Maybe I should floss while Adam's giving his analysis. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore.
This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation media assassination episode 1861. This is no agenda. Counting the war crimes and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here.
Number six.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm sorry, the refinery row, where we assume nobody in America could find Iran on a map if they had to. I'm John C. Dvorak.
The Refinery Row. One of these days, you know, you'll just about get it and then it'll be time to move back. Yeah, I'll be done. Move back to the house. How you feeling, John? How you doing? I'm hanging in there. Yeah, I'm not good today.
Why?
You know, I went to, we drove to Bastrop, actually I didn't drive. We went to Bastrop yesterday to go visit my...
friend in the big house, in the slammer, in the pen.
And I don't know. Oh, the doctor. Yeah. And I don't know if it's five, you know, five hours. Maybe it was because it wasn't my car and the seat was weird. Or maybe some of the snacks I had from the prison food snacks. But it's like, and maybe it's both. I got like a real pain in my, the whole left side of my, like from my. You probably just got a, it's probably the seat.
Because, you know, I was also doing show prep while sitting there.
Takes it.
Hey, you know what, people? Going into the slammer is not a good idea. For your friends.
No, I'd say not. Yeah, well, we're hopeful.
Any news on the fluids?
The who? The fluids. The fluids. Yeah, the fluids are still coming. I'm going to have to, I might have.
to have another procedure to prevent this from continuing. Oh, no. It may be. In fact, it might result in a reprise of a Mimi show.
You're kidding me. Is this like, this is a new development? No, well, the development was always there. It's the...
when they were doing the process of fixing the heart, they ended up doing some, I don't know what they did wrong or right, but they ended up with collapsing a lung. Well, now that was your fault.
Yeah. And so. Come on, man. That was always your fault. And so it may have damaged. There was, you know, some lining or something. And so this thing's just, it's the right side. Well, wait a minute. So, wait a minute. First, they were telling you, oh, this is totally normal. This is what happens with this procedure. And now they're like, well, it wasn't that normal. And, you know. Something like that. I'm going to find out
You collapsed your lungs, your fault, because they're going to blame you. You know they're going to blame you. We'll see. Yeah. So what that means, what procedure would have to take place? I don't know. I talked to the guy, the expert on this, and it doesn't seem too complicated, but it might require one day in the hospital. Oh, man.
Okay, so you don't know what it is. They're going to do something, but you talk to the expert, but you don't know what he's doing. No, he knows what he's doing, but he's not the guy who takes care of the problem.
Well, that sucks. Yeah. I'm sorry. Well, why am I complaining?
I don't know. You like to complain. You're getting good at it. I rarely complain about anything. Anything at all. Well, you start by complaining about your back. That's what I mean. So why am I complaining? I need to stop that. That's no good compared to you.
Yeah.
Yeah, sorry. I'm sorry. Pete, you know, I am so surprised.
A people.
Uh, they send the most horrible notes to me, about you even. About what? What are they complaining about? Let me see if I can find it.
Uh.
Let me see. I don't know if I deleted it. Yeah, find a horrible note. That's where you start the show off. John should stop with the sympathy stuff and just produce the best podcast in the universe.
Stuff like that. You were back on the stick, on the metal stick within just two weeks of open heart surgery. Yeah. And they're like, oh man, stop using it. I didn't see the newsletter. Did you put something in the newsletter about how sad you are? No.
Well, then I wonder what they're moaning about. I think moaning about what we talk about on the show, what we just did.
My updates. Updates on my health. Well, I like the updates on your health. Everybody else can go pound sand. So here's one from Paul. And Paul Cassell, he's been listening for a long time.
And we're losing people. We're losing people to the podosphere. Listen to this. I'm disappointed in your narrow view. I'm not going to do the voice because I like this guy. He's always been, he's been a long-term, but he has been captured by the narrative. Listen to this. Oh, you know, this is a problem that we have. Yeah, it happens. But when it happens, I want to point it out. I'm disappointed in your narrow view of Trump's mental condition.
programming's already working. They're already convinced he's mental. True, he's not afflicted with age-related dementia like Biden, but that doesn't mean he's mentally fit.
Here we go. His lifelong narcissism has tipped from a productive neurotic to the dangerous psychotic. All it takes is a dispassionate evaluation of his letter to Norway on the Nobel.
and his depiction of himself as Jesus to see that. Well, okay, so right there. He didn't do that. You think he did the image? Well, that's the narrative. This is why people fall for it. He's forming policy based on personal PK rather than national benefit. What's that mean?
Like he's doing stuff to make himself look better or better. Personal, what's P-K? P-I-Q-U-E? P-K? I don't know. What do you think that is? Pronounced pick, I think. I have no idea what that would do. Hold on a second. What that means in this context. Let's see. What is the definition of the word spelled P-I-Q-U-E? That's the book of knowledge.
Oh, no.
This is great.
Your credit balance is too low. Please go to plans and billing to upgrade or purchase credits.
Well, there it is. There it is. And this, by the way, is where it's headed. We've used it three times. This is where the world is headed, man. This is it. Hey, you don't have enough tokens, man.
There'll be people on the street. Hey, brother, can you spare me some tokens? Can you give me a couple tokens? I just need some tokens. I just need five tokens, man, so I can talk to my chat GPT.
Oh, Rob, the constitutional lawyer, who I might point out, has co-written a dictionary.
Did you know that?
He says it means anger.
So who needs the robot when you've got Rob, the constitutional lawyer? Anyway, final paragraph here. There isn't any art in his deals.
All of the concessions he's managed stem from him using the military might of the U.S. as a threat to anyone who balks at his demands. In my opinion.
It's past time to call this guy out as the threat he is. Continue to defend him by making up fairy tales of how this is all four, five, six dimensional go or chess. I don't think we've ever used that term.
And why do people think we're defending him?
What is that?
I don't recall defending him. I'm critical. Has grown beyond stale and it's into the embarrassing. So... Beyond stale? Yeah. Our defending him and making up fairy tales of how this is all four or five or six dimensional go or chess. I don't think we've ever said that. Whatever.
But this is what happens. This is the narrative. And you know what? I feel bad for these people because this is only going to last two and a half more years. You will never, ever, ever have a president like this.
in your lifetime ever again. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. And yeah, by the time we get some nut job Democrat in the White House, we'll be back to exactly what you want. Be critical of everything. That's what they want.
They just want you to be critical. Critical of everything!
So...
Where do you want to start? I hand the microphone to you. Why don't you get started today? Well, since we have to deal with this back and forth and back and forth and open, closed, open, closed. You know, the way I'm looking at this is that the IRGC, what's the C stand for, by the way?
International Revolutionary Corps. Corps. C-O-R-P-E-S. Guard Corps.
I believe.
I think that they're all freelancing.
it's all bullcrap if you ask me every single bit of this whole thing is bullcrap
Well, I think that's because there's no leadership. I think the IRGC people in different areas, the different commanders, they've taken it upon themselves. Maybe they can become the leader. So they're going to shoot at a boat and they're going to say, yeah, we're not going along with this. We never agreed to this. It's this and that. I mean, the whole thing is discombobulated, to say the least.
So let's play the kind of a roundup clip here. Here's the simple Iran-Lebanon update from NPR.
Iran has reversed its decision and is again imposing restrictions on ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. British officials say three commercial vessels came under fire today. They say the attacks caused damage, but no fires or casualties. It's day two of a 10-day ceasefire to pause the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The agreement seems to be holding amid several incidents of violence, but many in Lebanon are not convinced.
it will lead to lasting peace. NPR's Kat Lonsdorf reports from Beirut. 46-year-old Abir Mohammed Al-Masri has been living in a tent in a parking lot with her six kids for nearly seven weeks. She says she'd much rather be in their apartment in the southern suburbs, but...
I don't trust a ceasefire, she said. It's more of a truce than a ceasefire. We can't go home yet. Many of the more than one million people displaced in Lebanon during this war have headed back to the south, where much of the fighting was happening, despite warnings not to. But Israel is still occupying about 10 percent of the country after destroying whole villages to create what it calls a buffer zone to keep Hezbollah from firing rockets into Israel.
Lebanese people from those villages cannot return. Yeah, okay, I have a problem with all of this. None of this makes sense.
Okay, so they close the Straits of Hormuz. What does that mean to you? We've closed the Straits of Hormuz?
What does that mean?
Apparently they had some little boats running around and therefore no one wants to go through again. Is that what that is? Well, that and the threat that if a ship tries to pass, they'll send a drone or a missile at it. Yeah, okay. But let's listen to what actually happened. It was an Indian ship and funny enough.
Of all the video we have in the entire universe, we have zero evidence of this Indian ship being fired upon. We have a radio message. In fact, this is the Al Jazeera version.
A ceasefire may be in place, but in the Strait of Hormuz, the confrontation continues. Here, Iran and the United States are still engaging directly, not through airstrikes, but through control, pressure, and daily encounters at sea. Iran has reimposed strict...
controls over the waterway. It says
The limits on shipping are in retaliation to the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports and accuse the U.S. of breaching its commitments. The strait is a strait under the full and intelligent control of the Islamic Republic of Iran. At any time, according to circumstances, it will make use of this strait. The Americans must accept that this is not a place for bullying, not a place for arrogance.
At least two commercial vessels reported coming under fire when they attempted to cross on Saturday, according to maritime security sources. Maritime security sources, whoever that is. Iranian Navy, this is Agha Lakshmi. Go ahead, sir. I read you loud and clear. All right, so.
that all you hear is this is the iranian navy turn around but who what was this ship what was on it and what direction were they headed you'll be surprised
us understand that there were the Iranians shot at two Indian flagged vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. What happened? Those are the last two ships that tried to get through the Strait. As of this morning, we're seeing no traffic move through. So you can see one of the Iranian Indian tankers as it moved up trying to go through the Strait. So this is Iranian oil that the Indian tanker just bought and they get up.
From Iran. From Iran, and they get told to turn around. So the tanker captain said, hey, what the heck? It's your oil that I just bought from you. So this was... How does this make any sense? So the IRGC is saying, you who are trying to sell our Iranian oil that we just sold to you, turn around and go back to our port. What is that?
Well, that makes zero sense. Cuz this whole thing is bull crap. The last attempt, but you'll notice the track that it was on, John. The Iranians have been pushing the normal track out of the Gulf through these two islands here because they're-
They're tolling. They're charging up to $2 million. Oh, you didn't go through the toll gate. That's what it is. Okay, that's not the same as the strait is closed and they're being fired upon. It's per ship to go through this. This is something that the Iranians want to continue to do, but it's a U.S. red line. No tolling, freedom of movement. That's going to be the red line that the U.S. still has to resolve
who started shooting at them. Anyway, what is it going to take to open the Strait of Hormuz for shippers to be confident that they can go through? A couple of things have to happen. One, these small boats that we saw attacking the Indian freighters yesterday have to stop their attack. So the Iranians still have... And now just in the same one and a half minute, he's like, well, they got to stop attacking them. There was no attack. They radioed them to...
Turn around and go back. And now it's an attack on this ship.
Colonel Ganyard. They can go through. A couple things have to happen. One, these small boats that we saw attack.
the Indian freighters yesterday have to stop their attack. So the Iranians still have hundreds of small boats, some of them in caves, that they can attack shipping within the shipping lane. So if they do that, the insurance companies that are insuring all these tankers back here are going to say, you're not moving until we know that you're not going to get attacked. And these lines were saying, this is what it looks like in a normal. This is what is normal. This is the normal just north of Iran. This
This is the track that has been pushing up so that the Iranians can toll. I mean, come on.
And he says the magic word, insurance. I'll hold off on that. I'm sure you have more clips. I just wanted to point out. Well, you know, the other thing is, is that it seems to me the Iranians should, if you're buying their oil. Yeah.
You should get through without having to pay a toll.
It's like, you know, marketing. Well, I think it's because, I don't know.
I guess they're getting money, but they can't send the money anywhere because of...
Operation Economic Fury. Gay General Patton on the case. You can't send your money anywhere, so we need it in cash. Cash, man. I guess I got a couple Scott Simon clips.
But do you want to do that right now? The best part of this is ceasefire analysis. Suffering succotash. There we go. I'm with you. I'm with you. Simon. All right. I'm with you. Ceasefire analysis. Ceasefire.
Yes. I got it. Good morning, Scott. Good morning. Let's begin with the strait. Yeah, it's been real whiplash. Yesterday, with the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, Iran then announced it would open the strait to commercial traffic for the duration of that ceasefire, but only along this prescribed route close to the Iranian coast.
But then the U.S. said it would maintain its blockade of Iranian ports while those peace talks continue. So perhaps in response today, Iran's...
military said, no, the Strait remains closed until the U.S. lifts its blockade of Iran. So it's been a confusing, what, 24 hours with a lot of questions left about is the Strait apparently reclosed or never really open to shipping. And so where does that put the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran? Well, officially, it's set to expire on Tuesday, April 21st. There's talk of extending
that deadline. One source on Capitol Hill, who's not authorized to speak publicly, told NPR that he's hearing at least the Pakistanis who are hosting these talks want to extend them. President Trump has said that a deal with Iran is very close. And yesterday he told reporters, quote, I think it's going to happen. As you say, Pakistan's mediating.
the talks. Vice President Vance was in Islamabad last weekend but did not seemingly make much progress. So what's the next step? The next step could be direct talks.
between the U.S. and Iran, most likely there in Pakistan. And President Trump told reporters that if there's a deal, he might even go there and show up in person. But, of course, that was before the news that Iran has closed the strait. At this point, the deal seems probably to hinge on a pause in Iran's nuclear enrichment program. The administration wants a 20-year pause while Iran is talking about...
the five-year pause.
