Adam Curry, John C.
DeVora.
It's Thursday, June 26, 2025.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media
Assassination Episode 1776.
This is no agenda.
Making a big splash!
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
60 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where this is
a shout-out to the University of Wisconsin
River Falls Women's Hockey Team.
I'm John C.
DeVora.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Is this field hockey or ice hockey?
Ice hockey, the real deal.
Oh, no, I don't like field hockey.
Back-to-back national champions, this is a
little school.
Yeah, but women's field hockey, that's the business.
Well, you just like them because they're wearing
tight butt things.
Just like that, little butts.
I think that is a spectator sport that
is undervalued.
Yeah, so is stripping.
No, it's not the same.
These are athletes, man.
You don't think a pole dancer is not
an athlete?
Hold on a second.
You're telling me that women who go to
a soccer match, that they're not looking at
how fit the boys are?
Of course they are.
That's why I'd say at least 30, maybe
40 percent of the women watch soccer.
They do?
Oh, you saw Ted Lasso.
I've been to soccer games and in the
big stadium in Brazil.
You're not a woman.
I know.
I've been to the games, and I've seen
no women there.
They don't show up.
Yes, they do.
They do.
That's why they all want to be a
WAG.
What?
A WAG.
We know what a WAG is.
Wives and girlfriends.
No, I have no idea what a WAG
is.
Wives and girlfriends.
That's a WAG.
Wives and girlfriends of the footballers.
Those are WAGs.
You get a reality show, and in the
UK you get on page three.
It's a big deal.
They all love them.
All the women's real hockey, which is ice
hockey.
That's not real hockey.
It is.
Adam at curry.com.
Okay, fine.
Send him your hate.
Let me set the tone.
This is something that I would usually share
with the middle schoolers here in Fredericksburg.
Yes, this is how it goes in mainstream
media.
And this just in.
We are now hearing from Iran's supreme leader
for the first time since the fragile ceasefire
between Israel and Iran was announced.
The fragile ceasefire.
And now a fragile ceasefire.
Well, that was President Trump speaking earlier on
the fragile Israel-Iran ceasefire.
Claiming he has ended the war amid a
fragile ceasefire.
Now, meantime, this fragile ceasefire.
The fragile ceasefire.
A ceasefire.
And it is incredibly fragile.
A fragile ceasefire.
A very fragile ceasefire.
Yeah, there is currently a ceasefire between Israel
and Iran, but it is fragile.
Yeah, I mean, the ceasefire is holding, but
it's as fragile as Tim Wall's, you know,
courage.
It's a fragile ceasefire.
Fragile.
Very fragile ceasefire.
I like that super clip.
Super cut.
But the question is why, what made fragile,
what was the point of making fragile the
key word here?
To just put everybody on edge.
To keep watching.
Because what fun is a war that just
ended?
You got to keep people watching.
Oh, it's fragile.
And it's also anti-Trump.
Of course.
It could break any moment.
Well, Trump is ratings bonanza all the time.
It could break.
When you think fragile, you think a fine
bone china cup.
And what would draw that conclusion that it
was fragile?
There hasn't been like saber rattling on either
side of the ceasefire.
So why is it deemed fragile?
Again, for one reason, one reason only.
For ratings.
So you're telling me.
Gambling?
Yes.
Long pause.
That was a good one.
I even had to look at the interfaces.
Did I lose them?
Did I lose them again?
That was a good one.
Okay.
It's been a fantastic week.
I've been glued to the screens, the quad,
all the screens, because such a big happening.
You could have 16 screens using the Google
system.
No, you can only do four.
You can do 16.
Yeah, four, but you have four screens.
Wow.
Okay.
So you have four in each.
Yeah, I could if I want to go
nuts.
The funniest, it's always when boom.
Just a quick story.
So there's Mike Kaplan, the guy who did
Coral Draw.
He's a Canadian.
He's the CEO of Coral at the time.
And he says, he's talking in a little
group.
He says, yeah.
And somebody says, oh, you know, Mike has
like 16 TV screens on the one wall
of his office.
And I said, well, what for?
He says, you never know.
I don't want to miss anything.
The best is when you have four screens
and each screen has four people in it.
It's like tunnel vision.
Like, whoa, what am I doing here?
And then all of a sudden it switches
and it's all Hagseth or it's all Trump.
It's, you know, I never have the sound
on.
It's just, it's entertaining to me.
And, oh, man, it was just, you know,
we had the big splash in the Hague
and we got to talk about that.
Because, of course, it's the country where I
grew up, not my home country, but the
country where I grew up.
I know the king and queen.
Remember, I know the king and queen.
The queen here flipped me.
We know it.
And we know what that means.
That means wag.
The best part of the week, though, was
the president dropping the F-bomb because it
was actually a well, it was like a
boomer moment.
It's actually the way you drop the F
-bomb.
You know, you won't use it, but when
you know it's going to be effective, you'll
just whip it out.
Oh, yeah.
When it's effective, I'll whip it out.
So, of course, everyone only watched, like, 22
seconds and, oh, he posted, blah, blah, blah.
But you have to kind of hear the
full, the full, well, not the full.
It was pretty, yeah, you had to, you
should, the whole clip is, it's good.
It's very educational.
I have a little bit more, you know,
I cut out all the journalists.
Good.
And I will say that when he says,
you know what I mean to the reporter
after he drops the F-bomb, that was
not aimed at the reporter at all.
A lot of people don't get that.
It was no.
I want to play this.
It's audible enough.
Of course, you hear the whir of Marine
One in the background.
And I cut out the reporters just so
you could hear.
It was the same question over and over
again.
And he answers it kind of the same
way.
But I don't think many people heard this.
I don't think so.
But I'm not happy that Israel is going
out now.
There was one rocket that I guess was
fired overboard.
It was after and it missed its target.
These guys got to calm down.
Plenty of things I saw yesterday.
I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded
right after we made the deal.
They didn't have to unload.
And I didn't like the fact that the
retaliation was very strong.
But in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot.
And now I hear Israel just went out
because they felt it was violated by one
rocket that didn't land anywhere.
That's not what we want, I'll tell you.
And I'm telling you, I'm not happy about
that, Israel, either.
All I do is play both sides.
We have to have Israel calm down because
they went on a mission this morning.
I got to get Israel to calm down
now.
They both violated it.
I'm not sure they did it intentionally.
They couldn't rein people back.
I don't like the fact that Israel went
out this morning at all.
And I'm going to see if I can
stop it.
So as soon as I get away from
you, I'm going to see if I can
stop it, okay?
Israel, as soon as we made the deal,
they came out and they dropped a load
of bombs the likes of which I've never
seen before.
The biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel.
You know, when I say, okay, now you
have 12 hours, you don't go out in
the first hour and just drop everything you
have on them.
So I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with Iran either.
But I'm really unhappy if Israel is going
out this morning because of one rocket that
didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake,
that didn't land.
I'm not happy about that.
We basically have two countries that have been
fighting so long and so hard that they
don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Do you understand that?
Yeah.
So he was unhappy with Israel, which they
showed very little of that, actually.
You're right.
That was not shown.
I haven't heard that whole clip.
But, yes, he repeated himself over and over.
It made it very clear how he felt.
And it wasn't happy with Israel.
And it stopped.
And this, of course, flies in the face
that Israel is running us.
I'm glad you bring it up because I
did go to the podcast.
It was kind of semi-podcast and podcast.
Because I'm like, okay.
Now, I didn't clip it because he's very
long.
But Dave Smith, I have to give him
credit.
He actually got on his podcast with one
of his comedian buddies and said, do we
look like assholes?
I'm like, yeah, you kind of do.
So at least he was honest about it.
But, I mean, the shallowness of the very
successful YouTubers, I should say, because, yeah, they
have podcasts.
But they're all kind of married to the
YouTube algo.
It's just shallow and knee-jerk.
And I'm so disappointed with analysis and just
what are you thinking?
Don't you see what's going on here?
And we'll start with Tucker Carlson.
And for the second time on his show,
you're a favorite of mine, Clayton Morris, who
I guess lives in America again.
Does he?
I think from what I can tell, it's
hard to tell.
I think they still have their place in
Portugal.
But they're trying to move to Florida.
Before the lawsuits start?
I think their lawsuits may have been resolved.
You know, Florida is an interesting state, besides
having no personal income tax.
Florida is the only state where you can
be sued into oblivion.
And never lose your house.
You can't lose your house.
Right, right.
That would make sense.
So if you're going to move back.
And Florida's pleasant.
So here they are, yapping together, yapping about.
And, you know, this was the general narrative.
But the clips after this, we'll get into
it.
Because I just have to.
Because we've been talking about this for a
long time.
It's the same argument that they used in
2002.
That it's an existential threat to the United
States of America.
That Saddam Hussein is going to use intercontinental
ballistic missiles.
He's going to gather a warhead with anthrax.
He's going to shoot it into some mall
somewhere.
I don't think anyone actually ever said that.
So, you know, this is A.I. Morris
hallucinating on the job here.
So that's the fear, right?
They're playing on our fear that we are
going to be attacked by Iran.
And they don't have an intercontinental ballistic missile
to hit us.
Just don't let the facts get in the
way.
They actually don't have a nuclear warhead.
They don't have the reentry mechanism to even
make that happen.
Clayton Morris, now apparently a nuclear arms expert.
But we need to be fearful of it.
Like I don't wake up fearful of Iran
in the morning.
Maybe I'm dumb.
Maybe I'm an idiot and I should.
That should be the first thing that I
do when I wake up in the morning.
Not like the Trinidad and Tobago gang down
the street.
I should be more worried about Iran is
going to attack me.
And by the way, why would they attack
us?
I know.
Why aren't they attacking Sweden right now?
If they hate our freedoms, why aren't they
attacking Norway right now?
Why would they attack us?
If we get the hell out of there,
maybe we wouldn't have these problems.
If we wouldn't build these bases in their
backyard.
This is the general narrative.
Like we are the big bully and we've
been this way and it's our fault.
And of course Trump promised we wouldn't do
that.
I think he promised to stop the forever
wars.
But people have gotten in their mind you're
not going to be like Bush somehow.
Well, hold on.
So Trump has indicated that he's a little
sick of all the bases we have all
around the world.
Yeah, of course he has.
But he's never said we're going to close
them or just bitches about it.
But the forever wars, you're right, this is
real.
You heard on the end of show mixes
he's been threatening to blow Iran to smithereens
in between presidencies during the campaign.
It's not like he hasn't ever said that
this would be an option.
So I'm not my opinion one way or
the other.
But let's just be factual.
Don't let facts stand in the way of
what you're saying, Clayton Morris.
If we wouldn't meddle in trying to decapitate
their leadership and overthrow and install a pro
-Western government and tell them to open McDonald's.
But we can't.
We seem like we're so addicted to doing
it.
And we thought under Trump that this would
be a realignment.
We're not going to do this.
This is the you'll hear this term later,
the 9-11 generation.
This is this is why they voted for
him, apparently.
And what's happening is cable news, in particular,
Fox News.
They are they think Trump is these guys
think Trump is a dummy.
You like it.
You know, Tucker likes Trump, but he's a
dummy and he's being played by cable news.
It sounds like MSNBC what they're saying here.
Well, the whole the whole game has been
to manipulate the president, of course, because he's
dumb.
And, you know, I think that's true with
any president.
I mean, that's that's the seat of power.
So, of course, a lot of people are
interested in, you know, moving it in their
direction.
I get it.
You know, it's all it's not surprising.
It's not even offensive.
It's just the way things are.
I'm just offended watching these people who I
know personally and I know for a fact
they hate Trump.
The Murdochs really hate Trump.
There's no one who hates Trump more than
the Murdochs.
I got fired in April of 2023.
In May of 2023, they asked me to
run for president against Trump.
Did you hear this?
Did you know about this?
I've never heard this before.
He I know that Trump mentioned the fact
that Murdoch told him not to run for
president when he first in 2015 because they
knew each other and he just thought it
was a dumb idea.
But I never heard of nobody.
I've never.
This is bullcrap.
And said they would back me.
Obviously, I'm not running for you.
You know, I would never get elected.
I like Trump.
The funny thing is, I actually genuinely frustrated.
I'm frustrated now.
Hold on.
I'm sorry.
You just said that.
And people buy.
I mean, they asked you to run for
president against Trump.
The Murdochs.
Yeah.
Mark said you should run for.
We'll back you.
The whole the whole thing.
The whole the whole Fox News apparatus.
Not just Fox, but, you know, Wall Street
Journal.
All right.
So then they later on, they get this.
What this would have come out.
I wouldn't.
I would think so, too.
But this is just a an appetizer for
the true leader of the MAGA schism.
The 9-11 generation leader herself, Candace Owens,
who went on Pierce Morgan, and this and
I like this because Pierce, I cut out
most, almost all of Pierce Morgan because he's
like a podcaster.
He takes him five minutes to get the
question out.
But this is.
But her opinion here.
By the way, people out there should know
that we spend most of our time doing
exactly what Adam just said, cutting out these
guys because they can't ask a simple question.
No, no, they can't.
And it's never a great question.
Never.
So this is about the MAGA schism.
And this is you'll hear.
And these are the talking points that are
not talking points, but is the narrative mainly
amongst, you know, the the the big podcasters,
the YouTubers, the people you wanted us to
deconstruct and analyze.
Thank you.
It's good to be back just in time
for World War Three.
You are implacably opposed to what both Israel
and now the United States have done here.
Why?
Because, well, first and foremost, just on the
MAGA movement level, Trump came out and he
gave us a promise that we were not
going to be involved in wars.
And I'm going back to 2015.
Why do people get so excited about Donald
Trump, who was then an unlikely candidate who
was being smeared by the media as being
Adolf Hitler?
Well, it was because he recognized that the
American people were being forgotten while we were
giving billions of unaccounted, unaccounted billions, by the
way, for these never ending wars.
And so it's one of the earliest reasons
that people got behind him and got behind
his vision.
And, you know, I'm going to disagree with
that.
I think his main topic in both cases
was illegal immigration and the border.
It was the wall in Trump one.
And Mexico is going to pay for it.
Yeah.
Well, there's that.
But it was the way he comes down
the escalator.
First thing he talks about is Mexico.
That's when they started blasting him for saying
all Mexicans are rapists, which he never said.
And all the misstatements that they credited him
with.
Yes.
And there was no talk of it.
The forever wars thing came in much later.
And so we're opposed to a regime change
because America as a country has a lot
of problems that need to be fixed here
first.
Same as Tucker and Morris there.
It's that simple.
But even when Trump talked about regime change,
I think he meant from within, as we
saw in Syria in December, where the people
themselves rise up.
And if that was to happen, why would
that be a bad thing?
So first and foremost, the idea that you
have to formally declare war on a piece
of paper in order for war to happen
is a little bit ridiculous.
I mean, he dropped bombs.
He dropped bombs in Iran.
So, yes, we are a part of this
war, whether we like it or not.
This, of course, was one day before the
fragile ceasefire.
Yes, I love the timing of some people's
obloviating, just before the whole thing stops.
As we say, this didn't age well.
Iran is now speaking and saying that they're
going to shut down the Hormuz Straits.
There's going to be impact on oil.
Why would they do that?
Good question, Piers.
You can hear her.
She's going to go hum and a hum
because she just heard something and spouts it
off.
They're going to close the Hormuz Straits.
Down the Hormuz Straits.
There's going to be impact on oil.
Why would they do that?
Why would they do that when the main
victim of doing that would be Iran?
I mean, 50% of China, of the
traffic of stuff through there, is for China,
which is one of their allies.
Don't care, not my business, the point that
I'm making here.
Oh, not my monkey, not my circus.
Okay, I don't care.
Now that you corrected me, I'm just going
to say don't care.
Don't care, not my business.
That's pretty much like, I don't know if
you have any clips.
I didn't get any clips of it.
But when Bernie Sanders went on Rogan.
Yeah, about the climate change.
Sanders did the same deflection.
He said, I never read that article.
I trust science.
It's one of their allies.
Don't care, not my business.
The point that I'm making here is that
to make the assumption that you can just
drop bombs on a country and then say,
well, you know what?
We didn't formally declare war.
It's patently ridiculous.
I think that is just patently ridiculous.
Isn't it patently false is maybe the term,
but she's using it as patently ridiculous.
And I guess she wants Congress to declare
war.
I don't know what she wants.
Yeah, but keep with it because it's going
to be clear.
You know what?
We didn't formally declare war.
It's patently ridiculous.
I think that is just patently ridiculous.
What about when he killed General Soleimani, one
of Iran's top military commanders?
Or an assassination, a strike.
And that, of course, came with some risk.
It's a little bit different to be flying
out B-6 bombers.
B-6 bombers.
This is a whole new level of bomber.
Is that a new bomber?
We haven't heard it.
It's a super stealth.
It's a little bit different to be flying
out B-6 bombers in the middle of
the night and dropping bombs at the behest
of BBNet and Yahoo, which brings me to
the second point.
There it is.
At the behest.
This is what Scott Horton says.
The term behest, I had to look it
up just to make sure.
Behest.
Noun.
An authoritative command or urgent request.
Something done or carried out at the bidding
or direction of another.
Example.
At the king's behest, the army marched to
the border.
So it's very clear what she's saying.
She's saying, Israel runs America.
The reason that America wants a regime change
in Iraq.
Yes.
I think she thinks that.
No, she does.
This is why I'm playing this.
Because I'm going to blow it apart in
a minute.
The reason that America wants a regime change
in Iran is because BBNet and Yahoo is
demanding it.
And that answers the question as to why
there is this split in the MAGA movement.
What we are seeing right now is the
infiltration of Israel first people.
The neocons.
People who have always wanted never ending wars.
And the people who have recognized that following
Israel's foreign policy initiatives has led to America
being on the decline.
And so that's where I stand.
I am with the MAGA people who grew
up.
I call us like, you know, Generation 9
-11 who were told that America was going
to be rendered safer, cleaner.
All we had to do was agree to
go to, well, ironically, war with Iraq because
of weapons of mass destruction.
It's all of the same rhetoric dating back
to 9-11.
All of the same tactics of trying to
smear people who are against this war as
supporting jihadists.
None of this is happening right now, Candace.
Not my business to infect a, to affect
a regime change in Iran.
It's simply not our business.
It doesn't impact us one way or the
other.
And we also are completely done with the
idea that there's these decades long idea that
we're doing it to spread democracy.
Another thing that was, I didn't hear anyone
saying, did the president say this is for
to spread democracy?
Nope.
No, it's always a Democrat talking point.
Exactly.
There's these decades long idea that we're doing
it to spread democracy because we believe in
international liberalism.
There was no imminent threat to the United
States when Trump made this decision to do
what he wanted.
I want to be clear here.
This was not Trump's decision.
It was Bibi Netanyahu's decision.
And that is the reason that he did
it.
And we're very aware that Israel is dictating
our foreign policy.
And we would now like that to stop.
Okay.
So we're very aware that Israel is dictating
our foreign policy.
Oh, you weak sister, you, we, and weak
brother Tucker, because this is what they all
think.
And they, they are so wrong, but that's
okay.
Wait, wait, you know, I've got not to
bring this clip in, which I think is
a good clip.
And I think about Bannon and I think
about Tucker and I think about her now.
And I think it just skewed me just
a little bit to thinking that these, all
three of these people and all the other
naysayers in that camp.
And there's a camp.
There's a camp.
They're all a bunch of Jew haters.
It's got nothing to do with who's running
who.
They just don't like Jews.
And I can see Bannon, you know, he
worked in Hollywood.
He probably worked with a bunch of obnoxious,
you know, Jewish agents, you know, that pushed
him around.
He had issues with that.
Make no mistake.
They run entertainment.
We're not denying that.
Yeah.
And they push people around and they make
your life miserable if you're not going along
with the program.
And he didn't like, I think that this
is just a bunch of antis and I
know we'll get some flack on that, but
people can, you know, I am old.
I can say what I want.
Yeah, that's right.
You can drop an F bomb.
I think there's just antisemitic.
Well, yes, because listen to this next clip.
And especially when what we're talking about is
a, what could rise to be a nuclear
war, right?
We should have done things the right way.
And he had indicated that he was going
to wait two weeks and then he didn't
wait two weeks because Bibi Netanyahu, at least
according to the Israeli press, if you believe
it said, we're not waiting two weeks.
You want this on immediately.
And, but I will say you are correct.
He's not just doing this because you'd be
Netanyahu demands it.
He's also doing it because Miriam Adelson demands
it.
$100 million.
It was very clear what she wanted.
She was clear that she wanted to annex
the West bank.
So there.
Did Miriam Adelson say she wanted to annex
the West bank?
I have no idea.
Did we miss that?
We might have.
I mean, it's possible that she's, she's a
little loopy, but this is great.
She was clear that she wanted to annex
the West bank.
So there was an imperialist plan that was
put into place.
And, and unfortunately, when you do a deal
with the devil, you're going to have to
eventually deliver the pound of flesh.
So because of a hundred million dollar donation
to the Trump campaign, he is now acting
at the behest of Bibi Netanyahu.
Bibi Netanyahu didn't want to wait two weeks.
He says, you go and bomb him now,
little, little Trump, man, you do what I
tell you.
Okay.
And Tucker and Clayton Morris, he's dumb.
He's just being psyops.
You guys are so far off.
And I will explain why after we enjoy
more of this, because there's more Jew hate
to come.
And that is what Trump is doing in
my opinion.
And more evidence of that is the facts.
When he tweeted that there could be a
Trump hotel in Gaza.
I mean, that was truly, in my opinion,
the most inhumane thing he's ever tweeted.
I think what he was doing there was
pretty clear.
He's saying he wants a better life for
Palestinian people, a life where they have beaches.
Well, when you pair that with Jared Kushner
and Jared Kushner's private equity firm and their
ties to what's happening in Israel and Jared
Kushner being on camera.
On camera.
October 7th saying, wow, that property could be
worth a lot of money.
It makes me a little bit uncomfortable.
It makes Americans a little bit uncomfortable.
Now you've asked me.
That's so out of context, but I love
it.
Like, yeah, yeah, the Jew was right there.
He was ready to take that land and
a valuable property.
To come onto your show to explain to
you how the now very fractured Magma movement
is feeling.
And I'm telling you that, right?
And by the way, we shouldn't even call
this a schism because trying to dress this
