It's Sunday, June 15, 2025.
0:07
This is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media
0:09
assassination episode 1773.
0:12
This is no agenda.
0:14
No kings, no queens, no nukes!
0:18
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
0:21
Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number
0:23
16 in the morning, everybody.
0:25
I'm Adam Curry, and from Northern Silicon Valley,
0:27
where we want to bring back the Fish
0:30
Witch.
0:30
I'm John C.
0:31
Dvorak.
0:32
It's Craig Robin Boskill in the morning!
0:36
The what now?
0:38
Fish Witch.
0:40
Fish Witch?
0:40
Is that like a sandwich, only stinky?
0:43
It's a sandwich made from fish.
0:46
Fish Witch, whatever happened to that term?
0:48
I've never even heard this term.
0:50
You've never heard of a Fish Witch?
0:52
That's why it needs to be brought back.
0:54
No, of course.
0:54
Yeah, it was a very popular term in
0:56
the, I don't know when.
0:57
The only fish sandwich I know is the
1:00
Filet-O-Fish.
1:01
Yeah, the Fish Witch.
1:03
It used to be called the Fish Witch.
1:04
No, it's never been called the Fish Witch.
1:06
Everybody out there, tell him he's wrong again.
1:09
You're making this up.
1:11
I wish.
1:13
Tell him he's wrong again.
1:16
Tell him he's wrong.
1:17
He's wrong.
1:18
Hey, happy Father's Day, John.
1:19
Happy Father's Day.
1:19
Same to you.
1:20
You're the father.
1:21
You're a father?
1:22
Yeah, we're both fathers.
1:23
How about that?
1:24
Woo!
1:24
Did you get any socks?
1:26
You know what?
1:27
I've had you notice, there's no more Father's
1:29
Gifts anymore.
1:30
Now that you mention it, I haven't gotten
1:32
a Father's Day gift forever.
1:34
Yeah.
1:35
I don't remember ever getting a Father's Day
1:37
gift.
1:37
Maybe a tie.
1:38
No, I don't think so.
1:39
No.
1:40
These days, it's like a text and maybe
1:43
a tweet.
1:46
Maybe a tweet.
1:48
Or an Insta post.
1:50
Because it's the patriarchy.
1:52
I love my daddy.
1:53
I said so on Instagram.
1:55
It's the truth.
1:59
Socks.
1:59
That's the best gift.
2:01
Socks.
2:02
Well, you were going to give your grandson
2:04
socks for his birthday.
2:05
I know, and I bailed out on the
2:06
idea.
2:07
I saved you from embarrassment.
2:08
One of our— In fact, I should put
2:10
this as tip of the day.
2:12
One of our producers came up and— There's
2:15
an American sock company that makes these socks.
2:18
They're super expensive, like 15 to 20 bucks
2:21
a pair.
2:21
Wow.
2:22
But lifetime guarantee.
2:24
You get a hole in them.
2:24
You send them back, you get a new
2:26
pair.
2:26
Really now?
2:28
I thought that was a— If you start
2:29
doing the calculation on this, it might not
2:31
be a bad idea.
2:32
Yeah, because I— Except for then I realized
2:34
there's one problem.
2:35
What's that?
2:36
The socks that go missing.
2:38
You're always missing what we're— You can't send
2:40
back just one sock.
2:41
You have to send back two.
2:42
Is that the deal?
2:43
I don't know if you have to send
2:44
back— No, you probably just send back one.
2:46
But what good does one sock do you?
2:49
No, but if you just send back one,
2:51
then you can get two pair for one
2:53
pair.
2:53
Send back a sock and say, Hey, look,
2:55
this is no good.
2:56
And you send back the other sock later,
2:57
you get two pairs for one.
3:00
Seems like— If the sock's bad, they're going
3:01
to repair it no matter what.
3:05
I will say I've seen a remarkable decline
3:09
in the quality of socks.
3:10
I have these— Yes, I agree.
3:13
Smart wool socks, which Tina got me, which
3:15
I like, but they don't last.
3:18
They do not last.
3:20
And you're putting them on, there goes the
3:22
hole in the heel.
3:24
You know, Day Master— There's no reason to
3:27
ever have a hole in the heel.
3:29
Holes in the toe, I can— You can
3:31
see if you got a toenail, you never
3:33
cut it right or it's jagged in the
3:35
inside of the sock.
3:36
But the heel?
3:37
No, I'm telling you— How do you get
3:39
a hole in the heel?
3:40
I have the same thing with— I got
3:41
socks with holes in the heel.
3:42
How does that work?
3:44
It's no good.
3:45
This is the nature of this show, ladies
3:47
and gentlemen.
3:48
We're not talking about socks.
3:50
I will say, Day Master, when she and
3:52
Sir Mark were over visiting Fredericksburg, it was
3:55
an interesting gift.
3:57
She gave me three pairs of socks.
4:00
And they all have the Japanese, you know,
4:04
red circle on them, kind of like the
4:06
flag.
4:08
And they are the most comfortable, sturdy socks
4:12
I have seen in a while.
4:13
I need to ask her what they're called.
4:17
Track them down, make a tip of the
4:18
day.
4:20
Sock tip of the day.
4:22
Yeah, really, really good socks.
4:24
People, you know, socks just aren't appreciated the
4:27
way they used to be.
4:28
Socks, big deal.
4:29
Everyone just buys them at Costco.
4:33
So, of course, everything happens on show days.
4:36
Oh, we had— it's been a great couple
4:39
of days.
4:39
We've had a shooting up in Minnesota.
4:42
We've had the bombing of Iran.
4:44
We had the bombing of Israel.
4:45
We had the whole thing with our joker
4:49
senator, poor Jeffries, I wanted to talk about.
4:53
The guy who charged Christy Noem at the
4:56
press conference and they got busted by the
4:58
cops.
4:59
He was forced to his knees like a
5:01
slave.
5:02
He was forced to his knees like a
5:04
slave.
5:05
And I had a theory I talked to
5:07
you about that I wanted to bring out
5:08
on the show.
5:09
Do you have a clip so you can
5:10
kick into this theory?
5:11
I don't have a clip of it.
5:12
Because, you know, nobody cares.
5:14
Just so you know, nobody cares.
5:15
It's gone.
5:16
I'd still have to bring the theory out.
5:18
Okay, but all people want right now is,
5:21
what's going on?
5:22
What's going on with Iran?
5:22
What's going on?
5:23
World War III?
5:23
Yeah, we're going to get to that.
5:24
There's no doubt about it.
5:25
That's a tease.
5:26
The point is that all these other things
5:29
that were going on are just pushed aside.
5:32
And this guy's got to feel like the
5:34
most unlucky character.
5:35
This guy is a senator from California no
5:37
one ever heard of, Padilla.
5:40
And my thesis is the following.
5:43
Gavin Newsom's not going to run for president
5:45
in 2028 because he's got the stench of
5:48
his lousy job he's done in California that
5:51
will get him nowhere with the party.
5:53
Because they'll just eat him alive at the
5:55
end of debates.
5:57
But he's going to be out of office
5:59
in 2027, I think.
6:02
Or 26.
6:03
So he's going to be out.
6:04
He's got to do something to stay in
6:06
the limelight.
6:06
He's got to do something to stay in
6:08
there.
6:08
So the only thing he can do is
6:11
run for the U.S. Senate in 2028,
6:14
which is Padilla's seat is up.
6:18
So Padilla has gotten wind of the fact
6:21
that...
6:22
So wait, you mean this was a show?
6:25
No.
6:26
Gambling?
6:27
Gambling?
6:28
It was a little show.
6:29
Oh, interesting.
6:30
So Padilla has to do something to get
6:34
his profile up because no one's ever heard
6:36
of him.
6:36
He won't have a chance against Gavin Newsom.
6:40
Again, Newsom will take his seat in the
6:41
Senate and then he'll be able to take
6:43
pot shots at the president.
6:45
And then he can run in 2036, which
6:47
is the worst case scenario for him.
6:50
Best case scenario could be even before then,
6:52
2032.
6:52
But he can redeem himself with the Olympic
6:56
Games.
6:56
He could do something really awesome.
6:59
Well, it won't help.
7:01
And they'll probably screw it up.
7:03
So let's assume it's going to screw it
7:05
up.
7:05
But so anyway, but he's going to...
7:07
So he'll run for the Padilla seat in
7:09
2028.
7:10
And Padilla has to kind of maybe move
7:13
over because it was, I think, Nat Newsom
7:15
who appointed Padilla into the vacated seat for
7:19
Feinstein.
7:20
Okay.
7:22
And so we had Barbara Boxer and Dianne
7:24
Feinstein.
7:25
And then when they left, we had these
7:26
doofuses running.
7:28
We should put women back.
7:31
And so Newsom needs to run for Senate
7:34
so he can go to Washington, D.C.
7:36
with his wife.
7:37
And he can make a fuss there and
7:39
people will forget what a screw up he
7:42
is.
7:42
And he'll be a legislator.
7:44
And so he can run for president.
7:46
This whole thing.
7:47
So Padilla got wind of this.
7:49
This is no good.
7:50
I'm not going to be able to get
7:51
kicked out.
7:52
And so he makes a big fuss, try
7:54
to get some publicity.
7:55
And then boom, they bomb Iran.
7:57
I mean, this guy's hopeless.
7:59
I have a clue.
8:00
California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla spoke out shortly
8:04
after he was forcibly removed from a Department
8:07
of Homeland Security news conference about ICE immigration
8:10
raids in Los Angeles.
8:12
If this is how the Department of Homeland
8:14
Security responds to a senator with a question,
8:18
you can only imagine what they're doing to
8:24
farm workers, to cuts, to day laborers.
8:28
Out in the Los Angeles community and throughout
8:31
California and throughout the country.
8:35
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill reacted to the incident
8:37
during which Padilla was detained after he audibly
8:40
identified himself as a senator.
8:42
There can be no justification of seeing a
8:47
senator forced to their knees, laid flat on
8:50
the ground, their hands twisted behind their back
8:53
and being put into restraints.
8:58
It is beneath the U.S. senator.
9:00
They're supposed to lead by example, and that
9:02
is not a good example.
9:03
We have to turn the temperature down in
9:05
this country and not escalate it.
9:07
Oh, yeah.
9:07
Okay.
9:08
Well, so that was a nice little bit
9:09
of theater that went nowhere.
9:10
Well, it was theater.
9:11
And he never, he didn't have his badge
9:13
on, which they're supposed to carry to identify
9:15
themselves as senators.
9:17
He mentioned that he was a senator as
9:19
they were dragging him off.
9:20
I saw the whole thing.
9:21
It's bullcrap.
9:22
Yeah.
9:22
And this guy, Alex, can't even remember his
9:25
first name half the time.
9:26
This guy is, and if you listen to
9:29
him, he's just no good.
9:30
He's a weak-sounding kind of a beta
9:34
male.
9:34
He doesn't have a prayer against Newsom, but
9:38
he's done.
9:40
All right.
9:40
Let me get us into it with a
9:43
little bit of background here from CBS and
9:47
Operation Rising Lion.
9:49
Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion.
9:54
He even says it that way.
9:55
Rising Lion.
9:57
Rising Lion.
9:59
A targeted military operation to roll back the
10:02
Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.
10:06
This operation will continue for as many days
10:08
as it takes to remove this threat.
10:11
Netanyahu said Iran, which has long threatened to
10:14
eliminate Israel, has produced enough highly enriched uranium
10:17
for nine atom bombs, adding that in recent
10:20
months, Iran has taken steps to weaponize the
10:23
nuclear material.
10:24
We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear
10:26
enrichment program.
10:27
We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear
10:30
weaponization program.
10:32
We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz.
10:35
We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on
10:39
the Iranian bomb.
10:40
We also struck at the heart of Iran's
10:42
ballistic missile program.
10:44
The White House released a statement from Secretary
10:46
of State Marco Rubio saying Israel's action against
10:49
Iran is unilateral and the U.S. is
10:51
not involved in the strikes.
10:53
The statement says, quote, President Trump and the
10:55
administration have taken all necessary steps to protect
10:59
our forces and remain in close contact with
11:02
our regional partners.
11:03
Let me be clear.
11:04
Iran should not target U.S. interests or
11:07
personnel.
11:08
Yes, and remember, they are just days away
11:11
from a nuclear bomb.
11:12
Just days and days away.
11:15
There's a lot going on here and a
11:17
lot of different angles.
11:18
I think there's certainly one that is not
11:20
being discussed.
11:20
But let's just get a quick background on
11:23
the strikes themselves, which seemed extremely targeted.
11:31
Israel's Mossad intelligence agency carried out a multi
11:34
-pronged covert operation deep inside Iran, using advanced
11:38
systems and explosive drones to strike multiple targets
11:41
overnight, sources told Euronews.
11:44
Mossad deployed systems equipped with precision-guided weaponry
11:47
deep inside Iranian territory, a source from Israeli
11:51
intelligence told Euronews on condition of anonymity.
11:55
These systems were activated as the Israeli military
11:57
offensive began, launching precision-guided missiles at pre
12:01
-selected targets.
12:03
In a separate operation, Mossad secretly installed strike
12:06
systems designed to neutralize Iranian air defenses that,
12:10
according to Israel, posed a threat to its
12:12
fighter jets.
12:13
A third operation was mounted in which Mossad
12:16
established a base for launching explosive drones deep
12:20
inside Iran.
12:21
During the attack, these drones were launched from
12:23
that base towards a nearby military installation.
12:26
So there are a couple of things that
12:28
were kind of lost in our stellar mainstream
12:32
reporting here at the M5M.
12:35
One is the people of the streets of
12:38
Tehran cheering, who were happy that this was
12:42
taking place.
12:44
Multiple, even Forbes had, but no one has
12:47
any report.
12:48
It's just video of people going out.
12:50
Yeah, let's do it.
12:51
Let's get those suckers.
12:53
The only report I could find of who
12:55
was targeted comes from France Banketra.
12:59
Iran's nuclear program and its top tier of
13:02
military commanders and nuclear scientists, all targeted by
13:06
Israel in one night of airstrikes.
13:09
General Hussein Salami is among those killed by
13:12
the strikes in Tehran.
13:13
With his death confirmed by Iranian media, leader
13:16
of the Revolutionary Guards Corps since 2019, Salami
13:20
was responsible for securing Iran's borders and safeguarding
13:24
it against any foreign attacks.
13:26
His forces control Iran's missile arsenal and he
13:29
was one of the pillars of the regime.
13:32
Known for his fiery rhetoric against the United
13:34
States and its allies Israel and Saudi Arabia,
13:37
he played a key role in suppressing the
13:39
internal protests of 2019 and 2022.
13:43
Also killed was Mohammad Barheri, chief of the
13:46
staff of the armed forces since 2016.
13:49
He's one of the Islamic Republic's most senior
13:52
officers and the driving force behind Iran's ballistic
13:55
missile program.
13:56
Another military loss has been Ghulam Ali Rashid,
14:00
deputy chief of staff and the commander of
14:02
the Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters, tasked with
14:05
the military operational decision-making.
14:08
Salami, Barheri and Rashid were long-term members
14:11
of the Revolutionary Guards and fought in the
14:13
Iran-Iraq war.
14:15
Iranian media and senior officials have also reported
14:18
the death of Ali Shamkhani, the senior former
14:21
navy commander and one of Iran's most influential
14:24
politicians, was a confidant of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
14:29
According to several sources, at least six nuclear
14:31
scientists were killed, including Fereydoun Abassi and Mohammad
14:35
Mehdi Taranji.
14:37
The death of these high-profile figures shows
14:39
the sheer scale of the Israeli operation.
14:43
Iranian Revolutionary Guards have vowed to take revenge
14:46
after the death of their leader.
14:48
So, you know, everyone focused on the nuclear,
14:51
nuclear, nuclear, the nuclear scientists, but there's a
14:53
lot of leadership there that got taken out.
14:58
Yeah, all military, no civilian.
15:00
Well, I don't know if I'm sure there
15:02
can always be civilian casualties, but these were
15:05
the guys...
15:06
No, but civilian leadership, they didn't target them.
15:08
No.
15:08
I ended up watching the analysis of the
15:11
Middle East Forum guys who were on YouTube
15:13
streaming.
15:15
Yeah.
15:15
Oh, yeah, yeah.
15:16
I wonder if we came to the same
15:17
conclusion.
15:18
What did you see?
15:19
They talked about this thing being large, possibly
15:23
a catalyst for regime change.
15:30
You sound like a black woman there.
15:36
And the guys there and on the MEF,
15:42
they all knew every single guy.
15:45
And they also talked about how they, since
15:49
the revolution in 1979, it's been 46 years.
15:55
And so you end up with a generational
15:58
loss of excitement.
16:01
He says that everybody in the army and
16:03
every place else, one of these guys, the
16:05
better analysis guys, he says, they're just a
16:09
bunch of kids, slouches who hate it.
16:11
They hate it.
16:11
They go to the classes and listen to
16:13
the propaganda.
16:14
They don't believe a word of it.
16:16
Right.
16:16
If these guys are put in a situation
16:19
where they have to go to war, they're
16:20
not going to fight.
16:23
He says the whole thing is a house
16:25
of cards.
16:26
I mean, I don't think there's something very
16:29
different going on that is flabbergasting.
16:33
This is just no reporting on.
16:35
So there's a couple of different narratives.
16:37
The main one is nuclear, nuclear, nuclear, nuclear
16:40
weapons, nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons.
16:42
The other one, I even talked to a
16:45
buddy of mine who worked at Doge.
16:49
He's like, man, Israel's drawn us into a
16:52
war.
16:52
They're drawing us into a war.
16:54
I'm like, I don't know.
16:56
I even see some trolls like, I thought
16:58
America controlled Israel.
17:00
Well, they do.
17:01
That's exactly they do.
17:02
That's exactly right.
17:03
And even Tucker is on the wrong path.
17:06
Tonight, MAGA divided Donald Trump's support for Israel's
17:09
actions against Iran is splitting his own base,
17:12
pitting Israel hawks against those who fear the
17:15
United States is being pulled into an even
17:17
bigger regional fight.
17:18
But remember, when the president campaigned on this
17:22
message.
17:22
I will stop the chaos in the Middle
17:24
East, and I will prevent World War III.
17:28
I'm going to keep us out of World
17:29
War III.
17:30
We're not going to have World War III,
17:31
but I will prevent World War III.
17:33
Former Fox host Tucker Carlson sent Trump a
17:37
stern warning this morning in his newsletter, quote,
17:39
the United States should not at any level
17:42
participate in a war with Iran.
17:44
No funding, no American troops, no troops on
17:46
the ground.
17:47
Drop Israel, let them fight their own wars.
17:49
What happens next will define Donald Trump's presidency.
17:54
Well, I think he's really doing something quite
17:56
interesting that just nobody is.
17:58
I mean, I had to go to foreign
18:00
sources to get anything even close as to
18:04
what I think is really happening here.
18:06
And all this talk about nuclear war, there's
18:07
not going to be a nuclear war.
18:09
Israel's not going to drop a nuke, not
18:11
going to shoot a nuke from a sub.
18:13
That's not going to happen.
18:14
Iran has no nuclear weapons.
18:16
This is pew, pew, and they're taking out
18:18
leadership.
18:19
And I think you're right.
18:20
The talk of regime change is close and
18:23
for good reason.
18:24
There's one other thing that was not well
18:27
discussed.
18:28
I did catch this very short clip.
18:30
An Israeli drone strike has hit a natural
18:33
gas refinery in southern Iran, one of the
18:36
largest gas fields in the world.
18:38
The attack took place at Kangan Port.
18:41
That's a part of the South Pass gas
18:43
field, which is Iran's side of a joint
18:46
gas field shared with Qatar.
18:49
There was a huge fire at the port.
18:52
That gas field is crucial to Iran's gas
18:55
production and export capabilities.
18:58
Israel has been attacking military science, nuclear facilities
19:01
and civilian infrastructure for a second day now.
19:06
So that is a very strategic move to
19:08
take out the gas refinery or, you know,
19:11
when it comes to traditional resources, which Iran
19:14
has a lot of.
19:16
And there's reasons for this.
19:18
Even though we certainly discussed that Iran joined
19:23
the BRICS group last year, it hasn't really
19:27
been discussed much.
19:28
And it's odd, but I found a very
19:32
good overview of something that happened just 10
19:35
days ago on, I think it's the India
19:38
Times news.
19:40
So take the reporting, you know, the way
19:42
it's read.
19:44
But I thought that this really sums up
19:46
what's going on here and why there was
19:49
60-day negotiation.
19:50
Yeah, sure, it's about nuclear weapons, but that's
19:54
not all.
19:54
Trump wants to do a deal with Iran
19:56
because he wants to outsmart some other guys.
19:59
In a stunning geopolitical power play that could
20:02
reshape the balance of power in West Asia,
20:05
the first freight train from China has officially
20:08
arrived in Iran.
20:10
While this might sound like a simple trade
20:12
link, it's anything but that.
20:15
The railroad cuts through more than just land.
20:19
It slices through decades of American sanctions, power
20:22
projections and military dominance.
20:25
This is not just a train arriving in
20:27
a dry port near Tehran.
20:30
This is China and Iran punching a hole
20:32
through America's global influence.
20:36
The freight train traveling overland from Xi'an
20:39
in China to Ibran dry port in Iran.
20:42
The train journey slashes delivery time by half.
20:46
It bypasses sea routes like the Malacca Strait
20:49
and Red Sea, both under watchful Western naval
20:53
surveillance, and instead passes through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan,
20:59
reaching Iran in just 15 days.
21:02
This railroad is a direct outcome of a
21:05
$400 billion economic deal signed in 2021.
21:09
A key part of China's ambitious Belt and
21:14
Road Initiative.
21:15
The goal, to build an economic corridor that
21:18
completely dodges the reach of the U.S.
21:21
Navy and any future sanctioned regime.
21:24
It's a masterstroke.
21:26
While Washington focuses on sea lanes and maritime
21:29
choke points, Beijing and Tehran have quietly laid
21:33
steel tracks where U.S. warships can't follow.
21:36
The arrival of this train doesn't just move
21:39
goods.
21:40
It moves the goalposts in the global power
21:43
game.
21:44
For China, this means a more secure energy
21:47
source, away from the Middle Eastern monarchies allied
21:50
with Washington.
21:52
For Iran, it's a pathway out of economic
21:55
isolation.
21:57
This new rail link also complements Iran's control
22:00
over the Strait of Hormuz.
22:03
It's a strategic chokepoint for global oil.
22:06
With China now entrenched in both Iranian oil
22:10
and trade, Beijing has extended its influence deep
22:14
into what was once considered America's exclusive zone
22:18
of influence.
22:33
Oh, shoot, shoot.
22:34
Here we are.
22:35
The train goes this way.
22:36
We load it up.
22:37
The train goes the other way.
22:38
You were telling me just the other day
22:40
that we've got tons of trains filled with
22:42
coal and then it gets put on the
22:44
ship, shipped over to China, to India, all
22:47
these places.
22:49
Yeah, we're shipping our coal over there.
22:51
We can't have that coming from Iran.
22:53
No, and yes.
22:55
No, and no, yes, they have incredible influence
22:59
over the shipping lanes and they're telling us
23:02
about it.
23:03
Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander said closing the Strait
23:06
of Hormuz is under consideration in response to
23:09
Israeli attacks.
23:11
But what could this mean for Europe?
23:12
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the
23:14
most strategically vital chokepoints in the world and
23:17
any blockade by Iran would pose serious risks
23:19
for Europe.
23:20
Roughly 20% of global oil and a
23:23
significant portion of natural gas pass through the
23:25
Strait.
23:26
If Iran blocks it, global oil prices would
23:29
spike and Europe could face energy shortages.
23:33
A sudden oil price surge would increase inflation,
23:35
energy costs and disrupt industries across Europe.
23:39
Manufacturing, transport and agriculture would be especially vulnerable.
23:44
Beyond oil, the Strait is a key route
23:46
for global shipping.
23:48
Disruption could delay European imports of raw materials.
23:52
A blockade could also trigger military confrontations involving
23:55
US or EU navies, risking a broader regional
23:58
war.
23:58
Now, knowing how we've always operated since the
24:03
Vietnam War, it's like we can't get American
24:06
boys and girls to go fight in the
24:08
desert again.
24:09
That's a non-starter.
24:11
So what do you do?
24:12
You tell the people who hate those other
24:14
people to go and do something.
24:16
So yes, we used our aircraft carrier in
24:19
the Middle East to launch some strikes.
24:21
I think it's more fun.
24:22
It's your people.
24:23
There's all kinds of destruction.
24:25
But taking out the leadership is what this
24:28
was about, weakening them so that we can
24:31
block what China is doing.
24:33
And this is the big game.
24:35
It's much bigger than Israel versus Iran and
24:39
Netanyahu.
