We're having a great time. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore.
It's Thursday, July 2nd, 2026. This is your award-winning Kimo
Nation media assassination episode 1882. This is no agenda. I'm
awaiting the stork. And we're broadcasting live from Museum Square
in the heart of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. And from Northern
Silicon Valley, where we're awaiting 250, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah, that's kind of
weird. I'm over here and there's no... I think it's
great because it gives you... It'll give you the European...
uh perspective of r250 which is a big deal which
is nothing no one cares they don't care what what
they don't care no they don't care here they don't
care at all there's there's no one walking around going
wow almost two well i'm sure that's not happening but
but That's interesting because they sell Black Friday. Yeah, that's
true. They do. How did that happen? You're absolutely right.
I can't argue on that. They picked up Black Friday,
but no, there's no such thing. They don't even have
Thanksgiving yet. They still have Black Friday. It's not like,
you know, it's like Taxi Eric. this up from the
airport. And it's not like he said, hey, almost 250.
No, no. Or I thought he'd demand a land acknowledgement.
No, but we are pretty excited here. I got a
text from Christina. She said... The mucus plug has fired.
Which, uh... Yuck. Thanks. It's a big deal. It means
the baby could come soon. The timing could be perfect.
which is the main reason we're here. We're here for
other reasons. What are the reasons? Well, um... When my
mom passed 20 years ago, it was on this day
actually, July 2nd. She had envelopes for the four of
us, the three of us. Bob, her husband, so four
of us, but the three of us. And in this,
she had a personal letter and there was, you know,
little, little things. And I opened up my letter. My
letter's like, um. I do not want a, uh... traditional
you know, like a funeral, I want you to arrange
right away. a 50s party with a soda fountain and
people dressed in 1950s bobby socks. And I'm like, okay.
And so I. I did it and within two days
on July 4th. I arranged that. I had, you know,
50s hot rods. I had the whole, I had everything
all set up and people came over and they hung
out and didn't quite understand what was going on. But
I did that. So my sister, Tiffany, who lives here,
she kind of made a, family reunion and we're all
here to celebrate the 20th memoriam, I guess, of my
mom. But it's kind of a family reunion. So the
Italian curries are coming, and it's going to be fun.
Everybody's here. That's the idea. Okay. I can tell you're
floored by this. Yeah, well, I was like, I thought
the story was leading in one direction and then it
didn't. Well, what did you expect? Well, I thought it
was like, you know, the secret node was to be
open today or something. Oh, yeah. And congratulations, you have...
20 years later, you open the node. It is. $10
million, Adam? It's a check for $10 million. Wouldn't that
have been great? No. So anyway, so we're on the
plane and now we booked Delta. Delta has direct flights
from Austin to Amsterdam, which I thought was only KLM,
but you know, they co-chair or whatever. Yeah, it's the
same company. Yeah. Well, not the same company, but they're
the same. Yeah. Well, interestingly, so we go to the
Delta check and they're like, oh, no, no, you got
to go to the KLM. So my ticket says Delta.
So yeah, no, but you got to check in the
KLM. Okay, so we go. So it is a KLM
aircraft. It's a KLM crew. Haven't been on a KLM
plane for. a number of years actually. And So we're
sitting down and there's the prototypical gay steward. you know
my age so 56 my 40s my age 50s 60s
and he's like oh Oh, oh, oh, it's so great
to have you on board. You're Christina's dad. Like, oh
my goodness. Yeah, and? The point is, I used to
be famous. Oh, that's hilarious. Wow. Wow. Hello, penny drop.
Well, I thought it was, again, I thought you were
leading in another direction. That was the punchline. Oh I
thought it was going to go the following, that it
was scripted and somebody had told this guy to say
that, which has happened to me. Oh, no. And you
found out the fraud and it was going to go
in all kinds of directions. It never did. I'm looking
at the troll room. Why is Potty Mouth saying... According
to... Rocket Reach. No Agenda LLC is valued at $2
million. Yeah, that's with us alive and in it, dude.
We'll sell the show for five. What are you talking
about? I'll sell it for two. Good to go. Take
it over, please. And now it's time for 3 by
3. Let's get right to it today. Experiment by JCD.
Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. Remember! John's got
the big three stories from the big three. There were
quite a number of stories, most of them pretty boring
and stupid, but... Most of the stories were boring and
stupid and I will say this this was the Supreme
Court came down with some decisions and everybody focused on
the one that that burned Trump he's trying to do
stuff he can't do which is mainly then so they
all whoa blah blah blah you know he couldn't get
his birthright citizenship thing through and they burned him and
on and on and on so here we go with
three versions of that story yeah let's start let's start
with uh which one do you think we start with
uh abc abc tonight the supreme court rejecting president trump's
effort to end birthright citizenship upholding the fort Thank you.
free-born person in this land. We keep that promise today.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito dissenting. Alito
calling the decision a serious mistake that will seriously affect
the future. Trump signed the executive order ending birthright citizenship
on the very first That's a good one. Birthright. That's
a big one. Today, he called the court's ruling too
bad for our country, adding we can easily make it
up in Congress through legislation. But Congress does not have
the power to overturn the 14th Amendment. Today, the justices
handing Trump a victory. when he returned to the White
House last year. The justices allowing states to ban transgender
girls and women from playing on women's teams. Citing both
fairness and safety, Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes, states may maintain
women's and girls' sports for biological females. In her partial
dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor insisting it's not been proven that
transgender student-athletes categorically posed dangers to competitive fairness and safety.
And David, the Supreme Court did not outright ban transgender
girls. from competing in women's sports. That is up to
individual states. And right now, 29 states have restrictions on
transgender athletes. The other 21 allow trans girls to play
on girls' teams. All right, so they wrapped those two
together. Can you take your speakers down just a little
bit? I'm having a hard time gating that out. So
they... folded those two into one okay All right, that
makes sense. Yeah, that's the way they did it. It
was like blame. Let's try NBC. Tonight, the U.S. Supreme
Court dealing a major blow to President Trump's immigration crackdown,
striking down his controversial executive order that sought to ban...
automatic U.S. citizenship for babies born to undocumented immigrants. The
president today slamming the court's decision as too bad for
our country, while immigration advocates celebrated it. The fact is
that if you're born here, you're an American citizen, period.
The president has long railed against birthright citizenship. enshrined in
the 14th Amendment to the Constitution passed after the Civil
War. This was not meant for Chinese billionaires to have
their children become citizens of our country. This was meant
for other rich people, poor people. This was meant for
the babies of slaves. But today, Chief Justice John Roberts
writing for the majority, reaffirming the long-settled understanding of the
14th Amendment, guaranteeing citizenship to all children born in the
U.S. and subject to its power, with limited exceptions. Writing,
quote, the framers of the 14th Amendment extend...
that promise to every free-born person in this land. We
keep that promise today. In dissent, Justice Samuel Alito calling
the ruling a serious mistake that preserves a powerful incentive
to enter or remain in this country illegally. The executive
order, if allowed, could have potentially impacted more than 250,000
babies born in the U.S. every year to non-citizens. 13-year-old
Mia expressing relief today that families like hers can now
stay together. This is our home. We belong here. Yeah,
okay. Boy, this is so shallow. It's shallow. Yeah, no,
they could have mentioned. Claris Thomas. No, they said the
same Alito stuff. And then they don't mention that it's
not ex post facto. You know, somebody's already born here.
All of a sudden now they got kicked out. They
got kicked out? No, of course not. Which is what
they imply there at the end of the story. Yeah,
they're wrapping it up with dreamers and DACA. So, um...
That's what they're doing. They never mention it. They don't
mention it. You're right. It's shallow and lame. I have
some analysis from our constitutional lawyer in a moment, but
let's hear what CB... Good. We'll hear from him after.
By the way, these have been in order of length.
But you can see that the ABC one was stretched.
The NBC was actually technically the longest for just about
the topic. And the shortest one is from CBS. The
court said that the framers of the 14th Amendment extended
the promise of citizenship to almost quote every free person
born in this country. land, rejecting President Trump's efforts to
rewrite the Constitution with the stroke of a pen. In
one of the first executive orders of his second term
on Inauguration Day, President Trump tried to end birthright citizenship.
Today, after the Supreme Court rejected his effort in a
forcefully worded opinion, called the ruling too bad for our
country and urged Congress to take action immediately. Trump had
argued the 14th Amendment was intended to grant citizenship to
freed slaves and their descendants after the Civil War, not
to the 250,000 babies born every year to people here
illegally or temporarily. But in the decision by Chief Justice
John Roberts, joined by Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett and
the three liberal justices, the court said, under the Constitution,
they are citizens at birth. Juan Perano, CEO of LULAC,
cheered the ruling. I mean, the stakes are $400,000 to
$500,000. children born in the United States to parents that
may be undocumented or at least in the process of
getting legal status in the United States. All those children
born would not have been U.S. citizens and they would
have been stateless. So this is really quite disturbing. Disappointing
from all three of the big so-called news networks. They
really they really left a lot of things out here
Because really, this wasn't about the 14th Amendment per se.
I'm getting this from Rob, our constitutional lawyer. We have
more producers than any news program, any news organization, anywhere
on the planet. That's true. Because we don't have listeners.
We have zero listeners. We have nothing but producers. At
issue here was Trump's executive order. to limit birthright citizenship,
which is a little different than ruling on the 14th
Amendment itself. Which, according to Rob, and I'll take his
word for it, SCOTUS! actually disagrees five to four on
the meaning of the 14th amendment See, they don't discuss
that. This was only about his executive order. And... Rob
goes into the relevant part of the 14th Amendment, which
derives from a British... common law doctrine called "Ju Soli."
Youth Soli. Latin for this my Latin Latin for law
of the soil. And under the Yu-Sol-Li doctrine, anyone born
within the king's allegiance or protection was deemed a natural-born
subject of the crown. regardless of the parent's status. The
Dred Scott decision, this is, you know, I can't believe
no one even brought this up in the news reports.
temporarily overruled this concept and made it... Hold on. I
should mention, because your complaint is legit, except for the
fact, if you listen to all the news analysis... programs,
a number of people brought up the Dred Scott decision.
Right, but you know... Yeah, but it wasn't... Yeah, these
straight-up reports are really bad. So the Dred Scott decision
temporarily overruled this concept and made hereditary rather than soil
the determining factor. So Justice Clarence Thomas... He wrote a
91-page dissent. Not mentioned in any of the three reports
from the networks. And he says that Yusolai does not
just mean geographical location, this is interpretation, but actual allegiance.
He argues that the majority wrongly ignores that the... The
14th Amendment requires primary allegiance through domicile, not through mere
temporary or unlawful presence, which I think means that you
can throw out every single Democratic politician because they have
no allegiance to America. So we should just throw them
all out. And actually, I'll put this in the show
notes. Because I thought it was really interesting that they
really didn't focus in on anything. They did do cute
things. Like Ms. Now, I still have a hard time
saying Ms. Now instead of MSNBC. And MSNBC, they might
just call themselves the podcast now. They're doing podcast level
content with podcast level. Visuals. And podcast level production. Everything
is podcast level. We're better. I mean, okay, you don't
see my pillow against the wall here, but... So the
cute little gag was plan B. They've got a plan
B. And the way I took that was, you know
what plan B is. The Medication Plan B Yeah. Okay.
So it was like, oh, for birthright, you know, we
got a plan B for aborting the birthright. Yeah. It's
a, it's a subtle pun that they kind of threw
in there and, and here's the plan B. But let's
talk about the decisions from the Supreme Court that we
saw this week and last week. What are you hearing
from the White House? about the reaction to some of
these cases, especially the Birthright Citizenship Act. It seems like
Brett Kavanaugh has given Congress a roadmap to now follow
through on crafting legislation to codify the president's executive order
that SCOTUS has said is not viable. What are you
hearing? Yes, and there's more pressure on Congress now. It's
not just with the SAVE Act, but also on birthright
citizenship. So when they come back after this July 4th
recess, I think there is going to be yet another
to-do list for Republicans on Capitol Hill. I think with
birthright citizenship, this was something the administration was expecting. We
even heard President Trump sort of... try to lower expectations
on this. So this was clearly something that they had
in their back pocket ready to go with as a
plan B in the likely scenario, which happened of the
Supreme Court striking it down. Yeah. So that's so now
they're going to take it to Congress and see what
they can do there. I like the allegiance part more
than anything. Makes kind of sense to me. Yeah. Well,
they have these tourism, there's baby tourism. They bring the
pregnant women over here. This is an offensive term, John
C. Dvorak. Offensive. One of President Trump's first acts on
returning to office last year was to sign an executive
order seeking to end automatic citizenship for anyone born to
foreign parents in the U.S. He'd argued that undocumented migrants
were not subject to a right that has been enshrined
in the American... He responded by saying... You hear how
the BBC actually got it right, which is astounding. Our
own news guys, news outfits can't get it right. They
said this was about him annulling the 14th Amendment with
an executive order. That's all that this was. This didn't
validate or invalidate the 14th Amendment. with the stroke of
a presidential pen. He responded by saying the court's decision
was too bad and that he would use Congress to
get around it. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, also expressed
his disappointment. It is a serious problem. We have, it's
become a tourism, birthing tourism, they call it, you know,
a trend where people would just. come and you just
come onto the soil and have your child and then
they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and
everything else. It's been abused. But for those who've settled
in the US and gone on to have children, this
ruling brings a great sense of relief. The BBC heard
from one woman who travelled to the US to claim
asylum after fleeing Guatemala because of the threat of violence
back home. Last year, she gave birth to a baby
girl. She didn't want to give us her name, and
her words are spoken by an interpreter. She says the
term birth tourism is offensive to many hard-working migrants. There
you go. Offensive. You're just an offensive man. You're birthing
tourism. Blah. Offensive. Offensive, I tell you.
Yeah. Well, did anyone really expect that to go in
his favor? I didn't expect it to go in his
favor. No, I don't think so. I don't think anyone
did. But we got another one for Trump. We got
another one. And what else? Oh, is... His fare is
no good. The fair. The fair. They keep showing, they
never show the fair. They just show the giant lawn,