They're talking about a pause. Yeah, for the nuclear dust.
So that's a point of negotiation. So they changed it from the end, you can't do nothing, to a pause. A pause, yes. This is what Obama did, by the way. That's exactly what he did.
Okay, let's go to part two. So there'll be some haggling over that timeline. We spoke to one analyst who said...
Yes, of course, a deal is better than war, but without any details, it's hard to say. For example, will there be international inspectors who will go in to see if Iran is just maintaining a peaceful nuclear infrastructure, not a weapons program? Will the U.S. unfreeze billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets? Those were all factors in a deal forged.
during the Obama administration that President Trump scrapped in his first term. He called it a bad deal. The unfreezing of these assets is something the Iranians apparently are insisting on this time. But we don't know to what extent President Trump will essentially rebuild the JCPOA. That was the deal that was hammered out into the Obama administration. And give us more details, please, on the deal in Lebanon. Yes, it's also a...
A 10-day ceasefire. But the most important distinction is that Israel may have made a peace deal with a Lebanese government. It's not clear they've made a peace deal.
with Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite militia army that operates in southern Lebanon and who's essentially the entity that was at war with Israel. So that militant group has said it won't accept any deal. President Trump has urged them to, quote, act nicely. Hezbollah says Israel can't have any freedom of movement in Lebanon, but Israeli forces are in southern Lebanon right now.
They're there to prevent Hezbollah from firing rockets and missiles into Israel. And meanwhile, there's a huge buildup of U.S. forces in the region. One U.S. carrier group actually took the ancient route around the length of Africa instead of going through the Suez Canal to get there, which I think tells you a lot about the current state of safety of navigation in the region. And Parasquad Lawrence, thanks so much.
And who was that guy? Who was that? What was it? What were his bona fides? Yeah. I don't know. He's no goodness. Let me go back to the colonel.
Because the colonel has a very different view of things. And all I can hear the colonel think is, yeah, longer. We got more stuff to do. Once they get the fast boats stopped, don't attack us anymore. And how hard can it be for us to blow some of these fast boats out of the water? Did we not see 15 multi-engine outboard drug boats getting blown out of the water?
Did we not see that? Yeah, we just need a satellite.
Targeting a satellite. Blow these guys out of the water. Now this is a problem?
Nah, this, there's a scam afoot here. Once they get the fast boats stopped, don't attack us anymore. There's the other question of mines. Apparently, the Iranians have lost track of where the mines are that they put in the water. Hey, hey, Chooch, man, where'd you put the?
I don't know. I dropped it over here. I don't know. So the U.S. Navy, after the shootings... We can pick up the heartbeat.
of a guy in the mountains who ejected out of an airplane.
But now we can't see or find the minds in the Straits of Hormuz?
We have the discombobulator that made people bleed from their eyeballs.
When he went in to get Chavez.
But we can't find these mines. Okay. Maduro. Maduro. I'm sorry. Thank you. Maduro. But we can't find the mines. And it's very sophisticated. Demining equipment. Think underwater drones. Still untested in combat. To get all that kit in, it'll be about a week. How have we...
Still untested in combat? Oh, this is a sales demo.
That's what's going on here. Oh, yeah, still untested, but luckily. So, okay. It's very sophisticated demining equipment. Think underwater drones. Still untested in combat. To get all that kit in, it'll be about a week. Then to...
clear these lanes about a week outbound, a week inbound, that's three weeks. If they find any mines at all, you can double that timeline. So even if we get everything, if he breaks out today. Why would you double it? Because he's a sales guy. If you found one mine, you're going to double the time. What? You found the mine. So why does it go from three weeks to six weeks?
I just love the fact that we don't know where they are. We don't know.
come on it's going to be weeks if not months before this mess months months months i tell you buy more of our untested stuff meanwhile there's this u.s embargo stopping all iranian tips from getting out explain how that works indeed so if you take a line here from the pakistan iran border down to this point of land in oman this is where the u.s is running this blockade we've got about 20
ships in the region. We could probably do it with about half of that. So they're getting help from aircraft, from satellites.
tracking all these ships that are trying to or going up to the line here. So we can do this indefinitely. The thing that's most interesting is that there are reports out there now saying that the US will board and seize any Iranian oil anywhere in the world. 90% of the Iranian oil goes to China. So if we board a ship, it will most likely be Chinese oil just weeks before President Trump is supposed to meet with Xi Jinping in Beijing.
So here's what I think. I think this ship has got the Iranian oil. It's boopity-boop. It's toodling along. The IRGC says, yo, dude, turn around. Turn around, because they're going to board you. They're going to take this oil. It's meant for China. Turn around. It's not safe.
That's an interesting thesis. Well, what else could it be? Other than the only thing that is closing the straits of hormones, and I'm very disappointed in Scott Besson's because he has not stepped up to the plate, is the insurance. And I did a deep dive.
On this insurance stuff, this is hilarious. So this is, who is this lady? She's Catherine Runavira.
Uh, and she is, this is a short clip. She's looking at all this stuff. But here's what matters. Lloyd's of London war risk premiums went from 0.2% of vessel value per transit to about 1%. That's a five fold increase.
Vessel charter rates hit half a million dollars per day.
Insurers won't cover transit without military escort. So this is a security issue. And that's the big constraint. So when Lloyd's normalizes, the crisis ends. Not before.
So watch Lloyd's War Risk Premiums, not Brent Crude Prices.
Oil price doesn't determine whether flows resume. Insurance.
us. So right now, roughly a quarter to a third of global seaborne fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
We're talking nitrogen, ammonia, potash. Potash. All of that is halting. Potash, baby. But the real commercial question is pretty much similar.
can you insure the cargo? So the VLCCs, which are very large crude carriers, their charter rate at $500,000 per day means the daily cost to move oil has increased roughly five to 10 times normal rates. War risk premiums at 1% mean on a $100 million cargo,
You're paying a million dollars just for the insurance.
All right, so this was all supposed to be taken care of with the American insurance scheme, and Trump was going to take care of it. I don't think this idea of...
insurance prices spiking is any kind of a nefarious IRGC plot. They aren't that clever. I've served in that region 20 years, ma'am. I know these jokers. Sorry, these gentlemen, these people. So I don't think this is any part of any kind of devious plot. It just so happens that the Western insurers panic whenever there is something there and hike their price. Everybody wants to make money out of this issue.
Second to none. My own feeling is that if prices hike, Donald Trump is going to ask his own insurance companies that you start providing coverage at lower rates. And then you emasculate the traditional Lloyd's register and all these other characters. You drive them out of business. American companies take over. He's quite capable of doing this. And I believe this is what is in his mind at this time. Yeah, that was what we heard.
But the DFC, apparently $40 billion program to reinsure these ships, give them hull and cargo insurance. I mean, I've...
I've looked at all the websites, you know, Chubb and all the Beasley, all these guys, all they got is an email, like a Gmail address. Hey, if you want insurance, send an email to our Gmail. So this thing is non-existent. But when you look at how the Lloyd's rates are determined, it gets interesting. They've been sitting there since the Iranian military made threats. But there's another factor, not just their security, their insurance status.
The Lloyds market has something called a joint war committee, which assesses what it calls war-related perils for shipping. And they have expanded the area of what they consider to be high risk in the last few days to include Kuwait, Qatar, a wider area of the Gulf. And that simply means the insurance those ships set out with may no longer apply. So they insist they are insured, but they're having to reassess the risk.
Re-insurance will come in due course and then owners can decide whether to move their ships. For now, they are static and traffic through the Straits of Hormuz has...
What's going up is the cost, not just of shipping, but almost certainly the cost of insuring these vessels. Premiums will rise. There is an offer from Donald Trump made via social media that an American financial institution will offer insurance. But here, they don't know what that means. The detail of such a scheme hasn't been given to anyone so far as we know. And it will take time to work it out. And the appetite is unknown.
Okay, so it's the Joint War Committee that sits in London and determines if it's worth the risk. So it's hard to find out exactly who this is. They have 15 underwriters, unnamed, but they're advised by Herminius, a private intelligence firm.
The chairman of that is General Sir Patrick Sanders, the former head of the British Army. He retired in 2024. The president of this is Dominic Armstrong, Aegis Defense Services, $400 million a year private military contractor.
Nick Buzzvine, officer of the British Empire, 28, 29 years in the UK Foreign Office, Baghdad, Chief of Staff, EU counter-piracy. But the way it works is this. The UK Maritime Transit Office posts on X and says, oh, it looks like someone's firing on the ships.
Then Herminius goes, well, boy, it's dangerous over there. The Joint War Committee, we're going to list that area. Lloyd reprices, the ships stop, gas prices rise, and just rinse and repeat.
So Trump and Besant, they've got to get this insurance thing going. Otherwise, this is a never-ending story. And it was promised, and I'm not seeing it.
So that's what closes the Straits of Hormuz, not some bogus, we're firing on our own oil tanker.
This whole thing stinks.
It does stink. It's no good.
It's no good. Well, how is he going to get out of it is the issue. There's nothing to get out of. He doesn't need to get out of anything. He needs to provide the Iranian. The way I understand it, we are.
Blocking anyone who wants to go to Iranian ports. But if you want to go to UAE or Saudi Arabia, that's no problem. And that seems to be working fine.
But when you get the insurance rate so high, nobody wants to do it because, you know, you have to have oil over $100 to be able to really make the economics work of the insurance. And even if these tolls are true or not, I don't know. So the way to get out of it is to get the insurance thing going.
If they can get that and then escort them, it's done. I don't believe these mines are there. That sounds pretty iffy. We forgot where we put them. Okay.
Well, that sounds sophisticated. And these fast boats.
Oh yeah, alright, we can't blow those out of the water.
Now, I think this is economic, what is it, Operation Economic Fury, and they're behind the eight ball. And it's possible that nobody wants to do it. Like, eh, we don't like it. Or screw you, Trump, screw you, Besson. I don't know. But that's the only thing that has to happen. There's no danger, as far as I can tell, for any ships.
Well, we'll find out within the next week or two when they're testing the mine capabilities of the... Of the untested mine sweeper. Don't they just have one of those ships with a big arm in the front and those chains on it? Yeah, what happened to the old mine sweepers? Why won't they use those? Do you remember Petticoat Junction? And then there'd be like a mine in the water and it'd be a big metal ball with spikes on it.
Petticoat Junction? Yeah. No. Do you remember Petticoat Junction? Yeah, the three girls in the water tank.
No, Petticoat Junction was the pink submarine.
No, no, no. Yes, it was. Operation Petticoat, maybe. What was the TV series with the pink submarine from the 70s? Okay, I think I got them working again. Yes, I bought some credits. Let's see what that was. Book of Knowledge. Oh, boy.
You're burning credits. Here we go. According to the Book of Knowledge, the television series was Operation Petticoat, which aired on ABC from September 17, 1977 until October 16, 1978, and featured a submarine that was painted pink after being forced to flee during a surprise attack before the repainting was complete, creating the adventures of the pink.
submarine with a gaggle of young women on board. There you go. Half right. Thus, it has been written. It wasn't even close. Well, you had the women. Well, the half part was the word petticoat. And pink.
All right. Operation Petticoat. Invariably, on every other episode of the show, there would be a mine floating right by the submarine, and it would be floating in the ocean with big spikes on it. So what kind of mines are they now? And we can't find them. Well, they're magnetic. Yeah, well.
But as far as I'm concerned, Trump is right. Oh, I can just hear everyone going.
New York's apologizing for Trump again. No, I'm defending him. I'm defending him for his 6D go and chess. Six dimensional chess, yeah. Well, let's play these clips to get these out of the way. This is the NPR morning edition, U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which discusses some elements we didn't discuss.
What more can you tell us about the state of the blockade? It's almost like there are two blockades as, you know, Iran controls the straight until some U.S. or European or
Asian minesweepers can clear it and possibly escort ships safely through.
And then for its turn, the U.S. is blocking ships from exiting or entering Iranian ports and strangling Iran's economy. Right, exactly. Blockades are an act of war, but in this case, they may be just part of pressure in these negotiations with Iran. And yesterday at the Pentagon's news briefing, maybe this was aimed to do the same, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the blockade is the polite way things can go. And then he mentioned the...
other way, which would be bombing Iran's civilian infrastructure, power grids, which could certainly be a war crime. But the president and Hegseth have mentioned it repeatedly in great detail. It's a war crime. He's going for war crimes. 25th Amendment is ass.
Right, 25th of November is the day.
The documents you can't do as war crimes, war crimes. Can't do it. Can't do it.
Ooh. I'm getting there. All right. That's pretty good. All right, Dvorak, what you got?
