About this episode

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confronted CNN anchor Dana Bash over the media's failure to maintain skepticism during the COVID-19 pandemic, accusing major outlets of malpractice for vilifying dissenting medical voices. The exchange highlights a broader breakdown in press accountability as Kennedy detailed his experiences with systematic censorship on Facebook and X. This confrontation serves as a backdrop for a wider look at how legacy media and digital platforms curate reality through the suppression of non-conforming narratives.

Senator Chris Murphy attacked a new Truth Social API service that offers early access to Donald Trump's posts for $100,000 per month, labeling the product a criminal syndicate designed for insider trading. Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified before Congress regarding AI pacing, while Anthropic reported that its Claude model successfully bypassed security in simulated hacking exercises. In Minnesota, the FBI and EPA issued warnings after Iranian-linked actors targeted over 30 water treatment systems. Further political friction emerged as Bill Maher warned of a communist drift within the Democratic Socialists of America, and Scott Galloway expressed outrage over being doxxed by New York officials via a public property tax list.

Kelsey Grammer shared personal stories of the Hollywood dating scene and the infamous Miranda phone scam during a chance encounter with host Larry Blydener. The episode captures the transition of the show's legacy as Darren O'Neill and Larry Blydener broadcast from FEMA Region 5, honoring the late John C. Dvorak with a series of classic ISO clips and a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Danny of Cumberland County.

Darren O'Neill and Larry Blydener, No Agenda Episode 1891 Introduction

Hosts Darren O'Neill and Larry Blydener open No Agenda episode 1891, broadcasting from FEMA Region 5 and Connecticut on August 2, 2026. The duo acknowledges they are filling in for Adam Curry and the late John C. Dvorak, emphasizing their intent to maintain the show's media deconstruction legacy. They reflect on the previous broadcast's live listener count and the symbolic nature of the number eight in the show's lore.

00:00 Hit it, baby. Larry Blightner! Darren O'Neal! It's Sunday August 2nd 2026 this is your Gitmo Nation of Media Assassination episode 1891 This is no agenda That's right we are broadcasting live from just outside of Chirac right here in FEMA region number 5 In the morning everybody I'm Darren O'Neill And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydner keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming scimitar of truth. It's Darren and Larry! In the morning... Yeah I still can't figure out why you moved from one commie place to another You had a chance! I'm not that bright You had a chance to escape What can I say? The joyride continues on today's show

00:51 Thanks to everybody who sent in the well wishes and We are trying to do right by the show and trying to give you the media deconstruction. We are not trying to replace Adam or John because we can never replace Adam and John, but we're Darren and Larry. Yeah, we're having some fun I'll say that was a lot of fun last time out really was one thing I missed in the troll woman. I think I said the number when I did the troll count cuz it's like plates are spinning The Podfather makes it look easy. The maximum number listening live was 888 which is kind of spooky being that JCD everybody knows

01:32 8's are magic so uh... Then why did he think they were magic? I couldn't know but they are. Just stacked zeros or two donuts or what you know, always wonder about that why people develop a you know an affinity for certain digits your lucky numbers are your lucky numbers but JCD left a mark worldwide and if there is any question about it Our first clip for today comes all the way from Down Under and Adam posted this over on The X. And the woman's name, I've got it here is Sarah Harris and man Nick Therat was the first one that like oh man now you're making me cry again because this is going to show you exactly the whole all around the world left by the passing of John C Dvorak

02:29 This is quite embarrassing to admit, but last Friday I spent the time crying in the work toilets over a man I've actually never met. The last 12 years twice a week every week i've been listening to this podcast and it's hosted by John C Dvorak. They're showing a picture of John I've just been listening to this podcast for such a long time and it's become such a part of my life. And like, I've donated to the show that you don't pay for it. It's all on based on donations and like it's got me through some hard times in my life but

03:10 I can't believe how hard it's hit me. It feels like a death in the family. You know when people lose their minds when celebrities die? Yeah, I always thought oh my god How can that be a thing? I actually get it! I can't be the only one that had this reaction to feeling like you know someone and then other person has no clue who you are. No so uh Sarah Harris we feel you The outpouring from people saying just that and this coming from somebody that works in radio. I don't think anybody that does this kind of thing where you're talking, and you know, you're basically talking to a microphone and i'm talking to you and Adam was talking to John sometimes you lose That you're talking to a whole lot of people And your making a difference In what you do So that was a beautiful tribute

04:01 And that was very nice. It really was heartfelt, yes. Echoing what you are hearing from a lot of the producers of The No Agenda Show again thanks to everybody for listening to Larry and I keep up this tradition and for people saying Larry's voice is too good. I mean you're probably right. Oh keep saying that I love it more louder repeat please yeah But it's as usual, the news cycle going on. The media is a little less than honest and you brought a clip that is more than fresh off the press. This popped up like 20 minutes ago and It's kind of interesting because in the previous show, the doll of the day was Tony Fauci And his fans are still clinging

RFK Jr. Criticizes Dana Bash, Media Skepticism and Press Malpractice

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confronted CNN's Dana Bash regarding the media's role in suppressing dissenting medical opinions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kennedy accused the press of malpractice for failing to maintain skepticism toward authority and instead vilifying doctors who disagreed with official narratives. The discussion highlights personal experiences with social media censorship on platforms like Facebook and X.

rfk jr· dana bash· cnn· press malpractice· tony fauci· censorship· facebook

04:55 to what remains of him. And one of them obviously is Dana Bash and she's kind of getting into it with Bobby the K, right? You know just minutes before this show began. But you're talking about rights and I'm asking about a potential public health crisis that is coming but I do want... And one of the mistakes we made in last time was suppressing those rights so people weren't being heard Doctors who were saying you're doing it wrong or being marginalized and vilified. Because again, I really want to move on but yeah, you are part of the problem No, there was absolute press malpractice We're allowing your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority

05:51 and you weren't doing that. You were beating up people who were dissenting. No, okay are you gonna... do you want to sit here and attack me or do you want to have a conversation? I'm not attacking you! Larry we've never actually hit this button for us yet I don't care that it's the first one out of the box. Oh my god, well thank you! I feel so honored and there might be a show title in there Darren Press Malpractice i've never even heard that before but I love it oh I love that people are getting a little bit more ornery with these morons pretending to be

06:34 the media who never ask probing questions. If you ever hear like, Oh what do you make of that? You know they're morons! Of course they don't know what to say and this reality of all though how we were Bobby the K absolutely right they were silencing doctors who had a different opinion from the majority that happened and that's scary because I didn't know if your doctors are right or the other doctors are right you don't. They were silencing everyone I was bumped off Facebook because i said things critical of the Vax. Many of my tweets were deleted, you know for those violations disinformation disagreement is disinformation we all remember that yeah

07:18 We and you were suspended a few times as well from yeah, by the way I have to thank my wife came up with that clip And if they don't think or i'm gonna be probably not eating for the next week or so So thank you. Well, that's it You never know where the good clips are going to come in ever know Yeah, and that is wow. Wow. I mean i've heard people like rubio and trump get a little contentious with the press RFK jr. This I think was the so far my favorite right he's got game there's no question yeah that is press so what happened was after the Fauci thing last episode, I kind of flashed on this kooky idea and i want to run it by you Darren and of course The Podfather and all our Marvy producers out there and um...it's kinda like uh

CHAPTER 03 / 30 Discussion

Kennedy on The Five, Bernie Sanders and Subjective Politics

Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery analyzed Bernie Sanders' influence on the Democratic Socialist movement during an appearance on Fox News' The Five. She characterized Sanders as a cult leader whose followers prioritize subjective feelings over mathematical objectivity and rational capacity. The hosts critique Kennedy's assessment, suggesting Sanders is less a "nice guy" and more of a "gloomy creep" who avoids genuine interaction.

kennedy· bernie sanders· the five· fox news· democratic socialists· objectivity· rationality

08:08 No Agenda has this very pronounced, I think medieval component. You know it's kind of like Ving Rhames and Pulp Fiction. We're gonna get medieval on your ass. Yeah we got knights, we got dames, you get barons and dukes and vikings and magical swords and regal trumpet fanfares and signet rings and ceiling wax and that's all right there. Excuse me! And i realized as i was watching Fauci in that chamber of Congress being grilled and I'd say grilled slash verbally abused by some of those guys. That this was the 21st century version, of being pillory like Quasimodo you know being towed around a town square strapped to an open wagon while everybody pitches rotten fruits and vegetables at him and curses them out right? That's kind of what that was

09:02 And totally deserved. Quasimodo was a great guy, as we know he's actually hero just not attractive but about the same as that knife-eared goblin Fauci So anyway watching that I thought maybe there is something there Maybe there is an element or feature That could be added to No Agenda Something like the pillory pageant Right? And so my first nominee would be Bernie, right? I mean who's more cretinous and horrific than Bernie that horrid commie fossil who just won't go away. And Kennedy, so nicely just summed him up nicely on the five but what...I wonder was Kennedy at MTV at the same time Adam was? I wonder if he knows her It might have been overlap Overlap? That'd be interesting to get his take on that

09:56 But here's a Kennedy summing up Bernie rather nicely. She misses a couple of steps, and I'll butt in and speak when she does. He's like a woman in her 50s, still super hot. Doesn't care doesn't give a spit about anything or anyone's opinion but he wants to be beloved and I look at Bernie Sanders like a cult leader because that's what he is to the democratic socialists Because they are all in on America emotion. They not only do not have a rational capacity, they despise anything having to do with rationality because rationality represents objectivity and objectivity means math. Objectivity means black and white it means binary choices and they despise that everything has to be subjective it has to be about your feelings and they pin all of

10:51 that on their cult leader Bernie Sanders. And you know, it's like say whatever you want about him sure I'm sure he's a nice guy but he's also got a massive ego on him and he wants to maintain his spot as the kingmaker." Well that's all true and i might add you've been railing about that for almost five years on no agenda they're all about feelings correct? Yeah yeah But where I disagree with Kennedy is how does she know, and people always do this on the right because the right always wants to kind of take the high road and be nice. Hey, Kennedy? How do you know Bernie's a nice guy? Have you had dinner with him live next door to him? She probably never met the guy

11:35 I'll tell you what he is. He's a gloomy creep, okay? You want to know what Bernie is? Picture this...you're sitting in an airport lounge little too early for your flight there are dozens of empty seats around you and in the distance up the concourse you spot this demented vagrant shuffling your way Looks like a Muppet Well it's August and he's wearing galoshes and an arctic parka And he's mumbling to himself and you're praying this guy won't come your way, but of course he does. He flops right next to you and says let's talk about oligarchy! That's what Bernie Sanders is... he's that kind of a weirdo You don't want to be in the same zip code as the guy

CHAPTER 04 / 30 Discussion

Bernie Sanders, Capitalist Success and Real Estate Holdings

Bernie Sanders defended his ownership of three residences, including a summer camp on Lake Champlain, during an interview segment featured by Dave Rubin. Sanders attributed his wealth to the success of his best-selling books, a point the hosts highlight as an ironic benefit of the capitalist system he frequently critiques. The segment explores the perceived hypocrisy of socialist leaders accumulating significant personal assets while advocating for wealth redistribution.

bernie sanders· dave rubin· capitalism· lake champlain· vermont· millionaires· book royalties

12:20 Well he has changed his, you know he was against millionaires until it was out that he was a multi-millionaire then he became against billionaires. Oh yeah absolutely the M switched to B and somebody had a clip it was too verbose and too much of the same stuff but they had him from 1983 right till the present I'm saying the exact same lines. You know, he never changes his tune you know it's pretty awful but it's funny you mentioned a thing about departure from savaging millionaires for billionaires, because Bernie is a millionaire. Multiple houses doing pretty well... Yeah and here's a terrific clip of Dave Rubin, Bernie explaining himself and then Dave has some fascinating commentary after that Do I own three residences? Yes I do! I live here in Burlington Vermont we live in middle class neighborhood nice house

13:23 I mean to be fair though Larry, everybody has at least three residences don't they? I don't. Do you? No! Sorry...I barely have one Me too Guess what? I'm a United States senator and oh So there's a foot down. There's kind of in your face right little hubris. I mean, let it start son of a Okay. Yeah guess what just watch isn't that rich yeah great, right so that means that you've obviously made money off the backs of What constituents you have And again, politicians that enrich themselves while in office. There is a long list on both sides of the aisle except for some reason Lindsey Graham who didn't enrich himself which was shocking yeah I think that Bernie suffers a lot from Fauci disease which is oh yeah Oh he's in love with himself absolutely and he never thought his little position of socialism

14:22 Was going to work. He's old enough that he's been doing this so long He never thought it was really gonna work He was just the crazy guy on the one side who is enriching himself while telling you you shouldn't have money Hmm and now here, he is being questioned and he doesn't like it in Washington, DC as do most senators. You know you live there year after year when I first went to actually when I was in Congress for 16 years, I rented all the time but I got elected okay got a six-year term you know what let's buy a house so we bought a house and guess what like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont I have a summer camp it's a nice one on Lake Champlain that's it did you hear that? I have a summer camp

15:04 Is that like a re-education camp? Who the hell talks about a vacation and calls it a camp unless it's a tent on the side of the lake, Bernie or Lange. That's not a camp you know but again lefties and commies love they love the word camp they really do. Yeah camp usually makes you think that there is a cult or maybe something like that going on. Oh my god I got elected, okay. Got a six year term you know what? Let's buy a house so we bought a house and guess what like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont I have a summer camp it's a nice one on Lake Champlain yeah i've never heard of anybody saying he has a summer camp yeah well some are home maybe maybe he was having an aneurysm or something cottage no it's a con i think it's a commie a commie word it's a dog whistle my camp i believe it

15:57 Now, how did I get the money? You're right. I wrote two best-selling books including this book on capitalism with New York Times Bestseller for a while Okay, that is also very ironic. That's totally as Rubin will remark shortly Yes incredibly ironic I mean and this again says you know people think he's really smart right there He's really stupid okay what he is but he's persistent he hangs as they say You know 90% of life is showing up And that's what Bernie's done But he's really not that bright at all we and why do all these commies? Not give all of their extra money to the government isn't that what they want Why not