up and delude us into believing that the
Magga movement, it is what has Meghan McCain
cheering.
John Bolton cheering.
Has Mark Levin cheering.
The literal faces of the Never Trump movement
are saying this is real Magga.
Yeah, we're not going to be that delusional.
You're on the same side as Alexandria Ocasio
-Cortez.
How do you feel about that?
You're asking about the Magga movement.
The Magga movement has always been a movement
that explicitly did not want to keep involving
our sons and daughters in the Middle East.
So we have not changed that position.
No, no.
Okay, hold on.
So she thinks that Bolton was in the
Magga movement?
No, she says that Bolton is now saying
this is the real Magga movement.
No, I understand that.
But the way she put it, because when
he calls out the other person, who he
just said.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Oh, yeah.
Well, she's not Magga.
Bolton was never Magga either.
No, no.
So just convenient use of taking a square
peg, shoving it in that damn ground.
Last clip of Candace, and then I'll blow
this apart for them.
Okay, but you wouldn't disagree, presumably, that Iran
has been the main sponsor of terrorism in
the Middle East through the Houthis, through Hezbollah,
through Hamas.
I mean, that's widely accepted and recognized.
They've done it.
I don't think it's widely accepted.
No, that's just kind of...
Israel has been a terrorist state, okay?
Israel right now is imparting a genocide and
a holocaust on the Gazan people.
So I'm really over this idea, like somehow
Israel has the moral high ground and we
have to get behind them.
I didn't say that.
Because we've got to go after the bad
guys.
I wasn't saying that.
We have.
Hang on, hang on.
We can come to Gaza, where I think
we'll reach agreement about what Israel's government's been
doing there in the last few months.
But it's relevant.
If you're going to call Iranians terrorists, if
they right now had an open concentration camp
where they were mass killing their own people,
we would all be saying this is ridiculous.
So it's rich to me that people are
concerned about Iran having nukes.
But I'm concerned about Israel, who won't even
admit that they have nukes.
Well, at the same time, they are executing
a genocide and a holocaust in Gaza that
the world is watching.
So who's the bigger terrorist is the question
today.
I would say as an American that if
we're going to get behind a regime change,
it should be in Israel first.
So that would be my position.
I think the position of a lot of
people who are waking up to the fact
that Zionism has brought us nothing but peace
in America.
Can you name one positive thing that Zionists
have contributed to America?
There you go.
It's about the Zionists.
It's about the Jews.
I got it, Candace.
But you're wrong.
And here's Brian Berletic.
Brian Berletic, former U.S. Marine.
He is actually the guy who initially uncovered
the Leave it to Bebe memo.
He doesn't like any American hegemony.
But he brings up exactly what is going
on, exactly what we've been talking about, the
multipolar world.
And I think it's not nice and it's
not great, but I would rather America be
the big dog than be at the behest
of China because that is truly...
Best price.
The best price.
You pay now.
And that's racist, but it's true.
This is exactly what you don't want.
And this guy explains it in a short
clip.
We see the growing multipolar world taking shape.
We can see China rising exponentially.
We can see Russian and Chinese military capabilities
closing that gap, reducing the superiority of American
military power.
They're rushing through this because next year, two
years from now, we watched Iran join BRICS.
We watched rail lines be built between China
and Iran, military partnerships beginning to form between
Iran and Russia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
The world sees what the United States is
doing, what it's trying to do to reassert
power.
They are reacting and there is momentum to
that and the U.S. is desperately trying
to break it.
And so whether the narrative is there or
not, whether it's extremely risky or not, they
feel as if it's better to attempt this
now than later.
We can see the way they designed this
conflict.
It is Israel in the line of fire.
Everybody tells me that Israel is the master,
America is the puppet, but the U.S.
used Israel to provoke this, take responsibility for
it, and absorbed the brunt of the retaliation
from it.
And it is a replay of what the
U.S. has done to Russia through Ukraine.
And at the same time they're doing this,
they are rushing to create a similar dynamic
in Asia Pacific against China.
Exactly.
That's all that it's about.
Not only that, but it's so obvious that
who is getting beat up.
It's not us.
No.
The Israelis are getting their shit pounded out
of them.
But John, but AIPAC, AIPAC has control.
They've got, what's that in your mouth, pictures
of everybody.
They control our policy.
They control our politicians.
It's unbelievable to me that the obvious, I
was going to use the word obvious.
Obviousity.
Which I've used too many times on this
show.
But it's so obvious that this is what
exactly, what he said.
Yeah.
It's exactly right.
It doesn't make any sense any other way.
Anybody who thinks otherwise is, they're either brainwashed,
foolish, or they just hate Jews.
So here is Thomas Massey on Theo Vaughn's
podcast.
You asked, we're doing it.
And he will explain lobbying, and in particular,
our favorite lobby.
There's no big, giant Great Britain lobby.
There's no Australian lobby.
There's no German lobby.
Oh, the other countries don't have them.
No, no, not like this.
This is singular.
This is unique.
I mean, if you're an ally, why wouldn't
we work?
Hold on, let me play this.
I'm sorry.
I meant to play this one first.
Two kinds of lobbying groups.
There's access lobbying.
That's where they're all your friends.
They're never mean to you.
Even if they don't like you, they'll buy
you a steak dinner, and they'll try to
get you to hear out their point of
view.
And they figure, as long as I can
get in that person's office, I'm doing well
for the people I'm lobbying for.
But then there are confrontational lobbyists like AIPAC.
And AIPAC has transitioned into a confrontational lobbying
group where if you don't do what they
want, they come after you.
Wow.
What does it look like?
They spent $400,000 against me in my
last election.
And they are basically advertising themselves as just
all things Israel.
They are lobbying for more money to go
to Israel, which all the money we give
to Israel is military money.
So they are basically lobbyists for the military
-industrial complex.
Oh, what?
What?
You're telling me AIPAC is lobbying for the
military-industrial complex?
Oh, no.
But the Jews, the Jews.
So he can't put two and two together.
You know, Thomas Massey, I've taken a— No,
wait.
Listen to the second clip because he does—
I'll complain later.
He puts it together here perfectly because the
narrative is we're giving billions of dollars to
Israel.
We're doing it at the behest of Bibi
Netanyahu.
Listen very carefully about this military-industrial complex
and the dollars we send.
There's no big giant Great Britain lobby.
There's no Australian lobby.
There's no German lobby.
Oh, the other countries don't have them.
No, no, not like this.
This is singular.
This is unique.
I mean if you're an ally, why wouldn't
we work with you?
Why do you have to convince us that
you're our ally?
Why do you have to basically go into
every congressional office and convince them?
And it's because they want to keep the
money flowing.
And they've got a good return on their
investment.
I mean we send more foreign aid to
Israel than to any other country.
Yeah.
They're like 10 million people or something.
Yeah, I think this year— Tennessee—I don't know
the population in Tennessee, but it's probably about
on that order.
Yeah, I think this year they said we
spent like $12 billion.
But that's not actual dollars.
It's in military aid, right?
Yeah, well, it's dollars that comes out of
the Treasury.
Yeah, but it's not like we give them—it's
a gift certificate that's redeemable at Lockheed Martin
and your local Raytheon.
OK, got it.
Exactly.
You can't just go spend it on whatever.
It's a gift card from Raytheon.
It's bombs for the aircraft carrier that we've
got sitting there.
It's so obvious.
All those bombs that were dropped on Iran,
who made those bombs?
Yes.
And then they bitch every once in a
while Israel wants to do its own thing.
If they ran us, they would get what
they wanted when they said, where's our 2
,000-pound bombs?
Oh, we can't give you those because you're
already bombing Gaza to an extreme.
So no 2,000-pound bombs for you.
If they're running us, they'd get those 2
,000-pound bombs they never got.
Exactly.
And so this leads into— But before you
do that, Massey.
Yeah, Massey, sure.
So this guy, which you have to admire
him because he's very honest and straightforward about
how he feels, and he's an impediment to
the Republican Party and he's an impediment to
Trump's ideas.
He's just an impediment.
And he thinks he's so smart about it,
and he has these little comments, and sure,
okay, AIPAC spent $400 million, they probably did
because they like it, but it was the
military-industrial complex, not AIPAC and not the
Jews, trying to get him out of there
because he's an impediment.
And he thinks he's so smart.
But I have to say, and he is
not a dummy, but he's too smart.
He doesn't even want to play the game.
So the military-industrial complex, and a lot
coming out of them, all kinds of interesting
messaging, but really what this NATO summit was
about, and then we'll get into—you have some
clips, I have some clips as well.
This was the close.
This was the big close.
This is when you bring in the CEO
of the company who's going to close the
deal for trillions of dollars.
And here is his head sales guy, Mark
Rutte, making the big splash.
He's sitting there with all the G7— By
the way, you know, Trump almost fell asleep
a couple of times because Rutte was overdoing
it.
Too much, too much, too much.
He was going off the deep end about
how great Trump was, and Trump could normally,
like, glows a little bit when that happens.
It was too much.
But he was like, oh, brother, you're overselling,
dude.
Here it is.
For too long, one ally, the United States,
carried too much of the burden of that
commitment, and that changes today.
President Trump, dear Donald, you made this change
possible.
Your leadership on this has already produced $1
trillion in extra spending from European allies since
2016.
And the decisions today will produce trillions more
for our common defense to make us stronger
and fairer by equalizing spending between America and
America's allies.
Now, I'm an American.
I'm Boomer adjacent.
But I'm like, yeah, good job.
That trillions of dollars is for us, because
they're all— and they've convinced themselves that Russia's
going to attack within five years.
It was so—this whole thing was so outrageous
that even Queen Ursula— there were defense contractors
all over this thing.
Here's the queen, Ursula— not the queen of
the Netherlands, the queen of Europe, talking to
them.
You're adapting to the new reality of a
full-scale war right here on European soil.
And just like your industry, all of Europe
is facing a changing international landscape.
Your industry is the war industry.
But in recent months, Europe has taken action.
Action that seemed unthinkable just a year ago.
We set up the Rearm Europe plan to
mobilize indeed 650 billion euros in defense investment
over the next four years.
We must build more bridges between civilian and
military.
We know that Russia will be capable of
testing our mutual defense commitments within the next
five years.
I thank you for this opportunity to engage
with you.
Long live Europe, and thank you very much.
Long live Europe!
She is the best.
So here's the—and then I'll stop.
Here's the controversial daddy statement.
They're not going to be fighting each other.
They've had it.
They've had a big fight, like two kids
in a schoolyard.
You know, they fight like hell.
You can't stop them.
Let them fight for about two, three minutes,
then it's easier to stop them.
And then daddy has to sometimes use strong
language.
You have to use strong language.
Every once in a while you have to
use a certain word.
OK, I just need to explain.
This is a very Dutch thing that he
said, that people always accuse the Dutch of
being rude.
This is a different version of it.
They're very direct.
And in Dutch culture, in parlance, it's not—you
would have, hey, then papa moet even komen.
You'd say it like that.
Oh, daddy has to come and fix stuff.
And it just comes out, and it made
everyone like, oh, you're just sucking up to
him.
Do you have to do that?
Because otherwise he gets mad.
Thank you.
Deborah Haynes from Sky News.
Hi.
Hello.
The language that you have used when talking
to Donald Trump has been notable because of
its flattery.
Today you called him daddy, and you sent
a text— That's not—see, I love that.
You called him daddy today.
That's not exactly what happens.
No, he didn't call him daddy at all.
He said he just was—he was referring to
the two kids fighting and somebody breaking up
the fight.
And Ruta said, yeah, daddy has to come
in and break up the fight.
Yeah, he didn't say, Trump, you're daddy.
That's exactly what— But of course what was
cool about the whole thing was that Trump
was funny.
Yes.
And at one point there was another—somebody brought
this up at some other press conference where
behind Trump was Rubio and Hexeth, and Rubio
couldn't keep a straight face.
He was laughing.
Let me finish this clip here.
Today you called him daddy, and you sent
a text message to him that was gushing
with praise.
Is this the way that you feel you
have to act when doing business with the
U.S. president through flattery and praise?
Isn't it a bit demeaning, and doesn't it
make you look weak?
Okay, so let me just read the text
message, because that was the head sales guy
talking to the CEO.
Dear Mr. President, dear Donald, Congratulations and thank
you for your decisive action in Iran.
This was truly extraordinary and something no one
else dared to do.
It makes us all safer.
You are flying into another big success in
The Hague this evening.
It was not easy, but we've got them
all signed on to 5%.
I made my sales goal.
Donald, you have driven us to a really,
really— He didn't put that in.
No, he didn't.
I added that.
Donald, you have driven us to a really,
really important moment for America and Europe and
the world.
You will achieve something no American president in
decades could get done.
Europe is going to pay in a big
way, capital B-I-G, big way, as
they should, and it will be your win
for the company.
Safe travels.
See you at His Majesty's dinner.
Not for the company.
He didn't say that either.
No, I guess he didn't.
And so we continue with his answer.
But that's exactly right.
That was the sales—and in this case, it
would be the sales manager.
Yes.
Who's also would be the head sales guy,
because he was, and talking to the CEO,
the boss of him.
Of him.
Who was the guy he reports to to
make sure the sale was done, or he's
the opener, and they're both sales guys, and
Trump came in to close the deal.
Close the deal.
He's the closer.
Let me finish Rutte's answer.
Isn't it a bit demeaning, and doesn't it
make you look weak?
No, I don't think so.
I think it's a bit of a question
of taste.
But I think he's a good friend.
And when he is doing stuff which is
forcing us to, for example, when it comes
to making more investments, I mean, would you
ever think that this would be the result
of this summit if he would not have
been re-elected president?
Do you really think that seven or eight
countries who said, yes, somewhere in the 2030s,
we might meet the 2%?
We've now all decided in the last four
or five months to get to 2%.
So doesn't he deserve some praise?
And when it comes to Iran, the fact
that he took this decisive action, very targeted,
to make sure that Iran would not be
able to get its hands on a nuclear
capability, I think he deserves all the praise.
He deserves all the praise.
He's my boss.
He deserves all the praise.
Trillions of dollars.
Donald, we have done a good job.
So I just have to say that the
Dutch No Agenda Telegram group was on fire
because they are saying, oh, it's a body
double.
That's not Trump.
And I, of course, have to look at
this with a critical eye.
And a couple of things.
The first one, it's unfortunate, but he really,
because Zelensky came in a suit, he couldn't
wear the hat.
And, man, it was not a good hair
day for the president.
It was flipping and flopping, and it looked
thin.
You brought this up with me off-camera.
Off-camera?
Like now?
No, because I brought up that Trump is
wearing the hat in the situation room, and
I thought it was funny because they go
in there to take pictures, and Trump's got
the hat on.
And you mentioned something that I never even
considered, that a lot of the times he
wears the hat because of his hair.
It's going bad on him.
He's getting old.
He's going to hit 80 soon.
No, but even besides, as a hair person,
which everyone talks about.
This is the point I want you to
make.
Yes, everyone talks, oh, you're Adam Curry, the
hair.
Oh, the big hair.
Big hair.
It took 30 minutes every single morning to
get that hair the way it was because
even if I just stood under the shower,
I'd look like Mona Lisa.
I have a lot of hair, but it's
flimsy.
It doesn't stand up by itself.
And so when I had a day off,
at any moment, I didn't have to do
that wretched hair for 30 minutes.
I'd wear a baseball cap.
Baseball cap, ponytail, all the time.
By the way, ask any of the guys
in the hair bands, they'll tell you the
same thing.
Oh, yeah, baseball cap.
That's my saving grace.
Otherwise, you look like a homeless person.
No offense to homeless people.
But you just look like a clochar.
So that's what that is.
And then comes the most interesting part.
Look at Maxima.
She's taller than Trump.
Look at the king.
He's taller than Trump.
This is not possible.
Turns out, by a matter of coincidence, that
I met the king and queen.
And I spoke with them face to face
at length.
First of all, the king is as tall
as I am.
He has 100 pounds on me, but he
is as tall as I am.
And I will say, he got Trump good
because he did the handshake, pulled Trump right
in.
I don't know if you noticed that.
That's normally the thing Trump does.
Like you shake the hand, you pull the
guy in.
The king of the Netherlands pulled Trump in,
touching his elbow with his other hand.
Big power move.
I think Trump was tired.
He was pooped.
And then we have, because he was probably
on the phone with his, at the behest
of Bibi the whole flight, the minute he
left.
So, yeah, he was pooped.
And then you have Queen Maxima, who, I
don't know, she got some style advice, something,
since when I saw her, because I thought
she, with all respect, looked a little frumpy
at the time.
She looked dynamite.
It's not my particular favorite color dress, but,
you know, from a telegenic viewpoint, fantastic.
And I was like, she's taller than Trump.
Yeah.
Did you see the heel she was rocking?
Those were eight-inch heels.
And her daughter, Princess Amalia, who they are
totally grooming, she was standing right next to
her, almost, if not taller than mom.
And by the way, Trump and the queen
know each other very well, because when I
was chatting with the queen, she said, oh,
I just live New York.
I love my friend Ivanka.
I stay at her house in New York.
They know each other.
So, no, this was the real Trump.
And it was not a great body and
hair day for him.
But sometimes you got to go in for
the clothes, even if you don't feel like
it.
And that's exactly what he did.
So I think it was him.
But I was open to it not being
him.
Yeah, I'd be open to it too.
But I saw no evidence.
I'm always on the lookout.
Yeah.
Well, of course.
All right.
You got some NATO stuff you want to
do?
Because I'll just take, I need a breather.
This is very general stuff.
I don't have anything except for the bonus
clip that's worth deconstructing and talking about.
But let's start with the NATO summary.
Okay.
Where's this from?
I believe NTD.
And staying with NATO, President Trump says he's
considering sending more Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
NATO members today highlighting the importance of aiding
Kiev.
NTD's international correspondent, Ariane Pasdar, has the Ukraine
update.
The Patriots.
And we're going to see if we can
make some available.
They're very hard to get.
We need them too.
We were supplying them to Israel.
And they're very effective.
President Trump says the U.S. might supply
Ukraine with more Patriot missile systems.
The U.S. has routinely pressed for allies
to provide air defense systems to Ukraine.
Many are reluctant to give up the high
-tech systems, especially countries in Eastern Europe that
also feel threatened by Russia.
Trump now suggests that peace efforts with Moscow
have not been very successful.
This is more difficult than people would have
any idea.
Vladimir Putin has been more difficult.
Vladimir Putin really has to end that war.
Trump also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
on Wednesday.
Zelensky notably changed his military-style shirts for
a suit.
That's after Trump questioned Zelensky's attire in the
Oval Office earlier this year.
He's all dressed up today.
Zelensky also joined European leaders, including the heads
of state from France and Italy, in a
meeting with NATO Secretary Mark Rutte.
And I think the message that comes out
of this summit is clear.
NATO's commitment to Ukraine endures.
And the Chancellor of Germany praised NATO's efforts
to boost defense spending.
He also says Berlin is not concerned about
a possible threat posed by Moscow, at least
for now.
We know that Russia is not strong enough
to attack NATO as a whole, but we
don't know whether they might not test our
defense readiness one day.
I just want to slip something in regarding
Ukraine because there was a setup in the
Q&A that was epic.
I don't know if you caught it, but
there was a BBC reporter from BBC Ukraine.
Did you see that?
No.
Oh, but listen to this setup.
Where are you from?
I'm from Ukraine.
Oh.
So my question to you is whether or
not the U.S. is ready to sell
anti-air missile systems Patriot to Ukraine.
We know that Russia has been pounding Ukraine
really heavily.
By the way, notice she says sell.
She doesn't say give.
She says sell.
And they're pounding Ukraine.
Are you living yourself now in Ukraine?
My husband is there.
Wow.
I can see you're very, you know, it's
amazing.
And me with the kids.
I'm in Warsaw, actually, because he wanted me
to be.
Is your husband a soldier now?
He is.
He's there now?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's rough stuff, right?
That's tough.
And you're living here?
In Warsaw.
And you're a reporter?
I am.
Good.
So let me just tell you, they do
want to have the anti-missile missiles, okay,
as they call them, the Patriots.
And we're going to see if we can
make some available, you know?
They're very hard to get.
We need them, too.
We were supplying them to Israel.
And they're very effective, 100% effective.
Hard to believe how effective.
And they do want that more than any
other thing, as you probably know.
That's a very good question.
He can't resist selling while he's already sold.
He's almost selling beyond the close.
He's like, they're very effective.
They're really good.
They're hard to get right now.
Hard to get.
They're going to be a little pricey, but
they're 100% effective.
Bull crap.
They're crap.
And Raytheon gets all the money.
Yes, this is fantastic.
This was like, all right, Mark, Mark, Mark,
listen to me.
I am going to sell some more Patriots.
Watch what I do.
Watch me.
I got this girl in the audience.
She's from Ukraine.
I'm going to pay a lot of attention
to her.
And they're very effective, 100% effective.
Hard to believe how effective.
And they do want that more than any
other thing, as you probably know.
That's a very good question.
You can use code Bongino.
Get a discount.
And I wish you a lot of luck.
It's very upsetting to you.
So say hello to your husband, OK?
That was dynamite.
That was Trump the salesman to the max.
That was very impressive.
Very impressive.
That was good, yeah.
Very, very impressive.
OK, part two of the NATO clip.
NATO raising the spending target comes amid global
conflicts.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says developments in
the Middle East won't affect aid to Ukraine.
While we work to lower the temperature in
the Middle East, we will not for a
moment lose focus on Ukraine.
The British Prime Minister is also calling for
renewed diplomatic efforts to push Russian President Vladimir
Putin toward a ceasefire.
Yeah, there you go.
There you go.
I'm almost convinced that Putin's in on this
sale.
You know, why not?
He needs to raise money from his own
people.
Macron was talking about the war economy a
year ago.
Look, what else are we going to do?
The Green New Deal sucks.
Stuff doesn't work.
It's no good.
It's expensive.
Yeah, so let's build some bombs.
Yes.
Yeah.
What else are we going to do?
Let's drop them on Iran.
Well, go ahead.
I have one last clip, but there's a
little in-between clip here.
This is the off-target clip.
I don't know why I put Wilder on
there, but this is about Ruda.
This was kind of another version of the
retort to the daddy thing, which the press
was pretty occupied about.
And I think it was funny because I
think at one point Trump or some or
