Show Open — Euphoria, Fraud is Everywhere

fraud never fraud is everywhere Good morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. What's the fuss about the TV show Euphoria? I'm John C. Dvorak. Okay, I'll bite. The TV show Euphoria. I don't think I've even heard of this. Of course not. Why would you keep up with what's going on with Gen Z? *laughs* What is the show? I may have heard about it, but what is the show about? What about Gen Z? I don't know what it's about. I haven't never seen it. Okay, so... It's supposed to

be a big deal. In fact, here's this... BBC headline. Headline. Breaking. Almost rage bait. Has euphoria gone from defining Gen Z to dividing them? With a picture of Sidney Sweeney as the teaser. I don't know, man. We just started watching Dutton Ranch. So that's what we're watching. Oh, that's another Taylor Sheridan. That's the guy Taylor Sheridan does, you know, Landman, Yellowstone, all these cowboy shows. And it's pretty good. Dunn Ranch is good. It's not- hey, you

know what? Can you just stick to one of them? Well, no, we finished all of the other ones. What are you talking about? Is Landman done? The most recent season is done, yeah. Why isn't he working on another season? Well, I'm sure he is. How many shows can this guy do at once and be good at it? You know, this is what showrunners do. When you're hot, you got to do it. You got to just keep pumping them out, man. Pumping them out. And then there

was Madison. Was it Madison? Count Madison, I think. With Kurt Russell and... I got a name, Blondie. Blondie. Yeah. Another good show. There's lots of good shows. By Taylor Sheridan? Yeah. It's like the guy Darren, what is his name, who did the Beverly Hills 90210. Darren O'Neill. Darren O'Neill, that's right. Famous. Beverly Hills 90210. And for a while he was doing all the shows and then he did the... the new, was it the new series of

Sex and the City, and it was horrible. You know, he tried to rekindle that old spark that he had. I don't know. Hey, you know what? Nobody cares. I think literally nobody cares anymore about good TV shows. We might watch them, we might not. It's not like it used to be. Not like the good old days. Where you'd be like, "Hey, did you see Friends last night? It was awesome!" Yeah, it's because we're only three channels.

Congress Stock Trading Ban — Speaker Johnson

Pretty much. So I'm looking at X this morning, and you think that Paris is burning down. And, you know, there's all these... Because they won a soccer match. So is that what it is? Yeah, the Saint-Germain team won the... The big cup, the club cup. And there's a first time that any team except Real Madrid has ever won it two years in a row. And the French have gone nuts. So the way that plays out on X is immigrants torching businesses, looting stores. Oh, it's a

celebration of the soccer team. So be true. Yeah, well, yes, but that could also be a celebration of the soccer team. That's hilarious because you don't hear anything about the football match. You only do if you listen to the BBC or the... That's my point, though! People are, you know, you look at X, go like, oh, the Muslims. the desk burning it up. I will say we watched the last season, the last episode of Hacks. I don't think you'd like it with Gene Smart. Where she's

a comedian. I told you to watch it and you probably hated it. I watched the beginning. The first season I watched, I thought it had some elements that were good, but it was unrealistic. Well, hello. And so the very last one, the very last, like the series closer. Let me guess. She gets shot. Oh, no. By an immigrant. No, but they go to Paris. And Tina and I go like, this is unrealistic. Where are the Muslims? That's like whenever you see a show on this London,

like, nah. No, I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing it. London's loaded. So this thing was trending on X, and it was one of those clips where I'm like, uh. I gotta go find a longer version of this. So the way this was played is... Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House. uh wants more money for congress they want to pay raise which not it was not even

HHS Autism Fraud Audit — Cato 51,000% Minnesota

the issue at all but so that kind of like i hadn't heard about that yeah well i saw that it wasn't actually what he was pushing for but okay no and and so what it was what he was pushing for is more stock trading that's exactly the way you take And if you listen to the clip, here it is. Well, look, you know, the salary of Congress has been frozen since 2009. You know, when you adjust for inflation, a member of Congress today is making 31 percent less than they made in that year. It goes

down every year. And over time, if you stay on this trajectory, you're going to have less qualified people who are willing to make the extreme. I mean, people just make a reasonable decision as a family on whether or not they can come and move to Washington, have a residence here, a residence at home, and do all the things that are required. So the counterargument is, and I have some sympathy, look, at least let them engage in some stock trading so that they can continue to take

care of their family. So. I had the same response. You just like, oh, that's the first thing you'd think. Yeah. And of course, the first clue is this is posted by the House Democrats account. So I'm like, okay, let me go find the full clip. Let me see what he actually said. In fact, he is for a ban on. insider trading. Oh, that's cool. Here it is. I'll tell you my honest opinion on it. I mean, I'm in favor of that because I don't think we

should have any appearance of impropriety here, okay? But the other side of it, some people say... Well, look, you know, you see how that how they cut that bit off at the beginning was I'm in favor of the ban on stock trading. And they cut that off and then it turns into- Oh yeah. That's a shocker to me. I'm glad you uncovered this scandal. Well, so here's another one. And this has been running for like a week and a half. And I want to ask you

a question after we listen to this. There's all kinds of fraud being... Fraud! Everest fraud is everywhere! Especially the Somalians. Uh... the Muslims. And so there's an audit across 50 states. Now, I'm going to see, let's see if you pick up on the same thing that I did when you hear this clip. Now, we'll audit all 50 American states looking for potentially massive fraud. In the billing of autism treatment, This is happening now amid a recent

explosion in spending on autism services, North Carolina alone. apparently saw an 11,000% increase in the last four years. Why was that? Good question for Alexandria Hoff live in D.C. Alex, hello. Good morning. Hey, Billy, that is a good question because according to that data coming out of North Carolina, the use of taxpayer-funded autism services is significantly outpacing the number of children being diagnosed. So something's not right there, and it's not just in the Tar Heel State.

A recent analysis by the Cato Institute found that in five years, Medicaid billing has surged in every other state that makes their data public. on ABA therapy. It's Applied Behavior Analysis. That's what it's called. For reference, Minnesota's ABA spending increased by about 51,000% since 2018. We all know what happened there. President Trump spoke on that yesterday. So that with millions of dollars just being stolen, everybody had

autism. Everybody had autism. They said, incredible action Just seems so my see what they're doing. You haven't seen it. I listened to this. And I'm thinking, well, hold on a minute. RFK Jr., the president, myself. Everybody has been saying, the studies show that everybody has autism. One out of three boys. thinking this scam is much bigger than they're talking about here. perhaps the actual study of autism

of how many people have autism. was the scam to begin with, an inside job before it even got to the Medicare and all of this money that was going to autism treatment. How, we've only heard, well, there was nobody with autism when I was a kid. Now everybody has autism. Is this much bigger? I mean, doesn't anyone

see? the connection there between this thing that we've been told for the past five years over and over and over again that every single kid has autism it's all because of the vaccines Maybe some of that is overblown? For the purposes of scamming the public out of their tax dollars? Precisely. I like the thesis. I mean, what I'm missing is anyone else discussing the thesis. It seems like a no-brainer. Like, yeah, remember, everybody had autism. The

president just said it. Everybody's got autism. That's what he said a year ago. Everyone's got autism. We've got to stop this. But now there's too much autism. Treatment? Something does not compute here. Something is a lot. So I have a couple of things I wanted to talk about today, too, which is along these same lines. OK. Things don't make sense. And one. that The one that's gotten into me and I started looking into it. is the

Freedom 250 / America's 250th Anniversary

Freedom 250. Oh, this is great. So here, play this. This is the BBC's report on this. Trump 250 concerts. Donald Trump has announced he's considering cancelling a series of concerts celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. and replacing them with a single act, himself. From Washington, here's Tom Simons. In his post, Donald Trump described himself as the greatest president in history, the GOAT, and said he was capable of getting bigger audiences than Elvis in his

prime. It was a riposte to a series of... who've said they won't take part in the Freedom 250 celebrations, including the funk and soul band The Commodores and the country singer Martina McBride. Donald Trump said he was now looking at the feasibility of putting himself on stage in an America is Back rally in just four days' time on Wednesday. in Washington, D.C. Now before you comment, I have the NBC version of this, which mentions a few

more artists. Tonight, with preps already underway for an event celebrating America's 250th birthday on the National Mall, a new snag. This will be a time like you've never had in your lives, America 250. Six musical artists originally announced as performers now dropping out, many citing political concerns. Country singer Martina McBride writing, I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event. out to be misleading.

Rapper Young MC sang, told about any political involvement. and Poison frontman Brett Michaels, writing, it's evolved into something much more divisive than I agreed to be part of. The event is organized by Freedom 250, a public-private partnership launched by President Trump. We have a president that wants to celebrate 250 years of America, and that's exactly what we're doing. That's how it was sold. to performers. Everyone is backing out. A representative for Vanilla Ice. ABC News. is

proud to help celebrate America's 250th anniversary. Others still slated to perform include... and Fab Morvan of Milli Vanilli. Okay, so... I hear all these names. You know, back in the 90s, I was. I had a top 30 hit list syndicated radio show. And the way you got it on, the way it works is you give them the show for free. They run it Sunday morning and they get to sell three minutes of airtime. And I got

this. local airtime and then i would sell you know six minutes of the rest of each hour on a national basis it was actually very lucrative but the only way you could get the stations to take it was if i buy ron allen kind of deal completely it was lucrative man it was good but then i sold it to reebok and to pep In fact, I think it was Pepsi's, Adam Curry's. Pepsi top 30 hit I can't remember But the way to clear it is I'd have to go to all these different bad top 40

radio stations. I've been to every single one of the 50 states. And you've got to do their B-91 summer jam. And it was always, it was Milli Vanilli. It was Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. It was all these Vanilla Ice. It was all these track acts. This is a track act concert. Who cares? I mean, the Commodores? It's not like Lionel Richie's showing up with the Commodores anymore. And then it's happening in four days from now? No, it's not. I got the schedule here. I

don't understand that. Martina McBride was scheduled for June 25th. That's not four days from now. No, it's not. These reports are all bull crap. In fact, if Trump goes on and talks about America 250, that's different than Freedom 250. Freedom 250 is a disaster waiting to happen. It's idiotic. What is it? What is it? Okay, well here's the problem. Just as a little background, America 250 was put together by Obama. And it's still in play. The

chairman, the honorary chairman is Obama and George Bush. We've got competing 250s. And so Trump, in January, came up with this Freedom 250 thing and put this bonehead Silicon Valley guy. And I want to hear, I'm just give you an indication of what a megalomaniac this guy is. Who? Keith Krach. So you have to go to KeithKratch.com. Oh, man. Now this guy ran a reba. DocuSign. Angie's List. He's a Silicon Valley hack. And he's rich. He's loaded. I think he's a big donor. But if you

go to KeithKretsch.com. Is it Keith? Hold on. K-E-I-T-H. K. Okay. R-A-T-C-H dot com? No, I think it's C-R-A-K-R-A-C-H. Oh, KRA. Keith Cratch. Okay, who is this dude? Oh, co-founder and channel. Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue. Okay, so if you look at this guy's megalomaniac website, nobody

AI Bubble — Arvind / Anthropic / Bezos / Aquahire

in their right mind puts a personal site together that looks like this. This is great. This is me everywhere. Leadership. You'd think he was from Bombay. This is what Indian guys do. Oh no, I'm very important. So they do it for their moms, mostly, I'm told. Mommy, come over from Bombay. I'll show you how to meet President Trump. Sorry for being racist, everybody, but I can't help it. So this guy, yeah, it's not racist. So they're Caucasians, how can they be racist? Caucasians with melanin. So...

So let's look at this act. Now, the first thing, when I think of putting together an America 250 thing, what do I think, what comes to mind when it comes to like what? What kind of acts represent the country? Milli Vanilli? Of course not. No. So here's the guy, he's got this set up as Martina McBride, whoever, you know. C&W, so okay, she's somebody, but she doesn't want to do it. No. By the way, none of these people seem to have been contacted except for Bret

Michaels. They just put their name on it. The C&C Music Factory guy who I think now says he's not. By the way, C&C Music Factory, I don't think the guy even sang on the record. It's just the guy who dances, just like Lily Van Leeuwen. Let me give you the list. Martina McBride, C&C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice. These are all America 250. Where is Lee Greenwood? Where is Kid Rock? The kind of people that Trump like. Right. They're not on this list. That's what gave me

the signal that this is bull crap. Yeah. And it's this guy, this Keith Krach guy running. He was given the job. This is a classic example of Trump picking the wrong guy. Yeah. He's running this. Freedom 250 thing into the ground. It's an embarrassment for the president who's got to back the guy up. He's not going to get rid of him because he's a big donor. Oh,

wait a minute. Oh, hold on a second. This concert, the so-called concert we're talking about, is part of the Great American State Fair, which will be on the National Mall. Yes, that's exactly the kind of acts who are on the fair circuit. The Westbury Music Fair. Yeah, second rate. The losers. Yeah, with no original band. Well, Vanilla Ice is very patriotic, though, I'll have to say that. Yeah, well, he wants to do it. But, you know. But where are the real people that Trump would pick?

