No Agenda Episode 1894 Introduction, New Intro Testing

Darren O'Neill and Larry Blyden open episode 1894 of the No Agenda Show on August 13, 2026. The hosts test a new "media assassination" introduction produced by Jess Baker, comparing the vocal style to James Earl Jones and characters from Battlestar Galactica. They reference the "Podfather" and his desire to move away from previous introductory styles.

darren o'neill· larry blyden· gitmo nation· jess baker· james earl jones· thulsa doom· podfather

00:00 It's the No Agenda Show with your hosts Darren O'Neill and Larry Blydener. In the Morning. It's Thursday, August 13th 2026 this is your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1894 and we are broadcasting live from just outside of Chirac don't need a rain stick in FEMA region number five in the morning everybody I am Darren O'Neill And from the pretentious Connecticut shore I'm Larry Blyden keeping commies and creeps at bay with my scimitar of truth It's Darren and Larry in the morning. Yeah, thanks to Jess Baker for that intro I think we need maybe a little longer

00:45 Yeah, maybe a little more underpinning for that spot. But I like it. The voice sounds like some cyborg from Battlestar Galactica. It's good. Did James Earl Jones do any voices for the Batman? I know he did Darth Vader but there was... Yeah, I don't know. Might have. He was a busy guy. It has that vibe to it. You get that really low. I liked him best as Thulsa Doom in Conan. But the Podfather was very clear. Gotta get rid of that fake and gay intro! So we're gonna be trying out a few and Jess Baker came in with the best. All I can say, if you can extend that a little bit, Jess? Yeah Give us a little more music at the end there Let's just reverse it make ours gay and fake How about that It's a whole new way to go But happy to be here because again the weather tried to take me out on Monday or was that Tuesday?

CHAPTER 02 / 46 Discussion

Illinois Weather, Derecho and Tornado Impact

A massive derecho storm system moved from Iowa into the Chicago area, bringing hurricane-force straight-line winds and a 300-yard-wide tornado. The hosts describe the intense sound of the storm and the resulting power flickering in Illinois. Criticism is directed at ComEd and the state's infrastructure for failing to handle these increasingly frequent severe weather events.

derecho· illinois· chicago· tornado· comed· infrastructure· weather

01:39 How were the power outages or no? Luckily, no. Our power stayed on most of the town around us seems to be out which is a kind of interesting but it all depends on which trees that didn't fall down in the earlier storms Sure look at the draw because this was a duration I mean max velocity It's a word i learned from him a duration came down from Iowa into the Chicago area and basically that just means a hurricane that is inland more or less, that type of wind straight line winds rather than the swirling that you get with a tornado. Although we also had a tornado so that started like maybe a mile from north of here and went

02:34 couple miles to the East and they said that was about 300 yards wide and just cut a nice sloth through slicer three yards. It's nothing in sky talk No, it was like whoa it was one of them was probably the worst Sounding storm because usually you know all the things go off You know bad thunderstorm tornado whatever it is okay? You'll kind of meander downstairs if you have to, usually not into the basement. This one was like okay go into the basement!

03:10 Now is that derecho d-e-r-e-c-h-o? Yes. That's Spanish for right! I don't get it, they're coming forward... Is it depending on was it headed let's see to the east is that one because of would be the better word izquierdo well not necessarily better than left hand thing is cookie word uh-huh hmm but it sounds I mean when people say and I don't think a tornado went right over us but it was a The sound of the storm was fairly interesting. And luckily, the power just went off and on a few times quickly... Just to scare you? A little flickering here? Pretty much but it's been weird. ComEd they've had multiple storms here in Illinois but I'm blaming again the infrastructure because we all know what's going on with the infrastructure Yes we do! When the power goes out now it's not like well and I get it these are really big storms

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

Chicago Bears Relocation, Indiana Name Change Rumors

Rumors suggest the Chicago Bears may announce a move that involves incorporating "Indiana" into the team's name as part of a new subsidy deal. The hosts discuss the political implications of Illinois politicians potentially letting the franchise leave the state. This shift would transition the team from a city-specific franchise to a broader state or regional identity.

chicago bears· indiana· pritzker· sportsball· nfl· illinois· stadium deal

04:05 That's a record I didn't want to take from Adams, home state there of Texas who had the most tornadoes in the season ever. Now Illinois has that record this year! Wow impressive so finally something. We finally got something besides the creepiest politicians. Oh and i'm telling you The Bears are gonna be...I think they were going to announce that today and part of the deal with the money is going to subsidize this is changing the name. Indiana's gonna be in the name, so Chicagoans are not going to be very happy with these politicians for letting their football team go. Sportsball! Yeah... but they expand their

04:52 Their league or whatever their distance so they went from being a city franchise to a state franchise now It's gonna be the Indiana Bears is that? They said Indiana was gonna be in the name. I haven't even yeah, I mean I'm assuming That's what it'll be mm-hmm and they'll probably closer to here So it's kind of nice. I mean if you really wanted to go to see football games but not usually where I'm Heading out no Yeah, maybe you'll move huh? I get out to say goodbye to Pritzker just move order to Indiana although Their weather has been obviously just as bad because it's walking distance from here. You know But that's not the Satan there's a lot of a lot insane things going on in the world We've got them all for you. I tell ya and the coverage here Why don't we start with the the Fauci phone? I see you've got the

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

Senator Ron Johnson, Fauci COVID-19 Pregnancy Data

Senator Ron Johnson reveals private communications from Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding potential cytokine storms and first-trimester miscarriage risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines. The discussion highlights a 2021 CDC paper by Tom Shambukuro, alleging that the reported 12.6% miscarriage rate was misleadingly calculated. Recalculating the data for women injected before 20 weeks suggests a much higher spontaneous abortion rate of 82%.

ron johnson· anthony fauci· covid-19· miscarriage· cytokine storm· cdc· tom shambukuro

05:46 the Senator Johnson and this he was on the clay and buck, and I'm sure he was everywhere but this The information coming out now is Beyond to the pale as Joe Biden would say is there any setup on your clip where we can jump into? Ron Johnson yeah No you could leap right in there sure Dr. Fauci writes, I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of period since many people have significant cytokine storm and fever after the second dose this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester. Theoretically only just theoretical yes And all we heard from public officials is that this was perfectly safe for pregnancy let me go on

06:41 In June of 2021, Tom Shambukuro he was the man in charge of safety surveillance systems for CDC published a grossly misleading paper in the New York England Journal Medicine where they looked at 827 confirmed pregnancies. 700 those pregnancies the women got their COVID injection in the third trimester after 28 weeks Of those 827, 104 suffered spontaneous abortion or miscarriage. The problem with those stats is they took the 104 divided by 827 came up with a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, which is about four times the rate of normal miscarriage rates on a confirmed pregnancy. But here's what they did that was so grossly misleading

07:33 700 of those women got their injection in the third trimester. A miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is defined as anything up to 20 weeks, so the relevant denomination about 104 miscarriages divided by 127 which puts a miscarriage rate at 82 percent. So Anthony Fauci knew about potential cytokine storms impacting the first trimester in miscarriages, told no one about it because of great vaccine hesitancy... There you go yeah those are stats that are

08:09 Those are hard to ignore when you're going up from a very small number because you were including all pregnancies in it. Now, if you were just looking at the first trimester and the pregnant women... I'm sorry, pregnant people should have been warned that this is a dangerous thing to take within the first trimester yet they were so afraid That this would cause vaccine hesitancy among everybody that they withheld that information. Oh yeah, you know I happened to flip through something I saw on Netflix or whatever it was called Get Gaudy right?

08:56 It was a show just about how like thousands of cops from many different agencies Tried to nail that guy for and I was still living in New York back then And he was a big personality in the news they called him the Teflon Don so forth And finally, the funny part was there was the FBI, the Organized Crime Task Force, and they were so intent on getting Gotti that they were screwing each other not giving intel it would have been vital to help them because they want to be like I got Gotti. Anyway if you think about that guy he's running a Gambino crime family

09:32 He did it for maybe five or six years. And all that time, if he had a hundred guys clipped, that would be a lot right? Probably less than that. Maybe even 200 but just considering that most of them were fellow murderers and horrible criminals so in some way he was maybe doing a little bit of public service right okay really But they were intent on getting this guy because they could file their nails and say look how cool I am How many people did Fauci kill? I mean, has anybody come up with a number for that with his lies and the way he misdirected everything. But he will never do a split second in jail. In fact look at the old lady she's flipping the bird to the M5Ms cameras now because he kind of knows he is impervious to prosecution it's really frustrating isn't it Oh yeah! He has the Biden pardon

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

Dr. Serena Chen, CBS Vaccine Advocacy Defense

Dr. Serena Chen, an OBGYN from New Jersey, defends the public health recommendation for pregnant women to receive mRNA vaccines despite private concerns raised by federal officials. The hosts criticize her appearance on CBS Evening News, arguing that the medical establishment ignored traditional safety protocols for pregnant women. They suggest that financial ties to pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer may influence these continued public endorsements.

serena chen· cbs evening news· mrna vaccine· pfizer· pregnancy· medical ethics

10:28 It's even worse is that the people that are backing him, this is a clip from CBS Evening News talking to Dr. Serena Chen and they're going to go down that this was still the right thing to do? I know it's insane To talk about this and the state of science today we have Dr. Serena Chen, OBGYN and Director of Advocacy at CCRM Fertility of New Jersey. Dr. Chen thank you very much for joining us Dr. Fauci has declined to comment on these messages when you read them, what do you make of it? You kidding! Did he really... I would like to take my Fifth Amendment rights to not say anything about anything about anyone ever did you expect him to know he's never going to and it's just really disgusting and that is the right word and I think was the one that Senator Johnson used

11:25 Because you see these comments privately discussing this, but they didn't make that public. It's like I understand both sides of that story but there would have been an easy enough way to say hey well if you're pregnant in the first 12 weeks be very cautious But no. Read them and what do you make of it? And there's your best journalist question right there What do you what do you make of it? Just when you read them, what do you make of it So, I see somebody who is an expert a global expert in infectious diseases looking at data and having a conversation with other expert colleagues about what is going on. He's got to make a big decision and he has to look at everything and perfectly reasonable to look at possible concerns ultimately though when you look at the data the risks and the benefits were really clear at that time

12:22 Yeah, they were really clear at the time that if you were in your first trimester there was an 84% chance your baby was going to die if you took the vaccine. That part was clear. No, no then she's telling you no. No that was clear that the vaccine was more helpful It's like so not to practice women at the same time it violated Conventional rules to pregnancy and vaccines that were in place for decades and decades Which was you get a baby in the oven? No vaccines for you just don't do it unless it's something absolutely horrific You know Ebola or smallpox

12:59 But this let's face it. This was a powerful flu, you know and reasonably healthy woman could be considered to survive it So very very evil stuff risks and the benefits were really clear at the time The reason people react to this is because there appears to be this gap between what's being said in private with all this Uncertainty and doubt and then what's being said in public? How do you read that I think that What he said in public ultimately obviously is the right thing. This is our recommendation today that all pregnant women should know. Did I hear that correctly? Yes, knowing everything we know now We would still stick a woman in the first trimester with an mRNA vaccine knowing

13:49 There is what 84% chance that the baby's not gonna make it because you know, we believe this science. Well you're not listening to the science madam What he said in public ultimately, obviously is the right thing. This is our recommendation today that all pregnant women should get the COVID vaccine every year and flu vaccine because we still know as he knew then that the risks of COVID are so much higher than the vaccine may have been some concerns about fever. Some concerns, concerns about fever. Wow!

14:29 Can we can you be have her on as a guest Aaron? I think we, you know could teach her thing or three maybe wouldn't that be fun if this data is correct or anywhere near correct 84% of women having a miscarriage and She's gonna say this all comes down to well there were concerns about fever. Yeah, it's absolutely Unbelievable that people are still hanging To that narrative the way that they are. I mean it makes zero sense Somebody must be puppeteering her you know Pfizer or something whatever, you know this can't be It's just its preposterous what she saying absolutely preposterous so there must be something else is another layer here We're not seeing well They're probably all afraid now that Donald Trump is cutting down the amount of childhood vaccines

CHAPTER 06 / 46 Discussion

Donald Trump Executive Order, Childhood Vaccine Schedule

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reduce the number of recommended childhood vaccines from 18 to 11. The order specifically directs the MMR vaccine to be split into three separate shots spaced out over time rather than a single combined dose. While the administration maintains that vaccines remain available and covered by insurance, mainstream media outlets report concerns from pediatricians regarding declining vaccination rates and debunked links to autism.

donald trump· mmr vaccine· hepatitis· measles· autism· executive order· pediatricians

15:23 And that's a great thing. Yes, it is. Morning, Carl. This is President Trump's latest move to reshape how Americans vaccinate their children. The executive order directs the federal government to cut the number of childhood vaccines recommended for all children from 18-11 and split the MMR vaccine into three separate shots spaced out across multiple doctors' visits. And the shots no longer recommended for all children such as the ones for hepatitis A and B are advised for certain high risk groups and a few will be based on consultation with a doctor

16:04 But it's important to note here that this does not ban any vaccines on the market. States still set their own school vaccination requirements and the administration says shots will stay available to families and covered by insurance, but pediatricians still have huge concerns here. Doctors say the administration has not provided new evidence justifying the changes And as repeating debunk claims linking vaccines to autism. And the fear here is that this rhetoric and new guidance will confuse parents, and make some of them hold off on getting their children vaccinated. This all comes at a time where we're seeing record measles cases in the US and declining vaccination rates. Yeah it's all de-bunked. Have you ever heard the media cover anything straight lately? No no I mean these people are awful

16:47 Figure we are it's like rather than reporting the story and saying well this side says this this side says this Yeah, almost unbelievable Now what's the subtext there parents are stupid. They're gonna be confused they can't understand anything We'll tell them what to do you know one of those she didn't get mentioned in this one I heard an ad was it on television or the radio Recommending now HPV which is you know a sexually transmitted thing It used to be that they were plugging it for 12 year olds and above now at the nine-year-old if you get an annual kid So how many how many nine year olds are sexually active, and what's wrong with that? These people are demented. No they're evil They're just goddamn evil they really are what is it about having complete control Yeah

