Leave it to Bibi

00:00 Come on people, wear a wire! Just days away! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where everybody's getting it wrong, I'm John C. Dvorak. That's what I've been saying for the past three days, Satina. Everyone's getting it wrong! It's all wrong! It's all wrong! By the way, happy Juneteenth! Oh yes, Juneteenth, yeah. Happy Juneteenth, everybody. That's right. You know what Juneteenth is about, don't you? Yeah, about the dummies in Texas. No!

00:54 Juneteenth is about voting. Today is Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day. The federal holiday commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. And there will be multiple events happening across our area today, including one with Reverend Al Sharpton and Spike Lee at Juniors in downtown Brooklyn. Good morning, Pedro. Well, we just heard Phil talk about voting. That is going to be the message here this morning. Reverend Al Sharpton is expected to be here at the iconic restaurant here in Brooklyn with the award-winning filmmaker Spike Lee. to kick off the Juneteenth celebrations this morning now for civil rights activists. Juneteenth serves as a potent reminder that freedom isn't merely declared, it must be protected through things like voting. So Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of enslaved African Americans in the United States on this day. There you go, you got Al Sharpton and Spike Lee out there saying, happy Juneteenth, you gotta vote Democrat!

01:47 They're getting an early jump on the midterms. That's all that's... Juneteenth, as you know, it's about voting. It's all about voting. Police. Capture. Ah, capture. Yeah. I don't know. Are they celebrating Juneteenth outside your door there in Berkeley? No, nobody's... they're not even protesting. I don't know what's wrong with this area. Could you please get that area into shape? They are not following the rules, man. They're not following the rules. Well, yes, you are right. Everyone's getting it wrong.

02:27 Uh... So I see your clips, of course, as we know, I never listen to your clips. You have no idea what clips I'm bringing. We have not coordinated. We don't talk. We don't really want to talk in between shows. If we talk seven hours a week, it's more than enough. You sound like a magician on the stage. That's right. Don't ever met me Have we ever met each other before? We ever met each other before I don't think so have we discussed planned anything No, we haven't so I will get you into your clips with with two clips to get you started first We'll start with a little A mini cut? 1995 Iran will be capable of producing a load without importing anything nuclear bombs within 3 to 5 years The deadline for attaining this goal 1996 is getting extremely close Iran 2002 are racing to develop nuclear weapons Iran is gearing up to have 2006 to produce 25 bombs, atomic bombs a year 250 bombs in a decade 2012 By next spring, at most by next summer at current enrichment rates

03:31 They will be finished. Iran is so dangerous. Weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs. Iran to produce an arsenal of nuclear weapons. They have the wherewithal, the stored up preserved knowledge to make a bomb very quickly if they wanted to do it. Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be within a few months. My favorite of those is 2012 because we were doing the show and he held in the United Nations He held up that drawing of a bomb like a spy versus spy bomb. Oh that great. Yes, I forgot about the drawing So we've we've been just weeks away months away days away very close nuclear arsenal since we've been tracking it 1995

04:22 And this whole thing, this whole thing, the whole past few days has thrown everybody into a tizzy. This is the lead in into your clips I'm sure. He campaigned on pledges to end wars and not start new ones. The issue has exposed divides within Trump's MAGA base. Conservative pundit and Trump ally Tucker Carlson is one of those opposed to deeper involvement. Tensions reached boiling point when he interviewed Republican Senator Ted Cruz accusing him of knowing nothing about Iran. Trump hit out at Carlson on his truth social page saying somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon Others on Carlson's side include Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon who took to social media to urge decisions that put America first

05:20 Thoughts echoed by Charlie Kirk, the founder of conservative activist group Turning Point USA. Take out the Ayatollah. Resist that temptation. That's a zeal. And that very same zeal got us involved in a pile of garbage. In Iraq. On the other side of Trump's orbit, Senator Lindsey Graham says Washington should do whatever it can to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb. If diplomacy fails, Mr. President, President Trump, you've been great. Help Israel finish the job. Give them bombs. Israel, Israel. Fox News personality Mark Levin took it one step further saying anyone who wasn't on board with wiping out the threat posed by Iran was a Marxist Islamist. An Islamo-Nazi regime with a nuclear warhead, intercontinental missiles that have threatened to assassinate the President of the United States. See? And we have morons.

06:14 fools running around the country. This isn't Magna. Magna? This isn't what I voted for. Magna? No, I did not vote for Magna. No, no. So that's just a little sampling of what has been going on and oh my lord. That's actually good. That's the overview. That's the overview. So over to you. We have not met before. I have plenty of stuff but I'm gonna go off track a bit at the beginning. by bringing up a couple of kind of factors. And it was based on one of our Martel guy, Martel Hardware. Oh, oh, MartelHardware.com! Gold! He says, I know you hate Scott Horton, but you should listen to this. Oh, I clipped it.

07:05 Oh you did? Is this the part where he talked... well you probably didn't clip what I wanted to. No, I'm sure I didn't clip and I want to come to that later. But go ahead and... Well he said something in there, you know it's the same blather, you know, the guy's not a big fan. But, you know, and he's just hard to look at. And so, uh... Wow, come on, he can't handle it. I know, it's just beneath me. But what is the tent he's in, is my question. He's in a tent. It's a good question. But when he said that the deterrence on the part of Iran over the years has always been we could build a nuclear missile, but we're not gonna do it. We're not gonna build a nuke. But the threat of us possibly doing it is what the deterrence was. And I found that to explain a lot. And that combines with something I ran into on an Indian

08:05 I just ran into it, this was pretty coincidental. I was looking something up and it was an Indian celebrity website where they talk about celebrities and how tall they are. You know, I always like to do this anyway. How tall they are, how fat they are, and all the rest of it. And there was a entry for Donald Trump from 20 years ago. In the entry it said, Donald Trump hobbies reading. Oh no! And what did he like to read? Mein Kampf of course because he has it next to his bed. Mein Kampf, we all know that. He liked to read histories and biographies.

08:45 And when you start thinking about it, that's kind of, that's interesting, because he kind of thinks of himself as a historical character, and a biography, and he's a biographical type of guy, and histories. And histories, if you like reading histories, just like reading them, you're gonna be reading a lot of world history. That means he's very familiar with Tamerlane. Tamerlane was a Genghis Khan clone in the 1300s, and he had an experience with Persia. And because I remember this myself, Tamerlane was taking over the place. He's the one who created the modern Middle East in the 1300s. And he, by owning everything he could, and he sent some emissaries to Persia to say, we want, you know, want to do a deal?

09:31 You got 60 days. Didn't quite say that. But wanted to do a deal and send some emissaries and the way one story goes, they said screw you, we don't give a shit what you think, chopped an emissary's head off, put it in a box and sent it back. Nice. Tamerlane took Persia out, rubbilized the entire country, killed everybody he could. No one knows this anymore, John. No one knows this. No one knows this. And it turns out when you start looking into it, the Persians have always been a-holes bringing this sort of destruction on themselves over and over and over again throughout history. And Trump has to be aware of this. And it's at the point where...the clips I'm going to play are secondary to my basic thinking, which is that we're just sick of it. It's got nothing to do with, oh, Iraq or being sucked into a never-ending war. We're just sick of it.

10:31 were sick of Iran. Right since Reagan got in, he wanted to bomb because he took out the Marine barracks and killed 40 Marines or whatever it was. Over and over again, they created Hezbollah, Hamas, no matter what Alex Jones thinks. Israel funded them, man! They created it! I looked it up! So, I looked it up. I looked it up. And so, and their death to America, death to America ever since 79 where they took over the embassy illegally by all international law and kept our people there for a year. It ruined the nightline show, which is we're going to stay on the air forever until they let the guys go. And the whole thing.

09:31 You got 60 days. Didn't quite say that. But wanted to do a deal and send some emissaries and the way one story goes, they said screw you, we don't give a shit what you think, chopped an emissary's head off, put it in a box and sent it back. Nice. Tamerlane took Persia out, rubbilized the entire country, killed everybody he could. No one knows this anymore, John. No one knows this. No one knows this.

It's got nothing to do with, oh, Iraq or being sucked into a never-ending war. We're just sick of it.

10:31 were sick of Iran. Right since Reagan got in, he wanted to bomb because he took out the Marine barracks and killed 40 Marines or whatever it was. Over and over again, they created Hezbollah, Hamas, no matter what Alex Jones thinks. Israel funded them, man! They created it! I looked it up! So, I looked it up. I looked it up.

It ruined the nightline show, which is we're going to stay on the air forever until they let the guys go. And the whole thing.

11:15 We're sick of it. We're just sick of it. And Trump knows the story. Put the deadline on there. It happened the day after the 60 Days was up, just like Tamerlane. We're just sick of Iran. Bush wanted to bomb them and couldn't do it because the CIA said, don't worry about this, they really don't have a bomb. The CIA intelligence people and Tulsi Gabbard are probably all right. They probably don't have a bomb, but they have this threat they're going to do a bomb if they have to. And then death to America, death to Israel, and they're just horrible. Trump is the one that's going to say screw it,

11:52 BB go ahead and bomb the hell out of him and maybe we'll do even more after this gets going. And that's the basis for all this. It's got nothing to do with never-ending wars or they have a nuke, they don't have a nuke, they have a nuke or they got a nuke two weeks away. All this bullshit. We're sick of it. We're sick of it. Since you bring up the 60 days. I think this is warranted to play. Striking Iranian nuclear facilities, where's your mindset on that? I can't say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question. Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly, sir? Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch? I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that

12:41 Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn't you negotiate? I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country. It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never I've never seen anything like it. So you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse. I didn't I didn't think so. And I was telling him, you got to you got to do something. You got to negotiate. And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that. And they got hit. Remember 60 days and then came the 60, 61 is going to become a very famous number. That was one hell of a hit, that first hit. That was one hell of a hit. Not sustainable, to be honest. There you go. He's bringing up the history just as you said. 61! It was 60 but now it's 61. 61 is going to go down in history. I'm going to be bigger than the history books. 61. 61.

13:39 So he's the one after Reagan and Bush and everybody in between wouldn't do anything, he's decided that that's it. Drew a line, created the 60 days, created a parallel kind of a situation with what happened in the 1300s and here we go. But meanwhile everyone's all bent out of shape so I've got these clips. You brought up Tucker Carlson. Yes I did, just for you. And you had a really good Levin clip. So let's listen to, So Bannon had Tucker on his show and they had some pretty good exchanges, but then Tucker Which is he's more comfortable as the host brought Bannon on his show Yes, and then they got into it and with some discussions that I thought were fascinating. Yes, but let's listen to This one. This is not part of this about the series. The series is a

14:31 There's two little series, but this one's just a standalone. This is Ban and Tucker talking about Mark Levin. And Tucker, it's interesting when you look at his waveforms, when he's revealing... I record everything. Oh, he goes small up, small up, small up. Is that kind of his waveform? No, he has when he's revealing certain things he drops his voice to an extreme. Oh, yeah And it is like telling secrets out of class so he drops his voice now I boosted all those up and when I boosted him it sounded normal

15:08 So he's got some sort of tale that goes on with this dropping his voice way down. But it's clear when you bring it up. It's a very interesting phenomenon. But here he is talking about Mark Levin because there's a beef going on between the two of them and Tucker is a maniac. And Tucker's whole thing is like Don Rickles when he insults people. He says, no, no, just kidding, just kidding. I love the guy. I love the guy. And then he doesn't laugh, exactly right. And he says he loves everybody. Of course. Here we go. The platform of Fox though, it's just not Mark. Why is Fox like all weekend? It's just cheerleading. You could play side by side Iraq in 2003. Oh, I was there. And here, and what's happening today? Why is this apparatus? Well, Vin's the funniest because he's terrible on TV.

16:02 And again, I never had any problems with him at Fox. He kind of controls Hannity in this weird way. I never understood what that was about. I never really cared to learn. Sean was great to me, always nice. And so was Levin. So I just like kind of stayed away. But they didn't want to put him on TV because he's like screechy and he's just not a calming presence. Not coming on TV! Like, oh my! I'm literally floating in and out of consciousness and the attendant has taken the remote to go have a cigarette. You're gonna flip the channel when Mike Clemen gets on TV. It's like listening to your ex-wife scream about alimony payments. It's like not appealing. So they wouldn't put him on TV. And then, you know, Sean pushed and they gave him some kind of weekend show that nobody watched. Now I don't have a TV, but- What? What? He owns a TV, which was telling me that he's like all over prime time.

16:51 So what is that? That's not by popular acclaim. That's not like their viewer surveys. Like, you know, we need a lot more Mark Levin. Less Jesse Waters, more Mark Levin. What they're doing is what they always do, which is just Turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to you know knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit this is this is where the country this is where the population the voters are ahead of the political class in the media the American people do not want any more engagement in a foreign war they just they saw Iraq this Afghanistan were just out I think they're racist I think is that what you're saying

17:32 I love doing his laugh. I'm getting pretty good at that. You got it. I think I've nailed it. Wait, that was bad. You got it. I've tried it. I'm not even close. It hurts. It hurts. It's not an easy one. Well, you know, it's a lot of good stuff does hurt. Yes. So, so Bannon is on the show and he wants Tucker to become part of government. Yeah. I heard all this by the way. So I'm glad when I saw the clips come in, I'm like, Oh dynamite, John did it. Thank God I don't have to do it. Yeah. Most of my time was spent boosting those. I bet it was. Boosting the, you know, getting the normalizing the signal. Jeez. Yeah. So, um,

18:14 So Bannon for some reason he sees everything as a we and he thinks he's part of some... and if you look at, by the way, Bannon does have an operation called the movement. The movement. Out of Brussels. Really? You know about this? No, what is the... out of Brussels? That can't be good. No, the movement is a worldwide populist movement, literally, to get people to get all these governments to put populists in. And it's a political organization of some sort. And it's called the movement and Bannon runs it. And he's behind it. He's got his Seinfeld money. He's got his fingers in a lot of different pots. Yeah, well, I sent in an article. It's in the show notes. Unmasking Steve Bannon. Yeah, I put it in the show notes. Yeah, it's in the show notes. People should read it. It reminds us, because it reminded me

19:14 that Bannon is the one who came up with the sleazy scheme to put up the wall in Texas and then, you know, the money disappeared kind of. Yeah, it was dubious what happened there. It was dubious. That's all we can say. Yeah. But what was he involved for in the first place? Sorry. Now it's a tick. Please don't do that. Okay. So here he is with trying to cajole Tucker into becoming political and when you listen to band and everything's a we, we, we, as though he's got a big organization behind him and maybe he does. But it's very creepy, but these two clips lead into the four really good clips where they start talking about the CIA and who knows what about what. It's very interesting. We need a handful of smart people around President Trump. They're saying, look, we put Cash and Bongino in the FBI. We've put Ellis in the Rex. We are stamping, as we say in the Netherlands, in the old country. We are stamping, aren't we? Said the elephant to the mouse.

20:19 So he says we put in Bongino, we put in Pachinko. Yeah, he did it man. He's running the show. Steve Bannon is your overlord. By the way, what he's about to say to Tucker is very similar to what Pachinko said to me. We really need a guy like you in US government, Adam. Really? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, he's like, isn't it time for you to return and come to the... return, which was interesting, and come to the USG? I'm like, no, I don't think I want to be in the USG.

20:58 Yeah, I forgot to tell you that. Put Cash and Bongino into FBI. We've put Ellis in Radcliffe's CIA. We've put a handful of great people at DOJ. We've put Pete in a handful of great people at Defense. We put Tulsi and Joe Kent in a handful of people at DNI. It's not enough. The apparatus still runs the deal. We are hanging on in a very tenuous shape. We need to go to war like they want to go to war in Persia. We need to go to war with them. And I mean, Take the sword out of the scabbard and throw away the scabbard. We have to do that now. If I got anywhere near any kind of institutional power, which I've never sought and I don't seek now, but if I ever did, you know, I think the Tom Cottons and the donors and people like that, I mean, I think they'd put, I mean, I think that would be really hard. Okay, Pilgrim. Yeah, please. So he says that it's like, what is banning? Why is and he's doing this in public. This is like a public

21:56 Recruitment. It's a recruitment, it's a we. And who's we? What I see Bannion doing here is he knows the power of Tucker's audience. He knows it's a different audience probably that watches him, or at least there's this Venn diagram, but not all of it. You're right. It's not the same audience that watches The War Room. Right. So he's trying to draw Tucker in, which is what you're seeing across the board, whether it's Dave Smith, whether it's Scott Horton, whether it's Megyn Kelly. I mean, it's all

22:32 All clicks. They're all clicking together and it's very disturbing because of the podcast. But there it is. I think you nailed it. I think that's one of the major elements of this. And I agree, it's disturbing. I don't like seeing stuff like that. But anyway, let's listen to part two of this recruitment promotion. That would be really hard. I think they'd put Kitty Porter on my computer. I'd get pancreatic. I don't know, man. I think first off just the announcement of that, the intention of that would unmask. We need part of this is going to an unmasking who's on our side and who's not on our side because a lot of people they're pretending to be on our side are on the opposite side.

