A Dog A Day

00:00 We're better than you are, no, you suck! Epstein elections drones outrage as we broadcast 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, you're wondering whether Nancy Guthrie's story is similar to the Iran saga. I'm John C. Dvorak. Well, there's a comparison I hadn't heard yet. The Iran hostage crisis. Ha ha! This... Remember how long that went on?

00:46 Didn't it go on for like 140 days? I think it was a year. It was a long time if I recall. I mean, I was young, but yes, I recall. I recall. Well, nobody else cares. Well, this was, there's a few interesting things about the Nancy Guthrie case. I don't know if you have any clips. I happen to have something here. Well, I was hoping not to discuss it. Since you brought it up. Well, the only thing that's really interesting is the ring camera. The Ring camera is interesting because Google and the FBI were able to retrieve some video from back-end systems where, gosh, that was kind of odd because she did not have a subscription. Nancy Guthrie did not have a subscription. This is, so they bring on...

01:36 So they're stealing the material anyway. Subscription or no subscription. Yeah, this is crazy. So why bother having a subscription? So they bring on this, uh, the founder of, uh, of Ring, Jamie Semenov. I guess they, they, didn't they sell that? Did they sell it to Google? It was, it was an independent, I think it was independent and Google bought them. Google bought them. Well, listen to this. Nancy Guthrie did not have a subscription. As you said with your product, if there's no subscription, you're saying there's no way to find the data. The FBI apparently worked with a parent company in this, Google, to be able to get the data for people who have a Nest camera.

02:15 Even if you're not subscribing that does create the possibility it sounds like that your data is still somewhere in a back home system I'm just curious if that surprises you that they were able to find it. I'm so surprised Yeah, I wouldn't want to speculate. Maybe they're also maybe we're wrong and then she did have some sort of subscription You know, we're getting a lot of... In these cases I've found that a lot of the things that we're hearing are not always correct and we find out later what's actually happening. I do know with Ring specifically, if you delete a recording or if you don't want a recording, you don't have a subscription, we do not have it stored. I know that because I've built the systems with my team.

02:58 But again, I'm happy to see here that, you know, for whatever the reason was that they were able to, with this camera, you know, recover this because I do think this evidence is hopefully going to lead to a solution here to this really just tragic case. And we really don't know, was it a Nest camera, a Ring camera? It's all so complicated. But the reason why it was interesting to me... and clearly to the team at Fox News, was because of the Super Bowl commercial. And it raises, all of this raises the issue of surveillance and we want to get to Ring's recent ad that aired during the weekend's big game, the Super Bowl, promoting the camera's new search party feature, the AI feature, a search party for dogs. And it's getting some serious pushback

03:46 over privacy concerns, but let's let the viewers take a look. One post of a dog's photo in the Ring app starts outdoor cameras looking for a match. Search Party from Ring uses AI to help families find lost dogs. Since launch, more than a dog a day has been reunited with their family. Jimmy were you surprised at the backlash because some of the reaction was surveillance state surveillance state yes yes yes why are you yelling and were you surprised at that I was surprised. I mean, I can understand the concern. When you look though at how Search Party for Dog works, it actually is a completely built on privacy. So what we do is we look for dogs, we want to post a dog. We find it, we say to Jamie, this dog that's lost in your neighborhood looks like this dog in front of your camera. Do you want to contact your neighbor? If you say no, your privacy is protected. And you're a whore. Wait, if you say no,

04:43 Your privacy is protected. If you say yes, well, privacy is gone, I guess. It's lost in your neighborhood. Looks like this dog in front of your camera. Do you want to contact your neighbor? If you say no, your privacy is protected. Why is your privacy protected by saying no? It doesn't make any sense at all. I think you have to look at it the other way. If you say yes, your privacy is not protected. That's what he's saying. That's the point here. of finish we'll find out. If you say no your privacy is protected you're totally fine if you say yes then like I think most people would want to you help return the dog and what we've seen in the response is definitely this is so American like we're always you know I want liberty over your privacy but if it's about a dog I don't care I mean it's a dog ladies and gentlemen it's a dog I've always said you know

05:41 immigrants, all that stuff, but the minute you hit the dogs, that's why Trump won the election. They're eating the dogs. People went, no, no, no, this is the line. Americans... It's a good callback. It's the way it is. There is concern from people that I think that don't understand how the system works, which is a shame. The people that don't understand it, the people that... I literally got a text from a friend today who didn't know we were doing this and said he cried when he watched it because two years ago his dog was lost and they never found it and they wish they had a system like this. So I do think what it's doing is so important. We're returning over a dog a day and we're doing it by keeping privacy and trust because that is very important.

06:21 I love dog a day. Dog a day? That's a show title right off the bat. Dog a day. And of course the only real question we want to know is... Well, if you can do it with dogs, well, how about humans? So I think the question I would ask as sort of the layman watching this is, well, if you can do that for a dog, you could do it for a human too, right? And I think that's where people get nervous. Well, how come you couldn't find Nancy Guthrie's mom? I don't want to be surveilled by my neighbors if my neighbors don't like me or something. Is there a protection built into the system to make sure that what you're doing for dogs doesn't happen?

06:58 for a human. Yeah, so we the number one post in our neighbors app was lost dogs. And so we built this for lost dogs. The system works around dogs. It does not work for humans. It wouldn't even work for that. Okay, I'm just gonna do it. Surveillance state. Come on. These things are all connected. They're trolling your camera in real time. It is being recorded. The FBI knows everybody knows this. And we saw this coming down Mountain Main Street a long time ago. Yeah, it's no big deal. Well, I don't know about it not being a big deal. It's not a big deal. You either put these cameras up or you don't, who cares? They're mostly a nuisance. Mimi's got one at the house and it goes off all the time, every time a bird flies by. Oh, you got to turn on pet detection. A deer comes up and bumps it. Yeah, I know, I know.

07:51 Yeah, it's just it's just like well before we go deep into the show I do have two clips I want to get out of the way which I think are the clips of the of the of the of the era I don't think we have a clip of the era jingle no we don't And we're not gonna ever all right. This is two reports the same story reported two different ways one a little more accurate I'd say than the other and funnier mm-hmm and But let's listen to this one. This is your Texas story. This is your Texas news where you're gone. You're missing out. Oh, gee, what did I miss? This is the drone BBC. I did not miss this story. The punchline will be self-explanatory. The Trump administration has blamed a Mexican cartel drone incursion for the temporary closure of the airspace over El Paso International Airport in Texas.

08:41 The measure was initially ordered for 10 days for special security reasons, but was lifted within hours. The transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, said swift action was taken to disable the drone. Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, says authorities are investigating the incident. El Paso's mayor slammed the closure, saying it caused widespread disruption and confusion. I want to be very, very clear that this should have never happened. You cannot restrict airspace over a major city without coordinating with the city, the airport, the hospitals, the community leadership. That failure to communicate is unacceptable. Yes, yes. When I read the story, I immediately

09:29 Sent a text message before we found out what it was I sent a text text message to my buddy Maverick who has who has a plane his mom lives in El Paso he goes to El Paso all the time and I said I don't know what's going on I said no idea already told my mom start driving get out of El Paso the cartels are coming Well, here is the the I don't know if this came before or after the BBC report which makes it sound pretty impressive but here is the NPR report which is probably a little more accurate. The Trump administration says a US military laser shot down what it said was a drug cartel drone near El Paso on the US-Mexico border. However, it now appears the target may have actually been a

10:18 party balloon and PR's Greg Myrie has the details. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the military and the Federal Aviation Administration quote acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized. The FAA also announced the highly unusual step of closing El Paso's airspace for 10 days, then lifted the ban several hours later. However, a U.S. official familiar with the matter, but not authorized to speak publicly, gave NPR's Tom Bowman a different account. The source said the Pentagon recently authorized Customs and Border Protection to use the high-energy laser. The agency then shot down a suspected drone, but it now appears the object was a Mylar party balloon that posed no threat.

11:05 This by the way is not confirmed that it was a party balloon, but the story... Oh come on, it was. I'm sure it was. He fire up a big laser that must have cost like probably a grand to get up to power and pops a balloon. Now I'm reminded of the fact that I used to send up garbage bags Of course. I always have a helium tank around the house. And occasionally, if there was an event or something at the house, I'd always say, kids, you wanna see something funny? And so you fill up a big 35-gallon garbage bag with helium and you put a little tag at the bottom which will keep it nice and balanced.

11:53 And he just pushed it off the front porch. And it really just doesn't go very high. It just kind of just wanders in this garbage bag floating over the San Francisco Bay. And you can just watch it for about an hour as it goes over. I just find it to be funny. Back in the day, we didn't have TikTok. We didn't have Instagram. We had garbage bags with helium. But these mylar balloons, which are, I think you can pick them up on radar. I think it's possible that this You know, it was just picked up on the radar and they made all these assumptions. That's the way I see it. Well, on the other hand, we are touting that we have lasers that can shoot drones out of the sky. That's kind of good PR. There are a lot of drone incursions on the border, apparently. I was just looking at the pilot forums and this does happen quite a bit. But the whole thing is what we do, man. Hey, you got to...

12:50 We got directed energy weapons over here, party kids. We'll take care of you. I mean, the whole thing may have been a publicity stunt just to promote the laser. That was my thought. I'm like, well, you know, that's kind of something. Just so you know, when you're flying your drones with drugs over, we do have lasers. I wonder what happens if you laser a drone with fentanyl. That may not be a good thing. What would what would go why because maybe the fentanyl? Just explodes and and then wafts down over everybody who are fentanyl doesn't explode No, no, but it could I don't think there would be vaporized. I don't know. I'm just asking questions You know like all podcasters. I'm just asking you like Lee. I'm just asking questions. I

13:43 Well, no. I'd like to know, I'd like to see some of the results of some of these. I'd like to see some evidence that these lasers do much more than just disable the thing. That's what I'm guessing. It just disables and comes crashing down. I don't think it vaporizes the drone. Popped a hole in the balloon, big deal. I was reading that it's a 20 or 20 kilowatt laser, which seems like a lot. You know, the little laser pens people are shooting at planes, I think, a watt maybe. Imagine 20 kilowatts. I think that could do some damage, if it's true. If it's true. We don't know. We don't know. As usual... We need... we have... we do know. Yeah, we have people who know. Yes, we do have people who know. But they may... this is my guy here. He's the guy that's in all that. I got to talk to him.

14:38 The last guy you talked to apparently wanted to fleece El Paso with his family because they were afraid of the incursions of the cartels coming to get everybody. No, but the guy from the Department of War who's in the Modern Warfare Department. He would know. I'll ask him. Well, you know, he can't tell me much, but I can say blink your eyes. Well, have him guide you to some information that is useful. I will. I will. I'm actually mad I didn't think of that earlier. One of our producers suggests that Nancy Guthrie was

15:16 killed by a illegal and the whole thing is a cover-up. Because he has an exact example of what happened. It just happened in University of Colorado, I think Boulder campus. He says this happened, some student was killed by an illegal and they covered it up. They don't need any more Trump and Lake and Riley, you know, tributes. They don't need it. Especially with a network TV stars. So hold on a second that would kind of explain this bullcrap ring slash nest slash whatever camera story where you have this guy with a backpack and the and the the throwaway gloves and he's and he's just you know a ring doorbell you can rip that off and

16:03 It's not hard. You can kick it and it's done. But no, he's going back, he's getting leaves. Yeah, he's kicking around with sagebrush. That could be the hoax right there. That could be the cover-up. Yeah, that could be the cover-up. Yeah, it makes sense to me. I did get a note from one of our producers on Thursday's show. Could you and or John address two things? One, what is quote residual data from back-end systems? That would be bullcrap. is what I would say, because that's what they're saying. Oh, we got video was residual and we have all these tech people. Residual data for bank. Yeah, it sounds like a Silicon Valley bull crap phrase. I mean, I'm sure I'm sure that if you delete something, yes, it's still recoverable from a drive. Yeah, you can do that. Yes. And two, how can random folks monitor activity in a Bitcoin wallet?

17:02 Well, I will answer that. If you have the Bitcoin wallet where it's being sent to, then you can monitor that wallet to see if anything came in. That's the whole point of the open blockchain. And then you can follow it to see if it goes somewhere and ultimately winds up in an exchange. Then you can jump in as law enforcement, unless, of course, you use a mixer. And a mixer can then mix it all up. Or you could put it on... There's ways you could get around it. But that's the whole point of Bitcoin. It's transparent. I got a very short clip here which explains the term that we have been trying to eradicate from our brains. This was a surprising clip that I got this morning. The term, and this does not count, by the way. No, this doesn't count. It doesn't count. Do you even know where that comes from, by the way?

18:00 Yeah, I did a whole thing on it. It goes back to 900 actually, but it means by the side of the... It means by the road and it was used... I don't have the sheet in front of me now because it's been a while, but it was used as directional. Well, according to Maya Angelou, From her book. Oh, well here we go. This is why I like it. From her book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. This is an excerpt from her audio book. But later in the evening I found that my violation lay in using the phrase, by the way. Mama explained that Jesus was the way, the truth and the light.

18:49 And anyone who says, by the way, is really saying by Jesus or by God. And the Lord's name would not be taken in vain in her house. When Bailey tried to interpret the words with white folks used by the way to mean while we're on the subject, Mama reminded us that white folks' mouths were most in general loose and their words were an abomination before Christ. So you white man, Or an abomination. It's full of shit. There's no documentation for this whatsoever. I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Yeah, you can look it up. The etymology is available. I'm sure I'll look it up on AI. AI will tell me this is exactly what it is. Exactly.

