Everybody poops.
Adam Curry, John C.
Dvorak.
It's Thursday, March 19th, 2026.
This is your award-winning Kipp on Asian
Media Assassination episode 1852.
This is no agenda.
One more for the Kipper.
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of
the Texas hill country here in FEMA region
number 6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And I'm Mimi Smith Dvorak.
And on a globe, I'm between the 48th
and 49th parallel.
Wow.
It's crackpot and buzzkill.
In the morning.
And it's wet.
You're wet.
You're soaking wet.
We don't even say anything about it.
It's just another day.
Yeah, yeah.
100% humidity.
Yeah.
I didn't even know.
You told me before we started that there
was a storm in Hawaii that is now
over your domain.
Your neck of the woods.
The start of it, we do get one
day that that globe in the sky may
appear on Saturday.
And then we've got rain forever.
We have rain that's just coming.
And it's so slow.
And it's going to be lots of inches.
And it's also quite warm.
So, that means all the snow that we
had was going to melt.
So, we'll be flooding too.
It's great.
So, what is the actual appeal of living
in Washington state?
It's good for your skin.
Oh, yeah.
But so is pharaoh.life, you know.
That stuff is good for your skin too.
I don't know if you need to live
in Washington state for it.
Oh, it's got beautiful trees.
And, yeah.
That's it.
Okay.
There you go, everybody.
You've got income tax now.
You've got libtards running around.
But you've got nice trees.
Yeah, nice trees.
So, not once, but twice this week did
JCD call me.
That was quite exciting.
The first one was, I think, Tuesday.
He's like, hey, it's Dvorak.
Like, okay, you know, we have a caller
ID on these phones.
In case you didn't know.
And, yeah, I said, well, okay, yeah, just
checking in.
I said, well, are you getting out tomorrow?
He says, yeah, yeah.
He says, it was so sweet.
He says, I'm really sorry.
He keeps apologizing.
He said, stop apologizing.
No, but I'm really sorry.
You have to do one more show with
Mimi.
I'm like, wow, wow.
Yeah, that would be John.
Yeah.
And then yesterday, like, I've got salmon in
the oven.
Tina was out helping a friend, so I'm
cooking dinner.
And salmon, you kind of keep your eye
on it.
And he said, let's test the gear.
Let's test the gear.
I guess he was setting up the famed
Nook at Jay's house.
And it was so classic, as if nothing
has changed.
So he plugs in, he connects to the
clean feed.
And I can clearly hear that it's not
the microphone he's talking into.
It's like something else is on.
No, it's not.
I'm talking right into it.
Nothing has changed.
It's the same.
John, I'm telling you.
And I can hear myself booming through the
speakers.
You got speakers?
Yeah, Jay bought me some speakers.
Could you consider headphones for once, just maybe?
Yeah.
And he's like, I'll call you back.
And it turns out there was a webcam
still plugged in.
I'm like, told you so.
Oh, yeah, told me so.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, I recorded some of it.
I recorded some of it.
Oh, no.
Yeah, let me play a little bit here.
Here we go.
So this is what happens when your wife
and your work wife get together.
Mm-hmm.
Now, that was from the hospital day that
he called me, including this one.
I have to go.
It's time for my sponge bath.
So that ended the conversation.
And then, parents, cover your kids' ears.
I can't stand one more fucking Jell-O
cup.
Pretty good, huh?
Oh, yeah.
That's AI.
We don't need John anymore.
Could you tell?
Could you tell it was not John?
I wasn't listening hard enough.
I'm a wife.
I've been a wife for so long, my
ears turn off.
Wow, I thought that only happened to husbands.
That's good.
That's very good.
So one question, well, there's a couple of
things.
But one question that people really would like
to know, and you may not want to
answer this, is Mimi your real name?
No.
No, it's not.
Mm-hmm.
My parents saddled me with the first name
is Merrilee Diane.
I like Merrilee.
That's a cute name.
No, it's Merrilee Diane.
Well, okay.
I have a middle name as well.
It's hyphenated.
I have a middle name.
Okay.
And then, because when I was a little
kid, I could not say it.
Because, you know what, a kid can spit
out Merrilee Diane.
I started calling myself Mimi, and everyone started
calling me Mimi from then on.
Huh.
So you don't like Merrilee?
It has to be Merrilee Diane, but you
don't like that at all, obviously.
My name is Merrilee Diane, like my mother
was naming for some southern belle, and she
got me.
Well, we all saw the pictures.
Merrilee Diane, mm-hmm.
My mom had blonde, curly hair, and she
was just dark brown eyes, and I am
nothing like my mother.
Welcome to the stage, Merrilee Diane.
Put your hands together for Merrilee Diane.
So for political stuff up here, I decided
to use Merrilee when I first ran, because
we already had a city council member.
His name was Sherry, and we had one
named Sissy, and I thought that it sounded
like a bunch of strippers.
So people have been listening to us for
the past—what have we done now, four shows?
Is this the fifth show?
Is this the fifth?
I think it's the fifth.
No, I think it's just four, because we
missed that first one.
Well, we kind of did an intro on
the first one.
Right.
And I've loved doing this with you, Mimi.
I really appreciate you jumping in.
I'd say 98% of No Agenda Nation
loves that you jumped in.
The 2% are always the a-holes,
so I just fight them on Twitter.
Those are the ones I like the best.
They're the worst.
Like, I couldn't listen.
There was no deconstruction at all.
Well, they're right.
I usually listen two to—yeah.
I usually listen two to three times in
an episode.
I had to turn it off.
Like, okay, fine.
You know, a little bit of grace, maybe?
Just a tad?
Eh.
But the best came from Hollywood Bigwig.
He texted this to me during the Academy
Awards, so that means he wasn't watching.
Dana Brunetti.
He says, I am pretty sure that Mimi
is indeed a spook.
And he takes it one step further.
He says, I don't think anyone's put it
together that she is the anonymous donor.
That you are seronimous of Dogpatch and Laura
Slobovia.
And that's how she communicates with John when
she's on assignment.
She doesn't live in Washington.
She's just off on assignment.
Notice there have been no donations from him
since he's been on the show?
Okay.
Whatever.
Sure.
I'll take it.
I thought that was pretty good.
I thought it was pretty good.
Our president has been super hilarious the past
few days.
This just—I saw this this morning.
He was sitting with the prime minister of
Japan.
Okay.
Do you know her name?
I forget what her name is.
Not at all.
And so there's a whole bunch of Japanese
journalists.
And, you know, it's just Japanese on a
whole one side of the room.
Let me see if I can get this
here.
Here he goes.
Of course, no.
Japan and the U.S. are very good
friends.
One question.
Why didn't you tell U.S. allies in
Europe and Asia like Japan about the war?
So he says, why didn't you tell U
.S. allies like NATO and Europe and Japan
before you went to war with Iran?
Well, one thing, you don't want to signal
too much.
You know, when we go in, we went
in very hard.
And we didn't tell anybody about it because
we wanted surprise.
Who knows better about surprise than Japan?
Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
Dude!
Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor,
huh?
Wow.
Wow, that's great.
That's good.
It's good.
And no sooner had we talked about it
on Sunday than the president did exactly what
we thought he would do.
I'm going to remind everybody what he did
during the State of the Union to screw
with the Democrats.
One of the great things about the State
of the Union is how it gives Americans
a chance to see clearly what their representatives
really believe.
So tonight, I'm inviting every legislature to join
with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle.
If you agree with this statement, then stand
up and show your support.
The first duty of the American government is
to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
It was great how the shot pulled out
right away.
Yep.
Isn't that a shame?
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing
up.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
We talked about this on Sunday, and it
came true the next day.
He did exactly the same with NATO.
He said, hey, you guys going to come
and stand up and stand next to us?
And so he was with, gosh, I think
it was the prime minister of Austria or
Ireland.
He was with the Taoiseach of Ireland.
And he's sitting there in the Oval Office.
And this didn't get as much coverage as
I hoped it would have on the mainstream,
some choice bits, but he really laid it
down.
I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake.
And I've long said that, you know, I
wonder whether or not NATO would ever be
there for us.
So this is a this was a great
test because we don't need them, but they
should have been there.
The other thing is, and I think, you
know, very important, we didn't have to be
there for Ukraine.
You know, Biden chose to spend hundreds of
billions of dollars on Ukraine.
And I guess the head of Germany just
made a statement that, well, they weren't involved
and they have nothing to do with the
war.
But at the same time, they think we
did a great thing by knocking them out.
Nobody wants to have nobody wants to have
Iran or anybody.
But nobody wants to have Iran with a
nuclear because these people are crazy.
They're absolutely crazy and they're vicious, violent.
I mean, they kill.
Think of it.
They kill.
Now I hear it's about 41000 people they
put out a notice two days ago.
Anybody that protests will be immediately shot and
killed.
That's pretty tough stuff.
So everyone agrees with this, but they don't
want to help.
And we you know, we as the United
States have to remember that because we think
it's pretty shocking.
We're going to remember that it was a
test.
He says it himself.
It was a test test to see if
they would stand up.
And naturally, the question that he wanted was
planted and came.
Are you rethinking the United States relationship with
NATO, possibly getting out?
Well, I'm disappointed in NATO that we spend
trillions of dollars on NATO.
Think of it trillions over the years, many
trillions of dollars.
It's one of the reasons we have deficits
and we help other countries.
And when they don't help us, I mean,
it's certainly something that we should think about.
But I don't need Congress for that decision.
As you probably know, I can make that
decision myself.
I'd work with some very smart people and
I'd always deal with Congress anyway.
But I don't need Congress for that decision.
But, you know, when you when you say
rethink, I'm not I have nothing currently in
mind.
But I will say that I'm not exactly
thrilled when we help them with Ukraine, that
Ukraine would have been over in one day
if we didn't help.
Frankly, Ukraine would have been over in the
first day.
They had the best equipment in the world.
It was our equipment given by sleepy Joe
Biden.
No charge, no hundreds, hundreds of billions of
dollars of the best equipment in the world.
No charge.
I will say that I'm not happy about
it.
No.
So there's your shot across the bow.
I love the trolls.
See Brooklyn one, one, two.
Well, you know what's funny?
High gas prices are funny.
You know what's funny?
No gas.
I live through that.
Me, me live through that, too.
No gas.
Yeah, because we didn't have the region under
control.
We're anti-war.
If you're anti-war, you have a very
weak stance.
You have nothing left.
Get rid of your iPhone.
The U.S. Navy protects that in.
And so who did stand with America is
exactly the people who make sure that you
have gas at all.
Which countries are joining?
Well, we've had great support from the Middle
East.
Qatar has been great.
The UAE has been absolutely great.
Saudi Arabia has been terrific.
Bahrain has been very good.
The Middle Eastern countries have been very strong
in their support.
And of course, Israel has been our partner.
Israel's been very, very strong.
Yes.
So that kind of, yeah.
Meanwhile, there's been a lot of, like, good
old Joe Kent.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
You're going too fast.
I'm going too fast.
Okay, let's go.
We'll get to Joe Kent in a moment,
and then we can have a good laugh
about Israel.
So the president then reminds everybody where we
were with Iran during the Obama administration.
And he even asked us if we'd forgotten
about it.
If we didn't do the attack, or if
I'll go a step further, if I didn't
terminate the Iran nuclear deal given to us,
one of the worst deals ever made, by
Barack Hussein Obama.
Remember when they sent Boeing 757s over there?
Loaded with cash.
Hundreds of millions of dollars.
He would have been very happy.
This was a wonderful.
They sent hundreds of millions.
People forget that.
Does anybody remember?
Right?
You remember.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in a Boeing
757.
I think they had two of them loaded.
They took the seats out, and they put
cash.
And it was so much that there wasn't
a bank in Virginia, Maryland, or D.C.
that had any money left.
They stripped them of all their money, put
it into place, sent it to Iran, almost
as ransom.
Yeah, almost.
That's not going to happen with Trump.
And nobody ever did anything about it.
Nobody ever said anything.
Can you imagine if I did that?
I didn't know that the banks in Virginia
and Maryland and D.C. were empty of
cash.
That's an interesting detail.
I've never heard before.
I haven't heard that at all.
But, you know, we could have all wished
for a plane crash that day.
Money from heaven.
Mana from heaven.
So we're winding it up here.
Mr. Trump, Mr. President, you have a day
after plan.
It's just a military operation to you.
But do you not have a day after
plan?
And if so, what is your day after
plan for Iran?
Well, we have a lot.
Look, if we left right now, it would
take 10 years for them to rebuild.
But we're not ready to leave yet.
But we'll be leaving in the near future.
We'll be leaving in pretty much the very
near future.
But right now, they've been decimated from every
standpoint.
And again, we've had great support from countries
in the Middle East.
Great support.
But we've had no support from, essentially, no
support from NATO.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Then we actually had a thing about NATO.
I'll get you to Joe Kent.
Where is it?
Here we go.
Yeah.
Huh.
I thought I had this here.
Where is my...
Goodness gracious.
Where is my...
Oh, here it is.
This is from...
Actually, this is Canada Global News.
And they bring in all the Europeans on
this.
Because, clearly, the president has no clue, no
plan, no idea what he's doing.
The U.S. president sounded so sure about
Iran's liberation...
I say tonight that the hour of your
freedom is at hand.
...that the war would be over quickly.
I think you'll see it's going to be
a short-term excursion.
But Donald Trump has discovered that Iranian freedom
is not at hand.
They don't have guns, and the other ones
have guns.
Highly sophisticated machine guns.
It's the small observations that are revealing that
the Iranian regime can still threaten the global
economy.
Literally, a single terrorist can put something in
the water or shoot something or shoot a
missile.
Trump said he didn't need NATO's help, then
asked for it, didn't get it, then declared
he didn't need it, and never did.
Incoherent.
I would describe Trump's approach to all of
this as strategically incoherent.
This expert on U.S. foreign policy says
Trump's objectives have swung from regime change to
nuclear disarmament.
He's not even sure who to talk to.
I don't know if they're ready yet.
And we don't even know their leaders.
All of this suggests to me that nobody's
on the same page, and nobody really knows
what the point of the war is or
how it's going to end.
NATO allies, recently intimidated by Trump's threats and
tariffs, are forcefully resisting him now.
France would never take part, says President Emmanuel
Macron, in an operation to unlock the Strait
of Hormuz.
For many, it all comes back to the
same question.
What is Trump's endgame?
We haven't been consulted, and we don't really
understand what are the objectives of this war.