23:20 Yeah, and this is where they kind of kicked into the whole CIA talk which I found to be very interesting because man Tucker knows a lot about the CIA Well, did you live that little he let a little bit a little thing slip in that little episode was reason I kept it in He says well, you know, the problem is I get in there and then I didn't might they say something he says I computer and pancreatic cancer and pancreatic cancer Well, but didn't you bring that up in the conversation about the CIA that you know some guy was not loyal to Langley and then he got pancreatic cancer and died really quickly? Not in this discussion that I remember. Okay, but I remember that. But that's possible. But this pancreatic cancer thing has always been somewhat disconcerting because it's a very rare form of cancer and it crops up out of the... it crops up a lot more than you'd think with famous people.

24:10 Steve Jobs had it for example. Yes, yes. Aggressive, an aggressive form of cancer. So I think, and he didn't quite finish saying pancreatic cancer, he just kind of started to say it and then pulled back. So I found that to be screwy. So here we go, now they're going to start talking about, they're going to start talking shop. And this is the best, some of the best stuff. It's like really outstanding. And this is a, They bring in the CIA, but there's a kicker in the first clip which triggered my whole...

24:47 catching all this, otherwise I wouldn't have recorded any of this until this happened. I would like to have John Ratcliffe go to the stakes and I think Ratcliffe's a good man. John Ratcliffe should go to the stakes and say two things. Number one, we had no involvement at all in the Ukraine assault under Russia. Just say it, because he's kind of been in hiding in that and then he ought to be open to questions. He's never criticized. No one ever criticizes John Ratcliffe. Well, the reason I think they're not... I think the reason they're not criticizing John Ratcliffe, and John Ratcliffe's a good man, but you have to remember, John Ratcliffe was a mayor of a small town in Texas that went to Congress, did a great job. President Trump likes him a lot. He's got Mike Ellis over there, but they're two guys, right? We don't have 10 political appointees, which we should have. We got two guys running that building. That's the way the agency's structured. There's no civilian control of the A.A. Well, you know better than anybody, but it's...

25:40 You know better than anybody Tucker really so that trigger obviously when I heard that it's like okay Yeah, let's get some more clips here. You know better than anybody there's and what they dropped out of that Which really irks me about some of these guys and Bannon being one of them Is they say there's two guys running that place running the building to CIA? Mm-hmm supervisors of some sort you guys and it's not Bradcliffe or whoever's the head guy. It's two guys. Who are the two guys? They never... I'm asking anybody out there. I'd just like to know who they are.

26:24 Do we know who they are? I do not know. Well, they both know there's two guys. Yeah. So they both must know who they are. So why don't they just mention their names just so we can know who they are? But Tucker knows better than anybody. And Tucker knows better than anybody. And of course, we know the names are all fake because you have to do that. And they're wearing masks, so it doesn't help. Well, that's all possible. Yes, it could be. fake names, fake faces. The whole thing. Yeah, that's always a possibility. So here we go. It runs the way it's going to run. I mean, we sent Pompeo over there. It's an army. It's a business. It's a government agency. It's a country. It's a venture capital firm. It's literally a venture capital firm. And its budget is unknown. Its reach is... And we have no idea what they're doing. Of course, because the majority of things that they do are not

27:15 you know, US government employees doing, even the door kickers. No, it's they're working through some exile group. They've been funding for 30 years, right? They will also look you right in the eye. Oh, I know. And lie to you. Oh, I was... That's the wilderness of mirrors, right? Look, look. And they're smart. Somebody said to me the other day, someone knowledgeable said, the problem with the US government is like, why can't we do this or that? And like, if you wanted light rail, you know, we couldn't do it. And this person said, because all the smartest people in government are at CIA. Yeah. So that's interesting in itself. Yes, yes. Well for sure we don't hear much about the CIA. We hear a lot about Kash Patel and Dan Bargino. Who Bannon put in. Yeah, thank you Bannon. Yeah. Okay so we continue with this.

28:04 Because they're just doing a brain dump here and this is fascinating in some way because you know as we know Tucker knows more than anyone. Here we go. He does. They also with the interagency process they control the entire process. This is why downsizing NSC was so important. When you have this we had these detailees that come from all the different departments because NSC should have 30 people but it had 250. They're 60 local appointees. Yeah. Right. And there's 280 come from different agencies to do all the different paperwork. They have the interagency process. The CIA controls that process. They control the process at the Pentagon. They control the DHS. They control over the Justice Department. They are embedded deep because they've been around, you know, they've been around so long and they know how to embed deep right with the smartest people out there. And so if you don't get control of that, you're not going to get control. They're like a Praetorian Guard right now.

27:15 you know, US government employees doing, even the door kickers. No, it's they're working through some exile group. They've been funding for 30 years, right? They will also look you right in the eye. Oh, I know. And lie to you. Oh, I was... That's the wilderness of mirrors, right? Look, look. And they're smart. Somebody said to me the other day, someone knowledgeable said, the problem with the US government is like, why can't we do this or that? And like, if you wanted light rail, you know, we couldn't do it. And this person said, because all the smartest people in government are at CIA. Yeah. So that's interesting in itself. Yes, yes. Well for sure we don't hear much about the CIA. We hear a lot about Kash Patel and Dan Bargino. Who Bannon put in. Yeah, thank you Bannon. Yeah. Okay so we continue with this.

28:04 Because they're just doing a brain dump here and this is fascinating in some way because you know as we know Tucker knows more than anyone. Here we go. He does. They also with the interagency process they control the entire process. This is why downsizing NSC was so important. When you have this we had these detailees that come from all the different departments because NSC should have 30 people but it had 250. They're 60 local appointees. Yeah. Right. And there's 280 come from different agencies to do all the different paperwork. They have the interagency process. The CIA controls that process. They control the process at the Pentagon. They control the DHS. They control over the Justice Department. They are embedded deep because they've been around, you know, they've been around so long and they know how to embed deep right with the smartest people out there. And so if you don't get control of that, you're not going to get control. They're like a Praetorian Guard right now.

28:54 We have to, we have to land this. This is like the Roman, late stage of the Roman Empire when the Praetorian Guard kind of ran the deal and they would put forward every legionary captain that they thought was going to be good for a time. And they are planning right now to thwart President Trump's second term, make sure they wait him out, and they're going to have a hand-selected person for the third term. And I don't say this as a conspiracy theory guy. This is just basic fact. Totally true. They're so clever that if you criticize them, they will leak to people that you work for them. I happen to know. Yeah, I'm getting some of that actually.

29:30 I am. I am. But locally up there in the... No, no, no. On the socials, you know, like, yeah, you're Uncle CIA. We all know you. What were you doing in Amsterdam? Yeah, you went to Moscow. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you should probably make notes of who's doing that. So I immediately think, oh, OK. When I heard that, I'm like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. If you criticize the CIA and you have a voice somewhere, they're going to criticize. They're going to tell, oh, you're part of it. Of course. Yeah, it's a good bit. It's a great bit. I love it. Tucker thinks it's a fabulous idea. Yeah, yeah, I can see that, but then you have to consider, let's reveal a few things that should be known. The CIA likes alcoholics, but they do not adhere to anyone using drugs. No, only booze. They like boozers. They like boozers.

30:29 But they don't and you were notorious in weed. Weed. I was weed not booze. You're a weed guy. No good. You were just you're disqualified immediately. He's no good. In the get go. Yeah. So no you're not. I don't think you are. And I don't see how you could be based on anything. I was a hitman for the CIA at MTV. I was I was out there killing the rock stars. You weren't even the even the handler or anything. So so people who think that are screwy. But it doesn't mean you don't know anything. That's true. Because, you know, Tucker knows a lot.

31:06 More than anybody. More than anybody. So I believe that Tucker's not, you know, he says himself that he always wanted to be in the CIA. Yeah, he interned, his dad worked for a propaganda arm of the agency, which is the Voice. He ran the Voice of America. Actually, he was the head of the broadcast board of governors, which oversees the Voice of America, which is even above the Voice of America. Yeah, and I'm totally convinced he's not in the CIA. No, I'm sure he isn't. Like me, he isn't. Same as Stuart Copeland from the police. He's not in the CIA. Another druggie. But there's other people that we are totally convinced are in the CIA at some level or have something to do with intel at some level. We've seen it, we know it, and I think we're good at this.

31:58 So let's go to Tucker's little finale here where he's, you know, the thing about it, he probably laments that he's not the CIA, and especially since they credit him for being in there, blaming him, you know, because they tried to smear him by saying This is a very funny bit. And the way they did it was by convincing Republican primary voters that Joe Ken, who's the single most effective critic of CIA in the United States, was actually working for CIA. I mean, like, wow! I tip my non-existent hat in deference to the brilliance of that. This is how brilliant they are. You notice from President Trump the arc that he went through on Friday.

32:53 I, you know something's up when David Ignatius at the Washington Post, which we call the Langley Bugle. He's the head of the Coms. Oh, where? When Ignatius comes out on Morning Joe and says, Trump is doing such a really magnificent job here. He's acting like your commander in chief. That should be the red flare that goes up and goes, what the fuck? So, I mean, it's too frustrating to watch. I don't know a single person who doesn't like David Ignatius personally, and that would include me, and he's just such a courtly man. He's like the Murdoch's. You can't dislike him. He's just got elaborate, wonderful manners. He's very nice. But like he is the spokesman for CIA. And you wonder- The Washington Post is the Langley- It's unbelievable. The Langley bugle. Yeah. Do you think they still are the Langley bugle? They must be. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, under Bezos.

33:43 Yeah, well, Bezos got all those CIA contracts for his Amazon sales. There you go. There you go. Yeah. So it's all part of a scheme. Well, can I pick the thread up here and run with the ball? Yes, please. I've hogged enough. Yeah, so I will stick with Tucker for a moment because the other big thing, oh boy, Tucker went tete-a-tete with Ted Cruz. Tete-a-tete with Ted. Before you play that, I will mention that there was, I saw this, but I also saw this guy, he's called Captain Teteville or some black guy. And I think he's like a cop or ex-cop or something and he does analysis of these clips.

34:23 And he did a great takedown of Tucker on this, saying that this whole thing was, Tucker was insincere, this was created just to embarrass Cruz, he asked questions that anyone couldn't answer. This is a very interesting expose of Tucker being an a-hole. Well, what I found interesting that this all was pointing towards Israel. This was all about Israel, Israel, Israel, AIPAC, Israel influence, Israel Mossad, Israel, Israel, Israel, and then Ted Cruz, then this was funny for me personally as as Ted Cruz brings up brings up scripture. Let's get into Iran momentarily but but

35:08 You suggested it was a strange thing that I said a minute ago that when I came into the Senate I resolved that I was going to be the leading defender of Israel and what you didn't ask is why so let me tell you why. No, you said I was obsessed with Israel and you had just told me that like your driving motive to get to the Senate was to defend Israel. I'm like, I don't think I'm the one who's obsessed with Israel! I don't even think about Israel! So Tucker, words matter. And you know that. I said I resolved to be the leading defender of Israel and you said your driving motive, the reason you're in the Senate. You want to be the leading defender of Israel. I would think if I ran for Senate I'd be like, there are people dying of drug ODs on the street. My driving motive is to fight for Texas and America and to fight for jobs and to fight for the Constitution. And you played a very, very careful word game of a lie to you. You're the one who said it, not me. So you still haven't asked why, but I'm going to tell you why.

35:59 Okay, and the reason it's twofold number one as a Christian here. We go growing up in Sunday school I was taught from the Bible. Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those I guess he did He just he that's where he came about you grow up in Sunday school. It's only once a week Well, you're nitpicking Cruz is already on the ropes here. So he's not speaking. Oh, you're right. He's on the ropes. What am I doing? He's on the ropes growing up in Sunday school. I was taught from the Bible and Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. And from my perspective, I want to be on the blessing side of things. Of those who bless the government of Israel? Those who bless Israel is what it says. It doesn't say the government of it, it says the nation of Israel.

36:43 So that's in the Bible. As a Christian, I believe that. Where is that? I can find it to you. I don't have the scripture off the tip of my... You pull out the phone and use the Google. It's in Genesis. So you're quoting a Bible phrase. You don't have context for it. You don't know where in the Bible it is, but that's like your theology? I'm confused. And they go on and on about this, I won't bore you with it. By the way, this is an insincere discussion because he says, where was it, knowing the answer? He knew the answer. He knew, well, the thing is, Yaz is in Genesis 12. I will bless those who bless you. Whoever curses you, I will curse." That's what God says to Abraham. That gets repeated in Numbers and in Isaiah. But really, it doesn't say you have to defend Israel. It doesn't say you have to go fight for Israel. It says, I will bless those who bless you. And then... Well, I didn't want to get into the scripture itself. I just was trying to point out that this is an insincere conversation. Completely. Completely. So that is true.

37:41 And what Ted Cruz grew up on is just nonsense. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, yes, but there's nothing about defending it, you know, or going to war for it. There's nothing at all about that. So that was insincere in his fact and you're right, it was a set-up question from Tucker who also just had Genesis in mind. It's like, bleh, whatever. But then Tucker gets to where he really wants to get is what is a popular a popular talking point that we've discussed on the show many times because it's the Jews! I'm only trying to get to the question of what AIPAC is and I don't think you're being straightforward about it. AIPAC is...

38:17 lobbying on behalf of the interests of a foreign country and they're not registered and you're saying no that's not true you're saying that they don't coordinate with the Israeli government. I coordinate, they talk with them I don't know what they do. But why don't you care? Isn't it meaningful if a foreign government... Hey I talk with Israel all the time. Of course you do. I talk with foreign countries all the time. But the law is and A lot of people have been prosecuted under this law, that if you are lobbying on behalf of foreign government, you must register. That's it. It's really simple. And I don't know why, if I'm working for Malaysia or Qatar or Belgium, and I'm working on behalf of its government... You know, isn't that interesting that he brings up Belgium and Qatar? You know, because Steve Bannon, you just mentioned Brussels. There's so many things that I... There's a lot of... I think the point you're going to make, I'm going to make it for you.

39:07 There's missing pieces of information that probably help us understand the situation better. Yes? But there's also people are talking to each other and they're bringing up the same, the same. There's something. Yeah, there's a, there's a milieu of something that Bannon said to him like, huh? I haven't heard that in a while. And I'll hear it three times this week anyway. So exactly. Yeah. You haven't heard it. And then all of a sudden you're hearing it all the time. I always find that extremely disturbing. working for Malaysia or Qatar or Belgium and I'm working on behalf of its government's interest through a group of Americans who are representing the friendship between those two nations. I have to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act and if I don't I can go to jail and people have gone to jail, including people I know. So I don't understand why we don't just be honest and say they're lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, they're coordinating with the government. You know that that's true? That is not only not true, that is false. They're not coordinating with the Israeli government?

40:06 So, right after this, right after this, the house frow from House Inhabit, you and I have talked about her before. She's big in the right-wing conspiracy circles. So she has to go after Tucker for Tucker going after Israel and AIPAC. And I'm not going to repeat what I keep saying about that. with some spooky, you know, like a cell phone camera moving over a document which is a FARA disclosure document and it makes it look like Tucker got money in person from Qatar.

40:44 And, you know, it's like, oh, look at Tucker. Oh, he got money from Qatar. Oh boy, he didn't disclose that. And then I go and find the document, and it is a FARA disclosure document. which is from a lobbying firm who set up the interview between Tucker and the Prime Minister of Qatar, which of course they disclosed that because they did that. And it says, if you look at the document, it says interview for Tucker Carlson with the Prime Minister of Qatar, and it says in person. So the services were delivered in person, Tucker Got the interview and that was what the lobbying firm did but they make it look like oh Tucker He's in the pocket of the Muslims now. Oh, what is he doing doing against Israel? It was hilarious and then of course in and the timelines are filled filled with this The Jews are drawing us into a war. They're doing it. Trump is stupid You know maggot is manga is splitting up. What are we doing? And right on cue here comes anonymous. Hello my fellow citizens of America

41:47 and others across the globe. This is the Architect, speaking on behalf of Anonymous. 17 days remain until we release everything. But first, there's something we feel the need to bring to light now. It may not be able to wait. This is not a drill. This is not speculation. This is a warning based on extremely reliable intelligence. We have acquired verified information that a major attack is being planned on domestic soil. It will be brutal, it will be visible, and they will be blamed on a foreign faction, one from the Middle East. But that is a lie. The operation is a false flag, orchestrated not by a foreign enemy.

