Oh, you gotta be careful with dialing your knobs. Adam
Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, June 14th, 2026. This
is your award-winning Give-A-Nation Media Assassination Episode 1877. This is
no agenda. Calling offsides! And we're broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in... Good
morning, everybody. Curry. northern Silicon Valley where they're using Gila
monster poison to lose weight I'm John C Dvorak Yeah,
hello, eight months ago. Everybody knows this. Hello? Well, they're
making a big fuss about it now. They were making
a big fuss about it then. It just came back.
It's a recycle. Recycle. What was it? What's the noisemakers?
You're back home, that's why. Oh, I got a noisemaker!
Oh, people! Bing, bing, bing, bing! I discovered a bunch
of stuff cleaning up. So I got this. webs. you
What is that, Spider-Man? So Yeah. Okay. Hello, child. I
don't know where I got this. I... I've never even
heard that one. I haven't either. That's what surprises me.
You probably had it for years, didn't even know. This
is what happens. There was one woman, Sharon, I think
was her name. She kept sending me sound effect devices.
This is what happens. Then she stopped. I think we
lost her. She's overboard. This is what happens when you
let your wife redecorate your house. Was she in your
room? Not yet. Or maybe. Come on. Okay. Wow. Enough
of this shenanigans. Hey! Go Team USA! Paraguay 4-1! A
good match. A good match. Yeah. Thanks to our alien
player, the black guy who's the only talent on the
team. Well, he was born in Brooklyn. I thought he
was born in Nigeria. No, he was born in Brooklyn.
Uh, grew up? In the UK, I think, but his
parents are from Nigeria. Okay. So he's a boy from
Brooklyn. But yes, he's definitely... He sounds like a Brit
when he talks. Well, it's because he grew up there.
And so here's what I've noticed because I haven't really
watched... Football. Which, by the way, it turns out that
soccer... Actually, the English use that in the... you know,
a hundred years ago, they used the term soccer. And
I couldn't figure out. Was it about the game? Yes,
because you had football. I thought it was about their
relationships with their women. No, you had football, which was
rugby. But then you had association football, ASOC, SOC, so
people would call it SOC. As an association, soccer appeals
to notice. I'm surprised that you're talking about this when
the Knicks just wiped out your San Antonio team in
another pathetic loss by the team that seems to be
born to choke. Born to choke. It's Cuban's team. I
have a love-hate relationship. It's not Cuban's team. That's the
Dallas team that's Cuban's team. No, no. He has the
Spurs. What are you talking about? Wow. Are you telling?
You heard it, people. Who does he have? The Dallas
Mavericks. Oh, the Mavericks, right. Yeah. Oh, well. Screw him
anyway. I got a real laugh out of you on
that one. Oh, boy. So let me go back. Yeah,
because it was one of those flip-around gags. They're pretty
hard to pull off. So I just want to say
a few things about the match. We don't call it
a game. We call it a match. And by the
way, the boy from Brooklyn, that last goal off the
outside of his boot. See, I've got all the terms
back now. Because it's not a shoe. In football, it's
a boot. Okay. So I see what they've done. You
know, the biggest problem I've always seen with soccer in
America is it's not advertising friendly. kind of solved it
in two ways. One, the digital signage, that's just great.
They've got someone riding that thing. They're switching it up.
It's all coordinated. It's all over the stadium. It's very
subliminal. I think that works well for the advertisers. The
second thing is they've instituted. the uh hydration break Which
is not a thing in soccer. Oh, we're halfway through
the first half. Everybody needs a hydration break. In other
words, time for commercials! It's so obvious what they did
there. Well, it will never get as pathetic as it
was watching the NBA game, where every time they took
the ball out of bounds, there was 10 minutes of
commercials. Well, yeah. Can you turn on your speakers just
a tad? A little bit of slapback coming through. But
here's the thing that... that really threw me. Because part
of the game of football... is The referee, you know,
he makes calls. You go yell at him. You know,
everyone, big protests. That's part of the game. Now they
have the VAR. Which is the video... The Daughters of
the American Revolution? Not D, V, as in Victor. Oh.
The video assisted... referee So... this one the one team
for paraguay the one player he's like oh oh he
he kicked my shin oh i'm laying on the ground
and they do the slow-mo and it's obvious the guy
never even touched him so first the the american player
got a yellow card for kicking the guy in the
shin, which didn't happen. Then somewhere in the booth somewhere,
someone calls down to the ref who also has a
camera on his head. Ref cam. He says, hey, man,
we're calling a tech on that. So then the ref
runs over to the sideline, looks at the monitor. sees
that nothing happened and for the first time ever in
any world cup He takes the yellow card away from
the American guy and gives it to the Paraguay gay
guy. Good. But it's kind of, it's not right. It's
absolutely correct. This flopping is ridiculous, and that's what soccer's
known for. It's part of the game, and you're supposed
to... be able to say we lost because the ref
was no good. That is part of the game. Yeah,
well those days are over and they should be. And
our, where's our, where's our, um... Where's our coach from?
He's from Mexico City, I think. I'm not sure. Here's
a, I guess, short clip here. We won the game.
No, it's worse than that. Here's the president wishing them
good luck. Brand new video of President Trump wishing the
team good luck moments ago. Mr. President, Andrew Giuliani, how
are you? Hi, Andrew. Well, I'm standing in front of
26 champions and a great coach, Coach Pochettino right now.
They're ready to go and run through a wall. So
I'm going to give you to Coach Pochettino and the
captain. Hi, Mr. President. How are you? Well, I just
called to say you're a fantastic guy, a fantastic coach,
and you're all about your record, and you're Success and
I know how great the players are. is I just
want to wish you all the best. Thank you so
much for your support, Mr. President. We are going to
do everything to make proud you and all the people
here in this country. Yes, okay, thank you. Whatever he
just said. Oh, wait, let me get this straight. So
they win one lousy game. And the president gets pulled
into it. Because this is the only game they're going
to win. The American team traditionally stinks. This was before
the game. Oh, it was before? They don't even win
a game in the President Against Johnny Dumb. Why are
you so unpatriotic, man? What's wrong with you? I'm just
not a soccer fan. Well, you don't have to be
to just say go team USA or go, go. Okay.
I'll say it. Go team USA. Now get off the
stage. So the guy who keeps predicting the winner of
the world cup, I forget the guy's name. He has
predicted that. Then America will win. you And just one
more sports ball nugget. The Dutch king, who was a
huge football fan. He has problems because now Curaçao, which
is a Dutch province. has a team, they qualified, they're
in there, and he has his wife who of course
is Argentinian. So he has three teams he's gotta be
rooting for. I mean, this is a problem. So you
don't like sports at all, and somehow you're suckered into
this soccer scene, and you've been yakking about it now.
Why? What happened? Come on, explain. Well, I've been taking
testosterone. So my tea is up. I thought your tea
was down. That's, which would more likely explain it. Yeah,
but no. No, I have a new, now I have
a new, a new. tablets, dissolvable tablets under your tongue.
Okay. This is my last foray into the tea. I'm
not doing shots, okay? I'm not going to do shots.
Just know this is lame. Jello shots. If it was
jello shots, yeah, I'd do a lot of that. Anyway,
right. as we're getting ready for the
The deal to be signed any minute now, any minute
now. Oh, yeah. BBC reporting that Israel has attacked Beirut
again. These guys. If that's really true, I don't see
it on any other on the quad screen, but if
that's true... *BURP* Trump will not be happy. It's about
time we attack Israel. Yeah, we got to do something.
Those guys are trouble. They keep mucking up the deal.
It's no good. Did you see the chorus of brass
that was out over the weekend about this deal? I
mean, everybody had generals and vice admirals and colonels. and
guys from CENTCOM. No? Well, I have some clips, but
I didn't notice it was anything. Beyond the ordinary. I...
I don't typically see that many coming out. Um... General
Kane. And the message is, well, the Iranians are no
good. We should keep bombing them. Here to discuss the
feasibility of this, retired four-star general, Fox News senior strategic
analyst, chairman of the Institute for the Study of War,
General Jack Keane. General, I know... Jack Keane's no good.
No, of course not. This is on Fox, where Fox
had all the warmongers on. Notice that the Iranians aren't
pushing back so aggressively as they have in the past
after the president said we were close on a deal.
Do you read anything into that? No, well, I think...
It remains to be seen where we are. I mean,
you can tell... This guy's from the... Institute of war.
Well, I think it remains to be seen. The institute
of war. From Iran, I mean, their comments are always
inconsistent when it comes to a deal. You've got people
saying they're compliant, you have other people in the government
saying they're not. So it's going to take some time
to ferret out what we really have here. It's not
inconsistent at all. Say what? What he described is... inconsistent
at all. One side says this, the other side says
that. That's very consistent. Yes. But listen, we're not at
this point without the military operation that President Trump ordered.
He knew he wasn't making much progress with these guys.
And two nights of military operations with the promise. certainly
gave them added leverage. And I think as we go
forward, we're in early stages here. Remember, it's taken us
two months to get here after the ceasefire when the
Iranians said they were going to negotiate the opening of
the Straits of Hormuz in two weeks. So we have
to have some... patience in what we're dealing with here,
right? And we have to be very clear-eyed about what's
happening. Because what the Iranians say and what they do
are two different things. All right, so let's go to
CNN. uh cnn really want uh us to lose everything
it's just cnn and ms now they're just like We
should be the losers. We should be the suckers. This
is what we want. This is where it's going. Trump's
no good. Iran declaring victory this hour. The foreign minister
going on TV tonight to make this declaration. We are
the victor of this battlefield. The Islamic Republic of Iran
has emerged as a victor. This is the sort of
propaganda you might expect from the Iranians, but it actually
happens to be something a shipping executive I spoke with
tonight backs up. The ship's stuck in the strait for
now a long time. He told me, quote, unfortunately, the
White House, the U.S. are losers. Well, who was the
name? What was the name of the guy? Why don't
you have him on? Dude, this is what I don't
like. Well, this backs up what some guy told me.
And the guy said, you know, we've had a ship
out there for some time. So we're losers. That's CNN.
That is very poor reporting. But that's what we get
constantly. What was I looking at this morning? Someone sent
me a note. It was actually, I think the oil
baron also wants us to lose. I don't know what
he's doing. The oil baron. Uh, here, this was from
Bloomberg. This is how, this is what Bloomberg write. Uh...
Iran pushed back on U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion an
interim peace deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was
imminent as an Israeli strike on Lebanon posed a potential
new risk to any agreement. And then they have the
Islamic Republic said an agreement with the U.S. would not
be reached by Trump's suggestion. deadline of Sunday, Iran's semi-official
Fars News Agency reported citing an unidentified official close to
the negotiating team. What does that even mean? As a
friend. As of Friday, Iranian Supreme Leader... Motaba Kameni. hadn't
agreed to the text of the so-called Memorandum of Understanding
according to a person familiar with the matter. Like this
is not reporting. This is just hearsay. I know, I
know, it's crazy, right? What? What? Gambling? And so... I
still haven't heard from the oil baron about these, you
know, 100 million barrels of oil. I think everyone got
signed because I know that his partner has been to
the White House and is part of the oil roundtable,
whatever. I think they were all signed to NDAs about
this. Listen to this. We're taking out millions. Whoops. I'm
just announcing today for the first time, but we've been
taking out millions of barrels. of oil, millions of barrels
every night. That's why it's at 85, 90 dollars a
barrel instead of 250. He is an expert, Phil Flynn,
Fox Business and Focus with me now. Phil, great to
have you. If you could just walk us through what
the president's announcement means for oil markets and why price
is actually good news, not spiking higher in the U.S.
right now. It's absolutely great news. And I think people
really have to credit the Trump administration from averting what
could have been a major economic crisis. The way that
they've snuck oil out of the Strait of Hormuz by
the cover of night is something of legend, right? It
reminds me of the American Revolution sneaking over the Delaware
in the middle of the night. But you know what?
