I'll tell you, fascinating.
Adam Curry, John C.
DeVora.
It's Sunday, March 22nd, 2026.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media
Assassination episode 1853.
This is no agenda.
Our boy is back and I'm broadcasting live
from the hard to Texas hill country here
in FEMA region number 6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from refinery row in the north of
the bay, where gas is free, I'm John
C.
DeVora.
It's clackball in Bosdale in the morning.
Welcome back.
JC, you ain't checking now.
Welcome back to that same old place that
you grouse about.
M5M hasn't changed since you've been around.
And the trolls have remained, yeah, they're still
around.
Who'd have thought they'd need you?
Pack you when they need you.
Please them a lot, cause we got them
on the spot.
John C.
Devorak.
Yeah, thank you very much.
I will mention that these clips, if they're
a little bit over-modulated, for some reason,
you know, we've gone over this a million
times here, they break up.
What breaks up?
That song you just played.
Oh, for you, you mean?
Yeah.
On your end?
Yeah.
You were also a little slow on coming
in there.
Are you sensing a delay?
No, I was not.
I thought I was on time.
No, you were pretty late.
Let me see for a second.
Pretty late?
Unfortunately, you were pretty late.
Let me see.
No, we got the minimal delay.
You sound good.
Hey, John, welcome back.
Who cares?
We can hear you.
We have missed you.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Glad to be back, to be honest about
it.
You want to talk about your experience?
Yeah, I had a heart attack, I guess.
I was in the hospital being checked out,
curiously.
Yes.
And they said, hey, you know what?
We think it's time for you to sign
these forms.
That's never good when someone says, hey, could
you sign these forms for a second?
And then we'll be back.
We'll hear from you in another day.
Yeah.
So it was quite the experience.
I wouldn't recommend it, but...
I mean, I was...
The worst part is this is like a
double bypass, is what it was.
Yeah.
So the worst part was, is now.
Wow.
Is that you're just miserable.
I mean, you're not...
There's no pain.
It's just that you can't rest right.
You're limited in your motions, because if you
threw a baseball, it would rip you apart.
So you can't do this.
You can't do that.
You can't do this.
You can't get up that way.
You can't do this.
You can't move left.
You can't move right.
Because...
Oh, no, don't do that.
And so you're stuck kind of in this
kind of limited range of abilities.
I can talk.
Yeah.
But do you get winded after a while?
From talking?
Yeah.
No.
Oh, damn.
Long show again, people.
No, no, we're cutting the show.
Today I would recommend the following.
Here we go.
Jumble the donation segments.
Go right to the tip of the day
and wrap.
So you mean do all the donation segments,
everything in one huge segment, and then to
tip of the day?
Yeah.
What about the ISO selection?
Oh, we can do that.
I only have one.
So do you mind me just asking a
few things about your experience?
I would expect you to ask me a
few things about my experience.
First of all, I want you to know
your wife was flipping out.
She may have seemed very calm, but she
was freaking out.
It was very difficult for her.
Yeah, that was largely because of the doctors.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and I think that after the surgery,
they had Jay and Brennan in like a
special room, which was very freaky.
It's like, oh, it's a special room.
Is this where they tell you?
Well, the operation was a success.
But he has no head.
But his head is gone.
Well, the thing I was curious about, because
you had all kinds of other complications that
were going on, and they had to intubate
you.
Were you awake when they intubated you?
Supposedly, no.
But you remember it.
Yes.
What was that like?
Is that crazy?
It's really nuts.
It's not a good experience.
You're so drugged up.
You don't care as much as you would
normally.
But you're paralyzed, and you are...
The real problem is you're kind of covered
with a parachute.
I mean, that's what you can see if
you can see anything.
But the real problem with it, and I
don't think anyone's ever discussed this, is that
the yackety-yack that goes on in the
operating room, their talk, you can hear it
all.
Oh, so you're sedated.
You're asleep, but you're not.
It's like you died, and you're not dead
yet.
Exactly.
Do you feel pain at that point?
You feel nothing.
No, you don't feel anything.
Are they making jokes?
No, they're not making jokes about me, but
they're talking about their plans for the night.
Did you watch that movie the other day?
Did you see the Oscars?
And it's relentless.
Did you pick up any good tips?
No, I did not.
But was that the whole time?
Because you were out for a couple days,
I think.
Well, I mean, you're not under the whole
time intubated, but during the operation, which I
don't know how long that took, I'll have
to find out.
You don't remember that, though, do you?
No, you don't remember anything like that.
All you remember is listening to these voices.
During the surgery?
Yeah, no, during the surgery.
Oh, no!
Wow.
That's kind of crazy.
Yeah, I know.
No one's ever mentioned this.
I'm going to have to talk to some
other people about it.
Were there any hot nurses?
There was a lot of nurses.
I, by the way, now have great insight
into why Medicaid is going to go broke.
Do expand.
Well, for one thing, with some of these
big companies like this at Sutter Health, medicine
has changed from being actually, you know, where
you have doctors to protocols.
And suppliers, people who do stuff.
Yeah, protocols, protocols, and more protocols, and everything
is done by protocols, done by a checklist.
It's all the same old expert system that
we remember from the 1980s when AI first,
or not first, but second or third time
it showed up.
And then these expert systems showed up, and
this has moved over, and this took over
medicine.
And so there's no, so everything's plug and
play.
You don't need a, Jewish doctors are done.
I think I ran into one the whole
time I was here.
For more reasons than one, I'm told.
Well, one reason is that they'll ask questions.
Oh, no, we can't have that.
No, no, no.
You know, there's a protocol after A, B,
you check A, you check B, you check
C, you check D, you check E, and
then you do this.
So no one is looking at the whole,
at the patient as a whole, the entire
life of the patient.
Exactly.
You'll find some old timers, but that's the
end of it.
Oh, that's too bad.
That's, that kind of, that feels wrong.
Yeah, this is why I think they, I
think we had another show a few months
ago where the whiteys are not supposed to
even get into medicine anymore.
Whiteys?
Were there whiteys in your procedures?
Did you have whiteys operating on you?
I'd say 10% maybe.
Wow.
Now, did anyone know who you were?
Did anyone say like...
Eventually, yeah.
Did anyone say like, oh, that's that dude
from No Agenda.
Oh, man.
No, somebody looked me up, googled me.
One of them were curious nurses.
And said what?
She said, I googled you.
Are you famous?
And I said, no.
I said, is this you in the Google?
I said, yeah, that's me.
In the Google?
Yeah.
These are the people taking care of you.
Is that you in the Google?
Yeah, okay.
That's real.
That's calming.
And then another doctor, some casual doctor, some,
I think it was a nephrologist, came by
under some circumstance.
And he just left.
I mean, all these doctors come and they
go.
They don't do anything.
Did anyone give an in the morning?
Like, hey, in the morning?
No, but this one guy did say I'll
be listening to the podcast.
But I did not get an in the
morning.
Do you want to thank any of your
doctors or nurses?
Anyone?
I don't even know who half of them
are.
Oh, wow.
It's a system.
Were they all named Sanjit?
There's a lot.
No.
Actually, most of them were Filipino.
Oh, interesting.
And I'd like to thank Anna Banana, someone
I can remember.
Joke name.
But I would say I went through let's
see, 412 probably about 200 people.
Really now?
200 people came by everybody collecting 150 bucks
for each visit.
They all come by.
They all get your vitals.
Stick a thermometer in your mouth and pump
up.
Is this a medical hospital?
Do they have any students come by and
like, oh, yeah.
No, it's not.
And then finally, what everyone really wants to
know is how was the food?
It was terrible.
I couldn't eat anything.
What did you wind up eating?
You got to eat something.
Oh, you know, you find some grapes.
So you end up starving to death in
there.
And I have stories about the food, which
I'll elaborate on at some later date.
And then sponge baths, were those embarrassing?
At some point, the embarrassment is long gone.
Dude, I cannot tell you how happy I
am to have you back.
Well, I'm happy about it.
Yes, I'm sure you are.
It was one of those things where we're
always joking about exit strategy and then...
Did you hear, by the way, how that
went?
I heard it from Horowitz.
Yeah, I know.
Which was kind of disturbing.
Well, because Horowitz's show was coming up.
So I sent him a text.
Actually, I left a message.
Somewhere.
And he never got it.
No one knows where this message is.
So he was like, where are you?
He called me at 10 after 8 on
Tuesday.
I'm like, ugh.
And I was doing something.
I'm like, oh, that's Horowitz.
His stream is not working.
I'll call him back in five minutes.
I call him back.
He's like, yeah, what's up with John?
What do you mean, what's up?
And being in the hospital.
I said, what?
And although...
First of all, I got to tell you,
your family is phenomenal.
Really are.
I mean, they immediately, they're jumping in.
John is priority one.
Although I had to remind them of that
from time to time.
It's like, no, John is priority one.
Don't worry about anything.
We'll take care of anything and we'll figure
it out.
And Mimi right away was like, okay, we're
very creative people.
We can come up with solutions.
We can't just have best of shows.
I'm like, does she have an executive producer
credit somewhere?
Okay.
And then she says, well, I'm just going
to do the show.
I said, okay.
I talked to Tina about it.
Tina right away was like, that's a great
idea.
Because she's heard Mimi and me talk on
the phone for hours about nonsense.
She says, that's a great idea.
But the funniest was Jay, who first of
all is trying to break into all your
computers because you're not so good at the
password book, apparently.
And then all systems, even if you have
the password these days, oh, that's fine.
You have the password, but I don't recognize
this computer.
So you have to do two-factor authentication.
But no one had the password to your
actual computer.
And so they're like, do you know the
password?
I'm like, do I know the password?
Huh?
Why would you know the password?
That's how desperate they were.
I said, try his pin pass?
His pin code?
Try his birth date?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
And then so Jay finally gets a hold
of MailChimp.
She's like, okay, I've got this.
I'm going to do the newsletter.
And she says, what do you think of
this?
And now, mind you, you hadn't even had
your procedure yet.
But you're under and hearing everything.
But you're under.
You're sedated.
You got a tube down your neck.
And your daughter's like, how about this?
Give John a reason to live donation.
I'm like, wow.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
And JC jumped in with Horowitz, which you
should probably be a little worried about.
People thought he was really good.
Yeah, I thought he was pretty good.
I was actually surprised.
I wasn't.
Well, the reason I was surprised because he
has this buddy that years ago, these two
guys have been trying.
They're like pals that can do.
They've been trying to do a podcast.
And then when they try to do a
podcast, it's like they can't get in.
You can't say a word.
And so, you know, I'm sure there's plenty
of people out there like that with that
experience.
And so I said, well, let's see how
that goes.
He took it home.
It's a great job.
He had good one liners.
Yeah.
Good comebacks.
Definitely.
Yeah.
Did you did you follow any news?
Anything going on while during your stay, which
will be three weeks this Tuesday?
What else do I have to do?
No.
Well, this was the funniest after your you
were sent pretty quickly to the rehab center.
And Mimi said nothing was J.
I can't remember who told me.
It's like, yeah, John is back.
He's making little jokes.
He's very annoyed.
And he's watching Chinese television because he wants
to learn the language as a good one.
And did you did you come up with
that?
Yes.
Well, while you were while you were away,
you missed the biggest news, the biggest news
in America.
In light of the newly released video, we
have made the decision to not move forward
with the new season of The Bachelorette.
That's what a Disney Entertainment spokesperson told ET
today, less than three hours after TMZ posted
footage from Taylor's 2023 domestic violence incident three
days before the show was set to premiere.
A rep for Taylor tells ET she's grateful
for ABC support as she prioritizes her family's
safety and security.
She is currently preparing to own and share
her story.
There it is.
That's what everyone's talking about.
The Bachelorette.
Well, I guess that when it came out,
borderline personality disorder looks like to me.
A bad case of it.
Maybe mixed with some other issues.
Yeah.
And that was horrible.
But what I thought immediately was, this is
great.
Because now, because she, I guess she was
on the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
So, probably the series is probably a dog.
It's probably no good.
Because this, all of a sudden, this comes
out.
But it was in the can.
That's the problem.
Well, exactly.
It was in the can, precisely.
Like, wow, this is not great.
It's the 22nd or 23rd season.
We got this stupid war taking away ratings.
Maybe we can create some...
Hey, dude, that videotape you talked about, can
you give me that recording of her trying
to hit you with a chair?
And she's going to tell her own story?
I smell a new show coming.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
And that's how I would roll with it.
So...
Yeah, they dumped it faster than you can
imagine.
So...
Well, let's talk about the war.
Oh, yes.
There is a war going on.
Here's what gets me.
I got two clips from Trump on progress
of the BBC.
Okay.
Here we go.
Well, Donald Trump has also been speaking today.
He insisted that the U.S. is doing
extremely well.
That's how he described it in this war
with Iran.
The Navy's gone.
Their Air Force is gone.
Their anti-aircraft is all gone.
It's all gone.
Their radar is all gone.
Their leaders are all gone.
The next set of leaders are all gone.
And the next set of leaders are mostly
gone.
And now nobody wants to be a leader
over there anymore.
We're having a hard time.
We want to talk to them, and there's
nobody to talk to.
We have nobody to talk to.
And you know what?
We like it that way.
And we have many other distinguished members of
the United States military, but I want to
tell you, Hexeth is doing a great job.
And Raisin Cain is doing a great job.
As good as anybody has ever seen.
Don't forget, we had Venezuela.
That was the beginning where people started to
see the talent.
I rebuilt the military and built it, frankly,
including Space Force, but I rebuilt the military
in my first term.
I didn't think I'd be using it this
much, but I'm glad I rebuilt it because
we can't let these lunatics have nuclear weapons
because they were going to use them.
They'd use them fast.
Yeah, that was kind of a classic that
he was saying.
There's nobody left to talk to.
There's nobody there.
We blew up everything.
We're good to go, but then why is
this going on?
So, how did they manage to slam shut
the straight, you know, answer me that?
Well...
Let's play the second part of this.
That was Donald Trump.
Let's get back to the White House and
to our correspondent, Tom Bateman.
Tom, we are three weeks in.
Give me your assessment of where you think
we are.
Well, you know, I mean, you heard from
Donald Trump there repeating some of the messages
that we've heard over the last few days,
frankly, but I think what he didn't say
there is about, again, about the Strait of
Hormuz.
That was left to this social media post
that he put out in the minutes before
that, calling America's NATO allies cowards because he
says they won't take part in any US
operation to try and reopen the strait.
Now, that is going to send a shockwave
through the leaders of NATO.
They are used to some of the kinds
of equivocation, the questioning of the value of
the NATO alliance to the United States that
Mr. Trump has done in the past, but
we're now in a territory where he's continuing
to use this kind of language now, really
questioning their value, calling them a paper tiger,
for example, which, as far as NATO allies
are concerned, sends a signal to their adversaries,
mostly to, of course, to Russia, that might
suggest the US wouldn't defend NATO countries in
the event of an invasion in Eastern Europe.