Part two. Regardless, does this bode well for negotiations and a continued ceasefire?
The U.S. is still building up forces in the Gulf. One carrier group, the Ford, has now broken the record for the longest rotation since Vietnam, with nearly 10 months at sea. And there are more troops underway to the region. But President Trump has said several times he thinks these negotiations are working, that it won't be necessary even to extend the ceasefire with Iran that ends next week.
And it may help that Israel and Lebanon, those two countries have announced a 10-day ceasefire. For Israel, Lebanon was always the second front in their war with Iran. And it's important to note that their war is really with the Iranian-backed Shiite militia, Hezbollah. That was the shooting war with Israel. Though to millions of Lebanese civilians caught in that shelling, they might not really care about that distinction.
But that was the objection from Iran, that that war had continued. And when the U.S. agreed to a ceasefire, Israel kept on shelling.
This could help with the U.S.-Iranian ceasefire. Oh, yeah. This is an important sidetrack. And after your final clip in this series, I want to get to the Lebanon thing.
Okay, play it.
Now, one thing that really struck me from many of Hegseth's comments on the war was the overtly religious nature of his remarks. Can you say more about that? At these defense briefings throughout the course of this war, Hegseth has frequently quoted scripture and specifically talked about Jesus Christ. Yesterday, he directly compared the U.S. media's negative coverage of the war with the...
Pharisees in the New Testament. I missed that. I need that clip, people. Persecuting Jesus. And I'm not around. I have not. Was he saying the media is like the Pharisees? That's interesting. Yeah. I love that. With the Pharisees in the New Testament persecuting Jesus. And I'm not paraphrasing. That's exactly what he said. I sat there in church and I thought.
Our press are just like these Pharisees. Oh, there it is. Not all of you. Not all of you. But the legacy Trump-hating press. And this is just after President Trump got significant pushback from his own supporters for appearing to compare himself to Jesus. There we go.
Unlike any secretary of defense in memory, Hegseth routinely talks in these religious terms. And considering that he oversees the Department of Defense, these are terms that might alienate hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops who are Catholic or Jewish or Muslim. But it happens at almost every speech.
Why? Oh, no. He's offending people. Why would it offend a Catholic? No, there's no reason for it to offend the Catholics. Why would it offend a Jew? It wouldn't. In fact, it's straight from the Talmud.
I don't even know why I would offend a Muslim, to be honest about it. The whole thing is. It might be corny or something.
Now, it's ridiculous. You might question, you know, what's the point, but honestly, I'm not defending anybody. This is... I'm not going to fight now. This is just another attack vector for the midterms. Oh, Christians, Trump is not your guy. He thinks he's Jesus.
That's what this is. And that image, the whole thing that was, and it was tricky. That was actually an AI thing that got legs and fooled a lot of people.
A lot of people I know. They're going to be fooled. Because there were so many different versions of it by the time it went viral. Who did fool? I mean, what would you mean by fool? Oh, there were a lot of Christians I know who were like, why is he depicting himself as Jesus?
That's, they were fooled into thinking that. Well, that's a question, isn't it? How were they fooled?
Be wealth.
Because that was not his original image.
They got versions that were not the original image.
Does that not make sense to you, what I'm saying? No, not really.
So.
If the... There's a bunch of different images and...
Yeah, and so everybody thought – I saw the one that he retweeted. It looked pretty much like –
You know, look like a Jesus image to me. Ah, weak. No, it didn't. It didn't at all.
He's got glowing hands and he's healing somebody. He's raising someone from the dead. Okay. Well, then you fell for the narrative. I didn't see that. I didn't fall for anything. Did you see the jets and the helicopters and the hellfire in the back? Yeah, I saw all that. It was all in the background. And that fits with Jesus for you?
No, I'm saying the picture of him with the glowing hands and raising someone from the dead, the rest of it was just, you know, just decorative.
Okay, well. I didn't care one way or the other. I just thought it was funny. Yeah, exactly.
Well, I wasn't fooled.
Well, you're not a Christian.
I'm not a Christian. I don't know about that. I'm not like a born again is what you're saying. I'm not an evangelical. No. That's for sure.
But I wasn't fooled by that image. I mean, it was just another Trump escapade. Let me put it this way. Were you fooled into, you weren't fooled because you didn't take any offense to it?
You weren't told to take offense to it because he's Jesus.
I just thought it was mildly humorous. Exactly. Not even mildly on the less mildly side. Exactly. But it wasn't hilarious. Right. But the fooling part is social media and the media telling everybody to get upset about Trump's pretending to be Jesus.
I mean, yeah, this just shows he's insane. Yeah, and there it is. Okay, that's the point.
Now let's go to someone who's really insane. Rohana.
Rokahana.
who showed up this morning on ABC. We're joined now by Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna of California. Thank you for being here. Always good to be here. So I know you've obviously been adamantly opposed to this war in the first place. What do you make of this latest development, though, another round of peace talks? Well, they said they want to... By the way, the troll room actually had a very good point. Someone just posted...
Obama as Jesus that the Democrats all love. Oh, yeah. No, there was a ton of those. There's a whole bunch of those. And now there's a whole collection of Obama as Jesus. And that was OK.
That was okay. That was okay. All right. Well, they said they want to escalate to de-escalate. They've escalated to devastation. I mean, you have the Pope lecturing America. What the hell did he say? Okay, he's trying to ro-con-a-ha-na-ha-na. Rohana.
is trying to tell everybody to vote Democrat in the midterms. That's the only reason he's here. And he's now saying it is so bad.
It is so bad in America that the Pope is telling us it's so bad. Escalate to de-escalate. They've escalated to devastation. I mean, you have the Pope lecturing America about possible war crimes. You have the president, as you point out. At no point did I see the Trump, the Pope lecture America about war crimes.
I didn't see that. So anyway, this is. No, he just said his normal war is bad and you guys are assholes. Yes. Commentary. So what? That's what you do. Threatening to destroy all power plants. I didn't think we would ever get to that point. You have the Strait of Hormuz that is now blocked. This never happened before the war. What have we achieved? Gas is up from $2.30 to $4. You have now Iran.
having a more hardline regime as we just heard.
all our allies, like UAE, being hit. I mean, we've created devastation and we're being lectured by the Pope. Let me ask you, you've called the war. Hold on a second. You know, Ro Khanna, he's part of the squad, you know that.
Yes, you've told us. He's actually the male member of the squad. Yes. Yeah, they're all a bunch of atheists. Yeah, yeah, so exactly. Yeah, and so they're talking about the Pope. You know, I don't like hearing a bunch of atheists. All of a sudden, now the Pope's a big shot.
Go on. Make them get on board one way or the other. But the whole point is, hello, Christians, vote Democrat. That's the point. You've called the war, I think I'm correct, the biggest blunder in American foreign policy in the 21st century.
If this gets to a resolution, I mean, if they actually, and I know that's a big if, but if they actually get to a resolution where Iran has given up its nuclear program.
And there is a peace deal, maybe even a peace deal with Lebanon. Are you prepared to revise that and say that they actually got something out of it and it wasn't a blunder? If we actually achieve something, but the enriched uranium is still there.
We have a more hardline regime there. Tom and Nate Jr. actually wants to develop nuclear weapons. Does anyone believe that we actually have more leverage of the Strait of Hormuz? We have less. China has more influence in Iran. And we've lost our entire moral credibility. We have a president of the United States threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization. And people think it's normal? Okay, so now we're back to kind of he's demented.
But this is where it got interesting. And this is about Israel. Let me ask you about Israel. You were one of 40, 40. I mean, you're not in the Senate, but there were 40 Senate Democrats who voted to halt the sale of military equipment to Israel. Something you agreed with clearly. Is the Democratic Party no longer a pro-Israeli party?
Thank you.
We're a party that believes in two states and peace. But let me tell you what we're not for. We're not for aid to Israel. They've got a 45 billion defense budget. Why are we giving them money? Why aren't we providing it for health care here? Why aren't we providing it for child care here? By the way, that's not just a issue on the Democratic Party. You look at Republican voters under 50. They agree with me. And then you look at what the devastation was in Gaza.
which, by the way, the UAE foreign minister has supported of two states. You have a Palestinian state, which is demilitarized, and an Israeli state. That's what we are for. We should be for peace, and we should be for justice in that region. Okay, I thought this was interesting because first he throws out a number which I wasn't aware of, $45 billion defense budget. As far as I know, the U.S. government gives 3.8 billion.
billion annually to Israel and they have to use it to buy American gear. Right, so it comes right back to us. Right, that's about three weeks of SNAP benefits.
put into perspective. But what's interesting is that the left and the right are now converging on this one topic of Israel. And I don't know if you, I'm not going to play the whole thing because it's, you know, two minutes and 45 seconds, but it's this kind of super cut back and forth between your boy Fuentes.
Nick Fuentes and Anna Kasparian from Young Turks. But this says it all. This is exactly what's happening with young people in America across the political spectrum. The question is, where will they find a home if they even care? Our country is under a hostile occupation.
Israeli occupation of the United States government. Israel controls our government. Israel controls our government. Control and influence and manipulate our system. Ruled and controlled and manipulated by the nation state of Israel. They are vampires. They suck.
They suck our blood. They suck the life out of this country. We can not be slaves to Israel. I'm not a slave to Israel. Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear arsenal. The supreme leader of Iran.
Emulgated a fatwa. He had put out a fatwa against nuclear weapons. We had to join Israel's war of choice. A war of choice. That's what this is. The real threat to America is from Israel. Our alliance with Israel as an existential threat to the United States. They will nuke the entire world. Israel is the biggest threat to world peace. Let us never forget who.
the real enemy is. The enemy is Israel. We need to decouple from this country. We need to decouple. How does this happen, John?
This is, well, I have to get, you know, I have that clip too. I didn't post it.
But you should have played the whole thing. It's hilarious.
It's almost as though either she listens to him or I mean, whoever put that together, my hat's off.
That is a beautiful supercut of the extreme right, which is Fuentes, you know, complete right. I mean, he's America's first extreme right winger and extreme left and a Kasparian. And they're saying the exact same thing about one topic. And it's phenomenal. It's it's I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.
And I know where this winds up. I mean, death to Jews. I mean, that's where this always winds up. This is not new. You know, we've seen this for 2,000 years or more. But Ro Khanna comes back and he throws in a little bit more of that bogus New York Times article, which is based on...
Zero evidence. But that seemed to be a big moment to see the vast majority of Democrats in the Senate say no more military sales right now to Israel. Well, what they said is no more bulldozers. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. Let's let them buy from the Russians. Yeah, that's... Or the Chinese.
That's a good idea. Yeah, let him buy from the Russians and the Chinese. That's a better idea. Screw Lockheed. No more military sales right now to Israel.
Well, what they said is no more bulldozers that are destroying Palestinian villages. No more bulldozers. Are they buying bull? Is John Deere doing business in Israel? Caterpillar. It's unjust. I mean, the young people in this country, when I met Netanyahu years ago, I said to him, Mr. Prime Minister, you may have won the battle. You've lost the war because you've lost the next generation in America. We don't think you're acting morally.
We have a sense that people in Palestine, they deserve justice, they deserve a state. And yes, we need to have a secure Israel, but not an Israel led by Netanyahu.
killed 70,000 people in Gaza, not in Israel that is going to be raining bombs in Beirut and not a prime minister sitting in our situation room. Let me tell you what a democratic- I love this because, you know, this again, no pictures, no evidence. This was a New York Times article that came out of the blue that says Netanyahu was sitting at the head of the table and Trump was just licking his heels. He was just subservient to him.
No. Not in Israel that is going to be raining bombs in Beirut and not a prime minister sitting in our situation room. Let me tell you what a democratic president's never gonna do. An Israeli prime minister is not gonna be sitting in our situation room telling the American president what to do. Only Americans will be in that situation room. You went further than even most of your democratic colleagues. You called for a stop.
A lot of funding for defensive weapons to Iran, including Iron Dome. Iran? Which is something you had supported. Remember, you and I spoke about it on this show not all that long ago.
something that protected not just Israelis but also Palestinians. I am for the Iron Dome technology. I'm glad UAE has it. I'm glad Israel has it. You don't think that we should give it to Israel? Why? Why can't they afford it with $45 billion? Even Rahm Emanuel agrees with me. I mean, why are we subsidizing one of the- Even a Jew, Rahm Emanuel agrees with me. It's the Jews. Jews, it's got to be right.
Richest countries in the world. They have health care for all their people. Why aren't we putting that money in our communities for our jobs? Do I want them to have Iron Dome? Absolutely. I want any country to have Iron Dome to protect their citizens. But the free ride is over. They're not going to be getting American tax dollars, and they're certainly not going to be dictating to the American president. The American president will call the shot. Yeah, I'll just put it into perspective again.
3.8 billion dollars is almost a rounding error with the debt that we have so but
Against better judgment and I think a rule, I do want to play 47 seconds of Susan Kokinda because she summed it up very nicely.
With Iran gone, with the threat gone, it is actually going to get rid of Netanyahu, which I think everybody agrees that guy is a douche and a problem. And I don't think anyone is defending Netanyahu. But it's over for him. Now let's turn to Israel. And this is the part that makes the Tucker-Candace analysis collapse entirely.
