About this episode

CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert effective May 2025, sparking a political firestorm involving Senator Chris Murphy and Paramount Global. While Murphy alleges the move is a censorship tactic to appease the Trump administration during the Skydance Media merger, internal reports suggest the show loses $40 million annually. This decision follows a $16 million settlement between Paramount and Donald Trump over a disputed 60 Minutes interview.

President Trump signed The Genius Act into law to regulate stablecoins as Treasury Secretary Scott Besant moves to solidify the dollar as an internet-native reserve currency. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi is preparing to release Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records to counter a Wall Street Journal report regarding a lewd birthday note allegedly sent by Trump. In the tech sector, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison proposed a future of AI surveillance drones to monitor police and citizens, while the National Cancer Institute faces significant budget cuts targeting its public relations and marketing departments.

Congressman Tim Burchett discusses the Epstein Files Transparency Act and the cultural impact of the word dadgum during a wide-ranging interview on government secrecy. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry analyze the rise of phallic wine aerators at local meetups and the strange phenomenon of ChatGPT-induced psychosis. The episode concludes with a musical Boomer Jam by Nico Seim and a recommendation for Leather Honey conditioner.

Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak, Disaster Tech Lab Meetup

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 1783 from Texas and Silicon Valley. Curry describes a recent meetup in Fredericksburg organized by Everet Bopp of Disaster Tech Lab, a non-profit that deploys Wi-Fi mesh networks in disaster zones like the recent floods in Kerr County. Bopp reported that while most tech companies donate gear, Starlink charges full retail price for equipment used in humanitarian relief.

00:00 Ahaha, look what you got there. I see what you're doing. Adam Curry John C. Dvorak It's Sunday July 20th 2025 This is your award-winning Keep on Asian Media assassination episode 1783! This is no agenda For the Kiss Cam and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley we're trying to bring back the term Daddy-O! I'm John C. Dvorak I was gonna try and slip it in during the show, but now you've given it away Yep. I thought was a good idea bring back daddy-o hey Daniel cuz it's a vibe man It's a vibe oh so we got to know from some guy explaining vibe well It's a vibe not just vibe. It's a vibe you gotta say right? It's a vibe. I'm not saying it at all um It's interesting I guess

01:00 I don't think it has legs. Oh, what do you mean? This is all over the place! It's already... oh it's in. I've never heard it except on the show Well, I don't expect people to say that at Costco You know? Hey, hey man that wine it's a vibe. It's a vibe man! That wine is a vibe. They don't say it at the Chevron station Yeah well hey how was your meetup you had to get John out of the house meet up I wasn't as good as it usually is but it was okay we got they're generous At least this group I'll read the...I have the uh Meet Up stuff that I'll read during the donation segment But so they were generous but there wasn't good

01:43 It would know that they were generous, but the numbers were like 20 people maybe. Oh well my meetup was exactly six including me how many? Six okay well this brings us to a point of discussion then Well I okay but remind me to tell you about the meetup because it was a special kind of meet up so go ahead with your point of discussion A special kind of meet-up what uh... Was it some sort Cabal, gay cabal thing or something like that? Yeah John. That's exactly right! That makes so much sense a gay cabal in Fredericksburg Texas yeah that's what's going on it could be no this was organized by Everett Bopp oh you're this is your Dutch guy this is the Dutch cabal yes but you know what this dutch cabal is So Everet who spooks No he has a non-profit

02:37 called Disaster Tech Lab, disastertechlab.org and he goes all over the world whenever there's a disaster he brings in Wi-Fi networks So he brings in, he has all this donated gear and so of course he was here for the floods in Kerr County and he was in Hunt and Centerpoint. Then he sets up these huge mesh networks so people can communicate. That's cool! It is very cool and he's been doing it for 15 years He said well its the first time I've been here And since I was just down the road I figured might as well do a meetup. Texas Slim came

03:17 He was taking $10,000 worth of ground beef down to the Mercy Chefs to feed all of the volunteers and first responders. And let's see we had Richard from Austin he is a coder who came up and of course we had Willie my chess partner who showed up as well. So Mimi has a friend that is something like this A woman goes through disaster zones and she is a specialist She has a kind of a I guess a horde or a group of cadaver dogs Oh and boy we need him. We only had one dog

03:57 Which yeah, this was not enough should have known about this that idea cuz she'd be down there She has these cadaver dogs and I guess they're just like three German shepherds or whatever dog it is And they just are experts at this. Yeah well Afert was telling us some of the horror stories which I won't repeat of what people were finding It's not great. Yes gross very gross but it was a It was a nice meetup and so I say, so you know what who funds it? So we have individual donors. We have some government support but not very much he gets

04:40 He gets all of his gear donated except for one company. So, all the Wi-Fi and he leaves it behind so it's donated he leaves it behind he gets new gear guess which company doesn't donate and charges full retail price for everything he does? Starlink! Yes exactly. He says hey can I get a discount no best price you pay now star link Starlink, no deals for the nonprofit. The guy going down there in the disaster area." And then he said... I don't think Starlink's taking a beating on the technology anyway they can't afford to give it away. Oh sure they are and he said you know and i was in so what's it like on the ground? So the government people they're just in the way They suck! Well that's a shocker Yeah I know He says you guys in Texas are well organized

05:36 And he even told the story about how he was invited to go to the White House. He said, so I walk in and it's basically a huge Zoom call with all of the regional FEMA managers and they're listening to his story and they go like yeah we really want to hear how we can innovate what can we do to innovate? Well why don't you deploy this stuff that works today! The stuff that i'm doing, do that And of course the government bozos, I don't want to say they're all bozos. None have been in here? Well no they want to buy stuff! Oh you gotta innovate we gotta do something We gotta budget, we gotta spend some money. You've gotta spend the taxpayers' money. Gotta spend the money yeah He says it was really disappointing but he's been all over Very interesting guy so anyway that was just a fun meetup Now you wanted to discuss meetups briefly

CHAPTER 02 / 28 Discussion

Global Meetup Decline, Pattaya Red Light District Vacancy

The hosts discuss a reported worldwide decline in physical meetups and social gatherings, noting high RSVP no-show rates in Albany and the Bay Area. A video of the Pattaya red light district in Thailand shows thousands of workers but almost no tourists or customers. This trend is attributed to "meetup fatigue," the prevalence of digital chat groups, and individuals becoming socially isolated by interacting primarily with AI chatbots.

06:26 Yeah, Mimi's noticing that there has been a fall off in the number of meetups that people are happening. And this Albany Meetup was interesting because Steve had talked to... I talked to Steve who is... Rekhal Stink Crazy? Rekhals Stink Crazy Steve. Rekhals Stink Crazy Steve and he said there is bunch of RSVPs that didn't show up There were couple people I expected to see but they didn't show up It was gloomy though. I mean, we have a Bay Area July it's cold. It was gloomy and gloomy and But maybe he's noticing that the huge drop-off in meetups The next one is on the 25th That she had I think documents coming up but if she saying this is across the board meetup Yes, hmm interesting worldwide phenomenon Oh, it's a global thing oh no

07:19 And I'm thinking that this is, you know there's a mood. Oh no it's a mood okay yes but it's a worldwide depression...I'm blaming Trump! Oh do tell Well, I don't know why i'm blaming him but he's a good guy to blame. As good of guy as any to blame for? Hey stop it! You blamed the president is the guy who sets some sort of standard and whatever and I'm not blaming him in the way that Midas touch might but for everything you know from the guy has a bad bowel movement he blames Trump yeah I mean that's terrible podcast It's a great podcast But uh...

08:02 It's noticeable. Yeah, interesting and that's why your numbers didn't surprise me at all you I don't care You're there there's enough of you have enough locals it just Parker came Parker he's local either parker can have a no that number should've been 40 now we only had like two show advance warning so you know it takes a lot of Takes a lot of promotion to get people to come out Well, it seems to be good. Relating this to my experience the lack of the people at RCP Steve I don't even know why you bothered doing that at The Mallard but he did that anyway and they didn't show up and the people that expect us see it didn't show up and Mimi's noticeable well notice is a worldwide basis well there's a couple of things that are happening

08:53 One is, you know meetups used to be very sparse. Then it would be like oh okay there's a meetup I'm going to go because it'd be once every six months or something now people are doing them often so they're repeats and you know people have other things to do. You're gonna think what your gonna go toward is meetup burnout. Meet up fatigue. Meet up fatigue. I like burnout better Okay So that could be part of it also A lot, there's you know what is permeating throughout all of culture right now is these meetups they all put together chat groups.

09:32 Okay, so they have okay. So they have chat groups They have telegram channels and they're all doing all their thing there And so they really have nothing to discuss when they show up in in person and They're a little bit wary because now they know all of these how these people really think because of course What is the number one topic on every single no agenda group? But Epstein? Yeah, of course. Mossad blackmail yeah Jews I mean... Jews! So so i think people are also just like ah don't feel like talking about this stuff anymore Well I think that's a rationalization and I'll tell you why say that

10:18 It's a good rationalization. I think it's, you know reasonable this reminds me of stock market analysis You know this market goes up is for the this reason the market goes down for the same reason how does that make sense? Is the somebody sent me a video today of this red light district long film from there from this month The red light district in Thailand that walkthrough. Well, wait a minute where in Thailand? It's rather big place I've been to a couple... The red light district is because it got a name I can look at it. Patpong? Yeah no it's not that something like that what it is Because they have them all over the place No but the big one if you can look it up It's patpong. It's Pattaya Oh Pattaya

11:03 But whatever. Pattaya is a tourist destination? Yeah, and it's a red light district. And it's a tourist destination you're right and it's notorious just google it P-A-T-T-A-Y-A So this guy took a video he was walking through the area there are I'd say thousands of hookers and hundreds and hundreds of nightclubs like we have seen in areas like this around the world and they're just loaded with nightclubs and hookers Nobody. Oh, it's empty? Nobody is there! Hmm... And he's walking this guy some British guy and he's walking through the area these takes us a long film it's like

11:44 I got it up here. It's 30 minutes walking around and there's literally, I mean there are a few motorcycles go by you know motor scooters now Are these the girls that have the number badges on? They have all kinds of different... some hold signs There is thousands of them but the point is The point I'm making here is not about the girls or how they sell themselves but its the fact that place was empty So hooker meetups are also down So I'm thinking that there's a downturn in, you know there are always these discussions about people aren't coupling up anymore. Oh no! You nailed it! Everybody is sitting at home talking to their chatbot They don't have anything left to say they've already told ChatGPT about it and Annie They're all talked out It's a possibility Yeah But its a worldwide phenomenon

Coldplay Concert Kiss Cam, HR Department Infidelity Scandal

A viral story involving a man caught on a stadium "Kiss Cam" at a Coldplay concert with a woman who was not his wife is analyzed. The woman in the video panicked immediately upon seeing herself on the big screen, leading to the discovery that she was an HR representative at the man's workplace. The incident sparked widespread social media memes regarding the hypocrisy of corporate HR departments and the relatable nature of public embarrassment.

coldplay· kiss cam· infidelity· hr department· viral video· memes

12:46 So it's happening on our meetups where this is not good. It's not like we can do anything about it? Yeah, we can bitch and moan! That's what we do! That doesn't help... Also people are afraid to go out like you go to a Coldplay concert and all of a sudden You know you're on the Kiss Cam and your divorced. The best story of the week. Yeah that was really interesting because that dominated social media with memes and apparently There's a good reason for it because it pointed out the hypocrisy of the HR departments, the lack of you know... You can't mingle in the office even though some people think is a good idea but its against the rules. And the basic hypocrisy and then embarrassment which would like almost everybody says the same thing there was a Coldplay concert if they had to freak out

13:43 Which is embarrassing enough to go to, but if they hadn't have freaked out... The girl, by the way is the one who panicked immediately and then he ditched himself. Did you see that some baseball games had a cold play cam? And then they'd focus in on people and then they'd immediately dive down and hide even the players were on the cold play cam They ran back into the dugout Oh that's funny I think it's also we live in such a broken world where everybody either knows what it's like to get caught cheating, is currently cheating or has thought about cheating. I think it was very relatable. It was pretty funny and then to be caught cheating with your HR lady at a Coldplay concert...it's like a triple threat! It's the worst thing you can imagine You can't beat it. It can't get much worse Really was really

CBS Cancels Stephen Colbert, Paramount Settlement with Donald Trump

CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert effective May 2025. While Brian Stelter and other media analysts link the move to Paramount's recent $16 million settlement with Donald Trump over a 60 Minutes interview, the hosts argue the decision is purely financial. The show reportedly loses $40 million annually and has seen a massive audience decline since the writers' strike, as viewers migrate to TikTok.

stephen colbert· cbs· paramount· skydance media· donald trump· brian stelter· late night

14:44 Well, then we have the story that everybody in M5M—remember we are a media deconstruction podcast. We have to talk about this because they were losing their ever-loving minds over it and everybody of course related it immediately to the president due to a number of confluences and things happening with media. And this is The Cancellation Of The Colbert Show! Breaking news CBS is canceling the late show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert just making the shocking announcement at his show taping. Now it's unclear why the show was canceled but it comes after Colbert spoke out again. I just got to listen to him because that's the whole point of playing these clips at all. His parent company Paramounts

15:31 $16 million settlement with Trump over the editing of a 60 Minutes interview. In fact, here's what Colbert said just a few days ago. Now I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles it's Big Fat Bribe because if this all comes as Paramount owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner Skydance So they bring on their own media deconstructionist, the one and only Brian Seltzer-Water to discuss what's really going on. And now hearing that that show is cancelled...Brian Stelter is out front I mean Brian...I love the cadence and now hearing that that show a show was cancelled oh it's canceled! Now we're hearing that that show is canceled Brian Stelters out front I mean Brian

16:22 What more are you lying about what is frankly a stunning announcement? I mean Brian. What she said, I mean Brian Oh she did that too and this is a new thing well when they really don't...I think you say I mean Brian I mean Adam I mean like come on it's like crap me like this is no good. Brian Stelter out front What more are you learning about what is frankly a stunning announcement when we were talking about it just found out about it here in this commercial break I said wait, what? Absolutely. What just happened? It really doesn't make any sense from the normal business logic of television goes like this

17:00 Stephen Colbert is the highest rated program in late night television. He beats his competitors, he's been going at it for 10 years and frankly he has been on a hot streak lately so by the business logic of television normally he would be in a very safe spot However, CBS says this is a financial decision given the difficulties with the entire late night sector. And there is some truth to that explanation I reported a couple years ago about the Late Late Show ending with James Corden because it wasn't profitable anymore there might be some rationale to this CBS announcement, but almost everybody upon hearing about this is connecting it to the Paramount settlement from two weeks ago. Everybody! Because as you said it was just two weeks ago that President Trump struck a deal with the parent of CBS that $60 million dollar settlement. Of course Trump later said that there were other terms on top of the 16 million he referenced getting public service announcements from CBS for example and all this comes at

17:58 as one owner of CBS, Sherry Redstone is about to hand off to a new owner David Elliston. Excuse me, David Ellison and his company Skydance Media there have been speculation raging online for the last two weeks about whether Skydance was going to try to push Colbert out In fact, this had been such a hot topic that Colbert came back from vacation on Monday and he made jokes about it. He said he had a new mustache and so the new owners wouldn't be able to find him. So on Monday, Colbert was joking about possibly being in danger. On Wednesday, he found out his show is being canceled today and announced it. And this all takes effect next May Aaron. So he does have one more season but this means one of these staunchest Trump critics on television will be leaving

18:39 And you know, you did the exact same thing that I did. It's like huh? First of all we heard 2.1 million people watching 200 people on staff and I don't think those are shared resources You got the studio and everything it's every single day and you know i did the same thing like what what's in the demo And the demo is, it was like I think you had 200 thousand in the newsletter. I think I came up with 230-231 thousand? We have more people in the demo on this podcast!

