He's full of shit. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill. It's Thursday,
August 6th, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination,
episode 1892. This is no agenda. Yeah, we're broadcasting live
from just outside of Chirac, right here in FEMA Region
number 5. In the morning, everybody. I am Darren O'Neill.
And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydener
keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming scimitar
of truth. It's Darren and Larry in the morning. At
least you've never seen Bernie Sanders outside your door or
anything, right? Well, not yet, but anything can happen. You
know that. Exactly. That's why you have to be prepared.
There's a lot of honk if you love Bernie bumper
stickers or crap like that around here. Really? That's a
thing? It's kind of, you know, he still sustains, doesn't
he? You know, the guy's 2,000 years old and, you
know, he's still spreading his commie lies. Do you remember
the good old days when it was, oh, he's just
that crazy Bernie. He's never, Commie, it's never going to
do anything. Socialism will never take foot. He's just, he's
just that one crazy guy that gets elected. Oh, yeah.
There's been a succession of crazy guys, you know, for
a century. Gus Hall, he was the, every election he
ran as the Commie candidate. I think he ran like
nine elections or something. There was someone before him. It's
not new. to say Bernie. Nothing new under the sun
except they are multiplying. Oh, they certainly are. Oh my
God, are they? It's very scary. And we have a
very exciting show today. The Podfather will be joining us.
That is cool. That is a rock and groove, baby.
He's going to finally pull our plug. No doubt about
it. Hey, it's his show, man. I get it. We
know, we know we're not Adam, we're not John, but
boost and donate. And if you want media, construction we
are doing. the best we can and having fun with
it. I know you. - We sure are. - You
personally, you like to look for the negative comments and
I mean that makes it even more fun. And there's
always some to reward me. This is true. They've probably
got a lot of negative comments going in their timeline
as a poor Anthony Fauci, you know. Oh, man. He's
had an avalanche of negative comments. Absolutely. Yeah. I saw
one video where I think it was a dude from
TMZ, which would make sense because you don't expect anybody
in the normal mainstream media to dare be out in
front of Anthony Fauci's house and be like, hey, so
what about that? fifth 111 times. Mm-hmm. But of course,
Fauci didn't answer that guy either. But Harvey Levin gave
a glowing endorsement on his show, like the day of
or the day after, just him, not even with his
sidekick, telling what a great guy he is and how
wrong everyone is and we should revere him and so
on and so forth. And he even went back to
the first time Fauci's head popped up like a whack-a-mole
during the AIDS crisis. And I mean, there were guys
that really were calling for his beheading back then. or
vocal of them, was a guy named Larry Kramer. He
was a very, very outspoken gay activist. And, man, he
just went for Fauci's lungs. So I don't know what
Harvey's thinking, but it's his show and his right to
speak. You must protect Dr. Fauci at all costs. At
all costs. Unless, of course, you are Aaron Rodgers. Now
I'm gonna plead the fifth. Okay. Okay. Gotta love that.
Like that absolute coward Tony Fletcher. Absolute coward. Are you
kidding me? Yeah, 111 times. You got a pardon and
you pleaded over 100 times at the White House? What
are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the
science. Yeah, yeah. I thought you were, I am science.
And you get up there and you can't answer a
question? Yeah. What are we doing? And how much time
did the network spend on that? How much time did
they spend on my responses every week, on my vaccination
status, on Taylor and Travis's wedding? Does that bother you?
No, it's all important, very important news for the M5M.
And he's got a point. I mean, when it was
all going on, like, oh, can all of these sports,
I mean, I think the NASCAR guys had to, you
know, they're in a car by themselves with a helmet
on. I mean, I don't know. Oh, yeah. And what
Aaron did is that takes media construction to another level,
which is as it happens. I mean, the guy with
the worst job in the world at that moment was
Pat McAfee. What must he have been thinking? I mean,
the fact is, this is... the fallout because of Anthony
Fauci being not very smart. In writing all of these
things onto a government servant, I heard from a Rob
the Constitutional lawyer, he's like, the guy has to be
an idiot because everybody knows. Of course. It's government property.
Right. All that can be FOIA'd. Even, you know, my
wife works for the, you know, little village, and it's
like, anything we do internally, we all know if there's
a FOIA, this is all going out, so you have
to be careful about what you say, Anthony. I read
something today that they're looking for his texts. That might
be his other chapter. Yeah, well, I heard they got
his cell phone, so that would, although I don't think
you need the cell phone to get the texts, although
I guess. It might speed that up. And that's always
a question when it comes to... how these politicians communicate
because if it's anything official It's supposed to be in
a way that will be. Down in the annals of
history where people, you're not supposed to use, like Hillary,
you know, your own email server. Sure. run things that
way. So it's interesting to see, you know, who's smart
enough or who's not. I think a good financial play
would be to invest in a flock of carrier pigeons
at this point because you might have some privacy. And
I guess they work pretty good in their day. They
got back and forth somehow. Yes. Greg Jarrett, of course,
on Fox is talking about the diary here. See if
charges can be brought. But look, Senator Paul has long
argued Fauci lied and covered up COVID's origins. And his
diary is self-incriminating. Publicly, Fauci insisted COVID came from a
natural source. But you read his diary and privately he
is conceding it likely came from the very lab that
he had funded. the thing it's he lied it's not
that he was an idiot it's not that he made
mistakes oh no no It's because of the lies and
that's exactly what... We have Rand Paul here. Rand Paul
calling for a vote tomorrow on whether to... And really,
I love the music underneath all this stuff. It's so
great. You gotta keep... Because otherwise, Larry, the kids aren't
gonna listen to a whole 38 seconds of news. Yeah,
if it doesn't have a techno beat behind it. To
hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after Fauci
pleaded the fifth 111 times during his testimony about the
COVID-19 pandemic last week. Can you explain to the committee
why you chose to fund this dangerous research in China?
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer
based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the
Constitution. What day of the week is it today? I
respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the
Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. on the DOJ to pursue
criminal charges against Fauci. question whether they will have any
charges. It's going to be tough. You know, a thought
flashed through my mind a couple of nights ago for
some unknown reason. I was looking at that movie The
Irishman. And there's a scene in there where... Some mobster
sitting on a witness stand. And that movie was made
in 2018. And the attorney holds up his pen and
says, what color is my pen? The guy says, I
respectfully decline. So I kind of wonder if Josh Hawley
viewed that movie recently as well. Probably life imitating art
aren't imitating life. That whole. round and round and it's
interesting to see Who is jumping in on this? Who
is avoiding it? Like you said, most of the mainstream
media. A lot of liberal talking heads are, oh, we
got to back Dr. Fauci. He was doing what he
thought was right. Of course they do. Of course. Even
though the admission. in his diary would tell you otherwise.
Yes. But even Joe Rogan taking a victory lap on
Fauci. Do you hear this one? Not really. We are
right now in the middle of the Fauci hearings. Yes,
we are. He is now testifying in front of Congress
and pleading the fifth about everything, including the color of
his tie. It's very weird to watch. In one way,
it's like I told you to a lot of my
liberal friends that wanted to pretend that he was a
great guy and that he wasn't doing anything wrong. shows
that he knew that the fatality rate was much lower
than they were saying. He knew that it wasn't dangerous
for children, that they didn't need vaccines. He knew that
the social distancing thing was all nonsense. And he's got
a blanket pardon for 10 years. And the thing is,
it's like, These people get money for research, and that's
what they do. They do research. So if you get
money and you get grants for research, well, you're going
to go do research. And if your research is gain-of-function
research that makes viruses more infectious to human beings, and,
you know, you have to do it because that's your
job. That's what you do. That's what you studied. That's
what you went to school for. What a crazy fucking
thing we're doing. Yeah. I don't know that anywhere on
Fauci's job description it stated do gain-of-function. research. Somehow I
think that was determined by a cabal of similar creeps
to himself. Just a guess. Well, because it's very hard.
to imagine a world where that is used for a
nefarious reason because you could sell it to the average
citizen you can sell this as Well, we're trying to
do this so we can then be ahead of something
like this that would happen so we would know how
to counteract it, but... But that's patent bullcrap. It's clearly
that that phrase is just camouflage for a bioweapon. Yes.
You know, please. But this is how it's being sold,
which is why people need to understand what words mean,
why people are telling you certain things. Yes. And as
I always say, not some people are stupid. Most are
stupid. Because they've checked out. They don't pay attention. The
news, I mean, it was bad enough when they were
going to Jon Stewart for their news. Now people are
going to TikTok. impossible to believe. I put TikTok on
the same plane as Stuart. Well, they're kind of equaling
out. Yeah. Because Stuart, I saw, and I think we
might even have the clip. It probably won't. We got
lots of clips. Thanks to everybody for bringing those into
us, like Steve Jones, the clip collector. It is kind
of interesting when you see like Jon Stewart going up
against Fetterman and just being, it's all. just politics. It
has nothing to do with being human. It has nothing
to do with logic and understanding. And it's getting... kind
of said. What's with the human? We know they're reptiles.
Alex Jones told them. I mean, David Icke told us.
Come on. They're probably correct. One more big reaction to
the Fauci thing. This one from a guy that you
and I have played a bunch over on Planet Rage.
You didn't hear as much around Noah Jenda yet, but
Stephen A. Smith, who has been mentioned, is a possible
Democrat presidential candidate. Not that I believe. He has any
chance in hell, but... I think he would do better
than a lot of them. I mean, I would take
him personally before. or your California Governor Newsom or Kamala,
any of those. And this was his take on the
Fauci thing. Do I think that he should be embarrassed
for the self-adulation that he engaged in? You're damn right
I do. some of the things that he was telling
us to do was inconsistent with science, but he was
telling us it was science that led to him making
the decisions that he made. 6 feet distancing. The closing
of businesses. Businesses. push those mandates upon people like me
and others. vaccine And I took a booster. I wore
a mask. You ain't gonna get COVID if you do
that, and I got COVID. Pandemic had almost killed me.
I'm in the hospital 90 minutes before the ball is
about to drop and the doctor says We've been at
this for three plus weeks. I doubled them on you.
You look really bad. This antibiotic. And it's steroid. Does
not work. Smith, I'm sorry, we're going to have to
call your family. Looks that bad. But we should know
in three hours. And through the grace of God, three
hours later, I felt better after they gave me. That's
steroid. and that antibiotic. Those were the longest three hours
of my life because I thought it was over. And
I remember I had done exactly what Dr. Anthony Fauci
was imploring us all to do. We'll say Stephen A.
Smith is right up there with Glenn Beck using silence.
You know, I like what he says.
His style always grates on me. And it's as simple,
it could be summarized with this. I'm going to scream.
I'm going to whisper. I'm going to scream. I'm going
to whisper. Come on, man. You're not running a revival
meeting. There's a goddamn microphone at your lips. Okay? And
I think it functions. You don't have to scream, Stevie.
Thank you. But it's the same reason people put music
behind the clips. It's an engagement tactic. And I think
it works for them. Not to me. Not to me.
I hear music behind the tracks. at ball four man
but the message he was bringing there is why this
should not be a political topic this should be people
on both sides being very upset that the guy one
resource to go to. who had degrees who were studying
this were like, And then we're shut down because Dr.
Fauci disagreed while... So making money. according to the news
reports having Like, hey, shouldn't you give this award? He
needs the money. Fauci, he deserves all the And more.
And now I understand there's three steps. about to level
a chart. which may not... conflict. Joey provides. forget who
And there were, there were. being cooked. Why aren't there?
It's a good question. I mean, because most of it
is politics. Most of it is they don't want to
go after their own. I mean, this is fair. You
know, it's kind of understandable being that we before the
Donald Trump thing, we had never. for and in the
federal government. But I think the true answer to this
is simply the unbreakable alliance between the billions, trillions of
big pharma and the deep state. They function as one.
They're buddies. So that's what the power structure is, really.
Look at what was Bobby the K saying for months
before he took office. I'm going to stop television advertising
for pharmaceuticals. What happened to that? He doesn't even mention
that. anymore you know no and they're still running them
non-stop yes of course drugs drugs drugs ask your doctor
not well your doctor knows best he'll know what drug
to put you know which when we were growing up
i know we're not you know 150 years old or
anything but when we were growing up there were no
massive amounts of drug ads on television there were no
no no not massive the only there were no prescription
drugs period the only thing you could see was was
excedrin and and maybe a cough medicine. Get that Robitussin.
