Anglo

00:00 I'll tell you, fascinating. And from Refinery Row in the north of the Bay, where gas is free. I'm John C. Dvorak. to that same old place that you grouse about and 5M hasn't changed since ya hung around and the trolls have remained, yeah they're still around who'da thought they need ya? who'da thought back here where they need ya? now your enemy carries them a lot cuz we got em on the spot welcome back

01:22 And welcome back John C. Dvorak! Thank you very much I will mention that these clips if they're a little bit over modulated for some reason, we've gone over this a million times here They break up What breaks up? That song you just played? Oh, for you. You mean yeah on your end. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You were also a little slow on the coming in there is it are you sensing a delay or No I was not...I thought it was on time no you were pretty late let me see for a second Pretty late! Unfortunately we're pretty late

02:18 No, we got the minimal delay. You sound good and maybe it was just the opening. Hey John! Welcome back who cares? We can hear you we have missed you Well thank you I appreciate that and glad to be back to be honest about it Do you want to talk about your experience Yeah I had a heart attack I guess while in hospital being checked out curiously Yes And they said hey you know what We think it's time for you to sign these forms. That's never good when someone says, hey could you sign these forms for a second? And then we'll be back...we'll hear from me in another day so uh it was quite the experience I wouldn't recommend it but The worst part is this is like a double-blind pass is what it was yeah So the worst part

03:14 is now. It's that you're just miserable, I mean there's no pain it's just that you can't rest right? You're limited in your motions because if you like threw a baseball it would rip ya apart so you can't do this, you can't do that, you can't get up that way, you can't move left, you can't move right Because up, nope don't do that and so it did and so you're stuck kind of in this like a limited range Of abilities I can talk. Yeah, but do you get winded after a while from talking? Yeah No Long show again people Today I would recommend the following here we go jumble the donation segments

04:06 Go right to the tip of the day and wrap. So you mean do all the donation segment, everything in one huge segment and then to tip of the day? Yeah. Okay, so what about the ISO selection? We do the ISOs? Oh we can do that only have one yeah So again Do you mind me just asking a few things about your experience because... I would expect you to ask me a few things About my experience First of all, I want you to know your wife was flipping out She may have seemed very calm but she was freaking out It was very difficult for her

04:43 And so I just want you to know. Yeah, that was largely because of the doctors Oh really? Because they... oh yeah and I think that after the surgery they had Jay and Brennan in like a special room which was very freaky it's like always a special room is this where they tell you like well the operation was success But he has no head but his head is gone And well the thing I was curious about because you had all kinds of other complications that were going on and they had to intubate you. How much did that... Were you awake when they intubated you? Supposedly no, but yes! What was that like is that crazy it's really nuts

05:36 It's not a good experience. I mean, you're so drugged up it doesn't really... You don't care as much as you would normally but you are paralyzed and the real problem is that you get to... Covered with a like a parachute. I mean that's what you can see if you could see anything But the real problem with it, and I don't think anyone's ever discussed this is that the yakety-yak that goes on in the operating room Their talk... You can hear it all! Oh so your sedated? Your asleep but your not It's like you died and your not dead yet Exactly

06:19 Do you feel pain at that point? You feel nothing. No, no you don't feel anything But are they making jokes like this old geezer should we know they're not making jokes about me but they're talking about their plans for the night What is it did you watch that movie the other day to see the Oscars? It's just it goes and it says in its relentless Did you pick up any good tips? No I did not Wow. But was that the whole time? The whole, because you were out for like a couple of days I think. Well, I mean you're not under the whole time in an intubated but during the operation which I don't know how long that took to find out You don't remember that though do you No, you don't remember anything like that All you remember is listening to these voices During the surgery or during the intubation Yeah no during the surgery Oh ho oh no!

07:15 That's kind of crazy. Yeah, I know no one has ever mentioned this. I'm going to talk to some other people about it. Were there any hot nurses? There was a lot of nurses and by the way now have great insight into why Medicaid is going to go broke do expand well for one thing with some of these big companies like this is Sutter Health Medicine has changed from being actually, you know where you have doctors to protocols. And suppliers people who do stuff

07:56 And you have protocols, protocols and more protocols. And everything is done by protocol it's done by a checklist. It's all the same old expert system that we remember from the 1980s when AI first or net that first but second or third time it showed up and then these expert systems showed up and this has moved over in this took over medicine. So there's no so everything's plug-and-play. You don't need Jewish doctors are done. I think they ran into one the whole time I was here for more reasons than one, I'm told well one reason is that they'll ask questions

08:31 Oh, no. We can't have that! No, no, you know there's a protocol after A B you check A, you check B, you check C, you check D, you check E and then you do this... So no one is looking at the whole-at the patient as a whole? The entire life of the patient? Exactly You find some old timers but that's the end of it. That's too bad. That kind of feels wrong Yeah this is why I think they, there was a...I think we had another show a few months ago where the whiteys are not supposed to even get into medicine anymore. Whiteys? Were there whiteys in your procedures? Did you have whitey's operating on you?

09:18 I'd say 10% maybe. Wow! Now did anyone know who you were? Did anyone say like... Eventually, yeah. Did they would say oh that's that dude from No Agenda Oh man! Somebody looked me up and googled me One of them are curious nurses And said what She said I googled you Are you famous? And i said no Is this you in there in the Google? I said yes it is In the Google Yeah, I'm these are the people taking care of you. Is that you in the Google? Yeah Okay That's that's real. It's it's calming and then another doctor some casual duct some I think it was a nephrologist came by under some circumstance and he just

10:03 He just left. All these doctors come and they go, they don't do anything. Did anyone give an in the morning? Like a hey in the morning? No but this one guy did say I'll be listening to the podcast but he did not get it in the morning Do you want to thank any of your doctors or nurses? Anyone? I don't even know who half of them are Oh wow It's a system Were they all named Sanjit? There is a lot...no Actually most of them were Filipino Oh interesting And I could think Anna Banana is the only one that can remember. It's a joke name, but I would say there went through let's see four or twelve probably about 200 people really now

10:56 200 people came by. Everybody collecting 150 bucks for each visit? No, they all come by to get your vitals. Stick a thermometer in your mouth and pump up pumps and pumps. Did they have any... Is this a medical hospital that had students come by like oh yeah no it's not okay And then finally what everyone really wants to know is how was the food It was terrible. I couldn't eat anything. Oh, well what did you wind up eating? You got to eat something! Oh my...you know, you find some grapes. So you end up starving to death in there and it's just...I have stories about the food which i'll elaborate on at some later date And then sponge baths were those embarrassing? At some point the embarrassment is long gone

11:50 Dude, I cannot tell you how happy I am to have you back. Well, I'm happy about it! Yes, I'm sure you are. It was one of those things where we're always joking about exit strategy and then... Did you hear by the way how that went? Like I heard from Horowitz which was kind of disturbing. Because Horowitz's show is coming up so I sent him a tech or no actually I left a message somewhere. He never got it No one knows where this message is so he was like, uh You know, why are you you know? He called me at 8 10 after eight on Tuesday I'm like and I was I don't know I was doing something like oh that's horror which is the stream is not working I'll call him back in five minutes What's up with John what do you mean what's happening we're in being the hospital say what

12:52 And although, and I first of all got to tell you your family is phenomenal. Really are. I mean they immediately they're jumping in there OK we gotta John as priority one although I had to remind them of that from time to time It's like, John is priority one. Don't worry about anything we'll take care of anything and we'll figure it out." And Mimi right away was like okay We're very creative people we can come up with solutions. We can't just have best-of shows I'm like does she have a executive producer credit somewhere? Okay and then she says well iIm just gonna do the show

13:35 And I said, OK. I talked to Tina about it. Tina right? I was like that's a great idea because she's heard Mimi and me talk on the phone for hours about nonsense says that's a great idea but the funniest was Jay who first of all is trying to break into all your computers because you're not so good at the password book, apparently. And then all systems even if you have the password these days... Oh that's fine! You have the password but I don't recognize this computer So you have to do two-factor authentication But no one had the password to your actual computer

14:20 Yeah. And so they're like, do you know the password? Like do I know the password? Huh? Why would you know that? That's how desperate they were. I said try his pin pass. It says pin code. Try is birth date. I don't know. I have no idea. And then so Jay finally gets ahold of MailChimp she's like okay i've got this i'm gonna do the newsletter and says what do you think of this And now mind you, I don't... You hadn't even had your procedure yet. But you're under and hearing everything but you're under, you're sedated, you got a tube down your neck and in your daughter's like how about this? Give John a reason to live donation! I'm like wow! Wow! Yeah Fantastic! And JC jumped in with Horowitz which should probably be a little worried about

15:13 People thought he was really good. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. I was actually surprised I wasn't I was yes well the reason I was surprised because see he has his buddy that Years ago these two guys have been trying they're like pals that do Trying to do a podcast and then when they try to do a podcast is like oh they can't say a word. And so, you know I'm sure there's plenty of people out there like that with that experience and so I said let's see how that goes he took it home at a great job He had good one-liners Yeah Good comebacks

15:54 Definitely. Yeah, did you? Did you follow any news anything going on while during your stay which will be three weeks this Tuesday what else do I have to do yeah no well this was the funniest after your it you were sent pretty quickly to the rehab center And Mimi said, I think it was Jay or I can't remember who told me. It's like yeah John is back he's making little jokes he's very annoyed and he's watching Chinese television because he wants to learn the language. That was a good one! Did you come up with that? Not yet

16:33 Well, while you were away you missed the biggest news. The biggest news in America. Stop! Quote, In light of the newly released video we have made a decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette That's what Disney Entertainment spokesperson told ET today less than three hours after TMZ posted footage from Taylor's 2023 domestic violence incident three days before the show was set to premiere. A rep for Taylor tells ET she's grateful for ABC support as she prioritizes her family safety and security She is currently preparing to own and share her story There it is! That's what everyone's talking about The Bachelorette Well I just, yeah when it came out

17:27 Borderline personality disorder looks like to me bad case of it a bad case. I would maybe mix with some other issues Yeah, and that was that was horrible but what but what I thought immediately was this is great because now because she I guess she was on the Secret lives or Mormon wives so right they probably the series is probably a dog It's probably no good I'm like, because this all of a sudden... But it was in the can. That's the problem. Well exactly! It was in the can precisely and like wow this is not great as the 22nd or 23rd season we got this stupid war taking away ratings maybe we can create some hey dude you've got that videotape he talked about can you give me that recording of her trying to hit you with a chair and she's gonna tell our own story? I smell a new show coming