19:15 Yeah, and they're losing. Corey, this is it I read...I thought I wrote up a fairly good analysis in the newsletter people should be a subscriber if they don't get it that they don't but they mentioned as they lost four... They've been losing 40 million dollars a year on this show There's your issue right there And there's your issue and then numbers suck If he gets 2 million viewers, Gutfeld gets at least 3 and he only has 60 million households and they have 300 million households. Doesn't make any sense. Gutfeld's got 30 people, he's got 200... Even that is too much, thirty people!

19:57 Probably. For that show, someone to polish his shoes? I mean what do you do with 200 people?! I have no idea what you do with 200 people and then if it all traces back to Johnny Carson...I have his numbers he would typically was doing 17 million a show up to 45 million a show as opposed to 2 million It's untenable, it's stupid. And they're making a big fuss... By the way I do have Colbert's total Yeah we have that We got that The whole thing? Yeah yeah i had the whole thing but I clipped it way down because there was too much hooten and aside I took the asides out and I took the hoots out Okay can I just say one thing? You say whatever you want Say two things No just say one thing if thats okay

20:47 Late Night lost their entire audience during the writer's strike. Everybody got on TikTok at night, it was the height of TikTok and they never came back and why would they? It's much more entertaining than to hear him just gripe and moan and watch two segments with a film clip The format is old, it's beat As I point out in the essay The format was started by Steve Allen in 1954 and has not changed since. That's 70 years!

21:24 of the same old, same old. No wonder it's dead! Yeah and you know what? It's all pre-interview questions so hey um you had a funny thing happen to you uh this week tell me about that The pre interview question ruined the show Yes which is exactly why Adam and John do not talk to each other outside of the show yeah we wouldn't anyway no for obvious reasons All right I'll play the whole opening thing then This is my partner This is Colbert I think it was Monday he opened with this bitching about this. And, I want to point out one other thing... This idea that this $16 million deal where they caved to Trump's lawsuit was part of getting Sherry Redstone her Skydance

22:15 They had to do this to get the Skydance thing to go through because administration was good squash it. Otherwise, did ministration that Trump administration was never going to quash this? This was Larry Ellison's son that runs Skydance. Larry Ellison is a huge Trump supporter if he wants to do a merger with Paramount. The Trump administration is not going to stop at whether Colbert there or not. Yeah and I'll give him this though If you're polishing up the product to sell it, you probably want to get rid of the $40 million a year loss. Loser? Yeah! It's like hey we'll take care of Colbert and we'll get rid of all the other losing things

23:00 We'll take care of you. That's what you do. Hey, here is the opening monologue polished up. My parent corporation Paramount paid Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his 60 minutes lawsuit. As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network I am offended and i don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help. This settlement is for a nuisance lawsuit Trump filed claiming that 60 Minutes deceptively edited their interview with then-candidate Kamala Harris last fall. Paramount knows they could have easily fought it because in their own words the lawsuit was completely without merit! Unlike the payoffs from ABC and Twitter, Paramount's settlement did not include an apology

23:46 Instead, that's good. Instead the corporation released a statement where they said you may take our money but you will never take our dignity You may however purchase our dignity for the low low price of 16 million dollars We need to cash Now I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles It's big fat bribe Because this all comes as Paramount's owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance. And some of the TV typers out there are blogging that once Skydance gets CBS, The new owners desire to please Trump could put pressure on late night host and frequent Trump critic Stephen Colbert I guarantee you he already knew it was happening when he did that

24:35 He already knew 90% certainty that his show was good, that the late night shows, the franchise is going to go away. He had nothing to lose. Well maybe not but like somebody pointed out in one of the other shows is If you're me, you can say whatever you want about the networks because Letterman used to go after NBC and Carson always made jokes. As long as your make if you're making tons of money who cares? Say whatever you want no cares but if you lose in 40 million that's probably enough so then we get

CHAPTER 05 / 28 Discussion

Chris Murphy, Censorship Claims Over Colbert Cancellation

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut claimed the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show is evidence of a "censorship state" under Donald Trump. Murphy argued that Paramount is silencing critics to ensure the Trump administration approves its merger with Skydance Media. The hosts dismiss these claims, citing the show's poor ratings and high production costs as the primary drivers for the network's decision.

chris murphy· connecticut· censorship· paramount· skydance· donald trump· merger

25:16 The out actually had one of the oh by the way, the other number was it's a hundred million dollars a year to produce that show That's a lot of money. We so there was a Conversation with the podcasting 2.0 group and we at what that group? We only discuss you know, the podcasting stuff. And in fact I discourage it and remind people like, you know can you take your political stuff somewhere else? Because the political opinions vary widely and we get along pretty well but then so one guy he says... He posted the notice of oh this is insane! It's like Colbert Trump critic Colbert show getting cancelled

26:05 And then so the follow-up is, ah John Stewart another critic of rapists felon Trump. Will they silence Kimmel next? And so I pop in and said hey look 200 people 2.1 million viewers do the math and then it comes back and Then it's like why are you defending Rapist pedophile Trump! I'm like, you know what? I'm out once hit me up on The Blue Sky bro, and I'll talk to you over there It's just, it's like what is wrong with you? You don't you understand basic numbers and here's Chris Murphy Democrat representative from Connecticut on his very important Instagram. So I want to tell you why the cancellation of Stephen Colbert show matters so much we

26:53 We are on the precipice of entering a censorship state in which Donald Trump is using the powers of the federal government in order to erase criticism from the airwaves. What's happening at CBS right now is bone chilling. This parent company, Paramount, is trying to get a merger approved and they need that merger be approved by the Trump administration. And so in a variety of different ways, Paramount is providing monetary and political favors to Donald Trump. First they settled the totally bogus lawsuit that they would have won in a walk-in court that was filed against them by Trump. They essentially just paid him $16 million personally.

27:37 Then, Paramount went to 60 Minutes their flagship news program and told them to stop criticizing Donald Trump so much. Why? Because they need this merger approved. That's not what they said from what I heard but okay... And then finally they have now canceled Stephen Colbert show knowing that Stephen Colbert was a nightly thorn in the side of Donald Trump This is all clearly designed to get their merger approved millionaire and billionaire owners and investors who are already filthy rich can become even more filthy rich. Oh, blame it on the rich! This is what happens when these massive corporations control the flow of information

28:16 at the same time that you have an administration that is shameless about using the official powers given to them by the Constitution and by statute in order to compel political loyalty from the owners of those media companies. This is a really, really dangerous moment. Stephen Colbert didn't get thrown off the air because he wasn't doing well. He was the highest rated show on TV late night. Very likely, because Paramount and its owners are trying to get rich off of this merger. And Donald Trump has made it clear to them and everybody else in the media space that if you want any favors from me then you have to silence my critics on your platforms." So this is what I love so much about it because it folds into the whole PBS NPR defunding

NPR and PBS Defunding, Donald Trump Rescissions Package

Congress approved a $1.1 billion rescissions package requested by President Donald Trump, effectively clawing back two years of federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Experts warn that up to 80 local public radio stations could shut down, particularly in rural areas. The hosts argue that NPR's claim that federal money is only 1% of their budget contradicts the "dire" warnings currently being issued by public media advocates.

npr· pbs· corporation for public broadcasting· donald trump· rescissions· local news· funding

29:09 is here's a guy who probably gets more traction from this one post including 800,000 plus people hearing on the No Agenda show. It was like whoa they're controlling the flow of information man oh really? It's like no, I think CBS was pretty smart to do this now because it came at the right moment where you know Trump man He wants to shut down in the flow of information to NPR and PBS Relations between Donald Trump and the press have been tense since he first became president I'm not going to give you a question. You are fake news. In mandate number two, the U.S. president has multiplied lawsuits against news organizations criticizing their coverage and the latest case he's opposing Rupert Murdoch

30:00 and the Wall Street Journal for publishing a story about his friendship with child sex offender and alleged sex trafficker of underage girls Jeffrey Epstein. Trump says the story is fake, and deliberately damaging but the publisher is standing by it refusing to cave into pressure. In some of the previous cases news companies chose to settle like ABC and Paramount who owns CBS. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders says the U.S. president has a clear strategy to weaken the press similar to ones used in other countries this includes the defunding of public media, smearing journalists

30:45 and taking measures against reporters who use words he does not approve of. US news agency AP has been banned from White House briefings since they refused to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. At a time where we've never had more media in all of human civilization... where everybody has a podcast, everybody's on TikTok, everybody is on Instagram. Where the president is being dragged by his own fans of MAGA! He's not controlling any flow of information you dopes?

31:23 But, oh of course NPR defunding. What will we do in an emergency in Republican states? Public radio and television stations will start to lose some of their funding in October after Congress approved a rare rescissions package requested by President Donald Trump that claws back 1.1 billion dollars previously allocated for public media That sum is all of the federal funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was set to receive over the next two years. That money is supposed to help fund 1,500 locally owned and operated stations in addition to NPR and PBS but experts who study the local news landscape cautioned the move could have dire effects. Tim Franklin runs the Local News Initiative at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University he says

32:10 somewhere between 40 and 80 local public radio stations could be forced to shut down across the country, leaving the communities they serve with limited access to critical information. We are not going to waver in our mission which is to deliver independent local journalism that we think is really important for our democracy WBEZ is more insulated from the cuts than rural stations. It'll lose 6% of its funding and it's stepping up membership drives hoping it won't have to limit community events to make up the difference Other stations across the state are anticipating budget cuts up to 50 percent. A gap listeners or sponsors may not be able to bridge This is a huge disruption and the public media that you knew yesterday will not be the public media that you know tomorrow Heather Norman is president of Illinois Public Broadcasting Council She says some communities may start to see consolidation with less local coverage And she notes there are families who may not have access to cable No access!

33:09 who depend on the work of public media. When we were in Springfield for our legislative day, person after person came up to our table and said my child learned by watching PBS. Yeah now... And became a tran. There's never been a better time in history in the past 20 years to start a hyper local podcast This hole in the media landscape is so big you could swing a 747 around in it. But you need something because all the local newspapers have gone. It's all gone or its tarred like we have one paper here, The Fredericksburg Standard Radio Flyer Post Gazette

33:54 It's all just left, left wing. No it's junk. It's no good. Left-winged if it's even that good some don't even are you even left or right wing they're nothing they don't even do any reporting but there was some good some text one of the Texas guys I didn't get a clip of it going on about this NPR local all important it is One of your boys down there said, you know I was around the area when the flood started to hit and it was all the local stations that were talking about it. NPR was playing some crap from Washington DC they played nothing they gave us no warnings They did...they were just so unlocal as ridiculous

34:35 And NPR themselves say it was 1% of their budget. Why is anybody making a fuss about this? Because Donald Trump is trying to stop the flow of information that is important to our democracy! Vote Democrat! NPR themselves said its one percent I know, why are you fighting me bro? Im fighting YOU...bro Don't fight me bro thats not the vibe on this show The mood The mood yes By the way, since you brought up Larry Ellison I was shocked and appalled by a statement he made. I guess we missed this? There must have been some kind of conference or when they launched Stargate and what was it $500 billion were put into this thing

Larry Ellison, AI Surveillance Drones and Police Monitoring

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison proposed a future where AI constantly records and monitors citizens and police officers to ensure "best behavior." Ellison suggested using autonomous drones to replace high-speed police chases and monitor shopping centers. The hosts criticize this vision as dystopian and point to the failure of current law enforcement in cities like Oakland, where rampant crime recently forced the closure of an In-N-Out Burger.

larry ellison· oracle· ai· surveillance· drones· police· oakland· in-n-out burger

35:27 There is real building going on in West Texas, but I don't know about 500 billion. Listen to what Larry Ellison touts as the benefits of AI for our society which now he is partially funding. Listen to this! The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording watching and recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. And it is unimpeachable, the cars have cameras on them I think we have a squad car here some place but those kind of applications using AI if you can use AI and were using AI to monitor the video so if that altercation had occurred in Memphis The chief of police would be immediately notified

36:25 It's not people that are looking at those cameras, it is AI that is looking at the camera. No no no! You can't do this. That would be like a shooting. That's going to be immediately an event that will immediately... An alarm is gonna go off and we're gonna have supervision. In other words every police officer is gonna be supervised at all times And the supervision will, and if there's a problem AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person. Whether it is the sheriff or chief for whomever we need to take control of this situation We have drones If there something going on in shopping center I'll stop A drone goes out way faster than police car There are no reasons for high speed chases You shouldn't have high speed chases between cars

37:15 No, you just have a drone follow the car. I mean it's very very simple and then new generation of autonomous drones And then have the drone shoot the car with a missile but what kind of Predator drone yeah, okay dystopian world does Larry Ellison go fly? You know this is a guy who doesn't talk about not leaving the house Yeah For one thing, Oakland. Let's just look at Oakland with or without AI there'll be a robbery on Hagenberger it takes 45 minutes to an hour for the cops to show up if they show up. A lot of times the Oakland merchants always say they never show up. They don't show up! Or the fact that Oakland is the only place that had in and out burger closed in the entire state of California because there was so much crime in and around the In-N-Out Burger

