1872 - "Lunar Economy"

Never has a problem with Horowitz. Adam Curry. John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, May 28th, 2026. This is your award-winning Gimmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1872. This is no agenda. We're back. Broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Phoenix. Number six, good morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Refinery Row, where we've come to the realization that Tai Chi walking is not going to make you ripped, I'm John C. Dvorak. Please

tell me you haven't been Tai Chi walking. No, of course not. Of course not. Who's going to believe that bull crap? Are you seeing these ads? Yeah, I started Tai Chi walking. Now I'm ripped. And this guy's muscle bound? Come on. No, I haven't seen the ads. Are you paying for your services and not just letting these ads sneak into your feeds? You mean YouTube? Everything. I pay for YouTube. Oh, you pay for it. That's why you're not seeing these ads. Well, and that's why my

life is much better. Well, you're missing out. What if you wanted to do Tai Chi walking? Well, I would have heard you say it's bullcrap and I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Stop the press. Uh-oh. Oh, this is a mistake. This is a mistake. So, whereas we both thought it was dynamite to have the vice president fill in for Carolyn Levitt. Yeah. Now General Scott Besant is filling in. So Trump's got him on a rotation. Hey, you gotta do a swing shift today.

Oh yeah, boom. So we went to Fox, boom. There's CNN. I'm waiting for CNN. Waiting for BBC. They've got a switch now. MS now has four talking heads on screen. Come on. Huh? Maybe these are like auditions. you Yes! All right, we're going to do a screen test with you, Scott. And the way we like to do that here at WHTV is we like to put you right out there and get you in front of the crowd. And let's see what your ratings are. I don't think, well, I'll have to look at it. after the

show. I don't know if this is his gig. No, he's too glib. The thing about Vance is he's very pleasant. He's got a nice smile. He, you know, plays to the crowd. He's kind of like wants to be liked. Yeah. Vance is gay. What? Gay guys can be funny and entertaining. In fact, after gay comics, maybe. Yeah, see? Right away, your network got shut off because you said the G word. You back? Yeah, here's what happened. This is the network that did that just It's just

disconnected. So then I went back to the other one and then you were bitching because it doesn't work. And so I'm back on it again, but this happened once before. Yeah? Yeah, a couple months ago. I can recall this happening a lot. In the history of the show, it has happened many, many, many, many times. I'm talking about the specific, specific thing. Yes. But considering you're in Silicon Valley's backyard, you would think that you could get...

No, well, that's because it's overused. Everybody's on the... Everyone's on the networks. Everyone's on the AI. Oh! I'd be better off in Iowa. All for... Yes, the quad screen is finally filled up. with General Scott Besant. Oh, yeah. You want to put them on? Yeah, I could probably do that. Let's see. You know he's not going to be any good. Yes, you do. Let's see. TV dot. These two halting. Halting is his style. Yeah, but I-

it's- It's not a great style. No, it's not. You know, again, as I said before you cut off, it would be great if he did campy gay stuff. That would be fantastic. Yeah, he's not going to do that. That would be fantastic. Let's see what he has to say. Come on in, General. On the other side of this, the gasoline prices will follow. Is there something on the table? Sorry? Is there an agreement? They're running the

table with him. The teams have been going back and forth and President Trump has made it very clear, he talked about it at the cabinet meeting, that... He's wearing

a blue swatch watch. Wrong! Iran has to turn over their highly enriched uranium. They cannot pursue a nuclear weapon. And the Strait of Hormuz. Your question of energy has to free transit. Oh, he's dying. Navigation of the seas has to be free transit. He's dying. He's dying. As it was before. He can't do it. He's not going to take a bad deal. Of course not. We knew this before he started. Oh, now they're going nuts. Piling on. How long until we see your signature? next to

President Trump's face on a $250 bill. Well, again, as Treasury Secretary, I have two mandates for U.S. currency. Oh, he's dying a thousand deaths. By the way, I just noticed. He has this... His mouth? in an odd way resembles that of Elizabeth Warren. I have to see pictures now. You gotta take a look at it. It's, uh... Trump could be... Oh, he's boring! Oh no, there's only one thing worse than not having the answers, is being boring. Yeah, he's no good at this. Give him the

hook. I mean, he's only fair when he's unfaced the nation. Trump should come out now and say, Besson, you're fired. That would be perfect for this. You're no good. You failed the screen test. Goodness gracious. So I was- Who'll be next? You'll get- I can only tell you who's going to be next. Rubio. Exactly. Of course. And Rubio's going to name, well, he may be, I don't know, he may be too serious. No, I don't think so. I think Rubio, who is a performer. Yeah. We'll

kick ass. He'll do jokes, he'll do shtick. If he dances, extra points. Now, you've been about him, about Besson doing some gay material. It would be better if he came out kind of as a Rip Taylor type guy, wearing a flamboyant outfit and then doing prop comedy. More like Carrot Top. Well, Reptile is a brilliant... the progenitor of Carrot Top. Yeah, but nobody in the universe knows Rip Taylor anymore. Nobody. And Rip Taylor should throw confetti in the air. That'd be a good bit. you Oh

my goodness. Oh, now he's showing the app. He's showing the app. Oh no. Yeah, this was... Give him the hook. This was the, you know, I actually have the, I think I have it. Get that dancing guy out there and have him pull him off. Here's a clip about the app. And starting today, parents who set up Trump accounts for their children can download a new app to manage the account. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says six million children are already signed up for the IRA-style savings

accounts. Parents and loved ones can contribute up to $5,000 a year into the account. For children born in 2025 through 2028, the federal government will donate an additional $1,000. The accounts don't officially open for investment until July 4th. You know, the thing with... It's really too bad. I mean, and I really, I'm a big Scott Besson fan. And he has done some great snide jokes when he was at the World Economic Forum. He kind of lays

into him. But this is not his wheelhouse. And this app, he should just say, girlfriend, let me tell you about this app. I mean, just throw in a girlfriend.

Anything. Anything but this. You can't use it. You could never do that. That would never happen. I know. I'm just trying to help him out. The press corps. I think throwing the confetti in the air would do it. How's that for an answer? So I was thinking about AI and stuff and how it's changed production. How it's changed our lives, how it's changed the art, how it's changed the end of show mixes. one of our producers reminded me, you know, Ebola, Ebola has been in our

lives several times. I think it was two previous times we've had Ebola pop up and be scary and the media being filled with it. I think it's two in the past 18 years. Yeah, this is what you do. This is the third time. And I'm reminded about how creative everybody was. So I put together a short little medley. And in the black trunks, weighing in at over 3,000 troops, the ISIS. Come from Africa, New York. I'll tell you this, if Ebola breaks out in the United

States, I'm going to quarantine myself. I'm wearing a mask, I've already got it in place for my family. Yeah, I'm freaking out. Don't catch it. Don't catch it. Yeah. Yeah, remember how good those were? Yeah, that was the, we had an era where everybody was weird El Yankovic. Yeah. And they could do these parody songs, and the AI won't do that. It can't. In fact, if you try to do a parody song, it won't do it.

No, it's not allowed because God forbid. Yeah, because it's, you know, because it's legal, but it's probably going to get. thought of as illegal by the stupid AI. Yes, even me just playing that will get this episode removed from Spotify. Probably. No, not even probably. Even though there's not one thing there that was remotely a copyright violation. Nothing. Let's check in with Ebola real quick. There are growing concerns around the globe about the Ebola outbreak in

Central Africa. The World Health Organization saying the epidemic is outpacing their efforts. ABC's Reena Roy has more. the latest. Health officials are racing to contain the rapidly growing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. Just one week after declaring Ebola a global public health emergency, the World Health Organization admitting the outbreak is outpacing its efforts. Not only is it difficult to test for, but right now it's spreading in these... Wait a minute! Berks keeps telling us we need

to test. And now this guy's telling us it's difficult to test for? Something's up with that. Health emergency. The World Health Organization admitting the outbreak is outpacing its efforts. Not only is it difficult to test for, but right now it's spreading in these communities faster than health officials can keep up. with and it's likely larger than documented. The WHO sending supplies to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where officials suspect at least 200 people have died from

the virus. This UN plane bringing protective equipment for health workers, medication, and tents for triage. The European Union and UNICEF. Tons? Wait. What? There's a half a ton of stuff per dead person? 200 dead, 100 tons. They're sending 100 tons of what? Stuff. Testing gear? PPE. And they're required to undergo enhanced screenings, including temperature checks. Enhanced screening. Let me take your temperature. What kind of enhanced screening is that? Remember during COVID and you go to a

restaurant and they'd point that thermometer at your head? Well, don't you remember pre-COVID during the swine flu? No, SARS. And they had every airport had these thermographs as you're walking down the airport. Oh, yeah. Remember the thermograph? Thermograph. Remember the... Do you remember the thermograph? Yes. Oh yeah, and you walk by and oh, oh, you're too hot. You're too hot, dude. And they're required to undergo enhanced

screenings, including temperature checks. Non-citizens are banned from- from traveling here at all if they've been to the impacted areas in the last three weeks. At least 10 African nations have been warned they now have an elevated transmission risk. With the FIFA World Cup less than three weeks away, fears are growing that the virus could spread beyond Central Africa. And now despite the warnings and fears, health officials stress that... that the global Ebola threat remains low. Oh,

it remains low, but hey, play this clip. This is, I have the Ebola in the USA clip. The CDC sending an urgent request to its staff members for help screening Americans returning to the U.S. from Central Africa for any potential signs of Ebola. The internal email obtained by ABC News and sent by acting CDC director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya asking for volunteers to bolster efforts at airports to check passengers for symptoms like fever. Bush Intercontinental Airport in

Houston, Texas, now one of just three entry points. along with Virginia's Washington Dulles and Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta for U.S. citizens who have been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the last three weeks. Non-Americans are currently banned from entering the country if they've recently traveled to those areas. Ebola is suspected to have killed more than 200 people. And international aid groups say this outbreak could become the deadliest on record. A

dire scene in the eastern Congo. A baby born to a mother infected with Ebola, dying from the disease. Health officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than responders can contain it. Yeah, we heard that one. One American aid worker in the region. That's the... The talking point there. Faster than they can contain it. From the disease. Health officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than responders can contain it. One American aid worker in the region telling

us doctors are already... stretched thin. Right now we're working 14, 16 hour days, six, seven days a week. We're trying to rotate to get breaks. At least 10 African nations bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo now at

an elevated transmission risk. And David, the request for CDC volunteers to help with airport Ebola screenings comes as millions... of soccer fans are expected to travel to the U.S. in less than three weeks for the World Cup, but the CDC insists that the risk of spreading Ebola here in the U.S. remains low. They always have this little kicker at the end. Every one of these reports. I'd say this is, of course, It's ABC, so it's mainstream

media. All of them, including Fox, are like Democrats. Hey man, if we can't screw up Trump in the midterms, let's at least screw up world soccer. Yeah, that's all they want. I just want to screw stuff up. Yeah, they like to screw stuff. I do. I do. They're doing a good job. I think they're doing a wonderful job of it. Yes. Ha ha ha. Oh man. The funny thing is, is that no one's ever upset about this. No one's ever upset about these things, about this

PSYOP. Uh, my Epstein files. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man, Epstein-Fels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Since we're going to change topics,

I have a little interregnum here. Oh, you're using the interregnum term. This is something new. This is a... President Trump is an interregnum in the liberal world order. So you've been affected with the new world order, liberal world order talking point interregnum. *ahem* I was unaware of this problem. I've never heard you use this word. Well, it's a good word. No, it's not. Well, it's not a great word. It's not a good word. And I should say, I should use, what was the foodie term when

you had the little piece of... Entremont. An entremont. An entremont. Entremont. You have a piece of sherbert. You have like a small spoon full of sherbert. Sorbet. I'm sorry. Sorbet. Chef has specially prepared this. for you and for you only here at the table. Here you go. It's one spoonful. What is an interregnum? No, just the thing in between, you know. No, I don't think that's true. Yes, it's a moment of in-between-ness. Do you mind if I ask the book of knowledge for a second? Go

ahead, ask. A book of knowledge. Give me the definition of... interregnum. People like the Book of Knowledge. Yeah, they do. Here we go. According to the Book of Knowledge, an interregnum is a period when normal government is suspended, especially between successive reigns or regimes. It derives from Latin meaning between kingdoms. and refers to any interval when there is no ruling authority or a temporary gap in leadership. Ha, dos. Yeah, exactly what I said. No, it's not

at all what you said. You used it completely. Yeah, it's an in-between. It's specifically in-between kingdoms. Yeah, kingdoms of our clips. Oh, okay. Hey, I think I learned something. Thank you, Book of Knowledge. I learned something here. Somebody said, hey man, you gonna open source that? No. Have every stupid podcast in the world using our book of knowledge? No way. No. I spent hours on that. All right. Interregnum. I love it. It's even better now when

they say it about Trump. Interregnum. In between kingdoms. So he is, by definition, not a king. No kings. No, not a king. Oh, not a king. By definition, an interregnum, he's not a king. It's in between kingdoms. That's a good point. I'm just saying. I think you've got to. point there you can slam home as the next city council meeting. Okay. I don't know what that has to do with it, but thanks. Here we go. This is from mid-1960s, about 65, I believe. A little dialogue

on the series Dragnet. A TV show with Jack Webb. Oh, great show. Is that the dum-da-dum-dum? Yep. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum. Dum-dum-dum. You've been smoking marijuana? Marijuana's illegal, I know that. That's right. For now. In a couple of years, things may change when all the kids grow up and start wearing ties and going to the polls. Marijuana's gonna be like liquor, packaged and taxed and sold right off the

shelf. I doubt it, Mr. Shipley. Look, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it seems to me there must be better things for cops to do than chase down wild rumors about something as innocent as marijuana. Why don't you go after the big bad guys? The heroin peddlers. I won't argue with you about them. They should be stopped. That's right. We'd like to put them out of business. That's why we're here. What do you mean? We're trying to keep them from getting a new customer. There's

a big difference between marijuana and hard narcotics. Yeah, but it's only a small step. And everybody who takes a drink is going to be an alcoholic. We know that's not true, don't we? Let's face it, we're on opposite sides of the fence and there's nothing we can do about it. For you, if there's a law against it... It's wrong, black and white. I just don't see things that way, that's all. Well, you ought to give it a try, fella. It might keep you out of jail.

