1878 - "Dream Build Loop"

You know, this guy is a crank. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, June 18, 2026. This is your award-winning Give My Nation Media Assassination episode 1878. This is no agenda. We're all raving about Ranch and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in Yeah, and from Refinery Row, where we're all concerned about the big report of the rapists in the UK, I'm John C. Dvorak. and buzzkill the mo- The rapist from the UK. I don't even want to know. Are they

here? Did you see the report? No. Depends. I mean, there's a lot of reports in the world. What report? It's a big 250-page report on the grooming gangs and the 250,000 girls raped. Did we need a report? Apparently the bridge did. Did we really need a report? By the way, quad screen, Obama. Wall-to-wall Obama opening up the presidential center. It's not a library, apparently. It's a center. It's good to see him back. The tower. Yeah, the tower. So, I just want to start with something really

nice? Ooh! I spent a couple hours, which is, as we discussed before we started the show, is two. Couple hours just enjoying. all of the videos on X. And subsequently on YouTube. That's all I really have. I don't have Instagram or anything else. of tourists, mainly Europeans, but some Australians and Japanese. who have discovered that America is awesome. Have you seen any of these? I've seen all

of them. You don't think they're staged? No! No. You don't think they were put together by the FIFA people to get more people to come over to these soccer matches? Oh, yeah, okay, sure. No. I'm just asking if you don't think that. I said no, and then you asked the question again, so the answer is no. Well, no, I re-asked it in a different manner. Hey, these stadiums of 70,000 people are full. It's not like people aren't going to the games. But, you know, no. How

is this about FIFA? It's people enjoying our hospitality, how friendly people are, that people say hello. They're loving. They cannot believe that the school bus. in America are actually yellow school buses. It's like... The way I see it... All of Europe, of course, we've had the same programming, have been brainwashed into thinking all we are is just one big bunch of racist, crazy people who are fat and lazy, shooting at each other. with a dictator running

the whole show. And now of course, you know, people are like, wow. We really love your fast food or your food in general. chicken fried steak, waffles. uh pancakes i mean they have pancakes but you know pancakes with chicken Waffles with chicken. um You know, people only know us from the movie. If you've never been to America and you only see it... America through the lens of the movies and television shows and Grand Theft Auto. You know, I think people are amazed that on one hand,

they feel like they're living in the movie because. Yeah, the houses really look like that. Big obsession with our fire hydrants. This is fascinating. People just loving the fire hydrants. Okay. Well, I'm glad you're getting a kick out of it. I like the guys roaming around at midnight saying, hey, I'm not. getting mugged. Well, that's the South African guy. Yeah. And it wasn't even at midnight. It was during the day. Like, look, women are walking through

the park. No, there was a guy at midnight roaming around. Same guy. Oh, okay. At a truck stop. And, of course, you know, this is different if you go to New York City or you're in downtown Los Angeles. How about Oakland? Take them down to International Boulevard. Well, I think this has changed attitudes. I think it's changed American attitudes. People like, yeah, you know, we kind of take it for granted that we have Costco and Walmart and Buc-ee's, but also we have small diners and we

have. dive bars and ice houses and cowboy ranches. I think the people who came to Texas who went, you know, really outside of, even people who went to Fort Worth was just touristy. But went a little bit further, no, people are exploring and they're really loving our country. And I like it. And they're saying, hey, you guys are- patriotic you got flags everywhere we're not even allowed to put up flags in our country You've got prayer on the bottom of your cups. No. I'm not so

cynical as you. I think it's great. I think it's... I've been to Sweden. Every other house has got a flag 24-7 all day of the year. Flag nuts in Sweden. I was talking about the UK specifically. Oh, well, the UK. Well, they can't put a flag because it's illegal. It's hate speech. Exactly. Exactly. You got people going to gun ranges holding a gun for the first time in their life. And like, well, that wasn't, that's, you know, they're really, they're shaking. Like, I'm going to shoot

this guy. Oh shoot, it's coming! And then after they shot the gun, like, oh, I want to shoot that some more. So, you know, they love our cars. They love the Dodge Charger. They love our trucks. And the amount of people who are so surprised that the yellow school buses are actually yellow school buses. They're just, they're joyous. It's just, I find it interesting, fascinating, and also endearing. And I'm proud to be an American. And I'm happy that people are here. There was no setup for

this. FIFA did no marketing. You know why? No one did any marketing because it was Trump's deal. The media didn't talk about it. You know, it's Trump, FIFA. I talk about it. I know the reports about it. There's no FIFA fever. Turns out... People love it. People love coming here. They always have. It's been a tourist attraction forever. Yeah, but... I just don't find it to be. It's something fishy about it. I'm sorry. I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm glad you like it. I'm glad you're

happy. Nobody puts flags up around here. Well, no, you're in California. What do you expect? Yeah, well, I don't hear anybody. That's why you're so grouchy about it. You live in possibly the worst state now, the worst. area. in the country. Where everyone's just grouchy and sour and upset and not happy. You know, you're an... um an exception but it's gotta it's gotta wear down on you Not really. Okay. I find it relaxing. Well, you're a

different, I don't think you're the stereotypical American. Nor do you live in a stereotypical American place. You just don't. Anyway. uh so well on the topic of the since we're making these comparisons i do want to play this crazy clip You've gone from screwball to crazy, okay. Duke or Duke Foley sent over. I said, I should play that clip. This is the UK and this is the bonus clip. UK and GDP rank. We are poorer than

every single... When voters were asked to guess where the UK would rank in terms of GDP per capita if it were a US state, gave on average the response of seven. The actual answer is 51st. Many people in Britain today do not fully grasp how far we have been fading. People of course have a general sense that our economy is going to be Our economy has not been growing strongly enough for some time. But too many tend to think we are still much richer than most

of our peers. And the fact is, we are not. We are poorer than every single US state. Yeah, that's why people are coming here. They're like, you guys are rich. Everything's big! Well, we always have been, but... The interesting thing is that I looked it up. Ah, come on. So I looked it up. I think it's probably true. And in fact, the per capita GDP of the UK is $52,000. Mm-hmm. The worst state in the United States for... Per capita GDP is Mississippi. at 55,000. Wow.

And there's a number of states with 100, 110, 118. 108, I think, is California's 108. Well, you have 2% that make up for the rest, so yeah. Yeah, it's still the... But still, the fact is the UK's. per capita GDP is terrible compared to us. Yes. And they have no money. They're broke. That's why the defense secretary, when I quit, we can't defend this country. I'm not going to take that on me. I'm out of here. Yeah, he took somebody with him to a... I forgot

who. Okay, so while we're on the UK... Man. On the media, NPR. These people are... They are sick, sick and crazy. So we've had these, we haven't. There's been the riots in... Ireland. And of course it's coming in, in Northern England and everything. It's all, it's all going to happen. This there's, there's mutiny. There's civil riots. And on the media, on the media, decides to not discuss at all why people are writing, but blame it all. on Elon Musk.

This is On The Media, I'm Brooke Gladstone. And I'm

Michael Loewinger. This week, Elon Musk took his company, SpaceX, public in an IPO billed as the largest in history. SpaceX is on track to become the most valuable company ever to go public and make its founder, Elon Musk, the first trillionaire. think he'd have his hands full with that, but apparently Musk has also had time to write many, many, many racist posts on X, some of which helped spark violent riots in the UK over the last

couple of weeks. The events this week began on Monday when a Sudanese man was arrested and charged with attempted murder for stabbing a white man in Northern Ireland. The attack comes in escalating tension. Hold on. This guy tried to chop the guy's head off and then gouged out his eyes. Oh yeah, no, You're wrong, man. This is not the problem. ...invested and charged with attempted murder for stabbing a white man in Northern Ireland. The attack comes

amid escalating tension over immigration across Europe. A video of the gruesome incident immediately appeared on social media. And then... Elon Musk writing on X this week only by... Okay, so the implication here from our friends at NPR is that, oh, the video was on social media, but it wasn't until Elon Musk started tweeting about it that everything kicked off. So Tommy, Tommy Robinson, you know who Tommy

Robinson is. Of course. What would you call him if you had, you know, like he is a Tommy Robinson is a fill in the blank. He's a natural born troublemaker who is a patriot, a UK patriot. Spurred in part by posts from a notorious conspiracy theorist. Tommy Robinson is the most prominent far-right activist in the UK. So on the media calls him a conspiracy theorist because everything he's saying is made up, you see. There's no immigration problem. There's no rape going on. Nothing like that. The

guy's just filled with conspiracy theories. David Gilbert is a reporter at Wired covering disinformation and online... Extremism. When did Wired cover disinformation and online extremism? Now Wired is a big disinformation. I'm actually ashamed that I was on the cover of Wired magazine with my face and an iPod now. Back when it was something cool. It was like being on the cover, you know, if you were in fashion, on the cover of Vanity Fair. I saw your face on the cover of Wired. How come it's not

on the wall? Uh, it is. It's in the garage. That's where I hang all my stuff now. He says things really... He had a wall. Yeah, in the garage. When did you go to the garage? I thought I was in the house. No, when we moved to this house five years ago. I said, I'm tired of all this crap in the house. And I don't need these high school trophies. So I got rid of the trophies. And then moved everything. No, I've always kept the trophies. And we've talked about this. Well, you never talked about

it. I always knew about the wall, but I never knew that you moved it to the garage or a closet. Yeah. It's much more like, you know, where guys hang out in the garage. They got Ford signs on the wall, Valvoline. RC Cola. Yeah, so I have a wall there. I'll take a picture of it. I'll post it. Extremism. He says things really heated up after Elon Musk reposted one of Robinson's videos. He has... a huge

amount of followers online. But what he's really expert at is inciting anger, stoking tensions, and making it seem as if the UK is under attack from minorities. Well, minorities. Notice how they move the goalposts on everything. It's under attack. No, it's under attack from... immigrants who have got on a boat, came in, and your country said, oh, poor immigrants. Let them stay here. Give them some money. Give them a hotel room. So here is the 24-hour

roadmap. From Musk to Mayhem. Give me the roadmap of how we went from a bystander video. to violence in the streets. A bystander video! Can you believe this? They're calling that quasi-beheading, eye-gouging, throat-stabbing a bystander video. What is wrong with these people? Huh. That's just, I'm flummoxed. Give me the roadmap of how we went from a bystander video to violence in the streets of Belfast in just 24 hours. As you said, it was 10.30 at night

in Belfast. Someone videoed it. We don't know who. They posted it online. Exactly one hour later, Tommy Robinson posted the video. That video got six million views. A few hours later, Elon Musk responded to Tommy Robinson and then spent the next 24 hours posting consistently about this case. Many major US accounts on X started amplifying the video when people woke up in the UK on Tuesday morning after the incident. By 7am, people were posting about having

protests. in Belfast and other cities in Northern Ireland. Far-right groups on Facebook started organising. Then Elon Musk posted about the protest and said that this is enough, we have to take a stance. People have to push back against this. And by 7pm that evening, there were masked men on the street who were kicking in doors of migrants. terrorizing migrant communities across Belfast. I find this to be

just amazing. They have moved from an actual problem that they won't report on to blaming it on Elon Musk and his posts. I don't know, it's just like... This is... This is very pathetic. And they continue. Elon Musk wrote, murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their hometown is what's making people angry, not social media. He reposted messages claiming that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, quote, hates white people. This is just like white supremacist great replacement theory,

right? It has been repackaged recently under a term called

"remigration" which is something that has been bubbling up in Europe for a few years and has been embraced by the Trump administration recently. So it's this idea that white people are under attack and so therefore we need to kick... everyone else out that doesn't look like us. So they pull it to racism continuously. So yes, it's a, they say, replacement theory, which is a cover for the actual document that exists, which is replacement migration, United Nations.