They looked at Trump bombing Iran and said he's doing Netanyahu's bidding. Well, here's what that misses. Netanyahu needed Iran. A permanent Iranian threat was the justification for a permanent emergency government. It kept the secular Palestinian Authority weak. It kept the two-state solution buried. And it kept Likud in power.
Before October 7th, Netanyahu's government actually funded Hamas through Qatar, precisely because they didn't want a governing secular Palestinian partner.
They wanted to keep the threat alive and keep the game in play. Trump did not do Netanyahu's bidding.
He took Netanyahu's leverage away. Those are opposite things. Yeah, exactly.
So Netanyahu will be out soon enough. That's why Trump is just trying to be nice. And I give the guy a pardon.
He's not going to get a pardon.
He's toast.
So.
What are you doing? Are you flossing your teeth? Oh, I'm sorry. Are you flossing? Are you flossing on this show? There will be no flossing on this show. I'm sorry. You were, weren't you? Was it one of those mouth harp things? Yeah, I just saw it laying there. I said, maybe I should floss while Adam's giving his analysis. This is a floss-free zone.
Okay. Busted.
You're funny. You're funny. All right, let's go to some other topic. Yeah, good idea. What you got? Well, I got a couple of screwball things I want to get out of the way. This one, this Canadian stuff, this maid thing is getting on everyone's nerves. Oh, like.
Like kill you? They're killing people off left and right. Some woman goes in with a broken leg and they give her, they execute her.
You're basically executing people in Canada left and right to save money.
Millions are sold this idea that medical assistance and dying acronym MADE is all about compassion and choice. But the more stories that come out, the clearer it becomes. This isn't compassion. It's coercion disguised as health care. And with an aging boomer population, the government has stopped hiding the real motive. This is state-sanctioned euthanasia designed to reduce burden and save millions in health care costs. Seniors showing up for...
back pain are being offered lethal injections in the emergency room. Families are watching their loved ones get steered toward death instead of real care. And the system is literally falsifying death certificates to hide the real toll. Today, I'm pulling the most powerful comments from my conversation with Amanda Achtman, founder of Dying to Meet You and
ethics director for Canadian Physicians for Life because her frontline work exposing this nightmare needs to be heard.
This is how Canada went from exceptional circumstances to one in 20 deaths by lethal injection. Let's hear it from Amanda, just how tragic the normalization of euthanasia has become. It is really devastating because personally, I am hearing from seniors constantly about how they are being met with suggestions of death.
rather than offers of health care. And I travel across Canada. Most recently, I was... Wait a minute. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Killing people is considered health care in the modern parlance.
Abortion is known as women's health care.
Yeah. So I think killing people is fair to say that's health care. Yeah, this is typical, by the way. This is the, you know, liberals have always been trying to kill.
The population.
And this is like, okay, we got a bunch of olds. We got a bunch of boomers. And it's costing us money because they go in like, I can't imagine what it costs to have my double bypass. And the government paid for it. That's right. And he's got to go back for more maintenance. Kill that guy. So I got more maintenance to do. This is expensive. Yes. And every time they pump, you know, pump the thing around your arm to get your blood pressure.
They bill the government 10 bucks, you know, or 20 or 100. Yes, Ro Khanna should not be moaning and groaning about health care by cutting corners on Israel. So the idea is, well, screw these old guys. Let's just kill them. Yeah. Constantly about how they are being met with suggestions of death rather than offers of health care.
And I travel across Canada. Most recently, I was visiting Vancouver Island. And that really is the epicenter of euthanasia. It is the euthanasia capital, most precisely as a region. Nice.
Very often I was hearing of so many people who are shattered by the loss of their friends and neighbors to euthanasia, given how ubiquitous it is there. And so it didn't take long to receive these stories of seniors who, even upon arrival to a hospital or upon going to see their family doctor, were met with the suggestions that maybe they would be better off dead. And who can face their doctor in that climate?
It's just crushing. I don't know. I mean, if they had asked me, so what do you think is a better idea? Should we bring Dvorak back and burden society with a hundred, maybe a million dollars worth of health care? Or should we just kill him?
I mean, I know Darren and a couple other people would be like, kill him is better. Oh, yeah, so they can get the show. Yes, of course. Kill him. Much better. These aren't fringe cases. I'm sorry. They mentioned at the beginning, at the top of this report, somebody goes in for a COVID shot or a flu shot, and they say, you sure you want a flu shot?
We can kill you.
Is it really like that? It must be. I bet it is.
Here's an option. It's just, what outlet is this? Where'd you get these clips from?
This is pretty good. Where did these come from? I think these came from NPR. That's good. These aren't fringe cases anymore. This is everyday medical care in parts of Canada. And when you have a story like 84-year-old Miriam Lancaster, it proves the whole compassionate last resort line.
is a lie. I am 84 years old and a year ago an amazing thing happened. When I got out of bed one morning I was suddenly in excruciating pain so much so that my daughter came running in from another room. She called an ambulance. Off I went to the Vancouver General Hospital and I was approached by a young lady doctor who the very first words out of her mouth
is we would like to offer you maid. I was taken aback.
That was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to find out why I was in pain. I did not want to die. And I was a month in hospital, came home and recuperated nicely enough that I could take some trips. Off I went last year to Cuba before the problems today in Cuba. And then.
This just recently, I have been to Mexico and Guatemala. So my recovery...
has been amazing and there was no need for Maid to even be suggested. We all have experiences where we have inflow in our wellness and in our real need. And so for Miriam, she came upon this time of need and after a month she recuperated and as you mentioned, was able to go and do all of these travels to Mexico, Cuba and Guatemala. And in fact, she's traveling again right now.
Even as her story is going viral, it's been picked up by tons of outlets around the world, translated into other languages. And people love the story because...
Life wins. People love stories of resilience and hope. We are not made for death. We are not made for the defeat of euthanasia. And I am convinced and I have hope that this is not going to last. So I'm constantly exhorting the seniors, especially to whom I speak, don't go down this path. You deserve so much better. And I'm going to be fighting for you as much as I can.
Yes, come to America, you know, south of your border, and Jesus Trump will heal you. You don't need to die. Our president will just touch you, make you all better.
Is that clip one or clip two? That was two. The third one is your kicker.
Yeah, the kicker, this is really pathetic. Alberta showing some spine is great, but the federal machine is still cooking the books to hide how big this thing really is. Amanda breaks down the death certificate changes that falsify made data. Wait a minute. So they're killing people, but they're ashamed of it?
That's odd. Well, they don't like those numbers, you know. Officially, there's one out of 20 deaths in Canada from euthanasia. But it might be three out of 20, but it's a little too high. It's going to get attention.
Cook the books. This is what socialism always brings you people. Trust me. I'm glad that you use the word changes because this is a change and it marks a departure from original policy perspectives. I'd like to point out that an excellent investigative reporter, Alexander Rakin, published a study called From Exceptional to Routine. And this was published by the think tank Cardis. And in this.
study, he cites the 2017 Health Canada recommendation that death certificates state the immediate cause of death as the toxicity of the drugs administered for the purposes of a medically administered death. That's the recommendation. And yet, with the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons,
we're seeing that when completing a medical certificate of death for a person to whom MAID has been administered,
The protocol, the recommendation, is that the illness, disease, or disability leading to the request is to be recorded as the cause of death, and the certificate cannot include any reference to MAID or the medications administered. This is quite simply the falsification of medical records, the falsification of death certificates.
This matters because it undermines reporting. It cuts out the opportunity to have recourse to review and scrutiny of these deaths. And it minimizes the paper trail.
Because the data of May deaths is still collected and reported nationally by Health Canada. But without this second layer of accountability on death certificates to corroborate the death numbers, there is a gap potentially in the data. Why don't they just...
Do what we do in America, where you just get some pills through the mail. Kill yourself. I'm surprised they can move to that. They should.
That's the way to, you know, so this brings me to a clip that I just happened to, I didn't know if it was ever going to fit in. I think you sent it, you sent it to me. I got it from a lot of different people. I got an email this morning from Dame Angela in Nevada. And she's, I mean, she's really, she's a big wig now. I think it's MGM Entertainment or one of the, like really one of the big ones.
And her boss said, hey, you know, my daughter wants to go study in Amsterdam, wants to go to university in Amsterdam. So she's asking me, like, can you give me your opinion? And, of course, my immediate opinion would be, is she nuts? Why? Why would she want to go to Amsterdam? What vision has she been given? And I realize that young people have been so psyoped in the United States.
About how bad it is here and how.
horrible it is.
that they think it's better to go somewhere else. And you pretty much can't go to any other country in the world unless you're from Africa or Ukraine, certainly not the EU countries or UK. So you can't get in. There's no visa for you. It's not going to happen ever.
But yeah, I think you can do it as a student visa. Which brings me to this clip of this Dutch guy who had like his own emergency pod. Emergency pod, there's something really bad. Listen to what's happening in Holland.
This is an emergency SOS call from the Netherlands. All hope is lost. Please save us. I'm calling on the international community to do something about the extreme disease that is in charge of the Netherlands.
Just tonight, our parliament discussed a new law that will allow two men to donate DNA material to create a joint embryo out of two men, meaning a child born of two men. And will also allow a single person.
to mate with themselves to produce a self-fertilized egg, and then create a child with only one biological parent.
This comes after the Netherlands legalized gay marriage, after we had the first gay prime minister, after we invented the Dutch protocol, which is an unscientific, unproven way of castrating a man and then giving him a fake vagina with tissue from out of his ass. I'm not kidding about that. We're allowing euthanasia of children from ages 12 and up, and 16 and 17-year-olds can have themselves euthanized without their parental consent.
We are also allowing, under the Groeningen Protocol, the euthanasia of children up to one year old. So if you don't like your child, you can get rid of it after it's been born. Of course, we have abortion up to birth, right? We have, oh, we have the world's first pedophile party taking part in our elections. My God, I can't do this anymore.
I wasn't born to grow up in this Sodom and Gomorrah of the world.
I am of the opinion that this country needs to be vaporized. And I hereby call upon President Donald Trump, on President Putin of Russia and the Ayatollah of Iran to point your nuclear rockets at this country and blast it to shits.
Away with this. This cannot heal without first bombing it to the ground. I had to look into that. It's true. If you don't like your kid up until one year old, you can say, this kid's no good. It's crying. It's colic. Get rid of it. You can kill that kid. I didn't know that.
I did look into the pedophile party. Also true. Yeah. Three members. Okay. Total three members. It did get on a ballot and they got 1,000 votes. I think that's bigger. But still, three members. I don't know. But still.
Yeah, if you're 16 years old and you don't feel good, just kill me.
So these countries are no good. If you live in America, you are blessed. Blessed, I tell you. You have no idea. I think it's bad here.
Ugh.
Okay. Well, there's something I think that she wants to go study in Amsterdam because it's the old vision of the old days where, you know, people, the coffee shops and people smoking pot. Yeah, it's long gone. Everybody's, you know, grooving and it was cool. Long gone. Long gone.
Come on, Gar.
All right, so I did a little diving.
On Swalwell. This thing bothered me. Swalwell. It bothered me. I was thinking of getting a couple more clips, but I decided against it. No, I got some interesting stuff. Just a little refresher that the entire Senate and House of Representatives is rife with all kinds of lawsuits and hush money.
You know, because people are just super annoyed.
With each other and who knows what's going on. But, you know, this is the $17 million that.
has come out of the treasury for us to pay.
hush money to people who work in Congress who were harassed, sexually abused, whatever. What's unfortunate about all of this to me, though, Anderson, let's just put the politics to the side. There's been over $17 million, roughly $17 million in payouts from members of Congress on both sides to keep quiet sexual assault. I believe Nancy Mace out of South Carolina had a bill, I think a month ago, that she attempted to get passed in Congress.
reveal who are these members who have paid out after being alleged to have had inappropriate relations with their staff members. And Congress voted against disclosing who those members are and were, if some of them are now out of Congress. Just imagine that. Taxpayer dollars?
Paying to cover up this type of atrocious behavior by the representatives that we elect to serve our interests, it just doesn't make any sense to me. It falls below despicable.
this as a conservative. I don't look at this as a right or a left thing. I have a one-year-old daughter now. And to me, when I think about powerful men doing things against women who are subordinate to them, who can't really defend themselves, who may be afraid to speak up because they don't want to lose their jobs. And then our elected officials on both sides had an opportunity to say, you know what, we're not going to stand for this anymore. We're going to disclose the names
to pay out to protect powerful people. And they decided to bury it. Just imagine that, Anderson. In what universe would a moral society say that that is acceptable, that that is OK? No, it's not moral. This whole place is not moral.
But then I go looking for the story because it showed up in, I think, the San Francisco Chronicle. Probably. Yeah, that's the story that got the ball rolling to take down Swalwell.
But this really started with three women on TikTok.
And they, so they.
they were on this, I think it was a podcast and they were talking about how this went down and it's fascinating, particularly the kicker clip. So how did you get involved in this Wal-Mart story? I.
Really, it was just an accident because I coming from the education world, I don't know diddly squat about D.C. or politics or whatever, really, like other than like what we know from civics class. But unfortunately, I saw behind the curtain really quickly and was starting to be told these horrible stories of like swallow. And, you know, I.