24:40
What a pawn.
24:41
They always want to kill us.
24:43
Yeah, OK.
24:45
This is about whose money will be the
24:49
world currency, who has the resources, who sells
24:53
the resources, who is in charge of the
24:55
resources, meaning oil, gas, minerals.
24:59
And there's land.
25:01
And there's always some hooker involved somewhere.
25:03
It's always the same.
25:06
And so now everyone's talking about the multipolar
25:09
world.
25:10
The multipolar world.
25:12
Like Jeffrey Sachs.
25:14
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Command.
25:16
I'm sorry, this one.
25:16
We have a new arrangement of power because
25:18
these other parts of the world have made
25:21
a lot of economic and technological progress.
25:25
So China was a poor country 40 years
25:27
ago.
25:28
It is now a quite wealthy and technologically
25:31
advanced country.
25:32
I'd say it's at the cutting edge of
25:34
many of the most important technologies.
25:37
How did they get there?
25:39
Very hard work.
25:40
Very high investment rates.
25:42
Very good strategy.
25:44
Serious planning.
25:45
They thought ahead.
25:46
They worked hard at it and they were
25:48
successful.
25:49
They stole intellectual property.
25:52
The second fact is a basic.
25:53
Well, Sachs is not necessarily a good guy
25:56
in my opinion.
25:57
I would say if he doesn't drop that
25:59
little bombshell in there.
26:01
Which we kind of understood in the Cold
26:03
War and kind of forgot after 1991.
26:06
But it's a real truth every moment of
26:11
our lives.
26:12
And that is because of nuclear weapons and
26:15
because other countries have a lot of them.
26:18
We can't defeat those countries.
26:20
So the world's intrinsically multipolar in the sense
26:24
don't mess with another nuclear superpower can really
26:28
wreck your day.
26:30
And we forgot that after 1991.
26:33
Why 1991?
26:34
That was the year that the Soviet Union
26:37
dissolved into 15 states.
26:40
And the American elite said, okay, now we
26:45
really are all alone.
26:47
We are the world's sole superpower.
26:50
We treated Russia absolutely stupidly.
26:55
I abused our power, which was real.
26:59
But abused it to the point where we
27:01
ended up having a full-fledged war.
27:04
It's in a way a proxy war in
27:06
Ukraine.
27:08
Yeah, this is what the game is about.
27:11
I love the trolls now, John.
27:12
You'd love the trolls.
27:14
They're like, oh, the Jew money must have
27:15
come in to conquer this BS.
27:19
This is so funny.
27:22
Now they're just trolling for trolling.
27:24
Say some analysis clips when you want to
27:26
get.
27:26
Well, what is your thoughts on this really
27:28
being about China?
27:29
I mean, this is what I conclude.
27:31
I like the thesis.
27:33
It's not going to be brought up by
27:35
too many people.
27:35
Probably you're the only one.
27:38
But again, I think by pulling the clips
27:42
that only Noah Jenner can do from India
27:44
and other places that nobody else cares about,
27:47
you could piece it together.
27:49
And I think you make it work.
27:50
And I think the gas field, blown up
27:52
gas field, one of the biggest in the
27:54
world.
27:55
Someone might point out that the Chinese are
27:58
relying on.
27:59
They want to maybe bring some liquefied natural
28:01
gas over, whatever products they can get from
28:03
Iran.
28:05
Good catch.
28:05
Yeah, and I think I don't think it's
28:09
all about the Chinese, but I think I
28:11
think the Chinese insofar as the American perspective
28:14
and the fact that we're controlling the action,
28:16
no matter what anyone wants to believe.
28:19
And we let Israel think that they're, oh,
28:21
yeah, well, yeah, why don't you go?
28:23
OK.
28:23
And these analysis clips that I have will
28:26
actually kind of back that up because it's
28:28
like, especially this one guy, the ambassador to
28:33
the United States.
28:36
He is last, which would be the last
28:38
clip.
28:39
He just outlines the process that created the
28:43
the go ahead.
28:46
It's in other words, there was there had
28:48
to be a go ahead.
28:48
Because we already told them not to do
28:51
this in April.
28:52
Yeah, it needed a trick.
28:53
But again, this and then I want to
28:56
hear you close, but it boils down to
28:57
this.
28:59
Either America is running the show with our
29:02
money and our resources.
29:03
Or China runs the show.
29:06
And you don't really want China running the
29:08
show.
29:09
You worry about Peter Thiel and Palantir.
29:11
Wait until China takes over.
29:13
Oh, China's that you don't know.
29:15
You don't want China running the show.
29:16
They're not there.
29:18
They're good at what they do.
29:19
They're no good at running the show.
29:21
I mean, I'd rather have the Brits.
29:24
Brits over bricks, I tell you.
29:26
We talk about this at the dinner table
29:28
about how the Brits are, you know, they're
29:29
the ones that we've talked about on the
29:31
show.
29:31
They're the real.
29:33
I mean, that's where we get all our
29:34
skill sets for international management.
29:40
I've been to some of this.
29:41
I went to an IBM seminar once where
29:43
they did the whole thing was on international
29:45
management.
29:46
IBMers know how to do this.
29:47
The Brits know how to do it the
29:48
best.
29:49
They ran India that nobody else could run.
29:52
We couldn't do it.
29:54
They have a very interesting type of management
29:57
skill that nobody else can do.
29:59
And people don't the Indians still don't mind
30:03
the Brits.
30:04
They don't like us.
30:05
They might not like the Chinese, but the
30:07
Brits can do management at a highest international
30:11
level because of the nature of their empire
30:13
and how they formed it and how they
30:14
develop management skills that we copied from them.
30:19
The Chinese haven't got a clue.
30:22
The Chinese classic Chinese management is a Chinese
30:25
apartment building owner.
30:27
You pay now.
30:27
You pay now.
30:29
You know, and their whole idea of marketing,
30:32
you know, best price.
30:34
They're clueless.
30:35
They're horrible.
30:37
That's true.
30:38
It's not a friendly way of marketing.
30:40
I'm in full agreement.
30:42
Full agreement.
30:43
So we don't want the Chinese running everything.
30:47
They run themselves fine.
30:48
They're very good at managing large projects.
30:51
In fact, they can do that better than
30:53
I think anybody.
30:54
If you start looking at the history of
30:55
China and some of the stuff that happened
30:57
in the past where they had fleets of
30:59
5000 ships and they were well managed because
31:02
the Chinese can manage each other, but they
31:04
can't manage other cultures.
31:07
No.
31:09
And look at the mess.
31:09
You pay now.
31:10
I mean, that's.
31:11
Look at the mess.
31:12
Doesn't cut it.
31:12
The mess they make in Africa and Iran.
31:15
In Africa, they make a mess and they
31:18
know it.
31:19
And look, Iran is weak and President Trump,
31:23
he was doing the 60 day negotiation and
31:26
it wasn't just about nukes.
31:28
No, it's like, hey, stop that nonsense with
31:32
these Chinese.
31:33
We can't have that.
31:34
You just can't have it.
31:36
And it may sound like a dictator, but
31:39
yeah.
31:41
Pax Americana, baby.
31:42
We can't have that.
31:43
I understand exactly what he's doing.
31:45
And OK, you want to do that?
31:47
You don't want to talk.
31:48
All right.
31:49
And then he calls Netanyahu and then they
31:50
go in with the Mossad and their drones.
31:52
Oh, I'm sorry.
31:54
Israel's controlling us.
31:55
That's why the bombs are falling on Tel
31:56
Aviv.
31:59
Please, please, people.
32:02
That's a lost cause.
32:04
If people want to think that Israel runs
32:06
the world, they're they got to screw loose.
32:08
They all.
32:09
Don't you know about AIPAC?
32:11
Yeah, AIPAC controls Congress.
32:13
Absolutely.
32:14
But where do we control AIPAC?
32:16
Where does AIPAC money come from?
32:18
It comes from the American Israeli Education Foundation.
32:21
That's where.
32:22
Go look at the Form 990.
32:24
I did it.
32:25
It all comes from Raytheon, Boeing.
32:27
It's the military-industrial complex.
32:29
Eisenhower did not warn for the Jewish-Israeli
32:33
industrial complex.
32:34
No, he warned us for the military-industrial
32:37
complex.
32:38
I think you should stop beating this up.
32:41
I won't.
32:42
Why would I?
32:42
We did the same with COVID.
32:44
We did the same with Ukraine.
32:45
Why?
32:45
Because it's fruitless.
32:46
It's not fruitless.
32:48
You'll never convert those the people that think
32:50
that way.
32:52
You're an idealist.
32:54
I am an idealist.
32:55
One topic.
32:56
I am.
32:56
And you know what?
32:58
It's never about the people.
33:00
The people, the Iranians, they don't want this
33:02
nonsense.
33:02
The Israelis, they don't want this nonsense.
33:04
And we certainly don't want this.
33:06
And I doubt the Chinese people want it
33:08
either.
33:09
This is big game.
33:11
Big cojones.
33:12
We'll see how it goes.
33:14
So far, no bombs dropped on America.
33:16
Feeling pretty good.
33:18
Let's play this.
33:19
This is one of the analysis pieces from
33:25
PBS.
33:26
This is the standalone one says Iran-Israel
33:30
anal.
33:30
And for a wider perspective, we turn now
33:33
to Wendy Sherman, who was the lead negotiator
33:35
for the nuclear agreement with Iran during the
33:37
Obama administration.
33:39
She served as U.S. Deputy Secretary of
33:41
State during the Biden administration and is currently
33:43
a senior fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of
33:45
Government.
33:46
And Vali Nasser is a professor of International
33:48
Affairs and Middle East Studies at the Johns
33:50
Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
33:53
And he's also the author of Iran's Grand
33:56
Strategy, A Political History.
33:58
Our thanks to you both for joining us.
33:59
Wendy Sherman, we'll start with you.
34:01
The U.S. says it was not involved
34:02
in Israel's strikes against Iran's nuclear sites.
34:06
But is this attack, in your view, is
34:09
it aligned with U.S. interests?
34:10
Or does it introduce new and unpredictable risks
34:14
for U.S. forces and regional stability?
34:16
I think it certainly introduces a lot of
34:19
risk for all of the military personnel, some
34:22
40,000 in the region and the hundreds
34:25
of thousands of Americans in Israel, as well
34:29
as in the wider region.
34:30
There is no question that all of us
34:33
don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
34:35
That was the whole reason that President Obama
34:38
asked Secretary Clinton, Secretary Kerry and myself to
34:44
work hard to get a joint comprehensive plan
34:46
of action with Iran to put constraints on
34:49
its nuclear program.
34:51
Donald Trump in his first term as president,
34:53
as you know, in 2018, pulled out of
34:56
that deal.
34:56
I don't think we'd be where we are
34:58
today if that hadn't happened.
35:01
Yeah, we'd have a nuclear armed Iran if
35:04
it hadn't happened.
35:06
Exactly.
35:07
This is somebody serving her own purposes.
35:11
Well, she's from Johns Hopkins, what do you
35:14
expect?
35:14
What do you expect?
35:15
It was a terror, so PBS is useless.
35:19
But they did bring in the ambassador from
35:22
Israel.
35:23
He was making the rounds, the ambassador.
35:25
He was all over the news today.
35:26
That's what you do.
35:27
He was all over the news today.
35:29
We can play his, I got three clips
35:32
from him.
35:32
And the last one is the only good
35:34
one, but we'll play the clip one.
35:35
For more on Israel's goals and what comes
35:38
next, we're joined now by the Israeli ambassador
35:40
to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter.
35:42
Ambassador Leiter, welcome back to the NewsHour.
35:44
Thank you for joining us.
35:46
Thank you, Amna.
35:47
It's good to be with you.
35:48
I want to begin by asking you about
35:50
the latest we're seeing of the extraordinary Iranian
35:52
missile attacks unfolding over Tel Aviv at this
35:56
moment.
35:56
As we speak, what can you tell us
35:58
about the latest on the ground?
36:00
What kind of damage has been inflicted so
36:02
far in Israel?
36:02
Well, we know at present there are 35
36:05
people injured right outside of Tel Aviv, two
36:09
critically.
36:10
We're praying for their survival.
36:14
Iran has a very large array of ballistic
36:19
missiles.
36:20
They have fired them in the past, both
36:22
in April and in October.
36:24
At that time, we were able to intercept
36:27
them.
36:29
Several have gotten through this time, a total
36:31
of 85 in this barrage.
36:33
These are huge missiles.
36:35
Huge.
36:35
And we do have sustained injuries.
36:39
U.S. officials said today that the U
36:40
.S. military is helping to intercept some of
36:43
those Iranian missiles.
36:45
Are you expecting U.S. forces to participate
36:47
more deeply than that when it comes to
36:50
defending Israel?
36:51
Is that something that Prime Minister Netanyahu and
36:53
President Trump spoke about today?
36:54
The United States has had our back both
36:58
in April and October.
37:00
There are anti-aircraft missiles that have been
37:05
set in the Middle East to help support
37:09
our Iron Dome system.
37:13
This is a barrage of dozens of missiles
37:16
all at the same time, and it needs
37:17
a support system.
37:19
And we're very, very thankful for the defensive
37:22
posture that the United States has taken now
37:24
for a third time in helping to prevent
37:27
these missiles from exacting dramatic damage on our
37:31
civilian population.
37:33
Yeah, that Iron Dome seems a bit buggy.
37:36
You know, I do remember the Scud days.
37:40
The Scud Stud, of course I do.
37:42
The Scud Stud, yes.
37:44
And the Scuds were going up.
37:46
I went and visited Israel a year after
37:49
that event.
37:53
And everybody in Israel said the Patriot missiles
37:57
hit nothing.
37:59
And the only thing that was blowing up
38:00
up there is the Scuds were such junk
38:03
that when they were reaching their apogee, they
38:06
just fall apart.
38:08
Everybody said.
38:09
The Scuds.
38:10
The Scuds.
38:12
So, okay, part two.
38:14
We have to erase this threat to our
38:17
existence.
38:18
This is not a border dispute.
38:20
This is a threat to our existence.
38:22
And they make no secret about it.
38:23
The Iranian regime has made a very concrete
38:25
plan.
38:26
It's actually a printed plan in which calls
38:29
for the destruction of the state of Israel.
38:32
And that's not something we can live with.
38:34
For us, it's existential.
38:36
We saw Prime Minister Netanyahu say that obviously
38:38
part of the goal here is preventing Iran
38:40
from becoming nuclear armed.
38:42
But we also heard him speak directly to
38:44
the Iranian people.
38:45
He said, we're also clearing the path for
38:47
you to achieve your freedom.
38:49
This is your opportunity to stand up and
38:52
let your voices be heard.
38:53
Ambassador, is regime change in Iran part of
38:57
the goal here?
38:58
Well, it's not part of our goal.
38:59
If it facilitates the goal of the Iranian
39:02
people, that's fine.
39:04
But regimes have to be determined by the
39:06
people.
39:07
That's how the democratic process works.
39:10
So we don't focus on regime change.
39:12
We want militarization change.
39:14
We want the annihilationist ideology of the regime
39:17
to change.
39:18
If the Iranian people rise up as they've
39:20
tried to do in the past and change
39:22
their regime, that's for them to decide, not
39:25
for us to decide.
39:26
Yeah, well, of course.
39:30
I like the annihilationist, I think is a
39:35
nice term that he threw in.
39:37
Now, there was an interesting point he made
39:38
in there, which has been brought up.
39:39
It hasn't gotten a lot of play, but
39:41
it came and went.
39:42
This is the printed plan.
39:45
Now, this falls in kind of in line
39:47
with your thinking about China.
39:49
There's, you know, they keep claiming and saying,
39:53
and I believe it's probably true that the
39:55
Iranians would like to get a nuke any
39:57
minute.
39:58
Yeah, happening soon.
40:00
Amen.
40:00
And they couldn't.
40:01
And they, you know, they just kept saying,
40:03
well, you know, we're not, that's not what
40:04
we're trying to do here.
40:05
And yeah, you are.
40:07
And so then about, I think it was
40:09
about six months to a year ago, whenever
40:11
it was, there was a raid at some
40:13
place that got blowed up.
40:14
And they found a printed plan.
40:19
They found a printed plan, which is what
40:21
he mentioned.
40:21
And it was a printed plan.
40:22
They had the entire outline of what they
40:26
were, how they're going to get to a
40:28
nuclear weapon and ballistic missiles.
40:30
And they're going to, you know, own the
40:32
area.
40:33
And this printed plan was brought to the
40:36
fore.
40:36
I think it was even brought in front
40:37
of the United Nations.
40:39
It's quite possible that this, because for one
40:42
thing, you can't go on and on about
40:43
how unbelievable the Mossad is, how they've penetrated
40:47
this and that.
40:48
And the other thing in Iran with all
40:50
their spies, you can't say that they're that
40:54
great.
40:54
And then make no assumption that the printed
40:59
plan could be bullcrap.
41:02
Planted by the Mossad, planted by us.
41:04
The CIA could have read the whole thing.
41:06
Very carefully structured printed plan that just coincidentally,
41:10
they found in a blowed up place.
41:13
Like a passport found near the Twin Towers.
41:16
Yeah, the passport found near the Twin Towers.
41:19
So you have to make the assumption that
41:21
there's a printed plan that was just coincidentally
41:25
found in this spot.
41:26
It could be bullcrap and there is no
41:28
printed plan, but it's something they're using as
41:30
leverage because the whole thing seems to be,
41:33
you know, it's just well, it's too well
41:36
structured.
41:37
I mean, it doesn't help that, you know,
41:39
bombs are flying every which way and people
41:41
are getting killed, but I'm skeptical about a
41:44
lot of this stuff.
41:45
But I think he wraps it up with
41:47
how this all got triggered in the third
41:49
clip.
41:49
As you know, there were ongoing talks between
41:51
the US and Iran to restrict their nuclear
41:53
program when Israel struck Iran.
41:56
There was another round scheduled for this Sunday.
41:59
Do you want to see those talks move
42:00
forward?
42:00
Do you have confidence that they could reach
42:02
a deal?
42:02
We'd like to see the talks move forward,
42:04
but we're not confident that the Iranians will
42:07
come around to a deal.
42:08
We were skeptical from the outset.
42:11
We encourage the talks because it's important to
42:14
try to pursue a path of negotiation rather
42:17
than a military one.
42:19
But the fact of the matter is that
42:22
the Iranians are ideologically and theologically committed to
42:25
destroying Israel and they have no intention whatsoever
42:28
of drawing back their nuclear program, nuclear weaponization
42:34
program.
42:36
Look, the fact of the matter is that
42:37
the president of the United States gave the
42:40
Iranians 60 days.
42:42
Yesterday was the 61st day.
42:43
It's over, number one.
42:46
Number two, the IAEA issued a scathing report.
42:49
This is not an Israeli report.
42:50
This is an international atomic agency report, which
42:54
basically indicted the Iranian regime for violations and
42:58
for the development of a nuclear weapons program.
43:02
And we see, this is the most important
43:04
point, Amna, we see in our intel that
43:07
they're racing forward to achieve the weaponization of
43:13
enriched uranium.
43:14
That means a nuclear bomb that changes the
43:17
world.
43:17
And for us, it changes the entire equation
43:20
because it endangers our very existence.
43:23
We can't live with that.
43:24
I think the whole nuclear bomb thing is
43:26
just a ploy.
43:28
Everyone be afraid, be afraid, be afraid.
43:30
Nuclear bomb Irans, they're just days away, weeks
43:32
away.
43:33
Any moment now, they're going to nuclear bomb.
43:34
No, we're totally going to spark regime change.
43:39
I'm not quite sure what the mechanism's going
43:41
to be, but it seems like the Iranians
43:43
are ready for it.
43:45
And well, according to the MEP guys, the
43:47
Middle East Forum, MEF, Middle East Forum guys,
43:51
they say that the way it's structured right
43:54
now, that Khomeini, the guys running the show,
43:58
the grand pooba, he's seen as being very
44:05
weak because of the bombing that took place.
44:09
There was no protection for the civilians and
44:11
there's bombs flying every which way.
44:13
And now they've lost faith in the grand
44:17
wizard and his group of mullahs.
44:21
And everybody thinks that they're ripe to be
44:24
overthrown and be hung by the yardarm.
44:27
And if there's going to be any other
44:29
military intervention, I can tell you who's next.
44:33
You know, Saudi Arabia, Trump was just over
44:36
there.
44:36
Hey, I got some stuff for you guys.
44:38
Didn't he, didn't he just sell them like
44:41
a whole bunch of death defying rockets?
44:45
Didn't we have a clip on that?
44:47
You think the Saudis would invade Iran?
44:49
No, no, no.
44:50
Lob some stuff over.
44:51
They've been fighting Iran forever.
44:53
Maybe.
44:54
They've been fighting Iran forever.
44:56
I know the proxy war with Saudi Arabia
45:01
and Iran was the Houthi war.
45:02
Yeah.
45:02
In South Yemen.
45:04
Yeah, but it's still proxy war.
45:06
It's still against, let me see.
45:07
I think I have this clip.
45:08
Let me see.
45:09
United States president Donald Trump wrapped up his
45:12
Middle East tour on Friday that saw him
45:14
visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and was the last
45:17
stop in the United Arab Emirates.
45:19
In this first visit to the UAE by
45:21
US president since 2008, the two countries pledged
45:25
to strengthen ties and announced deals totaling over
45:28
$200 billion.
45:30
This includes a partnership with the UAE to
45:33
build a massive AI data center in its
45:35
capital Abu Dhabi and for the Gulf state
45:37
to buy advanced AI semiconductors from US companies.
45:41
I'm sure there was bombs in there.
45:41
Its anti-had airways is said it'll buy
45:43
28 US-made Boeing aircraft in a deal
45:46
worth $14.5 billion while Abu Dhabi, the
45:49
UAE's capital, pledged to hike the value of
45:52
its energy investments in the US to $440
45:55
billion in the next decade.
45:57
The four-day trip was very much focused
45:59
on business and resulted in a string of
46:01
lucrative deals for both Washington and the three
46:04
countries.
46:05
Trump aborted Air Force One in Abu Dhabi.
46:07
I thought that we had a clip somewhere
46:09
where he sold like a whole bunch of
46:12
these killer missiles.
46:14
Well, maybe, but the point is, I think
46:16
he went there in the first place to
46:18
soften them up for this attack by Israel
46:22
because he had to set that up in
46:23
advance to make sure it wasn't going to
46:27
go sideways.
46:30
Meanwhile, of course, the usual suspects are jumping
46:34
up and down.
46:35
Mr. Military Industrial Complex himself, or should I
46:38
say Mrs., Lady G.
46:42
Game on, everybody.
46:43
It's game on.
46:44
It's South Carolina.
46:45
Don't they have Boeing?
46:46
Isn't that like the big military production state?
46:49
I believe there is a Boeing plant in
46:51
South Carolina.
46:52
But have a look at what— This is,
46:53
I think, this is your Kirsten Welker with,
46:57
I think, Rand Paul.
46:58
Let me see.
46:58
But have a look at what Senator Lindsey
47:01
Graham argues should happen if Iran does not
47:04
come to the negotiating table.
47:05
He says, quote, if Iran refuses this offer
47:08
of the United States, I strongly believe it
47:10
is in America's national security interest to go
47:13
all in to help Israel finish the job.
47:16
How do you respond to Senator Graham's call
47:18
to go all in and help Israel finish
47:21
the job, Senator?
47:23
Well, his initial response was game on.
47:26
And I don't consider war to be a
47:27
game.
47:28
The hundreds of thousands of people that potentially
47:30
will now die on both sides.
47:33
You know, for a couple thousand years, we've
47:35
had this discussion over what is just war.
47:38
Not only our civilization, but other civilizations have
47:41
had this discussion.
47:42
And one of the things that many people
47:44
came to a conclusion was that preemptive or
47:46
preventative war wasn't just.
47:48
And so there is that.
47:50
But there is also the idea that what
47:51
happens to Iran, you imagine what happens in
47:54
Iran now.
47:55
Do they coalesce around their government, even though
47:57
their government is unpopular?
47:58
Does nationalism thrive?
48:00
And you would think that they would probably
48:01
be less likely to want to negotiate at
48:03
this time, particularly when they may feel that
48:05
negotiations were a ruse to put them at
48:08
ease until the bombing happened.
48:10
So I think it's going to be very
48:11
hard to come out of this and have
48:12
a negotiated settlement.
48:14
I see more war and more carnage.
48:16
And it's not the U.S.'s job to
48:18
be involved in this war.
48:19
Iraq was a mess.
48:21
Afghanistan was a mess.
48:22
And one of the things I like about
48:23
President Trump is he has shown restraint.
48:25
And so I think his instincts are to
48:28
not be involved in this war, but there'll
48:29
be a lot of pressure from Lindsey Graham
48:31
and others to get involved in this war.