42:31 But by an elite shadow alliance within a nation that poses as our greatest ally. But instead is a hyper-militarized power with deep influence through sexual blackmail in our intelligence. Oh yeah, one of our greatest allies who control our government with sexual blackmail. They're gonna do a false flag, another 9-11 is coming in. So the internet is just filled with this and people yelling at me, oh you think it's about China? Okay, so enter Scott Horton with Tom Woods because I got the same email from our producer who was kind of snide like

43:18 Oh yeah, it will look slightly. John's best friend, Scott Horton. Scott Horton, because you see snideness where I see humor. Oh well, but it wasn't directed towards me so I was happy with all of it. And so I have two clips and then I'm going to get into two series. But first of all, Tom Horton is not wrong about this. He's not wrong, but he's misguided in his conclusion because of his insanity about, you know, it's the same thing that Dave Smith has. You know, Israel, Israel, Israel, doing it, Israel, Israel, they got Epstein files, Israel! Iran can't have a nuke.

42:31 But by an elite shadow alliance within a nation that poses as our greatest ally. But instead is a hyper-militarized power with deep influence through sexual blackmail in our intelligence. Oh yeah, one of our greatest allies who control our government with sexual blackmail. They're gonna do a false flag, another 9-11 is coming in. So the internet is just filled with this and people yelling at me, oh you think it's about China? Okay, so enter Scott Horton with Tom Woods because I got the same email from our producer who was kind of snide like

43:18 Oh yeah, it will look slightly. John's best friend, Scott Horton. Scott Horton, because you see snideness where I see humor. Oh well, but it wasn't directed towards me so I was happy with all of it. And so I have two clips and then I'm going to get into two series. But first of all, Tom Horton is not wrong about this. He's not wrong, but he's misguided in his conclusion because of his insanity about, you know, it's the same thing that Dave Smith has. You know, Israel, Israel, Israel, doing it, Israel, Israel, they got Epstein files, Israel! Iran can't have a nuke.

43:58 They can't have a nuke. Implying and begging the question ridiculously that they were making one and that they were about to have one and that they would have had one if we hadn't done this. Instead, they're just lying. I mean, Donald Trump is conflating the Ayatollah's unwillingness to completely abandon enrichment. to let America take every last one of his centrifuges out of the country and is conflating that with them having a bomb. This is what George W. Bush called shorthanding it. It's a lie. It's a damned lie and Donald Trump knows it's a lie and his own intelligence agencies told him last week they are not making news. And then worse, they were supposed to meet two days ago on Sunday

44:42 And apparently, here are our choices, we don't know for sure. Our choices are either one, Donald Trump in the most dastardly, treacherous, just completely, you know, most gratuitous act of anti-diplomacy and with consequences for decades to come for sure, was lying. and pretending that he was still negotiating with the Iranians all the while he was setting them up for the Israelis to go ahead and get them in decapitation strikes and reassuring them that they didn't need to go to alternative locations and whatever to protect themselves. Don't worry, the attack's not coming. We're still negotiating with Donald Trump. And then Sneek attacked him in a Tojo style fashion.

45:26 I think I said Tom Horton, but I meant Scott Norton. He is correct and Trump was lying and I think I know why and I think I can prove it. But first let's go to the other theory which of course involves Tucker. Or the other alternative is... that Donald Trump was negotiating. This is what Tucker Carlson says. He believes he was told that Trump really was negotiating in good faith and he really had told Netanyahu to wait. And then Netanyahu went ahead and did this anyway, and is now dragging Donald Trump by the hair into the thing. And then Donald Trump is handling that by saying, oh yeah, I meant to do that. This was my plan all along. So you take your choice. I think the

46:07 The first is the most likely, that they're telling the truth now when they say that they had agreed to do this and that they were lying and pretending to negotiate. No, I think they were really negotiating. There's a third option. They were really negotiating and Trump said, I'm negotiating, but he knew exactly what would happen on day 61. And that was based upon his 60 days history knowledge. So Scott Horton is not wrong, but his conclusion is sad. So I have two series, the first is from the China Observer. Now the China Observer is, as far as I can tell, a YouTube channel. It might be run by NTD or Falun Gong for all I know, but they have a lot of interesting little tidbits.

46:46 about the current Iranian-China-Israel situation. According to data from commodity firm Kippler, over 90% of Iran's oil currently go to China. Most of this oil is sent to small independent refineries in Shandong province, known as teapots. In 2022, in order to secure higher profits, Chinese companies began buying large amounts of Iranian oil under sanctions. Iran has very few other buyers besides China. This puts Iran in a weak position when it comes to pricing. In 2024, an official from Iran's Chamber of Commerce called the trade relationship with China a colonial trap. Because China pays for oil in yuan instead of US dollars, Iran is then forced to use that money to buy large amounts of Chinese goods, deepening its economic dependence on China.

47:29 Iran exports around 1.7 million barrels of crude oil per day. If these exports are cut off, China's private refiners would, for the first time in years, have to buy oil at market prices. As the world's largest oil importer, China has been increasing its reserves for three months straight, adding over one million barrels a day. Associate professor of diplomacy Chang-Ting Mo of Changkang University in Taiwan said Iran has long relied on China to buy oil because international sanctions have restricted its trade. So this war could have a major impact on China's oil supply. He also said Russia has wanted to sell more oil to China, but Beijing prefers to diversify its sources. You said something?

48:08 Yeah, Russia is a beneficiary of this whole situation. And they're fine to go along with it. Everybody surrounding Iran is fine going along with the program, whatever the program might be. Well, the program consists of the China-Iran comprehensive cooperation play, which is, and again, I'm sure this is a major anti-China quote-unquote news outlet, but the details I think are good and they check out. On March 27th 2021, China and Iran signed a long-term cooperation framework called the China-Iran Comprehensive Cooperation Plan. According to the agreement, the two countries would work together in finance, infrastructure, health care, defense, and more. China committed to investing 400 billion US dollars in Iran over 25 years and both sides would establish free trade zones.

49:03 In return, Iran would supply China with oil at stable, low prices and allow China deeper access to its banking and telecom sectors. This deal was part of China's Belt and Road Initiative. But four years later, the deal has seen slow progress. While China has continued to import large amounts of Iranian oil, other key areas like infrastructure investment have lagged behind. It wasn't until 2023 that Chinese firms secured a few major contracts, including one for building Iran's largest airport. It's worth noting that on June 9th this year, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with Chinese Ambassador Song Peiwu and brought up the 25-year agreement again. Su Ziyun, director of Taiwan's Institution for National Defense and Security Research, said that China has mainly used a barter system, exchanging engineering projects and goods, including military equipment, for Iranian oil.

49:51 has meant to strengthen diplomatic ties between Beijing and Tehran. But even though this relationship looks strong on the surface, war can change everything. If the Iranian regime collapses, that $400 billion deal would become worthless. So when President Trump says, I've been talking about this for 35 years, about Iran not having nuclear bombs, no, what he's been talking about is about China. He's always been talking about China, the China virus, China this, China's ripping us off. It's always been about China and this is no different because this is, Iran was a key piece for China's Belt and Road Initiative. Diplomacy professor Cheng Hsing-Mo believes that the Chinese Communist Party established its so-called comprehensive partnership with Iran in 2021 to use Iran as a base for expanding influence in the Middle East.

50:36 The goal was to bring the region into China's Belt and Road Initiative and turn it into a front line against the West. But so far, this entire plan appears to have failed. Cheng said that the 2021 agreement was supposed to be a major infrastructure investment plan, 400 billion U.S. dollars over 25 years. But now, less than four years later, the survival of Iran's current regime is already in question. The infrastructure investments China made in Iran are now essentially lost. Similar failures have happened in other Belt and Road projects across the Southeast and Central China. On June 17th, President Trump posted online claiming full control of Iran's airspace and said they had located Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. He demanded Iran's unconditional surrender and warned that patience is wearing thin. Trump and Israel's goal is to wipe out Chinese and Russian influences in the Middle East.

51:23 That way, the US can shift its focus into the Indo-Pacific and counter threats from China. If Iran suffers a serious defeat, China's influence in the region will begin to shrink. The US strategy is clear. Concentrate its efforts on dealing with the Chinese Communist Party." That is indeed the entire focus. And there's another country in there that kind of came and went and the story was a little quiet and Trump met with the guy and you know so basically the Chinese were doing this with Syria as well. At this point, the US is the one steering the situation in the Middle East. He also noted that while the Israel-Iran conflict was unfolding, Xi Jinping was visiting Kazakhstan. At the same time, both Russia and China have lost their geopolitical foothold in the Middle East. They will likely retreat to Central Asia, which will become the next battleground between the two. The latest clashes between Israel and Iran have captured global attention. On social media, many Iranians have shared videos showing that they welcome change in their country.

52:33 In one clip, people laugh out loud as they drive past large portraits of Iranian military officers who had just been killed in airstrikes. Young Iranians have long grown resentful of the country's aging political elite, who rule over them with absolute power. Israel's military not only bombed the headquarters of Iran's army intelligence, but also took out the Ministry of Justice building. One Iranian citizen said, the Justice Ministry was the worst, constantly cracking down on anyone who dared to speak up. They said, if you don't obey, they put you on trial. It's about time they got a taste of being judged by bombs. So I think that all rings pretty true. I agree with that. I want to add a couple of things. Besides the fact that if I had played this clip for you, right about now you'd be complaining about the cadence of the notes. Yes, in fact I was waiting for you to complain and you didn't do it. I was taking it back. I'm only complaining as if I was you.

53:27 Well, thank you for being so much better than me. I like the China thing, by the way. I like this too. I'm not done. I'm waiting for your comments. I'm waiting for more, but I want to mention that if we remember Libya, you could take the same thesis and put it on Libya. Libya, yep. Because if you recall when they went into Libya to rubilize that country, the Chinese were in there. All over the place. All over the place and had these buildings that they abandoned and ran for the hills. Yep. There's a whole bunch of structures still standing, I think, in Libya that were projects, the Chinese have begun a lot of infrastructure stuff too and they just ran for the hills. The Chinese do not want to... No, the Chinese don't, they don't actually want face-to-face confrontation. They'd rather give you fentanyl, they'd rather give you fungus, they'd rather fund protests. That's what the, that's how they, that is, and I'll give it to the Cuomo kid, that is the smokeless war. That is how the Chinese operate and it's, it's not stupid.

54:31 No, it's not stupid but it's... if you can recognize it, it becomes a problem for them. Indeed. But nobody by the way is recognizing this except that woman who can barely speak and you. Well, wait. That's not true. Wait, there's more. I found the Geopolitical Economy Report which is hosted by a guy named Ben Norton. And Ben Norton, he's a lefty. He's a leftist. Norton! Norton! He's a super leftist. He's no friend or fan of Israel or America which makes me like him even more to play his clips.

55:08 And he's part of the gray zone. I mean, you know the gray zone, right? The gray zone outfit. Okay. So the guy is well-versed. This was actually over an hour, this whole YouTube video. I pulled a couple of clips. The ones I think are most important. I cut some stuff up because he's talky. He's talky. But he brings it all together in no agenda fashion and I'm just like, wow, okay. And let's just, so this is the history of how we got here. How we got here and how China fits in. what America and Israel are doing together. And you know we played different versions of this. This is I think the most concise. The US is using Israel as a proxy specifically to redirect blame and literal incoming missiles away from the US and toward its proxy Israel. And this isn't in any way to excuse Israel for the horrific crimes it's

56:01 been very clearly in a plan that was published by several US government officials for the Washington DC based think tank, the Brookings Institution, which is very closely linked to the US government and basically acts as a kind of outsourced arm of the US government. In 2009, these US government officials, these US imperial planners published a strategy paper titled

56:43 Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran. And chapter 5 is titled, Leave it to Bibi, that is Benjamin Netanyahu. So leave it to Netanyahu, allowing or encouraging an Israeli military strike on Iran. In this paper, these US government officials at a US government-backed think tank wrote that the US should encourage Israel to attack Iran And this is what they said quote the United States would encourage and perhaps even assist the Israelis in conducting the strikes themselves in the expectation that both international criticism and Iranian retaliation would be deflected away from the United States and on to Israel Exactly what we're seeing happen exactly and

57:33 Leave it to BB. I think that's kind of funny. They did a little leave it to beaver play on leave it to BB Let's just remind each other about who BB is. This is exactly what the US Empire is doing today I mean they spelled it out so clearly. It's so obvious Trump personally gave Israel the green light He knew about the operation he helped to plan it Trump delivered Israel hundreds of missiles three days before Israel started the war And the US has been giving Israel billions and billions of dollars of weapons and military assistance for decades, but especially since 2023 to carry out these proxy wars on behalf of the US empire. And this is why the former US Secretary of State Alexander Haig famously said, quote, Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk.

58:29 It is located in a critical region for American national security." So in other words, Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier for the US Empire. And by the way, Netanyahu is an American. He was raised and educated in the US. He went to high school and college and got his first job in the US. He had US citizenship twice and he only gave up his US citizenship in order to be Israel's Prime Minister. But he is an American and what he's doing is serving the interests of the US Empire. Exactly. And so when I hear

59:05 Tulsi Gabbard come out and say hey wait a minute my Intel says there's no nukes No, of course. There's no nukes, but this is the lie the president is using for a very old play playbook I might even say well I don't see the president that they keep you and the other guy in Horton say the president's lying about what? The president never said that there for sure are nukes. Okay good point, good point. Trump is very tricky. I think I did hear him say though at some point they were close not far away. You know, he might have slipped on that. Well, it depends on, that's a definitional thing. Close, a year, two years. I'm okay with that. So technically he's not lying, but he's under the guise of they can't have a nuclear bomb. Something very different is going on and it's been going on for a long time. So this brings me to the first goal of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which is to maintain U.S. hegemony in West Asia, also known as the Middle East.

1:00:07 This was clearly spelled out by the Pentagon, the US Department of Defense, back in 1992 in the infamous Wolfowitz Doctrine. This was a plan that was written by the Undersecretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, a notorious warmonger, And in the Wolfowitz doctrine, he stated very clearly that the goal of the US empire was to prevent the rise of any other superpower that could challenge the dominance of the United States in the world. At this time in the 1990s, the Soviet Union had just been overthrown a year before in 1991. The US was the only major power in the world. It was a unipolar world dominated by the US empire.

1:00:49 And they wrote very clearly in this Pentagon document that the quote, goal is to preclude any hostile power from dominating a region critical to our interests, end quote. And they named several regions, among them were the Middle East slash Persian Gulf and also East Asia. And those are the main two areas today that the US military is targeting, especially under Trump. In East Asia, the US is militarizing the region to try to encircle China as part of the new Cold War. And now, of course, the US is using Israel to wage war all across the Middle East, West Asia, to try to recreate the region, overthrowing all of the independent governments.

1:01:34 and propping up pro-US regimes. So Trump's main goal in my mind is China. It's always been China and there's very good Trumpian reasons for this, mainly inflation. We are the biggest oil producer and gas producer by quite a bit over everybody else. And, you know, we've been shipping off the liquefied natural gas over to Europe. There's even talk of the US now taking over the Nord Stream 2, which I find hilarious. You know, this is about oil, oil politics and oil prices because it always is.

1:02:30 Given that the global south and also Russia and China are leading producers of oil and natural gas in the world, so if they were to unite and use a cartel like OPEC to control the price of oil or gas, it could cause significant economic damage. and would lead to very high rates of inflation because when the price of energy goes up, it is an input in basically all other parts of the economy. So when the price of oil and gas goes up, the price of everything else goes up. And this obviously has led to a lot of political instability in the US. So the US is very concerned about the stability of the price of oil and natural gas in global markets. Two more and then I'm done.

1:03:13 And of course this has been staring us in the face since this started and I don't think we bring it up all the time for 17 years we've been talking about this. We didn't bring it up in this latest kerfuffle between Israel and Iran but here it is. So again this makes it very clear why the US and Israel are waging war on Iran because they already succeeded in overthrowing Syria and removing Syria from the resistance axis and Israel has also been waging war in South Lebanon against Hezbollah, the Lebanese resistance group that has its origins in the 1980s in the fight against Israel's illegal occupation of South Lebanon. So Israel weakened Hezbollah and killed its leadership.

1:03:57 Israel has been taking control over Gaza, colonizing Gaza, colonizing the West Bank, which according to international law is occupied Palestinian territory. The US under Trump and also under Obama and Biden were waging war on Ansar Allah in Yemen, weakening them. And of course the US government invaded Iraq two times in the Gulf War and then again in in 2003 in the Iraq war, and now the final target is Iran, which the US and Israel are now attacking. This was famously admitted by Wesley Clark, the former US general and commander of NATO,

1:04:36 Back in 2007, in an interview, he admitted that the US military had made plans to overthrow the governments of seven countries in five years. He said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense's office today. And he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran. And after we got Syria, we had them all. And the very good question in the troll room, why don't they just tell us this is what's going on? Because it does... This is marketing. Trump is marketing. But nuke, nuke, have a nuke. Everyone's afraid of a nuke. It's a nuke. He does not want to tip his hat, so to speak, although I think the Chinese are not stupid. That this is... No, they know what's going on. This is a war.