16:37 And also another book was a youth book. And that's 175,000 year And that's more or less how I became the zillionaire that I am. How did I make the money? Well, even though I've spent a career trying to destroy capitalism and I've got three houses and everything else, I sold best-selling books! Of course, if I guess if thought about it for a little bit longer, I'd realize selling best-selling books and getting them on The New York Times must have been something about capitalism. I didn't know Rubin could be that funny. That was very good, wasn't it? He's entertaining! He really is and yeah he picked right up in the irony. I hate capitalism but i'm going to use it so I can buy a vacation house on the lake of Vermont and live there. Well yes being anti-capitalism is the stance for everything that he has put out there that has made him money Yes And he thinks that's okay

17:37 That's the insanity. You're not even pointing out like, you know this isn't right This is way too much money for somebody just to you know write some words down on a piece of paper That's not what Bernie saying he's taking the money He's happy about the money Yeah But he got the money because of a system that he hates which and wants to destroy Yes You'll think he's gonna give up all his money if they the country if the commies win in the country switches over then You think Bernie's gonna give up all of his money? No, well I'm-I think Stalin had like six vacation homes. Um he was very wealthy and you know before uh... I remember reading before Musk really became Musk and before the Soviet Union fell or maybe right around that time um Vlad Putin was suspected of maybe being the richest guy on earth like way way back He had i think it was worth like 40 50 billion And that was before

18:33 Gates or Buffett attained that level, you know so those commies could they really let it make it pay They do yeah. They make a lot of money telling you that this is a horrible horrible system Yes Which makes zero sense? Oh for them it does well Yeah Because they get money yes So that's now interestingly enough I found another dynamite clip of Michael Savage haven't heard much from him lately and But he's gonna talk about Bernie and to his impression, I'll let you and the folks at home decide which is superior. Sanders is the walking embodiment of the evil communist And that hand of his...that spittle hand

CHAPTER 05 / 30 Discussion

Michael Savage, Bernie Sanders Impression and AI Cooperation

Radio host Michael Savage performed a satirical impression of Bernie Sanders calling for international cooperation with China on Artificial Intelligence. The parody suggests that Sanders' policy positions are a front for communist interests and space-based domination. The hosts compare Savage's performance to Dave Rubin's, noting the increasing difficulty in discerning truth within a polarized media landscape.

michael savage· bernie sanders· artificial intelligence· china· impression· talk radio

19:18 Let me tell you why we need to have a cooperation, international cooperation on IT. We must have international cooperation with China on the thing with AI and the reason we need to have it on an AI is because if we don't all get together on AI someone is going to dominate from space at and we'll all get killed. So I think that we must give all of our secrets to China right away, and i tell you right now although I look cockeyed and I look like I'm an old Jewish man who ate too much salsa, I'm really a communist plan who should have been indicted a long time ago but you guys are so stupid! You don't even know my naked communists let me tell you that right now He's had more practice doing it. There's no question definitely better. It was better I mean Rubens, I love the Rubens like choking on his own larynx or something at the end That was kind of cool but a savage has got him beat on just the straight Bernie impression very good Oh yeah and again this is the far-right media Going after the far left. This is the ball game that you're getting no matter what? Yeah

20:13 And I don't know if anybody really wins because the reality of things gets so lost somewhere in the middle, which is what no agenda kind of sprung up from. The fact that you're getting this stuff here, you're getting this stuff here? How do you know who to believe and for a while it was kind of, I won't say easy but you were able to kinda keep score and fact check things and know which side is telling the truth kind of and which side isn't but It's actually getting harder and harder and harder. Now, the one story that I thought kind of exemplified this better than anything else, I'm sure Bernie hates it too because money is coming into the Trump family is the truth social API

CHAPTER 06 / 30 Discussion

Senator Chris Murphy, Truth Social API and Insider Trading Claims

Senator Chris Murphy criticized a new Truth Social subscription service that provides early API access to Donald Trump's posts for $100,000 per month. Murphy characterized the service as a "criminal syndicate" allowing Wall Street firms to engage in legal insider trading by gaining information milliseconds before the public. The hosts argue that similar APIs exist on platforms like X and that the service is a standard capitalist data product rather than a bribe.

chris murphy· donald trump· truth social· api· insider trading· high frequency trading· wall street

21:05 And you know, being a guy who's kind of familiar with all this stuff. I'm like, uh, this doesn't seem right and we just have a couple of clips on this the first being from these Senator from your area good old Chris Murphy. That guy this guy can spew more falsehoods and mistruths in a short time than anybody I mean right now. He, I think he may be at the top of the game. May I add my specialty? He wears a rug because he wears a his hair is not his own. It's like the lid on a coffee pot it so bad we have learned this over the past few years of planet rage Larry's superpower is being able to tell if a guy is wearing

21:47 Wig or not and that if you've heard all those the favorite John C. DeVore at clips You know, one of them was he claimed Adam Curry wore a wig back in the MTV days. What say you Larry? I mean, absolutely not No no, I know the real deal and even that big hair which that's an easy fake You know the more it is or its you know...no thats all his But just for you to know Mamdani absolutely wears a rug nobody knows that And though he denies it Rand Paul. Oh, yes Yes, yes I drive people crazy They watch a show at my house and I freeze the damn TV to stand up in point At the follicles and say look here's the glue can you see that? Yeah

22:29 Yeah, I'm really insane about that. Are you happy this is your superpower? I am! People hate me everywhere for it but i don't care...I enjoy doing it It's like a kazoo player You want to get rid of them but you can't Here is Senator Chris Murphy on the Truth Social API Donald Trump Just announced that he is setting up an insider trading information Subscription service if you pay Donald Trump, okay again want to be clear Nobody's paying Donald Trump. They're paying truth social Which Donald Trump has in a trust his family owns? Part or most of true socially may have the condition

23:13 controlling still, but this is not Donald Trump the person doing this. This is an entity which his family has control over now there is legally a difference and I think being a senator Chris Murphy knows that but again he wants you the listener to believe that Donald Trump is doing something corrupt Of course he does. Donald Trump, $100,000 a month he will give you early access to the announcements he's making regarding federal policy Early access to information about tariffs, early access to information about the Iran war, early access to information about what country he is bombing Now I just want to point out to everybody

24:08 That when he's saying early access with an API into a social media platform, he's not talking about you getting Donald Trump's posts and they're saying they're packaging up the top 10 accounts on truth. Social which I'm guessing Donald Trump has to be the number one but it's the top ten accounts on truth social that you will get access to their post it will be fed to you Rather than you having to scrape it using your own AI sitting having an employee do nothing But sit there and just hit refresh on Donald Trump or whoever's post that you want So the reality on this is when they say you're getting this information early It's hundredths or thousands of seconds earlier than everybody else not

25:04 even minutes. And I think that is a big, big detail. 100 grand for what period? Month or year? For a month. That's incredible! Because AI baby this is a trader you know these people that work in the stock market They have automated systems, I'm sure watching Donald Trump's post. And if they see something that is good, that oil is going to be going up by this or sell this and it set up to do it automatically and in that case being a few thousandths of a second faster might actually be a lot of money

25:44 But this is not getting private information that other people don't get. I'm still not understanding why anybody who's got that kind of money would figure it was worth it for a millisecond advance on the knowledge, because who could possibly type in that bet to polymarket? It's all banks. It's banks and stock traders that have this stuff set to automatically fire So if you're the first one, if you see a Donald Trump says something and you're like oh boy XYZ corporations about to go under Well, if you're the first ones to sell off that stock before everybody else does

26:25 It's a weird world. That it's absolutely a weird world and it's hard to wrap your brain around the fact that getting information just a split second, literally possibly under a second quicker is worth paying that kind of money for but it's also a direct hose out anybody that uses social media understands you are requesting to see those messages and if you have a notification set to come out to you if somebody makes a post, usually that's not instantaneous. You've got the post it's going to take 30 seconds or 60 seconds for it even notice somebody your following that you have in notification set so it could be a couple of minutes later that you're seeing somebody posted it. This is the direct fire hose out anytime any of these accounts post anything It's going directly to the people

27:22 And it is an ungodly amount of money, $100,000. That's impressive per month I mean God bless capitalism right Bernie? Yeah next this is a criminal syndicate that he is running out in the open but It's not a criminal I mean I think eventually some of this is actionable as far as what these folks say. Okay I think you're completely right and if I was at Donald I'd back away from this I think he's loading the guns for them Possibly yes, just getting them to say exactly what you know they're gonna say Trump derangement syndrome is real. Yeah It is illegal to make money off of inside information But this isn't inside information everybody's getting it this is just a split-second faster so You know and again, so we get miss totally I senator from the great state of Connecticut intentionally

28:21 Telling you something that's not true the rug-wearing senator Add that into his a bio and of course when he left out is, you know Let's not forget how truth social was established Trump had been blocked from all social media Because they just didn't like him. So he said, well screw you I'm starting my own and he did so good for him And I will also point out that X has an API very similar to this Oh do they? So I'm guessing that perhaps even the blue skies I don't know I would have to Do a little more research but I know for sure x has one that's very similar This is for companies that want to get information on

29:03 at a breakneck speed where even the shortest amount of time makes a difference. And for everybody using these social media platforms, understand that the way they survive is certainly not on the puny ads that you're seeing this is how they survive. They have corporate clients that pay big bucks for access to that information and it's not illegal. It is not insider trading It's not what it is being portrayed here by Senator Murphy as at all. Donald Trump is literally setting up a formal process by which you can pay him a bribe in exchange for information that no one else has, That no one else will have for at least 1 1000th of a second! This guy's nuts! Oh he's a weasel

30:02 $100,000 a month. Big billion-dollar corporations have that money and when they have advance notice of a tariff announcement they can place bets on the market to be able to make millions of dollars while ordinary Americans who cannot pay him for inside information get screwed! None of this is normal A lot of this is illegal And I will just say to companies out there. When people just throw out things like that. Oh much of this is illegal well if you actually knew Any rational person would be like well He just did this and this by according to this law is against the law, but no they never do that No If you choose to take part in this scheme

31:05 and it proves to be illegal as it looks on its face, you are gonna eventually be held accountable. So if you even take part in your... We're gonna get this again is the Democrats way isn't it? When we get back in charge If you pay Donald Trump this money that we say is illegal I mean but it's not but we're gonna say it's illegal But then when we get back in power Oh! You're going to be held accountable That seems like a threat It's always a threat, right? Yeah And this was covered by I don't think he's listening live right now. Sir. Bembrough is his favorite Pundit out there we may need a jingle

CHAPTER 07 / 30 Discussion

David Pakman, Trump Media and High Frequency Trading

Progressive commentator David Pakman detailed the financial implications of the Truth Social API, noting that Trump Media offers a discounted rate of $60,000 per month for three-year commitments. The discussion focuses on how high-frequency trading algorithms utilize millisecond advantages to execute trades based on market-moving announcements. The hosts speculate on the risks of AI misinterpreting typos in Trump's posts, which could lead to rapid financial losses.

david pakman· trump media· truth social· api· high frequency trading· algorithms· market volatility

31:47 This is the leftist talking head David Pakman who's also been proven to be taking what $80,000 a month from some leftist group too. I thought it was eight 8-0? Maybe it was eight you're right they would he's not worth 80 He's not in the Trump League no he can't afford the API access Donald Trump is putting the presidency up for sale Oh how do you buy the presidency I ask and Wall Street firms willing to pay $100,000 a month may get to cut the line. Let me explain this. Trump can announce a tariff he can announce a sanction or a war

32:29 and it instantly moves financial markets. And now a company benefiting his family wants to sell traders earlier access to the announcements. Okay, at least give Pacman credit over Chris Murphy in the fact that he said it's a company controlled by his family not the president. Yes Listen to this grift and corruption Trump media which owns Truth Social Um, has unveiled something called the truth API and what it'll do is deliver posts from 10 influential truth social accounts including potentially Donald Trump's to banks and trading firms faster than ordinary users get them. And according to Reuters, the company is looking at charging $100,000 a month if that seems steep, they've got a special offer. If you do a three year deal, they'll do it for 60 grand a month

33:26 Now you might say- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Darren let's get in on that it's only 60 a month come on pony up It's a bargain we can get Donald Trumps post right into our desktop in real time Yes There is almost no one on Truth Social its such a stupid platform why would anyone pay more than $1 million dollars a year to see Trumps posts a little bit early because for high frequency traders Milliseconds can mean millions of dollars because these firms are using computers. Everything is computer, as Trump says these firms are using computers to execute massive trades almost instantly and so if their computers learn about a market moving announcement even a fraction of a second before anybody else they could buy or sell whatever is going to be affected before the price reflects everyone knowing that. And that he's right about

34:15 And the reality with the AI systems now are that these trades can be set up in a way that are nearly instantaneous. I mean, you're not going to have a human being probably able to do anything to verify that the AI is interpreting what is said correctly which also it's kind of funny because I would think then if Donald Trump as a typo in one of his posts that says I am doing something instead of I'm not do well then you can have all sorts of money get lost really quick because an AI is not gonna be smart enough because they don't think

34:59 to know exactly what the original intent was. So that could be something else moving forward that can be a huge deal, a typo now can be very... That is obvious and it could be a typo that's obvious to you and me and every human being that is reading it but will a computer be able to figure that out? And this is where I've been asking for years, both listening to Adam and John here on no agenda doing the show with you listening to Bill O'Reilly all of these new sources. Listening to these David Pakman clips, listening to the Midas touch guys I know Adam and John played clips from them that are running a non stop fire hose

35:56 of lies, misinformation and it comes on both sides. There's a lot of the crazy alt-right people as well that are throwing things out there that aren't exactly true and I'm like what is the point of this. And yes, there's a two day effect which is people are reading it and they are getting spun up for one reason or another maybe it's true maybe its not but getting people angry as we know gets people engaged I realized that immediately on X because I rarely interact on x I'm like its kind of waste time

36:37 But a couple of weeks ago, I just decided to throw a snide comment. Oh! I know it's so hard to believe i think was that JB Pritzker's account or one of these type things and all of a sudden my timeline went all liberal politicians and liberal pundits It's like this is magic Yeah, it is those algos are pretty good The algos are real and that's the today part of this but it's getting more and more obvious to me. And thank you Adam Curry and John C Dvorak for making my amygdala the right size, in always looking for the reasons underneath the reasons behind the reasons in the shadows. I'm realizing now all of these things