I posted with him and thinking he was a normal man and he was not. I was warned that he was not a safe person, that he had done bad things to people that I know and people that I care about. Okay, he's not a safe person. It seems like she was told by somebody and not just her, but there was a whole group chat of people who were told about this. Describe to us how this all came together. Take us to the woodwork.
word and burns
of it all, if you will. Oh, it's Woodward and Bernstein now. Yes. I mean, it's really crazy. And Annika has now come public. She's with NC.
Yes. Oh, we're influencers now. We're on.
So Cheyenne, oh my word. I mean, so I didn't know Cheyenne at all, actually. I had posted, as you saw, and I was kind of like acting a little crazy for a few weeks. And I got to the point where I was like, I'm banging my head against the wall.
the wall here yeah um hitting the dead end i think that cnn had hit before in 2016 and then again in 2019 so i i got a text message saying do you know what cheyenne i heard that she might be posting tomorrow another just text message out of the blue hey do you know cheyenne you know she she might be posting something tomorrow this is such a great op i literally ran around my house like
I won the Super Bowl. I was like, we're going to get him. We're going to get him. Somebody else is coming. Like Paul Revere. And I...
Paulina Revere. We ended up all in a group chat and just it was so funny every day to see the new conspiracy theory of what the new people in D.C. were saying, like who this was that was behind this. Because people were like, you're a mom.
you're being financed by Roger Stone. Meanwhile, you were like, girl, who is Roger Stone? And then they were like, you're actually lying because you don't know who Roger Stone is. And I'm like, name the state superintendent of Oklahoma. Like, you don't know that.
Okay, so here's the kicker. This was clearly a setup from...
Congress, maybe this might be a Schumer op, but listen to this. All of the women who have now come out, once they realized they were not the only one, we continue to see more and more coming.
in a group chat who said, we've got independent sources, text messages, receipts, medical information.
from a sitting congressperson and chief of staff.
me.
You cannot sit here and look in this camera and just because you think you're sincere that we're supposed to think the same thing. You're right. The hubris was absolutely on 11. Where is the media on this story? This is gold.
They got it from a senior congressperson, chief of staff. Who did this?
What do you mean by that? Well, you mean who's behind the. Yeah. Yeah.
I have no idea.
But they know. Pelosi has to be. You know, I got a DM from Christine Pelosi.
Ask you for money. On X.
It was the oddest thing. It's like, DM, can I ask you a question? I'm like, sure. I'm like, is this really? Yeah, I look at her account. Yeah, it's really her. And she's like, oh, I'm doing some really big podcast and I could really use your support and a vote. I'm like, okay, so this is just some douchebag.
got some list like, oh, Curry, he's a podcaster. Yeah, let's ask him.
I was hoping it was her.
Yeah. Anyway, I think that I find that interesting that it came from a senior, from a chief of staff and a senior member of Congress. Come on, let's find out who.
And what else do they have? You're not going to find it. It's done. What else do they have? What else do they have?
story's over.
You got rid of him. Yeah. Yeah, he's done.
So in the middle of the night, they tried to...
renew section 702 of FISA.
are fantastic news media, I don't think reported on it.
FISA being the foreign intelligence.
surveillance surveillance yeah yeah uh and so
Section 702 is very controversial because it allows...
people with access to the system to also look into Americans. That's a warrantless surveillance. Although you can go to a special secret judge, the FISA court judge, and get a warrant.
But this is what has been used. What was it? Admiral Rogers? Was that the guy who blew it wide open during Obama? I think he was headed NSA for a while. Yeah. He said, hey, man, we got consultants, all kinds of people looking into this stuff. And it's not just, you know, it's not just your name. It's it's the content. So I think everyone should know, if you don't, that everything you.
put on your phone is in some system that the NSA can access. It's all there. They've been doing that since the, was it the late nineties, that AT&T building in San Francisco? Was that late nineties? That was.
That was one place, but the big storage is in Colorado. Yeah. Yes, where they have the huge data center, liquid-cooled machines, where they're storing all of your data. And it's there, so they're not looking at it. But when they want to, they can go, let me just go look and see what you're doing. They can look at it when they want to. Pretty much. But they don't want to most of the time.
So Mike Johnson tried to ramrod this through at 1130 at night and failed. Mr. Speaker, are you kidding me? Who the hell is running this place? A five year reauthorization, five years. And Republicans threw it together on the back of a napkin in a back room in the middle of the night.
There have been real bipartisan discussions about adding civil liberties and safeguards. Some members support them, some oppose them. But just about everyone agrees that this is serious stuff. The kind of debate that Congress...
in the open.
Instead, Republican leadership just jammed us. Does anybody actually know what the hell is in this thing? It is 1130 at night. The bill was changed just minutes ago, just minutes ago, and they had to post a corrected version already.
I mean, that is how sloppy all of this is. The distinguished ranking member of the Committee on the Judiciary, Mr. Raskin. The question is on ordering the previous question on the amendment and on the resolution. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed say no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Did you hear that? Yeah.
Those in favor say aye. Those that say no. No, there was no. Oh, in the opinion of the chair, I would say the ayes have it. Well, we want to count. And on the resolution, those in favor say aye. Those opposed say no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the yeas and nays and a hearing aid.
Yes.
Those favoring a vote by the yeas and nays will rise. A sufficient number having risen, the yeas and nays are ordered. On this vote, the yeas are 197, the nays are 228. Resolution is not adopted. Yeah, good job, Mike. Tried to ramrod it through. I'm against this, personally. And here's one more clip. Senator Ron Wyden gives us a little bit of stats. And there's some interesting...
numbers here and I
I know what your question probably will be when it comes to percentages, so I looked that up for you. For years, there have been jaw-dropping abuses of Section 702. Government officials have searched through 702 data to find Black Lives Matter protesters, political campaign donors, elected officials, even a state judge who complained about police abuses.
Opponents of reform say that the problems with the law have been fixed.
Mr. President, the fact...
show otherwise. One of the biggest flaws in Section 702 is what's called the backdoor search loophole. 702 is supposed to be an authority aimed at foreigners outside the United States, but the government is currently allowed to trawl their
way through the vast collection of 702 data to conduct warrantless searches for Americans' communications. Last year, the FBI increased the number of warrantless searches it conducted for Americans' communications by more than a third. That's concerning enough right there. Yet it gets worse.
The number of so-called sensitive warrantless searches which can target elected officials, journalists, or the leaders of political organizations more than tripled during the first year of the Trump administration. The FBI has refused to say why, given Trump's enthusiasm for investigating journalists.
political opponents, this too is a blaring alarm warning of abuses that Congress has not been told about. The government is also circumventing warrant requirements by using a credit card.
A few weeks ago, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that the FBI is actually buying up Americans' location data. Yeah, from Google, of course. It's for sale everywhere.
So you heard this 35% increase. I was wondering, and you didn't flag that as you typically do. No, I would flag it. You already gave me the cue not to. Oh, no, that was the cue to do that.
Well, yeah. Okay. A third more, three times as much. So what's the number? One to four? No. Give us some numbers. I have the numbers. Yes. There's a kicker to that, though. In 2024, the official number was 5,518.
And it increased to 7,400. That's a lot. Well, in 2021, the FBI ran 3.4 million warrantless searches. But they now, to get to that 5,500 number, they use something called an advanced filter function.
that run searches that they don't count. So it's still in the millions. Wow. Yeah, this is horrible. Horrible. So they're arguing over the wrong thing here.
Almost three and a half million people being searched by the FBI.
This I hate. It's no good.
But, you know, you could go live in Holland. It's better.
Or Canada. Canada. You don't like it? Kill you. When you come across the border. We'll just kill you. You coming to Canada? You got any guns? You want to be killed?
So you were right.
I'll say that again because I know you like hearing it. You were right. I went searching for GLP-1 as a part of the problem with our birth rate in the United States.
Which I thought was attributable. Well, it's, we know that the...
The women's health care.
Still, health care is about one million unborn children in America. So that hasn't really changed that much. But we're now down to 1.6.
children per couple, which is ultimately extinction, unless we bring in some foreigners or get with the program. But what, and I thought for sure, I thought that because of COVID, the SSRIs, which definitely don't help with libido, et cetera. But wow, this research. What we're seeing with this ongoing research is there are some side effects.
we're realizing and are coming to the forefront with folks that now have been on ozempic and ozempic-like medications. And those side effects that we're specifically seeing are sexual changes, meaning either your sex drive is decreased. And that's very interesting. And the reason why it is is because the ozempic-like medications
Medbix and all these weight loss medications work on glucagon. And these real receptors are all over, but mainly in your brain as well. And those are responsible for suppressing your appetite.
Also, they are responsible for your mood and your sexual drive as well. And so those dopamine or those reward pathways are affected when you're taking these medications, which can cause a decrease in your sexual function and in your sex drive itself. And so we're noticing folks who have
have a less desire to have sex and a less desire to continue on with it. And they are experiencing what we call like erectile dysfunction as well. Wow.
So women are taking this to look better, to be more attractive. To be sexually more attractive. And then the end result is, I don't really want to have sex. Yeah, isn't that great? This is fantastic. We need to put that on Medicaid. Everybody needs to have this stuff. That'll kill. Who needs to kill you when you can just have the population die off in a slow, easy way? Yeah.
But we'll all look good. We're looking good. Looking good. We'll look good while we just disintegrate. This, and you know, we've got the ocular.
seizures and oh man this is just not good stuff no I agree well talking about the dying population let's talk about
China's population, we haven't talked about it much, but a lot of people are, over the last year, I've seen clips and things on the population in China. It's not what it's supposed to be. You never know if it's really true. Is it 1.4 billion or 800 million? Yeah.
They go back and forth. But I got three clips that I thought were pretty good on the China population going down because it adds a little dimensionality.
China recently released its 2025 population data. According to the National Bureau of... Oh, by the way, stop. This woman is obviously in the same milieu as that guy who talks sideways out of his face. You know, he's looking one way and he's talking... You know that character who always reports her faults. He's always talking... Oh, oh, oh, Stu Peters.
No, not Stu Peters. Oh, who he's... No, the other guy. Yeah, the British guy. The British guy. He sounds kind of British, and he always ends every sentence with...
The last word in the sentence, he stretches the words out. What's that guy's name? That has to be Emilio because this woman talks the same way if it's not AI. Yeah, troll room. What's that guy's name? And the camera angle is always a little bit from, a little bit above. Skewed in above. He never looks straight into the camera. He's always looking sideways. And it's always an amazing story. Yeah, which is bull crap. We're all going to die.
population is expected to drop to around 1.405 billion, a decrease of 3.39 million from the previous year. This marks the fourth consecutive year of negative growth. Out of the 27 provinces with available data, 20 saw a population decline, while only seven experienced growth. This data has sparked heated discussions online.
In Harbin, with a population of 10 million, there's no one on the streets, no one in office buildings, no one in restaurants.
Where did all the people go? I remember back when we had 1.3 billion people. The streets were full. The train stations were crowded with people carrying big bags. But now, with 1.4 billion...
it feels like there's no one. The only place that's crowded now is the hospital. There are huge lines there. Does anyone know where all the people in Harbin have gone? Official data shows that Harbin, a northern city, has a population of around 10 million. But in reality, it's hard to feel that kind of population density in everyday life. The streets are quiet, office buildings are vacant, and restaurants have...
Customers.
After the three vaccine shots, there aren't many people anywhere.
This is a promotion for AI voices. This one was horrible. Horrible. So the vaccine, huh? That's killed all the Chinese? Is that the story here? Well, they forced them to have three shots. And remember, they also, when COVID was actually rampant, they locked them in their...
They nailed the door shut. Welded the door shut, yeah. Okay. There's also some mention in one of these, I don't know if this clip catches it, that all the pollution is really just the burning of the bodies. This feeling isn't just... Oh, that was during COVID.
That was the story then. What is this smoke? Pay no attention to the incinerator. This feeling isn't just limited to Harbin. A similar discussion and confusion have emerged in another northeastern city. A user from Fushun, Liaoning, also expressed...
almost identical concerns on social media. There is a strange phenomenon happening in Fushun lately. I specifically searched it up and Fushun's resident population is 1.71 million. Are these 7.71 million people not eating anymore? I was chatting with a colleague this afternoon. One was making videos for restaurant. They're
Coupons aren't selling, the live streams aren't being watched, and no one is eating at the restaurants. I figured maybe people are being more frugal now, buying groceries and cooking at home.
Then I talked to the aunt who sells vegetables at the market, and she said no one is buying their produce. It's not selling. Some might say they're ordering takeout, but when I got on the elevator, I saw the delivery guys, and they all look pretty down. I talked to them, and they said, there are no orders now. No orders at all. It's way less than before.
I saw someone online guessing that people have all gone back to their hometowns, to their counties. I'm from a county too, buddy, and no one's coming back.
Okay.
So the speculation, of course, online, I guess, I thought the Chinese clamped down on this sort of thing. You couldn't go online and, you know, say whatever you thought. But listen to this, and this is the kicker.
