About this episode

Donald Trump hosted a massive Fourth of July celebration on the National Mall featuring a 350-piece military orchestra led by Colonel Scott McKenzie. The event, which included a record-breaking 850,000-shell fireworks display, drew sharp criticism from NPR and The Washington Post over air quality concerns. Trump used the Mount Rushmore backdrop to deliver a speech on American exceptionalism, framing the current political climate as a red-scare battle against Marxist influence.

Senator John Fetterman warned of an orgy of socialism within the Democratic Party following the primary victory of Malat Quiros Kyr over incumbent Diana DeGette. In California, a federal investigation revealed that Democratic insider Alexis Podesta wore a wire for the FBI to expose corruption involving Governor Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Zohan Mamdani delivered a holiday address focusing on systemic inequality, while former White House lawyer Ty Cobb raised legal concerns regarding Trump’s billion-dollar cryptocurrency earnings. In the tech sector, AMD CEO Lisa Su unveiled the Ryzen AI Max processor, capable of running 200-billion-parameter models locally to bypass cloud-based data centers.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast from Museum Square in Amsterdam, navigating the cultural divide between European socialist sentiments and American ideals. The duo explores the decline of Dutch media outlets like Veronica Magazine and the rise of decentralized podcasting technology through the Podcast Index. Sir Sofa King Pool joins the No Agenda Roundtable as the show celebrates the 250th anniversary of independence with listener-supported art and a tip on electric wax seal warmers.

Amsterdam Broadcast, Dutch Socialist Family Reunion

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the broadcast from Museum Square in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

00:00 It's delicious! Still no baby, but we're broadcasting live from Museum Square here in the heart of Amsterdam The Netherlands.

First off we had a really nice reunion with the family it was great it's nice to see everybody half of my nephews are socialists And they say it. Do they greet each other with comrade? Uncle Adam, I'm a socialist! See that's why you're poor yes that's true no they are very angry and they are angry at two things the main things are angry about since you asked is hydration breaks

01:26 Yeah, I can see that. You're taking the entire energy out of the game to say yeah but you know this is...you gotta live with it! This is how we're going to make soccer bigger We don't need football, football, football not soccer, FOOTBALL to be bigger. Okay? Are you mad because your out of the game and America's still in it? Is that a problem here? No, that would be an issue. That's a sore spot I don't know why you'd say that So talking to my brother-in-law and he runs a pretty big section of a publisher of magazines which is obviously...I think one of them is still print but the rest are

CHAPTER 02 / 43 Discussion

Veronica Magazine, Dutch Media Bias

A discussion of the decline of print media in the Netherlands focuses on Veronica Magazine, which dropped from over a million subscribers in the 1990s to roughly 90,000 digital subscribers today. Reports from a Dutch publishing executive claim that journalists at major newspapers openly wear Palestinian symbols like kiffiyahs to work. The segment also notes a prevailing media narrative in Europe that Vladimir Putin is losing the war in Ukraine.

veronica magazine· netherlands· journalism· putin· ukraine· palestine· kiffiyahs

02:15 online and in fact the you know, the largest magazine in the 80s and 90s when I was here was Veronica Magazine that was The magazine of the Veronica Broadcast Corporation that I was a part of where I started my career And that magazine had over a million subscribers In the 90's. How many people do you think still subscribe digitally? Digitally to the magazine Couple hundred thousand ninety thousand and it's still one of the biggest Publications here in the country and he says oh man. Hey now, he's not a socialist He is he is very pro-trump Conservative which is an anomaly which is nice although an anomaly for someone to be so open about it. I said, ah man

03:08 because they also own a number of the big newspapers in the country, says that the journalists and management literally come to work with Palestinian flags and kiffiyahs. Oh brother. He says we're lost, but then it was interesting because he says you know but it's obvious that Putin is in trouble now I said what? oh yeah no Putin is clearly...he's in trouble now with they are losing terrain and Ukraine is winning I said bro is that what they're writing

CHAPTER 03 / 43 Discussion

Tesla Uber Driver, Dutch Housing Crisis

An anecdote involving a Turkish-Dutch Uber driver in Amsterdam reveals local frustrations with electric vehicle mandates and the housing market. The driver expresses support for Donald Trump's policies, complaining that the Dutch government prioritizes housing for immigrants over citizens. This sentiment reflects a broader feeling of political oppression and disillusionment among young voters in the Netherlands.

03:49 Because I'm not so sure about that. So, that was good and then we had a great Uber driver and he's in a Tesla course because you can't drive a gasoline-powered car in Amsterdam anymore it has to be electric And we're chatting and he's like, oh you from America? I'm from Texas. This young guy, you're from Texas? Oh yeah, hi, like lots of guns! Yeah, Tina is the first one. Oh yeah, I got to like my guns. Okay so kind of set the tone and it was like are you have a Tesla there? So now not a big fan of Tesla but it's American, its Elon. No I don't like it. You right battery car sucks. I hate it that sucks. It sucks well we have to drive it. He goes on and on like this

04:37 And then he's like, okay I want to ask you a question. Please don't be offended if he is like a Turkish Dutchman so he has a bit of a Turkish accent Don't be offended that's what you're doing. You trying to do there? Believe me. I'm wondering what the hell it was. I'm nailing it I'm glad you gave me, if he clarified that. I needed to clarify that yes He says okay don't want you be upset just and have a question said let me guess is this about Trump? Yes Did you vote for him so yeah we voted for him i'm just like well Just go all out Yeah We voted for Him! We love Him

05:15 Yeah, but most Americans if I ask them they say well. I don't want to talk about it We don't talk about who I voted for I said oh that means they voted for Trump They're afraid to say it says ah no and he's like oh so Trump. Oh yeah, it's like you know I'm 30 years old and There's no housing. I still live with my parents, so i can't get a house because our government gives it to the immigrants. I understand they have a horrible country they need a safe place to come to they need a safe place to live this comrade...I understand but they give them houses, they give them money, they give them car, they give them everything and I'm living with my parents." I said well there you go

06:01 Yes, we need someone like Trump here every single time. Every single time! They all think it's great and then they're like oh you know we really need someone like Trump here So there's a lot...it's uh everyone is oppressed here. They are...they're beaten down and the guys say I don't vote anymore why not? Because that doesn't make any difference It says they're just there to pretend, to sell me a story. But it never changes. You vote right you vote left doesn't make any difference so it's kind of sad to see it and I think wow we have such a great country We got our problems Well unfortunately you missed the big show Well I tuned into as much as possible

Trump Fourth of July Spectacle, Military Band Performance

Donald Trump hosted a massive Fourth of July celebration on the National Mall featuring a record-breaking fireworks display and a 350-piece joint military orchestra. Colonel Scott McKenzie led the Army Band in performing arrangements of rock songs by Chicago and Journey. The scale of the event is highlighted as a demonstration of the power of government resources that the private sector cannot replicate.

06:46 Well, can I explain a little bit what happened? Yes please. First of all Trump is the showman and this show was...and he had to do the show because they had all these veterans and old men and everybody coming up there and he had to put on a spectacle about by setting all kinds of records. The biggest ever, yeah 375 thousand until they got struck by lightning and had to move out is this is on the mall right not the yeah then they came back most people came back in there still was a big audience but what was interesting was Trump's speech was pretty good it wasn't funny really but it was it was it was it was a good speech but it was this show

07:33 And it was the 850,000... 851,000 shells circling the whole place that went on for 38 minutes. And then lightning came or thunder came back and started raining and washed the crap out of the air which was interesting phenomenon. But it was this band This guy, and no one credited him. I'll tell you who it is. Colonel Scott McKenzie who heads up the Army Band. They put together a... And I've looked up tried to get the details on this and I can't get any numbers other than 300-350 piece orchestra. No way!

08:20 That's look it up. Oh, that's I did not see any of that. Oh, I'm sad about was a joint It was a joint band where he picked from the best of the best Of all the best musicians in all the armed forces must have been great put this tremendous it was essentially as but just for Just for comparison sake a symphony orchestra like San Francisco is 105 people right? This was like a symphony with 1,000 saxophones. Wow! Awesome And he had... He was the saxophone... this guy's the saxophonist himself and these arrangements they did cover songs of Chicago and Journey and all these songs

09:04 And they were just so well arranged and you can tell it, they obviously had this segment, this orchestra. So some part of it would play a raucous tune with a lot of guitars and then there'd be the saxophone stuff. They had these four singers which were all... They were dressed in military, the dumpiest frumpiest military uniforms. Three I think there's three women and one bald guy Oh no! And they were terrific singers But they didn't have cool uniforms? But they would come out in uniform yeah but not cool uniforms they had frumpy forms No no just to dress whites Okay so it was frumpy looking Frumpy forms

09:47 It was funny, there's no Shakira let's put it that way. It was just straight up and it was something charming about it because you had this big military band which you couldn't do... This is the word Trump understands the power of big government You can put together a 300-piece orchestra if its government Yeah exactly! You can afford to do it you can afford to do it, because it doesn't cost anything really. But you can't do that in the private sector." So he went all the way with this and it was like just fabulous but nobody credited this unbelievable band but just to compare it to what we could expect I have a couple of clips that might give us some insight at what was going on first of all

NPR Fireworks Coverage, Air Quality Warnings

NPR and The Washington Post reported on the potential negative impacts of the 850,000-shell fireworks show in D.C., specifically citing "unhealthy" air quality and respiratory risks. The hosts compare this to a failed display in San Francisco that was obscured by fog. Technical difficulties with streaming the event via YouTube TV while abroad are also discussed, including the use of VPNs to bypass geographic restrictions.

npr· washington post· air quality· fireworks· pollution· youtube tv· vpn

10:40 Fireworks, play this clip. NPR had to find some way to throw a wet blanket on things before it even... Of course! It sucked. There's no good orange man bad. Now they made it sound like its gonna be you know they actually were pretty objective about it To the very end listen to this report fireworks in DC And just quickly Jeff The 4th of July in D.C isn't complete without fireworks I gather this one tonight will be big and then some Yeah This is going to be huge 850,000 fireworks for a roughly 40-minute show according to the Washington Post. That's absolutely massive compared to as you know the quite extensive fireworks DC has on every Fourth of July. According to The Post it could cause air quality issues actually air quality was very unhealthy and people with respiratory issues may need to stay inside or wear masks. You might die! Wooo! You worked on it nice

11:35 So just by comparison, the San Francisco... Yeah. It wasn't climate change it was air pollution. So in San Francisco, by comparison they lit up the Golden Gate Bridge and it was not viewable by anybody. Didn't they set it on fire? Oh no that was the Brooklyn Bridge I'm sorry! The local exhibit which is a bigger show than usual with 5,000 shells Wow That's a big show So 851. That's crazy, that's crazy! Yeah again this is Trump. Let's go man! It set the Guinness Book of World Records for fireworks display biggest ever yeah I saw all the flybys because that was in the afternoon Flybys were cool. This is amazing what is going on here?

