About this episode

The Supreme Court of the United States has officially struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship, with Chief Justice John Roberts authoring a majority opinion that upholds the 14th Amendment. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito issued a sharp dissent, while LULAC CEO Juan Pranio praised the ruling for preventing hundreds of thousands of children from becoming stateless. Following the decision, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressional Republicans are reportedly pivoting to a legislative roadmap provided by Justice Brett Kavanaugh to address birth tourism and the SAVE Act.

In the technology sector, Ford CEO Jim Farley announced a major shift back to human labor for the F-150 assembly line after AI-driven sensors failed to maintain quality standards. Meanwhile, Palantir CEO Alex Karp used a CNBC appearance to warn corporate America that current AI tokens are effectively a tax on enterprise intellectual property, leading to a direct partnership with Nvidia focused on data sovereignty. These warnings coincide with a massive Microsoft Patch Tuesday failure that trapped users in BitLocker loops and reports of a 40,000-acre data center project in Utah led by investor Kevin O'Leary.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast live from Museum Square in Amsterdam, marking the 20th anniversary of the passing of Curry’s mother with a family reunion. The duo breaks down the Empire State Building antenna climb by Angela Nicolaou and Vanya Birkas, revealing it as a coordinated promotional stunt for a Netflix documentary. Between historical anecdotes about trading a six-pack of beer for the Bud.com domain and critiques of the America 250 celebrations, the hosts explore the rise of Ozempic-related side effects and the future of AI-monitored policing proposed by Larry Ellison.

He describes an interaction with a flight attendant who recognized him not as a media figure, but as the father of his daughter, Christina. The anecdote serves as a humorous reflection on his past fame and current status.

Supreme Court, Trump Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship

The Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling rejecting President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion upholding the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born on U.S. soil. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito dissented, with Alito calling the decision a serious mistake.

supreme court· donald trump· birthright citizenship· 14th amendment· john roberts· samuel alito

05:29 Yeah, that's with us alive and in it dude. We'll sell the show for five! What are you talking about? I'm selling it for two! Good to go! Take it over please! And now its time for 3 by 3 Experiment by JCD Comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC The never ending story about the- That's right, John's got the big three stories from the Big Three. There were quite a number of stories most of them pretty boring and stupid but this one... Most of the stories are boring and stupid and I will say this was The Supreme Court came down with some decisions and everybody focused on the one that burned Trump. He's trying to do stuff he can't do, which is mainly then so they all blah blah you know? You couldn't get his birthright citizenship thing through and they burned him and on and on and on So here we go with three versions of that story. Let's start with ABC

06:32 ABC News Tonight, the Supreme Court rejecting President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship upholding the 14th Amendment longstanding decree that babies born in this country are born American. Justice John Roberts declaring citizenship then and now was the right to have rights, to freely participate in our political community. The framers of the 14th Amendment extended that promise to every free-born person in this land. We keep that promise today. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito dissenting. Alito calling the decision a serious mistake that will seriously affect the future

07:15 Trump signed the executive order ending birthright citizenship on the very first day he returned to office. That's a good one, birth right. That's a big one. Today he called the courts ruling too bad for our country adding we can easily make it up in Congress through legislation But Congress does not have the power to overturn the 14th Amendment. Today, the justice is handing Trump a victory on another issue he put front and center when he returned to the White House last year. The war on women's sports is over The justices allowing states to ban transgender girls and women from playing on women's teams, citing both fairness and safety. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes States may maintain women's and girls sports for biological females in her partial dissent justice Sonia Sotomayor insisting it's not been proven that transgender student athletes categorically posed dangers to competitive fairness and safety

08:17 And David, the Supreme Court did not outright ban transgender girls from competing in women's sports. That is up to individual states and right now 29 states have restrictions on transgender athletes The other 21 allow trans girls to play on girls teams Alright so they wrapped those two together Can you turn your speakers down just a little bit? I'm having a hard time gating that out So they folded those 2 into 1 Alright, that makes sense. Yeah, that's the way they did it it was like blame hmm let's try NBC Tonight, the US Supreme Court dealing a major blow to President Trump's immigration crackdown. Striking down his controversial executive order that sought to ban automatic U.S. citizenship for babies born to undocumented immigrants. The president today slamming the courts decision as too bad for our country while immigration advocates celebrated it

09:14 The fact is that if you're born here, you're an American citizen period. The president has long railed against birthright citizenship enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution passed after the Civil War. This was not meant for Chinese millionaires to have their children become citizens of our country this was meant or other rich people poor people this was meant for the babies of slaves. But today, Chief Justice John Roberts writing for the majority reaffirming the long settled understanding of The 14th Amendment guaranteeing citizenship to all children born in the U.S and subject to its power with limited exceptions writing quote The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to every free-born person in this land we keep that promise today

10:05 In dissent, Justice Samuel Alito calling the ruling a serious mistake that preserves a powerful incentive to enter or remain in this country illegally. The executive order if allowed could have potentially impacted more than 250 thousand babies born in the US every year to non-citizens 13 year old Mia expressing relief today that families like hers can now stay together This is our home we belong here Yeah, okay boy this is so shallow. It's shallow! Yeah now they could have mentioned Claris Thomas No They said the same Alito stuff and then they don't mention that it's not ex post facto You know somebody who is already born here all of a sudden now they got kicked out? No of course which is what they imply there at the end of this story. They're wrapping it up with dreamers and DACA So um... That's what they're doing

CHAPTER 05 / 51 Discussion

LULAC Response, Stateless Children Concerns

Juan Pranio, CEO of LULAC, praised the Supreme Court decision protecting birthright citizenship. He argued that the ruling prevents hundreds of thousands of children born to undocumented parents from becoming stateless. Media reports highlighted that approximately 250,000 babies are born annually in the U.S. to non-citizens.

lulac· juan pranio· undocumented immigrants· birthright citizenship· supreme court· statelessness

11:03 They never mention, they don't mention... You're right. It's shallow and lame I have some analysis from our constitutional lawyer in a moment but let's hear what CBS has to say Good well we'll hear from him after By the way these are been an order of length But you can see that the ABC one was stretched The NBC was actually technically the longest for just about the topic And the shortest one is from CBS The court said that the framers of the 14th amendment extended the promise of citizenship to almost quote every free person born in this land, rejecting President Trump's efforts to rewrite the constitution with a stroke of a pen.

11:45 In one of the first executive orders of his second term on inauguration day, President Trump tried to end birthright citizenship. Today after the Supreme Court rejected his effort in a forcefully worded opinion he called the ruling too bad for our country and urged Congress to take action immediately Trump had argued the 14th Amendment was intended to grant citizenship to freed slaves and their descendants after the Civil War, not to the 250,000 babies born every year to people here illegally or temporarily. But in a decision by Chief Justice John Roberts joined by Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett and three liberal justices, the court said under the Constitution they are citizens at birth

12:31 Juan Pranio, CEO of LULAC cheered the ruling. I mean the stakes are four to five hundred thousand children born in the United States to parents that may be undocumented or at least in the process of getting legal status in the United States all those children were born would not have been US citizens and they would have been stateless So, this is really quite disappointing from all three of the big so-called news networks. They really left a lot of things out here because really this wasn't about the 14th Amendment per se and I'm getting this from Rob our constitutional lawyer you know we have more producers than any news program, any news organization anywhere on the planet. That's true Because we don't have listeners We got zero listeners. We have nothing but producers

CHAPTER 06 / 51 Discussion

Jus Soli Doctrine, Clarence Thomas Dissent Analysis

Analysis of the Supreme Court ruling focuses on the British common law doctrine of Jus Soli, or "Law of the Soil." Justice Clarence Thomas issued a 91-page dissent arguing that the 14th Amendment requires primary allegiance through domicile rather than mere geographical presence. The discussion references the historical impact of the Dred Scott decision on citizenship definitions.

clarence thomas· jus soli· dred scott· 14th amendment· allegiance· domicile

13:24 At issue here was Trump's executive order to limit birthright citizenship, which is a little different than ruling on the 14th amendment itself. Which according to Rob and I'll take his word for it SCOTUS actually disagrees five-four on the meaning of the fourteenth amendment see that they don't discuss that this is all this was only about his executive order and Rob goes into the relevant part of the 14th Amendment which derives from a British common law doctrine called Jus Soli. Latin for Law of the Soil

14:09 Under the you solely doctrine anyone born within the king's allegiance or protection was deemed a natural-born subject of the crown Regardless of the parent status The Dred Scott decision this is young. I can't believe no one even brought this up in the news reports temporarily overruled this concept and made Hold on mm-hmm, I should mention Because your complaint is legit except for the fact If you listen to all the news analysis programs, a number of people brought up the Dred Scott decision. Right but... But yeah these straight-up reports are really bad! So the Dred Scott decision temporarily overruled this concept and made hereditary rather than soil the determining factor so Justice Clarence Thomas he wrote in 91 page dissent

15:00 I don't think not mentioned in any of the three reports anywhere networks and he says that you so lie does not just mean geographical location, this is interpretation but actual allegiance. He argues that the majority wrongly ignores that the 14th Amendment requires primary allegiance through domicile not through mere temporary or unlawful presence which I think means you can throw out every single democratic politician because they have no allegiance to America So we should just throw them all out. And actually, I'll put this in the show notes because i thought it was really interesting that they really didn't focus on anything what they did do cute things like Ms Now...I still have a hard time saying Ms now instead of MSNBC and MSNBC they once just call themselves The Podcast Now They're doing podcast level content with podcast level visuals

CHAPTER 07 / 51 Discussion

Congressional Roadmap, Codifying Birthright Legislation

Justice Brett Kavanaugh reportedly provided a roadmap for Congress to potentially codify restrictions on birthright citizenship through legislation. Following the July 4th recess, Republicans on Capitol Hill are expected to address this alongside the SAVE Act. The White House is reportedly preparing a "Plan B" to pursue legislative changes after the executive order was struck down.

brett kavanaugh· congress· republicans· save act· legislation· white house

15:59 And podcast level of production. Everything is podcast level, we're better I mean okay you don't see my pillow against the wall here but so the cute little gag was plan B they've got a plan B and the way i took that was... You know what Plan B is? The medication Plan B Yeah. Okay, so it's like oh for birthright you know we got a plan B for aborting the birth right yeah it's up It's a subtle pun that they kind of threw in there and and here's the plan B But let's talk about the decisions from the Supreme Court that we saw this week And last week what are you hearing from The White House about the reaction to some of these cases especially the Birthright Citizenship Act? It seems like

16:44 Brett Kavanaugh has given Congress a roadmap to now follow through on crafting legislation to codify the president's executive order that SCOTUS has said is not viable. What are you hearing from the White House? There is more pressure on Congress now, it's not just with the SAVE Act but also on birthright citizenship so when they come back after this July 4th recess I think there is going to be yet another to-do list for Republicans on Capitol Capitol Hill. I think with birthright citizenship, this was something the administration was expecting we even heard President Trump sort of try to lower expectations on this so this was clearly something that they had in their back pocket ready to go with as a plan B in the likely scenario which happened of the Supreme Court striking it down yeah So now they're gonna take it to Congress and you know see what they can do there now...I like the allegiance part more than anything

CHAPTER 08 / 51 Discussion

Birth Tourism, BBC Coverage of Immigration Debate

House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed disappointment in the Supreme Court ruling, citing concerns over "birth tourism" and the strain on the welfare state. The BBC reported on the relief felt by migrant families, including an asylum seeker from Guatemala. The segment highlights the contrast between international and domestic media framing of the citizenship issue.

bbc· mike johnson· birth tourism· guatemala· asylum· welfare state

17:41 makes kind of sense to me. But yeah, here's where they have these tourism uh there's baby tourism they bring the pregnant women over here this is an offensive term John C Dvorak offensive offensive and the BBC will explain why one of president trump's first acts on returning to office last year was to sign an executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship for anyone born to foreign parents in the US He'd argued that undocumented migrants were not subject to a right that has been enshrined in the American Constitution for more than 150 years after the abolition of slavery. But judges at the US Supreme Court, in his 6-3 decision have delivered a clear message to Mr Trump birthright citizenship can't simply be annulled with the stroke of a presidential pen

