About this episode

The Secret Service deployed a decoy Air Force One and a catering truck to extract Donald Trump from Europe following credible assassination threats from Iran. Media outlets including MSNBC and NPR questioned the safety of the press corps left on the decoy vessel, while Trump joked about declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory to secure global energy flows. This high-stakes maneuver coincides with a media shift labeling the escalating Middle East conflict as Trump’s War with Iran.

Michigan politician Abdul El-Sayed released a campaign video styled after Blue's Clues to promote Medicare for All, while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez characterized her past Defund the Police support as lockdown-era rhetoric. In New York, Assembly member Emily Gallagher defended retail theft as a response to biological needs, contrasting with Rahm Emanuel’s critique of the Democratic Party’s border and healthcare platforms. Meanwhile, CBS Evening News saw a ratings surge under Matt Gutman just as a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against him and Disney. In Canada, the Online Harms Act introduces subjective hate speech penalties that could criminalize boycotts, and Nav Canada is replacing human air traffic controllers with AI-driven digital hubs.

Caitlyn Jenner advocated for biological standards in women’s sports with the phrase XY You’re Out, while the USS Abraham Lincoln faced reports of severe supply shortages after 260 days at sea. The episode features a knighting ceremony for Sir Avery of Hamilton and a tribute to the late John C. Dvorak from executive producer Mike the privileged taco salad. Darren O'Neill and Larry Blydener lead the deconstruction from FEMA Region Five.

CHAPTER 02 / 25 Discussion

Abdul El-Sayed, Blue's Clues Campaign Video Indoctrination

Michigan politician Abdul El-Sayed released a campaign video styled after the children's show Blue's Clues to promote mail-in voting and Medicare for All. The hosts critique the video as "indoctrination" aimed at "kidults" who desire a parental government figure. Darren O'Neill shares an anecdote about his time at DePaul University in Chicago, noting the early stages of woke culture in the communications department during the late 1980s.

abdul el-sayed· blue's clues· michigan· medicare for all· mail-in ballots· depaul university· woke culture

05:23 Abdul is blues clues that one Okay, so I get a little set up here. Okay now are you hip to blues clues? Yeah, I have nieces and nephews who were very big into but he's still around I know there's like a weird dude and there was like a dandy notebook and something yeah Yeah for those who may not know it was a kid show back probably at least 20 years ago or more hosted by a guy, very nice young dude dressed in a rugby shirt and jeans. And it was probably created for kids from I would say what? What would you like maybe three to eight years old or something like that. Very young kids. Yeah so the parents can put them in front of the television and be like ah that's your babysitter Yes and also unlike Sesame Street and some of the other things It wasn't at all slanted there was no political message in Blue's Clues which is reason why I used let my kids watch it

06:15 And they liked it a lot. And so this kid's, this guy sitting there and he had like a digital fake screen behind him and blue was the name of his dog was like this cute little hound dog except it was fake It was a digital cartoon thing and they would learn to count in the alphabet all that kind of stuff So that said This Abdul El-Sayed posted this actually a few weeks ago just resurfaced everywhere talking about well voting and Medicare and so forth. And he is dressed like the Blues Clues kid on purpose, on purpose with the exact same set little cartoon things kind of wicking it out of the screen. It's beyond belief you got to hear this indoctrination anyone? Oh yeah! Which is why we need money out of politics money in your pocket and Medicare for all

07:10 Here's the mail it never fails and makes me wanna wag my tail when it comes I want a whale. Wait wait wait wait this is Elsa Yates singing into the business. This isn't AI, this is legit this is real yes This is who people in Michigan want to put into office huh? Into the Senate yeah right in Washington DC Thanks mailbox We just got a letter. We just got a letter. We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from? Do you love this? What, I'm loving this to our buddy Netnet who lives in the great state of well once great state of Michigan

07:57 Yeah, he's been working on a boots on the ground that he said is probably going to have to be multiple pages and reports because of how bad things are. And I believe it now this is cementing that. Oh yeah like wow. Wow It looks like my ballot brought to me by my Secretary of State and with it I can participate in democracy The first day that I can turn this in is June 25th, but it has to be postmarked by July 21st. Or I can drop it off up until Election Day which is August 4th. Thanks Secretary of State! Thanks mailbox! Votes gonna do? We can too!

08:44 He should be thinking the US Postal Service which yes may or may not get your ballots there on time Yeah, now here's here's what I here's the really the kind of a backstory on this I saw this posted on X and there was an avalanche. I mean a fire hose of Comments saying what are you an idiot? And I don't just all negative stuff grow up get a job whatever etc etc And then I realized he's no idiot, man. He is very smart because this content goes right to the heart of most of his electorate

09:21 Because he's talking to kidults. People who never, really they never grew up They want someone to take care of them because they either can't or don't want to do it themselves So here's we're all on a kiddie show together It's blues clues and daddy Abdul will take care of you And I think about it Darren how many times? How many times going back maybe even to the Clintons Did people sort of refer to them as like America's mom and dad? I don't know if you ever did. I know I didn't no right, but it was Michelle Obama yeah then it was Joey and Jill right then wasn't Reese Witherspoon that's all your mama let it come out yes Yes, yes We all need a mamala

10:04 Exactly. So this guy is very, very sharp and he's not afraid to look like an idiot in service to grabbing votes! And a lot of his people are going to say yes because of that goofy cartoon. Well because he seems so likable Yeah, yeah. Be clear when I was in college, I was the one walking around with a T-shirt that had a drawing of Bill Clinton's face on it and on the front it said if Bill Clinton is the answer and on the back it said It must be a really stupid question So yeah, I've always been on the right and I'm not getting any heat over that from my your fellow students or at that time No because it was a six five though. True who's gonna you know really? this is true and it was the You know late 80s early 90s era so it was a little bit of a different time but yeah even then obviously the

11:02 University which was a Catholic university DePaul University in Chicago Mm-hmm was going Completely woke I was a communications major. I'm sure that's not a surprise to anybody he likes the talk the head of the department Was a lesbian who liked to spend way too much of the class time on Talking about her and her partner going down to I think it was Peru one of those kind of Southern American countries to adopt a child and mmm So it's gotten a lot worse from the boots on the ground that we've all heard And of course these kids who are being promised things without understanding

CHAPTER 03 / 25 Discussion

Chris Matthews, Democratic Socialists of America Policy Critique

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews appears in a clip discussing how the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have clearly defined radical positions, such as abolishing ICE and borders, which moderate Democrats fail to denounce. The hosts discuss Matthews' 2020 departure from cable news due to sexual harassment allegations, comparing his exit to that of Bill O'Reilly. They argue that the "police state" preferred by the left focuses on surveillance rather than incarceration.

11:47 the ramifications. It's easy if somebody walks up to you and like, hey do you want X amount of money or do you want this prize? Well yes well like on game show is remember when that all broke like hey somebody won $100000 on a game show yay and then they're like but then I had to pay 20 thousand dollars in taxes and I can't afford twenty thousand dollars in taxes it's because the electorate overall is not paying attention. I mean since we're on socials, I'm gonna run a Chris Matthew's clip one I was interested that he still alone me too. I think I saw this one and you know what? He's been gone What would you say maybe 10 years by now probably thinks I mean that would be my guess between five and ten since the it was Obama the shiver up his leg And then there was kind of his

12:35 going out the door so it was even be 12 years ago or something and let's he was also canceled for some reason he didn't leave voluntarily what happened we need to you know we need that book of knowledge guy right we need directly up Yeah, but here's what I was thinking just to divert us for a moment is...I was thinking about this a lot. We need we need a book of knowledge chick. Too often? So Adam has his with the guy who has low voice Yes yes and you or some other Ben or maybe Adam somebody cook this up for us and she got a really sexy voice really sexy but

13:14 She's kind of snarky and snotty so we ask her a question. She's like, what do you want now? Exactly would not be fun I think that was the other fun thing on reddit was I look these guys up who are they and they have they have this show called planet raids that always has pornographic album art it's like What? You mean by fully clothed redheads in Irish pubs. Oh, that's it yeah But this I mean this is what the... It has to be a leftist sorry Sorry for pointing at that because they're the only ones that would look at a fully clothed woman and go That's porn Of course yes No its a picture Yeah And its a pointy chick and its all created by Grok so all hail Elon There you are

13:57 But here is Chris Matthews. They probably never saw a real woman, that may be the problem. That's the answer! And they're like we don't understand what this is? Here's what I think, and i've been thinking about this for some days now. The DSA has done a favor to non-DSA Democrats to regular Democrats who are regular members of the party They have listed what they believe in their chair made that clear it said Peggy Noonan's column this week is very clear We're gonna get rid of ice not just ice we're gonna get rid of the border. We're not gonna have a border anymore We're not going effectively the

14:49 Hostages, what do you do then? You need an army. You don't like to have an army but you do need one! All these positions can be denied by any regular Democrat all you have to say is thank you DSA for telling us what you believe in I dont believe in that stuff Why haven't they? That's the question we've been asking this on Planet Rage For the last five years, which was why are the moderate normal Democrats and it seems there's less of them now. But why have they been acquiescing to this new very radical part? I mean is it all just money? Is it all just fear? I don't understand how you can sell your whole soul and country down the toilet

15:35 They're all commies, Darren. All of them! I mean the ones that say you don't need an army it's like okay let's just understand for one minute that if you had no army this country would be taken over within seconds Well, they're in favor of an army and that's the one that's dispersed or dispatched rather by the flock cameras to say get that citizen. He dropped a gum wrapper. You're much safer we can see you but really can't do anything about it! Yeah yeah now that's the Army they want the federal uh...you know the police state. They are kind of getting it Somebody's sitting in a room with 8,000 monitors watching everything that's going on and going well look there is an armed robbery or there There's a sexual assault. What can we do? Well nothing We don't have police or anybody anymore yeah like but we have cameras

16:25 I mean, we're not gonna put anybody in jail but we have cameras. Well they won't put anybody in jail for anything that matters but like being maybe a podcaster saying the wrong things that'll get you locked up true. They're coming for us man. Oh wait here we agreed Okay, we rang the bell. Whoo By the way, I checked Chris Matthews was bounced for allegations of sexual harassment So there we go Oh like Bill O'Reilly which means none of it was probably true and it was again a way to get rid of somebody that you didn't like and I love how people are very very Specific about who they believe in who they don't And I'm getting I get tired of that It's like if you believe somebody like Bill O'Reilly

CHAPTER 04 / 25 Discussion

Matt Gutman, CBS Evening News Ratings and Harassment Lawsuit

Matt Gutman saw a significant ratings boost while filling in for Tony Dokoupil on the CBS Evening News, surpassing four million viewers. Shortly after this success, former ABC News reporter Samira Saeed filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Gutman, ABC News, and Disney regarding incidents alleged to have occurred years ago. The hosts speculate on the timing of the lawsuit and its impact on Gutman's potential to permanently replace Dokoupil.

matt gutman· cbs evening news· tony dokoupil· samira saeed· abc news· sexual harassment· disney

17:09 and I do. I also believe Chris Matthews if he says he didn't do it, it's like where is the proof? If there's no proof for guys that have the audience that O'Reilly and Matthews had in the past silencing them they tried to do it to Rush they tried to do it to Hannity yeah they tried to do it to any conservative voice without fail and Matthews probably said something the ultra-left didn't like so like this what he's saying right here Oh, man the DSA people they don't want to hear this Well real proof has become kind of optional hasn't it and and in proof of that there's this story about another This is this is really funny. You know, that's Sinatra song That's life right? That's flying high with flying high in April shot down in May right Well, this guy was flying high in August and shot down a week later. This is His name is Matt Gutman you heard about this one

18:04 No, I don't think so. Now this is classic and you gotta kind of look behind this because i think there's more to the story than they're telling or someone's telling CBS Evening News scored its best weekly audience in months as struggling anchor Tony Dokopil was on vacation right and I've seen Tony he's pretty damn boring right Tony's show averaged 4.1 million viewers for the week of July 27th I'm sorry, this is uh... this other guy, the replacement guy Matt Gutmann he got 4.1 million viewers for the week of July 27 according to Nielsen making the show's best performance in 17 weeks and the first time The Evening News has topped the four million viewer mark since late March okay these upbeat numbers came in as Matt Gutman filled in for Docapill who has been struggling to keep the shows ratings up right now

18:56 Hosanna, Gutman's probably feeling real good about that. Isn't he? Sure he is! One week later... CBS star Matt Guttmann is facing a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit. As his turn behind the CBS Evening News desk helped deliver The Struggling Network a ratings boost the 48-year old was sued Friday by former ABC news field reporter Samira Saeed who accused him of making inappropriate sexual remarks during two assignments When Darren? Years ago, has to be years ago. You got it not just years ago several years ago. You picked up the mic I heard it! That was me I was getting gesticulating with joy over this story so it says that she filed lawsuit in LA Superior Court naming Gutman ABC News and apparent company The Walt Disney Company as defendants right now do you think isn't the timing of this suit rather strange did you wait until you saw him on TV and went huh

19:52 the company media I ate what there was at the one that all went after was the concerted effort going after the advertisers of Limbaugh, it's really where it started with like Limbaugh and Fox News. Yes And then it kind of just steamrolled from there because they realized people had zero spine and at any hint of a scandal at all they would pull their advertising I was having a conversation with Sergei the Russian handler the other day

20:33 About YouTube videos, and it's a very similar thing. He's like you can't easily Make money on YouTube if you're doing a show like ours Like no agenda like planet rage like that Larry. So you can't make money because advertisers run away where you're making money Oh, let's talk about Lego or let's talk about something so vanilla that there can never be any controversy. That's where the advertisers want to put their money because of this. Sure yeah So somehow Gene is making money by putting like very boring space video games up there and he's like, thanks for the warning! It's great I mean if you can make money doing it that's uh...