which is near the fair, that has people, you know,
which is a monstrous thing. And they say, look, nobody's
at the fair. But nobody's at the, because they're not
at the fair to see who's at the fair. People,
we got notes from people that went to the fair,
they said, I actually got it here. I actually got
it here. Please read. This is from Gumbo in D.C.
who works in D.C. and asked to be kept anonymous.
How about a real-time boots on the ground? I've been
on the mall many days and nights since the opening
ceremony, including this show day. I was listening to today's
episode. That was Sunday. on the walk back to my
condo. my condo and pause to send this when you
gents talked about the fair it's been packed every single
visit but people are making it look empty with how
they take the pictures the mall is huge there's so
much to do that people migrate to the next big
event all day concerts performances movies on huge screens even
a rodeo A real rodeo? We haven't seen... A rodeo.
What network has shown us the rodeo? Or what network
has shown us the giant screen? I had no idea.
I had no idea that there was a rodeo going
on. No, because all they show is they take a
shot from a mile away of the giant lawn that's
out there. Out in the middle of the whole place.
And they say, look, there's nobody here. I'm telling you.
It's really such a fake. I thought I had a
clip about this. Unless he shows the rodeo. I thought
I had a clip here. Let me see. of rodeo
but no there's nobody there okay uh here it is
uh freedom 250, yes. I think, is this it? Let
me see what this is. This Great American State Fair,
which is happening just down the mall, is being put
on by an ostensibly nonpartisan group called, what is it
called? Freedom 250. Right. But Trump has sort of taken
the thing over. How did that happen? So there was
a congressional bipartisan committee set up to celebrate America's 250th
called America. 250 and that's been sort of shunted away
and supplanted by freedom to freedom to it's always freedom
right wait and this this is your this is the
confusion you brought up Yeah, no, I brought it up,
but America 250 didn't go away. No. Which is a
creation of Trump. He appoints the leaders, the White House
leads it. It's funded by... taxpayer money in a lot
of cases, but it's directed by the White House. It's
a Trump political operation. I mean, and I was joking
about, you're a pollster when I'm talking about nanobubblers, but
your focus on non-profits and how they were used is
what won you that award in the first place. When
you see this organization, what are you looking at? What
it means, so the money that, this is taxpayer money
that goes into a non-profit. And that nonprofit, then its
spending becomes opaque. We don't know if it's giving out
no-bid contracts. We don't know who it's hiring. We don't
know who it's paid. I'm trying to find. This is
so odd. I thought I had an MS Now clip.
where, oh, here it is. Yes, this is the one,
I think. Hi again, everyone. It's five o'clock in the
east. Donald Trump's This is what's her name? Here, let's
start it off properly. Here we go. Sometimes the pictures
really don't tell the full story because if you look...
So this is good. This is Ms. Now. uh what's
the sake sake show playing a bit of fox so
this is in fox you've probably seen they've got their
white couch they're outside they're basking in the glory of
the fair which is also kind of sicko sometimes the
pictures really don't tell the full of the full story
because if you look behind us you see okay there
are a couple hundred people back there but the The
truth is when you make your way over here and
you're in this lot, you're in a wash of people.
There are thousands of people here. And I'll tell you
what, that's with rain, with everything else going on, the
fact that it is heightened security just because of the
world right now. It's really an awesome crowd. And it's
the people that want to be here. Don't believe your
eyes. Don't believe your ears. I put on my glasses.
to get a closer look the live show i'm sorry
it's uh it's the other woman literally behind all those
people saying all those things tells a totally different story
from the things coming out of their mouths oh they're
lying let's talk about it hi again everyone it's five
o'clock in the east donald trump's long-awaited freedom 250 great
americans State Fair went off with a whimper this weekend
with what looked like tens, dozens of people showing up
for the event, which was plagued with problems, power outages,
a shutdown Ferris wheel, extreme weather, and the cancellation of
a performance by one of the only artists who stood
by Donald Trump other than Kash Patel. girlfriend and that
was part of vanilla ice what kind of slight is
that Kash Patel's girlfriend? Is she a singer? I thought
she was a Russian spy. She's a singer? Well, she
could be both. Oh, okay. Other than Kash Patel's girlfriend,
and that was part of Vanilla Ice. Oh, no. The
Iceman. Stellar reviews of the thing. Hold on. Vanilla Ice
is Cash Patel's girlfriend? This is a scandal. There in
the viral posts about his itty-bitty little crowds have gotten
under Donald Trump's skin in a big way. Donald Trump
posted this response on True Social. Quote, Do you think
people appreciate what a fantastic job we did in building
and operating the great American state? fair at the National
Mall packed with happy people. Oh my God, I can't
believe I'm reading this and everybody loving it. Well, you
are. The president went on. Ask yourself the simple question.
The president of the United States switched to all caps.
Quote, do you think that Obama or Sleepy Joe Biden
could have done it? The answer is. In Trump's post,
no. The answer was like Obama did it last week
at the opening of the Obama Center. Oh, please. But
I guess in this case, Trump has a point. Obama
has never in his life, like if Obama's motorcades draw
bigger crowds for OTRs, trips that aren't even announced. Oh,
my goodness. I'll continue. Wow. continue with our boots on
the ground. So even a real rodeo. And the Ferris
wheel line is very long at peak times for the
best views of the city. If they allowed drone footage,
you would see the, oh, that's a good point. You
would see the entire mall, but these grifters and clickbaiters
know that and just want to orange man bad this
thing. Also, the weird religious tent that people keep bitching
and posting about. That thing has been on the mall
for many months. I don't think the park folks can
kick them off because they got a permit. Has nothing
to do with the 250th Fair. Says gumbo in D.C.
Our boots on the ground. So there you go. But
all of the news, it's all so cynical. call and
so No, I didn't even call it cynical. It's misleading.
Well, yeah, but that's not a surprise. I mean, that's
not the surprising thing. It's just, come on. Like continuously.
And then we have... The ongoing fight with the housing.
Let's skip that for now. I'm not in it. I
don't want to talk about nothing but bills. It's all
kinds of bills going on. Bills this, bills that. Um,
Let's talk about... Let's see. Well, I got a number
of things that we can talk about. Yeah. But you
will be changing the subject. Yeah, we don't. I mean,
well, what is the subject of 250? Do you have
anything on the 250? I think we can talk about
250 on the Sunday show. We're working over the July
4th weekend. Dude, I literally. People don't seem to appreciate.
I literally flew through the night, set up the studio
and I'm working. in here and it's it's uh yeah
most podcasters would have taken the day off yes and
relaxed after a international trip I flew through the air,
I landed, and then set up the studio. And my
wife is in her bathrobe here on the bed. Hello.
Hello, wife. She's going, when are you going to be?
done she has a headphone oh she's very annoyed by
it yeah we don't we don't well how come we
don't have a suite where you can be in a
different room well because i'm a podcaster you should have
married a politician So there you go. Let's talk about
the daredevils. The Empire State... I got two clips. This
was good. I got the first ones from NTD, which
I think is a good rundown, which is Empire State
Daredevils. Okay. Two daredevils were arrested today after climbing the
antenna of New York City's Empire State Building. The duo
flew a banner from the top, which read, quote, When
the power of love beats the love of power, the
world knows peace. The NYPD has released video footage of
officers interacting with the couple. An officer could be heard
telling the couple that they weren't allowed to be where
they were, and then the couple could be heard saying
that they speak Russian. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica
Tisch praised the emergency. The duo were daredevil artists, Angela
Nicolaou and Vanya Birkis. of the building like most of
these Spider-Man people? They never say that. I think they
got in the elevator, went up to as high as
they could and then climbed. That part's not explained. All
we know is we have some phony footage of them
up there. I identified one thing that was on Fox
where the helicopter's going around.
them but they weren't moving is this uh now is
this signage is this uh uh like okay they got
that from a podcast oh From a podcast. He got
it from a podcast. Hold on. How come our producers
aren't climbing up buildings and promoting the show? Well, they
did promote the show because the second clip is Daredevils.
Here they are in jail. And what it turned out
that the whole thing was to get engaged. And they
did. And they had a big kiss at the top
of the Empire State Building. And this is the two
of them in jail doing an Instagram. post and the
thing looks rigged. It's like TMZ and CBS and all
these networks were involved somehow. Hello from jail. We are
They couldn't be here. It was... Wait a minute. They're
in jail and they let... They give them their phones
in jail? I'm just saying. Lifelong dream to get engaged
on top of skyscraper. We want to thank ABC, TMZ,
CBS, Fox News, ESPN, T9, Yahoo, everyone who shared our
love. NC Science, yes. When ze power of love beats
ze love of power, ze world knows peace. We found
that on a Mel Robbins podcast. Yes, Sam. You can
find us on ZNOT. And we are registered at Bed,
Bath & Beyond. I love you. No touching. So according
to Nick the Rat, who came out of, he came
out of the sewer into the troll room. This is
a Netflix promotion for the documentary Skywalkers, A Love Story.
that follows daredevil couple angela nicolai nicolaou and ivan Birkus.
That's that. Yes, Tim. So it's a promotion. It's a
movie promotion, as usual. Everything's a movie promotion. And then
they get a plug-in for being on The Knot, so
they're going to get a bunch of... Free wedding gifts.
Free stuff, yeah. Oh, man. That is... You know, I
bet you Steven Spielberg is just stewing right now. It's
like, how come I couldn't get this kind of attention
for Disclosure Day? And these idiots take it all. Not
only that, but they were They were on Twitter and
this and they were on Facebook and the news, CBS,
NBC, Fox. And she says, Yahoo. Yahoo. Yahoo. Well, that's
pretty good. You know, I've been up there. If you
look right at that tower, if you look at the
tower. The base of the tower is a little round
room. That's where they did the proposal. They were in
that room, the little, the small, tiny, because you know
what's in there. Oh, no, no, they were up above
it. No, okay, so right under. It was an open
platform. Yes. I mean, I don't know how, you know,
there's something about the mentality of people that can do
this kind of thing where you can be 1,400 feet
in the air on the top of a building on
a windy day on an open platform and look over
and go, hey, look how far up we are. So
I don't know how you do that. I've been up
there one time with Steve Pepe. who was the engineer
at Z100. And the way it worked, this is back
in the late 80s. It was a different radio station's
transmitter engineer's responsibility. They change, I think, every three months.
And it would be that guy's turn to go up
to the top of the Empire State Building. and to
check the health of everybody's transmitter. And it's this little
room. It's like the size of a hotel room. It's
round, obviously. And there's just nothing but transmitters up there.
And, you know, I think you can get impotent if
you stay up there too long. I think that's what
I wonder about climbing that antenna. That's probably not a
great idea. Well, that's... No, it's the tower. It's the
tower. It's not the antenna, but still. But yeah, and
there's a special elevator that takes you all the way
to the top, and then you walk up the little
twisty, turny stair, like a spiral staircase. Then you're in
that room, and the platform is right above it. So
maybe they didn't even, did they even, do we know?
They didn't climb up the side of the Empire State
Building. They took the elevator up to the tiny room.
Yeah, that's what they did. I'm sure that's what they
did. Oh, interesting. Well, it's a good promotion. It's pretty
good. It was a Dynamite promotion. I have to say,
that's pretty good. And she's cute, and she's showing off
her ring. The whole thing is fake. Fake and gay.
Yeah. to talk about ai because there are a couple
of stories that came out that i think will affect
uh the uh what would you call that the ai
trade the ai trade Yeah, well, I have one. Good,
because I have one clip. When you're done, I want
to play this clip because it's... The clip bothers me.
Would you like to start off with that? I'd prefer
if you... Well, it's more about... It's not about AI
so much about the server farm. So I want to
hear the AI. Well, there's two... So a couple things
happened. The first one is Ford made a rather... startling
announcement saying, you know... We replaced a whole bunch of
people with AI and AI cameras and AI sensors to
make sure the nuts and bolts were tightened just perfectly.
And, yeah, we're hiring people back because our cars, our
trucks are sucking with this AI stuff. And so this
was a pretty big financial story. This is from Bloomberg.
So was it... Your team, was it an employee, a
labor issue? Was it, you know, technology? Did you use
AI? Was it factory processes? Like, can you get into
specifics of how you did it? This guy, these Bloomberg
people are doing podcasts, too. This is not journalism anymore.
Yeah, if you were to visit... Today, the Rouge plant
where we make the F-150, Matt, what you would see
is a whole control center around data and quality data.
So we measure the torque of every one of our
fasteners. We have AI tools for vision systems. But most
of all, it's just old-fashioned hard work. of our team
members all working together to pay attention to the very
small details that will make a difference between a perfectly
built Ford and an okay built Toyota. It's just an
incredible attention to every single... Wait, hold on, stop! Is
he equating There's an equivalency thing he did there, but
I think it may have been subconscious. He equates a
perfectly built Ford with a mediocrely built Toyota. Are they
the same? I think what he meant to say was
it's the difference between our trucks, which are great, and
a crappy. Toyota, which is slapped together with robots. That's
what he meant to say. But let's hear it again.
There will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford
and an okay built... Yeah, difference. Give him a break.
He said it's a difference. Details. There will make a
difference between a perfectly built Ford... and an okay-built Toyota.
It's just an incredible attention to every single detail. So,
you know, they had a 700,000-unit recall on trucks. I
don't know if that's something to do with it, but
the way the CEO Farley here is spinning it is...
This is America, man. We use American workers. So, I
mean, it's interesting now that we're in the age of
AI and we're talking about this technology killing jobs, but
it seems like in your case, it's really experienced human
workers that made the big difference. It did. I have
to say, the process coaches, the area coaches, You know,
they get up every morning, they look at the last
shift's quality data, we look at how many vehicles are
repaired, and we work that process every moment of every
day. Every employee walks into any one of our plants,
they know exactly are we winning or are we losing
yesterday and today. Everyone is fully aware. of where we
stand. We know exactly where Toyota is. We knew exactly
how to, you know, where we needed to get to,
to beat Tundra and, and Super Duty better than any
of the other domestic competitors. And so everyone is aware
exactly the quality is coming out of our plant in
any particular shift. every 50 seconds and and that is
that human motivation to pay attention to everyone everything is
amazing look we make 85 of our vehicles in the
u.s matt that means these are u.s factory workers versus
even our domestic competitors they're some of the biggest employers
in the u.s We're not building these vehicles in South
Korea or Japan. These are American workers beating Toyota and
Hyundai and our domestics who import their vehicles. We beat
them all. Yeah, baby, we beat them. We're the American
workers, but... The story that I really that and I
saw this we were waiting the airport in Austin and