18:35 He responded by saying, you hear how the BBC actually got it right? Which is astounding. Our own our own news guys, news outfits can't get it right. They said this was about him annulling the 14th Amendment with an executive order that's all that this was. This didn't validate or invalidate the Fourteenth Amendment. With a stroke of a presidential pen He responded by saying the court's decision was too bad and that he would use Congress to get around it. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson also expressed his disappointment. It is a serious problem we have...it has become tourism birthing tourism they call it you know? A trend where people will just come in you just come on the soil and have your child and then there they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else its been abused

19:25 But for those who have settled in the US and gone on to have children, this ruling brings a great sense of relief. The BBC heard from one woman who travelled to the U.S. to claim asylum after fleeing Guatemala because of the threat of violence back home. Last year she gave birth to a baby girl She didn't want to give us her name and her words are spoken by an interpreter She says that term birth tourism is offensive to many hard-working migrants There you go! Offensive... You're just an offensive man You're birthing tourism. Sorry, offensive! Offensive I tell you? Yeah well did anyone really expect that to go in his favor? No, I don't think so. We got another one for Trump and what else... His fare is no good

America 250, Freedom 250 Fair Attendance Controversy

Conflicting reports emerge regarding attendance at the America 250 celebrations on the National Mall. While some media outlets used wide shots to suggest the event was empty, "boots on the ground" reports from listeners describe packed concerts, a Ferris wheel, and a rodeo. The discussion examines the distinction between the bipartisan America 250 committee and the Trump-aligned Freedom 250 organization.

america 250· freedom 250· national mall· donald trump· gumbo in dc· rodeo

20:17 The fair. They keep showing, they never show the fair. They just show the giant lawn which is near the fair that has people you know which is a monstrous thing and they say look nobody's at the fair but nobody's at it because they're not yet there to see who's at the fair We got notes from people that went to the fair, they said it's well attended. I actually got it here from Gumbo in DC who works in DC and asked to be kept anonymous How about a real time boots on the ground? I've been on them all many days and nights since the opening ceremony including this show day I was listening to today's episode that was Sunday On the walk back to my condo

21:02 And pause to send this when you gents talked about the fair. It's been packed every single visit, but people are making it look empty with how they take the pictures! The mall is huge there so much to do that people migrate to the next big event all day. Concerts performances movies on huge screens even a rodeo? A real rodeo? We haven't seen, what network has shown us the rodeo or what network has shown us the giant screen. I had no idea that there was a rodeo going on No because all they show is they back take a shot from mile away of the giant lawn That's out in the middle of the whole place and they say look! There's nobody here. I'm telling you It's really such a fake

21:47 I thought they had a clip about it. Unless he shows the rodeo! I thought they had a clip here, let me see... The rodeo? But no there's nobody there okay Here it is Freedom 250 yes I think this is it This great American State Fair which was happening just down the mall is being put on by an ostensibly nonpartisan group called what is it called freedom 250 right but Trump has sort of taken that thing over how did that happen So there was a congressional bipartisan committee set up to celebrate America's 250th called America 250 and that's been sort of shunted away and supplanted by freedom to free them to it's always freedom, right? This is your kid. This is the confusion you brought up

22:29 I brought it up, but America 250 didn't go away. No! Which is a creation of Trump. He appoints the leaders and the White House leads it. It's funded by taxpayer money in a lot of cases but its directed by the White House. Its a Trump political operation And I was joking about your polls were talking about nano-bubblers But your focus on non profits and how they were used won you that award in the first place When you see this organization What are you looking at? Well, what it means. So the money that this is taxpayer money that goes into a nonprofit and then not nonprofit then its spending becomes opaque We don't know if its giving out no bid contracts we don't know who's hired Oh gee, that has never happened before I'm trying to find... This so odd! I thought I had an MSNOW clip

MSNOW Coverage, Vanilla Ice Performance Glitches

Nicole Wallace of MSNOW reported on technical difficulties at the Freedom 250 event, including power outages and a shut-down Ferris wheel. The report mentioned a cancelled performance by Vanilla Ice and mocked the event's scale. Donald Trump responded on social media, comparing the event's success to the opening of the Obama Center.

nicole wallace· msnow· vanilla ice· kash patel· national mall· power outage

23:14 Where... Oh, here it is. Yes this is the one I think. Hi again everyone! It's five o'clock in the east. Donald Trump's- Hi everybody! This is- You know what? Anyway you're drinking! Yeah, I just had a beer that's all. Wait actually- What's her name? Here, let's start it off properly. Sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full story because if you look behind us... So this is good! This is Ms Now with Saki Show playing a bit of Fox. And Fox as you've probably seen they've got their white couch they're outside basking in the glory of the fair which is also kind of sicko. Sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full story because if you look behind us there are couple hundred people back there but

24:00 this when you make your way over here and you're in a wash of people. There are thousands of people here, and I'll tell you what that's with rain with everything else going on the fact that it is heightened security just because of the world right now is really an awesome crowd. That's the people who want to be here. Don't believe your eyes don't believe your ears! I put on my glasses to get a closer look at the live show. I'm sorry it's uh it's the other woman Nicole Wallace literally behind all those people saying all those things and tens, dozens of people showing up for the event which was plagued with problems power outages a shut down Ferris wheel extreme weather and the cancellation of a performance by one of the only artists who stood by Donald Trump other than Kash Patel's girlfriend and that was part of vanilla ice. What kind of slight is that? Kash Patel's girlfriend is she a singer I thought she was a Russian spy

25:11 she's a singer? well she could be both. other than cash patel's girlfriend and that was part of vanilla ice needless to say the less than stellar reviews hold on, vanilla ice is cash patel's girlfriend this is a scandal and I can't believe i'm reading this and everybody loving it. Well you are! The president went on, ask yourself the simple question the President of the United States switched to all caps quote do you think that Obama or Sleepy Jeff Biden could have done it? The answer is

26:01 In Trump's post, no. The answer was like Obama did it last week at the opening of the Obama Center Oh please! But I guess in this case Trump has a point. Obama has never in his life... Like if Obama's motorcades draw bigger crowds for OTR trips that aren't even announced Oh my goodness. Continue with our boots on the ground So even a real rodeo and the Ferris wheel line is very long At peak times for the best views of the city If they allowed drone footage, you would see the—oh that's a good point. You would see the entire mall but these grifters and clickbaiters know that and just want to orange man bad this thing Also the weird religious tent people keep bitching about That thing has been on the mall for many months I don't think the park folks can kick them off because they got a permit Has nothing to do with the 250th fair Says gumbo in DC are boots on the ground So there ya go

28:31 So there you go. Let's talk about the, well let's change something and talk about the daredevils in the dare, the empires... I have two clips this was good i got the first one from NTD which is a good rundown Empire State Daredevils. Okay... Two daredevils were arrested today after climbing the antenna of New York City's Empire State Building The duo flew a banner from the top which read, quote, When the power of love beats the love of power The world knows peace NYPD has released video footage of officers interacting with the couple. An officer could be heard telling the couple that they weren't allowed to be where they were and then the couple could be heard saying that they speak Russian New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tish praised the emergency service unit for their response

29:23 The duo were daredevil artists Angela Nicolaou and Vanya Birkas. They documented their time in the sky on social media it's not yet clear though how they got up to the antenna spire some 1,400 feet above the ground. Didn't they climb up the side of the building like most of these spider-man people? They never say that this I think the guy in the elevator went up to as high as they couldn't and climbed. Whatever it is, that's first not explained is well we know is they have some phony footage of them up there identified one thing that was on Fox that were helicopters going around them but they weren't moving. Is this now? It is this signage is this

Skywalkers Documentary, Netflix Promotional Stunt

The Empire State Building climb was revealed to be a promotional stunt for the Netflix documentary "Skywalkers: A Love Story." The couple, Angela Nicolaou and Ivan Birkas, posted from jail and mentioned their registry on "The Knot." The hosts critique the event as a coordinated media manipulation involving major news networks and TMZ.

30:05 They got that from a podcast. Oh, from a podcast? Hold on how come our PR producers aren't climbing up buildings and promoting the show Well, they did promote the show because here the second clip is daredevils. Here they are in jail and what it turned out that the whole thing was to get engaged and they did and had a big kiss at the top of the Empire State Building And this is the two of them in jail doing an Instagram post and the thing looks rigged

30:42 TMZ and CBS and all these networks were involved somehow. Hello from jail, we are in cage! They couldn't be here. It was- Wait a minute they're in jail and they let the give them their phones in jail? I'm just saying... Lifelong dream to get engaged on top of skyscraper. We want to thank ABC TMZ, CBS, Fox News, Yahoo! Everyone who shared our love. When ze power of love speaks, the love of power, the world knows peace

31:24 We found Sam on Mel Robbins podcast. Yes, you can find us on Zee Knots and we are registered at Bed, Dad. I love you. No touching! We are in love! So according to Nick the Rat who came out of he came out of the sewer into the troll room This is a Netflix promotion for the documentary Skywalkers, A Love Story that follows daredevil couple Angela Nicolae and Ivan Birkus. That's them! Yes them So it's a promotion It's a movie promotion as usual Everything is a movie promotion And then they get a plug in for being on The Knot so they're gonna get a bunch of free wedding gifts Free stuff yeah Oh man

CHAPTER 14 / 51 Discussion

Empire State Building, RF Exposure and Engineering

Adam Curry recalls visiting the top of the Empire State Building in the 1980s with Z100 engineer Steve Pepe. He describes the small, round transmitter rooms and the spiral staircases leading to the spire. The discussion touches on the potential health risks of high RF exposure for those working near the building's powerful broadcast antennas.

32:21 That is... You know, I bet you Steven Spielberg is just stewing right now. Like how come I couldn't get this kind of attention for Disclosure Day? And these idiots take it all! Not only that, but they were everywhere. They were on Twitter and this and they're on Instagram Facebook and the news CBS NBC Fox Yahoo! That's pretty good you know I've been up there if you look right at that tower if you look at the tower The base of the Tower is a little round room

33:03 That's where they did the proposal. They were in that room, the little, the small tiny room? Because you know what's in there... Oh no, they were up above it! No okay so right under... There was an open platform Yes I mean I don't know how you know there is something about the mentality of people that can do this kind of thing where you can be 1400 feet in the air on top a building on windy day On an open platform and look over and go hey look how far we are So I don't know how you do that. I've been up there one time with Steve Pepe who was the engineer at z100 and The way it worked this is back in the late 80s It was a different radio stations transmitter engineers responsibility they changed, I think every three months and it would be that guy's turn to go up to the top of the Empire State Building and to check the health of everybody's transmitter

33:57 And it's this little room, like the size of a hotel room. It's round obviously and there is just nothing but transmitters up there and you know I think you can get impotent if you stay up there too long. That's what I wonder about climbing that antenna? That's probably not a great idea... Well that's a tower, its not the antenna. No its RF! Its the towers, not the antenna but still But yeah, and there's a special elevator that takes you all the way to the top. And then you walk up the little twisty turn-y stair like a spiral staircase Then you're in that room and the platform is right above it So maybe they didn't even... do we know if they didn't climb off the side of the Empire State Building where they took the elevator? Up to the tiny room Yeah I'm sure that's what they did Oh interesting Well its'a good promotion It's pretty good

CHAPTER 15 / 51 Discussion

Ford Motor Company, AI Replacement Failure

Ford CEO Jim Farley discussed the company's decision to rehire human engineers and workers after AI-driven sensors and cameras failed to maintain quality standards on the F-150 assembly line. Farley emphasized that human attention to detail is superior to automated systems for complex manufacturing tasks. The move follows a significant recall of 700,000 trucks.

ford· jim farley· toyota· bloomberg· assembly line· manufacturing

34:45 It was a dynamite promotion. I have to say that's pretty good. And she's cute and she's showing off her ring, the whole thing is fake. Fake and gay! The, what would you call that? The AI trade. I think it's... Yeah well good because I have one clip when you're done I want to play this clip because the clip bothers me Would you like to start off with that? It's not about the AI so much but about the server farms So I wanna hear the AI Well there are two things A couple of things happened The first one is Ford made rather startling announcement

35:29 Saying you know we replaced a whole bunch of people with AI and AI cameras and sensors to make sure the nuts and bolts were tightened just perfectly. And yeah, we're hiring people back because our cars are trucks are sucking with this stuff So this was a pretty big financial story. This is from Bloomberg. So what was it? Your team, was it an employee or labor issue? Was it you know technology did you use AI? Was it factory processes like can you get into specifics of how you did it this guy these Bloomberg people are doing podcasts too. This is not journalism anymore

36:11 Yeah, if you were to visit today the Rouge plant where we make the f-150 Matt what you would see is a whole control center around data and quality Data so we measure the torque of every one of our fasteners. We have AI tools for vision systems but most of all it's just old fashioned hard work and of our team members all working together to pay attention to the very small details that will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford and an okay-built Toyota. It's just an incredible attention to every single... Wait, hold on! Stop!