It's no surprise, say experts, that neither the
allies nor shipping companies want to risk Iranian
attacks in the narrow strait.
They can exploit the geography of the Strait
of Hormuz and use relatively unsophisticated weapons that
are easy to hide and attack shipping almost
whenever they want.
So Iran really has the ability to protract
this conflict pretty significantly.
So Trump finds himself in a war in
which Iran will not surrender and America's usual
partners will not take part.
This is what happens when the United States
mistreats its allies.
What we're seeing over the last couple of
days is that there's no international appetite to
help Donald Trump out of this mess.
Trump's plan to win or end the war
still sounds vague.
We'll be leaving in the near future.
We'll be leaving in pretty much the very
near future.
Eric Sorensen, Global News, Toronto.
I love this.
It's been obvious for over 100 years what
is going on, and Trump is the first
president to actually do something about it.
And people who keep saying, oh, we're doing
this for Israel, it's a very illogical, unintelligent
take.
To what end?
The whole point is the oil.
The oil has been the point since 1906,
I think, whenever Churchill changed the British Navy
from coal to oil.
And they went in and created the Anglo
-Persian Oil Company, later BP.
And everything was hunky-dory and everybody was
happy until 1953.
Then we, CIA and MI6, went in because
they had a republic, they had democratically elected
government.
And like, oh, we can't have this.
We need strife and people to be crazy.
And why don't you just take our opium
like you did when they deal in the
first place?
And the prime minister, what was his name?
Mahhuzad or something, I forget his name.
Yeah, well, and he was the one who
pushed so that Iran would get a cut.
They wanted to nationalize the oil.
A cut.
He was going to nationalize it.
Right.
And they did.
They ended up getting more money, which they
were getting nothing for this oil getting taken
from the ground.
Right, so then we brought in the Shah.
Our boy.
We brought him in and he kicked Khomeini
out.
And then the Islamic Revolution started to happen,
which came in 78, 79.
Again, our fingerprints were all over it.
It was a student uprising who, I remember
this.
I was old enough to remember.
They got our embassy, had 50 people for
over 400 days.
And the CIA was, they'd shredded all their
documents.
And the students got all the shredded material,
took it to school, to the school children.
Say, hey, you like puzzles?
Put this together.
And so they had the proof that we
had done all of that.
That's where that's where all this came from.
The students thought that they were going to
get freedom and they were going to get
their own country and they're going to get
elections again.
I mean, they were completely misled.
Oh, well, of course, of course, they were.
Yes.
So, yes, they were.
They were misled.
And then the nut jobs came in and
they behooved the people who set the oil
prices.
The spot market, I believe, is set in
London, not in New York or Chicago.
It's set in London.
You know, five to fifteen dollars of premium
per oil for the danger.
That's pure profit right in their pockets.
And it's been that way forever.
And to me, it's so clear.
If you think this is about getting rid
of Israel's enemy.
No, the Abraham Accords have already got everybody
looking in the same direction.
Saudi Arabia is ready to be the tech
Mecca, the AI Mecca.
They're investing trillions of dollars.
So Israel.
No, you're stupid.
No, really.
Even I think I have a clip.
Even Trump.
He was asked about the objectives of the
US and Israel.
Are you speaking with Prime Minister Netanyahu?
And are your objectives the same in terms
of ending the war?
They might be a little different, I guess.
You know, they're a different country than we
are.
A different country.
Whatever they're doing.
And Hegseth said effectively the same thing.
Well, I would just state by saying Israel
has been a really strong partner in this
effort.
Where they have different objectives, they've pursued them.
Ultimately, we've stayed focused on ours.
Yeah, there you go.
And we'll get to more of that later
after I lead you into Joe Kent.
Mr. President, your Director of National Counterterrorism, Joe
Kent, he just resigned today.
He said he can't support your conflict with
Iran.
What's your reaction to that?
Well, I read his statement.
I always thought he was a nice guy,
but I always thought he was weak on
security.
Very weak on security.
I didn't know him well, but I thought
he seemed like a pretty nice guy.
But when I read his statement, I realized
that it's a good thing that he's out.
Because he said that Iran was not a
threat.
Iran was a threat.
Every country realized what a threat Iran was.
The question is whether or not they wanted
to do something about it.
And Kent really had the same old boring
take that, oh, well, if you do that,
then we'll be distracted and China will take
Taiwan.
It hasn't happened.
Right.
And it may.
I don't even know if we care anymore.
It's always so important to Taiwan.
Evidently, he has been a leaker.
So I'd love the breaking news.
It's 318 breaking news.
Breaking!
We got breaking news.
Just a moment ago, sources are saying that
Joe Kent, the former director of the United
States National Counterterrorism Center, this is from Semaphore,
he just resigned.
He's now under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking
classified information.
And the investigation predate his departure.
Yeah, I saw this.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
Well, we also have a PBS Liz Landers
on Joe Kent.
OK.
Who's Liz Landers?
She works for PBS?
Yep.
With his background as a Green Beret and
a former CIA official, he has both this
military and intelligence background.
But he really represents sort of the MAGA
portion of this administration who is anti-war.
And that is what we saw today in
these comments from him.
He has a close relationship with Tucker Carlson,
who we've mentioned previously, has been critical of
this war in Iran since it started.
He's also a close ally of Tulsi Gabbard,
the director of national intelligence.
Ah, you led me right into it.
Perfect.
Which, yep, which, of course, four days ago,
Tucker said.
Well, here we go.
So the other day, I found out that
the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal
referral against me, a crime report to Department
of Justice on the basis of a supposed
crime I committed.
What's that crime?
Well, talking to people in Iran before the
war.
They read my texts.
So the crime under consideration apparently would be
the Foreign Agent Act or something like that,
acting as an agent of a foreign power.
And I don't expect this to go anywhere.
I'm not too worried about an actual criminal
case against me for a bunch of reasons.
One, I'm not an agent of a foreign
power.
Unlike a lot of people commenting on U
.S. politics and global affairs, I have only
one loyalty, and that's the United States.
I'm a podcaster.
I thought that there's no way that's a
coincidence.
I think that Tucker was talking to Kent.
Yeah, I thought that, too, with the difference
being the FBI has opened an investigation against
Kent and Tucker's talking about the CIA.
And I mean, it could just be an
elaborate joke.
Or Tucker is just this is just an
elaborate publicity stunt by Tucker.
I wouldn't put it past them, to be
fair about it.
So can I go off on my rant?
Go for it.
So I was like looking around, and the
funny thing that I found was Tucker is
he likes to be talked about clearly.
And I found a lot of people talking
about him.
But what I found the most interesting was
Pastor Demonsi, I think that's how you pronounce
it, from Demonsi, Washington.
I have two parts to it.
So the first one is called dangerous.
The other one is final.
Within the West, the church itself is being
more and more divided on one single issue,
Israel and the Jewish people.
There's lots of doctrinal things, and the church
has been fighting for 2,000 years with
itself about many, many things.
That's why there's thousands of denominations.
But what we're seeing now more than ever
before is that Christians of different ethnicities, different
groups, different denominations, Catholic, Protestant, the dividing line
seems to be Israel and the Jews.
Israel and the Jews.
Either you believe God's word when it comes
to Israel and the Jewish people, or you
believe the Tucker Carlsons and the Candace Owens,
and that's really causing the kind of riff
right now.
Ooh, right up my alley.
I'll let you finish, and then I'll give
you my opinion.
OK, so then there's a final with this
pastor, by the way, is the founder of
the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, and
he's in Charlotte, North Carolina.
So let's let's do the final with him.
It's dangerous because of who he is.
The platform that he has.
He's still with T.P. USA.
He's still good friends with the vice president
of the United States.
Right.
This is not just some guy on a
street corner yelling with a bullhorn.
This guy has access to the highest levels
of government in our nation.
So and he's in the platforms, Nick Fuentes.
And but he's not getting really any pushback
from the people that should be giving him
pushback.
This is a very dangerous moment for our
nation.
OK, so I happen to have a conversation
with Pastor Jimmy about this yesterday on we
on the we get to do this podcast.
I've been tracking this because it is probably
the oldest trick in the book.
And the Brits love doing it.
And when I say the Brits, you know,
MI6, City of London, you know, Wall Street
affiliated.
They love to use religion to divide people.
And what is cropped up and the catalyst
was Charlie Kirk.
That was the catalyst.
And that's when we brought in Israel Jews
problem, even though it really started October 7th.
But, you know, then we got that's when
we got Candace Owens.
We got Tucker.
We got Megyn Kelly.
We got Ben Shapiro.
We have Mark Levine.
We've got the Nick Fuentes.
And the the conspiracy theory, which is up
my alley, you know, I've looked at many
conspiracy theories on the show throughout the years.
Still don't think we landed on the moon.
But the conspiracy theory is that about 110
years or about 100 years ago, the Schofield
Bible was published.
And the Schofield Bible changed the the way
American Christians looked at Israel, which had been
since the days of Constantine.
So what are we, 300 BC, 300, the
year 300?
Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome
and effectively the world.
And what Constantine said was Israel is no
more.
The church is the new Israel.
And for 1800 years or whatever, you know,
this this was this was what it was.
The church is the new Israel.
And that's called replacement theory.
What's the Schofield?
And this really great the way the conspiracy
theory goes is, well, you know, this guy,
he edited the Bible is called the Schofield
Bible.
Well, he didn't edit the Bible.
It was a study Bible and the study
Bible proclaimed dispensationalism, which is is I find
it somewhat convoluted.
But there's these, you know, divides world history
up into seven stages.
And we're now in the church stage.
But there's a third.
And so those are the two camps.
The camps are none.
And I think a lot of Catholics are
in the replay or fulfillment.
They would call it theology.
Like the church is new Israel.
You don't need Israel.
It's fine.
The dispensationalists are very much the and I
think they're ignorant.
The Ted Cruz's of the world, probably speaker
of the house, Mike Johnson, the president's pastor,
Paula White.
You know, they're like 1948.
That was the fulfillment of Scripture.
And these people are all hung up on
eschatology, the end times.
You know, we're almost there.
You know, it's coming.
Jesus is coming back.
And if you read the Bible, there's which,
which, by the way, that definitely reminds me
of some of the more ridiculously extreme of
the Muslim religions that believe that the only
way that Muhammad will come back is if
we have an apocalypse.
Oh, yeah.
Armageddon.
Exactly.
Armageddon.
So but the way I look at it
and I'm a new Christian, so I have
the benefit of listening to a lot of
different people.
And my pastor, I've been talking about this
with him for months.
There's a third way, which is called covenant
theology.
And in the Bible, it says black and
white.
God says this land is for the chosen
people.
Now, he doesn't say Benjamin Netanyahu.
He doesn't say the borders as drawn in
1948.
And we as Gentiles are grafted into the
Jewish people.
So that you can believe that Israel belongs
to the Jews without having to define it
that way and without having to be crazy
about it.
You don't have to be nuts because you
can just read the words that God said.
So evidently, Tucker mistook something that someone said
in Israel.
So when Palestine was having all the issues,
all the Christians moved.
They left.
They went to other parts of the world.
They went to Israel.
And Tucker thought that it meant that there
was ethnic cleansing of Christians.
He completely misunderstood.
But that's because he is not.
I don't think he has any religious background
at all.
So I would love to go into this
thing.
I've got Tucker Carlson's spirituality.
And this is a movie called Christianities by
Holy Wisdom Films by John Hears.
And they have a sneak peek that features
Tucker Carlson.
So let's do part one.
Do you think the presence of evil is
kick-starting people to wonder about the good?
That's what happened to me.
That's what happened to you?
Oh, yeah.
I had a direct experience with it.
In the milieu of journalism or just— No,
in my bed at night.
And I got attacked while I was asleep
with my wife and four dogs in the
bed and mauled.
Physically mauled.
In a spiritual attack by a demon?
Hold on.
What was with the nat pop of the
dog?
I couldn't get it out.
I tried.
No, that's perfect.
That's perfect.
Let's hear it again.
I was asleep with my wife and four
dogs in the bed and mauled.
Physically mauled.
In a spiritual attack by a demon?
Yeah, by a demon.
Or by something unseen that left— Is it
right?
Claw marks on my sides.
So it left physical marks.
Oh, they're still there.
Yeah, yeah.
A year and a half ago.
Was your wife terrified?
I know you were.
I wasn't.
I was totally confused.
I woke up and I couldn't breathe and
I thought I was going to suffocate.
And I walked around outside.
And then I walked in and my wife
and dogs had not woken up.
And they're very light sleepers.
And then I had these terrible pains on
my ribcage and on my shoulder.
And I was just in my boxer shorts
and I went and flipped on the light
in the bathroom.
And I had four claw marks on either
side underneath my arms and on my left
shoulder.
And they were bleeding.
Wait, they were bleeding?
They were bleeding, yeah.
They were actual claw marks.
And I sleep on my side.
So I wasn't clawing myself.
I don't have long nails.
And they didn't fit my hands anyway.
But, yeah, that happened.
So, I'm not from a world where things
like that happen.
I never heard of anything like that happening
before.
I had no idea what that was.
I knew it was spiritual immediately.
Hmm.
Okay.
It goes on.
I've heard.
I think he told.
I think he mentioned a version of this
on Joe Rogan, I think.
Maybe, but let's go to Part 2 and
then 3.
They're both short.
I'm not from a, what do they call
it, faith tradition that talks about things like
that or even acknowledges their existence.
Like there's nothing like that.
I've never heard anybody say anything like that
in my whole life.
What was the next day like?
Well, the next morning, I woke up, and
I thought that was the weirdest dream I've
ever had.
And then I saw blood on my sheets,
and I realized that was not a dream
at all.
I was like, oh, my assistant was like
the only evangelical Christian I know, you know,
well enough to call something bizarre like that.
Totally bizarre like that.
And she said, oh, yeah, no, no, that
happens.
Yeah, people are attacked in their bed by
demons.
What?
Wow.
Yes.
Which is nonsense because he's Episcopal, and they
do talk about it.
So let's go to 3.
And I'm not pretending to understand that.
I can only say what happened to me,
and that did happen to me.
And then I was seized with this very
intense desire to read the Bible, which I
then started.
Without any study aids or anything, I bought
a Bible that didn't have any.
I'm not interested in editorializing in the Bible.
I just want to read it and see
what's in there myself.
I have very low levels of trust for
Christian pastors, most of whom, you know, I'm
just not a fan at all.
So right there, when he's, there's no reason
for him to say, I don't need to
study Bible.