had the screen and so on. Before you go on,
what did he say in that clip that was anything?
That's what I said. It's a cover-up. They switched back
from a whole bunch of engineering tasks, which I think
is assembly line tasks, that they had decided to use
AI for. And they said, no, no, now we have,
because it was a big story. They rehired hundreds of
Ford engineers, assembly line.
people because the robots were doing a crap job. They
weren't tightening the bolts. You know, stuff was falling apart,
rattling out off the assembly line. So he spins it
as we, you know, when the next people come on
the line, they've checked with the people before them did
because we love our country. We love our truck. Where's
your jingle, man? This is a perfect time. Yeah, actually,
funny you'd ask about that. Perfect timing for it. As
I yak. As I'm talking. As you stall. So I
can find it. Hello? Exactly. So, but that's a chink
in the armor. of the AI craze. But what happened
on CNBC, and this was like a 20-minute segment, Alex
Karp, I don't know if you saw this, he's the
CEO of Palantir, the company that somehow people believe has...
I saw parts of this. He went nuts. great. He
even said, well, I'm going nuts. Yeah, he said that.
I saw that part. You know, people, and we've had
people who work at Palantir email us. with boots on
the ground. It's like, you know, they're not even really
an AI company. You know, they sit on top of
Oracle databases and all kinds of other stuff. And they
have... some proprietary, and they've been doing this for a
long time, but somehow people believe that when you take
Palantir and you put your flock cameras in there and
all the data centers, they're going to control every single
move and we're all going to die. And Palantir, which
of course has got Jews in there, they're going to
control us all. I read the documents as how it
was all gonna go down. But that's not true at
all. In fact... their applications sit on top of, if
anything, AI, sit on top of the large language models.
And he... I think partially because their stock price has
gone down because they don't have a sexy AI story.
I think that's why he's mad, even though... They're all
billionaires. They've made so much money. Oh, yeah, heaven forbid.
But what he said here was absolutely spot on. So
the general way these things were sold, and again, these
people are, Sam and Dario, there's nothing more fun than
debating Dario in private. So I'm not throwing shade at
them. I'm not throwing shade at them, okay? But something
has gone completely wrong, and the basic view among enterprises
in this country is I'm going to chill. What? Who's
Dario? The CEO of Anthropic. Oh, okay, right. He's complaining
about open AI and Anthropic. And... The basic view among
enterprises in this country is I'm going to chill wax
and waste my time with tokens. I'm going to get
no value and they're going to get my IP. That
sounds like shade. Okay. And not to shade. It sounds
like you're saying these. No, no, no, no, no. This
is reporting. Okay. Hold on. Can you stop it again?
Yeah, sure. The one part about this interview that... that
just almost made me just... I don't know why. He's
going to break something. At one point, the carp... And
this is an interview with what's-his-name of the New York
Times, or no, with CNBC, used to be the New
York Times. The Sorkin Kid. Yeah. Is it Sorkin? Yeah.
Yeah, it's the Sorkin kid. Yeah, Andrew Sorkin. Andrew Sorkin.
Andrew Ross Sorkin. Oh, I'm sorry. A-R-S. Andrew Ross Sorkin.
Yes. Karp says, well, I'm going to tell you something.
The New York Times, if they got a hold of
that, I would never say this ever in a million
years, but I'm going to say it because... And I
know the New York Times, I hope they're not listening.
I hope the Washington Post is not listening. But I'm
going to tell you something. Sorkin interrupts him and asks
another question. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Sorkin wants none of
this. What is wrong with this guy? Sorkin? Yeah. Oh,
it's his job to keep this going. It's not their
job to report on. There's only one. I think... The
old dude, Joe, what's his name? Joe Kernan. I think
he's pretty good. He's a fly in the ointment. He's
the Dvorak of CNBC. And he sits there, but he's
not quite as... He doesn't get all the gays. Abrasive.
But, you know, and all the rest is like, market's
going down, buy the dip. Market's going up, you don't
want to miss out. I mean, that's all they do.
Yeah, CNBC is known as perpetual bulls. And that's okay.
But what he's saying here, and I got five very
short clips because the whole thing was 20 minutes. So
I think these are the key points. So here he
is saying, hey, this thing is bull crap. That's basically
what he's saying. I'm going to get no value and
they're going to get my IP. That sounds like shade.
And not just shade, it sounds like you're saying these.
No, no, no, no. This is reporting. Okay. And this
is reporting. I'm doing your job. sorkin that i've i've
literally against my own interest called these like i'm profiting
from this right Okay, so he's saying he's doing reporting
here. It's good for his business. That's interesting that he
is open about that. But I'll just give you a
preview. What he's saying is... that corporate America I got
the bill for tokens. And went, okay, this is not
paying off. This is not replacing people. It's costing more
than the people that I want to replace this with.
Hence the Ford clips you played previously. Yes, yes. And
it's not really doing the job we were promised. But
in addition, what's happening with my data? If I'm using
open AI or anthropics models, are you just sucking up
my data and using that? Well, the answer is yes,
of course. And so he's going to talk about weights
and alpha. These are all proprietary things that you can.
you can adjust a large language model with. Then you
have my enterprises in the private sector who have the
same issues. They're like, why would they get access to
my data if they're going to build my alpha? Why
wouldn't I control the weights? And that's where you get
this partnership. What aligns me with NVIDIA and I think
is what the cost technical customers want which is control
over their compute their models, their data stack, and their
alpha. They want to know they own the means of
production. It's not being transferred to someone else. They're not
interested in some fake deploy code that somehow is deploying
tokens that transfers the alpha. Okay, so this sounds a
little complicated, but you have to understand that Palantir just
did a direct deal with NVIDIA, and they're going to
run open large language models that their customers control and
own. And whatever comes out of it will be their
intellectual property and not open AI or anthropics. This is
a complete... destruction of the model that is supposed to
make these companies, trillion-dollar companies and their IPOs, which as
far as I can tell are being delayed. Here's a
very simple version of it that CARB gives us. Our
products are agnostic. We now sell a product to customers
that allows you to switch from model to model. And
we're completely agnostic. But we need to rebuild trust. And
that trust is going to happen where everyone gets to
ask and answer basic questions. Who owns the data? Where
is it cached? Are the prompts secure? Is this being
transferred to you? Are you being, okay, if it was
so valuable, let's say I can make you a billion
dollars tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, I'll make you a billion
dollars and I want 30%? Why are they charging for
tokens if it's so valuable? Yes. I think we even
said this a while back. If you can create any...
business if you can recreate it why wouldn't you just
go into that business Why are you selling things at
a loss that clearly this tokens is not making you
enough money? And he's saying, you know, if this was
really so good. Why wouldn't I just take 30% of
the profits that I make? Well, because it sucks. Because
it's not. It's no good. But I'm telling you, in
this country, at every single enterprise I deal with, these
people are livid. They're like, I am paying for tokens
that create no value. These people are stealing the weights
and alpha of my business. And they're creating a wealth
tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes.
Starts with the billionaires, every single person at this table
is going to be paying a wealth tax only to
punish us. And the reason for it is because these
models have been completely over irresponsibly over sale. And the
sale is it's dangerous for everyone, which is why I
can give it to all your adversaries, but I can't
give it to the Department of War or I can't
safely give it to an enterprise. in this country without
being certain that the alpha of that business could transfer
to this model tomorrow, i.e. I have no business, no
job. You sound pretty angry. No, this is the voice
of American business that is being channeled through me. He's
right. Yes, I think he's spot on. And so, of
course, now we have the bubble question. I want everybody
watching this to test what I'm saying, especially investors who
think somehow this is working. Pick up the phone and
call a CEO in private, not in public. Every single
person here can do this. Call two or three and
say, Madman Carp is on TV saying we're livid. I'm
not going to quote you. You know I won't quote
you. You have a history. And see, they're twice as
livid as me. So if you're right, though, does that
mean that we are living in some kind of terrible
AI bubble and that we're going to, in a quarter
or two or three quarters from now, we're going to
hear that big enterprises are canceling their subscriptions? to these
products.
The build-out is going to slow. He is just buffaloing
through them like, oh, you said that this is what's
going to happen. You're just crazy, man. This is the
tragedy of it. The reality of compute plus ontology plus
model is changing the course of history. Ask the Ukrainians,
ask the Israelis, ask our Department of War, ask the
enterprises that are working. We do not have to oversell
what we have. We have, and it's all being built
in this country. Basically, except for the open models, which
is a real thing coming from China, except for NVIDIA
open models, which are world-class, basically. all being built here
we do not have to overhype we do not have
to overhype it to the point where we're going to
have wealth tax punishing right if they're charging the enterprise
three times as much as they should be yeah and
then and then they have to pull back on that
that changes the math of all of this yes it
does sorkin child yes exactly This and And as nutty
as Karp is, he's right. This stupid marketing gamut of,
it's just too dangerous. We just can't give it to
you. I'm sorry. No, no, we have to. The Department
of War said it. Trump said it. Yeah, that's been
deconstructed by more than a few people. Bull crap. Total
bull crap. And then I don't know if you saw,
neither of us are on the mic. I'm not on
Microsoft at all anymore, but you're wisely, you're still on
Vista. And are you on Vista or 10? What are
you on? Are you talking about my operating system? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. You're on Windows, but you're on a special
one that doesn't upgrade. I'm a special old version of
10. Yeah. It's 10. That doesn't upgrade. Right. It doesn't
upgrade. Well, did you hear what happened on Patch Tuesday?
No, but I can just imagine. So Patch Tuesday. Patch
Tuesday has always been. issue. Right, but this was the
biggest Patch Tuesday in Microsoft's Patch Tuesday history. And over
200 bugs appeared, including... Bit locker keys being required. Now,
if no one's ever seen this, Where? Something happens with
your windows. And then you get a blue screen that
says, yeah, this is a dangerous version. This could be
fake. So you have to enter your 3,000-digit BitLocker key.
which you then have to get from the Microsoft website.
Have you ever been through this loop? I know, thank
God. Oh, Lord. The BitLocker loop is crazy. And so
just imagine you're an IT guy and you have, I
don't know, 400 desktops. Try 10,000. You have to go
and find a BitLocker key for every single one. The
trash, if you want to empty the trash. across the
board now, Windows. If you want to empty the trash...
The dialogue pops up, "Are you sure you want to
delete?" J6529322278#$#? So it doesn't give you the file names
anymore of what you think you're going to delete. And
at the same time, you've got Satya Nadella. saying Why,
you know, 30% of our code is coded by AI.
Yeah, no kidding. This is what's going on with this
stuff. It's no good. And so then CNBC follows up
with the stories, which are obvious that people are like,
you know, this stuff is not. not working for me
in my business on the balance sheet. I think it
makes sense. The market is trying to understand sort of
the new narrative around the MAG7 because they went from
asset-like companies that produced a lot of free cash flow
now to ones that are more balance sheet intensive, actually
funding what will look like a larger balance sheet. I
do think investors are going to start to view that
balance sheet as a workforce, right? I mean, the reason
they're spending so much money is to replace essentially human
endeavors with AI. that balance sheet is going to be
deployed and generate returns. So I think over time, investors
are going to start to view that as as a
moat. But you're right. We're in a transition period of
that narrative. Yeah, of the narrative, but not of reality.
Tom, I guess maybe the big arching question, overarching question
right now is whether or not this dip is the
sign or beginning of something deeper or whether or not
investors should be comfortable just buying. All right. So this
is CNBC. So all of these big AI trades, stocks,
the chips, Nvidia, everything is down 8%, 9%, 10%. So
what is the answer from CNBC? Well, we know what
the answer is. Dom, we published a note yesterday looking
at the 17 times that the SEMI index, SMH, had
fallen six percent more in a single day. It may
or may not surprise viewers, but these almost always occur
in the middle of a bull market, that these sharp
one-day drops are not a sign of a top, but
are actually rather viable entry points. One month later, 88%
of the time, the... the semi index is higher with
a 12 median gain meaning your six percent drop is
more than recovered within a month so by the day
i actually think this is a buy the pullback there
it is by the dip everybody pull back by the
pullback All right. By the crash. I'm not. By the
crash. We should have stickers. Buy the Crash. This is
a good show title. Yes, that is a good show
title. by the crash. So this thing, I mean, we
knew it was gonna unwind, but it may come sooner
than we thought actually. Well, this is just foreboding. uh
yeah it's good nobody knows i mean that's the thing
about it These things are always kind of surprise. Well,
in hindsight, like two years later, well, yeah, you could
see it coming. No, you couldn't. Nobody could. Well, but
I'm an active user of this stuff. There was a
great. Yeah, you're the you're the two of us. Yes.
I mean, I use you. perplexity and I draw, I
use some of the art tools, I use Sonos. Yeah,
search stuff, search stuff. Suno, not Sonos, Suno, Sonos. Suno,
Sumo. No, I'm an active user of Claude Code and...
And I happen to... Yeah, and all you do is
complain. People don't realize that after the show, when we
do our post-mortem and figure out what R to use
and all the rest, you always have some horrific story
about how the thing screwed up. Yeah. And you're talking
to yourself constantly now. Yes. about it. You know, I
don't see how it's going to do on this. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yay. Yeah. It made it. It made it.
It made it through. And you're moaning. Yeah. You become
kind of a psychopath. There's this great video. I think
I, I post, I reposted it on X. And it
shows you a guy working. working with AI, like a
coding guy. And he says, "Okay, cut the sandwich in
half." And then the other guy, which is him, has
a Subway sandwich. And so the AI guy starts to
cut it lengthwise. No, no, no, stop. I said the
other way. And then so it tries to cut it
on the, you know, it flips it on its side.
wants to cut it. lengthwise, but right into the meat
of the sandwich. No, no, the other way. Turns it
upside down. I mean, it goes on and on and
on and on. Because that's exactly what it's like. It
is so, so close to reality of what this AI
stuff, not all the time. When it works, it's great.
But man, I don't want it flying my plane. I
don't want it operating my oil business. No, it's just
been oversold. I mean, there's great stuff. There's great stuff
to do with it. But I wouldn't trust it with
my taxes. I mean, as long as you don't get
an audit, it might be great. You did great this
year on your taxes. Or not. Or not. Yeah. So
what was your clip that you wanted to play? I
had two clips now. Let's start with this. Since you
talked about, you know, the danger, let's play the Tesla
kills a woman. Didn't we already play this one? I
just got it. Tonight, a woman was killed, two people
injured when a Tesla crashed into an outdoor scene. Oh,
that's new. There's just so many of these stories. Didn't