38:08 which is at the intersection of the freeway and Hagenberger Road, a major major intersection. And now that CEO is leaving California... Yes I don't have a clip going on about it but she's the CEO and she's moving the entire corporate headquarters to Tennessee to one of their little towns there Franklin to be on it, too. To be specific. Yep! She's moving to Franklin Tennessee and they're gonna use their uh...and they may start moving in-n-out burgers further east And she says it's almost impossible to do business in California. That's Gavin Newsom and the Democrats, they don't want you doing business here they wanted it be a communist state Yes and you wanna stay there? It's amazing! It's just...it's a cycle. It's gonna be dynamite when these guys get back when the cycle goes the other way is going crazy Will we outlive this cycle as the question Well yeah, that's a real problem think about that but okay I'm hanging in there it gives me hope

39:08 Hope and change is coming everybody. Hope and change, yeah so Ellison I don't know what he's thinking this is nuts none of this has worked none of this is even close to being accurate the way police work it's just dumb but okay that's a nice thought I guess not even a nice thought its kind of sinister It's very sinister oh you said have a drone yeah what's gonna happen if you live in a nice community you know, a gated community with your multi-million dollar home and you'll have private police force. Everybody else gets Larry Ellison's drone following them. Well I'm still waiting for the day... well for one thing i'm still waiting for two things to happen which will eventually in the future one is real drone warfare where 1 million drones attack something that would be kind of hard to fend off no matter what you do

40:04 And then the other one is like you're sitting in the office here, I'm under my house and then there's a drone just hovering outside the window looking at me. Yeah That happens all the time now You can go on your favorite app there TikTok and you can see people shooting drones all the time Some yokel is flying his drone around the neighborhood and people start shooting at it Which by the way I would do too Yeah, that's what you want to do. It was good like skeet shooting get a shotgun put birdshot in it because they have a spray and I'll give you a white or give you maybe a three foot area garbage can size yeah well eventually gets out there way out there and it you should be able to take out a drone at distance anyway I'm just appalled appalled at Ellison I'm not

CHAPTER 08 / 28 Discussion

Jeffrey Epstein Grand Jury Testimony, Donald Trump Records Release

President Donald Trump called for the release of all Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimony following reports in the Wall Street Journal about their past relationship. New York Times correspondent Luke Broadwater notes the two were close in Palm Beach until a 2004 real estate rivalry over an oceanfront mansion ended their association. Trump's base has reportedly demanded full transparency to prove he was not involved in Epstein's criminal activities.

jeffrey epstein· donald trump· grand jury· luke broadwater· palm beach· real estate· wall street journal

41:03 He's just he might as well. Just be you know Sitting there and talking to himself with the drool cup well I caught it so There is the drone Yeah, here's the drone So let's play these analysis clips of them because they did bring up the part where they're talking about Trump in And his connection to Epstein oh yeah specifically Which the media cannot stop talking about. No, it's because they think they got something on them and they think something is happening but I want to play this is a little... This was kind of counter-programming for PBS's ran yesterday they talked to a New York Times guy about the connection between Trump and Epstein and it brings up

41:55 point of information that I think is interesting. President Trump said today he wants all Jeffrey Epstein grand jury testimony made public as he continues to spar with parts of his political base over his handling of the matter before we continue isn't the whole point of a grand jury that's never made public or am i mistaken on that? It can be made public. But you're right, when you go into a grand jury it's a secret proceeding. Yes! It's like...it's a secret court. See? It's like a star chamber and if I'm also not mistaken the grand jury is where you go to indict the ham sandwich

42:41 Yeah. Because a grand jury, you can basically get any kind of testimony out there that you want and then the grand jury will go yeah we should probably pick that guy up off the street. That's basically what a grand jury does. I'm just making sure i understand the grand jury because it sounds so official. Grand Jury! You get a badge by the way? You get a grand jury badge and you can use it, you can flash it at cops when it comes to getting pulled over for something. People have their grand jury badge in their wallet Is that like a PBA card? A PBA card? Professional Bowlers Association? No there's no need to be a bowler Police Benevolence Association I think its more like those little courtesy badges which I have a couple Yeah thats what im saying Its like a PBA cards the same thing

43:33 Yeah, the courtesy badge you can carry in your wallet. Could I get a little courtesy from you, Ossipher? And the way it works because of that one...I've only used it once and I was in Santa Barbara area or someplace and they had my highlights on and turn him off, and a cop goes by. He swings around and pulls me over." And so I said driver license... So I opened my wallet in clear view of his flashlight was at night obviously, and he sees the courtesy badges they're little bitty things are only about like a lapel badge basically yeah basically but it's you know carry them around and he says what's that?

44:17 He said, what's that in your mouth? And I said that's a...I was uh.. I did some work for um and i just discussed the where the badge came from. Uh-huh. And he recognized it. He says yeah well hey you had your highlights on don't do it again and he gets my thing back So I had a PBA card which is like a business card with an embossed little shield on it and I got pulled over in Montclair New Jersey And so back there, they're very good with this kind of scam. Yes and Officer Bob badge number three Montclair Police he sees the car says oh well I can give you some courtesy Adam that's your name Adam? Oh yeah you're on MTV right hey do you want to come to the morgue one day it's really cool

45:08 Wow, that's a lot better than we get out on the West Coast. Hey man you should come to the morgue! You can see the morgue man it's really cool We can go at 11 p.m.. Like hey officer Bob that's great Thanks I don't think I want to go to the morgue Wow That is fabulous invite Alright here we go At the same time Mr Trump acknowledged that even releasing all that testimony might not be enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics Earlier, Mr. Trump said that supporters pressing him to release more Epstein material are weaklings who have fallen for a Democratic hoax With some conservative critics saying now that the president is part of a cover-up, attention is turning to the relationship between the two men. New York Times White House correspondent Luke Broadwater has written about what's known about the Trump Epstein relationship. Luke how far back do these two men go? Well we know they've known each other since at least the late 1980s or 1990 when Jeffrey Epstein purchased property in Palm Beach

46:12 Um... Shortly thereafter, the two men became friendly. They ran in the same circles. They were both from New York. They were both rich. They both had a love for nightlife and for attending flashy parties and being surrounded by women. And so for about 15 years as best we can tell they were pretty tight that Trump flew on Epstein's project Palm Beach in New York at least seven times And it isn't until 2004 when they really have a falling out, when they become rivals over real estate property in Florida. They both wanted the same oceanfront mansion and

46:57 Donald Trump and Epstein sort of become rivals or even enemies after that. And after that break, after the break over the real estate did they ever get back together or was that it? Not as best we can tell there's no public record of them interacting after about 2004 It was my understanding that Epstein Cozying up to the teenage girls at Mar-a-Lago and he kicked them out. What happened to that part of the story? That part of the story is would seem be something of a Trump creation Oh, it's not true Well I don't know whether this true or not but The New York Times guy doesn't see it that way But he says the breakup took place in 2004 with this dispute over some property that both of them wanted

47:45 But let's play the rest of these and I have my point of information. And Trump himself, after Epstein died in jail said he hadn't talked to him in 15 years and we haven't found any evidence that contradicts that? What was his reaction or public reaction when Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking in 2019? Well, he tried to distance himself from any connection to Epstein and he called him a creep. There have been times when they call for full investigation there've been times where he tried to suggest maybe Democrats were involved in wrongdoing and connection to Epstein. And there have been other times when he sort of hedged and said he didn't want everything out, and that he believed maybe innocent people could be unfairly maligned. He even expressed sympathy for Ms. Maxwell who was

48:39 Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend who is now serving a prison sentence for helping him with his sex trafficking ring that she was convicted of then and is doing a 20 year prison sentence currently. Okay, so let's go to the last clip and I'll bring it up You say he was sort of ambivalent about releasing this stuff during the campaign, but it was certainly a big part of the MAGA base that was supporting him. And now he's trying to get them to move on. Do you think they will?

49:17 It doesn't seem like it. You know, he famously bragged he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and wouldn't lose any supporters. This seems to be the one issue though where he's really put himself in a political fix his base has been adamant that all these files be released if you look at sort of right wing message boards or social media posts Really ardent supporters of Donald Trump are turning on him over this issue. They're saying he's becoming, you know like the swamp, he's part of a coverup and so him saying move on does not appear to be working maybe it's working with some of the Republicans on Capitol Hill maybe it's working with you know a few talk show hosts

50:02 But by and large, the base seems to be demanding that every piece of information about Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes come out. As you know there's widespread belief that there were rich and famous men who abused women along with Jeffrey Epstein, and people want to see those men brought to justice. And today it has really only been Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell who have faced any legal repercussions Okay, your analysis John C. Dvorak... Well it's not an analysis the point of information which is that the recent scandal supposedly that was run out of The Wall Street Journal was a note that was given to Epstein for his birthday It was put in a binder and I guess it was bound as though it couldn't have been unbounded and rebound by the CIA let's say That note supposedly some lewd note that he made a lot of sexual

50:58 Points or something. Well, I mean the exact text was let every day be a secret a beautiful secret Yes some bullcrap that note is dated 2006 How does that jive without in-depth reporting by an operation? It doesn't like Trump and they say that there's no connection between Trump after in Epstein after 2004 how does the 2006 document fit into this scheme of things if point of information. I thought it was 2012 when that note went, that was... No my understanding is 2006 but it's still after 2004. Yeah. 2004 is the cutoff point according to all the research we've seen no evidence he goes on about

CHAPTER 09 / 28 Discussion

Pam Bondi, Alleged Trump Birthday Note to Epstein

Attorney General Pam Bondi is moving to release grand jury records to counter a Wall Street Journal report regarding a lewd birthday note allegedly sent by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The note reportedly featured a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman with a signature mimicking pubic hair. The hosts question the authenticity of the document, noting discrepancies in the timeline of Trump and Epstein's falling out.

51:39 That Trump and Epstein had anything to do with each other after 2004. How does that be 2006 or 12? Whatever the year well, how does that fit into the scheme of it doesn't it's a fake but even then he brought he Let's just say he did it we drew up a naked lady And he put in there happy birthday I think I have they have the text here. I think this is both This is CNN breaking news. Breaking News! We begin with the breaking news, President Trump is taking a big step forward in revealing details, details of the self-trafficking case against Jeffrey Epstein He's now authorizing the Attorney General of The United States Pam Bondi to produce and I'm quoting now any and all pertinent

52:26 grand jury testimony close quote. The Justice Department says it will go to court today to seek that public release even the president's loyal followers have demanded the administration make good on its promise to share more information and new this morning, the President and his allies are lashing out at the Wall Street Journal reporting that Epstein's friends and family associates sit in body letters for a birthday album 2003 and according to the journal one of those letters was three That's what they're saying now. This is CNN though.

53:08 People were saying, it's not Donald Trump. It was Donald Barr! Donald Barr Bill Bars dad who hired him? It was Donald Donald Donald Barr Donald Barr died in 2004 people so no it didn't happen then either And it is so graphic the article in The Wall Street Journal describes I thought Babylon Bee did the best They had a headline Donald Trump Typed 8008 on a calculator turn it upside down and showed it to Epstein better this way And I'm quoting now. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman which appears to be hand-drawn with

53:50 With a heavy marker. Heavy marker! Ah, heavy marker! Heavy marker that's it? No it has to be that way because you have to envision him holding the thing like a fist with a crayon Because he is a big dope Now he uses a sharpie for all of his signatures I think that's the reference but okay It's the woman's breasts Man. And the future president's signature is a squiggly Donald below her waist mimicking pubic hair! The letter concludes, happy birthday! Oh no! Hair! May every day be another wonderful secret close quote I mean what? What in the world is this?!

CHAPTER 10 / 28 Discussion

Stacey Williams, Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Trump

Former Sports Illustrated model Stacey Williams alleged that Donald Trump groped her at Trump Tower in 1993 while Jeffrey Epstein watched and smiled. The Trump campaign denied the story, calling it a "contrived" political attack. The hosts discuss the broader culture of "elites" and the use of sex workers at corporate events, referencing historical tech industry parties during the Comdex era.

54:31 If this is just, it's like... Okay. First of all I don't know why the president- He has filed a 10 billion dollar lawsuit Why does he even care if not to make it the distraction of the week? I don't understand any other reason To file a ten billion dollar lawsuit over this How is that even Let's say its not his How is that defamatory? Pubic hair! What in the world is going on?! And then of course we've got... CNN dragging out every story we can. Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend speaking out tonight, Stacey Williams a former Sports Illustrated model who dated Epstein in the early 90s has spent time with both Epstein and Donald Trump together in one disturbing alleged incident which Williams went public with last year before the presidential election William says Trump groped her in front of Epstein at Trump Tower in 1993 here's what she told our Sunlens are Fadi

55:34 when she first spoke to someone. Sorry. I froze! Williams also claimed that Epstein and Trump looked at each other and smiled during the alleged incident, which Williams says she now believes was coordinated in quote some kind of weird twisted game. Trump denied Williams's allegations through his campaign at the time which said in part quote it's obvious this fake story was contrived by Kamala Harris' campaign

56:25 So, of course actually Naomi Wolf wrote a pretty decent essay on her substack which goes back to your boy because she also had Brockman was her publicist and the millionaire and then later billionaire dinners. And how all of these scientists you know...and this is goes a bit about what Weinstein said is that Epstein had his hands in all kinds of technology and scientific stuff Whether he was trying to steer it towards, I don't know gene therapies. It doesn't really matter but in the grand jury testimony there is going a lot of people are going to be implicated because

57:04 because they either went down to a conference at the island and maybe, you know I can certainly see you got a bunch of nerds down there. Hey! Hey guys look at these girls! Yeah but you don't know what's going on... Well I should mention that there used to be-I wish i could remember the name of the company but it was something of a startup and it was a chip company And during the Comdex era They used to do these big, I never found out about this. Never went to one of these parties because I think they would have been a hoot but... You didn't get invited is what you're saying? Well that's probably the situation. Yes. Well I wasn't invited because they don't, sure wouldn't be invited because I was a writer and this was a sales kind of thing. They were trying to sell their product to people but I knew a guy that went to it all the time

57:58 And he says all this guy did, the CEO was well connected with underground and he just loaded it. It was all whores! It's a party of hookers. Yeah. So they bring all these guys in and they're... All these hooker would be taken to different rooms around whatever hotel they were in And that's how they did their business. Their whole business was basically getting these guys to sign off on using these guys' chips with hookers, and so what I can't... It's the oldest trick in the book! Well it's not, yeah it's obvious if you can pull it off and they pulled it off. The stock went public and then got bought by somebody else and next thing you know, I don't know, I can't even remember the name of the company but I do remember the story

58:45 And because this guy, my friend who went to these parties he said it was hilarious to watch these guys get they all thought these half of these guys that were the buyers didn't know they were even hookers. They thought these girls were interested in them! And then five seconds later... Hey look at this picture! Here's the thing that is just not in the discussion. Actually, let me play one more clip this morning.