They've always been really worried about this, and
that kind of language I think is going
to really concern them.
It is a signal of the frustration, the
anger that Mr. Trump is clearly feeling about
the part of this war that is going
wrong for him.
They don't have a solution yet to deal
with the way the Iranians have managed to
control the Strait of Hormuz, and this kind
of lashing out at his NATO allies, I
think, is symptomatic of that.
Yeah, I have thoughts on this, but because
NATO was brought up, it's no coincidence this
morning, thanks to clip collector Steve, my boy
was on CBS with Face the Nation to,
I guess, to kind of make everybody in
NATO feel good, and Mark Rutte was in
rare form.
We turn now to NATO Secretary General Mark
Rutte, who joins us this morning from The
Hague in the Netherlands.
Welcome back to Face the Nation.
Mark, it's good to be back on the
program.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
Hey, Margaret, it's good to be here every
time.
Yes, fantastic.
Good morning.
We did see that Iran fired two missiles
at Diego Garcia, that's that island in the
Indian Ocean which houses a U.S.-U.K.
joint base.
That was 4,000 kilometers from Iranian territory,
furthest Iran has ever gone.
You just heard Ambassador Waltz say there might
be a difference there in how Israel and
the U.S. assess that capability Iran has
in terms of what they fired.
But Israel says these were intercontinental ballistic missiles
that could hit Berlin, Paris, and Rome.
Does NATO share that Israeli assessment?
Well, Margaret, we cannot confirm that at the
moment, so we're looking into that.
But if this would be true, it is
the more evidence that what the President is
doing here, taking out the ballistic missile capability,
taking out the nuclear capability from Iran, is
crucial.
And exactly as the Ambassador just said, Ambassador
Waltz, we have seen with North Korea, if
we negotiate for too long, you might pass
the moment where you can still get this
thing done.
And North Korea now has the nuclear capability.
If Iran would have the nuclear capability, including
together with...
Was that confirmed that North Korea has nuclear...
He said North Korea now has nuclear capability.
Is that being confirmed?
Do we really know that?
What are you talking about?
Of course they do.
Well, we don't actually know.
Have they ever...
Yeah, they blowed up a whole crap load
of little bombs.
They're not monsters.
Little bombs, okay.
They blowed up some little ones.
But they're nukes.
Okay.
North Korea now has the nuclear capability.
If Iran would have the nuclear capability, including
together with the missile capability, it would be
a direct threat, an existential threat to Israel,
to the region, to Europe, to the stability
in the world.
So the President doing this is crucial.
And I've seen the polling, but I really
hope the American people will be with him
because he is doing this to make the
whole world safer.
Okay.
So thank you.
We got more.
Well, I'm sure the President appreciates your praise,
but he has been very frustrated and made
that clear this week with NATO and the
European allies.
He called NATO, quote, a paper tiger without
the U.S. He said they complain about
high oil prices when they're forced to pay,
but they don't want to help open the
Strait of Hormuz.
Easy for them.
Cowards.
We will remember.
I've been in several conversations this week with
the President, and the good news is that,
look, we had the U.S. for weeks
planning for epic fury.
And for reasons of security and safety, they
could not share with European allies and allies
around the world and partner countries what they
were doing because that would have jeopardized the
effect of the first attack.
Or it would have allowed you to plan.
So it is only logical that European countries
needed a couple of weeks to come together.
But at this moment, the good news is
this, that since Thursday, 22 countries, most of
them NATO, but also Japan, Korea, Australia, New
Zealand, Bahrain, the UAE have come together to
basically answer three questions.
What do we need?
When do we need it?
And where do we need it?
These three questions are now worked through to
answer the President's call to make sure that
we secure the free sailing through the Strait
of Hormuz.
You know, I have this thought that the
President isn't really in any rush to open
the Strait of Hormuz.
There's actually some papers out there that would
back you up.
You know, it's like, well, because it's not,
yes, it affects oil prices, but oil prices
are market prices.
I'm not sure that you know, that there
isn't enough oil to go around for the
time being.
Yeah, but this isn't helping Saudi Arabia.
No, it doesn't help them.
But I'm just, I can't help but think
like, yeah, maybe he's not in such a
hurry.
And then this happens, well, actually, this happens
this morning, I think.
We're going beyond the Strait, now we're going
to the, you know, where all the fish
are in the portal.
A new looming threat to international shipping and
the global economy with the vital Strait of
Hormuz effectively closed since the U.S. and
Israel launched strikes on Iran.
Tehran's Houthi allies in Yemen are now threatening
to block the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Bab el-Mandeb?
The Houthis who control Yemen's capital and northwestern
Red Sea coast may close the maritime corridor
that connects Europe, Asia and Africa.
A representative for the group said that if
it does close the waterway it could only
attack vessels belonging to states carrying out strikes
on Iran, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq.
The Bab el-Mandeb Strait connects the Red
Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
It's known as a strategic chokepoint linking the
Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.
It's a vital route for global trade, particularly
for oil and gas shipments between Europe and
Asia.
So when the Houthis come out, how much
of a threat are those guys?
Don't they have little ships?
If you've got a $16 million tanker full
of oil...
Right, but if you've got U.S. forces
in the region, it seems like that wouldn't
be too much of a problem to blow
them out of the water.
Not necessarily, yeah.
But...
We're getting onto the helicopter talking about when
the Strait will open up.
It's a simple military maneuver.
It's relatively safe but it needs ships.
You need volume.
And NATO could help us, but they so
far haven't had the courage to do so.
And others could help us, but we don't
use it.
At a certain point it'll open itself.
At a certain point.
But we've defeated the enemy, and they are
an enemy.
They're a sick group of people.
Their leadership is gone.
The Navy is gone.
The Air Force is gone.
The anti-aircraft equipment that they have, the
radar they have, is all gone.
Everything's gone.
The Strait itself, the actual Strait, how are
you?
The Strait itself is doing a good job.
But it would be nice if the countries,
including China, if the countries that use it,
China uses 90% of their energy.
Japan is 95% of the energy.
It would be nice if those countries would
get involved.
Alright, so now he's saying, OK, NATO doesn't
want to help.
The Strait can open itself up, is what
I heard him say there.
But it would be nice if China and
Japan helped out, you know, so he's making
a clear call.
He's delayed his meeting with Xi another four,
five, six weeks.
I think we may be in total control.
There's a game here that's going on.
I think anything but that.
OK.
Here's my thinking.
He can't win this thing, continuing what he's
trying to do.
But he keeps hinting that, oh, we've taken
everything out.
We've taken everything out and no one's helping
us.
His exit strategy, I think, and I think
it would be a good one, and I
think it would work, is to just pull
out.
Just pull out.
Hey, there's nothing else we can blow up.
We blew up all that they don't have
an Air Force or a Navy or they've
got no radar, they've got nothing and nobody
to talk to.
We don't even know who the leaders are.
That one guy's gay, apparently.
That was the best.
He's actually now an entry in the Eurovision
Song Contest this year, I hear.
Oh, that makes sense.
So you get out and you do the
following.
And say, well, if they say they're going
to reopen the Hormuz, we'll just get out,
let them reopen it and let things stabilize
a little bit.
Maybe come back again.
And at the same time say, we would
have stayed and done more damage, but we
weren't getting any help.
NATO's not helping us.
Europe's not helping us.
Nobody's helping us.
China's not helping us.
Nobody, nobody, nobody.
And so what are we supposed to do?
We can't do the whole thing and get
the hell out of there.
That would be reasonable.
As fast as possible.
That's if he has the nerve to do
that.
That takes a lot of guts.
Well, there is one thing that to me
looks like beneficial at minimum.
So the president got really, well, really mad.
He was mad on Truth Social.
I'm mad at Israel for taking out the
LNG field in Qatar.
He's also irked about the fact that one
of their guys contradicted him in a press
conference.
Who?
The defense minister of Israel.
He's going to cut Israel loose if they
keep this up.
Yes, he will.
In fact, I'm thinking the more he's pushing
back on them, at a certain point, he
may be like, you know, I'm waiting for
the opportunity to not only show that what
I was doing was in America's interest, but
that Israel doesn't control me.
And I'm going to show it like this.
And it's going to be something, you know,
it'll be a move that is obvious.
And the only thing he can do is
cut off like, no more Patriot missiles or
something like that.
And I kind of feel him ramping up
for that.
It would be good for him to do
it because, you know, the whole idea that
Bibi Netanyahu held a gun to his head
and he did this is pretty rampant as
expected.
But the oil field, the Qatar oil field
turns out is kind of beneficial to us.
A developing story where we are learning more
today about how the conflict in the Middle
East could impact Alaska's energy market.
Augusta McDonald has been following this story all
week.
And Augusta, what changes are you monitoring right
now?
Yes, Arianna.
I've been looking at how the destruction of
a liquefied natural gas plant in Qatar could
influence efforts to build an LNG pipeline across
Alaska.
The Alaska LNG project is a major energy
infrastructure initiative.
You're probably familiar with it.
They want to build a pipeline that would
transport natural gas from the North Slope to
South Central Alaska.
Now, this project is led by Glenn Farn
Group, which has a 75% stake.
And project leaders say they want to deliver
20 million metric tons annually to primarily Asian
market buyers.
And that's a key detail because the LNG
facility that was hit by an Iranian counter
-strike in Qatar just days ago supplied 20
% of the world's liquefied natural gas.
And 80% of that product went to
Asian markets.
Qatar Energy's Roslofen complex was taken offline on
Monday with Reuters now reporting it's not expected
to be operating again for weeks.
In a statement from Glenn Farn Alaska, LNG
spokesperson Tim Fitzpatrick had this to say, quote,
global events repeatedly show the strategic advantage of
Alaska LNG's location as the only U.S.
source of LNG with direct Pacific access avoiding
contested waters and choke points.
And to that point, he's referring here to
shipping delays through the critical Strait of Hormuz
due to the conflict and saying further, Glenn
Farn is working closely with Asian LNG buyers
to accelerate commercial agreements and complete Alaska LNG.
So this kind of complicates the theory that
he's going to cut Israel loose because maybe
it was a plan all along.
When you look at the Alaskan LNG, it's
on the north side.
And the only way to currently get it
down to China and Japan is through the
Bering Strait.
Well, enter a little conversation with Putin at
the beginning of the year in Alaska about
business in Alaska, because the plan has been
since this year to cut a pipeline all
the way down the south so that you
wouldn't have to go through the Bering Strait.
But that is obviously not completed yet.
This is from a year ago.
It's one of the most important nights on
Taiwan's business calendar.
An annual dinner in Taipei hosted by the
American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan, where business
leaders from around the world rub elbows with
officials from both countries.
But the star of the show wasn't a
person, but a pipeline for LNG, liquefied natural
gas.
The Trump administration is especially eager to share
our LNG resources with close partners, including through
the completion of the Alaska North Slope LNG
Project.
The pipeline, which has been pushed since President
Trump took office in January, aims to sell
Alaska's LNG to Asia.
My administration is also working on a gigantic
natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest
in the world, where Japan, South Korea, and
other nations want to be our partner.
The 44 billion U.S. dollar project would
stretch 1,300 kilometers across the northern state.
The gas it produced would then be shipped
to some of the world's largest gas importers,
Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
And the night saw Taiwan's national oil company,
CPC, announce its intent to invest in the
project and buy its LNG.
We are very interested in buying Alaska's natural
gas because it can meet our needs and
ensure our energy security.
Yes.
Okay, so pretty important, everybody there.
Yeah, we, by the way, did discuss this
when it was first announced.
I can't remember that.
To me, it was like, oh, I heard
this...
You're so pipelined out.
I think it's probably it.
I'm so pipelined, but pipelines turn out to
be really important.
They're trying to do the, you know, increase...
They can't.
They got, like, 3 million barrels a day
going from Saudi Arabia, you know, across the
desert.
That's not gonna replace anything.
You know, your 20 million or 25 million
barrels a day.
But it, I mean, it's just, it feels
like, you know, I think I'm agreeing with
your idea there, that, like, you know, you
guys wouldn't help out.
Okay, whatever.
But, man, Trump has got to do something
about Israel, and that's why he's yelling at
him.
The only guy who might be able to
give us some insight is the gay general
Patton.
Scott Besson, who was very involved in all
of this.
And he does speak financial stuff, and he
was on Meet the Press this morning.
Interested in Manhans Welker's interview with him?
Hello?
I'm sorry, what did you say?
Do you want to hear the gay general
Patton?
Oh, no, I actually watched it.
Yeah, it's, there's some good moments in there.
He kind of, like, I think it was,
his best moment was predicting what the next
guest was gonna talk about.
Well, you know, I was on the phone
with President Trump a week ago.
He told me allies were on the way
to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
Has the Trump administration abandoned that strategy and
now chosen to go it alone?
Again, what we have done, there has been
a campaign to be using military assets to
soften up the Iranian fortifications along the Strait.
That's gonna continue until they are completely demolished.
And, Kristen, let me tell you, whether it's
this network or the mainstream press, the American
people do not have good framing what is
going on here.
If you were to read what is happening,
and I'm sure when Senator Murphy is on,
he has come out and said, we are
losing the war.
That is wrong.
We have demolished the Iranian capabilities.
Their Air Force is completely destroyed, Navy destroyed,
and every day we are taking out their
missiles, their missile systems, and the factories that
build those missiles, and now the General Kaine,
Secretary Hegseth are leading a campaign to destroy
all the fortifications along the Straits of Hormuz.
Just to put a fine point on this,
though, is the President in the process of
winding down this war or escalating the conflict?
Again, they are not mutually exclusive.
Sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate,
Kristen.
You gotta hit the gas to go slower.
Okay.
So this is really where it comes down
to.
Stuff is moving, but it's moving at sounds
like our whim.
Alright, let me talk about your announcement this
past week.
On Friday the Treasury Department lifted sanctions on
Iranian oil stored on tankers, a move that
would effectively allow Iran to get more than
$14 billion of oil revenue.
Why is the U.S. helping to fund
a country that it's currently at war with?
Again, Kristen, why don't we have...
Hold on.
Who is she talking about, Russia or Iran?
Iran, actually.
Okay.
The U.S. helping...
Put it on pause for a second.
Go back to our thesis of, I don't
know, years ago where they're in cahoots.
We're in cahoots with them.
Well with somebody.
Who's left to be in cahoots with?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, this is, that's why it's gotta
get out of there and see what shakes
out.
Yeah, okay, here we go.
It would effectively allow Iran to get more
than $14 billion of oil revenue.
Wait, hold on.
Why is the U.S. helping to fund
a country that it's currently at war with,
Again, Kristen, why don't we have good facts
here?