you just do this story? Yeah. Okay, now the other
one is... I'll just say this. That's not really AI.
I mean, this is machine learning that's been done and,
you know, this is rules and sensors. It's not really
an AI story. No, neither one of these stories is
really an AI story. Oh, okay. But this other one,
which I... Because I didn't even think about this until
this woman. This paranoid chick, big mouth girl with a,
you know, not unattractive. toothy, goes on and on with
this paranoid delusion. But then I started looking at the
numbers. I was thinking... She's right about the basics here.
Do you realize that operation in Utah, they're trying to
build a big data center? Yes. That Kevin O'Leary is
somehow behind? No, no. Yeah, this has been going on
for a while, and there's some left-wing group that he
says is funded by China. They're the ones behind the
protests. Oh, yeah. It's been an ongoing thing. Now, Kevin
O'Leary is cited in covert. Action Magazine.
As a spook. Mmm. not as an asset. Oh, a
spook for some other outfit? No, for the outfit. Oh,
the outfit. Hmm, okay. Maybe, maybe. Well, I don't know
one way or the other, and I, you know, you
could probably... You know what's gonna tell ya, cause you
can't do that legally if he is, but they kind
of imply it in the magazine, you know, covert action
has been around since 78. And, you know, it's just
sketchy, but. leery sketchy so so so so then this
woman chimes in with this this is the data center
paranoia clip. This is the whole, this is it. Does
she mention Palantir in this clip? She better, because that's
what I'm hearing. No, just play it. They're calling them
data centers because calling them mass surveillance centers would probably
send people into a spiral. They're literally building the infrastructure
for a surveillance. state and they're doing it right in
front of your face. It's going to be fully capable
of monitoring your speech, your behavior, your purchases. It's going
to essentially harvest your biometrics and create an entire digital
profile for you. People are trying to say that something
like this would never happen. There's a 90 chance on
polymarket that something like this is prohibited. Utah just got
approved for a massive data center blueprint. This data center
in Utah is going to be 63 square miles. Do
you guys know how massive that is? I'm talking almost
three times the size of a car. Manhattan and 200
times the size of the NSA's data center that already
exists in Utah. Why does Utah need a 63 square
mile data center? And by the way, it's going to
be using up double the electricity that Utah uses currently.
Honestly, why does the country need anything like that for
that matter? So I'm asking you to just ask yourself
if this is really for the betterment of society and
storing family photos and for you, or is it for
mass surveillance? Yeah, this is a known meme going around.
across the political spectrum. Okay, so I just had to
look into the numbers here. Now, she's wrong about three
times. We're talking twice. You've been to Manhattan. Yep. Can
you imagine the entire Manhattan Island a data center? you
Because I looked into it. Manhattan Island is 23,000. Depends.
You can get different numbers. But the maximum number you
get for acreage is 23,000 acres. That's Manhattan Island. The
proposal for the Utah data center is 40,000 acres. Yeah,
great. That's roughly twice the size of Manhattan. You can't,
what do you, how do you... build put put that
many computers in the in the entire city of manhattan
let alone two manhattans How do you even wire that?
I mean, if I was anybody, I'd be buying copper
futures. I mean, there's just, it doesn't make any sense
in terms of this. The magnitude. Well, okay, so a
couple things. One, let's just talk about what she's saying,
and then we'll get to the magnitude of it. She's
saying these data centers, yeah, there's data centers all over
the world that are being built in Canada, the UK,
Mexico, Saudi Arabia. And this is what the hyperscale, this
is the AI race as to who's going to be
done first with the data center that's going to have
all the NVIDIA chips in there that is going to
run the compute, the compute for all of the stuff
that we're going to need for the stuff that clearly
doesn't work well enough. And somehow in the corpus of
the lexicon of the citizen this has turned into and
this is why i'm surprised you didn't mention palantir this
this is the surveillance state which darling the surveillance state
is the phone in your pocket It's already here. The
data centers, it's not going to. surveil you. It's a
data center. Somehow they think that a big data center
means more surveillance. No. The phone in your pocket is
doing all of that for you, and it's going to
data brokers sold by Google. Facebook meta. And you're actively
involved in it. So that's what people are saying. And
then the flock cameras. Oh, the flock cameras. Oh, they
got everything. Oh, by the way, it's funny. She was
doing that, of course, on her phone. Oh yeah, of
course, of course. Yeah, no, already I can see the
troll room. Oh yeah, Adam's going to say it's not
for... No, data centers do not surveil you. The systems
surveil you, and you have that in your pocket. In
fact, you're typing on it right now, you idiots. You're
typing on it. If you're on Windows, you're on a
surveillance system. So you don't need a 63 square mile
data center for that. I think O'Leary. got over his
skis on this one. This is my theory on that.
got over his skis he's like holy crap this thing
because he's not dumb This thing's going to come apart
at the seams. I have committed to too much compute.
too much acreage. And so he's already like, oh, okay,
we're going to scale this back. We're going to make
it smaller because these people are making my life difficult.
I think he's the first one to see that. This
is not what he thought it was going to be.
This whole thing was a real estate play to begin
with. That's why Musk is saying, no, no, we've got
to have data centers in space. I can't wait for
those. On the moon. And everyone's all into it. Oh
yeah, oh yeah, wait until Elon's data center's in space.
Okay. Are these going to be circling around and using
solar? Well, they went over to the South Pole where
it's nice and cold. Yeah, all kinds of places. That
would be a good place to have them. But you're
not allowed to go to the South Pole because that's
where they have the saucers. um So there's a couple
of things that are flowing here. And then you have
the elect. the electricity part and municipalities are seeing this
and they're getting mad you've got the farming part where
the farmer's like hey you're taking away farmland that'll never
come back the whole thing is a bad idea well
in utah that's yeah and and so the smart there's
no farm the smart money and i'll just say nvidia
the only company really making money off of this They're
saying, yeah, you know what? Just run it on your
computer at home. That's the way to go. They're selling
little computers. Yes, yeah. They've got the DGX Spark and
they've got these clones by MSI. And the cheapest one
is $3,000 now, but that'll come down. Well, this is
all fine and dandy what you're saying. And you're right,
and I'm not arguing about the local is where it's
all headed. But what is the point of even specking
out a data center the size of Manhattan Island? He's
not called Mr. Wonderful for nothing. That doesn't answer the
question. Yes, because the money was there, the money was
flowing. But what would be the point of it? To
take 10% of the money before it all goes bankrupt.
The whole thing is a giant scam. That's the point
of it. There's no need for this. There's no need
for it. And I'm telling you, well, how do you
even get to the point of signing off? On a
data center. Dude, people bought it. The size of Manhattan
Island. John, people. Who signs off on this? How do
you scam that money? Have you not watched CNBC? We
literally just had an IPO that made. Elon Musk a
trillionaire on the promise he's going to put data centers
in space. That's even crazier than a datacenter the size
of Manhattan. This is, let's talk about reality. This is
crazy. It's absolutely nuts. Canada! Canada! who normally just frown
and look unhappy and they complain, they send letters. I
don't like this data center. Listen to what's happening in
Canada. This is becoming a familiar sound of protest in
Canada. Large groups of people are gathering in the streets.
of people saying they don't want giant tech companies building
enormous data centers near them. It's already a widespread backlash
to the growing AI boom and the heavy demands it
places on land, electricity, and water. Happy Birthday! This group
was in Saskatchewan, but similar protests have erupted in Ontario,
British Columbia, Alberta. One study calculates that applications are in
the works for more than 90 new data centers. Nonetheless,
the federal government recently gave the green light to two
new data facilities in Vancouver. The Carney government says they're
important to establishing what it calls... Digital sovereignty. That means
cutting our dependence on other countries, especially the U.S., to
develop and store much of our data abroad. Ottawa insists
new data infrastructure is necessary for Canadian independence. I like
it. No, eh, say no to AI, eh? A-A-I-A? A-I-A?
Oh.
They're right. They're right. Simmer down, everybody. This stuff is
just, I've been using it for a year and a
half trying to figure it out. We know the chatbots
are evil because people are so gullible, but none of
this is really working. And then, okay, now we move
on to the next technology scam. With no evidence whatsoever.
even though I'm a big believer that we've had the
technology since at least the 70s, but probably the 80s
and 90s. All of a sudden, we've had a successful
test of a directed energy weapon. Don't show it to
anybody, but just trust Pete. Secretary Hegseth shared that the
first milestone test. of the Golden Dome for America was
a success and that directed energy was harnessed to eliminate
incoming threats. So obviously the Pentagon is wanting to buy
these to use them against our adversaries. What do you
think of the investment in these types of weapons? It's
definitely needed, Katie. Obviously, you know, knocking down $2,000 drones
with million, $2 million SM-2, SM-6 missiles or Patriot missiles,
just, you know, your enemy can bankrupt you. So we
have to deploy these lasers. They're on board Navy ships.
They're on ground-based units now. So the economics are starting
to level the battlefield here. These direct energy weapons are
pretty high speed. They've been in use for a while,
and as Eric said, they are a wide variety. But
as you alluded to the Havana syndrome, these have been
used for a while, and they can be debilitating. I
think the president kind of let it slip that we
use some of the stuff during Absolute Resolve when we
went in there to get Maduro. So these, it's a
new level of warfare, but it's definitely leveling the playing
field. Yeah, he let it slip actually during our interview
with him at the White House. I'm glad we asked
about that. And then he went on to call it
discombobulator. Now. If you and I ran, uh... Raytheon or
Northrop Grumman. Don't you think we would have videos all
over the place of this stuff? for sales. Well, it
depends. If it works. Well... Pegseth said, oh, I saw
it. I saw it happen. We zapped drones right out
of the air. And this, of course, begets more questions
about Havana syndrome. These weapons seem to be in the
hands of many factions that are operating without oversight. So
this is an absolute threat to domestic America. You know,
all enemies, foreign and domestic, we have these factions running
around without oversight. There's personnel that are damaged. The Department
of War lied about this for many years, saying they
didn't know what was causing Havana Syndrome. They said they
had no idea. Nobody has this technology. Well, guess what?
The Department of War this year stated, we possess directed
energy weapons and we're safe. Scaling them up. Yeah, baby.
We're going to zap your brain. And first we're going
to collect all your data, put it into the Biggs
data center so we control you. People are not thinking
logically, John. I mean, I'm seeing it in the troll
room right now. Ben Rose is a smart guy. He's
like, they're just going to control us once they have
all the data in the data center. Bro! Don't put
your data in the data center. There's no need for
it. Yeah, just keep everything local. Use Linux. And use
a flip phone. Yeah, there's another thing you should do.
I agree with that. You don't have to give everything
voluntarily. Oh, I use my old, old version of Windows.
10 they can't be upgraded that's not that's not too
bad That's the most stable machine I have. But, you
know, when you had a medical emergency. couldn't even get
into your computer where where where is this true where's
the service can say, oh, don't worry, we've got you
covered. Here's all John's passwords. You can send the email
newsletter again. Yeah. Couldn't get in. None of this makes
any sense. And that's the way it remains. But this
is the Black Pill vibe that we're seeing everywhere. Oh,
it's just lost. We're just, well, hold on. Let me
tweet something about how lost. we are with all our
data. Let me take a photo and let me put
that on the cloud. Tell everyone how lost we are
with our data that they're harvesting in the huge data
centers. people stupid? I guess. Well, they have to be
stupid to even imagine a data center. The size of
Manhattan. island and then then you say well how about
twice the size of manhattan island You can't do- what
are you nuts? Yeah. Have you seen the gigafactories that
Musk builds? Those things are minuscule by comparison. Yeah. No,
that was just an investor scam. Well, it has to
be. Of course it is. But at what level do
people go, wait a minute, it makes no sense. You
can't build a building that's the size of a Manhattan
Island. Look at all the buildings that are on Manhattan.
I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. No. I
know. I know. Well, that's the point of that clip.
Well, that was a good clip. But you hear it.
You hear it. It's everywhere. Man. And Palantir's going to
control us all and the flock cameras. The flock cameras.
That's my favorite. The flock camera. Yeah, the flock camera
scandal reminds me of. what i think it was a
number of years ago you know they they pretty much
wired up a lot of england the uk especially london
totally yeah and people would said there's there's it's overwired
they got cameras everywhere no one knows what the hell's
going on It can't be monitored. Or maybe AI can
monitor it. AI can monitor a lot, yeah. AI's already
had a... We have documented women and men who have
been arrested for being here or there, and they weren't
there because AI misidentifies. AI's no good. I'm pretty sure
that Larry Ellison didn't help at all. When he, uh...
I'll just replay this clip. Now, Oracle, if you want
to talk about data harvesting, Oracle definitely is a company
to be worried about. They are the de facto data.
They are data brokers. They are data harvesters. And when
he was at the Stargate conference, what happened to that,
by the way? What happened to the magic Stargate? Where'd
that go? Is that still being built? Or that dwarfs
in comparison to the entire data center on Manhattan Island
by the guy on Shark Tank. Here is what he
said then. The police will be on their best behavior
because we're constantly recording, watching and recording everything that's going
on. Citizens will be on their best behavior. because we're
constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. and it's
unimpeachable. The cars have cameras on them. I think we
have a squad car here someplace. But those kind of
applications... Using AI, if we can use AI, and we're
using AI to monitor the video, so if that altercation
had occurred, it occurred in Memphis, the chief of police
would be immediately notified. It's not people that are looking
at those cameras. It's AI that's looking at the camera.
No, no, no. You can't do this. It would be
like a shooting. That's going to be immediately, that's going
to be an event that's immediately, an alarm is going
to go off, and we're going to... have supervision. In
other words, every police officer is going to be supervised.
at all times they are now and the supervision will
uh and and if there's a problem AI will report
the problem and report it to the appropriate person, whether
it's the sheriff or the chief or whomever we need
to. take control of the situation. We have drones. If
there's something going on in a shopping center, and I'll
stop, a drone goes out there way faster than a
police car. There's no reason for, by the way, high-speed
chases. You shouldn't have high-speed chases between cars. You just
have a drone follow the car. I mean, it's very
simple. And then new generation of autonomous drones. Yeah, okay.
as Larry. That's what Larry does. I'm selling you the
future, baby, and you will love it. Doesn't it sound
great? He's gone off the deep end with that commentary.
Sensei, sensei, back off the sushi. You're eating bad fish.
Yeah. course. Meanwhile, you have to deal with the following.