This is bull crap. This entire Freedom 250 thing is a fiasco. And yeah, they maybe have a fireworks display, but it's in competition with the other thing. And it's like, seems to me to be just a poorly executed. And this guy, this cratch character who doesn't seem likable and he seems like an egomaniac, he's spread too thin. If you look at his website, he's doing everything. He's a professor. He's a CEO. He's this, he's that. The thing though is the Rededicate 250. That was actually quite

good. I watched a lot of that. That was on May 17th. And that was a pretty good show. And they had every, you know, of course, it's a, you know, a Christian Bible thumping thing, which is why I watched it. Well, that's why you would like it. Yeah, but it was also, the show was... put together very well. It was tight. Yeah, but it was a bunch of Christian bands. It wasn't Lee Greenwood. I think he might have been there, actually. Well, here's what's interesting. So

now I have an ABC report. And this talks about America 250th crosshairs. So there's already this confusion between freedom to 50. America 250, and then America 250th. There's a branding problem here. Oh, definitely. This is where Cory Booker goes off. And on this issue of the 250th anniversary of America... You had these performers that have canceled. They perform at the celebration on the mall. And now Trump is saying he's going to turn it into celebration at

the mall. No, it's a fair. It's a fairground. A Make America Great Again rally where the entertainment's going to be Donald Trump. What are you telling people? Great. How should this anniversary, it's a huge moment in the country's history. How are we going to do this? Should this be celebrated? How do you prevent this from turning into simply a partisan affair? Yeah, I mean, this is the problem with Trump. He's a divider in chief. Oh, please,

get him off the stage. It's not insane. what American history has always been about. standing up against authoritarian figures and making our democracy more robust. This is one of those moments where we have a man that is unfortunately reminding us of the dangers of a democracy when you have an out of control president and what the, I think, education moment is, is the only way he's ultimately going to be stopped is if more people Stand up.

Answering the question. No. That's how we've advanced through crises before. No. No. I heard the CNC Music Factory guy, who I also did dates with. 100% lip sync. Good dancing. He had his little crew there. Um... People are going around calling up these artists saying, you know, this is a Trump thing. This is not about America. It's a Trump thing. It's a Trump thing. And these artists are like, whoa, I don't want to lose my... My track dates at the fair, the blue states. That's what's

happening. There's a coordinated campaign to ruin the fair, the state fair at the mall. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, of course. Everything that Trump does, they find ways to submarine it. And Trump doesn't help things by... putting some of these people in charge that shouldn't be doing it. Wait a minute. I mean, if he'd given the, just said, hey, Elon. Yeah, organize this. Can you use your skills to pick somebody to run this thing for me? He could have asked us and we've done a better job.

I would think so, yeah. And we would have done an award show and everything. Podcast Awards, we'd slip that in. Wait a minute. Are we criticizing the president? Because I don't think that's our brand anymore, John. We can't be. Oh, no, we can't criticize the president. You have that note. You want to read it? No, I'm not going to read it. I would read that one note. I didn't even. We got a note from some some disgruntled listener. You guys are just – but I looked

him up. He donated a couple years ago. We're not getting anyone donating during this. I'm blaming Trump for the low donations. Yes, of course. Mainly because until he gets his Iran – Iran, Iran thing over. Iran, yes. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, we need a new president. We need a Democrat president. We're just like the oil guys. There's no difference between us and the oil bear. And you know, so. I'm glad you find that

Rogan Apologizes to Theo Vaughn

humorous. Something happened. on the Joe Rogan show. And I saw this a week or so ago. And I was like, yeah, right on. Now, Theo Vaughn, you know Theo Vaughn, right? You know who he is? I know who he is, I don't watch his stuff. No, no, but you know Theo. And so Theo was on Joe's show. I don't know. And Joe was on Theo's show. Yeah, okay. No, Theo was on Joe's show. It must have been four or five weeks ago. And Theo Vaughn was

out of his gourd. He was like, gourd? Wow, there's a phrase I haven't heard for, oh, let me think. 66. It's the phrase that pays, baby. It's an old Jonathan Winter saying. That's how old it is. Well, the thousand-year-old man. No, no, that's Carl Reiner. I thought it was with Jonathan. Let's not talk about it. No, no. It was Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks was the thousand-year-old man. Okay. All right. Thanks. So he was nuts. He was spiraling. He was like... drill, you know, there's a

Yo! I was sitting there like, dude, you should come and work out with us. Come and hang out with us. I mean, Theo Vaughn was really going nutty. And Theo has a lovely guy. I'm sure he has all kinds of issues. Uh, don't we all? Like what? He's had addiction issues. Right now he's been trying Jesus, which we're all praying for Theo in that regard. But there was something else, and it is SSRIs. And Theo is,

I think he's even been vocal about it. that he takes, you know, whatever, Lexapro, whatever it is, whatever the brand du jour is, it's all the same stuff. And so Joe's on a show talking about. uh talking to some other guests and here's here's what he says yeah theo vaughn's going through the exact same thing and last time i was on the podcast he was explaining to me it freaks me out because Theo's had conversations before. like even publicly he had a netflix taping and it

didn't go well. It was like they actually... They shelved it. They never used it. There was all these stories from people that were there saying he bombed. I think he just had kind of a breakdown. crowd and there's a video of it we said you know the people were shaking hey we still love you thank you look i'm just I'm trying not to take my own life. That's what I'm trying to do right now. And like, you hear stuff like that and you just go like,

oh, Jesus Christ. I've known too many people that I didn't think were going to kill themselves and then did. And then he goes down these spirals where he starts. world events and freaking out. I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ, like, I gotta help this dude. And so I send him things about people getting off of them, and apparently there's some doctors that specialize in getting people off of them, but... Here's the thing about that chemical imbalance thing.

That's not real. They used to think that that was what these things do, that they treated a chemical imbalance. But then recently, the studies have shown that that is not what they do. They don't exactly know what they do. and they kind of numb you in some sort of a way that helps some people. So... I even texted Joe, like, thank you for saying that, this chemical imbalance lie that they throw on everybody, which is total horse crap. Say way to go. Excellent job. This is

a bad thing. People can't get off of him. Doctors are handing out like candy. And then Joe does something I don't think I've ever seen him do. He did an apology. But I don't think this was just an apology for Theo Vaughn. I think the pushback he got from his audience. was so severe. And Joe is... Joe really doesn't like controversy about himself. No, he really doesn't. Yeah. You know, he's always... He's always very cautious and I know him this way. He doesn't really want anyone

to be mad. A lot of people don't. A lot of people just don't. Right, just don't. Yeah. And if you listen carefully to this apology that now he said this was an apology for Theo. But I kind of had the feeling it was an apology for more. than just Theo, more for SSRIs and other things. I apologize to Theo. He knows I love him. And he said that. And we laughed and we joked around about it. And I apologize for the way I talked about this. But I felt like I need to explain to other

people too, to get. Just like what was going on in my mind. And it certainly wasn't like... covering for Israel and it certainly wasn't like trying to paint him out like he's damaged or treat him like a child. I just want him to be okay. And when you're dealing with someone, or when you have had experience dealing with someone where it winds up going very badly, And then you're just left with this feeling like, what could

I have done? You know, I didn't do a good job of it, you know, especially like the Marcus King thing. Like, that's terrible what I did. He goes on and on about this. I think the audience freaked out on him. I think, you know... Our audience, our producers go. Yeah, but here's what I did to get off of him. Yeah, they do. We don't have anybody pushing back on us. No, no, but I think, and that must be the size of the audience too, I think a lot of people freaked out because it's a harsh

reality. When someone is telling you the truth, he said, he told that what I've... believed to be a medical fact. They don't know how it works. They don't. And this chemical imbalance thing is a lie. It's a sales pitch. It's a rationale. And I think also some of the Israel people got mad at him. like, "Oh, you're covering for Israel by saying Theo's just nuts on drugs." Whatever. There's an element of that. That we do get.

Yeah, all the time. um It was just surprising. I'm like, wow, you know, the pressure must be really big. We don't, we don't, first of all, we don't really, we never really got any pushback on that. Only people who agree. It's a small group. We have this 10th-ish audience. Well, if that. It's a small group. I don't know. I really don't know. I don't think anybody knows exactly how big the audience is. Some say 10, 11, 12, 20 million, 100 million. You got $500 million, blah,

blah, blah, whatever. I think 10 sounds about right. I think it sounds about right. Talking about disasters. And to back up my prediction. From the last show or the show before, I don't remember. Okay, here we go. This brings us to a three by three. Oh, hold on one second. Now it's time for three by three. Yeah, baby. Experiment by JCB. Comparing stories from ABC's The big headlines from the big three news organizations, and will they say the same? Will one be different? What will the

CIA broadcasting systems bring us? John has all three. In fact, in this case, they're all pretty different, but... They're about the same. Let's start with ABC. Tonight, Jeff Bezos'

Blue Origin New Glenn Explosion

commercial space company, Blue Origin, is warning Florida residents not to touch any debris from this catastrophic explosion that incinerated one of its largest rockets during an unmanned engine test Thursday night. the enormous fireball lighting up the Cape Canaveral sky, producing a mushroom for dozens of miles. Frantic witnesses inundating first responders with 911 calls. There was a massive explosion at Blue Origin. A big mushroom cloud just went into the sky like an atomic bomb. There was a

huge fireball in the sky. There's still a raging fire going. daylight revealing much of the launch pad reduced to charred rubble. Blue Origin saying an anomaly took place during a static fire test of its 320-foot-tall New Glenn rocket when the rocket's engines are fired while the craft remains attached to the launch site. The explosion, a significant setback for Blue Origin and NASA. which is depending on reusable rockets from Blue Origin to send landers to the moon.

Blue Origin had emerged as really a key player in NASA's efforts to return to the moon, and so this is pretty devastating to that effect. Blue Origin says it invested more than a billion dollars into that launch site in a statement Jeff Bezos calling it a very rough... day but vowing to rebuild. Yes, this was your prediction from the last show, in fact, when we played the jacked up NASA guy saying, yeah, we're going to have dune buggies and all kinds of stuff that we had

before. Again, on the moon, it's going to be great. And we have the lunar economy, which apparently can't get off the launch pad. Not only that, but it took the launch pad with it. I was thinking about this. Of all the – if you look at historical footage, whenever they do a compilation of space travel before this new space travel race. There were maybe... But of course, the challenger was the big one. But maybe there were three or four explosions. It's always like, it's all great.

Everything's lifting off. Everything's going. Did we have a lot of mishaps back in the day? Well in the early days it was laughable. That's all there was. There used to be a program. We're talking about the 50s. Yeah. So in 1950, here's the history for you kids out there who haven't been around long enough. That's right. This is exclusive to your No Agenda podcast. In 57. We got a paw-paw Dvorak going to tell you about what happened back in the day. In 57, the Russians put

a satellite into space and it was. beeping away floating around Sputnik. Also known as Sputnik, yes. And so Sputnik's going around beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, just annoying the hell out of the United States because the Russians apparently are doing space shit. And they sent a dog in space, Latka. And they killed that dog. That dog died, man. The dog died in space. And you can still buy watches, I think, in Russia that have Latka on the dog, on the face of the

watch. I think Sir Gene has a couple of them. I have one. Oh, wow. I bought it during the Soviet era, and somebody said, when you buy stuff on the street, which is illegal. Be careful. You know, this guy sneaks up to me. He says, you want to watch? And he shows it to you. He looks left, looks right. He opens the case, and it's one of these Latka watches. I say, hell yeah. It's like 10 bucks or something. And so I give him the 10 bucks he hands me to watch and I look up

to thank him. Poof. Gone. Yeah, you think that's cool. Glenn Beck. I think there was two or three Sputniks they had. It wasn't just one. They had... At least that's the story Glenn Beck told me. I only remember the one. He has one. He has one in his museum. I saw it. He has a Sputnik, yeah. That guy's got way too much cash. I don't know how he got that. Okay, well, anyway, back to the story. Dog watch. So in 57, they sent up this button, Nick, and so they told everybody, all the kids, okay,

everybody's got to get into science. That's when science fairs started. Science! So everyone had to get into science and so they started launching rockets. Trying to get, you know, one that would would not blow up. And my favorite one was the and it was the Navy versus the Army. And the army had these old V2s from Germany and the navy had these rockets called the Vanguard. Oh yeah. And they kept trying to launch a satellite. Off of ships. And they would blow up every single time.

