Cytoshitosis

00:00 I like me some bubbles. You like your bubbles? I like bubbles. Adam Curry, John C Devorah It's Thursday July 16th 2026 it's your award-winning Give My Nation Media assassination episode 1886 This is no agenda Suffering from rain stick backscatter and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA Region number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where i'm wondering what is Microsoft Hello? and why would I want it to enhance my experience? I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Wait a minute... Isn't Microsoft Hello a really old product?

00:45 cropped up this morning on a boot. On a boot? I booted the machine and it says, hello! Would you like to install Microsoft Hello to enhance your experience? What is it? What is Microsoft Hello? I don't know. I never saw or heard of it. It sounds like... When you said that the first thing I thought was remember the old Mac 512 and you'd boot that up and would have that cursive hello? Yeah, little hello guy. The little hello yeah. Hmm. I'm sure it's some kind of AI thing That, uh... No that can't be because your system- I thought that was CoPilot. No, ah, CoPilot Schmopilot but your system doesn't upgrade. What do you mean CoPilot SchmoPilot? CoPilot Schmopilot! CoPilot Schmopilot I tell ya! Isn't it, but isn't that in the... Is isn't your system unupgradable? Exactly yeah no It's Windows 10 That's interesting So maybe um

01:44 It must be they must have upgraded your What's that browser called edge? That's possible your Edge browser. Yeah Microsoft into remember they integrated the browser into everything and there are always screwing with it Became such a nightmare Everybody was creating viruses, you know There was a point when I think of Windows he just couldn't turn it on. He's like don't turn it on today It's not a good idea. Oh yeah, because it was Tuesday. No! Patch Tuesday they were going to load up some junk that was gonna ruin your machine. No it wasn't patch Tuesday...it was when they had Internet Explorer and you know like well we're integrating the internet into everything so you open up your files you know file window and then it would be connected to the internet

02:34 Just in case. You need to browse the web, oh my goodness! Oh we've come a long way... Thank you very much for the rain stick. You're killing people. It was a request by a producer and I was in Amsterdam and I did not have my rain stick with me And you were pointing it at Colorado, but as always... It's the backscatter. It's the butt of this thing! I just put it straight up in the air Well then the radials must have been somehow bouncing off the ionosphere? It has rained here for five days almost non-stop You haven't been there for five days how would you know? What do you mean we came back on Monday Okay four days But it was raining on Sunday How would I know?! I know people here

03:30 I thought you didn't get out much. And if you recall last year in July, it was July 4th weekend we had a very similar scenario where we had just a storm front just hovering over all of the hill country and it wound up killing a couple hundred people kids in holiday camps so that may not be as bad, well for a couple of reasons. One the alert system is just going off non-stop now three times in the middle of the night and for some reason on the iPhone you can't...well you can turn it off and say don't give me alerts but that's kind of like the whole point is if there's something

04:16 You know some dire situation you kind of want to be alerted to it, but I think they're overdoing it now Which is bad because they didn't do it as much last year. Yeah like crying wolf a little bit Well, I got two earthquake alerts over the last couple weeks. Yeah? There was no earthquake in either case there was no earthquake and there wasn't none around it wasn't an earthquake anywhere in the vicinity and one of them was ducking cover and the other one was find something to hold on too! No really?! Yeah, stand in a doorway Anyway it's it is bad here. They're talking about a 35-foot wall of water coming down the Guadalupe River This is not good Kerrville which is about 25 minutes down the road Stores and restaurants are flooding its First of all let's let's get one thing so everyone out there knows this what is your elevation?

05:17 Well, my elevation here is almost 1400 feet. 1400 feet? You're almost on a mountain! Pretty much... So people don't have to worry about you People like John C. Dvorak and Mimi Dvorak who called me yesterday Mimi insisted I knew you were at elevation I'm in the car driving back from a meeting And, you know this one thing I don't want to see the day before a show day is JCD real cell phone pop up on my dashboard. So the only...I can only think of couple things like he's in the hospital. He's in the hospital? This isn't oh no! He's in a car wreck. No I thought hospitals Somebody shot him Now I'm gonna have deal with that Like what are we going do now

06:09 And then it's you and Mimi on the speakerphone. Hey! Are ya wet yet? And Mimi, she is a Max Velocity storm chaser groupie of epic proportion. Yeah, it's really bad news that if you don't go to the east, you're gonna drown as there are storm chasers in Fredericksburg. Yeah okay... She really loves that stuff. She is a weather junky Yeah, so I had to make the call. And you were telling her like he's at elevation there is no problem she wouldn't believe it? So... I'm just putting that out there so other people don't ever start to think that oh my! Well it usually takes a couple days and then get people from Holland are you okay?

07:04 You know, because you can see how the news kind of trickles through. You need to have some dead people and some horrible pictures and a single baby shoe floating by then people are like oh wait a minute isn't that where Adam lives? And I love it's appreciated it. I like that people care when they want to check in on me but yeah we're pretty safe here although there was a tornado just 30 minutes down the road That doesn't happen very often Certainly not in the Hill Country. Onboard!

07:39 Yes, onward with the top news item. I don't care what you say. Breaking at this hour... Right now officials can't pinpoint the exact source or sources of this outbreak It's a food or waterborne disease caused by a parasite Cyclospora and pinpointing precisely where it is coming from is a challenge Michigan is bearing the brunt with more than 2600 reported cases including 44 that have landed people in hospital Joining us to explain what all this means and how to stay healthy is Dr. Omer Awan, he's at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Awan thank you so much for being here! To start off with if I were to ingest this parasite how do i know that I've got it? What are the symptoms people should look out for

08:30 Well, the typical symptoms William are things like nausea fatigue bloating and of course explosive watery diarrhea. And that's the symptom that has been getting a lot of attention because this is really different because most stomach bugs usually the watery diarrhea lasts about two or three days with their cases of cyclosporiasis The diarrhoea can last weeks if not months and that's what makes it so problematic This is what kind of crazy this month business And apparently you can get it a week before the symptoms appear. Tonight, 34 states grappling with Cyclospora, the parasite that can be found on fresh produce making Americans sick

09:13 Michigan zeroing in on lettuce. Its top doc says there is a clear preliminary signal pointing to the leafy greens Why do you suspect lettuce? We've interviewed about 1,000 out of the 3,000 cases we have so far Lettuce seems to be an ongoing exposure for those who've been impacted Federal officials say Michigan is one of four Midwestern states where the cases could be linked Taco Bell today confirming it removed limited ingredients at select restaurants while authorities continue their broader review, noting public health officials have not confirmed a link to Taco Bell.

09:48 The Washington Post reports federal and state health officials are investigating the chain, citing two individuals familiar with the probe. CDC did not comment. Michigan's Dr. Bagdasarian... So there was no location that came up in a hundred percent of cases but there certainly were restaurants and fast food chains that did come up. Including Taco Bell? You know, I'm not going to comment on those specifics right now. Nationwide the CDC says it's confirmed 1645 cases of cyclosporiasis and is aware of 5100 more. Christina Serafina says she ate fresh fruits and vegetables hiking last month and got sick for weeks. Just really strong gas and bloating pains

10:33 And on top of that, you're not eating. So you're hungry and you're having hunger pains also." I gotta tell ya, I got boots on the ground from people that I had to redact. Unlike members of our producing audience being Patriot Front members — which one is by the way for later — a lot of people have this bug A friend of Sir Beavenour, producer for 16 or 17 years. Yes I had it three nights ago contracted it one of the beachside resorts at Myrtle Beach only lasted one night the next day was pretty much gone see? I don't think that he had it two of my... No now if you're gonna have it for a month this is more like you know one of the quick bug whatever its called Well here's please redact my name if read on air from one of our nights

11:29 Because if word got back to my wife that I was sharing this, I'd probably be a knight experiencing homelessness. My wife... listen to this! My wife seems have come down with the explosive diarrhea or as i read in an article ferocious diarrhea. That's even better when first looking it up. She's actually got it pretty bad and for about a week she could barely function away from the toilet after about a week and half, she decided to go to the urgent care to see if there is anything they can do this center home with a test sample kit plastic bowl in other cups Oh why? To retrieve said sample And that should give you... They should put you in

12:08 bed and give you fluids intravenously, and then maybe send you home. Asked her to bring the sample back to the lab she did a day later was told that she had tested positive so this test PCR I'm sure But there's also nothing that can be given to you to get rid of it. You just have to fight it out." So what is the point of the test? Exactly, she was told some people can get over in days and she now on about three weeks. Fortunately has become less explosive! Yeah, I would think so. So last night... Balls have got to get tired at some point. I woke up at like 1 30 and I felt really bad and I did not have just but not to be too graphic I did not have explosive diarrhea But it wasn't good and I'm thinking oh man what am i gonna do this? This is horrible! I feel miserable And I actually

13:07 Stop tape. What do you mean stop tape? Why no, I'm just during the show You can do it if you stop table understand No and I'll be right back Well and here's the point so I like oh man what can I take you know I just feel miserable And I took two tablespoons of the Manuka gold honey and Slept like a baby woke up perfectly fine. I don't know if it's related, but That's all I could think of like what can I do? It was just the plain honey Yeah, you want to honey with all the stuff in it that be well honey the B Well, honey yeah, ee well that has because apparently cumin or Q cumin is that q cumin is that the molecule of cumin human Oh curcumin

14:00 Is that different? Is it different from cumin? Yeah. What is curcumin? It's more like pepper. Oh... Because I think that's in the Be Well Honey. They got a lot of stuff mixed in there That is supposed to neutralize this bug, but let's just think about this Now we're being quacks on the show This is not medical advice We're not advising you on anything medical But I'm thinking about this Do you know that more people die from diarrhea globally than anything else? Yeah, and mostly in India. Yes! Just poop their brains out and then they die. People go to India and they have a something...I don't know if they don't have the right curry or whatever And next thing you know they're dead It's really bad By a long shot The amount of people globally who die from diarrhea is much more than certainly more that gunshot wounds

14:56 Well, could this... I'm just throwing it out there. Because of the nature of this thing could this possibly be a gain-of-function bioweapon? Oh! Come on! That hasn't come up in the conversation yet No but they don't really know how you get it is I know they keep talking and blame lettuce for everything well lettuce and taco There's a lettuce hating component of society. It doesn't like the salad eaters of California." But there's also some warfare going on amongst the fast food guys because Taco Bell is in the crosshairs. Tonight, Taco Bell saying they have voluntarily removed some ingredients at select locations as the food-borne parasite Cyclosporiasis rapidly spreads across the U.S..