document. I read the documents, man. talked about it. You can find it on bingit.io. It was a real plan and they're executing that plan. It's been going on for a quarter century. What are these people imagining would happen? Imagining. They have a 30-year plan that would happen in three phases. The first phase would see the worst. of the worst what we're seeing in the US at the moment where they're trying to deport people who are threats

to society of criminal records and are there illegally. The second phase would see people who are in the country legally but are not citizens and who have not assimilated and are not white and they should be sent back to their countries as well. But what the third phase shows what these people really want. They would look at citizens who do not assimilate to the Western cultures, traditions,

and religions. For example, if they are still practicing religions other than Christianity, if they're cooking foods that are not traditional foods in Germany or France or the UK or America. Wait, like Indian food? food like bullshit you've been to britain they eat indian food like it's going out of style in fact take out in in in the uk refers to indian food not chinese like it does here yeah exactly now this is crazy then they would be kicked out and who gets to decide what assimilation

looks like Oh my god, that was weird. When I asked Martin Sellner, who was called the godfather of re-migration at the conference in Portugal... Wait, get a time code. You like that one? I have to hear that again. You have a time code. You got a time code. Consider it done. Who exactly decides this? He couldn't really give me an answer. Let me go back to what actually started it. And by the way, as you're doing this... As you're doing this, I'm scrolling through the Elon

Musk... Timeline. Very good. This bullcrap is mostly Eli. Yeah, he mentions it now and again, but he's yacking about. SpaceX, and Grok 90% of the time. He's promoting stuff. Yeah, exactly. He's got other things to do. To decide what assimilation looks like. When I asked Martin Sellner, who was called the godfather of remigration at the conference in Portugal, who exactly decides this, he couldn't really give me an answer. Ultimately, it comes down to whoever's in power

will decide. Say what? Elon Musk! Yeah, Elon was aside. He's in charge of it all, apparently. Well, she'll bring me to a clip now that you mention it. Okay. From Pivot. Oh, no. from Pivot. So unfortunately you can't, if you visualize, you can see a little better, but I didn't realize on the Pivot show, this is a... your buddies yakking about Elon and... And Kara is just in the, as, what's his name, Yaxon, she mumbles, oh yeah, oh he's terrible. She just keeps mumbling little bitty ditties under

her breath the whole time. Yeah, she's... she's... she's... Something's wrong with her. Let's listen. Let's be clear. Elon Musk, in my view, can probably decide who the next president is. If that's correct. He spent $250 million. When will these people get over this idea that money wins elections? They were the same people who were... Who were like, Elon spent $100 million in Wisconsin and failed. He failed. And now they're like, he can determine who the next

president is. Let's be clear. Elon Musk, in my view, can probably decide who the next president is. Yeah, that's correct. He spent $250 million. and had influence on the election. Maybe he didn't decide it. This guy spends more money than AIPAC. A lot more money than APAC. Why don't we run him out of the country? But he had the influence on it. What happens if he decides to put two and a half percent of his net worth or. 25 billion or a hundred times what he

spent. Well, he may just lose all that money. I think you would be happy. CNN will be happy. All the cable news would be happy if he's going to spend that kind of money. People will take it with open arms. Bring your money, Elon. These people are nuts. Hey, you know... Remigration. Send Kara Swisher back to wherever she came from. And Professor Scott, too. This poor man. He's so self-absorbed. It actually is kind of amusing to

watch his body language. Oh, what do you mean? Well, he's just, you can see that he's full of himself. I mean, he's very overconfident. He's actually rich. He has millions of dollars. He's loaded. The guy's loaded. Exactly. Anyway, I want to go back to the UK to Keir Starmer because now we have this problem. It's Elon Musk. It's X. It's social media. I'm surprised that they haven't slammed the door on social media. Probably shuttered all the

social media companies except Blue Sky. Of course, you wouldn't want to shut them down. Well, they've now become a European initiative. but you're close because let's look at the sequence of things that happened. Everyone gets a digital ID. And that's now a thing. You know, it hasn't completely rolled out now, but everyone has to get a digital ID. It was initially, oh, you can't work without a digital ID. They rolled that back a little bit. But the digital ID is, in essence, being rolled out in

the UK. So we would use the digital ID to make sure that you are 16 years or older. in order to use social media. But that also means that we know who you are. We got your account. We've tied it to your digital ID and all rolls out under the guise of. Protecting the children! Because today is a big moment for our country. This is a big

step. Real change for our children. and our future. Because today I can announce that the government will ban access to social media for all children under the age of 16. I'm This is not some... Something I do lightly. And I will not present it as cost-free, as if social media has brought no benefits to young people. Because clearly, that is wrong. But government is always about choices. And it's clear to me that a full ban is the right choice. I come to it as a parent

myself. I know exactly the fears that we all feel when we're thinking about this issue. All I've ever wanted for my own children, hand on heart, is for them to be happy and for them to be safe. And I think that's what any parent wants. But I ask the question now. Do we truly believe? that social media creates a happy environment for our children? Do we truly believe that it's a place where they can feel safe? Safe. I don't think I even need to answer those

questions, do I? Oh, okay. Don't answer the question, then. So I think that's, that this is under the guise of, uh, think of children. I think they've also banned VPNs. No, I don't know about that. I only know about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. They don't want people getting on these things. We need to talk about the deal, man. We need to talk about the deal. The MOU, the deal, the big deal, the big deal.

the big thing that's happening are you switching gears already well i'm finishing the uk stuff well no i have uh uk what what more is there to say it sucks And everyone who's from there, who's here, loves it here. That is the story. Of course they do. That's the story right there. It's prettier. Well, actually, how about this? I can ease us into it with a transition clip. Whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise, I'm going to act in the British national interest

in all the decisions that I make. And that's why I've been absolutely clear that this is not our war. or we're not going to get dragged into it. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer now singing a different tune, telling President Trump in a phone call yesterday he's, quote, ready

to support a U.S.-Iran peace deal. Meanwhile, the prime minister receiving letters of resignation from both his defense secretary and armed forces minister. over concerns the nation isn't properly defending itself. Former Trump State Department Senior Advisor Christian Witten joins us now. Great to see you, Christian. So explain to us, what is this about face from Keir Starmer all about? Well, Starmer's in crisis. He has been for some

time. He won a resounding mandate two years ago. It's a five-year mandate, but he's about to be ousted by his own party. He's an incredibly unpopular politician. The Labour Party is now in third place before Reform UK, which is sort of a MAGA-like party that came out of Brexit in the UK, and the traditional Tories. One of his buddies in Cabinet He's going to lose a by-election this week in which the person likely to be elected wants to challenge him for the premiership. So amid this

flailing, Starmer is looking for some sort of victory. I'm not sure what President Trump actually wants because Starmer is weak. He was not just failing to support the United States, this fundamentally important... important ally to Britain, but actually actively campaigned against Trump's decision. Yeah. Perfect segue. I'm giving you a 10 on that. Thank you. I should have played it and not said anything. Yes, thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spike in the ball doesn't help. Yeah. All

right, let's go. Man, the media, they just love this deal. They love the deal because it sucks. This is crazy. Why do we even do this? Trump is no good. Obama's deal just warmed over again. No, that's my favorite bit. That's my favorite bit. Is that it looks like Obama's. deal. It's the same. It could have done nothing. It had been better. Let me see. I have a, I have morning Joe doing just that. Uh, let me see. Where is, uh, Here it is. Morning, Joe.

Yes. This temporary deal we've reached and. We don't really know exactly what's in it. My concern is... But we'll comment anyway. Well, of course. We don't know what's in it, but I'm telling you something. It's no good. Deal on nukes, which Donald Trump said this is why he was fighting the war. It is identical, as in plagiarized, as in... Plagiarized. Carbon copied mimeograph sheet off of Obama's deal. They use the same words. They lifted it off of the Obama deal and put it on this deal

on nukes. So the whole idea that Obama was weak on nukes. and he's going to be tougher if you even read the language. Hold on a second. This hasn't been released, has it? Well, the memorandum of understanding, there's versions have been floating around, the Iranians. Yeah, but it's just all bull crap. They don't know what it really says, but he's. How could it be? Okay, I'm sorry, just- play it. A 14-point memo went out and then everyone's saying this is it and it's an MOU. It

doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter. It contracts. They're as good as the blood they're written in. This is why Trump, he's just doing what he does. It's like, I'm going to buy this building or I'll put my name on this building. We'll do the construction. All right, I'll sign the MOU. Let the lawyers take care of it. I'll see you in two months. You're not going to sit there and read through the legalese. Anyway, this memorandum of agreement. It's identical. Okay, well, here's

Obama's. Iran affirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons. That's July 14, 2015. Republicans melted down. Donald Trump said it was the worst plan ever, that Iran was going to get a nuclear weapon because of this deal. And this is what Donald Trump says. Iran cannot develop or purchase a nuclear weapon. And actually, it's actually closer than that. I will get it. He doesn't even have it. Right there is

two different. Literally two different words. Procure versus purchase. They're full of crap. They're totally full of crap. And since it's Obama, we gotta get Obama on. It is doubtful that any agreement that arises... is going to be significantly different. or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place. had worked for a long stretch of time before. Weedling. The United States pulled out of it. Okay. All right. Thanks, Obama. He's doing his

pre-promotion for the Presidential Center. Back to MSNBC. I think it's here. There are sort of two clear losers politically, and one is President Trump himself. There aren't good answers to those questions. Loser! Two sources close to the White House confirmed to me that all of President Trump's advisors, the closest people to him, had turned against this war. They had all were pushing them to just end it

at any cost because it's been so disastrous politically. And then I had a diplomat in the region talk about another person I think who's a loser in this politically, and that's Bibi Netanyahu. This person from the region said, I think most people have turned against the war for domestic political reasons. They're referring to countries, I'll say, you know, in the Gulf. And the majority are frustrated with

Bibi Netanyahu. So it's an extraordinary outcome. We were just talking about it before we started how just imagining that this war would end this way based on what the president promised on February 27th. I think there's no question Iran is coming out stronger. Iran is much stronger. Iran's the winner, ladies and gentlemen. So. They knew this was coming. They knew this was coming, so they sent Vance out. Vance went everywhere, including The View, which I have

the clips. I don't think we should play them. It was so stupid. These women are so disappointing as human beings. Vance, by the way, besides being on The View, was on every... Without fail. Every Fox show. Not just Fox. He was on CBS, CBS. He was on NBC. He was everywhere. He was on Gutfeld. He was on The Five. He was on everything. I know. This guy. Well, of course, he has a book to plug, so that's the gimmick. Maybe that's why they had him. That's

an interesting point. Because these were probably pre-booked for the book. Wow, the timing is interesting. So they had him out ready to do all, he had all these. these appearances booked in it because it's his calendar too. I wonder, by the way, when he booked it, because this is overbooking. If I've ever seen overbooking in my life, this has got to be it. I wonder if anybody knew that he was so ridiculous. He booked that he was on every show. Because generally speaking, if you're a

journalist, let me give you a quick example. journalists would often get notes from these PR companies. And my favorite one was always when I was at PC Magazine and somebody wanted me to write a column about something, they'd send a note saying, oh, you should write a column about this guy because he's great. In fact, he was written about in Vogue and in Harper's and he was in the New York Times. He was in the Washington Post and he was in the blah, blah, blah. And

they list off all these things that he's done. And I'm thinking, why am I going to write about him? I look like Johnny Come Lately. I'm not writing about him. Johnny Come Lately. I get these. There's so many of these coming out now. in my email box because you know a podcaster and my adam mccurry.com people find that everywhere i'm getting and you can market a spam all you want It keeps coming in. I'll have to read a few more of those in the future because

it's exactly like that. And sometimes... But first of all, what idiot are you? What idiot PR person are you? I hate you because you know I don't do guests if you listen to the show. You don't. So now I hate you. I hate this strong word. I think you're foolish. So here's Vance on CBS about the comparison. And one final point on this. You know, you hear a lot of comparisons. How is this? How is this the same from the JCPOA? I think that fundamentally misunderstands

where we are. We have comprehensively destroyed their nuclear program, and this agreement is about ensuring that they don't rebuild it. The JCPOA was fundamentally about bribing them to stop the construction or to cease a nuclear program that was... already in progress. It's a very different background, a very different sort of leverage, and I think really a different outcome for the American people. So the president was very clear at this G7 meeting, which used to be the

G8 until everyone decided Russia had to get out. Just pfft. People don't even remember that anymore. Get out. We don't like you anymore. We do. We do. The president was very clear about the difference between JCPOA and this MOU and 60-day deal. It's very different. Obama did not have... was not in the position to say this. Bomb Iran if they don't comply, but there's nothing enforceable. in the deal itself, is that correct? - It doesn't have

to be. I let him know, I said, "Look, if you don't adhere to the agreement, "I don't wanna do that." We're going to bomb the hell out of you. And I don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement. What else am I going to do? Am I going to say I'm going to take you to court? Let me take you to court. Let me sue you. No, we're gonna bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement. I don't want them to. I want them to honor the agreement. Again, the strage

slows up. Bad things can happen, you know, in war. Terrible things happen, like you mentioned the question before about the school gets hit, other things get hit. Bad things happen in war. War is a nasty place. I see it. I see it. I see it better than maybe anybody has ever seen it. Okay, so that is the deal. You stop doing this or I bomb you. Mr. President, you've been saying all week that this deal permanently prevents Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. But the drafts

of the deal... mentioned Iran's nuclear program. So can you explain how exactly the deal achieves that goal? at a level that was three times greater, and they knew that I will bomb them. Now, that's with me as president. If you have a weak, pathetic president, maybe that doesn't happen, but I can only do the job that I have to do. I have a long time to go. I have almost three years, close to three years. Time is going fast. Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them

again. Okay, so then there was part of the drafts and New York Times. I saw people posting, we're going to give them $300 billion. This is horrible. We're the losers. Bonjour. This is Peter Doocy saying bonjour. Because he's in France. kind of sad bonjour bonjour you've been clear president trump the united states is not going to directly pay iran but the u.s is going to let the

iranians start making billions Selling oil, accessing this reconstruction fund. $300 million fund. It's only $300 million fund. It's only if they're doing things right. Remember this also. When you talk about billions of dollars, they've had much more than a trillion dollars worth of damage done. They got a long way. They'll be 15 to 20 years to rebuild what they have right now. I don't see why it's so hard for people to understand that the deal is kind of obvious. You do what we say or we

bomb you. You don't need more than one paragraph that says that. People may not like it. But, you know, and the 300 billion is coming from the... The Gulf states, they're the one. Yeah, it's mostly in terms of investment. Yeah, of course it is. And it's all going to flow into. No, they're just giving him money. No, it's all going to flow into. the Abraham Accords will all be a part of this. And then, this is the part that I find rather interesting.