And it would be nightly news. Another Vanguard blows up. And so we got to see one rocket after another exploding because they couldn't get anything off the ground. It was embarrassing. And then somehow by 1969, they had a man on the moon. Unbelievable. And now 2026, we can't get off the launch. But it's seen, it's always seen as this is actually great. Congratulations, Blue Origin, because we've

learned a lot. This is what Elon always said. No, it was meant to deteriorate rapidly because now we know what we shouldn't be doing. Elon's smart enough to have him do it up in the sky and not wreck the whole launch pad. No, I think they had a launch pad blowout too. That one, that was some years ago. Yeah. Okay, let's go to CBS's version of the story. Oh, CBS, here we go. If any rocket launch is a controlled explosion, this moment was neither. Blue Origin's

New Glenn Rocket. parked on its launch pad, suddenly erupted into a mammoth fireball, seen... That is crazy. Vengeance. significant setback. the space company. This is a very critical Problem for NASA to deal with? We simply don't know the extent of the damage to the launch pad or what it might take to fix the rocket and get it flying again. New Glenn's only launch pad. including twisted metal

and a collapsed lightning tower. Repairs could take months. What's unclear, the city's on NASA's Artemis program to return to the Moon ahead of the Chinese. Blue Origin's developing lunar landers for NASA to deliver astronauts and cargo to a planned moon base near the lunar South Pole. Next year's Artemis III mission aims to practice docking the Orion capsule with a Blue Origin lander. And all the landers need

the new Glenn rocket to get to space. A setback like this obviously is going to push those plans back a bit. Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos posted about the explosion, It's too early to know the root cause. Very rough day, but we'll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said The agency

will assess near-term mission impacts. Tony, NASA has also hired SpaceX to help get America back to the moon, but its lunar lander is behind schedule, and after the most recent flight of its Starship rocket had problems, it's also grounded. Observations. We are missing the term glitch. I find that very annoying. Instead, we have brought back the term haywire. Ooh, good catch. What is the etymology of this term haywire? Ask the robot. Book of knowledge. What is

the etymology of the term haywire? My book of knowledge is... is on it let's find out where this comes from it's got to be old According to the book of knowledge, the term haywire originates from the baling wire used to bind hay bales in farming and logging operations. This cheap, malleable wire was notorious for tangling easily creating chaotic messes when handled carelessly. leading to the metaphorical meaning of something going awry or out of control by the

early 20th century. Thus, it has been written. So it's a hundred year old term. Haywire. That makes sense, actually. Explained by the robot. Well, Glitch is the one you're supposed to be using, people. I don't understand why they don't use Glitch. They're sick of listening to you complain about it. Let's go to the last report, which is NBC. The explosion was massive, filling the night sky with a brilliant orange. That's not good. Captured on doorbell cameras

and shaking homes. Wow, great Nat Pop. Oh, that's fantastic. That's not good. That's good. That's not good. It looks like there was an explosion. fueled by methane and liquid oxygen. No injuries. From the air, the company's only launch pad appears completely destroyed. Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos posting, Very rough day, but we will rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. The disaster comes just days

after NASA awarded Blue Origin. a nearly $200 million contract to launch components, and perhaps eventually astronauts to a lunar base. The great return is close at hand, and we will not slow down. But now a potential delay to NASA's ambitious launch schedule set to start this fall. And next year, with the Artemis III flight to test docking procedures. in Earth orbit. Former NASA chief, Charlie Bolden. Spaceflight

is hard no matter who's doing it. We know how to do it, but nature and physics and a lot of other things have a say in all this. Radiation. It was just last month that another Blue Origin rocket failure left a satellite in a wrong orbit. And now a bigger failure as the company... tries to compete with SpaceX and help send humans eventually onto the moon. Now, no one has mentioned the possibility of sabotage. There's a lot of money, a lot of contracts out there. Sabotage,

anyone? Well, it's like that time that SpaceX rockets the... You saw something headed toward it before it blew up on the... Launch paddock a few years back. Yeah. No, it seems suspicious. Yeah, well, but the sabotage... comes right at the same time that SpaceX is filing for their public offering. I'm just saying. Yeah, but the problem is, does this make the public offering more or less attractive? Well, in my mind, it's all unattractive. I mean, where

is- No, well, that's not the question. That's fine with you. But I'm just saying, does it, to investors in general- Would this explosion make the offering more or less attractive? Well, I'm not allowed to have an opinion, so my opinion doesn't matter. No, you can't say what you think. You have to tell me what... You're not answering the question. Okay. The answer to the question is much more attractive. I say less. My question, my follow-on question

though, which is in your camp. How come AI hasn't figured out all of the problems? Shouldn't the wonderful artificial intelligence have all the answers and have calculated the perfect exact things that they need so that this could not happen? Isn't that Bezos has AI? Elon has AI. I thought AI was smarter than anybody in the universe. In fact, they both have AI up the wazoo. Gavin, your take on the S1, and I think specifically Elon Web

Services. I think what's important about Elon Web Services does make me laugh. But $15 billion, that means the AI business right there is going to quadruple. Quadruple! It is already effectively quadrupled. I think what's important about that is there's a stat in it that for, I think the- This is Gavin Baker. And if you ask me who that is, I don't have the answer offhand. Okay, go. Their first data center was 122 days. The second one,

it took them 91 days. The third one. This is from the All In podcast, so it's not going to be negative. They build data centers dramatically faster than anyone else at a lower cost. And now that you have... A lower cost, but a lower cost. Cost. I'm gonna dump out of that. I watched a lot of the...

Reagan National Economic Forum — Bessent / Operation Economic Fury / Trump $250 Bill

Reagan National Economic Forum, which was about 10 hours. Did you see any of it? It was. I saw zero. It was. There were a couple of interesting speakers. Some things were interesting that were said. Okay. It was on, I think CNBC may have had some co-sponsoring with us, saw some CNBC hosts. um but it it was it was very very long and it was a true economic forum type thing And I have two clips from it

with Dan Armada. And this is about, this is exactly what I've been predicting, where all these big data centers. all this important stuff from the training, the models and everything, it's all starting to fizzle out. Now, the new term is inference. or some say inference, but I'm pretty sure it's... inference. I think inference is the correct pronunciation. There's a lot there I want to dig into. First, I want to get the private sector, the entrepreneurial piece

of this into the conversation too. Dan, you've co-founded a startup. You're the CEO of a startup called Armada. And I guess before I get your reaction to what we've just heard. far on stage. Just a little bit about Armada. Yeah, so Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge. We're building modular - Hyperscaler for the edge. - Yes. Wow. We can draw analogies to the late 90s from what is happening here. So now we've gone by the language or the bullcrap. Yes and yes. Yeah, so Armada

is the hyperscaler for the edge. We're building modular AI data centers that can be deployed anywhere in the world, which is important. If you look at a map of the world, only about 30% of the world has these big hyperscale data centers. We're building for the 70% so that the US can win this AI race that we're

in right now. So the edge, that's... inference the edge is oh but i need to have this this uh well he actually explains it here we're in the middle of this ai super cycle and what we're super ai super cycle we're in the middle i like that super cycle and what we're witnessing is that there's this uh shift that's going on it used to just be all about training these really high powered and that's still important.

We still need to lead in that area. But what we're now seeing is a lot of people asking, well, how do I actually deploy those? in as many places as possible to boost productivity, to improve my operations, to

improve decision-making. And that is about taking those models that have been trained on those hyperscale data centers and then running them on something like our modular data centers at the edge for inference and fine tuning those models to proprietary sensitive oftentimes data sets for national security, for energy. And we're seeing that play out globally where now people are like, okay, I've been playing with ChatGPT for a couple of years on my phone. What can I actually

do to improve my business or improve, you know. Zack thought I- I'm like, you know, I've been playing with this chat GPT on my phone. What can I do to have it improve my business? People are like, okay, I've been playing with ChatGPT for a couple years on my phone. What can I actually do to improve my business or improve? you know, national security. And I think that's going to continue to play out, which is one reason why. You're seeing it respond. One of the things

that... was very interesting over the last few weeks. You've seen the spot price for H100s and H200s, which are NVIDIA's chips that are more optimized for inference versus training. I love that there's a spot price. for this. It's actually starting to exceed and the GB300s, which are like the ones for training. What's the right word? Aquahire. of Gromit. Because they saw this shift that's coming to inference. And I think you're going to see that. -Aquahire. -Oh,

you know what an aquahire is. An aquahire is... That's what happened to drop.io back in the day. An aquahire is where you want the people who built the product, but you don't give a crap about... -Oh, so you buy the product and you steal the people. Okay. -Yeah, exactly. Now, I have some experience with this inference. -Aquahire. I wish someone would acquihire this show. Well, at least...

Right? Well... Yes, you, in fact, I think this is all leading into a couple of anecdotes, personal anecdotes that you have to offer. Yes, about working with AI, specifically clawed code. yeah and it's for a theory and the thing is this is for the simplest of simple ideas that you've developed. It should be seamless and effective. Yeah, it should be... No, what is it? Safe and effective. So. As I was playing around with the chat GPT for years, no, I... On your phone. On my phone.

I really wanted to see if this AI could help out with my production work. And I analyzed myself. I went, self, what do you spend the most time doing for the No Agenda show? Can you guess what it is? Well, I know what it is. It's yakking. Yeah.

Copy paste. The amount of copy and pasting that I do for show notes and clip titles and just – and I decided, okay, let me take the one that is – The one that is the easiest to mess up as a human because it's at the end of the show we're tired and we have to actually run through it together because i make mistakes you make we make mistakes it's the credits it's purely the credits I'm like, here's a great test. Today should be easy. Yes, my robot is very happy. It might get it right.

So I teach, now when you teach the robot to do something, so Claude Code is an agent. And Claude Code by itself is an idiot. The reason why Claude or any of these models have problems with how many R's in strawberry is because they're just guessing. They have no intelligence, no knowledge. What they can do is build a Python script that then says, oh, the word strawberry, hold on. And then it will look at the word strawberry. It'll programmatically see how many R's and then it'll

come back with the right answer. But it has to build a script for it. It doesn't actually know it itself. This is the basis of how this stuff works. And what's nice about it is you just tell it what you want it to do. So I said, robot, I want you to... Do the credits. Here's the spreadsheet that Jay sent me. It's an Excel file. Go in there. Find out. Find everybody who's donated between $200 and

$300. Put them into my. into my show notes document under associate executive producers and $300 or above, put that into the executive producers. Oh, that's got to be the easiest thing in the world for it to do. And I say, in addition, look at the notes. If there's a switcheroo, you have to change the name. Oh, you're making it complicated, but it should be effortless. The switcheroo part. Never had a problem. The where do the names

go? Every single time it does it differently. So first it'll put like two people in execs and then all the rest in associate execs. And then I go in, I say, no, you have a document. And it makes these little memory files. They're markdown files. You have a document. You've memorized this previously. Between 200 and 300 is the associate executive. Oh, yeah, you're right. Okay, I'll fix it. It fixes it. And then it says, I'm going to make a note of this so I don't do

that again. Next show. It does that right. But then it puts in the amounts. It puts in the entire notes. I said, no, it's just the name. You're right. I'm going to make a note of it. So then I'm like, robot, you keep doing this wrong. How can we fix this? Okay, I have an idea. You just use the word credits, all uppercase, and that will trigger my memory to go look at the memory docs. does it wrong the problem with ai or robots as i

like to call them There's no consistency. There is no. iterating you can't iterate you can't say You can do this on your own. Go into ChatGPT or whatever, say, draw a picture of a house with a cat in the yard and a dog. Okay, great. If you say, now make the sky blue. It'll remove the dog. You know, it does all kinds of other things. Yeah, it cascades on its own. Yes, and it's not reproducible. Use the same prompt twice in the same AI, it'll bring

back two different results every single time. It is for business purposes. When it worked, now. I'll be the first to say. It's actually still faster for me to yell at it, you know, and typing, I typing at it, say, no, you did that wrong and it will fix it. It's still faster than me going back and fixing it. But it's very annoying and I've given up on thinking I can never get it right. Here's the second thing. I've taught it how to make clips. Now, FF-