That Iranian oil was always going to be
sold to the Chinese, it was going to
be sold at a discount.
Best price!
Which is better, Kristen?
Which is better?
If oil prices spiked to $150 and they
were getting 70% of that, or oil
prices below $100, it's better to have them
where they are now.
And to be clear, we had always planned
for this contingency.
About 140 million barrels are out on the
water.
In essence, we are jujitsuing the Iranians.
We are using their own oil against them.
We have a much better line of sight,
to be clear, at Treasury, when this oil
goes to Indonesia, if it goes to Japan,
if it goes to Korea.
We have a much better line of sight,
and are able to block accounts that the
oil goes into.
When it goes into China, it completely gets
recycled.
So to be clear, that $14 billion number...
What did he say?
He's steamrolling this poor woman.
And she has a golden opportunity to just
stop him cold and say, why don't we
just commandeer all this oil?
And they get nothing out of it.
It's like we do with Venezuela, why don't
we do that?
No, no.
She was flat-footed.
This is terrible.
She's just no good at this job.
This oil goes to, if it goes to
Indonesia, if it goes to Japan, if it
goes to Korea, we have a much better
line of sight, and are able to block
accounts that the oil goes into.
When it goes into China, it completely gets
recycled.
So the $14 billion...
How does that work?
Recycle?
I didn't understand.
Block accounts, and it gets recycled.
I don't quite understand.
It gets recycled, and she says nothing.
If it goes to Korea, we have a
much better line of sight, and are able
to block accounts that the oil goes into.
When it goes into China, it completely gets
recycled.
So to be clear, that $14 billion number
is grossly overstated.
OK, so now that's just numbers.
But Manhans Welker has the question.
She knows what her viewers want to know.
I mean, even Tina was getting gas the
other day, and she texts me, thanks, Trump!
Because, you know, it's kind of expensive, even
in Texas.
Let me talk about the real-world impact
of this, because you're talking about 140 million
barrels of Iranian oil, and that's just a
little bit more than what the world uses
in one day.
How much can that really change prices here
at home?
Again, for some terrible framing.
Terrible framing.
Well, how much can it change prices here
at home?
No, no, no.
Can you talk to consumers?
How much will it change prices here at
home?
Let me explain.
140 million barrels, about 20 million barrels a
day, comes out of the Gulf.
About 5 million has been repurposed by the
Saudis.
Wait, so that's basically seven days?
My calculation's right there?
I don't know.
He's just throwing so many numbers on now.
By the UAE.
So we're at a 15 deficit.
About 1.5 is Iranian oil that comes
out.
So we are at between a 10 and
14 million deficit on a daily basis.
So if you think about 140 million barrels,
that's between 10 days and two weeks of
supply.
And one of the reasons the prices in
the U.S. of West Texas crude are
below $100, and we have not seen this
massive spike as we did during the beginning
of Russia-Ukraine, is because we are well
supplied in the market, whether it is the
Russian oil, whether it is the Iranian oil,
or it is the largest SPR release in
history, done by a coalition of 32 countries,
400 million barrels.
But it's the markets that determine the price.
The markets are just spooked.
So that's why the price is going up,
whether there's enough in the market or not.
But, OK, one to two weeks would be
the pullout time.
And well, he's setting it up.
Yeah.
But does he have the guts to do
it?
This is a gutsy move.
In what way?
To pull out.
It looks like he surrendered.
And oh, there's the Americans, they go in,
they can't, they never stick it out.
He can only, he can only, you know,
here's here's how it would work.
Israel does something stupid.
And Trump goes, because here's your twofer.
And Trump goes, all right, you idiots, go
do whatever.
I'm out.
Now, that's too, too, too obvious that, you
know, that's too scripted, it looks like.
He's got to just do it out of
scratch.
And I think he's setting it up.
He's saying we've done everything we can do.
And now there's just these rogue, the way
they describe it.
The only reason their missiles are flying around
is because of these rogue generals and these
rogue guys, you know, Iranian guys.
And but there's no leaders, nobody to talk
to, he says.
So what's the point of us being there?
We've got no leaders, nobody to talk to.
They've taken everything out that's important.
They set back the nuke program once again.
Get out.
One more, one more math with Scott clip.
All right, let's talk about the Russian oil,
which you just raised.
The administration did use oil sanctions on Russia
earlier this month.
You had initially defended imposing those sanctions, calling
Russian exports, quote, oil that funds the Russian
war machine.
If the point of the sanctions was to
stop funding the Russian war machine, why is
the administration effectively rewarding Russia?
Again, Kristen, you're missing the point.
Which is which is better?
Does Russia get more money if oil goes
to 150 and they get 70 percent of
that?
That's one of five.
Or if oil stays below 100.
So they're getting less money.
Our analysis shows our analysis shows that the
maximum extra amount the Russia could get would
be two billion dollars, which is one which
is one days of the Russian Federation's budget.
But understood.
But they wouldn't have gotten any of that.
I don't know.
But would they have gotten any of that
in place?
Whoever does your research, you should get rid
of because they would.
They were getting it.
It was going into China.
China was buying over 90 percent of the
Russian oil.
And it was.
What's the point of sanctions if not to
punish Russia, if not to punish countries again?
We have no ability to do that to
China if China if China wants to be
a bad actor.
But we were substantially able to degrade their
exports.
Their exports have dropped about 25 percent when
the rest of the world isn't buying it.
So exports are down.
But there was a lifeline into China.
Now we've opened up that to everyone else.
OK, just to be clear, though, you did
defend imposing those sanctions in the first place.
Let me just to be clear, it is
a maximum of two billion dollars.
So let's have good framing on this.
OK, framing, framing, framing, framing is framing.
We want a good framing.
So we got our our source on the
ground, boots on the ground, who's talking to
that poor guy.
Yeah.
And I have a feeling he's in Bahrain.
I'm not sure, but he's in that region.
And he said he's in the region.
Yeah.
He's not happy.
No, I'll share his note.
Three weeks, under expected barrage of unexpected barrage
of missiles and drones.
It's quite bizarre to imagine our quiet and
beautiful place with sounds of sirens every hour
and the gut wrenching feeling that the worst
is about to happen.
The country is a small island, hence my
guess, and only one causeway connected to the
rest of the world, let alone severe freshwater
vulnerability and huge dependency on desalination as a
lot of those places.
While everyone is talking about a marginal cost
at the pump, we are unaware of what
unknowns are awaiting us, as most of our
countries depend on imports for medicine, food and
every little necessity.
The Israelis, for some weird reason, are playing
a bad cop game, which is quite dangerous,
blowing up gas, oil fields, desalination plants, power
plants, ports and airports and claiming it was
the US or even the GCC countries, leaving
GCC countries to receive the aggressive retaliations every
day.
See, we're not getting all of that reporting.
No, the GCC countries are trying their best
not to engage in a direct confrontation, knowing
that the US and Israel can stop anytime
they want, there it is, pack up and
leave, which leaves us in a war with
a group of people of absolutely nothing to
lose, an isolated country that survived 40 years,
47 years of isolation.
I think Trump thought this would be a
paper tiger, but it seems to be a
bit tougher than a walk in the park
like Venezuela, more of a cardboard tiger.
And he gives us his insights here to
finish it up.
The Islamic Republic was modeled over a Frankenstein
of ideologies, a mix of Zoroastrianism, 12-verse
Shia Islam, revolutionary communism and Islamic Brotherhood organization,
covered in a novel and creative mix of
eschatology invented to give a level of extreme
holiness to the Grand Ayatollah and mixed with
fairytale end-of-time prophecies.
Sounds about right.
I'm not sure what the endgame is, but
the overall war is comical in nature, with
stupid turn-based RPG-like shot and retaliation
events, huge theatrics from all parties, and tons
of misinformation and disinformation.
Amen.
For us, this is existential and it's really
concerning to have the lives and well-being
of my wife and kids hanging in the
balance for such foolish adventures.
Adam, pray for us.
Maybe a mix of prayer to Jesus and
Allah can somehow work.
And he actually prayed for you.
So John, remember that for some unknown reason,
my prayer to Allah saved you.
There you go.
So looking at this possible pullout, this 48
-hour warning may be the signal.
And I didn't know Richard Engel was now
working for Sky News.
Did you know that?
I think he does.
I think he works as a stringer for
them.
I think he's still with NBC or the
network.
I think it's NBC.
Some kind of shared agreement.
Well, here he is with his report.
So this war is still going right now,
just getting an alert.
And now President Trump is talking about escalating
it even further.
What he specifically said is that if Iran
doesn't fully open the Straits of Hormuz, not
partially open it, not just to its allies,
not just to its regular customers like China,
then the United States will respond, according to
President Trump, starting from 11.45 p.m.
GMT tomorrow by obliterating power plants in Iran,
starting with the biggest one.
The Iranians immediately responded, saying, if our infrastructure
is attacked, we will attack infrastructure, and reiterated
a threat.
This was from a colonel in the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard, and specifically talked about desalinization and
targeting desalination facilities in the Gulf.
Now, the Gulf states are very dependent on
desalination.
Just look at Qatar.
Qatar gets 99 percent of its drinking water
by extracting it from the sea and taking
the salt out of it.
Bahrain, more than 90 percent of its drinking
water comes from desalination plants.
So they're now talking about hitting each other
where it hurts, in the same way that
Vladimir Putin targeted the power grid in Ukraine
because Ukraine is cold and freezing, and he
would do these attacks in the winter to
make the people suffer.
President Trump is now threatening to squeeze the
people of Iran and the government by cutting
off the power, as Dominic was just saying,
and the Iranians saying, well, we can make
the deserts dry and cut off the drinking
water.
Well, there it is, 48 hours.
Clock is ticking.
Well, he's not going to do that.
I don't think so.
Well, he won't.
He won't.
I don't think anybody will.
And, you know, this is going to be
interesting, but he has to do something that's
going to have to be drastic and it's
going to have to be soon.
This drags on too long.
He's got to, you know, if you look
at the timing of the whole thing, he's
got to be out of this thing so
he could take a victory lap, you know,
Mission Accomplished style BS, you know, victory lap
so he can change the focus of the
country to that, because we're still dealing with
the primaries coming up and the focus of
the country by July 4th has to be
on the 250th anniversary of the country.
Yes.
No, we have to have victory by then.
That's got to be.
Yeah.
We've got to have victory.
Yeah.
Got to have it by then.
And you've got to wind this down.
But you, I think getting out saying that
no one's going to help us and.
OK, well, then what we should have done.
Then what was the point?
It was a mistake.
So this is just the exit.
This is just a cover up.
What was so positioning everything in the region?
It was a mistake.
So why?
I don't understand.
What was the intended goal?
Well, the intended goal was to to end
for once and for all all the nuke
nuclear capabilities.
So they won't have a bomb.
I mean, Trump said that in the clip
we played earlier and they've done that.
So that's been accomplished.
What more do we need to be doing
there?
Well, I thought this was more about China
and making them pay retail instead of wholesale
and getting all the bad elements out.
Well, you know, you can't win them all.
This is the one thing that we don't
seem to realize.
You can't win them all.
Right.
But this gives a lot of credence to
the people who are running around saying that
Bibi Netanyahu told Trump to do this.
Well, they could do that all day.
That's not going to end no matter.
It's well, it's not about Trump.
It's about the Republican Party.
It's about splitting, splitting the base and getting
people to definitely not vote for Republicans who
are all in on Israel and all in
on Trump.
And I think it's having success.
Yeah, it is.
That's why Trump's got to take action here
and reverse course.
And he'll take a beating for it for
a while, but it's by the time July
4th rolls around and you get to celebrate
the country.
No, no, he's no, he has to do
something about Israel.
That's irreparable.
Well, he has to, but it's got to
have to be something they they'll do the
way they're going.
It's it's that's got to be the easy
part.
I don't think so.
I really don't.
I mean, I've been following this for months
now and it's no, I don't.
Half of our audience has left because we
don't agree that Israel controls America and Trump.
Yeah, I know.
Well, they're they're very foolish.
So Tucker is the he's at he's he's
the nucleus of this.
It's abundantly clear.
He is the guy that had that has
everybody on who is against Israel.
He is agreeing.
You know, he's got your your favorite guy
there.
What's his name?
Nick Fuentes, who is who is now he's
now proclaiming we are only back on Tucker's
show after.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But but Fuentes is, you know, he's trending
again and he's like, we're under occupation.
The United States is occupied by a foreign
nation.
Yeah.
And you've got Candace and you've got, you
know, Megyn Kelly and Megyn Kelly's fighting with
the great one with Mark Levin, the great
one.
And Mark Levin and the whole thing is
one big mess.
And you know, and you and I, we've
talked about Tucker being a member of the
Pilgrim Society.
We've joked about it being a member of
the Pilgrim Society.
It's not a joke.
He is.
Well, there's no evidence of that.
But I mean, it it seems that way.
You want to just explain the Pilgrim Society
so people know what that is.
It's been around for a hundred years.
It's one of those secret societies of old
timers that, you know, I don't know what
they do.
It's just one of these things is the
Pilgrim Society.
Yeah.
But they're pro-UK, pro-Britain.
Yeah.
They're they're they're basically monarchists.
Yes.
And and I'm always looking to see, can
I how can I I mean, besides the
fact that Tucker always instead of he always
says, rather, I'd rather do this rather rather
than that.
I'm always looking at where's his Anglo Anglophile
roots.
You actually want to look at his parents
to get a little more insight to that,
in particular, his mom's family before his dad
divorced her.
You know, they were big commodity people in
Britain.
But I got this interview where here's Tucker,
just a podcaster, talks about what he does
in the wintertime.
You know, some of us go to to
Martha's Vineyard, some of us do do certain
things.
He is definitely more elitist than he lets
on.
What does your gut tell you right now
about the Gulf Arab countries?
Because as you know, there is some dispute
between Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, the UAE.
What does your gut tell you about this?
I've been having this conversation in the wintertime,
usually travel around or always travel around and
see friends, have dinner and stuff.
And John, in the wintertime, do you travel
around and see friends and have dinner and
stuff?
Or do you do you do other things?
My buddy said we all do a whole
group of us.
We we jump in a rock and roll
bus.
I mean, what do I really think?
I mean, there is, of course, a dispute
going on.
Let me ask you this.
If someone asks you to identify yourself and
I'm not talking about your gender or sexuality,
what would you say you are?
What country are you from?
Who are you?
I'm an American.
You're an American.
OK, thank you.
I'm an American.
That's what I would say.
What are you?
I'm an American.
Some kind.
I do not get involved in intra-Arab
disputes.
I don't speak Arabic.
I don't understand it.
I like everybody.
I've been in all three of those countries
in the last 10 days.
I like them all.
I would never get involved.