just news media, right-wing news media, said,
why are they obsessing on this daddy thing?
But this was an interesting little clip here.
Today you called him daddy and you sent
a text message to him.
This is the same clip I just played,
yeah.
You already played it.
Okay.
All right.
Now this will be the bombing clip.
This is bomb.
It says bomb.
Yes.
I spelled it.
Very rare, but I misspelled it.
Well, B and N are next to each
other on the keyboard.
So I always have whenever I look at
your clips, I got to look at my
keyboard.
Okay.
My touch typing is deteriorated.
Oh, why bother?
Why bother?
Just do two fingers and look down.
Yeah, you might just bang or fist it,
you know.
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio
today making their most detailed case yet on
why they're confident that U.S. strikes have
obliterated Iran's nuclear sites.
It comes as NATO leaders delivered Trump a
win by agreeing to boost their defense spending.
Anthony's White House correspondent Iris Tao has more.
It's been obliterated, totally obliterated.
Setting fresh intelligence, including confirmation by Israeli agents
who went there, President Trump again makes clear
that U.S. strikes have successfully taken out
Iran's clean nuclear sites, setting back its nuclear
ambitions for decades.
Now this incredible exercise of American strength has
paved the way for peace.
Speaking at a press conference at NATO, the
president refused a leaked intelligence report that claimed
with low confidence that the attack failed to
destroy key components of Iran's nuclear program.
Trump calls the report incomplete and slams the
media for driving such narratives.
Those pilots flew at great risk.
CNN, New York Times are all bad.
By trying to go and get me, you're
hurting those people.
They were devastated.
On exactly why the mission is deemed a
success, President Trump says the U.S. hit
the targets with a dozen 30,000 pound
bunker buster bombs before Iran had a chance
to move its enriched uranium.
We think we hit them so hard and
so fast they didn't get to move.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio reveals that Iran's
facility to convert nuclear fuel into the form
needed for nuclear weapons was destroyed.
I can't even find where it is, where
it used to be on the map.
You can't even find where it used to
be because the whole thing is just blackened
out.
It's gone.
It's wiped out.
Iran itself on Wednesday for the first time
admitted that its nuclear sites were badly damaged.
Before you get into Hegseth, I just want
to play this one quick analysis clip from
CNBC.
It's David Albright, no relation to Madeleine.
And he is the president of ISIS, of
all unfortunate acronyms for a company.
That's a bad one, yeah.
Institute for Science and International Security.
And he, this was a military industrial complex
demo, okay?
Not as a demolition, but demonstration.
Because this thing was, if true, which I
am just going to believe this, really was
quite amazing what they did and the precision
of this, he explains.
What do you think they were basing that
on?
That the structures are still intact, the building?
I think they were dependent on satellite imagery
and some communication intercepts, and I don't think
they can tell.
And also from the reporting, I don't know
if they're talking about Fordow or a mountain
complex at Esfahan nuclear site.
I mean, it's very murky.
What we found at Fordow is we have
building designs for Fordow from previous or other
work we do.
And we could geolocate what parts of the
site were being targeted.
So there's a very important ventilation shaft that
comes up from the bottom, from the floor
of the centrifuge plant all the way up
to the surface.
The three holes from the mops are right
in that ventilation shaft area or ventilation system.
So it's kind of a clean shot all
the way to the bottom.
You're not going through a mountain, per se.
We also found that the other three were
targeted at the end of the centrifuge hall,
going through an older structure that had been
on the surface and that Iran had covered
up back many years ago.
So we think that's a vulnerability in the
mountain.
And so if these mops got through, what
they're doing is if they explode, they're creating
shock waves that run throughout the complex from
two different directions.
And so we wouldn't expect the roofs to
collapse.
We would just expect fire pressure shock waves
that would destroy things in their path.
And so if it worked, it would be
extremely destructive.
So they lobbed these things down a one
-meter hole, one after another, all the way
down to the bottom?
That's what they claim.
They went down the ventilation shaft.
If that's true, that's, like, that's some 13
,000 feet.
That's better than an iPhone.
I mean, that's some technology right there.
Well, these bombs aren't cheap.
But I'm thinking that this leak that came
out of the DIA, by the way, the
DIA, I love everyone who's intelligence, I'm sure.
Everybody's a patriot.
But the Defense Intelligence Agency, these are the
people that leaked all these crazy stories.
The grid's going to go down.
Chinese men of fighting age are going to
form an army.
Yeah, all the stuff you get to hear
in Fredericksburg, I hear none of it here.
John F.
Kennedy, Jr. is still alive.
He's alive.
Mother Teresa is Fauci's mom, and she's a
dude.
I mean, I've heard it all.
Jennifer Maniston, all the Victoria's Secrets.
I mean, that's not – but it comes
from the same place.
Yeah, the same group.
I'm almost convinced that this whole leak was
a fake.
Well, it could have been a fake from
a competing company saying – Well, it could
have been – well, there's that.
It also could have been just something to
get the media all riled up so Trump
can moan and groan.
Yeah, that would be – they do PSYOPs.
DIA, they do the PSYOPs.
They're out of control.
I think so, too.
Yeah.
I have no question about it.
Something's very fishy about this whole leaked low
-confidence memo.
And the girl who picked it up, this
Bertrand woman.
Yeah, this was good.
You had this in the newsletter.
I had it in the newsletter.
She's a two-time Emmy Award winner.
She's young.
She's probably working for some house somewhere.
She was blamed for being the first to
promote the 54 intelligence agents think that Biden
laptops bull crap, and she also did –
she was caught up in something before that,
the dossier.
She was all in on that.
Something about her is kind of fishy, too,
but she's not an idiot.
So there's a lot going on there.
So one of the things I caught this
morning is Hegseth's press conference, and I only
wanted to play a little bit of it
because I'm noticing something very interesting, which is
that Hegseth, who a lot of people think
is being run – and I've never heard
clips from this guy.
I've got to dig some clips up.
This guy, General Carrillo.
Oh, this is a new guy.
Carrillo is a guy.
We don't hear about him, but everybody who
knows anything says that Carrillo is running Hegseth,
which we knew that when Hegseth got in,
he's going to have to have somebody that
– To actually run the show.
Somebody has to do it, and Hegseth is
going to be a front guy.
But Hegseth, I think, even though Trump is
praising him a lot, trying to get him
back on track, and he does – I
don't think he's doing a bad job per
se as a job, but as a front
guy, I think he's starting to fail because
he brought him in.
He's a fox guy.
He's got the military background.
He's a little bit of a grunt, but
he's got the military background to do this,
and he's got the good looks, but all
that's falling by the wayside because I believe
there's a milieu influencer within the White House
that is affecting Hegseth.
Hegseth has picked up a sibilance in his
voice, which is bordering on – Like that?
No, no.
It's more – Sibilance can go that way.
Sibilance can go toward a Sylvester the Cat
sound where he talks like this.
It's almost going a little bit like that.
Sibilance can go into the lisp.
The lisp, the lisp, the lisp.
So sibilance – In fact, in the audio
world, there's a thing called a de-esser
you can buy.
Yes, yes.
It's in my board.
I've got it in my board even.
It takes sibilance out because sometimes the audio
equipment will create it, but I don't think
so in this case.
This is Hegseth.
You're going to have – This is a
short clip.
You're going to have to listen for it.
It's heading toward a lisp, and I'm trying
to figure out who it's – I figured
out who it sounds like.
I figured out who the alpha male is
in the room that's creating this.
He's the guy that's caused Hegseth to do
two things.
One, he's developing a lisp, and he's talking
fast like a maniac.
He's not like a professional TV guy that
he once was.
First term, and here in his second term,
we've accelerated that.
Thirty-two NATO countries committed to spending 5
percent of their GDP on defense, on actually
investing in the NATO alliance.
NATO alliance.
So I hope with all the ink spilled,
all of your outlets find the time to
properly recognize this historic change in continental security
that other presidents tried to do, other presidents
talked about.
President Trump accomplished it.
It's a huge deal.
You see, we're here this morning because in
hunting for scandals all the time, in trying
to find wedges and spin stories, this press
corps and the press corps miss historic moments.
You miss historic moments like 5 percent at
NATO, which when you hear – I was
in the closed-door briefing.
I wish there could have been cameras in
there.
When you heard the prime ministers and presidents
of other countries, to a man and to
a woman, looking at President Trump and saying,
this never could have happened, never would have
happened, seemed impossible five years ago, two years
ago, eight years ago, but here we are
because of your leadership.
If you asked them the question, I bet
they'd say the same thing.
But searching for scandals, you miss historic moments
like recruiting at the Pentagon, historic levels in
the Army, the Air Force, and the Navy.
Yeah, maybe there'll be a little mention here
or there, but because it was under President
Trump's leadership, because it was because Americans are
responding to him as commander-in-chief, the
press corps doesn't want to write about it.
Ah, I got it.
I know who's influencing him.
This Lindsey Graham.
No.
How about J.D. Vance?
I get a bit of a J.D.
Vance vibe from him.
No, this is Rubio.
Of course it is.
Ah, boom.
Yeah, nailed it.
Rubio.
Totally Rubio.
He sounds like Rubio.
He's getting Rubio's cadence.
Rubio is a funny guy, but when he's
serious, he's a fast talker.
He's mean.
Yes.
He has a sibilance.
Yes.
He's borderline lisping, and this guy's borderline lisping.
Rubio is the alpha male in the room
of these advisers.
Who would have thought that that dancer.
Yeah, the dancer.
The dancer.
The prancer and dancer.
Who would have thought?
The dancer prancer is now the guy that's
head set.
Yeah, that makes sense.
And Rubio, you can see the two guys
probably do like each other, so they're hanging
around a lot.
They were the two guys that went with
Trump to NATO.
They were behind him, and so those two
guys are talking a lot, and Rubio is
creating the milieu.
Yeah.
This reminds me of during the Obama administration.
You had all those women that sounded exactly
the same.
Lisa Monaco.
He's going to start sounding like Rubio.
Mm-hmm.
These milieus, which of course I'm a nut
about them, because I found myself.
When I was at the air pollution district.
There we go.
So I was working with a lot of
cops, especially in the early days when they
had these orange and white cars that were
cop cars run with cops that worked there
that would pull people over for the tailpipe
emissions.
This ended after about six years, but they
were doing it for a while.
So the place was just filled with cops.
For at least a decade, when I walked
into a bar, people would come up to
me and say, you're a cop, right?
Because you would be talking like one.
No, I'd never said anything.
I just sat down.
It was a vibe or something.
I never could figure out what it was
specifically.
I thought you were a narc.
I don't know.
So I never could figure out specifically what
it was.
I'm telling you, which is you're a cop,
right?
No.
Of all the people, John C.
You're a cop, right?
And it lasted for about a decade.
It started probably in the 70s.
It went on for a while, and then
it stopped.
It stopped all of a sudden, and it
just stopped.
I could never figure out.
Nothing changed.
There's something powerful about meal use, and it
helps people identify.
That's why I think a lot of gay
people can identify gay people, besides the fact
a lot of lesbians can identify lesbians.
One of the keys to lesbians is they
put their hand.
I'm told this.
Wait, wait, wait.
Pay attention, everybody.
Guys, pay attention.
Here comes John's lesbian detection service.
This is only one single noticeable tip.
If a woman, she's at a table, and
she puts her hands palm down, both palms
down on the table when she's talking, she's
a lesbian.
I have no idea why that is, but
it's an indicator.
So I'm always clued into this because what
you can do, if you can figure out
what elements that are in the meal you
that are creating.
That was the tip of the day.
You blew it.
That was the total tip of the day.
The tip of the day.
And I want to remind people of the
Sparrow studies that were run in Berkeley, and
this was in the 50s, I think, or
maybe the 60s.
But they found that sparrows, flocks of sparrows,
picked up a chirp that was particular to
the flock, and they had a cadence to
the way they chatted with each other or
chirped with each other.
And if you took one of those sparrows
and put them in another flock, they'd be
rousted.
They'd get them out.
They weren't part of that meal you.
And meal yous are very important to understand.
And I think that Rubio is the guy
that is creating the model for that meal
you, and it's ruining Hegseth.
It's changing his style.
Very interesting.
Good observation.
I have Rubio in a clip with Trump.
We want to hear it, and then we
can compare.
Sure.
This is the NATO presser.
This is about Iran coming in to have
a little chat.
Are you interested in restarting negotiations with Iran?
And if so, have they responded?
So our people, Marco could answer this, but
our people are not ‑‑ I'm not.
The way I look at it, they fought,
the war is done, and I could get
a statement that they're not going to go
nuclear.
We're probably going to ask for that.
But they're not going to be doing it.
But they're not going to be doing it
anyway.
They've had it.
Now, maybe someday in the future we'll want
that.
But I've asked Marco, do you want to
do it?
I just asked him the question as we
were walking on the stage.
Do you want to draw up a little
agreement for them to sign?
Because I think we can get them to
sign it.
I don't think it's necessary.
Marco, do you want to talk about that,
please?
Well, Mr. President, I think you ‑‑ President
Trump has shown a willingness to meet and
talk to anybody in the world who's interested
in peace.
Totally.
I don't know of any president that's been
as willing as he has to meet with
anyone and talk about peace.
We'd love to have peaceful relations with any
country in the world.
And so, obviously, that will depend on Iran's
willingness not just to engage in peace, but
to negotiate directly with the United States, not
through some third country or fourth country process.
But I know of no president, probably in
our modern history, that's sought peace more than
President Trump has.
I think you're spot on.
And Marco was calm in this one.
But that's ‑‑ Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's totally ‑‑ Do you
mind if I just play these two from
the same presser?
Because it was quite remarkable, some things that
he said that I don't think anyone really
picked up on.
And the first one is about ‑‑ hold
on a second.
This is ‑‑ oh, this is ‑‑ is
this about the report?
Yeah, I think it's about ‑‑ what is
this?
Let me check.
I think they're very much finished.
Oh, yeah, this is about what Iran does
next.
I think they're very much finished.
I think Israel is going to get back
to doing what they do.
And I think that Iran is going to
get back.
You know, Iran has a huge advantage.
They have great oil and they can do
things.
I don't see them getting back involved in
the nuclear business anymore.
I think they've had it.
They've been at it for 20 years.
And I don't see that happening either.
Now, if it does, we're always there.
It won't be me.
It will be somebody else.
But we're there.
We'll have to do something about it.
And here is ‑‑ this to me was
the whole ‑‑ this is a big, big
deal here, what he says.
Thank you so much, Mr. President.
Yesterday, you said China can now continue to
purchase oil from Iran.
Yeah.
Are you giving up on your maximum pressure
campaign?
With who?
Because there's sanctions right now.
With who?
On Iran.
No, look, they just had a war.
The war was fought.
They fought it bravely.
I'm not giving up.
They're in the oil business.
I mean, I could stop it if I
wanted.
I could sell China the oil myself.
I don't want to do that.
They're going to need money to put that
country back into shape.
We want to see that happen.
Would they?
No.
If they're going to sell oil, they're going
to sell oil.
We're not taking over the oil.
We could have, you know.
I used to say with Iraq, keep the
oil.
I could say it here, too.
We could have kept the oil.
No, China is going to want to buy
oil.
They can buy it from us.
They can buy it from other people.
But you're going to have to put that
country back into shape.
It desperately needs money.
The rebellization phase is over.
Now we move in with the money.
This is exactly what's happening.
Yeah, let's get Halliburton in there.
Maybe they can do some contracting.
Yes.
We do some building and let's do some
trading.
Exactly.
It's like, oh, boom.
We need some Persian rugs in this country.
They make terrific rugs.
Here's another.
We have a Persian rug up in Washington.
I'm going to have to get me one
of these.
Big ones.
The biggest one we have.
It's a monster.
Machine-made.
Not a hand-sewn Persian rug.
From Iran.
A machine-made Persian rug.
It's unbelievable.
They don't need to do the hand.
They have the textile industry there that can
make these beautiful monster rugs.
And since they're machine-made, they're a lot
cheaper than a hand-knotted rug.
Those things are not cheap, even though they're
not overpriced.
It's like a bonanza.
I want some of these rugs.
I want a rug now, too.
These are great rugs.
Well, right on cue, I thought this was
quite interesting.
The crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who
lives in Washington, D.C., comes out with
a message.
Now, I know a lot of Iranians, or
as we say in California- Is he
in D.C. or New York?
No, D.C. He's in D.C. I
looked it up.
He lives in D.C. We have a
lot of Persians, as they call themselves in
America.
Very successful business people, Los Angeles, California, in
particular, lots of Iranians, I'm sorry, Persians.
And they all left Iran because, well, the
history lesson is what the crown prince gives
us here.
The Middle East, the cradle of civilization, is
rich with stories of great kings, prophets, and
philosophers.
From Cyrus to Moses to Ibn Khaldun, our
nations have given the world some of its
greatest visionaries.
Leaders like Anwar Sadat, King Hussein, Menachem Begin,
King Faisal, and my father, too, took up
the mantle of seeking peace for our people.
But for 45 years, too many of us
have been forced to live in fear.
Fear of the next terrorist attack, fear of
war, fear of economic instability, fear of nuclear
blackmail.
That's because 45 years ago, my country was
taken hostage by a radical regime that seeks
not only to keep my people in chains,
but to export its revolution to your countries
and your people.
The regime in Tehran is responsible for the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents, Iranians,
Arabs, and Israelis, Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
It facilitated the October 7th attack.
It fueled sectarian conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon,
and Yemen.
It is trying to unseat the Hashemite kingdom
and delegitimize the custodians of the two holy
mosques.
It uses Palestinians as human shields.
And now it has brought our cradle of
civilization to the cusp of regional war.
So if you're interested, I'll play the second
half of this, where he basically says he's
ready for regime change, and he's ready, and
all the Persians in America are ready to
go back and reclaim their country.
I will say this.
So just before 79, the fall of the
Shah, who had a secret police, and nobody
liked him.
No.
No matter what his son thinks.
And the Bay Area, in particular Berkeley, there
was, and Cal was filled with Persian students.
And everybody wanted to get, all these, the
same Persians that he's talking about in the
United States that wanted to, they're the ones
that wanted regime change, to get rid of
the Shah, and they put in the mullahs.
And we did that at the behest of
them.
So yes.
And so it's like, okay, you can say
what you want.
I think it's about time that American Persians
stick around and run their shops and businesses
and corporations, and let the Persians in Persia
do what they do instead of meddling.
It was the meddling in the first place
that got rid of his dad, and now
they're gonna just screw it up.
Americans screw stuff up.
Stay out.
Well, isn't that kind of what Trump is
saying?
It's like- Yeah, Trump's been saying it.
Yeah, you guys do it yourself.
We don't want to do it.
You want to sell your oil, sell your
oil.
Just don't get into bed with China.
We'll lend you the money.
We'll send our guys in.
We got great construction.
I got a construction company.
It's all good.
Yeah, right.
Trump.
I know how to build.
By the way.
So play.
Yeah, I want to hear the second half
of that.
And so today I come to you with
a message.
This is not the Iranian people's war.
It is Ali Khamenei and his regime's war.
The tyrants in Tehran couches his warmongering in
Iranian nationalism, but he does not speak for
our nation.
The crimes his regime has committed against you,
our neighbors, are an affront to Iranians and
our values.
For us, Iranians, pride in our nation and
love of our country do not come at
the price of hatred, antagonism, or chauvinism.
My comparisons have shown time and time again
that they do not want Iran's wealth spent
on fueling wars, fostering instability, or funding terrorism.
Iranians are not your enemy.
It is the Islamic Republic that is our
common enemy, the enemy of all peace-seeking
people in our regions, whatever nation they come
from or whatever faith they practice.
So I say to you, our friends across
the Middle East, our region deserves so much
better.
But in order to succeed, first, this regime
that has held us hostage for nearly half
a century must go.
The Middle East is all too familiar with
turmoil and upheaval.
So I know you might fear change will
bring chaos.
But fear not.
We will not allow a power vacuum to
follow the collapse of this regime.
There is a vast coalition of patriotic Iranians,
at home and abroad, ready to step in
to serve our nation and make peace with
our region.
I have told my compatriots that I will
do my duty.
I will step forward at their call to
oversee this peaceful transition to democracy and Iran's
return to the community of nations.
Peace is neither a relic of history nor
a distant dream.
It is a promise we owe to ourselves
and our children.
And together, we can make it a reality.
And I'll say that, you know, 1979, absolutely,
our State Department was stacked with and done
so on purpose, as we've heard, with American
Jews, because they had a bone to pick
and they were like, oh, these guys, they
hate all those guys, so we'll just let
them run the show.
There's no doubt about that.
But it's always been America.
And I'm glad Rubio's in there.
At least he brings a different perspective.
Can't accuse him of being a Zionist.
Rubio, yeah, I like Rubio.
Yeah.
I mean, I didn't think much of his,
I kind of always kind of liked the
guy in some odd way, even though he's
a kind of a fruity dancer.
I've never seen him dance, but I'd like
to.
I have.
You have?
Well, he's like, there's clips and there's, I
mean, they're gone now, but there's clips of
him, but there's more clips of Zelensky, who
is worse.
He might as well have just been a
complete flamer.
Yes, a flamer.
Right on.
And here's the most interesting part, is the
markets.
Good to have you with us, Jukka.
Global oil prices have tumbled for a second
day amid a fragile ceasefire between Iran and
Israel.
Fragile?
Well, Sharon, in the space of 36 hours
or so, oil prices have tumbled by more
than 10%.
We haven't seen such a steep decline since
early April.
The international benchmark Brent has come down below
$68 a barrel and the WTI below $65
a barrel.
At the start of the week, there was
a lot of concern about a potential supply
shock should Iran decide to block the Strait
of Hormuz.
That concern now appears to be gone as
a ceasefire remains in place despite earlier violations.
President Trump's social media comment that China could
continue buying Iranian oil further fueled the sell
-off.
Global stock markets, on the other hand, rallied.
Wall Street's three main indexes all ended sharply
higher, with the Dow Jones gaining around 530
points and the S&P 500 approaching its
record high close reached back in February.
Oh, wait a minute.
I missed a great opportunity.
It's in your DNA.
Wait, where is it?
Oh, man, I got to find that clip.
Because you want him not to be successful
so bad, you have to cheer against the
efficacy of these strikes.