People in the industry have been watching this, and we've
been seeing it on the oil side. That's why the
markets have been going crazy. We have seen these tankers,
you know, through these different satellite images, you know, going
through the straits. So the word was out there, you
know, but I don't think it was coverage. I think
because loose lips, you know, sink ships. They were told
that they were told to shut up about it. It's
clear now. That's why the oil baron wouldn't answer me.
Well, that's your thesis. You don't know that for a
fact. Well, but I'm hearing the guy saying we all
knew about it. We were watching it on the satellite.
Loose lips sink ships. That's exactly. That is a shut
up mission. Now, of course, I don't know that for
a fact, but now that it's all over, maybe... But
you don't even know if it was actually... if anything
actually happened. Okay. Sure. Why don't you play some clips?
Because you're not going to be on my side on
anything today. It started, I know I started you off
wrong with the football. I'm sorry. Ah, you apologized. Yes,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. No, I'm just...
Think there's a lot of flim-flam going on? and it's
getting on my nerves. - Oh, okay. - And you
know, so this, that, yeah, we did this, we did
that, and now we're doing this, and now we're doing
that. It's just like... It just bothers me. So let's
go with the BBC. I got BBC coverage here. This
is... It bothers him, ladies and gentlemen. It bothers me.
Please stop. So, let's go to BBC Flim Flam. BBC
Flim Flam. President Trump has said a deal with Iran
is scheduled to be signed on Sunday and will be
followed by the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz
to shipping. His comment came hours after Iran cast... doubt
on whether the signing would happen so soon. In a
social media post, Mr Trump insisted the agreement would ensure
Iran could never get a nuclear weapon. Thomas Morgan is
following developments from Washington. It was really interesting how much
he mentions the nuclear program in Iran in that post,
even though in this memorandum is actually not a Part
of that, what it says in the memorandum, is that
the strait will reopen, there'll be a peace truce between
the two countries, the US blockade will lift, but in
terms of the nuclear program, what it says and what
the deal says is that they will continue negotiations for
60 days. If I might point out, um... Flimflam is
a phrase we should use more often. Where does this
even come from? You have a source of knowledge sitting
right next to you. Oh, a book of knowledge. Okay.
Book of knowledge. Book of Knowledge. What is the etymology
of flimflam? The book of knowledge is always there ready
for me. Let's see what he comes up with. Oh,
it has to go back a long time in the
audience. According to the Book of Knowledge, Flim Flam emerged
in the 1530s as a contemptuous echoic construction, likely from
old Scandinavian origins connected to Old Norse Flim, meaning mockery.
The word first entered English as deceptive nonsense in the
second half of the 16th century. Flim flam, there you
go. It has been written. It's mockery. So it's a
very old term. It's from the 1500s. Well, so are
you. So it's an old term. It still applies. possible
show title, I think, now.
Yeah, it's actually a pretty good thing. Okay, back to
the BBC. Now we have the deal signing BS clip.
So, once again, it's been a day which started with
optimism. Talk of some kind of agreement between the US
and Iran being signed on Sunday. Only for that hope
to be... Very much left uncertain, with Iran denying that
anything would happen quite so imminently. We have, of course,
been here before. Indeed, President Trump has made a habit
of announcing that agreement with Iran is close. This time,
however, it's not just the White House which is talking
up the prospects of success. As my colleague Parham Khabadi...
from the BBC's personal service explained to me. What we
know so far is that they're really close to signing
a deal. Why? Because Americans are saying it, Pakistanis are
saying it, and even Iranians are saying it. But what
we don't know is that is it going to be
signed really tomorrow? Donald Trump thinks so. He posted on
his social media saying that it is scheduled for tomorrow.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif also mentioned the same thing.
However, he said that it is going to be signed
digitally. So there is no photo opportunities that Donald Trump
usually likes. And Iranians, they want to deprive him of
that photo opportunity so that he cannot claim victory. Regardless,
what Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson has said that there is
no... signing tomorrow. And we are not traveling anywhere, neither
to Geneva nor anywhere else for tomorrow. Iranians are being
more cautious about the timeline and to give the exact
time and date of signing. Why is that? Maybe because
they haven't finalized it yet or maybe because of the
Iranian hardliners. They don't want to create an atmosphere inside
Iran to give opportunity to Iranian hardliners to criticize the
governments. I find it interesting that Qatar all of a
sudden is at the table now. I mean, I knew
the Pakistanis were doing it, but now Qatar is showing
up. Those guys may not be any good either. Well,
they're on the other side of the Strait of... Or
Moose. Yeah. So they figure they should have something to
do with that. I don't know. Maybe Tucker will represent
them. Ah. I got one more clip from the BBC,
which is this one kind of gives away something. I
thought this analysis was pretty good. It's possible that this
is meaningful. It's about the. funeral of the of the
dead of the dead yeah this is good hold on
a second uh here it is yes another development which
we've been hearing about in the news is that iran
has now said that the funeral of the late leader
ayatollah ali khamenei will take place next month now they
had delayed this apparently because iran did not want his
funeral to take place in the middle of a conflict.
So if they're now saying it will go ahead next
month, I'm wondering whether we can read into that that
they expect the conflict to be over by then. Yeah,
it might be because they think that by then they
should have overcome this conflict and this conflict, you know,
they've reached at least some sort of a kind of
rapprochement with the United States. So there's no direct military
combat going on. But the fact is that he has
not been buried for almost four months, over four months,
by the time in three weeks' time that they're going
to bury him. And his son, who is the third
Iranian Supreme Leader, has not been seen in public, and
nobody has heard his voice. in the meantime so are
we going to see him appear for the first time
during the funeral as well because that might be one
of the key factors in the equation as well because
his son has never been heard or seen in public
so maybe that's the time we're going to see him
for the first time or maybe not ah well so
first of all i have a follow-up clip to that
interesting how things come together on this show rapprochement Why
are we still using French words for deal? war. rapprochement.
It's more of an agreement. Yeah, okay. MOU. Reprochement. Memorandum
of Understanding. actual date, according to Fox News, is even
funnier. Supreme Leader's funeral happening on that day. Is there
a message in there somewhere or is that reading too
into things? It's unclear. There was an original time frame
that this was going to happen in the early part
of this month and that maybe it slid. There is
an ongoing conflict in that country and in that region.
So perhaps their preps got a little thrown off. Yeah,
unclear if it has anything to do with the 250th
anniversary, which the planning and preps for is very noticeable
around this city. July 4th, those bastards. Yeah, good catch.
I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the
day for finding that one. Oh, thank you. You would
catch it. Ah, the BBC, that day. They don't like
that day. They don't want to bring any more attention
to July 4th than is necessary. I have one last
clip, which is the NPR rundown. It's kind of their
update of the whole thing. Let's see. NPR rundown. I'm
not seeing it. What is it? This is... This Iran
deal update NPR. Both the U.S. and Iran say the
signing of a peace deal is imminent, but disagree on
when it will happen. President Trump says it'll happen tomorrow,
but a top Iranian official doesn't think it will be
that soon, as NPR's Carrie Khan reports. Trump posted that
a deal to end... fighting between the U.S. and Iran
is, quote, scheduled to get signed on Sunday. And he
added that the Strait of Hormuz, a key transport route
for the world's oil and gas supply, will be, quote,
open to all. Pakistani officials, who have been key mediators,
said a deal was expected within 24 hours and would
be... signed electronically. But on Saturday, a spokesman for Iran's
foreign ministry said a deal was coming, but, quote, we
will have to wait and see about the exact date,
adding it will not be Sunday. Neither side has provided
details of an agreement. Other than Iran would open the
strait, the U.S. would lift its blockade, and the current...
ceasefire would be extended for 60 days. That 60 days
meme, I don't know if that's true. I keep talking
about that. And there's a 24 billion they keep talking
about. This will kind of wrap it up. ABC had
their version. And as you'd expect from ABC, it's like
the whole thing was ridiculous. And we're right back where
we started. started with Obama. The two sides appear to
be closer than ever to a deal to end the
fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Senior White House
correspondent Selina Wang is in Washington with the details. Selina,
good morning. Yeah, good morning, Witt. And this is the
strongest sign we've seen yet that the U.S. and Iran
are getting close to an agreement to end this war.
A senior administrator. immigration official telling us there's an 80
to 85 percent chance a deal is signed in the
coming days and Iran's foreign minister says an agreement has
never been closer as for what's in this deal that
U.S. official says it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz
that critical waterway and lift the U.S. blockade but look
this is just a memorandum of understanding would still have
to be hashed out over a 60-day period. The official
says the deal, quote, leads to the dismantling of Iran's
nuclear program, the U.S. taking the enriched material, destroying it,
and removing it from the country. But there's no specifics,
Whit, about how all of that would happen. And, Selena,
what more are you learning about what Iran would do?
get out of this deal? Well, potentially a lot. The
senior administration official says if Iran holds up their end
of the bargain, they'll get relief from crushing economic pressure
and reintegrate into the global economy. That could include relief
from U.S. sanctions and $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
Something really important to keep in mind as we talk
about all of this. Trump says Iran will promise. I
love that. But here's this is NLP. That was pretty
good. But here's something really important to keep in mind
as we talk about all this. Listen to me. Listen
to me. Listen to me. That could include relief from
U.S. sanctions and 24 billion dollars in frozen Iranian assets.
But here's something really important to keep in mind as
we talk about all of this. Trump says Iran will
promise never to build or obtain a nuclear weapon. But
that promise is not new. In fact, it was in
the very first paragraph of the nuclear deal negotiated under
President Obama, a deal that Trump tore up and still
repeatedly criticizes to this day. He tore it up and
he's doing the same thing. He's no good. War of
choice. Yeah. Poor choice. I'm thinking the July 4th funeral
date. I think that's correct. You know, my thesis has
always been Trump gets it. That's what I'd do. Yes.
But Trump's probably happy with it. Yeah, go ahead. Do
it on July 4th. Who cares? We're going to have
bombs bursting in air, jets flying over, vanilla ice. It's
going to be fantastic. We got everything here in America.
You're not going to see anything that's happening. Who cares?
We're going to see some people in the street. We're
carrying a casket like they always do. They use stock
footage. We've seen that so many times. Then it'll all
be cleared up and just before, just before the July
4th holiday, gas prices go down, everyone's happy. Yeah, I
can see it. I can see it. Well, that would
be good timing. I personally don't think they're going to
get the gas prices down in time, but okay. Well,
they're already down here. Here. Oh, I'm sorry. What am
I thinking? I shouldn't even be making any generalizations. I'm
in California. Yes, correct. I saw it's a diesel price
around the corner. I'm afraid to even guess. 825. Oh,
man.
crazy. That's a lot. Well, speaking of California, real quick.
I mean, it looks like Spencer Pratt has the goods
on your mayor that, well, you're not in Los Angeles,
but on the mayor in Los Angeles, do you see
his threat video? I've seen all his videos, yes. Former
reality show star and vanquished L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt
under a menacing music bed unleashing a vitriolic two-minute long
video. Whoa, that was, this is a good piece. Vanquished,
and then what he said? Spencer Pratt under a menacing
music bed. Menacing music bed. Unleashing a vitriolic two-minute long
video. The top two voters, Mayor Karen Bass and City
Councilman Nithya Rama. And now every problem that plagues Los
Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to
accelerate. It's more interspliced with movie clips. Pratt predicted his
loss would result in a rapid dismembering of the social
and economic fabric of the city. And he claimed. of
a private conversation involving one of the two candidates, of
such a nature that its disclosure would force them to
resign from public office. So Karen Nithya, ask yourself, is
it possible that one of your employees may have a
recording of you doing or saying something that would force
you to resign in disgrace? Wouldn't an FBI blazer They're
busting the door, breaking open your office, because I assure
you, they're coming. I'm... Shades of Tom Arnold. I've got
the pee tape. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly it. He probably
doesn't have anything. Well, let's see, there's one follow-up short
clip here. Former L.A. County Su- is with UCLA's Luskin
Institute. He predicts most voters have moved on. People are
tired of the yelling and screaming, and we saw that
in the governor's race. One of the reasons Javier Becerra
emerged as a leader is people were tired of candidates.
behaving like children. As for Pratt's claim that he has
a secret recording. Talk is cheap. I don't take it
seriously. Can I tell you how many times people said,
oh, we have recordings of you? No, it's I think
it's just designed to make news. I do get these
all the time. I get emails all the time. We
have recordings of you. I broke into your computer. I
saw you on your webcam. I saw what you were
doing, looking at adult websites. Send me a Bitcoin. Yeah.