1:05:28 against the BRICS and the BRICS is the final clip and this really brings it all together and it makes sense. I really believe that President Trump talked to Iran and said, hey, we can do better business, you guys with us guys, don't go into business with the Chinese, don't go into business with the Russians, do business with us. We've already got the Saudis on board, we think. Come on, don't be idiots because I don't want to have to play my other card, which means I activate Bibi. Which brings us to one last point, which I'll make after you play this clip. Iran has good relations with many countries in Africa and Iran has become very close to China and Russia. And in 2023, the BRICS summit was held in South Africa and Iran was invited to become a full member. And of course it accepted this invitation. And as of the 1st of January, 2024, Iran has been a full member of BRICS.

1:04:36 Back in 2007, in an interview, he admitted that the US military had made plans to overthrow the governments of seven countries in five years.

And in 2023, the BRICS summit was held in South Africa and Iran was invited to become a full member. And of course it accepted this invitation. And as of the 1st of January, 2024, Iran has been a full member of BRICS.

1:06:26 along with the original five members, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, as well as Egypt, the UAE, Ethiopia and Indonesia. And Saudi Arabia has been invited to join BRICS, although it has not officially given an answer. It's likely that Riyadh is using that as a bargaining chip with Washington and saying to Washington, well, if you put too much pressure on us, we'll join BRICS. So it's a card they can always play. But getting back to Iran. So Iran is now a full member of BRICS. And when Iran officially joined the Global South-led organization, the Iranian state media outlet Noor News published an article explaining its goals.

1:07:09 It noted that Iran is seeking to quote, lessen the influence of imposed sanctions over its economy, end quote. They also said that BRICS will help to challenge the quote, current unilateral world order, end quote. So they're talking about the US dominated unipolar order creating a more multipolar world. And then finally, this is a very important quote. Iran's state media outlet said that by joining BRICS, this will quote, deepen the current existing relations between Beijing, Moscow and Tehran as the three main architects

1:07:49 of the New World Order." So Iran is saying, we have an alliance with China and Russia to challenge the US empire. So it's obvious why the US empire is so concerned about this and is trying to do everything it can to divide this alliance. The way I see it, President Trump gave them a very easy out and said, look, stop doing business with those guys. You're the linchpin in the middle of the Middle East. We need to have you guys with us. And I think he was genuinely sad that he had to have Bibi go and kick off this missile back and forth because people die. None of it's great. I don't like it either. But honestly, I don't

1:08:34 I'd rather have the United States being the unipolar power in the world than Russia, China. China because they will lock you down. And so President Trump is America first. This is what he was voted in for and it's an ugly business. It's a racket because everybody's making money on this at the same time. But I think he is truly doing what is the best thing for America right now and maybe one day people will see it for what it is instead of running around like a bunch of chickens with your head cut off saying, Israel Israel, we've got the goods on Trump, PPJ, blah blah blah. No. This is to protect, I think, peace in the world long term. Let's have one more theory, which is one we've talked about before, and we'll bring it back, and I saw another guy come out, another Middle Eastern guy come out with it,

1:09:34 which is the fact that this is all theater. People are getting killed, but they're not getting killed at the rate that they could be getting killed. No, everyone's running out of ammo too. They're running out of missiles. This is the idea that Israel, the United States, and Iran are doing back-channeling. They've always been doing that. And the whole idea is to get... why Trump had to kill Soleimani and they killed the head of Hamas. They're taking out everybody except Khomeini. Oh no, because they need him like... who was the... They need a guy. They need somebody. They need the guy to sign the documents just like we did with Japan. But they've got to get rid of all the hardliners. Yes.

1:10:17 And the scheme that just took place like yesterday, which was the one where the Israelis, they said they were going to do something. It hasn't been played up as much as they could have been. They took out another group of army guys by setting up a fake meeting. They sent them all, you know, some sort of text or something. Well, come over here. Don't worry. We got a big meeting. It's important. Stand in this circle. And they blew them all up. But they're all hardliners and they got to get rid of all the hardliners and that's the reason that Trump told Netanyahu not to kill Khomeini. And the people of Iran are cheering.

1:10:53 They're happy. That's what we're told. So young countries can't be unhappy. No, very young and you need Komeini to sign the papers like the Emperor of Japan in World War II. You need someone of authority to say, yep, okay, well I guess we're not going to do that. That's why they didn't kill the Emperor. Yes. And of course... So this whole thing is, the way it's being And it's odd that two boomers that do this show can see, I think we see through most of the bullcrap. You're right, I think China is a key element. A lot of this is bullcrap. Trump's doing the right thing. He's not a liar.

1:11:37 He, but you got the Bannons and the Tuckers and these... Everybody and Dave Smith and Scott Horton everyone's running around Israel owns us they run everything no I don't understand how you can come to that conclusion. Israel's, and by the way, this country is shaped like an aircraft carrier too if you take a look at it. Releasing the Epstein tapes would help a lot. I'll be honest about it. That doesn't help in any way. Which brings me to the bogus Jouffre eclipse which I have. I

1:12:34 and the people who protect them. Sources tell ABC News multiple lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, along with U.S. Capitol Police leaders have received unsolicited pizzas at their homes. pedophilia, child stuff, is that you don't understand what this message is about? No. The delivery is likely aimed at sending the message, we know where you live. It's not a laughing matter. Capitol Police saying these recent pizza deliveries are troubling and yet again bring to light the heightened threat landscape we are living in. So that just goes on. I thought it was hilarious that they're sending pizzas and no one's making the connection at ABC at least.

1:13:17 It's like ABC. So ABC owned by Disney. Hello. Yes. Let's do Virginia Dufresne. OK, so these tapes show up and it's the first place that they come up is that, you know, that this one guy can never remember the awful truth. The name of the pod. I can't remember the name of the podcast, but it's. It's that British guy and he's always got his head cocked like to a... That guy. That guy. That's a great podcast. That is the most conspiratorial thing ever. What is the guy's name? What is his name? He's so full of it. So he's got the tapes. So this is supposedly a Dead Man's Switch series of revelations that are going to come out from Virginia Gouffrey. Gouffrey.

1:14:03 Whatever. And she's dead. I mean, she's dead. She's dead. And this is a dead man. She said it. She says she explains that she's a dead man's dead man's which I dispute the authenticity because of something she said in here. I think these are AI generated. I think they're I like them. And I think they're entertaining and I think it's funny and I think if they keep coming out with these it's going to be great, but I don't believe them. If you're watching this, it means they got me. My dead man switch activated automatically after I missed two scheduled check-ins. I had it set up months ago because I knew this day was coming. I did not die by accident. I was murdered to keep their secrets buried. My name is Virginia Louise Dufresne. I was one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims.

1:14:50 I survived Little St. James, but survival came at a price. I saw too much, knew too much, and now they've silenced me. But it's too late for them. They thought killing me would bury their secrets, but this video is going to a few organizations I trust, ones that have been exposing the truth for decades. You know who you are. It's your job to continue this fight. I was 16 when they reeled me in. I worked at Mar-a-Lago, folding towels, cleaning lockers. My father kept the tennis courts immaculate. We were just working folks trying to scrape by. Trump, he was around, but he was never the threat. The real predator was Gil Lane Maxwell, prim and proper, smiling, promising to teach me massage therapy at the Pink Mansion in Palm Beach.

1:15:44 I had no idea I was being fed into a nightmare machine. Epstein's Island was hell disguised as paradise. You've heard some names linked to him, but those are just the sacrificial pawns. The real players, the ones they've protected at all costs, are still hiding in plain sight. I'll name two now. Now, who else got these tapes? So-called tapes. Well, that's the question I have because I know that this awful truth show or whatever it's called, I like that name, I mean, it's not the awful truth, it should be. She says she sent it out to these people, I don't know. There hasn't been any follow-up on this, it hasn't been covered much. No one's even come out and called it a fraud or AI or whatever. It's just this kind of just ambling along on the social networks and I find the whole thing peculiar. What is the name of this?

1:16:44 podcast with that guy. Somebody in the... you know for a fact that trolls... I've been waiting for them to tell me, but oh, the real people's voice, I think it is? Does that make sense? It could be. I think it's the real people's voice. Anyway, here's the next one. I'll name two now. The first, a former US president, Barack Obama. Publicly, he's revered. Privately, he was one of the worst. He wasn't there for the girls, he was there for the island boys. Young boys, trafficked and groomed. I saw him more times than I can count, always without his Secret Service detail, sometimes with his Hollywood friends George Clooney and Tom Hanks. I still have nightmares about them, arrogant and drunk on power, slinking into the cabanas with kids barely out of childhood. The second, Bill Gates, the billionaire philanthropist, loved by the media.

1:17:33 Hailed as a savior. We called him the benefactor and we used to dread seeing him naked, but he didn't come to party He came to experiment genetic experiments human experiments I saw him inject a young girl with something they said was a genetic enhancement She was younger than me strapped to a table terrified treated like a lab rat while they muttered about seeding the future of the species These men think they are gods playing with life like it was theirs to own. I I'm telling you now, Epstein isn't dead. They staged his death because he was too valuable. He held blackmail on some of the most powerful people on earth. Files, videos, confessions. They couldn't risk him talking, but they also couldn't risk him gone, so they hid him.

1:18:20 Stashed him under the protection of the same elite who once paid him to supply them with flesh And they thought killing me would stop this from coming out They were wrong and there is so much more to come hidden servers encrypted drives witness testimonies It's all gonna hit the light. This video is just the first detonation. The data drops are timed and automatic and They are going to people who can make a difference and nobody can stop it now. Not even the law enforcement agencies in the US and UK, the same ones that buried the evidence I handed them, can stop this truth from getting out.

1:18:56 If you're watching this, you are the resistance. Don't let my death be just another headline. Burn their lives to the ground. Make the world see the monsters behind the masks. And to any survivors out there, don't give up. We're in this together. They can't kill us all. Make them pay. Well, so these videos are, I guess, just audio over a still frame. Yep. And when you say data drops and detonate, I'm like, no, that it sounds very anonymous type AI work to me. Not that I don't want to believe it. Not that I don't want to believe it. I mean, no, it's, let's look at it as entertainment, but the, it's the Gates stuff that triggered me.

1:19:40 It's her comment. I've known Bill for 40 years. If I saw him, I haven't seen him for a decade or more, but if I saw him, we know each other. He liked mom types. Sorry? He liked mothers. He didn't like young girls. No, no. Well, he did like young girls. That's the key. I can tell you this. Young petite blondes. When she said he didn't come for the girls, There's no way. I thought that's what she said about Barack Obama. No, she said about Gates too. She said he didn't come for the girls. Right, actually both of them. She said that about Barack because he came for the boys, but Bill didn't come for the girls also. He came to inject people with genetic material or something for the future. This is bull crap. Well, if anything, Bill Gates is notorious

1:20:38 for chasing women. I mean, I've told the stories before about Pick Me Bill, the t-shirts. And the whole thing, it's just like, no, he's not going to be walking around naked and then injecting girls with the genetic material. This makes no sense. I want it to make sense, John. I want it to be true. This is so good. It's so juicy. Well, hopefully she'll have more material that we can mock, but Or she, it, whatever this thing is. This is the first data dump, the first detonation. There's much more alliteration to come. Yeah, it's going to come out in time because it takes that long to get the voice right. Maybe she's not dead.

1:21:24 That thought crossed my mind. Well, that's always possible too. Whatever the case is, this is a smoke screen for us. I mean, there is, they could do something, they could help us out here, the government, with the, I don't know, 10,000 hours of tapes? Is that what the number they threw at us? Let's put it this way. This is better than what the government's given us so far. This is great. This is dynamite material. Oh, man. If you haven't heard it, you know you have. That's good. Let me just play two quick clips here because the Paris Air Show is on, which is not really in Paris. It's in Le Bourget. I've been to this air show. I found it extremely boring. There's a bunch of guys in uniforms walking around, a bunch of guys in suits, and it's all about war stuff. And CNBC caught up with the COO of Lockheed Martin

1:22:19 And I would say that Mark Rutte is doing his job very well. Hi, welcome back to Paris and the Paris Air Show. I'm Philipp Eau Live with the COO of Lockheed Martin, Frank St. John. Thank you for joining us. Lots to discuss because defense is the topic that is happening right now. And a lot of people are saying defense spending, are we in the beginning stages here, given everything we're seeing? Ukraine, the Middle East, or are we sort of in those middle innings? Where would you say we are? Hey, Phil, good to see you again. And I would say we are in probably the beginning of a three to five year surge in defense spending, especially here in Europe.

1:22:56 The first couple of years there was a lot of dialogue and understanding the issue and understanding the demand for deterrence capability. Now we're starting to see those budgets come into play in the European countries as well as some increases back in the US domestically. So I think for the next three to five years budgets are going to be pretty substantial. Business is up, everything's groovy, we're just in the first inning of the game. This is great. Sounds like and then he asked him about the Golden Dome Back in the US a lot of people have heard the president talk about the Golden Dome missile defense system on paper Makes sense, but you know there are more than a few cynics out there saying now wait a second huge country like the United States could Golden Dome actually work give me your perspective in terms of

1:23:42 Not only can it work, you obviously believe in that, but how quickly could we see a system implemented? Well, as the world's leader in integrated air and missile defense, Lockheed Martin is really proud to be part of bringing President Trump's vision to pass. Yeah! And there are a lot of existing capabilities, be it space-based sensing, command and control, surface-based sensing, and effectors that have been proven in conflict over the last several years. that are already in existence. The real challenge is scaling that up in quantity and then creating the integration of those separate pieces. And so we definitely think something can be fielded on a rapid pace. When you say rapid, I know the time frame of three to four years has been thrown out there. Is that realistic? Oh yeah. No problem. It's very realistic to have a basic capability on the field within a couple of years.

1:24:30 and then in parallel be developing the more advanced threat deterrence things like space-based interceptors and the like. How much do the drone threats that are out there now change? Oh, well wait for it. Directed energy weapons, it's not true, they don't exist, no one uses them, conspiracy theory. Well, it's interesting because the drone threats are If they're large we're gonna be seeing them handled by the kind of systems We're seeing operating in the Middle East today the smaller drone threats were actively working on laser weapon systems High-powered microwaves ways to deal with those smaller drone threats down kind of in a lower layer. Oh what a bonanza? What a bonanza so so in short to summarize the first hour of the show I

1:25:13 There's not gonna be a nuclear war. You know, when you see on Instagram, someone, oh, Iranian state media released a video of a guy stroking a bomb that had a big nuclear symbol on it. It's not gonna happen. Just look at the floor, the spinning will stop. It's all gonna be okay. For now. For now. For now. For now. Oh, yes. Now, what won't be okay is big pharma. Big pharma under a lot of pressure right now as RFK Jr. is definitely talking about restricting advertising of pharma products on television.

1:26:11 And even CNN had an article like, this will hurt news coverage. This will hurt news coverage because that's all of our adverts. They're just coming out and saying it now, which is the funniest thing. Then the way he's going to do it, this is according to Bloomberg. So before the loosening of advertising regulations by the FDA in 1997, US pharma companies had to list all possible side effects for a medication if they wanted to mention which condition the drug was being advertised was intended to treat. Reading out the long list of side effects took too long and it drove up the cost for airtime too high, meant there wasn't as much broadcast advertising as there is today.

1:26:57 The FDA changed this and allowed ads to disclose fewer side effects like, you know, death, and also allowed companies to direct customers to talk to their doctor, call a phone number, or visit a website to get more information. So, rolling that back by itself will first of all be a bonanza for the for the television, particularly television news. Yeah, because the 30 second ads have to go to 60 seconds to get in all the bad stuff. Exactly. Exactly. And this ACIP that that everyone's making such a big fuss about the advisory panel on on biologics. And of course, that's really vaccines. So RFK Jr. discussed

1:27:50 Some of the issues you remember that I think was this Celine Gounder But CBS doctor said well This was just like they just dated something wrong on one of their disclosure forms and we went looked at the disclosure form and no The report the report was much more damning. She was misleading the audience. Well, she was lying. I But you look at the report, it's like, well, 40% didn't even sign the disclosure form, didn't hand it in, they didn't list all the disclosures. And here's RFK Jr. talking about one particular doctor, Dr. Paul Offit. So practically, what do you think will be the outcomes of pregnant women not being able to get vaccinated against- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's the wrong clip. Here it is, this is it. Well, you know, there's change, Martha, it's been a long time coming.