Maybe, but we'll change the law someday, even though your friend here thinks we won't. Believe me, it's a new world. Your laws are as outdated as bustles. Laws are going to have to be changed to keep pace with the new morality. They'll change or we'll have to break them. Oh man, the Lear Foundation was already working in 1960? I don't think there was. No, no. It seems unlikely. Is there a Dragnet where they're talking about LGBTQ? There probably is. You know, I think somebody's got to

start data mining the old Dragnet shows. This is kind of like. the Simpsons. Predictive, yes, predictive programming. That's very interesting. Well, of course, it was the liberal. media hippies who were running the show back then even. Because then in the 70s, we got All in the Family, and we know that Meathead was a dope smoker. Yeah. So. Interesting. Well, I can't say that it's bad, but it's right down to the packaging and tax. That's interesting. I

know. It was really great. That's pretty good. I like that a lot. Hey, you nailed it on, uh... On

those teen takeovers. I have some bunch, I have three clips of the teen takeovers. And all, not all of them, but at least two of them mentioned the idea that we've talked about. which is that parents should be arrested for these teen punks. Well, yes. I mean, I have one or two clips myself. I'd love to hear yours because when I heard how these... parents are acting in this regard i'm like yeah you're probably right i only see two though There's another one. I'll find it.

It's got a different, it's got the wrong title. Of course. What are we starting with? Let's start with the... Oh, there should be teen takeover too. Okay. I'm... I'm looking for Teen Takeover 1, but let's skip right to the Fox. This is from Tampa, Florida. This is the Teen Takeover Fox 44. Okay, so there's a new TikTok trend. You know, takeovers, going into restaurants, trashing places, meeting up, driving crazy. Listen, that's not going to work in

Polk County. There's a whole lot of laws that not only hold juveniles responsible. adults responsible, but parents responsible for your children's conduct. to include juvenile curfews. Now summer's coming and we will... the kids to have a good time and a fun time. They worked hard in the school this year. We don't want them to start next year with a criminal arrest record. But I'll guarantee you. Who is this guy? He's a blowhard. Is he from Dragnet?

He's the cop. Oh, yeah. He's drag. He's drag. He's dragging it. Cool. Tearing up people's businesses. Fighting in the streets. We're going to light them up, all of them. And then, Mom and Daddy, if you don't hold them accountable personally. make sure they're home when they need to be, then we're going to come lock you up too. or charge you civilly, depending on which laws we can plug in. But parents? Hold your children accountable so we

don't have to. We will hold them accountable if you make us, but then we're going to hold you accountable too. Think about that. And then have a good summer. Why don't you? marinating that for a minute. That's the Florida law. We're going to light them up. What, are you going to tase them? That's what they need. They need to be tased. Well, let me just throw an interregnum. This is what happened in Chicago. From day into the night, Memorial Day weekend closed out with more teen

takeovers. In Hyde Park, three people were shot. and several arrested. This is not just messing around in Chicago. We shoot you. The past couple of years, the so-called teen trends have been a thorn in the side for police. We need to do everything we can to put a stop to these events. And that means giving the police all the tools that they could possibly bring to bear.

City Council's Public Safety Committee Chairman Alderman Brian Hines. Hopkins has been trying to give police more tools, like an earlier teen curfew, but Mayor Brandon Johnson has been against it. Hopkins says as the teen trends continue, more of his colleagues are supporting curfews and other measures. It's their voters that are calling them and demanding something be done.

And it's Chicago's police... superintendent demanding something as well. During a city club appearance last week, Larry Snelling says it's time to stop making excuses for the teenagers who participate. And there has to be accountability. The failure here is that when we don't put accountability on teenagers because teenagers

need it more than anybody. Which means having the tools to make arrests and there's a growing call from snelling alders and the mayor to make parents accountable because the teen trends gain steam on social media st savannah's youth organizer lamar johnson says many parents are aware and even enabled their kids like majority of parents not all but majority of these parents know exactly what their teens are doing Know where they are. Uber them. Uber them. Take

them down there. I doubt it. What? in violent behavior. Well, censorship. That's how it starts. Yep. I agree. Do you agree what? That censorship, it shouldn't be done. No, but that's how it started. Oh, it's bad posts. Bad posts. Well, I can't find the clip one, but this is part two of another series where they talk about this. Now, Chicago officials weighing targeting parents with one representative.

It's the same lady. Proposing charging parents of minors arrested at teen takeovers after the city's 10 p.m. curfew with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a $2,500 fine and $300. 64 days in jail. This strategy of potentially charging parents. That's three years. Why don't they say three? Hold on. Why'd they say three years? Let me hear it again. And 364 days in jail. That's one year. Oh, I'm

sorry. You're right. Hello? This strategy of potentially charging parents. I'm doing math in my head inaccurately. Yes. I mean, you're almost Chad GPT accurate. Jail. This strategy of potentially charging parents. Do you think it would be effective? I think that is a start. We need to have a proactive approach from police, whereas they should be monitoring social media to establish where these meetups would be occurring. Meetups? Wait a minute. It's a meetup. It's a meetup. All

of a sudden it's a meetup. To establish where these meetups would be occurring and place the officers accordingly. One idea as desperation to rein in teen takeovers rose. But there was stuff like this. We had weird stuff going on as kids and we all. Hey, let's go meet up there and we get all rowdy. I mean, it's really social media that makes it happen. Well, it's social media that is drawing more attention to it. When I was a kid... Here we go. Okay. You had sit-ins.

No, when I was a kid... Um... And this, I believe, was in the 60s. You'd go to the county fair in Pleasanton, Alameda County Fair. And on 4th of July... You'd always go on the 4th of July. They stopped showing the fireworks on the 4th of July because of this. Every 4th of July, year after year after year, you could go to the 4th of July. And there would be a teen takeover of the fair where two rival gangs usually... Yes, gangs, absolutely. Rival gangs would

come in and start pounding each other. No, no, no, they would rumble. Yeah, they'd rumble. This is, by the way, the movie... with the musical uh West Side Story. West Side Story. The musical West Side Story. was from this era. And these kids would come in and you'd go just to watch it. Of course you did. It's going to be a rumble. Because they never involved you. They didn't come and just randomly punch you. and they

would just go after each other. And they're doing it, if you watch the latest videos that come out of these teen takeovers, which I think is an interesting, the fact that they've coined a term for it, teen takeover. And they all use the same term, teen takeover. When you see it, it's just two groups battling each other. They're not really, you know, you see people holding their

kids. to the side and you see bystanders but they never do anything to the bystanders do you remember during obama this was a great piece of history i probably don't have the clip During the Obama administration. There was an equivalent of kind of a teen takeover. And this mom, this... Black mom. comes right up to her kid and grabs him by the ear. And do you remember this? Like, what are you doing here? And she took, and it was... Vaguely. Everybody, everybody was covering this. Mom,

teen, I wonder. They might have a clip. But anyway, so this is not a new phenomenon by any means. No. You said this happening in restaurants, which I'm sure, you know, they used to be in public events. Yeah. And then when the cops would come, it's cops! And then we'd all run. And then we'd scatter. Scatter! Yeah, this has been going on for the last 50 years. Longer. maybe longer. Yeah, I'm sure it goes back to the 20s and 30s and longer than that. How about

the gangs of New York? Yeah, there you go. Basically, teen takeovers. Oh well. I like the parents who Uber their kids. Hey, go ahead, go to the takeover. Sounds like fun. But this is leading. to the arrest of parents and I think this is the real trend that we're looking at. It's the fuzz, man. The fuzz. Wow! Welcome to Boomer Agenda, everybody. I still think we're... I think it's great. I think it's great that we know all these stories. terms. You could learn something from us.

Yeah, yeah, especially if you're a Zed. You know, I went to a movie screening last night. called Young Washington. Is this one of those Christian films that you rush to? It is actually. It was produced by the Wonder Network. and distributed by Angel. But it's... It's more about they're releasing it on July 3rd and it's more intended. It's not like, in fact, if anything, there's a lot of blowing people up in this movie. But it's interesting that you say that. Why do you equate "Young Washington"

with one of those Christian movies? No, I think that's the only thing you go see nowadays. In the theater, yeah, probably. Um, But I realize how little I know of our own country's history. I didn't really realize. You suspect that this was accurate, this movie? Yes. Yeah, I think it was pretty accurate. Was it idealized like you'd expect? I would expect it. be idealized? Not really. In short, it shows that he wanted to be part of the British army. This is colonial Virginia. And he can't

because he's just scum. He's a colonist. Go back to your farm, stupid boy. And, uh... And then he, um... he gets an assignment, which he was meant to fail at, to go and scout out some land in the Ohio Valley, and then he finds the French. I didn't really realize that the Brits fought the French over the Ohio Valley. They're fighting their French over everything. Yeah, but it's, I'm telling you, I felt. Like, wow, I'm pretty

stupid. I didn't really feel that way. These are details of history that very few people would know one way or the other, and it's not really that important in the scheme of things in today's world. How Washington came to be and how the uniforms were chosen for the militia, it was like the prequel to Star Wars. That's what it was good. And a lot of people getting blowed up. It was, it was, yeah, it was good. I could do without the violence. Oh, pfft. Really? It's

part of our history, man. That's who we are. We're a violent, warring people. We don't want to admit it, but we are. This is our roots. We're good at it, too, by the way. And we were, in fact... George Washington was friends with the Indians. In fact, this is interesting because earlier in the conversation, you went on about how it'd be cool. You didn't use the word

cool, but you were implying it. To tase these poor kids in the... teen takeover come in there with tasers and just electrocute all that which is a violent act well i've never seen anyone just shot with one of these things they shake a lot well half the people just keep walking from what i've seen of these taser videos But I didn't. More voltage. I was only trying to extrapolate on what the sheriff said about we're going

to light him up. So I thought that maybe if you light them up, that means you're going to electrify them. I don't know. Lighten them up. Anyway, it's a good movie. When it comes out, I recommend you go see it. Yeah, I've seen one movie at a theater in the last five years, and that's about it. I watched my movies on the video. on the video. Oh, really? Do you get your from Blockbuster? Or where do you get your video? I get my videos from the TV. So let's play. I got some screwball clips here.