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

CNBC Critique, Vaccine Administration and Autism Rates

The hosts critique CNBC's coverage of the vaccine executive order, noting the absence of medical doctors in the Oval Office during the announcement. They argue that the media is beholden to pharmaceutical advertisers and ignores anecdotal evidence regarding rising autism rates. The discussion emphasizes that the order does not ban vaccines but seeks to mitigate potential side effects by changing the administration schedule.

cnbc· tony fauci· mmr vaccine· autism· measles· pharmaceutical advertising· medical records

17:35 We've talked about it how in California, Illinois and other places you can't even get your child's medical records. No you cannot without their permission once they I don't know if it 12 years old. They'll decide what's right for them not you then why aren't the twelve-year olds voting oh wait they're gonna want that soon too? Oh yeah definitely it's coming yes no doubt about but listen here this is CNBC and just see how vehement there but everything Donald Trump mentions is unfounded, it has been debunked. Yeah there was some head scratching on the fact that I don't think there was actually a medical doctor in the Oval during that announcement and then this... There was no medical doctor in The Oval Larry! In The Oval? It's like an insider, The Oval. Right when did we not say Oval Office? But there was no medical doctor in The Oval because you know one has to be standing really this is the left

18:35 Don't have somebody standing behind the president Wearing the white coat. Well, then it's not believable and let's not forget they They failed to mention the fact that Tony Fauci Was never a practicing physician So how much of an expert is he really? Not much He's America's doctor Yeah But he never never like you know used a tongue depressor wait might've used it for something Maybe yeah There was a actually, a medical doctor in the Oval during that announcement. And then this notion from the president that some vaccines are the size of a soda bottle, that kind of raised some eyebrows too

19:16 Yeah, that's a great point to bring up Carl. And when I talk to pediatricians and other experts they always reiterate the fact that there is no scientific basis or rationale for any of the changes that were made and a lot of the actual claims that Trump was making during his speech yesterday are you know really debunked here and there is decades of evidence kind of supporting the opposite of that so a lot of what we heard yesterday again there is no scientific basis there This has to all be Pfizer financed. It just has to be who else would profit from this it is amazing really that this is a news report on CNBC and they are totally ignoring the fact that there are plenty of cases of antidotal evidence and I understand that is not proof

20:05 With that said when you're doing something like Trump is in this case He's taking the what's it measles mumps and rubella Vaccinations which are normally given at one time and the recommendation now is to spread those out each by a year where if you do them that way There seems to be no problem. Well less problems with side effects never say no problems with side effect No, when it comes to anything medical but the foundation I'm sorry dad Why is that such a problem to the left to go? Well you know what we think may be having these three together and

20:49 Has caused an uptick in autism and they're gonna tap dance all the way to the bank To try to explain why autism rates have gone through the roof, you know But at the same time they're lying about the fan foundational evidence You know They've blown measles up to be You know equal to do a bowl or some horribly fatal ailment It's not and it never was and they've inflated all their research. You know, it's a complete lie I mean I had measles when I was a kid there is no vaccine for it then And you know you get Some spots on your face and he felt crappy for a couple of days and then we're good to go Nobody dude. I don't remember anybody ever getting seriously ill and certainly there were no deaths from measles as kids but now so good the whole you know what the whole thing is

21:38 Basically, they want Americans if anything bothers you from a hangnail to you just kind of feel gloomy take a pill get a shot That's the answer. It's all in chemistry really that's and with that it's control Yes, because they control who gets the shot and who has access to it or what? You're going to have to pay for it but in this case I there I don't think anybody can deny That for some reason autism has gone through the roof and this is a an attempt with very little downside except for the fact in that's hilarious to me that the left says well this just means parents are gonna have to take their kids to the doctors more it's like I'm sorry your kid should be going to the doctor once a year anyway for a checkup

22:26 when they're young, you know? It's like that's just... If they're over 12 they'll decide down. Right but the vaccines are way before then! Yeah But it's like so what's the downside?! They keep pumping them after that Of course they do! And they figure out how they can get more money and which pills they give them and somebody will walk in and say hey tell me about Jardians yeah it is just insanity and it's sad that this is where we have gotten And it's sad that we have a news media that seems to be more beholden to the advertiser dollar than producing his story. Because in this case, this is the least... Think about it! Think if there was actually some... Trump was saying stop a certain drug He's not he's saying just separate these into three so that way there's less of a chance of an interaction and they're going nuts Sure stay out of our sandbox It's ours You're not invited Trump

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Naomi Wolf, New York City mRNA "Zombie" Theory

Author Naomi Wolf describes a "missing vibe" and a "zombie-like quality" in the population of New York City following mass mRNA injections. She attributes this perceived loss of human energy and magnetism to the effects of lipid nanoparticles on the body. The hosts corroborate this observation, noting a change in the city's pace and social connectivity, while also mentioning plummeting birth rates.

naomi wolf· mrna· new york city· lipid nanoparticles· zombie apocalypse· birth rates

23:24 But you know there's a kind of lighter side to the Covid Fauci mess. I have something here from Naomi Wolf, do you have that one? Yeah. You go to a city like New York or Boston or LA and there is like a missing vibe in people who have suffered this mass injection New York City is overwhelmingly mRNA injected and I went there and I just felt like something's missing. It is like a zombie apocalypse, it's like where's the human energy? Where's that energy of people kind of grooving off each other, like resonating with each other? And if you think about what the lipid nanoparticles are

24:09 That could explain this kind of weird zombie-like quality that human beings who had these mRNA injections Stop. Sort of exhibit stop. Are there zombies now? Oh, listen Listen before we get to the zombie aspect notice her vocabulary This woman is very smart right did you notice or use the word vaccine and Did she? I don't think she did. No, no she didn't! She chose the correct word... Injections It was never a vaccine not even for a nanosecond A complete fraudulent lie Right and you know as i'm always braying about The left the left they must

24:53 Change the vocabulary to their thing so you know what I'm not gonna call it a vaccine anymore. She's right It's an injection and never say progressive that says camouflage for commie Okay, Kovac migrant no it's an illegal alien Right gender now sex was just a perfect word for it until a sick pedo who should have been parboiled named John money Came up with calling people sexuality Gender, it's BS. Hate speech? There is no such thing you know when you use their words they win and I really got to applaud this chick for calling those injections that's all they were. Explain this kind of weird zombie like quality that human beings who had these mRNA injections sort of exhibit and the sense of like loss of allure or loss of connection loss of magnetism

25:49 Bill Barhydt, Jr. Interesting. The truth they might have actually been to you know real real women's and homes not the dog pound How dare you interact with people face on the street? Yeah, I mean New York was absolutely it there She's not kidding. It had a vibe of people who wanted to connect it was everywhere on buses in the subway and restaurants There is always kind of a crackle of people

26:29 Trying to connect you know and I was visited for the first time in ten years a few months ago And I was trying to figure out what's what's wrong. There's something like The word zombie crossed my mind people People in New York used to they didn't walk they trotted everywhere there really fast walkers that's gone They're just kind of loping along You know nice and slow, and you go to a saloon or a restaurant you look around and they're all kind of in slow motion, and that's not the way it was before. And I'm sure she is correct that 99% of them took the injection and she had a much larger piece to say about how these nanoparticles have affected deleteriously people's

27:13 genitals. You know, these are really bad things she says have happened because of how much of that is correct? I don't know but i could corroborate her theory on the zombification of the New York populace Lot less people getting laid in New York exactly birth rates of plummeted t-cells are in the toilet You know it kind of makes sense well Then you see that the younger generation isn't really into dating and they just want to sit on their phone And you mix all these no closer together? You're totally correct if the phone is a huge. Maybe the biggest factor yes, then you're gonna have a whole new

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

Morning Joe, MMR Vaccine Safety Debate

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC's Morning Joe label Trump's vaccine schedule changes as "dangerous and false." The hosts mock Scarborough's claim of having "studied" the medical evidence and suggest the network's stance is driven by Pfizer's advertising revenue. Additionally, they note that "Fauci" has entered the Urban Dictionary as a verb meaning to plead the fifth or avoid self-incrimination.

morning joe· mika brzezinski· joe scarborough· mmr vaccine· pfizer· urban dictionary

27:49 generation in the United States and in the civilized world where the Chinese they don't let their kids sit on the phone all day. No, they do not. They're not using the one child birth rate anymore per couple so there gonna be pushing that but The clip collector sent me this and it kind of works here. This is the morning Joe response to the Trump childhood vaccine now if you really want journalisming, Morning Joe and Mika they're where you go. Oh yeah for sure. All right big news yesterday Big News! Big Big News

28:29 Breaking. President Trump signed an executive order seeking to reshape vaccine recommendations for children on the current schedule, children are vaccinated against 18 diseases but Trump's plan would only vaccinate against 11 his order also calls for the MMR vaccine for measles mumps rubella to be separated into three different single shots It's currently given in one dose and there is no credible evidence that separating them provides a safety advantage. Not one study, the president also made a dangerous and false claim yesterday about the MMR vaccine. Dangerous and false claims? False what can they be Darren? And no data well is there any data that says uh they're perfectly safe? No I mean you need

29:22 We may need studies that look at groups that do a test for the parents that want their kids to get the three and separate them, and then see if there's a difference. But that is going to take 10-20 years for any real answers. And I can't really go against what Donald Trump said which is if this is all we have to do is separate them and everybody still gets the full coverage it just might be a little bit safer why would you be so against that MSNBC? It's not control. How about you leave it up to the parents let them decide that what they don't like no They don't like that we have the MMR We wanted in three separate vaccinations given at separate times Together there could be a possibility they're quite lethal and separately It looks like they are not at all lethal, but just very effective I think I heard you say that the MMR vaccine for those months of abella is quite lethal

30:20 Is there any evidence of that? What I've heard is that there are some people that say it is that way. And, I say well let's say there's a 5% chance of it Let's split it up because they do say given individual MMO That given individual there is no impact In fact they said how safe it seems to be But when you put them together they can't be explosive That's just not true. To be clear, that's just not true! To be clear, Mika. I've studied...that's absolutely... He studied? Yeah he is a doctor now. Joey is a doctor now yes he studied. He probably called Anthony Fauci No doubt

31:09 By the way, you know... Oh good. Continue. There's no medical evidence except Bobby might have said it well yeah Again, if somebody tells you that you're going to do these three things anyway but if you do them in this order they might kill you. If you do them the other order that's much safer. Well wouldn't you do them in the other order? No because Pfizer needs those profits quarterly You got to mix em all in One time yeah Listen to the science

31:50 Yes. And I don't understand why you wouldn't again just cover that story with, well there is no evidence but what harm is it going to do? It's not like he's saying no we're not gonna do these vaccines anymore Right, well let's how much does Pfizer contribute to their ad revenue each year? That's I think your answer is probably there. Probably a lot for... Of course! Of course that's why they're so vehement about this. They're foaming at the mouth to defend that crap Trying to watch any kind of news coverage it's very

32:26 Much like a reverse mortgages. There's that's right medications usually for you know the same drugs It's too much ask your doctor today it has to be a 90-second ad too because 60 seconds are gonna tell you what might happen including death And the people in them always have that kind of zombie thing going on. Have you noticed that? None of them moves very quickly and... They might all be AI by now! Maybe, maybe they are By the way did you know that Fauci's name is now listed in The Urban Dictionary I don't want to know. It's as a verb, to plead the fifth, to refuse to answer a question especially avoiding self-incrimination so it has an example it says interviewer quote did you see who ate the last slice of pizza? Me! I'm gonna fauci on that one So there ya have it At least its not any crazy sexual thing yet which is what normally That'll come In The Urban Dictionary Now we've had the election You and I talked about

Wisconsin Primary Elections, Hong vs. Crowley Results

The Wisconsin primary election results showed a narrow defeat for DSA-backed candidate Hong against David Crowley, despite polling suggesting a 20-point lead for Hong. The hosts analyze live coverage of a late-night ballot surge in Brown County that shifted the margins. They describe the outcome as the Democratic establishment "striking back" against progressive insurgents, noting that Republicans had meddled in the race by running ads for Hong.

wisconsin· dane county· brown county· david crowley· dsa· bernie sanders· election fraud

33:29 Ms. Hong in Wisconsin, and as long as we're picking on NBC this is their coverage on it This is the other interesting thing that really was not clippable but it proves to me that social media is complete and utter garbage It is completely inaccurate. It doesn't matter if you're on the left or on the right, your most likely getting things that are not true because this clip of NBC covering the elections was posted by a bunch of right leaning accounts

34:16 and half of them called them CNN, half of them called them MSNBC. It's right there on the video you can see the little thing on the bottom that shows you what it is so you're posting a video that clearly says NBC and you're gonna be like oh even CNN's amazed! But its not CNN Okay, and Hong is losing statewide by 6400 votes with you know nearly 60% of Dane in her margin here is only 3732. I mean this is supposed to be the idea of a if this was going to be a sort of DSA earthquake in Wisconsin This was gonna be its epicenter Dane County

35:09 This is what Dane County looks like with almost 60% of the vote in. So again, zoom out I've been processing this and reserving judgment and the possibilities here but they're very friendly along precincts in Dane and everything but you that's a lot of voting in Dane County and that margin there has not opened up the way I think a lot of people expected it was going to. Meanwhile, okay waiting on central count in Milwaukee Waukesha just a tick more came in since we last checked nothing there in Washington in Ozaki So yeah they're really not sure what's going on but let's remember if you were watching the polling numbers which

36:05 Anybody that pays any attention to polls, you're out of your mind because they are never right. Before this election I think the polling on average had hung up like 20 or 22 percent. She lost! But what I saw, like it's a day or so ago was she lost by just a hair. Yes, it was very narrow margin right? Am I correct? Very yeah but she was supposed to win by 22 percent So you know and here for an insane commie She did pretty damn well oh yeah really this is the Democrat Party having its own little infighting

