About this episode

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant faces intense scrutiny following a series of televised appearances intended to stabilize the administration's economic messaging. While Besant outlined a new federal savings program for children and addressed nuclear enrichment in Iran, critics within the media and the administration are already comparing his screen presence unfavorably to JD Vance. The tension comes as Donald Trump signals a potential federal gas tax holiday ahead of July 4th and asserts that the United States will maintain free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, even at the risk of diplomatic friction with Oman.

Domestic policy shifts rapidly as the CDC and Acting Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya mobilize airport screenings in Atlanta and Houston to combat a rising Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Simultaneously, the Trump administration reports the recovery of $29 billion in EPA funding previously allocated by the Biden-Harris administration, including a controversial $2 billion grant linked to Stacey Abrams. In the legal sphere, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secures a major primary victory over John Cornyn, setting up a high-stakes November clash against James Tallarico, who has characterized the incumbent as the nation's most corrupt politician.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has committed $20 billion toward a permanent lunar base by 2032, though the feasibility of a Helium-3 economy remains a point of contention. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the absurdity of Tai Chi walking advertisements and the decline of general knowledge among social media influencers. The broadcast concludes with a deep dive into the 1965 Dragnet prophecy regarding marijuana legalization and a musical tribute to the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, Tai Chi Walking Ads

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the broadcast from the Texas Hill Country and Refinery Row. They discuss the absurdity of "Tai Chi walking" advertisements appearing in social media feeds, which Curry avoids by paying for YouTube Premium. The conversation shifts to Donald Trump's rotation of spokespeople, noting that Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is filling in for Carolyn Leavitt on major news networks.

CHAPTER 02 / 54 Discussion

Scott Besant Screen Test, JD Vance Comparison

The hosts critique Scott Besant's performance during his televised appearances, comparing his "halting" style unfavorably to JD Vance's more pleasant and likable demeanor. They suggest Besant is failing his "screen test" for the administration's media rotation. Technical network issues briefly interrupt the discussion as they attempt to monitor the live quad-screen feed of various news networks.

scott besant· jd vance· fox news· cnn· treasury secretary

02:24 No, he's too glib. The thing about Vance is he's very pleasant He's got a nice smile Yeah, you know plays to the crowd. He's kind of like wants to be liked yeah Well this is gay What? Gay guys can be funny and entertaining in fact after gay comics may Yes, see right away your network got shut off because you said the G word. You back? Yeah here's what happened this is the network that just disconnected so then I went back to the other one and then you were bitching because it doesn't work and so they're back on it again but this happened once before yeah

03:12 I can recall this happening a lot. In the history of the show, it has happened many many many months ago. No, i'm talking about the specific thing. Yes But considering you're in Silicon Valley's backyard, you would think that... That's because it is overused. Everybody's on the network Everyone's on the AI! I'd be better off in Iowa All for yes, the quad screen has finally filled up with General Scott Besant Oh yeah You want to put him on? Yeah, I could probably do that Let's see You know he's not gonna be any good

03:51 Yes, you do. Let's see TV dot... He is too halting. Halting is his style Yeah but it's not a great style No its not You know again as I said before you cut off It would be great if he did campy gay stuff That would be he's not gonna do that.

Scott Besant on Iran, New Trump Savings App

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant discusses Iran's nuclear enrichment and the necessity of free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. He also introduces a new mobile app for "Trump accounts," an IRA-style savings vehicle for children born between 2025 and 2028. The program includes a $1,000 federal donation, though the hosts remain skeptical of Besant's presentation style despite his policy expertise.

scott besant· iran· strait of hormuz· trump accounts· ira savings

04:33 Iran has to turn over their highly enriched uranium. They cannot pursue a nuclear weapon and the Strait of Hormuz, that's your question on energy, has to free transit navigation in the seas as it was before. He can't do it! It is not going to take a bad deal we are going to make a great deal for him. We knew this before he started. How long until we see your signature? next to President Trump's face on a $250 bill. Well, again as Treasury Secretary I have two mandates for U.S. currency Oh he is dying 1000 deaths By the way, I just noticed He has this... His mouth in an odd way resembles that of Elizabeth Warren

05:29 I have to see pictures now. You gotta take a look at it, it's uh... Trump could be- Oh he's boring! Oh no, there's only one thing worse than not having the answers is being boring. Yeah he's no good at this. No give him the hook! He's only fair when he's on face to nation Trump should come out now and say Besson you're fired that would be perfect for this You're no good you failed the screen test Goodness gracious So I was the next you'll guess. Yeah, I can always tell you who's gonna be next Rubio Exactly court and Rubio is gonna name well he may be he maybe I don't know He maybe no I don't think so. I think Rubio who is a performer? Yeah will kick ass

06:16 He'll do jokes, he'll do shtick. If he dances extra points! Now you've been about him doing some gay material it would be better if he came out kind of as a Rip Taylor type guy wearing a flamboyant outfit and then doing prop comedy. No more like Carrot Top Well Rip Taylor's the progenitor of Carrot Top. Yeah, but nobody in the universe knows Rip Taylor anymore... Nobody! And he used to say, Rip Taylor should throw confetti in the air that'd be a good bit Oh my goodness. Now he's showing the app, he's showing the app. Oh no! Yeah this was... Give him the hook. This was the uh you know actually have the I think get that dancing guy out there and have him pull it off here's a clip about the app And starting today parents who set up Trump accounts for their children can download a new app to manage the account Treasury Secretary Scott Besant says six million children

07:17 are already signed up for the IRA style savings accounts. Parents and loved ones can contribute up to $5,000 a year into the account for children born in 2025 through 2028 federal government will donate an additional thousand dollars. The accounts don't officially open until July 4th. You know what? It's really too bad I mean, and really...I'm a big Scott Besson fan. And he has done some great snide jokes when he was at the World Economic Forum He kind of lays into them But this is not his wheelhouse In this app you should just say Girlfriend let me tell you about this app Just throw in a girlfriend Anything! Anything but this You can't do that That would never happen I know I am just trying to help him out The press corps will go... I think throwing confetti in the air would do it How's that for an answer?

Ebola Media Cycles, AI Parody Song Limitations

A retrospective medley highlights how the media has used Ebola to create public fear multiple times over the last 18 years. The discussion touches on how AI technology currently refuses to generate parody songs due to copyright and legal safeguards. This is contrasted with the "Weird Al" Yankovic era of creative, human-made musical satire.

08:13 So I was thinking about AI and stuff, and how it's changed production. How it's changed our lives. How its change the art. How it's changed the end of show mixes One of our producers reminded me... Ebola has been in our lives several times I think it was two previous times we've had Ebola pop up and be scary, and the media being filled with it. Think it's two in the past 18 years? Yeah this is what you do! This is the third time... And I'm reminded about how creative everybody was so I put together a short little medley

08:55 And in the black trunks, weighing in at over 3,000 troops. The ISIS of virus! The killer from Nigeria... Ebola! I said Ebola's back in town. Ebola's back in town. Ebola's back in town.

09:45 I'm going to quarantine myself. Wearing a mask, i've already got it in place for my family. Yeah, remember how good those were? Yeah, that was the... We had an era where everybody was weird El Yankovich. And they could do these parody songs and the AI won't do that it can't in fact if you try to do a parody song it won't do it no It's not allowed because God forbid yeah because it's you know and even because its legal but this probably gonna get

10:34 thought of as illegal by the stupid AI. Yes, even me just playing that will get this episode removed from Spotify! Probably? No not even probably. Even though there's not one thing there that was remotely a copyright violation nothing Let's check in with Ebola real quick There are growing concerns around the globe about the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa The World Health Organization saying the epidemic is outpacing their efforts ABC's Rena Roy has the latest Health officials are racing to contain the rapidly growing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. Just one week after declaring Ebola a global public health emergency, the World Health Organization admitting the outbreak is outpacing its efforts Not only is it difficult to test for but right now it's spreading in these... Wait a minute! Berks keeps telling us we need the test and now this guy's telling us it's difficult to test for?

11:29 Something's up with that. Health emergency, the World Health Organization admitting the outbreak is outpacing its efforts not only is it difficult to test for but right now it's spreading in these communities faster than health officials can keep up with and it's likely larger than documented. The WHO sending supplies to the Democratic Republic of Congo where officials suspect at least 200 people have died from the virus This UN plane bringing protective equipment for health workers, medication and tents for triage. The European Union and UNICEF sending 100 tons of supplies including testing kits. Several countries including the US now are tightening travel restrictions Americans coming from affected areas can only enter through airports in Atlanta Washington Dulles and what? There's a half a ton of stuff per dead person huh

12:23 200 dead, 100 tons? They're sending a hundred tons of what stuff testing gear PP PPE and they're required to undergo enhanced screenings including temperature checks. Enhanced screening let me take your temperature what kind of enhanced screening is that remember during COVID and we go to a restaurant in the point that thermometer at your head? Well, don't you remember pre-COVID during the swine flu? No SARS. And they had every airport had these thermographs as you're walking down the airport. Oh yeah! Remember the thermograph? Thermograph! Do you remember the thermograph? Yes. Oh yeah and you walk by it oh you're too hot

13:13 You're too hot, dude. And they're required to undergo enhanced screenings including temperature checks non-citizens are banned from traveling here at all if they've been to the impacted areas in the last three weeks At least 10 African nations have been warned They now have an elevated transmission risk with a FIFA World Cup less than three weeks ago Fears are going that virus could spread beyond Central Africa and now despite the warnings and fears health officials stress that the global Ebola threat remains low. Oh, it remains low but play this clip I have the Ebola in the USA clip

CHAPTER 06 / 54 Discussion

CDC Airport Screenings, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya

Acting CDC Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya requests volunteers to bolster Ebola screening efforts at U.S. airports for passengers arriving from Central Africa. While aid workers in the Congo report being stretched thin, the CDC maintains that the risk of a domestic outbreak remains low. The timing of the media coverage is questioned in relation to the upcoming World Cup and political midterms.

cdc· jay bhattacharya· ebola· airport screening· world cup

13:54 The CDC sending an urgent request to its staff members for help screening Americans returning to the US from Central Africa for any potential signs of Ebola. The internal email obtained by ABC News and sent by acting CDC director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya asking for volunteers to bolster efforts at airports, to check passengers for symptoms like fever Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas now one of just three entry points along with the Virginia's Washington Dulles and Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta for US citizens who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo Uganda or South Sudan in the last three weeks.

14:33 Non-Americans are currently banned from entering the country if they've recently traveled to those areas. Ebola is suspected to have killed more than 200 people, and international aid groups say this outbreak could become the deadliest on record. A dire scene in the eastern Congo – a baby born to a mother infected with Ebola dying from the disease Health officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than responders can contain it. Yeah, one American aid worker in the region That's that's the that's The talking point there. The talking point, faster than they can contain it from the disease health officials warning the outbreak is spreading faster than responders can contain it one American aid worker in the region telling us doctors are already stretched thin right now we're working 14 16 hour days six seven days a week We're trying to rotate to get breaks at least 10 African nations bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo now at an elevated transmission risk

15:36 And David, the request for CDC volunteers to help with airport Ebola screenings comes as millions of soccer fans are expected to travel to the U.S in less than three weeks for the World Cup but the CDC insists that those risk of spreading Ebola here in the US remains low So they always have this little kicker at the end? Yeah, so I'd say I'd say this is, of course it's ABC so it's mainstream media. All of them including Fox are like Democrats Hey man if we can't screw up Trump in the midterms let's at least screw up world soccer Yeah that's all they want They just wanna screw stuff up Yeah they like to screw stuff up They do

Interregnum Definition, Liberal World Order

The hosts debate the meaning of the word "interregnum" after it is used to describe Donald Trump's presidency as a gap in the "Liberal World Order." Using the "Book of Knowledge" AI, they define the term as a period between successive reigns or regimes where normal government is suspended. They conclude that by definition, an interregnum implies the leader is not a king.

interregnum· liberal world order· book of knowledge· donald trump· vocabulary

16:24 Hmm. They're doing a good job, I think they're doing a wonderful job of it Yes Oh Man the funny thing is is that no one's ever upset about this No one's ever upset about these things About this this psi op Epstein files, okay Yeah Since we're going to change topics, I have a little interregnum here.