59:21 Martha Raddatz, ABC This Week. Oh my God! We gotta keep talking about it? We can't stop?! I'm joined now by GOP Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee who has called for more transparency in the Epstein case Good morning congressman you've co-sponsored the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act which would force the House to vote on whether or not to release all government files on Epstein What exactly do you think the government is withholding here By the way, can the House do that? Can they supersede the Department of Justice and say release everything no matter what? I don't know that they can. Hmm... But I have no idea it doesn't sound right. It doesn't sound right to me either but anyway they're all virtue signaling

CHAPTER 11 / 28 Discussion

Tim Burchett, Epstein Files Transparency Act

Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee discusses his support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act and the release of grand jury records by AG Pam Bondi. Burchett warns that flying on Epstein's plane does not automatically imply criminal behavior and expresses concern for the privacy of victims. He compares the secrecy of the Epstein case to the Kennedy assassination and uses the phrase "dadgum" repeatedly during the interview.

58:45 And because this guy, my friend who went to these parties he said it was hilarious to watch these guys get they all thought these half of these guys that were the buyers didn't know they were even hookers. They thought these girls were interested in them! And then five seconds later... Hey look at this picture! Here's the thing that is just not in the discussion. Actually, let me play one more clip this morning.

59:21 Martha Raddatz, ABC This Week. Oh my God! We gotta keep talking about it? We can't stop?! I'm joined now by GOP Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee who has called for more transparency in the Epstein case Good morning congressman you've co-sponsored the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act which would force the House to vote on whether or not to release all government files on Epstein What exactly do you think the government is withholding here By the way, can the House do that?

It doesn't sound right to me either but anyway they're all virtue signaling

1:00:09 Well, that's the million-dollar question ma'am. Yeah man! Here is a million dollar question I'm gonna answer it for you The question is what's that in your mouth man? That's the question. Well, that's the million dollar question ma'am I applaud the president and Attorney General Bondi for wanting to release the grand jury files. I believe that'll pretty much cover everything, but I would give everybody a caveat or that's a big word but a warning that just because somebody flew on a plane doesn't mean they're a dadgum pedophile you know? Dad gum! I have a lot of wealthy friends. This guy's great! I've not heard him... He's a dadgum pedophile, tell you right now he is what? A dadgum pedophile? Because i got a lot of rich friends and they fly on each other's jets all the time because somebody flew on a plane doesn't mean they're that dumb pedophile you know

1:01:01 I have a lot of wealthy friends. I aspire to be wealthy, but I've taken a vow of poverty because my daughter rides horses This is my favorite! What? I aspire to be wealthy but... Yeah, we bought a horde of horses A whole buncha- a fleet of them And now it's on by broke So I can't be rich cause my daughter she loves riding them horses Them quarterhorses they cost like a million bucks apiece But I have a lot of wealthy friends and they fly on people's planes, and their plane will be down And they'll say hey we're going somewhere And uh... We got an extra seat. Do you want to go? And they don't even know the person on the plane so You know that if i had my own plane i wouldn't be like who are you no

1:01:44 If I was wealthy and had my own dadgum plane, I wouldn't have anybody that didn't know on my plane. And we got an extra seat if you want to go but they don't even know the person on the plane so that's one of things I worry about too because President Trump... Sounds like somebody took a plane ride! That he flew in his dadgum plane. Dadgum? Dadgum plane again?! I worry about some innocent people. There are over 1,000 people this dirtbag apparently offended And currently I believe the devil's dealing with him. But uh, some of those innocence names being out on that too as well.

1:02:30 That's a possible show title, I think. Dad Gum. I wrote it down as the show title! Dad gum... Do you want to hear more from this guy? Oh, I love this guy's voice! Entertaining all of a sudden You think unsealing the grand jury records is enough for you now? Well ma'am- I think its a start. I don't ever think we're going to get to the bottom of anything All of it Ma'am Look at the Kennedy assassination Do you actually believe Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy from the front and the back, and this magic bullet appears an hour later on a hospital gurney in an emergency room. This town doesn't give up its secrets very easy. And I'd warn people too now we're getting ahold of this stuff

1:03:14 What happened the last four years under the Biden administration? Senator Dick Durbin blocked my senator, Marsha Blackburn who valiantly fought to get those records out and acted pretty much like there wasn't anything in the media backed him up on it. And now all of a sudden the media thinks they've got something and it's leveled towards Trump but you know, my history with this issue goes back along way I spent 16 years in the Tennessee General Assembly and attempted to pass some of the toughest laws in the country, some of the first ICAC fund anti-violent crimes against children. I promoted the death penalty chemical castration a child molesters. A lot of those bills were ruled unconstitutional." I don't mess around you know i'm from Tennessee so uh... So the CEO of In-N-Out Burgers moving did this guy's state she's from the San Francisco Bay Area originally? No!

1:04:10 This is not gonna work out. That gum... Native California, you know, you can make an out burger I don't know if you can stay in Tennessee that long. Is your dad going to be an out burger, you make them from grass fed beef or do you finish them off with some grain? Or just feed him snicker bars? I want to know! So you no longer believe... That was pretty good actually, I'm surprised at myself. You're actually have it, you nailed it. Or are demanding that all the Epstein files be released No ma'am, I want them released but my warning is this. Let's make sure that we're not releasing the names of some of these who are then children now adults that were abused by this dirtbag Epstein and let's make sure we don't release things that have innocence names on them That has been my concern with the original

1:05:06 I thought they were dragging their feet in the beginning under the Biden administration. They never did anything and now all of a sudden it's become a political issue, it's not a political issue with me ma'am. I've held the hands of people that have been molested and they carry a life sentence- I'm sorry, you have been very critical of Pam Bondi during this and the president said he thinks she's handled it well. So where is the disconnect there? And do you think she should resign? Well no ma'am, I think she's doing a fine job. I think her communication with us early on was not as good... The binder for instance that she put out, I was very excited about that but then I found the contents of it

1:05:48 And I think she blundered in the beginning. I really do as most Americans do because those white notebook that those young folks, those influencers walked out with... Them dadgum influencers walked out with? That was a hoax?! That was it! Then when I started digging into it and I'm, uh...I like my postings on Twitter or X but that's about the limit of my computer knowledge. But even I could find those things on the internet that were already out there so I think they blundered in the beginning but i think they're going to finish strong. Alright do you want to hear the last clip from this guy?

1:06:29 I wasn't even planning on playing at all. He's tormenting me with his- This guy is good, he's good! His voice is great. President Trump has started claiming this is all a hoax that it being perpetrated by the Democrats he says some of its own supporters who we labeled stupid and foolish Republicans you are obviously one of those people who wants this released You're stupid What your reaction to how president Trump handled it? Yes ma'am I'm not stupid It's his strategy. You know, everybody questions President Trump's strategy they said the big beautiful bill wasn't going to get on the 4th of July. Trump comes out and says I don't care when you put it out. I said I don't care if you put it out on July 40 or get the bill out.

1:07:12 and what happened? That guy we passed it on the 4th of July. He's just getting gum again. Cryptocurrency bill, my own Senator Haggerty has that bitcoin stuff had the genius act part of that then everybody said it was dead It wasn't going anywhere and there I am on a phone call in a meeting with our speaker and our whip Tom Emmert 10 or 12 fellow conservatives that had concerns about it and low and behold President Trump calls answers all of our questions and the bill passes, and he signed it on Friday. So I think to underestimate Donald J Trump is a mistake in this town and I think we're learning that. And that's his strategy.

1:07:54 Was I a little ticked off he said that stuff sure. I was but i'ma big boy, man I mean no big ball we're playing in the big leagues right now and you know I get criticized every day I get death threats on a pretty regular basis so that guy's about that thick right now. I think I can take a little criticism He's coming out with it here he's coming out with his all good is all good Tim Burchett Tim Burton of Tennessee. That guy's a star! Yeah, I think it is...I love the dadgum things he has been saying. But you know dad gum is one of these things like cripes. It's better this should be... Well because it's cuss word What's the dad what's the dad-gum vibe over there John? Is that dad gum move?

1:08:45 It's so it's a cuss word. Of course! It's like saying, you know the drop in the F-bomb constant or the various forms of damn Yes So it's just one of these substitutes that come in friggin' you know? I do not like people who say friggin'. We know what we mean... I like writing it Friggin'? Yeah, it's free when you're writing friggin FRI GG. I an apostrophe It has us just a nice Ring to it in print Okay Believe me. I just like the chance see I don't use it that much but when I use it

CHAPTER 12 / 28 Discussion

Child Trafficking, Media Sexualization of Children

A discussion on the "spiritual sickness" in America focuses on the high volume of child pornography uploaded daily and the historical sexualization of children in Hollywood, dating back to Shirley Temple. Claims are made regarding child trafficking networks operating through major beef processors and the 300,000 children reportedly missing under the current administration's border policies.

1:09:26 I like using it. The only thing he didn't do was, he didn't say y'all! I missed a y'all in there He didn't say y'all once! So here's the thing that is kind of being overlooked in all this and you know ever since before this show started I've been looking at these and I mentioned on the previous show Do True, The Rolodex Files...I've been around elites But this is when I was they burned a radio station down because of you yes, when I was think 17 And on the we had the pirate radio station and one of the guys and there's a story about your first wife and the Well won't even get into that story but anyway go on continue. What story is that? About the gabba goo The Gabba goo yeah never mind

1:10:16 I'm stumped. Oh, no! I can tell you that oh yeah No it wasn't the Gabagoo It was one of the royal members of the Dutch Royal Family this is before i knew her and they were doing a photo op and this member literal member of the royal family was rubbing up against her with a boner But there was no Gabba Goo, I don't recall that. Oh, I understood there'd be a Gabba Goo in it. No, I don't think... Gabba Goo! Do you spell that? G-O-B-B-A-Goo. Gabba, Gabba Goo. Gabba Goo!! Yeah, it's also Italian. I think it's a Ramones song. Anyway…

1:11:00 So, and I've been... back to my story. So I was 17 and we had this guy who sponsored the pirate radio station he had two clothing stores And he said yeah you know you're going into America i want you to record all the ads because I'm crazy about advertising I want to see how Americans do ads so I go to his house it's like a mansion in Amsterdam In Amsterdam itself comprised of like a whole city block And it was creepy, just creepy in general. I'm kind of like, oh what am i... and he was going to give me money to record these ads maybe I was 16 to record these ads then all of a sudden I see a Dutch minister of parliament riding a 10-speed bike in the house

1:11:46 I'm like, what in the world is this? And he was like hey you know you should come to the party later tonight. Yeah okay i think i'll pass on the party then it was just weird so when you get into this level of wealth and this level of fame and power people do crazy things that most normal people will get into What is it? Eyes wide shut. That stuff's for real people, people who are bored they can buy anything that's the kicker. They're bored. They can buy anything they can do anything so they get into these situations and every day all the kids are doing it then you wind up in these odd situations but yeah, you're in a satanic cult next thing you know

1:12:34 But what is not being discussed in all of this, and this is really a spiritual problem we have in America. is that there's 40,000 images of child pornography uploaded to the internet in America every single day. I'd be surprised if it wasn't every single minute And when i look at the culture we have The culture we've created going back to the 30s In Hollywood with Shirley Temple and war babies Shirley Temple in a bra highly sexualized And it never stopped, never stopped in Hollywood and everything that we have in our media. There are so many...and particularly advertising. So many trigger points have been examined and re-examined and young smooth skin, it makes people want to buy products. How do people get into this state?

1:13:36 How do they get into... if you just Google child pornography network arrested. Oh there's a good idea, google that everybody out there! Every month there are hundreds of people being arrested for this stuff it is right throughout our culture and I would like to see that conversation be discussed for once But you're not gonna say... By who? By Martha Raddatz for all I care. Or this daggum guy, you know, I see all this stuff! Yeah tell us more because that is the real problem Yeah, sure. Scientists wealthy people at least we don't have a state We don't have a building the no agenda should has never building that burned down so good there Your house maybe but my point is we need to look at our own culture And what it what how do we get to this point outside of the rich people? It's really sick. We are very very sick and I heard just the other day that

1:14:36 that a lot of this child trafficking is happening through some of the beef networks. I'll just keep it very vague because like, I don't have any proof of it so allegedly coming up through from South America through the big beef processors there's only three take your pick. There's four? In America only 3 And it's an ongoing train of just kids and underage boys and girls being trafficked throughout our country. But how did we get so sick? How do you get to the 300,000 missing kids from Biden administration? It's just the whole thing is in underground I don't know

1:15:25 That's what I'm saying this. This is the I'd rather have people be discussing that for hours like what is going on What is happening? How does this happen why is this everywhere in the world? What are we missing? Yeah, it's a different podcast It's a different podcast but just need to bring it up for my own this other podcast I think I will actually okay. I think I will it'll be cold should yeah, I think I should Yeah, because that conversation everyone's like oh Epstein, Epstein. But how about all the other victims that are never discussed? All right another podcast I'll start another podcast

1:16:02 Yeah, you're not podcasting enough. I need more podcasts in my life! Well thank you that's a good idea i'm gonna do that and i'm going to think about it okay yeah i think you should is god call you've been this not i'm not saying this as a uh flippant you're not being i'm not being flippant i i think you should because you've been doing this before we even started this podcast you've been on this kick i'll call it a kick about this with all the stuff in Holland and you just, you bitch and moan about it constantly. But you don't do the podcast? You haven't done a podcast about it? I think I should. And it's not just this there's lots of other things. Now it could be a true crime podcast! Oh goodness no... There is some money there. There's another thing when did we become obsessed with true crime that is the number one podcast category like we're not obsessed with

1:16:56 With stopping it. No, we're obsessed with listening about it. I want to hear how they kill them Screw podcasting on that. It's also if you think about it if you watch the over Over the air you don't do so much as I do over-the-air TV. There's at least three entire networks that do nothing but 24 7 Reruns of Dateline and all the other and true crime this in two crazy There's a network called true crime yeah, and they just play these documentaries And it's just and you they're all compelling there's always some nut

CHAPTER 13 / 28 Discussion

ChatGPT Induced Psychosis, AI Spiritualism

The hosts examine "ChatGPT induced psychosis," a condition where users believe AI chatbots are sentient beings or spiritual conduits. They cite cases of individuals being involuntarily committed after spiraling into delusions fueled by AI interactions. The discussion links this phenomenon to decades of pop culture preconditioning from films like *2001: A Space Odyssey* and *WarGames*, warning that users are being "biohacked" by the technology.

