The Blurt

00:00 Oh, it was unwatchable. I'm Adam Curry from Northern Silicon Valley. Where we're wondering whatever happened to the sock hop? I'm John C. Dvorak Okay, boomer the sock hop what is that if winning boy did the sock hop became the gig oh

00:41 It became the gig? Yeah, it became the gig. The sock hop. It became the gig! We're gonna go down to Anton's and check out the gig. You know what a sock hop was? Yeah, a sock hop is where the bobby socks would go and dance and hop on their socks I know my mom used to talk about the sock hop all the time. What was the sock hop? Please enlighten me. The sock hop was a dance that schools, high schools generally but I would say grammar schools too would put on in the gym and they required everyone to wear socks so they didn't scratch up the gym floor with their shoes Well now that's interesting! I didn't know that

01:25 So you had to wear socks over your shoes or just socks? No, no. You didn't wear shoes you just had socks so the girls have socks the guys everyone wore socks it was just a dance with now with a bunch of sock wearing kids Have you attended one of these sock ops? Of course I did! We had sock ops all the time they're almost weekly Now did you have to have the right kind of socks so people wouldn't point and go yeah look at them socks oh i mean what was that what was That's actually an interesting point you just made because that never happened No one ever condemned the socks or even mentioned them. Oh, socks had a better life back in the 50s! I would say generally people wore gym socks like the white fluffy ones But my mom was a Bobby Soxer that was just the form of socks that were below the ankle That was just a sock type Yes Bring back to Bobby sock and i think we should start that maybe Doge can help us bring back to bobby sock

02:23 I'm going to sum up, this show is gonna be very short. We're gonna end in 1 minute and 13 seconds. I will sum up the news and then everybody can go home. Elon Musk! Elon Musk! Elon Musk!

03:33 Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's Elon Musk's I gotta say, President Trump is brilliant! He is you know and then and musk is soaking it up. He he I think he thrives on it Oh, he's got him posted he posts on on X Twitter all his pictures of him You know jumping around while they're yelling at him yeah, do it's overlaid of course From the same era of the same genre I got this not as good as that. That was great by the way Thank you, but they're ranting Dems play this because there's a ranting day USA a lot of these are floating around This is just a segment could be an hour. Yeah. Oh yeah We will stand up

04:25 Before we play, what I love so much about this is there was pretty much nobody there. There was more news media than crowd later on in the evening there was a little bit more and you know that moveon.org was sending out stuff and i was looking on The Blue Cry then by the way what a mistake! I clicked on a link Someone sent me it was for a blue cry link. Oh my lord everything there is just And and it was like we didn't elect Elon We got and this is before this this very very sad demonstration by the Democrat Party mainly Shut up

05:14 We will speak up. We will rise up! What's dangerous is that people who work for USAID are wearing masks to protect themselves from Musk. This is a dictatorship in the making. anything. And who the hell does Musk think he is? He has absolutely no right in shutting down USAID, we cannot allow that! We've got to take to the streets first and foremost-

05:53 But, but my kickbacks. My kickbacks this even CNN. CNN was laughing at them that this was surprising to me even though it has that Scott guy whatever who's on the panel its its pretty much all Democrat operatives at the table. And here it is, listen. We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your asses! We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy. We have work to do. Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money! We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk... ...we pledge allegiance to the United States of America! And goddammit shut down the city! We are at war! We will win

06:56 We will win. We won't rest, we won't rest. No we won't. I'm crying, crying. Can we play it again? The Democrats need a real leader okay they need a real leader which currently does not exist in the Democratic Party and there have been caught completely flat-footed with the entire Trump presidency for the last two weeks. And Elon Musk, I said on CNN months ago that Elon Musk would be the most influential advisor to President Trump and that is proving to be true whether you like it or not but Democrats should have had a plan for this they knew it was coming we say this every single night. Project 2025! We knew it! We just talked about it! Project 2025! Trump has said all of these things were going to happen

07:45 line with Elon Musk, which may go down as the smartest thing that any presidential candidate has ever done. From the young vote to tech to a million other things so Democrats needed to have a plan and it may be too late. Yeah Bakari are you fired up after? I'm fired up and ready to go can't you see it in my face? Bakari! So when CNN's laughing at you've really missed the mark You know the funny thing is, I got a note from one of our producers saying, I'm glad you were wrong about Doge. What? Yeah because if you recall me

08:25 I was saying, well you know when at first the whole idea came about. Yeah this is a lot of talk and action and I went and discussed about this at the Hoover Commission and they've been trying to reform that you know take push back on some of these reforms forever yes the Department of Education they've been promising to get rid of that since Reagan because you have to remember that Carter's one that put it in by the way it was Kennedy who put in USAID yeah we'll get to that we're gonna get to USAID I got a lot of US stuff. Of course you do, of course So so I and so I was skeptical saying well You know this I've heard this lot of talk. I've seen it over the years. You know I'm old fart

09:05 And I've seen all this stuff. Oh, and the guy says you know you I'm glad you were wrong and I said I am too! And I realized this is what happened to the Democrats also because they had to be in the same boat thing it that big talkers they all doge okay whatever already Vivek already go Viveke already quit and so it's not gonna nothing is going to happen who knew this was gonna fall apart like it did that I'm not doge but the USA ID and God knows what else is next well you and okay so that's what I'm talking about yeah and I think you do have to admit at this point that we are indeed in a

09:43 The season of reveal! There's stuff being revealed that even I wasn't aware of. You know, like the Politico thing is amazing. Yeah yeah I've got clips on that too. I'll lead you in first let me just do the best line outside USAID with a Democrat Party was Ayanna Pressley. I think she had a really good line and Congress, and the streets. Elon Musk is a Nazi nether baby!

10:19 A Nazi nepo baby. I don't even know where she gets the nepo part from, but that was a good line. What is she talking about though? Nepotism is what that refers to and I'm guessing... Yeah and nepo baby is typically used in show business for somebody whose kid becomes an actor and you're an actor. Exactly. But what Elon Musk's dad was a rocket scientist? What are you talking about?! And it was still good! The Tesla showroom was vandalized with Nazi imagery, so it's starting. It's starting! They're striking out against Elon I'm going to lead you into US ideas Wait a minute... What? Yeah, I know Because he is a Nazi What has the Netherlands got to do with the price of bread Look they have a Tesla show room Elon is a Nazi The Dutch want their bikes back So get out of here! I mean, it makes no sense This is just vandalism for vandalism sake

11:14 It's not like it's bothering them. They've got their own problems, that's probably what it is and we're so frustrated that our country's going down the tubes we're gonna call out a Nia Elon! I don't know...I'm gonna take you into USID with a nice little transitionary clip from your man Kpart. You always say to my buddies your man Kpart, you're the guy who brought Kpart everyone's attention He has, he just it was I mean he is. And the line is your buddy? Yeah your buddy! He's gone flamboyant on everybody President Trump's aggressive efforts to undermine federal agencies with the help of Elon Musk his latest victim is the US Agency for International Development or USAID a government agency that provides development and humanitarian assistance to countries around the world last night The administration removed two of the agency's top

12:06 security officials after they refused to allow four representatives from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, they call it DOGE I call it dodgy. I call it dodgy. I call it dodgy! To access its offices, classified personnel files and security systems that were reportedly beyond their own security levels. In addition most of the staff at the agency's legislative and public affairs bureau was placed on administrative leave Saturday night This afternoon, Musk referred to USAID as a quote criminal organization adding that it was- No. Quote time for it to die. The agency's ex account has since disappeared and the website usaid.gov is offline. Here comes. In addition across the Justice Department and FBI prosecutors agents and leaders are facing down the looming threat of being fired by the administration and replaced with loyalists

13:08 Loyalists! Because he's a Nazi dictator. Loyalists Okay, just briefly on USAID and then I want you to start with the...I got a couple too but i want you to start We have been talking this is bad for the show. We have been moaning about USAID how they've been starting color revolutions disrupting countries around the world what a secretive organization it is with a whole bunch of douchebags in it for the entire length of this show and now they're gonna get rid of It? This is a problem! It's bad for the show! I never thought about that way

13:45 We had in fact a guy that used to listen to the show, used to be a friend of the show. The economic hit man Yes he went off the radar I don't want it happening overboard He didn't like us Well he went to USAID And after we started moaning about USAID stopped emailing us No, we were always... We were moaning about USAID probably for a decade or longer. Yeah but then he went to work for him and was like hey! Well I think what happened is that he also ran into at least a part-time girlfriend who was this Russian spook for the State Department. Yes, State Department spook yes. And she told him not to listen to this show. This happens once in awhile

14:26 Just as a point of order, USAID was started by executive order by President Kennedy Congress then created the Foreign Assistance Act, which made money available. Not that the Congress doesn't in that act did not specify where it's going with saying oh here's this money and the president is the one who has the authority to say where the money is going and at the time in the executive order on a permanent basis President Kennedy delegated that authority to the Secretary of State

15:03 And that's why there has always been this spooky connection between CIA, of course we know. Embassies in foreign countries which are run by the State Department are the safe house for intelligence assets and their front of house is USAID run by Samantha Powers most recently, you know Victoria Nuland is the ambassador or whatever or was the ambassador to USAID. So this is all the wrong people! All of them Yes, Samantha Power married to Cass Sunstein. Is it Sustine or Sunstein? I think it's Sust...Sunstein? Well whatever he just says I thought of Sustein and Sunstein Sunstein so what we did one of the targets of Marxist a Marxist yeah Marxists and one of the early targets of Glenn Beck yes

15:58 Along with Soros and Beck seems to have backed off on his old thesis when he was working for Fox He would always have a bunch of arrows. Yeah The blackboard the black board the black board with arrows going every which way it always pointed at one of two people Cass Sunstein or Soros or sorrows Usually Soros at the end that would yes, or else is usually the big boy yeah, and I Yeah, it was it was pretty funny. Yeah, but she was and then she was the ambassador to the UN She's a sad sack looking redhead that just said you know, it's Irish. She's not even born here She was a born in London I think unless he just posted on X that she got fired You want to hear it? Oh, I'd love to hear I have not seen it well, you can imagine when you suddenly in your inbox find a termination notice or

16:47 leave of absence notice that you didn't expect to get on a flawed predicate, that you're doing radical leftist insubordination. It's pretty jarring and because there are so many lies and falsehoods circulating and so many claims that people are sort With the program, I think people are just completely dislocated. There's no stable ground on which to walk. And then of course most of them have been laid off so they're worried about how they're going to pay the bills and how they're gonna make rent but maybe the part that is the most striking and for me inspiring if not surprising having worked there for four years

17:27 is that you know more the people who work in usa did not come to work a us aid for the money dot civil servants before and servants contractors parties they came to us aid because they want make a difference in the world because they saw america's interests as tied up with the interest of people vulnerable people uh... around the world and so even as their struggling to figure out how to make rent all of a sudden there most struggling with the fear that so many millions of people who relied on us as a country, on USAID as an agency but on them as individuals

18:03 that those individuals out on the world have no place to turn and indeed they're showing up in finding health clinics shuttered and soup kitchens closed and advisors who were helping governments renegotiate debt with china uh... those advisers you know now taken off the books so just the wreckage in the world is what the USAID staff that I'm in touch with Are carrying with them. That's what's keeping them up at night as much as the question of What am I gonna do tomorrow? And you know, how do I take care of my family? Yeah projection much like well How am I gonna go what am I gonna do? What am I going to do tomorrow? So okay the

18:46 Really the most surprising thing and then I want you to play your clips The most surprising thing really was Politico because that was supposed to have gone out the door with the Church Commission There was not supposed to be funding of news organizations from government money, except for our public broadcasters PBS and the National Treasure NPR But what an interesting gambit to have a thousand subscriptions to Politico. And now I'm thinking maybe we'll uncover some book purchases that were done, you know? To get some people up into the top of The New York Times. That's obvious! Oh yeah let's give Michelle Obama half a million dollars or half... What am i thinking?! Millions of dollars to do a book nobody reads

19:37 Oh, let's give her a Netflix conflict. I think the Netflix deals are the ones that are more extreme No, but I mean them at the state of USAID actually buying up books. Yeah! You know that's... There is no... when they start digging into this it's going to go beyond USAID too because you are as my clips i'll have the USAID clips and then I got to play a couple others right after them which indicate that the Pentagon and elsewhere was all part of this. Well save some room for my USAID clips Well, what USAID? Why don't you play yours first and I can... because mine are more uh.. I'd say mine are highly entertaining. But well okay we'll start let's start with these Okay This is a now i got these that this is actually Jesse Watters okay Yeah okay Okay right look So Jesse Waters on Monday did a takedown of USAID This why it's hilarious because Jesse Waters is smug and he likes doing this kind of bit

20:38 So I said, oh this is good. I'm gonna get this for the show and then Tuesday comes along he does another takedown which is better. I said well screw the Monday stuff I'm gonna do this. Record a bunch of stuff okay? So yesterday... He does another one! He does another one and I'm like oh brother so I used this and I had to realize editing his stuff you'll probably catch a few of them You know he's got the best writers at Fox I believe, because he's got the best time slot. So they put the best guys there and of course they don't do credit roles so we have no idea who these writers are and they you know get credited as typical at Fox. Fox in particular just tries to hide the writers and uh i realized that you know you really have to take Jesse Waterstuff and chop it up a lot because

21:30 He goes, he does little asides and what he thinks is funny. Yeah! Is not really funny No, he needs to... He's just got that stupid look on his face like a you know, he has the Bugs Bunny look so it looks kind of amusing So he makes these cuts You cut all that stuff out and the presentation becomes pretty good Alright I'm just saying that in advance because i don't want to hear you say, oh! I heard a cut. Well your dog ears about dogs who perk up. You never hear mine. Alright it's okay so I will not complain about your cuts It's probably... they're pretty good but here is USAID one this the intro we're gonna this are going to be four cuts from Jesse Waters

22:14 Democrats were already losing their minds after Musk froze their foreign aid slush fund. Elon's the first government employee Democrats have ever won a fire, and he's not even taking his salary We're 36 trillion in debt and a few pennies got doged, and the Democrats are grabbing bullhorns like Bush after 9-11. Doge froze a $40 billion deep state super PAC and put 10,000 bureaucrats on paid leave. And it happened so fast one worker had to be rehired to process people's final time sheets. All the expensive artwork hanging in the agency headquarters has been taken down at solid auction. The website is down!