No I don't think that's true! Yes it's a moment of in-betweenness Do you mind if I ask the book of knowledge first? Go ahead and ask A book of knowledge give me the definition of interregnum

18:05 People like the Book of Knowledge. Yeah, they do. They do. Here we go... According to the Book of Knowledge an interregnum is a period when normal government is suspended especially between successive reigns or regimes It derives from Latin meaning between kingdoms and refers to any interval when there is no ruling authority Or a temporary gap in leadership Ha, thus.

Dragnet 1965 Marijuana Prophecy, Predictive Programming

A 1965 clip from the television show Dragnet features a dialogue where a character predicts that marijuana will eventually be packaged, taxed, and sold like liquor once younger generations enter the workforce. The hosts discuss this as a form of "predictive programming" and note how accurately the show's writers anticipated the future of drug policy and social morality.

19:29 Okay, I don't know what that has to do with it but thanks. Here we go this is from 19...this mid 1960s about 65 I believe A little dialogue on the series Dragnet, a TV show with Jack Webb. Oh great show! Is that the dum-da-dum-dum? Yup. Dum-da-dum-dum-DUM! You've been smoking marijuana? Marijuana's illegal I know that That's right For now In a couple of years things may change when all the kids grow up and start wearing ties and going to the polls Marijuana's gonna be like liquor, packaged and taxed and sold right off the shelf. I doubt it Mr. Shipley Look i don't mean to be disrespectful but it seems to me there must be better things for cops to do than chase down wild rumors about something as innocent as marijuana Why dont you go after the big bad guys? The heroin peddlers

20:20 I won't argue with you about them. They should be stopped That's right, we'd like to put them out of business that why we're here What do ya mean? We're trying to keep em from getting a new customer There is big difference between marijuana and hard narcotics Yeah but it only a small step And everybody who takes a drink is gonna be an alcoholic... ...We know that not true don't we Let face it were on opposite sides the fence there nothing we can do about For you, if there's a law against it... It's wrong. Black and white I just don't see things that way That's all Well you ought to give it a try fella It might keep ya out of jail Maybe But we'll change the laws someday even though your friend here thinks we won't Believe me! It's a new world Your laws are as outdated as bustles Laws are gonna have to be changed To keep pace with the new morality They'll change or we'll have to break em Oh man The Lear Foundation was already working in 1960?

21:07 I don't think there was. No, no it seems unlikely but is there a dragnet where they're talking about LGBTQ? There probably is you know I think somebody's got to start data mining the old dragnet shows this is kind of like The Simpsons. Predictive yes predictive programming that's very inter- well of course it was the liberal media hippies who were running the show back then even Yeah, because then in the 70s we got on the family and we know that Meathead was a dope smoker. Yeah, so hmm interesting Well, I can't say that it's bad but it is right down to the packaging and tax That's interesting. Yeah, no, it was really great. It's pretty good. I like that a lot Hey you nailed it on On those teen takeovers

CHAPTER 09 / 54 Discussion

Teen Takeovers, Chicago Curfew Debates

Law enforcement officials in Florida and Chicago address the "teen takeover" trend driven by social media, where large groups of juveniles gather to vandalize businesses. Polk County authorities threaten to arrest parents for their children's conduct. In Chicago, Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and local aldermen push for stricter curfews despite opposition from Mayor Brandon Johnson.

22:01 I have some bunch, I had three clips of the teen takeovers and all not all of them but at least two of them mentioned the idea that we've talked about which is that parents should be arrested for these teen punks. Well yes! I mean...I want to hear.. I have one or two clips myself i'd love to hear yours because when I heard how these parents are acting in this regard and like yeah you're probably right. I only see 2 though There's another one I'll find it. It's got a different, it's go the wrong title. Of course. What are we starting with? Let's start with the... Oh there should be Teen Takeover 2 okay

22:41 I'm looking for teen takeover one, but let's skip right to the Fox. This is from Tampa Florida this is the Teen Takeover Fox 44 Okay so there's a new TikTok trend you know takeovers going into restaurants Trash in places meeting up, driving crazy. Listen that's not gonna work in Polk County there is a whole lot of laws that no only hold juveniles responsible adults responsible but parents responsible for your childrens conduct

23:17 to include juvenile curfews. Now summer's coming and we want the kids to have a good time and a fun time, they worked hard in school this year We don't want them to start next year with a criminal arrest record But I'll guarantee you is this guy Blowhard from dragnet Jack Webb drag tearing up people's businesses fighting in the streets We're gonna light them up all of them, and then mom and dad if you don't hold them accountable personally

23:57 make sure they're home when they need to be, then we're gonna come lock you up too or charge you civilly depending on which laws we can plug in. But parents hold your children accountable so we don't have to. We will hold them accountable if you make us but then we're gonna hold you accountable too think about that and then have a good summer. This is what happened in Chicago. From day into the night, Memorial Day weekend closed out with more teen takeovers In Hyde Park three people were shot and several arrested It's not just messing around in Chicago we shoot you! The past couple years the so-called Teen Trends have been a thorn in the side for police

24:52 We need to do everything we can to put a stop to these events and that means giving the police all the tools they could possibly bring to bear. City Council's Public Safety Committee Chairman Alderman Brian Hopkins has been trying to give police more tools like an earlier teen curfew, but Mayor Brandon Johnson has been against it. Hopkin says as the teen trends continue more of his colleagues are supporting reporting curfews and other measures. It's their voters that are calling them and demanding something be done. And it's Chicago's police superintendent demanding something as well during a city club appearance last week, Larry Snelling says it's time to stop making excuses for the teenagers who participate. There has to be accountability

25:35 The failure here is that when we don't put accountability on teenagers, because teenagers need it more than anybody. Which means having the tools to make arrests and there's a growing call from Snelling Alders and the mayor to make parents accountable because the teen trends gain steam on social media St. Sabina's youth organizer Lamar Johnson says many parents are aware and even enabled their kids. Like majority of parents not all But majority of these parents know exactly what their teens are doing, know where they are. Uber them? Take them down there. I doubt it. What?! In addition City Council is working on social media ordinance that will allow police to work with companies to remove posts that could potentially result in violent behavior. Censorship!

26:25 That's how it starts. Yep, I agree. Do you agree what? That censorship shouldn't be done No but that is how it started. Oh those bad posts! Bad posts Well, I don't have...I can't find a clip one for this is part two of another series where they talk about this. Now Chicago officials weighing targeting parents with one representative... It's the same lady! ...proposing charging parents of minors arrested at teen takeovers after the city's 10pm curfew with contributing to the delinquency of a minor A class-A misdemeanor punishable by up to a $2500 fine and 364 days in jail

CHAPTER 10 / 54 Discussion

Parental Accountability, Historical Gang Rumbles

Chicago officials propose charging parents of minors arrested during teen takeovers with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor carrying potential jail time. The hosts compare modern "takeovers" to historical gang "rumbles" at the Alameda County Fair in the 1960s. They argue that while the behavior isn't new, social media has amplified the scale and visibility of these events.

27:05 This strategy of potentially charging parents... That's three years. Why don't they say three? Hold on, why don't they say three years? Let me hear it again. ...and 364 days in jail. That's one year! It's not three years. Oh I'm sorry you're right. Hello?! This strategy of potentially charging parents... I'm doing math in my head inaccurately Yes I mean, you're almost Chad GPT accurate jail this strategy of potentially charging parents. Do you think it would be effective? I think that is a start we need to have A proactive approach from police whereas they should be monitoring social media To establish where these meetups would be occurring in play meet ups

27:43 Wait a minute, it's a meetup? All of the sudden it's a meetup. To establish where these meetups would be occurring and place the officers accordingly. One idea as desperation to rein in teen takeovers rose We, but there was stuff like this. We had weird stuff going on as kids and we all, hey let's go meet up there and we get all rowdy I mean it is really social media that makes it happen Well its social media thats drawing more attention to it When I was a kid... Hey here we go! You had sit-ins No when I was a kid

28:23 And this one I believe was in the 60s, you'd go to the county fair in Pleasanton, Alameda County Fair. And on 4th of July... You'd always go on the fourth of July they stopped showing the fireworks on a Fourth of July because of this Every 4th of July year after year after year you could go to the fourth of July and there would be a teen takeover of the fair where two rival gangs usually Yes, gangs. Absolutely Rival gangs would come in and start pounding each other no they would rumble Yeah, they'd rumble. By the way though the movie with the musical West Side Story was from this era and these kids would come in and you go just to watch it

29:17 Of course you did, it's gonna be a rumble. Because they never involved you they didn't come just randomly and they would just go after each other and if you watch the latest videos that come out of these teen takeovers which I think is interesting... The fact that they've coined a term for it, team takeover. And they all use the same term, team takeover When you see it, it's just two groups battling each other. They're not really... You know you see people holding their kid to the side and you see bystanders but they never do anything to the bystanders. Do you remember during Obama? This was a great piece of history I probably don't have the clip During the Obama administration there was an equivalent kind of teen takeover And this mom, this black mom

30:04 Comes right up to her kid and grabs him by the ear And you remember this like what are you doing here? And she took an it was vaguely everybody. Everybody was covering this scene I wonder they might have a clip but anyway, so this is not a new phenomenon By any means no when you read this happening in restaurants Which i'm sure you know they'd used to be in public events Yeah And then when the cops would come, it's cops! and then we'd all run. Scatter. Scatter. This has been going on for the last 50 years. Longer maybe longer yeah I'm sure it goes back to the 20s and 30s and right longer than that how about how about The Gangs of New York? Yeah there you go basically teen takeovers

30:54 Yeah, oh well. I like the parents who Uber their kids hey go ahead and go to the takeover sounds like fun But this is leading to the arrest of parents and i think this This is a real trend that we're looking at It's the fuzz man The fuzz Wow welcome to Boomer Agenda everybody I still think it's great I think it's great that we know all these terms. You could learn something from us Yeah, yeah especially if you're a Zed You know I went to a movie screening last night of called Young Washington And it says one those Christian films that you rush too?

Young Washington Movie, French-Indian War History

A review of the film "Young Washington" explores George Washington's early military career in colonial Virginia and his involvement in the Ohio Valley conflict against the French. The movie depicts Washington's struggle for respect within the British Army and his relationship with Native American tribes. The hosts discuss the violent nature of American history as portrayed in the film.

31:42 and distributed by Angel, but it's more about they're releasing it on July 3rd and it's more intended. It's not like all... in fact if anything there is a lot of blowing people up in this movie But that's interesting you say that why would why do you equate Young Washington with one of those Christian movies? No I think that's the only thing you go see nowadays In the theater yeah probably But I realized how little I know of our own country's history. I didn't really realize... You suspect that this was accurate, this movie? Yes yeah i think it was pretty accurate. It wasn't idealized like you'd expect? I would expect to be idealized. Not really is I mean here in short it shows that he wanted to be part of the British Army This is colonial Virginia

32:33 And he can't because he's just scum. He's a colonist, you know? Go back to your farm stupid boy and then he gets an assignment which was meant to fail at To go and scout out some land in the Ohio Valley and then he finds the French I didn't really realize that the Brits fought the French over the Ohio Valley They're fighting their French over everything Yeah but it's...I'm telling ya' I felt like wow! I'm pretty stupid I didn't really feel that way. These are details of history that very few people would know one way or the other and it's not really that important in the scheme of things in todays world How Washington came to be, and why... how the uniforms were chosen for the militia It was like a prequel to Star Wars That sort of thing. And it was good! A lot of people getting blowed up

33:29 It was good. I could do without the violence. Oh, really? It's part of our history man! That's who we are. We're a violent warring people. We don't want to admit it but we are this is our roots. We're good at it too by the way and in fact George Washington was friends with the Indians. In fact, this is interesting because earlier in the conversation you went on about how it'd be cool... You didn't use the word cool but you were implying it to taze these poor kids and the teen takeover come in there with tasers and just electrocute all which is a violent act well I've never seen anyone shot with one of these things they shake a lot well half the people just keep walking from what I've seen of these Taser videos

34:18 But I didn't. More voltage? I was only trying to extrapolate on what the sheriff said about we're gonna light him up so i thought that maybe if you light them up that means you're going to electrify them, I don't know. Lighten him up! Anyway it's a good movie when it comes out I recommend you go see it yeah I haven't seen one movie at a theater in the last five years and that's about it I watch my movies on the video. On the video? Oh really, do you get your from Blockbuster or where do you get your video? I get it from...I get my videos from the TV I got some screwball clips here, let's play whatever dummies. I was gonna go into some real news we've done nothing but screwball but okay whatever dummies What gas do plants absorb from the air? Oxygen What continent is Brazil in?