But big picture as an outsider, as an
Anglo, as an American English speaker.
I'm sorry, as an Anglo?
I've never said that in my life.
Of course not.
Who says that?
Pilgrims.
I'm an Anglo.
Pilgrims say that.
I mean, a few of the Chicanos around
here might call me that.
I'm an Anglo.
And he quickly corrects, I'm an American.
I like them all.
I would never get involved.
But big picture as an outsider, as an
Anglo, as an American English speaker.
English speaker.
I see things in terms of power balance.
So, when he pops up, you know, we
got Joe Kent and Joe Kent resigns and
he immediately goes on Tucker's show.
He's on every single show, I might add.
Have you followed what this Joe Kent guy
is doing?
Yeah, it's like he was, like somebody gave
him the call and activated the cell.
Yes, listen to him on Scott Horton's show,
Mr. Anti-War.
Now, do you think that plan A was
to parachute the monarch Reza Pahlavi, the grandson,
in there?
Or it was really the Israeli goal was
just convince Trump to get it started and
the plan is destroy Persia?
The Israelis were big fans of throwing everything
at the wall to see what would stick.
So I think at some point in time,
they probably briefed like the monarch's son or
the MEK or the Kurds or et cetera,
et cetera.
But really, at the end of the day,
the Israeli goal was to get in there
and hammer the regime, kill the Supreme Leader.
And killing the Supreme Leader, I think, was
twofold.
I mean, basically, it killed the guy that
was restraining the nuclear program.
And so now there's a more compelling case
to make that, hey, look, if they have
anything that even resembles any kind of enrichment
or any nuclear component, they're going to make
a bomb.
Because actually, probably now they will, because we
killed the one restrainer.
Actually, we killed several of the restrainers.
I say we, I mean, between us and
the Israelis, we will all be blamed for
it.
But really, the entire Israeli goal was just
to launch this, to topple the regime at
any cost because they know the time is
short.
They know that they're losing a lot of
support on both sides of the aisle in
America.
And so for them, timing was of the
essence.
And they basically work out the details later,
get us deeply entrenched in this thing as
fast as they can.
And after that, they basically met their main
strategic objective.
Everything else is just a matter of getting
us to stay committed to the fight.
So yes.
He's been activated.
He's on every single podcast, including Megyn Kelly,
where he's alluding to Charlie Kirk being murdered
by Israel.
Didn't bring that today.
But here he is on Sagar.
I agree.
Well, considering that, you know, our colleagues over
at Dropside News, they commissioned a poll.
A lot of Americans believe that the war
in Iran was to distract from the Epstein
files.
Do you think there's any credence to that
idea?
That's an interesting theory.
I would disagree, just in the sense that
the drumbeat for the war with Iran has
been going on, I think, longer than most
people knew what Epstein, who Epstein was.
But I think it was probably a welcome
distraction, considering how much it was in the
news.
Because again, if you want people to rally
around the flag, start a new war, that's
kind of like politics 101, tragically.
So I think that factor.
But I don't think it was specifically for
Epstein.
Had the Epstein files never existed, there'd still
be, unfortunately, a neoconservative Israeli lobby for a
war with Iran.
So it's all it's all Israel.
Trump.
This is the thing that is interesting.
These people really think Trump is an idiot.
He may not always be the best.
He may always be right, but I don't
think you can accuse him of being an
idiot.
And they literally are saying he's an idiot.
Bibi Netanyahu told him to do this.
Everything he stood for his entire life, he's
going to put on the line just for
Israel because, I don't know, because why?
Because he's well, the the shortcut is always
there's something in the Epstein files.
There's something going on.
He listened to this sticking, I think, a
little bit with the Epstein question.
That's another one.
And look, I'm not saying I believe this,
but I have seen a lot of people
who do.
They think, you know, you talk there about
Trump potentially being influenced by a threat to
his safety.
Another theory is about Epstein.
His conduct around Epstein has been bizarre, if
we're being honest.
I can say that.
You don't have to say it.
Do you think there's any credence to that?
I think if Trump was in the Epstein
files, they would have used it to take
him out long before he even got the
nomination back in 2016.
I just think even if you don't like
Trump, I think that's just kind of obvious.
But again, we go back to this is
a this appears to be a very powerful
network.
And so for people who've been anywhere near
it, are they intimidated by it?
That's a potential.
Yeah.
And sticking with that, you know, given your
assessment, you know, you've worked at the highest
levels of the United States intelligence community.
You said you do think Epstein is an
intelligence asset, not specifically for any one country.
So given your experience within that, I would
just want to be very, very clear.
It would not be out of the question
to have powerful networks like this, which are
linked to United States intelligence, Israeli intelligence, Russian
intelligence.
Yes or no?
Of course.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, I think most Western governments would
use several layers of cutouts and all the
people who could be called to testify probably
actually wouldn't know anything.
And there'd be very limited files about it.
It's just my professional opinion.
So intelligence is so strong, particularly U.S.
and Israeli intelligence, that Trump is afraid for
his life and he's just doing whatever he's
told.
That is the consistent message, but it leans
more towards Israel.
It just doesn't seem that way.
No.
Now, so Tucker, being the Anglo that he
is, the big interview that he does is
with the economist, with the lady from The
Economist.
Well, yeah, that woman.
You can't be more British crown, City of
London, North Sea Nexus than going on.
And she rarely does interview.
Do you ever see her doing interviews with
anybody?
Yeah, she she does the important ones.
The important ones.
OK.
Yeah.
So I pulled a few clips from it.
A dose, I think is her name.
Yeah, whatever her name is.
I pulled I pulled a few clips from
it, but before, just to give you a
contrast and people can change, they can change
their opinion.
I've changed my opinion throughout the course of
the show many times.
This is Tucker from 1996 when he was
still at the what was it, the Weekly
Standard, I think.
And he was still wearing bow ties.
This is him talking.
Ninety six.
He may have been an MSNBC.
No, could have been.
But this was on C-SPAN and he
was answering a viewer question about Pat Buchanan
being anti-Semitic.
Well, I mean, you know, it's perfectly valid
to question America's relationship with Israel.
Israel has a lobby.
It's perfectly fair, as far as I'm concerned,
to beat up on Israel's lobby.
But that's I don't think that's the reason
that Buchanan is being labeled an anti-Semite.
It's this kind of, as I've said, this
this relentless, this relentless bringing up topics related
to Judaism.
I mean, famously, Pat, you know, always beats
up on Goldman Sachs, but never Morgan Stanley.
I mean, it's really hard to there is
no point at which Pat Buchanan has held
a press conference and said, you know, I
really don't like the Jews.
I think they're a sinister force in America.
But I think and it took me years
to come to this to this position.
I mean, I'm not throwing the term anti
-Semite around.
But you reach a point when you say,
well, gee, you know, here's a guy who
has gone out of his way to to
defend to me on York and other accused
Nazi war criminals who's constantly attacked Israel, who's
attacked American Jews for supporting Israel unduly, who's
implied that American Jews push America into wars
in which non-Jews die.
There really is.
And again, I'm not hysterical on the subject,
but I do believe I do believe I
do believe with Pat Buchanan of needling the
Jews.
Is that anti-Semitic?
Yeah.
I mean, after a while, you conclude it
is in some sense anti-Semitic.
I mean, Pat Buchanan obviously has a lot
of personal and affectionate relationships with people who
are Jewish.
So on a personal level, perhaps he's not.
But on a on a different maybe thematic
level, I think he probably is.
Anyway, so I just thought it was fun
to listen to Tucker in a different setting,
different network, different frame of different framing, perhaps
framing.
Yes.
So he goes on with The Economist.
And this is an important interview.
It's the big interview because she does all
the big ones.
And here we go.
In your copious podcasting about this in the
last two.
Hey, we are the copious podcasters.
OK, lady.
Weeks.
You have made the argument very strongly that
the United States has been pushed into something
not in its own national interest by pressure
from Israel and the lobbying power of Israel.
What has been the question is whether the
person who makes the ultimate decision would who
be President Trump should have pushed back.
That's it.
Of course, of course, Trump should have pushed
back as previous presidents have done to some
extent, some very limited extent.
George W.
Bush didn't push back.
We went up in the Iraq war and
now everyone pretends, oh, that was nothing to
do with Israel.
What are you doing?
I, you know, I'm I'm trying to do
something in the back.
I'm trying to find something.
Why don't you say that?
Fortunately, let's just listen to my clips.
I'll listen to the clip.
But I have to.
Don't yell at me for being muted.
Well, do you want me to wait for
a second?
No, no, no.
This really it's got nothing to do.
Just play the clip.
I can hear it to some extent, some
very limited extent.
George W.
Bush didn't push back.
We went up in the Iraq war and
now everyone pretends, oh, that was had nothing
to do with Israel.
I was there.
I was talking to Bush.
This this right there.
He keeps saying this.
I disagree with that.
The Iraq war wasn't from what I can
recall is Israel was saying, no, no, don't
do it.
Do you recall that?
I don't remember them saying don't do it,
but it had nothing to do with Israel.
Well, Israel didn't have a beef with Iraq.
Well, Tucker is saying that he was there.
He was there.
He's always there.
He was there.
I found this annoying to some extent, some
very limited extent.
George W.
Bush didn't push back.
We went up in the Iraq war and
now everyone pretends, oh, that was had nothing
to do with Israel.
I was there.
I was talking to Bush.
That's not true.
That's a lie.
And that's why it's so important.
From my perspective, it's a lie.
It's annoying to say out loud what is
true before history is rewritten and he's starting
to remind me of Bannon kind of on
the outs, but trying to make it like,
oh, yeah, no, I'm there, I'm at the
meetings, even though he is actually a little
closer in than Bannon.
Yeah, but it's like the Iraq war was
a lie, but to say that Israel that
it was at Israel's behest and that he
was there and George W.
with George W.
Bush and and that's what it was about
and then say if anything else is a
lie, that's that's that doesn't seem right to
me.
It just seems like, no, that's not the
truth.
To say out loud what is true before
history is rewritten and disappears and it's lying
and it gets us here because we say,
oh, no, no, no.
Lobbying efforts had no effect.
Really?
We said that our pharmaceutical policy.
No, everybody understands that every policy a large
government makes, including ours, is influenced by various
stakeholders who are affected by the policy.
But this is the one area we have
to be like, no, it had it had
nothing to do with the fact that his
biggest donors were pushing him to do this
or the BB visited seven times in one
year.
Are you joking?
I'm not going to play along with the
lies anymore.
I don't hate Jews.
I don't hate Israel.
I love my country.
This has happened yet again.
I can give you a whole list of
previous times where it's happened.
And I think we need to know what
happened so we don't hurt ourselves further.
So he is saying that Bibi Netanyahu convinced
Trump, the dummy.
To go to war against Iran at Israel's
behest.
And people believe this, John.
They believe this.
I am not saying don't blame Israel.
I think Israel has its own national interests.
And Israel was certainly pushing for things.
But I think there is more agency and
therefore more responsibility with the president of the
United States and the Trump administration.
I agree.
He represents me.
I live here.
That's but that's important because in the way
Israel pushed him into this now, he shouldn't
have gone along with it.
He should have pushed back.
But to pretend that Trump woke up one
morning is like, I'm not suggesting that to
be Israel pushed him.
The prime minister, by the way, it's not
even just it's not Israel.
There are a lot of people who disagree
in Israel.
I know some of them.
It was the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin
Netanyahu, who pushed our president into doing this.
And I hope this is the last time
that Netanyahu or any foreign head of state
will ever push an American president to do
something that hurts America.
I mean, it's one thing if you say
your donors, the lobby, the Congress had nothing
to do with this.
AIPAC didn't didn't force this war.
So the only logical conclusion Tucker has is
Bibi Netanyahu visited Trump seven times and said,
you're going to do this.
And Trump was like, OK, Bibi.
And the and the logical result of this
of this discussion is breaking up Trump's so
called MAGA base, America First base, which it
has broken into MAGA and America First.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a it's it's an
obvious fracture.
Let's talk a little bit more about how
this declining support for Israel, which I think
is one of the most significant political shifts
in the United States in recent years.
How is that shaping the MAGA movement?
I mean, are you now seeing when I
look at the opinion polls, I'm told that
there's 100 percent support amongst MAGA or 95
percent support for the war.
On the other hand, you're clearly a man
with a large number of followers who is
making a very, very different argument.
I was sitting next to Trump at his
house when he got elected.
I've known him a long time.
I talked to him a lot.
So wait a minute.
So Tucker was staying next to his house
when he got elected.
He's known him a long, long time.
He knows a lot about him.
And he think and so his conclusion is
that Trump is stupid and lets Israel push
him around.
Bibi Netanyahu specifically.
That sounds what he said, it sounds like
what he's saying.
You know, I don't fully understand what MAGA
is, but I know that the core promise
of the Trump political movement, Make America Great
Again, was America first.
And it was articulated by him repeatedly at
every campaign stop for 10 years.
So everyone in America knows this.
I think everyone globally knows this.
The core of this movement was the idea
that you would and we can debate about
how you do it, but you would try
to put the interest of your country at
the center of every calculation about how you
manage your country and how you interact with
the world.
It's not it's the single most obvious and
single most popular political concept ever devised.
OK, so he's saying something important here.
If the Curry Dvorak consulting group were asked
to give the president talking points, which he's
famously quite horrible at.
What would the talking points be to say
striking Iran was in America's interest?
Well, they had they were developing a weapon
that would have disrupted the world's economy and
hurt America.
We've heard that had to be stopped.
We've I mean, but now it was true.
All the times we've heard one more week
next week, next month.
Yeah, I know.
And you had to hear Lindsey Graham on
on the Bill O'Reilly podcast.
I saw it, but I couldn't get this
thing with it.
Well, you get 60 percent enriched, you know,
it means you get four weeks at any
given time.
But how but how about this?
How about this?
May not this may not be acceptable or
maybe too complicated for people to understand.
But how about this?
We're sick of the of Wall Street and
particularly the British banks running shipping, running the
insurance, keeping the Middle East in turmoil so
that they have extra premium on oil at
all times.
We're sick of them meddling in everything.
I'm trying to get stuff together with the
Abraham Accords.
I think I can get Israel in line,
but we've got to get these morons out
with their possible possible nuclear weapon.
And we've got to and we probably have
to get other companies running the oil from
Iran, which will give the profits to Iran
or split it the way we did with
Venezuela.
Would that not be a plausible answer, along
with, hey, China's been getting wholesale price.
They need to pay retail.
Isn't that America first?
Am I wrong about that?
I think that's a that's a perfect analysis.
Well, Tucker, in this last clip.
Leaves room to he could be a double
agent.
I'm listening is like, oh, hold on a
second.
So Tucker is now because he's good friends
with Trump.
Was there?
