00:00 Flying saucers? Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday May 21st 2026 this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1870 This is no agenda Sniffing out the new strain and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA Region Number 6 In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Refinery Row where there's no Ebola I'm John C. Dvorak Yeah, that's what you think but it's coming. Ebola is coming everywhere It's coming it's coming I wanted to do something we haven't done in a while if that's okay flying saucers No We used to do this If I think you used to do it

00:53 But I figured, I'd do it now. Let's listen to the headlines as brought to us by David Muir... ...to tease the wonderful world we live in and then wonder why people don't feel good about themselves. several breaking stories the two teenagers in body armor allegedly charging into that Islamic Center and did New York City tonight the woman who plunged into a searing manhole a witness screaming I'm dying first tonight the breaking developments late today police revealing it was too heavily armed teenagers and body armor carrying shotguns rifles and handguns into that Islamic Center children not far away the security guard who took

01:30 them on. Wait, stop it! What? I'm the playa dude?! You gotta start it over. Why? Didn't he start off with the Muslim thing and then he jumped to the woman falling in a manhole and goes back to the other headline? Hey man, he's gonna make you feel like crap that is his job but I've never heard this before where they've gone from topic to new topic too old topic Well now that you mention it. Unless I misheard something? Well let's listen again. ... several breaking stories the two teenagers in body armor allegedly charging into that Islamic center and in New York City tonight the woman who plunged into a searing manhole, a witness saying she was screaming I'm dying first tonight The Breaking Development... Okay so he's teasing the top 2 stories which is teenagers

02:17 killing Muslims, then the woman falling into a searing manhole. Not just the manhole, a searing manhole unless that's something I'm not aware of and then he goes into the rundown but the rundown includes includes a lot more. I think we're spending too much time on it. Well first of all I think that's bad form, but okay. Just let it play out, i'm not going to interrupt anymore. I'm not saying I disagree...I agree its bad form. And in New York City tonight, the woman who plunged into a searing manhole. A witness saying she was screaming I'm dying. First tonight the breaking developments late today police revealing it was two heavily armed teenagers and body armor carrying shotguns rifles and handguns into that Islamic center children not far away the security guard who took

03:11 them on. In New York City, the horrific and deadly scene in midtown Manhattan a woman opening her car door and disappearing down an open manhole falling into the intense heat below the street service how this happened? Tonight the tornadoes touching down damaging winds and severe storms set to hit again this evening records broken in Philadelphia, intense heat in New York City and Boston. Ginger Zee is here alarming news tonight about the deadly Ebola outbreak an American doctor infected now race to another country for emergency help that cases now spiking Tonight, the extraordinary order from the Justice Department barring the IRS from investigating President Trump his sons and their companies and their taxes. Tonight, a murder case in the Northeast A man convicted of killing his brother and his brother's wife and children setting their home on fire then setting his own home on fire His family inside to make it look like the whole family had been targeted

04:07 what the judge has now decided. Tonight's major primaries being watched in this country, President Trump taking aim at one of his top political targets Republican Congressman Thomas Massey. I'm telling you they had to dig deep to get the guy who burned the family. Hey we need more horrible things for the tease David wants more horrible things give him more horrible things to talk about Well, you know if you're gonna play the technique here it should be to play now. You should play Tom Yamas's version of the same thing and I think that NBC because i've been I was thinking about this earlier too These these openers and I said I think nbc does the best job

04:51 I think NBC is the leader in the news business. I think Tom Yamas does a terrific job and i think they're opening teases superior to ABC's. I will make sure I have one on Sunday! I'll make sure that we have the Superior Tease, in fact from now on it'l be known as The Superior Tease from Tom Yamas You're probably right. But this was, you know... This was good! Because for one thing he repeats himself here on two stories I know He brings in the Muslims he brings in the woman falling into a hole then he brings back the Muslims and brings back the woman falling into a hole Do you think? And then it goes to tornadoes Just throws her in a tornado do you think uh.. The woman was on our phone Yeah probably I just have a thought but I didn't know there were that many manholes that close of the curb

05:42 Well, I remember living in New York you'd have these manholes covers that were just steaming and smoke or steam arising. And from time to time we had the exploding manholes. I'm sure we heard a couple stories about it. Kaboom! Exploding manhole. I thought personally that it was interesting the choice of them saying President Trump, remarkable. IRS may never audit President Trump or his children which is not really the headline of the story because the story is the slush fund for Trump allies! That's it. Yeah we've got these clips of that you know but to me I just want get a start on this...I thought the biggest story to me which no one played as a story

06:31 was this. Not the story about Iran, but the fact that Vance was filling in for Carolyn Leavitt and he was fantastic. I mean, that should be his job. He should be talking to the press every single day Did you see any of that? Yeah, so the whole thing It's kind of surprising because normally when the press secretary is not there to talk The associate or assistant or whoever it is as a secondary person They get the gig they get together. I've never seen the vice president take it over and he was great He's like yeah, hey, I got one got one or two of these things Let me see

07:30 I just got two clips of him expertly, I would say managing the press corps. Garrett you had your hand up! It's the Vice President of The United States Okay, who's had their hand up? Do you need to go the rest of you can go potty. Okay, all right here we go. You have your hand up Garrett. Thank you Mr Vice President. Midterms are underway voters going to the polls in six states today. You and the president ran on a platform that included no new wars cutting gas prices cutting inflation. What do you say people who are going to the polls today and feel like those promises are unkept?

08:08 I'd say a few things. First of all, we've delivered great wins for the American people. We ran on delivering tax cuts to the American people which we did—the largest tax cuts in American history. We ran on cutting taxes particularly on people who were working overtime and working on tips We cut taxes for those Americans. We ran on the promise of bringing investment back into the United States of America, that rather than factory closures we were going to have factories opening and we've seen both construction jobs in manufacturing but also manufacturing jobs have great rebounds under the Trump administration and under our leadership. We are very aware that because of what's going on in the Middle East gas prices have gone up and a lot of Americans are struggling because of that.

08:49 Our view is that it is a temporary increase. We're taking a number of steps to try to push back against it and try to ensure that Americans are paying as little at the pump as possible, but I feel quite confident after we've taken care of business in the Middle East those prices are going to come down and there have been a lot of prices as you know, a lot of prices from rent to housing, where we still got a lot of work to do but we do see some real progress made across the economy on pricing but also on people's jobs. It's so much better than having the press secretary. I like Carolyn Leavitt, but who cares? She is an in-between person. Vance is the truth. Well this could be... well not you brought this in as your top story. Well that's a top story! I will say that it's possible that this may be a trend Why not?! It makes so much sense But you have to have a vice president that can talk well For example Pence couldn't do this

09:54 He was stiff, he was a prick. Kamala Harris couldn't do it either! She couldn't do it in a million years? No but now it'll be a requirement for vice president the vice I think the Vice President... Well that this is where you're jumping the gun here I think but I'm thinking it's possible that it could be a requirement for vice president as possible if this could be a trend One more clip. It works? Yes, let's hear one more from him. I'm just going to start calling John Rosh. John, John, I'm gonna be calling my favorites who is the teacher's pet John Ross not you not that John, John, John Ross. Yeah yeah. I'm just gonna start calling John Rosh. Yes yes yes you're good. So Trump initially said that the war would last six weeks we are now it's been going on for 11 weeks and three days also

10:46 What Carolyn Leavitt always does is she always says the fake news media has a blahblahblah well you know as many of you have reported in this room she's so adversarial and here via... Yeah, yeah. She's kind of like Trump picks these women. Sarah Huckabee was the same way, you remember? Yes! She was really mean to everybody. Yeah and this is like everyone's kind of like hey it's JD substitute teacher JD yeah that's good we can ask him anything he doesn't care, he's not gonna slam us for that. What is your message to the American people as of why it has gone on so long and hasn't ended yet? Well first of all the president said it was going to be a short term operation and I think that has proven out to be true. The active period of conflict lasted about 5-5 1⁄2 weeks. Oh! Active conflict hello people get it right We've been in this ceasefire where we're trying to get a negotiated settlement that gets the American people things that we need

11:41 for our national security. So I've said before that we're going to go one of two options here, we're going to have a good settlement that actually gets the American people what they need or we're gonna go back to a kinetic operation obviously the president prefers to get that settlement i think the Iranians prefer to get that settlement but regardless of what direction the president ultimately goes down whatever he ultimately decides I think it's important for the American people to know two things. Number one, it will be for their security and their prosperity that's why we're doing this and number two It will not- This is not gonna be The sort of thing That lasts forever I think a lot of Americans especially in my generation Who are worried about Forever endless conflicts We have to remember You said 11 weeks A big chunk of that has been a ceasefire This is not a forever war We're going to take care of business And come home That's what the president promised And that's exactly what he's gonna deliver

12:30 I mean, outstanding. Remember we had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Jean Pierre, we had her... We had who else did we have? Psaki! This is so much more entertaining he is making the press briefing exciting again and I only caught it because all four screens on the quad were running it That never happens. They were probably running it because they thought that you'd screw up. Maybe, I think everyone was just surprised by it and I just said yeah I'll step in. She's had a baby he should do it for a couple weeks give that girl some time off. I'm all for it It is much better very exciting I am very excited Well my top story is the one I wrote up in the newsletter Yeah

13:27 And that is, I have one clip which is Massey. The top story of Massey losing and... Yeah, Massey's good yes. No matter what anybody, I don't care why, I'm asking you why there was a scandal? It could be, we have a letter from one of our boots on the ground guys who knows Lauren Bobert and he wrote a very nice note in. You probably have it there? I actually don't think i have it handy. I had to close my email. But for Mill... okay yeah I can... Excuse me! Don't die on me tell me the scandal first. I'm getting there. I'll get it, I'll bring it up but play this clip

14:12 Because this is the story, it seems to me that the fact that they refused all the media including Fox refuses this just to discuss which I talked about in a newsletter in detail. The scandal about Massey, which dropped him in May 8th. He was 71% chance according to the betting polls, 71% chance of winning the election within a week he dropped it like 34 or 31 or something really low before 41 that didn't happen because of Trump no

14:49 Trump has been against this guy for a long time. I don't think by the way, I don't think I got that email that you're referring to I Don't see it anywhere Interesting Oh yeah, it was you were on it but oh I'll get it but meanwhile Yes, I'm sorry to interrupt so tell us what the scandal is The scandal is, is that Massey... Well let's play this clip and I'll tell you what the scandal is. Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey is the latest Republican lawmaker to lose his seat for crossing President Trump. The race was another display of the president's hold on Republican voters This morning when asked about not endorsing incumbents Trump said he'd spoken to Senate leadership on the Republican side Some of them don't know how to win

15:34 I think i've proven that haven't I? Massey lost his primary to trump-backed candidate Ed Galloran by nearly 10 percentage points last night. That was just one race among six states that held elections Tuesday, the busiest primary day of the midterms Democrats in Georgia and other states continue to see large voter turnout which could be a good sign for them In November's midterm elections NPR Steven Fowler stayed up late last night To watch these results and joins us here early this morning Good morning Steve Did Massey lose because he went against some of Trump's policies? Yes and no. I mean Thomas Massey clashed with Trump over the Epstein files, he actually led to the release of the files. He clashed with Trump over the Iran war and foreign conflicts. He opposed Trump one big beautiful bill so Trump did back a challenger former Navy SEAL officer Ed Galrain in what's the latest example of Trump taking out anyone who isn't 100%

16:29 loyal in the last year or so. The last time an incumbent lost was Saturday with Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, but Massey kept it close. I will also note that yesterday Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to oust incumbent Senator John Cornyn ahead of next Tuesday's runoff You're already hearing some Republicans there fret if Paxton wins because polls indicate his victory would make the general election race more competitive, especially in what's shaping up to be a wave year for Democrats. Okay Okay, so what happened was and it's just all over them and I'm getting the impression It was all over X. Everyone was talking about X. It was all over X and i think it was on TikTok but But I think it was algo driven And so I'm beginning to think that the people who do run NPR They are getting feeds that are different than feeds you get, I get and people that would be involved with the Massey People in Kentucky