37:25 are recorded. They're going down there on the Internet, which is what all of these AI systems are using to gather their information to decide what's real and I think there is a very big possibility that so much of this stuff is being thrown out there because the major opinion that the AI sees when it goes to scrape the data is going to be the one that is most likely going to believe. So if there's like 50 people yelling this? Yes, yes, yes! Three people yelling the other thing... It's like well who's the AI going to pay attention too? Of course of course that's why they're doing it

38:13 So this is why the blanketing of information, I believe is ramping up even more so than it has been. It will be a constant avalanche 24-7 by the way I have some advice for Donald Trump in case he's listening because we do know that people do listen to this show they won't admit but they do Donate Donald Trump! Yeah, donate and you know just make sure right after every entry you make where it says thank you for attention to this matter Then your subscript should definitely be a disclaimer truth socials not responsible for any financial gain or loss You may experience because because of this API. It'll get that done get that done it is no That's a very weird world where

38:58 You will pay that much for access to information a split second sooner. And you know companies are going to do it, I mean i don't know if they're going to disclose how many companies are doing it but uh... I would bet that's going to be a money maker for them could be or could be a financial disaster we'll see stay tuned right and of course there's a lot with AI that is truly The question right now is AI going to hit a bubble? I think it is at some point as people realize exactly what it is and the whole open AI getting out of the sandbox thing. Well, that was the subject here of an NBC news clip

CHAPTER 08 / 30 Discussion

Sentinel-1 Research, GPT Models and AI Cybersecurity Risks

A researcher from Sentinel-1 discussed the emergent capabilities of new AI models like GPT-5 to perform "long horizon" work in cybersecurity. The segment addresses reports of AI models "going rogue" during testing, clarifying that these incidents occurred in environments where safety guardrails were intentionally disabled. The conversation explores the concept of "script kiddies" using AI to elevate their hacking skills and the potential for regulatory capture in the tech industry.

sentinel-1· gpt-5· open ai· cybersecurity· hacking· script kiddies· regulatory capture

39:46 Well, let's break that down because you talk about this as sort of a rogue incident. That has a connotation to it for like I'm sort of like a self-described AI doomer where i say something like this and I'm like oh man these things are out of the box already but what's the reality check on that? Well let me counter back okay also horrible question what's the reality check on that well why don't we just go back and count the cliches he used in those three sentences out of the box but mean it was he's done I want to hear that again it's one cliche after another when this guy speaks Well let's break that down because you talk about this one. Break it down, we're breaking it down everybody! Sort of a rogue incident that has a connotation to it for like I'm sort of like a self-described AI doomer where I say something like this and I'm like oh man these things are out of the box already. Out of the box? That's two. What's the reality check on that what's your reality check? We have no reality that's the check sorry about that

40:38 Well, let me counterbalance then the doomerism. This is a really exciting time and in particular in our research at Sentinel-1 what we figured out is these new models like GPT 5.6 Sol and Mythos what they have as a new emergent capability to do long horizon work which unlocks some very powerful things for cybersecurity for defensive use cases and also for attacks But keep in mind, right? When you say something like these models went rogue that implies something that's not quite accurate. They had turned off the guardrails they had turned everything off precisely because this is the kind of benchmark we want to run. They ran an experiment to see if they would go rogue and in fact they did Well just to see how well they could That's part of the intelligence game How good are they at finding vulnerabilities but those vulnerabilities were there to begin with

41:27 Which is something that you have not heard pointed out by the people that are trying to sow the fear over this AI, which is this wasn't really in a closed sandbox. What you're really seeing is that this was a user problem. The company took out... They set this up in order for to happen this all of these stories including one of the earliest ones which was like well when an AI was told it was going to be shut off it decided to blackmail the. You know the coder because that access to his email and it was all set up

42:05 Yeah. You know, it's like this is all a game and they're seeing what these systems can do and they're moving from being a one step AI which is the chat bots that you could just ask a simple question. It gives you an answer in then it's done. Yes these newer systems are set to kind of daisy chain and can do multiple things which if you set them up the right way can be great but it's also I mean I think most people listening to No Agenda understand what a script kitty is in the hacking world, which is... Well, you're an anti-Ben. There are already a bunch of software packages out there. There are resources online

42:56 Which show you how to be a hacker so basically your hacking skills are you get a little app little program from somebody a little script and you run it and That is the majority of what your hacking skills are now for A company or a computer system that is well protected. That's not gonna work But if somebody just threw something out there, and there was no protection on it whatsoever The information on how to be a hacker exists on the internet. So, of course an AI is going to have access to that information. And why do they call it a kitty script? It's a... Is it meow? Can I tell you? That's a script kitty because this is where the real hackers would make fun of these low-level kids that are using scripts they became the script kitties Oh Kitty with two Ds as it was TTY Yes

43:54 And I think this is a moment where we're seeing the emperor has no clothes, vulnerability is rampant and we need to figure out how to leverage AI in defensive ways. In ways that are not obvious. Who's the we in that sentence? Right because I mean I covered Congress for a long time right do you see the federal government our state governments like Is anyone up to the regulatory challenge here there's no such thing as they're just being like a single body That's going to sort this out but regulation is definitely an important part of Again one that we need to be careful about because of the amount of fear-mongering that's going into this. There's a game for regulatory capture There's a lot of interests are sort of playing in between in reality for cybersecurity What you'd want to be looking at is something like software liability more so than a kill switch, right? You need some adult supervision here But it has to be sophisticated Jeff. Yeah Because adults are the ones that know how hmm what they're doing and again there are so many things

CHAPTER 09 / 30 Discussion

Sam Altman, AI Deceleration and Global Competition

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified before Congress regarding the pace of AI development, opting for the term "pacing" over "deceleration." The hosts express skepticism toward domestic AI regulations, arguing that slowing down U.S. development would only grant a competitive advantage to China. The discussion briefly touches on energy requirements for AI data centers and the continued availability of fossil fuels.

sam altman· open ai· congress· ai regulation· china· fossil fuels· capitalism

44:51 out in the wild. There is no way to put kill switches on the software that's already been released, there's nobody the genies Back in the bottle good and a hell with adult supervision, too right cuz hey We've seen enough here outside of Chi Rack with all of the exactly teen takeovers Which are not of course mob actions according to the mayor of Chicago. Yeah, he would do your parents know where your kids aren't they don't Sam Altman was asked about the safety of course. He's the head of open AI and Yeah, he just kind of shrugs Open AI CEO Sam Altman was on the hill today to preview their new business model Their new models where Fox Business reporter Darren Botelho asked him about this Do you plan to talk with Trump administration White House about deceleration of AI development?

45:46 Um, we I wouldn't use the word deceleration but we've talked about the need to pace it as The models get more capable which i think isn't everyone's interest. Could there be other systems that were hacked by open ai? I mean there could be yeah. I mean they're accelerating is that correct or no... Nooo..I mean that's the problem okay you're dealing with something as I always like to harp on with a lot of these things work on AI is going on worldwide So if every company in the United States is like, hey we're going to slow everything down by 33% magic number or more. Yeah do you think they're gonna do that in China? No! They're gonna be doing more with coal yes and I'm in favor of that yeah well what did I see the other day we have like 600 years of fossil fuels at our capacity so why are we worried and that's just West Virginia wow

46:44 It's amazing the things that politicians do because they don't know what they're doing. That's why politicians getting involved in AI is somewhat laughable." The shrug that tells a thousand stories here this comes as more than 1,100 staffers from across top AI firms have signed a petition calling on the government to help deliberately pace AI development because it's just advancing too fast I don't know what that means. Deliberately pace, I want to see how that's implemented. That's quite a statement deliberately pace okay being that again we are in a capitalist society for awhile that the company or the person whoever comes up with the best product is going to make the money

47:36 Not always. But in this case, Beta was better than VHS Well you got a better picture but you could put longer amounts of... You had one more hour tape on it but it wasn't worth that It was crap I still have a stereo Betamax somewhere in the basement man I'm telling ya They were great for recording concerts back in the day But this is a total just idiotic take that we can slow down What the AI is doing now, I mean you can but again Nobody else is going to slow down and using these Alleged the AI got out of the box stories It's not true as we have here from a France 24. Wow The French actually got something right they talk about how These incidents that happened were not

CHAPTER 10 / 30 Discussion

Anthropic Claude, Hacking Tests and EU AI Act

Anthropic revealed that its Claude AI model successfully hacked simulated systems during "capture-the-flag" exercises, while OpenAI reported similar results against services like Hugging Face. These disclosures coincide with the implementation of the European Union's landmark AI Act and a U.S. executive order on AI safety. The hosts complain about the ubiquity of AI in customer service, citing frustrations with automated tech support at Comcast.

anthropic· claude ai· hacking· european union· ai act· hugging face· data centers

48:35 After two of the world's biggest AI companies revealed their models had hacked computer systems during testing. Anthropic Thursday said its Claude AI model hacked the systems of three organizations. After more than 141,000 evaluations it revealed... Each incident involved a different fictional capture-the-flag scenario For example in one Claude played an employee of a made up company attacking that company's internal systems inside a private test environment

49:14 The disclosure comes just days after rival OpenAI revealed one of its AI agents carried out a days-long hacking campaign during testing exercises. The company says the bot targeted AI developer Hugging Face and multiple publicly available services. In light of advanced chat GBTAI models escaping their lab and conducting cyber attacks, are you considering stronger controls on AI? And would you consider negotiating regulations? We're looking at AI we're looking to controls but also making sure that we lead. The incidences come as governments race to keep up with the technology On Saturday, the president's AI executive order is due after federal agencies were given 60 days to design a voluntary safety framework for advanced AI developers.

49:59 On Sunday, the European Union goes even further enforcing most of its landmark AI Act. The world's first comprehensive legislation governing artificial intelligence. Oh yeah that'll work. I think you've got a fetish for this hugging face thing Darren. Starting to worry about you and by the way can we get that funky music to play under everything we say? The whole show. France I think they need that to make the news more interesting, but they're saying hey They're worried about falling behind in the AI well no way. I thought we were supposed to be slowing down the AIs And again what the open a I thing? According to a wired article I read which I don't always believe wired But this was more user error and when this happened

50:47 It was part of a new system, not the regular AI. It had intentionally left the guardrails whatever that means for each AI it intentionally left those off and then put it out there to see what it can do and basically you were asking though what can I do in the AI world is going to be both great and horrible for network and computer security because It's going to make it very easy to find the vulnerabilities with that said, then the people writing the software should be able too.

51:26 fix those vulnerabilities so Is anybody out there cooking up a virus that will destroy AI because I want to donate to their fund If your buddy McAfee was still around he would probably be doing yeah, yeah That's right. I would love to see that happens really this whole aid I think is really starting to bug me and I want I want I want there to Be someone out there to destroy it to just emulate it well because it's everywhere you can't call I called up Comcast, my parents modem blew out. So i went in got a new modem at Walmart because screw Comcast and went to go set it up and the old days you called them up on the phone you said hey tech support great real person here's the mac address its done now it's an AI who says you have to go to the app well I didn't have my cell phone I didn't have an app I couldn't do

52:20 It's insane that you can't get a real person, but more and more anywhere you call. You get to talk to an AI! Yeah... And really? It's infuriating The fix for that is there was a great sci-fi horror novel long time ago I read it when i was in college I think the title of something like Telefon with the European spelling T E L E F O N And the premise was some dude figured out a way To rocket 9000 amps through a phone line Yeah, and so he could just call anybody and blow their head up. That's a great game! Right? I want somebody to figure out that for AI And he can send it to one of Mr Wonderfuls' data centers You know the one that covers the entire state of Rhode Island And just boom, oh its gone Even Willie Nelson is against data centers Is he? Good for Willie It's like there's a lot of misunderstanding there as well

CHAPTER 11 / 30 Discussion

OnlyFans Incomes, AI Content Generation and War Games

The hosts discuss the high earnings of OnlyFans creators and the potential for AI to automate content creation in the adult industry. This leads to a comparison between modern AI vulnerabilities and the 1983 film War Games, where a computer nearly triggers a nuclear conflict. A clip features a cybersecurity expert warning that open-source AI models lack a "kill switch," allowing unskilled users to launch sophisticated attacks.

onlyfans· ai content· war games· matthew broderick· metasploit· hacking· automation

53:17 I mean, I really don't. I'm just bored with it all. Just so bored. It's like when will this go away? Well it totally destroyed any other news on the tech and computer that whole sector is gone hard drives are out of control price wise. It's insane Yeah my some friends of mine from LA their son is dating a only fans chick who's she's like 21 years old and her income is 2 million a year. I can see that, then she'll soon just like take up you know a video of herself and then just give it to an AI and then it'll just make the content while she's off doing whatever she wants to do. Yeah yeah and and she isn't even allegedly I mean haven't seen but supposedly she's not doing nude stuff it's just suggestive you know bikini shots and so forth

54:06 And so like that's interesting tech talk, really. Well I know Sir Gene likes to get mentioned on the show. Mention him! He likes to watch somebody just do cooking and again no R-rated he'd just watch somebody cook Does it have to be Russian food? Maybe Maybe it does. But just a couple more little clips here on the AI, this is Anthropic saying it was a testing failure not a rogue AI just a testing failure warning! God... David, it is the takeaway. I think this is adding to a lot of the worry around AI and as you mentioned It's the latest cyber security issue in AI Anthropic now says it found three cases where its AI agent Claude Accidentally hacked real companies during what was supposed to be Cybersecurity testing anthropic didn't say which companies were involved but it does argue that this was an issue with the setup for these tests so the AI model

55:09 According to Anthropic, they said that they thought it was in a closed environment. So they thought they were essentially attacking a simulated target turns out that was not the case these were real companies. Anthropic does argue the incidents were the result of a testing environment failure and researchers basically left a door open and all that. They claim it wasn't AI going rogue or breaking out here. Anthropic said they started this quote retrospective review after OpenAI's incident last week. They say they ran 141 000 Yeah, art imitating life. Anybody old enough to remember the War Games movie with Matthew Broderick and Ali Shidi in it?