Here's Johnny. From your Jesse Waters show. On the Jersey
Shore. When he's on the Jersey Shore- asking people simple
questions about the Independence Day that's coming up, which is,
by the way... July 4th is on Saturday. Yeah, it's
just around the corner. Uh... He's going to ask a
few questions about Independence Day on the Jersey Shore amongst
the classic Americans that you run into. There was one
person that did answer all the questions correctly. I cut
most of that out. Now, of course, because not only
is man on the street already skewed, but you can
skew the skewed. So good job. Good work. Johnny hit
the Jersey Shore for a good old-fashioned Independence Day quiz.
Why do we celebrate the 4th of July? Ummm... I
honestly couldn't answer that. Well, actually not sure. Be lit
and enjoy life. How old is America turning this year?
Hello. I have no idea. 58. 58. Is it actually?
No. 250?
Where do we declare our independence from? Explain that a
little bit further. What do you mean by where? The
United States. Mozambique, Africa. What was the name of the
war in which we fought for our independence? Civil War.
The Civil War. Yeah. No. Um, oh God. I actually
don't know. The Reb. Bruh, I don't know. French and
Indian War. World War II. The Revolutionary War. What was
the name of the general that led us to victory
in the Revolutionary War? Um... Does it begin with an
A? Washington? GENERAL Hitler. It was not Hitler. Then I
have no idea. What year did we declare our independence?
Um... This is a very wide... 1920. 1786 1776 1654.
Democrats, they like to say Donald. Trump is the king
but we know we don't have kings in this country
because we kicked a king to the curb what was
his name? Oh my god might need some multiple choice
here King Tut King Charles or something? Neptune? Who signed
the Declaration of Independence? William Shakespeare. Lincoln? Wake up! George
Bush. Yeah. King Tut. King Tut was a good one.
You'd be surprised how many educated, intelligent people who are
friends. Uh... when they said oh man you're gonna be
over there for the fourth of july so yeah yeah
I said, do they celebrate the 4th of July there?
Five people at least have asked me this question. What?
Yeah. And today is... It's the same thing with... Do
they celebrate the 4th of July over there? Or do
the same thing with Thanksgiving. It's like, no. The old
joke is, do they have a 4th of July in
Holland? Well, yes. Something between the 3rd and the 5th.
Yeah. And they usually realize their mistake. Like, oh, that's
kind of stupid. But it comes so easily to us.
Yeah. I mean, I was just going through clips today,
I'm like... Man, everything is so cynical and negative and
downer and... And yes, we got the 4th of July.
We should be happy. I remember the bicentennial. I'm old
enough to remember 1976. I was in America. We came
back. on leave from Europe? And it was great. I
think we were in Rhode Island for some reason. And
it was fantastic and everyone was happy. fireworks and drill
teams, drill teams. It was fantastic. That's how I remember
it. And I just see... Yeah, just negative, negative, almost
everywhere, except the people on Fox. It's just the media.
I mean, I don't think it's just generally. No, but
what do we do? It's not even negative around here,
and I'm in Berkeley. Yeah, but we deconstruct media. So
when I'm going through clips, I'm like, oh, man, this
is all that it is. It's just America sucks. We've
got a king. He's no good. This was a whole...
Jake Tapper just went off on Trump's disclosure. Now, I'm
pretty sure that... uh world financial and the trump meme
coin and all that stuff I'm pretty sure that was
all done and wrapped up before he became president. Do
you recall? I do not recall, but I do have
the Trump reports crypto earnings CBS clip. Yeah, let's kick
it off with that and then we'll do some analysis
from Jake Tapper. We have breaking news now from the
White House. about President Trump's bank account tonight. including hundreds
of millions from selling those Trump meme coins. Tony, good
evening. figures jumped out because of how big they are.
President Trump's financial disclosure reveals he reported more than $1.4
billion in income from his family's cryptocurrency ventures last year,
including $635 million in royalties from those Trump meme coins
and more than $500 million financial token sales, which is
a venture he and his sons co-founded. Tonight, the White
House says there are no conflicts of interest. Also new
tonight, President Trump just announced the Republican Party will hold
a convention for the midterm elections for the first time
ever in Dallas in September. He says it will include
a massive rally and entertainment. Tony. Yeah, so... Let's just
set a couple of things apart here. So World Financial,
which is run by the Trump brothers, which they sold
to, I think they sold the majority, if not all
of it, to Qatar, to the... the Goomba over there,
whatever his name is. Goomba. The Goomba, yes. And that's
a stablecoin company. It's a completely legitimate business. Coinbase is
in it. There's tons of companies doing it. Tether, Circle.
And just to make it simple to understand, it could
actually be very good for America because that shifts the
treasury auctions. and the interest rates from the Federal Reserve
to the Treasury. So the Treasury can say, you know
what, and these will all be short-term bonds, you want
to create $10 million of stablecoin, you have to buy
$10 billion or $10 million. of treasuries. So it's backed
by treasuries. And already over $30 trillion in stable coins
being used around the world. It's a great way to
expand our currency dominance, which you want. You want the
dollar to exist. If you're an American, you want the
dollar to continue. And that's a legitimate business. They're very
small in comparison to Tether, which is actually owned by
our Commerce Secretary, or he's the agent for it, which
is, what's his face? Smiley guy. A commerce secretary. Yeah,
not Besson. No, no, no, the commerce secretary. Yeah, I'm
trying to think of his name. I'm blanking for a
second. And that's a legitimate business. And the way you
make money, and there's a big argument in Congress right
now, the way you make money is you buy the
treasuries and there's a pretty good deal right now because
you get a guaranteed 4.5%. um interest on those treasuries.
And so all you're doing is just creating a digital
token for each treasury and you collect the interest. Now,
the big argument over the Clarity Act, which you might
have heard about, is can we also offer benefits to
people who buy our stable coin? And the banks are
saying no. because then you have to be a bank
because banks have, you know, deposit insurance. And so that's
what the Clarity Act is all about. um and the
stablecoin's legit business now the meme coin that trump did
i tried to do that I really tried to do
that. I had crap partners. We were going to do...
You were in Holland. Holland, yeah. advertising in Dutch. Yeah.
I saw one of these ads. Yeah. You're promoting this
coin. What happened? um they could well so we were
going to an ico an initial coin offering that is
that is there's tens of thousands of them and what
you do is you say okay We're going to issue
this coin and this coin can be used to go
to concerts. This is our deal. Concerts, meet artists. You
know, if you have X number of coins and the
coins have value and they have value because of this.
And it's all about marketing. And just as we were
doing that, and this is all based on Ethereum. This
is a long time ago. um the Ethereum price kind
of collapsed and no one really wanted to do ICOs.
And these partners were Dutch. That was the first problem.
We just couldn't get it off the ground. And then
they didn't want to put any money into it. They
never paid half of my bills. So it was a
rip. It was a loser. It was a loser, yeah.
But it could have been an instant where, oh, boom.
And you could have made a billion dollars. I would
not be doing this show. I would be sitting on
an island somewhere laughing it up. No, you'd probably be
wasting the billion dollars somehow. No, I already went through
one of those cycles. I'm like, I've learned. my lesson
on that. Yeah, that's what they always say. Yeah. Maybe
you would stop. And you know what? There's always the
podcast. I'd be like, I can always go back to
the podcast. And so, as Bill Gates used to always
say, you need. Catch him. In the early days, he'd
say, well, if this never, if this. Microsoft's idea doesn't
work out. I can always go back to coding. Lutnik.
Howard Lutnik. He's the guy. Howard Lutnik, our Commerce Secretary.
So the meme coin, yeah, it's a... You know, it's
no better or worse than Elon Musk with Doge and
all of this stuff is... in essence, worthless or, you
know,
It's like a collectible. Spaceball cards. Trump has a lot
of collectible items. He knows it. He does the Bible,
the watch. He made like $8 million on the stupid
watch. It's all in the report. Yeah, and people are
going about, oh, this is corruption at the highest level.
I don't think so. I don't think there's anything wrong
with a president of the United States. who is, who...
who likes tchotchkes, which are junk. And people have sent
me most of the collector. There's two things missing from
my collection. Not that I'm asking. for these things, although
it's going to sound like it. I don't have a
Trump watch. And I don't have an Indiana. sweatshirt from
their championship. But... And I was wearing, at the meetup,
I was wearing Ohio State, and I was condemned for
not wearing Indiana, and I said, this cheap bastard's from
Indiana. If no one has ever sent me a sweatshirt.
But you have a Steve Jobs dollar coin. There's no
difference. But I did get to Steve Jobs. The best
digital thing I ever did was MTV.com. MTV.com was a
great deal for me. And of course I can't divulge
it because we settled out of. court no one has
any further comment but I started my company right after
that and I had a good run It's funny because
John Markoff of the New York Times was on top
of the same kind of idea, and he got NYT.com.
Oh, really? Yeah, that was his domain. So I two
domain stories and he and they bitched about it so
he just gave it to him well i had elvis.com
And for a while I had an email address going,
king at Elvis.com. And people would send emails. Hey, King.
I saw you at the 7-Eleven. I love your music.
Just go on and on and on. And I had
that for a long time. And then Priscilla Presley called
me. says, Hey, um, You got Elvis.com. I said, you
can have it. I'm not going to fight you. I'm
not going to fight Elvis. You can have it. I
gave it to her. Then when we built Budweiser.com. For
Anheuser-Busch, it was my client. Bud.com was owned by some
dude in the Texas backwoods. His name was probably Bud.
Totally. And he was a big fan of Budweiser. And
so Budweiser's like, oh man, this guy's going to jerk
us around. He's going to cost us millions of dollars.
So let me talk to him. Let me see what
we can do. Call the guy. He was exactly like
that. I'm just a fan. I just love my Bud.
It's really good. So, well, Budweiser would really, really like
to use that for their internet domain. Would you consider
parting with it? And he thought and he said. Do
you think you could get- Get me a six pack
of long neck signed by August Bush. I think I
could do that, sir. I think I could have it
hand-delivered to you. And that's how they got Bud.com back.
It's like a Seinfeld episode. Yeah. He was a good
old boy. He didn't want a lot of money. He
could have picked up a few. Dollars and cents? I
recommended that they fly him in on the jet and
give him a tour, but they didn't go for that.
So you should just do that. Anyway, he's not recommended
it. You should have said that's what he's demanding. Oh,
yeah. Well, I was young. Can I say I just
given up Elvis dot com. Yeah, you did. Still have
diaries.com. Still waiting for that million dollars to come in.
You have diaries.com and nothing's come of it? Nothing. I
think you missed the window. The window was early. It's
like the guy who had art.com. A decade ago. Yeah,
longer than that. Art.com. I know this for a fact.
Art.com sold for $1 million. Well, Broadcast.com bought Mark an
entire basketball team. Yeah, that's right. Yep. So anyway. The
Yahoo's at Yahoo. Let's listen to... Do you want to
listen to Tapper talk about it? Yeah, let's be here
a little bit. It's kind of fun. Today we're getting
a much clearer picture of just how much President Donald
Trump and his family have been profiting in many ways
since Trump's return to the White House. We're going to
walk you through multiple examples, starting with President Trump's newly
released 2025 financial... disclosure required by the Ethics in Government
Act of 1978 that shows his total income for 2025
exceeded $2.2 billion. That is up. from $622 million in
2024, before he returned to the White House. This 927-page
report is a s-- staggering look at President Trump's growing
fortune made, while he's president, through cryptocurrency holdings, royalty payments,
property investments, and much more. Now, Trump's total crypto earnings
alone totaled about $1.4 billion during his first year back
in office. Stop clip. Does he discuss? how this hurts
the taxpayers or how this involves the taxpayers or how
this involves taxpayer money. No, that he spent almost 45
minutes on just complaining about it. No, there was no
mensch. He brings on... Because there is no taxpayer scam
here. No. No, there's not at all. It's impropriety, man.
It's just a bad look, man. Own totaled about $1.4
billion during his first year back in office. $1.4 billion
with a B. Billion with a B. And it's important
to note, President Trump began making cryptocurrency regulations. or the
lack thereof. See, this is what they try to do.
What they're trying to do is saying, well, he made
all this money because he's got cryptocurrency regulations going. But
they already sold out. They already sold out on the
stable coin. It was $500 million. That was what they
got. Which went into, I think it went into, I
don't know if it went into Trump himself personally, but
probably into the Trump family money. That was it, but
that was before any regulation was in. A big part
of his presidency, some of the crypto earnings on the
financial disclosure include more than $526 million from sales of
cryptocurrency tokens tied to World Liberty Financial, LLC, which is
managed. That's factually false. They didn't sell any tokens. They
sold a piece or most of the company for that
money. Part by his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
Also, an agreement. paid Trump $635 million. No, I don't.
Oh, gosh, I'm racking my balls. I'll think of it.
This is thought to... To be behind the Trump meme
coin. which has plunged in value since he launched it
days before taking office. After Trump and Co. sold them,
they plunged from a high of $74.27. to their current
value around $1.70, according to Coinbase. Scam must be a
scam must be a scam. Let's talk about the royalties.
Royalties. Then there's more of the deals that Trump struck
to lend his name to random products and ventures which
lead to huge royalties and licensing fees such as Trump
watches generated 4.7 million dollars in royalties. Don't forget the
208,000 dollars related to a Bible. that the president frequently
promoted, plus $67,634 for Trump sneakers and fragrances. What exactly
is a Trump fragrance? You don't know. Aside from business
ventures, Trump's financial disclosure also includes gifts and his various
quote-unquote settlements with social media companies and news organizations whom
he sued. or threatened to. $8 million from Twitter or
X after Elon Musk settled with Trump last February. $16
million each from ABC and from CBS, donated to the
Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, of course. $24.5 million
from Facebook parent company Meta, also donated to the Trump
Library. $22 million from YouTube. given to the trust for
the National Mall. In terms of Trump's actual profit-making, It
is... unprecedented for a sitting president. And it's drawn criticism
from opponents and others who say there are multiple conflicts
of interest. The White House denies that. And today, Trump
downplayed any concerns that he could be profiting off the
presidency. What message does this send to average Americans, especially
those who may be struggling right now? I don't get
involved in my personal. We have funds that run my
money. To critics who say you're profiting off the presidency,
Mr. Well, you know why I'm profiting? Because the stock
market's going up. Everybody's profiting. The stock market is not
why he made 2.2. billion dollars last year oh man
okay here's the pbs version that will stop this nonsense.
Eric, I guess the big question here is if Mr.
Trump was not president, could he or would he have
made the same amount of money that he did? It's
hard to imagine that if he were not president that
there would that his meme coin or it would be
as as profitable as it has been or that there
would have been this
scale of investment in world liberty financial. Yes. What kind
of analysis is this? If he was not president then.
That's exactly. This is like, how much money did you
make, Mr. Curry? Well, I made an X amount of