18:22 Yeah, you're probably right. That's how I would roll with it. So... They dumped it faster than you can imagine. Well let's talk about the war! Oh yes there is a war going on Here's what gets me. I got two clips from Trump on progress of the BBC. Okay, here we go. Well Donald Trump has also been speaking today he insisted that the US is doing extremely well that's how we described it in this war with Iran The Navy is gone there Air Force is gone their anti-aircraft Is all gone so all gone Their radars are all gone Their leaders are all gone The next set of leaders are all gone And then X set of leaders are mostly gone

19:04 And now nobody wants to be a leader over there anymore. We're having a hard time, we want to... Talk to them and there's nobody to talk to. We have nobody to talk to, and you know what? we like it that way And we have many other distinguished members of the United States military but I want to tell ya Hexeth is doing a great job and Raisin Cain is doing a great job as good as anybody has ever seen Don't forget we had Venezuela That was the beginning where people started to see the talent I rebuilt the military and built it frankly including Space Force, but I rebuilt the military in my first term. I didn't think i'd be using it this much but...I'm glad I rebuilt it because we can't let these lunatics have nuclear weapons cause they were gonna use them, they used them fast." Yeah that was kind of a classic what he was saying there's nobody left to talk to. There is nobody there! We blew up everything, we're good to go but then why is this going on? So how did they manage to slam shut the straight you know

20:05 Answer me that. Well... Let's play the second part of this and we'll talk about it. That was Donald Trump, let's go back to the White House into our correspondent Tom Bateman. Tom, we are three weeks in give me your assessment where you think we are? Well I mean you heard from Donald Trump there repeating some of the messages that we've heard over the last few days frankly but i think what he didn't say there is again about the Strait of Hormuz that was left to this social media post that he put out in the minutes before that calling America's NATO allies cowards because he says they won't take part in any US operation to try and reopen the strait. Now that is going to send a shockwave through the leaders of NATO, they are used to some of the kinds of equivocation, questioning of the value of the NATO alliance to the United States Mr Trump has done in the past but we're now in a territory where

20:59 where he is continuing to use this kind of language now, really questioning their value. Calling them a paper tiger for example which as far as NATO allies are concerned sends a signal to their adversaries mostly too of course to Russia that might suggest the US wouldn't defend NATO countries in the event invasion in Eastern Europe. They've always been really worried about this and that kind of language I think is gonna really concern them it is a signal of the frustration, the anger that Mr Trump's clearly feeling about the part of this war there is going wrong for him they don't have a solution yet to deal with the way the Iranians have managed control the Strait of Hormuz and this kind of lashing out at his NATO allies I think is symptomatic of that

21:52 Yeah, I have thoughts on this but because NATO was brought up there's it's no coincidence this morning thanks to clip collector Steve my boy was on CBS with Face the Nation. to, I guess to kind of make everybody in NATO feel good and Mark Rutte was in rare form. We turn now to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte who joins us this morning from The Hague in the Netherlands welcome back to Face the Nation Good to be back on the program. Good morning. Hey, good morning. Hey Margaret! It's good to be here every time yes fantastic. We did see that Iran fired two missiles at Diego Garcia That's that island in the Indian Ocean which houses a US-UK joint base

22:40 That was 4,000 kilometers from Iranian territory. Furthest Iran has ever gone. You just heard Ambassador Waltz say there might be a difference there and how Israel in the US assess that capability Iran has in terms of what they fired but Israel says these were intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit Berlin Paris and Rome Does NATO share that Israeli assessment? Well, Margaret. We cannot confirm that at the moment so we're looking into that but if this would be true it is more evidence that what's a president is doing here taking out the ballistic missile capability taking out the nuclear capability from Iran is crucial and exactly as the ambassadors just said Ambassador Waltz

23:23 We have seen with North Korea, if we negotiate for too long you might pass the moment where you can still get this thing done. And North Korea now has the nuclear capability. If Iran would have the nuclear capability including together with... Was that confirmed? That North Korea has nuclear... He said North Korea now has nuclear capabilities. Is that being confirmed? Do we really know that? What are you talking about? Of course they do. Well, we don't actually know have they ever... Yeah! They blowed up a whole crap load of little bombs and not monsters. Oh little bombs okay they blowed up some little ones. But the Hiroshima's their nukes. Okay North Korea now has to nuclear capability if Iran would have some nuclear capability including together with the missile capability

24:05 It will be a direct threat, an existential threat to Israel, to the region... The region! ...to Europe and to the civilians in the world. So the president doing this is crucial I've seen the polling but I really hope that the American people will be with him because he's doing this to make the whole world safer Okay, so thank you. We got more we got more well I'm sure the president appreciates your praise but he has been very frustrated and made that clear this week With NATO and the European allies He called NATO quote a paper tiger without the US He said they complain about high oil prices when they're forced to pay But they don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz easy for them cowards We will remember

24:49 I've been in several conversations this week with the president and the good news is that, look we had the US for weeks planning for epic fury. And for reasons of security and safety they could not share with European allies and allies around the world and partner countries what they were doing because that would have jeopardized the effect of the first attack. So it is only logical that European countries needed a couple of weeks to come together but at this moment, the good news is this... That since Thursday 22 countries most of them NATO but also Japan Korea Australia New Zealand Bahrain The UAE have come together To basically answer three questions What do we need?

25:34 When do we need it and where do we need it? These three questions are now worked through to answer the president's call, to make sure that we secure the free sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. You know I have this thought that the president isn't really in any rush to open the Strait of Hormuz And it's, I mean what is it? There are actually some papers out there that would back you up. You know, it's like well because it's not yes it affects oil prices but oil prices are market prices. You know that there isn't enough oil to go around for the time being yeah, but this is helping No it doesn't help them But I'm just I can't help but think like you know maybe he's not in such a hurry and then this happens Well actually yeah, this happens. This morning. I think oh

26:30 We're going beyond the strait now, we're going to where all the fish are in the portal. A new looming threat to international shipping and the global economy With the vital Strait of Hormuz effectively closed since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, Tehran's Houthi allies in Yemen are now threatening to block the strategic Bab el-Mandeb strait. On Friday said the Houthis who control Yemen's capital and northwestern Red Sea coast may close the maritime corridor that connects Europe, Asia and Africa. A representative for the group said if it does close the waterway it could only attack vessels belonging to states carrying out strikes on Iran, Lebanon Palestine and Iraq The Bab el-Mendeb Strait connects the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden

27:23 It's known as a strategic chokepoint linking the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. It is a vital route for global trade particularly for oil and gas shipments between Europe and Asia So when the Houthis come out how much of threat are those guys? I mean, don't they have little ships? Well there is threat to if you've got a $16 million tanker full of oil. Right but if you've got U.S forces in the region seems like that wouldn't be too much of a problem to blow them out of the water Not necessarily yeah You know it's like... But And then here's Trump getting onto the helicopter talking about when this strait will open up

28:15 It's a simple military maneuver. It's relatively safe, but you need help in the sense of you need ships, you need volume to help us. But they so far haven't had the courage to do so and others could help us. We don't use it at a certain point. It'll open itself at a certain point. But we've defeated enemy and they are an enemy. There is group of people that leadership has gone. The Navy is gone. The Air Force has gone. It's all gone. Everything is gone. The straight itself, the actual straight, how he is... The straight itself is doing a good job

29:01 But it would be nice if the countries, including China, if the countries that use it...China uses 90% of their energy. Japan is 95% of their energy It wouldn't be nice if those countries wouldn't get involved Alright so now he's saying okay NATO doesn't want to help The Strait can open itself up Is what I heard him say there but it would be nice If China and Japan helped out you know So he's making a clear call He has delayed his meeting with Xi another four, five six weeks. I think we may be in total control there's a game here that is going on. I think anything but that okay Here is my thinking he can't win this thing continuing what he's trying to do because it keeps hinting that oh we've taken everything out Oh and no one is helping us

29:57 His exit strategy, I think and i think it would be a good one and I think would work is to just pull out. just pull out, hey we got... there's nothing else we can blow up. We blew up all that they don't have an Air Force or Navy or they've got no radar and nobody to talk too. We didn't even know who the leaders are that one guy is gay apparently. That was the best! He's actually now in entry in the Eurovision Song Contest this year I hear. Oh? That makes sense So you get out and do the following

30:35 and say, well if they said they're going to reopen the Hormuz we'll just get out let them reopen it and let things stabilize a little bit maybe come back again. And at the same time say we would have stayed and done more damage but we weren't getting any help. NATO's not helping us Europe is not helping us nobody's helping us China is not helping us nobody nobody nobody! So what are we supposed to do? We can't do the whole thing and get the hell out of there. That would be reasonable to think as fast as possible that's if he has the nerve to do that, it takes a lot of guts well there is one thing that to me looks like beneficial at minimum so the president got really mad on truth social I'm mad at Israel for taking out the gas the LNG

31:28 field in Qatar. He's also irked about the fact that one of their guys contradicted him at a press conference, who? The defense minister of Israel! Oh yeah no he's gonna cut Israel loose if they keep this up Yes he will and in fact I'm thinking the more he is pushing back on them At a certain point, he may be like you know I'm waiting for the opportunity to not only show that what i was doing was in America's interest but that Israel doesn't control me and I'm going to show it like this. And it'll be something... It'll be a move that is obvious

32:13 And the only thing he can do is cut off like, no more Patriot missiles or something like that. And I kind of feel him ramping up for that. It would be good for him to do it because you know the whole idea that Bibi Netanyahu held a gun to his head and he did this is pretty rampant as expected but the oil field, the Qatar oil field turns out is kind of beneficial to us. A developing story where we are learning more today about how the conflict in the Middle East could impact Alaska's energy market, Augusta McDonald has been following this story all week and Augusta what changes are you monitoring right now? Yes Arianna I've been looking at how the destruction of a liquefied natural gas plant in Qatar could influence efforts to build an LNG pipeline across Alaska

33:00 The Alaska LNG project is a major energy infrastructure initiative. You're probably familiar with it, they want to build a pipeline that would transport natural gas from the North Slope to South Central Alaska. Now this project is led by Glen Farn Group which has a 75% stake and project leaders say they wanted delivered 20 million metric tons annually to primarily Asian market buyers. And that's a key detail because the LNG facility that was hit by an Iranian counter strike in Qatar just days ago supplied 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas and 80% of that product went to Asian markets

33:36 Cutter Energy's Rosloffin complex was taken offline on Monday with Reuters now reporting it is not expected to be operating again for weeks. In a statement from Glenfarr in Alaska, LNG spokesperson Tim Fitzpatrick had this to say quote global events repeatedly show the strategic advantage of Alaska LNG location as the only US source of LNG with direct Pacific access avoiding contested waters And choke points. And to that point, he's referring here to shipping delays through the critical Strait of Hormuz due to conflict and saying further Glenn Farn is working closely with Asian LNG buyers to accelerate commercial agreements and complete Alaska LNG. So this kind of complicates the theory that he's going to cut Israel loose because maybe it was a plan all along?