21:19 That's great, but it's because the hotter content doesn't make money and this does not surprise me except the guy. The guys name is funny cuz you say Gutman the first thing I think is gut-felled and I'm like no no the other guys. Yeah man now the interesting thing to his too I think whoever this woman's attorneys are to file this now I think they're they're not that sharp because if I was those guys I would wait until Gutman who looks like he was lining up to replace Dooku whatever his name is Wait till he's really entrenched, maybe capping five million views a night. Then you sue! Now CBS is going to give you a lot more go-away money with a guy like that sitting in place but just my thought. Is it about the money or is it about getting rid of the guy? Well it could be both yeah. Nobody said people on the left are all that smart no

CHAPTER 05 / 25 Discussion

Chelsea Handler and Kara Swisher, Roe v. Wade Ignorance

Chelsea Handler and Kara Swisher are criticized for a discussion in which Handler claimed a legal official would "overturn Roe v. Wade," despite the Supreme Court having already overturned the decision years prior. The hosts point to this as an example of journalistic failure and ignorance among media personalities. They suggest that such figures prioritize narrative over factual accuracy.

chelsea handler· kara swisher· roe v. wade· supreme court· todd blanche· misinformation

22:14 So this is just a quick drop from Chelsea Handler, which made me. Did you see this one? Oh yeah! We're going to get Todd Blanche he's going to be confirmed and what's... He's gonna overturn Roe v Wade What what? He's gonna overturn Roe V Wade?! Wait a minute didn't that happen already? Yes years ago Supreme Court We're all sitting around, all these men who have these powerful platforms are sitting around watching this happen to women. To communities that you could instead be supporting you don't have to like turn over a whole new leaf it's just about being a decent human being. And this again was with the Karis Wisher yes and she says right so is Karis Wisher ignorant of the fact that Roe v Wade was already

23:01 Thrown down by the Supreme Court, but like what are these people on the news? For this is why you cannot believe anything you see on any news program doesn't matter What network it's on or what podcast it's on always double-check your work kids because The anchors very rarely Are gonna push back if Kara Swisher at any idea of what was going on or journalistic credibility, she'd be like well what do you mean overturn Roe v. Wade? How's he gonna do that the Supreme Court did that. But she wouldn't do that because Chelsea is her buddy Right it's like no that would be inconvenient Yeah but its the socialist commie way we'll just change words Yes it is People are tired hearing about commies You know what We are too! yeah but this is what is dominating

CHAPTER 06 / 25 Discussion

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Defund the Police Rhetoric Shift

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) appeared on ABC News to discuss the evolution of the "woke" movement and her previous support for defunding the police. She characterized her past positions as "rhetoric" from a unique period during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The hosts argue that AOC and the DSA still fundamentally believe in abolishing prisons and the presidency despite changes in public messaging.

aoc· defund the police· abc news· covid-19· incarceration· crime rates· rhetoric

23:54 the news. This is AOC since we're on The Socialist, let's run through The Socialist clips here. Let's do that yeah and I have a local city councilman that has this saying woke one was crazy. Woke one was crazy! You were woke one AOC I mean, what part was crazy then? She was pretty much on the forefront of the original woke push.

24:30 Yeah. One was crazy. Okay, that's true. And I think that what's important is- And the guy she's talking to on ABC says that's true! Did you hear ABC when this was all going on saying oh all these things AOC and her likers are saying they're crazy so why is he agreeing with her now because again they really don't know what's going on? They are just bobbing their heads Sure Going along Mean if this guy was sharp he would have said well was your prediction that we'd all be dead in eight years from climate change Was I part of woke one or is that still stand a OC? Yeah, let's is the world ending are the yes. That's what she said water is rising We have to go all green even though we don't have enough electricity We all should have cars that we won't be able to charge Or you know when storms go through like they have in my home state of Illinois

25:28 Well, the power's been down for so many like every storm seems to be taking down about a quarter million customers according to just the local Chicago area. That's not even outside of the Chicago metropolitan area are out of power. It's like but well you don't want a gas car Do you know? No Just take our bikes. Yes, we have to assess what was it? I mean did the movement go too far with some of those positions i mean you you briefly supported the idea of defunding the police well um You know, I think I think that During this and also want to ask you because maybe I missed something Yeah When did AOC back away from Defunding the police he's like you at one point

26:15 We're backing defunding the police. Did AOC ever come back out and say, no no I think the police need money? I don't remember seeing that but i might have missed it. I challenge you to find that clip Darren and I'll pay you handsomely if you can but if he can't you owe me Right! No thank you That's not a bad bet During this time and during especially during COVID there was a huge opening of the overtime window. We were shut down, there was some of the highest unemployment rates that we have seen because I mean we're shut down why AOC? Joey No, Joey. Those shutdowns and I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place. And I actually think that The discussions that had that were had in that time were quite fruitful. I think that when we talk about crime today it's fundamentally different than the way that we talked about crime in bringing crime down right?

27:13 And I think that we all share in the goals of having as low a crime rate as possible. during lockdown, of course rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today. And I'm grateful that these candidates have the opportunity to present who they are to their electorate and what they're campaigning on in this moment. Yeah, we just saw one of them singing The Blues Clues song or something. Yes, and so rhetoric for her as a synonym for lies? Is that what she means by that, rhetoric right? I think so. She's a DSC. I mean, she is not a regular Democrat. She has said that she is part of the Democrat socialist movement and they want to according to their co-chair

27:59 Abolish police, abolished prisons, abolish the presidency, abolish the Supreme Court. So AOC will tell you well we all want crime to go down We all have that same goal and she'll tell you that while also understanding That she believes in her group believes well The way to do this is to never incarcerate anybody And I think that's just insanity. Yeah, but maybe it holds water Darren because she did say... She said this direct quote crime is fundamentally different now Right than it was But he didn't ask her how How would that be AOC? Details don't matter Yes how when what where and why That's what a story should be if you're a journalist and yet they don't ask

CHAPTER 07 / 25 Discussion

Emily Gallagher, Retail Theft and Criminal Justice Reform

New York Assembly member Emily Gallagher defended retail theft from stores like CVS and Walgreens, characterizing it as a response to "biological needs" and wealth disparity. The hosts dispute this, citing the massive financial losses and store closures caused by organized retail crime. They also discuss how the removal of punishments for minors in Chicago led to a surge in carjackings, refuting the idea that reporting on crime is "fear-mongering."

emily gallagher· cvs· walgreens· shoplifting· carjacking· chicago· criminal justice reform

28:54 And you're like, well why don't you ask? Why do you just keep bobbing your head and saying oh okay yeah yep. Because they're there to promote not to question really. Well this is the issue You've also got the clip here and I think i have the close to the same one. Your clip number one kind of fits right in, I think with the uh oh what is crime? You're going to love Emily Gallagher yes What is crime that's a question isn't it yeah It is! I like that just like AOC what is really I mean you know it's...you've gotta have different levels You do.

29:44 billion dollar companies like CVS and Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by. So I would say that the true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city, that there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need. And so one of the things that I'm fighting for- Is it really a biological need to have soap? Humans existed for a long time on this planet when soap was not... Yeah. ...a thing

30:20 I think if we wanted to, we could check with both CVS and Walgreens and ask just how the soap pilfering... How severe a problem that is. And i'll guarantee you they'll say not very. No, no for people that will they grab a bunch of things usually things that they can resell Yeah at a much lower price it's you saw you It's the perfect way to run a store If you can go steal everything from somebody else then sell it out of the trunk of your car Definitely yeah But yeah, well why doesn't this New York Assembly person Emily Gallagher at her office wherever it is I don't know which borough she's out of but why aren't you giving away bars a soap? Good question or opening up the bathrooms to the public come use ours washup here. Exactly but you would think if it really is just things like so that you could get one of these companies it would be great sponsored by

31:18 You know, uh yeah dove or dial or whoever Irish spring I get sent to the Irish but she just lies because there are countless homeless shelters and food banks and so forth that are giving that stuff away right now. Okay? So she's just lying while the CVS is in The Walgreens that have left these areas have been pretty clear about the amount of money They are losing to theft and it's not a small amount in it is certainly not just soap and toothpaste. No, but you know that you expect these companies when she says we're protecting these companies? You mean we are enforcing the laws that people don't steal or do you mean that were not forcing them at gunpoint to remain open in areas where they cannot make a profit due to

32:15 constant shoplifting, armed robberies. And there have been multiple stories of these things, multiple stores having these problems. Sure and the communities then go well what do you mean that's racist that you're leaving? Well it's like no they won the employees in the store are at in danger because of the amount of crime in your area and their being robbed so much There was one, I think it was in New York. One of these AutoZone or one of these other auto parts stores that was like completely looted twice within a 24 hour period. That's by hungry people you should know because everybody drinks motor oil everyone right there just there's this thing and necessity can't do anything about it like if your whole store If you haven't seen the videos You're not looking at all but when you see these things happen

33:10 where a crowd of 20 to 50, maybe more people all go in at the same time and just take whatever they want and run out. The store is fairly empty by the time that is done it's not somebody going in and grabbing you know a loaf of bread or a quarter motor oil or whatever It's taking everything that they can Yeah And you expect the stores to stay open how? And so one of the things that I'm fighting for at the state level is to make sure we pass things like treatment, not jail and that we hold the line. Oh there you go. Treatment, not jail. Treatment, not jail. Can't put them in, can't incarcerate them now we're going to treat them. Yeah. Like oh, that's gonna take care of it? It's like, oh, we're not gonna send cops! No. We're gonna send social workers

34:04 And shrinks. Exactly, they're going to take care of everything until they start getting shot at then they run. Yeah. On the incredible criminal justice reforms that we have done over the last 10 and 20 years that are constantly being threatened by right wing media who are looking to fearmonger about people who are actually just in absolute dire straits Yeah, it's fear-mongering. Reporting on crimes is fear mongering! Totally yes just take that beating and shut up Change the wording change the language No you're fear mongering You can't tell that people looted this store and um you know physically assaulted the cashiers And bloodied them no no That's that's fear mongering telling people the truth of what's going on

34:53 This concept of having no punishment for crimes makes zero sense when you understand that there are some human beings who are just going to commit crimes. You're not gonna stop them, yeah? There's nothing you can do I don't know what it is in their DNA but you aren't gonna stop them and when you go well the worst thing that you could possibly do and you and I discussed this a few years ago in Chirac here when the question of why carjackings were going through the roof. And there was an assemblyman here in Chicago who put out a statement like, this is all because of these violent video games like Grand Theft Auto! Yes, yes I recall that and i'm like no it's not its because Preckwinkle Perry Winkle whatever what their name Preckwinkle I think that they changed the law

35:52 that if you were under the age of 18, you were not going to be tried as an adult for carjacking. And they put that out there and then what happened? Carjackings went way up by people under the age of 18! And they were surprised it's like taking away the punishment had an effect and they were like amazed that taking away the punishment was having that kind of an effect it's like this is not Something that you need to go to school for this is not something. You need a psychological degree for this does nothing you mean Except common sense that if people feel like they can get away with bad behavior and have no consequences They are much more likely to do so

Rahm Emanuel, Democratic Party Border Policy Criticism

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel criticized the Democratic Party's 2020 platform for suggesting free healthcare for illegal immigrants while American families struggle with costs. Emanuel positioned himself as a moderate, arguing that the party lost control of the border narrative. The hosts discuss whether Emanuel is positioning himself for a future presidential run against figures like Gavin Newsom.

rahm emanuel· gavin newsom· border security· healthcare· democratic party· moderate politics

36:45 But what they would answer you with, Darren is those teenage carjackers were stealing those cars because they were hungry. They had a necessity! They needed some wheels baby! Absolutely gotta get some wheels so I can drive it through the front of uh... of a supermarket and clean that out, go someplace else. Right? They're like how dare you have a car when this poor kid here doesn't exactly one exactly. You should let them use your car right yes I mean speaking of Chirac this is our Ex Mayor Rahm Emanuel who i think Has some aspirations to throw his hat in the ring to be the Democratic presidential nominee. Oh yeah, I'd love to see him against Newscom Captain Hair Gel. That would be a funny battle. Yeah it would and at least a Rahm Emanuel though you know if this is that kind of a matchup Emmanuel according to what i'm about to play is positioning himself as more of the moderate which I don't know if that's going along with how he's always governed but

37:48 I mean, if you're going up against Newscom then you have to take a step to the center. I think B, I want to be very clear if you control the border, you send a signal that people who break the law don't get rewarded and II so angry at our part of my party not only losing control of border but in 2020 debate raising your hand and saying I'm gonna give health care to people across illegally Forget the immigration policy, the value system. You have American families suffocating under healthcare costs not everybody universally covered but were significantly well on our way there and you're talking about free health care to having crossed the border illegally at every level that was foolish by the party

38:39 Yeah, let me play the part of your typical journalist. What do you make of that Larry? Well what I make is he used an interesting phrase when he said people who cross the border illegally are not going to be rewarded well that's pretty goddamn weak ROM. Is it correct? Response to that question is they're going to be Deported and were prosecuted because they've committed a crime but saying they're not gonna Be rewarded that kind of puts it in a different different light doesn't it? I think it does a little so and all these guys This is the standard play that they all do whether its Joey where there's I'm a moderate I don't I'm a moderate until they get into office then that goes out the window. So