money as a podcaster. Well, what would you have made
if you weren't a podcaster? Well, you know, it's logically
stupid. No, this is my favorite is, well, you have
a lot of listeners because you were already famous. Dude.
No. There was no podcast when I started podcasting in
2003, and you and I had to... drag this thing
out of the swamp. for years. Same type of thing.
yeah meme coin or it would be as as profitable
as it has been or that there would have been
the scale of investment in world liberty financial on the
stable coin it is it seems as if his status
as president is like intimately intertwined with the success of
those companies. Okay, hold on. So what we're doing here,
this is a trick. The implication, even though he's not
saying it directly, is that, which is a little different
than my analysis I just gave. This implication is that
this is corruption. This is play, a pay to play.
If he wasn't president, then the stable coin wouldn't exist.
Or the stable coin wouldn't be successful. Meme coin, meme
coin. That's not a stable coin. Meme coin, if he
wasn't president. The only reason, this is basically the analogy.
to Hunter Biden's art. Yeah, yeah. No one would buy
Hunter Biden's art if Biden wasn't president. It's true. That's
not the same thing as this. Okay, we'll continue. It's
like intimately intertwined with the success of those companies. And
I mean, the fact that he launched the meme coin
as they were gathering at a one more. What? One
more thing. With Hunter Biden's art, I'm giving Hunter Biden
a quarter of a million dollars to get favor with
somebody. I'm not buying a $10 meme coin so Trump
will do me a favor. There's no quid pro quo.
Well, you do get to go to a special dinner.
There's a special dinner for everyone who bought a meme
coin? Yes, yes, he does these dinners. Oh, I should
have bought one. Exactly. Trump's going to be there and
I don't have to pay for the dinner? It's a
free meal? Well, a lot of these people paid a
lot of money to get their meme coins i guess
so yeah the three days before his inauguration for what
was called the crypto ball it was a bunch of
crypto executives and and administration you know soon to be
administration officials there to celebrate his inauguration and that's the
night he launched it and and it was like follow
me as i lead the world um these things are
so intertwined. I think it's hard to imagine he would
have made as much money. He's never made this much
money in his entire life as he's made in this
one year. So I think that's part of your answer
right there. Oh, there you go. That's it. That's PBS,
man. We don't know this. No. Because his taxes have
never been released. How do we know that this is
the most he's ever made? We don't. Well, then why
didn't they say that they stated it as fact? This
is what I'm saying. Everything sucks. All the news is
this. Ugh. Yes. This was in interviews. So there must
have been pushback by the reporters saying, well, how do
we know that this is the most he's ever made?
He's never released his taxes. At least Ms. Now is
honest about it. And they just come out and say,
hey, we're doing all of this because of the midterms.
That's all that we're doing it about is for the
midterms, is 2028. And we're going to blank. at the
airways with all of this stuff non-stop until you vote
Democrat. No. The midterms for 2026, but... 2028 for the
next president. And we're going to blanket the airwaves until
you vote Democrat, you stupid people. In many ways, though,
our story in America has been our ability to- to
overcome adversity. This isn't the first time our nation has
faced adversity. But what we've done in every chapter of
our American story is, despite the challenges, we've ended that
chapter on a more... What's adversity? What? What adversity are
we in? Trump, he's just an adversity. He's the adversity
president. No, with more freedom, more opportunity, more justice, more
equity. I know it doesn't feel that way right now,
but we are in the midst of writing that chapter.
And it will be up to the American people, less
people with titles next to their name, more ordinary Americans
doing what Franklin said to that woman outside Independence Hall
that Meechum referenced, defending our republic, keeping our republic. The
work falls to all of us. That's why we need
a national referendum this November on Donald Trump's chaos and
cruelty and corruption. We need people to rise up and
vote. It's the trifecta. to chaos, cruelty, and corruption. And
I'm a sucker for alliteration. They nailed it on this
one. I know what the sea is today. This November
on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption, we need
people to rise up and vote and be a check
on this president. Begin to see our way out of
this darkness. toward more light, toward more sun. What? At
least they're honest about it. This is what I love.
They're honest about it. They're honest. There's two more from
this. This is so good. Oops, sorry, this one. I
mean, it is as clear as day in the 14th
Amendment. This case should have taken... regarding the 14th Amendment,
but it's all about Trump. A nanosecond to decide, and
it should have been 9-0. I gather some of the
justices were intimidated by Donald Trump sitting there in the
court, staring at them, glaring at them during that decision.
And then J.D. Vance comes along and says the quiet
part out loud. It's one of the reasons why we
have to win the United States Senate and not let
them appoint a justice should there be a vacancy who
would be younger, who would be there for a long
time and be more dangerous when it comes to eviscerating
the rights of Americans. So bottom line here is we
need real reform. in this country. It's gotta be people
centered and people powered. People power. And it's gotta come
as a result of people rising up, showing up at
the ballot box, demanding more from. Mail in ballots. Their
elected officials and ushering in a new chapter in this
country. One that gets us back to our roots of
being more hopeful, more inclusive. And more just. You see,
this is the point. Do you feel down with all
the messaging we're throwing in your face? Just vote Democrat
and everything will be more hopeful. And this is the
kicker, the last one in this series. Ty, I want
to ask you something of a personal question. I mean,
you represent Donald Trump. You worked closely with him. Now
you're a pretty vocal. of him. What do you think
of the lawyers who signed on to work with him
during this administration? So I think it's very important that
even the worst presidents have the best assistance. So I
think lawyers who go to work for this administration. with
the determination to honor their oath, which is to serve
the Constitution and American citizens, not an individual. Take Todd
Blanche as Exhibit A or Pam Bondi as Exhibit A1.
Pam Bondi had a session in the Great Hall of
Justice where she declared the fealty of herself and the
entire department. to one man, to Donald Trump. Not to
the country, not to the Constitution, to one man. And
you've seen Todd Blanch. slush fund, taking the money from
the taxpayers that unjustifiably was given to Trump in a
quote settlement of a dispute that wasn't really even a
legal dispute. We've seen people just do things that are
unconscionable and unprecedented. in American history and at a scale
that the country is now being numb to. No, no,
no. The kicker's coming here. Listen. Now being numb to.
I've seen comparisons of Hunter Biden to the Trump family.
That's like... That's like comparing a Jay Walker to Jeffrey
Dahmer. Oh, there we go. It wasn't worth the effort.
Well, only because you got bored of it. I can't
help it. The guy's long-winded. Do you remember? I have
four clips I want to play before we go out.
This is what I'm seeing the time constraints here. Yeah,
well, it's because we're having a good time. We're having
a great- time. Too bad we can't do anything about
that. We gotta at least mention the heat deaths in
the EU. Yes, hold on a second. And because you're
in the EU and I wanted to make sure we
got to this clip. Yeah, and I will give you
a boots on the ground report after the clip. In
Europe, there's a perfect storm. The oldest population on any
continent that's warming the fastest. France's record heat last week
is linked to roughly 1,000 deaths of mostly elderly. Of
all climate-related impacts and hazards, heat is the biggest killer.
European officials are calling for change, but not the kind
that may seem obvious. Install air conditioning, especially for vulnerable
people, and save lives. Why is that not a solution
in Europe? My honest response is I don't think that
should be the solution anywhere. In the longer term, what
happens is... Installing more air conditioning actually emits more heat.
into our environment so it will actually increase the speed
of warming. It's also more expensive. Energy prices are much
higher in Europe. Governments find other ways to cool historic
and densely populated cities. In Rome, wearable technology is distributed
to monitor the elderly, who are by far in the
most danger. A recent survey in France said one in
six people they surveyed said they'd rather suffer for the
sake of the environment. Does that surprise you? No. We're
not doing this for us. We're doing this for the
future generations. Lee Kenire, CBS News, London. I heard, I
have no evidence, but I read and I heard that
in the UK, they were going around saying, you got
to take that air conditioner out of your window. We're
going to arrest you. I wouldn't be surprised. It kind
of wouldn't surprise me either, but... Supposedly, according to some
reports, they're doing that all over the place. Because she's
trying to kill people. That's what it is. So I
asked Christina before we came over. Then I sent her
a link to one of these stories and I said...
Because she finally, because she's 38 weeks pregnant. It was
100 degrees. They had no air conditioner, flat roof above
the bedroom. So they were sleeping downstairs. And they got
a portable unit. She's like, oh. So nice. And I
sent her this link. I said. I hope the climate
crazies don't do this in Holland, she says. Now, she's
a woman of the people. I think Dutch people would
revolt against that. Everybody's tired of everything and all the
climate bullshit. So maybe, but they still don't have their
bikes back, so I'm not sure that they would really
revolt about it. The bikes. It was a nice 73
degrees and raining when we got here today. Oh, that's
perfect. Yeah, it's very nice. And the rain was only
brief, cooled everything down. Everybody's happy. Everyone's outside on the
terraces having a good time. What's your second clip? Secret
event. Tell me what it is. Secret event. Oh, I
know exactly what this is. This is the... Darren O'Neill
has been invited. to be the emcee of the Taylor
Swift wedding at Madison Square Garden. Did I get it?
The clip. Newark Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch indicating that something
big was about to happen at the world's most famous
arena. In a briefing about major events happening this weekend
in New York City, I would be remiss not to
mention an event that we are tracking at Madison Square
Garden on Friday night. The NYPD will, of course, have
a detail in place, but I am not going to
go into. More specifics on that at this time. Of
course. Do it on the 4th of July weekend with
the biggest celebration for 250. Are they really going to
do it on this weekend? Yeah, it's supposed to be
like tomorrow. Three idiots. Two more clips. Oh, I have
one climate change clip. for Europe, if I can sneak
that one in. Okay. The last 11 years are the
hottest on record. We know the ocean is getting warmer.
This is PBS, of course. The temperature is rising. Europe
is experiencing unprecedented heat right now. What's the impact of
climate change on all of this? You know, climate change
underlies all of this. right all of it air temperatures
are about three degrees fahrenheit warmer than they were just
a little over a hundred years ago so if you
picture it like a building if your foundation of the
building is let's say three feet higher well then your
building's going to be three feet higher so what wait
distance this is distance and this has got something to
do with yeah with the temperature Yes, and apparently it
was 97 degrees in Europe 100 years ago. Sorry, this
is a cycle, man. Here's your go. So if you
picture it like a building, if your foundation of the
building is, let's say, three feet higher, well, then your
building's going to be three feet higher. Wow. What? Climate
change is making all heat domes, every heat wave, more
intense, longer less. Okay. I looked it up. You know
when we started talking about heat domes on this show?
At least 15 years ago. No, not quite. 12 years
ago. And it was just, it was a heat dome.
We weren't too crazy about climate change at the time.
But now all of a sudden, heat domes are because
of climate change. Let's forget El Nino, the super El
Nino. Let's forget the jet streams. Let's forget all about
that. It's climate change. Heat domes. Every heat wave, more
intense, longer lasting. and also larger in scope. And what
we're seeing is unprecedented type heat. In fact, the heat
wave in Europe that played out over the past week
or so, there was a study that was done by
World Weather Attribution. They found that the heat dome was
likely about six degrees Fahrenheit hotter than it otherwise would
have been just 50. years ago and 50 years ago
it would have been virtually impossible without climate change but
i have a study so that's the impact on the
european heat wave there's going to be another one shaping
up as we head into the weekend and next week
for the eastern us again not an unprecedented heat wave
but climate change is certainly making it hotter than it
would have otherwise been due to climate change You know,
that's the one thing. These people should be arrested. That's
the one thing I'm so, I'm happy about our president.
At least he did that for us. He just called
it out and stopped all the funding of it. He
slowed it down. No, I think he changed people's minds.
I think he really did. hope so. Yeah, I think
so. Okay, now here's one more that has to do
with, we've been kind of talking about this on and
off. This is the latest iteration of, uh, let's get
some new gear. This is the drone hitting the airliner.
You heard this one? Yes. Tonight, the FAA is investigating
a potential drone strike over New York. JetBlue Flight 948.
from Las Vegas was on final approach to New York's
JFK Airport early this morning when pilots reported a close
encounter with an apparent drone at 3,000 feet. Did you
collide it? The Airbus A321 landed without incident. JetBlue says
a post-flight inspection found no signs of damage or any
indication of a collision. The FAA is also investigating another
drone incident at nearby Newark Airport Friday. A United Airlines
737 reported it was nearly hit by a drone while
descending with 111 on board. Hi, Sarah Kimme, United... uh
Blow it. 9 to 15, 13, do you get a
look at it? It was... Looked like it was about...
Drones are not supposed to fly near airports or above
400 feet. But the FAA receives more than 100 reports
a month of drones operating around airports. Tony, that's more
than three every day. Yeah. Remember when we had all
those... Drones from an Iranian mothership. In New Jersey? Yeah,
what about that one? It got a lot of play.
That was good. Those were good times. Hey, man, this
is real, man. This is Iran. Wasn't it Aliens? That
was supposed to be aliens involved. Social media has ruined
the world. It has ruined the world. It has ruined
the world. And so has Ozempic. In my last... clip
will be this one there's always something with ozempic yeah
there's a couple of things with ozempic these these days
a crazy shirt i heard today at the wait wait
sorry i was going to ask you if you have
you heard of well actually ozempic vagina Oh no, but
I might want some. The craziest shit I heard. today
at the salon comes from a friend client in the
medical sales community According to plastic surgeons in the South,
the highest growing procedure is to correct ozempic vagina. So
if the symptoms of ozempic weren't bad enough, now there
is enough deterioration of the connective. tissue that it is
causing the vagina parts of the vagina to deteriorate and
fall out of the body. So it's still attached, but
the procedure, as far as we could tell, corrects that
and lifts it back into the body. So if the
other, if hair loss wasn't bad enough, If all the
other side effects weren't bad enough for the 1% of
people who actually need to be on Ozempic, not like
the general public, that's just taking it as a recreational.
option this seems like the one to watch for. Wow.
And it's now on Medicare. 50 bucks a month. You
too can get OVAG. That's right, everybody. OVAG. OVAG. But
it's okay. You won't be able to see it from
your rotting eye disease. So it's all good. It's all
good. And only one man could bring that to you,
that story, ladies and gentlemen. It is the man who
put the sea in chaos, cruelty. and corruption. Say hello
to my
Friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr.
John C. DeMora! *Dramatic music plays* *Dramatic music plays* See.
1292. That's your 4th of July weekend right there. 1292.