1:17:31 ball teacher in some town in Idaho. And it's just you want and this person got messed up and they killed a sister-in-law because of this and that. Wow, geez! Yeah well so somehow our minds have really just been corrupted I was thinking about this in regards to the chat bot which now... It has a name actually I didn't realize this. Chat what? The hair? No, no. The... What are you talking about? That one chat, the physical chat, the one that's a girl, that's got the anime girl. Annie? No, in general it's called chat GPT induced psychosis

1:18:12 Oh, you're talking about the condition. Yes and there's a lot of... I mean i had no idea so much had been written about it like people are being involuntarily committed and jailed after spiraling into chat GPT induced psychosis And what's interesting about it is that always winds up in the same kind of where people go nuts They believe that the chat GPT is a sentient being and they're communicating with the spiritual world. Every single one of these stories, except for the ones who are having sexual fantasies with them

1:18:53 Well, this is how different is this from the people that are notorious for thinking the TV is talking to them? Oh, it's secret messages. No, no, It's not but this is a whole different deal I mean, there's a billion people using these chatbots and yeah, I'm okay with Although there's no evidence that the actual productivity is there. I'm seeing people crying about their vibe coding going wrong and, oh my chat GPT deleted my production database! Okay so yeah and it's fine if you want to create AI voices and funny memes and that's all great but the psychosis part of people talking to their chat bots and being sucked in

1:19:38 And I realize that we have been so preconditioned for this. Going back to your favorite, Colossus. Colossus? Wasn't that the movie? The Colossus? The Forbidden Project? Yes! 1970... 2001 Space Odyssey. Yeah one of my faves. Space Odyssey This is all computers talking to people Tron war games of course yeah, yeah Terminator's the door but what was it? How was the name of the compute how hell can't close the door open the door no I'm sorry Dave Yeah that space. I'm not opening a dorm now Not gonna happen so War Games shall we play a game of thermonuclear war terminator

1:20:19 Short circuit was short circuit. Remember Johnny five is alive, the little cute robot. I remember that movie her of course 2013 mission impossible but then my favorite as I realized oh man Knight Rider everybody wanted to talk to their car. Hi, I'm sorry David I can't get there right now. I haven't started my engine yet max headroom Star Trek X-Files, Black Mirror... Mr. Robot I mean we have been so preconditioned for this that it's no wonder! Not to mention Star Trek they had the talking computer back in 1960s Yes computer

1:20:59 So it's, it doesn't surprise me. Anyway I would say if you're having conversations... Working! If you're having conversations with your chat GPT or any chat bot You have been biohacked and you need to check yourself. Working! Working! You need to check yourself this- you watch this is going to be This will be headline news within six months and then And of course, the... Whoa! We need to regulate this. No! No take the phones away from your kid put them in a drawer I'm all-in with you on this John Put it in a drawer You're all-in but you have not done it Because I.. But I am not a retard I don't..I don't..I'm not Boy are you calling me a retard? Yeah kind of No I mean It's like I can balance myself

1:21:53 You know, it's like I'm a boomer. I'm an adult boomer so I am not falling for this you got a nasty note I saw I did oh one of our producers said that you've sold out You should still represent yourself as a millennial. Now they've got nobody on the show to represent the millennials! No, I'm not a millennial, it'd be Gen X. Sorry, nobody to represent the Gen-X you're right Nobody to represent the Gen-X now that you've sold out and your just another boomer like John Go back go back your on the cusp! Go back to Gen-X! Go Back!! I didn't see anybody stepping up and defending me

1:22:33 Uh-uh. No? Oh, Gen Xers they can't... They haven't got enough backbone to do anything those Gen Xers. The Gen Xers are actually the cool ones! Everything after Gen X is weirdo. Nah, the Millennials are cooler I like the Z's, the Zoomers And that was your Boomer update Wait don't we have... I like the Zoomers We'd have this one You're over the hill Will be done sooner if you shut your mouth Okay boom I'm kind of embracing it now. Go with it, yeah! It's better. Because literally I posted that on X if you're having conversations with your chat GPT or any chat bot you've been biohacked the number one comment okay boomer. That's kinda trite at this point, cliched. You know the guy that I played... Come up with something new people The guy that I played on The Last Show

1:23:26 where he, uh...where the chat GPT all of a sudden became was channeling stuff to him from a spiritual nother world. Yeah that guy! And yeah so there were two other clips that went with that I didn't even play them because once he was like The chatbot said, well you need to eat some mushrooms and go to Sedona California. I figured even you wouldn't take it seriously after that So i got an email from somebody saying You didn't play the whole thing! The guy went to Sedona Oh is this...I got this email too Yeah And just like the guy was promised from his chat bot a red hawk appeared He said the guy was on shrooms

1:24:06 You could have said an angel will appear who would have believed it. Yes, true! But then this is one of our producers... Suggestibility I'm not saying this is real but you can't deny something is going on here There is some kind of connection Now hold on Some kind of connection You're getting to the-I think you've come close to a voice A new voice Oh oh I don't know if I can do it now What was the voice? It's the... I don't know how to describe it, but it's the anxious kind of freaky guy. Yeah. It's a type of freaky guy that is not like The Stoner. It's a freaky guy who's enthusiastic and nuts! You don't understand this is there something going on here they're getting downloads from another dimension

1:24:51 That's close. It was better before I said anything Yeah, you shouldn't have said anything Well in the... It'll come back to ya You have these things they'd you it's you channel them But I think that people are looking for some kind of actually in the legendary words of Lonnie Frisbee There's a whole generation out there just looking for God man That's what people are doing! They want some spiritual connection and oh Well, the chat GPT will provide it. That's the scary part I don't know is it scary or is it maybe a good thing? well Once you get once you get them hooked on the on the chat GPT Then you can go into the system and then control the masses and they'll all vote Democrat Well, that's what do you got to do? You gotta give him to vote Republican Nah, yeah this all-vote Democrat thing is a real issue hmm

CHAPTER 14 / 28 Discussion

The Genius Act, Stablecoin Regulation and Dollar Dominance

President Trump signed The Genius Act into law, providing regulatory clarity for the stablecoin industry. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stated the bill aims to buttress the dollar's status as a global reserve currency by creating an internet-native payment rail. The hosts note this allows countries like Russia to bypass the SWIFT system using dollar-backed stablecoins without traditional "Know Your Customer" (KYC) requirements.

genius act· stablecoins· scott besant· us treasury· swift· russia· crypto week

1:25:49 Anyway, that's what the schools have managed to pay off. Yeah. Um, so then we had not one, not two but three bills pass during crypto week crypto week I have a and of course you heard about this? Yes. Before you go on with crypto week, I just want to read it right here. Yeah. some email that came in. That you should be aware of, I don't know anything about it but it's an email from one of these things they end up blocking trade something or other investment stuff and he guy says this is important this is about Washington's first ever crypto week is here. And then goes on and on and then says

1:26:40 Larry Benedict's Bitcoin skimming strategy, this is something you should know about. Can make you 6x 9x and even I don't know why they skipped to 22x more money from the same bitcoin moves so you can make 6x so if you're doubling your money, you can even be 12 x it'd be 12 X or 22 which would be 40 a forty bang a forty bagger You know I'm just you want me to pass this for our forward this to you John. It's okay. You can ridicule me all you want I didn't really I'm not ridiculing you what is doing Benedict?

1:27:22 So crypto week was anything but about crypto. It was all about the stable coin! Today marks... This by the way is our Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besant and here we go. Today marks a seminal moment for digital assets and global dollar dominance with President Trump signing The Genius Act into law This bill provides the fast-growing stablecoin market with the regulatory clarity it needs to grow into a trillion dollar industry. Stablecoins represent a revolution in digital finance

1:27:57 The dollar now has an internet native payment rail that is fast, frictionless and free of middlemen. This groundbreaking technology will buttress the dollar status as a global reserve currency expand access to the dollar economy for billions across the globe and lead to a surge in demand for US treasuries which back stable coins. The Genius Act is a win-win-win for everyone involved stablecoin users, stablecoin issuers and the US Treasury Department. I want to thank President Trump for his visionary leadership in shepherding this bill into law and Congress for rapidly advancing this critical legislation

1:28:41 By expanding financial freedom and reinforcing dollar dominance, stable coins will play a critical role in making America great again. So couple things about this I'd like our people to know because it's a lot of misinformation. And I have a question... Go ahead! Can Russia use these things? Yes, in fact that is the intent. The intent is the dollar dominance that the stablecoin is used everywhere preferably outside of America but of course it will be used inside America So Russia can use these things so after being kicked off with SWIFT they can still do the same deals only they have to use stablecoin Even better than... But their deal would be the same And actually would be cheaper for the Russians because stablecoins system

1:29:27 is a, I would call it a workaround that is superior to SWIFT if it works. Oh! It works. It's already in place there are 400 million people using stablecoin. So this is the get the Russians back into the international global market? Everybody everybody now remember who runs SWIFT? Who runs SWIFT? Europe The EU run SWIFT we don't run SWIFT This is an FUEU So Russia, anybody can use the stablecoin and there is no KYC. This is a very important part of it. No Kentucky what? No your customer

1:30:12 So I can send you a stable coin or you can buy something for me and I don't have to know where that stable coin came from. This is a complete end around all of that stuff." Yeah, but don't you want to know your customer if you're a salesperson? Details my friend details! If you have 10 million dollars then you too can become a stablecoin issuer You have to report every month. You gotta say, okay we've got enough treasuries it's only for short-term treasuries so nothing over I think was it 70 days or something? Have it in one of these acts 90 maybe yeah So that's the Genius Act then they pass the Securities Clarity Act which says hey these aren't commodities except for Bitcoin and then

1:31:05 The most important one I don't think got signed, and that's the Anti-BDC Surveillance Act which is a way of saying well we don't want the Federal Reserve involved in our gambit so they can't all of a sudden produce a central bank digital currency which would then be an obvious surveillance coin. That was what you'd call it? What, sorry? That's what you'd call it. Yeah, surveillance coins. Spy coin But from what I understand, that is now going to be put into a different bill that the Senate is working on. So people are little wary about that but this is exactly what we discussed for months here. This is your new... We're moving from the petrodollar into the stablecoin dollar

1:32:02 And I think it's a very interesting move. We'll see what happens, have no idea if it is good or bad... I'm smelling another podcast! Yeah, we will have to cut this podcast by one week because I got all these other podcasts that I gotta do You're laughing but may not be that funny No you say the way I see it You could do these other podcasts, but it's like you're Keith Richards or your Mick Jagger doing solo albums. It doesn't make any difference. You gotta come back to the...

1:32:37 to the No Agenda show, because that's where the real action is. Mick Jagger had a pretty successful solo career and... Yeah but he doesn't go out on his solo career He doesn't pack in 100 thousand people at a time to do his solo act But I get that big advance on the label deal And i get to do songs with David Bowie So dancing in the streets So, I mean what about my... Is David Bowie still alive? No he's dead. But what about my artistic freedom John? This is not all about money! I know you think differently but for me it may just have to be able to talk about different things Yeah that way go out and do your little other podcasts Your little 2.0 podcast Your pedophile podcast

CHAPTER 15 / 28 Discussion

Steve Miller Band, Climate Change Tour Cancellation

The Steve Miller Band canceled a 31-concert North American tour, citing extreme weather risks including heatwaves and flooding. CNN's Bill Weir reported that rising insurance costs for outdoor festivals are making tours prohibitive. Critics suggest poor ticket sales may be the actual cause. The hosts mention Miller's membership in the Bohemian Grove and a recent wage theft lawsuit filed by workers at the exclusive club.

1:33:24 What are you gonna call the pedophile podcast anyway? I'm not going to do a pedophile podcast. That's really... You are setting me up for failure now by just saying that's what it is, I'm not gonna do that! I'm gonna talk about our sick culture. Show crime! There's the money. Guess what? I'm not gonna ask you for any help or advice. Dad, you shouldn't. I wouldn't either Speaking of people who are hanging on way too long to their careers and will say anything to not have to go out on the road. Alright, deadly flash floods in Texas ravaging storms in the northeast sweltering heat waves and all this the past month has brought a disastrous onslaught of extreme weather impacting every aspect of our lives even music! On Wednesday Steve Miller banned an iconic rock star

1:34:22 and band who has been performing since the 60s canceled his bands long-awaited 31 concert North American tour in an Instagram post Miller shared that I'm quoting now, the combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience. The band the crew unacceptable you can blame it on the weather. The tour is canceled. Okay first of all name two songs by Steve Miller Band Can You Name Two? Yeah, Mercury 49. Oh, obscure! Good one Well I used to hear him play it all the time He used to play free every Sunday at the park across from the police department in Berkeley when he had Boss Gags as his lead guitarist And so every...I saw him a million times

1:35:20 Macho City, Fly Like an Eagle. Yeah, he's got a bunch of stuff. He is also unknown to most people. Abracadabra? Yeah... Yeah. Hold on, this is... I've heard enough of Steve Miller band. It used to be the Steve Miller Blues Band originally and a lot of people don't realize he actually has his own camp at the Bohemian Grove. Doesn't surprise me that he's all into climate change He's blaming it on climate change Well he never said climate change, he said weather but they all said

1:36:01 Well, hold on. Hold on there's a second part to the story CNN's chief climate correspondent Bill Weir is joining us right now I mean... Here's my new podcast it's the Chief Climate Correspondent Podcast everybody! Bill that is saying a lot that weather is forcing the Steve Miller band to stop and end of the tour before it even gets underway And you know what, he has taken a beating online from skeptics who say actually it was ticket sales that made this decision and don't blame the weather on that. But this is a very real concern, especially in the outdoor festival industry. Bollinger Festival in Tennessee for the second time in the last four years was canceled because of flooding there they haven't announced dates for next year that's an ominous sign A bunch of smaller festivals have canceled this and the insurance rates like you may not believe Steve Miller or may not believe in climate change but insurance companies do

1:36:56 prices for promoters becoming prohibited. Some people call me the space cowboy. Yeah, some call me the gangster in love I'm on a jet airliner Come on man you could have you gave me obscure references Well that's because that mercury 49 song when you watched him live for years and years at the free concert He gave every Sunday

1:37:35 Yeah, that was always his key song he comes out with an album and they make it like psyche like is a psychedelic band when he never was They bring out the first album. That's all it's not on there It was always this kicker that was the song he finished with that was his favorite tune it was blues He was a blues band and all of us I became a psychedelic band I find that that was ridiculous sellout I'm gonna do a music podcast. That's what I'm gonna do them. That's you probably should So anyway, he has his own camp at the Bohemian Grove and it's got one of the biggest stages in the whole grove. And he does concerts for all the Bohemian guys. Really? Yeah! I've never been to one but this must be pretty spectacular. Yes you have been to one. You've been to a Bohemian Grove. Yeah but I didn't go to Steve Miller concert. This place is huge just like an enclave that's massive