17:28 that voted against Massey. And it was a smear campaign that indicated that once Massey's wife died, he had an affair with at least two women one of them turned on him and said that he was turned into a complete horned dog and he was screwing Lauren Boebert immediately thinking she is the hottest thing in Congress. Can I just give you a little different perspective on that? So his wife was... wasn't she ill? Did she die suddenly? Yeah, she died suddenly. Well give me this perspective. I was going to say that you know a guy who it's possible that a lot is possible but when you're released from something that you might not have been happy in That's what you do

18:21 Yeah, but that's fine and Danny. That's not what you do when you're a congressman What do you mean don't let this kind of dirt come out because it makes you look like a douchebag dog He's just man he's just the man And these are just voters and And he was supposedly had a phone, as special burner phone that he called the bonerphone. Ha ha ho! Show title! Bonerphone... And there was, and so this because he was calling all these girls. Yeah! And then he got married immediately. He was married within a year to this very pretty girl That was pretty quick I agree that was fast...and that was not good What is the...hold on you're steamrolling me what is the appropriate time between death just asking for friend? If your are politician Yes It's at least two years Its 24 months okay alright

19:20 I think it's reasonable. For some just jerk on the street who doesn't care one way or the other, you can get married the next month that nobody gives a crap about it but if you're a politician especially if you're running against Trump trying to get you out, you don't do any of this stuff. You lead a clean life and it's not that hard to lead a clean life because I'm old so I can say that but It's not that hard and if you're a politician, that's what you want to do. So this came out and it all again in was in there were some AI videos showing the boner phone and him talking to it and Bobert on their flirting with him That kind of thing showed up in certain feeds and not other feeds but it showed up in my feed

20:08 I think it showed up and defeated the voters. And this was never discussed by anybody, Fox didn't discuss it ABC NBC CBS nobody discussed the scandal and I just played a clip from NPR and they're boneheaded about Trump didn't like him so that's why he got out again May 8th He was 71% chance of winning may eighth That's not that long ago. And so next thing had to do sort of the The rugs pulled out from under him within a one or two week period. That's how it happened and nobody is discussing it I find it ridiculous that the media is so oblivious to this Well do you think they're oblivious? Do you think they are oblivious, Or do you think that its more important for them to say Trump did it Which he did This is the question I could ask you

21:01 Or were they oblivious because they weren't in the algo? Which I think is possible, because they're not very aggressive about... Some of these people won't even watch Fox News. Well, Massie was on MS Now and CNN He was for all intents and purposes on quote-unquote their side Of The Epstein Argument And I think that Epstein released The Epstein Files All files that, except for the ones that were under investigation. That was his law I think it's the only bill he has ever gotten passed! I think its the only one

21:40 And you know his courtship with Tucker and Marjorie Taylor Greene, I mean he put himself in the enemy camp. And the way i see it Trump went we have to prove... We have to send a message. May 8th 71% that's all I'm saying. I think he could've beaten it because Rand Paul does it all the time. Rand Paul is in Kentucky same state they're contrarian there they don't care I don't think Trump's influence had as much to do with it as the smear. Hmm, well that's what i'm thinking because of the nature of Kentucky. Everybody was out there. Rand Paul and this guy has been re-elected over and over let me read from Marks note

22:27 He thinks the whole thing was created. I think it may have been a creation too The story was easy to manufacture and it killed two birds with one stone Lauren came out in support Supporting Massey so they decided to take them both down with one shot It was almost too easy, I know Lauren There are positive and negative things about her the one Positive thing about her is that she's a fighter and the truth. Thank you for truth in common sense Lauren likes it likes to let her hair down And have fun too as we saw by the video of her in the theater yes guys grabbing her breasts But she did not have sexual relations with that man

23:13 Yeah, it sounds like a smear to me too. Honestly no I think it was and I think was well executed but but you know It didn't show up in my algo and that was surprising No one tagged me in any of the stories But it did that here's where it's important. It did come because Tina told me do you hear about what? Lauren Boebert, you know Tina doesn't watch anything anymore But she hears it from the ladies of Fredericksburg. So one of the big MAGA ladies heard about it so It was definitely in the maga and the maga in the Magal go Magal go yeah Yeah I believe there's an algo issue here maybe continues There's a faction of the Colorado GOP that is following Trump's orders And scrambling to find a candidate to primary her Lauren

24:04 I call them the Davidians, after Dave Williams, the former Colorado GOP chairman that screwed up the party beyond where it was already screwed up. This can lose them and the one seat they could hold onto, which is Lauren's seat. If they lose it you can thank Trump for that! I honestly believe Trump wants Congress to flip for the midterms... ...to show up Johnson and Thune He could care less about the Republican Party he thinks it's his own party in force Well thats interesting twist I like the theory Not a bad theory at all

24:43 Colorado is going to complete the Californication of the state this midterm election. The Democrats, Socialists of America have taken over the Democrat Party here and put in their own candidates, including a mental patient that wears a dress for state treasurer. Colorado! Wow! Way to go way to go. All major state offices will have DSA members and Congress will be seven to one Democrat with almost all with DSA allegiance which is sickening

25:28 The one Republican will be Boebert, unless the Colorado GOP does the bidding of the DSA and primaries her. Colorado's a real shit show all across the board. The Democrats have destroyed the state and idiot voters are doubling down on stupid. Legalized marijuana did the opposite of how it was supposed to work They deserve their fate. I'm moving to Tampa Bay if i can sell my house and going to live in Anna Paulina Luna's district she's a smart, she's smart fighter and former stripper which is everything I want in my congresswoman This is a true citizen of Noah's generation

26:09 Perfect, perfect. And it goes on with some other details about stuff going on in Colorado but I always thought Luna was just a bathing suit model and I didn't know she was a stripper So there is one other theory from your boy here we go The most expensive race in terms of ad spend in history they say most expensive primary $32 million dollars in total just ads I think 20 million purely from the Israel lobby for Gahlrein. And we all know why that is, it's because Thomas Massey is the most vocal critic of the Israel lobby in Congress and specifically in the Republican conference and the Republican Party in the House. He voted against foreign aid voted for release of the Epstein files, voted in favor of the War Powers Resolution against the Iran war. And he called out AIPAC and their handlers on Tucker Carlson show what's interesting though when I said this on my show

27:02 is that they're now all trying to make this about Trump. Even if you watch Pete Hegess' speech, he says well why is Thomas Massey a problem? He's not with the team. He's not supporting Trump in a time of war. He's not voting with our movement. That's right! They are deflecting to Trump and does he have the power to run the party when really it's all about Israel?! Exactly, they're hiding behind him and the press is letting them do that because that line is coming from the White House in the Israel lobby. Oh yeah there you go and this is what you have to understand it's all about the Israel lobby All about that. It's not about anything else but the Israel lobby and President Trump doubled down on it I'm right now at 99% in Israel, I could run for prime minister so maybe after i do this I'll go to israel run for prime minister Had a poll this morning I'm 99%, so that's good

27:55 No, he's a wartime Prime Minister. I just don't think they treat him well. Mr President what are you doing with the vaccine? I think we have a president over there that treats them very poorly. You're on the same page as... There you go! President Trump will be next prime minister of Israel It's the shoo-in it's the Jews man get it together That has nothing to do with Boebert This is how people think I don't think they think that way What? I think they think in terms of sex and scandals. No, no i'm talking about our own people Oh white people yeah well that's for sure Trolls right now are like... Yeah they're a bit too much money It was all Jew money Here's Hegseth on the case Primary elections are being held in six states today including Kentucky where Republican Congressman Thomas Massey is in a tough fight with Trump-backed challenger

28:45 Ed Galrine. Massey has been critical of the President's policies and has worked to release the Jeffrey Epstein files in an extraordinary break with a military tradition of political neutrality, Defense Secretary P Hexeth appeared at a campaign event for Galrine in Kentucky yesterday and attacked Massey who called the appearance desperate need reinforcement from Republicans that fight requires a Congress Full of warriors including Ed this one ladies and gentlemen is a no-brainer It's kind of crazy that you would send the Secretary of War President Trump would not be doing this if they were confident that they were winning And they're worried that I'm gonna win The Pentagon says Hexeth appeared as a private citizen and not as a secretary of war They say no taxpayer dollars we used to pay for their visit. Yeah, yeah here's

29:39 MSZzzz now. Yeah, I mean it's extraordinary unusual inappropriate for a defense secretary to be on the campaign trail to begin with let's just start there to be out campaigning for a candidate that is it inappropriate for a defense secretary to do that? Says who Well, Willie from MSN now. Oh Why is it inappropriate? I don't know this why I'm asking you her hatchet. Well, why doesn't he explain it? No, that's a hatch act because nobody's done it before because somebody had I doubt that nobody's done It before it's the Hatch Act man air to be out campaigning for a candidate their Hatch Act considerations potentially here but then to do it in the middle of a war where just hours ago The president was on the brink he said

30:26 a new round of strikes against Iran before pulling back again. We'll get into that in just a moment, you have the Secretary of Defense on the campaign trail and as you say why are they fighting against Thomas Massie? Because he wants all the information out. He wants the truth out about the Epstein files. Oh yeah sure! This is how hard they're working to suppress that truth. The President dispatching his Secretary of Defense to campaign against the guy who's trying to get to the bottom of that. Also, Joe I know this is something you've talked about for years now which is that Thomas Massey...the argument goes from his opponents and yesterday from

31:02 the head of defense is not conservative, that he's anti-Trump. He's not conservative Look at the voting record of Thomas Massey talk to anybody who has ever spent 10 minutes on Capitol Hill. He is incredibly conservative in all the ways that conservatism used to actually hold up now we're talking about Trumpism which is something very different from conservatism but MAGA folks Secretary of Defense trying to conflate those two things if you're against Donald Trump even on the Epstein files now, you're not conservative So I guess we should still believe that there's Epstein files We haven't seen the real one. Yes, the pedo father is I'm sure there's something we haven't seen

31:49 But even Massey's own bill called for all files except active investigations. He wasn't really asking for all files, I mean i want to see Frazzled drip as much as anybody else! I don't think the Epstein thing was the key issue here. He's voted against a big beautiful bill, he voted again... He just would not get on board with a lot of this from the Trump perspective ignoring the real reason that he lost which was the scandal as far as i'm concerned Well you'd expect it yeah I mean so they must first we have to

32:33 remind ourselves that the news media is not here to report on the news, it is to get us to vote Democrat. That's what they do. Even Fox is questionable. So they want to make Trump look bad and you know, Hegg Seth anyone else who was Trump adjacent? That's what they do! It wasn't in their best interest to launch this scandal Or to report on the scandal. Report it? Yeah, report it wasn't in their best interest No because then it would detract from the points they're trying to make So now let's go to our next president President Tucker Who did an interview with Israel's Channel 13 Did you happen to see this? No I did not! I didn't even know this happened This is fantastic

33:31 So just note that Tucker was there. Whenever something happened, Tucker was there! So this is a very adversarial interview but I found it fascinating. Thank you for having me. You are one of Donald Trump's most consistent and vocal supporters, you called on people to vote for him What happened? Yes what happened was the war with Iran which I don't believe serves the interests of United States I think it is destructive to the United States and to the world but mostly to the United States I'm American that is what I care about That's something he promised he wouldn't do. For 10 years, he argued against a war like this and then for a variety of reasons not all which I understand He embarked on it and so I can't support that My views did not change His did Do you generally believe Israel would try to harm you because of your opinion?