12:31 Of course I couldn't watch anything on YouTube TV because, oh you're in a different country. And like I'll get you. Well I turn off my GPS and got my VPN routed through my home computer You're in a different country! You can't watch it! So I had to get some C-Span streaming on YouTube No YouTube TV. It was real sad, that was sad. Yeah but they don't... not all of them were streaming live on YouTube so you had to kind of hunt around and then you get the RBTV which is that outfit that always follows Trump everywhere Oh yeah I haven't seen them for a while You tune in right away So you're from California how bad does that suck? Okay man this is 4th July stop with that That's too much

Facebook Fireworks Black Market, Oakland Police Raids

Police in the San Francisco Bay Area are cracking down on the illegal sale of fireworks conducted through Facebook and Instagram. A specific raid in East Oakland resulted in the seizure of 2,000 pounds of fireworks from a residential backyard. Authorities are reportedly "doom scrolling" and lurking in direct messages to identify sellers using cryptic social media posts.

facebook· instagram· oakland· illegal fireworks· social media· police raid

13:23 Alright, so what else you got? Fireworks on Facebook. What is that this is an interesting? This is a local story because Locally we had he since it was fogged in and all the best fireworks displays are just some guy in his backyard Yeah, oh It's always a winner yeah I'm sure in Texas would be a little more spectacular than what we get but They're trying to crack down with huge fines and everything in between. And so when I was a kid, we used to buy fireworks from the various Chinese grocery stores in Oakland or San Francisco too. You'd go there and you have code words and the next thing you know that guy would bring out a bunch of stuff

14:14 Well now it turns out that they're selling the fireworks over Facebook. And this is a local story that I thought was kind of interesting It's almost the 4th of July and though fireworks are illegal in the vast majority of the Bay Area, you've probably already heard or seen some in your neighborhood So where are all those fireworks coming from? Reporter Darwin Bond-Graham with The Oakland Side looked into it and he joins me now for more So you start your story that was published this week with an example of a recent Oakland police raid that had a bunch of illegal fireworks. Tell us about what happened there and how that connects to the trends you're finding in your reporting? Yeah, this was a case of a person who was dealing a large quantity of fireworks out of their home in East Oakland they were advertising them over social media and that's how the police kind of caught on to this

15:03 When they ended up conducting a search warrant at this person's house, they found over 2,000 pounds of fireworks in the backyard. A very large quantity for our residential neighborhood." It sounds like social media has made it even easier for firework sellers to find buyers. Is there any way for police to keep up with those ads? Yeah that's right! The main way that a lot of the sellers appear to be marketing these products is over Facebook and Instagram and other social media. They post these kind of cryptic pictures of fireworks, and then they get into these DMs with people who want to buy them. And then they'll meet people in a parking lot or have him come to their house or somewhere else to sell them the police are

15:46 are actively scanning social media. So there's a lot of sheriff's deputies and officers from different police departments who are looking on Instagram and kind of lurking around, seeing what they can find. And that's how they're getting a lot of their leads here to figure out who these people are. Yeah well... Of course! Yeah right they're doom scrolling and this is what their excuse is? I'm looking for illegal activity man. Oh yeah I found something oh yeah Well, there were... actually I got some clips from Miz now who really they should just shut that operation down. It's getting worse! Douglas Brinkley he's a historian i think isn't it? Yeah, I think so yeah so he noticed you need to be a historian that the

16:34 that there were really two different Americas and two different speeches from two different luminaries this 4th of July. Well, they were two very different speeches both were playing with the idea of American exceptionalism Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore was talking about where exceptional and now we've got to drive the communist out of the country basically restoking a red scare something kind of speech Joe McCarthy would have easily given when

CHAPTER 07 / 43 Discussion

Mount Rushmore Speech, American Exceptionalism

Historian Douglas Brinkley analyzes Donald Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore, which focused on American exceptionalism and a "red scare" warning against Marxist influence. Trump declared that one cannot be both a communist and a patriot, defending the nation's heritage against claims of "stolen land." The hosts contrast the 250-year history of the U.S. with the much older infrastructure found in European cities like Amsterdam.

15:46 are actively scanning social media. So there's a lot of sheriff's deputies and officers from different police departments who are looking on Instagram and kind of lurking around, seeing what they can find. And that's how they're getting a lot of their leads here to figure out who these people are. Yeah well... Of course! Yeah right they're doom scrolling and this is what their excuse is?

Well, they were two very different speeches both were playing with the idea of American exceptionalism Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore was talking about where exceptional and now we've got to drive the communist out of the country basically restoking a red scare something kind of speech Joe McCarthy would have easily given when

17:21 diatribes, let's put it that way. I wouldn't call them big speeches. Ellis Island and the tradition in New York of becoming a naturalized citizen he is born in Uganda when asked he says I can't have presidential ambitions some constitution says I cant because I was born in Uganda here it is July 4th Alexander Hamilton one of the greats of the Revolutionary War era had the same issue. He served his country in every way possible to George Washington and as we know, his role in the Constitution and Federalist Papers but he could never run for president but they're a naturalized citizen Mandami was talking about it reminds us that we keep refreshing ourselves in this country having new waves of immigrants

18:09 That is the American dream and that is what makes America exceptional. Now there was a lot of this refreshing talk everywhere so I kind of like what he did here Trump is like McCarthy and Mondami is like Hamilton, I mean it's so obvious Yeah in fact they have him on Oh I have the Mondami clips! I have them Do you have this one? Well, let me do Trump first. These are relatively short This is from the mall at 250 years America is the oldest Republic on earth we are I'm sorry this is from Mount Rushmore a freest people on earth We have by the way just says you didn't hear both of them. I did not I have the other ones too Okay, the other one I thought was a little more It was little less disorganized

18:59 I thought it was okay here. Yeah, it was okay. It's a righteous and enduring constitution on earth We are the strongest and most powerful country on earth And by the grace of god The united states of america is the most successful most accomplished Most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history and it is great To be your president It is great And then this is the communist trope. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America, you can be a communist or you can be a patriot – you cannot be both! As for those who peddle Marx's lies about our heritage and tell our children that we live on stolen land... ...or that our heroes were oppressors

19:58 They're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future, not gonna let that happen." Not gonna do it? I'll do two more from the mall and then you'll play them on Down Me. This country is the home of freedom this is a land of liberty And this is a flag that's the banner Of the most extraordinary most exceptional most incredible nation ever to exist on the face of the earth. And we're doing better now than we've ever done before, no people have done more good shown more courage made more progress righted more injustice or achieved more greatness than you The American people for 250 years United States of America has been

20:52 The promise, the light and the glory among all of the nations of the world. All over the world they try and be like us nobody can be like us. He's a rebel rouser! We have thrived and flourished because our founders were great. Our cause was just our people are brave our culture is exceptional and our destiny is written by God And as we can see here tonight, after 250 years the spirit of 1776 still lives within us all. It still roars in the hearts of our nation's capital and it still burns in the heart of every patriot, thunders through every city and town and it still lights the entire world with a glow of American liberty and there is nothing like that

21:46 At 250 years old, we may be the oldest constitutional republic on earth but our country is just getting started because the best is yet to come. There you go and it's kind of you know when you hear like we're the oldest we've done this and I look at the cobblestones on the streets here in Amsterdam some of them are older than America It's unbelievable. We're not a very old country, 250 years is pretty new. No just getting started the Roman Empire went for a long time There you go John we're just getting started the best is yet to come In fact well not to just jump the gun on this but it has led I mean all these 250 years of American exceptionalism American exceptionalism! It has led thanks to the education system

Zohan Mamdani Speech, Democratic Socialists of America

New York City Mayor Zohan Mamdani delivered a Fourth of July speech focusing on systemic inequality, "white supremacy," and the influence of oligarchs. The speech is criticized for its Marxist undertones and its portrayal of America as a nation of contradictions where children go hungry while trillionaires prosper. Kamala Harris has reportedly reached out to Mamdani, signaling a potential shift toward the DSA wing of the Democratic Party.

24:58 So if you're fat, please eat once every other day. If you're kind of fat, you can eat once a day and if your skinny your probably white so you don't get to eat anything. If you have any pets please bring them into City Hall so we can feed our Haitian immigrants Well I'm off to enjoy Taylor Swift's wedding...so later comrades Programatically, I think you made a mistake by playing two nutball clips back to back. It's okay. And it was like one comic following another. Programmatically, I wouldn't have advised that but some of the real clips from his Fourth of July speech... That wasn't real? We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer stronger more powerful than everyone else

25:43 The truth, my friends is that America is exceptional because here nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed we may have walked on the moon but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence that work endures and it belongs to us all It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today. All of whom were recently naturalized nearly a decade ago I too felt what you feel the joy of no longer being just in New Yorker but an American too." Okay so he starts off reasonably okay. You each hold a special power it's well hold on reasonably okay? He's stiff this is the worst speech she could have done

26:25 He was not relaxed. He's behind the George Washington desk, I guess. Oh really? No and he has a bunch of stiffs standing around him that don't look like they're very comfortable or know what the hell they're even doing there It was terrible! No it wasn't great it wasn't very energetic but you know... he only got a little commie later You each hold a special power The power to determine what America means. See, this is... This isn't like, what do you mean? What are we going with this? The powerful have always known their answer America, in their view is an arena of supremacy. Aha! The powerful! Supremacy! Whitey... Where only a select few are allowed freedom where not all are created equal I mean this is going downhill pretty quick It deteriorates very fast Yeah, gee man come on White supremacy? We're not created equal okay There you go America if you ask them becomes less the more people it welcomes

27:28 What is this? Where does he get this from? America, they will tell you. Belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us... Nobody says this! But this is what he's doing I found this to be quite un-American actually The rest of us they insist should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit How small they are how weak How unoriginal. You're small and weak, alright? And unoriginal! Unoriginal... What do we see? We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. Swipe it Elon! We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections

28:25 We see masked agents terrorizing our... Oligarchs. Yeah, oh no, oligarchs. No listen this is... You know the oligarch thing was every consultant on the Democrat side said don't do that tells them to stop using that word It doesn't mean anything and nobody knows what the hell you're talking about. They think it's oil, they really don't know We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections Yeah who dominates podcasting? We see masked agents terrorizing our streets Eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. This is the one I thought was the best so that was funny So you go hey, can you cook me something before he take your way?

29:08 We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands. Those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone. And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few." Again with this soft hands because they don't work so there's you know just soft hands like a podcaster's soft hands all right last one... "...there are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain love it or leave it they say But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent, it's every march led under the heavy sun and it's every protest held a decade before its time. It is precisely because we love this nation that we will not leave it. After all who loves America more than those who have sacrificed so much to make it free?

30:02 Yeah, well so fine. But there was a lot of this talk everywhere of you know... It's our turn now, we're gonna change it which is very much the DSA way. The Marxist way you know like whatever the candidate now in New York like we're going to get rid of the presidency We'll just have a steering committee and all these other things. This is Sherilyn Ifill who was Gwen. We love Gwen Ifill In hindsight we never gave her enough props because once she left

30:39 Was it PBS? It was a news hour. Once she left, the news hour just fell apart. Turns out she was the one holding it together Yeah you don't know until somebody... One cog leaves and next thing you know the place falls apart You didn't know at that time When we say leave, she died So this is her niece And listen to this I remind people that We were founded a second time We will need to be founded a third time and its on us And that's the exciting part. We get to be the founders and the framers of the new iteration of American democracy, if we're willing to do it! There is nothing that stops us from doing it. So that's the opportunity at this moment. We hit 250 and then needed to restart again. That's the work before us

1976 Bicentennial Retrospective, Economic Stagflation

Archival footage from the 1976 U.S. Bicentennial reveals a public mood characterized by negativity following Watergate and the energy crisis. During this era, the country faced "stagflation" with high interest rates and 8% unemployment. The hosts note that despite the historical nostalgia for the 70s, the media at the time captured similar complaints about national decline and division as seen today.

bicentennial· 1976· watergate· jimmy carter· stagflation· unemployment

31:34 Sherrilyn Ifill is the former president of the Legal Defense Fund. She's now at Howard University Law School Yeah, yes we need more lawyers like that So I remember... Now I was young of course 1976 so i was 12 years old I remember our bicentennial I have only fond memories of it and I found a video of man on the street being asked. Oh yes, this is good! Yeah and so I split it up into two parts and we don't have to play the positive one but the negative one... So this is just all the people- It sounds the same Our negativity that we have elements of severe negativity in America they have the same complaints. And then I should remind people that 1976 which I recall

32:28 We were there. I was in the middle of working for the air pollution district, Watergate was wrapping up and Nixon was a terrible person we're ready to go into the Jimmy Carter era right in the middle of what was the equivalent of The Great Depression of the 30's with interest rates at 20%. And unemployment super high, that's when the idea of stagflation was peaking right about the time of the bicentennial. Funny enough... So it was not a good time. Didn't we just have the energy crisis too?