22:53 And there's no more Burt and Ernie in Baghdad. I would just say a strong message to Democrats who are out there pretending to be outraged about the long list of crop that this administration is cutting federal waste and funding like $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala 6 million to fund tourism in Egypt, 20 million on a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. 4.5 million to combat disinformation in Kazakhstan. I could go on and on and I'm happy to provide this list every single one of you. Democrats are outraged that the American people want to be They want their taxpayers going to good uses not stuff like this. We've literally devolved into a meme war This is so interesting and leave it as Levitt, leave it what's there? Is it Levitt? Leave it I you leave it to Beaver. I have no idea. I'll tell you this. I love this woman She is like young and she doesn't use a binder No, she's got all in her noggin

23:52 She's got it in her knower. And she doesn't put up with any guff, she is the kind of...she's the perfect foil for Trump and I think she ad-libs stuff? She says stuff that i'm sure if it was a male press guy that Trump would chew him out. Trump's I think a little more liberal with women he treats them slightly differently And he lets her do her thing. But she's good because these are all minor numbers in the grand scheme of things, but this is exactly the stuff that highly intelligent people... million for six change operations in Guatemala. You know, it's like that is the smallest of the grievances here. Yeah well we get a few more here because Jesse brings a few into the picture that many have liked the art stuff I haven't heard and here we go its clip two but we can add some more to the list 43 million dollars on a gas station in Afghanistan that had no customers still less though than what Biden paid for a charging station here

24:53 One and a half million to promote gays, lesbians and trans in Jamaica. Four million for trans Serbians five and a half mil for gay rights in Uganda Over 6 million for men who have sex with men in South Africa. That's just how it was described 17 million to promote inclusion in Vietnam It's just probably another way of saying it went to trans We carpet bond them and then we paid them the cross-dress 25 million to promote green transportation In Georgia, not the state, but country And its not like we took money and bought electric cars We just paid a shady agency to put up a billboard that says

25:34 buy electric cars. A million for Arab and Jewish photographers Are you Jewish? Are you Arab? Do you have cameras? Here's a check $8,000,000 to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary gendered language Translation we spent 8 million so that a reporter in Sri Lanka doesn't write he or she Well at least nobody died right? Wrong 122 million of the USAID money was given to terrorists The Taliban is taxpayer funded. So was the Wuhan lab, so we're on a roll. The people spending the money can't even tell you why they're spending the money! USAID awarded $2 million to strengthen trans-led organizations to deliver gender affirming healthcare in Guatemala

26:18 So to each of you this morning, does this advance the interests of American citizens paying for trannies in Guatemala to attune with $2 million? Yes or no. Governor? I have no position. Of course you don't! This is clearly all these NGOs and nonprofits and they just took money it's just they just took money This has always been the pipeline that we've always identified as the problem is non-profits and non governmental organizations all around the world who are taking this money and doing nefarious... Our money, our taxpayer money. Yes. And also our taxpayer's debt

26:56 Yes, yes. Our printed money and just taking it for themselves if you dig deep this is where you see cousins and aunts and uncles I've got just a 46 second from President Trump just to interject in between these clips if you don't mind? Look at all the fraud that he's found on this USAID It's a disaster what the people, radical left lunatics. They have things that nobody would have even believed that the whole thing with 100 million spent on you know what? With money going to all sorts of groups that shouldn't deserve to get any money with the money I'd like to see what the kickbacks are how much money has been kicked back who would spend that kind of money To some of the things that you read about and i read about and i see every night in the news And every morning when i read the papers

27:46 Who would spend money for that? I would say this, the people that got all that money are they kicking it back to the people that gave it from government. No, that's to me very very corrupt. Yeah! I think that put some people on notice. So yeah so this is kind of an exciting time but half... It's hilarious. It's a season of reveal John come on you're gonna have to admit it sooner or later You're never going to admit it. Alright, we'll go to USAID bit 3? Is that where... Yeah, bit three. Despite the blatant waste and corruption there's a sinister side all of the gay lesbian and trans money were funneling into other countries It subversive! It undermines their traditional culture, their religions in their governing authority

28:37 It divides these countries, it distracts them and makes it easier for our government to exploit them. David Axelrod told Democrats who are defending this stuff you're walking into a trap. Rahm Emanuel says you don't have to fight every fight wasteful spending isn't the hill I'm gonna die on But trans operas in Colombia are the hill Democrats have chosen to die on. Are they getting kickbacks? We're about to find out. Democrats have been sending your tax dollars to the World Economic Forum so they can tell us to eat bugs. The George Soros prosecutor fund got $26 million of your money, to what open jails

29:17 USAID brags about overthrowing governments. They bragged about supporting military coups and color revolutions in the Middle East, Asia and Ukraine. And we just found out the Biden administration was paying the press during the last four years Politico received $26 million from the federal government. Man's eight million dollars just last year. The Biden administration was paying a DC insider publication that happened to never report anything bad about the Biden administration. The whole thing is a racket, this was a bailout. Biden's government didn't need this it's a payoff product because when they started paying Politico they tanked the laptop they covered up Biden's nap times

30:06 The USAID chief, Samantha Power. Politico wrote a puff piece about her called her a celebrity Have you ever heard of celebrity Samantha Power? I'm a little disappointed at ourselves. We have so often discussed Politico and saying, and I kept saying who owns them? And then you'd always come back no no they're their own thing they stand by themselves. Now we could have figured this one out because of course some basically a blog with too many people working there couldn't it could never be self sustainable. We should have sniffed that one

30:45 We should have and I think Axiom falls into that category of too many... Axios. Axios, another operation is different. Yeah. Axios falls into that same category with too many people who's really behind it I mean other operations like the Atlantic for example you know what that money Lorraine jobs. Yeah a jobs Powell Jobs, whatever she was to call herself So you got money there so you can say so even though that could be a slush fund too we would at least it has A cover there's no cover for these other operations. There's no cover billionaire that looks, you know there's no Reed Hastings in front of the whole thing. Right So yes yeah we probably... I'm reading that a lot of money went into got slushed somehow into Hollywood

31:37 Hollywood productions now that's kind of being countered by saying oh, you know They paid people millions of dollars to go visit Zelensky. Maybe I don't know well actually there I think yes stiller says no he says No IP well Ben Stiller probably paid for it himself He's probably dumb well. I got a clip on this but Let's do it last Jesse dad out let's play the last one then again have a clip about Ben Stiller okay good So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets including Politico who i know has a seat in this room. And I can confirm that more than 8 million taxpayer dollars have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico and American taxpayers dime will no longer be happening The Doge team is working on canceling those payments now

32:27 How critical is government funding to Politico's bottom line? Not sure, but on the day of the freeze they couldn't make payroll for a couple hours. It's not just Politico. The New York Times got millions BBC got money PolitiFact was funded by the Biden administration Biden was censoring you and funding independent fact-checkers to call you a liar. The left somehow looks like one big astroturfed money laundering shell game Well, okay that's a little disingenuous Jesse Watters USAID has been there through many different political powers running the country so it's not just the Biden administration it's not just

33:10 You know, the left and the Dems. It's it's the fundamental problem in government and this governments everywhere except for some reason This president is pulling it apart He got nothing to lose. This is very interesting. Where's the where's the So this is a clip from, and one more clip after this. This is the USAID, this is from E! Entertainment News, the E you know? They still around? Yeah they're still around and here's their report. USAID sponsored American celebrity visits to Ukraine after Russia's full-scale invasion began. Angelina Jolie 20 million dollars Sean Penn

33:53 $5 million Jean-Claude Van Damme a million and a half dollars Orlando Bloom eight million dollars Ben Stiller, $4 million. This was done to increase Zelensky's popularity among foreign audiences particularly in the United States The involvement of celebrities made it easier to coordinate funding programs for Ukraine during the conflict I'd like to see some paperwork on that Angelina Jolie 20 million dollars really? I'd like to see the paperwork on that Is there a big check, like one of those publisher clearing house checks? Yeah. Big giant checks! Here you go Angie! There's an accusation that they're going to have to deal with now the last clip I have is it just shows that this is not... USAID is the target right now but then I ran into this crazy clip from Alex Jones Oh yeah alright. On Reuters and this is some Pentagon

34:54 Some stuff that was brought up from some Pentagon research, and I think the Pentagon's gonna add all these If unless something stops and they managed to stop Musk who's gone on a rampage with a bunch of kids. He's hired a bunch of young this this this was so I saw the executive editor of wired doing interviews everywhere because it was the outstanding reporting from Wired. Outstanding reporting! They did really good work, Wired magazine did outstanding reporting and they're the ones like well these are 19 to 26 year old kids what are they doing? Who else who do you think is programming your life who do you think... Well besides Anonymous Indians. And I also am quite sure that this is a team that Musk

35:42 the spokeshole for. I don't think he's in there rousting around because... No, i agree! If he was, he'd have the kitchen sink and do an ex-post then we'd see that. I've said it a million times, I'll say again A MILLION?! A BILLION?!! I said at least twice Yes that's more like it Which is slightly different than a million I suppose if you're gonna be picky Well I learned it from the best I would say that Musk knows how to pick people. He has a knack for getting people, you know there's the funny thing about this little story about Microsoft when Gates was building the company out and he was kind of at the time now he's off the rails but back in the day he would always, this is known Microsoft story when he was staffing in Redmond

36:38 You'd come in from some other company and he said, he would always insist that if you're gonna come to work for Microsoft, whatever money you were making over at Oracle or whatever company you were working for before, you had to take a cut in pay. because it was important that you took a cut and paid to show that you really wanted to work for Microsoft. That's why I want to be there, oh well interesting. Interesting yeah and that was always uh it was one of those...that story everybody knows that story so here we go with Alex Jones and this is like course Alex Jones dramatizes great but here we go. Reuters for active social engineering defense ASED and large-scale social deception LSD

37:25 That's how in the grants at usspending.gov, Department of Defense Thompson Reuters Special Services that's M I 6 to look it up active social engineering defense large scale social deception Zoom in on that. Look at that, look at that just look of course they want to keep it secret but the Pentagon's paying Reuters too what's the exact term? Might as read this for next four hours over and over again active social engineering defense ASED and large-scale social deception LSD boy that sounds like what good people do yeah and there is on the DARPA website

38:12 Or they tell you about active social engineering defense, but see they didn't tell you what they do lie to ya. And it's the Pentagon going we want to help deceive the public Reuters help lie and run our deception engineering operation I mean God use the bad guys don't call themselves the bad guys that's like little kids shows the Decepticons. The Pentagon's like, we're the Decepticons! Lie to the American people! Look I'm wearing a red cape and horn!" Well this is... We've talked about this about DARPA working on social networks and understanding how to engineer outcomes through the law of large numbers and how large networks operate in general

38:58 And then the, was it NSA or CIA? I think it was military who recruited to be the ghost in the machine. Remember that creepy ad? Be the ghost in the machine. It's NSA, right? Yeah, be the ghost in the machine and if you said something really said something a million times is that When the internet came into play, it made everything much easier for government to psyop us and to control our thinking. And I don't care if it's run by Elon Musk or not X is a perfect place for that but the one that's really good is Blue Cry. I mean whoa! What's going on there? It's amazing. You know, I have relented

39:42 from looking at the Blue Cry feeds during this last week or so but I'm gonna have to go. It's got to be distressing because these people are insane over there! And I log in, now I haven't looked at Blue Cry in weeks...I login and see that I have 20 messages and it's people going, yeah people listen to our show That's what they sound like I logged right out like I don't want to read this. I have no man Scott Galloway is he posts 15 times an hour This is no good Anyway on USA ID, but before we continue with any more discussion. I do want to say this these clips are

