiracy, half, like, well, makes sense. And Carolyn Levitt had to answer the question in the briefing room. Can you tell us more about this massive military complex underneath the President's new ballroom? I cannot tell you more about that, actually, as a matter of fact.

However, the military is making some upgrades to their facilities here at the White House, and I'm not privy to provide any more details on that at this time. Yeah, massive. Upgrade, upgrade, you know what that means. Under the White House, the military is already there. Yeah. With a bunker. Yeah, well, I don't think that was a surprise, was it? Well, I, yeah, a little bit. I'm kind of expecting. The White House, the President lives there. What's going on underneath the, in the basement?

Important stuff. Well, the first, have you not watched Paradise? Don't you know how this works? I love that show. Paradise? Yeah, it's probably one of those shows you watch 30 seconds and went, it's on Hulu. The second season, just, I think the second season is almost over. What's it about?

Massive event, volcanic eruption, and then everyone starts shooting off nukes at each other, and some Silicon Valley billionaires had built an entire underground city in a bunker in Colorado in the mountains and the President and these billionaires all go there, and there's, I don't know, 20 ,000 people, and they live in a bit of a, what is it, what was the movie with Jim Carrey?

Truman Show. A bit of a Truman Show world, where there's a fake sky, and they have, you know, they've got Waffle House, and they all live their little lives, but people on the outside survived, and so then the people on the outside are trying to get on the inside, and it just goes on from there. Sounds far-fetched. Not really. Not really. Well, I mean, the whole world underground was pretty elaborate, but it's a pretty good show. I mean, you know, what else are we going to watch? Well...

Exactly. Chinese television, like you, to learn how to speak Chinese? How's that working out? Mandarin. Mandarin, yeah. Ah-so. Yeah, ah-so yourself. Okay, so have you heard the Matt Gates stuff? No. All right. Well, now you're going to hear it. Good. Matt Gates on aliens. I think the most important information will be the biologics that are not human, that have been discovered, and, like, even some of the briefings that aren't classified just need to be out in the public.

I mean, I had someone come and brief me, who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that. What the eff is going on? Wait a second, you had whistleblowers tell you this kind of thing? Do you, please, unpack that?

This is a four-minute clip. We're playing the whole thing. Oh, I thought I broke it into two. Well, you tell me when to stop. There is a number two that's 30 seconds. Stop it there. Stop it. Play number two. What do you mean non-human biologics?

Well, that was the testimony of David Grush before the House Oversight Committee, which I joined, and the testimony was that in crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA and through a special program that the CIA had for crash recovery, that it wasn't just the hard materials, it was also biologics, but that they couldn't identify a human source of those biologics. Nah, David Grush, isn't he the guy that makes alien movies? Let me check. I'm pretty sure that's the guy.

Yeah, he says he's a whistleblower, but hasn't he been working making movies for over a decade? The whole thing is sketchy. It is. I mean, look, I flew to go meet an alien one time. I was all in on this stuff. I've only been disappointed time after time after time. Yeah, you're going to meet an alien. During the show, the show era, you were going to meet an alien. I was promised. You were all jacked up about it. Yes. And cocky, I might add. Well, this was in my second wife days.

Or was it my first, though? I don't remember. No, no, no. This was before your second wife. Go on. Well, I was just going to say, I wanted you to confirm that it was before. It was around that time. I remember I had the airplane. You had a lot of stuff, and you are also a big believer in spraying water into gasoline or something. No, no. I had a hydroxy booster, which created hydrolysis and created a gas automobile efficiency. Yeah, that was that era.

And then because the alien guy not showing up, you bummed out on the whole thing. Yeah, because I got screwed once again. I'm not buying it anymore. That's what it looks like. You got screwed on that deal. So the whole thing is going on around and around because of the Spielberg movie. Oh, do you have a clip? What is the Spielberg movie? Last year, remember that movie, Disclosure? Oh, they're going to blow the lid off everything and get all these people in Congress.

That wasn't a Spielberg movie, though. No, no. I'm just saying last year. Last year, there was a movie called Disclosure, or something like Age of Disclosure or some damn thing. Rubio was in the movie. Oh, yeah. They told us that there was aliens. Oh, yeah. There's one guy after another. Just bogus testimony. No evidence. No photos. No alien autopsies. No nothing. The whole thing. So now this year, Spielberg's got a movie coming out just shortly called Disclosure something. You can look it up.