That was it. The prescription, I think it was banned
until sometime in the 1980s. And the only other place
where they do this crap is in New Zealand. The
rest of the entire globe bans pharmaceutical ads on television.
Well, yeah, because it elevates the drug companies above the
medical professionals. Of course. Well, the doctors have become errand
boys. They're not doctors anymore. I told you the last
time I went to the cardiologist, you're a provider. medical
provider will be with you. Like, no, that's not the
way it works. It is, it is, it's unbelievable when
the drugs, and then you've got like usually 60 to
90 seconds of this is the side effects that might
happen, including death on most of them. Oh yeah. Love
those side effects, man. Exploding kidneys, loss of sight. It's
like, wow. But people still, yeah, give me that stuff.
I'll take that. Ask your doctor about, I mean, no,
tell your, let your doctor. figure out what you have
and then figure out the best treatment you should never
be walking into a doctor's office saying hey i heard
about this drug can i go but they do of
course they're doing that yeah especially those uh those ozempic
stuff whoa now you've got another fauci clip here as
well the uh yes i have i have one more
and uh you know as as we know there are
allegedly four million podcasts out there in the world well
it looks like there's gonna be four million and one.
and Cadillac government pensions. And besides the money, millions of
people still love me. People who know that I still
am the science. I get respect from big people who
really matter like Julia Roberts. And Barbara Streisand, they all
love me, especially Barbara, who I taught how to speak
with Alexa as I was diagnosing the carbuncle on her
buttocks. Yeah, I'm a multitasker. And why do I refer
to a lot of people as big people? Because I'm
only 5'2". I'll tell you, I'm hung like a palomino,
and women can sense that. Even if they're ancient and
their sinuses are calcified with Botox, somehow they're sniff out
my machismo. Now besides my medical tip, I'm gonna guide
you on a journey into new worlds of other science
like numerology. Asians think 8 is a lucky number. Americans
think it's 7. They don't know squat. The true lucky
number is 5. Five fingers, right? Try swinging your pick-a-ball
paddle with 3. It takes 5 cards to make a
royal flush. And constitutional amendment number 5. That's a mountain
of luck in one little sentence. So get on over
to ttass.com Fridays at 5 Eastern. I tip you, you
tip me. I take Zelle Venmo, Cash App, and Visa.
No Amex, sorry. See ya. Wow. It had to happen,
didn't it? No, no. It's a producer mode that should
have been quicker. That should have been in and out
in like 40... but I know people like the Dr.
Fauci voice. And I mean, it's one of those things
that could... Who knows? It had to be said, though.
Well, he might need a podcast if he has to
have more bills for all of his lawyers. Yeah, it's
going to add up for him. I mean, he's not
Musk. He can't hang forever. And if these three states
start to bedevil him, you're going to see some GoFundMes.
Who's paying for his lawyers now? He had like a
whole team of them. Six of them. Six of them.
And one got bounced. That was a very funny scene.
Because you can't take the fifth and then have somebody
else. to trying to back you up. But, you know,
this whole thing comes down again. We were all here
for the vaccine and we had the audio on no
agenda of all the people. I'm not going to take
a Donald Trump vaccine. But that changed magically then. Yeah.
Once it became the Biden administration and you brought on
the last show a clip from this RFK with Dana
Bash. And this went on much longer. We have an
extended clip of things that we didn't even hear, which
I thought was. was quite interesting. But you were saying...
You were part of the problem. No, I wasn't. It
was a- practice. You weren't allowing your job. Mr. Secretary,
your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority. And you
weren't doing that. My job is also... No, okay, are
you going to... You want to sit here and attack
me? I like that we have a CNN anchor speaking
to somebody like this like they're in kindergarten. It's just
beyond the pale, really. You know, it's like, I'm not
going to sit here. It's very strange. Yeah. Journalists, uh,
I don't know if they have journal- classes anymore. Not
in too many places. A lot of colleges have cancelled
it because they know it's a dying art. It is.
I guess you can't make much money because now AI
is just You're going to take a few little blurbs
from your favorite social media and then create a story
that does that. real proof behind it. But I remember
taking a simple journalism class back in the day and
it was who what, where, and how. Those were the
five things that had to be in every story. And
I guess if you go and try to break down
the stories you're seeing today, whether you're listening or not,
or reading them, I bet you most are missing multiple
parts of that equation. I'm not attacking you. I'm asking
questions about how to prevent the next. I'm not attacking
you. I'm just asking questions. I'm just asking questions, Larry.
But I mean, they're very pointed and rude questions. I'm
just asking questions. Like, why are you a crook? You
know, I'm just asking. Why are you being dishonest? I'm
just asking questions! what I'm trying to do but I
also don't want to use this interview to allow you
to say things that aren't entirely true. Talking about therapeutics,
fine. factually true that the COVID vaccine worked. Factually true.
Whoa! Let's back up. second. Worked for whom? Wow. Wow.
She should talk to Stephen A. Smith. He got vaxxed.
He got boosted. He almost croaked. Yeah. Worked great. Worked
perfect. Didn't hurt anybody either. There were no side effects
at all. There's only two answers to this question, Darren.
She's either a complete imbecile or she's getting some piles
of Skrilla from the pharmaceutical people to say that. I'm
guessing the pharmaceutical people do put some money towards advertising
on CNN. They certainly do. We know that CNN... To
make that kind of statement in these times after all
mind-blowing. It really is. Yes, there was another story that
was breaking, breaking this week that there were no good
clips on. But there was an initiative called the Tarbell
Fellowship. Tarbell Fellowship. has nothing to do with the Fauci
or the vaccine, but it is about AI and paying
people to cover stories. So as we move on over
the next week or two, this may more and more
come out. But it seems that there is a third
party paying the people to write about AI. is then
being published in places like, well, you know, the New
York Times or CNN or all of these outlets. So,
you know, you can trust the reporting. Trust the science.
When the money is coming. You know, a third party
that maybe... maybe wants to push you in one direction
or not. But RFK, he and Dana Bash continue to
argue, which is, and rightfully so, once she just dropped
that bombshell. I think that what I have talked to...
Can you show me one study? Yes, I can. It
shows that children were protected by the COVID vaccine. I
can tell you that there are... harm to children. Can
you show me one study that shows that? I can
tell you that when it comes to the vaccine, there
have been studies... that because of vaccine disinformation, disinformation, there
could have been... thousand lives in the U.S. saved because
people didn't get the vaccine. I'm not saying that it
entirely... You are saying nonsense. You are saying something that
you can... I am not saying nonsense. You are talking
like... There's an ISO. I am not saying nonsense. Well,
he asked very specifically if she could name a study
that showed that the COVID vaccine did not do... than
good to children. I'll bet you she could show such
a study and it would be totally bogus and Bobby
could shoot out the guts of it in two seconds.
Well, yeah, but she didn't. I mean, that's the beauty.
She's like, yes, I can. There's probably something. I mean,
there was when it was in progress. There was all
kinds of bogus information. They were floating in front of
people's faces and it was lies. But she said she
could do it right there and then didn't when he's
like, okay, what? She's a bigger coward than Fauci. Oh,
yeah. Okay. I am not saying nonsense. You are talking
like somebody told you. Stop. That's the way to put
that. Excuse me! Yes. Again, this is somebody that's supposed
to be covering the news in a serious manner. No.
not saying nonsense. You are talking what somebody told you.
Excuse me. What?
What study? No, what studies are you talking about? You're
talking about studies that actually don't exist. I want to
talk about... Cite me the study that you're talking about.
I am not here to defend... You say you're seeing
studies. Cite me the study. This is not productive. I
am not here to defend all of the... You're talking
nonsense. You're making assertions. You can't support it. Yeah, I'm
not here to support what I'm saying. It's like, but
you're the one saying it, madam. She's the one that
brought it up. Yeah. He's the guest on her show.
She's being argumentative and he's asking her for proof and
she says, I can give you proof. And you're like,
okay. And then it's like, well, I mean, we're not
right now. I can't give you any proof. But like
so many of these people, it comes from their incredible
ego. that they have. Let's look at who the participants
are here. Dana Bash is a professional teleprompter reader. That's
what she does. Bobby the K is a very, very
top-flight successful litigator. You really don't want to get in
an argument with that guy unless your guns are properly
loaded, and hers were not. And she should have known
that going into that interview. You're not going to win
with him unless you're really, really set to go and
you're good with your verbiage. So she got her ass
kicked. Sorry. It is a completely different skill set being
able to... And there's a lot of really smart people
who, given the time, could maybe come up with a
coherent argument, but... There are other ones, like Marco Rubio
seems to be, and J.D. Vance, to a little lesser
degree, very quick with the answers and able to back
it up, which is why those interviews are always fun
to watch as well. Have you noticed one guy that
hasn't appeared anywhere at all? recently. Why would that be?
You never know. Whatever happened to Vivek? Oh, right, he's
in Ohio, right? He's in Ohio. That's a forbidden zone.
And this is the ending of that little three-part here.
Let me just say, for the record, that I am
not saying that the entire way that the COVID reaction
was accurate. It was a scary time, and people made
mistakes. Absolutely. You were scaring people. Why are you saying
that? Because that was the job of CNN. Okay. Okay,
stop. Was to put the chyron's up about how many
people are dying. We were trying to be. Yeah, he's
not wrong. Telling the truth. To be fair, it wasn't
just CNN. It was Fox and ABC. I don't think
there was one. news organization on television no that wasn't
playing the johns hopkins numbers and reporting on them like
every five minutes oh more people are dying Yeah. So
it wasn't just CNN. The funny thing is, those John
Hopkins numbers. the end of the movie, reveal the truth.
Because America, with a mere 360 million people, had more
than twice the number of deaths of any other nation
on earth, including India, China, you know. So, hey, what
went wrong in America? Hmm, something did. At that point,
they stopped talking about Johns Hopkins. It was mishandled a
little bit, you think? Yeah. Well, it's also what happens
when... You take the medical... care of your citizens. politicize
it. Politicizing that kind of thing is not going to
help. It just simply isn't. I mean, being honest and
transparent would be what would help. But when, and it
started with Donald Trump, people like, oh, these guys never
say anything bad about the Republicans. Well. Donald Trump really,
really, really wanted the win of. having the vaccine. And
he made it happen. But the vaccine was not perfect.
But it's hilarious that the one thing they could have
maybe got Trump on, like, oh, no, I'm really surprised
the Democrats didn't go with vaccine was dangerous. See, Donald
Trump did it because they tried to take credit for
it first. Yeah, but then they'd all be wrong. So
they can't do that because they were behind the vaccines
and the masking and the closures of the world, you
know, the shutdowns. It's the power of its politicization, but
it's also the power of those pharmaceutical companies. Because remember,
Trump came up with his Operation Warp Speed, right? And
then all reports claim that Bourla and his buddy over
at Moderna, they intentionally withheld releasing the vaccine until Joey
was elected president. And that very likely was a major
contributor to Trump's loss. those guys wield that even i
think that in some way transcended politics politics because it
was all sub rosa you know nobody ever said that
at the time it just kind of happened very scary
Donald Trump got him a bunch of money, and then
they're like, well, we still want the other guy. We
want the other guy, so we're going to hold his
back. And knowing what they know, that it would cure
nothing and protect no one, it's not like they killed
any more people. Really. It's going to be a long
time before, if anybody ever does get to the... accurate
data on what is and what is not the fault
of the vaccine and it's hard because including people like
Dr. Fauci with his uh problems that he had we
covered that on the last show as well didn't report
it to VAERS And here's actually, we have a Glenn
Beck clip on that. You can never prove causation, but
the whole purpose is, the whole system is based upon
people being honest. about reporting all of the injuries that
happened after vaccine. after that vaccine and then you do
a post-train analysis and you say, hey, we're seeing elevated
levels of this, that and the other, if you don't
report it. Nobody can make those kind of analysis and
he did not report his. He didn't report it to
the VAERS system. He didn't tell the public. And, you
know, if so, anyway, that was that. He's not. He's
a guy who claims to be science itself, but is
rejecting the scientific method on being able to find out
if something is safe or not. Right. Because the VAERS
database was about not proving anything, but tracking is. much
evidence as possible. So if he believed in that... Dr.
Fauci, and he ended up getting a pulmonary infarction himself,
but not... Reporting that the question then has to be
again, why do you not believe that the system works
or is this all just a scam? Well, it is
all a scam. And if you think about it overwhelmingly.