I think he was set up or he's
being set up or he did this purposely
to bring in the Schofield Bible conspiracy.
Maybe or maybe, since it's common across religions
that there are fallen angels and symbolic monsters,
entities associated with destruction, ethical lapses and spiritual
struggle for human souls.
I wonder why did he go back to
bed?
Maybe he popped a Zen and was doing
just fine.
I don't know.
But not seeking out religion.
I mean, I'm sorry if I, during the
night, if I suddenly woke up after being
visited by a beast, I would certainly seek
out guidance.
I wouldn't just reject it all.
And everything that he said since this about
the Bible, he is completely wrong.
He attributes stuff to Moses that Moses didn't
do.
It's amazing how much he's twisting the words.
Oh, well, if you listen to the podcast
with Pastor Jimmy, I mean, he's saying crazy
stuff.
And I just need to reiterate that, yes,
1948 came from the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
And it was Britain, Britain created Israel.
They created all the, hey, they had the
Pico-Sykes Agreement, Britain and France.
They just drew lines on a napkin.
And we'll call that Iraq, Iran, we'll call
that Syria, Jordan.
And then later, oh, we're going to put
Israel here.
It's going to be fantastic.
And people say, oh, that was created by
Zionists.
Yeah, it was created by the British.
And the whole idea was to have the
Jews there to be on both sides of
the, you know, on the Sinai, to keep
Egypt in check.
And what was Britain doing?
They were funding the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
This has always been about protecting the waterways
and the oil.
And unfortunately, I find it unfortunate, we do
have a lot of politicians, Christians, who are,
they're so deeply entrenched into the fulfilling of
biblical prophecy of Israel that, yeah, they definitely
feel that, oh, we have to protect Israel
at all costs.
I don't think Trump is one of them.
I really, he's pragmatic.
He'd even say, you know, the prayer breakfast
is, I don't think I'm going to heaven.
I don't think I belong there.
Because he is about profit.
He is about making America wealthy and prosperous
again.
And so, yes, there are definitely, definitely politicians
who are all in on the dispensationalism, all
in on Israel being the fulfillment of prophecy.
But I don't think that's why Trump is
doing this.
And I also don't think that Israel has
blackmailed him.
I mean, so Tucker, Tucker is good friends
with Joe Kent.
So we get Tucker being investigated by the
CIA, Kent investigated by the FBI.
Kent resigns.
He says two things.
He says Iran posed no threat.
And he said, well, you know, Israel is
the one that dragged us into it.
And he shows up on Tucker's show yesterday.
Because the attacks on him have prevented an
honest conversation about what he's actually saying.
And what he's saying is, and he says
it clearly, and we're going to ask him
about it directly in just a moment.
Israel got us into this war.
Its lobby in the United States pressured the
president.
And its prime minister in Israel told the
president, we're going without you.
Join us, because if you don't, your troops
in the region, interests in the region, your
citizens in the region will all be at
risk.
You have no choice.
They led the way.
That's Joe Kent's position.
And rather than push back against that and
say, no, actually, he's wrong, they're telling you
to shut up.
And why are they doing that?
Well, there's only one reason people ever become
hysterical and slanderous.
Start screaming at you rather than answering you.
It's because they're lying.
Oh, yes, of course.
Of course, because they're lying.
So he gets Kent on.
And I'm glad that we talked about Rubio
and his statement, which was so overtly clear
what he was trying to communicate.
And after I talked to former JAG military
lawyer, Rob, the constitutional lawyer, he agreed.
So it's not just me.
He agreed that this was a brilliant move
because they filed with the United Nations under
Section 51.
They filed that they were protecting the interests
of the United States after Israel attacked Iran
because they did not want Congress blocking anything
that they're doing.
You notice you don't hear about the War
Powers Resolution anymore because it doesn't apply, because
the lawyers know that the paperwork is filed.
And Rubio had to.
He, in essence, was providing cover.
And exactly as I thought, as exactly as
people were spiking the ball in the end
zone, Tucker and Kent used this Rubio speech
as clear proof that Israel dragged us into
this.
And I see you weak trolls saying the
same thing in the troll room.
It's important to stop and say, here's what
we actually know.
So I'd like now, if we could, just
to play one of the statements that you
alluded to.
And that's from Marco Rubio, the secretary of
state.
And this was shortly after this war commenced.
And he was explaining, as is his habit,
in a thoughtful, precise way, why.
Here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
And so the president made the very wise
decision.
We knew that there was going to be
an Israeli action.
We knew that that would precipitate an attack
against American forces.
And we knew that if we didn't preemptively
go after them before they launched those attacks,
we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even
higher those killed.
And then we would all be here answering
questions about why we knew that and didn't
act.
Okay.
So that is his almost contemporaneous explanation.
And it's not offhand.
He reasons it out.
He explains there's a logic chain there.
And he says, we knew not that Iran
was going to attack.
He did not say that.
He said we knew that Israel was going
to attack Iran.
And in retaliation for those attacks by Israel
against Iran, Iran might attack American forces.
So the imminent threat that the Secretary of
State is describing is not from Iran.
It's from Israel.
Exactly.
And I think this speaks to the broader
issue.
Who is in charge of our policy in
the Middle East?
Who is in charge of when we decide
to go to war or not?
In this case, with what the secretary described
and later on the president, later on the
Speaker of the House and the way the
events played out, the Israelis drove the decision
to take this action, which we knew would
set off a series of events.
Meaning the Iranians would retaliate.
It's so unbelievable to me.
Yeah.
If it was truly – I can see
people say, oh, he's got a Zionist gun
pointed at his head.
That's why he's doing it.
The guy got shot.
He doesn't care.
He does not care.
He doesn't care about the midterms.
He doesn't care about anything.
He cares about getting the British system out
of America.
It surrounds us.
What do you think Canada is?
They have been running the oil business, the
shipping business, the shipping insurance business for 100
years.
And we've always been the dummies who've protected
them when it came down to it.
Oh, we'll go into World War I.
We'll go into World War II.
And Trump is saying, no, we are going
to stop it and we are going to
control it.
That is what's happening here.
And Israel has not – so far they've
only had downside.
They've only got bombs incoming.
They only have bad things happening.
It has not benefited them.
And now this was the kicker, what Tucker
says here.
So you've already seen in the wake of
a recent terror attack, neocons used that attack
as a way to try and censor, shut
down, maybe even imprison critics of the decision
to go to war in Iran.
So it's almost like you control both sides.
Did you hear what he said there?
Yeah.
He said, we killed a religious leader, so
now it's a religious war.
What?
Are you kidding me now?
This is not a religious leader.
This is a nut job.
As a way to try and censor, shut
down, maybe even imprison critics of the decision
to go to war in Iran.
So it's almost like you control both sides.
You advocate for a war which inevitably stokes
religious hatred because you advocate for the killing
of a religious leader.
So you're helping to create religious war, permanent
generational religious war.
And then when your country or the country
you happen to be living in that you
don't really care about feels the effects when
Americans are killed as a result of that,
you use their deaths to justify the silencing
of people who criticize to you.
Does that make sense?
No, exactly.
Yeah.
So how much are you concerned we're going
to see more of that?
I'm very concerned.
I pray we won't, but the odds are
not in our favor just considering how open
our borders have been.
Obviously, this type of propaganda radicalizes people.
Again, we've already seen attacks.
We saw attacks inspired by the conflict in
Gaza.
So I think we're going to see more
of this.
I made the mistake of opening up Twitter
a couple times today.
There's people calling for dissenting voices to be
charged, to be locked up, et cetera.
And they may be.
The erosion of civil rights, I think, during
a time of conflict is nothing new.
Unfortunately, we've seen it before.
It's the rule.
This is the part I don't understand.
Who's being silenced?
Well, besides that, I have never heard anyone
since Tucker's been on his own show has
pushed back against him.
Nobody pushes back.
It's not like he's got any guardrails.
I hate to use that term, but it's
like nobody is hauling him in, and he's
getting nuttier and nuttier.
Well, I think he's an agent.
I think he is an agent for Britain,
and he is at the genesis of all
of this.
The whole Charlie Kirk thing, he's drawing that
all towards him.
He's saying, oh, the whole problem is that
Charlie wouldn't bar me from speaking at TPUSA.
The Jews hated it.
This is what the British crown, this is
what the city of London does.
And I am connecting Charlie Kirk's murder to
all of this.
And it's successful because it has completely driven
a schism into the conservative right in the
United States.
And it's those who think Israel did everything
and those who don't.
Well, now I understand why Carlson was visited
by a beast in the middle of the
night.
Now, I will say, as a Christian, I
got to say Ephesians 6.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against authorities, against the
cosmic powers over this present darkness and the
spiritual forces of evil and heavenly places.
I truly believe that.
I believe there's constant spiritual warfare going on.
I'm just not sure what attacked Tucker, if
you know what I mean.
Well, we'll see.
And so I'm going to make it even
crazier because we're all nuts here in the
Hill Country.
You know, Roseanne Barr moved to the Hill
Country.
She lives right outside of Fredericksburg.
I see her from time to time.
She's a very odd woman.
You know, she's five foot one, maybe five
feet tall.
Oh, yeah, she's tiny.
Yeah, she's tiny.
And I was introduced to her and she
doesn't shake hands.
She shakes arm.
So, you know, like a brother handshake where
you grab each other's wrist and you don't
shake hands.
You grab the wrist.
I don't shake hands.
It was very strange.
Yeah.
But she was on with Beanie Boy, with
Tim Pool, and she gets it.
Well, the truth is that the royal British
Empire is behind all of it.
Uh-oh.
Oh, no.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
Tell me about it.
And that is what Trump has, you know,
pretty much kicked in the guts of.
And that's because of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey
Epstein and all the banks of City of
London.
That's what's really coming down.
And, of course, Iran is a great, you
know, money laundering center of all of that.
And it sells, you know, 20 percent of
its gas to China.
So Trump has put them all, including Cuba.
He's put their whole network that nobody ever
talks about because they don't want to know
the truth of how it's just British imperialism.
Standard oil is a better word for it
than British imperialism.
They'll go anywhere for the oil.
They'll make up fake states all over the
world and then sell weapons to both sides
of every skirmish because they make money for
their stock markets housed in Basel, Switzerland, at
the Bank of International Settlements, where they decide
and fund every war because they make money
on war.
They are the military, industrial, pharma, whatever, medical,
everything.
They are consolidated raw power and they are
royal.
And, you know, come on.
And in the past 20 or 30 years,
things have been degrading internationally.
And I think we need to be careful.
It's more complex than that.
Again, it's like we same issue that the
anti-Semites are making, blaming Jews for everything.
We need to be careful not to fall
into the same.
Now, we can easily blame the banks of
the city of London.
Absolutely.
I think that's more true.
I agree with that more than the than
the royal family specifically.
But the royal family, you know, is the
front office for that.
Let's be real.
I think it's it's involved.
It has historic.
Yes, it has tendrils everywhere.
But it's just there's no one I think
competent, competent enough to be doing that.
Listen to this Brit trying to defend them.
Most of them are just sort of like
they're in a kind of retirement home.
Generally, the entire royal family, the the prominent
members like the royals of this world own
the central bank of all central banks, which
are all royals.
Not just you.
OK, maybe.
And they're all related to each other, too.
There's about 13 families of them.
Let's let's jump to this next story.
We've got this.
Yeah.
OK, go ahead.
Don't dive into it, Tim.
You might get you might get Charlie Kirk.
You don't want that.
You know, you know who defends the royal
family more than that?
Those in the UK.
Trump.
The Canadians.
Oh, my God.
Trump is always talking nice about him.
But I think that's a that's a wink
and a nudge.
Oh, yeah.
But all of the she's right.
They are.
Look, the the van Montbatten's there.
They're all German.
They're related to the Dutch.
They're related to the Danes, related to the
Swedes.
They are.
They just watch the crown.
Watch Victoria.
You get a real good sense of how
how that inbreeding has worked throughout the years
and where they get all the money.
East India Company.
The British Empire was robbing the entire world.
All that money went.
What were they living off of?
And now we have this kind of joke
where, oh, where the taxpayers are paying for
Buckingham Palace.
These people own so much actual land.
It's not funny.
And what no one ever talks about.
There's a really excellent book called The Merchants
of Grain.
The talk has been updated in the last
few years.
Five families control all the grain in the
world, in the entire world.
And if they want to cause famine.
OK, you don't get your wheat this year.
Is that Cargill?
Are they part of the family?
Cargill is another layer.
There's Cargill and, you know, can't think of
all the names.
We have some big privately owned corporations that
control our meat and control everything else.
But there are five families that are very
secretive.
But it's laid out in this book called
The Merchants of Grain, which I highly recommend.
Because you read it and you go, I've
never heard of these people.
And they're tied into the international banking as
well.
And that is not the grain part, although
he made or the company now.
It's Dreyfus, Julia Louis Dreyfus' grandfather.
He's one of the biggest shysters when it
comes to oil, you know, getting oil from
Libya, bringing it to Iran, back and forth.
I mean, you're right.
There are families you never ever hear about
who are involved in all of this trade.
And I'm pretty sure Trump sees through that.
And, you know, someone said on Twitter the
other day, oh, man, you guys have Trump
drain syndrome in reverse.
I said, what are you talking about?
So you never talk about this.
Well, you don't listen to every episode, I
guess, because we have.
And I show them bingit.io. Look, here
it is.
Well, you should criticize Trump more.
If it's valid, if it's valid, well, we
criticize Trump plenty.
If it's valid and if we just happen
to agree with what we see, then we're
Zionist shills, and especially me as the crazy
Christian nationalist Zionist at work.
Well, the one thing to remember is Trump
has dealt with people who are way richer
than him.
He's dealt with somebody because, you know, in
the business that he's always been in, I
mean, his family is not that rich.
They really aren't.
They're kind of like low-level rich.
Oh, yeah, low-level.
And, you know, at that level, there are
people who are so far head and shoulders
above you that he has a perspective that
most people don't have because he's dealt with
them.
He's made deals with them.
He's talked to them.
You know, there are people who you can't
even imagine how much they control and how
rich they are.
And they're just people.
I mean, that's just it.
My whole thing is, you know, everybody's a
person.
Everybody poops.
Exactly.
But, you know, in my past, I've known
some people who are rich.
And I'd go, oh, you're rich.
And they'd go, oh, no, not at all.
I'm like the poor rich.
I'm like the wrong side of the border
rich.