15:45 The company stating public health officials have not confirmed a link to Taco Bell or any specific ingredients supplier, restaurant or retailer. Adding they will closely monitor the situation state health officials say there have been more than 600 new cases of cyclus pariasis in Michigan alone since yesterday Health officials now pointing to lettuce as a possible source of the outbreak in that state We're continuing our trace back investigation on multiple produce items including the lettuce The CDC confirming cases in 34 states. Today, warning that cases in Michigan West Virginia Kentucky and Ohio seem to have a similar source the parasite spread through contaminated food or water can cause severe digestive issues including diarrhea symptoms usually begin about one week after becoming infected

16:34 It was really bad. There were moments where I was literally just camped out in the bathroom and like, I don't care i'm just gonna lay on this floor David the CDC is telling doctors to stay alert health officials say thoroughly washing your fruits and vegetables even if they're labeled pre-washed Is an important step in preventing illness David. Good advice, sounds awful. Stephanie Ramos tonight thanks to her. Good advice sounds awful thanks a lot Steph. Let's get my I have an NTD clip about the same thing you should probably play it. Okay let me see... It's under cytos-shitosis The FDA is working to identify the source of a large multi state outbreak of a foodborne illness it's now investigating multiple produce items

17:16 Health officials say more than 1,600 confirmed cases of cyclosporitis have been reported across 34 states since May. There have been no deaths reported from the outbreak but more than 140 people have been hospitalized The CDC says more than 5,000 additional suspected cases are still under investigation. Symptoms usually start two days to two weeks after infection. Primary symptom is diarrhea other symptoms can include loss of appetite cramping and fatigue The CDC is urging doctors to specifically test patients with prolonged gastrointestinal illness. Officials say the outbreak may involve multiple clusters, with evidence pointing to a common source in Michigan Ohio Kentucky and West Virginia Investigators have not identified a specific contaminated food although lettuce and salad greens are the main suspects How about this? What if it's contaminated GLP-1

18:14 Everybody's on that stuff. Gastro? Oh, well they had this interesting idea... Here is a question I have since they have this test that somebody would yell when I went in and I had to take the test Why don't they just grab a bunch of food and start testing it Well this is why I'm bringing it up Because they're not, it doesn't seem like anyone is coming up with any normal solutions in their kind of... With 5,000 cases you'd think you'll be able to. When you do tracing and say where did you go? Where did you eat? Where did you go over here? Where would you eat here or there? But then there's this very odd oh it doesn't kick in until after a week since when is that a thing I'm telling you something else is going on here. I like my gain-of-function angle but I think

19:06 I'm looking more at, it's got a GLP-1. Just one batch being contaminated or something... Could be anything where it seems to me that they should have normally they would have isolated the cause by now? Whenever whenever its what is the other foodborne illness They always trace it back to some tomato at some supermarket. Or listeria? Listeria, yeah. The listeria they got no problem. Boom! There it is. But this one we don't know. Lettuce maybe... Yeah maybe lettuce could be Taco Bell. Not even close. You know I'm looking at lettuce in the supermarket like you know I think I'll just have my salad with cucumber. I don't want any lettuce right now. We don't frequent Taco Bell

20:03 But I just something is wrong with the bells got overpriced. Something is wrong with this story while we're checking in on Disease might as well get a little Ebola update. What's your reaction when you hear the CDC warning about how quickly this is spreading? The pace of the spread, Diane is really concerning here the trajectory shows exceptional rapid growth right now This Ebola outbreak has already half the size of the outbreak that we saw in 2018 That was the second largest outbreak recorded in history and that took two years to combat Right now We're only 2 months into this current outbreak and as James was stating This is the Bundy-Bujo strain. This strain does not have a targeted vaccine or targeted therapy, but the main concern here is in contact tracing. The World Health Organization is estimating that these estimates are likely an underestimate as tens of thousands of people still need to be traced back." Do people do people in the US or other countries need to be worried about this? Our concern here and our risk excuse me our risk here in the United States is relatively low. Wow! Low

21:04 I did get a text message from Homeland Security. Because you know... What? Well, because we're global entry members and if you've traveled to Uganda, you better like come and see us immediately! Oh so on the way back traveling back from in the new security state that is the European Union Yes, we need our travel story It's a minor travel story So, when you leave Schiphol Airport first you check in and show your passport. Then you go to the exit, the customs and border patrol exit for The Netherlands because we don't have that in America but in the EU when you leave they check you

21:53 And it's all automated. Bure pictures are already in their system, so you all wait in little lines and then you get up to the booth and the little doors open and then you get into the booth and then the doors close... ...and then you have to put your passport on the little shelf and it eats your passport. Then it says, hold still! And then camera goes up and down gets you right in the eye, the lights go on and then a clock Like a spinning wheel of death appears, like please wait. Please wait and so Tina went through no problem I go in there... And the guy comes over he says do it again okay put it in

22:34 And, uh, red lights flashing. And they're over there looking at some terminal and they come in and say well you have to go over that line You know the line with a thousand people? You gotta go through that line for a manual exit check because we have two traveler profiles of you So what does that mean Well, we just got new software Uh-huh. So he just got new software and there's two traveler profiles, I don't even know what that means but there are two traveler profiles and we don't know... The system doesn't know which one to choose so you gotta go talk to those guys. So I go in that line takes about 15 extra minutes and then I say here is my passport and they send me over from the machine because I have a two traveler profiles and this guy says no! I only see one you're good to go

23:28 It's like, what is that? It was like yeah we got a new software and you know so this is troubling. it's already breaking down Unbelievable But something interesting did happen This is one of these so-called silent airports So the whole thing is automated when you What does that mean I'm going to tell you They have signs and lights You know, like speakers everywhere. You know going... Please follow the red's footsteps! Move to the left! Go over there! Wait! Stop! Slave shut up it's not your turn wait go go carousel sex So they don't have that instead they have signage

24:20 And so you... Signage that yells at ya. Well, and here's the interesting part So you go through the security line and then there is a stop point and they have these carousels and then the carousels go round and round Then one is free it's like a little slot and you cozy up to this open slot in the carousel A bin pops out underneath You pull that out put on top Put your bag on and then you go towards the body scanner And so this sign is saying, wait. It's just silence, wait and then it'll go arrow and tell you what number to go to like sheep. I'm in this line, I keep hearing something What am i hearing? And I thought my glasses were hitting my hearing aids... ...and then as I get closer to the sign, I hear it says Wait! Wait! Number 6 Go now! Wait! Stop! It was coming through my hearing aid

25:19 So they have this LE Bluetooth, low energy Bluetooth that is breaking into my hearing aids to tell me where to go. And apparently it works on AirPods and all kinds of other Bluetooth devices. It's for blind people? Yeah! Well blind people with hearing aids I guess... It was pretty interesting. I didn't know you could just break into someone's LE Bluetooth low-energy and then just talk to them Yeah, it's overriding. You can do that with RF. So you can do that to AirPods as well?

25:57 I think so. Cool! It's just like a broad spectrum signal, it blows everything away Okay well this is cool So it's just the same as the jammer would do Right but its really interesting experience because you know someone talking in your head and you're like what is going on? What da what?! So it will be cool to drive down the street have a little antenna sticking out of the car and just go... Hey You! Hey, yeah I'm talking to you. Turn around! And if they have the earbuds in... You see a big linear amp in the trunk and you can just blow through everything? Yeah heater. I want one of these this that's a cool little device to have hey hottie whatcha doing

26:44 Watch out for the perp. There was a period during the CB radio fad, which I'd call it what it is back in the day and these guys would have these... And it was notorious. These guys would have these linear amps. Yeah, heaters we called them heaters. And they would blow and so I was driving past one once with just listening to FM radio and it went right into my radio. Oh yeah of course, of course right away Yeah, so you could easily do what you're describing. Well if anyone knows... It'd be annoying and it's illegal but it would be fun I'm sure I can get something off of Timu

27:26 Yeah, you probably could. No doubt this is bought a couple of okay so they got this new technology I don't know what it's called it's got some stupid name I should bring these I gotta bring these in there we'll talk about them I bought two there too there are a type or a new type of walkie-talkie that long range and bowel fang makes him uh-huh oh with the 10 water the illegal ten water is that maybe yeah could be I don't know But you get two of them and you can get four, I mean six of them on Timbu. And it's like they're like 12 bucks for two of them. It looks like a... Wow! How is that? I betcha that'll broadcast to any Bluetooth just as long as your stick. I'm sure its really really well tuned. Oh man. Well its Baofeng so it's not like junk Those guys are the best

28:21 I mean, whatever it is. But it's so cheap! It's like oh yeah we'll be competing with these guys sometime soon. No. Uh-huh. I carry a Baofeng in my luggage all the time just wherever I go and the battery...I haven't recharged it in five years Same thing. I have a Baofeng that I drag around And it just never, the batteries never die. How does that work? What kind of magic do these guys have you just turn on full bars there's the battery we're good to go is crazy has no idea crazy hey so if yesterday I was driving around like why are all the flags at half staff I couldn't

29:04 I couldn't figure it out. Like why are the flags at Haggis Half Staff? It's because of Lindsey Graham! Yeah?! I didn't know that, I didn't know there was a general order for half staff or half mass... I don't know if there was an order, people were just doing it Well we have some new information about Lady G's untimely death and this little update here. Tonight, new video showing more than a dozen FBI agents fanning out across the Washington home of the late Senator Lindsey Graham The FBI shutting down the street as investigators spent several hours on scene taking photos and searching the property Two law enforcement sources familiar with the scene tell NBC News their work is out of abundance of caution So far no evidence has emerged to suggest foul play

29:52 A preliminary medical examiner's report revealed Graham suffered from a tear in the main artery of his heart, but they are still waiting on a toxicology test before declaring it cause of death. Wow! That isn't very typical I don't think? Like send the feds in FBI to go check it out and make... Oh there was a bunch of no there wasn't what the part you missed was there was a bunch of insistence on the part of various legislators and others at the autopsy. He goes, oh you know he just came back from Ukraine something suspicious could have happened Oh you're talking about the Chinese something suspicious could happen. Oh he hates the Russians something suspicious could happen So they got all bent out everyone got... You know it's amazing adult persons above average intelligence

30:45 will text my wife, hey what does Adam know about Lindsey Graham? It's really too coincidental that he just came back from Ukraine. And of course you know there is a story that he was visiting a drone plant in Ukraine and the Russians took it out and all I can say is why would you cover that up? Why would that have to be kept secret I mean, and especially the news. It's a great it's a better story than Aortic Rupture. Yeah hey Lindsey Graham was blown up in a drone... Have we lost the ability to think a little more simplistically? And just okay do you know what i mean? You know what I mean? Yeah Occam's razor is dead. Yeah Occam's razor is indeed dead and there's also that's a good one

31:39 The world isn't quite as complicated as people think it is. At some point the world just became like, everything's just crazy you know there are elites everywhere we're just killing everybody. There is a degree of truth to some of it but if you just think logically why? Why would anyone do... It's like the Charlie Kirk thing! It's the same thing Well, so-and-so killed him. The Deep State killed him. Israel killed them. J.D. Vance killed them. Everyone killed everybody." I'm like why didn't they just kill him? Why did they have to go through this elaborate ruse and then get a patsy and his family to cooperate? It's like at what point is... A patsy! At what point does this just not make any sense?!

32:33 It's right away. It doesn't make any sense, you know? It's just like come on it's a that's actually funny where is my I had a couple of clips about this You know JD Vance was on Rogan yeah, I saw clip of it Yeah what clip did you see? I don't know. It wasn't that interesting I agree it wasn't it wasn't super interesting. Hmm here it is. Let me see Where's Vance? And those two guys, I don't know. Do you think...I didn't see enough of it. I only saw clips that I didn't see the show actually watch the show. I wonder if those did they don't seem like they have personalities that would jive. Who Joe and JD Vance? Yeah This is very interesting. Why can't I find this

31:39 The world isn't quite as complicated as people think it is. At some point the world just became like, everything's just crazy you know there are elites everywhere we're just killing everybody. There is a degree of truth to some of it but if you just think logically why? Why would anyone do... It's like the Charlie Kirk thing! It's the same thing Well, so-and-so killed him. The Deep State killed him. Israel killed them. J.D. Vance killed them. Everyone killed everybody." I'm like why didn't they just kill him? Why did they have to go through this elaborate ruse and then get a patsy and his family to cooperate? It's like at what point is... A patsy! At what point does this just not make any sense?!