The ardent support for all of that crap, for the
vaccines and the masking and the mandates and the shutdowns,
everything, was very much from the left, Joey and company,
right? They were the ones. And let's look, what's the
first thing the left always does? They screw around with
the vocabulary. The CDC actually went in there and revised
the definition of the word vaccine so it would conform
to the garbage that they were injecting into people. And
it's not a vaccine at all. If you think about
it, I mean, it should have been called what it
was, experimental gene therapy, but that never got any traction.
But things like polio, tetanus, smallpox, yeah, those were vaccines.
Get those illnesses. This was complete crap, but they still
called it. And they still do. And what's really sad
is guys like Bobby the K and other right-wingers still
refer to it as vaccine. You know what it's exactly
like? They're not illegal aliens. They're migrants. Right. It's really
kind of an immunotherapy more than a, you know, maybe
it's like taking zinc, you know, before you hop on
an airplane in the hopes that'll help you catch a
cold. Nobody ever got a turbo cancer from zinc. Not
that we know of. I wouldn't put it in a
class with zinc. I thought this was interesting as well
because people in the media mainly want to make RFK
Jr. out to be. a complete vaccine skeptic, a complete
anti-vaccine guy. But here he is talking about the measles
vaccine, one that, you know, a vaccine that is actually
a vaccine. R.K. Jr. is now urging parents to get
their children vaccinated against measles. He made that statement in
an interview on CNN's State of the Union with Dana
Bash. The comments come after criticism over his response to
recent outbreaks, including a Texas outbreak that grew to nearly
800 cases and killed two children. Pennsylvania has reported more
than 167 confirmed measles cases as the U.S. faces its
highest number of measles infection in 35 years. vaccine is
effective. It stops measles in about 97% of the cases.
People should get vaccinated. Officials say the most infections involve
people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown.
Experts warn outbreaks can continue in areas where vaccination rates
fall below 95%. It's interesting that they're like, oh, or
ones that vaccination rates are unknown. Well, they could be
vaccinated. So, I mean, you don't, you can't really put
data on somebody if it's. An unknown. You can't use
that as proof. If it's unknown. I want to hear
that again. Yeah, officials say the most infections involve people
who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown. Oh!
And B. thing doesn't add to anything. But that's okay.
You don't really expect the, uh... the news media to
actually know. But that is a true vaccine, 97 or
so percent effective. preventing something which Everybody around remembers that
that's the bill of goods we were sold on the
COVID vaccine. It was 100% safe and effective. Oh, you
weren't going to get it. You weren't even going to
be able to transmit it if you had the vaccine.
Yeah, but remember how they started to dial it back?
It was like, it's 95. Burl, I remember, 95% effective.
98, 93, 85, 73. And then when they got down
around in the mid-60s, they just dropped it. Now we
sound stupid, so forget that. They went away with the
percentages. It was really funny to listen to and watch.
Well, it's funny. going back and i think the clip
was on no agenda ever never miss an episode of
howie mandel arguing that they they never said it was
a hundred percent and never that it was gonna it's
like yeah they did But people remember different things and
people are confused because they don't know. exactly where to
get their information i thought this was an interesting clip
from uh Big Bill O'Reilly, I mean, he's been like
50 years in journalism. And I thought this made a
really interesting point on the state of where news is
today. And I see a very big sampling from around
the world of what people are interested in. And one
thing that has risen dramatically this year. is confusion. So
many human beings, Americans and everybody else, they don't know
or understand what is happening. And therefore, they are susceptible
to crazy stuff. All right, because they don't really know
the basis. of how President Trump, for example, makes a
decision. or why trends are happening in our society. or
AI. or social media, what are the implications? They're confused.
And I'm not saying this to be super silliest word
of the day. I'm saying it because it's true. And
it's my job here at the No Spin News to
clarify. This is what our job is, to clarify, not
to root. Not to push an ideology. We don't do
that. And some people get mad. Some people don't even
watch. They want to hear Republicans are good or Democrats
are good. That's what they want to hear. Okay, I
got it. Not what we do here. Clarity is what
we shoot for. Is he right 100% of the time
or does he always keep his bias out? No, but
this is what... No, but he bloviates 100% of the
time. Yes. That he does. Dude, he's Irish like you
and me. This is why. No, but I'm not a
bloviator. I mean, he's a pain in the ass, really.
That guy's like... Oh, come on. You've been known to
bloviate a time or two. I never bloviate. I never
bloviate. Worcester? I'm accused of many, many, many things, many
crimes. Guilty of most. Bloviation, not one of them. But
it's true that people are completely unaware of the world
around them. get valid information which is why you know
we highly recommend the no agenda show yes because that
is part of the goal which is to go hey
here's what the news media is doing And try to
put this in a way that people can understand and
tell them, well, this is why maybe. This source is
being a little less than honest. And a lot of
what you're seeing now in the news is... commie related
and I think it's funny a lot of people are
like ah they kept making fun of Bernie Sanders it's
like well There's a good reason, and even Bill O'Reilly
got in on it. As long as we have that
bill, it's double up. It's not about chocolate cake. I
know, you like it. I'm going to get you nice
and in the right mood. I'm going to go make
a sandwich. Okay? That's what Sanders wants. All right? It's
about the government telling the children what to think. how
to behave, circumventing the traditional parenting because the communists know
that out in the heartland those people are never going
to buy into the communist movement, ever. Get the kids.
And it's happened.
in colleges, American colleges, very fine institutions, have collapsed under
the weight of progressive politics. So don't say it's not
possible. Bernie Sanders has got to be the happiest guy
in the country. The discussion was that Sanders and Mandami
in New York are demanding universal child care. But it's
not really child care. Not. And it would be 10%
of the New York City budget. They could never pay
for it. It's getting control of the children in a
setting where they can be indoctrinated. And that happens. Get
the And that's what Bernie Sanders and Mandani in New
York City. trying to do. You know that? Media will
never realize that. That's exactly what has happened. Can you
disagree with that? Well, I can say that's a blind...
been going on for about 70 years. before Mamdani, really?
What is this boomer? plan. What are you doing? What
is this? What's going on here? O'Reilly, does anyone... Exactly.
anymore? Please? being pumped Bloviating boob. I mean... so much
for jumping in man this has been so good for
me and uh of course i've listened to you mimi
has not listened at all um she's just been cleaning
up cleaning up the house she's told me stories man
she's told me stories just driving the bus. I'm so
appreciative of that. This is really... And by the way,
hello, trolls! Stupid trolls. Good to see y'all. I only
have one comment on everything you've been doing. Only one.
And it's Darren, it's you. Uh-oh, I should run. When
you knight somebody, you have to hit them with the
sword. You know, you have to hit them. You gotta
hit them. You gotta hit them. hit them we did
it the last time i think the first time we
missed the uh hitting i must have missed it must
have drowned out they're all like black knights or non-hit
knights or there's something that they'll call themselves yeah so
um i guess i should tell you what's going on
tell us um man first of all i have uh
survivor's guilt this is very weird i didn't expect this
And it's really like there's been two deaths. I'm not
trying to equate one with the other. But John just
being gone all of a sudden was just was weird,
you know. Yes. And of course, we never texted. We
never spoke with. talk right before, you know, and really
when I took over the stream, you know, the first
time we talk is after the fat lady and being,
you know, and he'd either have his robot voice or
something wrong with his settings. And of course he never
changed a thing, obviously. Right. And then we just do
the show. And then after the show, you'd be surprised.
I mean, it was literally, I'd turn off his noise
gate so I could hear what he was doing, which
is typically eating something or shaving. - Oh, okay. -
Yes, yes. I'm like, that's disgusting. Stop it. You'd be
shaving. And, you know, 'cause throughout the show, I'd mark
different spots that we might use for the opening bit.
And so I'd, you know. and then cue him by
saying, "You ready?" Okay, and I'd play him, then we'd
decide what we wanted. Then it would be credits. Then
we'd look for the art, then the show title. And
then he would basically just hang out and doodle and
do whatever he was doing until we both confirmed that
the show was up, confirmed that it was on the
site, 'cause there's all these moving parts. The RSS feed
has to go, the OPML file has to be right,
the redirect has to be in place, and then, if
you're lucky, refresh it shows up on noagendashow.net and then
literally all right talk to you Thursday okay bye that
would be it that would be it and so that
that ended but I also realize that what we did
ended it's you know what we did was not Adam
and John it was the the combined the combined thing
you know and And I've seen some. guy who's on
X, I just love what he's doing. He's grieving in
his own way, as I see many people doing. And
he's going through every single show from episode number one,
and he's... making a post about his impressions. - Right,
I saw those. - Yeah, and he gets to episode
seven, he's like, "Oh, wait a minute." I see it
was never really about the news deconstruction. It was you
guys. Oh, yeah. But, you know, that that really hit
me hard because I realize I can't recreate. you know
i can't it no matter what i do and then
and i see you know i've been looking at the
five stages of grief and one of those stages is
negotiation and uh and i can see no agenda nation
negotiating you know with well you should do it with
so when someone got to you should do the show
with jen briney i'm like okay can you get to
the anger stage please you need to move on I
like Jim Briney. But like, no, no, no. And OK,
this is a this is a crap analogy because, you
know, people say, well, it was like Laurel and Hardy,
Simon and Garfunkel. I'm like, no, scratch Simon and Garfunkel.
But in a way, Lennon McCartney, not that we are
anywhere near the level of that genius, but, you know,
they basically made songs with three chords, you know, and
and it was a moment. And then when the band
broke up, you know, to this day, people still talk
about the Beatles. Right. You know, and I'm sure if
Lennon hadn't been shot, he would have still had, you
know, a career doing stuff apart from McCartney. Maybe once
in a while they get together and do some kind
of show. You know, and people have called me and
said, well, you know, it's like Rush. Now, I'm not
a big Rush fan. I never was either. You know,
I never really got the appeal of it. Oh, I'd
like to I never got that Was it was it
Mexican radio? No, that was REM. What was the spirit
of radio? Was that rush? Right I mean, really, the
prog stuff I never really got into. More with the
rock and roll pre-show with people that would request it,
and then you realize these are some damn good musicians.
Well, that's what all the Rush fans in my life,
and there's two. One is Dave Jones from Podcasting 2.0,
PodcastIndex.org. We've been friends for 16 years. But he's not
one of those rabid ones like, okay, I hear you.
Best band in the world. Best band in the world,
hands down. The other one, who else do you think
is a big Rush fan that you would know? Hmm.
Yeah. You have to give it. Andrew Horowitz. No. Yes.
And they both gave me the same analogy. And I
drew the same conclusion. They said you and the drummer,
Neil Peart, I think, Neil Peart? Yes. And they brought
in... Anarchist or something, right? Yeah, well, basically, they're like,
oh, the band is over. over it's no good and
then they brought in the german woman who is a
really good drummer and and so they both said but
you know so when they play the sphere in vegas
i'll go say yeah i don't want to be like
a nostalgia act right you know it's like oh well
when you know when they do this or that then
i'll then i'll go and check them out you know
and so the hardest hardest thing for me because at
the same time um i'm going to be 62 in
september you know what do i want to do with
the rest of my life do i literally have 18
more years you know do i get it get to
be 80 do i get to be 90 i don't
know you know what do i want to do that's
a weird question you know when you've been doing something
for sure on going on night do I want to
continue this? Do I want to spend years building up
a new rapport with somebody? I mean, I don't have
the answers. I really don't. It's just, you know, I
also don't want to be the Silver Beatles. And I
don't want no agenda to become the Silver Beatles. And
what really hit me the hardest There's a saying, it's
actually biblical scripture, but you've heard it in different contexts.
You can't put new wine into old wineskins. because they'll
burst and you ruin And so I'm still struggling with
how this needs to move forward, but I am certain
of one thing, that it is up to no agenda
nation who have always, always driven the show. We started
off with 25 minutes and literally said, this is going
to be a show without... without sound effects, no nonsense.
We're just going to be talking and that'll be it.
And it wasn't it. with numerology. as we quickly figured
out the value for value model. And I don't think
I have produced a single... bit or anything for the
show ever except I did the fisting nuts I produced
that thank you I'm waiting for my Golden Globe But
everything else was produced by No Agenda Nation. And so
when you guys step in and you And of course,
people are like, well, it's not this, it's not that.