The hosts review clips from the "Whatever" podcast, where the host asks OnlyFans models basic general knowledge questions. The models struggle to identify the capital of the United States, the number of states in the union, and the location of the Panama Canal. The segment highlights a perceived decline in basic education and historical literacy among younger generations.

Dutch Schooling Anecdote, 52 States Myth

A personal anecdote describes a conflict with a Dutch schoolteacher in the 1970s who insisted the United States had 52 states. After calling the American embassy to confirm there were only 50, the student was kicked out of class for presenting the recorded evidence. This experience is cited as a formative moment in the development of a skeptical, independent media mindset.

netherlands· education· american embassy· podcasting origins· geography

41:32 52? Do you vote? No. Okay, good What is the capital of the USA? Albany New York How many planets are in our solar system You're counting? 7 Well this does bring up an old story When I entered Dutch school in 5th grade speaking maybe 10 words of Dutch But I understood enough to hear the teacher tell me, now so this would have been 1974. No! I'm sorry 78 and the teacher said America has 52 states and went and raised my hand i said no it says 50 states and the teacher went

42:26 They had 50 and then they bought Alaska and Hawaii, you stupid American. I may be exaggerating a little bit on the last part but that's how it made me feel so no it was really 50. I remember now here was young man and I called up the embassy that day from home and I recorded on a cassette recorder, and I asked them. And they told me...I was 48 you know we bought Hawaii in Alaska and I took it into school the next day and played it and I got kicked out of class yeah yeah that would happen and I think that was when I decided I would be a podcaster

43:05 This is the gig for me. I need to be... You decided something at that point because you realize that the system is corrupt Yeah, yes there was a lot of good education that got in Dutch school but that was not part of it Anyway, that was fun. Do you think the guy makes any money with that show? How does he make money? Does he have a donation segment no He doesn't I don't know how he makes money to be honest about it's probably running only fans girls. He might be That's probably what he's doing this is the clip I have from the one girl whose who's accumulated 32 million dollars so far in her OnlyFans business Yeah

43:44 I mean, it's a business. It's a living but she probably doesn't know how many states there are in the Union either. It's unbelievable. But you know again... Yeah well... There was an issue between not knowing that and not knowing that George Washington ran into some French dudes back in the day? It was a little more than that It's his backstory. It's the back story, it's an important back story I thought it was good Yeah okay Well I'm not gonna say its not a good movie Im just saying What is the difference between knowing some small factoid about Washington and not knowing how many planets there are in the solar system?

Trump Cabinet Meeting, Reflecting Pool Renovation

During a televised cabinet meeting, Donald Trump discusses the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, detailing the removal of trash and the specific "American Flag Blue" paint used. He also addresses negotiations with Iran, stating he is not pressured by the upcoming midterm elections to reach a deal. The media's tendency to cut away from substantive policy reports is criticized.

44:22 By the way, that seven... The girl's counting on her hand. On her fingers since she gets this seventh. Mars! Third rock from the sun is Mars. Moon is too. So yesterday, the president did one of his cabinet meetings and I was watching. I was watching a stream but then I was watching the quad screen and the mainstream media does the same thing every single time They show the president's preamble, then when the secretaries are all giving their report they cut away and then they laugh about the president. About how dumb he is and I'll be honest... He went on for 10 minutes about the reflecting pool in front of The Washington Monument. Oh! And the color of the water? He went on and on and how you know he's done swimming pools and he got his guys

45:15 Now, he's the right color blue for the paint. From a builder's perspective it was rather interesting like okay I see what you did there and i'm sure that...I haven't been to DC in a long time. I'm sure construction guys would thought it was interesting and that's about it yeah but it was this hey number one rule talk about what you know about but it just went on and on and and I was like ah I wish I could have kind of seen this thing before he fixed it because I'm sure it was a piece of crap He was talking about 11 truckloads of trash they took out of it. It was leaking, it was all oxidized nothing was working so there's you know anyway... So then they'll do that and then they cut back when the press is asking questions which are usually

46:06 That's accurate representation. Yeah, that's about right and then the next day you get reports like this President Trump is adamant that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon but exactly how he pulls that off is still an open question The president held a cabinet meeting at the White House today where he touched on wide range of topics But of course the headline was excuse me Iran And he said talks with the regime are still happening but it's leaving the door open to resume fighting if necessary They want very much to make a deal so far. They haven't gotten there that we're not satisfied with it, but now we will be either that or we'll have to just finish the job they're negotiating on fumes. But we'll see what happens. The president's negotiating on fumes I like that phrase yeah i mean well this so did the mainstream media m5m was all over although

46:53 The phrase is you're running on fumes, but negotiating in fumes maybe in the context of oil. It's interesting yeah. We'll see what happens. The president said he doesn't feel pressure to strike a deal before voters head to the polls in November for the midterms They thought they were going outweigh me You know we will outweight him He has got the midterms I don't care about them People understand that they know that very simple Iran cannot have nuclear weapons I do not care about the midterm Probably true So that's one version then. Oh, he said something dumb! And it was a pooper! More breaking news tonight... Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking news I'm telling you is breaking news! More breaking news tonight new American military strikes on Iran that's according to a US official who tells us um that uh that Iran has set out to... that U.S. carriers have struck

Oman Threat Controversy, Strait of Hormuz

Media outlets, including CNN's Anderson Cooper, report on Donald Trump's comment about "blowing up" Oman if they do not cooperate regarding the Strait of Hormuz. While Oman is a U.S. ally, Trump emphasizes that the strait must remain open as international waters. The State Department later posted the clip, suggesting the statement was an intentional diplomatic signal rather than a slip of the tongue.

oman· strait of hormuz· anderson cooper· cnn· international waters

47:46 some new sites at the Iranian... Get it together, Anderson. ...nearby Iran." The official adding that the military also intercepted drones being launched from Iran. It caps a day that saw the president hold a televised cabinet meeting during which Iran came up repeatedly. He suggested a deal is close but also there's no hurry to reach one saying pressure from midterm elections was not a concern for him he threatened as well to quote blow-up Oman which is an ally of United States in the Gulf. And now we all know what an ally is, he's gonna blow up Oman! Iran wants control of the Strait of Hormuz. Would you accept a short-term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the strait? And would they have to open it immediately or would you be opened to that happening over a period of time? The Straits is going to be opened everybody, so... And who will control it? It's international waters Nobody's gonna control them We're gonna watch over it, we'll watch over but nobody's gonna control it Oman will behave just like everybody else and we'll have to blow him up They understand that They'll be fine

48:47 Again, Oman is an ally. Gives access to air bases and a port to American forces. And if you think the president's statement about blowing up Oman was a slip of the tongue... The State Department posted that clip with the President making the threat on social media not long after he said it. As for Iran it says 23 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours That's under what it calls its security protection, according to Iranian state-sponsored media with quote hostile vessels still not allowed. So that was the main takeaway everybody had. Oh yeah he says gonna blow up a man an ally and there is an ally! Come on people now just a question I think this is isn't rather unique but I'm sorry let me do the Tucker Isn't it rather unique that the president

Presidential Transparency, Media Reporting Habits

The hosts discuss Trump's unique practice of allowing the press to film entire cabinet meetings, likening it to a corporate "Monday morning management meeting." They argue that journalists find these sessions boring and fail to report on the actual data presented, such as crime statistics and job growth, focusing instead on controversial soundbites.

white house press corps· transparency· cabinet meetings· journalism· ceo style

49:34 televises his entire and allows the press to be there the entire time. I just want, I don't remember any other president doing that with a camera. Nobody knows it's not unique but he does it a lot yeah and he does some long ones yeah actually that's how we started off and and I said you know that is kind of true That's a good point A lot of very happy people around the table because we're a great team. It's been a tremendous period of time." How many times have you heard a CEO of a company do this? This is exactly what the Monday morning management meeting was, this is like Bloom!

50:12 It's a high bloom for hands. No, it's not at all hands It's the management team you sit down with the management team and your pep everybody of everybody's Monday morning Okay in this case is Wednesday Monday morning everybody we got a great team alright We're doing great everything's fantastic good to have y'all here for our country and things are going very well Number of jobs we had more people working today that we've ever had before in the history of our country Is that true? No. Well, yeah we have more people than ever before yes well then so it's true more people and many other things and I have a few words that i think will be helpful last night was incredible not only Texas but so many other places the numbers were fantastic and they've really been that way for

51:05 a year. Hundreds of people won and almost nobody didn't win. Almost nobody didn't, who didn't win? Which of his primary candidates didn't win do you know? Not offhand but there's I think one or two. But last night was very powerful So I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the 12th cabinet meeting of our administration. And we're doing something that no administrations ever done, were always letting the press join us because we're very open and transparent. You like the word transparent but when what transparency any, any administration in history know? To the best of my knowledge press has never been invited ever to a cabinet meeting for any reason at all

51:53 I believe that to be true. Yeah, I believe it to be true and the thing is they don't cover it They don't want you to know what's actually happening was kind of boring It's not bored. Why do why do you think? It's boring well? I've watched these things they went because the first one he did number one for four hours yeah That was boring yes on and on it was like in every way And here's the thing that does bothersome And I think one of the reasons you don't have these things, I think having the press there does serve a purpose. It keeps everybody in line because you don't have anybody spouting off because they know that it's gonna be...

52:33 Nixon to be front page in the New York Times, so you can't have anybody blowing up or having anything screwy happening in the press. It makes it very genteel which is probably what Trump wants he doesn't want any you know because you have enough trouble with leakers that He doesn't need that aggravation and his cabinet meeting So he just puts brings depressing there's not gonna be any leaking now Right, but the bothersome thing to me is that no one covers it. And yeah maybe because it's boring but you know like a good CEO he goes through his most... Well you'd think they cover it better than they do because they have these press conferences and are asking their questions. The questions are pre-answered in these cabinet meetings. Well well just what I'm saying they cover

53:22 the president's opening to be able to, ah! He said Oman they're gonna blow him up. He's an ally he's dumb. Yeah okay here here's my take I'm a journalist and I got the White House and I'm thinking do i want to go to this cabinet meeting and sit there for four hours three hours or whatever the hell it is and listen to this crap? No. I'm going to go to the bar It was only an hour-and-a-half That was too long So, no. It's too long for the... No I don't want to put the work in it. No! I just don't want to do it. I think it's for different reasons. I think is because they don't want to report so the president like any good CEO starts with a report we have had zero illegals come in in the last 12 months murder rate is the lowest Yeah but I'm taking that perspective of the journalists and say the same thing I must say again But so what? This isn't interesting to me this not good news. I understand

Drug Price Reductions, Fraud Task Force

The Trump administration reports significant discounts on prescription drugs and the addition of 1,000 low-cost generics to the federal database. A fraud task force led by Todd Blanche claims to have uncovered billions in defrauded taxpayer money, including a suspicious $2 billion environmental grant involving Stacey Abrams that was subsequently canceled.

prescription drugs· generics· fraud task force· todd blanche· stacey abrams

54:22 But I'm deconstructing media by showing you what they're not doing. Well, they're not doing anything it seems like! Right so therefore did you know that we have the...I'm just gonna presume these are true and and the fact that no one went out and said he lied i'm just going to say they're probably true lowest murder rate in 125 years Yeah this is seems to be true 11 888 criminal murderers have been removed most favored nation drug prices Which I think is, in fact he was mad about this. medical, anything having to do with medical. Because drug prices were delivering record-setting discounts on prescription drugs with price differences of 400 500 and even 600 percent at the trump rx gov now wait he's gonna screw this up himself here we recently added nearly 1,000 low cost low cost generics to the website so