34:24 When you look at the Alaskan LNG, it's on the north side. And the only way to currently get it down to China and Japan is through the Bering Strait. Well enter a little conversation with Putin at the beginning of the year in Alaska about business in Alaska. Because the plan has been since this year to cut a pipeline all the way down to south so that you wouldn't have to go through the Bering Strait, but that is obviously not completed yet. This was from a year ago It's one of the most important nights on Taiwan's business calendar. An annual dinner in Taipei hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan, where business leaders from around the world rub elbows with officials from both countries. But the star of the show wasn't a person but a pipeline for LNG, liquefied natural gas. The Trump administration is especially eager to share our LNG resources with close partners including through their completion of the Alaska North Slope LNG project

35:26 The pipeline, which has been pushed since President Trump took office in January aims to sell Alaska's LNG to Asia. My administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world where Japan South Korea and other nations want to be our partner. The 44 billion US dollar project would stretch 1300 kilometers across the northern state. The gas it produced would then be shipped to some of the world's largest gas importers Japan South Korea and Taiwan And the night saw Taiwan's national oil company CPC announce its intent to invest in the project and buy its LNG. We are very interested in buying Alaska natural gas because it can meet our needs and ensure our energy security. Yes, okay so pretty important everybody there

36:22 Yeah, we by the way did discuss this when it was first announced. I can't remember that to me was like oh uh i heard you're so pipelined out I think it's probably it. I am! I'm so pipeline but pipelines turn out to be really important they're trying to do the increase... They can't they got like three million barrels a day going from Saudi Arabia across the desert That's not gonna that's not going to replace anything. You know, you're 20 million or 25 million barrels a day But I mean it just it feels like you know I think I'm agreeing with your idea there that like, you know, you guys wouldn't help out Okay, whatever but man Trump has got to do something about Israel and that's why he's yelling at him the only guy who might be able to give us some insight is The gay Patton gay general Patton

37:15 Scott Besson, who was very involved in all of this. And he does speak financial stuff and he was on Meet the Press this morning. Interested in Manhans Welker's interview with him? Hello? I'm sorry what did you say? Do you want to hear the gay general? Oh no! I actually watched it yeah there are some good moments in there He kind of like...I think his best moment predicting what the next guest was going to talk about. You know, I was on the phone with President Trump a week ago he told me allies were on the way to help secure the Strait of Hormuz has the Trump administration abandoned that strategy and now chosen to go it alone? Again what we have done there has been a campaign using military assets to soften up

38:10 the Iranian fortifications along the strait that's going to continue until they are completely demolished. And Kristen, let me tell you whether it is this network or the mainstream press The American people do not have good framing what is going on here If you were to read what is happening Not good framing I'm sure when Senator Murphy was on he has come out and said we're losing the war That is wrong We have demolished the Iranian capabilities. Their air force is completely destroyed, navy destroyed and every day we are taking out their missiles, their missile systems and the factories that build those missiles

38:49 The General Kane, Secretary Hegseth are leading a campaign to destroy all the fortifications along the Straits of Hermos. Just to put a fine point on this though is the president in the process of winding down this war or escalating? Again they're not mutually exclusive Sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate, Chris. You gotta hit the gas to go slower! Oh okay... So this is really where it comes down too, stuff is moving but its moving at a It sounds like our at our whim. All right, let me talk about your announcement this past week on Friday the Treasury Department lifted sanctions on Iranian oil stored on tankers a move that would effectively allow Iran to get more than 14 billion dollars of oil revenue Why is the US helping to fund a country that it's currently at war with? Again Kristen why don't we go up who she talking about Russia or Iran

39:48 Iran actually. Okay, okay. The US helping... Which makes me wonder again let's just stop for a second go back to our thesis of I don't know years ago where there is a they're in cahoots we're in cahoots with them Well with somebody, who's left to be in cahoots with? Well I don't know. That's the way it has got to get out of there and see what shakes out. It would effectively allow Iran to get more than 14 billion dollars of oil revenue Why is the US helping to fund a country that is currently at war with Mr Secretary? Again Kristen why do we have good facts here

40:24 That Iranian oil was always going to be sold to the Chinese. It was going to be sold at a discount. Best price! Which is better, Kristin? If oil prices spiked to $150 and they were getting 70% of that or oil prices below 100 it's better to have them where they are now and to be clear we had always planned for this contingency about 140 million barrels are out on the water. In essence, we are jujitsuing the Iranians. We're using their own oil against them. We have a much better line of sight to be clear at Treasury

41:06 When this oil goes to, if it goes to Indonesia. If it goes to Japan. If it goes to Korea we have a much better line of sight and are able to block accounts that the oil goes into when it goes into China It completely gets recycled so the fort to be clear what 14 billion number did he say? He's steamrolling this poor woman and she has a golden opportunity just ask stop him cold and say Why don't we just commandeer all this oil? And they get nothing out of it. It's like we do with Venezuela, why don't we do that?" No no she was flat-footed This is terrible She's just no good at this job

41:51 better line of sight and are able to block accounts that the oil goes into. When it goes into China, it completely gets recycled so the fourth... How does that work? Recycle? I didn't understand. Block accounts and it gets recycled. It gets recycled and she says nothing. ...goes to Korea we have a much better line of sight and are able to block accounts that the oil goes into. When it goes into China, it completely gets recycled so the fort- To be clear that 14 billion number is grossly overstated Okay So now we're just with us just numbers but Manhans Welker has has the question She knows what her viewers want to know I mean even Tina was getting gas the other day and she texts me Thanks Trump!

42:36 Because you know it's kind of expensive, even in Texas. Let me talk about the real world impact of this because we're talking about 140 million barrels of Iranian oil and that's just a little bit more than what the world uses in one day how much can that really change prices here at home? Again Chris terrible framing, terrible framing Well how much can it change prices here at home? Can you talk to consumers How much will it change prices here at home? Just let me explain 140 million barrels about 20 million barrels a day comes out of the Gulf. About 5 million has been repurposed by the Saudis. So it's basically seven days? Is that my calculations right there? I don't know, he just throwing so many numbers on us. By the way, we're at 15 deficit about 1.5 is Iranian oil that comes out. We are between 10 and 14 million deficit

43:33 on a daily basis. So if you think about 140 million barrels, that's between 10 days and two weeks of supply. And one of the reasons the prices in the US of West Texas crude are below $100, and we have not seen this massive spike as we did during the beginning of Russia and Ukraine is because we are well supplied in the market, whether it is the Russian oil. Yeah. Whether it is Iranian oil or it is the largest SPR release in history done by a coalition of 32 countries 400 million barrels. Right? But it's the markets determine the price and the markets are just spooked so that that's why the price is going up whether there's enough in the market or not

44:22 But, okay. One to two weeks would be the pullout time and... Well he's setting it up but does he have the guts to do it? This is a gutsy move! In what way? To pull out. It looks like you surrendered. No there are Americans that go in they can't- They never stick it out He can only- Here's how it would work Israel does something stupid and Trump goes because here's your twofer And Trump goes, all right you idiots go do whatever I'm out. Yeah that's too obvious yeah that's too uh

45:03 scripted, it looks like. He's gotta just do it out of scratch and I think he's setting it up. He's saying we've done everything we can do and now there's just these rogue, the way they describe it, the only reason their missiles are flying around is because of these rogue generals and these rogue Iranian guys but there's no leaders that nobody to talk to, he says so what's the point of us being there? We got no leaders, nobody to talk to They've taken everything out that's important. They set back the nuke program once again, get out!

45:40 One more math with Scott clip. All right, let's talk about the Russian oil which you just raised. The administration did use oil sanctions on Russia earlier this month. You had initially defended imposing those sanctions calling Russian exports quote oils that funds the Russian war machine if the point of the sanctions was to stop funding the Russian war machine why is the administration effectively rewarding Russia? Again Kristen you're missing the point Which is better? Does Russia get more money if oil goes to 150 and they get 70% of that, thats 105 or if oil stays below 100 so they're getting less money. Our analysis shows our analysis shows that the maximum extra amount the Russia could get would be two billion dollars which is one days of the Russian Federation's budget but understood what they wouldn't have gotten

46:35 any of that with the sanctions in place? I don't know. Whoever's told you, whoever does your research you should get rid of because they were getting it. It was going into China. China was buying over 90% of the Russian oil and it was... But what is the point of sanction if not to punish Russia, if not to punish countries? We have no ability to do that to China. If China wants to be a bad actor, but we were substantially able to degrade their exports—their exports have dropped about 25 percent when the rest of the world isn't buying it—so exports are down but there was a lifeline into China now we've opened up that to everyone else

47:22 Okay, just to be clear though you did defend imposing those sanctions in the first place. Let me ask... Just to be clear it is a maximum of two billion dollars so let's have good framing on this. Framing! Framing! We want our good framing So we got our source on the ground boots-on-the-ground who's talking to us Yeah and I have feeling he's in Bahrain I'm not sure, but he's in that region and... He knows he is in the region. Yeah! He's not happy No, I'll share his note Three weeks under expected barrage of unexpected barrage of missiles and drones It's quite bizarre to imagine our quiet and beautiful place with sounds of sirens every hour And the gut-wrenching feeling that the worst is about to happen The country is a small island hence my guess

48:12 and only one causeway connected to the rest of the world, let alone severe freshwater vulnerability and huge dependency on desalination. Yeah it's a lot of those places While everyone is talking about a marginal cost at the pump, we are unaware of what unknowns are awaiting us. As most of our countries depend on imports for medicine food and every little necessity. The Israelis for some weird reason are playing a bad cop game which is quite dangerous blowing up gas oil fields desalination plants power plant ports and airports and claiming it was the US or even to GCC countries leaving GCC countries to receive the aggressive retaliations every day See? We're not getting all that reporting

48:51 No. The GCC countries are trying their best not to engage in a direct confrontation knowing that the US and Israel can stop anytime they want, there it is pack up and leave which leaves us in a war with a group of people who have absolutely nothing to lose, an isolated country that survived 40 years 47 years of isolation I think Trump thought this would be a paper tiger but it seems to be a bit tougher than a walk-in the park like Venezuela more of a cardboard tiger And he gives us his insights here to finish it up. The Islamic Republic was modeled over a Frankenstein of ideologies, a mix of Zoroastrianism, 12-verse Shia Islam, revolutionary communism and an Islamic Brotherhood organization covered in a novel and creative mix of eschatology invented to give a level of extreme holiness to the Grand Ayatollah and mixed with fairy tale end-of-time prophecies. Sounds about right!