19:40 Man, there's so much we... So the Super Bowl. I did not watch very much of the Super Bowl. I don't... Not here, would you? Yeah, I was doing other things on Sunday. Well, not like that, but why would you? You're not a football guy. That's the only football game I watch is the Super Bowl. Well, you can watch the highlights. Yeah, okay. It was, by the way, you didn't miss anything. It was one of the boringest Super Bowl games. You just said, by the way. Oh my God. Yes, by his way, the way, the light, the life. That's what I'm talking about. By Jesus' way, you didn't miss anything. The game stunk. Yeah, I saw that. It was boring. It got kind of interesting after the show that the Seattle team played dirty and knocked some guy out of bounds.

20:30 Kind of a dirty play by one of the Seattle players and then all of a sudden the other team scored Patriots scored and then it might well, maybe they can win. This would be great because they could do a comeback It'd be funny now Now they just crapped out and the team, you know, it was boring the and the commercials were Not great. No I mean, some of them were gruesome. There was a talking gobs of hair, which I thought was disgusting. There's a bunch of headless people in one commercial where their heads were chopped off. Who needs that aggravation? And it was just, it was the whole thing. And then they had Green Day, you know, come out. First they bring it, this is the classic. They bring out all this, they got a bunch of all-stars, a lot of 49ers, Joe Montana, Steve Young. They brought them out, put them on the stage.

21:19 Well Green Day sang American Idiot, which I thought was the most insulting thing you could do. Pretty much. And nobody caught, picked up on that obviousity and it was just annoying. I just found the whole thing to be... spectacle is laughable. Just looking at the overall picture of this and it was all in Spanish and... Oh, and the Spanish bad bunny thing. That got a lot of attention. Well, to me, that was all about the midterms. It seems very apparent right now that we have, that we, I think we clearly have the

22:04 Democrat Party and their operatives working very hard on, you know, getting... They failed with the black vote. That was what BLM was all about. And they said, okay, black America, vote for us. They didn't get as many as they wanted because Trump got a lot. And then you notice that out of the protests everywhere in the streets, there's pretty much no black people. None. I haven't seen one. Exactly. So, you know, I kind of started to figure this tie this all together. I thought I had a, um, I had a clip. Uh, let me see if I have this here somewhere. Hmm. Somehow I'm missing, missing something here. I wonder what happened to all my clips. I'm on Linux by the way. So that would, that should not, should not surprise you. Um, but the, all of this,

23:06 is a strategy. You know, the, because how many cities are really going nuts protesting? It's Minneapolis. We had Los Angeles for a little bit. It's all paid for. We know it's the same. Yeah. Or Portland. Portland. And there's some little bit in Chicago, but it's all paid for by the same entities that go into the same, the exact same people, the Black Lives Matter activists. Now they're out there for, but you know, and you see all this horrible, um, you know, just people getting beat up. What you actually don't see much of is immigrants, illegal immigrants. You don't, you know, you always hear about, well, they dragged this person out of the car and they did this and they did that. And what you really only see is protesters, American citizen protesters who are getting rousted, getting shot, and that's the shock value of it.

24:00 But we're not idea. Yeah, that is the idea. And from what I understand, you know, with that recent election in in Texas, which went to a Democrat, they consider that to be the reason to be that the Mexican American, the Latin American vote is pulling away from Trump because they don't like what they see. And I think that seems to me to be the entire strategy behind all of this. Because what do we have? We have 30% of America is Latinx, would you say? I don't know. I think it is. I think it's up there.

24:47 It seems like that's the plan. I mean, everything is about the midterms. Well, everything's about the midterms and that probably is the plan. And that's what you do. And they're doing it X, you know, no matter what anyone likes to think, and they shake their fist at it, they're doing an excellent job. I think Schumer's behind a lot of it, even though some of the corn ball stuff, he's behind all that stuff too. But I think they're doing an excellent job of swinging the voters toward the Democrats for the Because they know there's two factors here. One, the Republicans don't come out to vote. The Republicans, that little area in Texas, went 30 points over for Trump.

25:26 Yes, yes, exactly. It's a Trump district. Yes. But why didn't, you know, but it went to this Democrat doofus because the Republicans never come out. Oh, whatever. Who cares? I mean, the Republicans are basically lazy. There is terrible party for this. They don't, they can't get jacked up about anything unless all hell's breaking loose and then they'll come out. And so they, you know, so they're just pushing, they're going to, I think that the, Unless something changes or they pull a great stunt. I mean Trump has it in them to do it. Mm-hmm The Republicans are gonna get wiped out in the in the midterms. Here's a this is from

26:08 I forget which podcast this is. This is a guy from the Brennan Center. Isn't the Brennan Center, is that literally John Brennan's? I've never heard of the Brennan Center. Yeah, the Brennan Center, that's been around. Let me see. Yeah. Yeah, Brennan's. I think that was something set up by John Brennan, if I'm not mistaken. Brennan Center for Justice. Yes, non-profit based in New York that works to defend democracy. Well, you know... John Brennan, the CIA guy? Let me see what Wikipedia says if it's... No, William J. Brennan. No, different guy. Oh, former Supreme Court Justice Brennan, who I do not remember.

26:48 It's basically another Democrat fund. Another money laundering operation. Another money laundering operation. So they have this guy on this podcast, Mike Walden from the Brennan Center, and this was in December before everything really kicked off in Minneapolis. On January 31st, a special election for... This is from Promethean Action. I know I should not be playing these clips. But this was actually quite good. On January 31st, a special election for a Texas state Senate seat turned into a warning shot. A district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points in 2024 saw the Republican candidate lose in what should have been an absolutely safe race. Now let's go back to that interview with the Brennan Center's Mike Waldman and look at when it was recorded. It was recorded back on December 10th

27:40 And here's what Walden said then about how Democrats could flip back voters who had voted for Trump in 2024. What they aim to do is move some more Democratic voters out of Democratic districts. In fact, to try to flip some of the Southern Texans that have been, to many people's surprise, moving toward the Republicans, even though they're heavily Hispanic. That kind of assumed that patterns in that community would stay the same as they were in 2024 when Donald Trump won a very substantial share of the Latino vote all over the country.

28:17 The ICE raids, the brutality, and all these other things we've seen seem to be pushing that community back toward, in a sense, more traditional partisan landing spot in the Democratic Party. There you go. That's the whole strategy. The whole strategy. Make it look horrible, make it look bad. People dying and they don't care. They don't care if white people die. They don't this is completely about No, they do care. They want more white people to die. Oh, there's that and then you care and then there was that the outrage and I Where was I I was I think it was Friday Friday or Saturday and people oh man. Did you see the meme? Did you see the meme? Like what Mimi's talk? Oh You haven't seen the Lion King me. What are you talking about? No, I have not seen the meme and

29:08 And, and, and, well I'm gonna tell you, you're gonna see it. This is the, the outrage started right away about the meme! Well you've likely seen the blowback from a racist video reposted by the President of the United States overnight. President Donald Trump on Truth Social posted the Obamas as apes. Now the image appears at the end of a one minute video where Trump once again promotes false claims. The 2020 presidential election. So listen to what he says. Promotes false claims. I'll back it up a little bit. One minute video where Trump once again promotes false claims. Okay, so he's saying that, oh, this video, Trump once again promoting false claims. One minute video where Trump once again promotes false claims. The 2020 presidential election was rigged. It was just a two second clip that shows the Obama's heads edited onto the bodies of primates to the song, The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

29:58 Now, we show you this image that's now been taken down by the White House, by President Trump, so that you can see what had so many people up in arms. So for context, here it is. This post has since been deleted. Okay, so, you know, CBS outrage. I go looking around for some more. Here's the other one. And listen to what they say about what the video was about. I am, by the way, the least racist president you've had in a long time. President Trump's controversial late-night video post on Thursday was about alleged voter fraud in just over was about alleged voter fraud a minute long I like the beginning I thought and just passed it on

30:36 And I guess probably nobody reviewed the end of it because what I saw at the beginning was really, really strong. But the end of the video showed a depiction of the Obamas as apes. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt initially defended the post and called it an internet meme about the Lion King, adding, stop the fake outrage. The political fallout was swift, with some members of the president's own party calling on him to take down the post and apologize. But the president says he didn't do anything wrong. We took it down as soon as we found out about it. I didn't make a mistake. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the lone black Republican in the US Senate, posted this, praying it was fake because it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House. The president should remove it.

31:23 CBS News has learned the president personally called Senator Scott and said the video was a staffer's mistake. The post was deleted after the president's call with Senator Scott. I think that it was an acknowledgement that this was definitely an error. I just don't believe a lower level staffer actually did it. Republican political strategist, Khalil Khabdul. Donald Trump has to have a serious reset or he's going to risk not just what happens in the midterm, Donald Trump is going to risk his legacy if he does not change course. So that's a black Republican strategist. Now, obviously we have to go... The guy at the end, that guy at the end was, who was that guy? That sounded like, what's his name? The Brooks and Capehart guy, Capehart.

32:07 I don't think that was Capehart. No, it wasn't Capehart. No, no, no. I did the clip myself. So obviously I'm like, all right, here's what I think happened. A video was posted, they screen recorded it, probably on TikTok or whatever, and then it scrolled up and then you got that little bit of the Obamas. Whether that was intentional or not is a secondary fact. But I'm like, well, what is the video that he posted? And so I go looking, can't find it, can't find it. I go on Gemini. I say, Gemini, this video was taken down. Go find it. It's probably on YouTube somewhere. It spends 15 minutes after disconnecting. Can't find it. It was taken down. Does not exist. It's not available.

33:00 Okay, so obviously when this video came out, whatever it was, apparently false claims by the president about the election, we had to immediately jump on this and be, and the distraction be the two seconds of the Obamas as apes, which is part of a longer video where all of these, all these Congress critters and elites are all, you know. Yeah, you know, I saw this video. Which one? The Lion King video? Yeah. Yeah? It had nothing to do with election fraud. No! It was just a rando video, a stupid video, and at the end, it wasn't the Obamas at the end, it was Trump at the end walking through with a lion on a li- his head positioned on the lion and he walks through to the- toward the screen at the end. That's how it ended. This is exactly what all the Republican podcasters are saying is it wasn't racist at all.

33:56 I didn't say that. I didn't say it wasn't racist. I said that what their description of it is wrong. Correct. But that's not what the video was. So I finally got... a copy of the video that was the minute before the two seconds. And that was, I would say, something that needed to be covered up by outrage about the racist video. Mission investigation team obtained forensic access to a DS-200 tabulator, the machine that counts the votes. A TELINT 4G wireless chip manufactured in Taiwan was discovered embedded into the motherboard.

34:33 The voting machine tapes clearly indicate modem engagement and transmission of election data. Some of the anomalies that we noticed in the 2020 general elections, that five key states all stopped counting at a certain time in these key battleground states. These were all where the software, the mini machines, the SNS machines were used, the Smartmatic, the Gems software. So when the vote stopped counting, and this has been noted in other countries as well. President Trump was significantly ahead when reporting and counting resumed. There was a massive spike occurred that favored Joe Biden.

35:15 That's the whole video with that little bit at the end. So it's a forensic investigation showing how the Smartmatic software and the Dominion voting machine stopped counting all in five key districts all at the same time. And then after they started recounting, then Biden just spiked above Trump. That was interesting. Yes, that was that has been that little in that information isn't floating around because they the people that make the Machine said they couldn't be accessed through the internet and you couldn't have anything overseas Had a G4 modem chip on it. Yeah, so of course we had and so now the question is was that an intentional? Two second at the end

36:11 Was it really a mistake? Was it sabotage? Because for sure, none of the news outlets actually discussed it. All they said, oh, that was just Trump claiming that the election was stolen. No, it was forensic evidence that was a lot more interesting than Trump claiming the elections weren't stolen. So this is either the botch of the century, which I think it was probably, or Someone within the White House, whoever is responsible for posting that, sabotaged it. And I think the president... That's very reasonable. Yeah, I think it's super reasonable. Yeah, I think that's probably what happened. And if I remember, I thought on Friday the president was talking about, oh, something big coming, something big coming. And this might have been the beginning of something big. And remember, they still have Maduro.

37:09 Well, they also had, they released the documents about the Fulton County thing. I thought I had a clip, but I guess I don't. They released the warrant, the details, and it has to do with some, I guess some, I really think some whistleblower came up and said, hey, you guys have been looking at this and looking at that, but you're not looking in the right place for the right thing. Look at this. Or maybe Maduro. And Maduro could have some, yeah, I'm not, we can't give up on Maduro being part of this whole thing. No, I'm not giving up on him at all. So, but, I mean, what a botch. What an incredible botch. Because they just get to dismiss it. And Google, for all I can tell, just wiped it. No residual data on their hard drives for that video.

38:00 Gemini and then I went to Grok. Grok find this for me. It's been deleted the post the president took it down I can't find it. You have to look around on X maybe you can find it, huh? Yeah, it should be able to find it. Well, I did eventually. This is a big shot. Oh the big shot AI can't do this? No. It's gonna do all these things for you, but it can't find a video? Give me a break. There's a good post. I've been using, you know, I've been using, you can use AI in the olden days. This is a little sidebar. In the olden days, you could use Google to get people's email addresses. Yeah, yeah. I kind of remember that. Yeah, you could. All you had to do is if you knew the last thing you could pretty much work it around by doing the, if you knew what the domain was at something or other, you can get their email address.