And funny enough, only Morning Joe. talked about it. Here's Vance on CBS about Israel. Let me ask you this before you go. Is Israel on board with this? It doesn't appear so at this time. What are you hearing? What are you thinking? Well, Gail, of course, Israel's been a good partner, but we do expect... They've been participating in this peace agreement. They've been participating in our talks

with Iran. They understand where our perspective is. And what the president has said is that we expect everybody to honor this agreement. There are always, Gail, these bumpy moments with these ceasefires. Sometimes someone will fire and sometimes somebody will... responds. We think right now that there are probably people within Iran because of the internet blackout. They're not even aware that this deal has happened. So we certainly expect the Israelis are going to be a participant in

this peace process. But we think it's going to be good for them. It's going to be good for us. It's going to be good for the Gulf Coast coalition. And Gail, if the Iranians... So... Israel is not happy with this. And Trump doesn't care. Only Morning Joe, for some reason, is the only place you could find talking about this. Let's talk about... what it is to be an Israeli this morning, looking at the United States. I've heard from a lot of strong supporters of Israel over

the last day. That's Joe saying... Some of my best friends are Jewish. They feel betrayed. You had, on October 7th, more Jews killed than any day since the Holocaust. Netanyahu started a three-year war. Uh, much of it, uh, I've just absolutely found, uh, to be... way over the line and the abuse heaped upon people in Gaza and leveling of Lebanon, but the Israeli people went along with

it. Support it. because of october the 7th but they launched a three-year war against iranian proxies And Iran itself, Netanyahu went in and pushed Donald Trump into starting this war. Okay, so there's that meme again. Bull crap. Yeah, it's bull crap. So Trump talked about this a lot. particularly when it was sitting down with the al-Qaeda guy who now runs Syria. And I suggested to Israel to

let... Fox was all over this. You make it sound like nobody else talked about it, but everybody on Fox was talking, especially the part you're going to play, which is turning it over to Syria. Yeah, there was a little bit more than that. And I don't watch Fox religiously. uh i do find stuff from them but i i take them with this This is from C-SPAN. I was just watching on C-SPAN because I don't trust any cable news media. And I suggested to Israel to let

Syria take care of... But you're telling me Fox was talking about how Israel was disappointed or were they playing these clips? Both. Okay. I think they do a better job of doing it. Right there. That was played over and over. And I didn't like Syria. I didn't like where... Two hours before we're signing the agreement, that there was an attack. In Lebanon, in Beirut. It wasn't like in the southern... and, you know, it was in Beirut. I did not like that. I let them know that.

He wasn't, he was not holding back on this. Yeah, no, this was the clip that they played over and over, over and over. There's a couple more. I was very responsible for the gentleman that's here, that's now the president of Syria. He's done a tremendous job. He's put that country together in a year and a half. Sort of like our country, a year and a half, similar size. They said, please don't put him there. He's a very violent man. Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda. They said, well, I know

one thing. A Boy Scout's not going to work. Did Fox have that clip? They didn't have the Boy Scout part. I love that. But they had the rest of it. He's upset about the apartment getting leveled because of one guy. Yes. But this is not a man who is controlled by BB, Net, and Yahoo. That's my point. Well, that's everybody's point. Except the people that hate our show. We'll get that done. That's a small one. And we'll work with Israel and get it done. But I'd like to do it. I mean, you have to do

it. People living there... Buildings are being dropped. On top of them. or right alongside of them. How would you like to live there? It's so unfair, especially Beirut. You know, you go into Beirut, and I looked at the scene two days ago yesterday where they hit. That was a big hit. That was unnecessary in my book. And now he's going to take it to Bibi personally. I've had a great relationship with Bibi, but now Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon. Lebanon used

to be a great country. It was a country where you had professors, doctors, lawyers. The great intellect was in Lebanon. Now it's just, it's terrible. I would say of all countries they've been treated the worst. And they can't defend themselves. And they have Hezbollah, which is a problem for them. So, no, I'm not happy with the way Israel has... handled themselves with Lebanon and with Hezbollah. They should have been able to do this yet faster. It

just goes on forever. And when that happens, it throws a negative light on the big deal, and that's the deal with Iran. So when you ask me about Bibi, An unbelievable relationship. Unbelievable relationship. Unbelievable. I think that's what it means. It's unbelievable that I even have this guy call me on the phone. Well, my favorite clip from Trumbo, he says, if it wasn't for me, he'd be in jail. Well, that wasn't a clip. That was the Axios reporting. He confirmed that on the New York Post

interview. We played that a couple of weeks ago. Let's listen to what Al Jazeera has to say. All right. I mean, they don't talk about what you just played so much with the Syria-Israeli thing, but they talk about the... what might be going on with what Iran really demands. Iran's top diplomat says that any agreement with the United States must include the release of blocked Iranian funds, sanctions relief, and Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon, as we've been

discussing. Listen to Abbas Araki, and then right after that, U.S. President Donald Trump. The first phase is to end the war, the Strait of Hormuz, the naval blockade, and the other topics related to freeing the frozen assets of Iran, the reconstruction. Every other topic that is related will be dealt with through talks and negotiations for the coming 60 days until we reach a final agreement. During the final agreement, we'll talk about the nuclear matters and lifting

the sanctions. From our perspective, the two sides of this agreement are America and Israel on one side and Iran and Hezbollah on the other. The end of the war in Lebanon is an inseparable part of the complete end of the war. and the end of the war includes the end of the occupation as well. Meh, alright. Sounds about right. That's what it sounds like. It sounds right. Then we have the CBC chiming in with a couple

of analysis pieces. Good things are happening. Only a few people have seen the fine print of Donald Trump's... deal with Iran, the one he claims will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war. But the U.S. president says within days, everyone will. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And it says it loud and clear. Meeting with leaders from the Persian Gulf on the sidelines of the G7 in France. Trump was peppered with questions about Israel and its intensely negative reaction to his deal. In

extraordinary remarks, Trump positioned himself as Israel's savior. Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel because no other president was willing to do what I did. Equally remarkable was his assessment of Israel's military tactics fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon, where more than 3,800 people had been killed. In criticizing the impact on civilians, Trump echoed arguments more commonly used by Israel's

harshest international critics. Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed. And you don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody. Because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses. And they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you. Yep. Okay. So the CBC is addressing it

to some extent. is part two. The potential lifting of sanctions to ease Iran's crippled economy and the future of its nuclear program, which both the U.S. and Israel said necessitated the war, have been kicked down the road to be dealt with during two months of negotiations, said Iran's foreign minister, Syed Abbas Arrachi. Israel's full withdrawal from the Middle East.

from Lebanon must come first, he said. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not address Trump's criticisms of him or his war tactics, but Monday night he vowed to maintain Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon, casting doubt on how long the negotiations will last. with Iran will last. If Trump's deal holds, shipping lanes will reopen and more attacks and

bombings averted. But with Iran's leadership emboldened, the alliance between the United States and Israel is being tested, perhaps as never before. Oh, okay. Yeah, valid. By the way, I keep saying by the way. unbelievable Right now, CNN and Ms. Now. are doing full-on live coverage of... this presidential center and there's john legend and they're they're on stage they're performing uh bruce springsteen You've got the Obamas dancing. Oh, Stevie Wonder's there. George Bush is there. Uh, George

Bush is there? Oh yeah, oh yeah, dancing like a white guy. Oh man. It looks like a very small exclusive concert. Which it would make sense. It's just, okay. All right, it's Live Aid, everybody. It's just like Live Aid. We need to go. All right, we need to go live. We need to go live. It's so awesome. Obama's on. Let's go. Crazy. Wow. Now, the president didn't do himself a lot of favors with everything he said. dead in France. Here's Anderson Cooper picked up on it.

The nuclear dust, we're going to want that. And I think we're going to get that. We're going to get the dust back. The dust. The nuclear dust. The nuclear dust. We're getting the nuclear dust. That was a term I made up because it's sort of, you know, it's... A simpler term for... people understand it's nuclear dust sort of dusty but i said we get the nuclear dust He can call it whatever he wants, but they're not

getting it. When asked about it today, the president said that's no longer a problem because the material was buried by American airstrikes, which led to this very long soliloquy about granite and marble. Heh. They were building, or they were enriching material, as they say. I call it nuclear dust. They were enriching material under granite mountains, granite being, for those not in the construction business, granite being a very strong, the strongest stone. It's not as pretty as

marble, but it's much more... It's much stronger. It's a lot stronger. Like the new granite I put. on the stairs of the White House going to the Oval Office to black granite. It's rated one million years plus. No marbles rated that. Marbles rated 100 years if it's outside. So these are granite. Yeah. It's about granite. I mean, I was expecting to go back about the pool. Olympic-sized swimming pools. Now with algae. I think it's funny that, yeah, granite is a different, we use it, we have

used both of these. products and yeah marbles porous yeah oh it's it's stains you got to be real careful it's stains but granite does nothing yeah um let's see there was one analyst i did get this from fox who explained the difference between This Iran deal, which is... do what I say or I throw a bomb on your head versus the JCPOA. Former President Obama was on TV earlier today saying, you know, whatever deal the president is able to sign, that it wouldn't be much different

than his deal, the JCPOA. Can you tell us how this deal is different and how it is better? So broadly speaking... the JCPOA deal negotiated under President Obama allowed Iran a path toward a nuclear program. Because when we talk about enriched uranium, and this is really important when we look at the difference in these deals here, and I don't want to give you too much of a lesson on enrichment, but it's actually quite important when we're talking about the Obama deal versus the deal that was

just signed. right now. During the Obama administration, it allowed Iran to continue enriching uranium. And the way that uranium is enriched, the uranium ore is actually extracted from the ground, and then through a chemical process, it turns into yellow cake. And then another chemical process, it turns into

hexafluoride gas, and they spin that gas very rapidly in advanced centrifuges. And ultimately, the heavier particles go to the outside and the lighter ones stay in the middle. And this is repeated over and over again until you get to a higher purity of enriched uranium. And to take enriched uranium from, let's say, 5% to 10% to 20%, ultimately to 60%, and eventually 90%, which is weapons... grade material can be a matter of weeks, if not days.