55:31 We have drugs down 400, 500 600 percent now you could say 80 90 70 60 50 what percent if you want there are two ways depends on the way you ask the question. What? Okay he doesn't help himself with that And then he goes into most favored nation drug prices. So a pill that costs 10 bucks in London, but 110 in the US now it's 20 for everybody But that's a big deal but of course they're not gonna... Of course again if you read my current Substack column, Dvorak.substack.com where I talk about the capture of

56:10 media by the drug companies. Yes, that was good piece- They're obviously not gonna write about this because it has anything to do with drug companies forget is verboten and then he goes into the Somalis The Somalians are what they've done to Minnesota the Somalians crooked as hell Ilan Omar crooked as hell they're all crooks and we got him We got him putting the clamps on He didn't get Omar, she's still kicking. She's still doing her thing? No no I think he- That's an impressive group of guys that you have behind you. I was watching that and a couple of very strong women too but i was watching that last night. I said I'm proud of you guys in two months we've exposed tens of billions of dollars of defrauded taxpayer money prosecuted numerous fraudsters Todd and stopped billions

57:04 Suspicious payments, very suspicious. Oh you haven't seen anything yet? Well you see I'm getting reports from Todd from JD...I've never seen anything like it to kind of just hundreds of billions of dollars was stolen And no other administration would do what we're doing. And he goes on about that and then he had a nice moment, He thanked Tulsi Gabbard who was she didn't speak Before asking Vice President Vance to speak about these efforts I want to express our tremendous gratitude To our outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Who's a terrific person actually She's come up with some findings that were pretty good

CHAPTER 18 / 54 Discussion

Tulsi Gabbard, Student Loan Fraud Investigation

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is thanked for her work on intelligence trust and findings related to Russia. The Department of Education reports uncovering massive student loan fraud involving non-existent individuals and illegal aliens. A host shares a personal story about government contract fraud in the Netherlands to illustrate the persistence of "the government teat."

tulsi gabbard· department of education· student loans· fraud· national intelligence

57:50 And Tulsi's worked tirelessly to restore trust and focus on the intelligence. And with the intelligence community, they all respected her. It goes on about all of the things she has uncovered about Russia, Russia, Russia... And then for some reason she opened up the JFK RFK files and UFO files I don't think Tulsi had anything to do with that But then the secretary spoke and it actually were quite interesting I'll skip Vance because actually the beginning is kind of good. Yes, sir well first of all thank you for your leadership sir You always have to start with thank you for your leadership for making it possible I often find in the fraud task force that there sometimes are barriers that we need to break down The agencies that need to coordinate and i'll come to the president say mr.. President

58:39 I need your permission to do, he'll say for what? For the fraud task force. They'll cut me off and say yes go do it so the fact that we have dedicated presidential leadership is really what's made this possible because it does require uh we've got great people around the table but sometimes these agencies don't know how to work together at the lower level and that's one of the things we've had to turn on in force with a fraud task force so I want to shout out just a few all-stars here. All stars! Linda from Department Education has been amazing at finding student loan fraud. You've got people who are either illegal aliens or aren't even actually real human beings who are getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the Department of Education for student loans, you know? So all most of these reports were all about fraud and it's it really is unbelievable how much how I'll never forget my dad once when

59:26 I brought him into my company. We didn't really have a great relationship, but I felt bad so you can get a desk over here." That was not a good relationship and this is in Holland and my company was in line to get a deal with the Department of Education until we found out how fraudulent those guys were. They literally were committing fraud to pay us like now I don't want any part of that And I had to go testify in court later for that because it was so messed up. But, I remember him saying... And nothing came of it? No no no! That guy was dismissed he got kicked out of government oh yeah Oh okay Something did come out of it but I'll never forget my dad a good company man He worked for the US government for many years and said this is great once you get on the government teat It lasts forever

Lee Zeldin, EPA Funding Cancellations

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin reports the cancellation of $29 billion in funding that the previous administration attempted to "rush out the door" before the inauguration. This includes the controversial $2 billion allocated to an organization linked to Stacey Abrams. The hosts note that these significant financial recoveries are largely ignored by mainstream news outlets.

1:00:20 I'm like, yeah. That's... Yeah, I've heard this ad before. Well, I kind of say the same thing. I think the word teat is what bothered me the most. Teat? Yeah. Like this sucks! I hated that it really bothered me here's Todd Blanche our acting Attorney General continue to talk about what the vice president was just talking about. The way that we are actually, it's one thing to uncover fraud which we've done and that's part of it but its also prosecuting the bad guys who are doing it and stopping it from continuing and thats where you have everybody in this room has inspector generals and for many years these really hard working law enforcement members would identify fraud and nobody did anything about

1:01:03 DOJ prosecuted it but spent very little resources on that. So what we've done just in the past 51 days, over 400 law enforcement actions in this country related to major fraud. That's search warrants, that's arrests, that's convictions, that's indictments that are filed and that's just 51 days and it's not just the great prosecutors its FBI agents its DHS and HSI agents everybody in this room has inspector generals they have been freed up because of you, because of the vice president saying this is going to be a priority what we're going to do not just the Department

1:01:40 Even though we're the prosecutors that are putting bad guys in jail, it's also the law enforcement at every agency FBI and DHS. And so we're already seeing results. And billions of dollars was given out just very quickly before Biden left office. Billions and billions were given out And I mean, I know of many cases but one...I don't know what's happened with it. But i think you're looking at it and Lee was involved in it environmentally Stacey Abrams who has given two billion dollars for an account that had a hundred three dollars in environmental fraud So we heard about this we heard about the two billion dollars to Stacey Abrams did you ever hear what happened to that?

1:02:20 No, I did not. As far as i can tell nothing So here is Lee Zeldin of the EPA He gets to talk he came right after Todd Thanks for your leadership Mr President That was cancelled and they no longer have access to that 2 billion dollars They wanted that money In fact it was over 29 billion dollars that has now been cancelled at EPA You told us to make it a priority. Now this happened as soon as you came in, after the election before your inauguration they were caught on video saying that they were rushing to get billions of dollars out the door before you're swearing in because they were afraid that once you are sworn and you're going to stop it Well that part there right? So I didn't know that. How did he know that they pulled that money back? I may have known it. This is the problem

Third-Country National Agreements, Deportation Strategy

Senator Marco Rubio details new agreements with 20 countries that allow the U.S. to deport illegal immigrants to safe third-party nations if they refuse to return to their country of origin. Rubio claims that when faced with being sent to countries like Nigeria or the Congo, many individuals suddenly choose to return to their home countries voluntarily.

marco rubio· deportation· third-country agreements· immigration policy· mexico

1:03:17 This is the problem. I didn't know there were 400 arrests, I don't know any of this stuff Why would i? Because they're not reporting on it Yeah why would you because they're not gonna tell ya Well if it was Obama they would It's not... If they tell you are you going to vote Democrat? I don't think so Well exactly! But Fox News didn't tell me either No well hello Okay just saying So then we got Rubio who had some funny things to say. is dealing with the people that are in this country unlawfully, many of whom do not want to go back to the country that they originally came from for a variety reasons. You know listen to this! Can't send them there or some judge ties us up and one other key things we have achieved is now 20 countries have signed third-country national agreements meaning these are safe countries where individuals who refuse to go back to their country of origin can be sent to that country instead We've got twenty countries now around the world who have signed agreement

1:04:19 that allow us to deport people to those places. What often happens when you go to the person who's here unlawfully and say, we're going to send you to this third country is all of a sudden they decide they'd rather go back to their home country instead." No man don't send me to Nigeria! I'll go back to Mexico, I promise, I promise, I'll never do it again!" And this is the one clip that I did see here and there on The Main Street... By the way, that was a stroke of genius to pull that stunt. It's a great idea Yeah, no you can't go back to Costa Rica? Okay. We'll send you to Nairobi or Tanzania or whatever. No! Congo! No there's Ebola there I don't want to go there no I'll go back to Mexico I promise

CHAPTER 21 / 54 Discussion

Venezuela Oil Production, Cuba's Gaesa Monopoly

The U.S. reports that 10 million barrels of Venezuelan oil have been delivered since January, with proceeds held in a Treasury-monitored account audited by KPMG to benefit the Venezuelan people. Rubio also highlights "Gaesa," a military-controlled conglomerate in Cuba that dominates 70% of the island's economy, preventing wealth from reaching the general population.

venezuela· cuba· gaesa· oil production· kpmg

1:05:03 And then this got a little bit of play in the mainstream Rubio on Cuba. Can I just ask you, Cuba and Venezuela? What's going on there? Well interesting on Venezuela that process continues that three phase process You know of obviously stabilization recovery and transition I would to say just since January 3rd of this year Okay, and I think this numbers right increasing Chris or Doug can can correct me on this but I think over 10 million barrels Venezuelan oil have been delivered to the United States since the 3rd of January. That doesn't seem like a lot, 10 million barrels since January? Aren't some of these Middle East countries pumping out 5 million a day? Yeah So ten million in what six months that doesn't seem like a lot to me maybe it's more than was coming out of there

1:05:58 But I was like, no that's just odd. That industry is being professionalized for the first time ever it's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people they are selling oil in the market at market rates The money is going to an account In the United States controlled and monitored by Treasury audited by KPMG I like that! KPMG in the house people And its for the first time ever the money isn't being stolen It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan People Cuba's in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them it is run by a bunch of incompetent communists. And being communist is bad and being an incompetent communist is like the worst! Okay Marco, okay Marco good one. Lubio in there The country has been taken over by this company called Gaesa that basically controls 70% of the economy None of the money in that company goes to help the Cuban people I didn't know this...Gaesa? Grupo de Administración Empresarial

1:06:53 which was set up by Raul Castro in 1955 and does indeed, according to reports control up to 70% of the entire economy. Tourism retail finance infrastructure like the ports I'm just going to give you a... just interrupt ya Venezuela oil production it's around currently it's up to 893 thousand barrels per day but it's been as low as, as low as... Two barrels. It really is, you have to look at this chart. It was high as like 3.5 million barrels a day back in 1970 and it dropped to as low as, geez just next to nothing in 2020. I mean the chart is just at the bottom

1:07:48 It's the number so low you can't even get it. So, it's up though? That's the idea. It's up a bit yeah. But they're not anywhere near capacity I mean its like ridiculous No of course Which is what Trumps offering and let's get back to cranking this stuff out and then you can make that woman who runs the country will be rich without being corrupt Yes Alright, so then we go to Doug Burgum. He's of the Interior and he starts to confirm some things about Alaska

CHAPTER 22 / 54 Discussion

Alaska Oil Leases, China Energy Trade

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum reports that oil lease sales on public lands, including the North Slope of Alaska, have generated $4 billion in revenue since January. This marks a significant increase over the previous administration's figures. Experts predict a growth in energy exports to China, particularly in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil.

doug burgum· north slope· alaska· lng· china

1:08:29 that I've been looking at the pipeline, what is it? The North Slope. And so here he is on the oil, our own oil! Well, President Trump under your leadership we've opened up lease sales on public land this is land that was put away for the benefit and use of the American people like the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Alaska The Biden administration had illegally stopped holding lease sales during their administration President Trump famously said, drill baby drill. But before you can drill it you've got to open public lands between the lease sales that have happened in the Permian in the Bokken and on the North Slope

1:09:09 Just since January of this year, it's over $4 billion of revenues come into the Treasury. That's 13 times more than the Biden administration brought in on lease sales in the entire four years they were not in office. Sir your policies brought that in five months so with that a lot of excitement and a lot of activity. Very exciting! We also inherited... All right so very exciting very exciting oil or I actually checked because I keep hearing about Alaska. He talks about how all these land leases and you know we know that in Alaska the oil money goes to the Alaskans, and so that's... A piece of it? A piece yes but the same thing is starting to happen with these public lands and apparently there's a backlog of five or six thousand land leases for oil drilling So i got to talk to the uh the Oil Baron about it who did send me note this morning and said your call on $60 oil is right he sent he sent me some