Let's play Whatever Dummies. I was going to go into

some real news. We've done nothing but screwball, but okay. Whatever dummies. What gas do plants absorb from the air? Oxygen. What continent is Brazil in? Brazil is in Latin America. What continent is Egypt in? Why are you asking me these questions? Wait, is this the stupid show where these women are all cute and then you- You cut four clips of that? I refuse. They're very short. Okay. No, wait, wait, stop. Okay, now you know what it

is. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Here's the man who just said, I haven't been to the theater in five years. I don't go to the movie theater. I sit at home and watch these dipshits on TikTok for hours, and you probably emailed me. a copy of this, didn't you? I'm sure you did. I haven't looked at your emails. No, I did not. Because you hate this show. This is the whatever podcast where this guy... This is not a show. This is not even a show. This is dumb. It's basically this guy, okay, let's just

do a little background here. This guy who's kind of an obnoxious character but he's He has his moments. He's good at mugging. And he brings on OnlyFans girls and whores. basically and the difference is There's not much difference, it turns out. But he brings them on, and then they talk about love and sex. And then he goes out of his way to prove that they're all idiots by asking the simplest of stupid questions, man on the

street version, and they can't answer anything. Now, you know, his show is run as a live six-hour stream every day. It's very hard to watch. Which I'm sure you are just, you're like... People who watch Candace Owens, you're like this for this show. No, no, I can't watch this show because it's impossible. Oh, the stream's coming on. I can't wait for this thing. You can ridicule me all you want. I'm going to. You can mock me. Yes. You can do what you think is funny. But

I'll tell you right now, this show's not watchable. So you can only get the clips from it. You've got to find someone who knows how to clip the show. But the point where they ask these idiotic questions and then they can't answer the simplest of questions with. some of the dumbest things you've ever heard in your life, I think is amusing, especially when these clips are just 54 seconds, 30 seconds, 47. I mean, these are short. I'm not killing it with these long, boring clips. I

will in a moment. I got long, boring clips coming up. So, these are the whatever girls. Let's just play two. I'll play two of them and I'll let the other two. No, no, no, no. We're playing all four. Let's go. Okay, go for it. What continent is Brazil in? Brazil is in Latin America. What continent is Egypt in? Why are you asking me these questions? We spoke about... We spoke about... Wait, sorry. Egypt is where? The Middle East. What continent is Japan in? Tokyo. You are

re-deposing this. There's no way. What country is immediately south of the United States? Country? Immediately south of the United States? Wisconsin. That's a state. I don't know. I have no idea, honestly. I've never been there. Who painted the Mona Lisa? Ooh, why do I, Van Gogh? No, that's wrong. No, Monet. No, I actually. Monet? Were you about to say Monet? Who painted the Mona Lisa? Justin Bieber.

So. This is interesting because... You kind of... put me down for saying that we should learn more about our history. And here you are with these. Oh, you're throwing my single comment back at you. I'm very sad by this. This saddens me. You should be. I'm very sad. This is pathetic, especially since these are hardworking girls. Name three countries besides the USA. You can't repeat. Africa? Keep going. Africa. Africa, Europe, Asia? Barcelona. Barcelona. Okay, that's a

country. You know, sometimes I'm a bit harsh on the workers, but sometimes it's the only option. How many states are in the USA? 25, 26. How many planets are in our solar system? I don't know. I'm sorry. Seven? Well, actually, I'm going to change my mind now. I think it's very, I praise the guys who started OnlyFans. These women would have been homeless and drug addicts. This is- I'm glad they have- That's an interesting take. I am glad they have jobs. This is horrible. How many

letters in the alphabet? 27? Oh, maybe 28? I don't know. What ocean is California next to? I don't know. Atlantic? If a dozen eggs cost $3, how much is each egg? $4? What country is the Panama Canal in? I don't know, honestly. Lexi? What country is the what the what what? What country is the Panama Canal in? I have no clue what that means. Guess. Just throw out a country. Spain. Where did the attack on Pearl Harbor take place? Pan? What is 100 minus 66? 100

minus 66. It's very simple. It's 66. Wow, good for you. Onward to number three. Number four. is number four. Oh, that was three? Yeah, we're at the end. Now I'm sad you don't have more. Ha ha! What species are we? Uhhhh... The genuis thing? Sorry, what? The... Huh? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Almost, almost. Homogenious? Homogenious? A little bit homophobic? No, no. They're the word close to that. Please don't refer to people as homos. What species are we? Humans, then? Well, we

are humans, but what species are we? Why was I the first one? How many states are in the USA? 52? Do you vote? No. Okay, good. What is the capital of the USA? Albany, New York. How many planets are in our solar system? You're counting? Seven. Ugh. Well, this does bring up an old story. When I entered Dutch school in fifth grade, speaking maybe ten words of Dutch. But I understood enough to hear the teacher tell me, now so this would have been 1974. No, I'm

sorry, 78. *Cough* And the teacher said, America has 52 states. I went and I raised my hand. I said, no. It says 50 states. And the teacher went. They had 50 and then they bought Alaska and Hawaii, you stupid American. I may be exaggerating a little bit on the last part, but that's how it made me feel. I said, no, it's really 50. I remember, now, here I was. Young man. And I called up the embassy.

that day from home and I recorded on a cassette recorder and I asked them and they told me I was 48 and you know we bought Hawaii and Alaska and I took it into school the next day and played it and I got kicked out of class Yeah, yeah, that would happen. And I think that was when I decided I would be a podcaster. This is the gig for me. I need to be... You decided something at that point because you realized that the system is

corrupt. Yeah. Yes. There was a lot of good education that I got in Dutch school, but that was not part of it. Anyway, that was fun. Do you think the guy makes any money with that show? How does he make money? Does he have a donation segment? No, he doesn't. I don't know how he makes money. to be honest about it. He's probably running OnlyFans, girls. He might be. That's probably what he's doing. This is the clip I have from the one girl who's accumulated $32

million so far in her OnlyFans. business Yeah. I mean, that's a business. It's a living, but she probably doesn't know how many states are in the union either. It's unbelievable. But, you know, again. Yeah. Well, I... What's the difference between not knowing that and not knowing that George Washington ran into some French dudes back in the day? It was a little more than that. It's his backstory. It's the back sore. It's an important back sore. I

thought it was good. Yeah, okay. Well, I'm not going to say it's not a good movie. I'm just saying, what's the difference between not knowing some small factoid about Washington and not knowing how many... plants there are in the solar system. By the way, there's seven. The girls. Counting on her hand. I'm sure she was. On her fingers since she gets the seven. Third rock from the sun is Mars. Moon is too. Third rock from the sun. So yesterday, the president did one of his cabinet

meetings. And I was watching. I was watching the stream, but then I was watching the quad screen. screen. And the mainstream media does the same thing every single time. They show the president's preamble. Then when the secretaries are all giving their report, they cut away and then they laugh about the president, about dumb he is. And I'll be honest, he went on for 10 minutes about the. reflecting pool in front of the Washington Monument. Oh, and the color of the water and the rest of it.

He went on and on and how he, you know, he's done swimming pools and he got his guys and now... He's the right color blue for the paint. From a builder's perspective, it was rather interesting. Like, oh, okay, I see what you did there. And I'm sure that... I haven't been to D.C. in a long time. I'm sure a construction guy would have thought it was interesting, and that's about it. Yeah, but it was, hey, number one rule, talk about what you know about. But it

just went on and on. And I was like, I wish I would have kind of seen this thing before he fixed it, because I'm sure it was a piece of crap. He was talking about 11 truckloads of trash they took out of it. It was leaking. It was all oxidized. Nothing was working. So there was, you know, anyways, so then they... They'll do that, and then they cut back when the press is asking questions, which are usually, you That's accurate representation. Yeah, that's about right. And

then the next day you get reports like this. President Trump is adamant that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, but exactly how he pulls that off is still an

open question. The president held a cabinet meeting at the White House today where he touched on a wide range of topics. But of course, the headline was. Excuse me, Iran. And he said talks with the regime are still happening. but is leaving the door open to resume fighting if necessary. They want very much to make a deal so far. They haven't gotten there. We're not satisfied with it, but we will be. We will be either that or we'll have to just finish the job. They're negotiating

on fumes. Fumes! So we'll see what happens. Negotiating on fumes. I like that phrase. Yeah, I mean, well, so did the mainstream media. M5M was all over it. Although the phrase is you're running on fumes, but negotiating on fumes, maybe in the context of oil is interesting. Yeah. We'll see what happens. The president said he doesn't feel pressure to strike a deal before voters head to the polls in November for the midterms. They thought they were

going to out-weight me. You know, we'll out-weight him. He's got the midterms. I don't care about the midterms. People understand that they know that, very simple, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I don't care about the midterms. Probably true. So that's one version. Then, oh, he said something dumb. Oh, and it's a pooper. More breaking news tonight. Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking. It's breaking news. I'm telling it's

breaking news. More breaking news tonight. New American military strikes on Iran. That's according to a U.S. official who tells us that Iran has set out to... excuse me, have struck some new sites at the Iranian-- - Get it together, Anderson. - Nearby Iran. The official adding that the military also intercepted drones being launched from Iran. Gaps a day that saw the president hold a televised cabinet meeting during which Iran came up repeatedly. He suggested a deal

is closed. but also that there's no hurry to reach one. Saying pressure from the midterm elections was not a concern for him. He threatened as well to, quote, blow up Oman, which is an ally of the United States. Now we all know what an ally is. Now he's going to blow up Oman. of the straightover moves. Iran and Oman to control the strait. So we'll have to blow them up. They understand that. They'll be fine. Again, Oman is an ally, gives access to air bases and

a port to American forces. And if you think the president's statement about blowing up Oman was a slip of the tongue, the State Department posted that clip of the president making the threat on social media not long after he said it. As for Iran, it says 23 vessels. So that was the main takeaway everybody had. Oh, he's just going to blow up Oman, an ally. And there's an ally. Oh, come on, people. It's just a question. Quite funny. I think this is... Isn't it rather unique?

I'm sorry, let me do the Tucker. Isn't it rather unique that the president... televises his entire and allows the press to be there the entire time. I just want to, I don't remember any other president doing that. No, but no, it's, it's. not only unique, but he does it a lot. Yeah, he does some long ones. He actually, that's how he started off. And I said, yeah, you know, that is kind of, that is true. That's

a good point. We have a... A lot of very happy people around the table because we're a great team. It's been a tremendous period of time. How many times have you heard? a CEO of a company do this. This is exactly what the Monday morning management meeting was. This is like Bloom. It's a high bloom factor. All hands. No, it's not all hands. It's the management team. You sit down with the management team and you pep everybody up. Hey, everybody, it's Monday morning. Okay, in this

case, it's Wednesday. Monday morning, everybody. We've got a great team. All right, we're doing great. Everything's fantastic. Good to have y'all here. For our country, and things are going very well. A number of jobs. We have more people working today than we've ever had before in the history of our country. Is that true? No. Well, yeah, I guess technically because we have more people than ever before. Yes, well then so it's true. More people than ever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And many other things. Many other things. And I have a few words to say to you that... I think will be helpful. And last night was incredible. Not only Texas, but so many other places. The numbers were fantastic. And they've really been that way for... A year, if you look, hundreds of people won. And almost nobody didn't win. Almost nobody didn't. Who didn't win? Which of his primary candidates didn't win? Do you know? Not offhand, but there's, I think, one or two. One

or two. But last night was very... Very powerful. So I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the 12th cabinet meeting of our administration and we're doing something that no administration's ever done. We're always letting the press join us because we're very open and transparent. We like the word transparent, but we're more transparent than any administration in history. To the best of my knowledge, press has never been invited ever to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all.

I believe that to be true. I believe it to be true. And the thing is, they don't cover it. They don't want you to know what's actually happening. Well, it's kind of boring. It's not boring. Why do you think it's boring? Well, I've watched these things. Because the first one he did, number one. Four hours. Yeah, that was boring. It went on and on. And here's the thing that's bothersome. And I think one of the reasons you don't have these things, I think having the press

there does serve a purpose. It keeps everybody in line. because you don't have anybody. spouting off because they know that they're just going to be Next thing to be front page in the New York Times. So you can't have anybody blowing up or having anything screwy happening in the press. It makes it very genteel, which is probably what Trump wants. He doesn't want any, you know, because you have enough trouble with leakers that he doesn't need

that aggravation in his cabinet meeting. So he just puts the brings the press in. There's not going to be any leaking now. Right. But the bothersome thing to me is that no one covers it. And yeah, maybe because it's boring, but... Like a good CEO, he goes through his most. Well, you'd think they'd cover it better than they do because they have these press conferences and they're asking the questions. The questions are pre-answered in these cabinet

meetings. Well, that's what I'm saying. They cover. uh the president's opening to to be able to okay He said, Oman, they're going to blow him up. He's an ally. He's dumb. Yeah. Okay, here's my take. I'm a journalist and I've got the White House. And I'm thinking, do I want to go to this? cabinet meeting and sit there for four hours and three hours or whatever the hell it is and listen to this crap? I'm going to go to the bar. It was only an hour and a half. That's too long. So... No, I don't

want to put the work in. I just don't want to do it. I think it's for different reasons. I think it's because they don't want to report. So the president, like any good CEO, starts with... A report, we have had zero illegals come in in the last 12 months. Murder rate is the lowest. I'm taking the perspective of the journalist. I'm going to say the same thing. I'm going to say it again. So what? This isn't interesting to me. This is not good news. I understand.