And so allowing the Iranians to keep advanced centrifuges and then enrich uranium, eventually closer to weapons grade material, set them on a path toward a weapon, because that is a process that is needed to create a nuclear weapon, even if they weren't doing it at that moment. agreement does not allow the Iranians, according to this senior administration official, to keep any of their enriched material. And that means they're not going to be able to repeat that

process in advanced centrifuges. And then once U.S. forces leave the region, increase the purity of the enriched uranium again toward a nuclear weapon. All right. So that kind of explains it as a little bit different. And the only thing we care about is the price of gas. The FIFA tourists. That's right. The FIFA tourists, they already love it. They're like, I can't believe how cheap your gas is. What are you complaining about? I'm from Sweden. I'm

from Germany. It's so cheap, it's amazing. And the president

was asked about it. this by his shill in the uh in the press pool thank you president trump i'm sorry this is a different show oil prices are now plummeting how do you see this agreement further affecting energy prices in the u.s and the u.s economy in the long term and uh secondly mr president how do you think vice president jd vance did on the view yesterday Well, first of all, thank you for the word "plummeting" And that means oil prices are going to come down.

You know, if you make donuts, you have a heating, you have a stove. Donuts! You have to buy the heat. You need the gas or the electricity or whatever you're using. Oil is the biggest thing. You get oil prices coming down, and they're going to come down, and we're hitting in the threes now for gasoline, and that'll come down a lot lower. I don't know what plummeting, I'm not sure exactly what plummeting, I mean, you plummet to your death, so that's like all the way down

to the bottom. What is the definition of plummeting? falling fast let's ask the robot book of knowledge give me the definition of plummeting Oh my goodness. Let me try that again. Book of Knowledge. Give me the definition of plummeting. Oh, the book of knowledge is broken. Okay. Did you look it up? No, it means falling fast. Does it mean falling fast? Really? What do you think it means? Plummet? Let me see. Definition of. fall from an altitude? Well, let's see. I just want to... I'm just

asking. Let's see here. The robot should be at- The robot is broke! The robot's broken. To fall very quickly and suddenly. Okay, fall very quickly and suddenly. I don't know if it's, it is dropping. It has gone down below 80. It dropped from 100 to 75, so. Well, that's 25%. That's quite a fall. have slid down and

the Brent has also come down to a 78.3%. Global prices have continued to come down and this is also going to affect not just India but also our neighboring countries of China, Japan, South Korea, Europe which were heavily affected by the Now what's interesting is that CNBC is starting to publish articles about an oil glut. that is on the horizon. that there would be too much oil. Have you picked up on this? No, but that'd be great. Yeah, well, they call it the golly buff. effect.

Mr. Vice President Brian Sullivan, thank you again for coming on the program. I want to follow up with that because I think it's incredibly important what you just said, that if Mohammad Ghalibaf, who is seen as a more hardliner, is at the table, that would be construed as an even better symbol, a better sign of where this

negotiation... May go. Would you agree with that, that getting somebody like a Mohammed Ghalibaf, the speaker of the House who is seen as more of a hardliner internally, would be viewed as the best possible outcome here rather than one of the more moderates that might be seen as a little more pro-White House, and yet you still might have this division and factions inside of Iran. Well, I think the best outcome is a good deal for the

American people, which we have. Fundamentally, we're dealing with everybody in the Iranian system. You know, there's the IRGC, the sort of regime hardliners, the military side. There's the political side. leadership and within the political leadership, you have people who are more hardline and less hardline. We expect to have a full spectrum of representatives at the negotiation on Friday.

Again, we've been talking to these people, sometimes indirectly, but sometimes directly, and that's what's fundamentally changed under the president's leadership. We are now... speaking directly to the Iranian system. We have some good relationships there. So this is going to be a successful negotiation because, you know, we're not passing messages through various back channels anymore. We're actually talking

to them. And when you talk to them, you figure out what's real, what's fake, what are they serious about, what are they not serious about. And the thing I'd add to that is... We fundamentally have all the cards here. We don't have to give the Iranians anything if they don't make the commitments that we want long term on the nuclear program. Yeah, you're right. Blah, blah, blah,

blah. Can I ask you a quick question? Yeah. I thought the negotiations were done last week over the weekend and they were going to sign the agreement on Sunday. And the Iranians said, no, we're not going to sign it on Sunday. We're going to sign the M-O-A or M-O-E or whatever the hell it is. M-O-U. M-O-U. M-O-U. on Friday and they're going to go sign it on Friday. Now, what now all of a sudden I'm hearing that this is negotiations with all kinds of factions. Well,

what? Wait, what? No. uh the memory said yes here's how i understand it because since you asked me the question I am asking you the question. And as an aside, the definition of glut is flooding the market with more supply than there is demand. The memorandum of understanding. If you, what I've read, 14 points. is no more than... Shut up. Don't create nuclear bombs or I will bomb you. And we'll figure out all the details in the next 60 days. And that's what Vance is going

to sign on Friday. some elaborate science makes it sound as though they're going to be doing negotiations on Friday. But that's when the technical, the technical, technical negotiations will start. Who's going to go in and check it? You know, what are the checks and balances? To me, it doesn't matter. What the president is saying, and whether Americans like it or not, he's saying... Stop that nonsense or I will bomb- It's literally saying I will put a

bomb on your head. That's the deal. You don't need anything else. I mean, his point is valid. So we have a 150-page document. What's the point? And if they violate the document, there's no point. His point is valid. What's his point? Get rid of all your nuclear dust. Don't mess with the straight of the moose. Is that a point or is that an assertion? No, that's a point. That is a point in the memorandum of understanding. Stop messing with shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. That's

it. Or I will put a bomb on your head. That's it. That's the whole deal. Will that hold up in international court? No, that's what Trump said. What am I going to do? I sue these guys if they break the deal? Now, as long as he's president, that's the deal. And the next president, we'll see. He even said that. Did you see when he walked into the G7? And said, I'm the boss. Did you see that? Yes, I did. It was hilarious. It wasn't good enough for audio, unfortunately. Yeah. There was a lot of fun

things that happened at the G7. And my favorite was Starmer, like, we did this. We're going to do this. We're all in. Aren't we good? Well, let me first say how much we welcome the deal. that President Trump has been able to get in this situation and congratulate him and the mediators on the work that they have done because this is a really important breakthrough. At the G7 here, we've been discussing the details of that deal. Oh, we're discussing the details. You're not in the negotiation,

Starmer. As you will know, President Macron and I put together a group of countries prepared to play their part in terms of reassurance to get vessels through the strait. That is hugely important in terms of reopening the strait. opening the strait. Very, very important for us in the United Kingdom. Very important. Because, of course, the strait being closed in the way that it has, has had an impact on our economy, had an impact on every household

across the country. So we'll play our full part in relation to that. Yes, we're here. We're side by side. Our special relationship is restored. We're good to go. And And if anything, I still fully believe that this was just as much about killing the old systems. with Lloyd's of London, you know, now there's all these other insurance companies. We're the ones that are controlling what's happening there. And the, the... City of London and the British Crown,

all those people, they're cut off. They're out of the deal. Go mess around with NATO and Ukraine and see if you can make that work. I think it's a very good deal for America. And it was interesting because the... the oil baron, he's like, You know, a lot of analysts are saying it's going to shoot up over 100, 150. What are you talking about? I don't think this... We've heard this before. I don't think the deal will really be finalized until well after the midterms. That

doesn't seem likely. After the midterms? Now, I think there's a lot of guys in the oil business like we we got to keep this going this is great for us I got a Obama clip just came out. Play my Obama clip. Obama clip. Hold on a second. Winnie the Obama The Obama. Let me just, I just, I just, I just, I just. I just want to be clear about this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News' credentials from the White House press corps. Are you so bored with me that you're gonna put a poorly edited

Obama clip in all of a sudden? Poorly edited. Oh, that's the worst thing to say. Click, click, click. It wasn't even rhythmic. Click, click. Ow. We have that. No, no, no. Hey! See? That's a good Obama. So, um... Just as an aside... There was a story that ran that unreported every place, it seems to me, during all this brouhaha and the G7 and every place else. is

I bet you haven't heard about this, the Rubio row with India? No, I haven't. The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told his Indian counterpart that any violation of the blockade of Iran will not be tolerated. He also warned against what he called the illicit transport of Iranian oil in the... Strait of Hormuz. Ambarasan Etirajan reports.

Mark Rubio made the comments after the Indian foreign minister Subramaniam Jaishankar called him to protest over the killing of three Indian seafarers by an American strike on a merchant vessel. It was one of three ships with mostly Indian crew that were attacked this week. as the US enforces its naval blockade on Iran. Delhi lodged a strong diplomatic protest. Despite the two countries sharing close ties, the latest comments by Mr Rubio are clearly seen as a snub.

As one former Indian diplomat pointed out, there was no regret over the killing of unarmed civilian sailors. of a friendly country. I had not heard that. BBC, interesting. Yeah. I hadn't heard that. This is from the same country where they're doing this to their school children. Now woke schools teaching pupils at Stonehenge was built by black people,

Alex. Yes, so children are being taught... that Stonehenge, this is a story mail online today, Stonehenge was built by black people and the Roman Emperor Nero married a trans woman. These are the stories that are being, and they're also being told in pro-transgender lessons that slaves have to be had their body parts altered and it was a form of gender transition. I mean, you couldn't make it up. Yeah, of course. That's exactly what they're doing. You're

topping me now with this jack-off clip. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Do you want to talk about Ukraine and Russia for a minute, or is it too much war? I'm going to go to something else. I think we can move on to other stuff. Okay. There's nothing going on there that I can tell that's worth talking about that's new. Well, Ukraine drones hit targets in Russia again, and what I'm hearing... I'll take it with a grain of salt. is that Russia may be ready

to... um show what they can really do. Like, hit them with something bigger. Yeah, well, we'll see. Like a mini-nuke. It seems highly unlikely because all the... Radiation will go into Russia. It depends on where. If they hit them near Poland, they'd go into Poland. It depends on how the wind is blowing. Well, that would make... They're not doing that. Um... Here's something, although we already knew it and we already discussed it. Byron Allen was on.

on CBS, the station where he, I see David Letterman now at the Obama Presidential Center. Oh my goodness. Oh, man. It's a party you do not want to be at. It's like, I don't want to be there. The only thing with John Legend is the giveaway. And Bruce Springsteen, both on the same stage because their music is so alike. Here's Byron Allen explaining his deal. So how did this deal turn out? Like, how did it work?

Because you talked to Kevin Frazier about it. Yeah. This is something that you had to come out of pocket for. It's something you're very passionate about. Yeah. So the, you know, the networks are challenged because sports rights are very expensive. Of course. And, you know, add dollars and shit. from linear to digital. So there's some financial pressure. And I've invested about a billion dollars buying ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox affiliates and other assets like the Weather

Channel. So I bought the Weather Channel about eight years ago. And what I said to the networks, I said, look, you're spending about 150... on Colbert and the show after Colbert. And I'm running half-hour infomercials, spray on hair, you know, abs in 24 hours. I said, save your money. I will put my show, Comics Unleashed, on. Now, I started Comics Unleashed, well, first of all, they said this is great. Yeah, they said this is a great idea. You're going to save us $150 to $170 million?

Well, I love that you use your business mind to kind of transform. from the comedy world, but you just mentioned that you've written jokes for David Letterman, and you know the public criticism from Letterman, from Kimmel, from others about CBS canceling Colbert. How does that sit with you as the person who's taking on this time slot? I think it was a very unfortunate event. I love Stephen Colbert. I'm a big fan. Once they made the decision,

I said, okay, this isn't show business. business show. You know, they say, you know, they're losing lots of money. I said, here's a solution not to lose lots of money. And I think we can hold on to his audience and hopefully build on it because it is business show, not show business. And I'm sure that CBS right after that said, so people were wrong that it wasn't Trump who got him fired. It was really about money. Yeah, they didn't. They didn't. One more that you will

be interested in. The guy's a genius. Byron Allen? Yeah. I don't know. I'm skeptical about buying all the local affiliates, though. What is the long-term value of that? He sees everything as a vehicle for infamy. infomercials and his shows. Yeah, but, okay, I just don't know what the viewership is anymore. It has to be, I mean, just over time it's declining. There's enough evidence of that, so I just wonder. If he can make it work. No, I'm sure he's made a calculation. He hasn't made any

mistakes. He's not dumb. He's not dumb. So here is an ad that popped up that Steve the clip collector included in his batch to me this morning Did you know that the average American sees up to nine pharmaceutical ads every day? That adds up to 16 hours of pharmaceutical ads every year. Are you sick and tired of pharmacy? pushing medications you probably don't even need just to

drive up profits? You're not alone. Nearly three out of four American voters want Big Pharma to stop advertising directly to consumers. But Big Pharma ignores what people want. In 2025 alone, drug makers spent $9 billion. on direct-to-consumer advertising. Enough is enough. Big Pharma needs to give that time back to Americans. Voters are ready for lawmakers to take a stand and get Big Pharma off our airwaves and out of our living rooms. Tell Congress it's time to

ban direct-to-consumer advertising by pharmaceutical companies. Learn more at pharma reform alliance.com paid for by pharmaceutical reform alliance, Inc. How about that? It's about time. I don't know why they have to put together a group when all that should happen is the president and the... HHS secretary should just put just put the kibosh on it. We're the only country besides New Zealand in the entire world that allows this. Well, they're calling... And it's created a situation where

the big pharma's pushing people around. They've got too much political power. Clout. If you look at pharma reform alliance dot com, this is quite a big group. of partners. I'd say on this page, probably about 50 of them. Like who? The name of you. Okay. I'll start at the top. Association of Builders and Contractors in Greater Michigan. Ash woodworking. Yeah, that's like... Bad Idea Supply should be on here. Let's see. Uh... California. So far, two lightweights.