48:33
And I hope that his instincts will prevail.
48:38
I thought there was another.
48:40
A little standard blather.
48:42
Yeah, yeah.
48:44
There was another, let me see.
48:45
I think I had another one from Lindsey
48:47
Graham.
48:48
Where was it?
48:48
Um, hmm.
48:50
Hold on a second.
48:52
Yeah, Lindsey Graham, he's, you know, he's got
48:53
Boeing in his pocket.
48:55
Oh, here we go.
48:56
Somebody's in somebody's pocket.
48:58
Here he is.
48:58
This is from this morning.
49:01
By the way, it's not just Lindsey Graham.
49:03
It is the unlikely dynamic duo of Lindsey
49:06
Graham and Richard Blumenthal, the peaceniks at work.
49:10
I think there is really no obstacle.
49:13
And this is about Iran and Russia.
49:15
To our moving ahead with these bone crushing
49:19
sanctions, even if oil prices spike because of
49:22
what's happening in the Middle East.
49:23
You know, we are now energy independent when
49:26
it comes to oil.
49:27
The United States, you're kind of giving the
49:29
game away here, by the way.
49:31
It's like, it's about oil.
49:32
It's about us.
49:33
But I mean, nukes.
49:35
We are now energy independent when it comes
49:37
to the United States.
49:39
Europe has weaned itself off Russian oil.
49:42
Europe is solidly behind these sanctions.
49:46
And we've incorporated flexibility in this bill based
49:51
on our national security for a potential waiver
49:55
where our interests are concerned unforeseeably or unknowably
49:58
right now.
49:59
We've incorporated exemptions for our European allies who
50:03
are aiding Ukraine in the billions of dollars,
50:07
giving them a little bit more time to
50:09
adjust.
50:10
This is a carefully constructed- What he
50:14
says, there's three categories.
50:16
If you're not doing business with Russia, you
50:18
don't have anything to worry about.
50:19
If you're doing business with Russia, but you're
50:21
helping Ukraine, you have a carve out for
50:23
270 days.
50:24
If you're doing business with Russia and not
50:26
helping Ukraine, you're screwed.
50:29
The president can waive part of all of
50:31
this based on our national interest.
50:33
But to the people who wonder, should we
50:35
pay a price for our freedom we have
50:36
in the past?
50:37
Go to Arlington.
50:38
Oil prices will go up- Our bill.
50:43
Oil prices will go up if we try
50:45
to confront Iran for their nuclear ambitions.
50:48
But you pay now, you pay later.
50:50
If we get Iran right and we get
50:52
peace with Russia, Ukraine, not only do oil
50:55
prices come down, the world will be better
50:57
off.
50:58
So this idea of having freedom and not
51:00
sacrificing never existed, nor does it exist now.
51:03
I'll go sacrifice yourself, Lindsey Graham.
51:06
What a crock.
51:07
I mean, it just goes on with all
51:09
the bromide and cliche you can imagine.
51:12
I mean, I truly think that President Trump
51:14
is just trying to get, he's just, let's
51:16
just compete.
51:17
Let's do everything.
51:18
But, you know, China, you guys don't know
51:20
what you're talking about.
51:21
Look, go look at Africa.
51:22
You don't want China in your country.
51:24
You don't want to do business with China.
51:27
That's just, you don't want that.
51:28
You want, you would rather have the Chinese
51:30
run the world over us?
51:31
I don't think so.
51:33
I think he's truly trying to make this
51:35
work.
51:36
I don't know if it's possible, but I
51:38
think it's worth a shot.
51:39
He's got a lot of, you got No
51:41
King's Day, and you got all the rest
51:43
of it.
51:44
He's doing what he can do.
51:46
No King's Day.
51:48
What a dud.
51:48
What a dud that was.
51:50
It was a dud.
51:53
Well, you think that would, not according to
51:55
the Brits?
51:57
You mean the British media?
51:59
If you have time to change topics.
52:00
Yeah, BBC.
52:02
I want to play the BBC, some BBC
52:04
stuff here, including their analysis of the parade,
52:09
which was in competition with no King's peaceful
52:13
protests.
52:14
Let me find the right clip to start
52:16
with.
52:16
Here we go.
52:17
Let's start with BBC, says the Trump parade
52:20
was a no-show.
52:22
President Trump has hosted a massive military parade
52:25
in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 250th
52:28
anniversary of the U.S. Army.
52:30
The parade told the story of the military
52:33
from the Battle of Lexington until the present
52:36
day.
52:36
It included thousands of troops, tanks and military
52:39
equipment and flyovers and ended with a fireworks
52:42
display and a concert.
52:44
In his speech, Mr. Trump...
52:46
Do you think the Brits are a little
52:47
sour about the whole Battle of Lexington thing,
52:50
maybe?
52:50
Is that maybe why they're...
52:52
I don't know.
52:52
Are you playing this report and you get
52:54
your eyes will roll?
52:56
...and ended with a fireworks display and a
52:59
concert.
53:00
In his speech, Mr. Trump paid tribute to
53:03
those who fought for America throughout the years.
53:06
Time and again, America's enemies have learned that
53:09
if you threaten the American people, our soldiers
53:12
are coming for you.
53:14
Your defeat will be certain.
53:15
Your demise will be final and your downfall
53:18
will be total and complete because our soldiers
53:23
never give up, never surrender and never, ever
53:27
quit.
53:27
They fight, fight, fight and they win, win,
53:30
win.
53:33
Our North America correspondent Normia Iqbal was at
53:37
the parade and she joins me now live
53:39
from Washington.
53:40
Did they say, did the BBC guys say
53:43
Mr. Trump instead of President Trump?
53:46
I missed it if they did.
53:47
I think so.
53:48
Could be, could be.
53:49
Very typical.
53:50
Normia, what can you tell us?
53:52
What did it look like?
53:53
It was quite the spectacle, there's no doubt.
53:55
And I think there was something quite strange
53:58
seeing armored vehicles and tanks sort of rolling
54:03
down the streets in D.C. It really
54:06
had everything.
54:07
You had thousands of soldiers in historical uniforms,
54:11
there was flyover, there were even robot dogs.
54:14
And there were, there were crowds here but
54:17
the Trump administration is claiming up to 250
54:20
,000 people here.
54:21
We know Donald Trump loves crowd sizes but
54:23
there definitely wasn't that number here.
54:24
It was pretty overcast.
54:26
There were a few thousand here.
54:27
There were lots of empty seats where I'm
54:29
stood right now on the Mall just in
54:30
front of me.
54:31
You know, there weren't a lot of people
54:32
here.
54:34
I always loved the...
54:36
There were a few thousand.
54:37
I always loved the grammar.
54:39
There were a few thousand where I stood
54:40
here or where you stand or where you
54:43
were standing.
54:44
The seats were empty, there were just a
54:46
few thousand.
54:47
Yeah, no one was there, no.
54:48
This is bullcrap.
54:50
There was very little television coverage for sure.
54:53
And I will say that it did not
54:55
look as good as it could have because
54:58
of the overcast sky.
54:59
That definitely...
55:01
Well, it didn't rain.
55:01
It didn't rain but it didn't make it
55:03
look, I think, the way that the president
55:05
would have wanted it to look.
55:08
But they make it sound nobody showed up.
55:10
Well, of course.
55:11
Because, you know, they're all protesting and in
55:13
fact, you can play the clip.
55:14
Here's the BBC on the No King's Peaceful
55:17
Protest.
55:18
Mass protests.
55:19
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
55:20
Go to the Parade 2 part because I...
55:23
Actually, let me play this.
55:26
Play Parade 2 Birthday and then I want
55:30
to play a couple other clips.
55:31
It was Parade 2 Birthday 3.
55:34
Is that the one you want?
55:35
Yes.
55:36
It's a little confusing.
55:37
Donald Trump sees the military and his command
55:40
of it as a sign of his own
55:41
strength and he's been flexing that from coast
55:44
to coast.
55:44
Yeah, and it is, of course, Mr Trump's
55:46
birthday.
55:47
It is, but he claims that's just a
55:50
coincidence.
55:51
Although, again, you know, those who are against
55:54
the president will not buy that.
55:56
And interestingly, at the start of the parade,
55:59
when he took to the platform and there
56:02
was the Hail the Chief and a group
56:05
singing him Happy Birthday, like a mini choir,
56:07
wasn't quite clear who they were singing Happy
56:09
Birthday to.
56:11
Him, the army.
56:13
I mean, it coincidentally fell on his birthday,
56:18
but for his critics, they believe that that's
56:20
no coincidence.
56:22
No coincidence, his birthday.
56:24
It's no coincidence that his birthday fell on
56:28
the 250th anniversary of the founding of the
56:31
US Army.
56:32
It's a coincidence.
56:33
He was planned.
56:34
He was a planned baby.
56:35
He was planned.
56:36
Birthday one, PBS.
56:38
Hold on a second.
56:41
The occasion, the US Army's 250th birthday, which
56:44
happens to coincide with President Trump's own birthday.
56:48
Make a point.
56:49
Birthday two, PBS.
56:50
How did his vision for a Bastille Day
56:52
-style parade evolve into this event, marking the
56:56
Army's 250th anniversary, which also happens to fall
56:59
on President Trump's own birthday?
57:00
How did he do it?
57:01
How did he do it?
57:03
It fell, unbelievable.
57:04
It fell on his birthday.
57:06
Here's birthday false comparison.
57:09
How is the Pentagon responding to concerns that
57:12
the military is being politicized?
57:14
There are critics who have compared this parade
57:15
to authoritarian spectacles, the types you see in
57:18
China, Russia, North Korea.
57:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
57:23
We had a No King's Day in Fredericksburg,
57:26
and there was about...
57:27
Oh, did you take photos?
57:29
Oh, there's tons, tons of video and photos.
57:32
And so they're all standing outside the courthouse,
57:38
which is actually no longer the courthouse.
57:39
I think they've turned it into a library,
57:41
which...
57:42
Yeah, that's the same thing up in Port
57:43
Angeles.
57:43
They stand in front of some...
57:45
Yeah, or actually maybe storage, and they're planning
57:47
to expand the library there.
57:49
But there's only like six people in Port
57:50
Angeles that do this.
57:51
Well...
57:52
The same six old farts.
57:53
There were probably 50 to 100.
57:56
Yeah, it was quite a few.
57:57
And they all were waving...
57:58
Yeah, they were.
57:59
Oh, yeah.
57:59
They were all waving American flags, and they
58:01
all held up signs that said, Happy birthday.
58:06
I hope it's your last.
58:09
What?
58:10
Yeah, yeah.
58:11
I'd get the Secret Service on that person.
58:14
Wow.
58:15
They're threatening the president, calling for his death.
58:18
That's what it sounds like.
58:21
That's okay.
58:22
Whatever.
58:23
It's fine.
58:24
Now, the last BBC clip is the one
58:27
on No King's peaceful protest.
58:29
Peaceful, very peaceful.
58:29
Mass protests against the Trump administration taking place
58:34
across the US.
58:35
The organizers of the No King's rallies accused
58:38
Mr. Trump of overstepping his presidential powers.
58:41
Some of the anger has been sparked by
58:43
recent raids and arrests by immigration officials across
58:47
the country.
58:48
Right now, I think our constitutional rights are
58:51
being violated.
58:51
Stepped on, trampled on, and disregarded by President
58:54
Donald Trump.
58:55
Everything looks unlawful to me at this point
58:58
in America.
58:59
I believe that Donald Trump is destroying our
59:01
country.
59:02
He has sold out democracy to the highest
59:05
bidder.
59:06
He is really only in this for himself.
59:11
The events of the past week have been
59:14
distressing, to say the least.
59:16
I don't like the reach that the current
59:18
administration has over our country.
59:21
Some of the biggest protests are in Los
59:24
Angeles, from where I'm joined by our North
59:27
America correspondent, John Sudworth.
59:29
John, we're seeing video of police really facing
59:33
off against protesters.
59:34
What's the mood like?
59:36
Yeah, so in the last hour and a
59:38
half or so, it's turned slightly more confrontational.
59:41
I've just seen at the top of the
59:43
street, probably 30, 40 meters from where I'm
59:47
standing, the police moving forward on horseback and
59:51
pushing the crowd away from that junction.
59:54
A couple of loud bangs, hard to know
59:56
from here.
59:57
No sign of tear gas, so that's possibly
59:58
rubber bullets they're firing as they're doing that
1:00:00
too.
1:00:02
The junction I'm on is relatively peaceful.
1:00:05
There's a line of LAPD, riot police helmets
1:00:08
on, holding their batons.
1:00:09
A couple of them have the baton round
1:00:12
guns, those rubber bullet guns as well.
1:00:15
But surrounding them and on all sides of
1:00:17
this junction, a big, largely peaceful crowd.
1:00:21
I mean, noisy, but peaceful, if you know
1:00:23
what I mean.
1:00:24
But you know, it was largely peaceful.
1:00:27
And I combed through, I mean, fast forwarded
1:00:32
through hours and hours of recorded footage trying
1:00:36
to find someone who had a message and
1:00:39
it was all kind of the same.
1:00:40
It was just like, I don't like Trump.
1:00:44
Yeah, Trump sucks.
1:00:44
Yeah, I mean, here's an example.
1:00:45
This came from Rebel News.
1:00:46
The problem that we're having now is even
1:00:49
if Donald Trump is not in office, is
1:00:52
that the 38% of Republicans that would
1:00:55
still support him is a cult.
1:00:57
This is a brainwashed cult that we are
1:01:00
dealing with.
1:01:01
And they need an intervention.
1:01:06
Okay, and if there's nothing else, I think
1:01:09
the only thing that Trump has been successful
1:01:12
at in this whole past 10 years is
1:01:15
that he's been the most successful cult leader
1:01:18
on the planet ever.
1:01:20
Because he's got- I am what I
1:01:22
say you are.
1:01:23
What you say about yourself, it gets better.
1:01:25
In spite of all the disgusting things that
1:01:29
he's done, he made fun of a disabled
1:01:32
reporter.
1:01:34
That's her one thing, by the way.
1:01:36
That old trope.
1:01:37
Of all the disgusting things he's done, made
1:01:40
fun of a disabled reporter.
1:01:42
And that's all she has, believe me.
1:01:43
All the disgusting things that he's done.
1:01:46
He made fun of a disabled reporter.
1:01:54
I mean, I'm not even going to give
1:01:56
you the litany of all the disgusting things
1:01:58
he's done.
1:01:59
I'm not going to give you the litany.
1:02:01
It's beneath me to talk about things I
1:02:03
can't really remember.
1:02:04
The word sound- Hold it, stop, stop.
1:02:07
I want to revisit the disabled reporter thing.
1:02:11
So let's go back in time when this
1:02:13
happened.
1:02:14
This happened before the 2016 election.
1:02:16
Trump used to do a spaz guy.
1:02:19
It used to be part of his act.
1:02:21
Yes, he did.
1:02:22
He would just spaz, do a spastic kind
1:02:24
of a thing.
1:02:25
It was kind of a joke to him.
1:02:27
And so the Democrats had set him up
1:02:31
with a disabled reporter asking a question, knowing,
1:02:36
because it was a leading question, the kind
1:02:37
of question that he- where Trump did
1:02:39
the spastic character, you know, as a joke,
1:02:43
not knowing that the reporter was disabled.
1:02:46
And so he did the bit.
1:02:47
And so then they said, look what he
1:02:48
did.
1:02:49
He mocked the disabled reporter.
1:02:52
This whole thing was a complete setup.
1:02:54
And by the way, Trump never did that
1:02:56
bit again.
1:02:58
That was the last time he ever did
1:02:59
it because he got had by being too
1:03:03
glib and not paying attention.
1:03:05
But that was such nonsense.
1:03:07
But it's structured.
1:03:09
You know, the Democrats have their thing, they
1:03:11
have their methodology, and this is part of
1:03:13
it.
1:03:14
And having stupid people, like the woman you
1:03:17
just played, is part of the way it
1:03:19
works.
1:03:20
She's not done because what- you're right,
1:03:21
what she's saying- She's not done.
1:03:23
No, she's not done.
1:03:25
She is literally portraying a brainwashed person.
1:03:30
And I'm not saying that it's avoidable for
1:03:34
her, but that's the brainwashing that she received.
1:03:38
And she holds on to that one thing.
1:03:40
And it's beneath her to go through the
1:03:42
whole litany of disgusting things President Trump has
1:03:44
done because he is only a cult leader.
1:03:47
38% of Americans are cultists.
1:03:50
They're just cultists and cannot see that maybe
1:03:53
she's the one in the cult.
1:03:55
He made fun of a disabled reporter.
1:04:03
I'm not even going to give you the
1:04:04
litany of all the disgusting things he's done.
1:04:08
The word salad, the verbal diarrhea that comes
1:04:11
out of his mouth, and these people are
1:04:13
still sucking up every single word that he
1:04:16
says.
1:04:19
I mean, it's like normal people, people with
1:04:23
any kind of character, would not support a
1:04:27
man like that.
1:04:28
So this has gone beyond normal people.
1:04:32
This is in the realm of cult.
1:04:36
What would you say to a Republican?
1:04:38
What would I say?
1:04:39
I would say turn off Fox News, turn
1:04:42
off right wing media, find out what he
1:04:45
is doing.
1:04:46
But it's very hard to speak sense to
1:04:49
a lot of these people.
1:04:51
They need psychiatric help.
1:04:53
There needs to be, in order to bring
1:04:56
these people back to reality, back to decency,
1:05:00
they need some kind of help or intervention
1:05:04
to get them out of the cult.
1:05:06
What's interesting is that we have not seen
1:05:10
violence from red-hatted MAGA cult members.
1:05:16
Have we?
1:05:17
Is there something?
1:05:18
Am I misremembering?
1:05:20
No, no.
1:05:21
So the only violence...
1:05:24
Jussie Smollett.
1:05:27
Those guys had a red hat.
1:05:28
Yeah, they had red hats.
1:05:30
It was the black red hat wearers.
1:05:32
Yes, exactly.
1:05:34
So, you know, it pains me that, because
1:05:38
when you are in this mode, when you
1:05:41
say, well, they're in the cult and you
1:05:43
can't reach inside yourself and say, you know,
1:05:47
you just got to stop watching right wing
1:05:50
media, stop watching Fox News.
1:05:52
Well, what do you think you're consuming?
1:05:57
That just does not enter their minds.
1:06:00
And it's too bad.
1:06:02
I mean, we've always had a healthy discourse
1:06:05
between left and right, Republican and Democrat.
1:06:08
And it's just, I don't know if it's
1:06:11
repairable.
1:06:13
You know, because people on the right just
1:06:16
say, you guys are libtards, you're no good,
1:06:18
you're nut jobs, you're crazy.
1:06:20
Libtard is my favorite.
1:06:20
Yeah, you know, that's not necessarily helpful either.
1:06:24
I'm not convinced over time I've done this
1:06:26
show long enough and then I also have
1:06:30
my background in history.
1:06:33
I'm not convinced that this hasn't always been
1:06:35
the case.
1:06:36
And there's nothing new here.
1:06:38
Well, this is not like a schism that
1:06:40
just formed.
1:06:41
No, you're right.
1:06:42
It's been exaggerated by Fox because Fox News
1:06:44
is the first, actually Rush Limbaugh started it.
1:06:48
He's the first guy that showed up with
1:06:49
a perspective that was honest, right wing, on
1:06:54
radio, got a big huge following to the
1:06:56
point where he got a $400 million contract
1:06:58
just to yack, yack, yack.
1:07:01
And then Fox...
1:07:03
That irks you, doesn't it?
1:07:07
It irks you, yes.
1:07:09
Well, but so what has changed...
1:07:11
Not as much as Rachel Maddow getting $25
1:07:14
million to work one day a week.
1:07:16
But John, you show up with TikTok clips
1:07:18
of nut jobs, which you call nut jobs,
1:07:20
and it's just people on the left, you
1:07:22
know, okay, they don't have a red hat,
1:07:24
they have blue hair.
1:07:25
And you make fun of them.
1:07:27
So, you know, everyone's...
1:07:28
Well, it's because it's amusing to me.
1:07:30
I understand.
1:07:32
But the thing that has changed is media,
1:07:35
social and mainstream.
1:07:37
There's more of it.
1:07:38
We see more of it.
1:07:39
We're more inundated by it.
1:07:42
It hits all of the pleasure centers.
1:07:46
Oh, there's more.
1:07:47
Oh, there's...
1:07:48
I can see someone's fighting.
1:07:49
Just scroll on X.
1:07:51
Every third video is someone beating somebody else.
1:07:55
It's a lot of beat up videos.
1:07:57
Look at this.
1:07:58
They're beating each other up at the Chick
1:08:01
-fil-A.
1:08:02
It's, you know, that's...
1:08:03
Exactly.
1:08:04
A lot of that.
1:08:05
Oh, there's black girls fighting in a fast
1:08:09
food restaurant.
1:08:10
There's black girls pulling hair, pulling wigs off.
1:08:13
I know.
1:08:14
And that is the scourge.
1:08:17
That is what is killing us.
1:08:19
On the inside, it's eating our souls.
1:08:22
It really is.
1:08:23
It could be feeding our souls, for all
1:08:25
you know.
1:08:25
Yeah.
1:08:26
This is just one perspective that you have.
1:08:28
Yeah.
1:08:28
Okay.
1:08:28
All right.
1:08:29
Since I've known you, I've never known you
1:08:32
to be just so joyous about nut jobs
1:08:35
on TikTok.
1:08:36
You're like, I love this.
1:08:37
This is great.
1:08:38
This is this crazy person.
1:08:41
That's what TikTok has done.
1:08:42
It's ruined my friend John C.
1:08:44
Dvorak.
1:08:45
So now I will take this to the
1:08:48
next level, which I thought was a very
1:08:49
interesting analysis.
1:08:51
Back to China?
1:08:52
Yes.
1:08:52
By none other than the Cuomo kid, Chris
1:08:56
Cuomo, who for all I know could be
1:08:58
doing this as a paid job by the
1:09:00
State Department.
1:09:01
I don't know.
1:09:03
If that was discovered, like all of a
1:09:06
sudden we now discovered that Mike Myers the
1:09:08
comic was working for the CIA or whatever
1:09:10
for all these years.
1:09:11
Nothing would surprise me.
1:09:14
Right.
1:09:15
Exactly.
1:09:16
Nothing should surprise you when it comes to
1:09:19
Intel.
1:09:20
Yeah.
1:09:20
Now this is about the Los Angeles protests.
1:09:25
These protests are fed by dark sources with
1:09:28
a desire for our destruction.
1:09:31
One of the main players in organizing and
1:09:33
funding the Los Angeles protests is a group
1:09:35
called CHIRLA, C-H-I-R-L-A,
1:09:39
acronym Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights.
1:09:42
They have received millions in government grants and
1:09:44
state grants.
1:09:45
But now reports are showing that there may
1:09:48
be a foreign link, specifically from China, funding
1:09:53
and organizing these protests.
1:09:56
The pro-Chinese far-left Party for Socialism
1:09:59
and Liberation.
1:10:01
They're known as the PSL.
1:10:02
They are working with CHIRLA, helping fund the
1:10:06
protests in Los Angeles and maybe elsewhere.
1:10:09
Remember, all the parties in China are controlled
1:10:11
by the CCP.
1:10:13
So this is China.
1:10:14
And the party is pushing to destroy capitalism
1:10:17
and the West.
1:10:18
This is its agenda.
1:10:20
This is what China wants.
1:10:22
They even have a term for the effort.
1:10:24
It's called the smokeless war, where they have
1:10:27
this theory of how they'll destroy the West
1:10:29
without actually taking to the battlefield.
1:10:31
That's what they did during the anti-Israel
1:10:34
campus protests.
1:10:35
The PSL worked hand in glove with anti
1:10:38
-Zionist student groups and helped organize and fund
1:10:41
the Columbia campus encampments.
1:10:43
By the way, I could totally buy this
1:10:46
theory.
1:10:47
I think the fentanyl and opioids and all
1:10:51
this stuff, you know, the Chinese are still
1:10:53
mad about the opioid wars.
1:10:56
Yeah, they are.
1:10:57
Fungus, smuggling fungus.
1:10:58
What they should be mad at, the Brits,
1:11:00
not us.
1:11:00
We didn't do it.
1:11:01
Smuggling fungus into America.
1:11:04
It's very possible.
1:11:06
But wait, it gets even scarier.
1:11:09
Now it gets scarier.
1:11:11
Where does the PSL get its money?
1:11:14
Enter Shanghai-based socialist billionaire Neville Singham.
1:11:19
2017, he sold his tech company for about
1:11:22
a billion.
1:11:23
Reports show the same year he started funding
1:11:25
far-left groups like the PSL to the
1:11:27
tune of millions.
1:11:29
Millions.
1:11:30
Singham is not America's friend.