34:28 Do I believe Israel would try to harm me? Yes. Of course, I don't know...I hope not! I don't want to be harmed but my main interest is not Israel. I'm just asking you, you were implied of that when you spoke about your coming to Israel let's see that for a second. And they said okay i want to send you the flight information and I wanted to pass it on to the Israeli military You know, they don't mistake us for an Iranian drone or something. I mean not to be paranoid but again this is probably the most violent country in the world Israel so Israel is the most violent state in the world even more than Iran

35:09 Are you serious? No country, and I say this with sadness but no country has boasted more about killing its political opponents than Israel. Of course about its assassination programs the Prime Minister of Israel gave a golden pager to the President of United States. I was there! And that golden pager represented the pagers that Hezbollah leaders were killed by sure So yes, Israel brags about assassinating people and of course it does assassinate people. Many countries assassinate people but Israel makes a public relations campaign out of boasting about killing its opponents. Dude have you ever heard someone say Allah Akbar? I don't... Tucker he doesn't know what he said in the past Yes this is the most concerning part He doesn't remember anything he said in the past

36:10 And he's adamant about it. I never said that! But he also says, you know President Trump went to war in Iran which he promised he wouldn't do totally true For reasons I don't understand why, but it's not America first. Well maybe you should ask him why? Now the answer primarily will be because Iran can have a nuclear weapon Okay i'm pretty skeptical about that we've been hearing that for 10 years or maybe even longer I think there were definitely a lot of financial reasons and, look at this. These guys they control an area that apparently can put the whole world in peril just by them supposedly cutting it off or doing whatever so it seems like that is a problem that no one ever wanted to address

37:04 But let's go on because Trump obviously did not do this for America. He did it for Israel We all know this I mean, you know You accuse Nathanael of dragging Trump into an unnecessary war with Iran So let's think about what it actually means Do you really think that a foreign leader can pull the president of the United States? Into a war he didn't want and what does it tell us about Trump is he really that weak or Well, I don't think that could happen. I saw it happen. I was there and so that happened. He's always there but he seems to be like in Israel or somebody else's podcast or something... But somehow he is always there! He was there when Bibi Netanyahu forced Donald Trump to go to war with Iran. HE WAS THERE! The United States into a war it didn't want and what does it tell us

38:01 About Trump is he really that weak? Well, I don't think that that could happen. I saw it happened It was there and so that happened So the question is why and he says this a lot of notice I was there I was there Think he means he saw something on TV or you read the New York Times article Without pictures where they said that something happened in the war room, but he was there and I just want to be clear. I don't primarily blame The Israeli Prime Minister who I think is wrong? I think he's gravely hurt Israel. I think he's leading Israel toward destruction I think it's a very bad leader and a very unwise leader however I also believe

38:40 that Prime Minister Netanyahu is acting in what he thinks is his nation's best interest. So I give him credit for that and always have I don't blame him primarily, I blame Donald Trump for folding under the pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu and his many allies in the United States. Donors to Donald Trump people in the media class here were effectively working on behalf of the Israeli government and Donald Trump whose decision it was caved under that pressure but on February 28th the United States followed Israel into this war And the Secretary of State of the United States said we had no choice. They chose the time He didn't say, We had no choice? Israeli Prime Minister decided when this started Well that's The definition of control he had control over this war Hold on a second What is the definition of control let me just hear that again Half of the Israeli government and Donald Trump whose decision it was Caved under that pressure But on February 28th The United States followed Israel into this war

39:40 And the Secretary of State of the United States said we had no choice. They chose the time, the Israeli Prime Minister decided when this started well that's The definition of control he had control of this war That's an interesting way of looking at it even if you took Lubeo's statement at face value, it wasn't control he said because I know because we played the clip ad nauseum and pulled it apart. He said Israel was going to strike and that would mean that we would have strikes so we had to go but I don't think that's a definition of control is it?

40:17 Of course not. Okay, and so my question is... This is Tucker's simplification of things Well that's what he does. Well that's the definition of control He had control over this war And so my question is why did Donald Trump allow a nation of 9 million people to pull the United States A nation of 350 million people Not the way you jumped into it Wait, the logical inconsistency First he defines control to mean something he wants it to mean so that then make the assertion that how does a nation of nine million people control, I mean its trick. He uses trickery to make his point. Literary trickery yes literary trickery

41:03 Yeah, it's a trick and it's like okay well you if you didn't push back on the earlier assertion now he's got you this is like how a pathological liar works where they get get you to agree to one thing that they know that your now your cook because you've already agreed to the other things so everything at logical that logically stems from that must be true. Oh yeah, yeah there's... Well Tucker's very good at that But now he adds another 50 million people to our country, which I thought was interesting. When this started well that's the definition of control he had control over this war and so my question is why did Donald Trump allow a nation of 9 million people to pull the United States, a nation of 350 million people into a war that will change it? Are we at 350 now?

41:55 Yeah, we've always been. We've been at 350 for a while No we were 250 for awhile and then... You're listening to an old show It's future! And it is bad for the United States I can't answer that question You can't answer? I don't have an answer Uh-huh you want to hear more? A couple more I don't have an answer That's good Do you want to hear some more? Yes sure To imply that Donald Trump is so weak that a foreign leader can drag him into the war he doesn't want. Well, I'm not... First of all, you're hesitating that maybe... Now he's going to kind of walk it back. Well, now I never said that. You just said it! You implied that Donald Trump is so weak that a foreign leader can drag him into a war he doesn't want. Well, first of all, I'm not... But you are hesitant and may be afraid to say clearly that Donald Trump is weak

42:47 Let me say two things for one of course I'm not afraid or I wouldn't be doing this interview or talking about this at all But maybe you're wrong by not seeing what is very blunt truth that if the United States would cave in to Iran terror regime that controls now also the Hormuz Passway and their terror ring that it created in the Middle East maybe it would be even worse for any citizens in the world not only in Israel but also in the United States. And this is exactly what Donald Trump said he said that United States would have been in danger so you don't believe Donald Trump?

43:30 I don't believe Donald Trump and i also think as an Israeli you should pause before using the phrase terror regime since you live in a country that just murdered thousands of childrens in Gaza. We should all pull back on the rhetoric. Yes, well that's the rhetoric we should all pull back on the rhetoric after I just threw out some rhetoric Two more clips But the behavior of the Israeli government in Gaza is disgusting and immoral. And, of course Israel's not a democracy in any sense there are millions of people who live under Israeli control who cannot vote right? So if the West Bank Judea and Samaria and Gaza or whatever calling these places... Judea and Samaria What?

44:29 And no amount of recounting the legitimate atrocities of October 7th will ever get me to accept this behavior from the Israeli government, from the US government, from the Iranian government or any government. It's always wrong and Israel doesn't like to acknowledge existence of universal principles that apply to everyone equally That's why they're principles not preferences and Israel again which I've always liked as a country is a lot of civilized decent people living there to this day Has to acknowledge that principles are universal they apply to everyone even you even me My government your government every government, but you won't acknowledge that it's always like Oh Iran's bad Yeah, Iran is bad. But your behavior is bad too

45:12 Okay, I can't counter that. Lots of behavior is bad. There's stuff going on in Nigeria and everywhere but Israel seems to be the focus. And then we get the final question which you've all been waiting for... Anything? I don't think the United States should give Israel anything! We should stop all aid to Israel and special deals for Israel tomorrow. Mr. Carlson are you running for office? Do you consider running for office? I am not running for office. I have no plans to run for office. I'm starting to believe that the Republican Party does not serve the United States, and I certainly believe the Democratic Party does not serve the United States. And so I hope we have an option. I would like a democracy in the United States like one in Israel. So I move into color! Israel is not a democracy? The United States apparently is not a democracy either. Our government keeps doing things that people don't want. That's not democracy it's the opposite of democracy. And I want democracy very very much

46:06 I want democracy. Democracy? Democracy! It's a republic, you dumb shit he knows that But he wants democracy as you yelled in the background In Qatar Yes that is where you want to buy a house because you feel safe there in the democracy of Qatar With a king With a King It's just interesting He's doing this...I think he IS running I think he does have a plan Yeah, what do you mean? I think he really has thoughts and people are talking to him. We know people are talking to him your boy Kiriakou is talking to a boy called yeah Tucker You got it run man. You can win this thing even when this thing I am sure he's thinking about it Why else see these interviews do your podcast Do your podcast who cares Channel 13 in Israel It was a fluke that I got it

47:01 Yeah, it's a fluke. Yeah Anyway I just well get the main story that was pushed on the ABC News out of the way because they have A three by three about the mosque and now it's time for three by three Experiment by JC comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC That's right, the top stories from the three big ones. John has got them lined up let see if they are exactly the same or if something is a little different in one of them here we go ABC. Tonight authorities have revealed the two shooters were wearing body armor and camouflage armed with shotguns, rifles and handguns when they stormed the Islamic center of San Diego shooting and killing three people including a hero security guard and they live streamed the attack using what appear to be helmet cameras The shooters made it inside the front entrance of a building just feet away from school children Police say the suspects went room by room and found no one They headed back outside to the parking lot

48:04 Police believe the suspects heard the sound of rapidly approaching sirens and fled the scene. This new video from blocks away shows the suspects then opening fire at a landscaper who wasn't injured Bull shooters then later found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Tonight, sources say the suspects are 17 year old Kane Clark a high school wrestler and 18 year old Caleb Vasquez The FBI says they met an were radicalized online an shared a broad hatred of different races and religions The live stream appears to show them wearing neo Nazi symbols I can confirm there has been a manifesto that's been recovered They didn't discriminate on who they hated

48:46 Police say the 17-year old suspect's mother had called police two hours before the shooting, fearing he was suicidal. Saying her weapons and vehicle were missing setting off a manhunt before the attack And David we have just learned from sources that a person previously reported the 18 year old suspect in this case and police made contact with him they were reported that he was interested in extremism mass casualty attacks So many grateful to that hero security guard tonight Trevor all thank you You know, you wake up and you're interested in mass casualty events. Okay... They met online and got radicalized how? Oh! Very easy by the constant videos everywhere telling you that Islam is taking over America

49:36 Throw in some SSRIs, which you'll never hear about. And you've got yourself a powder keg! This doesn't surprise me at all and this they didn't care about who they hated bullshit Just go online is look at this look at the see mom Look at this look at this guy or look at it. Oh they're taking over 200 mosques in Texas there They're gonna get us Sharia law NBC. Yeah, NBC You can hear the gunshots a person scrambling to push a stroller to safety as a suspect opens fire in his San Diego neighborhood and hear glass breaking as more shots come from that very vehicle police say just minutes before that shooting two gunmen unleashed a deadly rampage at a mosque sending school kids running for their lives

50:24 Two senior law enforcement officials telling NBC News the gunmen have been identified as 18-year old Caleb Vasquez and 17 year old Kane Clark. And three senior law enforcement officials tell NBC News they're trying to authenticate a document purportedly written by the suspects full of anti Islamic and antisemitic views, also describing themselves as anti Trump outside the car where police say they killed themselves A bottle with a Nazi SS symbol. They didn't discriminate on who they hated. And at 9 40 AM Monday, two hours before the killing spree police say Clark's mother called police to report her suicidal son had run away taking his parents weapons and

51:04 car. Police started a search including in a mall and school when two hours later the first reports of gunfire at the mosque, and then that second shooting scene just blocks away branches still on the ground after police say that gunman opened fire on a landscaper one bullet grazing off his helmet another embedded right here in this very home as this investigation is still ongoing Morgan I know you have some new reporting in on these suspects Yeah, Tom we do and in addition to recovering those 30 firearms in Crossbow's authorities say that they believe these two teenagers met online where they were later radicalized. And upon realizing that both lived here in San Diego That's when they started meeting in person and right now they're doing a deep dive into their electronic devices Deep Dive! I wonder if there was discord involved? None of this should be surprising

52:00 They hate Trump, okay? They probably... Did they watch Tucker? Did they watch Fuentes? The Jews are killing America. The Muslims are killing America This is what online narrative is It's in our own troll room I'm not surprised by this They were probably radicalized by some trolls here And it doesn't surprise me at all! It's extremely sad Well wait until we play CBS Do they do something different CBS or CIA outlet, I don't... the only thing that I find interesting was that both reports said they didn't discriminate against who they hated.