38:53 And then they stopped doing that, because, oh, I don't know, privacy. And so that, so. Oh no, privacy? Oh, what about your dog? Privacy, you can't give somebody an email address out. So I've been noticing that you can get email addresses with the AI systems. Grok can give them, you can find them, and so can Perplexity and Anthropic. They can all find email addresses sometimes, because I've noticed that You have to ask if you did is a tip for be a look for people's email addresses You have to add you have to specifically ask for its public email address, which is the email address? So you ask for the email address, but if you don't do it couch it right I know perplexity came back with

39:36 They gave me the email address and I asked again for something else. They said, we can't even come close to doing this because it's a privacy concern. I'm thinking, what is this thing, what are these things doing? I mean, they have all these crazy rules and regulations out of the blue. They have, you know, I guess there's guardrails that are coded in, but it's like, it's just rando. But you can use, you can find people's email addresses, it seems to me. Well, I'm asking it now to find Adam Curry's public email address. We'll see if it pops up. There was an interesting post that this guy wrote that's been going around. I don't know if you got it from Matt Schumer. Matt Schumer is apparently, I guess he has an AI company and he sold that and he has a couple of his investments in AI companies. And he wrote this essay called Something Big Is Happening.

40:31 Oh look, Adam Curry's primary public email address, which he frequently mentions on the No Agenda podcast for listener feedback and producer communication, is adamatcurry.com. For inquiries specifically related to merchandise or the No Agenda shop, email is shop at noagendashop.com. Well that's nice, they're promoting our merch. Didn't ask for it, but it's promoting the merch. And what this guy says, and I think this is probably true, that all of the AI companies have focused their model training on coding. And I would have to say that that appears to be true because this whole system that I built within a day or two and fixed a bug that we had on the last show, I just built it by telling it what I wanted it to do. And it did it.

41:25 You have to know something about systems for sure, otherwise you probably won't be very successful. But the coding part, I think there's something there. I mean, it's not, I mean, it's too expensive for them to run it, but man, it does some really cool things. Yeah, everybody thinks so. Yeah. I had this, what is this from... You know but then again, so what? That it serves a small percentage of the community. What is the percentage of people that care to code? You know, dare to code, care to code. It's not that many. Well, no.

42:08 It couldn't find the video for you, but it could code some, some, you know, Linux, uh, some programs for your Linux. So just, just stay with me. I'm, I'm, I'm a little more cautious about AI is no good now because you definitely can create, if you know what you're doing and what you really want and you understand a systems, you have to understand systems. People have no idea how computers work. They don't understand systems. But if you understand the basics of systems, then you can create something that could enhance your own productivity. You can create a service. I mean, it's not like you, I don't think you're going to create a company overnight like, oh, look at this, this widget I made. I can charge money for this. Probably not. But when it comes to productivity, it's already done things for this show.

42:58 Oh, tons. In fact, I wanted to compliment Darren O'Neill for doing the art for my last Substack column on toxoplasmosis and the crazy liberal women. And so I asked Darren to do some art. And he comes back with 18 stunning pieces. But beside art, John, we know it can do arts. Well yeah, but art is an example. This is similar to coding. I mean, it's good at it. Yes, it's good at it. But you have to be good as the guy

43:36 Telling you what to do. Yes. It's not everybody that can do that. Well again, you have to understand what the ultimate outcome is going to be and Darren understands us understands what we like understands the show understands the dynamics of Album art which is not something you hang on the wall. You can't blow it up and then oh look at all these little details He gets that but but that's that's kind of my point. I think I Well, actually it came because there was this clip about UC Berkeley or the...

44:11 The University of California system is seeing a drop in computer science enrollment. Listen to this. It was once a degree to some of the highest paying jobs in the world, but now the University of California is seeing a drop in enrollment for computer science. Let's go to bring in our business and tech reporter Scott Budman. Scott, I saw that this hasn't happened since the dot com bust. So is this a bad sign for tech? You know, it really could be, but things are a little bit different than they were back in 99 and 2000. And Audrey, as you can imagine, when all those stocks fell and the companies went out of business, it was really tough for a young person to say, you know what I want to do right now is get a job in tech and get a job in computer science. Since then, though, as tech has gone up, a lot of the people have said, hey, CS is a great way to get in there. I'm going to learn to code. I'm going to get an entry level job. And it's only in the last couple of years we've seen those jobs decline. Why?

45:02 Well, of course, artificial intelligence. A lot of students coming out of school with that coveted computer science degree only to find out that either the internship or the entry level job is being done by a bot. And that is discouraging a lot of people. And so for the first time in quite some time, all but one UC campus, we'll get to that in a minute, has seen a decline in computer science degrees and majors. Students are just wary of, and parents frankly, spending all that time and money and effort to come out and find out that your job, at least your entry-level job, is being done by a machine. Yeah, well, I don't know what they're teaching in computer science anymore. But I would say if you have a kid and you want this kid to be successful and be able to utilize what now seems to be the main outside creating art and writing your resume, which anyone still I have not seen AI do anything really spectacular with creative writing or just I just yet it's just not yet. It could come.

46:05 You know, give your kid the old laptop, any computer you've got, tell them to install Linux and use an AI chat thing to help them install it so they'll understand, customize it. And then once you understand a system, which I doubt is being taught in computer science anymore. You know, like... It was supposed to be taught in high school. Oh, please. They're just showing you how to use the mouse. I don't... I mean, prove me wrong, educators. It's not like we understand, you took apart a whole IBM PC live on TV. Big deal. No, but you understand the controllers, do people even understand the hard disk anymore? There used to be one of our, one of the talent at Mevio who we both know well.

47:05 of famous, semi-famous guy. I was over at his house and he was having some issues with his computer and I'm, you know, like a fixer. And so I say, well, let's, we gotta, okay, well, first thing we gotta pull out this memory. The RAM, he had to, he said, and he, I've never seen a guy get so nervous. You're pulling something out. I'm pulling the RAM out of his machine and it's like, am I gonna lose it? No, am I gonna lose anything? Am I all my day? Is everything gonna be... It's the RAM. He doesn't know what it is. And I had tried to explain it to him, but it's the random access memory. It's just, it doesn't do anything when the machine's off. It's just, it's just, it's nothing. There's nothing to it. You're removing my memory, my files. They're gone.

47:52 There's nothing there. This is my point. iPhones or smartphones in particular have obfuscated storage. People only know storage is how many pictures can I put on it? They're not thinking about anything else. How many, and it's sold that way. Well, you want the 256 gigabytes, you can put lots of pictures on it and lots of songs, but they don't understand storage or just all these, these very basics. No, they don't know that. It's unbelievable. They don't know the difference between random access memory and, and, and it's storage memory. So there, I think outside of becoming a,

48:30 of getting a vocation, plumber, electrician, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. If you really want to be in knowledge work and being able, I think there will be a huge opportunity for people who understand a system to be able to create custom systems for any workplace, including a podcast. That's kind of the point I'm making. is that this stuff can be used for great benefit for productivity if you at least understand how systems work and you really can describe what you want to get out of the other end.

49:07 Now, according to the CEO of Microsoft AI, nah, you're all dead. You talk about superintelligence. Most of your rivals talk about AGI, artificial general intelligence. Explain the difference between AGI and superintelligence. I prefer the definition that focuses first on what would it take to build a system that could achieve most of the tasks that a regular professional in a workplace goes about on a daily basis. Think of it as a professional grade AGI. How close are we? I think that we're going to have a human level performance on most if not all professional tasks. So white collar work where you're sitting down at a computer

49:50 either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person, most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months. And we can see this in software engineering. Many software engineers report that they are now using AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production, which means that their role has shifted now to this meta function of debugging, scrutinizing, of doing the strategic stuff like architecting, of you know, etc. etc. putting things into production. So it's a quite different relationship to the technology and that's happened in the last six months.

50:30 I'm going to presume that if you're, if you have a law firm and you're uploading, you're putting contracts in and saying, summarize this, I'm going to presume that you are actually helping to add data to train these models on the next go around. Well, the models aren't doing it themselves. This is the thing that's overlooked here. Yeah. Okay. Everyone's using the AI to do coding. You, you included. But it's not like it's doing it on its own without you even having anything to do with it. You have to, you're telling it what to do and you know what should come out. All it's doing is increasing your productivity. It's not eliminating you. You haven't been eliminated. You're still stuck there.

51:15 Listen, I'm trying to eliminate myself here. It can't be done. And it's the same thing with AGI. They're talking about, oh, this and that's going to replace. No, it's not. It's going to increase productivity. There's no doubt about that. I mean, when Darren sent me the 18 pieces, if he had done those by hand, it would have taken him a year. Well, this is an interesting example because One Darren has eliminated 300 other prompters who just can't cut it and every single original artist. So yeah, it's enhanced Darren's productivity, but you can't deny that other people have been... Obviously just they are eliminated. They're gone. They're dead. Jim. Even Nick the Rat who did so much of our art. He was the leaderboard leader. Still is. But he can't...

52:13 Get something in a compete he can't compete so that's my point This is like a carpenter that you know when the first hammer was invented I mean come on the guy with the hammers the guy you're gonna get all the work It's just the same thing. It's like yeah, this is true. It's it does people who learn to use the new tool and will do better than people that have failed to move to this. It's like when Photoshop first showed up. I mean, the artists that use Photoshop could be more productive because they could work with the art directors and say, you know, I like your art, but I think if the background was blue, oh God, I'd do the whole piece over again. Or no, with Photoshop, you touch this and that, the whole background's blue all of a sudden, just instantly. And so that, if you're gonna ignore the tools, yeah, you're gonna be out of a job.

53:05 Or if you just can't get into the tool. Yeah, well this is a IQ issue. You're too dumb for AI. You're too dumb for AI. Or you don't want to, or you're stuck in the mud, or you're one of the, or you're just one of these people that just, ah, sucks. Which, you know, it sounds like I should be that way, but I'm not. No, but I think I'm crawling back a little bit. I see great advantage in this. I still think it will have to be decentralized and people will use open source models in different scenarios. I just, I don't see how the scaling, the hyperscalers

53:50 how they can make the money part work because they have to. They can't. They can't. Yeah, they have to satisfy everybody. This is face reality. This is not going to work. Well, it will work on a decentralized at home or in a group basis, open source. Yeah, I mean, it works as a tool and people are taking advantage of it. But in terms of a, it's hard to say what, there's got to be an analogy for this. Something like this has taken place before where you have something... An analog, not an analogy. Well, okay. How about this? Metropolitan fiber systems. This is, I think, a good analog. We had the dot-com boom, everyone's flipping out, we need lots of bandwidth, we need bandwidth, bandwidth, need tons of bandwidth. They lay fiber, all dark fiber, all around the country and they go broke.

54:37 Yes, they did. And the fiber is still there. There's fiber all over the country. But it got picked up. It got picked up by other people. They scrounge your prices. Yes. So data centers with big machines everywhere. I'm thinking 18 months down the road, Mr. Microsoft AI CEO, I'm going to go hang out at some data centers and pick me up some NVIDIA cards, bring them home, and it'll be pretty cool. That's what I see happening. Of course... No, that's actually not a bad scenario. I think that as a predictive... I think you're on to something. Well, I'm gonna... I just haven't had time, but I'm gonna load up that Quen 3-TTS model, which is, for everything I can tell from the demos, better than 11 labs at sampling my own voice. Yeah, you should say that. I'm gonna get it done. Well, that's a perfect example.

55:37 11 labs is the one I actually spend money on. And it's not cheap. Before you know, burning tokens, burning tokens, that's another good one. This is like the magic money. This is like a stripper operation. It's like a topless bar where you go and you get tokens for the girls or fake money. Tokens or stripper money. Yes. And I love Apple who I think they're stupid over there. They still want to incorporate AI and make Siri helpful.

56:17 They just came out with an announcement, oh well. Has it been two years now they've been saying, oh we're going to put it in the next release, the next release, the next release, and I read this report from Bloomberg. The company is now working to spread the new capabilities out over future versions, possibly postponing at least some features until at least iOS 26.5 or iOS 27, whenever those are due. Here's the line. Testing has uncovered problems with the software, including issues with Siri properly processing queries, taking too long to handle requests, and accuracy issues. Well, yeah, that's AI. That's what AI is. Takes too long sometimes, has inaccuracy issues. Are they going to try and make this thing perfect? I think that's... Well, they're nuts if they think that's going to happen. I think that's exactly what they're doing. I think it's a mistake.

57:13 So, anyway, I'm a little more bullish on billable hours type jobs, you know, like paralegals. I'll talk to Rob about it, the constitutional lawyer. It seems to me that once... See, the beauty about code is if you make a mistake in code, the code doesn't run. That's the beauty of it. Syntax is everything. So that's a very defined language skill that these models have. When it comes to legality, and I don't know, I think you can do certain contracts and stuff. It seems like that would be possible to do. You don't think so? Yeah, well, contracts are all boilerplate, so it shouldn't be that hard. Yeah, right. But that will reduce someone's job somewhere.

58:03 I think that's what they're saying. Entry-level white-collar jobs. I am so happy I'm a podcaster right now. Can you imagine? Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, I'm very happy. Anyway, NPR jumps on the bandwagon and... They're still talking about the the obvious problem of people using their chatbot for emotional support in the US 90% of schools say they're concerned about the mental health effects of students online lives Nearly half report daily incidents of digital harm and over 60% digital harm emotional support often before reaching out to a person

58:46 That's according to new data from Linewise, a company that tracks student mental health. Harrison Parker is the vice president of that group. They are becoming AI imaginary friend for these kids. And what started out as curiosity for them has really increased or changed into something far more concerning. In the UK, that number jumps to 70 percent. And in Australia, nearly three in four schools say tech is moving faster than their ability to respond. Winsor Johnston, NPR News. So according to CNBC, AI companies Anthropic and Meta, this will irk you, are hiring social media creators to post sponsored content on apps like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn and paying said creators between $400,000 and $600,000 for long-term partnerships spanning several months.