49:43 I'm not sure what the endgame is, but the overall war is comical in nature with stupid turn-based RPG like shot and retaliation events huge theatrics from all parties and tons of misinformation and disinformation. Amen For us this is existential And it's really concerning to have the lives and will be well being of my wife and kids hanging in the balance for such foolish adventures Adam pray for us maybe a mix of prayer to Jesus and Allah can somehow work he actually prayed for you. So John, remember that for some unknown reason my prayer to Allah saved you." There you go! So looking at this possible pullout this 48-hour warning may be the signal and I didn't know Richard Engel was now working for Sky News did you know that?

50:30 I think he works as a stringer for them. I think he's still with NBC or the network, I think it's NBC. Some kind of shared agreement well here is with his report so this war is still going right now just getting an alert and now President Trump is talking about escalating it even further what he specifically said is that if Iran doesn't fully open the Straits of Hormuz, not partially open it. Not just to its allies, not just to its regular customers like China then the United States will respond according President Trump starting from 1145 p.m GMT tomorrow by obliterating power plants in Iran starting with the biggest one

51:14 The Iranians immediately responded saying if our infrastructure is attacked, we will attack infrastructure and reiterated a threat. This was from a colonel in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and specifically talked about desalinization and targeting desalination facilities in the Gulf. Now, the Gulf states are very dependent on desalination just to look at Qatar. Qatar gets 99% of its drinking water by extracting it from the sea and taking the salt out of it. Bahrain more than 90 percent of his drinking water comes from desalination plants so they're now talking about hitting each other where it hurts

51:56 in the same way that Vladimir Putin targeted the power grid in Ukraine because Ukraine is cold and freezing. He would do these attacks in the winter to make the people suffer. President Trump is now threatening to squeeze the people of Iran and the government by cutting off the power, as Dominic was just saying, and the Iranians saying well we can make the deserts dry and cut off the drinking water. Well there it is 48 hours clock is ticking Well, he's not gonna do that. I don't think so well He won't he won't but I don't think anybody will and uh No this is gonna be interesting But yes to do something it's gonna have to be drastic and it's gonna have to be soon This drags on too long. He's got a you know if you look at the timing of the whole thing He's gotta be out of this thing So we could take a victory lap You know mission accomplished style BS, you know victory lap

52:54 So he can change the focus of the country to that because we're still dealing with it, with the primaries coming up and in the focus of the country by July 4th has to be on a 250th anniversary of the country. Yes. No, we have to have victory. That's gotta be yeah. Yeah. Gotta happen by then and you gotta wind this down but I think getting out saying that no one is going to help us and uh... Okay well then what was the point? It was a mistake. So this is just the exit, this is just a cover up. What was so positioning everything in the region it wasn't mistakes?

53:36 I don't understand. What was the intended goal? Well, the intended goal was to end for once and for all all the nuclear capabilities so they won't have a bomb. Trump said that in this clip we played earlier and they've done that. So that's been accomplished. What more do we need to be doing there? Well, I thought this is more about China and making them pay retail instead of wholesale, and getting all the bad elements out. Well you know you can't win them all! This is the one thing that we don't seem to realize... You can't win them ALL Right but this gives a lot of credence to people who are running around saying that Bibi Netanyahu told Trump to do this Well they could do that all day long That's not going to end no matter

54:32 It's well, it's not about Trump. It's about the Republican Party. It's about splitting splitting the base and getting people to definitely not vote for Republicans who are all in on Israel and all in on Trump And I think it's having success Yeah, it is that's why Trump's got take action here and reverse course And he'll take a beating for it for awhile, but by the time July 4th rolls around and you get to celebrate the country... No. He has to do something about Israel that's irreparable at this point! Well, he has too but there's got to have to be something they... The way they're going is... That's gotta be the easy part I don't think so

55:18 I really don't. I mean, I've been following this for months now and it's... No! Half of our audience has left because we don't agree that Israel controls America and Trump Yeah, I know well they're very foolish So Tucker is the nucleus of this It's abundantly clear He is the guy that has everybody on who is against Israel. He's got your favorite guy there, what's his name? Nick Fuentes

55:59 Who is now, he's now proclaiming... He went back on Tucker's show after... No no no but Fuentes is trending again and he's like we're under occupation. The United States is occupied by a foreign nation! Yeah, that sounds right. And you've got Candace and you've got Megan Kelly and Megan Kelly's fighting with the Great One with Mark Levin! The Great One... Mark Levin!! ...and the whole thing is one big mess. We've talked about Tucker being a member of The Pilgrim Society—we've joked about it—being a member of The Pilgrim Society Well it's not a joke he is Well there's no evidence of that but I mean

56:44 It seems that way. Do you want to just explain the Pilgrim Society so people know what that is? It's been around for a hundred years. One of those secret societies, of old timers... That uh.. You know I don't know what they do! it's just one of these things is the pilgrims society yeah but they're pro UK Pro Britain Yeah there are basically monarchists Yes and and I'm always looking to see can I how can I I mean besides the fact Tucker always, instead of... he always says rather. I'd rather do this rather than that! I'm always looking where's his anglophile roots? You actually want to look at his parents to get a little more insight into that in particular His mom's family before his dad divorced her you know they were big commodity people in Britain

57:36 But I got this interview where here's Tucker, just a podcaster. Talks about what he does in the wintertime. Some of us go to Martha's Vineyard. Some of us do certain things. He is definitely more elitist than he lets on. What does your gut tell you right now about the Gulf Arab countries? Because as you know there is some dispute between Saudi Arabia UAE Qatar the UAE. What does your gut tell you about this? I've been having this conversation. In the wintertime, we usually travel around or always travel around and see friends have dinner and stuff. John in the wintertime do you travel around to see friends and have dinner and stuff? Or do you... Do you do other things? My buddies that we all do a whole group of us We jump in a rock-and-roll bus

58:29 I mean, what do i really think? There is of course a dispute going on. Let me ask you this if someone asks you to identify yourself and im not talking about your gender or sexuality What would say are you are? What country are you from who are you? Im an American You're an American okay thank you! Im an American thats what i would say. What are you? Im an American Some kind...I don't get involved in intra-Arab disputes I dont speak Arabic I dont understand it I like everybody I've been in all three of those countries in the last 10 days. I like them all, and I would never get involved but big picture as an outsider is an Anglo's American English speaker... I'm sorry? As an Anglo?! I've never said that my life course not who says that

59:12 I'm an Anglo. Pilgrims say that! A few of the Chicanos around here might call me that, but... I'm an Anglo and he quickly corrects an American. I like them all. I would never get involved. But big picture as an outsider is an Anglos, an American English speaker. English speaker? I see things in terms of power balance So when he pops up, you know we got Joe Kent and Joe Kent resigns and he immediately goes on Tucker's show. He's on every single show I might add Have you followed what this Joe Kent guy is doing?

59:51 Yeah, it's like he was... Like somebody gave him the call and activated the cell. Yes! Listen to him on Scott Horton Show Mr Anti-War Now do you think that plan A was to parachute the monarch Reza Pahlavi, the grandson in there? Or it was really.. The Israeli goal was just convince Trump to get it started and the plan is destroy Persia The Israelis were big fans of throwing everything at the wall to see what would stick. So I think at some point in time, they probably briefed like the monarch's son or the MEK or the Kurds etc., but really at the end of the day, the Israeli goal was to get in there and hammer their regime, kill the Supreme Leader... And killing the Supreme Leader, I think it was twofold. Basically killed the guy that was restraining a nuclear program. It's another more compelling case to make that hey look

1:00:39 a But really, the entire Israeli goal was just to launch this to topple the regime at any cost because they know that time is short. They know that they're losing a lot of support on both sides of the aisle in America and so for them timing was of the essence and it basically worked out the details later get us deeply entrenched in this thing as fast as I can After that, they basically met their main strategic objective. Everything else is just a matter of getting us to stay committed to the fight. Yeah so yes he's been activated on every single podcast

1:01:27 including Megyn Kelly, where he's alluding to Charlie Kirk being murdered by Israel. Didn't bring that today but here he is on Sagar. I agree well considering that you know our colleagues over at Dropside News they commissioned a poll A lot of Americans believe that the war in Iran was to distract from the Epstein files Do you think there's any credence to that idea? That's an interesting theory and actually I would say, I would disagree just in the sense that the drumbeat for the war with Iran has been going on longer than most people knew who Epstein was. But it was probably a welcome distraction considering how much it was in the news because again if you want people to rally around the flag and start a new war thats kind of like politics 101 tragically so I think thats factor but I don't think it was specifically

1:02:13 for Epstein. Had the Epstein files never existed, there'd still be unfortunately a neoconservative Israeli lobby for a war with Iran. Yeah so it's all Israel Trump this is the thing that is interesting These people really think Trump is an idiot. He may not always be the best, he might always be right but I don't think you can accuse him of being an idiot and they literally are saying he's an idiot Bibi Netanyahu told them to do this everything he stood for his entire life he's going to put on the line just for Israel because I don't know. Because why? Well, the shortcut is always there's something in the Epstein files! There's something going on here listen to this... Sticking a little bit with the Epstein question that's another one and look i'm not saying I believe this but I have seen a lot of people who do they think you know you talked there about Trump potentially being influenced by a threat to his safety another theory is about Epstein his conduct around Epstein has been bizarre if we're being honest yeah I can say that you don't have to say it

1:03:16 Do you think there's any credence to that? I think if Trump was in the Epstein files, they would have used it to take him out long before he even got the nomination back in 2016. Even if you don't like Trump, I think that's just kind of obvious but again we go back this appears to be a very powerful network and so for people who've been anywhere near it are they intimidated by it? That's a potential Yeah, and sticking with that you know given your assessment now you've worked at the highest levels of the United States intelligence community. You said you do think Epson is an intelligence asset not specifically for any one country so given your experience within that