I'm looking it up now. Spielberg's movie. Hold on a second. There's got to be a trailer. Let me see. Spielberg. I don't know if the trailer's out. Disclosure trailer. Oh, maybe. Usually these things. If you're talking about it. Here we go. Three weeks ago. Here we go. Let's see. I got this. Whoa. Oh, he's got special access. Are they people? No. They're aliens. What? Oh, no. Crop circles. They got crop circles. Man, remember the crop circles? Oh, yeah. In England?

Every week there was a new crop circle. And I was all in on that too. Like, these are real, John. This is not some... Yeah, you were quite convinced. I know. And people miss that about the show. But what can I say? I know. That's why I'm bringing this in. Oh, please. Hold on. Let's listen to this some more. From director Steven Spielberg. Oh, no. She's having a brain freeze. She's stroking out. Is it a vaccine injury? Oh, no. Oh, no. Her head is changing. What's happening?

Oh, no. It's about to explode? Oh, the nuns are watching. Do you understand what she's saying? I can't wait to watch that one. Yeah. Exciting. So, I have a very long clip here. I didn't intend to put it in the show, but it's about Spielberg. And there's this hack. It's a hack. It's probably not really a hack. But this guy, Peter Duke, who's been a showrunner. He's been in Hollywood forever. He's on the Ripple Effect podcast. That's a popular podcast. It's very popular. I think it's well done.

They hate Jews. Standard stuff. It's your go-to. That kind of thing. What's your podcast about? We hate Jews. Stuff like that. That's our podcast. That's what we do, man. It's simple. It doesn't take a lot of effort. So, they had this guy on talking trash about Spielberg. And I thought it got interesting if you, I think the first minute and a half you play this Peter Duke Ripple Effect.

If you play the first minute and a half, he claims with some justification that Spielberg has always worked for the Pentagon. Oh, yeah. It wouldn't surprise me. Let's play this. Richard Grove, he did a great documentary. Probably one of my favorite documentaries and one I recommend quite often.

The State of Mind, The Psychology of Control, which really goes into the whole history of social engineering and how far back it goes and these techniques have been used over and over again to control the masses. I guess when you talk about that, it kind of highlights what you're saying in regards to the Zeitgeist movement got a lot of shit from religious people, Peter Joseph.

But I think one of the things he was trying to highlight in his first film was the fact that you can use religion to control the masses. He was kind of opening up talking about all these techniques to control the masses from false flags and these events that spark emotion and empathy and revenge and then use that like September 11th to go into Iraq and Afghanistan or you use spirituality, religion, scripture this higher power idea to convince you that you're doing something for the greater good.

So yeah, these are all techniques to control people. Somebody else we brought up quite a bit and I wanted your thoughts on it because it's complete left turn but I'm kind of curious. You talked about Steven Spielberg. What do you think of his new movie Disclosure or Disclosure Day? There's a lot of conversations about why he's doing a movie like this. I know he's always kind of been, people say he's always been fascinated with the topic.

Do you think it's just him being fascinated with the topic or is it more like you mentioned? Is there a reason for the timing? I think Steven Spielberg is part of the Pentagon and he's very good at what he does. I mean, one of the things that they're very good at, the Office of Net Assessments, I think, goes out and assesses people. And I think that Steven Spielberg was assessed as very competent at what he does because he is very competent at what he does.

And it's funny because when I worked at the Shoal Foundation Institute my title had been at every other company that I worked at, creative director but I wasn't allowed to have that title and I wasn't allowed to have that title because Steven doesn't believe that creativity is human.

He believes that it's a gift from God and that you can be a design director but you can't be a creative director, which I always thought was so he's very specific about words, but now that I'm so specific about words, I totally understand where he's coming from. But I've had several friends who were personal assistants to Steven Spielberg in different capacities, but like in the room with him every day, following him around, taking notes, getting stuff done.

One of my friends told me that he was working at Amblin, which was down the drive. I was at Stage 35, which doesn't exist to this day, but in the 1990s when I was working on a lot of Universal, when I worked for Joel Schumacher, I worked at Amblin. Wait, wait, you can stop it there, but you have to let this finish because he has a really good story in the producer's building, which is next to what they call the Black Tower in the front of the studio. This is the problem, he's doing a shaggy dog.

Hold on, people out there who do, if you're going to start doing podcasts, Mimi does this. You get to the point. He's getting to the point, but all of a sudden now he's talking about this and that. He's roaming away, he's shaggy dogging the thing. It's annoying. So do you want me to shuttle forward? No, no, keep playing. Now that I've warned everybody, they can put up with it. When I worked at Gameworks, I worked on Stage 35, which was an old sitcom stage.