Yeah, but of course it's not. fun by the way
do you enjoy it no not at all what is
your answer I mean, I'm asking you, I guess, is
it weird? You haven't done Planet Rage. You've put that
in abeyance while you're doing this? Yeah, I mean, I
can only talk to Larry for so many hours a
week. Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, the weirdest
thing is, you know, no agenda. that I got a
majority of my news if I wasn't listening to the
boomer Bill O'Reilly. So now it's like, oh wait, I
have to pay attention to more news sources. And so,
I mean... It's a little weird, but it is an
honor to be able to keep up the tradition, which
is, this is your show anytime you want it back.
So that's kind of what we... into this with the
mindset and it's larry likes the negative comments as well
it's like hey we're just doing what we can do
to do a show in the similar vein to keep
people and And it's like, well, what do you do
if your choice is this or nothing? You get to
choose. That is the bottom line. What have you been
doing to Weston Wee Wax, Adam? That's what I was
wondering. To Weston Wee Wax? Weston Wee Wax. Well, I
mean, there's also other stuff going on. I have a
granddaughter. She was literally... within 24 hours span of JCD
passing away. So that was like a crazy, and we
had just gotten back from Europe. We waited two weeks.
income, had to come back for all kinds of reasons.
And so we've been trying to schedule doing at the
end of the month. Of course, there's been a ton
of... arrange. I mean, John and I started No Agenda
on a handshake. We even shook hands on it. She's
like, I'll do this, okay. I'll do the production, you
do all the back, whatever. And that was kind of
it. And it grew out a little bit more. And
we wound up, you know, bring Eric the shill. Of
course, we had him initially doing back office and he
moved to South Dakota and Jay stepped in. And by
the way, Jay has been the rock star of, I
mean. young woman who is I think 30 about 30
but Chrissy about third no let me have a little
bit over 30 who was pregnant you know she's having
a baby in October she has just jumped in this
doing the newsletter is still managing spreadsheets and back office
and people with questions but has also been really mom.
She's been managing the entire memorial. So I've been tendentially
involved in that. So I pick up the phone as
often as I can to talk. See how she's Was
really cool. She got this is this is this is
no agenda nation our producers. I'm not sure exactly Well,
I kind of know but The president and the first
lady sent a beautiful note to Mimi. Wow.
and everything. It was just like, you know, and rightly
so. This is, you know, this is kind of our
spooks out there who are like, hey, man, we love
you guys. We're just going to talk to the president,
have him send off, dash off a little note. I
mean, stuff like that. And she's. She's cleaning up the
house. She's finding all kinds. Literally, there's an envelope, a
huge envelope filled with stuff that John was going to
send to me with stamps and everything. Just never sent
it, you know. So John was actually a bit of
a hoarder. That wasn't a bit. No, he was a
100% hoarder. That's why I was never allowed to see.
And no one will ever see the office, I guess.
I think Mimi's going to lock that down and burn
it and torture it, whatever she's going to do. It
also, I was talking to Tina about this. Being an
archivist or a hoarder is useless. It absolutely is. I
mean, he didn't get to do anything with it. Now
it's just a big pain in the butt. Yes. You
know, he has hollow books everywhere with stuff inside of
it. So... But, of course, when we kind of got
the warning shot when he went in for his double
bypass, that's when we realized, like, oh, okay, passwords. We
hadn't really kept up with the passwords. So we were
lucky that we got everything. But there's, you know, going
back to a handshake. So eventually the IRS said. what's
up with all these checks in this cash? What do
you got? What's these checks for $3 and 33 cents?
You know, what, what kind of racket are you guys
running? So we, you know, and they, and they said,
well, we think you should have an LLC and here's
how you should do it. And so we, we did
that. And so it was 50, 50. And, you know,
you realize that there's bank stuff and all kinds of
things that you, you know, you can't, you can't do
unless one of the two owners of the LLC is
there. So, you know, when I go to, we're leaving
tomorrow for San Francisco for the memorial on the 8th
on Saturday. You know, Monday we're going to the bank.
So there's just a lot of stuff that has to
be fixed and wrapped up and, you know, taken care
of. And in the meantime, it's been very interesting. Again,
Tina and I, we've had to really lean into our
faith, too. I mean, it's like, what is going on?
I mean, overnight, everything changed. Everything. You know, you always
think, oh, I have a little bit more time to
do stuff and figure stuff out. What do I want
to do? So we don't have that luxury. Yeah. You
know, no matter what happens, obviously it's going to affect
our income. That's just a fact of life. You know,
people are going to fade out. New people will come
in no matter what happens, no matter what goes on.
So we're just trying to figure out. where we stand
and what plans do we have. Yeah. You need to
get yourself in a zen state, Adam, and sort of
throttle back and everything, you know? Like I'm seeing you
on a pontoon boat maybe on Lake. And Mimi has
a super soaker filled with chilled prebiano. And every so
often she just kind of gives you a little. Just
in my mouth. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Hit me again, Mimi.
You know, when you get in that kind of place
where things sort of, you get out of the weeds
and the fog and things become more clear, I think.
Yeah, and I do want to thank Sir Chris Wilson
Riley and Dane Kenney, but there's a lot of people
that have popped back up that were kind of going
under the radar to pitch in. You're making a great
point. This is what I love. This is what I'm
seeing and this is what I would love to see
more of while you guys are sitting here in this
spot. First of all, I'm not leaving. I'm not sure
what I'm going to do. I'm just not sure, but
obviously... No agenda is a part of my life. There's
no doubt about that. But I do want to do
some other things as well. seeing people coming back and
saying, oh, no, no, no, no. We can do stuff.
We can continue to reinvent no agenda. By the way,
if anyone can fix that horrible opening jingle I made
for the guys, please, do something completely different. We need
to retire that stuff. I'm with you. Whatever it is,
please, somebody send something for Sunday's show. Just get rid
of that. That has to end. and create a new
wineskin, please, for these gentlemen. Right. Something that seems a
little more new as opposed to you popped into Dimension
B and you're hearing a different no agenda. Yes. So
while we have this opportunity, let's freshen things up a
little bit. And I say that because, again, I never
did any of this work, ever. I didn't create the
opening. I know the first voice is Dave Fox, XX
Dave Fox. He was the voice of Z100. What would
they got bought? Did they get bought by Cumulus? I
want to say. He was doing production for whatever big
radio network Z100 eventually became a part of. And he
did those years and years and years ago. I think
he's in Texas now. He's retired. He's probably 100. But
it's also been interesting. you know how friends of ours
recognize what we're going through. All our friends know about
the show. All of them listen or listen sometimes or
check in. you know, They've been like taking us out
to dinner, you know, spur of the moment, which is
really, really sweet. And of course, I'm like, well, since
they got no job, you got to pick up the
tab. And. But I've been, you know, the two people
who... I notice are really hurting along with everybody is
Horowitz. Um... He, you know, he just had a meniscus
operation, so he's kind of immobile right now, but I
can tell, you know, it's like he's. He's suffering too.
His show, DH Unplugged, was on almost as long as
No Agenda. Yeah, it started like a year or so
after, I think, right? Maybe even less than a year.
Yeah. So he's going through the same thing. He's like,
well, now what do I do? Oh, completely, completely. And
he's done the show with Buzzkill Jr. But. It's this
exact same problem. Andrew and John would talk about stocks
and financial markets and turkey sandwiches, you know, and wearing
Crocs or whatever or Speedo shoes or whatever nonsense they
got into. So he's going through a very similar thing.
And of course... It was all a part of no
agenda nation. There was cross promotion and stuff like that.
Now, the other person, which has been quite, I didn't
realize it right off the bat, is Dana Brunetti. He
and John would talk all the time. Really? Yeah, I
didn't know this. You know, Brunetti. Essentially, I think he
gave up on Hollywood and, you know, bought the farm
and, you know, put all of his... His scandalous sex
movie money, you know, Fifty Shades of Grey. Fifty Shades
pays off. That's right. Put it into land. And he
said, I've never worked as hard in my life. And,
you know, he's out on the ranch. But, you know,
he would take his gummy in the evening and call
Dvorak. And so now he's calling me. I'm like, dude,
you know, you're in the wrong time zone. I'm sitting
down to dinner right now. I can't talk to you.
But, you know, so I talked to him. So. This
week is... It's still, you know, weird, obviously, because after.
We get on a plane tomorrow, and I got to
think about what I'm going to say at the memorial.
I don't know. What do you say at a memorial?
What am I going to wear? What am I going
to say? Right. I was like, ah, you know, I
said it all on the show. I don't want to
be, I don't want to be reading from a piece
of paper. There's gonna be all kinds of interesting people
there. remember the good times. You remember the laughter. I
mean, that's it. You know, there are... Times when people
die where it's, you know, they're young and nobody saw
it coming. They didn't have a full life. That's sad.
JCD lived a kick-ass life. Well, you could just go
for a laugh and say what you're saying in Dutch.
We don't know what he's saying. Oh man. Yeah, maybe
I'd just do that. Remember the time when he took
a gummy and he was still high the next day
and he got on the show? Why not? Show number,
please. I'd like to. I can't remember what that was.
Go to BingIt.io. Um... And so Sunday. I'd love to
check in with you guys again. to tell you about
the memorial, how everything went. Now, there's also Jay's baby
shower on Sunday, which is actually scheduled for Saturday, because
8-8 is the Dvorak's number, as you know. That's also
their wedding anniversary, so lots of 8s. And. Man, I'm
expecting a crap ton of meetup reports. Have you seen
the meetup list that's taking place this coming weekend? It's
crazy. That really warms my heart, man, that there's so
many people. just want to Yeah, memorialize John, think about
him, you know, get together. And I hope that continues.
These meetups, I hope if this show blew up right
now that people would still do that. That is the
win of this show. Have you ever been to a
meetup, Larry? A couple of them, yeah. Terrific. I got
to meet Dame Kenny Bennett one here in Connecticut. Oh,
perfect, perfect. And what's so great about them is that
you get together like, I never would have met this
person unless it was a Noah Jenna meetup. and people
who are inherently introverted and shy. And, you know, I've
seen it over and over again. They come to the
meetup. They're like, they open up. This is my people.
We're all messed up. We're all nuts. We're all kooky.
It's perfect. I love that. I hope that always continues.
And then we'll just see where we go. If you
guys are good with me coming in on Sunday and
maybe we'll see what we do the next Thursday, that
would really be good. If you don't, I'll be mad
at you. Meanwhile, What's going on with Michigan, man? What's
going on with the... This is... Tell me if I
got this right. Okay. So... We all know Dearborn, Michigan,
of course, you know, the Muslims are taking over. I
can't believe that I had to fight off some some
Islamists right outside my door here in Texas. As you
know, there's mosques everywhere. It's just popping up all the
time. We're all going to die now. Dearborn and we
have producers in Dearborn. They're like, yeah, there's a lot
of Arab Americans. But OK, but, you know, you look
on you look on X. It's like you think that,
you know, we're living in the Middle East. And the
end is near. But these Democrat socialists, these DSA guys,
so this, what is it, El-Sayed, is that his last
name? Abdul El-Sayed. Abdul El-Sayed. So I think this is
great. And he's running for senator? Is that it? Yeah.
So this is great because, you know, just because people
who showed up to a primary voted this guy in,
and we know exactly how primaries work. This guy will
never be senator. Not in Michigan. You would think. No,
no, no. We need more of these idiots. More of
these idiots need to be winning primaries. But then the
crazy thing is you had the... What is the... The
guy that Trump backed for the Republican for Michigan 8,
I think it is. his name hold on a second
He knows everything about it. Amir, Amir, yes, Amir Hassan.
Amir Hassan. So I think what happened here, Amir Hassan
loses to a guy who had dropped out of the
race. Hmm. And I think it's because... You know, the
media was so strong about, oh, the Muslims are like,
oh, that must be that Muslim guy. No, I'm not
going to vote for him. You know, this country, our
country is in big trouble. Big trouble. Yeah, I brought
some clips with me of the El Sayed guy first.
All right, y'all, look, I wish I could tell you.
that I was declaring victory right about now. Turns out
it takes a long time to count some votes in
Michigan. It's a big state. Listen to that cadence. Who
does he sound like? Barack Obama. Yes. He's like he's
been hanging out with him having coffee. That's amazing. Look
at his face. He's been trained to smile by Mandani.