36:50 This was another clip of the same dude when all of a sudden, out of nowhere... A ballot surge came in! By mail? Overnight? Probably yes. On a USB stick that wasn't the right USB stick or something there were some weird things going on Okay Wow What the heck just came in Brown which was that the uh That was huge for her Yeah so that was about 18 000 votes Uh and she nets 2000 Question was that the I mean you can tell this guy even without the video Yeah, you can tell this guy is amazed by what just came in while he's covering. This live on the air Was it pulled out from under a desk and? Right probably it wasn't a banker's box that was found in janitor's closet right

37:50 That wasn't Central Count, was it? It's possible. There is no remaining vote in Brown according to our counter I'll check the website What...I said I want percent more but now i do because if that was vote...if that was Central Count what was his percentage of that vote? Um let's take a look If this was Central Count This is the question we're getting at from Milwaukee! He just got buried in Central Count Green Bay It was 44-34 Hong over Crowley Okay Okay, yeah. Can we ask our decision desk what we think that was? And do we think there's central count left for... Yeah can we ask our people what the hell just happened? Hmm really CNN says the establishment is striking back Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez they did not endorse her as they had endorsed Abdul Al Sayed in Michigan Senate Democratic primary I want to say i've been on cable the last few days

38:51 I like a little laugh tell there. John they are very surprised and not only were they talking about this campaign, and how they would Effectively use some of her comments. They were trying to prop her up at the same time a remarkable play here The Republican Governors Association was spending more than four million dollars running ads showing that she's as strong a progressive well That was seen as a way to effectively meddle in this race so Republicans were hoping to run against her that did not happen So this races is a

39:39 an example of the establishment striking back. But John, I'm also thinking back to an interview I had with David Crowley on Sunday evening. I asked him about that establishment thing he said look, I'm established but I am not a member of the establishment if he would win who be the first African American governor right here in Wisconsin? Yeah, have you checked Crowley's policies? No it's probably not a whole lot different. It's almost identical to hers so really you know it's the same thing they'll make great hay out of Crowleys nonsense. Well its because Democrats be Democrating That's true People are like oh you guys are all one-sided and it's like show me where I'm wrong This was an interesting little blurb when they were talking about

CHAPTER 11 / 46 Discussion

Barack Obama Indiana Ballot Fraud, Save America Act

A discussion on CNN regarding the Save America Act brought up a historical instance of fraudulent ballot signatures used to get Barack Obama on the primary ballot in Indiana. The hosts highlight that Democratic officials went to jail for this scheme, yet the CNN anchor dismissed it as a localized "Indiana issue" rather than a broader voting integrity concern.

barack obama· indiana· david axelrod· ballot fraud· save america act· cnn· election integrity

40:23 this on CNN and of course all of the voting, the Save America Act. This was something that even surprised me. This was a White House spokesman saying that Obama shouldn't have been on the ballot illegally in Indiana This is good. In Arizona, he hired the ninjas what were they called? The cyber ninjas. I'll give you an example where it has been determinative and that's in my home state of Indiana St Joseph County the gentleman you previously worked for David Axelrod Barack Obama got on the ballot because Democrats in that county submitted fraudulent ballot petition signatures people including the Democrat county chair went to jail

41:05 over that. Barack Obama should not have been on the primary ballot in the state of Indiana, but that's not a voting issue like that. Can you believe this is what it's not? A voting issue. That's not what to save America Act is going to help with. This is the guy on CNN. Oh, but that's not a voting wait. The guy shouldn't have been on the ballot he got on the ballot illegally. But do CNN that's not a voting issue in the state of Indiana. But that's not a voting issue, like that's something... Well it is a voting issue because he was on the ballot and people could vote for him and he shouldn't have been. That's not a Save America Act issue though, they're stealing elections illegals are voting. That's an Indiana issue because Indiana is the one that determines who's on their ballots right now How did how did that get determined?

41:54 And that's Axelrod asking, he was like wait. How did this happen? Who was that idiot I mean that's incredible the guy from CNN. I don't know which anchor that was. How did how did it get determined it was finally exposed two years later It went through the courts and several people found themselves in jail but that's the problem it didn't happen they didn't find it before he was on the ballot but after Oh, but that's just an Indiana problem. Just in Indiana yeah The way the system works you got to be amazed You do and revolted Jen Psaki I hate the term But said the quiet part out loud that The Democrats used to be the ones picking the candidates not like letting the people decide

CHAPTER 12 / 46 Discussion

Jen Psaki, Democratic Party Candidate Selection

Jen Psaki and Liz Smith admitted on air that Democratic party leadership historically selected nominees through funding and endorsements rather than letting voters decide. The hosts discuss how this dynamic is shifting with the rise of "woke" DSA candidates who focus on Medicare for All and protecting illegal immigrants. They argue these candidates struggle in working-class areas despite their popularity in university settings.

jen psaki· liz smith· dsa· democratic party· primaries· woke universities

42:43 It is really, and I want to bring Liz Smith into this conversation because Liz and I grew up in Democratic politics. We're still young of course but we grew up in Democratic politics together and I think we both remember well when party leadership really selected the nominees now you would never say it that way exactly but they would... But you can now! Now we can, we're free You know, they really did because they would put money behind it. They would endorse and now it looks very much like party leaders are not picking the nominees in fact party leaders pushing nominees is a negative. It's a negative in many of these races but... What you mean are the ones with the highly leftist DSA candidates? Is what your saying Yeah

43:31 These people are no good right? You remember yeah, you remember I love it. I love it in the morning to you both in the morning morning in the morning It's where real podcasting began was it 22 years ago 20 was it for 2020 304 oh I thought it was a three. You launched an enterprise on the 13th of the month? That's very... No, no, no. Bold! Bold! I don't want to interrupt your flow here because this is so interesting these DSA people you look at their response on social media and you think that they were already in the House or in the Senate Oh another communist won These are primaries Yes It's meaningless

44:26 Yeah, they still have to go through the big election. Yeah and if you look at what's Al-Fayed is that the guy's name? Al-Fayed. From now on known as Al-Fayed. He's got a look like Alf in any album art. You know if you look at the primary results none of the working class areas voted for him none of them It's all, and I understand these are all highly educated highly debt laden people who got sadly psyoped into believing that if you go to a university then you will be rich when you go into the workforce. You'll do just fine

45:09 And the two things that changed is their parents allowed them to go to woke universities, the woke universities were allowed to exist. They came out with gender studies degrees and they're useless! So yeah it's all about a hate Trump protects our community of illegals And Medicare for all. It's all the things that have already been adjudicated in Congress, and I think this is great! There are a lot of Republicans who are nuts too but these people...I don't see them winning

CHAPTER 13 / 46 Discussion

Abdul El-Sayed, DSA Platform and Millionaire Taxes

Abdul El-Sayed, a Rhodes Scholar funded by the Soros Foundation, is highlighted for his ties to the Obama-Axelrod political machine. The hosts critique the DSA platform, which includes abolishing ICE, defunding the police, and creating state-run grocery stores. They play a clip of a DSA co-chair struggling to define the specifics of a proposed "millionaires tax" during a Fox News interview.

abdul el-sayed· dsa· george soros· ice· defund the police· millionaires tax

45:46 Well, have you seen El Sayed doing his cowboy dance? No. Oh wait a minute! He should come to Texas with that right yeah I would have brought a clip it was just musical and Darren you should know he looked he was dressed like the cowboy from The Village People and kind of moved like him too And he learned it! He learned the dance. He's doing is dance to a Taylor Swift tune so there you have it nice nice You know, but the guy you know he's completely from the whole Axelrod Obama background. I'm you know this this guy smells so bad Road Scholar okay not just a road scholar I checked on him part of his education was paid for by the Soros Foundation who by the way is 96 years old today happy birthday Wow

46:38 It's not like he's... Put him on! Put him on. It's not like he's sitting there stroking his white pussy, pun intended You know the Open Society Institute I mean that thing has been so ingrained across the world it's a machine So that is a real problem But DSA? Who runs the DSA Who are the leaders of the DSA? Who's running this nobody knows no one talks about it. They never do in interviews I thought it was Antifa No, there is no such thing as that's right It's an idea Joey says just a thought its concept This was a co-chair on Fox actually went hard to believe for an interview on Fox and had a really hard time explaining The millionaires tax

47:35 Now Hong also wants to abolish ICE, defund the police push government-run socialized health care for all create state run grocery stores and allow transitioning treatments for minors. Sounds like a plan. Some of those points are pretty consistent with her past pledges especially her attacks against law enforcement All of that appears in lockstep with the broader DSA platform, which critics say is so detached from reality that even the co-chair has trouble explaining a key pillar of it—high taxes. — Do you believe there should be millionaires in this country? — I'm less concerned about millionaires and more concerned about billionaires… We do believe in taxing the hell out of millionaires… — If you're the co-chair at the DSA shouldn't you be more specific than just taxing the hell out of something? What exactly do you mean?

48:23 So again, it's democracy right? And we have to look at what we need to spend. Right! We look at what we spend and what we need and we just take it. Take it for money. Spend... It's one hell of a plan. It's a great plan They're only concerned about billionaires which again if you take all the money from all the billionaires are still not going to pay for what you want But it's crazy because these kids who are all in on this, cause I have a daughter in New York. Stepdaughter but she is my daughter and you know...I was pretty successful at deprogramming her during COVID-19 It was difficult We started at You guys are white supremacists Why do you say that? She went to University of Arkansas

49:13 really woke, woke super woke college who know. Oh yeah oh it's it's really incredibly woke or whatever we used to call... Woke one I guess I don't know what it is these days and so why do you say that? Well because you're watching Tucker Carlson every night Oh. Okay, and then of course Tina's like wait a minute you're living in the house your lifestyle is funded by white supremacists what's wrong with this picture? Anyway so she's in New York and definitely I will take some credit for deprogramming her maybe she even said hey you know guys were right

49:54 But when it came to Luigi trial, she was out there. Oh yeah! First of all she thought he was hot on the down low... What do you mean hot on the down low? Well he's secretly gay. Okay alright I'm learning all this stuff. So she was like free Luigi And I'm sure she voted for Mamdani. I'm pretty sure she did, you know he wants to give us stuff that we need Now here it is exactly... now since funny enough She's gotten into quite a career path where she doing quite well for herself But she was busing tables Slamming drinks at bars

50:36 And in that period, here she is highly educated with a poli sci degree. Kind of useless and you know she was like yeah I'm all in on this give me some free stuff so that's your audience? Yeah. I don't think it's that big No, because anybody that starts then making their own money realizes where that money's gonna go to pay for everything else that you were promised for free. Yeah exactly You de-incentivize somebody actually being successful Now the thing that is dangerous that I feel is something we need to look out for Is what my neighbor down the street Laura Logan she calls it The Red Green Alliance

CHAPTER 14 / 46 Discussion

The Red-Green Alliance, Texas School Board Curriculum

The "Red-Green Alliance" describes a political partnership between socialists and Islamic groups to influence local government and school boards. In Texas, citizens mobilized against a curriculum proposal that sought to remove Bible history in favor of Islamic teachings. The hosts also note the installation of Muslim foot-wash stations at Dallas Fort Worth Airport as evidence of this growing cultural shift.

red-green alliance· texas· school board· ramadan· ten commandments· dallas fort worth airport

51:17 which is the socialists with the Muslims. And this, I mean this is Texas is just out of its mind right now. Now there is a real concern here because I saw this happen in Europe. It takes 25 years but it can happen, but it's just kind of starting here in the United States because the last four years and even during Trump and before Trump this immigration...it's always immigration, it's not Muslims its immigration. Sure It's the apathy of people sitting around going like, City Council School Board who cares? You know like State Senate and nobody. And then these highly organized funded

52:07 groups like, you know the Socialists, the DSA. They start to meld with the enemy of my enemy. Oh wait a minute! You guys hate conservatives and Christians? Good! You'll be with us and we're gonna put it...a stamp on you and then you can go into government." And when you get to that point that's where you have to be careful because then, you know now someone has different ideas about what your city or your state God forbid your country should act like and be like. We had this big thing in Texas about the curriculum for the school board, I mean it was open for comments they literally had to do three days there were so many people who had comments and you had the socialists

52:53 who wanted no Ten Commandments, no Bible history lesson. They wanted Quran and all of this stuff and people came out you know people got organized they came out and then they said none that's not gonna happen here is what we're gonna do but that's only because people started to get mobilized and now it's just it's so crazy there was a article This morning, let me see it is Dallas here. Dallas Fort Worth Airport to install Muslim foot wash stations inside terminal bathrooms Well, everybody is just like this is an outrage! What's happening? Of course they did this at the Houston Airport in 2024. You know we have special pat-downs for seeks and turbans and all that so but now everyone's... Now they've completely gone nuts And they're fundraising off of it and I'm like we are so stupid The three of us are so stupid

53:50 Here's what we need to do. You go ahead in the pipeline for a long time I mean my older daughter is 26 and when she was in Second first or second grade at a public school in Los Angeles, okay? So that's 20 years ago They canceled St. Patrick's Day and replaced it with Ramadan. Whoa! Then, okay? So this is very real. But did you run for school board to stop that nonsense? No of course not I ran for cover. Hey morning zoo time everybody nice very good

CHAPTER 15 / 46 Discussion

Political Philosophy, Apathy and the "ASTCO" Concept

A host introduces the acronym "ASTCO" (Asshole Seeking to Control Others) to describe people obsessed with governing others' lives. They argue that most Americans simply want to be left alone but have become apathetic toward local governance like school boards and PTAs. This apathy, they claim, allows radical groups to change society "under their noses," as seen in Europe.

