About this episode

Law enforcement officials arrested 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen after he breached security at the White House Correspondents Dinner targeting Trump administration officials. Allen, a Torrance teacher with ties to the Sunrise Movement and Wide Awakes, authored a manifesto labeling himself a federal assassin. While Barack Obama and mainstream media outlets characterized the event as part of a general scourge of gun violence, investigators are currently mapping Allen’s radicalization alongside cases like Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent detailed Operation Economic Fury, a maximum pressure campaign that has successfully devalued the Iranian currency by 70 percent. The strategy involves seizing nearly half a billion dollars in crypto assets and targeting shadow fleet oil tankers used by China to bypass sanctions. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is defending a naval blockade of Iranian ports as a military operation rather than an act of war to circumvent the War Powers Resolution. In the private sector, Google and Anthropic are securing massive Pentagon AI contracts for classified mission planning while the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences bans AI-generated performances from Oscar eligibility.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged to ban direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising on his first day in office during recent Senate testimony. The episode features a listener spotlight on Air Force veteran Carol Goodman and the knighting of Jason Peterson into the Order of the Heart. Technical segments highlight Ventoy for bootable USB management and the release of limited edition Trump signature passports by the State Department.

Cole Thomas Allen, White House Correspondents Dinner Assassination Attempt

Law enforcement captured 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen after he breached security at a hotel during the White House Correspondents Dinner. Allen, a teacher from Torrance, California, published a 1,000-word manifesto labeling himself a "friendly federal assassin" and targeting Trump administration officials. Investigators are examining his ties to the Wide Awakes and the Sunrise Movement, groups advocating for climate action and the removal of Donald Trump from power.

02:35 And it's borderline second half of show topic, but maybe not. When you have a mass shooter or killer an assassin and criminal we're always looking out for a couple of clues number 33 is big one We're always looking out for, you know the FBI to be in touch with this person previously. Yes exactly three names The three names yes this is usually number one the three names And here's what happened this week in the M5M. Cole Thomas Allen

03:29 Cole Allen Since when has that ever happened? I don't recall it ever happening. So, that is strange and i think its probably mainly media trying to Hush him up a little, shh gotta be quiet. We can't give this guy three names that makes him sound super bad and there were so many strange things that went down regarding this. Everything is upside down with this guy

04:23 Let's get a little refresher on the background of Cole Thomas Allen. The suspect, 31-year old Cole Allen is a teacher from Torrance California south of Los Angeles He reportedly wrote a manifesto to his family and he has been interviewed by LATV Christine Frizzell reports My impression is that it was a lone wolf whack job. These are crazy people. President Donald Trump seemingly unshaken, following a gunman in his vicinity for the third time in less than two years. This suspect seen in surveillance video running through a security checkpoint and within moments being captured by law enforcement is 31-year old Cole Thomas Allen from Torrance California he reportedly had a 1000 word manifesto he sent to his family now published in The New York Post

05:15 calling himself a quote friendly federal assassin, describing his targets as administration officials not including FBI Director Kash Patel adding I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. He also mocked the quote insane lack of security at the hotel writing I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that i could be a threat We have preliminary work into some of his electronic devices and talking to some of the individuals who knew him. It does appear that he did in fact have set out to target folks that work in the administration, likely including the president. Other revelations so far are that the suspect was part of a group called The Wide Awakes and attended a No Kings protest in California where he also was working at an educational counseling and test prep company

06:08 The wheelchair brakes. Back in 2017, a local ABC station interviewed him about an emergency wheelchair brake he'd invented So this is still here he's still Cole Allen Thomas and this you know the whole thing about this guy fits it works perfectly in our cesspool of cynicism which is what we are surrounded with everywhere social media podcasts our very own troll room And so here's News Nation News Nation who now lead the charge by dropping the middle name. But they did dive into this Wide Awakes, which almost nobody did. Have you ever heard of the Wide Awakes? No

06:52 It's a historical group. The administration is working on reviewing how to best protect our president the FBI is working on finding out exactly who Cole Allen is What news nation did you forget his middle name? Let him to attempt this attack on the president No that was steady he forgot his last name President Investigators say Allen professed to be part of a loosely organized progressive group known as the Wide Awakes, which has roots dating back to when Abraham Lincoln was elected president. Investigative correspondent Rich McHugh joins us live. So Rich this is a grade school teacher with no criminal record

07:32 That's right, Nicole. You know we're learning more and more about Cole Allen as the days pass here and he was apparently aligned with that his sister told authorities that he was a member of called The Wide Awakes Here is what we know about this group in his affiliation with them at this time so The Wide Awakes appear to be part of a group called the Sunrise Movement political movement or organization which wants to end billionaire rule and stop the climate crisis, that it wants Donald Trump out of power. One of their activist campaigns is Ice Out for Good, focusing on ice. And members of that campaign call themselves Wide Awakes—quite literally agitators whose sole purpose is to disrupt ice in Los Angeles and Minneapolis this past winter. They held No Sleep For Ice protests outside of ICE hotels with the goal of getting ice out of their cities. They've held these protests in Portland and DC too.

08:27 On their website they write, for almost a year Donald Trump has been using ICE as an occupying army to intimidate and repress those who would stand against him. To win climate action we need to live in a democracy and that means preventing Donald Trump from establishing his own personal Gestapo the origins of this group in this name as you mentioned, go way back to the pre-civil war era. At that time the wide awakes a movement dedicated to abolishing slavery they protected abolitionist politicians from violence while relentlessly harassing pro slavery politicians showing up at their homes banging pots and pans This is so strange! It's like it's upside down

CHAPTER 03 / 39 Discussion

Barack Obama, Political Violence Rhetoric and Gun Control

Former President Barack Obama faced criticism for claiming the motive behind the Cole Thomas Allen shooting was unknown despite a public manifesto. Media analysts David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart debated the rise of political violence, with Brooks noting a higher prevalence of justified violence views among progressives. The discussion shifted toward the "scourge of gun violence" as a primary narrative used by mainstream media outlets.

barack obama· david brooks· jonathan capehart· political violence· gun control

09:13 pro-abolitionists that were, that happened during Lincoln's time and they're part of the Sunrise Movement? These kids who are singing in the hallways. Something is very strange about all this Well the Sunrise Movement website Yeah Is way too slick Mmm With to many professionally designed logos and signage and symbolism. I'm looking at it now." Yeah, signage and symbolism exactly so the charge was well you're looking at that the charge was led by former President Obama who's like this is the craziest thing i don't understand this at all Barack Obama claims that no one knows the motive of Cole Allen what man who tried to assassinate president trump at the white house correspondence dinner allegedly he also

10:12 He's also getting backlash for claiming to reject political violence, saying quote although we don't yet have the details about the motives behind the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner it is incumbent upon us all to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It is also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that US Secret Service agents show every day I'm grateful to them thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay. People immediately called him out for being a hypocrite, Allen left a detailed manifesto about his motive he wrote that he was quote no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat his hands with crimes and planned to target Trump administration officials investigators confirmed the manifesto and his social media were full of anti-Trump and anti Christian rants

11:05 He followed accounts like Representative AOC, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Senator Elizabeth Warren. His sister told police he talked about doing something to fix the world and that he had ties to radical groups like the White Awakes and The No Kings protests in California but Obama still claimed nobody knows the motive even though the manifesto was already public and Attorney General Todd Blanche in DC Police said the motive was clear anti-Trump bias Meanwhile, Obama has repeatedly warned that Trump is a threat to democracy and an authoritarian. He has said things like Trump threatens the very foundations of our democracy and compared some of his actions to those of strongmen which are basically dictators who rule with personal power instead of following normal democratic rules

11:54 Conservatives point out that Obama and his fellow Democrats spent years pushing the narrative that Trump is dangerous, illegitimate and a threat to the country. They continually demonize Trump in attacks that are repeated by mainstream media and amplified on platforms like Blue Sky. Blue Sky! Yes...and then on the PBS News Hour I checked your clips you didn't have them. I was happy because i had a find as I was paddling in your water Listen to what Brooks said periods and I look at the 2028 election with a great sense of foreboding Look at who thinks violence is justified. It tends to be younger people by a lot Most progressives and most conservatives are opposed violence, but you get two-and-a-half times as many progressive things than not But what strikes me about this guy? About the guy who shot in Butler about the guy who shot Charlie cook Kirk

12:48 They haven't seemed to have thought about it that much. It's not like they're radicals who have a big manifesto and an ideology, it seems almost flippant the way they go into these things almost like half-thought through and jokey And I can't quite make sense of what that kind of lighthearted nihilism That drives people on a whim almost do something that is horrific and life changing Two and a half times more likely to be The Left David Brooks says I've never heard him go off the reservation like that before. In fact, his compagnon, Capehart was just flustered. Jonathan how do you look at it? Well excuse me i'm not going to uh just let the comment that you know progressives more than folks in the far right are thinking violence is justified It is something that the American people feel

13:46 They're a little more comfortable with it than they were say five or ten years ago on the you and I were in that room We walked through the magnetometers together. We stood in that spot The thing now a week out That I've been thinking about And I keep coming back to it is that when I heard the five bags remember hearing five very loud bang bang bang My immediate action was so instinctive Drop to the floor under the table and be quiet like a little girl I've never been in a situation like that but as an American and certainly as a journalist having to cover all of these things And to listen to the recordings in the films you sort of learn through osmosis what to do

14:34 And to me, the bigger issue here is gun violence. Why was I not surprised that this had happened? And I've been to that dinner at least a dozen times since 2000 because I'm important and so yeah there's an issue of you know people feeling that political violence is the way to go and that we are in a highly charged atmosphere. But what's been sort of a specter over all of us for even longer, is the scourge of gun violence. Yeah good try no one is picking up on that! No one is going with gun violence at this time Even MSNOW formerly known as MSNBC

CHAPTER 04 / 39 Discussion

Radicalization Patterns, Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson Cases

The profile of Cole Thomas Allen is compared to other recent figures accused of political or corporate violence, including Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson. These individuals are described as having become radicalized through online conspiracy theories and anti-establishment ideologies. The FBI continues to process search warrants and electronic evidence to determine if these actors are part of a broader trend of 1960s-style political instability.

luigi mangione· tyler robinson· radicalization· political violence· fbi

15:18 Even they are seeing what's really happening. He was working as a part-time teacher, but he described himself as a game developer. You can find video online of him touting a wheelchair invention that allowed wheelchairs to be more stable. This was an accomplished person with a loving family apparently who went down the path