33:11 Exactly. The energy crisis just wrapped, OPEC was now telling everybody what to do... Yeah it was not the timing was... I'm surprised anyone had anything good to say Nixon had taken all our gold, the dollar was in free-floating currency that happened a few years earlier funny enough in this archival footage People weren't really complaining about that too much. They had, you know the same typical compliance right now We don't have a great deal to celebrate I feel that it might leave a lot of people out for me It doesn't have any real significant meaning. I mean what's the difference between 199 years or 201 years?

33:57 I don't really have any particular feel about 200 years. Somehow, I feel that it's like a big fad You know the bicentennial has been kind of a dirty word here in Philadelphia and throughout the country i think In many ways the Bicentennial is just being fabricated. This country is faced with so many problems, I just can't stand aside and say hip-hip hooray for the Bicentennial Well after Watergate the morale of the country's low Concerned that uh... The Bicentennial is still saying things that were okay 10 15 20 years ago but I don't know if they're ok now At this point in this day I really do not see any advantage to the Bicentennial

34:41 If at the time of the bicentennial we still have you know 8% unemployment. 8%, John? We have, what is it 3.4 percent right now unemployment? Around 4. According to the numbers those numbers may have changed I can't see any reason To go around patting ourselves on the back for having just survived two centuries There's a lot of divisions here in United States It used to be called the melting pot. I don't know what's happening here, you know? Maybe the compounds are beginning to separate again and people in United States are diverging again so... We're endorsing Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1976 but you know an Associated Press has done a study in Miami where they gave out the Declaration of Independence and didn't say what it was and asked people if they would endorse it

35:29 Only one person out of 50 on a Miami street corner would endorse the declaration. You know what they said why they wouldn't endorse it? This is commie junk, The work of a raver I'm gonna tell the FBI about this kind of stuff See your whatever girls have no hold and lock on idiocy We've always been dumb So these are the kinds of problems that we face We have strayed so far from the original conception Of what patriotism and love of country is that we now believe that everything this country stood for is subversive. No one wears American flag lapel pins anymore, have you noticed? People have lost faith people don't know what patriotism is anymore I think maybe the best thing for this country isn't 1975 being International Women's Year even more than 1976 being Bicentennial because I think maybe women should have a larger say in really what happens in this world and our basic loving

36:25 tendencies, you know rather than let's beat each others heads in to get what we want. Let's love each other, let's not kill each other I think that we've done already enough buildings and enough covering the earth with concrete. It's a climate change dude And destroyed enough of nature already that maybe progress is regress I'd like to see the Bicentennial deal with the kind of future I think we're gonna have. And, I think it's going to be a sort of troubled future." We are not necessarily the greatest people that ever existed on this earth! We thought we were... We've broken down. We have to rebuild No? We're gonna rebuild on the basis of adversity whether you like it or not Are we gonna have more and more of everything

37:17 No, for a long period now we're gonna have less and less of everything. Yeah well the... Of course the opposite is true We had the 80's The 90's And then ran into trouble again It's a cycle Yeah the 90's were really prosperous But I don't hear anything really different from the complaints we get today You know it's the same So we grouse a bit Maybe it's just the media We grouse a bit That media picks the same people That that my ultimate conclusion The media picks the same people, although NPR really tried. They had to say, listen boss I got an idea we'll do a segment and we'll have some people record their answers on this cell phone and send it in and air it all the way boss. Just as contrasted because I know what you're going to play because I saw that or heard too but

NPR Swing Shift, Anonymous Voter Sentiment

NPR’s "Swing Shift" project followed a dozen voters in swing states to gauge their pride in America. While many expressed "shame" or "embarrassment" regarding the country's current state, most remained cautiously optimistic about the future. The hosts argue that anonymity allows voters to speak more truthfully, particularly those who support Donald Trump but fear social repercussions.

38:09 Bill Hammer was at the fireworks display and afterwards as people were streaming out, they were doing a live feed. And this was just people leaving. And he would just go up to live feed person after person, after person after person and if you took all that stuff and put it together it was nothing but positive in fact it was ridiculously positive so your point about...and I think this is true and everybody suffers from it if you're in the media Yeah, you know when you go out there. There's the positive stuff is not that interesting yeah It's just a bunch of people saying this was great I love Trump Stop that even thought the Fox people probably even though we gotta do some negativity here So they asked swing voters if they were proud of their

39:09 imperfect America. And now more... Oh man, I'm so sorry! I screwed up my... I screwed up my... Suffer and suck a tash! I'm Scott. I screwed up my own jingle. Simon. And now more voices of our fellow Americans NPR has undertaken a project that we call Swing Shift it follows a dozen voters in swing states and pair senior political correspondent Tamara Keith checking in with them periodically on gas prices, their opinion how the president's doing and today on how they feel about America on its 250th birthday.

39:45 Hello Tamara, this is John from Pennsylvania. I sent John and the other Swing Shift voters a list of questions about America 250 years in and they sent back thoughtful answers recorded on their phones. Question is are you proud to be an American? Why or why not? The answer is yes, I am proud to be an American. It's a very imperfect country There's a lot that still needs to be worked on a lot that still needs to be done and Still he's proud they all are with varying levels of nuance Yes, I am and always have been proud to be and I would still say yes here but with some slight embarrassment I'm proud to be an American

40:26 This is the greatest country on the planet Earth. We live in the best country in the world, you know? We have democracy we have freedom I do have some pride to be an American however I also have a lot of shame Why wouldn't I be proud to be American? I mean...we live in one of the best countries in the world That was Jason Wally Gerald Teresa Evan and Lee NPR agreed not to use their full names so they can speak freely about politics in these polarized times. And I think that is a clue that they give us there, the minute you let people speak anonymously then the truth comes out yeah i'm proud to be American it's pretty good country It's alright, oh it's a little bit of shame but in general sounds like people are optimistic

41:14 And I'm quite sure if she had at least one besides the guy said, I feel some shame. She had enough she would have put it in the report She just didn't have it so That was like you said you experienced this kind of an offhanded way there in Holland when? The driver asked people who they voted for and they wouldn't say and used to they voted for Trump Yeah but their Which is probably true, but they wouldn't say it because it wasn't anonymous. Exactly! And the driver was interesting he's like I love it here because we just say who we voted for and I think were pretty clear in America too What I feel is that Americans come over... First of all why are they over here? They're here for business or they're here to run away from evil orange man and they just don't want to say it.

42:09 But media-wise in the United States, the minute it's anonymous then the truth comes out. And she had a second piece here... The final question I asked was for one word or phrase that explains how they feel about America's future These swing voters are uncertain, concerned hopeful worried excited and cautiously optimistic and then there is Lee who has a new job and his optimism is unqualified. I think we're going to have a good What? Hold on a second His optimism is unqualified? Well, technically what she's saying is that everybody else had qualified optimism. Which means that you... Yeah I'm optimistic but... He who has a new job and his optimism is unqualified! I think we're gonna have a good future because why wouldn't we

Freedom 250 Investigation, Military Industrial Complex

Congressman Huffman and the Natural Resources Committee are investigating "Freedom 250 LLC," a shadow company allegedly used by the Trump administration to solicit foreign contributions and enrich cronies. The investigation claims donors were misled into giving to Trump-related entities rather than the official bipartisan commission. The hosts note that major defense contractors like Raytheon and Northrop Grumman are involved, linking the funding to Dutch purchases of Patriot missiles for Ukraine.

freedom 250· smithsonian· raytheon· northrop grumman· mark rutte· ukraine

43:03 I think she's just saying that guy is an idiot. It can't be right. Well, he sounds like one! That can't be right so then we switch over to Ms Now and we have Representative Huffman And of course, MSNOW was all over the set up to the House being taken over by Democrats for the impeachment of Trump. Yeah a lot of this is in the jurisdiction of the Natural Resources Committee and so our oversight investigation team has undertaken a year-long investigation

43:41 that really I think should upset every American because our country only turns 250 years old once we were on track for a broadly unifying national celebration with serious folks like the Smithsonian leading the programming Congress. Yawn! Set up this commission Yeah, compare that with Trump to show him it Oh the Smithsonian is going to need this Can you imagine? Yeah, slavery. Horrible. The yawns serious folks like the Smithsonian leading the programming Congress set up this commission to be insulated from politics to really be above politics and it was going to be a lot on

44:25 I think that fireworks are above politics. A band playing a bunch of hot songs with a big sax section is above politics. He's actually leading into something which is a topic you brought to our attention several weeks ago. And it was going to be a lot like what many of us experienced in 1976, something that we could all feel good about our government leading instead... Not everybody! You've already proven that wrong. Donald Trump hijacked and made it all about himself and his vanity projects his political agenda and all these endless schemes to enrich himself and his cronies. Enriching so with America with Freedom 250?

45:09 Freedom 250, he enriched himself and all of his cronies. Yes this is a scandal. Congressman it's Sam Stein here the report that you put out today really looks at whether money was misdirected and if donors were misinformed about where their money was going, assuming they were giving to the congressionally mandated committee. And then it turns out that they were giving to the Trump related committee. This is sort of a reoccurring pattern I know you've been focused on the triumphal arch that he's trying to build in Virginia but we just don't know the sources of the money how he spending the money where are the money is going and who it's going to in a lot

45:51 Can you speak in broad strokes about what you know as someone who does have jurisdiction over this and what you would like to find out? Yeah, this report pulls back the veil on how they hid a lot of this from public scrutiny. And they started out with an attempt to take over that bipartisan commission that Congress created when that failed, they went to plan B which is this elaborate uh... mac in a shun where they set up the shadow company freedom to fifty l l c they housed it within a beloved charity the national park foundation and over at the department of interior and he did it in a way that all of their fundraising another activities would be insulated from public view and so they started

46:37 shaking down and misleading donors, soliciting foreign contributions. They siphoned off the resources of the bipartisan commission that Congress authorized and they did it all in this veil of secrecy through Freedom 250." So this is the organization that Silicon Valley guy, the Indian guy put together? Rake something or other was his name? Yeah, I don't recall his name. So all of this secrecy... he fleeced the donors? It's- it's- I looked it up! It's public! I read the documents ma'am and it's Raytheon, it's Northrop Grumman, it's all the military industrial complex! Yes, the usual suspects Coca Cola I mean it's not like they didn't fleece any donors They said hey Trump went over there saying listen

47:30 You like these contracts? Chip in, man. Make America look good! Pay something for the mall." Oh no... He just enriched himself and his cronies. Yeah, Coca-Cola. His cronies are Raytheon. How's the money coming from Raytheon to win it? Well I guess it does enrich them because they get a contract somewhere down the road that they would have gotten anyway who else you're going to contract some of These Patriot missile banks too. They're the only ones who make them! Which we sold, the Dutch 700 of them as an aside... Oh, Raytheon is good for them? They bought 700 Patriots to give to Ukraine literally! And you know how you pay for it with a freedom tax there's a new freedom tax in Holland because we're protecting your freedom. Wait let me get this straight

48:25 The Dutch people have been suckered into paying a freedom tax to give our company Raytheon money to buy missiles that then they would then give away to Ukraine. Yes, and then they tell the media Putin's in trouble! It's working people is for your freedom tax money is working Wow. But this is, so this talk though is all part of the setup. You sold that deal? Ruta! It's our guy it's Mark Ruta. He has done his job. Trump you are the trillion dollar Trump you did it again man is great

Ty Cobb, Trump Crypto Earnings

Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb criticizes Donald Trump's earnings from cryptocurrency ventures, which reportedly exceeded $1 billion last year. Cobb suggests these activities may violate the Emoluments Clause and represent a "great onslaught of corruption." The discussion focuses on the legality of a president promoting an industry while personally profiting from commemorative coins and digital assets.

ty cobb· crypto· emoluments clause· corruption· meme coins

49:06 So, Ty Cobb who used to be a White House lawyer he's now grabbing the bull by the horns because we have to set everything up. Because you probably won't be wrong but I still took the other side of the bet because there are two of us if the Democrats take the house in midterms they will immediately move to impeach the president and this is what they are hammering, is enrichment of his cronies himself and he's clearly crooked. Our friend now Ty Cobby as a former Trump White House lawyer. Ty pretty interesting there when you look at that chart and how much Trump has made and how much everyone else has lost What is your reaction to this scale? Of what we're seeing in the

49:53 How much Trump has made and how much everyone else has lost? This is the best part. Lost what?! Well, so that they show the chart of the meme coin...of the Trump coin Which, you know it's exactly what it is. You sell...you make a million of these Trump coins or however many they made as an ICO everyone knows how it works there are tens of thousands of them and you sell them everybody buys him when the price goes up and then he dumps all of the insider stuff that they have which is another 10 million And then you put that in your pocket and then the market goes down. And everyone else lost, and you won! That is exactly... Oh they lost? I see. Exactly how it's been working for a decade almost. This disclosure of how much Trump is earning from these crypto ventures over $1 billion last year alone right this isn't a cumulative number It's in one year An industry he has actively promoted and supported and done policy executive orders related to Is it legal?