You get that all the time. Yeah. Yeah. I always
say semi-copy. It really flies when you drive a gunny.
camera on your machine. Send me a copy. Yes, give
me a copy. I'll make some money off of that.
I could use it. I need the proof. Yeah. So
then we have the big UFC fight. Yeah, that's going
on, should be going on now, shouldn't it, or is
it tonight? No, I think it's... No, they're doing it
tonight. Oh, man. I really like this idea, personally. UFC
is such a huge sport. um As far as I
know, the whole UFC idea is kind of uniquely American.
Not the techniques and, of course, all the... fighting comes
from derivatives. But I mean, Correct me if I'm wrong,
but this is a huge American pastime watching UFC, right?
Well, this began, this is not an old sport, so
you can't call it a pastime. I mean, I think
it... began in earnest about. 25 years ago, maybe. there
was a i think there was two competing operations and
the the initial thinking with ufc was this was during
an era 25 or 30 years ago when everybody was
taking different kinds of karate, Brazilian karate and jiu-jitsu. And
there was this thinking, which of these sports would be
the most dominant if they were facing off in a
real head-to-head match with no holds barred? Yeah, right. And
it turns out, after a few of these matches, that
it turned out to be wrestling. Grappler. Get the guy
on the ground and start pounding him. Yeah. But if
you, the first, just to get anecdotal here, because I
saw some of the first videotapes because it was not
on television. Right. It was taped and passed around. Some
guy was a collector of these. It was at carnivals
and back rooms. Well, I'll tell you. The original UFC
fights from, and I don't know if it was called
UFC at the time, but the original fights where they
had these guys, one guy would be a karate guy
and the other a boxer. They'd go after each other.
One guy would jump the other guy, knock him to
the ground, get him in a position, and then start
pounding his nuts. as hard as he could. over and
over and over with extreme force until the guy, if
the guy could even manage to tap out because he
was in such pain. That's what I mean. A real
American sport. That's the one that's going to pound your
nuts. Yeah, and so they had to ban the pounding
of the balls because these guys were being, you know,
basically. Basically never could have children after this. And this
was the early going. And then they changed and they
made rules and it became a little more like boxing
in terms of us, you know, being having rules that,
you know, what originally was no rules. It was you
go for it. Well, I have I have three short.
clips of response from the usual suspects. Let's see what
they think of it. We start with PBS David Brooks.
David, do your Sunday night plans involve being at the
White House for a UFC match by chance? Well, I'm
actually an active participant. I'm going to be fighting with
Jonathan. That I would like to see. Could you imagine?
What do you make of this? Well, I first thought
of, like, who are the artists John F. Kennedy brought
to the White House? It was like W.H. Auden, Robert
Frost, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein. And now we've got cage
fighting. Don't anybody say America's in cultural decline? Well, he
also brought in Mayor Monroe and a whole bunch of...
Dixie was banging, but don't anyone talk about that. Let's
not mention that. MSNOW. You're reporting yesterday for MSNOW how
Trump and his allies could profit from the UFC fight
at the White House. And you report in part, Trump
purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock in
UFC. parent company shortly before announcing the event last year
according to a May financial disclosure he's holding a 1
million dollar per plate fundraiser for his top super pack
the night before the cage match. It's his birthday let
him do what he wants. Tonight and Trump. What did
Obama bring in? He brought in Jay-Z and Beyonce and
had all kinds of fundraisers. Officially designed, officially designed a
line of Trump X UFC Freedom 250 medallions, which are
selling for... $250 to $12,000. What in the grift is
this? What in the grift? And when it comes to
those coins, some of those profits are going to go
to the president's licensing company. Now, the White House says
that his sons run the Trump organization businesses, but it's
not in a blind turn. any of his stuff in
a blind trust the way past presidents have traditionally done.
to the American people. And you just... This guy is
so good. Calling it a gift to the American people.
Yes, it's a gift to the American people. Is it
free, by the way? Is it pay-per-view or is it
free? Well, you're asking me. I don't know. Yeah, you
don't know. It was a troll roommate, no. defended the
spectacle, calling it a gift to the American people. And
you just got to hear this bizarre comparison he made.
When President Kennedy announced that we were going to put
a man on the moon and return him safely to
the earth, no one thought that was possible, and we
did it. We are a nation founded on doing what
no one else dared to do and no one else
aspired to do. And at some level, that's what this
whole company, what UFC has been. Wow. Isn't that good?
Rubio's the best. He nails it. On some level, that's
exactly what happened with this. It was like a moon
shot, man. ...safely to the earth. No one thought that
was possible, and we did it. We are a nation
founded on doing what no one else dared to do
and no one else aspired to do. And at some
level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has been.
Laura Burhan-Lovess and Aidan McLaughlin are back with us. I'm
going to just leave that alone. I'm going to leave
that alone. All right. Now, what I learned, though, from
NBC is that wrestling is a very... very long presidential
history. 13 former presidents were wrestlers, including Dwight Eisenhower and
William Howard Taft. Even George Washington was known to grapple,
according to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. And a
young Abraham Lincoln is also said to have been victorious
in hundreds of matches in his day. There's only one
recorded instance. in which Lincoln lost a wrestling match, that's
the kind of a president you want. And Teddy Roosevelt?
As a president, he learned jujitsu and actually threw a
senator onto the ground. I'm sure other presidents would have
liked to do that themselves. I didn't know this. Go
Teddy.
Hip throw you. Yeah, see? We got weak somewhere along
the line. Our presidents were badasses. Hey, Senator! You know
we golf? Ha! Golf! I'm going to, I'm going to,
when did the golfing thing start? Did that start with
JFK? He was a golfer, wasn't he? No, Eisenhower was
a huge golfer. Oh, Eisenhower. Okay. I know Roosevelt wasn't.
No, his wife was. I don't think anybody else was.
She had other qualifications that were put in the lead.
I think it was Eisenhower that really made it happen.
It was good. It was good. Well, we're on top
topic of... personalities uh elon musk is a trillionaire yes
he is yes good work on paper yes uh-huh And
so I thought I have two clips that I thought
would celebrate this. One is the Elon Musk supercut of
everybody on MSNBC, CNN, and the rest of them. saying
what a dummy he is. This dude. is probably one
of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or
seen or witnessed. Being a freeloader and a selfish and
disrespectful one, and for misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes,
Elon Musk is the absolute worst. The world's richest freeloader
evidently has a very thin skin. Elon Musk kind of
turned out to be a... And I don't want to
be driving a car. built and designed by Elon Musk
is incompetent. He's incompetent. He's a thief. He's a Nazi.
Musk is a pathological liar. He's a criminal. Wow. He's
a sociopath and a ghoul. I cannot say that someone
like Elon Musk is an intellectual. Really what he's up
to is, you know, snorting ketamine and tweeting it all
hours of the day and night. The guy's a joke,
right? He really is a joke. The more I hear
him talk, I'm... astonished at how dumb Elon Musk is.
But look at what he did with SpaceX and Starlink
and all these companies. He's got to be somewhat intelligent.
The more I hear him talk, the more I'm like,
holy fucking shit. This dude tripped over his dick. and
became successful. Wow. Who was that at the end? I
don't know. That one last guy, I don't know who
it was. But I do have a clip. This is
the Musk. Hold on. Hold on. Before you go there.
The Verge. You know, The Verge. Oh, yeah, The Verge.
Well, they wrote this article. Let me see if I
can find it here real quick. Yeah, here it is.
The world's first trillionaire is a killer! He's a killer?
Yes. Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO will probably make him the
richest person ever to walk the planet. And while his
mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one
fact in particular stands out. A year ago, Musk's actions
directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of
people, and he did it knowingly and worse, gleefully. So
they... claim here, according to a Boston University professor who...
did some research. 780,000 deaths, mostly of children, many of
infants, due to the USAID cuts. Oh, brother. Musk is
personally responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands. The
Verge. That is pathetic. What happened to The Verge, man?
They've always been sketchy. No, that's pretty bad, though. Like,
geez, give me a break. All right, so I just
wanted to add that. Yeah, it's pretty slanted. So this
is, you know, Airy, the guy on, is it CNN
or MSN? Fleishman? Yeah, that guy. And he's with Thomas
Friedman, the Nobel Prize guy from the New York Times.
The economist, yes. The Economist. And so they're going to
go on and on about what a dumb... This just
came out. And it's like they're still harping on Musk
being kind of a dummy. Is there something in your
view that is wrong, that is immoral, with a certain
level of singular wealth? accrual whether that's a billion or
10 billion or now today's the first day we'd ever
say it should a human have a trillion dollars while
people starve Well, it certainly seems immoral. You don't have
to be a believer in perfect equality to think that
there's something kind of obscene. about this much wealth along
with this much suffering oh man okay Wealth and suffering.
It's his fault. It's on paper. Meanwhile, you know, yeah,
I know. But meanwhile, this much suffering, the people are
starving. These guys won't say anything about the fraudulent learning
centers. and the fraudulent daycares and the fraudulent food programs
that nobody gets the food, which is really where people
are starving. Well, not only that, but the Department of
Justice announced a huge investigation with arrests, which I think
everyone who was interested in. The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein
would kind of be interested in this. More than 475,000.
Unaccompanied children enter the United States. during the Biden administration,
475,000. over 300,000. cannot be accounted for at the end
of 2024. The way that this happened was typically because
the criminals calling themselves sponsors trafficked these children to the
border, usually committing fraud to do so. And oftentimes the
children were abused, assaulted, and certainly exploited. In some cases,
individuals would sponsor multiple children, which required them to lie
to government personnel and on government forms, claiming they were
close relatives when in fact they were not. They would
use fake or stolen identities. and make other false claims
during the application process in order to obtain custody of
the children. I think I'm stating the obvious, that when
government fails to protect our borders, it is the most
vulnerable who suffer. Yeah, but there's no outrage over this,
or over this one particular... I also want to announce
today from the same district in Ohio, the Northern District,
the sentencing of another criminal illegal alien who was convicted,
also from Guatemala. He was a 27-year-old man who came
to the United States smuggled in a 14-year-old child by
submitting. false paperwork and lying on the forms, claiming to
be her brother, proceeded to sexually assault. This young woman.
And these two cases, well, only two, help explain how
what was going on is really the stuff of nightmares.
Yeah, and not to belabor the point, but here's... A
clip from DHS Secretary Mullen. Because of our partnership with
HHS and DOJ, Department of Homeland Security. Truly using the
best of the best, which the Democrats sometimes want to
demonize because a lot of times this is ICE, this
is HSI, this is CBP. These individuals that the Democrats
seem to want to defund, we found 146,000 kids so
far. 146,000 kids. We still have nearly 300,000 missing. We're
investigating reports to where Some of these kids. claim that
they were raped six to seven hundred times. I don't
care who you are. I don't care if you have
kids, if you don't have kids, I don't care if
you're a liberal, you're independent, you're a Democrat, you're a
Republican. If you can't stand... for law enforcement to go
find these kids. Who are you? A Democrat. Who are
you? So, no one seems to care about this. I
thought that was... No, they don't care. In fact, they
encourage it. Well... I mean, you can't say that. I
mean, that's not true. But it seems as if it
could be. So there's this theory, and I won't say
I got it from... Texas Slim, but it did. It
sounds like a Texas theory already. And if you watch
Dutton Ranch, we talked about it. That's another Taylor Sheridan.
a series And what will unfold in this series, spoiler
alert for anybody who cares about it, is that... the
10-petal ranch, they are using... cattle operation because they have
Mexican crossbreeds, not Texas Angus, but Mexican crossbreeds, which they
bring up from Mexico. And they use that to smuggle
drugs and people. And... I've received enough information about this
to think that there's something to it, and that's probably
where the screwworm... stuff comes from. because there's so much
cattle being moved from south of our border. that not
everything is investigated. And they put drugs in the cattle.