15:56 radicalization and the reason we know that is he's written a thousand-word document where he describes exactly why he did this and he describes President Trump as a pedophile and a racist rapist. He doesn't say he was targeting Donald Trump, but he says he was targeting Trump administration officials. He apologizes to his family in this post there are some evidence that he attended or was associated with a No Kings protest so it really fits the pattern of what we've seen with Luigi Mangione accused of killing the UnitedHealthcare CEO or Tyler Robinson accused of killing Charlie Kirk, other sort of people on the far left fringes who have become radicalized who are living in a world of unreality bombarded by conspiracy theories who decide that they have to take

16:41 violent action and it's contributing to a climate of political violence in this country that we have not seen since the 1960s. So more questions will be asked, and you know the FBI is poring over this man's writings on his social media they served as search warrant on him at his house in Torrance California yesterday so lot more investigations still being done but that That thousand word document that's been widely published and Donald Trump commented on it last night on 60 Minutes. That says a lot about, explains a lot about what appear to be the motives here guys So there is a cycle I think at play here And we're seeing some of this as they say, like the sixties political violence all over again And what are the chances that Anna Paulina Luna which i think should be she should be on the radio

CHAPTER 05 / 39 Discussion

MKUltra Modernization, SSRI Drugs and Mass Shootings

Representative Ana Paulina Luna announced upcoming House hearings regarding MKUltra and CIA influence, prompting a discussion on the role of SSRIs in modern mass shootings. Claims are made that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Prozac and Paxil are linked to homicidal and suicidal ideation. The theory suggests that widespread pharmaceutical use combined with inflammatory media messaging acts as a modern iteration of mind control.

mkultra· ssris· ana paulina luna· prozac· pharmaceutical industry

17:33 She'd do a morning show. Right now we've got Anna Paulina Luna, she's down there with the prize van! Alan Paulina what you got? She has hearings coming up on May 13th Which we've been talking about for pretty much 18 years on this show. From Rep Ana Paulina Luna, I think our next task force hearing will be on MKUltra and from the Daily Mail which she reposted declassified CIA files reveal chilling blueprint to manipulate Americans minds through covert drugging with vaccines. So I went down memory lane, looked at a couple of clips that we've played in the past. And the one thing missing from all of the mainstream M5M analysis for a long time is... The modern version of MKUltra which is not necessarily the CIA. Ehh..I don't know about vaccines

18:26 But we know what it is. We know exactly what it is SSRIs you're gonna get on the air and say hey, we just give it as this is from 2013 a Senator that night when even Thaum Hartman could talk about it don't even use it as an antidepressant anymore And they're not going to tell ya that it's an SSRI reuptake inhibitor. Does that sound familiar? Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which is the same family of drugs as Paxil and what's the most famous one of all Prozac? You wrote a book talking about Prozac. Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft... And the thing about is that it's not selective It's just a re-uptake inhibitor of Serotonin but also inhibits the reuptake of some other drugs

19:09 in that class so it is a drug so increases the levels of circulating serotonin and these these drugs he's ssr i drugs all of them have uh... suicide or homicide associated with him do they not they do you feel don't worry about this the the sounds we will both forces okay can you show me your ass it's hard to hear and i would set up that's quite all right not to worry doctor bregman but i would like to be a bright in a practicing psychiatrist and the author of uh... medication madness among other books and uh... he's pointing out that uh... the the navy yard shooter was on an essence of a long i'd says are drugs have been associated with uh... correct me if i'm wrong most of the mass shootings that we know of in the in the history nest is is that was an accurate statement so perhaps were just missing the obvious here

20:01 good portion of our country certainly people in their 30s 20s and 30s and younger but it's always you know the kids the kids kids hey it's the moms, its' the young dads. It's the young people. Its' the young...it's the incels sorry incel they're all on these SSRIs and if all day long all day long you get messaging from President Barack Obama, from everybody on the blue cry. I mean i saw all the video of that guy walking around the hotel hallways back and forth these people are in effect modern MKUltra it's not that hard

20:41 Well this is a new thesis, I like it. And really when you think about it this stuff has been going on since the 50's with these drugs that really brought us home first was a drug called Reserpig which which has been used to treat people who had hypertension. Now, it also became used as a drug to treat people who are anxious, a drug to treat kids were hyperactive, a drug to treat people depressed and a drug to treat people with psychosis but the interesting thing was that people being treated with hypertension of course had no nervous problems at all

21:18 And they would say, I mean the report is saying when they're in treatment in places like the Mayo Clinic good clinics. They reported as saying you know the first few doses I became very agitated and began having thoughts that were very unusual for me. Thoughts that included things like homicide. And it was only when I came off the drug that I realized it must have been the drug that did this, so that was there very early on in at the 1950's

21:55 The reason we know about it and everybody agrees Rezepin does these things, it makes you depressed. It makes you suicidal and makes you homicidal Everybody agrees about that because this is the drug that was cheap and generic And no pharmaceutical company had any interest to defend us But when exactly the same things begin to happen on the later antipsychotics and the SSRIs we have now, of course the pharmaceutical companies are making billions of dollars out of this. And they have every interest to defend the drug and tell people no our drug couldn't cause this. So maybe it never really even was that the true MKUltra?

22:38 Maybe the algo is the MKUltra trigger. Maybe I've been looking at this in the wrong way, like oh it's got to be the CIA doing it! No! It's all around us all the time And Brooks maybe sees it. Capehart goes, he's probably on him. No no no no no... Gun violence? Scourge of guns! No, the guy had knives just in case as an aside So there is something that the mainstream media can't report on because they still have the drug companies as their largest advertisers. No one's going to do any news reports on it, no one! Not even The Big Three you know? The CBS NBC ABC... They're not gonna do it

CHAPTER 06 / 39 Discussion

RFK Jr. Policy Promises, Pharmaceutical Advertising Bans

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outlined a series of executive actions he intends to take, including a ban on direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising on television. Kennedy also pledged to open CDC vaccine safety databases to public scrutiny on his first day in office. The discussion touches on the perceived "capture" of regulatory agencies and the potential link between drugs like Chantix and the death of Anthony Bourdain.

rfk jr· pharmaceutical advertising· cdc· vaccines· anthony bourdain

23:30 But this seems to me... No, they're beholden. They are completely locked in and loaded. They're co-opted Yes So it's no wonder that a guy like this just add blue sky Oh! They are captured Yeah I can go on That's good You got any more? I like it Captured, beholden Captured Co-opted Co-opted yes Co-opted, captured We need more C's so And back at which reminded me I wanted to mention this to you before we did the show, which was to dig up Kennedy's Promise. Oh his four things he was gonna do stopped a corruption of the periodicals Stop TV advertising there is a For us I think it was it called promise and

24:25 It was some sort of promise or something. RFK Promise, maybe that's what it was I don't think it would...it probably is in this label and we'll never find it but No we'll find it! I don't think he has done anything All he has done so far is He talks a lot, talks a big game But he just seems to have gotten the red dye out of food And thats about it That wasn't even one his promises He turned the pyramid upside down RFK Was it Promises? Was it, um... no. It was something else. It was like a to-do list for him Yeah I'm mad now that why can't i find this? RFK Jr., uh well one of them was advertising so maybe I can find it that way Oh! RFK Dangerous Okay, RFK Junior Junior Dangerous, is that it? Yes, I have them Ready?!

25:22 Go. Number one, I'm not intimidated by the agencies. I know how they work and I know how to change them and most of those changes you do not need Congress for the president President Trump could have done it at the power to do it himself and President Biden has the power to do that himself And I'll give you an example with a stroke of a pen You can change back the rule that allows pharmaceutical advertisers To direct-to consumer ads on television That's one of the big problems. That's why, one of the reasons we have this entrenched agency capture not only of Congress because they control the airwaves, they control evening news 75% of revenues for those evening news shows are Anderson Cooper is coming from Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies so and those companies are dictating content on those shows and dictate the official narratives

26:17 and they're able then to exercise huge control over Congress. So, Congress is terrified of them but with a stroke in the pen! You can say this is not good for the health of our country which it isn't we spend three times more than any other country for pharmaceutical drugs because all this advertising... Okay that was one Another thing that I can do is open up all the databases. Right now, all the databases where you can actually check the efficacy and safety of vaccines like the vaccine safety database. It's at the top. All the vaccine records

26:53 and the medical claims for 10 million Americans from the top 10 HMOs. You can look in there, and overnight you can say this vaccine is associated with diabetes, this one's associated with peanut allergies, this one's associated with ASD neurological ticks or whatever. That database CDC keeps it in a lockbox like Fort Knox that makes sure no scientist is allowed in there Well, I'll open up that database on day one. Day one? Yeah! Day One?! I'm still waiting to make my claim about being vaccine injured and Tourette's... And then the final promise? You know also I'll bring all the medical journals The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, JAMA

27:41 into the Justice Department, as soon as I appoint an AG. And I'll say to them you guys are part of a racketeering syndicate. You're collaborating with these pharmaceutical industry. Lie to the American public about the efficacy and safety of these products and your causing enormous harms and we are gonna sue you both civilly for damages and we're gonna sue you criminally unless you come up with a plan right now how you gonna stop doing that so like hundred things that I'm going to do immediately. Well, um... A hundred he said and he said a hundred didn't you just say that right there? He said 100, 100 things so on the advertising no i think he's done more than one they did indict that one dude from the Wuhan lab we'll see him yeah we'll see Fauci is right hand man we'll see where that goes They got to the 11th but on the advertising

28:39 The damage is done. The only thing, if you take away the big pharma advertising... ...the only thing that might achieve and that's a big might is that there would be reports about SSRIs I mean we go back to shantix Shantix which they couldn't tell you that You know, I still believe Anthony Bourdain would be alive today If he hadn't taken shantics That stuff makes you crazy or made you crazy Or allegedly made you crazy We had tons of reports, people waking up naked on their neighbor's lawn. I don't know how he got here! What the heck? So the SSRIs... even if you stopped advertising kids have breaks in school these days. 12 year olds, alright everybody it is 10-15, time for everybody to take your meds

29:35 Teach, I gotta take my meds. Everyone's taking their meds." That is so entrenched! When I was a kid nobody took meds. No... You took meds you were a weenie? What are you what's wrong with you?! What's your meds? Meds.... It's it that is the basis of the problem but then just need to add inflammatory language and expose everybody to it and it's not just kids The people taking these drugs are 30, 20s, 30's 40's 50's. Okay back in the day we had mom's little helper which was what was that moms? Was that Prozac? It was a tranquilizers different yes yeah SSRIs admittedly they don't even really know how they work they just work so although I was gonna laugh at him