50:53 I don't believe so. Certainly, I don't think it was contemplated by the founders when they created the Emoluments Clause. I do think that one of the line items is commemorative coins several hundred million dollars income related to those coins How can that be anything other than trading on his image and likeness? Yes! The image and likeness he's built up for what 40 years Yeah, and I think this all launched before he became president. Closer to 60 years. Well if yeah... In violation of the emoluments clause? It's in violation of the emolu- is it in violation of the emoluments clause? Is that in violation of the emoluments clause? The emoluments clause has

51:36 is with gifts foreign gifts. With regard to the crypto, obviously that's a slimy industry. Certainly the way he's going around it where he creates policies that can only enrich himself and his family. Congress is making laws about that. The president isn't making laws about crypto. It's something I think the average American should be staggered by, but you mentioned scale and I think the scale here is just it's intentional there's no question we are seeing the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history mankind in last 18 months. Mankind! So this is what they're going to do? They're gonna take

Joe Kernan Interview, Trump Business Defense

In a CNBC interview with Joe Kernan, Donald Trump defends his business success during his presidency, attributing the stock market's rise to his leadership. Trump claims his sons, Eric and Don Jr., manage his businesses through semi-blind trusts to avoid conflicts of interest. He dismisses concerns about his stock holdings in companies like NVIDIA, stating his primary focus is the "much bigger purpose" of the Oval Office.

joe kernan· cnbc· nvidia· stock market· blind trust· eric trump

52:21 You know, they're gonna say crypto. Crypto! Which will confuse everybody and then they're gonna make it very confusing or what is crypto? And what did he have and has crypto this, has crypto that... Yeah I think you are right. Because it's a good one because no one would not not a lot of people understand it millions do but certainly not most. Many people have enriched themselves with crypto of all sorts But they're going to use this over and over again, and the hearings will go on forever. They'll be explaining crypto." And Trump did an interview with CNBC, he did a sit-down with our...with the guy we like, the one guy who liked Joe Kernan

53:03 And here's the two clips about these accusations. Now many people argue business experience is needed in government and we've seen the stock market in the first term, in the second term I think it has been rewarded to have a businessman in there so... I think we shouldn't be surprised that your businesses are doing well but how would you counter critics? that say you're using the presidency to enrich yourself and your family? Well, in a lot of ways if you think about it. The stock has got up so much the stock market today is up 500 points It's up to almost 53 thousand You know I watched your show or you had somebody on one of your brilliant analysts And they said if I had won the election they said if President Trump could get

53:53 the stock market to anywhere near 50,000. That would be an unbelievable achievement and that was over four years in other words at the end of his term four years if he could get anywhere near 50,000 there'll be well it's a 53 thousand just a couple points short of fifty three thousand right now and that's essentially after a little bit more than a year I kind of disagree with this because, I believe that when you devalue the dollar with printing money in essence and we've done a lot of that. Doesn't the stock market automatically have to go up? Is that number kind of irrelevant? You can say well this is in 1984 dollars which would be this much today

54:39 Don't you have to say the same thing about the stock market with 53 might be, you know 35 in 1984? Or am I... I think you can make that argument. I don't think it's valid Oh, okay All right They continue Do you worry that if they take the if the Democrats were to win the house That there's going to be endless investigations of you and your administration? Well, you know i don't do anything having to do with my business My kids run it. I put a lot of money in I've made money. You know, I'm a business person. I'm a really good business person and I've made money. I made a tremendous amount of money more than I would have ever thought I would have made

55:24 And I let people invest in it. I don't even know who they are, but it's given to big firms like that are on your show all the time. My son Eric handles it and I'll talk to him about things such as this. I think I'd be allowed too, I'm not sure what the status is but I don't and he gives into these semi-blind trusts or blind trusts where people invest There was a story today about Jensen Wing, who's fantastic. NVIDIA and I have some stock, I think it's very small. I think it's one of many companies that one of the big Wall Street firms invest in so they said oh Trump has some stock in there but how do you care about that? You know why I don't care because

56:12 I have a much bigger purpose. You know, this is the Oval Office it's a much bigger purpose than whether or not i make money Anyway that will be the uh... That will be it. That will be fighting for years and years to impeach him and get him out again And on the other side we have really this socialism thing is quite interesting and somewhat alarming I would say because you see I really didn't even believe it myself, but I see this what they call the red-green alliance happening more and more.

CHAPTER 16 / 43 Discussion

Kamala Harris, Red-Green Alliance

Kamala Harris is reportedly reaching out to pro-Palestinian activists and DSA members like Zohan Mamdani to shore up support for a future presidential run. This move is described as an attempt to ameliorate the "downfall" she experienced in 2024 by embracing the emerging "Red-Green Alliance" of Marxists and Muslim voters. Critics argue this strategy doubles down on radical views that previously alienated moderate voters.

kamala harris· zohan mamdani· axios· dsa· palestine· muslim

56:52 red for the communists and green for Muslim. Yeah, I'm thinking there's something to that now here's what Kamala Harris is doing it's like oh you know that Mamdani guy he's got both he's a commie and he's a muslim i should go talk to him. An interesting scoop in Axios Kamala Harris reached out to Zohan Mamdani New York City Mayor and significantly pro-Palestinian activists to talk about things. Heimer, what's that about? Look I'm not surprised by it. I mean Cass and I talked about this for the last couple of months. This was a big piece of Kamala Harris' sort of downfall in 2024 she just could not wrap her head around talking communicating with this wing of the Democratic Party And how aggrieved they felt

57:35 recently with the DSA emerging as something that's been- You better pay attention. I mean, you better pay attention and so I think she is doing her politics correctly and obviously Mayor Mandani is sort of the mayor of the moment. So she's doing the right thing but she's recognizing that she has to ameliorate this before the next election. Which means I'm asking you, is this a tell? Is this the strongest tell of all that she's running. She's doing everything she can right now to put herself in position to run again. I think it's very likely but there are still some consideration that she may not- The first tells when she didn't run for governor. Right exactly exactly but she wants to keep black voters as close as possible as well. Yeah, I think it's interesting that so many sort of hedged around whether or not they support Mandami ahead of his election. And now you have Kamala Harris remains the favorite in the odds betting market right now and she is calling him what I do think is interesting from a Republican perspective is Mandami espouses so many of the things that when Kamala Harris talked about them in 2024 voters ran away from

58:35 So it's interesting that instead of saying, what are the lessons we learned from 2024? Talk about the DNC autopsy. She's doubling down and she's embracing she seen this is the future base of the Democrat Party and as you can't win if he can turn out your base Maybe maybe who needs to combine the commie and Muslim and call them mommies or mummies No. Okay, but it's so bad that even Federman who... Oh yeah, Federman hates this. He is such an interesting dude! You had the representative who won the

John Fetterman, Socialist Primary Victories

Senator John Fetterman warns that the Democratic Party is becoming an "orgy of socialism" following several primary upsets. In Colorado, 29-year incumbent Diana DeGette lost her seat to Democratic Socialist Malat Quiros Kyr, who has made controversial statements regarding the October 7th attacks and praised Joseph Stalin. Fetterman expresses concern that the party leadership is failing to isolate these extreme views.

59:19 the primary in New York. Solidarity is the force that we need to vanquish Trump's fascism, to abolish ICE and stand up for the billionaires who are rigging our economy. Can a democratic socialist get elected president? I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position We want to demonstrate that this is not some fluke This is about an entire movement of working class people who know that we can demand so much more

1:00:02 Now, John Fetterman, Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania. Sir good to have you back and good morning to you I want to motor through a couple of topics and this is the first one You said the other day that there's a significant part of our party that's being taken over with these extreme views now others are saying it's just a few here in a few there you said significant explain that Well, I think your colleague Chad just pointed out. She was praising Kim and Stalin. Between those two men 100 million people murdered some of the most evil and terrible people in the world are in history and she was praising them saying we don't have enough of their books

1:00:46 in our libraries. And of course, she deleted those things but this is not ancient history this is all recent views that people like this we are electing and on this network I've described it...I think it was with Jesse? I said you know our party's becoming an orgy of socialism and I think I've been vindicated to see the way these elections are working out. It's kind of concerning Yeah, well of course you know I think the whole thing's an op. But that's just me... Let's play this clip! Well no, it's not just you. It is an OP Let's play my favorite one though, the person in Colorado. Yes. This joker in Colorado really takes it over the top. The ideological battle within the Democratic Party on full display yet again. Democratic Socialist candidate ousts another sitting Democrat in Congress. NTV's Melina Weiskopf has key takeaways from Colorado's primary elections

1:01:45 Longtime Democrat Congresswoman Diana DeGette from Colorado is the latest target from the far left of the Democratic Party. Yesterday, the congresswoman who served here in the House for the past 29 years lost her seat to the Democratic Socialist candidate, Malat Quiros Kyr has previously commented that the massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7th was the inevitable consequence of apartheid. House Republicans this week warning about the dangerous rhetoric from far-left candidates like her We've watched members of their coalition say Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East doesn't have the right to exist

1:02:22 Kirris's win is the latest in a string of victories for the Democratic Socialist movement in America that has led to the ousting of several Democrat incumbents here in Congress over the past few weeks. House Minority Leader and Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries when asked about this trend told reporters this... Ultimately it will be in hands of people of Denver but reality we have an unsettled electoral environment Another progressive candidate, state representative Manny Rutnell in Colorado's 8th district won the Democratic primary nudging past a moderate state lawmaker. Rutnell will now face Republican incumbent Congressman Gabe Evans in November. The results tonight could not be more clear out of touch far-left Democrats just nominated the most radical socialist Colorado has ever seen ban oil and gas band natural gas stoves this is

CIA Election Management, Bernie Sanders Influence

The hosts speculate that the rise of anti-Israel and socialist candidates may be an "intelligence operation" designed to get people to reveal their radical leanings. They discuss how Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich have successfully pushed the Democratic Party further left over several decades. The segment explores the potential for a coalition between young Marxist voters and Muslim groups, despite their differing long-term goals.