astco· communism· socialism· apathy· mtv· muslim brotherhood

54:28 But but but that that's what I Give myself the blame like I'm at 80s 90s. I was MTV guy. I wasn't making money You know time for your school board nonsense, but you know what? I think and I think that there's if you really boil it down to the very essence of Politics that goes back farther than the invention of communism or socialism or any this stuff There's only two kinds of people in this world And those on the left, I kind of called ASTCOs which stood for Asshole Seeking to Control Others. People who want to tell you what to do and most of us on the other side who have families and lives and jobs at MTV or elsewhere right? How do we live? We just want to be left alone, leave us the F alone. That's really what it boils down too so those ones that are obsessed

55:20 With controlling other people. It's just it's their religion It's just what makes them tick, you know And they'll always be doing it but that but to be an American is to represent and to get Get your ass in gear You're right It should be. We kind of forgot that, we took that for granted True And I will ring the bell about that because i saw it happen in Europe, I saw just apathy people like yeah whatever government never changes and it did right under their noses Right under their noses that changed What gets me is the amount of YouTubers and podcasters who are just making bank on this Muslim stuff. I mean, we have one Muslim donor, Sir Animas of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia He seems pretty okay to me he doesn't seem like a political radical Islamist but i think we just need to say it if you don't support no agenda the muslim brotherhood will take over this show

56:20 Can't deny it. Can't deny it at all! Who knows, Larry may be a sleeper cell for all I know? I feel like it Adam, I really do. I've never seen you in person man...I don't know. You got a beard? It's the same thing with Governor- no Gene has the beard. You gotta really be careful of Sir Gene. Gene looks just like a terrorist in general. Well that's true The people of soon that who is ever in charge doing the right thing by them and that lasted for so long because it was kind of the case for a long time they've completely checked out and it's the same whether its local government in the PTA or it's who you're electing for your state Senate or house or who you're electing to send to Washington. They're just assuming like well, the people that we put there they have our best interests at heart

Personal Voting History, MTV VJ White House Invitation

A host recounts his time as an MTV VJ, admitting he didn't start voting until his mid-20s while living in New York. He shares an anecdote about receiving an invitation from Hillary Clinton to visit the White House, which he missed because he was on assignment covering a pro-mogul skiing tour in British Columbia.

mtv· bill clinton· hillary clinton· voting· vjs· skiing· white house

57:16 The mainstream media gives them that story so they just go on their day, and they don't know what's going on at all. They're ignorant I think a part of it too is Parenting I never voted till I had kids because this I just didn't care What kind of world will leave behind? What do I care? I won't be in it Yeah about you out when did you first vote Adam just curious Probably not until Gosh probably not until I was in New York at MTV. So my mid-20s, and part of it was because we lived overseas. My parents did vote they you know it was a real hassle to get an absentee ballot these days. It just comes through your door! You got 100 of them? Look I got a whole mix of them. It was...you had to go the embassy, you had to show your papers, and he had to request it then you have to go pick

58:13 a real ordeal. My parents both did that and I think the only reason why, for the same reason you're saying Larry, the only reason why eventually did vote is at MTV these were all New Yorkers and they lived in New York and they were like voting day it's like oh no man i gotta go vote It was a thing, you know. And then I also hadn't really been in America growing up so that's when I realized oh crap! I probably should vote and I'm sure I voted for Bill Clinton. Mm-hmm. I'm quite sure of it You know, because it was cool. Boxes are briefs Mr President! And I got an invitation from Hillary to go visit the White House Did you really? I want to know more about this Yeah, I wish...I wish So didn't go? No, I had- I was on assignment at the time doing

59:06 I was the only guy who could ski at MTV. And they did a deal with these, with the mogul... The pro-mogul skiing tour? Which meant someone had to go out unfortunately someone had to go to every single awesome skiing place in the United States and British Columbia! I went to Whistler and you know and I would do the top 20 countdown a couple of segments And when I got back, someone said oh yeah you know this came to you up at the office. You have to understand the office and studio there was two different worlds that MTV news department which came in a certain point and they hated us they just hated the VJs. The VJ's were just scum to them we never got invited to the video music awards Oh yeah you can get a ticket if you fly yourself out. Wow

59:58 And so, and then this invitation had come in from the White House. I still have it! It came in from the White House... The First Lady requests your presence? I don't remember what it was for but so it already passed by the time I got the invitation. You were a ski bum. A ski bum yes indeed ski bum But yeah, to answer your question. You know mid-20s? Yeah Mid 20's and... And yeah you know so that is I people are right if you don't if you don't what's the acronym GYAGYIAG get your ass in gear GYAIG troll rooms already created an acronym Yagi!

CHAPTER 17 / 46 Discussion

Cultural Shifts in the Netherlands, Rotterdam and Amsterdam

The hosts discuss the degradation of Dutch culture due to mass immigration and the influence of the "Mocro Maffia" drug cartels in Rotterdam. They lament the "Disney-ization" of Amsterdam, where traditional shops are replaced by TikTok-driven tourist attractions. The segment touches on the loss of liberal social norms, such as public breastfeeding and topless beaches, which have been curtailed by changing demographics.

netherlands· rotterdam· amsterdam· mocro maffia· immigration· tiktok· stroopwafel

1:00:42 Then it can be taken away from you. I saw it happen and this feel when you go back to Netherlands and see what's all I mean that was really depressed the hell out of you does it well so the kids my daughter Kevin her I'll just call him fiance Because he's promised me that he will marry her. They're doing a reality show right now, so I said okay season two then and I'm fine with that. Don't mess with the podfather with the judge! Have someone else pay for it And of course my granddaughter, Cleo. Little baby Cleo who I have not held in my arms yet at the end of the month. You know all of Rotterdam... Not all but many parts of Rotterdam are just Moroccan now and that is an immigration issue which turns into a Muslim issue

1:01:35 Because they have their own schools, which are I guess technically not called a madras but it's probably pretty similar to it. The Macro Mafia as is known they run all the drugs in Holland all of it and they run the drugs all through Western Europe It all comes through the port of Rotterdam And so, you know my daughter doesn't necessarily feel safe walking alone. She can take care of herself but she doesn't like it and when we were there visiting a couple weeks ago she's like I think the topic of boobs came up

1:02:13 The boobs donation. It's a table talk. Well, it came up in the context of feeding the baby breastfeeding and in Europe is very common for women to breastfeed in public. It's not a big deal. In fact growing up in the Netherlands although a tad shocking to my parents in early-to mid 70s you go to the beach And Holland has beaches, it's right on the North Sea there. And everyone is topless men and women and it was just normal. The Dutch didn't even understand co-ed showers at the sports club! Now that has gone away over time but taking your top off as a woman on the beach wasn't seen as a big deal Well now oh no not only that but they have burkinis everywhere

1:03:10 So it's a burka bikini. And yeah, the freedom loving open kind of I will say liberal Society of the Netherlands is ruined change forever changed for ever What about the red zone in Amsterdam? That's still cooking. That's a tourist trap I mean they changed that a long time ago The coffee shops are dwindling because you can't sell it as a coffee shop So you have to keep operating until you drop dead even I don't think even your kids can assume it so all that cool stuff has gone and

1:03:52 Now it's nut jobs with TikTok influencers everywhere. There is a sign like, oh we have the stroopwafels from TikTok! This is the place you need to get them. There was never fresh stroopwafel bakeries in Holland. A baker might make them and now it's a TikTok attraction? It's all ruined. It has been Disney-ized Americanized Not Americanized. First of all, in Amsterdam there's no Dutch people it's all expats Wow Yeah Oh yeah I love Amsterdam It's so cool I ride my bike everywhere The grandma bike Yeah exactly

1:04:35 Yeah, but it's the same thing what's going on in London with starting to happen in Ireland. It's all just a destruction of culture and it's being done intentionally and everybody wants to just ignore it and say well be...it's good to have diversity. But it's not good to destroy cultures. No! Well if you look at these these DSA or DSA adjacent candidates. One of the big things they're talking about is affordability, okay? Affordability and this is something that's coming from both sides of the spectrum, affordability and endless wars

CHAPTER 18 / 46 Discussion

Global Oil Trade, US Steel Production and Tariffs

The discussion shifts to the strategic importance of the oil trade and the revitalization of the American steel industry through Section 232 tariffs. The hosts cite reports of a manufacturing boom in the U.S. and a shortage of skilled tradespeople like welders and electricians. They argue that Trump's focus on production and legacy is more significant than midterm election results.

oil trade· steel industry· tariffs· trump· mike rowe· straits of hormuz· manufacturing

1:05:22 You know, I've been looking at this Iran war since it started but before then as well. region and you know particularly 79 we all know that you what we did in 79. We've always been a part of the kind of well, the North Sea Nexus has always been about keeping keep get keep that region to keep it a problem so we can kind Own the oil trade, you know. Oil is still mainly traded on the ICE which is the British Exchange of course there's also Brent is traded in the United States or Texas crude WTI But the whole it's... You know The oil has always been the issue and for all these years 47 years as our dear old Lindy Hop would say Iran has just been a problem

1:06:19 And now everyone hates Trump, all sides hate him. But I think they're missing what he's doing. First of all, Trump doesn't care. He doesn't care if the Republicans lose the midterms. He doesn't care. He really does not care He has a couple things he wants to fix with America. The first one is production, factories I think he's largely succeeding if you see the jobs report Okay it's 5,000 jobs but came after another 15,000 that were created in previous report

1:06:57 I think it's 232 tariffs on steel, which makes anything coming from abroad that contains steel just too expensive. So I know a CNC milling guy here who says we almost can't handle the work and it's all American Steel, which he said yeah, it's more expensive, the prices are going to come down over time But if you look at the Chinese deal, it was crap. 40% you throw away which is no good So so the job I think that's the big part If I believe Mike Rowe and I tend to believe him there are 7 million jobs that need to be filled And there are seven half million people who just stop looking for jobs

1:07:47 Now, I don't know exactly why that is or if they're living with their parents. There's 40 thousand welders that are needed and another multi-ten thousand electricians you don't need a degree You can just go to an electrical company and say i'm willing to work They'll teach you right? They'll train you quick. I mean we have a guy here in Fredericksburg And he prepares the wineries. He does all the pre-planting, the harvest... Well of course the vines aren't really planted they stay there but all of the sprinkler systems and ice came through town. Oh we need a lot of employees! Ice has been through Fredericksburg several times and so you know all of his workers are gone and he is desperate

1:08:40 Be like, you know they're up to like $30 an hour. I'll pay anything just come and work for me So that's going to change And then that is that's kind of the point That's part of what what the president was doing now when it comes to Iran? I think everyone is seeing it incorrectly This is you know we have the choke points The main one being Straits of Hormuz You know we have the Suez Canal There's another one there I'm forgetting the name, but you know these are the maritime routes and i'm just going to put fertilizers and stuff to the side. And when there's problems in the region then the oil doesn't flow as it should this is a bad example.

1:09:28 Bank of America guy talking about on CNBC. Well, it's a bit of a laundry list So to the extent that the US and Iran cannot come down to an agreement To allow free passage remember we are seeing just about five two ten ships a day We need to see about 140 to be back at pre-war levels And frankly to stabilize the market we probably because we're rerouting through Saudi Arabia in the UAE We probably need to see 80 to 100 ships a day so again. We need to see roughly 10 times the flow of ships to normalize prices and prevent an escalation into the winter. So, the analysis that no one is giving is that this entire operation started a year before the kinetic operation And it's our gay general patent Scott Besant on The Down Low who started Operation Economic Fury

CHAPTER 19 / 46 Discussion

Operation Economic Fury, Scott Bessent on Iran

Scott Bessent, described as a key economic strategist, outlines "Operation Economic Fury," a plan to cripple the Iranian economy through hyperinflation and missile production strikes. The goal is to force a ceasefire and render the Straits of Hormuz irrelevant for global energy transport. Bessent predicts that within two years, energy will move primarily through underground pipelines rather than contested maritime routes.

1:08:40 Be like, you know they're up to like $30 an hour. I'll pay anything just come and work for me So that's going to change And then that is that's kind of the point That's part of what what the president was doing now when it comes to Iran?

1:10:21 He in this clip, I'm glad I got this one he he explains exactly what the plan has always been and what it's going to be And then I have some clips to back up that is happening shouldn't at Treasury. We did economic fury What goes little publicized is you know on the kinetic side? Air Force was wiped out Navy's wiped out a big portion of their missiles more importantly their missile production On the economic side, we have them by the throat and they've got 150-180% food inflation. Not able to pay the troops so I think shortly maybe even today tomorrow We are going to see an agreement 30 60 day ceasefire

1:11:11 The straight will be open, energy prices should come down. There are some who have speculated the straight will never go back to being the way it was before. What would you say? I think they're saying that in a doomsday sort of way. I would say it another way. The straight is never going back to the way it was because the Iranians have used or tried to use it as a choke point, what we are going to see over the next two years is that the strait's gonna become irrelevant. It is going to become just another body of water and I would say that more than 50%-70% of the energy that moves through the strait now is gonna go through underground pipelines." My favorite topic! The pipeline

CHAPTER 20 / 46 Discussion

UAE Pipeline Expansion, Bypassing the Strait of Hormuz

The UAE is fast-tracking the expansion of the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely by 2027. This strategic shift by Gulf monarchies aims to secure oil exports to the Gulf of Oman, away from Iranian interference. The hosts suggest this "chess move" will stabilize global energy prices and create a lasting legacy for the current U.S. administration's foreign policy.

uae· abu dhabi· fujairah· sheikh khalid· oil pipeline· opec· suez canal

1:11:58 Yes, and all these pipelines are already in place. They've been used they're not big enough to make up for the 20 million barrels of oil per day But they're being expanded if you recall the UAE Saudi Arabia all these guys got oil Iran's not the only one They stepped out of OPEC, which means one thing. They can pump as much as they want. They're not restricted by the rules of the oil-producing economic communities or countries and they're doing it in this This crown prince dude, he's not messing around. The Strait of Hormuz has been a key energy artery of the world A narrow stretch of water just 33 kilometers wide at its tightest point through which nearly 1 5th of global energy supplies passes But now as Iran continues to restrict global shipping access through the strait The UAE is expediting an alternative oil trade route

1:12:55 Abu Dhabi is moving with unusual speed to ensure that its economic future is no longer tied to Hormuz. The UAE has ordered a fast-track expansion of a major West East oil pipeline, a project designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely The directive came from UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed Bin Zayed, who has been asked Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to accelerate construction timelines. At the center of this strategic shift is Fujairah Unlike most Gulf export terminals, Fujairah sits on the Gulf of Oman outside the Strait of Hormuz That makes it one of few safe exit points for Gulf oil if the strait remains disrupted

1:13:39 The UAE already operates the Hapshan-Fujairah pipeline, capable of moving up to 1.8 million barrels of crude per day But now Abu Dhabi wants to double that capacity by 2027 It means that Gulf monarchies are no longer treating Hormuz disruptions as temporary crisis They are building for a future where they will be no longer reliable on the strait And this marks a fundamental strategic shift For years, energy security in the region was built around the assumption that global navigation through Hormuz would continue. Now with Iran's restrictions through the strait, that assumption has collapsed." So look at the two-year timeline that Besen is talking about – that's 2028. These pipelines will be in full operation. There's even a pipeline that Iran built that goes up the coast of Israel. You've got to wonder why we're going to protect that?