Well, there's a lot of them. California African-American Chamber of Commerce, California Black Chamber of Commerce, California Hispanic. Calis- Palazien Chamber of Commerce, a lot of chambers of commerce. Citizens unite. Let's see. I'm looking for some big names here. Doster Law Offices, meaningless. Event ticket authority? Uh... It's, you're right, it seems like a lot of small... small company, a lot of real estate people for some reason. And

they say they are, what do they say here? A bipartisan alliance whose members are united by common goals, holding Big Pharma accountable for ripping off the American people and making prescription drugs more affordable and accessible in the United States once and for all. I smell Trump somewhere. And they have a... Not done well enough to be Trump. They're at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue. So it's not like... Avenue K. It's not like Avenue K. the Republican women of

East Alabama. I know. I like that they're doing the ads. And if, you know, yes, I'm sure that. The reason I say I smell Trump is because he knows that it's a problem if he just signs an executive order. It has to go through Congress. They need a, dare I say it, a grassroots movement. That's what they need. I think someone's trying something. Did banning cigarettes ad require that? Congress, yes, it did require Congress, absolutely. Do we know that for a fact? We can't ask the

robot anymore. I think the robot may be fixed. Kick it, kick it. No, hold on. Let me see if the robot is... Let me see if the robots... working again. What was your question? Did it require an act of Congress to ban cigarette advertising? Book of Knowledge. Did it require an act of Congress to ban cigarette advertising? I'm not still broken. What does it do? It flips a page and dies? Yeah. Hmm, it's getting an error. Talk about voter fraud. I have the other robot working

on fixing that robot. As we speak. It'll get fixed during the show. Have the one robot fix you. There you go. Now you're talking. Exactly. Let's go with, I guess, some voter fraud clips. Okay, you want to set it up? Uh, yeah. Voter fraud in California is ridiculous and is being ignored. And people, you know, we talk about it all the time on the show. We had some good clips about how it works. And but, you

know, they've been uncovering stuff left and right. And there's got to be something done about it because, you know, half of the dead people in California are voting. Now because you haven't registered, I need to register you so I can get paid too. This is the video taken on Skid Row that the Department of Justice says has sparked an investigation into voter registration fraud in Los Angeles. The video created by right-wing political activist James O'Keefe. was

posted back in March. And on Monday, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, alongside First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Saley and officials with the FBI announced an arrest and charges in the case. They say 64-year-old Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, a longtime signature gatherer for petitions, has been charged with paying

people, including some experiencing homelessness, to register to vote. Prosecutors say her motivation? Petition gatherers are paid for valid signatures, which require the person signing to be a registered voter. She would then gather, starting in 2025, stacks of voter registration forms from the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters. and then go to Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to have homeless people first sign the voter registration forms

and then sign the signature petitions. In exchange, they say she would offer cash, which is illegal under federal law, and have them use her old address on the form. These were often small sums of money. as well as cigarettes and phone cards. Yeah, it's the homeless people they're paying. It's also an example of marketing. Explain. Well, smart marketing. She gets paid so much for signatures on petitions.

She has these people create those signatures so she can get, she probably makes $5 per signature on a petition and costs her two bucks to get somebody to create a new. voter registration, she makes three bucks on the arbitrage. Right. Well, that was because California law allows ballot harvesting. Which I don't think is legal everywhere. It's a fabulous marketing

opportunity for this woman. uh she should be given at least some kudos from the one of the uh You know, maybe an award or something from an advertising age, perhaps. Oh, the golden, what is it? What does it have in the golden lion? What is it? Something like that. A golden lion for this wonderful, wonderful campaign. The announcement comes as California prepares for the June 2nd primary

election. with Monday marking the deadline to register to vote for a mail-in ballot, while in-person voter registration extends to May 23rd. Federal officials also tied the case to a broader legal battle over access to California's voter rolls, which they suspect have undocumented residents registered to vote, something California officials have denied. In terms of what the broader electorate thinks about this, it's not the case that folks are

worried about... people who are ineligible participating. Matt LeSignier is a political science professor at Cal State University, Long Beach. He says cases of election fraud are rare in the U.S. amid safeguards like signature verification, Ains says research continues to show that voter fraud has little to no impact on election outcomes. Nationwide, we see this less than two dozen in the thousands of elections that we have across the country. So it is a microscopic rate. of incidents

in voter fraud. He also warned of the difference between voter registration fraud and a fraudulent ballot that actually gets counted for a race. Federal prosecutors have not alleged that fraudulent ballots were cast in Brown Armstrong's case, but when asked about the scope of this investigation, they say it's just the tip of the iceberg. of the iceberg. This is part of a larger investigation. We'll get into all

that, I think, soon in the future. And until more arrests and charges are announced, experts say elections in America remain secure. Yes, secure and safe and effective. They always do that. I mean, it's a ridiculous report. I mean... I've got two more clips, but play this one instead or skip to this voter fraud taxes in L.A. This is a. Twitter guy, somebody, you know... Twitter guy! And some just said local bitching and moaning about the obvious.

So the people of L.A. literally just voted to increase their own taxes. And I don't mean they did that by voting for Karen Bass. No, I mean, there was an actual ballot question saying, hey, do you guys want to pay more in taxes? And the people of L.A. apparently said yes. Now, you may be asking yourself, who the fuck would vote to raise their own taxes? Well, here's how that vote actually went down. So the people that came and voted in person, yeah, almost unanimously. voted

against that ballot measure. They were like, go to wait, you want to raise our taxes? Fuck that. But. Then you had the mail-in ballots. And in the early mail-in ballots, they also voted against it. But the ballots that came in... After Election Day, you know, the ones that were like 65% Nithya Raman? Yeah, they... overwhelmingly voted in favor of raising their own taxes. By the way, they raised it from 9.7. They've raised their sales tax from 9.75 to 10.25. They voted in favor of a more

than 10% sales tax. But yeah, I mean, look, here's the thing. You can argue that it's strange. That so many late ballots, you know, 65% were in favor of Nithya Raman. I think it's even crazier than more than 80% of those ballots. were in favor of raising their own taxes. Yeah, which brings us right back to the very beginning of this episode. You live in a crazy place. I'm not in LA. It's California. California is, it's nuts. Well, I think it's corrupt. Okay. Placed with fraud.

Well... I have a question for you. I have a report. for you and I need to ask you a question about it before you fall into the Pacific Ocean. A new study finds San Andreas has built up more pressure today than in the last 1,000 years, priming the SoCal region for just what geologists have warned about for decades, the big one. You've got to remember, imminent to a geologist is like... in the next century. Iconic seismologist for the USGS, Dr. Lucy Jones, says this study tells

us a lot, but it doesn't tell us everything. It doesn't tell us when the next earthquake's going to be. To understand the future, geologists looked to the past, compiling data from the last 1,000 years and creating this snapshot. The red along the fault represents... historically high pressure built by over a century of calm with no significant quake

to ease the Earth's energy. Unfortunately, there in Southern California, you guys are plagued with a lot of different fault lines, including the sort of the different parts of the San Andreas itself and other faults like the San Jacinto. And it's at that intersection of faults sitting here at the critical corridor of the. Cajon Pass that acts as a gateway through the state, meaning a potentially massive quake

stretching from one end of California to the next. So there have been some earthquakes in the past that look like they went the whole length from south all the way to north through the Cajon Pass and the stress level is extra high on sort of both sides of that right now, increasing the chances that the next... one could actually rip right through that area and be a

larger earthquake overall. A double fault rupture much worse than a single fault event, which we know is still deadly, like the 1989 6.9 Loma Prieta quake in San Francisco, killing 63 people. Well? Your local boots on the ground knowledge of this thousand year stress on the fault? Well, we've been talking about this something going to happen in Southern California for the last decade. Yeah. Yeah. Earthquake wise. And so they're still talking about it. The way I

see it, something's going to happen. It's going to be in the next 50 years. Okay. Yeah, that's a bet would be easy to take. Book of knowledge has been, the robot has been fixed by the robot. Let's ask the question again. Book of Knowledge. Did it require an active Congress to ban tobacco advertising on television in America? Yes, he's back. He's working. Okay. Book of knowledge. If we can actually find anything. According to the book of

knowledge, yes, it most certainly did. The Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act was a 1970 federal law approved by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Richard Nixon, which banned cigarette advertisement. on American radio and television. There you go. Yeah, that means it's never going to happen. Maybe. The cigarette people were never the kind of lobbyists that the pharma people are. Well, they should have. They're just a couple of cigarette companies. They weren't really

selling stuff for thousands of dollars a pill. they weren't lobbying like this, they weren't contributing to the campaigns of the president to the extreme that the farmer people are. This is never going to happen. You just bummed me out. Well, maybe Elon Musk with his trillion dollars can lobby everybody. He can get the president elected, so maybe he can do that. Yeah, maybe. We should lobby Elon. Well, on the topic of California, they might as well

play a little bit of this. You don't want those other two fraud clips? You're good with those. Oh, yeah, let's play those. Let's play fraud clips because these are from ABC. A Los Angeles County woman has agreed to plead guilty to paying people on Skid Row to register to vote. Federal officials announcing the charge against. Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong this week, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The National News does. Jeff Harris

joining us. And according to her plea agreement, we do know Brown Armstrong allegedly worked as a petition circulator for nearly two decades. There is striking social media video. What else is coming to light? So in that plea agreement, Brown Armstrong admitting to working as a paid petition circulator, allegedly targeting the homeless while gathering signatures throughout the Los Angeles area. The bombshell admission coming after federal officials got

their hands on an undercover video. The Justice Department announcing this week Brown Armstrong has been federally charged with and has agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of paying another person to register to vote, including the homeless along L.A. Skid Row. We're committed to protecting the integrity of all American elections at the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, but there needs to be a commitment by

people and leaders here in California. According to her plea agreement, Brown Armstrong, for nearly two decades, worked as a petition circulator, being paid by coordinators to gather signatures to qualify initiatives, recalls, and referendums for California state ballots. She paid the homeless around two or three bucks to fill out voter registration forms, instructing them to use her own former L.A. residence. Yep. Yeah, it's just basically the same.

but reiterated more professionally. I want to play this clip. This is Newsome whining. This is only part of a six-minute rant. Oh, can I do the setup for this? Is this the Justice Department probe? Oh, there's a setup? Yeah, I have a setup. I got a setup. Oh, okay. I got a setup. California Governor Gavin Newsom is accusing President Donald Trump of ordering the Justice Department to launch a politically motivated investigation into him and his wife.

Newsom says federal agents have been questioning his family, his friends, and former employees. The Democratic governor has frequently mocked President Trump on social media. Newsom claims the DOJ is searching for a crime that does not exist. He says he is being targeted for one reason. Okay. You want your whining? Yeah, and there was this, so Newsom goes on the TV and he starts whining. In recent days, federal agents have knocked on

the doors of family, friends, and former employees. Not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one. They're demanding records. They're abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets.

He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president. because he hates that I've consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit. Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt president in American history. He's not going after him anyway. It's after his wife. Yeah, well... You're making $3.5 million a year, and it's not that it's illegal to take most of the money from an NGO or any of these little organizations you start.