cia· bernie sanders· robert reich· israel· genocide· youth vote

1:03:12 one of the most purple districts in the nation and Democrats are eyeing it as a pickup opportunity for November. House Speaker Mike Johnson telling reporters on Tuesday that the contrast for voters couldn't be more clear Now, I've been thinking about this particularly speaking to my brother-in-law here. So two of my nephews one is a socialist and one is completely right wing voted for Scheidwilders etc. They're in two different countries but the same basic ideas they both agree on one thing Israel committed genocide and

1:03:48 If this truly is an op from CIA, which you know there's plenty of evidence to go around that they have managed elections and who runs our country for a long time. That would be the perfect one! You just want to get the people who are against Israel to talk together And it's all going to be young people Which is the weakness of the plan because young people don't typically vote as much as older people But I can see where you get these anti-Israel slash Muslim pro, like Mandami types together with the Marxists and free stuff. And I can see how they would have molded that does that fit into your thesis? Well my yeah in some ways it and i think a lot of it is to get people to reveal themselves

1:04:41 In other words, you know you set up shop make it look normal and then see who jumps in. And I have this clip from Rance Pribis He was asked about this the whole of Democrat socialist stuff and he was blathering on on Hannity and this is Pribus going on and on and I think he of all people... Who's Pribus again? Rance Pribis is the original A guy who ran the original Trump office, he was the chief of staff for Trump in 2016. He's a wimpy looking guy and he was put in by somebody else but he's kind of come around... Put him by the CIA maybe? No I don't think so because I don't think he's read-in unless even this is being part of the plan but what he says to me after he's done

1:05:32 what he's missing. Well, I don't know if we're teaching people anymore like we used to. You have Muslim countries from the west coast of Africa all the way through the Middle East all the way through Asia basically and you have this little tiny spot Israel on the map and they've been persecuted for decades and decades in centuries for that matter. I mean there's no doubt about it but the point here is very clear, this is a leadership problem not a messaging problem. You have a Democrat Party you have Hakeem Jeffries Schumer Ken Martin all of you all out there in the Democrat Party They're not calling it out this stuff needs to be isolated and rejected if...if..the entire democrat leadership called out

1:06:21 these kind of comments. This gal from Colorado that she was called October 7th inevitable, she called 9-11 inevitable every party leader in the Democratic Party should have called her out every state party local party county party if everyone did that and ostracized this person for these crazy comments she wouldn't be elected but they're not willing to do it they have a leadership problem here's another question tell me what If you're in the DNC right now, which swing state in 2028 do you want one of these DSA lunatic communists campaigning? To John Ossoff and Roy Cooper. Which one of these DSA candidates do you want running around in North Carolina and Georgia this fall campaigning? The answer is none of them! So there was... Well let me say something. When he says that they won't call him out

1:07:19 I think you might be missing the point of that there's been this underlying current, even since I was in college within the Democrat party that is extremely socialist and it's starting to emerge after all these years. And its a sincere movement its bad for the country and bad for everybody but has been bubbling underneath the surface and the reason that the leadership doesn't make a point of calling it out is because in some ways they're, they want it. They love it! Yes. They want it the Democrats want because Bernie Sanders has been harping on this for year after year after year we need to go more left so he keeps wanting to you know he and Robert Reich who was actually we saw him on the street he lives in Berkeley

1:08:13 Robert Reich came out and if you look at this he's got a podcast or something. Did you yell at him? If I had seen him sooner. He has a podcast where he's the same thing on Substack, Democrats should not move toward the middle they should move further left and so it's undercurrent they've decided okay we're gonna try it let's see what happens and they're all and I think there sincere about it So there was this guy... And you were being encouraged by the op Yes! Can I? And I think that Op is bigger than just the Democrats

CHAPTER 19 / 43 Discussion

Jeremy Boring, Islamic Caliphate vs Marxism

A segment from The Jeremy Boring Show features a former Muslim discussing the "natural alliance" between Marxists and Islamists against Western systems. While both groups seek to dismantle the current order, their ultimate goals—a secular utopia versus a religious caliphate—are fundamentally at odds. The hosts also note Tucker Carlson's recent positive comments about Muslim countries as part of a shifting political landscape.

jeremy boring· daily wire· islam· caliphate· tucker carlson· lgbtq

1:08:49 But it will behoove the Democrats, Democratic Party. There was this guy Jeremy Boring who is actually he lives up to his name there's a term for that when someone their someone's personality is like their name? Yeah there is a term I forget what it is He's kind of boring He was the co-founder of The Daily Wire with Shapiro and he has a podcast Of course The Jeremy Boring Show And he had this guy on Burmawi, a Muslim who left Islam and converted to Christianity. And there's a whole hour about this most of it was not that interesting but I have two clips that I thought kind of fit in with this exact conversation about the Red-Green Alliance Now Islam fits that narrative

1:09:43 because Islam is non-Western, non white colonized, non Christian so it checks all the boxes and Islam by nature is anti West. So the alliance they became just naturally like a couple who are in love, even though they don't agree on almost anything else. They agree on the enemy that Marxists they want to take down this system because they want to build their utopia Islam wants to take down this system because it wants to replace it with the caliphate with the rule of Allah So both groups are saying well let's work together

1:10:37 And let's kick the can down the road and we will figure out who is going to establish what later. For now, let's take down the system." I think that spot on! And of course the communists always forget that once the combined group has the power, the Muslims will kill them. They're first to kill... they killed them first. Yeah, that would be the way you'd go So I was like, I mean is don't think they they think I don't know what they're thinking. I Not a communist so I can't figure it out and that means the whole idea of queers for Palestine Is this summarizes everything but now you see that you have a Tucker Carlson who is Saying Islam isn't that bad? These Muslim countries are pretty good love cut cutter love cutter a house there You know

1:11:37 Israel is horrible, Israel is responsible for all of our problems. And so you're bringing in another group that are kind of coming together and eventually will wind up voting for these Democrat candidates." Or it's possible, not all of them. But I think you're right the Democrat Party sees the power, sees the movement and they're like well we don't have much else and we can still throw our LGBTQ in there because they are all for it It is a interesting game to watch Oh its terrific Now considering this coming from the intelligence sector or CIA

CHAPTER 20 / 43 Discussion

Bill Pulte, DNI Interim Appointment

The appointment of Bill Pulte as interim Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has sparked controversy due to his lack of formal intelligence background. Critics argue the move is a "tricky" way to bypass legal requirements for nominees while conducting a purge of the intelligence community. Concerns are raised that the vast capabilities of the FBI and CIA could be turned against American citizens for political purposes.

bill pulte· dni· intelligence· fbi· homeland security· isis

1:12:24 This is probably why the president has appointed the bull in the china shop, Bill Pulte as the interim DNI and he's doing the purge. So you have a director, the most senior of the Director of National Intelligence and Pulte himself has no experience in intelligence He is known primarily for doing the President's bidding And now his Chief of Staff also No experience and has a history of looking into election fraud claims. Which concerns you more, the competence question or the ideology question? I think it's all of them. Number one it's against the law to put Bill Pulte in there because he has no intelligence background. Okay this was interesting...I'm like wait a minute it's against the law to put him in there because he has no intelligence background

1:13:14 The law... That's bullcrap. Well, the law says no candidate to be- No nominee shall have no intelligence background but Trump has already nominated another person he's not the nominee he's the interim so this is another nice move tricky dicky move by the president He nominated someone who has intelligence background and experience but this guy is just here for you know until we to remove that guy through ideology question i think it's all of them uh... number one it's against the law to put bill polton there because he has no intelligence background is actually articulated so this suitability both on knowledge and experience but also character from both bill clinton now as chief of staff

1:14:01 But what's their intent? What are they looking to do? Are they looking to make the intelligence community better, the DNI was supposed to be a synchronizer. Supposed to help with efficiency and sharing of information that is not necessarily what they're going to do but it sounds like and what has passed as prologue is that they are now looking at creating another big lie and now use the power of the intelligence community the FBI and Homeland Security and others to do the bidding to forward this conspiracy. And that should alarm all Americans because the capabilities of the intelligence community are vast and impressive, which is why we were able to dismantle ISIS and hunt down Bin Laden and all things we've done during a global war on terrorism to keep us safe after 9-11. That is not what we're going to see going forward. We're gonna see these capabilities potentially turn on American citizens

CHAPTER 21 / 43 Discussion

John Brennan Lawsuit, Russian Interference Claims

Former CIA Director John Brennan has launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging he is being targeted for his role in exposing Russian interference in the 2016 election. The hosts discuss Brennan's history and the "Russia collusion" narrative, which they claim has been debunked. They also touch on Brennan's personal background and his alleged ties to the "Red-Green Alliance."

john brennan· cia· john durham· marco rubio· russia collusion· lawsuit

1:14:53 Yeah, of course. We turn on American citizens like John Brennan who has done a cool move John Brennan is now suing the Trump administration Firing back at Donald Trump's revenge campaign is where we begin this hour with former director of the CIA John Brennan Thank you for being here and having this conversation with us Absolutely Nicole thanks for having me on Yes Nicole vocal fry Put your headphones on What? made you sort of take a different legal strategy because the facts have always been the same. And I just want to ask you to go over the facts of this smears and the alleged investigations into you as they've been unearthed by Trump ally John Durham, by Marco Rubio who was the senator in charge of the Intelligence Committee when it comes to that 2016 intelligence assessment?

1:15:49 Well, Nicole. Clearly I didn't come to the decision to launch this lawsuit against the Trump administration President Trump and the Department of Justice lightly But as you and I have talked numerous times over the past 18 months Donald Trump has been engaged in this campaign to punish individuals. He considers his enemies and I am being targeted by Donald Trump because I fulfilled my obligations in 2016 as director of the CIA To expose Russian interference in that presidential election of that year He's doubling down Talk about your your op

1:16:27 Muslim Brennan Wow right yeah this guy's unbelievable yeah but he is so they're gonna he's gonna stick with the with the Russia collusion thing even though it's been right oh the lids been long since blown off it by Tulsi Gabbard mostly this guy was probably in charge of the red-green alliance within the intelligence community Yeah, he probably was since he was a Muslim and nobody to this day has ever ever just asked news media said hey are you muslim? Are you a muslim? Any and a good muslim has answer yes No, no a good Muslim doesn't have good Muslim. Is that that thing where you can lie oh Oh I'm sorry forgot about that part like there's a term for it yeah lying

1:17:20 Well, I mean there is a specific term for it. Perjury! It's called lying for the purposes of the... to benefit Islam. Interesting. So in conclusion there is a definite situation we have to be aware of in the United States and that's..I think this red-green alliance has something to it But if you just have a bunch of Imams and clerics running around, it doesn't work. It only works if you get an Imam Dhani or a Chevalier This is where this is where it's dangerous when you have the communist who converts to Muslim like the Jewish guy in New York They had him doing a whole bunch of Quran citations Yeah he said Damascus That's what we have to look out for

CHAPTER 22 / 43 Discussion

Gavin Newsom Wiretap, Sacramento Corruption Case

A federal investigation into Governor Gavin Newsom's inner circle revealed that Democratic insider Alexis Podesta wore a wire for the FBI starting in June 2024. The wiretap was part of a corruption probe into Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty to fraud and tax charges. The revelation has stunned Sacramento political circles, as Podesta was a key appointee within the administration.

gavin newsom· alexis podesta· fbi· wiretap· dana williamson· sacramento

1:18:18 And then we have the intelligence community, the FBI going after Newsom. I have a clip yeah so i'll play mine and if yours you've got anything that well actually let's play yours because you're in California you probably have something better Newsom wiretap, that sounds the same. Stunning new report reveals the FBI recruited a member of Governor Gavin Newsom's inner political circle to wear a wire as early as June 2024. So who was this cooperating witness? Alexis Podesta, a veteran Sacramento Democrat who worked under former governor Jerry Brown