52:45 Yeah, let's see if CBS does that. There is a reason for this I don't know what it is yet but we're gonna find out We've seized over 30 guns in the crossbow San Diego police say the two teens who carried out the mosque shooting and apparently live streamed their rampage were likely motivated by hate We also identified writings of various ideologies outlining religious and racial beliefs of how the world they envision should look. The two teenagers, 17-year old Cain Clark and Caleb Vasquez 18 met online and connected over their hate filled beliefs They approached the mosque just before noon on Monday and started shooting The gunman came within 15 feet of 140 children inside. Two mosque members, Nadir Awad and Mansoor Qaziya engaged the shooters moving them outside earlier Amin Abdullah security guard and father-of-eight enacted lockdown protocols and took on the gunmen

53:35 I felt a bit scared, my legs were shaking and my head was hurting me. A landscaper working nearby was shot at. A bullet deflected off of his helmet likely saving his life. Imam Taha Hussain says their community is shaken but... I know that my community is resilient we're just trying our best to show the best of who we are, to stand in solidarity with one another especially with the families of three victims. Police believe that shooters died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds and tonight there is growing concern over hate directed at religious groups and faith institutions are asking for additional police presence Tony? Yeah well Christians on deck next... That'll be next

54:27 This has already happened a couple of times. Are you kidding me? Yeah, no I know school shootings with the trans shooters this guy these guys weren't trans that we know of and I'd like to know ask a question what what brings somebody to kill they there were Idealogues they're going on and they bitch in the morning about one thing or another And they gonna kill bunch of Muslims They want to do this they want to do that then they shoot themselves well Wouldn't they rather be like living martyrs so they could go into the prisons and get people on their side of things or try to proselytize or do something other than shoot themselves? This whole thing stinks. Well, that's the SSRI talking in combo with some discord. It has got to be!

55:07 Clearly. But yeah, I'm looking for this video... Let me see it was.. I'll look for it in a moment This is an example of why people get all spun up and angry but first CBS was the only one who had a little bit of the audio of The Kid, The 9-year old CNN, they went to the mat. They let's get this nine-year old kid on camera Let's do it! This will be great as great television I felt a bit scared my legs are shaking in my hands And my head was like hurting me a lot. I felt like a rock The teachers and the kids were all like shaking sad and stuff When the guy kicked at all of them were crying

55:55 I heard like a bunch of bad stuff, like gunshots. And plus, I went inside the closet with my whole class. We heard like 12 or 16 gunshots and then the SWAT team said, FBI open up! Then they opened the door and they went inside They told us to put our hands up and form a big line. We were walking inside the Mosulah All of us saw the Sheikh's apartment inside the mosque And like it was broken down we went down and then we saw a bunch of bad stuff people laying down in yeah, that's tough. Yeah man child abuse yes, I agree I was gonna say the same thing as child abuse so this is a poor kid this is a guy at a City Hall meeting in Frisco Texas

56:50 And he's got, for some reason he has body armor on like military you know plate in the front plate in the back. This is the kind of stuff that gets people really spun up and I can see that this this gets kids You know into this radicalized state being Frisco a Stan What are you guys doing here? Inviting the enemy to eat at the table with you and they steal all your food Your children will grow up without A place to be in because every single one of their jobs And you saw the children that were brought up on this stage not one of them is a heritage American now One of them was a Texan

57:26 Your replacement is here, Americans. And it is coming faster and faster. The Hindus and the Muslims are teaming up to take over Texas. This is not Muslims versus Hindus here. They are here to eradicate the Christians. They're here to drive us out of our homelands. You have to understand these people do not want to assimilate These people have not come here to become Americans. They've come here to drag their third world culture over to our country! If Jainism, if Hinduism is so great why are their countries shitholes? They're bringing this

58:02 ideology here to turn the third world is not a place. It is a people, it is an ideology and as a way of life that is a culture and when they bring their people there way of life, their ideology in their culture over to America do you think its gonna remain American? Have you ever looked across the plains of Texas and said, hmm I need 5 million jeets here right now to shit in the street? No one has. No one has ever looked across and said The football fields, the games all of the amazing cowboy- Excuse me sir, excuse me sir You'll watch my words I have a first amendment right and i can curse if want to I can talk if i want to. No one has ever looked across the plains of Texas in the football games and all the amazing cowboy culture, and the raw American spirit here and said let's replace this with Muslims! Let's replace this with Hindus! Texas should remain for Texans!" This guy is spun up but this is the feeling John

58:58 that is being created online. I think the reality in some places, yeah you've got Enclave just like this is anything different than Chinatown then Little Italy then Jewtown Hasidic Jews Is it any different? Has ever been any different? You're muted. Ghettos! Ghettos But has it ever been any different? There's always been ghettos Yeah

59:37 I think if they're talking about people crapping in the street, it's not the Hindus. It's a homeless in San Francisco They're not Hindus Don't look at those! Those are Americans damnit So this is what people watch and like yeah There's no heritage Americans White that's a new term Oh, that's cute. So you know and I push back here all the time. You're out of your mind there are 25 thousand churches in Texas and two hundred and fifty three mosques over the last 20 years not the last 2 years like you see online. Okay alright well change the Constitution change the Bill of Rights only Christians but this is

1:00:36 It's flowing over from what happened in Europe, which is a very different situation. And it's not Muslims, it's Islamists! It's a big difference that he's right about that. It's a political ideology and if you see some dudes talking about we're gonna take over America they should get a knock on the door Hey What's your problem son? Let's make sure I don't have anything strange going on here Yeah, they should get enough of there We don't do that enough. I agree But you know, we wait till somebody does something then we arrest them. When you should just preventative crime prevention is very easily done by just a... You know hey stop doing that! Stop it yes stop that for a moment will ya? Stop it exactly well I don't have enough of that We agree on that so then you get this Well that doesn't surprise me

1:01:32 I have the MSNBC report just to wrap this up. You know, Rob, I want to piggyback off of Ayman's idea about the peace in this community being this mosque its longevity in this community. I want you listen real quick to the Imam Taha Hassan and what he had to say about this moment It is extremely outrageous to target a place of worship. Our Islamic center is a place of worship people come to the Islamic Center to pray, To celebrate, to learn not only Muslims But we have people from all walks of life just this morning earlier a group of people non-muslims coming Just to learn about our faith and our cultures so This is something that we have never expected

1:02:34 Amen noted that they've been there since the late 1980s, so the depth and the roots of this community in this center of faith and learning clearly is not enough. You know those roots are no longer enough in this Michael's deal you Space where I realize he stammered so much. Well, he's trying to be you know He's in his sincere mode there we have this guy's a stooge Yes, he is a stooge he is he is anyway well let's go to another story that I think it's

1:03:17 The weird, to me it's weird. I don't understand it completely and how you do it but we've done it which is Castro indictment Yeah this is good Which one you want play first? Well start with the NPR which I think see overview You mean the NTD? Did I... yeah NTD Tonight Justice Department indictments of former Cuban dictator Raul Castro today marks a significant move in Trump administration escalating pressure against Cuba And today's Arlene Richards has the story. Federal authorities in Miami on Wednesday announcing charges against Raul Castro tied to the 1996 shoot down of civilian planes operated by Brothers to the Rescue, an incident that killed four people. Castro served for decades as one of the most powerful figures in Cuba's communist regime He was Cuba's defense minister at the time of the attack and later became the country's president succeeding his brother Fidel Castro Today we are announcing

1:04:17 an indictment charging Raul Castro and several others with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals Mr. Castro and the others are charged with additional crimes as well including destruction of aircraft, and four individual counts of murder Castro faces a maximum term of life imprisonment on the conspiracy and murder charges, and up to five years on each of the destruction-of aircraft charges. Prosecutors accuse Castro of involvement in the order to shoot those planes down. Raul Castro ordered those fighter jets to shoot down unarmed civilian aircraft. It was not an accident, it was intentional premeditated state sanctioned murder and their criminal conspiracy violated Florida sovereignty

1:05:05 The announcement comes alongside a commemoration service for those who lost their lives. Federal authorities say that the charges are a step toward accountability For nearly 70 years, the communist Cuban regime has acted with impunity in its systematic repression of its people For the last 30 years, this regime's senior leadership has gone unchallenged for its murder of four Americans. While it remains unclear whether there are plans to bring Castro into U.S. custody, the indictment represents one of the strongest legal actions yet taken against Cuba's former leadership To me it seemed very obvious what this was Solidify Florida

1:05:49 For the midterms, you gotta have Florida. Gotta make sure we nail that down. But I don't think... I don't think Florida's in play Well it isn't now that's for sure Well the other thing is..I have mixed feelings about this One they claim that the Cubans sent some fighters to shoot down these planes in Florida airspace If that was true why weren't those fighters brought down by missiles? I don't think the story is important. It's all... Well, I'm just saying and asking these questions. Yeah, I don't know. And Cuba says no we did this over our land and these planes were in our airspace and we shot them down The other thing is that this went on for 30 years

1:06:40 Yeah. This is 30 years ago this happened? No, this is just posturing they're just getting ready to take over the place Well let's listen to the analysis because I have a theory about this Okay Let's go to analysis one. Next, officials in Florida today reacting to the federal indictment of former Cuba dictator Raul Castro saying it will be life-changing for people living in Cuba as well as the US. And Ediz David Lam has more on that. Officials in Florida sharing their thoughts on the latest developments regarding Cuba after the federal indictment of Raul Castro, the former head of Cuba's communist regime

1:07:18 Alexander Diaz-Rodriguez is I think 45 years old. Look how old he looks in this, you know why? He was starved, he was tortured... He has cancer they didn't give him treatment That's the face of Cuban regime. The indictment describes how Fidel Castro, his brother Raul Castro and others established a ruthless communist dictatorship in Cuba after seizing power in 1959 Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressing the Cuban people directly. We are ready to open up a new chapter in our relationship with our people and countries And currently, the only thing that gets in the way of a better future is those who control their country. Congressman Carlos Jimenez, a Cuban-American says he looks forward to a free Cuba Very happy for today I am...I was born in Cuba

1:08:13 returned to Guantanamo about a year ago and I made a promise that i would never return to Cuba again unless it was free. I believe I'm going to be able to keep that promise and I'm gonna see a free Cuba in the not too distant future." Castro's indictment stems from his alleged involvement in Cuba shooting down of two planes belonging to a humanitarian group in 1996, in which three American citizens and US residents were killed And people were swimming across the Florida Strait and the Brothers to the Rescue were going out on their own, to help people get to our shores. To escape tyranny and they gave the order Raul Castro to shoot them down, to shoot them out of the sky well today there will be justice What's the difference between now and then is that we have President Trump in The White House That is THE big difference Ah, here's a thought

1:09:08 Two things happened this week. Can you be vice president for a different president twice? So could JD Vance could be Lubeo's Vice President There is absolutely no reason why he can't do that. Oh perfect, this it! Lubeo for President and we'll have a huge, huge base behind him And JD Vance, you know we just saw he's great at the press conferences so he'll be vice president slash press secretary. Forever! Forever forever yeah this is positioning look it look at the difference Lubeo gets to say what he just did and Vance gets to run the press it's a winning team man Let's go now that now we have a CIA guy they brought in

1:09:54 Which brings me to my thoughts, which I'll after this second clip of the analysis. And joining us to discuss the implications of these charges against former dictator and defense minister Raul Castro is Michael Waller. He's a former CIA operative and senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy. Michael today for you must be surreal. You've spent your career in defense national security and foreign policy development with a specialty on Latin America. What is the significance of this May 20th Cuban Independence Day? accountability on the horizon for a Castro. It's a great day, Raul Castro killed a lot of my friends he had them gunned down across Central America and elsewhere so this is a really exciting time to see this man finally brought in for justice in shackles

1:10:39 Your response gives me chills. Would you expect Castro to turn himself in or perhaps a Maduro style operation? Or is he just too old to even be able to make that trip back to the US in his mid 90s at this point? Well, I think he'd rather die than surrender that's part of his nature so we'll have to just make a choice or will make it for him Just noted today the U.S Southern Command announced that the aircraft carrier Nimitz strike Strike group has just entered the Caribbean and if you look at the video that they posted on X There's a map of Cuba in the very last half second. Hmm, okay? Yes well this is not unexpected So I think this is Trump Finally getting around to completing the Bay of Pigs operation Kennedy chickened out on yeah

1:11:30 It's like, okay the CIA wanted to take this guy out right away. They couldn't? While the getting was good and then Kennedy didn't have the wherewithal he just didn't like it and he was also part of it during that era No man! Israel told him not too Yeah, it was part of that era where people were kind of soft on communism. And Castro presented himself not as a full-blown communist and so Kennedy couldn't pull the trigger and they let the Bay of Pigs event fail which it did

1:12:10 And it's gotta be, it's been a thorn in the CIAs paw ever since and Trump is fixing it. That's the only thing that could be going on now. The CIA guy was all jacked up talking about it and he also mentions he thinks Raul Castro still running the country despite the fact that he's retired into some other tidbits I could have gotten three or four more clips if this wasn't gonna get too boring but they didn't do it but I think that what's going on And, you know besides being in the quagmire it looks like in Iran he's gonna fix the Cuba situation for good. Well if this is true and I like the thesis what other blunders could Trump go and fix from the past? Can we finally get to Viet Cong? Wow! There has gotta be something else he can do

1:13:06 It's one of these blunders. We've had a lot of blunders, well he did Panama we got Panama fixed I guess yeah i don't hear anything else about Panama um He's fixing the Hormuz Straits no problem and I think he will fix it and I think he will fix it before July 4th one way or the other He's got the Cuba thing. Yeah, he's come in as the mechanic that fixes all the screw-ups Here is some CBC analysis Trump declined to say whether the US military would conduct an operation to seize Castro similar to what American forces did in Venezuela

1:13:45 When President Nicolas Maduro was captured and flown to New York to face drug-related charges, the move facilitated a leadership change in Caracas viewed as more favorable to Washington and U.S. oil interests. Castro will appear in court one way or another says Todd Blanche. This isn't a show indictment we expect that he will show up here by his own will or by Cuba's president Miguel Diaz-Canel is condemning the indictment. In a post on social media, he says the case against Castro has been fabricated to justify military aggression against Cuba. The Cuban leadership is certainly not going to just turn him over

1:14:29 Peter Kornbluh is a senior Cuba analyst with the research group in Washington, and he predicts tensions are about to rise. We're living in a very grim moment in which the dark cloud of possible U.S. acts of war against Cuba are coming Donald Trump has said many times He built up the military in his first term And now he's going to use it In his second term If the US does decide to take action, it won't likely happen quickly since so many resources are already deployed to the Middle East for the U.S war in Iran." That's not even true! Didn't Abraham Lincoln just come back into port?