It used to be packed with people with long queues, but this time there was no line at all. I'm wondering what's going on with Beijing and Tianjin? In the comments, many netizens responded saying the old are dead, the young aren't being born, and the younger ones are being taken for parts. It's no surprise. The three vaccines plus the organ harvesting means fewer people. People have been eaten or sold by others.
China doesn't have 1.4 billion people anymore. It's decreasing at a visible rate. Now it's less than 1 billion.
By next year, there will only be 800 million. People have been eaten by demons. Okay, there it is. Eaten by demons. Their own people. Well, that's possible. Was that an NTD report? Where did you get that from? No, it was a YouTube channel. Oh, okay. Well, then that's reliable. Oh, yeah. So there's nothing more fun...
I like texting with Joe Rogan.
I don't do it often.
But I only do it if there's a reason. There's nothing more fun than texting Joe Rogan when he's in the White House, standing behind the president. Did you see this?
No. Here's the executive order. Today, I'm pleased to announce historic reforms to dramatically accelerate access to new medical research and treatments based on psychedelic drugs. In many cases, these experimental treatments have shown life changing potential for those suffering from severe mental illness and depression.
including our cherished veterans. Our veterans are having a tremendous hard time. You know, the suicide rate, we have it down a little bit.
I'm having a hard time. And I got a call from a number of people, including the great Joe Rogan. And he said, we have to do something about this. And I looked into it. I called Bobby. I called Oz. I called Marty and Jay. And it was really, it was uniform support.
And I said, so why would we wait three or four years to get it done? Well, for 10 years, frankly.
Let's get it done immediately. And that's what happened. This has probably never been anything happen so quickly. Everybody is so strongly in favor of this. It's for a lot of people, but it's for our military in particular. The suicide epidemic among veterans is a national tragedy. Since 9-11, we've lost over 21 times more veteran lives to suicide than on the battlefield. So we lose. Think of that.
times more. And today we're
bringing them new hope. I think you're going to see a big difference and a big reduction in that number. So there's Joe standing behind the president who's seated at the desk. Joe's right behind him.
Everybody's on either side. And then Joe tells the story.
than 80% of people are free of that addiction. With two doses, it's more than 90%. I sent him that information. The text message came back, sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it. It was literally that quick. These drugs are illegal not because they're harmful. They're illegal because
of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act that was passed by the Richard Nixon administration. They did it to target the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement. It's not because these drugs harm people. And for 56 years, we've lived under those terrible conditions. We're free of that now.
We're free of that now. Thanks to all these people that we see next to me and thanks to President Trump.
This has been Joe's thing for a very long time.
And you were more aware of those times than Joe or me in 1970.
His claim is that all of these psychedelics, LSD, psilocybin.
They were classified as class one drugs to stop the anti-war movement.
Do you think that's true? I think there's some truth to it.
What happened was in the 60s mainly.
In the early 60s, of course, all these drugs were illegal.
Yeah, why wouldn't they be? I mean, hey, man. Well, they came out. They were just discovered and nobody knew what to do with them. And you had Timothy Leary and people like that promoting them as positive benefits.
And so there was a period of time where everyone was using these or, you know, casually, what do you call it? Dropping acid. They were taking it as a...
Microdosing?
No, what's the word for casual use when you're...
There's a term.
Chat room, help me.
Casual use?
What? No, I'm trying to think what the casual use... Recreational use. Recreational. Okay, there you go. That's the word.
It's the heart attack.
recreational use. So people like in college, you know, and all the universes around the country, they're, you know, on the weekends, you know, they would, people would be.
You get stoned on one thing or another. Mescaline, peyote, it was all free, fair game. And it turned out that the same people that were taking these drugs were actually part of the, tended to be protesting against getting drafted and shipped to Vietnam. And it was a correlation, not a causation necessarily, but.
The correlation was obvious. And so they put the kibosh on these drugs thinking that might stop the anti-war. I believe that's totally true. Yeah. Well, that has been a big thing that Joe has been talking about forever. Now, the stuff that he's talking about is ibogaine or ibogaine or whatever the hell it is. I've heard about this stuff.
And I don't understand where that even showed up in the timeline. But this stuff is supposed to really knock...
just stop you from being addicted. I don't even know how it works or it's not been discussed much. There's no clips about it, but it's been.
mentioned on his show quite a bit.
Well, what didn't happen for people who just cruise social media, like Joe Rogan legalized LSD. Yeah, I know.
This all fits under the Right to Try Act, which was, I think that was the president's first term that he got that through, the Right to Try Act. So, you know, even if something might kill you, if you want to try it, you get the right to try it. So he's moved that under this. So it's not like there's really FDA approval or anything. But it sounds like a good thing.
Yeah.
Good for him. It cracks me up. Joe's standing behind the president. That's nuts. Yeah, there he is. He can't believe it himself. That's a big shot. No, he's like, I can't believe I'm standing here. This is crazy. That's what he texted me. This is crazy. I can't believe I'm standing here. Not that crazy. I can't believe I'm looking at you. Yeah. Let's get a couple of these clips out of here.
You know, in California, you don't have... Actually, wait, before we talk about California... I want you to do your AI stuff. That's what I want. But you can do something before that.
What AI stuff? Anthropic.
Oh, yeah. We've got a whole series of clips here. Yeah, I do have four clips on Anthropic. But before we do that, let me do one quickie on Texas. Uh-oh. It's an Ask Adam. Hold on a second. Ask Adam.
All right. What's the clip?
Play it.
Well, which one? Oh, the Ask Adam? Okay, here we go. And I know, by the way, they reported two children died of measles in Texas recently. We represent one of those families. That child did not die of measles. We have all the medical records. When they tell you in the news he died of measles, that's not true, okay? The other child we don't represent, but a different doctor had reviewed medical records, and he came out and wrote a report and said that also wasn
Ask.
Ask Adam.
Will he know or will he won't? I don't know, but here we go. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Answer the question. Go. All right. What is the question?
You're in Texas? Are you aware of this?
That that kid that was that triggered this measles freak out didn't die of measles, even though they claimed that mainstream media claimed he did.
I have not heard anything about this at all. There you go. At all, at all, at all. No one is freaked out about measles. Well, I don't care about the freak out. Were you aware of the fact that this was bull crap that this kid died of measles? Well, that doesn't surprise me. No, I've not seen this story. Didn't even know it was a story. I think I saw a lower third on one of the quad screens at some point that another measles epidemic.
It's more vaccine propaganda.
All right, let's go with the anthropic material. Let's go CBS. This comes from CBS. This is The Morning Show, part one.
In this morning's Tech Watch, we're looking at a stark new warning on artificial intelligence. Stark. And this one is coming from inside the house. Last week, Anthropic released a report about one of its own new models called Claude Mythos Preview. In it, the company warned the company, the program rather, was too powerful to be released to the public. Mythos is designed to find security flaws in software. The trouble is, it may actually...
And anthropic is worried about it falling into the wrong hands.
Anthropix says, quote, the fallout for economies, public safety and national security could be severe. Joining us now is former AI company founder and CEO Matt Schumer. He's a venture capitalist and he's author of that viral article that we shared here on the show. Something big is happening. Matt, good morning. Good to see you. Good morning. Thank you. So Anthropix says this AI model identified vulnerabilities in every major system from.
Thank you.
if this technology falls into the wrong hands, and what is this technology? What? So let's start there. What is this? So Claude Mythos is the next generation of Anthropics AI technology. It was trained to be a generally smarter AI.
But the thing that's slightly worrisome about this is that even though it was trained to be generally smarter, it wasn't trained for one specific thing. When they tested it after it came out of the oven, for lack of a better term, it developed one new capability that they were terrified of, which is its ability to hack. It was over five times better.
than the previous generation of models they introduced literally months earlier. Now that's very, very powerful because this model can get into almost any software in the world. Software controls almost everything we do. This isn't just Slack and Salesforce. This is power grids. This is water systems. This is banking. Ooh, banking. Yes. Okay. I know what this is about, but I'm all ears for this series.
You know what it's about, huh?
Of course.
Hit it. Part two. So they did something pretty amazing. Amazing. If you think about it, they are about to IPO. Yeah. They need to show as much profit as possible. And this thing is so smart that it could be effectively a money printer. Yeah.
They said, no, we're going to do the right thing. We're going to give this to the folks that need to use it to secure the systems that we rely on for our daily life so that they can get ahead of everybody else. Because in six to 12 months, Anthropic knows if they have this capability today, every other AI lab.
that matters will have this too and they might not treat it the same way. What does it say to you that they came out and did this publicly? Because as you say, they could have kept this to themselves and continued to make a lot of money, especially with an IPO coming. What does it say to you about this company? It's unbelievable. I have never seen something like this, a company that is about to IPO having such a moral compass. It's not something you see every day. It is wildly impressive. Okay.
Let me just jump in.
So this is Project Glasswing, I think is what it's called, and they brought in...
all the bankers, JP Morgan's already a part of it. Jamie Dimon didn't even come to the meeting because he's already had this stuff within his bank. This is the same, and the key here is the IPO, and this is the same mechanism that is used with cigarette advertising.
Look at the diseased lung on this package.
you real this is dangerous dangerous stuff
Buy it.
That's what this is.
This is so powerful, it could kill the world. It could bring down your company. It could kill you. It could kill you. Look at the diseased lung on this AI. You want it, don't you? It's marketing, and it's good. I can't believe that CBS fell for it. No, actually, I can't.
Yale.
Gale.
Well, I wonder whether they were paid to run this piece. Oh, that's possible. Okay, so Matt, part of me says...
Well, this is a company announcing that they have created something so powerful, essentially a pat on the back. This is how good we are. But then another part of me, it scares the daylights out of me. So you say this isn't something that we should be overly concerned about, but it's also something that we should take seriously. Which one is it? Because I am confused. As am I and as is everybody in the industry.
Because you should be keeping an eye on this, but it's not time to panic quite yet. But I understand why you might think that that's the way to go, right? Because if this goes in the negative direction, it could be disastrous. Think about what software controls. It controls a lot of the systems that our daily lives run on. What happens if this gets into a banking system? What could be done there? So many different things. But the hope is that the way that Anthropic is approaching this.
is that the good guys can get there first and secure these systems. They're giving this to the bank, for example, so that the bank can take the next few months before others catch up and harden their systems so that they have more of a moat.
Most of the good guys are trying to make money. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. This is good. This is good. This is exactly how you ramp up the biggest monster IPO ever.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Three or four.
This is the last one. Let's talk about how this could affect us globally from an economic and from a political standpoint. The president is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. There's this upcoming summit. People believe that AI should be at the top of the discussion list. But the question that I have is, does it matter if we think about the world as far as our traditional enemies or traditional adversaries, China, Iran, Russia? Because anybody who has access to this technology.
becomes a threat. Absolutely. So AI is incredibly powerful. And if it falls into the wrong hands and the wrong hands have access to it, it allows them to increase their position in the world. Think about how smart this is and what it can do. So yeah, you're correct in that the traditional enemies we're seeing aren't necessarily the only ones we should be worried about.
However, I would say they are the most important ones to look at and take into account because they are going to keep increasing the capabilities of their models, and that can lead them to do things that maybe we wouldn't be super happy with. We are keeping pace, and we actually are quite a bit ahead right now, but...
there's a chance that gap closes. Yeah. Hopefully this turns out like it does in the movies and the good guys win in the end. Who are the good guys, though? That's the question. Matt Schumer, thank you so much. We appreciate you. Mmm. Mother. All right. I got to tag on to this.
So the race is on now between OpenAI's IPO and Anthropic's IPO. And I'm pretty sure Anthropic is going to come out. Well, I don't know. Do you think it would be better for, if Anthropic really has superior product and a better business model, would they want OpenAI to come out first and tank or would they want to go first? What would you say? No, you want to go first. You want to go first, right.
So I think we are at a bubble moment. I've always been looking for this, but it's not the bubble moment.
that we thought it was. I think Anthropic is the real deal because they just focus on one thing and one thing only, code. We just do code. And code is great because code is syntax and there's tons of it around. You can suck it in from everywhere. And I've had lots of success building things with Claude Code.
So that's great. But it was this story that showed me that the hyperscalers, where all the money's really going into these data centers and billions and hundreds of billions of dollars into compute, into data center compute, and to power these things, that's the bubble. And I think that all of these stories, I caught about four of them.
Every single one of them is downplaying this new company or this pivot because they don't actually want the bubble to pop. But they're calling this the bubble. The sneaker guys, all birds, they can't believe this. They're now planning to pivot.
shoe company pivoting to artificial intelligence. What's that all about? Think about with the internet bubble, we had a bunch of companies add .com to their name. Those had a bunch of near-term stock price booms at the time. And I think we were up 500, 600% yesterday when Allbirds made this announcement to an AI company. And we had this report come out this morning from ProCap Insights.
And we compared it to BuzzFeed and Rent the Runway a couple years ago doing this similar AI pivot. Both those stocks went up triple digits, and both those stocks gave up almost all their gains within a couple months. So I don't know what's going to happen with Allbirds, but they are essentially trying to compete with massive infrastructure data center plays like CoreWeave, and they're doing it with a pretty tiny...
budget, I would say, to get into this data center game. I'm not sure if this is a buy right now. What do you make of this? I can tell you definitively it's not. I mean, it's absurd.