1:18:56 She did so in 2020. Newsom appointed her then to the board of the state compensation insurance fund, a position that she still holds. She later became a key cooperating witness in the federal corruption case against Newsom's former chief of staff Dana Williamson who pleaded guilty in May to federal fraud and tax charges. And that's where the story takes a major turn, The New York Post is reporting quote Democrat insider Alexis Podesta secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom then Chief of Staff Dana Williamson The revelation that she was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation. And that timeline matters, the wiretap would have been authorized during the Biden administration and federal wiretaps aren't handed out lightly

1:19:53 investigators must establish probable cause, show a wiretap is necessary and the DOJ must approve it. Then a federal judge has to sign off and the authorization is limited generally just 30 days at a time with every extension reacquiring a new application and new judicial approval is required." Yeah they're going after him and I'd looked it up Alexa Podesta is no relation to John or his brother. No, it's no relation. But the thinking by some reporters is that she was caught up in the scandal with the chief of staff She went straight to evidence! She sang like a canary she flipped

1:20:36 She flipped and they said, if you really want us not to do anything with you... You're gonna have to wear a wire. Yeah that's- They usually have something on ya if your wearing a wire If your walking around for since 2024 with a wire... There is something going on. You are doing it under duress Nobody is voluntarily doing that People will shoot you if they, you know. I mean there's been... Oh she fell out the window! I'm sorry So yeah this is bad Yeah that's bad well That's why Kamala is sniffing around Mamdani You know who do they have at this point? Who do they have? Well the other thing that you know that I'm convinced of which Is that part of the whole

1:21:27 The op of the commie-op is also to sideline Josh Shapiro. And they've done that because all this anti Jewish stuff has come, all this antisemitic stuff. Can't have the Jew. And CNN had an interesting little chat around with somebody saying well he presents himself as more Jewish than than these other guys. He's Jewish. Do you have a clip? No, I wish they should've gotten the clip. Did they say he is more Jewish? No that would be John Stewart always using the term Jewie but that would be a deal killer so Shapiro is because Shapiro I think could be a great candidate yeah

CHAPTER 23 / 43 Discussion

MKUltra Hearings, Tim Kinzer Testimony

Recent congressional hearings have revisited the CIA's MKUltra program, with Dr. Tim Kinzer testifying about the history of secret mind-control research. The discussion shifts to modern "lone wolf" actors and the potential for algorithms and social media memes to program individuals for violence. The hosts explore the idea that DARPA-developed technologies are now being used to influence mass behavior through digital propagation.

mkultra· c-span· tim kinzer· darpa· algorithms· lone wolves

1:22:17 Because he's got the chops, he's got executive experience. He is running a state... That kite will not fly in this Democratic Party! You can't be a Jew anymore it's just not going to work. So they've managed to sideline him? How do they even allow Bernie Sanders to speak anymore?! That's a very interesting point Or is he just an old crank and they don't even see him as an old Jew? He's an old crank but you know he's okay, he's not really Jewish the most Jewy of them all. The videos suck. It's all old stuff, okay? We have a hard time even believing Apollo 11 Okay But you know they saw stuff on the moon or something so it was just a dud and The witnesses aren't really witnesses and not really whistleblowers So it's just nothing so he's moved on I think this guy is entire

1:23:26 Modus operandi is, you know if I can just cut on Joe Rogan a couple of times. I'll get reelected So now he's on the MK ultra tip Which is a lot more believable than the UFOs. And they got hearings! Have you seen any of the MKUltra hearings? I've been meaning to go back to C-SPAN and look specifically at them, but no... Let me bring you up to speed. I remember when all the talk about MKUltra broke and then they were talking about lawsuits and there were lawsuits and CIA in the federal government said that this didn't exist and then they came back and said well it does exist

1:24:05 And then, but we're not doing it anymore. I guess my question to y'all first is which lie do we believe? Because he's doing stick! Are these MK Ultra survivors who are hooting and hollering in the background? Obviously there was an open bar before this thing started so thank you all but Dr. Kinzer Hit your mic, brother. You're on the mic. It's an old CIA trick. I'm just kidding. But I think he's trying to become a personality in these things. And like Kennedy, he's trying to be John Kennedy Oh well he is failing He is no John Kennedy I put myself into the place of one those senior CIA officers and now I'm thinking to myself like the ones back in the 1950s Well other people must be doing this We'd be falling behind if we don't do it and nobody is looking over our shoulders! That I think is your job So I think there is a definite

1:25:09 uh... air of urgency and total secrecy if the if any current research is going on and if it's conducted in any comparable level of secrecy to the original mk ultra it's very deeply secret okays very deeply secrets so Let's bring us up to speed, make it a little more current. Let's talk about some of these lone wolf people which we used to call lone wolves now they're just known as loners. What are the possibilities that what we've learned in MKUltra now that is advanced so much algorithms and the computer and getting

1:25:53 loaners that some of these loaners could through this just mass propagation of whatever you're doing, could cause someone to maybe take a shot at the president. I know there's a lot of speculation out there about the Butler shooting and, I guess even the Charlie Kirk shooting. I just hate to speculate because I don't know...I have no first-hand knowledge whether those guys were programmed through radio waves or through their computer activity so i would never hazard a guess except to say what I've already said that they developed means

1:26:33 that we've never been told about many, many years ago and I imagine they've evolved to be much more effective now. I think this guy was the only...I forget who that was it was Dr. Kinzer. I think he's probably correct that memes and algorithms they definitely can affect people And you know DARPA now this comes from Pachanik, so take it with a grain of salt. But Pachanik told me that DARPA the defense... When did you talk to Pachanik? Oh we're talking years ago, years ago and he told me this years ago and there's evidence of it that DARPA Defense Agency Research Project who thanks Al Gore created the internet and Tim Berners-Lee but we all know is Al Gore

CHAPTER 24 / 43 Discussion

Palestinian Activism, Tim Burchett on MLK

The hosts debate whether the current pro-Palestinian movement is a result of modern internet memes or a continuation of decades-old campus activism. Congressman Tim Burchett draws a parallel to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., suggesting that government agencies create a "climate" of hostility that leads to violence without direct execution. The segment concludes that mainstream media propaganda is designed to drive voters toward the Democratic Party.

palestine· cal berkeley· phil specter· tim burchett· martin luther king· propaganda

1:27:30 evaluating the effects of quote-unquote social media back in the late 70s. And I think there's something to that, and just look at what memes can do they're very powerful and if you can control algorithms and get stuff going... You know? You can move people places! You can get people to want to defend Palestine and hate Jews The problem I have with that thesis is that when I was at Cal Berkeley 50 years ago plus

1:28:08 Way before memes or social media or before computers desktop computers at least pre desktops they were yelling the Palestinian thing and then you know Palestine Palestine seems to be code for something and then when I heard that speech which I've discussed on the show before a Phil Specter who gave it three-hour lecture in Wheeler auditorium And he, as an aside went on that when he was a kid. He had heard this Palestine versus the Israel thing before Israel is even a country and he was hearing about this Palestine-Palestine-Palestine so I'm not convinced that memes are gonna trigger some guy to take a shot at Trump. Let me counter that

1:28:55 Maybe Palestine, Palestine, Palestine never worked until they had the internet. And then oh now we can do it! It still doesn't work What do you mean? They're getting people positioned to be elected We have a mayor in New York...it is working I don't know if it's working anymore than... Well, if this is an op and may not be working. It may be artificial. I'm going to make the argument that it's artificial. Okay well we shall see comrade! I'm gonna start calling you comrade just I'm hedging my bets just in case And our friend Burchett also was hedging his bets because He doing the same thing that he did with the UFO UAPs listen to this Sounds to me like your describing something like Martin Luther King assassination

1:29:44 The FBI didn't carry it out, but he'd created such a climate just denouncing King as the most dangerous man in America and putting out all this material about how he was helping communists that they must have thought it's gonna filter down Somebody will take action and then we can say we didn't have anything to do with it. And James Earl Ray was third-rate thief he made an incredible shot one foot on a commode one foot in a in a bathtub leaning out of a window basically and The next day the or that afternoon all their shrubbery was cut in front of the flop house He was staying, and there's a lot on that one. That will never be discussed I have some friends that were there so I guess I could come on I read pretty close to firsthand knowledge But yeah, I'm sorry

1:30:30 I'm probably going to get audited when i walk out of the room. Thank you, um chair lady I yield back my four seconds yeah okay so they're not really talking about MKUltra they're talking about propaganda media propaganda and there's we can we can certainly show that there's a lot of mainstream media propaganda that is intended for one reason and one reason only is don't vote for Trump vote vote Democrat even better oh I mean I think it's a...I think this op idea, there is something to it. It's possible, plausible could be happening Well, it will resolve itself shortly but I still think the Democrats are getting in and getting the House and I don't know if they're going to get the Senate But they're gonna get the House for sure And they're gonna impeach Trump even though its gonna go nowhere Its just gonna be a huge waste of time Yes! Waste of time and useful content for

State Department AI, Kelly Fletcher Interview

Kelly Fletcher, CIO of the State Department, discusses the implementation of generative AI to assist with translations and administrative tasks. The department has rolled out a tool called "Beacon" to 50,000 users to help resolve IT help desk tickets and password resets. Fletcher describes the "AI Champions Program," which trains employees to promote AI usage within embassies, though the hosts characterize the effort as "pathetic" and focused on "administrative toil."

kelly fletcher· state department· generative ai· beacon· help desk· silicon valley

1:31:32 Ms. Now and other cable news networks, they need something I saw an interview just to can I switch topics here? Yes Please I saw a interesting interview on FedGov today You know because they do podcasts obviously good use of your tax money And they had on They did have an interview with let me see she is this I think the CIO of A second where it says here Her name is Fletcher, Fletcher, Fletcher. Kelly Fletcher State Department CIO so she runs the computers for Marcos outfit

1:32:16 And they have had quite an interesting experience with AI. I'm listening to this and i'm sure you'll pick up on the same things that I did. Honestly for the State Department generative AI is like the perfect technology for us we translate things, we write a lot it's pretty magical for our mission Magical! So we rolled out to 3 000 users to start You know, it was in development. It crashed. She loaded a document that was too big and it crashed. PDF's worked fine but like oh an Excel table forget about it you know? It was imperfect And I'm so thankful we had these 3,000 users

1:32:55 they were committed to it. We would change the underlying prompt in a small way and these users would notify us of the change in performance before our analytics did, It was so cool! So we actually recently sort of hit the knee-in-the curve moment. We spent probably a year... Oh, we gotta remember this one The knee-in-the curve moment This is this is a good one What does it refer to? So you have to look at the knee if someone's lying on their back and then the curve all of a sudden shoots up because their knee is bent. The knee in the curve Okay I think it's one we need to keep track of before our... Okay, we can keep track of it but I don't think it's gonna go anywhere. It was so cool. So cool We actually recently said that If we wait for it. At the knee-in-the-curve moment

1:33:51 a year, year and half just saying use it use it use that we built this for you please use it. We now have well over 50 thousand users we have about 20 thousand users every single week unique users. Unique users she's talking like a Silicon Valley lady And now we have to get, we don't have enough users so let's get some champions. Yeah, we've a really strong like community of users. Community? Right! So these are our employees Some of it is like not technologists but technology users become super-users they talk to each other and they engage

1:34:27 And I thought organically this will grow. You know what I mean? They're sitting next to non-superusers, it'll grow But now we're being more intentional about it So we have the AI Champions Program These are folks who like explicitly part of their duties are To go around their embassy or their domestic office and say to people, hey this is what I'm doing with AI. Would this work for you? They get to call themselves AI champions their cohort they get extra training honestly it's really cool. Some kind of Gestapo team called AI champions. They who aren't you using this? What do you think they're ultimately using this technology for?