And I'd be like, but you've got like
$100 million.
They'd go, oh, you have no idea.
It's true.
I remember, and our Dutch listeners will remember
Nina Brink.
Nina Brink was the Dutch lady who bought
up a couple of different internet companies, internet
access companies, and was going to launch World
Online.
And World Online was going to be a
global internet services provider.
You know, this is from the days when
we still had dial-up modems and everything.
She bought Euronet and a couple other companies.
And she was going to float it on
the stock market.
She had already been very successful with business
IT systems, a company called A-Line.
And Ron Bloom and I, we went to
raise money from her, which is how I
came to know her.
And I immediately saw what kind of a
woman she was.
She's kind of this power woman, you know,
dressed in the typical kind of pastel color,
you know, the fuzzy dress, you know, that's
supposed to be very expensive.
She's got the helmet.
The Chanel jacket.
Yeah, yeah.
And she has hair like Queen Ursula von
der Leyen.
And right out of the bat, she said,
oh, this is great.
Yes, we'll invest a million dollars in you
in a subordinated loan.
Okay, goodbye.
You know, that's not investing.
You're lending us money, and then if we
do anything good with it, you get the
first money out.
And if we don't, then we're your slave
for the rest of our lives.
But I got to know her.
I tried to sell her a helicopter at
one point.
It wasn't very successful.
But this was a big flop, this float,
because it turns out right before the IPO,
it came out that she had pre-sold
all of her shares before it went public.
But I remember so clearly at a certain
point she says to me, oh, you know,
this is before the IPO.
The Rothschilds are interested.
The Rothschilds.
And she was like a slug.
The Rothschilds.
Oh, the Rothschilds are interested.
And she's a very wealthy woman.
The same, you know, hundreds of millions.
But when she heard the Rothschilds, oh, I
might even meet the Rothschilds.
I'm like, wow, you are a sycophant, lady.
You're sick.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
And so I see the game that Trump
is playing.
It's an oil game.
Now, the problem is this is going to
cost a lot of money.
He's already asking for a trillion and a
half dollar military budget next year.
The only way to fix the debt is
to get interest rates way down and to
switch the monetary system to stable coins so
that we still have the world reserve currency
because if we don't have the world reserve
currency through stable coin, which are backed by
treasuries, then we're toast.
So it is a big gamble.
I mean, it's Trump casino level gamble and
that didn't turn out so well.
So, you know, but at least he's doing
something different.
Right.
That's what I like.
And I don't like war, of course.
I don't like that.
But every single one of us listening or
speaking was born into a world at war.
Every single person.
That is the world.
Well, you know, it's not like we aren't
warring a warring species.
That's what we do.
We form tribes and then we war against
another tribe.
That's what we've done since the beginning.
I mean, that's why there's no Neanderthals here
anymore.
You know, you know, there were other species
and we wiped them out.
And maybe we just need to come to
terms with our own culture.
We are a warring, fighting people.
Yeah, that is what we are.
That is.
And we believe it's just when we do
it.
It's fun, I'm sure.
It's fun.
Let's be honest.
That's not fun.
I mean, let's do something fun because this
came across from New York Post.
I believe it's an AI voice, which is
disappointing, but the story is fantastic.
President Trump was stunned to learn that U
.S. intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba
Khamenei may be gay and that his father,
the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability
to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason.
The Post can reveal.
Trump couldn't contain a surprise and laughed aloud
when he was briefed on the intel, according
to sources.
Others in the room also found it, quote,
hilarious and joined the president's reaction.
While one senior intelligence official has not stopped
laughing about it for days, said one person
familiar with the briefing.
The shocking claim was described to the Post
by two intelligence community officials and a third
person close to the White House.
All three sources say the implausible sounding allegation
is viewed as credible by U.S. spy
agencies.
Two of the sources said the intelligence indicates
that Mojtaba has had a long term sexual
relationship with his childhood tutor.
The third source said the intelligence indicated the
affair was with a person who formerly worked
for the Khamenei family.
Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded
in the same February 20th airstrike that killed
his father and other members of his family,
has made aggressive sexual overtures to men caring
for him, possibly while under the influence of
heavy medication.
One of the Post sources said U.S.
spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of
the 56 year old's alleged sexual attraction to
men.
But the sources insisted the tip is solid,
with one saying it was derived from one
of the most protected sources that the government
has.
I don't know if you caught that, but
when someone says the tip is solid, I'm
like I'm sold on the story.
Thank you very much.
The Gayatola, the Gayatola Khamenei.
Perfect.
You know, you know, his father, I'm shocked
his father let him live.
Yeah.
All these all these people, you know, saying,
oh, you know, we're protesting against, you know,
for Iran, against the United States.
Do they understand that?
That homosexuality isn't is is a death sentence,
that, you know, they other opinions aren't accepted.
I mean, it's like all these people would
be dead if they went to Iran under
the last regime, under the IRGC.
I love the fact.
I bet he is gay.
Good.
He kind of I'm all for him.
My gate.
Now that I look at the guy, my
gaydar does kind of go off.
I never thought I never looked at him
that way.
OK, well, that's interesting.
Oh, you like him, huh?
No, no, I'm not.
Not not into that.
Not now.
So over and overnight there was some, you
know, at this point I'm thinking.
What is because clearly, you know.
Everything is destroyed, their radar, their air force,
they they can still shoot off some missiles,
I'm sure, but the drones, they still got
drones.
And the Straits of Hormuz, I'm thinking more
and more like maybe maybe we just keep
that shut for a little bit.
I mean, we're working on alternatives with our
GCC friends in the Abraham Accords.
It's only a tenth of what it needs
to be, but it is an alternative.
Iranian attacks on the oil facilities of neighboring
Gulf nations are creating new chaos for exports.
Well, Iranian attacks have targeted the United Arab
Emirates port of Fujairah for the second day
in a row, reportedly triggering a large fire
at an oil facility there.
Fujairah is one of the very few points
of export for Gulf oil producing nations that
bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
It's determinants for an Emirati oil pipeline that
runs from Habshan.
That's a port that lies before the key
maritime choke point now effectively closed by the
threat of Iranian attacks.
That pipeline typically handles around 1.5 million
barrels per day, maxing out at 1.8
million of the UAE's 3.5 million daily
total.
Iran is well aware of the pipeline's value
in allowing tankers to avoid the Strait of
Hormuz.
Saudi Arabia has its own bypass pipeline going
from Abqaiq on the Persian Gulf to Yanbu
on the Red Sea.
A fleet of tankers has now gathered at
Yanbu waiting to load up on oil.
Shipments from Yanbu have gone from 2.1
million barrels per day to 3.1 million
over the past week.
The head of the International Energy Agency, meanwhile,
says the current war has created the largest
oil supply disruption in the history of global
markets.
So that's only 10 percent of what normally
comes through the Straits, but maybe they can
amp that up.
I'm not sure.
I think that Tina texted me the other
day, I just filled up my car with
premium.
It was 469 a gallon.
Thanks, Trump.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Yes, it sucks right now.
But I really think that this is this
is more shenanigans than anything.
This is going to get solved.
What we want is China to pay retail.
Stop with your wholesale prices, China.
Retail.
Right.
I didn't get a clip, but evidently the.
The Russian tanker was hit by.
Why can't I remember the name of the
country?
Ukraine.
Yeah, by Ukraine, by.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not going to let you say Ukraine
because that's OK.
OK, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
OK, Ukraine.
And the tanker is on fire.
It has liquid petroleum gas and crude and
it's floating off of Italy.
And everyone's been told to stay, you know,
500 kilometers away because it's a bomb.
They don't know when it's going to go
off.
Nice.
Yeah.
Well, it's like, well, this is this is
what's amazing when it comes to LNG, liquefied
natural gas.
That's our business.
Yeah.
So when when this happened the other day,
when Iran bombed a gas field or gas
installation that belongs to the Qataris, you know,
they share this one huge gas field in
the Gulf there.
It's like that only that's going to Europe.
And that means we're going to be selling
more of it.
I mean, to me, it's like, OK.
And then Trump was mad at the Israelis
about this.
South Pars is the largest natural gas field
in the world, split between Iran and Qatar.
Iran says it was targeted by airstrikes overnight,
reportedly by Israel.
Iran's president warning of consequences beyond control.
And Qatar accused Israel of a dangerous and
irresponsible step that threatens global energy security.
In response, Iran advised citizens near five oil
and gas facilities in U.S. allied Gulf
states, including Qatar, to evacuate.
And on Wednesday night, Qatar reported major damage
from a missile attack at a refinery.
Saudi Arabia also said it intercepted ballistic missiles.
The price of oil has spiked again amid
the tensions.
And as the Gulf remains closed off for
energy exports to nations, Iran sees as allied
with the U.S. and Israel.
We all agree, of course, that trade has
to open up again.
And what I know is that allies are
working together, discussing how to do that.
U.S. allies have so far refused White
House requests for help to open up the
Strait of Hormuz.
Overnight, the U.S. military says it struck
Iranian missile sites along the strait.
The United States military has a lot of
capabilities, as you have seen play out over
the last 18 days.
And they still do have tricks up their
sleeve.
Oh, tricks up their sleeve.
So here's what the president posted.
He truthed it.
He says, Israel, out of anger for what
has taken place in the Middle East, has
violently lashed out at a major facility known
as South Pars gas field in Iran.
A relatively small section of the hole has
been hit.
The United States knew nothing about this particular
attack, and the country of Qatar was in
no way, shape or form involved with it,
nor did it have any idea it was
going to happen.
Unfortunately, Iran did not know this or any
of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South
Pars attack.
And unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of
Qatar's LNG gas facility.
And then uppercase, no more attacks will be
made by Israel.
Because, you know, he's got that Zionist gun
to his head.
So that's why he's doing it in uppercase.
Pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South
Pars field, unless Iran unwisely decides to attack
a very innocent, in this case, Qatar, in
which instance the United States of America, with
or without the help or consent of Israel,
because Israel needs that gas, will massively blow
up.
That's bigger than just big.
Will massively blow up the entirety of the
South Pars gas field at an amount of
strength and power that Iran has never seen
or witnessed before.
I do not want to authorize this level
of violence and destruction because of the long
-term implications that it will have on the
future of Iran.
But if Qatar's LNG is attacked again, I
will not hesitate to do so.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So there is the president afraid of Israel,
I guess.
He's pissed.
And I'm going to guarantee you they don't
do that again.
I love that line.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I hope this letter finds you well.
Yeah, that's...
Actually, that's pretty frightening.
The thought of what we could do, you
know?
I'm going to take my ball and bat,
and I'm going home.
Well, we're not going to go home.
No, no.
This is going to be resolved.
It is.
And everything will end.
The question is, will Iran figure it out?
And for sure, we have so-called boots
on the ground, and we've got agents all
over the place.
The IRCG, they're kind of a distributed organization,
so they're targeting all these regional IRGC offices.
There's a lot going on.
I'm just hearing about this.
I have no proof of it other than
what military people are telling me, which could
be propaganda.
I don't know.
But it sounds true.
We don't have troop carriers going out there
yet, and I don't think that will happen.
I don't think so.
And I think it will return back to
some normalcy probably within the next few weeks,
and then we'll see.
But even apparently former presidents are a little
envious that Trump is the one who did
this.
Other presidents should have done.
I spoke to one of the former presidents,
who I actually like.
I actually speak to some.
I do like some people.
It would be shocking.
And he said, I wish I did what
you did.
Could have done it.
Other presidents, somebody should have done it.
47 years this went on.
They call Iran the bully of the Middle
East.
And you could have never had the Abraham
Accords.
You could never have had peace in the
Middle East.
Now you're going to have peace.
You could never do it with the dark
cloud of a nuclear Iran.
But Iran is a shell of itself.
It's no longer a bully.
It's the one that gets bullied.
It's the bully that got beat up.
We beat the crap out of them, and
they deserve that.
I just want to ask you about something
very interesting that you said twice today.
You talked to another former president of the
Iran strikes.
Was it George W.
Bush?
No.
Was it Bill Clinton?
I don't want to say.
Because a member of a party, a member
of a party, they have Trump derangement syndrome.
But it's somebody that happens to like me.
And I like that person who's a smart
person.
But that person said, I wish I did
it.
Okay?
But I don't want to get into who.
I don't want to get him into trouble.
Maybe, hey, you know what?
I think you probably know.
You know, it's interesting.
And maybe he'd be proud.
And I could even ask him, would you
like me to reveal your name to Peter
at Fox?
Well, at least you have high ratings.
Hillary wouldn't let him.
Come on.
Exactly.
Hey, Donald.
I really like that, man.
I wish I had done that.
Would have been good.
Could have been real good.
Yeah.
Hillary wouldn't let him.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I thought that was funny.
The guessing game.
You know?
That's Trump.
What else you got on your list here,
Mimi?
You seem to have other things you brought
along to the party.
So did you watch the Oscars?
You know, I'm glad you asked.
First of all, ratings down almost 10%
over last year.
Only 3.5 million in the demo watched.
So that is an objective failure.
I could not even get through the monologue.
The first problem for me was, you know,
he does the opening sequence.
And I have not seen any of the
movies.
So I knew that they, you know, that
this all related to the movies.
But I had not seen any of them.
Because who goes to the movie theaters anymore?
And the mic sounded so bad.
I couldn't get it.
I was like, oh, man.
It could not get.
It bothered me too much.
And I thought the decor was orange, like
burnt orange kind of color.
So no, I did.
On YouTube, I later went back and I
looked at my favorite segment, the dead segment.
And there's Barbara singing The Way We Were.
And she was – it was crap.
She doesn't look – She looks like who
was our – The Crypt Keeper.
No, no, no.
Who was our Health and Human Services Secretary,
the Admiral, the dude in the dress?
Who was that?
I don't remember, but yes.
Come on.
Who was that?
That's what she looked like.
Right away, Tina's like, that's the Admiral.
I said, the Admiral?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, from Health and Human Services.
I got to look up his name now.
Levine.
That's right, Levine.
Levine.
So for several years, she had a summer
place that she would come to up here,
and I would see her at the local
little independent grocery store.
Barbara or Levine?
Barbara.
Babs, yes.
And so her husband is – what's her
husband?
Her husband is – what's Mr. Babs?
Oh, Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan.
So I run into him at Sunny Farms.
I love Sunny Farms.
And I was looking at him, and he
had one of those – Is that a
spa for celebrities, Sunny Farms?
Is that where you go to detox?