36:52 Is he equating, there's an equivalency thing he did there but I think it may have been subconscious. He equates a perfectly built Ford with a mediocrely built Toyota! Are they the same? I think what he meant to say was its the difference between our trucks which are great and crappy Toyotas which is put together slapped together with robots That's what he meant to say, but let's hear it again. They will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford and an okay build Toyota. It just sent an incredible attention to every single detail so you know they had a 700 000

37:42 unit recall on trucks. I don't know if that's something to do with it, but the way the CEO Farley here is spinning it is this is America man we use American workers so I mean it's interesting now that were in the age of AI and we're talking about this technology killing jobs but it seems like in your case its really experienced human workers that made a big difference It did, I have to say the process coaches and area coaches you know they get up every morning. They look at the last shifts quality data we look at how many vehicles are repaired and we work that process every moment of every day every employee walks into any one our plants they know exactly are we winning or losing yesterday and today everyone is fully aware where we stand We know exactly where Toyota is

38:35 You know where we need to get to to beat? Tundra and and super duty better than any of the other domestic competitors, and so everyone is aware Exactly the quality that's coming out of our plant in any particular shift every 50 seconds. I And that is, that human motivation to pay attention to everything is amazing. Look we make 85% of our vehicles in the US Matt. That means these are U.S factory workers versus even our domestic competitors they're some of the biggest importers in the U.S We're not building these vehicles in South Korea or Japan These are American workers beating Toyota and Hyundai and our domestics who import their vehicles

39:21 We beat them all. Yeah, baby we beat em'. We're the American workers but... The story that I really, and I saw this we were waiting at the airport in Austin and they had the screen. Before you go on what did he say in that clip that was anything? Well, that's why I said it's a cover-up they switched back from a whole bunch of AI engineering tasks which I think is assembly line tasks that they had decided to use AI for And they said, no no. Now we have... Because it was a big story! They rehired hundreds of Ford engineers assembly line people because the robots were doing a crap job that weren't tightening the bolts you know stuff was falling apart rattling out off the assembly line so he spins it as when the next people come on the line they check with the people before them did because we love our country we live we love our truck

CHAPTER 16 / 51 Discussion

Palantir, Alex Karp's Critique of AI Tokens

Palantir CEO Alex Karp criticized the current AI industry during a CNBC interview, arguing that corporate America is seeing little value from "tokens." Karp suggested that companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are effectively taxing enterprises while potentially compromising their intellectual property. He predicted a pullback in AI spending as businesses realize the technology has been oversold.

palantir· alex karp· cnbc· andrew ross sorkin· ai bubble· intellectual property

40:19 Where's your jingle, man? This is a perfect time. Yeah actually funny thing... Funny you'd ask about that as I yakk As you delay, so I can find it and then... I love what I do! Exactly So, but that's a chink in the armor of the AI craze. But what happened on CNBC and this was like a 20 minute segment Alex Karp did I don't know if you saw this he's the CEO of Palantir the company that somehow people believe has... I saw parts of this

40:58 He went nuts. It was great, he even said I'm going nuts! Yeah he said that but here i saw that part um you know people and we've had people who work at Palantir email us with boots on the ground it's like they're not even really an AI company You know, they sit on top of Oracle databases and all kinds of other stuff. And they have some proprietary...and they've been doing this for a long time but somehow people believe that when you take Palantir and put your flock cameras in there and all the data centers They're going to control every single move and we're all gonna die! And Palantir which has got Jews in it They are going to control us all I read the documents as how it's also gonna go down But that is not true at all In fact

41:44 They, you know their applications sit on top of if anything AI. You know they sit on top of the large language models and he Think partially because their stock price has gone down because they don't have a sexy AI story I think that's why he's mad even though they're all billionaires. They've made so much money Oh, yeah heaven forbid Yeah But but what he said here was absolutely spot-on So the general way these things were sold against these people are Sam and Dario duck you there's nothing more fun than debating Dario in private So, I'm not throwing shade at them. I'm not throwing shade at them! Okay? But something has gone completely wrong and the basic view among enterprises in this country is... I'm gonna chill. Who's Dario? The CEO of Anthropic

42:37 He's complaining about open AI and Anthropic. And the basic view among enterprises in this country is I'm going to chillax and waste my time with tokens, I'm going to get no value and they're gonna get my IP. That sounds like shade! Not just shade it sounds like you're saying these... No, no, no, sorry this is reporting. Hold on can you stop it again? Yeah sure The one part about this interview that almost made me I don't know why he's gonna break something. At one point, this carp... This is an interview with what's his name in the New York Times or no, it was CNBC used to be The Sorkin Kid. Sorkin? Yeah Is it Sorkin? Yeah yeah It's the Sorkin kid Andrew Sorkin Andrew Ross Sorkin Oh! I'm sorry ARS Andrew Ross Sorkin Yes

43:32 Carp says, well I'm going to tell you something. The New York Times if they got a hold of that would never say this ever in a million years but i'm gonna say it because and then I know the New York Times...I hope they're not listening. I hope the Washington Post is not listening but I'm going to tell you something Sorkin interrupts him and asks another question oh yeah Oh No! Sorkin wants none of this What's wrong with this guy? Sorkin?! Yeah. Oh, it's his job to keep this going! It's not their job to report on... There is only one I think the old dude Joe what's-his-name? Joe Kiernan. I think he's pretty good dude, fly in the ointment yeah He is the Dvorak of CNBC and he sits there but you know he's not quite as abrasive But all the rest is like markets going down buy the dip Markets going up? You don't want to miss out! That's all they do

44:30 Yeah, CNBC is known as perpetual bulls. And that's okay but what he's saying here and I got five very short clips because the whole thing was 20 minutes So I think these are the key points. Here he is saying, hey this thing is bull crap That's basically what he said. ...tokens...I'm gonna get no value and they're gonna get my IP. Now that sounds like shade. Not to shade it sounds like you're saying these... No, no, sorry This is reporting. Okay And this is reporting... I'm doing your job Sorkin! ..that I've literally against my own interest called These are getting..like I'm profiting from this right?

45:08 Okay, so he's saying he's doing reporting here. It's good for his business and that's interesting that he is open about that but I'll just give you a preview what he's saying is that corporate America got the bill for tokens and went, okay this is not paying off. This is not replacing people it's costing more than the people that I want to replace this with and it's not actually... Hence the Ford clips you played previously Yes yes And its' really doing the job we were promised but in addition what's happening with my data? If I'm using open AI or Anthropx models are you just sucking up my data and using that well the answer is yes of course

CHAPTER 17 / 51 Discussion

Nvidia Partnership, Palantir's Data Sovereignty Model

Palantir has entered a direct partnership with Nvidia to allow customers to run open large language models while maintaining control over their own data and "alpha." Alex Karp argued that enterprises want to own their means of production rather than transferring data to third-party providers. He also dismissed the "safety" marketing used by AI companies as a gimmick to avoid government oversight.

palantir· nvidia· large language models· data stack· compute· department of war

45:55 And so he's going to talk about weights and alpha. These are all proprietary things that you can adjust a large language model with. Then you have my enterprises in the private sector who have the same issues like why would they get access to my data if they're gonna build my alpha? Why wouldn't I control the weights, and that's where you get this partnership What aligns me with NVIDIA and I think is what the cost technical customers want, which is control over their compute. their models, their data stack and their alpha. They want to know they own the means of production it's not being transferred to someone else they're not interested in some fake deploy co that somehow is deploying tokens that transfers the alpha to a third party and the jig is up Okay so this sounds a little complicated but you have to understand that Palantir just did a direct deal with Nvidia

46:53 And they're going to run open large language models that their customers control and own, and whatever comes out of it will be their intellectual property and not open AI or AnthropX. This is a complete destruction of the model that you know is supposed to make these companies trillion-dollar companies in their IPOs which as far as I can tell are being delayed Here's a very simple version of it that Karp gives us. Who owns the data? Where is it cached? Are the prompts secure? Is this being transferred to you? Are you being comp... Okay, if it was so valuable. Let's say I can make you a billion dollars tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, I'll make you $1 billion and I want 30%? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable? Yeah! We've even said this awhile back If you can create any business, if you can recreate it why wouldn't just go into that business

48:04 Why are you selling things at a loss that clearly this tokens is not making enough money? And he's saying, if this was really so good why wouldn't I just take 30% of the profits that I make. Well because it sucks! Because its not yeah... It's no good But I'm telling you in this country and every single enterprise idea with These people are livid. They're like, I am paying for tokens that create no value these people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business and they're creating a wealth tax that does not help the poor it just punishes starts with the billionaires every single person at this table is going to be paying a wealth tax only to punish us And the reason for it

48:46 is because these models have been completely over irresponsibly overselled and the cell is it's dangerous for everyone which is why I can give it to all your adversaries but I can't give it to Department of War or I can safely give it to an enterprise in this country without being certain that the alphabet business could transfer into this model tomorrow, ie. no business no job. You sound pretty angry. No! This is a voice of American business that has been channeled through me He's right. Yes, I think he's spot on! And so of course now we have the bubble question. I want everybody watching this to test what I'm saying especially investors who think somehow this is working pick up the phone and call a CEO in private not in public every single person here can do this call two or three and say madman carp is on TV saying were livid I'm not going to quote you know I won't quote you have an history and see they're twice as livid as me

49:44 So if you're right though, does that mean we are living in some kind of terrible AI bubble and that we're going to see in a quarter or two or three quarters from now. We're gonna hear that big enterprises are canceling their subscriptions to these products? Or they build out is gonna slow... He's just buffalo-ing through them like oh! You say this what's gonna happen but you're just crazy man because the reality doesn't add up This is the tragedy of it The reality of Compute plus ontology plus model is changing the course of history. Ask the Ukrainians, ask the Israelis, ask our Department of War, ask the enterprises that are working We do not have to oversell what we have and it's all being built in this country

50:30 Basically, except for the open models which is a real thing coming from China. Except for NVIDIA open models which are world class basically It's all being built here we do not have to overhype it to the point where were going to have wealth tax punishing... If they're charging the enterprise three times as much as they should be and then they have to pull back on that changes the math of all this Yes it does Sorkin child yes exactly This, and as nutty as Karp is he's right. This stupid marketing gamut of it's just too dangerous we just can't give it to you I'm sorry no no we have to the Department Of War said Trump so we just... Yeah that has been deconstructed by more than a few people yeah bullcrap total bull crap

CHAPTER 18 / 51 Discussion

Microsoft Patch Tuesday, BitLocker Loop Issues

A recent Microsoft Patch Tuesday resulted in over 200 bugs, including a widespread issue where users were trapped in a "BitLocker loop" requiring complex recovery keys. Other reported glitches included the failure of the trash bin to display file names during deletion. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella previously noted that 30% of the company's code is now generated by AI.

microsoft· windows 10· patch tuesday· bitlocker· satya nadella· bugs

51:18 And then, I don't know if you saw... Neither of us are on the mic. I'm not a Microsoft at all anymore but your wisely you're still on Vista and Are you on Vista or 10? What do you want? Oh, you talking about my operating system? Yeah yeah! You're in Windows but you're in special one that doesn't upgrade I'm a special old version of 10. Yeah, okay and that doesn't upgrade right? It doesn't upgrade well did you hear what happened on patch Tuesday no but i can just imagine so patch tuesday every patch tuesday has always been that issue right but this was the biggest patch tuesday in Microsoft's Patch Tuesday history

52:05 and over 200 bugs appeared, including... BitLocker keys being required. Now, if no one's ever seen this where something happens with your windows and then you get a blue screen that says yeah this is a dangerous version this could be fake so you have to enter your 3000 digit bitlocker key which you then have to get from the Microsoft website? Have you ever been through this loop I know, thank God. Oh Lord! The BitLocker loop is crazy and so just imagine you're an IT guy then you have...I don't know 400 desktops? Try 10,000. You have to go and find a bit locker key for every single one the trash if you want to empty this is across the board now Windows if you want to enter empty the trash