1:03:56 I would just want to be very, very clear. It would not be out of the question to have powerful networks like this which are linked to United States intelligence, Israeli intelligence, Russian intelligence? Yes or no? Of course! Yeah, of course! I mean...I think most Western governments would use several layers of cutouts and all the people who could be called to testify probably actually wouldn't know anything and it wouldn't- there'd be very limited files about it is just my professional opinion So intelligence is so strong, particularly US and Israeli intelligence that Trump is afraid for his life. And he's just doing whatever he's told that is the consistent message but it leans more towards Israel doesn't seem that way no now so Tucker

1:04:37 being the Anglo that he is, the big interview that he does is with The Economist. With the lady from The Economist. You can't be more British Crown City of London North Sea Nexus than going on... She rarely does interviews. Do you ever see her doing interviews with anybody? Yeah, she does the important ones. The important ones okay yeah so I pulled a few clips from it. Beydose i think is her name. Yeah whatever her name is. I pulled a few clips from it but before just to give you contrast and people can change they can change their opinion I've changed my opinion throughout the course of this show many times This is Tucker from 1996 when he was still at the what was it the weekly standard I think

1:05:24 and he was still wearing bow ties. This is him talking... In 96, he may have been an MSNBC. No could've been! But this was on C-SPAN and he was answering a viewer question about Pat Buchanan being anti-semitic. Well, I mean you know it's perfectly valid to question America's relationship with Israel. Israel has a lobby It's perfectly fair as far as i'm concerned to beat up on israel's lobby but that's...I don't think that's the reason that Buchanan is being labeled an antisemite. It's this kind of as I've said there's this relentless this relentless bringing up topics related to Judaism. Famously Pat always beats up on Goldman Sachs but never Morgan Stanley, I mean it's really hard to... There is no point at which Pat Buchanan has held a press conference and said you know i really don't like the Jews and think they're sinister force in America But I think, and it took me years to come to this

1:06:20 to this position. I mean, i'm not throwing the term anti-Semite around but you reach a point when you say well gee here's a guy who has gone out of his way to defend Kim Jong Il and other accused Nazi war criminals who constantly attacked Israel, who attacked American Jews for supporting Israel unduly who implied that American Jews push America into wars in which non-Jews die There really is, and again I'm not hysterical on this subject but I do believe that there's a pattern with Pat Buchanan of needling the Jews. Is that anti-Semitic? Yeah! After awhile you conclude it is in some sense anti-Semitic. I mean, Pat Buchanan obviously has a lot of personal and affectionate relationships

1:07:09 with people who are Jewish. So on a personal level, perhaps he's not but on a different maybe thematic level I think he probably is Anyway so just thought it was fun to listen to Tucker in a different setting different network different frame of...different framing perhaps Yes, so he goes on with The Economist and this is an important interview. It's the big interview because she does all the big ones and here we go. In your copious podcasting about this in the last two weeks... Hey hey hey! We are the copious podcasters okay lady? ...weeks you have made the argument very strongly that

1:07:45 The United States has been pushed into something not in its own national interest by pressure from Israel and the lobbying power of Israel. Well, it has been! The question is whether the person who makes the ultimate decision would be President Trump should have pushed back. That's it, of course Trump should have pushed back as previous presidents have done to some extent some very limited extent George W Bush didn't push back we went up in the Iraq war and now everyone pretends oh that was nothing to do with Israel What are you doing? I, you know... I'm trying to do something in the back. I'm trying to find something and unfortunately- Why don't you just listen to my clips? I'll listen to the clip but I have to mute it. Don't yell at me for being muted! Well, do you want me to wait for a second while you do whatever- No no this really has got nothing to do with it. Just play the clip. I can hear it

1:08:39 To some extent, to some very limited extent, George W. Bush didn't push back we went up in the Iraq war and now everyone pretends oh that had nothing to do with Israel I was there! I was talking to Bush See this right there he keeps saying this I disagree with that. The Iraq War wasn't... from what I can recall, Israel was saying no don't do it! Do you recall that? I don't remember them saying don't do it but it had nothing to do with Israel. Well the- Israel didn't have a beef with Iraq! Well Tucker is saying that he was there He was there. Yeah, he's always there isn't he? He was there and I found this annoying To some extent, to some very limited extent George W Bush didn't push back we went up in the Iraq war and now everyone pretends oh that had nothing to do with Israel! I was there, I was talking to Bush That's not true it's a lie And that's why its so important from my perspective It's a lie

1:09:35 It's annoying. Yeah, but it's like the Iraq war was a lie. But to say that Israel—that it was at Israel's behest and that he was there with George W Bush and that's what it was about... And then say if anything else is a lie? That's… That's, that doesn't seem right to me. It just seems like no that's not the truth To say out loud what is true before history is rewritten and disappears Very different And it's lying and gets us here because we say oh no no lobbying efforts had no effect Really? We said they were a pharmaceutical policy No Everybody understands that every policy a large government makes including ours Is influenced by various stakeholders who are affected by their policy

1:10:35 But this is the one area we have to be like, no it had nothing to do with the fact that his biggest donors were pushing him to do this or the BB visited seven times in one year. Are you joking? I'm not going to play along with the lies anymore! I don't hate Jews. I don't hate Israel. I love my country. This has happened yet again. I can give you a whole list of previous times where it's happened and I think we need to know what happens so we don't hurt ourselves further." So he is saying that Bibi Netanyahu convinced Trump, the dummy... to go to war against Iran at Israel's behest. And people believe this, John. They believe this! I am not saying don't blame Israel. I think Israel has its own national interests and Israel was certainly pushing for things but i think there is more agency and therefore more responsibility with the President of the United States than Trump administration. He represents me. I live here. But that's important because in the way you described it... But Israel pushed him into this now he shouldn't

1:11:35 have gone along with it, he should have pushed back. But to pretend that Trump woke up one morning is like- I'm not suggesting that to be clear. Israel pushed him and the prime minister by the way is not even just... It's not Israel there are a lot of people who disagree in Israel. I know some of them! It was the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu who pushed our president into doing this and I hope this is the last time that Netanyahu or any foreign head of state will ever push an American president to do something that hurts America I mean, it's one thing if you say your donors the lobby. The Congress had nothing to do with this. AIPAC didn't force this war so the only logical conclusion Tucker has is Bibi Netanyahu visited Trump seven times and said you're gonna do this and Trump was like okay Bibi

1:12:27 And the logical result of this discussion is breaking up Trump's so-called MAGA base, America First base. It has broken into MAGA and America First. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a part of it. It's an obvious fracture Let's talk though, a little bit more about how this declining support for Israel which I think is one of the most significant political shifts in the United States in recent years How is that shaping? The MAGA movement and are you now seeing when I look at the opinion polls? I'm told that there's 100% support amongst MAGA or 95 percent support for the war

1:13:06 On the other hand, you're clearly a man with a large number of followers who is making a very very different argument. I was standing next to Trump at his house when he got elected and known him for a long time. I talked to him a lot so... Wait a minute! So Tucker was staying next to his house when he got elected He's known him along long time. He knows a lot about him anything And so his conclusion is that Trump is stupid and lets Israel push him around BB netanyahu specifically That sounds like what he's saying. You know, I don't fully understand what MAGA is but I know that the core promise of the Trump political movement to make America great again was America first and it was articulated by him repeatedly at every campaign stop for 10 years

1:13:55 So, everyone in America knows this. I think everyone globally knows this the core of this movement was the idea that you wouldn't we can debate about how You do it But you would try to put the interest of your country at the center of every calculation About how you manage your country and how you interact with the world It's not a it's the single most obvious and single most popular political concept ever devised Okay so he's saying something important here if the curry Dvorak consulting group were asked to give the president talking points, which he's famously quite horrible at. What would the talking points be to say striking Iran was in America's interest? Well they had a...they were developing an weapon

1:14:38 that would have disrupted the world's economy and hurt America. And it had to be stopped. We've heard that so many times, but now it was true all the times we've heard one more week next week next month... Yeah I know you had to hear Lindsey Graham on the Bill O'Reilly podcast. I saw it but I couldn't believe it. You got 60% enriched! It means you get four weeks at any given time But how about this? How about, this may not be acceptable or maybe too complicated for people to understand but how about this. We're sick of Wall Street and particularly the British banks running shipping, running the insurance

1:15:26 keeping the Middle East in turmoil so that they have extra premium on oil at all times. We're sick of them meddling and everything, I'm trying to get stuff together with the Abraham Accords. I think I can get Israel in line but we've got to get these morons out with their possible nuclear weapon and we probably have to get other companies running the oil from Iran, which will give the profits to Iran or split it. The way we did with Venezuela would that not be a plausible answer along with hey China has been getting wholesale price they need to pay retail isn't that America first am I wrong about that? I think that's a perfect analysis well Tucker in this last clip

1:16:12 Leaves room to he could be a double agent. This is I'm listening like whoa hold on a second So Tucker is now, because he's good friends with Trump. Oh yeah, lives next door. Living next door to him! But the president... He has to convince me that this was America first listen to this Do you think Donald Trump has betrayed America first? I think that this war is something that he promised he wouldn't do not once but countless times and until YouTube is banned we'll be able to prove that And the idea behind it is not only contrary to America First, it may be its inverse. There's no argument that changing the regime in Iran helps the United States and if there is an argument I'd love to hear it. By the way, if that argument is sensible and convincing, I will support it. All I care about is the United States but I haven't heard that argument a single time all I've heard

1:17:16 the kind of tiresome fear-mongering about nuclear weapons, which Iran did not have. It's insulting actually even to make that argument to me." So that's a huge hole he leaves open there! If someone can convince him that this was in America's interest —which I think i just gave a reasonable argument— then Tucker would switch around and be back on board and support it? Well that's interesting... You know, you've been in the hospital. I know you've been watching TV but this is it's out of control It really is people hate Trump now they hate him Well a contingency does yeah, it's it's big. I have a feeling for these things. It's big. It's big All right. I don't think this as big as you might think mmm

1:18:13 Well, we're talking about this just I got a couple of side clip if you want to hear something kind of funny. It's about time Well, before we do that though here I do have the oil China analysis clip. Ah! Here we go. Our China correspondent Laura Bicker has this from Beijing. China is not feeling the shock of this war yet but it is feeling ripple effects first of all let's look at oil because China is the world's largest importer of crude oil and some wondered how would be drink up well for the last few months since January it has been stockpiled stockpiling crude oil and it's thought it has at least three to four months supply. Also China is insulated from any energy crisis because its had this push towards renewables and of course electric vehicles that should ensure the queues at the petrol pumps will not be too long, And of course when it comes to oil we have seen analysts suggest that some Chinese flagships are making it through the Strait of Hormuz how many?