1:14:34 bypassing the whole Suez Canal nonsense. That was built in like 1967, that's being reactivated now so by 2028 the oil will be flowing just the same as it was maybe even a little bit earlier but by 2028 steel industry will You know, for every job you create in at the top end of steel there's like six jobs downstream. People are going to be back at work just around the time when we're gonna have a general election new president will come in doesn't matter who it is they're not gonna say to the steel producing states well that's no good right send them back to China because you'll never get elected

1:15:13 So I think what the president is doing, yeah. I love the trope trust the plan Yeah okay this is not 5D chess This is just chess that no one's reporting on It's that simple Some Indian lady is where have to get these clips from You kidding me? so That's what going on and it will be good I feel very good about it And the president does not care about The midterm election I don't think he even cares about who comes after him No, he wants his legacy. That's it! Yeah that'll be his legacy and you know and of course they'll have an arc and all the Arc de Triomphe, Arc De Trumpf all that stuff... You know? He's kind of weird that way but those two general missions I think are good

CHAPTER 21 / 46 Discussion

AI Data Centers, Nuclear Power Renaissance

The massive energy demands of AI data centers are driving a renaissance in nuclear and gas-fired power generation. Companies like Westinghouse are seeing a surge in demand for small modular reactors (SMRs) as market forces, rather than government subsidies, build out new energy infrastructure. The hosts argue that even if the AI bubble bursts, the resulting increase in power capacity will benefit American productivity.

ai· anthropic· nuclear power· data centers· westinghouse· carbon free· energy grid

1:15:59 And then probably, he probably trust the plan everybody. Probably has seen that this AI thing is going to blow up because he may not understand it but he's not stupid He knows numbers. I'm sure he goes to Darius at Anthropics and says, so what's your profit? Well nothing! We're burning money literally burning money on computer chips well okay then let me fast track all of these power plants nuclear gas fire turbines well that's going to be great So whether these

1:16:38 Data centers work out or not whether they get filled or not, whether they're used or not There's gonna be a lot more power. A lot of power and power is... Power equals life and productivity No matter what I mean that's just the basics of any economy Power that's why the Chinese have done so well. They've hydro power they they never went on the green energy scam So they're just burning coal that they also have some I think there was some huge fusion magnet thing There, I don't know if that'll ever work but you know it may just create a hole in the universe and

1:17:14 Don't you wish that he would be some concern about the midterms? Because look, you get the lefties back in there. Just think about Joey! He stepped in and I'm shutting the pipeline down. All electric cars, no oil ... They're crazy and they don't care about productivity or jobs or anything just their their agenda. What we're doing now by sitting there and shepherding, you know There's still 8080 ships a day coming through shepherding whoever we want to come through. We're kind of Helping all these other countries create this alternative route That's ultimately good for everybody that you know Congress is not gonna stop that Okay take the ships away by then it's already Congress can't if Congress wanted to stop this war

1:18:14 They would just defund the War Department. Dvorak and I went through this, like Congress gets to declare a war you can declare all you want but it's the commander-in-chief who calls the shots that's why they haven't stopped it they can't stop it every president has called the war powers resolute a war powers resolution unconstitutional and it is So what are they gonna do? They're not gonna stop that and you know back to the steel example. What are they gonna Do just kill all the jobs that were just created in in the middle of the country no so yeah, and it's not what the end result so far has been is I think 18 servicemen and women gave their lives in the Iranian thing

CHAPTER 22 / 46 Discussion

Trump's Iran Strategy, Military Casualties and Oil Prices

The hosts discuss Trump's restraint in avoiding a full-scale kinetic war with Iran while successfully strangling their economy. They honor the 18 service members who died in the conflict, contrasting the cost with domestic murder rates in cities like Chicago. The segment also references a conversation between Trump and Joe Rogan regarding assassination threats and the debunked theory of "peak oil."

donald trump· iran· joe rogan· ufc· peak oil· energy security· military heroes

1:19:05 And I looked this up the other day because i was curious in the same time period 190 people have been murdered in Chicago where 18 service members Sadly died over in Iran, but when you kind of look at the cost of everything and what is coming out of it. And if you are going to be able to... I give Trump a little bit of credit for not going in and just bombing them, bombing them, bombing him he's running this a little bit longer than a lot of people would like But the end result is their economy is going to crap. They can't get oil out and once they're bypassed, their biggest card of we have this trade of hormuz kind of goes away. I wish instead of saying you know 18

1:19:51 military men and women lost their lives, I would just like to say these people were heroes for securing our future. Absolutely. They should be revered and they should be remembered for helping them but everyone's been psyoped You know, it's like the right and the left. Oh endless war! War of choice? No this is... Every president has talked about this but no one did it and now that Trump's 80 he doesn't give a crap Yeah you know what Joe Rogan told me when they had the uh They had the The fight out on the White House lawn Right UFC thing UFC thank you

1:20:34 And you know there was this, you know some gang or whatever they're gonna try and assassinate the president and kill people. And Joe said... Trump said I think Joe says aren't you afraid of getting taken out? And Trump said gotta go sometime Joe! Gotta go sometime. I can't be afraid of this stuff." That's your president! Right, which is what you want You gotta have somebody who is able to stand on convictions and not... Have the death threats and understand what may happen if he pisses the wrong people off well, the problem is that the only guy who actually tells you what's going on is Besant and he just talks like a Like a dishrag. You know It just sees it doesn't end Rubio I don't know why Rubio doesn't just someone has to just say this is the plan? I don't know why they're not saying that I'm sure there's reasons for it

1:21:33 Or maybe fewer people understand it at all. But to me, it seems so obvious and you know It's not like we don't have enough oil It's just the global price is set on markets that whenever there's a demand the supply always follows I mean There has always been enough oil. It's just the price of it That's the problem. Oh, yeah we have enough oil what was the last number like for the next 600 years? so it's not like there is a No, we're running out like we were told decades ago Peak oil baby hole uh-huh they said I think was 600 for coal was that all really I don't remember that but but peak oil During the during I think it was 2009 during this show peak oil oh its peak oil. Oh no We're at peak oil There's gonna be no more oil in the ground that went on for years Yes

1:22:25 For years, just like climate change. Still coming out of the ground too! Yeah and so that the hot job market will be for steel workers and demolition guys to take down all the unused AI data centers? Well maybe I mean they can they can be used as factory floors are probably useful for that What about you any near the one that Musk wants to build in Texas? It's gonna be a hundred million square feet. No, no I Really have a really have a hard time a hard time believing that this is actually gonna Gonna take place. I haven't actually had a couple of MS now clips about data centers

CHAPTER 23 / 46 Discussion

Detroit Data Center Opposition, Utility Price Concerns

Residents in Detroit and other parts of Michigan are expressing fear over the construction of large AI data centers, citing concerns about rising utility bills and massive water usage. A "man on the street" interview highlights the anxiety of seniors regarding $200 water bills. Despite local opposition, GE has reportedly sold out its power-generating turbines through 2030 to meet the needs of these facilities.

1:21:33 Or maybe fewer people understand it at all. But to me, it seems so obvious and you know It's not like we don't have enough oil It's just the global price is set on markets that whenever there's a demand the supply always follows I mean There has always been enough oil. It's just the price of it That's the problem. Oh, yeah we have enough oil what was the last number like for the next 600 years? so it's not like there is a No, we're running out like we were told decades ago Peak oil baby hole uh-huh they said I think was 600 for coal was that all really I don't remember that but but peak oil During the during I think it was 2009 during this show peak oil oh its peak oil. Oh no We're at peak oil There's gonna be no more oil in the ground that went on for years Yes

1:22:25 For years, just like climate change. Still coming out of the ground too! Yeah and so that the hot job market will be for steel workers and demolition guys to take down all the unused AI data centers?

It's gonna be a hundred million square feet. No, no I Really have a really have a hard time a hard time believing that this is actually gonna Gonna take place. I haven't actually had a couple of MS now clips about data centers

1:23:07 man on the street stuff, you know which is always good to pick from. Let me see what this is. A new world with Cha-Cha sauce too so three in one sauce You need to be a television host! This is not... This is a guy with a food truck in Detroit That's your job I think sir They're trying to build a lot of data centers in Michigan do you think it's gonna be an issue that's central to the politics here? In the state? I do Why Why? Because people think that their bills are going to go up and it's a lot of... People are scared of them. They are, and I'm afraid of them too. What scares you the most? The water usage and the prices with utilities is frightening for me. I'm in my 70s pretty soon I'll be sitting down doing nothing and I'd like to have money to do it if not I want $200 water bill

1:23:57 And this is, this isn't interesting. Psyop that's taking place about the water bill? I don't think that is true. You know these systems they take on water and then they recycle most of it not all but most of it for sure. I know from dude named Ben name been a dude named Ben named Ben the protector of megawatts that a lot of these data centers are definitely screwing around with the local municipalities by setting up, you know they kind of hide behind their power generators that they're setting up and so they are passing on costs to the local community but I think that's temporary. And there is obviously a lot of money changing hands to get these things built and we have new generation farmers who are looking at

1:24:48 How much work it is to run a farm right and then you can get for the land how much you can get for the land exactly And so people are Being told the most horrendous things. Yeah, I data centers. Yes where they do a lot of AI making me I stuff Water I am worried about it. I'm very concerned about it yeah because I feel like like when you cold press something, do you need water to do it or no? Well I need water to clean my stuff and wash my produce. There's not water in that juice. She's in the food truck too! I'm kind of for them as long they take certain safeguards environmentally and noise pollution all that stuff

1:25:27 The residents who live out by the new ones apparently don't think that's adequate. Yeah, they're not happy about it What's your name? Connie Bank. Connie It's so nice to meet you That is a nice head of cauliflower you got there. Guess how much it costs! This is Detroit honey How much? One buck Stop it I'm telling ya $1 dollar cauliflower Alright So yeah Temporarily but I think this is the gambit here Get all of these, and this these turbine they're using old jet engines anything they can get. All GE is sold out of power generating turbines through 2030 They're sold out so we're gonna have power everywhere

1:26:08 I really don't think they're going to be utilized, at least not with the so-called artificial intelligence that we're seeing today. Because the numbers just don't add up but that power generation is gonna be fantastic! I stand by this and you know... The president said it was kind of genius okay well we don't know if he came up with it but you know to say that these are utilities these will be local utilities And I truly believe that is going to turn out to be true and it probably won't be powering these data centers, but they'll make power very efficient. Maybe we use these as factory floors. We start producing stuff here with nuclear energy. There's eight small medium reactors that are being deployed all around the country now. This is the stuff that was being held back for decades and decades. Oh yeah? So now...

CHAPTER 24 / 46 Discussion

Larry Fink and BlackRock, AI Infrastructure as Asset Class

Larry Fink of BlackRock and Jensen Huang of NVIDIA are spearheading a $500 billion investment initiative to treat AI compute as a new asset class. Critics compare this "financial engineering" to the mortgage-backed securities bubble that led to the 2008 financial crisis. The plan involves raising trillions of dollars from sovereign wealth funds to build out global AI infrastructure.

larry fink· blackrock· nvidia· jensen huang· private credit· mortgage-backed securities· financial engineering

1:27:03 I don't know if you've been following this, but they... This is such a bull crap money sink that they've got BlackRock and KKR and Blackstone and all the big hedge funds. They're all raising half a trillion dollars now to build out data centers with Nvidia leading the charge. Nvidia are only profitable company in this entire mix And it's another form of the circular financing that has been going on, except now they've come up with a new one. Tokens equals commodity so you can invest in tokens and no one knows exactly how they're made what each token is different

1:27:53 What does it really cost to make a token? Doesn't matter. They are setting up not the 99-2000 bubble, they're setting up the 2008 crash is what's going on here. So Jensen Huang calls AI infrastructure a new asset class. Do you agree with that assessment? We have spent so much money already on data centers, on AI Companies involved in the stock market valuations have stored in video itself which of course is a huge supplier of chips to the artificial intelligence industry. As a market cap now more than five trillion dollars,

1:28:41 Unfortunately, Wall Street has a tendency to really get into excess mode and hype mode. And this is an example of that to be honest it harks back to me about what Wall Street did to push mortgage backed securities leading up to the 2008 financial crisis when Wall Street firms literally vertically integrated to be able provide mortgages, write mortgages and then finance mortgages package them up into mortgage-backed securities and sell them off. And keep some of what they couldn't sell on their balance sheet and use that to finance their own cash needs on a daily basis resulted in disaster as we all know so now we've got 500 billion dollars coming out of essentially the private credit market