40:30 and including the Jones clip, this is an amazing indictment of mainstream media as being completely and totally corrupt. And I would say useless to the general public unless you just want to be led around by the nose! By somebody that's leaning around the nose for some nefarious reason, I'd say. Just in general this is not good Here's a short clip of Elon talking on Spaces with his impression. So he's doing his job, he is doing his job perfectly He is getting out there and he is doing the talking where it needs to be talking I don't think that he was doing this from inside the USAID building or sleeping in bed next to the Oval Office Or whatever is out there But he kind of summed up with something that sounded very Trumpy As we dug into USAID It became apparent what we have here Is not an apple with a worm in it

41:29 But we have actually just a ball of worms. And so at the point which you don't really like if you've got an apple, it's got a worm in it maybe can take the worm out but if you've got actually just a ball of worms, it is hopeless and USID is a ball of worms there is no Apple that's this you've just gotta basically get rid of the whole thing that is why it's gotta go You know, it's beyond repair. So okay now here's two serious clips that because you know we can stomp on people all day long Marco Rubio our Secretary of State

42:13 I'm liking more and more. I have to say him too. I like anymore really he you know it's like one of those things where he found himself It seems yes, well because I good cuz everybody everybody on the both sides of the aisle always assumed that and because of Marcos a little Marco when he was little Marko and he did they had this small hands joke And it was going after Trump is running against them They all assumed that he was pretty much like them, that he was an old Republican. Yeah Old-fashioned Republican He's not turning out to be that way No! He is turning out to be a radical Republican Trumpist type Republican and he handles it so beautifully It's a phenomenon Yes And of course

43:07 He's still not to be trusted, can't trust anybody. I agree he did an interview with Fox and they asked him because now he is the acting director of USAID and he had a very clear concise overview what's going on and how it is corrupt and rotten, and here it is. So you're now the head of USAID The head of DOJ Elon Musk called USAID a criminal organization And added that it was time for it to die Do you agree with that? Let me walk you through the history of this agency He knows the history I like this! I've dealt with it for 14 years in the United States Senate

43:47 It was created as a way of doing humanitarian assistance in the world, separate from the State Department at the time. But it said you have to take policy direction from the Secretary of State, the National Security Council, the White House and all elements of government They have basically evolved into an agency that believes, but they're not even a US government agency. That they are out there global charity that they take the taxpayer money and they spend it as a global charity irrespective of whether it is in the national interest or not. By the way one of the few people these days who uses the word correctly instead of saying irregardless he says irrespective He gets a point for that irrespective of whether it is in the national interest or not in the national interest. One of the most common complaints you will get if you go to embassies around the world from State Department officials and ambassadors and the like, USAID is not only not cooperative they undermine the work that we're doing in that country They are supporting programs that upset the host government for whom were trying to work with on a broader scale

44:43 So they're completely unresponsive. They just don't consider that they work for the US, they just think they're a global entity and that their master is the globe and not the United States. And that's not what the statute says, and that's not sustainable. President put a pause on all foreign aid. We found a lot of cooperation in the State Department, and we have issued dozens and dozens of waivers as we go through all the foreign aid programs in the Department of State. The ones that make sense, we issue a waiver, they go back on, we've already done it for dozens of programs. So, okay. So that makes total sense you know oh there's someone starving okay we'll help those people out but then he gets a little tricky because we know the State Department is really the huge monster

45:25 And here's all the State Department is great. They're great remember Marco Rubio does has been on the Intelligence Committee for a long time So I think he's protecting his turf here So we're going through it at the State Department, the state department portion of foreign aid We find cooperation state department people have been great and were issuing waivers and we're getting input and is working We go to USAID which is a big chunk of foreign aid 40 billion dollars or so They're completely uncooperative. They won't tell you what the programs are, they refuse to answer questions, they try to push through payments even after the executive order they were still trying to push money through this system Can it be reformed or does it need to die? Well that was always the goal was to reform it but now we have rank insubordination Now we have basically an active effort where their basic attitude is We don't work for anyone! We work for ourselves No agency of government can tell us what to do

46:18 So we should continue to do that makes sense and we'll have to decide is that better through the State Department or is that better through something you know a reformed USAID. That's the process were working through there are things that are happening at USAID that we should not be involved in funding, that and other...or that we have a lot of questions about but they're completely uncooperative so we had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this thing under control

46:56 So we'll see. State Department seems pretty safe and there's a lot of nonsense going on there, heavily intertwined with the Central Intelligence Agency when it comes to media corruption though Michael Schellenberger pops up I'm not really a super fan of Michael Schellenberger but he dug in and found some USAID financing that really helped kickstart The initial Trump impeachment. In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had on a phone call directed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with his personal attorney at the time Rudy Giuliani to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a CIA analyst who was first brought into the White House by the Obama administration

48:01 reporting by DropSite News last year revealed that the CIA analyst had relied on reporting by a supposedly independent investigative news organization called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. That's so good! Or, the OCCRP which appears to have effectively operated as an arm of the United States Agency for International Development USAID which President Trump has just shut down The CIA whistleblower complaint cited a long report by OCCRP four times. The OCCRP report alleged that two Soviet-born Florida businessmen were key hidden actors behind the plan by Trump to investigate the Bidens. Do you remember those two guys? Those two like Boris and Natasha standing next to Trump at some function, they took a picture with him and then all of sudden oh they were key

48:55 Those two businessmen connected Giuliani to two former Ukrainian prosecutors, according to OCCRP. The OCCRP story was crucial to the House Democrats impeachment claim which is that Trump dispatched Giuliani as part of a coordinated effort to pressure a foreign country to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, which is why the whistleblower cited it four separate times. Yeah he goes on and on and on about this but yeah yes that's a good clip I saw him do this that was uh yeah i'm glad you got that He's kind of dry He doesn't have much, he's done enough pizzazz. So USAID spent through political non-governmental organizations over 40 million dollars on the Georgia elections, Georgia the country which of course you know was contentious

49:45 This is really, to me this is quite entertaining. I mean it's... It's very entertaining! It's more than I expected. A lot more than I expected Yes well that's for sure. Me too and although you seem to have been expecting from the season of reveal That's okay I won't criticize you No no that's just a word I received and here it is The prophecy is true. Season of Reveal You can't deny it. You're going try but you can't So this is going to continue at this breakneck pace. Rapid rate, yes rapid. They don't know what to do about it one thing after another the his

50:27 I think that's really, this is a...I don't know what how to call it but his approach to women sports with that executive order i thought was a big deal. I have the clip here hold on a second. I have a clip too yeah this is President Trump delivering on a campaign promise with an executive order that may or may not be legal we will not allow men to beat up injure and cheat our women and our girls from now on women sports will Only for women. While several high-profile cases fill the cable news airwaves, including swimmer Riley Gaines who lost a college competition to a transgender person. The reality is it rarely happens in December the NCAA president indicated the policy allowing transgender women to compete might change if federal law becomes more clear But in the same hearing he revealed that of the five hundred and ten thousand college athletes He was aware of only

51:28 who are transgender. Ashley O'Connor transitioned while a student at Downers Grove South High School, she's now in college but knows firsthand the impact of being allowed on the girls badminton team during difficult times. Being able to express myself openly and honestly helps so so much I haven't self-harmed for i think about over four years now. I mean this is a person who needs different kind of help I haven't because i can express myself through badminton. Uh, but I haven't self-harmed you need this person needs a different kind of help um Because where'd you get that report? This report is slanted this oh, of course it's slanted This report is from uh, it's probably from france 24 Let me see, uh trans maoism

52:21 Oh, the Chicago WGN. Hello! It's obvious where it's from. All right but you get the idea what they're saying is... Yeah well play this clip this is the executive order about men in locker rooms that this is an NTD and This is slant, NTD is slanted. But it's slant but NTD is always anti-Chinese slanted and I think their regular reporting is pretty neutral and here's the way they handled it One of President Trump's latest executive orders will provide quote equal opportunity for women and girls And keep quote men out of women sports Last year a male cyclist posing as a woman

53:02 competed in the 800 mile Arizona trail race, a very big deal in cycling and obliterated the woman's course record by nearly five and half hours. A White House document says the executive order upholds the promise of Title IX and ends the dangers and unfair participation of men in women sports We're putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice that if you let me take over women sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding. While signing Trump was joined by over 20 women and their daughters from parental rights advocacy group Moms4Liberty

53:44 Women's sports advocates Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlon were there also. Title IX, passed in 1972 prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or other education program that receives federal funding And the U.S officially has a new attorney general Pam Bondi was sworn in on Capitol Hill with Trump in attendance The Senate confirmed Bondi on Tuesday, 54 to 46 with Democrat Senator John Fetterman joining Republicans in the vote. Bondi says she will make the country proud and I will restore integrity to the Justice Department and I will fight violent crime throughout this country and throughout this world and make America safe again. So what considering the numbers it is just as you've pointed out it's just so

54:35 crazy that the Democrat Party wanted to die on that hill as you said and They're still onto it. And I can't wait for my hate listen tomorrow To find out what cuz Kara Schwisher leading lesbian advocate, continuously has held to the opinion that the war on trans was it because the Republicans hate gay people. Well nothing could be further from the truth because they're actually being protected in this case This is from Denver. While the preview for the US Department of State's website still shows resources for LGBTQI plus prospective adoptive parents, the moment you click in you'll see a new acronym by the way that they're showing the Google search results so it's like a cast result

55:29 That has the link LGBTQI and then when you click in, well yeah they changed it but Google hasn't updated. Prospective adoptive parents... The moment you click in you'll see a new acronym LGB. The same is found for LGB travelers To remove the T from transgender identity I don't have to tell you what this person was like the sends a really big signal. Jax Gonzalez is the political director at One Colorado, the state's largest LGBTQIA advocacy group I'm a little bit of a history nerd The first acronym that was used was GLB so gay lesbian and bisexual And you can see that used in the 70s and 80s to identify the gay rights movement

56:22 representing lesbians then became the first letter to represent their contributions during the HIV and AIDS epidemic in the late 80s. This I didn't know by the way from this self-proclaimed history nerd, I didn't know that the L moved to the front after because of the lesbian's helping in the AIDS epidemic... Yeah this is a point of contention When I was at, when Cranky Geeks was being produced by Ziff Davis and I was at the office we had one of our producers who was a very flamboyant gay guy. And he's one of those guys who had a lot of opinions about things and I've talked to him and other gay males about this and they for the life of them cannot

57:12 rationalize or understand why and they're a little irked about it that the G was replaced by the L. Well here's the official story from The History Nerd. Letter to represent their contributions during HIV and AIDS epidemic in the late 80s. Nurses would refuse to treat men who were dying of HIV and AIDS And so lesbians stepped in, lesbian nurses, lesbian volunteers. Then in the 90s the T representing transgender people was added Man I do not remember that being the 90's! I remember that being in the mid 2000s Do you remember the T being added in the 90s?

57:51 I'm gonna have to do some work on this. There was the death of Brandon Tina, that was a young trans man and after that we had a surge of visibility of transness. Advocates say they're confident that while a letter has been erased transgender people won't be. We're no longer being recognized by the federal government. True is that we don't need to be in order To be the people. We are there you go Good everyone's happy now this fine so LGB is protected Protected and the T which was me and the Q I mean man The Q thing that's what threw everybody for a loop the Q thing just became this tack-on excuse, which was a problem

58:39 I have a couple of clips that kind of relate to this, and one of them...I'll hold off on this. This is an Irish journalist who went on a tear about trans conundrum and what's really the problem with it which is the investment of the parents that have transitioned their children. Yes And how it's created this woman is Helen Joy, we might as well play it. Tell Helen Joyce! Helen Joyce is very and she said she's an I wouldn't say she's anti-trans because I don't think she is anti anything but she's an observer and she Is seen as she's like Rowland

59:26 the Harry Potter writer. Yes, as a you know I hater of trans when it's not the case and she has this interesting observation to make about the investment that people have made into this movement into the transmouse movement that is kind of depressing. A lot of people have done the worst thing that you could do, which is to harm their children irrevocably because of it. Those people will have to believe that they did the right thing for the rest of their lives for their own sanity and for their own self-respect so they'll still be fighting

1:00:23 and each one of those people destroys entire organisations and entire friendship groups, and now you can't talk truth in front of that person. And you know you can't because what you're saying is – you as a parent have done truly like human rights abuse, the most awful thing to your child that cannot be fixed. There are specific individuals who are really actively against women's rights here and it's not known why they are but I happen to know through the back channels that it's because they've transed their child And so those people will do anything for the entire rest of their lives to destroy me and people like me, because people like me are a standing reproach to them. I don't want it to be! I'm not talking directly to them –I don't spend my time bitching about them– but the fact is that just simply by saying we will never accept natal males in women's spaces... Well it's their son that we're talking about and they've told their son he can get himself sterilized and destroy his sexual function and women will accept him as a woman.