It's that they think there may be some tax fraud involved. Oh, I thought it was behest payments is what it's called. Which is, well, that's probably that. too they're looking for something so she's suspicious she seems She seems, I don't know if you've seen her much recently, but we see her here. She seems oddly nervous about, not just since this began. No kidding. But for a long time, she seemed oddly nervous. Hmm. She reminds me of Waltz's wife. Uh... The turning the page woman who is

just like bug eyed and acting really strange. Well, so the way I understand the behest payments is, and you're right, the way I understand it is a... A company can donate money to the governor and it would be for any nonprofit the governor designates. And the governor happens to designate some or all of that money to his wife's nonprofit, which I think is some LGBTQ plus nonsense.

And then, you know, you see that these companies, notably AT&T and Comcast, get huge $70 million, $125 million contracts with the state of California. Yeah. And the fact that he's out there saying this tells me there's something there. Yeah, I agree. He went on and on and on, protesting too much. Yes, don't. You know, if you just lay low and, you know. But no. He's done it out of style. Um, so... Let's see if this is the clip that I was looking for about the screw

worm. All of a sudden, people are starting to figure out that the cartels The Mexican cartels are smuggling 800,000 cattle a year from Central America into Mexico with fake ear tags, falsified records. And this is what's brought the screw worm back to Texas. And I'm telling you, when they really get into it, they're going to. find more than cows they're going to find drugs and people yeah you want a uniform response in some way and this is not what i thought it was this sucks This

is not the clip I thought it was. Yeah, but I've heard that too. Well, we talked about it on the last show, and I heard it maybe from... Texas Slim, I wouldn't be able to say for sure. um And I think we're going to see. Art imitating life in Dutton Ranch from Taylor Sheridan. I think that's where the storyline is going to go. This is going to come out. It's going to be pretty big. And then, you know, what Trump is going to do. He's going to go bomb some cartel guy. Which is what we're

doing now. Well, he's done it before. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's what we're doing now. We're bombing cartel people. I, you know, as an American, I'm kind of digging it. Yeah, let's go blow some people up. Suckers. And an update on the S... SPLC, Southern Poverty Law Center. Oh, these guys. This is great. New details are drawing attention to a former top official at the Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization best known for tracking hate

groups and extremism. It's always worse than we thought. According to the Justice Department's expanding... case against the SPLC, a senior official identified in court documents as employee two, was in a romantic relationship with a confidential informant embedded inside the white supremacist group National Alliance. They didn't just pay him to foam into hate, they told their donors they

were fighting. They actually dated him. The superseding indictment alleges the informant, known as Field Source Number 9, received more than $1 million in payments from the SPLC over several years. Prosecutors also claim employee 2 and the informant shared a home and two joint bank accounts. The indictment alleges approximately... in donor money ultimately flowed into those accounts and

was used to pay the couple's personal living expenses. While the indictment does not identify employee two by name, news reports have identified the person as Heidi Barrick, the former director of the SPLC's intelligence department. project and a prominent researcher of white supremacist movements. This is so good. This is so good. Have you seen this woman? No. Oh, how can I put this tactically? Uh, she could- Tactically, you mean- you mean- You don't mean tactically, you mean...

What do I mean? What's the word? tactfully. Tactfully, thank you. Yes, how can I put this tactfully? The cartels could have smuggled her from Mexico. Well, she looks Spanish. No. She looks like a... Okay, what's her name? I forget. I had it at the end there. Let's see. Let's see. get her new by name news reports have identified the person as heidi barrick heidi barrick Heidi Baric. Look at Heidi Baric. It's like... Yeah, it seems exactly like the kind of woman who would be shacking up

with a Hitler sympathizer. A neo-Nazi. Bovine-esque. Thank you. Thank you. The troll room was helping me out. Yes, that's good. bovine-esque would you would you hire her as a supermodel yes she has a fake ear tag you can okay did you find her No, there's no pictures ever in here. There's some thin blondes that doesn't sound bovine-esque. No. Um... While you're looking for that, briefly... Jeff Bezos doubles down on his vision for AI and I am

all in on AI. With Bezos. I know there's a lot of concern that many people have, including many smart people, that AI is going to make humans redundant and so on. I totally disagree with this point of view. And I think, in fact, AI is going to create a labor shortage because it's going to make it possible for people to identify more. We have an endless set of things to invent and we are only limited today. We are limited not by our imaginations, but by what

we can actually do. I promise you every single person in this audience has had an idea. for a new business or a new product or a new device that they wish they you could manufacture. And that idea stayed in your head. And went nowhere and the reason it stayed in your head and went nowhere is because it's too hard to do and it wasn't worth it And if we can accelerate the dream-build loop, all of the

ideas will then become possible. Dream-build loop, yes. capabilities but by our imaginations i love that too the dream build loop It's more like a gap. The dream build loop. Another Silicon Valley term that I never heard of. Dream build loop. Well, it's new. He's launching something new. Yeah, I think it's good. Might as well. The dream build

loop. It's expensive. Now for the first time, NVIDIA. going to raise 20 billion dollars in debt. Why is this? I don't know. They're making nothing but money hand over fist. Do you think it's like an insurance policy somehow? Like, hey, you know, something's going to happen. We may need some extra cash. Yeah, they might want to have some cash. Yeah, that's possible. Or maybe take some off the table or to buy back shares. I mean, they got to just... Well, if it's used to buy back

shares, that'd be scandalous. Okay, like the circular financing that's going on in this whole industry. isn't scandalous by itself. And then you have this, sorry, Bernie Sanders. Man, he really is proposing. He's falling for this hook, line, and sinker. for the only need is that these guys with a stop for a second don't forget that everybody is falling for the quantum hook line and sinker. Quantum nonsense. Where's the quantum computer? The one that'll do things so

fast that passwords will be obsolete. The, uh... um the scam here which it goes back to when they had that big meeting and And Musk was there, and Ellison was there, and Altman was there, and they had this closed-door meeting with all the senators. Oh, this is so dangerous, what AI can do in the future. It's going to take away everybody's job, and we need special regulation, we have to be

involved in everything. This is the... Holtman was saying with chat, before even the chat bot came out, oh, we can't release chat GPT-2. We can't release that because it'll kill the economy. You know, or, you know, anthropics like mythos. Oh, we can't release that. It was too dangerous. Well, that was, we've already discussed this, that it's part of a marketing strategy. Yeah. So, but the marketing strategy now is. And I think they're all in on it.

I think these guys want it. Please, would you become shareholders of our companies so that when this thing blows, you'll bail us out? We all go down together. We'll go down together or you bail us out. I mean... What is our GDP based on? Currently. Isn't it just... Uh... I mean, GDP doesn't mean... Boeing's Lockheed. Yeah. No, this definitely. But it... Are those the big GDP contributors? Boeing and Lockheed are for sure. Yeah. So that's interesting. So you don't think the A, the Mag 7, the

Mag 7. You don't think they contribute to the GDP? Well, they contribute to the, they definitely contribute to the. The stock market indexes, since they own half, I mean, they're... Well, this is interesting because I keep hearing everywhere, and I don't know, I keep hearing, oh, well, you know, the whole GDP is all built upon the AI companies and the Magnificent Seven. Is that true? No, not the GDP. Getting nothing from these guys. Oh, this is

good to know because I can... Well, they're losing money. How's that a positive benefit for GDP? Well, what is GDP? This is good to know. People don't know this. The gross domestic product. What is being made, manufactured, what's it worth, what's the value? on an annualized basis. In fact, ask the robot, what is GDP? What's the definition of GDP? Okay, we'll ask the robot. Book of knowledge.

What is the definition of GDP and what are the 10 biggest companies in America that contribute to the U.S. GDP? Now you're talking. Now you're talking. Yeah, let's see. It's a multi-stager. We don't know if the robot can handle... It might be too much. We're asking AI about AI. This should be interesting. It's scribbling a lot. Here

we go. According to the book of knowledge, gross domestic product, or GDP, is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a nation's borders over a given period, serving as the primary measure of a country's economic output and health. As for the 10 mightiest corporate titans contributing to that grand sum, the freshly inscribed Fortune 500 list for 2026 reveals the following. Ranked by revenue, one, Amazon, $717.2 billion. Walmart, $713.3 billion. United Health Group,

$448.4 billion. Apple, Toshua. Thus, it has been written. It crapped out after Apple. There you go. Apple sells a lot of phones. That's a real product. But the AI companies won't be listed. What do they produce? Let me ask the top ten again. Book of knowledge. Give me the top ten companies in America that contribute to U.S. GDP. There we go. I just want those to cut off for some reason because it's still a robot. Robots suck. plankers. They're no good. Don't. What? Don't insult it

while it's working. According to the book of knowledge from the freshly inscribed Fortune 500 list of 2026. They can't handle it. Here are the 10 mighty. No, it's going to. it's going to cut out again. I insult, I have to insult it. It's not doing its job. Excuse me, Amazon and Walmart again. Yeah, well Amazon and Walmart would be at the top of the list. It'd be easier to just look it up. Jim Rohn. top 10 GDP companies in the USA. Okay. We'll just ask the

other robot. I'm going to ask the real one. The real one. Walmart, Amazon, United Health Group, Apple, CVS Health. Berkshire Hathaway? Oh yeah. Alphabet at 7, ExxonMobil at 8, Microsoft at 9, and Costco at 10. Where's the AI companies that are killing us? It's not in there. There won't be. They suck. You're right. You are right. But where's Lockheed Martin? Well, that surprises me. Yeah, they're not in there. Yeah, they should be in there. They take

a lot of money. Maybe that's all it is. The top 10 Department of Defense contractors, Lockheed Martin, RTX, that used to be Raytheon, North of Grumman, General Dynamics, Boeing, L3. Oh man, those guys. Wasn't that... L3 guys. Remember they did all the... L3 Harris. That's Harris. Yeah. Lados, Huntington Ingalls Industry, Booz Allen Hamilton, and CACI International. So yeah, so this is bullcrap. So they don't need a bailout. I don't need anything like that. Well, I'm glad

we solved that. We didn't solve anything. I was misinformed. I was misinformed. Well, you were misinformed. That's true. Well, let's listen to Bernie Sanders then. Wait, where's Bernie? Why is Bernie not playing? Oh, here he is. Let's talk about AI. You know, these companies have, you know, Dario Amadei at Anthropic has talked about the potential for, you know, huge unemployment among entry-level white-collar jobs in the next, you know, five or ten years. You're introducing a plan

for the government to use a one-time... Well, Anderson. AI. is the most transformative technology in the history of humanity. It's going to impact every man, woman and child. Right now it is being owned and pushed by the wealthiest people in the world. Mr. Musk, Mr. Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison and others. Their goal is simply more wealth and more power. My own view is that given the fact that the foundation of AI is based on human knowledge, they've

accumulated all of human knowledge. Oh, yes. After 19... You know, this guy is a crank. Must play. even have anything in the LLMs that before the year 2000. Yeah, they do. No they don't. There's a cutoff point. They start putting that stuff in, they get a bunch of racists, they get misogyny, they get stuff that ruins the LLM. Well, the whole thing is that LLMs as a knowledge base is dead anyway. He doesn't even, he's behind

the curve. LLMs are good. He's a crank. People in America must play a vital role in the future of AI. What does that mean? It means that the public should have 50% of the seats. on the major AI companies in order to prevent bad things from happening. You talked about mass unemployment. It is quite possible that over the next decade, tens of millions of jobs will be lost. Yeah, that's Elon's. No one will have to work. It's going to be a great world. All Bernie Sanders

sees is... Yeah, socialism, universal basic income. And that money would be funneled back to citizens in the United States? Right. Right now we're talking about, for a start, a 5% every year. The fund, which we estimate right now would be about $7 trillion. 5% of that would be... Wait, where's he... this money from? I don't know. You're asking the wrong guy. He just appeared. He somehow thinks that there's seven trillion dollars they're going to put in.

We use direct dividends to every man, woman, and child in this country. Starting in the beginning, it would be about a thousand dollars per person per year. If AI is valuable and... grows as quickly as people think it might, that number will go up. In addition, you'll have large amounts of money available that makes sure that in America every man, woman, and child has health care as a human right, that we improve the education opportunities, we

build the housing that we need. So bottom line here is we cannot allow AI just to be used... to benefit the very richest people in the world. It has got to be used to benefit all of us. What do you mean? It's 20 bucks a month. I got a chat bot. It benefits everybody. It's a beautiful thing. It's benefiting the listeners of the No Agenda Show. Yeah, book of knowledge. You've met with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. How'd that go? How'd that go?