1:15:05 No, it was the Nimitz. No that was the Ford! The Ford yeah, Ford came by which is also big... Ford's not small Yeah well that was a deployed forever That's when I think they had to bad toilets or something for 11 months They had to park in Greece and have them fixed because nobody in Europe would take the ship We're not going to fix that It really pissed everybody off Italy wouldn't...no get that thing out of here So here Especially with the bad toilet we don't need that aggravation Here's the right... We already have enough toilet issues in Venice Here is the ramp up opportunity. As President Trump publicly weighs taking military action in Cuba, that country's president Miguel Diaz-Canel is warning that doing so would create a quote bloodbath and an exclusive Axios reports that has acquired more than 300 military drones and as discussing using them to potentially attack

1:15:54 the Guantanamo Bay U.S. detention center, and possibly even parts of the US mainland. White House correspondent for Axios Mark Caputo joins me now to discuss his new reporting and walk us through what you've learned Mark. Well you sort of set it up pretty well is after the toppling of Maduro in Venezuela Venezuelan intelligence began telling the United States that around mid 2023 Cuba had begun acquiring drones and had as many as 300 which surprised the United States. And recently, according to the intelligence officials we spoke to there were intercepts of chatter discussions in Cuban military circles of not only buying more drones from Russia but also discussing possibly attacking these targets

1:16:42 Now we are told that there's no imminent threat from Cuba, that Cuba was talking about launching these attacks in case hostilities erupted military hostilities. Yeah Shaheed drones is what I'm thinking so that's the next thing oh they got drones oh they got the drones and they can hit Guantanamo they can hit Miami Beach? Well it's only 90 miles guys what i'm saying it's a ramp up this is a ramp-up Yeah, well that's just maybe they're being set up so they could send a drone or there could be a false flag. A fake drone now we've got the notion that they got the drones some drone hits Miami Beach it could be one of our drones and a complete false flag and then we attack Cuba and grab Castro and change the government And then what maybe could Marco? Could he be the president of Cuba can we give him a gimme

1:17:41 I like that idea. I bet he would like it too! Think of the vacation destination, I'm so bored with all the islands... The CIA guy said that he claims-I can't verify this, I've discussed it with some people though to be honest about it-that Rubio can speak fluent perfect Spanish but in that speech he spoke with his Cuban accent So he has a Cuban Spanish which according to at least one friend of mine who speaks fluent Colombian Spanish. Mm-hmm Cuban Spanish is like gutters gutter Spanish is like nice, you know, it's not talking about this when you know Funny are you making fun of Texas? No, Texas talk like this should eat

1:18:31 That's different. Speaking of Texas, something interesting happened in Houston which I believe is at the very same hospital where our Vax guy is? What's his name again? The one with the glasses? Hotep! Yeah Hotep exactly It's his hospital and this is what happened. A controversial settlement over transgender care for minors reached today between Texas Children's Hospital... Hey man, you are really banging your mic a lot! I'm moving things around and I am hitting the mic by accident. Here is the...I can explain the setup there is this wire

1:19:11 Yeah, I keep bumping into it and it makes a noise when I hit it. Get some gaffer tape man! Lock that down this is professional podcast. I need gaffer's tape. I don't have any here. Here we go...I'll start over A controversial settlement over transgender care for minors reached today between Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and Attorney General Ken Paxton After years of back and forth, and the involvement of the US Department Of Justice. Texas Children's is agreeing to pay $10 million dollars to the state revoke the privileges of several doctors and create what Paxton calls the nation's first de-transition clinic this all stems from a 2023 state investigation into allegations that the hospital improperly billed Texas Medicaid for some of the care in a statement Paxton says in part quote This settlement will ensure that the deranged child mutilators who hurt our

1:19:59 kids are fired and held accountable, adding that the detransition clinic will help provide free care to those who have been victimized by twisted morally bankrupt transgender ideology. We may have a lot of Muslims but we're stopping this nonsense! Can I ask you a question? Yep Okay so Trump is ousting Cornyn who has always voted with Trump on all issues including the big beautiful bill and everything else and Cornyn's been up staunch Republican And they're running Ken Paxton, who I understand is somewhat controversial within this boundaries of Texas itself for some reason. That thing that goes back we talked about this guy before what's going on? Why is Ken Paxton being run against Cornyn? I think because he won't put in anti AI laws but he's very much...I think you may even be

1:21:02 in the Trump faith office. What? I think he's in the Office of Faith, he is one of the people there. Office of what? The Faith Office. There's a faith office. Oh, a faith office! Yes, a faith office. So why is he ousting Cornyn? Yeah, Cornyn is a shoe-in why would you do this Is this because of the faith office? I don't think so. No, but he is in the White House all the time He's saying look make me Attorney General. Attorney General they're making him Senator Oh yeah already is the attorney general sorry Yeah hello Hello! I'm asking the wrong guy apparently Come on you have to have an answer for this question You're the Texan

1:22:01 All I know is that everybody. I know voted for Cornyn they did not vote for Paxson, so That's my Texas beat why Trump is doing that is as much a mystery to me as it is to you? I'm trying to come up with some theories and you're just berating me and you need to stop oh, I'm not berating you Yeah, yeah You are but I'll stop berating you once you come up with the theory that that's understandable because I sure don't get it And nobody else does here's what here's what the litany is The litany is that Trump, is that Paxton is the result of the MAGA base demanding that Paxton be put in and Cornyn be kicked out. It's got nothing to do with Trump at all! it's the MAGA base but why? I don't know you have a theory as good as any Are the MAGA... Is the MAGA base that stupid?! No, the MAGA base which lives in Fredericksburg voted for Cornyn

1:22:59 Well, there you go. It's just so now that even that theory doesn't make any sense then no So I don't know why I'm trying to tell you that he's in the president's face all day long because he's in the face office And he's running around they're doing all kinds of stuff. Okay? So does so let me think of it and possibly this being it because I've worked in organizations where you are like as a writer for example You're not in the office, but there's some conniver in the office trying to get your job. Well there you go! That's as good as anything I can come up with... And they end up getting your job because you're not in the office that defends yourself. Mm-hmm yeah

1:23:44 But again, that's terrible. But yeah and I am not a bad management on Trump sport I'm not I'm not a Paxton fan as someone's in his ear about Paxton Nobody likes Paxton. That's the reason I think I'm asking this he seems to be disliked by the Texans Yes Yeah, man There's this there's just I can't tell this story on the air but would has this is he packs its Paxton came to our church and a couple weeks ago. And I can't tell you, but...I just can't tell you on the air. But I will tell you off-the-air but there's— I have reasons to not like this guy because he swarmy and and i think you don't even need to meet him to know that. He swarmy Swarmy or smarmy? Yeah both. Schmarmy, schwarmy

1:24:49 Icky for me. I think it's some sort of me icky is yeah Yeah, creepy creepy there you go creepy creepy But he has a lot of political power so and I don't know why but Sorry, I've been sworn to secrecy on this one okay? It's no problem that happens Let me switch topics for a second because this is an interesting story. It comes across as a problem, and I think it is. This is the Trump blind trust so-called blind trust. Yeah this is great! Here's MS Now Okay I think you're going to want to take a deep breath before this one because we got President Trump's financial transactions What?

1:25:41 I'm taking a deep breath. It's MS Now, this is how they talk. They're doing podcasts on television. This year and it is stunning his filing with the US Office of Government Ethics show that he has done more than 3 700 stock trades many of those trades with companies that this administration is doing business with and if you're wondering I don't know I don't trade stocks is that a lot? Steve Ratner, who you know from Morning Joe. He's a professional investor said in his decades and decades of investing he doesn't think he's done that many trades in total and some of the major ones were trades in the tech sector I'm talking Microsoft Amazon Meta Nvidia just to name a few why is that so notable because I know this The president has been spending any enormous amount

1:26:29 With these companies, with these CEOs. Last week alone when he went to China who was there? Tim Cook Apple CEO Jensen Wang NVIDIA CEO and the timing of these trades is raising some major red flags Oh yeah So here's Rachel Maddow version of it and then I will give you my best deconstruction Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally quote go out and buy a Dell computer. Then in March he buys up a whole bunch of stock at a company called Thermo Fisher repeated purchases of Thermo Fisher Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock

1:27:11 And then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit. And on this presidential visit to Thermo Fisher, he praises the company repeatedly as an incredible company. He says—as president!—that he wants other pharmaceutical companies to start working with Thermo Fisher. He buys their stock, and then he goes out and boosts the company as president. Legum also notes that same day March 11th — same days the Thermo Fisher visit That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim Cook for praise! Apple a great company Then after that Trump buys between 50-100 thousand dollars of Micron stock

1:27:58 Okay, between $1500 and a hundred thousand dollars in Micron stock. The very next day he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them, Micron it's one of the hottest companies! Then it's Palantir, CNBC reporting. Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock that he gets on true social and praises Palantir technologies great capabilities and equipment. He literally even posted the stock ticker abbreviation for Palantir right after he bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of their stock and got online to boost it, giving people the stock ticker abbreviation to make it easier for them to go buy some Palantir. To boost the value of the stock he just bought before he said this online." Okay so Rachel of course gives us no analysis

1:28:50 By the way, he's buying this stock high. Well here are my observations first of all I think it was Eric Trump who said it's in a blind trust and it's not It is a revocable trust and the two Trump brothers are completely in charge of it so they can buy and sell its not blind they can do whatever they want now You'd have to think they'll be really, really, really stupid... ...to be taking insider information. And I agree if you look at the trades it's not like he's buying them at the bottom and then hyping them up But the key is 3700 trades That's HFT They've got an algo running It's high frequency trading They're not in charge of anything They're running an algo for this stuff

1:29:48 3,700 trade... ask Horowitz. I'm sure he'll tell you that has to be high frequency trading So they're just letting some algo run based upon, I don't know Twitter? That's what you do when you have that kind of money Yes! Exactly So, they're trying to make it look like there's all kinds of insider trading and everything is all wishy-washy. But I don't think so! I think they just let an algo run because that's what family offices do. They just run the algo. And that thing buys and sells a hundred times a day up and down taking a couple of pennies in each direction of the trade. That's how it works. That's the buried lead here

1:30:30 That's that's not very glee. I love so I love saying jargon whoo yeah, but then this really This this story I think is a problem We turn now to the dark world of online betting markets that allow bets on virtually any news event For a small group of traders the war with Iran has been a windfall On the night of February 27, 16 bets on the trading platform known as PolyMarket made $100,000 each for accurately predicting when the U.S. would strike Iran. Soon after one trader made over half a million dollars betting that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be toppled moments before he was assassinated by Israeli forces

1:31:13 The same surge was seen in oil futures trading as well. Right before President Trump announced a temporary ceasefire with Iran on March 7th, traders bet $950 million that oil prices would drop which they did. On the same day 50 poly market accounts placed bets that the US and Iran would reach a ceasefire before Trump announced it on social media Overall, traders have placed over a billion dollars in perfectly timed wagers relating to the Iran war. A recent analysis by the BBC of online bets placed throughout President Trump's second term found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours or sometimes minutes before a social media post or media statement from President Trump was made public.