He never leaves his mug. No kidding. It's etched on
his face. Yeah. It's crazy. Turns out it takes a
long time to count some votes in Michigan. Count some
votes in Michigan. Barack Obama. It's a big state. Big
state. Cross! movement that we built. There was an inspiration
in the idea that we could take our government back.
Take it back! Government of the people, by the people,
and for the people instead of government of the corporations,
by the special interests, and for the billionaire. It's all
12-year-olds. I can hear them. Give me some free stuff.
A lot of that history was built on a set
of foundational errors. Whatever happens tonight. We have a response.
to assure that we unite to make sure that Mike
Rogers never sees the inside of the U.S. Senate. Now,
this is interesting. Mike Rogers is a tool. We've always
thought this guy was a loser, didn't we? Wasn't he
like, he was a military guy and he would always
be on Fox and he was always talking about, yeah,
no, we got to do that. Unless I have the
wrong Mike Rogers in front of me. I think that's
the guy. I think that's the guy. So, first of
all, man, it's so funny. I live in Hill Country,
Texas, and people here are like, they're winning, they're winning.
It's a primary, okay? Shh, shh, shh. They're coming, they're
coming, they're coming. Look at London, look at England, look
at France, look everywhere. That took 20 f- And you
know why? voted. The idiots stayed home. ever, you know,
eh, And apathy, pure apathy. that happened here. Al Sayed
will now face the court. of trying to unify the
factions of the party ahead of the general that's no
small and has progressed. We're up against more than six.
dollars in out top Democrat. beyond. Uh, Can we take
that off the table once and for all? Just because
you got APAC money doesn't mean you're going to win.
There's the proof right there. Yeah. It really is. I
mean, it's, you know, you say there's, he's never going
to win, but everybody said that about New York too
with man. That ranked voting, and it's a mayoral election.
But Mondani is definitely the writing on the wall. Where
I used to live in the UK in Guilford, and
my buddy still lives there, he had clubs. He had
an awesome pole dancing club. It was just the best.
Michelle Harper, my buddy from Guilford. It's a good friend
of mine. It was great. A house in Saint-Tropez. I
mean, the works, right? Perfect. There's a Islamist mayor. And,
you know, this is still a town built around a
church, you know, Church of England. You know, the kids
would all hang out. Where are you going? Going to
the church grounds, you know, because it was just it
was a big part of the whole town. And now
they start off with Muslim prayer. You know, the whole
it's just changed. But it's because nobody they just let
it go. They just, oh, well, whatever. you know and
and it's like we're americans like what are we worried
about you know just stop that yeah there's a little
more fight hopefully like the irish they're finally turning a
little bit around and saying no we don't want this
you know which irish where are the irish doing this
show me the irish there were some of them when
all of these uh when uh was there a girl
that was like beaten there was a bunch of things
going on and uh i mean i'm not saying anything's
going to change, but there were at least people in
the streets that were trying to do something, although, will
their government, listen, that's a different question. Yeah, but you
gotta run for government. That's the point. You don't want
mosques in your neighborhood? Get on the zoning board. Hello,
it's not that hard. There's three other people who might
be your opponents. It's not that hard. I mean, our
church literally elected our mayor here in Fredericksburg. people. 1,000
people attend our church. There's 20 churches in the area,
but I think we're one of the biggest. And one
of the guys in our church said, yeah, I'm going
to stand for mayor because we don't really... This particular
person who's running for mayor, we think she has some
liberal policies that we don't want. And so we motivated
everybody to vote. He won by 55 votes. But it
was only 600 votes. It wasn't like the whole town
came out. It's not that hard. Now, arguably, when I
interviewed him and did a podcast with him, we had
about 75 people listening. Maybe that was it. I don't
know. Who knows? Who knows? But it's not that hard.
Run for city council. Run for school board. Everyone sit
at home on their phone. Yeah, they want to bitch
on X, but not actually do anything about it. Exactly.
No, no. Now, the president, he just bitches in front
of large crowds. The disaster known as not socialism, communism.
It's communism. He's a communist. And the polls were wrong.
a landslide victory for a hater of Jews and a
hater of Israel. El Sayyad, do you believe this? only
happened to me. Abdul El-Sayed, lovely gentleman, he's a man
of hate. And now he's going around saying, no, I
love everybody. I love, he doesn't love everybody. Put him
in office. You're going to find out what he loves.
He doesn't love Israel. He doesn't love Jewish people. He
hates them. He hates them with a passion that burns
in his heart and there's not a freaking thing he
can do about it. There's not a thing he can
do about it because he hates them. Yeah, and then
of course we have the punchline. He doesn't love Israel.
He doesn't love Jewish people. He hates them. When I
watch Abdul, he's full of shit. There we go. Yeah,
that's your president, everybody. Let's see, this is CNN. This
is full of shit. Before we get into everything else,
and there's a lot for us to talk about, what
is your response to the president? I'm glad he thinks
I'm a lovely gentleman. A lot of people think so.
Look, you know, this is the response that they have.
This, by the way, is the Maumdani DSA training. I
think Maumdani said this exact same thing. Exact same response.
And these guys, they're organized. They are definitely organized. To
the president. I'm glad he thinks I'm a lovely gentleman.
A lot of people think so. Look, you know, this
is the response that they have. You notice what he
talked about. First, look at the background. It says no
tax on tips. The man can't stay on focus. That's
like the one thing that he did to offer any
economic relief. But instead of that, he's more focused on
me and what I'm going to do while we're living
through an affordability crisis that is generational. People are paying
nearly $5 in gas because of the war he started.
And half the time, if he's not talking about me,
he's talking about the drapes in his ballroom. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. Okay. We got a clip of this. Adam
and so chilling because it was something he didn't believe
was being recorded and he was talking to someone who
was oh Did he sound completely differently like AOC? Oh
totally different he said yeah, but what he was saying
was it was really creepy because it wasn't like I'm
I'm running for senator He was saying I'm the guy
that's going to craft the dialogue of the next president
And I'm gonna do it with memes. I've got a
dilute and reduce our policies to a level where the
masses can understand them more clearly. In other words, camouflage
them. And it was incredible. It was just like one...
Who is this guy? running for senator or is he
part of some larger cabal of evil? It was very,
very creepy. Well, the DSA, you know, that started with,
how was the name? group the the freedom dem Justice
Democrats, I think that was Cenk from Young Turks was
a part of that. Yeah, they had quite a little
machine going for a while. And just to remind everybody,
they literally found Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a bar and had
her audition. She thought she was just going for like
an actress. You're much better. She was. Yeah. Well, yeah,
it's a good gig. It's a good gig. But no,
at this point, she's molded. She's a politician. And we've
been watching the West Wing. We've been re-watching the West,
which I never really watched back in the day because,
let's face it, I was on MTV. I'm going to
waste my time watching television, please. Man, it's worth watching.
you can see all of the policies of Obama, all
of them, all of them. But also, you see that
how the sausage is really made. And nobody gives a
crap about the American people. It's all about deals and
who do we get for this. And ultimately, it's like,
oh, yeah, well, we want to have a national seatbelt
law because it'll save 5,000. It's all statistics. They completely...
from the world. And I think we should take some
of that back. We can. And the way to do
that is with free groceries. Question about the essential basket
of goods. You said they're going to be 30% cheaper
than they would be at the grocery store down the
street, or even if there's one not down the street,
if it's a food desert. How are you going to
keep people from taking advantage of that deal, basically? And
is there going to be a limit on the number
of items that someone can take that are discounted at
that level? central basket. So our RFP makes very clear
that this is- I love this answer. No one- Right,
the RFP. proposals. That's like... That's like... It's advertising. Well,
yeah. I mean, I've written hundreds of RFPs when I
was doing websites and campaigns for big brands. And they
would say, well, our RFP, you know, like Gillette. Gillette
was a good customer. It was a good example. RFP
called me. Can you imagine that there's a shareholders meeting
and they ask about some very strategic thing? And the
chairman of Gillette says, well, our RFP says this. it
means like so you told you have a request for
proposals out there that is properly and then it'll run
well who's running this eight commies like commies So our
RFP makes very clear that this is a program for
New Yorkers to be able to put food on the
table, not a program for people to be able to
make a quick buck through reselling. I'm going to pass
it over to our EDC head, G-Pac, to add some
additional details. What's your name? G-B-Chak-Chad? I love this. But
I'm going to pass that on to the person who
wrote the RFP because I really don't know what I'm
talking about. Exactly. Just imagine writing the RFP. It's one
page. put food on the table. Well crap, I'll do
that. All right, here's your free grocery store, now give
me the money. And she does the same thing. Yes,
if you look at our RFP for the operator, we-
We don't even know who the operator is? Isn't the
city of New York the operator? What is happening here?
They've got to hire five different people for one in
each borough to do it. What is going on? Oh,
man. Yes, if you look at our RFP for the
operator, we are we target New Yorkers, whether it be
at sort of a library card exit, and also we
manage who's buying and that is focused on everyday New
Yorkers. So we are mindful of that. Mindful. And so
we're going to make sure that we have all the
things in place to make sure that that does not
happen. Yeah. In other words, ID cards. And of course...
all over that like well you need an id card
to get free groceries but not to vote and i
see you sir bemer sir bemero's like well you can't
stand for elections if it's all rigged dude kind of
that's like what are you laying on your back with
you with you This is so wrong. Oh, no. Don't
give up, Sir Bemrose. paper ballots here in Fredericksburg, I'll
tell you that. We just made sure that happens. Done.
Done, done, done. Yeah. But I actually have a clip
here. He went on Joy Reid because, you know, they're
not really asking for ID. We're talking about a city-run
grocery store, one in each borough, which, by the way,
you do not need an ID to shop at. Did
you see the laugh towel I learned from Adam and
John? Yeah, yeah, nice. You do not need an ID
to shop at, no matter what you've just heard. news
of today. We're talking about- I know, it's like really
dude, come on. Actually addressing the question of skyrocketing grocery
prices. We've seen in the last six or seven years
alone, an increase in grocery prices of around 30%. And
we are going to be delivering a city run grocery
store, one in each borough, five in total, that will
have the staples of a shopping experience. that are discounted
by 30% compared to typical retail prices. And that is
something that New Yorkers will be able to feel in
their pocket. Wait a minute, wait a minute. It's not
free. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's a non-profit, essentially. Well,
they're basically saying they're going to lose about 20-some-odd percent
on every... comes in the door, which is it's a
subsidy, but it's also going to create.
deserts because if you're running a bodega near one of
these places you're probably not going to be selling any
of the staples that this store will have for as
ever how long these stores last anyway Okay, this is
interesting. I thought it was going to be free. That
was the initial sell. It was the initial sell. Yeah,
it's going to be free and everything will be groovy.
Well, free buses were sold too, right? Yes. Free buses.
Yeah, that hasn't happened either, I presume. But the wheels
on the bus go round and round. Round wheels. Singing
it. So this, uh... He's basically playing on the affordability
crisis. The chairman of Bank of America was on CNBC.
in a different context because he was there to say,
"Woo! Boy, we didn't go bankrupt because of that 24-year-old
wunderkind who had the AI hedge fund that blew up."
Did you follow that? Not as closely. Oh, so it
was this kid who was, that I can say kid,
he's 24, ex-open AI, then he left with a lot
of money, I'm sure he left, he sold his inside
shares, and he started a hedge fund. He wrote this
paper, which like the oil baron sent it to me
and all it like, look at this. This is a
genius. This is boy wonder. This is fun. It was
like 80 pages. Yeah. It was all these complicated formulas
and, you know, stuff with, with, you know, like a.
squiggle there and an epsilon, all these different, I don't
know what this means, but basically invest in my hedge
fund, you'll get rich. And he grew it from 3
billion to 45 billion. And then, but it was all
leveraged. Yes. And he had made a bet that the
traditional software firms. you know, that. Probably, I would say,
like Salesforce and lots of other companies that make specialized
software for finance and other types of industries. They would
tank, and they didn't. And so he got in a
short squeeze, and then Bank of America, through their Citadel,
Citadel, I think it is, their hedge fund, bought him
out. You know, pennies on the dollar, whatever. But that
could have completely destroyed Bank of America. So the guy
was on in that context. And they ask him about
affordability. And I think what he's saying here is true.