CHAPTER 07 / 39 Discussion

Chuck Todd, Donald Trump Safety Concerns

Journalist Chuck Todd expressed personal safety concerns regarding Donald Trump's public events, citing a history of chaos following the former president. Todd argued that Trump fails to protect those in his orbit and contributes to a volatile political atmosphere. The segment concludes with a warning about the psychological impact of constant information ingestion and pharmaceutical influence.

chuck todd· donald trump· iranian assassins· political atmosphere· safety

30:33 Chuck Todd kind of has the right idea. He's such a weenie here. Listen to Chuck Todd, you know, Chuck Todd this podcast now these days I'm not going any more events where Trump's at him? I don't feel safe Yeah wherever Donald chaos follows him chaos follows him and you are less safe Right if you decide to go into his orbit You have put you have become less safe if you he's just he does not care about your safety. He's gonna protect you if you go into his orbit, because he's always going to protect himself first. He is more likely to throw you under the bus. Oh yeah! He is more likely have you be the target of Iranian assassins... If your John Bolton or Mike Pompeo. Iranian Assassins? And he is gonna pull any sort of federal support right?! You know I think about when somebody using Donald Trump words and actions targeted me and bunch of other members of press. Members of the Press. Do you know who I didn't hear from? Donald Trump

31:21 Right. So the guy doesn't care when people commit violence in his name, he only cares when the violence is committed against him and he does not see that he is a contributor to the atmospherics of the world we're living in right now? Okay so anyway all eyes on this cesspool of cynicism that is social media because anyone could fall prey to this Anyone, it's not even a political spectrum anymore. It's just whatever you've been inundated with... ...whatever has been injected into you, into your brain.... We weren't built for this! We weren't built for this type of information, this ingestation. We can't handle it and especially not if we're on drugs that no one really knows how they work but they might make you homicidal or suicidal Okay what could possibly go wrong? There now I'm being cynical

32:18 Yep, you are. Let's stick with Kennedy. Are we done with this thesis? Yeah the thesis is done yes the thesis is over But we'll follow it closely Oh Yes because there's something up I'm going to probably take the side that It does slant you politically The SSRIs by itself slants you politically? Yeah, I'm going that way. Well it... By the same reasoning it may want you to chop off your bits. Ooh! So here we have Kennedy at the he did you know he's a

CHAPTER 08 / 39 Discussion

RFK Jr. Senate Hearings, Vaccine Policy Shifts

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before Senate committees regarding his agency's budget and vaccine policy. During the hearings, Kennedy appeared to shift his stance by stating he promotes the measles vaccine, a move some analysts view as a political necessity. Additionally, Kennedy discussed plans to cut 20,000 staff members from HHS and eliminate federal programs like Title 10 to address the national debt.

rfk jr· senate finance committee· measles vaccine· hhs· budget cuts

33:00 You know, again he's got these promises he's gonna do a hundred things. He's done yeah maybe five Yeah But let's here is that a hearing and kind of backing off on some of his thinking Kennedy Jr. hadn't testified on Capitol Hill since September, that changed this past week he's just wrapped up seven hearings with several House and Senate committees the topic was supposed to be his agency's budget but lawmakers asked him questions far beyond that today Kennedy testified before two Senate committees finance and help which stands for health education labor and pensions NPR Salina Simmons-Duffins was watching is here to give us a highlight say Salina

33:38 Hi Rob. Okay, so how did the hearings go today? You know there were some intense moments which wasn't a big surprise because Secretary Kennedy has gone into shouting matches with lawmakers many times over the last year I was listening carefully to how Kennedy talked about vaccines prior to joining the Trump administration of course he built his reputation on anti-vaccine activism but then there's been some reporting that the White House is worried about his stance and policy changes on vaccines as a political liability because his positions are pretty unpopular. Here is an exchange with Democratic Senator Michael Bennett of Colorado about the measles vaccine, and he references CDC acting director Jay Bhattacharya. Are you taking the position as your CDC director has taken that the measles vaccine is vital to keeping American

34:27 keep children healthy in this country. Are you taking that position today? That has not been your position. That's my position, we promote the measles vaccine Thank you Mr Chairman Huh, that's his position. So is that a new position for Kennedy? You know the moment did strike me as a bit of a shift because Kennedy usually says that the measles vaccine is effective for those who decide to take it framing It as a personal decision which is not really how public health works so him agreeing with the statement that means the measles vaccine is vital to keeping American children healthy in this country was definitely notable. Although I don't want to overstate it, in most hearings most of the time Kennedy still hedged when he was talking about promoting vaccines. Wait a minute! I'm misunderstanding how public health works? Apparently public health only works if things are mandated Yes if they tell you what to do You must do this or else...you cannot make a choice my body myself forget it That's what she said Yeah NPR baby yeah I caught that too Here's part two which is kind of interesting

35:30 So we heard a Democratic senator asking questions. How did Republican senators question Kennedy? They were by and large very friendly they wanted to talk about you know certain policy issues There was a lot of praise how old is she 12 I'm just trying to guess by the voice Agreements to work together really at the edge of my seat when Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana questioned Kennedy because there's been this simmering conflict between the two men. Cassidy is a physician, he supports vaccines, and made Kennedy promise not to make big policy changes in exchange for his confirmation vote. Kennedy has violated those promises and I was really expecting Cassidy to challenge Kennedy about those policies

36:11 Instead, he expressed concern. It seems more than tragic. not a lot. There really weren't a lot of questions about the budget, even though Kennedy has made some big changes. He's cut 20,000 people from the staff of HHS. He is requesting a budget cut for next year. He proposed eliminating whole agencies.

37:03 a few times about programs that were being zeroed out. One of them is Title 10, which is a federal program that provides free birth control and SDI testing to low-income people and each time he asked he would say the national debt is really high we have to make cuts somewhere but there was also strikingly little about his plan to stand up a new agency called the Administration for a Healthy America. He would need Congress's help to do that and there was really no progress on that front last year it really doesn't sound like there's gonna be a priority for Kennedy for this year either. Now did you watch the hearing at all? Did you have a chance to watch any of the other things that were going on I watched a little bit of it but didn't get to watch the whole thing is he just a disappointment

CHAPTER 10 / 39 Discussion

Casey Means, Surgeon General Nomination Withdrawal

President Trump withdrew the nomination of Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General after a year-long confirmation stall in the Senate. Senator Bill Cassidy is blamed for sabotaging the nomination due to Means' skeptical views on vaccines and birth control. RFK Jr. criticized the move, claiming it was an effort by entrenched pharmaceutical interests to stall the "MAHA" (Make America Healthy Again) movement.

casey means· donald trump· bill cassidy· surgeon general· maha

40:55 now he's in there and he's kicking no ass as far as I can tell, and I don't think that he's ever going to. It would take him at least four years to untangle the web of deceit." So as we say in Texas like stepping into a red anthill fire ants you get it oh man! There was something else that happened around Kennedy's orbit this week? Here in Washington, President Trump making a big move dropping his controversial nominee for Surgeon General after her confirmation got stalled on the Hill because of opposition from his own party from Republicans. Here's the president in the last couple hours formally signing that withdrawal after months of questions about whether the Senate would actually confirm Dr Casey Means she was his previous pick lawmakers on both sides of the aisle had criticized her for not being supportive enough vaccines

41:47 for promoting the use of psychedelic drugs as therapy, for previously criticizing Americans' use of birth control saying it had horrifying health risks and over her qualifications generally. So she has now been pulled the president and Health Secretary today are both blaming this guy Senator Bill Cassidy a Republican for in their view sabotaging means is confirmation new pick Here she is, radiologist and Fox News contributor. The president says she's a star physician. We should note here this switch up marks the President's third Surgeon General nominee. Monica Alba is at the White House. An interesting sort of... I don't know if you want to call it a back down. It feels like an acknowledgement of the reality here that Casey means was stuck in this limbo and i think it's, it seems like the president just wants to move on fair what are you hearing? What do you mean that's absolutely fair how it's been almost a year since he did nominate Casey means and ultimately realized that she just wasn't going to have the support wasn't gonna be able to get across the finish line for Surgeon General so he did withdraw her nomination but you just mentioned all the key players here we can unpack that a little bit because

42:47 and Kennedy and Secretary Kennedy is pretty disappointed and upset today writing on X that he believes that this was basically a large attempt to get someone who has been, he says sabotaged by removing this appointment. And technically and very directly criticizes Senator Cassidy and he says he once again did the dirty work for entrenched interests seeking to stall

43:28 the Maha movement. This is what Secretary Kennedy is writing about Senator Cassidy and quote protect the very status quo that has made America the sickest nation on earth. Hmm well I agree with that yeah and Cassidy's a bad actor he's obviously co-opted by the Pharma And that's what he did. Yeah, these are doctors so he's got creds and he's got this comment about oh yeah I could you know vaccines have saved lives yeah in areas where we have like yellow fever and typhus and you have classic vaccines...yeah they do they stop it Yeah, but he's also all been on mRNA which is not a vaccine at all. No and you know the rest of it It's just like or and then the flu shot every year Which as we know because we had the clips and we have the documentation that gives you the flu Gives you the flu so what? You know, but he's all in on that tooth This is this is so the corruption is beyond again get pharma ads off TV

GLP-1 Side Effects, Hair Loss and Muscle Atrophy

Users of GLP-1 weight loss drugs are reporting significant side effects, including hair loss, muscle atrophy, and "ozempic face." The hair treatment industry is reportedly seeing a billion-dollar opportunity as a result of these complications. The segment warns that the aesthetic benefits of rapid weight loss are often offset by these systemic health issues.