Sunny Farms is the local nut house that
has great vegetables and has a butcher counter.
It's just a little independent grocery store.
Got you.
Trendy.
So I go there, and Brosnan's there, and
I don't recognize him really, but I noticed
that he had the most beautiful haircut I've
seen for a long time.
Brolin.
I'm sorry, Josh Brolin.
Josh Brolin.
Thank you.
So he has – That's what he said.
It's one of those haircuts that looks like
every hair was cut individually, measured and cut
individually.
It was gorgeous.
And I went, you've got a great haircut.
What, you said that?
Yeah, I said that to him.
Why not?
I'm in the potato aisle.
Brolin.
And he looks at me and he goes,
do you know who I am?
And I went, well, do you know who
I am?
Oh, now that's – And I walk away.
You showed him, Mimi.
I'm Marilyn Diane, just so you know.
I'm Marilyn Diane.
I own this place up here in Sequim,
whatever it's called, Port Angeles.
So Barbara would always – Barbara, whatever you
say your name, Streisand, would be in line
shopping with us peasants with sunglasses on and
really expensive shoes.
You have a hatred of famous people.
Well, and she's looking around like, who's recognizing
me?
And it's like, we don't give a shit.
You're on Sunny Farms.
We don't care.
You're a shop.
And she'd be up here all the time.
I ran into her maybe five or six
times.
She didn't look like that.
I mean, she's had some work, and it
doesn't look good.
I absolutely loved – I have a Fonda
about Redford clip.
Can I – before you go in, I
just – oh, no.
We'll play that, and then I have to
say something about your hatred for famous people.
The Fonda, Fonda.
Oh, Fonda.
Here we go.
I mean, we lost so many greats this
year.
I want to know how come Streisand was
up there doing that for Redford.
She only made one movie with him.
I made four.
You made four.
I have more to say.
Say it now.
I mean, what do you remember most about
working with Robert Redford?
I was always in love with him.
Fonda.
How old is Fonda now?
How old is she?
About the same age.
You know, in her 80s.
88.
She's 88.
Yeah, and she looks like she had a
few to drink.
So did you notice who they left out
of the – of the – of the
– No.
Who did they leave out?
They left out Brigitte Bardot, Robert Carradine.
Really?
Yeah.
Richard Chamberlain.
Wow.
And they left out David Kiley, who invented
IMAX.
Huh.
It was – I couldn't watch it.
I wouldn't watch it.
John described – he was – since he
was in the hospital, he had nothing else
to do.
He described early on – Oh, he watched
it?
Yeah.
Well, twice, I think.
Early on, there were three people who were
up on stage, and the first two got
to speak, and the third one – the
music cued up, and she was like, oh,
okay.
And then somebody said, no, no, you're with
Netflix.
Thank Netflix.
And they stopped – they didn't lower the
music.
They just stopped it to allow her to
give her Netflix plug.
So your stance towards famous people, the way
I just heard you talk about her and
say that she was looking around to see
if anyone recognized her, you could be a
Dutch person.
Dutch – this is how Dutch people are
around celebrities.
Overnight, I was famous in the Netherlands at
19 years of age because I was doing
a live music show on one of the
two television stations, and there was nothing else
to watch.
That was it.
And I would be in a store or
somewhere, and people would come up to me
and said, I don't know who you are
because I don't watch television.
And that reminds me of you, Mimi, this
hatred of people who are famous.
This is very interesting.
And you've mentioned this to me.
You said, I don't get celebrity.
I don't like famous people.
What is your problem, Heidi?
Well, wait a minute.
Let's go back.
My father's mother, my grandmother, my actually native
grandmother, was on stage.
She was actually a very famous stage actress.
And she's the one who introduced W.C.
Fields to her producers and got him in
a play called Poppy, which later became Sally
of the Sawdust, his first motion picture.
Her name was Emma Janvier.
And Emma Janvier died in 1921, 22, right
around there, during the production of Poppy.
And so my dad knew everybody as a
kid, everybody in the whole business.
I mean, people that no one will remember.
And as a little kid, I'd ask him,
because W.C. Fields and my dad stayed
close all through my dad's life.
Tell people who W.C. Fields was, because
I don't think everybody knows him.
20-year-olds don't even know who Michael
Jackson is.
So you've got to explain.
Okay.
W.C. Fields was a vaudevillian juggler, one
of the best jugglers in the world.
He juggled whole cigar boxes, and many of
them.
Yeah, I know.
And he was mostly in vaudeville, which is
how Emma knew him, because Emma was also
in vaudeville.
Emma got him into that one play, which
led to the movies.
And he was in a series of movies.
He did a lot of radio shows.
He was exceptionally popular because he was such
a goofball character.
And he had a funny delivery.
He'd be like, you know, my little chickadee.
And I would ask my dad as a
kid, did he talk like that?
And my dad would go, no, he talked
just like you and me.
What do you think?
He's just a person.
So in my life, I've been able to
meet lots of people who are famous, and
some people, you know, I feel sorry for
them.
Because you never have a moment without somebody
there or the paparazzi showing up and taking
pictures or people just intruding on you.
And so I've always just kind of like,
you know, I've— Let me say this about
that.
Yes, you know about that.
Yes, I do.
I am uniquely qualified to discuss this.
Any celebrity can get around that.
Yeah.
You can get around it.
You may have some restrictions on your life,
like maybe you can't eat at the Ivy
in Hollywood.
Or in an Out Burger with an Oscar
in your hand.
Maybe, maybe.
You know, I've had in the Netherlands when
I was with my first wife before we
were married, it was quite scandalous.
She was still married.
She was 16 years my senior, both in
show business, small country.
We had photographers in the trash can.
I kid you not.
It was hilarious.
But in general, it was quite easy to
get around stuff and not— I never felt
like, oh, I have no privacy.
I can't live.
You know, you don't have to live in
the big house in Brentwood.
You know, you can live all kinds of
different places.
Hollywood is not Hollywood.
You don't need to live there, which is
why I have so much respect for, you
know, many— like Harrison Ford doesn't need to
live somewhere in Montana or whatever.
Go away.
Go live somewhere else.
I have enjoyed fame for it, and I
can—I remember three specific instances.
And people know me from two things, and
it's been fantastic.
So when I was in my 1920s, I
was known in Holland and across Europe.
There was one scary kind of time when
I got mobbed at an airport in Portugal,
but it was also cool.
I'm like, wow, look at this.
I'm like the Beatles.
It was awesome.
But I was, you know, I was 20
or whatever, so it was—yeah, 20.
I remember moving to New York in the
late—mid to late 80s, and I was just
on MTV.
MTV had just gone to basic cable, 40
million households, so it was definitely a thing.
And we lived on 56th and Broadway, and
we walked to the Hard Rock Cafe on
57th.
And the Hard Rock, it was such a
thing.
I mean, people stood in line to get
into the Hard Rock.
And so we were in line, you know,
and I had my baseball cap on, whatever,
you know.
It wasn't necessarily a look at me.
I'm Adam Curry with the hair all poofed
up.
And I remember the doorman rushing up to
me and saying, hey, Adam, hey, man, you
don't have to stand in line.
Come on in.
And so we got in.
We ate for free.
They gave us all kinds of cool Hard
Rock stuff.
I remember thinking to myself, wow, that's really
odd.
Like two weeks ago, I would have had
to stay in the line, and now I'm
in here eating for free, getting free swag.
This is great.
And so that was the one time.
And so I'm either known for, you know,
those days.
I was known for MTV for a long
time.
It was bad and also not good for
me after I left MTV.
I started my company.
This became a big company.
We took it public on NASDAQ in 96,
and we had big customers, Budweiser, Reebok, IBM,
Avon.
Fortune 500 companies at the time.
And it was great because we do a
sales meeting, and pretty much this all fell
on the marketing department.
But they'd always bring in the IT guys,
so I could swoon over the ladies in
the marketing department who were going to make
decisions.
But I also had the technological background to
talk to the IT nerds.
That was good.
But the bad part was whenever we screwed
up, it's like I had to go fly,
and I had to go apologize to the
ladies in the marketing department.
I'll send the MTV guy in.
And now in my early 60s, I'm 61,
but ever since my 50s, you know, I've
been in Texas, kind of, you know, low
profile.
I'm just a dude.
You know, I'm a podcaster.
I'm known from Rogan and from podcasting.
And the only benefit, which I enjoy tremendously,
is that restaurants will always get me a
good table.
The owner always comes over.
He's got a Metallica t-shirt underneath, you
know.
And I have to say it's fantastic.
I love it.
And I'm a great tipper.
But value for value, baby.
I'm a value for value tipper.
I'm a great tipper because I was a
waitress for a long time.
So, okay, I've had this convoluted background, lived
in Reno and then lived in Iran, and
then came to California for a year.
And then my parents were deciding we went
back to Reno.
And my father was going back to being
a merchant marine, so he got offered a
job with Mattson Lines from Hawaii to the
West Coast.
So we went and stayed in Hawaii for
the entire three months of the summer because
my mother needed to be convinced that she
could live in Hawaii because that would be
my dad's home base in Honolulu.
So this was back before jumbo jets.
So Hawaii wasn't super crowded.
It was just for the ultra rich.
And we stayed at the Royal Hawaiian for
three months.
I had a great childhood.
This was like 68.
So my parents just let me have run
of the hotel.
So I could go down.
I could sign for food.
I could go to the beach before dawn,
and I usually left the room right before
dawn because I was a kid.
I had no controls.
I was everywhere.
So my favorite thing to do would be
to go sit next to the pool in
the Royal Hawaiian right before dawn because it
was amazing.
You could smell the plumeria, and you could
get all these great intoxicating scents, and then
breakfast would start, and it would slowly evolve
into the city waking up and the smell
of bacon cooking and all that.
So one morning I'm down there, and I've
got my feet in the pool, and somebody
comes up and sits down next to me,
and he was a couple years older than
me.
Really nice.
We hung out with each other for several
mornings.
But that one morning we just talked, and
he talked about what a burden it was
to be famous.
And he really influenced me in a lot
of ways because I could see it through
his eyes because he was really lamenting it.
I was lamenting being lonely because I had
my brother in Reno.
My brother had gone off to the university.
I kept getting ripped back and forth away
from friends, and I'm in Hawaii.
I don't know anybody.
I'm just the brat kid in the hotel.
And so for several mornings we would hang
out.
We'd run the beach before dawn.
We just had a great time.
And then his entourage would come down and
take him away.
And so then— You lost your train of
thought, didn't you?
No, I was just trying to go which
direction to go, whether I tell you who
it is.
So one night my parents and I were
getting ready to go out to dinner, and
my parents went to restaurants constantly.
And in the lobby, we'd come up on
him and his entourage, and he comes up,
and he says, Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
I have loved hanging out with your daughter.
She's been the bright point in my world.
Mimi has been so kind to me.
Would you please come as my guest to
my performance tonight?
And here we go.
The big reveal.
Who was it?
It was Jim Morrison.
Wow.
Wait a minute.
John, is that where you met Mimi?
No.
Hey, Dvorak, you missed your cue.
You missed your cue.
I know I missed the cue.
You guys are off the road.
You've driven off the road.
You're bouncing around in the desert now.
Ladies and gentlemen, he's back from the dead.
He lives.
Hey, you blew my punchline.
Yes, I'm out of the hospital, and I
should be doing the show on Sunday.
And I couldn't help it.
Since Adam invited me, hey, you could maybe
jump in the show here.
I kind of feel like it.
And he steps on my punchline.
So we have a group here.
Hold on.
Mimi's complaining that you blew her punchline.
Let her get the punchline.
I know the punchline.
That's why I did it.
Oh, the Bickerson's are back.
So I'm actually given this opportunity.
You can't get her back on the road.
No.
Okay, you tell it.
I'm going to be silent.
Go ahead, John.
You can tell him.
You do the punchline for me.
I forgot the punchline.
Okay.
Wow.
So, yeah, never mind.
I'll tell you later.
No, no, no.
Everyone's on pins and needles.
Now we need to know.
So hold on.
It was Jim Morrison.
Right.
And he was getting ready to play the
big venue in Hawaii for one night.
And he invites my parents to come to
backstage to be able to see a show.
And before he even gets it out, my
mother goes, no, no, thank you.
No.
And we go to dinner.
That's the punchline.
That is a good story.
That is a great story.
Hey, John, Mimi has been doing the show,
been filling in for you, been doing fantastic.
I have definitely concluded that without either one
of us, no agenda is not a show.
I miss you.
But Mimi's been pretty fun.
I got to be honest.
No, she's good.
Except when she goes off driving off the
road.
Because what she was doing there, if you
remember, you're the one that triggered it, by
the way.
You basically said, Mimi, give us a shaggy
dog story on how you hate celebrities.
I did not.
And the end of the shaggy dog story
is, no, I don't feel it.
It's just like the guy sitting at the
table and saying, hey, hey, Frank, Frank, Frank
Sinatra, say hi to me when you come
by because that's going to impress this girl.
And then Frank goes and is walking by
the guy at the table.
And the guy is on the phone and
looks up at Frank.
He says, hey, hey, later maybe.
It's a kind of similar material.
So anyway, I'll be doing the show on
Sunday.
You sound the same.
It's like nothing.
Did you did you just go to the
Seychelles on vacation?
You don't sound like you've been operated on
at all.
At all.
Right.
Yeah.
Have your chest cracked open some day.
See what you think.
No, thank you.
I'll pass.
I'll pass if you don't mind.
Well, clearly, John got a good night's sleep
last night.
I did not.
Why?
It's almost impossible to sleep because I like
to sleep.
I'm a side sleeper just like Tucker.
I know.
I'm looking for somebody to claw me.
And it hasn't happened.
Ooh, a callback.
Nice.
He's on the phone.
And so I can't do that.
I have to sleep on my back.
And it's very tedious.
Aw.
Tedious is not good.
There is something in your voice that is
different.
There's like a small extra spark of enthusiasm.
Do you think that's possible?
I miss the audience.
Yeah.
The trolls miss you.
I miss you doing it.
Yeah.
Do you miss your wife at all?
I mean, just as an aside.
What?
I like the fact that she says it's
hard to do this three hours of yackety
-yack.
In the whole week of finding clips.
But I do better on ISOs than you
do.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's got nine ISOs.
Well, and also, by the way, I miss
you, Adam.
Aw.
Thank you, John.
So everybody out there should note that.
Yes.
And I miss you, too.
I said that to you privately.
I said, man, I miss you.