What? Yes, FFmpeg. is a well-known open source program. Now, if I say, here's a France 24 clip, here's the URL, clip it. Those are usually about a minute 30, minute 40. Perfect. It does it. It clips it. I've actually gotten pretty good at teaching it not to put the reporter tag at the end. So it does a transcript, and then it cuts based upon the transcript. It can do that. It cannot think for itself. It cannot pull a clip out based upon a full sentence that

someone is saying. It is it can't do it. It has no intelligence. It doesn't have ears. And it can't figure out what a good clip is, what a beat is with an intro, with an arc, with a payoff at the end, a hard cut. It cannot do it. Ergo, this crap is way overvalued. And I think it's unusable for business. That said. For me, myself, It's a little, it's on par with having an intern. As long as the intern hands me the stuff and I go

back and correct everything, it saves me 30 minutes. But I don't see where everyone's like, oh, it's just going to change business. We don't need people. Bullshit. It will improve existing people's... productivity But you've got to show me a lot better output than what this stuff is doing right now. And Claude is supposed to be the creme de la creme. Which brings me to "Bootz on the Ground". Which I think you were copied on from Brad.

we've been talking about real jobs young people should be looking at in the new economy that Trump and General Besant are building. And he said, hey, I heard you bring up HVAC again and the great wages, and you're not wrong. I've been a journeyman electrician for over 20 years, and the wages keep going up along with heavy demand. All trades are great and provide incredible life. However, pay attention. There's one trade almost nobody talks about that

is head and shoulders above all skilled trades. More money than anybody. Complete job protection. Do you remember this email? Yeah. The job is elevator mechanic. Highest pay by far, always in demand, no matter how the economy is doing. We have two elevator mechanics that show up at the Albany Mallard Club meetups. Oh really? Are they driving Bentleys?

No, but they're very proud of being elevator mechanics. Elevator unions are run like mafia families, though it can be difficult to get into, but that doesn't mean outsiders don't get into it. So there you go. This is your tip of the day from your No Agenda show. elevator mechanic. I mean, this would be, if we were doing a... The Graduate 2026 version instead of plastic we say sun elevators get into elevators people always need elevators elevators

is good So. Anyway. That is my AI experience. Maybe it'll get better and if it does I will certainly share the clipping stuff with you I've been doing it for five weeks. I'm using it. It sucks, but. it's still a little faster than me doing everything by myself. But for $200 a month of Anthropic token credits, I could probably hire an intern. Who would probably do a better job. We got some goofball stuff here I want to get out of the way. Okay. So there's this

woman. Duh! Oh, I can't believe you clipped this. Ha ha ha! Let's just say an attractive woman with a belly shirt. Can we just add that to it? She's not just a woman. She's a good looking gal. But it's beside the point. Her name's Elizabeth April. And she's a psychic. And she's on this podcast. Of course, this guy's lapping it up. These podcast hosts that do a lot of interviewing, they just go along with everything, it seems to me. Yeah. uh whatever it is they're doing

my material from 12 years ago Yeah. It's funny that you're bringing the clips. We've had some kind of... I feel like I'm in a new version of the movie. Was it big? Were they switch places? Yeah, well, we switched, I guess. So let's go with it. She's going to talk about, and I'm listening to this, I'm thinking it's reasonable what she's got to say about. People being cloned? Is that my cue to start the clip? Yeah, it was just... So many people, like Simon Cowell. Wait,

Simon Cowell? Simon Cowell. Have you seen the recent video? I have. So you think that's not him? No, I don't know. Can't say for sure. Wait, what does he look like? He's looking weird too now. No, he's looking weird. John Travolta. Yeah, man. Looks like John B. The singer? Exactly. I'm gonna show her John B. Did you see him? Yeah. So what is that about? Do you think that's like a Jim Carrey situation or? I'm not sure, but they're definitely replacing people left, right, and center.

And then I have a conspiracy theory. Okay. That no one else has. Okay. So you know what's up. Okay. My big theory about cloning. they popularized plastic surgery. cover up the differences in clones. Like Michael Jackson was the first major public clone and he was the first major quote-unquote celebrity who got all the plastic surgeries and changed his appearance and it really wasn't it was actually a clone. But then you have Ozempic and you have this

whole like Ozempic, GLP, whatever they're called drugs right? Whatever

they're called. Major weight loss. may change your appearance. drastically and then you have something called endrenochrome you guys know what that is of course for those of you who don't know what that is it's essentially a substance that comes from victims fear it's essentially blood and what happens is not humans drinking this reptilians part of the elite they drink endrenochrome to essentially reverse They've had access to adrenochrome pretty much since the dawning of humanity my favorite

part of this is that she says adrenochrome where the term is adrenochrome this woman is i don't know why she's on a podcast other than she can get she's cute I got a belly shirt on, I'm slumped in my chair, like, can I look at the skirt? This was horrific. Okay, I won't play the second half. No, no, no. Of course we'll play the second half. But yeah, I think it was horrific, but... um Sound is something screwy about it. Andrenochrome. It's an andrenochrome. It's an

andrenochrome. Let's play more. What's happened? No, because people think we're idiots. What's happened since 2020 is the trafficking rings all over the planet are getting shut down. Especially since the death of Queen Elizabeth. She was like the head reptilian. And then everyone vied for power. When I saw, because they have pictures flowing. flying by it's highly edited I remember meeting Queen Elizabeth She may have been a

reptile, but there was not much going on. I don't know how much command she had of the reptilian world. After she died, no one could figure out who was going to be in charge. What are you talking about? Prince, King Charles is in charge of the reptilians. We all know that. Everyone was fighting and slowly but surely all these pockets of like underground trafficked victims. So the supply of adrenochrome has diminished so much. These celebrities can't

get their hands on it anymore. It just came out too that Ozempic is shredding your bones. grinding like a cheese grater. Yeah! Jim Carrey is wholeheartedly He actually stood on business when it came to all of the superficial Hollywood bull. Like, this is stupid. Like, he makes fun of that stuff. The thing is, like, they either take people out who aren't complying, or they replace them with a clone. So, I always say this, like, if they

replace someone, Watch what they're filming in next. How come it's an international law put in place by the UN to where human cloning is banned? Why would you have to ban it? Why would you have to ban it? Cross the globe. It's international law. company is doing. -

The shadow government's already doing it. - Exactly. government it's like it doesn't exist but it's illegal you can't do it though here's another theory too a lot of people from congress are old trafficked victims like kids disappear all the time right then they put them through a program they emerge as some new person they run for office and they win how How come J.D. Vance changed his name four times? I forgot. I have all these different names. Who are you? Well, now I'm going to agree

with that. I'm going to say that I am suspicious that Tallarico may be one of those. That's completely possible. That guy looks put together. Like a Frankenstein. My goodness. Yeah, it's the Andrew Necro. This is the competition, the podcast competition we have. Oh, and we're losing, and we're losing, we're losing, we're losing, we're losing, we're losing. The reptilians. We should just, maybe Thursday we just do a show like that. And you know what? Less prep is

a lot easier to do. We'll just call up some buddies, have them come on the show. You know, you got to have your baseball hat. You need your baseball hat on backwards when you do this, John. Oh, yeah, definitely. You have to have it. Not completely backwards, kind of backwards and sideways. Well, we're on this kind of thing. You said there was enough. Sorry. Sorry. I was going to do something else. But okay, you need to continue this? Really? No, I don't have any more of

the cloning stuff. I do have something that backs up one of our other... things that we've noticed. Which is

Tucker for President / Gaza-Maynard / Sharia Crackdown

the idea of making Tucker Carlson the President of the United States. Ah, yes, okay. And Chink, Chink, your buddy Chink, Chunk, as you like to call him. Yeah, Chunk. Chunk Weeger. Yes, Chink. he's on board. They only have one guy who could win and I'm worried about it. And that's Tucker Carlson. If Tucker runs in the Republican

primary, he definitely wins that. primary you can quote me on it and then you could have Kevin laughing and you can rerun that tape it'll be great in fact back in 2016 I was on ABC's This Week with Stephanopoulos they asked the whole panel who's gonna win at that point they just on the Democratic National Convention and Hillary Clinton had a 10-point lead I was the only one on the panel to say Donald Trump was gonna

win and they all laughed out loud Populous win. The people chasing after the donors, whether it's Israel or Big Pharma or any of the other donors, nobody likes those people. Kamala Harris lost because she was bragging about how she had 90 corporate CEOs on her side. I got bad news for her. Nobody likes corporate CEOs. Sorry, Kevin. Sorry, me. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This makes no sense. Because... It's the exact same people like Chenko

are saying that. Massey was defeated by Jew Money. Not by the guy was I don't still even know the guy's name. Who is who is who is now the new senator from Kentucky? Do you know his name? He's not a senator, he's a congressman. Okay, I see I don't even know that. Yeah, obviously. What's his name? What's his name? You don't know his name. Garrison or something. He's got some very pedestrian name. He had no name recognition. No. But apparently, it makes no difference. difference now.

He's a Navy SEAL. I know that. Pick a lane, Cenk. The people chasing after the donors, whether it's Israel or Big Pharma or any of the other donors, nobody likes those people. Kamala Harris lost because she was bragging about how she had 90 corporate CEOs on her side. I got bad news for her. Nobody likes. corporate CEOs. Sorry, Kevin. Sorry, me. But the reality is that's what every poll shows. It is deeply, deeply unpopular. And these

days it's pretty merited. So if you've got someone in the right lane, which is democratic capitalism, I think they win. Yeah, okay. Well, we'll see if Tallarico wins. Texas. We'll see. We'll see. I don't think he can win in Texas. There's a big fight off. If the Texans are not going to vote in a vegan... Uh... A vegan. Period. Not to mention the fact that he's got... What? No, go ahead. Go ahead. Not to mention the fact that he's got screwball. religious beliefs. Very much so.

So I have two clips here of Paxton. And I think this is one of the reasons why he won. And it's not my favorite reason, but when you extrapolate what he's really saying, he's correct. Because there's a lot of fear. What is the number one fear of everybody in Texas? Everybody in Texas is worried about one thing and one thing only. Muslims. Because we are a Christian nation. We are a Christian state. Period. The end. I took on our foreign adversaries as well. Stopped China from

buying our land. Tripled border security. Security designated cartels as terrorists. and I'm now taking on one of our most growing and biggest threats, which is Sharia law and Islamification. You know, Sharia law is organized crime, period, and I will treat it as such. I also changed the law to stop these radical Muslim groups, like CARE. and Muslim Brotherhood from buying any property in Texas. Treating Sharia law as organized crime. Uh, can you please unpack that? Unpack

that! Yeah, so look, we've got to make sure that everyone understands this is not a religious liberties issue. This is not a First Amendment issue because if they're... faithfully adherent to their ideology, and I call it an ideology for a reason, in the Koran, they see us as the infidel that they can commit jihad against. This is an America First issue. This is a Texas First issue. This is a national security issue because they don't think we deserve the right to exist. as Americans or as

Christians. So he conflates a couple things here. I completely agree. Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization. In fact, that is the backbone of most terrorism we have witnessed in the past 50 years, probably even longer than that. started by the British MI6 back in the day. Council on America, Islamic Relations, also bad news. Bad dudes, bad people. Yeah, they keep referring to them constantly. NPR, everybody goes to them for quotes. Why? Okay, thank you for asking. Because liberals,

and that would mainly be Democrats, but liberals... They always want to find someone who's oppressed. So that's why gays for Palestine and that's why they're all wearing kiffy as at that every protest. Now they they're stupid because they haven't studied history because the socialists and the communists have always been used. by these types of radical Islamists, which is different from Muslims, Islamists. to gain political traction. And the first thing the Islamists do when they're in power

is they kill the socialists and the communists. It's historical. So, but Paxton... And a lot of Republicans are conflating this. And, you know, to say I don't think Paxson's ever looked at the Koran to say that we're the infidels. They got to kill us. You know, it's not like a it's not like a. a covenant like we have in the Bible. This was specific tribes. that were written in the Quran that had to be gotten rid of. You know, he's taking things... a little too far

in his interpretation. But you do. But ultimately, he is correct because this is what we've seen in Europe. We've seen liberal. groups Who's? Islamists and there go Muslims. to take over countries. And you get a small country like Holland, and they have a 1.5 birth rate reproduction rate, which is negative. You bring in a whole bunch of Muslims. And they're going at it like bunnies. And before you know it, they take over. And they took over

Brussels. And they've taken over all these different cities just by sheer numbers. I don't think we have to worry about that in Texas just yet. What's the percentage of Muslims in Texas total? of the population. I'd have to ask. Take a guess. I know what it is. I'd say it's probably 4%. Two. Two percent. Yeah. So we've got a ways to go. But it's being used by people like Paxton. Which, you know... Here's another one. If a bunch of... Indonesians came to live in your neighborhood.