alerted when we go live, even when we're transatlantic. And
it's amazing that we're able to do this show this
way. Transatlantic Communications. Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing. Any of
it works, really. I'm on a hotel Wi-Fi. I've got
a pillow against the wall. It's fantastic. So when we
go live, your modern podcast app will alert you and
let you know that it's time to tap that button.
And you'll be listening live. Or if you can't, then

Go to podcastapps.com. A value for value show and we
are so proud to be value for value so we
don't have to deal with I'm telling people to smash
the like button and subscribe and hit the bell and
all of that stuff. You know, Mr. Beast. You know
Mr. Beast, right? Yeah. So Mr. Beast. And they get
like 100 million views of each of their videos. But
while the video is out, they're A, B, and C.
testing different images. They're actually editing on the fly. Hey,
people are dropping off at this moment. Let's re-edit it.
Let's change this. And they've gotten to the point where
all they pretty much do is give away money. So,
you know, you watch this. You can win $250,000, but
he makes, you know, $5 million. What a great business.
I mean, it's content, I guess. It's a great business.
Before you continue, can you do me a favor? Yeah,
sure. Forward the spreadsheet spreadsheet to my gmail account. Okay.
Hold on a second. Oh, this is This is a
tricky operation. Okay. Hold on. I actually killed my email
client. Okay, here we go. I can forward this. Did
you not receive it today? No, I have an IMAP
issue with my email server. An IMAP issue? When I
went to just retrieve it, it just, I can't get
it. An IMAP issue? Well, this is not, oh, your
Gmail, I'm sorry. You just get no spam because you
get no emails. I don't know if I have, is
it just, I don't know if this is your... Don't
say it. I'm sorry. I don't know if this is
it. Let me see if it gets rejected. Let me
see. No, it looks like it went. I could always
do it in a browser, I guess, on my Gmail.
You get it? Come in. Seriously. Is it? I did
get it from Jay. Oh, so you got it. I
think. Let me see if I can download it. Well,
while you look for that. Well, I'm doing all the
work. Oh, yeah. Tons of work there. While you're doing
all that work. Well, I got to click on this.
I got to click on that. I got to. I
want to tell everybody about Value for Value, the new
international lifestyle that we have been living on for almost
19 years. where we don't make you jump through hoops
or pay up front or have to listen to mediocre
content because you pay for the bonus content or the
good stuff. No, we just give it all to you.
Twice a week. All of it right there. All you
have to do is to keep it going. If you
like the show, if you get value out of it,
ooh, there it is. Send us some value back. You
know, how come you never pitch the value for value?
Why is it always me? I want to hear your
value for value pitch. Hey, I'm trying to get this
thing up. That's what she said. Okay, did you get
it up? Is it up? No. Otherwise I'd be pitching
value for value. Mm-hmm. Okay. So, well, I can stop
taping. Oh, there we go. You got it? There we
go. Okay, you got it. All right, good. Good. Okay.
All right, I'm good to go. Right, okay. So tell
us about Value for Value, John. Well, the idea is
simple. We're producing this show, it's three hours, six hours
a week total. And it has information that you can
use for all kinds of purposes. And it also calms
you down. I think it helps people make wise decisions.
It keeps them on the straight and narrow. And we
don't charge anything for them, but we do expect that
maybe if they get some sort of benefit. a benefit,
any sort of benefit. It may be for their health.
It may be for their relationships. It may be some
information that they needed to make a good investment. Who
knows? They could give us some income to support this
effort because we can't get the income any other way.
We can't get the income by going to advertisers. We
could, but then the show would suck and it wouldn't
have any good information. There's things we couldn't say. You
can't make an assertion about one thing or another, like
how we lost the interactive broker's account over there at
DH Unplugged. Is that because you gave bad information? How
did you lose the interactive broker's account? No, no, it's
because somebody on the show made an offhanded comment about
prop bets. Oh, really? And they got mad and then
interactive brokers? Oh, somebody wrote a nasty note and, you
know, you shouldn't have said that. And the next thing
you know, we don't have a sponsor anymore. This is
what would happen to this show. If we didn't get
people to pony up. So just think about the results.
You won't have the show. You'll have a piece of
crap show like every other podcast. Let's look at an
example. So if the big advertiser, the biggest advertiser these
days is Better Health. from the Wellness Company. And we'd
be ragging on all kinds of stuff. Like, we just
did a GLP-1, we'll give you OVAG. Do you think
that the companies that sell that stuff would want to
advertise with us? No. Have you heard a podcast talk
about OVAG anywhere? No. Why not? And you won't hear
it on the mainstream media. Because they've sold out. Yeah.
So that right there is a health tip. of epic
proportion. Well, especially if you're a guy. I mean, yeah,
you know what? If you're a guy, you're really in
trouble. You can support us multiple ways. You can set
up a meetup. We love the boots on the ground.
extremely valuable to the show. We also need money, so
we have time, talent, and treasure. And we have found
that throughout the ages, it's great when we have a
different piece of artwork. And I'm a little surprised that
after this fine piece for episode 1881, we titled that
The Cow Cartel. This was a piece by Jeffrey Rhea.
And it was a no agenda. Mahjong tiles and It
was an interesting piece because, you know, a lot of
these mahjong tiles didn't really have official mahjong tile shapes.
But I still, I've gotten, again, only tons of emails
from people saying, oh yeah, Mahjong tiles, this is great.
people pay hundreds of dollars for mahjong tiles. Why don't
we have no agenda mahjong tiles? Because the people that
play Mahjong are old women who don't listen to the
show. We'll sell no Mahjong tiles. Okay. Well, there's your
meeting. That's literally how we run the company. We appreciate
it. I appreciate you, Jeffrey. This is true. This is
true. And by the way, I'm not the only one
who shouts at the other guy. No. No. When did
I last shout at you? I don't shout at you
ever. We're gonna shout at you. At the beginning of
the show, you said I should be dead. No, but
I did shout at you when you had a bypass.
I'm like, what are you doing? You're ruining the show.
Yes, of course. I should. Yes. So, Marty, our joke
writer. Uh-huh. Your joke writer. Let's get this straight. Your
joke writer. Yes. One of my joke writers. One? Oh,
you have a whole stable of them. I have a
couple. And you have something to say about my robot.
You've got joke writers. Okay. Yeah, but they're humans. I
come with my own material. So Marty went and had
open heart surgery. He just went and had that, like
he had a taco. Well, he gets a lot of
operations, but he had, and I had, he sent a
note in, I should like to read it. Oh yeah,
I'd love to hear that. Is he okay? Let's just...
gets through to it. Yeah, he made it through. It
was last Friday. What did he have? Single, double, triple,
quadruple? No, it wasn't a bypass. It was a valve
replacement or some damn thing. Oh, overhaul. Okay. Valve replacement.
Now he's out of trouble and he's mad because of
the service he gets at the hospital. He didn't get
Good service. Oh, he's alive, isn't he? Is that not
good service? Well, here we go. Let me read this.
Sorry about being switched to the general ward I did
two days ago or a day and a half. ICU
and then sent to the general ward which was a
giant step downward in every way. After two days of
that shit, I said, get me the F out of
here. There's nothing. Oh, no. giggling with friends. There's an
enormous article in this for you, John, especially in Boston,
where that
The idea of flooding low-paid jobs to semi-literate Africans, not
black Americans, not African Americans, Africans, has taken hold. I
give general medicine, especially in hospitals, and no more than
a couple of years before they would become clinics run
by physician's assistants. But that's already happening. Wow. Love to
talk to you by phone. Thank you for both. Now,
I ran into this. There was a number of Africans
that you run into. Now, there was a lot of
Filipino women, especially in the Bay Area, that were doing
most of this work. But there were literally Africans who
could barely speak English, and they didn't seem to be
able to speak English. incompetent at anything and they were
in the hospital you know doing this and that What
is this and that? That's what I'd like to know.
They come in, bumble in, and they do something, they
wouldn't get anything accomplished. Somebody else would replace them and
do what they were supposed to do. There's something... fishy
going on with all these Africans. A lot of, you
know... The Somalis, for example, they're all over the place.
And they're eating the dogs. No, that's the Haitians. Oh,
I'm sorry. I didn't run into any of them. Oh,
wait a minute. The Somalis, they're ripping off Medicare right
there in the hospital. All I know is that his
complaint is legit. I believe it. You don't want to
go to the hospital. No, you don't want to go
to the hospital. It's no fun. So somebody out there
can send a note in. Where do all these Africans
come from? from Africa when there's people in America that
need work. Yeah, well, you know what they'll say. Well,
Americans don't want to work. Maybe. Bullcrap. Yeah, I'm with
you. Okay, well, I'm glad Marty's okay. Has he gotten
funnier since the operation? By the on basis of this
note, no. Let's, as we near the... The 4th of
July, the celebration of our great country. We have been
asking for the $2.50 donation, which I think you can
also do a $25. Do we do a $25 as
well for the $50 or is it only $2.50? I
probably should do one for the next show. Yeah, and
you know, we should read them too. If they want
to, they want us to. They have a note at
year 25. It would be nice. I put a Canada
Day thing in, by the way. No response. Got not
one response. No. From any Canadian who, like years ago,
they'd say, well, thanks for recognizing some things. No, I
put, you know, no, no, one Canadian cares. So let's
look at the artwork. We had Jeffrey Rhea. And we
thank you, Jeffrey. There was. Some odd ones. Of course,
Darren O'Neill with the boobs in a mahjong tile. We
had, uh, we have, uh... *burp* Comicster Blogger did have
an interesting piece that we never used. It was a