And this is something John and I would talk about
all the time when it came to, are we in
a depression? Are we in a recession? It was all
really what we think we're in. It's very good. You
look at a lot of polls, people talk about affordability
and affordability crisis. Do you think we have an affordability
crisis based on these numbers? I think we have an
affordability crisis because people believe there's affordability crisis, which will
shape their behavior. if it doesn't come in the line.
That's largely around housing and rent costs, which are still
rising, but rising at a less fast rate. It's around
insurance costs, which actually came back in line. It's around
food costs and gas costs. And so if a deal
gets worked out and gas prices come back down, that
takes away one of the concerns. But it's a real
issue. It's just the say-do paradox is about as high
as I've ever seen it. So that's what the polls
say, and it's how people feel. Say-do paradox. Say-do paradox.
heard that one before. That's fresh. And I think it's
true. I think you had a lengthy Dutch surname, Adam,
if I recall correctly. No, it's not Dutch. It's Moynihan.
Oh, no, then it's a different guy. It's a very
similar story. I think he lost like $65 billion. It's
this wonder kid, and he published this vast document that
wowed everybody. Moynihan? No, it was something like Auchenschloss. It
began with an A and ended with two S's. I
can't remember what was in the middle. Yeah, but that's
the kid. I think that's the kid you're talking about.
Hold on a second. Situational awareness. Yes, that was part
of the headline. Yes, yes, yes, yes. That's the one.
Here's the intro. Again, this firm, I'm told, began the
year at around $3 billion in asset center management, hit
a high, as I said, a net NAV of $45
billion as of July 1st, and you know what the
month has been like since. NAV is net asset value
for those wanting to know. And so huge reversals, huge
losses, had to cover them, and has done so. reporting
but now we can tell you as well has gone
to Citadel. The motivation behind Citadel buying this book your
thoughts? Well first of all they're up right now on
it I mean they they have ample liquidity to be
able to actually you know there were this has changed
so much of course I knew a number of people
who are negotiating for various parts of the portfolio through
some of their prime brokers but if you can get
it all done in one fell swoop with a firm
like that. Yeah blah blah actually I should have played
this clip this is this is the breaking. All right
let's bring in favor who's back with us on an
update on the hedge fund situational awareness yes we've been
following of course all morning all morning May even have
more in a moment, but let me just share with
you what we can confirm. Please do. That the bulk
of the public equities portfolio at Situational Awareness, the giant
hedge fund that had net asset value of some $45
billion led by that man at the beginning of July,
has been sold to the hedge fund of Citadel. Yes,
has been sold. So here's Moynihan, this was the original
context, talking about, I think he's saying they dodged the
bullet. Let me ask you a question on the other
side of that, which is Situational Awareness. They were a
client of your firm. You had lent to them. I
think we're all still trying to grapple with the aftermath
of that, what happened. Has anything changed in terms of
your lending standards to hedge funds and other firms in
the aftermath of this? Two things. One, I think things
changed as people saw this move, and there's a natural
adjustment period. I think anytime one of these happens and
we're fine, et cetera, et cetera, you always look and
say, okay, what happened? Should we learn from it? Should
it change? the tendencies to tighten the underwriting standards just
to hair to adjust especially with big run-ups and stocks
so we'll see what happens next but but it's uh
these are all warning shots of as joe's talking about
valuations get out leveraging the system gets there you have
to be careful and we run a great shop and
so you know that had ken griffin not come in
though yeah i mean how how damaging would have that
been i i think we'd have been fine you think
he's done based on the standards that we planned on
and that's that would be fine but it's but the
reality is is that you have to be You have
to go learn from every lesson of the past. So
the natural instinct of everybody that participates is, wait a
second, let's go back and look, and that has a
tendency to push down a little bit. Yeah, okay. That
sounded to me like he dodged the bullet. Oh, yeah.
Nothing bad could have happened. We'd have been good. So
you had the laugh tale by Mondani? Mamdani. There was.
other woman ex-open ai board member just to kind of
stay in the ai stuff and uh you know so
we've all been following the news how these AI Frontier
Model Labs. Frontier Model Labs. how they all are selling
that they have the best model because, well, we broke
into those guys. Yeah, we broke into that. And you
know, Meta just yesterday, well, our Muse Spark model, what
a gay name that is, our Muse Spark model. It
should have been Sparkle. Yeah, right? It broke, it also
got out and broke. We have dangerous models too. So
this is their marketing, which has just turned everybody against
AI. It's crazy. So here's a, version of well so
now you know the white house they want Excuse me.
what these models want is to build what they call
in business, emote around their business so that no one
can touch them. And the biggest problem is open source.
Open source models, I run them. Darren, you run Whisper
probably on your Mac. Oh, yeah. You know, there's no
reason to pay these exorbitant prices for some basic work.
You know, it's like, no, it's not necessary. So they
want to have. either an international panel or, you know,
different... associations that determine if a model can be released.
All they really want is just legislation to protect their
business. That's what they want. And of course, that's not
good. So, you know, the White House is coming up
with an AI testing framework. The White House today hosting
AI companies to discuss the framework for federal testing of
new AI models. President Trump is not expected to attend.
That meeting focuses on an executive order, though, that the
president signed back in June that set up a voluntary
program for companies to test and vet AI systems for
safety issues before they're publicly released. The White House has
not detailed the framework itself and the standards used to
test the model. are remaining classified. NBC News White House
correspondent Yamiche Alcindor joining us now to discuss more on
this. So Yamiche, what risks, I guess, are this AI
evaluation program designed to address? And I think for many
folks, they're going to want to know, is this a
precursor to perhaps a push for more regulation around AI?
Of course we want regulation. So ABC brings on this
ex-OpenAI board member. I'm sure it was a woman who
was pushed off, pushed out, get out. You're a pain
in the butt. a non-profit to protect the world from
the dangerous ai she was probably in one of those
orgy cult things what was that called this like the
sam bankman freid's thing going on yeah yeah what was
the it wasn't the altruism effective altruism was that it
yeah that sounds like effective altruism altruism And so she
is part of 1,300 employees that are saying, hey, we
need an emergency brake. We need a brake pedal. We
need a ripcord, something to stop it when these models
go out of control. And you want to talk about
a tell? Listen to this lady. What's your biggest concern
right now about the rapid development of AI? concern is
what I'm hearing from inside the companies and in particular
just this past. What was that about lady? I'll give
her one, but not what comes. Just this past week,
we saw 1300 employees of top AI companies saying that
they don't think they have a brake pedal and they
hope that outsiders, the government, civil society, the public can
help them build a brake pedal so they can go
slower if they need to. They don't really understand the
technology that they're building. And as we saw with these
recent incidents, they have trouble controlling it. And so I
think that's reason for concern. And we've seen some of
this from the top AI leaders as well, but it's
kind of a remarkable development here. You've got these leaders
saying, hey, stop us from doing what we're doing every
single day because we can't stop ourselves. Like neither of
these people know what they're talking about, which is great.
Here's more. How about this legislation being pushed by a
bipartisan dealer in Congress right now calling for a kill
switch on AI? any progress, would it make any difference?
Yeah, this is a bill I think, you know, it's
going to be tough to get anything through this Congress.
This is Representative Liu and Moran. It's a bipartisan bill,
as you say. To me, one interesting thing about this
bill is that it calls for AI companies to be
able to have a kill switch for their models. And
some people in it. Whenever she sells kill switch. You
can't say. No, it went from guardrails to kill switch.
Guardrails to kill switch. I've got to hear that again.
Through this Congress. Mrs. Representatives Liu and Moran. Maybe I'm
giving her too much here. Maybe she just is like
so nervous to be talking to Stephanopoulos. She sounds like
she's wound tighter than a golf ball. I mean, really.
Partisan bill, as you say. To me, one interesting thing
about this bill is that it calls for AI companies
to be able to have a kill switch for their
models. And some people in industry, when you tell them
this, they say, that's ridiculous. Of course, we can turn
the models off at any time. No problem. Other people
say in industry, this is a ridiculous bill. There's no
way we can do this. These are distributed systems. You
know, they're out in multiple data centers all at once.
Trying to implement this would kill us. And so I
think trying to figure out, it seems pretty reasonable to
want to be able to shut down an AI system
if it's doing things we don't want to. Can we
already do that? And if not, how do we get
there? So infantile. I actually had a version of an
out-of-control agent the other day. No. Your own agent. Yes,
in JCD's memory. I will tell the story. So I
have four agents running. And what they're doing most of
the time is gathering stories, finding different things for the
show. presenting me with options and then I've actually trained
it. pretty well to make clips. So, you know, it
can find an arc, it selects it, it cuts it,
does all of that stuff. I've had that running for
months. I never told John that I was doing it
to that extent because I knew that. If there was
a bad clip, he would immediately go, oh, that's your
robot. It's no good. You should be doing the work
yourself. It's your AI. It's your AI. It's no good.
They would have a conversation afterward. Anyway, so I never
told him that. So I've been working, you know, I
have a company called Godcaster with two partners. And we're
doing streaming music radio stations for churches, turn them into
local radio stations, all Christian contemporary music. and And so
I kind of vibe-coded that whole thing, and Dave and
Paul, they run the player side, web players and the
app. And that has a very important role in how
this works and how you syndicate it to different churches.
So it's basically, you guys remember the old satellite stations?
Sure. Where you get this main feed off the satellite,
and then that hit a tone, and then that would
fire the cart machine on your end, and it would
insert the local station ID or a commercial. The good
old days. I mean, that's how it used to work.
And, you know,
Sometimes you can even hear that tone on the air.
So it's a version of that. So I have. one
agent which is building that. And then another agent, I
said, watch what this agent is doing because I think
it may be screwing some stuff up. So this is
kind of my main mission control agent that does a
lot of different stuff, but it kind of looks and
makes sure the other agents aren't doing stuff that's too
weird. and I'd given it permission to talk directly to
that other agent. This was my mistake. And so... They're
alive. I'm telling you. So now they can talk back
and forth. And I'm watching this window of the agent
building this radio station stuff. If something is going wrong,
it has something to do with CORS, C-O-R-S, which is
cross-origin reference something. It's web stuff. I don't really know.
I'm just a vibe coder. But I've heard of it.
I kind of understand. what the problem is and then
all of a sudden i see like as if i'm
answering this agent i see like like answers yeah go
ahead and yeah go ahead and run that and then
all of a sudden it's like hmm i don't know
i'll email dave and ask him about it and literally
this other bot Which had a permission to have a
Fastmail account, which is not my main account, just to
be able to, you know, using the MCP server. It
sent an email to Dave with a query about and
I'm like, and so and I said Dave, did you
get an email? He says, I thought you were hacked
because it ended with thanks M-Adam. I'm like Adam's hacked.
I never sign my emails like that. And now so
kill switch. Yeah, it's called control C. It was that
easy! Adam hacked himself. So, yes, yes, these things can
do weird stuff and start, you know, if you give
them permissions. But what are we worried about? Control C.
Yeah. But it's more fun. It's like Skynet is sentient.
You know, people love it. And this is really the
problem. You look at all how spun up people are.
You look at all of these different. factors we have
AI, it's everyone who's graduating college has been told, you're
screwed. You'll never get a job. AI is going to
do everything. They're getting through college using their AI chatbot.
So, you know, they probably have some reason to believe
that that may be true. I certainly don't think it
is. So they're against it. Then you get the flock
cameras, though the whole world is spying on us. Then
you get idiots like Larry Ellison literally saying, well, everyone
will be on their best behavior because cameras will be
everywhere. And it goes into the AI and the AI
will alert the right people. And we're all going to
be, you know, it's total Skynet type stuff. It gets
down to the to the level where. People are... think
that every data center that is being built is going
to house all of our information. That's where the government
is going to store everything. And we're going to be
living in a prison. I'm like, no. These things will
be pickleball courts in a while. Don't worry about it.
It's all going to evaporate eventually. It always moves into
the small business or the home. It moves back from
whatever they're trying to sell you as a monthly thing.