Would you be freaking out or would you think, hey, maybe they got some good Indonesian food? The latter, for sure. I'd be very interested. If one of them could cook. There's no guarantee that somebody comes in from a foreign culture that they can actually cook. What country has more Muslims than any other country? in the world. Indonesia. Number two. But they're also Pakistan. Number three, India. Number

four, Bangladesh. It's a long way until you get down to Iraq, Iran, and Somalia and all these other places. And London. London's got more than anybody. So. So I just want to say that just be careful. Be careful with how Sharia. Sharia law. Sharia law. It is no different than the Talmudic law from the Jews, which a lot of people also hate. You know, got to wash your hands, don't shake hands with your left hand, whatever

it is. eat with your right hand, don't eat this kind of food, you know the Jews have don't eat shellfish, that's the main part of it. It's not like Sharia and the rest is arbitration which even smart lawyers like the constitutional lawyer agree with me, but it's become this catchphrase. You know, it's like, Sharia. But, Paxton is correct, we do need to stop the Islamist groups like

Muslim Brotherhood and CARE. And there is an entire political party in the United States, the Democrat Party, that thinks they're being smart by using them as the poor oppressed people, and they're all over the world, blah, blah, blah. Free Palestine. And it's going to get really interesting if people don't get smart about what's happening. Here's the second clip. You said there was another part other than treating Sharia law as a criminal enterprise. You're going to be

stripping away the power from these Muslim groups. How are you going to do that? Number one, we met his second degree felony. To enforce Sharia law, I will make sure that that is enforced to the fullest extent. I don't even understand what that means. How about you can't enforce any other law than U.S. law? But you can't have arbitration if you want. Number two, change the law to stop these no-go zones like you've seen in North Texas. Plano Islamic Center, Epic is one of them. They've

renamed it to the Meadow. They're going to keep renaming it. But what this law... What he's trying to do here is make you think that this thing is built. It's not built. There's a mosque. There's no community. There's no meadow. None of that is real. You've only seen renderings online. But he's using it. for his political gain, which is the part I don't like. What it does is it allows the AG to bring an action to deny public benefit. And what is that? Sewer, water, electricity,

roads, management districts. That makes sure that the meadow remains a meadow. But the third that I mentioned earlier, probably the most powerful tool, is stopping... enemy entities from owning any property in Texas that includes critical infrastructure. So we need to continue to add to that list. Right now,

CARE and Muslim Brotherhood are on that list. We need to keep adding because what it does is it prevents them from owning any property in Texas and it allows the AG, and I made sure that was in the law. to bring an action to force them to divest and sell their property. We cannot allow them to own one square inch in our great state. Look, I'm never retreating from Washington, D.C., because I'm never going to Washington, D.C. I have always known that the fight is right

here in the great state of Texas. I was born here. And I'll be buried here. This is it. No, so. And be buried there? And be buried there, yeah. So. Yeah. Yes, our problems... worldwide, but certainly in the United States, is Muslim Brotherhood is a huge problem. CARE should be their 501c. Three status should be taken away. They should be dealt with. They're no good. They're probably

doing criminal things. And there may be others. But let's just be careful when we just say Muslims, because it is the Indonesians, it is the Pakistanis, it is the Indians, it is the Bangladeshis. And the British now, I guess. Okay. Yeah. So I just wanted to get that

Ebola Rampage — McCain WFP / Tedros Congo

off my chest. Ebola in Brazil. Oh man, I had new Ebola jingles. Hold on a second. Oh, brother. eeeeebola no no no brand new ones i'll find them while i play the clip health officials say they've identified a suspected ebola case in brazil if confirmed it would be the first case outside africa since the latest outbreak began in the democratic republic of congo rory gallimore reports The Brazilian authorities say this suspect The man who was infected

with Ebola is a man in his 30s. He has recently returned from a trip to the DRC and is now being kept in isolation at a specialist hospital in Sao Paulo state. Tests are being carried out to confirm the exact nature of his illness, but this could mark an escalation in this outbreak. Until now, the vast majority of infections have been registered in the east of the DRC, with a handful of people in the south of the DRC. across the border in Uganda. There have been

more than 240 deaths so far. The medical charity, NSF, has described the situation as deeply alarming, but health workers have successfully contained many Ebola outbreaks in the past. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, I have. I did find them. You lost your jingles? No, I found them. I found them. Hold on a second. I'm bringing it to you right now. These are great. I was so happy with them. Here we go. Ebola. Ebola, it has been with us two times in... Is the third. time about it kidding

hello You're sharp. I am. We did see that Tedros who talks about this. He went to the Congo. Yeah, I thought that took a lot of nerve. And he was all dressed up in his World Health Organization camos. You know, they all have uniforms now. And here he is. The head of the World Health Organization visited eastern Congo's... Bunia on Saturday. Looking forward to stop this Ebola with the community and under the leadership of the government.

More logistics support, more financial support, but while focusing on the emergency, we should use it as an opportunity to build the health system. Because in every crisis, And that's how we should manage this. As no good. Hold on, I'm going to get the second part of the report here. Terrible. Bunia, a city in the Aituri province, is at the heart of the Ebola outbreak in the African country. Experts warn the virus is spreading faster than the

response. Despite better organized health facilities and new aid arrivals, latest official figures show more than 1,000 suspected cases and more than 200 suspected deaths. Neighboring Uganda has confirmed nine cases and one death. Is John McCain's ex-wife, is her name Cindy? Yeah? Cindy McCain. Yeah, well, she's a part of the problem. World Food Program Executive Director Cindy McCain is stepping down from her post Monday. During her three years at the helm of the UN agency, there have

been two famines. And when we spoke with her late last week from Rome, she told us we're looking potentially at several more. among many other challenges. By the way, if you're the head of the World Food Program, you get an apartment in Rome? That's the gig right there. Why not? What's Rome got to do with the price of bread? That's where your headquarters are. You gotta be in Rome. Are you kidding? It's like being in Paris.

It's great. Emergency response to Ebola in the Congo. That's a country that's already struggling, as I understand it, with about 27 million food insecure people. I know the US State Department is pledging some help here, but what are you hearing about the situation? on the ground for emergency responders like yours. Yes. It's not good. Not good? It's not good. people in a mass way. Mass! And there's really no way to know right now how many people have been affected by this. We know that it's a

rampage now with it. Rampage! So what we need to do is not only be able to... to get in. We run logistics. We bring in supplies. We bring in people. And we do much more than that as well just in the region. But this is going to take a real world effort. This is very deadly. Very, very deadly. Hey, maybe that's why Peter Thiel has moved to Argentina. Even following that story? Oh, tell me about it. Oh, so apparently he bought a house in Argentina and

he's put his kids in school there in Argentina. And everyone's saying, well, what's going to happen in America if he's moving to Argentina? But didn't he also have one of those guys who bought a place in New Zealand? Yeah, but he put his... kids in school. That's the big one. He put his kids in school. Maybe he just doesn't want to live in New York. He has kids? He's gay. Yeah, but you can have kids. Well, I never heard that he has kids. Well, that's interesting.

I never heard that he was married to a guy or a girl or anybody in between. Hmm. Well, now you make an interesting point. I don't think I've ever heard that either. A book of knowledge. Does Peter Thiel have kids and is he married? Here we go. Oh, Peter Thiel is what the book of knowledge understood. Let's see if he figures that one out. According to the Book of Knowledge, Peter Thiel is married to Matt Danzison, and they have two daughters born through surrogacy. Oh, there

you go. DOS It has been written. What do you know? I guess I didn't know that. He keeps it to himself. On the down low. He keeps it on the down low. The down low. of green. Gone from- Well, the last thing you want is to be a homeowner. in New York City. Here's the latest from the

Mamdani Fix the City + Jill Biden Cognitive Decline Denial

socialist mayor, Mamdani. Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action. to remove negligent owners and property managers. Oh no. Get him. We will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Sewers that include community land trusts, non-profits. the tenants themselves. Remove you. That'll be. fun to watch. The court case will be fun to watch. It's not going to get

anywhere with that bullcrap. Well. So what was interesting is the response to... the Jill Biden book and her interview. And I think... I think I had, let me just, I'll play. I thought he was having a stroke. Yeah, this is exactly. Let me play that clip. This is the one that everyone's all up in arms about. When she arrived at the first presidential debate of 2024, she saw that President Biden wasn't feeling well. But then... Joe always, even if he was off a little bit, he'd

always rally. And I thought, okay, so he'll get in there in that debate and he'll be fine. He's going to rally. But he got in there, he got into the debate, and he didn't. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary. This was great. I love this package because that wasn't in the clip that everyone was posting on X. They actually put in... the pieces, and this was from CBS this morning, they put in the pieces of the debate. And when you hear it,

it's just like, wow. It really was really, really, really bad. The debate and he didn't. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Hmm. What? *whining* We finally beat Medicare. You remember how bad that was? I remember the whole thing. It was hilarious. I was horrified, I was frightened. Because I had never...

ever. seeing Joe like that before. Or since. Yeah, right. Or since. Yes. Or since. Never seen more of that. Never. Never. Why did you have to? I don't know what happened. I mean, as I watched it, I thought, oh my God, he's having a stroke. Scared me to death. And then he never seemed to... Find himself. Find himself, yeah, after that. But then, I have to tell you, as we were walking out, he said, I really, and I'm not going to use the words because it's

morning TV. But I really sort of messed up. Didn't I? So. Remember when we were talking about this and how that went down and how we were pretty sure that this whole thing was sabotaged? that you know they didn't give him his meds or a shot or whatever they typically yeah you know it's a shot that yeah he's got some bottles zapped up um and then when jill biden went to vote. She was wearing a red dress. And I think we kind of floated the idea

like, oh, maybe she switched sides. Maybe she's doing this to help Trump. You know, there was a lot of weirdness about that whole period because that was when, you know, it was obvious Trump was going to win and they did the switcheroo. So now this book comes out. And this book is... The timing is interesting. Why now? Why right now? Is he, you know, why does her, Jill Biden has a book and she's writing about all this stuff and it's kind of on the cusp of

the midterms. And it has thrown the Democrats for A loop. And the example I have is the Pod Save America podcast. And these are – aren't there two of those guys, the former speechwriters for Obama? Yep, two of the speechwriters for Obama. And they're kind of insider elites for the Democrat Party. They like to present. themselves as such. So they are so mad, they do what all Democrats do when they're mad. They start cussing like crazy. So you're forewarned. Hold on a second, just to back

you up on this a little bit. It would be then, it would be interesting that she has appeared on CBS. But not the other networks. Good point. Good point. Well, these guys, the insider elites to the Democrat Party, are mad and cussing in sues. I don't think they appreciated being fucking lied to, who didn't just lie about the debate performance, but gaslit everyone and told us we were all overreacting, bedwetters, that their polls were fine, that

the fucking debate was fine. And now Joe Biden's like, oh, yeah, we were lying the whole time. And they went after us personally. Yes. I went from feeling kind of bad about the whole situation to being like, oh, OK, fuck you then. The people who are saying, why don't you let it go? Why are you talking about this? I didn't write a book and then whine about how Joe Biden was talking over the good parts here. I'm the whole time they went after us personally. Yes.