1:10:05 long analysis. Someone who says probably going to go down to 62 and it won't take much, it won't take much so here's they're not You know, supposedly Alaskan oil is going to China. I think it may be but i don't think its quite there yet this is from CNBC. I want to ask you Joe just had some headlines here before we came out of the commercial break which was basically that China may have agreed to buy US Oil what can you tell us about the china meetings and uh... chinas energy purchases from united states Yeah, I mean 20 years ago we were the largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world. And today China is the largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world So there's a natural energy trade there We've sold them you know ethane for petrochemicals and oil on-and-off through the years And I suspect will see a growth in their oil imports from the United States so you think you said suspect

CHAPTER 23 / 54 Discussion

Federal Gas Tax Holiday Proposal

President Trump hints at a potential federal gas tax holiday ahead of the July 4th holiday to provide relief to consumers and truckers. The hosts discuss the 18.4 cent federal tax and contrast it with high state taxes in California, where specific environmental blends and refinery issues contribute to prices exceeding seven dollars per gallon.

gas tax· fourth of july· congress· california· fuel prices

1:10:59 but you think they will be a larger buyer? We know they're huge buyer of US LNG, or at least Taiwan South Korea and Japan are. China as well You think there'll be bigger buyer of U.S. crude oil I do, i do think they will. There's huge interest in Asian buyers for more oil out of Alaska as well you know now our oil goes out to the Gulf of Mexico we'll see more that going over to China but not too distant future were gonna see more oil coming out of Alaska and it's gonna supply are neighbors and friends in Asia as well yeah thats the pipeline from North Slope down to South we'll see And then in the Q&A, there were only two kind of interesting questions in the Q&A. This one slipped in and I'm like oh, I see what's gonna happen here. Are you expecting Congress to pass a federal gas tax holiday? A gas tax holiday? Well it's something we might talk about let's see what happens over the next week or 2 weeks lot of good things are happening Gas Tax Holiday well of course! Of course you want to do a gas tax holiday right before the 4th of July

1:12:02 Because that's the date. He has to have an announcement, do you know how much the federal tax is on gasolina? You'll be surprised how little it is. Now, do you think that would make a lot of difference to people if it went down by basically 20 cents? If it went down by 20 cents. I think there's some people who chew up a lot of gas, especially these truckers. Yeah well that that's even more on oil so that may be part of what he's thinking of doing and oh yeah let's but and I don't think the president can do that. I think it has to be in an act of Congress because it's a federal tax and that 18 point four cents has been there since the 90s

1:13:11 It's been there forever. You're not surprised they don't jack it up? Well, in California I think you have almost two dollars no i'm sorry 70 cents 70 cents of state tax I still don't understand how you get to seven bucks a gallon in California. Well, our blend is very specific to California. Bad blend yes It's a super... it's a blend that supposedly reduces smog and it only can be made by a few refineries and once those refineries gets shut down by California and stupidity we won't have any gas at all! And then we can ride our bicycles

CHAPTER 24 / 54 Discussion

Abraham Accords Expansion, Saudi Arabia Negotiations

The administration is "requesting strongly" that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait join the Abraham Accords. Trump suggests that these countries "owe it" to the U.S. to sign the historic peace agreements. The hosts reflect on the overall positive nature of the manufacturing and economic reports presented during the cabinet meeting, which they feel are obscured by negative media algorithms.

abraham accords· saudi arabia· qatar· jared kushner· middle east

1:13:47 And then the final question about the Abraham Accords. No, no the basics now I would for some of it because it's a memorandum of understanding for speed and one of the things that will happen is the straight will open immediately Immediately but he's got to be perfect. I'm not gonna do this. I didn't do this together crummy agreement The worst agreement ever signed was by Barack Hussein Obama. What a horrible agreement that was, it was a setback for this country for the whole world uh the middle east would have blown itself up no and we'd like to have the countries were talking about with Saudi Arabia UAE Qatar and the others we would like to have them immediately join the and Steve Woodcuff is working on that with Jared and some others but would like to have them join the Abraham Accords it'll be historic if they do it I think they owe that to us to be honest

1:14:42 I think because that really would be a tremendous sign. And I think those countries owe it to us. Steve, are you going to get them decide? We're definitely pushing it. I'm not sure we should make the deal if they don't sign. You want to know the truth? If they don't sign to join Abraham, of course, I don't know that we have countries in there already UAE great Great countries, bold countries. And it's turned out to be so good so effective and So we're you know requesting strongly that they join It'll be great for Saudi Arabia Be great for Qatar and Kuwait the whole group He is pushing real hard for it Who knows? Who knows crazier things have happened

1:15:30 And I just listened to this, you know it was overall it was very positive. You know a lot of good news about manufacturing and you know Besson came in and he had nothing but great news to report of course And I believe 80% of it is true, but no one hears this. And so we as humans love bad news and we love living in anger and we love living in sarcasm... It's just too bad because people get so wrapped up in it. And I'll give you a point there for talking about the Algos regarding Massey's so-called affair with Boebert

CHAPTER 25 / 54 Discussion

Russian TikTok Psy-Ops, Pretty Girl Algorithms

A discussion on social media algorithms notes a trend of "pretty Russian girls" and pro-Putin content appearing on TikTok and Instagram. The hosts speculate that this could be an intelligence agency "psy-op" designed to warm the American public to a new geopolitical nexus involving Russia, India, and China. They contrast the perceived intelligence of these Russian content creators with the "nitwits" seen on American podcasts.

tiktok· putin· russia· algorithms· psy-op

1:16:11 I think that people attract these algos and they just sit in that muck all day. It sucks, it's no good, its horrible! I don't know what this is about, but i mentioned it to Mimi and she said she says oh. I don't know what you're talking about! I haven't seen one of these videos okay because my elbows are like he'll talk about on the show let's put him on the elbow so there's a bunch of Russian chicks that keep cropping up and there's three of them in particular. I would love to see your algo because of course you're getting Russian chicks after he got the nitwits who don't know how many planets there are or letters in the alphabet, your brain is frying my friend! So the Russian chicks then there's a bunch of them and it and there's also clips of Putin

1:17:10 and I think that Putin wants to show up a little more on TikTok. And is what a great guy Putin is, and look at his security people and he's hand signals and he does this and he does that and there's meaningless drivel about Putin about what a great guy he is. The Russian chicks are all pretty and they have funny stories about Russia and how depressing it is but how great the Russian people are and there's one Russian girl that's teaching how to say cuss in Russian. You wanna know how to cuss somebody out in Russian? And it's one thing after another, and I think that this is...I believe there's an intelligence agency behind these, and they are promoting the idea that we're going to like...and this backs you up by the way, I don't know why you complain about it

1:18:00 But this backs your theory that Russia, China, United States and maybe India are forming a new nexus because this is warming people up to Russia. Yes! And you're right add India, Lubeo was just there for the week Right, he was there just coincidentally. With his wife? But not coincidentally. Nope! And but this Russian prop the pro it's oddly pro-Russian even though they're cynical girls they're all very pretty one in particular is a beautiful girl and she's telling us about you know how we should you know listen to the Russian women it's just crazy stuff and they're short and they're on Insta and they're on TikTok

1:18:42 And I've seen them, they just kind of crop up. They also show up on Twitter but not to an extreme and it's just fascinating because you see it as a op, it's a psy-op Maybe, but I think the algos you know whatever you're looking at. The algos aren't all that smart so yes i think it's very easy for any agency to promote things and get people who are already interested in cute women could these Russian chicks could they name all the planets? Probably...I'm just guessing Yeah! You know they're not dummies Right

1:19:21 You can see the difference. This is exactly what I'm talking about, people are living in this negative... In America's very much in America it's it's I just see it everywhere. Sucks everything's faking gay Trump Epstein That's all I hear all day long but you don't hear any of the good stuff And it probably doesn't even matter to them anymore. Hey, there's no more idiot illegals coming in." Oh that's good! Hey you know we got a lot of people at work yeah that's pretty good hey we're we got a lot and a lot more jobs coming I talked to one of our kids here the other day Parker i meet with him from time to time he was like I'm thinking about becoming an HVAC guy I want to make 200 grand Yeah where does he hear on this show? Like that sounds pretty good to me

NASA Artemis Moon Base, Mars Mission Goals

NASA outlines a three-phase plan to establish a permanent moon base near the lunar South Pole by 2032, serving as a stepping stone for a future Mars mission. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman discusses a $20 billion investment over seven years. The hosts express skepticism about the timeline and the "scientific and economic potential" cited by the agency.

nasa· artemis· moon base· mars· jared isaacman

1:20:13 Talking about since we're on the topic of good news, let's move to this story. NASA Moon Base Big Story! Yeah, buggies and bases everybody they're back take a look at NASA's vision of a future moon base massive potentially hundreds of square miles on the lunar surface complete with astronaut living quarters lunar rovers and power stations with the ultimate goal of heading to Mars. And we want to be in an environment where we can learn the skills so that astronauts can go and plant the stars and stripes on Mars someday. Splashdown confirmed! NASA's moon base plans come just six weeks after the Artemis 2 mission that sent astronauts around the moon for the first time in 50 years, NASA hopes to land Artemis 4 astronauts on the Moon in 2028

1:21:05 Building a moon base will come in three phases starting this year, eventually using drones and rovers to scout the best landing sites near the South Pole. In 2029 they'll begin assembling the moon base including solar and nuclear power systems Then in 2032, the first astronauts will begin living and working on the moon. Artemis astronauts will stay longer explore farther and conduct the kinds of science that advances exploration itself with China also aiming to build a lunar base NASA plans to establish a perimeter around the American base It's an ambitious timeline and NASA will need to learn, react fast, and mitigate the risks including from long-term radiation exposure and micrometeorites that shower the moon. Now do you think this still inspires young people? This whole moon business or is it more like hey man get my gas down to three bucks? That's an interesting question you'd bring up

1:22:08 Let me contemplate, there's a series of NASA. NASA, Nasa. Nasa? Yes, Nasa. Nasa has gone farther than anyone else! So it starts with NASA moon base etc one and this is an NBC report and there are three parts and it talks about what they're trying to Because Trump wants to defund or not defund but to pull back on the NASA funding and give more of it to Musk. Okay And so this is, now NBC's pushing back with this presentation And NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman joins us now. Mr. Administrator, thank you so very much for joining us tonight. Fascinating timeline on all of this with the first part of Operation Moonbase it seems like it's already in motion and also seems like the first things first is... Hold on a second! Could they not come up with a better operation name than Operation Moonbase? Is that really all they got?!

1:23:09 Lame. Yeah, very lame! Apping out and exploring the lay of the land in as much detail as possible with the rovers and drones right? What does that look like? Well, I'll tell you we're off to a really great start right? So Artemis 2 just a month and change ago. We got to watch those four amazing astronauts fly around the moon bring them back safely home to Earth re-establish NASA back in the business of sending astronauts to the lunar environment Artemis 3 is going to start stacking this summer and then Gearpoint in parallel while we're getting our astronauts ready for that grand return we're building the moon base. So today, we had some incredible announcements first three missions that will go to the moon uncrewed robotic ones later this summer but we also announced two rovers on the lunar surface that have autonomous and crew capability but this is just the beginning were talking about a twenty billion dollar investment over the next seven years to establish an enduring presence on the Moon realize its scientific economic potential

1:24:05 and master the skills for where we go next, and where we go next is Mars. Oh please do tell me what is the scientific and economic potential? What is it? I have no idea but I'll tell you this much if they're gonna spend 20 billion dollars to put a moon base up...I think we spent 120 billion for our high-speed rail in California that doesn't even have one inch of track laid! Well in that regard maybe we should Take some of our money. In that regard, I think you're right the money is rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things but i can predict what's going to happen. Get your calci bets! I'm gonna over-predict after you're done predicting. I mean a meta predict my prediction is Artemis 3 probably but Artemis 4 when they actually gonna send people to the moon blow up it's gonna blow up

CHAPTER 27 / 54 Discussion

Helium-3 Extraction, Lunar Economy Skepticism

The "Book of Knowledge" defines Helium-3 as a potential fuel for future fusion reactors and a component in quantum computing. NASA officials suggest that extracting Helium-3 from the moon could spark a "lunar economy." The hosts remain doubtful, predicting that the Artemis missions will face significant delays or technical failures before achieving these goals.