44:28 So there was a new side effect of our favorite drug, although is it a drug? You know they should call it a vaccine since you inject it. GLP-1. A fat vaccine! If mRNA is a vaccine then why not... It's a fat vaccine! Yeah, got a fat vaccine so the idea is that you take the GLP-1 and you inject it some people have resorted to saying no no I'm microdosing it yeah that's what it is Of course your microdosing it It's what I said for 15 years. What? Since I was 15 years old, I'm just micro dosing the weed. I'm okay don't worry about me. So you know your butt falls off your face falls in

45:11 You're doing this to look better by losing weight. Look at that over there! Your muscle fades away and now... As GLP-1 drugs help millions of Americans lose weight, more and more users report dealing with side effects like hair loss. And that's creating a billion dollar opportunity for the hair treatment industry Oh it's an opportunity It's not just a trend I will call it old category resets with a wide space of opportunity for both life science and beauty brands. I spoke with one GLP-1 user who experienced hair loss while she was on the weight loss drug She said she used to have really thick hair but it took her a full year before she noticed it was falling out in clumps In clumps, I tell you! Clumps So... You want to look better by losing some weight And the result is... You lose your libido

The Onion Acquisition, Infowars and Alex Jones Live

The Onion won a bankruptcy auction for Infowars, leading to a parody takeover featuring Tim Heidecker. Alex Jones officially signed off from the original Infowars platform but has transitioned his operations to a new domain, AlexJonesLive.com. The transition involves shedding the legal baggage of the Infowars trademark while maintaining the same product lines and audience.

Tucker Carlson, New York Times Interview Treachery Claims

Tucker Carlson was interviewed by a New York Times reporter who challenged his claims regarding "treachery" against J.D. Vance. Carlson attributed the opposition to neoconservative figures around Marco Rubio but struggled to provide specific names when pressed. The exchange is characterized as a rare instance of a Beltway insider being held accountable for dinner-party rhetoric.

tucker carson· new york times· j.d. vance· marco rubio· beltway

52:39 Don't get it. Well you on the last show I said, I give you 200 thousand if you got me a million and then I'm working on it And then we're gonna get a net jets were going to the Bahamas baby. I'm gonna blow it all in one go You deserve it I Have info wars dot NL for some odd reason? I don't know why I would get rid of that No kidding no kidding I have a couple of clips. I'm sorry, did you want to do something else? Yeah, I was going to do one more screwball clip. So Tucker was front page New York Times He was interviewed by this reporter who actually turns out to be quite good at doing follow-up questions with Tucker Oh like an actual reporter and interviewer someone who's doing some pretty good yeah She nailed this guy! I have two clips from it

53:37 Now there's one that says anti-Christ and what is the other one? I don't have it on this list. Kidnapper Utah, Transgenier... Kidnapper? Transgenier! No no it says Tucker. Oh, hold my second. Oh no, I only have... oh Tucker on JD Vance yes yeah Got it. Play that. JD has been subject to... this is well known, but I'll just confirm it non-stop. Stop right there! He starts off about J.D Vance being you know they're out to get him It's he says as well known but I'll confirm it Well he always has facts. He's confirming what? He has facts. He has inside information So this woman does not put up with this

54:27 So let's start it over and note that he is trying to buffalo this poor girl, and she is not buying a word of it. She sees him as a phony! Who is this girl? What is her name? I don't have her name on me. We've got to keep our eye on her. If she's good, then she's good. JT has been subject to non-stop treachery from people on the neoconservative side. Who are these people? Around Marco Rubio and they have been totally against JD Vance from the very beginning. Who do you mean specifically? You know, I don't know is the real answer. I don't know. Accusing people of treachery so i'm wondering... Well I know there's been a lot of treachery for sure and I know they've been- They were so mad about J.D getting that job. They who's they within The White House

55:14 I don't, you know...I don't know the answer to that. I've never worked there so like if you don't work there You can say what you think but it's hard to really know This is me looking skeptical Yeah well no this is just me being honest like I don't really know Okay this a very good clip and the reason why My cousin Lucy loved her dearly when she was married to Christopher Buckley Which is the son of William F Buckley Jr. etc, etc Oh they're not married anymore? I thought they still were Oh no! They got divorced a long time ago No she left DC She had the house in Georgetown She had the 66 Corvette I mean everything perfect Perfect DC family And this is how The Beltway talks

56:04 The way Tucker talks, and he's been there most of his life as well as Buckley. Buckley is brother the Carlson kids And this is how you talk at a dinner party You know and just say these things in your throat they knows a lot it but no noses now confirm it and you know so on the Lot of these people that's a fact It was just a fact and no one in those circles will question it like this like this woman is And so he's so used to just throwing that out there because someone told him, someone within the Beltway crowd who we trust. I understand that. Someone is connected with someone else must know what they're talking about So he's being called out on his milieu

CHAPTER 15 / 39 Discussion

Tucker Carlson, Antichrist Quote Denial

During a New York Times interview, Tucker Carlson denied ever suggesting that Donald Trump could be the Antichrist. The reporter confronted him with a direct transcript from his own show where he questioned Trump's rejection of the Bible and his self-exaltation. Despite the audio evidence, Carlson maintained that the words never left his lips, leading to accusations of phoniness.

tucker carlson· antichrist· donald trump· bible· revelation

56:49 is milieu. Well she did a good job there so in the next clip he comes up with she and she's a reporter for the New York Times and so she reads it, she reads a quote from him that is written down word for word for word and he denies saying it. And so in the middle of this next clip, I could have divvied this up a little differently but right in the middle of the clip you'll hear slight different intonation and that's Tucker saying the quote From a, you know from some... On his podcast. Yeah they bring in a clip of him and then they go back to Tucker still denying it this is fascinating What I was saying which is you cannot mock other people's gods

57:39 and put yourself in their place. Period! That is a deal killer for me, that's worse than the war with Iran in my opinion. Yeah but I ask because you know you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist...I have not said that On your show the day after Easter you noted he did not put his hand on the Bible during his swearing-in ceremony as president You said and I'm quoting maybe he didn't put his hand on the Bible because he affirmatively rejects what's inside that book And then on a recent show you went further saying, here's a leader who is mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the god of gods and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? I actually did not say could this be the Antichrist Here is a leader who is mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of Gods and exalting himself above them

58:26 Could this be the Antichrist? Who knows. I don't know where that comes from, but those words never left my lips because... ...I'm not sure if fully understand what the Antichrist is if there's just one... I actually tried to understand it. I may have said some are asking that and I am not weighing in on that because I don't understand it. Wow! Interesting Okay, they have the exact quote that she reads and he denies it and says those words never left my lips And then they have of course they have the actual him actually saying it This is to me in indictment of what a phony this guy really must be well again What you hear him say? Is

59:10 I don't really know what the Antichrist is. And then he goes on with that bullcrap? Yeah, because he says these things with such authority and then when he's called on it He says well, I don't really know what the antichrist is and if there's just one or many of them and revelation you know personally I find his His so-called knowledge of scripture, extremely annoying because he does that all the time. Well the Bible says... I'm a Christian! It's how we do it! But on the other hand, I know that people have accused me of saying things like,

59:51 And then I go back and listen like, oh crap. I did kind of say that so... But yeah but it's good that you but that's different than someone a reporter confronting you with an exact quote Yeah, she says it was quoted. She said I'm quoting you and they read the quote at that point would you deny it? No, I'd be like what? I said that. It must have been high! I do something different than what Tucker did it never left my lips now it's possible that he was possessed and it wasn't his lips at the lips left from Yeah, it was the demon that damn demon that scratched him up The enemy, haha, that's where I go with it

CHAPTER 16 / 39 Discussion

Scott Bessent, Operation Economic Fury and Iran Sanctions

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent detailed "Operation Economic Fury," a maximum pressure campaign designed to collapse the Iranian economy. The strategy involved demonetizing Iranian debt, causing massive inflation and a 70% currency devaluation. Bessent reported that the U.S. has seized nearly half a billion dollars in crypto assets and is targeting "shadow fleet" oil tankers to stop Iran's funding of regional proxies.

scott bessent· treasury department· iran· opec· max pressure

1:00:32 Well, okay if he does that then I'd be backing off. Yeah, I give him a pass for that but... Alright over to General Patton on the down low. I've changed it. I kept hearing myself say gay General Patton and I didn't like it that much. I like general Patton on the down-low our treasurer secretary Scott Besant And he had this, he was on Kudlow's show which is pretty insufferable usually. Oh Kudlow! Kudlow always seems to be in the bag too He's in the bag for everything It doesn't...He's almost like a Kramer You know? Just a fox version of Kramer but

1:01:11 I like this because we got a little bit more of a timeline from Besant, and I have a couple clips here. Three clips. He was on for half an hour! It was really good when it comes to the coordination of Operation Epic Fury and Operation Economic Fury All right, Operation Economic Fury is helping to win the war. Coming from the Treasury Department we welcome back Treasury Secretary Mr Scott Best and Mr Secretary thank you for this I know your a very busy chap but you know your

1:01:47 Your Economic Fury is doing a lot and it's sort of offshore bank accounts and shipping issues. And I love this, the teapot refiners off the coast in China. Can you just tell us more about this because i think that this is going to be very powerful stuff and its already having an impact? Larry, good to be with you. And to be clear the president gave the operation... gave the order for max pressure campaign more than a year ago he gave it to me and Treasury last March it was that pressure that brought the Iranian economy to a standstill in December that led to the protest of the largest bank in Iran collapsed the central bank had demonetized

1:02:35 the debt and that created massive inflation. Their currency is down about 60 or 70% versus the US dollar, so they're in the middle of a currency crisis and what we're doing now is you know, we've been in a long race and we are sprinting for the finish line President Trump told me three weeks ago to up the pressure again and we have gone to uh... the buyers Iranian oil and told them that we are going we are willing to do secondary sanctions What you don't hear general Patton on the down-low say is BB netanyahu called me and said hey, I got a plan No this was well thought out And they they even thought out and I guess war game the whole

1:03:27 Riots! Like, this will get people to the streets when their money's not worth anything and they can't buy anything. And that was over a year ago Now, this second clip here is a little disappointing because they talk about crypto and it's very unclear whether is it Bitcoin? Is it Ethereum? Is it Stablecoin? I'm pretty sure it's mainly stable coin which also shows you how they will be willing to use stable coin in the future but it all falls under the heading of crypto. Seizing assets are you not That's right Larry. We were able to grab about 350 million crypto assets and then on top of another hundred that we had recently gotten so we're almost at half a billion there, and we are freezing bank accounts

1:04:20 everywhere more importantly we are making people less willing to deal with the regime and then so it's the economic fury along with the blockade because now The port at Karg Island is that a virtual standstill in terms of? Loadings, we think that the Iranian storage will be full soon. They'll have to start capping in their wells, which will lead to permanent problems. And again the regime won't be able to pay their soldiers and equally important Larry is they won't be able to fund their proxies whether it's Hezbollah Hamas