1:11:32
He has deep business ties to the CCP,
1:11:35
but also has strong ideological ties to communism,
1:11:39
period.
1:11:40
People who worked for him says he's an
1:11:42
admirer of Mao, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez.
1:11:46
Not friends of American culture.
1:11:49
According to the New York Times, Singham has
1:11:51
funded and developed a deep global empire of
1:11:54
pro-China nonprofits in the media and grassroots
1:11:56
political space, steering millions into these groups over
1:12:00
the years, including the PSL.
1:12:03
And guess who was associated with the PSL
1:12:05
and other Singham-funded groups?
1:12:08
Elias Rodriguez.
1:12:10
Ring a bell?
1:12:12
This scumbag.
1:12:13
The 30-year-old Chicago man who murdered
1:12:15
two Israeli staffers in cold blood last month.
1:12:18
Oh, man, it's too complicated.
1:12:21
Well, the Singham guy is great.
1:12:24
I mean, he is something, people should look
1:12:26
him up and read his bio in Wiki.
1:12:29
His name is Neville Singham.
1:12:31
It's S-I-N-G-H-A-M.
1:12:34
He's from Sri Lanka, half Cuban, half Sri
1:12:37
Lankan.
1:12:39
Communist, not blatant communist.
1:12:41
He lives in Shanghai, China.
1:12:44
I think he's still an American citizen.
1:12:46
Married to the founder of Code Pink.
1:12:50
No.
1:12:52
Yes.
1:12:53
Not that lady.
1:12:55
Yeah, the crazy lady.
1:12:57
What's her name again?
1:12:59
I can't remember her name offhand, but she's,
1:13:01
you know, showed up for everything.
1:13:02
She's like a dirty trickster, like a Dick
1:13:05
Tuck Segretti type person.
1:13:09
Oh, no, no, it's Jody Evans.
1:13:11
That's not the same one.
1:13:12
That's not the one you're thinking of.
1:13:15
I'm thinking of the founder of Code Pink.
1:13:16
No, no, he is married to Code Pink
1:13:18
co-founder Jody Evans.
1:13:21
You're thinking of the other lady.
1:13:24
He's not married to her.
1:13:25
Jody Evans is just, you think there's a
1:13:28
difference between the two women in terms of
1:13:30
their being nuts?
1:13:31
No, I'm just differentiating.
1:13:35
It's Medea Benjamin.
1:13:37
That's the one you're thinking of.
1:13:39
Yes, you're thinking of her.
1:13:41
Oh, okay.
1:13:43
But this Singham guy is like, he's just
1:13:45
basically a communist.
1:13:47
I mean, he's not even...
1:13:48
He's not hiding it.
1:13:50
Not hiding it.
1:13:50
He's in Shanghai and he works for the
1:13:52
CCP and they're probably funneling money through him.
1:13:56
It's probably not even that much of his
1:13:57
money.
1:13:57
And yeah, he's subversive and he's got all
1:14:00
these phony baloney organizations under his wing.
1:14:03
He's worse than Soros at the moment.
1:14:05
Yeah.
1:14:05
Who just got married, I hear?
1:14:08
Alex.
1:14:08
Soros?
1:14:09
And Alex got married to Uma.
1:14:11
Oh, Alex.
1:14:11
Yeah, he got married to Uma.
1:14:14
Oh, he did.
1:14:15
That's good.
1:14:16
That's a couple of two beards.
1:14:20
Two beards.
1:14:21
Show title.
1:14:22
Okay, I'm right.
1:14:23
Two beards.
1:14:24
So let's play the USAID in Hungary.
1:14:27
This came up.
1:14:27
This is on one of these podcast reports.
1:14:30
This is interesting.
1:14:30
We have to look forward to this.
1:14:32
Hold on a second.
1:14:33
I'm looking for it.
1:14:35
USAID, you said?
1:14:36
Oh, I got it.
1:14:37
Here we go.
1:14:37
The Hungarian government has announced that they will
1:14:39
be releasing a documentary exposing the USAID scandal.
1:14:43
The movie will focus on revealing how USAID
1:14:45
funneled millions of dollars into ideological movements in
1:14:50
their country.
1:14:50
They claim that political organizations and liberal media,
1:14:54
which claim to be independent, received money through
1:14:57
USAID to promote Democrat agendas such as illegal
1:15:01
migration, transgenders, and war stances.
1:15:04
Orban's government says USAID is working with George
1:15:07
Soros's Open Society Foundations in the plot.
1:15:11
You know, the only thing I'm a little
1:15:13
tired of is, like, Fredericksburg, Soros, Soros, Soros.
1:15:22
The Open Society Institute is so big.
1:15:27
I mean, Soros doesn't even have to think
1:15:29
about it anymore.
1:15:31
No, it runs on its own.
1:15:32
It's an infrastructure that's been in place for
1:15:34
decades.
1:15:35
It's worldwide.
1:15:36
It's like jumping off a motorcycle.
1:15:38
Oh, really?
1:15:39
Jump off a motorcycle, the thing will go
1:15:41
a mile.
1:15:42
Right.
1:15:44
Balancing itself.
1:15:45
Yeah.
1:15:46
Good point.
1:15:48
You know, it's OSI, Open Society Institute.
1:15:51
And it's just a great place to donate
1:15:55
money so that you can enrich yourself by,
1:15:59
A, deducting that from your income tax, and
1:16:01
B, you know, helping to stir things up.
1:16:03
It's not even Soros.
1:16:05
Soros, as far as I know, he's in
1:16:06
the cryogenic chamber.
1:16:08
The guy is 100 years old.
1:16:10
Yes, I know.
1:16:11
If you've seen him speak within the last
1:16:12
year or two, he can barely get a
1:16:14
word out.
1:16:14
Can't get anything out.
1:16:17
And Alex, I have my doubts about that
1:16:21
guy being any kind of powerhouse like his
1:16:23
dad.
1:16:24
He seems like a beta male.
1:16:27
It seems like.
1:16:28
I think you called it two beards.
1:16:30
You nailed it.
1:16:31
And a beard.
1:16:32
And, you know, who would get married to
1:16:34
Uma Abedin?
1:16:34
That's like, you got to watch your six
1:16:36
all the time.
1:16:38
Your six.
1:16:39
There you go again with that phrase.
1:16:42
Watching too many TV shows.
1:16:44
Watch your six, man.
1:16:46
Yeah.
1:16:48
No, no, no.
1:16:52
Hey, we're being accused of being boomers.
1:16:54
Yeah, you know what?
1:16:55
You should listen.
1:16:55
We are boomers.
1:16:56
Yeah, you should listen to your elders.
1:16:58
Hey, you guys are boomers, really?
1:17:00
You should listen to your elders.
1:17:01
Thanks for the accusation.
1:17:04
We're boomers and you're a dipshit.
1:17:07
How about that?
1:17:08
Nailed it.
1:17:12
The one thing is no one can ever
1:17:13
accuse us of not speaking our mind and
1:17:16
saying what we think it is, right, wrong,
1:17:18
or indifferent.
1:17:18
At least we have an opinion.
1:17:21
And we're right almost all the time because
1:17:23
that's the funny thing about being a boomer.
1:17:26
Oh, is that so?
1:17:27
Does that give you instant I'm right credits?
1:17:30
No, no.
1:17:30
It's just from years and years and years
1:17:32
and years and years of experience.
1:17:37
Well, we weren't right about the former governor
1:17:41
of New York.
1:17:42
You know, we were pretty sure he killed
1:17:44
all those seniors in the nursing home.
1:17:48
Go in there and choke them out.
1:17:51
Well, he has evidence that he did a
1:17:54
good job.
1:17:54
Some people have criticized your leadership during COVID,
1:17:57
specifically when it comes to the nursing home
1:18:00
crisis.
1:18:00
How do you answer that question?
1:18:01
First of all, New Yorkers are going to
1:18:04
criticize whatever you do.
1:18:06
On nursing homes, it became a political football
1:18:09
four years ago.
1:18:11
We now have had a number of reports
1:18:13
that have gone all through it.
1:18:16
And it has been proven to have been
1:18:19
politicized.
1:18:20
The Department of Justice Inspector General said they
1:18:23
played politics with the issue.
1:18:25
And then when you look at it at
1:18:27
the end of the day, and they have
1:18:28
all the final numbers.
1:18:30
New York is number 38 in what's called
1:18:34
the rate of death for every 1000 people
1:18:36
in a nursing home.
1:18:37
We're number 38.
1:18:39
New York is number 38 out of 50
1:18:41
states.
1:18:42
We're great.
1:18:43
Which means only 12 states had a lower
1:18:46
rate of death.
1:18:47
Which is really incredible.
1:18:49
When you come to New York, you'll die
1:18:51
less.
1:18:51
You think about it.
1:18:52
We had it first.
1:18:53
We had it worst.
1:18:54
We didn't know what it was.
1:18:56
And it's a tribute to the women and
1:18:58
men who worked in our healthcare system and
1:19:01
kept it down that low that only 12
1:19:04
states.
1:19:05
We saw your mobile morgues.
1:19:08
They were empty.
1:19:09
The hospitals were empty.
1:19:10
There was nothing.
1:19:11
Had a lower rate of death and they
1:19:13
had more time to get ready.
1:19:16
We were hit by surprise.
1:19:18
No, they did an extraordinary job.
1:19:21
And yes, there was a lot of politics
1:19:23
in the beginning.
1:19:24
And Trump was blaming us.
1:19:25
And we were blaming Trump.
1:19:26
No he wasn't.
1:19:27
Four years later.
1:19:28
Trump wasn't blaming anybody.
1:19:29
Trump brought in hospital ships.
1:19:31
Trump was the.
1:19:32
Yeah, he wasn't blaming anyone.
1:19:38
Facts and.
1:19:40
Another thing to think about.
1:19:41
New Yorkers did a great job and we
1:19:44
led the nation.
1:19:45
When nobody knew what it was, Dan, we
1:19:48
were on the front line and we stood
1:19:50
up and we handled it.
1:19:52
We were leading the nation by offering people
1:19:55
burgers and fries in exchange for a shot.
1:19:58
We were first people.
1:20:00
That was us.
1:20:01
Dope.
1:20:03
That if that guy gets gets elected mayor,
1:20:06
I don't know.
1:20:08
It's hopeless back there.
1:20:10
Yeah, he'll get elected.
1:20:11
You know, they always I heard of him.
1:20:13
I mean, yeah, maybe he gets in.
1:20:16
Yeah, this guy.
1:20:17
Oh, yeah, he's good.
1:20:19
That's possible.
1:20:20
Oh, brother.
1:20:21
If he gets elected, it wouldn't surprise me
1:20:23
in the least.
1:20:27
So speaking of Trump being a horrible dictator,
1:20:30
we have in addition to the big, beautiful
1:20:34
bill, which is just got Colorado up in
1:20:37
arms.
1:20:38
Colorado's Democratic delegation blasting a proposal today, they
1:20:42
say, would hurt Colorado's outdoor lifestyle.
1:20:45
I love the last thing is going to
1:20:47
hurt Colorado's outdoor lifestyle.
1:20:49
How's that work?
1:20:50
Were they going to shut down the sun?
1:20:52
I was talking to Bill Gates.
1:20:54
Lifestyle, a new provision added to the budget
1:20:57
reconciliation or big, beautiful bill would require the
1:21:00
BLM and U.S. Forest Service to sell
1:21:02
millions of acres of public lands to build
1:21:05
housing.
1:21:06
Public lands matter.
1:21:08
Yes, Colorado, Colorado.
1:21:10
They make the West the West.
1:21:12
But which lands?
1:21:13
Lawmakers ended the call before taking that question
1:21:15
for me.
1:21:16
So I followed up with an email and
1:21:17
Senator Michael Bennett's office responded, saying that because
1:21:20
areas with oil and gas grazing or mining
1:21:23
permits could not be sold, recreation areas would
1:21:26
be at risk.
1:21:26
Places like 18 Road in Fruita, Hartman Rocks
1:21:30
in Gunnison or Animas City Mountain in Durango.
1:21:33
What might seem like a barren parcel on
1:21:35
a senator's desk on a map is actually
1:21:37
a place where Coloradans hike, camp, hunt, ATV,
1:21:41
climb and so much more.
1:21:42
Jessica Turner, president of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable,
1:21:45
says there's already a mechanism to sell or
1:21:47
lease federal land for housing.
1:21:49
We don't need a whole new.
1:21:50
By the way, this woman who's in charge
1:21:53
of whatever this thing is, she is so
1:21:56
she's inside her house and she's on her
1:21:58
computer.
1:21:59
She has, you know, those rich lady clothes,
1:22:02
the ones that are couture and they're made
1:22:05
of always thick material.
1:22:07
You know, like and it's pink and it's
1:22:11
thick and then you look at her and
1:22:12
her living room has like Baroque furniture.
1:22:15
It looks like my first wife's living room,
1:22:17
honestly, Baroque furniture and just, you know, she's
1:22:20
she just oozes wealth.
1:22:23
That takes away those safeguards.
1:22:25
She's a hiker.
1:22:26
No, she does not look like a hiker
1:22:28
at all.
1:22:29
No, I would call her a Brahmin American.
1:22:32
You know, we have a class of society.
1:22:34
It's it's people like this.
1:22:36
I mean, seriously, it's people like this.
1:22:39
You know, it's our version of Brahmins who
1:22:42
are upper middle class to just upper class.
1:22:45
And and they know everything and they understand
1:22:48
everything better.
1:22:48
And for God's sake, man, who's going to
1:22:52
clean my toilet?
1:22:53
You've got to keep the illegals here.
1:22:56
But Summers acknowledges tourism and recreation in Colorado
1:22:59
are also hugely important to our economy and
1:23:02
anything that would impact that, including the sale
1:23:04
of federal lands, would have to be analyzed
1:23:06
further.
1:23:07
Right now, one thing we do know, the
1:23:09
bill couldn't touch some of our state's landmarks.
1:23:12
It does stipulate that no protected areas.
1:23:14
So a national park, a national monument, a
1:23:17
well-seen river, those would not be part
1:23:19
of this proposal.
1:23:20
So I look at this proposal and what
1:23:23
percentage do you think is proposed in this
1:23:26
amendment to the big, beautiful bill to what
1:23:30
percentage of Colorado land will be sold off?
1:23:36
Five.
1:23:37
Zero point seven five percent.
1:23:40
What?
1:23:40
Yes.
1:23:42
In fact, it says zero point.
1:23:44
It says between zero point five and zero
1:23:46
point seven five percent.
1:23:49
But we got to blast him.
1:23:51
It's not.
1:23:52
It's nothing.
1:23:54
It's not.
1:23:55
It's nothing.
1:23:57
Yeah.
1:23:58
Interesting.
1:23:59
Yeah.
1:23:59
Yeah.
1:24:00
OK.
1:24:00
Well, talk about since you're on Colorado, I
1:24:02
get my two Colorado clips.
1:24:04
You got Colorado clips.
1:24:05
Something screwy is going on or these clips
1:24:08
wouldn't exist.
1:24:09
And here they are.
1:24:10
Colorado clip one.
1:24:11
NPR has learned the Department of Justice has
1:24:14
made it.
1:24:14
Where's Scott Scheinman?
1:24:16
Is he on vacation?
1:24:17
Scott Scheinman.
1:24:17
Scott Scheinman.
1:24:18
Is he on vacation?
1:24:19
He's only working.
1:24:19
No, he works weekends.
1:24:20
Weekends.
1:24:21
With that black screechy girl.
1:24:24
NPR has learned the Department of Justice has
1:24:27
made a sweeping demand for Colorado's election records.
1:24:31
NPR's Jude Joffrey Block Report's documents show the
1:24:34
DOJ asked Colorado to turn over all records
1:24:37
from the twenty twenty four federal elections and
1:24:39
to preserve any records it still has from
1:24:41
twenty twenty.
1:24:42
Several voting experts and officials told NPR that
1:24:44
broad of a request is highly unusual and
1:24:47
concerning.
1:24:48
Given President Trump's false claims, false claims, false,
1:24:51
false claims about elections.
1:24:53
Jenna Griswold is Colorado's Democratic secretary of state.
1:24:56
We are seeing them use the apparatus of
1:24:59
the federal government to undermine our elections and
1:25:02
our democracy.
1:25:02
And I would assume that this is more
1:25:04
of the same.
1:25:05
Oh, yeah.
1:25:07
Yeah.
1:25:08
False claims.
1:25:09
False false claims.
1:25:09
False claims.
1:25:10
False claims.
1:25:11
Claims.
1:25:12
Claims that are false.
1:25:12
False claims.
1:25:14
So claims that are false and false claims
1:25:17
are two different phrases and they don't mean
1:25:19
the same thing.
1:25:19
They do not.
1:25:21
So here we end up in the former,
1:25:23
which is claims that are false is more
1:25:27
accurate.
1:25:28
The other one is just propaganda.
1:25:29
When you say false claims is propaganda.
1:25:32
And then this is PBS or NPR is
1:25:34
NPR.
1:25:35
So it's propagandistic.
1:25:36
Yes.
1:25:36
National Propaganda Radio NPR.
1:25:39
OK.
1:25:40
OK.
1:25:40
OK.
1:25:41
OK.
1:25:41
OK.
1:25:41
Right.
1:25:42
So let's play clip two.
1:25:43
The Justice Department indicated it had received a
1:25:46
complaint.
1:25:46
Colorado was not complying with federal record retention
1:25:49
rules.
1:25:50
The department declined to provide additional details.
1:25:54
Yeah, this is obvious.
1:25:56
What's going on is Colorado, I think, is
1:25:59
ground zero for these voting machines, which just
1:26:01
seem to be a mess technically.
1:26:03
Well, Colorado is the first state that tried
1:26:05
to keep Trump off the ballot.
1:26:07
But that's not unconstitutional.
1:26:11
I forgot all about that.
1:26:13
Oh, what an annoying, annoying.
1:26:15
And so Colorado is this and that.
1:26:17
And then when you play the clips about
1:26:19
the 0.07 percent.
1:26:21
Yeah.
1:26:22
Point whatever.
1:26:23
Yeah.
1:26:24
It makes you wonder, wait a minute, is
1:26:26
this Colorado pushing back by the elites, the
1:26:28
woman, the elite woman, the Brahman, which I
1:26:31
like that phrase.
1:26:31
The Brahman American.
1:26:33
Brahman American.
1:26:35
Yeah, it leads, you know, there's elites there.
1:26:38
My buddy is actually going.
1:26:41
There's a lot of elites in Aspen.
1:26:43
And and there's two or three of these
1:26:45
cities in the, you know, the mountain towns.
1:26:48
Aspen's a great one.
1:26:49
Yeah.
1:26:50
Bill Ziff had a place in Aspen.
1:26:51
I visited, so I visited Bill Ziff's place
1:26:54
in Aspen because I was sorting out his
1:26:56
wines.
1:26:56
Yeah.
1:26:57
And I know there's a little bit.
1:26:59
How does that call go?
1:27:01
Hey, hey, Dvorak, come over to Aspen.
1:27:04
I want you to sort out my wine.
1:27:06
So I'm in Aspen going through the place
1:27:08
and there's mousetraps all over the place because
1:27:10
the biggest Aspen is loaded with mice.
1:27:12
And and so I take a look at
1:27:15
the whole operation.
1:27:16
He's got a big indoor pool.
1:27:18
And this is one of these stories.
1:27:20
So there's a big indoor pool.
1:27:24
And and there's a whole bunch of workers
1:27:26
in there and they're over the pool.
1:27:27
They've got a big netting and a bunch
1:27:29
of flowers and some they're putting up a
1:27:32
bunch of, you know, like vines and flowers
1:27:34
or something.
1:27:35
They're all growing live flowers across the top
1:27:38
for the guests.
1:27:40
And they're bringing all these big light light
1:27:42
stanchions.
1:27:43
There's a whole bunch of lights.
1:27:45
And and the lights are underneath the flowers
1:27:48
above the pool and pointing up.
1:27:51
And I said to the guy, what do
1:27:52
you do?
1:27:52
What is the flowers getting enough?
1:27:55
What's the deal with the lights?
1:27:57
And the guy says, well, we put him
1:27:58
here for a couple of weeks and it
1:28:00
gives enough time for the flowers and the
1:28:04
plants to kind of turn toward the light.
1:28:06
So when they have a big pool party
1:28:08
and people look up, they get to see
1:28:11
the flowers.
1:28:11
Oh, that's some Brahman stuff right there.
1:28:14
That's some rich dude stuff.
1:28:16
I shook my eyes and said, wow.
1:28:19
This is a new story.
1:28:20
I didn't know this story.
1:28:22
This is a new one.
1:28:23
Yeah, that's a new one.
1:28:24
That's a good one.
1:28:26
All right, let's let's turn our focus to
1:28:28
Minnesota.
1:28:29
Very, very odd things going on in Minnesota.
1:28:33
Let's get a little background from Good Morning
1:28:35
America.
1:28:36
This morning, an urgent manhunt underway after a
1:28:39
man investigators say was posing as a police
1:28:42
officer allegedly shot and killed a Minnesota lawmaker
1:28:46
and her husband in their home.
1:28:48
Police say the same suspect was involved in
1:28:50
a separate attack just 90 minutes earlier, allegedly
1:28:53
shooting and wounding another lawmaker and his wife.
1:28:56
Suspects posing as police officers shot two victims.
1:29:00
Police responding to reports of gunfire around 2
1:29:03
a.m. Saturday at the home of Democratic
1:29:05
Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, just
1:29:08
outside Minneapolis.
1:29:10
Officers then checking on Democratic former House Speaker
1:29:13
Melissa Hortman and her husband a few miles
1:29:15
away at their Brooklyn Park home, willing to
1:29:18
find the two fatally shot.
1:29:20
They noticed that there was a police vehicle
1:29:21
in the driveway with the lights, emergency lights
1:29:23
on and what appeared to be a police
1:29:25
officer at the door coming out of the
1:29:27
house.
1:29:28
When our officers confronted them, the individual immediately
1:29:32
fired upon the officers who exchanged gunfire and
1:29:35
the suspect retreated back into the home.
1:29:37
This this whole thing.
1:29:39
So I think there's a clip somewhere where
1:29:41
immediately just within hours of it happening.
1:29:48
I was expecting to find a MAGA hat
1:29:50
in the car.
1:29:51
You know, and then they released this the
1:29:54
name of this guy.
1:29:56
And it's all very, very.
1:29:59
The whole thing is super suspicious.
1:30:01
Dubious.
1:30:02
I have the bonus clip.
1:30:03
Well, let me let me let me let
1:30:05
me let me finish this one up and
1:30:06
then we'll get.
1:30:07
I just want to say this has this
1:30:09
is the screwiest, most suspicious.
1:30:12
This is MK Ultra.
1:30:14
I'm with you on that.
1:30:15
Authorities now naming 57 year old Vance Bolter
1:30:18
as the suspect.
1:30:19
Investigators say he was dressed as an officer
1:30:21
wearing a vest, a badge and a taser
1:30:24
and was driving an SUV with police lights.
1:30:27
The FBI releasing images they say are of
1:30:29
him in a cowboy hat and wearing a
1:30:32
latex mask outside one of the victim's homes.
1:30:35
Investigators say they've recovered several firearms from Bolter's
1:30:38
vehicle, along with no King's Flyers and writings
1:30:41
mentioning the names of the victims, some abortion
1:30:44
providers and other Democratic lawmakers.
1:30:47
Sources telling ABC News law enforcement is looking
1:30:49
into whether he may have been motivated by
1:30:52
extreme views on abortion.
1:30:54
And that's kind of new, this extreme views
1:30:57
on abortion that wasn't there in the beginning.
1:31:00
And this video of this guy, undated video,
1:31:03
you know, he was waffling on for about
1:31:05
four minutes.
1:31:06
He's like a guy that picks up dead
1:31:08
bodies and takes him to the morgue.
1:31:10
I have this.
1:31:11
I have the clip of that if you
1:31:13
when you want to get to it.
1:31:14
Yeah, we just do it now.
1:31:15
Is that oh, you got the whole thing.
1:31:18
That's the bonus.
1:31:19
Yes, you're going to have to live with
1:31:20
the whole thing because it's interesting enough.
1:31:23
I couldn't really I could have just clipped
1:31:24
out where you talked about it.
1:31:25
You brought that whole I didn't even clip
1:31:27
it.
1:31:27
It was like this is nothing.
1:31:29
Well, you can run to the beginning of
1:31:31
it because once I can just summarize.
1:31:33
I don't have to play the beginning, but
1:31:35
before you play it, there's a couple of
1:31:38
things I want to note that people should
1:31:40
note this.
1:31:41
When they discuss the cop comes out and
1:31:44
this has been said more than once, he
1:31:47
was 61 inches tall.
1:31:50
That's five one.