53:02 The dialogue pops up, are you sure you want to delete J6529322278 hash dollar sign pound sign? So it doesn't give me the file names anymore of what you think you're going to delete. And at the same time we've got Satchinadella saying well 30% of our code is coded by AI! Yeah no kidding this is what's going on with this stuff It's no good And so then CNBC follows up with the stories, which are obvious that people are like you know this stuff is not working for me in my business on the balance sheet. I think it makes sense the market is trying to understand sort of a new narrative around the Mag7 because they went from asset-like companies that produced a lot of free cash flow now to ones that are more balance sheet intensive actually funding what will look like a larger balance sheet

CHAPTER 19 / 51 Discussion

CNBC Market Analysis, Buying the AI Dip

CNBC analysts discussed the recent 6-10% drop in AI-related stocks, including Nvidia and the semiconductor index (SMH). Despite the volatility, the network's narrative remains bullish, encouraging investors to "buy the dip." Historical data was cited suggesting that such drops are typical in the middle of a bull market and usually recover within a month.

cnbc· mag7· nvidia· semi index· smh· bull market

54:00 I do think investors are going to start to view that balance sheet as a workforce, right? The reason they're spending so much money is to replace essentially human endeavors with AI. That balance sheet is going to be deployed and generate returns. So over time investors are going to start to view that as a moat but you're right we're in transition period of that narrative. Yeah, of the narrative but not of reality. Tom I guess maybe the big arching question overarching question right now is whether or not this dip is the sign or beginning of something deeper? Or whether or not investors should be comfortable just buying it all right so this is CNBC So all of these big AI trade stocks that chips Nvidia everything is down eight nine ten percent So what is the answer from CNBC well we know what the answer is

54:51 We published a note yesterday looking at the 17 times that the SEMI index, SMH had fallen 6% more in a single day. It may or may not surprise viewers, but these almost always occur in the middle of a bull market. These sharp one-day drops are not a sign of a top but are actually rather viable entry points. One month later 88% of the time the semi index is higher with a 12% median gain, meaning your 6% drop is more than recovered within a month. So I actually think this is a buy the pullback moment. There it is! Buy the dip everybody! Buy the pull back. Buy the crash. We should have stickers. Because this is a good show title? Yes that is a good show title

CHAPTER 20 / 51 Discussion

AI Coding Realities, Claude Code Frustrations

The hosts discuss their personal experiences using AI tools like Claude Code and Perplexity. While useful for some tasks, they highlight the frequent "hallucinations" and logical errors that require constant human supervision. A viral video comparing AI coding to a person failing to cut a sandwich correctly is used to illustrate the technology's current limitations.

claude code· perplexity· suno· coding· automation· user experience

55:47 by the crash. So this thing, I mean we knew it was going to unwind but it may come sooner than we thought actually. Well this is just a foreboding Yeah, it could. Nobody knows I mean that's the thing about it these things are always kind of surprised well in hindsight like two years later oh yeah you can see it coming no you couldn't nobody could Well but I'm an active user of this stuff there was a great video You're the one of the two of us Yes I mean I used perplexity and

56:24 I draw, yeah. I use some of the art tools. I've used Sonos. Yeah search stuff, search stuff. Suno not Sonos. Suno. Sunos. Suno Sumo No, I'm an active user of Claude Code and I have it. Yeah all you do is complain people don't realize that after the show when we do our post-mortem and figure out what R to use and all the rest You always have some horrific story about how the things screwed up yeah And you're talking to yourself constantly now Yes about it, you know. I don't know how CL's gonna do on this. Oh yay! He did good there. It made it through 80%. You become kind of a psychopath. There is this great video...I think I reposted it on X and it shows you a guy working with AI like a coding guy and he says okay cut the sandwich in half and then the other guy which is him has a Subway sandwich

57:29 And so the AI guy starts to cut it lengthwise. No, no stop I said the other way and then so it tries to cut it on the you know it flips it on its side and wants to cut it Lengthwise but right into the into the meat of the sandwich. No, no The other way turns it upside down and he goes on and on and on Because that's exactly what its like It is so so close to reality of what this AI stuff not all the time when it works is great But man I don't want to fly my plane. I don't want operating my oil business No, it's just been oversold. I mean there is great stuff to do with it but I wouldn't trust it with my taxes. As long as you don't get an audit might be great. You did great this year on your taxes! Or not...

Utah Data Center, Kevin O'Leary's 40,000-Acre Project

Investor Kevin O'Leary is reportedly behind a massive 40,000-acre data center project in Utah, which is roughly twice the size of Manhattan. Critics and local activists have raised concerns about the project's massive electricity requirements and its potential for mass surveillance. The facility would be significantly larger than the existing NSA data center in the same state.

kevin o'leary· utah· data center· manhattan· nsa· land use

59:08 No, neither one of these stories is really an AI story. But this other one which I... Because I didn't even think about this until this woman, this paranoid chick big mouth girl with a not unattractive toothy goes on and on with his paranoid delusion but then I started looking at the numbers She's right about the basics here. Do you realize that operation in Utah? They're trying to build a big data center, that Kevin O'Leary is somehow behind... No no yeah this has been going on for awhile and there's some left-wing group that he says is funded by China they are the ones behind the protests and oh yes it's ongoing thing Now Kevin O'Leary is cited in Covert Action magazine as a spook

1:00:02 Hmm not as an asset. Oh a spook for some other outfit No, for the outfit of the outfit hmm okay? Maybe maybe well I don't know one way or the other and you know You could probably get no one's gonna tell ya cuz you can't do that legally if he is But they kind of imply it in the magazine your covert action has been around since 78 And you know it's just sketchy but Larry sketchy. Mm-hmm so so then this woman chimes in with this, this is the

1:00:38 Data Center Paranoia clip. Just have to come on here and say this real quick about the data centers if you think that the government and big tech are building these billion-dollar facilities in the middle of nowhere To store your family photos or help you in any capacity You're retarded, okay? This is it does she mention Palantir in this clip she better because that's what I'm hearing. No just play it! They're calling them data centers because calling them mass surveillance centers would probably send people into a spiral. They are literally building the infrastructure for a surveillance state and they're doing it right in front of your face

1:01:22 It's going to be fully capable of monitoring your speech, your behavior, your purchases. It's going to essentially harvest your biometrics and create an entire digital profile for you People are trying to say that something like this would never happen There is a 92% chance in the poly market that something like this is prohibited Utah just got approved for a massive data center blueprint This data center in Utah is going to be 63 square miles. Do you guys know how massive that is? I'm talking almost three times the size of Manhattan and 200 times the size of the NSA's data center that already exists in Utah! Why does Utah need a 63-square mile data center

1:02:12 And by the way, it's going to be using double the electricity that Utah uses currently. And honestly, why does the country need anything like that for that matter? So I'm asking you to just ask yourself if this is really for the betterment of society and storing family photos and for you or is it for mass surveillance. Yeah this a known meme going around across the political spectrum Okay well let's- so I just had to look into the numbers here Now she's wrong about three times We're talking twice

1:02:48 You've been to Manhattan. Yep Can you imagine the entire Manhattan Island a data center? Because I looked into it, Manhattan Island is 23 thousand... depends you get different numbers but the maximum number you get for acreage is twenty three thousand acres that's Manhattan Island The proposal for the Utah data center is 40,000 acres. Yeah great! That's roughly twice the size of Manhattan you can't what do you how could you build put that many computers in the entire city of Manhattan let alone two Manhattans

CHAPTER 22 / 51 Discussion

AI Infrastructure Bubble, Data Center Real Estate Scams

The hosts analyze the global rush to build "hyperscale" data centers as a potential real estate scam or investment bubble. They argue that the physical size of these proposed facilities, such as the Utah project, makes little sense for actual compute needs. The discussion also addresses public fears that these centers are for mass surveillance, noting that surveillance is already primarily conducted via smartphones.

data centers· nvidia· surveillance state· real estate· elon musk· copper futures

1:03:28 How do you even wire that? I mean, if i was anybody I'd be buying copper futures. It doesn't make any sense in terms of the magnitude. Well okay so a couple things one let's just talk about what she's saying and then we'll get to the magnitude of it She's saying these data centers, yeah there are data centers all over the world that are being built in Canada, the UK, Mexico, Saudi Arabia. And this is what? The hyperscale, this is the AI race as to who's going to be done first with a data center that's going to have all of the NVIDIA chips in there and it's going to run the compute for all of the stuff we're gonna need for the stuff that clearly doesn't work well enough

1:04:16 And somehow in the corpus of, the lexicon of The Citizen this has turned into and this is why I'm surprised she didn't mention Palantir. This is the surveillance state which darling... The surveillance state is the phone in your pocket it's already here! The data centers that's not gonna surveil you It's a data center Somehow they think that a big data center means more surveillance. No, the phone in your pocket is doing all of that for you and it's going to data brokers sold by Google, Facebook, Meta and you're actively involved in it so that's what people are saying then the flock cameras oh the flock cameras Oh they got everything By the way it was funny she was doing that on her phone Of course

1:05:11 Yeah, I know. Already can see the troll room. Oh yeah! Adam's gonna say it's not for surveillance... No data centers do not surveil you The systems surveill you and you have that in your pocket In fact You're typing on it right now, ya idiots You're typing on it If you are on Windows, you are on a surveillance system So you don't need a 63 square mile data center for that I think O'Leary got over his skis on this one This is my theory on that Got over his skis. He's like, holy crap this thing because he's not dumb This thing is gonna come apart at the seams I have committed to too much compute Too much acreage and so he's already like okay We're gonna scale this back we're gonna make it smaller cuz these people are making my life difficult I think he's the first one to see that This is not what he thought It was going to be this whole thing was a real estate play to begin with That's why Musk is saying No, no, we got our data centers in space

1:06:07 Because I can't wait for those. On the moon! Everyone's all into it, yeah oh yeah, wait until Elon's data centers in space okay because these are going to be circling around and using... Well they went on the moon too and the South Pole where it was nice and cold. All kinds of places we're gonna say that would be a good place to have this but you're not allowed to go to the South Pole because that's where they have the saucers so There's a couple of things that are flowing here. And then you have the electricity part, and municipalities are seeing this and they're getting mad. You've got the farming part where the farmer is like hey, you're taking away farmland that will never come back. The whole thing is a bad idea. Well Utah... Yeah. So there's no farmland. There's smart money, I'll just say NVIDIA, the only company really making money off of this

1:06:55 They're saying yeah, you know what just run it on your computer at home. That's the way to go and that they're selling little computers Yeah, they've got the DGX spark and they've got these clones by MSI in there You know The cheapest one is three thousand dollars now But that'll come down well this is all fine-and-dandy What you're saying? And it's then you're right and I'm not arguing about their local is where its old headed But what is the point of even speccing out a data center the size of Manhattan Island? He's not called Mr. Wonderful for nothing! That doesn't answer the question Yes, because the money was there The money was flowing What would be the point of it? To take 10% of the money before it all goes bankrupt The whole thing is a giant scam

1:07:48 That's the point of it. There is no need for this, there is no need for it and I'm telling you... Well how do you even get to the point of signing off? on a data center the size of Manhattan Island. John, people... Who signs off on this? How do you scam that money? Have you not watched CNBC? We literally just had an IPO that made Elon Musk a trillionaire on the promise he's going to put data centers in space! That's even crazier than a data center the size of Manhattan! This is- let's talk about reality. This is crazy

Canadian Protests, Anti-AI Data Center Movement

Protests have erupted across Canada, including in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, against the construction of large-scale data centers. Citizens are concerned about the heavy demands these facilities place on land, water, and electricity. The Canadian federal government defended the projects as necessary for "digital sovereignty" and independence from U.S. data storage.

canada· saskatchewan· ontario· vancouver· digital sovereignty· protests

1:08:29 It's absolutely nuts. Canada, Canada! Who normally just frown and look unhappy and they complain? They send letters? I don't like this data center. Listen to what is happening in Canada. Say no to AI! This is becoming a familiar sound of protest in Canada. Large groups of people saying they don't want giant tech companies building enormous data centers near them It's already a widespread backlash to the growing AI boom and the heavy demands it places on land, electricity and water.