1:19:16 and for how long is uncertain. Where China will be concerned is if this turns into a long protracted war in the Middle East, and that is That is because China will be worried about the global economy. The country is already trying to deal with serious economic challenges domestically, to get itself out of trouble it needs to export and sell its goods. If you have a large region like the Middle East which is very well connected right across the Global South to Africa and elsewhere then perhaps their buying power will be reduced. That is something Beijing will not want to see America first right there Oops simmer down China, I'll see you in five weeks

1:20:02 Yeah, well hopefully. Well we'll see So here's the kind of the funny clip nobody is reporting this except you know these screwball channel 26 where I got this clip You know these Indian channels and some of these a couple robots are reporting it to me This has gotta be one of the typical crazy stories that come about because of the sanctions and this in that rogue ships and shipping companies that aren't really owned by anybody. It's nuts out there, so there's this screwball story going around which I thought was quite funny and should have been. I would run it if I was a news editor dead ship.

1:20:41 Unreported story. This should have been reported in mainstream media, Channel 26. There is a Russian ship that suffered damages that we are seeing here and this caused leaders of five countries of the European Union surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to warn of a serious and imminent risk of an ecological disaster in this sea in the Mediterranean due to this Russian LNG liquefied natural gas transport ship Russian ship that has suffered an unidentified incident with explosions and a fire. In other words, they do not know for sure if this has to do with the war or not but let's say this ship suffered an incident and that would generate a serious imminent risk of an ecological disaster in the Mediterranean The ship is a Russian gas tanker called Arctic Metagas damaged

1:21:30 damaged by a series of explosions. It has been adrift for 15 days Moscow claims that the ship was attacked by Ukrainian underwater drones in other words it would not be related to Iran but to the war between Russia and Ukraine at the same time Kiev didn't comment on the incident which means he didn't claim responsibility The precarious condition of this ship combined with the nature of its specialized cargo creates an imminent and serious risk of a major ecological disaster in the heart of the European Union's Maritime Space Center. This was pointed up by the Prime Ministers of Spain, Italy Greece Cyprus and Malta in a letter they addressed to the European Commission You know who had this story? Mimi had this story actually

1:22:10 Yeah, she had this story but there was another version of it. I cut right to the end and didn't want to play the whole thing that's got a kind of kicker everybody seems to have missed. Okay here we go. The EU said the vessel was part of Russia's shadow fleet used to circumvent sanctions imposed after Russia 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine Russia's foreign ministry has acknowledged that the vessel was adrift in the Mediterranean and said Moscow's involvement in resolving the situation depended on concrete circumstances. Russia's transport ministry earlier this month said the Arctic Metagaz, carrying LNG from the arctic port of Murmansk was attacked by Ukrainian naval drones and said the weapons had been launched by Libyan coast guard. Was this from a video game? A TV series or movie?

1:22:59 I have no... this is a dumb clip, it sounds terrible. But it's the little gotcha at the end that just like what are they talking about? What was the very end? Let me listen. Gaz carrying LNG from the Arctic port of Murmansk was attacked by Ukrainian naval drones and said the weapons had been launched by Libyan Coast Guard. Libyan Coast Guard?! Okay! What!? Yeah, yeah. I don't know what people are talking about. What is that all about? The Europeans don't really want to talk about it because they have a different message this is Queen Ursula doubling down now that we have this oil shortage and gas shortage and Europe is you know they are telling people to drive slower Drive slower! Drive slower to work everybody conserve gas Don't use your stove

1:23:54 If you have gas, why do you have gas? Don't use it. Drive slower! Try to take the train try to take the bus This is crazy Here's her doubling down So we have our clear targets and we're sticking to our targets Very important was the discussion And you just reiterated it how important it is that We do the transformation in the energy sector To clean homegrown energy sources This is for us extremely important. Therefore, all the incentives we have set with the emission trading system I think today in the European Council it was impressive to see there was a clear majority clearly asking for them substance of the emission trading system also you mentioned few factors like being homegrown or preventing volatility prices but also because investment

1:24:52 of the business case is needs stability and predictability. So we are on track on the mid and long term, and our goals are very clear." So you can trade in your emissions, there's going to be a market for it. Your carbon credits they are taking over Europe with this. Taking over! It's bad and meanwhile...

1:26:24 Well, not... I mean have any of you found any clips where they say due to climate change? No or Jews. All right, well Robert we had a couple of deaths. We have our immemorial segment for today Sad news as Chuck Norris passed away at 86 An energetic Chuck Norris in what would be his last social media post celebrating his 86th birthday I don't age...I level up

1:27:00 His family announcing his death and asking for privacy at this difficult time. The actor and martial arts star was born March 10th, 1940 in Oklahoma. He joined the Air Force after high school and was sent to Korea it was during this deployment that he would begin his martial arts training which would later define his Hollywood career Norris was a six-time undefeated middleweight karate champion. He credits Steve McQueen with encouraging him to try acting. He crossed paths with another martial arts legend, Bruce Lee and they faced off against each other in the 1972 film The Way of the Dragon. He acted in more than 20 movies including Missing In Action and The Delta Force while they may not have been critically acclaimed, they made box office gold and garnered him millions of fans

1:27:54 With his reputation as a tough guy firmly established, he stepped into what would become his most iconic role. Famed lawman Cordell Walker in TV's Walker Texas Ranger. The show was so popular it ran for nine seasons and he was made an honorary Texas Ranger. Norris later found renewed fame as an internet meme where fans reveled in his toughness, sharing takes such as Chuck Norris once ate at entire bottle of sleeping pills they made him blink. Oh man did you ever meet him?

1:28:30 No, did you? No. I was gonna ask if Mimi had dated him because she has a lot of stories. She's got stories man. So uh...I want to get two clips out of the way. Okay. Because i thought you kind of short sheeted the idea on your last show with Mimi about What I thought, I was the one pushing this in the background by the way. Was that Cesar Chavez BS! I've never seen anything... any group of people panic so much over Cesar Chavez and uh...I want to play two clips

1:29:07 This is, for example... Set it up and explain what... Yeah. Cesar Chavez has been dead for years Some woman who was his sidekick the whole time he was running the farm workers out of the blue after him and his brother are both dead had decided to slam him for some reason like she was called out by I don't know given a phone call I don't know what's behind all this to say that he was a rapist, just terrible person and basically overnight half the schools in California are named Cesar Chavez. Streets everywhere names Caesar Chavez and this is all being covered up to parks. The dog walking park everything you know... It's full on cancellation

1:29:59 It's a full-on cancellation so far after the fact it is ridiculous. But you have to listen to a couple of these guys, American Cholo is one of them who has kind of an outline for some of this stuff going on This is Chavez about Huerta The woman who made the accusations Dolores Huerta all said and done had 11 children Okay? Doesn't make her a bad woman but let's put context into this She had two, which nobody knew about until just recently from Cesar Chavez. She also had two from a prior relationship Ralph she had to children from him Which I believe was one of her longest relationships she had one with what's name Ventura was another one she has five children from this man right and

1:30:49 And the other one that she had kids from was Cesar Chavez's brother. She got with Cesar Chavez's brother and had four children from him I don't know if this is a pattern But it's definitely not somebody who you would think is, you know living the high and moral life. And for her to have four children with a brother of the man she is now accusing of raping and having a relationship with the brother and with Cesar Chavez for all those years...for decades It makes me think. It just makes me think, I'm sorry! I know it's easy to sit there and bash the man and say yeah it's true, I bet people bash him And the reason they're bashing him is because he was anti-immigration He was calling Mexicans wetbacks or any other Latino wetbacks Different time You can't sit there and put your morals and values of today's world To yesterday's life So to me, I am making this video

1:31:47 So that we can discuss this, have the conversation about this. Let's sit here and have a real conversation in the comment section without just spewing hate, without just spewing allegations facts bro There has to be something that somebody got wind of That is...that or maybe a documentary or something is coming that is a detriment to the Democrat Party and their entire stance on illegal immigrant workers. It has to be something. I think so too, I think they're clearing the runway But why? Austin is doing it too we have Cesar Chavez

1:32:29 Avenue, I think. It's kind of the main drag by the river in Austin They already have City Council has already approved a measure and it has to go through a couple of steps they want To change that as well there must be something that somebody got wind of That is brewing so bad this has to happen I agree But what? Well, we're gonna find out eventually but the way they've done this in such a panicky fashion from one woman out of the blue you know decades later It's just it's a masterpiece and in Orchestrated cancellation. This is not just casual no I have another clip of her this is Huerta herself She's she's leading. This is like in 2008

1:33:20 Long after her rape, she's still with Chavez and she is leading a march. A farmers farm workers march you can hear it just to show you that she was still involved with him Today we're going to be marching remembering Cesar Chavez. Con cada paso que nos vamos, with every step that we take, we are going to dedicate ourselves to continue Cesar's legacy.