know, I see some different models being used. That's interesting.
But no, the most artistic was Jeffrey Rhea. You even

and I think everybody should be able to donate at
least $25 once. in the lifetime of listening to the

or $200. And we like to do something special. A
lot of people save up for it too, $200 or
more. Not only will we guarantee to be reading your

do have one left. You had a buffer. For him.
For him. Where's the guy with the rubbilizer? It's supposed

minute. So he could reserve that in advance? Yeah. Hmm.
Okay. Well, if it doesn't come in, we release three

Yes, you have the note. I can make noise with
it. In the morning, gents, in the picture, John holding
the stuffed heart pillow. Reminds me of my father's cardiac
surgery 25 years ago. He was sitting in the waiting
room while my grandmother was seeing a cardiologist. Bored, he
picked up a brochure about the signs and symptoms. No.
Wow. Nice. Dan Kretschmann. He loves the show, but he
can't figure out how to use the podcast app. Well,
that's we tried to make that pretty easy. Yeah. Yeah.
Have him call me. I'll show. No, not you. Oh,
I'm sorry. I'll do a zoom call. I'll do a
zoom. We should do an instruction. Just show him. Yeah,
help him out, Jason. Adam, I have returned to our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It's been nice hearing you
speak of him. I treasure both of you trying to
make sense of the world and current events. But I'm
now thoroughly convinced only one man knows the Apollo program
broke through the firmament. Who shot JFK and how a
terrorist passport was... found intact in the rubble of 9-11.
So... I think Jesus is the only one who knows
that. Is that what he's saying here? I don't know
what he's saying. I think that's what he's saying. Maybe
he knows. Lastly, thank you to every podcast listener or
No Agenda listener who donates their time, talent, and treasure
to the best podcast universe. You are valued. by this
humble listener. Four more years, can I get massive dumps?
Shut up, it's science and a goat karma jingle. Jason,
uh, Kretschmann of the White, Sir Jason, Sir Kretschmann of
the Whitewater Valley. They did dumps. They call them dumps.
Big ma- of dumps. But anyway, that was just my
little... Oh, wow. Hold on a second. That's not the
right... We haven't done this, Dr. Kiki. And huh. Sorry.
If it's worth it. Why'd it shut up already? It's
science. It's gone? This is lame. Shut up science. Don't
tell me this is gone. Ah! Where's Dr. Kiki? What
has science done for you lately? What is worth it?
And I clicked this one and it's the wrong one.
But anyway, that was... I say that's the wrong one.
This is a problem. What is this one? Probably under
shut up. No. No, I know it has Dr. Kiki
in the title. Very just kiki. Yeah, that's what I'm
doing. I have Kiki. All right, shut up science. Let's
see. Shut up science. No. Well, you're going to have
to bump it. I'm very upset by this. Yeah, you
should be. Generally, yeah.
Organized. This is what makes me nuts. Because I have
this one. What has science done for you lately? Right.
And then I have, this is Dr. Kiki's science. But
anyway, that was just my little setup. Okay, there you
go. I only have a piece of it. Something's very
wrong here. I'm gonna have to look into that. Here's
your goat karma, though. I know where to find that
every single time. You've got... Karma. Sorry about that. Gotta

going to have to stop sending them this because it
is ridiculous. Well, we have to send it one more

quit on us. *laughs* Do they do prop bets? Is
that what's going on? Does Interactive Broker do prop bets?
Yeah, they got some prop bets. Something similar. Similar enough.
And somebody on the show. Not quite as bad as
what is the worst one. Can't remember their name. Kelshi?
No, there's one. I can't remember. People know what it

Bulldog Karma, please. you thought. And there's Richard Adams from
Orem, Utah with a freedom donation, America 250. donation plus
fees $257.94. He says a 250th anniversary only comes along

he sent me a link and he said, hey, I'm
going to send a donation because you listen to the
music. And I did. And I'm conflicted about it. Is
he no good? It's good. Well, first of all, the
song he sent me a link to is a song
about Romans 1, 2, and 3. So it's like a
gospel. Biblical. Yeah, it's a gospel worship music, but it's
almost metal. It's very heavy, which I kind of like
that. But, you know, I'm just like. Like all music,
if you're really, if you're going to be serious about
music, it's just like, ah, is it, is it really
music? Yeah. Cause he clearly. Yeah. You think this is
all showness? It's AI. Well, no, it's AI because he
does a lot of our end-of-show mixes. So he's an
AI guy. It's Sir Johnny B and the Robot. And
so, you know, anyway, he's going to try and do
value for value for it. So I promote that. Go
listen to it. Let me know what you think. It's
good, but I'm just like, is it human? Is it
robot? Is it? I don't know how to feel about
it. I'll send you a link. I'd like to know
what you think about it. There you go. R. Davis,

Viscountess Dame Knight in Edmonds, Washington, 100. And coming in,
boy, he sent in a longer note, but... He deserves
it because he is not only Kevin McLaughlin, he is
the Archduke of Luna, lover of America and boobs. He
lives in Concord, North Carolina. And he says the following.
In Congress, July 4th, 1776, the unanimous declaration of the
13 United States of America, when in the course of
human events, it becomes necessary for one... people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected them with another, and
to assume among the powers of the earth the separate
and equal station to which the laws of nature and
of nature's God entitle them. A decent respect to the
opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths
to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. Thank you very much, Kevin, and we appreciate your
unending support of our work here. Luke Cumberland? From Oxford,

We'll be praying for your daughter that things go smoothly.

I'm about 400 feet at least that high. And, uh...
It's annoying. Well, this is riveting boots on the ground.

anyone has started listening to the show because of... If
you're here because John posted at Presidents... saying, listen to
the No Agenda show, please let me know. If I
had known that No Agenda was this good, I would
have given them Secret Service protection. Not bad. It's a
little long, but it's not bad. Okay. It was a
little, yeah. And then we got Obama. As far as
I'm concerned, the No Agenda podcast. is the best in
the universe. I think Trump is better than the Obama
one. Let me hear it again. Let me check this.
If I had known that no agenda was this good,
I would have given them Secret Service protection. It's long,

of the Day. Advice for you and me, just the
tip with J.C.D. Sometimes, Adam. drone's gone. Okay, we got
an interesting tip. This kind of reflects some elements of
the show. And it's something I, it's not a bad
idea. This is the Mag Griffin, M-A-G-R-I-F-F-I-N. Which is the
Amazon choice, by the way. RFID blocking card. Okay. Now,
this card, you get three of them for $15, so
you can use them here and there. And it's a
credit card-sized card that's a super- super thin. It has
RFID circuitry in it that will blow out anybody that
tries to... steal your, you know, tries to capture your
RFID information. And then use it. Do we know if
anyone has really successfully done this with RFID? I think
there's evidence that people have successfully done this. But it's
nice to have it anyway. And it also will block.
It will block for four inches. either way from where
the card is so it'll block an entire wallet. and
it will also block a passport. Oh. To the same
RFID frequency the passport uses. - Ah, it's interesting. So
you put it in your wallet or your purse. Now,
do you put it on the bottom or the top
or does it not matter? Well, if it's in a
wall, it should be in the middle somewhere so it
blocks everything. And the people who sell these things, and
there's about... 20 companies that sell them, and they range,
they can be as expensive as $35. Oh, that seems
too much. But they say that... wallets that have the
protective shields inside fail. They don't work all the time.
You can check them out. This card supposedly is the
way to go because it's got electronics in it. Wasn't
Sir Gene selling something like this at some point? He
was selling an EMP-proof thing or something. Well, yeah, that
was a Faraday cage. You can buy little sheaths. to
stick cards in and that works. - How about cash?
- But this is different. - How about just using
cash? They can't lift your cash. Just use cash. Cash
is the way to go. I'm not going to argue
with that, but people do have credit cards. There it