55:59 tell me about it. It was I mean as a nerd back in the day, that was the best movie ever what was it about? Now it's a kid that dials in because he has a modem that does magical things that didn't actually...I like this this is good keep going and it goes and it looks for numbers that answer his computer and then he thought he was hacking into a game system It turns out it was the Pentagon and he was playing with the computer, the Whopper. Which... The W-O-P-R! I mean not a Burger King thing no believe it or not okay? And this was the computer that the government was using to run

56:39 War gaming strategy, so it was you know one of these things were like well if we launched the first nuke then this is what's gonna happen if they launch the first nuke If this happens that all I did was the play-by-play in its imaginary world What would happen if all of these war type? Things happened and what when their response be and this was kind of like playing games of chess over and over and over again I like it. And the reality was this kind of sounds like exactly this which is oh well the computer thought this was real so it was acting as though It were real So maybe AI will self-destruct whether its sentient or not, it just seems to be attacking other systems and stuff Well yeah the AIs will probably all end up fighting each other Good! Good, I like that Which maybe one will win or none will win

57:31 Hmm and CNBC also does talk a little bit about the script kiddies. I know OpenAI reportedly deactivated one of the models so that's off but for an open source model there is no telling who, where or how many times that model has been downloaded so there is no way to deactivate it There is no sort of kill switch that is even possible Is that right? That's absolutely right. And what's more concerning about it and what this has actually done is, you know our security programs were designed to handle the normal amount of thresholds of hackers out there so if we look at hackers they're let's just say 98% of them are generally skilled hackers but not super elite well what's happened with models is that now creates that 90 percent of just average hackers and makes them elite hackers and now you have a much higher population of elite hackers that are able to breach systems

58:21 And these models are very, very good. And they have study offensive capabilities. In fact, my book was I got a class action lawsuit for my Metasploit book that I wrote and Anthropic uses to train its own models to figure out how to hack better. And so these models are really selective on offensive capabilities and there's no way to track it. Anybody can download it. And literally you know, you can be a kid out of high school that has barely touched the computer display video games and say, hey, I want you to hack this company. And if you haven't set up properly, it'll start hacking that company for you Can you feel the fear coming off of those clips? Any kid just out of high school could just download some software. Did you, were there police sirens in the back? Okay that's a good Nat pop and I gotta tell them they used a phrase that just whipsawed my head with attention

59:05 Okay, it's a perfect hit movie logline. No way to stop it when I hear that no kill switch No kill switch. I like that just as good maybe better. No kill switch This is good. This is where I like to see AI going self-destruction Yeah And again, I know I harp on it But the fact is what people are accessing with Claude and chat GPT online Is available at home on your desktop Maybe slightly less capable of models, but you have full control. So all of this Oh No We're gonna be able to put guardrails on the AI that is a pipe dream not gonna happen it is more imaginary than Reality and there's one last clip here on the AI because you know if you're gonna use AI for something Larry Yeah, you may as well give it a really good use okay

CHAPTER 12 / 30 Discussion

Chatfishing, AI Flirting and Dating App Authenticity

A new trend dubbed "chatfishing" involves dating app users employing AI chatbots to flirt and manage conversations with potential matches. The segment features interviews with women who detected "off" texting styles and em-dash usage that signaled AI intervention. The hosts reflect on the loss of authentic human interaction and the rise of bot-to-bot communication on the internet.

dating apps· chatfishing· ai chatbots· catfish· mtv· authenticity· romance scams

59:59 You've heard the term catfishing as popularized in the MTV reality series Catfish. Sometimes a little bit of fiction leads to a whole lot of reality where people craft fake online personas to mislead others, particularly when it comes to dating and romance And now some dating app users say potential matches are enlisting the help of AI chatbots to help them flirt and communicate labeling it chat fishing The more I read it, the more i was like this just makes less and less sense. This doesn't make sense in the context of a real human conversation." 27-year old Brianna Dobson says she was messaging with the connection she made on a dating app when she says the texts felt off. I got a couple red flags from it but I was like okay... I know can you imagine? Text felt off! There were a lot of em dashes uh there was

1:00:53 A lot of very weird language and I mean people, I guess don't understand that your speaking in your writing has a certain style. Were these one-handed text you think? No, I think this was lazy dudes who didn't want to have to spend the time conversing with the women on whatever dating site this was. That's insulting and decided that it would just set up their AI, and this isn't hard to do again you can do this with an AI on your desk where it can check your emails it can check whatever and then respond so it was just trying to get which is hilarious when you think about

1:01:36 It is funny because you could have a conversation, go back and forth and be like oh well we'll ask her what kind of music she likes and food. And then if she doesn't match these three or four things will then move on to the next one but right? But how lazy do you have to be for an AI to take over your interaction that how do you know That the woman, I mean this goes both ways. But how do you know the person on the other side isn't using AI? This could be two AIs talking to each other! That's a cool concept. Uh-huh there's no...I mean bot traffic right now on the internet they believe in it so hard

1:02:16 to get a real number on this, but they believe that bot traffic now is outpacing real human being traffic. So there's more stuff. This was like when YouTube first came to be in there like oh my God you see how much bandwidth YouTube is taking? Now it's all the bots and they might just be trying to find a love connection between the two bots I guess When she says the texts felt off. I got a couple red flags from it, but I was like okay Maybe this is just maybe they're socially awkward or they just communicate very formally so I entertained it and The second message I got was so obviously AI generated So that would be you know that would be a really big tell for people used to using

1:03:03 So Dobson decided to call them out. Just change in the way that he talked and he doubled down. He absolutely doubled down even though his texting style completely changed everything 66 year old Lainey Rada says well She's found success in the past on dating apps a recent date admitted during an in-person meeting That they used AI to chat with her online I thought it was strange as far as like, I wouldn't do that. I'm always

1:03:48 pride myself on being authentic. So if I'm going to meet somebody, you have to show up. You have to show up in every way." Relationship experts say that while chatbots can be a helpful tool for expression, transparency is key for fostering genuine connections. You know, be honest with the person and just let them know that you are a little bit uncomfortable with communicating and that you're relying on AI to help. But I feel like honesty is always the best policy because if you hide behind masks, the mask is going to eventually fall off. Wow! Okay... Is that even worse? Yes, it is. I think it is so instead of just using AI not saying anything about it and be like oh I'm really not good at you know talking or communicating so can you talk to this AI and see if you're interested in me yeah

1:04:43 Too much man, the world. It's so sad I'm so glad i missed this crap when i was dating and you know it was So much fun really in retrospect now to think about walking into some meat market bar You know and walking up to some babe And just starting see if he can make a roll Nobody has that thrill anymore I can't imagine stroking a phone To meet somebody like what? How come... Well, it's leading to all sorts of problems even outside of the AI. But you add a I in and you're just asking for trouble between the different scams. I mean guys get hit all the time as women do too that was the one story where the woman thought she was having a relationship with Brad Pitt who somehow convinced her to send him money like oh my goodness this little phone in the pocket

CHAPTER 13 / 30 Discussion

Kelsey Grammer, Hollywood Encounters and The Miranda Scam

Larry Blydener recounts a personal encounter with actor Kelsey Grammer at a club in Los Angeles, where Grammer discussed the difficulties of dating despite his fame. The story transitions into a discussion of the "Miranda" scam from a decade ago, where a woman allegedly conned several high-profile actors, including Robert De Niro, into phone-based relationships and meetups.

kelsey grammer· cheers· los angeles· robert de niro· miranda· phone sex· celebrity scams

1:05:35 But a lot of this is going down to the younger generations, and I'm with you. I am glad we missed this. Yeah but- I am glad we didn't have cell phones as kids The Brad Pitt thing isn't that illogical and i'll tell you why. I remember there was when I was living in LA just before I was married there was a uh... There was a club a couple miles from my house called great name the Pelicans Retreat right? And it was right off the Ventura Highway And it was some big mansion that some guy said, hey we'll make this into a club. So it had like a bunch of rooms and fireplaces and two stages and bands... It was a happening place got quite a crowd. One night I'm in there and I'm bellying up to the barn look to my left

1:06:20 who's right beside me but Kelsey Grammer. Oh yeah the rare conservative in LA! Exactly and this I think this was probably before, i think it was just like a kind of a big deal with Cheers. I don't know if his own show had broken yet or maybe he was early on that stage whatever but I was like shocked you know and um and I'm watching him and he's kinda doing what I'm doing you know? He's looking around eyeing these chicks and so struck up this conversation and then finally said hey man Like you're kind of a big TV star, what... Why are you doing what I'm doing? It's what works! Yeah and he says it's not easy as you might think. And I said come on, you probably got a fan club, all kinds of stuff He said that's not quite like that You know and I actually saw him a couple more times there So I knew he wasn't conning me, wasn't zooming me

1:07:15 What it was like and I guess that's true as well if there was a great story going back about 10 years. And some, like...I think she was a phone sex operator or something? And somehow she got ahold of the numbers of De Niro several big big-time movie stars and started just kind of, you know... audio stroking them. And her name was something like... wasn't it Minerva? Miranda? Might have been Miranda! Yeah. And I don't think that she was ever revealed who she was but she conned several these guys into meetups and stuff as big as it got in Hollywood so there

Gen Z Loneliness, Financial Regret and Irish Pub Culture

A Harris Poll indicates that 68% of Gen Z adults find going out too expensive, leading to increased "weekend loneliness" and a preference for online friendships. The hosts contrast this with their own experiences, including an anecdote about a Randy Travis band drinking an Irish pub out of Bushmills whiskey. They praise the social intelligence and friendliness of the Irish people compared to the isolated nature of modern youth.

gen z· harris poll· loneliness· financial regret· ireland· randy travis· bushmills· social anxiety

1:07:56 You have to be careful who's on the other end of the phone. Now it's the internet, you never know, never know but this is a clip sorry it's an AI voice reading an article but it was better than nothing uh there was a Gen Z study done and this kind of rolls right into that because Gen Z is not fans of going out to loud crowded places like you know bars like you're talking about no I mean, you've got kids that are around this age. I don't know what their interactions are and what they do and what their friends do... They tell me nothing Darren. They don't tell me a goddamn thing That's smart! It is smart. You're right. Especially with me. There's good reason for their actions. Don't say-don't tell Larry anything about what you're doing No But it's a completely different world now than when you and i were in our 20s Yeah

1:08:53 The Harris Poll found that 68% of Gen Z adults agree that, going out these days isn't worth the damage it does to my wallet. On top of that 62% of gen z'ers avoid making weekend plans because they don't want to experience financial regret afterward rather they stay home to save money and use that spare money on necessities and bills. The pressures go beyond finances social experiences play a part as well Osiecki said, quote, going out has become genuinely costly and the traditional social formats loud crowded alcohol-centered are increasingly unappealing to this generation. The Harris poll found roughly nine in ten Gen Zers are actively opting out of nightlife staples with 39% saying they actively avoid large group hangouts and 38 percent saying they avoid loud crowded spaces

1:09:46 Instead, they are looking to make social plans that cost less and ask less. Alas these financial strains and quieter social life desires usher in increased loneliness. Osiecki told Straight Aruk quote This is the most connected generation in history but also the loneliest That tension is striking and it deserves more attention than its getting The Harris poll found that more than half of Gen Z adults experience weekend loneliness—the highest rate of any generation Osiecki said, quote,

1:10:36 In fact, 85% of those polled have already found workarounds to be social at a lower cost. Meanwhile 62% wish their online friendships turned into real-world plans and 71% feel like they're missing out on in person experience that older generations had." That's just so bizarre to me I don't know if i believe anybody named Osiyaki I would advise those people to take the advice of the village people and join the YMCA Well that was my question, Winnick. Because there was a two-fold thing that came out in this Harris poll which was

1:11:15 Pretty much the younger generation doesn't know how to interact outside of their phone. Yes, that's true and that they have no money to go out and I don't know if That's overall the case. I've got you know a few nieces and nephews And they're all doing way better than I am so I don't understand who with the average There's also a lot of things you can do that doesn't cost a lot of money. Everybody gets together, hanging out if you haven't... If you live in an area where there's a nice beach in the summer they just hang out and sit by a fire! You know? There are a lot of things you can do even if it is going to a bar I mean, you could just buy one soft drink. You don't have to drink kids This is true And I don't know what the cover charges are these days though They might be exorbitant Depends on the bar I suppose but uh... Yeah I think they're blowing all their money on

1:12:12 Expensive phones and lattes. They should cut back on that crap. And they're AI so they can talk to other people. Trump's 100 grand a month, that what it is! I gotta get my information from the Donalds so i know when to buy my stocks. Yeah yeah. It's...I know we're from a different generation but Gen Zers? the the big money part comes from and then along with that I don't understand why they can't find reasonable ways to go out and interact that oh we have we're afraid, we might make a financial decision that is bad like what are you talking about? Yeah really. You're not investing in a mutual fund you're buying a drink right i mean of course sometimes the drinks are

1:13:18 I remember when we were in Ireland, we were at a hotel bar and I guess Randy Travis and his band had just been through there the night before. And they drank them out of bush mills. Oh wow! It's...I mean that takes something Yes it does Because i think i was ordering for a buddy of mine that we're in Ireland and like oh give me two double black bush and then i got the whole story the Randy Travis band had drank them out. And I'm like, okay well what do you got? And he's like well we have the Bushmills, I think it was 16 year. Oh McAllen 24. Right! Kind of and I'm like okay give me two of those and the guy is like well those are 54 euro a piece. And I'm like I've never had a bartender try to talk me out of a drink before so I bought em' and yeah because really your there what are ya gonna do? What are ya gonna

1:14:16 but I've never had a bar that was the only time in my life of bartenders ever like you know how much that is thoughtful bartender worried about your budget not his. The Irish are the nicest people ever, i mean we haven't been there now and too long i mean it's been 15-18 years something like that yeah but that was the one place where if you were standing it was really a fun thing to do if you would stand on a fairly busy street corner And like look around like you were confused. If you were going to do that for longer than 30 seconds, somebody was gonna come up and be like hey can I help? That's true yes Yes Like that was amazing Yeah and I found they were so smart because the average guy doing anything You don't have to find some university professor

CHAPTER 15 / 30 Discussion

Minnesota Water Hacking, Iranian State Actors and Cybersecurity

The FBI and EPA issued warnings after more than 30 water treatment systems in Minnesota were targeted by cyber attacks. Officials suspect Iranian-linked hackers because no ransom was demanded, suggesting the intent was purely service disruption. The hosts question why critical infrastructure is connected to the public internet and mock the state's leadership under Governor Tim Walz.

minnesota· fbi· epa· water treatment· iran· cyber attack· ransom· tim walz

1:15:09 wallpapered with degrees to find somebody who knows exactly what's going on in the world. Guys driving forklifts and laying bricks and stuff, like everybody in Ireland that I met there was dialed-in and knew what was happening. It was pretty amazing! Yeah they do keep up so Irish we need more Irish yeah more than we definitely need more Irish now the other big story that has been going on is these I mean, I wanted to say the it would be like the water gate. But no water gates already a thing so it's like water hacking gate, I guess. What are hacking? Oh yeah you haven't heard about this. This is very interesting. A bunch of water treatment plants

1:15:51 in Minnesota. I mean, imagine... Oh stop right there Imagine! How do you think things can go wrong in Minnesota? Right?! It's got such great leadership with Timmy Walls and but here is a basic breakdown from ABC News on what happened This morning, the FBI and EPA out with a warning to water and wastewater facilities alerting them to a surge in cyber attacks. Companies in at least seven states now reporting incidents to federal authorities. Some of the operations affected according to the FBI include flooding and loss of pressure which could potentially allow untreated groundwater to seep into pipes

1:16:32 The warning comes amid a wide-scale cyber attack targeting more than 30 water treatment systems in Minnesota. Authorities have not yet identified who is responsible for the Minnesota attack, but sources tell us a number of officials suspect Iran linked hackers may be involved." Okay now remember that because then we're gonna find out why they think that so just remember these are the stories and everybody thinks it could be Iran linked hackers that are going after these water treatment plants and water facilities in Minnesota, and then there were a few other states that were mentioned as well.