Tell me about this sexuality.
It's in your DNA.
At the start of that news conference, the
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth lashed out
at the news media condemning outlets, including CNN,
for reports that the U.S. strikes on
Iran weren't as effective as the Trump administration
was initially saying.
Listen to this.
Because you cheer against Trump so hard, it's
in your DNA and in your blood to
cheer against Trump.
Yeah.
Because you want him not to be successful
so bad, you have to cheer against the
efficacy of these strikes.
You have to hope maybe they weren't effective.
Maybe the way the Trump administration's representative isn't
true.
So let's take half-truths, spun information, leaked
information, and then spin it, spin it in
every way we can to try to cause
doubt and manipulate the public mind over whether
or not our brave pilots were successful.
Yes.
And when you're talking about yourself because your
own station's in the news, bring in Brian
Seltzer-Water.
All right, joining us now to discuss is
CNN's chief media analyst, Brian Seltzer.
Brian, thanks for joining us.
We should just note that Hexeth's attacks are
false.
CNN has reported that this was a preliminary
assessment.
Why is he now trying to say otherwise?
Right.
And journalists are not the main story here.
The main story is what you just covered,
the impact of the U.S. strikes on
Iran.
The public still has a lot that wants
to know about the impact of the strikes.
But the administration is picking a fight with
the press and casting legitimate journalism as unpatriotic
right now.
The Trump administration is not actually challenging the
facts of what CNN reported.
Instead, it's objecting to the existence of reporting.
The Trump administration just wants everyone to repeat
Trump's words instead of following up, instead of
asking questions.
Because we're the media.
And Hexeth was very emotional, almost spitting mad
about this at the press conference this morning,
very clearly trying to perform for the president.
And we know that is audience of one
partly why the president picked Hexeth from Fox
in order to run the Defense Department.
That kind of performance is what Trump was
looking for.
He had looking for a Fox News performance.
OK, Brian.
But it seems to me, well, if Trump
is far from the first politician to use
the military as a shield against fair minded
scrutiny, you know, Trump is saying that the
B-2 pilots were devastated by this news
coverage.
But the reporting by CNN that was matched
by The New York Times and other outlets
was not the last word on the matter.
It was really just the first word.
There's so much more reporting to do on
this topic.
This this is a very complex matter, even
though Trump tried to make it sound simple
on Saturday night.
It's really important to note what CNN did
not report.
CNN did not report that this mission was
a failure.
Far from it.
It may have turned out to be a
tremendous success.
We just don't know all the facts yet
and neither does the U.S. government.
So this performance from Hegseth today, it's part
of a pattern of attacking the press trying
to claim it's unpatriotic to ask these questions.
But I think the history going back to
Vietnam and more recently, the Iraq war shows
that it is quite patriotic.
Wow.
You mean when you were in front of
the blue screen putting on helmets and pretending
like you were under attack?
That was super patriotic, bro.
To ask these questions and hold the government
to account.
Yeah, we were simply reporting what was leaked
to CNN by a U.S. official from
that initial DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency report, and
we reported it in context.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
From the DIA.
And the last one.
You write in a new article for CNN,
Brian, that questioning power is certainly patriotic.
Explain for our viewers why it's necessary for
the news media to report on these assessments,
even if they are preliminary.
Because some of the biggest embarrassments for the
American media of the last 50, 60 years
have been times where the questions were not
asked.
You mean like when you called Trump Hitler
and all that?
That wasn't embarrassing?
When people might have neutered themselves, might have
quieted themselves.
Like the Russia collusion stuff?
Yeah.
Because there was a rally around the flag
effect.
The best example, of course, being in the
run up to the Iraq war in 2003.
Now this set of circumstances is very different.
The U.S. airstrikes on Iran were courageous.
The actions by the pilots were courageous.
Gosh, I would love to hear from the
pilots directly, by the way.
There's a lot more reporting to do.
It seems that Trump doesn't want that reporting
to happen.
He's calling for firings and those sorts of
things.
Both CNN and The New York Times have
strongly defended the reporting because it has not
actually been challenged.
The actual details have not been challenged.
But you know, as you've said on this
program, there's a lot more to learn about
this subject.
And that's what the public wants from the
press.
The public expects the press to do that
work dispassionately, neutrally, not looking for an outcome,
but trying to find out what actually happened
inside Iran.
Wow.
You deserve a Pulitzer for that.
That was great, Brian.
You are so awesome.
What did he even say?
What?
Can you summarize what he said?
Yeah.
Trump is mean.
He's a meanie.
Oh, goodness.
Goodness.
You got anything else on this?
Because I think we've kind of beat this
horse to death.
I think we're spent on this topic.
Yeah.
I think so, too.
There's this kind of an offshoot.
We have the Mamdavi thing that happened in
New York City, which I think is super
important.
Now, this to me seems like, first of
all, it's being played as if he's already
the mayor.
This is a...
Odds are.
Odds are he'll be mayor.
In fact, I had the odds from BetOnline
.ag a couple of shows ago that said
he was going to win the primary.
But do you think this is truly idiots
who voted for him?
Like this is the guy?
I mean, I even heard Dave Weiner on
his podcast say, no, no, we've got to
hold our nose and vote for Cuomo, which
Cuomo, which I was surprised that Dave Weiner
would say Cuomo.
Cuomo is hardly astute.
He thinks he is.
And it was the women of New York
City that got this guy in.
I have three clips.
I have his acceptance speech, but I want
to start with the rundown.
This is the NYC mayor primary from NTD.
And Zoran Mamdani, the 33-year-old New
York state lawmaker and self-described democratic socialist,
declared victory in New York City's democratic mayoral
primary.
That's as former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
concedes.
It's a surprising upset over former New York
Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had been seeking a
political comeback four years after resigning amid sexual
harassment allegations.
But in brief remarks to supporters, the 67
-year-old conceded the race to Mamdani and
said he had called to congratulate him.
Tonight is his night, he said.
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, holds a
state assembly seat in New York's Queensborough and
entered the mayoral race as a virtual unknown.
According to the city's elections board, he was
ahead of Cuomo, 43.5 to 36.4
percent, with nearly 95 percent of ballot scanners
reporting.
Nine other Democratic candidates trailed far behind.
But Mamdani's lead in Tuesday's preliminary results appeared
too large for Cuomo, or any other candidate,
to overcome.
The differences between the two mayoral candidates were
stark.
Cuomo is a moderate backed by the establishment,
who served a decade as governor, while Mamdani
is a progressive newcomer who promises a break
with the past.
In the lead-up to Tuesday's vote, he
garnered endorsements from prominent progressives like Senator Bernie
Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Mamdani will likely be the favorite in November's
general election in a city where Democrats dominate.
The current mayor, Democrat Eric Adams, will also
appear on the November ballot as an independent.
Wow.
That's just, that's, you know, because I was
listening to Tina talk about it, because she's
followed that a little closer than I have,
she said it's because he just offered all
this free stuff, free stuff, and everyone, and
all the kids are like, oh yeah, free
stuff, let's get some free stuff.
Do you think that's true?
Well, here's Jesse, I have a rundown of
some of the free stuff and some of
the changes he wants to make from Jesse.
All people, Jesse Waters does one of the
best rundowns of this whole thing.
This is only part of a longer clip,
but it's pretty, it's condensed, it's good.
Other factions want a full jailbreak.
New York City Democrats just nominated a communist,
and the commie shatters.
Zoran Mamdani would be the first Muslim mayor
of New York.
Zoran's born in Uganda, raised in South Africa,
and he only came here seven years ago.
The blacks and Hispanics, don't blame them, they
voted for Cuomo.
Zoran won whites, wealthy whites.
They voted for a 33-year-old Muslim
immigrant who, you can see his nipples in
this music video.
He campaigned on turning New York into San
Francisco, defunding the police, emptying prisons, legalizing prostitution,
city-run grocery stores, free transportation, free injection
sites.
And he says if Netanyahu comes to the
UN, he's going to have him arrested.
Trump can't believe Democrats nominated someone crazier than
Crockett.
Quote, it's finally happened.
The Democrats have crossed the line.
Zoran Mamdani is 100% communist lunatic.
He looks terrible, his voice is grating, he's
not very smart.
Wait a minute, I don't understand.
We have a clip of the mayoral candidates
all talking about, what's your first trip going
to be?
Then all of them are like, oh, Israel,
Israel, Israel, Israel, because of course, the Jews
run New York, don't they?
How does this happen?
Well, in that same water show, they showed
the campaign headquarters when they made the announcement
that Cuomo conceded.
And the audience was all women.
And they were all those same women that
you see on TikTok, and they all went
nuts.
They love him.
He's exactly what they want.
Oh, that's great.
I was reading, what's this, luxury real estate
brokers say wealthy New Yorkers are already looking
to flee.
And Mondavi has already said that he was
going to put in an exit tax for
anyone who tries to leave the city.
Wow.
I don't know how you can enforce that,
but anyone who wants to move out of
New York, exit tax.
They're not going to put up with it
because he wants to gouge the rich.
Here is his acceptance speech, or at least
the better part of it.
We have won because New Yorkers have stood
up for a city they can afford.
A city where they can do more than
just struggle.
One where those who toil in the night
can enjoy the fruits of their labor in
the day.
Comrade.
Where hard work is repaid with a stable
life, where eight hours on the factory floor
or behind the wheel of a cab is
enough to pay the mortgage.
It is enough to keep the lights on.
It is enough to send your kid to
school.
Where rent stabilized apartments are actually stabilized, where
buses are fast and free, where childcare doesn't
cost more than CUNY and where public safety
keeps us truly safe.
And it's where the mayor will use their
power to reject Donald Trump's fascism.
Hold on.
Is he a they them?
I'm really glad you caught that.
Is it?
Is he a they?
That stuck out to me, too.
It sounds like he's a they them.
Exactly what he said.
Public safety keeps us truly safe.
And it's where the mayor will use their
power to reject Donald Trump's fascism to stop
mass ICE agents from deporting our neighbors and
to govern our city as a model for
the Democratic Party.
No.
OK.
Oh, this is great, by the way.
I am really.
This is going to be fun to watch.
Fantastic.
I mean, he really, honestly, sincerely wants to
get rid of half of the police and
put his social workers because they know more
about crime.
Yeah.
Then the police do.
That's great.
And he's going to legalize prostitution.
New York City had a lot of prostitutes
in the 80s.
I remember I was there.
I was there.
Yeah, I was there, too.
You could drive down to the 8th Street,
I think, was just everywhere as far as
I can tell.
It was you can almost name the corners
and it's a whole entire street.
And it was very much was crawling with
whores and it was illegal.
It was very much like Starsky and Hutch
with Huggy Bear.
You know, you had pimps walking around in
big furry coats and the girls with with
very short, many, many, many shirts, a certain
in their beads, in their beads.
Nailed it.
Yes.
Oh, man.
A boomer.
Boomer talk on display.
So there you have it.
So it's going to be legal.
That would be very interesting because, you know,
they tried to they're trying to do that
in California.
This guy, Wiener, is another super progressive guy.
Wiener's name is Wiener, Scott Wiener.
And he's gay and super progressive.
And he wants to also wants everyone to
be gay and prostitute legal.
Everyone be gay and awesome, gay and awesome,
fabulous and so gay and fabulous.
And so this guy is and is more
than just a few of the few items
that listed that this guy is really off
the rails when it comes to this.
He's in the same district as Alexandria Ocasio
-Cortez.
That's where they're working from.
He's in Queens.
And they have the same base.
And she's like following him around, promoting him.
I think it's so that the thinking is
currently that he'll win the whole thing because
Eric Adams is going to be demonized as
a Trump guy.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, there's no New Yorkers for some reason.
Hey, Trump.
And and they don't know what to do
about it.
This guy's going to win.
Wow.
All right.
Now, my prediction, if you want to hear
what I think is going to happen.
Well, of course we do.
I think that because this guy's going to
be worse than de Blasio, he's going to.
Take this, it's going to take about two
years and the city is going to be
close to ruination, they're going to have a
recall and get him out, they're going to
kick him out.
That's my prediction that he will actually not
make a full term.
What I could be wrong, what is the
term?
Is it four years or five years?
I think it's four years for mayor, but
I could be wrong.
I mean, let's look it up.
You know, we do have the possibilities.
But some people of knowledge, how long, how
long may Oriel give New York City back
to the Dutch?
OK, trolls.
Let's go back to New Amsterdam.
Yeah.
Four years.
Yep.
Well, it would certainly teach New Yorkers a
lesson.
You know, and you should have to wear
a little a little pink star to let
everyone know you voted for him.
Somebody pointed out and I think it was
just an anti interesting anti Muslim meme, which
is that why do the two financial capitals
of the world, assuming this guy gets in?
And what's also funny is he's a Muslim
who is all for for trans and gay
rights, which is kind of contradictory.
If you're a Muslim, it seems to me
he's a well.
But he was born in Uganda.
He lived in, I don't know, South Africa,
South Africa.
He code switches all the time into different
accents.
He's like a chameleon, a rapper.
He used to be a rapper back.
He's he's a millennial, the hip hopper.
You can't be a rapper.
He was a hip hopper.
OK.
Yeah, you can't be a rapper.
Rapper.
Well, he was like 80s.
That's he's thirty three.
Oh, by the way, 30 is thirty three.
So the point is, is that you have
a Muslim mayor in London and New York,
the two financial capitals of the world.
Very interesting phenomenon.
I don't know what that means.
I was I was talking to my buddy.
I had lunch with him.
He he works for.
Databricks.
Which is a well, he says machine learning,
but of course, they're marketing it as a.
And he said that they just had their
huge meeting in San Francisco and he said
it's so difficult because he's a he has
huge accounts.
He sails because I can't get my customers
even want to come to San Francisco.
Yeah.
And and he says so they had the
Moscone Center and he said they cleaned the
city for us.
They shoved all those all those homeless people
off on, you know, onto side streets.
No, the he says Moscone was pristine.
The mayor comes up.
Of course, there was some deal.
He says that mayor is actually better than
London breed.
Of course, this is the mayor come up
on stage and say, you know, we're we're
really doing better, really want your business.
And I'm proud to announce we have we've
just signed a deal with Databricks for five
more years.
And everyone goes and we're like.
They hate going there.
Oh, by the way, he told me something
else.
You know that that podcast girl who was
talking about mosaic, mosaic and Palantir used mosaic
to determine that there were they could build
nine dirty bombs.
Remember that clip from the last show?
Oh, a second.
It's worth playing.
You have a play.
Yeah.
Mosaic.
Yeah.
Rachel Bevins with that's her podcast.
Sarah Bill's the co-founder of D.D.
Geopolitics.
Listen.
And I was like, wow.
So then I started really digging into it
and I realized that it's it's the mosaic
software, which is a cover for Palantir, which
is actually exactly like you said, mapping out
these data points, stating that there's leaks or
issues at certain sites that have never been
known to have nuclear issues or nuclear weapons
or nuclear material at those sites.
It's very interesting.
And now you see kind of the IAEA
saying, well, we didn't say that they had
nuclear weapons.
So the new Whitney Webb, as she branded
herself, as you recall from the earlier.
Oh, yeah.
Now I'm the new Whitney Webb.
Yeah.
Whitney Webb.
So my my my boy says, yeah, no,
we bought mosaic in July 2023.
It's our company.
It's not Palantir's company.
So but remember, she really started to dig
into it and did some deep research.
So she did the deep research and missed
the elephant in the room completely.
Yes.
Well, that's another podcast down to eight hundred
million dollars or something.
Yeah.
You you kind of miss that when you're
doing your deep dive.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you, it's like
when people said you need to do more
on a podcast, it's like shooting fish in
a barrel, people.
It's this is it's fun for me.
I like it.
I have a clip from the Todd cast.
The Todd cast, the Chuck Todd cast.
Oh, lovely.
Well, well, you want to set it up?
I can't remember what it's about, but I
put it in here for some reason.
Let's listen.
Oh, no, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
So I took it and he did it.
He did a discussion with one of his
buddies and I decided to take the best.
This is what he sounds like in the
entire podcast.
It's I couldn't do the whole thing, but
I did about 50 seconds worth.
Sorry.
Is that you?
That was me.
Wow.
I know it's good, right?
I can't get really good at it.
It's so careful now because you're doing a
lot of arms now.
You do.
I know it's because I listen to the
pipe.
This is a million problem.
Yeah.
You're going to start that I brought up
earlier because I listened to Chuck Todd cast
and I ended up saying, um, um, um,
a lot.
But listen to him.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, of the
book Original Sin.
Uh, and then after that, uh, and I
got a little, uh, um, um, um, and
so do the MRIs.
Um, um, uh, um, um, um, that's just
a fact.
Uh, uh, look, so, uh, now look, um,
um, and, uh, uh, um, Darrell Pegg say,
um, uh, um, this week, uh, on there,
um, but what, nothing that, uh, on that
front, uh, he's, um, all right, I'm going
to look, I want to share something with
you.
We had to put our dog down, but,
um, um, but anyway, um, I, I'm just
sharing because it's, it's one of those things
you kind of just, just, I just want
you to love my dog, love your dog.
Uh, and I will see you the next
time.
Oh, poor Chuck Todd.
Leave Todd alone.
Believe here's what was interesting in this particular
podcast.
He had Jake Tapper on and he was
talking about the book, but he had, he
has a prepared part of the show where
he does like an editorial, but this is
the model that you see on Fox where
they Laura starts off with the angle and,
you know, O'Reilly's the one who kind
of invented the formula.
And so he starts off and he's reading
it and he does have a slightly different
intonation when he reads and he reads about
a 14 minute diatribe.
Perfect.
There's not one, um, or, uh, or, um,
uh, he's reading, he's reading and he's a
good reader.
He's a really good reader.
So when he was on meet the press,
he's a tell, he can read the prompter
and he sounds like he's talking.
He's not quite.
Cause when you hear him really talking, he's
saying, um, a lot, but he's a terrific
reader and it just goes away.
It goes away, gone.
He's reading, reading, and then he goes back
to ad-libbing and it falls apart.
Uh, it's a, it's a crappy podcast.
It's very long.
Does he have sponsors?
Does he have a gold as a sponsor?
Not gold yet.
What does he have?
He has something.
I can't remember what it was, to be
honest about this is how, by the way,
I always, you know, did you see that
great ad where the guy shot himself out
of a cannon and hit the moon?
Yeah.
Who is the ad for?
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
Cause we had dinner the other night and
Laura Logan came by the neighbor and she
was talking, she, her podcast is actually is,
has gotten a lot better.
Uh, she, she does it regularly.
It's called going rogue with Laura, Laura Logan.
Cause I have no agenda.
No, I'm just kidding.
It's called over Laura and, uh, and it's
right.
She has a producer, which is what she
always needed.
She actually has, um, Luke coffee.
That's one of the J sixers, the guy
who got arrested for praying and holding the
crutch above his head.
Okay.
And he got thrown in jail with 400
days or some crazy amount.
Horrible.
And, uh, so he's producing it.
He's a, he's a cool dude.
He moved out here.
He's producing it.
So the podcast is pretty good.
And she actually does associate ads, you know,
Patriot mobile, that kind of stuff.
I'm like, and she does reasonably good reach.
He's a pro, you know, she knows how
to do that.
And so some other topic of value for
value came up and, uh, and I said,
well, you know, it's like, uh, I can
teach you how to do that and says,
yeah, but I have a real hard time
asking people for money.
It feels like begging and like, that is
exactly the part that you have to get
over because it, because if you don't eventually,
you have to understand that in the advertising
business online, there is no artificial scarcity.
This is all, this is why banner ads
and clicks and all that.
It goes down to fractions of a penny.
It's a race to the bottom because you
don't have a 24 hour clock where there's
only so much time to catch the eyeballs
that are watching this linear medium.
So it was a lot different when there
were only three networks, period TV.
And so now it's like, well, how many,
you know, how many ads do you want?
We can, we can make as many ads
as you want forever because there is no
scarcity.
And before you know it, I told her,
if you're not careful, you're going to be
like Laura Loomer, here's her podcast.
Uh, positive.
It really is an amazing company.
Not only do they have these emergency pet
kits, but, uh, they also have these supplements
here and this is human grade.
Okay.
This is human grade.
And I just want to show you now
I'm going to actually do this live on
air.
So you can see for yourself, okay.
A hundred percent human grade ingredients is what
it says here on the package.
And the ingredients are Alberta grass, finished bison
liver, Alberta grass, finished bison heart, Alberta grass,
finished kidney.
These are the same type of.
Nutrients that you can find in the beef
organs that you purchase for yourself.
These are products that are so healthy and
natural that you could actually eat it yourself.
So you could see here, positive bison.
It's clearly says dog food topper, and I'm
going to put this in my mouth right
now.
Um, it tastes like meat and maybe that
is disgusting to you, but I'll show you
right here, look, this is the bison product
right here.
It clearly says dog food topper.
You can see on camera, it actually tastes
good.
I'm not going to lie.
You know, you know how the meeting went.
That's disgusting.
You know how the meeting went.
Oh, poor Laura Loomer.
Uh, Laura, we have a, we have a
new campaign and we really want to show
people that this is human grade food.
So we'd love, we just love it.
If you could eat some, eat the dog
food.
I'm telling you, that's, that's exactly, that's exactly
how the meeting went.
And Tucker's going to be doing it too.
I promise you, they're all going to be
eating dog food.
That's right.
Yeah.
They're going to be buying gold and eating
dog food.
Well, yes.
The, your Laura, she, uh, it, that is
a problem.
If you don't know how to ask for
money, I mean, churches do it.
PBS does it.
PBS, which is a, nobody calls them a,
you know, a bunch of beggars.
Um, no, they're really, they're very good.
I did tell her the caveat is you
have to have an outstanding product.
If you don't have a good product, it's
pathetic.
She has a good product from what you
say.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
So she could do it, but she doesn't
know how to do it.
She doesn't feel comfortable doing.
This is a real problem with, with people
with pride.
This is a pride issue.
It's not nothing, nothing to do with anything
but pride who I have too much pride
to, to ask for support.
I have too much pride to go to
my neighbor and say, can I borrow a
cup of sugar?
I have too much pride.
I I'm, I'm, I'm too much above it.
This is bad.
And with that, I'd like to say in