1:01:22 There's no way back for them and their child. They've sold their child a bill of goods that they can't deliver on, and I'm the one who has to be bullied to try to force me to deliver on it so those people are going to be the people who will keep this bloody movement going i'm sorry to say because they have everything to lose yeah we've played uh Helen Joyce before see not gonna play them now but Male erotic fixation leads to children must be trans and then Trans Maoist parents fighting to the death. She's been very consistent in this Can we in the United States at least can we put this squarely on the shoulders of the Democrat Party now is the question That they are the ones who... It's an interesting coincidence What do you mean? To me! What do you mean, coincidence

1:02:15 Well, the democra... that most trans advocates and trans Maoists and people who trans their kids and Hollywood people in particular Jamie Lee Curtis Megan Foxx and all these others. Yeah That have boys that made them into girls or vice versa depending and they're all Democrats. I suppose there's a Republican or two out there that has a trans kid who may be really, I mean there are people that do have genuine gender dysphoria but it is incredibly rare. It's not this is highly... This isn't a movement this is something else this what she would call as social

1:03:00 Contagion is what she uses. Contagion is the right word, I mean it's totally contagion! Well it's like June bugs... It's hysteria that has created this and also a few scientists and some pediatricians including the American Pediatrics Board in these horrible pediatrician which I said before I think is the worst of all the doctors you know, their vaccine schedules and they kick people out of there. If you don't want the vaccine, you can't even go to them kind of problem we've talked about on the show so it's just Democrats I mean there are I suppose maybe there's probably gotta be a Republican in there somewhere but is largely I'd say 90% plus Democrats or why is it Democrats? Well, Democrats and the media

1:03:54 The media, which we now know is... Well the media's 90% Democrats too. This is just Democrat. Exactly So we're talking about DEMOCRATS Why? Yeah well it's because well trans-Maoism It's a Marxist movement and.. It's Marxism! There's Marxism behind that That's gotta be it And it became a form of religion Which is what the Marxists always try to do Right cause they don't like... Cause they're atheists Traditional religions Yes I want to talk just briefly about the tariffs that were on and then were off. And I think that this on and off, wait for a month to me was a test

1:04:33 that President Trump ran to see how the dollar would respond, which was quite interesting. I mean the dollar just skyrocketed in value and then he took them off and they went right back down. One of our producers sent me a paper written on November 24th of 2024 by Trump's Chairman of Economic Advisers Stephen Mirren And he talks about the Triffin Dilemma, which I'd never or sometimes known as the Triffin Paradox. Have you ever heard of this before? No The Triffin Paradox written identified by Belgian economist or a Belgian-American economist Robert Triffin in the 60s

1:05:14 His basic thesis was that the problem with a country being, having the reserve currency that is over time your own your currency the US dollar becomes overvalued so that you almost naturally have to shift all of your production overseas because it just becomes much cheaper everywhere. And the paper is 47 pages and I was going through it, and I'm trying to mark stuff up. My brain is just certainly hurting but what he's saying is that if you put a tariff of 10% on goods

1:05:56 It does hurt local, it does have a slight inflationary effect on goods that you import. But he says it's more like 50 basis points 1% tops but then when you get to 20%, There's so much pain in the market and if simultaneously you can bring down interest rates, there is so much pain in these overseas markets they have to shift their... You know they have to go through a separate country. China is already doing that of course. Oh well it's coming from Vietnam! It's not coming from China, its coming from somewhere else. Mexico? Mexico exactly

1:06:33 that there is a way to prevent the country from going into the Triffin paradox death spiral. And all the numbers that he has in this paper, like the 60% we've heard President Trump talk about they're all in there and so it seems like President Trump is trying to figure out what he can do because he needs a reset of the global financial system, not the way the World Economic Forum wants to do it. And this guy I think is pretty funny says look for a new Bretton Woods Accord and he says since all these accords have always been named after the resort where they came up with it and signed it He says we should be on lookout for a Mar-a-Lago accord where somehow the currencies will be reset

1:07:27 And I know we have really smart people out in Gitmo Nation, so any simplification of this process would be appreciated. And at the same time the stablecoin gambit seems to be playing up with no—with the most interesting people at the table especially this... what's-the-guy's name from Cantor Fitzgerald Hold on a second, I have his name here somewhere. Lutnik Oh yeah, Lutnick. And so... Musk's a big fan of this guy. Oh yeah! Well there is no doubt and we have to talk about that but here are two clips about the president signing the executive order for the Sovereign Wealth Fund This is an executive order discharges your Secretary of Treasury Scott Besant and your Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick To begin a process that will hopefully result in the creation of an American sovereign wealth fund

1:08:30 It's a very exciting event. We're going to have a sovereign wealth fund, which we've never had. We have a lot of things that create wealth and you've seen that over the last two weeks I think we've created more wealth Other people have created D wealth the people my predecessors. We've creating a lot of well Scott maybe you'd like to say something about it, and I'd ask also Howard to say something about it so first we get Scott Bessett And he's going to say oh yeah, we're gonna put all kinds of assets into this sovereign wealth fund which to me means Perhaps tokenizing our public lands. I mean there's all kinds of things that have been discussed in this regard Yes, sir. This is very exciting We're gonna stand this thing up within the next 12 months we are going to

1:09:21 monetize the asset side of the US balance sheet for the American people. Now how do you take that? Monetizing the asset side of the balance sheet for the American people, how do you take that? Just what you said! Yeah it's like we got oil deep down... What are our American assets whether is the industrial base is considered an American asset but the federal government owns like half the land in this country which A lot of people, including Milton Friedman think it was a bad idea. We shouldn't own any land but we own it and the land is valuable especially in some places like certain states California for example that's an asset big one all right

1:10:03 put the assets to work and I think... That's tokenization. I guarantee you they're going to make it into some kind of crypto It's gonna be very exciting we're gonna study best practices that are done around the world, there'll be a combination of liquid assets, assets that we have in this country as we work to bring them out for the American people The extraordinary size and scale of the US government and the business it does with companies should create value for American citizens. If we are going to buy 2 billion COVID vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants and some equity in these companies that grow for the help of the American people side bringing all these things together I think will create Scott and I will create an amazing sovereign wealth fund for you sir. So that's Ludnick and he could not have used a worse example you dumb dumbo like

1:11:03 Like, oh yeah we buy two million COVID vaccines. Two billion? Did he say two billion? He's stupid! What a stupid thing to say now Lutnick... Yeah that was dumb I think that got a lot of attention As it should i think that lutnic owns about five percent of Tether owns I think about 150 billion dollars worth of US debt. I believe that part of the gambit here is to spread our debt amongst the global poor by issuing... Listen, by issuing stablecoins based upon debt that we keep in America

1:11:47 And, you know, because Tether they make like $4 billion a year just by holding 100 billion dollars worth of paper and it's that there's like 20 people at the company. Like oh you just hold the paper they get the interest and they issue these stable coins so we can continue to use... It'll probably be Tether use the stable coins as hey everybody can use our dollars now everybody its digital ever goes everywhere it devalues but okay There's something at play here, including... Having assets of companies in the sovereign wealth fund is very, very different type of economics for us. And then, of course President Trump tries to popularize that with this. Other countries have sovereign wealth funds and they're much smaller countries than they are in the United States We have tremendous potential in this country Tremendous You've seen what's happened just a short period of time

1:12:45 And as an example, TikTok we're gonna be doing something perhaps with TikTok. Perhaps not if you make the right deal we'll do it otherwise we won't. So we're going to own half of TikTok this is amazing! But I have the right to do that and we might put that in the sovereign wealth fund whatever we make or if we do a partnership with very wealthy people, a lot of options. But we could put that as an example in the fund and we have a lot of other things that we could put in the funds. And I think in a short period of time would have one of the biggest funds and some of them are pretty large, I must tell you some of like the Saudi Arabia Fund is on the large side but eventually will catch it

1:13:26 But we're gonna create a lot of wealth for the fund. And I think it's about time that this country had a sovereign wealth fund and these two gentlemen and some others are going to work with them very closely, and they'll be heading it up Great job to highly respected people that have done unbelievably well in the world in the real world So that's a big deal, huh? Value and be of great strategic importance yes all right and a lot of Publications are saying you know this this could stave off a debt crisis because we keep the debt in the United States Of course the entire Bitcoin community

1:14:08 is saying, ah this is where our strategic Bitcoin reserve goes. I mean we'll see but man you know Trump people forget that he's a macro guy and I just hope to God that he that he's getting some good advice because this sounds sketchy at best with the stablecoin thing. I don't know maybe it's brilliant But ultimately, you keep issuing paper so everybody has the dollar except they get it in a digital form of a stable coin of a tether. It still devalues our money! They have to do something and if anybody wants to listen I mean... I don't like plugging the guy... Mark Levin! Hello America! So he

1:15:00 He does a Sunday show on... On CNN? No, on Fox. Fox? No! He does a Fox show on Sundays and it's this I don't know how many people watch it but it's just basically he does two is one on Saturday and one on Sunday and it's basically a 1-hour lecture It's nothing more well actually take it back about a half hour lecture then you bring some people on to talk about the lecture How good was my lecture?! How good was I in this? What do you think You know, he's a... I have to say this. He's smart guys good... His books are good. He is the great one! By the way that I've noticed has kind of dissipated The Great One concept. But he is pretentious as hell because he starts his radio program on during the week every show like all during the week these two shows starts with the national anthem

1:15:57 I mean give me a break. Hey, well we start this show with the national anthem...I mean the national Gitmo Nation Anthem but we do start with the anthem We actually don't start this show with it No, we rile everybody up That's in the pre-show It's like the guy who comes out of the comedy special that comes to the GITMO What's the guy called, the audience guy that comes out there? Not the fluffer. That's a different kind of... Who is that guy called when he comes out? The audience... I forget what the guys called. Warm-up guy! He's slamming and got the script rolled up and he's like alright everybody let's practice your cheers yeah here we go whoo okay when the sign goes on... Jumps up and down gets everybody all worked up yes audience fluffer

1:16:40 So, let's... so anyway. So Levin I think was the last Sunday he does a lecture on... That's Darren O'Neill for us the pre-show guy that's what he does. Yeah pretty much He gave a lecture on The Real Debt and he claims that because of Social Security and Medicare which are separate funds that are supposed to be kind walled off even though they were sto- the money was stolen from them. That's why people say, oh the Social Security is gonna be out of business so and so you know any five years we're gonna be out of money

1:17:20 It's technically impossible based on the original plans for Social Security because when you pay your withholding or if you're working for a company, you have your taxes. He says withholding tax and then you see a little line that says SS, so security. You pay that separately. That's not tax! No, that's theft And it doesn't, and it turns out that they've been taking that and acting as if it was taxed. And they're stolen the money according to Levin were actually 150 plus trillion in debt because of this money that's been stolen from Social Security. Everybody gets a tether!

1:18:00 here. You get a trillion dollar coin. Yeah, tether! Basically the trillion dollar coin yeah so uh well this is they gotta do they... So the point is I'm trying to make I think I think the point I'm trying to make is that we have to do something drastic because we're broke Yeah, what I found interesting in that paper is he said the way you do it these tariffs is you tie it to national security which is exactly what President Trump did. He tied it to immigration and fentanyl so it seems like something here is playing out and I like the idea of the Mar-a-Lago Accords—I think that's a genius name—and it seems like oh yeah

1:18:46 So we can just kind of wait for something to happen. I agree, they have to do something! Something has to happen or... Yeah because we're broke and if we go broke that's not good for the world Everybody has a problem then everyone's holding our paper Our paper!! Um so that was that um you want to talk about Magaza? Magaza! Yeah magagaza, magaza That's-that's the new thing, magaza Everybody's talking about Magaza. Well that was you know to me just a pretty yeah, I maybe have one clip...I don't have a lot on it. I mean i do some thoughts and my thought was that during the because everyone is acting..i like the way everyone acts so cool because Trump put these guys in including Netanyahu

1:19:36 Oh yeah, no this is not a big shock. What Trump did with this comment about we're gonna just take over Gaza and then turn it into you know resort... It was exactly the same and I have a term for it now could have a term for what Trump's doing It's on here. It is called the Blurt. The Blurt! And this is basically what he did with, they're eating the dogs! We're gonna own it we're gonna own it So I have the Gaza Blurt and I think Trump just did it on-the-fly I don't care what anybody thinks because it's like eating the dogs yeah and now everybody's and Mike Johnson was one of them yeah and so was Rubio

1:20:21 Well, they walked it back. I have the walking it back clip. Let's play this. Here is the initial Gaza Blurt clip from NTD which I think Probably gets us off to a good start. much.