32:33 It's right away. It doesn't make any sense, you know? It's just like come on it's a that's actually funny where is my I had a couple of clips about this You know JD Vance was on Rogan yeah, I saw clip of it Yeah what clip did you see? I don't know. It wasn't that interesting I agree it wasn't it wasn't super interesting. Hmm here it is. Let me see Where's Vance? And those two guys, I don't know. Do you think...I didn't see enough of it. I only saw clips that I didn't see the show actually watch the show. I wonder if those did they don't seem like they have personalities that would jive. Who Joe and JD Vance? Yeah This is very interesting. Why can't I find this

33:37 Well, he... at a certain point I'm now kind of mad about this. I had these two JD Vance clips all spec'd out. Yeah and it sucks but he was talking about propaganda and you know he's kinda jumping on the Israel is doing stuff bandwagon was interesting let's see What is this? Libya basically turned into a failed state. You had a refugee crisis, you had people pouring into Europe, pouring into other parts of Asia and other parts of Africa... Now that's about Libya! Here he is! This is the one I don't even mind an effort to try to influence... Foreign governments try to influence the United States all the time Israel does it, other countries do it It's just sort of nature of the beast What bothers me Is actually when Americans allow meaning American leadership

34:30 allows that influence to affect their judgment and to affect what they are advocating for. That's what really bothers me people were always going to try to influence the United States of America whether they're allies of ours or enemies of ours but Again, when I open up the pages of Time Magazine and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing. And oh by the way many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways you know my response to that is well go to hell! I'm gonna do what i have to do for the American people. I represent Americans first." Yeah he was referring to some kind of Israeli campaign in that which I thought was interesting

35:15 And this whole preliminary hearing with, you know for... what's the kid's name? Ryan. Who said he killed Charlie Kirk Oh yeah that guy Yeah It's like how can that not stop everybody from the exploding microphone nonsense That's not the defense is not using this the defense. It was a shape charge man The defense is not saying we'd like to show you exhibit A with the Egyptian military aircraft that were circling around and You know there's none of that and And I think the tide is turning

36:06 Boy, you're an optimist today. Yeah! Some international travel always kind of screws you up. Something I've observed... Oh, I think the tide is turning but then again I get what's going on here. Good for you Well, it's so weird because for at least 15 years you know I was all in on all this stuff and it's just all bullshit. All of it! We noticed that part right? Yeah we got that part right... But you were the one always setting me straight and now like you know ladies and gentlemen most of this stuff is just BS

36:45 It doesn't make it quite as... The show is built on a lie! It doesn't make it very exciting, you know. And that's to our detriment but if you just want to get spun down a little bit and talk some sense I think we're the place for ya now We've always been the place Let's play a couple of offbeat clips then. Why? You're always like, off beat screwball... Well this is not that off-beat! This is the hearing for Todd Blanche. Oh yes well there were a couple of... Trying to get his worm his way into the job that he should get There were a couple of good hearings on The Hill

37:28 Yeah, there was quite a few actually. In fact right now Congress is in session They had a fraud hearing the Democrats refused to show up to it. I thought that was worthwhile Why would you do that? Nick surely's there forget it we're not coming so Play this, this is my favorite clip. This would be my favorite clip for the day actually. Okay. This is Todd Blanche having to deal with White House idiot from Rhode Island on C-SPAN Let me ask about the FBI. How long do you intend to put up with that Kash Patel character? Are you good with his airplane jaunts, are you confident he's not drinking on the job? Are you sure none of this travel is a pretext for vacation activities like snorkeling Olympics and visiting girlfriends? Are you sure he knows what he's doing? Do you vouch for him or are you willing to look at whether he lied to this committee

38:23 That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question, Senator. And I have full faith in Director Patel and the work that he is doing every day Great! You got to own that! What is this chasing his girlfriend around with a government plane? I didn't hear this one. I heard it either He just making it up I like the guzzling beer The guzzling beer This guy is just the biggest dick in Congress. And here he continues, this is as it goes on... He reads Blanche's The Riot Act and then wraps with it. Doesn't even ask him a question he just goes off. One last thing if I may? You have refused to exclude January 6th rioters from your anti-weaponization fund

39:15 You have refused to put in writing that the slush fund is dead. Indeed, you signaled to allies that payouts are still on track. You vacated seditious conspiracy convictions against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. You hired January 6th rider Jared Wise who had urged the mob to kill police officers. You scrubbed press releases about January 6th prosecutions and called the releases partisan propaganda. You denied that Trump encouraged any any violence on January 6th. You've cleaned house of every attorney who worked on a case related to Trump and you bragged that bringing justice for violent rioters meant that everyone one of them was either pardoned or had their sentence commuted

39:59 I hope that our colleagues who are concerned about what happened in January 6 take that into account. Thank you Would you like to respond? I would almost everything the senator just said and he's protected He's allowed a lie, but almost everything he just said was absolutely false Okay starting with the fact that I have never I have never said that any sort of violence against law enforcement is appropriate. I've never said that publicly, I have never said that in a speech and I certainly do not believe it. I did not hire the person referenced and so again something just happens to be true when i talk about what happened with the January convicted January 6th defendants I talked about what President Trump did he has the absolute right

40:47 to pardon anybody for any reason he sees fit. And every one of them got pardoned or commuted, I am not celebrating that it is a fact and the fact that my department had to take action in response to those pardons by dismissing some cases is exactly what I have to do under the law and its what I did so that narrative that the senator just suggested and put on me as something I believe is absolutely no true. Outrage! Outrage I tell you But he Blanche did screw up in this and the news media pounced on this. Oh We got you now blanchie I met him at the moment tonight with maybe the most staying power at today's confirmation hearing for Todd Blanche Coming during friendly questioning about his relationship with the president. I'm his lawyer was his lawyer whoops

41:37 And now I'm the Deputy Attorney General. Oh no! He said the quiet part out loud! President... I was his lawyer and now I am the Deputy Attorney General. An apparent slip of the tongue since Blanche is no longer the president's personal lawyer, likely adding to Democrats' concerns that Blanche if confirmed as attorney general would do President Trumps bidding to go after political rivals Who you are if someone willing to sacrifice everything he once believed in for that title. Blanche spent some 15 years at the DOJ before moving to private practice, representing then candidate Trump in his 2024 hush money trial in New York now as acting AG touting progress we have the lowest murder rate since 1900 but facing pointed questions about why he signed off on a controversial settlement after President Trump sued the IRS

42:29 the DOJ initially agreeing to an extraordinary $1.8 billion so-called anti weaponization fund. The settlement funds just not moving forward since scuttled in the face of intense opposition, including from Republicans like Senator John Cornyn who remains undecided. I'm not going to make a decision until I have to So just a reminder from your No Agenda show, we've done this before. This is nothing new with presidents putting their personal attorney or legal confidant at the top of the DOJ. John Kennedy put his brother! That's right he had Robert. George Washington had Edmund Randolph as private attorney. Harding had Harry Dougherty as personal attorney and campaign manager Nixon had John Mitchell

43:18 his own law firm partner, Reagan had William French Smith and Edward Meese both personal attorney and legal advisor. And George W Bush had Alberto Gonzales this is nothing new no it's not only new but John Yoo that guy at Berkeley professor of law who was also the guy who penned the torture note Who's quite good as an analyst, he shows up on Fox quite a bit. He says it's common and it should be expected Yeah But the news media does not do what I just did It's so easy Anyway there was another hearing There were some good hearings Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh Was interrogated by Al Green

44:10 Now Al Green, this is so good. So Al Green... Al Green is a moron! Who's gonna be out next year after November because he lost his primary Yeah, he is but he starts off you know He tries to pull the old churchy card Sure recognizes the gentleman from Houston Texas Mr. Green who is a ranking member of our subcommittee on oversight and investigations over here mr. Chairman thank you Mr. Chairman, I thank the ranking member as well and welcome you to the committee Mr. Chairman but i would also say to you that i will pray for you. Okay, insincere. And i'll pray for you because many of the questions that have been predicated today hinge upon a belief that you will sanction the president's desires it is thought

45:08 among the general public that you're in the position you're in because the president could not have the influence that he wanted to have with the prior chair and he believes he can have it with you. So I hope that you will stand firm and honor your commitments that you are making Though some of them are not firm commitments as I understood your language. So this whole hearing was all about will you stand up to him? Will you do what is right for the banks? Will you do what is right for everybody except the American people and stand up to the president when he criticizes you, an man? I'm so happy that Al Green isn't will no longer be representing any part of Texas. This guy

45:54 truly is an idiot. And I think they gave these questions to him to make him look even stupider. You indicated that you're interested in war, I appreciate this but i believe you should also be interested in speculative bubbles. Speculative bubbles? So they gave them the bubbles questions! My assumption is that are you interested in bubbles, speculative bubbles? I love speculative bubbles! I like me some bubbles! You like your bubbles? I like bubbles. We've got a wide lens. We spend a lot of time thinking about what's happening... I'm going to take that as a yes

46:33 Now, given that this old like yes or no question I'll take that as a yes. This is so boring and tedious you people You're interested in speculative bubbles let's just talk about a bubble that occurred No what kind of bubble occurred? What kinda bubble could you think of That they gave to Al Green Not the sharpest crayon in Le Box What kinda bubble jus- Well the only bubble out there right now Is the AI Bubble So it'd have to be that NOOOOOO! NO! President Trump's meme coin, dollar sign Trump. Meme coin? Dollar sign Trump! His meme coin profited an average of 1.74 million dollars per day over his first year Can't believe I missed that boat... 1.74 million dollars a day

47:21 This amounted to approximately $636 million in total royalties and licensing fees generated at its launch. While this was happening, during that same period of time nearly 1 million investors lost a combined 3.8 billion dollars. This is because that meme coin lost value. Dropped precipitously in value. It was a bubble. By the way, it is nothing. Anybody who's listening to me if you've invested in a meme coin you've invested in nothing zero. Zero? Okay so... Hold on a second does he know that the chairman of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy has got nothing to do with meme coins?! But he's gonna come back to... He's using that

48:18 This is why it's so funny. He's using that term speculative bubble to show that whenever the president wants something, it only behooves the president personally and screws everybody else out of money and then here comes the crux this is really one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time. I think we should concern ourselves with these speculative bubbles And whether you like it or not, you have to concern yourself with it because when you lower interest rates You lower the rates such that there's more capital available for people to use, for speculative reasons. Okay let's just hold here for a second so this numbnut is going to tell us that we should have higher interest rates because otherwise will get speculative bubbles There's no other benefit you can think of from lower interest rates other than it's gonna benefit people to create speculative bubbles even though as you pointed out

49:19 The AI bubble has done just fine with interest rates at 5%. So you have to be concerned about it whether you want to or not because you don't want to see a speculative bubble. Can I have your assurance that you will be concerned about these speculative bubbles, Mr Chairman? So, Congressman we want a resilient strong safe financial system and we are looking at financial markets and the real economy to make sure that we deliver on what we can. Some of these other subjects are really more in your purview and responsibility than mine. They're in my purview but only because I choose them and I have to vote on them but they're in your purview too

50:05 Because you decide whether the race go up or down and if you lower them then people can engage in these speculative bubbles. Oh man! Such as the Trump meme coin, and they can lose a lot of money. Oh brother... Can you imagine having to sit through that? I mean that represents people. Well this reminds me of the other character that's in Congress who thinks islands can flip over. The Maldives will tip over from climate change, yeah

50:41 No, from population. Too many people on one side of the island And then there was this... I think this was Elizabeth Warren Hank Johnson is that guy So here they're really it's all just about will you be independent Do you work for Donald Trump? Yes or no Who is this Sounds like her robo. No, it's not a rona if I'm permitted to say we're an independent central bank We're honored to be independent our independence came from you okay? That's enough Thank you What that's enough don't answer the questions with truth yeah It was the Federal Reserve bill of 1913 X would you take if the president or others in the administration Target you are your fellow governors because he doesn't be alike

51:30 how many of them are voting on interest rate policy. Yeah, she's Spanish whoever she is... She's from Costa Rica? Where is she from I don't know her! I don't know, it's not in my notes for some reason. I have not heard that voice before No It's not my intuition to engage in hypotheticals but I'll tell you this The Supreme Court said That is an easy way out The Supreme Court said that the Federal Reserve and the conduct of monetary policy is independent To extent there were questions about it, the courts answered those questions So what would you do? I would continue to do my job.