helium-3· quantum computing· nuclear fusion· lunar economy· book of knowledge

1:24:57 It's gonna be sad and it's gonna blow up, and it's gonna be death. And it's going to be no good." That's my prediction. Your meta-prediction? They're not gonna do jack! What what what do you mean? Nothing blows up nothing happens. Yack yack yak they're gonna talk talk talk. If I had a couple of robots up there... One of them will stop working and then they won't know what to quite do. This is just get put off 2028 They're supposed to send the Artemis up with the people no, okay All right that NASA too if I understand this correctly You know extraction of helium-3 again that is probably pretty far on the horizon But we're talking about nuclear power that may not be a question

1:25:39 What, what? They're answering my question. Your question was what are they get-what is-what are you talking about where they gonna get out of it? What do we need to extract? Helium 3! So... what is the cost of extracting helium three from the m-what is helium three?! I think it's used for, you know... Balloons! Balloons. It's not used for balloons. For party balloons. No, it has to do with nuclear power why don't you ask the book of knowledge to explain it? Okay, I shall. Book of Knowledge What is the use of helium-3? All right here we go. The book of knowledge is scribbling away and looking for answers for us all

1:26:24 According to the book of knowledge, Helium-3 serves four primary earthly purposes. Neutron detection for security screening... What? Dilution refrigerators for ultra low temperature physics... medical imaging including lung MRI scans and as potential fuel for future and neutronic fusion reactors. Listen to this... Nearly 80% of current helium-3 is used for security purposes worldwide For security purposes, for scanning you at the airport! That, oh wow I'm so happy we're doing that NOSA. If i understand this correctly you know extraction of helium-3 again that is probably pretty far on the horizon but we're talking about nuclear power that may not have any radioactive fallout there's all kinds of things we could do with helium. Bullcrap! Oh bull crap! Oh all kind of fusion yeah here we go What do you think sizable amounts of helium 3 would do to a space economy if we could... Space economy?

1:27:23 Alright, how about Earth economy? Extract it from the moon. So helium-3 has applications for quantum computing and to your point... No! No it doesn't! Quantum computing everybody! ...an efficient fuel source for it what I will say is there is helium 3 here on earth we can manufacture in fact a lot of the reactors up north are capable of doing it but the question will be will there be so much demand That helium-3 from the lunar surface. Oh, so much demand for quantum computing! Okay goodnight NASA. Actually sparks that lunar economy or maybe there is economic potential. We don't know we haven't been there in a really long time and we're going back we're putting a heck of a demand signal out there I mean there's gonna be so many landers and rovers on the lunar surface certainly they were gonna have our astronauts there infrequently at first until you get to the point where it may be... Who is this? Is this the guy?

CHAPTER 28 / 54 Discussion

Orbital Economy, High-Speed Rail Comparison

NASA's vision includes manufacturing rocket propellant on the moon and developing an "orbital economy." The hosts compare the $20 billion NASA budget to the $100 billion spent on California's high-speed rail project, which has yet to lay any track. They argue that while the space budget is large, it is relatively small compared to domestic infrastructure failures.

orbital economy· propellant manufacturing· california high-speed rail· nasa· space exploration

1:28:22 the is a nasa head and also i had lost it he's alone i think they found him in an insane asylum operational base similar to how we keep a continuous presence in lower th orbit on the international space station so there may be a lunar economy but what we do know if there is water ice their and our astronauts will work with it began to master those skills that are going to imperative because not to have some future if we can put ashton soon will be able to put them on mars hard part is how do you bring them back? And manufacturing propellant on the moon is a great place to figure it out when you're four or five days away from home and really get good at it before you send astronauts nine months, year away from home on Mars where they're going to have to be incredibly good at those skills. I'm against all of this! This is the worst idea ever who cares open the straits

1:29:13 Give me $3 gas, then we can talk about moon stuff. It's gonna be all the lunar economy! Okay... The price tag that you kicked around at the top of this conversation still 20 billion but obviously mass drivers excluded in that but is that realistic? Nuts Oh, very realistic. Oh absolutely! I mean if you take a look at the resources that President Trump has made available between the Working Family Tax Cut Act that's $10 billion one time plus up in NASA and the single biggest supplemental investment since the Kennedy era A large portion of that going into exploration which is putting American astronauts back on the moon to stay which is the Moon base And then I think you take a look at 26 appropriations the president's budget request

1:30:00 We absolutely have the resources and not only that, to dial it up. To get those landers on the moon, get the rovers there, to learn in that unique environment... You're right! We're getting the- we're not getting people on the moon, we're getting uh.... Way most on the moon robots robots, okay impress me to inform phase two and phase three to realize that enduring presence on the on the moon and do all the other things our explain portfolio the orbital economy you know what What? We went from the lunar economy to our... Our X-plane portfolio, the orbital economy. The orbital economy! A lot of agonamage going on

1:30:44 The space economy, the lunar economy, the orbital economy. You know lots of great missions of science and discovery like Roman and Dragonfly. Roman and Dragonfly? Oh they're just throwing out words now! That's SpaceX though... The public should rightfully have high expectations for what NASA can deliver with their research. I have very high expectations. ...sources available we intend to show them Land a dude there. All right, show me that yeah and just to put things in perspective I mean 20 billion for a lunar base here in California We're still waiting for that link from LA to San Francisco on that 100 billion NASA Thank you so much for joining us thank you so much for that information Thank you, so incredibly happy it's so happy about this. That's great That's just fantastic. I got to play an interregnum

Ferrari Luce EV, Jony Ive Design

Ferrari unveils the "Luce," its first all-electric vehicle, designed in collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive. The car features a body made partly of Corning glass and an electronic amplification system to mimic traditional engine sounds. Market analysts express concern that the $640,000 EV may "cheapen" the Ferrari brand, leading to a drop in share prices.

ferrari luce· jony ive· electric vehicles· corning glass· engine sound

1:31:39 Another one Wow, we're into Regnum full today. Have you seen the show title in a regular? Oh no I wrote it down have you seen the new Ferrari The electric one this doofus looking ones yes, I mean as a kid growing up You know, you had your matchbox cars. Your Hot Wheels... A Ferrari that was like a thing you knew you'd never have but it was cool and see one driving like ah it's a Ferrari. We knew which version, which model Ferrari it was. Oh there goes yeah! Yeah an Enzo! Exactly he is sitting in the middle look at that the Enzo And then this thing comes along

1:32:21 I mean, what a dog! And and i got this report on it which made so much sense once i heard about. It is called the Luce. It's the first all-electric Ferrari in numbers well at least they're impressive 1 035 horsepower from four electric motors zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds five seats and a starting price get ready for it six hundred and forty thousand dollars that's the starting price But the design, well as one analyst said the market has spoken. Ferrari shares down about four and a half percent on concerns that the Luce will cheapen the brand and add significant costs that will be hard to recover

1:33:01 Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna telling CNBC that the Ferrari looks different because EVs are different. This guy is about to be out of a job When you have new technology, you need to make sure that that technology is properly represented in the design By making it look like a piece of crap The design must be different It's different like stupid You have to respect the different needs, the different wishes of the clients. So we will have clients already existing client that will take it and some a clients that are not client today some people who were not client today that will get in our community Now wait for this is what I was expecting this part And it certainly is different The luce was designed with Johnny Ive! They let the gay guy design it You just got clip of the day for this one

Mayor Mamdani, Wall Street Backlash

New York City Mayor Mamdani meets with banking executives, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, to address concerns over his "tax-the-rich" agenda. Dimon warns that socialist economic schemes are driving wealth and businesses out of New York to states like Texas. The hosts note that JPMorgan now has more employees in Texas than in New York.

jamie dimon· jp morgan· mayor mamdani· new york city· texas

1:35:27 Our socialist mayor of New York met with the bankers? Yeah, I saw that. I thought that was kind of interesting. I have two clips here. Mayor Mamdani spent most of yesterday afternoon meeting with the folks who helped make New York City the financial capital of the world to try to contain that backlash you mentioned. Mamdani met with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon at their new headquarters in Midtown Mamdani's office sharing with Fox Business that the pair discussed quote, how the public and private sectors can collaborate to deliver both excellent public goods and a thriving city where all New Yorkers can succeed. From JP Morgan's perspective they said that the meeting was constructive and included the importance of quote keeping this city competitive but

1:36:13 But JP Morgan has been signaling with hiring moves that they're more optimistic about other markets. The firm has reduced their headcount in New York and now has more employees in Texas than they do in the Big Apple. That's because we have a stock exchange opening up here in Texas, in Austin actually I think Momdani also met with Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon at Gracie Mansion. Neither the city nor Goldman Sachs has given Fox Business a readout of that meeting. These talks are the latest efforts by Momdani to make nice with the business community as he continues to push initiatives like city run grocery stores and massive tax increases on second homes. Momdani has also been meeting with other Wall Street executives from Bank Of America and Blackstone, the world's largest commercial real estate owner

1:36:59 His office has also reached out to Citadel founder Ken Griffin, whom Mamdani previously criticized publicly over his New York City penthouse with that second home tax. Citadel telling Fox Business that Griffin welcomes thoughtful serious conversations about the policies that can grow the city's economy and create more opportunities for all New Yorkers and that quote reckless political theater serves no purpose. No meeting has been announced yet. And there was a readout, in fact they had a quote from Jamie Dimon about this meeting later in the day. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warning progressive left leaders are driving wealth and business and taxpayers out with their tax-the-rich agenda and socialist economic schemes. Can't demonize success! The Wall Street Titan also sending a blunt message

1:37:47 to New York's Mayor Mamdani saying he doesn't care what the socialist says but he is watching what he does. They think that somehow being anti-business is going to help the city. It's not, so we all want to pay fair taxes and that's not the point but at one point people have moved their feet and there are a lot of studies have shown that all these people move down and obviously New York is booming you're not gonna see it in this year's taxes but a lot of people paying billions dollars tax left Why do you want that? How does that help the lower paid person in New York Yeah, so it sounds like Jamie Donnelly was not so happy with that meeting. And the guy's no good and you know who is back on the scene? Talk about algos! The one, the only Pastor Manning from Atla Ministries is back

CHAPTER 31 / 54 Discussion

Pastor Manning, Anti-Mamdani Rant

Sydney Drone Show Mishap, Security Risks

1:41:46 Yeah, of course you can't. You know the hackers in the mentality and somebody's gonna do it yeah? Yeah, yeah Okay local local news Texas local news Texas News Oh, yeah Paxton yes packs your buddy Paxton and but yeah And yeah, you want to say Cornyn yeah so you know that the runoff is complete and Sorry, this is an Amy Goodman clip. A real quick one though. And in Texas the state's Attorney General Ken Paxton backed by President Trump defeated four-term incumbent Senator John Cornyn and the Republican Senate primary runoff Tuesday. Paxton has previously been indicted on charges of felony securities fraud

1:42:36 fraud, and was impeached from office on allegations of bribery, dereliction of duty, obstruction of justice and abuse of public trust. Paxton is the first primary challenger to defeat an incumbent U.S. senator from Texas since at least 1980. The Republican candidate spent nearly $130 million, making it the most expensive Senate primary in U.S. history. Paxton now faces Democratic nominee State Representative James Tallarico in the general election in November. Now this is the fight to watch. This is the interesting one. Tallarico's an interesting person. He's a screwball isn't he? Yes. So

1:43:24 He went to seminary school, so he's a pastor. He says... I don't know what kind of seminary school they went to because it was all about the LGBTQ and God is a woman and he said all kinds of interesting things. Right! God is a woman, trans are the future. Yeah precisely All this sort of Texas stuff So were going yes well you know The Austinites, Houstonites, the Dallestonians They love this guy. Oh, he's a Christian? Oh well He's a Christian so you know and of course Paxton is also a Christian And then here's the line-of-attack that Tallarico will be using Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallerico Thank you so much and welcome back time okay hold on a second I

CHAPTER 34 / 54 Discussion

James Tallarico, Corruption Allegations Against Paxton

Democratic nominee James Tallarico attacks Ken Paxton as "the most corrupt politician in America," citing his impeachment by his own party. The hosts discuss Tallarico's progressive religious views, including his description of God as "non-binary." They also debate Paxton's standing within the Christian right and his influence as a "player" in Trump's inner circle.