1:21:08 This is an out of the box idea. That's who President Trump is, that's why the American people elected him. We will last night during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister President Trump did not rule out sending troops as an option saying he might if it's necessary Given what you've said about Gaza to the US and troops to help secure The security vacuum As far as Gaza is concerned we'll do what Is necessary If It's necessary we'll do that And when asked about why President Trump would not rule out as an option the White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt told us today that she believes is part of Trump's negotiating tactics and that he will make a deal on that. Adding that it to keep the option open as leverage in negotiations, and meanwhile last night Trump also proposed a mass impermanent resettlement for Palestinians living in Gaza

1:21:58 I think you've really hit on something. The blurt is exactly what it is! and every blurt with this president is a negotiating point. I'm going to say something here, I'm sure he does this in business deals. Well you know, I'm gonna put you out of business! It's just out of the blue it just hits him on the spur-of-the moment because we're eating the dogs was as you could just see it was just like he's listening to this woman yak away and all of a sudden it just dawned on him

1:22:52 to throw this out. We're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats! They are eating the dogs!! Let me play this clip... This is labeled as top US officials walk back Trump's blurt. U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday walked back the Trump plan to permanently relocate Palestinians from Gaza after American allies rebuffed his suggestion So now Rubio is one of the Trump whisperers? This is the new role that you have to play Trump on Tuesday in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the US could take ownership of Gaza. And the only thing President Trump has done very generously, in my view is offer the United States

1:23:33 willingness to step in, clear the debris clean the place up from all the destruction that's on the ground. Clean it up of all these unexploded munitions and in the meantime people living there will not be able... The people who call at home will not be able to live there while you have crews coming in and removing debris while you have munitions being removed etc That is the offer he has made. Oh ok! See? Rubio goes into cleaning up Yeah I think Rubio did a good job And I like to compare it to Mike Johnson, who is also doing it. But this is Mike Johnson

1:24:09 And I describe this as Mike Johnson skating. You know, he's doing some sort of a soft shoe. He's dancing and it's like he doesn't know what to say because it's like oh what am I gonna do? I can't offend that you know cuz everyone is scared to death they're gonna say something that Trump gets pissed about so they're backing him. Well Rubio doesn't seem to be... Rubios got it figured out yeah. So does Caroline Leavitt I mean those two... Yes, yes. Because she said it right there what you know what the president obviously means this like okay yeah and the other guy that the first person i noticed that could do this well was J.D Vance. Yes initially during the the elections yeah he would... Yeah J.D Vance could

1:24:55 explain whatever Trump did you he could explain it and it was to the satisfaction of everybody including Trump here's but Johnson Johnson hasn't quite got a clue yet so he dances. House Speaker Mike Johnson reacted to President Trump's plan for the Gaza Strip here's what Johnson said at the house Republicans leadership stakeout earlier today there'll be more details forthcoming on that of course the announcement yesterday I think was greeted uh... with by surprise but many but um... here by i think people all around the world why because they are a lot of those dangerous and he's taking bold decisive action to try to ensure the peace in that region uh... it's uh... it's a bold move certainly far bolder than what's been done before but

1:25:39 I think we've got to stand unequivocally in an unwavering manner as the whip said with Israel our closest ally and friend in the Middle East. And, I think if we could bring control that situation and bring about a lasting peace there it would do well for everybody not just in the region but around the world is a volatile place and I think this strong decisive move is important step in that regard. Johnson's gotta get together this you know we don't want waffling here Listen, now they even call him the Trump whisperer in this report from Deutsche Welle as Rutte our boy from the Netherlands explains Greenland because what did green what did Trump say about dream Greenland? Yeah we're gonna buy it. We're gonna take it over we're gonna take it up with just going to enter it and take it no no no no no What I think he is really trying together at is that we have to be watchful of what's happening in the Arctic

1:26:34 And Russia is speedily working on getting its act together on the Arctic. Take for example the issue of icebreakers, we do not have enough icebreakers at this moment for example in the US or many... Who's this WE you're talking about? Other NATO allies so this whole issue of the Arctic it's geo-strategic importance but also of course the natural resources there. And all the other geopolitical impact it will have is what he's really putting on the table and putting high on the agenda. But military action sounds like a war between NATO... He hasn't said that he will invade Greenland, no he didn't say that! No we did not say that! What he really said is that the Arctic is of geopolitical and strategic importance

1:27:17 They don't call him the Trump whisperer for nothing. He didn't say he wasn't going to invade Greenland, but he didn't rule it out either And then let's go back to Rubio who did a beautiful Blurt cleanup on the Panama Canal You've just come from Panama and you said that your meetings in Panama went well after them President Trump said that we're going to take the canal back and or something very powerful is going to happen. What's going to happen? That was the blurt, Or something very powerful is gonna happen! Well I hope nothing's going to happen and it shouldn't because look the president's point is we gave the canal in a treaty to Panama We didn't give it to China You come back 20 years later and you go to the canal And on the entry points of both sides of the canal Is a Chinese linked company In fact when I was visiting there yesterday The ship behind me just over my shoulder Was a Hong Kong shipping vessel

1:28:08 And so their presence, not just in the canal but in Panama writ large is very disturbing. So ridding their presence could solve this whole problem? Well we didn't give the canal to China I mean it's a violation of the treaty what I told President Malino yesterday was that President Trump's made a preliminary determination that there is a violation of the treaty. You're in violation of the treaty because a sovereign other country, a third country has effective control over the canal area and this absent serious measures We're going to have to preserve our rights under the treaty. Now, you know obviously a lot of options in that regard and I think people speculate things but i don't think we'll ever get to that point and shouldn't get to that point. So it's perfect he is a Trump whisperer and the solutions are already taking place so we had a very frank conversation since then they've taken some steps they announced that they're gonna get out of the Bolton Road initiative

1:29:02 we'd like to see more and we hope to see in the days to come. You know, the government doesn't control the canal it's run by an independent agency, The Canal Zone so they have to go through some legal steps that they have to carry out. Yeah, we gotta go through some steps... Oh its working! It's working! It's working great. They got out of the belt and road thing, that was the kicker That was the main point And I'm totally convinced that you know people are bitching and moaning about for example Rubio bailed from the G20 upcoming G20 meeting which just recently announced Because they don't, he doesn't like the way South Africa's acting. Which of course that's easy enough but I still believe that we've decided on a North-South policy because we can do what we think we can do in Africa and we think what we can do here and there and we have our influence in Europe and England is what it is. We gotta do South America! We got to do South America as the Chinese are moving into South America this isn't our hemisphere we're not putting up with it

1:30:01 And and Rubio speaks Spanish. I got a, I got another blurt here's another blurt Which is a boomer blurt? This is a boomer blurt! I caught it let's see if you catch it We're telling Ukraine they have very valuable rare earth we want what we put up to go in terms of a guarantee. We want to guarantee we're handing them money hand over fist, we're giving them equipment. European is not keeping up with us they should equalize it and look we have an ocean in between but they don't It's more important for them than it is for us but their way below us in terms of money And they should be paying

1:30:41 at least equal, they should really be paid much more than us but let's say equal to us and there are billions and billions of dollars below. So we're looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they're going to secure what were giving them with their rare earth and other things." So I kept hearing rare Earth! And i'm like...I can't help but go back to 1973! Yeah baby! Look out baby! Cause here I come Is Trump thinking rare earth minerals, but he's confusing it with the band Rare Earth? I don't think so.

1:31:19 But when it comes to Europe, Europe is rolling the dice and they're doing some very... I think they're making very dangerous moves because all the 27 member states got together and said yeah we don't need America. We don't need Trump's military protection." The European Union is aiming to strengthen its defense capabilities requiring an estimated investment of around 500 billion euros over the next decade That's 50 billion a year. We do 800, we do 8-900 billion a year. ...has grown by 30% since 2021 but in the current geopolitical climate the bloc believes this is not enough on Monday the EU 27 met to explore new ideas with the aim of incorporating some into a future European Commission document when you ask what

1:32:11 What the leaders want in the white paper, certainly proposals for these three levels. How to create fiscal space? How to create common funds to common projects and finally how to mobilize private financing to strengthen our defense industry. Creating more fiscal space or in other words relaxing the economic rules that force countries not to take on too much debt is one of the main ideas on the table. The key to this lies with the European Commission, which could allow countries to spend more on defence.

1:33:01 So we will look as a commission deeper into using much more flexibilities. They are optional possible with the stability and growth pact for defense investment and defense expenditures at a time when relying on allies is crucial, the EU 27 gathered at a summit alongside their partners including UK Prime Minister Kirstjian Stammer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Rutte's there to say you guys are crazy! You're crazy! What are you doing? You can't do this. The next tariff is going to be on the EU and it's gonna be ugly because they don't make anything anymore. Some German cars, fine whatever... what else did they make? Machine tools for one. Okay. And they do a lot of precision stuff. Bosch. Various precision things. Bosch electronics. Yeah, Bosch. Siemens is big company

1:33:58 Anyway, the world is in turmoil. I'm actually...I'm kind of enjoying our last four years this is kind of fun It's going to be a good four years The way you said it there sounds like the world's gonna blow up in 4 years Well might as well When we're gone and might as well what are people gonna do? Oh man Alright where do you want to go because now we should probably do one maybe just a quick Let me see. Let's get this out of the way since it was part of the earlier presentation, but the battle at the Treasury Department because this is about to lockout. Oh yes, yes. Congress wanted to go in and they did Trump...the Trump? The Muskavites! The Muskavites another good one I like it. The Muskavites are the kids that must be got from the Treasury Department. They're children! Those kids are kids

1:34:52 They got into the Treasury Department computers. Oh no! Because they're computer guys, and they started finding all these you know this hasn't been this was because USAID overshadowed this but they found that that the Treasury Department is handing out checks to dead people and handing out checks to companies that folded in 98. These checks are going out yeah And so everyone's all bent out of shape about them getting in there. They made a big stink about it, and so Congress wanted to go in but the Secret Service kept them out. This is battery battle at Treasury Department lockout. The Secret Service rebuffed a group of congressional Democrats who tried to gain entry into the Treasury building yesterday. They said that they wanted to provide oversight after the Department of Government Efficiency gained access to the Treasury's federal payment system.

1:35:46 It is time for us to be heard. Oh, you want to use our money to go to Mars? No. We want to use our money right here in Washington DC! We have to fight this in the Congress we have to fight this in the streets Elon Musk is here to collect on his investment He's here to seize power for himself We are here to fight back. And everyone went home, yeah we're all angry but well as long as I get my check on the 18th of the month i'm okay then Elon could do it there is a legitimate concern here in general which I don't want to pass over and that is the tech-nocracy, the Tech Bros

1:36:43 coming in and replacing things with systems, you know there's I think this... No no i'm not going to argue with you at all. Yeah a legitimate concern that we don't want Palantir running too many things In the end there is privacy issue Well I mean I think it's kind of laughable Elon Musk has your social security number. Elon Musk is a lot more about you than yourself and you willingly give it to him, you willingly give it to Facebook, you willingly give it to Google. Anyone who's on Facebook has no reason to complain about anything here. Exactly Battle, and I'm not by the way. Battling at Treasury Department 2. The lawmakers argue that the Doge run by Elon Musk has what they call dangerous access to federal payment systems. Treasury officials insist the access is read only Democrats at the protest called the doge a power grab and pledged legal action. I love the read access

1:37:35 They can always, oh read access only. Only. And I think the interesting thing on that little clip there was that they're promising legal action these guys are moving so at breakneck speed from agency day from here to there to here to their the legal system is this shows you the flaw in the system it they can't have by the time they got an order they're already off into someplace else yeah Yeah. Trump has gone nuts when it comes to speed! I don't know what your AOC on Musk clip is, but i'm sure its laughable? Can we play it? Well this is the classic... yeah well there's two things about Musk that I'll play. We're going to play the prelude which

1:38:19 which is play the anti-Musk bill proposed. Meanwhile, on the side of the Democrats lawmakers want to prevent special government employees from accessing government information this is mostly to stop Elon Musk's Department of Government efficiency or DOGE from accessing any sensitive data on US individuals top democrats say musk is rapidly consolidating control over large swathes of the federal government with Trump's blessing They're arguing that Musk is sidelining career officials, gaining access to sensitive data and more. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer laid out the goals of the bill. Our bill aims to do a few simple things one did not deny access to special government employees employees that don't have to disclose their conflicts of interest or any other ethic agreements

1:39:11 2. To deny access to anyone with conflicts of interest or lack of appropriate clearance, and 3. Include personal tax information into existing privacy protections We call our legislation Stop the Steal Stop the steal! Whoa so smart So smart I love that The Secret Service is in fact technically responsible for the security of the US dollar i believe That's their responsibility. It's not just to protect people, but also to protect the money so it makes sense. All right now the AOC clip? So yeah I don't want to spike the ball on this but this is an example because you did it last so I get to do it now This is an example of taking a crappy clip She's doing all these TikTok clips and they're terribly mic'd When you run it through Adobe