1:05:02 around the world because one of President Trump's goals in this was to stop Iran's ability to project terrorist power around the world. Iran was the largest sponsor of state terrorism around the world, they've been killing Americans for the past 47 years and that's coming to a stop now." My so okay crypto but this final clip This, I think shows the genius of what Besant was doing. And remember this guy worked for Soros he knows how the system works He knows how the money flows He understands finance Finance and this is how they decided to break up OPEC Two more things sir i know you're a busy chap but one is...I kind of love what you did with the UAE

CHAPTER 17 / 39 Discussion

UAE Dollar Swap Lines, OPEC Departure

The United Arab Emirates has secured dollar swap lines from the U.S. Treasury, signaling a move away from the petro-yuan and toward the dollar block. This financial alignment coincides with the UAE's decision to leave OPEC, which Bessent predicts will lead to lower global oil prices. The move is described as a strategic victory for the U.S. dollar system in the Middle East.

uae· opec· dollar swap lines· scott bessent· abraham accords

1:05:50 You gave them dollar swap lines. They weren't in trouble, but they're part of the dollar group now not the yuan or the petro-yuan group and they're leaving OPEC. They can produce a couple million barrels more per day from maybe two to 2 1⁄2 million to as much as 5 million. The UAE has chosen to side with the United States in the dollar block I think that's most significant Whatever you did, whatever you have up your sleeve Mr. Besson I think is a pretty clever play Look the UAE and several other Gulf countries

1:06:28 and some of our Asian allies have requested swap lines. And to be clear, Larry that a swap line is not a bailout. It is just a swap for US dollars for the local currency at a fixed price it's either done from the Fed or Treasury to the central bank the ironclad credit. These are some of the most liquid countries in the world and they just asked for the swap line as another layer of prevention and safety so we are happy to support our allies during this time, and you know that this is when during a conflict we stand by them

1:07:14 We show our support both militarily and economically. And the UAE has made the decision to get out of OPEC, which is why I'm confident that once we get on the other side of this conflict that we will see oil prices and gasoline prices lower than they were when the conflict began. If you look at the forward crude market it's telling you the same thing. They've basically chosen free markets over price controls and my guess, I don't know Venezuela Ecuador Nigeria they may follow suit the Abraham Accords may go a lot lower. The dollar system you've always been strong dollar guy that's why i think this is a great move I'm not sure people understand just how important this UAE thing is but I wanted to highlight it

CHAPTER 18 / 39 Discussion

China, Iranian Oil Trade and Shadow Fleets

China continues to purchase Iranian oil using the Renminbi to bypass U.S. dollar-based sanctions. These transactions are facilitated by a "shadow fleet" of tankers that operate outside of Western insurance and docking regulations. While the U.S. has begun sanctioning these private refineries, China has signaled it will not recognize the American restrictions.

china· iran· renminbi· shadow fleet· oil sanctions

1:08:02 I agree with Kudlow. I think this is a great move and you watch, you watch ships going straight to UAE they're all in the dollar system stay in the dollars You don't want that stable coin out Yeah That's why there's a drop line Those clips kind of since they talk about Iranian oil going to China have a China clip on this And I think it was an odd clip because their warning the Chinese public for some...I know what the public has got to do with this But play the China using Iran oil clip. Before the war, most of Iran's oil ended up at small private refineries in China ferried there by a so-called shadow fleet of ships which the U.S has also begun sanctioning and that oil trade the US has provided Iran's regime with much needed cash

1:09:08 US sanctions means those oil refineries in China will not be able to use the U.S dollar to do business or buy international insurance, or dock at Western ports but China settles most of its purchases with Iran in Chinese Renminbi and today's announcement that it will not recognize these American sanctions is a clear signal to ships carrying Iranian oil that the Chinese refiners would still be happy to receive their cargo Emily Fang NPR News I mean if Iran is receiving Remden-B, what are they gonna do with it? What are you gonna buy with that? Where do...I mean if you want some food. Buy Chinese missiles. Unless you buy...unless you...okay! Yeah that's about it. Why even bother with the money part just ship some missiles over oh because that's not that easy nah nah now The Shadow Fleet is real

1:10:05 That's for sure. You ever look at a world map of all the oil tankers in the ocean? Oh yeah, there are hundreds and hundreds... It is like millions! I don't know about millions but there are thousands. Hundreds, I'd say hundreds not thousands. I think there is at least 1000. What are you eating?! I'm having a lozenge. Okay, valid. So, I don't know. We can do that. We want to do some more oil and then you more oil, more oil. Yeah once they all get the old thing, they have to get the bug. Yeah then you won't even need or you won't even need Iranian oil like we got enough of this stuff is good yeah I can see it now Of course uh...we have some issues with a war or should we say its military operation? I'm not sure if we call it a war military operation

The Trump administration is defending its military actions in Iran by classifying them as a "military operation" rather than a formal war to avoid the 60-day deadline of the War Powers Resolution. Attorney Todd Blanche argued that the ongoing ceasefire paused the legal clock, despite criticism from Senator Susan Collins and other lawmakers. The administration maintains that the naval blockade of Iranian ports does not constitute an act of war requiring congressional approval.

1:11:14 Is it a war? I don't know what it's called anymore. Just an embargo, I don't know You say that you're not actively at war here is what President Trump had to say on Friday I want to play it for you get your reaction on the other side This is from this morning meet the press with Todd Blanche They don't like the word war and they call it a military operation because that way you don't have a war, you don't have legal problems. Is the president effectively arguing... If you don't call it a war, you don't have legal problems? He's talking about the War Powers Resolution. Yeah right. Because that way if you don't have a war, you don't have legal problems Is the president effectively arguing that he can avoid congressional approval by avoiding using the word war? He's not effectively arguing anything except that he is trying to keep this country safe. Oh, okay. All right, Todd Blanchard! Here's a good yes man. Let's go to NBC The war is now 60 days old an important marker A 1973 law requires the President

1:12:12 end military conflicts unless the commander in chief gets congressional approval to continue. The administration says the ongoing ceasefire paused that 60 day clock, Republican leadership agrees but Democrats and some Republicans say it's time Congress gets involved one GOP lawmaker says she plans to introduce an authorization for use of military force AUMF when the Senate returns. The president should have come to Congress before engaging in military action at this scale that we're seeing now and that regrettably did not happen. Iran essentially shut down the Strait of Hormuz when fighting started

1:12:51 Now, a new memo seen by NBC News shows the administration launching a new effort to get allies to reopen the waterway and get oil tankers moving. This as American drivers face surging gas prices with an average cost of a gallon now $4.39 but in many parts of the country it's even higher. 619 I'm not touching it. 40-50 bucks to fill my tank but now from empty It's $80 to 90. That forced drivers to find alternative ways of getting around. I just got a monthly bus pass. Kinda putting in that calculation how much this thing costs and how much it cost to drive every day, it just makes so much more sense as a college student just to do this. President Trump says he doesn't need congressional approval for the war. In letters to Congress today, he says the hostilities that began on February 28th terminated the day the ceasefire began last month

1:13:45 But he did not address the naval blockade on Iranian ports. That's not war, that's a blockade! Come on! Congress is flummoxed by this like well no one ever did this No one ever called us something else. I wait a minute Blanche Blanche Republican Senator Susan Collins posted quote the president's authority as commander-in-chief is not without limits That deadline is not a suggestion It is a requirement are there any legal limits on the president's powers to carry out the war with Iran? Suggesting that President Trump or this administration or the Department of War is violating the law. It's just completely wrong it's not appropriate to say that we are not we are complying with the law oh man he is a yes, man Don't answer the question just say it's inappropriate as wrong Axios reports per sources The plan set a one-month deadline for negotiations on a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and

Donald Trump, Iran Negotiations and Cuba Comments

President Trump discussed the possibility of a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while leaving the door open for further military strikes. Despite polling showing he is "underwater" on his handling of the conflict, Trump characterized the Iranian leadership as disjointed and weak. In a characteristic aside, he joked about "taking over" Cuba on the way back from the Iranian theater.

1:14:42 end the U.S. naval blockade, and permanently end the war in Iran and in Lebanon. Per the Iranian proposal only after such a deal is reached another month of negotiations would be launched to try and reach a deal on the nuclear program, the two sources said The president is leaving the door open for more strikes if a deal is not reached Yes We continue. This will go on, it'll be another month at least and ABC... well maybe if we just tell him that his numbers suck. In this new ABC News Washington Post Ipsos poll Trump is underwater on every single issue they tested with two-thirds of Americans saying the What if you're under water? What's the baseline for underwater?

1:15:25 I think 50%. Oh, okay. three quarters of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling the cost-of-living. Roughly two thirds disapprove on the economy, the issue that Trump campaigned on and a majority say using military force against Iran was a mistake, Gio. Mistake! It's big mistake! Uh huh. Big mistake! It's big mistake. And of course the president. Do you see

1:16:14 They must have tea with the president all the time, don't you think? He's definitely the number one go-to guy for the press corps. Oh yeah I mean he gets the questions ahead of time and then eat and i'm sure it's like make it sound good do see Different approach options what kind of option How would it look? Well, there are options. I mean do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish him forever or do we want to try and make a deal under those are the options Do you want to go blast the hell out of us? On a human basis that prefer not but that's the option so we wanna Go in there heavy and just blast him away Or do we want to do something they're a very disjointed uniship as you can understand Peter very disjointed I've been they

1:17:07 They're not getting along with each other and it puts us in a bad position. One group wants to make a certain deal, the other group wants to make a certain deal including the hardliners. The hard liners want to make a deal too why wouldn't they? They have no Navy, they have no airports, they have no anti-aircrafts, they have...they have know nothing. Something about a New Yorker saying they have known nothing It's just great. They have no nothing, but on the way back when we're done with Iran which I think will probably be in about 45 days when we're done with Iran We're gonna swing by Cuba Thank You Dan good job

1:17:46 An architect who's really talented, he's done a lot of work for me. He's got a flair, beautiful Hispanic flair in particular and he comes from originally a place called Cuba. Which we will be taking over almost immediately. No, Cuba has got problems We'll finish one first. I like to finish a job on the way back from what we'll do it on the way back from Iran will have one of our big maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world will have that come in stop about 100 yards offshore and they'll say thank you very much.