james tallarico· ken paxton· corruption· non-binary god· texas politics

1:44:11 I maya culpa he said God is non-binary. I'm sorry it's so much better than God as a woman Democratic Senate nominee and state representative James Tallarico Thank you, so much and welcome back to ion politics So now we know you're gonna be facing Republican Ken Paxton in November You've wasted no time you come right out and called him the most corrupt politician in the United States And I'm wondering how How convincing an argument will this be for voters in this Republican state? Well, I want us to step back and appreciate the gravity of what happened last night. The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate right here in Texas

1:44:54 Three years ago today, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office. His position of public trust to enrich himself and his donors at our expense that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why we can't afford anything, it's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work for 50 years billionaire mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have rigged this economy against us they've rigged the political system against us and I think in this election you're gonna see Texans coming together Democrats Independents and Republicans to

1:45:39 to defeat the most corrupt politician in America. And if we can do that in this race, in this year and this state then I think we can defeat this entire corrupt system and that's when we can start to unrig the economy start raising our pay, start cutting our taxes and lowering our costs He fails at the end though he is like we gotta get you know this guy is corrupt there no good once we get that guy out then all of a sudden we can lower taxes how does that make any sense? Those two don't compete, don't compute. I think it's going to be an interesting race to watch. So I have a question for you. You're the Texan? Yes And I asked the question before about Cornyn and now i'm asking this Did anybody do due diligence on Paxton? Why did he get picked as and knighted by Trump? Paxton sounds like a bad guy to push into this position

1:46:38 I think this is the Christian vote. As i said before, Paxson is in the faith office with Paula White and that whole crowd there he's in the West Wing all the time He's in Trumps face! He has got Trumps ear Yes sir Mr President The lobbyists love him because the guy is a player That's why...He'll do whatever Trump tells him to I don't think he's a great guy. At all! No, you've said this before...

1:47:16 Well, I'm answering... He's a creep. Yeah he is a creep and he has done dumb nasty things. Well i don't think he was a good candidate just listening to what you just played! I don't think so either and I don't think it was a very good Attorney General in fact that he was about attorney general I will say Chip Roy did not become attorney general I am glad about that I didn't like that guy either I've seen that guy I met him several times swarmy Another guy, yeah. No I don't like Chipotle. Smarmy? Yeah smarmy, smarmy shwarmy shwarma whatever Don't like him. Uh...I only have one more uh sequence here i want to play two clips this is um to show you how dishonest surprise surprise miz now is

CHAPTER 35 / 54 Discussion

Joe Rogan, Trump IRS Settlement Context

The hosts debunk media reports claiming Joe Rogan turned against Donald Trump over a "thug fund." They clarify that Rogan was actually discussing a legal settlement where the IRS is barred from auditing Trump's *past* tax filings due to previous illegal leaks. They criticize the media for taking Rogan's comments out of context to suggest Trump is immune from all future audits.

joe rogan· donald trump· irs· tax returns· media bias

1:48:03 This is, although I did like the term that was created here. But they brought in Joe Rogan and so i have to stick up for Joe Donald Trump not helping his midterm chances either with the thug fund we are seeing now bipartisan I think thug fund is good That's a good term well Well why is it a good term because I don't like It sticks for the Democrats Yeah, the fund it's Doug fun. Yeah I think I think it works what does it refer to? It doesn't immediately come to, what the reason I don't like is because it doesn't bring anything to mind. Okay well i thought it was good we can disagree Donald Trump not helping that's not that's not what the clip is about Donald Trump not helping his midterm health chances either with The Thug Fund We are seeing now bipartisan outrage if you tune out of the news over a long weekend It has only been building since a contentious meeting at the end of the week Republicans are upset and other trump loyalists including longtime MAGA allied podcaster Joe Rogan also speaking out

1:49:03 That is so crazy. Imagine like what? He's MAGA allied all of a sudden? Oh yeah, oh yeah but then listen listen so it's about the thug fund it's about the 1.776 billion dollars... Oh! It's about that money that's gonna go to the people they got screwed by the Jan 6th A-holes The J6ers yes exactly and then he brings in Rogan Including longtime MAGA Allied podcaster Joe Rogan also speaking out That is so crazy. Imagine like somebody accused you of murder and it turns out you weren't guilty that murderer, and then you sue them You go, you can never prosecute me for murder again And then just goes straight Uday Hussain Yeah, and they're like it's cool This is crazy Rogan is not feeling it

1:49:50 Now, I heard that. Is he even talking about the same thing? No of course not! He's talking about the fact they had clips in the last show which we didn't play about Trump not getting prosecuted for IRS offenses Right but even if it was about that The clip is disingenuous. I pulled the clip! Didn't Trump do a lot of, like stock purchases? He's made a fortune in this term They made a settlement with the IRS and that's why a lot of it came out recently but he can't be charged with anything Yeah they can't be...the latest thing is that he and his kids and his company cannot be audited

1:50:32 Oh, that's cool. That is cool What was the settlement what was the IRS being sued for what was the accusation It was for his the leak to leak of his tax returns Okay So the IRS leaked his tax returns he yeah He said they were reckless and and yeah settlement of this ten billion dollar lawsuit 2018 leak of his tax returns to New York Times the in the US is forever barred and precluded from examining or prosecuting Trump his sons and The Trump organization's current tax filings according to one-page document released Tuesday. That is so crazy Imagine like somebody accused you a murder Yeah, and it turns out you weren't guilty that murder And then you sue them ego you can never prosecute me for murder again

1:51:21 and then you just go straight Uday Hussain. So he took a clip completely out of context, and then Joe and I think it was Tom Segura they actually stumble upon the little bit that is also not reported about this settlement And they're like it's cool Yeah, it's oh that is the only thing that the detail of that art is part of that settlement That says that um like the language that they cannot be met for their current tax filings Does that mean though that in the future? Future filings also fall under that immunity Exactly. It's only about previous filings

Candace Owens, Hunter Biden Interview

Candace Owens and Hunter Biden discuss theories regarding the validity of assassination attempts against Donald Trump. The conversation touches on skepticism surrounding Erica Kirk's reaction to her husband's death. The hosts analyze the market for "conspiratorial" thinking and how algorithms feed this content to "non-playing characters" (NPCs) in the digital space.

candace owens· hunter biden· assassination attempts· erica kirk· psy-ops

1:52:01 But everyone makes it look like, oh he can never be audited again in his life. Yeah! It's bullcrap. Good work media Well good work if you work for the Democrats or people who just hate Trump Basically they've propagated a lie Exactly You know and it's the old I am what I say you are Precisely That's why we're here Yeah, that's exactly right. If it wasn't for us nobody would know anything. Breaking news! Yes How about this going to Hunter Biden showing up on Candace Owens and the two of them windbagging? Now was this a new interview or was it an old interview that was unclear to me It was unclear to me Whether its Butler or Charlie or these things

1:52:55 Well, it's definitely after Charlie so it has to be fairly new. So glaringly not right? It is almost as if they are just saying F you! They're not even trying We don't get good PSYOPs anymore and that what I keep saying It's disrespectful that we are not getting good PSYOPs anymore like were supposed to believe he survived four assassination attempts the first president who ever survived four assassination attempts They quietly lied about things and make a big deal it's going to go away. They're going to keep pretending and telling us that this is a totally normal grieving widow, okay? No one's buying that like somethings just not right here everyone can see that this is not how you would react to your husband being shot and the sort of just I'm fine and two weeks later I fully accept the narrative I have no interest in anything else its over let's close it I forgive him lets move on

1:53:45 You're asking us to abandon our common sense and our humanity is what you're asking us to do. And that kind of seems like where we're at, like they're insisting on this and I'm going where it's just gonna go because We're not doing the thing they want us to do like they are just constantly giving a slop all this time I mean even the recent White House Correspondents dinner there was so much theater To it after or so much theater and now it's kind of okay Secret Service maybe shot each other and we're just gonna kind of quietly move on but Trump needs a ballroom Like that, that's a normal reaction. Hey, there's a shooting duck. Well, hopefully better get that ballroom by the way It's gonna cost a billion dollars now And by the way is not from donors and by the way, we're gonna do it like it's just like it's just the constant

1:54:26 But they talk about gaslighting. It's been this has been just this and we're not even are we even a year into Trump second term? We're little over you, little over your second shot and I don't think there's just been OK so what I understand from this clip is they think that all of the assassination attempts are fake and that Erica Kirk killed her own husband Yeah okay You got it you nailed it you pulled it right out of my hat yeah Even My Wife Says, I don't trust Erica. There's something up with her. Yeah there's something up with her and yeah, I-I don't go into... We have an agreement about that it's like we're not gonna argue about that but yeah alright and you know and she and Erica she was grooming grooming some girl Greta she was very suspicious

1:55:24 I think that it's just a, uh...I think there is market for this kind of thinking. No kidding! There is a big market for it And its just feeding the market and it doesn't...and its basically and I hate to say they are NPCS but they're kinda non-playing characters that are not important. Noooo, I disagree on the NPC part. I think you were right about the first part there is a big market for this CD Algos I was talking abou earlier And people like this. They like to think this way It's a lot more fun I did it for a long time This is why people say, I got a great note the other day I think your Texas boomerism and financial security has clouded your judgment What does that even mean? Well One, i'm a boomer And...I'm not but okay There you are I'm Boomer adjacent

CHAPTER 37 / 54 Discussion

Financial Security, Boomer vs. Gen X Labels

The hosts respond to listener feedback regarding their "financial security" and "boomerism." One host clarifies that despite being "boomer adjacent," they identify more with Generation X. They emphasize that their "financial security" is a result of constant work, including broadcasting on holidays and Sundays, rather than passive wealth.

1:56:21 No, you're a boomer. You're millennial adjacent or ex-gen or whatever it is. Yeah I'm gen X adjacent. You're x adjacent? I was literally the face of generation X but okay three months three months of boomer territory call me a boomers fine but the funniest one is your financial security what I look at the road ahead and like I'm gonna be doing podcasting for a long long time Why do you think I'm podcasting when i go away for a weekend to worship Jesus?

Kars 4 Kids, California Advertising Ban

A California judge bans "Kars 4 Kids" advertisements in the state, ruling that the charity misled donors about where their money went.

The hosts discuss the effectiveness of the "earworm" jingle despite the controversy.

1:57:47 We knew it years ago. Thirteen years ago we knew that this was a Jewish organization in New Jersey Yeah, Hasidz from Brooklyn That had nothing to do with Cars for Kids We're back now with that infamous Cars for Kids commercial The jingle that probably just got stuck in your head the second I said the name But tonight the music is stopping in California where a judge has banned the ads Steve Patterson explains why One eight seven ten That Cars 4 Kids jingle. An earworm that lives rent-free in people's heads. Cars for kids, a business model you don't understand and the jingle that will haunt you forever!