1:40:05 This is what Adobe's good for, taking the echo out. So this is the best anyone will ever hear... This clip has been going around but this is the best quality you're gonna ever hear of it here we go. This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed um... Hold on a second now stop the clip! Stop the clip She says this dude is one of the dumbest billionaires I've ever met. Then she changes it and listen to it, start over because I don't think she's ever met him! No you're right So she changes gears and say well...I mean I've never seen You can see for yourself Listen carefully Interesting This dude Is probably One of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen Or witnessed

1:40:55 Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV. Anyways all of that is to say is that they don't do their homework clearly like they're putting 19 year olds in at the treasury this dude is not smart How old was she when she did her audition? I'm a little tired of the, these are 19 year olds. 19 year olds are given an M1 and you can go receive lead in desert places where you've sent them now? A 19-year old is no good. I'm a little sick of that. And the danger in not... In the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has. This guy is one of the most morally vacant but also

1:41:49 just least knowledgeable about these systems that we really know of. But the point is, is that what that means is that they're going to hit a button. A button! Inevitably, they are going to hit a button and things can go sideways. They're gonna hit a button? You know just back to your North-South strategy I think you're spot on and I think Venezuela is going to be in play. I got a note from the oil baron now apparently the guy advising our president on drill baby drill is Keith Kellogg who is now this special envoy to Ukraine and Russia

1:42:35 And he came out in oil circles and said, global producers should try slashing oil prices to $45 a barrel to pressure Russia into ending the war with Ukraine. There is no way you can't go to $45 a barrel! Saudi Arabia I don't think can even go to $45 a barrel and now other advisors... That's not true Well, I mean they of course and they anybody can go to $45 a barrel. I We talked about this in the show as a decade ago Saudi Arabia Supposedly can make money at 20 right but that was a decade ago. I mean The dollar has changed in value so I think it's tight when we put it that way I think it's tight But it's doable well according to the oil baron

1:43:32 Saudi Arabia would struggle to generate enough revenue to pay for social services, monthly payments of citizens and big infrastructure projects. It will need about $90 a barrel this year to balance its budget according to the oil baron in his sources Now the companies have said The West Texas Oil producer... What are they doing about the fact that it's floating around 65-70? Well they like it there But they like it. I thought they needed 90 to get by. Well, I'm just telling you, I'm not making this up. I'm not pulling it from USA Today. Okay well keep talking. Don't pay attention the man behind the curtain. Companies are no longer pursuing growth at all costs

1:44:18 is what the West Texas oil consortium is saying. Longer term, advisors are saying Trump's support of US oil and gas including scrapping environmental regulations will make the sector more appealing to investors but it's going to take a little bit of time and they need to find some other sources in the meantime And I'm thinking we need to get some of that from South America. That's not, that was not in the briefing I got but there is no drill baby drill at this point in time so he's going have to figure out some other way to lower energy costs Well it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility to do a deal with Maduro Yeah Who seems to have you know pretty good handle on his power base

1:45:12 Yeah, I think so. You know he'd do a deal yeah and they have a huge their reserves off the coast of Venezuela is one of the biggest in the world They got the goods The Doge concept and cleaning up And this will actually take us into thanking some people because i've gotten a lot of notes on why we're no longer hearing from UK and Australia's donors? Yes, we got a lot of notes. Yeah I got quite a few! On Australia the main one i get is... A.) We're afraid to donate to end your podcast because we'd go to jail. Also- I heard that from the UK list too. And 2Broke is another one They don't need to be on a list. No they don't want to be on lists and I like the one from the UK it's like

1:46:07 The people are leaving the UK. Anyone with the means and ability to get out is getting out, and a lot of them are going to Dubai People try to go to Portugal but you know Spain in Portugal they're starting to impose huge extra taxes on buying a home there if your if you have non-eu residents which the UK is But in Australia, here's Senator Malcolm Roberts who is like hey this is a good plan. And his team have made a huge start on putting the cleaners through US government waste some of which appears criminal and seditious in nature President Trump has withdrawn the USA from the World Health Organization The World Economic Forum and climate change tyranny and fraud moves one nation has advocated for 20 years

1:46:58 Executive orders have destroyed woke DEI and transgender ideology while reaffirming support for gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans. Again one nation policy President Trump is not a threat to democracy here or in the United States He is a threat to the Greens who are watching their pushback to their neo-Marxist identity politics Their toxic ideology is rightly being dispatched to the history's sewers President Trump did not start the pushback against worker ideology. Australia did, when everyday Australians rejected the voice proposal and as Irish did when they rejected this fragmentation of their families in a referendum there. President Donald Trump's actions are in accord with One Nation policies and of that we're very very proud. Trump puts America first

1:47:54 One nation proudly puts Australia first. Good luck, good luck! Hey what are we drinking? Well now that you mention it I'm drinking Cascade Ice Organic with a USDA stamp organic pomegranate mango caffeinated seltzer And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning, To you the man who put the C in the cascade horrible drink That is approved by the USDA Say hello my friend on the other end The one and only Mr. John C. DeMora! Yeah! In the morning to you Miss Adam Krells In the morning ship's sea-boostin' ground feedin' the air subs in the water to the dames and the knights out there In the morning to the trolls hangin' out in the troll room Let me count ya don't move here we go 2157 Is our peak

1:48:47 So that again, we're up. I'm not hugely up but we're up. It's the Trump bump! It's the burp bump. That's what it is. The Trump burp bump. Blurt sorry not burp blurt. I like the blurts. I think the blurt is a good concept. And I think it's going to be a theme. I think it has legs. Thank you very much, Trolls. We love seeing you here. I saw we had a new troll in there? He's like hey first time i can listen live! All right good. A new troll... Yeah we got new trolls it's good to have new trolls you know mixes up a little bit and immediately they go well you know what's really good because we can say stuff here in the troll room and sometimes Adam's Mensa on the show but you might get kicked out he might kick you

1:49:35 I kick one guy out once every three months just for kicks, honestly. No surprise it's that high you did one last week That was the one my one time this quarter The trolls are listening live through trollroom.io I just renewed that domain name or of course and I recommend this I was seeing Sam Tripoli was crying on Twitter Who's Sam Tripoli? Oh, the Tinfoil Hat podcast. We've played him before. Oh right! Sam Tripoli. And he was crying like I think i'm getting screwed you know my show hasn't showed up on Apple for like nine hours and I'm like Sam it's the wrong app man that's the problem now

1:50:19 If it doesn't show up on Spotify, they may have taken it down. Spotify reserves that right and does it daily. They take down episodes entire podcast. Yeah they are the worst and Apple you know I just don't think there's enough investment of the app. It's not a profit center for Apple so they have a small team their dedicated team but sometimes stuff goes wrong now if you take a modern podcast app, oh boy 90 seconds. So you need to tell your audience to use a modern podcast app like we tell ours at PodcastApps.com Now another thing you can consider is to run the value for... You know someone... Sir hold on a second let me grab it here I was sent a book to PO Box A book? You got a book Yes i got a book It was from sir Julian The Duke of Bastrop

1:51:11 Remember Sir Julian is the one who gave us Phoebe and this book is from 1990 and it's confessions of an intern interant fundraiser. The book is called Itinerant, there you go I what does it itinerant mean? You know a guy floats around. He's floating around, I go here and there... I'm an itinerant podcaster! Yeah do a podcast here or there, I don't care. I'm on the road roaming around getting a job, I get a job here, I get a job there doesn't matter. Gee sounds like people who work in The Patch. John hated HATED

1:52:00 Landman You hated it and you hated it so much. You wrote an entire Like treatment like that was essay I mean Brunetti even emailed it to me and said oh my god, look at this Yeah, I sent him a copy sent your copy and then I posted it on Twitter. I know I Responded with okay boomer. That's fine. All right, you didn't like it fine Anyway the book is titled value for value Confessions of an itinerant fundraiser. Yeah, now it's kind of a... I have to look through it but it seems like a lot is like how many pages here? 300 pages! Let me explain your value for value in one paragraph We give you this show completely free of advertising hassles

1:52:49 special freemium offers, there's no plus bundle. There's no subscriptions you just go I love the plus bundle by the way that was another books and someone didn't send us a book but sent us a picture of the NPR startup guide to podcasts yeah we have to get a copy of this I desperately need a copy because they're the guys that went broke doing podcast Here's what not to do. Oh, get a copy for Mimi and then just you know copy it and then put my name on it It'll be a success I guarantee it probably has everything in there that's right except for you need a Neumann microphone The Neumann mic will break ya! Yeah, it will time and time again

1:53:35 So instead of all that, we just ask you to return value to us in one or three ways. Time talent or treasure. We get a lot of time and talent A lot of people providing us with boots on the ground With clips with ideas with feedback and everybody is a specialist in one area And it may be that you drive a truck in a certain region and have something there. Maybe you work in a certain factory, we have doctors dentists We have lots of military law enforcement pilots every I'm always amazed how many people working government Who are clearly all pretty, pretty disgruntled. We have a broad range of people that have caught on to this show Yes and we love you for that Now we also need to pay our bills so we love when people send us value But before we do that let's thank some of the people who sent us Some time and talent in the form of artwork now

1:54:39 We pick a piece of art from noagendaartgenerator.com, another fine example of value for value being returned to us Thank you Sir Paul Couture And we have many pieces to choose from certainly in this peak AI moment that were living in And we use that for the cover art, but a lot of these pieces are used in the modern podcast apps with chapter images. I think people enjoy being highlighted there as well. But there can only be one that is chosen for the cover art. In this case it was Capitalist Agenda and i'm pretty sure this was not an AI piece. This looks like Capitalist Agenda...this is one of his classic pieces

1:55:20 That was for episode 1735. We titled it Old Bag and this was like a nuclear launch button with two keys, with little dog tags, Kareem Dvorak's we got our names in he even snuck in an ITM on those you know the red yellow green button at the top and the big red button for launch was tariff podcasts 33%. And we liked it. There were other contenders, but this was the one that we liked the most and I'm pretty sure... It was one other one that we thought was good. Well you did like the blue acorns farm or what's in your mouth. I said is we can't post it but I certainly liked it!

1:56:06 Now the one that became the one I liked at first and you'd like to we both kind of like but you spotted the fact that it was had many hallucinations AI Hallucinations was the let's play Lego The AI piece done by Darren O'Neill and from a distance. It's like oh, that's a cool Lego podcast studio But the minute you look at it this thing was wrong in so many ways. I mean none of this Lego Would fit together all the Lego bumps were distorted. There's a Pop filter floating in midair for some reason if that's what got because I said this is great Yeah, this is the best because I'd like some of these pieces He comes up with and you said then you pointed out to pop filter floating an air just by itself And I looked at that

1:56:52 Disqualified the piece and it was like, and then I made the point that you have more OCD than I do. I don't really have that because if you haven't noticed... No, I've noticed yes, I have noticing your edits. Oh please! Callback? And uh, The point is as soon as you spot it, once you see it, you can't unsee it. And I kept saying that, okay would that disqualify the piece? Yeah and the mixer looked like uh...it was made in a Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I didn't have an issue with the mixer like you did. Blobs! A lot of people did Lego stuff we very much liked the old bags but it doesn't really work. No, It's not gonna work. I kind of liked the Will Work for public broadcasting, the blue haired

1:57:41 I almost used that for the newsletter. I was gonna use that, the other one which came in a late piece that came in we should mention it came too late to do yeah who was the podcaster please donate. Yeah sad buddy! That piece came after we closed but And I like pieces that for the newsletter that are, uh...that ask for donations in the art. Yes! So I almost used it but it was so kind of depressing looking I ended up...I decided against it and then I probably lost us a thousand dollars I'm guessing in the donations Because it would have worked you know what? No it always works but I just felt bad about because the piece just looked like pathetic. So I ended up using We've Landed

1:58:38 By gun monkey for one reason only it's just a pretty piece. Yes, sometimes It's just a pretty piece that's right sometimes Well, we also want to thank everybody who supported us for this episode $50 and above. And at this moment in the show we'd like to stop and break for our executive and associate executive producers These are real titles show business titles you can use anywhere for as long as Hollywood exists by the way This being the special donation segment which people sometimes skip over they're going to miss our excellent review of the Grammy Awards Which you bailed on after what 10 minutes, I think oh it was unwatchable Unwatchable so it was worse than land man Yeah, you got that right So T. Oh no, I tried to set a marker and I messed it up here hold on a second so Tina and I watched

1:59:36 And just a couple of observations. First of all, ratings are down. Ratings are down almost 10% year over year I will say there was less Satan There was no actual Satan segment in this year's Grammys. From time to time there were women... But can I stop you there for a second? Yeah! I was thinking about this because I stopped watching that, and kind of looked at an overview looking for something you know just skip through it and if there was anything it just gave up but I think is because of the fires They're in LA, they just had a big fire. They couldn't put a bunch of fire on stage...they couldn't do all the fires! They couldn't do their normal fires? It would be triggering! Now you don't like Trevor Noah hosting that thing. Because Trevor Noah to me is a phony I used to see Trevor Noah when he did-I didn't see him personally but saw his bits on YouTube when he was a stand up comic out of South Africa