Donald Trump, Ilhan Omar and Somalia Critique

During a public appearance, President Trump delivered a scathing critique of Representative Ilhan Omar and her home country of Somalia. He described Somalia as a place of crime and filth, questioning why Omar should tell the United States how to run its government. Trump also repeated unverified claims regarding Omar's marriage history, framing the commentary in a stand-up comedy style.

donald trump· ilhan omar· somalia· immigration· stand-up comedy

1:18:30 People get so disjointed over these jokes. Seriously, I see it in the troll room. He's laughing about murdering people! Get a grip on your pearls and this was a gem about Elon Omar This is your president in true stand-up form. But JG's done a great job, thousands and thousands of people are... It's a fraud I mean look at the wonderful country it's a beautiful country you should try it sometime Somalia it's a beautiful place It's got no government has got no military it's got no anything it's got one thing that's really strong crime it's got a lot of crime they have no police

1:19:16 All they do is run around shooting each other. It's filthy, dirty, disgusting dirty... it's a horrible place They come here and Ilhan Omar You ever hear of him? Very popular She heads it And think of it They have nothing but crime poverty pollution everything is horrible over there Nothing good They say it's the worst country anywhere in the world, that we got some beauties out there but it's the worst. And then she comes here from Somalia and she tells us how to run The United States of America She says...she says the Constitution gives me certain rights Gives me certain rights? I demand that I be given these rights Get the hell out! What a phony

1:20:15 And then she married her brother to come in. I don't know, you know? But i think...I would imagine they're looking at her. I have nothing to do with it! I would imagine of course I have nothing to do. I have nothing but.. I believe she married her brother which is totally illegal although it's a lovely couple actually but it's a little bit on the illegal side darling I love you very much good night brother let's go to bed Isn't she despicable? I can't stand watching. Oh, i'm gonna miss him! Yeah, I think it's funny... So many people get so upset about this. Yeah yeah this was unexpected and you know nobody knows what to make of it It's okay if you're upset about it and I'm okay with that And I'm okay with you being upset about it but not if you're on SSRIs

Google, Pentagon AI Contract for Classified Work

Google has joined OpenAI and XAI in signing a deal with the U.S. Department of Defense to provide AI models for classified mission planning and weapons targeting. The agreement allows the Pentagon to adjust safety filters and settings at the government's request. Google maintains that the AI will not be used for autonomous weaponry or domestic mass surveillance without human oversight.

1:29:37 Uh, let's see. Um... Let's do a little, uh... Big Tech AI News. Always fun. A little big tech- Oh, AI news! Ha ha, AI news. Yes everyone is joining in now. Everyone is like we're good. Hey man, we're good you can use our stuff let's do war with our stuff because it so solid Alphabet's Google has reportedly joined a list of tech firms to sign a deal with the US Department Of Defense It's to use its AI models for classified work The Information reported the deal on Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the matter. It added the agreement allows the Pentagon to use Google's AI for any lawful government purpose and puts it alongside OpenAI and Elon Musk's XAI which also have deals to supply AI models for classified use

1:30:29 Classified networks are used to handle a wide range of sensitive work. They include mission planning and weapons targeting." Reuters couldn't verify the report. The Pentagon signed agreements worth up to $200 million, each with major AI labs last year including Anthropic OpenAI and Google. Reuters had earlier reported the Pentagon wanted top AI companies to make their tools available on classified networks without the standard restrictions they apply to users. The information reported Google's agreement requires it help in adjusting the company's AI safety settings and filters at the government's request

1:31:08 Alphabet and the US Department of Defense, which has now been renamed the Department of War by President Trump didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Google said it supports government agencies across both classified and non-classified projects and added it was committed to the consensus AI shouldn't be used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weaponry without appropriate human oversight. The Pentagon has said it has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans or to develop weapons that operate without human involvement but wants any lawful use of AI to be allowed. I like the, uh... We don't need your A.I for mass surveillance we just buy it from Google! We don't need to spend money on you guys for that yeah That's stuff i have to say now For certain things this stuff is really really impressive although Dave Jones over there podcast index

1:32:06 He and I have been doing comparisons, and if you use Claude code with Opus 4.7 which will cost... If you want to get anything done $100 a month if you really are using it a lot $200 a month was a lot of money he's using Pi, P-I, pi.dev which is an agentic thing And you can connect that to any large language model. And he has at his job, a $3500 machine I forget what it calls but it has all the RAM and everything in it that you need and is running Quen 3.6 35 billion parameter It's equal! Equal to Claude Code with Anthropx Opus 4.7 Except you don't have to pay a subscription

Anthropic Valuation, AI Market Bubble Concerns

AI startup Anthropic is reportedly in talks to raise capital at a valuation of $900 billion, potentially surpassing rival OpenAI. Despite exploding revenue growth, skeptics point to a lack of actual profit and a potential market collapse in 2027. Both companies are looking to go public by the end of the year, depending on market conditions and investor appetite.

1:32:57 You gotta shell out some money up front. So when you hear the next clip, these guys are gonna run into trouble or the investors will run into trouble somewhere down the road." And it's been a tough week for OpenAI reports of missing key targets Sam Altman on trial against Elon Musk and now rival Anthropics business may have caught up Kate Rooney has more in Tech Check Hi Kate Hi Kelly, so that's what we're hearing. I am hearing that Anthropic right now is in talks to raise another round of of capital. If it does go forward as planned, it could value this AI giant at as much as $900 billion dollars according to a source familiar with those deal talks Kelly no term sheets have been signed yet from what I'm told discussions are still ongoing and Anthropic did decline to comment but this would be more than double the company's last valuation in private markets and then put it ahead of rival OpenAI which

1:33:53 was last worth around $850 billion dollars that was after its record fundraiser earlier this year. It does come as both of these AI giants look to go public as soon at the end of this year according to sources, could depend on market conditions but Anthropx exploding revenue growth has been the main reason investors have been lining up to back them. So Anthropx last reported run rate was around 30 billion dollars, sources now tell me that is closer to 35 billion it would be up from 10 billion just last year so Claude Cote has been the major revenue driver here for this company also a lot of intrigue around Mythos this of course is the cyber security model got a lot of buzz it's now only available to select companies but

1:34:33 But it's really added to the allure for investors when we talk about the potential power of these models. In the last hour though, Entropic did make another move in a cyber security space that launched Cloud Security this is just for enterprise customers company says it's going to be giving security teams away to find vulnerabilities hundreds of organizations they say have already used it but It is not Mythos This is a model thats already publicly available Kelly Yeah...this is not gonna end well There's too much money and no money coming in. What makes you think that? I can do math, I can calculate this is not gonna work out well but maybe after the midterms somethings gotta...I mean how much longer can these guys delay their IPO they have to come out soon it has to be sooner than later yeah do you think it'll be before the midterms

1:35:30 Well, it may be before the midterms but it's not gonna... The collapse won't be before the midterms. Will the collapse be in 2027 you think? Early 2020? It's gotta be next year! Yeah that's gonna be so amazing to watch I mean it'll suck but it'll be good for the donations of this show. No! You have enough trouble Could it get any worse?! Alright, now the people who clearly are going to lose out are Hollywood. Hollywood is just struggling they are struggling to hold on

Academy Awards, AI Acting and Screenplay Rules

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences established new rules stating that only human-performed roles and human-authored screenplays are eligible for Oscars. This follows the unveiling of an AI-rendered performance of the late Val Kilmer at CinemaCon. The film community remains divided on the ethics of using archival footage to recreate deceased stars for new productions.

1:36:07 and the Oscars, who are going to YouTube. They put their foot down! Artificial intelligence could revolutionize the film industry but it won't be winning any Oscars New rules set out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences on Friday stated that... In the acting category only roles credited in the films legal billing and demonstrably performed by humans with their consent will be considered eligible The new rules also say screenplays must be human-authored to be eligible. They come hot on the heels of the unveiling of an AI version of the deceased film star Val Kilmer at CinemaCon, a yearly event that showcases new films for cinema owners. The producer of the film called as deep is the grave explained We do take archival footage pictures and voice recordings to build a character And from there we have to integrate that character into what we already filmed. We're making a bold claim, bold statement which is

1:37:09 We believe we're doing this in an ethical way. The director of the film was at pains to reassure both actors and the wider film community. Actors are not going to be replaced, and we're gonna make sure that doesn't happen. And that really comes down to the entire community coming together... ...to help set these guidelines and guardrails for everybody so we can follow a structure because technology is gonna be here no matter what we do The Academy declined to comment on if Val Kilmer's AI rendered performance would be eligible for an Oscar, saying that eligibility would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. I think we should make a pact. You know if I die before you... ...I fully endorse recreating me with AI. Okay, you're done. Tourettes and all! Make sure it's all in there. Make sure it's accurate. Darren can do it. He's prompting as we speak

1:38:01 Darren's got all these little, he doesn't get a lot of play but I've been reposting the little animations he's been doing. Yeah! With the girls? Pretty dynamite. Yeah, there's always some girl. He's got a cartoon version now which was pretty decent although for some reason the no agenda shirt on one girl turned from black to green right in the middle of the animation. Oh well! How does that happen? You can't iterate it once it's done you see you gotta accept it or re-prompt and just get a whole new version. Yeah he might as well just go with it

1:38:37 But yeah, the Val Kilmer thing is one. But Star Wars had a or was either Star Wars or an old Star Trek movie had some there's a dead actor but they had to bring him into This was years ago. They had to bring in a kind of model of him because he was necessary for the storyline and it wasn't even alive, and they put it in nobody ever talked much about it. Oh that's great! And then there was the movie this Scorsese movie where they had De Niro and all these people 20 year younger ages were younger yeah they're all basically masked now but this is about money just about money

SAG-AFTRA, Hollywood AI Protections Agreement

SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative agreement with major Hollywood studios, securing protections against the unauthorized use of AI likenesses. The deal follows a similar four-year contract signed by the Writers Guild of America, which included a significant infusion into the union's health fund. Industry workers remain concerned that the rapid advancement of technology may still outpace the protections provided in these multi-year contracts.

1:39:18 You know, I say now as I speak you may recreate me when i'm gone and make money off of me. Please! Well yeah we'll see what happens with the Currie Estate. The Currie Estate? Yeah the Currie Estate... We're pissed off okay Here's SAG-AFTRA to round this out. Looks like Dave, this is the writers and the screen actors guild but not everybody is here I don't think the directors guild is set yet We are following developing news now SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative agreement with major Hollywood studios avoiding a repeat of strikes from just three years ago NBC4's Macy Jenkins is live outside By the way, The Troll Room was asking can we do it now?