1:28:38 In 2002, sorry about the audio, but this is just what I got. The Government Oversight Committee held hearings about ACE that lasted almost a year and they issued a scathing report about the institutionalized conflicts of interest and corruption. One of the examples they gave was that four out of the five members who voted to recommend the rotavirus vaccine to the schedule had a direct financial interest in that vaccine. One of those individuals voted to add it to the schedule and then he subsequently sold his vaccine. He owned and developed this guy called Dr. Paul Offit.

1:29:24 sold his patent on the vaccine for $186 million. So he said he won the lottery because of his vote. That panel found that 97% of the people on the committee had conflicts of interest. So Dr. Paul Offit, 186 million dollars, nice little payday for voting for a vaccine that you then sold the patent to. And here's Dr. Paul Offit now about this non, this taking the COVID vaccine of which he was a huge beneficiary of approving it, what he's saying about this no longer being recommended. So practically what do you think will be the outcomes of pregnant women not being able to get vaccinated against COVID?

1:30:11 What you'd like to see is you would like to see what is inevitable happening, which is that a pregnant person gets COVID, suffers severely or dies. And then there's a lawsuit against the federal government saying that I couldn't get this, I couldn't afford the vaccine and I couldn't pay for it and my insurance company wouldn't pay for it. And my doctor was scared to give it. it. And now, you know, I've suffered or in the case of the family, this person has died and they sue the federal government for what should be an obviously winnable lawsuit, which is that every other country considers this to be a high risk condition. We don't. You made it much more difficult for me to get this vaccine.

1:30:50 and I'm going to sue you for it. So you can't sue the manufacturers of vaccines when you are injured by their product, but this doctor in the pharmaceutical industry says, well, you should be able to sue the government for telling you not to take it. What an upside down world these people live in. And a pregnant person, person, pregnant person should die and then they can have a lawsuit. That's what I want. I want someone to die. That's what he said. Yeah. It's literally what he said. Yeah. Horrible man. He is a horrible man. What do you have on Naomi Wolf? She's my, I love my Naomi Wolf. Tell me what you got on Naomi Wolf. I, this is an indictment. She had an EMF guy on who was just a... EMF? EMF? Like, what is an EMF guy? Oh, not, uh, EMF... IMF. IMF. No, no, no. EMP.

1:31:52 No, make up your mind I'm trying to get it's the electron Electromagnetic field EMF. Oh EMF so like Wi-Fi signals and stuff. Yeah Wi-Fi signals of signals from your Satellite dish. Oh, yeah. Okay. You got it. Okay, so EMF she's got an EMF guy on who's selling some product There's something well, let me guess a bracelet a bracelet that little similar. Yeah, okay, so she is This when I heard this this is just a clip. This is just a condemnation clip We play these once in a while I dig them up you dig them up We both do it and it's a clip showing that the person that we're listening to and you have an admiration for is an idiot Yes, and that's fine. I can still admire her whether she's yeah So and so this is a clip that proves she's an idiot. She is has this guy in about EMF and

1:32:46 And he's talking about, you know, this what you can and can't do to minimize. Like I have I'm on board with this idea of minimizing our availability to get blasted by all these radio waves. And that's why I have the home networking thing as opposed to Wi-Fi. I know I'm not I'm not I'm on board with you on that for sure. Yeah, and I took a Wi-Fi router, not a router but a repeater that was in my bedroom. Oh bad, we have no Wi-Fi. Oh yeah, no, that's been gone for years, but I noticed my sleep improved. Sure. So there's something to it.

1:33:27 But not this. Now this is the, this is that she's an idiot clip about her and her concerns about the radio frequency problems. The EMFs, wow. So there are other EMF product companies out there I know because I spent $400 on a little kind of pendant that's supposed to protect you from EMFs. And my husband was like, are you insane? Like this is voodoo, you know, how do you know this is going to work? And I have no evidence that it worked, but, um, $400. She has a pendant she wears that she spent $400 for. Wow, exit strategy, bro. We are doing the... we gotta be selling pendants. And you know what we have? We got med beds. That's what we have. We got med beds for y'all. Don't worry. We're gonna fix all that ails you with a med bed. So I had to get that clip just to say, hey, okay.

1:34:26 Poor Naomi. Yeah, that's kind of bad. Yeah, she's very and and throughout this Discussion she had a lot of oh wows and oh my god. Oh my god, because she didn't know anything. She's so science illiterate that she was just clueless, this guy's just bulldozing her and it was just a pathetic, pathetic presentation. Well, let's just stay on that and preventing yourself from death from all kinds of horrible things. This is CBS.

1:35:03 And this is a breakthrough. We have a breakthrough. Now to that breakthrough in the battle against AIDS. Decades after an AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence, the FDA today approved the first drug that is almost totally effective in preventing the disease. It is Lenacapivir. To show you just how far we've come, the CDC reported the first cases in 1981. The next year, the disease got a name, acquired immune deficiency syndrome. At high risk were gay men and intravenous drug users. It would be four years, 1985, before President Reagan first mentioned AIDS. That same year, actor Rock Hudson announced he had it. In 1987, the FDA approved the first AIDS treatment, AZT. Yeah, that was a good one, Fauci.

1:35:52 In 1991, Magic Johnson of the LA Lakers announced he was HIV positive. In 1992, AIDS became the number one cause of death for American men ages 25 to 44. After treatment of AZT. In 1997, highly active antiretroviral therapy increased HIV life expectancy by 15 years. In 2021, the FDA approved the first long-acting shot used for HIV treatment. Since 1981, more than 700,000 people in this country have died of AIDS. So what is this wonder drug? Tell us more about it. And Dr. John LaPook joins us now. John, people using the word breakthrough for this, does it warrant that? This is huge. I remember my first patient with HIV AIDS, March of 1981, first bed on the left. It was the first bed on the left. By the way, this is an ad, just so you know. This is a marketing exercise with a very specific reason. He died. You think this is a native ad? You think they're paid for?

1:36:52 for the time. Yeah, well it's not necessary to sell the product but they need something else. The product is new and you'll hear it. But on the left, he died and so did every single patient with HIV I saw for years. Then we had these new drugs that were effective and the concept of taking a pill every day to prevent HIV AIDS. The problem was people weren't compliant. They weren't taking it. It was hard to get it to people and there was a stigma associated with taking it. By the way, all bull crap. PrEP has been nothing but advertised to death on television and people didn't comply. Let me see, you don't want to die because of what you've been told, so you have to take a pill. I think the pill is even once a week. And that was the problem. The problem was people did, they wanted to die, they didn't take the pill. It was hard to get bull crap.

1:37:42 Bull crap! It was, it was, it's on the insurance schedule, everything. This is not true. The problem was people weren't compliant. They weren't taking it. It was hard to get it to people and there was a stigma associated with taking it. Now you have a stigma of taking a pill at home, really. An injection twice a year that's more than 99.9% effective at preventing. preventing HIV AIDS in people at high risk. What are the obstacles that remain here, John? We're hearing the cost is super high. I spoke to a spokeswoman today from Gilead. She said it's going to be about $28,000 a year at list price. But they're making all sorts of efforts, she said, to make it... I like that. At list price. Best price. Best price. $28,000. Best price. Best price. A year at list price.

1:38:24 But they're making all sorts of efforts, she said, to make it more widely available to everyone. But the problem, of course, is in the United States, we have decreased support from federal programs both inside the United States and abroad for HIV prevention. So the question remains, are we going to be able to have access and use and instructions for people who need it? My goodness, isn't there a $1 solution, which I was told as a kid? Wear a condom? Wasn't that the $1 solution to this problem? Not even that dollar, is it? No, I think they're more probably. The ones I need. That was good. Your timing was good. It was a good line. Thanks, I appreciate it. You must have... No, I didn't write it down. That came out on the fly. No, it's funny because I know you couldn't have. On the fly. So, my goodness, my goodness. It's like, no.

1:39:22 One day they should really publish. I have so many books on it, because I lost a lot of friends. People I knew, they all died of AIDS after AZT treatment. They went into the hospital and that was it. Oh, I tested positive. It was like COVID. It was the same people. Burks and Fauci. Oh, I tested positive. I'm going to the hospital. Didn't come out. Oh, I tested positive for COVID. Went in the hospital. Didn't come out. These ghouls, these ghouls, these people. And now, oh, we need government money for this. For this, oh, it's only a shot. presentation, I'll call it, was really just to get you to associate that with the pregnant woman that can't get the shot because she can't afford it or whatever. Oh, you know, we got a boots on the ground from one of our producers. Let me read this to you. From the douchebag mailman. My wife is five months pregnant. She's 30, I'm 35. We've been trying to get pregnant for six years with no success, which I attributed to vaccines I receive while in the Air Force.

1:40:28 My wife has been adamant since day one of her pregnancy, so I guess it worked, that she doesn't want hospitals involved at all but started all of her appointments through a local women's clinic because of our insurance. After much research on vaccines and the vitamin K shot, we both agreed we will leave our baby's health to God and respond as responsible parents, but we did not want to take the chance with any vax. So I had to test my doctor without letting her know our position. I said to my doctor, we don't have an opinion yet, but this is our first baby, so we don't know what we don't know and we'd love to know your opinions about vaccines. She starts explaining how privileged she is to be in the medical field so she doesn't even have to research the vaccines that she feels are bad for people like us because of all the misinformation out there.

1:41:14 She explains how we as a country are going back in time because of anti-vaxxers and how many cases of measles and polio have already been reported. Really? Polio? Five minutes of doom and gloom. Obviously I'm nodding along like I'm totally eating her BS, but I can see my wife about to blow up. So even though I knew we would never see this doctor again, I wanted to see how deep the hole goes. I said, what brought this conversation up as a commercial for the COVID vaccine and how safe it is for pregnant women? So we wanted to get it, but we want to get your input before we do. She turns to my wife and says, if we have a COVID outbreak, the first people who are going to die is the pregnant woman.

1:41:52 I recommend you both get the vaccine to protect yourselves and your baby. You could see as she walked out how proud of herself she was for convincing us that there are zero reasons to question a vaccine. We have an appointment with the midwife this week. We'll be having at home water births. Screw the experts. In the morning to you both. Good job. Good job. Excellent report. Excellent report. All that was missing was a recording. Yeah. Yeah. Come on people, wear a wire. Do better. Do a... yes, do better. Wear a wire. Get a good cell phone program and just leave the phone on the record. Because the cell phones record very well. Yeah, well the iPhone has a built-in recorder you can just use that. Yep, just put that on and record the conversation. Real easy.

1:42:43 What else you got, John? We got a few minutes before we take a break here. I got some TikTok stuff. I got a crazy, I got the Hitman stories. You've got, how much time do we have? I also have the long Aisha, the black chick on PBNPR. Oh, let's do Aisha. That'll fit nicely. I think that time. Okay, well this is long. This is a long, this is a, but they're short, luckily. It's long, but they're short. I'm confused. Long, but they're short. This is about a thing that they're trying to do. This is... What are the two main problems in the country right now? Have you had two concerns? Me personally? No, in general. Everybody. Everybody has these two. There's only two main concerns. The real big problems. Not Trump. Inflation? No. Well, then I'm lost. That was my big one. Housing's number one. Housing. Cost of housing. Okay, yeah.

1:41:52 I recommend you both get the vaccine to protect yourselves and your baby.

That was my big one. Housing's number one. Housing. Cost of housing. Okay, yeah.

1:43:43 Climate change. I'm sorry, I should have known better. How can I be so stupid? Climate change. Why isn't that number one? No, housing is number one because it's not number one in this presentation because they're talking about... Something called the Green Social Housing and that's not the clip. The clip we're listening to is Ayesha's big story number one. We go beyond the news to bring you one big story. On this show, you know, we often talk a lot about the problems facing our country and our world.

1:44:19 But today we have a story about a solution. It addresses two of the biggest problems affecting people across the country, housing and climate change. Wow, they played that horn on NPR? I'm baffled. Amazing. So now we got two. By the way, the troll room has different priorities, like one, drugs, two, how to get them. Yeah, okay. I can see that. It's more likely to be the jail consensus as opposed to housing and climate change. You play two. To tell us more, we have NPR's Climate Solutions Correspondent, Julia Simon. I want this job! Climate Solutions Correspondent. Not the Climate Correspondent, not the Weather Correspondent. Climate Solutions Correspondent. To tell us more, we have NPR's Climate Solutions Correspondent, Julia Simon. Hello, Aisha. Today, I want to take you to a place that's working to combat climate change

1:45:19 through their housing. That place is Vienna. So, so Vienna, Austria, you're not about like Vienna, Virginia. You know where I get my scripts from. Okay. Okay. Julia, like how did you find yourself reporting on climate and housing in Vienna? And it seems like you're very good at, wait a minute. Did they put this, this Viennese waltz underneath the music or did you do that? No, I didn't do out I cut out most of it because they actually play that half of the blue day How did you find yourself reporting on climate and housing in Vienna and it seems like you're very good at getting these good gigs

1:46:00 Oh my goodness, you are right. And like many great adventures, this one started at a happy hour, a happy hour for climate researchers. And these climate researchers, they kept repeating one word over and over, Vienna, Vienna, Vienna. And I was like, what is the deal with Vienna? I had to find out. A few months ago, my colleague Ryan Kelman and I traveled to the Austrian capital. My hat just flew off because it's very windy. We were in this big, big grassy park with playgrounds full of kids. There's a bunch of apartment buildings around this park, but one that stands out. It's a modern building. It's lots of wood, lots of windows. On one of the top floors, I see a guy in a beanie waving.

1:46:47 That's him waving to us. And we finally catch up to him. How are you? I'm fine, and you? Great! This is Sebastian. Schublach, if you need the full name. Schublach works at a think tank. He's lived in this modern building for about six years with his wife and two young daughters. He loves talking about his apartment building, so he takes us on a tour. Should we go upstairs? Yes, yes, let's do it. It's six floors plus a basement, 34 apartments, lots of shared amenities. Like a library, sunlit library, a rooftop garden. Did she mention what think tank this guy works for? Is he working in some kind of climate solutions think tank? No, she never does. Wow. And by the way, these clips were on the three, I think. This presentation must have been 45 minutes. Well, we had to make up for the cost of it to send these nut jobs to Vienna to go, hi, hey, hi, hi.

1:47:47 That's pretty much. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Then they're OK. We're going to three. Here we go. And Aisha, there are a lot of climate friendly aspects, things that help the building reduce planet heating pollution. The plants on the roof, they help keep the building cool in the summer. So it uses less energy. There are solar panels. They're on the rooftop. Oh, just over there. There are cool window shades on the outside of the apartment that help keep out the sunlight and the heat in summer. Schublach uses a switch to put them up and down. Do you mind showing us? A switch! A switch!

1:46:47 That's him waving to us. And we finally catch up to him. How are you? I'm fine, and you? Great! This is Sebastian. Schublach, if you need the full name. Schublach works at a think tank. He's lived in this modern building for about six years with his wife and two young daughters. He loves talking about his apartment building, so he takes us on a tour. Should we go upstairs? Yes, yes, let's do it. It's six floors plus a basement, 34 apartments, lots of shared amenities. Like a library, sunlit library, a rooftop garden. Did she mention what think tank this guy works for? Is he working in some kind of climate solutions think tank? No, she never does. Wow. And by the way, these clips were on the three, I think. This presentation must have been 45 minutes. Well, we had to make up for the cost of it to send these nut jobs to Vienna to go, hi, hey, hi, hi.

1:47:47 That's pretty much. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Then they're OK. We're going to three. Here we go. And Aisha, there are a lot of climate friendly aspects, things that help the building reduce planet heating pollution. The plants on the roof, they help keep the building cool in the summer. So it uses less energy. There are solar panels. They're on the rooftop. Oh, just over there. There are cool window shades on the outside of the apartment that help keep out the sunlight and the heat in summer. Schublach uses a switch to put them up and down. Do you mind showing us? A switch! A switch!

1:48:26 This all sounds really nice, but I mean he must be paying a lot for this. A lot for this! For the plants on the roof? So this is an electric switch to move to close the blinds basically. How is that climate friendly? It doesn't sound climate friendly to me. No! Yeah, that's using electricity! Should be charging a Tesla with it! Oh, I'm sorry we don't buy Teslas anymore. Wow. So we go on to clip four, which is, you know, Aisha reading her script and she says, how much does it cost? And so they tell, oh, it's not that bad. And I go on. Well, for a four bedroom utilities included, plus the shared space, he pays about seventeen hundred US dollars a month, which is not cheap, cheap, but it is definitely affordable.