1:09:10 This group was in Saskatchewan, but similar protests have erupted in Ontario British Columbia Alberta. One study calculates that applications are in the works for more than 90 new data centers Nonetheless the federal government recently gave the green light to two new data facilities in Vancouver The Kearney government says they're important to establishing what it calls digital sovereignty That means cutting our dependence on other countries especially the US to develop and store much of our data abroad. Ottawa insists new data infrastructure is necessary for Canadian independence." I like it, the no A say no to AI-A? AI-A? They're right. Simmer down everybody this stuff is just...I've been using it for a year and a half trying to figure it out

CHAPTER 24 / 51 Discussion

Directed Energy Weapons, Pentagon Milestone Test

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced a successful milestone test of a directed energy weapon, part of the "Golden Dome" defense system. The technology was reportedly used to eliminate incoming drone threats. The announcement has reignited discussions about Havana Syndrome and the Department of War's long-standing denial of possessing such technology.

pete hegseth· pentagon· directed energy· havana syndrome· raytheon· drones

1:10:07 We know the chatbots are evil because people are so gullible, but none of this is really working. And then okay now we move on to the next technology scam with no evidence whatsoever even though I'm a big believer that we've had their technology since at least the 70s but probably the 80s and 90s All of a sudden, we've had a successful test of a directed energy weapon. Don't show it to anybody but just trust Pete. Secretary Hegseth shared that the first milestone test of the Golden Dome for America was a success and that directed energy was harnessed to eliminate incoming threats so obviously the Pentagon is wanting to buy these to use them against our adversaries what do you think of the investment in these types of weapons?

1:10:54 It's definitely needed, Katie. Obviously knocking down $2,000 drones with a million or two million dollar SM-2 and SM-6 missiles or Patriot missiles just You know your enemy can bankrupt you so we have to deploy these lasers are on board Navy ships They're on ground-based units now So the economics are starting to level the battlefield here these direct energy weapons. Are our pretty high speed They've been in use for a while and as Eric said they are a wide variety but if you alluded to the Havana syndrome, these have been used for awhile and they can be

1:11:30 debilitating. I think the president kind of let it slip that we use some of this stuff during absolute resolve when we went in there to get Maduro, so these it's a new level of warfare but it's definitely leveling the playing field. Yeah he let it slip actually during our interview with him at The White House and then he went on to call it discombobulator Now if you and I ran Raytheon or Northrop Grumman Don't you think we would have videos all over the place of this stuff? For sales. Well, it depends... Hmm? If it works! Well, Hegseth said oh I saw it happen We zapped drones right out of the air

1:12:22 And this, of course, begets more questions about Havana syndrome. to domestic America, you know all enemies foreign and domestic. We have these factions running around without oversight. So there's personnel that are damaged the Department of War lied about this for many years saying they didn't know what was causing Havana syndrome They said they had no idea nobody has this technology Well guess what the Department of War this year stated we possess directed energy weapons and were scaling them up Yeah baby

1:13:03 We're gonna zap your brain and we're first going to collect all your data put it into the bigs data center So we control you People are not thinking logically John there. I mean, I've seen in the troll room right now Ben Rose is a smart guy He's like they just gonna control us once they have all the data in the datacenter bro Don't put your data in the datacenter There's no need for it keep everything local or use use Linux And use a flip. Oh, yeah there's another at there's another thing you should do I agree with that this is it You don't have to give everything ball. I use my windows my old old version of Windows 10 they can't be upgraded That's not too bad Did this most stable machine? I have but no when you had a medical emergency and

CHAPTER 25 / 51 Discussion

Data Privacy, Local Computing vs. Cloud Storage

The hosts advocate for local computing and the use of open-source operating systems like Linux to avoid data harvesting by large corporations. They criticize the public's willingness to upload personal data to the cloud while simultaneously fearing government surveillance. The discussion emphasizes that privacy is a choice made through hardware and software habits.

1:13:54 We couldn't even get into your computer. Where's the service that can say, oh don't worry we've got you covered here's all John's passwords you can send the email newsletter again? Yeah couldn't get in and thats how it remains but this is the black pill The vibe that we're seeing everywhere, oh it's just lost. We're just... Hold on let me tweet something about how lost we are with all our data. Let me take a photo and let me put that on the cloud tell everyone how lost we are with our data they're harvesting in the huge datacenters Are people stupid? I guess Well they have to be stupid to even imagine a datacenter

1:14:39 the size of Manhattan Island. And then you say, well how about twice the size of Manhattan Island? You can't do... What are you nuts?! Have you seen the gigafactories that Musk builds those things are minuscule by comparison! Yeah no that was just an investor scam Well, it has to be. Of course it is! But what level do people go wait a minute? It makes no sense you can't build the building that's the size of Manhattan Island look at all the buildings that are on Manhattan I mean it just doesn't make any sense No...I know but well that's the point of that clip well there's good clip but you hear everywhere man

1:15:31 And Palantir's gonna control us all in the flock cameras. The flock cameras, that's my favorite! The flawed camera scandal reminds me of what, I think it was a number of years ago. They pretty much wired up a lot of England and the UK especially London. Oh totally yeah! And people said there's this overwired they got cameras everywhere no one knows what the hell is going on. It can't be monitored or maybe AI can monitor. Yeah, I could monitor a lot you know. We have documented women and men who have been arrested for being here or there, and they weren't there because AI misidentifies. AI is no good." I'm pretty sure that Larry Ellison didn't help at all when he... I'll just replay this clip when this is... Now Oracle if you want to talk about data harvesting, Oracle definitely is a company to be worried about

CHAPTER 26 / 51 Discussion

Larry Ellison, AI Police Supervision Proposal

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison proposed a future where AI constantly monitors police body cameras and squad car footage to ensure officer accountability. Ellison suggested that AI could immediately notify superiors of altercations or shootings, effectively supervising all law enforcement in real-time. He also envisioned autonomous drones replacing high-speed car chases.

larry ellison· oracle· stargate· police· surveillance· autonomous drones

1:16:30 They are the de facto data. They are data brokers, they're data harvesters and when he was at the Stargate conference... What happened to that by the way? What happened to the magic star gate? Where'd that go? Is it still being built or...? That dwarfs in comparison to the entire datacenter on Manhattan Island by the guy on Shark Tank Here's what he said then The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching and recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on. And it is unimpeachable. The cars have cameras on them. I think we have a squad car here someplace

1:17:21 But those kind of applications using AI, we can use AI and we're using it to monitor the video. So if that altercation had occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified It's not people that are looking at those cameras. It is AI that is looking at the camera. No, no, you can't do this! That would be like a shooting. That will immediately ‑‑ an alarm will go off and we're going to have supervision. In other words, every police officer is going to be supervised at all times. And the supervision will ‑‑ and if there's a problem AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person whether it's the sheriff or chief or whomever we need to

1:18:10 Take control of the situation we have drew it same thing when we have drones We just if there's something going on in a shopping center, and I'll stop yeah drone goes out There get their way faster than a police car. There's no reason for by the way high-speed chases You shouldn't have high speed chases between cars now you just have a drone follow the car I mean it's very very simple and then new generation generation of autonomous drones Yeah, okay As Larry, that's what Larry does. I'm selling you the future baby and you will love it doesn't it sound great? He's gone off to deep end with that sense commentary Sensei back off the sushi You're eating bad fish yeah of course Meanwhile he had to deal with the following

CHAPTER 27 / 51 Discussion

Independence Day Quiz, Jersey Shore Man-on-the-Street

A "man-on-the-street" segment from the Jersey Shore features young Americans struggling to answer basic questions about U.S. history and Independence Day. Participants failed to identify the year 1776, the Revolutionary War, or George Washington, with some suggesting King Tut or William Shakespeare signed the Declaration of Independence.

jersey shore· jesse watters· independence day· revolutionary war· george washington· king tut

1:18:54 Here's Johnny from your Jesse Waters show on the Jersey Shore. When he is on the Jersey Shore asking people simple questions about the Independence Day that is coming up, which by the way July 4th is Saturday. It's just around the corner! He's gonna ask a few questions about Independence Day on the Jersey Shore amongst classic Americans that you run into. There was one person that did answer all the questions correctly, I cut most of that out." Now of course because not only is man on the street already skewed but you can skewed the skewed so good job! Good work! Johnny hit the Jersey Shore for a good old-fashioned Independence Day quiz Why do we celebrate the 4th of July?

1:19:40 Um... I honestly couldn't answer that. Well, actually not sure. Be lit and enjoy life! How old is America turning this year? Oh.... Um..I have no idea. 58? 58. Is it actually? No 250? Where do we declare our independence from? Explain that a little bit further what do you mean by where The United States Mozambique, Africa. What was the name of the war in which we fought for our independence? Civil War The Civil War Yeah No Um... Oh God I actually don't know The Rev... Bruh, I don't know French and Indian War World War II The Revolutionary War What was a name of the general that led us to victory in the Revolutionary War? Does it begin with an A? Washington

1:20:38 General Lee Hitler It was not Hitler Then I have no idea What year did we declare our independence? Ummm This is a very wild guess 1786. 1776 1654 Democrats, they like to say Donald Trump is a king but we know we don't have kings in this country because we kicked a King To the curb what was his name? Oh my god might need some multiple choice here King Tut King Charles or something? Neptune? Who signed the Declaration of Independence? William Shakespeare Lincoln John Wick George Bush Yeah, King Tut. King Tut was a good one you'd be surprised how many educated intelligent people who are friends

1:21:38 When they said, oh man you're gonna be over there for the 4th of July. I say yeah yeah yeah. Said do they celebrate the fourth of July there? Five people at least have asked me this question. What?! Yeah and today is it's the same thing with... Do they celebrate the Fourth of July over there or do they same thing with Thanksgiving It's like, no. The old joke is do they have a 4th of July in Holland? Well yes there is something between the 3rd and the 5th. Yeah, no and they usually realize their mistake like oh that's kind of stupid but it comes so easily to us yeah I mean I was just going through clips today I'm like man everything is so cynical negative and downer

Trump Financial Disclosure, Crypto and Meme Coin Earnings

President Donald Trump's annual financial disclosure report reveals he earned over $1 billion from cryptocurrency ventures last year. This includes $635 million in royalties from "Trump meme coins" and $500 million from World Liberty Financial token sales. Democratic lawmakers have criticized the earnings as a potential conflict of interest regarding crypto deregulation.

donald trump· crypto· meme coins· world liberty financial· financial disclosure· midterms

1:22:31 And yes, we got the 4th of July. We should be happy! I remember the bicentennial. I'm old enough to remember 1976. I was in America and we came back on leave from Europe and it was great! I think we were in Rhode Island for some reason... It was fantastic and everyone was happy and fireworks and drill teams, drill teams It was fantastic. That's how I remember it and I just see negative, almost everywhere except the people on Fox News. It's just the media but I don't think its generally... No! But what do we do? You're not even negative around here and I'm in Berkeley Yeah but we deconstruct media so when I am going through clips like oh man this is all that it is, its just America sucks We got a king he's no good This was a whole

1:23:25 Jake Tapper just went off on Trump's disclosure. Now, I'm pretty sure that World Financial and the Trump meme coin and all that stuff...I'm pretty sure that was all done and wrapped up before he became president do you recall? I do not recall but i do have the Trump reports crypto earnings CBS clip. Yeah let's kick it off with that and then we'll do some analysis from Jake Tapper We have breaking news now from the White House where were learning a lot more about President Trumps bank account tonight his annual financial disclosure report shows the president made more than $1 billion last year in cryptocurrency including hundreds of millions from selling those trump meme coins

1:24:15 Let's bring in senior White House correspondent Ouija Zhang with more. Ouija, good evening Tony good evening a few figures jumped out because of how big they are President Trump's financial disclosure reveals he reported more than 1.4 billion dollars in income from his family's cryptocurrency ventures last year including 635 million in royalties from those Trump meme coins and and more than five $500 million from World Liberty Financial Token Sales, which is a venture he and his sons co-founded. Democratic lawmakers have long criticized Trump for crypto friendly deregulation accusing the president of gutting safeguards to personally benefit although it is not illegal for Trump to invest in private companies and tonight