59:58 I love AI. Don't you, John? Wow. Don't you love AI? Don't you think Anthropic is great? Huh? Come on. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. That reminds me of the Super Bowl commercials going back to that earlier thing where they had these anthropic and I guess chat the chat open AI commercials that were battling it. They were Coke and Pepsi. Okay, hold on. We're better than you are. No, you suck. Hold on. Hold on. Super Bowl commercials. The last time we had a like a category in Super Bowl, we had crypto, we had FTX and we had crypto.com and what happened? Blow up. Yeah, it all crept out. Before that, Super Bowl, pets.com, groceries.com. What happened after that? Yeah, it crept out. So this would, you'd think for Spell,

1:00:56 Forespell? Forespell. That's Dutchism. I can't believe I said that. Wow, I never heard of it. Forespelling is the Dutch. I don't know what happened. I was talking to my daughter today. Might have been that conversation. Would, what's the word I'm looking for, for forespell? Well, now you've got forespell stuck in my head. Foretell. Foretell. I like force spell. I like force spell. I think it's a cool phrase. Word or whatever it is. That would mean doom is on the way for at least some companies. Doom is obviously on the way. Yeah.

1:01:37 I mean, we all know this, it's dooms on the way. It's going to take the whole market with it. It's going to be a nightmare. The whole economy. It's going to happen the way I see it. I'm trying to think, you know, they would like to, the Democrats are doing so, back to what our theme is for today's show. The Democrats are doing so well with the midterms that, you know, what an old trick is to crash the economy before an election and then the president gets blamed. But you can't take a chance. Why take a chance? You don't want to take a chance when things are going so well and you already know you're gonna kick ass. And so what's gonna happen is that they're gonna, I think the Democrats will do their thing and take over the House and start to wanna impeach Trump a couple more times. And then there'll be a crash right afterwards. It'll be blamed on the Democrats, but it won't make any difference.

1:02:32 the, because there's a fear that the Democrats could get blamed for a crash. I mean, they can't take a chance. So it's not, we're going to have a good economy until the midterms and then it's AI is going to bring the whole thing down. Well, I like that prediction. It's a terrible prediction. I brought something like this up with Horowitz and he was not happy. I like it as a prediction. NPR is already working hard for the Democrat party and focusing very much on affordability. And I have a couple of short clips. Mara, how are these voters, these are voters who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and Donald Trump in 2024, how are they feeling about the economy right now? I would say they're feeling pretty bad. I mean, some of them mentioned some good things like gas prices going down, but they talked about groceries and health care and housing being too expensive. One woman said the state of the economy sucks.

1:03:32 I everything is spiraling out of control the cost of living layoffs Businesses are closing. It was a pretty dire view. I think they are willing to give Trump some time to fix it. I There was a big debate about whether it was his economy, whether he was at fault or was it still Biden's fault. But I think that nothing in our focus group diverged from national polling, which shows that people are very, very sour on the economy. So there's the big question. Was it, is it Trump's economy or Biden's economy? So are these, again, these are voters who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 and they're feeling more anxious after he's taken office. Are they blaming him for that?

1:04:11 Well, I think there's been a debate about how much to blame Trump for this. Some people said tariffs were raising prices. Other people said it's Biden's fault. That certainly is Trump's message. and these voters are hearing it a lot based on the news sources that they consume. But that's gonna be the big battle in the midterms to say whether this is Trump's economy or Biden's economy. And this is from the NPR Politics podcast, one more. One of my takeaways was how much all these things get conflated, the economy, immigration, foreign policy kind of adds up to chaos and anxiety for voters. Here's one voter named Nancy who explained how all this makes her feel.

1:04:52 Well, I like a few of his policies and things he's done. The issues I have are the big ones with things like tariffs, you know, financial impacts on our economy, the way he's handling the whole ICE thing, trying to start wars everywhere, Venezuela, trying to take over Greenland, everything like that. This is a very informed voter. The whole ICE thing, he's taking over Greenland. You know, financial impact on our economy, the way he's handling the whole ICE thing, trying to start wars everywhere, Venezuela, trying to take over Greenland. Starting wars. What is she consuming? She's a Republican, I guess? No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. And everything like that, it's just so chaotic that all the bad stuff just kind of eliminates the good. That's so interesting. The chaos thing, it feels like the most predictable part of a Trump presidency. I mean, we saw this already in four years of Trump's first term. Are these voters surprised by that level of uncertainty? We didn't ask them if they were surprised. They just don't like it.

1:05:45 Okay. I mean, what was that all about? Let's listen to that. They were surprised. They just don't like it. I'm faking gay. Okay. I mean, they do seem like voters though, who considering they supported Trump in 2024 would be receptive to his spin on some of the economic stuff. Just because you voted for Trump doesn't mean you like every single thing about him. And that's what these voters were telling us. That they like certain things. But I guess I'm just trying to drill down on why are there no rose-colored glasses the way that President Trump has been trying to push. Like, there are positives that you can find in the economy right now. Record stock market. I feel like they... Right, you can't eat GDP.

1:06:28 This is about prices, not the rate of inflation. This is about everyday, the people's everyday lives. And even though, yes, the stock market is good, GDP is good, but they're having to pay more, as they told us, for housing, healthcare, groceries. Yeah, groceries came up a lot. That was something that people were mentioned over and over again is that groceries still remain too high. They saw those prices take up during COVID and they really have not seen the meaning fleet go down for the exception of eggs. Now, instead of NPR explaining how inflation works, they just go along and say, well, they haven't seen prices come down except for eggs prices, prices coming down. John C. Dvorak will explain.

1:07:10 Well, there's not much to explain. I harp on this and somebody sent me a note complaining about my harping. I think it's good harping. People need to hear it. Inflation is cumulative. It doesn't go down. If you have a 2% inflation rate, that means things continue to go down. to grow at a percentage at 2%. And it gets higher and higher and higher, and it doesn't back off. I mean, the egg thing is an anomaly because that had to do with the culling of the chickens because of bird flu. It's got nothing to do with anything. So egg prices just shouldn't even be taken into account. Energy prices are the only things that'll go up and down a bit, and it does have an overall effect because if it costs less to move stuff around, then you can sell it for less money.

1:07:53 And so energy prices are the only thing that you can expect to come down and maybe have some minor influence. But when it comes to the basic price of groceries, whatever you're paying today is what you're going to be paying. Generally speaking, with very little, it's not going to start deflating because if you have a deflation economy, which is what everyone seems to want, You go into a deflationary economy, you basically break the back of the economy because nobody buys anything during a deflation period. Because why should I buy today when it'll be cheaper tomorrow? So they just hold onto their money. Everything collapses. So you just stuck with the situation the way it is and bitching and moaning about it doesn't help. I think the president did himself no favors by saying, I'll bring prices down. He was pretty, pretty bold about the generic. I'll bring prices down bit.

1:08:41 Well, he was also like when we get into the I have some clips here on on What who's this about the hearings that we had? Oh, this is a gracious, you know Bondi I got three clips. I curse YouTube TV for putting C-SPAN on I curse you Well, I have, you know, I've tried to figure out, so Pam Bondi goes, this is a classic example of the mistakes the administration is making that will affect the midterms. And Bondi is the best example of it. So I got these three BBC clips, which I think, because they have an analyst come in, who's obviously, you know, biased against Trump, but I have to agree with everything he says

1:09:27 about Bondi she gets into a she goes into front of Congress and they she gets into a big battle with everybody because she won't answer questions to the Democrats and Democrats are a whole you're a failed lawyer I mean okay it's ridiculous yeah a lawyer thing Raskin was funny though I mean Raskin's dick and he's a communist and he's the worst person in Congress and she goes after it with him. But again, you want to play these clips? Yeah, of course. Of course. This is great. This is the BBC report on the hearings. I mean, I could have gone and gotten clips. No, everyone's doing that. Yeah, no, this analysis is better. Then you'd be Megyn Kelly.

1:10:12 over there, clip me, clip me, put it on social media. cover up. The lawmakers criticized a slow release of documents and the choice to censor names of alleged co-conspirators over those of victims. Here's one particularly heated exchange between Pam Bondi and Republican Congressman Thomas Massey. My position is any victim who comes forward, of course, we would love to hear from them. 1-800-CALL-FBI. Did you ask

1:10:59 ask Merrick Garland that the last four years? Did you talk about Epstein? I'm reclaiming my time. I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland. Because this is bigger than Watergate. This goes over four administrations. You don't have to go back to Biden. Let's go back to Obama. Let's go back to George Bush. This cover up spans decades and you are responsible for this portion of it. Now, Pam Bondi admitted in a letter to federal judges this week that mistakes were made in the Epstein case. But at Wednesday's congressional hearing, the attorney general defended her department's strategy, saying hundreds of lawyers worked on a compressed timeline to review millions of pages, and that any disclosure of victims' identities were inadvertent. Take a listen. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the Epstein survivors who are here today. I'm a career prosecutor.

1:11:50 despite what the ranking member said. I have spent my entire career fighting for victims, and I will continue to do so. I am deeply sorry for what any victim, any victim has been through, especially as a result of that monster. The Department of Justice is committed to holding criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law. I still would like a news outlet to give me a definition of victim, you know? Were you a victim because you were underage? Were you a victim because you got sucked up into something you should have stayed away with? Stayed away from?

1:12:34 You know, just throw out victims and survivors and I'd like to know a little bit more. Yeah, I'm in agreement with you on this. It's vague. It's very vague. The whole thing is very vague. And so they bring this guy on to talk about... Let me just add to that. Is there a victim who was truly underage and sexually abused by Epstein or any of the co-conspirators? If so, Why can't they speak? Why are they not out there speaking about it? I wonder myself. I don't understand. It seems like that would be a good thing to do. Tell us what happened. Where's the 60 minutes interview? It seems like, it feels like something's missing here from the equation if it is what we're told it is. There's something missing. But I think there's a lot missing.

1:13:25 And of course, did you see the video that guy sent this morning that floated over this? It was a song presented the history of Epstein based in a song form. Oh, the video? Yeah, I've seen that. Where they got everybody tied up in one big giant ball. It's dynamite. It's dynamite. That's worth the $1.3 trillion investment right there. So they bring this guy and I have to agree with this guy and his analysis of Bonn. I mean, of course, the two of us, I think you, I think. I think Bondi's a doofus. She's not talented and she's combative and she doesn't present well. She's not well-spoken and her argument's weak and she snaps and she doesn't do anything. She's a do-nothing. Well, it's almost as though they're making the public suffer because

1:14:21 Matt gates didn't get kicked out of the who's the original choice who would have probably been an interesting Attorney General I think yeah, but they kicked him out and he didn't even get back into Congress and he They're making us suffer. Well. I mean the correct way to handle a hostile Congress interrogation is is not this way. You want to be cool, you want to have sharp... That's why Rubio is so good at it. Yes, yes. And Rubio has very sharp, very fast, good answers. Parades like no one else. But Bondi just goes, you're a fake, failed lawyer.

1:15:02 You don't care about people killed by illegal immigrants. Like, okay, you're mixing apples with oranges. I understand it was, it should have been about ICE and DHS. I believe that's what the session was for, but it obviously devolved into Epstein. And you know, just sit there, well, you don't care that a sitting Congresswoman took money from Epstein. You don't care that you took money from Epstein, Ro Khanna, Rohana. You know, it's like that's not that's what they call bullcrap. No, she's not doing a good job. No. But then it gets compounded as we listen to when we listen to this analyst who has a lot to say. Let's speak about that congressional hearing today with Ankush Kardori, senior writer for Political Magazine and a former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice. It's good to have you back with us on the program today. What do you think we learned, if anything, from the hearing today?

1:15:58 We learned nothing except we learned a little bit more for people who already didn't know about the professionalism or utter lack thereof of the top law enforcement official in our country. I thought, let me put it this way. If you saw someone acting like she did today, like at the table over at a restaurant, if you were out to dinner, you would ask yourself, is this person okay? And you'd probably ask management to escort them from the restaurant. This is now the person who was our Attorney General. I thought it was an embarrassment to her, the department, and frankly our country on their international stage. Also, why isn't anyone asking like the people who are in the emails talking about pizza and jerky? That's something I'd like to understand. Do you really put jerky in the freezer? Could you explain that to me? This is what I'm interested in, if anything.

1:16:51 No, there's none of that. No one asked. You're never gonna get any of that. That's verboten. Yeah. Okay, so onward. That was... Sorry. You're still in clip two or... We're on to... Three is lined up and good to go in my Linux playout system. Good. But, Ankush, if you look at the exchanges there, there were certainly plenty of shouting going back and forth with Democrats as well. So, I mean, what was the point for Democrats here? Is this about viral clips that they can post online as well? Well, look, yeah, I mean, look, part of these hearings always have a performative element to them. Unfortunately, in this day and age, yeah, I think many members are focused on getting bites that they can post to their social media. But I kind of, yeah, they were going back and forth with Democrats, but she wasn't answering their questions.