But I'm deconstructing media by showing you what they're not doing. Well, they're not doing anything, it seems like. Right. So therefore... Did you know that we have the law? I'm just going to presume these are true. And the fact that no one went out and said, he lied. I'm just going to say they're probably true. Lowest murder rate in 125 years. Yeah, this seems to be true. 11,888. Crime and murderers have been removed. Most favored nation drug prices. Which I think is, in fact, he was

mad about this. Under my most favorite nation agreements, this is something that I wish the media would talk about because to me it's one of the biggest things ever to happen in our country. It certainly has to... Medical. Anything having to do with medical. Because drug prices, we're delivering record-setting discounts on prescription drugs with price differences of 400, 500, and even 600% at the TrumpRx.gov. Now wait, he's going to screw this up himself here. We recently

added nearly 1,000 low-cost... low-cost generics to the website. So we have drugs down 400, 500, 600%. Now you could say 80, 90, 70, 60, 50% if you want. There are two ways. It depends on the way you ask the question. What? Okay. doesn't help himself with that. And then he goes into most favored nation drug prices. So a pill that costs 10 bucks in London, but 110 in the US, now it's 20 for everybody. But that's a big deal. But of course, they're not going to.

Of course, again, if you read my current substack column, Dvorak.substack. where I talk about... The capture of the media by the drug companies. Yes, it was a good piece. They're obviously not going to write about this because it has anything to do with drug companies. Forget it, it's verboten. And then he goes into the Somalis. The Somalians, what they've done to Minnesota, the Somalians. The Somalians. Crooked as hell. Elon Omar. Crooked as hell. They're all crooks.

And we got them. We got them. We got them. Putting the clamps on. Huh? Omar, she's still kicking. She's still doing her thing. No, no. That's an impressive group of guys. I was watching that and a couple of very strong women too. But I was watching that last night. I said, I'm proud of you guys. In two months, we've exposed tens of billions of dollars of defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted numerous fraudsters, Todd, and stopped billions of

suspicious payments, very suspicious. Well, you see, I'm getting reports from Todd, from JD. I've never seen anything like it. Just hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen, and no other administration would do what we're doing. And he goes on about that. And then he had a nice moment.

He thanked Tulsi. Gabbard, who was, she didn't speak. Before asking Vice President Vance to speak about these efforts, I want to express our tremendous gratitude to our outgoing Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who's a terrific person, actually. Come up with some findings that were pretty good. And Tulsi's worked tirelessly to restore trust and focus on the intelligence and with the intelligence community. They all respected her.

And it goes on about all the things she's uncovered about Russia, Russia, Russia. And then, you know, for some reason, she opened up the JFK, RFK files, and then UFO files. I don't think Tulsi had anything to do with that. But then the secretary spoke, and they actually were quite interesting. Um, I'll skip Vance because, well, actually the beginning is kind of... Yes, sir. Well, first of all, thank you for your leadership, sir. You always have

to start with thank you for your leadership. For making it possible. I often find in the Fraud Task Force that there sometimes are barriers that we need to break down, agencies that need to coordinate, and I'll come to the president and say, Mr. President, I need your permission to do, and he'll say, for what? For the Fraud Task Force? And he'll cut me off and say, yes,

go do it. So the fact that we have dedicated presidential leadership is really what's made this possible because it does require, we've got great people around the table, but sometimes these agencies don't know how to work together at the lower level. And that's one of the things we've had to turn on and force with the fraud task force. So I want to shout out just a few all-stars here. Linda at the Department of Education has been

amazing. finding student loan fraud. You've got people who are either illegal aliens or aren't even actually real human beings who are getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the Department of Education for student loans. You know, so all most of these reports are all about fraud. And it's it really is unbelievable how much how much I'll never. forget my dad once when I brought him into my company. We didn't really have a great relationship, but I felt bad. So you can get a desk over here.

not a not a good relationship and my this is in holland and my company was in line to get a deal with the department of education education. Until we found out how fraudulent those guys were. I mean, they literally were committing fraud to pay us. I'm like, nah, I don't want any part of that. And I had to go testify in court later for that because it was so messed up. But I remember him saying that. Then nothing came of it. No, no, no. The that

guy was dismissed. You got. out of government. Oh yeah. Oh, okay. Something did come out of it. But I'll never forget my dad, a good company man. He worked for the U.S. government for many years. He said, this is great. Once you get on the government teat, it lasts forever. I'm like, yeah, that's, that's. Yeah, I. I've heard this ad. Well, I kind of say the same thing. I think the word teat is what bothered me the most. Teat, yeah. I'm like, this sucks. I hated

that. It really bothered me. Here's Todd Blanch, our acting attorney general. I'll just continue to talk about what the vice president was just talking about. The way that we

are actually, it's one thing to uncover. fraud, which we've done, and that's part of it, but it's also prosecuting the bad guys that are doing it and stopping it from continuing, and that's where you have everybody in this room has inspector generals, and for many years, these really hardworking law enforcement members would identify fraud, and nobody did anything about it. DOJ... prosecuted it but spent a very

little resources on that. So what we've done just in the past 51 days, over 400 law enforcement actions in this country related to major fraud. That's search warrants, that's arrests, that's convictions, that's indictments that are filed. And that's just 51 days. And it's not just the great prosecutors. It's the FBI agents, it's DHS and HSI agents, it's everybody in this room that has inspector generals that are

now, they have been freed up. And it's because of you, it's because of the vice president saying this is going to be a priority of what we are going to do. Not just the Department of Justice, even though we're the prosecutors that are putting bad guys in jail, it's also the... the law enforcement at every agency, FBI and DHS. And so we're already seeing results. And billions of dollars was given out just very quickly before Biden

left office. Billions and billions were given out. And I mean, I know of many cases, but one, I don't know what's happened with it, but I think you're looking at it. I know Lee was involved in it environmentally. Stacey Abrams was given $2 billion for an account that had $103 in it, an environmental fraud. So we heard about this. We heard about the $2 billion to Stacey Abrams. Did you ever hear what happened to that? No, I did not, as far as I can tell, nothing.

So here is Lee Zeldin of the EPA. He gets to talk. He came right after Todd. Thanks for your leadership, Mr. President. That was canceled. And they no longer have access to that $2 billion. Where do I go? They wanted that money. Go ahead. In fact, it was over $29 billion that It's now been canceled at EPA. You told us to make it a priority. Now this

happened as soon as you came in. After the election, before your inauguration, they were caught on video saying that they were rushing to get billions of dollars out the door before you're swearing in because they were afraid that once you were sworn in, you were going to stop it. Well, that part, they were right. We did. So, I didn't know that. I didn't know that they pulled that money back. I may have known it. I, you know, this is the problem. This is the problem. I

didn't know there were 400 arrests. I didn't know any of this stuff. Why would I? Because they're not reporting on it. Yeah, why would you? Because they're not going to tell you. Well, if it was Obama, they would. It's not. If they tell you, are you going to vote Democrat? I don't think so. Well, exactly. But Fox News didn't tell me either. Well, hello. Okay. Just saying. So then we got Rubio, who had some funny things to say. Just two quick things I want to touch

upon. One, you touched upon the border and security. Part of securing our border is dealing with the people that are in this country unlawfully, many of whom do not want to go back to the country that they originally came from for a variety of reasons. Now listen to this. You can't send them there, or some judge ties

us up. And one of the key things we have achieved is now 20 countries have signed third country national agreements, meaning these are safe countries where individuals who refuse to go back to their country of origin can be sent to that country instead. We've gotten 20 countries now around the world who have signed agreements that allow us

to deport people to those places. What often happens when you... go to the person who's here unlawfully and say, we're going to send you to this third country, is all of a sudden they decide they'd rather go back to their home country. No, man, don't send me to Nigeria. No, no, I'll go back to Mexico. I promise, I promise. I'll never do it again. And this is the one clip that I did see here and there on the mainstream. By the way, that was a stroke of genius. to do that, pull that stunt. It's a

great idea. Yeah. Oh, you can't go back to Costa Rica? Okay. We'll send you to Nairobi. Tanzania. Whatever. Tanzania or Congo. No, no, no. There's Ebola there. I don't want to go there. No. I'll go back to Mexico. I promise. And this got a little bit of play in the mainstream, Rubio on Cuba. Could I just ask you, Cuba and Venezuela, what's going on there? Well, interesting. On Venezuela, that process continues, that three-phase process, you know,

of obviously stabilization, recovery, and transition. I would just say, just since January 3rd of this year, okay, and I think... This number's right, and Chris or Doug can correct me on this, but I think over 10 million barrels of Venezuelan oil have been delivered to the United States since the 3rd of January. That doesn't seem like a lot. 10 million barrels since January? Aren't some of these... Uh... Middle East countries pumping out 5 million a day?

Yeah. So 10 million in what? Six months? That doesn't seem like a lot to me. Maybe it's more than what's coming out of there. But I was like, no, that's just, that's odd. That industry is being professionalized for the first time. time ever. It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. They are selling oil in the market at market rates. The money's going to an account in the United States, controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited by KPMG. I like that. KPMG in the house, people.

And it's for the first time ever the money's not being stolen. It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people. Cuba's in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them, it's run by a bunch of incompetent communists. And being communist is bad. Being an incompetent communist is like the worst. Okay, Marco. Okay, Marco. Good one. Lubio in there. The country's been taken over by this company called

Gaisa that basically controls 70% of the... economy. None of the money in that company goes to help the Cuban people. I didn't know this. which was set up by Raul Castro in 1955 and does indeed, according to reports, control up to 70% of the entire economy. economy, tourism, retail, finance, infrastructure, like the ports. I'm just going to give you, just to interrupt you. Yeah. Venezuela oil production. Yeah. It's around, currently it's up to 893,000 barrels a

day. But it's been as low as... as low as uh two barrels it's really you have to look at this chart it was as high as like 3.5 million barrels a day back in 1970 and it dropped to as low as She's just next to nothing. thing in 2020. I mean, it's almost the chart is just at the bottom. It's the number so low you can't even get it. So it's up, though. That's the idea. It's up a bit, yeah. It's up, yeah. Hmm. But they're not produced, they're not anywhere near capacity. I mean, it's

like ridiculous. No, of course not. Which is what Trump's offering. Let's get back to cranking this stuff out and then you can make, you know, this woman who runs the country will be rich without being corrupt. Yes. Although it's, you know. All right, so then we go to Doug. Doug, Doug Burgum, he's of the interior. And he starts to confirm some things about... Alaska. That I've been looking at the pipeline, the, uh, what is it? The North slope. And so here he is on the oil,

our own oil. I would, uh, president Trump under your leadership, uh, we've opened up a lease sales. on public land. This is land that was put away for the benefit and the use of the American people, like the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The Biden administration had illegally stopped holding lease sales during their administration. President Trump famously said, drill, baby, drill, but before you can drill, you've

got to open public lands. I Between the lease sales that have happened in the Permian, in the Bakken and on the North Slope, just since January of this year, it's over $4 billion of revenues come into the Treasury. That's 13 times more than the Biden administration brought in on lease sales in the entire four years they're in the office. in office. Sir, your policies brought that in in five months. So with that, a lot of excitement, a lot of activity. Exciting. Very exciting. We also inherited.

All right. So very exciting. Very exciting. Oil, oil, oil. I actually checked that. because I keep hearing about Alaska. And he talks about how all these land leases and, you know, we know that in Alaska. The oil money goes to the Alaskans. And so that's a piece of it. A piece, yes. But the same thing is starting to happen with these public lands. And apparently there's a backlog of 5,000 or 6,000 land leases for oil drilling.

So I got to talk to the oil baron about it, who did send me a note this morning and said, your call on... $60 oil is right. He sent me some. long analysis. Someone who says it's probably going to go down to 62. And it won't take much. It won't take much. So here's they're not, you know, supposedly Alaskan oil is going to China. I think it may be, but I don't think it's quite there yet.