1:25:01 the White House says there are no conflicts of interest. Also new tonight, President Trump just announced the Republican Party will hold a convention for the midterm elections for the first time ever in Dallas in September he says it will include a massive rally and entertainment Tony Yeah, so let's just set a couple of things apart here. So World Financial which is run by the Trump brothers which they sold to I think they sold majority if not all of it to Qatar to the Goomba over there whatever his name is and the Goomba yes and that's a stable coin company It's completely legitimate business Coinbase is in it There are tons of companies doing it Tether

CHAPTER 29 / 51 Discussion

Stablecoins, Treasury Auctions and Currency Dominance

The discussion explores the mechanics of stablecoins and their potential benefit to the U.S. Treasury. By requiring stablecoin issuers to purchase Treasury bonds, the technology could expand dollar dominance globally. The hosts discuss the "Clarity Act" currently in Congress, which addresses whether stablecoin issuers should be regulated as banks.

stablecoins· treasury· federal reserve· clarity act· tether· digital tokens

1:25:47 circle and just to make it simple to understand, it could actually be very good for America because that shifts the Treasury auctions and the interest rates from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury. So the Treasury can say you know what? And these will all be short-term bonds. You want to create $10 million of stable coin, you have to buy 10 billion or $10 million of treasury. So it's backed by treasuries and already over 30 trillion dollars in stable coins being used around the world is a great way to expand our currency dominance which you want. You want the dollar to exist if you're an American, you want the dollar to continue and that's a legitimate business they're very small in comparison to Tether

1:26:43 which is actually owned by our Commerce Secretary or he's the agent for it, which is... what's his face? Smiley guy. a Commerce Secretary. Yeah, not Besant... No no no the Commerce Secretary yeah I'm trying to think of his name or just don't blank for second so and that's a legitimate business and the way you make money and there's a big argument in Congress right now The way you make money is You buy the Treasuries and it's pretty good deal right now because you get a guaranteed four-and-a-half percent

1:27:20 interest on those treasuries. And so all you're doing is just creating a digital token for each treasury and you collect the interest now, the big argument over the Clarity Act which you might have heard about is can we also offer benefits to people who buy our stable coin? The banks are saying no because then you have to be a bank because banks have deposit insurance and that's what the Clarity Act is all about And the stable coins legit business now the meme coin that Trump did I tried to do that. I Really tried to do that had crap partners we were going you were in Holland doing Yeah, advertising and in Dutch yeah, I saw one of these ads yeah We were promoting this coin what happened?

CHAPTER 30 / 51 Discussion

Domain Name History, MTV and Elvis.com

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak share historical anecdotes about the early days of the internet and domain name acquisitions. Curry discusses his legal settlement over MTV.com and his decision to give Elvis.com to Priscilla Presley. Dvorak mentions John Markoff's acquisition of NYT.com and the story of how Anheuser-Busch traded a six-pack of beer for Bud.com.

mtv.com· elvis.com· priscilla presley· bud.com· john markoff· domain names

1:28:08 They could, well so we were going to an ICO. An initial coin offering that is there's tens of thousands of them and what you do is you say okay, we're gonna issue this coin and this coin can be used to go to concerts as our deal. Concerts meet artists if you have X number of coins in the coins have value when they had value because of this and it's all about marketing. And just as we were doing that And this is all based on Ethereum. This is a long time ago The Ethereum price kind of collapsed and no one really wanted to do ICO's and these partners were Dutch That was the first problem that we just couldn't get it off the ground And then they didn't want to put any money into it They never paid half of my bills, you know So it was a rip

1:28:59 It was a loser. It was a loser, yeah but it could have been an incident where oh boom! And you would have made a billion dollars? I would not be doing this show. I would be sitting on an island somewhere laughing it up No, you'd probably be wasting the billion dollar somehow. No, I already went through one of those cycles. I've learned my lesson on that Yeah thats what they always say Maybe maybe you would stop and there's always the podcast I'll be like I can always go back to the podcast And so... As Bill Gates used to always say, you catch him in the early days he'd say well if this Microsoft idea doesn't work out I can always go back to coding. Lutnick Howard Lutnick he's the guy Howard Lutnick our Commerce Secretary

1:29:49 So the meme coin, yeah it's no better or worse than Elon Musk with Doge and all of this stuff is in essence worthless. It's like a collectible. It's baseball cards. Trump has a lot of collectible items. He knows it. The Bible, the watch... Oh he made like eight million dollars on the stupid watch It's all in the report. Ian, people are going about this is corruption at the highest level I don't think so! No! I don't think there is anything wrong with a president of United States who likes tchotchkes which are junk and you know people have sent me most of it most of the collector I've not no one has two things missing from my collection Not that I'm asking for these things although its gonna sound like it I don't have a Trump watch

1:30:44 And I don't have an Indiana sweatshirt from their championship. But... and I was wearing at the meetup, I was wearing Ohio State and I was condemned for not wearing Indiana! And I said this cheap bastards from Indiana have no one has ever sent me a sweatshirt but you have a Steve Jobs dollar coin There's no difference. But I did get to Steve Jobs! The best digital thing i ever did was MTV.com MTV.com was a great deal for me and of course, I can't divulge it because we settled out of court No one has any further comment but I started my company right after that and then had a good run

Bud.com Acquisition, Long-Neck Beer Trade

A detailed anecdote describes how Anheuser-Busch acquired the Bud.com domain from a fan in rural Texas. Rather than a multi-million dollar settlement, the owner requested a six-pack of long-neck Budweiser delivered by August Busch. The story serves as a contrast to modern high-stakes domain name disputes.

bud.com· anheuser-busch· domain names· texas· marketing· negotiation

1:31:25 It's funny because John Markoff of the New York Times was on top of the same kind of idea and he got NYT.com Oh really? Yeah, that was his domain So I have two domain stories And they bitched about it so he just gave it to them Well I had Elvis.com and for a while I had an email address going king at elvis.com People would send emails Hey King I saw you at the 7-Eleven, I love your music and just go on and on. And i had that for a long time and then Priscilla Presley called me says hey um do you got Elvis dot com? I said you can have it! I'm not gonna fight you, I'm not gonna fight Elvis, you can have it. I gave it to her then when we built Budweiser dot com uh for Anheuser Busch who was my client

1:32:20 Bud.com was owned by some dude in like the Texas backwoods and he was just a... His name is probably Bud! Totally, and he was a big fan of Budweiser And so Budweiser's like oh man this guy is gonna jerk us around it's going to cost us millions of dollars So let me talk to him you see what we can do call the guy who was exactly like that I'm just a fan, i just love my bud. It's really good." So Budweiser would really like to use that for their internet domain Would you consider parting with it? And he thought and he said Do you think you could get me a six-pack of long neck sand by August Bush? I think I could do that sir! I think I can have it hand delivered to you and that is how they got bud.com back

1:33:11 It's like a Seinfeld episode. Yeah, yeah you know he was a good old boy he didn't want a lot of money He could have picked up a few dollars and cents I recommended that they fly him in on the jet and give him a tour but they didn't go for that so just do that anyway You should not recommend it? You should have said that is what he is demanding Oh yeah well I was young can I say I had just given up Elvis.com Yeah, you did. Still have diaries dot com still waiting for that million dollars to come in You have diaries calm and nothing's come of it? Nothing Well got one I think you missed the window the window is early It's like a guy who had art dot-com A decade ago Yeah longer than that Art dot com

Jake Tapper, Trump's Unprecedented Presidential Profits

CNN's Jake Tapper reported on Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, noting his income rose to $2.2 billion. The report detailed earnings from Trump-branded watches, Bibles, sneakers, and fragrances, as well as legal settlements from Twitter, Meta, and ABC. Critics argue these profits are unprecedented for a sitting president and present multiple conflicts of interest.

jake tapper· cnn· donald trump· royalties· trump watches· trump bible

1:34:00 I know this for a fact, Art.com sold for $1 million dollars. Well Broadcast.com bought Mark an entire basketball team! Yeah that's right yep. The Yahoo is at Yahoo. Let's listen to... Do you want to listen to Tapper talk about it? Yeah, let's hear a little bit. It is kind of funny Today we are getting a much clearer picture of just how much President Donald Trump and his family have been profiting in many ways since Trump returned to the White House We're going to walk you through multiple examples starting with President Trump's newly released 2025 financial disclosure required by the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 that shows his total income for 2025 exceeded 2.2 billion dollars That is up

1:34:51 from $622 million in 2024, before he returned to the White House. This 927-page report is a staggering look! at President Trump's growing fortune made while he is president through cryptocurrency holdings, royalty payments property investments and much more. Now Trump's total crypto earnings alone totaled about 1.4 billion dollars during his first year back in office. Does he discuss how this hurts the taxpayers or how this involves the taxpayers, or how this involves taxpayer money? No. He spent almost 45 minutes on just complaining about it! There was no mention... Because there is no taxpayer scam here. No, there's not at all. It's impropriety man

1:35:48 It's just a bad look man. Oh totaled about 1.4 billion dollars during his first year back in office one point four Billion with the bail it would be and it's important to note President Trump began making cryptocurrency regulations or the lack thereof This is what they try to do they what they're trying to do is saying well he made all this money because He's got cryptocurrency regulations going but they already sold out They already sold out on the stable coin They said, you know it was 500 million. You know that's what they got which went into I think it went into Trump himself personally but probably into the Trump family money That was it! But that was before any regulation was in A big part of his presidency

1:36:34 Some of the crypto earnings on the financial disclosure include more than $526 million from sales of cryptocurrency tokens tied to World Liberty Financial, LLC which is managed in... That's factually false. They didn't sell any tokens. They sold a piece or most of the company for that money. Part by his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr Also, an agreement with Celebration Coins paid Trump $635 million See that's the guys I was supposed to be working with when i tried to do that Where were Celebration Coins? When I was trying to do that What was the name of that coin? Do you remember what that coin was

1:37:16 No, I don't. Oh gosh, I'm racking my brain- I'll think of it This is thought to be behind the Trump meme coin which has plunged in value since he launched it days before taking office After Trump and co sold them they plunged from a high of $74.27 to their current value around $1.70 according to Coinbase. Scam, must be a scam! Must be a scam! Let's talk about the royalties... Royalties Then there is more of the deals that Trump struck To lend his name to random products and ventures which lead to huge royalties and licensing fees such as Trump watches generated 4.7 million dollars in royalties Don't forget the 208 thousand dollars related to a Bible that the president frequently promoted

1:38:04 Plus $67,634 for Trump sneakers and fragrances. What exactly is a Trump fragrance? You don't know Aside from business ventures, Trump's financial disclosure also includes gifts and his various quote-unquote settlements with social media companies and news organizations whom he sued or threatened to $8 million from Twitter or X after Elon Musk settled with Trump last February. $16 million each from ABC and from CBS donated to the Donald J Trump Presidential Library Foundation, of course. $24.5 million dollars from Facebook parent company Meta also donated to the Trump library. $22 million dollars from YouTube given to The Trust for the National Mall in terms of Trump's actual profit-making it is

1:38:57 unprecedented for a sitting president. And it's drawn criticism from opponents and others who say there are multiple conflicts of interest, the White House denies that and today Trump downplayed any concerns that he could be profiting off the presidency The stock market is not why he made 22.2

PBS Analysis, Trump's Financial Success Debate

PBS analysts questioned whether Donald Trump would have achieved the same financial success if he were not president, comparing his ventures to Hunter Biden's art sales. The hosts critique the media's framing of these earnings as "corruption" without evidence of a quid pro quo. They also note that Trump's full tax history remains unreleased, making claims about his "most profitable year" speculative.

pbs· donald trump· hunter biden· corruption· taxes· midterms

1:39:35 billion dollars last year. Oh man, okay here's the PBS version that will stop this nonsense Eric I guess the big question here is if Mr Trump was not president could he or would he have made the same amount of money that he did? It's hard to imagine that if you were not president that there would...that his meme coin or it would be as profitable as it has been or that there would have been this scale of investment in world liberty financial aid. Yes What kind of analysis is this? If he was not president then... That's exactly. This is like, how much money did you make Mr. Curry? Well I made a X amount of money as a podcaster well what would you have made if you weren't a podcaster? Well you know it's logically stupid! No no my favorite is well you have a lot of listeners because you were already famous dude.