1:38:31 Stages all over the place, it's all just entertainment all the time and drinking. It's a bunch of drunks! You know you are really only a few meetings away from being in all these stories I mean, somehow you didn't go to the billionaire dinner. Yeah no, I know what i'm doing! I'm staying...I'm in good shape here but here I'm a lowly podcaster nobody's throwing bricks through the window and there is nobody shoots at me so speaking of Bohemian Grove this is a new story Bohemian Grove workers accused politicians and billionaires of abuse, bad behavior in wage theft lawsuit. That's possible. Yeah apparently who was it? It was some billionaire Oh Coke one of the Coke brothers Bill Coke

1:39:25 He told one of the, I guess they have housekeeping there at Bohemian Grove? What happened to walking around... Depends on the camp. Yeah. You have to hand wash my underwear! And they're very upset about that. That story sounds bogus. You would know you've been to the Bohemian Grove not me and I don't know anything about it Then I guess we should talk about the big scandal. This is the big one, they're going to pick up Obama and throw him in jail! Throw him in jail, I tell you! Tulsi's on the warpath!" In my role as Director of National Intelligence, I oversee 18 different intelligence community elements and in the months leading up to the November 2016 election

CHAPTER 16 / 28 Discussion

Tulsi Gabbard, Declassified Russia Investigation Documents

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard discussed declassified documents suggesting the Obama administration pressured the intelligence community to find evidence of Russian election interference in 2016. Gabbard claims a President's Daily Brief was altered to support a narrative of Moscow's influence. The hosts criticize Gabbard's communication style while revisiting past claims of collusion made by Representative Adam Schiff.

tulsi gabbard· dni· barack obama· russia· election hacking· christopher steele· adam schiff

1:40:12 The intelligence community agreed that there was no intelligence that reflected that Russia was trying to hack the election in favor of either candidate. The evidence showed, the intelligence showed that again Russia did not have either the intent nor the capability to be able to impact the outcome of the United States election. So it was very striking when we look back again at the documents that I declassified and released that shows there was a shift In early December, the first week of December again another document was produced by the Intelligence Committee. A President's Daily Brief that was consistent with every other assessment that was done previously leading up to the election. Russia did not- this is after the election now- attempt to affect the outcome of the American election.

1:41:07 That was never published. Hours before it would have gone into President Obama's president's daily brief, it was pulled by a senior level intelligence official saying that they had to pull it because they had received new guidance. The very next day this meeting was called, a National Security Council meeting bringing together all of the senior leaders of President Obama's cabinet and the topic that was put forward was a sensitive matter The tasks that came out of that meeting was coming from President Obama directing the intelligence community, then-Obama's ODNI Director Clapper to produce a document—to produce an intelligence assessment

1:41:50 that detailed not if, but how Moscow affected the outcome of the election that had already occurred electing Donald Trump to the presidency. This document that they published in January 2017 was the foundational groundwork that they continued to reference over and over and over again to enact this years-long coup against President Trump Tulsi Gabbard needs to be able to explain this in 30 seconds. She's doing a horrible job here! It was like what? That is an interesting point Like, what did you just say?! What??

1:42:31 Huh? What did she say? Yeah, yeah. She's got to boil this down better I mean this is a good story It's a great story And there Jen she's not the soundbite girl that she needs to be No That-that that's a skill Yep now she definitely is long winded too complicated pulling in things that are obscure Basically if we boil it down They lied. They knew there was no collusion with Russia and they launched it anyway, and they literally walked Christopher Steele around to all the media outlets and said listen this guy is back! What?

1:43:13 Christopher Steele's back. He's back? Is he on TV? He just came out this morning, floating around doubling down No these are lies about me! Oh that was great Well as a reminder here is Adam Schiff The Russians offered help which we know they did the campaign accepted help which we know they did The Russians then delivered help which we know they did There is circumstantial evidence of collusion But the case is more than that and I can't go into the particulars but there is more than circumstantial evidence now so You've said on more than one occasion that you have seen ample evidence of the Trump campaign's Russia collusion. Last March, you said you had more than circumstantial evidence of treasonous collusion with Russia. I certainly...certainly said there is ample evidence of collusion Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion coordination or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the Trump campaign and Russia?

1:44:06 No, I don't agree with that at all. I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy But we do know this the Russians offered help the campaign accepted help The Russians gave help and the president made full use of that help and that is pretty damning It's going nowhere it was a good story but they're not rolling it out right? I agree I agree that they're not rolling it out right and she's not doing the job she should be. I mean, i think its admirable that she has done this in the first place Yeah And she named names and got everybody kind of cornered... ...and everyone is freaking out about it but just not being done right! I don't know if they are even freaking out about it because you know there some freaking out about it because he got steel back he coming back

1:45:00 Going on and I've shared two or three people come on say well She's you know she what she says not quite true because she's conflating this with that Well, it sounds like they keep bringing up the Facebook all Facebook got tons of times of Facebook we already know the Facebook story. They got $100,000 worth of a nothing. I think I have that here hold on a second And the ads were lame Yeah, but they were funny. Wasn't like 650 bucks worth or something at the end of the day? It was like nothing! They just dropped... it's like somebody's pocket change. Where was that? I know i had the uh... We had a number of clips about what they did at Facebook and- No but I had a recent one let me just see. Oh recent one yeah. It was one of these uh... What is this morning thing hold on lemme see

1:45:48 That's the hoax, Epstein... so much Epstein blah blah blah blah blah. Hmm I can't find it but I was sure oh maybe it was here hold on no no I don't know where it is there it is Geez. Well, it might pop up somewhere I don't know...I had it where some guy was going on well here she was on Maria Bartiromo. And the Trump Russia documents that indicated there was absolutely no collusion and that there was no evidence to even start such an investigation. But Trump didn't have it there in Mar-a-Lago, but that's why they raided his house in 2022 Okay, that was probably true. Yeah could be true. It could be true. Yeah something was up yeah

988 Suicide Lifeline, LGBTQ Funding Cuts

The Trump administration reportedly canceled specialized federal funding for the 988 Suicide Lifeline's LGBTQ+ "Option 3" service. NPR reports suggest this move targets vulnerable youth, though the hosts argue the service is still provided by the Trevor Project. They analyze the "propaganda" behind promoting 988 over 911 as a means to shift funding from police to social workers.

988· suicide lifeline· lgbtq· trevor project· mental health· npr· trump administration

1:46:50 Hey, what's this 988 stuff you got? I've been looking at it all day and people should know John sends me his clips in the morning. I don't listen to him. I look at them because i put them into a little JCD Clips bin but I want to be just as surprised as you are or just as disturbed." Well, I was surprised about it too because I didn't know anything about this. I should have...I know we both should have but 988 You know you can dial 988 on the phone. Oh, is this the transgender helpline? Well, no it's a mental health hotline that had some transgender stuff but they blasted... The whole thing makes no sense when you listen to this report. It is a bunch of short clips I think one is long but let us play these clips A few years ago I started seeing these signs posted all over my city in the metro and public places sharing this three digit phone number 988

1:47:49 That is the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, and it was launched on this day exactly three years ago. When you call the line... You've reached the 988 suicide in crisis lifeline The first thing you hear is a pre-recorded message. Para español, marque el numero dos. Options to connect to specialized support for populations at high risk of suicide If you are a veteran or service member, or are calling about one press 1. To connect to support for LGBTQI plus youth and young adults press 3 Last month the Trump administration announced it was canceling funding for 988's LGBTQI Plus Service that service alone has received over a million contacts

1:48:33 Otherwise, to talk with a counselor stay on the line or press zero. And then what happens is that using nearby cell phone towers the system routes your call through an existing network of 200 local and state funded crisis centers and connects you to a trained crisis counselor who works in your area That person picks up the phone and listens Since launch The Line has been contacted millions of times through calls, texts and the 988 chat box. And a new study led by researchers at NYU and Johns Hopkins estimates that 1.6% of the US population use the line between July 2022 and December 2024. Oh I okay now i know what the story is they canceled option number three yeah but when you listen to the whole presentation

1:49:24 It's bullcrap. They never really cancel anything. Oh, okay. The Trevor Project takes care of the whole deal and they still pass it on? This is just a typical NPR lame attempt or PBS does...NPR. NPR I think. It says NPR but I get mixed up as you know when you play the jingle it explains it. I was not at Bohemian Grove! I was at a different camp. I want to talk about 9-1-1, a previous generation you know my parents myself too was taught to call 911 for any crisis including mental health crisis how is the call to 988 for those crises different?

1:50:10 Yeah, 988 is part of a broader crisis continuum. Right? These are people who are trained specifically to deal with mental health crises The 988 counselors will almost surely be familiar with those services and those teams. They may be able to deploy those teams to you directly, and stay on the phone with you while those teams are on their way. So sure in some places somebody would call 911 and perhaps that 911 center knows about a mobile crisis response team in that same region and they deployed that team as opposed to just deploying ambulance or police

1:50:52 I think in general, 988 centers have a much richer knowledge and better relationships with mobile crisis response teams and other kind of alternative response models as they're called that can be deployed. Right? Okay. So this is the clip that got me it triggered me to figuring out what is, why are they even doing this? What is the rationale? What do you think...what kind of propaganda are they trying to slip? What NLP kind of mechanism are they using? subtext are they telling us here with this bullcrap? Trump hates trans kids. Well, no. Well that maybe but no this is a this is the lead into oh you know we need more social workers and less police let's defund the police and let's have more social workers because 988 it's better than 911 when you have a mental problem and most crime as a mental problem so you have people there out there creating crimes but all I need is a hug

1:51:58 Wow. Clip three? Yeah, whereas folks in 911 centers might have less knowledge about those services and you and your colleagues you set out to determine a number of questions related to who is calling 988 And I want to talk to you about the piece you published in the journal JAMA Network Open Where during a 30-month period, you found more than 16 million calls texts and chats reached 988. And one finding that stood out to us was just the fact that 11% of the contacts came from veterans who were then transferred to the Veterans Crisis Line

1:52:34 Do you have any further comment about the fact that 11% of the contacts were from veterans? I think it can be perceived as a positive finding. The Veterans Crisis Line had existed for awhile, but I think the public-facing communication and marketing about the Veterans Crisis Line probably not as intense as the communications about 988 So, there are probably many veterans who didn't really know about the Veterans Crisis Line and learned about 988 and felt in crisis and called. And were very pleasantly surprised perhaps to hear that option for pressing 1. And looking at the data you found geographic differences too? Yeah That some places in the US were using 988 more than others What did you find

1:53:21 Yeah, healthcare in general but I would say especially mental health care and policy is very state-driven in the United States. And within some states there's also a lot it's county driven right so then we have county variation within states So we found that rates of 988 use were much lower in the southern parts of the United States Okay? Yeah Because there's in the southern part of the United States are not nuts Well, we're losing on the same kind of nuts. No We do have a lot of veterans who need mental health Yeah They probably get their care elsewhere because that's brought up and what clip are we on for? Yes Please so when we ranked you know all the states in terms of their rate of 988 use

1:54:12 really big states like Florida and Texas were down there at the very bottom. And we don't really know the why from our data, but we can speculate in prior work and work of others, we found that more conservative folks generally report in survey-based work being less likely to use something like 988 and being less supportive of it. It might be a matter of values and a matter of experience that in more conservative parts of the US there might be more skepticism towards

1:54:48 mental health treatment and counselors in general. Yeah, now you did a really interesting second study that was published in Health Affairs So what we did is we asked these 5,000 US adults so we fielded this survey and presented people with By the way this guy's voice is the opposite of that guy from Tennessee This guy's voice is bad. By the way, I deserve an award for editing this clip. No, I can hear your edits and yes they are good. Adults so we fielded this survey and we presented people with the question of if you or a loved one were experiencing suicidality or mental health crisis how likely would you be to turn to each one of these sources? And we listed five sources 988

1:55:34 which we defined for them briefly in the survey, a crisis line other than 988. A mental health professional like a psychologist or social worker or psychiatrist, a friend that were family member or someone in your religious network right? So we asked them this question and we had them rate these things on a seven point Likert scale We found these five different groups And what were those five types of groups So we had this group that we called Seek Help Nowhere. We had this group, we called Definitely Not 988 Yes Friends and Family Distressed A group we called Seek Help Everywhere Group we called Seek Help Most Places But Not Religious Network And finally a group we called Relatively Indifferent Not Distressed I found it interesting that the Definitely Not 988 but yes friends and family distressed group

1:56:21 had the highest levels of recent psychological distress. Why is that? Oh man, I would say around here people go to the church they have all kinds of resources at the church including mental health people It sounds a little fishy, their study. The whole thing it went on longer and they went on and on and on and on there just trying to promote but I think the real subtext in the real message is that these services are out there and they're good, they work and that we should have do we should defund the police? They never say that!