I went from feeling kind of bad about the whole. situation to be like, oh, okay, fuck you then. The people who are saying, why don't you let it go? Why are you talking about this? I didn't make Joe Biden write a book and then whine about how Joe Biden was mistreated by our podcast, Nancy Pelosi, the party,

right? Who was mistreated? The American people. There was never a second of remorse or an apology for their utterly disastrous... disastrous decision and people don't trust the democratic party and it's not going to bite us in the ass in the midterms but it will bite us in the ass in 2028 i promise no there you go there they go this it's turmoil i tell you turmoil i can't think i can't think i can't think that that's not something that was planned i kind of liked it

okay There's something going on there. Well, I'm not gonna die lying. I'm liking that thesis. We should keep an eye on it. I want to go back to the Reagan National Economic Forum. uh i got a general besant did a whole he did a whole keynote which is I'm not gonna play it, but... The clips will be in the show notes. People can listen to it. It was quite good. He started with Reagan and how America does one thing right. When we mess up, we admit it and we move on. America was asleep. That'll be

the day. But he sat down with a Kudlow. And I have a couple clips. Oh, Kudlow. Who cares about Kudlow? Don't get panties in a bunch about Kudlow. I'm telling you. He's on Fox, right? Is he on Fox? Yeah, he's on Fox. Yeah, he's got a show on Fox that's on Fox Business. Let's get that right. Yes, yes. And he never talks about business. Why would you? And the two things that I'll pull out of this. Um... General Besant mentioned something here. And I was like,

huh, okay, hold on a second. We heard this briefly on episode 1872. And it was the $250. Bill. Do you remember this? Yeah, it was in the newsletter. Yeah, right. So you remember it because it was – you don't send me the newsletter anymore for review. Why is that? Because we have two guys copy editing it. But then, but see, then I don't know that the, what's in the newsletter because the newsletter goes. to my enormous newsletters bin because it has the word newsletter and unsubscribe

in it. And I forget to parse through my email. And I feel bad that I haven't seen the newsletter. Could you just send me... We can send you the test. Could you please? Not the test. Just send me... But I want it from you. No, the test is the... No, the test... also goes to my newsletter bin it goes well that's all we can do now that gives the the workflow has changed I'm just telling you. Okay. Jeez, you got all these little gotchas in your... Oh, you can't do this, you can't do that. I

send you an email, I get a... Kind of a response of two weeks later typically. I saw that video, that guy's an idiot. Okay, what did you... Oh, that video I sent you two weeks ago. Yes, you sent me videos to watch. I'm a busy guy. I'm producing my part of the show. You're busy. All you talked about at the beginning of the show... watching TV. $250 bill. What is your take? What did you say in

the newsletter about the $250 bill? Nothing important, I just said that Trump wants to do one and no one's gonna do this. It's not gonna happen. So the $250 bill First of all, I called our bank. And I said, bank manager, his name is also Adam. Hey, Adam. If this thing comes out... I want one. Reserve one for me. I got to have one of these. So Besson is asked about this, and an interesting term came up. So you were mentioning in your talk, we are

here. at this conference celebrating 250th birthday of America and looking ahead for the next couple of hundred years, I can't help but ask you, are we really going to have a $250 bill with Donald Trump's picture on it? Well, the whole world is waiting. So... For the 150th, there was a Calvin Coolidge coin. Oh, God, I love that. With his image on it. We are going to have the image. of president trump on a coin and there is a proposed legislation in the house to put

president trump on the $250 bill. As Treasury Secretary, I am only mandated to do two things with the design of the currency. At present, it has to be someone who is not living. And it must say, in God we trust. I can do whatever else I want. And I I think that if you were the president, just like Calvin Coolidge was for the 150th, if you're the president for the 250th, President Trump should be on there. And for any of you who want to geek out

in monetary theory, there's something called seniorage. So we print treasury. prints currency, the Fed distributes it, and we have about $2.5, $2.6 trillion outstanding, and that's a free loan. So we put currency out there, and we don't have to pay any interest on it. So with seniorage, I think that you get the $250 bill, I think a lot of people are just going to put those away and hold them. I'm sure it's a good free one. So I really like this seniorage. If he made enough

of them. It's an interest-free loan which they can write treasury bonds against and get interest on. Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah, it's an interesting idea. He's not going to get his picture on the bill. It has to be approved by Congress. Well, there's a bill in Congress to do this. And you think guys like Thomas Massey and all these other pissed off Republicans are going to vote for it? No. You think a Democrat's gonna vote for it? No. So, and they got, what, leeway of

about five votes? No, they're not gonna get it through. Well, you... miss the other possibility. You're dead. Yeah. Not living. So he needs to be unalived and then we got our money. It's a lot of money. So this isn't happening. All right. I might have to go to Polymarket on this one. I think it will happen. I think Besant will somehow make this happen. Mmm. Besant, he's the general, man. He's got good, he wants to do it, but it's not going to happen. He's got juice.

It's just like the moon shot. He's got juice, man. He's got juice, I'm telling you. He can do it. I like the idea though. The whole idea of... Yeah, it's a cute idea. And we need something other than the hundred. We used to have $500 bills. Let's bring those back into play. No, no one's going to... You can't spend that. We can barely even spend a hundy. Hundo. It's a hundy. Rig D's always called it a Hun-D, not a Hun-Do. So we have a new obesity drug. Oh goodness. We do? Eli Lilly. Oh yeah, is

this a pill? I'll bet it's a pill. The next generation of obesity medication is getting closer to reality. Eli Lilly is studying a new drug. Test results show it's more powerful, even more powerful. than the obesity shots and pills already on the market. NPR Pharmaceuticals correspondent Sydney Lepkin is here to tell us about it. Good morning. Good morning. I'm so glad you're the one who's going to pronounce the name of this new drug. What is it?

The new drug is called Redatrutide. So it's a weekly injection, just like Wegovy and Zepbound, but it's a little different. We'll go via ZetBound target the GLP-1 hormone. This new drug works on three hormones, GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon, and that makes it more powerful. When you say more powerful, you've got to sell me because I have seen the results in human beings of the existing drugs. How

powerful is it? Yeah, so Eli Lilly, the company that makes Reddit True Tide says... that in the clinical trial, people taking it for 80 weeks lost an average of more than 70 pounds. Woo! For comparison, patients taking the placebo over the same period, they lost five pounds. Those were the latest findings from its phase three clinical study. Dr. Carolyn Francavilla, who is the Vice President of the Obesity Medicine. what she thought. any weekly injection. Wow. Wow.

NPR bringing the shills in. You think? You know, I've been reading studies about GLP-1. you And what it really does. is it takes away your joy. Oh yeah, that's an interesting little... Tidbit, that seems to be documented quite well. You don't want to do anything. You're just a dud. Well, in that regard, it takes away your joy from eating food, from drinking wine, from smoking cigarettes, from snorting Coke, but it just takes away your joy. I've

heard sex too. Yes. I don't really want to have sex, you know, and all the other stuff about, you know, But you look so good. I don't care. However, in that regard, it's a gateway drug to SSRIs because your joy is gone. You're going to be depressed. Boom. Lexapro. Interesting idea. Now, the number three in today's thesis count. Gotta write them down. - I'm not writing nothing down. - I'm not writing nothing down. - I'm not

writing nothing down. drug good enough that people, assuming it's approved by the FDA, will want to switch to it? You know, it won't be for everyone. In fact, Frank Avila said it may be too powerful for some people. Having options is important. And now we have Zetbound, Wagovi, the Wagovi pill, Foundeo. Here's Frank Avila again. We're really going to have to think about, you know, moving forward,

which medication makes sense for which patients. But I mean, if you would have told me this a decade ago, I would have thought it was a lie. It's amazing. The obesity drugs already in the market are expensive and a lot of insurance plans don't Thank you. people still can't afford them. How expensive is a new drug likely to be? You know, we don't know yet. It's still early days for Red Atrutide. The company has published these study results yet in a peer-reviewed journal. Ritatrutide is not

yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Eli Lilly says it's planning to submit it for approval by the end of the year, and then it could be a while before the FDA does approve it. That said, Dr. Frankavilla heard about people supposedly buying a knockoff version of this drug off the internet. She says, Don't do that. You don't know what you're getting and it could be dangerous. Oh, you could make it at home. Oh, well,

that's good to know. I want to lead into a boots on the ground that we got, but it comes first with a pre preceded by a few clips. Regarding the price of oil, which no sooner had I said watch it come down then it came down and as we've been discussing if we take a look at all prices you can see down today moves off more than one percent Both for Brian. after the US and Iranian negotiators apparently reaching an agreement to extend the ceasefire on the month. Big losses there to the tune of 16

to nearly 19% for both WTI and Brent crude. Again, oil markets seem to be looking past the wall. They seem to be optimistic. that a deal would come through so we see those big double digit losses. in the oil moves. I like how it's called losses when everyone else is cheering. Yay! It's like 87 bucks now, the WTI. 87.76. And Brent is what, 91? 7.76. 250th anniversary! So the, uh... the CEO of Chevron, who previously in the week He'll be saying, oh, it's going to be

$200. We're getting at the bottom. We're scraping the bottom of the barrel. It's no good. He's on Bloomberg. A little different story. Let's talk about the reason for this conversation in central banks right now, at least one of them. Crude. On track, at least for now, for its steepest monthly decline since 2020. Optimism building for a resumption of traffic. through the Strait of Hormuz. As energy producers are highlighting the risk of an extended closure, Chevron's been

warning, quote, we will start to see physical shortages. The CEO, Mike Wirth, I'm very pleased to say, joins us in the studio. Mike, it's good to see you. Good to see you, John. Welcome back to the program, sir. I get this question a lot. You're the expert. Help me answer it. Why is crude at 100 at 90? and not close to the 200, given this straight's been shut for three months. You know, it's a little hard

to explain. We really are seeing... Because we just jacked the price up on you for no reason, that's why. Markets tighten, inventories draw. demand for products around the world is still very strong. I think there's this And we're experiencing it again the last few days that the end is near, the conflict is nearly resolved and flow through the Strait will resume very quickly. And that has kept the back end of the curve lower than it might

otherwise have been. I think the psychology of the market has been this is closer to rather than the beginning. Not just that, though. There's some other things at play that your No Agenda show has mentioned. How far are we away from having... connect some of these countries to the mainland and their production without having to traverse the

strait at all. Well, there's a couple that exist now that you've talked about in Saudi and the sanctioned which is about 50% complete, to get more of their production over to Fujairah and outside of the Strait. So I think you'll see more of that, Lisa. The one opportunity there is, countries like Iraq and Kuwait that are deeper

up in the Gulf. access to those pipelines. the route could be through the north and ultimately then into the Mediterranean, maybe through Turkey, where we see a pipeline comes out of the Caspian Sea over into the Mediterranean in Turkey. flows to avoid the straight and horn moves. And that's underway now. And I think you'll see that in the years that follow. There's your turkey, John. That's why turkey was weaseling in on the deal. Yep. Hey, boys, we got a pipeline over here. Come on, bring it

over here. This is going to be fine. Now, the problem is July 4th. It's gonna be a little tricky. If the president somehow, I don't think he can do it, but if Congress decides to remove the federal tax, which is 18 cents. That may make a difference. We got boots on the ground from Sam. And Sam runs a gas station, an independent gas station in King County, Washington. And he does about a million gallons a year. thousand customers a day he's an unbranded And it was

nice. It was a nice note. I put the whole note in the show. It was a good note. It had a lot of information in it. Yeah. Now, he's in Washington State. So he says, you know, we got hidden fees, 78 cents per gallon at the pump, 52 cents per gallon refinery carbon credits. which is doubled as operating costs. He says there's absolutely no difference between brand gasolina and unbranded gasolina. It's the exact same stuff, comes to the same pipeline, the same mix. Everything is all

the same. The main thing he wants everybody to know is that he's on two-week contracts. So. His gasolina will not go up or down immediately. It takes about two weeks because he just doesn't have the purchasing power that the big brands have. So Trump has got to do something very, very quickly in order to get a significant drop by July 4th. It's possible, I guess. And you're- And the other thing he wants everybody to know is please, please, please, please, please go to your unbranded gasolina

station and pay in cash. I like the sound of it. Do you mind? No, it sounds like code or something. You're trying to make a point about something, or you're speaking... Pigeon Spanish. I'm not sure what you were