And I said it to Tina.
I said, you know, I never thought I'd
say...
Because initially...
I never thought I'd think that.
No.
No, this is interesting.
Because, you know, like a week ago, Tina's
like, can you call, John?
I'm like, what am I going to say?
We've got nothing to say to each other.
You've been around us when we're not on
the show.
I've got nothing to say.
And she's like, what?
I said, no, whatever.
He's okay.
And then, you know, I was like, Brunetti.
He said, oh, I talked to John Horowitz.
Oh, I talked to John.
I'm like, okay, now I got to talk
to John.
And I talked to you.
I was like, oh, I really miss this
guy.
It's, you know, 18 years is a long
time.
Yeah.
He didn't grouse for the first week, which
really scared me.
What, when you were married, the first week
of your marriage?
No, the first week he was in the
hospital, he barely groused.
He'd be like, uh.
And I was like, where's John?
I want John back.
I want him to say something mean to
me.
There you go.
On that note, like I said, I'll be
on Sunday.
And I hope you guys, I'll leave you
alone.
I was actually going to, intending on jumping
on the, into the stream during the donations
as a bonus.
We're just about to get into the donation
segment.
Yeah, well, this is good enough.
And so I, yes.
Okay.
So excuse me and I'll be on my
way.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, there he is.
John C.
Dvorak.
He put the C in cardiac arrest.
Beautiful.
All right.
All right, buddy.
I'll talk to you on Sunday.
Gotcha.
All right.
I'm disconnecting you now because I don't trust
you.
All right.
There we go.
So let's thank some people, Mimi, who have
been kind enough to, to support us.
And first was mentioned that this is a
value for value podcast.
Whatever value you get out of the podcast,
the whole idea is you put it right
back into it.
And you can do that with your time,
your talent, your treasure, any amount, any type
of talent or time.
Lots of people help out doing meetups.
People build websites, maintain servers, void zero, always
making sure that we're up and running.
And there's always the, the artwork, which has
gotten easier for people to do.
But still it's, there's real work involved, you
know, typing.
So we want to thank the artists for
episode 1851.
We titled that one, Mark and Mimi.
I couldn't resist.
And the artwork was from the Baron Darren
O'Neill.
This was one that John would have liked.
Typically I would have said like, ah, it's
too busy.
It looks like a cartoon, but because we
had that whole lobster gate bit.
Did you see the art?
I did not.
I'm sorry.
Oh, well, thanks.
Darren's happy to hear that.
It was, it was a dynamite piece, you
know, it was lobsters and the lobsters were
going to war.
And, you know, it was, it was a
very classy, classy, classy classic piece for no
agenda.
And Baron Darren O'Neill did a great
job on that.
And next week we'll return to grousing about
the art.
John and I will be doing it together.
But first I'm going to thank our executive
and associate executive producers for episode 1852.
We thank everybody $50 and above.
You can send your support to the show,
your value to noagendadonations.com.
We kick it off with an anonymous donation
from Marietta, Georgia, $1,000.
Boom.
And here's the note that anonymous sent.
John and Adam, and I'm going to add
Mimi there.
I just want to say thank you for
the last 18 years.
I'm 38 years old, middle-aged, and I've
been listening to you guys for my entire
adult life.
I've graduated college, started a career, married my
wife of 15 years, got a second degree,
have three wonderful children, and started a successful
business.
I'm hoping one of those or two of
those kids are named John and Adam, because
that is kind of the agreement.
Or Mimi.
John, Adam, Mimi.
There you go.
There's the kids.
Hey, kids.
There have been wars, economic turmoil, presidencies, the
pandemic, and much more between now and then.
A lot has happened between then and now.
And I guess what I'm trying to say
is that I'm grateful, I'm grateful that you
guys have been a consistent source of reason,
humor, and calm.
I imagine sometimes it's nice to look back
on your body of work.
Oh, it's such a body of work.
Here's Whitesnake.
And feel like it made an impact.
That it was worth it.
That it was worth something.
And I hope, well, yes, a note like
this makes it worth it.
And I hope you two know that what
you have done for the last 18 years
was a worthy endeavor.
Is this like a eulogy?
Are we both dead now?
Is that what's going on here?
Not just for me, but I suspect for
many others living life with you from a
distance.
John's recent heart surgery made me realize that
one day the show will end.
And that thought made me take a stock
in how much I've appreciated you over the
last 18 years.
I didn't want to wait another day to
say a simple thank you.
So thank you from Anonymous.
That's a nice note.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's actually lovely.
So that means it's a night now, right?
Yes.
But, of course, I guess we'll be doing
that on Sunday, all nightings and day mings.
Do it next Thursday, because that gives John
time to get back into it before you're
swinging around that sword for so much.
Yeah, good point.
We don't want him to pull something.
So the next one is Don Tommaso DiTorrento.
Yes.
From Kettleby, Ontario, Canada.
$888.88. I sense the give reason John
a reason to live.
Yes.
From Don Tommaso DiTorrento.
No jingles, just JCD karma.
You've got karma.
Coming in with $388.
Got those lucky $88 in there.
Sir Chris and Dame Kristen from Carmel-by
-the-Sea, California.
Lovely place.
Is Clint Eastwood still the mayor over there?
Carmel?
Wasn't he the mayor of Carmel?
Maybe.
And you see the attached note?
Here it is.
Dear John, I rode the California Zephyr down
from Truckee and naturally thought of you and
hope you're getting along okay.
Oh, these are all beautiful get well cards.
Hope you're getting, yeah.
Here's wishing you love and luck from Dame
Kristen and me for a speedy recovery.
All the best to you and the entire
No Agenda family.
Cheers.
That's beautiful.
And Baron Sir Cycle Path from Charlotte, North
Carolina.
$333.34. Get well, John.
Yes.
Very nice.
When you play it once, people, of course,
start to request it right away.
William Jennison from Gresham in Oregon says, I
love you guys.
Just want some karma for John.
Also first time donor, so a de-douching
would be cool.
You've been de-douched.
And he winds up with Adam.
You're amazing.
Amen.
I love ants.
All right.
We'll play a little bit of the ant
song, even though we played lots of it
on the last show.
It is indeed the classic.
I got ants.
You've got karma.
Okay.
Dennis Cadle of Tampa, Florida.
$333.33. ITM gentlemen, and to our fabulous

All right.
Very nice.
Nigel Ewen, I'm thinking, Columbus, Ohio, RoveDucks, 2
.22 and 22 cents.
Thanks for continuing the show in John's absence.
This is the perfect time to ask Mimi,
where's our signed photo of you and John
on your wedding day?
We donated for this special promotion in 2018
and are still waiting to receive this keepsake
photo.
You've got to talk to John about that.
I don't know where he put them, but
we'll get you something signed.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
It's all on Dvorak.org slash NA.
It's safely stored.
Don't worry.
Yeah.
Sam Rickman, Peck, Michigan, $200 and 88 cents.
Adam, John, and Mimi, along with the rest
of the back office, thank you for all
you do.
John, I'm 35 years old, born with a
congenital heart defect, and I've had three open
heart surgeries by the time I was 14.
Show off.
That's time for a zipper.
I have a horror story or two.
F that one surgeon, but it's not as
bad as everyone claims, especially with morphine and
you're in good hands.
Anyway, I wish John the best of luck
in his recovery and simply ask for some
health karma for John and some relationship karma
for myself.
Love and light, Sam Rickman.
You've got karma.

NoAgendaDonations.com, congratulations to these Executive and Associate
Executives.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the
mouth.
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Yeah!
Oh, this was a nice story.
So, the dog shooter got kicked out, Kristi
Noem.
Yeah, yep.
And did you see any of the confirmation
hearing with this new guy, Mullen?
I did, but he doesn't have much personality.
Oh, did you see the tearjerker moment?
No.
Oh, this is, I mean, I saw this,
I'm like, you're confirmed.
Oh, wait a minute, I hate Trump, I
can't confirm him, but wait, I'm confused.
So, my son was a really world-class
athlete, and January 17th of 2020, which, mind
you, was an election year, he had a
really serious brain injury.
And the President found out about it, and
he gave me a call immediately.
He didn't understand the severity of it, but
he heard it in my voice, and immediately
he went to work.
He called almost every day for two weeks,
checking on Jim.
And then he says, I'm going to come
see him.
The Senator told us that the short-term
memory loss, something would trigger it.
Some big event would eventually trigger where he
would start retaining stuff.
Until then, he was still having issues.
And the President arrived, and for the next
15 minutes, he did nothing but love on
my son.
That one incident jogged his memory.
And from then on, he started retaining things.
And Jim's attitude went from this, you know,
we're going to get through it, to this,
I'm going to get through it.
When we got released a little bit, the
President said, come to Mar-a-Lago and
see me.
We go down there, and it was amazing.
And when we're leaving, dang it, I hate
getting emotional.
See, if I talk about my kids, I
get emotional.
Other than that, you can't make me cry.
Anyways, he grabbed my son, and he said,
do you know why I love your dad?
Do you know why I love your dad?
Chris, he tells the story better than I
do.
And he goes, no, sir.
He goes, because he loves you, because of
you, because of you.
Man, he didn't do it for any other
reason.
I mean, here's the President of the United
States, and he did it just because he
cared.
I believe that story.
Yeah.
I totally believe that.
Yeah.
Aw.
Yeah.
You know, I think more people should get
choked up when they speak.
Yes.
I'll try and do it on Sunday.
It may not be easy.
I'm going to try and get choked up
and try and be all emotional about it,
because I'm sure John will hate it.
I'm sure he would.
He said he missed me.
Did you hear him?
You heard him.
He said he missed me.
I heard it.
You got it on tape, right?
Yeah.
OK.
Right next to, right next to.
I can't stand one more fucking jello cup.
Yeah.
Right next to that one.
I record.
It's all recorded.
All right.
You're out in California.
Let's talk.
Let's talk fraud.
But I mean, you're out in California on
the West Coast.
You're on the fraud coast.
Well, do we want to talk about Chavez
first?
Getting canceled?
Yeah, sure.
Whatever.
That's fine.
OK.
Let's start with that.
I have no idea what's going on.
Chavez getting canceled.
Here we go.
All right.
Let's start with the troubling details of a
New York Times investigation into sexual assault allegations
against farm labor icon and Arizona native Cesar
Chavez.
Two women have now come forward to accuse
Chavez of rape, and several others say he
sexually abused them.
Perhaps most shocking is the account from Dolores
Huerta, the now 95-year-old co-founder
of the UFW.
And now tonight, several groups and cities are
canceling events in Chavez's name.
Brian Webb is live to continue our coverage
tonight.
Hi, Christina.
The Cesar Chavez name is all over the
valley, from schools to dog parks, and this
plaza in downtown Phoenix right by City Hall.
Not to mention several events on Cesar Chavez
Day, March 31st.
But that is quickly changing after interviews of
more than 60 aides and relatives, union records,
pictures, e-mails, and recordings.
Pictures of Cesar Chavez are already off the
walls at El Portal Restaurant in South Phoenix.
The owner knew, worked, and revered Chavez, Mary
Rose Wilcox.
Very humble, very passionate about making sure that
social justice got carried out for all people.
Wilcox served on the Phoenix City Council and
was a supervisor in Maricopa County.
But before that, she was an immigration activist
and first met Chavez in 1971, helping organize
unions for farm workers.
She remembers him as humble and kind.
Just heartbroken about him.
You know, I'm really torn, because I really,
you know, revered Chavez.
And now I look at it, and I'm
just sick about it.
You know, I found out last night, and
my husband and I both had a terrible
night.
And this morning we woke up and said,
we have to make a statement.
And you know, you're really torn, because there's
two Chavez's.
There's the one Chavez who did all these
good things and passed all this legislation, and
was a passionate man who won farm workers'
rights.
And now you find out there was another
Chavez we didn't know.
Is this the old Hugo Chavez?
The old old dude?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cesar.
He died.
But how old are these women?
In their 80s and 90s.
Oh, okay.
They don't sound like it.
They don't sound that old.
Well, I mean, it'd be a little late
to speak up.
So they're tearing down history.
This is absolutely tearing down history.
You know, I met Cesar in about 72.
Here we go.
Of course I did.
We are going into the story.
Is this going to be one where your
mom said, we're not going to Cuba?
Is that how this ends?
No, no.
Cesar was from Arizona.
No, he was okay.
I mean, it was, my boyfriend at the
time's father worked for the co-op stores,
and he was big on the civil rights
movement, and Cesar, he was helping Cesar.
So this is a prime example of tearing
down history for a reason.
Yes.
So I start looking around to try to
figure out why, and it becomes very obvious
when you listen to some of his old
speeches, because- Oh, yeah.
He hated illegal immigration.
So I have a 1972 interview and a
1974 interview.
All right.
72.
We've gotten very few.
And then all of a sudden, yesterday morning,
they brought in 220 wetbacks.
These are the illegals from Mexico.
Now, there's no way to defend against that
kind of strike breaking.
And so therefore, the only way to win
strikes is by then taking our fight to
the citizens, to the people in the city
especially, and have them help us boycott those
products that were striking.
And we need that.
And that's the only way we've been able
to get contracts.
And I venture to say that without that,
we couldn't possibly organize unions.
So what would happen was they would, at
the time the grapes were a big thing,
boycott grapes.
But the workers had stopped working in an
attempt to force the owners and everybody in
the area to give them decent wages.
So the next interview actually tells really what
happened.
It's a great interview.
This question of the illegals is I find
very interesting.
Would you say that it's at this particular
moment as important as any of the other
problems facing the union?
Oh, yes.
In the last three weeks, it's become...
In the last two weeks, it has become
an emergency for us.
There's an awful lot of illegals coming in.
By the hundreds, by the thousands, our people
are not only in some of the crews
where there's now strike breaking, some of those
crews are 100% illegals outright, openly, with
no attempt to disguise it.
And so it's so bad now that we
estimate 60 to 70% of the farm
workers in California are the resident worker, the
citizen is out of a job because of
the wetbacks.
They're coming in by the thousands, just unbelievable.
See, they're coming in with a consent of
the Immigration Service, which is part of the
Department of Justice.
How else could they come?
We, for instance, know that if you go
to Coachella, you go around the El Paso
area, the second day immigration checkpoints have been
unmanned now for, oh, at least three, four
weeks.
They're closed.
At night, they're dark.
There aren't any patrolmen there.
It's a gimmick.