Oh, yeah.
Lives next door.
Living next door to him.
But the president, he has to convince me
that this was America first.
Listen to this.
Do you think Donald Trump has betrayed America
first?
I think that this war is something that
he promised he wouldn't do.
Not once, but countless times.
And until YouTube is banned, we'll be able
to prove that.
And the idea behind it is not only
contrary to America first.
It may be its inverse.
There's no argument that changing the regime in
Iran helps the United States.
And if there is an argument, I'd love
to hear it.
And by the way, if that argument is
sensible and convincing, I will support it.
All I care about is the United States.
But I haven't heard that argument a single
time.
All I've heard is the kind of tiresome
fear mongering about nuclear weapons, which Iran did
not have.
It's it's insulting, actually, even to make that
argument to me.
So that's a huge hole he leaves open
there.
If someone can convince him that this was
in America's interest, which I think I just
gave a reasonable argument, then Tucker would switch
around and be back on board and support
it.
Well, that's interesting.
You know, you've been in the hospital.
I know you've been watching TV.
But this is it's out of control.
It really is.
People hate Trump now.
They hate him.
Well, the contingency does.
No, it's it's it's big.
I have a feeling for these things.
It's big.
Well, I don't think it's as big as
you might think.
Well, we're talking about this, I got a
couple of side clip, if you want to
hear something kind of funny.
It's about time.
But before we do that, though, here I
do have the oil China analysis clip.
Ah, here we go.
China correspondent Laura Bicker has this from Beijing.
China is not feeling the shock of this
war yet, but it is feeling the ripple
effects.
First of all, let's look at oil, because
China is the world's largest importer of crude
oil.
And some wondered, how would Beijing cope?
Well, for the last few months since January,
it has been stockpiling crude oil.
And it's thought it has at least three
to four months supply.
Also, China's insulated from any energy crisis because
it's had this push towards renewables and, of
course, electric vehicles.
That should ensure the queues at the petrol
pumps will not be too long.
And of course, when it comes to oil,
we have seen analysts suggest that some Chinese
flagships are making it through the Strait of
Hormuz.
How many and for how long is uncertain.
Where China will be concerned is if this
turns into a long, protracted war in the
Middle East.
And that is because China will be worried
about the global economy.
The country is already trying to deal with
serious economic challenges domestically.
To get itself out of trouble, it needs
to export.
It needs to sell its goods.
If you have a large region like the
Middle East, which is very well connected right
across the global south to Africa and elsewhere,
then perhaps their buying power will be reduced.
That is something Beijing will not want to
see.
America first right there.
Oops.
Simmer down, China.
I'll see you in five weeks.
Yeah, well, hopefully.
Well, we'll see.
So here's the here's the kind of the
funny clip.
Nobody's reporting this except, you know, these these
screwball Channel 26 is where I got this
clip.
These these Indian channels and some of these
a couple of robots are reporting it to
me.
This has got to be one of the
typical crazy stories that come about because of
the sanctions and this and that.
And rogue ships and shipping companies that aren't,
you know, really owned by anybody.
And it's nuts out there.
So there's this screwball story going around, which
I thought was quite funny.
It should have been.
I would run it if I was a
news editor.
Dead ship, unreported story.
This should have been reported in mainstream media.
Channel 26.
There is a Russian ship that suffered damages
that we are seeing here.
And this caused leaders of five countries of
the European Union, surrounded by the Mediterranean, by
the Mediterranean Sea, to warn of a serious
and imminent risk of an ecological disaster in
this sea in the Mediterranean due to this
Russian LNG liquefied natural liquefied natural gas transport
ship.
Russian ship that has suffered an unidentified incident
with explosions and a fire.
In other words, they do not know for
sure if this has to do with the
war or not.
But let's say this ship suffered an incident
and that would generate a serious and imminent
risk of an ecological disaster in the Mediterranean.
The ship is a Russian gas tanker called
Arctic Metagas, damaged, damaged by a series of
explosions.
It has been adrift for 15 days.
Moscow claims that the ship was attacked by
Ukrainian underwater water drones.
In other words, it would not be related
to in Iran, but to the war between
Russia and Ukraine.
At the same time, Kiev didn't comment on
the incident, which means it didn't claim responsibility.
The precarious condition of this ship, combined with
the nature of its specialized cargo, creates an
imminent and serious risk of a major ecological
disaster in the heart of the European Union's
maritime space.
This was pointed out by the prime ministers
of Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Malta in
a letter they addressed to the European Commission.
You know who had this story?
Mimi had this story, actually.
Yes, she had this story, but she there
was another version of it.
I got cut right to the end.
I don't want to play the whole thing.
That's got a kind of a kicker.
Everybody seems to have missed.
OK, here we go.
The EU said the vessel was part of
Russia's shadow fleet used to circumvent sanctions imposed
after Russia's 2022 full scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russia's foreign ministry has acknowledged that the vessel
was adrift in the Mediterranean and said Moscow's
involvement in resolving the situation depended on concrete
circumstances.
Russia's transport ministry earlier this month said the
Arctic metagas carrying LNG from the Arctic port
of Mormansk was attacked by Ukrainian naval drones
and said the weapons had been launched by
Libyan Coast Guard.
Was this from a video game, a TV
series or a movie?
I have no it's a dumb clip.
It sounds terrible, but it's the little gotcha
at the end that just like, what are
they talking about?
What was the very end?
Let me listen.
Yes, carrying LNG from the Arctic port of
Mormansk was attacked by Ukrainian naval drones and
said the weapons had been launched by Libyan
Coast Guard.
Libyan Coast Guard.
Yeah, OK, what?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what what is that all
about?
I think people don't want to talk.
The Europeans don't really want to talk about
it because they have a different message.
This is Queen Ursula doubling down, doubling down
now that we have this oil shortage and
gas shortage.
And Europe is, you know, they are telling
people to drive slower, drive slower, drive slower
to work.
Everybody conserve.
Don't use your stove if you have gas.
Why do you have gas?
Don't use it.
Drive slower.
Try to take the train.
Try to take the bus.
This is crazy.
Here's her doubling down.
So we have our clear targets and we're
sticking to our targets.
Very important was the discussion.
And you just reiterated it.
How important it is that we do the
transformation in the energy sector to the clean,
homegrown energy sources.
This is for us extremely important.
Therefore, all the incentives we have set with
the emission trading system.
I think today in the European Council, it
was impressive to see there was a clear
majority clearly asking for the substance of the
emission trading system.
Also, you mentioned a few factors like being
homegrown or preventing the volatility of prices, but
also because the investment of the business case
needs stability and predictability.
So we are on track on the mid
and the long term and our goals are
very clear.
So if you caught it there in the
middle, she's talking about our emissions trading scheme
is now in place.
So they're doing the carbon credits thing.
They're moving.
Oh, brother.
Full steam ahead.
Yeah.
So you can trade in your emissions.
There's going to be a market for it.
Your carbon credits.
They are.
They are taking over Europe with this.
Taking over.
It's bad.
And meanwhile, speaking of carbon credits, what is
missing from this report is facing its worst
flooding in over 20 years as a second
powerful storm batters the islands.
Rising waters have flooded homes and officials are
closely monitoring a dam at risk of failure.
The Hawaii National Guard has been activated and
the governor there is urging residents to evacuate
immediately.
So far, more than 230 people have been
rescued and 5500 have been forced from their
homes.
The dam, which has been safe, was getting
close to 85 feet.
That's why we sounded the alarms and made
sure people could get over out of harm's
way.
Governor Josh Greene said the cost of this
storm could top one billion dollars, including damage
to airports, schools, roads, people's homes and a
Maui hospital.
I've looked through whatever clips were available of
this.
There's not a lot of people are talking
about it.
Nowhere does it appear they are.
Well, not I mean, have any of you
found any clips where they say due to
climate change?
No.
Or Jews.
All right.
Well, Robert, well, we had a couple of
deaths.
We have our immemorial segment for today.
Sad news as Chuck Norris passed away at
86.
An energetic Chuck Norris and what would be
his last social media post celebrating his 86
birthday.
I don't age.
I live alone.
His family announcing his death and asking for
privacy at this difficult time.
The actor and martial arts star was born
March 10th, 1940 in Oklahoma.
He joined the Air Force after high school
and was sent to Korea.
It was during this deployment that he would
begin his martial arts training, which would later
define his Hollywood career.
Norris was a six time undefeated middleweight karate
champion.
He credits Steve McQueen with encouraging him to
try acting world's greatest.
He crossed paths with another martial arts legend,
Bruce Lee.
They faced off against each other in the
1972 film The Way of the Dragon.
He acted in more than 20 movies, including
Missing in Action and The Delta Force.
And while they may not have been critically
acclaimed, they made box office gold and garnered
him millions of fans.
With his reputation as a tough guy firmly
established, he stepped into what would become his
most iconic role.
Famed lawman Cordell Walker in TV's Walker, Texas
Ranger.
The show was so popular it ran for
nine seasons and he was made an honorary
Texas Ranger.
Norris later found renewed fame as an Internet
meme where fans reveled in his toughness, sharing
takes such as Chuck Norris once ate an
entire bottle of sleeping pills.
They made him blink.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Did you ever meet him?
No, did you?
No.
I was going to ask if Mimi had
dated him because, you know, she has a
lot of stories.
She got story.
She's got a she got stories, man.
She got stories.
So I want to get two clips out
of the way.
OK, that because I thought you kind of
short sheeted the idea on your last show
with Mimi about what I thought.
I was pushing this in the background, by
the way, was the Cesar Chavez BS.
I've never seen anything, any group of people
panic so much over Cesar Chavez.
And I want to play two clips.
This is, for example, set it up and
explain what Cesar Chavez has been who's been
dead for years.
Some woman who was his sidekick for the
whole time he was running the farmworkers out
of the blue.
And after every after him and his brother
are both dead, I decided to slam him
for some reason.
Like she was called out by, I don't
know, given a phone call.
I don't know what the deal, what's behind
all this.
And to say that he was a rapist
and just a terrible person.
And it basically overnight, half the schools in
California are named Cesar Chavez.
Streets everywhere named Cesar Chavez.
And this is all it's all being covered
up.
The parks, the dog walking park, everything is
a full on cancellation.
It's a full on cancellation so far after
the fact is ridiculous.
But you have to listen to a couple
of these these guys.
American Cholo is one of them who has
a kind of an outline of some of
the stuff going on.
This is Chavez with about Huerta, the woman
who made the accusations.
Dolores Huerta, all said and done, had 11
children.
OK, doesn't make her a bad woman.
But let's just let's put context into this.
She had two, which nobody know about until
just recently from Cesar Chavez.
She also had two from a prior relationship.
Ralph, she had two children from him, which
I believe was one of her longest relationships.
She had one with what's name Ventura was
another one.
She had five children from this man.
Right.
And the other one that she had kids
from was Cesar Chavez's brother.
She got with Cesar Chavez's brother and had
four children from him.
I don't know if this is a pattern,
but it's definitely not somebody who you would
think is, you know, living the high and
moral life.
And for her to have four children with
the brother of the man she is now
accusing of raping and having a relationship with
the brother and with Cesar Chavez for all
those years, for decades.
It makes me think it just makes me
think I'm sorry.
I know it's easy to just sit there
and bash the man and just say, yeah,
it's true.
I bet there's people bashing.
And the reason they're bashing me is because
he was anti-immigration.
He was calling, you know, Mexicans wetbacks or
any other Latinos wetbacks.
Different time.
You can't sit there and put your morals
and values of today's of today's world to
yesterday's life.
So to me, I'm making this video so
that we can discuss this.
Have the conversation about this.
Let's sit here and have a real conversation
in the comment section without just spewing hate,
without just spewing allegations, facts, bro.
There has to be something that somebody got
wind of that is that or maybe a
documentary or something is coming.
That is a detriment to the Democrat Party
and their entire stance on illegal immigrant workers.
It has to be so, too.
I think they're clearing the runway.
But why?
I don't.
Austin is doing it, too.
We have Cesar Chavez Avenue, I think it's
kind of the main drag by the river
in Austin.
They already have city council has already approved
a measure and it has to go through
a couple of steps.
They want to change that as well.
There must be something that somebody got wind
of that's brewing that is so bad that
this has to happen.
I agree, but what?
Well, we're going to find out eventually, but
the way they've done this in such a
panicky fashion from one woman out of the
blue, you know, decades later.
It's just it's a masterpiece in in orchestrated
cancellation.
This is not just casual.
No, I have another clip of her.
This is Huerta herself.
She's she's leading.
This is like in 2008, long after her
rape.
She's still with Chavez and she is leading
a march, the farmers farm workers march.
You can hear it just to show you
that she was still involved with him.
Well, today, we're going to be marching.
Remembering Chavez.
So I'm going to have to get along
with every step that we take.
We're going to be dedicated ourselves to continue
Chavez's legacy.
See, you want to tell me what she
said because I could hear Chavez's leg.
See, this is after after he is gone.
She's still supporting him.
I mean, this is this whole thing is
so phony and and it and it got
just eaten up by the media.
I mean, I've never seen anything happen so
fast.
No hearings, no discussion.
One woman, you know.
I'd have to do the look at the
calculation of the date years after his death
and just after his brother's death.
So they have no dead man can't talk.
Does this.
And it gets picked up on.
Well, so this whole thing, I see the
New York Times.
Published a multi-year investigative report on the
18th.
And this is what's kicked it off.
And their report details decades, decades.
Oh, here we go.
Decades of grooming and sexual assault of minors.
And that's like with an O and women
within the UFW.
Maybe there's something in the deep in the
annals, so to speak, of the UFW, which
is the workers, the farm workers, the farm
workers union workers.
Yeah.
Maybe there's, it's gotta be a, it's gotta
be like a Netflix thing or Amazon.
Maybe there's a movie.
Yeah.
Movie or Amazon or a document.
It would have to be Amazon, not Netflix.
Something has got to come out.
Something has got to be brewing that they're
freaked out about.
There's no other reason for this clearly coordinated.
That's probably Mimi brought it up.
I'm like, I mean, I'm sure it's bigger
in California.
It's probably about something in California.
Cause we're not hearing about it.
I had to look it up to see
if Austin was a part of it.
Of course they are.
Maybe there's an Epstein connection.
Yeah, that's what it is.
So Robert Mueller died.
Yeah.
And then Trump did his usual good.
I'm glad he's dead.
And of course he gets condemned for being
basically rude.
A douche.
Well, it's very convenient that Mueller's dead and
it's the right time to go.
You know, this with, uh, I, I think
Tulsi Gabbard is still, uh, looking at things.
I don't know.
She may, she may be ready to bail.
There's lots of rumors.
Tulsi Gabbard ready to bail.
She's ready to bail, ready to bail.
She getting out, ready to go.
I know.