1:49:15 Oh God, you don't want to know what people are paying in America. And he said the whole reason we came to Vienna is because this climate-friendly apartment, it's not some fancy private apartment. It's actually subsidized by Vienna's city government. It's something called social housing. Oh, dude. Okay. So now I know what to tell my daughter. Can I just take an interrupt before you get to your video? Yeah, please. I only have two clips left. Because Christina and Kevin, they want to start a family and they're looking for an apartment with two, be great if it had three bedrooms, they'd settle for two. And they can't find it because they don't qualify for social housing or climate-friendly social subsidized housing. And because of the asylum seekers who get all the housing, it's impossible to find anything.

1:50:16 And they're really having a tough time. And now I'm like, you need to go to a climate social subsidized housing, I gotta tell her. By the way, if anyone knows anything in Rotterdam, even outside of Rotterdam, please email me adammccurry.com. They're desperate. So there you go. My commercial is done. That was good. Yeah. Okay, four. No, five. Isn't it five? Five. We're on five. Okay. And so social housing, is that public housing? Like what exactly is that? Social housing, it's kind of like public housing. It's the government playing a role. And look, we're in this moment when the Trump administration is posing big cuts to public housing, cutting funding to reduce climate pollution. You know what I think now is a bad time.

1:50:58 to learn about climate friendly housing in Vienna, but in places like Chicago and Denver, government officials think now is actually a great time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a great time. Because of Trump. Trump is... So this goes on and on and on and on and on and they come up with this term green social housing or something. It's like government housing. No, it's government housing. Not like. It is government housing. So they bring this up and the last clip is the one that says green social housing.

1:51:34 which is government housing, and about what's going on. Chicago is implementing this, and we have to think back historically. Chicago is always the key. Chicago is the one that built the tenements that they had to tear down one after the other because it was ridden with gangs. Chicago's always doing this stuff, and they're always failing over and over and over again, and here they are again because now there's a green component to the argument. So we're going to have these crap apartments built in Chicago for whatever reason, if they can get enough money from the stupid taxpayers. Here we go. So how much progress has Chicago made? They expect the first groundbreaking for this new green social housing next year.

1:50:58 to learn about climate friendly housing in Vienna, but in places like Chicago and Denver, government officials think now is actually a great time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a great time.

They expect the first groundbreaking for this new green social housing next year.

1:52:19 I mean, we just passed this ordinance, so we have some work to do to implement and get this off the ground. But Aisha, it isn't just local politicians getting inspired by Vienna. I am Tina Smith and I am United States Senator from Minnesota. Senator Smith went to Vienna a few years ago. She was on holiday, but she couldn't help herself from researching the housing. I'm constantly thinking about this because I'm always trying to figure out how cities are dealing with the housing crunch, which is such a huge issue in America. When Senator Smith got back to Washington, she got together with her colleague in Congress New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Last fall, they introduced something called the Homes Act. It would establish a new housing authority to make affordable housing and provide money for climate upgrades. The upfront money to be able to make the kind of energy improvements that are so important to lower costs for people in the long term and also deal with climate pollution. The bill hasn't gone anywhere yet. Climate pollution. Climate pollution.

1:53:20 There is...oh man. And they said the bill's going nowhere because it's going nowhere and there's no such thing as climate pollution. There is a new report. Studies suggest climate disasters hit the brain before babies are even born. Quote, quote, what we are seeing is compelling evidence that the climate crisis is not just an environmental emergency, it is potentially a neurological one. Yes, your baby, your baby is dying from climate, your unborn child is dying from climate change. Suggests a new report. Peer reviewed by PLOS One. Yes, yes. And then let me ask you,

1:54:08 Didn't weren't we way past the 1.5 degrees that everyone? Are you sure are you sure we're past that I'm pretty sure we've I mean I can recall that we'd all we're already as cold it and ever around here, but I mean The weather's not climate, we know that. Well, let's listen. The world is heating up and faster than predicted. That's the finding of a new study. Humans are releasing so much greenhouse gas that within three years planet Earth will likely be unable to avoid 1.5 degrees Celsius of long-term warming since pre-industrial times.

1:54:46 The 1.5 degree goal established by the 2015 Paris Agreement has been a cornerstone of international efforts to curb climate change. At 1.5 or 2 degrees, we now expect higher risks to ecosystems, to poor populations, for tipping points to happen. This is my favorite. For tipping points to happen. is 1.5 isn't that the tipping point that was the tipping point but now he said that is 1.5 or 2 yeah for tipping points to happen populations to uh for tipping points to happen uh and for extreme events to happen uh so we expect them to to happen uh

1:55:28 at lower levels of warming compared to the evidence and the scientific knowledge we had at the time of the Paris Agreement. Ah, see, the Paris Agreement was wrong! We have new evidence! Researchers say humans can release only 130 billion more metric tons of CO2 before the 1.5 limit becomes inevitable. Oh no! And we're on track to reach that limit by early 2028. Within three years we will have emitted... Coincidentally, isn't that an election year? 2028? Wouldn't that be... Yeah. I'm just saying. And we're on track to reach that limit by early 2028. Within three years...

1:56:10 we will have emitted the remaining carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5 degrees with at least a 50% chance. So that means if we emit more, there is only lower chances than 1 in 2 that warming will be kept to 1.5 degrees. Scientists say crossing that limit would mean worse heat waves, bigger storms, and small island nations engulfed by rising sea levels. Lower chances than 1 in 2 that warming will be kept to 1.5 degrees. Scientists say crossing that limit would mean worse heat waves, bigger storms and small island nations engulfed by rising sea levels. We're being engulfed by rising sea levels! Oh man! And so much money in these climate solutions. So much money and we are not getting any of it. Yeah.

1:57:13 But what have we learned? We've learned in this show, so far we've learned about carbon budget, our carbon budget. Yeah, and climate pollution. Climate pollution and the multipolar world. So look out for those terms everybody and avoid them like the plague. And with that I want to thank you for your courage, St. Anthony. Talk, talk, TikTok. No, stop, stop. What happened? I'm out of control. You're out of control? I am. With that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the climate solutions correspondence. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C.

1:57:56 Yeah, well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning our ship is sea-boots on the ground, feeding the air subs in the water, and all the games of knights out there. Good morning to the trolls in the troll room, we're trying to count the trolls, seems like we have a problem. I can't get the accurate troll count. Come on, Cotton Gin, what's going on? It was probably somewhere around a little under 1800, I'm waiting for to see if it shows up. No, I don't know. Got a lot of trolls, not as much as we should have, but a lot of trolls are tuning in and they're doing that at trollroom.io. By the way, on the quad screen right now, I forgot to mention, President Trump has said two more weeks before I make a decision. Two more weeks. That takes that long for the last carrier group to get in place. Yeah. Two more weeks. 1943. There we go. 1943. Oh.

1:58:51 That's up a little bit. Well, you know why? Bombs. Iran. Oh, see those guys are shitting for the Jews again. Where's our Jew money? We got like a hundred bucks last time. Where's our Jew? We're the JIP. How come we don't have Tucker Cattar money? Come on people, step it up a little bit. This is getting annoying. We don't get climate money. None of that money. And I just love people think that we shill for that. It's like, okay, well, yeah, it's not a profitable shilling business we're in then. So the trolls, they're at trollroom.io and we got a lot of, we've got more trolls than regularly listening in. That's great. You can also get into that troll room. You can actually troll around, do stuff. They've been pretty funny today. A lot of like, oh, the boomers, oh, it's a boomer, oh, it's a boomer, boomer, boomer. You know what?

1:59:43 Although I believe I'm boomer adjacent, in this case I will step over the line and say you should be happy you've got boomers who are here to tell you out of experience and long lifetime what is bull crap. Yeah, yeah, yeah, seriously. I don't get it. Yeah, well, that's just what the kids do these days. You know how it is. What do we say about our parents? Oh man, we didn't have a good term. We didn't say, hey, hey, silent generation. What did we say? We had nothing to say. We didn't have a cool term for them. For our parents? Yeah, well, my parents were born just before the Second World War, so what did it make them? Boomers?

2:00:25 No, the boomers were born in 46 and up. Okay, so what were my parents then? They were either silent generation or the greatest generation, one of the two. Well, see that doesn't work. Hey, hey, shut up you greatest generation people. See, it doesn't work. Boomers, that sounds better. Boomers, boomers. We got gypped on that too. The way this program works is we always ask for Muslim and Jew money, never works. We try to get climate money, never works. So instead we decide, you know what, we don't run Big Pharma ads because they take up the whole show with all their disclaimers.

2:01:02 about how you're going to die from their product. So instead we said if you get any value out of this program, this podcast that we do twice a week, we've been doing over 17 years, just send some value back to us from time to time whenever it hits you. You know like, oh that was valuable to me. What was that worth to me? Well let me look at my wallet. It's different for everybody and that's what I love about the system. If everybody supported us, even with a couple of bucks, it would be much better. But it's all right. It's what it is. You can go to noagendadonations.com or you can support us in other ways, sending in boots on the ground. We got lots of people doing technical work for us, like our websites, the Noagender meetups websites. The Noagender Art Generator is another example. And of course we have our prompt jockeys, formerly known as artists, who are working diligently, putting together artworks so that we can look cool, suave, funny and relevant.

2:01:52 with a modern piece of art and we're very traditionalist in that case, in that regard. Which is why on Father's Day we try to go for a piece of Father's Day art and we looked at the art generator, there were a lot of them, but the one we chose was from Blue Acorn who has had several wins. in the past few months. And it was a, I would call it graffiti, John calls it graffiti, that is something we will never agree on, that said, Happy Father's Day Noah, Jenda, Kareem, Dvorak, and we both liked it. We didn't even have an argument about it, just like, yeah, that's the one, right? It's true, yeah. Yeah. What else was there? Well, I like that style anyway when somebody can pull it off. Well, you said, we haven't had graffiti in a while. I'm like, no, we haven't had graffiti in a while.

2:02:36 It's true. We haven't had graffiti in a while. Graffiti. Probably five years, maybe. No, it hasn't been that long. I don't believe that for a second. No. Yeah. No. I think so. Maybe ten. You see, we had some Happy Father's Day socks. We had... I don't know. There wasn't really... It was actually kind of low on the Father's Day art, wouldn't you say? Wasn't a lot of it. Yeah. You have nothing to say, do you? You're just done. No, I'm sorry. Are you writing a book? Are you doing something else? Yes, I am. I'm in the middle of writing a book on vinegar.

2:03:18 It's so old, man. Most of these appear to be prompted works and I kind of like Scaramangas. Scaramangas, Passed Out Dad, Two Beers. Yeah, no, you don't kind of like it. You liked it. Yeah. The issue is, again, Curry Dvorak is very small and we are very important in the artwork. So that wasn't, that's a mistake Scaramanga makes more often. He thinks his art is more important than the show. Yeah, that's what he does. That's him. Yes. And his art is looking more and more washed out. This is the problem with AI. That piece, yes, we both noticed this. It has got a very limited dynamic range, which is the term I like to use.

2:04:06 And it's noticeable. Where's the white? There's no whites. There's no whites. There's no blacks. It's all mud. Then this is the same thing that's happening with the DH Unplugged show, which goes live Tuesdays and is available to you Wednesday once a week. It's a great show about the financial markets. Then even Horowitz is like, this is no good. I can't get it to look good anymore. So what's happening? I'm looking at all the yarns to see which ones have big dynamic range in this. The ones that are probably done by Photoshop, which are no good. That's the problem. Yeah. There's not a lot. There's a couple, there's a blue acorn's got a couple of pieces that are

2:04:48 Fairly high dynamic range common streak blogger did something on Photoshop or something. It's very high Blue acorns though I'm looking at his works, and they all have they have they tend to have whites Yeah, and all the cartoon stuff is looking like all the other cartoon stuff Yes, this is really bothersome because there's so many different styles of cartooning. Why do they all have the same kind of pudgy Look of The pudgy kid in the show, what was it called, with the Texans, talked to each other like this. Oh, Dad? King of the Hill. King of the Hill, yeah. Yeah, what was that? It was Bobby. They all looked like Bobby. But look at Scaramanga's Dr. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band down there. It's the same washed out, everything's getting washed out, low dynamic range as you say.

2:05:41 It's noticeable. It's noticeable and I think it's a problem. It's hurting the show, people. It's hurting the show. Thank you very much, Blue Acorn. We appreciate your contribution as always. All of the artists, real or prompting, it all ultimately comes down to What is the conceit? What is your idea? What is the joke? What is the gag? And then the execution. But we will even go for poor execution from the farmer's wife kids over... Farmer's daughter. No, it's the farmer's wife, I think. Oh, it's the farmer's wife kids, yeah. Yeah, you're right. Over a slick piece of art with a bad concept.

2:06:19 We appreciate it. Time, talent, treasure. Now when it comes to treasure, we thank everybody who supports the show each episode, $50 and above. At this point, we'd like to thank some special people who went out of their way to donate more than they would have to really. But that's their choice. It is what they feel the show is worth to them. And we love that because of course we agree. $200 and above which we highly appreciate we will read your note if you sent one in along with it We encourage people sending short notes and we'll give you a credit just like Hollywood an associate executive producer credit which can be used anywhere and Recognized as such even in Hollywood circles go take a look at IMDB comm you can open up an account there and proudly display your associate executive producer credits for this episode $300 and above same deal read your note, but then you get an executive producer credit

2:07:09 credit and we will start it off with our first executive producer who as far as I know did not produce a note for us Lena Engel from Brownsville Texas. $619.25 which I would presume is a show date donation which I kind of like because today is the 19th of June 2025. It was suggested that is the Juneteenth donation. Ah, Juneteenth. Well, does she get a special credit for that? Did you promise any special credits for Juneteenth donations? I just said it was a good idea. Oh, well, it's a very good idea. The dynamite, I love it. So she nailed it. But she got no notes, so she gets a double up karma. You've got it. We'll look for a note in the future.

2:07:55 Yes, if we missed it, let us know. Yeah, send us a note and send it to notes at noagendashow.net. Notes at noagendashow.net. Try to remember that. Yes. And that way it'll get done. Yes. We'll get lost. Yes. Sir Danimal's up next. He came in with 500 bucks and he said send in a note, which I have somewhere here. There it is. Nope. There it is. He's a very short note. He's way up there. He should be boosting his titles. He's in high range. ITM's guardians of reality, he writes. Happy Father's Day to you both and to all the dads out there. Karma, please stay safe. Sir Danimal, Baron of the Secret City. All right, stay safe yourself. You've got karma.

2:08:47 And then coming in with $333.33, another note? This is... It appears these are no longer scans, these are pictures that Jay is taking. No, this is not... Here's the issue. There was an issue. Yeah, Jay is sick. Oh, who did the spreadsheet? Brennan came over. Oh, that's awesome. And he did the, he did it, and so it's going to be different. But I, wow, that's so cool that he did that. He stepped in for his wife. That's nice. Yeah, no, he's a good guy. He is a good guy. And, you know, we'll of course, we'll dock Jay's pay, give it to Brendan. To John and Adam. There you go. This is the actual, the real Adam Curry, by the way, you just heard. That's right. This is from Dame Tony. I remember, this is the Adam he used to, when he was at MeVeo.

2:09:37 We'd go out, he'd always be smoking, so he's outside smoking because you can't smoke in buildings in San Francisco, so he's outside smoking and he's got his phone. And he's smoking while looking at the phone and people would come in late. Like 10 o'clock. They'd be coming in five minutes late. 10 o'clock. He'd always look up, oh so glad you could make it. We start at 9 here. And he'd just ridicule each person as they came in late. You would stand there with me Dvorak. Because I was cracking up. It wasn't five minutes late, it would be like 10, 10 30. I'd be hey good morning, I was here at 9.

2:10:17 Yeah, I'm an a-hole. Dear John Adam writes Dame Tony Helps, ITM donation have been so bad lately I feel compelled to donate now instead of waiting until show 1776 for the big bicentennial event. I recently moved to Oklahoma City and purchased a new built home. This is a second house, the second house I've purchased in five years. I noticed that homes are no longer made with landlines in them, making it mandatory for people to have cell phones if they want to call someone. I don't even know if it's possible to have one installed. This makes your idea of putting your phone in a drawer impractical. So your phone in a book box is not a good exit strategy. Sorry Adam, no, they got nicks.

2:10:55 Also something I've noticed about the protesters. Why are they carrying flags from their home countries if they are protesting being sent back there? They're so proud of the nation. Why not stay there? It makes no sense to me. They burned the American flag but want to stay here. They're just protesting to cause commotion and nothing more. Senseless. But enough ranting. Thank you for your courage. Dame Tony Helps. Sent from my iPhone. On a piece of paper. Nice. Okay. Thank you very much, Dave Toney. A couple of things. One, if you have an internet connection, your internet provider, 90% of all internet providers can give you a landline phone as part of the service free. My landline is from sonic.net. It's fiber optics. It comes into the little box there, the fiber box that comes in the house. And off of that is the landline which feeds into the

2:11:48 Wire wells is wired in the house for landline it plugs into that and covers the whole house with landlines So you can get it you can get a landline you can put this phone in the drawer if you have a internet provider The phone should be made out of Bakelite The tech grouch, where is he where is so Tomonymous? Oh Tomonymous in... What do you think? A mouse? A mouse? A mouse, Pennsylvania? Emos. I'm gonna say Emos. E-M-M-A-U-S. Somebody from Pennsylvania know how to pronounce that? Because I look at it and it says a mouse. A mouse!