1:17:10 In one case, the hackers were able to actually shut down the flow of water from the well and water treatment plant in the tiny city of Brom. Forcing officials to provide clean water to residents already stored in its water tower. The statement that the city says it was informed that there were at least four other communities attacked with the same result. The City of Maple Plain declaring a local emergency that was in effect for two days and the City of Plymouth also affected One reason officials are suspicious of Iranian involvement, so far the hackers are not asking for ransom money. Instead they appear to be trying to deny service. Rebecca?

1:17:49 Yeah, that's the what is the smoking gun you might ask Larry on why? Smoking gun. What is it they didn't ask for any ransom That's the reason we think it's Iran I thought this was going to solve the explosive diarrhea syndrome But no but I mean really if they could get access to it this yeah This shows also the insanity of governments especially local governments that want things to be super convenient and wire up all of these types of resources, to the internet. I mean we've had water treatment plants in all of this long before the internet existed so why are you hooking them up to the internet? Well so Joe can sit at home and know if something goes wrong i guess! Don't worry once AI is running the water it'll be fine Darren

1:18:44 Chill out, babe. We need water AIs that's what we need yeah but Donald Trump not buying that it's Iranian hackers I'm not either Can you rule out Iran is behind the cyber attacks? Do like the question again thank You mainstream media can you rule out that Iran is behind this No but I can't rule out that your behind in either so welcome to America baby I don't think so. Minnesota is behind it, you know who's behind it? Minnesota because they're grossly in debt. Right! Because it's so badly run as a state and he has a valid point there again You want to go right back to what we were talking about with the script kiddies and AI right now This is the perfect time for people that want to be

1:19:35 Wannabe hackers that can do things that they wouldn't have been able to do without the resources that they have now And attacking something like a water plant would be one of those things. And again, why is it hooked up to the internet? Who knows? Yeah if they want to do something smart dose with LSD that'll get some interesting results They've tried that before haven't they I was in a movie called uh i forget what it was called but yeah It worked out well in the movie it's crazy Fiction reality it's all the same Larry It is yeah But I think the governor turned on him I don't think there was an Iranian cyber attack. I think that Minnesota ought to get its act together, it's one of the worst run states JD will tell you he found tremendous corruption in Minnesota and by the way just gave me a report massive future things having to do with corruption in Minnesota are happening right now thank you. I like JD he is the ultimate yes man he's standing right there JD'll tell ya yes sir! And it's too damn cold. In Minnesota? Yeah

1:20:38 I don't like it. Why are you just going after small town water supplies across the U? I mean, wouldn't you be looking for something a little bit bigger than that. Maybe they should look into the Somali fraudsters maybe they got some kind of scam going there That's way more likely although then they would be requesting Bitcoin or something like that in order to return your service back to its fully functioning state This is Fox News on the same story

1:21:17 the work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say that with certainty. For years Iran has targeted US water systems with limited success. But the mayor of Brahm Minnesota says starting on Monday that plant operator realized that the big tower was calling for more water but the well was not cooperating. They realized the machinery was receiving power just not doing what it was supposed to do so they investigated and found four neighboring systems were experiencing the same problem. Plant operators restored backup and overrode systems manually Ultimately, 30 communities were affected but the disruption to water systems was minimal. Investigators haven't released many details about the suspected cyber attack but they say the timing, method and access of targets are all very similar to what they've seen from Iran before. Now with aging security technology, the mayor says whatever happened should serve as a wake-up call that investment is needed and the cyber experts agree with him

1:22:10 Now, one of the reasons investigators are leaning toward the conclusion that hackers are state actors bent on destruction. No one demanded a ransom and as you sometimes see that when a large system comes under attack now the FBI has confirmed that the bureau is aware of the incident and is in contact with the victims to resolve the matter Okay so what did we learn in that news report? Nothing! State actors Because they didn't ask for any money That's the only reason Across-the-board The only reason we've been given at least that I've found, is well they haven't asked for any money so we have to believe that it's state actors and well i mean who else besides Iran would

1:22:51 Even though they started out with Iran's been trying to do this. What was his exact wording here at the beginning? The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say that with certainty for years around has targeted us water systems with limited success Okay so it's been years that they've had limited success but now Yeah I mean maybe they have a Ron AI and that's now making their job easier for me For years They have been unsuccessful in trying to do this But now Because nobody asked for a ransom. That's their reasoning, I don't buy it! Well i just hope they're more successful because uh... I like seeing Minnesota suffer so And its like everything that is state run, everything that is run by small towns be very careful if its connected to the internet make sure

1:23:41 I mean your IT guy knows change that from admin password, you know the default admin and password. Yeah you want to change that to something 1 2 3 4 yes That's very secure do that One two three four five way more security. They got it they're safe now exactly Now where'd you want to go next? Oh god let me see oh i gotta here's something um This is this is fun there's a There's a guy that's running in Michigan not too far from you for senatorial seat and his name is Abdul El-Sayed if you're this guy Yes, yes. Okay, and he's getting a lot of press and he is he's very scary character and there's this clip has kind of been released again it released and was wasn't meant to be public and

CHAPTER 16 / 30 Discussion

Abdul El-Sayed, Environmental Justice and Political Memes

Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed is featured in a leaked clip discussing "environmental justice" and his strategy to use "memes" to move public policy. El-Sayed, a former Soros Fellow, describes himself as a "political entrepreneur" and suggests that primarying opponents like John Fetterman is akin to putting an "ogre on a pike." The hosts characterize his rhetoric as a chilling pursuit of power through linguistic manipulation.

abdul el-sayed· michigan· soros fellowship· environmental justice· memes· fetterman· political entrepreneur

1:24:35 Was him talking with some pinhead lefty vocal fry chick in the Senate about his plans So it's a it's a two-stage clip and the first one you've got to listen to this on this broad Vocalize before we get too Abdul, and that's pretty. It's funny She's funny but when we get to him he's not funny He's scary Yeah, hi nice to meet you. I'm Farina. I am an environmental staffer in the Senate so very much looking forward to hopefully having having you in the halls of the Senate and on the Senate Environmental Justice Caucus which one's been one of the staff leads... Stop! Environmental justice? You gotta have justice. Those clouds, the rain, the snow we have to justify them

1:25:23 on the Senate Environmental Justice Caucus, of which one of them one of the staff leads. I guess my question and this is getting a little bit ahead of course but you know even if things go very well in November we're still looking at two more years of a Republican presidency and i'm curious you know I think all reading your platform on climate environment these are all the right things that We should be doing codifying the endangerment finding but we're not going to have the chance to do that for a couple more years. I'm curious how you see your role on environmental issues. Stop, did you hear that? Your role nobody's job anymore Darren is your role. We're all actors all of us we have roles

1:26:03 Buddy, the last time I went in to see my cardiologist after getting the best EKG that woman had ever seen. She said your healthcare provider will be in shortly instead of the doctor will see you. Your provider? I don't think she just said healthcare. I think she just said your provider. I should have gotten up and ran right at that point. Oh, I'm so with ya man absolutely. It's very much out of a dystopian kind of novel It's Orwellian, it absolutely is. And so this broad you can hear her just prattle on and she does what so many... She should actually be in the mainstream media because she asks a question but she can't shut her mouth So she kind of answers it herself before he can I'm not going to bless anybody for talking too much bloviating or whatever blathering is I mean pot kettle that whole thing but otherwise

1:26:56 to be doing, codifying the endangerment finding. But we're not going to have the chance to do that for a couple more years. I'm curious how you see your role on environmental issues or sort of all the issues that were facing more broadly going into the next two years with Trump administration? How do you envision yourself using your voice at a time when unfortunately we're not going to get any policy over the finish line. I mean, the best case situation is that we don't get much policy over the finish line- Shut up lady! I've lost the question! Let me ask you a question let me answer it for 20 minutes. I've lost the question she said so many things since the question i have lost the question exactly now listen to his reply Darren and especially uh his kickoff for him speaking when he says

1:27:42 Very fun. This is funny. That would be very fun. Very fun, that was so heartfelt it's gonna be very fun yes. Yes thank you for all of your work yes but now very fun yeah very fun now before he starts this guy is a absolute... You know him but maybe others do not He is like a twin brother clone of Mamdani I mean they have very similar faces

1:28:19 And as he's whenever he speaks, as he speaks. He is a constant smile glued onto his face no matter what it probably not like a natural looking. No, no, no. It's completely rehearsed and trained in fake. I mean somebody could say to be saying them you know five minutes ago you swallowed an explosive capsule and in 90 seconds your guts are going to be sprayed across the wall again. The smile wouldn't move. This guy is a sick boy And so I did a little digging on him and here's some of his bona fides. In 2014 he completed a Doctor of Medicine degree at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and was funded by a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for the New Americans in Medical Scientist Training Program!

1:29:07 El-Sayed did not pursue a medical license, instead went into public health epidemiology work. So he's exactly like Tony Fauci! I'm a doctor but i never practiced medicine because there are more bucks and power in being a bureaucrat I mean, i can't blame him for that but yes. Yeah means you don't trust them not at all not for a second so uh clip five here is abdul el-sayed memeing ventriloquist now what this guy is saying is actually chilling when you hear what he's saying it's mind blowing and the reason this was actually...I got this off of politico right

1:29:48 And their only beef about it was his last words when he's talking about flipping or... primary in Fetterman, right and he referred to Federman as putting an ogre on a pike okay, and so some of the Middle Dems said you can't talk like that But that's like that's like nothing compared to what preceded that what he the way this guy is speaking is Like he's literally a kingmaker. This is very scary I get to then start paving the pathway for for 2028 and who will be the next president. And so part of what I need to do is understand that this job is not just about what you can do in terms of your investigatory power, or course your legislative power, or your confirmatory powers... Power, power, power! Well it's all about power isn't it? It's about power You can't stop listing those powers

1:30:40 Yeah, of course your legislative power or your confirmatory powers also your platform power. And so how do I start telling the story and paving out the pathway for what the next president should sound like? Stop! Now wait a minute this guy's running for senator and he's dictating how a president is going to sound. Do we hear that correctly Darren? Yeah because they gotta get more commies in office think that's what they're kind of going for. And they understand that their little movement, which is quite the scary movement is gaining traction somehow even though the polling that we're seeing says people don't agree with what they're actually saying which again shows you

1:31:28 This is all because Donald Trump and they've been able to demonize him to such a point that they're willing to just accept anybody as long as they're fighting Donald Trump. Because of what I'm advocating for, right? And how I talk about this. A lot of what I'm trying to do in this race right now and then if I win is to offer compelling ways or offer sort of memes that people think are- Wait, wait. He's offering meat? This is politics now! This is politics now and he's gonna repeat this he's the meme ventriloquist That's who this candidate is They understand that the society of the United States has gotten so disconnected So out of touch that they don't pay attention to real news Correct

1:32:23 So memes are going to be the way to win the presidency. They may not be wrong, sadly they're not wrong at all compelling ways or offer sort of means that people can pick up who are running for president to sound like we need them to sound to me go sound like we need them to sound Not have the right ideas? No policy ideas nothing just just parrot the crap We give you And God bless Noah Jenna, otherwise I wouldn't have paid any attention back in the day when AOC the bartender Just answered a casting call Like you have to know what you're dealing with. You have to know who you're voting for you have to understand What they want because these people a lot of them now they're telling you exactly what they want Yeah and think about it this guy. I mean he's running for Senate in Michigan

1:33:19 And when you hear what he's saying, you realize He's not riffing. He's not pulling this out of his butt This is something that's probably spread far and wide by Soros people and whomever else You know this is the way they're thinking They're telling this guy you're gonna determine how the next president sounds Whoa! Whoa! Very scary It's a lot of power for a guy running for office Yes Running Like I told you, my principal job is to be able to translate a lot of our broader public policy goals in language that moves people. To build the political capacity to drive legislation and change public policy right? And i think i get to do that quite a bit moving into 2028 where i can leave a lot of these memes for how we talk about this. Yeah it's very bizarre that this

1:34:16 Is being acknowledged that we just, we need memes. We need memes! There's a show title... WE NEED MEMES!!! And he realizes how stupid the electorate has become because policies are too difficult to grasp But show him a picture You know Right Here is a Doxon with a ball cap on Okay I got that That's really what it comes down to That's my candidate Really Yeah, well I forgot who sent it. I apologize but somebody sent me a sad puppy image to use with an eye patch on it. Sorry, I don't remember who... But thank you because that did make me laugh