1:29:34 NVIDIA's construction now of new data centers as if there aren't already enough data centers. It's- Yeah, so here's Larry Fink and the thing about Larry Fink is he runs BlackRock but whose money does BlackRock trade? It's our money, it's our money yeah. He's you know the nine or 11 trillion dollars that he trades is from the United States of America We need to raise this money as fast as possible and put this to work because I think it's really imperative that the United States is the leader in AI in the world. And, we need to be a leader in the disbursement of this technology around people. This is why this is so critical and I applaud what NVIDIA has

1:30:24 Has done bringing all these firms together and saying we have a common goal. We need to raise 500 billion dollars Obviously, that's an unprecedented amount of money But we're gonna have to raise trillions of dollars over the coming years And I do believe this is going to be representing a fantastic investment Yeah in fact I think it's gonna be such a large investment over time you're gonna see more and more allocation in into this asset class. Jim talked about compute as an asset class, but importantly I look at the financing of data centers This is the very beginning, like what it was when I started in the mortgage-backed securities market in the 1970s. And I look upon this as a next future for financial engineering. These guys are amazing! They literally just... Oh yeah, but I was part of that mortgage backed securities. It was great. I started this great business. Fantastic. But the thing is they're building the data centers

Sustainable Energy Financing, Open Source AI Models

Market-driven forces are financing the construction of 14 new nuclear plants in the U.S., with dozens more planned to provide base-load power for the grid. The hosts predict that electricity prices will eventually drop, benefiting Bitcoin miners and developers using efficient, open-source AI models. They argue that smaller, distilled AI models will eventually reduce the massive power requirements currently seen in the industry.

sustainable energy· nuclear plants· bitcoin mining· open source ai· electricity· westinghouse

1:31:19 It's the power that I don't think is being built from our money, BlackRock per se. And BlackRock may not be using our money they're going to raise this money so they'll raise it from sovereign wealth funds and all kinds of other places but here are the numbers on the power. is what drives all of this. The access to energy? Yes, the access to energy and we need to build more faster and there is a financing system for power like it's not new with Jensen doing with compute. Compute will get where power is but physically has to be underwritten like we have 14 nuclear plants that were in various stages of construction today

1:32:04 and it will be another 40 with another 100 coming. Oh, we're going to get them done. And this is the first time in a long time, that market-driven forces can build out the sustainable energy necessary around the world. This is incredible without government funding! We're building these ourselves and they're going to get built all across the United States and remember we bought Westeros out of bankruptcy seven years ago nobody was building a nuclear plant there's a renaissance going on today in the United States, led by Westinghouse that is incredible largely because it's carbon free its base load and it's the next energy thats coming.

1:32:48 And that's what's going to be great about this. And I see you see Brooklyn 112 in the troll room, same Ponzi over and over... The C stands for cynical! No! It is not a Ponzi that's real investment and it's gonna be great i'm gonna be mining Bitcoin for one cent per kilowatt hour. I can't wait. Powers gonna go down? Yes, it's going to drop dramatically. Well especially when people don't understand they're already The people that are working on these AI's that are distilling models on their own, they're taking these open source models and they're able to get nearly the same accuracy. Oh man! With a much smaller model which takes up much less electricity Forget forget the chatbot nonsense which is a complete loss leader for these guys I have a Helix machine GTX whatever it's called 64 gigabyte I'm running

Robot Radio Stations, Christian Contemporary Music Project

A host describes running 15 automated "robot" radio stations from a single home computer using Whisper AI and open-source models. The stations broadcast Christian Contemporary Music (CCM), featuring artists like Brandon Lake and Jellyroll. This setup allows for the creation of voices and promos at a fraction of the cost of commercial AI services like Anthropic.

1:33:42 15 complete robot radio stations. On one machine? On one machine, creating the voices checking the promos with whisper you know everything's going back and forth which would cost $3,000 if he had to buy it from Anthropic or even if you use you know one of these Outfits like together.ai where you rent by the minute And I'm running that at home on a relatively inexpensive machine. And what is the format of these radio stations? Christian contemporary music, baby! Interesting... Oh yeah oh you should-oh man You should listen to it What's the CCM that's going on today It's like rock and roll I mean it's good stuff You got Brandon Lake jellyroll There's some country in there It's good and

1:34:43 The message makes you feel good. Of course! With Jesus Amen It's working quick Larry Frank question I want to know how he's getting along with the decline in DEI wasn't he like that leading that charge? Oh, yeah. No you had to shut that down You know it was it was thinking those guys who set up the whole scale The hole, you know do you're not investible unless you what was the name of that? What was I remember that I talked about on Rogan? How is that called

1:35:21 Hold on a second. What was... You know what I should, uh... Oh! What am i even thinking? Where's the book of knowledge? The book of knowledge is telling me- What was the DEI scale that Blackrock and Larry Fink put into place that companies had to adhere to? Let's see what the Book Of Knowledge says. I need to give you the Book Of Knowledge, Jaron Here it comes. Will he get it? I don't know... It's a little dusty, haven't used them in awhile. I'm not so sure he is gonna... Needs more electricity! I need nuclear power plant right at the backyard but you can do that in Texas According to the book of knowledge The instrument wielded by Larry Fink was not a DEI specific scale of his own making

Mark Zuckerberg's AI Manifesto, Open Source Strategy

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a 14-page manifesto outlining an optimistic vision for AI and a return to open-source development. The document addresses environmental concerns, job creation, and pushes back against government-imposed "guardrails" that could create a competitive moat for larger firms. The hosts discuss how AI is becoming a tool for non-coders to build functional business applications.

1:36:12 But rather the broader ESG scoring system, a 0-10 scale mapped to MSCI ESG letter ratings running from AAA for leaders down to CCC for laggards. Through which BlackRock as a shareholder used its enormous leverage to... There you go! There ya'go! The ESG score that's what it was. That was it? Yeah But the push for electricity is interesting, especially when they started throwing EVs at everybody while the power grids were basically failing. So here's your answer? Yeah yeah even Zuckerberg he sees it coming you've he wrote a manifesto like a mass shooter He wrote a manifesto Well anybody who is able to code and do it right from their own home

1:37:01 It's the release of Muse Glimmer. It is accompanied by a 14-page essay from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg where he lays out his vision for the future of AI and he is saying it to push, democratize technology. Live now to Chief Technology Correspondent for Axios, Ina Fried. So Ina? It's a manifesto. Makes it seem like a huge deal, manifesto what is in it? Well, he's trying to address a few different things here. He's trying to counter the doomerism first and foremost. He's trying to paint an optimistic vision for what AI is going to bring so The first thing he really tries to do is contrast himself with the people that are saying this is something you need to worry about And so he goes point by point around the environmental concerns working with communities where there's data centers He talks about cyber security and how I can be a good thing

1:38:02 He talks about jobs and how it's going to create new entrepreneurial opportunities, even as it does perhaps get rid of some of the traditional jobs that we're used to. So that's one big point. The other is to say look, we're back in the game. Meta has been behind an AI they spent a fortune to bring in Alexander Wang he's been leading an effort for around a year-ish now to kind of rebuild from the ground up And they're saying look, We have something worth checking out and they're returning to open source. And then the last thing he wanted to do was push back a little bit on the government.

1:38:37 Because you know all these companies like oh we need government. We need labels on the on the gay eye Well, they're begging for guardrails and somebody else can make those hard decisions Yes a moat as we call it in the business a moment. We need it need a moat So I think is great. You know anyone who's messed around with some? I'm not a coder But I've built all kinds of fun stuff that is useful, that I'm selling to actual customers. And that's what AI is good for. For things that have come before it is not good for things that haven't already existed? If you're building something with packages with code that have already been tested out makes perfect sense if you really go out of the box It's harder for these things too Look at what I built for you! That's amazing

1:39:27 I mean, it took me 20 minutes. I'm like hey... I got this soundboard and I have my clip set up and I want Darren to be able to access it on the web. Boom! And you know what? It works yeah But people have done this before. People have created sound boards, not exactly in the same way they've played put together play out systems so anything that's been done that it can access that code I'm going to the best example is having a username and password login is used on every site. The codes already out there. The AI can implement that code into your project and it really just like making every little piece of code a puzzle piece

AI Business Automation, "We Get To Do This" Podcast

A host explains how he used AI to automate the back-office operations for his podcast "We Get To Do This." By using "robot" assistants to integrate Stripe and PayPal APIs, he created a system to manage donations and spreadsheets without manual entry. This automation is presented as a way to streamline small businesses and reduce administrative friction.

stripe· paypal· automation· api tokens· newsletters· value for value· podcasting

1:40:11 Well, I think that what's nice about it is you can streamline your business. Oh yeah! So an example so...I've been doing this show with Pastor Jimmy called We Get To Do This and we're doing this for 45 episodes in And seeing as my situation is changing and I'm being pushed out by two other guys who are taking over the show. Yeah, you know, I would take your role but Larry's older so we can't use that. It's like I got to do value for value! And then I said to Tina okay you're back office she's like what? Work?! No she doesn't mind work but she's good at writing newsletters and doing that stuff But when you have to pull in

1:40:55 Stripe and PayPal and donations. And so I just sat down and went, okay we're a little business here Robot, I call all of my AIs robot. Robot make me a system that pulls in the donations makes it into a nice spreadsheet orders it this way put the notes into it and you know the robot said okay I need some API tokens okay how do I do that click here click there okay both click copy paste and then it says do you have a website?

1:41:32 No, but you can put it on the I got a computer Okay. I'll put it on this computer and it just built it and then I just type in donations all uppercase And it brings it in and it's done and that and that saves a marriage With these new enterprises will you be doing any cookie stuffing like Phoebe Gates? Oh Oh man, I hope so. Yeah! Don't do that at home. I love the cookie stuff. Isn't that great? Here's an affiliate program and i'm gonna steal your money. It's awesome you gotta explain what's going on with that.

History of Dial-Up Modems, Baud Rates and Tech Wars

The hosts reminisce about the evolution of modem speeds, from 300 baud acoustic couplers to 56k V.90 technology. They discuss the "modem wars" between vendors like Hayes and US Robotics and the distinct sounds associated with different connection speeds. One host recalls using a TRS-100 laptop with an acoustic coupler to file news stories from the field.

dial-up· modems· baud rate· us robotics· hayes compatible· trs-100· acoustic coupler

1:43:05 Okay, to round out this tech segment both of you are old enough to remember dial-up modems. Certainly! Larry what was the speed of the first modem you ever used do you remember? Oh my god I'm gonna say it was, i think it was something in the teens. Was it like 16? Was a B-A-U-D did that mean something? No uh you're in the baud's okay bauds don't count You were on bulletin boards trading porn no I'm talking about to connect to the internet To connect to the internet I don't remember Do you think 1200 baud Sounds sounds right maybe maybe well listen and tell me if this sounds familiar to you, okay? That was 1200 baud per second now did you I'm sure you had a 2400 bod. This is that what that sounded like

1:44:08 Oh yeah, that's more like it with the little boop in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that Ben Rose is triggered. That's not hard to do! Alright so these things eventually... So that was 24 then we went...I think we might have had 48 then we had 96 then 14.4 28.8 33.6 Then we had 56k V dot 9 0 If anybody remembers this, but here's what I want to test. Tell me the speed of the following modem Are you ready? Sure Is that like a 20 or an 8?

1:45:05 All right, what was the speed of that modem not 28 8 was that faster 28 a you nailed it 20 lyrics to that I Started with the 300 bought acoustic coupler. That sounded like this here you go It's very slow very slow But it was great because you actually had to put the phone handset in and you could hear it. Into the cradle, I still have my TRS 100 which is a laptop sized device that had an eight line LCD display and journalists had this. You could write documents and you could run some basic programs and it had an acoustic coupler

1:46:01 And which I also have and then later it had a built-in modem, and i think that was 300 baud. And you could dial into the newsroom That was way better because with the acoustic couplers You couldn't even play your music loud! I mean... It would screw everything up! Alright here's the one that we probably all remember this is the 56k Yeah! Connect, connect, connect. Ah good times. I wonder what game is really in there? I'm pretty surprised you got the 28-8 Darren that was pretty good. Hey when even using them as long and those they all have a distinct little sound to them and they were wars gosh i wish john was here there were wars with different modem vendors like no no no he got we have the v haze had their hazed compatible

1:47:02 System and US robotics they came out with the V dot 9 2 I think right where they were throwing like compression in to try to know yeah, sir. Oh Yeah, how did you upgrade your modems? Well they stopped every time Wow, I think I think that went didn't we at one point have a hundred and twelve but it was kind of unreliable Yeah, I never went today. I went from 56 and then had AT&T at home came in with one megabit down or 1.5 megabits man wait when was that? That had to be what 2000 Okay, I'm talking 90s in the 90s. I had a 56k frame relay dedicated line Which was cool because you didn't have to dial up it was just on all the time and there was no No charge

Molson Ice Polar Beach Party, Arctic Live Stream Story

A host shares a story about building a "Roadbox" with 30 multiplexed modems to live stream a Metallica concert from the Arctic Circle for the Molson Ice Polar Beach Party. The event took place in the dry village of Tuktoyaktuk and featured bands like Veruca Salt and Hole. The segment concludes with a discussion on the current state of rural broadband and the transition to Starlink and fiber optics.

molson ice· metallica· courtney love· arctic circle· starlink· fiber optic· rural broadband

1:47:59 ISPs at the time got very angry if you stayed out all day and all night. And then a certain point with my company on ramp, we had Molson Ice as a client And they had the Molson Ice Polar Beach Party. Remember, they had polar ice? Molson, Molson ice, polar ice... and so we built the website which we easily charged $50,000 a month for it was such a good time now you just chat GPT make our website

1:48:36 And we had to do the prize for these winners was a concert at the North Pole with Metallica, Veruca Salt and Hole with Courtney Love. Three bands! And it took to Yuktuk so the Northwestern territories you know like a mile inside the Arctic Circle And we had sold, we said, We'll live stream it. Okay? Good luck with that! Well of course the technology at the time was see you see me and uh... and we did have PCM streaming audio so you could at least get some streaming audio but how were we going to get the connectivity up there right I mean we built this thing called The Roadbox and The Roadbox was a flight case it had