We think that it's a prelude at the
beginning to a big drive on the part
of the administration and the Mexican government to
bring the Bracero program again.
It's a vicious attack on the local worker,
and it's just one of those things that
every business thinks they can get away with
it, and our job is to inform the
whole country what's happening, together with a boycott,
and solve it that way.
Who was president then?
It was Nixon and then Gerald Ford.
So the Bracero program was started after World
War II to bring contract workers up from
Mexico, and then they could stay for a
visa, then they had to go back.
And that happened all the time.
Yeah.
But in this case, he was for the
farm workers who were, you know.
Here legally.
Here legally, right.
So I think this is an attempt to
completely erase his memory.
It's completely erased how he began a labor
movement.
But when I start looking around, I think
that Martin Luther King Jr. should be a
little afraid.
Can you play that clip?
I have a dream that my four little
children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the
color of their skin, but by the content
of their character.
I have a dream today.
Martin Luther King Jr. remains one of the
most revered figures of the 20th century.
A minister, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and
the voice of the civil rights movement whose
I have a dream speech continues to echo
through history.
Yet behind the pulpit and marches lay a
private life now shadowed by controversy.
Recently unearthed FBI files and reports from the
National Archives have resurfaced shocking allegations of King's
serial infidelity.
He had sexual encounters with up to 40
women and was present during acts of abuse
by others.
Yeah.
Why do you think that?
Who do you think is behind this?
Why?
Why are they doing this?
Hello?
No, I lost you, Mimi.
I see you're connected.
Hello?
Hello, Mimi?
Oh, there you are.
There you are.
You back?
No.
No, you've muted yourself now.
What happened?
That was odd.
Hello?
I see you're still connected.
Yeah, you're mute.
Now you've muted yourself.
So click on the green microphone and unmute
yourself.
Hello?
Podcaster down!
You've got to, you've got to click unmute
on the green button.
Yeah, are you okay?
Now I'm concerned, because I know you can
hear me, so you've muted yourself, but what?
Oh, oh no!
She's left!
All right, we'll set a time marker here,
and we'll see what happens.
There we go.
Connecting?
Ah, you're still muted.
Click the green microphone button, or the white
microphone button.
Hmm.
All right, there I am.
Am I back on?
Yeah, what happened?
Solar flares.
Oh, okay.
Solar flare.
So my question was, why do you think
this is happening right now?
I think it's happening because of the whole
ice thing.
They can't have a hero who's talking about
wetbacks and illegal immigrants.
I think that's part of it.
And I think that it's just heavy-handed.
It's like, are we trying to destroy the
Farm Workers Union?
Are we trying to...
I think it's a backlash against him.
You know, but it's like, let's tear down
history.
Let's rewrite history, because I'm seeing history being
rewritten every which way.
Well, hold on, but this is true history,
is it not?
What part?
The women who are 80 years old suddenly
remembering that they were...
Yeah, that's probably true.
The Martin Luther King stuff is probably true.
I mean, there's lots of evidence of that.
Yeah, and let's wait until people are dead
and they can't defend themselves.
Well, yeah, that's what you do.
You know, I find it to be a
little...
Yeah, I know.
It's just, I think it's just, it's more...
I think it's falsely...
Like, we've had a lot of things up
here where entire narratives have been changed in
history.
And I think that, you know, rearranging, rewriting
history is not a good thing.
But that, you know, it plays into, you
know, all the fraud.
Okay.
Well, I'll just say that, you know, I
like it when history is...
When a different history emerges, such as we
didn't land on the moon.
I like it when that emerges.
I like it when those things happen.
Now, this doesn't bother me that much.
To me, it's not quite the same as
taking down statues of Washington and Jefferson or,
you know, that's a little different.
Do you...
The street names are getting changed.
They took...
They're taking away his day that they just...
Obama was the one who gave Caesar Chavez
Day on March 31st.
Oh, well, okay.
There you go.
They're renaming schools and dog parks.
I mean, it is completely erasing him from
history.
It's not adding a footnote.
Oh, okay.
All right.
No, I disagree with that.
I don't think that's necessary.
That's interesting.
I've not picked up on this happening at
all.
You know, there are tons and tons of...
Fraud that's going on is unbelievable to me.
Yes.
Tina's been keeping me up to speed on
that a little bit.
So, there was a petition fraud in California.
It's ABC.
All right.
A video making its rounds on social media
appears to show people getting paid $5 to
sign a ballot initiative.
And it has people really criticizing the signature
-gathering process.
Take a look at this video.
This was posted on X by JJ Smith,
who tells us that he saw this happen
in San Francisco.
He says that he noticed a line of
people waiting to sign what appears to be
ballot initiatives at a table.
One of the people in line tells him
that you can receive $5 if you sign
the petition.
Now, in the video, a woman behind the
table appears to tell people what name and
address to sign on that petition.
Smith says the entire encounter made him question
the legality of the process.
They was coaching them to what name they
signed, what address and what city.
And right there that rang the bell in
my head is like, that turned on a
light in my head, like, that's not legal.
Why not sign your own name?
Building a Better California is a policy organization
who says this was one of their campaign
documents that was being signed.
A spokesperson with the organization says they are
outraged and do not tolerate this type of
fraudulent activity in the signature-gathering process.
Yeah, this is one part of it.
The Medicare fraud is what's most unbelievable.
And unfortunately, they're throwing people in jail who
are just pawns in the whole game.
Well, let's go back.
OK.
The billionaire's tax in California, they have to
come up with 800,000 valid signatures by
June.
Oh, I see what's happening.
The whole initiative is sponsored by the SEIUHW,
which is a California-based union of over
100,000 health care workers.
The group's leadership usually accuses corporations of Medicare
fraud, but they've also had a lot of
internal allegations of corruption, including in 2023 when
the SEIU vice president was convicted in federal
court of 14 counts, which included embezzlement of
union funds, tax violations, and mail fraud.
Oh, we're gambling.
Which leads us right into Nick Shirley just
dropped a new video.
Yeah.
Oh, you said dropped.
OK, he dropped.
Yes, he dropped a new video.
Do you want to do this billionaire's tax
first?
You know, I'm going to leave that for
John because he'll love to go into that
more because this is not going to go
away.
OK.
So, which Nick Shirley?
Nick Shirley knew on California fraud.
California may have the largest amount of fraud
in the country as California is the state
with the highest taxes and collects more money
than any other state in America.
It is filled with fraud.
California's version of Medicaid called Medi-Cal has
more than doubled since 2022 from $108 billion
to a proposed $222 billion in 2026.
Their population, however, has not grown exponentially.
However, their spending has.
There has been a thousand percent increase in
hospice care in the Los Angeles County.
In fact, one out of every ten dollars
of home health care in America is spent
in Los Angeles.
On top of that, their government funded daycare
programs are filled with violations while they continue
to give money to these fraudsters.
It is estimated that the fraud in California
could be in the hundreds of billions of
dollars.
Yeah.
Good reason to tax billionaires.
So Nick went to an old motel that
has been converted into office spaces.
There were 80 some hospices in this one
place.
Some were empty, you know, just like the
whole thing with child care in Minnesota.
Lots of expensive cars in the parking lot.
So then later in his video, he does
outline how this works.
And that's the Nick Shirley outlines.
The way these hospices are able to enroll
these people and collect money from Medicare and
MediCal here inside of California is they collect
the Medicare numbers from individuals and then sign
them up for hospice without them even knowing.
I actually went and spoke with a professional
inside of the medical industry to get her
opinion on how this all works.
We're seeing all these hospices pop up here.
Why is hospice and home health care such
a booming business right now?
I think it's become a trend of fraud.
Honestly, has like I heard about this about
five years ago during covid that people were
building hospices and selling them.
It was like a business.
These people made.
So it's an easy, I think, easy way
to build Medicare with their people's beneficiary numbers
that people can easily steal and even purchase
and buy.
They buy numbers from people and tell them,
give me your Medicare beneficiary number and I
will give you something in return.
And what does that mean?
Give you my beneficiary.
So there's an ID that you have.
Medicare gives you Medicare is for anybody 65
and over.
So they'll give you a Medicare ID number.
And that number is what's used to build
Medicare.
So essentially, if they can get a number
from somebody, it's almost like getting a credit
card number.
And then from there, they can continue to
bill and bill and bill and get that
Medicare money.
Exactly.
It's actually more beneficial than finding a credit
card.
These days, anybody can get a hospice license.
Actually, you don't need to be a physician.
You don't need to be a doctor.
You can apply and get a hospice license
in the state of California.
They bill, they take the Medicare numbers, they
bill Medicare, the Medicare sends them a check
right away.
It's an easy process.
And what kind of people are doing this
in California?
Regular old Californians?
Well, so far it's been identified as being
the Armenian mob and some other mobs.
But what's really interesting about all this.
So, you know, Nick Shirley is saying, oh,
I just discovered this.
Except California.
And I actually sent it to you for
the show notes.
California's own fraud investigation department, their auditing department,
found that the state's licensure and oversight of
hospice agencies in 2019 that Los Angeles County
has experienced a 1,500 percent increase in
its number of hospice agencies since 2010.
It had more than six and a half
times the nationwide average of hospice agencies relative
to its age population in 2019.
They found indicators of large scale fraud that
likely include fraudulent billing to Medicare and Medi
-Cal, including the apparent use of stolen identities
of medical personnel to obtain licenses.
So they they knew that in 2019, a
big report was done in 2020.
But meanwhile, we have Newsom, who said 10
months ago, part one.
So we're doge, but better.
And we've been doge, but better for literally
six years.
Doge, but better.
Yes.
Doge, but better.
And then he has more word salad on
part two.
You know, you can go back.
There's amazing that we still have the tapes
of our announcements around ODI and all of
these reforms and efficiencies that we've been advancing
for years and years and years.
It's just, again, difficult to sort of break
out of that.
You know, the attention challenge.
OK, so you've been watching Nick Shirley for
a while, I believe.
For two years, at least.
Yeah.
So I was first introduced to him with
the Minnesota Leering Center videos.
Yep.
And he had this guy next to him,
Bob.
You know, Bob is never introduced to us.
Bob's got all the paperwork.
I think it was Dave.
Dave.
I think it was Dave.
Bob, Dave, Pete.
Same thing.
He's got all the information.
Is this the same?
Because I suspect that someone saw what Nick
Shirley was doing and went, this is a
great way to to show this fraud because
it never works when you get Pam Bondi
standing up there in front of the press.
And, you know, it doesn't work.
But this is a this is a stealth
way of getting people outraged.
Does he have another Dave, Bob or Pete
with him when he's out in California?
He has he during the video, he has
a couple of different people.
What I think is just emotional support.
He's got his I mean, some of the
situations he's getting himself into looks really scary
to me.
But this is all common knowledge.
I mean, this is like there is a
there is a government report from 2019 that
was published in 2020 that says, oh, yeah,
this is a huge problem.
There are other podcasters, video podcasters, whatever you
call them, YouTubers, YouTubers, YouTubers who've been putting
up information all along but couldn't get any
traction because, you know, it's he's got the
best platform.
Why?
But why?
Why?
Why did this?
I'm telling you that this there's someone on
the inside working with him, giving him stuff,
helping him, showing him juicing something.
Well, well, actually, somebody asked.
I wonder.
I think it's probably Trump.
I have a not you.
We Trump personally or just the administration.
Trump explains the money.
Oh, OK.
Here we go.
That's what I'm talking about.
You said during your statement that this type
of fraud, the corruption is the type of
thing that can shred the fabric of a
nation.
Why do you suppose that the leaders of
recent memory haven't looked at the systemic amount
of progress that took place?
And because they're crooked.
They make money.
They gain power.
They use it for power.
Like with the Somalians, they vote in a
block.
Hundred percent.
They make a deal with the Somalians.
They all vote because they're on a gravy
train.
It's it's company.
It's it's money first, power second.
A lot of people say power first.
Now it's money first.
Yeah, I'm telling you this.
This this Nick Shirley pop has Trump written
all over it.
Yes, absolutely.
It does.
And I think it's great.
He's got the audience.
He's got the eyes.
And he's such an unassuming little.
Oh, he's so sweet.
He's such a sweet boy.
Yes.
He's having a birthday next month.
I know he's finally going to be older.
Oh, wow.
Oh, was he going to be 12?
Yeah, I think 24.
I think it's a dynamite.
This is the future.
It's a dynamite way to expose fraud through
a YouTuber who's out there with the with
the one camera.
You know, actually, I think he has to.
I've seen him with two shots.
Sometimes two.
Yeah, it's great.
It's a great way to do it.
And man, it is rampant.
And yes, it's hundreds of billions of dollars,
maybe maybe a trillion a year.
Who knows?
Which explains which explains why the billionaire's tax
is such a big deal to California, which
if you want, you can certainly play that
billionaire tax explanation because it's it's pretty much
how much we're losing in Medicare fraud.
Taxes for health care or would it backfire?
That's the debate behind a proposed wealth tax
that could be on the California ballot this
November.
Supporters have to collect about 875,000 signatures
by mid-April just to get it on
the ballot.
But it's already caused a ton of grief
among big names in tech and finance, and
they're not the only ones.
Even Governor Gavin Newsom has come out against
it, saying it would hurt the state's finances
in the long run.
It's a badly drafted effort.
It's already had an outsized impact on the
state.
To get a full understanding, let's let's back
up to step one.
How would the tax actually work?
Could it work?
Well, it's a one-time tax of 5
% of wealth.
Individuals or couples worth more than $1 billion
as of the end of this year would
have to pay it.
That's about 200 people in the entire state.
If you're a billionaire and you live here,
you'd be subject to the proposed tax.
It covers stocks, cash, businesses, just about everything.
What it doesn't cover is real estate, and
you could exempt up to $5 million of
personal property like art or a private jet.
90% of the tax would help cover
federal cuts to healthcare.
The other 10% would help fund education
and food assistance.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of people in the tech
industry do not like this one bit.
One of their biggest claims is that it
would cause the wealthy to move to Nevada
or Texas or Florida.
Here's the problem if that happens.
According to state data, more than 40%
of California's income tax comes from the top
1% of income earners.
So, if lots of the state's rich residents
did leave, California's bank account would get smaller.
Would they actually leave?
It's hard to say.
There's some research that indicates that rich people
actually rarely move in response to new taxes,
and that's because they tend to depend pretty
heavily on social and professional ties to, say,
Silicon Valley.
But also, we've never had a wealth tax
like this before.
Most of the European countries that have tried
it eventually got rid of it.