We'll see.
But I think the, the funniest move, uh,
by Trump is this one.
Well, onto this Fox News alert.
President Trump just posting this on true social
quote.
If the radical left Democrats don't immediately sign
an agreement to let our country in particular,
our airports be free and safe again, I
will move our brilliant and patriotic ice agents
to the airports where they will do security
like no one has ever seen before, including
the immediate arrest of all illegal immigrants who
have come into our country with heavy emphasis
on those from Somalia who have totally destroyed
with the approval of a corrupt governor, attorney
general and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the once great
state of Minnesota.
I look forward to seeing ice in action
at our airports, make America great again.
And that comes as we know, ice is
fully funded for a few years.
So he does have the power to do
this.
And I guess the question remains, does Chuck
Schumer continue this and president Trump make good
on that promise?
He just put out on true social.
Well, that's going to be interesting.
Yeah, I thought that was a good move.
I don't know if it's going to speed
up the lines any.
I doubt it.
No, to slow them down, probably.
Yeah, like papers, papers, everybody show your papers.
The happiest countries in the world is out
again.
Is Denmark one?
No, no, Denmark is down there at number
three.
Holy mackerel.
Yeah, they're also one of the most medicated.
No, number one is.
Well, this kind of makes sense that people
are happy there because they've got women.
Finland is number one.
Finland, why is Finland so happy?
I don't know, I've never seen a Finn
laugh.
Iceland is number two edging past Denmark.
Now, in the report from the BBC, they
show this is probably a little slanted.
You see Iceland, they're looking at like some
downtown, they've got a rainbow street.
OK, so maybe it's because they're all gay.
That's maybe they're confusing happy with gay.
Gay means happy.
Yes.
So it's Finland number one, Iceland number two,
Denmark number three, Costa Rica number four, Sweden
at number five.
Are you kidding me?
People in Sweden are mad.
Then you've got Norway at six and the
Netherlands at seven.
The Dutch have never been happy about anything.
They're just not a happy people.
So this is the bogus poll.
Yeah.
Who does this poll?
Let me see.
Wallet hub.
They don't actually explain it.
Thanks, BBC.
I don't explain how they do this.
Who does this?
Who does this poll?
They make a big deal about it in
the news and it always comes.
Oh, it's Gallup.
Oh, Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre and
the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
Well, it's green, too.
There you go, because they're green and they're
happy with their immigrants.
OK, that makes total sense.
Since we're going to smash everything together into
one segment and I want you to kind
of ease into everything, I want to do
a couple of tech things.
But is there anything else you want to
play from your list?
Well, since you talked about Denmark, I might
as well play my asylum commentary from a
Denmark person discussing the Palestinians that moved there.
So Denmark did a little scientific study with
the 321 Palestinian asylum seekers they've let into
their country.
What they did was they basically just kept
track of them and their children over the
last 30 years.
And out of those 321 original refugees, 204
of them have been convicted of a crime.
That's 64 percent.
Seventy one of them have been sent to
jail.
That's about one out of every four.
One hundred and seventy six of them are
on government welfare.
That's more than 50 percent of them.
Now, the fun part is when we get
to their 399 children, where 337 of them
ended up convicted of a crime.
That's 85 percent.
Hundred and thirty two of them went to
jail and 372 of them out of 399
ended up on welfare.
Now, let's just talk simple logistics.
That isn't sustainable.
That isn't a pathway for your country to
succeed.
You're talking about a single group of refugees
that in just two generations had a higher
than 50 percent crime rate, a higher than
50 percent jailed rate and nearly an 80
percent rate of being dependent upon the state
to survive.
Yeah, that's fucked.
No, that makes you happy.
That gets you in the top three of
the happiest countries in the world.
Because it's great.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's policy, they can do that with
Somalia, they could do that, any country wants
to do that, play that game.
They just have to find a little group
to ghettoized group of the moment.
And of course, they've been there 30 years
and and do this that it's always going
to be crappy.
But yet we still hear the immigrants do
less crime than the people that live there.
Right.
Where did that come from?
I don't know.
From some think tank, no doubt.
Let's just do a little bit of a
little bit of stuff, because there's been some
things happening and there's some things changing.
And I have had some new some new
thoughts.
The first thing is open AI is getting
ready for the biggest public offering in the
world's history, and they're trying to shore everything
up and get it all set and get
ready and batten down the hatches.
Getting new details today from an open AI
all hands meeting where leadership doubled down on
the push toward their enterprise business and an
IPO.
What does it mean?
Kate Rooney has more tech check.
Kate.
Hi, Kelly.
So that was the message from C.G.
Simo.
She's open eyes, CEO of applications.
I spoke to somebody who was in the
room at her employee all hands last week.
The source says that she really emphasized why
their enterprise business is so important.
This was two employees.
She really tried to rally employees around that
message.
According to this person, Simo said that the
opportunity is to now take chat.
Nine hundred million users, turn them into high
compute users and transform it into a productivity
tool as part of that open has been
shifting its focus from some of the less
profitable projects within the business.
The Journal was first to report some of
these details.
Someone close to Sam Altman also tells me
it does fit within his broader strategy for
open enterprise and have had the most material
impact on revenue ahead of an IPO and
open is going to need to prove more
discipline, not just talk about it.
And that is where CFO Sarah Fryer is
coming in.
I'm told by sources she's been getting open.
I ready to list as early as the
fourth quarter of this year discussing which gap
metrics to use.
We have reported she has been putting out
a more defined infrastructure spend 600 billion versus
more than a trillion dollars to investors.
And then Fryer also, I'm told, is beefing
up the IR team.
She hired Cynthia Gaylor that's Morgan Stanley's former
banker.
She was the CFO of Dropbox to really
help get that message out to Wall Street.
Kelly.
So I don't know about this IPO.
I mean, they need to do it.
They need to get early investors out.
People are probably like, you better get this
company public so I can bail out of
this as soon as I can to get
my thinking.
I don't know if this will be the
tipping point, but I have been doing a
lot of of intense A.I. work vibe
coding at home.
I did the whole open cloth thing and
found it tedious, annoying.
It's not very great.
I mean, you know, people are all just
loving it because it it does things for
you.
And then I discovered something called open code,
which is an open source, open source program,
open source models that is incredibly useful.
You you can make it do stuff on
your computer and make your computer do things
that are handy.
So as an example, you know, the entire
Linux system that I'm using for this show,
I created, you know, with with local things
doing it locally.
It's for my computer.
It's not useful for anybody else.
I open sourced it.
I put it on GitHub.
But, you know, I don't know if anyone
cares.
Ben Rose actually said something interesting to me
the other day.
He says, if I create a piece of
software that just solves one problem for me,
that's great.
I don't need to have some software company
like Microsoft.
So an example would be Windows Office.
Like I need something that creates documents compatible
with Microsoft Office.
I don't need the ribbon.
I don't need Clippy.
I don't need Zippy.
I don't need all of this stuff.
Just just do that.
And these local programs and local large language
models that you can run yourself are capable
of doing that.
And so I was listening to the All
In podcast with JCal, JCal and the crew,
and they were at the big NVIDIA conference.
As an aside, Jason Calacanis, who donated eight
hundred and eighty eight dollars and eighty eight
cents to give you a reason to live,
was the only person, the only person, not
Darren, not Larry, not Mo.
He was the only person that sent me
a personal message and said, hey, if you
need me to sit in or help out
a little bit while while John's getting better,
I'm here for you.
I thought that was really quite sweet.
Yeah, he's actually a good guy.
He is a good guy.
And he and so I'm listening to this
interview and Jensen's got his leather jacket on
and everyone's drooling over him as usual.
Chamath and all those guys.
Oh, Jensen.
But JCal, who he does, he sometimes he
launches stuff on when he said this.
I don't know if he made it up
or not, but this hit me.
And and I think I can kind of
see where things are going with AI.
I want to take you from the data
center to the desktop.
See, when JCal says something like that from
the data center, the desktop, I can already
hear the CNBC people saying that two weeks
from now.
It's great.
We're going from the data center to the
desktop.
I want to take you from the data
center to the desktop.
The company was built in large part on
hobbyists, video gamers and all those graphic cards
in the beginning.
And you mentioned in front of, I think,
10,000 people here, just Clawed, OpenClaw, ClawedCode
and what a revolution agents have become.
And specifically, the hobbyists who are really where
a lot of energy we see, you know,
a lot of the innovation breaks, want desktops.
You announced one here.
I believe it's the Dell 6800.
This is a very powerful workstation to run
local models, 750 gigs of RAM.
Obviously, the the Mac Studio sold out everywhere
in my company.
We're moving to OpenClaw, everything.
Freeberg just got ClawedPilled.
You got ClawedPilled.
I understand you're obsessed with these.
What is this from the streets movement of
creating open source agents and using open source
on the desktop mean to you?
So great.
Where is that going?
So great.
So a couple of things here.
First of all, I love ClawedPilled.
How ridiculous.
It really so the people are using this
agents, it's like an agent, oh, I got
an agent on the computer.
It really is phenomenal if you use open
code and you say, I need a program
on my computer that does this.
And I had something really simple.
I wanted to log into Google News using
my account, get the top 10 headlines about
a topic that I give it usually two
words like Straits of Hormuz, Hormuz Straits, I
think I put in there.
I wanted to give me a summary of
the topic.
Show me the top 10 stories and then
find the top five YouTube videos about it.
It has changed the way I do my
show prep.
And I asked it to do that and
I could watch it build this program, this
program specifically just for me.
Not useful to anybody else, not an agent,
but it is it's building software for me
that for a specific need that I that
I have.
Now, Jekyll says something very interesting here that
they're coming out with or they they are
powering a 750 gigabyte Dell computer and that
the Apple M4, you know, Studio 10, whatever,
is sold out.
The reason being what Apple has done specifically,
you can load that up with 500 gigabytes
of regular RAM and the architecture of Apple's
device.
And I presume things are going to change
for for the Intel devices you can use,
you can it automatically will apportion that to
running the the large language model.
So you don't need a specific NVIDIA GPU.
It can use this RAM and it can
allocate whatever is necessary.
And so when I heard Jensen Wang go,
oh, so great.
I thought I heard him saying not so
great.
And listen to the second clip.
OpenClaw basically put into the popular consciousness what
an A.I. agent can do.
That's the reason why OpenClaw is so important
from a cultural perspective.
Now, the second second reason why it's so
important is that OpenClaw is open, but it
formulates its structures, a type of computing model
that is basically reinventing computing altogether.
It has a memory system.
Yes.
Scratch is a short term memory file system.
It has it has, you know, it has
resources and manages resources.
It's it does scheduling.
Yeah.
Right.
And it cron jobs.
It could it could spawn off agents.
It could it could decompose a task and
and cause and solve problems as does scheduling.
It has I.O. subsystems.
It could, you know, input has output and
connect to WhatsApp.
And also it has a API that allows
it to run multiple types of applications called
skills.
Yeah.
These four elements fundamentally define a computer.
Yeah.
And therefore, what do we have?
We have a personal artificial intelligence computer for
the very first time.
Open source.
It's open source.
It runs literally everywhere.
And so this is now the this is
the this is basically the blueprint.
The operating system of modern computing, I think.
Well, I think I'm sorry about that.
I think there's something here.
It wasn't that always Steve Jobs's dream to
have the computer interface just be I want
you to do this.
And it does it.
I think what's happening with open source, not
with with the big models and open AI
and Gemini and Anthropic and all that, but
with stuff you can run at home, if
RAM weren't so crazy expensive, which may not
be by accident.
You can do it with just if you
have enough RAM, you can run this and
yeah, you might have a different computing experience
that has kind of always been the dream
of Silicon Valley, but no one wants to
admit it.
Nobody actually wants it to happen.
Does that make sense?
A little bit.
I have to think about it.
Well, you'll have plenty of time to think
about it.
You think?
Because in the meantime, while you're thinking, I
want to thank you for your courage to
say in the morning to you, the man
who put the C in Clawpilled, say hello
to my friend on the other end, the
one, the only, the welcome back, Mr. John
C.
Durant.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam
Curry.
Why are you laughing?
Because I'm thinking this is like the opening
of the show.
What is this is the triggered, triggered an
opening remark for me, and I never did
get what I said is we have free
gas.
You should have said you have free gas
up there.
You know, you never threw a question at
me so I could do my my joke.
No.
OK, hold on a second.
What do you mean you got free gas?
Yeah, you get free gas if you give
him the code word.
What's the code word?
This is a stick up.
OK, let's count the trolls for a second.
Oh, he's back, everybody.
He's back.
Let's say, oh, we have.
Twenty one oh five.
No, it's not bad for us.
Not too bad.
It's like it's not like people really care
that much about you, but at least they
came back.
You know, listen, you can download the show.
I've heard about that as a podcast.
Those trolls are listening live at no agenda
stream dot com, and they're probably using they
should be using one of those modern podcast
apps, which you can find at podcast apps
dot com.
Why, you ask?
Well, because then you get an alert when
we go like it's a regular podcast app
with all of the cool new features, chapters,
transcripts, you name it.
But when we go live, you get a
bad signal, you get a you get an
immediate alert and you can listen to podcasts
live.
A lot of the podcasts at No Agenda
Nation are stream live first and you can
subscribe to them and it all comes through
the wonderful magic of the no agenda stream.
But many others are doing it as well.
And we are value for value.
Thank you so much for keeping the show
afloat during John John's short absence.
It was highly appreciated.
Really nice to see that people wanted you
to wanted to give you a reason to
live and clearly it worked so far.
And the value for value can be done
in multiple ways.
You can send in your time, your talent
or your treasure.
The treasure part is obvious.
We'll get to that.
But we have time and talent, people doing
a lot of work.
When I made the call, we didn't know
exactly what's going to happen.
I must have received three or four different
best of shows.
So thank you.
If you're still working on one, finish it.
It's never, never a bad idea to have
a bad idea.
Never a bad idea to have a best
of show.
And people still created artwork.
We didn't have the same type of discussion
because I was just selecting the art.
I was letting Mimi go because she would
after every show, she's like, wow, this is
tiring.
Like, this is a lot of work.
Yeah.
People, people don't like doing it, though.
That's the funny thing.
Of course you like doing it.
And she was good at it.
It was a different show, but she was
very good at it and enjoyed it immensely.
And she inspired the art for episode 1852,
which was submitted to No Agenda Art Generator
dot com by Blue Acorn.
And this was you really had to listen
to the show to understand this one.
Shaggy dog story, Mimi at the pool in
her bikini with Jim Morrison of the Doors
wearing his own T-shirt.
You had to be there.
But I liked it.
I thought it was a good piece.
So were you looking at the art at
all during your your downtime?
Only to repost.
OK, I didn't look at the art.
I'm way behind on looking at the art.