They've got compartments where there's people, could be children, could
be all kinds of stuff. We're going to see that
this will be the biggest scandal while, you know, our...
Our ranchers are being screwed over. the uh this all
this crap beef from south america and and mecca is
coming through mexico coming up and is being used as
giant gigantic smuggling carrier vehicles. And I think, wow, man,
that's... totally possible that they, because you know, there's so
much
Much cattle, they're not going to go into every single
cattle car and check every single, you know, everything out.
It's a perfect cover for it. I'm not saying I
heard that from anybody. By the way, Texas Slim wants
everybody to know that after six years on the road...
Thousands of handshakes with ranches across the country. It's going
to pull back and return for a little bit to
where all this started. He's resting for 21 days. He
will be okay. But if you don't hear from him,
keep an eye on his ex account. He'll be back
in about three weeks, so he's going to be okay.
He's going back to the source of the seed. Anyway.
I think we'll see, we will, this is where, um,
DHS and all those guys should, they should pay attention
to the, to the beef industry. And if maybe some
smuggling is happening through that. As the gossipy women in.
No, no, none of the women here say. Now on
the SpaceX IPO. Uh, I have to say... Wow, well
executed. They did this so well. I don't know if
you were following any of it. Yeah, of course. So
the price was set at $135. But they were, I
mean, you know, because typically they were just running the
book, getting the book all jacked up, pre-market. It was
like 170, came out 150, which is. So well done.
I think it was... Morgan Stanley, I think they're the
stabilizer. So you've got all these banks, like people unloading
their shares. They'll buy them up so the price stays
high. All those SpaceX top employees are wearing green shoes.
Did you hear any of that? No, I didn't know
about that. Well, you know what a green shoe is?
It's a shoe that's colored green. Yeah. So the green
shoe is named after the green shoe company in 1960.
They had an IPO. Every IPO has a green shoe,
but this one was interesting. So the green shoe means
if the price stays above a certain point for 30
days, there's an extra tranche. of shares that can be
sold that the insiders hold, which would be the people
who literally were wearing green shoes at the IPO. You
could see them, oh, they're wearing green shoes. The interesting
thing about this is it's $11 billion worth of shares
with zero fees going to the underwriter. Somehow Elon got
that. put together. So if they can keep it above
150 for 30 days, there's another, just a nice cash
bonus for everybody. It was so well done. And I
think it'll be okay. People are focusing more on rockets,
rockets, and not on the XIA. xai part But I
think very quietly the bubble... popped Yes, I think it's
popping. Would you like to... You'd like to hear why?
Yeah, I'd love to hear why. Okay. So it started
with the... You know what happens when a bubble pops,
right? Yeah, it goes pop. And kids cry. Yeah, a
lot of kids cry. I think it's... I really believe
it's still... It's happening. And I'll just tell you why.
Anthropic and OpenAI are waiting for their public offerings. And
their entire model is built on charging people for using
their stuff. And we all know that the model there
doesn't work. People are paying maybe 10 or 100x less
than it actually costs. And there's all these data centers
and there's hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers.
The first... Clue came from the Apple WWDC. I think
they still call it a keynote. Now the whole thing...
It's like lame. Oh, we've got liquid glass and you
have this. Who cares? But, and then, oh, we fixed
Siri. But forget Siri. Siri is just the front of
what's happening with the hardware that Apple is building with
their own silicon chips. This is a... the guy who
co-founded Siri before they sold it to Apple. And I
think he's telling us what is happening. sort of a
data cap, if you will, which I assume you can
probably buy out of. But it gets to this idea
of the utility relative to the cost. Do you think
they're going to find a way to, I guess, strike
that balance for the consumer? Yeah, I think 80 to
90 percent of every query that you're going to use
as a consumer. you'll be able to run on an
on-device model, which means you have essentially a data center
in your pocket. There you go. You got a data
center in your pocket. This is where Apple is moving.
And then we had this. strange thing happened just on
Friday with Anthropic with their incredibly dangerous model mythos now
renamed Fable 5, where they withdrew the model from use.
Anthropic marketed their latest product as dangerous. That's come back
to bite them. We are complying with the government's legal
directive and are removing access to Fable 5 and Mythos
5 for all users. Just days ago, the... artificial intelligence
company rolled out its most advanced chatbot, Fable 5. It's
meant to be a safer version of Mythos, an AI
model it withheld from general release, claiming it posed significant
cybersecurity risks. In recent weeks, Anthropicus insisted on more industry
oversight, even enlisting the support of the Pope, and floated
the option to pause advanced AI developments. Right now, it's
like the AI industry has a gas pedal, but it
doesn't have a brake pedal in the car. And what
we're saying is we want to do some of the
work required to build that brake pedal so we in
the world have an option. Now the US government has
ordered Anthropic to suspend access to Fable and Mythos for
foreigners citing national security concerns. As a result, it's been
abruptly disabled for everyone. It escalates a dispute with the
Trump administration, which began when Anthropic insisted its tech should
not be used for lethal autonomous weapons. Anthropic is run
by an ideological lunatic who shouldn't have a sole decision
making over what we do. It's also an escalation in
American efforts to stop China from accessing advanced AI and
catching up in the race to control the all-important technology.
Okay, so I think that Anthropic made a very, very
bad mistake here. So people were, you know, you could
select your model, you got your Opus 4.8, your Sonnet,
whatever, and there's... Fable 5 and everybody's like, oh, this
is great. We're using it because of course it's not
dangerous. This is Chad GPT-2, they said, that was going
to kill everybody in the world. Nothing has happened. No
one's lost it. Yes, people have lost their job, but
overall, more engineers are being hired. There's all kinds of
things that are just not turning out to be true.
with this very scary AI. But if you are in
enterprise... and all of a sudden your model goes away
that you've been using, that you've built something on, you're
going to think twice about this. And so the all-in
pod, yes. I have to bring some clips from the
all-in pod. Yeah, I have to. As an aside, Jason
Calacanis is a great Bernie Sanders. He really nails that.
It's not in this clip, but he really nails it.
So... uh What's happening is Anthropic is now looking at
your prompts. Not just your prompts, but your entire context
window. and deciding if you should be able to use
a model or not. which, you know, they could censor
you out of a model if they feel that, oh,
you're asking about DNA or chemical processes, you may be
a terrorist, bloop, we're going to turn you off of
that model. And nobody wants this who's running a business
and relies on it. I think that it creates... A
pretty obvious risk now. And I think that obvious risk
is twofold. One, is anthropic has essentially shown their hand.
which is that they will increasingly Take in props. evaluate
the prompts, and decide what to do with them before
they generate output to you. And I think If you
were a person, you should generally now think there's a
risk of censorship. If you're a company, I think it's
almost a non-starter. And the reason is because you could
accidentally trip one of these things. without even knowing it.
A downstream scientist using the quad APIs could trip it.
A business executive inside your corporation could trip it. A
person doing scientific molecular research could trip it, and all
of a sudden, you'll get cut off. from a very
important source of business differentiation for yourself. So I think
if you take both of those two things together. We're
at this very unique moment in time where I think
companies need to start underwriting. this next phase of AI,
which is, how do I have control? Who am I
allowing to learn off of all of this information? Do
I want to have single point of failure risk? With
respect to AI, And I think the answer is that
you need broad diversity and a governance approach that's better
managed. So all of these guys in this all-in pod,
you know, David Sachs, who was the crypto slash AI
czar, that was Chamath. He's some Silicon Valley hotshot investor.
Of course, there's J. Cal, who doesn't love him. And
then there's this dude, Freeberg. And I'm not sure who
Freeburg lives in.
California and he has a company that does DNA exploration
on plants. He's trying to build better potatoes or something.
But he sees exactly where this has to go and
how it actually doesn't benefit American companies. It benefits the
Chinese. Over the last couple of weeks, they've begun to
restrict. the ability to use the models to do that
work. And the premise is that there's some sort of
bioweapon type risk that folks have theorized could happen using
these tools. And as a result, we're losing the capacity
to use these models for this very important scientific development
work. As a result... we are likely going to end
up needing to use open source models and run them
locally ourselves. So the reason I walk through all of
that is so people can really understand the context of
what's going to happen here. As folks like Anthropic say,
hey, we're going to restrict access or censor the output
of these models, it is going to force companies like
ourselves. who still want to take advantage of the capability
of these LLMs to go and get open source tools
and run them. And what are the best open source
models today? They're Chinese. Yeah, they are. And that is
a major concern. The American open source models are not
as good as the Chinese open source models. So the
restrictions that Anthropic and others are putting upon themselves... upon
the industry is forcing a lot of companies to go
and get open source Chinese models and run them. We're
seeing this across the landscape with startups, with large scale
enterprises. Everyone's making that move. And it's true. If you
look at YouTube, there's hundreds of videos, 15 minutes to
an hour long, people explaining how you run this on
your computer. can run models on your phone, how you
can build your own chat bot. It's not that hard
to do actually. And they're all saying, well, we can't
trust Anthropic. We can't trust any of these things. And
these models are pretty good. If you just want a
chat bot that can do searches, it's very easy to
put together. But it's this last one, David Sachs, who...
who flags what Anthropic may really be trying to do,
which I think is stupid if it's true, but they're
trying to build a moat around what they have by...
Cozying up to the government saying, we need regulation. You're
missing one piece of it, which is at the same
time that Anthropic was... engaging in mandatory surveillance and nerfing
its models. Dario wrote a new blog post. Oh, gosh.
saying that transparency was no longer good enough, that we
needed to have a new regulatory agency like an FAA
or maybe an FDA to approve all models. So your
presumption there is correct. Yes, if you could go somewhere
else. to get your questions answered, then you would have
alternatives. But at the same time that Anthropic is engaging
in this potentially anti-competitive behavior, they want to restrict your
options. It's not good enough for them just to win
in the free market. They're calling on the government to
regulate and stop potential competitors. and limit the number of
models that you have access to. And why would they
do that? Why would they want to get regulated? The
answer, super simple. They want to apply that regulation to
open source, which is impossible. But this would be a
great way to scuttle and sandbag open source models because
they don't have the ability to be regulated. preemptive strike
against token maxing on your local machine. So my thesis
is that people have seen it. People have seen the
success you can get with an open source model running
on your Mac Mini, running on your iPhone, running on
your Linux. It can run on anything. There's a lot
of movement towards that. And this is what we always
see in computing, only this is at hyperspeed. You go
from centralized to decentralized, from decentralized to centralized. And I
think we're already going into decentralized mode. before these guys
can even get public. Someone's going to report on this
on CNBC at some point. People are going to go,
hmm, what is really happening here? Let's listen to this
clip from NPR on how Anthropic got banned by the
government so I can put it in context. Anthropic abruptly
shut down its latest AI models after the Trump administration
banned the use of those by foreign nationals. And here's
John Rewich reports. According to a statement from Anthropic, the
government's directive cited unspecified national security concerns. It ordered a
suspension of access by foreign nationals to Anthropic's Fable 5
and Mythos 5 models. That includes foreigners inside and outside
the U.S. and even foreigners working for Anthropic. The Mythos
AI model has been a source of buzz in recent
months. Anthropic decided not to release it to the public
in March because the company believed it could potentially help
hackers exploit computer security flaws. So it came up with
a workaround. Fable 5, an advanced model with extensive safeguards,
was released this week. Anthropic says it thinks the government
is concerned that there may be a way to jailbreak.
the model to get around those safeguards, but Anthropic says
it disagrees with the ban. Okay, I have thoughts, but
you wanted to put it into context and give comments.