1:35:16 Search engine no close so right now. I would say we have AI agents, but as a user you don't really see them And they're because they don't really exist in the background But we're moving to role of something We're calling beacon and it is your personal administrative assistant So all those things that your you know how much leave do I have? You know, I forgot. First thing we do how do i get out of this job? AI agents How much leave do I have how can I leave this desk? Well that's that sounds that is government worker in a nutshell having been there number one How much the sick time Do I have how much money how much leave do I have Can I combine the two I'll get sick

1:36:03 Then take a week off I'll be in Europe for two weeks. This is it how much leave do i have? You know, I forgot my password on my phone Do I have to go into see someone or can someone help Okay if you're a government employee and you forgot your password on your phone Maybe you shouldn't be an employee like all the admin. Yeah, yeah administrative toil It's what administrative toil of how do I get out of this job for two weeks in Europe? All the administrative toil it's gonna help with that We have the infrastructure to do it But I'll tell you it's the training that's getting us Because right now you would call all different helped us to solve these problems and those helped us have scripts And some of those scripts are great

1:36:48 And some of them are not. Okay, so now we're coming down to the nitty-gritty all of this money All of this effort all of these agents running around doing stuff We need to show some numbers people Show me some results and we found about 60% of our tickets from the IT support center could either be sped up or totally resolved through an agent But we need the agent to be very clear if it can't help We need to send you to the right place to get help, but it can't not help because then we're going to be in a situation where folks just aren't gonna trust it.

1:37:25 Hey lady, get to the point. The hook! How long do you expect to be able to get through? It sounds like just a volume of stuff to be able to work through even with the advantage of using AI tools So for the IT Support Center I think we have a full plan for about 60% of the tickets We receive which we received almost 1 million tickets here and Now rolling that out. We're gonna see how it goes with users I think we're gonna get users My hope is that 10 to 20 percent of their helpdesk questions are resolved through beacon in the next six months So it's for help desk I forgot my password What do I do? Do I need to go see someone? I mean this what a waste and is this the best they can do hmm, it seems pretty pathetic now if you ask Mark Andreessen

Mark Andreessen, AI Medical Services

Venture capitalist Mark Andreessen advocates for the use of AI in medicine, claiming that "Dr. ChatGPT" is already more knowledgeable than most human doctors. He highlights a company called Open Evidence that provides AI-driven medical literature analysis for practitioners. The hosts also reminisce about Andreessen's early days at the University of Illinois and his development of the Mosaic web browser.

1:38:18 Man, that head... That guy's head. It's an egg shape? No it's an egg! It's not egg-shaped and it is completely smooth I mean, it's like his head is like a giant ostrich egg. I'm surprised he doesn't wear a hat A tiny one. A cowboy hat would probably be the way to go No no everyone would know like dude you're just hiding that pointy... He has a conehead! That's what he is and he seems like a nice enough guy but uh... I met the guy had dinner with him once oh yeah? when he had hair Oh

1:38:55 That's how long ago it was. And with his hair and everything, he looked... you never knew he had that shaped head for some reason I think he probably should have gone with a toupee Well i think it was so..I met him virtually in 1993 and he was still at school. I've told you this story. And I had the MTV.com Gopher server and he says hey I've got this thing, it's called a web browser mosaic and you can set it up on MTV.com and he sent me the HTTPD...I think 0 1 point 4 or something? Yeah this is way before I met him yeah well he was in school so I think once he was a billionaire like I'm gonna deal with the toupee I can get any chick I want egghead or not just call my boy Jeff

1:39:51 So here he is about, he's asked the question about his favorite models. And so again we're back to policy questions which is there are going to be policy efforts to kind of prevent AI medicine from happening or robotic medicine from happening but the capabilities for sure are gonna exist I mean Dr. Chachapiti is a better doctor than 99% of doctors like people hate you know doctors hate when you say it but like it just really is We have all these new companies. We have this company, a brand of one of our companies Open Evidence that's actually the AI medical service that a lot of the doctors use and it's within the medical field and it's great by the way as a patient you really want this because you want your doctor to have state-of-the art AI right supporting all of their... By the way if only they just had all of the information at their fingertips right? To just like really understand because no human doctor can possibly read all the medical literature

1:40:45 Dr. Chad GPT, that's what he is going for. Yeah that's inevitable. And here is an ad that producer Gary sent me as Meta is rolling out their AI and I don't think they have a good strategy at all trying to sell it now as part of your WhatsApp for extra $5 bucks per month or we could get the pro version for $19 dollars a month They have since they are, you know socially conscious and they know how much their users although I don't think their users are graduating from college. I think their users are 70 60 70 years old probably on average Well we have to be socially conscious So we have to help these kids who were going to displace from the workplace and get them new jobs

AMD Ryzen AI, Local Model Processing

AMD CEO Lisa Su unveiled a compact AI development system capable of running 200-billion-parameter models locally. The system is powered by the Ryzen AI Max processor with 128GB of unified memory, allowing for high-performance AI tasks without a cloud connection. The hosts discuss the potential for this technology to disrupt the current "hyperscaler" data center model.

lisa su· amd· ryzen ai· gpu· npu· local ai

1:42:33 Further proving my point of the idiocy of the hyperscalers and data centers, Lisa Sue, Susan who is the CEO of AMD. She just did her big keynote, Steve Jobs like keynote and one more thing was this... Now I would say this is pretty beautiful. Do you guys agree? So let me tell you what it is. This is the smallest AI development system in the world, capable of running models with up to 200 billion parameters locally not connected to anything. It's powered by our highest‑end Ryzen AI max processor with 128 gigabytes of high speed unified memory that is shared by CPU, GPU and NPU.

1:43:23 This architecture accelerates system performance and makes it possible to efficiently run large AI models on a compact desktop PC that fits in your hand. 1900 bucks, we're getting there! This is gonna be such a meltdown when people start to figure this out What does JC say? He's all in on the same thing Good, makes me feel good he has no qualms about that Well, let's change the subject again. We should probably at least discuss the big shot funeral that took place Oh yes! Yes... Yeah this was rather interesting On the 4th of July as we had already accurately pegged It didn't get the play that they wanted You can't do a funeral I can have a funeral compete with 850 thousand shells

Ali Khamenei Funeral, Iranian Succession

Reports on the funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei highlight a moment of intense political transition in Tehran. While the BBC focused on the massive processions and symbols of "resistance," CNN noted the conspicuous absence of certain key figures, raising questions about the regime's stability. The hosts speculate on the health and status of the Iranian leadership following recent assassinations and internal shifts.

ali khamenei· tehran· bbc· cnn· revolutionary guard· iran

1:44:24 No, but here's the BBC report. Bringing Iranians from across this country. Here they can queue men in one line, women in the other to get food and water and to rest They tell us they're heading to Tehran They want to be able to go to the vast Mosala complex where the former Supreme Leader is lying in state

1:44:59 And then on Monday, what's expected to be a huge procession carrying his coffins through the streets of Tehran. Millions are expected to turn out many will but many won't those who suffered during the restrictions and repression of his nearly four decades of rule In the midst of this morning, this is an intensely political moment. You'll see on all of the photographs and flags a clenched fist – a symbol of resistance and also revenge – a message from the leaders of this Islamic Republic. The war assassinated their supreme leader and many others but they're still standing and still in charge

1:45:41 Well, that's interesting. That was the BBC take who clearly want to continue to have the stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz out of our hands CNN had a rather different report. Erica, I think that is the most striking absence that everybody's asking. Where is he? What is the reason that he has not made an appearance yet because even the head of the Revolutionary Guards, Ahmad al-Bahidi who had not been seen in public since his appointment after

1:46:33 I have a lot of home in comedy was killed made an appearance at this funeral how come he's not showing up for his father's for his own daughter's funeral. And the only way that he has communicated has been through written messages and if this funeral is expected to project an image of resilience, strength and also leadership transition I don't think this messaging is complete without Khomeini's, Morshad Mahmoud Khomeini appearance during this funeral

1:47:10 A little different message. Of course, the guy may not even be alive for all we know I wonder myself You know Trump keeps saying like oh there was a bit of regime change new people We killed the old people then we killed the new old people now they're dead and now we got the new guy Yeah kind of cavalier about it yeah he likes killing people I have a kind of the religious, and but i wouldn't call her a nutcase. But this woman who runs Grace Ministries Amanda Grace

Amanda Grace, Jewish Calendar Convergence

Prophetic speaker Amanda Grace discusses the convergence of the U.S. 250th anniversary with significant dates on the Jewish and Islamic calendars. She notes that the three-week mourning period between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av coincides with the Ayatollah's funeral and the anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. Grace urges spiritual alertness, citing the historical significance of these dates for major world events.

1:47:50 I'm not familiar with her. Well you will be after you listen to this, this is a rundown of what's what's to come after the July 4th party. Hello everyone Amanda Grace here something fascinating is beginning today and actually converging with July fourth. Oh! I have seen her she has like kind of us small room that she's standing in? Yeah Yeah, yeah. Hello everyone! Amanda Grace here. Something fascinating is beginning today and actually converging with July 4th that I believe we really need to pay attention to the fact that these events have converged together this particular year that is America's 250th anniversary let me explain so the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar begins July 2nd 2026

1:48:41 Can I just ask in advance, does this result in the rapture at any point? I don't think so. Okay, it's a Jewish fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple now it marks the beginning of a three-week period of mourning that leads to Tishba Av or the ninth of av Now the 9th of Av begins this year July 22nd 2026 It is considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar on which they not only fast and pray but But they recognize that very serious world events occurred on the 9th of Av. Some of them were, the spies returned with a bad report both holy temples were destroyed The Jews were expelled from England and from Spain And World War I began America's 250th anniversary this year falls within these three weeks of mourning between Tishba'av and the 17th of Temus

1:49:43 I don't think that's an accident. I think we have to pay close attention to the fact that these two events are converging within this time, you know what else is happening too? Within this three week mourning period the Ayatollah Ali Khomeini funeral which happens to begin July 4th 2026 and goes to July 9th. Guess what July 4th is on the Islamic calendar? It is the 19th day of the first month or 911, and it's concluding July 9th 7-9 1979 was the Iranian Revolution this is all happening within this three week period between the 17th of Tammuz and the ninth of Avv that's not an accident we have to be heightened

1:50:25 and alert spiritually, intercede and pray because there is a profound reason this is all converging. I would have clipped that on myself! Yeah well um...I expect Sir Brian of London to give us the full report Oh he'll be glad to Yes, he will let us know if there's any truth in this but yes we must be very careful We must be on alert Well, I'm always on alert. So I do have one Ask Adam clip. Oh! Okay, I'm ready. Okay before we play it this is a clip you want to listen to...I want you to tell me what this is all about? And this is the 30-second clip

CHAPTER 30 / 43 Discussion

Preteen Influencers, Soda Pop PR Campaigns

A report on "preteen online influencers" highlights a trend where young girls are monetized to promote makeup and skincare products. Additionally, a wave of health influencers was reportedly paid by PR firms to defend soda consumption after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. proposed removing it from food stamp eligibility. Many influencers failed to disclose they were receiving up to $50,000 per post for these coordinated messaging campaigns.