1:49:27 I think 30 modems in it. So as long as we could get, and it mucks them and then at our office we had a demux so we had you know 30 modems on the other end. And so if would take these these 30 modems...and were able to get phone lines because there was oil drilling station up there. We got the phone lines plugged all in And then, you know that combined created I don't know. Created enough like probably half a megabit or so in order to stream the CUCME and the audio back to home base and it worked! It worked That's crazy 30 modems, 30 phone lines

1:50:08 And it somehow worked? And Lars was a real wussy boy. He was complaining the whole trip, always complaining, complaining, complaining... Courtney Love was crazy! She didn't care she's like I'm gonna jump into the Arctic by water here that is great! Calm down Courtney calm down. Yeah good times It was a little chilly Yeah, well you gotta dip your toe into the North Pole water of course. It did that and it was daylight 23 hours of the day and we're up there in this... There's no alcohol. It was complete dry village Tuktoyaktuk. Oh no! And so it's like 11 at night and yeah, we're all out of our minds jet lagged and we were like, we've got to get some alcohol

1:50:58 And, uh... see these kids are riding their bikes around 11 at night. It's broad daylight. Hey kid! Let me ask you something? Oh! You want alcohol? That guy over there. Go visit him over there. Man I'd forgotten that story. Well that's why you're writing a book Any evidence of UFOs or the thing up there in the Arctic Circle? Nah, nothing like that. Nothing like that. Nothing like that. And now thanks to Elon you just can get satellite connectivity and broadcast it's true yeah I've actually just turned my you know, we're tightening the belt here in the Hill Country. It's like do I really need this $150 a month backup satellite thing? The Starlink you can put it on sleep mode for 10 bucks a month so... That's not bad. We're supposed to be getting they ran the cables finally getting fiber in October So I'm counting down the days Yeah now we got five gigabit fiber here is fantastic

Frank Kendall, Air Force Security Clearance Lawsuit

Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall is suing the government after his security clearance was revoked following critical comments about a Qatari-gifted Air Force One. Kendall, who is currently promoting his book *Lethal Autonomy*, argues the revocation impacts his ability to serve on defense advisory boards. The hosts note that a 1988 Supreme Court ruling gives the executive branch broad discretion over classified access.

frank kendall· air force· security clearance· lethal autonomy· supreme court· defense contractors

1:51:58 It's part of the rural broadband. So we're technically rural, and so all of your government money that is supposed to go to poor people in the middle of America is going to billionaires in Fredericksburg! Five gig up and down... Oh yeah it's disgusting. But at least you have broadband that's all that matters they can put on the map I'm running a server farm here, baby. Another big scam all of the rural broadband that's again follow the money if there is any All right what else you got? What do we got...I got let's see I have one from this is always kind of fun There's a US Air Force former secretary now suing the government Do you hear about this guy No Yeah his name is Frank Kenry

1:52:55 And his security clearance was pulled about eight months ago. He's upset about that, and he's suing the government because he's entitled to that I guess. It comes as former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall is speaking out for the first time here on Outfront after the Trump administration revoked his security clearance over his comments to media outlets about Trump's new Qatari gifted Air Force One. And Frank Kendall is now Outfront, a former air force secretary and now author of Lethal Autonomy The Future Of Warfare Whether We Like it Or Not And Secretary Kendall, I greatly appreciate your time and i do want to get your reaction to this Washington Post reporting because it's literally just crossing moments before you came on the air. First though, I just have to ask you, you know, your reaction when you first see the post from the Pentagon that states that you former Air Force secretary uh have lost your classified information- your classified status? It's been revoked effective immediately

1:53:56 What did you think and did you find out from that post? Well, Erin it certainly made my weekend more interesting. I found out about it when my wife and I were in a cooking class. I'd given her for couples cooking class, I had given her as a gift for her birthday so our phones were off. Hill, okay. So the guy's flogging a book. Let's remember that number one he's flogging a book and it's probably the worst book ever written because he's bloviating but nobody cares about what ... He was at a cooking class when the call came in saying your clearance has been pulled you know and The guy goes on and on to complain about this And so he's kind of in the O'Reilly League for bloviating I think

1:54:37 And so that's what he's mad about. But here's what bugged me when I saw this, is that you know? I was with a couple of Fortune 500 companies and when the ride was over it was give us your credit card if your expense account is canceled, your email has been deleted and thank you very much and maybe we'll see your pension in 20 years! You know that was it but these government guys I guess they consider you know it just keeps rolling on And, apparently having that security clearance entitles him to all kinds of government consulting and advisory boards and roles with defense contractors. He can just pass the blather and collect some nice checks for being alleged wired in expert.

1:55:19 We have wrong business. Yeah, exactly So then I checked about he said he's going to sue them right so I saw a legal thing It said the Supreme Court held in Department of the Navy versus Egan in 1988 that quote No one has a right to a security clearance and that decisions about access to classified information are committed To the executive branches broad discretion So there now do you normally keep security clearances once you are? Retired currently a lot of these guys doing if you recall I think Hillary was ticked off when Trump pulled hers after yeah Yeah, but she didn't speak about suing anyone. This is new with this guy But that but that's part That's part of the part of the gig is you keep your security clearance so you're on all the cool email lists and use that in your Consulting yeah, it's great

No Agenda Guest Hosting, Sunday Show Preparations

The hosts discuss upcoming guest slots for the No Agenda Show, including Steve Jones (the "Clip Collector") and potentially Jennifer from the animated No Agenda films. They aim to introduce different voices and perspectives to the show's evolving format. There is a brief exchange about the "low testosterone" vibe of mainstream media compared to independent podcasting.

steve jones· clip collector· jennifer· testosterone· mainstream media· podcast format

1:56:12 Yeah, then you can go on Fox News and MSNOW and spew things and everybody gets a little piece. Are you guys gonna bring someone in on Sunday? We had Steve Jones just volunteered today which... Steve is great! He said he bought the whole Podfather, Motun, Areen 320. So he said he's all set I have no idea how he sounds i've never spoken to him he's been helping me for man...I want to say at least three years maybe four years with Clips. He's the guy that got John's 3x3

1:56:50 Oh, really? Yeah. He would always do the three by threes for John and he would pull these Sunday morning things for me you know this early Sunday morning shows Steve is good well of course he might sound like Mickey Mouse I don't know We need some loop processing and it'll be fine! I encourage you guys to work with some of these Noah Jen The Nation people This is... we're creating a kind of new format with this show And I'm liking what I'm hearing I said I'd bring his own clips I like yeah, that's right. That helps Yeah he might have enough clips for everybody for the show really but he says a bit I'm like he's pretty good at it He's pretty good at it and get some women in there where the women hey? I put a word out I don't know she got the message yet, but dang Jennifer was the first one Larry and I thought of four sitting in

1:57:38 You know, from animated no agenda film and absolutely adding a different voice that you know has less testosterone might be yes. She definitely prefer way to go. A low voice doesn't mean you have high testosterone. And you both sound pretty low T to me. Yeah maybe it was very tired and probably all the mainstream media Yeah, it's those modems you're fooling around with. It'll get to you though right? You watching this stuff all day long it tires you out! It's amazing because you can't believe it is repeating itself over and over and over I've got one more here this is a Julian Epstein no relation I'm assuming

CHAPTER 34 / 46 Discussion

Julian Epstein, Democratic Party Infighting and Bigotry

Julian Epstein, a former attorney for Bill and Hillary Clinton, criticizes mainstream media for failing to cover extremism and bigotry within the Democratic Party. He argues that critical race theory is being used to divide the country by race and that the party has embraced radical sectarian beliefs. The hosts discuss this as a "fracture" within the party that is being ignored by outlets like MSNBC and CNN.

julian epstein· bill clinton· hillary clinton· critical race theory· islamic extremism· bigotry

1:58:20 He is a Clinton attorney. He was the one that When Bill was going through his little problem with Monica Lewinsky, I think he was one of the attorneys He was the attorney when Hillary ran for president and his view Of the current media situation. I thought it was interesting You rely for MSN on MSNBC 4 news? I think you're basically illiterate and uninformed about what's going on. I think It's somewhat, it's less true for CNN but also true. I'm Julian Epstein. I am a long time Democrat. I was formerly the Chief Counsel of the House Judiciary Committee and the Staff Director of the House Oversight Committee for the Democrats. Um...I'm the former CEO of the consulting firm LMG which represented amongst other people Hillary Clinton for President

1:59:08 and a number of other Democrats. Mainstream media is sort of covering the Democratic infighting, I know! Stand the quiet parts out loud. What? Civil War, what? Democrats know they're all... Just Larry particularly just love your neighbor Love your enemies You know what when you show them love it's like pouring hot coals on their head It is-I've tried this it's really fun

1:59:45 Just love them. I you know my route is this out of my I Pull a ball cap low on my head like some movie star I put mirrored sunglasses but the buds in my ears and then I said moose on bark at anything And I walked down the street, and no one ever speaks to me, and then I'm good with that Why are you in Connecticut? That's a great question Not a great Yeah, yeah well you know what happened I as you know Los Angeles just went to hell and I wanted to leave and then suddenly found both my daughters were on the East Coast And my wife was kind of fond of this area. She used to come up here in the summertime as a kid Okay, are you near our monk at all? Oh

2:00:36 Well, I'm probably a hundred miles from that. That's IBM. Okay? That's no that oh you got a beach house It's Larry in the Beach House nice Basement cuz he was afraid he was gonna have people cutting the lawn again. Oh there's always somebody cutting along all That's a suburbia, baby. Yeah, but that's what I do so you know that way enough to to interface with Okay, okay? Well your car you're perfect for podcasting is a perfect guy exactly right now I think the news media is missing that but I think more importantly they're missing the nature of the extremism that Is happening with

2:01:16 the left and they're missing the bigotry that is emerging on the less seen critical race is basically a permission slip for more bigotry. It's to divide tell people most important thing about them as race and then to start building public policy around that, but that's what critical races And now that they have embraced Islamic extremism They have gone one step further into a sectarian set of beliefs. And I don't think the news media is covering that and they should be covering that.

2:01:59 Well, but this is the ploy. We love pitting sides against each other in America and that's what we do and so that's exactly where the political Islam is... That's the one! Everyone's only looking at that issue not looking at anything else Right it's the whole distraction thing It is Yeah, everybody just said this is going back to the weather underground manifesto. Everybody it's a black against white as people against the cops is the rich against the poor as long as you are creating division You can get away with a lot more and it's interesting when you're seeing Democrats that are coming out with this It shows there is at least some kind of a fracture going on how big is it? I don't know

California High Speed Rail, Financial Crisis and Delays

The California High Speed Rail project faces a potential total loss of funding by December 2027, according to the state's Inspector General. The project is currently billions of dollars over budget and has only produced limited concrete structures in the Central Valley. The hosts contrast this failure with Japan's high-speed rail system, which was completed in the late 1950s.

high speed rail· california· bakersfield· eminent domain· inspector general· japan

2:02:48 The distraction of the week, a nose and a look over there. Look at the Muslims! Let's take it over! Squirrel! Oh we're doing a jingle off are we? Okay. Nothing to see here. Ooh lookit! That's fully into us. I got them all man. I got them all. I got em' all at the ready. Can't wait. There's...I wanted to play this clip real quick cause its short Because we were talking about this on the show in, it must have been 2009 I'm gonna say maybe was 2008. Dvorak at the time said it's never going to happen and its never going to go anywhere. I got kicked out of my house under eminent domain for this thing

2:03:38 And of course, I'm referring to the high speed rail. The inspector general for California High Speed Rail says the project could run out of money as soon as December 2027 is part of the updated review of the project's revised 2026 business plan. The inspector general says that plans still has major gaps in information and violates California state law The lack of cash means the project could face a financial crisis unless lawmakers and the governor address it by the end of the legislative session. The session closes at the end of this month." It's like 15 years, and the thing goes to Bakersfield or something like that? It goes nowhere. Goes nowhere...and I think there are already some insane amount 80-90 billion in the hole on it and there has been a little bit

2:04:21 Concrete superstructure built out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mud. And I checked on this ... The first high-speed rail was built in Japan begun in 1956? I think it was completed in like 1958 or 59. How about that? It's still running." Oh yeah, allegedly. That's a five-hour drive and it's a rite of passage. It is. It should never be done by train you got to drive it in your rented convertible right that's what you do or your Tesla that'll just drive you I talked to the back office and Sir Paul Couture

2:05:09 who we know from noagendaartgenerator.com has created a special memorial challenge coin of JCD and I can't wait for everybody to see these it is just an unbelievably beautiful coin, i want him to get them numbered so you know so you can get a number and uh we'll figure out how we're going to do that I think we're gonna do for people who complete their knighthood, so if you're close you'll like this. An Order of the Ant pin. That's cool. I like that. You know what? You can put in a little micro-piazzo speaker or whatever they call it that plays the...