1:34:00 You want to tell me what she said because I could hear a word. She had something about Chavez's legacy, this is after he has gone she still supporting him. This whole thing is so phony and it got eaten up by the media. I mean I've never seen anything happen so fast no hearings, no discussion one woman you know I'd have to do the look at the calculation of the date years after his death and just after his brother's death. So they have no dead man can't talk does this it gets picked up on well so this whole thing see The New York Times published a multi-year investigative report on the 18th, and this is what kicked it off

1:35:05 And their report details decades, decades. Oh here we go. Decades of grooming and sexual assault of minors and that's like with an O and women within the UFW maybe there is something in the deep in the annals so to speak of the UFW which is the workers, um... The farm workers union? Maybe there's... it's gotta be a, it's got to be like a Netflix thing or something. Or no Amazon. Well maybe there is a movie yeah! A movie or Amazon. It would have to be Amazon not Netflix

1:35:45 Something has got to come out. Something has got to be brewing that they're freaked out about there's no other reason for this clearly coordinated op. That's probably Mimi brought it up like I mean, I'm sure it's bigger in California It's probably about something in California because we're not hearing about it I had to look it up the see if Austin was a part of it Of course they are maybe there's an Epstein connection Yeah, that's what is So Robert Mueller died. Yeah, and then Trump did his usual goody I'm glad he's dead! And of course he gets condemned for being basically rude A douche? A douche Well it was very convenient that Mueller is dead It was the right time to go You know this with a...I think Tulsi Gabbard is still looking at things

1:36:44 I don't know. She may be ready to bail, there's lots of rumors Tulsi Gabbard is ready to bail she's getting out ready to go. We'll see but i think the funniest move by Trump is this one. Well onto this Fox News alert President Trump just posting this on True Social quote if the radical left Democrats don't immediately sign an agreement to let our country in particular our airports be free and safe again I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE agents to the airports where they will do security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all illegal immigrants who have come into our country with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia who have totally destroyed with the approval of a corrupt governor attorney general and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The once great state of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ice in action at our airports make America great again

1:37:39 As we know, ICE is fully funded for a few years. So he does have the power to do this and I guess the question remains does Chuck Schumer continue this? And President Trump make good on that promise he just put out on True Social Well that's gonna be interesting Yeah, I thought that was a good move I don't know if it's going to speed up the lines any...I doubt it No, they'll slow him down probably Yeah, like papers! Papers everybody show your papers! The happiest countries in the world is out again. Is Denmark one? No, no! Denmark is down there at number three Holy mackerel Yeah They're also one of the most medicated No, number one is... Well this kind of makes sense that people are happy there because they've got... Wait a minute Finland's just number 1 Finland Why is Finland so happy

1:38:43 I don't know, i've never seen a Finn laugh. Iceland is number two edging past Denmark? Wow! Now in the report from the BBC they show uh this is probably little slanted you see Iceland they're looking at like some downtown they've got a rainbow street okay So maybe it's because they're all gay. Maybe they're confusing happy with gay. Gay means happy? Yes, so it's Finland number one Iceland number two Denmark number three Costa Rica number four Sweden at number five Are you kidding me people in Sweden are mad Then you've got Norway six and the Netherlands at seven The Dutch have never been happy about anything They just not a happy people! So this is just a bogus poll Yeah who does this poll let me see

1:39:38 Wallet hub? They don't actually explain it. Thanks BBC! I don't explain how they do this, who does this poll? They make a big deal about it in the news and it always comes... Oh its Gallup! It's Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network Well, it's green too. There you go because they're green and they're happy with their immigrants okay that makes total sense since we're gonna smash everything together into one segment I want you to kind of ease into everything there's anything I wanted do a couple of tech things but is anything else you want to play from your from your list? What since she talked about Denmark

1:40:29 I might as well play my asylum commentary from a Denmark person discussing the Palestinians that moved there. So, Denmark did a little scientific study with the 321 Palestinian asylum seekers they've let into their country what they did was they basically just kept track of them and their children over the last 30 years And out of those 321 original refugees, 204 of them have been convicted are on government welfare, that's more than 50% of them. Now the fun part is when we get to their 399 children where 337 of them ended up convicted of a crime that's 85%, 132 of them went to jail and 372 of them out of 399 ended up on welfare. Let's just talk simple logistics, that isn't sustainable

1:41:29 That isn't a pathway for your country to succeed. You're talking about a single group of refugees that in just two generations had a higher than 50% crime rate, a higher than 50% jailed rate and nearly an 80% rate of being dependent upon the state to survive. Yeah, that's fucked! No, that makes you happy. That gets you into top three of the happiest countries in the world because it is great Yeah. And that's Palestinians! They could do that with Somalis, they could do that any country wants to play that game they just have to find a little group the ghettoized group of the moment and because they've been there 30 years and uh... and do this stat it is always going to be crappy but yet we still hear immigrants do less crime than people who live there yeah right where did that come from? I don't know

1:42:27 from some think tank, no doubt. Let's just do a little bit of AI stuff because there have been some things happening and there are some things changing and I have had some new thoughts The first thing is OpenAI is getting ready for the biggest public offering in the world history And they're trying to shore everything up and get it all set and get ready, and batten down the hatches. Getting new details today from an OpenAI All Hands meeting where leadership doubled down on the push toward their enterprise business and an IPO. What does it mean? Kate Rooney has more in today's tech chat. Kate? Hi Kelly so that was a message from Fiji Simo she is OpenAI CEO of applications I spoke with somebody who was in her room at her employee all hands

1:43:16 Last week, the source says that she really emphasized why their enterprise business is so important. This was two employees who really tried to rally employees around that message according to this person Simo said that the opportunity is to now take chat GPT's 900 million users turn them into high compute users and transform CPT into a productivity tool as part of that OpenAI has been shifting its focus from some of the less profitable projects within the business. The Journal was first to report some of these details, someone close to Sam Altman also tells me it does fit within his broader strategy for OpenAI Enterprise and ChatGPT have had the most

1:43:51 material impact on revenue ahead of an IPO and OpenAI is going to need to prove more discipline not just talk about it. And that is where CFO Sarah Fryer's coming in I'm told by sources she's been getting OpenAI ready to list as early as the fourth quarter this year discussing which gap metrics to use we have reported she has been putting out a more defined infrastructure spend 600 billion versus more than a trillion dollars two investors and then Fryer also, I am told, is beefing up the IR team. She hired Cynthia Gaylora that's Morgan Stanley Former banker, she was the CFO of Dropbox to really help get that message out to Wall Street. Kelly? So I don't know about this IPO...I mean they need to do it they need to get early investors out

1:44:34 People are probably like, you better get this company public so I can bail out of this as soon as I can to get my thinking. Um, I don't know if this will be the tipping point, but I have been doing a lot of, uh, intense AI work vibe coding at home. I did the whole open claw thing and found it tedious, annoying. It's not very great. People are all just loving it because it does things for you." And then I discovered something called OpenCode which is an open source program, open source models that is incredibly useful

1:45:20 You can make it do stuff on your computer and make your computer do things that are handy. So as an example, you know the entire Linux system that I'm using for this show, you know, with local things doing it locally. It's for my computer. It's not useful for anybody else I open sourced it and put on GitHub but yeah I don't know if anyone cares. Ben Rose actually said something interesting to me the other day he says If I create a piece of software that just solves one problem for me that's great! I don't need to have some software company like Microsoft

1:45:58 So an example would be Office. I need something that creates documents compatible with Microsoft's Office, I don't need the ribbon, I don't need Clippy, I don't need Zippy, I don't need all of this stuff just...just do that! And these local programs and local large language models that you can run yourself are capable of doing that. And so I was listening to the All In podcast with JCal, JCal and the crew, they were at the big NVIDIA conference. As an aside Jason Kalacanis who donated $888.88

1:46:41 to give you a reason to live, was the only person. The only person not Darren, not Larry, not Moe he was the only person that sent me a personal message and said hey if you need me to sit in or help out a little bit while John's getting better I'm here for you. I thought that was really quite sweet yeah He is actually good guy And he, and so I'm listening to this interview and Jensen's got his leather jacket on and everyone's drooling over him as usual. Chamath and all those guys are like oh Jensen! But um... Jaykal

1:47:22 who he does, sometimes he launches stuff. When he said this I don't know if he made it up or not but this hit me and and i think i can kind of see where things are going with AI. I want to take you from the data center to the desktop See when JCal says something like that from the data center's the desktop...I can already hear the CNBC people saying that two weeks from now It's great! We're going from the data center to the desktop! I want to take you from the data center to the desktop The company was built in large part on hobbyists, video gamers and all those graphic cards in the beginning. And you mentioned in front of I think 10,000 people here just Claude OpenClaw, Claude Code and what a revolution agents have become and specifically

1:48:09 The hobbyists who are really where a lot of energy, we see you know a lot of the innovation breaks want desktops. You announced one here I believe it's the Dell 6800 This is a very powerful workstation to run local models 750 gigs of RAM. Obviously the Mac studio sold out everywhere in my company, we're moving to open claw everything. Freeberg just got claw-pilled. You got claw-pilled I understand you're obsessed with these. What is this from the streets movement of creating open source agents and using open source on the desktop mean to you so great where is that going? So great, so great. So a couple of things here first I love claw-pilled ridiculous

1:48:57 It really is so the people are using this agents, it's like an agent. Oh I got an agent on the computer! But it really is phenomenal if you use open code and you say I need a program on my computer that does this And I had something really simple...I wanted to log into Google News using my account Get the top 10 headlines about a topic that I give it usually two words like Straits of Hormuz or Hormuz Straits I think I put in there I wanted to give me a summary, show me the top 10 stories and then find the top 5 YouTube videos about it. It has changed the way i do my show prep and I asked you to do that and I could watch it build this program specifically just for me not useful than anybody else not an agent but its building software for me that specific need that I have now JCal says something very interesting here

1:49:53 that they're coming out with or they are powering a 750 gigabyte Dell computer and that the Apple M4 Studio 10 whatever is sold out. The reason being what Apple has done specifically, you can load that up with 500 gigabytes of regular RAM and the architecture of Apple's device... And I presume things are going to change for Intel devices you can use, it automatically will apportion that to running the large language model. So you don't need a specific NVIDIA GPU It can use this RAM and it can allocate whatever is necessary And so when I heard Jensen Wang go oh so great! I thought him...I heard him saying not-so-great and listen to the second clip OpenClaw basically put into popular consciousness

1:50:51 What an AI agent can do That's the reason why open class so important from a cultural perspective now The second second reason why it's so important is that open claw is? Opened but it formulates It structures a type of computing model that is basically reinventing computering altogether. It has a memory system, it's scratch, it has short term memory file systems, it has resources and manages resources, it does scheduling Right? And it cron jobs, it could spawn off agents. It could decompose a task and solve problems as does scheduling. It has IOS subsystems that can input, output and connect to WhatsApp. Also, it has API that allows it run multiple types of applications called skills. These four elements fundamentally define a computer

1:51:52 And therefore, what do we have? We have a personal artificial intelligence computer for the very first time. Open source? It's open source, it runs literally everywhere and so this is now the... This is basically the blueprint The operating system of modern computing I think... Woah! Sorry about that I think there's something here wasn't that always Steve Jobs' dream to have a computer interface just be say I want you do this and it does it I think what's happening with open source, not with the big models and OpenAI and Gemini and Anthropic and all that. But with stuff you can run at home if RAM weren't so crazy expensive which may not be by accident

1:52:45 You can do it with just, if you have enough RAM you can run this and yeah. You might have a different computing experience that has kind of always been the dream of Silicon Valley but no one wants to admit it nobody actually wants it to happen Does that make sense? A little bit I'll have to think about it Well...You'll have plenty of time to think about You think? Because in the meantime, while you're thinking I want to thank you for your courage and say a morning- In the morning to you. The man who put the C in clawpilled Say hello to my friend on the other end The one, the only, the welcome back Mr John Cena!