This is from CNBC. I want to ask you, Joe just had some headlines here before we came out of the commercial break, which is basically that China may have agreed to buy U.S. oil. What can you tell us about the China meetings and China's energy purchases from the United States? Yeah, I mean, 20 years ago, we were the largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world. And today. China is the largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world. So there's a natural

energy trade there. We've sold them, you know, ethane for petrochemicals and oil on and off through the years. And I suspect we'll see a growth in their oil imports from the United States. So you think, you said suspect, but you think they will be a larger buyer? We know they're a huge buyer of U.S. LNG, or at least Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are, China as well. You think they'll be a bigger buyer of U.S. crude

oil? I do think they will. There's huge interest in Asian buyers for more oil out of Alaska as well. You know, now our oil goes out of the Gulf of Mexico. We'll see more of that going over to China. But in the not too distant future, we're going to see more oil coming out of Alaska that's going to supply our neighbors and friends in Asia as well. Yeah, that's the pipeline from the North Slope down to

the South. We'll see. And then in the Q&A, there were only two kind of interesting questions in the Q&A. This one slipped in. I'm like, oh, I see what's going to happen here. Are you expecting Congress to pass

a federal gas tax holiday? A gas tax holiday? Well, it's something we might talk about. Let's see what happens over the next week, two weeks. A lot of good things are happening. Gas tax holiday. Well, of course. Of course you want to do a gas tax holiday right before the 4th of July. Because that's the date. That's the day we had gas. He has to have an announcement. Do you know how much the federal taxes on

gasolina? You'd be surprised how little it is. of the federal gas tax as a way to give drivers some relief. Let's go to Morgan Stevens with the fact check team. So we got to talk about numbers. Let's start with the federal gas tax. I believe it's just short of 20 cents per gallon, right? Yeah. The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon for regular and 24.4 cents for diesel. Now, do you think that would make a lot of difference to people if it went down

by basically 20 cents? If it went down by 20 cents? I think to some people. Who chew up a lot of gas, especially these truckers. Yeah, well, that's even more on oil. So that may be part of what he's thinking of doing. And I don't think the president can do that. I think it has to be an act of Congress because it's a federal tax. And that 18.4 cents has been there since the 90s. It's been there forever. I'm surprised they don't jack it up. Well,

in California, I think you have, uh... Almost $2. No, I'm sorry, 70 cents. 70 cents. of state tax. I still don't understand how you get to seven bucks a gallon in California. Well, our blend is very specific to California. Bad blend, yes. It's a blend that supposedly reduces smog and it only can be made by a few refineries. And once those refineries get shut down, down by California and stupidity, we won't have any gas at all and then we can ride our bicycles. And then the

final question about the Abraham Accords. One of the things that will happen is the Strait will open immediately. Immediately. But it's got to be perfect. I'm not going to do this. I didn't do this to get a crummy agreement. The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama. What a horrible agreement that was. It was a setback for this country, for the whole world. The Middle

East. No, and we'd like to have the countries we were talking about with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and the others, we'd like to have them immediately join the, and Steve Woodcoff is working on that with Jared and some others, but we'd like to have them join the Abraham Accords. It'll be historic if they do it. I think they owe that to us, to be honest. I think because that really would be a tremendous sign. And I think those countries owe it to us. Steve, are you

going to get them to sign? We're definitely pushing it. I'm not sure. I'm not sure we should make the deal if they don't sign. You want to know the truth? If they don't sign to join the Abrahamic courts. I don't know that we, you know, we have countries in there already. UAE, great. great countries, bold countries, and it's turned out to be so good, so effective. And so we're requesting strongly that they join. It'll be great.

It'll be great for Saudi Arabia. It'll be great for... guitar and kuwait the whole group he's pushing he's pushing real hard for it Who knows? Who knows? Crazier things have happened. And I just listened to this. You know, it was overall, it was very positive. You know, a lot of good news about manufacturing and, you know, and Besson came in and he had nothing but. Great news to report, of course. And I believe 80% of it

is true. But no one hears this. And so we, as humans, we love bad news and we love living in, in anger and we love living in sarcasm. And it's just, it's too bad because people get so wrapped up in it. I'll give you a point there for you talking about the Algos and regarding Massey's so-called affair with Boebert. I think that people attract these algos and they just sit in that muck all day. It sucks. It's no good. It's horrible. I've run into another interesting,

uh, algoat. I don't know what this is about, but I mentioned it to Mimi and she said, she says, oh, I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen one of these videos. Okay. Because I have... My, my, my algos are like... You'll talk about it on the show, just put them on the algo. So there's a bunch of Russian shi- Thanks. that keep cropping up,

and there's three of them in particular. I would love to see your algo, because of course you're getting Russian chicks after you got the nitwits who don't know how many planets there are or letters in the alphabet. Your brain is frying, my friend. So the Russian chicks, there's a bunch of them, and there's also clips of Putin. And I think that Putin wants to show up a

little more on TikTok. And it's what a great guy Putin is, and look at his security people, and he hands signals, and he does this, and he does that, and he's got... And there's just... And there's meaningless... drivel about Putin, about what a great guy he is. The Russian chicks are all pretty and they have funny stories about Russia and how depressing it is, but how great the Russian people are. And there's one Russian girl that's teaching how to say, cuss in Russian. You want to

know how to cuss somebody out in Russian? And it's one thing after another. And I think that this is, I believe there's an intelligence agency behind these. And they are promoting the idea that we're going to, and this backs you up, by the way. I don't know why you're complaining about it. But this backs your theory that it's Russia, China, United States, and maybe India. It's forming a new nexus because this is warming people up to Russia. Yes, and you're right. Add India. Lubio was just

there for the week. Right, he was there just coincidentally. With his wife. But not coincidentally. Nope. and uh but this right the russian prop the pro is Oddly pro-Russian, even though they're cynical girls, they're all very pretty. One in particular is a beautiful girl. And she's telling us about, you know, how we should, you know, listen to the Russian women. It's just crazy stuff. And they're short and they're on Insta and they're on TikTok. And I've

seen them, you know, they just. kind of crop up. They also show up on Twitter, but not to an extreme. And it's just fascinating because you just see it as an op. It's a psy-op. Maybe, but I think the algos, you know, whatever you're looking, the algos aren't all that smart. So, yes, I think it's very easy. for any agency to promote things and get people who are already interested in cute women. Could these Russian chicks, could they name all the planets? Probably, I'm just guessing.

Yeah, you know, they're not dummies. Right, so... You can see the difference. This is exactly what I'm talking about. about people are living in this Negative. In America, very much in America, I just see it everywhere. Sucks, everything's faking gay. Trump, Epstein. That's all I hear all day long. But you don't hear any of the good stuff. And it probably doesn't even matter to them anymore. Hey, there's no more idiot illegals coming in. Oh, that's good. Hey, you know, we got a lot of people at

work. Yeah, that's pretty good. Hey, we got a lot more jobs coming. I talked to one of our kids here the other day, Parker. I meet with him from time to time. It's like, I'm thinking about becoming an HVAC guy. I want to make 200 grand. Where does he hear it? On this show. Like, that sounds pretty good to me. We've been talking about it since we were on the topic of good news. Let's move to

this story. NASA moon base big story. Yeah, buggies and bases. Everybody, they're back! Take a look at NASA's vision of a future moon base. Massive. Potentially hundreds of square miles on the lunar surface. Complete with astronaut living quarters, lunar rovers, and power stations. With the ultimate goal of heading to Mars. And we want to be in an environment where we can learn the skills so that... Astronauts can go and plant the stars and stripes on Mars

someday. Splashdown confirmed. NASA's moon-based plans come just six weeks after the Artemis II mission that sent astronauts around the moon for the first time in 50 years. NASA hopes to land Artemis IV astronauts on the moon in 2028. Building a moon base will come in three phases starting this year, eventually using drones and rovers to scout the best landing sites near the South Pole. In 2029, they'll begin assembling the moon base, including solar and nuclear power

systems. Then in 2032, the first astronauts will begin living and working on the moon. NASA plans to establish a perimeter around the American base. It's an ambitious timeline and NASA will need to learn and react fast and... mitigate the risks including from long-term radiation exposure and micrometeorites that shower the moon. Now, do you think that this still inspires young people? this whole moon business? Or is it more like, hey, man. Get my gas down to three

bucks. That's an interesting question you'd bring up. Let me contemplate. There's a series of NASA, NASA, NASA. NASA. NASA. Yes, NASA. NASA clips. NASA has gone farther than anyone else. Yes, NASA. And so it starts with NASA, Moon Base, etc. This is an NBC. report and there's this three parts and it talks about what you know they're trying to Because Trump wants to defund or not defund, but to pull back on the NASA funding and give more of it to Musk. Okay. And so now NBC

is pushing back with this presentation. And NASA Administrator Jerry... Mr. Administrator, thank you so very much for joining us tonight. Fascinating timeline on all of this with the first part of Operation Moonbase. It seems like it's already in motion and it also seems like the first things first is... Hold on a second. Could they not come up with a better operation name than Operation Moonbase? Is that

really all they got? Lame. Yeah, very lame. Well, I'll tell you, we're off to a really great start, right? So Artemis 2, just a month and change ago, we got to watch those. Four amazing astronauts fly around the moon, bring them back safely home to Earth, reestablish NASA back in the business of sending astronauts to the lunar

environment. Artemis 3 is going to start stacking this summer, and then to your point, in parallel, while we're getting our astronauts ready for that grand return, we're building the moon base. So today we had some incredible announcements. first three missions that will go to the moon, uncrewed robotic ones later this summer. But we also announced two rovers on the lunar surface that have autonomous and crewed capability.

But this is just the beginning. We're talking about a $20 billion investment over the next seven years to establish that enduring presence on the moon, realize its scientific and economic potential. and master the skills for where we go next, and where we go next is Mars. Oh, please, do tell me, what is the scientific and economic potential? What is it? I have no idea, but I'll tell you this much. If they're going to spend $20 billion to put a moon base up, I think we spent

$120 billion for a high-speed rail in California. doesn't even have one inch of track blade. Well, in that regard... Maybe we should take some of our money. In that regard, I think you're right. The money is rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But I can predict what's going to happen. I can get your calci bets.

I'm going to over-predict after you're done. predicting I'm gonna meta predict my prediction is Artemis 3 probably, but Artemis 4, when they're actually going to send people to the moon, blow up. It's going to blow up. It's gonna be sad, and it's gonna blow up, and it's gonna be death, and it's gonna be no good. That's my prediction. Your meta prediction? You're not gonna do Jack. What do you mean? Nothing blows up, nothing happens. Yak, yak,

yak. They're going to talk, talk, talk. Send a couple of robots up there and one of them will stop working and then they won't know what to quite do. This will just get put off. 2028, they're supposed to send Artemis up with the people? No. Okay. All right. NASA 2. If I understand this correctly, you know, extraction of helium-3, again, that is probably pretty far on the horizon. But we're talking about nuclear power that may not...

Answering your question. What, what, are they answering my question? Your question was what are they, what are you talking about? What are they going to get out of it? What are we going to extract? Helium-3 So? What is the cost of extracting helium-3 from the moon? What is helium-3? I think it's used for, you know. Balloons. Balloons. It's not used for balloons. For party balloons. No, it has to do with nuclear power. Why don't you ask.

the book of knowledge to explain it okay i shall uh book of knowledge what is the use of helium-3 All right, here we go. Book of Knowledge is scribbling away and looking for answers for us all. According to the book of knowledge. Helium-3 serves four primary earthly purposes: Neutron detection for security screening, dilution refrigerators for ultra-low temperature physics, medical imaging including lung MRI scans, and as potential

fuel for future aneutronic fusion reactors. Listen to this. Nearly 80% of current Helium-3 is used for security purposes worldwide. For security purposes, for scanning you at the airport. Oh, wow. I'm so happy we're doing that, Nasa. If I understand this correctly, you know, extraction of helium-3, again, that is probably pretty far on the horizon. But we're talking about nuclear... power that may not have any radioactive fallout. There's all kinds of things we could do with helium.

Bull crap. Oh, all kinds of fusion. Yeah, here we go. What do you think sizable amounts of helium-3 would do to a space economy if we could... Space economy? All right. How about Earth economy? from the moon. So Helium-3 has applications for quantum computing and to your point, for fusion power it can be more... quantum computing everybody efficient fuel source for it what I will say is there is helium 3 here on Earth. We can manufacture it. In fact, a lot of the reactors up north

are capable of doing it. But the question will be, will there be so much demand that helium 3 from the lunar surface... Oh, so much demand for quantum computing. Okay, good night, Nassau. ...actually sparks that lunar economy. Lunar economy! We don't know. We haven't been there in a really long time, and we're going back. We're putting a heck of a demand signal out there. I mean, there's going to be so many landers and rovers on the

lunar surface. Certainly, we're going to have our astronauts there infrequently at first until you get to the point where it may be. Who is this? Is this the guy? Isn't this a NASA head guy? He's like a lunar. He is a lunatic. I think they found him in an insane asylum. An operational base similar to how we keep a continuous presence in low Earth orbit on the

International Space Station. So there may be a lunar economy, but what we do know is there is water ice there, and our astronauts will work with it, again, to master those skills that are going to be imperative, because in the not-too-distant future... If we can put astronauts in the moon, we'll be able to put them on Mars. The hard part is how do you bring them back?

And manufacturing propellant on the moon is a great place to figure it out when you're four or five days away from home and really get good at it before you send astronauts nine months, a year away from home on Mars where they're going to have to be incredibly good at those skills. I'm against all of this. This is the worst idea ever. Who cares? Open the straights. Give me $3 gas. Then we can talk about moon stuff. It's going to be all the lunar economy. Okay.