I mean, was my helicopter story too shaggy dog? I didn't think that was too shaggy dog. No, no, not at all. When you do shaggy dog, believe me, you noted my displeasure. Yes, yes. It was in the back lot, close to where they have all of the outdoor scenes sets. And it's just down the drive. The reason I was on that stage is because it was just down the driveway from Amblin. And Amblin is a building that Lou Wasserman built for Steven Spielberg after, I think, Jaws came out.

Lou Wasserman didn't want Steven Spielberg to ever leave Universal, and he basically built him a little palace on the back lot at Universal, which is still there to this day. So my friend who worked at Amblin told me that they used to ask the same question that I asked when I worked in the producer's building, which is, how do they decide what movies they're going to make?

And he told me about an event that happened where Steven went and was gone for a couple of weeks and met with some people and he didn't go into any details about who the people were.

But at one point, Steven called into the office and they had an all hands meeting, and everybody came into the conference room and everybody at Amblin came into a conference room with their yellow legal pads and their pens, and Steven was on the speakerphone, and he told them what the nine projects were that they were going to do that year. He just dictated them out. We're going to make a movie about this. We're going to make a movie about that.

We're going to make a television series about this. We're going to make a television series about that. And everybody got their marching orders, and then they went and they made those movies and made those TV shows. So that story, to me, makes me think, well, he was getting read in. You know, he was meeting with the Tavistock people or... The Tavistock people? You mean the trans people? No. Let it finish. It's almost done. You know... Literally five and a half minutes. You owe me.

That's why I said you had to break it up. He gets his marching orders from, and they tell him, this is what you're going to go make. These are the movies and the TV shows that you're going to make. Why don't you just go on that podcast? I mean, you're playing a podcast on a podcast. Yeah, okay. So the point he's trying to make, which you won't let him finish. No, I'll let him finish. I think that's the way it works.

I think that's the same way it works with Chris Carter and the same way that it works with Mark Burnett and with Sammy Ismail and all the other showrunners. Who's the guy who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer? These people get marching orders. Oh, I get it. The Jews. And they march. The Jews. He's moving on to a more general view. I agree with this. He's talking about Slo Mo and Weisenheimer and all those guys. How did these things get... Who picks what and how?

You know, Brunetti, I sent him this clip and he had no pushback on it. He was offered to go to one of these meetings and given marching orders. He's Brunetti, so no, I'm not going. But this is not surprising. Is this surprising to you? Well, a little bit for a guy like Spielberg. Oh, no. He's the top guy. Think of all the movies he's done that have been important for social engineering. Absolutely. Oh, no. In fact, I think this is why OpenAI had to shut down Sora. It's like, you can't do that.

We can't have everybody syoping everybody else with movies. You've got to shut that stuff down. And what do they do? Oh, look, we've got a great camera for you, Hollywood. I'm convinced of it. You've got to stop that. We can't have people making their own propaganda movies. In fact, I've got a clip here. Where's this from? This is from Global, the Canadian guys. And they're talking about the propaganda which is done with AI by both Iran or Iranian actors and America or American actors or Jews.

I don't know. The propaganda war over Iran has taken a strange turn. The White House and the Iranian regime are trolling each other online in a war of means, posting videos like these on their official social media channels. It started with the White House posting videos of real airstrikes on Iran, edited together with clips from American action movies and video games, even SpongeBob SquarePants. You want to see me do it again?

With captions such as Justice the American Way and Wake Up Daddy's Home. This obscene focus on lethality and the celebration of violence, this focus on a gaming culture where victims vanish from moral consideration is utterly immoral. Tehran is now firing back. By the time a satellite finds me, I'm already gone. The regime's propaganda studio producing these animations. Many depicting Lego figures of the U.S.

President, Israeli Prime Minister and the Devil, plotting attacks on Iran to distract from the Epstein scandal. A lot of this stuff would seem silly if it wasn't obviously such a serious situation. Is this stuff actually effective? I mean, I think it's effective in functioning as rallying cries. We are talking about content that's been viewed in the billions.

What started as a propaganda war between the American and Iranian governments has now spiraled into an online free-for-all with other apparently ordinary users deploying AI technology to produce not only memes but deepfake videos of the war. This video purports to show an Iranian attack on the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormuz. While this one claims to show Israel's airport being struck by an Iranian missile. Both are fake. The use of AI is just shedding doubt everywhere.