the morning to you, the man who put
the pride in begging for money, say hello
to my friend on the other end, the
one, the only Mr. John C.
Devorah.
Yeah.
Good morning to you, Mr. Craney Moneo.
Ships, seaboats on the graphene, the airstubs in
the morning, dames and knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the
troll room.
Let me count you.
2,064 today on the troll countage and
we'll take that for what it is.
Hello trolls.
They are in this Thursday, right?
Yeah, that's good, right?
Yeah.
Average is 18.
Yeah.
So we're, we're doing good way to go.
Trolls bring us two in a row, two
in a row, two in a row.
And this is a big episode for us.
This is episode 1776.
Uh, that represents the, uh, the signing, uh,
of the, uh, uh, declaration, is that declaration
of independence?
This is the formation of the constitution.
No, no.
The constitution came later.
We went through the, we had this declaration
of independence.
Yes.
And then we had the articles of confederation
and that fell apart because no, because of
various reasons, there was all kinds of stuff
because people wanted biblical stuff in there.
And there was all kinds of stuff.
And so they finally brought in the guy,
the key guy, but the people always forget
about the, but the guy who really put
it together was, was John Madison, the little
guy, short guy, little four, I think, petite
male, petite male, who, who was the, was
the brainiac behind the U S constitution.
I mean, there's other guys that contributed, but
he was the, the main go, they all
pledged their fortunes, their sacred honor to this
country.
They did.
And, uh, they had to, they had no
way.
Well, they had no, that's right.
There was no way back and I'm glad
they did.
And we're still here.
And numerology has always been an important part.
I kept trying to explain this at the
dinner said, you can't ask for like, you
know, say, give me $5.
It doesn't work.
You have no idea what people value stuff
at.
People will value your stuff.
You don't know what, what, what they're and
$5 may be a lot.
This is another concept that is lost on
most people.
Who, who use the value for value model
to cook, to, uh, to support their podcasts.
They don't get that.
And I, and it's impossible.
No, they don't get it.
They don't get it.
You can explain it.
You try it.
It's just almost impossible to explain.
The only reason we even came to the
conclusion is because what we started observing by
having open-ended donations at the very beginning
of this podcast, and people would throw in
their favorite number.
Yes.
All kinds of boobs.
Boobs.
Oh, Hey, that was always, it's always my
favorite.
They all laugh.
Ha ha ha.
But I think it's because they themselves don't
want to part with their money.
I think that's part of it.
Like, Oh no, I would never give money
to a podcast.
Well, maybe you're listening to the wrong podcast.
I give money to podcasts all the time.
If they ask for it.
Remember from my wife, the retired from corporate
life, C-suite level communications officer.
The number one reason people don't give money
is because they weren't asked.
You know, you can't just put a PayPal
logo there and say, you got to ask.
Yes.
The old tip jar phenomenon.
Oh, tips.
Yes.
I have a tip jar.
Well, you're going to get tip money then.
Yeah.
Nickel dime quarter.
There was this other couple of this dinner.
Leftover changes in someone's pocket.
There was another couple of the dinner there
from California.
And, um, and I guess she has a
podcast, although it's just, yeah, it's just a,
it's a YouTube and a podcast meetup, YouTube
and rumble.
I said, do you have an RSS feed?
No.
I said, well, that's the first thing you
got to fix.
You need an RSS feed.
And that explained all that.
He says, you know, and, uh, I do,
I do okay with the, with the donations.
I said, well, tell me how you do
it.
Well, I never asked for it myself.
Have someone else do it.
I was like, okay.
And then here come, he came to an
amazing piece of advice from her, from her
accountant who does the books for billionaires, I'm
told don't, don't say their donations.
Don't say that.
My accountant said, you're just a guy sitting
with a box by the side of the
road.
Then that's tax free.
If they give it to you.
And I said, like, really?
What?
Yeah.
I'm like, this was a, uh, was he
a certified public accountant that said this to
you said that makes no, no, no.
As long as you don't call it a
donation.
Oh, please.
Yeah.
I'm like, why don't you just call the
IRS up right now and ask him about
it.
Turn yourself in.
Wow.
It was amazing.
Anyway, if you want to get around the
taxes, you can become a, uh, a nonprofit.
You can become a charity.
You can, you can set it up that
way.
It's a lot more, but it's actually just
for the people out there are podcasters.
I want to know this because this was
researched out by my son.
Yes.
We've done all the research on believe me.
And so if you're a nonprofit taxes, John
has checked it.
Believe me.
Yes.
And the, I, and the, and the, the
key to success is don't pay your taxes.
Just no, don't pay your taxes.
No pay your taxes, but don't try to
evade.
And, and one of the interesting phenomenons that
JC came with some research on this, if
you become a nonprofit, cause you don't want
to pay your taxes, you have to fill
all that extra paperwork, the nonprofits.
Charities.
Well, you can take it off your taxes.
If you donate to us, get less money.
Yeah.
As opposed to the honest working stiffs.
Like the two of us, we take in
taxes, we take in the money and we
pay our taxes.
Yes, we do.
We contribute back to society.
Yes.
So, and we don't get any, any, any
benefits really.
Any.
Ah, so the trolls are in the troll
room.
There's a tooth over 2000 listening.
That's very nice.
And a lot of people are in there.
Uh, true patrols have been quite active today.
Yeah.
Uh, quotes like, I guess the Jew money
came in.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, actually one guy did come in and
say, Oh really?
We did get you money.
Oh, that's cool.
I think so.
Yeah.
There's some Jew money in here.
No, it's just value for value.
And that means that you can support us
any way that you want to with your
time, your talent, your treasure, um, in an
indirect way, the modern podcast app guys are,
are supporting us.
They, you know, they, uh, enable a lot
of functionality that none of these other podcasts
use.
So if you use pod verse or podcast
guru or fountain or cast thematic, all of
these podcasts have all kinds of features in
particular.
The one I liked the most is that,
uh, you get the bat signal and you
can listen to the live stream.
The fact that Apple hasn't done that blows
my mind.
It's like what an obvious way to capture
radio at this very moment is to just
boom, let everybody do their podcast live stream.
You put it right in.
It's like an episode.
It shows up, you get a notification.
I don't know what they're doing over there.
Not invented here.
Probably.
Oh yes.
And I know that is the plague of
Silicon Valley.
Yeah.
And I know they listen and I'm sure
the people in the podcast group are really,
I know a couple of them.
They're really nice people, but they must be
so frustrated hearing me go on about this.
So anyway, yeah, well you do.
Yeah.
Um, we have, uh, contributors in the form
of art, which is a big one for
us because people, uh, you know, they're always
looking forward to, uh, Oh, what's the art
going to be?
What are these guys going to choose?
It's going to be something new.
It looks great on the social media.
And, uh, boy, we picked a doozy for,
we picked a doozy for episode 70, 1775
boomer benefits.
This was, uh, by Joe Baba.
I don't think Joe Baba has been chosen
for anything yet.
But, uh, this was the, uh, the Trump
eating a huge hot dog with Benjamin Netanyahu
looking at him with mouth agape pointing at
him.
And, uh, it got the, it, it had
the desired effect, but a lot of people
were saying, what's that in your mouth.
Other people were like, Hey, I can't wait
to hear this episode.
They might've been disappointed, but, uh, it's a
good episode.
It was.
Yeah.
No, but in, in, you know, like, Oh
yeah.
Yeah.
The Jews are doing it.
Israel, Israel runs the country.
I look at Netanyahu was forcing Trump to
deep throw the hot dog.
Yeah.
That was, we knew all of this would
come up and Tina I'll say, she's a,
Hey, what happened to the rule of no
famous people on the art?
I said, yes, the exception proves the rule.
Exactly.
Right.
Um, we liked it.
Uh, you know, there's not, it liked it
over everything else.
It superseded, uh, the fact that famous people
rule the humor of it and the, just
the, the, the composition, the humor.
Yes.
Uh, it, it went beyond, it usurped the
rules that pushed past.
Yes.
So you can push past if you, if
you're good there right now, you were actually
pushing pretty hard for a moment there on
the pass key from a digital 2112 man.
Because we talked about the past keys.
Remember that?
Yeah, but I thought I was pushing hardest
for the, uh, Chinese thing down below.
Oh yeah.
I did like the past key.
I'm looking at it now.
Yeah, I did.
Cause I thought it was, I just thought
it was artsy and I liked it.
I got a lot of comment on the
past key.
Yeah.
And I understand.
Yeah, I saw.
Yeah, people.
Yeah.
You were, I understand the past key and
I, and since we're just talking about it,
allow me to share bonus content, everybody bone
to see most people.
They only give you a bonus content.
If you pay extra, we just give it
to you before you even thank you for
paying extra.
Does that sound right now?
Um, so past keys is basically like a
Bitcoin secret key.
The, and you store it on your phone
or on your computer.
So from a security standpoint, yeah, it makes
a lot of sense because there's only one
way you can get in and that's with
your past key, which is stored.
But if you lose your past key, you're
screwed.
Or let's say you lose your phone or
your computer blows up.
And so I, I went to my favorite
source for this.
Dave Jones, who has been a CIS admin
for 23 years.
I trust him implicitly.
He says, past keys are better on paper,
better in every way, but in the real
world, they only thwart credential stuffing.
So it's no better than a password manager
on its own, because there's no way for
you to recover.
If you lose access to them, that's the
Bitcoin key ownership problem.
Every website allows you to recover your account
using the having trouble logging in traditional email
verification route, which bypasses the past key.
If someone hacks your email, you are still
fully owned.
Email accounts are still the Achilles heel of
internet security.
I agree.
So past key.
Yeah, I can see where nerds like me,
like, oh, past key is great.
I don't, you know, just use the past
key because I know how to back it
up.
I know where to put it so that
I can retrieve it.
But now you're basically, you're removing the help
desk for people who need it, who have
been taught.
You need to, there's a help desk.
If I can just call somebody, right?
No, you won't be able to call somebody.
So that's past keys.
We've done that.
Now let us think skipping back to the
art.
Oh yeah.
I thought you pay now.
We liked that.
We did like it.
It was too muddy.
Yeah.
That was the problem you paid.
Well, no, the problem was the other pieces
better.
Yeah, that was, that was the ultimate problem.
Oh yeah.
You pay now.
It was washed out.
That's another digital 2112 man piece.
It's like, it's like they put a piece
of film over it.
This is the, the AI art problem, mud,
mud, muddy art, muddy art.
Yeah.
It's no good.
Yeah.
So that one, uh, I was, uh, then
congratulations to, uh, our, uh, relatively new artists
who came in with that.
And he's been around for, he's, he's done
a couple of, it's all AI.
Of course.
It's ruined everything, ruined everything, ruined everything.
Uh, we have a lot of people to
thank because as we explained earlier, uh, numerology
has always been a big thing with the
no agenda crowd and, uh, and get more
nation and we love it whenever, and we
haven't had a great episode number come up
in a long time, probably since a pie
day, even that's a bus these days.
Oh, no, that's been a bus since day
one.
It really was never, never caught on.
But 1776, I mean, come on that that's
everyone understands the significance of the number and
boy did they ever.
So we thank everybody $50 and above.
And, uh, if you support us with 200
or above, just because it's a lot of
money, we love to give you something extra
for that.
No tote bag.
We just give you credit.
It's a credit on the website, credit in
the credits, and you can use that anywhere
credits are recognized like imdb.com because it's
true.
You are then an associate executive producer of
the no agenda show for that episode.
And we will read your note $300 and
above the extra special.
And we, uh, we will, um, read your
note and you get an executive producer account
and we have a number of them.
Not surprising.
And a number of them anonymous.
Yes, this is good.
The spooks came in, the spooks woke up
and came in the anonymous from Charlotte, North
Carolina, 1,776 and 76 cents.
Oh, I had a little, little, little extra
ditty there.
And says, thank you for your courage.
I love it.
The higher the amounts, the shorter the notes.
It's uncanny.
It's uncanny how it works.
Well, let's go to the next anonymous from
parts unknown USA 1776.
And his note is anonymous USA.
He doesn't even say anything.
So I think he gets a double up
karma.
All right.
We'll hand those out.
You've got karma over to Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Plum Tucker 1776.
Please credit me as plum Tucker.
This blows me right past knighthood and into
baronet.
No jingles, no karma, but I will humbly
request a deducing.
Thanks.
And thank you for your courage.
You've been D do nice.
Thank you.
So we got one awesome Jason in Smyrna,
Georgia, 1776.
Great.
And he has actually, actually has a note.
Hi, Adam and John.
I was going to donate earlier and ask
for some jobs, karma for some friends, but
they both got jobs.
So I guess I'll just, I guess it's
just the thought that counts.
I believe this donation brings me to the
level of Viscount and grants me lifetime access
to the no agenda platinum bundle.
It does.
And you get my phone number.
You can text me whenever you want.
Yes.
Actually, Viscounts can text Adam and wine recommendations
from John on the fly.
If you're at, if I'm here and you
want me to check a wine list out,
send me a picture while you're at the
restaurant.
If I'm on does it, he does it.
I do it when I can.
If I'm not, if I'm watching, you know,
something on TV downstairs, I can't female ice
hockey.
Yeah.
I got, no, the female.
Okay.
The female ice hockey from university of Wisconsin,
the girls, uh, at what was it?
West river.
What did I call it?
I don't know.
It's a river, river falls, river falls.
Yes.
They sent me a, a, a, uh, they
sent me a hoodie or a sweatshirt and
I thought of the blue cause they won
two championships in a row in 24 and
25.
Now the monkey comes out of the sleeve.
You were bought off.
I guess.
Well, so I gave him a plug and
then I thought about it and I said,
where's my Florida stuff?
Florida has been that I'd ever heard anything
about the basketball.
Now they won the championship in hockey.
Nothing.
I had two people promised me Florida stuff.
Nothing.
They're just cheap in Florida.
You can figure out why.
So, uh, okay.
So he continues one, one awesome Jason.
Um, he's got his platinum bundle.
You got that.
Keep up the good work.
He writes from four more years, four more
years, just four more years.
Get it.
Yep.
For more years, many more years.
For more years.
I'd like some jobs in relationship.
Currency was jobs anyway.
Thank you for your courage.
If I count a doctor, sir.
Uh, awesome.
Uh, some Jason PhD jobs, jobs, jobs, and
jobs.
Karma.
All right.
Another 1776 from millennial Fred.
Then he sent in a note, which I
have here.
He says, uh, the season's Sylvana, Ohio.
Uh, I requested a one requested night name,
sir.
Millennial Fred two.
If you must have an exit strategy, please
appoint new hosts.
The show must go on.
Well, yeah, that'll be a Darren and Larry.
Of course.
Three, but, and by the way, they'll do
the show, but they have to pay us
a VIG.
You know, we're licensed.
You're just licensed.
Oh yeah.
Three, hopefully leadership change in Iran will result
in a leadership change in Israel.
And I think that's his note.
So, okay.
Thank you very much.
No, no other jingles or karma.
So there you go.
Very strange.
It did the whole packaging by this guy.
Interesting.
Interesting way.
It was in a big envelope with a
cardboard thing with a bunch of little envelopes
with money in the envelopes.
And it was just very, uh, I will
say it was spooky too.
Oh, I hear you.
So there's a, we should have these kinds
of dates more often.
Spooky.
Uh, that was millennial Fred.
Okay.
Now there's the one, so we go from
bad, uh, from good, good to whatever we
have here and I, it's a big, long
note and I haven't have to, you can
read the second half.
Dan Fousey.
Uh, oh yes.
Okay.
And he came in with, uh, 10 3026
and he says he apologizes for the long
note.
Now where's the second half begin now for
my original note.
Oh, okay.
This is, this is future night now.
Night, sir.
Dan night, a lot of nights going on
here of West central Ohio.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douche now.
He'll keep it short.
I was, I started listening about the time
Biden took office.
I had heard John for years on Twitch
and missed his non woke, non, uh, non
flaming liberal point of view.
I wonder what he's, who's referring to there.
I had been struggling for the last few
years, listening to the woke guy and this
week in woke rant about Trump and the
Republicans, I finally couldn't take it anymore.
So I started listening to no agenda since
then.
I haven't missed an episode and haven't listened
to any episodes of that pathetic excuse of
a netcast.
Okay.
Easy, easy, back off.
Thanks for all you guys do.
Uh, and keep up the good work.
I have four more years, a general health
karma for my family.
Jingles.
I got ants and rubble eyes or Sir
Dan of the West central Ohio.
Uh, if approved by the porridge committee, the
porridge committee approves.
Committee says, yes, yes, we approve.
Not a problem.
Here's your ants and rubble eyes are on
the way.
I got ants.
I don't know if he was, you've got
karma.
All right.
Thank you very much.
And we now go to, uh, let me
see.
Uh, this is Steve, Steve Schneider in round
Lake, Illinois, Steve Schneider and round Lake, Illinois,
and he just says, ITM jingles.
What's that in your mouth and hot pockets.
Oops.
Oh, I get it.
Oh, that's cute.
That's cute.
Yeah, I got it.
That's cute.
I like it.
It was very hard.
She in Tigard, Oregon, $1,000 and one
cent.
So that's a nice little, uh, palindrome.
Hello, Adam and John jingles.
The beat beetles.
Yeah.
No.
With this donation.
I become a night of the no agenda
round table.
I'd like to be known as henceforth as
Dr. Sir.
Yeah.
No, uh, Commodore one 28 Commodore one 20.
No one's done that yet.
That's a good one.
Please order a fresh stroopwafel and rare steaks
for the round table.
I kindly request baby incubating karma from my
smoking hot wife, house selling and buying karma
and prayers as Tigard has gotten overly crowded
and my family is growing interesting.
I never knew that.
Thank you for your courage, Dr. Sir.
Yeah.
No Commodore one 28.
Say, yeah.
While you're saying no, you know, you know,
you know, I don't know why you're saying,
yeah, while saying no, you know, you know,
you know, I don't know why you're saying,
yeah, while saying no, you've got karma.
Oh, nice.
Hadn't heard the N-O in a long
time.
Daryl Irons is in Wyoming, Michigan.
Wyoming, Michigan.
$1,000.
LTBFTD.
Long-time boner, full-time douchebag.
Listener, off and on since Adam was on
Twit.
That's a long time ago.
Dedoosh me, please.
You've been dedooshed.
Listener, more nowadays since the media deconstruction is
more than welcome and essential to good mental
health, in my opinion.
Donating for show 1776 seems apt considering the
freedom of thought you two promote and many
support unabashedly.
Hopefully, the PhD will assist me when making
the effort to hit people in the mouth
who want to know the truth of our
life.
Jobs karma for my wife.
And then he says, my thing is spread.
Protect their freedoms.
Wait, wait.
What?
Long-time boner, first-time donor.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Protect their freedom.
That was, okay.
I have that one actually.
Yes.
Protect their freedom.
Trump, I'm going to come.
I didn't have time to, because the spreadsheet
came in very late, so I'm kind of
doing everything on the fly here.
Trump.
Okay.
And then what else does he want?
Rev out.
No conflict.
Okay.
Got them.
Got them all lined up.
Blessings to the show and all involved.
PS, night name, sir.
OGPI of the Great Lakes.
Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal
framework.
We operate under the rule of law and
are accountable for it.
In some countries, secret intelligence is used to
control their people.
In ours, it only exists to protect their
freedoms.
Protect their freedoms.
Yeah, long time for that.
Protect their freedoms.
I'm going to come.
There's no real conflict.
That was that billiard ball guy that was
said that.
Yeah, no, that was, wasn't that Gordon?
No, no, it wasn't.
No, it was his associate.
It was one of the guys that was
in that, in one of the ministers.
Hague, Hague, Hague, Hague.
That's right, Hague.
We used to call him Baldy.
Baldy, yes.
Baldy.
Sir JRE, Joe Rogan experience, but he's in,
this guy's in Boulder City, Nevada.
$1,000.
Good day, gentlemen.
I've been waiting for this show to provide
well-deserved compensation for the product you provide.
I hope this message finds you well.
However, I have some business to tend to
and cannot provide the note.
I wish you fellows to read on the
air due to technical difficulties.
Well, send us some other times, thousand dollars.
You deserve it.
Sir JRE of the mighty Colorado.
Well, that's very nice.
Hold on a second.
There we go.
Next up, we have Sir David, Bel Air,
Texas, 69, 69, 9, 696, 69.
Love that.
Jingles, climb a gate.
It's science.
Rub-a-lizer.
Shout out to Mr. Jefferson for show 1776
on my 69th birthday.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of no agenda.
It brings me to I'm claiming the Texas
Gulf Coast, says Sir David, Fresh Prince of
Bel Air.
To the gate, to the gate, to the
gate.
Shut up already.
It's science.
India, stand by.
33, 33, 33.
Rub-a-lizer out.
Dr. Kiki was well ahead of her time
with the shut up already.
It's science.
She was way before COVID when we all
had to follow the science.
She's kind of a trendsetter and I think
about it.
I guess so.
Michael Johnson in Montello, Wisconsin, 666.67. In
the morning, gentlemen, thank you for your courage
and the amygdala shrinkage.
This donation brings me to knighthood and I
ask that I please be given the title
Sir Michael, Wisconsin Knight of the Pipe.
No request for the roundtable and I have
been reliably informed that the mutton and mead
is top notch.
It is.
It's very good.
Jingle request.
Two to the head.
Little girl, yay.
And Obama, you might die.
Please give a douchebag call out for my
Argentinian brother, Matty P.
Give him the great work.
Sincerely, Michael Johnson in Montello, Wisconsin.
Oh, let me hit that again.
You might die.
Um, Shahil, I mean, Shahil, I mean, Enola,
Pennsylvania, 53328.
Congratulations of show number 1776.
This donation is from the three Amin siblings,
surreal, Sahil and Shefali.
1776.76 times three is 53328.
Whoa.
Now you're talking numerology, anybody.
But please give producer credit to Shefali Amin.
Amin, we've been longtime listeners since the very
first show and want to thank you both
for years of entertainment and excellent media deconstruction.
Could we please have some medical career karma
as all three of us are entering the
final stretches of our training along with whatever
Reverend Manning jingle is most readily available.
Okay, let me find a Manning for you.
Okay, I got a classic Manning for you.
Those are always a household favorite.
Love and light from the Amin siblings.
Okay, so we'll give you what I was
going to say.
You have to put make sure that's a
switcheroo.
It doesn't.
No, it says Shamil says it goes to
Shamil.
Oh, Shefali, Shefali.
Okay, yes, I'll do the switcheroo right away.
That's a show no money shot.
Jesus.
Oh, look at that.
That's a money shot.
Kenan Conway is a money shot.
You've got karma.
Sir Edward in Batesville, Indiana, 376.
Please apply this donation to Mark and Maria,
the most awesome hosts in the universe.
Little siblings there for me.
God bless the USA.
Thank you for your courage, Sir Edward of
Tatton Hall, Baron of flyover countries.
Another switcheroo, actually.
Yep, I have it noted.
That's Sir Mark and Dame Maria of the
Greenwood.
I believe they do.
They do the India, the Indiana meetup.
And they do it.
It's a big, big, big, big show.
They do over there.
They got it.
Commodore G is in Cincinnati, Ohio, 34375.
He just says Commodore G.
So I think that's a double up karma.
You've got karma.
John Albarini, parts unknown, 34003.
Please accept this donation of 34003.
It's been quite a while since my last
donation, but I plan to start a sustaining
donation going forward.
Good man.
This donation brings me to Baron status and
it's acceptable to the if it is acceptable
to the peerage committee, I'd like to claim
the title of Baron Surly.
Get it, Surly.
Rice, President of the United States.
Please continue the great media deconstruction and analysis
that you both provide.
Sincerely, John Albarini, formerly of Gurneyville or Gurnville,