Sir Alex Gas BOTG + Cuba Rubio Lubio + Credit Card / Hassett Pushback

doing there. Well, I guess if you say gas is so confusing because gas could be natural gas, liquid natural. I like gasoline. So you want me to say gasoline will make you feel better? Gasoline? Well, it's gasoline, not gasolina. But we also call The Secretary of State, Lubio. Well, that's his name in China. One of our producers sent me a note. He said, I heard some guys at the coffee shop, and he literally called Rubio Lubio. And I was going to go over and give him

an in the morning, but I chickened out. I'm like, you would have been guaranteed. Oh yeah, absolutely. No one else calls Rubio Lubio, but our people. Yep. Anyway, back to Sam. He says, please. Pay in cash. It's so much better for the... Well, debit cards, same thing. Is there no processing fee for the gas station on a debit card? Typically in California there's not because they have the debit card prices that is the same as the cash price. I think in... I don't know if... I'd

have to look. Um... Hmm, that's a good point. Well, Sam will have to send a follow-up. but cash or debit card if possible. Although I've, I've, I've. paid with debit cards. The thing with debit cards... is it gets declined half the time and the other you know five out of ten times you use it your number gets jacked and you get cut you have to get a new card debit cards are dangerous I have used a debit card for the last 25 years and I've had

none of these issues. It never gets declined. Tina always gets popped. Always. Yeah. Her credit cards, too. It's amazing. Well, it's her then. That's what I keep telling her. She won't believe me. Won't believe me. Anyway, so... It's already gone down. I think gasoline... Went down by eight or 10 cents I saw here in Texas. It's already down. Well, you're in California. You got special rules for everything. But I, you know... We'll see. It's going to

be tight. It's going to be real tight. It's got to do something quick in order to get it down substantially. You know, it was Newt Gingrich, I think. Do I have that clip still? Kingrich. Gingrich. Maybe a Don Gingrich was saying the other day, if Trump. can get. gasoline In this... Yeah... Screw that. I thought I had this clip. If Trump can get gasoline down to about. three and a half dollars, which I don't think is possible. he says the Republicans will win the midterms. That's

new Gingrich. That's what he says. There's a lot going on. There's a lot going on. There's a lot of change in electoral maps. There's stuff going on. They may pull it off. I don't know. They're not pulling off nothing. Okay. You want to put a bet on it? You want to put a bet on it? Okay, so what would the bet be? For $1, of course. No, well, okay, I can do a dollar bet, but what would the bet be for? I mean, what would be the structure of the bet? Okay, Republicans keep the House

and the Senate. Then you're going to put a dollar on that? Well, I can do a buck fifty. *laughs* I'm a podcaster, man. Let's listen to a little NPR's plug for one of their shows. AI gods. You'll like this one. Millions of people are already turning to AI for spiritual guidance, asking it moral questions, seeking comfort, even chatting with AI versions of their gods. Yeah. Is this a full show? Of their gods? How many people have gods? Oh, the, uh... Hindus? I think Hindus have gods,

yeah. They have multiple gods. um Is this for a show or an episode? It must be for an episode. No, it's for a podcast. For one episode of a podcast. Yeah, I think. Well, they have that whole AI thing they're doing. Yeah, well, this comes on the heels of the Pope's encyclical. Well, the Pope has some negative things to say about AI. Yeah. You know, I listen to it. He doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm sorry. He's just, you know, like, well, it's horrible. Yeah.

I... Completely agree that I've always said the chat bots. no matter what you're asking it for, spiritual advice, for... What would you be asking spiritual advice for from a computer? Hello? There is a large amount of people who do not want to speak to their pastor about certain things who are turning to AI. chatbots, particularly glue.com, G-L-O-O. Never heard of it. Oh, they're pretty big. Glue, G-L-O-O

dot, or maybe dot A-I. which is a specific Christian faith-based AI, and they are pouring their hearts out to these chattels. And I think it's a very bad idea. But people don't want to speak to a human being about things anymore. I mean, come on, you can't say that this is not happening, that people aren't talking to this chat box. It's obviously happening or they wouldn't do a whole podcast about it. I got another plug from an NPR show for something I want to ask you

about. Okay. ID tech. ID Tech. All right, here we go. This message comes from ID Tech, the original tech camp. Experience Camp Crunch Labs IRL, BattleBots, and more, held at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and San Francisco State. Hold on, I've got to listen to that again. Hold on, hold on. This message comes from ID Tech. The original tech camp. Experience Camp Crunch Lives IRL, BattleBots, and more. Held at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and San Francisco State. Yeah, it's

a summer camp. ID Tech. It says it's the original tech camp. Since when? Well, when's the last time you went to camp? So this thing's all over the country. I looked it up. ID tech, yeah. It's huge. It's monstrous. It's done by some couple. That sounds pretty cool. What do you do there at ID Tech? I don't know. I have no idea. You learn how to do a battle bot. Bottle, did it say BattleBot or BottleBot? it must be battle you know the robots that fight yeah that show has gotten boring I look at it,

I'm like, eh. Okay, I got another one for you. This is from KQED. Gender expansive cuts. Nonprofit serving girls. Which is kind of funny. Just by itself. Nonprofits serving girls and gender-expansive youth in the Bay Area and L.A. lost $113 million in funding last year under the Trump administration. That's according to a new report from the nonprofit Alliance for Girls, which calls the loss an existential crisis. Chantal Hildebrand is the organization's executive director. So either they've

shrunk. and are no longer able to serve as many young people as they were before or they've been cancelled in their entirety because there's just no more funding for it. What? That means that it's also less of an investment in the actual young people. as well as not having services in some of our communities that are the most vulnerable. Like what? She says non-profits need more public support in the form of volunteers and donations. The money

supply from the government got cut off. That's what it sounds like to me. Yeah, but what is it? It goes to gender expansive. What does that even mean? Well, it's on the girls. It's for girls. But what money are we talking about? I know kids. Nobody's got... There's no money going into their pocket. They haven't got any special places to do anything. What are they talking about? This is bull crap. I don't know. Did you look it up? This is some sort of creation. Did you

look it up? There's nothing to look up. I can't figure it out. Oh, they cut $110 million away from... What? I don't know. Well, you seem very upset by it. I'm very upset about this. This is constant waste of money. There's a lot of money being wasted, definitely. And what's gender expansive? I don't know. I would expect you brought the clip. You would have looked it up. I looked up. I couldn't figure it out. Well, then I don't have the answer what gender. Okay, let's go

to another annoying clip. I can get mad about it. What is he just? This John's get mad. I'm in a bad mood. Why? Climate. Why? Climate. Why? Why are you in a bad mood? Because climate... Because the donations are just terrible today. It's embarrassing. In a controversial move, state regulators have approved major changes to a key state climate program. California's air resources... board voted yesterday to create a four billion dollar fund for big leaders to invest

in decarbonization projects. But climate, transit, and affordable housing advocates worry it might mean significantly less money for their programs. Judson True is with the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency. Transit, including Muni, is crucial to achieving our climate protection goals and ensuring affordability, and this vote is a setback for both of those causes. The decision comes months after industries warned that compliance with current rules would drive them

out of the state. and increase energy prices. Okay. I don't know. You're just playing stuff that makes you mad. Yeah, I know. I got a bunch of it, too. How about this one? No, no, no, no, no. I've got to stop you. I have to stop you from hurting yourself. Your blood pressure's up. I want to ask you a question after I played this. This is Pratt. Pratt with all the cool commercials. He's, I think it says Tom Lamas, Namath, Lamath. Governor Gavin Newsom just endorsed

Newsom-Bass LA Mayor + ICE Newark Delaney Hall + Bondi Epstein

Karen Bass today saying, quote, the work Karen Bass is doing in LA is making our entire state stronger. What a joke. What? It's a joke that Karen Bass is doing good work. Let's finish the quote. Governor Gavin Newsom just endorsed Karen Bass today, saying, quote, The work Karen Bass is doing in L.A. is making our entire state stronger with an 18% decline in homelessness, while it grew nationally, historic drops in violent crime, boosting film production in

L.A., and protecting our communities against ICE. She has my full support. for re-election. Do you think that endorsement is going to help Karen Bass? I think that endorsement, these two are co-conspirators. They're criminal partners in the negligence that led to 7,000 houses burning down. You think Governor Gavin Newsom's a criminal? In my opinion, it's criminal negligence when you fail your taxpayers and they burn alive. Because of choices you made with your state park that you're responsible

from. Same with Mayor Karen Bass. Again, it's my opinion. I believe if you let people burn alive because of your negligence, that becomes criminal negligence. Now, first of all. Pratt is very smart here because llamas. tries to nail him on the, do you think he's a criminal? Are you going to say he's a criminal right now? And Pratt goes, now, in my opinion, you are criminally negligent. So he's very smart. No, Pratt's sharp. I, however, do not think he's going to win. Okay. He's not. They're

going to cheat. They're going to steal. Whatever it is, he will not win. I just don't see California is too rotten for him to win. I have the opposite opinion because I've heard this before. Okay. My opinion is that they can't afford. to rig the election against him because he's got too much momentum. And it's going to become obvious that the state is full of... and it would cause a backlash. So they can't take a chance. It's just a minor office. It's the mayor of L.A.

who cares. And Karen Bass isn't endearing herself. to anybody. She's a communist for all practical purposes. So they're going to let him win. Hmm. Well, if they let him win, he will. probably fail spectacularly. You've got to think the whole city council, the whole system is completely rotten and corrupt to the core. How long is the... What is the tenure for a Los Angeles mayor? How many years is that? I don't know, ask the robot. I

think it's four years. the robot book of knowledge how many years does the mayor of los angeles serve I'm glad we have the robot today. It's getting a lot of good use out of the robot. Okay. According to the book of knowledge... The mayor of Los Angeles serves a four-year term with a limited two consecutive terms. Okay, four years. Thus... It has been written. four years. It's going to be very hard for him to, if he wins, very hard to get anything done. But I don't

know. They are insane people. They're crazy. Well, I have to agree with that. The second thing, which is another reason they'll let him win, because he can't do that much damage. Or he can't damage, he can't fix the damage that easily with the city council being a bunch of boneheads. This happens in San Francisco. The city council is completely out of control. Yeah, what... Why do you still live there? You love it. I think you just love having horrible people around you. I don't live in

San Francisco. I don't live in Los Angeles. I live in a small community. Yeah, with people who read the New York Times all up and down the street. I know. It's great. And then in New Jersey... It seems like no sooner do we have a Democrat. This is my old state, New Jersey. I love New Jersey. Lots of friends still in New Jersey. So they bring in a Democrat governor. And right away, she's doing exactly what the party wants. Oh, let's stir up some crap. Let's

make ICE look bad. Let's make Trump look bad. All the people are wearing keffiyehs on the street. I haven't seen the professionally printed signs yet, but they're coming. Tensions continue to flare outside the Delaney Hall Immigration Detention Center. Newark, by the way, is not exactly the same as New Jersey. Newark, New Jersey. Protesters who say living conditions in the building are inhumane, clashing with immigration enforcement. Saturday

morning. between ICE officers and demonstrators being met with tears. Just hours earlier, New Jersey Governor Mickey Sherrill announced plans to set up a for protesters to avoid a repeat of the chaos streets of Minneapolis between ICE agents and American citizens just months ago. and we know American citizens lost their lives. Hold on, stop. Can you... That woman is in the same milieu as Pam Bondi. She sounds just like her. Interesting. Let's listen again with a critical

ear. We know what ICE has done in other states, and we know American citizens lost their lives. And I refuse to let that happen in New Jersey. Yeah, that's a good observation. Maybe the same law school? The escalation in protests comes after 300 migrants went on a hunger and labor strike inside the detention center due to poor living conditions, including reports of detainees being burned by scalding hot showers and maggot-infested food. Here's what I don't understand.