Hasan Piker, Socialist Influencer Wealth Critique

Hasan Piker, a popular socialist influencer and nephew of Cenk Uygur, is criticized for his multi-million dollar lifestyle in West Hollywood. Despite advocating for socialism, Piker reportedly has a net worth between $20 million and $35 million and earns over $4 million annually. The hosts highlight the irony of his defense of "capital accumulation" as long as it doesn't involve private jets.

hasan piker· socialism· west hollywood· young turks· capital accumulation· influencer

2:06:10 So you guys want to do donations? Is it that time I haven't kept track of the time. Do you have anything else Larry if you want a quickie from our buddy Hassan Piker Oh yeah well why not with good Kami explain this guy to me what's up with this Hassan Piker guy um i've you know i'm trying to figure that out myself Adam because he's really but he reminds me remember this was a character named Destiny, He is kind of a lefty very lefty uh guy And this is like a larger version of him, but he's become way more popular. I don't understand why because he's completely negative He's got a very snotty sort of attitude all the time and like all commies... ...He is a fake commie as this clip will demonstrate At what point does your very expensive home stop being a basic human necessity? As something that essentially reinforces the very system that you're critiquing

2:07:06 I don't think the purchases that you make necessarily...I mean, if you're buying a private jet it's a little different but I don't think the purchases that you make... Stop. So you hear that? You can buy anything except a private jet. That's going too far. You could buy the million dollar house, or five million dollar house. Yes, yes, you could buy Zuckerberg's yacht but what he is talking about here is this guy He has a 22 and 2 point 7 million dollar house in West Hollywood like 5 bedrooms bath swimming pool Where does he get that from doing what Exactly his podcast Well he's an influencer obviously right He's an influencer Oh man! A podcaster Yeah I gotta get me an Instagram account This is no good

2:07:44 It's crazy. If you go commie, the money is there for some reason I don't understand. Exactly yeah and he should be giving it all away shouldn't he? Absolutely not using it to engage in capital accumulation imply something less ethical than whatever purchase they're making in general. The reason why it's so expensive is because it's in West Hollywood It'd be even more expensive if it was in Beverly Hills, which is adjacent to that. You don't have to live there? Oh you gotta love that. That's funny. Good for him. West Hollywood is the equivalent of the Castro in San Francisco. Lisa used to be very very gay

2:08:34 socialism but at the same time is buying multi-million dollar homes and his exact words are it's okay if i do it as long as you don't do capital accumulation well capital accumulation means that you have a very large net worth let's just see how much he's worth. If we look at his net worth, we're looking at around an estimate of 20 to 35 million dollars To me, that seems like you're accumulating a pretty large amount of capital. If we look at his income he's making $2.8 million in just a couple years from things like subscriptions and donations and if we look at how much does he actually make per year according to sources it looks like the average is in the four plus million dollar range in recent years so that seems to me like he is benefiting pretty well on the capitalist system yet he's pushing socialism

2:09:25 Yeah. Oh, he's... Outlaw Thanksgiving and outlaw boomers That's him too He's uh, he's Chunk's nephew Is he? Yes. Ugar. Ah! He was at the Young Turks. Correct And by the way The name Piker is also a word and it means penny ante gambler Nice Very nice I think that wraps it up Yeah, you got to go commie man. Well we should go commie but I will start us off with our donation segment here because this is and remains a Value for Value podcast so you gotta support the work if you want it to continue Larry and Darren also value for value on the show now which i really appreciate

Was that Sunday because I dropped off after we were done Yes, it was just a quick little bit Yeah play it It is very Chris Wilson This is your amygdala Shut up! This is the mainstream media We are concerned about a troubled country and responsible one-sided news stories plaguing our country This is your amygdala without no agenda Any questions No questions Oh man. Well, Time Talent and Treasure is how you support the show your time and your talent You can tell somebody about the podcast Tell someone about the show You can send them boots on the ground report That's how I got my information about the power And the GE turbines We get these from our producers who are right in the field Who know exactly what's going on You can do other things like create artwork for the show

2:11:18 Which I'm not been involved in the selection for the past two shows and, I have to say. I thought the last one that you guys chose for episode 1893 titled On Bonk which the constitutional lawyer sent us a mini war and peace. Yes! Maybe it was the formatting of the email, but my eyes started to glaze over. Did you guys get what he was saying? I kind of and then he had a PDF's of what it was... But again just in case of a literal swinging dick story which is interesting. I think they saw that email. Would expect nothing short from that from the constitutional lawyer. You know, you gotta look at his Instagram

2:12:05 He's a boots and suits cuz he's he's you know, it's like you got the you got the big guys Who just want to settle quick? You got us. He's got his cowboy hat on he's got his boots And we'll go for the top money have you been hurt on the job call us boots and suits Yeah So scaremonger did this one yes I've kind of missed the conversation about the guy who wants to be in the W NBA What's his name? There were several and as for a guy Then there was that was a couple of them at least and then they it seemed like there may have been more And it was basically trying to make the WNBA make a rule that says dudes can't play but of course their

2:12:52 Not no, I think this is great. This is almost like that's like the shop teacher who was wearing the huge fake boobs Yeah, it was insistent that both Darren and Adam apply as well imagine how famous you'd both be Both six foot five you're tall enough right so just demand that come on yes Yes, okay. Thanks. We started a podcast or basketball league Yeah, I have to move the San Antonio play for the Spurs. But the Saks! Right there go for the joke that's what we learned from The Art. It was good you and JCD always go for the joke and that sold it the team name being The Saks And in a fun way it was John's favorite kind of art yeah the little cheesecake

2:13:43 Cheesecake. Maybe a little different cheesecake. I would say he's rolling over, he would probably say this is grotesque we can't use this. He might not be wrong. Scaramanga good job man do you guys review the other art? We both really like the capitalist agenda honoring JCD but it was too small for album art but we both agreed it would be nice as a print with the diner setting, the classic blanking on the artist's name that did it. Looking into the diner at night

2:14:20 It was Edwin Hopper style, that classic. You know it's usually Bogart and Marilyn Monroe and you know it's been reconfigured a thousand ways. Oh I see it oh yeah yeah Yeah too small too small too small I like the Etch-A-Sketch a lot but not... The Etch-a-Sketch is great! I think Jay used it in the newsletter She did? And I think it's a cool image Yeah it's the official no agenda phone Also capital Agenda so he's doing good work And you know what? Once JCD was gone, the real artists came back. Coincidence?! They did not! They didn't like to be... berated. Something up with that. Hey I'm telling you some of the days JCD really ripped into me were the days he was like hey can you make me some art

Amen Thank You Randy that is very very kind of you Wow And that helps it does we've been doing a lot of praying for JCD a lot of praying for the family praying for other families as well like Horowitz, you know It's been it's been a big loss for Horowitz Their show was going on almost as long as no agenda now and And I know because Horowitz is calling a couple times a week, Brunetti's calling couple times a week. They had real relationships with John that went beyond my...I'd probably talk to John longer on a weekly basis but they talked to him often. Yeah it's a different dynamic and for Horowitz JCD is not replaceable somebody said oh it took at least two guys to replace JCD and yeah it probably could be three or four or more

2:16:50 That's the thing. My grieving is not just for John, the show. We had a performance together like Laurel and Hardy, Lucy and Ricky Fred and we're more like fretting after all right I mean there were people again nothing was better than JCD being silent for way too long and then moving on Okay, well yeah at the end there he'll go maybe why does maybe What is may be you can't give me a maybe. There's no maybes in podcast discussions? I love those broad pauses followed by okay Yeah

2:17:33 If you want to if you only just cut somebody down do that it shows deep contemplation.

Don't sweat it because the examiner knows that your pilot's license is really just a license to learn. Don't think you have to be perfect,

2:25:33 When I did my, I had got my helicopter first and when i did my fixed wing. I bounced all the way in...I mean it was a mess And its okay because the examiner knows you know your not going to be flying alone anytime soon on your own airplane Because someone has to sign off on you even flying in a rented aircraft so Its a license to learn You'll Be Fine Don't Sweat It They need pilots. So that's the thing to do they do they do mm-hmm Keith R Johnson coming in with $100 from Arlington, New York says Darren and Larry Thanks for filling in and giving Adam a break you guys did great happy anniversary Mimi our thoughts are with you and your family Thank You Ivan Silva of Norwalk California $100 No note Thank You Ivan

Oh, there's a lot of that I got one this one lady she's like they're no good first of all just they're no good she's not wrong and uh and of course i should do the show with Mimi it always starts with that

2:34:03 I don't know about that Larry guy. He seems very dark. I don't think he's good you should probably stay away from him She's right on all counts very dark there's something very dark about that Larry guy Yeah, I enjoy you guys. I enjoy listening to you I mean I may not be on the show the whole time but I enjoy listening to you well that is appreciated It's cathartic for me. There was one makeup jingle as well from Night of Sandy Ridge, I guess it was from 1889? Wow! Now there is a callback. People are sending you hats now in case you hadn't received them yet

2:34:49 Oh man, that was a great... and John got irked by it at the end. He was mad. Stop it with the past Blue Ribbon! Well then stop opening your soda can on the air Right I mean you can do it away from the microphone It was a good bit though theater of the mind. It's a good bit You know we just want to just little callback. Mm-hmm. I really love what Who did the opening? The opener Jess No, no not Jess. Just Baker. Parker? Just Baker! I was getting around to it! Jess Booger! Just Baker excellent but it's not really a jingle you need the opening music in there people should be sending it did you get the stuff from Sir Brian with an eye

2:35:38 No, I forwarded it to you. I thought I sent it to you no we should this should be a contest then they'll create the opening that were very AI ish maybe that was yes he said yeah that was the problem they were very AI-ish I mean and just Baker does that he knows what he's doing with AI that guy knows what he's doing Yeah, that was good. I like the sound of it we just needed a little more extended so we can do the proper intro but if other people... Like you said were not married to this quite as yet so throw your hat in and add that to your IMDB page created the theme for The No Agenda Show

Adam Curry's Eye Health, Retinal Detachment Story

Adam Curry shares the detailed history of his vision loss in one eye due to a retinal detachment ten years ago. He describes a series of unsuccessful surgeries and the incompetence of a surgeon who failed to provide a timely referral. The recovery involved spending 12 weeks face-down, a period he previously documented for No Agenda listeners.

retinal detachment· eye surgery· laser surgery· eyepatch· medical incompetence· face down

2:37:02 Right who's gonna do meetups? Well we have two meetup reports the first one of course wait You don't have the jingle you know at the meet-up jingle. Oh right here Come on man Stay on the ball come on there it is like a party indeed it is like a party I gotta get a touchscreen, which would make it easier too than having the mouse go over it. You need a second eye! That would help. Yes that would also help very much they keep telling me they're close with being you know the stem cells or something else being able to regrow retinal tissue which is what I need Do you mind if I ask about this? Can I ask you a few questions? Sure

2:37:49 What did you have eyesight in both eyes previously this degenerate over time or is this a we were born with this? No, it was a retinal detachment that happened about ten years ago and The first surgeon could not get it to stay up, so it went through multiple surgeries. And by the time I got the surgeon that was able to have the retina stay up, it is so scarred there's really no vision just... Yeah, it sucks! Especially considering I was sitting in the first guy's office and he was like well we don't have your referral yet because it was still just a tear at that point

2:38:29 Without being a full detachment, which probably could have been fixed with laser. But he's like well no we need the referral so come back tomorrow but didn't really have until tomorrow Oh, so you've been living off the money of a loss? You know you should call Rob the constitutional lawyer. I think he can get some money out of this deal Maybe no good maybe yeah, you know again like you're a victim of incompetence down Yes, I agree I think there's a lawsuit here kind of because when they went to do the surgery the surgeon that I finally got that I trust He had to request a special tool You know basically they're sticking these things in your eye

2:39:09 Get to the back of the retina. He's like because your eye is so big he needed a special large tool I'm like well, I never heard this from the other guy could he keep his large tool up by the other guy couldn't Exactly what it is That way you keep the eyes that are you know functioning? It's a much preferred way to go yeah One eyelash Okay But but is it all gunky and and weird looking a little it's getting there because they're cool There was oil in there, which is what kept the retina up. And since there was no vision he's like well we could take the oil out but that's another surgery it's not gonna hurt you and after a certain amount of years it started scarring the cornea so there

2:39:56 Tell me you wear an eyepatch. No, I really should yeah high patches cool man your six five iPad You know you'll scare little children. I'm just saying if it were me. I'd be wearing a knife but you know I have a friend and She lost her eye many years ago And and she can she just pops it out in fact she went back to her Her college reunion and they were doing like, you know running around, you know the old sorority sisters like running around with beer across an obstacle course or something. And she tripped

2:40:33 and fell, and her eye popped out. I mean awesome! Just awesome Nobody's gonna forget that No no eyepatch eyepatch is what I'm saying And talk like a pirate down there Arrrgh By where the eyepatch everybody will know when they do a meetup who the guy with the eyepatch is Yeah Nice. But really, I remember the greatest thing about that whole thing was sending in the no agenda note afterwards and Dvorak reading it and you could tell he was uncomfortable with the hole sticking needles in the eye And I was facedown for like 12 weeks. Oh, that's right! I remember that yeah oh man yes and that was the worst part because if they would have just said no your eyes screwed up i mean i could have saved 12 weeks still don't have vision you may as well just let it go but it was like twelve weeks of being face down for really no payoff at the end which kind of sucked

2:43:29 Thank you. Yeah, my name's Ken and I discovered the No Agenda show through Joe Rogan actually right after or right during the pandemic and John was a somebody that...I just enjoyed his voice hearing it and he was always to me a voice of reason. I also had a lot of affection for him because he is from California and I'm from California originally And uh..you know i am going to miss him alot And I hope he took that last Amtrak Zephyr train to the next world. So God bless him and may he rest in peace! Alright, you got it

2:44:10 Paul Barron and I have been listening to Andrew and John for gosh many years. Actually, John and I go way back even pre- actually when i found that John was doing a podcast with Andrew didn't know Andrew but I knew John from the old days of Silicon Valley and of course a lot his work with PC Magazine and had followed him around and of course Found andrew in then realize he lived in my home town that was how we all can i got together so thats gonna be my. My history i guess it's probably been about ten years i know the dh unplugged podcast is one of the oldest ones out there so its been a while since they got going gosh i think,

2:44:54 Even the first time I had listened to John it was when he was with Leo Laporte over on Twit And that was probably 15 years ago, so it's been quite a while listening to him on DH Unplugged. I'm Chris Marble. I've listened to No Agenda since 2020 and to DH Unplugged for about five and a half years. What are you going to miss about Johns? I mean everything. I feel like he's my grumpy spirit animal and his alternate way of looking at everything on planet Earth is going to be missed a lot, for sure. Hi my name is Leslie Wilbur. I've been listening to NOAGENDA since about 2021 and um...I'm from Loxahatchee Florida And I am so excited that we're meeting here! John, I'm gonna miss you so much.