No, I don't have any thoughts. Tell me your thoughts.
Um... First of all, it looks like the Trump administration
is purposely trying to blow something up. This, let's start
with the bass. This marketing hype of, oh, Mythos is
so dangerous, we can only give it to the top
five biggest banks under Project Glasswing. No one else can
have it. Then they release it with guardrails. But they've
done tons of experiments with the same prompts for free
BSD vulnerabilities, and all the other models found the vulnerabilities
too. So it's not like they have something super special.
They don't. And when, you know. I'm not I haven't
seen the exact order or request or what it is
by the Trump administration, but they could solve that in
multiple ways. You know, it's no different from a bank
account like, OK, we need to know your. customer are
you a foreign national let me check your record show
us your id etc even then that's kind of wishy-washy
But then they turned it, that was the mistake. They
were all just going to turn it off. I think
those guys are crazy. They never should have done that.
They should have at least fought that, but they didn't.
So they want to build some. kind of moat around
their super dangerous stuff. but it's really having the adverse
effect. People are like, oh, okay, QEN 3.6 works fine
for me. I get the same results. All it's doing
is building tools and using web searches. The corpus is
no longer important. It's just not. You get your open
model. You can adjust the weight. You can put whatever
you want in there. I think it's maybe a slow
leak then, but the bubble is going to pop based
upon what's happening here from the data center to the
desktop and in your pocket. short now. Oh wait, they're
not public. Well, you said the bubble popped. Now you're
saying it's... Leaking. Well, pop. People didn't hear it pop
yet. I think I saw this. None of this makes
sense. Well, if it doesn't make sense, that means there's
probably something we don't know. Well, the thing I know,
I've been working on it with it extensively, is these
local models work very well, and if a pod... Podcaster,
disc jockey, VJ can figure it out. Other people can.
I watch the YouTube video. I like the way you
do that bit. I'm just a podcaster, man. Podcaster, DJ.
VJ. VJ. Oh, yeah, VJ. Who's always been kind of
a nerd. Yeah, but everybody's a nerd these days. Look,
you can just go watch a YouTube video. The guys
explain exactly how to do it. Like, oh, I click
on this, I click on that, I download that, and
now it's working. That's what the whole OpenClaw thing was.
It does a lot of good stuff on YouTube. Yeah,
I should do a YouTube channel. VJ Hacking. Anyway, that's
just my thoughts. Okay, well, good. Because you have so
many opinions, I have to give you this. It's not
an Ask Adam. But I did a three by three,
even though he says two by two, I don't know
why that happened. Three is just a typo. It's the...
It's the stuff they use to put you to sleep,
man. That stuff. I talked about these before. These are
the openers. Let's do the jingle first. Now it's time
for 3x3. Experiment by CD. Confirming stories from ABC, CBS,
and NBC. Okay, these are the three biggest stories. These
are the openings of the three networks for Friday's show.
Friday's news shows, the Amish, you know, Tom Yamas and
the rest of them. Yeah. I want e- I want
you to pay careful attention because there's... The main stories
that took place were the Knicks upsetting. Yes. Not the
game that just played yesterday, but the game before. And
they must be becoming a trillionaire. Tornadoes in the Midwest.
And one or two other stories. It turns out that
they're not as matched. as you might think. They're not
even close to being the same length. ABC stretching it
to over two minutes. Yeah, it's long. And CBS keeping
it short at 120. They have more ad load. And
so I want you to tell me which is the
best. because my opinion has always been NBC's done the
best job, but after listening to these three, I can't
say that anymore. And the blend is totally different from
network to network. Let's start with the long one with
ABC. Tonight, the severe storm threat for millions as we
come on the air more than...
90 million on alert from the Midwest into the Northeast.
That's very good. You start, we come on the air.
That's urgency. It's well-written. I like it. Start with death
and destruction with the storm. Very good. Come on the
air. More than 90 million on alert from the Midwest
into the Northeast. A tornado watch across multiple states. Pounding
rain, violent winds into the 9th and through 10th. Lee
Goldberg is tracking it all. hours after President Trump threatened
a major escalation in the war in Iran, his sudden
about-face calling off new military strikes. The president now says
a deal with Iran could be in place as early
as this weekend. and rock an entire neighborhood, a massive

A famous song inspiring the name of her brand. And
the miracle comeback. After being down 29 points against the
Spurs, the faces of the Knicks fans tell the story.
Wow. PISCINU Okay. This is World News Tonight with David

was going to say, where is the human interest story,
which is typically lost puppy found. kitten in the tree
something that warms your heart we got Dolly Parton we
got the Knicks you know after we had the Knicks
destroy the city then we had they did the Knicks
twice in this tease but they did the horrible story
and then the kind of uplifting story everyone likes an
uplifting sports story what caught my ear was Dolly Parton's
coffee brand based upon a famous song. I've not heard
it, but I'm just guessing. Is the song Jolene and
she sings caffeine? No. It's funny though. Caffeine. Caffeine. Caffeine.
I love caffeine. That's what I would have done if
I were naming her coffee. So they got, they covered
pretty much every, thing except where's Elon Musk's trillionaire? No,
it's not in there. Good catch. It's not in there.
No, wait, this was from Friday night? Yeah. This is
all from Friday. This is all after the trillionaire thing
happened. Should have been in there. Should have been in
there. Okay, which is next? Well, let's go to the
next longest one, which would be NBC. Breaking news as
we come on the air. They also, as we come
on the air, I don't think I've heard him say
that in two different reports. And we need to start
doing that. They're all doing this. As we come on
the air here for your pod. Breaking news as we
come on the air. President Trump saying a deal with
Iran could be signed as soon as... The president announcing
the deal is almost finalized and that he's called off
another round of strikes set for tonight. What Iran is
now saying about this deal? Tornadoes tearing across the Midwest,

wild with protesters. Outside the stadium. Our series, The Cost

The mystery on the National Mall. Giant numbers, 86-47, imprinted
onto the grass. Is it a signal against... President Trump,
White House cage match, our first up-close look at the
octagon ahead of the big UFC fight this weekend. And
there's good news tonight, the biggest comeback NBA Finals history,
sending famous fans like Jimmy Fallon, Larry David, and Taylor
Swift into a frenzy. Nightly news starts right now. This
is NBC Nightly News with Tom Yamas. Okay, analysis here.
I love how their music bed has so much tension
when it starts off. But they don't have, like ABC
had symbols and crash and they had now. pops and
all kinds of stuff. And after you hear that... Well,
they did have a couple of nat pops during the
tornado thing where you heard someone in the background say,
oh my God! Yeah, yeah, some of that. But what
happens is... The music bed gets in the way of
that at a certain point because it... If you can't
continuously be telling me about death, destruction, we're all going
to die, we're coming on this news at this hour,
then it gets boring and then you kind of lose
interest. And they should have shifted the music when he
says, and now some good news. You know, do something
different there. So that's just my opinion as a television
producer. They did have the World Cup mentioned, which ABC
did not mention. Yes, that's correct. Which is good news.
And no Elon. And they did not have Elon. No,
no Elon. Yo, Elon! Yes. So we have, so you
can see there's a slight difference. editorial room where they
make these decisions is varied enough that it's kind of
entertaining to try to see what one, like the Phil
Mickelson story was not in the ABC report and it's
no place else. And in a Medicare breakdown. And Yamas
doesn't have that intensity. I like Yamush. Yeah, but I'm
just saying. If I would have said, take this back,
recut it, boys, it's not good enough. Now, CBS, I
haven't heard these, obviously. CBS has been really good with
quick nat pops and quick words from people in their
reports. So I'm curious about their news. They're open. And
are they coming on the air at this moment? We'll
find out. I'm Matt Gutman in for Tony DeCoppo. you
at least one person killed and 10 wounded in West
Texas. The moment a storm chaser saved a man trapped
under the rubble of a collapsed house. Tens of millions
in the path of potentially dangerous storms and brutal heat.
SpaceX blasting off in an historic stock IPO, making Elon
Musk the world's first trillionaire. Why some are concerned about
the unprecedented wealth and power in one person's hands. That
possible peace deal with Iran looking more likely tonight. Iran
says an agreement has never been closer. But will it
actually happen? What the president is warning tonight. World Cup
fever spikes. The U.S. men's team faces. Katy Perry starting
the party at the opening ceremony. We have a bond
that we think no one else can break. From CBS
News Headquarters in New York. This is the CBS Evening
News with Tony DiCoppo. Okay, bad start because they didn't
come on the air at this moment. Very poor. They
should have at least replicated that. I agree. I love
how they brought in early. Early, they whipsawed you by
saying, you know, destruction, tornadoes, how a storm... chaser save
somebody's life? Yeah, okay, I'm interested. Then they went into
Elon, good, and then immediately contrasted that with he might
have too much power. But then what was this with
the twins at the end? The whole thing fell apart.
What was that story? Their story at the end is
the human interest story. which they tease, only ABC and
CBS tease the human interest today, because NBC usually does,
but they didn't on... on Friday. It's just a lame
story. Steve Hartman is the guy that, you know, is
like Charles Kuralt used to be on the road and
he's out, you know, Charles Kuralt, of course. two families,
famously. Yes. And he was on the road so he
could go. Which was just... Honey, I'm home! Yeah, I'm
home, honey. I gotta go on the road again. Can
you imagine? There's a lot of people like that, though.
You keep hearing those stories. I guess.
It seems like a lot of work. It seems like
way too much work. One family is more than I
need. Thank you. I just thought it didn't, but it
missed a lot. It didn't have anything about the Knicks.
No. uh it didn't have anything about it was weak
it was very but he had the main story the
main stories were i thought tornado musk Tornado, Iran, those
are the three big ones, and then World Cup is
optional. I don't know. CBS was the worst. I really
thought ABC was the best, even though it was long.
I thought it was the best. they really packed it
all in for me. I thought it was the best
too, except that it left the Elon off. So let's
listen to the top of the show on MS Now,
shall we? Because this is the one story that none
of your 3x3s or 2x2s even had, and that is
this. And for that, we switch to Circleback Saki. So
this was the crowd that gathered outside of the Kennedy
Center this morning. To watch as workers set up scaffolding
to strip Trump's name from the building. No one had
Trump's name being stripped from the building. There were people
out there watching at night, standing there, waiting, waiting, waiting
for this. Yes. Online, literally millions of people, we've talked
about this already, watched the live streams for hours, which
is remarkable. Given the big action they were watching was
basically scaffolding being built. Now in person, there were cheers,
there was a drag queen, there were bubbles. Who says
D.C. isn't fun? There's lots of fun people here. Why
do lefties, I wouldn't call her Democrats, but why will
lefties... Always associate arts with drag queens. and bubbles and
rainbows. Why? It annoys me. It really does. It annoys
me. Yeah, I guess it would. It would annoy anybody.
like quite the party. And there to celebrate her victory
was Democratic Congresswoman from Ohio, Joyce Beatty. You see, the
reason any of this is really happening today is because
Joyce Beatty is on the board of the Kennedy Center,
and when Trump's new appointees to that board added his
name to the center, she sued, arguing that legally, an
act of Congress was required to rename the building. And
last saying, quote, "Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name,
and only Congress can change it." leadership at the Kennedy
Center tried to get that decision paused. scaffolding had been
built and workers were ready to start peeling off Trump's
name, the Trump-appointed leadership at the Kennedy Center tried again.
They appealed the decision. Tonight, that appeal was rejected. And
I kid you not, moments after that final appeal was
rejected, a literal rainbow appeared across the Kennedy Center. A
double rainbow, actually. Oh! The gay god approves! This is...
this is... man That is pathetic. Talk about banal. So
this... Beatty woman, she's the one that sued over this.
Everybody, all the... Is she the transgender? Is she? I
don't know. There is one in Congress. There might be.