39:24 That's easy to claim you're a moderate. Of course, but this is how you get elected and that's usually the way it is I'm still...I don't understand where are the crossovers? Where are the people that are willing to put in the time You're a tried and true conservative, and you just pretend to be a liberal. And you run in New York or Detroit or wherever it is. You get elected then go surprise! Yeah where are those guys? That's a great question See this is where we need Minerva or Sybil or whatever that chick We need that girl I can't believe it hasn't happened That is the Manchurian candidate kind of concept It sells something

CHAPTER 09 / 25 Discussion

Canada Online Harms Act, Hate Speech and Boycotts

The hosts discuss new Canadian legislation regarding hate speech and "hate bias motivated incidents." They highlight examples where promoting a boycott of organizations supporting the LGBTQ+ community could be determined a crime. They argue the law is subjective and creates a "protected class" system where "wrong-think" is prosecuted while hostility toward conservatives remains permitted.

canada· hate speech· boycotts· lgbtq· pierre polievre· rcmp· online harms act

40:04 Yeah. And get to where you need to be and then just like, well I'm not going to really vote the way you think I am. Huh? Just a quick clip here just to show that we do cover every now and then things that happen outside of the United States. These are our buddies from Grimerica great show. Yes. Talking about what I'm guessing from what I understood from what I've heard The new Canadian law about hate speech. Interviews that are motivated by bias against the victims blah, blah, blah which are not a criminal offense for example disrespectful disrespectful Disrespectful it's pretty subjective Disrespectful discriminatory or hostile speech Wow I hate I know Disrespectful wow

40:58 Well, we know who gets to decide. Whoever is in charge of the government at that time! I think just the normal RCMP climbs down off his Palomino and says that wasn't very respectful. You're going to jail. To who? But it's better... A hate bias motivated incident may be determined to be a hate bias motivated crime upon further investigation Yeah, we can look for your hate bias. Is that a new game? Wow, Canada's so good. Hate bias by Hasbro! There's a little spinner... there's a spinner arrow there on that game I hope yes Well there should be at the very least Yes Play it It's a party game yeah Incident example an individual creates a social media post promoting the boycott of companies That support The 2SLGBTQI plus community Whoa Yeah So Boycotting

41:51 an LGBTQ plus community event or organization just boycotting them is now going to be a crime in Canada? Congratulations Canadians. Yeah well they could shrink the penal code very simply by just saying wrong think will be prosecuted because that's what they're talking about it's very scary very I'd be at bias crime Wow. But it's okay the other way though, this is the crazy infuriating thing I feel like we're living in a dream but they can be completely hateful to Pierre Polyev all the conservatives anything normal they can be super hateful and biased against that but that's gonna be okay so its hate one way one-way hate yeah what when you're putting this into the legal code which

42:51 Well, it's the hate bias to do this to an LGBTQ but it's not to do the same thing to a straight organization. Straight person whatever... It's like well that's not That's not an honorable thing. Well, no and you know in the United States the first time any government agency proclaimed anybody a protected class that was just basically a step upwards in racism because if you're protected and the other classes isn't well they're kind of below you aren't they? Yes, they are And that is the overall viewpoint that people are bringing I know this is little out

CHAPTER 10 / 25 Discussion

Whatever Podcast, Racism and Prejudice Definitions

A clip from the Whatever Podcast features a debate between a Black woman and a Ukrainian woman regarding the definition of racism. The Black participant argues that a minority attacking a white person is "prejudice" rather than "racism" because it lacks the same societal effect. The hosts criticize this viewpoint as "indoctrination" that suggests only white people can be racist.

whatever podcast· racism· prejudice· onlyfans· ukraine· identity politics

43:33 left field but this is an honor of JCD who I was getting kind of sad we haven't had any whatever girls on the show and this kinda goes in with that it's what. Wait a minute, what girls? What whatever girls? There's a Whatever podcast Okay, which I should do and then there's a bunch of women that are on there who? Are like only fans models things And this is a two-parter with the same woman who was a young black woman and they're discussing what is It isn't racist which goes right along with what the Grimerica boys were just saying. Oh

44:13 As a black person, even if I was racist towards a white person it doesn't have the same effect as if a white person were racist towards me. That's what I meant. The jail system where black people go to jail than white people you know... But let me ask you this- A black person walks up to a white person not aggravated just punches them in the face because that person is white Is that racism? I don't think its racism Wow Maybe prejudice Right Wait, maybe it's prejudice. If you see a white person and you just hit them with the brick I mean that's not really racist That's just having prejudice You see the difference? No I don't either A black man come up to me on a train He spit in my face And he called me a white b**** That I should f*** myself I think that's racist Wait, that happens?! Yes, that actually happened In New York Bro she could have been Irena's

45:09 Who's Ukrainian? Who are Ukrainian, right? Yes. In her instance was that an act of racism that she experienced If you want to call that racism then sure I just don't know Not what I call it! I probably call it racism Do you call it racism And he specifically said something about your... Yes Maybe prejudice What?! So again This young black female sitting right across next to whatever she was with a young white female Ukrainian girl who had somebody come up on a train or something and spit in her face and call her a white bitch. Is that racist? Well, no I don't really think that's racist how? How well it's because only white racism matters of course can black people be racist towards other minority groups now so can the black person be racist towards all Asian person

46:03 Why don't you want to say it? You can just admit it. No, because... Can black people be racist towards Asians? Maybe. What the fuck?! Wait! Can black people be racist towards Latinos? I feel like minority on minority It just doesn't mean anything. I don't know how to explain it. Okay, I'm with the woman that said what? Minority on minority? It doesn't MEAN anything. I'm trying to wrap my brain around that that it only matters if it is a white person against any other minority. That's the only racism that this woman believes there is anybody that is not white, that is actively hostile, actively assaulting, actively hating another person just because of the color of their skin because of their ethnicity

47:03 Well, that's not racism. I guess not very it this is so and i understand why jcd brought a lot of these one they bring a little levity but they also scare the hell out of you when you realize these women are not alone in the way they think now What do you mean by it doesn't mean anything? Like so it's only bad when white people do something because that's the main core though. First of all, I'm not racist It is a little bit racist to say that white people or other minorities can't face racism from black people I'm just saying that it doesn't have the same effect and if it doesn't have the same effect That kind of just does it matter

47:49 Hmm. I mean, okay Wow again the Katerina like Harris go on bad with the names what the woman Sarah toothscar from Charlotte Charlotte? Yes She was killed dead Because of the color of her skin What do you mean it doesn't have the same effect if it goes the other way that's just insanity that's just Well, maybe she missed that story. It's indoctrination 101 and she probably watches Blue's Clues with El Sayed. Right? I don't know. Get that mail-in ballot, that's all that matters How many ballots did he have though it should have been like a thousand mail in ballots like fill out for your friends Just one He's not he's not that special if you were special like me and LA'd have gotten eight when i only needed two And If You Would Have Sent Those In With The Wrong Votes Oh yeah, I would be in jail right now They would've come for you Don't worry Definitely Yeah Now if you were to put those all and vote a democrat then they might of just Probably Not

CHAPTER 11 / 25 Discussion

UK Wildfires, Barbecue Bans and Land Management

Wildfires in the United Kingdom have led to government emergency alerts and a ban on disposable barbecues by officials like Andy Burnham. The hosts compare the UK situation to California, arguing that the fires are often caused by arson or poor land management—such as failing to clear brush—rather than climate change. They criticize bureaucrats for "confusing activity with achievement" by banning small items while failing to address systemic issues.

uk· wildfires· andy burnham· arson· climate change· land management· california

48:51 They didn't notice that it was just a rounding error. Where do you want to go next? Well, well well since we were going briefly offshore or over the border There's a couple of funny stories here from From the UK about Apparently they've been suffering through some wildfires Darren interesting like yeah and United States and yeah Yeah You know I have some experience with those having lived in LA as long as they did And usually when they used to begin, when I first got to LA there's always been fires in Los Angeles even before there were people there. It was just a very dry place but they would call it what it was back in the day and most of them were arson

49:37 Okay, including the most famous one of all now which of course is a Pacific Palisades conflagration Which was set by some creep? Didn't just happen and even you know Karen Bass who was partying in Ghana as the city burned She doesn't want to mention that because that's sort of kind of undercuts their climate change position. Doesn't it yes it does Yes, I mean no agenda pointed out they had hands-on a book from the 1800s which pointed out the amount of wildfires going on even then long before we had electric lines and cell towers and all. Yes absolutely

50:20 So they've been raging in the UK and I have two clips and one is it's like the Yin and the Yang In the political mindset. And the first one is some very happy giggly newsreader chick Talking about she got, in the course of one evening, three emergency cell phone warnings from the British government as she calls them Annie Burnham And and they woke her up because she had to get up and do the show the next day She wasn't happy about that, but she's really not that upset. Just listen what she says Anyway, I got a alert from Auntie Bernie on the government three times just to be clear With this seven o'clock ish one then I got it again at about 10 and then again at ten to eleven and I'd gone to bed early cuz I need to get up

51:08 and I just can't am i not doing it right is there a way of dismissing it? You're viewing it or you're pointing... Well that's what I thought they know, I just went oh wildfires and put it down. The whole thing about this is Andy Burnham is trying to do something I get that he has actually banned disposable barbecues as we know he's appointed a Prime Minister and he's pledged to buy Okay, did you hear what he's done? What Burnham has done. He's banned barbecues! Well it sounds like California! Yeah yeah because when in doubt just ban something that's always the fix ban it anything just ban something. Yeah California my buddy when he lived and think he still in the Bay Area oh no you can't have a

51:50 a fire, but you can't put that in your fire. It doesn't matter how cold it is outside and I can have you putting that horrible smoke into the air which then of course went down the line as well where the stories with New York and like pizza ovens? No no we can have you doing right its all sorts of we will control And so, you know at the top of her blathering she said you know am I doing something wrong? Yes. You are! You have the wrong attitude lady okay?! You should be pissed at Burnham uh... So i think there's a little more in this clip yes um and then we can get to number five truth up the truth about wildfires actually ban disposable barbecues as we now he's appointed a fire minister and is pledged by european style fighting aircraft that's all fine he shouldn't be doing something

52:40 How much are they spending on aircraft to fight fires? Right, right. Don't mention that but it's all fine because he is doing stuff He is banning stuff We're buying planes! Because planes are cheap Planes are very cheap So then from the same British station I guess this was a later telecast You get a very different and more realistic and truthful appraisal of the wildfire situation in England I don't think anyone is saying that wildfires and fires in general aren't serious. I guess the question is, was the alert system the right tool by which to tell people about the danger?

53:24 I think it undermines the importance of the emergency system. If you've got something like a war or an earthquake, or some things that are just so existentially threatening that everybody needs to be told immediately at that level – that's a high state alert for everyone who is in emergency and Whilst it is very serious that we've got wildfires, it runs the risk of actually undermining people taking it seriously. It's a bit like an Nanny intervention. We want to be seen to be doing something there are arsonists. The majority of fires started from other things that we know broken bottles and others but why are we not having a discussion about what's happened with rewilding about the

54:06 There you have it. This sounds exactly like the coverage Adam and John had on the American wildfire. Same exact things, they're stopping the clearing of brush, they're stopping all these things in the usually under the guise of global warming and then the end result is that whole place burns down and then they want to blame this

54:52 Yes, and what this guy alluded to as well And the first one a woman didn't quite understand was it kind of little little phrase that I remember guy telling me years ago When I was working for a big company and there are a lot of people Anybody working for corporate America knows us? There's so many people out there or always kind of pretending to be busy busy busy. Oh, I'm so busy do this about you know and this guy said You know You should never confuse activity with achievement. Yeah, you know and all these bureaucrats and clowns they just claim I'm so busy i'm doing this I'm banning barbecues, I'm buying planes so I'm really busy but you're not getting the job done are you? But that's how it works. So they can list that and then

55:37 the mainstream media will be well they're really trying hard. They're trying to yes, yes look how busy they are do x y and z while they ignore again who why what when and how who why what where in how which would make the story they don't want to really know how the fires are starting no there are arsonists yeah believe that or not people are starting fires a lot of times intentionally a lot of times accidentally You know, it's like but it's humans and if you do not properly treat the things which can then lead to a buildup will like in California bunch of it was well we're not clearing the brush underneath the power lines or so when there is a problem where a power line comes down. Well, of course there's something to light and that it lights a lot

56:31 Yeah. Fire. In the meantime, leave the reservoirs empty because you know we'll just handle it with I don't know spray wax or something. Oh yeah when the whole... Has LA been rebuilt yet now? I mean i know they said this was all gonna be really quick and uh no no almost nothing has been rebuilt yeah as was Predicted yes, Corolla did he was he was telecast or podcasting I should say from a hotel room The fire wasn't even out yet And he said I guarantee you You know in a year and a half nothing nothing will have been rebuilt It's all gonna be hung up in permitting because they don't what they don't want this like this anymore They went low-income housing in Malibu and they're just gonna wait the property owners out until they say, you know Alright, I'll sell it at a loss. This is a battle. I cannot win and he's right

CHAPTER 12 / 25 Discussion

Donald Trump, Air Force One Decoy Maneuvers

The Secret Service utilized a decoy Air Force One and a catering truck to smuggle Donald Trump out of Europe following a NATO summit due to credible threats from Iran. Media outlets, including MSNBC and NPR, questioned the safety of the press corps left on the decoy plane. The hosts note that Bill Clinton used a similar body-double tactic in Islamabad in 2000 and argue that the President's safety is the Secret Service's primary mandate.