Well, I didn't understand what he was talking about. Well, I think Sam is a very good salesman. Yes. But bottom line is, it's very hard to talk with anybody from the industry when they, in a sense, have a gun at your head. So we can chat and chat. He's got a gun to his head? He should, he's been checked for arms. Anybody from the industry should have a gun at your head. So we can chat and chat, but what Sam and the other CEOs of the industry are saying, look, if you want to regulate us,

if you want to protect the American people. We have endless amounts of money in super PACs to defeat you. We are very close to the president of the United States. We were his inaugural. He is a fellow oligarch. And you ain't going to do anything. And I think what we're looking at right now is a grassroots movement, which is taking place. Opposition to data centers, deep concern

about the growth of AI. We're seeing real movement in a direction that says that AI has got to work to benefit all of us and not just a few, that AI cannot be used to wipe out millions of jobs where people have no place. There won't be jobs available to them. So I think we are needing momentum. Nobody has voted for this, which is one of these things I keep coming back to. That's the point. Oh,

wow. To be continued. Thank you. So he should have been around during the invention of the steam engine if he wants to see something replacing workers. It's Jevons' dilemma, man. We all know it. Vance is up there now. Defending the difference between Obama's deal and Trump's deal. Is Vance at the tower? No, no, Obama's still at the party. He's speaking now. He's at the party. He's wagging his finger. Vance is using both hands like he's stroking

something really big. And he's at the White House in the press room. Vance uses his hands too much. He does. He's a little bit like Newsome. But Vance keeps his hands in the zone. He doesn't move. He doesn't go all over the map with him. You're right. He doesn't go all over the map with his hands. Yeah. All right. Well. Beautiful. We've solved most of the world's problems here. I feel much better about everything. Well, they're good. I got a clip that maybe will depress you.

Okay. Probably, maybe it won't. This is kissing in Colorado. Kissing in Colorado. Okay. Well, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but a high school teacher in Colorado

was just. terminated because she had skits in her classroom and in those skits she required students to kiss each other many of them being the same sex and felt really uncomfortable and if they didn't do it she would fail them according to the investigation students were assigned roles in french language skits titled the boring kiss several students alleged that they were expected to to kiss classmates as part of the performance. One student refused and received a

zero on their grade in another walk down. The teacher says she never forced anyone to kiss one another. She did say you could blow a kiss or do a gesture. But no one's really buying that answer. See, the issue isn't just whether students were physically forced to kiss

one another. The issue is that this teacher put these students in a... position where they had to decide in front of their classmates and under the authority of their teacher who controlled their grades whether they were comfortable participating in what a judge described as a personal and sexualized activity. Why is kissing required in any high school assignment? And that was not the only concern. There were allegations

that the teacher shared deeply personal details. about her life with the students, including discussions about abuse, infertility, and suicidal thoughts. There were no criminal charges that were filed, but the district did conclude that the environment did cross work professional boundaries. A foreign language class should be teaching French, not putting teenagers in situations where they feel pressured to kiss one another because of a grape. Wow. Go Colorado.

Yeah, they're advanced in Colorado there. Forced kissing. I have a gripe, man. Tina and I have been looking, because we've watched all the series we want to watch, and we're scanning around on... Yeah, you're on this one thing, Dutton Ranch seems to be your thing now. Yeah, but it's, you know, it's... It's once a week, so we have to wait. Oh, no. Yeah, I know. It's back to the old days. There's no more binging. And so, you know, there's a whole bunch of new series. on

Netflix and Amazon. and every single series, particularly the comedy,

every single one. has gotta have gay guys making out. It's gay guys making out kissing I haven't seen this. Long kissing sequences of gay guys. I haven't seen it on Fox. No, I said Amazon and Prime. Amazon and Netflix, not Fox. Oh, oh. Oh, Fox wouldn't do that. And I know it's Pride Month, but... It's disgusting you. Why don't you just say it? Yeah, it is. I don't want to see it. And it's just like... Yeah, a lot of people don't. But it's... And the writing

is funny. It's a funny show. Well, the writing's funny. But there's always gratuitous gay guy kissing. It's just, I don't understand. Is that such a necessity? Gratuitous gay guy kissing. Yes. Is that a necessity? Yeah. Wow, that's the question of the year. In entertainment. Let's ask the robot. In entertainment. Yeah, there we go. Now we're going to get a real answer. Book of knowledge. Is gratuitous gay guy kissing a necessity for modern television series? Let's see

what the book of knowledge comes up with now. According to the Book of Knowledge, in today's television landscape, series increasingly respond to social demands for queer representation, and it has become a focal point for the audiovisual industry. Though, whether it serves the story or merely the mandate of advocacy groups like Gillard, The gains have often been clustered on a handful of shows, demonstrating missed opportunities to tell

fuller stories. suggesting it is less organic necessity and more institutional pressure. Well, there you go. Thus, It has been written. Yeah, institutional pressure. You want to get something made? Glad. Did you call it GILAD? But it's glad, I think he's talking about. It's glad. Yeah, it's institutional pressure. There you go. That's for Hollywood. Well, Hollywood, I don't

think... Interesting. That's actually an interesting answer. So there's institutional pressure to have gay guys kissing in front of everybody during a series because they want to normalize it. Yes, it's called programming. Yeah, in fact, it's called TV programming to be exact. Now, they don't have gratuitous male-female kissing.

Not that much. Well, you know, one of the things they've noticed during the slowdown in birth rates... is that a lot of it they think sociologically may have to do with the fact that when there was a lot of babies being born, there was a lot of TV shows that had a lot of kids on there as part of the show. They had, you know, the Leave it to Beaver show, Ozzie and Harriet, the Brady Bunch,

and all these shows that have a children element. And it was gratuitous, children element in all these shows, and people said, well, children are kind of cool. Look at them, they're funny. They're hanging around. Let's have a kid. But now it's like, oh, there are two gay guys kissing. Let's find a guy and go kiss him. So I think it's, yeah, the TV people are trying to ruin the country. I'll tell you, you're lucky. Lucky you're not across from me in the same room. I might

have to go for you. Yeah, well, just keep it to yourself. Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the drug cows. Say hello to my friend on the other end. I wish I could kiss him. John C! Yeah, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, I'll ship a sea-boosting raffineer or something to the water. The name is nice out there. In the morning to the trolls in the hotel room. It's obviously vacation. 1291. Wow! Yeah,

people on vacation. Well, obviously that and the fact you couldn't get the bat signal to work. That does not help. And it's still busted. So I'm going to have to bring in the big guns. Somehow to publish this. That's annoying. It's terrible. It happens. You know, it's amazing any of this stuff works, really. I'm truly amazed. that we can talk to each other with almost no delay. It streams out. The pod ping technology, which will work.

This is just a problem on my end. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to my Brave browser this morning. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't know what happened to your brain. It just didn't work, huh? Well, I booted it up, got to the show, and it says, oh, your microphone has been turned off by the browser. Please reset it. What are you talking about? It says, check the icon at the top of the browser, the microphone icon. There's no microphone icon on the browser. So

they upgraded something for your security. They upgraded something and now the Brave browser doesn't work with Cleanfeed. Well, what's bad is that you have to be on edge. That's atrocious. The edge is quite horrible. So the bat signal, when applied, will get you... You alright? your no agenda show within 90 seconds, not just ours, but hundreds of thousands of other shows that use pod ping technology developed over there by the crazy group of podcasting 2.0. Get a modern podcast app. Leave

those legacy things aside, will you? Go to podcastapps.com. Great one for... If you're on iOS, you want to try out Cast-O-Matic. That thing is so good. That's the French doctor makes that. He's a doctor four days a week and one day a week. He works on his podcast, that Franco. Good guy. Cast-o-matic? Cast-o-matic, yes. Only on Apple.

But it's... dynamite products. We are Value for Value. Which is a very simple concept, although difficult for people to implement. We've been doing it for 18 years. It'll be 19 years in October, and the system is thus. We give you the show. Complete. No secret things. clubs, no behind the scenes, no bonus episodes or bonus content. No, we just give you the full show in all its glory for you to do with and to consume it however you want to. There's people who are, I found

this out the other day. on X. Some guy says, your show hasn't arrived on YouTube. Music. Wait, YouTube Music? We've never given our RSS feed to YouTube music. No, I do it myself. You do it yourself, okay? So you're helping us build an audience on YouTube music, and when you go away or you get tired of it, then... then the show goes away for those people. Well done. Well done. Thank you. We had three downloads on

Spotify. They've deplatformed us completely. due to the end of show mixes because they hear music and say, oh, it's music. Music must be bad. Must be bad. Yeah, so

that's not a very good. platform no get those modern podcast apps so value for value is a concept we came up with which you thought would be better than advertising and many people say oh so good you don't advertising you don't do ads uh because you know it keeps you clean of corporate interests and you can't get the you know your money can't get taken away by

the advertisers and that's That's true. But the real reason is Adam and John just didn't want to have meetings with advertisers because those are the worst meetings that we don't even have meetings with ourselves. We're not in the meeting. No, we just, when we see each other, we grouse. We don't even see each other, we haven't seen each other in five years. No, if we saw each other, this show would not be on. be around, I

can guarantee it. There's not a partnership like this in the world that's involved with entertainment in any way, shape, or form that lasts more than a few years because they just get on each other's nerves. You mentioned this to someone on X regarding Cisco and Ebert. Yeah, because they played a clip of these two guys. I met both of those guys. And both of them kind of had a little, you know, a little nothing good to say about the other guy. They really didn't like each

other. They really were irks. I think they did for a while, and then they got on each other's nerves. Yeah. They had slightly different personalities. I mean, Cisco was kind of was, at least when I met him, I don't know him, the guy, but he was hot. He's a nice guy. Both the guys are terrific, by the way. But Sisko was kind of haughty and kind of looked down his nose, you know, kind of guy. And Eber was kind of a goofball. And just fun guy. Are they both stuck? With a lot of opinions. Are

they both still alive? No, I think they're both dead. Yeah, because someone trolled him and says, Ebert's birthday is dead. If the guy's dead, then do we celebrate his birthday? I think he's dead. I mean, he ended with jaw cancer and they took half his face away. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, that sucks. That's horrible. So, um... But yeah, we don't want meetings with each other. We certainly don't want. And if we had to have meetings with each other with advertisers, oh, that's like a tinderbox.

Can you imagine? Because, you know, you'd be like, yeah, we'll do that. Yeah, whatever. We'll take the money. It's not going to be that way. You would. Oh! No, no. Oh. Mr. Cave. Here's a Siskel and Ebert sound clip. Let's see. Why is it? Why do I not hear it? Oh, I know why. Let's do this for a second. You did. It's Thriller Week on Cisco and the Ebert at the Movies and we've got three new ones. And the movies, not at the movies. And that's

why we're doing it this time. Oh! It's Thriller Week on Cisco and Ebert in the Movies and we've got three new ones. Dennis Quaid in The Big Easy, Michael Caine in The Fourth Protocol, and Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman in No Way Out. That's this week on Cisco. And Ebert. and the movies. And the asshole. And that's Rod. And the asshole. That would definitely be me. That would be me. I'm glad we're, this is good. We have a good thing going, John. Don't mess it up.

Ha ha ha! Yeah, people always say, why don't you guys do it? Besides that, who are they? I will mention this. One of the things that people don't, who is kind of inside baseball, but. but cueing each other without visceral cues. When you're in the studio together, you can look at somebody, you can, you know, raise your eyebrow. I mean, there's ways of getting people to. do certain things when you're working with them in the same room to cue them to bring something up or to

do something. We have to do it at a very advanced level. It has to be anticipatory. It's much more difficult to get the cues correct. And we miss them probably. a few times more than we miss them usually at least once a show but generally speaking it's it's phenomenal how good we are don't break your arm patting yourself on the back but yeah um Many radio professionals... have said to me, man, how long does it take you to edit that show? That's a good one. I

know I've heard this comment too. What? What? No, no, no. Live to tape or nothing. We're not doing this show if it has to be edited. No. There you go. Another thing we would never do. Live to tape. It is what you get. What you get, what you see is what you get. And what you see is one way that people help us with value. for valued time, talent, or treasure, and that is creating or prompting artwork for our album art. And we want to thank Blue Acorn for bringing us the artwork for episode 1877.