Well, we're going to start looking at the
art on Thursday's show.
So please submit your artwork for episode 1853.
All of that is highly appreciated.
And we always thank all of our supporters.
Fifty dollars and above.
And we're going to do it all in
this segment to give John a little a
little easy ease back into the show.
And we'll start with our executive and associate
executive producers.
Right off the bat with one thousand and
fifty dollars from Lago Vista, Texas, Jim.
Then he says, Jim and Lago Vista here.
Heard you all talking about gyros recently.
Holy crap.
That's a while back.
Yes.
Reminded me of our flight, throwing some in
the kitty.
And I may have some fresh content of
interest.
Oh, this is this is Jim who took
me in the gyrocopter trip.
Oh, you went up in a gyro?
Yeah, I wanted to learn how to fly
him.
And I was still in Austin when I
went up there.
And they have a flight school.
And, you know, gyros are great.
I really want to fly a chopper.
You fly one of these.
I bet it's it's it's different.
It's it's a different answer.
Yes.
But it is.
It's a very different type of flying.
They're not super fast, which is a bit
like helicopters.
But there's some new ones out there that
are, you know, seven hour hang time.
They got air conditioning, you know, three, you
know, going to seat five people in some
of these things.
They're getting very sophisticated.
And they are, by my account, some of
the safest type of aircraft you can get.
So, Jim, reach out to me.
He gave it give us his email.
So I'll email him and they'll find out
what's going on.
I'm excited.
I'm always excited in a good gyro gyro
trip.
And now we have anonymous in Lopak, Holland.
Is that right?
Lopak, Lopak, Lopak, Lopak, Lopak, eight, eight, eight,
eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight,
no, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight.
The my lucky number.
Yes.
Actually, I prefer being a douchebag and stay
anonymous.
However, unexpected acceptance can or exceptions can arise.
Have a great recovery, recovery, John, from the
belly of the beast.
Software developer Thorac Centrum in Rotterdam.
Hmm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Lopak is where they have the big
TV mast.
Thank you very much, anonymous.
Five hundred and fifty five dollars and eighty
eight cents.
Give John a reason to live donation.
Sir Scott, the Jew in the North Idaho
Sanity Brigade from Post Falls, Idaho.
John, see, he says, congratulations on one of
the best donation promotions you've ever come up
with.
Another bold and creative strategy from a true
guru of solicitation on behalf of the NISB.
That's the North Idaho Sanity Brigade.
We are glad you survived your heart attack,
even if Mimi is on the fence.
Wow.
For a brief moment, we were worried the
show might pivot into a post John era,
which, let's be honest, would only expose just
how bought and paid for by the Israel
industrial complex Adam truly is.
That encouraging you to do exactly.
Wow.
Thanks, Judas.
Encouraging you to ditch the Bay Area before
it actually kills you, sir.
Scott, the Jew in the North Idaho Sanity
Brigade.
P.S. shameless plug for the N.O.
I.D. podcast.
It's no agenda for Idaho.
If you like the media deconstruction format and
you want to hear what it sounds like
when it's tailored for a specific region, go
to no I.D. show dot com and
check out our program.
We run value for value.
The hyperlocal revolution.
All right.
Beautiful for him.
Yes, it's very good.
Nick Sopes in Peyton, Colorado, three eight oh
eight.
Listen here, Jack.
This is a total recall donation.
Hall, make me wish.
Oh, make me wish I had three hands.
Maybe y'all, maybe y'all.
He was doing a voice text.
Says Hall.
Yeah.
OK.
Y'all make me wish I had three
hands so I could get three times the
applause.
Well, there'd be something to see.
Welcome back, John.
And thank you for your courage.
Mimi R.I.P. Chuck Norris XOXO Nick.
Hey, there's Dana Brunetti coming in with an
executive producer level donation.
Three thirty three thirty three from the ranch
in eighty eight for some reason.
Yes.
Well, because he loves you.
Brunetti has been you know, he missed you
so bad.
He was texting me every day and calling
and calling me, calling me.
So he's probably has he called you yet?
He must have called you by now.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
More than once.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
He says, welcome back from vacation, J.C
.D. Hopefully now the big donations from Sir
Animas of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia will start
back up so we can all try to
decode the messages to you from Mimi out
on assignment.
Yeah, this is his big theory.
You've heard this theory.
Yeah, he thinks Mimi is a spook.
I'm her handler and anonymous at Dogpatch in
Lower Slobovia as Mimi's conduit of cash that
goes into the show.
Yes, but you're not the handler.
She's your handler.
No, no.
He's he changed it.
Oh, well, let me read the rest of
the note.
You should also know that Adam was flirting
with Mimi and grooming her while you were
away, lying by the pool in Cabo.
And she was even sending bikini pictures to
him.
Hey, Mimi, send me some to.
Yeah, that's true.
Not not.
It's not a bikini.
It's a hot pants.
John, how do I reach you?
Your landline just rings and rings.
You need to set up forwarding or at
least voicemail.
I have to communicate with Adam more now
than ever.
Not that that's a bad thing, Adam.
I just don't want John getting jealous.
How are we going to schedule our next
dinner or our trip to see Big Boy?
Oh, my God.
Listen to that horn.
He made me do that.
So.
If you call my landline, it forwards to
Jay's cell phone number and she picks it
up.
And if I'm standing around, she'll hand it
over to me.
So I don't know what he's talking about.
All right.
Well, the big boy checked it out just
before the show.
He wants to go see some train.
The big boy train is the I know
the big boy is going to be in
the neighborhood.
What is the big boy?
That's the world's biggest America's anyway.
Biggest is the giant locomotive that the Union
Pacific floats around the West Coast.
It's huge.
Look up.
Big boy.
Union Pacific.
Big boy.
You may you may you may not want
to Google that.
You might want to be careful.
You get all kinds of interesting results.
If you say Union Pacific.
Oh, OK.
Now that's that's your Google phrase.
Shall I read this one since it's very
long?
Yeah, you might as well.
Are you going to play any like sick
man card at all?
You haven't done that once during the show.
You haven't done what?
Are you going to play like the sick
guy?
It's good for months.
It's going to take two months before I
can move my arms, basically.
Well, so you say, oh, you you've got
to read this long note because I had
a heart attack.
I could have done it that time, but
I'm saving now.
You gave me an extra bonus.
This is from Sean Ryan in Valente, Texas.
Three hundred dollars and eighty eight cents.
Please deduce me and my son, Dylan.
Ryan, you've been deduced.
There's the deduce for him and one for
you've been deduced.
I'm finally getting around to making my first
donation.
I started listening to your show late last
year.
My Gen Zed son Dylan said, Dad, you
should check out the no agenda show.
I think you'd like it.
I'm a boomer and he's a zoomer.
Yes, I was a late bloomer.
I like the show the first time I
heard it, but I was and still am
confused with fighting stage four cancer of the
ride that killed Scott Adams recently.
I don't like to think about that much.
So I was an occasional listener then.
Now I can hardly function without listening to
every show fully, even to the very end
with your lovely closing music.
I've abandoned all other podcasts and a good
man.
They just don't carefully listen to and deconstruct
the M5M like you guys do.
I'm addicted.
My request accompanying this donation, there will be
more as I fully intend to reach night
status before things go to heck in a
hand basket with my health is twofold.
First, kindly did you both me and my
son Dylan Ryan did that.
His referring me to your show has instilled
a sense of pride that I raised him
right.
The allocation for deducing should be two hundred
and fifty dollars and eighty eight cents allocated
towards my path to knighthood with the remainder
allocated to him.
Secondly, I request that you do an F
cancer along with good health karma.
When you read my note on the air
coming up.
Lastly, I will be making the trip to
Fredericksburg on April 11th, 2026 for the meetup
at the 1776 bar and full moon in
bed and breakfast.
I really hope to have the opportunity to
meet one of my two most admired people.
You, Adam, it'll be great to meet John
someday, but he seems a bit tied up
with surviving heartbreak at the moment.
On that note, I really enjoyed Mimi's commentary
while filling in for J.C.D. Thanks,
Mimi.
Cheers and well wishes from Sean Ryan.
Well, that's very nice.
And we do have we got a note.
You've got karma.
And I'm looking forward to seeing you.
We will see you there.
First, Michael Subco.
Who came in with a check from Belmar,
New Jersey, for three hundred dollars and 80
cents with no note that we can find,
which means he gets a double up karma.
You've got.
Karma.
We're also doing all of the nightings and
damings today, which should be quite a lot
for those, which is quite a lot.
Yes, we kept them in abeyance.
You know what's funny?
We have like a thousand nights and dames
and one birthday.
I know.
I thought there's something wrong with the list.
No, it's not.
Robert Rose in blue here.
So something's happening with him today.
Cedar City, Utah.
Major deducing in order.
It has been a shameful four years since
I've donated.
My original plan was to become a knight
by the end of 2021, but failed miserably.
I'm happy to report that this donation brings
me above the threshold to the seat to
be seated at the coveted table.
Let me just.
You've been deduced.
Some canned Coke zero and winter green zins
for the whole table.
I'd like to be known as Sir Rob
SCR for some reason.
Knight of the southern Utah Red Rock region.
John, great to have you back.
And we're all wishing you a quick recovery.
No agenda isn't the same without both you
and Adam.
Obligatory shout out to Mimi.
She did great.
My next donation will be a check and
handwritten note because I know how much you
love those John health karma for John and
anyone else that needs it.
Love and light from Sir Rob.
You've got karma.
Here we have.
Oh, it's the Indian and no agenda meet
up in out of Greenwood, Indiana.
It's from the Greenwood.
It's from the Greenwoods, the Greenwood.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Uh, two, two, two, two, two.
The Indy and a meet up raffles switcheroo
donation for Gary Goodman.
Note get well, John.
And you two should think about having Mimi
as a special reporter every month or so.
No karma.
Karma jingle for everybody.
Gary, you know, you've got karma.
You know, we'll keep Mimi in abeyance when
we need her.
I got a for some reason, a check
was sent to my P.O. Box from
Sir PBR Street Gang and Dame Trinity.
I'm actually going to add them into into
this.
How did they have your P.O. Box?
No, I'm sorry.
It wasn't my P.O. It was to
our home address.
How did they?
Oh, OK, well, I guess.
Well, yeah, we all know how that happened.
Tip of the day.
Yes.
And I'm like, well, thank you.
But don't say because, you know, now I
have to send it to John.
And so it's Sir PBR Dame Trinity.
I'm putting them on this list here.
They and they said podcasts are down.
Maybe you know what?
They probably thought John can't no one can
get to the P.O. Box because John
is out.
Maybe that's what they thought.
Hope this note finds you well.
Dame Trinidad, we're traveling back from Pennsylvania.
Listen to the live stream of this Thursday's
podcast.
Simply stunned.
Please know that we are both praying for
John Swift recovery.
Please find the enclosed donation of a row
of ducks to to to to to.
Thank you for your witness and growth in
faith.
We are praying for John's return to his
Catholic roots during his health issue.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Your brother and sister in Christ, Sir PBR
three gang and Dame Trinity.
Any any any luck there?
Any any return to your Catholic roots?
In what way?
Does anyone expect me to get up and
go to church?
I don't know.
After having my ribs ripped open.
I don't think so.
Maybe you met God or you just heard
everyone talking while I heard.
Well, when I was with that intubation, I
think more than a few things happened.
OK.
Well, we'll leave that as it is.
Whatever that means.
All right.
I'll take it.
How about Sir Duggett up?
In Missoula, Montana, two to two.
Welcome back, J.C.D. This donation brings
me to Barron.
All right.
Henceforth, I'd like to be known as Sir
Duggett up of the sharp shovel as a
shoveler, scrutinizer of the subterranean.
It is a pleasure if it pleases the
peerage.
Yes, of course.
You could.
That's a.
I really don't think that title is under
a under a debate now.
OK, that's it.
That's it.
Then we go to Matthew Martel, Brumal, Pennsylvania.
Time to step aside.
Bongino, the pod mother, is here to run
things now.
Two hundred and ten dollars and 60 cents.
Visit Martel Hardware dot com.
Use coupon code Mimi 33 for an additional
10 percent off your order.
We're all going to die.
J.C.D. Hot pockets.
OK.
Oops.
I'm sorry about that.
Here we go.
Hot pockets.
All right.
Done, done, done, done.
All right.
Ah, Eli, the coffee guy in Bentonville, Illinois.
2888.
We're happy to have you back.
Mimi did a great job looking, holding the
fort, and I enjoyed the fresh perspective.
A few of her clips probably could have
been clip of the day.
Oh, really?
We're never awarded such by Adam.
It doesn't say the last few weeks say
that the last few weeks made me realize
that you'd gone to her head.
The last few weeks made me realize how
much I appreciate the show and the value
it's brought over the past decade.
Almost two decades.
Good to have the dynamic duo back in
action, especially with everything going on around the
globe.
If a global supply chain hit another snag,
not a bad time to stock up on
coffee.
There's a gigawatt coffee roasters dot com and
use the code ITM 20 for 20 percent
off your order.
Stay caffeinated.
Eli, the coffee guy.
Then we have a daily darling.
Ailey, Ali, Ali, Ailey, Ali, Granada Hills, Grenada
Hills, probably California.
Two hundred and eight dollars with a note
as this.
Yes, here it is.
Handwritten in the morning, Adam and John.
As before, I want to thank you two
for cutting through the MSM bias, which most
of my friends and family listen to without
recognizing.
I appreciate that you read out the notes
from producers, along with where they are from
us, as it's a reminder that there are
free thinkers everywhere, even here in the left
leaning progressive Los Angeles.
It was great to hear John.
I must have such a hard time in
Los Angeles.
It was great to hear John in the
opening clip of Thursday's show as as impressed
as I am with Mimi.
And it's been interesting to hear her take
on current events, especially Iran, since she lived
there.
Yes, that was great.
We need John back.
He and Adam go together like peanut butter
and jelly.
No jingles needed, but karma for all.
Ailey, Ali, Ali, I'm going to say Ali,
Ali, darling from Grenada, Grenada Hills in California,
apparently near Los Angeles.
You've got karma.
Christopher Graves and Somerset, California.
Does that hurt?
Coughing, does that hurt?
No, you have to cough because you get
a lot of liquids during all these operations.
You end up with fluids.
Oh, fluids.
You got to cough them out.
In fact, when you're when the nurses come
by, they come by.
I got to get you vital.
Say I did this.
You got to do that.
Of course, every time they do that, I've
asked a couple of the nurses, by the
way, said, so what do they charge the
government?
I'm Medicare for every time someone does a
test of my blood pressure.
A check.
Yeah, the blood pressure check.
OK.
And they do it when you're in different
parts of the hospital.
It can be twice an hour.
Why not?
And did you get a number?