They want a hunger and labor... strike? Are they in the, did they have to work in the detention center? Were they making Ikea furniture? Maybe license plates. For days, ICE has refused most of our requests, raising serious questions about what it's trying to hide from public view. Yesterday, the New Jersey Department of Health sought to inspect. the site, but it was denied full access. as well. Come the New York representatives come in and make a big

scene out of stuff. These are people aren't even representing New Jersey. Wednesday, a group of U.S. lawmakers went to Delaney Hall to see the conditions for themselves and hear. from detainees. It's MAGA infested, I tell ya! mistreated and then They're under attack. It's a quick... Mass. It is detention center. must shut Mark Wayne Mullen denies the allegations of unfit conditions at Delaney Hall, but said, holiday Holiday Inns suck too. Yeah. No, it's a program. It's no

different than everything else. It's all about the midterms. all about it. That's all that it is. Yeah. But at least we have Jill Biden on our team now. That's cool. Making the podcasters cuss. It's amazing. It's amazing. Making podcasters cuss. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I've got a couple other little things. How about let's finish something light. Okay. Again, of course, a homeschooled Indian. Uh, is this Spelling Bee Champ? Ah, yeah, this is good. Nearly 300 spellers

competing at this week's Scripps National Spelling Bee. After nine exciting rounds, judges declaring a tie, prompting a dramatic spell-off, a lightning round, 90 seconds to spell as many words as possible. Denebola. D-N-E-B-O-L-A. Faye Dodo. F-A-I-S-D-O-D-O. Kawasat. C-Y-W-Y-D-D-A-U. Slotchly. Riti Arias. R-E-T-I-A. Then the anxious wait for the winner to be announced. The spell-off results. spelled a total of 25 words and that an eighth grader from Rancho Cucamonga,

California, declared champion, correctly spelling 32 words. a new record. That's great. There was one of those videos going around like UCLA students who can't spell. Which is... - Funny, you know, actually I have it here. - My favorite stuff. It was quite funny. because it was an ad. But, you know, that's not the way it's presented on X, because as we know, on X, everything is... Fake and gay. So here it is, UCLA. By the way, UCLA people could never spell. Well, there's that. So UCLA

couldn't. Students struggle with basic reading. The sentence is, the beneficiary tried to embellish the extortion scheme. Here it is. The Beneficary tried to ambush the extortion. Storten scheme? What does that mean? I don't even know what to do. Ben, uh, I can't say that. I tried to, um, em, emlish. The... "Adortion... scheme?" "What does that mean?" "I don't know." It's actually a part of a – a commercial for UniShack off campus housing, but people post that

as, look at these idiots in California. You can't trust anything. Well, what are you going to do? You can't trust anything. They're idiots in California. You can't trust anything anywhere. However, you can trust. The Value for Value System. Now, if John and I can trust it today, it's a different story. But you can trust that your no agenda show always delivers you value without any commercials, without any corporate interests or anything like that. In fact, we,

to our detriment, speak our mind continuously. And we've done this for 18 years. We've been through the cycle. We know how it works. But we are always proud to say. That we thank you for your courage, the man who put the sea and Charles in charge. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John! Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning, all ships to Seaboard. and the grand feet and the air subs and the 100 names and nights out there.

In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, let me count you. There we go. That was pretty good. 1928, peak trollage, listening to us live on noagendastream.com and in the modern podcast apps, which is the only app you want to use is from podcastapps.com. You know, there was... There's this whole group. who came out of secret hiding. They've been meeting in secret. And they call themselves AMP. - Ant? - Amp, amp. - A-N-T? - A-M-P, Alpha Mike Papa. - Oh, amp. - Amp, yes.

And AMP stands for... Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting. Oh, okay. And so they had a secret off-site, which they called, get ready for it, the Amp Accords. Oh, brother. Yeah. And they have a website, ampaccords.com. A billion dollars of demand is sitting on the sidelines, which is why leading platforms, advertisers, publishers, and creators have come together to create the first podcasting measurement framework. So I'll skip right to the point of this. The, you know... Podcast measurement

sucks. It's based on downloads. It's no good. And so these guys want that YouTube money. They want to get the YouTube money because YouTube is calling their videos podcasts. So they're trying to redefine what a podcast is. They're doing it all wrong. Doing it all wrong. Spotify, SiriusXM, DraftKings, BetterHelp, there's the advertisers, Libsyn, PodScribe. And UTA, the UTA Creators Union. They're doing it all wrong. And this

is what I've told. I said, if you want to have the same type of measurement as YouTube to get your YouTube money. you've got to cut the podcast apps in on the deal. And I don't understand why people have such trouble seeing this. every media. always puts the distributor in the deal. Television, radio, newspapers, podcast apps, not in the deal. The podcast apps know exactly who heard the commercial. They know exactly how many people skipped. They know they have all they have what they call first

party data. If you cut the podcast apps in on the deal, you're going to be golden. You'll win everything. You'll win all the YouTube money. I don't know if they'll listen to me. Well, let me think. And by the way, I wasn't. You're right. They won't listen to you. I wasn't invited to the offsite either, which is, as you know. And why would you be? Baffling. Always baffling. You don't know Jack. I don't know what I'm

talking about. Get a modern podcast app. Not only will you be notified when we go live, many of the No Agenda Nation podcasts go live. And then not just us, lots of podcasters are now starting to do this going live. And you'll then be notified and you can listen to it live in your podcast app. But probably more important, within 90 seconds of publishing the podcast, you will be notified that it's in your podcast app ready to enjoy. Just ready to enjoy. Don't mess around with

those legacy apps. Now I mentioned value for value. This is what we've been living by for 18 years. It's a roller coaster ride. It's up, it's down. When it's up, we're happy. When it's down, we're not happy. Today is not the happiest of days. And please go on X and tell me the reason why is because I'm not critical of Trump and John. And John is... You're not hating on the Jews. That's the main reason. And John is no longer critical after his open heart surgery.

I'm too nice a guy. Too much love. Yeah, no. We are... And people are like, you've changed. You're a Christian. Yeah, I've definitely changed, but I don't think I've changed in my life. criticisms It's just people don't like it when you don't criticize someone. You have to criticize everybody. Everybody. I criticize you and them. Except Candace Owens. She's the one that's taking our audience. People are being hypnotized by Candace Owens. Yeah. And Tim Dillon. NLP never

hurt. And Tim Dillon. Tim Dillon. You don't know anything. You're watching those dumb chicks. I love the dumb chicks. This is what I've been waiting for. Finally, I have my opening for the show. Perfect. Um... Value for value comes in many different ways. We love when people support us. We got some great boots on the ground today. Perfect example. Thank you for helping us with clips. Thank you, Clip Collector, Steve Jones. He may have done your three by three. I don't know if he did, but...

Steve is very good at stuff like that. We appreciate it. People giving us encouragement. Even some of the negative stuff can sometimes be encouraging. It was like, oh, I'm going to delete this. Now I'm encouraged. Thank you. Oh, I'm going to block that guy. I'm encouraged. If you have nine followers and you've changed your screen name five times since 2019, you're getting blocked because you're a bot

or you're an NPC. And the other way that people can support us with their time, talents, and treasures is by creating artwork. It does work with prompting. Some people do actual work still with Photoshop, which is appreciated. And some just really, really don't do a lot of work at all. still will win. And that example is Darren O'Neill, who brought us the artwork for episode 1872, which aptly was titled Lunar Economy. We saw the lunar economy blow up on the launch pad. And once again, the

No Agenda Show predictions are on par. You said it. You said it's gonna blow up. It's not going to happen. It'll be delayed. And literally two days later, something blows up and the moon shot is delayed. But Why listen to us? So Darren made the cars for podcasters. Which was cute. It was cute. It was very cute. It's a different AI model. I had not seen the. crayon model yet. Have we seen this a lot, this particular? I think we may have seen it once or

twice. Possibly. But it's just well done. I mean, Darren is the master at this. Darren is quite the master at this. I don't know how, you know, it's amazing in some situations. Like what? I can get that to work. He's very good at it. Lots of people prompting away, I did enjoy that it doesn't have our names on it, at least that I can see, which is the No Agenda. Over next to Darren's piece, there's a Waffle House done in the style of No Agenda. I thought that was a cute piece. And I like the

kids sucking on the... Yeah, the moon helium. Yeah, the moon helium. I think we debated between moon helium... Cars for podcasters. And I think you like the moon base by Darren. That's what you like. These are the no agenda moon base. I like the helium one and the cars. I think you may have been the one that pushed the cars one. I wanted the rumble waffle, and you said, that's racist. By Scaramanga. Yeah, it was racist. It's not racist. I said, who is fighting at these

teen takeovers? Yeah, but it doesn't say teen takeover. It just says rumble waffle. as though it was a Waffle House with a fight going on outside. Well, okay. Not to make teen takeovers at Waffle House. You'd get your ass kicked. Ever been to one of those places? Yeah, I've not been to an awful house in a long time. Well, the waffle house has got a... Which is good. I would recommend going there, but there's a lot

of rough customers in there. Rough customers. And I'd say an honorary mention to Nestworks, who once again tried to do something non-AI, didn't quite make it. He has this new style. with kind of a line and, you know, Yeah. What style would you, is algo tricks, what style would you call that? Because it's minimalist. Minimalist, yeah. Didn't quite cut it, but we appreciate the fact that people do this at all. It gives us good feedback to know what you liked and what struck a chord during

the podcast. That's one. Another good reason for doing some artwork. It gives us some feedback in an interesting way. And you can upload that at noagendaartgenerator.com. And we appreciate what everybody does. And thank you very much, Darren O'Neill. It keeps him up in the standings. Now we will go to the treasure portion of our time, talent and treasure. And we have one executive producer. And what do

we have in total here? Seven associate executive producers. of a lot of people, we have 1800 people listening, not everybody's supporting us. Not today. Not today. But we will

Donation Segment — Sir Eric / Sir Jack-it / Texas Slim Letter / Meetups / Closer

thank Sir Eric. from Opelika, Alabama. I think it's Opelika, isn't it? Is it Opelika? Opelika? Opelika? Aren't, aren't, aren't. Our town names, our city names are pretty atrocious. Yeah, no, we watch them constantly, but I think it is Opelika. But it does come in with our favorite executive producer number, $333.33. And as a reminder, if you are fortunate enough to support us with $200 or more, you get an associate executive producership, $300 or more executive producer

credit, which is Hollywood level. You can use anywhere Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com. And we are guaranteed to read your note. We thank everybody $50 and above. because we're very grateful. And Sir Eric says, ITM Citizen John and Citizen Adam, here is some V for V. Can I please get some good sumo and no injury karma for me and everyone competing in the third annual Sakura Cup next weekend? Whoa! Do we have a producer who's a sumo wrestler? I have no idea. And I don't

know what the Sakura Cup is. I don't either, but send pictures. We've got to see your fat butt. You've got karma. If we have a noogen, this is an advertising opportunity. Can you put stickers or embroidery on the sumo thong? No, you can't put anything on it. The best you could do is have a tattoo and I don't think they'd like that. What, the Sumo Association? I've watched sumo for probably 40 years, and I've never seen

a tattoo on a sumo wrestler. You have not been keeping us up to speed on the most recent sumo developments. Opelika, you're right. Thank you, sir. Bye, His Grace. Ryan Wickenhagen in Townsend, Georgia. 275. Dear John and Adam, I decided to make my contribution quarterly. as opposed to my random here and there donations because I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that your show might be one of the few places left Where the middle still

exists. You call things for what they are, regardless of which side it comes from. And that is greatly appreciated and sorely needed. How come this guy's not posted on my Twitter timeline? I get nothing but the opposite. No agenda. Sounds like you have an agenda. Jew agenda. Israel agenda. Trump agenda. Yeah, that's what I get. do agenda. - You guys have built the most important component of any civilization, community. You've allowed there to be a middle.

I have phlegm today. You okay? You want me to take over? Do you need me to jump in? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm going to mute you

while you do that. continue while John is I'll just wait here for a second and are you done component no I'm not good I muted you I muted you I didn't want the phlegm to come through go ahead no I got that got to I muted myself oh I cleared my throat good you've allowed there to be a middle and if there's unable to look to the left or the right to make a choice then we have no choice and if we To have no choice, we have no freedom. If we have no choice, we

have no freedom, so we go in the middle. The No Agenda Show might be the only thing left that can save the republicans. I'm grateful for you both. I'm writing my congressman to demand we have Adam and John's face on the $250 bill instead of Trump. That means we have to be dead. Yeah, we'll put it off. Thank you literally for your courage and for your attention to this matter. You're welcome. Thank you. That's a very encouraging note. Thank you for blessing us with that. Nathan

Sweem. I think as a new donor, I don't recall a Nathan. Nathan Sweem from Central Point, Oregon, $263.22. Nathan does not have a note, so Nathan, send it to us if you want us to do a make good on that. In the meantime, you'll receive a double up car. You've got. Karma. Mansour Rod in Alpharetta, Georgia, $257.94. ITM and happy birthday, America. Oh, yeah, I know what he means. Zadok Brown, Pukalani, Hawaii, $257.94. One of the few producers left allowed to listen to the show in

end of show mix tells you to donate. It's very subliminal. So make sure you listen to it and listen to it loud. And John's tip of the day is coming up. But first we have a couple of ISOs.