2:12:35 315, Tom Onimus here, giving a huge thanks to all the producers of No Agenda and an even bigger thanks to Adam and John for creating V4V and continuing to dedicate their time to the greatest podcast in the universe.

And again, thank you to these executive and associate executive producers. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.

2:22:14 Well, I want to Play some tick-tock tips. Okay, you got to come close to the microphone though. We do I'm on top of this change again Did the volume change I haven't changed anything. No, it's you just you just just move away and they like I couldn't be if I was any closer I'd be behind Talk All right, TikTok clips, everybody. The moment everybody's been waiting for. Who cares about nuclear war? TikTok clips on deck.

2:22:54 Well then, if you're concerned about that, I can do a hybrid clip. This is TikTok on nuclear war. Economists agree that to enter World War III on the same scale as World Wars I and II would end our world. If there was a nuclear war, yes, billionaires would be able to survive the two weeks to a month they have to wait for the nuclear fallout to settle. But the problem is that there would then be a food shortage, which would kill about 5 billion people. Not to mention society as we know it would be completely destroyed. There would be no agriculture, no infrastructure, most likely no technology. We'd have to rebuild everything. What is the point of being a billionaire and surviving through a fallout like that if there is no society? If there is no working class to exploit, to extract wealth from? Billionaires don't just want to survive. They want to live in luxury, which is why they need the working class. Do they give a single fuck about our survival? No. That's why proxy wars will continue in the Middle East and Africa because they view those humans as disposable, to further their economic interests.

2:23:48 But they need our labor to maintain their lifestyle. So therefore, our interests are aligned with theirs. And a nuclear war would mean the end of life as they know it. That's why I find this whole situation to be highly unlikely, but let me know what you all think in the comments. The more you know, in the morning. I'm educated now. Oh no you're not because one thing she said that the billionaires are gonna go underground and crop up after a few weeks yeah yeah well they have with a thermonuclear bomb the not a hydrogen bomb but the big bombs that fission, fusion, fission bombs are the ones that are packed in radioactive material on the outside. So you have three bombs going off. The radiation lasts for years. What happened to the neutron bomb? That was going to be cool because the buildings would be there, but we'd all die. I love the neutron bomb. That was when I was a kid. Oh, the neutron bomb. Oh no, they've developed something that will kill the people but leave the buildings. That was always curious to me.

2:24:48 There was a backlash against the neutron bomb. I'll say. Anyway, so now she doesn't know what she's talking about. Because you can't rubbleize if you only kill the people. Yeah, and rubbleization is the key. People don't realize that. This is one of the few shows that understands rubbleization. We have rubbleize. You caught me off guard. You got me off guard. Your supposed racist words. Unfortunately, this is the whole clip. I only meant to clip the first three words so after the third word you can kill it. Here are six words that you use every day that have racist origins. Although these words might seem harmless, they are rooted in a long history of oppression and racism in the U.S. Wait a minute, does picnic come up again? Is that in this series? No, no, no. Okay. Number one. These are new words. New words. Picky. This refers to enslaved people. Is this the same chick as the nuclear war chick?

2:25:38 No, this is a different one. All these chicks are starting to sound the same. They're in the same TikTok milieu. They're blending together. This refers to enslaved people were forced to pick knits or lice out of other people's hair. It was a very dehumanizing task. Number two, gyp. This is actually related to the word gypsy which is a slur for Romani people. Number three, no can do. This was originally a sentence or term used to mock Asian Americans, primarily Chinese immigrants to make fun of their accent. Number three, uppity. This was a term used to describe black people who were typically seen as too confident and it was definitely an insult.

2:26:14 preceded violence against black people. Number four, the peanut gallery. This term refers to in segregated theaters when black people had to sit in the worst cheapest seats in the house. And finally, we have the term grandfathered in which is in reference to when black people were forced to take literacy tests in order to vote, aka a form of voter suppression. White people who had been grandfathered in the right to vote did not have to take these tests. So if you're a white person, please stop using these things. Peace and love. Peace and love well, I didn't the peanut gallery sounds Howdy doody, so Howdy do the whole thing this is all nonsense But but the one thing that keeps cropping up and I've heard it before and I had a well I had a hip is something we say all the time. Yep is the one I'm gonna bring this is the way I Focused in on that what people don't realize it seems as if the other they credit JIP is being derived from gypsy But it's the other way around

2:27:11 Yeah, we were saying gyp and they went, hey, that's who we are. We'll be gypsies. Exactly. In fact, let me read from this etymology page. Chad GPT. All right. Gyp is attested from 1794 as universal slang for a servant that waited on students in their halls. This is said to have been especially true in Cambridge. And a story told there derived from the Greek gyps, G-Y-P-S, gyps, for vulture in reference to thievish habits of the servants. Hmm. So gypsy derives from gyp, not the other way around. Wow.

2:27:52 So she was actually racist. So you can say gyp and I would just suggest to people, I'm gonna cut this out. I'm gonna print it out, cut it out and keep it in my wallet when somebody calls me out for using the word gyp as a slur against gypsies. No! It's not the case. Gypsy was derived from gyps, not the other way around. Wow, the more you know. The more you know. I get so irked at these women with their, oh, I know so much. Well, she was actually racist by using the term gypsy. Gypsy is actually the slur. It is, yes it is. Wow. So well, according to some people. Oh, John, your clips are so educational today. It's just amazing. All right, I'll give you one more. One more, okay. Well, let me think here. Which one can I

2:28:40 I got so many here. I know that's why I'm letting you choose one more. Yeah, thanks for nothing. I want to play the... Sorry. I can't quite get it. One of the things that we've noticed and it started with that who's going to wipe our asses comment by one of the one of the Democrats in one of the houses in one of the states. And the comment that was on The View some years ago, who's going to clean the toilets? Yes, yes. This idea that all the immigrants that have come over are here to be our personal slaves and clean the toilets and pick the fruit that no one else will pick and work on a construction site that no one else will work on, which is all bogus. You can hire people to do these things, but you have to pay them a living wage or at least a wage.

2:29:33 And so we'd rather have this constant theme that these are slaves that we want to keep here because they work cheap or they do stuff that nobody else will do and people will do these things is so It just runs through the Democrat Party. It's just beyond me. But here's a woman, obviously from, I wouldn't say Beverly Hills, but she's obviously a kind of upper middle class creep, lamenting about the workers.

2:30:09 So I'm in my beautiful city, LA, and I have friends texting me like all morning. My gardener didn't show up. My housekeeper didn't show up. Oh, my farmer's market was closed. Everyone's scared. Well, this is not going to just happen in LA. And you won percenters that only voted for Trump because of money? Money? Guess what? You're gonna have to do your own dishes, or clean your own house, or mow your own lawn, and all that wonderful produce, the organic produce you get for your brunches? All gone. Yeah. You're gonna actually have to do some work around your house. People are important.

2:30:52 What is the one percenters? Is that the one percenters of Democrats who voted for Trump? Is that some kind of new slur? I have no idea what she's talking about. Sounds like a new slur that, you know, he won by one percent and it was you people. That's what I'm thinking that means. That could be, but this idea that people can't do the dishes. Yeah. Well, you know... It's like, what? I do the dishes. President Trump, turncoat that he is. This morning, confusion after immigration and customs enforcement agents were told to resume raids on hotels, restaurants, and farms days after President Trump suspended those raids. Trump saying this last week.

2:31:32 We can't do that to our farmers and leisure too, hotels. The president acknowledging the agriculture and hospitality industry's reliance on undocumented workers. But now the administration reversing its position once again, telling ICE agents to continue carrying out arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants. A Homeland Security spokesperson saying these operations target illegal employment networks that undermine American workers. Trump yesterday was asked about the reversal. I love how he's saying, you know, it's farmers and then, oh no, it's the inner cities. It's a very confusing report. And of course, they'll also mix up the term immigrants with illegal immigrants. Some fellow Republicans now pushing for the return of these worker exemptions. If you take all of them away,

2:32:25 Those companies tell me that they're not going to be able to, you know, produce. Now, worker exemptions. This is getting a little confusing. We do have very specific. immigration visas for temporary workers. So I'm not sure if they mean the exemptions that already exist and people can can use or the exemptions in the ICE raids. Wherever you got that clip is a very good, that was a bad source. It's ABC. They chopped up what Trump had to say in an awkward way. Where was it? Where did this come from? It's bad. This is from

2:33:04 ABC? ABC. Oh, well, no, it's bad. A dramatic confrontation in New York. ICE agents arresting a city official and mayoral candidate who was linking arms with an immigrant agents were trying to arrest. He was pushed against... Wait a minute. What did he say? So this was interesting. Let me hear that again. The official and mayoral candidate who was linking arms with an immigrant agents were trying... Immigrant. illegal immigrant and he was linking arms as a mayoral candidate. This is the new thing. Show your bold against Trump, go in and make a ruckus during a press conference. I'm a senator, I'm a mayoral candidate, I'm linking arms with an illegal immigrant. Arresting a city official and mayoral candidate who was linking arms with an immigrant agents were trying to arrest. Where is it?

2:33:58 He was pushed against the wall and arrested, but was released without charges. I said you assaulted an officer. I mean, you guys all saw it on video, so you know exactly what happened. I certainly did not assault an officer. Lionel Woyze, ABC News, New York. NBC. He said ABC News. I thought you said NBC. He said ABC News. Okay. I just need to remind everybody that it's actually doable to come into the United States legally. There's many different visa programs. I have helped people come in. I have also helped some people years and years ago who were like, hey, I'm here illegally. Can you help me? Yeah, I can help you out. There are lawyers who do this. They're actually cheaper than the coyotes. But the whole

2:34:45 certainly during President Biden's administration and before, the whole idea of just saying, oh, you know, don't worry about it. You come in, you overstay your visa, which is the biggest problem, people overstaying an existing tourist visa. But then it's just like I just come across the border. It's no problem you they might Arrest you but then you get released that is what created the problem and I got some emails from some of our producers You know, well, we need a comprehensive immigration reform Arnold Schwarzenegger was on The View and everyone clipped a little bit of him saying you need to get back to America, but then we went right back into comprehensive immigration reform no

2:35:25 No, we have fine... I know the laws. The only one I never liked is they force anyone who wants to come into the United States as a permanent resident to get all your vaccines and for the longest time that included the COVID vaccine, unless you could prove that you've had your vaccines. I've never liked that provision. Asylum is also possible if you come from a country designated as qualified for asylum and you go through a port of entry and you can actually get it done. So, there's people listening to the show like, well I don't like it, I don't like deporting immigrants. They're not immigrants, they're illegal immigrants. And you can do it legally. Unfortunately, our own government and our own government money through the UN

2:36:15 immigration program which is billions of dollars who are telling people how to do it. Unfortunately, that gave everybody the wrong idea and a misconception. You can come into America legally. It is very possible. It takes a little bit longer than your trip if you just want to walk across the border, but it's possible. And we're pretty fun-loving people. We want you. We want you to come in. We want you to be here. That's the fallacy and people have... they need to be reminded once in a while. Anyway... Here's an interesting story from the Bay Area that I caught and I wondered if you had heard any more about it. According to court documents, 45-year-old Austin Hills, the great-grandson of the founders of the famous Hills Brothers Coffee Company, was driving his Land Rover at about 3.15 Thursday morning and began tailgating a Tesla security guard who was out on his lunch break. In court documents, investigators say Hills turned off his headlights and attempted to rear end the security guard's Tesla.

2:37:18 Investigators say Hills also followed the security guard into the Tesla parking lot attempting to ram his car. Investigators say the security guard managed to evade him and that's when Hills abruptly left the parking lot and began ramming another occupied car parked on Page Avenue. We've learned the woman in that car was also a Tesla employee. on her lunch break. When police arrived, they say Hills took off onto 680 again, shut off his lights and began driving erratically, leading officers to end the chase. Hill was ultimately arrested later that morning in Napa. Police say they found a variety of items in his car, including multiple cell phones, laptops, a metal pressure cooker, a gas mask, a drone, extended shell casings, gas cans and alcohol.

2:38:05 Once again, Hill's family has a long legacy in the Bay Area. His great-grandfather co-founded the famous Hill's Brothers Coffee Company that opened in San Francisco in 1898. Investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the strange and scary attack, but court documents show Hill's told police the security guard was the one driving erratically and that he had no memory of going to Fremont, ramming any cars, or being pursued by police. blaming stress for his lack of memory. Tesla derangement syndrome as far as I'm concerned. What's this with the pressure cookers back again? That's a little concerning. This whole story is something's wrong with this story. Yeah, yeah, some rich heir. I don't know if he's rich, but I don't know. Well, Austin Hills, 45. He drove a long way. That, well,

2:39:03 Austin Hills, there's a kid, I thought Austin Hills was older because he was a co-owner of the Gurgich Hills Winery, which I'm not gonna have to look up. So he was a wine connoisseur and that's why he went back to Napa, which you know, makes sense because that's where the winery is. Oh, that's why he had alcohol in the car. He had a couple of cases of their finest. Could be. After he used his extended magazines, okay. This whole story is something's amiss. Yes. I have boots on the ground from the constitutional lawyer. I'll play the clip first and I will read what his opinion is on the latest Supreme Court ruling. Tonight the Supreme Court's conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban on some gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, clearing the way for 24 states to continue enforcing similar bans.

2:39:56 In the 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts citing evolving science and profound implications, rejecting the argument that denying trans kids access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy amounts to sex discrimination. Roberts writing the issue should be left to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process. Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined by liberal justices Kagan and Jackson dissented in sadness, writing the court's decision inflicts I love, dissented in sadness. Oh no. So those three want, uh... Yes, they want it. Dissented in sadness. They want the boys to chop their nuts off. What they are saying is that trans people

2:40:49 Do not fall within the sex discrimination classification. That you can legally discriminate against trans people. The sponsor of the Tennessee ban praising the court's decision. The court affirmed what we believe and that is that states do have a compelling interest to protect kids. I won't say I'm optimistic. LW, a trans teen who brought the case and asked us not to show her face, told us last year she'll keep pursuing the treatments in another state because they changed her life. I think really the big difference is when I got on hormones that was incredibly helpful. David, an estimated 100,000 transgender teens and their families live in states where those treatments are banned, but today's ruling has no impact in other states where gender-affirming care for minors remains legal. So, thank you. You know what jumped out at me in that report? No, what? A hundred thousand? That's what they said. I thought it was like some minor, oh, so don't worry about it. There's one kid, you know, here and there.

2:41:50 Yeah. So in this in this few states that have this few states that have the ban on hormone blockers for kids, there's 100,000. I guess. So here's what Rob the constitutional lawyer writes. And he says, First of all, we need to understand that this was a ban on sex changes for minors under the regimen based on a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, and gender incongruence. Those, by the way, are mental diagnoses.

2:42:27 The main question was whether the Tennessee law violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. Supreme Court says no, because it applies equally to boys and girls, no matter what they think they are. The plaintiffs disagreed and said it treats normies better than kids. This is my lawyer talk here. And it treats... Normies. Thank you, Rob. It treats normies better than kids who identify as something other than their birth sex. He says he'll be interested to see how the court addresses this. This will echo throughout other cases because equal protection arguments are made all the time. Equal protection was an important element in Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that held 5-4 that gay marriage is a constitutional right.

2:43:15 It was often said that gay marriage bans did not violate the Equal Protection Clause because it applied equally to men and women. But that case shot that argument down. Note that the holding applies only to a specific set of diagnosis. Watch for sex change doctors to run an end around by inventing new diagnoses. So, gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, and gender incongruence Those are the ones that hold up so we need to come up with a new term Which I don't have yet, but we need to come up with it'll come up you and as soon as you or I see it Yeah, we're gonna lose. We're gonna there is there it is there it is the we're in this moment in this country This is the ACLU's behind this well of course of course they are we're in a moment according to this AC ACLU guy reading from the

2:44:12 story on CNN, a very long story on this topic. We're in a moment in this country where the transgender people in this country are under attack. Oh no! In lawless ways, said Chase Ostongio, an attorney with the ACLU who represents transgender teens at the high court. We are remaining vigilant and ready to fight back. Yes. So there's not ending, you're right, it's not ending. ACLU. And then of course this is the really big news, the big big news, and I love how CNN frames all of this. This is Trump Mobile!