52:24 My commitment to you is to follow the law and follow the data. Follow our very best judgment. If you decide this is where it goes, this is where the data shades and he publicly criticizes you and tells how disappointed he's in you and all of that... All of that! If he shames you in public will still do your job? What the data tells you to do I will congressman You ready for that I'm ready to follow the law and i'm ready for the Fed to deliver on The expansive remit that you gave us. It's just like this is so embarrassing it's just embarrassing that these people are in Congress even

53:07 Well, luckily the left side of the party's gonna wipe them all out shortly. That'll be good Yeah... you mean the DSA-ers? Yeah. Yeah. Warren was in fine form too She kept yammering about some secret meeting Did you know about the secret meeting? Do you know about a secret meeting? What's she talking about? Can you just answer the question about the vice chair and her secret meeting. Sure I'm happy to, to the extent that can... They had some secret meeting about something where something got leaked or... How would you know about if it was a secret? That's what he is saying! Share it with you

53:44 The vice chair has been an excellent colleague in my first seven weeks. I'm aware of the letter you sent to the inspector general out of enormous respect for him, his investigation what he chooses to do with it and i am going leave to him without trying to micromanage that. And I'd be interested in the judgments that he comes too So you will support his investigation? Have you made your own investigation? Did you ask her if she spoke at a secret meeting during the blackout period I agree with the suggestion. Elizabeth Warren is a tool, she's just annoying Then we had the nominee for the Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton who i believe is highly qualified he has been in this business for 20 plus years

54:36 And he has been nominated to step in once the bull in the china shop is done, Bill Pulte. Yeah! And again it's just these questions like here... It was so embarrassing that this is what our government is doing on a day-to-day basis I believe he had the most electoral votes So he won the election. He followed our process, had the most electoral votes was declared the winner Who won the 2020 election? You know what I'm not gonna do this with you Who won the 2020 election? We can keep doing this we've tried umpteen different ways to give to the ability to just acknowledge that Joe Biden was the president It's fairly intolerable I have acknowledged Senator that Joe Biden was the President

55:27 As you see, he would not answer. At least not directly and the Georgia Democrat John Ossoff who you saw a bit of there... He just did! No they want him to say And this is with Director of National Intelligence I don't see what it has to do with who won the election but they want specifically... I don't see either They wanted specifically to say Biden won the election and he says well you know we got the most electoral votes Give it at that You refuse to answer a basic question about who won the presidential election? No, I... But you asked to lead America's intelligence community. What does that have to do with anything?! Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? It is humiliating to sit there and have to listen to these questions! To have to indulge the president's delusions

56:19 We know, you know everybody in this room knows the truthful answer to that question. Why can you not give it? I think i gave you the answer So then they bring on Senator Mark Kelly and Will he stand up to the president when the president needs to hear tough intelligence or when there's a debate or dispute with the president about key facts in maybe a sensitive national security situation? Did Jay Clayton give you confidence today that he will be that man if he is confirmed for this job.

57:12 No, absolutely not. And it was... John it was rather disappointing. This morning? I mean the entire hearing. Yeah. I didn't hear anything that gives me any kind of reassurance that this guy is going to do the job the way the American people deserve. This is a critical position and the American peoples' safety is on the line here he's gonna direct 18 intelligence agencies and what we're trying to get at here is if you can't in that room-I mean the president down the street at Pennsylvania Avenue. I mean, he's not looking right at him what is he going to do when he sitting in the Oval Office or the Situation Room and the President disagrees with him but he has studied the intelligence and this is a critical national security issue and the safety of American people are risked Is he gonna tell the president that it's wrong? And I don't see any evidence that he would do that so I was incredibly disappointed today. Just so disappointing

58:08 And then the big controversy is the search for the leaker about Air Force One. I think you and I might disagree on some of these issues with journalists, this is This is a setup of it. Exclusive CNN reporting tonight on the investigation into leaks about security shortcomings of the new Air Force One Last week, you'll remember The president flew the old plane instead of the new one when he left the NATO summit The White House claims it was so that US service members could tour the new one The New York Times said it was because the Qatari gifted plane lacked key defense systems And the President was incensed by that reporting

58:50 Now we've learned some government officials have been asked to turn over their phones at the White House as part of a leak probe. CNN's Evan Perez joins us now with more. Evan, what more have you learned about this White House probe? Yeah there was an extraordinary scene at the White House last Friday where Kash Patel, uh, the FBI director and Susie Wileson, the chief of staff essentially helped orchestrate what was hours-long numbers of people from the White House, people who may have known about the president's trip were brought in. Their devices were taken from them in some cases and they were being questioned by FBI agents because of this leak hunt. The FBI is trying to figure out who in government could've possibly leaked this information to the media

59:31 and the president, as you pointed out John is very obsessed with this. And that again took place at the White House we have a statement from the White House about this unusual scene they said leaks that jeopardize safety of the President his staff and traveling press pool are dangerous and threat to national security These leaks seriously and we do everything legally to ensure the individual or individuals are caught and it does not happen again That's of course from the White House this evening So, you know I've been thinking about this in the not disclosing your sources. I Don't think that is actually protected under the First Amendment

1:00:15 The First Amendment gives the press the freedom to print whatever they want. It doesn't give them the freedom not do their civic duty for national security, etc. I think there was actually some Supreme Court cases that overruled this and you know...I don't know if it's protected under the First Amendment? Do you disagree? No, it probably isn't. Yeah okay I never thought it was It's just a gentleman's agreement look you're gonna tell me something? I'm going to protect ya right there was make me talk There was the Bansberg v. What protected is you can testify against yourself right? Bansberg versus Hayes in 1972 five-to-four Supreme Court decision where

1:01:09 The, this was the court consolidated three different cases of reporters who had investigated drug synthesis and the Black Panther Party. When called before grand juries the reporters refused to name their anonymous sources arguing that doing so would dry up their news gathering pipelines and destroy here comes press freedom which is not the text it's freedom of the press And the court ruled the public's interest in prosecuting and deterring crime via the grand jury system outweighs the incidental burden placed on the press. But they just keep on going about free press, man! It's free press! Joining us now to discuss this is Will Creely he is the legal director for FIRE.org The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression Will thank you for joining NewsHour it's an honor thank you for having me

1:01:59 What does the law say about what protections journalists have in this case? Well, the law has been clear for a long time that somebody else's illegal conduct does not remove speech about a matter of public concern like the president's new jet from First Amendment protection. There is no federal shield law but the heart of the First Amendment does indeed protect this kind of activity. What we're seeing here should be a last resort subpoenaing reporters is a shot across the bow designed to get people to stop asking questions about subjects, the administration would rather not talk about and it's chilling. In this case, the subpoenas were issued to these five New York Times reporters and some were served at their homes. Is that unusual? And why do you think it was done in that way in your opinion?

1:02:46 It is unusual and it's theatrical. It's designed to send a very clear message, stop asking questions sit down and shut up I'm awfully tired of federal law enforcement agents showing up on people's doorsteps about protected speech And unfortunately this is just the latest in a pattern This administration has evinced a real hostility to press that should concern Americans no matter their politics It's designed- Oh tell it Obama you phony Yeah, I wonder if we still have that clip. What was the guy's name? Rosen is a gal got busted rose and that's right and they throw him in jail right yeah, let me see Obama was the worst for this and they never bring it up no No, it's all Trump invented it wasn't give you a break with Jay Rosen. No know what? He's the professor

1:03:37 Who was it? Who was which Rosen you see jail maybe I can find that way no Obama hmm, I can't seem to fit. It was quite a long time ago I don't know if we even have those clips from back in the day. I don't know if the is archive We probably do but they're gonna be easy to find yeah But yeah, Obama's doing it. But so is everybody bitches and moans about the press. The press bitches and moans about the press that's who bitches and moans. Everybody bitches and moans. I got one more clip here you mentioned this but this is not the first time that the Trump administration has tried to subpoena or question journalists about stories that are critical of the administration or the president

1:04:23 Is this a pattern that you're seeing? How would you describe this kind of behavior. Again, the president is in court and his administration's in court against The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal just last week my colleagues were an Iowa State Court defending upholster and seltzer against charges filed by the President alleging that her poll constituted consumer fraud It's beyond the pale. It is a direct attack on the First Amendment protection of our free press and the 250th anniversary of our country, we should demand better. How does this administration compare to previous administrations? I mean other presidents and other administrations have asked reporters to reveal their sources but how does this moment compared to those

1:05:08 That's right, other presidents have done it. But this is not something we should get used to just because other presidents have done it and they have of both parties isn't a grounds for justification. We shouldn't normalize this behavior. We should ask for the freest press we can demand that's what we deserve under the First Amendment. That's what we are guaranteed beyond deserved Again, I think that you have to look at this in the larger context of the President's attacks on the press. Really almost from day one attacking the press has been a trademark of his and the result is a chill on speech. Chill on speech? There's no chill! It's worse than ever! Where is it chill?! Hello? I don't know... I don't see any chill No. I see people moaning and groaning more than ever

1:05:59 Yeah. Anti-Trump, Trump's fault! So the president had kind of a very interesting change of heart over the Straits of Hormuz where first he started saying hey man we're gonna charge everybody some money Which went charge everybody 20 percent, which came out of nowhere all of a sudden. Trump changing his tune after oil prices soared and American Gulf allies called to complain Kings Amir's All the people that we all know and We all love and they said we'd love to do it in different way We'd love to invest in the United States with billions and billions of dollars What's that

1:06:47 It wasn't that last show clip? No, no this is a new clip. No I think it happened on the last...no it just happened after the show on Sunday when we did 20% that was after the show Maybe you're gonna miss me brought up on the Horowitz. That's what I think but tonight one thing is clear The Strait of Hormuz is closed Iran firing on multiple cargo ships and on American allies in the region So then the new gambit came in which is that? You don't have to pay a toll, but just invest in us. It's wondering if you could explain your Changing thinking on straight for those applying at 20% fee

1:07:27 How did you get to the decision? It was never fair to me that we would be guarding the strait when basically don't take any, we don't need the oil at all. And it wasn't important for us but it was important for allies I was called by different people from different countries Kings and Amirs All of the people that we all know We all love them. They've been frankly, they've been very strong partners and they said we'd love to do it a different way we'd love to invest in the United States with Billions and billions of dollars. We would like to invest tremendously in the United States as opposed to charging a fee, and I like that actually because I don't think anybody should be able to charge a fee for the straight or for any other straight relationship in terms of other sections of the world. I do not think anyone should really be in that position.