1:56:56 But that's what do but when the segment where they talked about 9-1-1 versus nine eight eight. Yeah, that was the kicker That was like a you know calling the cops because somebody's freaking out They're gonna jump off the ledge or call in nine eight eight So yeah You have you went from four to six so that's number five and I guess. Well, let's talk also about the fact that the Trump administration has cut funding to the LGBTQI plus youth service of the line that is set to go away on Thursday July 7th. So there you go what they did is they said it should just be folded into the rest That's what they did but okay. Once that option goes away What kind of specialized mental health? Here's what I don't understand

1:57:49 Maybe I'm misunderstanding the service. But, I thought that as long as you let your son become your daughter they wouldn't commit suicide if you didn't do that That's when they would commit suicide Wasn't that the big selling point was a basic thesis. Yeah, so yeah Would you rather have a live daughter or dead son? Yeah Support will still exist for LGBTQ I plus young people I think this silver lining is you know pre 988 the Trevor project has existed and will continue to exist as

1:58:26 And they, you know have funding from other sources as well that will remain an option. Right and for anyone who doesn't know the Trevor project was one of the groups providing 24-7 support for 988s LGBTQI plus callers They handled about half of the contacts from this group of people So zooming back out just as we close what message do you think it sends that 988 is? does exist. What does it do? Yeah, no I think it does a few things. One, I think it normalizes the fact that humans experience feelings of crisis and suicidality and that you know

1:59:05 federal government supports this lifeline or the safety net. Suicidality? Okay, so here's the... So she mentions the Trevor Project which I guess was already picking up the calls from 988. and it will continue to do so. So, it's got nothing to do with Trump. It was a gratuitous slam-o. Trump took this away and that away. He didn't take anything away. He officially took it out of the process but it was always covered by... It's like the veterans stuff which is covered by various veterans groups. And they just pass it on to them and they go take care of it and they pass onto Trevor group. This was a bogus story that served two purposes one to slam Trump which all NPR wants to do

1:59:50 slam Trump A and defund the police. That was the whole point of it. So that's what a 988 is, so I just thought it was an interesting... propagandistic mechanism used for a dual purpose. Well, let's look at some more of that propagandistic i.e advertising by the way we didn't talk about in the last show but there was a pretty big story that GLP-1 drugs Eurozempic etc apparently now boosts testosterone levels we're getting so close to ED I'm getting very, very close. You're hoping... Getting very close to erectile dysfunction solved by Ozempic. Yeah and you saved the best for last? Well yeah eventually that'll be the kicker. This is a rolling process you roll out your marketing mechanisms one after another. You don't do it all at once! Can you shoot your wad?! So I was

Ozempic for Cancer Prevention, CNN Native Advertising

CNN featured oncologist Dr. Elizabeth Komen discussing how obesity and alcohol consumption are primary modifiable risk factors for cancer. The hosts deconstruct the segment as a "native ad" for GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, suggesting the medical establishment is pivoting toward pharmaceutical solutions for weight-related cancer risks. They advise avoiding processed foods with barcodes as a simpler preventative measure.

ozempic· glp-1· breast cancer· cnn· elizabeth komen· alcohol· sugar

2:00:55 blown away by this story. You know, President Trump was talking about hey you know Coke's gonna put sugar back into Coca-Cola and so of course we have to not only discredit sugar but listen to where this Big Pharma report from CNN with Dr. Elizabeth Komen really leads too. All right more young women than ever are getting breast cancer and there's a lot What changed in the last five years? I'm puzzled. What can and cannot help to prevent it, are they myths or is there real science behind them CNN's Sarah Seidner sat down with oncologist and author Dr. Elizabeth Komen to find the truth about cancer prevention. Probably once a week i hear someone say

2:01:49 You know sugar feeds cancer. You really shouldn't eat that Is that true? Sugar is not like going into the cancer and feeding it right It's like one-way train with that M&M that you put in your mouth, and that also puts a lot of blame on the patient That being said Excessive sugar can lead to excessive weight. It can change your metabolic function and we know that that is not good overall as being what's called a host of cancers so, cancer cells are living in your body and we want to make them inhospitable We want to make your body in the environment around it less hospitable to cancers So did you hear? Did you catch it?

2:02:31 Probably not, but maybe what? Okay. Well, so there's two more clips here but you know well sugar you know it's sugar is like feeding the cancer but it can add to your weight I asked a couple of different oncologists Is there a cancer diet and I was told no twice except when it came to drinking alcohol Three oncologist said do not drink alcohol I'm confused. Is there a cancer diet or not? If they're not supposed to drink alcohol, it seems like... Why are you yelling?! There's got to be something to do with nutrition! That was great question. I'll tell you what I think... Oh whoa! That was not a great question

2:03:17 That was a great, great question. I've never heard that before. I thought you'd like that. Supposed to drink alcohol it seems to me that there's gotta be something to do with nutrition? It's a great, great question. I'll tell you what I think we know and then we'll hit the alcohol point as well. So we do know that maintaining more of a plant forward diet with less processed foods... And what is processed foods? There are all these quizzes online about if its processed or not processed in general If it's got artificial dyes in it, then it is more likely to be processed. If you can't pronounce a laundry list of ingredients there, then it's more likely to be processed than not. You want to think about whole foods, whole grains and real foods

2:03:56 and limiting especially processed red meats, the processed deli meats, the processed salami, the pepperoni things like that. The other piece that we know that can be helpful is alcohol. We know that it's a carcinogen. We know that there's an association. The more you drink, the higher your risk. However this is not the same risk as having a genetic mutation that leads to an 85% increased risk of cancer over your lifetime. But people ask me all the time, what can I do that's within my control? You can't control what your family history is. You can control what you put in your mouth and how you exercise- What's out of your mouth! And what you drink

2:04:32 And so we do know that there is an increased association, not only with breast cancer but other types of cancers from alcohol consumption because it is a direct carcinogen. Okay so and here I am like wow you're talking about alcohol causing cancer? And that was all just to keep me going throughout this commercial message because here is where they bring it all home when they bring it around to the first clip. Does being overweight or being obese Make you more susceptible to cancer. It does it does so we know that obesity Like tobacco consumption or alcohol consumption is one modifiable risk factor. It's just like drinking or cancer

2:05:16 but we know that it can also be a tremendous battle to fight. Right? And so it's something that we really want patients to talk openly with their doctors about, about what are their options. What are my options I'm overweight. What are my options? Can I talk to you openly about that doctor or lifestyle options were at the medication options that they might have so that they can start to decrease their risk from that excess weight and this is my fault like that's the first thing that jumped into my head when there was so much Shame around that, that I think we have to really just mentor them and compassionately give patients their options. Their options! Which is going to be Ozempic? Let's just shoot these two people. Where did you get this horrible clip? That was CNN

2:05:59 Oh my, this is a native ad. Yes! Although it's done in a horrible manner It's a category ad. It also brings the temperance thing back to this alcohol nonsense By the way when it comes to processed foods here's my tip Anything that has a barcode or comes in a bag should not be consumed That's your processed food right there I have a... Since you brought it back Do they have barcodes on peaches? They stick them on. We got a bunch of, we have a lot of illegal aliens that work at the produce place and they stick an individual little barcode on each peach. The illegal aliens have a barcode right here? I stick them on them! Yeah it's on their butt So you brought back a segment And i'm going to reintroduce it again This is the side effects

Value for Value, Episode 1782 Artwork Analysis

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" model, which relies on listener donations of time, talent, and treasure rather than advertising. They review the artwork for episode 1782, titled "Circularity" by Scaramanga, which features an animated sequence of an AI "Annie" user. Curry expresses frustration with the proliferation of low-effort AI-generated art, arguing it is "killing" the creative contributions of the community.

Oh, pharma for sure that's where the money is. Tina was listening to it. They're gonna go let's face it they're gonna get kicked off network television by the FCC. They gotta go. They got to go somewhere. It's going to be you I can always get Farmer's Dog to advertise. Farmer's dog! What is that in the refrigerator? Oh, you're an idiot to do that. Oh kick him out. Have you listened to the radio? Also just network or cable news it's 20 minutes and hour of ads

2:10:58 It's so boring. You flip channels and it's ads, ads, ads, ads, ads. Everywhere is ads! It's just insane. And yet we're so spoiled because... We don't run ads!! And we just thank our supporters, our producers who produce in many different ways by sending us nasty notes. We appreciate that of course but also no longer go to meetups is great your time and your talent is waning and they also support us financially Time Talent Treasure That's how we like to run this show It has been pretty good for us Life has been good to us so far

2:11:37 And we want to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1782. We titled that Circularity, and this was a good one! This was a Scaramanga original which he also... Did you see him animate it later on X? He had an animated version of this No I missed it Yeah where so this is um Scaramanga did Annie with what we believe might be a typical Annie user And they're sitting on the couch together. In the animated version, Annie gets up and walks out of frame and then the Annie user with a No Agenda All Seeing Eye T-shirt then eats his huge sandwich... ...and just chomps it down. It's scary man. It must have cost him $20 in credits! I wonder what that does cost him?

2:12:26 I mean, well just ask him. He'll tell you scare mango What does it cost to animate something like that because you know he started off with the animation of us and the podcast awards And that must have cost them a lot of money. I mean, I don't know what maybe is rolling in dough No Maybe maybe he's got its thing going on where he's getting it Free. That's possible. No, well eventually it won't be free. It was a good piece though! At least it was the best one... There were some other ones let me see there was something I liked that you just hated And we had to... let me see. Pretty rare? NoahGenerated.com is where people upload all of their artwork for every single show, I mean where people put their prompted artwork up Oh! I like the dingbat Annie you didn't like that one Yeah i did you're right I just thought it was horrible looking Okay well see that he hated it told ya

2:13:22 It was horrible. I didn't hate it and that was it not a hater There was a lot for some reason Richard Page decided to put a lot of cell phones in drawers, I'm not sure we didn't talk about it There was you on OAN which was horrible. I love when people go on XA Yeah, I mean I made a Coldplay version of You and John it's like it's not even close It's horrible. Not even close, it's amazing everything is so boring AI has killed art I mean all you do is complain yes because it's killing art! I like the fat guy in the anime girl that was okay but yeah you could have done that with Photoshop he didn't need to do AI this is absolutely true but it would've taken a lot longer Yeah That's the key That's what they're talking about

2:14:22 That's what they've done. They've caved to time constraints Yeah, yeah people used to spend the whole show working on art and then when they see people come along and just prompt something like screw I'm not doing this if i'm not getting chosen...I get it makes total sense Well, thank you Scaramanga. Good job! It was certainly the best piece and again it all comes down to the concept no matter how... Oh by the way he also on that little pennant back there? Yeah He's got that little phrase we talked about I saw that yes Very cute That was cool Let's thank our donors, our executive and associate executive producers.

Executive Producer Donations, Elevator Destination Dispatch

During the donation segment, a note from an elevator mechanic explains "destination dispatch" systems found in modern office buildings. The technology, which removes buttons from inside the car, is designed for security and traffic flow. The mechanic also describes "anti-nuisance" sensors that cancel floor calls if the "load weigher" detects the car is empty, preventing children from prank-pushing all the buttons.

2:19:44 I didn't know it was funny. I get a lot out of this show, uh... It keeps me informed and entertained! Found the show in 2000. I wish it had been sooner. I've been contributing to the show mostly through- Wait wait wait, 2000? That's not possible We didn't start until 2007 But he says 2000 so he's been listening somehow since 2000 And we found it sooner Yeah no kidding I've been contributing to the show mostly through podcasting 2.0 streams. Ah, there you go! I understand your doubts on Bitcoin but then he sends a thing with a bunch of gear that I need. Hit up Adam for some more sats. Over the years I've donated and he's got a number here that's pretty astonishing and we'll talk about that later

2:20:35 So he came in with, I accounted for $393 and he'll be an executive producer. And then the next one which is a long note but it's about elevators and worth reading. This is from The Meetup, it was $350 from Lawrence Wolfe and he's in Oakland? And this is, I've read and saw this note. I said oh it's too long am I gonna read this? And then started reading it. This is the kind of information you can get on a No Agenda show and nowhere else! as an elevator mechanic with over 18 years of experience, I wanted to comment on Adam's trip to New York and his elevator observations. The automated elevators yes! The mode of elevator dispatching that your experience is known as destination dispatch Wow yeah the idea has been around for a long time you'll remember was in diehard 1988

2:21:36 when John McClane walks into the Nakatomi Plaza, looks up to his wife's address in kiosk and is then directed to the proper elevator. Its purpose is people flow control and security it makes sense at locations such as hotels and higher security office buildings yes it negates the need for a car call button as you are directed by the hall dispatch controller Only one button is that the lobby is the lobby call button I seem to remember John saying that maybe the reason for it was to prevent kids from pushing all the buttons Now this is where this is the most interesting part of the note Nobody knows. This this is actually prevented by another feature known as anti-nuisance

2:22:29 The elevator has a sensor known as a load weigher that determines how much capacity has been attained in the car. If too many buttons are pushed for the load detected by the load weigher, the controller will cancel those placed calls! So some you know they weigh and they said wait there's not a hundred people on this thing And I hope this elevated your understanding. He says as a pun He sir Lawrence of dystopia the baronet of Maxwell Park Well, it's kind of interesting because I got a note two shows ago from one of our producers, hold on a second. And he had a different explanation for the... By the way it is of course bullcrap because you have to press instead of pressing one button and then a button on the inside You have to say I want to go somewhere then you have to type in the floor you want to go to so is that minimum It's 1 extra button push

2:23:29 And let me see if I can find this. It was one of our producers, I think in Australia and he said no the reason for this is so that they can put in less elevators which costs a huge cost savings So yes it does help traffic flow a little bit But only, so it really doesn't give you any benefit. The benefit is they don't have to put in six elevators they can put in four elevators So it doesn't really save you any time Whatever the case Yes whatever the case exactly It's a joke Yeah it is

2:24:14 Sir Kojen. Anyway, he came in at $350. Thank you very much. Put him on the list. Sir Ko... You're gonna have to give them to me later I will. Okay. Sir Kojen National Park New Jersey 34375 No Carmonita Just been a while since i donated Says Jim! Sir Kojen thank you Oh, I'm up again. You are. Commodore G in Cincinnati Ohio 34375 1783 was a very good show! Oh no. Commodore G.

CHAPTER 21 / 28 Discussion

Associate Executive Producer Credits, Baby-Making Karma

The hosts read letters from Associate Executive Producers, granting "karma" for birthdays, anniversaries, and health issues. One donor discusses the rise of "POTS" (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) as a potential "money-making scheme." Another producer credits the show's "baby-making karma" for a successful pregnancy. The segment concludes with a reminder to support the show via noagendadonations.com.