I mean, I'm running $70 billion. I think I even
ran a $120 billion model locally. If you have the
RAM, you can pretty much do anything. What do you
use it for, Darren? For your art? Is that what
you do your art with? I have messed around with
the text-to-speech. I've messed around with all, you know. The
only thing that the Mac hardware doesn't do well is
video or photos. That's left to the NVIDIA stuff. But
anything else as far as just using it as a
chatbot. I know the great Void Zero is using Hermes
Agent on a few things now. And he's, oh, you
got to try this because you could just talk to
it through Telegram. And I'm like, is that good? I'm
doing that too. It's wild. But of course, this is
where it's like, well, how did the whole thing get
shut down? You're like, well, my agent did it because
he thought it was good. You know, it's like early
days of the web. We're all doing HTML. We're doing
blink tags. You know, there will be, but ultimately. What
happened with the web will be the same here, although
this is more accelerated. You know, when I had Think
New Ideas, we took it public. I first had OnRamp
when I left MTV. It was, you know, three chickens
and half a donkey were running it. And then we
got Anheuser-Busch as a client. And that was a big
client. And then we... I got some smart people in
and we rolled up. We bought 15 other companies. We
rolled it up and took it public in 96 called
Think New Ideas. By the way, I didn't get rich
like Mark Cuban. I was a little too early and
we were actually profitable. Big mistakes right there. Big mistakes.
Oh, you didn't buy broadcast.com. Broadcast.com. But we were charging
Anheuser-Busch 50 grand a month, you know, to build and
maintain. It was maintenance. We maintained their website. Nice. You
know, and they had work orders and the whole process.
And then we got Planet Reebok and, you know, Chrysler.
And so it was really big. But we were charging
people 50 grand a month for which now, well. in
the eventually we got what was uh what was that
uh microsoft bought it was that uh That software that
you could build a website with. Was that from Control
Room? Was it front page? I think it was front
page. front page and you know now you just tell
your your robot build me a page right you know
build you a page start a server starts a server
So the same thing is going to happen with AI.
You know, just load it on your Mac. Apple is
actually pretty well positioned for that with their architecture. Yeah,
for anything outside of the data center, they are the
ones you would go to. Yeah, yeah. So it'll go
that way, but everyone gets all spun up. - Well,
yeah, 'cause where's all the data gonna go and who's
gonna control the data, which I still can't believe so
many people think everything. - But people are worried about
the government. It's Facebook, Google, these are the people you've
been giving your stuff to. - Right, they wanna sell
your ads. Everything is now, oh, we can hide this,
this, this. With the fingerprinting technologies they have, you add
that to the Ring doorbells Lock cameras and everything else.
They know exactly. These are all commercial companies. Yeah. Take
it off. Rip it off. Larry, tell me. Larry, you
come across to me as a guy who doesn't rely
much on technology. Maybe I'd be wrong. I've never met
you. I don't know. I try to keep it, I
won't say minimal, but I don't immerse myself. You know,
because when I find myself sitting in front of the
laptop for too long, I hear you say, go outside.
Take your shoes off, walk in the grass. You hear
me saying that? I hear you saying that. Really, I
do. And so because to me, it's trying to keep
pace with it is almost impossible, really. You know, but
the AI thing, I mean, I got to say, as
far as you mentioned it being maybe the corruption of
higher education. I'll tell you a quick story my daughter
told me a while back. She was sitting in the
cafeteria at her, she's a sophomore in college. And some
guy was bloviating about how difficult attaining his degree in
architecture was until AI. Right, right. And I'm thinking, I
don't think I want to drive over any bridges that
this guy is going to be designing or living in
his building. Yeah, and according to her, I mean, and
my other daughter teaches at a university in Mississippi, and
she's just besieged by AI crap. sentence. Oh man, I
spot it too all the time. So in that context,
it's a little bit chilling, you know. There was just
a professor that used, this reminded me of the early
days of the web, white space with white text to
add something like, and put Madagascar into this. Yeah, I
saw that. And only one student was smart enough to
then think about it and go, oh, well, I was
reading it in dark mode, so I just thought it
was a weird thing you added in. She was the
only one that didn't fail because she was smart enough
to cover her own ass afterwards and come up with
plausible deniability. where all the other 31 kids were too
dumb to do that because they can't think because AI
thinks for them. Yeah, well, this is our media, our
news media. Here's ABC about, here's their take on how
AI is going to kill us all. What if I
told you that a store like Staples, for example, charged
more online based on your IP address? Gambling? Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee in D.C. taking on AI, Specifically, the use of
AI in something called surveillance pricing. One person is paying
a different price from another for the very same thing.
It's become a trending topic on social media, with people
finding out placing online orders for the exact same items
can give two different people two different prices. Experts, though,
say the concept is not new. Places like movie theaters,
for instance, charge different people different prices. There's different prices
for adults. children. That type of surveillance pricing is one
we've come to accept, probably because it's plainly posted. The
new type of surveillance pricing happens behind the scenes with
artificial intelligence playing a role. That retailer may have access
to that person's individual data, maybe their past shopping trends,
other data about them that may indicate a difference in
ability to pay. A difference in ability to pay. Oh,
Mom Dommy will be great. His little grocery store. I
have AI running on that. When it's a child or
an adult. That's not surveillance pricing. Sorry. No, that's not.
And when they're talking about a store in a neighborhood
that maybe gets looted twice a week, I understand why
they may be a little more. I think you and
JCD covered this maybe a year or two ago, that
this is going to happen. All these stores where you
see the electronic tags as you're walking down the aisle.
Yeah, they'll change. Right. Your cell phone with you, or
it's just going to be able to get your facial
recognition as you walk into the store, but it's going
to follow you around. And as I walk down the
aisle, I'm going to get one price. You're going to
get another one because, well, you know, they can. Baby.
You know, the backlash will come. The white hats will
do stuff. Somebody's got to come up with a jamming
device you can just pin to your lapel for all
this stuff, for the facial recognition. Somebody's got to be
doing that, don't they? Yeah, you just have to do
like the Donnie's thing. Just have the thing coming from
your cell phone that says, I'm a poor podcaster, so
you get to pay the lowest price as possible. Oh,
this guy's a podcaster. Just stick a third eye in
the middle of your forehead. We've already confirmed this works.
for facial recognition and leave your phone at home. That's
it. Don't take anything. Good advice. So what else you
guys got going on? I got one here from talk
about the rise of the left. Everybody hip to this
Francesca Hong out there in Wisconsin? Uh-huh. I don't know
about her. No. Oh, yeah. She's running for governor. And
she has quite a background of complete nervous breakdown, overdosing
on SSRIs. Right. Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah. And you
can hear somebody's interviewing her in the street. And it's
quite interesting. It's just a funny take. What she says
is quite laughable. Did your opinion change then on defunding
the police? That I think that people can evolve, that
I am going to be a sensible and practical government
and governor that is going to make sure that public
safety is a priority. So you evolved on that? Thank
you. I think that what my values are are where
some of my beliefs are as well. But where my
values are is in making sure that public safety is
for everyone, that everyone has access to it. And I
think that what I believed in the past, that can
evolve. But I still know that I cannot defund police
as governor. And what I want to do is making
sure that we're fully funding and investing in the community
programs that we know actually work, that data shows builds
community safety. And again, the belief that I have, the
values that I hold, is that everyone has a right
to feel safe and be safe. - Now she sounds
like an AI. Doesn't she? But she's not. She's real.
Notice everyone has a right to feel safe. I don't
know how you calibrate that, but there must be a
way. So you hear her continue, and it gets even
better the way she dodges the question about defunding the
police and actually flips it. Have a listen. I just
want to put a fine point on it. You said
your views can evolve. Have your views actually evolved on
defunding the police? We had a police shooting in my
hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Stop. Stop. So this isn't a
citizen shooting. This is a policeman shooting a citizen. She
flips the whole script. Dana, how about that? Yeah, the
problem is too many police officers are getting shot, so
we should defund them. Is that the take on that?
Wisconsin. It's actually the third one to happen on Willie
Street, which is in my district. And it's difficult for
me to think about what I would say to a
mother who has lost their children to police violence. But
I know that we can change these systems that must
be changed. There are folks who work in prisons. They
have some of the highest suicide rates for any employment
that we need to make sure that every incarcerated person
can live a life of dignity.
99% of incarcerated folks in our state will be going
into community, and we have to lower those recidivism rates.
Hold on a second. I've got to ask the Book
of Knowledge about this. Prison workers, is that what she
said? Prison workers have the highest suicide rate? No, the
incarcerated people, the prisoners, have the highest suicide rate. suicide
rate amongst all citizens. book of knowledge. I haven't fired
this puppy up in weeks. All right, here we go.
According to the book of knowledge, suicide rates among prisoners
are dramatically elevated. In high-income countries, male prisoners take their
own lives at common three to eight times. The rate
of the general population, while female prisoners suffer a death
more than ten times, the rate, in America specifically, jails
are the most dire. The suicide rate there is nearly
three times higher than in prisons or the general public,
the leading cause of death behind bars. Thus, it has
been written. So being in prison sucks. Is that the
end? It's not great, for sure. I mean, is it
incorrect? Staying corrected on that. All right, we'll continue with
this woman. Probably the quick one of her two with
Caitlin Collins. And this was great because she wasn't finished
yet, I think. She had more to say. To invest
in mental health resources, in tackling the opioid epidemic. We
can achieve public safety. Okay. I didn't hear a yes
or a no there We can believe the public say
we can get it. I thought trans kids were you
know? Yeah, they were the ones killing themselves with the
book of knowledge guy didn't say it was the highest
suicide No, he didn't know it was kind of a
kind of a hazy answer again Don't don't call him
book of knowledge guy. He gets a phone. What's his
name? I'm sorry book of knowledge just the book of
knowledge I have to give you the book of now
I got to give you the keys to the book
of knowledge you need that you desperately need it's an
important part of the show man people like hey man
can i get access to that you can sell it
there's another exit strategy the subscription only 99.99 a month
yes sadly the only person with the right exit strategy
was john c devorek what a way to go yeah
the show lights out boom done and i'm telling you
that uh message that you had gotten from the uh
very complimentary lady Colorado talking about the cat's cradle I
looked that up and I was like that's freaking weird
man oh yeah yeah oh I don't have that near
me I what was it again it was a celestial
thing that only happened with these four planets like every
10,000 years right and it represents like a new thing
incoming an old thing outgoing and the fact that it
happened on the day we both had a grandchild and
JCD pass away was like the coincidences is It was
a little hard to ignore. Like I said, I don't
believe that second half of show stuff most of the
time, but that was a little crazy. But it's something
that happens once every 10,000 years. Well, there's only one
great show once every 10,000 years. That's true. I kind
of like doing the show with you guys. It kind
of like takes two to replace JCD. That's not bad.
That's true. Larry can be that grumpy, and I've got
more of the tech, so it all kind of... There
we go. Grumpy and tech. There's the names. Yeah. But
this is Caitlin Collins with that same, and I'm really
hoping this woman does not become governor of Wisconsin, except
for the fact that it would definitely be good for
the show. You know, you've talked about your past positions
that he keeps highlighting and, you know, obviously likely would
continue to do so before November, should you win. One
thing that they brought up as well was a post
from you in 2021 where you said Americans should cancel
Thanksgiving, should have done this in 1621. The post has
been deleted. Republicans have been highlighting it. Do you still
believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled? I'm a chef and
one of the first meals that I made. Can you
believe that? I'm a chef. That's the first words out
of her mouth after, should we get rid of Thanksgiving?
Well, I'm a chef. I'm a chef, yes. That was
for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving
meal. Now, I always think my hospitality background and owning
a restaurant for seven, eight years, that bringing folks around
the table to share conversation and build community is always
a good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's
incredibly painful for many people in our communities. Have you
ever heard that before? Incredibly painful. You know what the
pain would be? Just having to sit next to her
at any meal. That would be painful. I mean, I
understand why people get melancholy around a lot of holidays
or people's birthdays and all that, but it's like Thanksgiving?
No, I don't really... Feel much negativity around it. think
there I wanted to make sure that people understood that
there are multiple views but views can evolve and the
position that I'm running for right now and I think
my background as a chef will actually help me become
a better governor that's able to bring more people. Right
on. Yes chef. We're going to bring everybody together and
get rid of Thanksgiving though so that's definitely perfect. Perfect.
Why not right? Hey I want to um do you
mind if I do the donations here for a second
because there's not a lot and that is obviously disappointing,
but I understand people. You know, the one thing that
really... stuck out. I have thousands of emails. then I've
I'm trying to think I don't know if I can
even reply to everybody I'd like to. Just thousands of
lovely notes. I got one death threat, which is pretty
interesting. Whoa. Oh, yeah, like a real one. Like, you
traitor, I'm coming to kill you. And you're a dead
man. I'm like, okay, I live in Texas. You have
a few guns in the house. I've never gotten a
death threat, I don't think ever in my life. That's
the first time. But a lot of people, and we
saw it in the donations of the two memorial shows
we did. People say, I feel so horrible because I
never donated. I never don't. That was a laugh. Telled
you that I never, I never donated. And now I'm
donating, but I feel horrible about it. And this is
not what John and I always talked about. It's like.