1:32:00 The timing of these bets and the huge windfalls they've created are raising concerns of possible insider trading. Prediction markets and platforms like PolyMarket and its biggest competitor, Kalshi, are governed by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission or the CFTC This means they can avoid state-level restrictions in place for traditional gambling and sports betting today. A growing number of states are trying to stop this, but the Trump administration has pushed back. Trump's son Donald Trump Jr., has advisory roles in both Polymarket and Kalshi. Yeah he should get off those boards! That's a really bad look

1:32:42 I agree. That's a very bad look Yeah, this is there some guy some soldier was busted and yeah, and it's been a lot of Hanky-panky but this whole thing is ripe for it We've talked about this before as a prop bets. Yes, yeah but if you're the president's son and I do not think he is intellectually the same as the president, you know... He's schwarmy! There it is again in fact this is how schwarmy they are. Hold on where is it? Schwarmy. Schwarmy. Schwarmy there's no such word. What is the word? What does the word mean? Schmarmy. Schmarmy?!

1:33:21 Yeah. It doesn't sound right, smarmy? So finally this is... I love our MAGA women here the women of Fredericksburg but I know several women Who had pre-ordered this months and months ago, they were so excited about getting it and finally is here! Gold casing. A flag stamped on the back This long awaited T1 phone from Trump Mobile is finally here It was in June last year that the President's sons announced a bold new venture Today we're here to introduce Trump Mobile. The phone marketed as a patriotic alternative to big tech and promised as an American made phone, Trump Mobile said the phone would be released in August NBC News put down the $100 deposit that same month but nine months passed with 12 phone calls and countless emails to the company but one day after this report last week

1:34:16 Here we are in May of 2026 and there appears to be no sign of it. Someone on behalf of Trump Mobile contacted me and said devices were going out to the media. They're coming! Okay, here it is...here is a long-awaited Trump mobile phone The phone is taller than an iPhone 17 and comes with 512 gigabytes of storage at a relatively cheap $499 which the company says is promotional pricing. Truth social Pre-installed on the phone like any other phone it can make calls send text some wide angles and takes pretty good photos, too The phone looks different from how it was originally advertised the original language on the website said the phone would be made in the USA Language that has since been scrubbed from the website now saying American proud design with an American flag that has 11 stripes

1:35:07 Experts say the phone resembles a phone made in Taiwan. Representatives for Trump Mobile did not respond to questions about whether the phone is made in the US, and The White House did not confirm if President Trump himself is using the phone bearing his name. It's a piece of crap! I love the 11 stripes on the flag that's my favorite That you know some dude in China went Oh, let's do this. That'll be hilarious. Yeah, yeah... Wait there is too many stripes- There is no room for all these stripes. You can't fit all these stripes! And it is a reference of another president's phone. Everybody in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phones! Keep Obama in President you know? He gave us the f***ing- Oh man what a canard this phone is It's a piece of crap Android. It's not good

1:35:54 Yeah, but it's gold. I'm looking at a picture of it now It's gold man is gold looks like every other phone So we miss this General Patton on the down-low Scott Besant was at the G7 Paris meeting and he laid down the law man He is going after terror financing. And I completely missed this, but here's a report about it. US Treasury Secretary Scott Besson called on allies to more forcefully disrupt Iran's financing networks and said the treasury would scrub its sanctions list of outdated designations to make it easier for financial institutions to root out the most sophisticated terrorist financing schemes

1:36:46 In remarks prepared for delivery at an anti-terrorism financing conference after G7 finance leaders met in Paris, Besson said that participants needed to stand with us in full measure against Iran. Besent said that will require their European partners to join the United States in taking action against Iran by designating its financiers, unmasking its shell and front companies shuttering its bank branches and dismantling it's proxies. As the Trump administration tries to pressure Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to unlock vital oil flows disrupted by US-Israeli attacks on Iran

1:37:28 The US Treasury has stepped up its sanctions efforts through a program dubbed Economic Fury. It aims to disrupt Iran's shadow banking networks and has frozen nearly half-a-billion dollars worth of cryptocurrency linked to Iran's regime Most U.S. Treasury sanctions are imposed on individuals, companies and other entities that are added to its specially designated nationals list which contains tens of thousands of designees that are cut off from the dollar-based financial system and see assets frozen. Anyone that transacts with designated entities risks being sanctioned themselves, he said the most effective sanctions are aggressive and targeted as

1:38:13 and those left in place too long could create unintended consequences. He said the Treasury's approach would maintain agility to maximize effectiveness, and cited examples of easing sanctions on Syria and Venezuela after regime changes as examples of how the Trump administration intends to adjust sanctions." So what Besant didn't say but what is in the anti-terrorism document from uh from the White House I believe is that all of this nonsense, all terrorism is ultimately funded through the Muslim Brotherhood. And we know... Which was a creation of British MI6 Exactly So if you look at the OFAC list This is the Office for Foreign Assets Control I think it is? What is it? OFAC? Think that's what it is Listen to the companies that are on the lists and now being sanctioned and blocked

1:39:11 We have London domiciled tanker operators, Science Obedient International Company Limited. These are all UK companies. Double In, Global Fortune Shipping Ltd., Luna Luster, all British companies. Sparkling Courage Limited UK company Gala Rose chemical oil tankers UK company All UK companies This is I think this is more significant than people realize You know they're cutting off these networks and it all goes back to the Brits All of it now. I have a question mm-hmm

1:39:56 In the report he says it is going to defroze Crypto, how do you freeze crypto? I thought crypto was impossible to freeze. Well that's because they're using a general term Iran funny enough had USD at USD T They had tether tether stable coin which is completely controllable and that's what he sees just click this lock it up and So that's not gonna encourage its use oh, no But this is not for if you want to do something illegal. You go to the to the Mac Daddy you go to a Bitcoin You don't go to Tether Well why didn't they go to Bitcoin who says they didn't it's very hard to prove If you ask the Bitcoin community all yeah, it's all Bitcoin okay? I'm sure No, but they had part of that toll system was stable coin remember we had the clip

1:40:52 when they were saying, oh you gotta come by us and go through the toll and they were charging stablecoin which is really easy to get. you know, then you don't have to go through a lot of know your customer KYC stuff. But I guess the Iranians... The guard didn't think about the fact that the general patent on the download could just grab that which is exactly what you can do with stablecoin but stablecoin is not for us. Stablecoin's for the rest of the world. Stablecoin is for Venezuela, for South America it's going to be for Cuba It'll be for Iran eventually anyone who wants to have

1:41:28 an American dollar in a digital dollar will be able to get stablecoin. And then you play along, otherwise we take your stablecoin." I'm under no illusion that's what they're doing here but it's not... I mean to say it's crypto is just dumb reporting. Huh? Yeah. Dumb reporting? Go figure! Whoever thought that would happen?! Dumb reporting exactly But so if you, so people are saying this war is not good for America. I disagree! It's good to shut down all of this financing Look all the shipping has run out of the UK Screw that we should be running that I don't know if we're good at it but we're gonna find out...I heard from a guy yesterday that I met That I thought Lloyd's of London was just like one building and a whole bunch of people writing up insurance policies

1:42:28 That's not true. It is a trading floor, did you know this? I always thought it was. Yeah, it's a trading floor and... It has always been that way there is a movie about it Oh what is the movie? I'd love to see that! I think its called Lloyds in London It was like done in the 30s or so I think And they have all these different reinsurers All with little booth on this trading floor and they're all bidding Just like a stock market Yeah yeah I didn't realize that I thought it was just one big company That writes insurance policies Or re-insurance You know every so often you have Rod Stewart You know, or some famous person being the underwriter for some insurance policy because they were in the... They did the trade to get it. Oh! Well that's interesting I didn't know that. I like it Alright what else you got? On the market crashes Well Putin went to China I guess I got those clips Well of course he went to China because this is The Arc America Russia China We're gearing up to kill The Old World Order The dying world order man

1:43:38 I do want to play, we need to play that but i also want to play the China listening devices clip. Okay here we go Before a single American boarded Air Force One to leave Beijing staff lined up at the door with trash bins and everything China had given the US delegation went straight into them credentials burner phones delegation pins lanyards anything and everything handed out by Chinese officials during the summit A pool reporter on the scene watched it happen in real time and reported, nothing from China was allowed on the plane. Not a phone not a pin not a piece of paper let that image sink in for a moment the most powerful delegation in the world just spent days in Beijing negotiating hundreds of billions of dollars in deals smiling for cameras shaking hands sitting across the table from Xi Jinping

1:44:28 And the moment it was over, every single item China had touched went into a trash bin on the tarmac. This is not an accident! This is not overcaution!" This is the United States government operating on a doctrine that has been earned through decades of documented Chinese espionage. We already reported how the entire delegation arrived with burner devices—no personal phones, no personal laptops. We reported how U.S federal guidelines prohibited plugging into any Chinese USB port or charging station We reported how every Wi-Fi network in China was treated as compromised. Now we know the protocols held all the way to the last second on Chinese soil because here is what China does, they embed tracking technology in delegation pins They install malware on phones through standard charging cables They use hotel room key cards with embedded chips to map movement patterns

1:45:25 They slip listening devices into gift bags and commemorative items. They have turned ordinary objects into intelligence collection tools so effectively that American counterintelligence agencies now treat every Chinese origin item as a potential threat by default." Yeah! Could I do? Yeah, this is why Megyn Kelly hates China so much. Do they spy on her? Nah but she and... what's his face Glenn Greenwald. We're going on and on and on about here I have the clip as far as the students it's 500,000 students they come good students I could tell them

1:46:13 I don't want any students, it's a very insulting thing to say to a country. They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China? I frankly think that it is good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture many of them wanna stay here. Glenn, who wants that? Literally what American wants. It was 300,000 Chinese students like two months ago now it's 500,000 and he goes on to say many of them will stay here we don't want that either we don't want them taking up our university slots at our most prestigious universities and we definitely don't want them staying nor do we want them buying up American farmland

1:46:56 Well, there are some Americans who actually do want that. Particularly Wall Street and the corporate community they love the relate they're in bed with the Chinese and always have been on and on what I said please yeah on and on about the Chinese when I was a kid then I went to Cal Berkeley The place was filled with Chinese back then that was before the Chinese took over the place Yeah And bully for them Because the jobs are not going to be in university. You're not gonna need a piece of paper to get a really good job anymore How do you get a good job? Well, I will give you any news from CNBC Tyson's job doesn't require a four-year degree

1:47:48 And as AI drives demand for data centers and the fiber networks that connect them, AT&T CEO John Stinke told my colleague Steve Leisman in an exclusive interview that the company needs more workers like Kyson. You need something to transport all that traffic that has to get in and out of those data centers, and that's fiber infrastructure. We're building fiber right now faster than anybody else in this country that is going to be essential to the AI generation We brought in probably 10,000 technicians over the last three years that are the front side of this trying to make sure everybody's connected and has access to our fiber and wireless networks. Fiber! Do a 3,000 this year we find that we've got to go out and find them train them and send them to come in it's not like we're growing them on trees in the United States It sounds like you're saying there's sort of a misalignment between what they structure is to provide

1:48:38 and train employees, and what business especially AT&T needs. Yeah I probably have a point of view personally that as a society within the United States we put a huge premium in value socially on a college degree yet were short HVAC repair people were short electricians technicians who can go into work on fiber like we talk about We maybe missed the mark in some places Listen to your Uncle Adam and Uncle John Don't go to college Whatever you do don't go to college is another clip so when he got to college What made you realize that it wasn't working? Oh, there's some kid who dropped out smart for you. I was miserable