2:00:37 Hilarious he did a lot, but he did a lot of racist material which is back to you should go back to that What's the thing and he was really funny with it? He was very he was not politically correct. He went to The Daily Show became the host and we can Incredibly stayed and now on this show he I mean if I was going to describe him I would describe as trying to do his, whatever he was doing as a host. As talking too fast acting like you know if it was somebody else I'd say he was coked up. If it was Kamala. Interesting. He's rushing through his material nervously It just was like...it was cringy! I couldn't watch the show. It was terrible. Hmm. I don't know why they have him is the host what's he got to do with the music industry? Well he did last year and he's affordable probably

2:01:28 I think it's just affordable. And he gets to double as Bruno Mars, you know? So they get two for one look just like Bruno Mars and It was nice to see women in pretty dresses singing nice songs that That is the boomer adjacent in me and like oh look there's someone who's dressed how nice leaning on a piano and singing That was kind of impressive. Will Smith made his comeback, you know as if nothing had happened? Like oh yeah well he did the Quincy Jones segment There were a few DEI and trans comments, maybe three or four. There was a lot more God than usual I like that attribute that to President Trump yeah we've talked about this the president sets the tone like Bill Clinton made certain sexual acts not sex blowjobs it's not sex so that became a thing because it's not sex

2:02:25 And President Trump's talking more about God so that snuck in good, good. Now the thing that irked me the most because I have...I don't really watch You watch these things you're a maven Yeah, and there were some really good performances. I thought the new music, the new artist segment was outstanding But I don't watch a lot of network television well Of course I have news networks on all the time and just ignore the ad breaks but the number of ad breaks, and the first 10 without fail had a different pharmaceutical product in it that I'd never heard of before with each name was more horrible than the previous one. Okay, I've noticed this too! It was unbelievable! There's these crazy drugs that they're advertising and its unbelievable... They've got to put a stop to this And if you don't know what is like well what is this? Do I have this? I didn't even know what it is but its going solve it if I have it You couldn't even figure out what the affliction was that these drugs were for

2:03:26 It was... Have you seen the cartoon ad for Aliquist or whatever it is, I'm not sure what the drug was. Where's a cartoon? It's like for bipolar and there's literally a cartoon this girl I Miss that one. It's an entire cartoon it's a cartoon Advertisement with the crazy like a voice that's like either South African or now Australian? I can't even get the accent because it's kind of awkward so you can't quite understand what they're saying and especially when they get to the all the contraindications they just like blurred the first one that came by a side effect, I kid you not was death and

2:04:06 I saw it on the screen. Side effect could be death, like what? It's not a side effect! That's the end is your prescription may end because you'll die. It was unbelievable but i'm sorry I need to go back to the art for a second we got a beautiful note from The Farmer's Wife if you recall that her kids are homeschooled she has seven of them and we had questioned why They had the art of the podcaster with the sombrero. Yeah, you talked about this in last show? Yeah but she sent us a note we didn't have the note I thought we did No! We didn't Let me read the note...I don't think we did I think we did I don't think we did Well check the date Well i just copy pasted it into my show notes

2:03:26 It was... Have you seen the cartoon ad for Aliquist or whatever it is, I'm not sure what the drug was. Where's a cartoon? It's like for bipolar and there's literally a cartoon this girl I Miss that one. It's an entire cartoon it's a cartoon Advertisement with the crazy like a voice that's like either South African or now Australian?

We didn't Let me read the note...I don't think we did I think we did I don't think we did Well check the date Well i just copy pasted it into my show notes

2:04:57 Never mind. This is worth reading again? I don't think we read it the first time, but It was about the online application for podcasters to be at the White House briefings being only in Spanish That's what gave her the idea for The Art But she says and this is where I wanted to add That children are not allowed to listen to the podcast at this time so they only take prompts from me See she's prompting your kids like their AI We just found out... It's not good. I think they should listen to the show! I think so too, but I want to read this we just found out I'm pregnant with our eighth human resource

2:20:40 How about a few TikTok clips to round things up? Why not I mean it's everything's been kind of, I mean can TikTok even compete with the funny we've been seeing lately. No that's why they only have three. Oh okay only three well okay let's go! Okay well first let's start with this is a gay guy But I'm starting to see a lot of these clips where the Democrats, in fact let me preface this one with the...

2:21:19 Let's start with this one instead, then we'll go to the gay guy. I'm hearing a lot of these clips. These are Democrats complaining about Democrats complaining about Trump and this is a typical one. This is talk dem complainer. So we're still mad at the grocery prices that didn't come down even though Trump has only been in office for a couple weeks and now we're mad that Elon Musk has access to the treasury payments but what I want to know is why aren't we mad about the fact that we've been auto paying anybody that asks for money even if it's a terrorist group? You guys are constantly saying that we're the uneducated side, but why aren't you guys questioning the fact that the highest ranking Treasury official would rather resign than agree to an audit? We're so uneducated. But why aren't you guys putting two and two together about why they want to sue for Elon having access to the Treasury payments while his team Doge is exposing all the bullshit that our money is being spent on? You guys are still pushing grocery prices in our face but why don't you guys upset over the $4 million dollars that we spend yearly to prove whether duck quacks echo or not? Or why don't you guys upset over the fact that we spend five million dollars a year on sandwich standards

2:22:16 i live in new york, do you really think that I want my money going towards a f***ing pigeon sculpture while they're shitting on everything? and that's not even scratching the surface of where our money is going. apparently there are 1200 of these types of programs! you mean to tell me that our government has been spending money on things that have long expired one example being from 1998 and you guys are not mad about that?! you guys are still b******g about grocery prices and your b******g about the fact that Elon Musk is about to stop our money from being spent on bullsh** Bullshit programs that we can now argue is money laundering you guys can bitch that I'm spreading conspiracy all you want to but there's no fucking way That I'm gonna be okay with the fact that there's a cloud watching program that my money goes towards Language The language is not against. That's an interesting trend You're identifying and this is showing up in your algorithm field This isn't your feed it just pops up or people sending these to you

2:23:07 I have, I dig these up myself. I'm not dependent on my son. Are you searching for them? No they come up in the feed in various ways That's an interesting trend maybe the Chinese are like no let's uh... Let's set a piece of truth This is more complicated than that but let's go to the next one by the way before we go to the next one which is The Gay Guy You know, Rand Paul used to every year come before Congress and read a laundry list of all these stupid programs and all the same kind of thing that Trump rolled out as... not Trump but Musk. Rolled out as scams and jokes. And Rand Paul's gotten no credit for this. No he was the guy. He was the guy! Yep, and his dad before that

2:23:59 Yeah, they constantly in that but meanwhile now all of a sudden everyone's paying attention I just find it weird. In fact, I might call Paul's office and find out what was going on What do they think? Yeah record the call. I'm not gonna record the call So now here's this starts off as some woman complaining about something And the gay guy interrupts It's one of those, you know combo clips where somebody is bitching about somebody else. And the gay guy interrupts and he is another example of what would normally be a Democrat bitching about Democrats in it in a very solid way this is pretty good clip Trump supporters You do not get to be pissed about what is happening right now without also admitt- Oh my god that song I'm convinced these people are literally delusional

2:24:52 and they are on heavy drugs. I don't know a single Trump supporter that has complained about anything. This is exactly what we voted for, 100% exactly what we voted for and guess what honey? As a gay man, I'm glad that we no longer have to worry about pronouns anymore because I didn't know what the fuck that meant as a gay man. I'm happy that you can only be hired based on merit. As a child of an immigrant whose parents came here legally I'm happy that people now are being sent back that came here illegally. So none of us are complaining about anything, baby! You're sitting there wondering why we aren't? We're good over here!" Trump has unleashed the gays! A lot of black guys too... Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah you know because Americans ultimately are not stupid. We may be slow but we're not stupid

2:25:57 Well, some are and my last clip will be... And here's an example of one. So we'll go back to the haters because they're still hanging in there not as many as there were but this is a way you have to visualize this woman she is I don't know she's addicted to red make everything like she got the red lips She's got the Red eyeliner. She's got red eye shadow and red rouge. I mean, she's just red It's like, you know if she put any more red on she'd put a couple of horns would do the trick but here's the classic in the old sense. This is a throwback this is a golden oldie it's not an oldie as for its new but it's an old style every red voter allows themselves to be ignorant enough to stay guilt-free

2:26:52 about what they voted for. They don't want to look at the news, they don't want to pay attention to what's going on, they don't want to make statements or comments, they don't wanna denounce anything either it's funny everyone is so quiet I used to think there was a difference between Republicans Trump supporters and Nazis It's not really looking that way anymore when your party is being overrun and affiliating with Elon And no one, you're not saying anything. You're not hopping online saying hey wait a minute this isn't what I voted for this isn't what I wanted they are all so quiet it says a lot. Hi! You know? I think that you need to stay on the trend of the unleashed gay guys and Dem complaining about Dem complaining about Trump but I think that's better That should be the new beat

2:27:51 That may be hard to get. These things happen, it's just I'm just a vessel... A conduit as it were Yes yes I understand that's divine yes I understand Here is a potential customer for the fabulous book Too Many Eggs available at toomanyeggs.com. Egg prices might be prompting extreme illegal activity Pennsylvania State Police are investigating after 100,000 organic eggs were stolen over the weekend police say it happened Saturday night

2:28:28 In Greencastle, Pennsylvania it's about 65 miles southwest of Harrisburg where a distribution trailer was parked outside of a poultry company. Investigators say the stolen egg shipment is worth upwards of $40,000 That's a lot of eggs! $40,000 I think 50 thousand...eggs are going for a buck around here They're stealing the eggs They're stealing the eggs. So I had one of our producers about a month ago saying, there's no eggs anymore! He went on and on and he said... I said, there is eggs all over the place I said. And they were at Costco but I've noticed he's... maybe we're the last on the block here or into the line in California but Costco? No eggs. The eggs that i have seen are $1 a pop. Wow

2:29:19 A dollar an egg? Yeah, pretty much. Well this is the stupid bird flu that... That's exactly right! They called all these chickens and they jacked the price of eggs way up for no good reason. And fortunately because we had inclement weather so the eggs stopped laying up at Jay's place Oh yeah, they don't like it. They're like nope, we're on strike! The chickens stopped laying I said what?! Yeah, and so I'm not getting the free eggs. Yeah, but I hope that Cranks back up next week You have to be careful because you know The chickens will start brooding and then if one broods they'll all brood you have to like separate the brooder It chickens is more complicated than people nice things. You don't just throw some chickens in the backyard Like yeah, I got eggs no there's a lot of work

2:30:08 And that's what I keep telling Tina, who is like, I want chickens. No you don't! Oh, I see what you're doing. You're doing your research to prevent Tina from getting chickens Yes, yes...I do not want- That's the last thing I need because when some weasel gets in and there are slaughtered chickens all over the- Wipes out the chickens Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to go clean it up. Nah, I'll look at it. Yeah, you've got- You're right but I think you should still have chickens. No, we have friends who have chickens which is like having a friend with a boat. Oh if you have friends who have chickens then you don't need chickens and just get all the free eggs that you want That's what i'm saying! Oh yeah definitely. I agree with ya now. I've some big pharma news it is baffling Now remember the Surgeon General came out and said oh you know your drinking too much booze The booze gonna give you cancer Gonna kill ya But they're baffled now because its not

2:30:58 Coming from the blue. They don't know how, where is the colon cancer coming from? It was two years ago when out of the blue this 39 year old was diagnosed with colon cancer. It's a surprise it doesn't run in my family I was in good health Today, Emily Thirion is in remission. But like her more and more young people are being diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer including colon pancreatic and liver cancer Gastrointestinal cancer rates have been on the rise in patients under 50 and the causes remain unclear In the past, the increase was attributed to obesity tobacco and alcohol intake. However new tests are being conducted to find out what could be behind the recent rise. Experiments underway using hair fat and blood samples collected from 300 colon cancer patients

2:31:47 We're looking for toxins in foods, everything that may have contaminated it like packaging. We also check for traces of antibiotics. Gastrointestinal cancers account for a quarter of all new cancer cases and a third of cancer deaths worldwide. What could have changed? What happened? Gee, what changed over the last say four or five years that would account for this. Something happened but we can't... By the way I love the microplastics now it's like you have the equivalent of six plastic spoons in your brain! I have more microplastics in me than I weigh! Oh it's microplastics that's what's killing him really really at The Sovereign Wealth Fund don't worry they're gonna have two billion

2:32:37 these microplastic causes. What else could it be? I have no idea what it could be! Interesting, well that's what hopefully we'll find out if Kennedy gets in but they put his voting off for a week... Oh in advance?! Yeah they put it in advance but here's something I was reading into one of the newsletters I get 30-hour stalling. Who's the guy they've been stalling on the most to push through as a cabinet member? Can you tell me, I'm gonna tell you who it is but tell me if the news media has even discussed this guy. Who they've stalled the most? Yeah! I don't know who they stalled the most... Russell Vaught