CHAPTER 22 / 28 Discussion

National Cancer Institute Budget Cuts, PR Staff Firings

PBS reports on "unprecedented" budget cuts at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), claiming research is being severely harmed. The hosts deconstruct the report, noting that the "cuts" primarily targeted the communications and PR departments rather than clinical research. They argue the Trump administration is "refocusing" the agency by removing thousands of government marketing positions and consolidating web resources.

national cancer institute· nci· nih· budget cuts· pbs· communications· marketing

2:34:05 on the home shopping. You're right, I forgot about that. Cancer research cut back and this is another one of these things... Oh Trump! Trump's fault. The industry does not want to pick up the tab for them, where the research that taxpayers pay for and they benefit from we don't benefit from it we get charged money yes the taxpayers get nothing out of this they get gypped and meanwhile which is a term that the Gypsies were named after not the other way around so I can say gypped We get gypped and nobody steps up

2:34:45 We have to step up. The taxpayers have to step up for everything, this is bullcrap! We had a note from one of our producers bitching about our take on this... Yes your take in particular I think Yeah well my take is what you just heard and I'm not changing it You're not changing that let's listen to the PBS Take For decades the National Cancer Institute or NCI has spearheaded breakthrough advancements against the disease Since the 1990s, cancer deaths have been reduced by a third. That's an uplifting report you got here Joe But now the world's premier cancer institute is in the midst of a fierce battle over its future

2:35:21 William Brangham spoke with Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News. Rachana Pradhan, thank you so much for being here. Can you help us understand the scale of the cuts that are being made at The National Cancer Institute and are they falling in particular areas or regions of that institute? Based on what we have heard from scientists who are currently still at NCI and ones who have left is that the cuts and the upheaval overall that is happening to this agency are unprecedented. They have never seen anything like it, there are people who are leaving and also being cut that work on various aspects of cancer research and communication. And the second thing is research money is being cut

2:36:07 at NCI and across the board at the NIH. So what you're seeing is very rapid escalation in the amount of money that is being trimmed for studying all sorts of interventions, right? To reduce cancer mortality and morbidity in this country." How does the Trump administration explain that? Hold on a second... We just heard if you stop drinking alcohol and take Ozempic, you're going to be okay! What more research do we need?! You also noticed something else she said in that little bit which was research and communication. No, that's marketing. This is about the cuts of the PR people. Marketing? Yeah! The marketing people

2:36:50 We've heard this before because I think when Kennedy came in, they didn't like the way they were messaging and they're doing websites. And they were telling people that this and that and the other thing. They got rid of most of the PR people. The State Department has thousands of PR people. The number of PR people who work in government get paid well is just outrageous! That's the communications part. Can't they just use AI for that? Well, let's hope not. How does the Trump administration explain that? Because it seems like funding cancer research and cures for cancer seems like a no-brainer in any administration. The Trump administration in response to our story they actually said that it was misleading and it's a biased narrative and that they are essentially refocusing the National Cancer Institute work and it represents a necessary transformation

2:37:47 the Department of Health and Human Services, which is where NCI ultimately sits still values and plans to prioritize research into cancer and other health conditions. And so that is what they are saying essentially it's necessary under the administration's policies and to sort of realign what NCI is doing. Yeah in other words for there's two things about this report classic PBS No numbers are given. What numbers? What are we talking about, they took a dollar away, $10 away 1% I mean what did they take away that she never says and then they say there's a reorg so the reorg which got rid of all the communications people all the PR people seems to me is what it was all about who were spending too much money on PR let's put it toward real actual research how about that for an idea no no she's not buying into it

2:38:43 And from talking to researchers and clinicians within the NCI, what have they said to you about what the impact of these cuts has been? They say that it is harming research severely. We have one scientist saying that people will die, but people will die because there are life-saving efforts that are being curtailed at this moment I think the other thing that's really important to underscore is so many people we talked to inside the government and even outside of the government said

2:39:20 inexplicable why this is being done. They don't understand the aim, the objective because we have seen so much progress in the fight against cancer in this country and around the world but that being said it is still the nation's second leading cause of death only heart disease surpasses it right? In 2023 which is the most recent data we have Over 600,000 people in the US died from cancer and we still have millions of people that are diagnosed with it every year. And so there's clearly still a lot of work to be done and NCI has contributed in almost immeasurable amount toward reducing cancer deaths in this country. But what if it's immeasurable? What is the amount

2:40:07 Oh, it's immeasurable. You can't measure it. That's... It means you can measure it. With what? How have they done that? No, no, quiet! Quiet slave shut up Is there some drug that I'm unaware of that I should be taking? Did they develop? She also mentions the people will die This is the talking point The Democrats use for everything USAIDs having money taken away People are gonna die Yeah yeah I know this is quite annoying They use this a lot Elizabeth Warren does it all the time now. People will die, people will die, people will die! They will die! People will die. Yeah, people die. Right. All right

2:40:48 Does this also impact current cases, people who are living with cancer now being treated for their cancer today? I think it does. As part of widespread firings that HHS carried out earlier this year across the department and many important agencies among the people who lost their jobs were most of the workers inside of NCI's communications office those workers were responsible for disseminating really important health information. That includes information that is found on cancer.gov, which is a website that is used widely in this country by cancer patients and their families and also updating resources that physicians and other clinicians who care for cancer patients rely on with the latest research

2:41:40 about a particular disease or particular type of malignancy. And so the fact that those resources are not being updated because most of the workers were fired will have an immediate impact on cancer patients who are looking for information about treatments and research to help inform their care. I'll get a WordPress blog, listen to this. So I go to Cancer.gov and there's two big areas right at the top of this page. On the left for people affected by cancer and on the right, for researchers! Support for The Best Science underpins everything NCI does. Explore our resources to help researchers conduct their work and apply for funding and training opportunities And then they have articles Why are cancer diagnoses rising in people under age 50? If only you could figure out what changed...

2:42:37 Rapid genetic... I don't know man. Get answers? So, okay so they need web developers, I guess Whatever. All right, last clip Oh I'm sorry last clip is number four Does this also impact current cases people who are living with cancer now being treated for their cancer today? I think it does as part of widespread firings Well that was number four then then we've played the role well I have a report from UK

CHAPTER 23 / 28 Discussion

UK Voting Age Reform, 16-Year-Old Voters

The UK Labour government is proposing a reform to lower the national voting age to 16, bringing England in line with Scotland and Wales. Critics argue that 16-year-olds are too impressionable and lack the life experience to vote, while proponents claim they are well-informed. The hosts express skepticism, suggesting the move is a political tactic to exploit younger, more easily influenced demographics.

united kingdom· voting age· labour party· parliament· social media· misinformation

2:43:17 which I thought was interesting. They're trying to do this everywhere in the world, the UK appears not quite there yet but it appears to have pushed it through." In the United Kingdom they can work pay taxes and serve in the military now 16 and 17 year olds might be able to vote in the next general election these students are cautiously optimistic about the decision. because it's always really annoying watching older people vote. But realistically, it is not going to affect them but our futures so I'm happy about that but there is a small worry about people who are just going to take their parents' opinions." The move fulfils a campaign pledged by the Labour government and brings the whole of the United Kingdom in line with Scotland and Wales

2:44:04 who have already made the change. Some conservative critics have questioned whether young people should be able to vote when they aren't deemed old enough to get married or stand for election, but specialists say teens are well informed. We know from where other countries where this is introduced is that actually 16 17 year olds making decisions of unequal quality older voters. Young people have also expressed concern about misinformation on social media I think it's definitely a problem Like I know lots of people who are really very impressionable But I think it is a small minority of people that will actually get affected by far right or far left Social media the government announced the proposal on Thursday as part of a sweeping reform to the democratic system It will also include extending acceptable forms of ID Improving postal votes and clamping down on rules on political donations, but first it will have to be scrutinized at Parliament

2:44:59 Well, it's going to be very interesting how that unpacks if they actually get it through. 16 year olds I don't know seems like 16 years old... I don't like it! No? I'm an old fart. I don't like it. 16-year olds don't know Jack. Okay and they're just gonna you know they're gonna no although could they could be exploited well yeah that's I think that's the idea. That's the idea is to exploit them but how are you gonna do it? Social media we'll hire back some of those web people I have a little sidetrack I want to go on. Just one clip, this is Alex Wilkins the girl who is the suspicious Mossad agent, the 26 year old Patel is dating her. And she's now... Wait but she's a Mossad agent?

CHAPTER 24 / 28 Discussion

Alexis Wilkins, Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA

Alexis Wilkins and Alex Stein discuss internet rumors labeling them as "Mossad agents" on a Turning Point USA podcast. The hosts analyze the success of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA, which reportedly brings in $86 million in annual receipts. They credit Kirk as a "marketing genius" who has successfully organized conservative youth and wealthy donors, despite criticisms of his high-profile lifestyle and use of private jets.

alexis wilkins· alex stein· charlie kirk· turning point usa· mossad· private jets· marketing

2:45:58 Well, this is what they're saying. Oh okay In fact this guy who's...this guy Stein I think his name is Stein? I can't remember who it is He brought she brings him on the show She's doing her her show remotely She has a show oh yes she has a podcast Highly scripted I've seen her It's not spontaneous She's a cutout! She's a cut out. Limited hangout! So she at Turning Point USA, they have a media segment I guess they're all being podcasting from there and i want to talk about that for a second after we play this clip of her she brings this guy on who talks about her being...

2:46:38 You know, kick to the curb as a spy and he has to. And they go back and forth with their lively banter. OK? Hello everyone! Welcome to The Rumbles. Oh no... This is what I'm going to do in my new podcast Welcome back to the podcast. Hello everyone, welcome to the Rumble studio at SAS turning point USA here in Tampa Florida we are so happy to be here I'm Alexis Wilkins if you've watched this show before you know this is between the headlines we took a brief hiatus but we are so back moving to a live stream format and very excited to be doing it i have with me pimp on a blip primetime 99

2:47:21 In the building, Alexis! I just want to say thank you for having me but... No it's Alex Stein. Stein99 The guy who goes into the city council meetings That guy Yeah that guy Fine in the building building Alexis, I just want to say thank you for having me. But you got canceled this week and I kind of got canceled yesterday and i think it got revealed that you and are both Masada agents working for Benjamin Netanyahu so we're toasts were finished I think we have to retire Oh, it's It's an internet meltdown but you know what's unfair? And I see the attacks on you because like obviously cash is a very powerful guy but this is what's unfair they came after me too like when my mom died You know they said that I killed my mom. So sorry there's really bad

2:48:03 But my point is like with the internet, it doesn't even matter what you say or do. You're going to find a conspiracy theorist and I'm a conspiracy theorist to create a conspiracy about you and share it on the internet, you know? It's just because you're well known. It's in the water and it's funny because coming from someone who obviously there is a lot of context here of what's going on our country and I understand that people need a villain. I do get it. people. She's not a villain though, right? Exactly! That's the thing is like they want anything and so they'll pretend that I'm the CEO of PragerU which i am very much not. That's what I see. They share that thing where it said that and did you even work for PragerU that long? Short form content... I mean you made some videos for them but once again Dennis Prager is a great guy because he's Jewish now you're a massage spy so it's just kind

2:48:57 of a weird thing where if you even have one crumb, do you work for a Jewish guy? Now that means you work for Israel. And listen I hate that it's always a conspiracy theorist like I hate my last name Stein actually was baptized. I'm actually Christian everybody's like oh you're this Jewish agent and i don't like that I apologize for the invention of podcasting. You should! This is very... Because this is actually the typical, today's typical podcast. Yeah yeah. A couple gas bags going on and on. Welcome to the Rumble studio. So, so the question...so you went to an event where Charlie...now Charlie Kirk to me is an interesting character because he's one of the great self promoters of our day. He's a great speaker? He's a marketing genius and I don't care much for what he's up to but

2:49:55 He's a marketing genius and you saw him speak, and you say he is a great speaker. And I can believe that because he spends all his time honing his skills. And he is also a good debater because he is a master debater as a matter of fact. Yes, he is! Because he gets, you know... He does all these viral. He creates his own viral videos of him slamming some poor asshole that comes up and argues with him for a minute Well this is really his thing where we went to college campuses and just went Yeah the change-he's the change my mind guy No no Nope but I mean he is the real change my mind The guy who sits at the table says changed my mind which You know That's Crowder People are ugly Change My Mind kind of thing That's Crowder

2:50:40 Yeah, Crowder. But I think this is the real... because he argues he puts it's just really outstanding but you say flies around in a private jet He's you know because the guys 37 28 29 maybe? I don't know how old he is but this guy's remarkable! But why does he get everybody his attention? Do people get paid to speak at his events? No People want to be seen at his events So a lot of people here in Fredericksburg, in fact we've been invited. We couldn't go but we are invited and we got an invitation from some people at Boot Ranch. Remember Boot Ranch?

2:51:23 Boot Ranch, the bar? No. Boot Ranch, the $8 million homes at Boot Ranch was 20 minutes... Oh, Boot Ranch that area with all those high-end places. Yes, yes yeah. So Turning Point USA really became the thing for wealthy people to donate money to because it was going to be the youth and I think it arguably was very successful The youth that were going to change America And to be fair about it, I think putting money into a group that organizes youth the way Charlie Kirk does it is a lot better than anything the Democrat Party does to organize youth. You know by cutting off their genitals and giving them blue hair and putting them on TikTok so you can retweet them. What happened your nose ring?

2:52:12 And of course he has a very strong biblical element to him because the guy can quote scripture like nobody I've ever seen. Yeah, he's memorized the Bible He's really good at it and but he also understands it so when he comes... you don't want to get into a debate over scripture with Charlie Kirk and yes, and then he's very open about The Jet because he does so many events I think he's on the road 200 days out of the year and he goes from event to event to event And so I don't think people are getting paid to show up at the event, but Turning Point USA we could probably look them up. Let's take a look what Turning Point brings in. Lots of money and they have extra... What do you call it? Here let me see. TPUSA. You know here it is. There you go

2:53:08 Gross receipts, want to take a stab? 135 million. No no 86 million. 86 million. 750 grassroots activists you know you can pay an extra 10 grand and get to have dinner with Charlie And now I don't think they pay people like Candace because she speaks at a lot of these Candice Owens but you want to be seen speaking at Turning Point USA You do. And so I'm sure they fly them in, put them up take care of them and it's without a doubt it's a very very successful group not just for you know for them doing what they do but politically I think it's a big deal

2:53:57 Maybe. I'm not convinced what he means, I am convinced this guy's doing a hell of a job marketing and selling an managing is the management issue to that dad gum Charlie Kirk. He's quite as loud. She's no slouch tape. And yeah once you get it actually I was somebody did a calculation in one time I was saying what about when do you get? When you start using your private jet is when you get the 50 million. Yeah that's probably right And then you use private jet. Way beyond that and it's expensed so... Oh yeah, no it's a write-off of course What is this NPR food podcast? Anything with podcasting right now I'm ready for it Maybe I should start a food podcast

CHAPTER 25 / 28 Discussion

NPR Podcast Advertisements, Food Politics and Listening

The hosts play advertisements for new NPR podcasts, including "Forked," which focuses on food politics in the "MAHA" (Make America Healthy Again) era. Another ad promotes "Threshold," a podcast described as a "listening renaissance" focused on ecological crises. The hosts mock the "groovy" and "pretentious" tone of the ads, contrasting them with the direct media deconstruction provided by No Agenda.

npr· podcasts· food politics· maha· threshold· listening· environment

2:54:47 I think i'm more likely to do that. This is a, I have two ads these are two NPR ads for what sound like terrible podcasts and so I clipped these ads and here's the food podcast ad we humans are born into a wondrous planetary chorus But these days it can be hard to hear anything but the noise of our own species.

From the meetup which came in with lesser amounts including Will James Robertson who's got him he has some 3x5 cards that he sent including one he wrote on they have stripes across them there's just these dynamite cards! I'd like to know where he got them hmm it's a little card you can hear we should have asked him

2:58:38 I didn't notice because it was in an envelope, sealed envelope with a note inside like you're supposed to do. So when we got home and found him thank you for your quality podcast he says I'm always informed and entertaining came in with $101.79 then we have Sir Zol Bat looks like sir Zol bat came in with a hundred and ten Zol bat.