1:17:37 And she was yelling at them, and she was trying to change the subject. She was filibustering endless non sequiturs. So this was her fault. The point that she made a few times there is, why did you not ask these questions of Merrick Garland, who was the attorney general under Joe Biden? And that again is a point that the Trump administration and many of President Trump's allies have made, that Democrats are taking advantage of the Epstein files to try to detract from the administration. What do you make of that argument? Yes, the logic of a five-year-old. This administration came into office promising to release this material. They then spent all yet last year hemming, hawing, backtracking, undertaking really disgusting efforts to mislead the public, including spending two days with Jillian Maxwell as if she's not a monster. And so, you know, and then we had Pam Bondi with the binders and the clientless is on my desk. I mean, they created this mess.

1:18:31 So yes, there is an element of politics on the side of the Democrats, for sure. I was not a fan of this law. I didn't want it to pass, so don't get me wrong on that. But the state of affairs in our country right now is a function of the fact that the president, his vice president, his FBI director, and until recently, deputy FBI director, spent years spitting up these conspiracy theories. So it's kind of nuts for her, of all people, to like try to make this someone else's problem. She is the one who did multiple Fox interviews last year, hyping this up, the binders, more is coming, the client list, yada, yada, yada. Yada, yada, yada. Well, he said yada, yada, yada. Well, the point I think he made, which I agree with, is that she brought this on herself. She had to, oh, it's on my desk. Oh, here's the binders. Here's this. She's terrible. Yes, I completely agree with that. That was an idiotic move.

1:19:23 That's really, that's what screwed it all up. Yeah. It's her. Yeah, she's gotta go. I have a couple of clips about this. What? What? Hmm. What? Well, my browser's not working right. Well, are you using Bravo? No, I'm using HBO. This is Prime Minister's question time because of course what's happening in the EU and the UK is much more interesting as it pertains to the Epstein files.

1:19:59 Yes, by far. And Keir Starmer is under a lot of scrutiny and stress, mainly because, you know, all they talk about is, well, you knew he was a sex trafficker, you knew all this. How about the fact that he was leaking Really sensitive information about a 500 billion euro bailout during 2008, five minutes after he found out, devaluation of the pound five minutes after he found out, telling Epstein that. I mean, think about the people who were in on that gambit.

1:20:38 If you, I mean when it comes to foreign exchange, if you know there's a big bailout coming and it's secret, place your bets. Oh yeah, no it's easy money. And if Epstein knew it, then he probably called all of his buddies. That's an outrage. Anyway, here's Prime Minister's question time. In January 2024, a journalist from the Financial Times informed the Prime Minister that Mandelson had stayed in Epstein's house even after that conviction for child prostitution. So did the Prime Minister conveniently forget this fact

1:21:28 or did he decide it was a risk worth taking? Mr Speaker, as the House would expect, we went through a process. There was a due diligence exercise and then there was security vetting by the security services. What was not known was the depth, the sheer depth and extent of the relationship. He lied about that to everyone for years. A new information was published in September showing the relationship was materially different to what

1:22:10 to what we've been led to believe. When the new information came to light, I sacked him. Oh yes, I sacked him. You already knew. You already knew. And now the guys working for Starmer are bailing. The rats are leaving the ship. It's the second high-profile exit from Keir Starmer's entourage in as many days. Tim Allen, the UK Prime Minister's communications chief, said he was standing down to make way for a new team to be built at No. 10 Downing Street. It's part of the fallout over Kirstahmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the United States, despite knowing Mandelson had maintained links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

1:22:54 On Sunday, Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney quit. In a statement, McSweeney said he took responsibility for pushing the appointment of Mandelson. It was interpreted in the British press as a move to buy the Prime Minister more time. Starmer, though, is still facing calls to step down, including from the leader of Scotland's Labour Party. Meanwhile, Conservative Party leader Kemi Bédinoc accused him of being unable to run his government. The Prime Minister is the architect of his own misfortunes. Right now we have a government that's focusing purely on its own internal psychodrama. Enough of that. It is time for them to get a grip and start governing the country. Controversy around Peter Mandelson reignited after a new batch of files related to Jeffrey Epstein were released just over a week ago in the United States.

1:23:43 Documents appeared to indicate Mandelstam had leaked sensitive information to Epstein while he was a government minister. There were also records of payments from Epstein to accounts linked to the British politician or his partner. Stahmer sacked the US ambassador in September, but the latest revelations prompted Mandelstam to resign from the Labour Party and the House of Lords while police are investigating him for potential misconduct in public office. On Monday, a spokesperson for Kirstahmer said he was focused on getting the job done and had no plans to step aside. That Mandelson, man, they don't really, the BBC doesn't even say it. He was sensitive information that was world shattering information. Then, well, you know, hey, if you're going to send 75,000 to my husband, my partner, just say it's a loan so there'll be no tax implication for him.

1:24:38 But come on! The corruption! By the by. I saved myself. See, you're better than I am at this. By the by. Annoying as hell. By the way of Jesus. I don't think Mandelson is long for this world. There's got to be more. There's got to be a lot more and nobody wants anyone snooping around Mandelson. You know, there's also the strange thing I put in the, I think it was in a newsletter I mentioned, is the gay angle all of a sudden shows up. With this Russian guy who works with Bill Gates and he wants to meet some boys or something, and they're kind of going back and forth, some emails that he discovered, and he wants to meet Kevin Spacey, who is, you know... Because Kevin knows all the young boys.

1:25:33 Yeah, basically, you know, it's just the whole thing is like it's tawdry and it's dimensionally tawdry. Yes, tawdry. I like that. It's tawdry. That's a very good term. Tawdry. Gordon Brown comes out trying to give some kind of defense for Kirstarmer. Another one of them. Another great guy. Well he has clearly said it was the wrong decision and it was the wrong decision just as I made a mistake, he made a mistake but equally I think you've got to say of Kirstarmer that there's very few people... What was Gordon Brown's mistake? I don't know, I don't remember. Something.

1:26:13 He made a mistake. Besides breaking the Bank of England. Besides that, yeah. Minor mistake. A mistake. He made a mistake. But equally, I think you've got to say of Keir Starmer, there's very few people that you can say have got the same amount of integrity as Keir Starmer has. He was director of public prosecutions, did a brilliant job. He's a senior public... He was in charge of prosecutions. That is the guy who should absolutely know that it was not a good idea to put Mandelson in. Or... Maybe the most brilliant idea ever hmm director of public prosecutions did a brilliant job He's a serious man who wants to do the right thing in British politics if he made a mistake he owns up to it But I think the question now for Keir Starmer is is he prepared and will he be prepared to bring in the reforms that are necessary to end these abuses what we're dealing with what reforms are you gonna bring in to end these abuses what what is he talking about

1:27:09 reforms. by politicians and their cronies, Gordon Brown. transparency in the system, all these things. And by the way I did a report for Kier recommending all that this be done and this is the report that should be taken up. There are four areas where we need to make major reforms. They could be done within weeks with the support of members of Parliament in the House of Commons and I believe it would be possible. We could start to clean up the system from tomorrow but it's got to be done.

1:28:10 You know, what this has created is a complete, on the heels of COVID, obviously, a complete and total lack of trust for government. Across the board, every country, everywhere, no one, no one trusts government anymore. Not even those, the nut jobs protesting in Minneapolis. And I don't know if, can any country recover from that? What are the historical analogs to this? Well, the history of the United States, I think, is part of it. Yeah, and what do we wind up in? In the 1800s, we had a bunch of doofuses running things. And what happened? What happened when the... You come out of it somehow. I was looking for more of a historian angle there. Well, that's the best I can do. I'd hope for more. Well, yeah, you can hope all you want. Yeah, obviously.

1:29:13 And then we have, I was explaining to someone about the Olympics, about the IOC. I said, what's the IOC? The International Olympic Committee. And they have all these country committees. What is it? I said, it's the most corrupt organization, maybe, well, there's a couple that would rival it. Well, it's not the most, there's plenty of corrupt corporations. But what you do is you leave politics and then you go to the IOC. Every IOC of every country is filled with former politicians and they get paid for being part of the board and going on the board and they all have their buddies with big, you know, hey, I see advertising on the Olympics. I don't know about you.

1:29:54 It's a huge boondoggle, especially the Summer Olympics. We've got to build a stadium and that's going to bankrupt the country and then some dude will come in and buy it for a team that he just bought. It's a mess. It's a mess. But oh, don't worry, we'll take care of you.

1:30:31 Today, LA 28's executive board issuing a statement saying they've reviewed the situation and Wasserman fully cooperated. They say his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell did not go beyond what is publicly known and given Wasserman's strong leadership he will be staying on as chairman of LA 28. Of course, why not? I'm sure there'll be some hotties at the Olympics this year. Just let him do his thing. Yeah, that's a good one. It's complete, complete loss of trust, which for me had already happened. And someone pointed out, and that was a good point, that we, they keep reminding us, hey man, the lockdowns happened under Trump. Yes, absolutely. Trump got bamboozled too.

1:31:21 and still can't really admit that the vaccines were not a good idea, which is, I think, still very disappointing. Yeah, but he likes the idea that this warp speed, you know, he was responsible for it happening faster than ever and he's just kind of can't bring himself to think he was completely, he was bamboozled is the right word. And by the way, where was the first lockdown? By the way. He said, by the way, where was the first lockdown? Where was the first lockdown? China? And no, it was San Francisco. Oh, yes. Yes. And you have to continue to hound me. So I'm two to nothing on the on the on this. And I'll say this about the lockdowns. Trump didn't lock down anything. It was Burks who went to every single state, all the governors and convinced the governors to do it. That's why I don't like Abbott.

1:32:19 That's how that's how that went down. That was that was the that was the the back channel that was very successful And of course President Trump couldn't you liked Burke's when she first showed her weeks first two weeks. Yeah I mean you like your works fan you like saying that and and but it but after two weeks I think we very clearly saw it was going on and we may have saved lives and Well, we saw what was going on. I think it was triggered personally, at least what triggered me. I've thought about this, you know, why were we so...

1:32:56 caught up in this the way we were is because of that French Nobel Prize winner. Yeah. Yeah. Who's looked at the genome, at the map of the thing and said, this is bull crap. This thing is obviously created in a lab. And here's the reasons why. And he says, and what's this HIV thing doing in here? It doesn't make any sense. He says, don't worry about it. It'll just revert. Which it did. It has reverted just like he said. Today's COVID is nothing like the original. It's reverted back to a common cold. Flu. Or flu, yeah. I think one of the two. Unfortunately, we still have blowback. This is your Typical Report. This is also from KTLA.

1:33:38 The death of Dawson's Creek actor James Van Der Beek comes after he was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. His passing is renewing concern about a disease that's rising among younger adults. These are young men still in the primes of their career and now we lost them. According to the American Cancer Society, it's now the leading cause of cancer deaths in Americans under 50. About one in five new cases is diagnosed in someone under 55. Americans, we don't like to talk about the health of our butts. We don't. And so there's a certain shame and embarrassment surrounding that. Gustavo says he ignored his doctor's recommendation to get screened at 45 until a reminder during a physical pushed him to finally schedule a colonoscopy. And it said that they found three polyps.

1:34:31 I had even waited months more. They found three of them. How much bigger could they have been? Polyps can develop into cancer if left untreated. Doctors say that's why screenings are so important. If you can get it early. then you can completely eradicate it and you will have no further problems. If it's later stage, it could be widespread to other organs at the time you're diagnosed. Researchers are still working to understand exactly why cases are increasing in younger people. But doctors say whatever the cause, the solution starts with awareness.

1:35:08 What could the cause be? Yeah, it seems that this is something new. I wonder why. I have no idea. What could have changed? Was he an actor or somebody who was forced to get the vaccine to work? Oh man, there's gonna be such as so many openings in Hollywood. I hate to say it, but yeah. Meanwhile, the FDA just refused Moderna's application for an mRNA flu vaccine. Praise God. Someone, someone got smart over there. Thank you. Maybe RFK Jr. The one that... Oh, you know, this is just a momentary lapse. This will go back into full gear toward the other direction. You're so cynical. No, I'm not cynical. I'm a realist. No, stop with your realist. You're not always right. Not always. I mean, sometimes.

1:36:05 Did you see about this stuff? I'm pretty, pretty on the money. The, uh, the GLP one, the, uh, I'm still waiting for it to solve erectile dysfunction. Please stop sending me articles about how it enlarges the penis. It's not the same thing. Okay. People keep sending me this. You were right. No, it's when they say it solves erectile dysfunction, then I will be right. It's coming. It's coming, but right now one of the new sides... They have to roll this stuff out. This marketing 101, you don't throw everything at the side of the wall right away. You do one gob at a time and then when that catches on and you pick up some more of the market share, then you throw another thing out there and another thing. Your thing just happens to be low on the list. It's going to be at the bottom. It's going to be at the end. It's going to be the closing argument. It won't be a Hail Mary at the time. It'll be the how much more can we

1:37:05 Squeeze, squeeze out of it. Squeeze, what's the last drop we can get out of this bullcrap? One of the side effects, a very high profile side effect, comes to us from Robbie Williams, British pop singer. Oh yeah. I've always liked Robbie Williams. I've always liked his stuff. Famous. In the UK, but he's never really that big in the States. No, but he is famous in the big... Big, big. We just outsold the Beatles, I guess, in the UK, whatever that means. Or had more number one hits or something. He came out and said he was diagnosed with a 17th century pirate disease as a side effect. Scurvy? Yes, scurvy, exactly. But it's a vitamin C deficiency, it's no big deal. But it sounds cool when you say, Ozempic will give you scurvy. Yeah, I guess Ozempic will give you scurvy. Yeah, scurvy.