Let's see what she has to say. Why do you
think he keeps focusing on these things? I think it's
because it's who he is. I think that having this
role has made him to himself. This is a fantasy
project. Having this role has made him to himself. She's
a- What? So she's illiterate, whoever she is. Yeah, listen
to her. I think that having this role has made
him to himself. Whoa! Ding, ding, ding. Hold on a
second. This is a vanity project for him. All the
gold in the White House, tearing down historical rooms and
venues that have been there. What? tearing down historical rooms
and venues that have been there. Jeez. She is captured,
man. She's captured by something that it's not based in
reality. Tearing down historical rooms and venues that have been
there and putting what I think he calls his trademark
on it. So I think it's all about him that
he wants people to always remember that he was there.
Not what he did, not how he fought for the
country, and not how he stood up for our democracy
and the rule of law. He wants to be a
dictatorship, and that's what dictators do. He wants to be
a dictatorship. He doesn't want to be a dictator. He
wants to be a dictatorship. A whole dictatorship all together.
And then we wind it out with the Ms. Now.
crew. I'm listening to him. I wrote down here split
screen. I keep going back to the reporting of Susie
Wiles, the chief of staff, basically saying to everyone in
the administration, listen, let Trump be Trump. But you guys
relentlessly focus on the economy. At what point will someone
realize, perhaps the chief of staff, that having that kind
of split screen in any White House, but particularly this
White House, is what's fueling this anger? Because you can't
have the President of the United States with the biggest
megaphone out there with his... This gladiator fight, I'm so
glad you said that. The gladiator fight on the South
Lawn and saying in the Oval Office, I love the
inflation. And meanwhile, people can't buy gas. They're having trouble
meeting their payments. At what point will the White House
say, you know what, we need a unified message here,
a strategy? Do people watch? That's the K-Part guy. No,
is that the K-Part guy? Yeah, that was K-Part. I
can't tell if it's K-Part or the guy with the
fro. I can't tell. It's hard to tell them apart.
I thought the trend day Aragua. Uh, killing? Nino Guerrero.
I thought that got underplayed a lot. Well, before you
drift over there, I have a couple of clips. Since
you played an idiot. Oh, boy. Listen to him catch
the cue. Wow. Well, that's because the troll room was
already doing over-unders on these. clips. Ha! Ha! That's good.
I think he could do calci bets. Will Dvorak play
a Whatever Girls clip? I have two Whatever Girls clips
for today's show. Oh, man, I could have made a
killing. You could have made a killing. Yeah, on the
prop bed business. Yes. Because, you know, we just played
a dummy. So let's hear these women who... What you're
saying is future representatives of our country is who we're
going to listen to. Yes, the girls who, some of
them did not really pay much attention in grammar school.
Okay. - She's like, "Oh, is that the cue?" How
many planets are in our solar system? Oh, goodness. Nein.
Like 25. Okay. Like currently. I do kind of like
how when they say something stupid, the guy goes, okay.
Yeah, that's a good bit. Okay. Okay. But currently? A
hundred years ago. Yes, currently. The government building the Pentagon
is what shape? Like the pyramid. It's like a pyramid,
okay. What country is directly north of Mexico? Like Spain.
That's not too far from Tel Aviv. How many months
are in a year, Gemma? Fifteen. Twelve, sometimes thirteen. It
really just depends on if we have a leap year.
She said fifteen. Twelve, sometimes thirteen. She's on some weird,
like, Greek, ancient Greek calendar or some shit. How many
sides does a triangle have? Oh, that's a real hard
one. Um, four? What country gifted the Statue of Liberty
to... the United States starting with you. Tel Aviv. That's
not a country, mother. No, that actually was Italy. England.
Again. I remain this is a national security issue. These
children cannot be walking around the streets. They need to
be educated right away. And it's not the... It's not
that they don't know the facts, you know, these trivia
questions. It's how they bounce around guessing on stuff. That's
a great observation. Yes, because in fact they get into
an argument. One of them says, well, it's 13 months
in a year, depending on whether it's a leap year.
Where do you get that? that and the other one
says no it's 15 months in a year you don't
know how many months there are in a year Tel
Aviv And Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv. How does that get
in their brain? Well, this is what happens when you
doom scroll all day. And your stuff just sticks there,
like Tel Aviv. Okay. scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. The nine
planets, scroll, scroll. I'm surprised no one said, well, third
rock from the sun is Mars because that was a
good TV show. This is... Yeah, the third rock from
the center, of course. Yes. Is Earth. Well, no, but
this is what I expect them to say. Yeah, you
need to say something like that, sure. Okay, let's go
to the next one. More uplifting clips from Tennessee. More
uplifting clips. Name three countries besides the USA, starting with
you. Texas, Mexico.
England? Israel, Europe. I also have to say, I don't
know, Texas too. How many continents are there? Four. Six.
One. Name one continent. Russia. What two countries border the
USA? South America and North America. Israel and Germany. How
many states in the USA? What is it, 57 or
something? 13. What is the capital of the USA, Gemma?
Of the USA? Yeah. Like British Columbia. That's ridiculous. Now
they're just being silly. I was just being silly. Were
they in hot pants? No, they never show their overall
attire just to waist up. Unless they get up or
get thrown off the show. This is... Why don't they
ever get dumb boys? Are boys not stupid like this?
Is this? only women? Oh, they could do some women
could do. There's not all the women are. I mean,
they have a he has a bunch of women on
his side of the of the dais, basically, that that
are smart and they're condemning these girls constantly. There was
a good debate recently where one of them says, how
do you ever expect to get married? You don't even
know. And she just blathered, nails her with all her
stupidities. It's a weird show. It's too long to watch.
I warn you, my friend. I warn you. This is
contagious. Don't watch too much of this. I only get
the clips from their feed. Don't watch too much of
this. Because the feed has these occasional... Q&As, which I
think are just man on the street stuff, which is
always good for a laugh. But it's, like you said,
it borderlines a national security issue. I'd vote for him.
No problem. Uh, so... Tulsi Gabbard made a statement. Oh,
yeah, this was great. Which I clipped it down to
three bite-sized bits because it was about three minutes. Yeah,
she talks long. Too long, too long. And you know
what she misses? I mean, it could have been AI.
I actually had the robot check it out. She is
very AI robotic. That's a problem. She doesn't have a
lot of impact when she speaks. No, I mean, she'd
be saying... 120 US funded biolabs in 30 countries people!
This is insane what's going on! No, instead... After months
of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I'm
releasing new evidence of long-standing US government funding of more
than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries. Now these biolabs
include labs in places like Ukraine, which could be at
risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. In
fact, the intelligence community had previously warned that a U.S.-funded
biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable
to long-standing threats of Russian attacks. seizure or damage. Part
of the problem here is that we know all this.
This was this when we were taught we were talking
about this years ago. Like, oh, yeah, then the Russians
is, you know, you got to be careful. They can
blow up these bio labs. What kind of files do
we have to unearth to prove this? We all knew
it. It wasn't proved. It was... It never was proved.
It was just, you know, there's conspiracy theorists who are
out there talking about it. Podcasts. But the White House,
when Jen Psaki was, there's actually clips of her saying,
no, there's no, we don't do any of that. This
is bull crap. This is a conspiracy theory by a
bunch of right-wing nuts. I'm trying to see what clips
we had about bio labs. But yeah, there was a
couple of nasty ones in Ukraine. Yeah. Ah, we see.
What do we have here? This is interesting. What is
this? So here are the facts. Ukraine owns and operates
its own public health laboratory infrastructure. These facilities make it
possible to detect and diagnose diseases. Who is this? Can
you tell by the voice? I can barely hear it.
You got to turn it up a little bit. It's
the U.S. I think it's the black woman who is
the ambassador to the United Nations. Like COVID-19, which benefit
us all. The United States has assisted Ukraine to do
this safely and securely. This is work that has been
done proudly, clearly, and out in the open. This work
has... everything to do with protecting the health of people.
It has absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing to do with biological
weapons. And then we have a clip from Lavrov. Might
have paid attention to him back in the day. It
has arrived there and we have data that Pentagon... The
Pentagon is preoccupied about the chemical and biological installations in
Ukraine because Pentagon built two biological war labs and they
have been developing pathogens there. All right, so we didn't
believe that either, although we did. Yeah, we did. We
did. Because it's logical. It's what you do. You don't
have to be a genius to add two and two.
So here's the second part of Tulsi's statement, which should
have been, these idiots were building gain-of-function labs. They're doing
gain-of-function, hidden from the public, despite... Despite the laws... Illegal
gain of function, let's get that word in there. Despite
executive orders, it was completely illegal, but no, here's Telsey.
Until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of
these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from you, the American
people. Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs... are currently... From
you, the American people. ...or have previously engaged... It's terrible.
It's like, they withheld this from you. This is dangerous.
Can you believe these a-holes? They withheld it from you.
Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs are currently or have
previously engaged in research using hazardous... highly contagious pathogens, and
in some cases included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little
visibility or oversight. Now, President Trump clearly understands the serious
threat dangerous gain-of-function research poses to the American people. And
this is why he took decisive action over a year
ago. On May 25th, 2025, he signed an executive order
to end federal funding of gain-of-function research around the world.
Okay, no one cares. They just want to know that
they're making stuff there in secret that they shouldn't have
been doing and you could die from it. It could
spread across Ukraine, the world, whatever. And Fauci and Biden...
and they lied to you about it. They lied. Despite
the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact that research on
dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians and so-called health
professionals like Dr. Fauci, as well as entities within the
Biden administration's national security... to tease. entities. She needs to
rewrite these scripts. I know she can do it. It's
just, whoever, this is no good. Dr. Fauci, as well
as entities within the Biden administration's national security team, lied
repeatedly to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded
and- So this release today breaks new ground. As the
information surrounding the existence... history, locations, and funding of these
U.S.-funded biolabs has been intentionally covered up by very powerful
people who falsely claimed that these biolabs didn't exist. Finally,
a little nuance in her speech. These biolabs didn't exist.
So, it goes- completely unnoticed. Yeah. No one does anything
with it. Whatever. I think there wasn't any of the
news rundowns. Nah, whatever. Who cares? No, it's... And I
appreciate this. You could have made that the top story.
Easily. And I appreciate that she does all the work,
but if you're not going to... if you're not really
going to do anything. This is the same with, I'll
go back to the Trende Aragua guy. This is war
on the cartel bosses. This is saying... Hey, we're going
to kill you. Coming on the air with breaking news.
Wow, coming on the air. John, this is something new.
I'm just catching this now. Coming on the air. We
have to start doing this. I think it's been going
on for a while. I haven't caught it until now.
Coming on the air with your No Agenda show. Coming
on the air with breaking news that the U.S. military,
along with the Venezuelan government, has killed the alleged leader
of the gang, Tren de Aragua. That's according to President
Trump. We want to show you... of a home in
Venezuela that President Trump just released on social media. Now,
the president says this military strike was delivered on the
home of Nino Guerrero. That's the alleged leader of the
gang that's been a key target of the president's immigration
enforcement agenda. Now, his truth, his post rather on Truth
Social notes that quote, this military action was done with
the close coordination of our friends in Venezuela with whom
we are working very well. As a result, Trente Aragua
terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere
else. And under my leadership, we will find these.
murderers and drug lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to
the depths of hell where they belong. God bless America,
President Donald J. Trump. Now, that's a leader. I'm going
to blow you up, bitch. That's what we're going to
do. Hey, isn't Tulsi, isn't she a surfer? Yeah. Why
doesn't she do it surfer-do style? Hey, man. Hey, man.
Cowabunga. Bio labs, man. It's like this is bad news.
She could have done that. So this is, I think
this is a very nice marker to the drug industry.
Like, we're going to blow you up. You're not getting
away with it. Also not in the overview. Not in
the rundown. It should have been. No. I think so.