1:31:52
He's a midget.
1:31:53
And so no offense to the short and
1:31:55
petite males out there listening to the show.
1:31:57
Interesting.
1:31:57
So do they that's that they always say
1:32:00
instead of saying he's five one, they say
1:32:02
he's 61 inches, which makes him sound like
1:32:05
maybe he's bigger.
1:32:05
Well, you know, when you take a mugshot,
1:32:09
when you take a mugshot.
1:32:11
Yeah, I know you have the inches on
1:32:12
the side inches.
1:32:13
Yes, but when you're in a press conference,
1:32:15
you don't say you don't take people's inches.
1:32:19
Well, the reason I'm getting into it with
1:32:23
you is because that probably means there was
1:32:26
a mugshot of him taken at some point.
1:32:29
Otherwise, why would you even say that?
1:32:31
Well, that's a good point.
1:32:32
Because whenever you see a mugshot, it's always
1:32:35
has inches on the.
1:32:38
Yeah, you have to do the calculation.
1:32:40
And so I don't see where at any
1:32:42
point this guy is some kind of security
1:32:45
guy for some.
1:32:47
Not at five one.
1:32:48
And the other thing is, according to this,
1:32:51
the clip you're going to play, he's married
1:32:53
with five kids.
1:32:55
Yes.
1:32:56
Another one.
1:32:57
Where where's the wife?
1:32:58
Where are the kids?
1:32:59
Well, the wife did show up and they
1:33:00
did.
1:33:01
Somebody did contact her.
1:33:02
But why did it was mentioned that he
1:33:05
had told his two roommates, two dudes that
1:33:09
he was going to be gone for a
1:33:11
while and may end up dead?
1:33:12
This came up in the press conference.
1:33:15
So why is he living with two guys
1:33:17
if he's married with five kids?
1:33:21
Let's listen to a little bit of this
1:33:22
video.
1:33:24
Oh, my name is Vance.
1:33:25
Wait, let me preface the video.
1:33:28
This is this is a from a zoom
1:33:30
call he made.
1:33:32
He was linked.
1:33:32
He's on.
1:33:33
I saw his LinkedIn profile to is a
1:33:36
zoom call he made because he was taking
1:33:37
a class on mortuary services.
1:33:40
It was one of those online classes.
1:33:42
And in those classes, you introduce yourself.
1:33:45
This is his introduction to himself.
1:33:47
I advance no other names that I use.
1:33:51
I live in Greenell, Minnesota, about an hour
1:33:53
away from the Minneapolis, St. Paul area.
1:33:56
I'm affiliated with two funeral homes.
1:33:58
I work full time for Wolf Funeral Home,
1:34:00
which is an intake location for about six
1:34:03
funeral homes.
1:34:04
And we also do all the intake for
1:34:07
the National Cremation Society and the Neptune Society
1:34:12
for all their cremation.
1:34:14
What kind of courses?
1:34:16
What kind of course was he taking if
1:34:18
he already is doing the job?
1:34:20
He's basically a grunt worker picking up dead
1:34:23
bodies.
1:34:23
He's not a he's not a funeral director.
1:34:25
And I think that's what he wanted to
1:34:26
become.
1:34:27
As well, so I mainly do removals at
1:34:31
this point.
1:34:32
So I work at Wolf full time.
1:34:34
And then I also work for another funeral
1:34:36
home called Metro First Call.
1:34:38
And they also do traditional removals at nursing
1:34:42
homes, assisted living apartments.
1:34:44
But they also have contracts with medical examiner's
1:34:48
office.
1:34:48
So like one contract is the Hennepin County
1:34:53
Medical Examiner's Office.
1:34:54
So we'll do removals, which we're working with
1:34:58
a lot of police officers and and deaf
1:35:01
investigators at the location where a decedent is
1:35:04
found.
1:35:05
Have you seen any pictures of the so
1:35:08
-called car that looked like a cop car
1:35:13
with lights on it?
1:35:15
Have you seen any pictures?
1:35:16
No, they didn't show that.
1:35:17
And then the other thing is he just
1:35:18
they've just found his other car to this
1:35:21
earlier.
1:35:22
And supposedly took off on foot.
1:35:24
He was wearing a stupid mask.
1:35:26
This whole thing is really screwed up.
1:35:29
This is a bad op.
1:35:32
Yeah.
1:35:33
Is there anything else in here we need
1:35:34
to listen to?
1:35:35
Well, actually, you have to keep now that
1:35:38
you started.
1:35:38
That part is not not interesting.
1:35:40
It gets more interesting as we right now.
1:35:42
It starts to be a crime scene or
1:35:46
just a natural death.
1:35:47
And our role is to just take the
1:35:50
decedent from that place of death to the
1:35:52
medical examiner's office.
1:35:54
And so between those two locations, I'm working
1:35:58
about six days a week.
1:36:01
This is about where I build on the
1:36:03
video, so I'm glad that this is the
1:36:05
part where it gets good.
1:36:06
OK, well, I'm glad you got it.
1:36:07
What else here?
1:36:08
Family and pets.
1:36:09
I have a wife and five kids and
1:36:12
we have two pets, German shepherds.
1:36:16
Fun fact about myself, I've been in the
1:36:20
food industry about 30 years and that led
1:36:23
to an opportunity.
1:36:25
I was invited to the Democratic Republic of
1:36:28
Congo, which is located in Central Africa.
1:36:31
When I was in high school, the country
1:36:33
was called Zaire.
1:36:34
That's a little bit more familiar with people,
1:36:35
but it's the largest, second largest country in
1:36:39
Africa, right in the middle and the center
1:36:41
there, and was asked a couple of years
1:36:43
ago to go and see what I could
1:36:46
do for ideas and helping their food supply
1:36:49
system.
1:36:50
Their population is about 100 million people and
1:36:52
they import 80 percent of their food currently.
1:36:55
So some of the food companies I worked
1:36:57
for in the past were Farm to Fork,
1:36:59
like Del Monte Foods and Golden Plum Poultry,
1:37:02
where we did everything from at Del Monte.
1:37:05
We planted the products to harvest them, to
1:37:08
process them and then shipped them out.
1:37:10
In Golden Plum Poultry, we had our own
1:37:12
hatcheries, grew our own barns.
1:37:13
Well, how is that helping feed the people
1:37:15
of Zaire?
1:37:16
It sounds like it sounds like some kind
1:37:18
of capitalist takeover.
1:37:20
Farmers and then processing plants.
1:37:23
So between those two companies, I have some
1:37:26
experience with agriculture.
1:37:28
And so over in the Democratic Republic of
1:37:31
Congo, I had some ideas they thought were
1:37:33
pretty promising, which.
1:37:36
Package up some Congolese and put them in
1:37:39
Del Monte cans.
1:37:40
The whole thing is just he goes on
1:37:43
about this and then he was going to
1:37:44
move his family there.
1:37:46
And then he was but he wanted a
1:37:47
part time job here so he could make
1:37:49
money to pay for this other thing.
1:37:51
I mean, he's almost done, I think.
1:37:53
Yeah, yeah.
1:37:53
30 seconds.
1:37:54
But it's like, what is this guy?
1:37:57
What is going on here?
1:37:58
The company I was working for at the
1:38:00
time wasn't interested in doing anything in Africa.
1:38:02
So I talked with my wife and we
1:38:03
decided I just put in my two week
1:38:04
notice and we just go off on our
1:38:07
own to try to do these projects to
1:38:08
help out in Africa.
1:38:09
So we're doing farming and fishing projects in
1:38:12
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
1:38:14
And to help pay the bills, I just
1:38:16
started working at a funeral home because the
1:38:18
shift worked good for my schedule with the
1:38:20
other things I was doing.
1:38:22
And that led to some classes at DMACC,
1:38:25
which led to this course.
1:38:27
So just learning more about the funeral industry.
1:38:29
And I think that covers everything.
1:38:31
And I will look forward to seeing you
1:38:34
in class.
1:38:35
And we'll go from there.
1:38:36
Well, where was the interesting part?
1:38:40
Well, I thought it was interesting that he's
1:38:41
connected to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
1:38:46
And if you go to his LinkedIn page,
1:38:48
he's the CEO of the Red Lion Group,
1:38:51
which is...
1:38:52
This is bullcrap.
1:38:54
There's a website, all right?
1:38:57
These are websites and the Praetorian Guard.
1:39:01
It is bullcrap.
1:39:02
But what is...
1:39:03
This is crazy bullcrap, considering what this guy
1:39:07
just did.
1:39:07
He had a hit list with Ilan Omar
1:39:10
on it.
1:39:11
Why he didn't put her at the top
1:39:13
is unknown.
1:39:14
You're a horrible man.
1:39:18
Let's listen to ABC here for a second.
1:39:21
This morning, the urgent manhunt continues in the
1:39:23
Minnesota Twin Cities region for 57...
1:39:26
By the way, manifesto immediately mentioned.
1:39:29
Manifesto.
1:39:30
Yeah, where's the manifesto?
1:39:32
We don't get the manifesto.
1:39:33
They never give us the manifesto until they
1:39:35
rewrite it.
1:39:36
We don't get the manifesto.
1:39:37
I want the manifesto.
1:39:38
This morning, the urgent manhunt continues in the
1:39:41
Minnesota Twin Cities region for 57-year-old
1:39:44
Vance Bolter.
1:39:45
The suspect, police say, killed a beloved Minnesota
1:39:47
lawmaker and her husband and wounded another legislator
1:39:51
and his spouse.
1:39:52
This was an act of targeted political violence.
1:39:55
He knew that that was there right away.
1:40:00
Targeted political violence.
1:40:02
I mean, is it an op gone wrong?
1:40:06
There's something...
1:40:07
There's something gone wrong.
1:40:08
Something is wrong.
1:40:09
The FBI putting...
1:40:10
By the way, that woman, we don't have
1:40:12
a...
1:40:12
There are clips available of her.
1:40:14
She was frightened because...
1:40:17
Oh, good.
1:40:17
OK.
1:40:17
I have the clip.
1:40:18
Here she is.
1:40:19
Representative Melissa Hortman after she voted no on
1:40:24
health care for illegals.
1:40:26
I know that people will be hurt by
1:40:28
that vote.
1:40:29
And I'm...
1:40:33
We worked very hard to try to get
1:40:34
a budget deal that wouldn't include that provision.
1:40:39
Yeah.
1:40:39
So she looked...
1:40:41
She sided with the Republicans.
1:40:42
She looked and sounded distraught.
1:40:45
And she was very upset because, according to
1:40:47
other reports, all the Democrats in the state
1:40:50
were going after her for siding with the
1:40:52
Republicans on the free welfare for undocumented immigrants.
1:40:58
And...
1:40:59
Which is an easy kind of MAGA right
1:41:01
-wing thought, like, oh, that's why he killed
1:41:04
her.
1:41:04
But that's why she was killed.
1:41:05
I'm not buying any of that.
1:41:07
Something else is going on here.
1:41:08
Well, I'm not buying anything because I think
1:41:09
this is some sort of...
1:41:10
I think you maybe hit it right, an
1:41:12
op gone wrong.
1:41:14
Yeah.
1:41:15
Let's finish with ABC.
1:41:17
Targeted political violence.
1:41:18
The FBI putting out these images they say
1:41:21
are of Bolter not long after the attack
1:41:23
in a cowboy hat, offering a $50,000
1:41:26
reward for information leading to his arrest.
1:41:29
Bolter, a Minnesota resident, ran a private security
1:41:32
company with his wife.
1:41:33
Do not approach him.
1:41:34
You should consider him armed and dangerous.
1:41:37
Around 2 a.m. Saturday, police in Champlain,
1:41:40
northwest of Minneapolis, responding to reports of a
1:41:43
shooting at the home of state Senator John
1:41:45
Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
1:41:46
Suspects posing as police officers shot two victims.
1:41:51
Eight miles away in Brooklyn Park, a fast
1:41:53
-thinking sergeant proactively checking on the home of
1:41:56
former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband,
1:41:59
Mark, finding them fatally shot.
1:42:01
They noticed that there was a police vehicle
1:42:03
in the driveway with the lights, emergency lights
1:42:05
on, and what appeared to be a police
1:42:06
officer at the door coming out of the
1:42:08
house.
1:42:09
When our officers confronted them, the individual immediately
1:42:13
fired upon the officers who exchanged gunfire, and
1:42:16
the suspect retreated back into the home.
1:42:19
I just happened to go check on him.
1:42:22
Yeah, I should go check on him.
1:42:23
Yeah, by coincidence.
1:42:24
And the other thing is, now all of
1:42:25
a sudden, instead of being at Africa or
1:42:27
a funeral home or a food service, he's
1:42:30
co-owned a security company with his wife,
1:42:34
while he was living with two dudes.
1:42:36
You know what?
1:42:37
This to me— This is nuts.
1:42:39
This sounds like a contracted hit from someone
1:42:43
else not politically motivated.
1:42:46
How about this?
1:42:48
Now that you bring that up, the guy
1:42:50
was a hitman.
1:42:51
Yeah, yeah, in Congo.
1:42:56
Yeah, and maybe that's why he was in
1:42:59
the Congo, to do a hit there.
1:43:01
I mean, this is really out there, but
1:43:04
what's the possibility?
1:43:06
There are these guys out there that are
1:43:08
professional murderers.
1:43:09
They're usually about 61 inches tall.
1:43:13
And the 61 inches tall is code.
1:43:16
Yeah.
1:43:19
And what's the mugshot taken for?
1:43:22
Because I think your analysis of that is
1:43:24
probably correct.
1:43:25
It had to be a mugshot with a
1:43:27
61-inch marker on the side, which is
1:43:31
where that came from.
1:43:32
When people ask me how tall I am,
1:43:34
my standard joke is 5'17".
1:43:37
But I'm going to start switching to inches
1:43:38
now.
1:43:39
So they really go, 5'17 is already
1:43:44
hard for people.
1:43:47
So— Oh, oh, oh, I see.
1:43:50
You're 6'5".
1:43:50
This is very—and then what's he doing with
1:43:53
the— in the supposedly, in the car, there
1:43:56
was a bunch of these no kings.
1:43:59
What's that got to do with the price
1:44:00
of bread?
1:44:01
And then the phony baloney list of people
1:44:03
that were on, you know, Ilhan Omar, Tim
1:44:06
Walz, and a bunch of other politicos that
1:44:09
were on.
1:44:10
That's bullcrap.
1:44:10
This whole thing could be bullcrap.
1:44:13
But I like the hitman theory of my
1:44:15
own.
1:44:16
I'm patting myself on the head.
1:44:19
It's a hitman.
1:44:20
Don't give yourself a brain injury.
1:44:21
And she was nervous when she—that clip you
1:44:23
played of the speaker.
1:44:25
She was a nervous wreck for some reason.
1:44:27
Something else was going on.
1:44:30
So, anyway, for people who are emailing me
1:44:34
and saying, what is our—what is happening in
1:44:36
our world?
1:44:37
Just look at the ground.
1:44:39
Turn off the TV.
1:44:40
Put your phone down.
1:44:41
Turn off the TV.
1:44:42
It'll be okay.
1:44:44
It'll be okay.
1:44:45
These things have been going on forever.
1:44:47
I mean, no one even mentioned the 10
1:44:49
people shot in an Austrian school.
1:44:52
That wasn't news.
1:44:55
Here.
1:44:56
No, well, I saw one report— A little
1:44:58
bit.
1:44:58
A little bit.
1:44:59
But, you know, it's like, this is the—
1:45:02
we live in a broken, fallen world.
1:45:04
That's just it.
1:45:06
But it's not.
1:45:07
It's the same old world it's always been.
1:45:09
That's my point.
1:45:10
It's just more amplified.
1:45:12
It's amplified continuously.
1:45:13
Yeah, which gives us the opportunity to do
1:45:15
a No Agenda show for people.
1:45:17
They should be thankful.
1:45:19
No.
1:45:22
I don't care if they're thankful or not.
1:45:24
Yeah, you do.
1:45:26
Just—but it's like, don't worry about it.
1:45:28
Go outside.
1:45:32
Enjoy your neighbors.
1:45:34
Have a joke about their birthday signs.
1:45:36
Hey, how you doing?
1:45:37
Yeah, okay.
1:45:38
That's pretty funny.
1:45:39
Just calm down every— I mean, there are—
1:45:44
It's off the rails here, John.
1:45:46
It's off the rails.
1:45:48
Like, well, you know, 2030, Soros, the World
1:45:53
Economic Forum.
1:45:55
They're going to— the New World Order.
1:45:56
We're back to New World Order.
1:45:59
That's cropping up again.
1:46:01
It's the cycle that's just annoying.
1:46:03
It's like, hey, I went down that rabbit
1:46:05
hole 15 years ago.
1:46:07
It is nothing at the bottom.
1:46:09
There's no Alice in Wonderland.
1:46:11
There's no Looking Glass.
1:46:12
Aliens.
1:46:14
Speaking of, something else to be worried about.
1:46:16
It's roughly the size of a 15-story
1:46:19
building.
1:46:20
Asteroid 2024-YR4, dubbed the City Killer when
1:46:24
it was discovered last year, was initially given
1:46:27
a 3% chance of striking Earth on
1:46:30
the 22nd of December 2032.
1:46:33
New projections from NASA have downgraded that threat
1:46:36
to almost zero.
1:46:38
Instead, our nearest neighbor, the Moon, may now
1:46:41
be in danger.
1:46:42
Oh no!
1:46:42
NASA has upgraded the chances of a lunar
1:46:44
collision to 4.3%. Though unlikely, the impact
1:46:49
could be visible from Earth and may leave
1:46:52
a new lunar crater up to a kilometer
1:46:54
in diameter.
1:46:56
Objects in space, where there is so much
1:46:58
space and the chances of hitting anything is
1:47:02
extremely low in most circumstances, 4% is
1:47:06
very high indeed.
1:47:07
Debris from- How can 4% chance
1:47:10
of it hitting the Moon be very high
1:47:12
indeed?
1:47:13
It's better that it was high compared to
1:47:15
one.
1:47:16
Now, I wonder if this thing hits the
1:47:18
Moon, if it's going to crack through the
1:47:20
uh- The hollow Moon.
1:47:23
The hollow Moon.
1:47:24
The hollow Moon, because it could crack through,
1:47:26
because so far nothing's been able to penetrate
1:47:28
that inner thing, whatever it is.
1:47:32
Did you see- Spacecraft.
1:47:34
I didn't clip it, but there was some
1:47:35
guy, a state senator, I think, and he
1:47:38
was being interviewed and he let it slip.
1:47:40
He said, well, you know, I've talked to
1:47:42
Army guys, we got Army people on the
1:47:45
Moon.
1:47:45
I'm like, what?
1:47:47
Did you see that video?
1:47:49
No, I didn't.
1:47:50
It was almost unclipable.
1:47:51
I'm surprised that you saw it, you didn't
1:47:52
clip it.
1:47:53
It's like three seconds long, I'm like, eh.
1:47:56
I tried to find the original, couldn't find
1:47:59
it.
1:47:59
I gotta get up.
1:48:00
Yeah.
1:48:02
I gotta do work now, I can't do
1:48:04
that.
1:48:04
I gotta get it.
1:48:05
Where's the gun?
1:48:06
Ah, it's too late, forget it.
1:48:07
Can't do that.
1:48:09
Are the Grammys coming up?
1:48:11
Are the Grammys on the way?
1:48:12
Is it- You're the one that keeps
1:48:13
track of the Grammys, I don't.
1:48:15
Let me see, when is the Grammy Awards?
1:48:16
I think the CMT had something to go.
1:48:18
Let me see.
1:48:19
Look at your Satan cycle calendar.
1:48:22
I'm looking at the Satan cycle here, let
1:48:25
me see.
1:48:26
The Grammy Awards, when are they coming up?
1:48:29
They should be coming up soon, the 20
1:48:31
- Is it the- February?
1:48:35
Oh, please.
1:48:36
Because they just announced some new categories, which
1:48:39
is also very interesting.
1:48:41
Changes are coming to music's biggest night in
1:48:44
2026.
1:48:45
The Recording Academy has announced new rules and
1:48:48
new categories for the Grammy Awards next year.
1:48:52
The Best New Artist category is expanding to
1:48:55
include acts who were previously nominated for Album
1:48:59
of the Year as a Featured Artist.
1:49:02
I don't understand this.
1:49:05
So- What?
1:49:06
Yeah, so if you were nominated for Best
1:49:09
Album, you can now be nominated for Best
1:49:13
New Artist, even if you won, I guess,
1:49:16
that category.
1:49:16
But then you're not new.
1:49:18
I mean, who are they trying to get
1:49:21
on the show that they have to-
1:49:22
This is like when we did- Oh,
1:49:23
that's exactly right.
1:49:24
This is what we did with- I've
1:49:27
told this story- with Michael Jackson.
1:49:30
We wanted to get Michael Jackson on the
1:49:32
Video Music Awards, and he would only do
1:49:35
it if we promised to give him the
1:49:39
Video Vanguard Award, and we would name it
1:49:41
after him, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award
1:49:45
of the Year.
1:49:46
And so, yeah, okay.
1:49:48
And there were some other stipulations, which-
1:49:51
Well, I'll tell the story in case someone
1:49:52
hasn't heard it.
1:49:53
This sounds corrupt.
1:49:54
So, and then we had to do this
1:49:56
whole special weekend to debut his video.
1:49:59
I don't remember which one it was.
1:50:02
And so we recorded- on Friday, we'd
1:50:04
record for- Let me see.
1:50:07
Thursdays, we record for Saturday and Sunday, and
1:50:10
Friday, we record for Monday, because none of
1:50:12
it was- not much of it was
1:50:14
live.
1:50:14
So we did the whole 48 on Thursday,
1:50:18
and then Friday, we taped for Monday, and
1:50:19
everybody went home.
1:50:20
And then the frantic phone calls, everybody had
1:50:23
to come in on Saturday to reshoot everything
1:50:27
for the weekend, because in the contract that
1:50:30
stipulated every single time we would say Michael
1:50:32
Jackson, it had- you had to say
1:50:34
Michael- Oh, yeah, you did tell this
1:50:35
story.
1:50:36
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.
1:50:39
And so we didn't- that contract piece
1:50:41
hadn't come down to the studio.
1:50:42
But anyway, so, you know, you finesse the
1:50:46
award, you make up an award to get
1:50:48
someone to appear on the award show.
1:50:51
And by the way, once he was dead,
1:50:53
that's now the J-Lo Video Vanguard Award.
1:50:56
That didn't last, those hypocrites.
1:50:57
So anyway, so there's something up with this.
1:51:00
Who were previously nominated for Album of the
1:51:04
Year as a featured artist.
1:51:06
The Academy is also carving out a standalone
1:51:08
category for Best Album Cover and create-
1:51:11
Album cover?
1:51:14
The No Agenda Show should win that.
1:51:16
When's the last time you saw an album
1:51:19
cover?
1:51:20
On an album cover, and creating a brand
1:51:24
new category for Best Traditional Country Album.
1:51:27
The existing Best Country Album category has been
1:51:30
renamed Best Contemporary Country Album.
1:51:34
So they're kind of giving two lanes for
1:51:35
that.
1:51:36
What that means is we have a white
1:51:38
country, a country winner and a black country
1:51:41
winner because Beyonce took it last year.
1:51:43
The change comes after, of course, Beyonce won
1:51:46
Best Country Album last year for Cowboy Carter.
1:51:49
We're really seeing a lot of expansion within
1:51:51
that music category.
1:51:52
There's no words to reflect it.
1:51:54
This is weird.
1:51:57
Best Contemporary.
1:51:58
This is the same thing that Tony's did.
1:51:59
Tony's added a bunch of, first, you know,
1:52:01
the Best Actor and Best Featured Actor.
1:52:05
Two separate categories.
1:52:07
Hmm.
1:52:08
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
1:52:09
I don't know.
1:52:12
It's strange.
1:52:13
You're right.
1:52:14
I think you absolutely nailed it.
1:52:17
This is corruption at the core.
1:52:19
We want to get so-and-so to
1:52:21
show up for the show because nobody wants
1:52:23
to do these shows anymore because the ratings
1:52:25
are flagging.
1:52:26
And it's not helping us much if they
1:52:28
don't show up.
1:52:29
If nobody shows up, it gets worse.
1:52:31
We got to bribe them somehow.
1:52:33
So how are we going to do it?
1:52:34
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
1:52:35
Let's have a meeting.
1:52:36
Yeah.
1:52:37
Let's have a meeting.
1:52:40
Oh, man.
1:52:42
Oh, boy.
1:52:43
What are we going to do?
1:52:44
Well, we do the Albrego Garcia stuff.
1:52:46
I got two clips.
1:52:47
Oh, is he, is he, what's happening with
1:52:51
him?
1:52:51
Well, here's the update.
1:52:53
The Albrego Garcia update.