1:40:32 There was no podcast when I started podcasting in 2003. And you and I had to drag this thing out of the swamp for years, same type of thing." Yeah, meme coin or it would be as profitable as it has been. Or that there would have been the scale of investment in World Liberty Financial on the stablecoin. It is...it seems as if his status as president is like intimately intertwined with the success of those companies and... Okay hold on

1:41:09 So, what we're doing here – this is a trick. The implication even though he's not saying it directly is that which is a little different than my analysis I just gave – this implication is that this is corruption. This is play…a pay to play. If he wasn't president, then the stable coin wouldn't exist. Or the stable coin wouldn't be successful. Meme coin! That's not a stable coin. The meme coin if it wasn't present... This is basically an analogy to Hunter Biden's art. Yeah! No one would buy Hunter Biden's art if Biden wasn't president. It's true! That's not the same thing as this.

1:41:55 Okay, we'll continue. One more thing, with Hunter Biden's art I'm giving Hunter Biden a quarter of a million dollars to get favor with somebody. I'm not buying a $10 meme coin so Trump will do me a favor there is no quid pro quo! Well you do get to go to his special dinner There is a special dinner? For everyone who bought a meme coin? Yes he does these dinners Oh I should have bought one

1:42:36 Are you gonna be there and I don't have to pay for the dinner as a free meal? Well, a lot of these people paid a lot of money to get their meme coins. Yes The three days before his inauguration for what was called the crypto ball It was a bunch of crypto executives and and administration You know soon-to-be administration officials there to celebrate his inauguration And that's the night he launched it and it was like follow me as I lead the world These things are so intertwined, I think it's hard to imagine he would have made as much money. He has never made this much money in his entire life as he has made in this one year So that is part of your answer right there. Oh there you go That's PBS man We don't know this? No Because taxes have never been released

1:43:20 How do we know that this is the most he's ever made? We don't. Well then why did they say it, they stated it as fact This is what I'm saying Everything sucks All the news is this Yes This was in interviews, so there must have been pushback by the reporters saying how do we know that this is the most he's ever made? He has never released his taxes. At least Ms. Now is honest about it and they just come out and say hey we're doing all of this because of the midterms That's all that were doing about for the midterms It's 2028 And were going to blanket the airways with all of these stuff nonstop until you vote Democrat

CHAPTER 34 / 51 Discussion

Democratic Messaging, Chaos Cruelty and Corruption

Democratic messaging for the 2026 midterms is focusing on the "trifecta" of chaos, cruelty, and corruption associated with the Trump administration. The hosts analyze a speech calling for a national referendum on Trump to move the country toward "light." The discussion also touches on the 14th Amendment legal challenges.

democrats· 2026 midterms· 14th amendment· chaos· cruelty· corruption

1:44:07 20 the midterms for 2026 but 2028 for the next president and we're going to blanket the airwaves until you vote Democrat You stupid people in many ways though our story in America has been our ability to overcome adversity This isn't the first time our nation has faced adversity But what we've done in every chapter of our American story is despite the challenges. We've ended that chapter on a more her city What? What adversity are we in Trump? He's just an adversity. He is the adversity president No with more freedom more opportunity more justice more equity I know it doesn't feel that way right now But we are in the midst of writing that chapter and it will be up to the American people less People with titles next to their name or ordinary Americans doing what Franklin said To that woman outside Independence Hall that meet him

1:45:03 reference, defending our republic. Keeping our Republic the work falls to all of us that's why we need a national referendum this November on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption we need people to rise up and vote and be it's the three is the trifecta chaos cruelty and corruption And I'm a sucker for alliteration. They nailed it on this one, I know what the sea is today! End him! This November on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption we need people to rise up and vote and be a check on this president begin to see our way out of this darkness toward more light, towards more sun. Darkness? What?! At least they're honest about it. This is what I love they're honest about it

1:45:52 They're honest. There's two more from this, this is so good. I mean it is as clear as day in the 14th amendment This case should have taken... Now this was regarding the 14th amendment but its all about Trump A nanosecond to decide and it should have been 9-0 I gather some of the justices were intimidated by Donald Trump sitting there in court staring at them glaring at them during that decision And then JD Vance comes along and says the quiet part out loud. It's one of the reasons why we have to win the United States Senate, and not let them appoint a justice should there be a vacancy who would be younger? Who would be there for a long time?

CHAPTER 35 / 51 Discussion

Ty Cobb, Critique of Trump Administration Lawyers

Former Trump lawyer Ty Cobb issued a vocal critique of current administration attorneys like Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi. Cobb accused them of abandoning their oaths to the Constitution in favor of fealty to Donald Trump. He specifically cited a $1.8 billion "slush fund" and compared the Trump family's actions to those of Jeffrey Dahmer in a controversial analogy.

ty cobb· todd blanche· pam bondi· donald trump· hunter biden· jeffrey dahmer

1:46:34 and be more dangerous when it comes to eviscerating the rights of Americans. So bottom line here is we need real reform in this country, it's got to be people-centered and people powered. And its going to come as a result of people rising up showing up at the ballot box demanding more from their elected officials and ushering in a new chapter in this country one that gets us back to our roots of being more hopeful, more inclusive and more just. You see, this is the point you feel down with all the messaging we're throwing in your face? Just vote Democrat and everything will be more hopeful! And this is the kicker or the last one on this series. Ty I want to ask you something of a personal question...I mean you represent Donald Trump, you worked closely with him now you're pretty vocal critic very vocal critic of him what do you think of the lawyers who signed on to work with him during this administration

1:47:31 So I think it's very important that even the worst presidents have the best assistance. So, I think lawyers who go to work for this administration if they can go in with a determination to honor their oath which is to serve the Constitution and American citizens not an individual And if they actually do that They're performing enormous public service. I think what we see, however is we've seen a lot of people who have abandoned their oaths take Todd Blanche as exhibit A or Pam Bondi as exhibit A1. Pam Bondi had a session in the Great Hall of Justice where she declared the fealty of herself and the entire department

1:48:16 to one man, to Donald Trump. Not the country not the Constitution but one man and you've seen Todd Blanche try to facilitate a 1.8 billion dollar slush fund taking money from taxpayers that unjustifiably was given to Trump in a quote settlement of dispute that wasn't really even a legal dispute We've seen people just do things that are unconscionable and unprecedented in American history, and at a scale that the country is now being numb to. You know, I've seen comparisons of Hunter Biden to the Trump family. That's like comparing a Jay Walker to Jeffrey Dahmer." Oh there we go! It wasn't worth the effort? Well only because you got bored of it...I can't help it. The guy is long-winded. Do you remember Nate? I have four clips that I want to play before we go out this is why I'm seeing time constraints here Yeah well its because were having a good time

CHAPTER 36 / 51 Discussion

European Heatwave, Air Conditioning and Climate Policy

Record heat in France has been linked to approximately 1,000 deaths, primarily among the elderly. Despite the danger, some European officials are discouraging the installation of air conditioning, arguing it contributes to further warming. In Rome, wearable technology is being used to monitor vulnerable citizens, while some French citizens reportedly prefer to "suffer for the sake of the environment."

france· rome· heatwave· air conditioning· climate change· wearable tech

1:49:21 We're having a great time! Too bad we can't do anything about that. We got to at least mention the heat deaths in the EU? Yes, hold on a second... And because you're in the EU and I wanted to make sure we got to this clip Yeah and I will give you a boots-on-the-ground report after the clip In Europe, there's a perfect storm. The oldest population on any continent that is warming the fastest. France's record heat last week is linked to roughly 1,000 deaths of mostly elderly. Of all climate-related impacts and hazards, heat is the biggest killer

1:50:00 European officials are calling for change, but not the kind that may seem obvious. Install air conditioning especially for vulnerable people and save lives why is that not a solution in Europe? My honest response is I don't think that should be the solution anywhere In the longer term what happens is installing more air conditioning actually emits more heat into our environment, so it will actually increase the speed of warming. It's also more expensive. Energy prices are much higher in Europe. Governments find other ways to cool historic and densely populated cities

1:50:39 In Rome, wearable technology is distributed to monitor the elderly who are by far in the most danger. A recent survey in France said one in six people they surveyed said they'd rather suffer for the sake of the environment Does that surprise you? No we're not doing this for us We're doing this for future generations Lea Kenairi CBS News London I heard, I have no evidence but i read and I heard that in the UK they were going around saying you gotta take that air conditioner out of your window or we're gonna arrest you. I wouldn't be surprised? It kind of wouldn't surprise me either but yeah... Supposedly according to some reports are doing that all over the place

CHAPTER 37 / 51 Discussion

Dutch Climate Sentiment, Christina Curry Update

Adam Curry provides a "boots on the ground" report from Amsterdam, noting that his pregnant daughter Christina recently acquired a portable air conditioner to cope with 100-degree temperatures. He suggests that despite official climate policies, the Dutch public is becoming increasingly skeptical of "climate bullshit" when it impacts their daily comfort.

amsterdam· netherlands· christina curry· air conditioning· climate change· pregnancy

1:51:31 We, uh... Because they're just trying to kill people. That's what it is! So I asked Christina before we came over and then I sent her a link to one of these stories and I said because she finally because you know she's 38 weeks pregnant It was 100 degrees They had no air conditioner flat roof above the bedroom so they were sleeping downstairs And they got a portable unit She's like oh so nice nice and i sent her this link I said Uh hope that climate crazies don't do this in Holland She says This is, now she's a woman of the people. I think Dutch people would revolt against that everybody's tired of everything and all the climate bullshit so maybe

1:52:10 But they still don't have their bikes back, so I'm not sure that they would really revolt about it. And it was a nice 73 degrees and raining when we got here today Oh that's perfect Yeah It's very nice and the rain was only brief cooled everything down everybody's happy that everyone's outside On the terraces having a good time What's your second clip? Secret event. Tell me what it is. Secret event... Oh, I know exactly what this is! This is the uh...

PBS Climate Coverage, Heat Dome Attribution

PBS reported that climate change is making heatwaves in Europe and the U.S. more intense and longer-lasting. A study by World Weather Attribution claimed a recent European heat dome was six degrees Fahrenheit hotter than it would have been 50 years ago. The hosts critique the report for failing to mention natural cycles like El Niño or jet stream fluctuations.

pbs· climate change· heat dome· world weather attribution· el nino· jet stream

1:53:35 Idiots, two more clips. Oh I have one climate change clip for Europe if i can sneak that one in okay the last 11 years are the hottest on record we know the ocean is getting warmer the earth's surface is PBS of course temperature is rising Europe is experiencing unprecedented heat right now what's the impact of climate change and all this yeah You know, climate change underlies all this right? All of it. Air temperatures are about three degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they were just a little over 100 years ago. So if you picture it like a building, if your foundation of the building is let's say three feet higher well then your buildings gonna be three feet higher so distance and distance got to do with yeah with the temperature yes and apparently It

1:54:21 It was 97 degrees in Europe a hundred years ago. Sorry, this is a cycle man! Years ago... So if you picture it like a building If your foundation of the building is let's say three feet higher well then your buildings gonna be three feet higher so... Wow! What? Climate change is making all heat domes every heat wave more intense longer less Okay I looked it up. You know when we started talking about heat domes on this show? At least 15 years ago. No, not quite 12 years ago and it was just a heat dome we weren't too crazy about climate change at the time but now all of a sudden heat domes are because of climate change let's forget El Nino the super El Nino let's forget to jet stream streams I forget all about that its climate change Heat Domes every heat wave more intense longer lasting and also larger in scope

1:55:22 And what we're seeing is unprecedented type heat. In fact, the heat wave in Europe that played out over the past week or so there was a study that was done by World Weather Attribution they found that the heat dome with that likely about six degrees Fahrenheit hotter than it otherwise would have been just 50 years ago and 50 years ago it would have been virtually impossible without climate change. But I've studied... So that's the impact on the European heat wave there's going to be another one shaping up as we head into the weekend and next week for the eastern US again not an unprecedented heatwave but climate change is certainly making it hotter than it would otherwise been

1:55:57 Due to climate change. You know, that's the one thing... These people should be arrested! That's the one thing I'm so-I am happy about our president at least he did that for us He just called it out and stopped all the funding of it. He slowed it down No, I think he changed people's minds. I think you really do Well let's hope so Yeah, I think so Okay now here is one more that has to do with we've been kind of talking about this on and off This is the latest iteration of let's get some new gear. This is the drone hitting the airliner You heard this one? Yes tonight The FAA is investigating a potential drone strike over New York JetBlue flight 948 from Las Vegas was on final approach to New York's JFK Airport early this morning when pilots reported a close encounter with an apparent drone at 3,000 feet You said you collided

Ozempic Side Effects, OVAJ and Medicare Coverage

Reports from the medical community highlight a new side effect of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs involving the deterioration of connective tissue, colloquially termed "Ozempic vagina." Plastic surgeons in the South are reportedly seeing an increase in procedures to correct the condition. The drug is now covered by Medicare for certain patients at a cost of $50 per month.