1:38:07 scurvy. I tell you, scurvy. I love it. I love scurvy. That's great. That's great. I wanted to get these clips out of the way. This is a, you know, as Nancy Guthrie thing was dominating the news, except on Ms. Now, which, you know, Can I just stop you for a second? What do you, what do you think happened? Do you think that it wasn't illegal that, uh, that killed her? At this point? Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. I think that's a reasonable, Reasonable assessment. What was the other one we were looking at? Oh, the pregnant astronaut. Do we have any more updates on that? No, not yet, but it's coming. She's going to have a baby and we'll know when that happens. Mimi says that Mimi had an offbeat thing. She was getting sick of it.

1:38:52 at the Guthrie stuff. And she says, I think she was the leader of a massive Mexican drug cartel. Okay, all right. The one I like is her husband worked for Clinton and she knew where the bodies were buried so they had to get rid of her. There are people who I know and love and have been corresponding with on email for a long time We're like, this is all set up. This is all, you know, it's just like, no, it's going to be a lot easier than that. Epstein used your house. Yeah. Was that coming out? Yeah. Oh, no, of course. Of course. All of that. And that's the problem when people lose trust in their government. They go nuts. Then everything is a conspiracy. And a lot of it is. But there's a lot of conspiracies, actual conspiracies.

1:39:42 Yeah, because it turns out. Yes. So while that was being covered to excess. Yes. The Canadian trans shooter. Oh yeah. And poo is pretty much dropped by the American media. And I think about that. Can't talk about that. I think it was a cover up because you own another. You can just see it in the editorial rooms. Do we have to bring this another trans shooter? This is getting tiresome. And so here we go, the BBC had a nice report. Here we go. Canada reels from one of the worst mass shootings in its history. Police named the suspect as 18-year-old Jesse Ranvritsilar. Eight people were killed and 25 people injured in the attacks at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a private home. It happened in the westernmost province of British Columbia in the remote town of Tumbler Ridge at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.

1:40:34 Six of the victims were killed at the town's secondary school. One died on their way to the hospital. Another two were found in a nearby house. In all, 25 other people were injured and police say the body of the suspected shooter was found at the school. Police say they don't yet have a motive and they gave this update to reporters. On February 10th at approximately 1.20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time at Tumbler Ridge, RCMP received a report of an active shooter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. A police-initiated public alert, PIPA, was issued as officers responded. Police from Tumbler Ridge RCMP and surrounding detachments responded immediately, with members from the local detachment arriving within two minutes of the initial call. Upon arrival, there was active gunfire, and as officers approached the school, rounds were fired in their direction.

1:41:27 Officers entered the school to locate the threat. Within minutes, an individual confirmed to be the shooter was located deceased with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The suspect has been identified as 18 year old Jesse van roots alar who is a resident of Tumbler Ridge? Two firearms a long gun and a modified handgun were recovered by responding officers Determining the origin of these firearms and what role they played in the shootings remains a significant part of the active and ongoing investigation Yeah, but role they played the people or the guns the guns and whatever the guns were the role they play was they shot people I saw a Post who knows if it's true

1:42:11 that a lot of the kids who were killed also seemed to be somewhat alternatively dressed and perhaps trans as well. Did you see any of that? No, I have not seen any evidence of that. The whole thing is horrible and so predictable. So predictable. And I guess there had already been problems at that home and they went to that home and they removed guns? Is Canada big on guns? It's a mining town, maybe that's it. Well, here we go with part two. The second, this is all explained in these clips. Oh, good, good. Our North America correspondent Netta Taufik is following this story for us today. Netta, it is good to see you. The press conference that police delivered gave us some more details about the suspect.

1:42:59 about what we know. Yeah, that's right. You know, police say that Jesse Van Root Salar is somebody who was known to them. In fact, that they had visited the family home several times over the last few years for mental health reasons. They say, in fact, that they had actually taken Jesse Van Root Salar in for evaluation and assessment on a number of occasions And that also firearms in that home had been seized under a criminal code, that they were able to do that until the lawful owner of those firearms petitioned the courts to have those returned. Remember, Sumi, the suspect had not only a modified handgun but a long gun in these attacks there in Tumbler Ridge.

1:43:51 And what we also heard from police was that this 18-year-old suspect is someone who dropped out of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School four years ago. And that six years ago, Jessie Van Root-Seller, who was born a biological male, began to transition and identify as a female. quite a lot more detail on the suspect. But as far as motive, uh, they say that they aren't able to piece that together yet less than 24 hours after this attack. Uh, did you do the math on that? Yeah. Hit me again with that six years. He's 18. Six years ago he began to transition. He was 12. Yeah. No, he had a 12 year old prepubescent kid.

1:44:42 12 year old, you know, and this is pretty interesting. So you have and now he's got trouble. He's got problems. And so and he dropped out of school four years earlier at 14. So he'd stopped going to school at the age of 14, which is what, eighth grade? I guess. I don't know. So anyway. Well, all right. Well, I'll have a comment after this third clip. And what have police said about the timeline of the attack? Well, look, they say that Jesse Van Rootseller started at the family home where she allegedly killed her mother and stepbrother.

1:45:24 And then from there, they say that the suspect then targeted the school. Now, we heard authorities saying that they were on the scene within minutes, but they did say that they heard gunfire when they arrived and that the suspect did direct fire at officers on the scene. There, they said that they found six people dead in the school. A female teacher along with five students from the ages of 12 to 13 and all of that in a matter of minutes. Of course we know that there are 25 others who were injured, Sumi. Those two of those people were airlifted to hospital. Others still fighting for their lives in hospital as we speak. So for this small

1:46:11 community it really is one of the worst mass shootings of course in Canada's history but it is a profound loss for this small quiet community itself. I need to get rid of all the guns in Canada. You know the Canadians are freaky about guns anyway but the You think this would be this is lead story I'd think if I was running one of the networks, but that lead story has been the Nancy Guthrie stuff Which is providing no information whatsoever of course They know I mean they bring they put people out there. They just they stand up. They do a segment that last ten minutes They tell us nothing and meanwhile this story is completely dropped and

1:46:51 Well, of course, because everyone is complicit. The media is complicit. The therapists are complicit. The plastic surgeons are complicit. And sadly, sadly, parents have been... We have a friend, a younger couple, which means in their mid-40s. And she was a therapist, she's still a therapist, she doesn't practice anymore. She was a therapist in Louisiana. And she would advertise, Christian therapists, pretty much everything but not saying no LGBTQ. And she said, parents would bring their kids and they would be, I just want my daughter or my son to be happy. They all kept reciting the same thing. I'd rather have a daughter who's happy than a dead son or a son who's happy. The other way around. Well, no, but it was, it goes both ways. It goes both ways. Right.

1:47:47 And that was the psychological operation and these parents, you know, now that we have the first lawsuit, the $2 million lawsuit, I think it was New York, wasn't it? Which by the way, there you go, by the way, 3-0. Oh my God, that's three. Three to nothing. I feel so bad for myself. God, me too. So this $2 million lawsuit, I think is super low. Yes, I agree. Because you have, Sterilization, you can't, most people don't, now it's turning out you can't, you can never in your entire life after you get these treatments when you're like 12, 13, 14, you can never have an orgasm. No, no, all of that's gone. You can't have a natural life, you can't reproduce, there's all these things. And $2 million is nothing when people get a clue and these lawyers finally, you know, the good lawyers, the top guys get a hold of this. You're talking

1:48:46 20, 30, 40, 50 million. And how about the news doctors who are all telling us that, well, you know, you can, these blockers, they're just temporary. When you stop them, then everything goes back to normal. No lie. That's a lie. These people should be held accountable. Lots of people should be held accountable, but I feel the worst for the parents who just wanted their kid to be happy. You do a lot for your kid to be happy. And if you're told over and over, remember I got the books, My Daughter Wants to Be a Boy, What Do I Do? And I bought all those books that were being touted. And the book was very little about the kid, all about how do you deal with the school, how do you deal with other parents, how do you deal with your family. Nothing about the kid. I guess we just jack him up with SSRIs. Ah, it's so, so, so sad. So sad. Here's a, I just got a short

1:49:41 No, it's not even short. A clip from News Nation. Because I went looking on YouTube. Hey, give me some reports about this in America. None, except your typical News Nation report. But there were some valid points in here. There was a Canadian school shooting yesterday. The school shooter killed nine and injured at least 25 before killing themselves. I say themselves because the shooter's gender is the issue here. The shooter is transgender, man to woman. And Canada is so woke. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police at one point referred to him, now her, as the gun person. It's noteworthy that the police seem awfully concerned with respecting the shooter's preferred pronouns.

1:50:30 We identified the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media. I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately, the information that I have, approximately six years ago began to transition to female and identified as female both socially and publicly. In Canada it is illegal to misgender someone. The police should be careful. You know, and thinking about why it doesn't get any play for the same, for the exact same reason that they play up the two seconds erroneous Obama ape video versus the, hey, wait a minute, these voting machines and the vote counting machines seem to be pretty bogus and all things you told us aren't true.

1:51:15 I think the Democrat Party and their, forget that, they're just politicians, but the Schumers of the world and the big donors and the strategists and the think tanks, they are probably on their knees thanking God that this didn't happen in America because that's all they need. If that happened, where President Trump can jump up and say, look at what's happening, look at what the Democrats did to your kids. And I think he should do it. I think he should do it. And that's exactly why this thing is, this story has been suppressed in the US media. Exactly. Don't talk about it. Don't give Trump any ideas. Distract him with more Epstein stuff. Don't give Trump any ideas. We're on a roll. We're doing great so far. Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who put the C in the 17th century, Pirate's Disease. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C. DeMora.

1:52:13 In the morning, it was a Korean warship, sequence of graphing the air subs in the water. Today was nice out there. In the morning, it's the patrols, patrols. Let me count you for a second. There we go. 1,513. Still a couple hundred low, but it's good to have everybody listening live at noagendastream.com. Thank you for tuning in. And of course, if you're listening later because this is a podcast, then you hopefully are listening on a modern podcast app. The reason why is because within 90 seconds of publishing our podcast, You will find out you get a notification because we use the awesome pod ping technology part of the podcasting 2.0 group a group of volunteers who just try to make podcasting better and if you all happen to be around and want to listen live you can even listen to the live stream and we'll get a notification for that in the same app. It's amazing.

1:53:08 Even Apple is taking our stuff now chapters transcripts We just hope that someone will take pod ping because it's so annoying to get those emails you haven't uploaded to Apple yet No, it's not exactly how it works And thank you all for the lovely email messages you sent about John Scott Adams interview which we aired on 1841 And I'd listen to it again And I think it's one of the few really long-form Scott Adams interviews that are around. I don't think there's any, I think that is the definitive interview. Now I look back on it, now I got a lot of compliments too I will say but

1:53:49 This was from, I did this interview eight years ago and nobody paid attention. No, no. Oh, you just listened to that Trump apologist, which you brought up in the interview. Yeah. Scott Adams, Trump apologist. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So now it got a lot of attention, you know, eight years later. But thinking back on it, I don't, you know, he, I didn't realize that I didn't think about it. That Scott, nobody ever interviewed Scott. He brought him on shows. I don't think he wanted to be interviewed. It wasn't his thing. I'm guessing that probably is true. He was reclusive. Yeah. You had a special relationship with him. And of course it was... Yeah, well I've known him forever. It was pre-COVID and that's when he really blew up for all kinds of different reasons. He was already huge, of course. The one thing I'm sad about is I wished

1:54:41 we've been able to find out what actually happened to his restaurants. Because he was like, I can't talk about it because there's all kinds of litigation and we settled and then we agreed not to talk about it. Oh, I know. I know the story. Can you talk about it? Yeah, of course you can. Basically, he had, he was, there was, he was put into a position where, where the restaurant, where the, some of the co-owners, investors, yeah, had cornered him into forcing him to put more money in. It was a situation that he was not amenable to and he said, I'm not gonna do that. And they said, you have to do it or else we'll just, they bluffed him saying we're gonna have to shutter the whole thing if you don't do this because you give us more money. And he said, you know,

1:55:35 No, shudder it. No, I'm not going to do that. Just let it fold. Yeah, good for him. He walked on a deal where he was being pressured. Yeah, good for him. So that was good. And I thought it was good to do that on Super Bowl Sunday. We did talk about our predictions, which I missed, of course, and you won by a long shot. But then again, you are the sports ball guy. Yeah, so thank you all for that. It was just nice. It was nice to see I think also my Twitter timeline, you know, people were thinking of Scott and honoring him and I think it was good, particularly because a lot of people just hadn't heard the interview. So that made it, it was a no agenda bonus special just for you. Yeah, it worked out. Yes. So we

1:56:23 We run this as a value for value podcast, which means we just ask you to give us whatever value you get out of the show. And you can do that with time, talent or treasure. Now the artwork, which is part of our value for value operation here where you people upload art to know agenda art generator calm and Darren had actually came in late. We we produced this well before Sunday and he had he had a different piece of art but this was I believe There's a story behind it, but we, I think we got permission from Scott to use Dilbert. Yes, that art was approved. But wasn't that a Comic Strip Blogger OG piece of art? It was Comic Strip Blogger. It had a different caption. And you used Photoshop, old school. No, I did not. I used my Photoshop on the machine I had. Ah, you used the GIMP.