I think it's totally worth it. I see you brought
clips as well, so I'll let you play yours about
Switzerland. Yeah, this is funny, uh... It's weird, but yeah,
this is the BBC report on Switzerland's said to them,
or they're taking a vote on it, it may not
pass, that they're going to limit their population. Can a
country, indeed, should a country try to put a limit
on its population size? For the people of Switzerland, that's
not some abstract... question, but one they're about to vote
on. The Alpine nation will tomorrow hold a referendum on
whether to cap the population at 10 million. Right now
it's 9 million, around a third of whom are foreign
residents, and it's very much the issue of foreign residents
which is behind Sunday's vote. It was proposed by the
right-wing Swiss... People's Party, whose representative Yves Mbahou made clear
that reducing immigration is the aim. What we want is
to protect what we love, to ensure that Switzerland remains
a wonderful place to live in. We're not going to
eliminate traffic jams overnight, but this will allow us to
adapt road and rail infrastructure and build housing. but not
at a pace that would ultimately prevent us from absorbing
this massive influx of people. Switzerland has long had a
large foreign population. People brought in from abroad to do
everything from high-level jobs in industry and public services to
manual labour work which locals aren't prepared to do for
the wages available. Indeed, some there argue that limiting Switzerland's
population, and thereby limiting immigration, will also put a limit
on the economy, all of which has made tomorrow's referendum
very divisive. According to the Swiss journalist Julia Hamilton, the
result is still too close to call. The results are
in, in case you're interested. Should I give you the
results after the second clip? Yeah, give me the results
after the second clip. Right now, the suggestion is that
it's going to be very close. Something like 53% of
people are against and 45% people are for. And of
course, some people are still undecided. The main concern is
that Switzerland's growing population is... putting pressure on housing. I
myself have spoken to some people who live in Geneva
housing estates who said that they have to wait for
one, three, five, even sometimes up to 10 years for
an apartment. And because there are so many people waiting,
so it's very difficult to find accommodation. They're also saying
that there is pressure in schools and kindergartens and on
public services and transport. So people can feel sometimes, especially
in big cities, that there is a problem. But of
course, the opponents are saying that the problem is not
the immigration itself. The problem is that there is no
affordable accommodation available. So there are many... questions being discussed
in a society about this. Many businesses in Switzerland actually
employ foreign staff and they say that this could be
a big blow to the economy and the ability to
hire foreign workers to fill those jobs that requires foreign
talent. It has been likened to a Swiss Brexit in
some of the media because this would potentially isolate Switzerland
from the EU because not only that the government would
be obliged to take measures once the population reaches 9.5
million then once it reaches 10 million then the country
will be forced to exit the free movement agreement with
the EU and that of course would lead to problems
with its biggest trade partner, the European Union. So there
have been many discussions about what could happen and what
sort of effects this could have on the economy and
relations with its neighbours as well. Yeah, it was interesting.
The clips I had, I won't play them. We're talking
about health care, that all the health care workers are
foreigners, immigrants. And Switzerland is an aging country, aging population.
and they already have their homes, they don't care about
the young people, they're not motivating the young people to
have babies, and they just want to be taken care
of by slaves. And so, um, they voted it down.
The referendum did not pass. That makes sense. Yeah. But
they're being overrun with the same problem every other European,
almost every other European country has. in the EU. And
that is letting immigrants in, giving them homes, giving them
allowance. nothing to do hang out here You know, it's
a purposeful destruction of the European Union. For the people,
for the elites, it's no problem because they'll have a
completely controllable population. They control their money. The methodology to
do this, which is the... Like you said, to discourage
babies and families and the rest of it. And also
to do what Belfast, of course, where they had this
Sudanese guy try to chop some guy's head off and
they blinded him and whatever happened. There was a bunch
of riots. Well, as you would expect. because the forces
of counter-valence, the Soros people and others, put together some...
Some people. Some complainers. And here we have the Belfast
anti-fascist riots. 3,000 people have attended an anti-racism rally in
Belfast. in Northern Ireland following days of riots triggered by
a serious knife attack. Demonstrators held banners reading Refugees Welcome
and Riots Don't Speak for Belfast. The riots, dubbed racist
thuggery by a British minister, saw people singled out on
the basis of their skin colour with some forced into
hiding. A Sudanese man is charged with attempted murder over
the stabbing. Oh man. Yeah, that's beautiful. It's great. It's
really good. It's good. It's really, really good. Um... FISA
went dark. Refugees, welcome. FISA went dark on Friday, so
we're no longer being spied on. Yeah, right. One of
our One of our producers has a boots on the
ground of Disclosure Day. Did you see that? I'll read
it real quick. This is Mike. Boots on the ground
here in Minneapolis, St. Paul. My wife and I saw
a disclosure date tonight. Now I want to file this
report from the field. Coming on the air with a
report from the field is Mike from the... Twin cities
of Minneapolis-St. Paul. First off, this movie was a dud.
Ah, good. The writing was scattered. It moved between cerebral
sci-fi to car chase to campy philosophical monologues and then
back again so quickly and abruptly that anything resembling a
plot line was lost halfway through the effort. This is
our version of Cisco and eBird. And there were religious
themes of faith and our lot in the universe that
were thrown in your face and simultaneously so completely out
of place that I could not help but start to
laugh out loud in the theater from sheer confusion. By
far the worst movie Spielberg has ever made. expense might
have been created by the release of the UAP footage
released by the Trump admin a few months back, was
expeditiously squandered by this B-movie masquerading as a summer blockbuster.
I'm afraid the payoff, after months of speculation, was an
unmitigated disappointment, assuming one had any hopes for this film
at all. Thank you for your courage. It's Mike from
the field. there you go excellent report that's the kind
of report that that is valuable right there Yeah, it'll
save people a lot of money. It costs a fortune
to go to the theater nowadays. Wait for it to
come out on Netflix and you can turn it off
halfway through. Yeah, so Tina was in Vegas the past.
couple of days with her sister. They went to go
see Gwen Stefani at the Sphere. And so Phoebe and
I were here home alone. I'm like, you know. Let
me watch something crazy something I would never watch John
wick for That's something you'd never watch. No. No, I'd
never watch. And I watched the whole thing. I'm like.
This is dumb! I mean, it's so impressive. Keanu Reeves
kills... 200 people. Never a scratch on him until the
duel at the last moment. You know, you got a
blind guy who can kill everybody just by smelling him.
It's just... It's dumb. It's so dumb. I find the
John Wick movies quite enjoyable. Did you see John Wick
4? Did you see the fourth one? I may or
may not have. They're all the same. Well, this is
the worst of the four. I've seen other ones. It's
like, no, this is no good. And everybody has to
be shot in the head. You throw the guy in
the ground, then you shoot him in the head. Otherwise,
he's not dead. Well, we know that's true. Yeah, but
it's just like, shoot him in the head. Shoot him
in the head. Shoot him in the head. Shoot him
in the head. And he has endless supply of ammo.
Endless, I tell you. It never ends.
Yeah, reload again, reload again. A new mag, reload again.
Endless supply, it's amazing. So there you go. Okay, so
let's jump to a scandal. There's a TV show called
Married. at first sight. What is the premise of this?
The premise is you – it's a reality TV show.
There's a version in England. There's a version – I
think there's a version in the United States. There's a
version in Australia, which is controversial. You take two people
and you marry them. Oh. without them ever having met
before. Pretty much. Is this a Dana Brunetti production? No,
Dana's, I think, a little, got more savvy than that,
but here we go. As we say in the old
country, he has more in his Mars. I'm not sure
why they say that, but here we go. The revelations
about Australia's married at first sight comes just weeks after...
after damning allegations were made about the UK version of
the programme, with two participants saying they were raped by
the men they were partnered with, allegations the men involved
have denied. The Australian version is made by a different
production company and broadcast on a different channel. Both insist
there are strong protocols in place to ensure participants say...
Here's our culture correspondent, Noor Nanji. This is a huge
hit in Australia. Of course, we've been mentioning that the
UK version of Married at First Sight has been facing
intense scrutiny ever since our panorama came out a month
ago. But now there are fresh questions for the Australian
version too. Following this new investigation, we have... done and
we heard from several cast members who told us that
they felt unsafe after being matched with men with criminal
past which crucially they were not told about now we
should reiterate that the broadcaster in australia which is channel
nine and also endemol shine australia which is the production
company for that version have said that they have strong
proto to protect participants and to ensure safety and well-being.
But I think today's story should be seen against the
context of what this show is all about. Married at
First Sight Australia, by its very nature, is a show
that involves strangers meeting up, being sent on honeymoon, moving
in together, building a life together, sharing a bed... And
it is given that context, women say to us, they
said, that they should have been fully informed about the
men that they were being partnered with ahead of the
show. One woman that we spoke to said, you shouldn't
be left alone with a stranger with a criminal record.
And she added that there should have been informed consent.
Here's how you go. There's there's culture at its best.
Here's how reality shows work. You put two or more
people in a room together with cameras. And you add
alcohol. That's how it works. Yeah, that's how it works.
That's how it works. So did you see Carney's New
World Order speech? No. Yeah, so Carney... Do you have
it? Yeah, I do. I have four clips of it,
not the whole thing. um How long did it go?
Was it a long speech? Oh, it was eight minutes.
Too long. Too long. And I actually gave it to
the robot and said, cut all the silence. Robot did
a pretty good job because I couldn't, it was too
much. I'm like, I'm never going to play these clips
if I have to cut out every single silence. It'll
take me hours. So I was happy about that. So
he's a little more animated than it really was. Well,
that's pretty good. You got the robot to do something.
Yeah, robot is good. Good robot. So in a way...
So his whole, the premise here is America bad, Trump
really bad. not trustworthy. Those guys suck. We're going to
do, we're going to reboot everything our own way with
the European Union. And we're kind of going to do
what Trump is doing, but we're going to do it
for us. And this is an urgent task now because
the world is changing rapidly. Ireland and Canada are navigating
a global rupture, not a quiet transition. The post-Cold War
world of rules-based order is breaking down. Multilateral institutions have
weakened. Economic integration from which we have benefited is being
weaponized. The international trading system, which we've relied upon for
decades, is under threat. And at the same time, new
technologies from artificial intelligence to cyber and quantum are changing
the nature of war, the structure of economies, and the
possibilities of a new world. - Abilities of human advancement.
Climate change is no longer a warning. It's here. It's
here. Last month, as you know and you felt, Ireland
experienced its hottest May on record. Ever. Oh, no. In
Canada last year, forests larger. than Ireland burned in the
drought and heat. Global conflicts are exciting. They're more than
kinetic, as horrible as that is. Canada, Ireland, and Europe
are increasingly and more immediately vulnerable to once distant threats.
It's very interesting he throws Ireland in there every single
time because he wants to bring them back into the
fold. They got fighters over there. So, all right. So
just so you know, with Canada, with Ireland and with
the EU, we are bigger than you. I suggest... that
amidst this change, amidst this disruption, Canada, Ireland, and Europe
can be pivotal, powerful, and purposeful. Powerful, purposeful. Pivotal because
we are the most connected region in the world to
each other. and to others. Canada has 16 free trade
agreements with 51 countries covering one and a half billion
people, two-thirds of global GDP. And we're on course to
double that market access this year. The EU maintains preferential
access to over 80 partner countries, making it the top
trading partner for 80 nations globally. Together we are powerful
because we have the capacity to act together. Combined, the
population is more than twice that of the United States.
We have a larger cultural export industry and a more
diverse one, I might add, a similarly sized GDP, comparable.