I gotta show you how to use Adobe
to remove that horrible music.
I know.
I'm sorry.
No, no, it's okay.
It's just like, ugh.
Interesting.
I think they would move.
I think that...
I do too.
I mean, they're already...
But oddly enough, we only need this tax
because of so much fraud.
The money's just flowing out.
Yes.
Next time someone complains about the $3.8
billion we give to Israel that they spend
on our war stuff, remind them of this.
Yeah.
In every state.
Every state this exists.
That's the problem.
Or every blue state.
What is the total Medicare...
I mean, what does the federal government pay
annually in...
Let me see.
Let me ask the robot.
What is the annual federal expenditure...
I'm going to use some big words.
Expenditure for health care from the...
Okay.
For health care.
Boom.
All right.
Let's see.
All right, robot.
I put it in thinking mode, so it'll
take a second.
I think real hard.
I like who's pushing this tax the most
is Bernie Sanders.
Oh, my God.
He's everywhere.
Well, of course.
But what...
Here it is.
Oh, man.
The most recent completed fiscal year, 2025, the
US federal government spent approximately...
How much do you think?
Trillions.
$2.03 trillion.
That's more than a quarter of the total
budget.
Now, that can't all be fraud.
No, but if a hefty portion of it
is...
Yeah, we can buy some more bombs for
Iran.
It's great.
There you go.
Yeah, let's bomb them.
Hey, everybody.
That's right.
We thanked our executive and associate executive producers
earlier.
Now, we are going to thank everybody who
supported the show, $50 or above.
And I think we also have some notes
to read, so let me get the spreadsheet.
And away we go.

8888 donation last week and an extra one
time 50 last year.
I have achieved knighthood with a recurring donation
of $4 per week since late October of
2021.
Slow and steady may not win the race,
but it gets you there in the end.
I would like my night name to be
Sir Vagabond of the Middle Midwest.
At the roundtable, I would like to request
fava beans and a nice Chianti.
And we will order that for the big
knighting ceremony, which we've just determined could be
coming up on Thursday.
And thank you all so much for supporting
us here at the No Agenda show.
No Agenda meetups!
Yeah, we got some meetups.
They're always taking place all over the world.
And today there is indeed one coming up
at 5 o'clock Pacific time because it
will be in Idaho.
It is the NISB Get John back into
the house meetup.
And that'll be at Trail Ends Brewery and
Brick Oven Pizza, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Sir Scott the Jew.
He always sends in fun little meetup reports.
We love them.
None of them today, actually.
Also today, the 5th anniversary Charlotte's Thirsty Third
Thursday monthly meetup.
That'll be at 7 o'clock at Ed's
Tavern in Charlotte, North Carolina, Saturday.
The Naha pop-up.
And that is going to be in Okinawa,
Japan at the Naha Bus Terminal.
I'm sure it's nice.
Actually, I'm sure it is nice.
Sir Hank Itami is hosting that.
And we are expecting a meetup report from
the Naha Bus Terminal in Okinawa, Japan.
I told you we're all over the world.
Los Angeles on Wilshire Boulevard.
This time HMS Bounty.
That is the flight of the No Agenda.
And No.
73 Leo Bravo hosting that on Saturday.
And springtime is here.
Meetup will be at Puckett's Restaurant in Franklin,
Tennessee.
It's right by Nashville.
It's really nice.
Franklin's where all the celebrities live.
That'll be on Saturday at 6 o'clock.
Make sure you catch that one.
Yes?
Did you say something?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought you said something.
No, I'm hearing more.
There's more solar flares.
We're hearing more bings.
It's fine.
Are you joshing me or are there real
solar flares?
Interesting.
I'm far enough north that sometimes we get
them and it screws up our internet and
our cell phones.
Oh, interesting.
I'm glad this is the last time we're
doing this.
It's so annoying.
Hey, finally on Sunday we have the No
ID pop-up meetup for 32 Pacific.
Don't be late.
Don't be early at the Alibi Room.
And that is in Vancouver.
That's British Columbia in Canada.
So make sure you catch that.
More coming up this month on the 28th.
Collierville, Texas, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Beachwood, Victoria, Australia,
and Fukuoka, Kyushu.
Another Japanese meetup.
Hello, Japan.

This is great.
That's on the 4th.
The 11th, Eagle, Idaho, Albany, California.
John might attend.
Lafayette, Louisiana, and Fredericksburg, Texas.
I will definitely be there.
Please come.
If you're in Austin or San Antonio or

You can't miss it.
The 25th of April, Scheveningen in the Netherlands.

That's May.
And Leiden in the Netherlands.
And Eagle, Idaho on the 9th.
Those are just a few of the meetups
that are scheduled.
You can find them all at noagendameetups.com.
Man, if you go to one of these,
I guarantee you will come back for more.
You will meet people there that give you
protection because connection is protection.
They are your first responders in an emergency.
Go to noagendameetups.com.
Find one near you.
If you can't find one, start one yourself.
There's no charge, no licensing, no ID check.
Just put it together.
Have a good time with No Agenda.
Always a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with
all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want to
be.
Triggered or held to blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the
same.
It's like a party.
All right.
Now, Mimi, you came with nine ISOs.
Nine.
I'm an overachiever.
Yes, you are.
And I'm just going to play mine.
What do I have?
I have four of them.
I thought I was loaded for bears, so
I'll play mine first and then we'll go
through yours.
Here we go.
Well, I guess that's it.
That's your boy.
You recognize him?
Uh-huh.
Yeah?
Who is it?
It sounds like Tucker.
No, no.
Listen again.
No, who is it?
Listen again.
You'll get it.
Well, I guess that's it.
You're in love with him.
Asmongold.
Oh, it doesn't sound like him.
That's funny.
All right.
Next one.
I am in love with him.
Yes, I know you are.
Here's the next one.
Okay.
Bye.
This is a classic.
That's important information you might want to write
down, folks.
Okay?
Okay.
And then this is my favorite.
We're pounding it, like really pounding it hard.
Kind of like that one.
All right.
So now, Mimi, I don't even have enough
players on my system to load them all
up.
All right.
Which one do we go?
Do we go in order?
Yes.
Let's go in order.
Okay.
Number one, ride.
Because I can give you a ride if
you need a ride.
Okay.
Number two.
I was not prepared for whatever that was.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
That's a little muddled.
Not that you can help that.
Okay.
Number three.
You can go.
You don't have to.
You can hang around.
I'm still great, but you can go.
Yeah, it's too long.
It's too long.
Okay.
Four.
Show is over.
That's cute.
All right.
This next one is too long, too.
These are too long, but I'll play them.
Okay.
Y'all hear me in there?
Rent was due last thing Thursday.
No more.
That app ain't working, hogwash.
You said that last go around and the
one before that.
Here ain't charity.
It's busy.
No.
Unacceptable.
I know, but it's cute.
Okay.
Gotta get going.
I miss you already.
Stop.
Oh, that's cute.
I like that one.
Let's see.
Another one that's way too long.
Mimi.
Give me your nuts at home.
What is that?
No.
You don't understand ISOs.
All right.
I know, but I thought it was funny.
Okay.
Number eight.
What?
Okay.
You know who that is?
That's Tucker.
Yeah.
And this is a longer one.
What?
What are you even talking about?
I kind of like.
Let me see.
Was it this one?
No.
No, that's not.
I thought this one was kind of what
I like.
Gotta get going.
I miss you already.
Stop.
I kind of like that one.
You get to choose.
Oh, you know what?
I'm fine.
You choose whatever you want.
Number six.
It is, everybody.
And before we go, of course, it is
time for the tip of the day with
the one and only Mimi.
Great advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCB.
And sometimes Adam.
Well, hopefully this isn't one that John's already
done because I'm always raving about this product,
but I think he's doesn't like it because
of the name.
I have four elderly dogs.
So my biggest hobby in life is picking
is cleaning up dog pee.
What is that?
What is elderly?
How old is elderly?
I have a basset hound who is 16
years old, which is twice the age of
a normal basset.
That's up there for sure.
And I've got two 12 year olds and
an 11 year old mastiff.
So they're all quite old.
Okay.
Yeah.
They're all really old.
And are they all incontinent?
Is that what you're telling me?
They all pee every.
Really?
You sure they're just not trained properly?
It's just.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
This is no.
Dogs don't pee when they're walking.
Okay.
So, yeah, my, my animals are getting much
too old and diapers are, I'd be changing
diapers all day.
So I just clean the floor constantly.
So this product is called my pet peed.
No, this has not been featured on the
show.
I guarantee you.
Yeah, I know.
My pet peed.
The last word is P E E D.
It removes pet stains and odors like it's
magic.
It's safe around kids, around pets, around plants.
It gets the smell out.
It's fragrance free.
It does not rely on enzymes.
What's it made of this magic formula?
It's some strange type of hydrogen peroxide.
So it may take the color out of
some natural fiber carpets, but for the most
part, I don't care.
I want the smell out more than I
don't care about color anymore.
Your dogs are peeing on your carpet?
No, I've got washable carpets everywhere.
Rugs everywhere.
I have all hardwood floors or all wood
floors.
Now I know why John doesn't want to
move up there.
It's obvious.
It's a pee house.
Someday I'm going to fall.
I'm going to die because I'm going to
fall on pet pee and I'll just be
in the puddle.
Okay.
Nice visual.
Thank you.
We got it.
You use it straight.
You use it sparingly.
It's expensive.
For a 32-ounce spray, it's $34.95.
The best deal on Amazon is a two
-pack, which is $49.95. I buy it
by the gallon, 128 fluid ounces or Florida
ounces.
That's like $79, $80.
It works so well, though.
It lasts a while.
It really does get the smell out.
It gets stains out of carpets if they're
colorfast.
I use it constantly.
I don't think I would be able to
stand the smell of my house if I
didn't use this stuff.
I've tried everything on the market.
Everything.
Can you also use it if you kill
someone, they bleed out?
Does it get rid of that?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
It would.
You'd do a good job.
Or if you have a pukey family.
Or for a good cleaning product.
If you have a really grimy place that
you've forgotten to clean for years, you spray
some of that on and you leave it
for a couple hours, then you wipe it
up, and it is beautiful.
All right.
Give us the name again of this fabulous
product.
My Pet Peed.
There it is, everybody.
A spooktacular tip of the day from Mamimi.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Burnetti.
Well, there you go.
Mimi, it has been a pleasure working with
you.
It's been lovely, but it's way too much
work for me.
No one's seen me in two weeks.
I'm like, I have to work.
I have to work.
And I'm still not good at it, but
I'm starting to get the hang of it.
So next time John needs a fill-in,
I guess I could do it.
I really appreciate it.
It is above and beyond, and it's just
been so great to get to know you
a little bit better after all these years.
And the next time we talk, it will
be some crap about me getting you information
for taxes.
So we've got to do that too.
Don't remind me.
I'm so behind.
Yes, I did.
Tina's like, we're filing late, aren't we?
Probably.
No, we've already filed late.
It's fine.
We've filed extensions for business anyway.
Thank you very much, No Agenda Nation, for
being with us.
Coming up next on the No Agenda Stream,
we have DH Unplugged.
This will be with Horowitz and the young
John Dvorak, which I hear he's done a
really good job.
The whole family's been pitching him.
End of show mixes, we've got, what do
we have?
We have Professor Jay Jones.
We've got the Clip Custodian and more.
And we'll be back on Sunday with the
return of John Dvorak.
Until then, adios mofos, hui hui, and such.
I'm concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu.
The fact that he knew where Hamas was
getting its money in 2018.
He refused to cut it off.
I'm concerned that he continued to prop Hamas
up.
I'm concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu had Hamas's terrorist
plans a year before the terrorist attacks and
they did nothing.
After the attacks, did nothing for 6, 7,
8, 10 hours.
They were ill-prepared.
I've never seen anything like it.
Are we really going to tie Israel's future
up to this man?
And say, if those of us who love
Israel, those of us who were taught in
Sunday school when we were 5 years old,
that Jews are God's chosen people, because 6
million were slaughtered in the Holocaust, are we
not allowed to question Benjamin Netanyahu's motives?
Because if not, that's pretty sick.
And it's not in Israel's best interest.
Because all countries need allies.
Here is a group of people who we
can use as the theoreticians and the executors
of the U.S. policy that we want.
And Israel is an ally, it's a fighting
ally that pulls its weight.
America's landed aircraft carrier.
We're the junior partner.
We have fought now a 7-front war,
we have an 8th front.
The infosphere is the 8th front.
And seizing the high ground in the fight
for global public opinion is a battle.
He told these people, I think they're going
to kill me.
Who is they?
Charlie writes in this group chat, just lost
another huge Jewish donor.
Jewish donors play into all of the stereotypes.
I cannot and will not be bullied like
this.
Reporters in Gaza are Palestinians.
And those people fall into three categories.
Some of them identify with Hamas.
Some of them are intimidated.
And the third category is people who actually
belong to Hamas.
The AP, like all of its sister organizations,
collaborates with Hamas censorship in Gaza.
What does that mean?
The center of the coverage will be a
number, a casualty number that is provided to
the press by something called the Gaza Health
Ministry, which is Hamas.
And it's a way of basically settling the
story before you get into any other information.
General Michael Flynn calls out Netanyahu and the
Israeli military leadership for clearly standing down.
But the point is, and so these governments
all need a boogeyman.
I'm your boogeyman.
Somebody had had a bunch of the troops
stand down.
I mean, this is 9-11 all over
again.
I'm your boogeyman.
Breakthrough, overrun, go in.
Israel supports Hamas.
There's a lot of back-channel wink-wink
going on here.
Suitcases full of cash.
It is true.
I'm your boogeyman.
And so these governments all need a boogeyman.
No, I don't support Hamas.
You are 100% right.
We don't support Hamas.
I'm your boogeyman.
I looked it up.
Israeli intelligence created Hamas.
General Michael Flynn calls out Netanyahu.
Let's begin.
There's no way.
I'm your boogeyman.
Israel supports Hamas.
It is true.
I looked it up.
No, I don't support Hamas.
I'm your boogeyman.
I mean, this is 9-11 all over
again.
But the point is, I'm your boogeyman.
Suitcases full of cash.
There's a lot of back-channel wink-wink
going on here.
I looked it up.
And so these governments all need a boogeyman.
Breakthrough, overrun, go in.
The best podcast in the universe.
MoFo.
Dvorak.org slash N-A.
Gotta get going.
I miss you already.
Stop.