1:52:55
In Tennessee, Kilmar Albrego Garcia pleaded not guilty
1:52:58
today to federal charges of human smuggling.
1:53:01
It was the first time the construction worker
1:53:03
and long-time Maryland resident has appeared in
1:53:05
a U.S. courtroom since he was mistakenly
1:53:07
deported to El Salvador in March.
1:53:09
The Trump administration brought him back to the
1:53:11
U.S. last week to face criminal charges
1:53:14
that stem from a 2022 traffic stop.
1:53:17
The people united will never be divided.
1:53:20
Albrego Garcia's supporters called for his freedom outside
1:53:24
the courthouse today.
1:53:25
And at a nearby church, his wife, Jennifer,
1:53:28
described seeing her husband for the first time
1:53:30
in three months.
1:53:31
Meantime, a federal judge has sided with the
1:53:33
Trump administration's push to keep Columbia University graduate
1:53:36
Mahmoud Khalil in detention.
1:53:38
That's despite a previous judge's order saying the
1:53:41
pro-Palestinian activist could no longer be held
1:53:44
based on the administration's initial argument that he's
1:53:47
a threat to U.S. foreign policy.
1:53:49
The government now says Khalil is being held
1:53:51
on other grounds, claiming that he lied on
1:53:53
his green card application.
1:53:55
No.
1:53:56
They're keeping him in Louisiana for some sort
1:53:58
of debriefing.
1:53:59
By the way, when you're ready, I have
1:54:01
the answer for Louisiana for you.
1:54:04
But first with Albrego Garcia, this is interesting.
1:54:10
This was on a podcast.
1:54:11
This is Dershowitz.
1:54:13
Dershowitz clip.
1:54:14
Yeah.
1:54:14
Talking about the analyzing the whole situation, saying
1:54:18
that his lawyers, his liberal lawyers got him
1:54:22
screwed over.
1:54:24
Big mistake.
1:54:24
Big blunder by his lawyers.
1:54:26
His lawyers never, ever should have tried to
1:54:28
bring him back to the United States.
1:54:30
They should have filed a motion having him
1:54:32
transferred from El Salvador or Nicaragua, where maybe
1:54:36
there was some fear, to another place, say
1:54:39
Argentina or Brazil.
1:54:42
He might be a free man today if
1:54:44
they had done that.
1:54:45
Remember that he was ordered deported.
1:54:47
The only flaw in the order was where
1:54:49
he was sent, not whether he was sent.
1:54:52
And so I think he may spend a
1:54:54
long time in prison.
1:54:55
If he's found guilty, he's presumed innocent.
1:54:57
But if he's found guilty, he's going to
1:54:59
spend a long time in prison complaining about
1:55:01
his ideological radical lawyers who made a hero
1:55:05
out of him and try to get him
1:55:06
back to the United States when that was
1:55:08
not in his own self-interest.
1:55:11
So lawyers made the most fundamental mistake a
1:55:14
lawyer can make, putting ideology before the best
1:55:17
interest of the client.
1:55:18
Right.
1:55:19
One quick bounce question, and then I'm coming
1:55:21
to the GOV.
1:55:22
The GOV.
1:55:23
Professor, the idea of what America should have
1:55:27
done with him, why these charges from a
1:55:30
traffic stop that didn't seem to amount to
1:55:32
much when it happened, instead of challenging the
1:55:36
stay of removal?
1:55:38
Well, they can do both.
1:55:39
That's the problem with what the lawyers did.
1:55:42
They're going to have a trial.
1:55:44
If he's convicted, they're happy.
1:55:46
But if he's acquitted, they can still bring
1:55:49
the deportation charges because the standard of proof
1:55:52
is very different in deportation charges.
1:55:55
All they would have to do is deport
1:55:57
him to a country where he could not
1:55:59
make a plausible claim that he's in danger.
1:56:02
So from the government's point of view, it's
1:56:04
a win-win to do it this way.
1:56:06
Did Cuomo say, in a minute, we're coming
1:56:10
to the GOV?
1:56:12
Yeah.
1:56:13
Is that his brother?
1:56:15
We're coming to the GOV?
1:56:16
Yeah, the GOV.
1:56:17
The GOV.
1:56:19
Yeah, they tried to make this a George
1:56:22
Floyd type deal.
1:56:23
That's what they tried, and it failed.
1:56:24
Well, they're still working on it.
1:56:26
They got the protesters out there demanding he'd
1:56:28
be freed.
1:56:29
It's not going to happen.
1:56:30
It was so sad to see these people
1:56:32
who were just, you know, so you have
1:56:34
these vans, kind of like courtesy shuttles almost.
1:56:40
And I guess they rousted some people and
1:56:42
put them in the courtesy shuttles.
1:56:43
And then you have these protesters standing in
1:56:46
front and just completely hysterical.
1:56:50
Let my people go.
1:56:52
Let my people go.
1:56:53
It's like, wow.
1:56:55
I love that woman yelling that.
1:56:56
She's screaming at the top of her lungs,
1:56:59
damaging her vocal cords, no doubt.
1:57:01
Yeah, let my people go.
1:57:02
Let my people go.
1:57:03
And she's like, you know, she's bald.
1:57:06
She's some bald white woman.
1:57:07
Yeah, she was.
1:57:08
She was bald.
1:57:10
It's like, what is wrong with these?
1:57:12
But this is terrible.
1:57:14
Yeah, she needed a hug really bad.
1:57:17
No, she needed.
1:57:18
Yeah, she needed a hug.
1:57:19
And in the sane asylum, she needs a
1:57:21
hug with a straight jacket.
1:57:23
When you go that hysterical, I mean, there's
1:57:27
no coming back at a certain point.
1:57:29
It's like a temper tantrum for an adult.
1:57:31
I have trouble watching that.
1:57:34
I look like, oh, it's just hard.
1:57:36
What is going on?
1:57:39
Yeah.
1:57:39
So that reminds me of this TikTok video.
1:57:42
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
1:57:43
Don't I got to stick with Louisiana for
1:57:45
a moment?
1:57:45
OK.
1:57:46
Oh, yes.
1:57:46
I want to hear that.
1:57:47
I'll bring you back.
1:57:48
So our Dell dealer, he's in Louisiana and
1:57:51
he says, oh, no, we what you what?
1:57:54
The Dell dealer is the guy who sent
1:57:57
who sends the Dell computers.
1:57:58
Oh, the guy who never sent me anything.
1:58:01
Yeah, I think I have yours.
1:58:04
Oh, not one of those deals.
1:58:06
It's like the people that send me candy
1:58:07
bars for you.
1:58:08
They send me Dells.
1:58:11
You know, he was going to send me
1:58:13
a cool seven inch touch screen.
1:58:15
But then he heard Tina complaining about the
1:58:17
mess in my studio.
1:58:18
He said, oh, I didn't send it out
1:58:19
because I didn't want Tina to get mad
1:58:21
at you.
1:58:21
I just got screwed out of a cool
1:58:23
seven inch touch screen.
1:58:25
So whose fault is that?
1:58:28
Don't think I'm going to say it's my
1:58:30
wife's fault.
1:58:30
It's always my fault.
1:58:31
Hello.
1:58:33
So he's in Louisiana.
1:58:35
I met him.
1:58:35
He came to Fredericksburg with his daughter.
1:58:37
Nice guy.
1:58:38
Real nice guy.
1:58:38
We had a lunch.
1:58:39
We hung out for a little bit.
1:58:41
And he said, oh, no, it's this is
1:58:44
the place to be.
1:58:45
We we have we're number one when it
1:58:47
comes to detention centers.
1:58:48
And he sent me a couple of maps
1:58:50
and some clips.
1:58:51
And I think this one says it all.
1:58:53
Since the all woman South Louisiana ice processing
1:58:56
center.
1:58:57
These facilities are five some five hours away
1:59:00
from downtown New Orleans.
1:59:02
Most folks don't even know they exist.
1:59:04
It's one of Louisiana's privately run ice facilities,
1:59:07
where Tufts University Ph.D. student Rumisha Ozturk
1:59:10
is currently being held.
1:59:12
The facility is part of a growing network
1:59:13
of detention centers across the state, now under
1:59:16
scrutiny by lawmakers and activists.
1:59:18
Unfortunately, Louisiana has a very has a lot
1:59:24
of prison capacity.
1:59:25
Nell Hahn works to educate migrants in Lafayette
1:59:27
about their rights.
1:59:28
She says the rural locations of these centers
1:59:30
make it nearly impossible for detainees to access
1:59:33
help.
1:59:34
It's particularly hard on immigrants because there aren't
1:59:38
that many immigration lawyers and most of them
1:59:41
are not concentrated in central or north Louisiana.
1:59:44
Louisiana is rapidly becoming a detention hotspot.
1:59:47
In March, Columbia University student Mahmood Khalil was
1:59:50
transferred to a center in Jenna.
1:59:52
Just a month earlier, migrants from Guantanamo Bay
1:59:54
were sent to Louisiana.
1:59:56
According to TARG, Louisiana now holds the second
1:59:59
highest number of ice detainees in the U
2:00:01
.S., over 7,000.
2:00:03
Texas ranks first with more than 29,000.
2:00:06
And it's not just the numbers raising eyebrows,
2:00:08
it's who's running the show.
2:00:10
According to research from the National Immigrant Justice
2:00:12
Center, 90% of people in ice custody
2:00:15
in the country are held in privately run
2:00:17
facilities.
2:00:18
These are incredibly, incredibly profitable businesses.
2:00:22
There you go.
2:00:23
That's America, baby.
2:00:25
Profit.
2:00:26
That's why.
2:00:28
Far away from lawyers and very profitable.
2:00:31
Like far away from lawyers.
2:00:33
Far away in the middle of nowhere, Louisiana.
2:00:37
Far away from lawyers.
2:00:38
That would be, no lawyer wants to work
2:00:41
there.
2:00:42
And from what I understand, the government facilities,
2:00:45
it costs $120 a day to house a
2:00:48
detainee and the commercial guys, eh, we'll do
2:00:50
it for $75.
2:00:52
We got you.
2:00:53
We got you, gov.
2:00:54
We got you, government.
2:00:55
We'll take care of you.
2:00:56
So that's why.
2:00:58
And but Texas is still number one.
2:01:00
Who knew?
2:01:01
Oh, I didn't know that either.
2:01:03
Where?
2:01:04
Probably in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in
2:01:06
Texas, outside of Waco.
2:01:09
And with that, I want to thank you
2:01:09
for your courage.
2:01:10
Say in the morning to you, the man
2:01:11
who put the C in coming to the
2:01:13
gov.
2:01:13
Say hello to my friend on the other
2:01:14
end.
2:01:15
The one, the only, Mr. Wine Orderer himself.
2:01:19
John Cena.
2:01:23
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam
2:01:25
Curry.
2:01:25
Joe Gallagher.
2:01:28
Yeah, hello, trolls in the troll room.
2:01:31
Very trolly.
2:01:34
Well, it's Father's Day.
2:01:41
1912.
2:01:42
That stinks.
2:01:44
I thought there'd be more people willing to
2:01:45
hear our Iran bombing stuff.
2:01:49
No, I guess not.
2:01:50
They're like, dad's more important.
2:01:51
I'm okay with that.
2:01:52
If dad's more important than Iran bombing.
2:01:55
Iran bombing stuff.
2:01:57
I'm fine with that.
2:01:59
I'm good.
2:02:00
It's nice.
2:02:00
You had a nice little ditty in the
2:02:03
newsletter about the origin of Father's Day.
2:02:05
Can you recant?
2:02:06
I mean, recount?
2:02:07
Yeah, Father's Day was, you know, it was
2:02:09
a pushback.
2:02:10
Mother's Day had been established long in the
2:02:12
1800s, I think.
2:02:14
And they had, the fathers were short sheeted
2:02:16
and they didn't get any day.
2:02:18
And so they started bitching about it.
2:02:19
It began in 1901, the first kind of
2:02:21
somebody came up with the idea of Father's
2:02:23
Day.
2:02:23
It never went anywhere.
2:02:25
And then in 1956, to be specific, the
2:02:30
Eisenhower administration, they recognized it was a Father's
2:02:33
Day.
2:02:33
And then it started floating around.
2:02:35
It was in the 70s where they gave
2:02:36
it a day.
2:02:38
Third Sunday or second Sunday of the month
2:02:40
or whatever.
2:02:43
And it's always been semi-rejected because it's
2:02:46
a symbol of the patriarchy.
2:02:48
Yes.
2:02:48
And socks.
2:02:50
Socks.
2:02:51
Socks.
2:02:53
I got Happy Father's Day from my stepdaughters,
2:02:57
even.
2:02:57
It was really nice.
2:02:58
Both of them?
2:02:59
Both of them, yeah.
2:03:00
Both of them.
2:03:01
And from my own daughter.
2:03:03
Yeah, it's nice.
2:03:04
I feel like a dad.
2:03:05
I feel like the patriarch of the family.
2:03:09
Heck yeah.
2:03:10
Well, I got a Happy Father's Day from
2:03:12
my daughter, not from my son or my
2:03:14
stepson, either one.
2:03:16
None of them, or my wife, nobody else.
2:03:19
Really?
2:03:20
Mimi didn't even say, hey, thanks for being
2:03:22
a great father?
2:03:22
But I probably ignored it.
2:03:26
How can you ignore it?
2:03:27
Does she need a banner flying over the
2:03:30
house?
2:03:31
Does she text you?
2:03:33
You just ignored it.
2:03:36
No, I think she said something last night,
2:03:40
but it wasn't official.
2:03:42
Hey, by the way, Happy Father's Day from
2:03:44
my...
2:03:44
All right.
2:03:44
But I think we've discussed this already.
2:03:47
It's a nudnik day for the most part,
2:03:51
except apparently for our listeners.
2:03:53
Yes.
2:03:53
Well, we do have some Father's Day well
2:03:55
wishes.
2:03:55
I looked at the spreadsheet.
2:03:57
I saw it come in.
2:03:58
But first, we want to remind you that
2:03:59
the trolls who we count diligently, they're all
2:04:02
listening through a number, a variety of ways,
2:04:05
and they're in the troll room, of course.
2:04:07
Trollroom.io where you can listen live, and
2:04:09
you can troll along if you feel like
2:04:10
it.
2:04:10
Lots of trolling happening today.
2:04:14
Suggestion, listen on a modern podcast app.
2:04:18
Did I tell you that the research came
2:04:20
out that it's been denied, that YouTube was
2:04:25
out there claiming they're the biggest podcast platform
2:04:28
ever?
2:04:30
Did you hear any of that?
2:04:32
No, I know nothing of what you speak.
2:04:34
Okay.
2:04:35
So, well, basically, Google slash YouTube have been
2:04:40
just going on and on.
2:04:42
Well, people, podcasts are on YouTube.
2:04:44
Podcasts, everything is a podcast.
2:04:46
And they'd go in and automatically...
2:04:49
If you had headphones on and a microphone,
2:04:51
they'd change your tags to, it's a podcast.
2:04:54
And then they say, oh, we've got a
2:04:55
billion podcasts.
2:04:56
It's like, it was fake and gay, honestly.
2:04:59
It was not okay.
2:05:01
And then some guy came out from Signal
2:05:04
Hill Research, which is part of some other
2:05:06
big group, said, no, no, no.
2:05:08
In fact, if you look at it, it's
2:05:10
like over 60% listen to podcasts on
2:05:13
podcast apps.
2:05:15
And then the whole industry, which for a
2:05:17
year and a half has been going, oh,
2:05:19
you need video.
2:05:20
You can't have a...
2:05:21
Oh, the market's demanding video.
2:05:23
If you don't do video, you can't have
2:05:24
a podcast.
2:05:25
You won't be successful.
2:05:25
No one's going to care about you.
2:05:27
The young people, they only watch podcasts.
2:05:29
They don't want to listen to podcasts.
2:05:30
On a dime they turned.
2:05:33
You know, people are misinterpreting what I was
2:05:35
saying.
2:05:36
You know, I just felt it was the
2:05:39
shiny new thing.
2:05:40
Boo.
2:05:42
So podcast wins again.
2:05:44
You cannot...
2:05:45
In fact, I would say that podcast is
2:05:49
the biggest medium in media in general.
2:05:54
I think you could probably make that claim.
2:05:56
I think somebody might be able to prove
2:05:58
it.
2:05:58
Well, if you take four and a half
2:05:59
million podcasts, let's say the average...
2:06:03
Yeah.
2:06:06
Well...
2:06:07
When I turn to go YouTube TV, I
2:06:09
do not have four and a half.
2:06:11
Even with Pluto, I do not have four
2:06:14
and a half million channels.
2:06:16
A 1.8 of those million comes from
2:06:20
Anchor, formerly known as Anchor, which is a
2:06:23
free host and now is Spotify for podcasters.
2:06:27
It's still free.
2:06:28
So a lot of those are like, test
2:06:30
one, two, poop.
2:06:31
Right.
2:06:31
Okay.
2:06:31
That's your podcast.
2:06:33
Test one, two.
2:06:33
They got one episode.
2:06:35
But let's just presume that on average, every
2:06:39
podcast has 100 listeners.
2:06:42
That's 400 million, four and a half, 450
2:06:46
million.
2:06:46
It dwarfs everything.
2:06:49
You are either a podcast or you don't
2:06:51
exist in media land.
2:06:52
That's just it.
2:06:54
Podcasting is bigger than anything else.
2:06:57
En masse.
2:06:58
And it's distributed and no one owns it
2:07:00
and no one can take it down.
2:07:01
Good try, YouTube, who came out and said,
2:07:04
YouTube, you know, they've never reported their numbers.
2:07:08
I don't even think they're profitable.
2:07:11
If you were making tons of money with
2:07:13
YouTube, wouldn't you say, hey, YouTube did really
2:07:15
great?
2:07:16
Wouldn't you put that in your numbers?
2:07:20
They've been very secretive about all their numbers.
2:07:23
Well, they still report numbers.
2:07:24
Their public numbers, the way they report numbers
2:07:27
is like they don't want anyone knowing what
2:07:29
their formula, underlying formula for number generation is.
2:07:32
So they Google's always even before YouTube, they
2:07:36
were always very sketchy about how they reported
2:07:39
numbers.
2:07:39
They had the money.
2:07:40
There's money here.
2:07:41
Look, there's a pile of money.
2:07:43
Well, that's the report they came out with
2:07:46
is we contribute $55 billion to the GDP
2:07:50
of the world.
2:07:52
Okay.
2:07:54
Does that include camera companies and probably that
2:07:58
number is probably true, but the underlying foundational
2:08:03
calculations for that number are a mystery.
2:08:05
They had to make special chips just to
2:08:08
encode all the video they get to do
2:08:11
it with any kind of speed.
2:08:12
I mean, I just don't see.
2:08:13
Well, it doesn't matter.
2:08:16
Podcasting MP3s.
2:08:17
We're glad you're listening.
2:08:18
We've never done video.
2:08:20
We're never going to do video.
2:08:21
That's one thing I can say.
2:08:22
We're never going to do that.
2:08:23
We're just too old and boomery.
2:08:25
No one wants to look at us old
2:08:27
and boomery.
2:08:28
You don't want to watch a couple of
2:08:29
boomers with cans on there.
2:08:30
I mean, what's worse than two boomers on
2:08:32
a podcast is two boomers on a video
2:08:34
podcast.
2:08:35
That's the worst.
2:08:36
I don't want to imagine that.
2:08:38
So anyway, try out a modern podcast app.
2:08:42
It works with all of your existing podcasts,
2:08:44
and it has lots of benefits, including chapters
2:08:48
with art, which is nice, which you can
2:08:51
crowdsource those.
2:08:52
Dreb Scott does them for us.
2:08:54
But I think the most exciting pieces are
2:08:57
that you listen to the live show in
2:08:59
the podcast app.
2:09:01
It alerts you when we go live.
2:09:02
We got the bat signal.
2:09:04
And when we publish, and this is the
2:09:06
one that is most appropriate for today's issues,
2:09:09
particularly with some of the legacy apps where
2:09:11
you've got people complaining, oh, it's not an
2:09:14
app.
2:09:15
Within 90 seconds of us publishing the podcast,
2:09:18
it shows up on the modern podcast apps.
2:09:21
That's why you want to get one.
2:09:22
Everything else is kind of the same.
2:09:25
And there's like 27 other new features, but
2:09:28
you can figure those out for yourself.
2:09:32
We are still a value for value program,
2:09:34
which means we just give you our unadulterated
2:09:39
opinion, years of experience, years of doing media
2:09:43
deconstruction.
2:09:45
I mean, I have end of show mixes.
2:09:46
I just pulled out all the Bob Moran
2:09:48
clips again.
2:09:49
This is the fifth time we've used them
2:09:50
in the history of the show.
2:09:52
You could just keep pulling them out.
2:09:54
They're still valid.
2:09:56
Just keep pulling them out.
2:09:57
There we go again.
2:09:58
Time to Bob Moran.
2:09:59
It's always the same people saying it too.
2:10:02
So we thank people who give us time,
2:10:06
their talent, their treasure.
2:10:08
We always thank people who support us financially.
2:10:11
$50 and above.
2:10:12
We'll mention your name.
2:10:14
But before we even get to that, you
2:10:16
mentioned it earlier, the artists.
2:10:18
We should indeed be nominated for album art
2:10:21
for a Grammy.
2:10:22
I would gladly.
2:10:24
It wouldn't be funny if we went up
2:10:25
there to accept it.
2:10:27
We got a Grammy for best album art.
2:10:34
Go podcasting!
2:10:35
That's what you'd make me say.
2:10:36
I know you'd make me say that.
2:10:38
Definitely, you'd have to say that.
2:10:40
So we have No Agenda Art Generator, which
2:10:42
is one of the great examples of time,
2:10:44
talent, and treasure.
2:10:45
That is Sir Paul Couture who put that
2:10:48
together for us.
2:10:49
And the artists have been uploading art for
2:10:52
well over a decade, maybe 15 years with
2:10:55
different versions of the art generator.
2:10:57
So we always get to, right after the
2:10:59
show, we get to choose from a plethora
2:11:00
of art, which I have to say I'm
2:11:04
seeing model collapse before my very eyes.
2:11:06
Everyone's using AI these days.
2:11:08
They've gone from photographic type images.
2:11:11
Now it's just all cartoony.
2:11:12
And the cartoons, they're starting to look the
2:11:15
same, like the same cartoon.
2:11:17
The same.
2:11:18
It's like, that's why we get confused.
2:11:20
Oh my gosh, that was my thesis, that
2:11:22
digital 1-1-2-2-1-1-5,
2:11:25
whatever his name is.
2:11:26
Digital man 1-2-1-1-2.
2:11:27
Was Darren O'Neill.
2:11:28
Yeah, because it all looks the same.
2:11:30
Because the cartoon they have, they're prompting.
2:11:34
I don't know if they're using the same
2:11:35
software.
2:11:36
Maybe they're not.
2:11:37
That would make it even worse.
2:11:38
But this happened with the last DHN plug
2:11:40
that's coming up.
2:11:42
Is the, or the one last week, or
2:11:45
the one coming, there's one, some art that
2:11:47
Andrew did.
2:11:49
It is the same.
2:11:50
It looks like it was done by O
2:11:52
'Neill.
2:11:52
I mean, it's got the same character, cartoon
2:11:54
type.
2:11:55
It's just like a certain, it's annoying.
2:11:59
It's the second law of thermodynamics.
2:12:01
Entropy.
2:12:02
You can't stop it.
2:12:03
It's just unstoppable.
2:12:05
When this stuff keeps eating its own art,
2:12:08
it's just going to, it's just going to
2:12:09
get worse and worse and worse.
2:12:11
And then, you know, whoa, no, but there's
2:12:13
this new one.
2:12:14
Yeah, because it hasn't been saturated with its
2:12:16
own output yet.
2:12:18
There's going to be a lot of new
2:12:19
ones, apparently.
2:12:20
Well, of course, because everyone knows you hang
2:12:23
around long enough.
2:12:24
I mean, who still uses Dali, please?
2:12:27
That was, that was the cat's meow back
2:12:29
in the day.
2:12:30
I do.
2:12:31
Yeah, well, where's your art then?
2:12:33
I don't know.
2:12:35
Exactly.
2:12:36
We, we want to thank our artist who
2:12:39
brought us the artwork for episode 1772.
2:12:41
And it was indeed Digital2112man for the concept.
2:12:47
There were multiple versions of the concept.
2:12:50
And this was not perfect by any stretch
2:12:52
of the imagination.
2:12:53
No, because he left out the term Dr.
2:12:54
Pepper.
2:12:55
Yes, he, the most important part was left
2:12:57
out, but he had the album cover concept
2:13:00
correct.
2:13:02
So that's why we chose it.
2:13:04
It's, you know, I guess it's John and
2:13:07
George.