1:08:20 But we were doing it as a reimbursement. The Gulf states are going to invest in tremendous amount of money into the United States and that was very satisfactory to me I think it's actually much better So, listening to couple analysts on CNBC and you know... I was like what is he doing? This is completely stupid Why would even say oh we want 20% Is just pulling stuff out his butt as usual or there something behind it and then to change it around, well you guys should be paying 20% but instead as long as you invest billions and billions of dollars in America we'll protect you. You don't have to do that." But now I'm listening these analysts and it seems like the Strait of Hormuz may even just be made

1:09:07 redundant at some point. Hormuz now effectively under new management, what's your reaction to this latest US blockade and do you think it's going to be enough to number one keep barrels flowing and number two squeeze the Iranian regime at the same time to try and bring them to the negotiation table or at least bring them to some kind of stability that would allow the U.S. to continue negotiations and find an off-ramp to this conflict? Daniel, you hinted at something very important here that perhaps it's a political tactic during negotiation. By the way none of the two parties completely abandoned the negotiating table and that perhaps explains why the market is not in panic mode I mean you would expect any period of so-called ceasefire to continue this kind of tit for tat actions

1:09:59 And as long as the two parties are still talking, and that's something we should remember. I think that gives us some hope that these are more targeted limited attacks and not really a fully fledged war As we saw let say 2 months ago for instance So there could be a tactic to force both parties to stick to their negotiations To reach a deal at certain point But of course markets does no like this kind of uncertainty That is why we're seeing these kinds of developments overnight in oil prices But I remain hopeful because, even under the worst case scenario some oil continued to flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Yes some of it continued to flow through the State of Hormuz but all these countries they're all scrambling and building alternative

1:10:45 transit routes, which is pipelines and all kinds of other things. But it remains to be seen what is the next chapter for Hormuz? More importantly while this is happening something else equally important that's happening that is the countries in the Middle East are continuing looking for alternatives to divert away from Hormuz so who knows maybe by the time the Hormuz crisis is resolved we don't need to rely as much on Hormuz to get oil and gas and other products out of there Here's one other analyst about it. For global trade, it does affect the flow of trade and all that but you do see trade adapt move to other routes for example DP World port has other ports around the world and those operations have increased so you'll see expansions in other alternatives for the UAE itself all focuses on Fujairah right now

1:11:38 What doesn't make the headline is enough, is that the cost of shipping insurance will stay up for a while. So businesses will go where there's less friction, where there's less costs so we expect to see more activities from Fujairah side." I think this whole idea is just to make the whole straight kind of irrelevant. Well, if you look at the shipping there's thousands of ships that are around. It won't be overnight? No it won't be overnight but they've got the pipeline which funny enough I think that was wasn't a Clinton thing back in the day The pipeline taking it up to Turkey and then from Turkey getting it into Europe and Taking over to the Black Sea And just all these different routes I think we're gonna have to do a Pipeline episode again soon

1:12:35 Well, we're due. Yeah I think there's something up with this the whole thing well i mean you do or there are theses out there that said this was the whole thing was to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Well it wouldn't surprise me wouldn't surprise me all I guess don't think I've got to bring in to complicate matters here's a clip at the Iranian conflict is Now targeting the Houthis. Next, the Treasury Department has announced sanctions against an underground network that has been helping the Iranian regime obtain weapons This comes as Iran is threatening to use the Houthi terrorist group to expand their attacks on commercial shipping

1:13:19 And it is Jason Perry has the details. The United States continues to increase its efforts to help secure the Strait of Hormuz and on Wednesday, the Treasury Department announced another round of sanctions connected to the Iranian regime. The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned targets involved in an international network helping to get weapons for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Details of the sanctions include two individuals in Russia and one in Italy accused of assisting Iran to get weapons. The sanctions also target a company based in Nigeria called Vanguard Tactical Supply Limited, which served as an intermediary in helping Iran get weapons. The fresh round of sanctions comes after Iran's attacks on vessels in the Hormuz Strait. However, Iran has warned that if U.S strikes continue

1:14:12 Iran could expand attacks on commercial shipping to the coast of Yemen through its proxy, the Houthi terrorist group. The Houthis are located near another strategic waterway for global trade, the Bob al-Mandeb in the Red Sea. Petrus Katinas research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute explains But to interfere with it, Tehran would have to rely mainly on Houthis who control much of Yemen's coastline. And the Houthis have already demonstrated that they can use anti-ship missiles drones and other weapons to make commercial navigation dangerous He said the Houthis don't need to attack every ship They just have to complete a limited number of successful attacks

1:14:56 and that would cause insurance costs for commercial vessels to skyrocket, causing ships to avoid the Red Sea altogether and take a much longer route around the southern tip of South Africa. You know all this energy that we're creating here in the United States... We're getting another data center I think near Austin And they will be generating 750 kilowatts gas-fired energy and we were talking about the data centers maybe being utilities and Decentralizing the the energy The electricity sources in America, and I got an email from an old friend of the show who apparently still listens atomic Rod Adams No We haven't heard from him forever for years. Oh

1:15:54 Yeah. And I want to share this because, you know, this is what he does. He was a... Was he commander of an atomic submarine? Yeah, well now I think he became a nuclear consultant. A nuclear consultant and things were bad for awhile. Business was down particularly during the Biden administration You and John mentioned advanced nuclear demonstrations during Sunday's show. As you stated, four new reactors started operating on or before July 4th. You don't hear much about this anywhere." I was lucky enough to be present for the final two of them. Deployable Energy on June 30th and Aloe Atomics very early 1220 a.m., on July 4th It was cool to be boots-on-the-ground as an observer for these historic events Also witnessed Valar Atomics producing the first electricity from an advance reactor

1:16:44 Those success stories are likely to be joined by two to four more new reactors. By the end of the summer, the Reactor Pilot Program which helped speed reviews approvals and facility construction includes 11 projects and is designed to continue to provide acceleration even after reaching the interim goal of having three start by July 4th There's a tremendous amount of energy and excitement in the nuclear industry, stimulated by a collection of four executive orders all signed on May 23rd 2025. John mentioned that California isn't likely to see any new nuclear plant construction He is probably right! But he might be interested in learning that many of the advanced nuclear companies are headquartered in California

1:17:25 So he says California's got a couple of them and Torrance, El Segundo, Oakland, Santa Clara. Berkeley... Hey! Berkeley, California deep fishing in Berkeley right around the corner In Texas there is a whole bunch of them This is good this is what we need Yeah I agree I think it's cool It's good that were doing that We couldn't get any of that stuff done forever No because one or two mishaps Now I would say the most interesting legislation to pass, which still doesn't mean that we're going to get anywhere with it is the... what is it? The Protect the Sunshine Act.

1:18:11 You hear about this? No. Yeah, this is it! It's a debate that has consumed a lot of time literally but yesterday congress took its biggest step yet toward ending the twice yearly changing of the clocks. The house passed the sunshine protection- Say what?! Yeah yeah... This was overplayed on Fox and every place in between. This is-this is- Every year or every couple of years we get this story. It's like a rerun of old news Well, they're trying they're trying something in that you're getting if this is not Fox as an aside This is PBS act which would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide

1:18:51 The bipartisan bill now heads to the US Senate, where a similar effort stalled several years ago. For more on the push to stop changing the clocks we are joined now by Scott Yates founder of the Lock The Clock Alliance. It's always good to see you so you've been pushing for this for years We've seen momentum before it's not become law Why might this time be different? But we've never seen it pass the House before. I mean, it's never gotten to the floor for even to be able to have a vote so this is just a huge step forward and I think it shows that kind of momentum that we have and I think it shows the excitement over an issue that's actually bipartisan

1:19:29 I was pleased to see a wide margin, both among Republicans and Democrats voting for it. So I think with that kind of momentum we can go over to the Senate and say look this is what the people want And clearly that's reflected in state legislatures across the country and in the House vote yesterday We've never been this close John This has been the first time This is...we're getting somewhere with this But I think this is good. We got to check the prop bet market on this baby. This is a solid no. Well, what they would this guy with this Yates guy saying is they need to push it to the states. This is going to make it even more fun so the states can decide

1:20:07 What time zone they want to be in. This is this makes my head spin In your view, what do we gain by stopping the twice yearly changing of the clocks? One of the things I was really encouraged here yesterday were all different politicians kind of getting up and talking about the health detriments of the clock changing. You know, it wasn't that long ago that we just thought of changing the clocks for daylight saving time was kind of annoyance but we didn't think of it as deadly but now the research is really clear that it really is and very disruptive. It's bad for schools. It's bad for businesses. It's bad for everybody The only thing that we don't agree on is completely is on which time zone we should be locking into. But I think we've got a solution to be able to address that without having to have the clock change twice a year, which is what I think most people actually are the most interested in it's just

1:20:55 They don't really care that much which one we lock into. They just don't like the switching." Well, what's the solution? Well, the solution is actually an amendment that I proposed back when it was in the Senate last year to have a two-year implementation period and what that allows is for each state to be able to have enough time and the school boards to weigh in and everybody in a state to be able to say look this is a time that makes the most sense for us You know, anybody that says they've got a perfect solution that works for every state in the country has some other agenda they're trying to push. Saying you've got the exact right solution that works for Massachusetts and also works for Indiana – well, that's just not possible so I think if we have a two-year implementation which is an amendment that was accepted and is now part of the Senate version

1:21:40 That would give people of, for instance Indiana and Michigan a couple of states that I think would be really well served to the impermanent standard time. To be able to make that decision so it's kind of crazier than I thought it would be So each time zone each state will be able to determine what you know What time seven o'clock is? So today we have two hours difference between California and Texas It might be one hour Can you imagine if every state just, what's the time there? Well we're in Indiana. I mean Arizona still does its own thing and Indiana until recently used to have their own time so it's not that unusual But every state might get a little funky No the whole thing is a joke These things never come to fruition It's just going to keep going Once it was established they can't get rid of it Because I was kind of convinced kinda like you that well this interesting

1:22:35 And then I listened, of all the shows it was actually gut-filled. They had a little group of comedians on there and it was split right in the middle No! It should be daylight savings time all the time no it shouldn't because then in the morning and during this certain time of year to be too dark for the kiddies and they have to pick up...they won't be able to see the bus when he comes and again get mugged and killed So think of the children, we can't do daylight savings times all year round. But wait there's... But then if we do standard time all year round then it is too dark at night nobody's gonna go out and shop it's gonna be bad for commerce this is not working so there's a solution for this which came in the same week as this news yeah take the earth out of orbit no no no it's the new company reflect orbital

1:23:23 This is so if you don't like the fact that your kids have to walk to school in the dark Well then you just rent some time from Reflect Orbital and they can spread some sunlight on a 5 kilometer patch of earth. CC has good plans by Hawthorne based startup to test a satellite that would use a 60 foot mirror to then reflect sunlight back to planet Earth after dark. Reflect Orbital says that it would power solar farms, provide light for rescue workers and illuminate city streets The idea here is to have access to the sun on demand and when it's needed reflect orbital plans to have more than 50,000 satellites in action by 2035. However some astronomers wildlife experts and others oppose this idea completely they claim that the light from the mirrors could distract airplane pilots could wreak havoc on astronomical observations

1:24:17 and interfere with sleep-wake cycles. I think this is very cool, i'm surprised it's not an Elon Musk operation Yeah that's not happening either. Yeah it is! What a screwball story they give me crap for just good screwball stories They're demoing it they already have one up there And you say, okay let there be light and they just reflect. You know this thing's called street lamps? No but... Hello! Let's say it. Why do you need a satellite? Light up the street I lost my key somewhere in the yard let's just order some light for five minutes Yeah that would be so inexpensive you can be sure Well its just reflecting some light