I mean, that is just about, they have no expertise. It's just, it's ridiculous. They're chasing a dream. Don't let yourself fall prey to that. So they're comparing this to...
People saying, yeah, we got blockchain. We got this. We got that. But this is just a public shell. These guys had a sneaker company. And they, okay, this thing is not really doing too well. So we're going to sell all the assets, which they did for like $37 million. And then they sold the company to some other guy.
who then got $50 billion, and he's doing exactly what I've been talking about, which is either buying up to some degree.
Nvidia cards doesn't have to be the new ones. So you can rent it for like two cents a minute or some dude's game computer. This is the model that people are going towards. And all of these Wall Street people, they're all saying, oh, no, this is ridiculous. How can you go from a sneaker? You don't know.
anything you don't know about sneakers we're looking at a wild hail mary here hi marley yeah thanks for having me i think it's a wild hail mary you know it reminds me of the uh some iced tea company that put blockchain in its name and as an attempt to sort of tag along with the blockchain uh furor and and rise in stock prices uh and look we've seen this we've seen this game before um
where companies play this card in terms of, hey, maybe if I put AI or blockchain or NFT in my name, I'm going to see a big rise. And so, yeah, we think it's unfortunate that companies can do things like this, but it's really unfortunate that people fall for it.
I put out a note first thing yesterday, like, please don't fall for this trick. We've written about how this was a bad stock since before the IPO, how the IPO price was ridiculous. And it went on to double from there. So suckers born every minute. And we're hoping that.
You know, not too many people fall for this trick because that's what it is. It's a trick.
Now, you and Horowitz talk about stock market all the time. Doesn't this sound like these guys don't want this to be the way to go? They don't want this company to be successful, and they're just downplaying it as a bunch of stupid people?
Well, obviously they don't want it to be successful. They wouldn't be bad mouthing it. Yeah, but I think they don't want it to be successful because they're all invested in this hyperscaler.
data center, you know, $1.3 trillion worth of stuff that no one's going to want because we can rent some time on some dude's game computer.
Maybe. Yes, and when you get Jim Cramer, you know about inverse Jim Cramer. Whatever Cramer says, do the opposite. What's happening here is that they've sold, Allbirds has actually sold Allbirds, at least what you know as Allbirds, the brand, the footwear company. They've sold the assets to American Exchange Group, and they say...
That group will intend to build on Allbirds' legacy and deliver compelling products.
to customers. What they had done, though, is raise $50 million in a convertible financing, that's what they're calling it, from an institutional investor, not named. Lisa, don't see it here. Let me see. Maybe it's further down, but I don't see it. And what are they going to become? Well, their long-term vision is to become a fully integrated GPU as a...
It's a pivot.
They actually even admit that. And they do anticipate changing their name now to New Bird AI. Yes. New Bird AI.
New bird AI. They're no longer all birds. Now they're a new bird. This is if you're at home. You have to understand we're being a little jaded about it. Well, this can certainly help those who argue that we're in some sort of a bubble. Look at that. That's a bubble.
That's a bubble. You know...
This GPU as a service is a great idea. This is the way to go. This is the way it's going. I'm not a fan of Jensen Wang.
But when he developed CUDA, I think is what it's called, C-U-D-A, which is the kind of the middleware. Aren't you a fan of Jensen Wang? He's a nice guy.
He comes across as douchey with his leather jacket. Well, the leather jacket's got to go. But he talks about the Neo Cloud, and that's what this is. This is the Neo Cloud. And the Neo Cloud isn't even a cloud. Literally, I have a Vulcan, what is it, RTX 3090 card. Not that I'm going to do it, but I can do it.
could rent it out this this is the future of this ai stuff and anthropic they're the only guys who figured it out because they are now changing the business model it's freaking everybody out but this is this is the way it's going problem token demand is what the entire ai investment cycle is built on it's how nvidia justifies selling hundreds of billions of dollars in chips it's how data
center companies justify building 30 gigawatts of capacity. It's how the biggest names in tech justify pouring billions of dollars into infrastructure. The assumption is that all this usage keeps growing.
But if a meaningful chunk of it is employees gaming leaderboards, agents running in loops, or companies just blowing through budgets they can't sustain, then the infrastructure being built to serve that demand, well, it may be sized for a number that isn't real. There is zero doubt that there's overinvestment. M.O. Day calls this the cone of uncertainty. Data centers take one to two years to build.
The FBI company is making billion-dollar bets right now.
on demand that hasn't materialized yet. Buy too little, you lose customers, buy too much, and the revenue just doesn't show up. The math stops working. Anthropic is the first major lab to respond, killing flat rate plans, billing every token, building for demand that it can verify. If you're off by a couple years, that can be ruinous. Both companies are expected to IPO this year.
shows up with clean per token data. They know what customers are paying for and why. The market is already sorting this out. Setting aggressive goals, but understanding what will the return on investment be and under promising and over delivering is often the more prudent and long-term strategies. The company that priced for real demand, it's going to look very different from the one that didn't.
I'm telling you, Anthropic, they figured it out. They are now charging by the token. That's what it is. Forget these all-you-can-eat plans. That's all going away. And that's going to become too expensive. And then we're going to go to the sneaker guys.
I know at least five developers who are already using this stuff. And it's all, oh, let me just rent this dude's GPU for a little bit. It's fantastic. I love this. And I can't wait to see Sam Alban fail. I just kind of want that.
He probably won't. No. And even if he does, the more spectacular the failure in Silicon Valley, the more money you can raise on the next dumb idea. Yeah, next go-around he's got to make. This is the best. I want to talk about Stop Nick Shirley. Stop Nick Shirley?
Are you familiar with this? No. What's wrong with Nick?
boy.
Nick Shirley.
who went to California to start to find all kinds of problems with...
hospice mostly. Yes. Well, after he did Minneapolis, then he went to California with his handler. So the state legislature wants to pass a law.
to prevent anyone from posting any of this stuff.
Nice. You don't know about this? No. It sounds like, what do you call it? A violation of the First Amendment? Yeah. It sounds totally like that. And there's a bunch of, Nick, you can go to his YouTube page. He does a whole expose. He goes up to everybody who signed off on the bill and they won't talk to him. And Anthony and this Wiener guy, not Anthony Wiener, but this Wiener guy.
Where did that guy go? Where did Anthony Weiner go? We need him back. Scott Weiner is our guy. Yeah. Who's super gay and he dresses in leather and shows up on the Folsom Street things and pees on people, I think, and calls him a psycho.
So here's just the shorts. This is a short version of of of stop Nick Shirley going from representative to representative, asking him why they're doing this at all. Here's one of the authors of the bill. How are you guys doing? We just want to ask you about.
the bill and why you guys would pass this bill that really is an attack on free speech. I'm not even sure what you're talking about. You said an author. I don't think that an author passed the bill. Did you sign to pass this bill? The AB 26? No, I don't know what you're talking about. Do you know what I'm talking about? No. You do not. Are you serious? No, you guys are just talking about news.
We're talking about something random. Okay. Speaker Rivas, how are you doing? What do you think about the Stop Nick Shirley Act, AB 2624? I don't know anything about it. And do you think there's any conflict of interest there with Mia Bonta and her husband being the AG? That just shows you everything you need to know. These people won't even answer.
the questions. You're a co-author of the Stop Nick Shirley Act. Oh, you know who I am. My name is Nick Shirley, ma'am. You signed off on the AB 2624 Act. Can you tell us about what you did on that? I don't even know who you are. Well, my name is Nick.
surely but could you please just answer any question about the ab2624 bill a lot of people are worried about that it's going to stop fraud investigations but you're the one who signed off and you're a co-author of it these people are crazy they can't even answer your questions about the bills that they're co-authoring oh is this scott wiener right here yep yes he is scott wiener how are you doing i'm good how are you doing great can you what can you give
This is fantastic promotion for him.
This is good. Yeah, Musk got a hold of this. He's going to give him a spot on Twitter with a...
With a lot of promotion. So let me see. Introduced by Mia Bonta. Yeah, Bonta, who's the wife of the Attorney General. Yes.
Who's supposed to be investigating fraud, but they don't. Check it out. The official title, Privacy for Immigration Support Services Providers.
And it extends California's safe at home privacy program to employees in immigration services.
This is so that Nick Shirley can't do investigation.
Right. Creates privacy protections for immigration support service providers, employees and volunteers, hides their addresses, allows affiliated individuals to demand removal of video recordings, even those taken in public. That's that's a First Amendment problem.
imposes financial penalties on those who publish the videos online.
Wow.
So this must be much bigger than we even imagined this fraud.
Oh, the fraud's got to be out of control. That's great. That's great. Well, it's good for Nick.
And did he have a, when he says we, we, we, does he have another handler with him? Some dude? Yeah, he does. He's got somebody with him. Doug, Dave, Bill, whatever. Oh, yeah. He's from the Trump administration.
It has to be.
Nick Shirley is an important, you know, there will be Nick Shirley avenues in our future.
Nick Shirley Avenue. Nick Shirley Court.
All right, one last one. This came in just before I started the show. The Tyler Robinson case trial is now cranking up. He is the purported self-confessed murderer of Charlie Kirk.
which has been the subject.
many YouTube videos, mainly by Candace Owens et al. And I think they were really trying to keep cameras out of the court, but the cameras are in the court. And here's the prosecution. I don't know if this is from yesterday.
or today, but this came in today, and here it is. The event leaves the campus. UVU surveillance then captures him, returns later. He returns on foot right before the Charlie Kirk event. He's wearing a disguise of sorts. He's wearing a baseball cap, a different baseball cap, pulled low. He's got sunglasses on, a different shirt, different pants, but the same Converse shoes. That's all seen in the surveillance.
limping because there's a rifle down his pants. The surveillance captures this individual. Again, I don't want to overstate the evidence because the pictures of his face at this time are not as definitive as they were earlier because of the sunglasses and the hat. But it captures his face, captures his appearance, his height, his build, all consistent with how he looks earlier in the day and how he looks today in court. But he makes his way to the...
to the rooftop, makes his way to the sniper's perch on the rooftop, takes the shot, and then runs to the northeast, drops off the building and runs to the northeast.
campus into a wooded area. That's all captured on video. Oh, well, that's unfortunate.
It's all on video.
What will Candace Owens do?
No, she's too good to let.
Something like that, stopper.
Ha ha!
Even Tina's like, no, he was a patsy. I said, to what end?
Yeah, to what end and who's the... Okay. If you want to kill Charlie Kirk, just kill him. You don't need to have a patsy and a whole setup and a guy on the roof. Just kill him.
Don't you think?
Seems easier to me.
Anyway.
Well, whatever. It keeps people very occupied.
I want to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the cone of uncertainty. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John Cena.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Crewe. Also, in the morning to all the ships and sea booths and the ground feet and the airships and the waters and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me have a little account of you. There we go. Oh, wow.
Oh.
We broke the 2,000. This has been going up steadily, John, since your near-death experience.
2022. Listening live. Yeah, this is very good. This is very encouraging.
Thank you for encouraging us. Thank you for your encouragement.
They're listening at noagendastream.com or maybe they're using one of those very fancy modern podcast apps. This is the one you want. This is the freedom app that you want. You don't want to get, you don't want some legacy app.
No. You want to get something that's tied into the podcast index where we have everything, all of it. We're now working on flags for AI stuff. So you can find it if you want, but you can flag it out. We have this whole, almost like a SETI system. Remember SETI? The search for...
extraterrestrial life. It's still in business. Really? People are still doing that? I believe so. I've never heard of shuttering. Yeah, we got this whole system where it's decentralized and anybody can start up a thing. And we have decentralized AI models that are using some algorithm to sniff out what is AI. It's going to be pretty cool. So this is what you want.
You don't want to go some polluted index like from Apple or from anywhere else. Spotify, Amazon, Google doesn't even do any, they don't do podcasts anymore. So go to podcastapps.com, grab one of those modern podcast apps. When we go live, your podcast app, usually on demand, listen later, listen on at appointment type stuff.
That will ping you and let you know that you can listen right live, right then and there, live at that very moment. Or if you just want to listen to the podcast, within 90 seconds of us updating the best podcast in the universe, you will know that it has been updated. Boom, you're there. No waiting for 15 minutes to an hour.
or anyone else to figure it out.
And also, no ads. There's no ads on this podcast. Never has been, never will be.
All we do is bring you the top tier information and deconstruction that we work on in between shows during the show day itself to bring you what we feel is the best podcast in the universe. It's a fact. It's certified by many. And so instead, we, you know, there's no like subscription or, you know, people, there's too many subscriptions in people's lives. Everything's a subscription.
Everything. Oh, subscribe here. No.
No.
There's not bonus content. No, everything is here. You never have to pay for it if you don't want to. Now.
That is not a good idea because eventually if nobody sends us any value back, then we'll have to go do something else.
So it's a value for value system.
All you have to do is say to yourself, self.