donald trump· air force one· secret service· iran· bill clinton· major garrett· h.r. mcmaster

57:22 It's a crazy system. Yeah, how about the Trump plane swap? Was that a good one to gin? I love that you got something with this don't you yeah i've got a lot because this was a very entertaining story. Yeah right states and the Iranian back who these carried out separate attacks on shipping vessels near the Strait of Hormuz Now, before the war began about 130 ships per day moved through that waterway. According to Reuters only eight ships traversed the strait within the past week marking a new low. Joining me now CBS News contributor H.R McMaster he was one of four national security advisors to President Trump during his first administration. HR we'll get to the Strait of Hormuz in a second but I've got to ask you

58:10 about the Air Force One misdirection story. You've flown on Air Force One many times, you have a keen understanding of national security threats flying in and out of sensitive areas of the world? How do you evaluate the evasive maneuvers the Secret Service ordered the President to take and those who flew with the president and those who were stuck on the decoy Air Force One?" Yeah hey Major, well you know it seemed like the system worked to me in terms of protecting the president. You know I mean there was a clear connection between the Secret Service and the intelligence agencies that gave the President, I'm sure, or Secret Service the heads up

58:48 You know, it's clear that the Iranians are trying to kill him. I mean this isn't a secret that they've tried to get others to kill him in the past. They released-the RGC released you know a video of patterned life video on on the first lady and and the president son Barron, so So I think that if the system worked in this case in terms of the handoff And I think we just have to remain vigilant because Iran does have a pretty extensive terrorist network, sleeper zone network especially in Europe where they've conducted many assassinations over the years major. So I think the concern was the location that he was in Europe? Yeah and rightfully so. There's an active threat. That's the Major Garrett and...so that was fairly straightforward

59:40 reporting but then you have MSNBC well, MS Now. I just want to say MSNBC got a get a shot collar on that one. One of the officials said another official called the reports of threats against Trump's life is really derived not US generated and viewed as low confidence I wanted to talk to you about this because in part, we're both quite familiar with the vernacular of government. What do you make of that report? What do you make of that Larry? There ya go! It's Pepper and Patty just giving you the what-do-you-make-of-that. And this was very low right because the president is going to hop into a catering van or whatever it was on a low chance of a threat

1:00:23 and kind of what it means about this threat as far as you can suss out. Well, it does seem to be consistent with the view of the CIA with respect to Israeli intelligence of late that you might remember there was reporting that Mr Ratcliffe was not convinced that Israeli intelligence was correct that you could decapitate the Iranian regime with a strike on Khamenei and cause regime change I mean he kind of called it, he kinda called a BS there in the situation room. So this is i think of a piece of his natural skepticism and the skepticism of the professional intelligence analysts at the CIA obviously you and I haven't seen that so we're no position to judge it but again I don't begrudge The Secret Service... Oh no but they MSLB, they are always going to judge! It doesn't matter if they've seen the uh

1:01:08 Lee, any documentation whatsoever. They're going to judge that's their job! That's their job they're judges Yeah yeah obviously you and I haven't seen that so we are in no position to judge it but again i don't begrudge the secret service for being overly cautious and not will be not being willing to take a risk even if there wasn't unanimity about the veracity of the intelligence It's true. What is also true as a president and his close advisors can go back to the Secret Service and say I understand the threat but i need a different plan that what President Clinton did, that clearly not what happened here Let's talk about where we are in this war And I want to go wait a minute Peppermint Patty I think you're wrong about the Clinton Want to hear this one more time? Yeah let's hear it again

1:01:52 It's true. What's also true is a president and his close advisors can go back to the Secret Service and say I understand the threat, but I need a different plan That's what President Clinton did that's clearly not what happened here Let let's talk about where we are in this war. Um, I'm like we need to hear any more about the war I want to go to This clip from PBS news hour How unusual is it for the Secret Service to turn Air Force One and its passengers, to include White House staff, the traveling press into a decoy? As far as we know, the decoy fact of that question has only happened once before. In 2000 President Bill Clinton landed in Islamabad you see there in an unmarked plane after

1:02:34 after Air Force One had landed and a body double who looked like Clinton got off of Air Force One. Did he look like, what is it? Daddy Longlegs the Joey clone that was impersonating him. I think it was somebody who was just fairly close so that way... Was eating a cheeseburger as he walked or something That's what sold it! He had a Big Mac in one hand and a large chocolate shake in the other Okay And probably three hookers following him Hey Jeff, though if you go beyond decoys to include feints or secret trips like George W. Bush's to Iraq the Secret Service has taken steps like that before as for questions today of the vulnerability Of those people who did fly on Air Force One without President Trump Matranga said the bottom lines the Secret Service had to make a trade-off I don't think that anybody intentionally put

1:03:37 you know, the anchors or anyone else of the White House press corps in harm's way. But that was a risk that had to be weighed and at the end of the day we have to look at continuity of American government and quite frankly I don't ask to say this but just to say it is that the president of United States is more important than every single person on that plane Oh, they're not going to want to hear that. They don't want to hear that at all. No the press is gonna be like no we're the most important one ever! Of course they are. Now this is how NPR covered it The reporting contradicts what the White House told the press traveling with the president during a recent trip to Turkey. They were contradicting! Yes And as NPR's Tamara Keith reports, that may have left reporters vulnerable President Trump boarded Air Force One as usual but The Washington Post reports he was then smuggled off the plane in a

1:04:30 catering truck and flew on an entirely different aircraft. An entirely different aircraft, not just a different aircraft! Entirely. Not just the fuselage the wings and everything it could have been a partially different aircraft yes you went on a totally different aircraft I feel like, is there anything from Scott Simon on this stuff? I kind of miss him. We gotta jam him into these shows somehow Darren." He might be your beat you can follow Scott's closely. Alright i'm gonna do that. I'm gonna put that on me. I'm carrying Scott yeah. Huggled off the plane in a catering truck and flew on an entirely different aircraft

1:05:06 NPR hasn't confirmed the report, but journalists and White House aides who unknowingly flew on the decoy plane were firmly instructed to keep their window shades lowered. Later talking to reporters Trump never let on. Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against Air Force One? I have been threatened all the time! I'm number one on their list That's not a lie! That is no lie He is definitely number 1 It has been well known For all sorts of reasons. Yeah before you but if I go you go, right? I love that whole oh that pissed them off so much when he said But do they not understand it didn't really matter whether he was on the plane or not and these are the same people That are going to be little

1:05:56 The threats against his life yet when he leaves the plane and they're on it all of a sudden these are very credible threats. How dare you leave these other people on this plane? When you knew they were trying to shoot it down Sure, well there all the Butler false flag people right if you're going to be in the White House press corps If you're going to Be one of the few that travels with the president on Air Force One I think Unless you're a complete moron, you have to understand the dangers that are inherent to that job. How would you not? Sure. Like, you know your near guy who has had more assassination attempts I believe or was the at least there were more times that Secret Service actually had to fire on assailants than any other president. Oh no doubt

1:06:52 So, of course if you're around him that might be a little dangerous. So perhaps, perhaps someday you want to change professions. Tamara Keith, NPR News. Senator Richard Blumenthal says he wants to know details about President Trump's travel out of Turkey after a NATO summit. Blumenthal wants to know what the safety calculations were for journalists and others who traveled on Air Force One? And that's why I'd like to know what precautions were taken to make sure that they were safe flying in an airplane that could have been a target of the Iranians with

1:07:32 Missiles or other devices that were capable of baiting the defensive mechanisms on the old Air Force one Blumenthal spoke on CNN. Yeah with all due respect senator blumenthal you're a moron Yeah, he's also the stolen Valor man isn't it? Yes He is You know what I'm surprised at I would think that by now in fact maybe we should get musk on this why hasn't some reporter robots been invented so all these press people can feel safe. They can sit home in their basements and you know, converse with the president watch him while Robbie the robot you know Press Corps guy is he's who cares if he gets blown up? It's okay right? You just have your analog it's like a little walker thing exactly they did a bit like that on The Big Bang Theory which was... Did they? Sheldon as the robot and he couldn't leave the house for some reason I don't remember why

1:08:25 But it could put Grudge's hat on him with the press pass and the headband. Right, all you need is like an iPad for the head You put them on Zoom or something like that Yeah And everything is good Bob's your uncle It just seems to... Yeah So easy This I thought we don't know again Normally covers the of the podcast but Rogan I thought had an interesting take on the Trump decoy Okay, apparently there was this plot where Iran was trying to kill Trump remember when he was supposed to get in the Air Force one that Carter gave him mm-hmm, and then instead he flew in the old Air Force one okay? Well they're saying that he actually didn't even go in the old air force one that they snuck them out on a truck Okay like some fucking

1:09:15 cargo truck, and then put him in another kind of plane and flew them out of there. And then they put the press in Air Force One because they were apparently worried that we're going to target Air Force One as well. So imagine Trump with a press on Air Force One. And they were thinking about possibly targeting them. Holy shit He hid in an airport catering container and by putting him there he means they were there because they we're going to be there Anyway, the only thing that changed was Trump was taken Yes off the plane in the catering thing Genius I know Taylor Swift is used the same thing to get in and out of arenas I wonder how the food wasn't that catering truck prepared from inside their oh

1:09:57 Oh, just might have come out with a lamb shank or something. Just yeah Yeah This is some good stuff great stuff get to a military jet for a secret flight out of the country After the NATO summit last month and this is being reported by The New York Times the thing is though I think they put the press on Air Force One so if they flew him out was because they were worried They were gonna try take down Air Force One And they took the press. If you take the press off, then they know that we're not playing games. Just everything's normal. Exactly! And if the press dies so sad... Oh my god. That's fucking wild. If that is true it is so wild he didn't even tell them hey guys uh we're not really gonna get on this plane No one's getting on this plane Somebody tell Joe that Clinton did the same thing I guess he missed that as well

1:10:51 It's all right, Joe. But you know it's an interesting concept. It is and then they all want to get upset because we were on the plane and we were in harms way it's like well the only difference is whether Trump was on the plane or not? You knew you were going to be on the plane! You signed up for that gig. Hmm...you know you're covering the president, you know you're on Air Force One, you know that has some danger so come on So they can all ask for hazard pay now. They should! If you're covering the president, I'd be like pay me double man Yeah If you got to be anywhere near that guy it could get very dangerous very quick But he doesn't care UFC thing right? Hey gotta go sometime Hey we talked about on the last show He's like I gotta go We all gotta go at some point and Trump in the age that he is i think his understanding

1:11:45 you know, he's there to do a job. And it's hard to put yourself into anybody else issues no matter what. Sure. I think after the Butler thing Trump had a reckoning that if I don't know what his belief system is but if you believe in a higher power at all a bullet literally grazes your ear but does not blow your head off. I think you kind of double down, triple down quadruple down or more on the...I'm here to do a job this is clear and the man or woman upstairs whatever you believe in is looking out for him one would think yeah

CHAPTER 13 / 25 Discussion

WNBA Logic, Transgender Athletes and Biological Advantage

Caitlyn Jenner discussed the WNBA, using the phrase "XX you're in, XY you're out" to advocate for protecting women's sports under Title IX. The hosts discuss the biological advantages of male athletes and mention a $10 million challenge for the WNBA champions to play a high school boys' team. They argue that logic is being ignored in the push for transgender inclusion in female leagues.

caitlyn jenner· wnba· title ix· caitlin clark· trans athletes· basketball· logic

1:12:38 Because it's a very interesting position to be in and the guy, I mean he's either just a total badass as people are like oh my god Trumpers. Hey i didn't even vote for trump the first time shame on you no you weren't well at the time that so i was faced down with all red mill detachment thing okay i forgive you derek time flies when you're having fun where do we want to go this media deconstruction Well, this is kind of fun one here with a kind of catchphrase that might catch on. This is Caitlyn Jenner talking about one of our favorite topics... Wait! Before we go here wait a minute, wait a minute We're talking about the WNBA right? And last week did I not suggest almost beg both you and Adam Curry both at 6'5

1:13:28 to apply for the WNBA. What are you waiting for? I haven't heard a goddamn thing, Darren! Get busy!" We could be enforcers... that's an interesting thing. Enforcers didn't usually exist in basketball In the NBA really they don't exist and the WNBA they didn't exist but hockey is the sport where you have the enforcer which is somebody that almost entirely on the team to fight people on the other team. Was that Dave, The Hammer Schultz? Is he one of those guys there were a few of them in the name Don't you wish you were nicknamed The Hammer I'm telling ya man There was some Stu Grimson was one of them here in Chicago. There were You know A few that that was when they went on the ice you knew within seconds most likely there was going to be the gloves dropping and a fight breaking out

1:14:26 There's nothing more interesting to me and there's a bunch of videos on YouTube that anybody can look up of NHL players talking To each other before and after Fights including there is something you know, they're sitting there. They're waiting for the puck to drop So this isn't you know when the referee is holding their he's getting ready to drop The puck play will go in but they wait until the puck drops for the fight to start sure And these two guys are standing next to each other and there's a bunch of them that are out there like this. And the one that comes to mind, the guy is like hey how you doing? Oh I'm good! You want to go? Yeah sure oh good luck to you and then they start fighting and then after their in the penalty box it's like oh I gotta work on my cardio man. It's like its their job its what they do