The price tag that you kicked around at the top of this conversation. Still 20 billion, but obviously mass drivers excluded in that, but is that realistic? Nuts. Oh, very realistic. Oh, absolutely. I mean, if you take a look at the resources that President Trump has made available between the Working Family Tax Cut Act, that's a $10 billion one-time plus up in NASA. I mean, the single biggest.

and supplemental investments since the Kennedy era. A large portion of that going into exploration, which is putting American astronauts back on the moon to stay, which is the moon base. And then I think you take a look at the 26 appropriations, the president's budget request. We absolutely have the resources. And not only that, to dial it up, to get... Get those landers on the moon, get the rovers there to learn in that unique environment. You're right.

We're not getting people on the moon. We're getting... Way most on the moon. robots robots okay impress me uh to inform phase two and phase three to realize that enduring presence on the on the moon And do all the other things. All the other things. The International Space Station. Our astronauts. All the other things. Our X-Plane portfolio. The orbital economy. What? We went from the lunar economy to our X, our X plane portfolio, the orbital economy,

the orbital economy, a lot of economies going on. We've got the space economy, the lunar economy, the orbital economy. You know, lots of great missions of science and discovery like Roman and Dragonfly. Roman and Dragonfly? Oh, he's just throwing out words now. That's the SpaceX stuff. The public should rightfully have high expectations for what NASA can deliver with the research. very high expectations sources available we intend to uh to show them land a dude there. All

right? Show me that. Yeah, and just to put things in perspective, I mean, $20 billion for a lunar base here in California. We're still waiting for that link from L.A. to San Francisco. And that's where we are. $100 billion. NASA, Mr. Joe, Isaacman. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much for that information. Thank you. I'm so incredibly happy. I'm so happy about this. It's great. That's just fantastic. I gotta play an interregnum.

Another one? Wow! No, we're into Regnum 4 today. Have you seen the- It's a show title. It's in a regular. Oh, no, I wrote it down. Have you seen

the new Ferrari? The electric one? The doofus looking one? Yes! I mean, as a kid growing up. You had your matchbox cars, your Hot Wheels. A Ferrari, that was like a thing you knew you'd never have. But it was cool, and you see one driving, like, oh, it's a Ferrari. You knew which model Ferrari it was. There goes, yeah. Yeah, you know, and then... There goes an Enzo. Yeah, an Enzo. Exactly. He's sitting in the middle. Look at that, the Enzo. And then this thing comes

along. I mean, what a dog. And I got this report on it, which made so much sense once I heard about it. It is called the Luce. It is the first all-electric Ferrari in the numbers. Well, at least they're impressive. 1,035 horsepower from four electric motors, zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds, five seats, and a starting price, get ready for it, $600. $40,000. That's the starting price. But the design, well, as one analyst said, the market

has spoken. Ferrari shares down about 4.5% on concerns that the Luce will cheapen the brand and add significant costs that will be hard to recover. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna telling CNBC that the... Ferrari looks different because EVs are different. This guy is about to be out of a job. When you have a new technology, you need to make sure that that technology is properly represented in the design. By making it look like a piece of crap.

The design must be different. It's different like stupid. You have to respect. The different needs, the different wishes of the clients. So we will have clients, already existing clients that will take it and some clients that are not clients today, some people that are not clients today that will get in our community. Now wait for it. This is what I was expecting, this part. And it certainly is different. The Luce was designed with... Johnny Ive. They

let that gay guy design it. You just got clip of the day for this one. I was like, holy moly, they didn't do that, did they? Wow, good catch. No wonder it's a piece of crap. And it's got gur- it's got- Johnny Ives here. I'm Johnny Ives. I built the latest Ferrari. I'm Johnny Ives. Looks just like an iPhone. It even uses the Gorilla Glass or whatever. And it certainly is different. The Luce was designed with Johnny Ives. He, of course, being the former Apple design

chief. And much like the iPhone, the Luce's body is made... Partly from Corning Glass. Corning Glass. What could possibly go wrong? And guys, a lot of people are concerned about that Ferrari engine sound that made Ferrari famous where they're going to do it through an electronic amplification system. Oh, no. Oh, no. Thomas of all dumb. Rear axle. amplifies it outside as well as in the cabin. And Sarah, as you said, we're just going to see how many people buy the new Luce. Luce. I'm Johnny Ive,

I built the lucha. I didn't know they were going to put a phony baloney sound effect on it. What's the point? Exactly. If you've got an electric car, one of the cool things about them is that they're super quiet or they make a nice hum. They make some, you know. Yeah, they hum along. I mean, they just do what they do. They're electric, but then you make it sound like a gas engine. Why? Yeah, I know. There were more fun things this week. Our, uh... socialist

mayor of New York met with the bankers? Yeah, I saw that. I thought that was kind of interesting. I

have two clips here. Mayor Mamdani spent most of yesterday afternoon meeting with the folks who helped make New York City the financial capital of the world to try to contain that. backlash that you mentioned. Mom Donnie met with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon at their new headquarters in Midtown. Mom Donnie's office sharing with Fox Business that the pair discussed, quote, how the public and private sectors can collaborate to deliver both excellent public goods and a thriving

city where all New Yorkers can succeed. From J.P. Morgan's perspective, they said that the meeting was constructive and included the importance of, quote, keeping the city competitive. JP Morgan has been signaling with hiring moves that they're more optimistic about other markets. The firm has reduced their headcount in New York and now has more employees in Texas than they do in the Big Apple. That's because we have a stock exchange opening up here in Texas, in Austin,

actually, I think. Mamdani also met with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon at Gracie Mansion. Neither the city nor Goldman Sachs has given Fox Business a readout of that meeting. These talks are the latest efforts by Mamdani to make nice. with the business community as he continues to push initiatives like city-run grocery stores and massive tax increases on second homes. Mamdani has also been meeting with other Wall Street executives from Bank of America and Blackstone, the world's

largest commercial real estate owner. His office has also reached out to Citadel founder Ken Griffin, whom Mamdani previously criticized. publicly over his New York City penthouse with that second home tax. Citadel telling Fox Business that Griffin welcomes thoughtful, serious conversations about the policies that can grow the city's economy and create more opportunities for all New Yorkers and that, quote, reckless political theater serves no purpose. No meeting

has been announced. yet and there was a a readout in fact they had a quote from jamie diamond about this meeting later in the day jp morgan chase ceo jamie diamond warning progressive left leaders are driving wealth and business and taxpayers out with their tax the rich agenda and socialist economic schemes can't demonize success the wall street to New York's Mayor Mamdani, saying he doesn't care what the socialist says, They think that somehow being anti-business is

going to help the city. It's not. So we all want to pay fair taxes. That's not the point. But at one point, people voted their feet. And there are a lot of studies that have shown that. All these people moved out and they're obviously the tax, obviously New York's booming, so you're not going to see in this year's taxes, but a lot of people are paying billions of dollars taxes left. Why do you want that? How does that help the lower paid person in New York?

Yeah, so it sounds like Jamie Downer was not so happy with that meeting. And the guy's no good. And... You know who's back on the scene? Talk about algos. The one, the only, Pastor Manning from Atla Ministries is back. Well, he's never gone anywhere. No, but he's never had anything good enough. I mean, he ran for mayor and it was kind of funny. But he also turned on Trump. Yeah. Well, he turns on everybody. Yeah, he turns on everybody. But I have a clip here where

he talks about Mom Donnie. Well, he'd be good on this, yeah. Yeah, not kid-friendly, everybody. So I'll give you a second to... Yeah, put your hands around your children's... Stick your feet in yours. Are you okay? I'm choking to death here. Are you all right? I was chewing on a lozenge. Ah, the lozenge went down the wrong pipe. Careful with that. Here we go. A woman can't raise children. You can't raise children with tits. You gotta

have balls. You gotta have a man. And... For a man to not take responsibility to raise his children ought to be executed. You have a responsibility before God. And we don't want to hear that. No, no, dude. We got the poorest, economically deficient people on the planet. The other thing is this. Is that when that boy Mondami came out on the scene? This nigga is a Muslim. He is a jihadist, if you will, intifada, if you must, Hamas-supporting, anti-Jesus Muslim. And niggas are talking about he

got a good program. I don't give a damn how good his program is. He's a Muslim and Jesus is Lord and I'm voting for him and I ain't telling nobody else to vote for him. What the hell's wrong with you? I'm tired of the Democrat Party making bitches out of our women and pussies out of our men. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of it. I've had enough of it! Had enough of it! The man needs to stand up and be a man! The Reverend never disappoints. Yeah, I don't know. I think that was disappointing.

It wasn't that disappointing. It wasn't that good. He used to be funnier. Well, he did have some betters. Not just a Muslim rant. Anyone can do that. Well, he was tired of the Democrat Party. Yeah, well, that part was okay, but he didn't have enough verve. I don't know. Verve. More verve. Speaking of verve. Well, before you go there, since you're talking about screwball clips... Mm-hmm. This is another one. I just want to get another one

of my predictions out of this. the way all right it's not quite getting there yet but it's gonna happen this is the drone show mishap clip okay a major fail at a drone show over the harbor in sydney australia a thousand drones in the sky almost 90 drones veering off course dozens plunging into the water no one was hurt officials say it was caused by a quote unforeseen change in radio frequency. Am I predicting that somebody's going to take over one of these drones shows with

a radio control and attack the crowd? Can you imagine 100,000 drones coming at you as you're watching one of these displays? Yeah, I can actually. Of course you can. You know hackers and the mentality and somebody's going to do it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, local news. Texas, local news. Texas news. uh oh yeah paxton yes paxton your buddy paxton and by Yeah. And yeah, you wanted to say something? Ed Cornyn. Yeah, so the runoff is complete. Cornyn got kicked out. Yeah, sorry, this is an Amy

Goodman clip, a real quick one, though. And in Texas, the state's Attorney General, Ken Paxton, backed by President Trump, defeated four-term incumbent... Senator John Cornyn in the Republican Senate primary runoff Tuesday. Paxton has previously been indicted on charges of felony securities fraud and was impeached from office on allegations of bribery, dereliction of duty, obstruction of justice, and

abuse of public trust. Paxton is the first primary challenger to defeat an incumbent U.S. senator from Texas since at least 1980. The Republican candidate spent nearly $130 million, making it the most expensive Senate primary in U.S. history. Paxton now faces Democratic nominee state. Representative James Tallarico in the general election in November. Now this is the fight to watch. This is the interesting one. Tallarico is an interesting

person. He's a screwball isn't he? Yes, he's uh, he's so he He went to seminary school, so he... he's a pastor. He says, I don't know. what kind of seminary school he went to, because he's all about the LGBTQ and God is a woman, and he said a lot of interesting things. Right, God's a woman, trans are the future. Yeah, precisely. All this sort of Texas stuff. So we're going, yes, well... You know, the Austinites, the Houstonites, the Dallastonians, they love this guy. Oh, he's a

Christian. Oh, well, he's a Christian. So, you know, and of course, Paxton is also a Christian. And here's the line of attack that Tallarico will be using. Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallarico. Thank you so much. and welcome back, Tom. Okay, hold on a second. Bye. I, uh, mea culpa. He said God is non-binary. I'm sorry. It's so much better than God is a woman. Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallarico, thank you

so much, and welcome back to Ion Politics. So now we know you're going to be facing... Republican Ken Paxton in November. You've wasted no time. You've come right out and called him the most corrupt politician in the United States. And I'm wondering how convincing an argument will this be for voters in this Republican state? Well, I want us to step back and appreciate the gravity of what

happened last night. The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate right here in Texas. Three years ago today, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office, his position of public trust to enrich himself and his donors. at our expense. That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why we can't afford anything. It's why we can't get ahead

no matter how hard we work. For 50 years, billionaire mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have rigged this economy against us. They've rigged the political system against us. And I think in this election, you're going to see Texans coming together, Democrats, independents and Republicans to defeat the most corrupt politician in America. And if we can do that in this race, in this year, in this state. then I think we can defeat this entire

corrupt system. And that's when we can start to unrig the economy, start raising our pay, start cutting our taxes and lowering our costs. He fails at the end, though. He's like, we got to get, you know, this guy's corrupt, he's no good. Once we get that guy out, then all of a sudden we can lower taxes. How does that make any sense? Those two don't compete, don't compute. I think it's going to be an interesting race to watch. I think Tallarico. So I have a question

for you. You're the Texan. Yes. I asked a question before about Coronin, and I'm asking this. Did anybody do due diligence? on Paxton. Why did he get picked? And knighted by Trump. Paxton sounds like a bad guy to push into this position. I think this is the Christian vote. As I said before, Paxson is in the faith office. With Paula White and that whole crowd there, he's in the West Wing all the time. He's in Trump's face. He's got Trump's ear. Yes, sir, Mr. President. Yes,

sir, Mr. President. Yes, yes, yes. The lobbyists love him because the guy is a player. That's why he'll do. Do whatever Trump tells him to do. I don't think he's a great guy. at all. No, you've said this before. Well, I'm answering. Yeah, he's a creep. And he's done, you know, dumb, nasty things. Well, I don't think he's a good candidate. Just listening to what you just said. played. I don't think so either. And I don't think he was a very good attorney general. In fact,