What was this podcast worth to me? Maybe it was a buck. Maybe it was $5. Maybe $500 is nothing to you. So however you calculate value, just put that number down. We love numerology. Any number you want. We do have 420 coming up.
tomorrow. I didn't see the newsletter. Did you do any 420 promotion? No, it's never paid off. None of those Pi Day doesn't pay off. I thought 420 used to be a big thing for us. Back in the day?
I thought 420, well, maybe not. I don't think it ever really was a killer. But anyway, at any rate, it could be $33. It could be $7, $11.11, $69.69, $77.77. Somebody send a note and say something about 422. And for the life of me, I can't figure out what it was.
About 420? 422. 422? I don't know what 422 is. Resend a note, please. So in this.
value for value model. You can support us with your time, your talent, your treasure. Even that demure note we got earlier is content and is appreciated. It is not the kind of value I'd like to see, but it is value for the show. So we appreciate that. And people can also send an artwork. You can do that through noagendaartgenerator.com.
And we'll take a look at the artwork for episode 1860. We titled that one Microdosing. And this was kind of a fun piece. It wasn't stellar. It was hard to find anything we really wanted to use. It was Darren O'Neill, who sometimes just keeps the show rolling all by himself.
This was the Spy Shake, which is a fun play on words.
Now with 33% more propaganda.
It was one of those kind of, it's all yellowish still, yellowish type deals. Yeah, he could have run it through a filter. Yeah. He just prompts it, and if he doesn't like it, he prompts again. There's no touch-ups.
Let me see. Thank you, Darren. We appreciate that. What else was there?
Was there anything that we liked? No. No, there really wasn't.
It was all, you know, some dog on the moon. No, that was no good. Kennedy. No.
you know,
It's not so much the art, it's just the ideas.
What is this? Sexual Deviant Club? No, that's from today.
I'm just looking at it. AI is ruining the art. It's already ruined the end of show mixes. It's ruining everything. It's ruining our lives.
You talk, you're like a psycho. You go on and on about how bad it is, and then you talk about how great it is for your coding. Yeah, it's great for that, but it's bad for the arts, man.
It's not good for the arts.
horrible for the arts.
Well...
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
So then why don't we go thank the people who supported us with their hard-earned treasure. We love you for doing that. We thank everybody, $50 and above. And if you are fortunate enough to be able to send us $200 or more, you will not only have your note read within reason, but everyone's pretty reasonable about that.
But we'll also give you an associate executive producer credit, which is a real Hollywood credit, and it is good for your life. And you can use it anywhere Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com. $300 or more, you become an executive producer, and we will read your notes. And we have a special promotion for the InstaNights in the order of the red heart, where you get a fine-looking lapel pin along with your knight ring or your dame ring.
And we start off with Sean Brannan in Avon, Indiana. $1,000 right off the bat. He says, I'm glad you are doing well, John. I donated $1,000 for the Red Knight promo. Please amend my note to add my title.
Selex is pronounced with a long, oh, Silex, with a long I, sounds like I. Don't die, John. We need you. Please knight me, Sir Silex of Avon, Indiana.
Well, there's a call if I ever heard one. Don't die. Yeah, I'd say. That's a good one. Thank you, Sean.
Onward with Sri Yann the innkeeper and

Above all, he has been hitting people in the mouth relentlessly, relentlessly for the last five years. Thank you for your courage, Warren. Regards, Sir Jan, the innkeeper of Amsterdam. Thank you. He's got a hotel. Yes, he has offered this several times. I really appreciate it. The problem is I like staying at the airport.
This is something I learned from you a long time ago. Yeah, it's great. Several good John C. Dvorak travel tips. One of them is you never eat fish before you fly, ever.
Certainly not sushi or anything. No sushi and especially shellfish. No shellfish before you fly. Bad idea. And staying at the airport is just the best.
It's like you arrive, boom, you're in your hotel room. You got to leave. You know, what's stressful? You got to get a car. You got to get on time. Is it going to be traffic? Stressful. But thank you, Sir Young. You should tell me what the name of the hotel is. I'd be happy to promote it.
Yeah, do that.
Al Liebel is in Newark, Delaware, sends $333.33. I do not see a note. I'm sure that will come later if he did send one. So in the meantime, hey, double up karma. You've got double up.
And we go to our, Oh, look at the aerodidarian, our buddy in Tribuco Canyon, California. Yes. Three, three, three.
And he has a nice note. He says, thank you. Thank you, Sir.
Coming in with a short row of ducks, 2-2-2, Zadok Brown III from Makawao, Hawaii. Also, no notes, so we will give you a double-up karma as well.
You've got
Moving on to Eli the Coffee Guy in Bensonville, Illinois, 20419.
And then he has a critique. John, I got to disagree with what you said last show regarding farmers markets being a jip.
It's one of the few places, of course, he does this. He sells a lot at the farmer's market, I'm sure. Yeah.
He's not selling produce, though. It's one of the few places left where you actually know what you're buying.
Most of what you get, by the way, you go to some of these farmers markets. There's one in Georgia, a very famous one. You go in there, and you have to be really careful because they have some of the greatest.
fresh tomatoes, Georgia tomatoes.
And you'd pull a couple out. The ones at the bottom are rotten.
I mean, they pull this stunt at farmers markets constantly.
I've seen this with strawberries in the farmer's markets and in my neck of the woods. It's a jip. Let's just be honest about it. It's a jip.
It can be okay. But generally speaking, they could do better.
Most of what you get at the grocery store isn't local. True.
Peppers from Peru, beef from Brazil, garlic from China.
Markets are mostly smaller growers using better practices, making better product. I agree.
Yeah, it costs more. It shouldn't. But a lot of that is taxes, insurance, and just trying to survive, especially in a business-friendly place like Illinois and California.
Business unfriendly places is what you meant to say. Yes.
I do agree with you that pretty much everything out there has become too damned expensive. However, GigaWatt...
is both a high quality and affordable coffee, which is a rarity in this day and age. So visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com, use the code ITM20, afford 20% off your order, stay caffeinated, Eli.
The coffee guy. Very nice. Thank you very much, Eli, the coffee guy. We move on to, oh, Linda Lupatkin, Castle Rock, Colorado, $200. By the way, I gave some, we had.
Rob Carty, the constitutional lawyer over at the house Friday with his lovely wife, Maggie. Yeah. And I gave him some of the gigawatt little John's candies, collab chocolate bars. Oh, that's a good one. Oh man. It's, it's a great party favor. People love it.
So Linda Lou Patkin is in Castle Rock, California. And would you know it? She says she wants jobs karma and has a note that says your resume has about 10 seconds to make an impression and most don't. For a resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com.
Linda helps professionals and executives turn their experience into a clear story of leadership, results, and impact. That's Image Makers Inc. with a K. And Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Yes. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. You know, the problem is I thought that was the end, but it's not. No. I was doing something. I was doing some housekeeping. What in the world were you doing, man?
Paul Summers in Bath, Pennsylvania. 200 bucks. He's got no note, no nothing. So he gets a double up.
Yes, he does. You've got.
And that brings us to William Calderon from Orlando Park, Illinois. Oh, a lot of 200s today. Call me Treehorn.
Okay, Treehorn, de-douching is possible. You've been de-douched. He said, if not, all good. Glad John's back. No, of course I got a de-douching for you. Done, my friend. Yeah, of course. Done. Done. Adam Proventure. Proventure. Proventure in Frankfurt.

Yeah, we got a couple of meetups that are taking place today, actually. But first, we have a report from the Fort Wayne Gathering, which was a meetup in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Adam and John, we had a decent little six-pack showed up, three canceled, but here we are. In the morning, Dame Trinity having a great time.
at JK O'Donnell's in downtown Fort Wayne. In the morning, John Adams, sir, PBR Street King. Hey Adam, whatever happened to Zippy? Hey everybody, I'm glad you're doing well, John. Jared from Cool Axe. Hey, Shelly from Fort Wayne. Hope you all are doing well. In the morning.
Michelle Beam, Fort Wayne. And just so you know, I did some research on the dark web, and Jim Morrison's first album was called The Count from Lower Slobovia. I don't know what that means. But also, we actually had people here, even though they say Fort Wayne, we got Wabash and...
and churbusco, not churbusco, in the morning.
Oh, my. Rather demure in the morning there at the end. Yeah, I say. Wow.
They have Zippy still alive. We just don't let him out too often.
He's a little annoying. Particularly Tina finds him very annoying.
Hey, there's a couple of meetups taking place today. We have the Indianapolis No Agenda Amygdala Attenuation Meetup. This is the April edition. It is Dame Maria and Sir Mark of the Greenwood. And that kicks off at 3 o'clock. Oh, it's underway as we speak at Blind Owl Brewery in Indianapolis, Indiana. 4.30 Pacific, this is the Vancouver meetup at the Alibi Room.
And also today, the almost 420 meetup at Post and Vine, Vero Beach, Florida, should be underway as we speak because it started at 3.30 Eastern time. We're looking forward to those meetup reports. And we also have meetups this month in Scheveningen, the Netherlands, on the 25th, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Toluca Lake, California.
On the 26th, Brighton, Michigan. And remember, we have Leipzig, Germany on the 30th, along with North Georgia. Many more in May and throughout the rest of the year.

Isos here before we get to John's tip of the day. You have a tip of the day today? Oh yeah, I got the one that I should have done last time. I have four isos. Do you want to hear them or do you want to go first? Go first. Ah, now it makes sense.
And here's this one. It certainly exceeded my wildest expectations.
I didn't like that one. It's too muffled. Here's one. That's wild, bro. Wild. Mm-hmm.
And this is kind of cute.
Keyword, donate. That's cute. I thought that was cute, too.
I got two. Okay, which one do we start with? Let's go with great. Wow, this show is great. Oh, AI to the max.
What? Yeah. Shocked. I am personally shocked the support for the show has not been better.
Ehh, I think we do, uh...
Keyword, donate. I kind of like that.
It's cute. You know, AOL keyword donate. Hey, we won't even use those yet. So this is a product.
That, uh...
meme is using to clean
countertops, but it's not really meant for countertops. Another cleaning product from Mimi, the cleanest woman in the universe. Yeah.
And this is a...
This is scrubbing bubbles, foaming bleach, bathroom and shower cleaner.
And you use it to clean countertops. It's a bleach-like scent. Let me read you a little note on it.
She rolled on.
Scrubbing Bubbles Foaming Bleach
This is what I use to clean your countertops. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then use a paper towel to clean it off, then rinse.
Two guys takes away all stains.
It stinks like bleach. However, unlike bleach, it isn't a liquid. You absolutely must wear old clothing and kitchen gloves to deal with this. I wouldn't recommend it for marble because it would etch it. But for tile, Corian...
Chlorine, whatever that stuff is. What is this, sulfuric acid? What is she dealing with here? Bleach is good as a degreaser. It might take the color out of colored grout.
But for tough cleaning, it's a go-to. This is another one of those, you know, if you have a dead body in the bathtub, pour this stuff on, then it's going to take care of your business. Yeah, then you can flush it, you just wash them down. Mimi is doing dangerous stuff, man.
This can't be good. This can't be right. Scrubbing bubbles for foaming bleach. Amazon has it. Okay. What's it called again?
scrubbing bubbles, foaming bleach. Let me know how you get along. And if you still have 10, 10 fingers, that's it. Go to no agenda, fun.com tip of the day.net.
Created by Dana Burnetti. Another broadcast day comes to an end. And we thank everybody who supported the show. If you're still listening, you probably did. We appreciate that. Noagendadonations.com. It keeps the show going because this is the only income we have. And we work hard at it, even when we're half dead.
Or just have fluid in the lungs. I'm sorry, man. That really sucks.
Yeah, especially after having it drained a couple of times and it shows up again. Yeah, it's no good. If you're listening live on the No Agenda stream, you're in luck because we have Oystein Berger coming up next with Mutton, Mead & Music, which is value for value music. And he's just nuts, so you'll love it. It's a great show. End of show mix. We've got MVP and...
And a classic from Sir Saturday Night, Strokey Bill, R.I.P. It's a good one. It's a whole bunch of old jingles and stuff all mixed into one. And we miss him. We miss him. Coming in from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.

We're just giving you what you want. Misunderstood, our on-the-scene reporter, has news about the current situation. What's happening over there, Misunderstood? Misunderstood, are you there? Do you hear me? It looks like we lost our signal to Misunderstood, understand? So moving right along, we have to note the note we denoted in our public note. It was a note on a float with a goat. Do you get what I'm telling you? If you do, you're
black hole of thoughtlessness. In scientific news, a scientist was sciencing around when a scientific thing happened in the lab. So he looked at it in a scientific way to scientifically deduce the scientificness of the scientific thing that caused the scientist's eyes to roll out of their sockets. They started looking around for their eyes with eyes they didn't have and stepped on them. It looks like the eyes have it, or they have the eyes stuck to the bottom of their scientist's shoes.
Weather conditions are muggy with afternoon beatings. You will lose your money and be going to the hospital. Wait!
Isn't this supposed to be a weather report? Where's that damn green screen? Where's my vodka? That's what I'm talking about. Never mind. I got this. Yeah. You better stay indoors and drown your sorrows. There's no point in going out in muggy weather unless you like being mugged. There's all the news that's in the news as we distort, as we report. All the news that's worthy of my distortion.
And your contortion.