1:15:19 So I mean, I could be an enforcer in the WNBA pretty sure go for it. Go for it You need an agent you can get you'll be okay if you can get Adam and I the gigs, you know on the WNBA Yeah, you play the agent you get us to spot. I'll be your Jerry Maguire exactly show me no money Exactly. No not Cuba Jerry Okay a cuba was canceled too. You know who hasn't been cancelled really who hasn't been canceled? Oh Who doesn't understand yet that the cancelling is usually at the behest of a large money group? Yes, very rarely that it's actually a Grassroots movement. Yes Now we have any setup on this Caitlyn. Yeah It's just its its its Caitlyn Jenner talking to you know in the news to someone I don't know some talking head about

1:16:09 His her thoughts on the WNBA xx you're in Xy, you're out. It's not simple That's the catchphrase Let's remember that x let's get that tattooed on myself xx your head x y you're out That is called pure logic for any generation besides this current one You're right it is xx you're in X, Y you're out. It's that simple and I think are doing a good job just to show the WNBA how the hypocrisy that is going on here we have to protect women sports. I have been coming on this show for years and years. I want to protect women's sports right title nine was

1:16:51 One of the greatest legislations, and it was over 50 years ago for women's equality. It happened to be in sports but look at what it has done for women's sports I don't want that to be ruined by letting biological men come in and play on women's sports you know XX your in XY your out You can go play with the man Right Where is the trans league? That's fine That's fine. Do that, yeah." As long as everybody is on equal footing that's all that matters and it didn't occur to me at first and you were the first one to bring it up which was the fighters in boxing are all done by weight class and it's done for a reason that you don't have a lightweight fighting a heavyweight sure And that is within these same sex Yeah So when you go down this other which is why

1:17:46 As you've probably noticed, we brought the clip on the last show two shows ago where the guy from Outkick Sports offered $10 million. He was hoping that Elon would like triple that or something or bring it to 100 million because he wants to see the WNBA champions Go up against a high school basketball team. He is so sure remember we had the clip from the Journalist in Minneapolis like well, they're just treating this as a joke It's like no no that's real money madam person is and it's not a joke it is to prove That a high school team will most likely not just Beat the WNBA champions They will probably blow them out

1:18:40 Yeah. And if that's the case, I don't know how anybody with any bit of logic to them Would not be able to look at it and go. Oh, yeah now I get it This is why we don't let men play in women's sports or you know It's like you know The key word is logic You can't ask for that Darren just Tony don't even use the word bad Well, that's why I can't even imagine this would be the fun part Maybe they would only end up playing a game these you know Inez freedom and the other dude I forget his name who wanted in Yeah on the WNBA but just say these guys Or someone like them

1:19:18 Hell, probably even Michael Jordan at his age now were to go in and play one game for a WNBA team. It would be hard to believe that they wouldn't dominate the game. Okay, Jordan's lost the step he's getting older but these guys that are fresh out of the NBA or if you were to take a current NBA player I would expect that guy to score 80 points. He would make the world, well I think Will Chamberlain holds the record whatever it is he would make that look like nothing yeah no doubt because again its logic and we don't have logic there was another Victor Davis breakdown on this which im intrigued that he keeps covering this really yes

CHAPTER 14 / 25 Discussion

WNBA Culture, Race and Sexual Orientation Dynamics

Victor Davis Hanson's analysis of the WNBA suggests the league's established culture—which he describes as predominantly Black and gay—is hostile toward new stars like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. The hosts discuss how resentment toward "white heterosexual" players manifests in physical play and media coverage. They compare this to a "gospel of envy" where greatness is attacked if it doesn't fit a specific social group.

wnba· caitlin clark· sophie cunningham· dei· racism· culture war· victor davis hanson

1:20:05 Caitlin Clark single-handedly put the WNBA on the map. And that's what the problem is, because the WNBA was sort of a little unknown league that was 65% black people had suggested it was 35 to 40 percent gay and they sort of had their own little atmosphere, their own culture. And they weren't really being rewarded but they controlled the ownership The coaches, the referees, the players all were on this DEI left-wing page and suddenly the great benefactors

1:20:50 All of them happen to be white heterosexuals like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. Which is the problem, it's like somebody that doesn't fit into our group which it's the separation of groups It is a thread that has been going on for 50 years You get the rich, you get the poor against the rich. You get everybody against the cops. You get the black against the white. You get everybody and this was a very specific little group in the WNBA and all of a sudden they're like wait these two women that are now getting all of the attention well they're the minority They don't fit into what the rest of the league is even though

1:21:41 Showing them up with what they're doing on the court. They don't like that because like so many things now everything is Culture-based its race base is oh you wait, you're not a lesbian How dare you play in the WNBA and they didn't want that In other words, they were willing to commit violence against them and the league was either going to condone it or plead ignorance rather than all benefit. Well, name your major city here. Sure what's stunning though is that the coaches don't not only not disapprove of this behavior they advocate for it you know like the one who was running the fever right she's all pissed off and I mean you watch a lot more team sports than i do but its always been sort of believed that if guys or women on any given athletic team

1:22:45 adversaries Their performance is going to plummet really, you know I mean Think about that and these people these people are hating each other pissed off and so forth It's got to affect the level of play in most coaches would squelch that damn fast because that spreads very quickly right because the ideal would be a team where everybody sticks together. Yeah, of course the number one job of coaching or managing is to back your player no matter what even if you think they were wrong the thing you do in public in front of the cameras is you back your player and there was a lot of this in the Chicago Bulls even when Michael Jordan was here winning six different championships

1:23:37 you know, there was inner strife at times and that definitely took their teams down. And then you had when I used to watch baseball and I used to be a baseball addict, I am recovering baseball addict used to watch every White Sox game for the season which is 162 games plus there's spring training plus there's postseason It took a lot of time. Really? And the 2005 White Sox, I'm glad because my one of my favorite players Ozzie Guillen came to manage in 2004 very fun guy says things people don't like he also got canceled

1:24:14 while managing the Miami team. But 2005, I was glad I was fully into baseball saw the White Sox win their only championship and the point is there was not one superstar on that team but you had a whole team of people that had each other's backs and they won the World Series. There you are yeah it works And there was one subtext that no one talks about, but it's right there staring us in the face. That Caitlin Clark is probably the best player and that's not supposed to happen in a predominantly gay black female league doesn't mean that other players are not nearly as good But we haven't seen anybody like her and women's national basketball and in the case of

1:24:59 Sophie Cunningham, she's tall. She's beautiful. She's blonde. She's white and people resent that as well You put those two figures together They create all this controversy and hostility And they remind America that something is definitely wrong with this league Something it encourages racism It encourages sexual prejudice it encourages violence and nobody wants to touch it And if it continues, maybe they'll lose Sophie Cunningham and they would lose Caitlin Clark and if they lost both of them, they would go back to their preferred obscurity and poverty Which it seems like a very weird thing to want. I mean one It's really scary that it's a little social You know chasm of what's going on there which is what's going on everywhere? Which is let's spread the hate Let's spread all of these bad things but the concept that they would rather

1:26:03 Not in the spotlight not having huge amounts of fans not having a huge bunch of money coming in Because we're just having fun, and we only want to do it with people. We like It's a very weird concept I've only run into this when working for a country artist back in the day running the whole website fan club thing and there were people that would say things like oh I'll be glad when she's not so popular And we can see her on a small venue again, and it's like What? I get the concept, but you realize that that is just meaning your favorite artist is now going to be a nobody and not making any money and not really having a successful career. But OK.

1:26:45 Okay, it's easier for you. I guess to get to see him in a smaller venue But but I think there's leftist underpinnings to that behavior You know pretty much they just look all they can say now is destroy the billionaires and especially that trillionaire right? That one guy the bad guy, you know It's the gospel of envy as Churchill called it and they just don't they don't like to see people really Achieve greatness in any way, you know we all remember what's one of their favorite phrases We are one. We are one we are one yes Okay I keep pointing out if everybody is the same You're not gonna be Jay-z and Beyonce say you're not gonna be Taylor and Travis You're not gonna be rock Hudson and Doris Day. No there's a callback

1:27:33 You're gonna be the people that are flipping the burgers. You're going to be the guy sweeping up after the horse as he walks in the parade at Disneyland, you're not gonna be... No they're gonna be the people sitting home collecting government checks just because they deserve it They won't be big! The check's not- No they won't! They have to steal soap Larry! So true They'll have to go to Mamdani's grocery store and buy expired fruit and then they're gonna have to steal soap Yeah, you know the beautiful thing about the United States is you're going to fail. You're probably going to fail but you get to try again Yes Nobody knows if your first act is gonna work for some people it does for some people It takes a little while longer and if he put in the hard work eventually You'll probably hit on something hopefully yeah

CHAPTER 15 / 25 Discussion

USS Abraham Lincoln, Navy Morale and Deployment Length

Reports from MSNOW highlight low morale and mental health struggles aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been at sea for over 260 days without a port call. Families of sailors reported shortages of food and hygiene products like soap and toothpaste. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied these reports, while the hosts question the validity of the "food shortage" claims, suggesting the media is using the story to attack the administration's military actions.

uss abraham lincoln· navy· iran· mental health· pete hegseth· aircraft carrier· deployment

1:28:27 Now we've got the USS Lincoln, we've got the Gloves story. There's I mean it's... It's all good stuff man pick one Endless buffet Yeah We've got the USS Lincoln which again is going to show you more about how the media treats things more than actually having a story. We've got, of course MS now they're going to be on top of it right? Good good good." My colleague Lindsay Papia and I spoke exclusively to the wife of the sailor who jumped off the USS Lincoln and was medically evacuated from the ship The Lincolns been deployed for 265 days and hit a modern-day record for most continuous days at sea without a port call. Of course we got the music that has to be very dramatic

1:29:15 I don't even know if that was music. It was awful, really sounded like a modem tone just really slow down something and if you don't know what a modem tone is listen to the last show and you will find out plenty of them there but we spoke exclusively in all of these stories are coming through family members which means you're not getting any first-hand accounts and they're making it sound like these ships are out there for completely ungodly lengths of time. Are they a little longer than normal with the Lincoln right now? Yes, but it's not exactly going on years or anything you're talking maybe a month or two extended over what in every

1:30:04 I don't know if most people understand this Larry, it takes a little bit of money to move an aircraft carrier from the United States to the Iran off the Straits of Hormuz. It's a little bit of an expense." So what is the point of MSNOW running this story? Because so is it Trump bad? Trump bad okay Family members are concerned about potential exhaustion, low morale and the mental health of those on board. We know MS now very unlikely that they're going to care about the well-being of the military Yeah

1:30:40 The wife of the sailor who jumped said her husband was struggling with his mental health and repeatedly expressed his concerns to his higher-ups, but was quote unquote brushed off. The Navy says they can't comment on the medical records of individual service members to protect patient privacy In the last message she received from him before he went overboard He said in part I think the boat is finally getting to me It's really getting me I don't think I can do another deployment after this and I don't even know if I can finish this deployment The woman told me her husband jumped off the ship last Monday, but she didn't hear anything from the Navy for four days. Not until Friday despite her attempts to reach out

1:31:19 out. She also said he raised concerns about his prescription contact lenses having expired saying he was getting yelled at for accidents on the flight deck that he said happened because he couldn't see properly, she says despite that he was still allowed to work. She told me quote I think thought also had a big toll on him because you could have injured a lot of people and he could have injured himself because that's what they kept yelling at him every time he made a mistake it So basically everything's wrong. They're doing everything wrong I mean, can you can you buy that imagine this so this guy is he's on the flight deck of a carrier and I would assume in some ways responsible for the safe takeoff and landings of Of the aircraft right correct son That's what they're saying anyway What skipper on earth even in the you know that the Navy of Zimbabwe?

1:32:06 Would say, you're not seeing so good. Do it anyway we'll take our chances with you I mean that's ludicrous There has got to be more to this story A lot more to the story than what were getting Well yeah because if you know your contacts are expiring Believe it or no they do bring mail and stuff To these people You could have had more contacts delivered Absolutely Just because they don't sail into a port They still get supply ships visit And they can move stuff from ship to ship Like you wouldn't believe And that's the beauty of these types of reports. Well, we spoke to the family and here is what they're reporting and of course there is nobody here to push back on any of this. Again, the amount of money that it would cost if there was an accident with a plane going onto the carrier would end up... The toll of lives would be just unbelievably harsh

1:33:02 So yeah, I don't believe for a minute or somebody's like hey skipper. I can't see like no no problem go out there Don't buy it for one minute and of course we don't have any Comment in the hole oh, no they didn't hear from four days They're in a war zone Okay You may not get notified immediately I hope these people understand that you are not gonna get immediate notification It's a weird thing. I don't know how much communication we can get boots on the ground from somebody probably for this. How much communication if you're on a mission like this? Can you email daily, can you text me what is available?" I mean i would assume with Elon's magical satellites you could probably communicate

1:33:52 Families of the 5,000 sailors and Marines facing horrific conditions on an aircraft carrier that's deployed to the war in Iran confronted the acting Secretary of Navy at a fiery town hall last week. That's according two sources who attended the meeting who I spoke with Two unnamed sources, of course. Of course! Of course they're unnamed. They were there... I first reported about the conditions on the USS Lincoln last week after speaking to about a dozen of the family members of the Marines and sailors onboard. They told me about things like non-operational toilets, moldy showers and the ship's store lacking basic hygiene products like toothpaste soap and deodorant. The Lincolns deployment appears to be extended for a second time and they just hit a modern day record in the Navy for the most continuous days at sea topping 200 days

1:34:51 Many of the family members who spoke up at the meeting were crying about the lack of hygiene products on board. And they say that they're all right for things you can be upset about what we'll see, that ship needs to dock in New York so they can steal this soap from CVS is an easy answer. Come on. I don't believe for one minute a military family is crying because mommy or daddy can't get a tube of toothpaste. Yeah. Also really worried about the fact that these long hours with very little breaks could lead to exhaustion which could potentially lead to accidents. Which again, the military is well aware of and if there are accidents it is a multi-million dollar accident on an aircraft carrier Sure So usually they have a pretty well oiled machine if you will

1:35:47 Scheduling and people have off time now. I understand maybe some people have insomnia Some people are tired It's been a long I get it, but this is not the first time a ship has been sent out for over 200 days I'm sure it isn't At times the family members were crying in the meeting saying that they were really worried about the fact that their loved ones were facing food shortages and also shortages in basic supplies. Wouldn't you have led with maybe there's food shortage, but maybe there were food shortages? We're not saying there is food shortages! We're saying there's possible food shortages Larry Yeah... We're not saying there are but we're saying it's possible yeah well anything's possible

1:36:31 At one point a woman actually said that she found it difficult to be proud of her husband's service because he had actually been questioning the mission after he had seen several news reports about innocent civilians being killed in Iran. There you go, there we go! You know what? The innocent civilians killed in Iran were they're the people that were standing up that the government killed. The reason you're there is try to get those people out Yeah You know, I would say to these people they should... if they weren't around there's probably some books and diaries whatever of the families of veterans from World War II whose dads and uncles and brothers were let's say like on the Bataan Death March.