1:40:07 Well, under... I'd have to approve it now. If you can do it now we can split the process It won't be as good Well if it is? It won't be as good Come on Okay Hi, Kathy and Jonathan. Well listen we will not know what's in that agreement until the SAG National Board has a chance to review it one of the biggest issues just like it was three years ago protections against AI which is getting smarter and more advanced This cinematic showdown between Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise drew

1:40:47 millions of views on social media earlier this year. And harsh critiques because this is completely AI generated. They're taking the likeness of major performers like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and they're just able to replicate it in seconds. It's a major concern for SAG-AFTRA actors like Chuck Slavin one he hopes is addressed in the tentative agreement reached Saturday between SAG and the AMPTP, The Alliance Of Motion Picture And Television Producers Well, I have to tell you a little concern. Overall, I think the future is rapidly changing and I think that we certainly need to protect image likeness when it comes to AI. We need to ensure that members get royalties and residuals on the work they're doing. Scanning is a major threat. A tentative deal avoids a repeat of 2023 when SAG-AFTRA's 160,000 plus member went on strike for four months demanding fair pay and protections against AI stealing their livelihood

1:41:43 It comes just one month after the Writers Guild of America reached a four-year deal with the AMPTP. Historically, these contracts have been three year deals but in exchange for adding the fourth year in the WGA's recent agreement The union received a $321 million infusion into its health fund Looking at how fast technology is advancing A four-year deal locks us into a disadvantage So you all consider home being sick? Well that's great No, Hollywood loses. They lose... they lose. That's just the way it is. Well you gotta lose for sure. Yeah but they've already kind of lost I mean they have no stories everything is a sequel what is that? What is the new sequel coming out something another new sequel everything's a sequel yeah everything they ran out of ideas

1:42:35 No, I did happen. How did that happen? Let me ask you how did that happen it has never happened before they were making movies back in the silent era In the 20s and 30s there were all kinds of great movies at 40s great movie 50s Great movies set 60s and 70s especially the 70s tremendous films what happened too many movies being made There's not enough not enough. They're not doing a bit. I wouldn't say there's a ton of them being made now are their Oh yeah, I think it's a short... Yeah no they're going straight to Netflix in eight you know mini movies. You're right that's where that goes. Tons of crappy movies on Netflix. Where it should be an hour and a half movie then turn into eight hours and call it a series And then if it gets enough then they'll do another series We are due for another Blair Witch Project one of those deals

Jeffrey Epstein, Alleged Suicide Note Discovery

The New York Times is petitioning a federal court to unseal an alleged suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein before his death in 2019. The note was reportedly discovered by Epstein's cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, tucked inside a graphic novel. While the DOJ has not authenticated the note, it has remained under seal in a vault as part of Tartaglione's separate criminal proceedings.

1:43:29 Some kids come along and do something that blows everybody away. You're a cheap yeah, yeah That's gonna happen what do you make of the this Epstein suicide note? Well here's a clip no hold on second Here we go. I got it. New Tonight did accuse sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein write a suicide note before attempting to take his own life, the New York Times reporting that a note may exist and is being held under seal by a federal judge. Epstein allegedly writing It's time to say goodbye according to this man convicted murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, a former NYPD officer who shared a cell with Epstein in 2019

1:44:08 Tartaglione said something similar in a podcast last year. Jeffrey Epstein wrote a suicide note He says he discovered the note after Epstein's apparent suicide attempt weeks before his actual death It was in my book, yeah when I got back into the cell and opened my book to read there it was Tartaglione adding, it said something like FBI looked into me for months and found nothing. NBC News has not seen the note and The Times says it has not either in a statement the DOJ says it is hard to comment on a note It has not seen adding the department underwent an exhaustive effort to collect all records

1:44:47 Epstein's death, which the medical examiner's office declared a suicide has been the subject of intense scrutiny with many speculating without proof that Epstein was murdered. A suicide note could potentially dispel the conspiracies. The New York Times is asking the federal court to unseal the alleged suicide note which is caught up in Chartaglione legal proceeding. The times are arguing he talked about the note in that podcast and public interest in Epstein is immense I got an interview with Steve Eder. He's the one of the reporters on the byline for that story about The Note, he was on CNN listening to this Now The Times reports that the alleged suicide note was sealed by a federal judge as part of the Cellmates criminal case

1:45:32 My source on this tonight is on the byline of this story, the investigative reporter for The New York Times Steve Eder. And thank you sir for being here because I want to start with how this possible note was recovered and the cellmate apparently says he found a note in his cell tucked into a graphic novel How did it end up locked away by a judge? What's a graphic novel, is that a comic book? Yeah. It takes a circuitous path I guess to being locked away from a judge but basically the short of it is that the cellmate says he discovered the note in the days after Epstein was found injured in his cell and he turned it over to his lawyers

1:46:10 His lawyers, apparently according to a document that we reviewed tried to authenticate it. Weren't able to right away and then it ended up being moved over to his criminal case not the Epstein case but this other case that was playing out kind of parallel and ended up sort of sequestered from the Epstein proceedings in this whole other separate case for years now And in that case the judge put the letter this purported note under seal If you're interested, I have another clip that explains the process of how it got under seal. Yes please!

1:46:48 Why is it locked up in a courthouse? Like why wasn't it released as part of the Epstein document? Yes, so even before that John good morning to you. I think it's important to discuss whether its authentic or not. I want to get to that but just tell me why it's locked up first. So what happened this is that it was under seal and apparently judges have vast discretion with respect to whether they're putting something on under seal which means in the public's view. It is not in the court records if you go and right now we have a system uh, in federal courts state court two where you can literally go into the docket and look at it variety of materials well there are some materials that are sensitive that are not going to be in that docket

1:47:24 because a judge in that judge's discretion will seal it. That is what they did here, remember this involves Tartaglione who is he? He was the person convicted, he was Jeffrey Epstein cellmate and he ultimately was convicted for four quadruple murder and as result of that sharing a cell he purportedly, Mr.Tartaglione found the note reported to his lawyers, he had about 18 of them by the way over the course time and they got involved the lawyers did with respect hey what should we do with the note how do we authenticate the note should be put to know on the seal it became a subject of a lot of controversy attorneys argued was attorney-client privilege incident today communications in them seeking advice and will jeffrey have seen claim that

1:48:06 I actually, Tartaglione his cellmate killed him or tried to kill him and so what do we do? And so the judge ultimately said it's going to be away from public view. It's going to be in a vault in the federal courthouse and it has remained there for all this time. Basically a judge has under his purview right now involved in a separate case which is why he was not part of the Epstein files per se and the source here this is from a cell mate charged with Four murders, quadruple murder. Who said he found the note and is the only person we know so far to tell us what was on it time to say goodbye? So the credibility of the source... Yeah John I think that's important to talk about and at the time he was being charged now He's convicted any serving these four life sentences

1:48:51 And so you have to question what we call the veracity. Is it something that we could credit the fact that he said it? That I found this note, It said time to say goodbye and had a smiley face What am I going to do now burst out in tears They've done nothing meaning indicating what was on that particular note Well, I don't think this means very much. It's interesting though how that happened Yeah, well just kind of fascinating I guess I didn't realize it So easy to ditch stuff There's another, um... Man you predicted this so early on. About parents getting uh...

Parental Liability, Orange County E-Motorcycle Fatality

Tammy Jo Mayher faces involuntary manslaughter charges in Orange County after her 14-year-old son struck and killed an 81-year-old teacher while riding an illegal e-motorcycle. Prosecutors allege Mayher ignored previous police warnings and attempted to conceal her son to avoid arrest. The case highlights a growing trend of holding parents legally responsible for the criminal actions of their children.

1:49:31 sued. Getting locked up for their children's crimes? Yeah, well it hasn't really caught on yet to an extreme. Well no it's catching! A beloved Vietnam War veteran and teacher has died two weeks after he was allegedly hit by a teen on an e-motorcycle Now the teens mother is facing manslaughter charges CBS LA's Nicole Comstock with the charges and the heartbreak from friends of the victim After a two week long fight for his life, treasured Vietnam veteran and Orange County teacher Ed Ashman has died. This after prosecutors say of 14 year old boy illegally riding a powerful e-motorcycle hit Ashman while he was walking home from school and left him in the street.

1:50:18 was 81 and I didn't want to see him go out like that. His longtime friends and neighbors say after serving our country with honor as a fighter pilot, then dedicating his golden years to mentoring the next generation at El Toro High School it's a shame that a young teens actions allegedly led to his death in the Vietnam War He went through that and then this happened. The boy's mom, Tammy Jo Mayher has now been charged with involuntary manslaughter the new felony complaint alleges she was also an accessory after the fact harboring in concealing her son so he could avoid arrest and punishment police say they already told the boys mother a year ago on body worn camera that she could face criminal charges for continuing to allow her son to ride the e-motorcycle That requires a driver's license

1:51:07 Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer says in writing this mother essentially handed her 14 year old son a deadly weapon and despite multiple warnings on the dangers continued to let him illegally ride. Hmm well they get this kind of an open-and-shut case is little more easier to push than someone who's just a careless parent lets their kid go wild. Well Let me ask a question for Darren O'Neill. He keeps track of the murders and shootings in Chicago How many parents of those kids, because a lot more kids do you ever hear in the story like this?