I think he was a bad attorney general. I will say Chip Roy did not become attorney general. I'm glad about that. I didn't like that guy either. I've seen that guy. I've met him several times. Swarmy. Another guy. No, I don't like Chipotle. Smarmy? Yeah, smarmy. Smarmy. Schwarmie, shwarma, whatever. Don't like him. I only have one more, uh... Sequence here I want to play two clips. This is to show you how dishonest, surprise, surprise, Ms. Now is. This is, although I did like the term that

was created here. But they brought in Joe Rogan, and so I have to stick up for Joe. Donald Trump not helping his midterm chances either with the thug fund we are seeing now. I think thug fund is good. That's a good term. Well, I don't. Well, why is it a good term? Because I don't like it. It sticks. It sticks for the Democrats. Yeah. Thug fund? Thug fund. Yeah, I think it works. What does it refer

to? It doesn't immediately come to... The reason I don't like it is because it doesn't bring anything to mind. Okay. Well, I thought it was good. We can disagree. That's not what the clip is about. Donald Trump not helping his midterm chances either. With the thug fund, we are seeing now bipartisan outrage. If you tune out of the news over the long weekend, it has only been building since a contentious meeting at the end of the

week. Republicans are upset and other Trump loyalists, including longtime MAGA allied podcaster Joe Rogan, also speaking out. That is so crazy. Imagine like, what? He's mega allied all of a sudden? Oh yeah, oh yeah. But then listen, listen. So it's about the thug fund. It's about the $1.776 billion. Oh, it's about that money that's going to go to the people that got screwed by the Jan 6 a-holes. The J6ers. Yes, exactly. And then he brings in

Rogan. Including longtime MAGA Allied podcaster Joe Rogan, also speaking out. That is so crazy. Imagine like somebody accused you of murder. Yeah. And it turns out you weren't guilty of that murder and then you sue them and you go, you can never prosecute me for murder again. And then you just go straight Uday Hussain. Yeah. And they're like, it's cool. This is crazy. Rogan is not feeling it. Now. I heard that. I'm like, is he even

talking about the same thing? No, of course not. He's talking about the fact that they had clips in the last show, which we didn't play, about Trump not getting prosecuted for IRS offenses. Right. If it was about that, the clip is disingenuous. I pulled the clip. Didn't Trump do a lot of, like, stock purchases? He's made a fortune. He's made a fortune in this term. They made a settlement with the IRS. I think that's why a lot of it came out recently. But, like, he can't

be charged with anything. Yeah, they can't be. The latest thing is that he and his... Kids in this company cannot be audited. Oh, that's cool. That is cool. That's my settlement. What was the settlement? What was the IRS being sued for? What was the accusation? It was for the leak. the leak of his tax returns. Okay, so the IRS leaked his tax returns? Yeah, he said they were reckless and... Yeah, the settlement of his $10 billion

lawsuit. 2018 leak of his tax returns to New York Times in the U.S. is forever barred and precluded from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons. And the Trump Organization's current tax filings, according to one-page document released Tuesday. That is so crazy. Imagine, like, somebody accused you of murder. Yeah. And it turns out you weren't guilty of that murder. And then you sue them. And you go, you can never prosecute me for murder again. And then you

just go straight Uday Hussein. So he took a clip completely. out of context and then joe and i think was tom segura they actually stumble upon the little bit that is also not reported about this settlement and they're like it's cool Yeah, it's fine. Now, here's the only thing, the detail of that, is part of that settlement that says that... like the language, that they cannot be

for their current tax filings. Does that mean, though, that in the future, future filings also fall under that immunity? Exactly. It's only about previous filings. But everyone makes it look like, oh, he can never be audited again in his life and- Yeah. It's a bull. crap yeah yeah well that's yeah good work media well good work if you work for the democrats Or people who just hate Trump. Basically, they've propagated a lie. Yeah, exactly. You know, and it's the old you are, I am what I

say you are. Precisely. Well, that's why we're here. Yeah, that's exactly right. If it wasn't for us, nobody would know anything. Breaking news, yes. How about us going to Hunter Biden showing up on Candace Owens and the two of them windbagging? Now, was this a new interview or was it an old interview? That was unclear to me. It was unclear to me. Whether it's Butler or Charlie or these things that... Well, it's definitely after Charlie, so it's got to be fairly new. Yeah, you're right. So,

glaringly not right. It's almost as if they're just saying... F you. F you. They're not even trying. I don't

care. You know what? psyops anymore and that's what I keep saying I'm like it's so disrespectful that we're not even getting good psyops anymore like we're supposed to believe he survived four what do we have four assassination attempts the first president that's ever survived four assassination attempts they quietly they lie to us about things and make a big deal and then they make it want to you know it's going to go away they're going to keep

pretending and telling us that this is a totally normal grieving widow, okay? No one's buying that. Like, something's just not right here. Everyone can see that. This is not how you would react to your husband being shot. And this sort of just, I'm fine. And two weeks later, I fully accept the narrative. I have no interest in anything else. It's over. Let's close it. I forgive him. Let's move on. You're asking us. to abandon our common sense and our humanity is what you're asking us to

do. And that kind of seems like where we're at, like they're insisting on this. And I'm going, where is this going to go? Because... We're not doing the thing they want us to do. Like they're just constantly giving us slop all the time. I mean, even the recent

White House Correspondents Dinner, there was so much. theater to it after. So much theater. And now it's kind of, okay, Secret Service maybe shot each other and we're just going to kind of quietly move on. But Trump needs a ballroom. Like, that's a normal reaction. Hey, there's a shooting duck. Hey, we better get that ballroom. By the way, it's going to cost a billion dollars now. And by the way, it's not from donors. And by the way, we're going to do it. Like, it's just like,

it's just the constant. Talk about gaslighting. This has been just this. We're not even, are we even a year into Trump's second term? We're a little over a year. A little over a year into his second term. And I don't think there's just been... Okay, so what I understand from this clip is they think that all of the assassination attempts are fake. And that Erica Kirk killed her own husband. Yeah. Okay. You got it. You nailed it. You pulled it right out of a hat. Yeah.

Even my wife. Says, I don't trust Erica. There's something up with her. There's something up with her. And I don't go into... We have an agreement about that. It's like, I'm just not, we're not going to argue about that. Um... But yeah. All right. And, you know, and Erica, she was grooming some girl. She's very suspicious. I think that it's just a... I think there's a market for this kind of thinking. No kidding. There's a big

market for it. And it's just feeding a market and it doesn't, and it's basically, I hate to say they're NPCs, but they're kind of non-playing characters. that are not important. - No, I disagree on the NPC part. I think you were right about the first part. There's a big market for this. See the algos I was talking about earlier. And people like this. They like to think this way. It's... It's a lot more fun. I did it for a long time. This is why people say,

I got a great note the other day. I think your Texas boomerism and financial security has... Clouded your judgment. What does that even mean? Well... One, I'm a boomer. And I'm not, but okay. There you are. Boomer adjacent. No, you're a boomer. You're millennial and Jason or X-Gen or whatever it is. Yeah, I'm Gen X. You're X adjacent. I'm X. I was literally the face of Generation X, but okay. Three months, three months of boomer territory. Call me a boomer. That's fine. But the funniest one

is your financial security. What? I look at the road ahead and like, I'm going to be doing podcasting. for a long, long time. Why do you think I'm podcasting when I go away for a weekend to worship Jesus? Why do you think I'm still podcasting on a Sunday? Why? Yeah, and a holiday. We're always working holidays. On a holiday. We're killing ourselves just trying to... Because of the financial... We're forced into this job. Well, no, and we're not forced into it, but this is our lot.

Yeah, it's our lot. Same thing. It's what it is. I believe our lot is being forced into it. It's just the way I see things. It's our lot, but we're forced into our lot. Wow. I mean, hey, it... It's not a bad job, but financial security? No. It's a good job. It's a good job. We get to ridicule things and make fun of people. Yeah, it's a fun job. I get this out of the way. Cars for Kids now banned in California. You know, I had this clip too, and you've been carrying it over for

three weeks. Yeah, I know. We knew this. We knew it years ago. 13 years ago, we knew that this was a Jewish organization in New Jersey. Yeah, Hasid's from

Brooklyn. That had nothing to do with Cars for Kids. We're back now with that infamous Cars for Kids commercial. The jingle that probably just got stuck in your head the second I said the name. But tonight the music is stopping in California where a judge has banned the ads. Steve Patterson explains why. ♪ Morning ♪ That Cars for Kids jingle. an earworm that lives rent-free in people's heads. Ours for kids, a business model you don't understand

and a jingle that will haunt you forever. 877 cars for kids but if you live in california a judge ruling that the charity has 30 days to pull the ads from state airways for violating false advertising laws the lawsuit was filed by bruce pewter ball who donated his Volvo after he says that melody got to him But he says he felt misled after learning where the money actually went. According to testimony from the charity's COO, much of it goes to a New Jersey-based Jewish organization, which

uses the funds for summer camps. trips to Israel, even a matchmaking service. He doesn't care that it's going to Jewish kids. He just wanted to know that because maybe he wanted to send it to, um... poor disadvantaged kids in California, which is what he thought the ads were doing. The judge finding that children, especially needy or under privileged children were not the exclusive recipients of the donations.

The nonprofit calling the decision deeply flawed, saying it's well known that we are a Jewish organization and our website makes it abundantly clear, adding that they plan to appeal. Steve Patterson, NBC News, Los Angeles. So here's my life. Here's my life. You bring this clip. I'm praying that I hope we never have to do play this clip. I mean, I had the clip and I didn't play it. You're looking at the rock. This, this. Yes, I see the clip every single time you're going, he's recycling

the cars for kids clip again. And then, okay, so then you call. for it. We play it. And what's the first thing I get? WTF Curry playing the jingle on the show. It's John's clip. It's not me, people. This is my life. The best line is that I donated a car to the Cars for Kids and I never got a kid. It's not. funny it's a you this is a horrible way to go into a donation segment It's probably the worst thing you could ever do before a donation segment. Well, I'll tell you one thing

it does. It emphasizes something that we don't talk about much anymore, but we've talked about in the past. Jingles work. This is true. We have a jingle expert that's a part of our crew, basically. He's an ancillary. He's no agenda adjacent. Yes. And jingles work, and we use them for that reason. Yes, I guess so. Probably do this. And then just to make sure people know that jingles work. Is that a jingle? It's the lousiest jingle we have. Hmm, not very catchy. With that, I want

to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who puts... the C in cars for kids. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning, I'd ship to see Boos from Grand Feet and the Air Sub. There's no water names and nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me count you for a second. *Growls* Wow, 1388. Low. That's very low. You know what happened? She played

that stupid clip. No, that wasn't it. Everybody ran away. I can't hear that jingle. It is the worst jingle, actually, but they work. They work. They work. We are, um... We are broadcasting. live. We do it every Sunday and Thursday. You can listen to us on the No Agenda stream, noagendastream.com. And if you want to find out how many times we talked about that bogus organization, or at least the bogus commercial for the organization, go to

bingit.io, noagenda.clipgenie.com, and you can just search. And you'll see we've been on this for a long time. But somehow, all of a sudden, the mainstream media, I guess they weren't, were they not? Spending enough, add buy? Well, the Carson Kids, I think it was done as a public service. I don't think there was any payment out. No, but maybe that they wanted them to step it up a little bit. Because, you know, they were buying a lot of airtime at one point. I don't think they

were buying any airtime. I thought those were all PSAs. Oh, that's a good point. I don't know. Hmm. How come we can't get a PSA? Because we don't have any... No agenda for kids. We're not a charity. Oh, that's right. And for good reason. Because then you can't talk about politics. according to the Johnson Amendment. You can listen to it. Now, here's a cool way to listen to us. Because, you know, people are busy, lots of stuff going on in your life. However, there are these

modern podcast house. We are, after all, a podcast. You go to podcastapps.com. You get one of these podcast apps. And then the modern ones, they know when we're going live. All of these live shows of no agenda stream, when they're going live, they send out a special pod ping and you get a notification in your app, just like any other notifications. Hey, no agenda is live. You tap on that. You're listening to show live. Even better, perhaps. After we publish the show, within 90 seconds, we're

updated on your app, unlike the legacy apps. Yeah, that's the interesting part to me. Yeah, because some can take 15 minutes, a half hour, an hour. Now, there's this one app that a lot of people use, Overcast, which is not... Marco is an interesting guy. He only makes apps for Apple. And he hates me. Bye-bye. Because he is very, if you want to talk about woke, the guy is super woke. I mean, over the hill woke. Over the top. Is he non-binary? He could be. I