So it's making things more believable but it's also making things not believable in the sense that anything and everything can be edited or fully AI generated. This parallel information war is blurring the lines between real and fake. So this is the real issue at hand and the video stuff, you know, movies is definitely the way to go. Remember the CIA was all over the Moscow Music Peace Festival and I didn't even know it at the time.

Other than I got interviewed by some dudes who came into my manager's office and said, oh you're going to Russia stay away from hookers they're all KGB, stay at the hotel, you don't want to go anywhere else, you want to be careful. But as it turns out, that was you know, listening to the Winds of Change podcast that whole thing was a psy-op to get kids to get ready to bust out when the wall came down. And they, you know, we all know that it was David Hasselhoff who premeditated that.

But the real psy-ops is social media. And if we believe him or not, here's a blast from the past, Steve Pchenik, we haven't talked about him in a long time. Is this recent? No, no, no, this is from back in the day when we were still talking. Steve Pchenik was quite explicit in telling me that DARPA had been experimenting with social networks, now probably not the way we have them today, but online social networks, probably more along the lines of news groups, you know, stuff like that.

And maybe even America Online and the CB Simulator to see how... Oh, the CB Simulator. No, that was CompuServe. How you could manipulate people and how you could have multiple actors online, you know, talking for and against each other. And the social media networks of today are a goldmine, it's just a goldmine for this type of operation. I see it all the time on my ex-account. And you'll see people who are saying things, people, bots, I'm convinced 70% of them are bots.

And they'll be commenting on... You go look at them, you know, no followers, numbers in the name, account from 2016, like, okay, yeah, that makes sense. And this was the subject of a bit here on Deutsche Welle. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Yeah, and none of it's good. It's entertaining.

Well, how different is that, what's the difference between that and having, like, in Russia or Ukraine or wherever, a building full of people on the computer acting as, you know, as one with marching orders, say, 500 people making an extra amount of money, and all they do is post all day. It's cheaper. You think it's cheaper? I think the AI is cheaper, yeah. It's a lot cheaper. But it's the same thing. Yeah, but, you know, they can do it 24-7, they can micro-target stupid podcasters.

Eh, let's get after that curry. Eh, let's do that. He gets all worked up and he does a voice. I'm telling you. Somebody said that to you. What, no, people say that all the time. When people email me, read this in your libtard voice. That's the one I'm not going to read, okay? That's not how it works. Anyway, no psyops here. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the cockeyed bazongas.

Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeMora. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam McHurry. Also, in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feed the airships and the water dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls, let me tell you a little, let me tell you a little story. We got 1,404, 1,404 trolls listening live to us as we speak. And what? What? It's not that good. We're losing it. Well, you know, you're not that good.

You know, you're not up to strength. You know, you're, you know, it's true, but that doesn't mean you have to abandon me. Oh, they abandoned you right away. The minute Mimi came in. Like, oh, well, that was fun. Well, it lasted stupid to the Dvorak. It has nothing to do with Mimi. It's just you. You know, it's bad for the show. Well, it's the truth. And have you contacted Void Zero about the, about the email? Working on it, working on it, working on it.

So that's an L. Hey, you know, I'm running at 50%. Hey, I'm the first one to say, I'm amazed that you're doing this show at all. No, I appreciate that too. At all. People forget, and they forget. They have no idea. Your chest was cracked open. You're going to be 74 years old on Sunday. So, you know, you're not, you know, wretchedly old, but it's, you know, it's a big procedure. And within a week of coming out of the hospital, you're like, here I am, I'm doing the show. I appreciate that. I do.

I also think that you need to do the show. It's a part of your healing process. Yeah, well, it gets me, yes, I do. So support John, if it's only just to keep him alive. This is the whole point of the newsletter. Support the show. Support the show, support the old man living. Those trolls are listening at noagendastream.com and they are, many of them are trolling along in the troll room. It's always much appreciated. And of course you can always listen on a modern podcast app.

This is what we recommend because then when we send off, when we fire off the bat signal, you will be notified. And if you're in the car, if you're, that's your job. Some of these modern podcast apps are pretty, they're pretty elaborate. Yes, have you tried any of them? Which ones have you tried? Yeah, Podverse recently. Very impressed. Wait until you see Podverse Next Generation. Mitch has been building on that for over a year. And Martin's come back with Podfriend. It's a friendly podcast app.