1:37:19 They didn't have cell phones. Maybe they got a letter every two months if they were lucky, they had no idea what was going on with those guys and that's horrible but that is kind of what war is about and whatever these guy are enduring on the aircraft carrier it literally a boat ride compared to what those guy went through in ground wars 60 years ago. War is not a vacation! No And obviously they think it should be like, oh no. They're not getting their massages twice a day. Like well this is what they signed up for the job sucks I get it that's why you appreciate the people that serve of course an easy thing to do It's not like Oh! You're gonna be on an aircraft carrier for six months or however long it is No that's going to be fun No its NOT

1:38:09 And in point of fact, if you look on YouTube there are multiple carnival cruises that are worse than that carrier. I've seen a few of those! That's a stone fact. It's the reason i've never been on a cruise...I've seen some videos and they're like- Oh, I watched the documentary awhile ago man, I couldn't stop laughing it was called The Poop Cruise What's the lake of fright? There's a big floating ebola chain, I don't know No no no this thing for some reason forget what the hell happened but it lost all power and of course I think it was carnival. And so for like six days, it was just adrift in the Gulf of America

1:38:46 And what happened when the power went out, well then you know the toilets don't flush on ships. Right! No flushing. And the water doesn't flow and I think on two or three decks there was like four inches of sewage water with feces and pee-pee it was just beyond belief. You know what? I guarantee you that cruise is much worse than that carrier's enduring in the Mideast right now You know that was you just retelling something and not a clip but Chris Wilson sent this in and it fits. Whoa, did somebody smack a puppy? I'm gonna get pissed if that's what the- What was that? I don't know. I don't know what was the uh...I think there was a gunshot at the end there. Ew! What makes that kind of noise in Ozzy's world? I'm not sure. We're getting a little bit left here and then we got Peg Sif responding

1:39:47 Her comment was met with applause from the audience. Now, Navy leaders said that they're planning on sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt another aircraft carrier in the region to relieve the Lincoln but they couldn't give a definitive timeline about when that would happen or when the Lincoln would come home but they did say that they're committed to improving the conditions on the Lincoln while they continue to fight in this war that has no clear end in sight Oh, there you go. No clear-ended sight of the war! It's a forever war... remember that? I pointed it out on the last episode and i know it doesn't mean anything to some people but there have been 18 service members who have given their life because they care enough to fight for freedom around the world in the same time period 180 people

CHAPTER 16 / 25 Discussion

Trump's War with Iran, Strait of Hormuz Sovereignty

The media has begun labeling the conflict in the Middle East as "Trump's war with Iran." Trump joked about declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory to ensure control over the waterway. The hosts contrast the media's acceptance of "Putin's price hike" for gas during the Ukraine war with their criticism of potential price increases under Trump's Iran policy.

donald trump· iran· strait of hormuz· oil prices· vladimir putin· ukraine· zelenskyy

1:40:37 murdered in the city of Chicago. So when people try to tell you that the cost is too high, I just want you to have the receipts as the kids say Good point. This is from CBS KRCG's exit reaction and a goal facing major questions tonight about reports of American sailors jumping overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has now been deployed in the Middle East for 266 days it's about nine months nine months deployed 250 of those days not even with a land stop This is because they are in the middle of Trump's war with Iran. Trump's war with Iran, not our war! Not the United States' war. It's Trump's war with Iran! And that war is taking a toll on sailors aboard who've complained about not having enough food They've literally gone hungry and we've heard these complaints The lack of basic necessities

1:41:33 We haven't heard these complaints actually, madam. What we've heard is family members allegedly recounting stories that they got firsthand. We have not as far as I can tell and I looked there are no clips of service men from or service women from the Lincoln giving a first hand account Yeah. These that includes toothpaste, deodorant soap and again who wrote this list? That's always about toothpaste, deodorants so yeah interesting and all of those things add up with an incredibly long deployment that keeps getting extended to dangerously low morale there are 5 000 American sailors on board but tonight the defense secretary Pete Hegseth is denying the reports saying they're simply untrue

1:42:19 Listen to what he told Newsmax when questioned about the reporting while traveling in Panama. Completely misrepresented, listen we make sure that every ship every crew every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment some deployments are longer than others and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody This again is all just about making the average person listening be against what's going on. And there are people on both sides, I mean that was one of the places people always like Darren and Larry they agree too much where you were like hey no I don't think we should be there! No Trump said no new wars and i'm the guy that's like well words mean things and it's really... Is it a war? No it's a military action. I was that guy

1:43:10 You were that guy, but I still think nothing's gonna really change when they pack up and leave. No because there are only two ways for there to be real change. Nuking is one. Right well blowing pretty much everything in the country away whether it's nuked or not yes. They don't want to do that no. Or getting rid of the current regime if you don't do one of those Then yeah, you're going to be right back more or less where you started. According to Donald he's already gotten rid of two or three regimes so it seems like there is always a backup regime those guys are prepared They do keep recycling Yes There is no question about it You can never tell the latest regime from the previous one they all look the same It's very strange isn't it? Yeah but who owns the Strait of Hormuz now right Who does And after we finish

1:44:06 Defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated. Pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormoz straight a territory of the United States And again he's laughing while he says it! But what i want him to do desperately and i really mean this Darren...I want him to call that thing The Straight Of America Put it on the maps. Yes, that's all it really matters put it down. That's all what matters yes It's called naming rights Yes, not wrong Essentially this way we have the blockade and again he then says essentially So not only did he laugh through it to make it clear that it was a joke

1:44:57 And then he's like, well that's just essentially what it is because we're controlling it. And people are all going nuts like oh no! He's gonna die! No why don't you people pay attention? That's too difficult true unless we want them to but uh and how about Venezuela? Venezuela was a one-day war and now we work great with them we've taken in millions and millions of barrels of oil Which is true, and then of course it's the cost of gas. We don't want to have them have a nuclear weapon. So remember that when you have to pay a little bit more, your $4 it's okay I mean it's...I'm not..I'll never apologize as they did the right thing but you could you know if you didn't have You'd be at...I had down below two dollars in many states But California can include because they keep taxing, taxing, taxing Yeah California keeps blowing up no matter what

1:46:10 Yes. And for the lefties that are all like, oh no we're paying too much for gasoline now! Well let me remind you during Joe Biden here's an MSNBC back when it was still MSNBC Andrea Mitchell It's a political one but I really do think and talking to members of Congress that they now see the politics right now and it may not last that the American people are behind this and more likely are willing to take a hit at the pump. I don't think it's been sold adequately. If it means not bringing war here, right? Like that's another way to message us, I might argue. Yeah and Putin's price hike is a great way to message it So they were fine the Democrats were fine including their talking heads because of the war

1:47:02 Ukraine. And it was Putin's price hike, not Joey's. Never forget that! So why is this the Trump price hike and not the Mueller? Who knows?! I just don't remember how much oil we get from Ukraine or Russia...I don't think any but somehow is Putin's price hike. I couldn't make sense of that Darren what's wrong with me? But it shows you exactly the insanity Because they're gonna it all is political. It's not about giving you the facts who why what where and well, who why? What when how whatever they are just given to you the politics They don't care and this was okay that little blurb in there Well, they're willing to pay more at the pump To keep the war over There you know in Ukraine but yes What about in Iran wouldn't even want to keep the war out of your

1:47:55 You know, out of your own little area? I would think that would be the case but no. Yeah but you know everybody loves Zelensky especially Ben Stiller so they- thats who matters Do you remember there was a video of Ben meeting Zelensky It was hysterical. Zelensky's standing in the middle of this pretty large room and they let Ben through a door on the side like, uh, like a hamster coming out of a cage and as he walks across the room to greet Zelensky He's got his both hands in front him in the prayer position I don't remember that. Maybe it was bizarre. It's like what is this? You know the bowels and scrapes he didn't kiss his hand, but I was expecting him to do that There were a lot of bizarre things Yeah including here We've got a boots on the ground But this is wait before you get two boots in the ground there's one more Iran thing I'd love to walk through real quick sure before we leave Iran

CHAPTER 17 / 25 Discussion

Kalthum Akbari, Iran's Black Widow Serial Killer

Kalthum Akbari, a 56-year-old Iranian woman dubbed the "Black Widow," was sentenced to death for the murder of at least 10 of her ex-husbands. Akbari confessed to poisoning her victims—many of whom were elderly—to collect gold, cash, and dowries. The hosts discuss her method of lacing drinks with medication and compare it to similar domestic murder cases involving antifreeze.

kalthum akbari· iran· black widow· serial killer· antifreeze· dowry· murder

1:48:51 And this just made me laugh, and maybe Trump should know about this. The headline was, dig it, Iran's black widow faces multiple death sentences after gruesomely killing at least 10 of her ex-husbands. Oh she has got to be a very attractive woman then? You wouldn't believe it! Wow! Really?! Frightening Oh my god, she's so scary looking. Why 10 guys? How did she catch 10 dudes?! Well I think they don't give all the details but i think...I think she's like 50- She's 56 her name is Kalthum Akbari. 56 confessed to much of the horrific body count that Manzandaran Province Public Relations Office told Iranian state media last Sunday They mentioned one of her victims, the latest one He was 82 So guy was probably not seeing very well

1:49:42 But I mean still that's a hell of a run and she's a weapon over in her own right really? I mean, that's quite a quite a stack of bodies. She's she's knocked over and If she they said the motive was greed and that she collected gold cash and other dowry wealth From her victims okay, and what was their method well What a golden the same Well, what she did was something I you know my one of my guilty pleasures with my wife used to be watching like 48 hours and all these these murder mystery things and so many times these women would kill their husbands by feeding them Breakfast drinks like orange juice or jello shots that were laced with antifreeze right?

1:50:27 And it would take a long time for these guys to die. They'd be sick so long, what's wrong with nobody could figure it out and one day they woke up dead? And that's pretty much what she was doing She said that her last victim was in 2023 his name was I'm gonna try to pronounce this name I think is pronounced He had come that's it he had complained to family members that akbari had been forcing him to take medications And died shortly thereafter so there, so you know if trump wants to get the next regime knocked off Maybe she turned her loose on them. Also somebody's forcing you to take medications run run

CHAPTER 18 / 25 Discussion

Remote Air Traffic Control, AI Implementation in Aviation

Nav Canada is implementing remote air traffic control systems, moving controllers from local towers to centralized digital hubs in cities like Kingston. While officials claim AI will help the system "learn" and improve safety, unions and travelers express concern over the loss of the "human factor" and potential technical failures. The hosts warn that consolidating these services creates a single point of failure if communication lines are severed.

nav canada· air traffic control· ai· ottawa airport· norway· automation· aviation safety

1:51:09 And it's not a good idea. My favorite one of the stories that was not too long ago, it was an Asian couple where allegedly the husband then told the wife because they were having a problem with some kind of credit. It may have been ants like, Oh well mix this in a coffee mug or whatever and then had her on video doing that and then claim that she was poisoning him to try to put her in jail over The whole bit and the wife's like no he told me to put the poison into the mug at which point who do you believe? Yes, could be either way could just be somebody smart enough. That's like well Okay I was putting poison into his coffee mug oh well Oh, he told me to do it cuz we had ants You don't want ants you do not want ants And uh just a quick AI story before we have a boots on the ground because this

1:52:04 If you fly, this is terrifying what's going on in Canada. From the outside it's pretty clear this is not the air traffic control tower you're used to because controllers are elsewhere maybe even in another city but you can start seeing movement so it helps our air traffic controllers and our traffic services staff be able to pick out the things that are relevant to them. Nav Canada says this is the future, remote air traffic control with new high-tech features It's the same level of service that we end up providing essentially all were doing is taking a visual view as someone looking out a window