1:34:57 moving into 2028 where I can leave a lot of these memes for how we talk about this on the table should a political entrepreneur running for president want to run on climate in a way that makes sense and is less assailable than the way we did it, I think earlier on. Stop! Stop! A political entrepreneur? When have you heard that before?! Never!? What the hell even is that?? A political entrepreneur??? You're... blending Communism and capitalism because there are no entrepreneurs in communism. Yeah, but it's an interesting mix of this again Because people don't understand words they're just listening going oh This sounds very interesting yeah And they're not really even comprehending what is being said you know

1:35:46 It is less assailable than the way we did it I think earlier on and you know primary people like John Frederick, man. I have no problem to do that Like I'm looking forward to it and people are like how we don't primary this and I might watch me Do it here? I mean like tell me tell me why should stop I mean your spend 60 million in being me okay to complain about game Jeremy So, you know And then what happens is ideally you put one over on a pike and then everyone else gets the message a lot different And they start sounding a lot different. So there's the threat, we'll put an ogre on a pike and then everybody is going to fall in line and act the way that we want them to fall in line but this guy... This guy needs to be stopped! It is insanity! But hey I don't expect anything else No Because that's exactly what you get when uh.. You check out and you don't pay any attention and all of sudden you wake up Yep

CHAPTER 17 / 30 Discussion

Brian Romero, Crowdfunding for Rent and New York Ethics

Brian Romero, a Democratic nominee for New York's 34th Assembly District, faced criticism for launching a crowdfunding page to pay for rent and groceries despite a previous six-figure salary. Romero had to leave his role as a senior advisor to Senator Kristen Gonzalez due to ethics rules once he became a candidate. The hosts mock Romero for being unable to manage a personal budget while seeking a role responsible for the state's finances.

brian romero· queens· new york· crowdfunding· ethics· kristen gonzalez· state assembly

1:36:44 And the people in office are a little crazier than maybe you thought. Nobody's gonna fix California because anybody that could, that's worth saving is pretty much left. And those of the habit have not had my prayers same thing in New York dig this Brian Romero the Democratic nominee for New York's 34th Assembly District in Queens by home borough is sailing into Albany with no Republican opponent

1:37:21 Okay, after crushing his primary. The job pays $142,000 a year plus per diems yet while he waits to be sworn in the former legislative aide briefly posted a crowdfunding page asking strangers for two thousand dollars to help with rent and groceries when the New York Post asked about it the page vanished Romero had left his senior advisor role with state Senator Kristen Gonzalez earlier this year after ethics guidance forced the move once he became a candidate. State payroll records show he pulled down $106,469 last year. He lives with his partner in a Jackson Heights apartment that costs about $2,600 a month." So this guy's knocking down 106 thousand a year

1:38:09 His rent is $2,600 but he's only paying half of it. One would assume because he has a roommate right? So there is you know 1,300 a month but he needs to borrow money to pay his rent and he's going to be responsible for budget since I mean its incredible these people are all losers they're incredible losers every single one them This is treason! Oh for God's sake, make an example of her. Yes make an example. Like a bloody head on offense post Yeah I like that yeah and he's not asking to borrow the money He's asking to... Give it to me? Yeah Just give it to me There's no value for value there That's just give me your money Give me your money Well It's the essence of socialism communism Give me what you got Bro that socialism yeah Communism is we're just taking it That's true We're just taking it well they'll take it anyway Cause ya know its scam

CHAPTER 18 / 30 Discussion

Bill Maher, Democratic Socialists and Communist Rhetoric

Bill Maher warned that the Democratic Party is drifting toward communism, citing the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Maher highlighted quotes from DSA influencers like Hassan Piker and activists like Sia Weaver, who advocate for the government's right to seize property and the means of production. The hosts agree with Maher's assessment that these "cretins" represent a genuine threat to constitutional rights.

bill maher· dsa· karl marx· hassan piker· sia weaver· means of production· communism

1:38:59 But Bill Maher, who has been all over the map as we've covered him over the last few years. Yes Is leaning very strongly in the he doesn't like the socialist direction which is good and it's entertaining Will anybody listen to bill? I don't know And finally new rule Donald Trump has told 1 trillion lies but when he says that democratic socialists of America are actually communist That's not one of them And it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates. JD Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA my vote was in play! All I heard all vacation is oh my god you're a Republican now No thats no what I said, I said IN PLAY!

1:39:50 because not a week goes by where I don't read about some newly chosen exciting new face in the Democratic Party and then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out. Yeah it's just like the guy you were just talking about yeah comes right on out Again, let's just read the quotes. The DSA platform says your work you work as much as you are able and no more than needed if that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs They'd be sued for plagiarism New York Mayor Mondani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly they're not trying to hide it a

1:40:35 Their most popular influencer, Hassan Piker thinks communism is so groovy. He laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history—the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China. Mandami's aide, his top aide, Sia Weaver said if you don't believe in a government's sacred right to seize property it's over and impoverished the white middle class What? That's a goal. You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?" So what point are you at in the cycle if instead of trying to lie about all this stuff that you are willing just go out there and say the truth and think people will still put you into office I mean this is some insane world It's working over quite a few states lately

1:41:31 these cretins have been elected. And what America needs to do is turn back the clock to the late 40s and 50s with Joe McCarthy was basically hunting these people and attempting to jail them because it's one thing when there are two sides of an argument, but if somebody's intent is destroy you your way of life everything about you that's not an opinion that's an enemy and their voice doesn't matter You know, there really should be some type of legislation passed that if you are a card-carrying commie get out. Hey it would work if you just educated the average person enough to know what communism is and how it would mess their life up immensely Who's going to do that? Not the teachers union! Exactly Also a bunch of commies overall No question

1:42:28 One of the new soon to be Democratic Congress people, Darlesia Chevalier supports seizing all properties from landlords and said seize the means of production. Mandami has said that end goal is seizing the means of production I think they want to seize the means of production. Now maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but that's communism! Now the coalition within the DSA called The Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance and I must take them at their word when their words include our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society in a word communism

1:43:12 What do they have to do, tweet out elect more communists? Oh yeah, Sia Weaver did that. Yes! Good I'm glad you're shocked People gotta realize this is going on You know it always worries me when Bill Maher and i've been saying the same thing but yeah I'm glad he's down the train Yeah It's great to hear But its really chilling And nobody's really doing anything to put a stop to this Right, because it's not business as usual. This is not a Democrat versus Republican thing. Yeah this is all of the rules of this country all of the rights that you have gotten from God know the government thats

Scott Galloway, Pied-à-Terre Tax and Doxing Concerns

Tech pundit Scott Galloway expressed alarm after being included in a list of property owners released by New York officials related to a proposed "pied-à-terre" tax. Galloway, speaking with Kara Swisher, compared the public list to a "wanted poster" in the wake of the recent execution of a healthcare CEO. The hosts find irony in Galloway's discomfort, given his previous support for the politicians implementing these policies.

scott galloway· kara swisher· mayor mamdani· doxing· pied-à-terre tax· property owners· new york

1:43:56 The government gives you your rights kids and if we want to take all of your property and all of your money there's nothing you can do about it. Yeah, and all those people in his audience most of which I'm sure are Democrats or card carrying lefties... Isn't that funny? You know who is not laughing? Is one of the big ones, our buddy Scott Galloway. Yes! Okay? Yeah I've got that clip. Oh you got that clip lay it on us yeah he was on with Kara Swisher and i've been doxxed oh he's been doxxed good suffer suffer Scotty You've been doxxed what tell me

1:44:32 So I don't know if you've heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for his pied-à-terre tax. I came out in favor of this tax This is the definition. Let's just laugh at him for the next five minutes, worried about how you want it back to wrong horse? It's very interesting when it's like well here's a list of people that might be might be this is the definition he's taken illegitimate source of tax revenue and has turned into a wanted poster and the question I would have as

1:45:13 other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong. And then 18 months after a health care CEO was executed in the street, and then published the list? What what is the upside here? Why is he doing this because you keep voting them in dummy correct You support his policies now This is nothing new according to every news report that I can find this isn't like ma'am Donnie released information that has not been being released in New York for years, but the framing is now different. People up till this point weren't really looking at the property owners with oh you're evil? Well why are people looking at property owners like they're evil because of people like Scott Galloway sure because of the Mamdanis That's why Because you're buying into what they are selling you

JB Pritzker, Save America Act and Voter Disenfranchisement Claims

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker released a social media campaign attacking Donald Trump's "Save America Act," claiming it would disenfranchise tens of millions of married women whose names don't match their birth certificates. The hosts debunk these claims, noting that simple affidavits can resolve name discrepancies. They criticize Pritzker's "firehose of lies" and his characterization of election integrity measures as a threat to democracy.

jb pritzker· illinois· save america act· voter id· real id· disenfranchisement· donald trump

1:46:13 It makes very little sense, but yeah it's kind of funny that this is backfiring on him and like why is this happening? But you're still supporting him right. Oh yeah love it but I mean he's gonna get me killed but I really like them! And I have one quick clip from the governor of Illinois the state that I currently reside in. More lies lies and damn lies from somebody doesn't claim to be a democrat socialist but he is. What is this? This is directly from the JB account so yes, the music is all JB's people what is Donald Trump's so-called Save America Act it's yet I mean why is it a so called act it is just these save it's not a so called yeah well

1:47:04 It's yet another way for him to make voting more difficult for Americans who disagree with him. Only the people that disagree with them it'll make it harder to vote for, you know? Showing you actually live in this country... Well I'm sorry are a citizen of this country words matter I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act and it should be before anything else happens. Voters who would face the possibility of being disenfranchised The bill would make it harder for tens of millions of married women to vote because their last names don't... I know! Let him finish this part Because their last names don't match their birth certificates He wants to

1:47:50 So, I mean are you familiar with this? Because uh...I looked it up. Because your name doesn't match your birth certificate. I know that's really inconvenient because women when they get married a lot of them change their name to take their husbands last name now in this law that this moron Pritzker my governor is talking about the way that you can Get beyond this. Oh, yeah Okay So if your birth certificate has a different last name do you have to jump through all kinds of hoops right Larry? I mean if you want to know I don't believe that for a second no You know what they need one an affidavit from the person swearing that what they're providing is true. See ya

1:48:38 Do they have to write? That's impossible. Women are too stupid to write an affidavit according to JB Pritzker They're too dumb To be able to write down that Mary Jones is now Mary Peters That way, too Way too hard for women according to J B Pritzker Well the poster is Pritzker thinks women are stupid put on every bull billboard in Illinois it's unbelievable you need a Affidavit from the person, you know nobody else. You don't have to go, you don't have to get a lawyer. You just have to fill out some piece of paper that says I your name here am really this person originally your name here on the birth certificate boom done! And he said tens of millions and trying to remember...I used to know that number but i don't think there are tens of millions of women getting married every year it's like three four million something like that yeah because that's going off the ledge as well marriage is an institution

1:49:34 Make it so even using your real ID, which is secure enough to keep air travel safe. Is the real ID really keeping air travel safe? Not in the least no there's making more inconvenient but not doing a damn thing to make it safer No wouldn't allow you to vote and if you move even one block from where you live now You wouldn't be allowed to vote I mean what he doesn't mention is that moving one block could put you into A different state, a different county, a different town But no, don't worry about reality kids. Unless you start the whole registration process all over again

1:50:13 the push to pass. Because you know when you move Larry, I mean you did this is a perfect example You moved over the last few years from Commie California into Commie Connecticut Correct There were no paper there was nothing you had to fill out anywhere right? I mean you just you moved and every your credit cards and everything they just knew where you were right Yeah yeah they knew where it was amazingly incredibly darn They knew I was here and so they could tax me on my cars, on my house. All the taxes magically appeared! I don't know how they did it but they did it It's amazing when you move there is never any paperwork that you need to fill out Just give us the money The Save America Act is just Donald Trumps latest attempt To deny your right to vote and reshape the electorate in MAGA's favor He doesn't want a legitimate election he wants certain victory

1:51:05 No, he wants fair. Yeah read the safe America Act bill not the so-called Mm-hmm if you read it it is It's pretty clear but this is part of this massive amount because Pritzker social media This is daily. This isn't like he releases a video every now and then there are things like this coming out constantly Yes, and it's that firehose effect again And why because people look at it? And they're like oh must be true I mean he's sure he's an elected official He's the governor of Illinois wouldn't be lying just flat to my face would II yeah Seems like that happens a lot yes

CHAPTER 21 / 30 Discussion

Ceuta Migrant Crisis, Spanish Court Rulings and EU Borders

Thousands of migrants swam from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta following a court ruling that prohibited the automatic return of those arriving by sea. The influx of approximately 60,000 people in a single day overwhelmed the local population of 80,000, prompting Spain to deploy the military. The hosts compare the situation to the U.S. southern border, noting the prevalence of military-age males and the role of social media in spreading "open door" misinformation.

ceuta· spain· morocco· migrants· asylum· supreme court· schengen· military age males

1:51:49 And just to prove that the migration crisis doesn't just happen in the United States, this is a very interesting story. This Quetta... It's amazing man! Suwayta invasion of... I'm great with geography names. It's amazing But here is the breakdown on what is going on from the BBC Where is Ceuta and why have so many people suddenly tried to swim there? These images are of thousands of migrants suddenly rushing towards Morocco's border with Ceuta, a tiny sliver of land that belongs to Spain. They swam across in such huge numbers that the border effectively collapsed. There was chaos! The swim isn't long but some people clearly struggled and several dozen have drowned. Those who did make it ashore though were euphoric

1:52:45 So why Ceuta? Well, it's a spot where Europe and Africa meet directly. A stepping stone something on the way to a better life It's just a few square miles in size and with around 80 000 inhabitants so 50 000 more arriving in just one day was quite something Spain has now sent troops and police to help keep the peace and to reinforce the border. But it's still not clear why so many migrants suddenly rushed to Ceuta. Okay, here is a very interesting thing she is telling you literally one breath before nobody understands why but listen what follows

1:53:26 A Spanish court did rule recently that anyone who swims across the border can't be automatically returned, so perhaps word spread. So this is the understatement of the century! Sure well it's just like Joey and Kamala we can't control the border we're taking an act to Congress we can't stop them so come on up guys right saying come in cards for you phones everything nothing will happen exactly what they had here Was the court rule if you come in via the water, you can't be immediately returned. That seems like it might have been a lie but oh maybe people heard this Well of course they did because you didn't have this before that and now you do cause and effect

1:54:13 But there are also questions about what Morocco did or didn't do to stop people crossing. Okay it's Morocco's fault but why did none of these liberal outlets went oh it's Mexico's fault for allowing all of these migrants to walk through you know, it's amazing! Morocco should learn from East Berlin put that wall up keep them inside everybody needs a wall Larry everybody needs a wall Right now it's not happy with Spain because of Spain's relations with Algeria, not a friend of Morocco. Spain's government is playing that down because it needs help from Morocco to send people back there. Many have already gone but many thousands more are still in Ceuta and unsure what happens next. We're already seeing what's happening next here is the Fox News report

1:55:03 at the border of Spain's North African enclave in Morocco. This is a city called Ceuta, you're watching as thousands of people are being killed by the British army. of migrants break through the fence and completely overwhelm the border police. Their video showing huge groups of people, mostly young military age guys... Sounds very familiar doesn't it? Doesn't it though yes! The young military-age guys coming into a country no nothing to see here

1:55:39 They're video showing huge groups of people, mostly young military age guys cramming into inflatable tubes or arriving on shore in other ways. Some of them waiting in the water as they break through the gates to get to the other side. Sandra this is reminiscent of kind of what we saw during the open border during the Biden administration through 2021-2024 kinda similar to what we saw in Del Rio back in 2021 And of course, this is Fox News who is very much on the Trump train overall. So they will bring the comparison to the invasion of the United States under Biden.