don't know. Probably. But he never liked the idea of, you know, when we started podcastindex.org, we said... Let me see. Actually, I should tell you exactly what we said. What did we put on the website? We put... Hold on. We had a statement. Here it is. The Podcast Index is here to preserve, protect, and extend the open, independent podcast ecosystem. And... At one point we had in there... freedom of speech. I don't see that on there anymore. We had that. The whole thing was started because

podcasts were being deplatformed. That's why we started. That's why Dave Jones and I started it. And he didn't like that. Oh, your free speech, huh? That's the freeze peach people. Yes, he's one of the free speech people. Did the no agenda social, which we both had to bail out from. Yeah. Ah. I can't remember what the big deal was. They always used to use the term freeze speech. So he always has to do things differently. So instead of, so one of the, we developed a couple

of things with the, with podcast index and with. podcasting 2.0 we developed the chapters and transcripts and with this 25 other ones So. We make transcripts of our show and we put that in the RSS feed and then the modern podcast apps pick that up. If you don't have... transcripts and almost every podcast host now delivers transcripts along with, you know, your, your files. what Apple started doing is Apple started making transcripts for podcasts that didn't

have transcripts, which is, you know, okay, that's Apple. They want to do that. The idea is if I have my own transcript. my own, then you should take my transcript. You shouldn't be using your transcript. Would you agree? Right. Exactly. There's nothing that makes nothing but sense. So do you think that once Overcast, Marco's app started to do transcripts, do you think that he would use our transcript? I'm guessing no. No. And so here's how. The

transcript showed up for our previous show. As the jingle played... The jingle being... buzzkill in the morning How do you think that showed now on It shows up fine in our transcript. How does it show up in the Overcast transcript? I'm sure it's very poor. Craig Bond and Boss Kill. What? Yes, exactly. Craig, as in Craig. You're Craig? Craig Bond. And Bond, you're Craig Bond. Yes, and you're Boss. kill b-o-s boss kill b-o-s-k-i-l-l yeah use our

transcript marco He's not even listening to this show. No doubt. Anyway, that's why you want a modern podcast app that doesn't suck. And we don't have ads. We don't have ads. I think the Overcast app has ads. The ads, unless you pay for it. See, you don't get ads if you don't pay for us. If you don't pay for us, then that's your own conscience you have to deal with. All we ask for is value in exchange for the value we deliver. Now, if you got no value from it, fine. Why are you listening? If

you did get value. then you should probably consider at some point sending that value back to the show. It's a very simple system. We've been living by it for

over 18 years. It's called value for value. Now, you can deliver that value to us in time, talent, or treasure. It's kind of, again, a very simple, simple idea. And... Value comes in many different ways when it comes to time and talent. Many people will organize meetups. Also known as, what are they, teen, what is the term? Teen Takeover. Teen Takeover. No Agenda Takeover. No agenda takeover. So you can do that. You can help us out with boots on the ground. Always very helpful, boots on

the ground. And man, lots of people sending Kratom boots on the ground. Various, various types of feedback. Most of them saying, I've been chewing those leaves forever. I feel great. And so I'm like, well, my mom is losing. but she may be on the synthetic stuff, okay? But it's all appreciated. We take it all into account. Oh, one other boots on the ground. I got a boots on the ground back from our lobbyist about the flavored vapes. And the CDC guy quitting. Okay. And she tapped

her network in D.C. And indeed. Trump forcing him to approve the flavored vapes was the reason he quit. That was the last straw. which seems like an odd hill to die on. Yeah, I'd say it is an odd hill to die on. I think he wanted to quit anyway. I think so too. So we always want to have a nice piece of art representing the show for our album art, another thing that we've been using for a long time. Pretty much from almost the beginning of the show, ever since the first art generator showed up.

Sir Paul Couture doing that, another great example of value for value. Actually, it was Couture, no, it was Randy and the... There was also another guy, Randy. I can't remember his last name. We lost him. He's overboard. He's dead. Maybe he's dead. Randy. I can't remember. There was an original art generator, which is missing. And then it kind of just... faded and Paul Couture took over and did a whole new one and now is the king

of the art generator. He is the king. But the original one still had some pieces that are lost to time. Oh, no. And then remember drop.io? Yeah, I remember drop.io. Do you remember? I was... publishing show notes and art and everything on drop.io. And that was the big lesson about Silicon Valley. We woke up one morning and, oh, we've shut it down. We've sold to, I think it was maybe Facebook. And then all of a sudden you can't use it. It was gone. All of our

content was gone. That's when we started hosting things ourselves. Lots of producers have stepped up for that. Anyway, the artwork, we wanted something very traditional. We typically do that on days of importance, like Memorial Day. Blue Acorn understood it perfectly and did this dynamite piece with just an eagle with his feathers, all like, just very energetic piece. Like, yeah, don't mess with America. Memorial Day. It was a beautiful piece, Blue Acorn, and we unanimously decided that's

the one we want. Now, a lot of people took this to a very strange level because, hey, I can prompt, why not? And, you know, it's not appropriate to have thanked the fallen for their courage. No. Ryan M. Scott? No, that was odd. Very strange. We had Memorial Day alien combination. No, we're looking for Mother's Day, Christmas, Easter, Veterans Day, Memorial Day. We're looking for something traditional. And we got it from Blue Acorn. um We also learned that, I think, didn't we get an email from

Nesworks? The previous art that we selected was very- Yes, Ness works in an elaborate email explaining how he uses Photoshop. Yeah! which we suspected. Yes, that was the flamingo with the drones. Yeah. Yeah, and how he did it. And so it was Photoshop. It was good. We love seeing, and we just chose it because it was a good piece that proves that it doesn't all have to be slopped to get chosen. Noagendaartgenerator.com. That is how you

support us with your photographic. and prompting talent, and we appreciate that. We also thank all of our... Donors, of course, they're all producers, every single one of you. $50 and above. We will thank everybody under $50 for reasons of anonymity. And we have a special kudos for people who are able to. support us with $200 or more. Not only will we guaranteed read your note, but we also give you an official Hollywood title, which is the real deal. You can go to imdb.com. You see thousands

of no agenda producers in there. Some of them are actual Hollywood big name producers. You get an associate executive producer credit, $300 or more, an executive producer credit. And while they last. we have the Red Knight Order of the Heart still available. We only made 50 of them available. This is in honor of John still living and

still being with us, which we're very happy about. Not only will you get your knight ring if you don't have one already, but you will get a very handsome red knight pin, and you will be admired by many at your team takeover, Noah Gennomito. And we start with $1,002. from Sir Switcheroo, Black Baron of the I-4 Corridor, Commodore, and he's in Orlando, Florida. And I very much appreciate it. And he says, ITM, John and Adam, this order of the heart contributions. signifies my love for you

guys, no homo. John. You have become too agreeable. This is understandable given what just happened to you. I'm getting a lot of this feedback from people. I'm apparently becoming too agreeable. And I'm being, uh... pushed around by you specifically. Well, who else should push you around? You're like, you're like becoming a bully. An egregious bully? Mm-hmm. And I'm supposed to, and I've taken too much of it. I'm putting up with too much of your means. bullying.

I wish I could come up with a synonym for bully, but I can't. Let's read the note and see what he actually says, because your explanation seems a little over the top. John, you have become too agreeable. This is understandable given what just happened. happened to you and I'm not talking about your heart surgery. You can't hide behind that. You experience an immense outpouring of love after your absence. This is a well-deserved blessing that must have

moved you. However, for the sake of the show, please lean into your buzzkill vibe to keep Adam sharp. And the show's spicy. Adam tried to be nicer to John. You guys are the best. No jingles, no... Well, you know... Uh, I can't. John annoys me, uh, often. Uh, so, I- Never. I- What? What? No, it's not true. You are not in my head. I'm just saying. I'm taking a note at face value. So try to be, I will try to be nicer. I guess an example of that would be me complaining about you bringing dumb

women clips onto the show. I love the dumb women. Was I not nice? I'm just trying to keep people listening to the show is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to help the show. And we should mention something as an aside. I don't want to change the subject. should have been brought up earlier in the show. We now have an official No Agenda Podcast Insta account. Insta? No agenda podcast. It's Adam and John are the proprietors. I'm not. We need a thousand, a couple thousand

people. Subscribe to this thing so it's a no agenda podcast, all one word. Instagram. Uh... So I've been kicked off Instagram. What? Yeah. My account, which I only use to check in on my daughter and, you know. like post a picture on her birthday, Adam C. 1999. um I was told when I went to log in, Bill, you need to log in from a device that has had the app used with Instagram before. Well, I've never used the Instagram app. So, okay, I install the Instagram

app, log in, it says no. No! But I mean, it'll send an email to my email address and say, yeah, you can't reset your password or even log in until. You prove that you are Adam by logging in in the app. on a device that has been used for Instagram before. So I'm in a hole. I can't get out. I can't get in. I can't even see our own Instagram account. Well, you're there. I just searched you, Adam. I'm there, but I can't log into my

account. So whenever someone sends me an Instagram... link I can click on it says install the app or continue on the web I continue on the web and then seven times out of ten I can see it and then it says log in. I'm stuck. I cannot get into my Instagram. Well, I'm looking at your posts. Yeah. I think this is a benefit. to society. And I'm supposed to be nice to you. I'm just saying. I don't post. What is the last... There are tons of posts on here. What's the last post I made? You

got a picture of Christina. Yes, exactly what I just said. Happy birthday. Well, there's one and there's a picture of you and there's a picture of a horse. And then there's a, you don't post that much. No, I don't ever. I just said that. See, here you go, annoying me again. Well, I did now. So what difference does it make whether you post a lot or not?

Young men should get their act together and all listen to the No Agenda podcast. A little long, but... Sounds very close. Very close. It's

close. It's not great. Not great, no. And then we have... This is Morgan Freeman. I just love these two guys and this podcast. He doesn't say no agenda. Could have been any podcast. This will be stolen by other podcasters and be like, Hey, look what Morgan Freeman said about our podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really good. Just love. these two guys and this podcast. And there's some kind of weird edit in there. No, I think Peterson No, no, that was him. That was part of the

voice. Well, it's no good. It's no good. We're going to use Peterson. Peterson is good. I like Peterson. He's long, but it's good. We'll use him, but we will use him after we do John C. Dvorak's tip of the day. ♪ It's for you and me ♪ Just the tip with JCB And sometimes, Adam. Okay, first of all, for the people that are documenting these tips, the last tip was not mentioned that the badia that I'm talking about has no salt, there's no added salt. salt

is a special version. You just said that. I know, I'm repeating it because people don't listen to the donation segment. Oh, they just tune in for the tip of the day? They don't listen to this either, but it's beside the point. I'm making it clear. And so please make that correct. There's another correction involving that tip. is that you can't get it in a big giant bottle. It's only a small pack. Tiny pack. Tiny pack. All right. No, that's good. I'm excited. I have ordered. I'm

excited to try it. It's a correction. Okay. So today's tip of the day. is now I'm looking at these. I'm thinking what we paid is too much. But I'm not sure what the cost was on these. because there's a million different versions of this product. And you're going to have to try different ones to see which ones you like. But I'm telling you, the best snack I've run into in the last decade. Freeze dried blueberries. Huh. These things are unbelievable. They taste like they have the

quality of corn pops. So they're just crunchier than they're just crunchy. And you just can't eat enough of them. In fact, the bag that I got from Trader Joe's, and you can get these at Trader Joe's, and Trader Joe's is in 43 of the 52 states. Mm-hmm. so you can go get him there. You can cross the state line to get him, son. and so uh trader joe's has them but they also if you go to amazon there's about 30 vendors of these things and there's all different kinds of freeze dried fruit. What is the

sugar content per serving? It's pretty low. Really? Blueberries don't have a lot of sugar anyway. They're a good source of protein. It's a good source of a lot of things and they're very low in sodium and low in potassium. They're outstanding products. antioxidant value yes high antioxidant but you just but the one pack turns out to be one serving and you had quite a few of them in here but you end up you can't stop eating them they're worse than olives oh olives oh man olives

i hear you oh man I hear you, man. Have you ever had the Louisiana pickles? Louisiana pickles? I don't know what that is. What is special about them? Oh, now this is a producer and he does... You haven't gotten those Louisiana pickles? No one sent me anything. Oh, okay. I'll have him send some to you. Yeah, since it's sweet Swedish. Oh, it's great Okay. Anyway, back to your blueberries. Anyway, so freeze-dried blueberries. Check it out. Freeze? Is this the kind that, uh... that tries to run

down the hotel hallway? Huh? No, you don't remember. Oh, the blueberry that was in the hall. Yes, there it is. dried blueberries everybody find out more tip of the day dot net no agenda fun dot com Created by Dana Burnetti. And there it is, the end of another broadcast day.