1:52:40 replacing that with a digital view onto screens. Super exciting time, obviously. Ottawa's Kongsberg Geospatial designed the system and says it will provide access to services in remote community just as it has in the home of its parent company Norway. As we're seeing the development uh, and implementation of AI into more and more technology. This is another great example where the system can continue to learn, you know, what am I looking at? What are the aircrafts? What are the weather conditions? What could go wrong Larry it's we're going to take the tower from your local airport and we're going to consolidate it and put it elsewhere now. I understand putting some of these tools into effect

1:53:27 But moving people to a remote location means really bad things can happen. I understand the staffing issue, and we've got people that are responding to this." Travelers at the Ottawa airport aren't so sure. Don't like it? I would rather have people looking out of windows! The more you put stuff like this in, the more it screws up. You need the human factor regardless. Hamilton airport with 300,000 travelers a year will be the first fully remote location and those air traffic controllers have been asked to move to Kingston The union is concerned they might leave the field instead. Land attrition is only I say quote unquote only you know 10 or 20 percent

1:54:16 We can't afford to lose a single air traffic controller right now in Canada. NavCanada says this change could be part of the solution when fully operational up to 15 airports could be remotely monitored from Kingston It provides more flexibility in our staffing in the long run. NavCanada says that it won't be moving to Hamilton until a year of shadow testing in Kingston shows no possible issues and until all regulatory hurdles are cleared with With the stakes for all involved so high, whether this comes to an airport near you remains up in the air. I see what you did there! Up in the air? Now that's shadow testing does that include airliners with real people on board well of course because what this would be is you're going to have the remote unit monitoring and doing their job

1:55:09 Not actually communicating with the airplanes, but having this be a simulation kind of but one I don't think a year is a long enough time to understand everything that can possibly go wrong Mm-hmm. With that said I don't know if anybody's still just literally looking out a window these are usually all on instrumentation Which I understand you can go remotely it kind of reminds me like What MLB did when they started going to New York for certain plays like oh no we need to We need to do a video replay. Let's get New York on the phone This is interesting because I saw a story earlier today that the biggest siphon

1:55:57 of current air traffic controllers are video game developers. They like the way these guys operate and they're the ones that are taking them off of the flight towers, which is kind of kooky so there you go to tie in it is a very at one it's a very stressful job there's no God yeah yeah oh yeah question about it the more I've been watching a few different channels that show The problems that have been going on in major airports around the country and around the world, and it's amazing what some of these controllers can do. And pilots! It's amazing when they totally are able to keep their cool even though they know the situation that they're in is not very good with that said you want to keep a human being

1:56:54 If the lines get cut between the airport that's being serviced and the remote location, again I understand adding a bunch of new equipment to a local but like the tower that's there. But when you try to take everything and move it remote, if that line somehow gets cut, you're going to have big problems Sure, but of course what they're gonna want is just pure AI that'll be the next now. Yeah How how will run all it'll just sound like watching the AI allegedly who's going to fall asleep just like humans that are in the car once these people that get their Teslas or the self-driving cars and they're just going along and they're like oh wow it's been uh i tried this for two weeks and it didn't hit anybody so now I'm just gonna relax. And why not? That's when it drives you right off the bridge into the Gulf of America baby! Or the Strait of America yes we have a boots on the ground from Sir Darius Unity, knight of the Sand Hill People

CHAPTER 19 / 25 Discussion

Data Center Construction, Security and AI Infrastructure

A "boots on the ground" report from Sir Darius Unity describes the high-security environment of modern data center construction. Workers are often required to surrender phones to prevent unauthorized photos of the sensitive infrastructure. The report details the 24/7 operations, armed security, and the massive financial losses incurred during even a minute of downtime. The hosts discuss whether the current investment in data centers for AI is a bubble.

data centers· sir darius unity· union electricians· security· ai· infrastructure· local 26

1:57:55 He says in the morning, thank you for your courage. Long live Mr Bud's kill as well as his legacy amen to that and he said the best podcast in the universe and they put no agenda in parentheses Thank You sir Darius unity discuss data centers on Thursdays episode And I remembered my pops and I did some work on them back in the day is Union electricians We were in the national capital region with local 26 and I was an apprentice primarily on the fire alarm crew I worked with fellow apprentices in Charlotte, North Carolina as an unofficial member of the local 379 as well. This very spring that just passed together even more treasure slash Intel for Gitmo nation first would I recall from my recent experience? The data centers are very mums the word as of late

1:58:45 Construction workers must, if I recall turn in their phones at the beginning of the workday or to prevent unauthorized pictures or info from being made public. Or more plausibly maybe it was that they couldn't use their phones while on the job site yet. They're very sensitive about that stuff getting out he says if they do they risk getting an immediate pinky slash pink slip now for what my pops and I foreman told me from his experience in august or so of 2023 the data centers run 24 7 that they do They have beefed up slash armed security and they lose out on at least a million bucks per minute for each and every minute that they have shut down operations, especially if it's due to emergency repairs. And that I think that's a little high but the numbers that i've seen put it as possibly 20 000 plus per second or per minute which adds up

1:59:44 Fairly quickly if you're out for an hour, I mean our power was out here for over 24 hours So, you know if you're losing 20 thousand plus per minute that is no Joke. No he says we dealt extensively with long heavy and thickly Protected cables in wiring. Oh yeah, you have to have shielding on that especially when the all-hands call went out randomly or We were often somewhat confused regarding exactly what our general contactors clients needed or wanted from us, be it in the specs for material that we were installing or in the necessary tasks in general. Which is also interesting when you're like well why are we doing this?

2:00:29 Hmm, you have to wonder exactly what's going on. He said lastly We had to install smoke detectors approximately every six feet And if memory serves they had to be drilled into the columns of the structure holding up the raised flooring Yeah these things are built so there's a lot of wires going around oh They're very creepy looking things and I can guarantee that as we speak there are probably half a dozen studios with scripts on their desk with titles like Data Center Doom. You know, there's definitely I mean it's just rife with terror these things and somebody is going to make a buck off that or they're gonna lose a buck. There's a lot of... Well that too yeah Probably get to this more on the next show as far as the amount of money A lot of people think is turning into a bubble a lot of people don't think any of

2:01:22 Billions or trillions of dollars that are being raised for these data centers are actually going to pay off. And right now, I would say about that is a way to play that and short certain companies. We all know that there are memory shortages it's amazing that memory that was worth like nothing two or three years ago all of a sudden people want it because it still memory yeah And the chip manufacturers can't keep up. But as we've talked about here, the reality is as this AI stuff continues more and more will be brought into the home it will be brought into small businesses you can run some very capable models on hardware that cost

2:02:16 you know, in the $10,000 range which for an average person they're not going to pay that to play chat GPT and ask it questions. No but for any company even small businesses sure that is a small bill to pay rather than paying 50 or 100 bucks a month for your AI in the cloud and risking your corporate data And these things are already to the point to where they're getting into your own location. So these data centers, what are they going to be used for? As we talked about with Adam on the last show, it probably would be a lot of pickleball courts or something. The boots on the ground continues apologies for wasting so much time and getting this to y'all dovetailed with the following my deep sincere regrets and remorse that I haven't been in associate executive producer in well over a year

2:03:12 It breaks my heart the Manhattan's he quotes in a similar manner. My heart was shattered at the passing of the late great mr John C Dvorak And he says, if y'all would be ever so kind as to mention read at least some of this. It was good information my friend is live to tape episode no agenda I'd be deeply grateful thankful appreciative No thank you He says love You mean it little girl yay and love is lit God bless Noah gender nation always and forever god keep us all too stay blessed free and dangerous well that's the only way we know how to do it indeed And we love our boots on the ground. I put out a thing on X, I'm like you want to be a podcast or everybody's like hey are you giving up Larry spot? Like no! We're looking for people that can do boots on the ground because while i love boots on the ground as the one-eyed podcaster

2:04:01 Reading is sometimes a bigger pain in the behind than not. And we would just like to hear your voice for people that have the ability to record audio, I'm trying to get a list of no agenda producers with what your expertise lies in like here we just had our AI dude. So when the next AI story comes I can reach out and be like hey this is the story what's your take on it? Be of the perfect reporter, like hey what do you make of this

2:04:37 And we can get the boots on the ground from people in a way where people can hear your lovely voices rather than listening to the overly radio voices of Larry and Derry all day. Is that what they say about us? Oh dear, no... They sound too good! Saw a letter that came in that Adam Ford or that you kind of sound like it like a beatnik poet which yeah I like the aunt. That's kind of cool You're gonna have nothing going on hmm Let's get the glove story, and I think that was one that's a glove story the gloves baby Yeah The gloves are interesting and they're dividing people and of course that means they're dividing the media this is

CHAPTER 20 / 25 Discussion

GLOVE Compliance Devices, ICE Enforcement and Sanctuary Policies

The Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter (GLOVE) is a new tool being used by law enforcement, including ICE, to gain compliance through low-voltage shocks. While critics in the media characterize them as dangerous, proponents argue they are a less-lethal alternative to tasers. Tom Homan defended ICE's record-breaking arrest numbers and criticized Governor Gavin Newsom's sanctuary policies for obstructing public safety and federal law enforcement.

glove· ice· tom homan· gavin newsom· de-escalation· sanctuary cities· compliance

2:05:22 Something that's been around for a while, which I think most of the stories are missing out on. They've been using these in jails there basically gloves with batteries that produce a shock much less than a taser would. Yes this is from a Kentucky jail employee showing off the gloves which i think is a good primer Basically, you put it on just like any glove. Right now they're off I can touch it. They strap on and basically you got a power button that you hit, it lights up and then its active at that point in time so I can touch anywhere on my body if I was to grab hold of my hand which I'm not going do. I've already experienced it. I don't want to put myself through it. It doesn't feel the best

2:06:13 Yeah, you don't want to shock yourself. I bet some will there's gonna be glove fetish freaks that'll be buying taking these right off the shelves fast as they can no doubt and the interesting thing was is he just pointed out it needs to make contact with skin which means their people can just whether they could just go head-to-toe in like lycra or whatever that material is yeah That would probably then insulate you from this because it's such an all horrible dangerous weapon It doesn't incapacitate you, but it I've been exposed to this probably 10 to 15 times myself and it's.

2:06:52 I guess the best way to describe it, i mean It basically takes all your focus off everything that's going to where you're getting grabbed at and as soon as you let go its gone. There is no marks left or anything like that and lets you get control of the person To where you can get them in a safer location And actually try to gain compliance We've had the compliance gloves now for over... That is a great word we love compliance gloves Its always about compliance Always yeah before you okay, that's probably a good art idea compliance gloves make them snappy. That was yours and basically It has been Probably one of the probably one of the best tools we added one thing about like and I'll even show you one thing about the gloves themselves

2:07:42 Is that they have a button on them and again there's it doesn't incapacitate a person like a taser I'm sure several people have seen taser videos where you hit somebody and they fall on the ground And stuff like that. Yeah, yeah get stiff this has no incapacitation with it. I wonder...I didn't do enough research here if none of nobody is telling exactly what the charge is No That you're getting so it's enough to make you Stop resisting allegedly allegedly Allegedly I have my doubts about this. I really do well Yeah, the guys on like bath salts or something we've seen enough videos where tasers didn't work Didn't work sure and then when I saw this thing first mentioned online it was in reference to apparently allegedly Ice right has bought many hundreds of thousands of pairs of these things that could be using switch You know any day now Somebody from MSNOW will be reporting that these are in fact a wearable firing squad you know

2:08:44 you know that's how they're going to characterize this stuff. CNN is already doing it oh there you go okay and again the reality is this is less than a taser, that much is clear so yeah less lethal than what they already have so this is trying to appease a greater majority of the population by having a way to do the job without doing massive damage. And but still it's going to be Trump bad, Trump bad, Trump at ice is evil gloves in theory and GLOV is for generated low output voltage emitter so its glove I know whoever comes up with the acronyms I got really have to give them credit on that one that was pretty good you know

2:09:36 Gloves generically are our tool so like you know, you put them on there sort of an on off switch. So your so if you touch someone they may not feel it when you turn it on they're going to get a voltage that's described as sort of intense be sting they're not supposed to do it for longer than 15 seconds So, this may be helpful and I will say that the devices have mostly been used at least from the public record. The company is not speaking now at least from the public record in confined situations a jail that may make sense because there's really no freedom of movement

2:10:11 There's no freedom at all in jails madam, but very little well You know that these things are going to find their way very quickly into schools and subway stations and crowded buses It's gonna be it's good. Yeah Right for law enforcement okay now for other people you're going to be committing battery if you do this yeah This is Juliette KM the CNN analyst Go forward to ice and where we are now. This is this is Asking for intense trouble for the American public intense trouble for a public Ice is not known for de-escalation Oh, but wait what this isn't indeed? Okay ice is not known Yes for de escalization she says mm-hmm But this is a tool

2:11:04 that is way below the threshold of what they've had before, which would show that in good faith anybody again if you had logic would understand that this is a step towards deescalization because this is like a bee sting rather than you getting hit with the electric shock coming off a capacitor on your TV. No, if they were serious about this Darren they would issue every squad of ice guys pocket watches with chains and a competent hypnotist. And that's how to make people compliant, just sit them down swing that watch they'll do what you say. I don't know if that would work the... You're getting sleepy! Some audio too yeah now you got it you're on board very sleepy That's what i'm talking about Stop rushing me with that gun no NO! Right? That's exactly the problem oh but these gloves are bad