Ukraine has been ramping up its drone capabilities and response to Russia's relentless aerial attacks and increasingly taking the fight back across the border officials said today Ukrainian forces can now strike much deeper inside Russia then they could at the start of

1:56:24 Earlier this month, Moscow accused European nations of expanding drone support to Kiev. Prompting a warning today from Russia's defense minister. This sort of action facilitates the sharp escalation of the military and political situation across the entire European continent and can have unpredictable consequences Just yesterday, Poland's Prime Minister announced that his country will partner with Ukraine to manufacture what he described as a drone armada. Poland and Russia share a border and Russia has violated Polish airspace on a number of occasions since the Ukraine war started. 33, that is the magic number. It is! It is the magic number

The U.S State Department is rolling out a new limited edition passport that includes a picture of President Trump, the state department posted what it called a sneak peek on social media It shows the president's image on the inside cover with his signature in gold lettering at the bottom The back cover shows a more traditional scene of the Declaration of Independence The release is part of the commemorations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence

1:57:58 It's also the latest effort to put Mr. Trump's mark on the nation, which includes his images on government buildings, his name and what was the Kennedy Center and a planned arch in Washington among others. Yeah this is an obvious collectible I feel the same way i want to get one too because my passport expired Oh my You should get on that right away. You can do that now? Well, no you don't want to get on it right away because it hasn't been released yet It's coming out in the summer and is only gonna be a limited edition I believe of 50 thousand So you're gonna have to get in at the right moment so I got a note from The State Department they send out emails now and they say hey you can renew online This is crazy! Make your own passport picture

1:58:47 And they show you how to do it? Yeah, I did that with my passport already years ago. Decades ago. Do you remember... decades ago! Do you remember?! You used have to go to a special photographer He had to have special film A special backdrop It was all special-special-special Special dude Special shop They had to wait and develop it in the darkroom It used be very complicated Now you can just take your own picture and submit it This was years ago. The last two passports I've had, I took my own picture with a digital camera at the right against the blank wall cut it out and submitted it went in the passport just fine Well this isn't new When I renewed mine which was seven years ago for some reason got a seven-year passport I don't know why

1:59:42 Maybe it was 10 years, 9 years ago. It couldn't do it that wasn't I don't know how you got to do that but there wasn't an offer for me to do that online with my own... I just did it! Just now you said? You just did it?! Did you do it with your phone in the drawer with that one?? No, I used a good quality camera. Oh okay! And had a perfect background it was exactly the same as you get. I had Jay or somebody take my picture and do two or three times and took the best one cut it into the exact right size that blew it up to the right size printed it out myself yeah and then cut up cut it into a square and he submitted it and went right through then this is like I said at least two passports ago huh

Counterfeit Trump Currency, Bank Deposit Incident

During a deposit of funds collected at a local meetup, a bank manager discovered two counterfeit $100 bills featuring Donald Trump's face. The bills were mixed in with legitimate currency donated by attendees. The hosts find the incident humorous, noting that the back of the bills appeared normal enough to pass a quick count.

2:01:23 You know, which was here at J6 or Jenny's place and people were very kind in donating on the spot. And so we counted you know we count out the money and then we send you the check because we do that all officially We don't want it to... There is nothing It is all above board, we pay our taxes Yeah, we pay taxes Too many taxes So Tina I'm usually like just keep the cash around Tina is like now take it to bank We take it to the bank And, you know like there may be six $100 bills. And the bank manager's like... Do you realize that these are not all real? I'm like what?! You had six counterfeit bills!? No! Two were hundred dollar bills with Trump on it. Someone handed off phony Trump Hundys

2:02:21 Oh brother. I thought it was pretty funny! Like, oh i'm sorry...I didn't mean to try and scam you Mr Bank. You didn't notice this? No no we didn't notice it counting because the back that just looks normal but you look at the front like well this Trump that can't be a real hundred dollar bill. That's hilarious That was a good guy. Hello, can you cash this bill with Trump's picture? Whoever did that...good work! Hand in your night ring! Hey with that I want to thank you for your courage.

Podcasting 2.0, No Agenda Art Generator

The hosts discuss the technical evolution of Podcasting 2.0, emphasizing the speed and decentralization of the new system. They review listener-submitted artwork for the episode, including a piece by Blue Acorn that references 1980s computing and the "Flying Toasters" screensaver. The segment reinforces the "Value for Value" model as the sustainable future for independent media.

podcasting 2.0· value for value· blue acorn· flying toasters· seagate

2:03:12 Good morning to you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots on ground feeding the air subs and one of the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room let me count ya'll, here we go! Yeah, away we go! 1,589 trolls listening live to the livestream which means someone's interested in what we have to say and we like that For those of you who stuck with us since the beginning of this program, this is where you return the value you receive from this show. You send us emails about it, you let us know about it in person now make it come true! Value for value there's no ads there's no subscriptions nothing's mandatory no hoops no jumps no tote bags although we used to have tote bags but they were toxic from China so we got rid of those

2:03:57 We're gonna kill people. Remember those tote bags we had? Oh yeah, the ones that stunk from coal tar! It was some kind of toxic chemical it never worked out Time, talent and treasure. That is exactly what we ask for by the way you should be listening to us in a modern podcast app We certainly hope that you are because that way when we go live You get the automatic bat signal which tells you were live and in the actual podcast app just like a radio receiver you can then listen to us live And in fact a lot of the different no agenda shows all use this live stream capability and it'll all give you an alert, and then you can listen to it live in your podcast app. But maybe just as important one of the 28 2728 new features that we've added to podcasting part of the podcasts index dot org and podcasting 2.0 is the fact that within 90 seconds of updating our podcasts, you will get the alert and will be on your device no more waiting on these legacy apps just don't wait for it

2:04:56 So, Value for Value you can support us in many different ways. Time, talent and treasure we always appreciate people doing things boots on the ground helping us with clips with ideas with your expertise everyone's an expert in something and when it comes around when it's your time it's your responsibility to let us know exactly what we got wrong or to set us right before we even get started on some topic And of course we also appreciate people who do artwork for us, which is increasingly easier. But is it really? I think the competition's gotten harder. People are doing more... they're getting more into the finesse of prompting. The same with the end-of-show mixes. I think we have three great ones again today. Do you like the one about you? Did you hear that one about your open heart surgery? Yeah, the one I liked best was the heavy metal one about the show. Yeah, but second was good too John!

2:05:53 I mean you just don't like the first one the most. Okay, well and I asked the guy so what are you using Sunos? Yeah i'm using Suno's So people are getting better at this prompting business and that goes for Blue Acorn Who just had a good idea And we have a good idea and you can implement that it just works It doesn't matter what tools you use as far as I'm concerned This was the artwork for episode 1864 We titled that point cast A lot of people enjoyed us talking about the old computer days. About point... A lot of people. Yes, I got a lot of notes about it! Hey, they remember the good ol' days? No, it was young people who could not believe We had processor technology with a North Star Drive Wow! A North Star Drive now that's a blast from the past Seagate baby, Seagate

2:06:50 Blue Acorn made us a beautiful piece of art. It was soft-sectored, not hard-sectored! Back when floppy disks were floppy... actually floppy This was the young ladies on the beach spelling out 8008 A classic calculator joke from the days of Seagate Floppy... Seagate Drives and Floppy Disks a boob donation number and nicely slipped in there little Nick the rat on the beach, little rat. Little rat on the beach. Yeah, it was nice. So it was a good piece we both liked it We looked at a couple other things we look at no agenda art generator comm that's where everybody could participate Everybody can upload their work We use it in other things as well not just the the art and album art for the show which is critical to us but also for newsletters and for

2:07:50 comic strip blogger. I saw that, so uh... No CSV just no Talking about a blast from the past next to the seashells was The Flying Toasters Yeah to me that i liked The Flying Toaster one but I thought it was good I want to mention The Flying Toasters the people that did The Flying Toasters are in Berkeley yeah That's the company that became moveon.org No! What? How did they go from flying toaster screensavers to move on dot org They did, they just did Wow Interesting Little tidbit for you That's a pivot Yeah no kidding Honorary mention to Nesworks

2:08:41 It was a little discombobulated, but I like the fact that he did this art with old school tools. 86'ing the M5M and kicking some seashells. It wasn't quite there we liked it but just wasn't quite there Very disturbing what people or what the LLMs think you should look like with baby in the bypass the new podcast. Yeah Apparently bald Garrett Lee, you're dead. You're basically dead I didn't lie even I didn't like that Still thought the BB on the beach is funny but we never use that one no, it's never gonna happen It still gives me a chuckle looking at it

2:09:26 I think that would be a lot of different shit. We've done shell art before when this thing came around the first time and Just looking at what's here There's plenty of you guys still got plenty of chances to become the artwork for episode 1865 no agenda ArtGenerator comm and now we thank the Producers who supported us financially, which is critical to our operation You can go to noagendadonations.com and you can support us there any amount, anytime you feel like it just anyway you want to do it It's all good but we do need yous to do it And we start off with Jason Peterson

Tip of the Day, Ventoy Bootable USB Software

The "Tip of the Day" features Ventoy, an open-source tool used to create bootable USB drives for ISO files. The software allows users to carry their entire operating system on a thumb drive, which can be used on different computers without installation. The hosts discuss practical applications for the tool, such as maintaining a secure "secret system" or a backup show production environment.

2:31:27 And we have John's tip of the day coming up along with three dynamite end-of-show mixes. You will love that before we do anything though, We need to select our end-of-show ISO. We've kind of forgotten why we do it but it is kinda fun because we get to select odd things that are short and play at the very end of the show It's a 3 for 3 today So I'll go first cause you always think you have something better than me I went to The Well for this one Easy, obviously. We have this one... Props to them! And... That's it! Oh that's no good. That's actually pretty good. Okay I got three. Let's start with crazy. Crazy? These are crazy people. Yeah. These are crazy people It's alright. I could use it in a pinch Amazing Another great show amazing

2:32:25 I have to stop it there because there's like seven seconds left, so... You didn't cut that one right. We can use that one, I'm fine with that. Let me hear the boobs. She doesn't sound very amazed but okay. No okay, boobs If you like boobs donate to no agenda Okay that's clearly the one and again there is like 16 seconds left Well I tried it...I don't understand why i am screwing this up? You are screwing it up! But you can make up for it with another dynamite tip of the day Great advice for you and me, just a tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. If anybody has any Tip of the Day ideas just send them with the subject line Tip Of The Day which is exactly what Commodore Cermec did.

2:33:14 With this pretty good tip, I checked it out. It's a software product called Ventoy. It's one of the big...I've seen these things before and I've used them. This one here seems to be pretty damn good. How do you spell Ventoy? V-E-N-T-O-Y And its ventoy dot net. Right? Yeah. Ventoy dot net. This allows you to create bootable USBs Which can come in quite handy if you're on the road and you just take your whole system and make a bootable USB, stick it in someone's computer... And blow it up. Change the boot order and boom! You got your whole system booting from the USB drive. It works well. So what's wrong with just taking your computer?

2:34:04 What if you got a big giant desktop piece of, just I don't know. In my case I could do that because it's hauling around these nooks these little bitty things but no! You don't want to or say you have work office and you wanna do it, you have home office and the office computer and there is a big clunker and its company thing, it's not laptop yeah there are plenty Reasons you want a bootable USB or we say you got a secret system. You get a bunch of Stuff, you don't want people looking at hmm Well I'll be honest. I always have a bootable USB of Oh Marchi Linux I carry that with me just in case I need to set up a whole new show and

2:34:53 Like a whole new show system. Yeah, but that would be pretty much really the end of everything if I had to resort to that. That'd be pretty bad. Anyway, it uses just an ISO file. Create an ISO file drop it on here and it all works well. Alright check it out! Please everybody who's gonna do that raise your hand without talking Find them all at tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com I got more pleasure out of your