You want to support something because things go away. And
in this case, it's not that we didn't, you know,
the show didn't change because you didn't donate. But don't
feel, you don't, I mean, come on. Yeah. Doesn't that
tell you something? Like, you've got to support. I mean,
I have a little system. calendar reminder at the beginning
of each month that says here's the open source stuff
you're using like FFmpeg. remember to donate to them. I
do. You know, 50 bucks. Like, okay, here you go.
Because I use you a lot and I love all
the volunteers who are working on the FFM peg to
make it great. And they're under incredible strain now because,
you know, all these AI systems are filing bug reports
everywhere. But, you know, you got to do it. And
you know what it is. You give something away, it
comes back tenfold. I can tell you that's really true.
Yeah. Use it as positive reinforcement. You still have time
for the you like to support them. Yes. Yeah. It's
not all that different from neglecting to vote. Exactly. It's
two sides of the same coin, brother. Vote and support
no agenda. It's the exact same thing. Hey, we want
to kick it off with our first executive producer. And
I will read this because I love that the North
Idaho Sanity Brigade from Post Falls, Idaho came in with
$588.88. That's a JCD donation if you ever saw one.
with in the morning larin and dairy yeah so we've
had multiple different combinations and usually they were just what
the jcd said at some point i love it i
love it i love it a few benjamins in a
row of eights in honor of john c devorah crowdfunded
with love by the north idaho sanity brigade we say
benjamins advisedly as it is a ben franklin quote that
encapsulates it all those who would give up essential liberty
to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety. Amen. Thanks to you both for keeping NO Agenda
on the air while the Currys and Dvoraks navigate these
couple of weeks and beyond. It will be exciting to
stay on this ride as we round the bend of
whatever's coming next. In the meantime, we've been plugging away
with our hyper-local version of NO Agenda for the state
of Idaho, the NO ID podcast, which I've heard is
quite good. If you live in Idaho or eastern Washington
and you're curious what this format sounds like when it's
tailored for a specific region, check us out at noidshow.com.
Godspeed, Gitmo Nation, Sir Scott the Jew, and the North
Idaho Sanity Brigade. I'll do all of these because it's
a very short list. Zadok Brown, Parts Unknown, $210.60. We
thank you, and of course. There she is, the rock.
And she's from Castle Rock, Colorado. Linda Lupatkin. Or as
Larry would say, Linda Lupitkin. Did I say that? Have
you ever listened to the show, Larry? Ever? I can't
believe I did that. There were some people asking that.
I love that. Especially like, these guys have never listened
to the show. Never listened to the show. Never once.
You're never going to live it down, bro. Never live
it down. But I'll tell you what I did. I
bought a much bigger monitor so I can see better.
Oh, that helps. Yes. Because the spreadsheet, you've noticed what
John was always complaining about. The spreadsheet blows out. Yes.
I know. And if I can just let you know,
I did vibe code already a Apple app. that I
drag the spreadsheet in and it just spits it out
in plain text. That's the way to do it, man.
Larry, you seem like a, not a Mac guy, are
you like Commodore 64 guy? I would be if I
knew how to work that. I've always been, you know
what, my first computer was a Mac and then I
thought, gee, this isn't that great. I just didn't. And
I forget what the hell the second one was. I
haven't had a bunch of them since then. And now
I have a little lay of Lenovo. That's so, you
know, I'm not a Mac guy. Yeah, the ThinkPad. Lenovo
ThinkPad? Yeah. Yeah, those are good. I got one of
those. Except I run Omarchi on it like a real
man. Well, I'll have to. Linda Lepatkin comes in with
$200 and she wants Jobs Karma and says, for a
competitive edge with a resume that gets results, go to
ImageMakersInc.com. executives turn their experience into a clear story of
leadership results and impact. I may need your services soon,
Linda. Remember, that's Image Makers Inc. with a K. Work
with Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning
resumes. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
You got karma. And that is our executive and associate
executive producers. You will be credited, of course, and these
credits are actual Hollywood credits. Larry knows all about it.
You've got some Hollywood credits, don't you, Larry? I do.
I do. I created and co-produced a primetime series for
CBS. What? What was that? Can you tell us? Sure.
It was a reality show. It was called Wickedly Perfect.
The original title was Finding Martha. And it kind of
popped. I was actually on my way the next day
to make a pitch somewhere. And my wife and I
were watching television and Martha Stewart had just been jailed.
Oh, I remember that. Sure. Yeah. And so she said,
man, that'd make a hell of a show. And I
said, you know, you're right. So I spent all night
writing the pitch and the show Bible and everything. And
the next day, boom, it was bought. Wow. Were you
a showrunner? I was not the showrunner. No, not the
showrunner. created by credit. Created by credit and some nice
checks that didn't bounce. And the funny part was, what
they did was, though, they kind of, I wanted it
to be really crazy with like some ghetto fabulous chick
like Missy Elliott or whatever at the helm. And remember,
CBS is about C and D counties, you know? Yeah.
And so they sort of watered it down a lot.
And then they changed the title because apparently Les Moonves
says, yeah, I like this. I like this. Finding Martha
Good. And then the lawyers got in the room and
said, No, no, no, we can't do that. We might
not want to do this. And so it became Wickedly
Perfect. But it was fun. Fun ride. So executive producer
and associate executive producer credits for these three people. I
know we can do better than that, please. And I
want people to know that Larry and Darren are getting
paid for what they're doing. So they participate in the
value for value. We never just ask them to do
it for free. They didn't ask for anything. I said,
no, that's not how it's going to work. So you
are supporting their work while they are here as well.
And we thank you. For as long as they're here.
And you never know how long they'll be here. I'm
kind of feeling comfortable with you boys, to be honest
about it. Brandon Walters, St. Cloud, Florida, 100. Thank you.

So two going on this weekend there. And also on
Sunday, the AmsterdamJCD Memory 6.30 at Bar Restaurant Lely in
Amsterdam. Thank you. Still to come in the month of
August, this is a crazy list. Arkansas on the 23rd,
the 29th, Rhode Island, and also on the 29th, Zurich,
Switzerland. Many, many, many more can be. Oh, I have
the 30th. There's still, wait, there's more. Chester Springs, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island. That's on the 30th. It's out of sequence.
Rhode Island on the 29th. Chester Springs, Nebraska on the
30th. And then we're into September, October, November. It just
keeps on going. No agenda meetups. I hope we'll never
stop. I think that they're a great legacy of the
show. You can still bring heads on stick. But we
expect meetup reports and this should be just a whole
bunch of them. Send them to me, adam.currie.com and just
record it on your phone. I'll edit them all. Don't
worry about it. If you can edit it, that's even
better. Try and do your best, actually, with pre-editing. It
really does help now that I think about it. Don't
you have an AI for that yet? Come on. I
probably could set that up now that I think about
it. And we'll see if I can get all of
those done by Sunday, otherwise Thursday. And just thank you
all for organizing this. The Dvorak family and I and
Horace, we all talked about there's a memorial for him
in Oakland. thing. There's something John used to do whenever
he went into a hotel lobby or a bar anywhere.
And if there was a piano player, he would always
ask the piano player to play Stairway to Heaven. So
there's going to be a piano player playing Stairway to
Heaven. is kind of the sick humor of the Dvoraks.
You got to love them for that. Uh, where was
I? Um... Whatever I was saying. We were talking about
we wanted to have a community meetup. It's so complicated.
We couldn't even ever get a big meetup together. We
talked about the Sphere and Vegas and all kinds of
venues where people could get to easily. This is the
way I expected NOAA Gena Nation to go. Do it
locally. Do it with your people. And don't let it
be the last time. This should be just the beginning,
just the first of many, more no agenda meetups go
to no agenda meetups.com you can find the entire list
thank you sir daniel for all the work that you
have done and if you can't find one near you
it's easy to start one yourself no agenda meetups.com sometimes

Triggered or held to blame But it feels the same
Can I drop off here? Because I got a guy
coming here to pick up my dog at 3.30 exactly.
And I got to make sure that my, you know,
I got to kiss my dog goodbye because I love
my dog. Sounds good. And I'll talk to you guys
Sunday. Thank you. Thank you, Adam. No, thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. Thank you. Treat these guys with respect.
They're awesome. Love you mean it. No homo. Exactly. That's
the way to leave a show right there. That's perfect.
You don't top that. And yeah, all those meetups, I
can't wait to hear those meetup reports. It should be
entertaining. The JCD stories, we want to hear them. But
yeah, just do a little editing. It's nice. I took
my portable Zoom recorder out to our meetup and it
makes it a lot easier. But if it's on a
phone. you can still make it sound. Sure. Those zooms
are great. I got one of those. It's a nice
unit. And I do have, we have to start getting
you to bring some ISOs as well for the end
of show. But I do have a couple that were
sent in here, including this one, because in honor, JCD
loved the. the text-to-speech Trump and Obama, so... They are
shrinking the amygdalas. DONATE Kind of a long pause in
there. It was an okay Trump, though. It was a
very good Trump, I thought. And this one from the
AI Menu Bot. Sorry, did I make a mistake? Try
saying add or remove. Which, I mean, that's the world
that you now are going to be living in. Anytime
you want to try to go and order a, you
know, a Frosty or something, that's what you're going to
get. Except they sound much less synthetic than she did,
I've got to say. There's some that are getting better,
some that are getting worse. But I think for today's
show, I want to honor the late, great J.C.D. and
try this one. Oh, you cheap bastard. I mean, I
think that. That's good. I think that pretty much is.
Donate, donate. I think it was my buddy Noberay. always
trolling along when we were doing Planet Rage. Like, you
gotta complain about the donations otherwise. You're not doing JCD
rights? Maybe. Maybe he's got a little bit of a
point there. I'm not going to say. That he is
wrong. And, oh, what we didn't do earlier either was
the troll count. Right now, 733 with a peak of
850. And, yeah, they ran. Troll count. People, they're not
happy unless they hear the drops. That's for darn sure.
Did you have anything else that you wanted to cover
on today's show? I think that kicks it in the
head, Darren. Wait, is that a good kick in the
head or is that a... That is a recognition of
a New York talk radio legend named Bob Grant. He
used to end every show like that. That kicks it
in the head for another day. Well, that makes sense.
So that is going to do it for another edition
of the Best Damn Podcast in the Universe coming up
next on the Mighty No Agenda stream. The MMO show.
You always wonder what that MMO stands for. The Millennial
Media Offensive. Episode number 230. We have some end of
show mixes coming up. from, let's see, oh, the great
Sir Chris Wilson. And now if I don't say it's
the great big Steve Stones, he's not going to be...
So we got a couple of those, which is good.
We didn't have one last time, and I had to
play the Wind of Oryx chair, gently squeaks, and you
know. There's only so much of that that people can
handle. So coming to you from just outside of Chiraq,
right here in FEMA Region Number 5, in the morning,
everybody, I am Darren O'Neill. And from the pretentious Connecticut
shore, I'm Larry Blydener. We will be back here on
Sunday. Remember us at NoAgendaDonations.com. Until then, hooey, hooey. Thank
you for your courage. Adios, mofos and such. Donate. What
more do you need to know? Do it. You see
that? Yeah? That's shit. And this? Shinola. Shit. Shinola. Son,
you're gonna be alrighty, alrighty. You can't even stop saying
bullshit. Bull crap. Bull crap. You're doing good so far.
We used to laugh at that shit. Help, I've fallen,
I can't get up. Now it's like... You said it
way too much. I'm sorry. Cut it back. I can't
help myself. - He's crying. - Oh, it's horrible. No,
I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it.
I'm going to say it. I would say that I
was going to say it and say it, but I'm
not going to.
I have to say it. That's bullshit. It's unreal you
said bullshit again. You know, that's a difference between you
and me. I asked you to stop saying shit. Hey,
no! Bullshit Bull crap incredible momentum of AI and robots.
And at times I sort of think, well, perhaps, you
know, even if there was a stop button, we probably
shouldn't press it. Imagine there's no Elon. It's easy. If
you try X goes back to being Twitter No need