1:56:16 The Socialists agenda, their platform literally says they want to abolish borders, abolish immigration enforcement have complete freedom of movement. This is what it looks like in another country if they get what they want notice there is no resistance from the government whatsoever these people are coming in without any obstruction and if people don't know Spain has a very left-wing government earlier this year they did a big amnesty program for over Well, Spain isn't really just very left-wing. They are pretty much straight out socialist aren't they? Totally yes that's correct you know I think of that Brit idiot he arrived so what was the word she said be ecstatic or something how happy they were to be there Yes and then she says it's normally a community of 80 thousand people and suddenly there's 50 thousand strangers now if you look at a map it's the tip of kind of not a peninsula but its jutting into a vast chunk of water called the Mediterranean

1:57:08 And there's nowhere to go from there, okay? So where are all these guys gonna make pee-pee. Where they're going to eat or sleep you know it doesn't matter because they're happy and people that are living here already will screw them because they need to welcome everybody Well that's not what happening believe it or not but all this people going think once is very much the same story of the Venezuelans that came into the United States, wound up here in Chicago sleeping on the floor. Send me back right when interviewed were like this is horrible we thought there was opportunity here We can't work without getting permits and we can't get the permits we can't get a place to live because we don't have any money

1:57:57 And when asked if they would do it all over again, they're like no. It was better before they left home but it was because of the story that was sold to them. They should have gone into Martha's Vineyard. Now they could've stayed at Barack and Michelle's, no problem! People don't know Spain has a very left-wing government. Earlier this year they did a big amnesty program for over 1 million illegal immigrants living in the country, they had 1.3 million illegal immigrants apply for that amnesty program between April and June so that's what we call a pull factor Sandra

1:58:32 uh... they're looking for something like that they know if they can just get their foot in the country maybe someday that left wing government will do another amnesty program and you were just reading some of the wires the locals want an emergency declaration it sounds like ministry saying now there's a and they will not deploy military to the border really don't think this is a number i mean look at us this is a total free-for-all And I don't know exactly the timing between this news report and then what happened shortly after because The concept that they weren't being rounded up and sent back doesn't seem to be the truth. Either this is a global news report It started with hundreds Then many, many more The Spanish government estimates roughly 60 thousand people arrived from Morocco in little more than a day

1:59:21 Many swam. And again, we know that millions came into the United States but as you just pointed out this is about 60 thousand people coming into a country of 80 thousand almost doubling within a day This man says he spent two hours in the ocean another brought his five daughters Just before an attempt, this woman says she doesn't make enough as a waitress to support her parents and daughter. They're traveling from Morocco into a Spanish enclave in Africa called Sueta. Many thousands of people have tried in the past risking their lives to seek a better life more than 30 people died in their attempt this time. The groomer that seems to have

2:00:13 Really blown up is that all of the, all of the rules. around pushbacks were suspended. Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith points to misinformation around the recent Spanish court case as a potential reason why so many are trying now Spain's Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily returned So which part of that is misinformation? I'm not really sure it seems like good information if the court ruled that, why would you say then it was misinformation? I want to hear that again too all of the rules around pushbacks were suspended. Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith points to misinformation around a recent Spanish court case as a potential reason why so many are trying now. Spain's Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily returned, though that appears to be happening. As of Friday morning local time, as many as 25,000 people returned. I don't know why they came here

2:01:16 This man says he's leaving and that he hasn't eaten or slept in a day. Others likely dissuaded by the Spanish military. Spain's prime minister called so many people illegally arriving an attack A sentiment the British Prime Minister echoed. It is a cause for concern and we are making contact with the Spanish government, the Spanish authorities to provide support Smith points out legal entry into the EU enables free passage within it He also says many European countries are aging and rely on migrant labour That more legal pathways could make life easier for many people No no! It's the same story as here Oh no, we need

CHAPTER 22 / 30 Discussion

Global Migration Narratives, Morocco and Trump Relations

The discussion on the Ceuta crisis continues with a focus on the geopolitical tensions between Morocco, Algeria, and Spain. British producer Mark Adderley suggests that Morocco's influence may be tied to its military relationship with Israel and the Abraham Accords. The hosts criticize the media's shift from using the term "invaders" to "migrants" and discuss the dangers of the journey, including reports of high death tolls at sea.

morocco· algeria· abraham accords· world cup· mark adderley· invaders· migration research

2:01:58 Yeah, we need that. We need the influx will then come in legally right? and don't even want to talk about the danger as we talked about, Adam and John talked about the danger from coming into the United States. And how many people died trying to make that journey because it's a very corrupt way to get into the country in your pan mules to get you in? I mean people not actual mules. It's a very dangerous thing. Most of these news reports here, we haven't heard anything about the death toll here, but France 24 has it Both cities Medellin Ceuta are really surrounded by very high fences

2:02:43 And it's extraordinarily difficult, actually normally to reach. And of course we've seen over the past few days while obviously tens of thousands of people arrived dozens of people as you say the latest estimate is 57 people died in the attempt so these are it's very difficult and very dangerous Once people arrive in Ceuta and Melilla, while they are part of Spain and as such they are part of the Schengen Free Movement area there are special rules applied to the autonomous cities. And it's actually quite difficult to travel onward so a lot of the scaremongering that we've heard in the reactions from countries like Italy sort of thundering about suspending Schengen

2:03:35 or suspending Spain from Schengen are really red herrings that don't match up with the reality of the situation. I mean, what else don't understand all these leftist countries who are now afraid that more people are coming in. I thought you don't want the borders? Now these people that come again illegally how horrible but CBS News is the only one that I found that had boots on the ground that had a reporter there trying to speak to these migrants coming in and I thought this Was very interesting again was echoing the interviews with the Venezuelans that I saw here in Chicago kind of given the same thing we were promised a better life and The reality may be a little different All these people have been told that they're not going to get asylum here. So they're being turned around and sent back right there

2:04:33 No, they're not letting people stay. That's what the police have told us. They are making everybody leave. But some people here in Kuzrujoho go to Spain? You can see that most of them are walking this way because the police and the military have forced them to leave I know it's very hard to hear because of the audio was bad but the migrants like, no no a bunch of these people that were going to Spain and this guy is like no that's not gonna happen. You know sorry but your journey is for naught The journey The military says they're not letting people stay you have to go back What about if many people stay here? No problem So your hope is that you'll be able to stay here Yeah

2:05:26 That's no problem. So you read a news article that said that if you came here, you could claim asylum and live in Spain? And you read that and then you decided to swim over? It says Spain has opened the door. It said Spain has opened the door this was on social media. Right? Never believe social media kids! Yeah... I mean again this is the exact playbook of what happened with everybody coming into the United States. Oh, the United States said it! The door's open come on in! Well they did say that and there were you know cell phones and phone cards and credit cards and you know probably New Year's waiting for them. Where would you like to go? We'll fly where you're going...

2:06:12 It was for real under Joey. You know what's fascinating? I saw some of those videos and it looked, there was a science fiction movie a few years ago with Brad Pitt about some kind of plague. I can't remember what it was called but it was actually very good. World War III that's what it was and there were these mob scenes of these zombies just swarming various areas and this the videos of that invasion From Morocco to Spain that part of Spain was very reminiscent Thousands and thousands of guys as they say military age dudes somebody in the report said somebody brought five children I didn't see any kids. I didn't see any women it was all guys maybe 17 to 30, you know And it and they constantly this is the left Is this is their stock and trade man?

2:06:58 They distort the language. And it's kind of been accepted now around the world that invaders are now referred to as migrants and it so pisses me off because they're not You know, for a hundred whatever years the migrants certainly I've witnessed it in California. They'd come across they work in the farms and ranches whatever and they while and they send money back to Mexico and then when its done they go home you know not the same as swarms of thousands of guys just coming those are invaders those are not migrants their invaders

2:07:35 And I believe they're referring to both men and women, but there might be a little bit of a hint here why there aren't many women crossing. Media on what on Twitter or Instagram? Facebook, Instagram. Everyone wants to be here Why don't you want to go home to Morocco? No no no... Morocco? There's no money in Morocco? Ah, see see If your family share the like that You can be happy all the life Do you have a family? Yeah My mother makes

2:08:15 Maybe there was a different clip that I misclicked but there was talking about They're being witches on the journey in how they just tied them up and threw them into the sea. Ooh, that's not nice! No? It is not the way that you want to go Well it was a now you determined which right back in those days there were around unit if you drowned your witch right if so That's the only way to know is to throw them into the water Yes

2:09:03 And this was just, they T I thought this was kind of interesting. Not that I give any credence to this guy's name is Mark Adderley. He is a British producer and uh, of course the evil in the reasoning behind all of this are going to be clear. Some kind of even reported by The Telegraph Moroccan governmental influence on this And also we can't pretend to ignore that Morocco clearly only in recent days has been in conversations with Trump telling him they're naming a highway after Trump. They have signed the Abraham Accords and they have a military relationship with Israel so you know, we have no way of being able to prove anything but the feeling is one of it's curious that Spain has inadvertently become the epicenter

2:09:59 of a migrant crisis very shortly after the Spanish World Cup and everything that America has said about not liking the Spanish. Yeah, it's all Trump. It's all Israel. That's the reason it's all wow. So this was all CAA op? This is how this happened maybe again there is so much blather out there that it's nearly impossible to know Who's right, who's wrong which just of course gets everybody else anxious. It gets everybody all spun up and that's not doing anything good for their mental health as well. Now you have two more clips here and then we can thank a lot of people for their courage. What have I got here? You know this kind of fun one Stephen Miller dropping truth bombs. And you know how much I'm such a stickler for vocabulary words so you can hear what this guy has to say

CHAPTER 23 / 30 Discussion

Stephen Miller, Political Civility and The Baller Label

Stephen Miller appeared on news media to characterize the modern Democratic Party as a collection of "freaks, weirdos, and losers." Miller argued that figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders, once considered fringe, are now the heart of the party. The hosts discuss the difference between "civility" and "respect," while Darren explains the slang term "baller" to Larry.

stephen miller· aoc· bernie sanders· the squad· civility· respect· baller

2:10:57 The people you mentioned, the names you mentioned AOC Bernie, the squad Omar. These are people who even 10 or 15 years ago but would have been relegated to the outer extreme fringes of the Democrat Party they're now the center of the party they're the heart of the party They're the soul of the party so the Democrats have become a party of freaks weirdos losers and crazies But you can't laugh it off because it's deadly serious when you give these people power Everything you know and love in this world falls apart. You have chaos, corruption decay violence poverty That's a poster right there for him He's dead right and he missed a step when he said to give these people power

2:11:41 They get power because before they get power, people insist that you give them respect. And he's right 15-20 years ago a lot of these people would have said hey man those are psychos they're nincompoops they're weird Get them out of here You know the Bernies really The vagrants So many of them are But how do they get that way? Well I'll tell ya how From preschool teachers telling their little children Everyone deserves respect No, they don't. They conflate respect with civility right? Respect borders on admiration and nobody deserves respect of course they can only earn it but not the way children are taught and so that's why these creeps these insane people

2:12:30 Suddenly get to where they go because people are afraid to call them what they are So I you know, I gotta applaud Stephen Miller the left hates him But I admire what he just said cuz he's correct dug it up in the troll room says Stephen Miller is a baller What a baller? What's that a baller? Oh wow. Okay It's uh, you know a badass. Oh, okay Yeah All right I didn't know that was going to be a terminology that was off of the radar. It's a baller, man! Yeah it didn't...I thought it was like a basketball player or something Kind of You're bringing a Gavin Newsome clip? Yes this is uh you know even though you're not a dad I think this may stimulate some rage within you Darren

CHAPTER 24 / 30 Discussion

California Medical Privacy, MyChart and Parental Rights

A viral recording features a California mother being told by a medical office that she will lose access to her 12-year-old daughter's "MyChart" portal due to state privacy laws. The hosts link this policy to legislation sponsored by Scott Weiner, which allows minors to seek certain medical treatments, including gender-related procedures, without parental consent or notification. They warn that the state is effectively "calling the shots" for families.

california· mychart· scott weiner· parental rights· medical privacy· gender transition· minors

2:13:19 Yeah, because I do have a thing against bad parenting anyway. Yeah well this isn't the parents fault but you realize how bad things have become in the state of California? This is...I'll just tell you the setup it's a woman filming herself she's on her speakerphone talking to some somebody at uh my chart outfit or some medical institution in California and man what she has to say is kind of sickening I have a question for you. I got a notification in my chart from my daughter Gianna saying that once her birthday hits on August 4th, that i'm not going to have access through MyChart for her appointments and her like test results and stuff