Could I get some stripper names?
R2D2 karma and John's nut fisting story at
the end of the show.
Love you, mean it.
Baron Sir Goon, Lee North, KCK.
I will give you a little bit of
the fisting nuts and some strippers.
Just go for it, John.
Tell us your peeve about the fisting method
of eating snacks on an airplane.
I see this on the airplane and it's
very annoying and I think it will result
in fights breaking out because it's just so
annoying to watch.
Guy takes his bag of peanuts and throws
a pile of them into his palm of
his hand and then he makes a fist
around the nuts.
Straight from Reseda, here she is, Raven.
Give it up.
You've got it.
Oh, man, I miss club 33.
They burn it down.
Yeah, I know.
It was Sir Goon in Overland Park.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I got the wrong one.
You just did Sir Goon.

So be it.
Here's some value.
Why don't you make John say free condo,

Frikandel, broodje gehakt, kapsalon, broodje warm vlies.
Broodje van Blijs.
All the Dutch are cracking up.
Paul Smith is an anchorage elastic.
Hey, wait.
What?
What does it all mean?
Oh, Frikandel is like a Dutch sausage, but
it's filled with pig eyes and ear lobes
and foreskins.
Broodje gehakt is a meatball sandwich.
Broodje van Blijs is a sandwich of ground
beef, raw.
Kapsalon is a barber shop.
And Broodje van Blijs is like kind of
a Dutch pastrami sandwich.
You're welcome.
Paul Smith in Anchorage, Alaska, 333.33. Honky
Tonk Willie says no jingles, just some legal
karma, please.
Family law stuff.
Oh, you got it.
We can take care of that.
You've got karma.
Hallie Porter, H-A-L-L-E-Y,
in Pensacola, Florida, 333.33. Gentlemen, I apologize
for the long delay between donations.
I'm sure the sad puppy has passed away
by now.
I can only blame my cheapskate of a
husband.
He won't even let me send dog food
to the P.O. box.
Well, you haven't got that advertiser yet.
Alas, he may be cheap, but at least
he's a God-loving patriot.
Congrats on show 1776.
What a monumental occasion.
And it's truly an honor to be a
producer for the best podcast in the universe.
Please send Jobs Karma for my husband so
he can keep drinking.
So we can keep donating.
And for jingles, let me have your best
round of America jingles, whatever you want.
Geez, America jingles?
What she said.
I'll have this one.
We are here, hashtag America, near our hashtag
target, soon.
And this is an American moment.
All right, and then Jobs Karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
Okay, we move on to Haley Porter, Pensacola,
Florida, 333333.
Loving patriot.
Congrats on show 1776.
Wait, where am I?
I did Haley Porter.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're on Valentino.