1:58:33 Nate, 7-7 cars for kids. But if you live in California a judge ruling that the charity has 30 days to pull the ads from state airways for violating false advertising laws The lawsuit was filed by Bruce Peuterbaugh who donated his Volvo after he says that melody got to him But he says he felt misled after learning where the money actually went. According to testimony from the charity's COO, much of it goes to a New Jersey based Jewish organization which uses the funds for summer camps trips to Israel even a matchmaking service He doesn't care that it's going to Jewish kids. He just wanted to know that because maybe he wanted to send it

1:59:16 poor disadvantaged kids in California, which is what he thought the ads were doing. The judge finding that children especially needy or underprivileged children were not the exclusive recipients of the donations. The nonprofit calling the decision deeply flawed saying it's well known that we are a Jewish organization and our website makes it abundantly clear adding that they plan to appeal Steve Patterson, NBC News Los Angeles. So here's my life... Here's my life! You bring this clip, I'm praying that... Oh, I hope we never have to play this clip. I mean, I had the clip and like didn't play it. Yeah you're looking at the rock. This is... Yes! But I see the clip every single time he's recycling a Cars for Kids clip again And then okay so then you call for it We play it and what's the first thing I get? WTF Curry playing The Jingle on the show It's John's Clip

2:00:16 me people. I remember the best line is that I donated a car to the cars for kids and i never got a kid it's not funny, this is a horrible way to go into a donation segment It's probably the worst thing you could ever do before a donation segment well I'll tell you one thing it does It emphasizes something that we don't talk about much anymore, but we've talked about in the past. Jingles work! This is true. We have a jingle expert that's part of our crew basically he's an ancillary, no agenda adjacent and jingles work and we use them for that reason Yes I guess so

Here it is, the Podcast Index is here to preserve protect and extend the open independent podcast ecosystem and at one point we had in there freedom of speech I don't see that on there anymore we have that but it was the whole thing was started because podcasts were being de-platformed That's why Dave Jones and I started

2:05:17 And he didn't like that. Oh, you're freeze speech huh? That's the freeze peach people that infected the No Agenda Social which we both had to bail out from I can't remember what the big deal was. They always used to use the term freeze speech, peach. So he always has to do things differently so instead of... We developed a couple things with podcast index and with Podcasting 2.0 we developed chapters and transcripts there's 25 other ones. So we make transcripts of our show

2:06:00 We put that in the RSS feed and then the modern podcast apps pick that up. If you don't have transcripts, and almost every podcast host now delivers transcripts along with your files What Apple started doing is, Apple started making transcripts for podcasts that didn't have transcripts. Which is... you know okay that's Apple they want to do that The idea is if I have my own transcript My own then you should take my transcript You shouldn't be using your transcript would you agree? Right exactly there's nothing but that makes nothing but sense

2:06:38 So, do you think that once Overcast, Marco's app started to do transcripts? Do you think he would use our transcript instead of... I'm guessing no. No! And so here is how the transcripts showed up for our previous show as the jingle played, the jingle being It's Craig Bond and Boss Kill! In the morning. How do you think that show... Now, on... it shows up fine in our transcript how does it show up in the Overcast transcript? I'm sure it's very poor. Craig Bond and Boss Kill

2:07:19 What? Yes, exactly. Craig as in Craig. You're Craig? Craig Bond and... Bond you're Craig Bond yes and your boss kill B-O-S And I'm Boss Kill B-o-s K-I-L-L Yeah! Use our transcript Marco He's not even listening to this. No, no doubt anyway that's why you want a modern podcast app that doesn't suck and We don't have ads we don't have ads I think over the Overcast app has ads The adds if you didn't let you pay for it So you don't get ads if you don't pay for us You don't pay for us then That's your own conscience you have to deal with all he asked for is value in exchange For the value we deliver now If you got no value from it fine

Boots on the Ground, Flavored Vapes CDC Resignation

"Boots on the ground" reports suggest that a high-ranking CDC official resigned because Donald Trump forced the approval of flavored vapes. Other listener feedback covers the use of kratom and the "government teat." The hosts emphasize the importance of these field reports in providing information not covered by mainstream media.

cdc· flavored vapes· boots on the ground· kratom· lobbying

2:08:04 Why are you listening? If you did get value, then you should probably consider at some point sending that value back to the show. It's a very simple system we've been living by it for over 18 years is called Value For Value Now you can deliver that value to us in time talent or treasured as kind of again very simple idea and Value comes in many different ways when it comes to time and talent. Many people will organize meetups, also known as... what are they? Teen...? What is the term?

2:08:43 Teen takeover. Teen take, yeah no agenda take over. No agenda take over so you can do that um you can help us out with boots on the ground always very helpful boots on the ground and man lots of people sending kratom boots on the ground various various types of feedback most of them saying i've been chewing those leaves forever I feel great And some like, well my mom is loopy but she may be on the synthetic stuff. Okay? But it's all appreciated we take it all into account Oh one other boots on the ground I got a boots-on-the-ground back from our lobbyist about the flavored vapes and The CDC guy quitting okay and she tapped her network in DC and indeed Trump forcing him to approve the flavored vapes was the reason he quit

2:09:36 That was the last straw, which seems like an odd hill to die on. Yeah I'd say it is an odd hill to die on! I think he wanted to quit anyway... Nah i think so too So we always want to have a nice piece of art representing the show for our album art. Another thing that we've been using for a long time, pretty much from almost the beginning of the show ever since the first Art Generator showed up Sir Paul Couture doing that another great example of value for value. Actually it was Couture no it was Randy and me There was also another guy, Randy. I can't remember his last name because we lost him he's overboard. He's dead maybe he's dead. Randy...I can't remember his name. There was an original Art Generator which is missing and then it kind of just faded and Paul Couture took over and did a whole new one and now it's the king of the art generator. But with the original one still had some pieces that are lost to time Oh no! And then you remember Drop.io?

CHAPTER 42 / 54 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Drop.io Data Loss

The hosts discuss the history of the No Agenda Art Generator and the importance of self-hosting content after losing data when Drop.io was sold to Facebook. They praise "Blue Acorn" for a traditional Memorial Day piece and "Nessworks" for an elaborate Photoshop creation, encouraging producers to continue submitting high-quality artwork.

no agenda art· drop.io· blue acorn· photoshop· digital preservation

2:10:41 Do you remember? Yeah, I remember drop.io You remember so...I was publishing show notes and art and everything on drop.io And that was the big lesson about Silicon Valley We woke up one morning and oh we've shut it down We sold to, I think it was maybe Facebook. And then all of a sudden you can't use it. It's gone! All of our content was gone. That's when we started hosting things ourselves and lots of producers have stepped up for that. Anyway the artwork...we wanted something very traditional. We typically do that on days of importance like Memorial Day Blue Acorn understood it perfectly and did this dynamite piece

2:11:17 With just an eagle with his feathers all like, it's a very energetic piece. Like, hey don't mess with Merka! Memorial Day and it was beautiful piece of blue acorn and we unanimously decided that's the one we want now A lot of people took this to a very strange level because hey I can prompt why not? And, you know it's not appropriate to have thanked the fallen for their courage. No Ryan M Scott no that was odd very strange we had Memorial Day alien combination no we're looking for Mother's day Christmas Easter Veterans Day Memorial Day You know We're looking for something traditional and we got it from Blue Acorn

2:12:09 We also learned that, I think it... didn't we get an email from Nessworks? Yes. The previous art that we selected was very... Yes, Nesswork sent a elaborate email explaining how he uses Photoshop Yeah! Which we suspected. Yes, that was the flamingo with the drones. Yep. Yeah and how he did it And so it was Photoshop. It's good, we love seeing... and we just chose it because it was a good piece that proves that doesn't all have to be slopped to get chosen. NoahJennerArtGenerator.com That is how you support us with your photographic and prompting talent? We appreciate that!

Mm-hmm and I'm supposed to and I've taken too much of it I'm putting up with too much of your of your mean spirited Bullying I wish I could come up with a synonym for bully, but I can't. Let's read the note and see what he actually says because your explanation seems a little over-the-top. John you have become too agreeable this is understandable given what just happened to you and i'm not talking about your heart surgery ah! You can't hide behind that

2:15:10 You experienced an immense outpouring of love after your absence.

Instagram Lockout, No Agenda Social Media

Adam Curry describes being locked out of his personal Instagram account due to a "device recognition" loop, preventing him from promoting the new official No Agenda podcast Instagram page. The hosts lament the "Silicon Valley model" of automated support that leaves users stranded, comparing it to similar issues with Google and Twitter.

instagram· silicon valley· account lockout· social media· technical support

2:16:06 I guess an example of that would be me complaining about you bringing dumb women clips onto the show. That is... I love the dumb women! Was i not nice? I'm just trying to keep people listening to the show, it's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to help this show And we should mention something as an aside and don't want to change the subject but It should have been brought up earlier in the show We now have an official No Agenda podcast Insta account Insta?! No agenda podcast, it's Adam and John are the proprietors. I'm not! We need a thousand...a couple of thousand people to subscribe to this thing so it said no agenda podcast all one word Instagram So I've been kicked off Instagram?

2:16:59 What? Yeah. My account, which I only use to check in on my daughter and post a picture on her birthday Adam C1999... I was told when I went to log in that you need to login from a device that has had the app used with Instagram before Well, I've never used the Instagram app So okay, I install the Instagram app login and it says no. No! But... And it will send an email to my email address and say yeah you can't reset your password or even log in until

2:17:41 You prove that you are Adam by logging in, in the app on a device that has been used for Instagram before. So I'm in a hole. I can't get out, I can't get in and I can't even see our own Instagram account." Well you're there! I just searched you, adamstreet1999...

CHAPTER 52 / 54 Discussion

Jordan Peterson and Morgan Freeman ISOs

The hosts present two new "In Search Of" (ISO) audio clips featuring AI-generated or impersonated voices of Jordan Peterson and Morgan Freeman. While the Peterson clip encourages young men to listen to the show, the Freeman clip is criticized for being too generic. They decide to use the Peterson clip for future promotions.

2:41:27 Still to come, John's tip of the day. They've been good lately See I'm being nice they've been very- I have been so good your tips are there just so fantastic you're the best Is it working?

CHAPTER 53 / 54 Discussion

Tip of the Day, Freeze-Dried Blueberries

John C. Dvorak's "Tip of the Day" recommends freeze-dried blueberries as a superior snack due to their crunchy texture and high antioxidant value. He suggests purchasing them from Trader Joe's or Amazon, noting they are low in sodium and sugar compared to other processed snacks.

2:43:55 They don't listen to this either, but it's beside the point. I'm making it clear and so please make that correct. There is another correction involving that tip is you can't get in a big giant bottle. It's only small packs. Tiny pack. All right now, that's good. That's a correction? I have ordered. I am excited to try it. It's a correction. Okay! So today's Tip of The Day is now I'm looking at these, and I'm thinking what we paid is too much. But I'm not sure what the cost was on these because there's a million different versions of this product and you're gonna have to try different ones to see which ones you like but I am telling ya the best snack I've run into in the last decade freeze dried blueberries. These things are unbelievable

2:44:51 They taste like, they have the quality of corn pops. So they're just crunchier than it... They're just crunchy and you can't eat enough of them. In fact a bag that I got from Trader Joe's and you can get these at Trader Joe's in their... Trader Joe's is in 43 of the 52 states so you could go get them there. You cross the state line to get him son! And so Trader Joe's has them. But they also, if you go to Amazon there is about 30 vendors of these things and there are all different kinds of freeze dried fruits What is the sugar content per serving? It's pretty low Really? Blueberries don't have a lot of sugar anyway They're good source of protein

2:45:36 It's a good source of a lot of things and they're very low in sodium and low in potassium. They're outstanding product. High antioxidant value? Yes, high antioxidant but the one pack turns out to be one serving and there is quite a few of them here but you end up... You can't stop eating them. They are worse than olives. Oh man! Olives I hear ya. Have you ever had the Louisiana pickles Louisiana pickles? I don't know what that is. What's special about them? Oh, now this producer and he doesn't... You haven't gotten those Louisiana pickles? No one sent me anything. Okay but i'll have him send some to you Yeah send some The sweetest show it's great okay Anyway back to your blueberries Anyways so freeze dried blueberries check it out Freeze? Is this the kind that tries to run down the hotel hallway? Huh? No! You don't remember

CHAPTER 54 / 54 Discussion

Outro, Trump Reflecting Pool Mix

The show concludes with a musical "end of show mix" by MVP and Just Baker, featuring Donald Trump's detailed description of the Washington Monument reflecting pool renovation. The hosts sign off with their traditional catchphrases, "Adios Mofos" and "Hoooey Hoooey," and remind listeners to return for the Sunday broadcast.

The Biden administration and the Obama administration spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get it to work, and they failed and will be spending... You'll give me a number." And for the most part, it didn't work I mean, they wouldn't even have water in there. But when they did it was just dirty filthy water that leaked out and we got to work on it And they were supposed to cost almost 400 think of it $400 million because it's like putting the skin on a skyscraper but bigger much bigger many Skyscrapers you could almost say other than for the world so I think of it feet

2:50:52 So we went to work, and over the years I built hundreds of pools. I built them every time I built them! I always liked to build the Olympic-sized swimming pool And i was very aware of swimming pool What goes into making a swimming pool? Four hundred million dollars...I don't know You never know with cost over run We have to And seven minutes later, POTUS was still talking about his Trump like the most beautiful blue very thick.