1:49:18 Kyson graduated high school with a 3.89 GPA. He immediately enrolled at Wright State University and planned to study either math or engineering After about three semesters, he dropped out I was in the same four walls every day. Did not want to be there, I wanted more for myself. I was hungry to start life and i felt like I was extremely stagnant. I was in accounting...I loved my professor! I really do. I mean looking back I feel bad but there's a guy that sitting behind me and we had just finished up midterm in the other class so both were like miserable. I said are you ready for accounting? He said nope, im going get lunch And I had never ever ever skipped class and I said

1:50:14 I'm getting lunch with you. And I knew, my priority is not school After Kyson left college, he worked a mix of odd jobs. Retail, coaching wrestling, laying solar panels and he even rode bulls for a little while. I woke up one morning said I'm spending so many hours working and i'm not making enough And I wanted a career. I wanted to be somewhere where I could move up in the company AT&T was familiar to Kyson because his dad and grandfather worked there But when he applied He didn't tell his father It's pride I didn't want any strings pulled. I wanted my voice to speak for itself, I didn't want to be Jason's son or Cooks boy, I wanted to be Kyson." Yeah man, it was a jobs program for AT&T they bought time on CNBC but there are hundreds of thousands of job that are going to go unfilled and let all the Chinese go to the universities...it's fine

1:51:12 And the universities don't seem too high on AI these days either. You've heard the commencement speeches? No, I have not heard the commencement speeches. Here's Gloria- there are a lot of them and i'm still waiting to do a commencement speech so that I can become an honorary professor I mean, they don't give you that. They don't make honorary professors. They give you a Ph of fake PhD. You can get that from the show if you wait long enough. From no agenda who needs to go to college? Gloria Caulfield is a real estate person in Florida she spoke at UCF. The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution

1:51:59 We've got a bipolar topic here I see yes, she got booed and there was somebody else that got boot off the stage recently Eric Schmidt Yeah, it was Eric Schmidt. He did this a pull the same here It is last December Time magazine selected its person of the year for 2025 and it was this time. It was the architects of artificial intelligence interesting So today we stand on this edge of another technological transformation one that will be larger faster and more consequential than what came before

1:52:53 It will touch every profession, every classroom, every hospital Every laboratory. Every person and every relationship you have I know what many of you are feeling about that! I can hear you! There is a fear... Boo People were walking out on him which he's not used to That dude He's not used to that Um Eric Schmidt's done okay for himself. Oh, he's done very well for himself! It was fantastic I mean i knew him when he was at Novell and uh... He really his personality has changed quite a bit His looks changed, I think he did some work done

1:53:44 Didn't he get a really young girlfriend slash wife? He has a girlfriend and he's still married. He is one of those guys who can pull that off, I don't know how you did that but... Magic! So obviously he is sales guy underneath it all. Baby this is good for you Trust me this is good for you So then we had Google I.O., the big presentation, Google I.O.. And Google has seen the light. Google is going to create their own version of CloudBot but it doesn't run on your computer no no no it runs on Google Cloud...I got a couple of clips this is too funny particularly excited for what we are bringing right into the Gemini app. Hey if were gonna get rid of Indians start with this guy Particularly excited for what we are bringing right into the Gemini app

1:54:32 Introducing Gemini Spark. Spark! It's your... Come on man, you used to be a tech reporter this should be exciting to you it's Gemini Spark I was always the tech reporter who is skeptical well yeah i'm with ya on this It's your personal AI agent that helps you navigate your digital life. Taking action... What do you think it does when it helps you navigate? Oh, I probably sets your calendar wakes you up in the morning and looks at your to-do list and then makes another list for ya that you won't get done And then it tells you that you have an appointment at 2 o'clock On your behalf and under your direction

1:55:17 It runs on dedicated virtual machines on Google Cloud. And it's 24-7 And yes, you can close your laptop. Thanks Sundar! It's great to see everyone and let me show you how Spark works with... Oh get ready John! Email your chats and grabs the most important information that you need for... By step look at all these steps all the time it saves you going through and again work across the various skills You can see creates right in Google Slides perfectly integrated and you can see it even pulls in things like our giant bounce house That's gonna be in the cul-de-sac Now all of this is happening... The bounce house? You caught it. So the AI, Google Spark is so smart It's going to do something very important with your bounce house that you have planned for your backyard In the cul-de-sac Pulling things like our giant bounce house that's gonna be in the cul de sac

1:56:15 Now, all of this is happening in the background and under my control. And what's amazing is Jim and I can even go a step further and pull out things like your neighborhood homeowners association won't let you set this up before Friday afternoon at June 5th! That's pulling from a file on my Google Drive. So it's incredibly helpful about how it pulls that together. This is perhaps the lamest example you could ever come up with. Because we all live on the cul-de-sac and we all have a giant bounce house, but he has... And we all have a homeowners association that won't let you set up a bounce house until five o'clock! You need to move out of that homeowner's association neighborhood But here here's a more practical example. And Spark is amazing at just brain dumping things on your mind

1:57:04 If you're super busy, it's almost like you can just throw tasks over your shoulder. Super busy? It is super busy man! You can throw stuff over your shoulder I'm telling ya listen to this... If you're super busy it's almost like you can just throw tasks over your shoulder Spark will catch them and then run with them Okay So watch this Watch Start a few threads for me The first one find all the upcoming meetings with Sundar and turn them all hot pink so that I don't miss them The second one, last night I met our new neighbor John. Write a note to him and his family invite them to our block party because they weren't on our list originally The third one create a document with the top things my wife and i need to do for the kids before the end of the school year Categorize it by deadline and priority make it easy to digest. I don't want to miss anything

1:57:52 Alright, so we'll send that in and you can see at the speed of my voice It's taking that one task and it will capture all of that context as fast as I can talk. It starts out As a single thread here And in the background is actually going to go through and break those down into individual tasks Now I can just put my phone away and get on with my day and spark works in the background for me We'll check in later See how its doing Wow How do you check in? I don't know, but it's going to happen later. Yes! Wonderful... wonderful You can see this is one of the first times we've been able to put a phone down and let it keep working on the IO stage It's great Because we're prioritizing safety We're rolling No no it's not on the phone It's in the cloud So so so you put your phone down you didn't put your phone down you hit the phone with a hammer doesn't make any difference That's right It's working in the cloud It's in the cloud Who are they kidding

1:58:46 You got to put your phone down Now listen to what this is gonna cost in the future. You'll be able to create new docs and edit them directly all with your voice Docs live is rolling out for pro and ultra subscribers this summer And the same powerful voice capabilities will come to Gmail and Google keep dent, too Incredible to see the pace of innovation rolling out across our products Supporting all of this at scale for our users while also serving enterprises and developers around the world requires massive investments in infrastructure. And we've been investing for today and for the future In 2022, We were spending 31 billion dollars annually in CapEx This year we expect that number to be about six times that approximately 180-190 billion dollars

1:59:44 $190 billion dollars on turning your emails pink in the cloud. This doesn't seem right! It doesn't seem right... This is not the future of computing, I can tell you that right now That's not how it's gonna go down Not with that kind of money That is insane Anyway It's all gonna be on your... Well, you know I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the day for having that insanity on here. You want do something before we thank some people? Well let me see if i got one last clip here uh the Putin clips but there's nothing really important there

2:00:34 The slush fund clips that's always good for a laugh Elon Musk lost the lawsuit. I'm just wrapping up this the slush fun clip, I like that because first of all everyone's categorizing it as a slush fund for Trump's allies and It's a very interesting deal that the president made with himself by setting up, by saying okay I'll drop my 10 billion dollar lawsuit for the IRS spying on me which arguably is a big deal that they spied or they released his documents.

2:01:14 Yeah, it was. I mean that's a huge deal that's uh...I wish it had happened to me. I don't know if you get 10 billion but you get something out of it if you have suits and boots on the case And then he turns around and says, well I'll do a deal and let's get some money together for people who were... Who got screwed over. Got screwed over an old grandmas that weren't even at the event they got thrown in jail this is horrible situation that nobody wants to discuss so two points one The actual amount of the fund is 1.776 billion dollars, none of the news media really said that...1.8! No they did, they did. Oh they did? Well most of them were at one point eight, one point eight, one point eight. I heard 1776. Not a predominant number and the second thing i know two people personally whose lives were destroyed

2:02:09 The J6 or Jenny, she's hanging on by a thread. Her whole life was destroyed. She got run out of town. She had I think a salon And she was called a terrorist and her entire life was destroyed. Well, hopefully she will see if she gets money! Well, she should and also Luke Coffey. Luke is the guy who had the crutch over his head telling everybody to pray... ...and was arrested for apparently beating cops over their heads with this crutch of which there's no evidence His life was completely destroyed

2:02:48 He's now producing Laura Logan's podcast and just give you an example of what happened to him Wow So we want Luke's aster. We want Luke to get some money, too Absolutely absolutely so but that's not the way they get the money Yeah, but that's not why yeah well unless we play okay? I got three clips then we can play okay Let's get them out of the way this is the first one let's start with the grilling of senator Todd Blanche Senators get Todd Blanch over a slush fund. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch faced bipartisan backlash over the creation of the nearly $2 billion dollar fund The president has set up a slush fund and he literally will get to choose through his hand-picked appointees who gets paid that fund, that is absurd

2:03:35 The president did not set up this fund. It's not a slush fund Asked repeatedly whether those who assaulted police officers on January 6 could be paid Blanche didn't rule it out Do you feel they should get compensation after being convicted of violent acts? My feelings don't matter Senator in my mind, my mind is not limiting to say yes I will commit to this or that At the White House, the Vice President was pressed on the same issue. We're not trying to give money to anybody who attacked a police officer we're trying to compensate people where the book was thrown at them they were mistreated by the legal system The fund was established after president Trump dropped his 10 billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns as part in the settlement the DOJ said today the IRS is

2:04:22 forever barred from prosecuting past or existing audits into the president, his family and the Trump Organization. Do you believe those terms are fair? I think that there are and will be continue to be a lot of questions around that Tonight, some of the police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th tell me if this new anti-weaponization fund is used to pay those who committed the attack it's quote insane and could jeopardize their safety. Tony? Yep well Well, then let's take it to these clips which discuss a little bit about the DOJ-IRS situation. This DOJ IRS forever banned from auditing Trump Tonight in an extraordinary move the Justice Department declared The IRS is quote forever barred and precluded from auditing President Trump his family His oldest sons and their companies or pursuing any claims for past actions

2:05:21 It's part of the unprecedented settlement after President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. The deal was orchestrated by the head of the DOJ, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche who is Trump's former personal attorney. Blanche faced tough questions on Capitol Hill today. You're the president's consigliere? Your perspective is completely wrong, Senator. Respectfully. Well I think the facts will prove me right The president's settlement also creates a nearly 1.8 billion dollar fund taxpayer money to pay for Trump allies or anyone else who claims they were mistreated by the Biden Justice Department. I love all the little gotchas in there tax taxpayer money slush fund allies

2:06:04 It's a group that includes the roughly 600 people charged with obstructing or assaulting police on January 6th. Assaulting police bullcrap! I don't know, they just bring all that back... and bring it all back. Police on January 6th, will individuals who assaulted Capitol Hill police officers be eligible for this fund? Well as explained anybody is just let me know if they're eligible for the fund anybody in this country is eligible to apply If they believe they were victim weapons I think This show Is a victim of this weaponization

2:06:44 Because we had to speak truth to power and were telling everybody that no, that's not true. And people left in a huff and I think it hurt our income and I think we should put in a claim. Talked to Rob. At the White House, I followed up with Vice President J.D. Vance. I assume you're not going to apply? You don't think YOU should get money out of this fund? Of course! So isn't just as easy to say that people who attacked police officers SHOULD NOT get tax payer money from this fund Well look John, we're not trying to give money to anybody who attacked a police officer. We're trying to give money- Not give money! We're trying to compensate people. Give money? We will not give money! Where the book was thrown at them... He screwed up there. We're trying to give money I mean not give money, compensate. Trying to give money to anybody who attacked a