It's very fun. And he has all kinds of comments and stuff you can do. And this, the people just keep building. They keep on building. All part of Podcasting 2.0, which I just do for the love of it. Now you can listen tomorrow. We do the show live, the boardroom, we call that. About 400 people will listen total. So these modern podcast apps, when we go live, this is something we developed, then boom, you get a notification and you can listen live to the show.

Or within 90 seconds of publishing, you will get the show in your app. No waiting for these legacy apps. Don't wait around for those anymore. That's newpodcastapps.com. No Agenda Show has pioneered the value for value model. And the way that works is we don't have any ads. We don't have any forced subscriptions. Gosh, there was a great post someone showed me. The other, I forgot where that was. I should have saved it. There's no bonus content that you get if you're a member.

No special meetings, no special handshakes. Everything is out in the open. We give you the best that we have, which is really only 50% because John is slagging. So, well, I mean, with my 100, it's 75%. So we can do better. But bear with us. He'll get back to speed. He'll be as grouchy and grumpy as always. And he'll be pushing back more. I mean, you're not pushing back. This is the main complaint. You let Adam get away with everything now. Well, okay. Just saying.

Just giving you some feedback, show feedback. Well, who said that? Oh, people, just people, bots, bots, bots on X. So the way we do it is value for value. We give you all the value we have, and it is everything. We put it all out there, all the value we have, a lot of work goes into the show. John came loaded for bear. Did you get some clips from the clip collector, from Steve Jones? I have, yes, because I encouraged him to do that, and he's helping me out. Yeah, I saw that. And I have to, yeah.

I noticed. I have to organize, get together with him so I can, so he uses my- Your system. My system, yeah. Your naming system, yes. I recognize his numbering and naming system. Oh, okay. So now the clip collector, he's making decisions over which clips to give me and which clips to give you. All right, that's nice. So the way I see it, he gave half of the clips to you. Actually, more than half. He gave me a lot of clips. He did, he did, very nice. Well, this is what we're talking about.

So that's one of the ways you can return value. We consider everybody who's listening to the show not to be a fan or audience or listener. You're a producer. This is something we do it all together. So your job is to help us produce, and you can do that by returning value in one of the three T ways, time, talent, or treasure. That's all we ask for.

So helping produce clips, boots on the ground reports, or we have artwork, which we always appreciate people doing their best to come up with some prompts that make it funny. Now, the episode 1855, which he did on Sunday, it was titled Gooder. There's no way we couldn't use that. And this piece of art, a lot of people came in with Gooder arts, Gooder art pieces, and totem poles. Totem poles were a big hit for some reason.

Yeah. And so we had to- You know what, I got a note from one of our producers. You're full of crap. The totem poles aren't only in Washington and BC. We have them in Alaska. It's the same basic group of Indians. Yes, First Nations people, all right? Yeah, whatever. So Dan OB- I'm just old enough and having had a heart attack, I can say what I want. You know, have you ever tried this on your kids? You're giving me a heart attack. I mean, you should try that. It's a little too late now.

You're giving me another heart attack. Dan OBGYN4 is the one we chose. We liked this one. It had a lot in it. It had John's Order of the Red Heart. It had a microphone. It had 33s. It had what looked to me like a Mac Plus baked into it, and then Curry Dvorak totems behind it. The whole thing was good. The clouds, no agenda. Do you think this was completely AI, or did he do some work to it? I think it was completely AI. Well, it's dynamite. It's dynamite, I tell you. But he nailed it. He did.

Let's take a look at some of the other pieces that people sent in as suggestions. He had another version of this, which wasn't quite as compelling. That looked like Super Mario Brothers. I didn't quite like that one. The one I kind of, we don't do our faces. I did like Scaramanga's version of you with tats and a white T-shirt, and you had a bandana, and on the wall, it says, no agenda is gooder. I kind of liked that one.

That was kind of cool, but we don't really like using our faces, our likenesses. Can we explain why? No, I don't. Yeah, you've forgotten. I've forgotten why. Is it a copyright violation? No. The first three or four years of the show, every single piece of art was just the two of us in various poses. Oh, yeah. It was us every, every, and it was getting to the point where it was like, no, no, no. We got sick of ourselves. We were sick of ourselves. We got sick of it, and we banned it.