I said, what do you think they charge?
And she said, I have no idea.
And nobody has a clue.
I'm sure it's a thousand dollars.
No.
Well, it might be.
I mean, if it was, I would not
be shocked.
But there's a bunch of these things that
I have thoughts.
Where am I?
I'm lost.
You're at Graves.
Yes.
Somerset, California, two or three.
Twenty two.
Welcome back, John.
This is a let me finish the story.
So they come by because you have to
have this cough to get rid of some
of the stuff that's in the lungs from
all these fluids.
Yes.
So they actually make you cough and it
hurts like a son of a bitch.
No kidding.
How about laughter is laughter?
Oh, it's the worst.
Oh, no wonder.
OK, the first time I laughed, it was
like I thought I'd just drop dead.
It was like, OK, I'm going to have
to be more objective about this humor.
Oh, no, it was really.
Laughing is really rough.
I'm sorry.
Well, you're sorry.
I am kind of.
Yeah.
Welcome back, John.
This is a welcome home and thank you
to Mimi donation.
Hold on your friends.
Little John Scout, by the way, little John's
double up on some karma, please.
That's what he said.
Double car.
They sent a bunch of boxes of little
John's chocolate that they hand out to the
various nurses, physical therapists and the break room
and whatever.
So that was very nice of them.
Yeah.
Do you think you got it?
Jake comes with a bunch of boxes of
these things.
Do you think you got extra you got
better treatment because of the goodies?
It was as I was checking out of
the hospital.
Oh, I should have sent it earlier.
Oops.
Sorry.
Here we go.
Mimi donation.
You've got a lot of karma.
And that brings us to our last associate
executive producer for episode 1853 from Linda Lupak
in Castle Rock, Colorado.
And she wants jobs.
Karma, your resume has about 10 seconds to
make an impression.
Copy change.
And most don't get a resume that gets
results at ImageMakers Inc.
Dotcom.
Linda helps professionals and executives turn their experience
into a clear story of leadership, results and
impact.
That's ImageMakers Inc.
with a K and Linda Lou, duchess of
jobs and writer of winning resumes.
Welcome back, J.C.D. Jobs, jobs, jobs
and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
So we're just going to keep this train
rolling.
I'll go through the rest of our supporters.
Fifty dollars and above.
Of course, no agenda donations.
Dotcom is where you can continue to support
the show.

Thank you for supporting the Noah Agenda Show.
All of you, en masse, go to NoahAgendaRings
.com.
That's where you're going to see these beautiful
Noah Agenda Knight and Dame rings.
Give us your address where we can send
it to, please, along with your ring size.
There's a handy ring size guide on the
website, and thank you for supporting the Noah
Agenda Show.
Also, thank you to Noah Agenda Shop, who
have now started the Noah Agenda Sticker Club,
and I am an honorary member.
They sent my first batch to me.
Members receive two vinyl stickers every month, sized
from three to five inches.
This package includes versions of every single sticker
that they've mailed out so far in their
first two mailings, including the first 33-member
bonus sticker.
They started this monthly subscription program to help
keep the shop alive in their 10th year
and beyond.
Costs to maintain the shop have increased, and
releasing new apparel designs takes more time than
we currently have available.
Day job income has decreased dramatically, and long
-term employment is not looking good.
Keeping our actual lights on has become our
focus, our new focus for now, and yet
we still want to provide something fun for
the listeners to enjoy and give them a
reason to visit the shop.
Please go to NoahAgendaShop.com, help these folks
out.
They have supported the show for a decade.
I can't even believe it's that long.
I think longer.
I think longer, too.
We've never had- And by the way,
when you're at the Toll Plaza, and you've
stopped, and there's a cement thing right next
to you there, lower your window, reach out,
and stick a Noah Agenda sticker right there.
Perfect.
That's exactly what you want to do, and
become a member of that sticker promotion.
Help them out.
They're very good people.
We've never had any kind of agreement or
deal with them.
They've been a very trustworthy partner without an
actual partnership, and we love them for it.
And so should you.

I'm passing the phone around for our friends
to have to say something.
It's B.
Dizzle from Southern California, just checking in with
all my other fellow slaves.
ITM gentlemen, Sir Mainframe here.
First, thank you, Mimi.
You were awesome.
I'm waiting for the tell-all book to
come out.
John, welcome back.
You sounded great the other day.
You sounded younger and healthier.
As far as your next sick day, what
are the last words in the foreman project?
Oh, yeah, never.
Hi, this is Dame Laura of the Golden
Mean.
Came down to see the fabulous Leo Bravo
and friends, and I came down from Washington
State due to climate change.
I walked in and came down Washington State
to see the friends.
Hey, guys, this is Slick Rick, and there's
some asymmetrical drinking going on here.
John C.
Dvorak.
Dvorak, very good to have you back.
It's like you never left.
You were always there in spirit, and we
can always smell you, too.
The camera adds 10 pounds, so we're editing.
We're going to edit.
In the morning.
Oh, man, that's a good crew there in
Los Angeles.
I'm always surprised by how fun they sound.
And then, finally, the march meetup from the
indie group Indianapolis, Indiana with Sir Mark and
Dame Maria.
And, of course, they have a fabulous report
for us.
Sir Mark here next to the beautiful Dame
Maria.
Dame Maria here.
John, we're praying for you.
Get well fast.
Mimi, you are amazing.
Adam, thank you for everything you're doing.
We love you guys.
Hey, Gary here.
John, I know you want to tell us
about the hospital food, but really all we
want to hear about is the hot nurses
in the sponge bath.
Hi, it's Diane.
Get well soon, because you are missed.
Emily LaFette here.
Hey, can we just have John, Adam, and
Mimi together on the show?
Sir Benny here.
John, you and I are about the same
age, and you know what?
My balls are killing me, too.
Risky here.
On that point, I'll pass on that one.
Just drinking some beers here, though.
Nader from Indianapolis.
I'm still in shock by what Benny said
there.
This is Nick here.
I'm in shock that Dame Swanee's ringtone is
Nights in White Satin by Moody Blues.
Dame Swanee, Nights in White Satin.
Leave a message.
Hi, my name is Bailey.
I'm the server here at Blind Out Brewery.
It's serving the wonderful No Agenda group.
We've had so much fun today.
I'm very glad I finally got to meet
these guys.
Absolutely awesome group of people.
Long live Buzzkill!
Viva la Buzzkill!
I'm convinced now that servers at No Agenda
meetups are hot.
They all sound super hot.
You gotta check these meetups out by going
to one.
And you find them at noagendameetups.com and
we have one taking place today at the
Alibi Room.
In fact, underway in an hour or two.
And that is in Vancouver, British Columbia, Candanavia.
Get that flamma, get that liquid out.
Come on, you can do it.
A lot of meetups taking place on the
28th of March.
Coleyville, Texas.
Columbus, Ohio.
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Beachwood, Victoria.
That's Australia.
And Fukuoka, Kyushu.
We got a lot of Japanese, Japan meetups
coming up.
I like it.
I'm not sure why, but I like it.
Hey, we got some LNG coming your way,
people.
We're gonna take care of you.
April 2nd is Raleigh, North Carolina.
April 4th, Osaka, Japan.
April 11th is a big one, Eagle, Idaho.
Albany, California.
Do you think you're gonna make it, John?
Or is that maybe a little too soon?
I can't say.
Okay.
But we will say as the date comes
closer.
Lafayette, Louisiana.
And April 11th, also Fredericksburg, Texas.
Tina the Keeper and I will be there.
And a host of celebrities that you will
know.
I'm gonna see if I can get Pastor
Jimmy out there.
We'll get Matt Long.
He and his wife Gail are always organizing
it.
So it should be a good hootenanny at
J6 or Jenny's place.
16th of April, Charlotte, North Carolina.
April 25th, Scheveningen in the Netherlands.
Buda, Texas.
A new location, I think.
On May 8th, Leiden in the Netherlands.

9th, Eagle, Idaho again.
On May 9th, many more meetups to be
had and to be found at noagendameetups.com.
You will not regret going to one of
these.
It's not like TEDx.
No license or anything like that.
You just get together.
You put it on noagendameetups.com.
People come and you have a good time.
If you can't find one near you, start
one yourself.
It's easy and a party.
It's like a party.
Well, well.
Just like a party, we have John's tip
of the day coming up.
Which turns out is really Mimi's tip of
the day.
I'm convinced that Mimi does all of these.
I don't know if you actually...
Do you do any of them or is
it all Mimi?
How much of you is Mimi?
What?
So I would say that yes, this is
hers.
She said, can I do tip of the
day?
I said, sure.
We got to do ISOs first.
Wait, before...
No, tip of the day is mine.
I'm talking about the ISOs.
Now, I'm going to tell you something.
She says, I'm going to send you some.
I said, okay.
She sends me 12.
Of which 11 were no good.
11 were like this.
And so I picked one and I said
I picked one and she's very disappointed.
But I'll get back to the AI next
show or the show after.
Okay, shall I play yours first or mine?
Yeah, I might as well play mine.
I almost spit out my coffee.
Oh, it's a little cut off there at
the end.
That's disappointing.
I've got a couple here.
Good job, guys.
Thank you.
They kind of liked it.
They thought it was cool and I was
like, okay.
But maybe this is more up your alley.
Okay, cut me the checks.
How about that?
That's cute, but I like the first one
the best.
Good job, guys.
Thank you.
Oh, we'll use that one then.
But first, it is time.
He's back in the saddle.
It is John C.
Dvorak's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with JCD.
And sometimes I don't know.
Now this is a screwball tip.
So when you're in the hospital, you listen
to a lot of books on tape.
Is that what you do?
How about podcasts?
How about the best podcast in the universe?
Well, I would listen to that, but books
on tape go six hours one after another.
But I have to say, you wouldn't expect
this to be the one I was going
to pick.
It's called Elizabeth II, Life of a Monarch.
Wow.
I have to say, this was stuck on
the phone.
Jay was setting me up with some books
to listen to and somehow this got on
there.
I don't know.
Who gives a crap about Elizabeth?
But Jay insisted.
No, no, she didn't insist.
It just was on there.
And I couldn't get something else to play
or wouldn't download or you can't stream in
the hospital, whatever.
So I ended up starting to listen to
this thing.
Now see, the problem is if you go
to Amazon, the editor's pick, which is Elizabeth
the Queen, Life of a Modern Monarch is
an audiobook only.
And then there's Elizabeth II in private.
There's a bunch of different ones.
And the one that shows up on the
title here exactly is Elizabeth II, Life of
a Monarch.
So you may have to this may be
a hit or miss.
I'll tell you, it's fascinating.
Really?
It's absolutely fascinating.
It's like, what?
Every single, the little details, all these details
about when they were kids and what they
would wear and what they would throw at
each other and that Margaret, the younger one,
the sister was a biter.
Oh, she was nuts.
She was crazy.
And there was it talks about Charles, all
kinds of details that you wouldn't think were
interesting but it's absolutely fascinating.
Have you ever watched The Crown on Netflix?
No.
It's in essence the same monarch and what
always struck me, I don't know if this
is in the audiobook, is how obsessed the
entire family is with the press.
It's always about the press.
How did I come across?
You stole my thunder in the press.
Does that come across in the book?
It's a little bit of that, I'd say.
Those people are sad, don't you think?
Well, the thing that they mention in the
book Gruesome and wicked, I think.
Wretched.
Wretched was the word I think I used.
Well, Elizabeth seems like actually kind of a
nice person but they mention a documentary that
was done by I think the BBC.
That was Charles' deal.
He wanted to do a documentary of the
family.
Is this the one they buried?
No, eventually.
It aired once but then they couldn't stop
it and it came back and it's all
over the place.
There was a couple of them that were
done.
I think the recent one is the one
you're talking about but there was one done
a long time ago that they played it
and they just said, no, we can't have
the fact because it was mostly inside information.
So they go into their room.
In fact, when Elizabeth moved into Buckingham Palace
as a little nine-year-old or something
I can't remember when this first happened she
said they thought it was cool but the
place was crawling with mice.
Mice were everywhere and it was tattered.
Yeah.
As our president would say it was a
shithole.
Yeah.
That was in the crown as well.
The mice and everything was a mess.
Wow, that's an interesting tip.
So for those of you going in for
open heart surgery there's your tip of the
day.
Find them all at noagendafund.comtipoftheday.net Yes.
Yes.
Thank you, Dana Brunetti.
Where would we be without you?
And that concludes our broadcast day.
We have some dynamite end of show mixes.
Thank you to Jeff Crocker for his special
edition.
Coming up next on the No Agenda stream
we have our big dumb mouth OBDM.
They're talking about Chuck Norris on this one.
Stay tuned for that as it is going
to air next on the No Agenda stream
and we will be back on Thursday.
John, I'm so happy you're okay.
Happy you're alive.
Happy you're back.
We need to have some contingency plans.
I'm just saying.
It's a thought.
Passwords.
For a start.
Coming to you from the heart of the
Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas
where I'm happy to have my partner back
in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from North San Francisco Bay I'm John
C.
Dvorak.
We'll be back on Thursday.
Both of us.
Count on it.
Until then, remember us at noagendadonations.com.
Until then, adios mofos.
There's a hooey hooey and such.
A huge zephyr coming.
See if I can turn that to a
song.
I hear the zephyr coming.
It's coming.
It's coming, it's coming.
It's coming.
It's coming, It's coming.
Your call is important to us.
Please stay on the line, and the next
available agent will be with you shortly.
We appreciate your patience.
While you wait.
Why not lock in our two year PRICELOCK
legacy token guarantee?
At OpenAI, we believe intelligence should be a
basic human right, and like any right, it's

We are committed to making tokens too cheap
to meter.

OpenAI, because the future is a utility.
You are 400,000th in line for an
agent.
Your call is being transferred to an agent.
The old fox got a heart of gold,
or so the stories have been told.
But he pitched a red line, went too
far.
Now it's on the lift like an old
salvage car.
He's in the shop for a valve and
a gear, getting parts replaced for the coming
year.
Mimi wrote the book on the eggs in
the pan, a literary feat for the best
part of the man.
But Adam says no to the exit plan.
It's unacceptable according to the man.
You can't just bow out with a cracked
up chest while the too many eggs are
put to rest.
The old fox's heart is getting a start,
bolting back together every broken part.
Meanwhile, the producer's pitching to cover the show
while JCD recovers in his Silicon Valley chateau.
Welcome back.
JCD, you ain't checking now.
Welcome back to that same old place that
you grouse about.
M5M hasn't changed since you hung around.
And the trolls have remained, yeah, they're still
around.
Who the fuck, they need you.
Back here when they need you.
Yeah, we please them a lot, cause we
got them on the spot.
Welcome back.
The best podcast in the universe.

Good job guys.
Thank you.