Jingle, a drone again.
Credit change request back to my full name,

Keep up the great work, boys.
A drone again, naturally.
That was the jingle request, a drone again.
All right, we got it.
Kevin Barber in Odessa, Odessa, Florida, 33333.
Your analysis of Israel and the Middle East
strategy in 1774 was amazing.
Thank you.
I've had questions about this for years.
Hot take.
AI used well, hot take.
Hot take.
AI used well is a super useful tool,
and P.S., No Agenda listeners, donating was
super easy.
Just do it.
Oh, that's a good one.
Thank you, Kevin.
Sir Baron John Helmer, Shawnee, Kansas, 333.
And he says, 1776, bitches.
No jingles, no karma.
Sir Baron John Helmer of the Shawnee, Kansas.
Okay, this is, how did I get the
long ones today?
Greg the Welder, good old Greg.
Yeah.
And he is in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and he
gave 333.
And he says, I was punched in the
mouth and called a douche bag by Tom.
Is this the last show?
By Tom Animas.
Yes.
So I require a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
I love this show.
Forget my tardiness.
I love this show and listen to every
episode.
I've punched a few mouths, but a real
donation has passed through.
Thanks for always giving praise to welders.
Yes.
Do we praise welders?
I just tell people to become welders.
Well, that's high praise coming from you.
And other trades on the show.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who
appreciates the love.
Some house-buying karma would be great.
You don't have to read the rest of
the note on the show.
Oh, nice.
But I wanted to make a statement regarding
Senator Mike Lee's public land sale proposal.
I'm an advocate for all public lands.
I'm going to read some of this.
Yeah.
These lands are owned by the American public.
Us, we own them.
I think we had a clip.
I don't know if we ever played the
clip where they're going to sell some public
land.
It amounts to 0.001% of them.
That was me.
Yes.
No, it's 0.75%. Yeah.
Max.
Big deal.
Max.
And they're making a big fuss.
Oh, you're selling the land.
We own the land.
They're managed by the federal government and trusted
for the American people.
These lands are and always will be more
valuable to the American people as wild places
and recreation and resources.
None of it should be sold.
Even 0.075%. Oh, he's against it.
Particularly when proposed by a senator whose top
contributors consist of Microsoft and the Blackstone Group.
You know, this is actually President Trump's proposal
because he wants to build housing on it
and some of it for oil.
But I don't think it'll go for oil
because no one is drilling, baby.
No one's doing new wells.
Don't have to.
No.
So, yeah, there you go.
It'll go towards your medication.
But he goes on to promote these lands
staying with the government.
And so, OK, it's a reasonable position.
That's your position.
You're sticking with it, Greg the Welder.
Jason Edmonds, Johnson City, Tennessee, 317.76. I
see what you did there.
Mr. ITM, John and Adam, please accept this
remittance of 317.76 plus fees.
Your deconstruction is invaluable in the preservation of
my sanity.
Hopefully, this assists you in maintaining your independence.
Oh, yeah, it does.
Of course, it does.
Appreciate that.
Sir Brian Tobiasen in Gardner, Kansas, 3088.
ITM gents, I just noticed that I had
been around.
It's been a year since I donated and
it's unacceptable.
You guys are a major part of my
week, and I can't imagine how incredibly miserable
I'd be without getting my news from, just
getting my news from the M5M.
Thanks for all you do.
And can I please get a jobs cover
for my expansion of my real estate and
architecture photography firm into Columbus, Missouri from Kansas
City?
Any NOAA gender producers who need photos of
buildings in any matter for any purchase can
check out kchomephotography.com.
I do have reasonable travel rates, maybe even
to Tokyo, he says to Duchess Astrid.
Jingles.
Well, they're architects, so they could use a
photographer once in a while.
Yeah, I bet they can.
What's that in your mouth?
Don't trust China and little girl Ye.
Thank you for your courage and hard work
in keeping me and my family sane, Sir
Brian Tobiason, Viscount of Chief's Kingdom.
What's that in your mouth?
Donald Trump, don't trust China.
China is asshole.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Andrew St. Clair, Salem, Oregon, 308.
John and Adam, even with this past, this
and my past donations, my V for V
falls around $1 per show or 33 cents
per hour, which still doesn't feel like adequate
value.
I encourage all producers to do some quick
amygdala math to determine your amount of shows
listened to versus of amount donated.
How much is your brain maintenance worth?
Love you guys.
Heart emoji.
Thank you.
I love that.
Got a heart in there somehow.
Michael Tasler in Urbandale, Iowa, 26322.
He's the first associate executive producer on today's
wonderful show.
250 donation to the show number 1776 to
2026.
Celebrating Independence Day, 250th anniversary, one year early.
De-douche me, please.
Sorry.
Yeah, go ahead.
Sorry.
De-douche him.
You've been de-douched.
Call it the Independence Day donation.
You can run the promotion through the next
year.
No, that's an idea.
Don't give John any ideas.
That was it.
It's running through this promotion, the 1776 promotion,
runs through the 4th of July.
Oh, oh, really?
Oh, okay.
Well, that's good to know.
We move on to Jay Surplus in Greenville,
South Carolina, associate executive producer.
Credit for you with $250.
ITM John and Adam, this Semper Fi donation
was for episode 1775, the year our Marine
Corps came alive.
That's right.
On November 10th, the Marines will celebrate 250
years of honorable and faithful service, but we
don't need parades as we celebrate our birthday
every year.
This donation was a suggestion of my smoking
hot Marine wife who is listening live in
the car with our three human resources.
I was hit in the mouth in 2018,
and, of course, my attempt to be de
-douched on Sunday broke PayPal.
I won't take so long to donate again.
Yes, it did break PayPal.
I'm going to de-douche you again.
You've been de-douched.
Thank you for the best podcast in the
universe.
Jingles, Judge Jeanine, bomb them, and Obama, you
might die.
In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb
them, and then bomb them again.
You might die.
Yes, that's right.
Yeah, I think some of these donations were
from last week.
Could be.
Because we had that cutoff at 3 o
'clock.
Oh, yes.
Sean Holman, no relation, in Noblesville, Indiana, I
don't think, 2-19-11.
John and Adam, your deconstruction is Biblical Ephesians
6.12-13.
Ah, the full armor of God.
The full armor of God.
Resist we much in the evil day.
Maria Goretti, pray for us.
St. Maria Goretti.
Oh, I missed, where does it say, oh,
okay.
ST, yes, okay.
But resist we much.
We must and we will much about that
be committed.
And Eli the Coffee Guy is in Bensonville,
Illinois, comes in with 2-17-76, 2
-17-76, best show number ever.
An early happy Independence Day to all.
Just remember those that rebelled against the British
crown did so over unjust laws and taxation
that was a fraction of the burden we
have today.
Let us celebrate the spirit of those that
fought for our liberation this July 4th.
And this is a guy who does not
celebrate Juneteenth, people, I'll tell you that.
On the 249th birthday of this great nation,
coffee became the drink of America because the
English drank tea.
Do the patriotic thing.
Brew coffee.
Grab a bag of gigawatt and start your
morning right.
Thank you for your courage and stay caffeinated,
says Eli the Coffee Guy, gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.
So there's a little anomaly in the narrative
about taxation without representation.
We're being overtaxed.
And the American Revolution is one of the
things I studied when I was in school.
And there's an irony to it.
We actually weren't being overtaxed.
What had happened was King George and this
really just completely, the American Revolution completely baffled
King George III because of all the bitching
about taxation.
He had lowered the taxes.
He had actually lowered the taxes on the
colonies, but put an enforcement group in to
collect the taxes.
We weren't paying the taxes.
And it was actually having to pay the
taxes that got everybody riled up.
And, of course, baffled him.
Well, I lowered the taxes, and now what
are they all pissed off about?
Well, that's interesting.
Unintended consequences.
Okay, where are we?
I'm on Rick Bunch.
I got lucky on this one.
Yes, Rick Bunch.

Please credit me as Kevin Redacted.
Okay, we did that.
This donation takes me to Knighthood Accounting.
In email, I'd like to be knighted as
Sir Kevin Redacted from the Redacted Mountains of

For the round table, I'd like some Kona
coffee and cannabis.
Okay.
That has been ordered for you.
All right.
Anything else?
No, that was it.
Then Sir Ulrich, Wiener Neustadt, Austria.
All right.
Yeah, we're getting more Austrians.
That's great.
Okay, hold on.
Let me see.
I'm going to get his jingles lined up.
All right.
Thank you for your courage.
Keep up the excellent work.
Your show is getting better and better.
Please add my smoking hot Spanish girlfriend to
your birthday list.
She celebrated on the 21st of June.

Oh, goodness.
Okay.
I understand exactly what this is.
I don't get it.
Yeah.
I got them all.
Unfortunately, my brain is just as twisted as
theirs.
I just got to up the volume.
Yeah.
He's in Oakland.
Oaktown.
All right.
Does he need anything else besides this?
No, that's it.
Okay.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.

Well, he's vibe coding from the no agenda.

Oh, very good.
Yeah, that's the way to do it.
Thank you for reading this novella I sent
before launch.
I was half convinced you torched me for
the length.
You mean this lousy length?
But you were both gracious and supportive.
We were?
Which meant a lot to a broke founder.
Oh, he's a broke founder running on nerves
and espresso.
Oh, poor guy.
Broke.
No wonder.
Detang is less buggy and better than ever.

But this is a guy in a deep
hole.
Yeah, he's IG model, Instagram model.
That's what it is, IG model.
You got to get out of that hole,
buddy.
But I did find mine when my head
went through my co-founder's kitchen cabinet a
couple of weeks ago.
I'm going to snap him out of it.
Luckily, I was only blind temporarily.
I guess we won't fast-track voice mode
quite yet.
And I got to learn how to appreciate
things like seeing the sunrise again.
Okay, he talks about the V4V model.
Here's what he says.
He says, after a couple of months of
A-B testing, all sorts of ads on
a very limited budget, I can confidently say
the NOAA Gender Show was by far the
best-performing per dollar spent.
Oh, yeah, of course.
With the best retention and most gracious early
users.
Not a single one sandbagged our App Store
rating, even with all the bugs they ran
into.
While we might not have quite the budget
I had hoped for, I'll do my best
to keep the ad spend flowing to my
favorite podcasts.
While we do our best to couple up
the NOAA Gender Nation, download Dataing, D-A
-T-I-N-G, AI matchmaker on iOS,

what this was.
This is a very elaborate ad.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd say.
Dataing, I would go for a different name.
Yeah, I'm not exactly all in on this
Dataing.
It sounds Chinese.
Thank you very much to these executive and
associate executive producers and PhDs-to-be.
Thank you very much for your incredible graciousness
and what is the word I'm looking for?
Generosity.
Generosity, thank you.
That's the word I was looking for.
We appreciate it so much.
We know you love the numbers.
This really helps the show through some of
those slower times.
And, of course, everybody can support us.
This 7076 promotion remains throughout July 4th, as
it should be.
Go to noagendadonations.com, and we will be
thanking people $50 and above in our second