We said, no more pictures of us because there's at least 1,000. And people still do it. They don't know about the ban, apparently. Yeah, no, it's banned. Yeah, it's banned, but comic strip blogger, keep doing the buts. You're not gonna get chosen, but it's always fun. We can say, oh. You did point out that comic strip blogger nailed your walker on his piece here. Yeah. With the handbrakes. Yeah. How you doing with that thing? Are you getting around?

Well, I mean, I only use it when I'm out, you know, when I'm out. Here's the reason you have to have it. When you're out hitting on the lady. Hey, lady. Hey, girls. Because you had your chest ripped open, and you have the breastplate and everything has to heal. If they glue it back together and staple it and all this, it takes like months and months to get it to the point where it's secure.

So if you fall, if you fall under the circumstances that I'm currently existing within, you have to be taken back to the emergency room and they're gonna have to put you. They're gonna screw you up. It breaks it open. Yeah, we don't want that. So that's why you have this loose. And I only use it outside if I have to walk around. And I can walk pretty fast. But it's not the walk, it's not the problem. It's just the accident, the possibility of a trip.

And in fact, they tell you this at the hospital. If you fall within the next four months, you don't let anyone try to pick you up, call 911. That's the nature of it. If that doesn't drive you to grabbing one of these devices, nothing will. Okay, all right. There you go. Now, the more horrors. Yes, horrors, more horrors. Nobody wants to hear this.

I felt super bad because Tina went to the PO box and she got our Little John's Candies collab with Eli the Coffee Guy gigawatt, which you can't have either. You can't have chocolate or coffee. Right. Oh man, that stuff is so good. Yeah, I know. It has little cherries in there and they sent us some chocolate Easter bunnies. Also, who's the joker who sent us the pool water? Did you get a box of pool water? I did not get a box of pool water. So it's artisan pool water.

They're like metal kind of aluminum bottles. It seems like a novelty thing. It's water, it's just water. From the swimming pool? Well, it's called pool water. So yeah, that's kind of, it's funny. But they sent it in a box marked media mail, which I believe is intended for stuff like media, like photographs. Yeah, it's a discount. Well, right. And so Tina picks it up. I wish I was there. The Pakistani lady got in her face. You're stealing from me. Tina's like, what are you talking about?

You're stealing. This is stealing from the post office. This is stealing from me. And Tina's like, well, I didn't order this. Someone sent it to me. Well, next time I send it back or I charge you. She got really mad about it. And Tina, well, but it's from one of my husband's millions of listeners. Well, I don't care about him. What is he, a podcaster? I ain't go away. So don't do that, people. Don't rip off the post office. They got mad at us, the recipients. Not supposed to do that.

Yeah, you're not supposed to do that, I guess. I don't know. But it's appreciated, the pool water, but almost as much, not as much as that Little John's Candies gigawatt stuff. It's a dynamite combination. So we wanna thank all of our producers who support us financially. That is the treasure part of Time, Talent and Treasure. And we will thank everybody, $50 and above. We have special, special spots reserved for those who can afford more.

Just like any big Hollywood production, you can be an executive or associate executive producer if you got the goods. So $200 or more, you receive the title of associate executive producer, which is an absolute bona fide production credit. You can use it anywhere. Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com. Go take a look. You'll see thousands are in there. And we'll read your note. $300 and above, same deal, only then you're an executive producer and we'll read your note.

And we start off with $1,333.13 from Sir Anonymous, driver of The Gap. And he says, John, glad you're getting better. I can't deal with another loss this year. Oh goodness. Oh, this is sad. We lost our son in the third trimester late last year. And this month we lost our four-year -old puppy unexpectedly. The podcast is a constant that I truly love and look forward to. No more losses, only additions in this year ahead. With one exception, no more AI ISOs. They cheapen the product, he says.

He wants F22 Karma, which I'm sure he won't mind if I upgrade it to F35 Karma. And when I'm thinking of you, Sir Anonymous, driver of The Gap. You've got Karma. Hey, is your foot hooked in the mic cable again? No, Lindsey Carson and Ressica, Ressica, I don't know, Georgia. Ressica, Ressica, probably Ressica. Could be Ressica. Ressica, I'm thinking Ressica. Anyways, 86765, another big donation, that's pretty good. Dear John and Adam, ITM Gents, this day has been a long time coming.

Please de-douche me. Here's a de- I'm sorry, it's the wrong button. You've been de-douched. Wrong button. Play that one. What, the one I just played? Yeah. Hold on a second, let me load it up again. Here we go. Here's a de-douche for the re-douche. It was de-douche for the re-douche, that's my mistake.