1:57:26 No, I didn't. I used the recommended product that was in the tip of the day if you look back far enough. Now, what was that? I have to go look it up. But it's an old tip, real early tip of the day. It was a photo editor and it had the tool I was looking for which was to be able to erase a... The problem with erasing some text in the foreground is if the background is is scaled where it's like dark, you know, lighter and there's a word for this. It's light at the top and dark at the bottom. If you just black out the, you know, you can't, you have to find some way of duplicating that and this tool does that. So I could just eliminate the old text and put the new text in. Oh, wow, good. Well, I gave UNCSB credit for the art. Yeah, that sounds right.

1:58:18 I'm surprised you didn't try it with AI. Hey, AI, keep this image exactly the same, just add the words farewell my friend. I bet you AI couldn't do it. Well, I'd change this, I'd change the background and some other stuff. You would have my friend spelled wrong. I mean, there's always something. We always thank everyone who supports the show financially $50 and above and in this segment we think or but we Give out credits for each episode just like Hollywood.

It's forever for the rest of your life and

1:59:05 If anyone ever questions it, we'll be happy to vouch for you. Have we ever had anyone ask for a vouch? Maybe once, I think. People don't take this seriously enough. Well, if they ever do, we will vouch. We'll vouch. So you get that credit and we will read your note. $300 and above, executive producer credit. You can be the envy of your friends. And we will also read your note. However, as I look at our list, and this is, donations, value for value from 1841 and 1842. The first one right off the bat has no note at all! Yeah I know it's the best! It's Eric Olson from Plano, Texas. Yes, $1,000. Unless he's a spook and this is their spook money for the month. Well I don't think Eric Olson has been knighted.

1:59:58 So, do we actually, do we have him on the, is he on the list? Let me check. Let me just see. We do have a knight and a dame today. Let me check. Do we have... Nope. Nope. So, he is, if he...

Thank you so much, Eric. No note. That means you get a double of karma. You've got Karma. There was nothing else to go over.

2:07:53 This donation puts me over the top for knighthood accounting attached. I stopped watching TV news and reading physical newspapers more than 30 years ago. Since 2009, the No Agenda podcast has been my source for news and more importantly media deconstruction. Can I just say something here? More and more people email me and say, you know, I stopped following news. I don't watch, you know, stuff on Instagram or X or I just stopped it. I find that the NOA Agenda Show will give me the stuff that's at the top, the top of, you know, the cream of the crop. And we, you know, we dig down under to bring up the nasty stuff to show you what it's really all about. And they feel informed and happy.

2:08:42 happy with their lives, I tell you. And I think that's a very good way to live. Yeah, they're not distracted by the propagandists. Yes. Which we... We're not working for anybody to do that stuff. And they whistle and laugh a lot because they hear, blah, blah, blah, racist videos, blah, blah, blah. Then they go, okay. I know better than you I know what's really going on. Midterms. He continues, the two of you are national treasures. And I'm honored to be a citizen of Gitmo Nation and producer of the best podcast in the universe. For more years, sincerely, Henry, Harry Klan. He's also Sir Sauerkraut of the North Texas Anita's. What does that mean? Is there something? What's an Anita? What's a Texas Anita? It's probably some snack. I don't know.

Get it, 1911, because Stealth Arms has a new pistol out. Check it out at StealthArms.net. By the way, it has been acclaimed as the best competition pistol under $2,500 and takes Glock mags. The double stacked Glock mags. I actually shot my platypus from Stealth Arms the other day and it jammed. I'd never shot it. Yeah, jammed right out of the gate.

2:10:15 Yeah, it was, uh... Yeah, it shot really well, but it jammed right out of the gate. But that is not to say that I don't love it. So you cleared the jam and it shot fine after that? Of course, of course. It could have been the ammo. But I mean, I presumed it was oiled enough. It was new in the box. I didn't figure I'd have to do anything with it. Maybe that was my mistake. I don't know. What would the bow shield T9 would do? Good question. All right, where are we? We're at Sir Johnny B. in Brockport, New York, 21426. My beautiful wife, Dame Polly of 24 years, 21426.

The cart wall was broke, man, but we fixed it. I fixed it. I figured it out. You know, it was a very simple fix. And then the AI like recreated the whole thing and then it broke a whole bunch of other things. I said, you broke this. OK, fix. You broke that. Fix. OK. And then it made the sliders a whole different color.

2:19:38 For no reason. Out of the blue. And they look cute because it has a little metallic finish to it. Like, oh, that's cool. But I didn't ask for it. These are the things that are annoying. Just a little bit annoying. There you go. Hey, there was rather big news in the climate change arena as President Trump, I think it's happening today, will be revoking the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate carbon emissions by taking it off the list of things that are dangerous to your health. CO2 in particular, they say carbon emissions, but it's CO2, which is a life-giving force. But was that during Obama? When did it? Well, maybe it's in this report. Here's

2:20:24 CBS. The Trump administration is preparing what environmental experts are calling one of the most sweeping regulatory rollbacks in modern history. Rollback! The president plans to revoke the EPA's legal authority to regulate carbon emissions on Thursday. See, that's the tricky bit. They say carbon emissions. No, it's not carbon emissions. It is specifically carbon dioxide. You see what they're doing there? Because when they say- But they've been doing this for the length of the entire era of our show. Correct. EPA's legal authority to regulate carbon emissions on Thursday. If it's withdrawn, it could upend decades of U.S. climate policy. CBS News National Environmental Correspondent David Schuchter joins us now. David, we're talking about something called endangerment finding. Why does that matter? It's a kind of a bulky term, but it actually is incredible significance.

2:21:13 when it comes to environmental regulation. It basically says that, it finds that the emissions from our tailpipes and stuff that create carbon dioxide, that that is a pollutant and that pollutant can be regulated by the United States government. So it is the underpinning of all the federal policy as it relates to trying to get a handle on climate change and by revoking that or essentially not in

2:21:48 the government is very involved in regulating, all of a sudden they wouldn't regulate that anymore. That is up to 20% of our carbon emissions in this country comes from that source which the Trump administration says we're no longer going to regulate. Notice they just take you straight to the dirty, dirty tailpipes not to the cow farts, the cow burps. Well actually the beginning when he said I tried to interrupt it I don't know what he meant. Oh I'm sorry I didn't hear you. He said the tailpipe emissions which form carbon dioxide What he said he said the which form carbon dioxide very early in the clip. I'm sorry I missed that well, that's it's bogus, but that's CBS Barry Weiss everybody Why is he doing this? Why is he doing this? What could it possibly be because it's a hoax Yes

2:22:40 You know, there's been a bunch of, I don't have any of the clips. I suppose I could, I'm going to get some now. I'm going to start collecting them. There's more and more and more clips coming on Twitter and TikTok and elsewhere about CBS's skewed reporting. It's getting worse, not better under Barry Weiss. Yeah. I mean, this doesn't seem like it. This is certainly not pro-Trump. And it's, we were here. When the IPCC first came out, we were here with the whole scandal. Remember the climate change papers? What was that called? Yeah, Climategate. Climategate. We have a jingle. Oh man, we got the Climategate. To the gate, to the gate, to the Climategate. Yeah, hold on a second. Dun, dun, da da da da. For some reason my keyboard is doubling keys, which is not good. Here we go.

2:23:34 To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate. Yeah, we, and was the climate gate, the papers, it was all, they were telling each other, just use this hockey stick, I am paraphrasing. Yeah, yeah, they were faking, phoning up numbers. Well, it doesn't work, so let's use these numbers instead. They were making stuff up as they go along. It was a huge setback for the old, the entire scam and it finally kind of blew over after a decade. Well, because they just kept saying it's not true, you know, talking about Andrew, Andrew, his name was, was the guy, Andrew Klimegate, Andrew. I can't remember his last name. And then it was the consensus model, 97% of scientists

2:24:22 Agree, and it was it was one survey. It was 97% of climate scientists It wasn't all scientists, but it was 90% of climate scientists who believed in climate change Global warming at the time global warming and then we had to switch the climate change because and and in the beginning was a Weather's not climate. Weather's not climate. Because we were like, it's really chilly for this global warming. Weather's not climate. And then we got climate change out. Extreme weather events. In our lifetime, in the lifetime of this show, this hoax. Why is he doing this? I think that you hear in the Trump administration of obviously a very strong need to, a strong desire to deregulate, that regulations are onerous on businesses, cost them a lot of money and therefore cost consumers a lot of money. We did hear today from Carolyn Lovett, his press secretary, that

2:25:18 He's going to announce this on Thursday and it sounds like it's also being framed in the affordability sort of argument that we're hearing from the White House that by doing this they're saying they will save consumers a lot of money on the cost of a new car and other things. That is deeply contested that in fact the more we release carbon dioxide the more costs we incur from fires and... and fires and droughts. The more carbon dioxide we release, the more costs we incur from fires and droughts and floods and things like that. Fires and droughts and floods. Droughts are caused by carbon dioxide. And lions and tigers. And floods and droughts. Floods and droughts.

2:26:03 Oh, but what are the scientists say about this? What are environmental advocates saying about this expected rollback? I heard today from the Union of Concerned Scientists. They said... The Union of Concerned Scientists? Hey, you know what? They're concerned. I want to know how I can join. They said that this is a chainsaw taken to science-based policy saying that it's done at the behest of the polluters, the oil companies. And the advocates, these non-profits that are in the environmental space are just lining up to sue the Trump administration when this announcement is made. So you can expect that that lawsuit could go on for a long time. But the question is, will the administration just start to not enforce these rules right away regardless of what the lawsuits say?

2:26:56 Yes, it's already happening and it will lower energy prices. Of course, it's not going to be for the data centers, but... It won't lower energy prices out here in California. Well, no, it's California. It's all about the coal! This crowd of coal miners made an enthusiastic audience for Donald Trump as he announced his pro-fossil fuel agenda. On Wednesday, the president said that the US Army will, in future, give priority to electricity derived from coal. Clean, beautiful coal. Clean, beautiful coal. We're going to be buying a lot of coal through the military now and it's going to be less expensive and actually much more effective than what we have been using for many, many years.

2:27:40 What what wait Trump has done everything in his power to relaunch the coal industry Providing financial support to plants which may otherwise have closed and in April rolling back some regulations We're going to be crushing Biden era environmental restrictions. These are restrictions that made it impossible, impossible to do anything having to do frankly with energy even beyond coal. Trump says coal should be used to power the energy hungry data centers used by artificial intelligence models. His agenda is a reversal of previous trends in the US.

2:28:18 In 2023, coal made up 16% of total energy production, down from 50% in the year 2000. The polluting fossil fuel has been gradually replaced by renewable energy forms, which according to scientific consensus are better for the environment and can be less expensive to produce. Who is this reporter? Yes, France 24. I'm bored with it. You know how it ends. I just want to play two short clips. because we always like to follow the words like carbon emissions when it's really about carbon dioxide. And this is regarding... Which plants need to survive. It's life force itself. This is a narrative that you will notice changing once you hear it, you can't unhear it. This quick clip, 15 seconds, came from CNN.

2:29:11 I believe this lady was a protester against ICE and she caught herself because she has been given new directive, new words to use which have been adopted by the mainstream media, the M5M. There was probably four people that were at one point in time following. I shouldn't say following, I should say commuting. Sounds much better than following. We were commuting. You guys try to stay away from that language these days? Yes. So you don't want to say you're following ICE, you're just commuting. You see? You're commuting. Here's NPR, I think they had a take on it. It was the one month anniversary of the death of Renee Good, who was shot while slowly driving away from immigration officers. Okay, there you go. There's your mainstream media. There it is! Slowly driving away, commuting. It's all so good. I love these guys. It's all so bad. You may have a clip, there was just one

2:30:09 I'll save it for Sunday. I got a great Gen Zed email, but I'll save it. I'll save it for... Because some Gen Zedders think that when we laugh about Florida ounces and stuff, that we think they're morons. No, some are, like all categories of people. There's some very specific ones. But when I hear about Gen Zeds who are, first of all, listening to the show since 2019, love the concept of a sock hop and have a vocation. You know, we have a lot of hope in Gen Z. We are here to, in fact, help educate you on the things you don't know about and to set you up for success. To help educate them on the things that they are kept away from. Yes, yes, yes. Obfuscated from them. Exactly.

2:31:01 Exactly. Yeah. All right. They've got to come to the right place and we're not mocking that we are mocking the ones that don't that are you know, there are they know who they're included and they know the dummies out there. You know who your friends you know who you are a couple of random clips. I thought this is the jet fuel Cuba think should be mentioned. I think this is kind of interesting. Okay, because I have a question about it. All right, here we go. Cuba is warning international airlines that jet fuel will no longer be available on the island starting today. It's the latest sign of worsening conditions as the US is cutting off the Communist-run nation's oil supply. NTD's international correspondent, Arian Pazdar. Cuba is issuing a notice to airlines saying jet fuel is no longer available on the island.

2:31:51 The nation is implementing a fuel rationing plan as the US is cutting off the communist-run nation's oil supply. Urgent measures must be taken because people who are going to travel far away if there is no fuel, I don't know if their flights will be cancelled. Cuba has historically relied on Venezuela to provide most of its jet fuel, but the nation has not received any oil from its top ally since mid-December, when the U.S. moved to block the South American nation's exports. In late January, President Trump signed an executive order to impose a tariff on countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba.