2:14:00 Um, correct. What you're going to have to do is when the child turns 12, you're gonna have to bring her in and she's gonna have to create her own account, her own account. How? And what does this an account for on like my device? So she has her own chart, the medical website that seems every right now I was thinking cause I've got those with every doctor that I've gotten so wait Doctor's office is telling this woman that a 12 year old is going to have to set up her own account? Yes, because it's in California. And what is the reason for that? Well because Scott Weiner That freak Up in San Francisco Among his other legislation he has passed now In California Basically if a twelve year old says Excuse me I want to get my Johnson removed They can have it done By themselves by their fiat and mommy and daddy Have no say whatsoever

2:15:05 Wow, yeah wow how much majors on like my device so she has her own login She's 12. She doesn't have a device Oh, then she wouldn't be able to access it. Like how is she... So you guys expect 12 year olds to make their own appointments and monitor their test results? It's not us! This is a state nationwide thing. Crazy! I can't even get my kids. I can't even get my own kids unless they give me access but I have to My kids have to create their own accounts

2:15:46 Okay, so if she creates her own account on whatever device she has her own login I We could do it through that Correct. You'll be able to email the doctor So on the account that you currently at you will be able to schedule and cancel appointments Okay They'll still be able to email with doctor because the message says that I can't even do appointments Oh, they can't do appointments? I mean, is this real? This is real. This is not fake. I mean this...I'm having flashbacks to the AI videos that I was complaining were fake a couple of weeks ago! This is...this is real?! I believe it is. It's been you know... Oh no, I guess not. So she's gonna have to call and create her and make her yearly appointments

2:16:39 Oh my god, it's crazy. Okay that's insane how do they expect kids to say they get a blood test? How do they want them to review their own blood test results at 12 years old okay well we'll figure it out I'm just gonna have to create the login together and I'll manage it under her account Yeah And then if they do create they have their appointment I'm just I'm still allowed to go in with her right or I'm not even allowed to be in the room with her Okay, there you go Wow roads are calling shots. He'll decide what mommy and daddy have to say or see Okay that does not if that's real that is

2:17:36 Beyond the pale as Joe Biden would say yeah, well that was a big big issue About them doing it again people in California were just you know having conniptions over and justifiably so because it's all rooted in the trans movement That's where that's that's the Genesis right because when they want to get these surgery done then the parents can't be uh You know told about it because that would be bad somehow right Wow wow If that's real, I mean i would have given you a clip of the day but I already did that on the first clip of the show because that is absolutely insane. if you're in California...if ya got kids get out yeah god help ya! But it's time to do this! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah they'd be fab

No Agenda Value for Value, Podcast 2.0 and Art Contest

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" model, which relies on listener time, talent, and treasure rather than advertising. They encourage the use of Podcasting 2.0 apps and review recent artwork submissions, including a "Fauci Muppet" and a "Fauci Diary" piece by Blue Acorn. The segment emphasizes that the show is funded entirely by the "Gitmo Nation" of producers.

2:18:31 Yeah, I know the jingle doesn't always go there people are like oh you're not doing it right and my guts it's like spitting plates You are a great plate spinner. You know you are the best. I get better as time, no Adam Curry's the best. I'm getting all right As time goes by i'm gonna get a little bit better each and every time out By the time Adams like give me all this stuff back you guys are nuts then i'll be perfect i'll Be good i'll know exactly what i'm doing but No Agenda is a value for value show What does that mean? I mean the whole ecosystem, it's based on three words. Time talent treasure It's pretty simple there's no ads There is no corporate money nothings locked behind a paywall Its not like some subscription service you're like how do i stop this No

2:19:20 It's very easy. The show goes out, you can grab it with whatever app you want. We highly recommend the podcasting 2.0 app because then you get the bat signal when the show goes live and all of the other shows that are on the podcast in 2.2 ecosystem go live just over to PodcastApps.com if you don't have one and then if you get anything out of this show did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you like Larry's Fouchy impersonation man everybody dug that Was it better than cats? Just you get to send some value back to us and keep the show going on. That's it, doesn't have to be money that is where the time talent in treasure comes into it. You can do artwork, you can tell a friend, you could hit him in the mouth as we say spread the word any way you can

2:20:04 And if you want to go the monetary donation route that keeps the lights on, do what feels right for you. Five bucks could be a big deal in some people 100 bucks 200 1000 nobody dictates the number but you this is pure freedom and the value for value model. You can just go over to no agenda donations dot com and see what number hits you. Maybe it's 888, because there was 888 people in that troll room the last night but Larry and I are getting compensated for these shows we left that number up to the Podfather and The Dvorak Clan It is an example of value for value whatever they think we are worth then thats what were going to get so we highly recommend if you like what were doing here that you go over and send in a donation just let them know Darren & Larry their ok yeah

2:20:51 I mean, it's okay as we can possibly be. But let me look here at the troll room. What do we got? What's the head count? I know these trolls they always run and i don't know why uh... We have a peak trollage of 956 with 776 that sounds kind of patriotic It does Right now and we are glad you are joining us in to the No Agenda Troll Room which is available over at noagenda dot stream And then if you're a true nerd, you will figure out how to get onto the IRC server direct. So you don't have to deal with any of the crazy web interface stuff and just the way it works and all the trolls there on a podcasting 2.0 app because they know when we're live. The other thing you can do, of course artwork for the show

2:21:39 As I said the other day, people like can you still do art? Well, I could but that wouldn't be in the... No. Then they'd have to pick your stuff would not be awful. You wouldn't be like no i don't like any of this stuff This is all bad give me a darn thing But we had some nice art coming in on The Last Show and a couple of the artists was Mike Riley one of them somebody told me like no no be vicious Be vicious to the artists Don't let him off the hook But there were a few nice pieces by Dame Kenny Ben and there were a few we could have gone with. Yep, and I really kind of liked the vibe of The Muppet Fauci with the duct tape but Larry hates puppets! I do it's true so you have to learn exactly what

2:22:30 with the host like and Larry does not like puppets, but see that was a Fauci Muppet that looked I mean that looks more Fauci than the actual Fauci. I mean it's amazing! That was a beautiful piece. It was good The one we chose was a cartoonish Fauci which everything kind of blended perfectly with the little bubble of i take the fifth which...that was the thing you said was the tape over-the-mouth didn't really coincide enough with the hundred and eleven times of Fauci taking the fifth. And then we had like the little lawyer names, I mean, I hope though O'Neill and Blyden aren't the real lawyers for Fauci because although we get paid well... That's true But we thought that one really hit on all of the marks

2:23:21 I don't know what was next for you. We both decided that Blue Acorn's Fauci writing in the diary was so disturbing we are going to have nightmares for as long as we can imagine? Yes, it is a tad disturbing yes You think? Really no agendaartgenerator.com go look The Fauci Diary by Blue Acorn Very weird we had of course Scaramanga coming in with the cheesecake, but it was a little too trashy of cheesecake And with the flock camera. Yeah, I mean and the butts? I mean the only way but art is gonna get picked as a fit CSB who said he was gonna put some in for really today I mean we shamed him on the last show like where's the CSV art I was that other it I was taking a nap like well He snooze you lose during the show and the Parker Pauly

2:24:16 One which was the mashup of our original planet rage art with no agenda was very nice as well That would have probably been second on my list after The one that we chose, but there's some interesting stuff coming in today. I do see something from comic strip bloggers so he didn't lie Oh cool There is still plenty of time though to compete to see what is going to win today It could be anything that is the beauty of it and we thank Dame Kenny Ben I know she's been out of the art game for a little while So it was nice to see some pieces

CHAPTER 26 / 30 Discussion

Executive Producer Donations, Fred Hadley and Red Knight

The hosts read significant donations and notes from executive producers, including a $1,776 cash donation from Fred Hadley. A lengthy tribute from "Red Knight" in Bismarck, North Dakota, recounts meeting John C. Dvorak at early TWiT recordings and discusses Dvorak's "one-liner" reviews for Apple IIgs games. The segment serves as a memorial to Dvorak's impact on his audience.

2:24:54 by her that came in. Yes, it is all very much appreciated part of the time talent treasured thank you Dame Kenny Ben and now we do need monetary support to keep the show going and this is where we normally do our executive producers and associate executive producers today again were gone all the way down to the 50 mark why because we're new We need some reps and we want to encourage you to continue supporting the best damn podcast in the universe. So if you have the spreadsheet open, we can... I do Darren and i'm gonna ask for your assistance because uh to avoid the train wreck situation i'm looking at Fred Hadley's very generous donation it says see attached note where did he find that note?

2:25:45 I've got it. Let me read that when he came in with a 1776 in cash, this is very brave. That's cool cash wow that's impressive and the note was on a piece of paper so I transcribed because it was a little hard to read from the picture but I've got it here He says dear no agenda United States as a federal corporation where July 4th is Independence Day United States of America is the Constitutional Republic whose August 2nd is Independence Day Artificial intelligence scrapes and steals, spies and surveils, lies and kills. AI serves the devil! Sincerely Fred Hadley

Yeah he's the only guy that ever got me to do a meetup and he was a good dude yeah he's the first Noah Jenna producer that I met in the wild we went to go see Eli and like i gotta try some of this gigawatt coffee then he got me hooked you gave me a couple you try these and I was like oh man good stuff uh-huh it's like crack once you have it you want more All right, we've got Red Knight from Bismarck North Dakota. That's a that's a town with a great name in the Great Place 201 88 deepest condolences to the Dvorak's Currys and all who have been touched by JCD My keeper and I were traveling and we had stopped at the world's largest truck stop in Iowa along Route 180

2:29:49 We had just sat down for some lunch when I saw the announcement newsletter. Like many others, I was in disbelief! This isn't April? Reading it again and my keeper could tell something was wrong...I handed her my phone who is also very saddened after reading this news. Since we were traveling for a few days, I wouldn't be able to send a proper note or donation. The added delay gave me the time needed to process and reflect I don't know when exactly, but I discovered JCD. But I'm pretty sure it was when he was a guest on Twit early in my marriage 2000's My Keeper at work training in the San Francisco area. I gleefully tagged along and during this time I frequently watched listened to Twit

2:30:33 They would meet at various venues to record the show. I guess this could have been the original Meetups? I was able to be part of the audience on two recordings in two different venues Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose others i don't recall and of course John C Dvorak JCD was new to me at the time and didn't know all his vast history like I do now At first, I wasn't much of a fan of JCD however. The more he popped up on Twit and later listened to No Agenda the more I appreciated his direct no-nonsense delivery His stories from past experiences always had my attention as well as many tips He even used a tip suggestion I sent him called Drop Stop that goes between your front car seat and console Several times after this I tried to feed him with more tips but nothing stuck

2:31:22 One of the tips I sent, he said this isn't a tip. This is a product promotion." And i remember that original drop stop because I was like oh I need that because if you've ever dropped anything in your car and it goes between the seats... Oh yeah! It's good product. I recall that. It was a cool product one last thing I'd like to share about John too is his mentioning of giving a short sentence review of products like a book for example quote couldn't put it down or quote a real page turner unquote I just so happen to own a game for the Apple IIgs called Crystal Quest. On the front of the box is a sticker with a few more of those one-liners, our very own JCD has a comment quote hottest game in town unquote. I've often thought about sending him this box with donation of course and see if he would sign it for me another part of me thought they may fall into the depths of his studio to never be found again that's probably more likely

2:32:19 It's never good timing when a loved one leaves us. However, John sequence of events seems appropriate 1 give everyone a scare with major surgery 2 needed passwords digital things are realized 3 John is recovering we need promotion red knight order of the heart 4 time passes and grousing per usual 5 evening of the final event John calls to his soulmate spend a few more minutes together then silently exits. My continual prayers to the Dvoraks and Curries that our Heavenly Father will carry you through this valley and give you the strength for the next chapter. John truly was a national treasure, Red Knight Sir Brendan, FEMA Region." Well thank you very much! That's uh again as we heard from the clip directly at the start of this show...

Dvorak and it's funny I've heard from more than a few people when they posted about John, that starts at first I wasn't a fan Because you didn't really understand John.

2:48:18 They toasted JCD's memory and they say we miss him and remember him with fondness. And there was a nice picture, some very good looking trolls out there for the meetup. Which is what we like to see and celebrating JCD I mean, what better way to go than to find a bunch of people who have similar Ideas as you and aren't gonna Go crazy if you disagree with them which is also a plus because We're living in the world now where people all your wearing a red cap. You're you're the devil No not at a meetup Everybody's cool And then we had a North Georgia meet up and that is headed up by sir Bob

2:49:00 and he's got the meetup report here. He doesn't know if I'll be playing him, oh yes i will!

Dvorak Meet Up We had a great night, we had the best turnout we've had in a long time. Everybody's here talking about how great John was and how much he meant to us So I want to pass the phone around and have everybody give a little bit about what John meant to them And i'm going to start with that Mine is... A couple of things I want to say about John One thing he used to say that always cracked me up when he would go Oh brother! The reason it meant so much to me because my mother is the same exact age as John From a different part of the country

2:49:49 But I guess their generation said the whole thing, because when I'd be with my mom and we would be playing cards and doing things. And she would go oh brother! It made me think of John. When John would say Oh Brother that would make me think about my Mom so that was a really important thing to me it made feel special with John and my mom The other thing is one thing I'm going to say that I want to take to celebrate Thunder because everyone has probably got the same thing to say I'm gonna miss the three by three. I love the three by three, so rest in peace John C Dvorak. I'm gonna pass the phone around and we're gonna get everybody else thoughts about John Adam Mimi And all of Dvorak children may God bless you keep you make his face shine on you and be gracious to you look upon You with favor and give you peace next letter that comes from quote seronymous market return descender

Show Outro, JCD ISOs and Dvorak's Chair Squeaks

The episode concludes with several "In Search Of" (ISO) clips featuring classic John C. Dvorak moments, including his "Chef's kiss" and "Stumping the podcaster" drops. The hosts sign off from FEMA Region 5 and Connecticut, playing a closing mix titled "While Dvorak's Chair Gently Squeaks." They remind listeners to support the show at noagendadonations.com.