Our collective defense budget is twice that of China's. to
the majority of the world's top 100 universities and over
half of the world's Nobel Prize winners. So together, we
are one of the largest economic, cultural, technological, financial... I
was just doing the math on the fly. With twice
the population, as he says, They only have half the
Nobel Prize winners. Where's the other group? Well, I guess
some of them are in China, but most of the
United States. And then he has some other, almost half
of the great universities. Where's the rest of them? So
we have half the population and twice as many great
universities per capita. He's just throwing away these numbers. If
you start looking at them on a per capita basis,
we're kicking ass. Yes. Well, so now we get to
the Trump bit. We're going to do what Trump is
doing, but he sucks. Now, because over decades, governments and
businesses prioritized efficiency over resilience, We all have developed supply
chains and trading relationships that create dependencies, that can turn
economic integration from an advantage, which is what it was,
into subordination. And so Canada's strategic imperative is to build
sovereign capabilities and resiliencies in these key areas. That starts
at home. We're fast-tracking a trillion dollars of investment in
energy, AI, critical minerals, new trade corridors. We're investing to
double our clean electricity grid. We're investing in quantum. We're
building our food security. Pretty much the same thing we're
doing except we, well I guess we're doing the dumb
quantum too. And so what is he going to do?
Huh? I just crack up when I think about it.
There's no evidence that they can get these things to
work. You mean quantum? Yeah. Quantum does fun little games
and stuff. Snake. All right, here we go. Last question.
But we recognize a second principle, that building true sovereignty
cannot... be achieved in isolation. It requires diversification. It requires
partnership. Wait, hold on a second. What's the logic here?
Sovereignty in isolation? Of course, sovereignty is isolation. This guy's
a banker. He's upset. True sovereignty cannot be achieved in
isolation. It requires diversification. It requires partnership. And so we
are focused on building a dense web of connections, said
another way, ad hoc coalitions that work issue by issue
with partners that share enough common ground to act together.
And that's why... Canada was the first non-European country to
join the EU's safe defence procurement program. It's why we've
signed 20 new economic and security agreements over five continents
in the past year. It's why we're championing efforts to
build a bridge between the Trans-Pacific. partnership in the European
Union. Something that would create a trading block of one
and a half billion. Sorry, I messed that up. Yeah.
So, you know, it's going to all happen to EU.
EU and Canada. We're going to take care of you
citizens. Don't worry about it.
Good. It's all good. It'll all be okay. We need
to put more Canadian news in the show. Yeah, seeing
as it will soon be just part of American news.
I'm still hopeful. Well, that ain't gonna happen, but there's
definitely causing issues. There's something up. With Canada, well, what's
up is that Trump has blown everything apart. He wants
to renegotiate NAFTA. Or the, I'm sorry, it's not NAFTA.
What is the... They changed the name, but it's basically
NAFTA. NAFTA, yeah. It's up for negotiation. They changed it
to Nambla. No, that's something else. Never mind. I'd like
to thank you for your courage, say in the morning
to you, the man who put the C in. What
does the C actually stand for? Say hello to my
friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr.
John! We have the very worst of the great Irish
secrets that wrap in here, such as the wine and
games and nights out there. In the morning to the
trolls in the troll room. *Metal Gear* 1681. If only
every one of the people listening to this show live
would send us a little donation. Yes, we have less
than 30 donations over 50 today. Less than 26. And
it's wonderful that people come in with Red Knight donations,
but you can give $5. You really can. Especially if
you're listening all the way through up to this point,
you should consider returning the value for the value that
you received. And I think once again, we have delivered.
you With John's Noisemakers alone, we have delivered. There you
go. It's all on deck. DEST- The people listening now
are either listening through noagendastream.com or one of the modern
podcasts. That's Podverse. It's really popular. I looked at the
numbers the other day. The share, the share of... apps
we share there we go for the last month uh
i think But 30% is the Apple legacy app, which
you cannot get the live stream through. Hello, people. And
next on the list is Podverse. You know how many
downloads we had from Spotify? Last month? No. Three. Three?
Three. Literally three. Wow. Some people have wised up. Of
course they have. Modernpodcastapps.com. You'll get a bat signal and
notification when we go live. And right after that. The
minute we publish the show, within 90 seconds, you're notified.
And your NOAA agenda show, the best podcast in the
universe, is flowing into your eardrums, ready for you to
go. So the value we give is open for everybody.
We're like an open source model. uh You can get
it however, there's so many different ways to get it.
You can download it right from the website. You can
give it to other people, redistribute it, do whatever. We
don't really care as long as you do something in
the 3Ts, Time, Talent, Treasure, to give back to the
show. So we had Mike in the Twin Cities giving
us a great movie review, which I think right there
is worth the price of admission. So that is literally
what you don't have to do. to pay to watch
that dog. People can do all kinds of things, organize
meetups. I mean, there's a lot that you can do
to support the show and return the value. And next
time you have one of those coffees, like, say, maybe
I should give this to the boys over there. It's
a no-agenda show. You'd be amazed how much the little-
And say hi to me in the- Albany meet up
next Saturday. Oh, there you go. Next Saturday to 27th.
One of the ways people help us is by prompting
art, prompt art, and then upload it to the No
Agenda Art Generator, noagendaartgenerator.com, so that we can have something
fun to show to people that is hopefully relevant to
the... episode and they click on it and they listen
to it. It's just an extra bonus. People like it.
It's fun. It's exciting. And Blue Acorn. comes in again
with the art for episode 1876 titled Screwball. for all
of John's screwball clips. And this was the Alaska dog
sled delivering the ballots. And it was different for an
AI-generated image. Did you think it had a different vibe
to it? The edges were a little sharper? It was
a little messy. A little messy. We usually don't pick
messy pieces like this. But I kind of liked it.
I mean, obviously we liked it. Well, it was very...
It was a... It was a... It had a charm.
of some sort. We both liked it. Yeah, we did.
What else did we like? Nothing. Well, yes, we had
the totem pole. Oh, the totem. Yeah, that totem had
potential. A lot of people uploading Ulster says no. Yeah,
I don't get why we would think we're going to
pick that. It's not going to happen. No, it's not
going to happen. Let me see, was there anything else
that we thought even came close? A lot of nipples.
No. Good try. Yeah, you thought the Darren O'Neill's cough,
the totem cough was funny. Yeah, I thought that was
funny. think that was it really um i'm looking at
it now there was another dog sled from jock 10
but no it wasn't quite as good i like the
ballot box which i used uh to announce the newsletter
although in the newsletter there was a The perfect crime
was the artwork. Yes. But I liked the ballot box
with the Jack in the Box popping out. It was
good. No agenda voting box. Yeah, that was good. Definitely.
Another Darren piece of genius. How does he do it?
I don't know how he does it. The guy, he's
a maniac. A maniac. Yeah, he's got the skills that
pays the bills. So then we quickly move on to
the... To the producers who supported us with the financial
donation, anybody can do it by going to noagendadonations.com. We
even accept Bitcoin. Yeah, you can send checks, which is
great. We love checks. We will not excuse your checks.
Yeah, because checks are totaled fees between 15 and 40
cents. Yes, very good way of supporting the show. And
of course, we, as always, just to make the segment
more exciting, give people more incentive, you can become a
knight or a dame. That is cumulative, so... You know,
if you've been giving support over years, we have lots
of layaway nights, eventually you will be invited to the
roundtable, you get one of those no agenda rings, one
of the few tchotchkes, and it's not really a tchotchke,
it's an actual signet ring that we have here, and
we've had that for a long time. The title is
probably more impressive than the ring itself. You can move
up the peerage ladder. We also have an opportunity. Come
and duke. Yes, we have an opportunity for people to
get official Hollywood credits. We are certified to hand out
these credits, so $200 or more. Not only will we
read your notes that you sent in with the donation,
guaranteed, we will also give you the Hollywood credit of
association. executive producer. You can use that anywhere these credits
are recognized, including imdb.com, which looks kind of cool. Hey
babe, I'm in IMDB.com. $300 or more, you become an
executive producer. Same deal, we'll read your note and you
get that title. And we start today with Brent Stricker
from Spooksville, Alexandria, Virginia. $1,100. $1,100. All right. Very cool.
And he says... I'm glad to discover your show. My
chosen title as Red Knight of the Heart is Sir
Wild Bill, Liberator of California. Please, I'd like mac and
cheese and little gourd, yeah? And he says... Liberate California!

We have end of show mixes coming up. A really
good one from the Grumpy Dames, the Grumpy Old Dames,
who were desperately trying to figure out what the C
stands for in John C. Dvorak. I noticed with that
song they actually pronounced my last name correctly. Well, maybe
it wasn't AI. Well, somebody's talking pretty fast. Doubtful. Would
you like to divulge what the C stands for in
John C? We all know what it stands for. Everybody
knows what it stands for. Cash. *laughs* We have John's
tip of the day coming up at first. End of
show ISOs. I have two. I see you have celebrity
ISOs once again. So I will start with mine. I
was very, I was, it was amazing. And this one.
It was amazing. Okay. now what do you have it's
kind of the same one it's a man it's a
woman it's two different things they're real they're not ai
generated but okay let's go with your fakeness i don't
like ai to me no it wasn't this no no
this okay okay this i have obama i called him
up and had him do these brock obama ai sorry
not ai okay brock obama here You just heard the
best podcast ever. Lame. Okay, let's try the other one.
Because he always says, the way he always starts off
with... Hello everybody! Remember, we made a big deal out
of that. All right, next. I wish the No Agenda
show was around when I was a kid in Kenya.
Okay. All right. Kid in Kenya, we'll take it. But
first, it's John's tip of the day. Great advice for
you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes...
Wine, wine, wine, we want wine. You had wine before.
Oh, okay. Okay, so wine will be coming, coming soon.
Mm-hmm. So this is a screwball tip because I saw
some some ads for it and so I ended up
getting one and I Yeah, there's some... It's an interesting
product. It's a cardboard box cutter motorized. Oh. And it
just plows through cardboard real fast. But what it really
is, is it's basically just an assisted knife. um There's
like a knife, it's like a blade, it's like a
box cutter with a motorized assist so you can really
zoom through the boxes. And this has been promoted here
and there. I'm going to give you the, this is
the one that I got and played with is the...
Uh... I guess it's Keyland. K-E-L-I-N, 300 milliamp hour cardboard
box cutter 2026 version. What's wrong with scissors? You can't
cut through cardboard with scissors. Yeah, you can. They cut
through cardboard all the time with scissors. Wow. These are
20... So the thing about these cutters, and you look
it up in Amazon as a cardboard box cutter, motorized
or whatever. But the thing about these things is that
you want the cheap one because they're all the same.
40 different versions of the same exact thing, this typical
Chinese product.
There's a million versions of it, and they vary in
price from the cheapest I've seen is 19. This one
I got for 19, but now it's 20. $20 to
$50 for the exact same product. Get the cheap one.
They do work. If you've seen ads for them, it
takes a little more force than you think. think, but
it's a good way to cut up a cardboard box
into cardboard strips. Well, okay. Valid point. We have a
lot of boxes at the end of the week, and
I usually, I have a knife, I have a pocket
knife, you know, the kind you pull out and it
opens automatically. Oh, it's called a stiletto. No, no. This
is a there's a little hook on it And if
you know, and so it slips into your right pocket,
your front pocket with a clip. And then when you
pull it out, if you pull it out with a
little bit of backwards motion, then it automatically opens the
blade so I can shiv them real quick. Yep. So
I use that. to cut up the boxes and I
think that this motorized box cutter may be for me.
It might be, but again, get the cheap one. The
cheap one, yes, the cheap one. And this case is
the cheapest one with the most powerful battery, 3,000 milliamp
hours. Okay. And they do work. No, I, I, I,
I. But it makes you, they make it sound like
it's a saw. It's not. It's an assisted blade. I
will bring a report after I order mine. I will
order mine from tipoftheday.net or noagendafun.com because that's where you
can find all of John's Tip of the Day. Tips
and Just the tip with JCB. and sometimes add Created
by Dana Brunetti. Yes. Thank you very much, Dana Brunetti.
And since we looked it up... The... The name of
this... I had it somewhere. I had the name of
this song for everybody and now I've, uh, now I
forgot. Oh yeah, somebody tracked it down. Yeah, and now
I forgot. I can't find where I, I put it
in here somewhere in the show notes. I'll go find
it. Yes, here it is. It's on the seventh day.
There's a link in the show notes. It was indeed.