1:51:15 Ask Adam Context. What is this about? Women's bodies have always been big business and you can go back to the 90s there was an obsession around being as thin as possible fast forward in the to the 2000s, you know we saw a lot of focus on having big lips tiny waist. Now the focus may be on being young forever but it's always been a money making business is the difference now that young girls are being monetized? I mean it strikes me that that Ellie Mae has taken on a role as a money maker

1:51:55 Ask Adam, ask Adam Will he know or will he won't? I don't know but here we go. Ask Adam, ask Adam Answer the question! Go! Can I hear the last 10 seconds of this clip? You can listen to it again if you want. I think i need a few more seconds of this clip. A lot of focus on having big lips, tiny waist now the focus may be on being young forever but its always been a money making business is there difference now that young girls are being monetized? It strikes me that Ellie Mae has taken on a role as a money maker

1:52:35 Okay, is this... it is either. Is it a reboot of the Beverly Hillbillies? Wow! That's out there no. But I admire that shot that was a good one He admires my shot. It was from half court Shot in the dark Yeah, I did a granny style underhand Is about OnlyFans No, it sounds like it's about prostitution. What is exactly about and I took the... It's not a context clip obviously because I thought was so fascinating the way they put everything. It's about preteen online influencers

1:53:21 There's a big trend going on. This is a report from I think NPR or BBC, one of the two but there's a whole bunch of these preteen online influencers that are paid to promote makeup or whatever and it just like... For kids yes. For kids? Yeah Zephora Which brings us to another kind of a angle here, just part of that clip. I have this Maha clip and this is the Maha soda pop influencers clip You know last spring something strange happened online i want to share with everyone The moment Robert F Kennedy moved to pull soda off the food stamp thing Oh! This was a big to-do This was from several months ago, maybe almost a year ago

1:54:14 A wave of influencers, dozens of them just blew up their feeds overnight. Outraged all trying to defend soda and I'm like these are dietitians these are health gurus defending soda? All at the same time within the same 48 hours I found that very odd almost every one of them just happened to mention the same thing that president loves Diet Coke. I'm like interesting this is Probably not a grassroots reaction. This is a script and if you pull the string on it, it comes out comes from a PR firm that has been quietly texting influencers their talking points and offering at the very bare minimum $5,000 a post. I thought it was 5,000 but if you are a larger influencer you can get 20,000 50,100 even up to 500 or more per post and i'm not kidding that's like a lot of money involved in this so

1:55:14 So there and the problem is their posts are not mentioning that they're being paid. So, unfortunately... You know, it's like you got to be suspicious of these posts because it all seemed to be attacking at the same time. But here's what people need understand this is like the normal now and online influence is the product. You can buy it by The Post and the overwhelming majority of marketers now run influencing or influencer campaigns with a multi-billion dollar machine Yeah, and from what I understand after this came out that most of these influencers were paid and didn't disclose it then there was a whole wave of them apologizing like hey, I took this money. I really shouldn't have. I feel bad about it because they were all exposed yeah? This is the same way that they're paid to influence soda pop They can be paid to influence elections They can be paid to influence all kinds of things Yeah, that's what you do

CHAPTER 31 / 43 Discussion

Podcast Index, Decentralized Podping Technology

Adam Curry discusses the ongoing effort to decentralize the Podcast Index using Distributed Hash Table (DHT) technology to ensure the medium remains uncorruptible. He explains how "podping" allows for near-instant notification of new episodes across modern podcast apps. The segment also covers Curry's current location in Amsterdam and the technical advantages of using modern podcasting platforms over legacy apps.

1:56:18 And quite frankly, I think that's our exit strategy. We might as well just sell out! Yeah you know i'm thinking we can probably do influence campaigns for coffee for chocolate for honey products Honey products For resumes that get results...I mean hey maybe I should just thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in 128 gigabytes of CPU. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr... John Cena! In the morning! Ah, in the morning to you, Mr. Ampere. In the morning our ship's sea booster graphite in the air. Subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hold onto second trolls mate, I gotta count you. Hold onto- Oh, 1471 that's more than I expected

1:57:19 on this 4th of July weekend, which I would like to remind everybody. We're working! We're working, fourth of July weekends... uh... I'm working here it is 10 p.m. You actually flew to... you're not only working in another country Yes and in a different time zone and I really should be here hanging out with my daughter but no Sorry, I can't come visit you Thursday or Sunday. Sorry! I know...I know I'm only 40 minutes away but you know gotta work You have a public service people tell me about it Oh your forty minutes away? From Rotterdam yeah Oh i thought you were staying in Rotterdam near them No no we're staying at Amsterdam We're right near the museum plane

1:58:04 Oh, the Rijksmuseum? The Rijksmuseum. The Van Gogh Museum. Uh...the Stedelijk Museum which is modern art and then they have the MOKO! And that's uh like they say they have a Banksy and some other stuff there I don't know isn't it in that Banksy doesn't it have to be attached to a wall or something yeah you had to take the wall down generally So no, but it's important to us because we know that people rely on certainly 1400 people rely on us doing it live at this hour. And we're happy that they're listening and they're probably listening at NoAgendaStream.com or under modern podcast app because you just wasting your time with the legacy apps. First of all, you never going get a bad signal. You not gonna go know that we went live

1:58:53 And you certainly ought to be able to listen to the live stream in your modern podcast app. Then, we have a troll room which is our studio audience they hang out and if you can't even if you can when we publish the show within 90 seconds because of the pod ping technology that all these modern podcasts apps are using and it's now this would decentralize decentralizing this podping stuff even more and people can even participate with a gossip listener. So we are really taking the power away from ourselves, actually. We're taking podcast index and we're going to decentralize that It'll all be in DHT which is distributed hash space so the whole podcast universe will be distributed and uncorruptible And it will be the only media

1:59:47 distribution format of its kind that can do that. And we will make zero money from it, which is kind of weird but also kind of fun so I hope everyone appreciates that. I know you do John. Oh yeah! and i think you should get a Nobel Prize. I always appreciate the not making money part. Yes you always try to tell me to re-evaluate my choices in life So you can get a modern podcast app at PodcastApps.com Now we have made our own, speaking of money, our own vow to not succumb to commercial interests

CHAPTER 32 / 43 Discussion

Value for Value Model, Independent Media Funding

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" funding model, which relies on voluntary listener contributions rather than corporate advertising or platforms like Patreon. They argue that this model ensures editorial honesty, as they are not beholden to sponsors. Listeners are encouraged to return value in the form of "time, talent, or treasure" based on the utility they receive from the program.

value for value· patreon· advertising· donations· independent media

2:00:27 and only work in a value for value model, which means we give you our full program. Everything we have twice a week the full Monty no expectations up front all we always suggest is that you think about the value you ever see which can be... You know would you please take the value pitch because I asked to do it last week and I think he should do it again this week. You're pretty good at it people are tired of hearing me say You're good at, but it's just kind of well you give it in such a way that its relaxing. I'm more irked about is because the idea is that we produce very elaborate product that people are kind of stunned by how professional it is and then we give it away

2:01:18 And we just hope to God that people make the realization that the reason that we're giving it away is because we can't do this any other way and be honest. Because if you have advertisers or corporate interests, you have to cater to them even though sometimes will do so subtly maybe make it sound as though you're not doing but you have to do it! You have to knuckle under in one way shape or form Have you tried their new Coke Zero? Yeah, like that. So it's delicious! So there is a lot of... the honesty factor depends on whether you want to... we're the only podcast that really does this well because we were very sincere about it other people try to do half-baked value for value some people are

2:02:12 Or reticent about it. Some people are shy about it. That's the real problem. They oh god I don't want to have to ask for money. Oh, yeah, I'm asking for money. But I don't wanna go to patreon Yeah, and then give 30% 2 patreon or whatever you have a bunch of money to patreon Then they get a check in the mail that patreon can cut them off and yes patriots at yes patreon can cut him off and Patreon you have to have levels they kind of force the I don't think you can just willy-nilly give any rando donation. Yeah, that's the other thing we've actually pioneered the rando donation where you give whatever you feel like You know what do you think is it? What does it worth to you now The idea of course be honest about it Is that maybe gives people the you know they might get loose

2:02:59 I'm going to give it a little more than normal. If you got $50, I'll give them 55 or 50-01. Do you feel loose yet? I want to get high on that list. Do you feel loose? 50-05 is the good one. It's a super high quality product. You had me at super high quality product really. That's where you have... It is super high quality product. Every once in a while somebody will comment about it. They say how do you guys do that? You don't, you're not in the same room. You don't rehearse. You don't practice and your like remote and you go for three hours jacking away about these various topics And it is smooth and sounds like if you know you've been doing it forever Well, that's because we've been doing it forever

CHAPTER 33 / 43 Discussion

Air Traffic Control, Post-COVID Safety Concerns

An anonymous air traffic controller provides a "boots on the ground" report regarding a recent near-miss incident between two aircraft. The report blames a combination of post-COVID staffing issues, inexperienced pilots, and the implementation of text-based communication systems (CPDLC) that reduce active listening. The controller warns that reliance on automated systems is degrading the attention spans and response times of both pilots and controllers.

air traffic control· atc· faa· cpdlc· near miss· aviation

2:03:42 We've been doing it for 19 years. If you don't have it down by now, you're never going to get it down so that's what Value for Value is all about. There you go! So you can support us in a number of ways time and talent and treasure now the time and talent part is critical to the model we have never called our listeners listeners or as Rogan calls them fans You know, you are producers. Everyone has an obligation and not everybody has a time or talent in their mix Some people are very good... It's actually interesting because everybody has a specialty And that is why we have such interesting boots on the ground reports from

2:04:29 Oh man, people in aviation. People in medicine. People in education. Broadcasting! People in broadcasting. People in carpentry. People in welding. People in trucking. You can't name a vocation... We have a lot of truckers? Yes. You can't name a vocation that we don't have someone out there who is an expert in the field and is happy to share their experience with actually got boots on the ground from the anonymous air traffic controller about that almost incursion where we had one plane incoming and the other plane took off after like 30 seconds of getting clearance. And so then the incoming plane had to do a go around and pulled up so it didn't crash into him? Yeah, I said you know hey i'm kind of disappointed that

2:05:25 that none of our air traffic controllers wrote in, so I'll just read what he wrote. Finishing 1881 regarding the near miss and ATC these things in my opinion are a culmination of things all resulting from COVID where one to two year pilots were promoted after large amounts of retirements occurred through the scandemic Also during those years the FAA implemented CPDLC, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications. Basically text messaging from air traffic control to pilots Now, with the recurring note on the topic of screens and smartphones destroying our younger generation's ability to do anything outside of drool and scroll. Imagine a system where air traffic control pilots don't have to talk to each other for majority of their flight. Everything is done over text message. Click accept and the plane does it!

2:06:19 No one has thought through the impact it's going to have. When you eliminate the constant need to listen and respond in a timely manner, The result is delays in response and slower attention spans." Quote Oh! when ATC sends me the next text command I just push the button It's noticeable pilots are slow to respond sometimes called three or four times before acknowledging This doesn't exclude controllers Making the job more efficient with tech takes away from what actually gets the job done. The God-given ability to speak, post COVID freeze hires are unwilling to do the study to study the point six oh so post-covid freeze hires are unwilling to study the 0.65 to know the rules not sure what that means so he winds up by saying no agenda pilots do better, no agenda controllers pull your heads out and do the job stop relying on a computer system to do your job thank you for your courage the anonymous controller kind of a concerning note

CHAPTER 34 / 43 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Blue Acorn Varga Girl

The hosts review the listener-submitted artwork for the current episode, selecting a "Varga girl" pin-up style piece by Blue Acorn. The art features classic American symbols like the eagle, the flag, and fireworks to commemorate the 250th anniversary. They also discuss the use of AI-prompted art and the "Art Generator" website where producers can submit their work.

Yes so but that's the kind of quality analysis you get on The No Agenda Show from our producers now you can also organize a meetup there's a lot of things you can do we do need to pay bills and that's where this value for value comes for value often enumerated in cold hard cash don't send your water your blankets We just want your cash But first we gotta thank a talent and that is the artwork that always gets attention.

Trump Voice ISO, Electric Wax Warmer Tip

The hosts select an AI-generated voice clip of Donald Trump for the end-of-show "ISO." John Dvorak provides the "Tip of the Day," recommending an $8.98 electric wax seal warmer from Amazon for use with the No Agenda signet rings. The tool allows users to melt wax beads or sticks without using a lighter, facilitating the creation of traditional wax seals.