2:12:07 The rules of engagement for ICE are not understood. Rules of engagement for ICE? And more. 200, 2000 arrests a day? Yeah. Oh, a day 2000 arrests a day that's too many. Let's not talk about the fact that how many million people came in under Joey because he said, Hey, come on in let's now talk about how crime rates actually seem to have gone down and some major cities which I cannot prove it. You can't not prove it. Nobody can prove it yet but it seems as possible that violent gang members that are being sent back to their mother country

2:12:54 Maybe is one of the reasons why it's safer to walk around some places in the United States now could be You are now have sort of issued ice To sort of go around touch people and zap them and say that they're not compliant. We know I Always say they weren't compliant madam, but before they could shoot them or kill them or do something like that Now they're gonna get a little owie I mean, this is just insanity. The fact that the reality of this system is you're not doing any damage to somebody because of this glove. Yeah, I'm going to be direct here. We know ice lies. Oh, I'm gonna be direct here. Ah we know Ice lies. So I bet you was very direct man. So direct Of course, I slide This is again Okay give us the list of where ice which is a not a person of course

2:13:51 Where has Ice lied? Where has Ice touched you on the doll. That's it They've been shown to lie, they have! They have! That CNN, they have! Wooo It could be a real danger for the American public. They have been shown to lie in court, and so judges have made that very plain and clear. I do want to ask you about—because we've talked about this before but with this extra tool when you consider the idea that there is a quota Most departments have gotten rid of these, right? I mean this was a whole big thing with law enforcement many many decades ago. And now that it's back for ICE and ICE only generally speaking

2:14:34 What does this do to law enforcement agents when they have this thing sitting over their head that, oh we need to get $2,000 per day? Yeah it's a... Wait a minute. She saying that these gloves go back for decades is that correct? No she's just talking about quotas in the law enforcement and I mean the reality is the only reason the quota of around 2,000 a day is there is because they started with so many millions of people that they had to get rid of. And this is nothing different than having a job you work at a factory, and you need to get X amount out well, do put a number on it? You're saying well here's our goal here's what we're trying to do there's no like Well if we don't get this amount of people something happens It just hey This right now is the level We want to be yet but it doesn't mean they're rounding up People that Don't deserve it

2:15:30 They're like, oh no they're not criminals. Oh you mean are they here illegally? Well then technically criminal. Homan did respond to the glove kerfuffle if you will. Let's hear what Tom said. And look Ian there is no reason for it I mean in bottom line as your right it just politics sanctuary jurisdiction and over a decade I can't think of the hundreds of cases like this has happened It just one case after another we'll talk about this today and tomorrow Then we'll move on. The next week there will be another one some other place in our sanctuary state and what really upset me the response from the governor's office was that well ICE has billions of dollars they should be doing their job We did our job, we located this person in their facility, we did an investigation found out he is illegally United States, she has a criminal history He is deportable so we issued a detainer asking them

2:16:25 to notify us before they release them. Now, I don't care about sanctuary policies or all this stuff we can't honor detainees if we don't think they're legal there's nothing illegal there is nothing against the sanctuary law in California for a deputy just pick up the phone and say that hey this guy is being released in an hour you don't have to hold him one minute longer than you would normally hold him just call us before we release him it's common sense so this person's dead because Governor Newsom and the state of California puts politics, hatred over President Trump over public safety. So look at what California has done to hurt you guys, to curb ICE enforcement. They make ICE agents easier to sue. They're banning costs from moonlighting for ice, restricting ICE courthouse arrests, taxing immigrants' detention profits, banning masks for federal agents. They are doing everything possible to make your job harder. Now think about if you are the family of that 68-year old or that 68 year old? How do you feel today?

2:17:23 Shake to your stomach that your government lets you down. The state government let's you down look at they put a lot of roadblocks up They try to make our job more difficult with the bottom line is of June this year, ICE made more arrests than any time in the history of ICE. A historic month in June! What did we do the next month in July? We blew June out of the water and got another historic record. We're going to keep doing our job you can make it more difficult You can impede, you can interfere but your not gonna stop President Trump from keeping his promise to American people Ian I think he's right there Yeah let's hope so Your not gonna keep Donald Trump from doing what he wants to whether ya like him

The hosts explain the "value for value" model and thank the producers for their support. A major donation of $1,888.88 was received from "Mike the privileged taco salad" in honor of the late John C. Dvorak. Mike's note details his history with the show, his experience as a "jack of all trades," and his appreciation for the hosts' media deconstruction, specifically regarding discrepancies in international news translations.

2:18:03 or not and the whole thing with these gloves I don't understand because they seem to be gentle enough if you're like well the guy's like yeah, accidentally touched myself a few times that sounded dirty but hey! If it didn't knock him out well what's the problem? Yeah. Do you have any more stories for us today or should we thank some people for uh... Let's thank some people y'know. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab They're on no agenda Yeah, we are a value for value proposition which means this show is yours. You get to decide if you like it you go over and put a number on it. Go to noagendadonations.com. You help us keep the lights on its time talent and treasure which means we need things like artwork man this was a hell of a week for art uh... you have all sorts of ways that give us boots on the ground support the show it is your

2:19:05 No Agenda show. That's one thing I picked up from Adam years ago where it was always like, well this is your No Agenda show and he said what do you mean by that? It means it is the producers running the show. Everybody's a producer, the podfather actually seems to be enjoying being a producer of this show. Imagine that he really is! He says he likes listening to us... He listened to Planet Rage that is why we are here right now because he listened to Planet Rage and he liked it you can also get over into the troll room let see yeah Oh there they are, 902 for a high.

2:19:49 That's not bad. I mean for us, I mean for us and John would be like that's not enough of course yeah we need everybody to bring one friend with them no bring two friends too it would be better yes the troll room is available over at noagenda dot stream but if you have a podcasting 2.0 app you're notified when the shows go live a bunch of shows use it and it's great because a lot of people enjoy listening live because you don't know what's going to happen. Some shows will edit things like, oh no! What did they say? If somebody rage quits you might miss out on all the fun. So you go over to NoAgenda.Stream, you listen live, you get a podcasting 2.0 app, you take part in the troll room shenanigans and if you are

2:20:39 able to prompt an AI or maybe if you're a real artist we'd love the real artists I know for me the The guy that is the AI prompt jockey. I like the real art A lot of people that are like, I don't think this guy ever listened in no agenda It's like go to the no agenda our generator. I'm only behind Nick the rat in Art wins and They're like, this guy's never actually listened to the show. I was sleeping through it. I bet you that was the issue. Oh Mike Riley is coming in today. Oh man he's good. That's good we like people are going to have to up their game the piece that we chose and we knew it was going to be

2:21:20 Very controversial Right that exactly what it was and we had a conversation about it. And I got an email from a Think was a Viscount That's like, you know That was JCD would never have let that go through because it was grotesque and I'm like, I know Mm-hmm. I know it was a bit grotesque It was from fret pound who this was win number one Which it was the very carnival looking? Yes with the Barker and then the pregnant woman found she was a carnival, but Fauci was the Carnival Barker. Oh is that okay? Yeah I could see that That's a Foushee It looks even more insane than Fauci does normally yeah But that was him whether with it like a walking stick any of this striped jacket on the straw boater hat yes perfect

2:22:11 and he's like the number was 82 not 84 i'm like I know there was a little bit of artistic license. It's okay but when uh and the overall vibe worked, and since it was a cartoonish you can get away with a little bit more. Yes! It wasn't clinical it was an interpretation You know, the other ones you know the guy with the cat from Dr. Evil, The Bears and the Horses fighting, Scaramanga I had a couple like Berkabeats. Yes! We figured if we were gonna go grotesque you may as well really jump into it

2:22:51 Yeah, we felt we just should take a chance and unsettle you a little bit apparently We did in CSB all the naked women are nice But they're probably not going to get picked no I see the naked bodies. I hear John said cheesecake Cheesecake is okay, but they need to be clothes the CSE yes and the burka, burka, burka from Scaramanga we dug. But it took everybody like a half hour to realize she was sitting on cauliflower rather than like what is that? What is that you know? It's got to be simplistic and we not learned anything. The simple joke goes I was almost going to go with the CSB's eye patch guy because it was less offensive then the carnival Barker one but Larry convinced me he's like no no that one's more

2:23:42 eye-catching and you want to be eye catching. So I'm like, well we could go to an evergreen but then the artist will never throw anything in because they'll be like, he didn't pick my art! And then I threatened to just make my own art and put it up there like, I can do it! Yeah, I can do it. I've won however...I'm only behind Nick The Rat if you go to the leaderboard you'll see Nick The Rat 193 me 141 so Wow Nick the Rat will go down in history as the number one no agenda artist unless somebody really, really comes out of nowhere. So thank you Fret Pound it is very much appreciated

2:24:23 Time, talent and treasure. We got to keep the lights on, gotta keep the microphones humming so you gotta send a Darren and Larry donation. I mean just tell us that Darren and Larry donation we want to hear more of those guys yes please but we have a few people too thank for today's show. We have the executive producers which is anything over $333 at the number that everybody enjoys And let me pull up the right screen here. The first one coming in with $1888 and 88 cents, it's one heck of a number that is Mike the privileged taco salad which I've heard a lot of good nicknames. That's great. The privileged taco salad says dear Amy Dear Adam Mimi and the Dvorak family in the morning spelled M O U R N I N G

2:25:21 After listening to show 1888 I discovered that. I must have been living under a rock for most of my life when my buddy Gary hit me in the mouth back around episode 1357 he mentioned the podcast was done by John C Dvorak and Adam Curry My response was John who? I knew who Adam was from MTV, but I had never heard of JCD I was hooked from the start and have not missed any shows since I learned quickly that the both of you know what you're talking about and set feelings and thoughts straight in my mind. That is one of the greatest things about No Agenda." Yes. I liked finding people who think the way that i do, I have questioned things that the mainstream media reports for as long as I can remember

2:26:11 One instance is when George W Bush was president and Gerhard Schroeder Was the German Chancellor The American News was claiming and quoting things that Schroeder was saying And the German news was quoting things in saying what George Bush was saying I just happened to be learning German at the time, and I picked up on what was being translated and could only go no That's not what he said from both sides The news was embellishing the reports. Imagine that what gambling round up the usual suspects exactly and this is especially when things get translated you know there's going to be a funny things going on he continues

2:26:54 I, like you and JCD am also a jack of all trades and master of none. I have donned a lot different hats in my life and know quite a bit by doing so. Again, you two showed me that there are others who are like me. Past nicknames were Hazmat Mike, Outoscope Mike, and Rock n Roll Mike just to name a few Experiencing the love that was shared for JCD was amazing and I am proud to be able to be a part of such a great group. Gitmo Nation rocks! Yeah, it's even better than Schoolhouse Rocks. Definitely. I do hear John grousing at me for the length of this note so I will close it by saying God bless you all

2:27:35 And then he has met Ville Libay and LA which I had to look up, which I know I butchered. It means with much love to you all in German. He says Mike the privileged taco salad PS Kudos to Larry and Darren for their filling in. I have to admit that I visualized Tommy Chong when Larry speaks, and lost it when he said dude with you maybe you do have a Tommy Chong thing going on really so I'm either of a beatnik poet or I'm a Tommie Chong Wow or a total Span yeah geez He says PPS please accept my eighteen hundred eighty eight dollar and eighty-eight cents

2:28:14 Donation in honor of JCD we do thank you very much and then handwritten at the bottom, which I want to let you know My AI got right Type is better than my chicken scratch But hey if the a I can tell what it is. That's all that really matters Yeah, thank you very much. I guess he's already a knight of years there any title change or anything Please let us know but thank you Mike is privileged taco salad Thank You Mike next up is dr Don and Dame Audra 333 dot 88 from places unknown and But this jingle requested Darren it said double-up. You've got a

2:59:40 Another issue this investigation has brought up is Austin's growing homeless population. We spoke with a local agency that says affordable housing is the solution to supporting these individuals and getting them back on their feet Ashley Pratt is joining us now live from downtown Austin with more tonight, Ashley? She walked into a park in Austin she was the type that you could have cost That's when I caught her eye She said that she was from the city I said, baby you're way too pretty to be here As the junkies all drew near She said, I want to help all the homeless people I want to house all the homeless people too. I want to fix all the homeless people I wanna fix Homeless People like You

3:00:40 Well what else could I do? She was standing in my boot. Homeless individuals are not dangerous. I asked if she can give me money, I grabbed her purse then started running off. She gave chase under a bridge and found my dealer. She called up so we had a feel and a race Well it felt pretty great I said, you wanna help all's people You wanna house all the homeless people you see? You wanna fix all the homeless people You wanna fix homeless people like me As the vagrants gather ground She lay unconscious on the ground We'll grab some junk to ease the pain To pass out for a while

3:01:48 And they'll steal your shoes away, and take the crap out in the street where those people eat. Steal some cash and do some meth, stab a drugstore cashier hard to death You're now poor homeless people, all you bleak is what's wrong with the homeless Just realise that you're completely misled Can't fix when a bad guy comes along problems in your head. The government's inadequate funding for mental health services has left more and more people on the streets She says it was obvious he was mentally unstable And you kept saying that I have to open the door for him so that we could hurt and kill our concierge because she is a robot A homeless man approaches, and suddenly smacks her in the head dumped feces all over her A bucket of diarrhea

3:02:50 It was liquid, hot liquid. I was soaked! You can't help all the harmless people You'll never house all the harmless people You're broke you'll never fix All the harmless people Laughing at you And the stupid things you do Cause ya haven't got a clue They are pretty aggressive Even if they don't have anything they kinda come off rude sometimes You can't fix all the homeless people like me.