1:57:57 in New Jersey. Yeah, what about that one? It got a lot of play! That was good those were good times. Hey man this is real man this is Iran wasn't it aliens? Oh it's supposed to be aliens. Social media has ruined the world. It has ruined the world and so has Ozempic and my last clip will be this one There's always something with Ozempic. Yeah, there are a couple of things with Ozempic these days. The craziest shit I heard today at the salon... Wait wait! Sorry? I was going to ask you if you have ever heard of an ozempic vagina Oh no but i might want some The craziest shit I've heard today comes from a friend client in the medical sales community

1:58:42 According to plastic surgeons in the South, the highest growing procedure is to correct ozempic vagina. So if the symptoms of ozonepic weren't bad enough now there is enough deterioration of the connective tissue that it's causing the vagina parts of the vagina to deteriorate and fall out of the body so it's still attached but the procedure as far as we could tell corrects that and lifts it back into the body. So if the other, if hair loss wasn't bad enough. If all the other side effects weren't bad enough for the 1% of people who actually need to be on Nozempic not like the general public that's just taking it as a recreational option this seems like the one to watch for

1:59:37 Wow, and it's now on Medicare. 50 bucks a month! You too can get OVAJ. That's right everybody, OVAJ. But it's okay you won't be able to see it from your rotting eye disease so... It's all good, it's all good and only one man could bring that to you that story ladies and gentlemen it is the man who put the sea in chaos cruelty and corruption say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr John C DeMaria Yeah, the morning to the trolls in a troll room. Let me cut for a second. Hold on a second.

Value for Value, Podcast Funding Model

The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" funding model, which relies on listener donations rather than traditional advertising. They contrast their approach with mainstream podcasters like MrBeast who use A/B testing and giveaways. A specific example is given regarding how the show "DH Unplugged" lost its Interactive Brokers sponsorship over an offhanded comment, illustrating the freedom provided by the donation model.

But while the video is out, they're A B and C testing different images They're actually editing on-the-fly Hey people are dropping off at this moment Let's reedit it let's change this and and they've gotten to the point where all they pretty much do is give away money

2:01:51 So, you know, you watch this. You can win $250,000 but he makes 5 million! What a great business! I mean it's content, I guess... It's a great business. Before we continue, can you do me a favor? Yeah sure. Forward the spreadsheet to my Gmail account. Okay hold on a second. Well this is a tricky operation okay Hold on.

Oh there we go you got it all right good good okay All right i'm good to go Right okay So tell us about Value For Value John Well the idea is simple

2:04:33 We're producing this show, it's three hours six hours a week total and it has information that you can use for all kinds of purposes. And it also calms you down I think it helps people make wise decisions to keep some on the straight and narrow. And we don't charge anything for them but we do expect that maybe if they get some sort of benefit any sort of benefit may be for their health, it maybe for their relationships It may be some information that they needed to make a good investment. Who knows? They could give us some income to support this effort because we can't get the income any other way, We can't get the income by going to advertisers since...we could but then the show would suck and it wouldn't have any good information with those things we couldn't say you couldn't you can't make an assertion about one thing or another like

2:05:28 Well, like how we lost the interactive brokers account over there at DHM plugged. Is that because you gave bad information? How did you lose the interactive broker's account? No no it was because somebody on this show made an offhanded comment about prop bets Oh really and they got mad and then Interactive Brokers... Somebody wrote a nasty note And you know you shouldn't have said that And the next thing you know, we don't have a sponsor anymore. This is what would happen to this show if we didn't get people to pony up! So just think about the results... You won't have this show. You'll have a piece of crap show like every other podcast Let's look at an example so if the big advertiser The biggest advertiser these days is Better Health from The Wellness Company

No Agenda Merchandise, Mahjong Tiles Proposal

A discussion about show artwork by Jeffrey Rhea leads to a proposal for "No Agenda Mahjong Tiles." While some listeners expressed interest, John C. Dvorak dismisses the idea, arguing that the demographic for mahjong does not overlap with the show's audience. The segment highlights the interactive nature of the show's production and branding.

mahjong· jeffrey rhea· merchandise· cow cartel· branding· listeners

2:06:15 And we be ragging on all kinds of stuff. Like, we just did a GLP-1 will give you OVAJ. Do you think that the companies that sell that stuff would want to advertise with us? No! Have you heard have you heard a podcast talk about OVAJ anywhere? No why not?! And you won't hear it on the mainstream media because they've sold out Yeah so right... That right there is a health tip of epic proportion. Especially if you're a guy! Yeah, you know what? If you're a guy, you're really in trouble... You can support us multiple ways. You can set up a meetup, we love the boots on the ground these are extremely valuable to the show We also need money so we have time talent and treasure And um...we have found that throughout the ages it's great when you have different piece of artwork Then I'm little surprised after this fine piece for episode 1881 we titled that The Cow Cartel

2:07:12 This was a piece by Jeffrey Rhea and it was the No Agenda Mahjong tiles. And it was an interesting piece because, you know, a lot of these mahjong tile didn't really have official mahjong tiles shapes but I still...I've gotten again only tons of emails from people saying oh yeah mahjong tiles this is great people pay hundreds of dollars for mahjong tiles why don't we have no agenda mahjong tiles? Because the people that play mahjong are old women who don't listen to the show. We'll sell no mahjong tiles Okay, well there's your meeting that's literally how we run the company we appreciate you This is true and by the way I'm not the only one who shouts at the other guy No When did I last shout at you? I don't shouted you ever

Marty's Hospital Experience, Nursing Staff Concerns

Show contributor Marty shares his negative experience at a Boston hospital following heart surgery. He complained about the quality of care in the general ward, specifically criticizing the use of low-paid, non-native staff. The hosts discuss broader trends in the healthcare labor market and the shift toward using physician assistants and lower-cost labor in clinical settings.

2:08:05 Yeah, shout at you. He's did the beginning of the show he said I should be dead No what no but I did shout at you when you had a like a bypass? I'm like what are you doing your ruining the show yeah Yes, of course. I should... So Marty our joke writer Uh-huh Your joke writer Let's get this straight your joke writer? Yes One of my joke writers Oh you have a whole stable of them and you have something to say about my robot You've got joke writers okay Yeah but they're humans I come with my own material so Marty went and had open heart surgery He just went and had that like he had a taco

2:08:45 Well, he gets a lot of operations. But he had... And I had... He sent a note and I should like to read it Oh yeah! Love to hear that Is he okay? Let's just get straight into it Yeah, he made it through It was last Friday What did he have? Single double triple quadruple No, no it wasn't a bypass valve replacement or some damn thing Oh overhaul Okay Valve replacement Now he is out of trouble and he's mad because of the service he gets at the hospital. He didn't get good service, oh! He is alive isn't he? Is that not good service? Well here we go let me read this... Sorry about being switched to the general ward I did two days ago or a day and half in ICU and then sent to the general ward which was a giant step downward in every way

2:09:29 After two days of that shit, I said get me the F outta here. There's nothing they were doing there that I couldn't do at home and and the general attitude was miserable among the underpaid staff who are mostly pigeon England's English-speaking Africans doing the jobs of nurses that nurses used to do. And, the nurses that seemed to be a vanishing breed spent most of their time on there on their phones giggling with friends." There is an enormous article in this for you John especially in Boston where they idea flooding low-paid jobs to semi literate Africans not black Americans, not African Americans. Africans has taken hold I give general medicine especially in hospitals and No more than a couple of years before they would become clinics run by physicians assistants But that's already happening Wow love to talk to you by phone Thank You for both now I ran into this

2:10:24 There was a number of Africans that you run into. Now, there was a lot of Filipino women especially in the Bay Area that were doing most of this work but they were literally Africans who could barely speak English and they didn't seem competent at anything and they were in the hospital doing this and that. What is it what does this and that? That's what I'd like to know. They come in, bumble in and they do something they wouldn't get anything accomplished somebody else would replace them and they would do it they were supposed to do if there's something fishy going on with all these Africans a lot of you know

2:11:06 Somalis for example, they're all over the place. And they're eating the dogs! No that's the Haitians. Oh I'm sorry...

John C. Dvorak's Tip of the Day, RFID Blocking Cards

John C. Dvorak provides the "Tip of the Day," recommending the Magriffin RFID blocking card. The card uses electronic circuitry to jam signals from potential data thieves within a four-inch radius, protecting both credit cards and passports. Dvorak suggests placing the card in the middle of a wallet for maximum effectiveness.

rfid· magriffin· credit cards· passports· security· wallet

2:40:34 Create a class for you and me, just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. The drone's gone... Okay we got an interesting tip this kind of reflects some elements of the show and it is something I've not a bad idea This is the Magriffin which is the Amazon choice by the way RFID blocking card. Okay, now this card you get three of them for $15 so you can use them here and there and it's a credit card size card that is super thin it has RFID circuitry in it that will blow out anybody who tries to steal your

2:41:30 capture your RFID information and then use it. Do we know if anyone has really successfully done this with RFID? I think there's evidence that people have successfully done this, but it's nice to have it anyway and also will block for four inches either way from where the card is so it'll block an entire wallet and it will also block a passport Oh. To the same RFID frequency the passport uses. Ah, that's interesting So you put it in your wallet or your purse Now do you put in on the bottom of the top? Or does not matter? If its in a wall it should be in the middle somewhere so it blocks everything And... The people who sell these things and there is about 20 companies that sell them They can range as expensive as $35 That seems too much But they say that

2:42:29 Wallets that have the protective shields inside fail, they don't work all the time. You can check them out This card supposedly is the way to go because it's got electronics in it Wasn't Sir Gene selling something like this at some point? He was selling a PMP proof thing or something Yeah that was a Faraday cage you can buy little sheathes to stick cards in the networks. How about cash? This is different! How about just using cash they can't lift your cash, just use cash Cash is the way to go I'm not gonna argue with that but people do have credit cards There it is everybody this is one and only John C. Dvorak's Tip of The Day Go find them all at tipoftheday.net Great advice for you and me Just the tip with JCD And sometimes Adam

2:46:30 Yeah, yeah I'm out here taking pause with my little notebook Ask a simple question watch the whole room get shook Yeah, yeah I said what we do with folks who house But somehow never work Never clock in Never stand out Crowd got quiet Tension big like molasses Lady in the back Raise her hand through the masses Push punchline hook She said kick him outta congress Like, did she really just drop this? I'm scribbling notes fast and doing crossfit lap on this Walking through the fair fireworks in the sky A hundred thousand boomers popping off up high Lady had us a bold twist But i'm stuck laughing at this lady with the gold gifts G.S.'s Dem's primaries like a cage match Body beefing while im trying to get an aim scratch Adams in Holland dropping boots on our ground pits Im just tryna start starting more skill Like a meme with a promise Notebook full crown height vibe flawless best boy

2:47:34 Connecting this protection from the lonely broadcast blues We trade the screen's reflection for a real-time rendezvous No agenda but the human one, value for value in the flesh In this pixelated prison we break out and refresh Scroll through the dopamine dried eyes blazing the glow Chasing shadows astray They dissected for the show The isolation installation got installed in our heads Then the producers got the memo time to link up and spawn And transmission till the meetup after dark We swapped tight top takes for a real life remark Small circles in the call full of cheers To constructing the division while the good vibes steer Connection, the mantra hits different Not another notification but a handshake That real face in propaganda with laughter as the vaccine In the no agenda nation we're building the scene Used to hop

2:48:35 Now it's high fives with humans who catch the inside joke most. No central server needed, it's a mesh made of meat Organic and unfilled, the product they pushed on repeat But connection is the cure that makes the whole world feel sweet So if you're stuck in this scroll hold it baby in your room, step into the real world where the signal goes boom! Find your local producers no pressure no plan just connection as protection that's the ultimate jam. Connection is protection In the morning, in the evening Connection is protection No agenda show

2:49:23 The best podcast in the universe! Adios, mofo. Dvorak dot org slash N-A If I had known that no agenda was this good... ...I would've given them Secret Service protection