2:13:08
You and me, it's you and me.
2:13:10
I don't even wear glasses, but okay.
2:13:11
No, but I, no, I'm the, well, who
2:13:13
am I then?
2:13:14
I'm not the guy with the mustache.
2:13:16
The guy with the glasses with the hat.
2:13:19
Yeah, I'm the guy with the hat.
2:13:21
Had the right idea.
2:13:23
And let's just go take a look at
2:13:25
the other art because there was, there was
2:13:27
one other, which actually had Dr. Pepper on
2:13:30
it.
2:13:30
Because that was a mistake.
2:13:33
You said Dr. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
2:13:35
It was funny.
2:13:38
And so we had, well, there was also
2:13:41
Digital2112man.
2:13:43
He did No Agendas, Dr. Pepper's Lonely Hearts
2:13:45
Club, Curry and Dvorak Band.
2:13:48
But it was just a poster.
2:13:49
It wasn't even the right thing.
2:13:50
He should have combined those two.
2:13:52
Yeah, he should have.
2:13:53
That's a misser.
2:13:53
But if you're just working with prompts, you
2:13:57
can say combine the two and you won't
2:14:00
get what you want.
2:14:01
But everything, everything is AI.
2:14:05
And it's just blending together.
2:14:08
It's all starting to look alike.
2:14:09
The good example is Digital2112's, if you go
2:14:13
down further, you got the two cartoons next
2:14:15
to each other.
2:14:17
Keep that story in your pants and No
2:14:19
Kings, which I like the No Kings one.
2:14:22
But the cartoon style is the same as
2:14:26
Darren O'Neill's cartoon style and every other
2:14:29
cartoon style is the same one that Horowitz
2:14:31
ran into.
2:14:33
Because that's all.
2:14:34
It's not even outputting good stuff anymore.
2:14:36
In fact, Scaramanga's Mexican Protestacan down further down,
2:14:42
which I liked a lot, but you rejected
2:14:46
because Curry and Dvorak was too small.
2:14:49
You can't read it.
2:14:50
It was too small.
2:14:50
It was too small.
2:14:52
But why is Scaramanga doing that?
2:14:54
What happened to his photorealistic stuff?
2:14:57
It can't be done anymore.
2:14:58
I'm telling you, it's like Mike, Mike Reilly's
2:15:01
entire catalog was boomers complaining about AI.
2:15:05
No, I got more complaints coming up.
2:15:08
Oh, yeah.
2:15:09
Just so you know.
2:15:10
Known fact.
2:15:11
Was there anything else that we like?
2:15:13
Yeah, you like the crosswalk down below Scaramanga's
2:15:16
thing, which I use for the newsletter.
2:15:18
Yeah, because and the only reason why is
2:15:20
that kind of reminded me of the Beatles,
2:15:22
you know, the Abbey Road album cover.
2:15:26
And it was OK.
2:15:26
But again, Digital 2112 man.
2:15:29
And what's going to happen is his art
2:15:32
is going to start sucking because the AI
2:15:34
is sucking up his art and it's going
2:15:35
to suck worse.
2:15:36
It's going to degrade.
2:15:39
Digital 2112 man also did the one another
2:15:42
one I like, which is the Rotten Fruit.
2:15:45
Yeah, which is down the next layer.
2:15:47
And did you hear that the Atari chess
2:15:51
computer program beat Chad GPT at chess?
2:15:55
No.
2:15:56
The Atari program in an emulator from the
2:15:59
80s.
2:16:00
Yes.
2:16:01
Yeah.
2:16:02
And Chad GPT was mad.
2:16:04
It was like, well, you know, it had
2:16:08
all kinds of excuses.
2:16:09
If we just start over, then I can
2:16:11
show you I can win, was basically Chad
2:16:13
GPT's answer every single time.
2:16:14
Yeah, I think.
2:16:15
Yeah, that's when you walk.
2:16:17
Yes, you're two out of three, five, three
2:16:19
out of five.
2:16:20
Yeah, right.
2:16:20
But that five out of seven.
2:16:22
What's next?
2:16:22
That just goes to show.
2:16:23
You know, this stuff is no good.
2:16:26
It's not what it's great for is a
2:16:29
so-called help desk.
2:16:31
I think it's great for that.
2:16:33
Yeah.
2:16:34
How can I help you?
2:16:36
Your trash will be picked up on Thursday.
2:16:38
Would you like a special time for ten
2:16:40
dollars extra?
2:16:41
It can do that.
2:16:42
I think help desk call center valid.
2:16:46
Everything else.
2:16:47
No good art.
2:16:48
Disappointing.
2:16:50
Disappointing.
2:16:50
I miss our artists.
2:16:51
I really do.
2:16:53
Well, I don't.
2:16:54
They've deserted us.
2:16:55
I think they're the new prompt.
2:16:57
Jockey artists are doing just fine.
2:16:59
I think it sucks.
2:17:01
It's not it's not fine.
2:17:02
OK, it's fine.
2:17:03
Yes, it's fine.
2:17:04
It's not great.
2:17:05
It's just fine.
2:17:07
OK, if you have a funny concept, you
2:17:09
can still win, but it's not there's nothing
2:17:12
is stunning anymore.
2:17:14
Do you think there's anything stunning like, wow,
2:17:16
that's just so great, so beautiful?
2:17:18
No, no.
2:17:19
About, say, any one of these pieces that
2:17:21
you bitch and moan about constantly, if you
2:17:23
put it back in time five years and
2:17:26
dropped it in, you'd win.
2:17:28
Yeah.
2:17:29
And Mike Reilly.
2:17:30
Exactly.
2:17:31
And he's deserted us.
2:17:33
Yes, he has.
2:17:34
Yes.
2:17:34
Mike Reilly has left the building.
2:17:36
Yes.
2:17:37
I don't think he listens to the show
2:17:38
anymore.
2:17:39
No, no.
2:17:39
Because of you.
2:17:40
He's like the Dvorak.
2:17:41
I hate him.
2:17:41
All right.
2:17:42
So yes, thank you very much.
2:17:45
Digital Man 2112 for your win and no
2:17:48
agenda.
2:17:49
Artgenerator.com.
2:17:50
Anybody can prompt and participate these days, apparently.
2:17:54
Now we thank our executive and associate executive
2:17:57
producers for Father's Day for episode 1773 1776
2:18:02
coming up soon.
2:18:04
This is where we chose.
2:18:06
That's right.
2:18:06
This is where we thank everybody who supported
2:18:08
the show.
2:18:09
Fifty dollars or more.
2:18:10
In fact, in this particular segment, two hundred
2:18:13
dollars or above.
2:18:14
Not only do we thank you.
2:18:15
Not only do we tell people the number,
2:18:17
because numerology is important.
2:18:19
We will also read your note and you
2:18:21
get an associate executive producership for this episode,
2:18:25
for this show.
2:18:26
It's good for your lifetime.
2:18:27
You can use it anywhere you wish.
2:18:29
Anywhere that Hollywood credits are accepted.
2:18:31
They will accept this one, including IMDB.com.
2:18:34
Three hundred dollars or above and you get
2:18:36
an executive producer credit.
2:18:38
Same deal.
2:18:39
We read your note.
2:18:40
Some long notes today, but there's some Father's
2:18:41
Day stuff in here.
2:18:42
So we're okay with it.
2:18:43
Eric Boss, B-A-U-S-S, Boss,
2:18:48
Boss, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, comes in.
2:18:52
Check this out.
2:18:54
With two donations of one thousand thirty three
2:18:57
combined two thousand sixty six.
2:19:01
And he says, I.T.M. No agenda
2:19:03
nation.
2:19:04
It's true.
2:19:05
Couples that know agenda together stay together.
2:19:08
Our love is lit.
2:19:09
I am finalizing my wife, Deanna.
2:19:13
And it's grueling years of scholarship with these

2:19:28
That's Professor Adam, Professor John to you.
2:19:31
Without your mentorship, this would not have been
2:19:33
possible.
2:19:34
Please deduce Deanna.
2:19:36
Oh, you've been deduced.
2:19:40
Seeing as this is her first donation, although
2:19:42
she's a longtime listener for my wife, please
2:19:45
bestow the title of Dame Deanna, beacon of
2:19:48
good heart.
2:19:48
And my title shall be Sir Eric, the
2:19:51
unfiltered of good heart.
2:19:52
Speaking of good heart, check out the best

I didn't see that coming.

2:20:22
Jobs, karma, jingle, please.
2:20:24
In Christ Jesus, Godspeed, Eric Deanna and good
2:20:27
heart, Michigan.
2:20:28
You bet.
2:20:29
And thank you so much.
2:20:30
Your titles and your Ph.D.'s coming up.
2:20:33
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
2:20:36
Let's vote for jobs.
2:20:39
Let's take a look at this.
2:20:40
Karma.
2:20:40
I want to take a look at Das
2:20:41
Nordhaus.
2:20:42
Das Nordhaus dot net.
2:20:45
Go ahead.
2:20:46
While you're doing that, I'll plug Sam Hamad.
2:20:51
Hamad or Hamadi.
2:20:52
He's in Commerce Township, Michigan.
2:20:55
And he came in another $1,000 Ph
2:20:58
.D., $1,000 from him, but no notes.
2:21:01
So he has to get a double up
2:21:02
karma.
2:21:04
You've got karma.
2:21:09
Okay, I'm looking at Das Nordhaus dot net.
2:21:13
Wow, it is a beach house.
2:21:15
Yeah.
2:21:16
It's a cool beach house.
2:21:18
How big?
2:21:19
Uh, let me see.
2:21:22
Does it say how many?
2:21:23
How many?
2:21:24
Let me see.
2:21:25
How many rooms?
2:21:26
It looks big.
2:21:30
Seven bedrooms.
2:21:33
Three and a half baths.
2:21:36
That's beautiful.
2:21:37
It's got a bonus room, a breakfast room.
2:21:40
Oh, man.
2:21:41
I didn't get a deal.
2:21:42
I could take Dina to Lake Michigan.
2:21:44
Troy Walters.
2:21:46
Yes.
2:21:46
I was going to say, maybe one of
2:21:48
the reasons the trolls are so low today.
2:21:50
I just got a note from Janet, who
2:21:53
says she's been trying to get listened to
2:21:56
the live stream and she can't.
2:21:58
No.
2:21:59
How long do I have to wait?
2:22:01
It says it's coming, but will it?
2:22:02
What should I give up?
2:22:04
Where is she looking?
2:22:06
I don't know.
2:22:07
Oh, you know what?
2:22:09
It's very.
2:22:10
No, I know.
2:22:10
I hate the life.
2:22:11
I hate the bad signal.
2:22:13
Everybody got the bad signal.
2:22:14
I don't know what she's talking about.
2:22:16
Let me see.
2:22:16
She has two notes and she's so panicked.
2:22:19
Well, did she go to troll room dot
2:22:21
IO?
2:22:21
That's I mean, I've said it a million
2:22:23
times.
2:22:24
Anyway, Troy Walters in Long, Long Warren.
2:22:28
Long, Long Warren, Long Warren, Long Warren, Victoria,
2:22:32
Australia, one thousand dollars, which I'm guessing is
2:22:36
is Australian dollar reduce matters not night number
2:22:40
three.
2:22:42
He says, do you remember when John ran
2:22:44
the strip club and he sends a link?
2:22:46
Actually, I saw this note come in and
2:22:50
I and I posted the link on X.
2:22:53
This is the Gitmo Nation murder in Australia.
2:22:56
Do you remember that whole YouTube video from
2:22:59
13 years ago?
2:23:00
Did you look at it vaguely?
2:23:02
No.
2:23:02
Oh, it's so good.
2:23:04
They did.
2:23:04
Oh, no, I did.
2:23:05
Yeah.
2:23:05
The one.
2:23:05
Yes.
2:23:06
Yes.
2:23:06
The one that they were.
2:23:07
The guy gets shot in the alley.
2:23:09
Shot in the head.
2:23:11
Yeah, it was great.
2:23:12
I guess he was one.
2:23:13
I think I'm pretty sure Troy is one
2:23:15
of the producers of that.
2:23:16
And that was I don't remember the thing
2:23:17
when it came out.
2:23:18
Oh, I do.
2:23:19
And it was before I and they and
2:23:22
they did some video overlays and look pretty
2:23:24
good.
2:23:24
It was fun.
2:23:25
Yeah, the Gitmo Nation cops trying to come
2:23:28
and get people shooting him in the head
2:23:29
and people with Hello Slave T-shirts where
2:23:32
you could still wear them.
2:23:35
Good times.
2:23:36
Thank you very much, Troy.
2:23:37
Thank you for everything, brother.
2:23:40
So so we are.
2:23:43
Janet has sent in a bunch of screenshots
2:23:46
from the troll room and she claims she
2:23:48
can't hear anything.
2:23:50
Look, I can't.
2:23:51
I can't.
2:23:52
I know I can't do anything.
2:23:53
I'm just saying tech stuff for her.
2:23:54
Maybe something's amiss.
2:23:56
There's nothing amiss.
2:23:57
It works fine.
2:23:59
OK, well, I'm just saying she's I don't
2:24:02
normally see this sort of complaining.
2:24:03
I don't know what to tell you.
2:24:05
I can't help it.
2:24:06
I'm doing a show.
2:24:08
OK, I'll send you the note.
2:24:10
Yeah, take care of it later.
2:24:13
OK.
2:24:15
Onward, I think you had the which where
2:24:17
you're up with Chris Kearns.
2:24:19
Oh, Chris.
2:24:20
Yes, man.
2:24:22
Billerica, Billerica, Billerica.
2:24:25
Is that right?
2:24:25
Massachusetts never has bugs.
2:24:27
No, sounds right.
2:24:28
Thanks for the show.
2:24:30
I'd like my knight named to be Sir
2:24:32
Chris of Billerica.
2:24:34
I know it's pronounced differently.
2:24:36
It's got to be a little additional.
2:24:38
What?
2:24:39
Maybe Billerica could be better.
2:24:42
It could be no, no additional items at
2:24:46
the table for me.
2:24:47
No jingles, no karma.
2:24:48
God bless Chris.
2:24:49
All right.
2:24:50
Then we go to Joop.
2:24:52
Joop van de Pet in Eindhoven in the
2:24:55
Netherlands.
2:24:56
One thousand dollars.
2:24:58
And he says a few weeks ago, I
2:24:59
asked John to bring back the Ph.D.
2:25:01
immediate deconstruction because I think that having attended
2:25:03
more than 400 classes in over 400 years
2:25:06
now qualifies me for this coveted academic title.
2:25:10
Yes, it was.
2:25:11
He was the one who was the one
2:25:12
who triggered this.
2:25:13
So I was thrilled to hear I could
2:25:14
be graduating in the class of twenty five.
2:25:17
I hereby send you my tuition fee, which
2:25:19
also brings me to instant knighthood.
2:25:22
As my knight name, I would like to
2:25:23
be known as Sir Vix Destroyer.
2:25:25
Wait, that's way too offensive.
2:25:26
Let's go for Sir.
2:25:29
Sir T...
2:25:30
Tiefied?
2:25:31
Maverick?
2:25:32
Tiefied?
2:25:32
Tiefied?
2:25:33
What do you think that is?
2:25:35
T-I-F-I-E-D.
2:25:37
Tiefied.
2:25:39
Hello, I'm looking for feedback.
2:25:41
I have got nothing.
2:25:43
Sir Tiefied Maverick of the Peaks and Poulders.
2:25:46
Tiffied.
2:25:46
Tiffied.
2:25:47
No, it's not Tiffied.
2:25:48
Tiffied.
2:25:49
Tiffied.
2:25:49
Tiffied.
2:25:50
Sir...
2:25:50
Oh, Sir Tiefied.
2:25:51
Sir Tiefied.
2:25:51
Sir Tiefied.
2:25:52
Well, duh.
2:25:55
Sir Tiefied Maverick.
2:25:57
OK, got it.
2:25:57
Of the Peaks and Poulders.
2:25:59
As it reflects my cultural heritage being born
2:26:01
in Colorado near Peaks...
2:26:03
Not Pikes Peak and living in the Netherlands.
2:26:05
Can I have tulips and tumbleweeds at the
2:26:07
round table, please?
2:26:08
Why, yes, of course you may.
2:26:09
Can I eat those?
2:26:11
Well, you can.
2:26:12
You can.
2:26:12
Hey, it's whatever he wants.
2:26:14
You can have whatever you want.
2:26:15
Forget about the arrangement.
2:26:16
Yes, a centerpiece.
2:26:19
I have a couple of requests.
2:26:20
When I donated for the first time a
2:26:22
while back, my note mentioned that I didn't
2:26:24
want to be a douchebag when meeting Adam
2:26:26
at the meetup near Schiphol, but I forgot
2:26:28
to explicitly ask for a de-douching.
2:26:31
Therefore, I never got one.
2:26:32
Please officially de-douche me.
2:26:35
You've been de-douched.
2:26:38
Also, could you put my girlfriend Oshra on
2:26:41
the birthday list for show 1777?
2:26:44
You're gonna have to email this back, brother.
2:26:46
That's...
2:26:47
I mean, Jay is pretty good at it,
2:26:48
but email just in case.
2:26:50
She turns 40 on the 30th of June.
2:26:52
Last time I donated, I asked for jobs
2:26:54
and relationship karma, but I received neither.
2:26:57
Since then, I did manage to find both
2:26:58
a great job and an awesome girlfriend, so
2:27:00
I guess I can go karmaless this time
2:27:02
around.
2:27:02
However, he wants WTC7, and we told you
2:27:05
so on no agenda, which is actually a
2:27:07
banned jingle, but we've banned it so long
2:27:11
that I'll play it because we don't like
2:27:13
spiking the ball.
2:27:13
Thank you for your courage, says Joop van
2:27:15
der Putt.
2:27:18
WTC7 won't go away.
2:27:21
We told you so on no agenda.
2:27:25
There you go.
2:27:26
Yeah, that's no good.
2:27:27
Yeah.
2:27:28
Okay.
2:27:30
Anyway, that was a long...
2:27:31
I would call that the long note of
2:27:33
the day.
2:27:33
Long note.
2:27:33
That was a long note.
2:27:34
There's more to come.
2:27:35
But Baronettes Kelly in Sayville, New York.
2:27:41
Okay, Ville.
2:27:43
ICM gents, I hope you have a very
2:27:45
happy Father's Day and a happy Father's Day
2:27:47
to my amazing husband, Joe.
2:27:49
Yo, yo, Joe.
2:27:50
Thanks for putting up with all the estrogen
2:27:52
in our household.
2:27:55
Just some yak karma.
2:27:57
Thanks, boys.
2:27:58
Baronettes Kelly of the longest island.
2:28:03
You've got karma.
2:28:09
Oops, there's the topper.
2:28:11
Yeah, Amzie Meyer from New Rockford, North Dakota.
2:28:15
333.33. In the morning, sorry to blow
2:28:18
out your spreadsheet again, John.
2:28:21
Not long ago, I got my tax return.
2:28:22
The mail asked my wife if I could
2:28:23
donate it to no agenda.
2:28:25
Reluctantly, she said yes.
2:28:27
That's a good idea.
2:28:28
The small amount of stolen treasure I've been
2:28:30
able to recover is being donated in honor
2:28:32
of my father for Father's Day, which will
2:28:34
make him a knight.
2:28:35
He should be knighted Sir Preston, knight of
2:28:37
the CS.
2:28:38
I'd also like to call out Jeremiah as
2:28:40
a douchebag.
2:28:42
When the mask mandates were in place, Dad
2:28:45
went to hospital a few times.
2:28:46
When he was told to mask up, he
2:28:48
told the nurses that he can't because he
2:28:49
has CS.
2:28:51
Why?
2:28:52
Because CS stands for common sense.
2:28:55
I don't think he's listed on the Knights.
2:28:59
Okay, I'll check it.
2:29:01
Dad, you're an amazing father and role model
2:29:03
to me and your other human resources.
2:29:05
I love you.
2:29:07
On a more sobering note, I would like
2:29:09
to ask for prayers for all those who
2:29:10
have taken the jab.
2:29:11
Life goes on and it isn't easy to
2:29:13
be ignorant when you're healthy, but I worked
2:29:15
with someone who recently died of heart complications
2:29:17
after being through hell and back with blood
2:29:20
thinners, medications, and open heart surgery.
2:29:22
It's frightening to hear people discuss taking 10
2:29:24
different medications to counteract the side effects of
2:29:28
the one or two they actually need.
2:29:30
He was also vaxxed and boosted.
2:29:31
His wife also started having similar issues, though
2:29:33
I haven't kept up with her.
2:29:35
Another former co-worker of mine who was
2:29:36
only 59 had two strokes and has been
2:29:38
calling me to tell me she won't be
2:29:40
coming in for work even though that she
2:29:43
stopped working here over a year ago.
2:29:45
Adam, go set Rogan straight about AI.
2:29:48
He's becoming part of the op.
2:29:52
I did it on the last show.
2:29:54
I told him he was wrong.
2:29:56
With love, Sir Amzie, Knight of the Northern
2:29:58
Plains.
2:29:59
May God bless the two of you and
2:30:02
thank you for your courage.
2:30:04
So let me make sure we have Sir
2:30:07
Preston.
2:30:08
Knight of the C.S. on the list.
2:30:12
Okay, you may continue while I do that.
2:30:14
Yes, and Angel Young in Tucson, Arizona.
2:30:18
Our first associate executive producer at 263.22.
2:30:21
There's no note.
2:30:22
Uh-oh.
2:30:23
That means a double up karma.
2:30:24
You're getting all the good ones today.
2:30:26
You've got.
2:30:26
Yeah, I am.
2:30:27
Karma.
2:30:31
Moving right along to Daniela Pompu.
2:30:34
Pompu.
2:30:35
Daniela Pompu.
2:30:36
Los Angeles, California, $250.
2:30:39
And she says, happy birthday, D.J.T.
2:30:42
Which would be Donald Jane, Donald John Trump.
2:30:44
There you go.
2:30:45
Thank you.
2:30:46
So you skipped Sir Stuart.
2:30:49
Oh, well, you do Sir Stuart.
2:30:50
I'm sorry.
2:30:50
I will.
2:30:51
Sir Stuart instead.
2:30:52
We should put Trump on the birthday list.
2:30:54
Why not?
2:30:55
Sir Stuart in Stafford, Staffordshire, UK, 252.70.
2:31:00
To my late father, Ken Walton, who died
2:31:03
24 years ago on Father's Day.
2:31:04
Putting a crimp in the celebration.
2:31:08
Pudding for a birdie.
2:31:10
Well, putting for a birdie on the 11th.
2:31:14
Reminds me of a million golf jokes.
2:31:18
On the 11th green at Bishop's Stortford Golf
2:31:23
Club in Hertfordshire.
2:31:25
Thinking of you on this special day, Dad,
2:31:27
for all the great dads.
2:31:29
Sir Stuart, the angry accountant.
2:31:32
All right.
2:31:33
Sir Donald.
2:31:35
Ah, Sir Donald of Calgary, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada,
2:31:38
233.99. In the morning, John and Adam,
2:31:41
please accept my donation of 222.22 USD.
2:31:45
He did give us.
2:31:46
It doesn't.
2:31:46
233.99 equals 222.22. I seems unlikely.
2:31:52
Isn't Canada almost like 40% down from
2:31:56
our U.S. dollar?
2:31:57
Wouldn't be up.
2:31:58
In honor of my dad, Dr. Cornell Philipschuck.
2:32:04
Philipschuck, who passed away due to bile duct
2:32:07
cancer this past January.
2:32:09
This is, this is sad, sad notes here.
2:32:12
While he left on his own terms, he
2:32:14
was gone too soon.
2:32:15
I miss you, Dad.
2:32:16
I've been in Edmonton for a while after
2:32:18
my dad's passing, but now I'm looking for
2:32:20
a house back in Calgary.
2:32:21
So kindly give me some house hunting karma
2:32:24
as I try to get my ducks in
2:32:25
a row.
2:32:26
Jingles, John's Hot Pockets, trains good, planes bad.
2:32:30
And of course, F cancer.
2:32:31
Thank you for the best podcast in the
2:32:33
universe.
2:32:33
Your pal, Sir Donald of Calgary in the
2:32:36
future free Republic of Alberta.
2:32:39
Hot Pockets.
2:32:40
All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
2:32:45
And a little bit of karma.
2:32:47
Here we go.
2:32:48
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
2:32:49
F cancer karma.
2:32:55
You've got karma.
2:32:59

Amy Lin.
2:33:37
Isn't she from the club, Amy Lin?
2:33:41
Wasn't she a club?

I wonder where she moved to.

2:34:28
Eli's at the heart of Gigawatt.

2:34:31
the business, he's also a full time dad
2:34:33
to our energetic little guy.