1:24:59 Yeah, the 50,000 of them. How much space junk do we actually have? I don't know there's enough of the Starlink satellites to go around. Too much going on! They should put starlings and put little mirrors on them. Yeah well i see him regularly flying by regularly. So Biden's come out with a book, he was coming out with the book in November and he produced a little video of him talking about this book coming out? Wait a minute don't tell me this is another listen to no agenda show segment! No no this is actually this is Biden and I have two clips because they have it short version which is the segment that I want you to listen to

1:25:46 second time to try to tell me what he's saying. Okay, so let's play the long promotion for the book okay Since I left the presidency and a lot of people ask me Joe what have you been doing? Joe! Joe! I've been spending a lot of time with my family. I'm dealing with cancer diagnosis and I've been getting treatment and it has been going really well I want to thank all those who offered their prayers and support and well wishes. It's meant the world to me and to Jill. I've written a book about my time as president, it's called Promise Me America. It's coming out in November and it's available for pre-order now. It's about the challenges we face as a nation, about the decisions that I made... why I made them

1:26:38 Leading the country through COVID, rebuilding our economy and restoring our democracy after the attack on January 6th. In either nation's longest war in Afghanistan. Strengthening NATO and supporting Ukraine is about why I chose to run for reelection and why I chose to step aside. Is this a coloring book that he is releasing or is it actual words? Be nice! So, I get the segment there where he mumbles a bit tell me what he says Any of their nations longest war in Afghanistan Strengthen the NATO Okay something about the war in Afghanistan let me listen again Any of their nations longest war in Afghanistan Strengthen the NATO

1:27:30 Any... I don't know. Ending the longest war in Afghanistan. Hold on. Ending the nation's longest war in Afghanistan. What do you think? The nation's longest war. Ending the nation's longest war in Afghanistan. Ah, okay hold on. Ending the nation's longest war in Afghanistan. Okay ending the nations' longest war in Afghanistan. Joe Biden whisperer! I can hear him now. Okay well now let's listen to the second part. Strengthening NATO. Strengthen UDO. Strengthening NATO Wow. So is he going to do an audiobook? Because that would be genius! I'd buy it! Yeah, so i'm gonna be competing with him with my book and i'll be talking to Mimi about it by memoirs yeah your book would be great here's what i understand about books there's no money in it

1:28:30 No, it's not the idea. Well I'm not running for president! What's the idea? Well, if you ever run for president you've got the book. Right! But what do you do a book for if there is no money in it? You have to get... It's a service. Why did we do this podcast where we don't get any money?! It's a service! I know but I already do a public service now I gotta do another service? Well, you haven't done the thing yet. The thing is- Yeah exactly! It never ends. Here's what I realize Because throughout the years I've written blog posts and stuff, and... And there's- I think I've told almost every single story on the show at some point. Which is good because I have transcripts of everything. Um...I'm worried that my recollection of things may not be the way it actually happened. Someone comes out of their woodwork and says, Hey! You're full of crap!" What do you in that case? Oh, y-you-that's gonna happen Yeah, well of course it is

1:29:32 But then what do you do? You say, that's the way I remember it. Okay...I just can't slander anybody Well that's easy enough! Well but i gotta tell my Richard Mark story Unless they're dead I got to tell my Richard Mark story Is he dead? No but he's litigious He is very litigious, he's crazy Oh yeah, he doesn't even mention him in the book But its a great story No, now we... Well why don't you call him up? NO! And tell him if you can tell the story. I don't need his permission to tell this story, do i? Well if you don't want to get sued maybe. Well see now I don't want to do a book. Oh boy your easy.

1:30:14 What a pushover. The worst thing about Richard Marx, who I had... I don't even know who you're talking about somebody nobody knows who you're talking about are you kidding me? Richard Marx in the 80s and 90s had number one hits back-to-back just because you don't look... He was the Marx Brothers or what are you talking about Okay, I will play you a Richard Marx song. He sings? He's a singer? Yes he is a singer! On what group? Richard Marx! He is just Richard Marks! Oh...I never heard of him No if- I'm not surprised that you've never heard of him but he's quite famous Let me see..what's uh....he has all new songs where are his biggest hits

1:31:01 Uh... Wait, what was it? Right here waiting for you. Right here waiting for you dick marks. Ehhhhh.... Here we go. This kind of stuff. Oh this is the kinda stuff I don't like! That's probably why never heard it before. No, no, of course not. It's boring! Look at that's Brian Adams hold on light some candles people. That's Brian Adams. That's not even oh, you know I've got the right guy here We go this is him This is him there's your night sounds the same 1980s DX7 synthesizer sound He comes out of the smoke Yeah, this is good. Oh yeah, he's got his blue jeans on sits down to piano

1:31:48 And I slowly go Anyway, so I made a joke about his hair once on MTV which was okay. You know and I had hair Did he have long hair short hair? He'd be here and it's always bigger like you head Yeah And I said there's Richard Marx with his hair at number four on the top 20 counter he tried to get me fired He literally tried to get me fired

1:32:27 And what? Because I made fun of him. He went to... How did you make fun of him, he said he had hair! That's-I'm telling you. He went to Abbie Konowich, he went to Rick Krimp The irony would be if he was bald now No he is not Well no the hard part is You know who he is married too? You won't know her either Daisy Fuentes Now you don't know. Nick Fuentes is his sister? You're hopeless! This book is not for you, okay this book is not for you Don't worry about it, don't read it Mimi and I will make a book and we'll make a book We'll make a book And I want to do that whole download the PDF and if you want to buy it then value for value just send me some money

1:33:09 You get some out of it. No, you'll get nothing out of it! No, you'll get something. So uh... I can go on a promo tour and promote the show. It would benefit from not having anything about Richard Marx though. No no because that was a legendary fight this is legendary Wow and then we are on live... This is just your unselling the book as we speak We're in a live radio show and he says I hope you get cancer but that was Richard Marx That was kind of cute. Yeah, so there's good stories there it's good stories All right Let you play this clip fun fraud testimony NTD Fun fraud testimony and following a string of major criminal fraud cases in federal programs Senate lawmakers here from investigative journalists and watchdogs on how to stop billions in taxpayer fraud before it happens entity correspondent Jason Blair has the takeaways when a fraudster commits fraud

1:34:06 He or she steals from all of us. The Senate Homeland Security Committee is looking to tackle widespread fraud being exposed across the country Chairman Rand Paul compares the federal government to private businesses that verify payments up front Washington pays first and ask questions later if it asked them at all. No private business would survive this way, a bank confirms an account exists before wiring the money. A credit card company flags suspicious changes in seconds. Paul highlighted major criminal cases in Minnesota. Prosecutors have now charged 15 people in Minnesota with schemes involving more than 90 million dollars

1:34:44 one autism services scheme alone, $46.6 million dollars the Justice Department calls it the largest Medicaid autism fraud case in its history independent journalist Nick Shirley whose investigations helped expose those Minnesota cases tells the committee the problem is nationwide now the highest government funded daycare in Minnesota has pleaded guilty to daycare fraud and a large autism bust in America history has been exposed. If we as Americans do not stand up to protect our country, we will lose our country. Journalist James O'Keefe describes undercover work that contributed is a federal crime. Ranking member Gary Peters describes bipartisan legislation he helped pass to stop conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies After learning that a company was being paid with tax dollars to advise the government on oversight for the pharmaceutical industry while simultaneously being paid by pharma companies to help market their drugs. You know, the fraud in America I got a stat here

1:35:55 Let me see where this was. It's half the budget! Here it is, nine days of improper federal payments equals the entire annual budget we send to Israel. Nine days two weeks of only Medicare and Medicaid fraud I mean yeah it is out of control Yeah can you imagine what would be like with Medicare for all? Oh, please. We'd be broke the whole country would be down Did I tell you that when I went to visit Lex remember my first boss on his estate? Yeah Lex, Lex Luther yeah On his estate he's got an estate The guy has made so much money from art I mean do you walk through we went to the modern museum of art in Amsterdam The Stedelijk Museum He's got better stuff at home yeah Let me tell ya Do not go to the Stedelijk Museum it is a gyp

1:36:52 It's a total, like what is this? It's a jip. It's stupid. It's a jip?! It's like oh there's some sand on the floor with two shoes and the title is Vimte Schippers Is Gone So, go to Lex's house. Oh there is five warhols... Can you get me an invite so I can go his house someday and look at his art? Yeah! I think so. Well you should have been there for the expo when he had his... He had his um... It was too late now i'm just saying now You know you go to bathroom with this two Keith Haring all of these pop art And then has these photos. He got a photo of The Beatles at the cavern club Caverner tavern or the cavern club in Berlin

1:37:40 You've never seen this photo before it's before the one that everyone has always seen I mean he's got the most amazing stuff anyway What was my point? It was about fraud yeah, it was a something important. Oh about that go about the health care system Medicare for all so in Netherlands y'all they've got free healthcare. It's great So when he needed something, and he's 81 now. He cannot go to a doctor and pay the doctor privately... ...He has to wait in line for weeks or months like everybody else. Why? I thought you could do that! No not not in the Netherlands nope nope Nope. What about under the table? No they won't do it. He says I tried everything

1:38:25 Yeah, he says you have to go. Yes yeah if you get a specialist then you might for something very Specialized you might be able to get in within a week but in general back of the line everybody's treated the same Equity it sucks equity getting all feisty now It's equity. You're also a mom. Is this something you would hope to see in your children's school someday? I personally feel really, really excited for what it means my son is going into kindergarten this year and i'm really hopeful that his school will adopt Claude for teachers to help tailor curriculum for him and for his classmates

1:39:24 are in the hands of teachers now, but what do you say to the parents who are nervous that this new technology is going to repeat those same mistakes? I completely understand and relate to this worry. And I think a key difference here is that Claw.ai remains for 18 year old users and above only so individual students below the age of 18 won't have access to the tool directly

1:40:09 And I think this isn't because we necessarily feel worried that this is a terrible thing to give to kids. But, I think the reality is we just don't know enough about AI's impact on the developing brain- So let's just use it on kids! For Anthropic to feel comfortable giving access to students directly We know that AI can hallucinate It can make mistakes If this chatbot were to make a mistake if it were to give the wrong information or bad advice or reinforce bias, who would be accountable for that? These models are not foolproof. They do make mistakes and part of how we have worked with teachers in developing this technology and really listening to their questions and concerns is helping to spot when an AI might be entering unknown territory what are the signs to look for at a point

1:41:06 What could possibly go wrong? Do not let your children into a school where they have clawed for teachers. This is not a good idea! I'd say, here, I got an AI story this week... Google! Big Google And what does the future hold for the news industry as more people read AI-powered news summaries? NDD's David Lamb asks an expert Some news publishers are concerned about being asked to join Google's new pilot program for AI-powered article overviews. According to a report in The Information, content would be shared in Google News and Gemini AI giving Google broad rights on how to use the content

NDD's David Lamb asks an expert Some news publishers are concerned about being asked to join Google's new pilot program for AI-powered article overviews. According to a report in The Information, content would be shared in Google News and Gemini AI giving Google broad rights on how to use the content