2:07:33 police officer, we're trying to give money not give money. We're trying to compensate people where the book was thrown at them they were mistreated by the legal system. We do have people who are accused of attacking law enforcement officers that doesn't mean that we're gonna completely ignore some of the claims that they're going to make It comes as Republicans are trying to set aside another $1 billion in taxpayer money for President Trump's new ballroom. They say it is for security Back to that $1.8 billion fund, some of which could go to people who attacked the Capitol building on January 6th It's not just Democrats who don't like it Senate Republican leader John Thune said today quote I am NOT a big fan Yes Here is the president himself explaining the fund But this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated Horribly treated as anti-weaponization They've been weaponized

2:08:31 They've been in some cases imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have, they've gone bankrupt their lives have been destroyed and they turn out to be right I mean it was a terrible period of time in the history of our country and they worked on it. I know the Justice Department has really been working on it very hard there's been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this had been done but these were People that were weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt with corrupt people running it. And they're getting reimbursed for their legal fees and the other things that they had to suffer. Yeah, please? I gotta tell you, I mean, I've seen the damage that did and I'd like to see J6 or Jenny and Luke get some money out of it

2:09:18 Well, let's hope they do us. Hope they put a claim in and oh well I'm Luke. I know Luke has the claim I got to talk to Jenny about it. I'm sure she does it yeah, maybe my part is apart to Rob should help them No that was part two that was your party okay? But I said I have a part three Which is Comey. Former FBI director James Comey faces trial later this summer on charges he threatened President Trump's life The case stems from this Instagram post a year ago A photo of Shell spelling out 8647 Prosecutors say the slang term 86 meant intent to do harm to Mr Trump

2:09:54 the 47th president. It is the second indictment against the former FBI director in one of several investigations and lawsuits involving people President Trump sees as his political enemies. Comey also has a new crime novel out, Red Verdict. It's a legal thriller centered on Russian espionage I spoke with him earlier today Former FBI Director James Comey, welcome to the NewsHour. It's great to be with you I want to start with your reaction to this DOJ announcement today The department says it is creating a nearly 1.8 billion dollar fund taxpayer money to compensate Trump allies who say they were unfairly targeted by the previous administration What kind of precedent does this set?

2:10:35 I've never heard of it and at first thought it was an onion piece when I read about it. I don't know how it will work, and how it will be administered. Kiddingly want to know do I get to apply? Do all victims of weaponization get to ask for attorney's fees? We'll have to see Would you submit a claim I might, maybe just to be humorous about the whole thing but if it's for people who've been targeted for reasons other than normal standards of the Department of Justice mmm...I'm ready get in line. Now you have to look this clip up this clip is called call me on Trump January 2021 Call Me On Trump

2:11:16 No, let me set it up. I don't see it John Comey is a comey on Trump Yeah, Kate comey why on Trump as the name of it? I'm not seeing it It's from three weeks ago that I believe you but I am I Don't have any homey on Trump Comey on MSNBC about Trump? No, it says comey. Well that might be that actually might be the same clip What are the principal points of danger within the Justice Department if there's another trump presidency given his nature Given what you know about him

2:11:56 He is a threat to the rule of law in America. That's, to me that what this election is about not about policy differences it's about what kind of country are we going to be if he has the ability smarter than he was last time to use the power of the Department of Justice and FBI target his enemies especially The rule of law in America will change in way we haven't seen our lifetime When you say target his enemies how would do that? Well, I think the first thing he would do is he would express it in his first term as a wish. I want people to go after so-and-so. I want people to go after Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI In his second term, he would go a step further —I'm highly confident— and say, I want him criminally investigated And he was close to the bottom of the barrel That's not it? Nah, you can't find it because it IS in the pile

2:12:47 Let me see, yeah it says Comey. Anyway in 2021 he was the worst. I found it! Okay let me tell you what this clip is... This is an example of pre-... of using the Justice Department as a weapon. Convict him, bar him from future service have the prosecutors the local prosecutors in New York pursue him for the fraudster that he was before he ever became president lock him up for the garden variety flaunts he did there but don't give him that center stage that dominant role in our national life

2:13:30 just down the street where Joe Biden is trying to heal this nation. Yeah, lock him up! Lock him up yeah Yeah, that's reasonable. It's also fake and gay the guys are creep I mean, I think that they're this thing about the 86 47 is a bit much but you know They're they're sending a message And with that as it is a value for value program where we haven't heard an ad in the past two hours Have you heard her now? You haven't heard any ads No That's because we have chosen a different path

2:14:07 And I would like to thank you, John C. Dvorak for your courage You are the man who put the sea in the Castro indictment Ladies and gentlemen say hello my friend The other and one, the only Mr. JOHN C. DVORAK! Well good morning to you Mr Adam Cray Good morning to all ships that see boots on their ground feet and air subs In the water and all the dames and knights of the earth In the morning to the trolls in the troll room 1329 It's vacation time It's a holiday coming up. Yep the holiday coming up, that's how it always rolls That's what happens and of course we have VBS which I just learned today is the thing VBS What VBS VBS? Yes vacation Bible school had no idea if they could people are in VBS Vacation Bible School so this one was just go to okay once let's go to what Bible School No, its vacation Bible School. What's the difference you go do it on vacation?

2:15:09 Why don't you just go to it? Well, maybe they do but then they do it during the vacation too. I don't know I'm just telling you that people are out because of VBS is what I'm hearing like I can't make a man VBS. I don't know So as I said before we are value for value operated which means we We only ask you to send us some value when you feel you have received value from the program Now I'm, see the people are already trying. It's typically in the summer man! I'm telling you people have not been able to do meetings with me because their kids are in VBS or they're teaching VBS So Value for Value we started this over 18 years ago We think that it is the best way to run an honest podcast particularly when it is regarding news and current events and culture and politics so you get the true honesty from us

2:16:03 And it shows because a lot of people get mad and go away, and we just keep doing the same thing. So if donations are down that's just because you didn't feel like you got any value from it but it turns out a lot of people continue to find value in our analysis. You can support us with your time your talent or your treasure We thank everybody who supports us financially with $50 or above and that is a wonderful way to show value, to return the value that you got from the program. Or you can do things like, I don't know, prompt away make some artwork. And this is valuable for a couple of reasons Not only is a good piece of art valuable for us to use To promote the show as the album art But also it tells us what's hitting a nerve When we did something that you liked That you found very valuable and It was fun to watch

2:16:58 Fun to see. Well, first we should probably thank the person whose art we actually used and that was for our episode 1869 We titled that Trollery This was controversial on the inside of the program I wasn't too sure about it Blue Acorn created a curry in Dvorak choke me chili cook-off With the OG Catholic in action, the Pope with his little CIA hat and his CIA insignia. And two babes making the chili. John wanted it and I succumbed to it

2:17:35 But it was fun to see people really picking up on dead mice, mice being mutilated in glue traps. The blueberry got a lot of traction! A lot of blueberry art for some reason was interesting and what else did we see John? Just nothing good. We had, uh... You know what? It's like there are these new models that people are using and again they're over-complicating things. It's too much! It's just it's too busy, there is too much going on. I'm not even sure if we see anything fantastic yet and so now it's all babes See this is what happens This is...I should have mentioned this to you when you choose a piece of art with babes then everyone thinks oh yeah that's how I'll get my art chosen need do more babes Yeah which they don't do babes that much looking at the last few pieces

2:18:38 How many have babes? The first one, two skip three No, the numbnuts has no babes. Oh oh no but I'm saying since we chose babes on the past one... Yeah look at it! I mean yeah I am talking about pieces that are actually picked with babies We have numbnuts and a mouse And then we have a chew with mice all over it black and white cartoony thing Then a bunch of pills that show insanity I'd say once a month. I know, but the psyche of Gitmo Nation, our producers is... Oh, babes! I just need to do babes

2:19:17 And now this is the way it is with everything. It's like, follow the leader. Oh! Well that worked then let's do it again. Probably right so yeah so that's probably not going to work this time but thank you very much No babes no two in a row babes. Definitely not Thank You Mary much Blue Acorn We appreciate you. We support all, we appreciate all kinds of support people do meetups. Uh, we've got people sending in clips who had a great boots on the ground earlier. All of this is incredibly appreciated as the value for value model if you want to support us financially, you can do that by going to no agenda donations.com and that is where we thank the following people uh, and the way it works is $200 or above between 200 and $300

2:20:05 Not only are you guaranteed that we will read your note, but also you will get an associate executive producer credit Which is good anywhere Hollywood credits are recognized including IMDB calm go ahead and see some of the big Hollywood names in there along with thousands of others $300 or more executive producer credit And we will read your note.

These two geniuses nailed it again She starts in American and ends up in English. These two geniuses nailed it again Nailed this again? Okay we nailed this again then. What is the other one? Better podcast Is there a better podcast than this I think not. Alright, well... We know what the answer is! Of course there's none better than that! Hey time for the tip of the day! All right, so this is kind of a has a double effect because it also plugs a veterans operation veteran owned. Very nice half blind rabbits the name of the company and they make something called screw lube to I'm sorry screw lube and it's a two ounce wood screw container of this was a screw a loo loop for screws that's better than beeswax It's better than soap

2:40:36 It's good for if you got like a three or four inch screw that you gotta put into some wood. You want screw lube, wood screw lubricant from Half Blind Rabbit and you can find it on Amazon is about nine bucks and it's superior product to something everyone should have for their... The pros use it. I've screwed a lot I cannot ever recall using screw lube. Is that something you're supposed to use for screwing? If you're going into wood, yeah and it's a if you go in say you got more than an inch or two inches they gotta go in two inches You have to back it off and push it back in and back it off No, you just use this stuff goes straight through And it doesn't stain then it doesn't cause issues It doesn't cause problems Yeah

2:41:24 I can hear about five end of show mixes coming from this very conversation Give me the name of the product again John so people can go find a new lube screw lube everybody there you go another fine tip from Johns either for I could find them all at no agenda fun calm And sometimes Adam created by David Rennie There you go, everybody. I am off to the races after this production ends We're on our way to Austin and on our way to Nashville Look out, Nashville! We're coming your way And even though i'm out there having a good time at the festival... ...I will be ripping myself away from my wife and friends to do this podcast for you On Sunday? And I look forward to it because I love doing this show Do you love doing the show, John?

2:42:22 Yes, and that's why according to Elon Musk the show is so good. Elon Musk said that? He got it quite... I'll clip it he's going on about how some of his cars are good because they're made with love and love comes across To the eventual customer And they think it's great because of that if you hate doing this show It would come across as hate Oh no well it comes all about the love baby Yeah, there you go.

2:44:54 Adam's got the theory and it's a doozy folks Trumps in the big chair pulling every strange joke Two mega heavyweights, Marco and young JD He's running the reality show no votes no mercy It's Rubio's Nigerian day How you gonna deal with Lagos boy? Scams and oil, and diplomats Who handles it best? Trump's watching from the couch Deciding who's next

2:47:21 There's a woody mystery waking us up A sudden sensation we can't really stop It bypasses logic, it bypasses brain A wild momentum that's hard to explain The world tries to hide it, but nature prevails In locker room stories and locker room tales Caught in a sudden romance We know that it's physically magic Someday we'll find it

2:48:04 The erection connection, the horny, the hopeful and me. It starts with a fondle, spark in the dark, biological walk in the park From morning till evening, the energy grows and where it will lead us. Everybody knows an unstoppable force that is ready to climb It happens to everyone time after time Caught in a cycle

2:48:49 Romance We know that it's physically magic Someday we'll find it The erection connection The horny, the hopeful and me Takes some no agenda wisdom dear You have to learn to laugh at fear And then it will all become clear there was never anything to even be afraid of oh, that's tough They just made it up stop corrupting your mind. Stop wasting your time and listen to no

2:49:33 It's a philosophy and it's just like it ought to be How many shots until you see? How many mask-ups will it take To wake you up, to see That being woke is a practical joke A backroom bank of cigar smoke And cane tapping blokes Value for value, see works itself out naturally As far as who should and who should not be listening Those who should do And they give time and treasure to come to conclude That giving to like-minded people feels good too That's true

2:50:22 The best podcast in the universe! MoFo. Dvorak dot org slash N A Is there a better podcast than this? I think not