I have now finally paid my value for value penances with a dame-worthy donation coincidence that I made the largest sale of my real estate career in the same week, in the same week that JCD returned from the lucid dead. I think not. My sister Lauren and my friend Alex both hit me in the mouth a very long time ago and I'm grateful for all things, no agenda. I can hear my voice. You want me to pick it up? Cause this is a long time. I'm gonna finish this one. I'm gonna, I'm gonna plow through it.

You can do it. You can do it. I like it, right? I really can't overstate how transformative the learning live media deconstruction has been for me. I just graduated my oldest daughter from homeschooling and having the show's coverage of a political and world events and especially all the wild stuff happening in schools has been a huge part of keeping me determined to stay the course with her and with her two sisters. Yes, of course.

You don't want your kids to be nut jobs like the rest out there. Yep. The lifeline the show became during COVID also stands out in my experience. The show jargon, jingles, isos, mixes and inside jokes are a constant source of entertainment and make me feel like I'm part of something special. You are. But my favorite story arc in the time I've been listening is witnessing Adam's faith conversion. What a testimony. Anyway, ZZZ, I am beyond thrilled that I will, I don't know what that means.

Oh, anyway. Okay. I am beyond thrilled that I would have a chance to celebrate the 11th anniversary of my 33rd, 33rd birthday this year by attending my first meetup with my sister and fellow human resources in Fredericksburg. Woo! I'd like to be known as Dame Lindsay of the House Hunters. And if any of the Noah generation needs a realtor in Northwest Georgia, Google me and let's connect. Rosé and Hot Cheetos for the round table.

Jingle requests a foamer and you've got prayers and you've got prayers should do it. Thank you for your courage, Lindsay. Listen to that horn! You've got prayers. ♪ Praise the Lord, He rules. ♪ Uh, let me see. I don't think I got the... Guys, did we order the Cheetos? The Cheetos and the Rosé? They always have Cheetos. They eat them. Cheetos and Hot Rosé. Okay. And that was 86765. We see what you did there.

Associate Executive Producership for Sir Nobody of the 3D Printer in Parland, New Jersey, 233 and 30 cents. Hey John Adam, he says, I'm seeing 33s everywhere so I must be grateful and donate. I figured I'd plug a friend's Kickstarter. I was at it. I was at it? It's for a movie followup from the makers of Missouri Breaks The Ballad of Missouri Biltern, an indie film that made it to Amazon streaming. Oh, we should all stream that then. The Ballad of Missouri Biltern.

I like building up small projects to get through the nihilism that has seemed to have inhabited mainstream media for some reason. Tinfoil hat people have fun with why nihilism is going on. Where even shadows fear to tread, phase one. That's the Kickstarter. I'll put that in the show notes. I thank you as always for the show. It breaks up the long hours of logistics work with two jobs that are 24-7. Sir Nobody of the 3D Printer definitely working on a title change.

Got to look up the account, Jersey James Scott and we thank you very much for your courage. Onward to Matthew. Ah, our buddy. Matthew Martel in Broomhall, Pennsylvania.

No, it's not. Then we go to La Jolla Salt Corporation. Void Zero is not doing the mailing. No, he's not doing it. I thought it was going to help you. Yeah, it's going to help me, but it's beside the point we had. There's a lot of things at play all at once. Okay, there's a lot of things at play. La Jolla Salt Corporation comes in with $210 .60 and we are very thankful. They say decimate dry skin with a luxurious sea salt scrub from lajollasalt.com.

Enjoy the dazzling moisture and exfoliating power of our small batch sea salt scrubs and handmade by the sea in the village of La Jolla. All things being equal, select to scrub, rinse, and then tug to avoid chafing. People, please support the show. It's good to have you back. Buzzkill, happy birthday. Thank you for your courage and go podcasting. No, I'll read this one. Eli the coffee guy, of course, in Bensonville, Illinois, who has that coffee. 204 or two.

Might not be a coincidence, Artemis 2 launched on April Fool's Day and is being pitched as our return to the moon. A little too on the nose, nonetheless. I wish the lunar travelers Godspeed. It's the perfect feel-good distraction from Iran, high gas prices, and the usual background noise. Maybe the moon shot still works as a national therapy. For coffee that's out of this world, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code IDM20 for 20 % off your first order.