Shut up, slave.
Before we go too far into any new
topics, I want to get these two clips
out of the way.
Okay.
Because this is news that nobody's covering.
All right.
We'd love that.
Are you familiar with the Voice of America
scandal?
Scandal?
Why, no.
Of course you know.
Why would you be?
I know nothing about the Voice of America
scandal.
I thought everybody was fired.
What are they still doing there?
Well, a lot of people just disappeared.
It turns out that the Voice of America
and that whole operation run by, you know,
whoever, was a Chinese spy ring.
No.
Well, listen to the clips.
Spies, lies, and mismanagement.
That was the title of this Wednesday's House
Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the U.S.
Agency for Global Media.
The Trump administration has denounced the infiltration of
foreign adversaries into the Voice of America, which
once was a beacon of democracy for the
world.
Over the past 15 to 20 years, the
agency has become a significant national security risk.
They hire a shockingly high number of foreign
nationals, and they conduct subpar security vetting.
So bad that top intelligence agencies revoked this
agency's ability to do even the most basic
background checks.
Lawmakers pointed out the undercoverage and self-censoring
of content covering the Chinese Communist Party.
Forced organ harvesting where 50,000, 70,000
young people, average age 28, get their organs
taken.
They're Uyghurs.
They're Falun Gong practitioners.
That the past leadership of VOA, Mandarin Language
Services, conducted annual meetings with the Chinese embassy
in Washington.
Trump administration senior advisor Carrie Lake alerted lawmakers
of over 500 of Voice of America's personnel
who have disappeared since her audits began.
Many who actually provided false information to be
credentialed and received visas to work in the
U.S. Wow, this is good.
Where is the news media?
Where is the M5M on this story?
This is a great story.
Nah, they're too busy.
Too busy.
Other things.
The daddy thing.
Yeah, the daddy thing.
Yeah, that's really important.
The daddy thing.
Exactly.
It's part two of this.
And Carrie Lake, senior advisor at the U
.S. agency for global media, testified at a
House hearing today.
She's described the challenges the agency has been
facing from attempts at foreign influence.
Our Washington correspondent Luis Eduardo Martinez has more
on this story.
However, it's clear that USAGM cannot continue to
operate as it has in recent times.
Drastic measures have to be taken to ensure
that every taxpayer dollar works for where those
dollars come from.
The American people.
Not Xi Jinping.
Not Vladimir Putin.
Not the Ayatollah.
And one of VOA's television editors even publicly
pledged his allegiance to the PRC, that VOA
allowed the communist Vietnamese and Chinese embassies in
D.C. to pressure them into removing videos,
cutting short live interviews, or changing story angles.
Democratic lawmakers questioned the Trump administration's foreign policy
and even revived debates over the 2020 elections
in the U.S. First, I'd like to
address President Trump's recent strike on Iran's nuclear
facilities, an action taken without consulting the committee
or securing congressional authorization.
You have, to this day, refused to acknowledge
that President Trump lost the 2020 elections.
The U.S. agency for global media has
an annual budget of $950 million, a budget
that has consistently grown over the past decade,
opposite to global trends of news outlets that
are decreasing in budget and modernizing their operations.
Reporting from Washington, D.C., Luis Eduardo Martinez.
$950 million.
Can you believe that?
Yeah.
That's a billion, baby.
For Chinese propaganda.
Unbelievable.
Wow.
And who was running that show?
Well, there was that board of governors.
You had some people that you know their
names.
Well, Tucker Carlson used to run it.
His dad, that is.
Yeah, yeah.
Broadcast board of...
Let me see who most recently was on
the broadcast board of governors, because they are
no good.
Well, of course, now the website has Carrie
Lake up there.
We'll have to go to the Wayback Machine
probably and get some details.
This is a scandal of epic proportions that
is not being covered at all.
Yeah, and you'd think Carrie Lake would be
all over this.
Well, she is.
She's the one that brought it up.
Well, I know, but she's not getting the
ink that she deserves.
No, you'd think that she would be able
to, but she's not.
Here we go.
Kenneth Jarin, Democrat.
Kathleen Matthews, she is public affairs officer for
Marriott International.
Okay.
Michelle Guida, American business person, former government official,
Republican.
Jamie Fly, American media executive president and chief
executive officer of Radio Free Europe and Liberty.
That's the guy who, by the way, looks
like a...
Marco Rubio was also on that.
He's got to be called out.
He needs to definitely be called out.
Oh, no, he's new.
He got January 21st.
No, he came in with Carrie Lake.
He came in with Carrie Lake, yeah.
Okay, well, he's probably part of the reason
that got busted out.
Who's this Jamie Fly guy?
Where is he from?
Council on Foreign Relations, German Marshall Fund, Republican
National Committee.
The German Marshall Fund, we have talked about
them in the past.
It's some sort of a very sketchy, spooky
operation.
Senior fellow and co-director, Alliance for Securing
Democracy.
Oh, in August 2023, he started at Palantir
Technologies full time as a senior consultant.
There's Palantir.
Whitney Webb, get on this guy.
There's something wrong with him.
Yeah, so, yeah, you ask me why the
news media isn't covering that, because they're too
busy covering stories like this, which is plagiarism.
Meanwhile, President Trump now sharing a video online
that's raising eyebrows.
ABC's Lionel Moyes begins our coverage.
Overnight, with a fragile ceasefire between Israel and
Iran appearing to hold, President Trump sharing a
video on his social media account featuring a
parody song about bombing Iran.
The video showing American B-2 bombers and
including a lyric about putting Iran's supreme leader
in a box.
It comes as the White House pushes back
on early intelligence that indicates Saturday night's bombing
only set Iran's nuclear program back by a
few months.
It's exactly the same.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's how it works.
Yeah.
Do we get any credit?
No.
Yeah, credit?
Hello?
No.
Zero.
Zero credit.
No.
It's because we're not.
We're not what?
We're not.
I don't know.
It's like we're a secret agency.
Let's see.
I have one distressing clip to play.
A distressing clip.
Okay.
Well, we have to.
Which brings me to this.
It could have been brought up during the
milieu conversation because there's a milieu issue obviously
involved here.
If you listen to the whole clip.
Have you heard about the five?
Another story that nobody's paid.
It's just a local story.
It's a great story.
It should have been picked up nationally.
About the fifth graders trying to kill one
of the girl's boyfriends.
No.
Fifth graders.
Oh, God.
And where is this taking place?
These murders?
Arizona.
Let's listen.
Just end him.
That was the goal of a group of
10 and 11 year old girls who surprised
police say wanted to kill a boy at
school.
The motive, he's accused of cheating on one
of them, so she wants him dead.
The murder plot was simple.
According to the police report, four fifth grade
students at Legacy Traditional Schools, West Surprise Campus,
planned to lure a classmate to the charter
school's outside bathroom and stab him in the
stomach.
And each girl had a role to play
to get away with it.
One would bring the knife.
Another would forge a suicide note to make
it seem like he took his own life.
And someone would act as a lookout while
the other carried out the stabbing.
And to avoid fingerprints on the murder weapon,
they would wear gloves.
Documents say the friends came up with the
plan during lunch and recess on October 1st.
Legacy administrators worked with the school resource officer
to investigate when students who overheard the plot
came forward.
The next day, their backpacks were searched and
the suspects were individually questioned with their parents
present.
All four children were then arrested for threatening
and disorderly conduct misdemeanor charges.
The police report says three of the students
showed remorse, but the fourth would smile and
laugh while making excuses for their actions.
I blame TikTok.
I can blame TikTok, but there's also one
of them.
The one that's smiling and laughing is a
psycho.
This is well known in certain environments where
you have gangs that have a psycho leader
who leads these other dummies to follow them
because they're nuts.
This was a terrible story.
What is wrong with today's editors?
This is a story that should be all
over the place.
And no, you're hearing it on no agenda.
It's got headline written all over it, baby.
If it bleeds, it leads.
It's great.
It's dynamite.
I have a boots on the ground I'd
like to share because it's just one of
those things.
We keep talking about Soros, the old Soros
who's practically dead and the Alex Soros.
Oh, Alex Soros did take over.
Well, the minute he married Huma Abedin, we
already knew something was wrong.
But listen to this.
Good evening.
I hope you are well.
I hope this note finds you well.
I love your show.
I've been listening for a long, long time.
I donate when I'm able.
This is about Alex Soros.
He was a student in my ninth grade
algebra class in Westchester County, New York, when
I taught there.
I had to have him removed for his
behavior, particularly his propensity to eat pencils in
class.
This was a small private school.
What?
Particularly his propensity to eat pencils in class.
This was a small private school, as you
can imagine, he would go to.
Even in a small class, he was difficult
to handle.
Before removal, I had a parent-teacher conference
with George and his young wife.
The conference was about the behavior, of course,
but Dad did not say much.
He mainly grumbled in a low voice.
That's him talking, by the way.
That's him talking.
Alex was certainly not dumb, and he knew
a hell of a lot about socialism.
For a rich kid.
I chaperoned him and several others on a
trip to Spain.
Oh, my God, the longest two weeks of
my life.
I will end with this.
I liked Alex very much.
He was bright, funny, but wow, what a
nutty child.
Thank you for reading if you're able to
get this.
That's a great boots on the ground right
there.
Top of the line.
He's a pencil eater.
What does that say?
What does that say about the psychology?
We must have a few head shrinkers out
there that can tell us.
Yes.
What does it say about a child who
eats pencils?
Grok.
A child eating pencils may be exhibiting PICA.
P-I-C-A.
A condition where someone craves or consumes non
-food items like wood, graphite, or erasers.
This can stem from sensory-seeking behavior, developmental
stage, stress or anxiety.
There you go.
Well, risks, choking or intestinal blockage.
Yeah, duh.
Okay, thanks, AI.
Well, I'm sure we have.
You're right.
I'm sure we have someone out there who
can tell us about children who eat pencils
and their evil parents with their young wives.
So our buddy Roundy.
Yes.
Have you seen his latest Edgar the Puppet?
No, I love Edgar the Puppet.
I wish he still did art for us
because, man, do we need it.
Tell me about his latest.
So Edgar the Puppet, I think, is well
-known.
It's the insult comic dog, only funnier.
Yes, a lot funnier.
But he doesn't have a catchphrase for me
to poop on.
He needs a catchphrase.
Yeah, actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea,
but people should go check this one out.
He went to the gay parade.
In D.C.? I think so, yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
And so I only have a couple of
clips from it, but this is the way
it goes.
He starts right away with a top.
And by the way, he told me that
because he was insulting the gays, basically, to
insult people.
Yes.
That's what he does.
He says everyone was really nice.
So I wanted to make that clear.
No one tried to punch him out, which
surprises me.
Right.
All right.
So he got this woman right at the
beginning who was just some non-binary chick
or guy, and you can't even tell.
But he starts off with a bang with
this.
Did he ask her what's wrong with her?
Name your diseases in 10 seconds.
All of them?
Yes.
Okay, so I've got dermatillomania, I've got endometriosis,
fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis.
Do I have to do the mental ones
too?
Yes.
Okay, absolutely.
Hit me hard.
Schizophrenia?
No, actually.
Borderline personality disorder.
Major depressive disorder.
Generalized anxiety disorder.
ADHD, in case that wasn't obvious.
And a stutter.
In June, the world has been taken over
by Pride Month, and all the other holidays
are taking a backseat.
Wow, that person is Cluster B.
That's how he just summed it up right
there.
Cluster B personality.
Wow.
Yeah, so this is the whole thing, and
there's a little follow-up, which is not
as funny, but it's just to give you
a sense of it.
People should go find this video and watch
it.
Even Santa has got a sideline gig working
security.
It's time for the World Pride Parade.
They've gayified everything.
Yay!
Hi, buddy.
Every gender is gathered, all 1,000 of
them.
Then he gets away with it.
That's pretty cool.
But he needs a catchphrase.
He needs a catchphrase.
I agree.
Here's the catchphrase.
That's fake and gay!
You should do that, something like that.
You almost have his voice.
Ah!
I've got another career going here.
I'm getting there.
Hey, man.
You'll be doing the voiceover work for a
cartoon company.
Give me some TikToks.
I need some TikToks to round out this
very stressful show.
What are the TikToks?
All right, yeah, we do have to get
to the end, because my tip of the
day is a little longer than usual.
I thought you already gave your tip of
the day.
How to recognize a lesbian.
We can call it that if you want.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
A couple dudes.
Dudes?
With anti-Trump rants.
Oh, number one.
Dear MAGA, you are traitors to our country.
And your golden god is a treasonous pig.
And you will pay for the crimes you
have committed against our country.
I can reassure you of that.
Now, I'm not going to be the one
that's doing this.
I'm not going to.
The courts, the world, are going to hold
you accountable.
Because, you see, you are terrorists.
And what you have done here by supporting
this man and this illegal act of war
in Iran, it's going to have massive consequences.
But I know that I'm on the right
side of history.
And I know that there are millions, millions
more of us that are on the right
side of history.
And just like those filthy fucking Nazis, you
will be wiped.
And I can't wait for it.
I cannot wait for it.
I cannot wait for the marshals to come
in and arrest all of them.
And they will.
I stole this election.
They did it with Elon's help.
And they will take all of his money.
All of it.
It's going to be the greatest thing to
ever happen in America.
And it will be because of President Trump.
And it will be great.
He'll make America great again by sacrificing his
existence in a federal prison for the treason
he's committed against our country.
Cluster B is not reserved for women.
That's the point of these two clips.
It's not just a bunch of nutcase women.
You got these guys out there.
So are you happy, Vaga?
I'm sorry, this is part two.
This is the second guy.
So are you happy, Vaga?
You happy?
Happy now!
You happy?
You voted for the criminal?
Because now he's a war criminal, too.
He just, without provocation, attacked a foreign nation.
Without congressional approval, too, by the way.
Something that I'm pretty sure is illegal.
But he attacked a foreign nation without provocation,
which does make him a war criminal now.
And you voted him in.
And he says, in his little truthiness thing
that he's got, that he wants peace now.
You think there's going to be peace when
he attacked a foreign country without provocation?
You think the Iranians and the Russians and
all their other allies are just going to
sit down and let this happen?
Because we've got a big military, a big
military that doesn't have enough people in it.
There are slots in the Navy that haven't
been filled for almost a decade in some
places.
We've got a third of our ships sitting
in docks that need to be serviced, but
we don't have enough people to service them.
But yeah, let's go to war.
Let's go to war against a nation that
did nothing to us.
Good job, MAGA.
Are you happy?
Now, the real question is, is Mike Johnson
going to do anything about this?
Because the war crime just happened, and he
should be impeached.
And Mike Johnson should be starting that process
right now.
Is he?
Of course not.
Not a chance in his evangelical bullshit prosperity
Bible hell.
I'm so glad I'm too old.
My kids are too young to go into
the military.
But how many of yours aren't?
You're about to get the call up.
Good luck.
Does not age well, of course.
No, it doesn't age the next day.
He forgot to throw in the seven mountain
strategy.
That would have been perfect.
He needed to add that.
Yes.
You know what?
I'm going to ask Rob, the constitutional lawyer,
to write an essay of 400 words or
less about the legality of President Trump's strike
on Iran.
And I know we had dinner at Rob
and Maggie's house up in Canyon Lake.
That guy, he builds his own electric guitars.
He's got about 20 of them.
Oh, really?
He cooks a magnificent lasagna.
And I'm a lasagna connoisseur, I might say.
And he has a 1961 fire red T
-Bird convertible in his garage that belonged to
his grandmother, completely mint.
I mean, you could eat the lasagna off
of the engine.
And he's a lawyer.
It's pretty amazing.
A lawyer we all like.
So far.
So far, exactly.
You never know.
We've got some fresh and some classic Iran
end of show mixes coming your way, ones
you might not have heard in a while.
We've got quite a lot of nights.
We've got PhDs.
We've got title changes.
We've got birthdays.
John's tip of the day.
But first, John's going to thank our supporters
for Episode 1776.
$50 and above.
Starting with Melody.
Melody.
Melody Hawley in Tucson, Arizona.
18702 is her birthday.
66th birthday to her husband, Knight John.
Protector of the pocket protectors.
All right.
So we've got that.
Ben Sterling in College Station, Texas.
That's somewhere down there.
17760.
Dude named Ben.
I don't know if he said anything there.
We want to do anything for him?
No.
What, Ben Sterling?
Yeah, he's the dude named Ben, defender of
megawatts.
Protector of the electric grid.
He gives all the boots on the ground.
He's only asked, if you don't mind, everybody
to check out Two Good Old Boys with
me and Gene.
They got their own podcast.
Oh, that's right.
Yes, yes.
Just some good old bars.
Yep, that show.
Sarcastic, the Nomad in Skagen, Denmark.
17760.
And 17760 is a good one.
That's a 1776 donation taken to the dimes.
Curtis Kuhl in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
17760.
Yeah, and he...
There's a knighting, so you have to read
it.
Hey, I hope this message finds you well.
Thank you for your attention.
Did this matter?
Who needs new CV axles?
Take my Christian Cash and knight me.
Please knight me, Sir Curtis of the Kuhl,
K-U-H-L.
Protector of the gap and I-80 road
warrior.
But wait, there's more.
Regarding the immigration conversation lately, I want to
mention something called Parole in Place, in case
it could be useful for someone out there.
It's a rule created under Obama, no homo,
I'm just reading what he says, that allows
active duty and veterans to sponsor a non
-citizen spouse who's already in the continental U
.S. Why is this important?
It prevents the non-citizen spouse from having
to return to his or her country of
citizenship to finalize the green card process, meaning
it's all handled domestically and eliminates the international
travel part of the process.
Results may vary.
Consult your immigration attorney and ask if Parole
in Place is right for you.
Random question.
You've talked about the happy three-by-three
music before, but I've been wondering if the
outro music and then it's cut off.
It's Herb Albert.
I know that.
That may be the answer.
Okay.
And he will be knighted.
I do not know about Parole in Place.
That's a good tip.
Another tip.
Nicholas Voss in Bayside, New York, 177.60.
He needs a de-douching.
Hold on a second.
De-douching.
You've been de-douched.
There he is, David Fugazotto.
Hey, that's right.
The Duke of Saudi Arabia.
That's right.
And the American hotline.
Gladstone, Missouri, 176.60. Minister Kat in Austin,
Texas.
You know Minister Kat?
Yes.
150.
I've seen his email.
He has something fantastic that will change the
world.
So I will reply.
Anonymous 100.
See attached note.
When somebody goes to the trouble of sending
a check and a note, sometimes I'll read
the note.
Sometimes.
Sometimes you will.
Let's see if I can find a note.
Page 2.
John and Adam, thank you for the mind
-expanding sanity.
I dealt with breast.
Is this the one?
Yeah.
I dealt with breast cancer for much of
23-24.
And I'm sure that it was your show
that kept me strong, sane, and filled with
hope.
Well, I wish we could take credit.
I'll be turning 60 on 6-27.
And what better way to celebrate this year
of the snake, Chinese, and all of the
shedding of skin than by making a donation.
Thank you again.
Anonymous.
Oh, that's a beautiful note.
Thank you.
Glad everything's good now.
Yeah, we're happy.
Sirloin in Winterhaven, Florida, 8-0-0-9.
Wait, we have a Carolyn Costa.
Oh, I have Carolyn's note here.
Yes.
Another one.
She wrote a note on a card, a
very pretty card, nice card.
Here is my second value for value contribution.
She has nice handwriting.
You can't read.
I don't know if you know what that
means.
She continues, your discussion of some baby formula.
Ah, baby formula.
It was 1953.
My mother was told in no uncertain terms
that it wasn't great to feed.
You should choose modern formula, baby formula.
By the doctors, of course.
Yes, of course.
By the way, I've got an essay I'm
going to do on this.
Do you remember the, I don't know if
you remember this, I sure do, where every
kid ended up having to get a tonsillectomy.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
Yeah.
Not me.
I never got one.
Nope.
I still got my tonsils.
My tonsils be happy.
The experts reason that nature had put breasts
on women for a reason and used.
Hers.
That's about it.
Okay.
I can read this, so let me just.
I don't know how you can read it,
but okay.
Okay.
Told in no uncertain terms that breastfeeding was
passe and modern formula was much better.
Luckily for me, my mother was smarter than
the experts and reasoned that nature had put
breasts on women for a reason and used
hers for that purpose.
That's right.
Great shows.
Now always fun and educational, Carolyn says.
All right.
Thank you, Carolyn.
Yeah.
The breasts are there for a reason.
Sirloin, Winterhaven, Florida, 8009.
He claims a PayPal fee made it 8009.

Carl Vogler in Dillon Beach, California.
Ed Warner in Bow, Washington.
I've never heard of it.
Joseph Waltzer in El Paso, Texas.
And he's on the birthday list for his

And he wants us to tell his niece,
Charlotte, how dare you?
Okay.
John Hawley in Blaine, Minnesota.
Jacqueline Lentz in Muskego, Wisconsin.
Nepal Plummer in Rexburg, Idaho.
Brian Kaufman in Scottsdale, Arizona.

You've been de-douched.
He says he just found time for podcasts
after retiring from his 30-year career in
semiconductors.
Oh.
You are now boots on the ground.
Your analysis is spot on, especially the Euro
news.
Okay.
Well, telling us nothing that we don't know.
Three graphics in Cottonwood...
Three graphics, three.
The number three graphics in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
And the 60-33 in Diamond Star, thank
him for hitting him in the mouth.

Priscilla Rubio in Norwalk, California.
Thanks for keeping us sane.
And last on our list here, Sir Greg
in Newport, North Carolina.
I want to thank these people for making
the show 1776 a huge success.
And I did get a note that I
need to share because we've done this wrong
several times, including episode 693 where we keep
talking about the origins of the double nickels
on the dime.
And he says, hey, you incorrectly credited Sergeant
Fred with a double nickels on the dime
donation.
And he forwarded his note from February 9th,
2015.
I wanted to set the record straight.
I actually created the 55-10 donation.
This is Tom Bushey back in 2010.
I think it's actually one of the longest
-running producer-created donations on the show, way
longer than Swazilov or 9er, 9er, 9er, 9er.
I take a certain amount of pride in
this donation as well as my knighthood that
I eventually achieved almost exclusively by making double
nickels on the dime donations.
Okay.
So, thank you very much.
This came from who?
This came from Tom Bushey, Bushey, B-U
-S-H-E-Y, Tom Bushey.
Make sure we credit him.
Yes, we will remember Tom Bushey.
No, we won't.
He's going to have to send another note,
and I think you can keep sending notes
and we'll keep reading them.
Thank you all very much.
You've got karma.

You have one ISO, that's it?
Yeah, play your three and I'll play mine.
I mean, I'll push mine if you got
a good one.
I don't know.
Let's listen.
Your job is to tell the people of
the world the truth about America.
Too long.
That's too bad.
Here's one from Trump.
The biggest load that we've seen.
I think this is the one.
That's a good one for the regular clips,
though.
How about this one?
And I'm going to put this in my
mouth right now.
You talked over it.
Play it again.
I'm sorry.
I'm doing Trump.
And I'm going to put this in my
mouth right now.
That's gross.
And I'm going to put this in my
mouth right now.
That's Laura Loomer, baby.
All right.
That's from the dog food.
Yes, it is.
Okay, I got an AI one that I
liked.
These two guys are great.
Am I right?
Oh, man, that's not even halfway natural.
Am I right?
These two guys are great.
Am I right?
You should put two question marks in your
prompt.
I don't know, man.
Okay, well, next time I'll do that.
The biggest load that we've seen.
I like that one the best, honestly.
But up to you.
You choose.
Wait, the biggest.
Well, I'd like it because it's one that
we should keep in the rotation for regular
use because it would follow dumps, big dumps.
In fact, why don't you do that right
now?
Dumps, big dumps.
Then play that.
Okay, hold on a second.
Dumps.
Where is the Trump?
We have it.
Yeah, we have.
No, we have.
We're getting there.
Here we go.
I got it.
Okay, I got it here.
Dead air.
They did dumps.
They call them dumps.
Big, massive dumps.
The biggest load that we've seen.
All right.
Which one do you want?
I'll take the Trump one.
Okay, there you go.
And now, everybody, it is time for your
top of the day.
It's your tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCB.
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Brunetti.
All right, so this is going to be,
I'll have the recipe in the next newsletter.
Get on the newsletter.
Yes.
I'm going to, this tip of the day
is to use, if you're going to cook
rice, use Basmati rice.
Learn how to cook it.
I think we've discussed Basmati rice.
We have discussed it, but not as an
official tip of the day.
No, 2011 even, yes.
The actual tip is always, I have a
couple of brands I like.
Fawn brand is a good one.
They have a Sella, which means Sella means
it's been parboiled.
But wait, now explain.
Why should we be cooking Basmati rice?
Why do we need to learn this?
What is the tip?
It's because it's a fabulous product is the
reason.
Once you start cooking Basmati rice, you know
what you're doing.
You will never cook other rice.
You just say, screw it.
I'm not going to bother with it.
But you have to understand a couple of
things, which will be in the recipe, but
I'll mention it here.
But first of all, the tip is Pakistani,
not Indian.
Oh, boy.
This is a cultural issue.
Yes, it is.
And for good reason.
The Pakistani product is superior and a lot
cleaner.
You buy Indian Basmati, you will be rinsing
it forever.
Are you saying Indians are dirty?
I'm saying the rice is.
Okay.
And if you can find it, some of
it comes out of Bangladesh, but I've seen
some out of Pakistan.
Baby Basmati.
Wow.
That's a rice.
But it's hard to come by.
You can get it on the West Coast
here and there.
But baby Basmati is even the best.
The two brands I like are regular Basmati
or Thon and Zebra.
But there's lots of good brands if they're
from Pakistan.
So do I smell a new book coming?
Yes, it's the Dvorak Family Cookbook.
Oh, this one will actually happen because Jay's
involved and Mimi's involved.
The Dvorak Family Cookbook.
Wow.
When can we expect this, Jim?
Pretty soon.
Any minute now.
Well, I'm not going to make promises, but
it's almost done, actually.
I have Rachel, the copy editor, lined up.
Oh, that's excellent.
I'm so happy for you.
But anyway, so Pakistan Basmati is what you're
looking for, and skip the Indian stuff.
And the last thing I'll say, it's a
boiled rice.
If you see a recipe telling you how
to cook it and they don't tell you
to rinse it a lot, they don't know
what they're doing.
If you have a recipe to tell you
to cook it, one-half cups of water,
one cup of rice, they don't know what
they're doing.
Throw that recipe out.
It's a boiled rice.
You boil it in a pile of water,
lots of water, and you pour the water
off when it's cooked.
You don't boil it like Chinese rice, where
you got the one-and-a-half cups
or a cup or this or that.
Bullcrap.
There it is, everybody.
A very clear tip of the day.
Great advice from you and me.
Just a tip with JCB.
And sometimes Adam.
Wow.
Created by Dana Burnetti.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
You're getting in everybody's face there about the
rice.
This is a tremendous tip.

That brings us to the end of this
very patriotic episode, 1776.
Thank you, everybody, for supporting the show with
your value for value.
We love you.
We really do.
Coming up next, we have a walk through
the mind.
Poverty as a mindset.
It's Billy Bones.

End of show mixes we have.
Hugh Allison with a very timely end of
show mix, which he actually put out just
two weeks before the Iran 12-Day War.
David Kechter with a classic, and Sir Michael
Anthony with a classic as well.
And we look forward to seeing y'all
on Wednesday.
Until then, coming to you from the heart
of the Texas Hill Country right here in
Fredericksburg in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where everybody says
1776, I'm John C.
Dvorak.
We return on Sunday.

Until then, adios, mofos, hui, hui, and such.
It's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's always a couple weeks away.
Well, that's just for the goo.
It'll take much longer to package it into
a missile.
They keep changing the target.
A week away, a week away, a couple
weeks away.
For years.
For a decade.
A week away, a week away, a week
away, a week away.
A week away, a week away, a week
away, a week away.
Nuclear.
Now they are only days or weeks away
from having enough uranium goo.
However, Milley says it will still take quite
a period of time to package that into
a missile.
If Israel sends a couple of missiles over,
they're not going to get anything.
A week away, a week away, a week
away, a week away.
A week away, a week away, a week
away, a week away.
The nuke beam.
A week away, a week away, a couple
weeks away.
For years.
For a decade.
It could be better than NPR.
But if I were the president, I would
inform the threatening country, in this case Iran,
that if you do anything to harm this
person, we are going to blow you or
yourself to smithereens.
...to Russia's
nuclear doctrine at a meeting of the country's
security council.
Putin said a nuclear power supporting an attack
on Russia would now be considered a joint
aggressor.
The change in doctrine comes after Putin's warnings
to the U.S. and other NATO allies
that allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range
weapons to hit Russian territory would mean that
Russia and NATO are at war.
The good news is Putin's war has failed.
It is at its core aim.
He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine
is still free.
He set out to weaken NATO, but NATO
is bigger, stronger, more united than ever before.
I don't want to see wars.
I think it's so horrible, so unnecessary, so
costly in terms of lives and money and
that order.
I think it's just a failed mentality.
It's crazy.
You can sell problems over a telephone and
say they start dropping bombs.
I see recently they're dropping bombs all over
Yemen.
You don't have to do that.
You can talk in such a way where
they respect you and they listen to you.
And you know the number of lives we're
talking about is far greater than the numbers
that you hear.
When they blow up a town, when they
blow up these buildings, I mean these are
big, powerful buildings, they come tumbling down to
the ground and they say nobody was injured.
A lot of people were killed.
And the numbers are a lot different than
you think.
When you will see that, you will see
that happening.
When those numbers really get announced, you're going
to see it's much worse.
The whole world is on fire.