2:44:58 And our money laid from sneakers to watches, even Bibles. The Trump Organization has been cashing in on President Trump's popularity. Today, the Trump Organization says it's now getting into telecommunications and offering Trump Mobile, a new wireless service, the plan. It starts at $47.45 a month. A nod, of course, to Trump's two terms as the 45th and 47th president. Sinead Tadasco has more on the latest business venture by the Trump family. My new Trump watches. Trump fans can already wear a Trump branded watch and sneakers. Soon they'll also be able to have a Trump phone in their pocket. Eric and Donald Trump Jr. announcing Trump Mobile, cell phone plans that will use other wireless carriers networks and eventually sell their own gold-colored phones. Plans are set a symbolic monthly price of $47.45, a nod to Trump's presidencies. But they'll also bundle in telemedicine and roadside assistance.

2:45:53 A big part of what we've done right now in the world has been focused on technology for people who have been underserved, whether that's been in crypto or anything else. But one of the places where we felt... I love Eric Trump. You've been underserved on crypto? Okay. In the world has been focused on technology for people who have been underserved, whether that's been in crypto or anything else. But one of the places where we felt there was lackluster performance was in the mobile industry. The Trump sons claim their mobile phone will be entirely made and on his presidency in unprecedented ways. I don't know about unprecedented. Hello, Biden. Many of those businesses have benefited the president himself, who made more than $600 million last year, according to financial disclosure forms and Reuters. Much of that is from recent ventures like Trump Media and his Trump Crypto coin. Hold on a second. Trump Media? That's not making any money. Are they counting the value of the stock that he owns? That's what it sounds like.

2:47:10 That's not the same as income. That's a money losing company. Yes it is. That company is not making any money. Recent ventures like Trump Media and his Trump Crypto Coin. He's also made money last year from Trump watches, Trump sneakers, Trump fragrances, Trump guitars, and even Trump Bibles. Trump guitars? Yeah, yeah there were Fender guitars. I missed the Trump guitars. He didn't make anything off the Bible. That was Lee Greenwood. He made zero money on the Bible. I'll say, but it was a Trump meme coin, not a crypto coin. Ah, this report. Though Trump has ceded control of the Trump Organization to his children, experts have called out the many conflicts of interest as the federal government regulates many of the industries he's making money from, including wireless phones. I have to say... He hasn't made a nickel from wireless. Not yet. Wait, wait, wait, wait, let me finish. 23 seconds left.

2:47:59 And Phil, I've been speaking to people who actually make cell phones. They say the claim that this phone will be made in America is pretty dubious. That's because there are certain chips and even a GPS crystal that you can literally only find in Asia. And Eric Trump seemed to allude to this in an interview he did say later, eventually all the Trump phones will be built in the United States. So we'll see how much of this phone is actually made in America when it comes out later this year. I have a story about this, but you go first. I was gonna say I had a note from a publishing mogul that we talk about occasionally. He said, you want to review this phone, this idiotic phone? You know, he's not a big Trump fan. And I said, hell yeah, I'll review the phone. My first complaint would be why is it $47.45 when it should be $45.47? They're trying to gouge the customer for two bucks.

2:48:47 I'd review the phone. That's not the phone, that's the service. Yeah, well the service, it's part of it, but it's called the T Trump Service, Trump Mobile. Trump Mobile, yeah. Yeah, but that's part of it. And the phone, I don't think, I say I agree to do a review because I hate phones anyway, so I'm going to be objective. Not. And... Wait a minute, is this going to be a published article? Yeah, yeah. Awesome. You're back, baby. I'm telling you, the phone will never show up. It's never going to happen. It's like the vinegar book. You're back, baby. You're back reviewing phones. Welcome back, man. Welcome back to tech journalism. Awesome. You can go back on Twit now. Review the Trump phone. Yeah, this phone will never see the light of day. You don't think so? No. We have a friend who shall go nameless.

2:49:41 And she buys all this stuff. Her kids have Trump outfits. She's a collector. She's a wearing collector. Her kids got little Trump outfits. She's got Trump, her husband has Trump ties, Trump boots. His tie is signed. They go to Mar-a-Lago and get the stuff signed. You know, there's a shop at Mar-a-Lago. You can get a glittery clutch with Trump on it. They love all this stuff. They are on fire for Trump. They love everything. This is a real thing. People love Trump memorabilia and stuff. I think a lot of it, not all of it, but a lot of it's very collectible. Highly collectible.

2:50:23 Yeah, and it's gonna be valuable at some point in the long future from now. I'd give it a hundred years. Yeah, crap's gonna wind up in a garage somewhere, and a garage sale. Oh, look at this! Just like a poster, a Nazi poster of Tito. Nazi poster of Tito. And then I got one more. We should do five more, a five-minute warning here. This showed up on MSNBC. It has a little bit of a boom boom pew pew lead in. Oh my god

2:51:14 It appears there has been a road. Ship 36 just blew up. Ship 36 just blew up. That was the moment a SpaceX Starship undergoing testing suffered a catastrophic failure overnight. The explosion sending a fireball into the night sky that could be seen dozens of miles away. Thankfully no one was injured. Now SpaceX is investigating what went wrong with the Starship. Rocket Elon Musk says one day will carry humans to Mars. Impress me and go to the moon. NBC News senior correspondent Tom Costello covers aviation. He's joining us now. Aviation? That video is incredible. How did this happen, Tom? And what does it mean for future missions? What does it mean? Well, that's going to be the focus of this investigation that SpaceX will lead. The FAA, of course, will be a party to it. But this has not been a good year for Elon Musk or SpaceX. This latest explosion, yet another setback for Musk's lifelong quest to eventually send humans

2:52:10 to Mars, but more immediately, NASA needs Starship. The rocket that blew up, it needs Starship to get to the moon. Funny how we can't seem to do it anymore. I don't get it. We've lost the test. We've lost the plans. We've lost the CIA, all the smart people. We've lost the smart people at the CIA. Alright, five minutes. You got your last clip. Let's go. Well, we got a couple of... There's a series about the Minnesota shooter. We want to get that out of the way. Yeah, before the story's gone. Okay, Minnesota hitman. It's NPR, everybody. It's Elitist Voices. I hope it's Scott. Investigators are still determining the motive behind the killing of a Minnesota state representative and her husband over the weekend.

2:52:55 They say that Vance Belter had a much larger list of people he was apparently planning to target, including other Democratic elected officials and abortion rights supporters. One area of his background is yielding some insight into the views he held about abortion, and that is his religious connections. NPR's domestic extremism correspondent, Odette Youssef, is here to discuss – hi, Odette. Odette Youssef, MPH – Hey, Mary Louise. Mary Louise Martin – Okay, so what do we know about his religious connections, his religious background? We know that he graduated from a school in Texas called the Christ for the Nations Institute, which has put out a statement condemning the violence and saying it's not what the school teaches. But the CFNI is considered to be a precursor to a movement that is now referred to as the New Apostolic Reformation.

2:53:45 And we know that when Belter was in Africa two years ago, he spoke during sermons about his belief in modern-day prophets and apostles in the U.S., and experts say this is distinct to NAR theology. And so, you know, now the NAR up until recently has been considered a fringe strand of the evangelical right. It's a neo-charismatic expression of Christianity. But, you know, a really important aspect of the NAR movement, Mary Lise, is its political aspirations. There's an idea they espouse called dominionism.

2:54:24 Oh wow. You haven't heard that one have you? He's a dominionist. There we go. Yes. Neo charismatic. Another good one. I like it. Yeah. They got terms in here that I've never heard, but they bring it into, Oh, dominionism. This was during the George Bush administration. This is when these first cropped up. This was the, there's an idea as a offshoot of Christians that are trying to protect Israel. Because you know there's got to be a second coming at some spot around there and they don't want to don't want to miss it on a pockmarked the land so it's so nothing bad happens when return and so they're they're nuts the Dominionists no offense to I we must have a few that listen to the show I'm sorry to say that but

2:55:10 Always thinking of donations. Very good, John. Very good. I will say this, I haven't noticed any dominionist donations. Maybe that would keep me from playing these sorts of clips. Oh, okay. But onward with clip two, get it out of the way. And that is a belief that they are called to take control over every aspect of society to impose Old Testament biblical governance. And so this has been a powerful anti-democratic movement that has aligned itself with the MAGA movement and has also fed concerns about rhetoric that could inspire extremist violence. Well, they got to it finally.

2:55:50 Okay, a lot to take in there. You're talking about this has fed concerns about rhetoric could inspire extremist violence Is there evidence that would that would actually give cause for concern that this community might turn to violence? Well some leading figures within the NAR were critical in mobilizing and fomenting anger within Trump's base in the period leading to the January 6th attack on the Capitol and But in the context of these attacks in Minnesota, you have to look at the language and framing around the topic of abortion. Fred Clarkson from Political Research Associates says there's reason to be concerned that the NAR is priming the pump for this kind of violence. There's been a decided uptick in the rhetoric and vision of violence in the United States from apostolic leaders for some time. No, this is bullcrap. Apostolic leader. So they switched real quick from

2:56:43 immigration which is what would the big deal was they switch it over to abortion yeah nice switcheroo and there's a switcheroo but they still can't account for the fact that is still I'm still convinced the guy was a professional hitman he floats around here and there went to Africa and he's and his wife was caught with passports for all the kids $10,000 in cash which I think was the prepayment for theirs For the job, for the job, for the job. The prepayment, because 10 grand is not enough. No. And they were all going to flee the country after he did whatever, whoever he was supposed to kill and get away with. And he had the expensive mask, he was not a cheapie. No. And you know, the whole thing, this is, this is,

2:57:25 This is all bullcrap, but it's a good shot. It does take a shot at these Christian nutcases because they're also Trump supporters. Yes, and there's an uptick in violence in the sermons. And there's an uptick in violence by the apostolic leaders. leaders leaders leaders leaders leaders apostolic leaders yes the knee the neo charismatic wonder why they're having their funding taken away and within that rhetoric Mary Louise you'll hear abortion discussed as ritual child sacrifice and as something that empowers demons Can we connect this though? Can we connect extreme rhetoric with the violence we just saw in Minnesota? So we know that Belter railed against abortion in America during at least one sermon abroad. So it was an issue he cared about.

2:58:21 And there was an interesting detail in the federal complaint filed against Belter yesterday, which said that he sent a group text to his wife and other family members a few hours after the rampage occurred. And it said, Dad went to war last night. This language of war is the language that the NAR uses when talking about taking dominion over society. Clarkson says it's clear who the enemies are in that war. The NAR views historic Christian churches and civil government and its leaders as enemies, as, you know, infested with demons. These are things that they talk about all the time. The question is, at what point does the rhetoric meet the reality? So in a sentence, Odette, is the case here that the rhetoric met the reality? I think it's hard to say at this point, Mary Louise, but we will be learning more as the investigation continues. Wow.

2:59:15 They're really conflating a lot of things. Spiritual warfare is very different. As long as Trump is somehow involved, it's his fault. Time to thank some Dominionists for their support of the show, Value for Value. Yes, you were going to say? I was going to say that we have some donations and we have some people to thank. We don't have as many as I'd like. No. But we do have a couple of regulars that keep coming back for more, which is Dame Rita. She's at the top again. Yes. For some reason it says Dame Dita here.

What is coming is end of show mixes. We have Jon's tip of the day. And right now we decide, I got some complaints like, the ISOs used to be fun until you found out that Jon was doing the AI, now they all suck and they used to be better. I'm like, you know, I rarely make an ISO myself. I always wait for people to send them to me and the quality, I would say, indeed has been low.

3:11:14 But that's not our fault. It's up to you. You guys are the producer of the show. So what is your, um... I don't have an artificial intelligence ISO. I have a real one. Oh. And I was hoping you could beat it because I hate to badger people with these AI ones that are terrific, by the way. Yes, okay. So I'll play your ISO right now. We've just been on a run of really good shows lately. It's a little long, but it's fitting because it's true. Let me try mine. Mmm, that's so special. Meh, yeah, this one may be better. Iran can't have a nuke. You're like, well I got the laugh out of you, so that is the winner of the ISO contest. Right now it is time for John's tip of the day.

3:12:17 So this is not a cleaning product, but this is a product that cleans. What is the difference, we wonder? Well, if you remember, I had this thing called a scrub daddy. Scrub daddy? Which was a screwball sponge made out of some very harsh plastic. I found something better. And I don't even know how it got in the house. I think Jay dropped one off or Mimi told me about him later after I played with it. It's called a scrub buddy. Sounds like something you get in Amsterdam at one of those massage parlors. Scrub buddy. So the scrub buddy, and there's different versions of it. If you look up scrub buddy, you're going to find a whole, they have a store, they got all kinds of different ones. The ones you want are the cheap, it's like a sponge, it's an actual sponge that's covered

3:13:12 on both sides with a kind of an envelope of some, I don't know what plastic this is, but this stuff is like a Brillo pad in terms of its, I mean you could scrub your skin off with whatever plastic this is, but the reason you want it is because if anybody out there, I know you shouldn't be doing this, and you have to throw them out after a while so they're disposable, but if you have a non-stick pan with whatever coding you've got, at some point, stuff starts to stick to it.

3:13:50 You have to scrub it off and you can't use a Brillo pad or anything. No, no, you ruin your non-stick coating. Not the case with the Scrub Buddy. This thing will take off anything and it doesn't hurt the surface. I don't know what it is, how they've done it, what kind of plastic this is that's coated, that's not coated. It's like an envelope around a sponge. It's a terrific product and the problem with that compared to Scrub Daddy, the Scrub Daddy's you can wash in the dishwasher, you can clean them and at some point the Scrub Buddy has to be tossed because it just does such a great job. How many scrubs does the Scrub Buddy do? I think you can do about 10. Oh, okay. But these are 10 major.

3:14:32 Ten major major major issues. Big scrubs. Yeah, little scrubs you could do, I don't know, a hundred. But the big scrubs where you really get in there and grind something off. Wow. What are you cooking, man? You have major scrubs in your nonstick pan. It happens. Yeah, I'm confused. There it is, the Scrub Buddy, everybody. That is John C. Dvorak's Tip of the Day. Find them all at tipoftheday.net. And sometimes Adam created by Dana Brunetti. Yes, thank you very much, Dana Brunetti. Where would we be without Dana Brunetti? We'd be nothing I tell you, absolutely nothing. And that concludes our broadcast day. By the way, Brunetti's latest show is up on number three on Netflix. What is his latest show? What is it? It's called Motorhead. Motorhead?

3:15:25 Oh, well let's take a look at it. Yeah, he says he's gonna get nothing out of it because he broke up with this production company. He's gonna get screwed. Oh, okay, so we should not watch it then. We don't give those guys any money. That's no good.

And coming up right after we disconnect the stream, it'll be Planet Ridge! With Larry and Darren, if you're looking for a no-agenda-like show.

3:16:02 These guys have got the goods. Not quite as good, but you know, it's Planet Rage. It's one of my favorite listens. Oh, let me put it that way. Happy Juneteenth, everybody! Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in Fredericksburg. In the morning, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're awaiting...

3:17:55 General Michael Flynn calls out Netanyahu and the Israeli military leadership for clearly standing down. The point is, and so these governments all need a boogeyman. I'm your boogeyman. Somebody had had a bunch of the troops stand down. I mean, this is 9-11 all over again. I'm your boogeyman. Breakthrough, overrun, go in. Israel supports Hamas. There's a lot of back-channel wink-wink going on here. Suitcases full of cats. It is true. I'm your boogeyman. And so these governments all need a boogeyman. No, I don't support Hamas. You are 100% right. We don't support Hamas. I'm your boogeyman. I looked it up. Israeli intelligence created Hamas.

3:18:43 General Michael Glynn calls out Netanyahu. Let's be clear, there's no way. I'm your boogeyman. Israel supports Hamas. It is true. I looked it up. No, I don't support Hamas. I'm your boogeyman. I mean, this is 9-11 all over again. But the point is- I'm your boogeyman. Suitcase is full of cash. There's a lot of back channel wink wink going on here. I looked it up.

Well, I don't want to get involved either, but I've been saying for 20 years, maybe longer, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I've been saying it for a long time. My support is don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.

3:19:27 It was such a shame they were so close. Iran was very close to signing what would have been a very good agreement for them. And maybe that could still happen, I guess. They do want to come and see us. They want to see me in the White House. That's a big statement. I mean, they asked if they could come. We'll see if that happens. It's not that easy for them to come. They can't get out. They're in Iran. And in one case, I want to come so badly, but he can't get out because his bombs dropping all over the place. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Too much devastation. And they'd use it. You know, I believe they'd use it. The best podcast in the universe! Adios, mofo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Iran can't have a nuke.