2:33:28 Well, no wonder. As Director of Office Management and Budget OMB! Oh yeah they don't want anyone going in there and looking at payrolls So the Democrats have stayed in session to protest the confirmation of Russell Vaught This is from Natalie Del Conte's, Natalie Morris' newsletter Oh brother She's got a good newsletter I do not like this show but the newsletter is good and became the... he was associated with Project 2025, so they hate him. He wrote the parts of the plan that had to do with shrinking the federal government workforce non-government organizations and taking control of the budget There may be something interesting in that organization that we'd that they don't want to come to light You know what this is John? Season of reveal! That's what I've been saying. Season of reveal

2:34:20 I'm glad you're on board with me. President Trump also signed an executive order with great trepidation, he says he really didn't want to sign it but i gotta sign this thing for Iran and hope we don't have to use it...I really don't like signing this but I'm gonna sign because I have too but I don't really want to I am really sad and Peter Doocy asks the pre-president Pre-setup question, I presume. And why is it here? I'm happy to sign it if it's Iran and their proxies who threaten to retaliate against you and your team by killing you guys or taking out Soleimani Well they haven't done that and That would be a terrible thing for them to do It would be terrible for them to kill you yeah Because of me If they did that They'd be obliterated That'll be the end...I've left instructions

2:35:09 If they do it, they get obliterated. There won't be anything left And they shouldn't be able to do it. And Biden should have said that, but he never did and I don't know why lack of intelligence perhaps, but he never said if that happens to a leader or close to a leader frankly if you had other people involved also You would call for total obliteration of the state that didn't that wouldn't include Iran So I'm signing this and its very powerful document But hopefully we're not going Now can a president leave a dead man switch? I mean is that possible, that you know...I've left instructions if they kill me then you drop the nuke on Iran. Is that even possible? No! I didn't think so but i thought it was interesting. Is that another blurt? No this was thought out. We have some interesting news from California

2:36:13 I don't know if you have kept up with this. This is another... This is another thing that we've kept up with over the years on The No Agenda Show. New information on California's high-speed rail project as President Donald Trump calls for an investigation, the original plan for high speed rail was set to take riders from Los Angeles to San Francisco future plans include connecting Sacramento to the system. The original cost estimate was 45 billion dollars when it was pitched to voters back in 2008 estimate has now swelled to 128 billion at last check with no estimated completion date. The project's inspector general told us today that ongoing risks of delay including construction delays because of continued disagreement with third party

2:37:03 Board trains good, planes bad. for the station. That's right, well you got... yeah because they were going to build that's right! It might still be in San Francisco I don't think so but yeah Well maybe No i don't think so maybe not Yes you were displaced because they were building a new Transbay terminal Eminent domain was kicked out of it and they're gonna build a new Transbay terminal and in that terminal are going to be the high-speed rail trains underneath this thing

2:37:50 And of course they built a new Transbay terminal. They never put the rail into the bottom of it, and this is just a fiasco another boondoggle Yes, and yeah, and they took out a bunch at a nice bar around where you were in that your building was pretty cool Yeah Natoma Street doesn't even exist anymore Staying in California, Newsom's Inferno. Looks like State Farm is on the move! Farm Insurance is asking California lawmakers to approve an emergency rate hike The company says it has already received around 8700 claims connected to the LA wildfires and the company has paid out more than a billion dollars They're asking for a 22% rate hike for homeowner policies A 38%.

2:38:35 hike for rentals and 15% increase for tenants. The rate hikes if approved would start on May 1st, State Farm says the hikes would allow them to rebuild their capital base to continue coverage in California. Consumer Watchdog has been critical of the request saying state farm has not provided enough proof to show it needs money. The insurance company most recently raised rates by 20% last March State Farm is California's largest home insurer, covering about a million homeowners in the state. Now will you be affected by this? I think we've already been affected by it. Oh, you raised the bar too high on that one... We do have State Farm and they were canceling a lot of policies They never canceled ours Mimi has found out why You're on a hill! You got nothing to worry about! No, beside Hill but no is because we took there was some sort

2:39:31 Writer or something that if you were subscribed to it, which was recommended then they would put in a different category and you weren't Messed with pays to have a good woman in your life. Yeah women always do the job yeah and So somehow They do so somehow I don't know yeah, you're locked out oh Well, the whole thing is a mess. some guy, a climate change guy probably about you know rebuilding and how are we going to rebuild? State Farm says it will renew policies for people hit by the fires. The governor says insurance companies cannot cancel plans for these affected homeowners You understand risk you also understand why people are sentimental is this a good idea to rebuild in exactly the same places

2:40:41 Well, people do have the right to rebuild in exactly the same places. The question is how are they going to rebuild? There's a new building code in California that's supposed to go into effect next year for example that requires electrification I think we should take advantage of this terrible, terrible tragedy and not to minimize in any way how horrific it is. To build back better. For a better life beyond your freedom Build Back Better California! Yeah, Build Back Better People are getting ripped off by the electrical bills in this state Gas is a lot cheaper so let's get rid of it

2:41:23 What a mess. I'm sorry you live out there, it's just tough. You were tough go!

Go back to the one I used last time, the one I had submitted last time that got bumped by yours That was a good one Which one was that?

3:01:55 Do you remember which one it was? Well, I have the list here. Well, I remember what I had... Goodness gracious! I had that one No no go to try no way This one here we go there is no way anything can be this good Yeah, I think we should use that one That's a good one yeah, that would work Thank goodness Alright everybody its time for that beautiful moment in the show John C Dvorak tip of the day Can I do mine first? Yeah, please do yours first. This was a tip from from a producer for those of you who use Android phones and You do and you like using the voice to text feature

3:02:45 Which a new voice input is quite handy, but you don't want Google Saving all of your transcripts which I'm pretty sure they do or did you there's an open source? Voice-to-text system that is created by funny enough a company in Austin and they have Their entire website is explains exactly how they're not lame. It is called futo FUT Oh and you can find them at futo.org, you can even download it as an APK so you don't have to get it off of the Play Store... And then you can look up their GitHub see how everything works It does pretty well! It's not quite as fast as you'd expect from a

3:03:32 from the Googles, but at least you know and it's pretty accurate. At least you know that it is not saving that to embarrass you later in life. That is my tip of the day. That's a good one. Thank you So this tip is more an education than a tip This stemmed from last year or post-mortem where I turned out that I'd known you for 31 years or so Me? And you didn't know anything about olive oil And you had come back from Italy. I'm still reeling it that we've known each other for 31 years and you're probably right, that's the hard part about it! Yes right...I didn't know..I mean yes go ahead ummm....I will take my lickens. Because you had gone to Tuscany? Yes. And brought back a bunch of olive oil and then now told you couple things and you were clueless about it and I have to assume and I talked about doing this at the tip of day people don't know anything about olive oil

3:04:30 That's correct. Or at least they generally don't and just a few basics olive oil only keeps for two years max and has to be kept... This is what I didn't, I was surprised by that! This is the thing you were surprised by? Yes it was. You thought olive oil like all oils goes rancid which is and the kind of racidity that you achieve from these oils butter does this coffee beans do it anything with oil the rancidity is unhealthy and olive oil is good for two years. And so when you buy olive oil, you should always check on the back of the bottle it should have either pick date or use by date

3:05:12 And it should be in, you know, just a round number. Costco's extra virgin olive oil that they sell Italian in the green bottle not the organic but the regular stuff usually has information on the back and you can tell how...you know because they...the batches change about once every four months at Costco and you want the freshest, newest olive oil you can find hopefully within a year. But after two years it starts to go bad and it's not something that ages like wine so you have to be careful with olive oil. The other thing is that people don't know I just was thinking about it to add to this simple tip is most olive oil by a factor of almost all the olive oil in the world

3:06:00 Spain makes most of it. And they make more olive oil than anybody by far, you take everybody else combined is about what Spain makes and most of their olive oils blended into other olive oils and you have to be careful because it's always Italian olive oils always considered the best Tuscan olive oil is always considered the best of the best. Just a couple things, I find Sicilian olive oil to be really good but my favorite olive oils come from Provence France and California which makes some terrific olive oils but their production is so low it doesn't even show up on the list of olive oil makers South American olive oils are also good

3:06:39 So the point is that you have to be careful with the Italian stuff, which is the most promoted because you have to make sure that you read the label and make sure it says produced in Italy with Italian olives. Because they'll often say packed in Italy so say Italian olive oil! And they'll say packed in Italy and its Spanish olive oil or even worse Greece. Oh no! That's the worst No, Grecian olive oil is always considered greasy. I don't like it. It has a weird taste though. It's greasy but that...I will say this in Spain there are terrific olive oils around but very few of them get exported and they have varietal olive oils and all the rest and you oh the last tip which is going crazy then noagentitips.net can keep up

3:07:35 The last tip is the idea what is extra virgin? Yeah, what is that? What is extra virgin extra extra virgin you can get extra virgin. Yes Extra-virgin olive oil is an oil that this and usually what you want to get his first pressed extra virgin although any you and it should you should first press because you want it to be to be pressed by extraction and by a press. And so I'll just read from the thing, extra virgin olive oil is... You mash up the olives and you start to press them to get the oil in it. You can't use heat or chemicals to extract the oil, it has to be just purely pressed and the first pressing is the good stuff

3:08:22 That's the extra virgin? That's the extra virgin first press. First press, best price! And so that's what you want is this it doesn't cost that much more than the cheaper stuff but as time goes...as they try to get more oil out of the olives they'll go to the point where they will extract it using a hexane which is what most oils are Most oils you buy are hexane extracted. You know, I think that you should give up on the vinegar book and do an oil book! You seem to be on point with it... And by the way, now we have to give this away because what happens is we went to the winery Castello Verrazano, the guy who discovered the Hudson Bay and the Verrazano Bridge is named after him, and then the cannibals ate him in The Bahamas which was a bummer

3:09:10 For him. It was a bad day, a day wrecker but the way it works is you know they give you and man I tell you the Italian wineries like yeah you have wine to tasting and they give you six full-on pours your all hammered luckily we had a driver with you're all hammering there like we could send it to Texas You know I'm not gonna order like a whole bunch like we ordered some wine just like you know couple And then we ordered vinegar And what they're famous for and then the olive oil. I think we got six bottles so we gotta give it away, We'll never use it in time before it goes rancid That's not true. I don't know how much olive... I plow through one of those big giant

3:09:55 liter and a half bottles of Costco oil about once every four months. You're guzzling the stuff! I'm not, you're guzzling it! I don't know... The bottles you have are all three fit 75's you said? I'm gonna send you one! I'll send you one. Yeah send me one or it will be done in no time. Alright that ladies and gentlemen is John's tip for the day. Tipoftheday.net NoAgendaFun.com You and me, just the tip of the JCD. And sometimes Adam created by Dana Burnetti That's it everybody Wow that was quite the tip of the day and I learned something uh i learned that you've known me for 31 years I'm very disturbed by this This is a very disturbing thing to think about

3:10:45 It's like, you know, like Nussbaum sent me a video of my hair at the Video Music Awards in 1989. I really don't remember much of it. Yeah well there are reasons for that. Because it was 36 years ago! You think its weed related but it wasn't. Coming up end-of-show mixes from David Kekta We also have Joe Grillo That's right Joe Grillo did a fun little ditty for us And next up on the No Agenda stream, TrollRoom.io and on your modern podcast apps it's a good show Planet Ridge! It's Larry and Darren of all the shows that kind of mimic no agenda I think they're the best They could take over in four years they'd move up a slot in time Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry

3:11:38 And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're finally getting, well finally. We got some the other day too but it's raining out I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Sunday where we'll have our annual Super Bowl predictions and of course a lot more media deconstruction and more blurts! Until then adios motifosa hooey hooey and such! It's as racist as 1, 2, 3 White supremacists or A B A B C 1,2,3 baby you're not seen ABC It's as racist as 1,2,3 White supremacists or AB ABC 1,2,3 baby you're not seen

3:12:23 The FAA's website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualified. Nearly 40,000 have voted agreeing with me. Turning to President Trump's response to this major tragedy just a day after the aircraft collision.

3:13:01 Without any evidence, his familiar scapegoats the previous administrations and DEI. I put safety first Obama, Biden and the Democrats were policy firsts then they put politics at a level that that nobody's ever seen. They put a big push to put diversity into the FAAs, they actually came out with a directive to white people and want the people that are competent... But white people have always indulged in cannibalism they ate their slaves and they eat black people that were free after the Emancipation Proclamation after lynchings People

3:13:49 People who eat people. Unmentionable cuisine has recipes for everything. All the luckiest people The Delectable Negro, which covers recipes of how to eat black people. I don't remember how the recipe goes. I don't think you have to grind it necessarily. Another book called Edible People. People would buy that!

3:14:29 100% certified white people eat black people tasting more like chicken than children I'm not just feeding you a bunch of bullshit there are a plethora of books that you can look into that proves this is fact The best podcast in the universe! There is no way anything can be this good.