Stay caffeinated, Eli the coffee guy. And look who is back. Yeah, how about that? Dame Tanya Wyman from New York, New York, with $201. It's good to see your name on the list, Tanya. We hope you're doing well. And she says, JCD, get well and happy birthday. Sending many soft hugs, because I can't squeeze that chest. Ladies, stop squeezing the podcast host. This one brings me to countess level, plus an associate executive producer credit. Well-deserved.

Put me down for the countess of New York City. John, when you can drink again, I'll buy you something fancy. You bet you will. Fancy, fancy, fancy.

ITM, she says, cheers to another birthday. Thank you both for the best podcast in the universe. MFDX of Anjou in somewhere in California, $143

.55. He's glad that you're back, John. He was afraid that Adam would eventually start prodding Mimi for Milton Berle stories. Hey, there's Mark Pugner from Los Angeles, California, $100.33.

Went through the same thing nine months ago.

Carl Snyder, Lake Bay, Washington. Four more years.

A call for all the Danish producers to donate $333.33 Danish kroner, which is about 35 bucks. And come to our meetup. He wants an F-cancer. You know, I should probably do an F -cancer for you. Let's see, where's our F-cancer? Here we go. That's his mom. Brought her to hospice yesterday, 1st of April, her 70th birthday.

We're hoping she makes her birthday brunch on Sunday and then goes quietly without praying for her, producer Paul. Here are the fifties. Tony Lang, Castle Pines, Colorado.

Now, before we get to John's fabulous tip of the day, that's just fabulous tip of the day, I got a couple of ISOs to go through. I see you only have one.

I have four, so why don't I try mine? What's that? Blame I won. You won? I have an appointment with anywhere, but here. That's actually not bad. It's not bad. I have an appointment with anywhere, but here. Okay, here's what I have. It is amazing to think that they're on top of this thing. Call back ISO. Everybody who loses gets a podcast. Okay, maybe. It was great. Yeah, it's a classic. And then, this is so good. All right, I'll let you decide. I think the so good. Oh, you like that one, huh?

This is so good. All right, well. Or that or the Trump. Well, the Trump is kind of classic. Everybody who loses gets a podcast. I kind of like that one. All right, go for it. All right, then we'll go for that one. In the meantime, stand back. It's time for John's tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes, ask. So, you know when you had the tip about the honey, Manuka honey? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

It's the one honey in the world that's got a composition deep within the honey that's somewhat different than all other honeys. Well, it turns out, and I probably would've known about this years ago. I probably wouldn't have had the heart attack. It turns out that, Chris is gonna dramatize that. Yeah, right, keep going.

That there's an olive oil that has, that there's a one spot in the world that makes an olive oil whose composition includes a lot of polyphenols that are healthy for the heart and anti-inflammatory, are part and parcel of the oil itself. And you can go all over the world. And everybody should note that olive oil is not just from Italy or Greece or Spain. Most South American countries make it, and I always recommend trying it because you have different flavor profiles.

California has terrific olive oil, by the way. And France has terrific olive oil. But this health-oriented olive oil, which is also cheap because nobody knows about it, and it comes from a kind of a lower income area, is from Morocco. So it's Morocco olive oil. And the one I've been using is Atlas, which is available on Amazon for a liter for 24 bucks, rather medium priced, not expensive at all. But Moroccan olive oil. You can do a little research and you'll find out about it.

So is this, so I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong, that you are indeed in the final completion stages of a cookbook. Yeah, the family cookbook. Oh, it's the family cookbook. And I understand that you are folding the vinegar book into the family cookbook. So I, and I understand that somebody in the family obviously tipped you off to humiliate me to get back to work. And will you be including some olive oil tips in this family cookbook? Oh, there's a whole chapter on olive oil, yeah.

And what is the, do we have a name for this cookbook yet? The Dvorak family cookbook. Oh. What, what? No one can pronounce that. They'll be like, I want that cookbook. Okay, well you come up with a good name and we're gonna use it. The family that cooks together, stays together. Well, there's some truth to that. There is everybody, your tip of the day. Noah Jenner, fun.com, tipoftheday.net. Great advice for you and me, just the tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti.

Yes, cooking with dork, cooking with the dorks. There's some other ideas. Cooking with the dorks, there you go. Some good ideas coming through on the troll room as we speak. Family tastes good together. The Gooder cooking book, okay. Cooking in the morning with the Dvoraks. Yeah. The Buzzkill cookbook Bible. Hey, we got Planet Rage coming up next.