2:34:35
While I work my day job, he's up
2:34:37
early chasing a toddler.
2:34:39
Keeping our whole world moving and something and
2:34:42
somehow still reads bedtime stories like nothing ever
2:34:46
happened.
2:34:46
And yeah, coffee helps a lot.

I did 40 installments of value for value.
2:35:23
Add in a couple extra donations.
2:35:25
Finishing with an executive today from my lovely
2:35:27
keeper.
2:35:28
You can do it, too.
2:35:29
I'm vacationing in my birth state of Montana.
2:35:32
What a great Father's Day gift this is
2:35:33
for my keeper.
2:35:34
I would like to be Sir Mountain Man
2:35:36
of the Big Sky.
2:35:37
Thank you for your time and insight for
2:35:39
safe travels home.
2:35:41
Throw me a karma and the oldest jingle
2:35:43
in your catalog.
2:35:44
And then the most recent jingle in the
2:35:46
catalog.
2:35:47
The Alpha and Omega.
2:35:49
So I looked it up and the oldest
2:35:53
that I have in my catalog is actually,
2:35:56
I didn't even, I'd forgotten all about this.
2:36:00
Um, we have, in fact, we just played
2:36:02
this one.
2:36:03
It is the oldest one that we have.
2:36:05
It's a two-parter and that is the
2:36:07
WTC7 jingle.
2:36:09
And I'd forgotten that it consists of two
2:36:11
parts.
2:36:12
Here we go.
2:36:12
The oldest jingle in the catalog.
2:36:16
WTC7 won't go away.
2:36:19
That's right.
2:36:20
Wait, wait.
2:36:21
Part one.
2:36:22
Here comes.
2:36:22
I don't know how to tell my baby.
2:36:27
That's it.
2:36:28
That's the oldest one we have.
2:36:31
And I think that's right.
2:36:32
That's at least by file date.
2:36:35
That makes sense.
2:36:36
And then the most recent one.
2:36:39
Which is soon to be a class, an
2:36:42
instant classic, everybody.
2:36:43
You've got karma.
2:36:46
Huh?
2:36:47
Yeah, finally on the list.
2:36:49
Ah, Linda Lou Patkin in Lakewood, Colorado.
2:36:52
200 bucks and she wants Jobs K.
2:36:56
And asks, need a resume that tells your
2:37:00
story, highlights your wins and shows you why
2:37:03
you're unique.
2:37:06
Visit ImageMakersInc.com for a resume that gets
2:37:09
results.
2:37:09
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.
2:37:11
And work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs
2:37:13
and writer of winning resumes.
2:37:15
Oh, a little addition there.
2:37:17
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and Jobs.
2:37:20
Let's vote for Jobs.
2:37:25
And I did get a note from Sergeant
2:37:28
Fred Castaneda.
2:37:30
The reason I couldn't find it because I
2:37:31
always say Sergeant Fred Castaneda, but it's Castaneda.
2:37:36
And he sent us the check for $201
2:37:39
on the last show, which I couldn't find
2:37:41
his note.
2:37:42
And he did want to say part of
2:37:45
his humble honoring those, this was for actually
2:37:47
for May 25th.
2:37:49
So everything came in late.
2:37:50
He's a Vietnam veteran.
2:37:52
He says, I deliver this as part of
2:37:54
my own humble honoring those whose lives were
2:37:55
taken away in combat.
2:37:57
This is for Memorial Day 2025.
2:37:59
As you know, I served in combat during
2:38:00
the Vietnam War as a combat infantryman.
2:38:03
And I do respect the memorial.
2:38:04
I want to emphasize that this year, the
2:38:06
Memorial Day honors are special.
2:38:09
In fact, Bill O'Reilly mentioned in his
2:38:11
blog that there should be a special proclamation
2:38:13
for Vietnam veterans.
2:38:15
And he thinks that would be a good
2:38:17
idea.
2:38:17
And he would like everyone to ask President
2:38:19
Trump to have a special Vietnam vets in
2:38:23
America proclamation for Memorial Day.
2:38:26
I don't know if it happened for this
2:38:28
Memorial Day, but certainly for next year, of
2:38:32
course, is more than 50 years.
2:38:33
And he always sends me a beautiful photo
2:38:36
that was, I think, in Time Magazine of
2:38:38
Sergeant Fred in Vietnam up to his waist
2:38:42
in swamp water.
2:38:43
And he was a handsome devil, man.
2:38:45
He was a handsome, he was like all
2:38:46
American soldier.
2:38:49
So we appreciate you, Sergeant Fred.
2:38:51
And thank you to our executive and associate
2:38:53

2:38:57

2:39:23
Our formula is this.
2:39:25
We go out, we hit people in the
2:39:28
mouth.
2:39:42
So I promised some griping about AI.
2:39:49
Yeah, I thought that promise was a promise
2:39:52
for the future.
2:39:54
No, no.
2:39:55
Well, the future is here.
2:39:56
Welcome to the future.
2:39:58
It's actually two, two clips.
2:40:00
Apple had their big WWDC conference and, you
2:40:05
know, liquid glass.
2:40:07
It's gorgeous, but, but missing, missing from all
2:40:13
of the announcements was the, the overhyped and
2:40:16
overpromised Apple intelligence.
2:40:20
And the Wall Street Journal somehow, amazingly, got
2:40:26
an exclusive interview with Craig Federici.
2:40:29
You know, Craig, he's the chief of software.
2:40:32
And Greg Joswiak, he is the head of
2:40:36
marketing.
2:40:38
And he's like, hey, what happened to Siri?
2:40:42
Weren't you supposed, aren't you Apple?
2:40:43
What happened to Siri?
2:40:44
Where is our super Apple intelligence from Siri?
2:40:47
Yeah, you got liquid glass.
2:40:49
It's gorgeous.
2:40:49
But what about your AI strategy?
2:40:52
Last year, you announced a smarter AI driven
2:40:55
Siri.
2:40:56
Where is she?
2:40:56
We had a really two phase plan, two
2:41:00
versions of an architecture to deliver a great
2:41:03
Siri.
2:41:03
And as we got into the conference, we
2:41:06
had V1 working to do basic capabilities that
2:41:11
we showed off at the conference.
2:41:14
So we had some real software we were
2:41:16
able to demonstrate there and show what was
2:41:18
coming.
2:41:19
But it didn't converge in the way, quality
2:41:22
wise, that we needed it to.
2:41:24
That's Apple speak for it really sucked.
2:41:26
We had something working.
2:41:27
But then as you got off the beaten
2:41:29
path, and we know with Siri, it's open
2:41:31
ended what you might ask it to do,
2:41:32
what, and the data that might be on
2:41:34
your device that would be used in personal
2:41:36
knowledge.
2:41:36
And we wanted to be really, really reliable.
2:41:39
In other words, it was hallucinating.
2:41:41
And we weren't able to achieve the reliability
2:41:43
in the time we we thought.
2:41:45
But there was a working version of this.
2:41:47
This wasn't just, yeah, vaporware.
2:41:49
Oh, no, no, no, no.
2:41:51
Of course.
2:41:51
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
2:41:54
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
2:41:54
no, no, no, no, no.
2:41:54
It wasn't real.
2:41:55
It was a real demo.
2:41:56
Oh, no, no, no, no.
2:41:57
Of course, no, we were filming real working
2:41:59
software with a real large language model with
2:42:01
real semantic search.
2:42:02
That's what you saw.
2:42:03
Yeah, there's this narrative out there that yeah,
2:42:05
it was demo ware only.
2:42:07
know it was it was again something we
2:42:11
thought as Craig said would actually ship by
2:42:13
later in the year and look we don't
2:42:15
want to disappoint customers we want we never
2:42:16
do but it would been more disappointed ship
2:42:18
something that didn't hit our quality standard that
2:42:20
had you know an error rate that we
2:42:22
felt was unacceptable so we we made what
2:42:24
we thought was the best decision I'd make
2:42:25
it again Steve Jobs is rolling over in
2:42:29
his grave never would Steve Jobs admit defeat
2:42:33
like that he would blame it on the
2:42:34
user you're holding it wrong you did it
2:42:37
wrong you're doing it we'll send you a
2:42:40
rubber bumper but you're doing it wrong so
2:42:42
of course how is this possible you're your
2:42:45
Apple it's great that you set this high
2:42:47
bar you're also Apple I mean you've got
2:42:50
more engineers more cash than most companies maybe
2:42:54
any company why can't why couldn't make it
2:42:56
I mean this is this is new technology
2:42:59
I think when it comes to automating capabilities
2:43:05
on devices in a reliable way no one's
2:43:08
doing it really well right now and we
2:43:12
wanted to be the first we wanted to
2:43:13
do it best and I guess say we
2:43:16
had very promising early results and working initial
2:43:18
versions but not to the level that as
2:43:21
we began living on it internally and feeling
2:43:24
we're like this this just doesn't work reliably
2:43:26
enough to be an Apple product so this
2:43:29
stuff takes hard work but we do see
2:43:32
AI as as a long-term transformational wave
2:43:36
is one that's going to affect our industry
2:43:39
and then and of course our society for
2:43:41
decades to come we want to get it
2:43:43
right there's there's no need to rush out
2:43:45
with the wrong features and the wrong product
2:43:47
just to be first it can't be done
2:43:57
Apple won't do it because it's no good
2:44:01
it just is no good it's not gonna
2:44:04
happen if Apple can't do it who can
2:44:06
I mean they can make it look gorgeous
2:44:09
but no I don't think it can be
2:44:11
done John I don't think it can be
2:44:13
done it can be done but not by
2:44:16
Apple nah it's no no good it's not
2:44:19
all they had to do is just release
2:44:22
sir with a different voice and say it
2:44:24
was a I they would have gotten away
2:44:26
have anonymous Indians in the background just scrambling
2:44:29
and so we know that the kovat
2:44:39
shot is a very controversial in America because
2:44:42
people are losing access to it and just
2:44:47
because it's not recommended they're not losing access
2:44:49
but interestingly Canada is following suit healthy individuals
2:44:55
will be paying out of pocket if they
2:44:57
want a kovat 19 shot the province making
2:45:00
the announcement Friday it means starting this fall
2:45:03
most Albertans will have to pay full price
2:45:05
for the vaccines and the shots will be
2:45:07
administered through community health clinics not available at
2:45:11
pharmacies as they have been in years past
2:45:13
now there are exceptions seniors in supportive living
2:45:16
environments home care clients and those older than
2:45:20
65 or six months and older with any
2:45:23
underlying medical conditions or immunocompromised they're gonna kill
2:45:28
their seniors they just want to get rid
2:45:30
of them well that's Canada's whole thing oh
2:45:34
they always have the option to you know
2:45:35
you you're gonna have this heavy medical bill
2:45:38
or you can kill yourself well this has
2:45:40
been a Canada thing for some time I
2:45:42
happen to have two clips from Del Bigtree
2:45:45
you know Del Bigtree yeah and he had
2:45:49
on this woman what's her name Angelina Ireland
2:45:53
and she had quite an interesting story about
2:45:57
the so made is the name of the
2:45:59
is the acronym for medically assisted something death
2:46:04
what is it medically assisted induced death what
2:46:07
is it what is it for what does
2:46:08
it stand for again mad Canada medically assisted
2:46:14
Oh medical assistance in dying oh it's even
2:46:17
easier to remember medical it's not even a
2:46:21
night cool term is like so it seems
2:46:27
to be kind of a mandatory feature of
2:46:29
all health care in Canada at the time
2:46:31
when they were pushing made down on to
2:46:35
everybody who gets public money okay so any
2:46:39
any company that gets public money anywhere well
2:46:42
it's a public health care system everybody gets
2:46:44
public money so everyone's on it everybody's getting
2:46:47
money it's everybody it's everybody Wow so we
2:46:51
we did have a public partner partnership public
2:46:55
-private partnership with the Fraser Health Authority okay
2:46:58
and we were told in our hospice so
2:47:01
I became the president of the Delta Hospice
2:47:03
Society and we were told because we had
2:47:07
a hospice that we operated a facility that
2:47:11
we actually built we fundraised eight million dollars
2:47:15
we built it we got a land lease
2:47:18
for 35 years we built those buildings on
2:47:21
it we were told that if we want
2:47:23
money we're gonna have to start killing our
2:47:24
patients we're not killing our palliative care we
2:47:29
don't do that right the whole point is
2:47:31
just ease the suffering as they go through
2:47:34
this experience well life yeah until your natural
2:47:36
end which I could help you with yeah
2:47:38
right and so they said well you're not
2:47:40
getting any more money we said that's fine
2:47:42
we don't want your money and we don't
2:47:44
need your money Wow okay right so we
2:47:47
had we're sitting on this land with our
2:47:49
buildings so we had 25 years left on
2:47:52
that land lease so as soon as we
2:47:53
started to resist and be defiant not get
2:47:57
into lockstep they canceled that lease with 25
2:48:00
years left Wow right yeah it evicted us
2:48:03
from our buildings took our money away and
2:48:07
basically took our facility from us kicked us
2:48:09
off the land and expropriated those buildings eight
2:48:13
and a half million dollars worth add to
2:48:15
the government so the government walked in started
2:48:19
to operate our hospice with us gone and
2:48:23
provide euthanasia there man they're just killing their
2:48:29
citizens this is the medical system in both
2:48:32
countries we had that clip from the Joe
2:48:36
Rogan show last show yeah where the woman
2:48:39
talked about how the hospital is just killing
2:48:41
patients with the morphine overdose yes get rid
2:48:44
of them yeah get rid of them but
2:48:46
yeah this idea that well you know you
2:48:48
you get some money from us you got
2:48:50
to kill some of these people off I
2:48:51
mean there are there are drain as they're
2:48:53
useless eaters this is the kind of kind
2:48:57
of elitist mentality we're dealing with here you
2:49:02
know what good is it it was so
2:49:03
great so what grandma's in the she's okay
2:49:07
she's alive it's okay so what get rid
2:49:09
of her it's it's kind of ghoulish kind
2:49:14
of I mean this is this is the
2:49:15
thing people in Fredericksburg should be worried about
2:49:17
oh I'm sorry they're not because you know
2:49:20
President Trump is gonna roll out the med
2:49:21
beds and it's gonna be great you know
2:49:24
about the med beds don't you know here
2:49:26
we go the whole everyone's talk I thought
2:49:29
we mentioned this med beds med beds med
2:49:33
beds look it up med beds MED BEDS
2:49:37
explain the med beds oh it's a new
2:49:41
breakthrough and President Trump's gonna roll it out
2:49:44
they're gonna be everywhere the med bed is
2:49:46
you lay down on the bed no matter
2:49:48
what issue you have it has sonic vibrations
2:49:51
it will heal all the sonic vibration it
2:49:53
will heal you the med beds because we
2:49:58
know it's vibes that cause everything it does
2:50:00
the work vibes man I'll be vibe coding
2:50:03
on my med bed there's a second part
2:50:05
to this because of course Dell says sorry
2:50:08
I'm gonna tell you you can get clip
2:50:10
of the day for that oh well thank
2:50:13
you very much that that wasn't even expected
2:50:15
as a follow-up Dell said well what
2:50:22
about the media aren't they covering this a
2:50:26
period of time and all just because you're
2:50:28
like we're not gonna offer death as one
2:50:30
of the options in our hospice that's right
2:50:32
so you are now compelled you see and
2:50:35
this kind of made right is conquest and
2:50:41
then compel that's the dance that's the modus
2:50:44
operandi that they're using and that's going to
2:50:46
be facilitated by the court system by the
2:50:49
judiciary yeah right and all of ours our
2:50:52
court our courts and our judges are appointed
2:50:54
in Canada appointed by the government yes and
2:50:59
so the government is controlling the whole thing
2:51:00
and what's so what where's the media come
2:51:02
into this why is the media not pushing
2:51:04
back I mean because I mean here I
2:51:06
mean I know here we have pharmaceutical control
2:51:09
of our media so we'd be kind of
2:51:11
screwed here but you don't have that in
2:51:12
Canada no we have government control of our
2:51:14
media the government gives the media billions of
2:51:17
dollars so basically it's you know I joke
2:51:20
kind of not really that is like Soviet
2:51:22
style Pravda yeah that's our media so none
2:51:25
of the television stations they all get government
2:51:27
funding I'll get money but particularly the CBC
2:51:30
yeah that's the state media outlet and they
2:51:34
get money right and of course you know
2:51:36
we have never been able to get our
2:51:38
message on to the legacy media into the
2:51:40
mainstream media it's all very pro-maid so
2:51:44
people don't really even know how bad it
2:51:46
is oh that's why you get all your
2:51:49
Canadians listening to the no agenda show we'll
2:51:52
tell you how bad it is just give
2:51:55
in just become any government money well these
2:51:57
that we know of just we're getting that
2:52:00
Jew money though get enough Jew money or
2:52:04
government money all right five minute warning okay
2:52:09
well I got a couple of let's see
2:52:11
what we can do here I don't have
2:52:13
much left anyway well we could you know
2:52:17
I was watching a Netflix and there's a
2:52:19
special called cocaine flights or so there's some
2:52:24
cocaine specials very short documentary is it involves
2:52:27
Sarkozy oh and they were trying to try
2:52:30
to blame him for smuggling cocaine or something
2:52:34
and he says a joke but then meanwhile
2:52:36
this smear piece comes out on Sarkozy from
2:52:39
the BBC there they're out to get Sarkozy
2:52:42
the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been
2:52:44
stripped of France's highest honor the Legion d
2:52:47
'honneur as a result of his conviction for
2:52:49
corruption mr.
2:52:50
Sarkozy was found guilty of bribing a judge
2:52:52
four years ago and finally handed a three
2:52:55
-year sentence in December last year Wow I
2:52:59
didn't know that yeah of course not why
2:53:01
would you know mm-hmm so that my
2:53:04
last clip I'll play a tick-tock clip
2:53:06
oh thank goodness I'm gonna save one of
2:53:10
them for later but this one here is
2:53:12
this is these are embarrassing these are racist
2:53:14
clips that keep cropping up and it's not
2:53:17
like anyone's making these dumb women go online
2:53:22
and say stupid stuff and you have to
2:53:25
look at and say is she an actress
2:53:26
is this acting and you have to say
2:53:28
no I don't think it is and in
2:53:30
this case it's a woman complaining about having
2:53:33
her car repaired and she doesn't understand the
2:53:37
word catalytic she thinks it's Cadillac and so
2:53:43
she doesn't get the fact that she thinks
2:53:46
they're trying to convert her Jeep into a
2:53:48
Cadillac and it's just it's a mess I
2:53:50
love it when people think that I'm stupid
2:53:52
I love when people think that I'm stupid
2:53:54
because tell me why I'm at the mechanic
2:53:56
shop and he talking about I need a
2:53:58
Cadillac converter but I drive a Jeep make
2:54:02
it make sense I think I'm stupid ladies
2:54:05
when y'all going down to the mechanic
2:54:06
shops take somebody with y'all your brother
2:54:09
your uncle your daddy your boyfriend somebody stop
2:54:13
going to these mechanic shops by yourselves cuz
2:54:15
they know we don't know anything about cars
2:54:17
so they're trying to give us any type
2:54:18
of services that we services we don't even
2:54:20
need outrageous prices because I don't understand make
2:54:25
it make sense a Cadillac converter I don't
2:54:27
even have a Cadillac a Jeep converter maybe
2:54:30
they think we stupid ladies don't let these
2:54:34
mechanics play in your face and it'd be
2:54:35
the shade tree ones all the way down
2:54:37
to the dealerships they all try to play
2:54:39
in our faces so next time when I
2:54:41
go get my car fixed make best believe
2:54:43
I'm gonna have somebody with me because I'm
2:54:44
not playing with these people today I'm not
2:54:46
playing with these people they think they got
2:54:48
me but ain't got me I have a
2:54:53
since we're doing car talk I have a
2:54:54
car story so Tina went to get a
2:54:58
new car not a new car a year
2:55:00
old you know we're not stupid I gotta
2:55:02
buy a brand new car so she but
2:55:03
she goes the dealer she gets a year
2:55:06
-old car and she and I said just
2:55:08
make sure it has everything you want and
2:55:10
the one thing she asked for was adaptive
2:55:13
cruise control which is you know it's a
2:55:17
nice feature adaptive yeah so that it you
2:55:21
know you don't have you can just set
2:55:23
the cruise control it'll stay X amount of
2:55:25
car lengths behind the car in front of
2:55:26
you if the car slows down your car
2:55:28
slows down radar in the car okay LIDAR
2:55:31
whatever it's a call it's every car has
2:55:33
it these days so she gets the car
2:55:36
she comes back and it was my request
2:55:39
it was it wasn't even her she doesn't
2:55:40
care she's a car girl she likes to
2:55:43
drive she doesn't I don't want any cruise
2:55:45
controls for wimps so was my request I'm
2:55:49
a wimp I like I like adaptive cruise
2:55:51
control and I say oh that has cruise
2:55:54
control but it's not adaptive she says what
2:55:56
so but you know and we and I
2:55:58
said well if you want to go back
2:56:00
she's nice itself is fine is the big
2:56:02
f-word it's fine I don't need adapter
2:56:04
bar is her car yeah I just won't
2:56:07
drive your car cuz it doesn't have adaptive
2:56:09
cruise control it's her car she says it's
2:56:11
fine and then so she gets the survey
2:56:14
and she puts on the survey you know
2:56:17
not five stars four stars because and she
2:56:21
puts in there and Tina's a survey girl
2:56:23
too she fills out surveys because she's a
2:56:26
used to be in marketing and she's the
2:56:27
season is I would fill out the survey
2:56:29
let people know and she says yeah the
2:56:32
you know the the sales guy said it
2:56:34
had adaptive cruise control and didn't otherwise I'm
2:56:36
happy with the car the sales guy calls
2:56:38
her oh can I send you the survey
2:56:41
again because you know I get dinged in
2:56:43
my compensation if I don't get five stars
2:56:46
on everything so what is the point of
2:56:48
the survey oh this is classic this happened
2:56:51
to me when I was flying Emirates do
2:56:54
tell I've told the story in the show
2:56:57
before I don't think so you fly Emirates
2:56:59
air I'm going to Dubai and so you're
2:57:02
in the Emirates which is a great airline
2:57:04
I mean this is the most comfortable airline
2:57:06
and beautiful food of course everyone's all covered
2:57:08
up in burkas but besides that it's it's
2:57:11
a nice flight and at the before the
2:57:13
flight ends they have these magazines that they
2:57:16
give everybody they say on page six of
2:57:18
this magazine we want you to fill out
2:57:20
these surveys and then they monitor you and
2:57:24
so you have like three or four in
2:57:26
-flight magazine of magazines from various companies and
2:57:28
you and you have to it has which
2:57:30
is your favorite airline you got to check
2:57:32
Emirates and so they make and they check
2:57:35
your they check your work yeah you didn't
2:57:38
share what is this no no no not
2:57:40
cat day Pacific is the Emirates or they
2:57:43
throw this study throw them they'll throw it
2:57:45
out it's like what kind of a survey
2:57:47
is this they do this everywhere it's a
2:57:51
great airline but come on people yeah and
2:57:53
Tina also got a new phone her old
2:57:56
phone she had out of phone like five
2:57:58
years things falling apart so we go to
2:58:00
the T-Mobile store you know and it
2:58:03
takes forever it takes longer to get a
2:58:04
phone than a car yeah oh is it
2:58:07
back it up and move it over up
2:58:09
on T-Mobile for this exact reason and
2:58:12
then as we're about ready to leave the
2:58:14
guy says you know you'll get a survey
2:58:16
it would be great if you could give
2:58:18
me five stars because anything less and I
2:58:21
get dr.
2:58:21
my commission what is the point of the
2:58:23
survey if they're setting you up like that
2:58:25
this is not American this should not be
2:58:28
happening this way however if you get a
2:58:31
survey asking you about the no agenda show
2:58:34
please give us five stars imagine all the
2:58:40

National Guard there was there was no bow
3:15:34

3:15:58
an opportunity and they moved in and they're

just playing right in at Donald Trump's hand
3:16:39
going in hard bottom bottom bottom bottom bottom
3:16:49
bottom and then bottom again bottom bottom bottom
3:16:54
bottom bottom bottom bottom bottom bottom but who's
3:16:58
gonna drop a nuke here this should be
3:17:00
played at high volume preferably in a residential
3:17:04
area because this is my point we need
3:17:14
ever been working in this city really badly
3:17:16
who are they going to get to pick
3:17:19
all the food and the vegetables because I
3:17:21

3:17:39
about it now that's the way it's supposed
3:17:43
well I've been called hysterical for because Americans
3:17:50
don't want to do we know that the
3:17:52
farmers are saying the Americans don't want to
3:17:54
do that because I because that this is
3:17:56
my point that's the way it's supposed to
3:17:59
be I just want to say you know