1:53:26 Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry. Why are you laughing? Because I'm thinking this is like the opening of the show What is? This triggered an opening remark from me and when I said we have free gas You should've said we have free gas up there. You never threw a question at me so that I could do my joke Oh okay hold on a second what do you mean you got free gas Yeah, you get free gas if you give him the code word. What's the code word? This is a stick-up. Let's count the trolls for a second here... Oh he's back everybody! He's back and let's check oh we have uh

1:54:14 2105. All right, now that's not bad for us. Not too bad It was like it's not like people really care of that much about you But at least they came back well You know listen to die the unit can download the show I've heard about that as a podcast those trolls are listening live at No agenda stream calm and they're probably using They should be using one of those modern podcast apps which you can find it podcast apps comm why you ask? Well, because then you get an alert when we go live. It's a regular podcast app with all of the cool new features chapters transcripts You name it But when we go live if you get a bat signal you get it or you get an immediate alert and you can listen to podcasts Live a lot of the podcast at no agenda nation are streamed live first And you can subscribe to them and it all comes through the wonderful magic of the know agenda stream but many others are doing it as well and We are value for value

1:55:09 Thank you so much for keeping the show afloat during John's short absence. It was highly appreciated, really nice to see that people wanted to give you a reason to live and clearly it worked so far! And The Value For Value can be done in multiple ways – you can send in your time or talent The treasure part is obvious, we'll get to that. But we have time and talent people doing a lot of work when they made the call We didn't know exactly what's going to happen I must have received three or four different best-of shows so thank you if you're still working on one finish it It's never never a bad idea to have a best of show And people still created artwork and we didn't have

1:55:54 The same type of discussion because I was just selecting the art. I was letting Mimi go cuz she would after every show She's like wow this is tiring Like this is a lot of work Yeah, yeah people that people don't know right doing it though That's the funny thing no course you like doing it and she was good at it It was a different show but she was very good at it enjoyed immensely And she inspired the art for episode 1852, which was submitted to noagendaartgenerator.com by Blue Acorn and this was a you really had to listen to the show to understand this one Shaggy dog story Mimi at the pool in her bikini with Jim Morrison of The Doors wearing his own T-shirt You had to be there But I liked it thought it was a good piece So were you looking at the art at all during your your downtime?

1:56:47 Only to repost. I didn't look at the art, i'm way behind on looking at the art Well we're going to start looking at the art uh on thursday's show so please submit your artwork for episode 1853 all of that is highly appreciated and We always thank all of our supporters $50 and above And we're gonna do it all in this segment To give John a little ease back into the show And we'll start with our executive and associate executive producers. Right off the bat, with $1,050 from Lagovista Texas Jim. Then he says Jim in Lagovista here heard y'all talking about gyros recently holy crap that's a while back yes reminded me of our flight throwing some in the kitty and I may have some fresh content of interest oh this is

1:57:39 This is Jim who took me in the gyrocopter trip. Oh, you went up in a gyro? Yeah I wanted to learn how to fly him and I was still an Austin when I went up there And they have a flight school Gyros are great If you can fly a chopper You could fly one of these I bet It's different Answer yes But it is very different type of flying They're not super fast, which is a bit like helicopters. But there's some new ones out there that are really you know seven hour hang time they got air conditioning you know three you can see five people in some of these things they're getting very sophisticated and they are by my account some of the safest type of aircraft you can get. So Jim reach out to me

Encouraging you to ditch... Exactly! Wow thanks Judas

2:00:13 Encouraging you to ditch the Bay Area before it actually kills you.

2:01:59 Hopefully now the big donations from Sironymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia will start back up so we can all try to decode the messages to you from Mimi out on assignment. Yeah, this is his big theory. You've heard this theory? Yeah he thinks Mimi's a spook I'm her handler and Sironymous of Dogpatch & Lower Slobovia is Mimi's conduit of cash that goes into the show Yes but you're not the handler she's your handler No, no. He changed it Oh well let me read the rest of the note You should also know that Adam was flirting with Mimi and grooming her while you were away lying by the pool in Cabo And she was even sending bikini pictures to him Hey Mimi send some...me some too Yeah this is true Not not...it's not a bikini It's hot pants

2:02:48 John, how do I reach you? Your landline just rings and rings. You need to set up forwarding or at least voicemail! I have to communicate with Adam more now than ever Not that that's a bad thing... Adam, I just don't want John getting jealous How are we going to schedule our next dinner or our trip to see Big Boy? Oh my God! Wooo! Listen to that horn!! He made me do that So uh If you call my landline, it forwards to Jay's cell phone number and she picks it up. And if I'm standing around she'll hand it over to me so I don't know what he is talking about. He checked out just before the show. He wants to go see some train? The big boy train? Oh yeah, I know the big boy is going to be in the neighborhood What is the Big Boy? That's the world's biggest... America anyways It's a giant locomotive that the Union Pacific floats around

Shall I read this one since it's very long? Yeah you might as well Are you gonna play any like Sickman card at all? You haven't done that once during the show I haven't done what? Are you going to play like... It's good for months. It's gonna take two months before i can move my arms basically Well so, you should say oh you've gotta read this long note because I had a heart attack Well I could have done it that time but now you gave me an extra bonus

2:04:31 This is from Sean Ryan in Volante, Texas. $300 and 88 cents. Please dedouche me and my son Dylan Ryan. You've been de-dooched! There's the dedouche for him and one for his son... You've been de-dooched I'm finally getting around to making my first donation. I started listening to your show late last year, and my Gen Zed son Dylan said Dad! You should check out the No Agenda Show. I think you'd like it. I liked the show the first time i heard it but, I was and still am confused with fighting stage 4 cancer of the ride that killed Scott Adams recently. So I was an occasional listener then now I can hardly function without listening to every show fully even to the very end with your lovely closing music. I've abandoned all other podcasts they just don't carefully

2:05:25 Listen to and deconstruct the M5M like you guys do. I'm addicted! My request accompanying this donation, there will be more as they fully intend to reach night status before things go to heck in a handbasket with my health is twofold First kindly deduce both me and my son Dylan Ryan did that his referring me to your show has instilled the sense of pride that I raised him right The allocation for deducing should be $250.88 allocated towards my path to knighthood with the remainder allocated to him Secondly, I request that you do an F cancer along with good health karma when you read my note on the air Coming up Lastly, I will be making a trip to Fredericksburg on April 11th 2026 for the meetup at 1776 Barn Full Moon Inn Bed and Breakfast I really hope to have the opportunity to meet one of two most admired people

2:35:29 Well, well just like a party we have John's tip of the day coming up which turns out is really Mimi's tip of the day I'm convinced that Mimi does all of these. I don't know if you actually do You do any of them or is it all me? Me? I think how much of you is Mimi What? So I would say that yes, this is hers. She said can I do tip of the day? Sure we got an ISOs first we go to ISO's wait before no I'm still no tip of the days mine I'm talking about the ISOs the ISOs are her now I want to tell you something she says I'm gonna send you some me I said okay she sends me 12

2:36:23 Of which 11 were no good. 11 of them are like this... And so I picked one and she's very disappointed, but i'll get back to the AI next show or the show after Okay shall I play yours first or mine? Yeah you might as well play mine. I almost spit out my coffee Oh it's a little cut off there at the end that's disappointing I see, I've got a couple here. Good job guys! Thank you. But maybe, maybe this is more up your alley. Okay! Cut me the checks How about that? That's cute but I like the first one the best Uh... see this one? Good job guys Thank you That one? Yeah Oh well use that one then BUT FIRST IT IS TIME HE'S BACK IN THE SADDLE It is John C. Dvorak's tip of the day Great advice for you and me Just a tip with JCB And sometimes Adam

2:37:31 Now this is a screwball tip. So when you're in the hospital, you listen to a lot of books on tape? Oh is that what you do how about podcasts how about the best podcast in universe well I would listen to that but that's you know books on table six hours oh yeah one after another but I have to say You wouldn't expect this is to be the one I was gonna pick hmm it's called Elizabeth II life of a monarch Wow I have to say, this was stuck on the phone. Jay was setting me up with some books to listen to and somehow this got on there. Now I don't know who gives a crap about Elizabeth. But Jay insisted

2:38:12 No, no she didn't insist it just was on there. And I couldn't get something else to play or wouldn't download or you can't stream in the hospital whatever so I ended up starting to listen to this thing and now see the problem is if you go to Amazon the editor's pick which is Elizabeth The Queen Life of a Modern Monarch as an audio book only and then there's Elizabeth II In Private There's a bunch of different ones And the one that shows up on the title here, exactly is Elizabeth II Life of a Monarch. So you may have to... this may be hit or miss I'll tell ya, fascinating!

2:38:56 Really? It's absolutely fascinating. You could, it's like what?! Every single little details all these details about when they were kids and what would they wear and what they would throw at each other And that Margaret, you know the younger one. The sister was a biter? Oh she was nuts! She's crazy. She was quite a biter. Yeah and there was... it just talks about Charles all kinds of details that you wouldn't think were interesting but it's absolutely fascinating Have you ever watched The Crown on Netflix? No Because it's in essence the same monarch

2:39:39 And what always struck me, I don't know if this is in the audio book... ...is how obsessed the entire family is with the press. It's always about the press. How did that come across? You stole my thunder and depressed does that come across in the book? That's a little bit of that yeah I'd say Those people are sad don't you think Well there was The thing they mention in the book Gruesome and wicked I think wretched Wretched was the word I think I used Well, Elizabeth seems like a really actually kind of a nice person. But they mentioned a documentary that was done by the I think the BBC? Yeah but it was Charles's deal he wanted to do a documentary of The Family And is this just one they buried? No eventually it aired once then they couldn't stop and came back and its all over the place There were couple of them that were done I think the recent one Is the one you're talking about but there was one done a long time ago

2:40:38 that was, they played it and they just said no. We can't have the fact because it's mostly inside information so they go into their room... In fact when Elizabeth moved into Buckingham Palace as a little nine year old or something I don't remember when this first happened she said oh they thought it was cool but the place was crawling with mice. Mice were everywhere and it was tattered Yeah, it's something kind of semi-pathetic about it. As our president would say, It was a shithole. Yeah. That was in the crown as well... The mice and everything was a mess. Wow! That's an interesting tip So for those of you going in for open heart surgery there is your Tip Of The Day Find them all at noagendafund.comtipoftheday.net