1:41:51 Matthew Gilbert, a senior lecturer of marketing shares his thoughts on the current landscape of news summaries. I think there's definitely been a shift in how people look for information and also how they look to consume information you do get links to the actual articles but before any of that you're getting summary What's interesting is I think a lot of people, if they already see what they already need... They're not going to even click through beyond that. Currently the Google News Showcase platform pays publishers to create and curate online news content through a licensing program But publishers fear that if they opt out of the new pilot They may risk losing the fee they currently receive when Google shares their articles Gilbert also notes there's a risk to articles that feature deep investigative content

1:42:39 There's a real big risk that what you're producing gets lost in the shuffle or doesn't even get seen at all because if all that it is looking for is this sort of top level shorthand takeaway, that deeper investigation, that more important information is not going to get read. Google says that for years it has produced 24 billion monthly visits to news websites. Chances are their content will still probably in some way or another still be getting fed into the AI system whether they even are aware of it or not Yeah, this news is broken. They need to stop this. This value for value by individual journalists I think the only way to go Maybe That's your opinion? Yeah my opinions maybe You're an independent There's a restaurant in the Bay Area that's doing Value For Value Do they call it Value for Value No they don't but it's definitely Value for Value Have you been

1:43:40 No. And what do they do? Just pay whatever you think the meal was worth? Yeah Or can also choose to wash up, to... What do you mean? Do the dishes? Yeah! Time, talent and treasure? Wash up or set tables I don't know about that Maybe You should go investigate Get in that old Lexus of yours Drive over there and take a look Maybe I will. Maybe I'll get out of the house and check it out, And you should record it and you should say this sucks! I'm not giving you any money just do that. Then Google can take in some horizon? I get nothing out of all the effort No if your sub stack is value for value Can't people send you money if they want to to the Oasis yeah They can send me money Do they send you money does it work Yeah, I guess someone okay well then It works The system works

1:44:30 You're living the new international lifestyle. Enjoy! It's suck, it stinks So we know about the Apple OpenAI lawsuit Do you have any thoughts on that? Yeah, it's a gem. That is my thought Maybe My thought is maybe You can't have maybe Everything I say you can't just come back and say maybe I think maybes this theme for the... Mayby what? Maby what? Mayby they'll win Well, maybe or not What are you thinking about in this lawsuit Well, I'm just gonna lead into a clip because OpenAI supposedly they revealed what they're doing

1:45:16 And it sounds dumb. OpenAI's first hardware device will reportedly be a speaker built as an AI companion Kate Rooney has more I feel like i ask you about this every day, Kate what we know about the hardware. Hello Google! Listen to her plans of openai and now some details Sarah they've been so secretive about it but we are now getting some new details in reporting around OpenAI's hardware plans as this company now fights a hardware lawsuit from Apple. Bloomberg now reporting OpenAI plans to launch what they describe as a screen-free AI companion designed for your house, it does sound really similar to Amazon's Alexa would be a portable battery powered device would help control smart home devices answer questions play music as I mentioned has been

1:46:03 extremely secretive about these plans. Rumors have ranged from a wearable pin to some sort of earpiece, no comment from the company but sources I've talked to say the designs could change it's still very much in the works and this report does also say the device may launch by the end of this year OpenAI's entire hardware push though is now very much under fire after Apple on Friday sued the company and its top team members over allegedly stealing intellectual property devices Overall, it's been a major strategic push for this company. It did pay $6.5 billion to buy iPhone designer Johnny Ives' startup late last year

1:46:40 So a screen yeah, we talked about this on the last show too. No we did not Yes We did because we talked to specifically you and I both agreed that Silicon Valley does this all the time And we specifically talked about Johnny I've never we didn't talk about the device This is new you didn't know how the device no the device is Alexa Well, I don't know visit yes set timer I think it's just a chatbot block. Play my playlist, that would be worse! Set timer? Okay... You want to talk about the weather?! What's it going to talk to you about? Well people talk to their chatbots all day long so might as well have it in the house Oh God can you imagine

1:47:30 No, it's not for me. But yeah I can imagine... They don't have any other business? What is this supercut you have? Might as well drag you through these last few minutes! I just got a kick out of these supercuts This is the when Elon Musk... Somebody put these together recently When Elon Musk bought Twitter They were all over it and we're talking about everybody that hated this whole idea. And I got two super cuts to talk about first of us was the end of Twitter? Elon Musk has managed to bring Twitter to the brink of collapse in just three weeks This is what is the end or was the end of Twitter

1:48:17 Has one come back from destroying Twitter, burning it to the ground? Elon Musk burning the business to the ground. The absolute destruction of the platform formerly known as Twitter thanks to his decisions... Twitter is really in an ever-quickening death spiral They're going to have a hard time just keeping the lights on over at Twitter given this mass exodus Advertisers but also users He's heading for the exits. It's a shithole, right? Elon fucked that shit up! There is better engagement on threads. He is not a media platform owner he has never done this. He doesn't know what he's doing it has to be just a question of time before whether its Mastodon or some other site that actually operates in an equal and responsible way takes over all the Twitter users we will go there. Elon Musk can you know this could be all fun and games from at the end of the way he's going to drive his business into the ground there will be nothing left All advertisers are gone

1:49:11 You can't have a major brand in this country and be putting your ads on platforms like this that are unsafe for children, that are spreading misinformation about COVID. That's actually killing people! He is dangerous man I've said it many times on the show Well when it comes to a podcast about media deconstruction I think that qualifies as... Wow that's an obscure catch It does. Well, so then we have after it didn't collapse in three weeks like everyone predicted... Hey! What did we say? Well, you said the Fediverse was gonna take over everything. The Fediverse is the way to go man! Decentralize baby it's cool the Fediverse ask comicstripblogger he's been kicked off every single instance on the Fediverse ever and then once he's allowed on he says this is no good I can't syndicate with No Agenda...No Authority Social

1:50:10 The most censored Fediverse node on the network is no authority. The most, the most censored and all they do there is they do these... The Fediverse was co-opted by the left that's the problem. Your whole idea originally which I'm mocking now but in fact it could have been true except it was co-opted by the Left which they do and has ruined it Well, it depends on how you view it. That's the way I view it. Okay that's the way you like we have podcastindex.social and it's beautiful It is not political at all. It's just about podcasting 2.0. It is a fantastic system works really well and people can still follow or jump in if they want to

1:51:03 And that has not been ruined by any political stuff at all. It's really good and there is no moderating, I don't sit around blocking people and telling them to stop. There is only one instance that I block and that's NoAuthority.social Good and then you know because I don't have the time to be blocking poast And you know was it shit posters dot social? Once once in a while, I get all but a group once in a while. I get all these direct messages Because there's they had these contests The faggot of the month and then oh god yeah, and I was up against some dude from Sweden that lost

1:51:45 You lost it? Well you weren't faggot of the month. I was not faggot of the month! Oh that's a shame... I know! Well there is one more shorter clip which is the super cut of after the three weeks was over and they didn't flop, they started calling Twitter a cesspool. Elon Musk has turned X formerly known as Twitter into a cesspool. TwitterX is just such a cesspool now but it's also a cesspool Everything that goes on it's a circus cesspool Twitter right now is a cesspool Twitter is a cesspool or x I guess its called now Cesspool just bad information lies Twitter is becoming a deeper, darker cesspool of disinformation and chaos. It has now really become a cesspool of misinformation. The Twittersphere as it is has really gone berserk lately. It's got to become almost a cesspool of misinformation. Arguably it's never been this successful

1:52:37 I know. Yeah, and particularly with the XAI integration... Now the thing I did predict... Grok helps a lot being on there! The thing I predicted is the money stuff. That's coming, I predicted that years ago and that's coming. I agree you have and hasn't happened but i'm not saying that that's a bad prediction. I think the Fediverse prediction was a bit much but that other one about the money yep yeah definitely apparently it's already in beta and from what I understand if you put your money into the x wallet and I have no idea how it's going to work um... You'll get six percent

1:53:17 I don't know how it's going to be a tech company. Yeah, yeah. You crack me up, Dvorak. Yes. That's another buzzword from the past FinTech. But add something on what is that? Something on banking about money and FinTech or was it where was that? Oh yeah. The Clarity Act Yeah. That's what everybody is waiting for, the Clarity Act. What's the Clarity Act? The Clarity Act is supposed to give clarity on how stablecoins work and I think... To explain it! The main thing is if—the way I understand and then there's probably a lot more in the Clarity Act— the main thing is the guys who are doing stablecoin they want to be able to give people interest on their deposits

1:54:19 And the banking sector is going, no you can't do that. That's our business and if you want to do that you should become a bank. Subsequently I think CircleUSDC has become a bank So that's what I have two clips from Loomis. Senator Loomis is the one driving this. The Democrats want Republicans to go on the record, to reject ethics standards that would apply to President Trump and to Congress It's not clear if there is 50 GOP senators willing to take that vote Can you give us some color on that? Yeah, we've continued to work on ethics language that the Congress has to live under and the president has to live under. So some of the issues are things like can a state attorney general sue an elected official? For some reason they're talking about something other than the Clarity Act here. They're talking about ethics

1:55:18 I don't know what that clip is. You guys, your clip! Yeah and i don't think that clip is not valid but i do have a Jesse Waters clip about our money as Jesse paid a visit to the treasury and hung out with our general patent on the down low Tonight we're taking you somewhere the cameras usually don't go. The Treasury Department's secret vault and we found something that has never been seen before Beautiful room And here is the Treasurer's Vault from 1863 And you know, Jesse I can't let you pass the gate. No too much money in there. All right? You don't trust me well It's not you it's not you i've heard that before yeah exactly so what used to be in this vault or what's in this vault now

1:56:09 Well, I can't tell you what's in there now but Americans used to come and cash their checks here. That is exactly what i was thinking! I can't show you whats in there now because theres no actual cash in there. Where they came here? Yep or banks could present... Hey stop the clip. What ever happened with the visit of Fort Knox that we're supposed to see by these Fox people? Someone going to go visit Fort Knox and show the gold?! That was Elon he was gonna live stream it Yeah, what happened to that? Well they don't want to embarrass anybody because there's no gold! That's where they came here. Yep, our banks could present and get greenbacks Solomon chase who was the treasurer or Treasury secretary? During the Civil War created the Greenback we used to have States used to have their own money banks used to issue their own money And he consolidated into the green back so people could swap for green backs here were there silver coins were there gold coins with their Certificates all of the above okay, and we still have all that

1:57:15 those but now most people use currency. I hear there might be a new brand of currency around the corner? Well it's same currency just different series and it's gonna look different well it's gonna have one big change on it for the 250th, the president signature is going to be on it for the first time so I think it's fitting Donald Trump is president during our 250th anniversary so it'll be the President's signature and my signature on it. So much for my $250 bill idea! I mean, have you seen these? That's not collectible... Is that collectible?! No. I don't think so either although there's gonna be this gold one dollar coin

1:58:04 with Trump on it. Well there's the coin that I have of Steve Jobs on it Yeah, that's pretty collectible. I mean...I'd say Boots On The Ground a note we finally have one A producer and knight of the No Agenda Roundtable Gentlemen, I've been a long time listener to this show I've been a knight since 2020 I was listening to episode 1884 Code Brown when I heard the challenge for any producers who are members of Patriot Front to step forward Okay, here he is. I'm a member photographer and social media influencer Patriot journo on Instagram for patriot front this is like the marketing guy