2:32:28 On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that oil shipments from Mexico to Cuba have been halted. But she says Mexico still seeks to support the people of Cuba. Two vessels carrying around 800 tons of humanitarian aid deported Mexico on Sunday to support the island. We're going to help the people of Cuba, as we've always helped at any time peoples who need it. And now food was sent mainly, and more is going to be sent. The fuel shortage is strongly affecting everyday life in Cuba. Congresswoman Maria Salazar warns do not travel to Cuba. Oops, sorry. Medicine only blackouts hunger and repression. Don't risk your safety. A regime in its final hours is unpredictable and dangerous. All right, what's your question? Well, the regime in this fight, what do we got against Cuba that we're taking such extreme steps here?

2:33:23 Because it's never explained. Somebody brought it up on one of these talk shows. They said, what's this thing with Cuba? They haven't attacked us. They haven't done anything. They're just sitting there, you know, languishing basically. So what's the big deal? I have to say there's something we're not being told about. It's got to be. And I think it's China. I think China's, we've talked about it before. Some years ago they're going to try to put up bases, monitoring bases. China's been trying to establish those in Cuba and for some reason this information is being now not discussed at all. There's something up. Well, since you're on oil and other

2:34:03 Countries, I have a question for you regarding this. Bloomberg reports that for the first time in years, Venezuela is sending its first crude oil shipment to Israel. That shipment comes just under a month after the US captured the country's former leader, Nicolas Maduro. Since Maduro's takedown and the subsequent US takeover of Venezuela's oil sales, Brent and crude have been on a tear. Brent crude up 10.25%, while West Texas Intermediate up 9%. The oil shipment to Israel comes just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flies to Washington for a meeting with President Trump tomorrow in a bid to influence US nuclear talks with Iran. This meeting comes also amid heightening Iranian threats about the Strait of Hormuz. It's that important choke point for the world's crucial oil transfer. Now here's my question.

2:34:58 Does Israel have refining capability for... Not that I know of. Iranian oil? I mean, Venezuelan oil? This makes no sense to me. It makes no sense to me either because Venezuelan oil is a very specific heavy crude. Yeah. That has a lot of, you know, it has a lot of things you can do with it. Mainly asphalt that you can get out of there. And it has other properties that are unusual. And you'd take special specialized refiners, which we have a China has there's other they're around here. I mean, I suppose I think this is bull crap. It sounds like bull crap to me. What did, what are they going to do with the crew? Are they going to use it for, I don't know. I mean, what would they use it for? I mean, they don't have refineries in Israel that I know of. They maybe there is one, but this is because we ask you, we ask the robot, if there's a refinery in Israel, I don't have the robot queued up.

2:35:51 Oh, because the robot doesn't speak in Linux. No, the robot speaks Linux just fine. I forgot to set her up. But the point, because people were posting this on X like, ehhh! I bet they won't talk about this. I'm like, yeah, we will because I don't get it. It makes no sense. I mean, we, America, America, we are the, we are the, uh, we are the ones who know this stuff. We understand. We understand crude oil from Venezuela. And let me ask the robot. Let me see. Well, this, oh, the robot all of a sudden is talking to me in Dutch. This is interesting. Hoe kan ik u vandaag helpen? Okay.

2:36:32 Wow. Why does this look like this? You can talk to it in Dutch. You can speak Dutch. Ask it in Dutch. I just want to get an answer. Hold on a second. This will be the, uh, this is the Grok bot. I don't have a... The Grok bot. Well, Grok is... I like Grok. Yeah. But what is... this thing is... chat. Here we go. Chat. Okay. Does Israel... Oh, yes. Allow. Does Israel have refineries that can handle Venezuelan oil? Israel does have refineries, like the one in Haifa run by Bazan Energy. It can process heavy crude oil, which Venezuelan oil tends to be— stuff like mary that's high in sulfur and needs specific handling. But they've been picky lately due to quality issues and geopolitics.

2:37:21 From what I know up to my cutoff, Israel hasn't imported Venezuelan oil since sanctions kicked in around 2018. And even before that, it wasn't a big deal. They'd need upgrades or blending to make it work smoothly now. There you go. That's interesting. Okay, so Haifa, which is up, I think, north. Yes. Yeah, that'd be a place for it on the water there. They got a coastal You need access to the water so you can bring the tankers in obviously so that they upgrade have they upgraded To do this I guess I think you can blend back this stuff. They do people have talked about that With something else look it's obvious Mossad is controlling Trump. That's why Israel just so you know that is what's going on here

2:38:13 You know, some of these refiners are designed around the crude oil generally. There's general purpose refiners that can handle everything and they're built there when they're huge. And then some refineries are specific to, you know, they just specialize in certain kinds of oil because they're good at it. And if you got a thing that can take sulfur out and handle all the heavy stuff and has the catalytic cracking and all the rest of it, you need that oil to keep these things going properly. Hold on, let's ask another question. How much did Israel pay the United States for this crude oil?

2:38:51 In a perfect world, trades about fair deals. No one's getting handouts. But geopolitics? That's messier. If Israel's buying Venezuelan crude rerouted through the U.S. You don't have an answer. Shut up. Yeah. Doesn't have an answer. I want a price. I want a... She's freewheeling. She's going on and on. All right. You got a final clip you want to play or what do you want? Well, let's see. I can come up with a shorty here, I think. Well, the Canadian bridge story should be at least we can catch up on this. Yes, it's kind of interesting. You've been listening. If you're down and letting the bridge, you got a bridge then they're, ah, we're, and Trump doesn't want the bridge to work.

2:39:31 Canada reels from one of the worst mass shootings in its history. Police named the suspect as 18-year-old Jesse van Vritselaar. Eight people were killed. You're playing... I'm playing trans, I'm sorry. No, Canada Bridge. I saw it, yes. I thought it was all BBC, but it's NTD. It's my mistake. The trans bridge is the problem. President threatening to block the opening of a bridge connecting the US and Canada as he warns Ottawa of cozying up to the Chinese regime. We now go live to NDD's Washington correspondent Mario Tsu at the White House. Mari, good evening. President Trump threatens to block the opening of a bridge between the US and Canada unless Ottawa negotiates with Washington on tariffs and the exclusion of American products.

President threatening to block the opening of a bridge connecting the US and Canada as he warns Ottawa of cozying up to the Chinese regime. We now go live to NDD's Washington correspondent Mario Tsu at the White House. Mari, good evening. President Trump threatens to block the opening of a bridge between the US and Canada unless Ottawa negotiates with Washington on tariffs and the exclusion of American products.

2:40:16 He accuses Canada of taking advantage of the US with unfair trade practices and cozying up to the Chinese regime. The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howe Bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president. It's also unacceptable that more of this bridge isn't being built with more American-made materials, even more so than what President Barack Obama committed to with the Canadians at the time, at the start of the project. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they're not. Canada lives because of the United States. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's spoken with President Trump after the president issued that threat and that the situation will be resolved, although he didn't give further details. And this is coming just a couple weeks after President Trump threatened 100% tariffs on Canada if they made a deal with the Chinese regime. Tiff, back to you. Is that true? Does Canada own the land?

2:41:11 on both sides of the bridge? I don't know, it doesn't make any sense. I thought Michigan owned the land on one side. This is just another Greenland thing. There's something screwy about this story. Well, I agree. Canada needs to pay us no matter what. Just pay us. Just because Trump says so, pay us. It's our country. Obviously they're not going to build a bridge that crosses the border there and just let it sit empty. You can't do that, so... because there's always already a jam up on that bridge in Windsor. There's gotta be something else behind this. There's something else going on. We don't get told enough stuff. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda.

I have to order that I haven't even put that in yet. Do you guys still take care of that? Public sub and diet Coke?

2:46:32 Wow, I am... Do you think that is Linux? That Linux is doubling up on this stuff? Yeah, it's the sense of humor that the AI has. Hey, watch this. Jingles please. Kamala, don't come. Trump, I'm gonna come. Thanks, Dame Brittany, Trinidad, Colorado. Do not come. I'm gonna come. There you go. Bradley Bowman in Duluth, Minnesota, 52, 18. Sir GK in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

We have a missed note from Mr. Sir, Mr. Bob Dabalina that was $350 donated in episode 1838. He wrote his note of the 200 characters allowed on PayPal. I think we did this didn't we talk about this?

2:52:22 He said you didn't see it? I don't remember. Yes, I remember this because he said the state of Florida tested 46 candies and found unacceptable amount of arsenic in 28 of them. Yes, I remember this. I don't remember us reading it. I remember reading the note. No, I'm pretty sure we read it on the show. Okay. I could be wrong. Does he have anything else in here? No, I think we got all of that. But then we had a Dame request from Dame Catherine. On January 4th, my husband's friend, Stefan, sent in a note to share that my husband, Bill Walsh, aka Sir Saturday Night, died suddenly just before Christmas. While his death was unexpected, so was our friend's tribute. I jolted from my seat when I heard Bill's name and was so touched, despite Adam calling him a douche in the next breath. Oh, come on.

2:53:18 I think I was very nice about it. And in fact, I said that it's always interesting how the people who yell at us the most actually love us the most. And she says, yes, Bill indeed loved the show, contributing his time, talent and treasure as often as possible. financially was a baronet working on his way to baron status. Our knight-in-dame rings were proudly used in our 1010 2020 wedding. Otherwise his efforts... Yes, otherwise his efforts included informative emails to the hosts and developing the bones of a personal website for John about which Bill didn't hear back despite follow-up attempts. I hope you feel bad, John. He regularly completed competed in the weekly art contest and recently developed a website in the AI slop songs promoted na and Ashland speed Yes, he made the Ashland speed as a pop artist.

2:58:03 Yeah Just like a party party party party We have John's tip of the day coming up and extended end of show mixes including the I got ants by Sir Bill But before we do that, we always like to do a little bit of a man versus the machine See what I so's we can come up with for the end of the show. I see you have Three three. Yes. Do you want me to start as usual? Yes, please those two together is awesome and Okay, I thought that was pretty good. Those guys really brought the value today. Yes, you're right. That was where'd you get that was a that was a high someone gave it to me. Yeah, well now you're saying it's not a because someone gave it to you so it doesn't count as a I said it was a is a after I asked okay, this is not a I know it's an og file and I can't play the og file.

2:59:01 Ogvorbis will not play. Well instead let me play... Let me see, do I have this? Maybe this one. New agenda is my guilty pleasure. Donate. Another. Yeah, I knew you'd like it but it's AI. I'm kind of low on the fact that it was AI. I like that one. I know you like the donate part. I know exactly what you like. Well, I'm not an idiot. No, you're not. Far from it. So here we go. This is a real one. We're switching roles because I have a real clip here. Here's the ISO nothing. We learned nothing.

2:59:41 Okay. True, also true. Yes, true, true. Okay. So here's where we go to the good stuff. Here's a hoi polloi. Wow. How can the hoi polloi ignore this podcast? It needs to be quicker. Okay, then we'll go to this one, which is the last one I have, which is drinks. Excellent podcast as usual. Drinks for everyone. Yeah, see, I know you like mine better. I know it because it says donate. Here we go. Let's listen to it again. No agenda is my guilty pleasure. Donate. I mean, I know you like it. I know that's what you want. You want that to be the one at the end of the show. True or not? What are you trying to hypnotize me? Yeah. And while we have decided that, let's do the tip of the day.

3:00:28 CreativeVice for you and me Just a tip with JCD And sometimes Adam Look, I have these things at the dinner table and I'm thinking, yeah, I should make a tip of the day. And these are the Home Memory LED taper candles. These are the flameless candles that have a remote and a timer. And I've been looking at these, I've had them for a year, got them as a gift and I said, I don't want flameless, these stupid candles that are, they flicker, they look like candles and they seem like candles and they're candle looking things. And I've actually gotten so used to them.

3:01:10 I don't see why anyone would buy candles. These things cost about the same amount per candle, about three bucks a piece. Candles can be very expensive, I find. And candles can be, well, these are the tapers. The ones I'm recommending are the stick candles that go into a candle holder. But you can also get the big round giant candles that have a, which actually look even more realistic. that are available also. You can look at flameless candles on Amazon or anywhere you want to go. And I just recommend them. I think they're fabulous. And a little remote control, you need the remote control.

3:01:48 They have these at restaurants, except not with the remote control. They have them at restaurants. No, but you can bring, you know, the remote control is universal. Oh, you bring it to the restaurant and turn everyone's candle off? Yeah, you could. There's another tip of the day. It's a sub-tip of the day. Bring the remote control to the restaurant and just casually walk by and turn off the candles. Yeah. Do you remember we used to do that with remote controls and be turning off TVs? Yeah, at the bar. Yeah, at the bar, turning off the TVs. Oh, the good times. Remember when we were happy just messing with the TV at the bar? Remember, we didn't need phones. We didn't need TikTok. We didn't need social media. We just need a remote control for the candles and that'll be fine. So get these things and then turn off some lights in the can.

3:02:31 You know, the funny thing about having them at the table is occasionally one of them will just turn on out of the blue. Yes. Like what turned this, you know, what kind of rays are coming through the window? Sounds like quality stuff from China is what it sounds like. Well, it's definitely quality stuff from China, but if you don't have these candles, I would recommend them as a cool thing to own. All right, there it is, another fabulous tip of the day. Find them all at noagendafund.com or tipoftheday.net. Created by, it's for you and me, just a tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam, created by Dana Brunetti. All right, that concludes our show for today.

3:09:11 I don't know if we had ants. We had ant invasion. I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine, fine grind of black pepper, we were having dinner and yeah, I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it. These things are peppery. I got ants. I got ants. These ants, they don't need a lot. And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you. I'm going to back them off by doing the burning trick. Just torch them. And you leave them there. The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back. I got ants. I got ants.