We titled that Flim Flam, a fine word we need to bring back into the vocabulary, into the corpus. And this was Roosevelt. flipping a guy over his shoulder at the UFC, at the big fights at the White House. It was relevant because we learned that many presidents have been into wrestling. Grappling and wrassling. And Roosevelt apparently once flipped a senator over his shoulder. Do we even know if that is a sh- Historically correct. Did we even check that? We do not know. It could be folklore.

Yeah, well, it was fun anyway. So we appreciate that. Let's take a look at the No Agenda Art Generator, noagendaartgenerator.com. Let's see. Were there any other things that we considered? I think you were complaining there wasn't anything in it. I know that you use the Comics for Blogger Ideal for Hydration Break Polish Potato Vodka for the newsletter. Yeah, Jay picked that. She picked that one. Well, Jay is a good judge of art. Oh, I like the... It wasn't as good as the Roosevelt thing, but I

like the... The Noah Jenner-Kurian Dvorak in the grass in front of the reflecting pool. Because we had a clip about someone peeing. uh 86 47 was kind of okay a lot of we said those ulster says no or those old Those are old. Okay, those are old. What else was there? A couple other. Yeah, you're right. I was, oh, I, I kind of like Trump saying I love, you know, on the, on the White House balcony. With a megaphone, with a banner, I love inflation. But

yeah, that was it. There wasn't much. Do better, people. Do better. You can do better. You know, this is, what's happening here. As we have a break in the dream. Build loop. You got to dream and then you got to build. And if you don't have dreams, then you can't build. So the dream build loop. has to be implemented here for the art. You can do it,

people. There's also a dream donate loop that is also... failing there is now i think it's because of the whatever girls clips that's my personal opinion 50 seconds oh it's not about how long it's just the fact that we even consider it people think we're we're horrible people oh i agree i'm with you on that i agree with you but there are people who take time out of their day To email me. One guy. No, that's the one guy who said, please send this to John

because I can't remember how to spell his name. I'm going to read the note. Oh, you have it there. Good. This is from one of our producers. Dear Adam. Writing in with an opinion instead of a fact, because I think you would appreciate a measure, a measure of the pulse of your listener base. You talk about getting emails all the time where people rage quit your show because your opinion on Israel is wrong or whatever.

I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to quit the show based on your opinion because your show is one of the only shows with actual sincere, honest, and interesting opinions that don't. just fall in lockstep with politics. Whether you guys agree or disagree. with me on some subject. I know it's sincere and I know it's at least a useful perspective, so I'm not going to get upset about it. Follow this. The follow this is to say that I'm not upset enough to stop listening,

but... There's always the big but. Yeah. I am legitimately annoyed. I just wanted to write in to let you know, or rather to let you to let John know. That in the five years that I've been listening to your podcast, the only segments I have ever skipped are the whatevers. girls As a guy who's pushing 40 and hasn't been on a date in 10 years. Here it comes. Listening to a bunch. This is it. This is it. This is his real problem is right here. Start that segment over again. I will. It's not about us

playing the girls. It's this. No, he's irked. because of himself. This is a self-inflicted wound. There's a guy who's pushing 40. and hasn't been on a date in 10 years. listening to a bunch of stupid girls who already have made more money than I'll make in my life. does not cause enjoyment for me. I'm just going to

keep skipping that section. I'm not going to quit your show or anything, but since this is a useful data point, I thought I would write in and let you know that I might actually be a... that it might actually be affecting listener retention. I don't like that segment, and I skip it every time it comes up. And that is the only segment I have ever skipped on your show, signed the 40-year-old guy who hasn't been on a date in 10 years. Thank you for reading that

again, because... This That part of it broke my heart. That part of the email. I heard that, I'm like, oh. Yeah, I completely empathetically felt his pain. And I bet a lot of men are like that. You know, dating is over. There's no dating. Yeah, you know it is. There's only it's hit the skids it it has and it broke my heart to hear that like oh So his real problem is not with the segment And you look these things up. So has he ever donated? He's, I, I, well, normally I do look him up.

I did not look him up individually, but I... I pretty, I wasn't, it wasn't the kind of letter where I'd look him up so he said, oh, he doesn't donate or doesn't care. So I didn't look him up, but I'm pretty sure he's donated. I personally think it would have been better if he sent in a donation with this note. Yeah, then we would have read it. Yeah, even if it was by Reddit anyway, but we It would have been guaranteed red. Oh, yeah. If it was $50, it wouldn't matter how much you donated. Well,

$50, I don't know. Yes, yes. $300 would help. *laughs* But that, now I understand the real problem. The problem is... that he hasn't been able to get a date for 10 years. 10 years. And now he's listening to these women who I guess he would like to date them. We're not. I'm trying to make the connection between how... Well, I don't think he wants to date me. He's just irked that they're rich. Although, believe me, half of them aren't. No, they're not. This is a random

group of girls and a lot of them don't. you know, just dipshits and some of them are only fans of dummies and some of them make a lot of money and some make millions. I mean, it's a huge range of... of women that go on that show and a lot of people. Here's my advice. Here's my advice. You got to get one of them Darren O'Neill deals. Darren O'Neill has a deal, man. wife works and he does like shows he's just podcasting He does a rock and roll pre-show, he does a show with Larry, he

does a show with Gene. He might cook. I mean, he might cook. I don't know if he cooks. People who cook always brag about it. But the Darren O'Neill deal, I'd like that. I'd like a Darren O'Neill deal. That'd be fantastic. Can you imagine? You'd love it too. Imagine Mimi was bringing in all the dough. Well, that dog kennel, though, you should franchise that. The dog kennel. The dog kennel. Yeah, we should. We have a reason. The problem is it's a personnel situation. The only reason

the dog kennel works so well is because we... Just like an Elon Musk, we lucked out and got a guy that's a lunatic about dogs, and, you know, he can run that kennel. I mean, that's the hardest thing in the world is still personnel. Yeah, and what is the kennel index? Is it full? It's always full. The thing's always full. Oh, you know, I mean, full in the way where... It's overloaded where it's probably full. Yeah,

I'm guessing. Check it. We need to understand. We should just blow it up and we'd get more money into the show. Darren is telling me in 31 years, my wife has made about 10 meals. There you go. But maybe they eat out a lot like you. We eat home. all the time. You're always saying, you got any dinners? Any dinners coming up? Any dinners coming up? Yeah, I'm always saying that. So here's the story. I got

a story for you. Because you go out to dinner with these local famous people and they usually have some inside scoop for us. So here's a story. You want a story? You want a fun story? A Fredericksburg? I'm always looking for a Fredericksburg story. Lightens my day. So the Fredericksburg ladies. There's two of them. And they're both in their 80s. And they are like whippersnappers. And these women are fantastic. I love them. They're funny. They're kind

of, you know, borderline. Whippersnapper specifically refers to a young person. But they're, okay, if you have an 85-year-old who is just hilarious and sharp, a bit like you, hilarious and sharp, only a woman. Only woman. How do you describe that woman? Sprite. No, it's more than that. They're still wearing blue jeans. Lively. They're wearing blue jeans that they wore when they were 18. They're tight. And they're funny. And both their husbands are billionaires. So there's this

group of women, like six of them. And. They're always doing birthday parties for each other. Oh, my goodness. The birthday parties. Because it's always who's invited. It's like middle school. Anyway. So... And I'm leaving the names out because it just protects the image. It sounds like Palm Beach, but continue. No, it's not at all like Palm Beach. You would never know. that they're rich. You would never

know. But how you find out is when one of the two billionaire ladies said, hey, let's all go to the house in Vail. you So that's a clue, right? It's a clue. Yeah, kind of. We'll meet you at the airport. Tuesday at 1030. So I, and this is a little airport here, the one where I take off from. and drive up there. There is a... Cessna Citation Excelsior XLS. Like a $20 million airplane, net jets. It's, you know, everyone's driving up to the plane. You know,

it's like top notch. They had to pre-order their lunch for on the plane. I've never been in a plane. Maybe once. And so I was like, this is pretty awesome. Of course, dudes weren't invited. And so they jet off to Vail. The very next day. What happens with NetJets? The very same plane crashes and burns in Laredo. first accident net jets has ever had in their history. And now they're all like, should we drive home? I'm like, no, no, no, no. The chances of that happening

are impossibly small. Yeah, so there's the rich lady story. This is rich white lady problems. Shall I take the net jets home? Or shall we have the Bentley drive us home? There's your story. Yeah, that would have been good if you had some cli- to go with it. If I had a clue. The Blanco Lario channel. Or Captain Steve explains what happened. I will say, I think that the pilots on that net, they did a great job with that emergency landing. I don't know what happened

to the aircraft. We probably won't know for a while. But they rode that thing all the way down onto the highway. Six people. One perished, sadly. But to have five people survive a crash of that magnitude? Amazing. Those guys did a great job. I mean, it sucks, but I'd like to know what happened. This is not the kind of plane that should have that happen. Anyway, no billionaires here and not for a long time, but we do have many people who love our show. and probably

are dating. I don't know and they love supporting us and they do that with the treasure of the time talent and treasure and now we have an entire family

The Milligan family. And they come in with $1,000. They even added the fees. So it's $1,000, $1,030.26. And as you know, above $300, not only are we guaranteed to read your note, but we'll also give you the executive producer credit, which is good anywhere. Hollywood recognizes these credits. IMDB.com. $200 or more. Associate Executive Producer. And so they're also going to be, well, they have a whole note here. This is for a red knight order of the

heart. Bob. Can I interrupt you? Yeah. There's only 10 slots left. Oh, okay. It's ending. All right. Very good. Wow. Because we're out of pins. We are. We're going to be out of pins after ten more red nights. It's all over. So the Milligan family, they're from Elko, Nevada. Bob celebrates this June his post. C-A-B-G. cabbage see cabbage Heart surgery. It's his ninth birthday of his post-cabbage heart surgery. 70th post-utero trip around the sun this Juneteenth.

His 46th Father's Day and 47th wedding anniversary. Wow. He feels honored that the federal government is created a holiday in his honor. And we are formally requesting the peerage committee to grant his night name of Sir Coach Bob the Builder, Lord of Wild Horse and Slayer of Fish. I think that one's available. If Lord is deemed unacceptable, we humbly request Master. I'm okay with Lord. Are you okay with Lord? Lord of Wild Horse? Yeah, sure. Yeah.

His family humbly requests in his honor home-brewed lager and smoked trout for the round table. That's what that smell is. and the Reverend Al mix up with a goat scream. as they always crack him up. In addition to his red knighting, he also requests a healthy de-douching. Oh, let me get the de-douching machine. You've been de-douched. As he has been a man overboard for not donating in a long time. This is from his wife, Kelly, of 47 years, his kids, Jake, Becky, and Matt, their spouses,

and nine grandchildren. He can thank his sons for hitting him in the mouth. 15 years ago, the family that no agendas together stays together in the morning from the entire Mulligan family. And we have a brand new Sharpton first time we're playing it. Of why they're having these fights on the White House law and the UFO and all, whatever they call it. You've got. That's our new one. That's our new one. It's also Milligan, not Mulligan. Did I say Mulligan? I meant Milligan. Yeah, he did.

I didn't know you took up golf. Manuka Gold comes in from Hudson, Florida. 33333. From Manuka Gold, we're happy to... continue to support the show. Ah.

Relief gel for all orders over $49 at ManukaGold.com through Father's Day. And you can add a note if you'd like to send Dad a gift. It probably won't get there by Father's

I have been listening to the show for well over a year, but this is my first donation to your wonderful cause.

D-douching, please? You've been d- I wanted to thank you both for the time and effort you both put forth in these shows. As perfect as it is, no other podcast in the podverse will match your banter analysis and humor that you guys bring. It was a blessing to discover your podcast. I'd like to know how you did. How did you discover the podcast? It's always good to know. For marketing purposes. Yes. And I look forward to

hearing many more episodes to come. I would like to shout out to the greatest father I could ask for. Jeremy Brogan as it's his 52nd birthday today, June 18th. Dad, your incredible mentor, a kick-ass... chef and a perfect role model for how to be a good man. Thank you for all the lessons you've provided me in my 23 years being here on earth and I look forward to many more memories to come. Karma for all, Connor.

Oh, what a wonderful note. You've got karma. you And coming in hot with $206.18, because that is what he always does, $200 and then the date, Eli the Coffee Guy from Bensonville, Illinois.