1:58:42 Okay. I'm sure if you look hard enough into my donations, you can figure out who i am but we have no time to do that. We're not doing that! Just tell us or we don't care. I don't mind. Don't anyone know? With all that said, I ask that you keep any and all personal information private You asked why we wear the mask. I do so for my wife and children Our opposition Antifa Marxist etc would love nothing more than to run our employers and... To run to our employers and claim we are Nazis Historically, they're often successful. And then he says something interesting because the influencer after all would you guys be interested in interviewing the leader of Patriot Front Thomas Rousseau? I can't make any promises but I believe who'd be up for it My Instagram account is also a wealth of information from answers to commonly asked questions two speeches etc I'm happy to answer questions as well But I do not speak on behalf of the organization only Thomas does I would say no

1:59:39 We don't really do interviews. I don't think so. Something might be done. Yeah, you might do it for a Best Of show. Maybe we'll call it the Nazi episode? We could do couple of Nazis! Oh, man. Actually what would be fun... Yeah? Would be do the Patriot front guy and do somebody- The head of the Democrat Socialists. Oh yeah together at this like a debate in the same room no I don't think they would get along host to debates you should hosts the debates if you should debated whatever happened that was we use that wasn't there was a thing for a little bit their podcasters debating each other

2:00:24 I miss those days. Those days were good! Nobody cares about podcasters... With that, I want to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the sea in these cytositosis say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr John C. Norris! Good morning to you Mr Ann Curry, good morning our ships of seaboats at the ground feet in the air in all the games tonight. Peak trollage of 1,339. It's kind of typical for a Thursday good to have everybody here up 100 from last show they are listening Last Thursday listening live to our stream because this is a live-to-tape program No editing no going back on multi tracks and fixing little stumbles and burrs and errs No, we are just professional We are professionals

2:01:28 And we give you the real deal and we do it twice a week on Thursdays. Okay, and that means that when you want to, you can just listen live to us... You can also...and I think that's a big part of our success formula actually People like live, they you know there's something about it that gets like emergency They're urgent emergency pod You know is like even if they can't listen live. They know that it has a lot of feel to it Don't you think most podcasts feel dead just dead? Oh the NPR ones for sure everything out those the people who host those are dead

2:02:12 But these days, and oh man I am so grateful. A lot of podcasts do feel dead Yeah just dead because it's like yeah you know they don't have the excitement They're not walking on the high wire like we are Yeah right tight rope Tight rope walking And I'm so happy we never went to video and did YouTube So Tina she used to listen to Megyn Kelly religiously Religiously Now with video, everybody just including Megyn Kelly herself they just cut segments. You know so it's like five minutes here seven minutes there and so she scrolling along on Instagram or whatever and oh yeah I watched the Megyn Kelly show do you really watch the show? No no no I just get a clip. Well you identify what...I thought about this too uh you identified a problem because i don't watch

2:03:08 I would watch a Joe Rogan show once in awhile. Yeah? I don't think i've watched one for about a year because I just see these little segments and I figure that's the best of the show! Hey... It's like, best of! Something amazing just happened Tina just texted me and said, I'm listening She might have the explosive diarrhea Are you not feeling well babe? She never listens to the show This is amazing she says ha! Ha to you! I'm listening now I always say, why don't you listen to the show anymore? She says because i get you live here. I get all your conspiracies. I'm sick of it! I think that's what she's really saying...I'm sick of it already! Yeah so anyway no but she's my canary in the coal mine So when something bubbles through because she's watching people working out on uh she's an Instagram girl at Reels

2:04:04 You know, then she gets in the dog algo. The dog algos are kind of cute though I have to say you know see the dogs doing stuff and cooking man It's still all with cheese But then once in a while she gets in the podcast algo and it's literally just these same with Rogan I don't know if how many...I just don't think a lot of people watch an entire two or three hour Rogan anymore Don't they just get the best of clips and just watch that? There's millions of these accounts that post little clips. You know, I got on an interesting Elgo stream... On Instagram? Yeah, on Instagram. Chick-fil-A

2:04:48 Every other thing was a Chick-fil-A post people in cow costumes People yeah, it just one thing after another was about must have been 100 and they're all native ads of some sort I don't know how they're doing it but chick-fil-a Was just producing tons of these Instagram posts from all over the place. Hmm damn this thing I've ever seen huh? And and how long were you in this algo hole as far as I know I'm still in it If you want to be alerted when we go live, you need one of these modern podcast apps. These have been around... They're mature now these apps they've five six years these new apps have been around and they are still much better than the legacy apps if only for this reason that when you subscribe to the podcast when we go live and there's several other a lot of live podcasts certainly in the No Agenda Nation realm Gitmo nation

2:05:47 You get a note, you get boom. Your app goes hey the boys are going live and little art you know but oh tap boom you're listening and I think maybe even more important because of the pod ping technology we deployed across hundreds of thousands of podcasts that use this now But of course Apple and Spotify don't use this. So when we publish the show within 90 seconds your app notifies you so there's no longer refreshing and waiting, where is the BudBud guest? No boom it just happens right away As you heard earlier, we are enjoying the benefits of the new international lifestyle known as Value for Value which is the only way to go. We don't have to worry about anything. Well I guess slander would be one but...we're not too worried about pissing off advertisers or misreading something or giving the wrong promo code none of that stuff all we have to do is just do the show which we kind

2:06:48 kind of as a public service, but we like continuation. We like doing the show and the only way that we can do that is if you support us and you do that by returning whatever value got from the show so there's no set number, no set amount of times. We will tell you honestly when donations are down if we don't say anything then donations are good they're a little bit down today but it's not horrible It's kinda been the same forever hasn't it? Yeah, it's been dull. Dull? Well... really? I mean you know it's been low generally. Yeah It's been higher But it's consistently but it's not like bouncing all over the place is just about this and here and there plus or minus a few donations. It's amazing how it kind of evens out

2:07:44 with, you know like just when the numbers are really bad then someone will come in with a big donation. It's really interesting how it works I mean we could write a book about that but why would we? There is no money in it. Haven't we considered that didn't someone at some point want us to write a value for value book? I thought I got a more of an essay. It's like half a sub stack Anyway, you can support us in multiple ways. Time, talent and treasure that is the system And a lot of people do things for us, set up websites run different things for us. It's really quite amazing how much people are willing to help boots on the ground helps enormously and show art artwork is always good because we see that as promotion whenever we post the show it also shows up in your podcast app. We've been one of the few shows who has done this before AI.

2:08:47 Like one of three shows that did it consistently had new artwork for every single show because was so hard to make And we've trained people to doing things in a certain way and you know what works, and we know what works? And it's uh. It's attention grabber So when we saw the artwork by Jeffrey Ria for episode 1885 which I don't thought one adult daycare We want yeah That's the one there was I guess that's a Code Brown ED explosion. Yeah, something like that. There's a bathroom and it just... but it was nice! It was Noah Jenda, Kareem Dvorak I think Jeffrey Rhea is a hybrid artist? I don't think this is all AI He never told us he... I'm just thinking Or has he? I'm just thinking that he's a hybrid artist We have a lot of those hybrid artists Um yeah in other words you do the AI and then you take and drop it into Photoshop and fix it Do some stuff, yeah, do some stuff

2:09:46 And, uh... Let's see. I mean like color balance hello? We had a lot of- How much work does that take? I love it when you say, I can fix this by color balancing! I'm like i'm gonna wait for that No just choose something from Darren Um let's see we actually had some funny art just funny for us Uh no more Darren O'Neal That was Miss Cho- Miss Cho Ho Um, well some of the comics for blogger put a lot of stuff up there including Darren O'Neill even did it. No more Darren stop Darren slop All stuff we'd never use but we got to laugh out of it appreciate that Yeah his dad is yeah, there's a big number no more Darren yeah, we kind of like the

2:10:35 the instructor jumping out of the airplane, but it's kind of gruesome. No? Yeah yeah I liked The Blue Acorn Sam-I-Am with a cat in the hat with the green brain and you thought that was too gruesome Uh... can't remember what i'm looking for Oh that one! Yeah I didn't like that at all I don't like his neck I don't like the brain What's wrong with the brain?! It looked nice Sick. Alright, Jeffrey Rhea thank you very much for your contribution to the best podcast in universe it is highly appreciated now we go to the treasure portion these are people who support us $50 and above We'd like to thank everybody not under 50 for reasons of anonymity And there are a lot of people who give us very small amounts You know two dollars three dollars Three dollars and thirty-three cents 1111 1212 so this would just be a little bit too long

2:11:31 But we always like to highlight people who are in the fortunate circumstance to be able to give us an executive or associate executive producer donation. So it's $200 or more, not only are we guaranteed to read your notes which people take advantage of in interesting ways But we will also give you the title, Showbiz Hollywood Title of Associate Executive Producer. $300 or more and you get the executive producer credit and these can be used in any Hollywood situation so it's a real deal including IMDB.com or put on your LinkedIn or social media profile on your letterhead and if anyone ever questions that will be happy to vouch for you

2:12:10 So our first executive producer, and coming in straight away with $1,000 plus the fees which is $30.26 is Sir Dan The Man! Sir Dan The Man's been around for a while he's from Cape Coral Florida and he has a longer note here let me see what... And their first request for a kidney He has a request for a kidney? This is the no agenda first that nobody's about to read He needs a kidney?! No, his wife does. Well let's see what is going on? Dear Adam and John I'm writing as a long time NOAgenda listener and supporter to let you know that i'll be making this show donation of $1000 dollars. I appreciate the work you do and the community you've built around the show Normally I would remain semi-anonymous but these are not normal times for my family! I want to humbly ask you to share this message with the NOAGENDA community about my wife Linda and her kidney transplant journey

2:13:04 A few weeks ago with no warning we found out that she is in end stage renal failure. Dr. Dvorak, what does that mean? It means her kidneys stopped working And you have two kidneys, so both kidneys have failed I guess? Yeah. You only need one We have started GoFundMe to help with the medical and related expenses that come with transplant care recovery travel and ongoing support Most importantly Linda is also in need of a kidney donor and anyone who be willing to get tested can start the process at www dot mtilivingdonor.org

2:13:50 If any fellow producers or listeners feel moved to help, whether by donating sharing the fundraiser or considering living donor testing it would mean a great deal to our family. So I'll put this link in the show notes in the credits Thank you for considering the request and thank you for the laughs, the insight and the community you continue to create! I'm grateful to be able to support the show And I would be deeply grateful for any help spreading the word for Linda Penny wants mac & cheese and a jobs karma, and all the health karma we can spare. So I'm gonna up the ante here if any No Agenda producer donates their kidney to Linda... ...I will take you out to dinner personally! I will come to wherever you are in the country and i will take you out to dinner but it's only if he is your kidney now if its your kids kidney get two dinners guaranteed

It's your birthday yeah! Title changes Now this is a layaway baron upgrade from Sir Gary and he sent in notes because it's under the normal amounts that we read notes.

2:31:37 He says, I know there are many of us retired folks who send a smaller donation every month and once in awhile put in a bump for the sake of those sad puppies that John posts. I hadn't checked my donation spreadsheet for some time and I calculate that my pittances have added up to $2,641.36! Just think all that money would've gone into what we in Minnesota call The Pink Sheet the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Much better value for value with the Inouye Jenner Show I wish to change my moniker to Baronet Sir Gary who plays taps! I've been state director for buglesacrossamerica.org for many years, have led my states 173 volunteers providing live taps free of charge for any veterans honor services. Wow that's very cool

2:32:22 If you'd mention my organization, remind families of vets when they are arranging honors to ask if they have a live bugler. BAA's website is an easy portal to make sure those 24 notes have a heartbeat behind them. It's always free of charge and always deserved hoping your search for an exit strategy continues to be a failure in the morning.
